Welcome to Budavista episode 131. I'm Andrew. I am here with our friend who we haven't seen for a while. It's a dear sweet beautiful friend, Lucy. That's me. Look, you've been off galvanting with each other. We just wasn't there. We've been a co-locating. We've been

we've been hot-desking with each other. All that kind of thing. Yep. I've been right here in the very same city as our sweet boy Theo. Hey Theo. Hey, how you going? I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. I mean, as people know, I have been up in Brisbane just escaping the bushfire smoke for a couple of weeks. I'm sure people are kind of aware of the bushfires by now. They've been in the news a little bit. We have mentioned it once or twice on the show, I think.

We have. People will probably also know about my now wild habit of checking the air I think. We have, we have. People will probably also know about my now wild habit of checking the air quality index for a camera every single day as soon as I wake up. I want to see how much particulates in the air today and today was the first day in a very long time that I've seen the air stations rated as not only good but two of them is very good. In the blue. What's very good? Is that like exceptionally good? It's got that sweet air. Yep, nice and clean. And that's good because that beautiful clean air was able to carry a devastating hailstorm with golf ball size, well cricket ball, some people were saying size hailstones. It's too big. I'm just going to say it, too big.

And I was trying to figure out what part of camera is this storm hitting. And as I looked at like Twitter, where all the pictures and stuff were rolling in, and it seemed to be every part of Camper, simultaneously, just getting absolutely trashed by this thing. There were videos coming in of like, like, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. by this thing. There were videos coming in of like Parliament House and Like the northern suburbs and the southern suburbs and like shots of all of Lake Burley Griffin getting like these massive hailstones dumped into it. And then all the reports of all the damage and stuff started coming in. It looks like basically most cars that were outside in the city have just been totaled. Just massive hail damage and all their windows smashed in.

Oh my god, Scott Morrison's gonna love this. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. Absolutely. Friend of the show, wife of the show, I should say, Dave was posting some pictures of all of the holes through the roof of his Pagola and how now it looks like there's a disco ball in there with all of the light shining through. Other friend of the show, Liam, his car just had the back window just completely blown

out. So yeah, we're up here of course, trying to have our little escape. And now we're going, oh, I wonder what's happened to our house. And our neighbors have been over there and sent us some pictures and said, oh, there's a broken window in your garage. And we're like, already broken. They've been going around and pointing things out. And we're like, oh, that was already like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. they. they. they. thi. th. their, we're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. t try. t try. t try. te. try. te. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. s out and we're like, ah, that was already like that. So, we've got like one cracked window and like a damaged section of the deck that was

already damaged. It's just now completely shredded. Whereas my parents, who are also up here, have just been getting photos from the neighbors of like water pouring down the stairs and stuff, taken from outside like through the windows by the front door because no one can get in the house. Cool stuff. Glad the weather is back to normal. Well, it sounds bad, but like when you take the bushfires and then this hail and then you

just sort of like average it all out on like a line. The line's sort of somewhere th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th take the bushfires and then this hail and then you just sort of like average it all out on like a line The line's sort of somewhere near good Which is really where you want it to be there's also like thousands of people online Just like I think I think you'll find a hail at this time of you is actually just perfectly normal and and cool So on the whole we really don't have much to worry about apart from you know the absolute property the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ti the the the the the the of. of. of. of. of. the of. the the of. the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi's thi's thi's thi. thi's thi's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thin's th is sort is sort is sort is sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 line is somewhere. the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is somewhere. thi whole, we really don't have much to worry about apart from, you know, the absolute property damage and the way that everything just seems to be like seesawing manically between extremes. It's good to me, and I'm actually smiling when I think about it.

As we all know, more like global cooling, because ice is cold. See, that changed the name of global warming is because they realize they were wrong about it. I read this on the internet the other day. You can take that to the bank. Well, Andrew Bolt, News Corp columnist, Andrew Bolt, does love to stick with that type of, well, this place had an unseasonably huge snowstorm. So how about that, leftists? Fuck, you got me. So, yeah, very cool, very cool stuff. Very nice to just feel for a moment there, like things were back to normal and we could just go home and it would be normal

when another big-time psycho weather event has destroyed the city. So that's pretty nifty and we figured in that vein that we might have a little update, just a little update on the bushfire type things that have been happening in the news. There was this delightfully horrifying story from the Australian about a woman named Samantha Nishore who was trying to protect her house around New Eve so that was around the same time that I was stuck in Sussex Inlet with all fires around there and she had to just strap on her scuba gear and get into the pool. Oh my god. And sink down to and get into the pool. Oh my God.

And sink down to the bottom of the pool, she didn't have goggles or a mask, so she couldn't see anything that was happening. And just had to stay down the bottom. All she could see was flames above her house and just the rest of the sky blacked out with smoke. That's hell. And you were describing hell. Imagine, yeah, the only way that you can avoid burning to death is to be completely

submerged in water. I will say it makes her sound extremely cool. So there's, there's your bright side. It does. There's more than one movie where somebody has to like dive underwater while there's a big explosion and Like stay underwater while the explosion happens and I say that this this lady is an action movie hero the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger. So luckily luckily she was safe She had enough oxygen in her tank to last her an hour underwater.

I'm glad it didn't have to be any longer than that because frankly, even a few minutes of it sounds pretty terrible. I'm glad she had scuba gear. Just on hand. Very lucky. Well, I think that's what they're talking it or that's too hard or expensive or you know that would mean us like believing in it but what we should do is dig everyone a pool, give everyone scuba gear and you sort it. You just any time that like a

massive just like city raising fire comes through just pop on into the pool put your scuba gear on, have a lovely little tropical holiday at the bottom of your pool while your whole world burns down. Put a little, maybe a little like flamingo or like maybe some fake coral or something down there. Give you something to look at while you're thinking about all your possessions and all that's stuff. You know, you, various ferrets that sort of stuff, you know, your various ferrets

that you might have that are still in the house, all that sort of thing. Just have a think about that while you're in the scuba tank in your pool and it'll be fine you pop up after an hour all good, ready to start again. Disrupt, disrupt the paradigm, just innovation. Change your way of thinking. Yeah it sounds like a nightmare. I that. I. I. I. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. that. that. that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's the. thi thi thi. It's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that innovation. Change your way of thinking. Yeah, it sounds like a nightmare. I wonder what kind of temperature the water was. Would be nice, a nice like mid-30s. Nice and tasty, I'm sure.

Yeah, whether she was in there experiencing like the frog in a pot type thing. Oh my goodness. Seems to slowly be getting slightly warmer. I love living in hell. It's super nice to think about. Makes my brain feel so good. Yeah. So shout out to that lady for being a real life action hero.

Stay and safe. Good to see. Another thing that was going on that I'm sure people saw footage of was the absolutely inexplicable decision to keep people playing at the Australian open. So yeah, like, like, properly hazardous levels of bushfire smoke. Definitely at the point where health professionals had been on the radio and on TV for weeks before they're saying, don't go outside and exercise. Yeah, or outside at all if you can help it. Yeah, don't do anything for any sustained period outside. There'd been a lot of, because all this happened around New Year's Eve, there had been like,

doctors on, on like the radio saying, hey, if you're like trying to start off a whole New Year's fitness regime or whatever, you've committed to going for runs and that kind of thing. Maybe just stay inside and do some sit-ups or whatever. Please don't do this thing right now. But instead they said, hey, what if we got a bunch of elite tennis players to do a bunch of really hard cardio and smoke while a bunch of idiots sat there and watched them? So at least one player had to retire all together with breathing problems and another one just went, nope. I will be stopping my game now, with air quality in Melbourne dropping to the worst in the world overnight.

Slovenia's Dalila Jakupovic, or possibly Povitch, I'm really not sure. Suffered a coughing fit halfway through her qualifying match against Switzerland's Stephanie Vogel, maybe, at Melton Park, which forced her to retire, she says, quote, I was really scared that I would collapse. That's why I went on the floor because I couldn't walk anymore, she said, adding, I don't have asthma and I've never had breathing problems. It's really like a new level of just pretending that everything's normal and okay, right? Like, just like, like all the efforts that we've got, the tens of millions of dollars that we're kind of pouring into, like ads for tourism immediately after this. It's really just like different versions of pretending that everything's okay when actually you might die from doing this. Stop doing this. Well America I believe America has been issuing

like those travel advisory warnings and saying don't fly into Sydney or Melbourne unless you absolutely have to and of course the government's priority. Usually they just have that warning for Sydney. But I think the government's priority has just been like begging and pleading with them to not do that because it affects tourism. The most important thing of all. Sweet bit of tourism. So yeah, there was also a match with former world number one Maria Sharapova against Germany's Laura Siegman, and it was called off after officials decided the smoke was creating unsafe

conditions. The former Wimbled and finalist Eugene Bouchard also called several medical timeouts in her opening match. Great stuff. Just impossible to exist in. There's a little fun fact to exist in. There's a little fun fact to go along with that. Overnight in that evening, firefighters were called to 200 false alarms triggered by the smoke

haze. Oh my God. Jesus. There was still 16 fires burning in Victoria, which claimed four lives and destroyed 353 homes. Fires have been burning in the state since November. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Wow, covering up for the thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous thous the thous the thous the thous the thous the thousands thousands thousands thousands 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 thoes thous thous. thousands thousands thousands thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands. tho-a. to to to to to Mainly caused by dry lightning from thunderstorms. Wow, covering up for the thousands of arsonists that have been arrested, are we?

I think Andrew will actually find that it's a directed energy weapon from the UN to clear a path for the high-speed rail. Well, that's a new one. Didn't know we were getting something out of it. Yeah. Well, I mean, if you check, the path that the high-speed rail goes, you'll find it's exactly where the UN's directed energy beam set all of those fires. Wow. All at once. I'm convinced. It's actually, it's pretty cool. I'll send you guys some links after this. You'll really, you really enjoy it. It sounds interesting. Yeah. All of the URLs are very above board. Sure. And normal. So, hey, Lucy, here's one last horrifying little fact for you, especially...

Play it on me. I haven't, I haven't heard all of the horror. I haven't heard enough waves of anxiety-inducing stuff. The last one that made me miserable when I saw it as a news headline was, you know, because the smoke has gradually been clearing from Canberra and other parts of New South Wales and stuff, that NASA has estimated that they're predicting that bushfire smoke is going to do a full lap of the earth and come back. Cool. So we'll all get to experience a little of it. Oh. From the city morning, Harold, the smoke from the Australian bushfires is so severe it is expected to complete a circle of the earth, returning to the country's skies from the west. Take that, Perth. The smoke has billowed into the lower stratosphere reaching 17.7 kilometers above sea level,

NASA said this week, or as Theo might say, NAZA. I mean, I'm not committed one way or another, right? I'm just going to... I'm hearing reports that you said NASA right? I'm just gonna... You can come to me just for you. I'm hearing reports that you said NASA. This is what I've been hearing. It did, and it was like kind of a soft-esque, like Na. Oh, I don't think that's true. Like there's like there's some sort of conflict on the Na-sripe.

You know? This is grossely unfair. Narsa satellite show that smoke has traveled more than 6,500 kilometers away from Australia with some of it reaching Chile, where hazy skies and colorful sunsets have been reported. Well, you can thank us for giving you a real life insta filter. Chile. So, you know, a little bit bleak and depressing over here, but fortunately there are positive, good things that we can talk about, like Lucy filling us in on what's been going on in the US presidential election. Oh, it's all so good over here. There's just so much good news.

Don't you guys love keeping up with the political cycle that for some reason lasts like, I feel like this has been going on for five years now. It seems like it's just immediately starts again. As soon as the election has happened, they're already talking about like, all right, who's it going to be that's running like four years from now? And they just keep doing these debates over and over and over again. To the point where I feel like there's nothing more to talk about. How many of them have they done?

I've watched at least four. God. Why? Really? Really? That's on the point. It's just an extremely weird thing to do. And of course, we're getting to the point where the last debate was just like a hundred variations on just asking, why do you disagree with Bernie Sanders on this issue? So the discourse is extremely normal, as I'm sure you've both seen. Well, it has seemed like they've now just gradually been getting more and more unsubtle about, you know, everything is, in what ways do you disagree with Bernard Sanders? Bernard Sanders?

The wrongest man on this stage. It really is unbelievable, like how much, like you've probably seen all the tweets that are like, ah, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden in second and third place, and they just completely ignore Bernie Sanders. They just don't talk about him at all. Yep. They're all of the ways that they find to not talk about how well he's performing. Mm-hmm.

It's incredible. But I did find this, it's a ridiculous article, but I very much enjoyed reading it. This was in the Daily Mail, favorite publication of ours, the Daily Mail. And it's in the typical Daily Mail style. I love that they always follow the exact same template for all their articles. There's like... All the dot points up the top. Yeah, and there's a headline that's at least 30 to 40 words long. And some words are in capital letters so you know which ones to be mad about. Yep. And then they've got all the dot points. And then

the whole article is just the dot points repeated but put into a paragraph. I really respect the art form. So this one, leaked Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign writer calls for candidates hotel room to be capital letters freezing. For staff to stock up on honey packets for his tea if available as well as check for leaky faucets or slow flushing toilets. Villanous Bernie Sanders fording Nation's honey. Wants his room to be freezing. I'm imagining like a Mr. Freeze type ice chamber.

Bernie Sanders comes in. It's too hot in here. It's too hot in here. So this is so good. Referred to as the Senator Comfort memo, the document offers specific arrangements that need to be for Sanders' hotels food, drink, family, and staff marked confidential for campaign staff use only, not for circulation. The two-page memo was dated April 10th 2019. While the memo does declare that upgrades to a large suite should be avoided as much as

possible, Senator Bernie Sanders does like to utilize its small junior suites, desiring to exist in nippy conditions. The memo states that Senator Bernie Sanders needs a fan in the room if the room's thermostat does not go below 60 degrees. What's the normal person degrees? I'm trying to think I think it's... Hang on. It's around 20 degrees? That's 15 Celsius. That's pretty cold. Yeah, it's 15 degrees.

That is a refrigerated room. It is a refrigerated room. Maybe they're right about this. The senator also asked not to be placed near elevators, ice machines, or any other high foot traffic spots. So basically what they're saying is that he would like a small room with the tiny bed. Lots of honey packets. A tiny bed for one person. Some extra honey if you could get it for his tea because he does talk a lot.

Talks a lot in all his rallies and everything. I just I love the idea that like liking your room to be colder than the average person and and the tiny tiny to the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th in th in the thin the thin. thin. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi with thi with the the thi with thi with thi with thi with the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with th with th with th with th with th with th with th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti the small small the small thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the idea that like, liking your room to be colder than the average person and liking... What a diva! And liking to have honey for your tea is like the height of unreasonable demands? It's so good. They've obviously got this memo that like we've got to make a story about this, this frequency, cold.

We've got to roast this old This freq wants his room freezing cold. We gotta roast this old son of a bitch. Out here trying to steal, I don't know maybe, I'm just trying to think of like how it is that somebody would be seeing this and then going, ah, terrible, what a hypocrite. What a real piece of shit. He's using all of our electricity to make his room cold cold but he wants climate change to stop? That's the one thing I could think of. Oh dear. Maybe, maybe, I can't come up with him. Maybe if he was demanding that his refrigerated room only be powered by renewable energy and they had to sort that out somehow. I feel like it's very much undercut. I feel like it's really undercut by saying, don't put me in a big room, I don't need one.

Yeah what a piece of shit, what an asshole. Fuck a terrible man, unbelievable. So that's the state of the political discourse out here at the moment. Wonderful stuff. Good stuff. I mean, who could forget Amy Kumbucha or whatever like, I'm not going to learn her name at this point in the race, getting the thumbs up from New York Times and everyone's just like, what, is she?

Who? Still in the race? This is very weird. Very odd thing to do. So for people like us who look at the internet too much, the New York Times editorial board, which is different to the opinion board, or the group of opinion colonists who write all of the weird racist stuff where they put, like white supremacists in there as references and that kind of thing. Which seems to have happened a few too many times lately.

So the editorial board had announced that they were going to endorse somebody for president from the Democratic primary. Well I don't even know if it's like, it's even endorsing someone for president it's just endorsing who they think people should vote for to be the Democratic nominee which is absurd. It is absurd and the whole process is so absurd like a job interview they get them all in and they sit down and so Mr. Sanders why would you be a good president? And he just sits down and goes, well, first of all, you know, fuck all, y'all. And like, it's just a, it's such an odd process. It's very strange.

Especially because they turned it into this whole like, like, I know that. Like the Bachelor waiting for the Rose at the end. Well, what it was, I think what it was like most specifically was when Lebron James had finished his contract at Miami, I think it was, or it might have been, might have been the one before that. I'm gonna get roasted about this because it's gonna be like the wrong player and the wrong teams and all that sort of stuff. But basically he did this whole thing of saying, I'm going to, oh it was called the decision, not the choice.

There was a TV show called the decision in which Lebron James was announcing which team he was going to sign with or like once his contract had come up. And it was this crazy like dragged out thing where, you know, they did a big build-up to it and they were doing all, like, it was so much like this process with the with the New York Times endorsement where the whole time everybody was saying, or like, it was so much like this process with the New York Times endorsement, where the whole time everybody was saying, number one, why are you doing this? Number two, the only thing this is succeeded in is making everybody band together to hate you for being self-important enough to try and create this massive process out of the thing.

Absolutely absurd. I would definitely say that more people cared about where LeBron James would go on to play basketball than who the New York Times thinks you should vote for as the person. It's totally endorsement thing. It's very weird. It's very official here it's like oh they endorsed this person. It's like it's just a thing that you say with your mouth the more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more people the the the their people their people people people people people people people people. their people. their people people. their people. their people. that more people. that more people. that more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more people, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, that more, that more, that, that more, that, that more, that more, that, that their, that, that more, that th. th. th. th. th. that's, that, that, that, that, that, that's, more, that, that's, that, that, that's, that, more, that's, that's, more people, more people, more people, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, the nominee to run. It's very official here, it's like, oh, they endorse to this person. It's like, it's just a thing that you say with your mouth or your keyboard. It's meaningless, ultimately. And what's even dumber is that after all of this,

all of these interviews with people and all the sort of stuff, they made a big point with Bernie Sanders of like, oh, the problem is th....... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, it's thin, it's thin, it's thin, it's thin, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, th. It th. It th. It th. It, th. It, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Sanders of like, oh the problem is that you know he doesn't show any level of pragmatism. He's not willing to negotiate with people and all that kind of stuff. And so who did they wind up endorsing Elizabeth Warren and Amy Clobershar? They endorsed two people. So thank you for spending... How ironic. Spending countless hours and they're not even picking one person. Also... Bizarre choices as well, like Amy Kumbucher has just briefly stopped beating her staff with

a stapler to accept the nomination. And like Elizabeth Warren, like, I don't know, it's bizarre to me at this point that someone who has been changing, lying her entire life about what she's doing and who she actually is would be placed in this situation. Sorry to get political. Yeah, it is weird to me. It's just older Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders discourse online is it seems very strange to me that you would support so many of Elizabeth Warren's policies but then not take them a step further and and like Bernie

Sanders. It doesn't make sense. I think the the other most ridiculous thing about the New York Times thing was that they showed, they wound up having a thing which was like the tally of who the different members of the editorial board had voted for in saying who they thought the endorsement should go to. And it was like, Elizabeth Warren with eight of the votes, it was like 30 members total. Elizabeth Warren with eight of the votes, Amy Clobyshar with seven, and Corey Booker with six of the votes

who had already dropped out of the campaign several weeks beforehand. Hell yeah. He's not even running anymore. And he got more votes from them Bernie Sanders who yeah, who even who? Who gives a shit at this point honestly like this has got to be the part where Like hundreds of thousands of people just throw in the towel and just be like Just no words don't have meaning anymore this we are like beyond that, who fucking cares? Just...

We do officially endorse Bernie Sanders, though, that being said. Please vote for Bernie Sanders. I can't afford to go to the doctor anymore. Please. Please. Please. My family is dying. And, yeah, like, I mean, the whole New York Times thing was ridiculous anyway, because I'm pretty sure everybody was on the same page that anybody, like the thing, the thing is like 1,000 percent just for the New York Times' own audience. Who would all have already made up their mind to vote for like Elizabeth Warren

or Mayor Pete or some shit. Pete Buttidge, I feel like that's their main audience. Surprising that they didn't go with Mayor Pete. Pete. So, you know, that's good stuff all round and we love it. Love it. I can't wait for several, I don't even know when the election is at this point. It's in November, isn't it? It's always November. God. So, you know, it's a, we all stand ready for Bernie Sanders to keep polling higher and higher and higher

and putting more distance from himself and Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren and for the DNC to then say, and the nominee is Amy Cloversha. He's 1,000 percent going to get robbed again. And I don't know how people are going to react to that. Unless he doesn't, unless the level of support for him is so overwhelming by that point that there's basically no way that they can deny it without. What if he simply wins the nomination and then he wins and then everything is perfect forever. Imagine that. We can we can just like Harry Potter. That's right.

Hembri Pemper. Now of course we've missed Lucy so much and that's why we're going to dip into one of our favorite segments. It's Paging Dr. Lucy. I'm never going to stop playing that thing. I've missed it. I've missed it too. It's been a while. It's comforting sound. Oh my goodness. Pagin' sound.

Oh my goodness. Paging, Dr. Lucy, where we look at I guess the biggest freaks on the internet and we try to get Lucy's expertise in the world of relationship advice, see what these people should do. So what do you have for us, Lucy? Oh, I haven't read this one so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna dive into it and and listen to it along with you. From the Des Moines Register, that's Des Moines Iowa, man requests a trial by combat with Japanese swords to settle dispute with Iowa X-Y. Hell yes, Iowa X-Y if that is a character I want to get to know.

A Kansas man has asked an Iowa court to grant his motion for a trial by combat so he can meet his ex-wife and her attorney on the field of battle where he will rend their souls from their corporal bodies. David Ostrom, 40 of Paola, Kansas claims in court documents that his ex-wife Bridget Astrum 38 of Harlan has destroyed him legally. I'm sure she has. He asked... I have to be legally destroyed. It's the worst way to be destroyed. He asked the Iowa District Court in Shelby County to give him 12 weeks lead time in order to source or forge katana and Wakiizashi, wakizashi swords.

Hell yeah. As first reported by the Carol Times Herald. I had missed that detail earlier that he needs to source a sword or forge one himself. He's gonna like be blacksmithing out the back, forging his katana. Oh, yes. The defense requests a 12-week recess for katana. To become a master swordmaker. Oh my god, to this day, trial by combat has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in the United States.

What? What are you saying? Well, he argues this in court records. I don't know if that's true. Adding that it was used the th th th th th th th that it was used th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus the thus thus thus thusususus. the the the the the the the the the the the the defense request request the the the the the the the defense the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thuse thuse thuse thuse thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus the the the the the the the the. the. thea. thea. thea. theat. the. the. the. the. the. th he argues this in court records. I don't know if that's true. Adding that it was used as recently as 1818 in British court. As recently. When reached by phone, Ostrom told the Des Moines Register that he got the idea after learning about a 2016 case in which New York Supreme Court Justice Philip Menado acknowledged that jewels had not been abolished. Ostrom said the motion stemmed from his frustrations with his ex-wife's attorney, Matthew Hudson of Harlan. I think I've met Mr. Hudson's absurdity with my own absurdity, he said.

Ostrom, who said he plans to request the same mediation tactic for any other disputes that may arise in court, added that his ex-wife can choose her attorney as a champion or stand-in fighter. Oh my god. It's really beautiful. Imagine if it backfires though and she shows up with like the mountain dude from Game of Thrones. Uh, Here is my champion for this fight. It would suck. Bring somebody along who can just like cleave him down the middle in the single swing of a big battle axe, you know. Because the problem is, oh look, 1,000 percent.

And as far as ways to just like totally gum up the court system go. I think I need to know much more about the line. I've met Mr. Hudson's absurdity with my own absurdity. I need to know what led to this point. I'm assuming it's just been a very aggressive court battle. Yeah, a very protracted and angry family court situation. And he said, that's it. Time for me to kill my ex-wife's attorney with a sword. With a katana. But first... It's off like a whole area of legal academic research where everyone has to like frantically check. Oh, can he just do the kitana thing? has to like frantically check, oh, can he just do the katana thing?

Is that like, like, scrolling all their paralegals to go and do the research for it? Yeah, like, fusting off like old legal tombs and like scrolling through there, like, it doesn't say, it's no mention of no katana for this. I feel like he's, um, I he's... I feel like he's banking on like a, on an airbud type situation where he's hoping that the judge is going to say, well it doesn't say anywhere in the rule book that he can't challenge him to a sword tie. All law should be settled this way. It should be just like a, just a race to the bottom of finding the most absurd kind of legal loophole which means you get to cut your wife's lawyer in half with a gigantic sword. Yeah, I guess it is it is also kind of a matter of of who wants it more, you know, like

like playing chicken. It's like, oh, Julie, I'll cut you a real appetite for it. There's 1,000 percent legal chicken as this dude says. You know, it might end up like the, maybe the episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes around, slapping everybody with a gul and everybody backs off, and then one day a guy's like, okay, I'm going to kill you. What the the the the the the the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun. What the gun. What the gun. What the gun. What th. th. thum thum is thum. I' thoomome is thus is th is th is th is th is th is this is this is this is this is this is this is th is this this th is th is th is the th is the the th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th.

I'll thatea backs off and then one day a guy is like okay I'm going to kill you. What happens, what happens the what happens the day that somebody's attorney goes okay I will now also put all of my legal

firepower behind making this happen as well? But if it becomes like a precedent then law courses would have to be like 50-50, like one-half, you know, tauts and constitutional law and all that sort of stuff and 50% mortal combat with a array of deadly weapons. Oh man. I am into it. So Lucy, do you think that basically this guy should get to swordfight the attorney? I think so. I don't want him to sword fight his wife, but I feel like he really was suggesting that she present the attorney as the champion in battle. I feel like his beef is with the attorney and I respect it. Wonderful stuff. Um, well, he's hoping that one day we get to hear a little more about Iowa ex-wife. You know?

I want much more Iowa-X-wife. That is a great character. Uh, hey, how about another Lucy segment? Oh my God. Ah, this is your captain speaking. Please return your seats for their upright positions as we are coming in hot on another edition of Plainly Speaking. Yes, it's Plainly Speaking. Yes, I got to go on a plane recently.

It's a good time. What kind of plane was it? What kind of plane was it? I went on an air bus, A3.30? It's a good plane. A big boy. A big boy. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thi. th plane. A big boy. It's very nice. Big bopper. My kids got to go on there. Well I think a six-year-old had been on a plane before, but when she was a baby, when she was very little. And our four-year-old had not been on a plane law. And they got to go on a plane recently, and they were very, very pleased. Good. Thus begins the lifelong love affair with the plane.

You're going to be plane freaks now. Automotive of the sky. That's a rude thing to say about planes, but it's fine. They kill a lot less people. Unless you're a Boeing 737 Max, am I right? Is that where you were going with this? Hey look, take me there. I will take you there. Because we have spoken about. We've spoken about the the 737 max on the show before, I believe. Sure have. Very ill-fated plane. So ill-fated that even non-plane freaks know to avoid this specific plane. It's very impressive. Um, so there has been leaked emails going around.

Are they leaked? I... I think so. I don't know the source of them. Anyways, headline, Boeing employees, mocked FAA, and clowns who designed 737 Max. Already enjoying myself. Oh, it was, this is all stuff that's been given to congressional investigators. Oh. So imagine having to turn over all of your emails in which you are constantly roasting all of the people

you work with. Oh, love it. Incredible. So the company expressed regret at the embarrassing communications it's sent to investigators on Thursday, which included a comment that this airplane is designed by clowns who are in turn supervised by monkeys. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Roasted. But what an entertaining workplace, you know.

It's a great roast. I would love to know who wrote that. Boeing employees mocked federal rules, talked about deceiving regulators and joked about potential flaws in the 737 max as it was being developed according to over 100 pages of internal messages delivered Thursday to congressional investigators. Now it's funny for them to joke about that because hundreds of people have died. Mmm, that's hilarious. Were they doing, they did the joke before the deaths, didn't they?

You would assume so. It's where I'm taking from this. But like, it is horrifying the extent to which this entire situation, and if you haven't read up on the history of the 737 max and how they got to this point and everything, it is both fascinating and horrifying. There's a great article, I think it's in the Atlantic, was the really good article about it, that explains all the details of everything that went fucked up. And I guess more than anything else, it's also kind of a perfect example of what the sort of the ethos, the capitalist ethos has been with a lot of companies for the last couple

of decades, which is, you know, strip out any part of your company that is supposed to be there for like compliance and regulation and safety and skip as much of that stuff as you can if it's costing you any kind of money. Mm-hmm. Because the only thing that matters is scraping back a tiny bit of profit at the expense of anything. It's just that if you happen to be in the business of making planes, the expense comes on the back of hundreds of people that you kill at a time when one of your big planes crashes. That's it. So there's obviously staff joking about this stuff, but there's another article that came out today that basically said that most of these emails are just describing how much Boeing

encourage them to constantly only be thinking about cost at all times. Which is super cool. It's very weird. I mean, you know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I know, I, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I the, the, the, the, the, there's, so there's, so there's, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so there's, so, so, so, so there's, so there's, so there's, so there's, so there's, so there's, so there's there's there's there's there's there's there's the, the, I the, I the, I there's the, I th, I th, I th, I th. I th. I th. I th. I there's th is the, I'm there's there's there's obviously, I'm there's obviously, I'm there's obviously, I'm there's obviously, I'm there's there's there's there's there's. It's very weird. I mean you know I know we've talked as well before about things like we work and Uber and all those companies where like it seems like making money is never even a part of the business model like making a profit. So it's very it's very weird how much of the time with a lot of these newer companies that profit isn't even a part of the model. It's just, hey, let's capture a big section of the market and then sell the company or whatever, you know. But even with older companies that over

time have outsourced more and more of their capacity and stuff to outsource things. like, like, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, toomoomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, today, toomorrow, toomorrow, today, toe.e.e.e.profit, profit, profit, profit, profit, their, the more of their capacity and stuff to outsource things. Like part of that long read in the Atlantic that they really made a point about was that Boeing for a really long time had had this like stellar reputation for safety and for having like great engineers and really high standards and stuff. And yeah I guess the issue particularly in like, particularly in the airline industry, is that once you've kind of fucked up your reputation for safety, there's kind of no fixing that. You can't say, oh, we'll not do that with our other planes.

Yeah, sorry about it. Whoops, we've learned from the killing all the people mistake. Which does in turn make me think of on a not really related note. The editorial published by the Australian last week in which they came out on the defensive at all of the people out there saying, hey, it's kind of messed up that the Australian and News Corp have been publishing all of this climate denial stuff for years and years and have been really aggressively against any sort of progress or change.

And they came out with this editorial saying, News Corp has always believed in climate change. What? And the impact that it has on the environment and all this stuff, and you know, we stand by reporting and everything. And just the, the, like, universal reception to this was like, you know, we can like read the newspaper, right? It's like still on there. It's like online, you can just Google it. Yep. You know people can see the stuff you publish. And as I saw somebody online put it, it's almost like News Corp are finding out during all the bushfire stuff. They're finding out in real time that you can't unfuck a reputation that you've spent like decades making, you know?

So very cool for Boeing, I think. To call people an airplane designed by clowns who are in turn supervised by monkeys. Other great comments. Yeah. Oh, I just wanted to know if the clowns were also dressed like monkeys, oh, sorry, if the monkeys are also dressed like clowns. I assume there's like a bigger like a gorilla clown

that's running the show. That's how I'm picturing this the Boeing scenario going the biggest monkey he's enormous and he is running the show at Boeing. Biggest monkey is the big boss. That's right. But do go on. Oh yes just some other key fantastic comments from these emails. Would you put your family on a Mac simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't, one employee said to a colleague in another exchange from 2018 before the first crash. No, the colleague responded. No, I wouldn't let my family fly on one of our planes. Hmm. Now I have flown on these lots of times, so that's a very comforting thought for me to have. No, I wouldn't let my family fly on one of our planes.

No, I have flown on these lots of times, so that's a very comforting thought for me to have. Very reassuring. People love flying. People feel like flying is so safe, and I'm sure that Boeing's reputation will not be damaged at all. And I'm sure there isn't a million other very damaging emails and pieces of information that are going to come out in the following years. Do you like do you think that this is likely to happen with any other airlines or is this kind of exclusive to this particular model of aircraft where they just said, oh we could build a whole new plane or we could strap some big engines to this one and like turn off the don't crash me chip.

Well, I just, I don't think Airbus would ever do this to me. That's just my opinion. My sweet precious Airbus. I mean, I'm sure that this stuff happens all the time and that just hasn't happened to have crashed. There hasn't been a disaster, but of course there's probably cut, like cost-cutting and just shitty business practices going on all the time in huge companies like this, which is insane because Boeing makes exorbitant profits. There's no reason for this kind of thing.

I feel like everybody's complained about airlines for like decades has just been the gradual like shearing back of any form of service that they give to you from like letting you check bags on without paying money for it and giving you a meal when you're on a reasonable length flight and you know slowly decreasing the amount of leg room and all the things like all of these things I assume are done to a fit more passengers on a plane and B pay less for fuel. Yeah that's it. So that's the general driving motivation behind everything but like said you combine that with you know making massive profits at the same time and also that

apparently some of the airlines have been applying this same kind of deal to the same sort of cost-cutting measures to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the-s the the the the-s the less lesse lesse lesse lesse lesse less less less less less less less less less less less less less less 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-s the-s the-s the-s the-s the the the the the the the the the the thea thea thea thea thea thea the the the the the their their the the the the the the the apparently some of the airlines have been applying this same kind of deal to The same sort of cost-cutting measures to the actual safety part as well And it's kind of terrifying. It is a little scary. It's not it's not a huge thing to be worried about in most countries. You know, there's definitely certain airlines in other countries that don't follow the federal aviation rules, but airlines are generally pretty good with it. I think this is very very very, the the th th th th th th th th th th th much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the of of of of of of cute the the of cuting me of cuting measures of cuting me to of to of of ofing me of ofing measures of to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the same sort the same sort the same sort the same sort the same sort the same sort the same sort the same sort the the the the the the same the the thus the thus thus thus the thus thus the the the the the thus cost cost cost cost cost cost cost-cutus cut the the thus cost cost cost cost cost cost-cutus cut thus the follow the federal aviation rules, but airlines are generally pretty good with it. I think this is very much just a Boeing problem. Well I saw an extremely sad airplane-related story the other day, which was about a lady who was traveling somewhere with her big boxer, like her dog. And this was during the heat wave that was happening recently and so she was like oh I'm kind of

worried about putting my dog in the cage and him having to wait out on a tarmac and they're like don't worry the animals are only ever out on the tarmac for like five to ten minutes max. Oh I hated this story. And then she said well I'm gonna wait with him here in the terminal like until the absolute last minute that you have to take him out there and I were like cool we'll do that and they came and said look and said look we got to get him in the cage now because we're loading everything on the plane. And they put him in the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the cage the the the the the the the the cage. the the the the the the the the the the the the the to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get 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 toge. toge. toge of toge of toge of toge. toge. toge. toge. toge. toge. toge. tog and she went back up in the terminal and like looked outside and they had wheeled the dog out onto the timac next to the plane and sat him down there in the cage under no shade. Oh my god. Like on the baking hot tarmac 40 degree plus day and then they didn't load him on the plane. And 10 minutes went past, and 20 minutes went past, and she was like, load my dog in the plane.

And they were like, don't worry, they'll do it any minute now. And then 30 minutes went past, and 40 minutes went past. She was apparently like crying up in the terminal and saying, please let me go and get my dog and bring him back in. I'll not go on the flight on the flight on the flight on the flight the flight the flight the flight the flight the flight the flight the flight, or the flight, or the not go on the flight or whatever and they phone down there and the guys on the tarmac were like, Ah, he's fine. And so they wound up leaving this dog out on the tarmac. No shade 40 degrees plus for over an hour. Oh my god. Before they loaded him into the plane and then they got to the other end and she got off the plane and they went, Ah, your dog's dead, sorry. But he was fine when we put him in the plane.

Why have you to tell me this horrible story? I hope she'd sues them for a billion dollars. Me too. Me too. Because, yeah, apparently, the, like, well, the thing was, I, Qantas having a bad time lately. Do we see the drama yesterday on Twitter? I don't know. The Qantas lounge drama? Oh, they didn't let the girl the lady in because she was wearing a track suit? Active wear? Active wear? Who gives a shit? On one hand, I mean, who gives a shit about being in the

Quantis lounge? I mean, it's like... It's just... It was a former professional wrestler, Eva Marie. Thank you. Let her in. Who cares? Who cares? I don't care because I've never been in a quantist lounge and I assumed that it fucking sucks. Oh, I went in there. It's just a room that you sit in. That's it. They got some shitty soup. People's brains are. You get a crown lager?

Very, very strange. This is what they do instead of paying their taxes. They get business class. Why fly business class? What's the point of it? You're going to be in the plane anyway? You're going to feel like shit. You're breathing the same shitty air. It's going to dry up your nostrils the same way. I'm uncomfortable 24-7. Why would I pay $3,000 for a flight and still be uncomfortable? I don't... I...

Ehh. Crazy stuff. Insane. Huh. So, anyway, very sad story. I do hope that lady sues the living shit out of Quantis. I hope so. But, yeah, like, it was wild that Quantas put out a statement that was like, we are very sympathetic to this lady, uh, but it's totally not our fault because the dog was alive when he went on to the plane. I'll see you in court with a katana, Qantas.

Absolutely. I will be in there requesting lead time to forge the finest of blades with which to cleave your attorney's head from his body. I would absolutely do that if someone killed that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the that the that that the that that that the that thoananananananananananat is the that that that that thoanananananat is the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan is. toan is.a toe was was was there's one other plane-related story that I added to the dogamy here because to me it is funny. I feel like this one's very important to you so I'll let you go for it. A British Airways flight was forced to turn around because of quote a smelly poo. The plane was headed from Heathrow to Dubai on first the turn around because of quote, a smelly poo. The plane was headed from Heathrow to Dubai on Thursday a seven-hour flight. Boy, that's a long one.

Uh, Abu Shek Shak Shak Dev, who was on board, tweeted, quote, insane, a BIA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet. He told a because of a smelly poo in the toilet. He told the newspaper, the pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew and we knew something was a bit odd. About 10 minutes later he said, you may have noticed there's quite a pungent smell coming from one of the toilets. He said it was liquid fecal excrement. Those are the words he used. You can just say, if you're making a diarrhea announcement, just say the words. He made an

announcement just to put on the thing and be like, hello, this is your captain speaking. It's just so funny because, like, apparently they'd only been airborne for 30 minutes of a seven-hour flight and someone's taken a shit so bad that they had to ground the flight. Imagine being that person, because I assume they didn't blame the person. They didn't know who did it, but you would know that you did it. Oh, the next available flight was 15 hours later which meant they had to get everybody off the plane and put them up in a hotel. What if it kept happening? What if it was like the guy that flew the drone over Heathrow? But it's just a guy whose entire purpose in life is just to... As soon as the seatbelt lights go off, just immediately diarrhea into the toilet so badly

that it forces an international flight to turn around. My God, and like... How do you make that call? How do you decide that it's too smelly? Like what's the line here? I, like how bad could it have been? I don't know. Speaking to radio ones Greg James, Sarah who works for the airline said, when you're up at that altitude the cabin has to be pressurized. So the problem is that anything like that is actually a health and safety problem because only 50% of the air is being recycled and cleaned. Poop particles everywhere.

Like, oh, do you think somebody's done one of these ones that we've had written into the show about before of like the someone who was just dropped their pants and then like coated half of the room who was just dropped their pants and then like coated half of the room kind of thing like a we cannot clean this up situation maybe this is a this is a we need the big pressure washer kind of scenario like I feel like they have to treat this like a they have to build planes this probably comes back to the cost cutting but I think they would have to build a plane like a like they would build a space station 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 to the to the to the to the the to to the to the to to the their to their the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the they.e.ea.ea. Weea. their their their their their their their their their to the cost-cutting, but I think they would have to build a plane like a, like they would build a space station, right? To be able to just...

Just jettison a module? Say that rooms a ride-off and just like, and just seal it out of the plane, just hermatically seal it from the rest. Yeah, you just drop it from the sky, crushing somebody's like 2009 Volkswagen Beas, you know? Just build one of those evil space AIs, except its entire job is to work out when the toilets in the plane have too much diarrhea in them to just, just, hematically seal them from the rest of the plane.

My goodness. Well, I mean, it would be a real shame if something were to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the to drop the the the the the the the the the the thock, thock, like thock, thock, like, like, like, like, like, like, like thoes, like their their their their their their their their their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just just, just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just a the the the plane. My goodness, my goodness. Well, I mean, it would be a real shame if something were to drop on you out of the sky. Uh, from a plane. Go on. For example, Lucy hit us with this one. Ah, you want to be hit with Delta plane dumps jet fuel over US schools in emergency landing causing minor injuries to 40. What minor injuries do you receive from getting jet fuel dumped on you? Fuel in the eyes, I guess. I suppose so. Fuel dumped by an airliner making an emergency return to LA International Airport due to an engine

problem has fallen onto three schools. I love that it just hit three schools, just incredible luck. Nothing else. Nothing else. Causing minor irritation to 40 children and adults. The incident occurred around noon in the Kudahi area of southeast in Los Angeles County. Don't tell me if I mispronounce that. I simply don't care. About 21 kilometers east of the airport. Fuel dumping is a process used in certain emergency situations to reduce the weight of the airplane, but according to aviation rules, nearby facilities need to be warned by air traffic controllers. Oh here, let's hear from that part. We're looking to dump a lot of fuel onto some schools in a second.

Just calling up the school, like, there's just, we're just gonna dump some fuel on your school. Yeah, I hope that's cool. It's gonna be a lot of fuel. Hey, in about two minutes, you're gonna want to make sure that all those kids are inside. It's not recess right now, is it? Let's let's sixth grader Diego Martiness. He said he and his classmates were outside for physical education class when they saw the airplane flying low overhead. It was very close he said. Thanks Diego. Shortly afterwards the air filled with the pungent odor of fuel. It was very strong the odor, the 12-year-old said.

Diego wasn't doused, but some of his friends complained that their skin was itching. Let's hear from the friends then, you know? Don't interview an onlooker. I want to hear from the guys on the ground. I hear that firsthand. Mm-hmm. No one was hospitalized. Jordan High was also affected. Everybody just went over very red.

No one was treated at the other school. All minor injuries. None of the victims needed hospitalization. That's good to know. It's not bad. I would have thought that jet fuel was a more costic on the skin, you know. I don't want to know how much got on these kids. I know, right, like this much to do about nothing. Like, were they like Nickelodeon slimmed with it? Like, was it just poured over their heads or just getting

like a little spray of jet fuel? Yeah, they didn't have to take any of them to hospital because they were able to establish at the scene that they had they had they had they had they had they had they had they had they had they had the they had their their they had their their their they had their their their the the the, the, the, the, theateateateate, the, theateateatheatheatheatheat to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the, the, the, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho, tho tho, tho, tho, tho, tho tho tho tho the, the, the, that the that that the the the that to to to to to to to to to to able to establish at the scene that they had been made instantly and irreversibly blind. Oh, there's nothing we can do about this. That's it. Oh dear. Oh, yeah. It's the kind of airline safety that we love. I love it. Lov the kind of airline their teat fuel on children.

Saver there than in the plane apparently. That's right. I take one for the team sometimes, Diego.

Oh, gotta keep our safety margins up, you know? It's like Diego doesn't even care about airplane safety. I know right. Unbelievable. Oh, very good stuff. Well, it's been very nice to have you back in the saddle, Lucy. Oh, it's been great.
