Valentine: "When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way. Global Warming is the fever. Mankind is the Virus. We're making our planet *sick*. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population oursevles there's only one of two ways this can go: the host kills the virus or the virus kills the host. Either way..."

Arthur [Michael Caine]: "...the result is the same. The virus dies.

Eggsy: "So Valentine's going to care of the population problem himself?"

Arthur "Well if we don't do something, nature will. Sometimes a culling is the only way to ensure that the species survives.

And history will see Valentine as a man who saved humanity from Extinction."

Eggsy: "And he gets to pick and choose who gets culled, does he? All his rich mates, they get to live? And anyone he thinks is worth saving, he's keeping them safe. Whether they agree with him or not."

Supervillain Speech: "Global Warming Is The Fever. Mankind Is The Virus"

Four years ago Jason Calacanis charged us with creating the first international podcast worthy of his "This Week in Startups" brand. In those four years Australia's startup community has grown from strength to strength - and legendary angel investor Jason Calacanis joins us to launch series 6 of TWISTA with a wide-ranging conversation about what it takes to make it in the news business, how he grades each investment offer presented to him,  why ICOs aren't the end of angel investing - and how Australia can use angel investors to amplify its incredible startup success. An interview 23 years in the making - on this episode of TWISTA!
