I recently learned* that Vietnam captured around 400 F-5s and 500 C-130s when they kicked the U.S. out. That's a lot of planes. What happened to all those planes? *read on wikipedia

Do you think there is any validity in the complaints about the lack of civility online? I like telling Adam Creighton that he looks like a ghost from a shitty soap opera or calling James Morrow the chinless wonder as much as the next person. but is there any chance that the prevalence of normal people saying that conservative chuds have a tamping iron in their skull contributes to the type of atmosphere where the more heinous anti-social aspects of being online (doxxing, death threats etc) are more likely to occur?

Thoughts on the DSA? I want to get involved with something and they seem like the obvious choice, but I’m not sure.

As a Wobblie, I recommend looking up your local IWW and getting involved in labor organizing.

How many boards would the Mongols hoard, if the Mongol Horde got bored?

Would you rather have the brain worms that infect Australian press gallery journalists, the brain worms that infect Australian opinion columnists, or the brain worms that infect water droplet Twitter accounts?

Over Christmas here in Canada we had an inexplicable 3 week marathon of Bones. It started on Friday Dec 18 and ended on Jan 4. The channel played every episode back to back from beginning to end and nothing else. I think they played each episode twice a day. Anyways, my question is: what do you do when you no longer fear death?

Any thoughts on how our cities/lives can be made more disabled friendly? Or, Which host would give up their spot on the pod to big foot?

Lucas Miller

As a new father myself, I'm also enjoying the benefits of NQE Sleep. But what are the host's tips for getting the best sleep you can with a teething child?

In this scenario all the hosts are on the ABC quiz show Hard Quiz presented by Tom Gleeson. What would each of your special subjects be? Who would get eliminated first and who would get through to the final round to lose against Lucy? Bonus points for who comes up with the most savage insult against TG that would get past the ABC censors.

what fruits and vegetables are you guys enjoying at the moment? thanks :-))

I can’t see! Is this a podcast?

Oh, I forgot to ask the real question: is it all real?

What turned you into a socialist?

Please rank Australian cities by scent

Steve Dawson

Not a question so much as some advice - have a look at the "controversies" page on the Great Australian Party Wikipedia. Rod Culletons co-founder is, unbelievably, even more cooked than he is.

So last mailbag you answered the age old question for me: “would you rather be very very British or very very American”. You resoundingly chose American. Now even harder: would you rather be very very British or very very Dutch? Thank you.

How do I trick my partner into watching Paul Blart Mall Cop 2? Cheerz

Think I'd rather be Dutch. While the Dutch are racist perverts, the British are invariably paedophiles (and also racist).

Like, I’m picturing full on wooden shoes, eating some pickled eel out of a canal while in a windmill, but also somehow simultaneously a Vietnamese sex worker prominently displayed outside of a church from the 1500’s in blackface. In conclusion the Netherlands is a land of contrasts.

Would it be morally wrong to scam QAnon supporters? After watching footage of the capitol riot the other week and reading all these various takes my one conclusion has been this: There are a lot of rubes out there with deep pockets! Since then I have been seriously considering getting in on the grift and have a few ideas (mostly app ideas: Antifa facial recognition, deep state microchip detector, that sort of thing). My question for the boonta crew is would this be morally right? Would it end up just fanning the far right flames rather than harming it? Anyway love the podcast, keep up the good work, cheers from Terf island!

Is the Australian government currently or have they ever been in contact with Aliens? Also what's the funniest country outside of Europe?

Thoughts on the New Wiggles?

I would like to know if you are aware of the greatest (i.e incredibly stupid) piece of NZ journalism of all time which is a very short article about a towel, or in a similar vein the exploits of Sergeant Bigwood. Please feel free to contact me for all and any of your NZ comic relief stupid journalism needs, it would be fair to say I'm an enthusiast (and also unfortunately originally from there AND the netherlands)
