While Daniel and Jack continue working towards resumption of IDSG, Jack is once again invited by best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah (@nicemangos of the Polite Conversations podcast) to co-host a Twitter space [obligatory Elon Musk joke here] about the new Barbie movie and the tsunami of reactionary tears it has invoked. Conversation (with contributions from various guests) ranges over the movie itself and Barbie herself, Musk and X, Dutch politics, the culture wars, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Piers Morgan, and that weird guy on YouTube who dresses like a medieval knight. Obviously, this being an X space (sigh), sound quality is variable.

0:00.0 | Hello, hello. Jack. Hello. How are you? Not bad, not bad. I'm feeling pretty cheerful at the moment. |
0:10.0 | I've had some good news. I thought I found some lumps on one of my beloved cats, but they've |
0:15.3 | been off to be biopsy. You can come back and believe me. Oh, my goodness. So I'm really |
0:20.6 | cheerful about that. Oh, well, thank goodness. That's amazing news. Well, I'm very happy about |
0:26.9 | that too. And what better way to celebrate than talking about Barbie. |
0:34.0 | Absolutely. Yes. That's what I always do when I'm when I'm feeling happy. I talk about Barbies. |
0:41.1 | Right. Me too. Totally. I don't think I've had a long conversation about Barbies since I was |
0:48.7 | 12 maybe. I'm not convinced that I've ever had a conversation about Barbies. |
0:57.3 | Maybe when I was seven, I had a friend who was a girl. I won't say a girl friend because |
1:03.4 | this is a different thing. You know, and she was explaining Barbies to me. That's probably the |
1:08.9 | one and only time. What was she explaining to you exactly about Barbies? Oh, well, all the mysteries, |
1:16.2 | obviously. The new movie explodes them all. I don't know. I have to confess straight away that |
1:25.7 | I haven't seen it. Look at us. Both of us are doing a Twitter space on a movie that neither |
1:32.4 | from us have seen. Yeah. Typical limbs to my right talking about stuff they don't know |
1:38.4 | them about judging things before the video. Well, look, I do know some stuff about Barbies because |
1:44.8 | I hate to admit this, but as a little kid, I did have quite a collection. And one time I lost |
1:54.6 | to Barbie at a party when my mom told me not to take it. And I promised her I wouldn't lose it |
2:00.4 | there. Oh, yeah. And I did lose it. So I was pretty traumatized by that. I had Action Mask, |
2:09.0 | which is the British version of G.I. Joe. And that's just Barbie for boys really. So it's the same |
2:16.2 | thing. Right, right. They are like dolls, right? But you can't call them that because men are so |
2:23.6 | manly. That's right. Girls, girls have dolls. Boys have action figures. |
2:31.6 | You know, the other day I saw a tweet about a bar of soap that smelled like alcohol and tobacco |
