Hello and welcome to podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1280 and it is Wednesday the 23rd of

October this 2025. I'm Dan and to forestall any commentary in the chat like we had in the office

all morning. Yes I have been experimenting with hair dye. The reason is that I am very old.

Discuss amongst yourselves in the comments

if you think it's a good idea or not, I'd be particularly interested to hear from any vivacious

young fillies. I'm also joined by Faraz. Hello. Hello. And special guest Josh. Hello. I did

put in the description, not so special guest. Oh, it was you, was it?

It was, yeah.

I wondered if I needed to tell somebody off for that, because I wrote special guest. You did? Right. I'm back often enough. I'm not that special. All right, okay, fair enough. So, moderately, I didn't notice the hair dye at all until you pointed it out. well harry having you been talking about it quite a lot and then he got ferez on the case

i just thought you have i just thought it was a nice haircut. I didn't say anything about it. No, that's true. You did true. You were very honest. You came and said, you look good, which is, I admire that sort of honesty. That is good, yes. Oh, what are you going to be talking about? we're going to be talking about how the White House has been destroyed, which may be of news to some of you.

Josh is going to tell talking about? We're going to be talking about how the White House has been destroyed, which may be of news to some of you.

Josh is going to tell us about the dumbest thing that has ever been created. And you're going to tell us about how Ukraine is literally at war with us. Yes, pretty much. Good. Right. Start on the first one, shall we? So you may be interested to learn that the White House has been destroyed, and we have very

credible sources to confirm that it has in fact been destroyed, which I will tell you about

after mentioning the course.

Have they recognized their rightful place as part of the British Empire, or are they still in

rebellion?

I believe the country is still in rebellion.

Oh, unfortunately.

Yes, they need to be brought into compliance.

This is true.

Very quickly mentioned the course because, I mean, you'll see an advoi, I'm sure at some

point, but, you know, it's very good and please buy it.
