What an absolute honour to have @_tonixlouise_ come on and tell us all about her story this is a bit different from what everyone is used to seeing on the podcast as we discussed Toni's past experience of being abused and sex trafficked from a very young age this women is so brave to be coming out to make everyone aware that this happens in our own country by our own people this is no selfish act or wanting any form of glorification Toni simply wants people who have been or are currently being abused to be heard and to know that they are not alone!

Wait a minute. A thumbs down for The Big Lebowski? And from our host, a man who has gone on record calling the Coens among his top favourite filmmakers. What's the friggin' deal here? Well, guess that's just his opinion, man. Or could it just simply be that Ruud is stretching a small personal gripe very thin, just so he can let a real Dudeist vibe for an hour plus? Whichever it is, the guest of this show is none other than Scottish comedian Billy Kirkwood. On the Utrecht International Comedy Festival he performed a show called Watch Bad Dutch Movies With Great Comedians. Where Ruud was, yes, the face of Bad Dutch movies. But Billy is also an ordained minister of Dudeism, and sports some themed body-art. So, if you're into bowling hippies knocking back white russians, just step on this rollercoaster of classic movie quoting. And if you get angry, and you want to threaten our host with cutting off his johnson, because of something he says along the way, that's alright. The Rude abides.
