158: I could be held over a barrel
Dec 13, 2023 Episode 158
Lee Miller and Simon Ellis

Lee and Simon don't quite talk about bribery and corruption, and instead think through if the world is uniquely crazy in this moment.

Some other details: Simon is gifted an advent calendar; being bribed and/or blackmailed; John Wick (pre-emptive revenge); illegal Russian websites; how shit the weather has been; how small human beings are; the wonkiness of the world; Simon's clunk on 9/11 (and not quite censoring the thought); the 24 hour news cycle; Martin Luther's 95 theses (in 31 October 1517); emergence of a Protestant Church; German accents (and a bit of German itself); JFK calling himself a doughnut; the telegraph and the historical slowness of communications; queques (Portuguese lemon-orange cakes); being content creators; closing the lid when flushing; fecal plumes; and a big apology for the poo talk at the end.
