Christmas Has Fallen ft. Josh Boerman

Josh Boerman from the Worst of All Possible Worlds joins the gang in studio to discuss the ongoing weird-ification of the Anglo American right, seen through the lens of a number of state-level elections in the US and the doubling down on anti-Palestinian solidarity in the UK. Additionally, we discuss a strange superyacht based charity and finish on a sternly worded letter to the National Department Store on its insufficiently bouyant Christmas advert.

Good on Josh for mentioning that crazy event in Kelowna. I feel like Canada isn’t really considered or thought about when we consider cultural exports from the US. We’re basically beginning to experience the alt right rise that the US has been having. I’d be curious to hear Riley’s thoughts on it.

The greatest website that's ever existed was a Tumblr called Superyachts On Fire.

The supervillains actively causing the sea to rise up and swallow your home arrive in their floating palaces to do victory laps and get some PR shots of them throwing paper towels at you? I imagine that will be very well received by people with nothing left to lose.

bricklayer scrooge reminded me of the itv christmas carol adaptation where scrooge is a loan shark played by ross kemp and as well as being visited by all the ghosts he's also stuck in a christmas time loop

As soon as the words "yatch aide" were spoken I started thinking French special forces thoughts

Britain desperately needs some additional holidays, and not another one of those May Bank Holidays. Thankfully Halloween is on the incline.

My dad had a buddy who captained a rich guys yatcht. Rich guy was actually on the yacht maybe three weeks a year, but paid for it to be fully crewed all the time just in case. Mostly the job consisted of moving the boat from one beautiful resort area to another to meet the rich guy who flew there and hung out on the yatcht for a weekend. Actually using the yacht for disaster aid would be a bit of an improvement, though clearly we should just confiscate all the yachts permanently. Along with the golf courses, the jets, the real estate, etc....

Is there something up with the audio? There are times when they're reacting to someone but I can't hear what was said (ex: 22:13).

I have a friend that works for m&s corporate and apparently some people thought m&s was making an anti Palestine statement as the cards that got burnt were green, white & red. They then got mad because m&s released a statement saying of course that wasn't what they were doing, because that would be insane.
