Good afternoon and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eater's Episode 1,394.

I am your host today, joined by Charlie Downs.

Good to be here, second show of the day.

Yeah, second show of the day. I hope you're not tired of him yet.

We have hungover Nick Dixon.

Sidney Khan, for president.

For president, who doesn't understand which country that he's in. And we managed to find this lovely young chap lying on a street corner outside earlier. What was your name again? Mark. My name is Marik. Marik. We've got Marik. And he said that he has some opinions that he'd like to share with everybody. So we thought, you know what? Let's give him a go. Yes, your deadlift technique is very bad. I don't deadlift.

The Romanian deadlift, I'm not willing to risk myself on deadlift. Oh, I'm from Romania. Romania, good. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Keep your pockets to yourselves. This is ridiculous. Yes, this is Mark. You all know Mark, probably. he's going to talk to us about some things that he's noticed recently.

That's very specific.

And amongst those things that we've all noticed recently that we're going

to be talking about, that is going to be whether reform will ever field a white candidate,

which is a pressing question. You're going to be telling us about Gavin Newsom's wife.

Gavin Newsom's insane wife, yes. The most insane woman in America possibly.

Taking over from Hillary and AOC, it's incredible the stuff she says.

I'm looking forward to it.

And we're going to end with your segment on whether Zuma's are physically capable of enjoying themselves.

Indeed, the answer is no, but we'll get to that.

Well, as a... You're a Zuma. The resident's no, but we'll get to that. Well, as a, you're a Zoom.

Resident Zuma, I have opinions. That'll be interesting. I will be fielding this debate and

refereeing. But first, just to make everybody aware, before we get into that, we have the live

event. You probably already know about this, but if you don't be there, Mark won't be there.

I don't know if that will entice you further.
