Would you like to take a moment to apologize for the fact that, thanks to your mentioning it on the show recently, "Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation" has been revived, with the Baby Boomer team replaced with "Gen Z"?
Can you clarify if this is actually "the ultimate Aussie pub sin," and if not, what in y'alls' book would actually be the real ultimate pub sin <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/may/18/malcolm-turnbull-gets-the-finger-after-committing-the-ultimate-aussie-pub-sin?__twitter_impression=true" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/may/18/malcolm-turnbull-gets-the-finger-after-committing-the-ultimate-aussie-pub-sin?__twitter_impression=true</a>
A smaller American, lefty-feel-good story and kind of a call back to the union episode, but here in Oregon fast food chain workers basically started their own union from scratch. It's been an ugly war of attrition between the union and corporate (Burgerville), but they finally won their election. After the union won, corporate put out a full page ad in a newspaper about how proud they were to be the first fast food chain with a union, which is obvs hilarious and infuriating.
It is extremely important that you determine if this is real, or not real <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/8k0ztc/my_new_boyfriend_cannot_receive_a_blowjob_like_a/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/8k0ztc/my_new_boyfriend_cannot_receive_a_blowjob_like_a/</a>
As an American, my thoughts immediately turn to disrupting this lashing industry. My pitch: Flög (the ö makes it cooler), the corporal punishment sharing app when traditional methods just aren't getting the job done. "Michael really did a fantastic job. With each stroke, I could feel 0.3% of my sentence coming off, and it was painful, but you could tell he just cared. 5 stars." "James here, he hardly makes a face when the whip comes down. Doesn't make sense, because I'm no soy boy weakling. Clearly has some type of disorder. 1 star." Any thoughts on further development? Looking for angel investors. As an aside, love the pod!
Gotta talk about Israel son.
G’day cunts, most likely an extremely dumb question: where’s the podcast’s theme tune from? It sounds so familiar, but also so generic 80s/early 90s “feel good sitcom”.
Che’er’s big ears
Theo’s bio on twitter says he’s the third funniest member of the podcast. Who’s in last place?
You're tearing us apart
What are some of the best twitter posts of all time
Any controversial ideas for the Intellectual Dark Web the LAMEstream media is too afraid to listen to?
Can all the hosts take 20 seconds to all yell incoherently at white people calling the cops on black people who happen to be enjoying public spaces on their own? It's showing up in the timeline a lot this week and I'm too tired to keep going.
What are your favorite movie scores/soundtracks
The CFMEU charges being dropped would appear to be big news, especially the revelation that the law firm Freehills helped "redraft witness statements". <a href="https://twitter.com/alexanderwhite/status/996569555639009280" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/alexanderwhite/status/996569555639009280</a> According to her wiki page, this is Senator Cash's old law firm too.
I present to you a golden apple, written upon it is "to the one with the normalest brain". Which host is this apple for?
Are the constant "Do you hear/see/say X or Y?" articles and viral moments online that occur on an almost weekly basis the modern form of bread and circuses, distracting from the REAL issues like who should win the latest season of whatever reality tv show is on free-to-air at the moment?
who's the baddest boy (or girl) of free to air tv? who is the best at being cute but naughty?
I’m in the mood for some vituperative hatred of the Israeli government following their latest murder spree. Oh and closer to home Georgina Downer could do with a serve too - last thing we need is another IPA shithead in our parliament.
Following on from the 'Chockas' discussion from last episode, what is your least favourite Aussie slang expression and why?
Important geopolitical issues like the Royal Wedding. Or Korea. One of those.
I'm about to move to Melbourne. What are some good activist outfits down there I should get involved with/give money to?
