00:13Hello and welcome to The Weekly. I am Charlie Pickering. We have a packed show for you tonight.
00:18Comedian scout Boxall will delve into St Patrick's Day. ABC lawyers try to shut down politics
00:23podcaster Conrad Benjamin. And from Flight of the Conchords, Oscar winner Brett McKenzie.
00:29Yeah. And as always, we've watched all the news so that you don't have to. So let's kick
00:37things off with the week. We begin with Thursday and Operation Epstein forgets, sorry, Epic Fury.
00:47And the resulting fuel crisis has hit home in the most Australian way possible.
00:53The fact that Bunnings ran out at jerrycans.
00:55Jerry cans running out the door at Bunnings. Little jerry cans being put in people's boots
01:01are causing a crisis. Very few jerry cans left behind in Bunnings. I've seen on Facebook
01:06marketplace people selling jerry cans of fuel at inflated prices. That is dangerous. You know
01:12you're in a fuel crisis when the energy minister is casually browsing petrol on Facebook marketplace.
01:21But with petrol prices in some areas cracking $4 a litre, experts warned we could be looking
01:28down the oil barrel of some drastic measures. Fresh concerns tonight about Australia's fuel
01:33supply with revelations our backup reserves would last only one month. Experts are warning
01:39Australia may have to impose fuel rationing. The Middle East crisis continues to disrupt.
01:44It has happened before we had in the 70s. We had, for example, cars with number plates
01:50that ended in an even number would be one day, and then cars that ended with an odd number
01:55the other day. And people with personalised number plates were banned from driving altogether
02:01and locked in an old fridge, as it should be. To Friday and the administration would have
02:08us believe everything's fine.
02:10The US president sounding much more upbeat than the global markets, even telling oil
02:15companies they should be sailing through Hormuz.
02:18Yeah, I think they should. I think they should.
02:21Here's exactly what he said. These ships should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some
02:25guts. The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping.
02:30It is open for transit should Iran not do that.
02:33Amen. Amen. And the only thing wrong with Jurassic Park right now is the escaped dinosaurs.
02:40It is perfectly safe to visit should they stop eating everybody.
02:46But the problem for Trump is that the oil still isn't getting through. So now, having started
02:52a mess that nobody asked for, he's begging the rest of the world to help get him out of
02:57it.
02:57The US president has called on a host of foreign nations to send warships to help secure the
03:03Strait of Hormuz.
03:04Hopefully, China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others that are affected by this
03:10artificial constraint will send ships to the area.
03:13They should come and they should help us.
03:21Yeah. Yeah, you could. You could. You could. You could even make the case that from the
03:26very beginning, this whole thing was an entirely foreseeable and unnecessary self-harming, unmitigated
03:31moronic clusterf***er.
03:40Now, America's allies have a proud history of joining its moronic clusterf***s, but this
03:46time, not so much.
03:48United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Australia declined to send warships to escort commercial
03:53vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
03:55We're hearing near universal refusal.
03:58Have you been speaking with the French president, Macron, about the coalition to reopen the Strait
04:04of Hormuz?
04:04Yeah, I have. I have spoken to him. He's been on a scale of zero to 10. I'd say he's
04:13been
04:13an eight. Not perfect, but it's France. You don't expect perfect.
04:21Mm, but as I always say, never let the perfect get in the way of a flaming bag of dog
04:26-merd.
04:27LAUGHTER
04:28So, with nobody coming to Trump's thrills, kills and oil spills party, there's only one
04:34more thing left to do. Tell everyone the party's already finished, you missed it, and it was
04:39awesome.
04:40We've won. Let me tell you, we've won. You know, you never like to say too early you won.
04:45We won. We won the bet. In the first hour, it was over.
04:48Epic Fury!
04:54Is that a great name?
04:55Yeah, we won, baby. Epic Fury. The war is over.
04:58Yeah, the only thing for Trump to do now is distract us from the war by re-releasing the
05:03Epstein files.
05:06APPLAUSE
05:10To Saturday, and Australians continued to stockpile fuel amid panic buying not seen since the great
05:16toilet paper rush of 2020.
05:18Because when it comes to the crisis hoarding habits of Australians, they love filling up
05:23the tank and emptying the tank.
05:26This follows recent questions in Parliament where Senator David Pocock asked why Australia
05:31is getting less money from taxes on oil and gas exports than we do from beer, an issue I've
05:37avoided by only drinking Valvoline. And my mechanic says that my crankshaft has never run so smoothly.
05:45LAUGHTER
05:47So why is this happening? Someone who might have the answer is my next guest, who has built
05:53a huge audience online explaining Australian politics in plain English. He's the creator
05:58of Punta's Politics, where hundreds of thousands of people watch his videos unpacking how government
06:03decisions actually affect Australians.
06:06So we're going to keep giving your gas for free.
06:09Please welcome Conrad Benjamin.
06:13APPLAUSE
06:15Conrad, great to have you here. Now, you used to be a school teacher. How do you go from
06:21that to a politics podcast with half a million subscribers?
06:24Well, it started pretty small. I was making TikToks about how foreign fossil fuel companies
06:30get a way better deal on our natural resources than we regular Aussie punters. Yeah, and then
06:36it kind of just blew up from there.
06:38Now, this is your first time on the ABC, and a lot of people wouldn't realise that, unlike
06:42social media, a lot of preparation actually goes into coming on the national broadcaster.
06:48Let's take a look.
06:50Well, welcome to the ABC, Conrad.
06:53Now, we're really trying to grow our younger audience, and figured the best way to do that
06:56was to get a social media star with half a million Instagram followers on the show.
07:01Well, you make fun of politics on TV, I make fun of politics online. I think it's a good
07:05fit.
07:05You know, we actually have quite a young audience. The youngest of any other show on the network.
07:09Really? What's the average age?
07:11Well, don't want to brag, but 72.
07:15Wow. That is young.
07:16Mm. Now, before we get started, you're just going to have a chat with the lawyers, because
07:21we've got editorial policies, then the charter, and defamation laws. Oh, one more thing.
07:28No advertising. Anyway, let's get him.
07:31Morning, Nick.
07:32Mr Pickering.
07:33This is Conrad Benjamin from Punter's Politics. It's a website on the internet.
07:40I was wondering if you could just run him through the content guidelines.
07:43Yeah, absolutely.
07:44Great.
07:45Now, Mr Benjamin, what will you be discussing on Mr Pickering's show?
07:49Okay, I would love to talk about how Australia's failed gas policy is costing us billions of
07:56dollars, because our corrupt politicians, who make the rules, go and work as lobbyists
08:01for...
08:01No.
08:03What if you said certain policies, which may or may not relate to fossil fuels, may or may
08:09not have reduced what sources describe as revenue?
08:12That doesn't mean anything.
08:14Exactly.
08:15Okay, but we get more tax from our beer than we get from our gas, because in Norway, they
08:20actually sell their oil, and all the money goes into a sovereign farm that Norwegian citizens
08:24get benefit from.
08:25But in Australia, we give half our gas away for free.
08:27No.
08:28That's a pretty strong rhetoric.
08:30Is this how old media works?
08:31Well, there are some benefits of being at the ABC. I mean, when I say something, you know
08:36it's verified. Whereas if I was on the internet, I could be next to some sovereign citizen
08:40who's telling everyone that 5G is turning the frogs gay.
08:43True. That is a risk. But okay, what about this? Australia's gas revenue generates $2 billion
08:49a year, but Qatar generates $76 billion a year, despite us exporting more gas than that.
08:55No.
08:55Reports claim that Australia's gas exports have been known to generate $2 billion, but
09:00a country that critics describe as Qatar may have generated $76 billion, which, according
09:05to certain metrics, is more.
09:09But that's not the point I'm trying to make.
09:11But it is a point, and it has been made.
09:14What about politicians rig the rules?
09:18Allegedly.
09:18Then become lobbyists?
09:20Reportedly.
09:20Work in the same industry?
09:22Extensively.
09:22That they're meant to be regulating?
09:24Presumably.
09:26Clearly that's corruption.
09:28According to some.
09:29Maybe the reason why these problems never get fixed is because old media don't tell you
09:36what's actually going on.
09:37As long as that's your opinion and not that of the national broadcaster.
09:41I love it.
09:43Is 5G turning frogs gay?
09:51So, given all of that, how are you?
09:55Um, according to reports, Charlie, I'm well.
10:03And would you please thank Conrad Benjamin!
10:11Coming up, one half of Flight of the Conchords and Oscar-winning songwriter Brett McKenzie
10:15joins me at the desk.
10:16And as we mop up after St Patrick's Day, Scout Boxall asks, are we celebrating the right saints?
10:22But first, with the rise of TikTok and AI, it's getting harder than ever to get young people
10:27interested in Australian history.
10:29Thankfully, there's one former PM with plenty of riz to get Gen Z racing to the library.
10:35The Weekly is proud to present another instalment of Tony Abbott's Australia.
10:40In a brand new historical travel show from Sky News, former Prime Minister and patriot Tony
10:47Abbott explores the origins of this great nation in Tony Abbott's Australia.
10:53I mean, Australia, a history.
10:56Tony Abbott is an Australian patriot who writes for hours each day about our great country.
11:02It takes so long because he only uses two fingers and says every single word out loud.
11:09Brought a vast influx of immigrants from all over the world.
11:13Which really annoys his wife, who's trying to read in the next room.
11:17Tony, would you shut up?
11:21Abbott's Australia.
11:23In the afternoon, Tony heads out to a local school to ask young people about Australia.
11:29But unfortunately, they weren't very responsive.
11:32How important is migration to Australia?
11:34Who wants to offer a thought on that?
11:43What was the significance of Anzac Day?
11:49After no responses, it was time to wrap it up and grab a photo.
11:53Oh no!
11:54Tomo's Dak Macca!
11:58Abbott's Australia.
12:00This week, Tony decided to chat about his book with some 20-something year old women.
12:05I'm taking tea with three 20-something year old women.
12:09Tony, I'd love to hear about your book.
12:11Well, thanks, Brie.
12:12Brie is being held at gunpoint, and they do ask that question, but it doesn't stop Tony banging on.
12:17This book is designed to give people a chance to know more.
12:21And if you'd like a copy of Tony's book, please buy one today, and hopefully they'll let Brie live.
12:33To Sunday, and Rabbitohs fans were still celebrating after South Sydney winger Alex Johnston made history.
12:39In the 41st minute, 40 metres out, it's the try that rewrote the record books.
12:45Johnston for the corner!
12:47Johnston for history!
12:492-13!
12:51Alex Johnston has done it!
12:53Alex Johnston crowned the NRL's all-time leading try scorer.
12:58A moment the game will never forget!
13:01Thousands of supporters defying the threat of fines, stadium bans and arrest.
13:07One of the happiest, Anthony Albanese.
13:10How was that, Prime Minister?
13:12What a fantastic moment!
13:13Marking the second time this week that Albo got involved in an unsanctioned invasion.
13:20And while the PM was ecstatic, not everybody was happy.
13:27Is that the Prime Minister?
13:28Prime Minister!
13:29What's the Prime Minister doing on the field?
13:31Oh.
13:31Oh, if he's going to make this moment about him, ladies and gentlemen, look, I've made no secret of the
13:37fact that I don't think he's a very good Prime Minister,
13:38but now's not the time to be talking politics.
13:40And the fact that we are talking about this means that it overshadows what the night has been about, and
13:47that is Alex Johnston.
13:48Shame on you, Prime Minister. Shame on you.
13:50Lady.
13:51Yes, shame on you, Prime Minister.
13:53Now, can we please get back to this historic moment?
13:57You're going to keep going, aren't you?
13:58I know I'm harping on this, but where's the Prime Minister going?
14:01We've said all week, don't let anyone on the field ban them from the games and fine them five and
14:05a half grand.
14:07And what, he wanders on as if he's some sort of martyr?
14:09Ah, the martyr St. Albo the Pitch Invader.
14:14Patron saint of bandwagons.
14:17Why can't we all be a little more like Johnston's coach, Wayne Bennett, who could barely contain his excitement?
14:23Wayne, a huge night in rugby league history.
14:27Can you just talk us through your emotions seeing a man that you've coached and respected for so long, breaking
14:32Ken Irvine's record?
14:35Well, I've said a fair bit about it.
14:38And I hate repeating myself, so let's move on.
14:44Stop it, Wayne.
14:46I'm tearing up.
14:48Still to come, who was St. Patrick and why was he always pissed on March 17th?
14:54Our patron saint of instant experts, Scout Boxall, has the answers.
14:57But first, tonight's guest is one half of Flight of the Conchords, an Academy Award winning songwriter
15:03whose music has been performed by everyone from Kermit the Frog to Celine Dion.
15:08He's just released his new album, Freak Out City.
15:10Would you please welcome Brett McKenzie?
15:16Welcome.
15:17Thanks, Charlie.
15:18It is great to have you here.
15:19Now, we just had the Oscars a couple of days ago.
15:24You are an Oscar winner.
15:26Yeah, I was lucky I got to win one.
15:27Now, I was reading in the papers that this year the Best Director and Best Actor nominees got goodie bags
15:33worth half a million dollars.
15:35When you were nominated, what was in your goodie bag?
15:38There was a fruit basket.
15:41Yeah, didn't get that, but still, such a fun night.
15:46I mean, it's so surreal.
15:48It's like you're in Madame Tussauds, but everyone's alive moving around.
15:52You know what?
15:53It was cool.
15:53It was so fun.
15:54I've had a very similar experience.
15:55I don't know if you've heard of The Logies.
15:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:58Now, you just released your album, Freak Out City, and you are touring Australia with that album, with your band.
16:04The State Highway Wonders.
16:06That's it.
16:07Yeah, just got to town today, so start the tour tomorrow.
16:09Now, when you embark on solo music shows, is it hard for the audience to not be waiting for jokes?
16:16It is a little bit.
16:17They're a bit confused about what's he up to.
16:18But when I start talking between the songs, I tend to start goofing around because I can't help myself.
16:23So then they kind of relax and get used to it.
16:25And I kind of, it's interesting.
16:27I sort of figured out, it was almost working with the Muppets.
16:29So I figured out that you can go from funny stuff into sincere, emotional stuff.
16:35And actually, as long as you guide the audience through it, it's kind of cool.
16:39That is amazing.
16:40That's kind of what I do, yeah.
16:41So, yeah, it's just what you do.
16:42That's my thing.
16:42It's just, I kind of do that Muppet shit.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Now, you and Jermaine are getting back together as Flight of the Conchords for a show in May.
16:51Did you use the same mediators as the Gallagher brothers to get together?
16:56Yeah, it's a big reunion.
16:58Big New Zealand.
16:58We're New Zealand's oasis.
17:00Yeah, it's super fun.
17:01We just started rehearsing this week.
17:02And trying to, yeah, we haven't done a show in eight years, which is crazy.
17:07So how hard has it been to get back in there and get it back together?
17:10Pretty hard.
17:10Pretty ridiculous.
17:11Like, we were practising a song, we have a song that's like a story called Jenny, where
17:15two people meet and they talk about how they met.
17:17And we were singing along to each other.
17:21And then we got to a point where we're like, I'm not sure what happens now.
17:23Do you know what happens now?
17:24And he's like, I don't know what happens now either.
17:26So then we pull up the YouTube clip and watch ourselves.
17:32We're like, I mean, talk about Muppets.
17:35Yeah.
17:37So I've got to ask, when you are playing, like, a gig at the Hollywood Bowl,
17:41which is about as big a gig as you can play.
17:44Pretty big, yeah.
17:45You started in tiny rooms of, like, 30 people in Wellington and then playing gigs like that.
17:51How does that even work?
17:53What's strange is the joke or the idea that works.
17:56Like, so a lot of those songs we wrote in a flat and we'd test them on our flatmates.
17:59And the flatmates would laugh at the joke some bit.
18:03And then other bits, they'd be like, oh, this bit's a bit boring.
18:05And then suddenly you've got 15,000 people, but the weird thing is they're just laughing
18:08or they're responding to the same bit that your flatmates laughed at.
18:12So it's so weird.
18:13You're playing the same song, but instead you've got...
18:15And the same joke.
18:16And the same bit that this bit doesn't really work still doesn't work.
18:21Well, enough of it works to bring you all around the world and back to our shores.
18:25We are so happy to have you back in the country.
18:27That's great to be in Australia, yeah.
18:28You can catch Brett touring his album Freak Out City in cities all around Australia.
18:32Would you please thank Brett McKenzie?
18:34Thanks, Charlie.
18:35Thanks for coming, mate.
18:39Let's head into Monday, and it was time for new leadership
18:42after David Littleproud's unexpected resignation from the Nationals.
18:46Breaking news on David Littleproud, who has just resigned as leader of the National Party.
18:52David Littleproud saying only that he is buggered.
18:55I'm buggered.
18:56I'm buggered.
18:57I don't have enough.
18:57And, sir, a grateful nation thanks you for your buggery.
19:01So this week, the Nationals' energetic, fresh face,
19:06and thoroughly un-buggered new leader Matt Canavan addressed the media
19:10to pitch his bold vision for Australia.
19:13All we need to do to revive our great nation is to have more Australia.
19:20We need to have more Australian farming, more Australian manufacturing,
19:25more Australian jobs.
19:26We need to have more Australian everything.
19:28We need more Australian humour, more Australian jokes.
19:31We need more Australian barbecues.
19:33We need more Australian babies.
19:34Mmm, more barbecues and more babies.
19:37You can read about it in the Nationals' policy white paper,
19:40Cook Snags and Raw Dogs.
19:47Monday also saw the 98th Academy Awards,
19:51where the big winners were One Battle After Another and Sinners.
19:54But some have expressed their disappointment
19:57that actors such as James Van Der Beek and Bridget Bardot
20:00were amongst those left out of the annual in-memoriam.
20:04Incredibly, these weren't the Oscars' only shameful omissions,
20:08as they also forgot a stunning but sadly short-lived cinematic debut.
20:13Tonight, The Weekly is proud to right the academies wrong,
20:16as we honour a promising movie career cut short,
20:19tragically over, far too soon.
20:48Did you watch it?
20:49I did not.
21:05To Tuesday and St. Patrick's Day,
21:08a day of green rivers, green hats and green shamrock waffles,
21:12the only food that looks better when it comes back up.
21:16Am I missing something?
21:18Any messages for people in TV land?
21:20Hi, Mum!
21:21Hi, Mum!
21:22Get drunk!
21:23Of course, the unbridled workday alcoholism.
21:27In Boston, things were a little more sedate.
21:30Police say most of the day was peaceful.
21:32However, they did make 17 arrests.
21:34Ah, St. Patrick's Day is the perfect day
21:36to celebrate being 2% Irish and 98% Guinness.
21:39LAUGHTER
21:40Personally, I don't buy into those over-commercialised,
21:43offensive, top-of-de-morning-to-you stereotypes.
21:46For me, St. Patrick's Day is about a holy hero
21:50chasing those nasty pagan-worshipping snakes out of Ireland.
21:54Here to tell us more about the great man,
21:56please welcome our instant expert, Scout Boxall.
22:02Scout, tell us about St. Patrick.
22:05Now, I went through the saint registry,
22:07which is the only registry that Catholics are proud of.
22:10And I have identified the top three up-and-coming saints
22:15that you should pray to this autumn.
22:17There is St. Hyacinth, the patron saint of weightlifting.
22:21There is St. Genesius, the patron saint of comics,
22:24actors and magicians, like a kind of Catholic David Copperfield.
22:28And then, finally, there is St. Drogo,
22:30the patron saint of shepherds, coffee and ugly people.
22:34So, basically all of my exes, yeah.
22:37Right, so what got you into the saints?
22:39Did you grow up Catholic?
22:41Well, I actually grew up Protestant, Charlie.
22:43So we didn't have saints or nuns or priests
22:45and all our paedophiles wore jean jackets.
22:49But I've always been fascinated by the saints.
22:51You know, throughout history,
22:52they've been considered religious marvels
22:54with mysterious superhuman abilities.
22:57But, personally, I think a lot of them
22:58were just unmedicated, neurodivergent people.
23:01Like, take Joan of Arc, who ran away from home at 16
23:04after angels told her to get a bowl cut,
23:07wear pants and join the military.
23:09Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
23:11Now, modern religious scholars like myself
23:14might look back and say that Joan
23:15was just a trans-autistic lesbian.
23:18Which is impossible, by the way,
23:20because there were no carabiners, trains or vaccines back then.
23:23Mm-mm, mm-mm.
23:24But I truly believe that the kind of behaviour
23:26that got you canonised in the Middle Ages
23:28would have you lobotomised in the 1950s
23:31and performing on the ABC in 2026.
23:38So, what exactly does it take to become a saint?
23:41Well, a saint is a real person
23:43who lived an exceptionally holy life.
23:45And after a five-year post-death cooling-off period,
23:48the Vatican verifies two miracles
23:50and they can be canonised.
23:52It's similar to being approved for a rental
23:54in inner-city Melbourne.
23:55Mm.
23:56Right, and are they still canonising people?
23:58Oh, Charlie, is the Pope complicit?
24:01Carlo Acutis, who became the first millennial saint,
24:04nicknamed God's influencer
24:06and the patron saint of the internet.
24:08Officials predict close to two million people this year
24:11will visit the shrine.
24:12But do you really think Carlo's a saint?
24:15No, Charlie.
24:16He's just a kid with a basic working knowledge of JavaScript.
24:21And the Catholic Church isn't exactly tech-savvy.
24:23Like, you know when you go to your parents' place
24:25and you fix their Wi-Fi
24:26and they're like,
24:27how did you do that?
24:28It's a miracle.
24:29Like, that's what he did.
24:32You can catch Scout's show God's Favourite
24:35at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
24:36Would you please thank the wonderful Scout Boxall?
24:44And finally, we arrive on Wednesday
24:47and with the South Australian election this weekend,
24:49the fringe parties were making their final pitch to voters.
24:52The legalised cannabis party
24:54taking their election pitch to the streets.
24:57Setting up a live cannabis dispensary on Hindley Street,
25:01the pop-up shop giving South Australians a sneak peek
25:04inside the life of legalised cannabis.
25:07So that particular style there is really helpful
25:10for people with sleep issues.
25:12Similar to what you would do in a bottle shop.
25:14Some people like to taste test their wines or their beers.
25:18Ah, yes, tasting weed is just like tasting wine.
25:21And according to the good doctor's periodic table of cannabis,
25:25this granddaddy OG Kush pairs perfectly
25:28with a large family pizza, a bag of clinkers
25:31and a documentary about how aliens built the pyramids.
25:35While Labor seems set for victory
25:37and the stoner community likely to forget to vote anyway,
25:41One Nation is surging
25:42and they're cashing in on a little 2010s nostalgia
25:45by bringing back this blast from the past.
25:48Yes, and he's playing all the hits.
25:51One Nation's SA leader, Corey Bernardi,
25:53is tonight being condemned
25:54from almost every other side of politics
25:57for linking same-sex marriage and bestiality.
26:00During your time in the Senate,
26:01you faced backlash over comments linking gay marriage to bestiality.
26:05Do you still stand by those comments?
26:07I'm not apologising or retracting anything I've said.
26:09Don't you agree, though,
26:10that a significant number of Australians
26:12would find the comments that you made
26:13back in the Senate offensive?
26:15You can be offended by anything.
26:16I'm offended by people eating too much McDonald's.
26:22It is just unacceptable in 2026
26:25to draw parallels between bestiality
26:28and something as disgusting as eating McDonald's.
26:32The comments didn't sit well
26:34for Upper House member Connie Banaros.
26:37There is a special Greek word
26:39for people like Corey Bernardi,
26:42and that word is malaka.
26:44And if he doesn't know what that means,
26:46he should go and find himself a Greek dictionary.
26:48Mm, madam, I don't need to look it up.
26:51As they always tell me
26:52at my favourite local souvlaki shop,
26:54malaka means best customer.
27:00Not to be outdone,
27:02the South Australian Liberals had their own problems.
27:05A Northern Suburbs Liberal candidate
27:06is tonight under fire for controversial comments
27:10calling feminism and homosexuality demonic.
27:13Carsten Woodhouse claims he's a strong and principled man.
27:17Putting value on women's not demonic,
27:19but feminism's demonic.
27:20Who knows what demonic realms we've opened up
27:23to the world by accepting homosexuality.
27:26It's this whole reality,
27:27pretending that same-sex marriage is real.
27:29It's not.
27:30For does not the Bible say
27:32that marriage is between a woman
27:33who shall keep a peaceful home
27:35and a man who shall fight demons
27:37by recording a podcast in the basement?
27:41But that wasn't the only helpful contribution
27:43from the Liberal candidate for 1955.
27:46I've also seen people do crazy things
27:48of supernatural love
27:49where they've hugged witches
27:51that have come into church services
27:52and hugged them and watched them melt.
27:55And if you also want to see witches melt,
27:58may I recommend anything from row five
28:01of the periodic table of cannabis?
28:05That is our show for this evening.
28:07Would you please thank Brett McKenzie,
28:08Scout Boxall and Conrad Benjamin?
