Chronicles On The Fly - Made in America

Made in America

Chronicles On The Fly
Made in America... this week's episode title says it all for this week's discussion between Simon & Mel, with the craziness going on in the United States. We stole it from the name of the final episode of The Sopranos which we've previously discussed. We're talking about the protests and riots in America stemming from the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the responses from Trump and Biden, police brutality, as well as the false narrative being told by left leaning mainstream media organisations. We also discuss the social media rant by Candace Owens who brought up some eye-opening statistics to demonstrate that things may not be quite what the media would have you believe. We touch on the SpaceX launch to the International Space Station and the 76th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy during World War II. We also have an interesting conversation where Mel gives his extensive insight into gun laws in Australia, particularly in Western Australia, and what the requirements are to purchase, own, store and use a firearm in WA. And we end with the brilliant mind of British writer and philosopher, Alan Watts: "You are Eternal the Universe". [DISCLAIMER]: We had some minor audio issues this week, which Simon has used his audio editing genius to try to remedy. So our apologies for the ever-so-slightly poorer quality sound at some points of this episode (it's not that bad!).

What's In A Name?

This week we discuss the ridiculous controversy about the name of Western Australian boutique brewery, Colonial Brewing Co, and head down a minefield of related issues brought about by the latest woke mob nonsense in Australia, all while chugging down cans of, you guessed it... Colonial Brewing Co beers! Also on the menu is The Death of the Aussie Larrikin, Kingswood Country, political correctness and cancel culture in media and society. And we give the last word to the legendary John Cleese.
