John Cleese & Cancelling Yourself; Is It A Thing?

Published: Nov. 15, 2021, 3 p.m.

Famous British comedian John Cleese decided to 'cancel' himself, by not appearing at a Cambridge speaking event out of protest of a debater who had been blacklisted. So we chat about cancelling yourself preemptively, whether we feel pressured to be visibly woke + more.

Also, Scomo reckons he's never told a lie! We chat about some of his recent non-truths, and why (sadly) lying is such an important part of modern politics + how we can keep dodgy politicians in check.
