This podcast is supported in part by Australian ethical. It's my favourite time of the week when I hear that music Lewis I don't know about you, but none of our podcast listeners will ever know what that music is. Because it's the music we have on our web streaming video anyway, so thank you.

0:15  
It does feel like yeah, we're just about to introduce a BEx ad on blankety blank. So it's a real old school television moment.

0:25  
That's right. That's right. And I am ugly David grey. Welcome to irrational fear. We've got two new people on the Patreon this month big thank you to Bruce and Kamini.

1:04  
Jesus, Stan,

1:06  
you know why? Because it why? Because it must be done. It must be done. It will all be explained live on stage. We're going to talk about

1:15  
2023 We're not doing parody rap anymore. I know. Even the Lonely Island isn't doing parody rap anymore. And they were actually good. And

1:23  
I know, I know. But I couldn't resist. If anything, it's a rap of a parody of a parody. So does that mean it's like your Icarus? Already? That's fine. It's fine and funny. It's good. We shot it. And it's funny. I'm excited to show everyone in Brisbane. It's gonna be there. You can decide next week and tell me what you think I was really excited to hear your thoughts.

1:48  
I don't want to turn this whole intro into this. But when was the last time you listened to a song in the genre of hip hop? That wasn't a parody you had written?

1:56  
I can't remember it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. Yeah,

2:00  
parody gets genre you know nothing about it makes me deeply. I'm a big

2:03  
fan of my own work. Alright, the other thing you need to know is that Melbourne is about half sold. And there's going to be a bit of a surprise on stage you as an audience member will get the chance to win a piece of Victorian politics history. Does that intrigue you Lewis?

2:20  
It does. I can't wait to get down Andrew as part of it.

2:24  
Well, it's very much along those lines. What if I said the word Chappaquiddick to you? What does that mean? In terms of Victorian niche politics history?

2:33  
I'm assuming it's a car accident. I'm hoping it doesn't involve it.

2:38  
There isn't a death there is a car accident. Yes, there's something to do with Tim Smith and the word Chappaquiddick and it's gonna be pretty excited reveal on stage so I can't wait to share that with you. Or in Melbourne, April 2 on stage,

2:54  
you're giving away the remnants of Tim Smith's career. No one's gonna want it.

2:57  
That is so closely we're so close. Oh, you almost got it. I'm recording my irrational fear on Gadigal land in your nation. Sovereignty was never seated. We need a treaty. Let's start the show. The following

3:08  
programme contains medium coarse language and traces of nuts. A rational fear recommends listening by immature audiences. Comedians experts sloughing at the world as it burns down around. This is a rational fear.

3:33  
Tonight, the stock price of Credit Suisse plummets causing worldwide financial turmoil. Authorities in Switzerland say they are no longer going to hide money in the holes in the cheese. And the US has warned tic TOCs Chinese owners they must sell due to security concerns. Tik Tok respond to threats with two dances and a makeup tutorial that talks continue. And Australia is to legalise MDMA for medicinal use as one reaches virtual said, Oh man, I fucking love you man, man. I mean, just menu, but I can tell. I can tell Hey, seriously, no, seriously, we just wish to start a podcast together man. It's the 16th of March 2023. And with more poker machines in Nevada, this is irrational fear.

4:13  
This is a rational fear.

4:27  
Welcome to rational fear. I'm your host caliphal Sydney identity Dan Ilic. And this is the show that takes the news and forces upon it a trilateral agreement whether you want it or not. Joining us tonight is how we've got our own trilateral agreement. It's very exciting here. Our first theme manga is about to launch her debut solo show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It's called blurrier IRL writer, performer producer podcast host Amelia. Now that skews Welcome to irrational fear.

4:53  
Hello, yay. Hi. Thanks for having me. All that stuff people say at the top of pot Ha.

5:01  
Are you pumped? Are you pumped for your debut in Melbourne?

5:04  
Yeah, pumped. It's good. I like the bulletins that they send to all of the performers because the most recent one that they said was mental health. Make sure you call the hotline if you guys are stressed. Emails, you guys get it?

5:16  
Oh, this is your first time doing the Comedy Festival. It's, yeah, yeah. This will make sense in week two,

5:23  
and also on the show is Lewis Lewis. Welcome to your podcast. co host irrational fear.

5:28  
Thanks, Dan. A pleasure to be here and across everything as per usual, let's talk about all the things that are on this show. Right.

5:36  
Adam ban is popping in we'll ask him about the CPRS probably but first here's a message from this week's sponsor.

5:41  
irrational fear is brought to you by New South Wales poker machine ASMR. Clinics. Free drink sips the jangle of cash from five Cleopatra's but the sweetest sound of all is when donations in your election campaign bank account, if you like the sound of staying in government and the sound of Nazi photos quietly being shredded ditch that cashless poker machine cards, or else authorised by collapse New South Wales in a very non threatening way. Campbelltown

this week's first fear blackouts in Adelaide are being caused by bats. Of course if you live in South Australia, you already know this by the more colloquial name. The bat out Yes. Last year 89 blackouts in Adelaide were attributed to bats resting on power lines in the wee hours of the morning as bats went to and fro from feeding authorities tried to call a subcontractor to deal with a problem known as Batman, but they didn't have power to get the signal out fear mongers what is going on with Adelaide bats, Amelia?

6:42  
Well, I think this is clear that the bats are plotting revenge for a speciesist inflicted discrimination after COVID. That's clearly what's going on here. Let's be real South Australia clearly had some strong opinions during the pandemic, and they're just plotting their revenge. I think that's so interesting. I don't know why I targeted South Australia specifically, but I think they had any particularly different opinions to the rest of the nation.

7:09  
Do you think that? Like obviously, I've been I assume you haven't communicated with the bats? I don't want to make any presumptions.

7:17  
Personally,

7:18  
yeah, you personally, because obviously this the approach you've taken here is that the bats wrongly slighted or taking their revenge. The other alternative is they're just trying for the second time to wipe out

7:36  
that's true. My other thought around it was that like it's a lot of bats like to cause the electrical surges, but they also get killed as a result, right. Like they don't survive. So part of me was also thinking like, maybe the bats aren't okay, like know what there's no like, are you okay, day line for the

8:02  
I don't know how you do ask because you have you have to sort of do it in like echoes.

8:06  
I think it's echolocation right. It's like sonar. Hmm. So maybe if you made a physical sign that said
