Welcome to Plunting us Vista episode 244. My name is Andrew and I'm here on the commentary desk at the 2022 Johannesburg Saliva Production Olympics. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Joburg. The birds are singing. The sky is blue and if you can ignore most of the accents, you're going to have a great time. And we're just in time now to watch the semifinal heat of the 200 milliliter spittle chase. The starting member of each team is holding onto their 200 milliliter cup and is keenly watching

the start as pistol. And they're off! Checking in now with the second member of Australia's team waiting for his turn to spit in the big cup once it hits the one-third mark. It's Theo. Theo, how wet is that whistle? Look, it's a, it's actually really dry at the moment. It's kind of a common misconception that you want to get it really wet beforehand, because that's just wasteful. You're going to lose a lot to evaporation there there there there there there there there there there there there there there their their their their their to to vapor their to vapor their to vapor their to vapor to vapoas, to vapoas, to vapors, to vapors, to to to to to their their to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the moment. It's kind of a common misconception that you want to get it really wet beforehand because that's just wasteful. You're going to lose a lot to evaporation there,

to vapors. You want to keep it as dry as possible. And by the time that cup comes out, you are just ready to fire, like Pavlov's dog with the bell ringing, myary glands are sticking up like too little... It's the same, it's actually the same tissue as erectile tissue. Did you know that in your saliva glens? Not a lot of people know that. Hence the common ejaculatory reaction. And to me, it sort of, brings a lot of the same excitement as well. So to say, am I ready for this? Yeah, I think I'm ready.

Ha ha. He's never been more ready. And now our crew crosses to a protester who claims that this event and in fact the entire saliva production Olympics are, quote, unnecessary and quote, really gross. I speak of course of Liz Duck Chong, a writer, poet, carpenter, big lesbian, and one of the owners of Marrickville-based reclaimed timber merchant among the trees. Liz, I must now ask the question that the whole world needs an answer to, what's your problem? Yeah, what's your fucking deal?

You don't like... I just, you know, as... I feel like that spit belongs in someone else's mouth not in a cup I'm here for I'm here for it needs to be you know used efficiently ethically properly every drop is sacred you're saying absolutely absolutely we shall not I a single drop hitting the ground we're seeing those cups on TV and just thinking that's it's just such a waste oh boy that's that's so true that's so true that's so true that's so so that's so the the the so the so the so the th. so the so the the the true. true. true. true. true. I so true. I so true. I's so true. So that's so that's so that's so that's so that's so the the the that's so that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the true. true. I true. I true. So true. So true. So. I's so true. So. So. I's true. true. true. true. the. the. the. that's the. the. the, that's, it's just such a waste. Oh boy, that's so true, that's so true. It's somehow the grossest line to take. The rest of the protesters are trying to get me, get rid of me, they can't stand me.

Yeah, yeah, you're the picking us look bad. I'm out here with a big sign that says more spit so uh... The problem is that, yeah, they're a thirsty children. We all know that the corrupt, um, the corrupt, uh, I, S, P, O, C. Uh, you know, you think. Yeah, they, they, they, they, uh, they round all that spit up at the end and they, they sell it they're corrupt, you know, they sell it to the highest bidder. They're not redistributing it. That's they should be going to orphans like it used to. That's right, that's right.

They should be finding the most dry-mouthed orphans in all of Johannesburg distributing it equally. It used to be that it was just one person making their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, their, the, th, th, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, threat, threat, threat, thoge, thoge, thoge, thoge, thoge, thoooooooooooomoboombs, their, their, their, their own spit and as much spit that they could for the day and they would trade that for bread or honey or grains, et cetera. Now, what with capitalism and the rise of industrialism, they're just scooping off the top of that spit, the whole time. The bigwigs are scooping off the top of the spit. The fat cats in Canberra and Johannesburg, I guess, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're all, they're all, they're all, they're all, they're all they're all they're all they're they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they, they're, they're, they're, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're all. they're all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all today.a, today.a, today.a, they're all all all all all all all all all all all all today, they're all all all all all the, the spit, the fat cats in Canberra and Johannesburg, I guess, they're all taking a taste of that foam off the top.

And they don't want you to know this, but those, you know, the corporate elites don't produce any spit of their own. No. No, they need, they need us. More than we need them. That's More than we need them. That's th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th than th th than th th th th th th they thue, that's true. They're producing 1% of the spit. Yeah, 99% of the spit goes to the 1% their enormous oasis. And they always say, they always say, it's a trickle-down spit economy, and that's not true. That's not true, there is no moisture coming from up there. No, no, they're long dry. I'm dry as a bone down here. Oh my goodness. Hey. Hey, speaking of some horrible dry. Hey, it must be time to cross. It must be time to cross to our 6 p.m. news update.

And we're in the heat of an election season, folks. Now I know what you're thinking. Is it time for Buente Vista to become a staunch politics podcast once again? Are we going to get political? Are we going to get political? I mean I like the idea that you know, every few years you just have a few, you know, it comes in waves and we never know quite when it's going to happen.

But also, who needs that? That's true. Frankly, this podcast is a space space space space space space space space space space space space is a space space is a space space space space is a space space space is a space space space space is a space space space is a space space space is a space space space space space is a space. this podcast is a space. this podcast is a space. th. th. th. th. thiolk, th. thiol, thi. thi, thioliol. thiol. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th That's true. That's true. This, frankly, this podcast is a space for blissful ignorance for both the listeners and the hosts. I'm so glad that this podcast, like we did make a mistake or anything like that because this election is possibly even more depressing than the last one. Damn that rocks. But I don't suppose Theo that we have any, especially insane people running for election this year.

Oh, well, that's where you're wrong, because we have a complete smorgasbord of the wettest minds, the most smooth-brained people. I speak, of course, of Australia's burgeoning United Australia Party, united as it is, under huge sack of human waste, failed businessmen, billionaire. Did you ever get that fucking Jurassic Park thing off the ground? Or Titanic 2? Titanic 2, yeah, the sequel we all want it. Clive Palmer. And of course, now, thate thate, as-it thate, as it is, that. as it, as, as, as, as, as, th as th as th as th as th as th as th as th as it, th as it, th as it, th as it, thi, th as it is, thi, th as it is, th as it is th as it is th as it is th as it is, th as it is thi, th as it is th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, th as it is, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, to, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thatea. thatea. thateateateate, thateat that thate, thate, thia, thi, th? Titanic 2, yeah, the sequel we all want. Clive Palmer, of course now joined by the meltiest of melts, Craig Kelly, ex-Libral party, two insane for the liberal party, and they have fronted candidates everywhere,

left, right and center, you name it, there's a UAP candidate. So I thought to get started tonight we might play a little game. I Have called in want of anything better u.ap or u. a porky pies. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to present to you guys a number of candid profiles Profiles. Hold on can I briefly explain something for our international listeners? Is that porcupies means lies? Means a lie, that's right. That's a bit of the old cocky rhyming slang right there. Yeah, and you have to tell me, so I'm a I'm a candidate for the UAP or I seem like, oh, that's very disappointing. Yeah, you tell me whether I'm a UA whether I'm a UAP candidate or a Porky Pie. I had a way to say this, but that's clearly not it, and I didn't write it down.

Okay, so I've got a number of profiles here, some of them I've just straight up made up. I would like you to, to discuss and come up with an answer between the two of you for each of these and keep score. Need to form a consensus here, Liz. It's a former consensus. I want to, we need to be a scientific coalition. Oh, yes. A coalition.

All right. Let's kick off. We've got Tim Coombs from Oxley, the CP welcomes Tim Coombs as candidate for the seat of Oxley. South Australian-born Tim started his career in the Army Reserves, developing many practical life skills, including discipline, leadership, decision-making, and self-confidence. Moving to Queensland 2014, that's a bit weird. He established himself as a personal coach, then business coach. He now works with an educational company mentoring business students. Tim values integrity and

standing for what is right and just. He believes in being honest, open and fair, and he holds himself to the highest ethical standards. He is stepping into politics to stand up and push back against the abuse of human rights after watching the major parties turn against Australian people and leaders turn their back on the major parties turn against Australian people and leaders turn their back on their constituents. They're talking about vaccines. It's a big vaccine deal. Tim says, quote, the current government has an agenda that is not in favor of the Australian

people. It's time to unite and take back our freedom. Under the right leadership, we will restore the Commonwealth Constitution, preserve future generations and realize the enormous potential of this country. Tim's hobbies include traveling, cooking, and spending time with his six rescue hens. Discuss. Fuck me. All right, so... It rules because all of these could be generated by a fucking AI. Absolutely. I mean like I feel like I feel like... Either this is real or you Mr. Calling writing political fan fiction. Because this, I know, it feels so down the line. Yeah, I, all all right, so my view here, and I have a somewhat of a window into the mind of Theo.

Really small window, big mind. But I think that this one, like I said, this one is very straight down the line. And I think it would be particularly cruel of Theo at this point to make up something that incredibly dead on for a just kind of right-wing UAP candidate and pass it off as a lie just to throw us off right at the beginning of the game. I would be devilish wouldn't it? It would be.

I feel like that tripping over that word felt so intentional. I just, like missing a word in there that was just, I don't know, if that was fake, that was a moment of genius. The master stroke there. To mistype something. Because he was either reading somebody else's typo and saying, oh, that's a bit weird that there's a typo in there, or he realized it in the moment, it said that's a bit weird that I left a typo in there...... their their th. th. Or th. That's th. That's, th. That's, thiii. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that that's, that's, thi, thi, 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 a thi, I's a thi, thi, thi, thi, th. So, that's, th. So, th. So, that's, th. So, that's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's a that's a thi. that's a thi. that's a that's a that's a that's a thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. that's a that's a thi. that's a bit weird that I left a typo in there. No, or the third potential of course is that the performance is part of the fiction. Yeah, well of course. Damn, he's good. So I'm gonna I'm gonna have a little faith in Theo here and say I think that this is a this is like a bog standard boring UAP candidates profile and I think that that this is basically a calibration point. So the other the other possibility like we said is that he has deliberately and cruelly written an incredibly boring entry

just to fuck with us right at the beginning and I don't think that's what's happening so my vote personally. Yeah, I'm with you. I have full faith and belief in Theo's mastermind abilities, but I'm gonna take the bait. Yeah, no, that one's real. All right, so. So he's not a cruel son of a bitch.

No, no, no. Next up, Cyril Servanjack for Carangamite Victoria. The UAP welcomes Cyril Servanjack as a candidate for the seat of Carangamite. Cyril emigrated to Australia at the age of eight in 1956, at the height of communist repression under Tito, has since come to call Australia home as a fully naturalized citizen. Fully familiar with leftist fascism, Cyril was dismayed to see it arrive on the shore of his adopted country, Australia in the form of vaccine mandates and harsh shots-outs. Cyril says, quote, I am endeavored to run as the UAP candidate for Karangamite. It is of the utmost importance to me that we stand up to the thread of creeping authoritarianism from the political joeoply currently leading us to ruin.

It is as the Iliad says, quote, the proud heart feels not terror, nor turns to run, and his own courage that kills him. Cyril resides in southwestern Victoria with his wife, two adult sons and blue healer Blackie. This is going to be so hard. Oh my god. Fuck, I had to stop myself immediately from googling that name. Um, I was like no. Cyril's servant, Jack, what a...

Damn. Um, oh, fuck. I don't, this is a uniquely trans experience, but occasionally as someone who changed my name, to the Damn. Um, oh, fuck. I don't, this is a uniquely trans experience, but occasionally as someone who changed my name as an adult, I hear a name and thought I fucked up. Like, I could have, I could have gone way out there. I could have got some assonance in there. Absolutely. My goodness. What do you, what do you think Liz? I, I want to believe it's real. I want to believe

it feels Terrifyingly accurate. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, particularly the the particularly the I know what fascism's like. Yes. Kind of thing. All right. Are we going to say real again? We're going to say, we're putting in, we're hitting the big buzzer and saying real. Is that locked in? It is locked in. No, I wrote that one. Fuck.

Shit! It's going to be very difficult. All right, next up we got Gerondine Hoogland. Shit. It's going to be very difficult. All right, next up, we got Geronde Hoogland. Oh no! Gerondin Hoogland. But he's going to be able to give us a fake one with a really silly name and then back it straight up to a real one with a really silly name.

For Lily Queensland, UAP welcomes political theorist and a writer, Gerardine Hoogland as candidate for Lily. Gerardine's passion is the politics of ancient Republican Rome. Gerridine has worked for federal, local government politicians in an advisory and administrative capacity and in the private sectors of print media, construction, higher education and IT. Gerardine also supports her husband Edward in the administration of their small family building business over the last 35 years and provides for the special needs of their eldest daughter to become a well-recognized and loved member of their community. Geridine champions the freedom of all to achieve their greatest potential without government overreach. She says, quote, my commitment to preserving liberty and freedom have motivated me to run for

the federal electorate of Lily where my family have lived for 17 years. Gerardine and Edward are parents to three amazing children, an incredible son in law and a treasured eight month old grandson. That's Geridine Hoogland. Okay, so, I, again, this ticks the, this ticks all the right boxes as far as, as far, like, what, what was the Helen Davidson the lady who worked for like David Lienholm and and did that whole plagiarism thing where she like pretended to be a Polish lady or something writing about a Ukrainian I think it was yeah they're just some of those people who have that vibe of like I'm very interested

in Rome, so I understand the nature of modern democracy. Yeah, they love, these guys love Republican, the Republican Rome. It's, it's so cool because they, it's got everything. It's the fucking Jordan Peterson bait. Hmm. Completely. Okay. Oh, I reckon, we've got to, I'm going to move this along.. We to go to go to go the to go the to to the to to the to to to the to to the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the to to to to understand to understand the nature to to to to to to to to to the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature the nature 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 thoenentermode-a thoenenenenneneneneneneau-a-a-a-nateatea-natea-nate of thoomater-natea-natea-natea-natea-natea-natea-natea-natea-natea-nate-s. thea-se Jordan Peterson bait. Completely. Excuse me. Okay.

All right, we're gonna move this along. We've got a lot of candids. My barometer is completely. Go with your heart. I think this one is real. Me too. Yeah, that one's real. Oh, the thrown.

I need to keep score at this point. Are we two for three? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. that one. 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. th. the. the. the. to. th. the. tho. to. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho.'s a real person. I need to keep score at this point. Are we two for three? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Stephen Grant for Sturt, South Australia. Steve was born in Stirling South Australia, predominantly growing up in Australia's

northern suburbs. He is a life member of Elizabeth football club in Central District's cricket club. He has resided in the Sturt electorate for 17 years. After matriculating, capital M in 1974, Steve has been very successful in 10 different industries. The building industry, including a tafe course in building technology, working with all trades as a cadet, storm and duties, ordering materials and distribution. This was followed by a semester at Teachers College before returning to the building company. An opportunity arose to join the family transport business due to expansion. Twenty years in this industry included traveling throughout Australia delivering bulk wine in

tankers. As a successful promoter, Steve and partners toured several music acts. In more recent time, Steve has co-founded and directed two startup enterprises in the world of sports, entertainment, and media. His focus is firmly fixed on being the successful candidate for Sturt and becoming next Julie elected member. How are we feeling? I feel like that one's too boring to be fake? Same. It's just... Yeah, that one's real. Yes. All right. We're doing well here. All right. Run a roll now. Three one. Yeah. Gregory throwered for Gipsleon, Victoria. Gregory was born and raised in southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, who was born the youngest of four boys and received a Catholic

education. There's a lot of Catholics in this list. His father was a mechanical engineer with the State Electricity Commission while his mother ran the household. His brothers became tradesman, while Gregory completed a degree in agricultural science and has been in agriculture ever since. Now has a wife and three daughters. Professionally he has been a sale, sales agronomist, which is selling chemicals and fertilizers to farmers. From there he moved into chemical risk management. His family moved from Melbourne to the country where he became part-time trials coordinator for a local farmer group and started his own farm consulting business. 11 years old, 11 years ago his family took the plunge

and bought their farm. They now have a flourishing property and an award-winning egg business. It is taken literally, is quote, it's literally taken blood, sweat and tears and been a battle for the whole way. The key is being to get back up after every kick. Our resilience has been learned through experience, but inspiration for me personally is being through the self-directed learning,

he says about his farming career. At age 47, he finds the greatest sense of clarity from the works of Einrand, Thomas Sobel, and Frederick Hayek in particular. So I see myself today as an individual with objectivist, libertarian, and capitalist values. Those works were Einrand, Thomas Sowl and Frederick Hayak. That's the part that makes me think this one's fake. I know, yeah.

These guys don't read books. I feel like if it had just been iron round I'd be like maybe. Hmm. Are we locking in fake? Oh yeah, yeah, let's do it. No, that one's real. Fuck. All right, three to two.

All right, Morris Murdoch for Corio Victoria. Flying high as the UAP candidate and Corio electorate, career pilot and aviation specialist Morris Murdoch will run as UAP's candidate in the Division of Corio. Morris is deeply frustrated with the current leadership and he asserts that Australia is to have new governance. Quote, sadlyl. I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 more. that's th. th. that's more. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. 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. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's.o. th.o. th.o. th. th. asserts that Australia is to have new governance. Quote, sadly I see our country and all that we held dear is in decay. Our political representatives are devoid of principles and integrity. Australians desperately need a parliament of patriotic principled representatives who governs selflessly for their constituents and not for themselves.

Morris had never contemplated politics as a career until now. He considers running for the seat of Coria is necessary, indeed vital, and his vision is clear. Quote, I want to serve our people. Morris is currently an airline captain. He holds a master's degree and his qualified commercial bus and truck driver, a qualified African Safari Guide and a coxswain class one. Fake, fake. I think he's tipped his hand right at the end there. Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I just I kind of love this person who is like a pilot truck driver, bus driver. Um, qualified African Safari guy and Coxway in class one. Like that is a a gentleman right there.

But I'm gonna I'm gonna go with you. I do I reckon's fake. It's real. Farris Murdoch is real. Truth is stranger than fiction. All right next. And Bessa Cabrera for Bean ACT. Um, that's a real, that's a real election. Bean. Bean ACT. Is that your electorate? Andrew?

Are you in the seat of Bean? I feel like you would have heard about it if I was in the seat of Bean. All right, sorry. Anbessa Cabrera for Bean ACT. Anbessa is a second generation Australian, the descendant of German Argentinian great grandparents, and is pleased to be standing as the candidate for Bean.

Having built up a successful hot-air balloon rental company over 25 years, servicing the ACT and Central New South Wales, and Besson knows what it's like to suffer the tragic loss loss of business and reputation, taking a stand against the cruel and repressive mandates, making local headlines as the, quote, Vax-free King of the Skies. It's hard to stay 1.5 meters away from everyone in the hot air balloon basket. Leading is in Anbessa's blood, having come from a long line of successful leaders and nation builders home and abroad. We're not working or pursuing politics, Ambessa spends time collecting geological hammers, picks, and sorting meshes from the 1930s and 1940s. Ann Bessar is proud to stand for Bean and stand for Australia. What do you reckon?

I'm so lost. I'm so lost. Just like a weather vein flying in the storm. Yeah. Oh, what do you think Liz? I've totally lost my confidence here. I've lost my confidence. Yeah. What do you think, Liz? I have totally lost my confidence here. I've lost my confidence.

I want to say... Real? Want to say that an anti-Vax so hot air balloon operator who collects rock picks in the 20s couldn't possibly be real, but... It sounds like the UAP yeah but I feel like the last the last three of them have been real would you for a fake one hmm this is this is maybe that's how he gets us it is the gambler's folly

I was gonna say yeah you're doing the fucking the Monte Carlo thing it's it's got to come up fake to the thi it's the that the gable thick thi it's thi it's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that to to to to to to be to be the the to be the the the the to be to be the to be the the the to be to be that the the the the the the the the the the th the th th th th th th th th th the the 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 the that the that the the the that the the that the that the that that that that say yeah you're doing the fucking the Monte Carlo thing. It's got to come up fake you know. Yeah. God. I'm tossing my hat into real just getting my teeth. Real we're going to get fucked here. No that one was fake. Ah shit. All right, we're now... King of the Skies. Also, didn't the great grandparents being war criminals didn't tip you off. Well, some people in the UAP wouldn't mind that, you know? Yeah, no, that's sure.

It feels like a very... If someone wanted to get into politics and they had war criminals in their past, I feel like, yeah. It's where you go. Okay, last one, guys. There is, I wanted to search during that to confirm whether or not there was an electorate called Bean in the OCT. There is an electrical bean. All of the electorates are real. Okay.

Finally, Dean Vegas for Moncrief, Queensland. This one's going to be really hard to get through. Dean comes from humble beginnings and is no stranger to hard work and responsibility. He's been self-employed almost his entire life. At the age of seven, he was put into an orphanage and was living in a housing commission by age 12 in Sydney's western suburbs. He got his first job at the abattoir in Sydney at only 15 and traveled over 80 kilometers every single day to work.

At 21, he started my own business, he started my own business. He started my own business as a paver and purchased my first house. Four years later, he moved to Queensland and set up his paving business again. The highlight of his career and that for which he is known best is the Elvis business he started at age 33. At age 38 he competed in the world's largest Elvis festival and won best Elvis in the world. He did not fake. In 2007 he was invited to Tupilo, Elvis Presley's birthplace, sorry for mispronouncing that, where he became the first person in the world to receive the key to the city. In addition to his stage career he is experienced

politically. In 2008 he ran for Mayor of the Gold Coast where he received almost 21,000 votes. He is also a proud father of four and a grandfather of seven beautiful kids, Dean Vegas from Moncrief, Queensland. Fuck me. Okay, so we're talking about Theo psychology here, and I think, I think this is the most insane one that he has built all the rest of it around. Because everything in my brain screams, that can't be real.

Which makes me think maybe it is real. It's gotta be. Oh my god, I don't know. I don't know what to do. Look, I have a, I have a, I have, at 38, he competed in the world's largest Elvis festival. I feel like my feeling. Elvis in the world.. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is that???? Is that. It is that. It is that. It is that. It is that. It is that. It is that? It is that. It is that.

No, that one's real.

Dean Vegas is an Elvis, I'm just looking at his Wikipedia now. He's performing around the world as Elvis. Was he the number one Elvis? It was the number one Elvis. Fuck. Like, like I could live with UAP candidate who is an Elvis impersonator. I can't deal with was deemed the world's greatest Elvis impersonator. Because you know what? There's so many of them. There's so many of them. Why would it be a guy from Australia?

God! Dean Elvis? Dean Vegas, sorry. I'm assuming that Dean Vegas was not his birth name. Do they have it in the article? Just wondering around saying, Viva, Las, Dean Vegas. God damn, that'd be a great slogan. How would you feel about voting for a candidate who, like, what's it me call,

I campaigned as an Elvis? I mean, look, I'm not gonna hold it against them to be perfectly honest. At least they've done something instead of career. Imagine being, imagine the kind of cretine you'd have to be to, we probably can't say that word anymore, imagine what kind of horrible, bridge person. You'd have to be to be a, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a kind a kind a, like a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind a kind to be, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a kind of a to to to to to to to to to to, we probably can't say that word anymore, imagine what kind of horrible bridge person. You'd have to be to be like a career ALP person at this point in time. Dean Vegas has also been in movies. Oh, he's got three albums.

He has the album Get Down and Dirty. The album, Tribute to Elvis. And of course, the to be to the the the the. to be to be to be to be. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be He has the album Get Down and Dirty, the album Tribute to Elvis, and of course, the album Rapin' with the King. Which I so desperately hope is him performing rap in the guys of Elvis. Absolutely. It has to be. He was also in the direct to video sequel to the 1997 film George of the Jungle, George of the Jungle 2, in the role of, you'll never guess, Elvis impersonator. Oh, I was going to guess Elvis. That's worse. Do you guys want to hear a bit of rapping with the king? Please, are we... Yeah.

Yeah. What are we going to hit here? We got time. Uh, okay, so we've got, um, this is, this is from the 2001 album, rapping with the king. Uh, by Dean Vegas. Let's see what's up here. This guy rules. This is actually good. Yeah, no, he's got a...

Yeah, I know he's got a... I'm a try to rap in the over's voice. Yeah, I'm a try to rap in the over's voice. Yeah, I appreciate that he's trying to rap in the over's voice. Yeah. Yeah. an American Eagle in their brawlitia. I'm a king. Beautiful. Dean Vegas. That rules he should be, you should be prime minister,

except for the whole, whatever his political views are. I really want to know, uh, okay, so that was released in 2007, and that is not what I would consider the 2007 concept of rap music. No. That's, that's kind of like, uh, uh, that's kind like like, the like, the like, the, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's, the like, that, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind of like, that's kind of like, that's kind of like, that's kind that's kind that's kind of like, that's kind that's kind that's kind of like, that's kind that's kind that's kind of like, that's kind of like, that is not what I would consider the 2007 concept of rap music. No. That's kind of like where it was out in about 1992 maybe. Yeah. So I think we could probably forgive Dean Vegas for not being 100% of the date. That was on YouTube. That has a zero thumbs up and 10 views.

Oh, that's a shame. Although, if I refresh the page, it's still on 10. We were one of the 10, don't worry. Wow. Wow, that was, uh, you've truly tortured me, Theoo we've got it. We have a very literal through line to the next article And you need you to know this. Yeah, I know But I just just before we move on I want to say I'm looking at photos. I want to say I'm looking at photos. I want to say Elvis. So I don't I don't know what it is that is supposed to make a great impersonator. I know that for

some people like they really capture the essence of a person you know rather than just just physically looking exactly like them. You got to get the swagger you got to get the wrap. You got to get the rap. You got to get the famous Elvis rap. You gotta be ready to drop Elvis bars at any opportunity, you know. Anyway, sometimes you're operating a hot air balloon business, refusing to get vaccinated, getting ready to push people out of the balloon if they say things like, don't cough on my face. And these are the sorts of shenanigans that you can get up into a balloon and we cover these sorts of things on this week's edition of Balloonly Speaking.

I don't know which stinger to use. How about this one? Balloonly Speaking. I'm gonna have to sort that out. This comes to us from the Gila Herald in Arizona. The occupants of a hot air balloon received a shocking end to their ride Sunday morning. Wink, wink, wink. When the balloon collided with utility lines... Oh, right. The balloon collided with utility lines and caught fire just after 7 a.m.

Fuck. That's such a nightmare. That's not what you want to happen with the balloon.. No. No. fire just after 7 a.m. Fuck. That's such a nightmare. That's not what you want to happen with the balloon. Top 10 things, you don't want to happen in a hot air balloon. Yeah, I've... It's just that fucking, uh, tarot card tweet. The Steffin Heck tweet, the, uh, the tarot card reader flips over a card showing me in th in, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. 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, the, the, the, the, the, th...-a, th.-a, th.-a, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. That's, the-a, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-n. That's, the. That's, the. That's, the Stefan Heck tweet, the tarot card reader flips over a card showing me in a hot air balloon running into power lines.

Is that good? Yeah. Just before I went hot air ballooning, I've already told the story on air, but I think this is very relevant because in New Zealand, just prior to that, there was that accident where the hot air balloon ran into power lines and everybody either died on fire or died on fire jumping out of the thing. And it was not a cool thing as I ascended to the air with our French hot air balloonist pilot twirling his horrible little mustache. Oh, I am Monsieur Vegas!

The pervert of this guy! It's the last person you want to be up there with really. According to Graham County Sergeant Jacob Carpenter, hey, just like you. The balloon... The balloon operated by AZ Air Ventures experienced a mechanical malfunction and lost thrust. How the fuck does it have, there's no bits to it. There's a balloon. There's a balloon.

And like an open fire or something. I think what happened is, you know how, you know how they like yank down on a handle that makes the gas go? I reckon they had a little cog up there. No, I think the handle came off. I think they pulled down on the handle and then like the cable came down with it and he was just holding it

and looking around at the people in the basket. The cable cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable cable cable cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's cable's to cable's the cable's to cable's to cable's to to to the cable's the cable's the cable is the cable is the cable in the basket. The cable's done that. Oh, that just happened. Yeah. MERS. Someone have a spare cable. So they're lost thrust. The crew members attempted to avoid the power station along Ray Lane. However, when doing so, the balloon clipped a utility line upon its descent.

The broken utility wire then caught the balloon on fire, and the occupants of the balloon used an on-board fire extinguisher, great thinking ahead, to put out the blaze, according to Sergeant Carpenter. I'm just going to put it out there. A little, little inside baseball for those of us not in the power grid industry. Or the hot air balloon. Well, I'm not Or the hot air balloon industry? All the hot air balloon, well I'm not in the hot air balloon industry, but I am in the power grid industry. There's a lot of power lines around power stations, and I think as far as the hot air balloon's natural habitat goes,

for them, it's like the, it's the apex predator of fire balloons. Oh dear. Oh dear. Sort of like no natural kind of defense against them. AZ Air Ventures offers various ride packages offering stunning views of the Gila Valley. I'm assuming none of those packages involves. We run into the power lines and see what happens. Pilot... Well, we kind of get into this again.

Yeah. They don't, on the brochure, they don't have like any of the people in the hot air balloon with their arms and legs sticking out a big sort of zigzaggy line around them and they're just a skeleton. They don't show you that that's the part they don't want you to see. Yeah. Once again... Experience the excitement of asking yourself, jump or burn? Yes. I'm glad Lucy isn't here to hear us refer to this balloonist as a pilot. Pilot Greg Lindsay told the gila herald that his wife's the, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the thi, 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 th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, theean, thean, theanususususususususususususususususususususususususususususususususususususus, their, the hear us refer to this balloonist as a pilot. Pilot Greg Lindsay told the Gila Herald that his wife Susan was piloting, quote, just

ducky, end quote. What the fuck? Is that the name of the balloon? That is the name. Oh, I think it is the name of the balloon. Yeah, I thought he was saying she was she was doing fine yeah I thought that was her piloting style yeah sorry no it's cab but I think that is the name Susan was piloting just ducky when it hit the power lines and he was in a different balloon

because I would say that she wasn't piloting just ducky you know as a description as she was running into the power lines. Yeah. No, no. Generally speaking. Not Ducky at all. It's gonna get you a bad- Zero doggie. Duckless. Uh, he said they were still at the site waiting for FAA approval to remove the balloon.

Just Ducky is 75 feet tall by 55 feet wide and holds 90,000 cubic feet of air. Yes, so don't kind of... I'm gonna be honest... I gotta be honest, that is not a relevant measurement to me. Do you think there's a lot of... How many cubic feet of air you're getting that bad boy? Do you think there's a lot of inflation fetishists as air balloon pilots? Like, oh, what if I make this balloon nice and round? What have you got so big?

So full of 80,000 cubic feet? There's all those balloons that look like people and cartoon characters. Yeah. Someone slowly inflating a March Simpson and being like, oh, yes. Like, oh, these guys want to work at the- Blowing up an enormous Lois Griffin balloon jacking off. I think if you have this fetish, you ideally want to be working on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Yeah, absolutely. Or you want to be piloting the balloon at the, at the Seeger resort. You make Sonic nice and big around. You make him, you might even even the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the th th th at the at the Seeger resort you make you make sonic nice and big and round you make him we might even have a baby in there bouncing sonic blasting snoopy full of hot air carpenter reported that two of the three occupants of the balloon received minor burns from the sparking utility line, but they declined medical treatment offered by paramedics. Okay.

Just be like, oh no thank you. That's fine. I feel good. We read the brochure. Yeah, we saw the zigzaggy lines. We saw the skeletons. As of 8.25 a.m. The power was out. The power was out because a balloon portion of Ray Lane. How mad would you be like, oh your

power's out because a balloon hit the lines. I love what they were saying earlier that they were waiting for like restrictions to lift to remove the balloon like the FAA getting that cool being like so we need to get a 10,000 foot balloon off of this wire. Can you bring a long stick down? Yeah, I wonder whether they had to isolate the lines or something like that, but you would have thought the protection breakers, if not the first zone or ones, maybe the second ones would have operated. Anyway, it's neither here nor there.

So the power was still out. There was still awaiting approval from the FAA before moving the balloon. A crew from the Graham County Electric Co-op is working on restoring the power.

The problem is that you could you could hit a hot air balloon with a lead pipe and nothing much

would happen. I think it would be a very unsatisfying pipe feel. The pipe pipes are very susceptible to power lines, not at all susceptible to lead pipes. Yes, I assume you meant balloons. What did I say? You said pipes are susceptible to lead pipes. That's true. However, the big wicker basket underneath probably got a good pipe feel, you know, the thing that the flames come out of. You probably don't want to whack that too much

You know of course there are many things in the world that those amongst us would like to hit with the lead pipe and we discuss some of them in our segment With the lead pipe. With the lead pipe. She's mighty angry, ready to start a fight. With the lead pipe. She's sweet and red, she's swinging lead. Gonna hit you in the hand, yeah. This comes to us courtesy of friend sweetheart lover. Hollywood sweetheart I've written down here Mike Isaac. I don't think Mike, does Mike live on the West Coast?

He's back. I don't know, but he's got a fucking, he's got a TV show now. Oh yeah, Uber, super pumped. Yeah. He was of course kind enough to say, I think, I assume he sent you.

He was kind enough after appearing on the show to send me a copy of his book, Super Pumped the Battle for Uber, which has now been made into a TV show starring Joseph Gordon Leavitt.

Yeah, America's sweetheart. Yeah, he's got some big stars on that. I was just talking to him about, God, now I forget the guy's name, but he played, um, the weedy guy on Madman. Fuck, this is gonna kill me. Anyway, you got him, Ben Feldman, I'm gonna say. Okay.

Very underrated comic actor. And I'm like, oh, I'm listening. He sent me this to night. I thought, perfect. Let's lead pipe this shit right now while the pipe's hot.

Pipet Live! Yeah, Pipe it live. I've sent you guys in the group chat a picture of this thing. This is the total shield EMF protection. Now this harkens back, as Mike pointed out, to the episode we did on the biocharger NG by serial fraudist

Help me my brain's completely numb at this point. Oh Pete Evans. Pete Evans, thank you. I should remember my number one nemesis's brain, but that's how blessed I am at the moment. I'm not even thinking about my nemesis. But this has got me back thinking about him. The total shield EMF protection. This looks like an enormous PVC pipe with two little feta switches, three LED lights. And it purports. Certain equipment has been developed to protect our magnetic field,

thus helping neutralize harmful electromagnetic fields of radiation. Oh, finally. The sluggishness, hey? Finally, yeah, we're done with thrown with sluggishness, fatiguility, istrain, rashes, and other health problems associated with continuous exposure to high electromagnetic fields above 30 hertz can be counteracted with a device designed to blanken an area of about 20,000 square feet.

Oh damn. This large... Let's just start carrying these around in hot air balloons. Yeah, we could blanket the whole population with this and make sure that they never have to experience an electromagnetic field again. I'm getting a picture here of a sluggish, lazy, nauseous, dizzy, irritable man with a headache covered in rashes and whenever anybody talks to him about his issues he goes, oh it's the 5G. Yeah, it's the 5G. Well as you were reading that, diarrhea, 5G. Yeah, it's a 5G. Well, as you were reading that, Diarrhea, 5G. Yeah, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, irritability, eye strain, rashes, et cetera.

I thought, well, Lucy's on the road at the moment. The large, this larger unit was designed to protect a home or office environment against harmful grid lines, geomagnetic electromagnetic standing waves, extremely low frequencies, elf frequencies, yeah, those elves fucking with you, and other harmful waves. But you might be asking, yeah, all of them, well they literally claim all of these, because you might be asking how this works. Well, it's composed of two separate electronic generators. One generator is a detected device that identifies the frequencies

of the geomagnetic disturbances and gridlines from the environment and broadcasts them back out through a Tesla coil which cancels out the disturbance. So sort of like active noise cancelling for EMF. I'm no like electric specialist but I assume that's kind of the general responsibility of the first of the two knobs. I think so. I think you're actually right on this because there are two generators in this. And the second one, which I assume is the purview of the second knob, is a 7.83 Hertz generator, which duplicates the Schumann resonance, the

resonant frequency of the Earth's magnetic field. So that's probably enough of this bullshit. I just wanted to go through a couple of these things because it turns out you can just like look this stuff up or ask an electrical engineer, which of which I am. I'll ask you then. Hmm. So I did the maths on a couple of these things, by which I googled, wavelength antenna size. And to have, so my thought process on this is they claim to be able to detect

electromagnetic fields above 30, 30 hertz. So you're like power lines above 30 hertz. So you're like power lines are 50 hertz. So they're really like targeting like people afraid of power lines and stuff there. To get an antenna that would be able to detect 30 hertz signal or 30 hertz, when electromagnetic field, it would need to be something like 4,700 kilometers long. Now they don't have scale on this on this picture. I was going to say when you sent it I my immediate feeling was this is person sized. Yeah you feel like it could be between the size of a lamp and the size of a person. Maybe like, I got the vibe from it of being the size of like a small trash can.

Yeah, but none of those options are 4,700 kilometers long. Huh. Also, interestingly, so they have a 7.83 hertz frequency generator. Now, to be able to broadcast that frequency, if you want it to actually hit people, you would need a device that is three times the diameter of the earth, and that's where that 7.83hertz actually comes from. It's because it's the, when it bounces from it's from it, and their, to it's, and to be a point to it and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be to be able, to be, to be able to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be able, to be able, to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to broadcast, to be able to be where that 7.83 hertz actually comes from. It's because it's the, when it bounces from one point to the next to the next, back to the first, that's the Schumann resonance from like lightning and stuff. Now this device I don't think also is, we've ruled it out being 4,700 kilometers long, so I don't think it is something like 300 and something thousand kilometers long either. I'm just going to go out and say it that this is

probably a scam. I don't think this is real. I think but I'm going to say that I think that they think that this is real that does the job. Now what I was interested from you Liz, now you're a bit of a tool head, you're a bit of a lover of hand tools, lovingly crafted, I've seen your Instagram and they are just beautiful. There is something to the feel, the heft of a tool in your hand, right? Absolutely, you know, an old cast iron tool, like you know, a lead pipe has a, you know, there's a pipe feel, but there's also, you know, wrench feel. Yeah, there's wrench feel. And as our, as our tool similiaire, I wanted, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do, familiar, I wanted to, what do you, what do you reckon to absolutely go to town on this bad boy? What would your, you've got your entire tool shed at your disposal? What do we feel

in here? This is, just to remind the listener, it's sort of, I think this is made out of PVC. And it's, yeah, probably, what, 40 centimeters high. Yeah, yeah, I feel like we don't want to go overboard with this one, you know, it's someone's gone down to, you know, Jaycar or Radio Shack and found a few components for a couple of dollars. So I think we're talking, you know, your standard household crowbar. We just want to absolutely lay into it. So when you say household crowbar, like half talking a wrecking bar, like half-life one style, is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which end?

I'm going to go the hooked end, I reckon. I reckon you get the hook end into this guy's, yeah. Get into the top of his dome. All sorts of secrets. Yeah, fuck those waves. I think a classic hammer would do 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 tho thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. annihilate those waves. Yeah, fuck those waves. I think a classic hammer would do would do quite well on this thing. I got one of those. Yeah, I'm talking claw hammer, ballpine. Like I'm talking claw hammer for this.

But also I have a hammer that's like a mini sledge. Yeah, like a little peg hammer. Yeah, so it's it's like a shrunk down slugge. A thamamamamam. A that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like a like a mini sledge. Yeah like a little like a peg hammer. Yeah so it's like a it's like a shrunk down sledge hammer. One side of it is one side of it is squared off like a sledge hammer and the other side is like a block splitter. I think the block spitter it be. Oh yeah so it's like sort of the the handle is like normal hammer sized maybe a bit bigger but it's got this like veryitter it'd be. Oh yeah. Yeah, so it's like sort of the the handle is like normal hammer-sized maybe a bit bigger but it's got this like very heavy solid head on it. So it's like it's really good for stuff like you know

hammering a star picket in. Now that kind of thing. I am, those are excellent choices. I am I've got a little like sentimental value attached to mine so So when I was sort of dating my wife now, Caitlin, we would go camping with the in-laws. And one of the things I love to do there is trop wood with an axe because it's something you don't really get to do. And it just feels great, right? It just feels good, like go and attempt, once you kind of get good enough at it to not look

embarrassing and like be dangerous with it bouncing all over place I just loved going to town with this and they was so entertained by this that on our wedding night they presented us with a wedding axe which I still have that's so lovely it is it rules and I want to take my wedding axe and fucking split this thing right down. And I want to take my wedding axe and fucking split this thing right down the middle. Just PVC, coiling, electronics, the knobs just popping out and like landing in two properties down. Just gulf. Fuck that it feels so good. Destroy this thing maritaly. Yeah, I've split this thing in twain.

Unfortunately, I'm just looking at the prices of these now. A single coil option is 320 bucks. They go all the way up to quadruple coil on special order for 520 USDs. I don't think I'm going to get to chop one of these in my life, but a man can dream. Maybe a kind listener will donate one. Yeah, if you've got a total shield EMF protection and you feel like you're cured now, send it my way. Oh no, it's got Amazon reviews on the website. Yeah, it sure does. Oh, can I read one? Can I read one? Yeah. I know the one five five stars it really does work. Wow Verified Purchase I wanted to give it a few weeks before reviewing this device to see if I noticed any changes.

I am shocked and amazed by all the improvements that have occurred in my life from this little thing I had to share my experience in the hopes of helping others. This is probably not any kind of instance of horrendously gigantic confirmation bias or anything like that. Absolutely. First, we live with power lines running directly behind the bedroom side of our house where we sleep at night. Our neighbors to the north, south, and west of us are all right in the

fallout zone as well. All of these people fight and scream constantly at each other. The mom next door starts in on her kids' first thing in the morning. The guy across the street rages daily to his wife. Even the dogs around us are all anxious and bark constantly all day long. Have you met a dog? That's their whole fucking life. That's their raison d'etour. Dogs love it when everyone around them screaming. We have considered moving lately because things have gotten so bad. But once I'm yelling about how much they hate you.

Somebody shot that 5G person up. But once I plug this little device in my home, everything changed for all of us. No more fighting, no more screaming, no dogs barking, just peace and quiet. Wow! I'm going to have to change my cat's nickname from Mr. Nasty to something nice. He's become so happy and cuddly. You know when 5G ruins your cat's vibe?

Yeah. Constantly saying this. Even my hummingbirds have stopped fighting and obsessing over the feeders I have in my yard. It can't be a coincidence. The stray cat who I feed is always so timid and afraid of everything, but now she lays peacefully by her back door and isn't afraid of me. A blue jay started living in our yard and comes right up to me for Pinaus. This rules. The 5G total shield EMF protection machine has turned her into Dr. Doolittle.

All of these things happened after I plugged this thing in. It's Shangri-Laher-lahr here now with everyone living together in harmony. Personally I have become so calm and peaceful. My thoughts were anxious and racy for years. Like sexy? Yeah. This part took some getting used to. I keep waiting for the old nervous mind chatter to creep back in, but it's just going on now. You're waiting for those racy thoughts. Yeah. I almost cried when I realized how my poor body has been trying to survive all these years in such a hostile energy climate and was doing the best it could in energy hell. Oh my goodness. We have both a computer Wi-Fi as well as a direct TV cordless

Wi-Fi that runs through our entire home. The day we got the direct TV my husband and I both started waking up several times throughout the night. We both have felt anxious and on edge for some time now so we take lots of vacations to go away and relax. Like can you just not do without the direct TV? Yeah, I wake up multiple times a night so that I can have 80 channels of shitty cable or whatever. Now it's sleeping problems are completely gone and we are at peace. I sleep suddenly through the night. It's so distressing. I feel like this should start coming some kind of medical warning, like they plug this in and suddenly they can't hear their entire neighborhood.

Like, this has deafened to me. Oh man. Oh sorry, one more, can I hear with one more line for you? Please. I read another reviewer talking about that shoulder drop effect and yes That's what has happened here as well. It just gets better every day I can feel how I've been letting go of layers of stress that my body has been holding on to for so long At 50 years old. I'm beginning to feel like a kid again. I'm strangely now remembering and dreaming about happy childhood memories when life was free

from electro-smog and I had energy. That's Obama. Yeah, the problem is that all of these people have mental problems and that's okay because I do too. That's why I take drugs. Like I mean honestly I'm a little bit jealous that someone spent 300 bucks and feels this good. Yeah. Totally. Like it would be, it would rule to have one thing that you could just completely convince yourself is the problem behind and solution to like all of the things in your life. Like problem, EMF,F solution anti-EMF and I'm done My fucking mental anguish just goes away

I want to I want to finish this off with one more of you here if you'll indulge me of course Because I've got a I've got a perfect theory about what's happened in this one. I'm pretty down confident that EMF is hurting all of us especially our children any effort taken to remove RF or ELF frequencies? the frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency frequency the the the their f f f f f f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f their f or their f their f 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 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 thu thu thu the the their the the the the the the the the the the the the the thanks the thu- thu- thu-'m pretty darn confident that EMF is hurting all of us, especially our children. Any effort taken to remove RF or ELF frequencies from their lives and our lives is truly going to help them develop completely. The total EMF shield may not block or stop the frequencies, but it claims to neutralize them, which is why other reviewers keep saying this doesn't work because ir meters still show the same EMF. Well, if the meters still show the same EMF, then that it's because it's done fucking nothing. If it was neutralized, which is not,

it's not a terrible idea, by the way, if you had an antenna that was 4,700 kilometers long. You could actually, you could actually do this, right? Like, can you can cancel out frequencies with frequencies right? But it's because the their meters show that they have the same level of VMF because it's doing doing nothing. Anyway I give this five stars because my own experience. I've had this baby up and running in the middle of my house for over a month now and have had a great experience with us. My headaches are gone. I work from home in front of a huge computer with three monitors blasting me all day. Yeah, so does everyone. Grow up. But the best thing, my three and a half-year-old

daughter doesn't throw as many tantrums a day. What was once one to three tantrums a day is now one tauu every two weeks, and typically tied to peeling her away from the one show a day we let her watch. That alone sells me on this product. I am convinced that EMF sensitive children are affected the most by the constant Wi-Fi cell phones and tablet RF slash ELF all around. So they can't make their mind up because RF is extremely low frequency. Which one do you hate? Is there a good one? They don't all frequencies? frequency, ELF is extremely low frequency, which one do you hate? Is there a good one? They mean all frequencies. It's a bummer to me to think about, like, yeah, I cannot help

but think that in a lot of instances with things like, like I know that power lines can actually cause some issues to people sometimes, but I think in a lot of instances it's like, um, um, um, um, like, um, um, like, um, they, the the the they, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, their, their, they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they're they're they're they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the power lines can actually cause some issues to people sometimes, but I think in a lot of instances it's like wind turbines and all these things where like there just isn't any kind of concrete evidence for anything that's happening to anybody. There's zero. And the thing is like you can, with an electric field, you know, you can, sorry, series gone off. So it's either above or below point that's that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, th, th, th, th, th, you can, sorry, series have gone off. So it's either above or below a point that's ionizing, right, and that point is in the ultraviolet. And that's the fucking, that's the thing you should be aware of is sunlight, right?

Like it's an electric field that is many thousands or millions or billions times higher than the fields coming out of power lines, et cetera. Power the electric, th power lines, an electric, an electric, an electric electric electric electric electric electric electric electric electric electric electric electric, an electric electric electric electric, an electric electric electric, an electric, an electric, and electric, and electric, and 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. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi, thi, with thi, with with thi, with with thi, with thi, with thi, with thi, with thi, with thi, with thi, thi, thi. So, thi, thi. So, thi, thi. So, thi. So, thi, thi, lines, etc. Power lines, you know, an electric field from a power line can set up electrical currents in your body. The human limit of perception is something like 2 or 5 kilovolts per meter, at which point, if it's a constant source of that, you're completely fucked because that's you being exploded by a power line, right? Like, that's the, that's the threshold of us experiencing EMF at those frequencies. And, you know, obviously they haven't explained why 7.83 hertz though is okay being even lower frequency. All right, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna stop with that. I'll finish this. We've seen a major improvement after bringing this into our home. In fact, the whole house feels different. Lighter, brighter, it's weird how something you can't see

affects us to such a great degree. Hmm, think about that sentence is a little harder. Only happiness and smiles from our household now. And there's my favorite part of this one, it's ominous way to end it. I bet our neighbors are experiencing the benefits too. But my theory about this review is they've convinced themselves that they're fine now and they've stopped being a cunt to their three and a half year old child. Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say was that it's depressing to think about how many instances here would be somebody who that's that's that's that's that's thue thue thue thue thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus th. this thus thus, and the, and the. the. the. the. the. th. 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. And the. And the. And the. And thean. thean thean thean thean thean thean too. theooooo' thea. And the. the. the. And to think about how many instances here would be somebody who has like convinced themselves that these power lines or wind turbines or or Wi-Fi signals or whatever are massively agitating them and that in

turn they they inflict that on the people around them and then they tell them their theems this thing is working they stop being horrible to the people around them what they stop being really stressed out out out out out out out out out out out out the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. thi. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. thi thi thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to thi thi to thi thi thi thi thi to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi then they tell themselves this thing is working, they stop being horrible to the people around them, what they stop being really stressed out as a result and then they say, wow it works, everyone feels great and we're all having a good time. Yeah, it was the it was the EMF that was doing it. Huge bumme. Maybe it's worth, maybe it's all kinds of things that you would want to smash with various tools and there's all kinds of various tools that Liz sells. So, Liz, do you want to tell us a little about among the trees? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's a little timber shop in Merrickville and Sydney.

If you're in the neighborhood, come and say hi. Yeah, I mean, a few colleagues have set it up in the past couple of months, and we sell reclaimed and recycled timber. So it's all stuff that's kind of come out of old buildings, demolitions, that kind of thing and just try to yeah give wood a new a new life and yeah sell a few bits and pieces around that. Oils and you know hinges, nails and that kind of stuff so you can kind of come in and do a little DIY project. But it's just it's bloody lovely. It's so nice. It's the, we really get no kind of come in and do a little DIY project. But it's just it's bloody lovely. It's so nice.

It's we really get no kind of EMF interaction at all from the wood. So I can advise. Is your wood EMF compatible though? I'm kind of big on EMF. I'm sort of going big or going home on on an EMF guy. If you apply enough current to the wood something will happen. You you can, um, um, so have you can, um, so, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, we the, we the, we really, we really, we really, we really, we really, we really, we really, we really, we really, we the, we really, we the, we the, we the, we really, we really, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we the, we're, we're, we're, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. We're really, th. We're really, th. We're really, th. We're really, th. We're really, th the wood, something will happen. You can, um, so have you seen the ones with the, the, when they drive the nail into the wood and they, like electrify it? Yeah, and they, they apply an enormous voltage to it. It like makes a burn pattern. Yeah, through all the capillaries, that are slightly moistered than than than than than than th than th than th than the wood th. Yeah the wood the wood the wood the wood the wood they they they'll they'll their they'll their th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their. Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, th. Yeah, the. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, through all the capillaries that are slightly moister than the than the wood they'll all set on fire and make this wonderful pattern. So EMF is really... Very compatible with... Extremely compatible with wood and it's doing good for us every day.

We're a pro EMF podcast. I am in the pocket of big EMF. I will actually say that I hadn't thought about it before, but our shop is around the corner from a substation. So get yourself, you know, well guarded, well EMF protected before you come in. Coming in in one of the one of the government agent's suits in ET, you know, head to toe, all covered up. Well yeah, check it out everybody. It's at among the trees.com. that's the more information about the store. You can find the location, you can find out about workshops and all that kind of stuff. And you, you come in and have a yarn. Yeah, you there at home could meet Liz.

You could go in and say, pass me that ballpane hammer, you know, if there's one in there. I cannot guarantee you that there's a ball-pean hammer in the shop. There absolutely is. I was playing the ball-pean hammer the other day. You're safe. Excellent. We have a range of hammers, so come in and come in and hold one. Carresa hammer. What do you use the, uh, what do you use the ball side for? It's like for shaping metal, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the the the ball the ball the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the yeah, you can use it to like, you know, if you get one of those tools, it has like a little wooden handle with like the hand, hand rivets in it, like little brass rivets, you can use that to kind of tap

the top of those rivets into shape. It's very satisfying, a little dimpled rivet. Well, I can definitely say for a little bit of woodworking, a little woodworking project, it's very good for you. It soothes the soul. You get to use your hands, you get to be at one with nature, and particularly if you're working with some reclaimed wood, that also feels really good to preserve something that's come from somewhere special. It's usually, I think a lot of the time, like reclaimed timber and stuff like that is better quality timber than th th th th th th th than th than th than th than th than th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's tho tho tho tho-soo-s. It's tho-itoosuui-s. It's so sooosui-s. It's their so their so their so their so their so their so their sooes sooes sooes sooes sooes sooes sooes sooes. It's I think a lot of the time like reclaimed timber and stuff like that

is better quality timber than you're going to be paying money for it at like bunnings or whatever anyway. Yeah, they just came through you know in the past hundred years and just cut down all the good trees. Yep. And then they're still sitting there in houses and so rather than you know chuck them in the landfill, free use them. them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I's th. I's th. I's th. Yeah. Yeah. I's th. I's th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I's th. Yeah. I's. Yeah. I's. I's. I's. I. I's. I's. I's. th. I's.

I ground, shack him in landfill, three use them. It's good wood. Yeah, I've got I've still got like these slabs of machined timber from like Federation era furniture that's that I got from a friends auntie years and years ago so it was it was an old desk she sold it to me for not much money at all on the promise that I would not turn around and immediately like fence it to a furniture store. And so I kept it for how many years but it was like a big sort of awkward shape and then we then we had kids and everything and the kitchen, sorry like the dining room in our house was this sort of weird shape so we took the two big panels of timber off the top

of that and turn them into a like a bench top for one side of the room and since then my brother-in-law and his partner have bought that house that we used to live in and they've kept those panels a timber for me. So two great big panels of like sort of 100-year-olds. Ah, beautiful. Whatever it is, I'm not sure what kind of wood it is. But yes, there's something very nice about sort of continuing to get as much use out of quality pieces of wood as you can.

You know absolutely, that's the good stuff. That's it. That's beautiful. So check out among the trees.com. You can follow Liz on Twitter at? At Liz. Chong. No hyphens, no punctuation, just OG. Yep. So check out. So a OG. Yep. So check it up. Yeah. Thank you very much for joining us. And we'll see everybody next time. Bye-bye.

Bye. you
