Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Blinter Vista episode 175. We're here at the Bachelorette Mansion. I'm a white woman aged 25 to 30 and I'm relatively attractive but I'm very quirky. I am not like other girls. In my hand I have just two roses, but 30 extremely average-looking white men with job titles like account manager and sales standing in front of me. My first choice is going to be a property valuer from the Sunshine Coast, the tribal tattoo sleeve.
Starting point is 00:00:55 His interests include travel, adventures, and banter. Andrew, will you accept this rose? Oh, I'd be fucking stoked to accept this rose. I've never had a connection like this with anyone before. We just have such a connection, don't you think? Oh, that's fucking sweet. Well, you, me, and the other guy that I'm going to choose. It's very tough to choose between the other 29 identical men,
Starting point is 00:01:20 with whom I share a very strong connection, and all of whom have chiseled six-pack abs. I am a real free spirit, so I'm going to choose the one man who doesn't. Theo, will you accept this rose? Absolutely. I think I'm actually here because of a casting error. I'm not sure they actually, they know, I didn't apply. I don't think they know who I am. I haven't been on the block or seen the block the block the block, the block, the block, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, to to to to to to, I'm, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, throwne, throwne, throwne, tho, thoomoomoomoomorrow, tho, thoomoooomorrow, thoomorrow, tho, tho, 't think they know who I am I haven't been on the block or seen the block so I'm not sure if I'm actually qualified to be
Starting point is 00:01:49 here. Well look here you are and we're sharing a beautiful connection so. All right and I'm told the next next date is jet skis on a lake. That's right okay I'm very afraid of those. Big day before helicopter date of course. I'm hoping I get helicopter date. It's the best one. I will however be fuming back at the mansion the entire time you guys are riding jet skis and kissing. Punching holes, punching holes in the dry wall. I believe she's kissing some of the other guys. God damn it. I can't believe she would betray me like this. This woman that I have known for several days and have shared several very strong connections. That's right. I was hoping later on we could share a
Starting point is 00:02:34 connection in a room and sort of we're just talking and then it kind of fades to black. That is what connecting is. What are they doing? What are there? Is it like, that's canonically they're getting fingered, right? Like that's... Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. No sex. Straight up fingering. Straight up fingering. Which happens afterwards. I haven't seen the bachelor, so, well, the bachelor, or whichever one this is. Lucy, I was just reading about, I guess this year's season, American season of the bachelorette.. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, thaton, thaton, that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the, the, thaton, thaton, thaton, thaton, thate than, than, than, than, than, thananananan, that's that's thanananananan, that's that's, I guess, this year's season, American season of the Bachelorette. Oh yeah. Have you, have you seen any of that? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That apparently the woman who was on the Bachelorette got introduced to all of the Bachelors, and she went, that one, done. Wow. And they said, get this woman out of here. And they did a few episodes, and then the two of them said, we're engaged now and left the show together. And then they just shuttled another woman right in there. That is a beautiful connection. Good for that. That's lovely. But they did go out of their way to make her look like a real bitch before she left. Oh, okay. Because that's that's that gotta have your drama. You've ruined the show so... I don't watch this to see nice stuff happening I watch it for women being bitches about other women.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Or guys being like oh I can't believe I got dogged by the boys. Yeah dog by the boys every time. If there's one thing I hate it's getting dogged. And, dogging. And to be dogged by the boys no less. You know if you if you got dogged by like a mugger and a car park you'd be like, you would expect it. Of course, but the boys? No. The last the last people I would expect to be dogged by would be more boys. That's right. Yet it seems like the most common way to be dog dogged. the boys. the boys. the boys. the boys. the boys. the boys. to be the boys. the boys. to be the boys. the boys. the boys boys boys boys boys boys. the boys boys. the boys boys boys. the boys. the boys. the boys. the boys. the boys.

That's right. Yet it seems like the most common way to be dogged is by the boys. I suppose.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I think it's most notable way. Well, it's the kind of really sticks with you, isn't it? That's a betrayal. Yep. Hate to be dogged. If you've ever been dogged by the boys. Don't write into us at all. We don't care on any level. Please write into Mailbag at Buntavista.com with the worst dogging that you have ever received at the hands of your boys. Perhaps the best dogging that you've ever received at the hands of your boys.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Okay. And if you are not from Australia and you're desperate to know what dogging is... Just type it straight into Google. No, don't. Don't accidentally find out about the British version of dogging because that's a whole other thing. Yeah well they're perverted, perverted people, we know this. It's true. They are perverts, sickos, one and all. And speaking of perverts and sickos, we have our own ones of those. And one of them that we've talked about quite a few times is Celebrity Chef and Big Time Wacco Pete Evans. The man who has been staring into the sun for months now, trying to cleanse his cornears.
Starting point is 00:05:41 His brain is just cooking. It's just roasting up in there. Sizzling like an egg in the hot sun, you know? So we've talked about it before on the show. We talked about it on episode 147, hobby grams, episode 150, Mr. Hitler. them. All right. And a bonus episode, Vandergrift Generator. Fuck, we're so good at titling episodes. Yeah, it's pretty good. Enjoying those. I'm laughing, just thinking about what the Mr. Hitler title came from.
Starting point is 00:06:18 I can't remember on any level. It's like Hitler's Crocodile. I wasn't on that episode for I looked it up. And that's different, that's different to the too many Hitler's episode, isn't it???? that. That, that, that was, that was, that, that, that was, that, that was, that was, that was, that was, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that was, that was, that was that was that looked it up. And that's different, that's different to the too many Hitler's episode, isn't it? That was Italian Bavaria, sorry. Anyway, uh, episode 147, 150, and the bonus episode, Vandergrift Generator, if you would like to go back, through some of the Pete Evans' canon, including things like his biocharger NG product that he endorsed and was promptly fined by the therapeutic goods administration for selling a what was it like $20,000-show? Yeah, I think it was $12,000. It's supposed to generate energy in frequencies that are healing. The only material effect I think it has is breaking whatever the legs of whatever table you place it on.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Because that mothecker was huge. It was huge. It was very large. It was something like six or eight thousand dollars postage. Yeah I'm not sure that anyone bought it but well go back. I did but that was before I've read about it. Go back and listen to those episodes if you would like to hear Well, go back. I did, but that was before I've read about it. Go back and listen to those episodes if you would like to hear Theo lose his mind as he discovers that not only are you able to cure yourself of various diseases and ailments by programming recipes into the biocharger, but also that you get the recipes on a subscription-based service, which will cost you $1,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:07:50 So that is Pete Evans on his Facebook page, where he has one and a half million people who follow his page. Including two of your friends, I know it in this screenshot. Yeah, what do you know that too. To be fair, I suppose he was at one point simply a celebrity chef. He was just a chef or as he describes himself in his information section here, organic paleo chef. Health coach, food is medicine. It's not. It's not. Motivational speaker, author, student, teacher. Imagine
Starting point is 00:08:22 being a student and a teacher. What a well-rounded man. Husband, a proud dad, surfer. And then underneath that it says information.

This disclaimer of liability applies to damages or injuries, whether based upon consumer law, negligence or other cause of action. I believe this covers the posts that he has on there that say things like, quick chat and are then attached to like a 45-minute long video of him rambling into the camera on his laptop. Just visibly mentally ill. So tanned. Very tanned. Very tanned, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, very intense, to intense, to intense, to intense, to intense, thiiiii- to thi- to to to thi- thei- their their their their their to- thei-n, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligence, or negligance or negligance or negligance or negligance or negligance, or negligance, or neglig or neglig or neglig or neglig or neglig or neglig, or to to to to to Just visibly mentally ill. So tanned. Very tanned, very intense eyes. So yeah, he's basically become one of these wellness people. He's he's been a grafter, a grifter and a grafter the whole time. He kind of started off with
Starting point is 00:09:41 wellness bullshit. Theo, I believe this is one of your favorite details about the Pete Evan story. Yeah, and we have covered it before, but um, I like to read it. No reason not to say it again. No reason not to say the words out loud. So in 2015, uh, Evans co-authored a cookbook called Bubby Yum Yum. The Paleo... Sorry, can you say that again but slower? Bubba Yum Yum. The Paleo Way for New Mums, Babies and Toddlers, which raised controversy after being called, and I quote,
Starting point is 00:10:16 Extremely Deadly for All Babies by health experts. It's the one review you don't want, isn't it? It's really a nail in the coffin there for your baby and also for your book. Well, you do need less nails for those coffins. Oh, no. Extremely deadly for all babies is, I'm going to say it, probably the worst review you can get for your baby cook. But one of the best Cannibal Corpse albums. So... We didn't mention that he's also been on my kitchen rules for many many years at this point and despite publishing a book
Starting point is 00:10:54 that is extremely deadly for all babies the Seven Network said public reactions to the event were not a concern and supported Devons. And following the controversy they made several changes to the books but expert noticed, noted that the recipes in the new version were still potentially dangerous for babies. So from memory I think the recipe in question was a bone broth for babies. Yeah. What if I were to simply feed my baby with this thing that has zero of its nutritional needs? I mean, what's in bone, Brass?
Starting point is 00:11:28 Bone? Maybe a bit of salt? Babies need bones. They're trying to grow bones. And what are going to grow bones? But you can't give them... What they're waving with some bone juice? But not with calcium, their the calcium from your bones. And that, quote, most doctors do not know about this.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It's a very, that's no wonder he became a trump guy with sentences like most doctors. That's such a good way to phrase, like every doctor thinks I'm a fucking moron. Like, it's such a good way to phrase something that when you would present to a doctor, they would go, what, what are you talking about? What are you even saying? Calcium from dairy can remove the calcium from your bones. What are you saying? And he goes, hmm, well, I guess I know a little something about bones that you know. It just makes a little note in his pad. That's ten doctors.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Ten doctors, not a single one have heard about this. Very concerning. It's all bullshit. tha. tha. tha. tha. thiiiia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiole. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. their their their their their their their their their their the calcium calcium, thea calcium, thea. thea. thea. the concerning. Who doesn't trust doctors because it's all bullshit, you know? They're lying to you. Food is medicine. Yeah, and I guess, you know, that's some of the kinds of advice, like calcium from dairi can remove the calcium from your bones. I guess that's some of the advice that you should not take from his Facebook page? No. That's right. He's his own disclaimer and that. And you can tell that was like, that is under absolute like pain of of being sued, right? Like that notices on there from his lawyers and they're like, do Pete, you just shut, just shut the fuck up for once, put
Starting point is 00:12:58 this on your page. It's non-negotiable, and he's just being a big sooky Wawa about it, just like folding his little arms and rocking them back and forth. Mmm. Yeah. And, um, yeah, I think, uh, he was into the deadly baby book, the How to Kill Your Baby in 10 days or less, a cookbook. The... The... Come in, hurry.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Then they, then he sort of got into like the kind of, hey, hey, you should just stare into the sun a little bit every day. You know, good for you, good for your eyes. You should get some sun on your yoni, that kind of thing. That's right. Then he was right off into selling all of his biocharger stuff. Then he kind of, then he just dipped off into becoming a full-on Q&on guy. Yep. Got very Q&on. He was posting a lot of stuff about like, hey, Trump will be doing mass arrests and executing Ellen DeGeneres live on stage, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:14:07 But always finishing it off by saying, hmm, interpret that how you will. I was just trying to see how different people would interpret this thing that I posted. Yes. Curious. Q and on guy stuff, you know, New World Order is a natural precursor to of course becoming a COVID hoax conspiracy guy. Hey this is all just, you know, the one world government's attempt to get you to sign up for their scawey vaccinations, that kind of thing. Right. This is just the natural pipeline so far. And so he is reaching its natural end.
Starting point is 00:14:47 And what is that? The natural end to being a maga, shithead and Q&on guy is to just post actual Nazi material onto your Facebook page. And he did that today? Today. He did that today by posting a cartoon. Now, I'm try and describe this for you here. This to me is the quintessential like Boomer Facebook post, which is that it is some type of
Starting point is 00:15:18 old, like, newspaper cartoon sort of thing, which looks as though it has been scanned and then run through several layers of like JPEG artifacting and decompression. Yeah. And it depicts a caterpillar and a butterfly sitting across from each other. And they're both, both seem to beto be drinking I guess a glass of wine, perhaps a cup of tea. Speech bubbles on both of them and very poorly done over the top of this in a way that it makes very clear that it was not part of the original image. The caterpillar has a Make America Great Again hat on and the beautiful black butterfly has a symbol on him, which is a series of runic sigils
Starting point is 00:16:10 running around in a radial pattern. And we'll get into that in a second. The caterpillar says, you've changed. And the butterfly says, knowingly, we're supposed to. Peters posted this saying, an oldy but a goody, as though. Peters posted this saying, an oldy but a goody, as though he has encountered this before. Now, just to make it really clear, the caterpillar is wearing a Make America Great Again hat,
Starting point is 00:16:37 the butterfly has a white power symbol on its wings. It has a neo-Nazi black sun symbol stuck on the side of it. Shall we get into attempting to interpret this cartoon? I'm not, I feel like I get the gist, just very straightforwardly. Cut and dry. Yeah, so... One step process. There's really only one way I think that anybody reasonable can take this if you're looking at it, which is to suggest that the natural evolution of somebody who is in the Make America Great Again camp is to, I guess, evolve, change, grow, and turn into a beautiful neo-Nazi.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And there's no way to assume that he's being critical of this. He's not saying that Maga guys become neo-Nazis and that's bad because he is a Maga guy himself. Yep, and he has put a peace emoji, a heart emoji and a rainbow emoji. So that is, I feel all in support of becoming a neo-nazi. Just gotta love each other, man. So, yeah, Muga guys and neo-Nazis just have to learn to get along. So just a little bit of background for anybody who doesn't know about the Black Sun symbol, because I did see some comments in the replies to Pete Evans saying, hey, all cultures have these kinds of mystical, runic symbols from their past.
Starting point is 00:18:07 A real classic, hey, the swashstick is a piece symbol. Yeah, real, real classic, that kind of stuff. Yeah. So just for a little history on this symbol. In 1933, Heinrich Himmler acquired Vilsborg, a castle near Paderborn, Germany. Himmler intended to make the structure into a center for the SS, and between 1936 and 1942, he ordered the building expanded and rebuilt for ceremonial purposes. Now the way you've started this, Andrew, it kind of sounds like you're taking this in a sort of Nazi direction.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Soutly kind of headed the... There's a... look, yes you are picking up on some foreboding hints that maybe this will get Nazi-ish, seeing as I am describing a literal castle Wolfenstein. As a product of Himmler's remodeling, 12 dark green radially overlaid SIG rooms, such as those employed in the logo of the SS, appear on the white marble floor of the structure's North Tower. The symbol became known as the Black Sun, after the publication of the 1991 A cult-thriller Novel the Black Son of Tashilumpo by pseudonymous author Russell MacLeod. The book links the Vivalsborg mosaic with the neo-Nazi concept of the Black Sun, invented by former SS officer Wilhelm Landig as a substitute for the Nazi swasticker,
Starting point is 00:19:30 and a symbol for a mystic energy source that was supposed to renew the Aryan race. It is utilized... Still not sounding good. Hmm, I know what you're thinking. Context matters. It is utilized by far right neo-Nazis and white nationalists. The symbol often appears on extremist flags, t-shirts, posters, websites, and extremist publications associated with such groups. A number of far-right groups and individuals have utilized the symbol, including the Christchurch Mosque Shuder, Australian Neonazi group Antipodianane Resistance and the Ukrainian Far Right National Guard Regiment as of Battalion. The symbol was displayed by members of several extremist groups involved in the Unite the
Starting point is 00:20:11 Right Raleigh in Charlottesville, Virginia. So I guess when you put it like that, it has only ever existed as a Nazi symbol. I feel like there's such a thing as having too much context Andrew. Sometimes you just got to let it flow through you. I'm having context overload right now. But there's no way to, that he, I mean, we can't assume, we can't assume, we can't assume that he knew what that was. Yeah, so somebody has replied to Pete's post on his Facebook page, saying, The symbol on the butterfly is a representation of the black sun, lull.
Starting point is 00:20:48 To which Pete has replied, I was waiting for someone to see that. I mean it's right there on the picture that you posted. It's very straightforward. It is, but again if we're going to try and interpret this, we can, there's really again, only a few ways that we can take this. There is either, I know what the Black Sun symbol is, and I still posted this, and I was waiting for someone to see it and say something about it.
Starting point is 00:21:21 The second is that he didn't know what it is, but he's incredibly fucking stupid, and his whole deal is, I'm just asking questions, etc. And he has tried to play this off as, yes, interesting. Some people were upset by this. That's fascinating. I mean, there is a third possibility, right? Which is that he doesn't understand what the image is about anyway, but he doesn't understand anything. And like the information that comes through him, it just sort of flows through him, uncritically,
Starting point is 00:21:59 unexamined, and sort of like flash cards for a baby. He sees something with the right pixels and the right sort of shapes on it that he enjoys. It's got a little hat on it that he recognizes, that he wears. And sort of got, whoa, hey, I like this. It's like a, an old, a new take on an old thing. I'm not really sure what that's, what what that's something is, but you know, whatever. Which is very strange, right? Because it, what does he think this is? What does he think is going on here?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like, and the answer might be, he doesn't think at all. He's just a dumb shithead. Like, and the answer might be, he doesn't think at all. No, well, he's just a dumb shithead. And, and like, I have to say, I personally agree with the idea that like, I don't think that Pete Evans is like an outright white supremacist or Nazi or whatever. I think he's really dumb. I think he is one of these people who was bought into his own like wellness bullshit hype so hard. And also that he clearly has been able to monetize and turn into a lot of like traffic and popularity his entire, hey everybody should be very very critical of anything that is offered to you
Starting point is 00:23:32 from any position of authority. Everybody should be very critical of anything that comes from a doctor, anything should be critical from anything that comes from a government, anything should be critical of anything that comes from like, you know, a medicinal standpoint. Right. And this is like common though, like this kind, like white supremacy and like hippie culture is like quite common because of this reason. Yeah, yeah, and I guess what I'm saying is I think that, I think that, I think, and you know, obviously we're just speculating wildly here.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Nobody truly knows what is in the heart of Chef Pete Evans. I mean, he's a huge piece of shit either way. Yes, yes, absolutely. I guess the thing is that, like, making your money out of like deliberately sewing, doubt and misinformation about things like, you know, the accuracy of information about like, like, like, like deliberately sewing, doubt, and misinformation about things like, you know, the accuracy of information about like the coronavirus pandemic, and, you know, actively telling his 1.5 million Facebook followers don't wear masks and don't listen to the government and don't get vaccinations and go out to these protests against the government for trying to stop the spread of a disease that's killing a bunch
Starting point is 00:24:48 of people, all that sort of stuff, does make you an absolute piece of shit. In this particular case, what I am kind of reading this as, is him posting something that he maybe didn't completely understand. Yeah. Uh, having people say, hey man, what the fuck is this? Attempting by editing the post. So he edited it about 12 hours after he put it up from saying, an oldie but a goodie, peace sign, love, heart, rainbow,
Starting point is 00:25:19 to an oldie but a goody, peace heart, love, love thing. There are many different interpretations of this image. Peace and love to all, always. Yeah, and as we've kind of covered, there isn't, there's just one. There's one. And it's just one. Peace and love. Understanding the image, and then there's not an interpretation.
Starting point is 00:25:36 the image. Which is not an interpretation. Which is not an interpretation, 100%. But I also don't think that the two concepts are actually that far apart, right? And it's sort of going on what Lucy was saying earlier, that there is this pipeline all the way through to this, and like boiling down what you were saying, Andrew, one of the core issues here is the distrust, not just the distrust of anything mainstream, right, or anything from authority, but the distrust specifically of mainstream knowledge, right? And what leads from there is an absolute, like, just random behavior, just faring off in all directions, and it gives a massive surface area for the worst shit in the world to so can.
Starting point is 00:26:26 So all the stuff that we've mentioned there, right? Like the coronavirus stuff leads directly into, well, you know, we want this is, you know, they just want you to get a vaccination because it's the new world order, like you said, because UN is sort of doing it, and suddenly you're asking questions like, well well what else do they not want us to know? Did the Holocaust actually happen? That's exactly right and then suddenly you find yourself with some very strange bedfellows some of whom are Nazis right and like the 5G stuff again leads immediately into new world order, George Soros stuff anti-Semitism,
Starting point is 00:27:06 did the Holocaust happen, neo-Naziism. I'm not going to say that everyone ends up at that final thing, but... It's the natural progression. It's the natural progression. And the not understanding, right? Him not understanding this image, and the not understanding is a key part of the process. When you are incapable of distinguishing fact from fiction like Pete Evans is has made an entire career out of right proudly.
Starting point is 00:27:30 He does not know shit. I think it's not just about being unable to differentiate. I think it's about like taking part in this very active process of setting, like calibrating your brain to say whatever is broadly accepted as common knowledge about a thing, I reject that. I will react to that. Yeah, I will look. I will bounce off of that and yeah, head in the other direction. Yeah, in the name of asking questions, looking for alternative sources of information,
Starting point is 00:28:04 all that sort of stuff. And none of this is to like, you know, obviously we're not disputing the idea that any given person can say, huh, this thing kind of seems weird to me, I'm going to look into it a bit. But you know, if you went around and just, like if you said I feel kind of weird about like vaccinations, you know, I'm going to go around and I'm going to talk to like 10 different GPs. I'm going to book myself appointments with 10 different GPs and 10 different suburbs who all don't know each other and have nothing to do with each other and talk to them about it. And if they all say the same thing, like, I think if you come away from that and either say, huh, I guess that's kind of the deal with vaccinations, or if you come away from it saying,
Starting point is 00:28:48 there is a massive conspiracy coordinating all doctors to feed me the same bullshit, then that's definitely a U-Problem. Yeah. Like, that is a, that is a, you have gone to the effort. Like people who get very into Q&O, like Pete Evans, I think you have, you get to a point where you've basically actively participated in an effort to recalibrate your own ways of accepting information. And look, you know, I'll walk back slightly what I'm saying, which is, I'm not saying that I don't think there's any way that Pete Evans could be a big-time racist or whatever, because, you know, he's also a big-time fucking Donald Trump supporter.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. I think, though, that what has happened here is definitely, is definitely interpretable as a dip shit guy who doesn't really think about anything he's doing because he's constantly, you know, posting these like hours long Facebook live rants and stuff where he just just blathers shit about alternative medicine and stuff for hours at a time. And much like talk back radio, I don't think anybody's talking for like four hours at a time. And much like Talkback Radio, I don't think anybody's talking for like four hours at a time and saying anything of value, you know? So yeah, he's always busy posting all this sort of stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I think this is a case where he has just continued to run against things to the point where he's just posting something and then has had an attempt at going, oh, actually, there are many different ways to interpret this thing. And he's wound up replying to somebody on his own post to say, it is, he has responded to Kaiser Strappleberry. To say, it is fascinating to Kaiser Strappelberry. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. To say, it is fascinating that an image can represent so many things to so many. Not just one thing.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Just one thing. Just one thing. For many, it is a representation that we are all evolving from one thing into another. Then what do you think the symbols were? What do you think that the symbols are? I feel like in this specific scenario, the one thing that's evolving into another thing is kind of relevant to the conversation. For others, it is that we all have love and light and darkness in us all, and to make peace with that.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Didn't see anyone saying that. Where the fuck is the I feel like I don't have neo-Nazi in me, you know? That's just not the duality of man. Others see white supremacy or Nazism, in parentheses, which is something I definitely do not align with. So please do not cancel my lucrative deals, or the things that I have that give me money and make me part of the mainstream but I'm not so don't do that. Others see it as a Trump-supporting Caterpillar having a drink with its opposition. It's not really it's not it.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Why is it? I mean the caterpillar and the it's clearly the butterfly is clearly the caterpillar further in time that's the that's what the relationship the it's clearly, the butterflies clearly the caterpillar further in time. That's the, that's what, the relationship between a caterpillar and a butterfly. Again, if you, if you took those symbols off and left it as the original untouched 1993 cartoon that ran in a fucking issue of the Washington Post or whatever, uh, we would all look at it and say, ah, the caterpillar is the person who has not changed. The butterfly is something that they have changed and they've become better for it.
Starting point is 00:32:34 This guy makes me so mad. He makes my, the outside of my brain kind of boil off all the moisture, leaving the inside of my skull and the top of my brain just completely dry. Full steam. Full, full, full, he also says. I don't believe we just keep putting him on TV. I lose my mind. And he has an enormous audience. That's the worst thing is this is so dangerous. Others see it as others see the symbol on the butterfly as a pagan symbol. No they don't.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Which again would be someone mistaking it because that's not what it is. It certainly isn't. Uh, not a pagan symbol. Just say, oops, I didn't know what it was. I didn't think very hard about it because I'm a fucking moron, move on. Because my brain doesn't work because I have no nutrition in my body. He says, apropos of nothing, I have in the past celebrated the tribal people of Australia. What? Pardon? I have in the past. I feel like we've got a more succinct way of saying that? For that. I have in the past celebrated
Starting point is 00:33:41 the tribal people of Australia as people can witness in the magic pill documentary and the work we did to support Hope for Health. Currently I am supporting the OSTF original sovereign tribal federation, so the notion of what a few people are saying on these comments is preposterous. But nods of the people. So I post one neo-Nazi meme and suddenly I'm a neo-nazzi. Again, love to all and be careful not to jump to conclusions that fit a narrative or beliefs. But have you considered that I have previously used the quote-unquote troubled people of Australia's beliefs to make me some money?
Starting point is 00:34:22 So now who's the bad guy? That's right. I can't be racist. So basically at this point a lot of people are starting to reach out to like the people who publishes cookbooks and say, hey now can you stop publishing them? Yeah. And they have said yes. Well I'm not sure which one of these came first because he has posted something on his Facebook page to say, sincere apologies to anyone who misinterpreted a previous post. Correctly interpreted. Yeah, sincere apologies to anyone who interpreted the post that I had the most did.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You saw it and had a little think about what was correct. Sincere apologies to anyone who misinterpreted a previous post of a caterpillar and a butterfly having a chat over a drink and perceived that I was promoting hatred. I would fucking love in just in this whole scenario for him, just for, you know, if he were to get back on TV again to say, what do you think it means? Not, not there are many interpretations and lots of different people have told me the tofs. of of of of of of of of of of of of of the of of of to to to to to to to to to their p to to to to to to get back on TV again to say, what do you think it means? Not, not there are many interpretations and lots of different people have told me these things. It's what did you personally think when you saw this thing? When you posted this thing.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Well, he explained a whole bunch of hoarse shit, like, he gave the standard kind of spiel that anyone, when pressed on these sorts of beliefs gives. And that's a whole bunch of stuff about love and light and darkness and whatever and you know. I love just posting a neo-Nazi symbol followed by a big rainbow and some love hearts. Yeah, and I get it dude, we've all smoked weed. That cannot be your entire personality. I also really like that he has boiled his interpretation of the comic down to a caterpillar and
Starting point is 00:36:12 a butterfly having a chat over a drink. Because that's all it is. Just asking questions. He says, having posted a big picture of a love heart with a rainbow gradient fill. I look forward... It's a clip art. It really looks like shit. Sorry, sorry, Andrew, you started this with all the wrong tone, can I get it in a baby tone, please? Like a big old sook. Huge, just a huge bitch tone, please.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I look forward to studying all of the symbols that have ever existed and researched them thoroughly before posting. Fuck off. How was I to know? How was I to know that the obvious fucking symbol is on the first? Well, I guess I'll just never speak again, and I'll just go away forever. Eat dirt and then publish a book on how dirt is good for babies. Do people pass a certain age where they no longer are able to distinguish like, you know
Starting point is 00:37:11 how like the Tyrannosaurus Rex can't see things when it's moving? If you are past a certain age you lose the ability to determine when something has been added to an image after the fact. I think so. I don't think the thing about the T-Rex is true, but I think, but I th, but I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the, tho, tho, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, the the, the the theat, the theat, the the theat, the theat, theat, to to to to to to to theat, theat, the the th an image after the fact. I think so. I don't think the thing about the T-Rex is true but I think I think so. We got a T-Rex truth over here. Yeah, because like like we said this this fucking cartoon it is so so clear that somebody has used like MS paint to cut out this Make America Great Again hat. There's like the very badly scanned cartoon, there is the cut out hat, which is a photo, not a comic, and then the big clip art fucking Nazi symbol stuck on this other thing.
Starting point is 00:37:57 How anybody would look at that and not immediately think, someone has added these two symbols to this thing to give it this particular context or interpretation. Maybe I'll think about that for a quarter the the the the the the the the the the the that for the the that for the the that for a the the that for a the the the the the the the the theateateate their their their their their their their their is their is their is their is their is their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their theirto this thing to give it this particular context or interpretation maybe I'll think about that for a quarter of a second. Yeah not people. And to my 1.5 million followers like it's clear that he just he does not give a single shit about the information that he's presenting to like in quite you know safety considerate context as well right right, like with
Starting point is 00:38:26 the nutritional stuff, with all the sort of things that he presents. Like if I think I got something wrong on this podcast, I'll like stew on it, I'll be checking the discord for like a week to see whether anyone's like... And then they tell us how wrong we are. And then they tell us how wrong we are. Oh, okay, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just their their their their their their their, their. their, their, their, their, their, I'm, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. their. to. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the their. their. the their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. to. their, their, their, th. their. th. their. tell us how wrong we are and they're, ah, okay, it's just them, we don't, I don't really care, but, like, just the consideration that you wouldn't care about getting things wrong to your audience, it's just, completely alien to me. I cannot imagine how this guy's brain works. I cannot picture the thoughts in his head. What is wrong, really? Everything is open to interpretation, thiiiiiiiiiaauuuuiauiauiauiauiauiauiauia. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. Just, just just really, you know? Everything is open to interpretation.
Starting point is 00:39:05 It's just perception, man. It is just perception. Just asking questions. It's just a little, it's just a magic trick. This, this life that we call, yep. Life. But again, I know we're really banging home the point.
Starting point is 00:39:22 No, it's fine. We can spend all hour on this fucking idiot. I. banging home the point. I think that this is... No, it's fine, we can spend all hour on this fucking idiot. I think that this again is the issue with this type of, you know, disinformation farming that happens on Facebook, more particularly than any other platform, which is that you just put out whatever, but if the entire thing, like if the whole thing that you're telling all of your followers is, anything that comes from any source that would normally be considered reputable or mainstream or, you know, supported in any way by academia or research or a government body or certification or regulation or anything is by definition corrupt and suspect, therefore anything I tell you that runs counter to that, theoretically must be correct.
Starting point is 00:40:09 And looking at the replies to that post as, like, followers of his, try to do the work for him of interpreting the post, is quite staggering, or like trying to, to suggest what it is that they think he meant by it. Right, to defend him. Yeah, it really shows you. Like here's a reply.
Starting point is 00:40:36 If that symbol even means that, then it is saying that Pete Evans is the caterpillar. He is famous for his hats and the caterpillar has a trump hat, which I assume Pete Evans is the Caterpillar. He is famous for his hats, and the Caterpillar has a Trump hat, which I assume Pete Evans supports. Therefore it is saying that others have changed, but he remains young and innocent? Question mark? Oh, so he's just a Trump guy. He's not a neo-nazzi. Yeah, that's totally different. Except for, he's not one of the he's not one of the neo-nazis that does support him
Starting point is 00:41:08 that's totally different but uh... yeah huge idiot huge dumbass and thankfully uh... pan mcmillan Australia the publishers of his cookbooks put out a statement today saying a penmillin does not support the recent posts made by Pete Evans, those views are not our views as a company or the views of our staff. Pan McMillan is currently finalizing its contractual relationship with Pete Evans and as such will not be entering any further publishing agreements moving forward. If any retailer wishes to return Pete Evans's books,
Starting point is 00:41:38 please contact Pan the mc. We could look the other way with the baby killing. But the Nazi stuff we have to draw a line where it becomes not financially feasible for us to continue. Yeah, the psycho-kewinnon stuff, they're selling the flashing light machine and saying it'll cure your herpes, these things, you know, whatever. I also, I think someone kind of alluded to it early in the show. I also enjoy the turnaround on this because it's clear that their lawyers
Starting point is 00:42:10 have presented them with a float-shart that is easily consultable on Pete Evans's behavior where it's like, well, we'll put up with it until here. If it's this, they've just hit that point. They hit that point, they hit they hit they hit they hit that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big that big they've just hit that point. They hit that point they hit that big red button, eject. We're done. We're done. Dimmick's books has also said we are in the process of removing his books from our website and advised our stores to return their stock as offered by the publisher. Thank you. What's this last little, what's this last little Beavans thing you've put in here? As friend of the show, Jim posted, just noticed that he, you know, I think perhaps. Maybe you're really charitable in saying he didn't know what he was posting.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Maybe a little charitable temptation on what he's going on. This is on the same thread. From Chef Pete Evans to one of his various Gremlins, you may wish to have another look about the true history about Germany. Hmm. Yeah, it's just open to interpretation, man. I'm just asking questions about the Holocaust. Oh boy. Woo! Well, look, fuck you, Pete Evans.
Starting point is 00:43:28 I hope you, Pete Evans. I hope you never get any money ever again in your life. I truly, I don't, I was trying to think earlier on today, I'd, there's possibly no one on earth I despise more than Pete Evans. And I, I include include like Ivan Millat. Are you tired of paying nothing for the same old superior quality free episodes of the Buntavista podcast? Do you want less politics and more content about diarrhea, or animals gone wild?

If you find that you are having a little relationship trouble just to pick up your telephone and dial it on the double. You call one eight hundred, three one seven, five one five, five, now your page in dottings. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Incredible. It's nice to delve into Reddit relationships. And as Ben has titled this on this Sawyer's occasion. I like it. Very nice. Appreciate your work. Oh, title. 32 year old female says, my husband, 35 year old male did soy face in all our wedding photos. Now... Oh, this first line, oh the first sentence has already got me. Now I will just take a second to say, I feel like a little while ago, maybe not on Buntavista, it might have been on Boney Island Whitefish available on the bonus feed that Riley and I were talking. And somebody said something about soy, soy, soy face. And a list. And a list of the thank thi tha, tha, oh thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their this their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi thi. thi thou. thi thou. that. tha. that. thooooo. th. thoooo. Oh. th. thooo. Oh. Oh. Oh, their their their their the bonus feed, that Riley and I were talking,
Starting point is 00:46:07 and somebody said something about soy, soy face. And a listener was like, hey, you guys are parroting right wing talking points. And I believe I said at the time, you know, the term soy face is absolutely a thing that came from like, weird right wing internet chuds to describe a particular face the guy we're reclaiming it. That's our word it's our term. And this is this is 100% a thing where I have to say well when I say soyface you know the face I'm talking about right and if you Google soy face you will
Starting point is 00:46:42 immediately see 6,000 pictures and you will know exactly what we're talking about in this article. And we can still make fun of ourselves. Yes, I don't think that saying Soyface is perpetuating the conspiracy theory that by drinking lots of soy milk you will become feminized. No. Throw away account because my husband is really active on Reddit. Of course it is. You think? Oh boy. There's your first mistake lady. We had a small wedding recently, outdoors, and hired a photog to take pictures. Not really a long word. He could have just gone with it. Fotug. In the pictures where we aren't looking at each other, my husband is, unbeknownst to me, smiling with his mouth open extremely wide and pointing at me with finger guns.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And she has bothered to clarify for us, which is great. Not like he's going to shoot me, more like, look at her. Oh, all right. That's good. I'm glad he wasn't threatening you. Your wedding photos. With his finger guns. It's sweet but really ruins the photos. I didn't know until the pictures came back. We have maybe six wedding photos that I would want anyone to see. God. We spent $1,700 on the picks and most of them are so embarrassing. Oh, that is an expensive photo, I have no idea how much a body photographer costs, but that sounds insane. It's probably, it's probably American dollars, so it's probably, probably about right.
Starting point is 00:48:12 But also, I'm gonna say it right here, this is at least as much the photographer's fault. I agree. For not saying, hey buddy, stop. Stop that. Let's just get one without, yeah, without the face. I need you to immediately stop doing that. She goes on to say, my husband won't retake any of them and also wants our Christmas card to be one where he's making the face while tipping an invisible fedora. Come on. He thinks it's funny and shows our personalities. But it really feels like he's making me out to be a chump because I'm smiling sincerely. Well, you are the chump in this scenario.
Starting point is 00:48:57 You certainly are. You have played yourself. I mean, I already have some thoughts. Okay, well, hold on. Should I just go ahead and give up this time? Yes. Or should I press further on the photos? It's not the first time he's done something like this and in the past I've just kind of allowed it but this is our wedding. So ordinarily I would just simply say dump this man but I've got to say you've gotten to the point of marrying this man.
Starting point is 00:49:27 This is not an outlier, you know, this is not the spider's George of this man's activities, his behavior. You know, he has been this man the whole time that you've been together. There's no way you didn't know that this is the person that you're marrying. Oh boy. And now you're married, so you know, you've committed to it. So you're saying she should just live with the photos? I'm just saying that she must have loved this man to marry him, you know? I'm sure this isn't the first time he's pulled a face like this in a picture is all I'm saying. Can I just point out there that I kind, I totally understand where the soy face stuff is coming from because like I have a, I am almost medically incapable for, like, of smiling in
Starting point is 00:50:14 photos. Yeah, I don't, I just don't smile in photos anymore because I no longer know what to do with my face. Yeah, and they're like, and then I'll smile and they're like, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. I'm like, okay, so for like people that are, you know, possibly ill-socialized like myself, I can totally see where the soy face thing is coming from. And like you said, Andrew, I'm not, full understanding that that is, you know, using the right-wing talking points, so-and-so-so forth, but there, but there, but there, but there, but the their their-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th....... th, th-so-so-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, thi-s-s, thi-s-s-s-s. tho-s. tho-s. tho-s-s. to-s. thooooooooooo-s, thoooo-s, tho forth, but there really is nothing else to call it. We do not believe that soy makes you grow titties. No, that's right. So I understand where it's coming from, but it's also like, at a, if you're at your wedding, you should be just smiling anyway,
Starting point is 00:50:58 potentially, like that's something that should be naturally, naturally happy at my wedding. Yeah a hundred percent. You know you might be crying, you might not. I'm just saying it would be normal if you if you did cry at your wedding. Go on. Yep. And if there were certainly photos of you at your wedding, crying, sort of tears coming down your face, you know, because of how happy you are. Yeah, you just, and look and it's it's fine. It's really is fine if you are, you know,, you know, you, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you might, you might, you know, you, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you might, you, you might, you, you, you, the, the, th, th, th, you, you, you, you, th, you, th, th, you, th, you know, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, you know, th, th, you know, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you know, thi, you might, you might, running out of your notes. And look, and it's fine, it really is fine if you are, you know, if there's photos out there of you at your wedding, you know, unmistakable you're all dressed up, you're in the suit. You know, you might be somewhere in Malaney, like say that your wedding was,
Starting point is 00:51:39 and you're just crying, right? And that's fine. It doesn't, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a the the the th. It's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a terrible, it's not a th. It's not a thi. It's not a th. It's not a mistake. It's not a mistake. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th. It's th.

It's not a thro. It's not a throwne. It's not a th. It's fine. It's not a terrible thing if you're there and you're crying at your wedding. But it reminds me of when I was at my wedding, which is not the wedding I just described then with the guy crying, where we went out to get photos taken and we had my two-year-old nephew with us, right? And in every photo, he like squinted his eyes, like closed his eyes really tight and then did like this really wide goofy smile and we're like, hey yeah Camden, that's great, that's great, can you do it with the eyes open and he wouldn't. And we just have to accept that all of the photos that we have with the, you know, are they page boys? Is those flower girls and... Yeah, it's a page boy?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Hey, I just want to clarify something though. Was, was anyone marrying the small child? No, absolutely not. So, so, and we just had to accept the small child. Right. The photographer, the photographer tried to get the small child to stop taking, making that face.

And we couldn't. And we're like, oh well, all the adults acted normally? That's the small child, but it's not the person that I'm marrying.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Because it would really, it only ruins the ones with the small child in it, not with the person that I'm married to now in all of the photos, then doing the face. I agree with you. It's like at some point you have to be able to say hey stop doing that fucking face. I think the answer to this predicament. Let's find a cry. I think the answer to this predicament is simply to tell him that he has to take the photos again or you will confiscate 15 of his rarest funco pops every week, until he finally relents. Or maybe not let him touch taboobies for a little while, you know? No booby times.
Starting point is 00:53:37 No sexy times. Oh boy. Yeah, that's, that's a bummer, but look, you chose who to marry. That's a decision that's... that's a bummer, isn't it? It's a bummer, but look, you chose who to marry. That's a decision that you made. That's all I have to say. Also, it's 2020, you know? Stop doing the face. It's true. Get it out of here. Man, terrifying stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Speaking of other terrifying things. Mm-hmm. It's time for a creepy nature corner Country Roads Take me home to the place I belong Bultaneously Nature Corner Robbed crabs Listen, nature corner, rubber crab, sniffed my dear.
Starting point is 00:54:27 A place of beauty. A place of a monster wolf robots. A place of a monster wolf robots. Nobody knows where to go with that. Those the two things. Beauty and then at the other end, right down on the other end of the scale. I'm sliding the bead all the way to the other end of the apicus. Monster wolf robots.
Starting point is 00:55:00 This is for Reuters. Japanese town deploys monster wolf robots to deter wild bears. That's fucking awesome. Rules. A Japanese town has deployed robot wolves to scare off bears that have become an increasingly dangerous nuisance in the country side. The town of Takikawa on the northern island of Hokkaido purchased and installed a pair of the robots after bears were found roaming neighborhoods in September. It's popping down to the old monster wolf robot
Starting point is 00:55:34 warehouse. Where do you buy a monster wolf robot? I don't know I would like one. Alibaba I think. But you've got to buy like 10,000 of them. Uh, city officials said there have been no bear encounters since. Huh. Huh. Wow, well then it's an effective robot and I would like to purchase one. Bear sightings are at a five year high, mostly in rural areas in western and northern Japan. There have been dozens of attacks so far in 2020, two of them fatal. Ugh. Prompting the government to convene an emergency meeting last month to address the threat they pose.
Starting point is 00:56:10 I'm so glad that bears are not like a normal part of my life. I really, I can't imagine actually living with that threat. No. You ever see, like, um, you ever see like a news article about, you know, from North America about like grizzly bears or mountain lions or anything and people just talking about what you're meant to do like it's normal? Yeah and then they're like oh the Australia's got so many scary things in it. Not really. I don't ever have to worry like about a large mammal you know. All the ones that are oh, the problem is that if a big grizzly bear hits you,
Starting point is 00:56:47 you will just die. And also- They're enormous, like they're so big. Yeah, and they're like, if you try to run away from them, they will absolutely catch you. Yeah. And if you run away, that makes them madder because then they've got to run. So like hey I'm wearing this fur coat, it's hot out, now I'm running, getting sweaty, getting mad. I feel like all those things that like you're supposed to know to do are completely useless to me, someone who like freezes up when they have to do public speaking or whatever. Like if I was, I don't want predators to be part of my life. I don't have room for predators in my their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm threat. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm, thi. I'm, thi. I'm getting, thi. I'm getting, getting, thi.

I'm thin, teeeeeeeeeeeat thin. I'm theeeeeeeeeeeateeeeat. I'm getting thin. I'm getting thin part of my life. I don't have room for predators in my life and I will not be going down a mental checklist
Starting point is 00:57:28 if faced with like a big cat, like the Penrith Panther or whatever. The classic Penrith Panther. The classic Penrith Panther. It's a big threat here in Australia. That's what we're all scared of. The robot called Monster Wolf, consists of a shaggy body on four legs, a blonde mane and fierce glowing red eyes.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Oh, that could have just paid Ben to do it. When its motion detectives are activated, it moves its head, flashes lights, and emits 60 different sounds, ranging from wolfish howling to machinery noises. Have you guys heard these noises? Would you like to hear them right now? Oh my god, yes.
Starting point is 00:58:14 They really went a Mecca Godzilla style. Yeah, they really went a Mecca Godzilla style. Yeah, not like a normal wolf, like a horror movie wolf. I like that blending the machinery in there, very industrial, very cool. Nice. Machinery maker Ota Seiki has sold about 70 robots since 2018. Wow, good for you. The real Japanese wolf roamed the central and northern islands of the country before being hunted to extinction more than a century ago. Hmm. I'm seeing the issue here.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yes. Well. But then what would they have to counter the wolf attacks, you know? What are you going to make a robot out of then? Bars, I think. A robot of a big guy with red eyes firing a gun into the air. With a double-barreled shotgun. A plate shirt. Takikawa City officials said that bears become more active and dangerous as they search for food
Starting point is 00:59:17 before going into hibernation in late November. A decrease of acorns and nuts in the wild this year may have driven the animals to venture closer to towns in search of sustenance according to local media. No, they're just hungry. We all like snacks, you know? Yeah, give them a break, hunting them down with these robot wolves. He doesn't like a little snack. Uh, I do. I love snacks. You need robots to hunt down the magpies in this country, I think. Not my precious magpie friends. Come on. Yeah, they still swooping them kids?
Starting point is 00:59:47 Nah, they're just feeding their fucking annoying teenage magpies. They're so annoying. They're so... And they're the same side. They make a sound that's awful. And they just like hop around like 10 centimeters from the adult magpie just like shrieking at it. Yeah, to like give it food. Get out of here. Grow up. I'm gonna lay about. It really is the, uh, it really is the bird call equivalent of just going,
Starting point is 01:00:15 mom, mom, mom. I'm hungry. And then you hear them get something shoved into their mouth and they get, mom, mom, mom. And straight back to it. And then you hear them get something shoved into their mouth and they get me, mmm, ma'am, no. And straight back to it. Filty birds. From black birds to black faces, we've got to give you a quick Dutch watch. We're keeping an eye on that country folks.
Starting point is 01:00:45 We sure are. Somebody's got to hold them to account. It's got to be us. I feel like we're not like, as a society, as a world, we haven't been keeping close enough eye on the Netherlands. I haven't been keeping a tight enough leash on the Dutch. I think everyone's been like, oh, everything's normal over there. They've got to, got the economies economies the economy the economy the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, their their their their to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to hold, to hold, to, to hold, to hold.

Somebody's, over there, they've got to got the economies are they got the legalized weed, never really hear much about them and they've just gone well they couldn't
Starting point is 01:01:11 be up to much certainly nothing racist. So we have been talking recently and some of us have been copying lots of abuse from pro blackface Dutch people on Twitter. Yeah, yeah, and it is always, it's a fun coincidence that you go on there and they are retweeting like Ben Shapiro, various like white supremacists sort of stuff. But it's just tradition. Oh, I think you'll find that all those posts are just open to interpretation. Many different people have many different interpretations of those posts.
Starting point is 01:01:48 So we have been talking about the Zwati Piette controversy, which is of course the Black Peters from the Sinterklaus Christmas Tale, which involves Dutch people getting wildly blacked up. It's, it, like, it makes Chris Lilly look at it and go, wow, that's pretty racist, you know, you guys went too hard on the grease paint. Public libraries across, sorry, this was from the Guardian. Thank you, the Guardian. Public libraries across the Netherlands this was from the Guardian, thank you, the Guardian. Public libraries across the Netherlands are removing from the shelves children's books depicting a black-faced zoate beat, a sidekick to Sinteclouse. In the latest sign, the country is turning the page on a festive figure widely seen as being racist.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Hmm. I guess different people have different interpretations. Different interpretations. That's right. For at least a decade there have been protests against the practice of white people with blackened faces, curly wigs and exaggerated bright red lips, depicting the character at the nationwide parades held in early December to herald the Feast of St. Nicholas. The needs to socially distanced due to the coronavirus pandemic has assured that such high street festivals will not be possible this year, but the debate over the portrayal of Zwaite Pete has continued, not least in response to the decision by librarians to start removing books containing images of the character which first appeared in print in 1850 for being, quote, contrary to good morals. Hmm, I'm sure an image created in 1850 is definitely not based on
Starting point is 01:03:25 any kind of a racial stereotype. Yeah. So Anton Koch, the director of the Association of Public Libraries, said, quote, everywhere there is a growing awareness that's war the beat gives a stereotypical image of a certain part of the population and the libraries are moving along with this. numerous books. Thank you Mr. Cock. stereotypical image of a certain part of the population and the libraries are moving along with this. Numerous books... Thank you, Mr. Cock. Numerous books have been taken down over time for being contrary to morals. I am thinking for example of the children's books in which the population of the Dutch East Indies was dismissed as, Pat's Jackers, which means low-life rascals. Oh boy.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Zwartipi is also contrary to good morals as far as I am concerned. It is more that libraries are linking up with the spirit of the times. There's been a slow but unmistakable shift in public opinion in recent years about the depiction of Zwantipede, Sintaklaus's more servant, expressed most significantly by the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutt in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Rout, who has dressed up as Zwantipeat in the past and has defended the practice on the grounds that it is a simple representation of a figure that is black, said that this summer his opinions had changed.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Quote, Quote, when I met people who said I felt incredibly discriminated against because the peat is black I thought that is the last thing you wanted the Cinterclass party. I mean, sure. It is. It is the last thing you wanted your Cinterclass party. It is the last thing you wanted to see interclass party. It is the last, it's the last. It's. It's the last. It's the last thing. It's the last thing. It's th. It's the last thing. It's th. It's the last th. It's th. It's the last th. It's th. It's the last the last th. It's the last th th th th th th thi.

It is. It is the last thing you want at your Cinterclass party. It is the last, it's the last thing we wanted to happen, you know? Mm-hmm. Not here, it's Sinterclass. My goodness. A survey released last week by the current affairs program Invan Dogg of 29,000 members of its longstanding opinion panel found that support for the traditional depiction of peat has fallen from 89% in 2013 to 55% right so we're still mostly pros team. Still a majority. We're getting there. Cock said the Dutch Association of Public Libraries could not order all of its
Starting point is 01:05:40 members to remove the offending books but the librarians were making the right decisions without the need for guidance. He said, White children don't care about another peat, oh, I've gone Irish. White children don't care about another peat, and black children find it strange and nasty, and that is what matters. Some people also like fascism. And yes, that sounds crude, but I mean that a tribe cannot determine our policy. We see that libraries are taking on that responsibility on mass, and bloody good on them. Thank you to the librarians. Yeah, thank you to the Dutch librarians.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Dutch librarians for saying, bro, come on. You don't need the black face books, you know. And I think that's about it. It's about all we got time for. Theo. Any thoughts that you would like to leave us with today? Yeah, absolutely. So I've just found out the fucking Akira is on back in the cinemas. 21st November, that's probably going to be quite close for people when this is coming out. But it's in this... what is going to say why to say. the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that thi. that that that's that's that's about thi. thi. that's about that's about that's about that's about that's that's that's th. th. th. th.

Why did you just post show times for Akira?
Starting point is 01:06:50 Because it's it's in good lord. Sorry Akira. That's right. So folks, if you are within traveling distance of event cinema's Garden City Mount Gravett. Yeah. And you have listened to this before the 21st of November. It's still on. It's gone. Like it goes out till next week or more. So I assume it's playing. There's two times at Event Cinemas, Garden City, Mount Gavet. It's a bit expensive there, so maybe you can get on special.
Starting point is 01:07:25 And if you are in the United States or the UK, don't go to the movies. Please don't do that. Stay home. Stay home and watch Acuita on streaming services. Yeah. Or on Blu-ray if you can get the 4K version. And you got the TV to back it up. Yeah. 5.1 mix, I'd go. Also you were confused by Acira but you weren't confused about the image I posted previously, which is a large pair of breasts with big cups, surprise your man and the dude from get out in the background crying?
