Judas Iscariot

**Judas Iscariot** is a recurring character in the Aunty Donna Podcast played by Sam Lingham and based on the religious figure Judas Iscariot.

He is a man who loves silver, to the point that he betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of it. He will do and be anything you want him to be, as long as you give him some silver. His accent changes depending on his state of mind and he speaks in both English and Aramaic.

## Biography

### Betraying Jesus

Judas betrayed Jesus Christ in the year 0. (*Podcast Ep 110 - The Zach Ruane Politics Show*)

### Portraying Jesus

He later portrayed Jesus in a 1940s Christmas play in Jerusalem, aided by 1940s Zach and 1940s Broden. Unfortunately, the production was a profit share and so he didn't get much silver. Aunty Donna appeared after travelling back in time to see him. He performed a monologue from The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekov as himself, then as a duck upon Broden's reccomendation, and also performed Nikki Webster's Strawberry Kisses 2017. This performance wowed the auditioners and he got the part. (*Podcast Ep 118 - Judas*)

### Zach Ruane Politics Show

Around 80 years later, Judas appeared on the Zach Ruane Politics Show on which he met Malcolm Turnbull as well as Ruby Rose. He asked for silver, and rapped on Turnbull's rendition of Gangsta's Paradise. During the rap, Rose offered to give him a shank made out of a plastic fork to fuck up Jesus Christ which Judas turned down because he wanted money. Rose sweetened the deal with two packs of 2 minute noodles and extra Tampax which he accepted, and they formed a plan to kill Jesus again. At the time, Judas was on board with Turnbull's campaign after being given silver. Zach asked him about Turnbull's new dad-fucking policy, but Judas withheld his statement until he was paid silver. He talked about rubbing silver all over his body in the bath to the tune of the Seinfeld theme. (*Podcast Ep 110 - The Zach Ruane Politics Show*)

### Sin Grin WFM1016 Youth Student Radio

He appeared like an ethereal being on Sin Grin WFM1016 Youth Student Radio which was hosted by Jim Jam Joom and featured Goofy Gavin and Very Serious German Man. He had gained a Cockney accent. The Serious German revealed that Judas was originally in a trio with him and Gavin, but Judas left to become a lawyer, believing it would make him more financially secure. Gavin gave him ten pieces of Silver to tell Jim that the podcast was over, even though there was ten minutes left. He also sang part of the theme song for Gavin and Serious German's adaptation of Tim Winton's *Dirt Music*. (*Podcast Ep 112 - An Archetypal Comedic Dichotomy*)

### Aunty Donna CEO and receptionist interviews

The boys involved him in interviews for an Aunty Donna CEO on the Aunty Donna Podcast. During Mark's interview for the role, he asked Judas to betray his best friend for some silver which Judas said he'd get done. Louisiana Jill told Broden to compliment Judas, and he said he liked the way he had a fervour for silver. Judas struggled to compliment Zach because he couldn't stop thinking about silver. (*Podcast Ep 113 - The Search For A CEO*)

Judas left before Mark and Zach started interviewing for a new Aunty Donna receptionist. He later returned, met Andrew W.K. the Goldfish and was asked about gold, which he seemed not to care about. Broden promised him silver if he answered all of their emails, and he agreed. This gave the boys the idea that he could be their receptionist, as he met their criteria of not being a building, a goldfish or a German man as well as agreeing to dress up as a panda (for the price of silver). He said he would cut off Jesus' head, commit suicide and lie to the Looney Tunes squad about Michael Jordan's secret stuff for silver. (*Podcast Ep 114 - The Search For A Receptionist*)

While looking at the German Man's references, Hamish claimed that Judas was his friend, and Hamish said he frequently spoke Aramaic to him. (*Podcast Ep 115 - Stern German Mans References*)

He helped Broden to look at Andrew W.K.'s references with Andrew's mother and father while in Heathrow. He commented on the British class system and the amount of silver they had, expressing disdain for the lower classes as they had none. He went to Tesco to get some butter for Broden so he could spread it on the mother. He had previously met Nigel 24 years ago when they had had anal sex, and Nigel gave him a tickle of silver. (*Podcast Ep 116 - Andrew W.K's references*)

On the podcast, Judas talked about fences, particularly the one on the East Link that's next to a golf course. He said he checked and there was no silver in the fence. He claimed that he would do anything for silver, but the compromise sting played which caused him to walk back on this. Later, it was revealed that he had been inceptioning Mark, Zach and Broden to want to give him silver, but this was revealed to be an inception by the boys itself. (*Podcast Ep 117 - Paradise Pier Hotel's References*)

He was present before the boys went back in time to the 1940s. (*Podcast Ep 118 - Judas*)

Judas sang along to Can't Touch This by MC Hammer. After Gladys' Sister died, he suggested they go to the future. They saw Robot Greg in 2022. He had developed in character by this point, and was interested in more than just silver. He then promptly died. Mark time travelled back to 2017, where Judas was alive, but he died once more. (*Podcast Ep 119 - Gladys's Sister*)

Judas guested on the Theatre Review Show, helping to interview Joe Kosky. He later sang a song from *Jesus Christ Superstar*. (*Podcast Ep 120 - The Theatre Review Show FEAT. JOE KOSKY*)

He helped host the Country Morning Show with the boys as well as Loretta, Michael Worthington and Buckjoe Bill. He plotted with the other hosts to kill Worthington, but later decided instead to kill Check-In Charlie. (*Podcast Ep 121 - The Country Morning Show FEAT. MICHELLE BRASIER*)

He came on the show *Running Away From Your Problems* so he could risk death and win big. He was running from the absence of silver. For a food, he chose silver, and he also said silver for a movie set in Paris, which he got points for. He said he would make a three course dinner for his mum-in-law with just a smoothie and pumpkin. He said that he had given a few wristies, and gave one to Harry Styles. When asked what his favourite Beatles song to group masturbate to was, he said *Come Together*. To close out the show, he sang a song. (*Podcast Ep 122 - Michelle's Party Quiz Shenanigans FEAT. MICHELLE BRASIER*)

He hosted an SBS talk show alongside Frogman, live from Stokers pancake restaurant. His guests were Ben Mendelsohn and Platypus Pill. He ate a vegan savoury crepe while they chatted. Mendelsohn asked Judas to get him a Holden Commodore, for which Judas demanded to be paid siver upfront. He also asked for bars of silver as a pancake, and after some problems he managed to obtain fifty million dollars of silver. (*Podcast Ep 123 - conversationswithfrogman*)

Judas made a brief cameo being played by Tom while the boys assessed the results of the first Aunty Donna World Cup. (*Podcast Ep 124 - Aunty Donna World Cup*)

Judas was given the job as Aunty Donna receptionist (as well as some silver), and celebrated this at a British pub. Ben Mendelsohn had persuaded him to poison Jesus' drink, but Andrew W.K. the Goldfish kept forgetting he had ordered drinks for everyone and this complicated Judas' chances of succeeding. Jesus said he had had a girlfriend but that she has left him for Judas. He stopped doing his signature voice as it was hurting his throat.
