| 0:00.0 | Goody, humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas, and I'm taking off from Sydney on a big whiz-bang, a fast breakneck tour to Los Angeles and then San Francisco to meet up with the substack. |
| 0:16.8 | Peeps, and then New York City, and I'm going to Washington, and then I'm going to London. It's going to be a whistlestop tour, but for the next two weeks, I apologize if content is a little bit spotty, I'll do me best. I'm going on a bunch of podcasts, so you'll see and hear me pop up hither and thither, I hope. Hopefully I won't be too jet lagged, too disheveled, and I won't say anything too outrageous. Or maybe I will. |
| 0:40.2 | And then I'm coming back and after a brief break with the kiddly winks to Queensland to take |
| 0:45.7 | them to the Great Barrier Reef for a few days, I will be off on the road with the one |
| 0:49.3 | and only Douglas Murray for our Australian live tour. |
| 0:52.8 | Now, let me say a couple of things about this. |

| 1:19.2 | YouTube and also to do live events. So those are the three prongs, right? There's the audio podcast, |
| 1:25.7 | there's video content, which TBC, watch this space. |
| 1:29.8 | I want to do some more interesting stuff in video than just having a webcam of me gabbing at you. |
| 1:34.2 | I sort of feel like every podcast, especially the sort of intellectual, heterodox ones, |
| 1:39.6 | tends to look like it was shot in Jordan Peterson's reading lair. It's all mahogany and books and people |
| 1:45.3 | seated on plethora. I'd like to make mine look a bit different. So we're going to play around |
| 1:49.7 | with a few things and watch his face. Nonetheless, the third leg of the stool of the Josh Sips, |
| 1:55.1 | Uncomfortable Conversations, Global Empire, Fire Us Off to the Moon and Create a New Civilization |
| 2:00.5 | Stool are live events |
| 2:02.4 | where I would bring interesting people from all over the world, and we'd have conversations. |
| 2:07.8 | Now, let me preface this by saying that I was watching Oppenheimer, and if you've seen |
