The Chaser Report

Finally! The very slow to arrive very fast train has been re-re-re-re-reannounced and it’s not going anywhere you want to go. Does that mean an election is imminent?

Charles and Dom explore the never-dying transport announcement that won’t arrive until they’re dead themselves.Order the 2025 CHASER ANNUAL: https://chasershop.com/products/the-chaser-and-the-shovel-annual-2025-preorderListen AD FREE: https://thechaserreport.supercast.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @chaserwarSpam Dom's socials: @dom_knightSend Charles voicemails: @charlesfirthEmail us: podcast@chaser.com.auChaser CEO’s Super-yacht upgrade Fund: https://chaser.com.au/support/ Send complaints to: mediawatch@abc.net.au Hosted on Acast.

Elon Musk has launched Grokipedia: an AI-generated online encyclopedia the billionaire hopes will challenge Wikipedia, which he says is more like ‘Wokepedia’ and full of propaganda. Charles and Dom investigate Grokipedia by of course first looking up themselves and how it treats The Chaser organisation (and Nazism).Order the 2025 CHASER ANNUAL: https://chasershop.com/products/the-chaser-and-the-shovel-annual-2025-preorderListen AD FREE: https://thechaserreport.supercast.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @chaserwarSpam Dom's socials: @dom_knightSend Charles voicemails: @charlesfirthEmail us: podcast@chaser.com.auChaser CEO’s Super-yacht upgrade Fund: https://chaser.com.au/support/ Send complaints to: mediawatch@abc.net.au Hosted on Acast.

Charles introduces a provocative theory suggesting a new Golden Age, urging listeners to invest in gold amidst soaring US debt. The hosts explore the potential return to a gold standard and how Trump's rhetoric may influence gold prices. They reflect on Australia’s regret over past gold sales and debate the practicality of gold versus modern alternatives. With China plotting to reduce dollar dependence through gold-linked deals, they also tackle the impact of AI on the economy and its mixed utility for creators. A lighthearted discussion about accepting payment in gold wraps up the talk.

Dive into the absurdity as hosts dissect the $95 billion valuation of the Great Barrier Reef by Deloitte. They explore whether putting a price on nature makes sense and debate if this could motivate action to save it. The satire escalates with ridiculous ideas like renting the reef or using dead coral in construction. With outrageous claims of the reef becoming prime real estate and AI inflating property values, the hosts poke fun at our obsession with monetizing everything, all while delivering laughs and biting commentary on environmental issues.

Charles and Dom are back in the same room, but unfortunately, said room is not a ballroom, and therefore is completely uninteresting to Trump. Together they discuss the White House renovations, and how what Australia really needs is a Mar-A-Largo Down Under.---Order the 2025 CHASER ANNUAL: https://chasershop.com/products/the-chaser-and-the-shovel-annual-2025-preorderListen AD FREE: https://thechaserreport.supercast.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @chaserwarSpam Dom's socials: @dom_knightSend Charles voicemails: @charlesfirthEmail us: podcast@chaser.com.auChaser CEO’s Super-yacht upgrade Fund: https://chaser.com.au/support/ Send complaints to: mediawatch@abc.net.au Hosted on Acast.
