Time to Gargle

The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Buglers, I am Andy Zoltzmann and welcome to Bugle issue 4237 Summer Hiatus Sub-Summer Episode B, the second of our quite literally august offerings to tide you over until we return at the end of the month.

This week, in the absence of the Bugle, we turn to our glamorous sister publication, The Gargle, the glossy magazine to the Bugle's unrelenting heavy news journalism barrage of factuitiveness.

The gargle is concocted and hosted by Alice Fraser and you can currently see Alice performing at the Edinburgh Festival along with numerous other Bugle co-hosts.

Do go to see their shows, preferably having bought a ticket and laugh at them and then tell them that they are your favourite Bugle co-host of all time.

And do also buy your tickets for the Bugle 15th Anniversary Live Shows now via the live bit of the Bugle website.

There's a little live button at the top you can click or elsewhere.

My website, andysolsman.co.uk, should link to it as well if I've set it up right, which is a big if.

And it also has details of my November satirist for higher bonus extension dates.

Coming later in the hiatus, we will have the best of the bin, highlights from the chunks of the audio newspaper that frankly no one was ever going to read.

If you have a particularly favourite section in the bin that you'd like to hear again, do let us know, either by shouting it into the ether or preferably via our social media channels.

Tweet us at hellobuglers or do something else that might work.

Right, open wide, it's time to tickle your taste buds with the latest episode of The Gargle.

This is a podcast from The Bugle.

It's opening night of the Edinburgh Fringe.

You've been working on this show for months.

No, let's be honest, since before COVID, years.

It's the thunderdome of performing arts.

Your weapons are sharp, your heart is strong.

You're facing the immensity of competing against 3,000 plus other shows every day for a month.

You compete for ticket sales for the love of the audience, to gather enough scraps to feed your own fragile self-esteem for just one more day.

Nothing can distract you from your goal.

On the day of opening night, every fragment of your mind and will and joke writing ability must be bent to one task only.

And that task is the gargle, the only satirical news podcast that steers entirely clear of the iceberg of politics while bringing you the latest news from technology, beauty, arts, archaeology, sport, animals doing weird shit and real estate listings.

This is The Gargle, the Sonic Glossy Magazine to the Bugles Audio Newspaper for Visual World.

I am your host Alice Fraser and the guest editors for this week's edition are rolling into the club flinging money around like a Kanye.

Tiff Stevenson, hello.

Hi.

Yeah, I just threw hot dollars at you as I came into the hotel room.

Yeah, why did you heat them up?

I just feel it's when you're having money thrown at you, it's nicer for it to just be like Elise room temp.

And a human weatherboard, James Colley, how are you?

I'm feeling the imbalance right now where one of us gets to be a money-flinging Kanye and the other's a weatherboard.

Not even a nice bit of scrap wood.

No, a bunch of bits of scrap wood pressed together through the force of love.

I'm in a hotel room with Tiff, which is exciting.

It's exciting.

I don't think the gargle's ever been, because we started during the pandemic.

I don't think I've ever been in the room with one of my guests.

No, we've never gargled at each other.

No.

I mean, that sounds like a horrible sex tape that no one wants to watch.

You'd think no one wants to watch it, but if you've learned anything from the internet, it's that someone always wants to watch it.

Oh, yeah, yep, we just got a thumbs up from James.

Oh, I was responding to a producer query, but that's also wonderful typing on my part.

In just a minute, we will link arms and do the hover Nigila into this week's top stories.

But first, let's take a look at the front cover.

This week's front cover is a candid shot of Dev Patel breaking up a fight outside a nightclub in South Australia, proving that you are correct to have a crush on him.

Correct.

He's the, I think he's the inverse Ezra Miller at this point.

Dev Patel, you know Dev Patel?

Collie, do you have a crush on him?

Oh, of course.

But also, this was like, firstly, congratulations on the complete Adelaide experience.

Witnessing a crime in Adelaide is just it's it's like the first time you get honked at in New York you know it's just welcome welcome to the city you're in the strangest part of this story for me was that Dev Patel lives in Adelaide like I breezed past the Adelaide stabbing part I think it's just nice to make a Londoner feel at home and I went straight to

he's in Adelaide he lives in Adelaide because every decade Adelaide gets a celebrity last decade it was Ben Folds this decade it's Dev Patel they are stepping up does he live in Adelaide or was he just in Adelaide?

He lives in Adelaide.

I mean no one lives in Adelaide.

No, I thought he would be there for filming.

Apparently he's lived there for a year, which should have been a story every day on Adelaide News from the day he moved in till now.

Dev Patel's still here.

I mean this is the thing.

First of all, I thought Adelaide was getting a

nuclear submarine facility.

That was the big news about what was moving into Adelaide.

And they didn't mention that the nuclear submarine facility was Dev Patel.

Hold on, and this wasn't during the Clipsall?

No, not during the Clipsall.

Is there just like year-round Argybargie?

Oh, yes.

Am I allowed to say Arjee Bargie, actually?

What's the etymology of that phrase?

Is it to do with Argentina?

Maybe not saying it.

I don't think Arjibaji is racist.

No, it's a classic civil war between Argentina and Bargentina.

Yeah, I think it's, yeah, Argentina.

It's got to do with the Panama Canal and when a boat gets stuck.

And

I don't know.

This week's satirical cartoon is a picture of Liz Truss, and that's all.

She's a self-satirizing entity.

Stick her in a room alone with a mirror, and she'll sue herself for making a fool of herself.

I thought you were going to say it's a picture of her in a pork market.

I mean, it could be anywhere, just anywhere.

I just feel like Liz Truss is inherently...

She's a lady Boris, right?

That's why they want her, right?

We're selling tea to China!

Top story this week, dead spider robot news.

This is the news of the emerging field, the horrifyingly emerging from your nightmares field of necrobotics, whereby some scientists, again,

let's not ask why, have figured out that by blowing air into dead spiders, you can make them pick things up like a skill tester, like a terrifying, horrifying, horrifying skill tester.

Yeah, that looks like what you get at the claw in an arcade.

Yeah.

That grabs a minion for you.

Yeah.

Except this will make children cry.

James, you're a terrifying spider from People's Nightmares.

Can you unpack this story?

Well, look, you can't say this in our PC culture, but I am an arachnophobe.

I just don't like them.

They contribute nothing to the economy.

They should not be allowed to marry.

I am an arachnophobe and I'm sick of hiding.

I like being very well researched from this show.

I didn't click on this because I did for a second and there was a video and then I tried another article and there was a GIF and I don't want either of those in my life at all so I would like to direct this next comment to the wonderful roving reporter who sent this in.

F you, go f yourself, f you and everyone associated with you.

My thoughts on this are fairly simple.

Don't, do not, fking don't.

And I don't think that it's enough that we have ethic sports anymore for scientific experiments.

I think we need an Eldritch horror committee where we have like a Stephen King sits there.

Yeah, we have

M.

Night Shamelot there.

Any experiment that seems like something that would happen in the first act of one of their stories, you're not allowed to do that anymore.

Sorry, it's not worth it.

We have skill testers.

We already had skill testers.

You just made them worse.

Yeah, yeah, I feel like what you need, what you need is a kind of a

grant board slash pitch meeting in which if one of these horror writers says yes, everyone else says no.

So if M.

Night Shamelin is like, oh, that gives me an idea, you're like, oh, we're not giving you any money at all.

But we will greenlight this project.

Yeah, it can go to one or the other.

I mean, necrobiotic.

I've never even heard the word.

It just sounds like a 90s band.

Yes.

You know, like technotronic.

Yes.

Necrobotic on top of the pops.

Well, it's necrobotics, like robotics of the dead, right?

Yeah.

It's

something you get from drinking your court, I believe.

You get some necrobiotics.

It's so upsetting.

Tiff, would you get a skill tester made out of a dead spider?

No, it gets meta-necro when they use a dead spider to grip and then pick up another dead spider.

That was a very upsetting moment in the video.

Here's the video.

Here's the thing.

You're all brave, unlike James.

Yeah,

I watched the full thing.

Here's what I think.

Female spiders get a bad rap.

But years ago, I did a show at the fringe called Along Came a Spider.

And what I learnt was some male spiders are very tricksy right as part of the mating ritual what male spiders do is they get a parcel of food like a gift for the female spider so they can have sex with her right yeah you know just like watching the Kardashians so basically they wrap the present up in silk with a web you know and deliver it to the female spider but what I found out is sometimes they trick the female spider and it's just a bundle of silk with no food parcel inside it and then they have sex and then they leave and then they trick another female spider like an eight-legged tristan thompson oh

boy spiders yes i mean that is the word like as though you weren't already scared enough of spiders slash men

yeah there's just a female spider left there going all these eyes i never saw it coming

it's just really like i feel this is bad bad for the spider he's making it harder for all other male spiders out there by running this game, running this scam.

It's always just the one bad apple.

Yeah, the one bad spider.

One bad spider living in a terrible apple.

That sounds like a good kid's book.

In my opinion, there has only been one good spider, and it was Charlotte from Charlotte's Web.

And it's not because she wrote wonderful things in the web, it's because she died.

There are no good spiders.

Are there good spider-men?

There's one, but he's in a specific neighborhood, and it was Toby McMoyer.

Oh, Aloe.

There's an old Australian phrase that Alice will row, which is, I'm not here to f spiders.

And frankly, I would prefer if every one of these scientists was there to f the spiders.

That would be less disturbing to me.

Be like, I'm not going to yuck your yum.

Go for your life.

Just don't bring them back to life.

Your ad section now, because you can't be what you can't buy.

And this episode of the podcast is brought to you by Americans sitting in the cafe next to you.

Americans sitting in in the cafe next to you.

The podcast you can't turn off.

They're just so, they're just so American all the time.

And this episode of the podcast is brought to you by the newest, hottest social media app to steal your time and attention and then return them to you in the form of ads for things they think you'll like.

Bringing you Hotbox.

While this week, Meta, the Facebook of the internet, reported a 1% decline in their quarterly revenue, Hotbox will never report a 1% decline because it's just a room where you go to find find out about global warming statistics.

Hotbox, the most factual, least social media.

And a new novel is out by self-published romance maven and online bestseller Dancy Lagarde.

The 13th in the Sexy Knights of the Round Table series of a historical fiction with a supernatural twist.

The Night and the Spring is a tale of swords, chivalry, and hydration.

Calogrenant is a Knight of the Round Table.

I'm sorry, making that up.

What?

Calagrenant.

Calogranant?

That sounds like a brand of oven cleaner.

Normally, I make up names and they make me laugh.

This is a real name of one of the real knights of the round table if you think the knights of the round table are real.

And how could they make up a name like that?

It has to be a real name.

Calagrenant is a knight of the round table, astonishingly powerful and rich, celebrated by his peers.

You would think he could forget his difficult childhood as the unloved son of a distant Welsh lord's daughter and a billionaire wizard from the future who ignored the prime directive of time travel which is not to f

Kellogrenant was half brought up by gnomes a shameful secret for a noble knight because of racism but the past doesn't forget you that quickly and when Kellogranant is drawn into a quest that challenges his knightly honour he refuses to refuse Blefendal is a blonde medieval bombshell with deep turquoise eyes a shaved hairline and boobs to match her skin is so pale she can be hired out at night on the highways as a reflective cat's eye she's everything one could want in a medieval hotty but her her translucent skin hides a dark secret.

She offended a witch in a well and has been condemned to the fate of becoming a tempting naiad until freed by true love's first bang.

Yes, she's the spirit of a local watercourse, and if you get her wet, she becomes the elemental force of every middleweight stream and gushes everywhere.

When local highwaymen get access to a magical stone that gives them the power to control gnomes, Kellognand is summoned to deal with the goblin problem.

But can he bring himself to attack the people who gave him the only love he ever knew as a small half-lord, half-time traveller?

And who's this mysteriously glistening pale dame with ideas about gnome equality?

Find out when you read The Night and the Spring this summer.

I just so happened to have a copy of Lamorte Dartha here and just flicking through trying to find collognum.

Didn't appear in the glossary, strangely enough, but actually, having looked through this now,

this guy can't spell for shit.

This is written by an absolute rube.

Can't spell king.

King doesn't have a Y in it.

That's all the time we have for our ad section because it is now time for our grave wang news.

This is the news of the most cool grandmother you've ever heard,

which is 99-year-old Katerina

last name

who's decided to top her grave.

Orduna Perez.

Yes.

Ordunya Perez, who's topped her grave with a huge penis and testicles that weigh nearly 600 pounds.

Tiff, you've seen a wang or two in your time.

Can you unpack this story?

Well, look, it's a woman who knows what she likes and likes what she knows.

Yeah.

She's requested it go on top of her grave.

She's obviously a big fan of the D.

Her family unveiled the completed monument.

That's my favourite bit that everyone from the family turned up to see this five and a half foot cock and balls weighing nearly 600 pounds.

Wow.

I mean, that is...

That shows that you've you've used quality materials as well.

That shows craftsmanship.

You've got a plaster wang.

No, they didn't put a

foam dildo on top of her grave.

We're not going to disrespect this lady.

She was 99.

It says she wanted to break the paradigm of everything Mexican.

Is Mexican anti-wang then?

I think generally the sort of Catholic, a Catholic anti-which is generally anti-wang.

Right.

Auntie Wang.

That's like an auntie Wang.

So it says, where things are sometimes hidden because I'm not having an open mind.

Yes, you are correct, Alice.

She was always very avant-garde, very forward-thinking about things.

So she always said, in a Mexican sense, that we were vergas or vergar.

So it's because there's a Mexican slang word, which means cock, right?

Right.

Which can either be a compliment or an insult, depending on how you say it.

Right.

In the same way as somebody showing you their cock can be a compliment or an insult, depending on.

In Australia, we've gender-flipped it and the C-bomb, or if we're using the bleep button this episode,

can be a very negative thing, or conversely, the sicker it gets, the nicer the person.

So you can either be a or a sick

and the sickest of the fully sick

who is someone who you really like.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's like that.

We just make that person prime minister.

Yeah, well, I mean, we are in Scotland, so, you know, it is a greeting.

Yes, yeah, yeah, they get insulted if you don't say it here.

Well, like, in Australia, if somebody is outside a pub and they're calling you champ, you have a problem.

Oh, you're done.

Yeah, if you, if if they're calling you, you're at the same bucks night.

You're having a great time.

Oh, so if someone comes out and goes, Yeah, what's happening, champ?

Yep, that would be a good thing.

Or if they call you tiger,

big man, oh, you're in trouble.

Buddy, friend, any of these terms, you're gone.

Terrible, terrible times.

Just because we're in the land down under, and everything is upside down.

You also have a spunk,

which is

spock-related.

Spunk, yeah, that's Jiz.

Yeah, but you say he's a spunk.

Yes.

Yeah, I mean, that's always seen a bit of.

That's an early 90s thing, the spunk.

He's so hot, he's effluent.

We now say he's a little puddle of cum.

What a jizzy dude.

James, what do you want on your gravestone as your gravestone?

I think it's nice of her to have like just an average-sized penis.

I think that's actually quite a nice little monument there.

I'm not sure.

I think this is.

I found this interesting because

Donna Catter, who I believe is a popular musician amongst Gen Zs, did request this.

This is such a strange thing to me.

I think the only real winner in this situation is the goths who were planning to f on this thing anyway.

I'm really not sure.

The thing I like about this is I like doing the Morrissey, like wandering around a cemetery and doing the life and death dates.

If this happened, I would assume a big penis has died.

This was where they cut off Godzilla's dick and

it was buried on this spot.

Yeah, this is the memorial to when Kronos

had his dick cut off by Zeus, right?

And

the oceans and the land came out.

That's exactly the kind of thing.

And you know what?

I think as a note on my tombstone, this is the biggest cock we've ever seen.

Will work for my friends and my enemies.

That's all the time we have for giant gravewang news because now it's time for your reviews.

As you know, each week we ask our guest editors to bring in something to review out of five stars.

Tiff, what have you brought in for us today?

I'm going to review daydreaming.

Because at school, if I didn't like a topic, if I liked a topic, finished very, very quickly and then distracted everyone else.

If I didn't like a topic, I would just gaze out the window and I got accused of daydreaming.

Like, ugh, why are you doing your dreaming in the day?

Dream at night like the rest of us.

To which I say, no, I do not want to dream at night because I get a lot of of stuff done in my like when i'm daydreaming i'm you know i'm getting stuff done i don't want to be fighting dragons at night that's when i get my beauty sleep do you see what i'm saying yes nighttime is for resting i like to dream during the day fight dragons you know win awards i actually actually call it afternoon manifesting that's what i prefer to use as a term so daydreaming i give it five out of five i've actually been daydreaming for like most of this podcast so far just imagining that we're recording it on a hot beach not in a hotel room off a rainy royal mile in Edinburgh.

But we're all still here.

Yes.

That's yes.

I'm glad you didn't dream us away.

No, no, no, I haven't dreamt your way.

We're just doing it somewhere hot and being given pina coladas.

That's pretty good.

How many out of five?

Oh, five out of five.

Five out of five.

Sorry, five out of five for dangerous.

Excellent.

James, what have you brought in for us?

I'm bringing in contemporary art.

I took my daughter around to see, who is eight months old, perfect age for contemporary art.

I took her around to the contemporary art museum just so I could say, my kid could could have done that to everything.

I've always wanted to do that in the contemporary art museum.

And it's not that it's bad art, it's that she is a genius.

It's amazing the works that she's creating already.

My problem, it's this whole place builds itself as modern art, modern art museum.

Not modern enough.

A lot of the stuff a couple of years ago, retrospective, if I'm going to a modern art museum, I want someone building it as I'm there.

I want them to say, be, as I get to the back of the museum, they should have torn down the first two exhibits and say, not modern enough.

Art has changed by now.

Here's the new hotness coming in.

It feels like everything is too dated.

I'm saying two stars.

Saudi Prince news now.

A Saudi Prince intends to build a horizontal skyscraper that will be 170 kilometers long

and it's it's called the mirror line so it might also be 170 kilometer long mirror which was going to be in the desert.

James Collie can you tell me how this is going to go wrong?

Yes, I've done a lot of lines off of Mirror, so I am an expert in this.

So it's horizontal,

right?

It's a horizontal skyscraper called the Mirror Line that is going to be built, except it's not.

It's just a video with kind of PS3 level graphics that claims they're going to build this thing, which they won't.

It's basically like Da Vinci drawing a helicopter and being like, see, the rest is up to you.

This has has had a trillion dollars allocated to it, not invested allocated, and some would say, how do you have that trillion dollars?

Is there an industry poisoning the world

that you might have gotten a trillion dollars from?

Ah, never mind.

Build your stupid mirror city.

So the idea of this is a 3D city that won't exist.

You might as well have uploaded a clip from the fifth element and said, yeah, just make that.

They did say

it will be as iconic as the pyramids, and I believe it will also have about the same level of human rights observed in its construction.

Apparently, it had one big problem.

The stories point out one problem with this, and they specify one problem.

I have a few others, but they have one, which is that birds will hit it.

And that might be the only part of having a giant mirrored structure in the desert that I agree with, because that would be very funny to have birds find out we have dropped a mirror size,

a city the size and shape of a mirror in the middle of a country and just be like, oh well, this is bullshit.

Well, yes, I have the similar feelings to James, but

he's saying it will rival the pyramids.

And I'm like, dude, do you realize that's where people were buried?

Like, the pyramids are tombs.

But I mean, he might be in it as a tomb by the time it's finished.

Because they're saying it's expected to take 50 years to build.

I just think, I mean, it's just it's such a terrible idea.

I mean, if you want to be able to look at yourself and see your own shame in the reflection of this stupid thing that you've this folly that you've built, what's going to happen is it's going to be half built and then abandoned.

Just built enough to for everyone to realise that what a terrible mistake it was that they could have seen it happening a m million miles off and they'll just sink a trillion dollars into the desert and we'll all be sadder for it.

Well he wants to see himself in the mirror and I'm British, so when we look at ourselves in the mirror in the morning, we apologize.

That's how we do it.

See, if it was a funhouse mirror, I'd be entirely on board.

If you go uptown, you look really quite tall and skinny, but if you go downtown, you look very short and fat indeed.

That's all the time we have for Desert Mirror news because now it's time for other Desert Mirror news.

This is the news that the Dune Bible Crypto Collective wants to sell its Dune Bible.

If any of you remember, this is the story of a DAO or online collective who tried to buy the rights to Dune but instead bought the Dune Bible, which is to say a specific version of Dune, a book.

A very beautiful book, but not quite the thing that they thought they were going to buy because they thought they could make a movie off it and then they couldn't because it bumped into copyright issues.

Now they're trying to get it off their hands.

Tiff Stevenson, you've read Dune.

Can you unpack this story?

I've watched Dune.

That's almost the same.

The members of this club, yeah, I think we've discussed this on the show.

I don't know what the club used to be called, but they're changing their name to Spice Club.

Yep.

A members-only group instead of a body within a formal voting structure.

No one wants to be a member of the Spice Club after that picture of Jerry Halliwell with Nadine Dorries at the weekend just gone.

That, by the way, if you've seen that image, it's bad because I think what's going to happen is Jerry's going to end up on TikTok dueting with Nadine Dorries.

And if you watch it, you'll have seven days before you die, like the ring.

It's very much cursed.

It was one of many crypto DAOs.

Do we know what that means?

Dows, yeah, crypto.

Dows.

Oh, do you say DAOs?

Yes.

Like the Dows Dows.

If you're cool, you say Dows.

Because it's 10x as cool as saying DAO.

So what it says here is they hope to maintain the physical condition of the book, find a way to scan and distribute its contents publicly, and produce media similar to Jodoworsky's never-made adaptation of Dune.

So far, Spice Club managed the first of these tasks, paying for upkeep with treasury funds.

It's also funded a contest to find stories that could be turned into a TV mini-series.

These projects, as well as the Frank Miller NFTs, were put forward by a small core team and then passed to a vote of people who had purchased Spice tokens.

Now it's basically becoming the book.

Yes.

Across

between Dune and, you know, Mad Max Fury Road or something.

Yeah, exactly.

Where there's a few people who have all of the the money and everyone else is sort of a chump being exploited for their own resources.

James,

have you bought some spice tokens?

Yeah,

I relate to these people because I also buy books, spend too much money, and then ultimately don't open them and regret the whole process.

I can't stress enough, I have a copy.

of Lamorte Dartha handy.

I like this story because it is the story of Dune itself.

Starts great, then it turns out there's a lot of lore and and real diminishing returns the more you look into it.

It's going to take a long time to sort it all out and it just gets into weird philosophy and economic spaces that just aren't very interesting when there could be a giant worm to ride.

I mean there is a giant worm to ride and it's on the grave of this nice old lady in Mexico.

And this is a short episode this week because we're at the Edinburgh Fringe.

I'm flipping through the ads at the back.

Tiff, have you got anything to plug?

Yes, I'm here at the Edinburgh Fringe too.

First show tonight, I finish on the 29th.

The show is called Sexy Brain.

You may see a poster of it if you're up here.

I've already been sent some pics, but it's my head and legs, like a flamingo, your favourite animal,

popping out of a gigantic pink brain.

And so you should come and see that.

That's my main thing I'm plugging all month is Sexy Brain, eight o'clock.

And I think there is a streaming, I think we're streaming it on the 23rd.

I believe you're streaming yours as well.

Yes.

So on the 23rd, if you're not able to make it to the fringe and you'd like to watch the live stream, it'll be on the 23rd of August.

James, have you got anything to plug?

We've just finished up a season of Gruen.

If you are in Australia, you can catch it all on ABC iView.

If you're not in Australia, you are geo-blocked.

And since...

pirating doesn't exist you have no idea how to get that.

For anything from me, jamcolly.com and also Lamorte Dartha by Mallory.

This is a Bugle podcast in Alice Fraser Production.

Your editor is Ped Hunter.

Your executive producer is Chris Skinner.

I'll talk to you again next week.

You can listen to other programs from the Bugle, including The Bugle, The Last Post, Tiny Revolutions and The Gargle wherever you find your podcasts.

Hi Buglers, it's producer Chris here.

I just wanted to very quickly tell you about my new podcast Mildly Informed which is in podcast feeds and YouTube right now.

Quite simply, it's a show where me and my friend Richie review literally anything.

So please come join us wherever you get your podcasts right now.
