Welcome to Bundabistivista, episode 358.
I'm Andrew, it's 2003 and I'm here in the production offices of Columbia Pictures.
We're having a meeting where we're green lighting a remake of bewitched the 1964 comedy
sitcom about a guy who marries a witch.
On my left sits Ben, a junior vice president of development here at Columbia, and he was
just explaining to us why it's a good idea to make the remake about a movie star filming
a film remake of the TV show Bewitched, who completely accidentally and by coincidence
casts a real witch in the metatextual remake of Bewitch that is happening inside the remake
of Bewitch that we're producing.
Go ahead and explain why that's a good idea, Ben.
I think it will help orient the viewer because they know that it already exists, so it would be confusing for them to enter into a cinematic world where it doesn't already exist so that a new one can happen, that they'd be completely confused. So we need to do something really straightforward,
like have it be both a remake and also about a remake.
I think they would just make it clearer for everyone.
Yeah, so you think it would better ground your average viewer to see the kind of behind
the scenes of a movie being made.
Yes, and for some reason I as a movie executive
love when movies are about the process of making movies.
Oh my god, yes.
Yes. Well, it's a love letter to Hollywood.
It's a love letter to Hollywood in a way.
This was a Will Farrell joint, right?
Well, funny that you mentioned him because on my right
sits the star of the show, the man who 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 tho to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the star of the show, the man who will headline the film and play actor Jack Wyatt and
also the character Darren Stevens from the remake of Bewitched inside the
remake of Bewich that we're making, it's beloved funny man Will Farrell
who today keeps being asked to get called Lucy. It's Lucy. Hey, go on Lucy.
Give us your famous impersonation of George W. Bush.
So I'm embodying Will Farrell doing an impression of George W. Bush.
Well, like that was one of your very famous impersonations from your run on Saturday
Night Live, of course, which you'd remember having, having done all those episodes
of Saturday Night Live.
Sorry, I'm just a little slow on this because I haven't seen the movie that we're making.. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, so thi, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so I's, so I's, so I'm, so I'm, so I'm, so I'm, so, so, so I th, so th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thii, thii, thii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thii, so I'm thi, so I'm thi,, I'm just a little slow on this because I haven't seen the movie that we're making.
Well, we haven't made it yet.
We haven't made it. Of course, I haven't seen it.
So I don't think anyone saw it in fairness.
I'm just trying to process everything that you just said about the movie that we're making.
I also haven't got a George W. Bush impression. Just haven't got one on hand. I might have to come back to that one. I'll take that one. I'll notice. Retired that one probably. Yeah, probably.
Nicole Kidman. Directed and written by Nora Ephron. Yep. Really? You've got to be shit in me.
Shirley McLean's in it.
It's kind of universally pant, right? This movie that we're making. It's one of those films that I've definitely seen, and the only thing I could tell you
about it is that it has Will Farrell and Nicole Kidman in it and that they're remaking bewitched
in the movie.
That's like the only information that my brain thought was worth storing.
It's got a hell of a cast. Like Michael Kane, Jason Schwartzman, S S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. then. S. then. then. then. thine. thine. thought was worth storing. It's got a hell of a cast.
Yeah, wow.
Michael Kane, Jason Schwartzman, Shirley McLean, Stephen Colbert.
Jason Schwartzman?
They got Schwartzman?
They got Schwartzman for this?
Ed McMahon, Conan O'Brien, James Lipton,
come on Richard Kind.
Yeah, I'm excited to make a movie that the New York Times will eventually call, quote,
an unmitigated disaster.
That's a damn.
I'd love if someone said that about my movie.
Just something, it's been a while working on.
People just don't really get when the movie's about making a movie.
They kind of don't get it when it's like a love letter to Hollywood.
That's right, that's right. And one day, Rotten Tomatoes will summarize this film by saying,
Bewitched is haunted by scattered laughs and a lack of direction.
Oh, this is nice.
It got the classic Margaret and David three and a half stars, which means, definitely.
One of them gave it five and one of them gave it two.
Margaret went, you know what, David, I'm going to give it five stars.
And David goes, oh, well I think that's very foolish, I'm giving it too.
I think that's fucking stupid. It was a piece of garbage. I fucking hated it so much.
And Margaret goes, you're wrong, David. Your subjective opinion is wrong.
Personally, I felt nauseated by the entire picture. Oh, you're such a stuffy old cunt. Let's move on to another movie.
However, both of them, we know that they fuck, get that they fuck, we get the Margaret
and David fuck.
And if you guys...
That's why it's kind of okay to be so rude.
Yeah, because they have such a, the trust that's implicit. The physical, the physical intimacy let them have that physical intimacy, the the the physical, they let's the physical intimacy, they let's the physical intimacy, they let's the physical intimacy, they let the, the, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they they they're thi, they thi, they're they're they're they're f. they're, they're, they're they're they're f. they're, they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. they f. thi, thi, thi. thi. the f. the f. thi. the f-foggo. their thi. thi. their thi. thi. their thi. they f-fogg. they f. they f. they f they emotional intimacy, because there's a claw there, that the fucking is so good
that they could never disagree so much that it would ruin what they have.
And sometimes the disagreement really spices up the sex later.
Yeah.
You ever unbuttoned a shirt angrily?
Oh, sometimes you've spent like 40 minutes yelling at your soulmate about a Harmony Karne movie and then the two of you just
fucking go at it, Hammer and Tongues.
If you're not Australian and you're not familiar with beautiful critics, Margaret Pomerans
and David Stratton. Imagine if Siskel and Ebert were a man and a woman and they fucked.
You got it. Also it's what Tim Hyidecker's at the Movies is based on.
Really?
On cinema, that's what that's called, isn't it?
Yeah, on cinema at the cinema.
At the movies with Margaret and David.
That's where Australians came to understand films.
None of your Chicago-based critics.
That's probably a pretty fraught emotional relationship between Margaret and David, and I bet they might have some questions for our resident romance in relationships expert
Dr. Lucy. It's time for paging Dr. Lucy. Relationship trouble. Just to pick up your telephone and dial it on the double.
You call one eight hundred, three one, seven, five one, five, five, now your pageant
and darkened and say.
This comes to us from our sash-swingers.
Parties similar to the movie Eyes Wide Shut?
Hey, anyone got a publicly postable address for a secret party?
Yes, I know that's a movie.
Scripted, make-believe, fantasy, and not real life, lull.
But there's got to be parties out there like that.
Beautiful mansion, beautiful people, at least semi-up scale, etc.
Where can one find parties like that in real life?
This is a swinger fantasy.
Like this is what you think, like, oh, we'll be swingers, and there's been always
like really sexy couples, like beautiful, like interesting and...
Like wealthy, really glamorous.
Glamorous, yeah. Hot wife and husband, you know, we're both getting something out of this.
Which almost never happens.
Yeah, I don't think that's the reality.
I think that there are definitely high-level Hollywood sex parties going on.
No doubt.
The people in our slash Swingers are never
setting foot anywhere near any. No, they're literally just going on in Hollywood.
They're at the party, they're at the party from it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
Yeah. Orgy. Yeah. They're at that. And like I don't want people to feel that we're ragging on these people constantly. You know what, you're going to enter the Swinger's community and you're going to have a lot of
group sex that you're going to really enjoy and I'm very happy for you.
It's going to be great, but it's going to be more of a, I've also bought a pasta bake
with me type, like, group sex. It's not going to be like going to be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, group sex, group, group sex, group, group, group, group, group, group, group, and then like the most beautiful people, like
Olympic athletes aren't going to be at your swingers party.
At your swingers party, yeah.
Yeah, Formula One drivers, billionaires, artists, they're not.
Lean on messy, etc.
You've got like HVAC technicians, or at your swingers, which is great.
You've got software engineers.
Yeah, a lot.
Like a lot, probably significantly, yeah, high number.
Which is still great, you know, you still, you still get what you want.
Oh, look, that software engineer's fucking my wife.
I'm fucking a software engineer.
I'm touching another software engineer while all this is happening.
We're all fucking a software engineer while all this is happening. We're all fucking a software engineer. Hell, I am one.
I am one.
Everyone in the room is a software engineer.
Look to your left, look to your eye.
If you don't see a software engineer,
you are the software engineer.
I just, I don't want this poor person to sort of get their hopes up
that they're like gonna get an invite, like a scroll will arrive at their house with just the word enigma
written on it and then you know they get to go. You got to figure out where it is. Yeah.
Secret doors, things of that nature. Do some national treasure type shit to figure out where it is.
Also you know I was watched that they weren't just having a sex party that's kind of that. Yeah, like they were kind of thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to kind of to kind of thi. thi. to kind of thi. thi. to kind of thi. to to to to to to to to thi. they're kind to they're kind they're kind they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they weren't kind they weren't kind they weren't kind to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to figure thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. they're they're they're they're they're kind they're kind they're kind of they're kind of th plot. Like they would do another stuff. It's a bit, it's a bit kind of like,
hey, does anybody know how to get tickets
to the Epstein plane?
Yeah.
You know, it's a little like,
anybody know about an island like the Epstein Island
that I could go to?
Oh, yes.
Don't clip that, by the way.
I don't think you that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that're gonna find out like these sorts of things aren't
getting handed out on Reddit. No 100% no one's gonna be like oh yeah I'll just
send me a message I'll invite you to the eyes wide shut party next week. I just
thought of a great scam you go on there and you say hey I'm minting unique tickets
to an eyes wide shot party. Get on here, put money into my Bitcoin wallet,
and I'll send you the password to the sex party.
Yes.
Rugpool.
The password is scapula.
If anything, I think of all the social media networks, the one most likely to be circulating the eyes wide shut
party, LinkedIn. Yeah, 100%. Because there's going to be like a bunch of low-level tech millionaires
who are still on LinkedIn who haven't been invited to like the Secret Celebrab-only Social
Network. Set up my own Secret Sex Party.
Do you guys remember?
I'm pretty sure, did someone make a ceilib only dating app?
Yeah, that sounds familiar.
That seems like that would have been hard to police.
Yeah.
You know which part of this Reddit post is really sticking out to me, requires further investigation.
I would love to know exactly what this person means when they say at least
semi-up scale. Yeah, what do you mean by that? What is semi-up scale to you like, like an orgy at the Hyatt?
Maybe you're just meeting in the Hyatt lobby? Yeah. And there's kind of like a nice room, but it's like no one owns it, like it's not their house. You've booked out the convention room at the Radisson so that's probably kind kind kind kind kind kind kind. It's their. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's their. It's th. their. th. their. th. their. th. th. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. their. their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, their. Yeah. It's, their. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's kind. It's like, their. It's kind. It's kind. It's kind. It's kind. It's kind. It's kind. It's kind the the the the the the the the the the the the their house. You've booked out the convention room at the Radisson, so that's probably going to like...
You know, it's nice, they got free coffee, so.
Yeah, somebody's playing like, um, like, somebody's playing hotel lobby piano jazz on a
JVL Bluetooth speaker in the room that you're fucking in. Oh my god, someone's playing, I don't know if you remember these, but they were those lounge jazz albums that were covers
of like specific songs from decades.
It was like jazz and 90s, jazz and 80s.
They're playing that.
There's the lounge jazz cover of Black Hole Sun playing while you're like getting
fucking destroyed by a software engineer and then destroying a software engineer.
Getting there.
Semi upscale. Just dream bigger.
What is semi upscale?
I want something that's almost upscale.
Do you, do you reckon this post is by the-
You want a fucking a McMansion?
Is that what you're after?
Really?
I think this, you reckon this is someone who like, has already done a bunch of swinger stuff
and is kind of desperate for something a little better.
I feel like this could be better. Yeah, totally. This is what they expected when they started
but then they went to a few swingers parties and they were not that. Yeah, because they didn't expect
pasta back software engineer if they are expecting silk, silk nightgowns, like the expensive honeybirdet stuff. Exactly. They got honey birdette on the ladies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're. Yeah. They're. They're. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I this. I this. I this. I this. I this. I this. I feel like this this this this this. I feel like this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th. I feel like th. I feel like th. I feel like th. I feel like the like thi the like thi thi thi thi thi this could like this could like this could like the expensive honeyburdette stuff.
Exactly, they got honeyburdette on the ladies.
Yeah, instead of like, Kmart essentials.
Yeah, Enco.
You know what, I didn't realize this was going to be an Anco sex party.
I thought it was going to be a Honeyburdet sex party.
So I'm actually, I'm just going to go get changed intozen things, Christmas gift voucher from a husband, sex party.
That's okay, I'd take that maybe.
Didn't realize, ANCO.
Hey, I bet a lot of people going to these Anco sex parties, pasta bake, software engineers, probably Gen X.
And we check out what's happening with Gen X in Jet X Watch.
I've got a post here from the subreddit R slash Gen X, which we've sort of looked at before.
That's where Gen X is post about the experience of being Gen X.
the the sub-reddit R, slash Gen X.
That's where Gen X is post about the experience of being Gen X, which we've sort of looked at before. It's where Gen X is post about the experience of being Gen X.
Gen X, of course, the forgotten generation
between us millennials and boomers.
You know, no one talks about them.
No one talks about them and they need you to know
that they drank from the hose.
Yeah. You guys are drinking from the hose.
I think another really interesting defining trait that sets that's that's that's that's that's the that's the that's th.. th. It's th. It's the th. It's the the the the the the the the gen X. It's the the their their their their their gen. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. gen. gen. gen. gen. gen. It's. It's. gen. gen X. gen X. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. drinking from the hose. I think another really interesting defining trait that sets Gen X, apart from Millennials
and the boomers, is they just kind of, they just kind of like whatever.
They like just didn't give a F about any of that sort of stuff.
They kind of don't care about anything.
They kind of hated your rules. They were sort of rugged individualists, you know, they were sort of rude.
They kind of, TV got rude around that time
and they were raised on TV, so you know.
Yeah.
And one of the ways they expressed that was t-shirts.
So the post here is,
what was that t-shirt that caused you to get in trouble at school. I'm sure most of us at some point have worn t-shirts that have caused us to get in
trouble at school.
That's the body of the post.
Now, it couldn't really happen in Australia on account of we have, we have school uniforms
over here, but in America, you kind of get to let your freak flag fly.
Yeah. By wearing like a cool, weird t-shirt or whatever, you know, wearing jeans and cool shoes,
you sort of get to express yourself. And some of these people push the boundaries a little
too far. Here's one to start you off. This is the entire text of the person's reply.
I'm Bart Simpson Simpson. Who the hell are you?
I'm more th-Irack. I reckon you need one of the bootleg Simpsons. I am Bart Simpson and I'm.. to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get told, told, told, th, th, th, the the the the the the the the the thi, the their thi. the. to to theateat-s, to to to the to to to to to to to to to to their to the reckon you need one of the you need one of the bootleg Simpsons

Worth it.
Here's another one.
I got in trouble for wearing my I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you shirt?
Oh, God.
Formative memories for all of these people.
Yeah. Spanish teacher saw it, yelled at me. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoing. th. thoed. thoed. thoed. th. thoed Spanish teacher saw it yelled at me.
I asked what was wrong with the shirt,
and he told me the word hell was on it.
Yep.
He sent me to put on my gym shirt.
Instead, I taped over the word hell,
wrote heck on it and put the shirt back on.
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't. this happen. I don't think any of you got in trouble you fantasized that you were going to get in trouble. A hundred percent. And like a group of cool girls would see you get in
trouble. And you just turn around, you look at the teacher and you go, whatever. And then
you walk out. I don't give a rat's heck. Yeah. I don't give a f about your sister
man. Whatever. I'm gonna go watch TV for eight hours.
Yeah, I'm gonna change the channels a lot.
Ah, man, that teacher was pierced when he saw me later in the day with the shirt on again.
Oh.
I told him I corrected what he said was the problem with the shirt.
I got said to the principal's office.
The principal laughed at my malicious
compliance. Yeah? Did he? He respected how much of like a free spirit you are. Yeah, he actually
thought it was sick. He loved the Simpsons. Technically I'm not allowed to say this because
I'm like your principal, but I'm also kind of whatever myself and like I love what you're doing, I respect it. Don't let him get you down. Yeah, eat my shorts. Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, their, their, did, did, their, their, their. Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their. Yeah, their, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, I respect it. Don't let him get you down.
Yeah, eat my shorts.
Yeah, hey, hey, between you and me, eat my shorts, brother.
You know, you're actually very mature for your edge.
Oh, no.
I didn't get in trouble.
I was told, however, that shirt could not be worn again or I would be in trouble.
Okay, so this is a story about how you didn't get in trouble then?
I'm sorry about the idea of trouble, really. Yeah. Hey kid, consider the concept of getting in trouble.
My shirt had two camels kissing that shirt. I had to wear it inside out for the rest of the day. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. I. I. I. That. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. That is. I. I.

What if the camels were fucking on the shirt?
Yeah.
Do you think that's more of a...
Pop that shirt off?
Pop that shirt off?
Pop that shirt off?
Oh you can't wear that.
You can take that off.
Take that off.
You definitely can't wear that.
You want an ice cold Coca-Cola?
I got a little mini bar fridge back here.
Not sure that you can't wear those.
Not sure that you can't wear those.
Those shorts are probably out of line too.
Hey, this podcast has taken include the list, but someone did said they got in trouble for the,
the Mambo dog-fighting shirt.
Awesome.
Here's another one.
A vampire sucking on a wrist that said,
love sucks.
That's really good.
Again, I'm gonna have to assume that that is a teacher going, like brandishing their Bible of the student. Yeah.
Cannot depict witchcraft, the evils of Satan upon your shirt.
Another one here, it says, Jesus is coming with a side shot of a man with a half-lob.
Oh.
A half-what?
A half-lob?
Like his penis?
Like a chub?
How do you know from the shirt that it was half? You don't know what it's like when it's full? You don't know if it was full or not?
I don't know about lob? Half lob?
Whoops. Like a lobster? I'm googling a half lob and I'm seeing haircuts. Yeah. Currently it seems to, to me it seems to mainly be used as a portmanteau for a long bob. Oh! Long bob, lob. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. the the to be. 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. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the their.

Oh long bob, lob yeah. Interesting. I'm familiar
with the terminology of half-lob. It also seems to be relevant in some kind of
European sport where you throw balls. Yeah I guess lobbying it would make sense in that.
You can lob a ball. Lob. The condition of a penis before it becomes fully erect.
Okay. So we're talking about a half a bone.
You had semi-erect Jesus on your shirt.
Yeah, and Jesus is calming.
Imagine if you had a shirt that said, I pooed.
Yeah, and a silhouette of a guy on a toilet.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah, I just, in the interest of fairness, a. Sarcasm is one of the many services I offer, type shit.
Stuff like that.
My older brother, who would be Gen X, came to Christmas one Christmas wearing a shirt that
just said, ask the other vagina.
So, Christmas.
And he also, um, you know what, don't worry about it. Uh, the half-lob man continues, didn't last too long without being threatened with
a rest for blasphemy.
Hmm.
What does that mean?
I don't think you, well maybe.
They got cops in schools over there, so maybe it was threatened with a rest.
I never know.
He's another one.
A shirt with the phrase, hey, Saddam,this scuds for you with a giant middle finger.
Cool.
Yeah, I'm going to launch a missile at you, Saddam Hussein.
We'll destroy ISIS.
Hey Isis, suck on these, big pair of nuts on the shirt.
It's so crazy to think about like, you know, I just I just can't really remember
anything in my youth of being around a similar, a similar age to some of these people.
I don't really remember kids at school wearing like just slogans of blood lust.
Yeah, like, anything with a shirt about which political figure I would
like to see killed. No, it's just like Eric Cartman that said respect my authorito. Yeah, and that's
funny. Yeah, it's funny. It's very funny for your like anti-authoritarian thing to be like
exactly the US's foreign policy line. Yeah, no one's on the other side of this issue. You don't to wear your Fuxed Saddam Hussein shirt. Yeah, yeah, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's like, it's the, it, it's the, it's the, it's th, it's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's th. It's th. It's th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's the, it's just just just just the th. It's just just like, it's just like, it's just just like, it's just just like, it's just like, it's just like, it's just like, it's just like, it's just like, it's just like, it's's on the other side of this issue. You don't have to wear your fuck Saddam Hussein shirt.
Yeah, like all of America is ready to kill as many Middle Eastern people as they want.
Like you don't have to like get in on that.
Hey by the way, not a fan of Saddam Hussein.
I got another one here.
One that's spelled out fuck whenever I sat down. So I guess the the th a that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's that's. that's that's that's. that's that's that's the the the the 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 thoomoomoomorrow. thoomorrow. tho. thoo. thoo. thoo. that's. that's all. that's. th. So I guess there's probably something tricky with the lines or something like a mad magazine folding?
Like a madman. Another one here? Coed naked volleyball on the floor is where you score.
I can't understand them not wanting kids with shirts about
sexual shirts.
Yeah, Coed Naked was like a brand right?
Oh right. Yeah, Coed naked clothing. They're still going
apparently. Oh, there's been a reboot. Oh, oh my god. I've just found the greatest shirt of all time.
Really? Oh, I need to buy this so bad.
It is.
So there's a picture of an American flag sort of forming a cross
with what appears to be an AR 15 and then a sort of World War II style American army helmet.
And the text on it reads, co-ed naked veteran.
Thank you for your service.
Naked co-ed veteran.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
You can't mix those things?
You kind of have to be the co-ed naked brand, not also like the flags?
Yeah, that seems really disrespectful.
Oh, I'm absolutely buying one of these.
Yeah, that sounds amazing.
For sure, fuck, they have so many.
Co-ed-naked lacrosse, co-ed-naked pickleball.
Coat-naked naked.
Co-ed-naked, cornhole.
The whole is the goal. Oh, that's a th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n, th-nate-nate-nate-n-nake-nate-nate-nate-nate-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nate-nate-nate-nate-nate-nate-nate-nate-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, th-n. th-n, th-n, th-n, th-n. th-n. Oh, th-n. Oh, th-s. Oh, th-s. Oh, th-s. Oh, th-s. Oh, th-s. Oh, th talked about getting in trouble for this exact shirt in like the 80s.
Coad naked firefighting, find him hot, leave them wet.
Coed naked plumbing?
Coed naked electric electrician. We'll check your shorts.
Okay, so I'm just, I'm just checking out the page on coednakednaked.com, the coed naked story.
Hey guys want to know the background of this proud American business?
When I was a fifth year senior at the University of New Hampshire, I had no idea what the world
had in store for me.
But had you told me that I would start a small business with a college friend on a shoestring and a prayer, and that the business would own the trademark for Coed Naked, and Coed Naked would become arguably
the greatest selling and most recognized t-shirt in the country and to a generation of people,
I would have been all in.
And that's exactly what happened.
Oh, cool.
Coed, I would have said, how do you know all that?
Coed Naked became part of the culture in America in the 1990s, donning classic
catchphrases from the original lacrosse design, rough, tough and in the buff to find them hot
and leave them wet on ultimately the highest volume seller, firefighting.
Yeah, I'm seeing all these variations.
There's lots of coed naked carpentry. If it looks good, nail it. What about coed naked banking?
Penalty for early withdrawal. I think they may be casting slightly two. Coed naked gambling?
Doesn't make any fucking sense. What's the joke on that one though? Great.
Oh you want the text? Lay him on the table. Okay, you're nuts? I'm choosing to
believe that that's old titties. Oh what about this one? Co-ed-naked naked EMS, like emergency
medical services, will get your blood flowing. Are you meant to
have the job when you buy the shirt for? Cohen naked lawyers? Good ones get you
off easy. Yeah. The shirts were celebrated at a Rose Garden ceremony at the
White House with Bill Clinton. What? What? They made Hollywood debut
on television shows including Roseanne, the Don House with Bill Clinton. What? What? They made Hollywood debuts on television shows,
including Roseanne, the Donahue Show, Portlandia,
and most recently, Yellow Jackets.
Oh my God.
They were constantly in the press,
making hundreds of appearances on radio.
Little pause there.
Little pause there.
Not sure how much people are getting from the shirts on radio. I mean, we're reading it out out out out out out out out out the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show the show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their show. their show. th. their show. their show. their. their from the shirts on radio.
I mean, we're reading out the shirts on a podcast.
We're reading it out on the podcast.
Look, are they all newspapers and magazines?
And finally, they became infamous, the enemy of the public schools as they were banned in schools throughout the US.
Yeah, fair.
Early in the new millennium, when Coet Naked was tired,
my company decided to let the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand the brand ired, my company decided to let the brand rest, like Godzilla,
you know, going back into the ocean, lying down till we need them again. It was a difficult
decision, but it was the right thing to do. We knew that sometime in the future there would
be signs from a new generation that would dig out the old designs and start asking for their return. That time is now! Do you guys want to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know something something something something something something something something something something something to know to know something to know something to know something to know something to know something to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho.

Do you guys want to know something else they sell?
For $24 you can buy the co-ed naked truth and the triumph and pitfalls of owning a small business,
a book by Mark Lane.
Jesus.
Good honor.
Very cool.
This is dope.
I'm buying that veteran shirt for sure.
Yeah, that's actually really cool. Oh, the pickleball slogan's not bad either.
It's big and it's getting bigger.
Right. That's pretty good, actually, that's nice.
Yeah.
These are just so specific. Imagine like, oh, they've got a brewing one.
I should get one of those.
You should make everyone wear it.
Yeah, make it mandatory to wear it work.
Um, coer naked soccer, no hands more head.
It's about sex.
That's about fucking.
No, the Gen Z's aren't wearing these, right?
No, because they hate that shit.
They hate it. Oh, I'm just even thinking about it, erect penis makes me sick. Yeah, Royston.
Ooh, I can't watch a sex scene in the movie.
You can't stand a minute of kissing.
Oh, what's wrong with you?
Yeah, get him.
Coet, naked drinking?
That's just too vague.
Bottoms up.
I got another one here.
You'll remember that Smiley had been shot in the forehead,
that one.
Cool man.
Yeah.
Cool.
Oh, am I in trouble, sir?
Oh, is this legal?
My shirt a little too much for you?
Got another one here.
Vintage 19 Smylehead Shot shirt, only only 409 Australian dollars. Oh fuck I
bet it looks cool as hell though. Here's the thing not really. Oh like it's
it's not it's not what I would imagine you know that kind of show if you told me
ooh a cool shirt of a smiley face that has been shot in the head
I'd imagine something cool and then I'll see the thing and I'll go, eh.
Okay, but are you looking at the one where the back of the shirt has an exit wound?
Oh, I didn't see the exit.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
That's two picks.
Second one, yeah, just the exploded middle of the headband. It looks like a very distressed anus, yeah.
I guess what's meant to be happening is that you're seeing the entry wound from the front
of the head and then the great big gaping exit wound at the back of the smile face.
That's edgy.
But he's still smiling, you know, you can't break his spirit. He's still smiling. That's really beautiful. That's that. That's th. That's thing. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th.

I do vaguely remember there being some drama with the FCUK brand.
Yeah, that was considered pretty...
Yeah, you couldn't wear that on.
Hey, you can't wear that. Oh, it says for a cock.
Okay.
All right. Get on you.
You got me. You got me. Yeah. One final one here. Old skate magazine called Big Brother. I was so happy to get their shirt.
It read crap in big bold letters in the front.
I actually think that's a really sick shirt to wear. If I saw a guy wearing a shirt that just said crap, I'd have a little laugh. That's so good. That's like a sure that you'd see like a Korean tourist their their their tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist th tourist th tourist to to to to tho thoom tourist to to thoom-a tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a. thi. thi. tho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi-a-a-a-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. tho'-s. tog-s. tho'-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-a-s thi-a-s. thi- guy wearing a shirt that just said crap, I'd have a little laugh.
That's so good. That's like a shirt that you'd see like a Korean tourist wearing walking around
to be like, where did you even buy that from? It's like the Obey logo, but it just says crap.
Well, this person does seem to have, this person on eBay does seem to have like legit shirts legit shirts. Lucy, they have an original 1990s Waynes World shirt.
True vintage, not a modern reproduction. Only four hundred and nine Australian dollars.
You can't be charging that much for a fucking shirt.
No, sorry. I'm a little perplexed by the review that somebody left after purchasing a vintage
1995 Primus Tales from the Punch Bowl shirt. Cool.
Okay.
For $245.
And they left their review, Five Stars.
Seems almost too perfect.
Is it vintage?
It's mint, like fresh off the rack, mint.
I don't know.
I'm going to see Primus for the fifth time, so I'm obviously a fan.
I'd spend the money either way. Huh? So what do you, how do you feel?
If you'd spend the money either way, buy a fucking new one.
Yeah, I don't know.
Just buy a new one.
Drop 50 bucks on a reproduction of that shirt.
Call that getting tricked by business.
Yeah, there it is. Yes. Yes. Just do what I did. And when you're like 22, go online to one of those like boot, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the 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 the th. th. th. the. the. thean. thean. thoooooo. thea. th. thooooooo. the. the. the. the. th.'re like 22, go online to one of those like bootleg metal
shirts websites, buy every single Primus shirt they have and then find out that none of
them fit you because they're the weirdest sizes on earth.
Yeah.
Also made of like a freakishly.
That's on one that's twice as wide as it is called.
Yeah, they're always the like Gilden-wide style. Band shirts are fucking terrible. They never fit. Any gilden?
All of our shirts printed on a Gilden Chode.
I will say in the interest of fairness,
Gilden soft style is a pretty good fit.
That's like a-
I was gonna say the worst thing about them is they have the worst textured shirts.
Like the texture.
Yeah, good. Like a cotton, the the the the the the the the the the the tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thoen- thoen- thoes thathea. thi- thoes thoes thoes thi. thirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirthirtz th. tha th. th. tha's th. th. tha's tha's th. thuuuice thuice thuice thi. thi-s. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt. thirt nasty.

to on those A.S.
Color staples. That's a quality shirt.
It's true. And I can't believe no one is talking about this. And we talk about stuff
that needs to be talked about on a segment we call stuff we should talk about.
It's time for stuff we should talk about. I will get a theme for that soon.
Yeah, we shouldn't, yeah.
Co-ed-naked clamming?
Oh, Jesus.
Well, that one writes itself.
It really does.
That one's pretty simple.
Get your clam out, right?
Yeah. Jam out with your clam out, it says.
Oh, I feel like you could.
That's something better.
Yeah, maybe.
Got a lot of clam stuff.
So this is just something I wanted to talk about.
Yes.
Something, stuff that I thought we should talk about.
So earlier, like last week, my best friend texted me, and me and her are very different
people.
We have very different interests.
One of her interest is reading romance novels.
Like she's one of those people that will just read like a hundred of those like
shitty, cheap romance novels constantly.
Do you have to say why?
I don't know. She seems to enjoy them.
I've never read one.
Are we talking like, because they come in like two grades, right?
One where it's just sort of like a romance with some like glossed over sex scenes or the ones that are just pure smart.
Yeah, no, they're pure, the nasty ones. Yeah, nice. Which is just not for me because I would just like
watch pornography on the internet just personally. You're a busy woman, you don't have time to read a
fucking novella. Yeah, exactly. But she texts me and she was like, you've got totalking about my ice hockey stuff and
I was like look I'm not going to do that but what do you mean like is that a
genre like is that just a thing an ice hockey romance novel it turns out
there's a whole world out there like you would not believe okay so are you
guys aware of book talk do you know what I mean when I say book talk?
Yes. I understand it insofar as I know what it there's a combination of words of.
Is there just like people that are on Tick Tock that always talk about like the same 10 New York bestsellers or whatever?
No, no, this is like for specifically this muddy sex books basically. Okay. Which there are apparently just thousands and thousands of it. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm thii's thi's thi thi thi's thi. I'm thi thi thi. I thi. I thi. I th- I th- I th- I th- I th- I thi. I thi. I thi. I I thi. I thi. I I thi. I thi. I I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. books basically. Okay. Which there are
apparently just thousands and thousands of it. You'll just get a reel that's like a
lady being like when the fairy king locks you in a room and pees on you and then
makes you say thank you. And then it's like a song. You never seen these?
Like you'll just see the most fucked up thing you've ever seen and then realize that she's like
talking about a book.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pissed on by the fairy king.
Pissed on by the fairy king.
Yeah, it's just really like, really, really, women are disgusting too, type stuff, you know?
Which is great. It's really lovely to be reminded sometimes. sometimes the women are unbelievably haughty and often in worse ways. Yeah. That, you know, without the sexual violence, often less forgivable ways.
So I started reading into this.
I found this article from the New York Times, which is the messy relationship between
romance novels and ice hockey.
Hockey romance is a thriving literary subgenre, but some of its fans on Tick Tock are
creating content that blurs the lines between fictional players and real-life ones dividing the community.
The niche world of hockey romance novels is getting mainstream attention after the wife
of an NHL player criticized book fans, who she said had made comments and videos on social
media about her husband that were predatory and exploiting.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Yeah, it says here that user Valentine's predatory and exploiting. Oh no. Right.
Yeah, it says here that user Valentine underscore Lucy said.
I keep these things to myself.
Yeah, I could go a little high sticking.
How about some necessary roughness?
You know?
Right. So this is about book talk.
On Tick Tock, people share book recommendations and reviews under the hashtag book talk.
The community has become a powerful force in publishing.
More than 100 authors with large book talk follings drove 760 million in sales in 2022.
Romance, the big part of the booktok universe as its popular sub-genre hockey romance,
which falls under the broader sports romance category.
Like firstly I can't think of anything less romantic than dating a hockey player.
Yeah, like he's probably like he's not going to be like a smart guy. No, he's like even if he's a smart guy he's
Canadian like he's from Ontario and he talks like he's like kind of slow like you're not sure if he's like
got an acquired brain injury. Yeah and by that or he's like Russian or Swedish and you're like,
Oh, why are you over here?
Yeah, none of them good.
It's kind of, like it's kind of hot, but.
Yeah.
Babe, do you want to fuck?
No, I'm going to go and play ice hockey.
Okay.
I got skate practice tomorrow, babe. All right.
That's literally every day, but okay.
Hmm.
Recent hits have included Anna Zabo and L.A.Wit's scoreless game,
a love story between two long-time friends
who are players on the fictional Pittsburgh Griffins.
Go Griffins.
Go Griffins. In Overnight Sensation by Serena Bowen, an office intern for the fictional Brooklyn Bruises
moves in with a player after leaving the condo she lives in with her father, the Hockey League's
Commissioner.
Oh, it's always like there's a drama caused by one of their fathers.
Oh yeah. It's classic.
In Australia, where ice hockey is not particularly popular, professional teams have credited
book talk with increasing game attendance and fan interest. Sarah Bricknell, the events and media manager for
the Melbourne Mustangs, told the Hillshire Times, a Sydney newspaper that 15 to
30 Book Tock fans had been at every home game since the team joined Tick Tock in May.
What the fuck you, where are you getting those stats from? Can you tell by looking? There are the I've got to say that like that like that like that like that like that like the the the the the the the the their their their their their to to to to their to to their to their their their their their their their their their to their their tooom. tooom. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to their to their their to be. I. I'm to be. I'm tooes. I'm te. I'm tea. Ia. I'm tea. Ia. I'll. I'm tea. I'm tea. I'm their their their their the you tell by looking? There's just like a group of like young women that are there. I've got to say that like I've been to a bunch of like Australian ice hockey games.
They're really fun, but it's we're talking like low league.
Yeah.
Like these are just some guys.
Like you're a real fan to be fan.
Not a book talk.
Yeah. Yeah, you can tell who the book talk ladies are because well, there's actually people attending the game and also they all have Bluetooth eggs in
Yeah
Oh, come with their eggs
Hey, you might not know the answer to this Lucy, but um, but is book talk something where like particular authors will kind of, I guess, try to like
ingratiate themselves with Book Talk creators in order to juice sales?
Oh, I don't know, probably.
Yeah, I think that there are a lot of people who just deliberately try to cultivate
followings and leverage stuff off that because it does drive like crazy amounts of book sales
because no one actually buys books anymore except for these derange.
So I was curious about it. I looked at one. There's one that's like for a sale in Kmart.
Like these hockey books are like in Kmart. You can buy them everywhere. They're so popular.
And I was like, well, because I asked my best friend, I was like, well, how detailed is it? She's like, oh, it's like full on. Like, it's just a complete sex scene in there.
So I had a like flick through at Kamer the other day of this book that looks like a teenage romance
novel. It's something you would buy for like a 12-year-old girl. Yeah. It's got like a cute drawing on the front, like romantic, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. Like, th. Like, the the th. Like, th. Like, it's just fully like, I'm gonna claim that pussy later.
I was like, oh my goodness.
I saw a thing about this a little while ago where it was somebody who works in a bookstore
and they were talking about having this sort of moral quandary, right? With, that was saying particularly around the cover designs for these books where they were like, yeah, a lot of stuff now has this really kind of
like poppy, bright,
Sweet Valley High, yeah, it's really popping colorful. I'm like that so much as just like clean contemporary graphic design that looks like
like Lucy's saying, looks like it could be a young adult novel kind of thing.
And they were saying, yeah, you get a bunch of like parents bringing these books up to
the counter like for a kid or with their kid. And they were saying, I'm really torn about whether
or not I should be saying to parents, hey, like, you know what kind of book this is? because it's just sort of softcore porn. Like, obviously it's, it's, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get, you, you get, you get, you get, you get, you, you, you, you, you, you th thi, you th th th th th th th th, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to parents, hey you know what kind of book this is?
Because it's just sort of soft core porn? Like obviously it's fine to have that stuff and if
you know there's literatica and all that kind of stuff on the internet but it's like it's very
unclear from the designs of these books what's inside them. Definitely ended up reading a lot of like
very explicit sex scenes in books as a kid where I had no idea that was going
to be in there and boy was I thrilled that it was.
Yeah.
Well yeah, but like and I don't think this person's concern was in any way like there shouldn't
be sex scenes in books or they shouldn't be getting sold in bookstores or anything.
It was purely the matter of like.
How do you say it's quite clear from seeing the purchasing patterns of people who are buying them,
that a lot of people are buying them for their like, you know, 11, 12 year old daughters.
And she's gonna think a hockey player is a good boyfriend. That's not a good boyfriend.
He's always at hockey practice. You are gonna have to live in the worst cities imaginable.
Newfoundland. You are moving to Montreal. Got all over the place.
They will change you.
You are first moving to the Ukraine.
Gotta try and figure out how to wash his shoulder pads.
How do you even clean that stuff, you know?
Stinky.
On the internet, the lines between fictional players and real life ones can blur,
especially when teams use Book Talk to the Seattleselves. Video posted to the Seattle Cracken's official Tick-Tock account that has since been archived
showed Alex Wenberg a center for the team walking down a hallway in a suit with the text,
when you accidentally become a Booktok account and now that's all you can post.
What? Yeah. Other posts by Romance fans on Book Talk have talked about a specific player as a stand-in for a favorite fictional hockey player
or showed game footage overlaid with quotes from hockey romance books.
A segment of these posts are sexually explicit and some fans have posted explicit comments on players personal social media accounts.
I want to fucking suck you like in the book. Yeah, let me grab that stick.
Save it for the DMs, but...
Talk about your penis.
Yeah.
Emily Wrath, the author of Pucking Around.
Romance bestseller on Amazon,
said on Tick-Tock.
That some fans had raised concerns about inappropriate behavior directed at players earlier this year.
True hockey romance readers have been here before, Miss Rath said on Tick Tock. We watched it all unfold in April. We were ringing the alarm bells.
We were asking that it stop. Man, this is a specific voice people use on the internet
when they're talking about the communities they're in online as if they are in a war. Yeah. We watched it all
unfold in April. Yeah, like your brother company like they were in a war. Yeah. We watched it all unfold in April. Yeah, like your brother company, like.
Like they were like a bunch of posts that you saw and reflitted.
You refleeded some posts about it or something?
Yeah, well there was a big drama.
There was a big drama, actually.
Conflict peaked when an NHL players.
Issue started to attract attention from outside the romance world in July when
Felicia Wenberg, the wife of Alex Wenberg, said that some posts about her husband had gone
too far. This Wenberg said on Instagram stories that while she had initially joked about some of
the videos and comments, they had since crossed the line of what it needs to fancy someone
and when it actually sounds pretty predatory and exploiting. Genuine question.
Do you think that people are becoming more insane about famous people, online celebrity and all that sort of stuff than they have ever been before?
I think there's something strange about having such access to a famous person.
Like they might not interact with you, but you can send them a DM on Instagram, you know.
And if you're like a hockey player on the Seattle Crackens, you'll probably see that?
Like you're in a level of fame where you're like, oh, like hockey fans will definitely recognize you with the supermarket constantly and shit, but also you don't have like, like, Kim Kardashian has never seen a DM in her life.
Like, never, you know, like she is so many layers removed from that that like, it doesn't really
matter how the public interacts with her because she's super insulated from it.
If you're just like a guy that's always on the bench for hockey games and everyone wants to fuck you thu that, you gonna the the the the the the th..... they they. they. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. You thi. thi. to see, thi. thi. to see, to see, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t.. t. t... t. te. te. te. te. te. tttttte. ttttte. te. te. tte. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. t everyone wants to fuck you when they're trying to message you that, you're going to see them, you're going to see them constantly.
I guess it's better than guys that lost their like sports bet multi messaging you being
like, you should fucking kill yourself after the game.
If you don't kill yourself, I'll kill you. So like, which way Western man? Which way, hockey man?
The wife's statement described what she considered acceptable,
such as positive comments about her husband's looks,
and what she did not, such as chanting,
Crack my back at players at games.
She asked people to think twice about their posts.
You're like in the stands and you're chanting,
fuck me.
Yeah. Fuck me! Crack, crackin, but crack my back.
Like just get in there and snap my back and half from how robust physically destroy me.
I don't know, I guess.
Very weird to be at a group of people yelling that at people.
That's like, I mean, it's just sexual harassment.
Yeah, this is just like sexual harassment. The cracken has since removed its tick-talk-in, but th, but th, but th, but th, but th, cracken, but th, cracken, th, cracken, th, cracken, like, like, like, cracken, like, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, crackin, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, but cracken, cracken, crackin, crackin, crackin, cracken, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like crack, like crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, the crack, the crack, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the c' the c' crack, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracken, cracker, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, cracker, crack, crack, crack, cracker, crack, crack, cracker, like, like, I mean it's just sexual harassment. Like it's not ambiguous. This is just like sexual harassment.
The Kraken has since removed its Tick-Tock posts about book talk.
Yeah.
So they got involved with it.
They were like, oh this is fun.
We'll just repost these horny posts about our players and then realized it was very
bad.
Yeah, like a hundred women in the stands being like, me that dick! Dick me down! Oh man, we can't do this anymore.
No.
So I found one of the women that's like responsible for a lot of all this.
And I went through like a bunch of her TikToks and it was just like unhinged.
Like, she was an unhinged person.
There was just all these like videos of players at games and just heard like,
doing really like horny faces and like bending over and stuff like that.
Just overlaid on like footage of players.
Oh, Lucy, have you considered that feminism is about equality and equality means that it's time
we start sexually harassing them. Yeah, yeah, you know, maybe if they didn't like it,
they shouldn't have been harassing ladies all those
years.
Maybe they shouldn't be, like, ice hockey is a sluddy game.
Like, it's no place for a man.
There's been real sluddy out there, looking all sexy, getting into fights and stuff.
Yeah, you know.
How you were dressed when you skate it out on the ice. body. That just makes it sexier, that just makes it more mysterious. So this lady
made a video that Miss Wendberg cited as an example of inappropriate behavior
and she has since posted a handful of videos responding to the situation.
Kiera Lewis, who has a 1.1 million followers on Tick Tock had been flown out to a
crack in game earlier this year after she posted videos featuring explicit comments about NHL players.
She said that she had privately messaged Ms. Wenberg on Instagram to apologize.
Hey, sorry I really want to fuck your husband.
Wait, wait, wait, I'm flone out here.
to a Crack and go.
Flown out to a Crack and tho? Yeah, like they really embraced this. They were like, oh, this, this, this, this, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thrown, thr you out here. You can yell at them about how you want to fuck them.
It's just like me, it's just like,
flying a Disney influencer out to Disney World or whatever, you know?
Yeah, I think so.
Miss Lewis said that the crack and tick-tick-toc account had since unfolled her. to follow her, thi-it, it it it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, is just just just just man, you can't like, I understand this probably occupies a lot of a mental space
and when you get that sort of online fame it sort of becomes your entire life. Yeah. But
you cannot as a grown adult have like a big meltdown because of an unfolowing. That's just like the most,
it's, it's indecorous. It's not becoming.
They probably just unfollowed you to like stop encouraging you.
Yeah, and so that those DMs wouldn't come up with a notification.
Leave that in the requests.
Yeah, she would have been sent in so many DMs.
You know she's in the players DMs every morning, like, have a good game today.
Good morning, sweetie.
Good morning, sweetie. Thinking of you. Crackin said said said said said said said said said said said th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th said said said said said said said th th th th said th th th th th th th th th th th the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, th.

Kraken said in a statement that they had originally engaged with book talk to connect with new audiences, but were reminded by this situation that unintended consequences may arise.
Yeah. Hmm. I guess. Sometimes you try and cultivate a new audience and then
that new audience is just like in the stands gagging, aggressively gagging at your players.
Which you're allowed to. You're just going to keep it again to yourself.
Yeah. You can be horny, but we'll say it. You can be as horny as you want for hockey
players, but just don't bring the egg with you to the game and don't shout out, hey, dick me down.
Hey, dick me down. thick me down.
I don't know your name.
Penalty box, two minutes, I got time, let's go. As short as you want, I don't care.
Get in this box, you know? 30 seconds. Whatever.
See, I just wanted to talk about women being disgusting corny freaks. Yeah, thank you for helping us take women down a peg.
Yeah, because we can't...
I think they need to be brought down just a little bit.
Watch pornography.
Just, yeah.
Watch pornography like the rest of us, you know.
Read your books, just don't like, DM the players.
Just don't get confused about the fact that they're real people people the the the the they're the they're real people, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, like, like,the fact that they're real people like in real life with like families.
Like if you are so horny from reading fictional scenarios of ice hockey players fucking that you are
starting to struggle to distinguish between reality and fantasy probably take a breather and just
watch pornography. Put the book down. I'm such ice hockey team you know. Oh my god I bet you're
going to find something great there. Yeah! Just have, have the books down. You search ice hockey team, you know? Oh my God, I bet you're going to find something great there.
Yeah.
Just have the palate cleanser of two to four hours of hardcore pornography.
Yes, just reset your brain.
Sometimes your brain just needs a hard reset.
Start gooning. Women can goon too.
Oh, there's women can goon too.
It's probably a pun there, right?
Because that movie and because of the...
Yes.
The ice hockey?
Like gooning, goonings where you're watching goon
and ice hockey play a pornography at the same time.
Yeah.
And you're on the cusp of orgasm for 12 hours until your stuff hurts.
Ideally. Hey, just, coming to, coming back to co-ed naked shirts for a second.
Huh?
I was just, just suddenly captivated by this one-star review from Chris M. January 3rd, 2024,
received a skiing shirt when a fishing shirt was ordered.
Right?
That's got to be upsetting.
That's very upsetting.
You're a fishing guy.
Have sent two emails to resolve, and the company doesn't care to respond.
The other two shirts that I ordered came exactly as ordered.
This skiing shirt, however, I have no useful.
What, if it would keep your torso warm and it would cover up your nipples.
It's strongly suggesting that the shirt is only valid if you are an active participant in the subject of the shirt.
Well you wouldn't get the coed naked electrician shirt if you weren't a sparky like that wouldn't make any fucking
No, you wouldn't give that to a guy who loved clamming.
Yeah, you're like what's this for? I just love the idea the idea the idea the idea the idea that that the idea that that the idea that that the idea that that that the idea the idea that that that that that the idea that the idea that that that that that that th. that that that that's that's that's that the the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the shirt. the shirt. the s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. theathea. the the theateat. the theat. theat. theat. theat. that's that's theat. that's theat. theat. You wouldn't give that to a guy who loved clamming. Yeah.
You'd be like, what's this for?
I just love the idea that he's like, the other two,
the other two, you know, the ones for skydiving and air hockey?
Perfect. Wonderful. They're a big part of my life.
My brother-in-law, he also plays a lot of air hockey, we can share the shirt. It's a dual-purpose shirt.
Skiing though?
Skiing for a fisherman like me?
Absurd.
It'd be fucking insane for me to wear this.
What if I was wearing it and someone asked me where I like to go skiing?
Hit the slopes later?
What's your favorite black diamond slope?
Yeah, instantly bursting into tears. I can't keep up the charade
anymore. I can't lie. I can't fucking lie, all right? I've never gone skiing in my life. I just
think it's funny to imagine if they were naked co-eds and they were skiing because that would be
crazy. What if they were horny? What if everyone was naked and they were doing the stuff that I'd like to do, but I don't like to ski and they still have the shirt?
I do kind of want to get the fishing shirt. The fishing shirt looks good.
Co-ed-naked fishing. It's got like a beautiful trout, you know, lying in some firms.
And it says underneath, it feels good to release. I thought you wanted to catch the fish the fish the fish the fish the fish. the fish. the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they're to to they to to they're they're they're to they're.

I'll to release. I thought you wanted to catch the fish.
Well, yeah, but then you release, you know what I mean?
The release.
Does the release feel good?
I thought maybe the catch would feel better.
Well, the catch feels good because you've achieved something,
but the release feels fucking amazing.
Because you've done a great act of, like mercy, of clemency to this fish. You're saying, hey.
You've done a Steve Irwin.
Yes.
Yeah, I just fish for the release.
You've done a Rex Hunt, but not the, not the bad stuff, Rex Hunt did, the good stuff.
Yeah, the Rex Hunt did.
He kissed all those fish.
He kissed all that fish. Yeah, saying, hey, tha, the tha, tha, tha, th. th. tha, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm th.

Yeah, because the other of a fucking swivel.
Do you reckon Rex Hunt would recognize a fish if he got it again?
No, you had your chance. You're going in the Eski.
Yeah, you're not getting a kiss this time.
You're getting in a frying pan with a little bit of butter.
A little bit of Tarragon. Maybe thinking if I get caught again, I get another kiss. Yeah.
Kiss for me?
Maybe if I get caught again, it'll go further next time.
The last time I went fishing, I caught the same fish twice in a row.
Really?
Same style of fish?
No, it's the exact same fish because it had a thing from where I'd taken the hook out off the last one.
, Because it had a little... It had a thing from where I'd taken the hook out off the last one. Did you say, bro, give me a fucking break.
Yeah, also it's just a little tiny brim who was of no use to anyone.
Yeah, it felt really mean.
I haven't been fishing since that was ages.
When God's choir sings, will that little brim's voice not be heard?
No, it would be very quiet. They're going to have elephants, they're going to have W.W.E. is the Great Carly.
Just bellowing away, you know?
Big show.
Big show.
Big show.
Big show.
Even some of the smaller wrestlers like Rob Van Dam and Taz from ECW, they're going to be there singing.
You know, they're really going to drown that for him out.
Probably Shack's voice, probably drowning out most of the animals as well.
Shack will be there.
All of the big guys.
All the big guests that they had over the years.
Dennis Rodman will definitely be singing in the Lord's Quiet, but I think
he's going to stand with the wrestlers and not with the basketball players. I agree. Robert Wadlow, he's probably going to be pretty loud as well.
Why would Coeds be fishing?
Why would they be fishing naked?
Why would they be fishing naked?
Maybe you're in the tropics.
Maybe you're in the tropics.
Maybe you're in the tropics. Coed Nakeda. B referral code. Oh.
Coednaked.com slash, Bunter.
This has been an ad.
Inter.
Bontavista five.
Five percent off.
Now it will say that the code is invalid and for good reason.
Yes.
I'm trying to fix up our merch situation by the way.
I'll get there one day. Oh, we should make a co-ed naked podcasting shirt.
We should. I can't think of a, can't think of a little gag just yet.
I'll get there.
You got to use your mouth.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Four mouths are better than one? Yes! Yes, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. I guess it'd be hard to,
full mouths, it doesn't really matter. Gee, that's a lot of mouths.
Yes, that's perfect. Oh boy. That was definitely an episode of the podcast.
Butta Vista, thank you so much for joining us.
This is going to be my last episode for a little while,
because I will be in South America.
Ben has cancer.
Ben is dying.
I'm dying.
Send money to me.
Yeah.
So, I'll be back in like five weeks from when you're hearing this.
Ben's got Wonder Lust.
Yeah, I'm kind of like a Wonderlust kind of travel guy.
For me, and this is just a personal thing, I love being on holiday.
Hmm.
Which is sort of a unique part of my personality.
Interesting thing about me, yeah.
Oh, you're the one guy who likes travel, how do you feel about music?
I love music. Anything anything anything beat, she makes my heart sing.
Oh, yuck, I had a beat.
Yeah.
We'll see you next week.
Stay safe out there.
Bye.
Bye. you
