Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus It is episode 1,213 for Tuesday the 22nd of July 2025.

I'm your host, Luke who joined today by Dan and Bo.

Sorry to interrupt you all flow, but the reason we're laughing is because chat was talking about in Carl's latest video, a parrot randomly lands on his shoulder, and we didn't believe it.

I just looked it up, and yes, he just says a parrot randomly land on his shoulder.

Yes. So we're still coming to terms with this revelation.

He hasn't mentioned ever in the office that he owns a parrot.

So this is literally new to us right now.

Okay.

So we'll be asking Carl about the parrot later.

But for now, what we're going to be talking about is the completely sincere

attempts to smash the gangs. We're then going to be talking about how the British police

are irredeemably racist according to themselves. Yes. And then we're going to be talking about

the Democratic nominee for the new Minneapolis mayor

which should be

quite the spectacle. Let's put it that

way. All right, over to you Bo.

All right, so the government,

our government, his Majesty's government, has decided

that the way to smash the gangs

which Sir Queer Starmer is promised he shall do.

What? Did I say, what's funny?

Nothing. The man just has the occasional need for a male model.
