Hello and welcome to Butte Vista. Adam and Eve, they split their, well, well, they might have given that one. Hello and welcome to Butta Vista. Episode 348, I am Ben, and I'm here on the first manned mission to Mars. After making the trip into orbit and transferring to the space-assembled United Earth Long-Range Space Vessel, Athenia, me and my two fellow crew members hunkered down for the long nine-month journey before landing and unpacking and assembling the modest prefab facilities that will house us for the next two years. That's right, for the next 24 months, we'll be sharing quarters in a space even tiny

than the smallest IKEA display apartment, with no company except each other. Well, I guess there's nothing left to do but assemble this clarinet and set to work learning how to play it. Oh, it turns out you get a note wrong in this, it makes really unpleasant hock noise. I'm sure I'll figure that out soon. Also with me, having never played a violin before, but still giving it the old-fashioned college try. It's Theo. Hi, Theo. Hey, man.

So you'd think, you know, I was going to bring my guitar, which is an instrument that I kind of know the fundamentals of playing. Yes. But I thought, you know, we've got all this time. Why not learn something new. The first thing you find out about violin, no frets. Yeah. So when you play it just sounds like... Yeah. And you're still in the stage where you can't make it make the good noise. Yeah. And theoretically there is one. Theoretically there is one and I'm just wondering whether, without somebody else kind of sharing with you how to make the good noise. Yeah. is one and I'm just wondering whether without somebody else kind of sharing

with you how to make the good noise. Yeah, whether it's actually possible to make the good good good. Brute force of violin maybe, you don't think? I don't know. We're going to find out. Two years. Two years. 24 months. And certainly like two that's probably long enough to give an answer yes or no. Yes. Yeah. Not after one year. Probably two years, I'd say. Is it feasible for man to make a life on Mars? And also, did you figure out how to make the villia and make the good noise? Make the good notes, yeah.

Yeah, and because we'll all be dead by then, they'll probably just read no as the answer from that one. Yeah they'll come and they'll collect our um star logs from our bodies. Yeah the robots from the end of AI will be like I wonder what happened here. Yeah you'll find me you'll find me on the toilet dead with a violin speared through my skull. Just a note that says such good miss on scene. I'm learning the violin. Todd Howard, you've done it again. That's why he gets paid the big bucks. Also with us, try to figure out the finger positions on a piano accordion. It's Andrew. Hey man, you know what any of these holes are?

No. They got a ton of stuff on there. You got to do stuff on the keys on one side. Yes. But there's more stuff on the other side. There's more stuff on the other side. And I'm meant to be like moving my arms in and out. I'm going to be also producing. Well that makes the honks. Yeah. That honks the be be honks the bellows. I guess the good news is one side is recognizable. One side is piano style. Bad news? Can I play a piano?

Yeah. So I figure like by the time I'm done figuring this out, I'll be able to play piano, too? Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably. And you'd be able to, like if you try to play piano after mastering the piano accordion, you'd probably be bored because you're doing so many other things while you're playing piano accordion. Now you're just like, well, you know, what am I meant to do with my arms while I'm doing this?

Yeah, I can't like squeeze the piano. They should make a squeezable piano for... I think that is actually the single thought that led to the piano accordion. What does it squeeze this thing? I wish it just feels like it's missing something. It feels like a... Some sort of squeezability. Yeah, if only someone could combine the classic instrument,

ageless I would say, of the piano. One of the best instruments out there, and they thought, what if I could be combining this with the physical expression of blacksmithing at the same time? Hmm. So I've just fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole here. Do you guys want to see the single ugliest musical instrument in human history? Yeah, okay for this for this audio medium show that we're doing. Yeah, well, one of you could maybe describe it, um, think you might have the language specifically for this. Yeah, if you sort of look at that link that I've posted there.

Okay, I'm just looking at the URL, Wood Viper six-fretted magenta. That's right. That sounds like it might maybe describe like a guitar or something. No, that's, oh my god. Okay, so we are, we are looking at a flying V guitar body shape. One single knob, which I assume is for volume. But, but it has a chin rest on the end of one of the Vs. The strings are very much mounted on a violin slash viola style bridge, you've got frets all the way up the fingerboard. Yes.

Six strings, if it wasn't obvious at this stage, with sort of, and they're back to violin, viola kind of tuners. So is that what a burl is? No, is the wood that's made from? Okay. What is, this is violin's viper, six string? Oh, this is a wanker's instrument. It's a wanker's instrument. Yeah, that's right. It's an electric violin in the shape of a flying V guitar down to like, yeah. The, the headstock. And like, it, this, it, thi's, it, it's, it's, it's, 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 woe, the woe, the wood is the wood is the woe, the wood is wood is wood is wood is wood is wood is wood is the wood is the wood is the wood is the wood is wood is wood is wood is a the wood is wood is the wood, it's wood is 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. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's that's that's wood, that's wood, that's wood, that's wood, that's wood, that's wood. It's the, the. It's the it this looks like if Steve Vye got worse somehow got like more annoying he'd pull this out everyone the audience be like oh my god he's got the electric violin he's doing it this no this is a

Jordan Rue de Sass instrument unfortunately hey you think Andre who is chugy well what if he played this? Yeah I think the EU has made it illegal to play this this thi thi this tho- this this this tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho- tho- tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I the this this this this this this is this is a this is a tho-I this is a the-s this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the the thi thi thithis? I think the EU has made it illegal to play this anywhere that isn't either like a Swedish hotel where all of the decorations and furniture are made out of solid pieces of ice or on stage at a show that's happening in the universe of John Wick. Yeah, yeah. This is the only... Definitely. There's like a busker in the John Wick Universe who's doing like violin covers of metal songs. Yeah, while he's fighting someone on the street in front of them, but everybody's kind of ignoring the fighting. Yeah. This is the sort of shit that like, someone playing one of these would go viral on YouTube very easily, like 10 years ago. Yeah. They've been like, oh my god, watch the, you think that this classical musician is boring?

Check them out playing nothing else matters on a flying V violin. What if it was the worst thing you'd ever heard? God, this just implies the shittiest music, just looking at it. And guess what? It's on sale. It was $8,949. Now it's only $5,767. There is not enough instrument there too.

I think you're losing money by not buying it, honestly. I think you're losing money by buying it. According to the product description here, it does say, the instrument sounds as good as it looks. Oh, I believe you on that one. I would advertise that. Yeah. You could be so annoying with this.

You could be more annoying than anyone who has ever lived. Hey, what did you spend your $10,000 going to Mars for two years bonus on? Well, funny you ask that, instead of me telling you, why don't I show you? Have you guys ever heard of Apocalyptica? What? Hey, a bunch of astronauts killing each other on Mars because they all picked really annoying instruments. Imagine what the write-up would be like if it was covered in the British tabloids. It's ti. It's th. It's. It's. It's. It's. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th- thu, thu, thu, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, thu, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, th-it, th-it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the their their their their their their their their their their thi-it, thi-a, thi. thi. thi. Well, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, all picked really annoying instruments. Imagine what the write-up would be like if it was covered in the British tabloids. It's time for tabloid phenomenon.

I'm sick of Americans go into space. They should send some geesees up there. Yes. Got a couple of proper lads up there. A couple of sound lads. Send some Welsh guys to space. Yes. Send some Welsh guys to space. We need some astronauts from the Midlands. I've showed you guys the first Australia that went into space, right? I don't know it. Actually, he might have been the midlands. I've showed you guys the first Australian that went into space right? Actually he might have been the second Australian in space he's a

Greek is funnier if he's funnier let's pretend he's the first. Yeah let's say the first Greek Australian in space because those were the two flags that he was wearing on his... Please have a look at this image. Come on. Look. Is there a Greek guy at your office job because this is him? This is him? Yeah. You know, he's just a regular guy, just a regular... He's a thrillionaire. He calls himself a thrillionaire. I forgot about that because he's a millionaire but he goes on adventures. Oh my God. He's written a book called the thrillionaire. He calls himself a thrillionaire. I forgot about that because he's a millionaire, but he goes on adventures. Oh my god. He's written a book called the thrillionaire.

That is the cool as hell. That's cool as hell. That is the most Greek Australian millionaire thing to do. Yeah, oh, this guy is fucking just... All right. Like if I got in a space suit, and they were taking my official spacesuit photos with like the Australian flag and shit behind me and my face looked like that I would ask. Can we get a do-over? Oh my god. Can we just get a mullah?

Hey, actually one of my thrills, one of the things that I love more than sitting back down for the photo and maybe like straightening my posture up a little before you pushed a button on the camera? He just looks in the same posture of the book too. He's too relaxed. He's also doing like a, appears to be doing like a TEDx talk from the surface of the mood. What is he wearing? What is he wearing? The longest-sleeved button up, just striped shirt you've ever seen.

I think he might be wearing the like Ebeneezer's scrooge pajamas, maybe, but just without the sleeping cap. Unless that's a traditional Greek garment. And then I'd like to extend my apologies to the Greek people. I don't believe that you are all sleepy and curious about the noises inside your home. I'm just, I'm looking at photos of like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in their spacesuits, and I think, I think that he could learn something, I think Nick could learn something from looking at these guys and just what's their posture like maybe make your posture like that when you're in your photo. Armstrong's a bit goofy a lookin than I thought. These guys have all got five heads you need to have a

five head to go to space. It just didn't used to matter if you had a receding hair line the same way it does now. Yeah, these guys were all 25. Yeah, I think also like guy with the worst head doesn't get off the ship. Sorry, Michael Collins. You're the backup. Have you tried wearing a hat? They give you one, they give you one before you get off the shuttle. Yeah. Cover that up, ooh. It couldn't fit in. Ben, I like the epicite the three instruments that you cannot play a quiet version of. Yes, there's simply no way. Oh, sorry, I left my trumpet mute at home. There's probably some sort of cyber trumpet.

This is a two-month-old story. Do not get mad at us. Don't, I don't know. It slipped through the cracks the first time, but you know. This time it's firmly wedged in a crack. It's stuck. Its head is all. It's right in there. It's stuck. Its head is all the way through the crack,

but its bottom is wriggling around above the surface. Help me, help me, the story is saying. Yeah, we're gonna help it good. Do you want to help this story with me, folks? Lucy is recovering from surgery. You cannot be mad at us. Help me step hosts. This comes from the Daily Record.

A rat catcher has warned rodents are, quote, getting bigger and bolder. And he once caught one which was bigger than a dog. Yes. I feel like we've been hearing, not to kind of doubt the various military to this guy, straight off the bat, but I feel like we've been hearing about rat-sized dogs since time immaterium. Yeah, time immaterium. Yeah, time immaterium.

I reckon there's definitely like whatever equivalents to the newspaper they were, like town criers in like the nine hundreds were like, rats are bigger than ever. Rats as big as 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, straight, straight, that, straight, straight, that, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, thatu thatuatuatuatuatuatuatuatuatuat, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, straight, that, that, straight, that, straight, that, straight, straight, that, straight, straight, that, straight, straight, straight, straight, that, straight, that, that, that, that newspaper they were, like town criers in like the 900s were like, rats are bigger than ever! Rats as big as dogs! It's like that old, that old fable, that's so important to learn about the boy who cried, dog-sized rat. Yes. Yeah. You can only make that claim so many times.

Sure kid. Former military man, Kieran Sampler has dealt, th, th, th, th, th, th, to th, to th, to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-a, thi-a, rats, thiolets thiolets thiolets thiolets that's that's that's that's that's that, rats, rats, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats that, rats military man, Kieran Sampler has dealt with 50,000 rodents in his career as a pest controller. I think he'd be count. This is world building. This is beautiful world building. Like just a real economy of information in that sentence, military man. His name is Sampler.

He's just sampling his rodents. Yes. man. His name is sampler. He's just sampling his rats. He has been sampling his rats. I want to say I'm I, the detail of being ex-military is instantly giving me like Chris Kyle, American sniper, making up stories, vibes. But you're not allowed to say bullshit. No, because Chris Kyle will kill you. Yeah. You will shoot you at the firing range. All right, that's where he got shot, does that? Sometimes the sniper becomes the sniper-e. Yeah, yeah. And sometimes the other person surprises you by sniping you from several feet away.

Switching it up. Yeah, well that's the least likely place for a sniper to be. That's right. I'm always scanning the horizon. Over by the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the firing the the the the firing the the the the the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing the firing 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-fing th-fing thing thing tho-fing tho-foing tho-foing tho-foing tho-foing thoing tho-foing thoing thoing thoing thoing the firing the that's the least likely place for a sniper to be. That's right. I'm always scanning the horizon, not over by the Coke vending machine. It's such a good move. Look, we're snipers, we know each other. It's like a game of chess. If I was him, I'd be up there and that blind right now. Because I know that, he's three feet away from me, he's jumping the leg. The ex-Lance Bombardier Kiran, once caught a rat, which measured 22 inches head to tail.

Double the size of a Chihuahua's body and bigger than a Yorkshire Terrier. You can't double dip on dog size comparisons. Pick one dog to compare it to. Double the size of a Chihuahua's body and bigger than a Yorkshire Terrier. Yeah, also, the the the the the the the the the the the the the ex, the the th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th-lant, th-lain, th-lain, th-lain, thian, thian, thiance-launcant, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, th-lan, th-lain, th-lain, th-lain, th-lancance, th-lance, th-lance, th-lance, th-lance, th-lance, th-a, th-a, th-a-lant, th-lant, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, thanks, thanks, thanks, than, thanks, than, than, to. Double the size of a chihuahua's body and bigger than a York shterria. Yeah, also, are we measuring in dog or dog's body? Because that's sort of, they're implying to me here. The up or from the root. They're implying to me here that we're talking about double the size of a chihuahua. Like if I took took took took the size took took the size took the size took thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thus thus thus thus thus their thus thus thus thus their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size the size their their their their their their their their thus thus chihuahua and then did two of them side by side. Can I just get another line reading on chihuahua?

Briefly. Chihuahua. I'm hearing a chihuahua. Chihuahua. That's delightful. Showawawa. And I love they're still leading on the, uh, on this guy's rank. guys rank like. Yeah, ex-Lance Bombadier. This guy was in fucking Afghanistan, dude. What's the opposite of lending this

credence? Stealing its credence? Yeah. Taking your credence back? You know what? I actually need that back? Give me that credence. Yeah. Oh, this will clarify it for anyone who is confused like me. Thank you. The rank of Lance Bombardier is the artillery counterpart of Lance Corporal. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. What. What. What. What. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's 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 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. the artillery counterpart of Lance Corporal. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we all read the Wikipedia article for military ranks relatively often. So that would be the, that's the second rank, right after private,

private, lance corporal, sergeant. Yeah, just above private first class and below corporal. You are correct. That's fucked up. Wikipedia articles. Yeah. I messed up. The 29-year-old says most rats he catches now measure in at 18 inches long. I don't believe you. He's including the tails.

For sure he's including the tails. But and yet, he's asking me to measure something in two of a Chihuahua's body. Yeah. Shihuahua, do you like that, I love it. Give the miss man, the chuckles. Maybe his net has a hole that's 17 inches wide in it. It's only, it's like that, the photo of the plane. It's like the photo of the plane.

And we all know what the significance of that is. That's right. Yeah. Came back with those dots on it. Yeah. That's a problem. I got a pain ball gun. But only around these certain spots. This podcast is so smart. It makes a high and low brow. That's right. Lance Pomodeo, Kiran, explain. Rats are getting bigger, bolder, and more frozen. They're less bothered about humans, cats or anything. Okay, like,

just the fact that they might be getting like psychologically worse is very funny. They're turning into arshoes. They won't take no for an answer. They're really entitled. They understand consent but they don't care. They freak out when screen time ends. The mirror reports the dad from Wakefield, West Yorkshire says more food waste

on the streets and less pest control during the pandemic has emboldened the rats. You don't want your rat emboldened. No. You want him meek. Yeah. You want him pious. You want your rat pious. You want a deferential rat. A rat that goes, oh I'm so sorry. Yeah, you have the room. I'm gonna scurry out of it while you do your stuff. Sort of a Woody Allen figure rat. Yeah. A rat that can raise his child. Marriot. Marriot. I'm an apologetic rat. Uh, Kieran said, Rats can be devious after studying their behaviour for seven years. I can tell you that. I haven't studied rat behavior at all.

Yeah. I think rats can be devious. As a casual rat observer, I know this. I thought about rats for 30 seconds and I arrived at the conclusion that rats are devious from first principles. Yeah. Well here's a question, perhaps, do you think we could assume the Malcolm Gladwell mastery of rats for this guy? If he's spent seven years and he's observed 50,000 rodents that he's probably spent 10,000 hours observing rats? You think in five rats per hour? Yeah, well, I don't know.

I guess what I'm saying is, do you think he's catching rats? I think he's catching rats? You think he's catching rats? Or do you think he's seeing like big clumps of rats? Because I don't want to, I don't want to hear from a guy who's th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, 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, th, th th th th, 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, th, th, th, the th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th thi, that, thi, that's to that's what to to to to to thi to thi to thi thi that, that, that, that, that, th yeah and then acting like that counts as observing 400 rats yeah yeah I don't know let's want him to be honest with you know this guy's credential so I also want to know what he means by studying rats because I get living among them I get no I get the feel like the feeling this guy's like a real kind of like go on YouTube and learn about rat

facts kind of you know like and there's a lot of guy. You know like. See if the local library is about the Ukraine war as well, which you could. If he hasn't taken any time off and he's worked full-time weeks for the last seven years studying rats. He's got his 15,470 hours. Okay. Oh, there you go. Well, I mean even allowing for admin time. There's probably a lot of rat tallying. Rad admin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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 there. there. there. there. there's there's there. there. there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there. there. there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It. It. It's. It. It. It's. It. It. It. It's. 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 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 there you go. Well, I mean, even allowing for admin time, um, Tally, rat tally in. Radmin. Yeah.

And he may well be contemplating rats at night time as well when he's not actually on the clock. I bet the last thing that he thinks about. He kisses his wife, yeah. And then it's back to thinking about rats for 10 minutes before he falls asleep. You thinking about rats again? He kisses his wife and then she puts her sleep mask on and then he leans over and turns on his his rat sleep noise machine. I just can't go to sleep without the sound of little scurrying and squeaks. I need to hear the sounds of teeth chewing my my wiring in the walls. Yeah, part of the rat sleep machine is the speaker

that you can put in like between the sheet and the mattress so it sounds and feels like the rat is chewing through the mattress. I just can't get comfortable unless I feel like there's a rat chewing through my mattress. He told how clever rats will adapt their behavior, like waking up early in the day to find a good food source, making them very unpredictable. What? Damn, the early rat? That sounds predictable. Oh, the rats are waking up earlier now, so we know they'll be there early in the morning. Yeah. We'll just meet them there. Yeah. You know what? We'll head off the rats at the pass.

Maybe the rats are unpredictable if they get up early to find a good food source, but they can't find a good food source. And by 1130, they are cranky. Yeah. By 1130, they got low blood sugar. And they're liable to snap. You ever seen a rat crash? Mmm. It's no good. Oh, that was that thing in the 1800s where they would organize big rat crashes and

crash into each other. Public would go on the worst. The rat crash had crashed. That was the worst one. That was so much smarter in the 1800s. Like, how can we don't just like get two trains and smash them into each other anymore? Probably because of how many people died at the crash crush. Yeah. I guess we do have history to learn from. Yeah. Kieran said rats are used to detect mines in Cambodia. Yes he is. Yes I knew it. I knew it was this guy, I knew he was this guy all along.

Of like having that one rat that. I knew, I knew that this guy was gonna be on this shit. I need you to be more specific about what you were correct about. I can't tell, it's a general vibe. The foam surrounding this guy's character. He has studied and come to respect the general vibe of the foam surrounding this guy's he has studied and come to respect the rat. No he's he's a military ex-military man and he's using that he's bending that towards his rat study to create all sorts of bizarre but foundational beliefs that he holds are completely true due to his time in the military. And this is something that you had impegged as... From the moment one.

Yeah. Theo, do you think that this guy has eventually come to see the rats as like... Oh, a respected, like enemy? No, like, like a domestic Viet Cong. Like he's seeing them as the Viet Cong crossed with ISIS and they're everywhere all across England. And only he is paying attention and trying to do something about it. I don't think so. This guy's a bombardier. He never, he didn't see hand-to-hand combat. Yeah.

This guy, fighting back at the base, thinking about rats. Can't wait till I get back the the their their their their their their their their back at the base, thinking about rats. Can't wait until I get out of here and I can get back to my eyes. This guy creates his own weed strains. Oh. Huh. Yeah. I think he creates his own rat strays. He's got a lag.

How do you think they've been getting bigger every year? Yeah. Like... Like on the rat X-L. Rats these days are so much more powerful than ones my dad had in the 60s. Yeah, like, single rat will just knock you in. What part of a rat? Kill a boomer. Let me hit that rat one time. I don't know man. I don't know man.

I don't know if you were you put this rat? Everybody's got rats like this thrown? Everybody? You got this rat at the store? You can legally get a rat like this? Oh god, I'm so used to ditch rats. Oh, oh. You got any bush rat? This is... I'm so used bush rat? This is... I'm so used to get... I'm so used to just the rats that you would find... The rats you would find in a barn that had just been eating some organic wheat left over

from the harvest. That was enough. Yeah, he'd been breeding these super rats. Someone brings rats to the party back then? Crazy, strong Retivers? You are! No, the Puttivist the comedian of the week! No, that's not good enough.

It'll have to deny the people at every turn. No, no, I think we got it. Yeah, no, I agree with them. We have to make it matter than... If it doesn't tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thu thu thu thu, if it doesn't thu, if it doesn't thu, if it doesn't thu, if it doesn't thu, if it doesn't tha, if it doesn't tha, if it doesn't that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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 the the the th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, together, together, together, together, together, together, threaten, that, that, 't, if it doesn't matter to us, it doesn't matter at all. Yes. Yeah. Internal value system, correct. They're very smart animals. Say you've got two Easter eggs. All right, everyone, close your eyes. It's a thought experiment, yeah.

Say you've got two Easter eggs. Yeah, okay, my kids are yelling at me to have the eggs. Yep. One is cabries, and the other is lint. They'll go for the lint. Honestly, you'd have to see it to believe it. Yes. What discerning rats!

What is the claim that you are making is that they can identify better confectionery. By the same terms that we do. They have the same rubric for judging. Rats enjoy, look, nowadays, rats enjoy chocolate with a higher milk content, okay? Higher milk solids content. Oh, that's what they want. This is far more smoothly rolled. I could tell.

This is just nuts. Even the untrained eye can tell, and my eye is trained, but also a rat's eye. Well, look, there is another, there's a big, psychotic thing to say in this paragraph, right, which is, you'd have to to have to have to have to have to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see big psychotic thing to say in this in this paragraph, right, which is you'd have to see it to believe it, which strongly implies that he has given rat the choice. In my experiments in my shed on my allotment, I have discovered. Yeah, I take a lot of scientific principles into rat catching. I've administered the Easter egg test to over 50,000 rats. I put a $200 a kilo triple A grade Wagyu steak in front of a rat and the rat ate it. Yeah, they appreciate fine marbling.

That's crazy. Although I will say, um, I uh, so I'll be fair though, I will say. I will say, in all fairness, I asked the Discord a chocolate that's a step up from Cadbury, right? We want to go and buy some nice chocolate just to enjoy. I was going to give Caitlin some for for Mother's Day except she had a tummy ache so I didn't. We got it later, we bought a block of Whitakers and it's yum. It is better, you can taste the difference. You are the first person to buy Whitakers in like 20 years. Yeah, but they're still making it.

Yeah, that's crazy. You should have that. Tony's chockle only. I would. I don't know if they've got it in the... The regular store? In the regular store. Look, yeah, I think the cover was giving kids seizures. You know my issue with Tony's Chocalonelonely, Ben. The irregular-sized blocks that are impossible to deal with? Makes me so mad. Yeah, it's stupid. It does seem like the sort of chocolate that the joker would enjoy.

Because it's so wacky. Yeah, because of its bold colors. I'm trying to just eat an entire block of chocolate in my bed at night. Yes. And it makes so much more mess than grid style. Like you're breaking it up in its wacky pieces and because of the irregularity of it, sometimes you've got to use like five times more pressure per square inch to break off a piece of that chocolate than you do with a regular style chocolate.

You're going through the foil and the paper. Yeah, this is just so that Tony can have a chocolate that looks like it belongs in one of the dream bits from Psychonauts. There's a reasonidian chocolate. That's right. But pretty tasty. I had the Tony's chocolate only pretzel one. Oh, the pretzel one's my jam.

I think that is the best one. There's a, there's a Ben and Jerry's Tony's Chocolonely collab. Yeah, paid for by weed. Yeah. We pay. We decide. Kieran spoke about a particularly crafty rat, which kept targeting the same disused car to file down its teeth. Despite it being moved hundreds of meters each time. These are the most lying-ass stories

I've ever heard. I saw a rat sharpening its teeth on a car. Or maybe the rat was in the car when they moved it. Oh it's like inside man or inside job, whichever one that is, where he's like panacrub. Never seen it. Me either. That's just, I don't understand how this could have even come up. They were like, oh, I keep seeing these like weird tooth marks on one of the panels on my car.

Yeah, I've seen that before. Thousands of times, that's a rat. And that's a rat sharp these little teeth. That's just one rat and he'll come back. It's the same rat. This old car body looks like someone's used an angle grinder. Yeah, a novice might think that. Yeah. It's actually a 22 to 28 inch rat that's been sharpening its teeth. Science is showing that they go straight for the carburetor, the catalytic converter.

They'll just take anything with value off there. They know the difference if it's got platinum in it. Why would-Rodium? Rats can smell palladium. Why would the rat care about which car it's sharpening its teeth on? Which car is sharpening its teeth on cars? Why would the rats? Why would it travel to find the car again? Maybe?

Do rats? Are we imagining like sparks coming out as it's doing it, like it's on a grindstone? Rats need to sharpen their teeth regularly so they gnaw in a household area such as furniture walls and more seriously pipes. They sure do, which you would know if you'd ever known a person who, what would you call it, free lives with a rat? They have ratitude. The rat is in the house, but not in a smaller house for the rat.

Well this is just like a, it's a pet rat living freely or a rat with the rat with??? they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they, they, they're, they're, they they they they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, th. th. They, th. They, th. They, th. They, th. They thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, theeat, theat, thi theat, thi, they're they they they're they they they they they're they're in a smaller house for the rat. Well, this is just like a, it's a pet rat living freely or a rat with whom they've reached an agreement? A pet rat living freely. They will bite anything, including all of the soft buttons out of an Xbox 360 remote. Oh, that sounds like a very specific experience. Also, I bet that's what, uh, rats that are pulled over by the the rats the rats th, or the the the the th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or th, or that, or that, or that, or that, or the the that, or the the, or the, or the, or the, or the the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, or the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the the the that, the the that, that, the that, that, that, the that, the that, the the the the that, the the that, that, that sounds like a very specific experience. Also I bet that's what rats that are pulled over by the cops say. I'm not a person, I'm a pet rat living freely. You can't detain me. I'm a free rat living on the land.

Can you show me the fringe on your flags? So I made sure on it. I went out to the barbecue to cook some sausages. Classic barbecue move the other night. The last night even. And there was tiny little rodent shit all over the barbecue plate and the whole thing smelled like rodent piss. What do you think happened? We're gonna get Lance Corporal Kieran on the phone. Yeah. So it was cleaning.

So I heated up and put, you know, hot water on there. And as I'm kind of scrubbing this barbecue plate, I reached the realization that at this point I'm just boiling rat piss. You're aerosolizing rat ammonia. It's just like, and the smell continues. Yeah, yeah. Can't get rid of that rat piss smell now. I hope that doesn't happen when I go to use my barbecue today. I wish that for everyone listening to this show. May your barbecues... Rat piss free. We are manifesting that for you. I'm picturing a barbecue and there's no rat-piss or shit's on it at all.

He says the biggest infestation he's discovered was in a house plagued by 22 rats. It was a three-bedroom house in Batley and they ran across his feet when he entered. The guy loves telling stories. He is the Chris Kyle of Rats. I just, I don't know if I'm so, like I've been dealing with like sensationalized Hollywood narratives, what have you. 22 rats doesn't seem like that. No, it seems like a like a medium number of rats. That's not like an all-time a story. Like if you're coming at me with like, uh, holy fuck. This house is full of rats. That's not like an all-time a story. Like if you're coming at me with like, holy fuck this house is full of rats, I want to hear three digits minimum. But, but what if every one of the rats was the size of two Chihuahua's bodies? I think that would be beautiful. Wouldn't that be scarier if they were 16 of them? Yeah, that'd be like the part where in aliens she looks down the shaft and there's all those aliens coming up. Yep, yeah.

It'd be exactly like that. And they're a chihuahua-sized rats. That would be like- Like a smaller rat head inside their mouth. Yeah. That's what they have for now. Oh, that collectively the size of 44 Chihuahuas bodies! This guy 100% is telling his bullshit stories to his mates while smoking weird.

Yeah, you gotta tell the daily mail about this. People need to know about how big and bold rats have gotten. You said this is a retiva? Bold. He spoke about another job when a woman had removed her toilet but hadn't capped the hole off and rats were going back and forth from the sewer into the house freely. Yeah, now you got a rat hole. You got a rat toilet? You built yourself a rat portal. Why did you remove your toilet hole? You got a rat toilet hole? You built yourself a rat portal. Why did you remove your toilet and not replace it with another toilet? Wasn't using it.

We don't even have a toilet in our house. You never know how much you don't miss it until it's gone. Don't worry, you just take a shit in there. The rats will take care of it. Yeah, isn't, isn't, There's no wet down there? How are the rats getting up through the thing? Well, they can swim. It doesn't seem right. I don't think they're coming straight through where the water was. I think, you know, you take the to the toilet off and then their, their, their, the water, the the the the the the the the the the the the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the, the, the, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, their, their that, the water comes from your toilet down the sewer hole, right? Yeah, okay, but isn't it all wet down there eventually? Eventually, we're all wet down there. That's true. Yeah. That's why you got to make the most of the time that you have. Yeah. But the biggest infestation he came across was after a new farmer in Hull contacted him. A new farmer. This guy's fresh to farming?

Hey, new farmer here. First time farming, I gotta ask, what's up with all the rats? And I have no point of comparison. So as far as I know, they've all been this big. They've called this grizzled veteran out there to deal with a rookie farmer. Yep, this grizz-year-old literal veteran. He'd taken over a farm where a lot of corn had been left to rot by the previous owners.

He explained, there were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats, maybe thousands. Okay. You got to get better at storytelling. Just start at thousands. Okay? Yeah. If it's maybe thousands, just say thousands. Thousands. It's the fucking daily record. They don't care if it's true. They're not going to fact check. Yeah, don't start with hundreds. And then tell me, but hey, maybe it was even more than that. Can't say for sure. Maybe. No one's going to be calling up to try and like trace this farm and be like hundreds, thousands, hundreds, hundreds? You're giving me the hundreds face. Probably it's thousand. You sound like you don't grasp numbers so good. Yeah, maybe it was 30 rats. That's how exciting. It's why you only made it to Lance

Bombardier, you know? Yeah. Yes. Hey, how many are bombs would you say are over there? Oh, hundreds, maybe thousands? Do you think that's what... That's the job. That's the job. Look at all the bombs over there and tell me how many... Just a real natural bombardier should be able to look at some munitions. I can just know. Oh, should be able to guess to make. That man's got the gift. Yeah. Ooh, it's maybe thousands. Ooh, unfortunately, Kieran, there are six.

There are six bombs over there. Come into my office. We're going to have a little talk. After cleaning the area, they returned with their terriers a couple of weeks later and caught about 250 rats, as most of the population had moved away by that time. Kieran said, when you become a pest controller is completely different to hunting.

You've got to respect the animals. Now we know he respects them. You've got to respect the rats. The things that you are killing with dogs. But it's different. No, he doesn't hunt. He doesn't want to kill them. He attempts to control them. He wants to control to control to control the rats the rats to control the rats the rats the rats to control the rats the rats to control the rats the rats to control the rats the rats to control the rats to control the rats the rats to control the the the to control the to control control the the the the the the the the the the pest control control the the pest control control the the the pest control control control the the the the the the the pest control control control. 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 their their their their their their th. the. the. the thea. thea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. thea. theck't hunt. He doesn't want to kill them. He attempts to control them. He wants to control the rats. It's very different, but you do have to respect the animals.

You do have to try to become the animal. Yes. You have to spend a lot of time visual as the animal. Yes. Try to become one with them. You need to try to take up a place in their society. Yeah. You need to spend two to three hours every night gnawing on a Renault Cleo. Most importantly you need to earn their trust. Yeah. With rats, they're very intelligent things. There's a big difference between killing stuff and controlling stuff. Right, this is, this is like millimeters on the page away from the point where he brought in terriers and killed 250 rats on one day. That's different. No, didn't like doing it. No. I wasn't a hunt.

Oh, no. This's different. No, he didn't like doing it. No. I wasn't a hunt, that was a slaughter. Oh, oh no. This is awful. 223. But as a result of his work, he's had death threats and abuse targeting him and his four-year-old daughter. No, you haven't. What?

Are you talking about? Sir, as a rat catcher? Are the death threats coming from the rats? Yeah. The hyper-intelligent species of millions of super genetically enhanced modern-day rats? Yeah. Lance Bombadier, I'll kill you. Can't remember his name. It's Kieran Sampler. Kier and Sampler, I'll kill you. Maybe... In rat, my crap.

Maybe, I'm just going to throw something out here. Maybe this guy sees himself as kind of the blade the vampire hunter of the rats of England. You know? He's part rat? I think he feels that he is part rat or that he understands the nature of the rat better than civilians. And I think that he sees a world under the surface of the world that normal people think they know. Yeah, and an underworld even. He's the rat walker. He is the only one who understands and is keeping this nightmare army at bait.

Yes. And also he goes to rat nightclubs. Who are you getting threats from? Who are you getting threat from? For what? Hey. Who's trying to keep you quiet? What does your daughter have to do with this? For killing rats? It seems like people would be asking you to come and kill the rats. Lance Bombardier Sampler's daughter, I'll kill you.

I think he might be talking about like... I think he predicted getting death threats from an Australian podcast. I think he's talking about like PTA types, your pita types, right. Animal sort of people. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's why he's going to so much effort to let you know that he's not hunting them. He's not hunting them. He's trying to do pest control, not pest murder. Sure. That's right. Yeah He said do I want to kill every rat in the world? No, that's not my job. The aim is just to reduce the population so it's manageable. That's actually no one's job. Hmm. There's a kill every rat in the world. Yeah, no one is like there isn't like a secret role created by the Vatican where the pupe is like you must. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. the the the the the th. the th. th. the th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. t. te. te. te. try. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th in the world? Yeah, no one is like, there isn't like a secret role created by the Vatican

where the Pope is like, you must kill every rat in the world. Oh, the Vatican's rat hunter. Yeah, that's right. The ratican. Although, I feel like that order would be issued by maybe the catacon. Yeah, but they wouldn't want them all killed because cats love chasing rats. Well, yeah, but they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, thi, thiocke. thiom. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thu must, thu thu thu th is like th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi must, thi must, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, tho, th might be true, yeah. Oh no, but they wouldn't want them all killed because cats love chasing rats. Well, yeah, but why would the Radican order the elimination of all of themselves? Or they just call it the Radican because it's a very rat-focused Vatican. The Vatican has issued that order because an anti-Pope has been installed on the Radican.

Yeah. That's a secret society. And he's got a little hat. Yeah. He's got a little rat. It's quite big for a rat. Yeah. It's actually comically big for a rat.

Yeah. Very small compared to the Pope's hat. The hat is the size of a Chihuahua's body. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy.

Yes. A lot of times in farms and houses,

you just have to reduce the food source. You don't have to kill them. Yeah. 245. Two. Two. Two. 245. Do you? Are you tired of paying nothing for the same old superior quality free episodes of the Buntavista podcast?

It's time for Mr. Lucky Duck. Oh, he's Mr. Lucky Duck. That, he's Mr. Lucky Duck. That's one Lucky Duck.

Huh? Oh, you weren't around for that one, huh? Huh? There's this new segment we have called Mr. Lucky Duck, where it focuses on someone who's lucky. This is from KPNX in Arizona. The Penix. That's right. We're Arizona. The PENX! That's right. We're back.

The PENX rises again. We would probably do more news from KPNX 12 news in Arizona, more than any other source I reckon. I don't have the numbers to hand, but the beautiful people of Arizona keep providing. Absolute miracle. Best friends survive after car goes off 300 foot cliff. Oh, trying to do with that one where in Louise, huh? An accidental thelrown Louise with a happy head.

I love you. It was supposed to be a ride down a road, two best friends hadn't driven before. I mean, it still was. You and your best friend are trying to 100% driving down every road together. Tell me you haven't considered it. Imagine if you could 100% like Brisbane. Oh, I dream of 100% in Brisbane. Some of the, some of the, like, alleyways, the twists and turns.

I just need a best friend to do it with. Yeah.

Oh, fine. Fine. Yeah, no, no, no, no, it's just the one of the ones, you know. I don't know if they just give me a friendship, you know? It's just... I'm sorry, I'm down. I have a damn. I should have a longer cut of that.

It's shorter than I remember, actually. It ended up being a trip down a 300-foot cliff, according to firefighters. It's a longer cut of that. It ended up being a trip down a 300-foot cliff, according to firefighters. You should do a longer cut of that. It's shorter than I remember, actually. It ended up being a trip down a 300-foot cliff, according to firefighters. Both Braden Falk in the driver's seat of a sedan and Joe Napoli-Morales in the passenger seat live to share their story. Well, you get into a car getting driven by a guy called Braden? It's kind of your fault. You're taking a life with your own hands, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You're taking a life with your own hands, yeah. Hey, uh, my name is Joe Napoli Morales. Yeah, and here's what he might sound like. Fuck it out. I get my lasagna at... Causeman and Gomez. At the bodega. Falk and Napoli Morales were driving Monday night after stopping in Tortier Flats and taking pictures of Foulke's car. What kind of car is it?

Dope. They don't say it. Say a sedan. What sort of sedan you got that's fucking sick enough to get out? Have they got like a like a year 2000 Toyota SORA? Oh wait no they do say sort of what the car is later but I'll let that be a surprise. Yeah this just sounds like two dudes having like the best fucking time driving around try to find new roads.

Yeah, we'll do a funny one. I'll pop my shirt off for make you feel more comfortable.

Oh, you got a little schmutz on your face there. Let me just that off. The world should know. The world should know. Yeah. I know you haven't been talking about it, but I've noticed. You look great, bro. I'm more confident. The friends say they then continued down the road. Quote, the last I remember like we were just kind of cruising, like taking it easy, Napoli Morales said. So much detail in this story. So much color.

The world is so vibrant. The world. . The world is so vibrant. This is beautiful, too guys, be like, oh, we're just driving. Yeah, they were driving on a road before they fell off the road. Yeah. Quote, there was an animal in my lane, kind of running in the same direction I was driving. So I was like, well, we're not going super fast. So slow down a little bit, try to go around it. My side of the car caught, caught something, Fork said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falk said, Falked, Falked, Falk something, Falk said, sent them off the side. I'm just going to throw it out there. I think that maybe Braden was getting sucked off when the car went off the side of the road. I mean, there's no need to. I don't think we were... No, I'm saying, two friends. Why do we have to sexualize every form of chemistry there is?

Can't two people just be invigorated by each other's company? Just be a vibrating and it doesn't have to be like a, you know, sometimes the movie can end with them just being friends? It can, but also like, you know, a rabbit, in the same direction as you, not a rabbit, an animal. Some kind of, I don't even know what kind of animal it was. I don't even know what kind of animal it was. I guess there was an animal that was kind of running in the same direction as me. Hard to tell.

With your eyes closed in ecstasy. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Quote, the fall felt forever. Just because it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was like it was like the fall the fall the fall the fall, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the fall, the fall, the fall tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi.

One of the worst roller coasters you can go on, honestly, is the one where the carriage that you are in comes completely detached. Yeah, the devil's roller coaster. And you're riding it all the way to hell. Visit a 962 says,

Falling down a cliff looks too intense for me. In a post about crew's response to the scene, superstition firefighters said the pair went over a 300 foot cliff. It's a place. Superstition fire. Superstition is a place, not superstition firefighters. The firefighters are from superstition Arizona. They're from superstition firefighters. Yeah. They won't go under each other's ladders.

You are! You are! We kind of look at each other and we're both just like, bro, like, are you okay? Oh, that's beautiful. I fucking love these dudes. That's beautiful. Just two hymboes. Two beautiful hymboes who fell like a hundred meters? Four the things, like a hundred meters.

Yeah, what is that like a hundred meters? That's fucking crazy. That is a crazy distance to fall and survive. And they're both just like, bro, did you, bro, we just like fell off a cliff dude. Bro, are you okay, bro? Dude, I'm like fine. Dude, I'm like fine. 106.6.8 meters.

I was so fucking close. You were so close.. Fork said the pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the pair. the the the the the the the the the 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. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that. that. that. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's. that. that's. that so close. It was really good. Very proud of you. Falk said the pair got out of the car and he was able to get back up to the top and Napoli Morales stayed at the bottom due to his injuries. You fell off a 100 meter cliff and then walked up to the top of the cliff. Yeah. You are the strongest Hymbo on God's green earth. You could have lifted the car. He might be like the unbreakable guy? He might be the unbreakable guy. You're an Arizona's unbreakable guy. Superstitioner, unbreakable man.

Yeah. Several crews responded to the scene to help in the incident, including crews repelling down to Napoli Muralis. Eventually a department of public safety helicopter came in their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. their, th. th. their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoom-a, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Quote, I can't thank them enough. Like they, every single one of them was absolutely amazing, Napoli-Morales said. Falk City had no injuries, but Napoli thrown, collarbone shoulder blade and a torn ligament in his knee. Quote, I'm here because of a seat belt and because of a Subaru and because of whatever

guarded angels we have looking above us. Yes. Yes. What are you reckon he had? Was it a outback? Was it a sedan? He is 100% driving. He's 100% driving.

Can't be a liberty. That's not a brus car to drive? So he must must have the th, he, he, he, he, 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, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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..

And, th's not a brose car to drive so he must have been driving the he must have been driving a wrecks surely it could have been an imprese could have been an Rx impreza yeah that's what that's the base that they built the wrecks on yeah I want to see if I can find a a shot of the car it's black yeah tel you that much wait no what what the fuck what the car, it's black. I'll tell you that much. Wait, no, what? What the fuck? What? Oh my god, no, this is from 10 years earlier.

Uh, so in 2014, a guy survived after driving his Nissan Sentra on State Route 88 at Tortier Flat and then going over a 300-foot cliff. There's something special about this cliff. Hey, uh... You can just drive off it and you're fine. You remembered to put a guardrail up after the last guy fell off the cliff, right? Ah, that was me, huh? What the fuck? This is nuts.

So the last time it was a 22-year-old dude who swerved off the fuck? This is nuts. So the last time it was a 22 year old dude who swerved off the road and then two days later he crawled out of the canyon still alive. Oh my god. It's the canyon that makes you immortal. It's the cliff that makes you not dead. Holy fuck that is fucking nuts. Yeah, you live off this cliff you cannot die. Fucking let us know if you live anywhere near this. Just try sort of you know. God damn it. I'm just trying to find a photo of what this car is. I keep finding more and more intriguing headlines. Touching the void again. Mountaineer who cut friend's rope survives 300 foot fall. Okay, I need to look into that.

Uh, quite, so now I have to find a new one, because I think I killed my last one. He's either referring to his Subaru or his guardian angel. Huh. Yeah, because your guardian angel takes the fall for you. Yes. I think, angel. Huh. Uh-huh. Might have landed on it. It takes the fall for you. Yes. I think, yeah. Yeah. Every, every time you don't die from a near-death experience,

God murks an angel. That's right. Napoli Morales said the pair is finding humor, recognizing how lucky they both are to have survived the fall. Quite absolute miracle, Napoli Morales said. Even that's an understatement. Yeah. Yeah.

Congratulations, Bros. Yeah. We are legitimately happy for you. Yeah, that's fucking amazing. You guys seem great. Yeah. Continue the bromance. Without blessing.
