Welcome to Wunta Vista, episode 200 Oh my god, this is awful. Oh, it's awful!
Welcome to Wunta Vista, episode 255.
Here we are again, back at the old place, back at the dick-sucking factory.
We've all taken back our old jobs, but this time, baby, we're unionized.
Here he is. He's on his mandated five-minute break following his ninth dick of the morning.
It's Ben.
May I just say, Ben, you are smashing those KPI's.
I have, I woke up this morning with a song in my heart.
You know, there's something truly beautiful knowing that you are getting paid for the amount
of value you are generating, that there's a direct correlation between the hard work you put in and what you get as recompense. th you are the the the the the the the the thu. thu. thu. thu. And thu. thu. thu. thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thin, the, the, the, the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. the. And, the are generating, that there's a direct correlation between the hard work you put in and what you get as recompense. And so I have just
come in and I am bruising my tonsils getting the job done, but you know what? I feel
great about it. You're loving it. I'm 32, flirty-two and thriving too.
Yep. Sure. And here's our ex-boss, but since we've flattened our corporate structure, thanks to the hard
work of the unions, he's down here on the floor with the rest of us and he is working hard.
Andrew, how are you liking it down here on the factory floor?
Oh look, you know, it's a, it's different to just sitting up there in my office,
looking at like I'd pull open the Venetians and look down on you guys, you know?.... Oh, their th and th. Oh, th. Oh, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th pull open the Venetians and look down on you guys, you know Ooh, are they sucking enough dicks right now?
Yeah, I don't see a dick in your mouth.
He's not using his hands at all.
But now you know, I'm down here on the floor getting my, getting my hands dirty, getting my mouth dirty,
getting my eyes dirty. Even you found appreciation for what we do? Yeah, very much and I think you know when when it's a real group.
the the the the the 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 th. Yeah, th. I'm their their their their their their their dick's their dick's their dick's their dick's their dick's dic. I's dic. I's dic. I's dic. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their dick. I's their th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's tip. I's tip. I'll. I'm. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't th. I don't. I don't lot easy to hit those KPIs, those those those key penis insertions. I really think the profit sharing has just really helped as well
that you know before I would just come in and be like I can probably get
away with only sucking three dicks an hour here and no one will really
notice but now knowing that every extra dick sucked at the dick-sucking factory every
day is more money not only going into my pocket but also into the pockets of the people around me,
but also into the pockets of the people around me and to the the the pockets that are in my
mouth for most of the day. It's so nice to hear. There's a lot of new benefits as well now,
all those regular breaks, all the cum you can eat. The free cum is probably the best part. That's probably the biggest perk I'd say. They used to just throw it away. Yeah. They used to just throw it. They used to throw. They used the come just the come just just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come just the come. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, the c. It's, the, the, to just. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. 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. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

Yeah.
Hainous.
Now it's all.
And the fuzbo ball table.
That's great.
It's the free cum.
It's the gallons of free cum and the fuzboll table that have really made it worthwhile for me.
Having a break and standing around the cum culer.
Putting a little paper cup underneath and holding the tap as it really slowly fills up.
How about that orange?
Oh, love what you do and you'll love a worker day in your life, you know?
That's right. That is so true. And like, we, the thing is, now that we have this new, newfound inspired dedication to the job,
we can't half-asset anymore. We don't do things in half-measures. We don't do just the tip.
But we got plenty more tips for you. In this week's, the tipping report.
I'm itching for another edition of the tipping report. I'm itching for another edition of the tipping report.
Hong Kong.
Just speaking of feeling connected to your coworkers and the common cause that you build towards,
that was a sensational segue.
Oh, thank you.
It was invigorating.
Yeah, it's just a, it went in a different direction.
That was delightful.
The tipping report, of course, the segment where we talk about trucks bills that have happened
sort of-ish in the prior fortnight, zero deaths, zero human deaths.
Here we go.
First up, we have 60 tons of vegetables on the Bruce Highway near the sunny coast.
Rips. Rips to those guys, yep.
Do they get any more specific about what kind of vegetables?
They did not.
They used a lettuce pun in the headline, but I think that was just for convenience, not actually
describing the specific nature.
I mean, most products to deliveries will be of, well, I mean if it's going to a warehouse
it would all be the one for a vegetable.
It's free vegetables.
You wash to say. It's free vegetables, you know, you wash that off, you rinse that under the sink and baby
you got a free salad.
Hey, your kale has been pre-massaged because it got run over by a Mazda 626.
Between 10,000 and 12,000 US dollars worth of vegetables on Buckland Hills Drive
in Manchester, Connecticut.
What did you get, buddy, two iceberg lettuces?
That's the topical.
That's the topical.
That's topical.
That's the topic.
That's the topic, that's great.
If you're paying $12 for a head of iceberg lettuce, you are a straight up fool.
Can you please write in. Like you to cooking where you were like, fuck, if if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I th th thi, if I thi, if I thi, if I thi, if I thi, if I thi, if I thi, if I don't, if I 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thi. th thi. th. th. th. someone that has paid $12. Like you needed iceberg that badly.
What were you cooking where you're like,
fuck, if I don't have iceberg, my kids are gonna kill me.
Like, I paid $6.50 for one a couple weeks ago.
But yeah, that's all right.
It's not great, but it's not $12.
That's for sure.
Also, it's always like, just for me, sort of noting a trend here of when it's journalists tweeting
a photo that they've taken at the Woolworths of the price of vegetables.
They're always at like a Woolworth's Metro or whatever where they're like they're in the
Cbd. Yeah, the metro one.
Yeah, well you're like, it's like seven bucks a capsum there in good times. What you fucking togu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, they's, they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's thu, thu, th, thu, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, they're they're that, that, that, that, that,? Go to a real supermarket, your ivory tower bitch.
Wow, the food is strangely expensive at this IGA on Swanson Street. Yeah. Yeah. There's like four vegetables in here in total. Oh man, the vegetables at Night Owl are very
poor quality and insanely expensive. This is crazy. Great if you had to bid on them when you went in.
Now we're talking. Got a four vegetables of the day. I need that tomato.
I need that flowery. I love an auction vegetable store. 200 liters of non-hazardous fluid on
highway 101 near Santa Barbara. Oh that's great news. Oh yeah. Well it could have been worse.
It could have been hazardous fluid. 600 liters of Tahini on an unnamed road in Newton, New Jersey. That's so much tahini. That's. That's. That's a a a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a th.

That's so much tahini. That's a lot of tahini. A place is going to smell good.
It's a delightful sesame aroma around Newton, New Jersey. That's better than when it's like a dump
truck full of guts spilled all over the road, you know. One of those things where it's like
for several kilometers around this area for the road, you know? One of those things where it's like for
several kilometers around this area for the next few months, yeah we're
having a bad time. We've evacuated southwestern Pennsylvania because of one
pig off will spill versus several towns are experiencing a delightful
sesame aroma. Tosted sesame smell. Have either of you ever been in a car
that has accidentally driven over an already dead
kangaroo?
No.
No.
Oh boy.
I remember we were, we were on a long distance trip once.
Like I want to say a drive between like Cambron and Bresbon, which we used to do every year
to see family and stuff. Yeah, accidentally
going over a kangaroo that was already dead out in the hot hot sun, which made it like splatter
onto the underside of the car in the hot hot heat and it was like you could smell it inside the car,
the sealed car, and then we
would stop to get out and you'd open the door just be hit. This wave, terrible wave.
I'll take Tahini any day of the week. Yeah, yep, absolutely. Several cartons of United States Postal

That's according to the beautiful luscious coats.
Killing zero now uncatchable fish.
The bastards are too slippery.
And finally, 34 tons of zinc into the Chion River in Peru,
killing an estimated 600 tons of trout
Oh, no. Yeah
That really yeah, really tips the scale back the other way it doesn't it? It does on average
each of those spills killed 300 tons of fish. Yeah, yep. Yeah, I that's a real shame. I think this is actually going to cause quite a few problems for the people living on the edges of the people living on their th. th. th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, tr.

Oh, thirty, thout. Yeah, yeah, it's a real shame.
I think this is actually going to cause quite a few problems for the people living on
the edges of the Cheon River in Peru.
Our hearts go out to them.
But hey, free trout.
Free dead trout that have been poisoned by zinc.
Those are yours.
They need to bring in one of those big plains that they use to repopulate the waterways
by dumping all the fish out of it.
There he is.
Hey, let's check in on the world of planes.
Plainly speaking.
Ah, this is your captain speaking.
Please return your seat to their upright positions as we are coming in hot on another edition of Plainly Speaking.
Yeah, this is you Lucy. Oh, this is me.
Yeah. Yeah. This is a story from the ABC.
Mm-hmm. I got it. I got it. Oh, baby. It's the Boeing 737 Max again.
It certainly is. You remember the Boeing 737 Max again.
Remember that?
You remember the Boeing 737 Max plane that they took out of the air due to being horribly
dangerous?
They're gone now, right, because they were horribly dangerous.
So, well, there's no reason why they'd be in the news again.
They were gone.
So they were gone. From the ABC, Boeing 737 Max midair emergencies revealed as US agency prepares to probe
production issues.
Hmm.
Boeing's troubled 737 Max planes, troubled is a very hilarious way to phrase that.
Yeah, it's like they're like a guy that's been embroiled in the mob is troubled.
Yeah, troubled.
Yeah, troubled.
Which have twice crashed. Airline authorities calling themselves mildly concerned. It's
peaking our interest. So they've twice crashed, killing 346 people, have
experienced at least six mid-air emergencies and dozens of groundings in the year
after an extensive probe cleared them to fly. The incidents pulled from US
government air safety databases are among more than 60 mid-flight
problems reported by pilots in the 12 months after the FAA recertified the plane's airworthiness
in late 2020.
So that sounds good, right?
Yeah.
Like, I think it's good that they've put the plane back in the air and have said, no worries,
it's good now.
We've fixed all the problems.
But maybe they haven't? Maybe they haven't. It seems like there might be some problems with the Boeing 737 Max. Someone should look into that. Someone should look into it.
Former employees of both Boeing and the FAA characterized the reports which included engine shutdowns and pilots losing partial control of the plane as serious ones,
with the potential to end in tragedy.
In one incident in December 2021, a United Airlines pilot declared a maiday after the
system controlling the pitch and altitude of the plane started malfunctioning.
Now, um, pitch is, uh, forwards and backwards tilt, right?
Yeah, like the angle of an angle that's going up or downwards.
Now an altitude is how high you are up in the sky.
There you go.
And one of the crucial things of being a plane is sort of being up in the air.
Yep. Yeah, so this seems like, and I'm no expert, I've not done flying lessons or anything like that,
but these feel like vaguely incompatible concepts to me the th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, the thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the their, their, their I'm no expert, I've not done flying lessons or anything like that, but these feel like vaguely incompatible concepts to me.
They do, and they also seem not that different from the reasons these planes crash in the first place.
Those are two of the, I would say, top 10 things you would like to be able to control when flying a plane.
And let's list off all of them. the the the the the the th, th, the th, th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thin, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, the, the, the, the, th. They th. They the, th. They the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thin, to the, to to thean, to to thean, thean, thean, thean, theeeeeeee, altitude. Yeah, number two, pitch.
Pitch, probably also important. Number three, start on yore. Yeah, yeah, so can we start on that yor.
What's the other one? What's the other direction you can move? Spin? Roll? Roll?
Roll. Speed. Speed. Speed are being good. All these things important. Temper speed, all of these words.
Speed, all these things important.
Temperature, level of oxygen.
Yep.
Working toilets.
Yeah.
Very important.
Extremely important.
And lastly, what the thing is that's on the TV?
Lastly, what the thing is that's on the TV?
Lastly, oxygen inside the TV. I went on a plane the other week.
Let me tell you, the entertainment selections, horrible.
Who did you fly with? Jetstar.
And then Virgin, and they had very similar movies. No good.
Why do you fly on a plane soon?
I don't think I watched anything.
Actually I lie.
Sorry, you go first. You know everybody's been trashing Quantis lately, as they do, as they deserve.
I remember it feels like it wasn't that long ago that I went on a Quantis flight.
And they still had like the CRT TVs up on the roof going down the aisle with one thing showing
on them?
Like in a small plane?
Like a Qantas link?
Maybe?
Yeah.
In 2015, I flew on, I believe it was, I think, Fiji airways, is that an airline?
On like a fucking, a big, normal-sized, supposedly modern aircraft. And the in-flight entertainment for the first leg of the flight to get to Fiji
was CRTs popping down the sit from the ceiling playing big hero six.
Wow. Yeah, I've never seen this. That's crazy. In four by three probably. Yeah, no it was it was straight up. It was a VHS copy. It had scan lines going across it and stuff. Oh, my god. You would have actually like that. Well, I was, I. I. I. I. That. That. That. That. That. That. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the first. the the the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the first the first the first the first the first the first. the first up it was a VHS copy. It had scan lines going across it and stuff.
Oh my God, you would have actually liked that.
Well, I was like, that's crazy, where do they get them from?
They're not making VHS anymore. It was a truly strange experience.
That sounds kind of nice to all watch the same movie together on the plane.
Yeah, me and like a bunch of other grown adults. What was the last movie that they made on VHS been?
History of Violence.
There you go.
Is that true?
Is that a fun little fact?
Last movie on VHS is a History of Violence.
Yeah, 2006.
Wow. Yeah.
Amazing.
Anyway, the movie I did try to watch on the plane was Dogg starring Channing Tatum.
Not very good. And it was so awful, it was so horrible American military propaganda that I turned it off
after 15 minutes.
Oh, it was not like...
It was no Top God Maverick, that's for sure.
That's...
Like, yeah, I watched it at some point because I think I had seen it referred to as like a nice family movie, and I was like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I their th, I th, I th, I their th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th. I'd thi, I'd thi, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th, I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. th. th. th. th. th. their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd their, I'd thi, I'd that, I'd that, I'd thr. It's thrown. It's tried, I'd tried, I'd tried, tried, tried, thrown. It throwneeeeeeee. It throwne, I'd like, oh, I thought it was going to be a movie for ladies like the sexy guy and his dog. I thought, I'll give it a spin, see if it's something the kids would
like because there's often things that you put on that I described as family movies and
then it's a lot of grown-ups talking to each other and kids are not interested in.
They're not keen on that. But yeah, I was watching it and was watching and was watching and was watching and was watching and was like and was like and was like and was watching and was like and was like and was watching and was like and was like and was watching it and was like and was like and was watching it and was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, and was like, oh, this is all just very like...
The whole movie was like, my life sucks because I was a Marine and also because I can't
be a Marine anymore and also I love the Marines.
Yeah, I want to kiss the Marines.
And they were like joking about how many people they killed in whatever country they were
in. Very cool. Just like having a lot of laughs about it.
Very cool stuff.
It just kind of wasn't funny enough or anything.
It wasn't anything enough in any direction, you know?
I don't recommend dog starring Channing Tatum next time you're on a plane.
What do you recommend people do with the 737 Max?
Wow.
An ABC investigation can also reveal the US government will announce
a new audit examining Boeing's production oversight of the 737 Max Planes. Did either
of you watch the Boeing documentary on Netflix? What do you reckon?
No, that's too scary for me. Probably not. I can remember what it's called.
There's a documentary on Netflix, it's about how awful Boeing is and how much the problems with the 737 Max are caused
by like serious internal problems with like cost-cutting, treating their employees poorly, ignoring
problems because they don't want to deal with them, they don't want to pay for them, things
like that. There's a bunch of people that came out and basically said thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Te thi. Te thi. Te thi. Te. Te. Te. Te. Te. Te. Thea their their the. Te. Te. Te. Thea their the. Thea their their thoombs. Thea thoombs. Thea 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 thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes. Their the. Their problems the. thea. thea. thea. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooombs. thea. thea. their superiors that there was problems with planes and with
manufacturing and basically just be told to shut up. It's not a problem, leave it alone.
Which is super cool. Yeah. Which is probably related to this kind of stuff.
In an email obtained by ABC Investigations, the US Air Safety Investigator,
the National Transportation Safety Board, said the Inspector
General's Office of the U.S. Department of Transportation would carry out what it described as vitally
important work. The dot Inspector General's office has confirmed that Congress requested an audit
of Boeing's production oversight and that the review of the production, the 737 Max will be a part
of this audit. Probably seems like they should, they
probably should be reviewing it. So Virgin, which has declined to comment on the
new data, Virgin Australia has ordered four of the same max eight model that has
crashed twice and 25 of a newer max 10 model which has yet to take to the
skies. But we'll probably be having a similar number of crashes. That's not great that they've ordered like four max eights. I. I, th. I, th. I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, their, their, their, the, 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, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, theat, the. theat, the. the. their their their their their the, their, their, their, their, But we'll probably be having a similar number of crashes. That's not
great that they've ordered like four max eights. I thought that they were just
doing these like newer max tens which they had dealt with the problem.
So the countries outside of the US have grounded, they have kept them
grounded, right? Yeah. And then they alleged that they have fixed the software problem with the MCAS system which caused the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the th the the thuasks the the thus the thus the thus tho-mx tho-maxe-maxe-max that-maxe-ax tho-ax-ax-ax-ax-ax eight tho-axxxx tho-ax thates thates.

problem with the MCAS system which caused the two crashes. Hmm, mm-hmm. Not great,
but you probably got a good price on those planes, though. They probably got such a
great price, like, can you imagine what a discount Boeing would have had to have given on those planes?
Oh my god, they're doing a three plus one deal.
They're just like, we're just like, we're just throwing an extra one.
Take another one.
A little max eight for you. Just go for it.
Take another one.
Oh, no more to pay.
Yep.
So both planes and the planes and the disasters were less a Lion Airflight that just plunged into the water.
And then the Ethiopian Airlines won,
which basically did the same thing,
six minutes after take off.
Oh, Jesus.
And Air Crash Investigator reports pointed to a malfunction caused
by the Max's flight control software system,
known as MCAS in both crashes.
Boeing was charged by the US
Department of Justice and paid US 2.5 billion dollars in fines and
compensation after it was found to have deceived authorities over the
systems complexities and removed references to the MCAS from its pilot
training manual. How many are... how many of like the MCAS systems do you
think 2.5 billion dollars could pay for?
Don't know.
It feels like for that amount of money, they probably could have just, you know, put the right
systems in the planes?
Yeah, well you could have added those extra pages to the pilot training manual.
Yeah, the thing is they didn't want to pay extra because there was enough difference in this system that pilots would have required required required like like like like like like like like like like like like their to to their to to to to to to to to their to be to be to be to be their $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $.5.5.5.5 $1.5 $1.5 $2.5.5 $ $1.00.5.5.5.5.5.00.00.00.00.00.00.00. to to to to pay $. to pay $. to pay $. to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay their to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to pay to to to toe.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.0.0.0.0.00.00.00.00.00.00. toe. toe. toe. toe. the thing is they didn't want to pay extra because there was enough difference in this system that pilots would have required like a
day of training. Like they would have required to pay extra training and if the
system is like close enough to like the previous plane or a plane that they're
already trained in and they don't have to pay for this extra training. So that's they they they they they they they they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't they don't th they don't have th th th th to to to to the the. 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 to to the. th th th th th th th th th the th th th the th th th the the the the the the the the their their the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thee. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the the the the. the. th's what they did and killed 346 people. Holy fuck, and how many people are in jail now because of this?
None of them, which is super cool that if you just have enough money,
crime is legal. Yeah, like you murder one guy and they make a whole big deal out of it and they put you in jail, but you murder
300 and something people because you were trying to cut corners and save money as like a corporate decision. Yeah, and fucking nothing happens and I'm tha thuuuuu. And I I I thu. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they they they're they're they're they're they're just just just thu. So thu. thu. they're just thu. they're just thuuuuuu. thuuuuuuuu. thuuuu. thu. thu. thu. decision. Yeah. And fucking nothing happens.
And I'm the first person to notice this about society.
Yeah.
Pretty fucked up.
Someone should write a book about it.
Yeah.
It's fucked up though.
Every time I think about shit like this,
it's not good.
It's bad.
It's really bad.
So after all this, they've unearthed dozens of other mid-flight incidents on Max planes during the aircraft's first year back in service.
Pilots declared mid-air emergencies at least six times last year, including one United
Airlines flight on road to Houston in October, which was not in the database.
The Max's flight control system also failed on 22 separate flights, a problem which
became the primary focus of the FAA's 20-month recertification effort after the two fatal crashes. So they're just
desperately trying to get this plane back in the air basically. For money, for
profit. It's super cool. More than 42 incidents involved equipment
malfunctions and on more than 40 occasions flight crews chose to ground the
affected aircraft while
problems were fixed.
Probably a good choice.
Yeah.
I reckon if I was flying a max eight and something went wrong, I'd probably just be like...
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm going to the Quantis lounge and I'm going to have a few Chardonnays and I'm just not getting
back on that plane.
In one incident on an American Airlines flight in April,
multiple systems including both autopilot functions stopped working soon after takeoff.
On landing, the crew found the backup power unit, considered vital for safe flight,
had failed and was emitting a strong electrical smell.
Good sign. That's what you want.
You want to smell like burning plastic when you're
flying a plane. I wouldn't be happy about that happening with a household appliance. Yeah.
Yeah. That's a bad smell. If my slow cooker starts smelling, you know like a burning element,
I'm disconnecting that. I'm not taking the chance, let alone in a fucking plane. You're pulling it out and you're throwing in the trash. You're never plugging in in again. I'm throwing it directly into e-waste.
That's right. Yeah. Another report from the NASA system detailed how in December a
plane had multiple system failures and suddenly lost altitude as the nose of the
aircraft pitched downwards and its speed changed rapidly. The crew was unable to provide an explanation. Now how would you, if you had to in layman's terms describe the phenomenon of a aircraft having
its nose pitched down on its speed change rapidly, what would you describe that ass?
You know, planes going up and then suddenly it goes down.
Yeah, and it's just pointing down and going a lot faster because it's flying directly towards the fucking ground? Yep. It's probably going a lot faster because it's
pitched down now, which is very similar to the reasons why these planes crash in the first place.
Imagine if you were on that plane. Like you would know, like this isn't one of those things
where like some lights are blinking in the cockpit and like the captain's like oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck but everyone else is just eating their salmon or whatever. Yeah you just don't know what's going on
and it's fine. Yeah this you'd just be like hey wait a second this seems bad.
Like you would very much feel a sudden like pitch down movement on a jet plane.
You would know that your body had rotated wrongwards at this point
that you were sloped a little too far forwards. If you don't have your seatbelt on, you probably fallen over.
You probably losing your drink if you're not holding into it, you know?
Yeah.
Some planes also had a multitude of problems. One Alaskan airline's max nine was grounded
seven times over five months ago due to malfunctions with its navigation or
communication equipment. Oh, this is a great line.
Thanks for bolding this one, Ben. A Boeing spokeswoman
told the ABC, None of the reports indicate a trend. Well you would fucking say that as the
spokeswoman for Boeing, wouldn't you? What a- None of the many, many, many reports.
If you put this data on a chart, you would be unable to draw a line through it. It would just be a big smiley face and then underneath the words, keep on purchasing Boeing Max's.
Hang in there baby. But don't worry, it's a spokeswoman. That's a good boss right there.
Yes. Yes. Women can be complicit in murders, corporate murders.
It's so great, and I love that.
It's so good.
In fact, the in-service reliability of the 737 Max is consistent with other commercial airplane models,
the spokeswoman said.
That sounds bad.
I don't trust planes now.
I don't know if that's true.
Since November 2020, the 737 max has flown more than 1.5 million flight hours in more than 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, true. Since November 2020, the 737 max has flown more than 1.5 million flight hours
in more than 580,000 revenue flights. The overwhelming majority of these flights have been
conducted without any incident. Like that's a phrase. That's like all cars are dangerous?
Well, what about all the cars is it don't crash? Yeah, like 99.9% of the time you drive a car,
the steering wheel doesn't explode through your head.
So, don't worry about it.
I don't really want like air travel to be like a, well it's more likely you won't die.
Yeah, you don't want to roll the dice on it at all.
Ideally.
Don't want it to be like a close, a close statistic possibility that I might make a sudden pitch-down movement into the earth personally.
Yeah, people have always been big fans of saying, oh, you know, statistically so much safer
to fly in a plane. And while that's true, I don't want people to continue to say that as like
the number of planes that are crashing steadily goes up. It's like, well, technically, more people don't occur.
Like just, oh well, most of our tests were fine.
Yeah.
Not ideal.
Not great.
It's not a trend.
It's not a trend.
Joe Jacobson, who has 37 years of experience as an aerospace engineer with the
federal aviation administration and Boeing, and who has also worked on air crash investigations, great show. I hope that mean the show.
I found the incidents unnerving. He was most concerned about the reported incidents involving
stabilizer trims which helped with the directional rotation of a plane, including during
takeoff and landing. It's a degrade airplane, Mr. Jacobson said. Oh, Boeing has a problem.
It's 737 Max is no longer hot.
It's called Boeing because you're Boeing to crash.
Yeah, that's the joke you made in the Discord like three days ago.
It's still funny. Don't pull back the curtain.
It's still good. I can see that on your face. Virgin Australia is expected to take delivery of its jets next year.
I look forward to that if you can afford to fly Virgin that is. Yeah. Yeah. Those domestic flights are
easily 20 bucks more expensive than their budget counterpart Jetstar. And you don't get a meal anymore.
You don't get anything special on those Virgin planes anymore. Except for the
cool lighting when you come on board and the music selection is slightly
better for when you're loading on. Yeah. Never noticed. Interesting. I've flown Virgin like
one time and I was like Starstruck. So this is how the other half lives. Nice music coming on here. Oh, there's very soft, non-directional lighting. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. thi. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the more the more theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee more the more the more this is how the other half lives. Nice music coming on here. Oh, there's a very soft, non-directional lighting. This is pretty cool.
I will, uh, I will be taking a jet-style flight up to Brisbane tomorrow to
kiss Ben on the lips.
Kind of fucking white. And I booked the flight and then a day or two later, like, when it was like a week before the flight. I got an email from Jetty saying, hey, do you want to upgrade your flight?
I haven't experienced this because I do not fly regularly.
Do you want to upgrade your flight?
And I went, no, and I ignored the email.
And then, a few days later, I got another email saying, hey, you haven't finished upgrading your
flight.
And I was like, I don't remember starting to upgrade my flight.
And I looked at the email and it was like, um, that's right, you could be upgraded to business
class, put in your bid now.
Oh, yeah.
You never did one of these?
I have not done one of these.
So yeah, the first email I went back and looked at it and it was like, hey upgrade your flight to business class just
bid against other people for an upgrade to business class and they've sent me
three of those emails begging me to participate in this process. You still
got a bit a certain amount of money though. It's not worth it.
Yeah you should be able to be like $1. Yeah, absolutely should. What are you going to do? Leave that seat empty?
What if it was just a hundred different passengers going like 99 cents, 98 cents? Yeah, I'd be sick.
That's a good system actually. Fuck them. We could coordinate that well, you know. Yeah, we need to unionize.
Yeah, we need to unionize the people that are bidding on business class seats on Virgin Flights need to unionize.

that' thiiii. slash Bunter Vista. Check it out. Well, they'll never get a union as good as I went down
here at the Dick Sucking Factory, but trying to get me to bid on an upgrade, that's a god damn
scam. Must be time checking on, scam watch.
You're at fire today. Yeah, damn. What is't you flowing. What is happening? Is this what you're like at work?
Never. So before we get into the scam watch story from this week, I have to tell my own
scamwatch story about a friend of mine that I saw on the weekend. I don't get to see him very often
because he just kind of, he, he flits in and out of my life.
Sort of every couple of years he just like stands up suddenly and says, I am moving to
another city.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I think he is a person who, like, yeah, just every couple of years he clearly just kind
of the itch to change something significant, you know. And so, um, several months ago I, I, I, I, 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, I, I, thi, I, thi, I, I, th, th, th, th, th, thy, thy, thy, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thich to change something significant, you know.
And so several months ago I contacted him because I was going to Sydney where he lives and
I was like, I'm going to Sydney for once instead of you coming through my town and saying,
let's catch up.
Do you want to catch up?
And he was like, oh, I'm going to be in Thailand for three months. And I went, oh
Okay, I
Just kind of assumed it was like work-related, you know, and he said but we'll catch up when I get back
And so last weekend he sort of announced a very short notice as he does that he was going to be in town and we caught up and we were hanging out and I was like, so, what took you to Thailand anyway?
Like, was it a job thing?
Was it whatever?
And he was like, oh, yeah, well, I went over there.
I was doing a test run for a thing I want to do?
And I was like, yeah? What is that? And he said,
well, I just wanted to see if I could like move to another country and just keep
logging in at my job where I work from home?
And see if anyone noticed? Ah. So, so he's probably just tell you a job that you're doing that. Well, I don't know if that would have tick to tick the tick. What that? what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What is that? What is that? What is that, what is that, what is that? What is that, what is that, what is that? What is, what is that? What is, what is that? What is that? What is, what is that? What is, what is, what is, what is, what is that? What is? What is, what is? What is, what is, what is, what is that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What that? What is, what is, what is that? What is that? What is that? What, what is that? What, what is that? What, what is that? What, what is that? What, what is that? What, what, probably just telling your job that you're doing that.
Well, I don't know if that would have tickled his fancy quite the same way.
But he, so he, he like looked into it and he was like, man, I pay outrageous rent here in, um,
here in Sydney, in the city.
When it costs so much less to rent in other places, uh, what if I were to rent to rent to rent to rent to rent to rent to rent 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 their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that their their their their their their their their their their their the a the the the the the the thto rent in other places, what if I were to rent
an apartment for three months in Bangkok and just fly over there one day and just keep logging
into work and saying that I'm logging in?
Because like my understanding is that his work wants him to be in the office for a day or
two a week and he's been saying, no, I have a medical issue and I said what's the a week, and he's been saying, no, yeah? It's been saying, no, I have a medical issue
and I said, what's the medical issue?
And he went, it's something that doesn't allow me
to go up high in a building.
You, for real?
For real? It was like, I'm trying to get a doctor to say that I got an ear thing and I can't go up
too high in an elevator.
Oh my god.
This is great.
I love this.
So he's already been doing that and then he was like, so I'm locked into working at home,
right?
And so he just rented an apartment in Bangkok for three months and just went over there. And they just got on Microsoft teams theamed team team tom 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toe up to to to go up up to to to to go up up 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the their their their the their the the the the tooe.e. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the just went over there and they just
got on Microsoft Teams and went good morning and someone his work said hey it
says here that someone's trying to log in to a system from Thailand.
Oh no! And he said that's weird and then he never heard anything about it again.
So he's, that's weird and then he never heard anything about it again. So he's, that's fine.
I'm using a VPN that routes through Thailand for privacy reasons.
So, so he said, he read a book called like the four-hour work week or something.
Mm-hmm. Which is about like sitting down and figuring out
you know what what you are actually required to do in your role and figuring
out how you can dense it down and all that sort of thing and he said yeah
I figured out I've got about two hours of work a week that I need to do in order
to just pass off that I'm doing my job. So he said uh uh, so he said, uh, Sunday through Thursday at
830 p.m., he would get onto his computer and set a message to his team that said, good morning.
And then just go do whatever the fuck he liked. And it was like, yeah, it was the, it was the little things that were making the most trouble, like,
like sirens sound different there.
So it'd be like in a meeting and like a Thai ambulance would go past outside and people
like, what was that?
And he'd be like, oh, ice cream truck.
Some kind of building alarm going off next door. So yeah and I
knew it was just like yeah it just it just sort of kept working I kept
expecting something to happen and it didn't and it was like every time I was
like oh it's really hot here I'm kind of sick of the food I'd be like you know what this was your own doing. God damn. So he was doing all of this as a test run for going and doing it in like South America.
Just wants to do the same thing. Yeah. Right. And so nothing bad came of this at all.
Nope. Is he... I mean, obviously you can't reveal too many specifics I guess, but what sort of work
does he do?
Government job.
Of course.
Yeah, on our taxpayer dime?
You're goddame right.
Amazing.
I would recommend everyone read the book, bullshit jobs by David Graber.
Well, this is the thing. I think that part of, part of what sort of what of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the the thia the thea the. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the thea. thea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thea. Well, this is the thing. I think that part of what sort of brought this up was that he, yeah, he was like reading
some books about it and thinking about its own work.
And of course, as we all know with the pandemic and office jobs and everything, it's really,
I think it's revealed to a lot of people how much of their own jobs and other people's jobs are just a waste of time.
I just present-eism.
It's just so absurd that we have this like divide again and I think I might be the first
person to notice to this but like I just imagine you're a let's say you're a full-time bartender
and you're like... I can't imagine that it makes me too tired. Let me sit down and
figure out how much work I do with my 38-hour work week. And it's 38 hours.
Yeah, like it's just this, like the fucking, the divine here is so crazy.
Office jobs are absolute bullshit. Like, and they haven't changed.
Like I'm back at my job and that it's an absolute presentee is in place. I've convinced them to let me th th th th that th th th th that th th that th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho their tho' tho' tho' th. I th. I th. I th. I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm their their their their their their their their their their their their th. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm the. I'm the. the. toe. toe. toeeeate. I'm toeatea. I'm tho'eo'eateateate. I'm thoo' tho' the. I'm the an absolute present years in place. I've convinced them to let me work from home one day a week.
And on that day, I do possibly an hour's work,
because that's how much work I have to do.
Well, I don't know, it makes me think about like,
there's been, so the school that our kids go to,
the school thatthe kids home to do like a week of
school from home and because they're in primary school that means it's not
really school. They're not doing much yeah. They send them home with a little like
stapled booklet of photocopied exercises and say hey why not get them to do
that by the way no one will be looking at that thing when they're finished with it. Yeah talk about bullshit jobs teachers we're paying them them them them them their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho-in tho-I tho-I's tho-I's tho-I's tho-up. tho-soo' tho' thi thi. tho' tho-upo-upon thozy. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thi. thi. they're tho' tho' to to to to to tho' toe.

Teachers, we're paying them too much.
Well, and this is the thing.
Special Buntavista position on teachers.
So, so obviously they're having a lot of trouble.
They're really short-staffed. It's harder than ever to get like substitute. their thoult th. It And they've been really struggling, and it has affected this specific school
more than any other school in Canber.
And the other night, wife of the show,
my wife, Elna, is looking at the Facebook page
for like the PNC group for our school.
And they're like, we're putting together a list of questions from concerned parents
that we're going to send to like the education directorate or whatever.
And she's rattling off these questions as me and her are both like, hand to the forehead,
bewildered by these fucking people writing this stuff.
There's people writing stuff about like saying, oh, you know, when you, when you do this stuff. There's people writing stuff about like saying, oh, you know,
when you do this stuff at no notice, it affects people like us who we have
real jobs where if you don't work, you don't get paid and we don't have cushy
government jobs like these teachers, and I keep thinking about how like we
get now they have like these
classroom apps and stuff where they'll post you little updates of what your kids doing
at school through the day that take pictures of them doing an exercise.
We get that shit at like 10 o'clock at night.
That's so bad. That's a terrible sign. We get these things that come through and it's a picture of your kid holding up like a thin, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, like, thi. Like, like come through and it's a picture of your kid holding up like a thing that they've they've done at
school that day or like and they're like oh this was the exercise we were
doing and this is the thing that they're being taught or that they're learning about while we do it. And we get that shit at like 9 10 p.m. to thn 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. 10. 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. they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're. they're theeee. they're they're they're they're thee. they're they're they're they're they're they're. You shouldn't have to do that.
Whose requirement are those things like Story Park and all that? I wonder if it's
something that got normalized by like child care.
Oh sure. Because I do it at child care. Yeah they sort of they keep doing proof of life
throughout the day you know. Yeah we're not killing your kids. Yeah. Whereas like at school I'm just like cool I'm just like, I you. I th I th I to to to to to to to to to have I to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have have to have have to have have have have have have have have have have have to have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I have that I that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's th. th. I to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it thi thi thi thi thi of life throughout the day, you know. Yeah, we're not killing your kids.
Whereas at school, I'm just like, cool, I trust you, that's why I sent him down there, you know.
I don't even know about it.
And the Yasser kids, how is school?
And they say it was good.
Yeah, but like people, the school sending kids home due to too many teachers and support staff and stuff having COVID and shit like that or having family members who have COVID or whatever has driven
people insane. There's all these comments on the Facebook page that are like,
I drove past and there were lots of cars in the car park. That must mean that
there's lots of teachers in there but they don't have the students there. They must just be having a party living enough in there. And like like that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th.

I'm in a party. Living it up in there.
And like, you can still send your kids to school if you don't have any alternative, right?
If you are like, if you're an essential services person or if it's like, I, you know, if I say I can't go in and work because my kid is at home, I will lose my job. They're like, cool. Bring them down and leave them with us, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, and we. And, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we, and we', and we'll, and we'll, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I', I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I', I', I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.

And we'll look after the kids where you just got no other option or whatever.
And people are posting this shit where it's like, oh, my kid was at school
and they accidentally went down to their unit where their class normally is,
and their teachers were in there anyway doing stuff. It looks like they're using all all thi thi thiiiiiiiiiiiiii th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thi thachers were in there anyway doing stuff it looks like they're using all of this as an excuse to have a second planning day like
oh shit has this real too good for too long no I'm gonna take him down it all
it all has this air of like of like you know I looked in the closet and saw
the principal and then the baby looked at me you know um but I just it absolutely blows my mind particularly the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the thi. I the the the thi. I thi. I thi. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the thus. I thus. I thus. thus. teeeeeeeeeeeean teeean. teeeeeean. teeeeeeeeee. their thus. the. th at me, you know. But I just, it absolutely blows my mind, particularly with what we know about lots of people's
jobs and how you can do them from overseas pretending to be at work.
That those are like the industries that people go, hey, you're pulling off some kind of
scam.
It's time teachers were taken a task.
So weird.
Don't know how anybody can have any involvement with any teacher on any level and think,
Man, what a lazy fuck.
Yeah, I'm being rauded by this person who's working a 70-hour week.
It's insane. It's no good.
But every now and then, a scam works out, it's insane. It's no good. But every now and then, a scam works out the good way.
Yeah, this is a story from Fortune magazine.
Chilean man who was accidentally paid 330 times his salary resigns, then vanishes.
Pro-move.
I am saluting the Chilean flag and this man.
An unnamed worker at Consorcio
Industrial de Alimentos, which makes cold cuts, normally received a paycheck
of roughly 500,000 Chilean pesos, the equivalent of 794 Australian dollars. In
the most recent pay period on May 30th, a screw-up in the company's HR department
resulted in him getting a check for 165,398,851
Chilean pesos, which is the equivalent of 262,000 Australian dollars.
Reports Diario financier, financiero?
No idea what that means, a Santiago-based newspaper. He took the matter to a manager to report the overpayment, which is when the thirty-a-tripe, thirty-a-tfay, which-tha-tha-tha-tha-tha-tha-tha, which th, which th, which th, which thirty-a, which thirty-a, which thirty-a, which, which thirty-a, which, which, which, which, which thirty-a, which th, which th, th, th, th, thirty-a, 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, idea what that means, a Santiago-based newspaper.
He took the matter to a manager to report the overpayment, which is when the HR error
was discovered.
The company then told him to go to his bank to initiate the return of the money.
He promised to go there the next day, and that's exactly what he did.
What he didn't do, howeverout messages, the company got a message from a lawyer representing the worker, offering his resignation.
That's so good. He's just gone straight and hired a lawyer.
Fucking awesome.
This guy rules.
And like he's done it all, like, it's a bit above board so far.
He's gone and reported it, and then he's been like, oh for sure. All right. I'll see tomorrow. Laughing, le, and th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. the the the the th. the the the the th. th. th. 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. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's th. He's I'll see tomorrow. Yeah. Laughing, literally laughing all the way to the bank.
And then laughing all the way to the lawyer's office and then laughing in his home,
looking at his $270,000 that he just got. That's so good. The company has filed a complaint
charging the worker with misappropriation of funds in hopes of recovering someone lost money,
but so far there have been no arrests. Well, he didn't do it.
He didn't do shit.
I feel like that's a YPAY, like legally.
Which it's not.
And there have been several court cases in, I mean, even Australia, that like accidental
overpayment constitutes not like theft, but like you do have to return it.
But it shouldn't. You shouldn't. I was a possession that you accidentally get paid too much one day.
I was always told when I was a 19-year-old working at Woolworse that if they accidentally
overpaid you, there was no way they could make you pay the money back.
And I've chosen to take that to heart.
I believe that's true.
That would be a better world. money's yours. It's your fault, it's in my bank account. Yeah, what do you want me to do? Log it under my internet banking? Get your BSB in account number?
Actually, I'm a small bean and I'm anxious about telephone calls. So...
I shan't be doing that. I just... That's his $262,000. Do not take this man's money.
I hope this lawyer takes consortio industrial di Alimentos to task.
I hope so too.
The bold lawyer.
Yeah, I hope they make a movie out of this case.
Aaron Brokovich, but for a guy who gets to keep some money to be cut.
Aaron Brokovich except there's no corruption and it's more about deli meat than the environment.
It's funny that it's a jelly meat company as well. I don't know why that's so great.
What if they just made a movie about it but the lawyer was cast as a sexy lady.
Now we're talking and that the lawyer might be a sexy lady. We have no idea who that lawyer is at this point.
That's true. Maybe she'll play herself, you know.
So this rating it on our scam rubric, craftiness is ingenious because you just wait to get overpaid 330 times your usual salary. So that's a 10 for me. More of they, yeah, like, like letting the coiled Viper, letting the prey come to them.
Yes, 100%.
I mean, he didn't really have to put anything on the line.
Actually, no, the ballsiness of getting the lawyer to contact them to say that you have reside.
Yeah, and just not responding to their calls. Yeah, that's a power move move. Like, like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that you have reside yeah and just not responding to their calls
yeah that's a powerhouse move that's a nine.
I like... I think...
I'm gonna ramp up the ballsiness
measure on this because
he started off by saying, hey is this yours?
And they went, yeah it is, can we have it back?
And he went, oh for sure. That he disappeared backwards into the jungle, putting
camopane on his face. He fucking just went full apocalypse now on them. Head right down
there to the bank. I'm on my way there right now. I expect that money shortly. So that's a 10 I reckon for balliness and then victiminess.
Zero. I'm supposed to care about the feelings or profits of consortio industrial di Alimentos?
They're gonna be fine. They are gonna be just fine. Hey, they didn't even notice it was missing.
Now, oh, that's the thing.they didn't even notice it was missing. Now, oh, that's right.
They didn't even notice it was gone.
It's right.
Is there a ghost in your room, Andrew?
Oh, never one.
Hello.
Hey, cus, cus, cus.
That was creepy shit.
Paranormal activity situation here.
Yeah, I thought it was going to be Evie or Maeve actually. I was surprised.
Yeah. It's just it's just cuz opening the door and they're going,
eh, no one's looking at me.
We could have had a real viral BBC presenter moment there, except it's just audio.
We're not recording the video. No, and they probably wouldn't be doing a silly little dance.
Or maybe. Should we, should we run it back and also scam rate my friend's scam or as he kept
referring to it, my caper. I love that. That's actually very, that's positively changed my.
It is more of a caper. Oh look and I'll say like we related this story to my parents and my father was very
unimpressed. Yeah, that's the sort of thing that and my father was very unimpressed.
Yeah, that's the sort of thing that a dad would frown at.
Yeah, hmm.
And, but yeah, like from the perspective of the man who was doing this,
there were absolutely, there was no like illusion of, I'm finding justice for myself or anything.
He was just like, I want to see what happens.
I want to see what I get away with this.
And I will also say that he has a history of just doing things to see, just pushing the envelope
and seeing, I wonder if I can just get away with doing this, you know.
And in this particular case I would say uh...
balziness
I think it's right up there
yeah, 100%
100% because
every likelihood that you can get found out
if somebody says
no for real you absolutely have to come into the office for this meeting next week
yeah and yeah hey we'll come to you we'll have the meeting in the lobby you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, oh! Oh, it it it it it it it it 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 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 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 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 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 it's it's it's it's it's th. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th th th. Oh, it's th th. It's th th th. It's right th. It's right th. It's right. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. into the office for this meeting next week. Yeah. Hey, we'll come to you.
We'll have the meeting in the lobby.
You know?
Yeah.
Oh, can't make it.
Having super diarrhea that day.
Yeah, I mean this really was like flying by the seat of his pads here.
It's good to guard a rye at any moment.
So it's high bullsiness for sure. I think I think the the ballsiness on this one for me comes with the complete acceptance that he he could have just lost his job and livelihood at
any given moment of this of this scenario. Very very out there without a safety
net kind of performance I think. Also, I guess in terms of like originality, inventiveness.
Very inventive.
White guys with high paying white collar jobs going to countries where the cost of living is way lower and then just running into their jobs.
That part, not hugely creative. The massive thing at the moment is like...
Because lots of people do that.
Yeah, it's like... There's an article about it the other day about just like moving to Bali. Yeah, because it's cheap to live they they they they they they they they they they they to they they they to they to they they they they they're invent they're invent they're invent they're invent they're invent they're invent their their in their in th.. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. like... Because lots of people do that. Yeah, it's like... There's an article about it the other day about just like
moving to Bali. Yeah, because it's cheap to live there. Software architects in Google.
I've made... Googled software guys getting beat up in Mexico City because the
locals fucking hate them, shit like that. Awesome. But the... the the lastly, who is the victim? No one. No one. As we all know, governments produce free
victims are us. Well again, maybe the Thai people from the gentrification that's happening there
and put him out of housing like, yeah, but he left, you know. Yes, all right, so problem solved.
I'm there for a little bit he he showed up injected some money into the economy
and went home the economy loves injections of money so much well that's
I think that's the other pro that this one has going for it is the
taking money directly from the Australian people and handing it straight over
the Thailand oh that is true. That is Praxis. So I think it's pretty good on all those levels.
Yeah. You're right. Coming around on it.
Also, it's just stop making us go into the office?
Why do we have to go to the office all the time?
Yeah. Well, I'll get rid of the office jobs and then give people meaningful work. Whichever one is easier for companies to do. That's true. Figure that one out. Don't make me send emails all day. Office jobs, they're not
natural. Nature is. It's time for Nature Quarter. To the plains I belong, Bultonism, nation corner, rubber crab sniffed my d'i'it.
This is a story from the Associated Press.
Poisonous Bite leads German police to farm with 110 snakes. This is a story from the Associated Press.
Poisonous Bite leads German police to farm with 110 snakes.
It's a lot of snakes.
I'm kind of picturing like, you know, you know the sort of pen that a farmer would stand
next to, maybe cock his hat back a little with his thumb, you know, one foot up on one of the horizontal
fence palings between the posts, looking down proudly at his 110 snakes wriggling around.
Just slither around in a big pit.
Somehow keeping themselves in the pen, respectfully.
Well, they just know what the rules are. The fence is more symbolic than it is functional.
Yeah, they get it. Yep. Police in Germany said Sunday they discovered more than a hundred-10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 then then then then then then then then is more symbolic than it is functional. Yeah, they get it. Yeah.
Police in Germany said Sunday they discovered more than 110 dangerous snakes on a farm after
a woman who lived there sought medical treatment for a poisonous bite.
The 35-year-old woman drove to a hospital in Saltzgitter near Hanover early Sunday
and told doctors that that one of her rattlesnakes bit her finger.
One of her rattlesnakes.
One of.
Yeah.
While the woman's condition deteriorated,
authorities hastily ordered an antidote from a specialist institute in Humberg,
police visited the farm in Central Germany and found dozens of snakes.
In a statement, police said specialists determined the snake collection
included both constrictors and poisonous varieties,
which weren't housed in appropriate toariums. The reptiles were all impounded.
So, like, they're all just wriggling around that big pen. What are they doing with all these snakes?
What are they doing with all these snakes? They're not going to like, they're not going to like, they're not going to like, oh you mean like, what was this woman doing? their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, like, like, like, like, just kind of get like, they get crazy with it.
You know, there was that guy in the US who died like a month or so ago, a couple
of months maybe. I can't remember if we did it on the podcast or not, but he
died of a poisonous snake bite in a house full of illegal poisonous snakes and the
police were like, we think we might know what happened. Oh fuck, actually speaking of so, sorry, this is a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoom. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, to, to. And, to.

Oh, fuck, actually speaking of, sorry, this is a terrible sidebar, but there was a story
I was going to put in the podcast today because on first reading it, it seemed kind of funny.
It was a news story from Italy of a guy somewhere in northern Italy who is a former mayor and a
former journalist who died from like two punctual wounds to the neck, like the throat, and they
they were calling it an accidental death?
Where I was like, all right, so this guy got stabbed by a mafia guy and then, you know, obviously
they're just covering it up. Sounds like he accidentally ran into a Dracula. Yeah, well, yeah.
Amorbious. He got morbid morbid and then I read a second
story about it and the story apparently is that he tripped onto his French
windows and managed to impale himself through the neck. So not like a...
More like a final destination style death. Yeah, not so much that the black hand came and got
him and then
paid the police to lie about it. That's my biggest fear that I'll die in a
silly way like that. I think it's nice as long as you give your loved ones a
little reason to giggle with your passing you know. Cut in half by the
world's worst atomic wedgie you know. Perfectly bisected. These, I don't know what do these with snake people.
Like I get wanting to have a snake as a pet.
I like snakes.
I've had pet snakes when I was younger.
That's kind of cool to just have a snake.
Right, like just like a little guy to hang out with and they like your body heat,
so they're kind of cuddly, that's kind of nice. But in the same way that I like I I I I I I I I I like I like I like I like I like I like I like I like I like I like I like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like thi like thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. thi. thi. 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. th. th. 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 to to to to to to to thea to theat the same way that I like having a dog, I don't want 110. Hmm, or a poison, some poisonous ones. I don't want a poisonous dog or a constrictor dog.
I don't want either of those. I don't want a dog that could crush my neck. Yeah. No.
It does seem to particularly be non-conventional pets that make people start like hoarding them,
you know. Yeah. Let's find a house and they like, this man had dozens of illegal capybarras, just like
capybarra terrariums in every room.
Weren't even properly contained.
I'm also liking the phrase that the snakes were impounded.
Yeah, like their cars?
Like a car.
Like, send them to do? They're going to auction these off? Are they going to pay a fee,
ma'am, you're going to pay a fee before you can come pick up your snakes? One of those little wheel
locks on your snake. They've got to slither away. They're just going to drive them out somewhere in a flatbed truck and just dump them into a gulch, you know? Yeah. There's no. They're they. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah., fuck you, St. Patrick, they're back,
bitch.
I hate it when my reptile was impounded.
It's so funny.
I guess, were they try and rehome them?
Will they try and find people who want...
Are you meant to keep a rattlesnake?
I don't... I was going to say, surely it depends on whether or not it is even a kind of snake that you're
allowed to have, because I'm pretty sure that I'm skeptical.
Yeah, would not be allowed to have a rattlesnake.
Both due to the government and my wife.
Yeah, that's fair.
We saw some rattlesnakes recently at the bloody Taronga Zoo.
You heard great things.
And I was like, look at that little that little that little the little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little the little tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that little ss that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th.....

the little baby hippo there? Oh, it's like a dwarf hippo or a pygmy hippo or whatever. But it's also very young, right? Oh, it's also very young, right? Oh, it's it's a tor the Turan. the Turan. the Turon. the Turon. the the the the th. th. th. the the th. th. th. th. th. thian thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thian's also very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very young tho-a, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi-n't is is also thi-n' thi-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-niooo Zoo was when I was thinking of, I think.
Oh, that wasn't me.
Disapporting.
No.
I think we maybe have time for one more nature corner.
Fucking.
One more nature corner story here.
This is also from the Associated Press.
Bear with me, because it's funny-ish, but it's really the end here that's the that's the kicker. New York man and woman faced $500 fines after bringing raccoon to store.
A New York man and woman faced fines of $500 each after they took a raccoon to a pet
store to shop for food and a store worker ratted them out, authority said.
Dog, rat.
Dog act.
You knock, motherfucker. A state Department of Environmental Conservation police officer, weird, got an urgent
call from the Erie County Department of Health about a potentially rabid raccoon on June 2nd
the DEC said in news release. The health department said a couple had brought a raccoon to a pet
store for food and supplies and a store employee contacted authorities. Racoons are considered dangerous
wild animals because they are known to carry and transmit the deadly rabies virus.
But they're so cute. They're so cute. They washed their hands like people.
The DEC officer used store surveillance video, a store issued rewards card
and license plate information to locate the couple in the town of Atica in western New York, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the department, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thia, thia, thiaughtia, thiaunicic thia, thia, thia, toa, to to toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, to to to toa, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thia, the the thia, thia, thia, thia.a.a.a.a.a.auauauauncunaunaqaunaunaunaqaunauna, tha, thir thia, thia, thito locate the couple in the town of Attica in western New York, the department said.
The owners turned the raccoon over and were each charged with unlawfully possessing
a wild animal which is subject to $500 fine, the authority said.
The raccoon that was confiscated from the couple was tested for rabies, a test that could only
be performed on an animal after it has died. Oh, come come th th th th th th the th th the th th th the th th th th the th th th tho, come tho, come tho, come tho, come tho, tho, tho, tho, to to to to to to to too, tho, too, too, rabies, a test that could only be performed on an animal after it has died. Oh, come on now. The test was negative, the DEC said. Oh,
so they just killed this raccoon. Well, now that I'm saying out, what is that thing I
was saying the other week about not having a sad story is the last one.
Why did they need to kill it? There's raccoons in the wild.
You don't kill them?
You have to have to kill all those.
They, you know, can't let that rabies spread.
Oh, it didn't have rabies?
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry, you'll always a grand. Oh, getting the bill for your own raccoons obliteration. That's good. We put your raccoon in an incinerator.
We actually look at the color of the smoke to determine whether or not it had rabies.
That's so grim.
But also, and this is based on nothing whatsoever.
I have no evidence to back this up.
There's not even a hint or a suggestion that this is the case,
but I fucking bet you these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these people had a Tick-Tock for their quirky raccoon pet. Yeah, they would have had an Instagram page for sure.
Yeah.
And it's called like a name of a character from a Disney movie or something.
Sebastian, like the fish.
What's the name of the raccoon in Pocahontas?
Yeah. I don't know why its name is.
I don't know if it has a name. Miko. They have called it their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. It, th. It, th.

Instagram account called It's Miko and their final post was on Dune 2nd.
Yep. And it's just a black photo, no image and the caption reads, you were our everything.
We had to say goodbye to our beloved Miko because we took him to the grocery store for some reason. You probably shouldn't have done that. You didn't need to take him the the the their to to to their to their to to their to their to their their to to their to to their their to to their their him to the grocery store for some reason. You probably shouldn't have done that. Like that one's on you.
You didn't need to take him to the pet store.
The jealous New York Department of Environmental Conservation
couldn't stand our success or our hustle.
Who's haters?
They hate someone that's on that grind.
I do.
And they love to kill your raccoon to get revenge. RIP. Look, if you have to own a raccoon,
and this is a thing you feel you really need,
stay off-grid.
Don't go into a fucking, you know, a pet store.
Don't use your rewards card that has your name and address on it
while you're buying pet food for your illegal pet.
Just go dark on this one.
And that's our advice for this week. If you have an
legal pet in your home, go dark with it. Yep. Stay off grid. But send us a picture because I'd
like to have a look at him. Oh my no, someone in the Discord has a raccoon or was looking
after a raccoon? Oh my goodness, I didn't see that. No, it was a skunk. Oh, that's right. That's even crazy. Sorry, I forgot about the skunk.
Yeah, no, yeah.
Which is probably for good reasons.
I don't think they're a Tick-Tock animal owner criminal.
I don't think.
Okay.
As far as I know.
Great.
Yeah.
