Time Text
Welcome to Podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 679.
I am joined by Leo.
Hello!
Who has also come dressed as Scarface.
Bit of a... I sort of blend into this jungle background.
Yes.
Gentle-worn camel.
Yes, it works perfectly.
Yeah, we should have coordinated a bit better, perhaps, you know, gone for the early, early and the late, but still, uh, no blow here.
Anyway, so we are on to discuss, oh, and the date, I should mention the date, it's, it's a Tuesday in summer, isn't it, the 20th of the 6th, right, there we go.
Right, so we are going to do segments on, um, Joe Rogan versus the science, with a, you know, dollar mark, not a, not an S.
I'm doing my segment on how pride has lost its way and it's been captured by gender ideologists and fringe fetish activists.
And also, we're going to reminisce about the 90s, aren't we?
Yeah.
Because they were much better.
They were.
It was the last decent time.
Everything got terrible.
Around about the time Terry Wogan died, everything just fell apart.
Yes, the simulation must have broke.
Right, not good.
Do you have anything you want to promote?
Any upcoming gigs or anything?
I don't know about gigs, but I've got a YouTube channel.
I've got a Patreon.
So yeah, it's sort of like Lotus Eaters, but on a much smaller scale.
It's like just me.
But yeah, there's my YouTube channel.
I'm nearly at 50,000 subscribers.
If you could just subscribe so I can get over that, get to that milestone, that'd be nice.
Yeah, do that now.
Right.
So let's jump in then.
Let's talk about Joe Rogan versus the science.
Now I'm going to have to acknowledge that this is going to be one of those Twitter spat stories and I know a lot of the audience they're not they're not fans of us doing that but this one I think qualifies as something interesting because there is a there is a genuine issue that's sort of going on underneath this.
It all comes from an episode this one here so this is Robert Kennedy Jr.
Who is the nephew of JFK, the guy who got assassinated, and the son of another Kennedy who also got assassinated.
And he's trying very hard not to get assassinated by pointing out that the CIA is evil and basically corrupting everything and starting wars.
You'd think he'd have learnt the lesson from seeing your uncle and your dad getting assassinated for questioning the CIA or the Deep State or whatever.
It's like, wow!
It's like being one of the Butohs.
It's like, when are you going to learn?
Well, he's gonna have a go anyway, and as if taking on the CIA wasn't enough, he's also gonna take on Big Pharma.
Right.
You know, just to make sure he's lined up all the enemies.
Before I get into that, let's do a quick plug for something that was on the website, which is Victorian Values, which was, this one is all about sort of art and science, you know, back in the days when science used to be about figuring stuff out rather than trying to make money.
Yeah.
Which it is today.
Right, so, now, I like RFK, and I did a segment on him previously, back in Podcast 649, and the reason I... because I said I do like this guy, he's really growing on me.
Now, I'm much more on the right, in terms of my politics, so, you know, for me, the debate has always been, oh, is it going to be Trump, or is it going to be DeSantis, or so on.
I'm starting to think that this guy could be our man.
Now, yeah... And he's a Democrat.
Yeah, he is a democrat, but his line on the democrats is that the democrats have become a party of war, censorship and pharmaceuticals.
Yeah, and two of those are bad.
Actually, one of those is bad.
I don't like censorship.
Yes, well... Okay, so we come back... What's the logic there, then, out of interest?
Well, war... War is, like, necessary.
Right.
And pharmaceuticals are good.
Right, okay.
Add one to... Add a peritoneum.
There are possible questions around the amount of wars that the Americans find.
Because the Americans aren't incredibly unlucky, but they seem to find themselves at war all of the time.
They're a global peacekeeper and they project Western liberal democracy around the globe.
I see, okay.
But it is very fortunate then that the people that they find themselves having to bomb also happen to be the people that have the oil.
So, no oil in Afghanistan?
Right.
Okay.
We circle back to that one, because he does pick up on it quite a bit.
But no, RFK, he's also a bit of an eco-mentalist, and that does put me off a bit.
But, at least the way that he does that is he does tend to focus on specific harms.
So, I mean, he goes after sort of mercury and rivers.
I can get behind that sort of eco-mentalism.
I can do that.
It's the stuff that we need to get rid of all the carbon out of the atmosphere.
Generally, most eco-activism is just about raising taxes and handing vastly more power to governments.
And there's never been any time in human history where that's had a good outcome.
Governments are terrible at spending money.
and they're terrible with power.
What you want is a smaller government with less power and more individual autonomy.
You can see people like Elon Musk, a private individual starting a company that creates electric cars, does far more to actually combat climate change than a bunch of soulless apparatchiks just sucking away at the public.
MARK BLYTH: It's all kind of like, oh, it's getting a bit warm.
Why don't you give us more tax money and we'll hand up your freedoms and a bit A bit like 2020 and 2021, which he's also very much against.
So I kind of like that.
And basically my view is that the Western world has been pretty much entirely captured by a small class of elites.
And basically my politics is now I just want the guy who is going to do the most possible damage to that small group of elites.
Or at least rein in their power.
And this is why, you know, across the West we're seeing, you know, people tacking to sort of, I mean, I guess what would be what's called now the far right, but it's really just sort of independent thinkers that would be seen as pretty normal, sensible thinkers in the 80s or 90s.
So, you know, like Maloney in Italy and across Sweden, Germany, Spain, France, everybody's sort of moving to the right.
And it's because it's the only way to get the sort of blob that controls everything.
Like whether you vote Labour or Conservative in the UK, you're still going to have the same policies being applied by the same civil service.
There's not going to be any actual change.
There's still going to be like hugely high immigration, hugely high tax.
So yeah, there's there's nothing you can really do apart from stepping radically outside Well, I mean, you mentioned people are moving to the right, but I mean, that is after decades of moving so far to the left.
I mean, I'm pretty sure if you take any of the characters that we think of right-wing, I mean, you mentioned Maloney, but any of them, basically, and then compared them to 1990s Joe Biden, Joe Biden's well to the right of them from the 1990s.
In fact, I keep meaning to do a segment on old clips of his.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, where he is on, I mean, on race and crime and all that stuff, I mean, no one on the right would go anywhere near that today, but, yeah, that's the thing.
Anyway, right, so Robert Kennedy Jr., he's spent his time being an environmental lawyer, and he's been going off after, you know, a lot of big polluters, that kind of thing, you know, mercury in rivers and coal plants and all that kind of stuff.
And he's used to bringing a high level of evidence to his cases, because obviously he needs to win a case in a court of law.
And he's going up against billion-dollar industries who can afford very good lawyers and bring their own very good experts.
So he is used to providing an evidentiary standard which is extremely high.
Honestly, that Spotify episode that I just pointed out is absolutely brilliant.
It's worth watching and it provides the background to what we're going to get into.
Now, I don't want to play all the clips because otherwise the whole episode will just be taken up with the clip of them rambling through and making the point.
But I am going to tease out one or two bits from the podcast and just make some of the claims as a way of getting into this.
So, one absolutely fascinating thing.
Do you remember all that stuff about the COVID vaccine being 100% effective?
Yeah.
Do you know how they got there?
No.
It's fascinating, right?
What they did is, that's from the Pfizer trial, so what they did is they took 22,000 people and gave them a vaccine and 22,000 people and didn't give them a vaccine, right?
And then they followed them and they said they were going to follow them for five years.
Yeah.
Sounds reasonable.
That seems decent.
So big, big sample size, five years, Yeah, you can give that a plus.
Basically, what they did is they waited a short while and one person in the COVID vaccine group died of COVID.
Right.
And two people in the no vaccine group died of COVID.
Yeah.
And then they stopped the trial.
They immediately stopped the trial, so it only got into like four or five months rather than the five years.
But because two is 100% of one...
What?!
Seriously, yeah.
But that's... I mean, it's not even... I mean, it's 50% more.
Or 100... Is it 100% more?
Well, 2 is 100% of 1.
If you do it from the perspective of the 1.
Not if you do it from the perspective of the 2, but yeah.
But that's ridiculous.
That's not how... I mean, if something's 100% effective, it doesn't mean, like... It's twice, like... Or it's half as deadly as something else.
It means it's zero.
Yes.
But you can see how you can torture the logic to get to the point of... Anyway, so that is where the 100% effective came from, that we heard for the first three months of this thing coming out.
It was from that trial.
So that's one of the things that he points out.
So that's absolutely bonkers.
You know, what else does he do?
Oh yeah, he basically, he spends a long time explaining the reason why in the CDC, The way that you get promotions and career advancement and good performance reviews is by finding ways to increase vaccine uptake.
It's not by finding problems with vaccines.
And then he went on to talk about the NIH, the National Institute for Health or something, a big American regulator for vaccines.
There it's even worse, right?
So if you are one of the regulators and you work on getting a product through regulation, You then get a royalty.
Right.
So you have multiple individuals and these royalties are typically about 150k a year.
Right.
So it's a big incentive.
Yeah.
So if you're, so for example, the Moderna vaccine.
Yeah.
That was when we went through the NIH and Fauci and a whole bunch of other employees there, they are now getting 150 grand a year all for basically in perpetuity.
Right.
So it's not even your lifetime.
It could be a kid's lifetime.
It's basically however long the product lasts.
Right.
So if you are getting 150k a year for that product being on the market, What's your incentives to say, oh, we found a problem with it?
Yeah, that sounds like it.
I mean, how is that allowed?
Yes.
That's remarkable.
I mean, do we put it this way?
I mean, I wouldn't do it personally, because I have, you know, a basic moral standard.
I wouldn't say a high one.
Oh, but for 150 grand a year?
Well, no, no, no.
The example I was going to use is, um, claymore mines as kindergarten toys.
Right.
Now, personally, I wouldn't go for that, even for 150 grand a year, because I couldn't live with myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there is a large enough percentage of the global population It's just a massive conflict of interest and that's the sort of thing that government regulators are usually there to remove.
K a year, I can get myself over that.
And the percentage of that probably goes up for people who operate in these type of jobs because they're psychopaths and they like boats and money and all the other stuff.
So I think that there is a fundamental flaw.
Well, it's just a massive conflict of interest.
And that's the sort of thing that government regulators are usually there to remove.
Yes, but they're probably doing the complete opposite of all of this stuff.
He makes other good points, like he points out that... I mean, you know that thing about how you're always told before surgery that every surgery has risks and you shouldn't do it?
And actually, if you read the medication pull-out thing, it always says, you know, medications has risks up to and including death, and therefore... So basically, surgeries and medication, you're not supposed to use them.
Unless you really need to.
Right, yeah.
And he points out that the third biggest killer in the US is prescription medication.
Yeah.
Not illegal drugs, prescription medication.
So basically, it's cancer, heart disease, prescription medication, third biggest killer.
And so basically, everything he's said so far, all of this is basically just facts.
You're probably dying of the medication or dying with the medication.
No, this would be of.
Right.
But now, the argument would be, OK, well, if you didn't have those medications, even more people would die.
Yeah.
But maybe, maybe not, maybe there's some good ones, maybe there's some really bad ones, and maybe what you need is really good regulators who are incentivized to get to the bottom of this, and he basically explains why they are not incentivized to do any of that stuff.
So all of these are really important points that are worth looking at, and he highlights that the US spends, I think, 4.3 trillion a year on healthcare, And they get lower health outcomes in Costa Rica and Mongolia.
Yeah, yeah.
That money isn't spread equally across the population, of course.
If you're rich, you can afford much better health care.
Although, I mean, the financial incentive in health care doesn't always lead to better outcomes.
I'm a total free market libertarian, but I think the NHS is a good idea.
A healthcare system is geared towards juicing as much, squeezing as much money out of you as possible.
That's not a system that's geared towards, you know, curing you.
My cousin worked as a locum on Harley Street doing palliative care for cancer patients, so people, you know, approaching the end of their life.
And because it was a private clinic and the people were very rich, instead of giving them the medication to just ease out their last few months and let them spend time with their family, they were selling them, upselling really risky experimental treatments for loads and loads of money.
These people are desperate so they're paying for it, but it wasn't at all the best option for them.
Yeah, I can well believe that.
I push back on the idea that there are only two options, which is the NHS and the American system.
I think there's loads of different ways we could get around it.
But the point is, America clearly is spending an awful lot of money and getting worse outcomes than an awful lot of places.
And I just kind of put it like this.
My area of expertise has been finance.
I know for a fact that the U.S.
is over-financialized.
Is it possible that the U.S.
is over-medicated?
When you're making money from it, it seems very liable.
And another thing, I mean, I'll just throw in there, it's not directly relevant to this point, but I just found it fascinating.
He was talking about, you know, Roundup, that stuff you spit on Oh, yeah, yeah.
Monsanto.
Yeah, the active ingredient in that was basically something that was going to go into a medication.
And they realised it didn't have the outcome that they wanted.
At some point, somebody... People pissed in the garden, they were killing their weeds.
Basically that, yeah.
Yeah, basically they figured out that.
That he was killing stuff when it was coming out.
Right?
And so they thought, oh, hang on a minute, we can use this on weeds.
And what used to be the case, you used to have basically loads of people with Mexican accents wandering around farms spraying it on a little weed here and there.
And then Monsanto figured out a way of saying, OK, why don't we make a crop that you can spray Roundup on?
Yeah.
And it's fine.
And it kills everything else.
Because then you don't need all those Mexicans.
You basically just do it from a helicopter.
Do everything, yeah.
Right.
And it kills everything off.
And he points out that basically, at the same time they did that, gluten allergies were like that.
Right, yeah.
Now that kind of makes sense to me.
Now, correlation is not causation because, you know, for example, the classic one on this is shark attacks and ice cream sales.
Perfectly correlated.
One follows the other one in almost sort of, you know, perfect correlation.
But it's not causation.
So all of this stuff that he's pointed out doesn't necessarily mean he's 100% right, but he's clearly onto something that is worth looking at if all of these things go through right.
And his bigger thing is autism and vaccines.
Basically, he points out that, again, it's just like the Roundup example.
They got legal liability protection from putting stuff out in vaccines.
The number of vaccines went through the roof.
A whole bunch of stuff, including stuff that was basically designed to treat STDs.
yeah that you only really kind of need to give to hookers um but they would start giving you know yeah well judging me but they started giving it to six-month-old kids right because by doing that it then got the legal liability protection right and so that one went on the childhood register
Something like 87 different vaccines that American kids now get and he says you look at these things and they all contain mercury which he happens to know a lot about because he spent a lot of time looking at mercury in rivers and stuff like that and it correlates very nicely with the increase in autism and maybe there's an issue there and then he goes through a whole list of scientific papers that have made exactly that connection.
So there is a case to be answered for.
He's on the biggest podcast in the world He's got, you know, massive support.
I think one in five Democrats now want him as their presidential nominee.
Right.
So, I mean, he's got... Well, here's Joe Biden!
A man's still virile!
Still quick-witted!
Well, yeah, I mean, apart from the fact he can't walk or talk about doing himself a serious injury.
I mean, I know he's old, but still.
Anyway, so, having made all of these claims, and sounding to me persuasive, enter Peter Hortes.
So, uh, yeah, so this is, this is, um... Oh, that's not Peter Hortes.
Well, the tweet is from Peter Hortes.
So, he basically starts calling on Spotify to censor this episode.
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, well, who is Peter Hortes?
Well, actually, he went on Rogan himself.
So, let's watch this clip from this health expert.
Our thing is to go to the, it's called the burger joint, or to Shake Shack to get a cheeseburger.
We'll sneak some fries.
Living large, we call it.
I like that mouth pleasure so much you're willing to sacrifice a little bit of health.
I have to concede that's the case.
I don't have to tell you, but there's a large body of data that connects poor diet to a host of diseases.
That seems like a crazy decision for a guy in your line of work.
There you go.
Sometimes it's not all brain, it's something else.
But I mean, if you ate healthy food, I mean, the thing is, your body starts craving healthy food.
Yeah, no question, no question about it.
Do you take vitamins?
I don't take vitamins.
Really?
Wow.
I don't think they're needed.
What?
Hold up, hold up.
You don't think they're needed while you're eating junk food?
Well, hopefully I'm not only eating junk food, right?
But, you know, there's a large body of clinical research on the efficacy of vitamins, especially vitamins D, vitamins B... I have taken vitamin D for periods.
A recommendation of my internist, yeah.
What about essential fatty acids, which are great for your brain, fish oil, all these different things that are fantastic for your inflammation.
I'm not going to argue with you.
What is going on with you, doctor?
You got it over me.
Listen, but you would have a much better argument.
You're making my life stay here.
You're taking care of yourself 100% instead of just concentrating.
But you still need your vaccines.
So here we have a health expert who understands very clearly that health is not something you do every day.
It's not about exercise, it's not about vitamins, it's about taking vaccines.
Finally enough, that's also how he makes his living, by selling vaccines.
You'll be shocked to hear.
Well yeah, if he was a fishmonger he'd be like, listen, you've got to eat fish.
Yes, yes, I think it is exactly that.
So, Mr. Hortes, he's not unfamiliar with the Rogan experience, because he's been on it himself, and he's not shy of prominence and debating this topic, because he's always on TV, basically, pushing this stuff.
The thing is, he seems to like only having a debate on this subject if the channel that he is on is also sponsored by Pfizer.
Otherwise, he's less keen on having that debate.
So basically, what happened then is a whole bunch of people... Well, Rogan started off by saying, okay, well...
Come back on and have a conversation with RfK.
See where you got to.
And that sort of kicked off this whole spat that we're here to talk about.
Now, I'm going to borrow from some comments that Rubin made.
People feel incredibly lied to at this point.
Because we have been fed lie after lie after lie.
And he lists a couple which are worth highlighting, just the number of them we've had thrown at us.
Russian collusion.
Donald Trump, very fine people.
Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist.
Hunter Baden's laptop is a conspiracy theory.
Jesse Smollett.
Covington kids are racist, mostly peaceful protests while the fire is in the background.
COVID, vax stops COVID, masks works, lockdown is scientific, boys are girls and vice versa, and Joe Biden is mentally sound.
And just yesterday we had a teacher telling pupils that they had to change school if they didn't believe another pupil was a cat.
You're covering that next, aren't you?
Good, good, good.
So anyway, so the list goes on and on, and basically the people in power, they won't debate because for decades they haven't needed to.
Because they won by default, because they were in a position of power.
So I think that what's happened is they've got lazy.
Bad habits have crept in and that has led to corruption and mistakes.
And now they can't let anybody see behind the curtain because they know how dirty it is behind there.
And especially with the legal system in the US which is basically if you make a mistake you get sued and you lose your house.
It is very difficult to admit to there being a mistake.
So you can't do it.
And actually, I'll just make a broader point.
I did some brokenomics on Thomas Sowell recently, and it involved me looking at a whole bunch of 70s TV debates.
And it used to be common in the 70s for there to be an hour-long, sit-down, high-level debate between experts on quite nuanced subjects.
These days, you don't get anything like that anymore.
So there just is no debate.
I mean, I can't remember one in any recent time.
Anyway, so Rogan jumps in, Gadsad jumps in, Elon Musk jumps in, and then a whole swathe of people start offering this guy money.
And it's like, well, for a charity of his choice.
So I think Rogan starts off with like a hundred grand for charity of your choice if you come on and you debate this RFK on my podcast.
Yeah.
Right and anyway it keeps on going and going and last I saw it was up to 1.6 million for charity of his choice.
So basically what we're saying here is okay you are Supposedly one of the world experts in this subject.
Yeah, this is the tweet here that Musk put up.
So there's a whole series of this and he kicks off a whole sort of thing.
Basically the whole weekend was about this on Twitter.
So basically this guy is apparently one of the leading experts in vaccines who has a PhD in the subject who is always on TV talking about them and apparently it is completely unreasonable for him to do this because What we had is basically argument after argument as to why it was completely and utterly unreasonable for this guy to come on and debate RFK on this.
Let's go to the next tweet.
I think there's one from Rob Graham here.
It's a long tweet, but I just wanted to pull out a bit of it that just made me chuckle.
He says, towards the end of the second tweet, is, moreover, the RFK Rogan audience have such low levels of education, they simply cannot follow the complex explanations debunking it.
That's the language of the dictatorship.
You can't trust people to vote.
They're too stupid.
What that reminds me of is the Middle Ages and the thing about we have to keep the Bible in Latin.
Yeah, yeah.
Because people are just simply too stupid to understand it and they need to have it fed to them as to why they need to sort of do all these things.
So anyway, there was a whole bunch of... I mean, there were thousands of them.
Honestly, the whole weekend was basically everybody on the left coming up and saying, it's impossible for this guy with a PhD who debates these subjects all the time on TV to go on Joe Rogan and debate it against RFK.
And basically everybody on the right was saying, just have a conversation.
Did he end up doing it?
No.
No, no, he's still... I mean, I just checked before we came on the podcast.
He's still making excuses as to why he couldn't possibly go on there and debate this stuff.
Right.
Yeah.
There might be a reason why he's a bit concerned about getting tripped up.
I think we've got another video of Peter here.
This might throw some light on it.
I'm strongly recommending for adolescents to get their two doses of vaccine fully immunized after those two doses.
Advanced technology that can help save lives!
This is going to be a long-lasting vaccine.
A long-lasting vaccine.
A few moments later... We're seeing that two doses is not holding up well for emergency room visits.
It's not holding up well for hospitalizations.
Here we are again!
Everyone's going to need a booster.
You need that third immunization.
Triple the amount!
Get that third immunization.
The two mRNA vaccines were always a three-dose vaccine.
The two mRNA vaccines were always a three-dose vaccine.
I've always said this is a three-dose vaccine.
I've always said this is a three-dose vaccine.
This is a three-dose vaccine.
But I'm not done yet!
That third immunization... The problem is, it's not holding up.
So, we may have to look at sort of innovative solutions.
Oh God, not this again.
A fourth immunization.
Oh boy.
Just to keep them going.
To keep the country going.
We have to consider some out of the box things.
A fourth immunization.
Fourth!
A fourth immunization.
Get that second boost.
A second boost.
To keep the country going.
I've made that recommendation.
A fourth immunization.
But I'm still not done!
Unfortunately, the numbers are starting to trend up again.
So the hospitalizations are up.
And so the most important message that I have this morning is get your new bivalent booster.
Willie and Lise were saying they got their booster, and I was like, oh, I need to get mine.
And then I found out they're talking about the third shot.
And is that the bivalent, or is it the fourth booster, or does it matter?
Don't worry so much about the number of... There's no wrong way to use... That is a genius clip, whoever put that together.
It's in the reading list.
It's worth going and watching the whole thing.
But basically, where he gets to is one a month.
Right.
That was his ultimate position.
A vaccine a month?
Yes.
Oh my god!
When I was a kid you got like one.
You got one in your arm.
And it was like that do you for like whooping cough.
Actually I never got the, I never, I never got the thing.
I had whooping cough and mumps and all the rest of it.
Right.
Because my mum was a hippie.
But like yeah you used to like it was like eat a sugar cube for polio.
I had that one.
Oh yeah.
And the other one's like a multi jab that goes in your and it goes in your arm once.
Maybe you get it twice.
And if you go on holiday you have to get vaccinated for like you know whatever they've got over there diphtheria or whatever.
But like, none of this like, once a month vaccine.
What sort of vaccine runs out after a month?
This is like, they're moving to a subscription model instead of a one-time lump sum.
And they want to keep you paying.
And he was pushing this for 12 year olds, so it went from two and you're done, because you'll never catch Covid, to let's say you're 12 and you live to 90, Yeah.
936 vaccine doses.
Yeah.
That was smart, that was quick.
That's quick counting.
Right, next tweet.
Right, this is, oh yeah, so basically there was just hundreds and hundreds of these.
Right, so this woman is saying, these smug pilots have lost touch with regular passengers like us, who do you think should fly the plane?
She's called Mandy Slutsker.
I didn't even notice that until now.
I just wanted to point that out.
That is unfortunate.
But yeah, the government didn't bloody mandate that we all had to fly on a new prototype plane.
A bit Mandy Slutsker's been on a mandate.
Moving on, before you make any more jokes on poor old Mandy, what's the next one?
Oh yeah, oh no, might be another one.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the guy in the corner, yeah.
So Rogan wants to host two vaccine scientists on the data than them all for it.
So basically, this doctor is saying that, you know, if it's two vaccine salesmen, ultimately deriving their income from Pfizer, then that's a worthwhile debate.
Otherwise, yeah, let's not do that one.
What have I got in the next one?
There is nothing to debate.
The vaccines work.
Why debate something if everybody can look it up for themselves?
This is patently obvious to the rest of the world.
We ran a race against the clock to get these and once we had them, fewer people died.
It's not rocket science.
It's vaccine.
Vaccine science.
It's medical.
The failures of logic in that.
Yeah.
I've got no doubt that vaccines saved lives, reduced the severity of symptoms for some people.
I never got vaccinated.
I never got vaccinated, but I just, I know that for people, COVID seemed to mostly affect fat and old people.
So like, vaccinate them, you know what I mean?
This guy's pushing vaccines on like 12-year-olds?
12-year-olds were pretty much completely unharmed.
I'm deeply suspicious they did anything at all, but I mean, if you're fat and old, well, I mean, you know, why not?
Yeah, what's it gonna do?
Alright, it might increase the risk of, you know, certain complications from the vaccine, but you're fat and old.
Oh yeah, your life expectancy is not high anyway.
So it's probably on the balance of probabilities, it's going to take a bit off the call.
But for healthy young people, I mean, it seems ridiculous.
If I was fat and old, there's a whole list of substances that I would be looking to before just going for that one anyway.
Because, I mean, you know, you've not got much time left, so you might as well get high.
That's my thinking.
Right.
Now, the thing that really upset people was this whole autism thing.
And basically, he cannot get anybody to debate him.
He's been trying for 18 years.
Let's listen to the man himself.
There's no problem here.
But this is my point, that I asked him, what does?
And he said, there's a few, there's environmental factors they're aware of.
I go, what are those?
And he couldn't cite them.
Like, how can you be so sure to say, this definitely doesn't, but you're telling me there's a bunch of environmental factors that do cause it, and we're aware of those factors, but you're not aware of them, and you're an expert in this?
Yeah.
How is that possible?
You're a... I mean, that's... He's a health expert.
That's the big question that anybody who says it's not the vaccines, I'm like, okay, fine.
But they don't want, if you say it's not the vaccines, people go, oh, good.
That's what I wanted to hear.
That's what I want to hear.
What is it?
When you say it is the vaccines, people go, oh my God, I don't want to hear that.
They don't want to hear it.
And they get angry.
They get angry at you and they go, oh, tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist.
But the fact that no one will debate you speaks volumes, especially now.
They can't say now that you're not popular.
And what's crazy is that Biden now has decided he's not even going to debate anybody in the primary.
Right.
So basically the official line is that, don't worry, we know exactly what's causing this surge in autism.
It's environmental factors.
Okay.
I'd have thought, I mean I haven't looked into it but um because parents are getting older.
I think a lot of stuff comes down to... Well yeah but that's not the official line.
The official line is it's environmental factors.
Oh really?
And it's well understood.
Right.
But okay so what are the environmental factors?
Oh we can't tell you.
Right.
Yeah.
So, you know, possibly that there is a case here because they're telling us it's the other thing.
So, I mean, they're saying that, you know, OK, it's well understood what it is, but we can't tell you what it is.
But it's definitely, definitely not all this massive increase in vaccines that people are being forced to take from a young age, which are filled with mercury.
So yes that's the line.
I thought it's because everybody's waiting till they're like 41 to squeeze a baby out so they're getting like you know IVF and all the rest of it.
I mean I had a baby age uh 46.
Me, not the baby.
That'd be very old for a baby.
But it's uh I think it's the older you are.
I mean Al Pacino just had a baby and he's aged 83.
As a man, the older you are, the more your DNA degrades.
It's not quite the same as a woman.
You don't hit that wall.
I thought it was more of an issue with the mother.
It is more of an issue with the mother, but as a man, the older you are, the more your DNA degrades.
But yeah, men and women, you need one of each, are having children later and later now because they prioritise their careers.
That's not the official line anymore, one of each.
No, it can be.
Right, one final tweet on this whole thread.
So, Peter Hortes basically wanted to make it a hate crime to criticise public health officials.
So he was pushing this back during the pandemic, which is basically saying that you should be locked up if you question Fauci and other public health officials.
That is insanity!
I've noticed hate crime immediately just became a tool for silencing any sort of dissent or any criticism.
And criticism is absolutely necessary if you interrogate an idea And question it, then you make the idea stronger, you show that it's, you show by defeating the criticism, you show that it's strong.
And also, ideas from the criticism make it better.
So Stalin, for example, I mean you see under any sort of autocratic regime, it's a much, they make much worse decisions.
Like militarily, Stalin, you know, Stalin was, until he started taking advice from his generals, he was doing an absolutely terrible job.
And then obviously, you know, once he'd actually won World War II.
He then, you know, everybody who gave him advice, he had them killed for giving him advice and questioning him in the first place.
But yeah, man, that's why the strength of democracy is the debate and the clash of ideas and the questions.
Oh, absolutely.
It's 100% how you get to the truth.
And the thing is with R.O.K.
is he's written a book, The Real Anthony Fauci.
We got it in the office somewhere, if I should have brought it along, but he's written a whole book on this.
Now that book, Um, he's basically 100% libelous if it's not true.
Right.
And he's been out for about five years and she hasn't sued him yet.
Yeah.
Vote, you'd have a long list of people to sue them.
Yeah, but I mean, this guy, I mean, he's got the money, he can pay.
Yeah, yeah.
And you make money if you're, if you're successful.
Yeah.
And there's, there's no reason not to go after him.
So, you know, I would just say, who do you trust?
You know, is it the guy who's taking the funding for the vaccine companies?
And Bill Gates.
Hortense gets a lot of money from Bill Gates.
Who doesn't want to debate, and he basically wants to make debate illegal.
Or is it the guy who wrote a book, and put all his claims out there, and is saying, yeah, come along and debate me, and if I'm wrong, I can be sued.
You know, pick your poison.
Yeah, right.
Okay, I'll do my section now on Pride and how it sort of lost its way because I mean Pride started out, you know, as a good idea there's genuine oppression against gay people, there's discrimination in employment, education, in the military you weren't allowed to serve in the military although obviously you know people did and just didn't say You weren't allowed to get married and it was straight up illegal to have a bit of man-on-man action.
People were sent to jail, arrested and all the rest of it for all that stuff.
So it started in 1970, the Pride marches in the UK started in 1972 and homosexuality had been partially decriminalised by the Sexual Offences Act of 1967.
So it's no longer illegal for two men over the age of 21 to have sex in private in England and Wales.
It's still a crime in Scotland but, you know, we're... What?
How is it actually still legal in Scotland?
No, I'm guessing it was then.
Ah, okay.
But that is because men in Scotland have got... we've got much easier access because of the kilts.
So... But is the solution to legalise it or is the solution to go down the cannabis route where you basically just never enforce it?
Probably to legalise it because otherwise it's just discrimination.
But then you end up where we are today.
We're going to get on to that.
Thousands of men were convicted in the following years for indecency, soliciting or importuning offences that criminalised interactions that wouldn't have been illegal for a man and a woman.
Even in the military you could get a custodial sentence.
So the right to exist, to gather in public and to be seen was a powerful thing.
People really felt it and was genuinely brave to march back then.
They were getting bottles chucked at them, they were getting abuse shouted at them by the police who didn't have rainbow helmets on.
But most importantly, Pride back then was adult.
Adult gay people wanting to, you know, just wanting to exist and have the same rights.
So, you know, nobody's got a problem with, you know, adult gay people.
Now, they've sort of brought, well, we'll get onto it, but they've sort of, they're bringing kids into it and they're making it not about sexuality anymore.
But yeah, after, you know, the first Pride, you know, the fight for equality really started working, the rights started expanding, they got the freedom.
To serve in the military.
The Equality Act of 2010 made employment discrimination illegal.
In 2013, gay marriage, same-sex marriage was passed.
Same-sex marriage was passed.
And I mean, I think gay or marriage was always a bit gay.
You know, you got cake, you got flowers, you got people saying, "I love you." I'm not a fan of marriage.
I think it should be mandatory.
It should be, it should be mandatory for, for, for gay people just to, you know, it's like, Oh no, no, I'm talking about marriage in general.
You don't like marriage?
Yeah, but well, I don't like the fact that the state controls it.
I think it should be, you should separate state from, from marriage.
Yeah.
No, the state doesn't really control it.
Because once you're at home, the state isn't there.
I'm married.
I've never once... Yeah, but I had to go to a government office and get a little piece of paper that said I could and that annoyed me.
Yeah.
Yeah, but otherwise you're not official.
It's like getting your car insured.
Or something.
You can't, you can't just like, maybe that's a bad example, but you know, or getting a gun registered.
You can't.
Yeah, I'd like to do that.
You can't get it registered by just your mate down the pub or whatever.
But yeah, and also socially, you know, homosexuality, all that sort of stuff became much more acceptable and equality was achieved and oppression just isn't the same now.
You know, people talk about, oh, it's literal genocide and we're so oppressed like no there's like there's literal there's genuine like gay bars in every town where you can go in and you know suck a dick or whatever you want to do and you know and that's great but they're state sanctioned it's not a terribly effective genocide if the numbers keep going up every year exactly you Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
And, you know, now every corporation is desperate to show, you know, desperate to be part of Pride and show how accepting they are and how inclusive they are.
And there's huge positive representation in the media.
But now, you know, we've got this acceptance in law and in society.
But, you know, it's like the guy with the sword who killed the dragon and then he still has the sword so he's going around looking for more stuff to kill.
They're still fighting that.
They're still fighting that.
So now there's 180 Pride events across the UK.
Pride London has 50 events alone, just to make sure that equality is maintained.
But Pride isn't the same as it was.
Bill Clinton first declared June to be National Gay and Lesbian Pride Month back in 1999.
But now, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have expanded the Pride declarations to include more people of different sexualities and gender identities.
So this year, Joe Biden proclaimed June to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month.
So instead of just being lesbian and gay, it's become LGBTQI+, and all the rest of it.
What about all the other ones?
Because that sounds a bit exclusive, doesn't it?
No, it's in Plus.
Plus covers everything.
Plus covers all your two-spirit and all the rest of it.
But yeah, that QI Plus includes all kinds of weirdos that have got nothing at all to do with homosexuality.
So, you know, fetishists and just fringe lunatic activists.
So Carla Jay, who helped organise the first ever Pride marches in New York and Los Angeles in 1970, says LGBTQIA is so broad that it's really quite difficult to hold together as a front.
I mean, the 'A' in that, for example, stands for asexuals.
And asexuals have never been discriminated against.
I mean, sorry if you're asexual and you have been discriminated against.
Isn't that being cells?
Asexual is when you don't have sex.
You choose not to have sex.
I mean, I'm guessing in a lot of cases, if they could actually get sex, they wouldn't be claiming to.
They would suddenly decide that they're not a gay anymore.
Yeah.
But asexuals is somebody who, you know, doesn't want to have sex.
And it's like, that's, that's exactly what every sort of, you know, religious doctrine, all the rest of it.
Oh, that's married people.
That's what every religious person, all the patriarchal societies have said to the young people, don't have any sex, wait until you're married.
And so that is asexual, they're doing exactly what they want.
There's never been a...
Yeah.
There's never been a dad who's like, listen, listen while you're living under my roof.
It's my rules.
You're going to have some sex.
You know what I mean?
That's not, that's not a father thing.
There's, I don't know, maybe asexuals get discriminated against, you know, if they park where there's dogging and you know, then the doggers will get annoyed, but there's no, yeah, there's no discrimination against asexuals.
There's a big dogging spot near mine, near mine actually.
That's great.
You don't want to go to that car park early in the morning for a walk with the kids.
Early in the morning?
They do it in the morning.
No, no, no, they do it overnight but, you know, they don't clean you up after themselves.
Right, yeah, they'll leave the stuff.
You know, quite often there'll be like seven cans of lager and like 22 condoms left lying around.
I look at that and I think to myself, I don't approve of your lifestyle, but whoever that bloke is, Thumbs up to you, sir.
Could be more than one, I suppose.
Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.
A lot of stuff in Pride now isn't anything to do with lesbians or gays.
It's heterosexuals who have a kink, like dressing up like a puppy or having a dwarf in a chain covered in goose fat.
Whatever it is, whatever their kink is, it's not to do with being lesbian or gay.
And gender ideology as well.
The T, the trans and, you know, all the other gender identities.
It has nothing to do with sexual intercourse between adults, but relates to what you identify as and also crosses the boundary into children and, you know, what they identify.
So we're starting to, they're starting to co-opt children into this.
And this alienates women and lesbians.
I mean, we've got a video coming up.
I think it's this one.
We are marching in a march.
At the moment... No, I just want to make sure... Yeah, you'll know now.
Let me just explain to you and it'll give you some understanding.
So at the moment, your march, this group of people, is causing confrontation between different groups of people and gays.
We're lesbians.
We're lesbians.
It's going fine.
Whatever you are at the moment is causing confrontation.
You can safely march yourselves.
But that's your choice.
- No! - No! - We don't want it!
Fuck off! - You're saving you march yourselves. - We don't want to do that.
We want to be-- - And that's your choice, so what I'm telling you is make sure it's safe.
We are going to remove you from the road.
And I want you to do that on your own accord.
I want to make sure I understand that you're removing lesbians from an LGBT march.
Yes, that is what's happening.
For your safety.
For your safety.
For other people's safety.
That's what I'm doing.
You should be able to protect lesbians in your right hand.
We can have further conversations about the reasons why, at the side of the road.
Yeah that's enough of that.
So these are women at Pride Coomber in Wales and they're carrying banners adorned with the words trans activism erases lesbians and lesbians don't like penises because there's been this movement in LGBTQ to sort of almost pressure lesbians to have sex with trans women who have But the lesbians are like, I'm same-sex attracted, not same-gender attracted.
But the L's are literally the start of LGBT.
So this thing is now moving on so far that the letters are starting to drop off the other side?
Yeah, they're getting pushed out.
They're seen as the bigoted old guard because these bigoted lesbians won't have sex with trans women.
They're described as, they say they're not real lesbians, they're vagina fetishists.
It's really mind-blowing stuff.
So yeah, those lesbians were kicked off the Pride Parade and there's been other attacks on lesbians at Pride Parade.
So in 2018 at one of the Get the L Out protests, the gay male MC joked on stage that the protesters should be dragged off the parade by their saggy tits.
I mean that's a pretty nasty thing to say about, that's a misogynist thing to say.
And Angela Wilder, founder member of Get The L Out, said that they protested the march to highlight the appalling treatment of lesbians by the queer identified crowd and the climate of sexual coercion that lesbians have to navigate daily.
She says, the way we were treated both by the LGBT crowd and the police who refused to let us march and failed to protect us is a clear reflection of the current anti-lesbian image brought by trans activists.
So that's a lesbian talking about pride.
Just to come back on the saggy tits thing, I will have to give the tees this.
They do have cracking nocks.
Yeah, because they're generated.
Yes.
They're put there by a surgeon.
So it's great.
Although not all of them.
You can just identify.
Gender ideology has reached a point where anybody can just identify as whatever.
So I can say I'm a woman and then I'm a woman.
I just don't subscribe to patriarchal gender norms.
Well you can get back on the BBC then.
There's a comedian who did that.
Ah, what's his name?
Will Franken.
So he lived, and this was before all the gender ideology stuff kicked off, but basically he just chucked a frock on and said, I'm a woman.
And I booked him for a show.
And he was standing outside the show, just like six feet, six foot two or whatever, smoking a cigarette.
With a frock?
Yeah, with a, you know, just frock on.
And the bouncer saw him and was all like, who's this?
And I went, can you just move?
You just move away from the front door of the building please while you're smoking and Sarah Franken turned around and was like, you're gonna make a lady smoke in the rain!
Funniest thing I've seen.
Some people are saying...
The LGBT now erases gays.
Gender ideology erases gays.
So this is whistleblowers from the Tavistock Gender Clinic, which is the UK's main clinic for treating gender dysphoria and transitioning children and I think adults as well, but I'm not sure.
And they said it feels like conversion therapy for gay children, according to these clinicians.
So ex-NHS staff fear that homophobia is driving a surge in transgender young people.
This experimental treatment is being done not only on children, but very vulnerable children who have experienced mental health difficulties, abuse, family trauma, and sometimes those other factors just get whitewashed, one female clinician said.
If someone was suggesting plastic surgery or any other permanent change, we'd be saying, hang on a minute.
But because it's gender transitioning, nobody questions that you're not allowed.
You get sent on training courses if you question it.
Clinical psychologists carry out each initial assessment at the Tavistock.
They're the gatekeepers who decide whether to refer transgender youngsters to the endocrine clinic for the next stage of treatment.
therapists once had months to work through underlying issues before making decisions on medical intervention but the clinicians claim that young people are now routinely referred for hormone therapy after as few as three sessions that's i mean that's insane so three three sessions and you're on hormones so it is pathway it is 100 grooming and we know this because rates of transgenderism is going up and then the pandemic hit and they and these kids no longer had access to teachers yeah
and these clinicians and the rate of transgenderism started to trend back to the baseline right and it was only once the lockdowns were over they got access to the teachers so it is provably grooming right right i haven't seen that that data but i don't know i don't know I believe you implicitly.
They believe that physically healthy children are being medicated in response to pressure from transgender lobby groups and parental anxieties.
So many potentially gay children were being sent down the pathway to change gender.
Two of the clinicians said there was a dark joke among staff at the Tavistock that there would be no gay children left or no gay people left because they were transitional.
So anybody who presented with, you know, Quite often, you know, gay people will have, you know, a gay man will have sort of feminized characteristics and, you know, vice versa.
We just saw the lesbians arguing there.
You get British lesbians, you know what I mean?
And like, so now gender ideology will say, oh, you've got some, you've got some characteristics that are true, that have traditionally stereotypically been seen as from the other, other sex.
Or maybe you're transgender and they're getting put into these clinics and previously would maybe grow up and be gay adults and instead they're transitioning them.
It's like Iran.
It's like what they do in Iran because homosexuality is illegal there.
Another person said, another clinician at the Tavistock said, I frequently had cases where people started identifying as trans after months of horrendous bullying for being gay.
Young lesbians considered at the bottom of the heap suddenly found they were really popular when they said they were trans because it's the, you know, it's the cool thing to do now.
Another clinician said, we heard a lot of homophobia, which we felt nobody was challenging.
A lot of the girls would come in and say, I'm not a lesbian.
I fell in love with my best girlfriend, but then I went online and realized I'm not a lesbian.
I'm a boy.
So, you know, that's the sort of internalized homophobia.
And part of the surge in transitioning is due to transitioning replacing anorexia as the preferred social contagion of middle-class white teens who want to desexualize and control their bodies.
You can see this represents internet searches.
So it shows you the level of interest in each.
So you can see anorexia is trending down to, you know, very minimal levels.
And as it's trended down, transgenderism has, you know, surged up and taken over.
That is very interesting.
So, you know, like, you know what it's like as a, and we're going to talk about the 90s in a bit, but when you're at school, man, things go round, you know, everybody gets a mullet, everybody gets, you know, double denim and then, but at least you can, you can grow a mullet out.
You can't, if you get a mastectomy or get your genitals removed, like there's no, and kids are asking now, kids that have transitioned are asking in forums, like, when will my breasts grow back?
And it's like, man, that's, that's like a Monty Python sketch, that.
Yeah, yeah, man, it's sad.
And there's other pridey type stuff dragging kids in, so there's Drag Queen Story Hour, there's a Munich library that had an act called Eric Bigclit reading stories to a kid.
The next tab we've got somebody...
There was a clearly identifiable bollock hanging out there.
I don't like it, Leo.
That is a woman's scrotum that you can see.
There is a clearly identifiable bollock hanging out there.
I don't like it, Leo.
That is a woman's scrotum that you can see.
So this is a female identifying dancer.
Oh, God, there are kids in the front row.
There's kids.
Yeah, there's kids watching it.
I mean, liberal kids.
Kids of liberal parents.
But still, I don't think anybody deserves it.
I don't deserve this.
Brian, we're all somebody's child.
Pride has become a lot more performative and because of tribalism, liberal parents drag their toddlers down.
They say, Trump and DeSantis don't like this so I'm going to drag my toddlers down to Pride and force them to stare at it.
Yeah, the next tab shows exactly this.
I think it's the one after this.
So that's another terrible thing.
That's just a naked man in front of small children.
You used to get arrested for that when I was a kid.
Yeah, and now, you know, I mean, I'm not saying that, you know, we've got these things like, you know, there's the naked family sex show and all these things where, you know, people expose themselves or simulate sex in front of children, you know, live.
I'm not saying they've got bad intentions or they're paedophiles or anything.
No, I'm sure they are.
But if somebody was a paedophile and they wanted to have access to children and they got a thrill out of being naked in front of children, that's where they'd go.
That's the forum for it.
It's not the Catholic Church anymore.
It's not the BBC.
That's where you'd go.
We need more data.
We need another one of your charts.
We need Google searches for how do I become a Catholic priest versus how do I do Dragtime Story Hour and just see if the lines cross.
In the 1600s there were very few searches.
The next tab shows Pride has become performative and very sexualized and here's somebody's butthole being exposed to a toddler.
Which, you know, I know part of me thinks These liberal parents, they're just messing up their children.
This is Darwinism, just let it happen.
But no, they're kids.
It shouldn't go on.
It's ridiculous.
But corporations support Pride.
There's huge amounts of funding.
I better just quickly skip through this.
Insane amounts of funding.
Corporations pay up to £240,000 to have their brands put on the Pride floats and all the rest of it.
And there's taxpayers money as well.
Last year the Mayor's office in London pledged continuing support with £625,000 for Pride.
It's just insane.
That's money that should be, well, it just shouldn't be taken off people.
If that's what money's been spent on, like, if there's so many corporate sponsors, why do you need all this money?
They've got so much money because, I mean, a decade ago they really needed taxpayers' money to keep going, but apparently now it's only about 9% of the income of Pride.
A lot of the rest comes from corporate sponsorship.
Sometimes it backfires.
Getting involved in Pride can backfire for corporations now and it's because Pride has been corrupted and it isn't just about adult homosexuals anymore.
It's about all this fetishism and queer ideology, gender ideology and bringing kids in in quite nefarious ways.
Stay away from kids!
That's not bigoted to say, stay away from kids.
The question I ask with this stuff is, if it was a design to get to open paedophilia as soon as possible, how would it look different to what we're currently seeing?
Yeah, exactly.
We're seeing mainstream media like ABC, which is the equivalent of the BBC in Australia, they issued guidance for their reporters saying don't use the term paedophile because it's...
It's something, I can't remember, it was like... Did you have a photo of them or something?
Yeah, they like, because they said like paedophiles don't always act on their urges so we don't want to like, you know, smear them as as assaulters and I'm like, man, like...
I think it's okay to, we don't need to worry about Peter Bell rings.
So if there's one group, I'm not going to like, you know, go and like, you know, bang down the door of City Hall.
But they've started, they are doing it now.
You would have said the same thing about, you know, the Trannies, you know, 20 years ago, people would have made the same arguments.
But now it's it's like okay we're knocking down that fence and we're going for the next one.
I think well transgender people I think it's you know I absolutely accept transgender people like the genuine transgender people who sort of put effort and and like look like women it's the ones that just look like me like there's not even any lipstick and they're like I'm a woman it's like what Why am I having to do your transition in my head?
Why don't you at least meet me halfway?
I don't even care about them because they're kind of taking the piss.
It's the ones that you started with.
It's the young lesbians who are basically being said, okay, no, you have to go down the trans route, not the lesbian route.
Yeah, they're being railroaded away from being a lesbian.
I mean, that's shocking.
That's gay erasure.
Yeah, which is a great band by the way, Gay Erasure.
But yeah, so corporations sponsor it.
But sometimes it backfires.
I mean, Target, they had pride displays right up the front of their stores.
I mean, it's crazy how much, you know, this can take over shops now.
But they had like tuck-friendly transgender bathing suits for kids and stuff.
I have enjoyed the trolling that's been going on there.
Yeah, and they lost $15 billion off their market cap.
And also, when they moved their pride displays, when they toned it down a bit, that then angered all the sort of LGBTQ out there.
So they couldn't make anybody happy.
Bud Light, of course, was a famous one.
And after more than two decades as America's best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place after just one little sponsorship of Dylan Mulvaney.
Still at second?
Yeah, they're still at second.
But, I mean, this is... They're basically giving the beer away for free right now.
Which, I mean, to be honest, it's awful beer.
It's 3.5%.
It tastes of nothing.
It manages to taste horrible and of nothing at the same time.
And pretty much the most convincing part of Dylan Mulvaney's transition was the fact they were drinking Bud Light.
I don't think it's a particularly manly beer, but it's certainly not seen as it now.
This is like trans water, isn't it?
And again, they've lost, I can't remember how much they've lost off their share price, but it's like, it's in a similar sort of realm.
It's part of a much bigger group, so it's difficult to, yeah.
It's Anheuser-Busch or something, Budved or something like that.
And Wix, most recently we had Wix, the Chief Operating Officer, so they support Pride.
And they were also pushing gender ideology on this call.
This guy on the top right is Fraser Longden.
Brackets he slash him, just in case you're wondering if that was a woman.
And he said that gender critical activists are bigots and weren't welcome in his stores, in Wick's stores.
I mean, this is, it's interesting.
It's supposed to be all about inclusivity and diversity, but not, oh, not if you're, not if you're a gender critical feminist, then you're not welcome.
Not if you have this opinion.
No, no, no.
This is just, this is just for these.
That's not inclusive.
That's excluding people.
I do have mates in trades who regularly go into wicks and I don't think he has fully understood his customer base.
A bit like Bud Light.
Bud Light is for sports bros to drink in the hot sun.
Because it's wicks, you can drink loads of it without falling over.
I'll just get a stronger liver.
They're not like, it's warmer in America though to be fair, like you couldn't drink, actually British people can't drink Stella, they all fall over, but like they're, yeah they're not, you know.
Being like, well, we need more, you know, transgender stuff.
It's like, you know, man, like if you're marketing something to like 14 year old girls or whatever, then Dylan Mulvaney is appropriate because for some reason, you know, they love him or whatever.
But anyway, man, this guy also said 90% of the British public are just slightly ignorant.
I mean, it just shows that the corporate elites are so ignorant.
In their own bubble and so removed from, like you say, the tradesmen and the people who actually spend the money in their stores.
So I think this is going to hit Wex hard and I don't think they've really thought it through.
It's clearly out of disdain for their own customer base.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And yeah, I mean, it's not about diversity, inclusion and equality anymore.
It's explicitly not inclusive.
If you don't support an aspect of it, if you don't, you know, religiously stick to the doctrine of gender ideology, you're smeared as a bigot and you're not welcome.
Even if you're a lesbian, you're thrown off the pride march, you're, you know, turfed out of wicks.
But corporations have to support it to maintain their ESG scores so that they can then get investing.
There's one upside to the Islamification of the West though, so Muslims are kicking back, kicking back against stuff.
So I think we've got, yeah look at this, so in an American city, Hamtramck in Michigan, they elected a Muslim majority council Liberal residents were like, oh my god this is amazing, this is a celebration.
We're the first city in the United States to have a Muslim majority council.
They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of the then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign.
I can guess what's coming.
So this week, many of those same liberal residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning pride flags from being flown on city property that had, like many others being flown around the country, been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ plus community.
So yeah, they invited people in from Yemen and wherever.
And they thought it was wonderful, and then those people became a majority, and then they imposed their values.
And I'm looking forward to this happening on a civilizational level.
To be fair, if I had to pick, I'd go with that.
There's some other... I mean, as long as you kept a close eye on your preteen daughters, you know, it would be a better world, wouldn't it?
Well, that's the thing.
I mean, while, you know, certain A lot of the Muslim world is very sort of conservative, shall we say, too conservative.
Socially conservative, yeah.
Socially conservative on LGBTQ issues.
I mean, it's pretty mildly, to be honest, yeah.
There's things like, you know, and obviously this isn't, you know, across the whole Muslim world, but certain pockets of the Muslim world, you know, we have things like grooming gangs.
We don't have, we don't have the, they don't have the appropriate Western attitudes to women.
Yes.
Which, you know, grooming gangs were actually worse than pretty much anything else that's ever existed.
But yeah, this is Muslim parents with their kids stamping on pride flags.
And I don't think we've got time for it, but there's a recording of a teacher berating pupils who don't believe they can identify as a cat.
Oh, well, why not?
So, I mean, it's just the most ridiculous thing.
If you haven't seen this, you've got to find it.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
So there's a pupil who wanted to identify as a cat and the teacher, you know, some kids are like, well, I'm not, you're not a cat.
And then the teacher's saying, no, people can identify as whatever they like and you're going to have to find a different school if you don't like it.
It's ridiculous.
It is remarkable how polite kids are these days.
When we were at school, if somebody announced they were a cat, I mean...
They would have had a hard time ahead of them.
But so much of this stuff, it's interesting you use the word polite, because so much of this gender ideology stuff, it's like, I want you to refer to me as whatever, a non-binary, or I'm a woman, or whatever, and you're supposed to do it because it's polite and it's the right thing to do.
But when you actually criminalise being impolite, If somebody misgenders me, I don't care.
You know what I mean?
I'm pretty comfortable and confident in my gender.
I'm not sure I'd be misgendered.
I would like somebody to misgender me so I can find out what it's like.
Yeah, no, if somebody calls me a man, I'm not bothered.
You know what I mean?
For me, it's obvious that I'm a woman.
I feel like a woman.
So it doesn't bother me at all.
So I don't know why people are so precious.
So precious about being misgendered.
And you know, we're supposed to accept them for who they say they are.
They couldn't even accept themselves for what they were.
So now they have to be like, you know, ZZ'er or whatever.
It's ridiculous.
I don't think we've got time for this, but this is... Have we got time for this?
Yeah, why not?
Alright, this is Dave Allen, just with a funny little joke.
I was talking to a man the other day who was leaving, decided to immigrate, decided to leave this country.
And I said, why are you leaving?
He said, it's homosexuality.
I said, what are you talking about?
He said, 300 years ago, if you were homosexual, you were hanged, drawn and quartered.
100 years ago, if you were homosexual, you were hanged.
50 years ago, if you were homosexual, you were flogged and given 20 years in prison.
20 years ago, if you were homosexual, You were fined £200 and sent to prison for two years.
Five years ago, if you were homosexual, you got a small fine and you were pardoned.
Got off with a warning.
I said, what are you leaving for?
He said, I'm going before they make it compulsory.
Although, of course, before that happened, they actually found a new way to be homophobic.
Gender ideology is a homophobic religion.
Brilliant.
Should we reminisce about the 90s?
Yeah, let's cheer ourselves up!
Because the world today is so bloody depressing that there's got to be better things that we can talk about.
Before I do, let's have a quick plug for something on the website which I haven't actually watched yet, but the thumbnail says the original gangster, so I'm gonna like it when I get round to that.
Right, okay, so...
There is this meme, obviously, that Zoomers basically don't know anything.
Yeah.
And there's the whole thing about, you know, basically trying to explain basic stuff to Zoomers.
So I thought what I'd do is I'd pick a whole load of examples and then we can have a go at explaining them to Zoomers to basically equip them with the cultural, historical records that they can relate to old people more effectively.
Yeah.
So you picked out a number of examples.
Let's go to the first one, shall we?
That was number one for three weeks in 99 days.
The thing that this doesn't capture, though, is that it never actually went like that.
Because when you got the ka-dunga-dunga-ka-chunga bit, that meant that you were actually connected.
It never actually went like that, did it?
It was always just the kssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Yeah, it was so slow.
Like, I mean, when a picture of a naked woman would download, it would, like, come in chunks like this.
You'd have to, like, get an eyebrow fetish to actually masturbate.
And the worst thing was that it started filling in the picture from the top.
I mean, if it started...
To be fair, your teenage years are peak wank, aren't they?
Women evolved during the 90s to have breasts on top of their heads.
But the thing is, at least if the pitcher loaded from the bottom, you'd have a chance.
The fact that it loaded from the top, you're 15 minutes in and it's like, oh fuck it, Littlewood's catalogue again then.
Yeah, so we had it rough back in those days.
Plus, it blocked out the telephone line, which everyone else in your house wanted, so you were limited to like an hour a day if you were lucky.
So the chances of using it for nefarious purposes were severely limited on.
And also computer games on the Spectrum and stuff, you used to get them on a cassette.
and it would play a noise like that if you played it in a stereo and radio stations would sometimes play like that noise and you could record it onto a cassette and then put it in your computer but then if there was just like one little blip of like interference or whatever it wouldn't it wouldn't work because that would be like a missing downloading a game from the cloud from the radio yes and the thing is those cassettes they used to take like 45 minutes yeah yeah yeah to load a game yeah like pong or something yeah or lawnmower simulator yeah yeah You're right.
Next one.
I love this one.
I'm just going to throw this in because I thought that was... Encarta was the greatest thing that has ever been invented.
Do you remember that?
No, I never had it, but yeah, like, because this is on a CD-ROM, isn't it?
I thought this was fantastic.
So basically, for Zoomers who don't understand, it's because we had the internet, but you couldn't use it for anything because it was too slow.
So we still had to get CDs posted, you know, posted out to you.
And this was like the first sort of computer encyclopedia.
And it's basically just like Wikipedia, except all of the people you know weren't referred to as white supremacists.
And also they didn't have much information.
But I just absolutely loved that, so I had to throw that in there.
The next one.
Do you want to explain the purpose of this shop?
So Woolworths sold pretty much everything.
And also there was pick and mix, which people used to nick, people used to steal the pick and mix.
And it went bust.
But if you go to Australia they still have Woolworths but it's just like a regular supermarket that happens to be called Woolworths.
I don't think there's anything to do with them.
You did a much better job than I did because these were in every high street and they were absolutely massive and it's been at least 15 years since the last one closed down and I still have no clue of explaining what on earth was going on with Woolworths.
Yeah, like a shop that sells basically everything.
It was like Amazon before.
Yeah, or like a really rubbish John Lewis.
Like a John Lewis of stuff you couldn't ever give as a present.
Yes.
But at least the high street had a sort of, you know, a bit of a vibe back then.
Because, you know, back in those days you could end school on a Friday and you could realistically think to yourself, oh, I just see my mates in town.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you couldn't just arrange on the phone.
You didn't have a phone.
Phones were literally tied to the wall.
You didn't carry one in your pocket.
So you had to meet in a recognised place.
And also, if you wanted to buy stuff, you had to go into town to go to the shops.
Because you couldn't just go online and buy stuff.
That's where the stuff was.
Yes, and all your mates and stuff.
Because I mean today, what's the high street today?
I'm going to do something spooky now.
I'm going to picture you, I'm going to picture your high street.
Betting shop.
Yeah.
Betting shop.
Charity shop.
Fried chicken shop.
Tesco Express.
Yep.
Cash-only barbers.
Lots of coffee shops.
Vape shop.
Another betting shop.
A Greg's.
Chicken shop.
Yep.
A phone place that sells stolen phones.
Yeah, and phone covers.
And it's like, man, how are you supporting a business just from selling phone covers?
Who's it like?
Are people coming in every week?
Oh, he's definitely not, like, stolen laptops and phones.
Or laundering money for someone.
So have I just spookily described your town?
You know, I think I probably have.
Another thing that I liked about the 90s was lefties looked like this.
I think Joey was possibly a Republican because he was getting laid.
But the rest of them are definitely, definitely lefties.
And the thing about lefties back then is they were just fine.
- Yeah. - I mean, you could have a conversation with them.
They were right.
And they basically agreed with you about almost everything apart from like one or two things about emphasis on, on, you know, welfare provisions and stuff like that.
- And they wanted to fight, they all wanted to fight, the lefties and the oldies wanted to fight like big corporations.
- Yes. - And the government instead of being like, "Oh no, you've got to do what the government tells you." And the government is bringing through these wonderful hate crime laws that will make everything you say illegal and then you can go to jail.
And corporations are wonderful and you should, look, they're supporting Pride.
So why would you want to, why would you criticise this bank?
Look, it's got the Pride logo on its Twitter.
Yeah, and they were all wishy-washy Greenpeace but didn't actually do anything about it.
Anti-pharmaceutical, anti-big business.
You could live with these people, no problem.
It just wasn't an issue.
In fairness, left-wing people in the 90s were much worse looking than the cast of Friends.
Yes, yes.
But I mean, I picked them because they lived in New York, so they obviously are lefties.
And three of them are women, so it's like double plus definitely lefties.
One of the guys maybe, but yeah, the rest of them is that.
Another thing that people don't understand who are Zoomers today is that, you will relate to, is being bored.
Yeah, yeah.
Nobody's ever, ever bored anyway.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think boredom's essential for creating a healthy mind.
You need times when you're just bored.
Yeah.
You must remember there was long, long periods which was basically consisted of The weekend before going out.
Yeah.
And basically the whole week, apart from Saturday night.
And Sundays and stuff.
Yes, all of Sunday.
And the TV only had like four channels.
Yes.
And there wasn't a lot of choice on those channels and they'd show stuff like Songs of Praise.
Yes.
Or the Antiques Roadshow.
Or Lovejoy.
And you'd actually end up watching it and getting into it because there wasn't any option.
You had to.
You had to.
You had to become there.
Yes.
Interesting.
That said, I did actually quite like Antiques Roadshow.
Yeah.
There's something about it, something magical.
The bit where, like, the middle class people find out how much their thing's worth, but they try and, like, they don't mind, but they're all... Yes.
It's £18,000!
And they always had to guess, didn't they?
Yeah.
There should be some sort of fine system where they guessed.
Because they all guessed too low, didn't they?
Yeah.
There should be some sort of fine system where they guessed too low.
Yeah.
Because, you know, they were trying to be very middle class about it.
They dropped into some gunge.
Yeah.
The gunge as well.
People were always getting dropped into gunge in the 90s.
Yes, I forgot about that.
I can't remember why they did that.
Noel Edmonds' house party.
And he had these things like... Wasn't that the guy who had a kid die in his swimming pool?
No, it was Michael Barrymore.
But Noel Edmonds... Somebody died on Noel Edmonds' show because... Oh, the catapult!
My mate was working on it and he wasn't responsible for this, obviously, but it was a zipline.
So basically this guy was supposed to go down a zipline and the tech guy, the zipline guy, was like, OK, don't go.
I've left someone in the van that fastens you to the thing, so don't go.
So he climbed down.
While he climbed down, the camera guy went up and said okay we're ready to roll go and so the guy went but he didn't have this bit that like you know fastened him to the thing I think this is what happened anyway and yeah he died unfortunately but Noel Edmonds he had this uh Noel's house party he had a thing where they hid cameras in people's living rooms and then you know so somebody was being filmed uh unsuspectingly before you know they sort of burst out and reveal but man They must have caught people wanking.
That's, you know, if you're on your own in the living room and you know there's no chance of anybody coming.
Everybody needs to shuffle to get comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there must be lots of footage that they couldn't use.
We've got more 90s TV, so we will come back to that.
Red phone boxes.
Yeah.
So yeah, not only were phones tied to the wall, but occasionally they were tied to cement.
Yeah.
What I especially liked about these is if you ever went to London as a kid, they would be full of them.
So whenever I used to go to London as a kid, whenever the parents backs would turn, I'd always grab a few of them.
And then I'd take them to school and I had this theory that nobody ever looked at the notice board.
So I'd go round the school, and I'd put them on all the notice boards, and then check to see how long they stayed up, and basically, they'd never got the move.
So I left the school, and they were all still up there.
As far as I know, they're still there.
And these prostitutes, for some reason, they're like, why am I getting all these phone calls from this place?
They're now 65, and they're still getting little Tommy ringing them up.
Why am I so popular with, like, middle-aged teachers, and also teenage boys?
From some little school in Winchester.
I've got a weird phone box story, because back in the day, me and the boys, we come out the pub and it's raining hard, so typical British summer, and we didn't have mobile phones back then, so we all ducked into a phone box to call for a taxi, and then because I grew up in a seaside town where there's a butlin's, basically the situation was, is every so often you'd have a northern family turn up one, I say every so often, all the time, a northern family would turn up and drag their teenage boy with them,
Who was bored as hell by this and wanted to get out and wreak havoc in the town.
So anyway, we stood there huddling in this phone box to get away from the rain.
And the door opens and closes and he's like, oh, that's weird.
Nobody seems to come in.
And then this little voice pipes up and there's a little northerner down there and he's like, do you wanna fight?
No.
Fuck off.
But he didn't.
And, yeah, anyway, so he saw us go into a taxi and then he decided that he was also going to ring a taxi and have a fight with him.
And the way I know this is because our taxi got turned around really sharply and I had to come back and I had to watch this little Northern Eye guy getting beaten up by 15 taxi drivers.
Right.
So, yeah, so fun and japes to be had in phone boxes.
And also they had that thing on, probably this is Noel Edmonds' house party, they had that thing where they kept on every so often trying to get as many people as possible into them.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It was that and Goo, wasn't it?
And Mini.
Yes.
Weird selection.
Right, something else from the 90s.
What's the next one?
Oh, there we go.
Oh, page three!
Yes.
And that was, you know, it was one of the most accessible ways of actually seeing some, like, naked... because it's not like today, like, porn is on every... I'm looking at porn right now!
It's everywhere, it's on every device, you know what I mean?
And yeah, back then it was... It was harder to get hold of, so to help us out they decided to put it in the newspapers.
Yeah.
Which was a nice touch.
Not the Guardian or the Financial Times.
No.
The Sun.
And the Sunday Sport in particular was great for it.
The Sunday Sport sort of had it on multiple pages.
You're right, porn has come on leaps and bounds.
Do you want to explain why we're on this subject, the three minute preview?
The 10-minute preview.
Was that on, um, was it Babe Station or something like that?
Yes.
I never, like, had it, but is this... That was when set-top boxes started to come out.
Set-top boxes, yeah, I never had that.
Towards the end of the 90s.
Yeah.
Right, yeah, you got, um... I think it was either just before midnight or just after, they gave you 10 minutes free of the poor channel.
Yeah.
Which was basically because pubs used to close at 11.
Right.
So it used to be just as you got home.
Right.
After quite a few beers and then it'd be like 10 minutes of that.
Right.
Obviously I never watched it but you know I hear that people would often come back from the pub and that would be like a go-to.
And then people wonder why men don't have lasting power when we've been conditioned to fit it all into 10 minutes.
Well I mean the drinking you had to get all your drinking done by 11.
Yeah.
So you had no choice but to, so you're in that sort of, you know, got to get it done.
So it's very logical that, yeah, that would follow to when you're sat there balancing your kebab in one hand.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, hookup, we should explain how hookup was done because they didn't have the internet back then.
Yeah.
So how was hookup done?
Let's go to the next one.
no oh yeah no sorry i missed a joke right so we it's a good thing that page three is gone because uh if it was still around today um can you imagine what it would only be in broad shoots yeah i mean yeah that is the when civilizations She just won Miss Germany by the way.
When civilisations die they sort of destroy themselves, they self-harm, they uglify themselves.
So now you're seeing Calvin Klein adverts as well.
I'm certain it was a joke.
It looks like the fat guy from Boogie Nights, like belly popping out.
Like it makes his top like a crop top.
It's just disgusting.
It probably is a real Calvin Klein advert.
It is a real Calvin Klein advert.
I checked it and it's on their website.
Oh really?
I couldn't, it blew my mind.
I couldn't believe.
Adverts are supposed to be aspirational.
It's like, look at Marky Mark's six pack.
Well, maybe one day I could get, if I worked out like Marky Mark and I got his genetics somehow, I could have a six pack like that as well.
Now it's like some fact, it's like, I'd actually have to be worse.
I'd have to be worse to be a Calvin Klein model.
Yes.
It's not good.
It's disgusting.
Right, next link because I, I, I, I, I'm, yeah, okay, so this is, this is basically, explain to Zoom, this is how we used to get dates back in the 90s.
So basically what would happen is this woman, Cilla Black, she hosted this show called Blind Date.
Yeah.
And you, you get like three lads and then there'd be like a girl on the other side of a divider.
Yeah.
Who would ask questions and the three lads would have to answer it and then they'd swap and there'd be like one lad and three girls and that's, that's how you used to get dates And basically, the whole premise of this show is every single answer to every single question was an innuendo.
And when the lads were answering, every single answer was a penis-size innuendo, and when the girls were answering, every single answer was a blowjob innuendo.
And it was basically that every Sunday night for half an hour for like the whole 90s.
And people found it hilarious every single time.
It was a good show.
You know what, I think Take Me Out is actually a bit better.
It improved on the format.
Take Me Out with Paddy McGinnis.
Have you not seen Take Me Out?
No.
I think it's still on TV.
It's great but they have like there's like 30 of them and the girls and the bloke comes down and then they all like pew pew pew pew pew like put their lights out if they're not interested and man it's just it's brutal but also Blind Date was really scripted and clunky whereas Take Me Out is authentic.
You get authentic weird stuff coming out of the girls mouths.
I've missed that.
I'm gonna have to check that out.
It's really fun.
Right last one.
Play this.
Let's do it without sound.
Oh, drugs as well.
Yes.
Well, I was basically thinking of nightclubs.
Right.
And that whole scene.
Because apparently, like Zoomers, they don't go out anymore.
They don't take drugs.
Or the drugs that they take are rubbish.
Like cat food.
No, cat.
What is it?
Plant food.
MCAT.
What's this?
All the drugs they take are like rubbish drugs.
Right.
Whereas we had like proper big Mitsubishis.
Big pupils.
Just banging away.
Oh no, it's not affecting me.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
And Microdots as well.
I don't want to get this taken off YouTube, but I don't know if Microdots are still around, but they were such amazing value for money, which is what you need when you're 15, you know what I mean?
Microdots are like the size of the head of a pin.
So one of your mates would always drop his on the floor and then have to like spend the rest of the night on his hands and knees just looking for this tiny thing.
So you'd basically be hallucinating watching your mate over the course of three hours watching you eat 47 mouse shits.
It was just, it was amazing.
So that wasn't actually where I was going to go with this.
I was actually going to talk about the whole dancing thing and memorising phone numbers and drinking up by 11.
But no, you make a very good point there.
Were you a good dancer, Leo?
When I had some drugs.
I don't think Scottish white men can dance without them.
So I remember when I was about 17, because the other thing is back then is they didn't check IDs that well, so as long as you were tall you basically started going to nightclubs when you were about 15 or something.
So I'm in this nightclub and get dragged out onto the floor by this girl when it was still filling up, when the lights were still on, and I was sort of made to dance.
And after that, I had three completely separate people come up to me who just felt the need to say, mate, you are a really, really shit dancer.
You are so bad.
And by the time the third one was walking up to me, he was like, yeah, yeah, I know.
Anyway, so basically, since then, I have not even tapped my feet to a catchy commercial.
Yeah, it's the safest way to be.
Yeah.
I just basically got into that thing that, you know, if you're a shit dancer, you just perfected your lean.
Yeah.
On the side of it.
I got really good at leaning.
I feel like as a man dancing, the less you do, the better.
So yeah, just like, you know, moving a little bit, you'll look alright.
If you try and like really do it, you're not gonna look like the guy from Boney M. No, yeah, that's not gonna work.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we basically, we had to do this.
But yeah, I don't think the Zoomers go out at all.
I think they just order their sex on the app thing, don't they?
Yeah.
Which probably explains why there's like 5% of the guys... Listen, we had to go out and actually chat girls up.
Yes.
And there's risk, there's risk, but there's great...
reward you know what i mean but like man like going in actually it's a scary thing yeah going like talking to get your skills up but yeah you get you get your skill and it's like that sort of um you know it's like a sort of like a rite of passage or something to become a man you've got to go and like be humiliated in front of a room full of people yeah i mean i i did particularly bad because in my teenage years i was i was hit by the acne really bad so i mean my face looked like um i don't know
Appalachians Mountains, if they're on fire, or, you know, actually what it looked like is it looked like I had basically barged into the Wuhan lab of virology and just face-butted the display cabinet.
Yeah, yeah.
So, I mean, and so if you imagine having to be a skinny 17 year old with a face like that, the level of chat that you need is, I mean, it is, you know, hardcore difficulty level.
And I think it's once you've got those skills, once you sort of sort yourself out a bit later in life, you know, you've got that.
But, you know, what skills do Zoomers have?
It's basically just doing the swipey thing.
And also because the men are now all, like, you know, oestrogenised and don't chat.
They've got no, like, bravery to go and chat a girl up.
So then if they see anybody, if they see any, like, a red-blooded male, A right-wing red-blooded male going and chatting a girl.
They're like, oh my god, that's assault, that's harassment.
Oh, we must ban it.
The only way anybody can procreate is by saying they're non-binary genderqueer and going on this app.
One of the guys in the office, I won't call him out, but one of the guys in the office said, just unbidden the other day, that it was completely cringe when you just went up and spoke to a girl in the street.
No, it's not.
That's just normal.
Yeah, that's tradition.
Yes.
I mean, what are you supposed to do if it's like Sunday and you haven't got a date that night?
I mean, we didn't have apps.
Yeah.
But yeah, no, I think they're getting lazy.
And also, they didn't have to memorise numbers either.
Yeah.
So I think they're falling down on many fronts.
And when you phoned up the girl, her dad would answer.
Yes.
And you'd have to run that gauntlet.
Yes.
The thing is, now we are dead.
Oh, actually, no, it doesn't matter now that we're dead, because it's going to bypass us completely, isn't it?
It's going to go via the phone.
Right.
So, yes, 90s were better in every respect, and, you know, there you go.
And if you are old, you know, consider that as a trip down memory lane.
Right.
I haven't got time for about three comments.
OK.
Maybe a few more.
Right.
I like to examine the underlying evidence of a lot of broadly held social notions.
For example, the idea that country clubs have all these rules against Jews or Blacks joining them, and if you actually look at any of the cases, there was no such rules in place ever.
This isn't to say that there weren't some biases in who was being invited to these country clubs, but it is interesting how a lot of the publicly held liberal ideas of oppression would be considered conspiracy theories if they were presented by the right with the evidence that was available.
Yeah, so much of the things that we're asked to believe, lived experience, and all these euphemisms for, this is just what I'm saying, this is my opinion, and we're asked to believe it as if it's absolute, you know, gospel truth.
And not only is it, the fact that it's, so inauthentic and flimsy actually makes it harder to attack they say oh but that's you're hurting my personal lived experience my you know and also they have to make the past sound worse so that people don't realize what's been taken from them yeah and also everything focuses on the past because Doing stuff in the present.
There's more slavery in the world now than there was at the height of the transatlantic slave trade.
But it's not being done by pale, stale males in Britain.
It's being done in China.
It's being done in the Middle East.
It's being done in Africa.
So it's more problematic for them to actually tackle.
So they don't.
Instead they focus on stuff that ended a long time ago.
Let's hear about pirates.
William Mariner, he was a privateer during the Revolutionary War.
Him and his men attacked the British up and down the Jersey coast.
Then one night in 1780, him and nine of his men snuck aboard the Black Snake.
And while the crew was sleeping, they cut the moors and captured the entire ship.
Then as luck would have it, they ran into a second ship.
The captain, unawares that they could not man all their cannons, Surrendered immediately rather than face a suicide.
Two ships he captured in one night.
Amazing.
What a scallywag.
Yeah!
What a scallywag.
Do you hear about the billionaire that's gone missing in the submarine?
Probably not a million miles away from there.
Stuck in the Titanic or something.
Yeah, took one of the submersibles down to the Titanic.
They can probably go down and see the pirate ships that he's talking about as well.
That'd be fun.
Get some doubloons.
I hope they come back up.
Hey guys, I'm watching the 1993 Mario Brothers movie right now.
You guys really need to do a review of it.
It's amazing how prescient it was about the future of New York.
You can't arrest a guy that just singing a song.
We're anti-Koopa songs we can.
He goes on.
Fascist!
Oppressor of the proletariat!
Get up, sucker!
You are a fat!
You're a spider-man!
Can you tell me where I am?
Yeah, you're in my way!
Seriously, it is uncanny.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
I mean, I didn't know Super Mario Brothers was that... I'm going to go back and watch that now.
I think we're out of time, so I'm going to skim through only the top comments.
Baystape says... Oh, he's talking about the fact that I normally practice safe boating practices with a life preserver on this, and he quite likes this.
I'm coming back as Dan the White.
Return on this.
So thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Ape.
Genie Carrera says that Leo and Dan is now her new favorite duo.
That is a very reasonable and honest comment.
Thank you for that.
And Ziggy says, good to have Leo back again.
Hope life is treating you and your kid well.
Thank you.
Yeah, no, it's great.
Love it.
Brilliant.
Well, thanks very much, everybody.
And see you tomorrow.
Bye.
