Pure Poison podcast pure crap

Come on people, the reaction to the latest Pure Poison Bolt-cast, er, podcast, is less than robust with only one comment so far. Now it seems only fair that since Dave and Jeremy put so much effort into their broadcasts, people could at least take notice. Then again, it is just a bit off-putting that Australia's own Colbert and Stewart do so much giggling, chortling and guffawing at their own little jokes.

Here's the summary for those who have actual lives and/or can't be bothered listening to 45 minutes of "piss-taking" from the PP boyz.

Dave Gaukroger introduces co-host Jeremy Sear as possessing a voice like a combination of Barry White, Kelsey Grammer and James Earl Jones. Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone is closer to the mark.

The next four minutes are devoted to an article by Imre Salusinszky. The bottom line: the PP boyz don't get it.

An Andrew Bolt segment – Jeremy: "let's get [Bolt] out of the way so we don't have to talk about him anymore" as if Bolt isn't ever-present in their minds – follows. Dave assures Jeremy that Robyn Williams is right and Bolt wrong in that sea level can indeed rise by 100 metres. Dave is wrong, of course: a 100 metre sea level rise is impossible.

Next is News.com.au's "verballing" of Bob Brown. This relates to a New.com.au embedded link reading: "Bob Brown: 'Coal miners caused floods'". The teaser link was wrong and should have read: "Bob Brown: Coal miners 'caused' floods". BFD.

Greens die-hard Jeremy insists that Senator Brown was right in that burning coal raise increases atmospheric CO2, which raises temperatures which puts more "precipitation" in the air, this increased precipitation apparently leading to increased cloud and thus more rain over Queensland.

David Penberthy is next to suffer an attack from the two giggling, pubescent idiots for daring to mention Pauline Hanson and Bob Brown in the same opinion piece. Penberthy, habitually referred to as "Penbo" by Jeremy, is evil personified because he was for a number of years the editor of the... wait for it... Daily Telegraph.

The "hysterical" reaction to looters in Queensland comes up next. Dave and Jeremy agree that that press coverage of looting was a massive over-reaction. This despite the press coverage actually being quite muted.

Jeez, we're only 21 minutes in to a 45 minute broadcast; are these two enlightened yuksters going to address anything interesting? Not likely; Wivenhoe Dam is next on the agenda, the two Lefty dullards concluding that big rains produce big floods. Not everyone agrees with this simplistic analysis, however.

With the PP boyz involved in a protracted discussion of the government's spending priorities and land prices I drifted off, making a trip to the fridge for a beer, only taking notice again when Viagra use by soldiers came up at 35:30.

Jeremy reckons it's hilarious that "they're using too much of it in Afghanistan", when the cited News.com.au article only mentions Afghanistan in passing:

Australian soldiers who are entitled to taxpayer-funded Viagra pills have been warned about the dangers of erectile dysfunction drugs and told they can have just four tablets a month.

Defence personnel, including those on active duty in places such as Afghanistan, have also been informed they must be medically assessed as suffering from sexual performance problems before the pills will be prescribed to them.

The podcast concludes with a look at U.S. politics, the PP boyz agreeing that Fox News is evil.

Pure Poison podcasts are definitely worth listening to, but only for confirmed Leftists, and by right-wingers who are entertained by cringe-worthy Lefty lameness. Actually, it's surprising Dave and Jeremy elicited that single comment.

Update A disappointed Jeremy asks PP readers:

What, did nobody listen to the podcast?
