Boonta Vista - EPISODE 321: A Crab Bribe Rashomon

Episode Date: November 12, 2023

Lucy, Theo, Andrew, and Ben bring you: Our first ever visit to r/retcon, a fungible Canadian crab crime, one lion's journey to the heart of Italy, and a viral Dutch food sensation that is not for eating.

Welcome to Bluntavista, episode 321. Here we are on the beautiful island of Mikonos. My friend Andrew has inherited a beach on this resort island from an uncle he's never met. So we got on the plane from Melbourne's Yarraville and came right over. However, we are out of our element here amongst the local Greeks, with Andrew's boorish behavior upsetting these provincial peasants. Andrew, what's it like being Nick Geonopolis? It's fine. I don't think it would be really wise with me to do the voice at this point.

Yeah, none of us have any reason to do the voice here. I've got several reasons to not do the voice, I guess. And one of the other great ironies is that I don't really love the beach. Oh, why did you come? Oh, you're not enjoying yourself here here in Mekin'os? I mean, I thought I'd get over here, it would be a lot of beautiful Greek, Aphrodite-type ladies. Oh, and they are. I thought they'd be toges?

Are they? Are they? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Oh, that's it. Oh, that, turn it around. I think there's going to be an arc to my story. Oh, that there might be.

Also with me, it's a kind of Don Juan figure, a chiseled Lothario, surrounded by beautiful women at all times. It's known as the king of Mikonos, he's kind of the pussy emperor around here. It's Theo. Hey Theo, are you enjoying yourself on Mikonos? I'm always enjoying myself on Mikonos and Mikhanos is enjoying itself on me. This is the kindest that anyone has ever been to be in an intro. It is actually. Usually I'm a tiy little bug guy, that's like... Kind of did a little reverse, you know. Which, yeah. But making it a reverse it a th, are, th, are, th, are, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are thee, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, the, the, the, the, the, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, the. thee, the. thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, that's like... Kind of did a little reverse, you know.

Which, but making it a reverse does in fact make it mean because it's obvious. Reverse off. Yeah. I don't know. I mean I think I can slip into this character pretty, pretty well. Hey, Greek ladies. Don't worry, he's not Greek. He's played by Kevin Sorbo. Oh.

Hey, hey Greek ladies, are you vaccinated? No, thank you. You watch a lot of TV in the 1990s? Also with me, it's Ben. Who's a sex pest? He's upset by Theo's position. Oh, ha ha ha ha ha. Ben wants to beat Theo's Mekonos record of sleeping with 43 women in a month.

This film was made in 2010. Ben, would you consider yourself emblematic of the Greek community? The Greek Australian community. Yeah, that's right, because they've got their own sort of unique identity and customs and traditions, all of which this is a part of, yeah, it's sort of being like a sex rat, a broad and domestically. Yeah, a disgusting sex pest. Yeah. Going to Mikonos for a party. So you watched Wog-Boy 2. So I watched the Wog-Boys 2.

The Wog-Boys 2, and you guys want to meet a rattle intro. I'm imagining any say not Australian listeners hearing that you're watching a film called The Wog Boy 2. Implying, of course, that there's more than one of them, and they're more the more more of the the the the the the 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 the Wog Boy 2, implying, of course, that there's more than one of them and there were more of them afterwards. There was, I only learned there was one in 2022. Yep. Which I haven't seen, but I'm going to assume like goes woke. It has to go work, right? Isn't Nick Gionopolis like a big anti-woke guy? He would be, right? Because you can't say all that stuff on TV anymore. Yeah, it's they their, it, it's, it's, it's, you their, you their, you isn't Nick Giannophilus like a big anti-woke guy? He would be right. Because you can't say all that stuff on TV anymore. Yeah, you can't just be a sex best. You can't use the phrase UN of Pussy in a movie anymore. Oh, that's, sorry, I meant to ask that earlier.

Was Emperor of Pussy at invention of yoursussy was a real line in the film. What does that refer to? I don't know. I'm guessing having sex with women from a lot of different countries. Oh right, not like, you know, like 196 different. Yeah, having to take a vote. Yeah, that'd be pretty weird. NATO peacekeepers get involved. Yeah, the bloody UN would be not having sex with people from all those different countries. Because they don't do anything. Is that the criticism?

Yeah. Yeah. Let's get political again. All right, so here's our thoughts on globalism. One time, Lucy, I was down in St. Kilda with a... Are we going to get a Greek Australian story? With a trash bag friend of mine and we were wandering around looking for something to do, apart from pulling cones in his apartment.

I saw a very her suit man that I initially thought to be just quite tared, but... Well, we, so we, we happen up on this doorway to some kind of club from upstairs. Oh, a portal. There's some power, yeah. A distinct portal, there's some lights, there's some power, yeah, to an experience. A distinct portal, there's some lights, there's some music happening, you know. Hey, bro, do you wanna get liminal for a moment? And there's a guy on the door and we go up and go, hello, and he says,

are you here for this private party? And we said, yes we are, we're definitely on the list for the private party. And we got ourselves into this private party and we were like, we've done it, something fucking crazy is about to happen here tonight. You know? Our life is a movie for real right now. I just bluffed my way into a private party. And we go upstairs to what is immediately,

apparently, a almost completely empty nightclub. I'm gonna say between five and 10 people standing around holding the walls. No, that's not. You have significantly diluted the numbers. Should have recognized, you know when the music coming down the stairs is kind of echoy because there's no people in there to dampen the numbers. Should have recognized, you know when the music coming down the stairs is kind of too echoy because there's no people in there to like dampen that sound? And we get up there and the thing that really sticks in my mind is that this party apparently had a particular function or genesis because the really loud music that's going, tk-dick-dint-dick-d-dink-d-d-d-d-d-t-t-t-t-t-a-lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllloullou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-nn'rrrrc'lou-shh Ilou-sh Ilou-sh Ilou-sh Ilou-sh Ilson, the-s, the-n, the-n, the-n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to-n't-n'e-n'e-n'e-n'e-n't-n'e-n'e-n'e- tk-dank, tk-dank, tk-dank, tk-dank, tk-dank, and then the guy, the DJ would stop

every now and then to hit the same sample over and over again which was, Mikonos! Dikinonos tour party vibe situation. Putting on Zorbers dance, things of that nature. Smashing plates everywhere, that's not safe? That's not safe, that's wasteful. So I reckon we last about five minutes before we went. Yeah, like, for a second there, you think, well, it's pretty early. Yeah. Maybe this is gonna turn into a thing. Maybe more people show up. Well, maybe the afridi honeyes are coming. No one of these people know us and also they all

know each other so they know that they don't know us. Yeah, they straight up know that they don't know me. Yeah, it's immediately time to turn around around to to to turn around to to turn around to turn to to turn to to turn to turn to turn to turn to to turn to turn to turn to turn to turn to turn to turn to their me to turn their me their me their me to to their me me me me me me me to their me me me their me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me their their their their their their their their their their their to turn to turn to turn to turn to turn to turn around me. 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 to turn around. Walk out, tell the bouncer that your mate shit himself. Like he needs a compelling reason for you to leave. Yeah, sorry. You guys weren't sneaking into that party and then thinking better off it. Some bad sovlarky. He's, oh look at him. I feel like most of the time you can really heavily rely on like how much for social faux priority is it is to not remember someone so that if someone corners you be like, what the fuck dude? You remember we were on that contiki tour together? Yeah.

We had like a great time. They'd be like, oh absolutely. But if everyone is of roughly the same ethnic profile and you're not slightly harder. Remember we went to Greek school together? Now to say one word in Greek. Say Malacca. You remember how silly those letters looked? What the fuck's up with that? If it isn't my old Malacca. If it isn't my old friend Socrates. Saying all the Greek names you know. Hey, if you were at a Meknos themed rave with five to ten people and two rowdy white boys rocked up,

they insisted that they knew you but you didn't know them at all. You might think that perhaps your universe had been retconned. It's time to check in on R slash retcon watch. Are we are we gonna contextualize this segment Ben? Do you think Oh, didn't we already? Or has that been retconned? Yeah, yeah. No, we should- Everybody used to know what this segment was, but now. So this is, um, it's sort of a... So we're reconing it?

Is that a thing? Or is it like how de-evolution isn't really a thing, it's just a continuation of evolution. I wonder if you can only retcon, you know. That's so true. Oh. Yeah. So this is sort of a, we have done this before. Oh, have we?

It's a spin-off of the Mandela effect. Yeah. Mandala effect, subreddit, where people are convinced that something in the past, they remember it one way, but the past has been changed so that it's a different way now. Of course it's called the Mandala effect because it sort of spreads out through time like a Mandala. And we all know that there is no force in this universe more infallible than the human memory. That's right.

And so if something appears different to a way that you remembered it, let's say, I don't know, 15 to 25 years ago, maybe when you were a child and essentially a completely different person, much less understanding of the world, much less knowledge, context, information, and then you notice it again when you say 38. And now we have so much information, just being hammered into our brains all the time. And you think, huh, that's not how I remember that. There must be a bigger explanation for this. Yeah. What he said, but unironically.

Yeah. Andrew's being very unkind about this. Like there's some sort of oaths that have just misremembered the past. I think as you're about to hear these people are some very highly trade experts doing very important research into the continuity of timelines. Here we go, this one's from user Glazel. OG. Dogs playing poker. So they've posted a photo of the original dogs playing poker painting. The one we all remember. The one we all remember. And then the caption is, is this the version

everyone remembers? It's the other post. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I'm pretty sure that a lot of different paintings of dogs playing pokers have been produced since the original one appeared. I think this might be one of the most rift-on paintings of all time or roughed. Is it too early in the episode for the Blunt of the Week Stinger? I've actually had to delete it off that. Oh I'm looking at it right now. Yeah you had to delete it. There it is. Yeah I think there is so many variations of this the th th th th th th th the th th th th the the th the th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the original. I the the original. I the the original. I the the original. I the the original. I the the the the original the, oh I'm looking at it right now. Yeah, you had to delete it. Oh, there it is. Yeah, I think there is so many variations on this that like, holding it consistent. You've just seen a different one.

Actually, let's, you guys, I'm gonna pull the picture up. Don't you guys look at it. Okay. Oh, you're gonna get, the original one. Oh, I think we're about to... Look, I think... Did you just get Rekkoned Finn? Yeah. No, I just learned something, which is unusual, which is why I made a noise.

Yeah, Mulaka means, man who masturbates. Yeah. I literally just re-listened to an episode of our own podcast, Re-Cyco I Know, where we learned that fact for the first time yesterday. As in, I listened to it yesterday. We learned that fact together about the, what is it, the quora answer for what Malacca means? Is, uh, you masturbate so much that your brain has turned into much. We learned that in episode 201.

I don't think that's true. It's not how I remember. Also, that is a tremendous episode where Lucy, you brought a very wonderful feminist story of Australia's first female commercial pilot that was meant to be the first segment of the show, but we had about, I'm going to say, it could be any three men talking over the top of you for the first half hour before you can get to it. Not a great episode with the benefit of hindsight. Ah! Very upsetting.

Yikes. So, two years ago. We're different people now. It were completely changed. I think the issue we're going to find here Ben is that you are essentially asking three different people to imagine a semicircle of of four to five dogs. Okay. Yeah. Let's start with that. How many dogs do you guys think are in the picture? I'm gonna say. Four or five? Well if it's... Let's start with that. How many dogs do you guys think are in the picture? I'm gonna say... Four or five?

Well, if it's... Five? There's no... Five? I feel like I'm thinking of the Simpsons representation. Sure, that'd be accurate. Probably. I, before we get into this, though, I want to point out, the thing that made me go, oh, is that dogs playing poker by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge

refers collectively to one 1894 painting, 161903 paintings and one 1910 painting. Uh-huh. All by the same guy? Yes, all by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. So there's different versions of this painting. All 18 paintings in the overall series feature anthropomorphized dogs, but the 11 in which dogs are seated around a card table have become known in the United States as examples of kitsch art in home decoration. Interesting. Oh, there's loads of different ones. So you're saying that we're basically not going to be able to answer this question correctly?

Yeah, I mean, the original original is just, it's four dogs that to me look like they might be... What sort of dog is Beethoven is, the the the the tho the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho tho-a tho-a thi thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi their thi their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. theeat theat theat theat theat theat thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea the's four dogs that to me look like they might be What sort of dog is Beethoven from the movie Beethoven? Is he St. Bernard? Bernard? Yeah, it looks like four St. Bernard's to me. Yeah, that is not what I pictured the original one to be like. I imagine the original one to be like. I imagine the original one to be the painting dogs playing poker. Hang on. I think I was a, if you're looking at Wikipedia, the third one down, a friend and need from 1903. I think that's the one I picture most commonly as well. Which is a bunch of dogs of different breeds. Yeah. Yeah.

But, I, with the, that one, tricky dog holding an ace in his toe. Yeah, that's fucked up. He's smoking a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar a cigar cigar cigar cigar cigar a cigar cigar cigar cigar cigar cigar cigar a cigar cigar cigar cigar the cigar cigar the cigar cigar that's a cigar that's a cigar that's a cigar that's a cigar. And e. Yeah. Yeah, that's fucked up. He's trying to lure a child over so he can bind. He's smoking a cigar and that's how you know he's a piece of shit. I think he's smoking a little cigarillo. He's got a little little guy in there. That guy's smoking a pipe. I don't think they made blunts in 1903. These paintings are so old. You painted dogs playing poker in 1894?

People are so much like us in the past. It's crazy. Man was really ahead of his time. I love any of those historical things about like how funny like Romans or or classical composers thought like fighting was. Yeah. Any of that shit is just... Is the Beethoven song The Lick My Ass? Same for one of his songs? Like Mine Arsh. Lick him Arsh.

It's only until modern times that people like then have started to think, oh it's not very funny for farts to have it. But it's right. It's good comedy's gone work. I got another one for you here. This one's from Mark 1978, titled, uh-oh, Spaghettios. This has an attached photo of a Campbell's Spaghettios can. And he's written in the body text here. Everybody hate Chef Boyardy Spaghetti's growing up, right? Not if Campbells has anything to say about it.

What? to say about it. I mean, I don't understand. I'll say it again, I probably rushed through that. Everybody hate Chef Boyardy spaghettios growing up right, not if Campbell's has anything to say about it. Yeah. So you're saying people used to hate spaghettios and now they say they didn't hate spaghettios? No, I think, hold on, hold on, I think what's happened, if I can do a little detective work then. I think there is their their their their their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is a their is a their is a their is a their is a their is a th. I th. I'll is a th. I'll thi thi their is a th. I'll th. I th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll 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 they they they they they they their th. I'll their th. I'll their their their their th. I'll their their thi. I'll their thi. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll ty. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll their they didn't hate spaghetti? Hold on, hold on. I think what's happened, if I can do a little detective work, Ben, I think that there is a typo in the first sentence, and they are actually trying to say, everybody ate chef boyardy spaghettios growing up, right? As in, the brand of spaghetti the tauteo is in the past. their the brand of sifthoy the the the thie thie thy thy thy thy thy thy in thy thy thy thy th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I I I I I I is th. I I th. I I I I th. I th. I I th. I I th. I th. I th. I is th. I is thi. I is thi. I is thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I theea. I thi. I theauuuea. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. They have changed it. They have, Campbells have notoriously changed the fabric of space and time. Yes. And I think you are correct about that. And what he's happened here, or what's happened to him when the universe is threat to conne is that it's only, I don't know how recently, but they're Campbell's spigetios. But they used to be Franco-American SpaghettiOs and Franco-American is branded Campbell's

owns and they just change the branding at some point. You're just getting confused with Chef Boyard Day. And a lot of people in the comments are just like, well they used to be Franco-American, but then you can't say that to someone. But like they were made by French immigrants. You can't do that. It's in the rules of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub of the sub sub You can't do that. It's in the rules of the subreddit that you can't say anything to like neg somebody's. Which is my favorite thing about that Reddit is that like everyone is super convinced

that their own thing has been retconned but then they'll see other people's thing and they'll be like, no I think it was just they were Franco-American. I don't think they were chef boy ID. Hold on a second I got a problem. So Campbell's makes spaghetti o's right? Correct. Yes. We all we all understand the concept of a spaghetti O, it's spaghetti in the shape of? Oh. An O? Thank you. And spaghetti oop. Well Campbell's also sell ravioli owes. That's a ravi Raviole? Are the o's? Ravio? You might be picturing all kinds of amazing stuff. What that is, is ravioli in a can.

It's not in the shape of an O and I don't fucking think they should call it that. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. You can't do that. Why would you call it that? Oh of some kind. Fucking hell. Fuck. I'm sick of this shit. Sick of this shit. I'm not going to take it anymore.

Woke agenda. This one's from you slash dinosaur ninja. Sounds like a funny guy. Can anyone see the moon right now? If you can, please take a photo and post it. Yeah, yeah. And you know you're getting a good photo of the moon from somebody's phone. Yeah, that's right. Ben, did you listen to a recent episode of our friends over at Downround

where they were talking about like camera's on cell phones? Yeah, and like Samsung's, was the Samsung's? Yeah, AI replacing the phone, the moon in photos? And they looks like you're trying to take a photo of the moon. Let me just scooch the Samsung. S Samsung. S Samsung. S Samsung. S Samsung. S Samsung. S Samsung? Samsung? Samsung? Samsung. S. S. the same? the same? the same? the same? their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their? their. their? their. their. their. their. their. their. 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. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the moon in photos. And it looks like you're trying to take a photo of the moon. Let me just scooch the moon in here real quick. And then they denied it. And then the way they proved that they were really doing it was by taking a photo of the moon, and then taking a photo of the moon. Like, so good.

Oh, so good. Theat. They just had all these different people posting their pictures they'd taken of the moon. They're like, funny, it looks like the exact same image of the moon in all of these photos. It's so fucking annoying. That like, yeah, that's a really good episode of DownRound to listen to about phone cameras, if that's not a, if it's not a paywall. What is a photo? But yeah, just like the fact that that that that that that the fact that the fact the fact the fact that the fact the fact that the fact the fact the fact that the fact that the fact that the fact that that that that that that the fact that that that that that that that that that that that the fact the fact the fact that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's, that's, that's, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, that's, that's, that's, that's, their, their, their, their, their, exposures and they're doing all the shit in there which is why that like, if you ever try and take a photo that, uh, if you're somewhere and you feel like you have really nice lighting of like the color temperature and the way the shadows look at all that stuff, and you take a photo with your phone, it'll just look like absolute dog shit, it's really frustrating. Because it's mostly trying to just fill in they just imagining this person taking a series of photos with their phone and going, it looks the same in every one of these.

The fuck is the same? Absolutely. And then getting sent some pictures of the moon. This are all the same picture of the moon. Moon can't look the same moon. You just sound insane, like I keep taking photos of the moon, it just looks like the moon. Uh-huh. That's what's meant to happen, sir. No, like the same moon, the same moon. So you go to work today or?

This one's from you slash Whitore. I come from the universe where Sephora is spelled Sophora. I came from the universe. Where Sepha, it's SEPHRA, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the same, it's, the same, it's, the same, it's, the same, it's, the same, the same, it's the same, it's the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, it's the universe. Where Sephora is spelled S-F-R-A, so instead of S-E-P-H-O-R-A, it's S-A-P-H-O-R-A. So you just didn't know how to spell S-Safora. Yeah, because it probably wasn't a huge part of your life. Probably. I noticed it after, quote, S-Faura, Sophora, that put scare coins around the correct spelling, started to advertise a sale in my country two weeks ago. It just, I don't...

Where's your artifact? Where's your... Where's your detritus? What's the thing they call when they take it from another time, another universe, and they hold it up and they eat this? Look, here it is. It says Sephora. I think timetime the the the time time the the time time the tritea thiiiiatice thiatice thiatice thiatice thiatice. thiatice. thiatice. thiatice. thiatice. thiatice tha tha tha tha tha thi. thiatice thiatice thiase thiase thiase tha tha tha tha tha thase. thase. thase. thase. thase. tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's toa. It's toa. It's toa. It's ta. It's ta. It's ta. It's ta.a. It's tha. It's they eat this, look here it is, it says Saphora. I think time detritus. Where's your time to try this? Yeah, can you offer up what piece of time to try this for us? Where's your multi-verse Meg? I don't think you can touch time to try this. I think it makes you very sick

or you melt like in time cop if you thing where you bring it to here and then you're in this reality and you watch it kind of just shimmer and fade into. This said Saffora. I swear to God it said it used to say Saffora. Oh, it's a great thing to yell at someone. It used to be Saffora. Now it's Saffora. You don't go to work today either or? Okay. Bathrobes staying out all day, huh? It's just, I love this community for being like the most Occam's Razor disrespecting community on the planet. Yeah.

Is it me? Who's out of touch? No, it's the universe that is wrong. It's the entire fucking universe. Imagine if you managed through some Donnie Darko-esque shenanigans to slip into a parallel universe, but like the point of difference with the spelling of Sephora. Yeah, like to what end? Yeah, what are they trying to do to you? Like who cares? Like you're not going to like go to the New York Times and be like, hey, I come from apparently the universe. Everything's identical, but it's spelled Sifora over there. This from you flimsy setting. Was the sun yellow for anyone today? It feels like I saw the sun being yellow again.

Not just a big bright light light light to the sky. Yellow, you just put a cloud in front of it. Yeah, maybe there's some haze. The temperature of the light changes based on some atmospheric conditions. Got this far in life not understanding like, like light refraction and stuff? Just anything. Just anything. Not understanding anything. Oh, the moon was the the the the the the the the the sun the sun the sun the sun the sun the sun is the sun is the sun is the sun is the sun is the sun is the sun is the sun is yellow.

It's like yeah, it'll do that. Since the sun's white. Color of the sun's white. What color temperature is it? Do you get recond? I did get recond. I'm getting the redconned live. The, uh, the color temperature is 5800K, so that's not white.

That's a... It's not a cool white. The sun is a warm white. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's what they want you to think. Yeah. So maybe some of these, uh, universe changes, timeline changes aren't exactly headline news, but there is a segment where we talk about stuff that is headline news. And we call that here, no stories. Fans push Fisher Price Corn Pupper into Toy Hall of Fame. Get in there! Yes! Do you guys know what the cornpopper is? Yeah. Is that the thing when they push and it pops? I think it's a really American toy. I've only seen it on American TV. I know from American

movies and TV and I never knew what it was called. The corn popper? Corn popper. I mean I feel like there's a bunch of versions of it where it doesn't, like sometimes it's just like a little balls. I think it's always the thor th. th. th. th. th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a th. It's a really th. It's a really thi.

User timeline underscore slash jumper has posted Anyone notice that the corn popper has little balls in it and yet it's still called the corn popper?

Why would they call it that? They are teasing us. Yeah, lazy, lazy retcorn. I saw it posted there with like a hundred up votes, which is a crazy big amount for that subreddit that was about the, there's a Snow White movie released like 10 years ago called Mirror Mirror. And they were like, now they're just rubbing it at our faces. I had to read through like 20 posts to try to figure out what the fuck they were talking about. Apparently there's a lot of stuff there about people either remembering or misremembering

or cross-timeline remembering the line from the Disney Snow White cartoon as being Magic Mirror or Mirror Mirror on the wall. But it turns out this movie wasn't an adaptation of the Disney one. It was just an adaptation to the Grimm. Uh-huh. Candidates, Trade Jabs at 2023 Mississippi hobnub. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

Good luck to all the candidates. I feel like we're not really hobnobbing as much as we used to be. Probably because of the novel coronavirus. Well, I mean, I'd love to...

Interesting. Do you reckon these people would see Rashomon and just die on the spot? Sorry, I just, I don't want to do this in a mean way.

I just, there was something that happened on the Discord yesterday that really tickled me. And I'd love to think, the Discord user philosophy bear Tim for posting this. So I believe it's new to the Discord, who posted in the show of the show, which is where we talk about, or sometimes talk about the show, and he asked, so what do we think is going on in the crime march intro? To which Theo has asked, is this a bit? My initial assumption was that something like this is happening. Robocop walks on the scene, malfunctioning says he's going to shoot everyone unless they comply, unclear what that means. Everyone is shouting, Ah, help me, then he starts shooting everyone, but a more heroic reading is maybe the people yelling, Ah, help me, are being menaced by criminals.

You've got to try Rotter and Robocop, brother. They're so close. They're like, respect for someone is like piecing it to piece. Piecing it together from first principles. Yeah Yeah, pencing, pencing, pencing, yeah, pencing, pencing, yeah, pencing, pencing, yeah, pencing, pencing, yeah, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, to to to to to to to to th is to thee, thi, the the thi, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the people the people the people, the the people, the the the the the the the they, the the the they, they, they, they, th, they, th, they, th, their th, th, their thi, thi, thi, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, yeah. Yeah, but listen to the metal, listen how heavy and the guns and that's not Robocop's voice. It's not Robocop's voice. That's Ian not a 9's voice. Yeah, but then of course the first thing someone does ask if they've seen a Robocop, they haven't. Well, can we use a movie. Yeah, yeah. You should Really. Most of the movies from like ages ago or whatever are bad. But Movercups is good. I despise you and your lifestyle.

Have a look at the movies I've put on your plex. Yeah, I'm not watching it. I want you to watch like any of the last 20 movies I've put on there. It'll change your life. How's this? How's this for you? How's the first one-third of the green night. That was a pretty decent movie. I like that. I still haven't seen it. They're trying pretty hard with the visual design and stuff which is nice. I always appreciate that. Yeah, you appreciate the first third of it. Yeah. First third. Unclear on whether I'll ever finish it. Put some really nice movies on there. This is from CBCC.

Yeah. A doxide monitor in Newfoundland is being accused of accepting crab as a bribe and falsifying documents to undercount the quantity of product being harvested. Is it a crabs fungible? I mean, is he funging crabs? Accepting crab as a bribe. I mean like you can sell crabs for money. Yeah, but are they effectively the same crab? Yeah. Yes. You say, hey, I'll look the other way for one crab and that's like an understood. I think it's roughly the same size crab, yeah. You're just sliding like 10 giant crabs across the table.

Yeah. Just click-clacking a bag. Ten crabs in it. Being handed a like, ten big ones. Being handed a like a click-clacking. Very angry paperback. Yeah, I'm thinking being being handed a like yeah rustling clicking sack with a crab printed on the outside. Yeah. I just leave these here. I'm very I had a bit of a moral dilemma with the story because I came across it. And I was like oh fuck this is perfect crab news for Big Soft Titty.P&G, which is, you know, one of their many, many segments.

I was like, I should send this to Tom and I was like, no, we're kind of low on stories this week. I'm going to take this one. But now, I'm worried, what if they also do this? Yeah, and they do it better. What if th if th if th if th if th, what th, what th, what th, what th, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what tho, what, what, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, tho, tho, tho. And, tho. And, tho. to. toge. togu. toda, today, today, tho. tho. tho. their, tho. th also do this? Yeah, and they do it better. What if those two professional comedians do a funnier job of reading this crab news story? I think it's sort of like two, you're hearing two different tellings of the same story. Yes, Rashomon. Fushimon. It's sort of like an Australian comedy podcast Rashamon.

Scott Fortune. Scott Fortune is great though. Scott Fortune, fantastic. Strong start. Scott Fortune 32 of St. David's has been charged with five criminal counts, two counts of fraud, one count of breach of trust by a public officer and two related to forging or falsifying documents. Sam Bankman Freed only got charged with seven. That's two more. And yet, think of the scale of the crimes.

And you think the number of crimes should be proportionate to their severity. I guess that makes intuitive sense, and the law should. The criminal charges were laid in October. According to documents obtained by the CBC News, Fortune is alleged to have accepted pans of crab from fishermen quote to admit actual quantities of crab being harvested. So they're harvesting crab that's like over their quota or for whatever reason they want to keep the crab numbers down on the record books and so they're just being like, hey pow. This one's on the house. and so they're just being like, hey pow, this one's on the house.

So are they, is he getting paid in crab to look the other way or are they giving him the excess crab above the quota down? Well you, you may as well have not. Then he gets crab. Why would you... Everybody wins. You may as well have not caught the extra in the first place. You may as well have reached your quota and then stopped crab. Of course. Instead of catching more crab.

What if they were practicing radical kindness? They take a pity on poor Scott. Hey, it would be illegal for us to gather more crab. He loves it so much. He loves it so much. So he's making that crab fettuccini. Yeah every time that we're like hauling crab pots out of the back of our boat is like yeah just in the back of the yupe mate. They don't, he's Australian and they're not familiar with that joke as a construct. You mean your truck? You mean your truck? You mean your truck? Want some crab? I should probably just give him some crab.

We've got extra. What have I got here? Now, the alleged defenses took place in Stephenville and Crabs River. What? What? What are the chances? Yeah, this man's receiving a river of crabs on Crabs River. On Newland's West Coast over a period of nearly two and a half years between January 1st 2021 and June 7th of this year.

Two and a half years of crab bribes. That's a lot of crab. That's worth it, really. Crabs, absolutely. Yeah. Play it, play the fucking song. Play the fucking song. I can't do it.

You can, you absolutely can. Do you just mean morally? Because you said, Crabsolutely. Absolutely, you have to play the song now. You are the Budavista comedian of the week. Oh, I guess you're right. I am the Budavedian of the frown. You know which point it starts to really get me. I have such a talent. You know which point it starts to really get me is the coughing, the dubbed him coughing.

When that starts happening it's when I really start to come about as it seems. Was it always that long? It's always been that long. I don't ironically love the comedian of the week Stinger. Yes. But even more I love how much Ben hates it. I don't know if I hate it. It's like. I donironically love the comedian of the week Stinger. But even more I love how much Ben hates it. He legitimately does not want to play. It causes him great psychic pain to push the button. I believe it. Sometimes I just think about you got 60 minutes to do an episode, you got one minute of farts. Now we've got two minutes less. Yeah. It's only one minute long. It's less work for us. It's got to be more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more.. It's than be more more more more more more more more more. It's than be more. It's than be more. than be more. than be more. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

It's less work for us. It's got to be more than a minute long. It feels much longer. It feels spiritually long. Seven to ten. It's like poll report. The poll report feels like. the thrown as a change of seasons by Dream Theater. Don't talk to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me. to me. to me. the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. the the tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

In addition, three charges were filed in August against Fortune under the Fisheries Act. Court filings led to the Fortune, while employed as a doxide monitor, made a false or misleading statement to a fishery officer around May 25, 2023 near Little Port Harmon and gave the fishery officer records that contained false or misleading information. Was the false information like... Just like SBF. There's a lot of parallels here. In a way, the crabs that this guy was receiving as bribes are much like the money that Sam

Bankman freeds other company that was supposedly not connected to the first was using to speculate or whatever. And they're trading in crab the currency. It's a good thing we've already played that. Oh, I've got my finger hovering over the fucking button. Fortune is also accused of possessing snow crab that was called in contravention of the Fisheries Act. This man has two different ways of taking illegal crabs. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Scott Fortune innocent. Until proven guilty. And then he will be super guilty. Where the crab

this man supposedly took. Just hammering down some crab sticks as the police are banging at the door. Fuck I got finished this fetching him off. Get to the door, whipping off his bib. Fortune who is being represented by a legal aid lawyer is due in court in Stephenville on November 20th. CBC News left messages with legal aid and Newfoundland's uh... Stephenville office but did not hear back before publication in a statement DFO said the incident involved a third-party contractor. DFO has revoked the individual's doxide monitor designation and real information. That's the worst thing

that you could do to them. Turn in your individual doxide monitor. What was that? You should give them the opportunity to commit Sepaku to regain their honor before they start practicing as a doxide monitor. Turn in your individual doxide monitor program designation and gun. You're a crap gun. Maintaining credibility and integrity and third-party monitoring programs ensures that DFO receives accurate and timely harvest data, which is essential in managing sustainable fisheries.

The fish harvesters resource center spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that Fortune was an employee but declined to comment further as the matter is before the court. Good luck out there. Scott Fortune. The Ocean. That's where we keep most of our crabs. Good luck out there, Scott Fortune. The ocean. That's where we keep most of our crabs. But we keep some animals in other places, and some of those places are called zoos. It's time for zoo watch. ZWO, ZW,O, Watch.

Let them out. Let them free. At least get them producing license plates. Get something back for our tax dollars. Monkeys could do that job. Yes, they'd probably like it. From Agen's false brits. Italy town on alert after circus line escapes.

Alessandro Grando, Mayor of Larespoly, issued the warning on social media that is the one place all those Italian honors. It's the one place all tho tho. It's the the the the the the the the the the the tho the the tho. It's tho.

That's the one place all those Italian honors are going to get it for sure. You've got to have a better system in place than doing a Facebook post about your face-post. A Facebook post. Like you wouldn't see it for a week the way the Facebook algorithm works.

You'd be dead by the time that you've read it. Go old-fashioned. Get a town crier out there, you know. Yeah. Wonder how many angry face reacts. Help, I'm being eaten by a lion. Hear you, hear you. There is a lion about to come and kill you. Everyone's doing the care react. Oh.

The mayor said the police were helping circus staff search for the animal. Quote, a lion escaped from the circus, he wrote, saying it had been traced to watercourse, to a water course next to the site. Please pay full attention and avoid travel until further notice, he said. Anticipating residents' complaints, he said, he had not authorized the presence of a circus with lions in the town, but he did not have the power to block it. What are you talking about? What power do you have?

What is the point of being a fucking mayor? I just want you guys to understand, this is not my fault. Yeah, there was no way I could have said, hey, don't bring that lion in here I'm just the man you say get go on get I hope that lion's living his best life in Rome yeah in Rama he's seeing my Italy he's seeing the birth of Venus he's doing the like the godfather three travel montage just walking around drinking some wine tasin. he's the feteen he's the same wine task to the same wine tasin' to the the the to th the to th th th th th th th th the th th th th the th th th th the the the the the the th the th the the the th get get get get get get get the the the to get get get get get get get get get get get get to get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get get to see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see see. he he he he's the same. he's the same. he's the same.

Tuscany, Roma, Sicily.

For example. The other ones. Pizza pie, Spaghetti. Spaghetti. Not raviolos though. Carbonara using heavy, heavy cream by the spoon. All those classic Italian things. Mmm, pizza with the pineapple.

They love that shit. Oh, Italy. Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's it. The lion's out there. Yeah, he's. Oh, Italy? Yeah. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. Seek.

Lion's out but don't blame the mayor. Yeah. I want you to know. I didn't invite the lion here, but also it's not my fault that the lion is here. I do like that he's like, I didn't authorize it. And also, whether or not I authorized it does not matter. I have no power here. Yeah, I didn't authorize it and I don't actually have the ability to tell you to stop bringing a lion into town.

Circus lobby is very powerful in Italy. They probably, they're hooked up with the black hand. It's basically just like saying, hey, watch out. the post. Oh, sure. I've got to do watch out. Yeah, on Facebook. I should, I gotta do a post today. Fuck, I forgot to do the post. Watch out, lion around. Lion. Lying around. Italy, it's in Europe.

Yeah. No one else is in Europe? Holland. It's time for Dutch watch. So true, Bestie. Holland! Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's time for Dutchwatch. So true, Bestie. Hey, everybody, I'm from Holland. Isn't that beer?

It was really second-guessing whether Holland was in Europe from Italy? In Europe? Yeah. Where else would it make? It's like, oh, maybe it's in the Eurasian step. Maybe they moved out. For a second I was like, oh maybe, it's in the Eurasian step. Maybe they moved out, horseback to charges. Oh, it's in Europe minor.

I'd hate to be made to look a fool on this show. Yeah. From Dutch News. N.L. A kibble pout. I think it's kibble puss. Kibble puss. Kibble puss. Kibble puss.

A kibble poos. A kibble poise is a social media sensation. That's, I don't want a very fishy pastry. Yeah. No thank you. Listen up to their chair around. Hey, let's wrap. Listen up, guys. My deletable, fishy, kibblepuss. Turn your chair around. Hey, let's wrap.

Hey, I'm turning my chair around backwards to face you the listener. And I'm saying things like, move over, tompus. Stand aside. Crompus. There's a whole new culinary sensation that's sweeping the nation, and it's called Kiiblpbus. it's sweeping the nation and it's called Giblpus. I don't know why stand aside Crumpus makes me think of that, the fucking, it's a Maxlever tweet that's just like, stand aside, citizen surfs up. Stand aside, crumpus.

Stand aside, crumpus. The Gibblepus is a fried fish version of the popular pastry typically eaten during Cornings Dark festivities every April. The strange treat. Mmm. I'm looking up tompus. It looks like a kind of vanilla slice. Yeah, sounds nice.

It sounds like a treat. Yeah. And you say this one's some sort of fried fish? About a crompous? Ah, that's a chrassant crossed with a tompus. So you remember all that shit about like cronets and shit? Yeah. Yeah, this is sort of like a Dutch cronut analog. Okay.

So yeah, a tom- the tompus looks like a vanilla slice with something pink on top of it. Yeah. slice with something pink on top of it. Yeah, but this has fish in it. Feech? Yeah. Okay. The strange treat has been attracting tons of attention since it debuted on the social media accounts of P&M seafood earlier this week. I wonder what kind of incentive they have to put fish in this delicious treat.

To say everyone's talking about the thing I shoved some fish into. A short video of the Kibblepuss quickly went viral and has received over 893,000 views on the fish stands TikTok account. as of Tuesday evening. What do we reckon those posts are like Dutch seafood stand tick-tock account? Oh that's got to be good content. Yeah that's got to be good. The jokes? Get on that. Yeah, resident. Sven reviewing the cable booth. I'm just going to say 893,000 views. It's not the same as engagements though, is it? No,

but there's still better numbers than like the regional America once we do. We're like, it's gone viral with over 70 people responding to the Facebook post. It was made with kibbling, battered fish, custard and frosting. Oh, no, there's all. By co-owner, Mathis. It's a joke food. And his colleagues. Our inspiration came after the hype of the crompuish, Van Ursel told Dutch news.

More and more variants came online and I immediately thought, I immediately thought we should also do that. What was happening there? The fuck was happening? We should also do this with gibbling. Why was that your thought? Why did you think that? Why did you think there? What the fuck was happening? We should also do this with gibbling. Why was that your thought? Why did you think that? Why do you think you can ruin a delicious... Because when all you have is fried fish,

everything looks like something that you can put fried fish into. So true. Very much. Yeah, just looking around the room. A whole bunch of fish going off. Got a whole bunch of stinky fish here. Got some fish I gotta move. But everybody seems to like this custard pastry. Hmm. I've got an idea.

Time to smoke some weed and want to eat this. Well, what was that? Good news because there's a little bit of a twist towards the end of the article. It's illegal. The crompus, which is one part, tompus, and one part, chasselle, started popping up in bakeries around the Netherlands earlier this year. It's drawn raves from customers as well as plenty of ire from purists and pastry chefs, loading their guns, writing their lists of who they're going to kill.

If you're hankering to try a gibblebus, though, you shouldn't visit P&M's seafood fish cart any time soon. Yeah. You shouldn't visit P&M's seafood fish cart any time soon. Yeah. Quote. He's a sex pest. It's just a joke, Van Earsal said. We have not considered selling this.

The video was shot with the idea of attracting a lot of attention. We stand behind our fish and sell the best quality. Actually, selling this would go against our principles. So we did half a fucking episode on Dutch jokes and you can check that out in the premium episode. Or don't. Yeah. No, it was a good episode. Other was an absolute banger. Oh, okay. Had a good intro? Yeah, I do say so myself. That's true. I agree. Generated a lot of traffic, a lot of engagement. Yeah, I think because... Tainly because of one thing that you said specifically. Yeah, for your interesting understanding of... Yeah.

And if you want to find out what Theo thinks, now I don't even know how to phrase this in a way that makes sense. That makes me not sound like a... Like a crazy person? Weirdo. Yeah. Check out. Theo's conception of a pussyhammer in the previous bonus episode.

I heard all about this. Yeah. Well, it's been the talk of the town like everybody's talking about it. I hate to, I hate complaining. I'm not a big fan of it, but the number of people that we had right in and go What the fuck is a pussyhammer and then three minutes later be like Oh, just got up to that part a little bit down the road. You just wait you can wait a little while Anyway, that was in the bonus episode a lawnmow mowler and some Italian leather. I don't know. I don't know how common this is an experience for other people who run podcasts, semi-popular

podcasts. I assume it's a relatively common experience to have somebody comment on your Patreon or your whatever. What, hey, you're actually wrong about this thing or you haven't finished explaining this thing to my satisfaction and like about seven minutes later they come and again going, oh I kept listening and you answered. I'll listen to the rest of your sentence. I kind of wrote this comment mid-sentence thinking that it wasn't going anywhere.

Congratulations to all these people really living in the moment. Yes, thank you for actively listening, not passively listening to the public. That's true. But 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's th. That's th.

It's always interesting to me to get straight to, I'd better get in toubts. Plus you should be washing the dishes while you're listening to the podcast so your hands should be wet. So I don't even know. You shouldn't have free hands. Yeah, you should be like mopping or something. What are you doing? Siri, open Patreon.

Begin dictating, tersely word and email. And we do want to thank you for listening. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you so much. Also for kind of mildly yelling at us and then coming back a few minutes later to say, oh, never mind. Yeah, we love that actually. Maybe write us a letter while you listen to the podcast and then decide whether to send it. Yes, write it up by hand while you're listening and then do an edited sort of draft with all of your corrections.

Yeah. Put it in your, put it in your dresser drawer. Notes app. Yes. And then set a reminder with Siri, se reminder, send letter to Buntavista in one week, you know, or, hey Alexa, set a reminder for me, if I could do this shit again. Set a reminder for me to send my handwritten letter to Buntavista, next week,

or, hey, Google, set a reminder for one week from now for me to send a letter to Buntavista so I'm expecting to get some letters I guess over a week from now yes just give it some time you know maybe we'll read it later and think I did listen to the whole episode and they addressed my concerns yeah they explained what a pussyhammer was or what Theo thought was a pussy hammer yep well don't give it away. You know. The gibblepous is just the latest parody version of the crampus you can find online. Other pranksters have made hamburger, cucumber, sushi roll, chicken, and herring variations.

Okay. That's a hairy prank. That's a very close to the... Yeah, it's like we're just kind of doing the exact same thing. We're all just getting there, the same way. It's so funny to do something like this and they'd be like, it was a joke. And we wouldn't do that actually. We would never do that. We would go against our values here. And we all like to have a little bit of fun. But let's get serious for a second.

No. It was a joke but to be clear we do not think it is funny. That is disgusting. Oh. It also doesn't task very good apparently. Oh. A colleague of Van Esels tried the Kibblebuse and spat it out after a single bite. Fair enough. Well, that's where you draw the line in the Dutch palate. That's where you're like, oh no, that's yucky. Oh, this fish has all this gross pastry on it. Bill. My pickled fish's taste is being ruined.

Reactions to photos and videos of the fishy pastry have been largely skeptical as well. This is going too far, one Tick-Tock view wrote. But not everyone is so quick to write it off. Delicious, another wrote. It is the perfect mix of sweet and savory. It's like salted caramel, you know? It's exactly the same as salted caramel. Grohup, if you don't think this sounds delicious, you have the pellet of a baby. Yeah, you got a baby's pellet.

Are you a baby? Are you a baby? Are you wearing a nap-y? I hate. I need some chicken nuggies. The sound of the word it makesk, that makes makes makes makes makes makes that makes that makes tha tha tha th word makes me uncomfortable. Kibble Puss. Kibble Puss. Kibble Puss. So do we have to keep making these videos of the yaki-looking food? Yes.

We have to for some reason. The economy needs it. We're seeing them on now, though. Is this just for people that are on Tick Tock? Maybe. I think it's for everywhere. I think think think think think think think thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thoom thi thi thi. thi. thooom thooom. thoom thoos. thoom thoom thoom thoom thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. thi th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi 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 thi thi thi thi thi th it's for, I think it's for everywhere. I think it's for everywhere. I think it's for Facebook. Well, Twitter can't load videos anymore. So, oh right.

They're just shuddering to a stop. The way that we've made a online environment where you just have to make something that's like gross. Yeah, just something rented. Benchtop, spaghetti. You have to make content that's really bad for attention. Yeah. Just sort of like, maybe it's just by yourself.

Maybe it's with three of your friends. Maybe just horrible content. Like deliberately bad content. You have to do it. You just got to keep making. You don't know what would happen if you stopped. Lowest brow jokes that you could possibly do. It's pushing out your memory of how to spell Sephora. No, it's probably fine.

That was technically an episode of the podcast. Buntavista. Thank you so much for joining us. We loved having you here on the free episodes.

Don't forget a little bit of pressure from me. Oh okay, some pressure. I'm being a little bit pushy about it. Golly it would be ever so nice. We got a merge door. You figure too good for the bonus episodes and Ben's kind of like putting his arm across the front of me and pushing me towards the door.

He's a little bit too much to drink. He's kidding. He's just changed medications. Not joking, bro. You get too good for this shit. We got a merch store. We got shirts. We got skins. Skins. I think we got shirts. We should get some jumpers. That's about it. I think at the moment it's shirts. But yeah, we might chuck some more stuff on there soon. The summer catalog or the winter catalog if you're in the northern hemisphere, I guess. Otherwise, hey, that's enough from us. Stay safe out there.

Check your Mayor's Facebook page to see if there is an escaped circus animal around you because sometimes it takes a little while for it to actually appear on your algorithmic feed. So that's the tip of the week. Check the Mayor's Facebook page directly go straight to his profile. Yes. His auto profile. They're profile. Wow. Wow. I was going in a different time. The night's baby. We stayed up late. We watched TV. We drank more our guys. We drank from the hose. We hated women. Yeah, fuck those guys. I don't even think they should be allowed to be commercial airline pilots. I didn't wear a helmet. I got hit in the head so many times. Yeah. So many concussions. I got a head that's shaped like that photo of the comet the Japanese Space Agency to recently. Doesn't look good. All right. Okay. Bye.

By. you
