Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nason.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I like, when you've got some sort of espionage type.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is going to be good. You know how Vladimir
Putin met with Donald Trump in Alaska for this big, high,
high stake peace talks on the war in Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
No sort of small talk goes on there because Vladimir
Putin Russians English, Yes, but what's his English?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Like?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Well, he had a couple of osiders with him, as
did Donald Trump, because we wonder about his English sometimes too.
I hope you don't mind me saying so.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So, but you can understand what Trump's saying. That's true.
What's the small talk this?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
It was supposed to be a longer meeting than it was,
and the American side came out slightly ash and faced.
A lunch was canceled, so the Americans had gone in
Donald Trump, I do the art of the deal they
came up. They came out without a deal as we speak.
I think Vladimir Zelenski and a whole of European leaders
a meeting in the White House with Donald Trump because

(00:58):
maybe someone from the Ukraine should be involved in these
discussions as to the future of the Ukraine. Enough so, anyway,
Vladimir Putin flew to American soil in Alaska. Although Donald
Trump said I'm heading back to America now, he said,
after leaving Alaska.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, it is America. Just so you know, he's forgotten.
He's forgotten.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
But this is fascinating. Apparently this is Vladimir Putin took
along one of his a very unusual security measure. This
is according to French investigative journalists. I just read this
this morning. Members of Putin's Federal Protection Service are tasks
are tasked with this get ready, collecting all of his
bodily waste, including feces, whenever he travels abroad. This has

(01:39):
been going on for decades. The waste is sealed in well,
I'm just reading it as I've.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Read don't shoot the messenger.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
The waste is sealed in special bags and transported back
to Russia in a dedicated briefcase. So one guy gets
to carry the nuclear codes, another guy gets there. Nay,
which I've got good.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Where's guine on this?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, what do you think the reason for this is?
You tell me what you think it'd be.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So people don't get an idea of how he's healthy.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's the thing I thought it might have been to
see if he'd been poisoned to beef Wellington, any of that.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Well, that isn't that'd be too late. You want to
you'd want to test it before it might be already
bolted by that.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
What's happened here?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I would say it's about health.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's to prevent foreign intelligence agencies from obtaining samples that
could reveal, as you say, details about Putin's health.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
They've been talking about the twitchy leg.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
This practice has been going on for decades, with precautions.
Similar precautions taking place during his visits to France to Austria,
including portable toilets brought for his exclusive use in some
of those places.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Why doesn't he just flush the toilet?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, because you can get the samples from their dirt.
Half of Sydney, half of Sydney's water is contaminated with cocaine,
and they know that because of the test they do.
They can easily swab a toilet the room.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Are you saying that the espionage people would have an
s band isolated for Vladimir Putin? Secondly to that, would
he need to go it wasn't there for long?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, he's only on the ground for This is just
what I'm reading, because, as you say, the rumors about
his health have been fueled by appearances where he's been twitchy,
his legs have been jerking, unconfirmed reports of falls, cardiac incidents,
neurological concerns. So that's what they are doing. I guess
what they'd have to do is take along a little

(03:34):
portable toilet, or his security people would put some maybe
I'm guessing some kind of insert inside the toilet so
that no residue remains.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
He didn't see that in Tom Cruise. It is impossible.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Maybe protocoluser ghost protocol.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
There's the whole world of stuff that we would not know.
But imagine you've worked all you app to be part
of his inner circle security detail, and you're carrying a
briefcase full.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Of food ivan good news and bad news.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Comrade, you're on briefcase too.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Meanwhile, Grant Dani's got I'll host it.
