You Cannot Be Serious

00:00 You can't be serious, man. You cannot be serious! 00:06 Well, usually I do a couple of parts to this podcast. You cannot be serious with the duck, Wayne Carey. 00:13 But for some amazing reason, the internet doesn't work over here in most of Europe. 00:26 We can't get hold of him again, can't call him back. 00:31 Isn't that extraordinary? I'm here in Calabria, in southern Italy, and so I'm going to finish off what I was going to speak to him about. He's probably glad he's not going to be part of this conversation. No, he's not. He loves this. 00:46 First of all, I have no idea who's going to... News is so scared. I have no idea who's going to make the finals in the AFL. I tell you who's not going to make the finals. 00:58 That's North Melbourne and Essendon and the West Coast Eagles and Richmond and St Kilda and Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast Suns And Greater West Sydney, they're not going to make the finals. I don't know how many finals there are. There's still eight, or there's the new rule come in where ten sides make the finals. Soon everyone will make the finals, and we'll just have a playoff around Robin, and then we'll have penalty shootouts. 01:30 They'll make something up. 01:33 Then I have no interest in trying to predict, because it's just a quaint award anyhow, at the Bradley Middle. 01:41 How overrated can you get an award? No, seriously. 01:45 Not decrying or no detriment to the people who've won it. 01:50 And this year the umpires, they have to collaborate after the game and go through the stats and see if the people they thought were playing well were actually playing well, which I presume means how many possessions you get. 02:05 I presume that's what it means. 02:07 Could you devalue a tried and trued and proven award, which is a great start to the final, a grand final, that week? 02:19 But... 02:21 Could you tamper around with it anymore to make it legitimate? Well, because it's not legitimate in the first place, because do you know who gives the votes? 02:29 You know who gives the votes in the Brownlow? So then, what was I going to speak to him about? 02:36 I was going to speak to him about... 02:41 How are you going with the country you live in and the state? I see. I think the illegitimate Premier of Victoria running the Pol Pot government is going to get sacked or resign or maybe have a spill against her. Would it matter? 03:02 Would it matter? 03:04 And then we have that little curmudgeon. A curmudgeon. You know what a curmudgeon is? Look up, curmudgeon. And there might be a photograph of this man beside the word. 03:13 The Prime Minister, Ainul. 03:15 He's taken, apparently, news is very, very scant about Australia over here on the other side of the world, but he's apparently taken a donation of a million dollars from a man from China, a Chinaman. 03:30 And that particular China man's firm or part of it is allegedly owes the best part of $300 million in back taxes. I don't know. 03:43 That's the news that comes through. You know how you can't believe everything on X or on Twitter or on social media. But that's what it says. 03:53 That's what it says. 03:55 And he went to the fundraising gig. 03:58 After they'd given him a million, donated, he went to the fundraising gig. Which is strange because he couldn't go to the, now look, I mentioned this last week, the Gama Festival, which is an indigenous festival. Shows, they have workshops about enlightenment and DEI and all that nonsense. And he couldn't go to the Gama festival, the indigenous festival, having said, sworn on a pack of Bibles, a stack, in fact, of Bibles. He said, I'll be going to that while I'm the Prime Minister. 04:31 Well, either he knows something that he's not going to be the Prime Minister when the Garma Festival comes around, or he has told a fib. Oh, no. He wouldn't have told a fib, would he? 04:42 So he said he was sick. 04:45 And he's making Australia sick. We're sick and tired of this nonsense. 04:50 But the Garma people will be bemused that he's going to the Chinese fundraiser. 04:58 having just been given a million dollars. I don't know if any of that's true. That's what it says on the socials. I'm only just reading between the lines. And then, ahead of the curve, I don't know, I've been doing this about the Victorian government and the state government for four or five years. Certainly the state government since COVID in 2020, I've told you exactly how the government's going, but Now that it seems likely to happen that the government is in trouble, people have jumped on and said, oh, no, they're no good and they've got to go and they're dishonest and they're corrupt. 05:36 I've been saying this for five years. 05:39 But people have shied away from that because they think, oh, no, we don't want to stir up any trouble there. And suddenly everyone's stirring up trouble. 05:48 And then suddenly Pauline Hanson. Now... You know she's going well when all the socialists and all the people who love spending other people's money are jumping on her and trying to smear her. I see a poll. Polls, you know, they say, oh, the only poll is the one that counts, you know, that is if you are a registered voter and you haven't answered and you're still alive and you haven't stacked the electoral rolls. 06:17 They said she would win 66 seats in the house. 66 seats. That's amazing for people who say she's not relevant. And she's making outlandish statements. What tell you the statements she's making? The ones that resonate with about 80% of the population. And the other 20% are just desperately hoping that their jobs will be saved because... 06:41 They're in the public service of this dystopian media that they pretend they're part of, and they shout at one another in their own little inner bubble, and they all bunk each other up by saying, oh, isn't she shocking, and all that sort of stuff. It's a bit like Trump. Now, let me tell you about Trump. 07:01 Let me tell you about Trump. Anthony Fauci. Do you remember Anthony Fauci? He would be... 07:09 They would be just like bedfellows Anthony Fauci and Dan Andrews, the former premier of Victoria. Because Anthony Fauci said if you get the injection, the inoculation for COVID, you'll never get it. And Dan said, oh, he closed Victoria down, threw it under the bus and it's never recovered and it probably won't for the next decade. But he, Fauci, has suddenly found out to be, wait for this, a liar. 07:42 They've gone through all these emails that he sent to people and they've gone through his bank accounts and found just how much money he's made out of the pandemic. 07:52 And so he's in trouble and wait for this. Did you know, did you realise that after six investigations on Donald Trump about the Russian collusion, the Russian collusion extravaganza that went on, you know, they said Putin helped... 08:10 Trump win the first election in 2016. They have found out. 08:17 Because all the rats, again, jump in. I said this three years ago. Listen to these names. I know them off by heart. These were people who were indicted or charged with perjury in the Obama administration. Obama, the most racist and incompetent president ever. And he ordered these people, it's just come out now because they're squealing like stuck hogs, like pigs, like swine who've got syphilis. 08:53 He asked them, to further the case and see if you could make it about Trump colluding with Russia to win the election. After six investigations, they found out nothing of it was the truth, nothing at all had any factual backing to it. And these are the people who are now squealing. They are saying, well, they were ordered to buy... 09:20 If you don't know these names, it means you're not paying attention, but that doesn't matter. I'll pay attention for you. These are the people who were indicted or charged with perjury under the Obama administration. 09:33 Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Holder, Lynch... 09:41 Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Holden, Lynch, Page, Rice, Strzok, Orr, McCabe and Yates. Eight of them. They all lied about the Russian collusion exit. They tapped Donald Trump's phone. He's won the first election in 2016. So much evidence that he won the second election and of course he won the third election because he did what he said he'd do. He made a whole lot of promises during his electioneering campaign. 10:14 and he stuck to every one of them and if you're saying he said I'll never start a war he did say in the first place that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon and when that became apparent they are making a nuclear weapon he said no I said they won't have a nuclear weapon so he's taken action to make sure that they don't and he's continuing that action other than that he is stuck to every single promise he has made And he's the best performer and statesman you'll ever see, and you should feel fortunate you live in an era when Donald Trump was running the free world. 10:49 Now, I notice also, I notice also, the wheel. Do you remember the wheel, the Melbourne wheel that's laid dormant for five years over by the Docklands somewhere? 11:03 They're going to reintroduce that. It's going to spin again. 11:07 I tell you, Why would you do that? Why don't you just... For a start, I don't know about the due diligence who built it in the first place, but apparently it was built with Chinese steel. That's what I'm told. That's what is on the public record. And the steel, of course, was of second-grade quality. And during a hot day, a couple of hot days in a row, the wheel melted. So they pulled it down and they had to repair it. And they've repaired it after five years... 11:38 And now they're going to start it up again. Why? Why would you bother? Who is going to? All the leaseholders who bought properties and shops out there thinking the huge volume of traffic would give them some business out there. They've all been dudded. They haven't been compensated for the fact the wheel wasn't a go and has ceased to function. Why wouldn't they call Sims Metal in and dismantle it and sell it for scrap? Or, if you wanted to do it, move it to some area where when it spins it overlooks something that's attractive, other than the docks and the railway yards and the industrial hub over in the western suburbs somewhere. 12:23 Why would you spend money doing that? You can do something else. If we could start another commission or another treaty for the Aboriginal folk, we could give them another handout so that they could get jobs doing nothing, doing absolutely nothing, irrelevant for 98% of the population. And we've just become an Aboriginal reserve. 12:47 Victoria has, and that's all we do. 12:50 So that's about it. That's what I was going to say. I was going to read out the duck's tips. 12:56 The duck's tips about... 13:02 I'll tell you what they're no good at over here in Europe is televising sport. They televise tennis on a static camera. You can see the bloke hitting the ball up in the front of the camera and the bloke who's receiving it, you can't even see the ball come off his racket. You just have to wait for the umpire to give it. And soccer. 13:23 I think they televised soccer from a satellite. You can't see the ball go around. Who's passing it? You don't see any of the facial expressions. So maybe we could teach them a lesson on how to... 13:38 televised sport as long as when the combatants come to shake hands they have the camera on the actual faces of the combatants not on the ridiculous people in the crowd who are shouting and yahooing or their support staff just keep it on the people who make the game go around so these are the ducks tips the ducks tips for the next round of football I have no idea what round it is but these are the sides that are playing next week and he tips Geelong to beat Collingwood Fremantle to beat the Bulldogs. 14:12 St Kilda to lose to the Sydney Swans. 14:17 Hawthorne to beat North Melbourne. 14:21 Port Adelaide to beat Greater West Sydney. 14:25 Carlton to beat Brisbane. There's an upset. 14:29 I tend to agree with him but who knows. Richmond. 14:33 to beat the West Coast Eagles. Could Richmond possibly beat the West Coast Eagles? At some stage, you've got to fluke a win. You've got to fluke, you've just got to actually, the more shots you have at gold, most of them are going to go through and you think at the end of the day, gee, we've won by a goal because we kicked accurately. Probably won't happen, but Richmond, Gold Coast versus Melbourne, he's going for Melbourne. 14:54 Essendon and the Crows. Now, Essendon. 15:02 Essendon have never recovered from the most disgraceful episode in the history of the AFL, and that's the drug saga. It doesn't matter if they made the finals after that. They've lost so much credibility. They've lost coach after coach. 15:15 And Jimmy Hurd, is he going to be the coach? Who knows? But if they do, someone might boo him because we're not allowed to boo anymore. Have you heard? We had that discussion in part one. You're not allowed to boo anyone. Oh, you've frowned on. Good question. 15:29 In this day of freedom of speech, that's not even speech. That's just an utterance coming out of your mouth. You're still not to do that. I wonder if they'll stop belching or snorting or sneezing. 15:40 That's the world we live in. It's going to hell in a handbasket. Anyhow, that's it. Sorry that the duck is not part of this, but that's the way the internet works on this side of the world. From You Cannot Be Serious.
