Summary

It's time for a Christmas interlude, the best parts of our favourite uncomfortable conversations. Tim Urban is still probably my all-time favourite guest. The creative genius behind the blog Wait But Why brings his brain melting takes on the world, and our place within it. Clementine Ford and I have some disagreements. Neither of us pull a punch. Our chat gets to the heart of what we’re trying to do here. And Malcolm Turnbull, Australia’s 29th Prime Minister. What an opportunity it was to quiz an ex PM about his views on the current political climate, his time as leader, and the chaos that led to his eventual downfall. Enjoy!

0:53.4	I'm sorry for your loss.
0:54.5	I'm sorry for your poor life choices, really, living in a place that gets very, very cold.
0:58.3	No, the Christmas season is wonderful and beautiful night.
1:01.2	A little part of me is jealous of you that you get to trudge through snow with a cold nose and cold ears and look at little Santa's in windows of stores and so on. It's quite romantic as well.
1:12.3	I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I hope you're looking forward to a new year.
1:17.4	Well, to the possibilities of the new year, not just to a generic new year, because there is a lot
1:22.2	that we can look forward to in 2023. I've got a good feeling about it. I reckon we're on track for a goody.
