Ali G

And I think that's quite fascinating.

as a Ali G's movie gets buried by Amazon.

I really enjoy The Devils.

It's a wild movie.

Let's crack on and let's start with that blue tsunami or wave or whatever you want to call it in the US midterms.

I heard somebody yesterday describe it as a blue nami, although that begins to sound a bit Ali G.

Anyway, lots to talk about, including the implications for politics here in the UK.

Danny, to start with the results themselves, do you share JD Vance's analysis that the Iran war is the real reason?

No, the problem is Sacha Baron Cohen does other characters that might be more.

Yeah, like the Ali G for Bruna.

Well, all I know is what I know.

And I saw Borat and I was blown away by the irreverence.

Yeah.

But I do respect, in the words of Ali G, with the field goal kick.

I don't have a leg, man.

I don't.

This is what I do want to talk about.

So I watched the Ali G movie.

And there's been so much discussion about the Ali G movie.

5,000 articles.

And...

need you to think I'm actually a good

person.

That's the thing with Ali G.

So let's go do it.

As a quick aside, that story reminded me of, have you seen the new Ali G movie?

No, I haven't.

Okay, so without giving too much away, the premise is, you know, so 20 years ago he had his HBO show, and now we're reintroduced him 20 years later, he's fallen on hard times, and he starts... wanting things, you know, from the house.

Fun, fun.

I got my gold chain, so I am actually prepared for Halloween.

I'm going to be doing Ali G. Hopefully I don't get canceled for it, but this is part of the costume.

I've got the full getup.

So many great articles up there.

I just put up an article a few days ago about Ali G, Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G movie.

And whether that is the most embarrassing celebrity scandal of all time, just the existence and the box office release of this Ali G movie is at the lowest of celebrities ever gone.

I go and dive deep on that one.

So subscribe to the sub stack there.

How all these people like Gervais is a big part of that.

But like the 11 o'clock show, for example, which Gervais was involved in Ali G.

These are all shows that were made by Talkback.

Talkback is a company.

Yes, yes.

Getting mixed up.

but like think look at these things that they made in the 2000s this was i think smith and jones had gone by this point but talk back and they made yeah 11 o'clock show ali g show green wing nathan barley smack the pony bow selector um like it was all that kind of stuff they were they were putting out a lot of really you know high-end stuff like for the ute you know like it wasn't really your your mom and dad's sitcom they were the

the zeitgeist

At first, I don't know if you would like...

It was like an Ali G reference type of thing that you were wearing on your head here.

We did wonder why you popped up on screen in a do-rag.

It's a bit weird.
