Graham Linehan

that? Because it's the same...

narrative the believable women narrative it's the same narrative as trans women are women and any comedian me being one of them that's spoken against that narrative in recent years has been cancelled it happened to Graham Linehan he's a BAFTA winner he's the writer of Father Ted he's a BAFTA winning comedian and he got

cancelled sorry Yeah, we've we had Graham.

Yeah.

We're not really a democratic country if we don't have free speech.

So this is against the values that not just the UK, but the whole West has been built on.

And this was this is Graham Linehan's sin, too, that he spoke out on the transgender ideology.

And that's why he got canceled and arrested and on and on it went like the harassment of him.

I think was it...

Either Graham Linehan or someone similar that got onto the show by the people that Rogan already knows.

He was around someone else and they managed to get him onto the show.

Or maybe it was Rupert Law.

And again, I think there was a great thread about, again, the asymmetry in advertising.

All right, Bridget Phetasy and Graham Linehan.

I am not Irish, so I can't say it nearly as beautifully as he can say his own name.

But you two know each other, right? At some level, this is not like your first time.

Okay, Natalia, welcome to part two of our Graham Linehan expose.

Last we spoke about Graham Linehan and his autobiography, Tough Crowd, we were discussing the end of chapter 15, and we were discussing the grievance studies hoax.

There is a part of chapter 15 I want to briefly touch on before we move on to the latter section of the book.

Graham ends chapter 15 with possibly the most outrageous lie of the entire book.

Immediately after the bit that Graham quoted in the essay when you were reading it out, Natalia, literally the next line in the bit that he was quoting is the following.

We need to think very strategically about how to use social media.

So obviously, you can say whatever you want about Graham Linehan.

I wouldn't describe his use of social media as strategic.

Well, it's either that or the veganism, I suppose, isn't it? Oh, yeah, a bit of veganism.

Secondly, it was to tell everyone, based on nothing, that he, quote, wants to trans your kids, which doesn't really even mean anything to normal people unless you're terminally online or Graham Linehan.

And three, they put up their own candidate who was possibly the worst candidate political candidate with the exception of all the other ones they put up basically if you put Ken Paxton's name into Wikipedia his big the biggest bear in mind he was the Attorney General of Texas right the biggest section on his Wikipedia page is quote legal issues which is about five or six separate sections long.

Yeah.

Today's episode is a true treat.

I get to talk to my dear friend John Ronson, the author, the documentarian, the excellent human being, about his latest book, The Castle, which is about his adventures into the world of unraveling men.

In this discussion, we talk about... people's purpose and meaning and how that is finding itself disrupted in a world of technology, in a world of potentially unlimited resources, and how his own adventures of trying to figure out how his own son got roped into this strange reality TV show that was anything but.

So enjoy this conversation where he and I talk about his book, but most of all, talk about this ongoing problem that we see in the world of people seeking purpose and validation in unlikely and potentially destructive places.

So scary.

Yeah.

So somebody goes missing at a rest stop and her boyfriend, the only way he can find peace is to follow in the same footsteps.

Right.
