The Conditional Release Program

The Two Jacks argue over the Albanese government's proposed misinformation bill. JTI explains the background to Sydney's bloody gangland war.

The coup in Niger threatens to turn violent with the country's neighbours imposing sanctions and closing border.

South Africa veers further into a gangster state. In sport, the Matildas move into the qualifying rounds with a 4-0 win over Canada, playing to huge TV audiences.

The Ashes wraps up even stevens after two months of great cricket. 

Note from Joel: We love hosting TT on our feed because the girls are absolutely part of the TCRP family. But if you get it from their feed it helps bump them up the itunes/podcast charts and become a force of their own. They regularly beat us! Feel free to grab it here but search for 'tinfoil tales' on your podcast app to get it from the source.

Also, this episode kicks arse. Everyone's fawning over the QAA take but this has stuff they didn't cover. Important stuff. It's very, very good.

------------------------------------

*This episode comes with a SPOILER ALERT!

Grab your popcorn... Let’s talk about Sound of Freedom.

SOS and Sandee take a look at the movie that’s sweeping the freedom world - is it any good? Who loves it? Who thinks it’s a psyop?

And more importantly, who’s Tim Ballard, and why’s he got so much money?

It's time to tell the tale of MEGA FREEDOM where Donna puts on a freedom fest and people use this newfound agency to not turn up.

Did they go to Bello Markets or is there something more sinister (pointlessly dramatic) at play?

Either way - it was shit. But the strong presence of The Light newspaper (sorry, truthpaper) is a very interesting sign of what's to come.

Big thanks to Isaac, Jess and Georgia who made this possible!

Enjoy!

It's a news week this one - and it's time to bitch about Dan Andrews. Should he be jailed for cancelling the commonwealth games? Well, according to some. The call to cancel the games was a good one, but was it for reasons he kinda created? Sorta? Maybe. Kinda. Yeah.

Maria Zee thinks the money will be spent elsewhere. What she says is fun and totally reasonable.

Then we move on to the ACMA combatting misinformation and disinformation bill 2023. Will this result in people being thrown in jail for going against 'the narrative' (whatever that is)? No.

The cookers, including our cooked senators (you know who I mean) are up in arms about this disinfo bill for reasons that aren't in the bill. If you're surprised by this then you're not paying attention. The bill is ironically necessary for a lot of the takes on telegram but also somewhat ironically those takes which are absolutely disinformation wouldn't pass the bar set in the legislation to be actionable by ACMA and/or the courts.

And then Pete gets uncancelled by Kyle and Jackie-O who did literally no research on why he was cancelled before he came on. Old Parachute Pete gets another free pass and a bunch of promotion for his evolve retreats. Great!

Last but not least, huge thankyou to everyone who has donated so far to the vanuatu fund.

Fundraiser will continue for a couple weeks and we've had some very big generous donations coming in - but a few bucks, even a fiver or a tenner will help make a difference. Thanks legends!

Victoria will not host the Commonwealth Games in 2026. The decision had to be made as costs were always going to be extraordinary but is it a sign of a government out of control or perhaps being controlled centrally?

The Fadden by-election - does the result mean anything? No.

The Voice is on shaky ground according to polls.

Speaking of Poles (sort of), Poland is emerging as a significant military power since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile in sport, rain washes away England's salty tears as Australia retains the Ashes. 

This episode was recorded after Joel spent eight hours on a train heading up to Coffs for Mega Freedom. He clearly spent most of it drinking.

Jack manages to stop the entire podcast being about comparing Dimitry Utkin's penis to Hunter Biden's and the jury is out on whether that's a good thing.

The recent insurrection in Russia by the Wagner PMC and their founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has prompted a lot of curiosity about the group. We have a look at their purpose and past as pillagers of poor nations and perpetrators of war crimes.

And don't forget to give early and give often to Rob's mate Joe in Vanuatu.

In this episode, SOS and Sandee delve into the antics of audacious doctor William Bay, who fell down the rabbit hole and threw away his medical career for the cause of "freedom" from vaccines and for his new-found love of God (and he really loves the attention!).

So. Much. Winning!!!

But how far is he willing to go?

The NSW ICAC finds that former premier Gladys Berejikilian was found to have engaged in "serious corrupt conduct" but no criminal charges will be brought. Does the ICAC need to redefine what is and isn't corruption? 

The Australian government beefs up ACMA to fine platforms who publish misinfo.

The French hit the streets after the police shooting of a boy in the worst civil disruption in the country in 20 years.

The SCOTUS permits discrimination in one judgement but prohibits affirmative action in tertiary institutions.

And yes, we get to Johnny Bairstow's stumping. Not only was he out, he was guilty of stupidity. 

In breaking news, former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct by the ICAC but the anti-corruption body has stated she should not face criminal charges.

Vale Simon Crean, a great Labor man.

How long does Wagner Group's Yevgeny Progozhin have to live? The Two Jacks won't be selling him any life insurance.

Elections in Greece deliver Kyriakos Mitsotakis majority government while in Sierra Leone, Julius Bio wins re-election, one of Africa's great reformers.

In sport, the Two Jack's discuss the possibility of a mixed cricket Test with one listener providing his best eleven from the men's and women's Test sides. 

It has been a bloody huge week on the fringe.

Veteran journo Ross Coulthart of 60 minutes fame jumps on the UAP bandwagon. But are they aliens or is this just an elaborate psyop? If you're a listener, you probably already know the answer.

We look at a hot tip from friend of the podcast Guy who linked us to a guardian article about the ARC - Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. Sounds like newspeak huh. It's a weird brainfart of JBP and it sucks.

In cooker update we look at some recent 'died suddenly' nonsense including a ridiculous circular claim by an antivaxxer that Warnie died from the jab. Joel grew up with Shane Warne and Jack grew old with Shane Warne and we both want nothing to do with this shit. Stay the f**k away from Warnie!

And Pete ponders what great things will come from RFK Jr. spreading disinformation about vaccines. Probably as effective as your bubba yum yum broth mate.

Enjoy!
