=== Liz's Surgery Update (04:57) ===

[00:00:01]  Welcome to the BBC World Service.
[00:00:03]  My name is the Honorable Nonce Dencil Featherbrig, live from Windsor Primary, reporting on news coming out of Poddington Palace in Brooklyn, New York.
[00:00:11]  Liz Franczak, Princess of Truannon and Queen of the Poles, is currently undergoing undisclosed minor abdominal surgery.
[00:00:19]  She will be back in three years' time, and may she rest in peace.
[00:00:45]  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to True or Not.
[00:00:50]  I don't even know what I'm doing right now.
[00:00:51]  This is, I am, I got to tell you, I have several times in my life been stranded, lost, out to sea without a paddle, no wind in my sails.
[00:01:03]  And often I've been wondering if the problem is me.
[00:01:07]  And the problem, it turns out, is me, because with Liz gone, I am bereft.
[00:01:11]  I don't know what to do with myself.
[00:01:13]  My name is Brace Belden.
[00:01:17]  My name is Liz Francak.
[00:01:19]  We're, of course, joined by producer Young Chomsky.
[00:01:22]  And the podcast is called, and right now, Uba, is where I would, I would, I would pause for a second, and then Liz would fill in the word Truanon, but she is.
[00:01:31]  Yeah, you're incomplete.
[00:01:32]  She's no longer with us.
[00:01:34]  And so it's just like, I don't know, it's just, thank you for coming today.
[00:01:39]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:01:39]  But like, it's crazy you think you can fill her shoes.
[00:01:44]  Yeah.
[00:01:45]  I mean, I didn't even know I was recording a podcast today.
[00:01:48]  You just told me to meet you for coffee.
[00:01:50]  Now, I don't know why I'm doing it.
[00:01:52]  I am coffee.
[00:01:54]  We shared.
[00:01:54]  I had three sips of a Red Bull and then you made me wear your shoes.
[00:02:00]  I don't know why.
[00:02:01]  It's because they've looked good on you.
[00:02:02]  And sorry.
[00:02:03]  You look good in pumps.
[00:02:05]  Ladies and gentlemen, this episode is going to be a little different than usual.
[00:02:09]  Liz is not with us.
[00:02:11]  And the boys can play.
[00:02:13]  We are all in here shirtless and I got to tell you, blindingly shiny with various oils that we rubbed all over.
[00:02:21]  Yeah.
[00:02:21]  I mean, I stopped at the CVS on the way.
[00:02:24]  Yes.
[00:02:25]  You had a long list.
[00:02:27]  Why the Anuca?
[00:02:29]  Well, I just figured it was spice.
[00:02:30]  What's Anuka?
[00:02:32]  It's Psycho.
[00:02:33]  It's the Festival of Lights.
[00:02:35]  Yeah, it's an inflammatory that hits.
[00:02:37]  She drove all of us out of Britain.
[00:02:38]  Yeah.
[00:02:39]  Because of the protests.
[00:02:42]  No, no, no, no.
[00:02:44]  We have with us today Uba Butler, a funky name freak from London, England.
[00:02:50]  Hello.
[00:02:51]  And it's going to be a little bit – listen, this episode is going to be a little bit different.
[00:02:55]  We are going to – Uba is a prankster, frankly.
[00:02:59]  I would feel like that would be your job title professionally.
[00:03:02]  Jester, yeah.
[00:03:04]  A jester of sorts.
[00:03:05]  And we're going to go through a couple of things.
[00:03:07]  First, I am going to rebut Joe Biden, the President of the United States State of the Union address.
[00:03:14]  And then we're going to talk a little bit about pranking in general and lying to people for a living.
[00:03:20]  And no, he's not going to interview me about being a damn podcaster.
[00:03:24]  Uba, real quick, to this is also, this is going to be a different episode than usual.
[00:03:29]  We're going to structure this a little bit differently.
[00:03:30]  But Uba, real quick, are you familiar with the State of the Union?
[00:03:35]  Do you guys have this?
[00:03:36]  No.
[00:03:37]  Wait, yeah, we have the opening day of Parliament when Blackrod comes out and they do all that stuff.
[00:03:43]  What the fuck is Blackrod?
[00:03:44]  He's a knowledge of this is so the monarch opens Parliament.
[00:03:54]  Yeah.
[00:03:55]  And there's this, it's, I can't, what is it exactly Black Rod?
[00:03:58]  It's like this kind of sour-faced person comes out with a black rod and it oh, it's a job.
[00:04:04]  Yeah, yeah, it's like a thing.
[00:04:06]  It's a tradition.
[00:04:07]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:04:08]  You guys love the scepters.
[00:04:09]  We love scepters.
[00:04:10]  So strange.
[00:04:11]  I was in a, yeah, I mean, this is all over the place, but I was in a place the other night and a guy with a gut with a diamond-encrusted scepter started getting angry with me.
[00:04:21]  Well, do you have like a one of your own or a diamond-encrusted scepter?
[00:04:25]  No, just any kind of scepter.
[00:04:27]  No.
[00:04:28]  Well, that's the thing is like, no, I don't have one, but I don't need one in my line of work.
[00:04:32]  And so I figure like the thing is, if somebody comes, that's a symbol of power.
[00:04:36]  And like for me, in the business that I'm in, the media, the symbol of power is this thing right here, my brother.
[00:04:43]  Big motherfucking Jewish nose.
[00:04:45]  Not that you guys have any in England anymore.
[00:04:47]  I read the damn Daily Mail.
[00:04:48]  You drove them out.
[00:04:49]  But no, that's, I would have to just like if someone came over with a scepter and commanded me to do something, I guess I just have to do it.
[00:04:56]  I would be an incredible peasant.
[00:04:58]  Yeah.
