Goody, humans. Welcome to what we're calling Josh versus the news, a new name for not very

new thing, where we basically go over some of the interesting stories that I've found most

since late in this week and give you our takes. Some of the stories that you've asked for me to comment on, some of the things

that are afloat in your boat that perhaps the rest of the mainstream media is not addressing

in quite as lucid or jocular away as yours truly may be able to.

Streaming live on Substack and on YouTube, if you want to jump in and leave any questions or comments there

then we'll get to them I've got to tell you I don't want to bury the lead but allow me to

we have a story hot off the presses today it's not that hot it's a few days old but you probably

haven't heard about it anyway this is the story of insurance premiums.

It doesn't sound very sexy, does it, insurance premiums to begin with. Are we good, Jono?

John is running in here. It looks like he's scarring around fixing things, fixing technical issues.

So you might think to yourself, well, hang on old Zepsy, car insurance premiums.

This is not the way that we like to start our beloved segment, Josh versus the news, the time-honored segment

that we've come to know and love, loat these many 90 seconds that you've been doing it. But bear with me, because this has to do

with a scandal that my friend Ben Fordham broke on Australia. He's the biggest radio

presenter, radio host, Radio Grand Puba in the history of the universe in Sydney. So Ben got onto this story where it turned out that two of the big car insurance companies in Australia, when you're applying for your car insurance, you can either select that you're male or female, but now they've added non-binary as well

when calculating your car insurance.

Well, what do you think happens to the price of the car insurance when you select non-binary?

I'm going to leave that little cliffhanger until the end of the show as

more and more people join us live. Corruption may be the theme of today's show because I just

can't get my head around what's going on in the Trump administration. The lawlessness,

their self-dealing, it's just become, it feels like it's escalating somewhat.
