The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1081

00:00:00.000 hello and welcome everybody to the podcast of the lotus eaters episode 1081 i'm your host harry

00:00:15.320 joined today by carl and stelios hello and we're going to be talking about why certain people are

00:00:22.080 even here we're going to be talking about a brad pitt scam where he desperately needs my money which

00:00:27.580 i'm very interested to learn about and i have enough money of his own well you never know

00:00:31.660 keanu reeves need your money and keanu reeves as well i mean keanu reeves at least looks destitute

00:00:37.100 half the time um here's the dignity to look destitute yeah and i will be paying personal

00:00:42.740 tribute to the recently departed david lynch my favorite filmmaker uh but before we get into any

00:00:48.640 of that we have a live stream coming up on monday at four o'clock what will this be running from four

00:00:55.180 till eight something like that yeah something something like that talking about the uh donald

00:00:59.880 trump 47th presidential inauguration where we'll just be observing it yeah and talking about the

00:01:05.560 reaction and you know it'll be a chill one it'll be fun i think it'd be fun yeah and unless we've got

00:01:11.120 anything else to say chaps i think we should get to the news so one of the questions that i frequently

00:01:17.360 have to ask myself about just the people in england is why are they here uh most of the people in england

00:01:22.800 probably belong here but there are loads of people who obviously don't and you say okay but what was

00:01:27.540 the reason for bringing them here why did they come like you know like stelios has a job he can

00:01:32.240 he can contributes to the country stelios is fine to be here i flew here as well and you didn't come

00:01:38.360 here on a boat and he's a nice guy yeah thank you and he's a well-wisher of of britain there are lots

00:01:44.560 of people here who aren't that way and you've just got to myself so why are they here why have they been

00:01:49.720 brought here against our wishes but before we go on we have brought back the trump merch in the

00:01:55.420 merch store because uh people are asking for it and because of course trump's inauguration is on

00:01:59.460 monday that we're going to be live streaming to come and join us for that and go and get some trump

00:02:03.140 merch in the meantime so let's begin with uh reform's position on immigration which apparently for the

00:02:11.080 uh welsh reform spokesman has been very positive well wales has had really really very limited levels

00:02:17.920 of immigration um and the immigration we have had arguably uh has been very positive for economy

00:02:22.860 so immigration is much less of a factor in politics in wales than it is say in in england

00:02:27.640 yeah notice how he has to phrase this well we've had a lot less immigration in wales

00:02:33.720 as in there are far fewer immigrants in wales and therefore we can you know the ones we have

00:02:38.920 are better and higher quality than the ones that england has taken in their millions for some reason

00:02:44.740 because of course not all immigrants are the same we use the category of immigrant but actually what

00:02:48.700 we're describing is a multiplicity of different peoples from all over the world of all different

00:02:53.040 skill levels and we have been completely undiscerning in the kind of people that we have brought to this

00:03:00.720 country um i mean there are definite individuals who have not been beneficial towards wales as you can

00:03:09.300 see pictured here the average welshman uh just a quick thing on this the attorney general has issued

00:03:14.760 a warning to media so that's us and everyone else about covering the uh axel rudikabana case so i'm not

00:03:22.660 going to basically because i that's interesting i don't want the politicized attorney general again i

00:03:28.220 assume this is a warning against things like speculation of motives yeah anything uh i mean literally

00:03:34.640 you you may be at risk of being in contempt of court if you publish material or comment online

00:03:38.880 that is inaccurate unfair or involves discussion or commentary which could influence the jury's

00:03:44.200 decisions it's like well isn't that anything on the jury are the jury not going to be sequestered

00:03:49.220 away that's american oh do we not do that we sequestered the entire country ah okay that makes far

00:03:54.900 more sense uh yeah yeah it's so much more sensible not to sequester the jury um it's one of those things

00:04:00.780 the americans actually do do way better than we do um but anyway the point being i can't talk about

00:04:05.940 the average welshman here so let's move on to england um how about a rapist who is too dangerous

00:04:13.520 uh whose country of origin is too dangerous so he can't be deported back there the question i would

00:04:19.420 ask is why are we importing anyone from there if this country is too dangerous to send people to 0.94

00:04:25.560 why are we importing people from this area he's a rapist why do we care about his well-being in the

00:04:32.100 first place that's the the first and most obvious question but the the reason is quote-unquote human

00:04:38.060 rights harry i think oh oh yeah those those things yes those things that this guy definitely cares about

00:04:44.740 so very much um so this is a jamaica man who uh raped a sleeping woman and he's been it's been decided 0.92

00:04:51.360 by a high court that he can't be sent back because he's bisexual apparently and jamaica is a homophobic 0.88

00:04:58.700 country is this like how in my generation there are lots of guys who say that they're bisexual but

00:05:03.960 have only ever been with women uh no actually this you don't actually have to prove it this person

00:05:09.240 claims to have a history with men but again what are they going to do to prove it i mean

00:05:12.340 i mean they would find a an excuse regardless even if it wasn't about sexuality they found they have 0.89

00:05:21.320 found worse excuses i mean he's a rapist so who knows if he goes back to jamaica he might be 0.98

00:05:26.720 persecuted for that as well maybe and we're britain god damn it we stand against the persecution of 0.99

00:05:32.740 rapists that's as a country not me unironically what has happened here uh weirdly enough the home

00:05:39.540 office is on the right wing side of this where it's like the home office like well we make no

00:05:43.480 apology for trying to get rid of this guy and it's like oh wow i can't believe the home office did

00:05:47.340 something right for once right but an upper tribunal judge has rejected arguments by home office lawyers

00:05:53.000 that the man remains a danger to the community he's just a convicted rapist bro how's he a danger

00:05:58.220 to the community rapists don't go on to rape anybody else afterwards recidivism in the rapist 0.77

00:06:03.680 community i doubt it once it's out of their system you know it's fine but it gets worse actually i know

00:06:10.180 i'm laughing but this is just generally an insufferable right so the judge who ruled against

00:06:14.740 deporting this guy was a woman named melissa canavan and noted that the man known only as aa

00:06:20.500 they did that on purpose i'm sure they did that on purpose i i i don't think he's he's from wales uh

00:06:30.200 this this particular person is not actually a welshman unlike the previous one or even persian

00:06:35.160 or persian yeah he's he's jamaican so just coincidence i'm sure uh but he was is he ethnically

00:06:40.980 jamaican though yes or does he just come from jamaica no i think having a citizenship i think

00:06:46.840 he's ethnically jamaican okay uh but um he uh he in 2018 he was convicted of raping a woman who was

00:06:54.920 asleep and drunk at a party uh and uh he said at the time that he claimed he did not know that having 0.58

00:07:01.120 sex with someone who was sleeping was rape or she was passed out from alcohol and uh he just didn't

00:07:05.680 know just didn't know it was a mistake yeah the lawyer told him to say this yeah well obviously 0.70

00:07:11.700 yeah but uh you know the the the preposterousness of the defense is just like come on come on like

00:07:19.240 no one believes this right and uh the he had apparently quote learned from attending a victim

00:07:25.780 awareness course and now has a greater understanding of issues surrounding consent and vulnerability oh so

00:07:31.200 we did teach someone not to rape apparently he apparently did he and he's he's promised that he

00:07:36.160 won't do it again i'm not even joking i mean after sitting for microaggression session that raises

00:07:48.040 one's credibility doesn't it yeah yeah uh sorry did he give the judge a pinky promise or something well

00:07:53.240 i mean it was a pinky promise he gave his word yeah the the upper court ruling uh said that it accepted

00:07:58.840 that the offender understood the life-changing nature of the offense he'd committed to the victim

00:08:02.500 and he had learned a greater understanding of issues surrounding consent and vulnerability

00:08:06.640 but the ruling did also say that while the offender quote had expressed a great deal of remorse for the

00:08:12.240 offense most of his regret appeared to be for the fact that it led to him being imprisoned that he was

00:08:17.180 caught yes that's literally it of course why is he still in our country well the answer is because

00:08:24.580 uh he had been involved in an lgbtq plus i i plus relationship in jamaica with a man and anti-gay

00:08:35.580 attitudes in jamaica made it quote reasonably likely that the offender quote would face similar treatment

00:08:41.940 to the behavior he had suffered in the past where he returned i mean this is where he's a gay refugee 0.88

00:08:48.820 this is nightmarish because usually you know you want a society that creates as many obstacles to

00:08:55.320 crime as possible you would think yeah so you would think that if people from areas like that

00:09:02.040 were to commit a crime they would think twice now for some reason they don't think twice i mean

00:09:08.020 personally i'm for flogging and deporting but you know i mean at the end of the day he did say

00:09:12.760 that he understood that this was bad for the victim and he's sorry because he doesn't want to go to jail

00:09:17.020 again yeah so you got the certificate from the macroaggression yeah and this was good enough for

00:09:22.680 judge melissa canavan uh so it's good enough for the rest of us obviously because obviously we trust

00:09:27.500 our judges and like we said there's there's hardly uh a likelihood of recidivism for example uh i mean

00:09:33.980 there is the fact that foreign criminals are really likely to recommit a crime uh over the past four

00:09:40.780 years 537 foreign criminals have committed 10 or more offenses and 1260 have committed

00:09:46.920 between six and nine offenses so they're already criminals and they're still committing offenses

00:09:51.480 another 10 000 have committed between one and five offenses bringing the total number of foreign

00:09:57.640 re-offenders to 11 890 when you in four years when you deal with ideologues it's never about individual

00:10:05.960 responsibility the left will always make it an issue of the prison system not working well yeah of course

00:10:11.960 they expand it into the systemic issue with society which is somehow the reason um but uh and

00:10:19.160 separate figures show that foreign offenders who had avoided deportation committed 10 000 offenses

00:10:23.560 in a single year and that a quarter of them had re-offended after being released from jail and 0.98

00:10:28.200 remaining in the uk so i'm sure there's nothing to worry about with that jamaican rapist sure 1.00

00:10:35.240 everything's going to be fine but i mean things aren't exactly any better in other countries don't

00:10:38.920 then think that it's just our country for example in the netherlands there was a woman a homeless

00:10:43.800 woman sat on a bench and four unaccompanied child migrants decided to drag her off into the bushes and 1.00

00:10:51.720 gang rape her and beat her mercilessly which is awful and again i'm personally for just corporal punishment

00:11:00.440 in these circumstances uh but the attackers between the age of 16 and 18 allegedly and they were found

00:11:07.400 guilty of the assault that took place last year and uh the the court ruled that the perpetrators

00:11:12.040 quote described as unaccompanied foreign minors needed guidance on how to function in dutch society

00:11:18.440 which resulted in lighter sentences than the two years demanded by prosecutors so the prosecutors

00:11:23.320 were like could we at least put them in jail for two years and they were like no they don't know

00:11:27.080 how to function in society it's like look they as predators saw a woman alone on a bench beat her 0.99

00:11:33.640 dragged her into the bushes and raped her it's like sorry this isn't about like oh they just don't

00:11:39.000 need need guidance on how to integrate dutch society when you have a background that gives you an 0.92

00:11:45.400 upbringing that suggests that this isn't a thing that you never do you have a problem and it's not

00:11:52.520 not in society has a problem it's it's not even that well i mean it is that but like imagine what they

00:11:57.320 what kind of influence they have been exposed to culturally speaking but it's also there's a kind of

00:12:03.320 dismissive predatory attitude where it's just like okay there are four of us why don't we just rape 0.98

00:12:08.200 this woman who can't stop us and so they they beat this woman dragged her into the bus raped her 1.00

00:12:13.960 stole her mobile phone and the verdict took into account what the court described as quite a lack

00:12:18.360 of supervision and guidance offered to the perpetrators it's like um no i i don't think it's

00:12:23.960 actually the society's problem for providing them with insufficient guidance i think the problem is a

00:12:29.400 lack of pain right i think these young men are not afraid of having pain inflicted on them and i

00:12:34.760 think that's why they're doing what they're doing i think if the looming threat of unbelievable amounts

00:12:39.000 of pain were looming over the head they wouldn't do these things because they'd be like oh god no

00:12:43.000 yeah you can persuade some people but only some people not everyone only only people who care about

00:12:48.040 your rational arguments as to why we should know one another okay understand them i mean my can

00:12:53.000 understand my segment yesterday was uh the case in in um in the netherlands where somebody murdered

00:12:59.800 somebody and they got less time than they otherwise would have because they were low iq yes because 0.99

00:13:05.800 that's apparently a mitigating circus as well they were too stupid to understand that murdering people 0.99

00:13:10.200 is bad so we give them less time in prison they need some sort of corrective to make them understand 1.00

00:13:18.040 that that's wrong and if you can't understand an argument well it has to be then something physical

00:13:23.080 frankly that's how i feel about it um and so uh they they got very very light sentences 15 months

00:13:31.800 three months of which being conditional which the judge indicated with intended to deter the teenagers

00:13:37.320 from reoffending i'm sure they won't i'm sure they've changed their ways i'm sure this has been

00:13:42.280 a complete rehabilitation they're also collectively have to pay a 15 000 euros which i'm sure completely

00:13:47.560 makes up for it anyway so moving on to back to britain let's talk about the administratively british

00:13:52.600 people maddie zaydan here posted yesterday i became british i thought the ceremony would be

00:13:59.000 nationalistic and a bit cringe get out get out get out get out until the lord mayor of brighton

00:14:05.400 started his speech with alas samu lakum

00:14:10.760 very british totally naturalized bro how integrated also very ungrammatical sure but it's

00:14:18.680 just come on we are a joke and we are such a joke that going back to the reform guys yeah immigration 0.93

00:14:24.440 has been great well nigel thinks not you know even nigel was like look everything british is being 0.91

00:14:29.720 trashed and that's true this is not british this is in the sort of foreign occupation of our country

00:14:34.200 and i'm actually tired of it uh so uh the world's greatest roving reporter cunny druckper uh went to

00:14:39.960 luton recently and i thought we would just have a quick look at i saw a bit of this yeah the fruits

00:14:45.960 of this so i mean just i like that islam travels yep we wish it didn't yeah exactly much to everyone's

00:14:54.360 chagrin city queen's cosmetics it's just a beautiful place because luton uh in the 2021 census was 33

00:15:05.160 english and this of course is not uh located in the town center um so you've got just horrific horrific

00:15:13.240 scenes frankly of just an incredibly run down essentially occupied town it's just like what

00:15:20.760 what is going on when if i was in charge look at these flags these kinds of even more so than the

00:15:26.920 fact that is obviously a foreign shop and um flying foreign flags just these kinds of aesthetics will

00:15:33.800 be banned yeah because they look hideous and it's really upsetting me to see in market towns across

00:15:41.160 the country now this sort of thing start to pop up where for instance you'll get a chinese nail salon

00:15:46.600 down this lovely say tudor tudor road where they've just stuck on a load of bright flashing

00:15:52.920 neon lights on the outside it's disgusting yeah i absolutely hate it our towns and cities should be

00:15:57.560 beautiful or they could look like this i mean i guess it's the choice we've made just i love pound

00:16:04.840 shops will have to go yeah next to the center war memorial just you know here's the english dead of

00:16:10.200 luton who fought in the world wars and surrounding them are people who were not here at that time

00:16:17.320 and don't have any connection to the past of this country and don't care yeah do you think these

00:16:21.960 monuments will stay up if we become an absolute minority in our own country thank god they've 1.00

00:16:26.360 got the pride barrier the pride handrail there though amazing just just remittance shops they're

00:16:35.800 always fun oh yeah well you gotta send money home obviously you can't keep money in this country

00:16:40.040 but uh the the uk aesthetics is just ah it's just foul it's what a depressing i like i like the point

00:16:47.400 that he made in that one if you scroll back up again all of these dessert shops and bars that are

00:16:53.000 starting to pop up all over the place like the most um ubiquitous one is what is um i forgot what

00:16:58.760 at casper's yeah they pop up all over the place one their desserts tend to be terrible they're not

00:17:03.960 very i've never actually been in one i i've been dragged into one or two by some friends of mine

00:17:08.200 they tend to not actually be very nice and they are always just filled with foreigners yeah because 1.00

00:17:12.680 they don't go to pubs and we know they don't go to pubs because i mean there's the old red lion 0.88

00:17:16.280 there no that's closed don't worry about that fantastic yeah just wonderful just the the bleakness

00:17:23.560 of modern luton it's just like why are we doing this why are we bringing and again it's not any

00:17:28.440 one group of people it's people from literally everywhere like david atherton here it's like oh

00:17:33.480 we've got an iconic image of romanians grilling a sheet well just sat around having like a sheep 1.00

00:17:43.160 barbecue just why are these people here why are you filming this yeah why are you streaming this 0.76

00:17:49.800 like just these disgusting like gross romanians with like look there's a like nine-year-old kid 1.00

00:17:55.160 with a bottle of beer sorry what what are we doing like why are these people in our country 0.99

00:18:01.800 they have they're romanians yes i am sure they're romanians because v messaged me going ah these are my

00:18:07.480 people hahaha absolutely romanians have some interesting phenotypes that don't all match up with one 1.00

00:18:14.840 another that is that is true because v does not look like the same kind of romanian as these ones

00:18:19.960 no he doesn't um but like these are yeah no these these are romanian peasants right so what the these

00:18:27.720 are romanians rural romanian peasants and what they're doing is a romanian tradition because what

00:18:32.440 they normally have are houses separate detached houses in the countryside there are fences around them

00:18:37.880 right so normally when they're roasting these sheep they're not roasting them in public they're

00:18:41.960 actually doing it as sort of a backyard barbecue but this is a tradition at the in christmas in

00:18:47.000 they could have done this in their back garden unless the back garden they probably don't they

00:18:50.760 probably tiny front garden exactly they probably don't have a back garden right and so they're just

00:18:54.760 doing it in the street and this this was reported on by like romanian news again it's not the same one

00:18:59.080 but there's something that romanians keep doing because everyone's just like what um and so they're 0.58

00:19:04.680 just like yeah well i mean you know this is an ancient tradition that they have uh at christmas the

00:19:09.720 pig slaughtering ceremony blah blah and then whatever you know not just pigs but but okay

00:19:13.960 but why i mean they literally say this is a custom from our ancestors and it's preserved today especially

00:19:21.400 in rural areas so why did we import a bunch of romanian peasants what's that doing for the gdp is 1.00

00:19:27.480 romanian peasants growing the british gdp because that's the argument we are constantly that is constantly

00:19:34.280 made to us it's like oh these people are here to grow the economy well that's obviously not true

00:19:38.920 like romanian peasants fail to grow the romanian bloody economy and things i'm not even being 0.72

00:19:43.240 judgmental go be a romanian peasant in romania that's great i'm glad you're happy i don't

00:19:47.400 doubt that hog roast you know christmas is actually a really nice thing over there you know why are you

00:19:52.440 here why are you occupying our streets and just in case anyone's wondering uh the dutch also did a study 0.51

00:19:58.920 on whether migrants are net contributors and it's going to shock you to learn that basically if they're not

00:20:04.840 from western europe there's just no point right like north america uk france italy and spain germany

00:20:10.840 surprisingly low down on their germany we're getting the lazy germans right but generally sort of

00:20:16.280 westerns they are technically you know they they not very much but they are an overall net benefit

00:20:23.400 and then you get to sort of romania lithuania china poland where it's kind of no not really

00:20:28.040 and then it just goes really downhill after that but there's no point importing a single person from the

00:20:33.960 middle east or from africa at least economically right let's not speak anything of the bloody

00:20:40.600 cultural vandalism that we're doing to our own country why have we got romanians cooking meat on 1.00

00:20:47.880 the streets why do we have luten filled with middle east why do we have subcontinentals in the peak

00:20:53.480 district grilling bam yeah exactly these people are not doing what we thought they were going to do and

00:21:00.040 they are just coming here they're like yeah i'm going to bring my old peasant traditions from the old

00:21:03.640 country of course they are i think some people knew they'd do this yeah probably but um but the

00:21:09.160 point being there's no need for them to be here they're not actually contributing to british society

00:21:14.120 or british life or the british economy they're just occupying space until we send them home so maybe we

00:21:19.480 should repatriate some of these people all right do you want to read through some of the rumble rants

00:21:26.520 that we've got because we've got quite a few for those already yeah well a lot of people agree i think

00:21:30.920 yeah dragon lady chris says uh hey lads last week i mentioned i'd received the under you sent to

00:21:35.160 replace the one i didn't get from the distributor guess what it finally came yesterday yep the one

00:21:39.000 from the dispute sorry about it's fine you don't need to apologize for that it's our fault that we

00:21:43.960 chose that distributor i mean they they were fine the first time i don't know and a lot of people have

00:21:47.800 been saying that they're just getting their the islanders now because it's not like i said we sent them

00:21:53.160 um the distributor screwed us around and i guess they must have like found a box or something in the

00:21:57.720 warehouse that they hadn't sent maybe i don't know you know they've been very opaque um but i'm glad

00:22:02.920 you're getting them it's fine keep the second one obviously don't worry about it it's on us

00:22:06.520 um thank you for ordering it and the new one will be ready uh you know in a couple of weeks actually

00:22:11.560 it's looking great it is looking gorgeous uh i will i will do a a little promo for it to explain what's

00:22:17.960 in it because we've worked really hard on this one and there's something very special in it and i'm not

00:22:21.480 going to spoil it uh bobabad says uh the judge ironically did the but how does it personally affect you 0.91

00:22:26.840 meme well i do find it funny to call all these migrants gay and homo to live in a country too 0.99

00:22:31.400 dangerous for a rapist yeah yeah can't britain be a place that's too dangerous for rapists 0.99

00:22:37.240 you know that you think feminists would be signing up for this you'd think i mean like continental 1.00

00:22:43.960 feminists seem to be but british feminists as with so much are uniquely immune to common sense 1.00

00:22:51.160 they are they are at least they're transphobic that's the only good thing about british well to be 0.61

00:22:55.720 fair i i say that but then i see also that even jk rowling recently has been taking up the arms

00:23:00.840 against the grooming gangs so good that's some kind of progress i suppose yeah yeah yeah i mean i i

00:23:06.840 think a lot of this is posy sort of like being do we are we not speaking about this actually yeah

00:23:11.880 because she's actually quite based on a lot of things which is great um neo amila says color so

00:23:16.040 many opportunities to us why are they here it may as well become uh be on his tombstone or memorial one

00:23:21.160 day as an epitaph well the thing is the the point of asking the question repeatedly is to make people

00:23:26.200 be critical about why we have romanians barbecuing a sheep in the middle of the street why why is this 0.99

00:23:32.840 happening this doesn't have to be happening why do we have this rapist in the country this doesn't

00:23:37.400 have to be happening it's actually normal to get rid of these people they're not helpful they're not

00:23:41.000 making britain any better get rid of them send them home they've got homes to go to you know that's the

00:23:46.120 thing they've they come from somewhere uh that's a random name says we need to keep track of every

00:23:50.760 single person who facilitated these crimes judges civil servants politicians in order to bring them

00:23:54.360 to trial for their actions well i'm afraid that's that's not going to happen uh and he says these

00:23:58.760 are romanian gypsies non-gypsy romanians look more like slavic like v in bulgaria our gypsies sell their 0.98

00:24:04.200 door doors and parking lots for like three hundred dollars there's a reason everyone hates them i thought

00:24:08.520 they looked kind of like gypsies to be honest i'm not paying three hundred dollars for a gypsy i'm just 0.58

00:24:13.880 gonna steal my stuff but uh right okay anyway let's move on right so hollywood is in crisis and

00:24:22.440 a lot of celebrities need our support and help right but before we say more about this take a

00:24:28.760 half stone not to laugh yeah i mean we do have a presidential inauguration on the 20th of january

00:24:34.520 so a lot of celebrities will need help that's true yeah and also we have merch to help them and right so

00:24:42.360 we have here the beautiful trump mag i'd like to drink coffee from it but i i'm thinking moreover

00:24:51.400 wouldn't brad pitt be just thrilled to have someone come and donate money to him wearing

00:24:54.920 the trump shirt yes exactly the the trump 24 shirt that's that's exactly what he's looking for when he

00:25:01.320 wants his donations would he also like to wear the islander medal shirt these that would be it is an

00:25:07.560 awesome shirt it is an amazing shirt but this these are also going off sale when the new one comes out

00:25:12.120 so if you want them grab them now exactly last chance right so brad pitt and angelina jolie have had a

00:25:23.080 tumultuous relationship and they're um they have a divorce that has been ongoing for about eight years

00:25:29.560 how are they going to see the african children i think they and the winery in france that's the

00:25:35.080 main issue i think is that why they got the africans what was going on hurry please don't be mean it's a

00:25:41.720 complex issue don't be mean don't be mean right so this is an ongoing issue for around about eight years

00:25:48.600 i think they reached a settlement on the 30th of december last year 2024 don't ask me about details

00:25:55.720 because i'm not that brain dead you you mean you've not been keeping really close to google

00:26:01.560 alerts brangelina

00:26:05.480 right so they have been in an ongoing fight and it's about it's the beginning of at some point they

00:26:13.400 hit the beginning of the end then they have the vitrioling hatred stage custody battle and here they

00:26:18.920 they say something about a custody in uh about a french winery right okay and as you as we all

00:26:26.920 know generally speaking when there are several divorce settlements they usually are very harsh on men

00:26:33.480 yes again i i don't know and i'm not passing any anything on this so there has been a scam

00:26:41.320 uh that a screw let me see those images these images are just i mean that one in the top and

00:26:49.560 the middle right that's the face that i pull when i'm about to go right so right ai has been used has

00:26:55.400 it yeah that's that's incredible yeah so what i just told you about the divorce settlement between

00:27:00.920 angelina julie and brad pitt was formed the background of a scam that is tragic but also i mean

00:27:07.160 i mean it's at some point you laugh not sadistically but i'm not trying to laugh i'm not it's just

00:27:11.960 weird i am no i am laughing look at that one on the top right he's got a shaved head so let me guess

00:27:19.320 some boomer on facebook was scammed by ai slop would a 53 year old be considered a boomer no that's

00:27:27.240 spiritually though spiritually though okay someone who i don't know gen x is like the audience for brad

00:27:32.600 pitt sure i know we we are but like the the mentality of the boomer on facebook where it's like

00:27:45.320 just google brad pitt's name and find out what he was up to like yesterday yeah you really wanted to

00:27:51.240 right okay they're very trusting of facebook so what happened is that a woman will send these images

00:28:05.000 will send these these images let us just look at the images first i like the idea this is my purse

00:28:12.200 personal favorite top top right the way you should look he looks like the boy in the striped pajamas

00:29:03.000 yeah this is this is me brad pitt and my arm here you go

00:29:08.360 right so let me tell you what what happened is that a a french interior designer called an

00:29:14.520 an around 53 year old started being active on social media right we need the timeline of events

00:30:02.680 again come on he's so doped up this is mean i feel mean laughing it does feel mean but the more of

00:30:11.080 these images are they're staring at me yeah if you just look at the abyss is staring back yeah you feel

00:30:16.280 like they're piercing through your soul something and brad pitt has that effect all your secrets

00:30:22.920 harry will come to the floor she goes oh look brad pitt's emailed me he's in hospital he has my emails

00:30:29.800 yeah he's got my email somehow he's in hospital he's got cancer he needs 800 grand from me like

00:30:35.880 right there was a matchmaker because brad pitt was shy right oh what's that okay so she started

00:30:41.320 being active on social media she made a profile i think it was on instagram and she was contacted

00:30:45.800 by brad pitt's mother oh what are the odds i mean just can't she lend him some money i never like that

00:30:51.560 wife of his just it should have been you how did this woman not have like friends around going look i 1.00

00:30:57.240 don't think brad pitt's actually to be fair to be fair all right my my my missus watches a lot of

00:31:03.880 catfish and all of these people tend to have friends around them going this is insane oh this is

00:31:11.640 insane but they get themselves really maybe they're not friends saying i love you yeah a real a real

00:31:20.520 picture obviously brad pitt what are you talking about no a lot of people around them they will say

00:31:26.680 obviously this is this is fake but they may have the sort of crisis and say maybe my friends don't

00:31:32.920 want me to be happy and it is actually my friends don't want me to marry brad pitt themselves yeah

00:31:38.600 they want to share it come on oh i feel again i do feel bad for her i mean karl you've got to consider

00:31:44.360 as well she is a woman so what happened was that the the an a fake account contacted her 0.95

00:31:49.800 had her allegedly the matter of brad pitt obviously not and then brad pitt started the fake brad pitt

00:31:57.240 started talking to her and he was promising her future gifts but there was a custom issue oh was

00:32:04.840 there and he he asked for money to pay for the custom issue anyway initially 800 grand later

00:32:10.040 she initially she felt custom views are pretty high up she felt a bit skeptical but and here is

00:32:18.040 the key the word arbitration there's a great super challenge to come in whoa brad pitt chose me to be

00:32:23.800 his top guy no way i'll do it i'll do it for you brad pitt i'll go to bat for you brad pitt look i love

00:32:28.520 that meme so yeah it's so good don't try to convince me that the victoria's secret angels who are contacting 0.85

00:32:34.200 i i said no because how much is the custom duty it's a lot but they're worth it damn it

00:32:43.400 can't convince me otherwise oh god right so soon afterwards they started texting on a daily basis

00:32:50.200 and as ann said that her suspicions died down a bit because oh well he really knew how to talk to women 0.63

00:32:57.720 and brad pitt also knows how to talk to women so he must be brad pitt we got angelina yes

00:33:04.840 let's cut to the chip was he indian no really oh okay no we don't we don't know but he has been

00:33:11.640 found in nigeria i won't say oh so it was that night what were the odds prince right so at some

00:33:17.960 point when when this when uh she told him on the accounts on the on the fake account that was

00:33:24.840 allegedly brad pitt brad pitt literally messing her in pigeon english yeah jesus she told him that

00:33:32.120 she is about to get a divorce from a very rich french millionaire oh and sharks smell blood and 0.99

00:33:39.720 they just instantly go get psyched up and he started saying he has kidney cancer and he needs treatment

00:33:47.080 good point and brad pitt angelina took everything and he can't pay for it because he had has issues

00:33:53.320 with accessing his accounts so let him that money yeah right so she fell for it she sent him lots of

00:34:01.000 money and at some point she was a bit she understood that she it was at this moment right okay so at some

00:34:11.320 point she saw so he was she asked to talk to him he was never able to to contact her and at some point

00:34:18.920 she saw brad pitt with his new what his new i think brad pitt's right out and it was at this moment that

00:34:26.280 she realized that he was cheating on her yes oh my god how could you do this anyway so she contacted the

00:34:35.000 police and uh she also contacted the the what's that i don't know what that was what on earth is this

00:34:44.760 have you got something to tell us tell me no it's just that this wasn't a link of mine samson this

00:34:50.360 isn't working but anyway i'll just tell you what happened she contacted the founder of the find my

00:34:56.840 scammer website mr warab mr warab trapped the the fake brad pitt he sent him a link the link opened

00:35:07.800 opened it he opened the link and then they could find his phone and they found out that he is operating

00:35:14.040 in nigeria and that there is also another ongoing scam at the moment where he is pretending to be keanu reeves

00:35:21.960 so john wick needs also your money don't fall for it listen john wick six the funding is not going

00:35:30.360 great right now we need your help to fund john wick six just to be clear right if she got what six

00:35:36.440 hundred thousand pounds out like he got six hundred thousand pounds out of it right yeah close to seven

00:35:42.520 seven hundred thousand yeah pounds right yeah the average house price in nigeria is ten thousand pounds

00:35:48.200 that's a lot of house this guy must have bought himself an entire city he's king now yeah he's

00:35:53.480 literally the king of nigeria but if but if he did it he's he's uh he's a rookie because if you really

00:36:01.160 because if you spend it instantly that you you'll get found out yeah assuming there was a functioning

00:36:05.880 government in the country maybe exactly and that's the issue with mr warab mr warab added it's a small

00:36:11.720 group of three or four fairly young people who are causing damage on the fake brad pitt's device alone we

00:36:17.320 counted 34 victims he told the 34 different women jesus it's much more than 34 carl it's a it's a

00:36:26.760 it's a huge rabbit hole i have stuff afterwards oh okay sorry actually these scams are quite common

00:36:32.600 oh right okay right so he told the news outlet he had contacted the nigerian authorities

00:36:39.560 yeah just silence for no reason i'm sure he didn't bribe them and has promised to hand over

00:36:45.000 all the information he had on the scammer oh yeah see here brad pitt and i love you

00:36:58.920 again they got the barber in to do his hair this is just it's just so fake it's not they they call it

00:37:04.840 deep fake ai yeah it's it's not even that it's it's so bad yeah it's very bad it's very facebook boomers

00:37:12.680 let's go down what happened to his neck i thought it was kidney surgery

00:37:30.040 did they just beat him up while he was under and what needs to get sent through customs just

00:37:34.520 out of interest anyway yeah here we have a very very happy breath he's the surgery

00:37:40.680 the only person who is happy being in a hospital apparently she fell for that oh god yeah let's 0.90

00:37:47.880 hold down a bit anyway right so um

00:37:54.360 brad pitt responded through someone who responded from me through a representative

00:37:59.400 he said thanks that surgery wouldn't have gone the way it did without you

00:38:02.520 i love you i love you ann sorry ann it's awful that scammers take advantage of the strong bond

00:38:10.120 between fans and celebrities yeah this is a really dark side of the whole parasocial relationship that

00:38:17.160 people form and it's uh it to me it's even weirder because at least with social media like youtube at

00:38:22.840 least you've got the person like looking into the camera saying i really appreciate you thank you for

00:38:27.640 everything you do and you get the twitch thoughts saying like oh thanks for 10 grand and then

00:38:31.320 ignoring you also dragon lady chris i do need surgery soon so you know i love you

00:38:38.920 with hollywood celebrities they're just playing characters on the screen right so yeah it's even

00:38:43.640 weirder to form that parasocial bond yeah say this is an important reminder not to respond to unsolicited

00:38:48.840 online messages especially from actors who are not present on social networks trust me if i message

00:38:54.120 you it will be from my real account yes breakfast like they're getting a lot of money out of this

00:39:00.840 i would show you some real pictures from the hospital i did lose a lot of the divorce yeah

00:39:08.680 i like how okay here we have this is ai brad pitt needs some cash to get out of jail

00:39:16.520 the jail behind him seems to be open as well so this is something that that is ongoing for a long

00:39:21.880 time now there are a lot of scammers who is this she what she thought brad pitt wanted her yeah but

00:39:28.520 woman catfish by fake brad pitt tried to sue brad pitt yeah what this is not taking steps to protect

00:39:36.440 his online presence sorry someone lied to you and you were like i love brad pitt and then you're like

00:39:42.200 yeah that wasn't the real brad pitt he broke my heart i'm gonna sue brad pitt well yeah she she sued him

00:39:47.160 because what happened was that she says that she was contacted by a an account that pretended to

00:39:54.920 represent his foundation she started organizing fundraisers for his foundation and there is

00:40:01.000 surgery so anyway she she sued him but he won the oh good i'm glad but even then that must have been 0.74

00:40:08.920 stressful yeah she looks quite intense yeah she does yeah i tell you what man i'm so glad i'm ugly

00:44:35.800 segment for uh our podcast because obviously we normally deal with politics but i am a very uh

00:44:43.000 into culture pop culture and films and yesterday i learned that my favorite filmmaker uh an absolute

00:44:51.160 master director artist uh painter musician uh practitioner of transcendental meditation david lynch

00:44:59.320 passed away at the age of 78 it was a big part of his identity oh yeah he started promoting it and

00:45:04.440 everything so that mean the way he describes it sounds very peaceful oh okay very very peaceful

00:45:10.120 uh but yeah he sadly passed away we're not entirely sure as to why yet it seems that he probably had uh

00:45:16.760 well he did have emphysema he was 78 years old he'd been smoking since he was eight years old had to

00:45:22.760 give it up a few years ago and had to carry an oxygen tank around with him because of that so given that

00:45:27.800 he was living in la the hollywood the wildfires and everything are probably a contributing factor

00:45:34.360 to all of that which if anything for a man whose work was so dedicated to hollywood and looked a lot

00:45:42.040 at hollywood and california in particular is quite fitting almost lynchian in a way but i thought i would

00:45:47.720 pay tribute to him because of course he is one of my favorite artists i believe that art is how we reach

00:45:53.320 transcendence and uh an expression of the deepest forms of humanity and i feel like he was an

00:45:59.560 incredible artist that not all of you may appreciate you don't have to appreciate him but he was

00:46:04.440 controversial he was daring he was uncompromising and created some art that no matter who you were

00:46:10.520 got a reaction out of you it had some kind of effect on you i know you've not seen i've never

00:46:15.800 seen any of his films i would highly i'm not saying he's good no i would highly recommend

00:46:19.640 them i know stelios you've watched a bit of his stuff yes yes i have uh but i've watched quite

00:46:24.760 a bit before i go any further get the merch on the website for the inauguration we've got the trump

00:46:29.400 merch back so you can get that while it's still there and uh also regarding lynch himself i have

00:46:36.120 covered quite a bit of his work on the website already back in 2022 i got connor to watch mulholland

00:46:41.880 drive one of his most famous films um which a lot of people have seen it's kind of considered a

00:46:47.400 classic connor did not really appreciate it very much but it was a very good discussion it's my

00:46:54.120 favorite of his so connor's wrong connor is wrong about a lot of things but um i also did in particular

00:47:01.560 i did a very big video with josh talking about twin peaks which is probably his most influential work

00:47:08.200 that many of you will be familiar with even if you've not actually watched it just because it's

00:47:12.120 been paid tribute and homage to and parodied so many times because especially in the early 1990s it

00:47:18.280 was a big pop cultural force and basically changed television influenced loads of video games japanese

00:47:24.840 video games in particular and changed how some people saw and uh saw horror and used horror in their

00:47:31.480 works so very very influential that was a discussion that josh and i had and i think it's well worth

00:47:36.760 checking those videos out if you have a membership to the website before we go on yeah neo and realist 0.66

00:47:41.640 is like for fuck's sake carl go watch twin peaks on mulholland drive there's so much slop today you 0.82

00:47:46.120 should see that yes he again not to be too hyperbolic he was like a real author an artist and his films 0.95

00:47:55.960 occupy a strange space where they're not fully art films i mean he made art films but his big feature

00:48:02.520 productions were not fully art films there are characters that you can get invested in there

00:48:06.520 are linear narratives that you can follow but they're also not really mainstream the most mainstream

00:48:11.960 he ever got was elephant man and dune dune dune oh dune yeah oh what the 70s dune the 80s one oh

00:48:20.600 the 80s yeah no okay i have seen yeah i love that film yeah i think it's great a lot of people i mean he

00:48:25.640 hated it he disavowed really well the one film of his i've actually seen and liked he's like no i

00:48:32.120 hate that well it's because there was a lot of studio meddling they didn't want him to get his

00:48:35.880 full vision out and there was like a four hour cut oh really that was going to be his cut and then

00:48:40.200 they said no you need to cut an hour and a half out of it which is why the last third of the film

00:48:45.000 feels so truncated compared to the first parts of it his his dune was great because it's like it's it's

00:48:51.400 a fever dream yeah it's a total fever it's really wacky and it it feels like a strange and unusual

00:48:57.960 place which is what you want arrakis to feel like well i mean that was the thing that appealed to me

00:49:01.960 most about the films when i first started watching them was that he had a vision and was able to craft

00:49:08.200 an atmosphere unlike any other filmmaker that i've seen there have been a lot of imitators but nobody's

00:49:14.440 really been able to capture that same feeling which is why it was deemed lynchian which is the term

00:49:19.800 that you hear a lot and interestingly enough do you know what he uh turned down to do june instead

00:49:26.120 he was originally offered by george lucas himself return of the jedi probably a good thing yeah 0.99

00:49:33.240 supposedly he heard about the ewoks and said nope really nope i'm not gonna do that but uh yes sadly

00:49:40.840 i learned that he died yesterday and there has been an outpouring of tributes which in a way has been

00:49:47.240 quite heartwarming to see a lot of people paying tribute to his life and his work the man himself

00:49:52.840 his attitudes towards life and it's kind of bridged the divide in politics because there have been

00:49:59.480 people that i've seen on the left and on the right both paying tribute to his works because he was a

00:50:05.480 truly american artist one of the last of his kinds kind of a throwback to an older age where he was a full-on

00:50:13.720 montana born midwestern golly gee whiz type he would say things like that swell and he had a very

00:50:21.400 very chipper attitude but one of the things that made his work so endearing and enigmatic was that

00:50:26.440 he was able to marry the beauty of life and the positive things in life with that dark and disturbing

00:50:35.000 um atmosphere that you find underneath everything because the kind of films that he made are not the

00:50:41.640 kind of films that you would expect a guy like him to make if you'd just seen an interview with him

00:50:47.400 where he comes across really chipper and friendly and upbeat all of the time but he was in touch with

00:50:52.920 the darker uses really bizarre and otherworldly otherworldly yes psychological there's a kind

00:50:58.840 of psychological menace yeah and that underneath yeah and it became his calling card especially in

00:51:05.480 some later films like um when twin peaks when that progressed further and when you get to lost

00:51:11.560 highway mulholland drive inland empire in particular is a very very challenging film uh not one that i

00:51:17.320 would recommend anybody to watch as their first introduction but then at the same time was able

00:51:21.800 to make a disney film called the straight story which is really heartwarming about a man who finds out

00:51:27.880 his brother is dying who's lost contact with for years so takes a lawnmower and rides it all the way

00:51:33.400 across america just so he can see his brother for the last time it's not a bad way of getting across

00:51:37.960 america the the character is very very poor so it's the best that he can do and it's it again it's this

00:51:43.640 interesting dynamic that is expressed throughout his films which i think it expressed some of the uh

00:51:49.240 the depth of character of the man himself and also allowed his films to speak to people of many

00:51:55.480 different walks of life although one of the best reactions that i saw so far was uh just why can it

00:52:02.120 never be woody allen or roman polanski i'm sure it will eventually be them it will eventually but

00:52:08.280 why does it have to be the good ones first so is this one of those rare hollywood directors who is

00:52:14.920 not a nonce then um it seems so wow in fact he was quite the ladies man oh okay and uh every single

00:52:24.760 actor you see talk about him talks about what a positive experience they have with him and all of the

00:52:29.480 the women who talk about him who work with him seem to have basically just fallen in love with him

00:52:33.560 as well which is quite sweet because he seemed to have a sort of aura that taught uh that um led the

00:52:41.160 that made the women feel like they were the only woman in the world and the most special woman in

00:52:45.720 the world there was an interesting thing i didn't include it in this there's a very famous scene from

00:52:49.960 mulholland drive you'll remember it the um the denny's scene i think it is where it goes to the back of the

00:52:56.280 denny's and there's the hobo monster that pops out from behind and the there was an interview

00:53:01.960 conducted with the woman who played it and uh she was uh he was uh the they asked her what uh what was

00:53:08.520 the direction you were given for being scary like that and she goes well you know we were trying to

00:53:14.440 figure out what kind of face that i should pull and it just wasn't working we did all these different

00:53:19.400 takes and eventually i was talking with david and you know like he was really hot so i was giving him

00:53:24.600 googly eyes and he looked at me and said that's the face that right there and they asked him wait

00:53:31.320 so you were pulling sex eyes in that take and she's like yep okay it's just it's very very strange to

00:53:39.880 see a guy like that have such positive attention from women but hey some guys have game yeah right

00:53:45.640 right but there is there is some sadness that comes with this and i don't want to dwell on the

00:53:49.800 sadness because he seemed like such a positive person and i don't think he would want people to

00:53:54.600 to weep over him or anything but there is some sadness that after he did the third series of twin

00:53:59.880 peaks in 2017 he mainly dedicated himself to producing music and paintings but he did have

00:54:06.520 other ideas for films and television series which he was trying to work with netflix to produce

00:54:13.400 and last year he was giving interviews where he said that just netflix had just

00:54:17.800 rejected most of them rejected all of them in fact he was going to try and make netflix for you

00:54:23.720 yeah he was going to try and make a film called um called snoot world which was going to be an

00:54:29.560 animated family friendly project but they just rejected it he'd also been working on a television

00:54:35.400 series called unrecorded night that they also rejected as well so while netflix is green lighting

00:54:43.160 who knows how much absolute shit that goes on the platform they have access to one of the last great 0.98

00:54:49.880 unique american artists and directors and they say no just no because he's not gay enough he didn't 0.99

00:54:57.080 tick the boxes yeah it's uh just just sad to see that had people been more in line with his vision

00:55:05.960 that we could have gotten more from the man but what we did get was fantastic and again to go through the

00:55:11.800 tributes now it was remarkable the range of people who came out uh paying tributes to the man all day

00:55:19.480 yesterday going into today as well so you know you expect somebody who's like considered artsy unusual

00:55:26.040 eccentric and strange to get leftist attention because they they like being film buffs and they

00:55:30.840 like projecting themselves as like oh i'm the media literate they like authors right so you get people

00:55:36.440 like contrapoints coming out with this which is a still from mulholland drive you know very sad but

00:55:43.160 then oh go on go on no this is one of my favorite scenes from the movie where they're at the silencio

00:55:49.080 club and also naomi watts here i think is just excellent i think uh that was the movie that changed

00:55:56.040 her career yes she attributes all of her success to the fact that he he cast her in there and i mean

00:56:01.880 i i i i don't know how difficult that is in her case but the way david lynch may portrays her in the

00:56:09.320 in that movie is like she oozes femininity oh yeah yeah there's there's very distinct there's 1.00

00:56:15.240 vulnerability there's bitterness there's spitefulness all of the female uh attributes also like i i guess

00:56:21.960 niceness innocence i suppose i meant in a good way okay the wrong way but again it's all about she's the

00:56:29.960 damsel in distress i mean yes i did have an argument with my wife this morning thank you

00:56:34.760 you could make an argument that all of his work is how he is about what he described inland empire as

00:56:39.880 which is a woman in trouble yeah that's what he describes that film as and i think it goes it

00:56:45.080 explains most of his work uh although he was particularly enigmatic whenever anybody tried

00:56:49.800 to pin him down on what his films were about and their meanings especially the more uh unusual ones which

00:56:56.760 i think is a sign of good integrity where he had a vision and he didn't want to explain that vision

00:57:02.280 because the vision was the film you want the vision you watch the film and then people try and get him

00:57:06.680 to put it into words and he says the film is the words and it makes it so that those films have this

00:57:12.520 beautiful abstract ambiguity to them that i saw someone describe as no matter who you were who you were

00:57:17.880 with at the time you would watch the film and feel like it was made for you in mind which is really

00:57:23.160 really interesting you know just a quick thing on that i've been i i was on a stream of arch yesterday

00:57:29.240 i was trying to emphasize that there was a game developer like what the gamers want it's like

00:57:33.240 we you know like with any art you can't do it by committee or by mechanic right as in we're not

00:57:40.120 asking for like you know more numbers what we're asking for is for you to have a an idea in your head

00:57:45.480 of a human experience that you want to transmit to us via the medium of the art and this this game

00:57:51.560 developer's like i don't know what gamers want it's like well yeah i agree yeah exactly what do

00:57:56.040 you want you know what do you want to tell us and the answer is nothing of course he doesn't have

00:57:59.000 anything to tell us yeah for him this is mechanical industrial process not a work of art and it's like

00:58:03.880 then you shouldn't even be in the industry get out right and that's that's the this is the very

00:58:08.920 antonym of what that person is i mean uh it's it was after june that he decided he wasn't going to

00:58:15.480 work within the studio system anymore so the film he made after that was blue velvet which is again

00:58:20.760 a strange unusual difficult film for some but of his more complicated films it has a linear

00:58:27.640 narrative that you can follow easily so it makes it one of the more accessible ones then he kind 0.94

00:58:32.280 of worked in the studio system again for twin peaks because that was a television show he got

00:58:36.360 screwed over for that so didn't ever go back to it and it's kind of beautiful that you know decades

00:58:41.720 later he managed to finish the show with its third series and make it in a really uncompromising

00:58:47.480 way because he managed to do it entirely directed and co-written by himself 18 hour long episodes

00:58:54.680 so it's just like an entire magnum opus of a of a television program and it's fantastic but again

00:59:01.160 you got george alexopoulos friend of the show doing a portrait of the man you get people uh posting clips

00:59:08.360 uh from twin peaks and this is a this is a really beautiful one i would play some of the clips but i don't

00:59:12.840 want to get copyrighted sadly but this is great because uh lynch himself cast himself in twin peaks

00:59:18.680 as a man called gordon cole who has hearing issues and he's speaking to this woman shelley who's

00:59:24.920 completely beautiful obviously yeah and uh because she is so beautiful and he falls so in love with her

00:59:31.320 immediately uh all of a sudden he's just able unlike anybody else he can just hear her oh that's

00:59:36.600 useful it's it's very sweet as well and then the immediate scene after he got to kiss her jammy 0.72

00:59:42.440 bastard it's a lot less creepy than i wrote it yeah i was gonna say i wrote it so i got the thing i like 0.96

00:59:47.400 yeah exactly says quentin tarantino sucking what's her face's toes it's not as bad as that thankfully 0.97

00:59:53.880 i'm here yeah and uh then you get to all of a sudden tom rousel friend of the show as well survive

01:00:00.040 the jive paying tribute saying twin peaks is the best television series ever made low to watch it

01:00:05.960 yeah lome's saying that he's heartbroken about this uh pointing out what i mentioned earlier that

01:00:11.400 his films were not art films and they weren't commercial films they were something more unique

01:00:16.440 than either of those lome's posting now this is a beautiful scene and you should watch it

01:00:20.760 just for the scenes like this because there's so much darkness and so much horror in the show but

01:00:26.760 this scene is beautiful so again i would play it but copyright the um uh the scene is this man

01:00:34.120 major briggs and his son bobby and then first series briggs comes across like this very no

01:00:38.760 nonsense military man very cold very detached and bobby is this rebellious teenager who's going down

01:00:45.000 the wrong route in life then all of a sudden in the second series you get very early on directed by

01:00:49.640 lynch himself the scene of the two of them coming together where briggs gives this monologue it's

01:00:55.160 beautiful where he explains he had this vision where he was in the family home that he grew up in that

01:01:00.520 had extended a little bit but all of the rooms perfectly fit to make itself into some kind of

01:01:06.520 organism and then he gets a knock at the door and vis and he finds that it's his son bobby and he

01:01:12.600 sees that his son is living his most fulfilling and joyous life and they embrace and in that moment

01:01:18.600 become one and he puts it a lot nicer than i did there but it is it's one of those scenes that never

01:01:24.840 fails to bring a tear out of me because of how beautifully put it is the language used in it

01:01:31.000 is fantastic and again it's wonderful to see people posting these kinds of things

01:01:36.200 because it's different it's a break from the horror and misery that is normally my twitter timeline

01:01:43.880 you get people as different as bronze age pervert paying tribute saying oh no at this awesome image 0.72

01:01:51.480 of the guy lighting a cigarette richard spencer posted saying one of the greats so you can go

01:01:57.400 from somebody like contrapoints all the way to richard spencer semiogog uh geo's content-minded

01:02:04.600 corner now this is one of my favorite little interview excerpts from him where he talks about

01:02:08.360 his debut film a razorhead and uh the interview he says i believe it or not a razorhead is my most

01:02:13.880 spiritual film the interviewer elaborate on that no no figure it out yourself

01:02:25.320 i like that response was anthony hopkins playing him on he's an elephant man elephant man it was as

01:02:34.040 far as i know it was his only big like film role before silence of the lambs and you would it's a

01:02:39.720 really good role so you've expected him to make it big after that but yeah hollywood works funny

01:02:44.920 like that then you get the prudentialist and then you get nerd rottick come out and you get john d

01:02:50.360 who's a huge lynch fan posting some yeah posting some of the images from his films and you can just

01:02:56.680 see from here the eye that the man had for very very striking imagery there's a kind of liminalness

01:03:04.120 to everything that i'm seeing here right everything feels like it's the threshold of something

01:03:08.440 different and terrible well it's it's very purposefully dreamlike yeah and again uh something

01:03:13.480 like blue velvet some people think that he indulged in this love of americana ironically he really didn't

01:03:21.000 he was again a midwestern boy who grew up with the white picket fences he just had an intuitive

01:03:28.200 understanding that life is not all sunshine and rainbows and understood to uh that to have one you

01:03:35.880 cannot have one without the other the light and the dark and so presented that beautifully in his

01:03:41.160 films also lost highways is a great film yeah it's awesome a wild at heart is one that people don't

01:03:47.880 talk about as much but they should because it's the only film so bizarre that nicholas cage's performance

01:03:53.240 actually fits oh really yeah it's a there's willem dafoe by the way yeah yeah that's great

01:04:00.520 uh it's the most strange stealth retelling of the wizard of oz i've ever seen or at least it pays

01:04:08.280 a lot of tribute to that kunli drukpa posted this which is one of my favorite things i say you know

01:04:13.560 he's this nice kindly man he was very upbeat and shipper on set he could have a bit of a temper

01:04:19.240 and it was all in service of the vision this is just a little behind the scenes thing from swin

01:04:23.400 p series three where somebody's saying can we cut the scene down scenes going on a little bit long

01:04:28.200 so he just does this i'm gonna try to do a close-up on candy still

01:04:33.560 if you want to cut the time down

01:04:37.000 what's right what is this with everybody what is it really me i'm not i'm serious

01:04:43.240 a man and drive me nuts who gives a how long a scene is

01:04:50.280 anti-long house energy right yeah but a good point like if if it's necessary for this thing that i'm

01:04:56.040 trying to do who cares yeah morgoth came out i wasn't expecting morgoth do a little rest in peace

01:05:03.160 tribute and then you get to the people who actually worked with him carl mclaughlin who his whose

01:05:08.760 career he made with blue velvet in june yeah saying about how he's going to miss his friend and how he

01:05:13.960 made his career and how they were kind of kindred spirits in a way naomi watts i've seen loads of

01:05:19.320 people come out and say that uh give tributes to him i've not seen laura dern come out with one yet

01:05:24.760 but i can imagine a period of mourning because they were so close i did my own tribute which was uh

01:05:31.640 that the man had incredible taste in women which got quite a lot of likes my biggest post in quite a

01:05:38.040 while because of simps every single one of you although oh yeah we're gonna put the simps in the

01:05:45.800 stock i can't blame them i can't blame them everyone who bookmarked this tweet is going in

01:05:50.040 the stock and then there's also the point that some people have said that you know the games that

01:05:54.680 he inspired as well particularly for me silent hill is one of the big ones silent hill 2 very

01:06:01.000 very influenced by lost highway and then you know i also included some other things about his uh

01:06:06.680 the man himself in his own words some excerpts of interviews and little things that he wrote in

01:06:11.480 in books like this one's a good one where he's talking about therapy i went to a psychiatric

01:06:15.880 what a psychiatrist once i was doing something that had become a pattern in my life and i thought

01:06:19.960 well i should talk to a psychiatrist i got to the room i asked him do you think that this process

01:06:23.880 could in any way damage my creativity and he said well david i have to be honest it could so i shook his

01:06:29.640 hand and left base yeah there was this funny thing that he did back in 2006 where he was uh

01:06:35.880 uh advertising laura dern's performance for uh inland empire where to try and get attention he just

01:06:42.680 sat on the corner of hol of a hollywood bolivar a boulevard or something with a cow

01:06:48.360 to draw people's attention and this david loose sat here with a cow yeah

01:06:52.040 how are you nice to meet you nice to meet you nice to meet you this is apparently just for laura dern

01:07:13.240 i don't get the cheese thing did he explain it to you he works out of brazil

01:07:16.680 and they're all like i do not understand what's going on but memorable quirky and importantly

01:07:37.400 entirely sincere yes he wasn't just trying to be weird for the sake of it or be ironic

01:07:42.840 he was just like this this was where his mind took him during the covid era during those years

01:07:49.560 he took to doing daily weather reports on what the weather was like in los angeles oh yeah and

01:07:53.960 this was the last one that he did in 2022 good morning it's december 16 2022 and if you

01:08:04.440 can't believe it it's a friday once again the audio just cut i don't know why the audio cut but he

01:08:15.160 basically said if you can believe it it's a friday once again it became it was very very charming little

01:08:21.160 thing and again there's a there's this idea that he was just ironic in what he was doing which is

01:08:27.800 completely wrong because he did a one of those masterworks courses or whatever it was a few years ago

01:08:32.920 and there's just so much footage from that where he's talking about the films that inspired him

01:08:37.800 and looking back at something as simple as it's a wonderful life and as he's watching it and talking

01:08:43.080 about it he wells up a little bit this is not the spirit of a man who's sneering americana and the

01:08:49.080 idea of the american dream this is a man that feels it deeply in his soul oh this was a good one as

01:08:55.000 well when lost highway came out and siskel and ebert said it's a horrible film don't watch it he used

01:09:00.440 that as a two more great reasons to see yeah that's one of my criteria for choosing a movie

01:09:07.080 if establishment critics are all don't watch it i do it's gotta be something to it yeah and there are

01:09:12.920 other wonderful interviews talking about the creative process never really explaining himself

01:09:17.480 or the meaning of his films but i just thought if you are a creative person the best way to pay tribute

01:09:23.000 to somebody like this who's uncompromising creative sincere to a fault is to go out and do something

01:09:30.520 yourself and try to express yourself in any way you can even if you get false starts that's all part of

01:09:36.600 the creative process even if you have trouble accessing that creativity try and put yourself in a state of

01:09:42.600 mind where the ideas will come to you and here's his advice to uh close this off and so you just stay alert

01:09:53.160 do your work don't worry about the world going by it doesn't mean that you can sit around and not do

01:10:02.200 anything you've got to get your butt in gear and do it and don't take no for an answer translate those

01:10:12.520 ideas to cinema or to a painting or to whatever and um figure out a way to get it done yeah

01:10:23.240 so uh this was a bit of an indulgent segment for me but thank you for sitting through it and david

01:10:27.720 thank you very much for all the art that you have left for us hewitt says uh razor head and blue velvet

01:10:33.560 should be required viewing for everyone and matt says we also lost a professional baseball player

01:10:37.400 milwaukee brewers announcer and bob an actor bob uca uh bob starred in mr belvedere sitcom for six

01:10:45.400 seasons making movies and middle light adverts uh i've never heard of him i'm afraid but uh

01:10:53.000 let's uh carry on with the video comments then here is my economic model if you can just i can't buy

01:10:59.720 what on earth is this let's go that they get lowered sentences reduced sentences not lowered

01:11:22.440 oh you got me there yeah you got me there we got any more samson that's it i was just i was a bit

01:11:36.600 impatient at that point because i knew dan and the economy it's always about boomers i said okay just

01:11:42.520 say it don't give me things you know just old roy says good morning lads 5 a.m here in california love

01:11:48.680 the lads hour i can't wait for the next one well interestingly uh today's lads hour will be a very

01:11:52.920 history focused one because uh bo and i and everyone else will be discussing uh who the greatest general

01:11:59.320 is but not in the traditional way because normally the greatest general is like oh well who if they

01:12:03.000 had their army at the peak of their powers who could no no no this is gonna be about fistfights

01:12:07.240 like which which historical leader was the chaddest who is going to be the uh the the biggest brawler

01:12:13.640 the best brawler and you know what what's interesting is a lot of historical leaders have actually

01:12:17.400 been pretty tough guys uh so what a shock yeah i know right so i'm quite looking forward to it uh

01:12:22.840 lads out today is gonna be great it's gonna be one of my personal favorites uh dan says uh the right 0.81

01:12:27.560 we should send criminals home the left but what about the gay rights of the rapist it's just literally 0.88

01:12:32.760 that's an interesting priority to take yeah it's umar says the worst cases of refusal to deport are

01:12:39.640 when the danger they face comes from the justice under the foreign legal system i'm only surprised

01:12:44.280 they haven't started a pr campaign to alleviate stigma against rape attracted persons in the same

01:12:48.680 world they're going the map chipper with the rest of the rapists well what's interesting is that

01:12:51.800 keir starmer would be right over in jamaica being like wait a minute you're not going to punish this

01:12:55.480 guy for being a rapist are you um have you considered his human rights yeah well he i mean

01:13:00.360 keir starmer literally went to jamaica and got the death penalty abolished because a bunch of child 0.98

01:13:04.440 murderers yeah you don't have to tell me yeah i know and it's just i just how i'm so glad this guy's in

01:13:09.960 charge how is that priority anyway like you know you've got things to do in your day like yeah but

01:13:14.840 today i need to go and save the child murderers in jamaica uh sorry what anyway thomas says the 0.79

01:13:21.800 jamaican gay rapist story reminds me of the charlie brooker series uh a touch of cloth in which chief 0.93

01:13:26.680 inspected despite being a serial killer in the first series comes back to his role as a ci with the 0.98

01:13:32.200 point made by one of the characters don't worry he's been on a course which is

01:13:35.880 maureen says dutch person here i don't know if this was mentioned but i'm listening while working

01:13:41.720 i can't multitask in the case of those charming youngsters in the 33-year-old woman uh directly 1.00

01:13:46.200 led to faber our minister of refugee related business introducing a new law underage refugees

01:13:51.960 can now lose their residence permit and be thrown out of the country the new law will be introduced

01:13:55.800 in the next two weeks or so and will have a retroactive effect so a bunch of laws will also

01:13:59.480 be enforced personally i hope we use their heads as decorations near the border well i mean at

01:14:03.800 least something changed i didn't even hear about that but at least something is being done i've

01:14:07.160 heard that sweden is also looking to overturn parts of its constitution to make it easier to

01:14:11.480 kick out foreign criminals just get rid of them arizona deprive them of citizenship yeah yeah 1.00

01:14:16.680 arizona desert rat says were these children actually minors well that's the question isn't it 0.98

01:14:20.600 you know who knows i guess it's too racist to x-ray their teeth um uh colin says as heinlein again put it

01:14:28.520 pain is nature's way of saying something is wrong and i i really mean this i i i've got to the point

01:14:33.400 now where it's like look we've tried to persuade these people sending them on courses doesn't work

01:14:37.240 they just need to be flogged they just need to be flogged i'm just at that point sorry i don't

01:14:42.040 don't care at all i want them flogged um federal agent says uh at least when they displace us with

01:14:47.960 literal peasants they're being transparent about their neo-feudal agenda it's like yeah like yeah

01:14:53.480 i mean it's just literal romanian peasants i'm sure they're nice enough people and stuff but like

01:14:57.640 they don't need to be here and this this was in an aa video recently where he's talking about um

01:15:02.520 i think it was a follow-up to a video that he'd done on anti-capitalism and nationalism where he

01:15:07.640 said that yeah basically just thinks the ruling class just wanted slave labor without calling it

01:15:12.920 slave labor so they tried it with the soviet union and then stalin went rogue so they went all 0.87

01:15:17.800 right china instead then i don't know if that's an accurate description of what happened with the

01:15:23.160 soviet union well i mean we started we got into a cold war with them i know but that's not

01:15:28.280 stalin going rogue that's a natural response well capitalism and communism ideologies it meant that

01:15:34.520 the uh the economies couldn't cooperate as once they might have been able maybe whereas china's more 0.71

01:15:40.120 than happy to use slave labor to build tap for us sure but uh china's learned from the soviet 0.99

01:15:45.240 experience but that's not going rogue they were just trying to commit to communism anyway jimbo says uh

01:15:51.400 surely it's getting to the point where we should be locking up politicians criminal negligence yeah

01:15:55.080 but who's going to do the locking up and the politicians would have to rule against themselves 0.89

01:15:58.680 which is obviously not going to happen uh north fc zoomer says uh look at albania's gdp post 2020

01:16:04.840 when they started shipping the criminals to us it literally skyrocketed samson pull that up

01:16:11.400 can we get the help any gdp i am curious about question actually does deporting your criminals actually

01:16:18.680 does it raise does it raise living standards in a country oh my god good point what post 2020

01:16:28.120 it does just jump up doesn't it and this was during lockdowns yeah right so clearly those people

01:16:37.080 are having a negative economic effect on albania um george says imagine that woman's ego to think

01:16:44.200 she'd have a chance for somebody like brad pitt she destroyed her marriage with women it's 1.00

01:16:47.640 mentality that they can always find something better uh what's uh believable is that even a

01:16:51.960 star like pitt could be divorce raped wasn't she already getting divorce or something i think 1.00

01:16:56.440 she was yeah people in a vulnerable state of mind issues with her marriage yeah right someone online

01:17:03.000 says are you implying that my nigerian prince third cousin isn't actually a prince or related to

01:17:08.520 me and won't store my half million in a bank account uh yes i hate to break this to you mate yeah

01:17:14.440 got some bad news and says what's amazing for the cringe lord commander stelios story

01:17:19.400 is that the fact that we know about it people get ripped off all the time but the story of the

01:17:23.320 french woman and the brad pitt is what we know about that's a great point humanity makes the same 0.67

01:17:27.880 mistakes yeah over again and don't send it to brad pitt he doesn't love you like i do

01:17:36.280 this is why the beekeeper movie made money the story of people getting scammed is entertaining we need

01:17:40.440 jason statham to blow these perps up um but i just come on man just i mean i really brad pitt

01:17:49.560 needs another hundred thousand dollars does he come on just listen to that sentence yeah you know just

01:17:57.560 isn't the beekeeper the one it was it's not an issue of need it's an issue of proving

01:18:02.280 her loyalty to him yeah no doubt and i'm not sure if you love me that you love me if you don't send

01:18:08.920 me loads of money i thought i'd heard of this the beekeeper is the film where jason statham kills a

01:18:13.960 load of scammers but interestingly can you believe that they chose to cast all of the scammers as uh

01:18:20.440 rich entitled white guys i can and i completely believe that and not the nigerians and not nigerians or 0.99

01:18:28.040 indians dr david says what i'm getting from this is that only an ai truly understands

01:18:36.440 and how to communicate with them can we download that algorithm into my brain please see you were

01:18:42.360 all like oh i'm not getting brain chipped by elon but but if i could understand women exactly right

01:18:48.040 suddenly now you get what your wife is nagging sorry no chip no chip just saying no no perhaps

01:18:53.880 chat gpt will be able to get a woman to decide what she actually wants for dinner no what she's

01:18:58.360 doing is she wants what you're having for dinner that's she's just going tell me what i want for 1.00

01:19:03.560 dinner dear but she's having to phrase it as a question because they're always it needs customers

01:19:08.600 they're always freaking difficult the uh the federal agent that's been assigned to watch our podcast uh

01:19:13.560 says uh what is a 53 year old woman even doing with instagram so no instagram is really popular with 0.94

01:19:18.280 women yeah it's like of all ages like yeah like with pinterest and stuff like that because obviously

01:19:23.880 they're like um whatever things 53 year old women like on instagram what do they look at i know images 0.56

01:19:31.080 i stopped i stopped looking at instagram because it kept flooding my feed with dancing women and i was

01:19:35.960 i hate watching women dance why i don't know it's just like belly dances with a diamond it's just 1.00

01:19:42.760 aggressively dancing the camera so what are you asking from me like why are you on my screen like

01:19:48.120 and then so i managed to finally sanitize my instagram algorithm to just warhammer content

01:19:53.640 but then it started making me depressed because these guys painting this warhammer content was so

01:19:57.800 much better than me it was making me bring the women back yeah so i was just like i'm just going to

01:20:02.440 stop using instagram entirely it's just probably for the best yeah derek says uh does nigeria now have 0.99

01:20:09.800 fight clubs do this nigeria you know yeah they don't need you to set one up i actually i actually

01:20:16.040 was doing a bit of google map sleuthing about nigeria the other day i was just like looking at

01:20:19.640 it and it's like i mean it it looks like a nice enough place because you know it's hot country

01:20:24.920 and stuff like that and it looks okay but like i don't know i'm not going to go into it it's

01:20:30.360 probably better go any further grant says this is a cheap fake man it's the cheapest of cheap

01:20:35.720 fakes like that's the kind of the return on investment though is incredible amazing like this

01:20:40.760 is the kind of photoshop i could do with cutting out brad pitt's face and putting it on the the best

01:20:46.440 one was still him in the head my kidney problems really they let me stick my face out which is

01:20:53.400 perfectly fine and i'm flashing through the winning smile the hair man like in every one the hair was

01:20:58.920 different it's all yeah get the barbers in hey maybe that's what he was in for as a hair transplant

01:21:03.640 that's why he was so happy afterwards it went great dear um kevin says 40 of her friends did

01:21:11.080 tell her it was a scam unfortunately she doesn't speak cat uh rough bleach demon says the level of

01:21:16.760 scam effectiveness seems to explain why women keep letting all these nigerian princes flood europe 1.00

01:21:21.160 possibly omar says i'm not sure if you showed a picture of anne as i don't usually have time to

01:21:25.640 watch uh but i bet the scammed by lazy ai brad slop has a phenotype yeah probably does it's it's

01:21:34.120 certainly got an age bracket right like you know 50 something year old woman oh brad pitt finally

01:21:39.480 noticed me yeah i mean i i could never put myself in the mind of somebody who would fall for that

01:21:45.480 personally but yeah maybe that's just me yeah and now i have to reply to jessica alba

01:21:49.560 finally started watching the podcast brad pitt's instagram first question on the fit what do you

01:21:55.720 notice and 53 year old from france just interior designer you just popped up on my feed one day

01:22:03.800 come on anyway anne says uh as soon as i heard david lynch passed away i was hoping you'd do

01:22:09.000 something on harry thank you for this well thank you very much for watching oh we did get two more

01:22:12.760 rumble rents by the way oh sorry a miller one one two said lynch's dune was better than the modern

01:22:17.160 one i've not seen the modern one so i can't give a comparison but i do i think the first one is uh

01:22:23.160 really underrated like the modern ones are actually pretty good they're more serious than lynch's one

01:22:28.440 yeah but if they're less if they're less batshit insane then i'm not interested the batshit insanity

01:22:33.160 yeah especially baron harconis in that where the where he like harkonnen sorry where he pulls the key

01:22:39.400 out of the slave boy's chest and just lets him bleed out that's a horrible scene but it's also kind

01:22:44.360 of awesome it's it's very amusing but no the the new ones are different to the lynch i really like

01:22:50.200 the new ones i've not watched them so really looking forward to the third one garvin ambrose

01:22:55.960 said okay carl i just sent you another 20k in concord gift cards now come join me tomorrow's high

01:23:01.240 in minnesota is 19 19 fahrenheit bring a jacket dude it's winter here i've got to wear a jacket

01:23:07.400 don't worry i can afford one now that you sent me out 20 grand um derek says there can never be

01:23:13.080 another david lynch again we're all grateful for what he's given us and are saddened that he is no

01:23:17.160 longer around but let us now do what we can uh to be the best our best selves it's definitely what

01:23:22.280 david did to the end enjoy the coffee and keep your eye on the donut not the hole that was a saying of

01:23:27.160 his oh right okay right so if he says eraser head is honestly the closest i've gotten to experiencing a

01:23:34.840 fever dream that having a fever elephant man just makes me bawl my eyes out every single time and it's not

01:23:39.480 fair uh rest in peace lynch these movies were just memorable you never forget watching a stephen

01:23:44.440 lynch who's david lynch i think i think sophie miss uh mistyped there david lynch movie uh which has

01:23:51.400 to be the mark of a master uh charles says blue velvet and lost highway were kind of coherent and very

01:23:57.000 good blue velvet's actually a very straightforward linear narrative it's just that there's a lot of

01:24:02.760 um abstractions added to it visuals you forgot to say the story about um roy orbison and david lynch

01:24:11.880 and in dreams oh um it features oh yeah there's a very famous scene from it where uh a character i

01:24:18.840 think is it's not it's bill i think is the character where he just randomly sings the song in dreams by

01:24:25.160 roy orbison into a mic not into a microphone into a lamp yeah but also uh roy orbison wasn't particularly

01:24:32.360 a fan of uh he didn't particularly like that when i think david lynch i didn't know this yes i think

01:24:38.520 he asked him at some point and and uh roy orbison wasn't particularly fond of it but still it's it's

01:24:46.840 a very good scene lost highway is quite difficult although it is a bit more straightforward and david

01:24:52.360 lynch once did an interview with alex jones where he basically explained part of the plot so it's a

01:24:57.720 bit easier to follow for people so is david lynch based or what it's very it is obviously wasn't a

01:25:05.080 woke leftist though right oh no he's all over the place oh no he's all over the place okay and i don't

01:25:13.560 think that he was a particularly like political person the most of anything that i've seen about

01:25:19.480 his political views is that he was like a reagan libertarian in the 1980s and he said some positive

01:25:26.360 things about donald trump around the time of the 2015 2016 stuff but then there's also there's

01:25:33.240 his films and and twin peaks aren't political but there is a a trans character in twin peaks at one

01:25:40.360 point who's not really treated as somebody you should be special about he's just a guy in a dress who

01:25:45.640 at one point even takes off the dress so that he can do his job because he's a fbi agent i'm just a

01:25:52.040 trans fed in a dress bro nothing special about me many such cases federal agent who watches is

01:25:59.880 that correct is that normal it probably is um based ape says david lynch was great he's mike's film

01:26:05.720 favorite filmmaker so i hate him justin says uh why does it have to be the good ones first because

01:26:13.880 you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain listen man roman polanski has been a

01:26:17.960 villain for decades now yeah like a lot of these people began as villains uh joshua says i'd never

01:26:23.640 heard of david lynch before he died and having looked through his work i've never seen anything

01:26:26.440 he's made guys more famous in england than in ohio uh if it helps i i didn't even i didn't know that

01:26:32.040 doom was his i watched you i mean i didn't i'm surprised maybe it's just because i've i mean i'm a

01:26:36.760 media guy and a film guy but i'd always heard of him even before i'd even watched any of his films

01:26:41.240 also also my dad was like a huge twin peaks fan back in the day i'm shocked that you'd never even

01:26:46.040 have you even heard of twin peaks because that was like a cultural phenomenon back in the day yeah

01:26:51.240 yeah uh benedict by the way says i hope you'll have jan ziska on the lads out of consideration

01:26:56.680 well you can come and join us i'm happy to consider jan ziska actually i don't know how it wasn't he

01:27:05.000 wasn't he the um religious revolutionary in the sort of 16th century i don't know how physically

01:27:11.320 intimidating he is because the thing is you've got you've got problems with like people like genghis

01:27:15.240 khan because you know mongols are just physically very tough and so it's going to be difficult 1.00

01:27:20.600 thinking of who is actually going to be able to beat up genghis khan but there are a few contenders

01:27:24.600 uh but we'll get to that on the lads hour um devon says uh blue velvet by david lynch was quite

01:27:30.360 remarkable he also seemed to have a favorite actors working with kama glocklin and laura dern more than

01:27:34.360 once for example yeah he made a lot of these people's career and uh the final series of twin peaks

01:27:39.880 being the last thing he ever did in a big film way uh was quite fitting because it brought together

01:27:44.920 a lot of the ensemble that he'd gathered over the years like naomi watts kama glocklin laura dern

01:27:50.040 everybody was in it and it was a masterpiece i like this comment that's just been added here carl
