The Brass Monkey Pod - Ep #24 - Yeezus is King? | Aus. Gov. Dismantling Democracy!

The Brass Monkey Pod

One day many years ago, we both had the immense pleasure of meeting a pre-"808s and Heartbreak" Kanye West. Today we start this podcast adventure off looking at what has happened between then and now, with the release of his latest religious album "Jesus is King". If you drop a single on Pornhub then offer an album titled "Jesus is King" is that repenting and make it ok? Kanye West believes in the way of Jesus Christ and he wants you to know no matter what you do, no matter how much wealth you don’t give to the needy, just believe and it’s all good.Cult vibes? Then we take a jackhammer to the Australian Government's reaction to the climate protests and how ScoMo and Dutton are looking to outlaw "secondary boycotts", which is the ability for a company not to work with another based on ethical grounds - which would fundamentally undermine your ability to affect change by where you spend your dollars. Fashy much? We also do the greatest sport segment ever to have been recorded on planet Earth. Lebron we're coming for you! All this and more in this latest episode!
