A feral chat about OzLit and the creative process and long term unemployment, enjoy Giacomo’s attempts to get Patrick to admit he is horny for cartoons, amongst other things.

Forgive us for the patchy audio quality: the crowd’s laughter was so uproarious it literally broke the mics.

The Battler Boys meet in person for the FIRST TIME and immediately attempt to kill each other as they reckon with show mascot, Mark Latham, being accused of doing Mark Latham things (allegedly).

Also touched on (allegedly) is the pedogeddon of the Epstein files, Albo’s woeful drip on his China trip, the soothing sounds of Israeli psytrance, Ancient Greek pottery, and whether or not Tim and Pat are ‘hoteps’.

as always, subscribe to Straying for the Morsel and The Yeah Nah Review, share The Battler far and wide, and buy Nock Loose!

He’s back now, and will be there to watch Pat and friend of the program Giacomo Bianchino launch Nock Loose, at Better Read Than Dead in Newtown, this Friday at 6pm! Come down and say hi/punch them in the back of the skull.

As always, thanks to Dictator Dan Dare. Song is “No Strain” by Southend Rainbows.

We are still on opposite sides of the planet still, and Tim is at his little Marxist summer camp; so the audio is a little cooked. But Dictator Dan Dare is in again to save the day.

First off, sorry for the delay! With Pat sick, and Tim in Italy, and a few tech issues, producer Dan (that Saint, that Angel!) has had to work overtime to stitch this episode together. But thank CHRIST for him, because it is a BEAUTY!

This week, we talk to award wining poet (author of Drop Bear) and editor of Overland Literary Journal and overall genius, Evelyn Araluen, about what it means to hold your ground agains Zionist censorship, and what work goes into maintaining your craft and honing your art while besieged on all sides by fascists.

Evelyn got us all fired up, it truly is a yap for the ages.

Tim & Pat’s initial pre-interview chat for this episode is now in the ether, and we’ve instead attached last week’s chat to the interview — the news is moving like an e-bike twink on too much Vyvanse, and we didn’t think there was much point in you listening to our riffs (though they were very good) from two weeks ago. We get into Iran, Cuck Country Blues, and the rest of it…

Apologies again for the delay, we will be back to our regular scheduling as soon as Tim is back and Pat is cured of his many ailments.

GET IT IN YA!

Before that, the Battler regular corps chat Gillard’s feminism, Western Liberal Leaders in their Noble Stand Against Israel and the Woodside North West Shelf Gas extension project.

Song as always is No Strain by Southend Rainbows. Produced by the wonderful Dan Dare.

Jo’s novel, Painting Portraits of Everyone I’ve Ever Dated, is available in bookstores everywhere, or right here at this link.

Beforehand, Pat and Tim talk Zionist zombie propaganda; the implications of having our first Nigerian head of an Australian political party; and Ben Roberts-Smith’s tragic loss of his court appeal. We also talk about the NatLib split (the splat). We recorded it on Wednesday, and now their back together. It seems like our prognosis– that they were trying to build leverage and push the libs to the right, but that they ultimately would repair the rift– was vindicated again, but in accelerated time.

Caveat: Tim, the professional, called Paul Bongiorno Frank Bongiorno at one point. These bloody wog writers dio mio– I guess it’s buonanotte for Tim!

Song is No Strain by The Southend Rainbows. Produced as always by Dictator Dan Dare.

Pat and Tim also talk about Sussan Ley’s new role in a Guy Ritchie film; Ted O’Brien losing his milk arrowroot; and how all small business owners are fascists.

Production once again by “Dictator” Dan Dare, and intro song is by The Southend Rainbows.

It’s a wonderful conversation, adulterated only by the near-hour of bilious whingeing that we do before Oz gets on the pod. Pat and Tim talk about being right all the time; about the leaderhip aspirations of Sussan “SS” Ley; and about the possible trajectories of our major parties in the wake of the Albogensian Crusade.

You might notice that this week’s ep sounds better. That’s because “Dictator” Dan Dare has come onboard as a producer for the show. We doff our trilbies to his efforts at getting us to sound less like your cousin’s basement manifesto project and more like the evil podcasters against which we are competing. While we figure out our new processes, it might also mean a slight delay in the pod. Stick with us.

Finally, we’ve got a new logo from Andy Pratt. It’s a pearler, signifying our desire to become the “Latham Handshake” that cripples the Australian media.

Title song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.

Caveat: we spent several minutes talking about what Bill Shorten is up to, mistakenly claimed he was still minister for the NDIS. Later on, we actually had a conversation about him being Vice Chancellor of Canberra University. It’s this kind of rigour that you can expect from us.

The Yemeni banger in this week’s episode:

Beforehand, the Battler boys talk about the dead Prelate (RIP to a real one); the absolute carnage of the Liberal election campaign and the peak Craft Beer aesthetics of Betoota Advocate running a Labor social media campaign. We also talk in general about Australian comedy writing, from Rodney “The Duke” Rude to Friendly “Sleep in a Suit” Jordies.

Onya.

Joined this week by Charlie Lewis from Crikey and RRR, chatting about the rizz problem in the Liberal party and Dutton’s calamitous campaign; the absence of intrigue in this year’s election and Crikey’s own bit of brattery in running a fake candidate for the senate.

Then, Pat and Tim talk about the WA Greens doing the settler thing and throwing an ANZAC doof. We also listen to the AI “diss track” that the Libs unveiled to collective horror on the weekend; speculate on what goes in on George Brandis’ opera box; and pine for Pyne and his gawky brand of cuntservery.

Bit of an easter egg at the end, with the glorious Southend Rainbows paean to Christopher: Place Beyond the Pynes.

Before the interview, the fellangists talk about Dutton’s festering personality problem; the debate; and the recent candidate’s forum on environmental policy in the Division of Wentworth, to which Timbo went last Tuesday.

For the record, Jo was right that Wentworth is the old seat of Mr Trumble; also the piece of legislation to which “honest” Tim refers is the 1999 (not 1997) Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

Music: No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.

Things are moving quick, and we know that the world has changed in the short time since Thursday of Last Week. We’re gonna try stay abreast of the cataracting effluence, but please bear with us as we Trumble along.

Pat and Tim walk through the powerful mildness of the budget, the standings of the various parties and the independents, the stakes of a short election campaign and the possible advantages of Labor’s small-target approach. Tim didn’t have a mic this time so it’s gross audio.

Please also consider donating to Alex Mckinnon’s gofundme for Palestine: it’s already at $50k and is hoping to raise $100k. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-more-than-80-palestinian-families-rebuild.

Pat and Tim also talk about AUKUS, Tariffs, and all the things that we’ve been right about (the antisemitism hoax; Westralian election etc). We also start to prod the very tender point of Australian publishing and the dearth of good writing in the continent.

In the next few weeks, we’re gonna be looking at more matters literary, and also thinking chatting about the war on the unions.

Good on yas and up the tigers.

Love

The Fell*s

Before that, Pat and Timbo talk shop on the WA Election (congratulations to all those who celebrate); Dutton’s Escape To The Hemmesphere and the possible disintegration of AUKUS.

Next week, we’re talking Ukraine.

Next week the battler takes on the ABC. We are doing all of this ourselves, so getting episodes out with any regularity is not so easy. Our technical prowess is also a work in progress; though Tim is getting better at pretending to know what he is talking about. Please subscribe to the pod, as well as Straying for the Morsel and Patrick Marlborough’s “Yeah Nah Review,” as well as the requisite meme pages. You can also fling us a pledge with a little cash so we don’t have to succumb to Clive Palmer’s incessant overtures to fund and promote us.

We’re still figuring this out, so it can be a little glitchy. We’re also in disagreement about using KIIS FM style house music under each episode. There are also some factual corrections to point out: the parliamentarian who brought the Sabsabi case to Question Time was in fact Senator Claire Chandler, Shadow Minister for the Arts, as Pat pointed out. Also, at one point, Tim referred to one of the Sydney nurses as a doctor; this was characteristic confusion on his part.
