The Two Jacks look at the coming year and offer some predictions on the Australian federal election, what might happen with a second Trump presidency, where Europe is headed and is it possible the New Year will usher in a period of peace in the Middle East? In sport, the Test World Championship beckons. Will Australia defend its title and what of the powerhouse of world cricket, India?

In this episode we continue the process of unravelling RFK Jr.'s worm riddled brain. We continue to tear apart his absurd tweet which claims the FDA is waging war on things like 'exercise' and 'sunlight' and look further into the implications of his role in the Trump administration - if he actually gets confirmed.

As usual, the CRP10 coupon code still works at cbco.beer and apologies for this one coming out late - a bit of covid and a lot of day drinking has prevented me from editing and publishing it.

Enjoy!

The Effectiveness of the HPV Vaccine

I took so long to upload this - mostly because of covid but also self indulgence. Had a good chat with Dave about cookers.

Just as a side note - I am going to get vaccinated around November from here onward. Covid goes mental during silly season. I prefer novavax because it has zero side effects for me (I am not a doctor this is not medical advice) but if we all jab up in October or so, we might not have to destroy christmas on a regular basis. My last jab was last year and covid last week SUCKED.

Episode is of course brought to you by CBCo but since recording they have sent me beers so my lack of beers are now lies. We love CBCo. CRP10 code still works. Buy their beer - it makes us look good, but it's also really good beer. I maintain their IPA is one of the best WCIPAs in the country and CHEAP!

The audio edit is a bit janky because it's done by AI but it's fine. I'm tired. Enjoy the episode!

Oh and a patron had an issue finding the SP group so here's a facebook like that might work.

PS the myplace song is at the end and I have not listened to it cause it's awful

So descript are offering AI shownotes which is amazing cause I hate writing them. Good lord - timestamps!

The Two Jacks final episode for the year with Christmas on the way, includes the Two Jacks' book selections just before Santa slides down the chimney.

Listeners! This week Jack is off trying to find himself in New Zealand. Something something Kia Ora. I tried to find someone to do this with but I put that in the too hard basket and recorded this one solo.

So yeah, it's just me this week.

So we - the royal we - look at Bovaer - the latest cooker outrage over a cattle feed supplement which lowers methane emissions. Don't eat it though. Especially if you are a rat.

And we - again, actually just me - look at the recent interlocutory hearing to kick off the vaccine injury class action headed up by Dr. Melissa McCann. It's going really badly. Which is a bit sad, in a way - cause a few people in the class probably deserve a payout.

By the time I started this, I had several standard drinks. Podcasting is so much harder on your own!

Hope ya like it. Jacks' back soon!

Enjoy.

The Two Jacks discuss two appeals - one filed, one pending both dealing with a recent murder, the other an horrific crime from the 1980s. What chance will these convicted murderers have of having their cases examined again?

Meanwhile inflation and the cost of living pressures in Australia are set to remain high on forecasts with the Reserve Bank unlikely to drop interest rates before the next election.

How will the Trade War between China and the US affect Australia? Badly, the Two Jacks suggest.

In sport, we review the Perth Test. Let's not forget that India are very good and Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world. The dominance is set to continue in this series and into the foreseeable future.

The Two Jack's report on vandalism in eastern Sydney with an anti-Semitic bent while in Melbourne a nightclub is subject to arson, an indicator of organised crime's turf wars.

We examine the government's (with Opposition support) bill to prohibit kids under 16 from accessing social media. JTI believes this is not a winner for the government and will only increase talk of government overreach.

In India, Gautam Adani is indicted for financial crimes hy the US Dept of Justice.

In sport, Australia and India prepare to lock horns in the first of five Test series.

Apologies for the radio silence - besides licking my financial wounds and feeling like an absolute prat for getting my election prediction SO HORRIBLY WRONG it has been hard to find the time and energy to get behind the mic. Hey, at least I'm not that Ann Seltzer lady.

This episode also sounds like shit cause I recorded in a large room and did an AI edit. Damnit, you'll get what you get until law exams are done!

This episiode we are having a good look at the plans of RFK Jr. who you all know is going to Make America Healthy Again. Well, is he?

It's gonna be interesting. My inner cooker is fascinated to see how this goes, but as per usual the very positive things like removing toxic dyes from American food are completely counterbalanced by the fact that the person who plans to do it is a complete idiot.

Law school ends this week. The future is bright! Plan some road trips, listeners, cause you're getting content for Christmas!

Much love and I hope you enjoy!
