"Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest!"
In 1991, a man named Jack Karlson was apprehended by police outside the China Sea Restaurant in Brisbane, delivering what would become the most iconic monologue in internet history. But what is the true story behind the "Succulent Chinese Meal" guy?
Was he a dangerous criminal, a misunderstood artist, or simply a man who knew his judo well?
In this episode, we dive deep into the wild life of the man also known as Cecil George Edwards. We move beyond the viral video to explore Karlson’s history as a serial prison escapee, a master of disguise, and a legendary Australian larrikin. From the "charge" of eating a meal to his final years as a celebrated folk hero, we investigate the man who turned a routine arrest into a performance for the ages.
