Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Hello, welcome to Buntavista Inside the Mind, episode 391. Every week we discuss the mind behind an invention that changed the way we think about the world. I'm Cornelius Diarrea and this week we're in session with the visionary genius who took sexual intercourse and turned it on its head. He's a balloonist, an acrobat from Paris, France. You might not know it, but he invented the 69. Bonjour Ben. Bonjour, ça va? Ah, good.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Sorry, avec, good. Ah, good. Sorry, a VEC good. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your invention that's taking the world by storm. I feel like I need time to dial the accident. You know, I'll just, I'll road dog it. What's the worst that can happen? I was doing my regular acrobatique with a sexual lady partner and one time we were both orient,
Starting point is 00:01:30 how you say, inverse. And we found that it all just sort of worked very well together. It was pleasurable for both. It was new, new wave, I believe you say, and things just went from there. I don't even have time to make balloon animals anymore. And Ben, would you say that your experience as an acrobat helped you view the world from a different perspective? Oh, that is a pun.
Starting point is 00:02:00 That is the play on words. Yes, that is very true. It's both the literal and the figurative sense. It helps to broaden the mind. And also I was down there where the pussy was. So I went, hey, let's just, you're up there where the penis is. Let's make this work. Of course, we understand France's fertile ground for disgusting perverts.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Why do you think France is such a leading force in this field? Oh, is it? Well, you know, France is a great country of one. And I believe that it is the soil, the terroir of France that gives us this beautiful grape. But I believe it is also a psychic terroir. Yeah. Have you seen the terroir before? It's very good. Oh, La terroir.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Season one. La terroir. C'est un ouf. Do you think French are all pedophiles because of the show, the terroir? I think it's the terroir. Starring Jared Harris. That's right. And also, of course, with us, a nerd-ass historian to tell us people have been 69-ing for millennia. And this isn't actually a new invention.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It's Lucy. Lucy, why are you such a wet blanket? Oh, I was just kind of, I was born this way actually. Yeah. Yeah, so people have been 69ing since at least the, I'd say the 11th century. Yeah, there's not a lot of material there, but it's not to say that the Dark Ages was a dark age of invention. It was just a dark age of documentation, of history. 100%. They just weren't writing it down. It was just a dark age of documentation, of history. A hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:03:45 They just weren't writing it down. They were having a 69 and then not immediately making notes. Cavemen were 69ing. They probably just didn't carve it on the wall. Yeah. Just probably didn't seem to yucky when you like write it down. Hey, if you naturally arrived at 69ing without having ever been told about it or seen anyone else doing it. That really would have been a lucky break for you.
Starting point is 00:04:09 You might even consider yourself a lucky duck. It's time for Mr. Lucky Duck. That's one lucky duck. That's two lucky ducks. Yeah. 69, two lucky ducks. That's two lucky ducks.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah. 69, two lucky ducks. Ah, this comes to us from KSL TV in Utah. Boy eight jumping on trampoline survives being thrown by wind 20 feet in air. Oh my goodness. Sick. Yeah. That's kind of the dream.
Starting point is 00:04:44 If you're like a boy on a trampoline to go up that high. What's that? That's like eight meters Yeah, six meters six meters in the air six meters in the air That's a story you tell your friends at school and they call you a fucking liar Yeah, I went like 20 feet in the air. I went 20 feet in the air I went like I almost like could see like planes where I was is like how big that I bounced but um I've said that they won't talk about because it's too dangerous and other kids might try it So if you ask them, they'll say that I didn't like how big that I bounced but I'm gonna say that they won't talk about because it's too dangerous and other kids might try it so if you ask them they'll say that I didn't do it but I did. A herriman family is calling it a miracle that their son is alive after a terrifying
Starting point is 00:05:15 awesome ordeal. While visiting relatives at St George this week, eight-year-old Jake Smith was jumping on the trampoline when all of a sudden a wind burst picked up the trampoline causing it to go flying 20 feet the air with Jake on it. Oh Oh, that's crazy. Yes, this happened to my hairdresser's grandchild Serious Yeah. I was serious. And they told you during the haircut?
Starting point is 00:05:47 They were all right. Oh, they had to like hold the trampoline. It was getting like blown away. Something like that. Maybe there was no one on the trampoline. I think there was someone on the trampoline. I'll ask them again and then I'll get back to you. How old is your hairdresser? My hairdresser would be in her, she might be 60.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Good on her. I think it's because of those new like woke trampolines that they've got. Yeah, the woke, they make. You know, with all the big barriers around the side. They're kind of rocket shaped. Trampolines didn't used to look like that. They were kind of just flat and they hurt your body a lot of the time. Yeah, you'd come off a lot of the time and you'd just land on the ground or you would...
Starting point is 00:06:24 Or get stuck in the springs. Yeah. Springs all the time. Or you'd raid your back on the, on the side of the, the like metal bar. You'd come off and just like on your back. Yeah. We used to drink from the hose. Yeah. We used to drink from the hose.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yes. Yeah. That kills kids. Quote, it just happened so fast without any warning. Mother, Shirley Smith said, my little boy flew up over two cinder block walls and curved around and then landed in the street. Sick. Holy Joe. Imagine looking out the window and little Jake's floating away on the trampoline.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Being in the newspaper for what a cool trick you did on your trampoline. Yeah. I don't know why the detail of two cinder block walls gets me. He went over two walls! Uh, Shelly immediately ran over to Jake in terror. She said he sat up, seemingly unscathed, and asked her if it was a dream. Weird little boy. Strange.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Strange boy. Am I in a dream? Dare I, dare I bully what is before me? Am I dreaming, mother? Mother, mother, was it a dream? Yeah, let's bully this kid. He nearly died. Well, he survived. So it's fine.
Starting point is 00:07:32 This is such a funny fucking free action. He survived. It's fine. It's really funny. You just landed on the ground on a road. You're like, oh boy, a beautiful dream. Oh boy. Oh, but mother, was it a dream?
Starting point is 00:07:43 Was it just a dream? Am I asleep or awake? Was it just a dream? Am I asleep or awake? What is real mother? A little dork. Yeah. You little nerd, creepy little nerd. He did do that cool trick though. That is true.
Starting point is 00:08:00 He's kind of putting him up in my estimation. He is kind of, yeah. He's kind of put him up in my estimation. He is kind of, yeah. He's kind of cool. Yeah. Quote, and I said, no son, this wasn't a dream. This was very real. All right. It's not a dream, my boy.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It's real and it's wondrous. I believe. He was able to tell me his name, his age and everything. Like nothing happened. It's real and it's wondrous. I believe. He was able to tell me his name, his age and everything. Like nothing happened. Yeah. Cause he was fine. Cause he didn't hurt himself. Cause he was in the woke trampoline.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Cause he was in the woke trampoline. Oh, I guess, yeah. I wonder if this is one of the ones where you can't like come out of the trampoline because you're enclosed. Yeah. I think if he wasn't in the woke trampoline that perhaps he would have been thrown into at least one of those cinder block walls. Or at the very least deposited like harshly down on that eight lane mega
Starting point is 00:08:55 highway they live next to whatever. Yeah. Uh, Jake got a CT scan at the hospital, ultimately walking away with just minor scratches and a slight concussion. So he wasn't fine. so he wasn't fine. So he wasn't fine. Not entirely unscathed, just a slight concussion. The trauma department was like, you don't usually get this outcome in
Starting point is 00:09:16 situations like this, Shelley said. Like, yeah, we usually see more trauma. Yeah. But how, how specific are they big in situations like this? Like when a little boy is trapped in a trampoline and throwing over to send a block walls. Yeah. Oh, this is a two cinder blocker Double blocker over here. Yeah, usually he would have got blasted. He would have absolutely no damage Maybe if you want one cinder blocker turn into pinkish toothpaste on the highway No damage? Maybe from one cinder blocker. Turned into pinkish toothpaste on the highway.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Got his head cut off. Uh, the Smiths are hoping their story will serve as a warning to other families to make sure their trampolines are securely mounted. Securely mounted? You're supposed to mount your trampolines? Yeah, I guess. Well, that's what Brian Smith is saying. Quote, strap them down. They're just like giant kites. If you have a trampoline, get it bolts to the ground because it can happen in seconds, Shirley said.
Starting point is 00:10:11 This is, I hope this becomes like a radicalizing thing for them where like their whole life gets taken over by trampoline safety. Yeah. Oh, like pool safety guy? They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like known local characters who's like, Tarragos are just covered in vinyl stickers of like bolt down your trampoline, trampoline will kill. It's just like a giant kite.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It is not a dream. It's only like a kite cause you built it that way. Bring back the old trampolines. Yeah. Yeah. Those ones you've got to be in like a category one or category two before they take off with your little boy on there. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And he probably shouldn't be out there in a cat too. I would say a good like 60% of our storm preparation was tying the trampoline to the house. That's right. You've got to work trampoline. I've got to work trampoline. You do have to work trampoline. Well, have you seen my boys?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah, they need their work one. Because they work boys? They couldn't be trusted on their... Well, they're very easily bruised. They're vulnerable and yeah, like it didn't move an inch. Jake added, he's going to be cautious of the next trampoline he gets on. Quote, I'm going to say, is yours bolted down? The eight year old said.
Starting point is 00:11:23 You'd unbillon all your good work Jake. He's at your party and he's going to be like, is your trampoline bolted down? Yeah. He's calling the police because the trampoline isn't bolted down. My mum had told me to just say no to unbolted trampolines. Yeah. And he's wearing a shirt that says exactly that as well. His parents make him wear it every time he goes anywhere. There's 50 ways to say no to an unsecure trampoline.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Uh, I don't have my pilot's license yet. They're starting an organization called U-Port, Utah and Parents Against Unbolted Trampolines. parents against unbolted trampolines. The Smiths expressed their relief to still have their son sitting next to them. Like Morrissey? Like Morrissey said that? Cause they call the Smiths. Cause they call the Smiths.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty funny. And if you're under 30, you've probably still heard of the Smiths. It'd be like, you've probably heard of the Smiths, like just figure it out context. Yeah. But you, but you probably don't like as viscerally picture Morrissey when the Smiths dimension as well, though, you probably don't have such a...
Starting point is 00:12:37 Johnny Ma said that? Yeah, Johnny Ma. That's also funny. Yeah. That's also funny. Quote, I know that there are angels protecting my little boy because they caught him. Shelley said the fact that he's here with me today is a complete miracle. I think they flew off that trampoline.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Taking your son to heaven. I reckon you should thank the woke trampoline. You should probably just think who made the woke trampolines. Yeah, the woke trampoline that kept your boy safe. For like 50 years, we had the stupid trampolines. Yeah the work trampoline that kept your boy safe for like 50 years We had the stupidest fucking possible design for the trampoline It was a psychotic thing to like let your kids on unsupervised Break their hours a day. Yeah, like it's would break their arms on them all the time
Starting point is 00:13:19 When do you think that the mainstream crossover into the woke trampoline was in my mind? I'm sure I don't have kids, so I'm not really interacting with the trampoline space a lot. 10 years ago, I think longer than 10 years, but it happened while I wasn't paying attention. That's how life fucking happens. That's how life, yeah. Life is what happens.
Starting point is 00:13:38 When you're making other plans. Yes. Trampolines change when you're busy at work. That's so true. There were 22 deaths recorded from trampoline use in the 10 years between 2000 and 2009. There's surprisingly quite a lot of still trampoline injuries. Even with the woke trampoline? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I'm looking at a lot of stats. Do we need to describe the difference between the trampolines here? Cause I don't know, maybe there are people listening to this that grew up only with the woke trampoline. There might be young people that only had a woke trampoline. We just had a flat square with rusty springs that some of them were sticking out and we used to jump off the roof onto it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:20 And yeah. You put it next to the pool and do some of the craziest shit you've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Flip it on its side, do wall jumps. They were sold with like plastic pads that go over the springs. Oh, like with the deteriorating. Like a centimeter of blue, horrible cancer causing foam that was just there so you didn't know where like the spring was. So your feet would go between the springs and then bam, you've lost a leg.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yes. And we didn't have one of those and the springs would also get so hot in the Australian summer, like so hot. You would be burning yourself, getting caught in them. I wanted one of those trampolines so bad. We never had a trampoline when I was growing up, but you know, if you're one of the kids whose family have a trampoline, you're like, you're basically the president. You're the king. Yeah. You're kind of the king whose family have a trampoline, you're like, you're basically the president. You're the king.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah. You're kind of the king. So it felt like the king. Yeah. And then you double bounce them and you send them flying off and they're bad. They've gone straight into the pool. You guys reckon you could do a flip on the trampoline? Front flip.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yes. I reckon I could still do one. Absolutely. Fucking absolutely not. How do you even start? I don't even know fucking not. Absolutely not. No, definitely not. I don't even know how you start moving backwards. No. How do you start moving backwards?
Starting point is 00:15:29 How do you start moving backwards? When was the last time you guys were on a trampoline? Well, I mean, I own one and I've got children. Do you jump on it? Sure, you can fit in there. I fit in there. And also, like, they also need to know what to aim for, so I have to show them some of the moves some of the tricks
Starting point is 00:15:45 Okay, so you teach them how to double bounce each other. Oh, you got a double bounce. Absolutely. That's in the That's like the starting basket. Now you do that back bounce. You kick your legs up your bounce off your back Oh, that's great. I want your feet Trampoline tricks with dad This is one of the memories that they will genuinely probably cherish the fuck out of. Like I don't think my dad ever went on a trampoline with me once. Ever. That'd be nice.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Bouncing with dad? Bouncing with dad? Bouncing with dad? Sunday afternoon bounce with dad? That's what memories are made of. Hey, if you have any interesting trampoline memories you'd like to share with us, you can send them through to the Bunta Vista Hotline. It's time for the Bunta Vista Hotline.
Starting point is 00:16:30 1-800-317-515 That's the Bunta Vista Hotline 1-800-317-515 that's the Boonta Vista hotline You can send us an email mailbag at boontavista.com Maybe DM us on Twitter You could even message Facebook But we don't really check the Facebook, yeah 800-3-1-7-5-1-5, that's the Boonta Vista hotline Man, he was really cooking on those vocals. Hey, he was really cooking on that.
Starting point is 00:17:16 We could probably update that song cause. Yeah. We don't check the Twitter either. You don't check the Twitter, but you can message me on Instagram, which is what one of our listeners, Adam, did the other day. Usually I don't bring these things to the podcast, but I really couldn't resist this one. This is from one of our favorites, the East Idaho News. Local band blends punk, pop and rock to create unique sound. That sounds right up your alley, Lucy. Punk, pop?
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah, I'm not sure. You could mix punk and punk? Punk rock? What would you even call that? Pop and punk together? That's a million dollar idea. That's crazy. That would probably be fought with pedophiles.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It sure is. What? You're going to love this. Aaron Pearl wears a custom t-shirt with the words, tax the poor emblazoned across the front. Whoa. He says he was inspired to buy the shirt after a popular politician wore a similar slogan, tax the rich to the Met Gala in 2021. And that was three years ago, four years, four years ago now.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Tax the poor. Tax the poor. Yeah. It makes you think though, doesn't it? Because, Whoa. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Oh, wow. I didn't think of it that way. That's fucking, oh, crazy. Wow. Yeah, that's insane. That's crazy, man. Uh, a lot of people look at this shirt and say, how dare you? Why would you even say that?
Starting point is 00:18:48 That's scandalous said Pearl. Yeah. I don't think they're saying that scandalous. I think they're probably like looking at him and going like, Hey, mate, you're a real dumb cunt. Yeah. You're a stupid bitch. Just staring at it.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Just trying to understand like, what do you, what do you mean? What's up with your shirt? What's up with your shirt, man? Oh, are you challenged? Are you challenged? Are you mean? What's up with your shirt? What's up with your shirt, man? Oh, are you for real? Are you challenged? Are you offended? I don't think you can ask people if they're challenged anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, I'm glad to do that because of work. My response to them is, yeah, that's the point. It's obviously a joke. So much of what we see in the world is just meant to pull us apart. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean, dude? What is, how does that relate to the shirt?
Starting point is 00:19:28 What's the joke? I'll pull you apart. Yeah. You dumb fuck. Pearl's witty shirt reflects the attitude that fuels him as the songwriter, lead singer and guitarist of No No Square, a genre blending band mixing punk, pop and rock. Do you think there is any shirt in the history of the universe that would accurately and correctly be described as a witty shirt?
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yeah, the one that says iPood. We've discussed this a lot of times, iPood. Sarcasm is one of the many services I offer. Oh, that's very funny. How droll. That's quite funny. Recharging farts. Oh my.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Just get a guy that just stops you at a track and tracks about how annoying he is just like on no other kind of, on a single criteria, like, wow, this is. Yeah. Like we know nothing about this man based on what we've heard. A deeper character backstory that is way more annoying than I could have possibly imagined. It's like you've come across Ignatius Riley, just sort of like casually. He's like, oh, oh shit. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Okay. Sure. No No Square formed in 2022 with two Idaho Falls residents, Pearl and John Riley. They met and became friends through their mutual activity in the local music scene. Pearl, now 37, was born and raised in Washington. He works a day job as a drug and alcohol counselor and is currently studying social work at Idaho State University in Pocatello and an emphasis on criminal justice. Pearl hopes to pursue social work with violent psychopathic and deeply troubled individuals.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I mean, that's, yeah, but I don't think- Because he's so fucking crazy. He's the joker. Is that what the thing is? Cause it sounds like he's saying that he wants to work at our company. Yeah. I mean, I think, yeah. Sure. But I don't think you- But because he's so fucking crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:25 He's the Joker. Is that what the thing is? Cause it sounds like he's saying that he wants to work at Arkham Asylum. Yes. Yeah. That is what it sounds like. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Maybe teach the inmates there a little bit about the healing power of music. Yeah. Yes. That's what I'm talking about. I think that's what we're gonna call it. Of punk punk rock. Of punk punk rock. Punk rock pop. Yeah. Of punk pop rock.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Punk rock pop. Yep, rock. What's the no no square? No, don't worry. We'll get there. Don't tell me there's somewhere to go. I bet it's going to be a hoot. It's going to be such a hoot.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I want us to do something more from my own soul, Pearl said about starting his own band. In the very beginning, I had some inspiration to write a few songs. We wanted to do something intentional with the genre. Finding our groove took a little bit, but we figured it out. Riley also 37. Three of them are 37. 37 year old men can do anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 37 men, 37 men hold up half the sky. 37 year old men can start a pop punk band. We will name those 37 men at the end of the episode. The teenagers stay the same age though. Yeah, they do. Riley, also 37, originally from New Jersey, Moonlights, is a comedian. His contributions to the band include bass guitar and creating social media content on multiple platforms.
Starting point is 00:22:50 They welcomed the drummer of the band, Joe Peterson, the 37, an Idaho Falls native. The trio started booking shows at local venues. They released one studio album in 2022 written and produced by Pearl called Your Body My Choice. Oh, that's nasty. That's really gross. That's unbelievably fucking gross. That's no good. That's, that's had a bit of a revival lately, hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:23:15 Oh, but he's sort of taken that saying and he's turned it on his head without thinking, Hey, should I turn this on his head or should I maybe just leave it kind of feet planted on the ground? Just, yeah. We have tried to bring a sense of humor in response to the political and social climate facing young people, said Peterson. This is the problem, isn't it? This is the problem though, that reactionaries aren't funny.
Starting point is 00:23:40 They don't know what's funny. So what's the joke? So what's the joke? Is rape funny? Oh my God. Can he say that? That's wild. So what's the joke? So what's the joke? The joke is, rape's funny. Oh my God, can he say that? That's so wild. Can't believe we've been so divided. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Uh, we don't offer any solutions, just funky baselines and a good time. That actually was our slogan for a little while, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Yeah. I think they've taken it from us. I think somebody else taken it from us. Joe Peterson, if I see you, it's on site. I'm going to come and shoot you in the back of the head.
Starting point is 00:24:12 If you're listening. I'm sort of, you're sort of inverting a sort of a classic thing by shooting him in the head and so you're sort of making people go, oh. Actually, we're so politically divided. Interesting. The name NoNoSquare is a humorous nod to an online meme that became popular in 2020 as a way to teach kids about personal boundaries and body autonomy. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Is it? Okay. Look, it's obviously that that's what it means if you look at the words, but it's not really what you named your bed, is it? Is, is it? Is it? Yeah. Oh, so these guys are like, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:53 It's like how they teach kids to have bodily boundaries. The no-no square is like, don't let people touch you here. Yeah. I probably wouldn't make jokes about like, um, sexual molestation of children. If I was in a pop punk band, just personally. Yeah. I probably wouldn't, I would try to do it in like any context. Not even as a joke.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Maybe. The original meaning of no no square is not the message we are trying to convey Pearl explained. What'd you call your name? What'd you call your band? What did you call your band? It sounds bad as well. For us, it means to respect personal space and respect others in emotional and political and ideological ways.
Starting point is 00:25:36 The name in and of itself is supposed to promote healthy relationships. What? How? In what way? They should just like make it mandatory or whatever. Someone says something like that to just say, Hey, expand on that. Yeah. I actually love this because the journalist has been like, Hey, can you explain, can you explain the joke? What's funny about it?
Starting point is 00:25:56 What's funny? What's no, no square? Like, Oh, actually, well, you think it's actually about kind of like sexual exploitation of children. And it is. Yes. And in a way it is. But very literal way it is, but don't we all just take ourselves too seriously?
Starting point is 00:26:15 And also I think it's bad. I named, I named my band, I suck Hitler's cock every night. Isn't it really funny. This is such like a cringe metal band thing to do. It's such a cringy thing to name your band. Like I suck Hitler's cock every night. Like why are you doing this in the, in the pop punk scene? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And it's like anal cunt already did it. So what are you left with? Why don't you call yourself something like Bombay bicycle club? Yeah, exactly. You can't go anywhere from anal cunt. Like where you've hit it. Yeah. You've hit it.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah. Yes. Just call yourself British India. Yeah. Yeah. Calling a band British India. Call yourselves Eve Klein Blue. You know, something like that.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Something like that. Yeah. Call yourself the Strokes. Call yourself Julian Casablanca's. Yeah. Pearl said the band's first album is partly a response to authoritarian overtones of the global COVID pandemic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 All right. That's a new, that's a, yeah. That's a twist. Yeah. So maybe your body, my choice was actually about vaccines. I don't know if that makes it any better. Oh shit. It's about vaccines.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's, it's stupid in a different way. Yeah. It's stupid in a different way. Also, you don't have to take the vaccine as well. You just don't. There was like nothing you had to do with America basically. No one was holding you down. Definitely not in Idaho.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I'm pretty sure this guy's, this guy's not even from Idaho. He's from somewhere else, from Washington. Yeah. From Washington. I don't know, man. From woke Bellingham, Washington. So yeah. Also like a million people in America died from, from COVID as well.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Kind of, kind of just forgetting that like million and a half people died from COVID. Masks are gay. Yeah. I think these guys should have died. Don't make me wear your gay mask when I go to see a major league baseball game. Okay. Get the fuck out of my life. Got to write a pop punk song about this.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Our society is made up of two groups, the people and the people in power. I mean, that's true. Yes. Sometimes the people in charge like to take that power and notoriety for themselves. That's when all of us need to come together because if we're driven apart, then society collapses. But when we come together, we take the power back and use it, we become a stronger society. I kind of think if like a bunch of people die in a way that's like really tragic and like takes people of all ages, that's probably maybe something that might be like collapsing society.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I don't know. Yeah. More, more so than having to wear a mask. Also, what does any of this have to do with tax the poor? Oh, tax the poor because that's, yeah, we kind of let in with the shirt, didn't we? Yeah. Pretty profound. Now that we have the full context of this guy's beliefs.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I hate that, um, that there's like, there is two kinds of people that will say that there's a bunch of people in power and, you know, it's then there's the rest of us and we need to take that power back and it can either mean like, yes, we do need a sort of a class consciousness or it can mean like, there's like 10 Jews. Yeah. Yeah. They control everything.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And you never know which one it is. Yeah. Well, there's, yeah, there's, there's like 10 Jews. Yeah. Yeah. They control everything. And often- Yeah, you never know which one it is. Yeah. Well, there's, yeah, there's, there's 12. That's what the J in MJ12 stands for. If you saw a guy wearing a, a tax the poor shirt, you'd have a moment of going, and sometimes you'd react exactly the same way to seeing a nude man. It's time for Nude Man Watch.
Starting point is 00:29:53 This is from WMTW in Maine. Naked mud covered man with rifle found after search in Oxford County. Hey, has anyone seen a naked mud covered man? Well, there's the guy that lives in my crawl space, but I see him those days. A 34 year old man was taken to the hospital for evaluation Monday evening after walking out of the woods naked and carrying a rifle in Oxford County. Yeah. Is that not allowed?
Starting point is 00:30:18 I mean, you just want to check a few things, I think. Is it technically illegal? Is this an open carry state? Can you just want to check a few things, I think. Is it technically illegal? Is this an open carry state? Can you not be naked with a gun? I think you can have a gun, but not a dangling... You can't be hanging dong. I guess you can't be hanging dong. Freedom of expression?
Starting point is 00:30:37 Or is that... Oh, as the founders intended? I think... First Amendment puzzle cutout for hanging dog. I think you could argue that the constitution allows for it. I wonder if it is nudity, freedom of expression. USA maybe. Non obscene, but indecent language and nudity may be curtailed with the time of day and other circumstances
Starting point is 00:31:05 determining the extent of curtailment. So no. So it's not, it's not explicitly protected. Yeah. Protected. That's interesting. It's suppressing our medicine. I hate when people curtail my nudity.
Starting point is 00:31:22 The unusual incident began around 2.45 PM when workers on Knights Hill road in Sweden. I guess this is Sweden, Maine. Oh, we're just... Sweden, Maine. Sorry. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm so sick of this shit. What do you mean in Sweden?
Starting point is 00:31:36 Well, it kind of looks a bit like Sweden in Maine, I assume, right? A lot of Nordic types over there. The rugged coastline. Quite boreal. Yeah. This man loves describing places as boreal. Just boreal places. Sometimes it's the right word for the job. Workers on Night Hill Road in Sweden reported that a naked mud-covered man approached him with a rifle, claiming his friend had been shot.
Starting point is 00:32:00 He then disappeared back into the woods. Yeah. Oh, that's terrifying. This is his friend. Yeah. Oh, that's terrifying. Yeah. He's dead friend that got shot by someone else. I'm off to get the creature. Goodbye. I will have my vengeance and return.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I am just letting you know as a courtesy. This guy has cow voice by the way. He's been in the wild so long. Local and state officials responded quickly, closing nearby roads and asking residents of the area to stay inside while they searched the woods. Yeah. It just doesn't happen really outside of like eighties movies. Go on door to door saying you got to stay inside.
Starting point is 00:32:40 There's something out there. Something wrong. Something wrong in the woods. If someone came to my door and said that I would stay inside. Yeah. It's terrifying. He says, is he a monster? And they said, no, he's just a man fell on harder times than you'd know.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Drones, dogs and other equipment were used to help track the man. It's awesome. You got drone pilots out there looking for a nude mud covered man in the main woods of Sweden. Pretty distinctive looking. I guess that's helpful. A little tracker on the, uh, on the top down map label NM. Oh, he's headed to the beast layer.
Starting point is 00:33:22 After several hours around 7.30 PM, the man who previously lived in Cambridge, Maine was found at a nearby home. He had minor injuries to his feet and he was taken to Bridgerton Hospital for a mental health evaluation. Probably, probably a good idea. Yeah, probably. Officials found a high powered pellet gun at the house, along with clothing and personal items scattered throughout the woods.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Authorities say they do not believe anyone else was involved and there's no threat to the public. No criminal charge has been filed, but the investigation is still ongoing. You don't think he found his friend? Something happened out there in the woods. Yeah. All that cold and all that dark. They're not telling you.
Starting point is 00:34:01 The police don't want you to know what happened. Yeah. But out there, it's not just the wolves that are howling tonight. Yeah. They're not telling you, the police don't want you to know what happened. Yeah. But out there, it's not just the wolves that are howling tonight. Yeah. Wolf and man by Metallica. Listen to it. It's real. It's a true story.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I, he, something got shot. Yeah. Something or someone. Like somebody got shot. Probably look into it. Maybe it was like a twisted reflection of himself. Maybe he's a werewolf. I'm, I think it's giving werewolf.
Starting point is 00:34:30 What's that dick like? He was out there staying in the woods to like, to keep everyone else safe. That's why his clothes were being like torn off because he went off mode. Yeah. Or he took them off beforehand because he doesn't want to have to go to the shops. Yeah. Nude. Yeah. Probably. You probably take them off first. They're doing want to have to go to the shops. Yeah. Nude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Probably. You probably take them off first. They're doing the no country for all men thing. So you'd get nude and you'd sit there and just wait for the moon to come out and you'd just be sitting there nude in the woods. But. Yeah. So weird right up until you started turning into a werewolf.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Yeah. Said moonrise was maybe 907. Looking at your, looking at your app, your moon app. Yeah. Looking at your moon app and your limp shriveled cold Peter Scott coming on to a werewolf cock. Come on. And if you'd like to hear more about werewolf cocks, check out our most recent
Starting point is 00:35:16 bonus episode, we learned a bunch of stuff. If you thought maybe there was a terrifying beast in those woods and you didn't find one in there, perhaps you might consider yourself to have been scammed. We talk about scams in Scam Watch. Warning! Warning! Someone has successfully or unsuccessfully attempted a scam and must be judged. This is Scam Watch. This was sent into us by listener Sean. How good is that? We have two stories submitted by listeners that managed to fit our rigorous criteria.
Starting point is 00:35:51 That's a great week for us. They're learning. Yeah, sometimes you have to be, this is like whiplash. Sometimes you have to be harsh. Is that the moral of whiplash? Is that what the guy did was good? The guy did was right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Who made that guy kill himself? Yeah, and then in the end he like, looks back at his teacher going, Yeah, what do you fucking reckon now? I play drops like a demon now, thank you. Yeah, you pork pie hat wearing little bitch. Watch me on the skins and tubs. Oh, I'm playing jazz so fast it sounds unpleasant. Isn't this awesome?
Starting point is 00:36:24 It's a really good movie. Oh, I'm playing jazz so fast. It sounds unpleasant. Isn't this awesome? It's a really good movie. Uh, this is sitting by listening. Sean, this comes to us from WHTM in Pennsylvania. Camp Hill woman charged after allegedly making, canceling hundreds of false hotel reservations. What's the crime? Yeah. Well, inconveniencing a hotel.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah. Yeah. Well, inconveniencing a hotel? Yeah. Minor inconvenience in the first degree. A woman was accused Tuesday of making hundreds of reservations at a Cumberland County hotel and then canceling them by canceling the fraudulent reservations. Taryn Dixon, 52, of Camp Hill, that is T-A-R-Y-N, Dixon. It's really an Australian coded name.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Very Australian coded name. It is. Like Taryn's like a, she's like a senior vet nurse and she's a lesbian and she drives a Pajero. Yes. She is a registered nurse. Yeah. And she's like the favorite auntie of like a whole mess of kids.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah. Speedhub. When are you going to get a husband? And she goes, you little dick. favorite auntie of like a whole mess of kids. She's a speed ham. When are you gonna get a husband? And she goes, ha ha ha ha, you little dick, piss off you little shit head. Who wants to drive the car?
Starting point is 00:37:32 I'm drunk. Every family's got a Taryn. Everyone loves auntie Taryn. She's crazy. Taryn allegedly cost the hotel thousands of dollars because the no show fee was only a percentage of the reservation price, the criminal complaint filed by the Cumberland County district attorney's office states. I feel like we've missed a few steps here.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Yeah. What? So we've gone straight into maths. Yeah. Which is not good for us. So they, they're out of money because she paid the no show fee, but it doesn't cover the cost of the room, which is just the reservation fee. Why did she reserve them?
Starting point is 00:38:13 And then why did she reserve? Like, but then she paid. And how many? Uh, thousands? Lots. Um, Dixon is accused of booking more than 400 rooms in 2025 at the comfort suites. That's 400 so far this year. That's a really funny thing to do.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Just sit on your phone and book hotel rooms and then not show up. Can I get a twin double for tomorrow night please? Can I get the penthouse please? Actually you know what? Never mind. I'm sick. Just doing different voices. Sick of not having a hotel room.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Oh here we go. Do you guys have anything in a king suite? Never mind. I'm sick. Just doing different voices. Sick of not having a hotel room. Oh, here we go. Do you guys have anything in a king suite? My name is... Do you guys have our eight king suites? How about Jay Simpson? I need eight king suites for me and all my associates. Actually you know what?
Starting point is 00:38:57 Perhaps not. Never mind. I've changed my mind. Wait a second. Hold on. The wind is blowing in a different direction, me thinks. Can I have ten king sweets for myself and my associates? Dare I?
Starting point is 00:39:11 Oh wait, no cancel that, I don't think I shall. Oh, never mind. Oh hang on, I'm getting a text message. Oh, it looks like I shall require twenty runes. I will be paying the break fee by the way. I shan't be coming. Dixon is accused of booking more than 400 rooms in 2025 at Comfort Suites located along Hanover Street in Carlisle, the complaint shows. The manager reported that in January, 2025, 44 different reservations were billed under Dickson's credit cards.
Starting point is 00:39:47 She's still giving them money. Still giving them money. She's giving them money. This is one hotel. Did she used to work here or something? This is weird. There's beef. There's got to be beef here.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah. Deep beef, long-term beef. But it's Pyrrhic beef. Pyrrhic beef. Yeah, this beef is so Pyrrhic. It's cooking them both. Oh, it's so, this beef is so Piric. It's cooking them both. Oh, it's so Peloponnesian.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Oh, Peloponnesian beef. It's a real Peloponnesian victory, as they say. Dixon claimed the rooms were bought as Christmas gifts. However, the recipients were not aware of the reservations. Yeah. I'd like to book a hotel room for my brother-in-law. Oh, don't worry. All my friends.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He shan't be coming. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I don't understand. Tara, knock it off. Okay. I won't do it again. Have you guys got anything available tomorrow night? I'm having a party. I need 64 rooms. Every room in the hotel. Oh, sorry. I've just received some news. I shan't be coming. 4.37 AM.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Back from more room reservations. On booking.com. 3 AM. 4.38. Going back from more room reservations. On booking.com. 3 AM. 4.38 going back from more cancellations. One of those fraudulent reservations was made under the Carlisle borough police chief, Taro Landis' name. The complaint shows. That's really funny.
Starting point is 00:41:22 That's a really funny thing to do. She's got maybe like... I just want him to sleep well. This might be municipal beef maybe. Not just the beef of Hella Carnassus or whatever. Oh never mind. He won't be coming. It'd be so funny to just wait until the credit card charge has gone through and then say
Starting point is 00:41:46 that you're cancelling right after it and the deposit is down. I should be coming. The police chief has an audience with the Pope. I've just had words that he's taken in. He will require two rooms. Oh, we have one for the Pope. What's the best room you have for a Pope? The Pope shan't be coming.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Oh, the Pope's sweet. The Pope's quite ill. He shan't be coming. Another fraudulent reservation was made under the name of the county's former top prosecutor, Merle Ebert. We are getting some great fucking names. Oh, Merle Ebert. We are getting some great fucking names. Merle Ebert. Where are we?
Starting point is 00:42:29 What state are we in? Pennsylvania. I'm in a state of delight hearing these names. That's right. Yeah. Taryn Dixon, Merle Ebert, and Tarro Landis. Tarro Landis. Tarro Landis.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Sorry. Another forges that reservation was made on name. The county's former top prosecutor, Merle Ebert, who died in 2024. When asked if she knew about Ebert's passing, Dixon allegedly said, quote, you mean his demise? And by the way, he won't be coming. Ah, I'm just receiving news. He's dead. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I shall release the room. Although I do have another friend coming to town. Ah, he's not coming. Due to the cancelled reservations, the host- the hotel has lost upward of $2,000. Oh my God. Hell, on what? But they've also made the money of the cancellation fee.
Starting point is 00:43:34 She's lost money. You've got to lose a bunch of money. You've lost $2,000. Yeah. Why don't you just put up the reservation fee? Or like, what guarantee is there that a hotel in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania was going to be full every given night? Yeah, I don't think they're technically losing money.
Starting point is 00:43:51 It's not like that room could have gone to someone else. It can't be that busy. Yeah, objection, speculation. Your shit sets up wrong. Dixon was arrested and arraigned in April 2025 and as a bail condition, she was not allowed to make reservations within a 200 mile radius of Carlisle. 200 miles? 200 miles!
Starting point is 00:44:09 What an insane punishment! This is fucking crazy! What framework of law lets you ban people from making hotel reservations within a specified radius around a town? She hasn't done anything technically wrong. She paid the cancellation fee. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Is what's the crime? She needs to get a good lawyer. This is fine. Yeah. The following weekend, investigators said she continued to make more reservations. 96 of them in one weekend. She's the Joker. I think she might be.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Hello, I need 96 rooms for this evening. They shan't be coming. No, I believe you've already got my credit card on file. Yes, I believe you have my card on file. Dixon, Tarrant, yes. The Baltimore Orioles are coming to stay, one room each. Oh, it went through? They shan't be coming! They have a game to play elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:45:13 They're busy playing Major League Baseball. They shan't be coming. Dixon faces multiple felony charges of theft and unlawful use of a computer along with misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief. I mean, get a good lawyer, babe. Yeah. Mischief. Yes. Criminal mischief? Maybe?
Starting point is 00:45:42 I don't know. That's a hard one. You can be charged's using the computer? You can be charged with using the computer badly? Use of the computer wrong in a way that people don't like? And that's illegal in America? That's illegal? You can't do that?
Starting point is 00:45:54 You can't? What theft? What is the- she's not like making any money back from this. She's paying money for nothing. I don't- Why is she doing this? this. She's paying money for nothing. I don't... Why is she doing this? No, there's no way that this is like an arbitrage scam of some kind or something, right?
Starting point is 00:46:13 There's, cause... So she costs the hotel thousands of dollars cause the no show fee is only a percentage of the reservation price. So that's, they're just saying the difference between the amount of money they could have made on the hotel room versus the amount of money they did get. That's not fucking theft. That's what you could have made. That's not what you did make. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 This is bullshit. This is like the piracy kind of, kind of maths, right? If everyone who pirated a copy of our podcast would have subscribed. Yes. Yeah. You actually owe us $15 million. We would actually owe us one million dollars. Millionaires. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:46:47 This is, I think you guys need to get your fucking systems on lock. You know what the problem is? It's that they've automatically signed up with like hotels.com, booking.com, Travago, fucking- Yeah. Cause it's make it easier for them. All of those, like the 30 different websites that all charge very slightly different prices for the same reservation type thing.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And yet we won't see any of the white collar professionals from those companies in jail anytime soon. Yes. Yeah. We'll just see Taryn in jail. Because we're a nation divided and by we I mean America. Yeah. It's us and the people that work at booking.com. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Let's get him. Let's get him. Let's get him. Let's get him. She is locked up in Cumberland County prison with her bail senator combined $102,000 by Maddie. What? Jail? Yeah. Well for-
Starting point is 00:47:35 Get her out of there. For what? For what? For what? For what? For what? For making a light turn on on a screen and then turn off again? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:44 How could something that abstract? Booking.com? This is fucked. I don't agree with this at all. I think what she's doing is insane, but I think she's probably got a good reason. But harmless. Have you considered asking her why she was doing it? Just like asking?
Starting point is 00:47:58 Yeah, maybe that's the problem. Maybe it's the fact that no one... We make assumptions about each other instead of just asking and assuming makes it ass out of you and me. Yes. And it puts Taryn Dixon in jail for using the computer. She just thought it was very funny to do. I shan't be coming hundreds Hundreds of times in a month.
Starting point is 00:48:26 She's in jail. She gets her phone call. Hello, I'd like 2000 rooms please. Oh, I cannot attend. I'm in jail. I shan't be coming. I'm in jail. I shan't be coming.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I think the mayor would like a hotel room though. Oh, that's gone through. The mayor's not coming. The police are trying to work out how she keeps booking the rooms. She's got a guy. She's got a guy in the mail room. She's got a guy on the outside, yeah. She's using her tin cup against the bars to morse code hotel
Starting point is 00:49:02 reservations to someone on the outside with a phone. Yeah, same same hotel as last time. Yes. Yes. Yep. King room. Gotcha. Oh, cancel. Tell them you won't be coming. Yes, she says you won't be coming. I don't know if this next one is a one that we should finish the episode on, but hey, you know, sometimes there's just something that you need to chat about. We chat about that. Chat about that in Stuff We Should Chat About.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Here comes some stuff we should chat about. Stuff we should chat about. Book a list of stuff to chat about. Stuff we should chat about. Here comes some more stuff to chat about. We're chatting about snooze Yeah baby Okay, so you guys know how like, um, we're all gonna die one day.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Oh boy, do I. Not me. Not me. Okay, well, how most people are all gonna die one day. Millions now living will never die. But yeah. Like most people. How most people are all going to die one day. Millions now living will never die. That's something that I believe. Oh. Okay, so you know, like we're all going to die. I don't know about you guys, but my personal belief, so there's sort of, there's nothing
Starting point is 00:50:16 really eternal about the soul or consciousness or whatever. So that'll just sort of like wink out. I would say that my mind is sort of latched on that. Maybe to four hours a day. Yes. Yeah me too. Actually this ruins my life pretty often Which is the thing which is the only thing you have by the way so if you were if you were really like interested in like, you know being happy or that sort of stuff you probably just Stop thinking about all that Reading a thing once that said that paracetamol actually helps treat existential dread.
Starting point is 00:50:49 What? Uh, this has definitely received wisdom. Oh my goodness. Paracetamol. It's not a joke. Existential dread. Yeah. That's bad for your liver.
Starting point is 00:51:00 So it's sort of my brain versus my liver. Oh, this is interesting. This is from the nursing times popping. Paracetamol could also treat emotional pain in this study. Emotional pain also referred to as existential dread was taken to be distress experienced during perceived threats to our existence or worldview. Yeah. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:20 You know what? Emotional pain is real pain. That's why it treats it. Dread is like alcohol, drugs, morphine. Yeah. Just a lot of things really. There's a lot of opioids. There's a lot of options. You got options. Yeah. All right. Well, so this is kind of what I'm talking about. Maybe not the drugs part. So we're all going to die at one point.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Consciousness weeks out. No continuation. We'll have no memory of any of events that took place. Yeah. Synapses. stop firing and with it. Yeah so your consciousness may may as well have never have existed except okay so you've got the argument that like the stuff you do in your life has an impact on the people around you right you can make their lives better by existing and that's like even though you won't be around to experience it um you can have like a positive legacy, like your life will have had an impact. Right, but so all of those people that you've had an impact on also die, no consciousness,
Starting point is 00:52:14 that's gone, no memories, no nothing. But then you know, you can do the flow and effects of, well those people will have helped people, so you know, you're part of that web. Sort of, yeah, your deeds ripple through time. Yeah. Except like, we're probably at some point, the human race is going to be entirely gone. Like the last ever human will die at some point, 10,000, 20,000 years from now, 10 years, probably not that long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like due to some sort of planetary crisis or, you know, who knows, something's probably going to happen. So then all memory of any sort of human experience at all is just gone entirely
Starting point is 00:52:54 erased from the universe. And if there's nothing else conscious in the universe, no other like, no alien life forms, there'll be nothing to experience the universe at all. So why is it? Just why is it like, why is it like that? Why? Yeah, why would the like if there's nothing to experience the universe sort of like what? What is? Because personally, when I die, I'm joining the collective consciousness. I'm the water drop in the ocean of collective consciousness. So I'm not like, yeah, I'm not so worried about it.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Oh, that sounds nice. That sounds really good. Yeah. Yeah. I think just personally for me, that's that's kind of my part. Yeah. Well, you. It's such a cool. That's such a cool belief to have ended up in the great, like, belief rock shaker of life with, because I just got handed out sort of like. I got nothing. Yeah. it sort of ends in them yeah I that's that's it forever for like the first half of my life I had the very comforting thought that because I believed in God and I had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that I
Starting point is 00:54:00 would get to spend eternity in paradise so that this the things happening in life honestly not that big a deal because head to spend eternity in paradise. So that this, the things happening in life, honestly, not that big a deal. Because- Compared to an eternity in paradise. The eternity in paradise, you know, the stuff that happens now is just kind of like, yep, this is good for building the spirit and lets me develop my personal relationship,
Starting point is 00:54:16 Jesus Christ, but that next part's going to be fucking amazing and it will go on forever. Yeah. And so now I have like nothing and it feels like shit. Yeah. Right. So now I have like nothing. And it feels like shit. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So yeah. Have you guys got any? Oh, oh, something people say that stuff makes life more precious something people seem to say that kind of stuff. But then it's like, well, what's the point of life if I'm thinking about my mortality and it doesn't really matter and nothing that I do in this life matters and it doesn't really matter and nothing that I
Starting point is 00:54:45 do in this life matters and it won't have any effect on anyone else. And eventually human consciousness will cease to exist and then the planet will be here and it'll be beautiful, but there'll be no one here to experience it or remember us and what we did. Yeah. There'll be like a massively infinite universe, like full of wonders and beauty beyond comprehension, but it won't be being comprehended. So it'll be sort of happening, but like, to what end?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Is an empty universe playing out its clockwork mechanics in a beauty of spirals and patterns for billions of years, trillions of years, but like, no one's around to see it. Is it kind of meaningful at all? You want us to solve this mystery? Just because I've been thinking about it a bit, it would be like really nice if you guys could like No one's around to see it, kind of like, why? Is it kind of meaningful at all? So you want us to solve this mystery? Just because I've been thinking about it a bit, it would be really nice if you guys could put a neat little bow on it, an idea that would kind of make me feel okay about it. Like, jacking off? Yeah, I was also thinking about jacking off.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Yeah, that's good for a little while. And then it comes back shortly afterwards, I think is kind of the problem. Oh, right. Rush comes rushing back. Keeps the wolf from the door and then... Gooning, maybe? Is that why they do it? Maybe that's why they do it. Because you're gooning for so long. You're not thinking about your own death.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. The other day, you know, I was in such a situation. And then the dread set in. I've got to tell you, very distracting. The dread set in mid-Jack-Off? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know it could do that. I didn't know it could do that either. You say that nothing in this universe can stop it from happening?
Starting point is 00:56:16 If even jacking off doesn't work. Within the salt circle of jacking your pork. With the iron in your book. With the iron in your pocket of masturbating. Glad we sorted that one out. Thank you so much for listening to the podcast. Bota Vista, if you have any solutions to just not really understanding the point of any of this, but don't like, I know all the truisms and I know some of the sort of the religious arguments pretty well.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I need something that like works. Yeah. Like I need a guarantee or like an explanation for everything. Like I can sometimes trick myself sometimes that if I watch a moving enough movie or like a good enough book where I'm like, yeah, you know, it is just the fact that we get to do it and then it's over. But then before what is kind of, you know, if like ultimately it's all for nothing. Like an Ethan Hawke YouTube clip.
Starting point is 00:57:14 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it is meaningful. What we do is meaningful because like he's really hot when he says it. So it's like, whatever he says, I'm like, I'm totally. Immediately, whenever I try and calm myself about these things, I'm thinking of him and Julie Delpy in the before movies talking to each other about life and being like, yeah, there probably is something. I could trick myself into having woo-woo beliefs for sure. If like two hot people in life.
Starting point is 00:57:36 I just think about Ethan Hawke. Yeah. Yeah. But start jacking off and then. Exactly. It goes away. But then, then it comes back, it comes back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:44 You forget. Sometimes worse depending on what. It comes back. You forget. Sometimes worse, depending on what happened during the jack-off session. Thank you for joining us.

No, I think they tell you that after like 30, you have to start jacking off. Yeah, otherwise you can't prostate cancer.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Oh, because of your prostate or something. People with prostates, I should say. Women have to jack off too, I'm sure. There's some thing. Does something to the pipes. Gotta clear the pipes out. Gotta clear the pipes out. It's like taking the car for a run sometimes.
