I get so many headaches every month. It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox, on a botulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

1:15Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

2:12Welcome back to Finversus History. I'm still with Horatio Gould. And this is part three of our Idi Amin series. Yes. Steak and eggs for the listeners. One of the craziest dictators there's ever been. He's charmed us. For sure. He's charmed me. Yeah. The biggest dictator, the strongest dictator. Big. He's jacked. Yeah. He's huge. And in this episode, we're dealing mainly with his foreign policy. Right. Which brings us to an old friend of the pod. Yeah. My friend and yours, Muammar Gaddafi. Yeah. Well, it seems to be a characteristic of these sort of African dictatorships that you can make just a big splash with foreign policy, even though you don't have nukes, you don't have ways of affecting things, but you can just go at the UN and start slagging people off.

2:59In many ways, Trump is acting like an African dictator, except he's got the power of the US. And that's what's terrifying about him. Yeah. It's like, fuck it. Yeah, because it's kind of cute when, you know, it's like when you hear a child swear, right? Yeah. It's cute. When you hear an adult swear, it's not cute at all. Wow. It's also, when you hear a Uganda man go, why are you gay? It's funny. When you hear Trump go, why are you gay? Why are you gay? You gay? China's gay. You're gay. I mean, it's actually still funny, to be fair. But Trump is an African dictator. Have you seen that Trump moment where he's like, I think he's in Texas at like a golf club.

3:37And he goes, I love the gays. You're gay. He goes, he's not gay. No, you're gay. You're gay. I like the one where he comes out of the car and he just points at the camera like that. Anyway, Idi Amin, he's fucked off all the Asians. He's had a dream. I have a dream that you should all fuck off. and over the course of his reign, his foreign policy shifts dramatically. Initially, he's on side with the Brits and the Israelis. Uneasy bedfellows. That's for sure. You know, he's taunting the West a lot, I think. Many people would say that he's, yeah, he's kind of, many people would say that he, you know, was sort of a clown, a buffoon.

4:16I think he knows what he's doing. I think he's delivering. It's more of a Kaufman-esque routine then. I wouldn't go as far as Kaufman-esque, but I'd say he's on that spectrum. Right. you know it's only on some spectrums uh no one you know there's nothing people hate more than someone who's more intelligent than them so what an intelligent person would do is try and seem less intelligent to disarm them it's all right louis through would do right there's a version of that going on with ed amin i think yes but then it's hard to read it at what level of intelligence is it and when does the actual stupidity come in yes that's it's hard you can't know you can't know when you're looking at is he a genius doing this amazing act or is at what point Well, when you're looking at his second wife and her arms have been stitched to her legs and her legs are on her arms, you're thinking, am I not getting this?

5:02This is very above my pay grade. I think it's gone over my head, this. Well, it's gone under hers. So he sends Richard Nixon a get well soon card after Watergate. That's funny. That is funny. Now, again, is that teasing or does he not understand what Watergate is? Does he think he's ill? Because I guess if you are smart, and you meant that as a joke, that is very funny. Yeah. Watergate, the biggest crisis of the year. Yeah. Saying get well soon. And also for a man who's, you know, incredibly corrupt, the most, you know, a slight bit of corruption from the Americans. Get well soon. Get well soon.

5:37I mean, where did he get this card from? Like Clinton's? Get well soon. Or did he just misunderstand Watergate? Well, that's the thing. You don't know whether he's been clever or whether he thinks Richard Nixon's got like a bladder infection or something. That's what Watergate was. he wished him a speedy recovery right again it does yeah it's hard to know i guess he never he never came out and and revealed the bit that's that's why he's so you know interesting intoxicating he didn't come out and say it was all a joke from 1972 amin starts to turn away from the brits and the israelis and he turns towards the soviets and this is all in the context of the oil crisis i think he starts to realize where where power lies really in the world so in february 1972 he visits a friend of the pod colonel gaddafi in libya and uh after you know it's amazing that with one conversation he immediately comes back and he starts being incredibly anti-western anti-colonialist and anti-semitic much like people have you know 10 minutes in agreement with me they start saying some absolutely insane shit yeah you encourage it i bring it out in people i bring it out for sure people come up to me and they're going well you're like this and i go well hang on what are you about to show me yeah yeah i mean you're not wrong we're not in public so Gaddafi someone actually I ran into someone who spotted me from the pod in Liverpool Street Station and he just very sincerely said keep doing what you're doing it's important I was like well don't say that no it's not don't say that people say that to me they go keep doing what you're doing no it's good for the I bumped into on the tube the weekend there's some drunk Millwall fans who would so it's so funny seeing Millwall fans go weaker than these because of a podcast they're like oh my god keep doing what you're doing honestly Keep fighting the good fight.

7:17Don't stop. Is this the good fight? Yeah, this is the... No one's ever told me to keep doing what I'm doing. No, that's because you say you're a paedophile. Stop what you're doing. Stop doing what you're doing. Keep doing what you're doing, mate. I love what you're doing, Charlie. Keep fighting the good fight. Yeah, yeah. I can't say it publicly, but just know that I'm for you. Just know that I, yeah. I like what you're doing. I mean, again, is Charlie, you know, is he saying that like Idi Amin saying... He's a bit of an African dictator, Charlie is. He is, definitely is, yeah. So Gaddafi gives him Idi Amin millions of dollars in aid, and in return, Idi Amin says he would convert at least 70 % of the Ugandan population to Islam.

7:51Which is a strange promise. I'll stop trusting his word though. I feel... It's a bit like I'll convert... Will you convert everyone to Islam? 70%. That's a good deal. He's giving himself... He goes to Mecca. So Saudi Arabia give him private jet and millions in aid. We got any pictures of Idi in Mecca? Let's have a look at Idi. Idi with some in the get-up. What's he wearing? Is he in the full Newcastle fan get-up? um it's because of all the oil crisis the 70s britain's obviously in the toilet at this point yeah uh but edie ameen basically oh look there he is yeah idian mecca beast that's good fun so uh sally rama give him a private jet and uh after the 70s and the oil crisis the opec thing he's like you know what i'm going in with the naughty boys fuck it um boys at the back of the bus this is qaddafi and ameen are at the back of the bus and the but crucially the bus is running because there's petrol.

8:44In 1976, Britain severs diplomatic relations. Now, at this point, we should say that he has started a Save Britain fund. Which is very nice of him, to be honest. People say that he doesn't care about other people. He lacks empathy, but it's very kind of him. And this is very, we talked about this in the, I think the Ted Heath episode. Things are so bad in Britain that Idi Amin personally says he's going to pledge £600 of his own money. Of his pocket money. £600 of his own money. He's broke his piggy bank. Yeah. And he's counted all the points. Do you know what? This should go to Ted Heath. And then he gets a bunch of vegetables that they've grown.

9:21And he says, they're in our plane. We'll send them to you. It's reverse comic relief. It's a fucking fantastic bit. It's a great bit, but it's a bit that he also commits to. As in that he actually had the plane filled with three of the veg. And he calls the cabinet office every day saying, when are you going to pick up this plane? They're rotting. Yeah, they're rotting now. I'm trying to save you. Can you imagine us doing that to comic relief? Come on then. The point is we're meant to send the clothes to them. Yeah, he's just reversed. Come and pick it up. It's like, well, I can't. Yeah, it's a great inversion.

9:48Yeah. Now, in June 76, Britain severs diplomatic relations with him. And so he awards himself CBE. Congratulations. Conqueror of the British Empire. He starts asking British journalists if they feel nervous interviewing him. He then, there's a great photo. Can you find it, Charlie? We're British diplomats. He summons them all to his front lawn. And they all have to bend the knee. They all have to take the knee. This is before. Yeah, there we go. as we're looking at it now. So he's all, they're all, we're looking at a photo, they're all raising their hand, pledging allegiance to him. Imagine a press conference where you'll just get on the fucking, get on the ground.

10:22If you want to go answer. He then also makes white people carry him around on a, like a sedan chair. But is it, this is the comedic, it's an inversion. This is what I mean, it's an inversion. He knows he's being funny. Yeah. And he's, you know, he's - That's a fair, that's a great bit. It's a great bit. Look, he's even got like a white man in a suit as a punker wallet holding an umbrella over. Phenomenal bit. That's good. That's good. So he also forces all British workers in Uganda to take a 40 % pay cut. He offers to broker peace in Northern Ireland. And he also writes many love letters to Queen Elizabeth II.

10:57Which, now, have we, did we find any of them? Yeah, yeah, I've got one here actually. A lot of you up DMs, sort of late night stuff. Hello you, I'm sat at mine thinking of you. Can you do it in the accent? Hello you, I am sat at mine thinking of you and your tidy ass. You look so naughty on all the notes. I'd like to print loads and hyperinflate your fanny. Charlie, this is fake. Great British pound you in half in a good way. Did you write this? You are so gorgeous. Charlie. But more importantly, you are a kind lady. Charlie. Yours always. Edie. Did you write this? No. This is not real. Is it?

11:34Did you write that before we got in? No, that's real. What date was it sent? 21st of June 1967 or something right I mean it is it does have like brown tea stain paper zoom in on that zoom in on that have you yeah you've typed that on some tea stains no I haven't there it is I mean it looks quite authentic to you there because it looks oldie time what did you say you want to British pound you in half hyper inflate your fanny hyper inflate your fanny you think that's what I don't know if that's what it says yeah so in June 1977 he says that he's going to drop in on the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations and this causes I mean it's quite a funny response for Britain I don't think we cover ourselves with glory here in the sense that he says he's going to drop in and then apparently it takes a whole department of civil service six months of their time to try and plan to make sure they could stop him coming and he doesn't even turn up there's a whole the government bandwidth at this point is taken up with stop.

12:39This is what happens if he arrives on a plane. This is what happens if he arrives on a private jet on a passenger plane. Yeah. Then it's kind of like trying to avoid social embarrassment or like the awkwardness. He can't come. He can't come. He can't. How are we going to make it so he can't come? He can't be too rude. I don't know of another world leader who just drops in. Yeah. Like the idea of like you're called to a summit. My diary is intensely planned. Oh, fuck it. I'm going to swing by and see what happens. But the entire department, like it's costing millions of pounds just to prevent him from coming.

15:02Why wait? Ask your doctor. visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more there's also I think is it Jim Callaghan who's foreign minister or there's a minister in the foreign office who admits that basically at one point quote I did raise the issue of assassination and it was not just frowned on but looked on as an outrageous suggestion but I'm not ashamed of considering it because his regime goes down in the scale of Pol Pot as one of the worst of all so they were genuinely talking about assassinating him just because he was so annoying so the main dispute the reason they said they sever diplomatic relations i think is because idi amin in 1975 uh he targets a british man named dennis hills who had worked as an english lecturer at a university in uganda since the 60s uh this man was uh he was 60 years old he's a war hero he's intelligence official but he wrote a book called the white pumpkin and it was not yet published but supposedly amin heard that he criticized his regime and called him quote black nero uh so he bangs him up and uh he the queen star the queen appeals to idi amin which um you know i mean i guess they're already you know they're already sending nudes to each other i guess they're sending nudes via plane yeah is that what i mean you couldn't just send a yeah you had to do it in a cargo drop but idi amin is definitely sending if he was alive today he'd be sending dick pics to world leaders yeah for 100 that's what he'd be doing you'd see someone on the news talking and he would just get send an envoy with a dick pic carrying an envoy presidential car with flags yeah yeah um so a man called sir chandos blair so is he not any relation to tony i doubt it sir chandos what a name that is i'd like to call my son sir chandos He does feel like a diplomat, Chandos Blair.

16:57You want to send in Chandos Blair sort of like the wolf. Sir Chandos. He flies to Campila to negotiate for Dennis Hill's release. Idi Amin takes Sir Chandos to the Uganda National Museum, parades topless dancers in front of him. Sort of like a page three distraction. Like, oh, look at all this. Look at some tears. Get him erect. Takes him to a tribal hut in his home region. On live TV, Idi Amin wears a sombrero and plays a small guitar, then hands the guitar to Chandos Blair still refusing to talk about Dennis Hills. Can we get a photo of him up wearing a sombrero? Why is he wearing a sombrero?

17:31He's a master of distraction though, isn't he? It's phenomenal. Tits out. I'm doing a little Mexican. When he's like, why are the tits here? Whoa, look at this. There he is. We're seeing a photo of him now. Massive sombrero. He's basically on a one-man stag. It's great. only so then jim callaghan but just as briefly no please we have a lot of business

18:03only when the foreign secretary jim callaghan flies to kampala did edie amin actually go okay that's a big deal how the foreign secretary fly out that far just for one bloke called dennis who's written a book about pumpkin so basically i do reckon jim callaghan's first thing he says is can you put the sombrero down? This is a hostage crisis. Please put the miraculous down. I mean, imagine, you know, the Gaza hostage crisis. If they're asking for release. La, la, la, la, la. Please, where are the hostages? Hey, look at the boobie. So he says, Idi Amin, after Jim Callaghan arrives, because of my respect for the Queen, I've decided to postpone the execution.

18:40They only then get rid of him because Britain agreed to send fucking foreign aid and military equipment. I mean, is this... He's playing UK like a fiddle, to be fair. He's fucking shoving his hand up and making us squeal. I don't think we've dealt with him well. No. I think we've fallen for everything. Every body faint has broken our ankles, basically. Absolutely. Hook, line, and sinker. I tell you what we are. He's Messi, and we're that right back that, you know, when he just ends up like that, with his legs apart. I can't remember who that is. Yeah, or do Messi versus James Milner. Yeah. Idiot mean.

19:13Idiot mean. This is Idiot mean. This is the British government. Oh, dear. On the floor, nutmegged. So after 102 days in prison, Dennis Hills returns to the UK, but only after Idi Amin has forced him to make a grovelling apology on live television. He just, he's completely dominating the Brits at this point. To be fair, he is the conqueror of the British Empire. Yeah, CBE. I mean, he's earned his CBE. Now, so in July 75, Amin assumes chairmanship of the Organisation of African Unity. Should we place 1975? Our listeners are very thick. They're lost. Many of them live underground in Warrens that they call command centers.

19:56They are qualified only to repair slushy machines in regional bowling alleys. 1975. I reckon that is... Is it after the prawn cocktail before the Rustler Burger? You're speaking their language. Let's hear it. prawn cocktail charlie i like a cocktail bet you do late 19th century wow so it is after the prawn cocktail yeah is it before rustling i thought rustlers burgers we need to know when the rust first rustlers burger is invented 1999 okay there's quite a wide berth there but still pretty good you placed it beautifully what's better rustlers burgers or ginsters ginsters i don't have a rustler's burger i've never had a rustler we know do you know we had it once do you remember oh when we did uh it wasn't that bad was it even though it was bad i forgot microwavable bread no yeah no how does it preserve you god forbid what's been put in there yeah to keep it going no that that's surviving a nuclear yeah exactly it's going to be the exact same condition in a thousand years aliens are going to come down and there'll be no trace of humanity apart from a pile of rustless burgers and some fleshlights and they'll be like what the fuck was this society i guess i guess if you can't find your fleshlight a rustless burger wouldn't be a bad substitute i mean i'm surprised we haven't got sponsored by rustlers we were just talking about how we're struggling to get sponsored because of the nature of the show rustlers i mean we're talking direct to their demo i mean microwavable beef and if we could like maybe if i'm trying to do like a madman advertising pitch sell rustler's burger as a pair in the way that fish and chips do you know what i mean finn versus history and rustlers rustlers and fleshlight it's like it's like you sell it as a pair we need a quick shot launch masturbator but for rustlers yes where it heats it up and then it just puts it into your face or you got two at the same time yeah so you've got the quick shot here and then you've got one here and then someone's force-feeding you a rustlers but it feels like these these people don't have many places to be why are they trying to do it is it for the busy finmessish tree listener yeah he doesn't have time to order a burger so they have to microwave one because they're so busy masturbating but they're not even masturbating no they're outsourcing that to technology i don't know what what they get they're saving a lot of time they've got age of empires 2 to complete they've got warhammer models to paint they don't have time they need a microwave or burger not to taste in 60 seconds this episode is not sponsored by rustlers but i would like it to be come on rustlers one of you must be listening yeah one of you who are the team at rustlers i want to know what these guys look like you know i want to see what those scumbags you know we know we know t-shirts we know all the people who run our lives digitally you know we know zuckerberg we know elon musk who is the elon musk of rustlers it must stink in there obviously it stinks yeah let's have a look let's have a look rustlers owner yeah three bald white guys yeah makes sense i mean they don't look bad They do look bad.

22:59They do look bad. Have you ever, but you know, you peel the, you know, the bag, the same kind of packaging you keep like raw chicken in. They have a cooked burger. Yeah, that is crazy, but that doesn't look, aesthetically, that is a burger. What do you mean? It's a fake picture. It's owned by the Kepak Group. It's an Irish-based family. It's, Rustler's produces a range of microwavable hamburgers and hot snacks. So it's an Irish invention. I thought it was American. Of course it's Irish. Yeah, it makes sense. Ah, would you put the burger in the oven? uh it started as a butcher's shop in dublin found by noel keating any relation to ronan come on come on come on if we have cracked open that rust that keating is the rustler's nepo baby give that man a knighthood they are are they relating are they relating are they related there is no evidence that noel keating is related we can't know we can't know life is a rustler's burger you just gotta ride it but it's interesting that like i'd love to know the rustlers butchers what were they selling so it was just a normal butcher that you go to and then one of one one genius put a burger a fully cooked burger in the microwave and found out you could make it wet and then people who can't who struggle to swallow i imagine there's someone who like he wanted to eat his burger later so he put it in his pocket and he goes yeah it's hard to put a burger in your pocket yeah and then they had to make that big jump anyway uh we're talking about the organization of african unity which is an organization designed to promote solidarity amongst the african states uh and kampala hosts the annual summit that year now he issues conspiratorial warnings about the west charlie find a photo of this is absolutely hilarious he gets a scale mock-up of cape town and had ugandan air force planes destroy it in a bombing display as a sort of watch out like about apartheid.

24:54So he makes a little sort of fake basically bombs a fucking airfix model so he made an island. So what scale is the model of Cape Town? We're watching it now. Edie smiling in fatigues. Everyone looking fucking great. These must have been so much fun though because if everyone's like a dictator of a failed state yeah like it's so much fun to hang around you're all killing it you're all killing it yeah you're all this is on it on its knees but this part is great but this is why you do it isn't it look yasser arafat's there yeah it's i mean this is brilliant here we go so he gets the ugandan air force to just bomb an island we're watching it now and this is a mock-up now how much has he mocked up cape town that looks like he's just bombed a forest because it looks like he's just gone that forest cape town fuck it, bomb it.

25:48There's no better boys trip than if you're all African dictators. Imagine how good it is to see each other. Imagine just going to spoons with President Abonjo. What's going on? What's going on? Imagine the stories you both have. Same, same. This is brilliant, isn't it? I'll keep going. This is fucking great. Nice new medals. We're fucking killing it. We're fucking killing it. So at the summit, he also decides to host his own wedding to a 19-year-old go-go dancer from the Suicide Revolutionary Jazz Band, his own in-house jazz band. Amin is 50 at this point. Yeah, he's doing the Ronnie Biggs. It's all about board.

26:25He is doing the Ronnie Biggs. And now she, Sarah Kiyobala, is engaged to another man. Amin gets around this by claiming her baby as his own and beheading the fiancé. Yeah, that's fair. Fair enough. Yeah. He's politically deft. Yes. He manages to, you think you've got him in a corner and he manages to wriggle out. Well, chop his head off and that's my kid. Done. The wedding cost£2 million. Now, I think this is basically like a sort of improvised wedding. And he basically organises an African summit around his own wedding to a 19-year-old. There they are. Look at the photo of them there. The happy couple.

27:01The happy couple.

27:05And he basically forces the leader of the PLO, Yasser Arafat, to serve as his best man. How close are they? Because he's woke.

27:18It's like trying to... Yeah, I mean, that does give him some woke points, though. Yeah. He's trying to impress a 19-year-old with blue hair. Yeah. He's my best man. Yasser Arafat. Leader of the PLO, actually. Oh, so I'm right wing. Well... I wouldn't think so. My best man's Yasser Arafat. Exactly. Yeah. Two weeks later, the couple goes on to meet the Pope. and then Sarah eventually escapes to London after Amin is deposed and works as a hairdresser in Tottenham which is interesting very interesting you know Jacob Hawley owns a barbers in Tottenham I do know that yeah are you saying I don't know you know he owns maybe two barbershops in Tottenham so he at least must know about the hair shopping hairdressing community in Tottenham very ironic he had a hair transplant it is ironic didn't need one either why does he own barbershops in Tottenham.

28:12He's a wheeler dealer. He's a businessman. He's working class. He's got a big shiny gold watch. Doesn't know what to do with his money. All my money is in the Caribbean. Yeah. That's where the patron money goes. Class. And the only thing I spend it on is Nazi memorabilia because that's what these people want me to spend it on. Yeah, well that's what you wanted to spend it on. No, I'm a cipher. That's what the people want me to spend it on. I'm a cipher. I am living, they live vicariously through me. Right. They pay me three pounds a month. You've got the spirit of Woden. They pay me£3 a month so that I can buy a Luger.

28:45In all seriousness, I have bought a German military watch from the 40s. Anyway, German military watch. Don't say which era. From the 40s. German military watch from the 40s. Anyway, you know, these people, these fat fucks that subscribe, they can't buy Nazi memorabilia. So you need to do it for them. I need to do it for them. Right. Your Honor. so it's sort of in the way that you when you watch the satisfaction of watching a mukbang you watch someone eat as much food as possible is that what's called a mukbang you know what a mukbang i think you did a lot of mukbangs just the camera wasn't on get a mukbang up you must know about mukbang it's korean thing so it's like you basically live stream i thought it was just a korean dish no look here we go so i imagine you mukbanged quite hard but yeah these guys were doing it for lots of money and it's you know it's content but i think you just never turn the camera on.

29:37Well, yeah, I mukbang a dish of mince pies, I suppose you would say. You did, that was a mukbang. See, if you'd filmed that, that would be great content. Yes, I guess so. Man eats 23 mince, like 32 mince pies. 24. 24. 24. What would you think of mukbangies in 12 minutes if you didn't know? I thought it was like a hot spicy soup. It's just a woman eating an entire side of salmon. This is deranged. Yeah, it's still, you know, there's something to it as far as content. So often it'll be hot skinny girls eating an unbelievable amount. Yeah. And are people finding this sexy or just some people yeah for sure see I'd rather watch a fat woman not eat something than watch a skinny girl eat loads of food what resist the temptation yeah so have it all out in front of her yeah yeah and watch her sort of struggle they don't swallow apparently what do you mean is that part of the mukbang what like tasting wine where do they put it where does it go where does it go where do they just all vomit up next door sorry I researched this is something incredibly stupid I think sorry you're saying that all these people have eating disorders yeah they have eating disorders i don't believe that for a second oh they edit out and oh sorry i i thought what fever was implied is because oh no i thought you said they don't chew that was making me stupid i thought it'd just swallow it all whole yeah there's this fat guy he's the famous one yeah and but people pissed off him because he lost weight nicard nicardo avocado yeah because what happened is he'd like in the way that we batch cook this podcast what's a stupid name excuse me he's one of the most famous mukbangers in the world sorry give him some respect Nickardo Avocado he's Conqueror of the British Empire with a name like that you'd have to fucking film yourself eating I don't know if he was on his birth certificate mukbang is a great slur though I'd like to bring that in yeah you fucking mukbang I think what because what he'd done is he'd in the way that we batch record these I think he batch recorded loads of mukbangs for like six months yeah so he's just fat fat fat and the next week he's like, I'm not fat.

31:33Anyway, we need to get to the 1974 documentary film that Idi Amin commissions by a French director. It's hard to get a film funded though. It is. It's called Idi Amin Dada, A Self-Portrait and it follows him through official events and it's a very carefully choreographed thing. Amin provides his own... What I Do In A Day? Basically, yeah. You know, it's it. What I Do In A Day! Amin provides music for the film. It gets a credit. it it comes out at cam uh and he's humiliated provides music for the film yes there's a cordial sombrero okay so he scores it but it's it's a polymath it's premiered at cam right in 1974 this is very french in the 70s though they're so obsessed with being subversive you know this is around the time that the fucking ayatollah's in the suburbs and people are saying this guy's a great hippie yeah yeah you know they're just anything like this anything that's empty western anti-imperial they think is like you know you know high art this is post-structuralist this is nothing's real what even is the edge of consent yeah so Amin gets embarrassed by the film because it shows the Ugandan elite parachute regiment training which is just coming down a playground slide it's the Zambian it's the Zambian space programme there's also footage of Amin berating his foreign minister Michael Ondonga two weeks after the premiere Yeah, Ondongas Baldi turns up floating in the Nile.
