This week we have a conversation with Brent Lee of Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. Joel is joining the guys for their excellent deep dive episodes and the bromance has only just begun.

To get the ball rolling Brent and Joel sat down for an earnest chat about how cooked they were in previous years. We look at JFK, the moon landing, aliens, vaccines, big pharma, chemtrails, fluoride in the water and the big one - 9/11.

Brent reveals that he not only studied conspiracy theories but also created them using patterns and wild theories based on religious concepts. Joel expresses his experience with left leaning politicised conspiracy theories and they compare notes across the historical conspiracy universe.

It's a good chat. Worth a listen. Looking forward to more appearances from Brent and hopefully Neil in the future!

In the meantime - sub to their pod - it's in all the usual places. Neil's dive into covid/climate conspiracies is something I've wanted to cover for ages. It's very very good!

Enjoy!

The polling booths have opened and it is time for Australians to vote on the Voice. Will the polling be found right and the Yes case dismissed in big numbers or is there time for a late turnaround? HK Jack believes no and that the Albanese government got its processes and policies wrong.

As Dan wanders off into the sunlight, we discuss how quickly power slips.

Meanwhile in Tasmania, dysfunction is the order of the day as a minority government battles with the threat of a no confidence motion.

In the US, Biden leads Trump by five points in the most recent polls.

We discuss the mobile phone bans in classrooms and in the UK and ask, are adults worse than children when it comes to using their phones when they shouldn't?

In sport, we review the two GFs and preview the ODI World Cup in India. 

The Two Jacks discuss the rapid departure from public office. Why so sudden? If there were new disgraces or scandals they are yet to appear. It turned out this was more of a factional try on from Dan's S-L faction to sweep the leadership stakes. It didn't quite pan out but the S-L will never die wondering.

Support for The Voice continues to sink.

Josh Frydenberg officially bows out of politics.

In UK news, Russell Brand is under police investigation as JTI says that post Jimmy Savile, the jig is up and the shield celebrity no longer works.

The Donald faces a $250 million bill from the State of New York but it won't stop his candidacy as his polling against Biden continues to rise.

The two footy codes celebrate their grand final weeks while Rugby Union is in turmoil. 

Here's a preview of this weeks premium epiosde. From as little as five bucks a month! Don't make me get all weird and shame you like Dave Oneegs does - if you can't afford it, you just need to like want it more. Winners grindset bro.

If any of you are missing out because you're actually broke drop me a line and I'll send you a file. It's the honour system so don't tell me fibs!

Patrons! Thanks for your patience - this one took a couple weeks but I needed to get my evidence assignment done in a desperate week of losing hair and doing stuff. 

And we are back with another 'black label' episode of the utmost quality. Actually, my headphones screwed up not once but twice leaving it rather out of sync. Instead of re-recording or editing it properly with something like descript I've just mashed it all together and hoped for the best. I didn't want to leave any details out and wanted this to be released while it's still relevant. 

So we look at the cookerfest No rally in Sydney on Saturday that was basically just a festival of adoration for Guru and look at how trashy Lauren Boebert is. Very. 

Then we have an inevitable chat bout Russell Brand who is a massive sex pest and cooked idiot who is hiding behind his bullshit beliefs but likely in lots of trouble. 

Enjoy! 

Coke prices are too damn high! Who ya gonna call? The Albanian Mafia!

We're only half kidding. Australians are prepared to pay dumb amounts of money for coke - and that creates a special kind of market. When one of the poorest countries in Europe realises a bunch of ad execs in Sydney will pay 'through the nose' for a bag, well, they see opportunity.

The Comancheros might take issue to this, though. Through the price fixing mechanism referred to as 'the commission' a network of dealers and distributors are keeping prices high and enjoying the profits. With the wild margins on offer in Australia, they can source coke from places like Chicago instead of Columbia. Less guns. Less lunatics. More money.

Enter the Albanians. Wonder why people keep getting shot? Albanians. They are moving in and they want to take over the lucrative coke trade. A trail of bodies in their wake.

But will this lower the price of coke? If so, Joel is onboard.

Enjoy!

The Two Jacks discuss IR Minister Tony Burke's Amendments to the Fair Work Act which have gone through the House and awaiting approval in the Senate. What does it mean for workers generally?

Are employee groups right to be in a state of uproar over workplace changes? HK Jack believes the hype doesn't match the limited extent of the changes which he says can only be measured in years to come.

Employer groups are agitating for management to get their affairs in order especially around sexual harassment and wage privacy matters.

The Voice campaign goes further off the rails with both sides - Yes and No pushing people away.

In the US polling suggests Joe Biden is in big trouble. JTI points to the polling a year ahead of Barack Obama's re-election suggesting Biden is in a better place than Obama was.

In sport, we farewell a titan of Australian Rules Football, Ronald Dale Barassi.

As HK Jack emerges from a Hong kong typhoon, the Two Jacks discuss recent polling which shows just Tasmania in favour and all other states in the minority. Can the Voice still be saved? HK Jack says no, believing the process was flawed from the start.

Will a four day week become the new normal in the Australian employment landscape?

When should you politely say no to providing a character reference? The Two Jacks discuss the sentencing of Hollywood rapist, Danny Masterson and how Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher provided character references on Masterson after he was convicted of drugging and raping two women.

In sport, the Two Jacks preview the Rugby World Cup, the NRL finals series and the AFL where JTI's beloved Blues are into the semis. 

This week we look at how fucked Trump is and how he threw poor Eric under the bus (who found it quite nice under there).

In Maui we look at the utter tragedy that struck the island and the incredibly dumb shit that cookers have created around it. It's a laser. Blue houses were spared. Mountain Dew tried to warn us. It's very silly.

In SovCits Jack looks at some sheriffs who (allegedly) don't mind kiddie fiddlin' as long as it's their guys doing it.

And Pete goes back on the radio! If you thought Kyle and Jackie-O were shit, wait till you see how shit Hughesy and Erin are. Wow. They suck.

Enjoy!

Apologies for the delay on this one guys - been battling some annoying health issues which include 'fatigue' and 'brain fog'. And no, it's not the vaccine! Or a tumour!

Joel has a chat with Sam about CPAC. It was predictably shit but Sam bothered to wade through the mangroves and find out specifically why it was shit. The crossover collab with nazis is becoming very much part of the regular programming now and for some reason Warren Mundine thinks it's a wise idea to stand with these people. Just bizarre.

Enjoy!

As a typhoon lashes Hong Kong, the Two Jacks discuss the reputational harm suffered by the national carrier as Alan Joyce wanders out the door. And what of the decision to reject the Qatar Airways bid? Is the Transport Minister carrying the can for an Albo captain's pick? One thing is for sure, the decision didn't go to cabinet and it should have.

There are calls to televise Donald Trump's Georgia RICO trial which will leave networks salivating.

You can still catch a bus from Ukraine to Moscow. And in a huge week in sports, HK Jack tips the Swans while JTI's heart and head says the Blues will win.
