Hello and welcome to Budavista, episode 149. I am Ben and I am here in the beautiful city of Brisbane, recording a podcast episode in a house in the unique Queensland style, which is characterized by elevated height, extensive randers, and the ability to open the house up freely to airflow. About 20 minutes drive away from me in a brick house characteristic of a sort of 1950s modernism, quite popular in the outer suburbs of the beautiful city of Brisbane. Also recording a podcast episode is Theo. Hello, Theo. Hey, buddy.

One of the things I think about the scenarios we do up the start is it's a real, real us to kind of just play into some escapism. Hmm, well like flex our imaginations. Yeah, think of a life that is possibly more fantastic than ours and then and live it for a couple of minutes. Well, let me put this to you. Can you imagine life more fantastic than living in Brisbane? Ah, look, perish the thought. If such thing exists... I didn't even have the thought. I can't, no.

I can't perish it. It wasn't there at all. I feel like... I mean, where else could be? They've become quite... They're normal to us now, right? We didn't do them from the start. And even when we started doing them, we weren't doing them for every episode. Andrew would just sort of do them every now and then, which was a nice surprise.

But we've sort of become quite accustomed to them to... You never really think about if this was, say your first time listening to the podcast. You heard Andrew describe us being at the circus or some shit. Yeah. And then that was never th that was th that was th th that was th th that was th th th that was th th th th th we th we th we th we th th th th th th th th th that that th that that that tho tho that that that that tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th th. th th th. th. th. th. th. th. We th. We the that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the podcast. You heard Andrew describe us being at the circus or some shit. Yeah. And then that was never brought up again to the rest of the episode. You'd maybe think, what is this? It's almost like... when, well, another very good American political podcast referenced our episode on the bushfires. Having heard the intro where we talked about being in a bunker while the fires were raging, which was of course fictional, but under the belief that that was true. I forgot about it.

Might have been slightly too close to home, that one maybe. Now, now you say that this might be difficult for people coming in, new listeners, etc. But I would put it to you that we have never attempted to cater for either new listeners or the possibility of getting new listeners. I genuinely believe that there might be a hard threshold on how many people could enjoy the podcast. Absolutely. I think, like, a year ago we got to about 5,000 people could enjoy the podcast. Absolutely, I think like a year ago we got to about 5,000 fans or something like that and to my understanding that's about probably as many as we need. And could possibly attain as far as I understand it. It's sort of Pokemon sense we have caught them all.

Would you say your house is about 1950s-ish? I was taking a guest there. Yeah, no, no, I think that's pretty much bang on. It's always nice like trying to work out the age of the different rooms just depending on whether the walls are asbestos or not. Well I mean at least we can say your laundry now is a baby effectively, that's zero years old. Only, that's right, only one out of the four walls now, sorry, three out of the four walls are asbestos. Now one is plasterboard that we put up ourselves. You know what they say? You know,

better 10 to 12 asbestos walls than 11 to 13. And some buried in every garden in the yard. Oh man, some friends of ours have, they have a cafe with some sort of space out the back where, because it was sort of, once upon a time the building was a house, then it got turned to some sort of shop fronts and then they've turned it again into a cafe or whatever and they're like, oh, this is really good. We can use the garden space to sort of grow stuff. the the the the the the the garden the the garden. Um, uh the garden. Um, uh, uh, uh, uh, the garden, the garden, the garden, the garden, the garden, uh, th, the garden, uh, the garden, uh, uh, the th, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, their, uh, uh, the th, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they, they, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, th. thuh got turned into some sort of shop fronts, and then they've turned it again into a cafe or whatever, and they're like, oh, this is really good. We can use the garden space to sort of grow stuff for the cafe, you know, grow some herbs, whatever until they got the soil tested and realized it's just full of asbestos. Uh-huh, crazy full of asbestos. fireproof. Again, I feel like my understanding of medicine is that if something does anything to something, it will also do that thing to you. Yes, you are what you eat effectively. That is so true.

I think like when you look at the reaction to coronavirus, like quarantine and that sort of thing, and people, I guess younger people being surprised that older people don't take it seriously, is kind of glossing over the fact that I think as an Australian like cultural touch point, the belief that you could just pull down asbestos, smash it over your knee and then bury it under some concrete when you put in a shed in the backyard is pretty much universal to our parents' generation. That everybody was told, hey, this will kill you some point, 40 years from now, and it will hurt for about four months doing it. And they all just agreed that they hadn't heard that. And they are just having to go through the motions for political correctness gone mad.

And like this is even something my dad I think thinks that you can just pull down asbestos and just put it in your backyard for some reason. I don't know. It's like bearing nuclear waste. It will never, ever be a problem again. pull down asbestos and just put it in your backyard for some reason. I don't know. It's like bearing nuclear waste. It will never, ever be a problem again. Never ever. I mean, three to four inches of topsoil and you're golden. Have you seen any of that stuff about, I mean, I'm sure I probably mentioned on the

podcast before because it is fucking insane to me, sort of design challenge of future-proofing nuclear waste burial sites. No, but... So it's this like long-term project of... We have to make sure people don't try and live or, you know, cultivate anything on these sort of land, but how do you make warnings that completely transcend language and culture? So it's like it's weird because basically nothing we do at the moment feels like it's being done for more than 10 years in the future, right? Yeah, that's right. And nuclear waste is one of those things where it will absolutely outlive what our understanding of civilization is.

It's almost kind of ironic that we're willing to do the action knowing that like it will have the ramifications that far as the future but we haven't yet solved the problem of telling people, oh no this is going to fuck up your life. I feel like you could just like waterproof, build like a waterproof enclosure for one of those TV trollies, the AV sort of thing for the VHS It just preloaded with a copy of of Stalker I was thinking you could just do you know the the bit from Robocop where the guy has the acid fall on him Just play that clip over and over again. That's what all happened. It's like so I think what they've some the designs that they've come up with this having just 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. the tho. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. 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 th've, some of the designs that they've come up with is having just like making the landscape look as inhospitable as possible. So like, very specific reference here, but this is what comes to my, what I think about

it, you know, like in Disney movies where they're try to show that they're at an evil forest. Like they do it in like sleeping beauty. And it's all like curled and stuff. Yeah, they're like spirally trees that all have spikes and shit on them. Yep. That's essentially what they're designing. They're like these weird black spiky pillars and stuff. Oh my God. Yeah, you should definitely look into it. This is, I mean, I do this like every four episodes, but there's a 999, the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their the what it's called and I'll chuck it in the notes. Yeah, it's fascinating. But also, I saw it post the other day where

it was someone that was taking the sort of the slogans they're trying to communicate from these warnings and then putting them on the back of booty shorts. It's just stuff like nothing will thrive here. But that's what we should be doing for asbestos. I think that's the thing there. Would you like to hear a little bit of news from the beautiful city of Brisbane, the city in which we live? I mean, it's truly hard to keep up with the news from Brisbane, I find. It's all happening here all the time. All of the time.

I'm going to give you two media releases from the Queensland Police Service. The first is from 1045 a.m. the morning of May 15th. Around 7 a.m. this morning, police were called to a location on the Bruce Highway south of Bowen where a body was located. Now I'll put to you that while Brisbane is technically south of Bowen, I don't believe that this is a Brisbane story. Oh, you're absolutely right. I had in my head internalized this as Bowen Hills. Not Bowen. No, no, no, no, they're talking the town of Bowen, Bo Bowen, Bo Bowen, the town, the town, the town, the town, the town, the town, the town, the town, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, the town, the town, their, their, their, the, Boe, the, their, their, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, their. their. their. their, their. their, their. their, their. th. th. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. th. B. B. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, th. their, th. th. th. th. th. no, they're talking the town of Bowen, close to my birthplace. 1,500 Ks from here?

Maybe? A thousand? No, it'd be about 1,200 as the Tarago drives. I've been to Bowen. I've been to Bowen. There's to Bowen. There's one very nice beach. Very close to it for 19 years. We stayed there in the boat for a couple of weeks. Ayrly, what a place.

You can get an STI in the lagoon. If you are 19 and from Germany, you can go nightclubing there. I don't think they'd let you do it if you are anyone else. God. I went to schoolies at early. Oh my God, you dumb piece of shit. How was it? Oh man I was not having a good time at 19 years old I could tell you that. Wait, why were you doing schoolies when you were 19? 18? 18? You should have been 17. So I would have been just 18. Yeah, right. Right. Right. Right. Well, yeah, in Queensland, you're 17 when you finish school usually. That's

kind of how it shakes out. Is it? Fuck. No, I must. Look, I'll work that out. Sure. Two thousand thousand. Two thousand three. Sure. 2003, 17. Yeah. All right. But of course for some reason this entire state turns a blind eye to 17-year-olds going out and like getting absolutely fucking cuntied. Absolutely. Very strange that we just sort of say, okay, go nuts. Is there such a thing in, like, spring break is for college students in America, right? Yeah, well, I mean, I guess that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's kind. that's kind that's kind of the the same. the same. the. that's kind kind that's kind that. that's kind that's kind of that's kind of that's kind of that's? Oh, yeah, I guess that's true.

Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, I guess that's kind of the same. But at least in the other states in Australia, you're generally 18 when you graduate. Are you? Yeah, we finished because we don't have the kindergarten year. We just start at one, although maybe we do now. But in our day, yeah, we finish earlier than everyone else because I started school. Because we've got that bacteria on the water that makes us smarter. That's exactly what it is. You learn a little bit of Brisbane River water into your beer that you

have when you're 13, and then you don't have to do grade 9. They're all set back a year because of all their high-falut and fluoride. Great teeth, bad brains. Actually I think the thing is because our teeth are going to last for a shorter amount of time, they just let us get out of school earlier so we have one more year with good teeth out in the real world. It's very kind of them. So you went to school theirs. In early, which is insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely insanely. that is insanely. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's their that's that's that's that's. that's. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they're all. they're all. they're all all all. they're all all all. th. th. th. they're all all all. th. th. th. they're all all. th. th. the. they're all all all. th. th. theyice as bright. In early, which is insanely hilarious to me. What was that like? It was probably something that would have been a good time to people who weren't or aren't me.

And I didn't think that's true of maybe 98% of the things that you do in your life. Yeah, absolutely of human experience as a whole. These would be wonderful if I had any otherthat's true of maybe 98% of the things that you do in your life. Yeah, absolutely, of human experience as a whole. These would be wonderful if I had any other person's brain. Yeah, absolutely. No, I didn't have a great time, but that's probably, probably on me. I assume you just did like a mess of drugs, went to a bunch of the bad nightclubs, maybe had a couple of swims, swim in the lag, swam in the lagoon, the aforementioned lagoon. We went to, what's the island with the really fine white sand? Oh, is that Hamilton? No, no. I know the beach you're talking about. We went to Hamilton briefly, but... What is that beach? It's the one that everyone goes to. Yeah. It's a nice place. It's awful. It sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks sticks to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the their their their their their the one that everyone goes to. Yeah. Anyway, it's a nice place. It's awful, it sticks to you. You really aren't just designed to enjoy life at all. It's one of like the

thing places of the most sheer incredible natural beauty in this country. I don't like sand. It's coarse, it sticks to everything. Kind of like the bacteria that lives under like geothermal vents in the darkest parts of the ocean. I've managed to eke out of relatively niche but happy existence doing the things that I like. Which are this podcast. You weren't supposed to have thrived. Playing the city skylines.

Making eggs for wife. Making eggs for wife. And any more I'll get back to you. If you could think of that fourth thing that you like. It'd be great. All right so this is not Brisbane News. I will keep going with this press press release here. Fuck. I mean we kind of got through the meat of it there so theythey found a body, south of the bow on the Bruce Highway, crime seat has been established with detectives and forensic officers commencing an investigation. There is no further information at this time. Then the second media release. This is from 241 p.m.

So I'm not sort of a math's whiz. What's that? Four hours? About four hours. Let's say three hours, uh, 56 minutes? Uh, an investigation into reports of a body found south of Bowen earlier this morning has concluded. Hmm. Open and shut clays.

Yep. Well, I mean, open, wait four hours, shut. Yeah, sure. It seems, well, we'll get to that. Police were called to reports of a body wrapped in a blanket on a trail off the Bruce Highway. Forensic officers commenced investigations which have concluded the body is a lifelike replica doll of a human. The crime scene has been disbanded. Officers will continue investigations into the origins of the doll.

So, yeah, okay. Okay, so I guess, let's be generous here. They've left the scene as it's, right? They haven't collected the body, so it's not like at any point, someone's lifted it and been like, hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Yeah, weird. It doesn maybe the officers at the scene were either squeamish or didn't want to, you know, mess with the crime scene by moving the blanket that was wrapped in to have a look at its face and see if it was making some sort of easily identifiable facial expression that would give away its purpose. Which I think is possibly assigning a little more subtlety to the police officers of North Queensland than I perhaps would. It's weird that there is somehow a subset of police officer that's worse than police officer,

which is of course a Queensland police officer. And that there's a further subset that is even worse than that, deeply troubling. So what I'm trying to picture is so four hours, three hours, 56 minutes, let's give them four hours to be generous. Sure. Proportionally, how much of that time was spent working out that this is in fact a sex doll versus the amount of time deciding exactly how to word the press release? So you're, I'm sort of putting forth an idea where they found the body but didn't identify it to be a doll until much later. You're saying they more or less instantly realized it was doll

but were wringing their hands over, how do we say we found a fuck doll? Well, so, you know, 1045, press release goes out. 1046, someone lifts the blanket on the on the doll It's you know you know how you you send out an email And then you realize you fucked it all up And you should have used that feature an outlook where it will actually send the email 10 minutes after you hit send? Yeah, you get a little bit of a recall stream. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, picturing that, but it's already gone on to the front page of ABC News. Mm-hmm. And then, and gone, oh, we really should have checked. You just know the moment. This is more of a process question, right? Like, they've worked down their checklist of things that they need to check when they find a dead body. And at no point... Press release should be further down the chain.

Well I'm just saying that somewhere above press release but below find body should be check if body is a life-like doll with full-on tits and vulva. And like I'm not a forensic scientist or even any scientist of any kind. I'm not a doctor, not a police officer. My belief is that you could very quickly rule out whether something is a sex doll or not a doll at all without even touching the body by using a stud finder. Well if it was in your hand, Bernard would go off all the time. Oh, there he is. He's always the charmer. Hey, buddy. No, you're... We absolutely have not reached the far point in the kind of Westworld future where

robots and humans are indistinguishable for the purposes of forensic science. I would say that they are very distinguishable. When I first saw Blade Runner as a teenager, I was so confused by it, because I was like, why is it ambiguous whether or not the man's a robot, he could just cut himself open and see that he's a robot. I was like, what's the deal with that? I just assume, you know, you got robot parts in a sort of, what's that movie? Ex-marking in a kind of fashion?

But obviously I couldn't use that to contextualize it because that came out way after I was a teenager. So with this press release, right, they didn't say fuck doll. They called it a lifelike replica doll, which, you know, that could cover all manner of things, right? Yeah. Generously, you could say that a particularly high-end mannequin is life-like, you know? Sure, yeah. Like a very high-handed mannequin. I was trying to find in my mind the kind of, the overlap of life-like doll that is not covered

by sex doll. Really, the market hasn't been found yet. Well, I mean, there's probably like, I'm sure there's advanced sort of CPR dummies, maybe. I think I'm stretching here, but surely there's got to be other purposes in life generally where we will need something that looks convincingly like a human body, but not for the purposes of...

A ballistic doll. The ones where they're full of the gel? Full of the gel. And then the dudes from Cold Steel put a bunch of guts in them. Check out. Cold Steel on YouTube. If you've never watched one of our live streams, you will have seen them. If you've ever watched any of our live streams, you won't have seen them. If you've ever watched any of our live streams, you will have seen them.

We spent like 45 minutes talking about cold steel yesterday. And just the guys that make the swords getting visibly like out of breath, doing the world's shittiest sword swings on like hanging pieces of meat, ballistic dolls, boots full of meat, other forms of meat. Yeah, that's always like occasionally it'll just be like a huge sort of, you know, half a big, a whole side of pork. And you're like, oh, are you gonna, oh, that must have been expensive. You're not gonna, oh, okay. I don't want to criticize these guys right, because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, like, like, like, like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, oh, are you gonna, that must have been expensive, you're not gonna, oh, okay. I don't want to criticize these guys, right? Because I'm extremely out of shape.

I'm not an exercise-oriented person. But I also feel like if you were honing your skills in the discipline of being a swordsman, surely a corollary to that would be like a, that takes exercise, right? I don't really understand how they can both be masters of the blade and also extremely out of shape. I understand that I cannot swing a claymore. I also understand that about you.

We'll maybe get you a smaller sort of sword if we need to. I'll use one of those small Roman gladiuses. That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Well, you can probably get both your hands on a single hand grip anyway, so that's fine. They did clarify the Queensland Police Service. They told the Brisbane Times, a spokesperson QPS told the Brisbane Times clarify the Queensland Police Service. They told the Brisbane Times, a spokesperson in QPS told the Brisbane Times that the doll was, quote, an anatomically correct female sex doll. It was all there.

It's all there. We noticed that the doll had big bazongers. Now, do you feel like the fact that they've put the words anatomically correct in there is, one, trying to lend a real depth and credence to their reporting and their press release, or two, attempting to cover up the fact that they went four hours in between releasing the press release when they thought it was a dead body to the press release when they worked out it was a sex doll. Like, like they go like, look, guys, anyone could have been fooled by this. You should have seen the tips on it. It was so anatomically correct. You could almost read it as a sort of a nod to the craftsmanship of the doll.

Oh, they are 100% of that bad boy. That is absolutely spot-on. Outstanding, very small tuned. Our hat's off to latex fuck bags. You really did it. Visit latex fuck bags and use promo code, QPS. I think, I also find that series of words quite strange because you would kind of think that that comes with the territory. You know, like a female sex doll, that its entire reason for being is that it replicates to some extent the sexual experience via, you know, recreating that anatomy.

An anatomically incorrect female sex toll, what are you even doing at that stage? No, I think we've definitely moved on from like the 80s sort of blow-up doll with the massive like ballooned lips, I think. It is insane to think that that product ever existed and presumably still exists. Not, as something is more than a joke. Yeah, like, it's, like, it's a, that product ever existed and presumably still exists. Not as something is more than a joke. Yeah, like it's a gag in movies, which is the only way I have ever seen otherwise. No, people love blowing them up at festivals. They love that one.

But like, you can't, surely I think, you know, horniness will make the brain do many things, but surely the squeaky balloon noise would be enough for you to just be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, as something, as something, as something, as something, as something, as something, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thiii. thi. thiiii. thi. As a thi. As, thi, thi, you know, horniness will make the brain do many things, but surely the squeaky balloon noise would be enough for you to just be like, oh, this is very embarrassing, I'm just going to masturbate. If any of your parents have ever owned an 80-style balloon sex doll, please write in. If you've owned one, please, please write in. Because, you know, we don't want to judge. I mean, we won't.

We might want to. We just want to learn. Maybe it's a great time, you know? Maybe we're way off the mark here. I don't think we are. But maybe we are. I think we're going to go into a little segment that we've got here that doesn't really make sense because Lucy is not on this episode so we can't really page her but nonetheless this is paging Dr. Lucy. This is a post from a little subreddit called R slash Relationships.

This is a post from a little subreddit called R slash Relationships. This post has since been deleted. They don't explain their decisions, so we don't know why it's been deleted. It could be that they found some sort of evidence that this was entirely a fabrication. I would like to assume that's not the case and it was for some other reason, but here we go. My 29F boyfriend, 29M, keeps getting into fights with a cook at Waffle House. I know this sounds really weird, but here it is. My BF and I have been together for three years. We met and started dating when we were both in graduate school, but I dropped out to go back to

college to pursue a different career. We are both finished now and live together making a fairly nice combined income. Income with a capital eye. With the capital eye. Uh, our what? Uh, our money. Our money is relevant because we could afford to eat somewhere. From what do you think? Oh, no, our money. I think it's not correct from money. So our money is relevant because

we could afford to eat somewhere nice when we're out and about, but he always wants breakfast food. When he was a child, his dad couldn't stand eating breakfast type food in the afternoon or evenings, so his mom would make him waffles, slash pancakes, eggs and bacon in the evening whenever his dad was busy or out of town. It's a wonderful and safe memory for him and when he goes to his happy place. Oh, sorry. It's a wonderful and safe memory for him and it's when he goes to his happy place. He says that's where he always goes. My BF is an incredibly nice and caring person.

He's emotionally tuned into everyone and recognizes arising issues a long time before they occur. He loves animals and is kind and gentle with every bug, bird and pet that he comes across. He's almost always willing to turn the other cheek in social situations where somebody tries to insult him or get aggressive towards him. Sorry, I'm not laughing at this. This is all quite nice. I'm just laughing at what's coming up. And usually winds up to fusing the situation the situation the situation the situation situation situation the situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation the situation situation situation situation situation situation situation situation the situation situation the situation situation situation the situation the situation situation the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. the situation. I the situation.using the situation and having a productive discussion about whatever the issue was. Except at Waffle House. Anytime we're out, he wants to go to the same goddamn Waffle House and get breakfast food.

It's also auto-corrected to Toad, great. I'm not a big eater, so I used to not really care. I would just drink coffee and read my book while he enjoyed his food. Oh, that sounds lovely. It's very pleasant. It's a nice afternoon. But that became impossible once he had this one cook started chirping each other every other time we weren't there. BF complained about his eggs because he likes them a little runny and they were served hard-boiled eggs. The cook responded by giving him scrambled eggs. When he brought it up again, the cook served him two hard-boiled eggs. I think it was just part of the cook's schtick, and it was kind of funny, to be honest, but my BF wasn't able to laugh it off.

When we left, he was in kind of a bad mood, but we didn't really talk about it. The next week we were out getting some shopping done, and he wanted to go to the to to to to to we try out a different place, or at least a different Waffle House location, but he only wanted the same Waffle House. We went in and sat down, and once again the same cook served his eggs. My BF sort of snapped at him, that he wasn't interested in messing around, and just wanted of toast with a whole cut out the middle with a fried egg in it. My BF got really bad and threw the egg toast at the cook, which made the cook come around from behind the bar and throw it back at him. They ended up sort of wrestling slash fighting until my BF was like, this is bullshit

and walked out. Nobody got hurt, but a few other people they were watching and laughing at the fist fights with the crazy part. My BF keeps going back at ordering eggs and getting into fistfights with the same cook. It's almost a ritual at this point. My BF orders runny eggs, the cook serves some other version of eggs, and then they beat the shit out of each other. I quit going with him after the second fight, but he kept going by himself. They're like Peter and the giant chicken from family guy. It's the weirdest thing. They've physically fought like six or seven times over this. I've tried to talk to him about it a few times, but he keeps saying it's a matter of principle. I've told him to talk to the

manager or something like that, but he just waves me off. Apparently that cook hasn't yet made him the correct runny eggs, but it's like he spends the week learning new ways of preparing eggs to piss my boyfriend off. The thing is, we're getting married this summer. He's accepted a job at a new city and it will be easy for me to find work after the wedding. So we'll be moving away from this sworn enemy Waffle House guy. He hasn't really been out since quarantine started, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the first place he goes when restaurants open back up for sitting customers. My main worry is the strange vindictive side of him, I've never seen before that leads him to fight the same guy every week.

The violence itself is an issue for me, but the obsession over it almost bothers me more. Should I be worried that this side of him will come up later in our marriage? How do I get him to open up about this? Is this a type of obsession, is this type of obsession a choice or is it indicative of something deeper? Are they? Are they? Okay. Tell me how you feel about this.

So, obviously this is entertaining on a surface level right, but there's something about this story that is just weirdly evocative to me. Oh God, right? Do you know what this makes me think of weirdly? Go on. Gangs of New York. So you know the start where it's the priest and well butcher yeah it was like well I guess we have to throw down with fishhawks again. When they're just like I respect you god-da-da-butt thi-it-you. the the their, their, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, well, I guess we have to throw down with fishhawks again. When they're just like, I respect you, God damn it, but I hate you. And then one of them kills the other, and it's a beautiful touching moment. Yeah. This like weirdly noble thing of them both just being like, fuck you. Yeah. I think about you more than anything else. Like weird masculinity crashing against the cliffs of movability.

So I was trying to think, like, it's almost something PT Anderson about this. And I immediately thought of there will be blood, which is probably the most immediate comparison, right, where they just have this, this legitimate, um, you know, and escalating fighting going on but I realized that this guy the boyfriend is actually what Queen Phoenix from the master just this beautiful kind but extremely violent simple man who just wants simple things to drink motor oil in a cocktail or whatever and this this violence is almost inevitable. It's like a something at the core of his being. Yeah this primal attempt to sort of take control of the world in the only way they know how, and that is beating the shit out of, or being, having the shit beaten out of the bar,

yeah, and no matter how much civilization you can build within the four walls of a waffle house, um, it is just covering for the real intent of man. Yeah, violence still rages in the heart of man, regardless of the skyscrapers that we build, the waffle houses that we dot across the United States. The darkness of the humid heart will forever be unexplored. Just imagining they, the next act is that they move away from this city and then 30 years later they come back like the ending of uh of moonlight and he goes back to this waffle house and the cook is still there. If you order the eggs and they make eye contact. It's this beautiful meeting, meeting moment, their lives,

realizing that they're permanently entangled, entwined within each other's being. And then the cook comes around and they beat the shit out of each other. There's no other way they can finish right. One last time. They have this genuinely tender moment right of just this beautiful looking into each other's eyes. Maybe they shake hands, maybe they hug. You know, there's this like shared feeling of being like, you know, life has moved

on, we've moved on. And they, they knew their this this their this their their this their their their this their their their their this their their their their their their this is their this is this is this is th. this is this is theathea. this is their this is thathea. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. this, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their the. the is genuinely. theeanananeananeaneaneaneanananananean. tean. tean. tean. They have. They have tend, tean. They they knew this whole time that this was inevitable. And then he gets the eggs. He puts his fork into the egg and it just doesn't move, the yolk at all. And then when he stands up... It's just a masterpiece souffle that the cook is spending the last 30 years perfecting. Oh, it's like a perfect century egg, is that what those are called? They're like... He just stands up and like when he's stood up, he realizes the cook is already standing there,

he's got his shirt off. They're both fully nude. They're wrestling like fucking Greek wrestlers, just beating the shit out of each other. And then they both die. They lie on the floor, exhausted. This is just the ending to the wrestler. Except that is a mirror. The ending to the wrestler, he's died and fighting himself. I wonder if there's a perfectly mirrored counterpart post on R-slash Reddit.

My boyfriend is a beautiful, kind man, caring to all people and animals. He has a wonderful job as a chef at a waffle house. It's not much, but he loves it. But he can't stop getting in a fight. He's swapping shifts so that he can be on on Saturday afternoons. He's working 80 hours a week to make sure that he never misses him. Yeah, this is like some form of, it's a deep, deep romance that can only be expressed in terms of pure violence. If that story is real, it's probably fucked up. But as a piece of narrative fiction, beautiful.

It really does have something to it, like a kernel of something where you're like, wow, this is tragic. Yeah, this is saying something. There is definitely a capital T theme in this work. Will we ever fully explore it? No. Let's have a look at another theme with a capital T, and that to the place. I belong, bolt and hisser, nature corner, rubber crab, sniffed my dear. We love bees on this show.

I don't know what it is that makes them so funny. We love bees on this show. I don't know what it is that makes them so funny, but every single like, bee-related news story that I ever see I will immediately just slam the keyboard down with my fist, hoping that I have somehow managed to press Control C on the link to it, slams it into the notes. Uh-huh. They're nature's suicidal goofs. press, Control C on the link to it, slammed it into the notes. They're nature's suicidal goofs. They can't stop making pudding to live in. What a compulsion to have.

I think there's, we'll get to it, but there is one thing in this story. No, actually, we'll get to it in the first sentence that is astonishing to me. Here we go. So this is the story from seeing it. This is the headline. He suspected the buzzing in his ceiling were bees. Was bees, I'd maybe say. He just didn't expect to find 100,000 of them. And who does? No. All right, th, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the to. the thus. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the the the the the the the their. their. their. thi. tho. their. their. the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their too. too. to. to. to. their. to of them. And who does? No. All right, here's the first sentence. When George Montgomery

moved into his home in Georgia in November 2018, it didn't take him long to realize the property was a buzz. So this story about having the bees removed is from now. This is not an old story. So he's known that the bees have been there. He has heard nothing but incessant... I didn't even try to construct a timeline. Just incessant buzzing all around him all the time. His house is vibrating. Yeah. Now, I don't know about you. I'm a...

I'm just a simple man with simple fears. One of those fears is my house be full of 100,000 bees. Now if I was to find out that my house was full of 100,000 bees, that would become my number one priority in life. And I'm not saying that I'm a particularly constructive person. I'm very bad at completing tasks, projects, doing things. I feel like I would find something within me to sort this out. I feel like if there was just at all times a small chance that somewhere between one and 100,000 bees would pop out of a fixture while I was just trying to live my life, yeah. I'd probably try and tackle that problem straight away.

Yeah. Now, I think we have to kind of share this planet and our environs with things around. And I draw that line with 100,000 bees in my house. Right, so you'll be happy for 100,000 bees to exist more or less anywhere else. Anywhere else in the world. If you imagine that there is the world and then there's a space carved out by the house in which I live. Yeah, so the bees have what I understand to be probably 98 or 99% of the world then. I'm crunching some quick numbers. Yeah, I think that sounds about right. Yeah. And then a bit inside my house is the bit that they can't have.

So 1 to 2% of the earth's surface. Yes, taken up by my house. Your two-bedroom home. Yep, that checks out. Now, also I will point out that you've put all these notes in. I've made some very helpful comments in here now when it says it didn't tak th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that that put all these notes in. I've made some very helpful comments in here now when it says it didn't take him that long to realize the property was a buzz. I've got a little note there saying shut the fuck up. Yep and I think that's a very fair point and well made. I think it's actually a criticism that and it's harder to tear down than it is to build up, but I also think it's legitimate.

It's harder to tear down than it is to build up? No, it's easier. Not except for me. We're sort of like, they've constructed a beautiful one to 72-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower out of matchsticks and we've come in here and slapped it over. Yeah, so it's clown shoes bullshit. We'll never stand. I actually spent a little bit of time looking for an outlet covering this news story without jokes in it. Unfortunately, I did not find any.

Everyone that wrote this clearly saw this as a fantastic opportunity to just pemper it with puns. Our only source for this is comedy news story outlet, CNN. I mean, like, I get it, you're writing a lot of dry news stories. But there are ways to make things a joke without just saying, the property was a buzz. Look, you gotta get your fund somewhere, if it's the expense of your employer, and the people reading your articles. Fair enough. Let's go on with this, because there are 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 thoes. thoomoomoes. I their thoomoomoomoomoom. C. C. C. I 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 th. I is. I'm the. I'm thoomorrow. I'm toecoe. I'm new. I'm new. I'm news.come.come. Ioome. Ioome. I'm th expense of your employer, at the people reading your articles. Fair enough. Let's go on with this, because there are some other lovely details in here.

I noticed the swarm the spring after I bought the place, Montgomery Todd's in it. Okay so there's a little while after. It wasn't necessarily a year and four or five months, but it was something akin to that. And he's probably noticed sort of like a their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. I. to the. too. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I. to the. I. I. I. I.to that. And he's probably noticed sort of like a bee here and there, like in the flowers or whatever, just thinking, oh, that's, I haven't seen where their hive is. You know in the movie Constantine, when the, the much-terrish character, the bee man, uh, beaman, whatever that guy's name is,

dies from some sort of demonic bee attack and there's just a couple of bees crawling on his face all of a sudden. This is happening to him on a day-to-day basis. Yeah. You could hear them slapping against the wall as they landed to crawl into the hive. Oh, that's somehow worse than any other noise because a bee doesn't have a lot of mass, you know? I'm just imagining him like drinking his coffee and his lazy boy. Was that a bee slapping against the wall? That sounds like a bee slaps. It sounds like tens of thousands of bee slaps. I'd know that sound anywhere. That's the distinct sound of a bee abdomen whacking into a plaster wall. Very strange. You'd think any other noise that a bee can make would be louder than that.

I heard the bees sneezing. They're around a lot of pollen, so that checks out. As a new high miner in East Point, just outside of Atlanta, the 26-year-old CNN employee, Oh, hang a moment. What a twist, I didn't see this when I was reading it. 26 year old CNN employee. Oh, hang a moment. What a twist, I didn't see this when I was reading it. So this is a guy who works at CNN. It was just like, you guys are not gonna believe what happened to me.

No, no, no, I think this is, I think he's been made the clown of CNN. Everyone's like, hey, gotten rid of your tens of thousands of bees yet, Dave? Instead of doing a team building exercise, I just hired a guy that everyone can laugh at. Hey, it's the guy with a house full of bees. Every stand up. All right, so what do you got? Hey Dave, you're still still doing the bees? Yeah, got any blockages on on those getting rid of those bees in your house? Still 100,000 bees in there, yep. Hearing them all the time, little slaps, ruined my day, can't sleep for bee slaps. Oh, this is amazing. Also, 26 year old homeowner,

incredible. 26 year old C and an employee didn't even want to begin to think about how much a beehive removal would cost him. So he didn't look into it. I think that's one of the first things that you would want to start thinking about. I think my first thought would be, I wonder how much a beehive removal would cost me. How much of a price would you put on your peace reasonable price for me. If I can afford a house, I could afford $10,000 to live in that house without handing it over to the bees. I think, you know, and I don't know anything about home ownership or even going to the bank, something I never do, but I feel like when you get a home loan, you should ask for $10,000 more than the value of the house to cover... Oh, as a bee contingency. The bee contingency. Just in case you have to get rid of

a hundred thousand bees at an average price of ten cents per bee. Tack on ten grand. I feel like a progressive sort of tax, sort of like superannuation that you can't touch except in in cases of 100,000 bees in your house. This is like a mandatory employer contribution. That's right. You chip in one and a half percent. Just in case. Just in case. Just in case.

The colony built its hive and the floor joys between the upstairs and downstairs in his home. They had been sneaking in through an open scene between the wood and siding and brick foundation. Shifty Bees. I think sneaking it is subscribing a lot of intent to them. I don't think, like, oh, he's not looking quick at the house. Just try to slap against the walls too loudly. Always wakes them up. He's a light sleeper. Looks looks looks looks looks looks like looks like looks like looks like looks like looks like looks 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 the the the the the the the the their. their. their. the up. He's a light sleeper.

Looks like you've got another note on this next sentence here. But he felt there was nothing to be concerned about. And I would once again imply them to shut the fuck up. Actually, no, I don't think that is what you said. Because I'm looking at your note here and it says, Shut the fuck, Upo. Hmm. I don't know whether you can do notes on notes, so I didn't come back to... I should have annotated that, I'm sorry.

Uh, honey bees don't cause a lot of damage, and despite honey being deliciously sweet, I was promised it naturally repels sugar-seeking insects, he said. So it's basically fine. He had stockh syndrome for the bees. Oh, you know what, my house is always vibrating and, you know, there's bees crawling all over my toast all the time, but I, the sugar seeking insects, I think they're staying away. Yeah, like, um, no, my house is going good since we bought. No, it's all good. We're starting to, I think to put in a deck out the back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back the deck out the deck out the deck out the back back back back back back back back the back back back back the back the back the back the the the the the the the the the, I think to put in a deck out the back. I've got some nice, you know, screen doors. They really let the breeze in.

There's one foot of honey in between the two stories. Sort of like a massive honey sandwich. Also, just the logic here of being like, oh, it's fine because my house having a hundred thousand bees and it's keeping the ants away. Yeah, would repel other kinds of insects that aren't 100,000 bees. That's like, okay, so I've got... I've really dodged a bullet vis-a-vis insects. There are 12 wolves living in my backyard, but no raccoons.

They will not come anywhere to me. Terrified of the wolves. And so am I. In late February 2020, when the weather started to warm up, Montgomery went out to mow the lawn and had to duck from all the bees swarming. I was like, okay, it's time to get this taken care of, he said. Four months later. Fair enough. Fair enough.

He called Georgia bee removal, which serves as much of the Southeast and got on the wait list. Last week, Bobby, how would you pronounce that last name you reckon? Schaffer. Schaffer. One of the three people who works at the company came out to finally free Montgandries bees. Kind of flipped the situation on its head there, the bees are now the captives. The bees are the captives. It's like the ending of I am legend. Ah, is it? Okay. Oh boy. It cost Montgomery less than $1,000, which gave him a more positive

outlook on the situation. Interesting they don't specify a price, they just say less than a thousand.. The the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their 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 is the is the is theateateateateateateateateateateateateat. B. Beees. Beees. Beees are theasks. Beees are theaties their. Interesting, they don't specify a price, they just say less than $1,000. Also, what's that price for me? Let's say a thousand bucks, $100,000. That's one cent per B. One cent per B. That is a great dollar and pound bargain. It's hard to see how they're making any money on this deal. Oh, the they they they they they they they they th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. It's to see how they're making any money on this deal. Oh, they on-sell the bees for two cents of bee. Oh. Okay, so it's sort of like a vertically integrated beesness. Well, I mean, the bees were vertically integrated in that they were in between the kind of, now that I know the thing about him being a CNN employee explains

the insane specificity of this story. Yeah. Shesson got to his house around 9 a.m. and was gone shortly afternoon. Cool. And also the way in which his actions are like those of a person that is not quite human, but is like, he's had to take the time to kind of look up in a book to see how to feel about bees in-house. It says he are bad. The price thing is insane to me that he sat on it for so long before they're like, oh,

God, I can't even figure out that. I can't even get a ballpark estimate. With the thermal camera, Chesson was able to find the bees with a heat map before ripping open the ceiling. Using a custom-built bee vacuum. Amazing. Shasson safely sucked up what he estimated to be about 100,000 bees. He said a normal colony for comparison was only about 10,000 to 80,000 bees. So he didn't just have a bee colony in his house. He had a massive bee colony in his house. So is he... Okay, actually I won't go into that because it answers my question in the next sense.

All right, here we go. The bee vacuum sucks the bees into a special chamber with a modified shop back. So my thought on this is that it's a regular shop vacuum that he's put some sort of filter on, like a netting that catches the bees in it. Does that sound like he's taken one and removed the filter and then attached like a big balloon at the back of it that fills up with bees. Don't pop it. Just carry it very safely to wherever it has to go and then a little pin in it. Each chamber holds about 30,000 to 40,000 bees. I was just like, oh, cartridge is full.

Got 40,000 bees in there. That's so many bees. If I picture 1B. OK. Yeah. 100 bees, I'm like, oh, that's a lot of bees. A thousand bees. 40,000 bees.

That's nearly one b for every person living in Harvey Bay. Do you think he's ever like pulled over by the police on the way home from a job? Like, sir, I'm gonna need to, need you to step out of the car and open up one of these bags for me, which I'm gonna peer into. He's like, like, off so I don't think we need, we don't need to do this. Well, that's what they all say. I'm just going to stick my head right into this vibrating bag. And then I'm going to need you to just open it directly so I can see right into it. And just shake it around so that the contents are jostled so I can see if the the thethe top layer. Oh no! It is 40,000 bees. After removing the hive, Chasan said that there was evidence that there had been another hive in that exact spot that if you removed

years ago. At that point, give up. I'm enjoying this the through light on this episode. This is entirely unexpected through light that history will continue repeating itself despite man's best intentions. Oh, it's so true. It's exactly like the plot of Eternal Sunshine. Mm-hmm. Or another better example that I can't think of. He had to eternally sunshine himself to forget the last time of being.

First of all, he's not 26 and he's not a new hormona. He's 28 and he lived in that house for two years. This is why he's worried about how expensive it is. It's less than 1,000 to get the bees removed and then $400,000 to undergo the Eternal Sunshine procedure. His subconscious is trying to keep him away from the bee surface. Oh my god. Showson removed nearly 60 pounds of honeycomb, which was melted down into wax and donated to a local craftsperson.

That's actually quite nice. That's a very careful thing to do. What's a crafts person? Like a, like a, um, are there a butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker, I'd say. I think those are those possibly, yeah, possibly the third. That seems the most likely. Those are the three sectors of industry that I understand. Oh my God, okay, I did not see this one. The bees are settled into a new hive in North Georgia,

joining more than 100 other colonies on Shason's property. Additionally, Shason's neighbor has close to 300 colonies. That is so many bees. It's too many bees. I'm all four bees. I feel like we're really only treating this symptomatically. You think there's maybe an underlying cause which is the existence of millions and billions of bees on the planet?

This is the bees world. Shosons in front of his map, just putting pins in this big circle around the neighbor. Another 100,000 bees today. There's got to be some sort of pattern. There's just a massive block in the middle, is it? The beekeeper. The honey did not go to a local distributor, Montgomery said. The guy who usually takes it just got a load a few days ago, was not in a position to

process more. What an odd detail to include in the story. Connect the dots. There's too much honey from too many rescued bee colonies. This is a purely a bee-related industry that just entire town popped up cottage industries around removing beehives and then recycling their contents into useful products. Right, you haven't watched upstream colour yet, have you? I haven't. Oh, well that would have been a perfect thing to compare this to

but I'm waiting until you come over to my house and then watch that goddamn movie that I love. Shazan said this happens all the time but the honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey honey, but the honey, but the honey, but the honey, but the honey, but the honey, but the honey, but too, but I'm waiting until you come over to my house and then watch that Goddam movie that I love. Shazan said this happens all the time, but the honey wouldn't go to waste. He poured it into his yard creating a golden buffet for the hundreds of thousands of bees near the property. Montgomery is happy to be free. They did the same joke the word free for both parties. The bees have been freed, but Montgomery has also been freed.

Oh, kind of like when a toxic couple gets divorced. Or when... They both go to live on. A Waffle House cook and an angry boyfriend kill each other, releasing themselves from their eternal struggle. The last part of this story is I think maybe my favorite part and he even got to keep some of the sealing honey for himself. Who else would that honey belong to? The government takes your ceiling honey. I'm sorry so you didn't actively cultivate that honey so you don't get to keep that. He's teaching his children about socialism by saying, well look, we've got, how, 60 pounds of honeycomb. Now imagine the government takes 30.

Doesn't seem fair, does it? And I'm not giving it back to you, because this wasn't just a real example. I'm taking this off you. No, giving that to Shea so he can pour it into a trough in his yard. With a big side saying, more beans come here, please. It's just like the way they used to get rid of motor oil by digging out a plug of dirt and pouring it into a bunch of rocks.

And by the time he gets ready to pour in another load of honey. The ground has absorbed the previous load of honey? Yep, that's how it works. That's also what you can do with asbestos, I'm pretty sure. So instead of forming an aquifer, it would form a bequeather. Hmm. It felt like you really, the confidence with which you went into that made me think that you had something. Yeah. Yeah. And sometimes you just got to take that leap, you. Okay. Okay. Okay. 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 that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. th. thoing. tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooea. Yep. the the thoea. thooeaa. Yep. Yep. Yep. that's that's that's that's that's that's that you had something... Yeah. Yeah. And sometimes you just got to take that leap, you know.

Okay. I think that's about all we've got time for today. Unless you feel like you've got any more bee puns, you want to sort of attempt just on the fly. No. No, no. I was halfway through I kind of thought, oh, you know, this is sort of our the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's that's that's that's all. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. th. th. that. that. th. that's about. that's about. the. the. the th. the the th. the th. the the th. th. that. that's about. that's about. that. that. that's that.. But that sort of, I feel like the moment for that came and went, so I didn't end up doing that one. But you just, you'd do it just then. No, I'm feeling, I feel like I can have my cake and eat it too on that one. Yeah, well, it's probably, you don't want to eat a cake you don't have to eat a cake you don't want to eat a the the the the the the the the the the the the the to eat a the the the to eat to eat a to eat to eat to eat the the to eat the to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat tha tho' thathea that, thatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheathe can keep the honey that's inside your house. Yeah. You don't have to give that anyway. I mean give it to some family and friends.

That's a nice gift. A little jar of artisanal honey. Yeah, you don't have to put that down on Section G of your tax form, which says other income. 60 pounds of honey. How many liters of honey did you have? I actually had a $7,000 tax bill this year because I didn't declare my honey what I got it. So, yeah, watch out for that when tax time comes around or you'll be stung by the BTO. Anyway, we'll see you next week.

The most expected I've ever been. Bye. Bye. you know the today
