Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome, Buntavista, episode 249. I am here at a session of the Council of Intelligent Races of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. With me is one of the small furry goblin-like aliens, who is here to argue that we should invite humans onto the council and stop shoving things up their assholes. It's Theo. Hey, Theo. How are we going?
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah, good. Good, good. Pretty cool to be here at the 470 millionth, 929,143,000 divine right of king's meetings. What is this? This is the Council of Intelligent Races of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. We really got to snip that up. Is that on the agenda? I think we can shorten that to, what are we going here, C-I-R-O-A-M-G,
Starting point is 00:01:20 Crumb. Yeah, no fucking talking,talking haven't been introduced yet. Crumb. Yeah, no, I mean, I've been saying at the last 900 meetings or so, you know, humans, not so bad. Yeah. They don't, they don't realize that when they walk around smelling of cum, we can like smell them really bad through our little smell scopes. So you kind of like you know that one's normal that one's cummy normal cummy normal cummy I don't even see the the letters and numbers anymore you just see cum on the smell is coming you know they they wake up they have they have sex and they go you know what I'll just show later on the afternoon because I've got a little stuff to do I don't know I don't I that I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't the th th th th th th the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th I don't th th th th th th th the the the th th th th th th th th th the 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 no the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they they they they the they the the they go, you know what, I'll just shower later
Starting point is 00:02:06 on the afternoon. I'll show that. I don't even smell that bad. Yeah. And they've, but they've only got like tiny little noses, but they've got enormous noses and they know all of the type how long it's been since you last come. This is unsettling for me to consider, that's fair. Anyway, anyway we should stop putting things in their butt as well and they come
Starting point is 00:02:30 and have a, go on have a thing. We don't have to introduce those two measures at the same time. Yeah, I'd look at just it, it sort of as like a package. I think there's some interlinkages there and also probably third rule if they do arrive they've got to they've got a shower first. Yep yeah it will maybe breach that yeah before they come on to the council just be like hey by the way we yeah the cum is just like it's not to you guys it doesn't really like but to us it's like oh it's like it's like right there it's hard to describe because the little fairy goblin like aliens they have sort of a the the the the the the the the the the they they they they they they the they they they they they they the the they they they they they th th they th they they they th th th they they they they they they tho th tho tho tho tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th they're th th th they're 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 the. the. the. the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. they're they're's hard to describe because the little thoroughy goblin like aliens, they have sort of a cone and rod system for smell. So it's like if someone glowed purple because they smelled like cum.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah. Yeah. And it's sort of coming around you, if there's any just any like ambiguity or anything, it's coming from your genital area. Yeah. Yeah. So down here. And if you went to say, Garden City, and every third person was glowing purple, you know, you'd be like, guys, maybe get on top of this. Also with me, is one of the weird gray aliens with big heads, who is here to argue that we
Starting point is 00:03:38 should invite humans onto the council, but that we should keep shoving stuff up their assholes. It's Lucy. Hi, I'm looking Svelt if I do th. but that we should keep shoving stuff up their assholes. It's Lucy. Hey Lucy. Hi. I'm looking Svelt if I do they say. Your body is. Man skinny legend. You don't have no body fat on there.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But I'm also going to go as far as to say is no musculature whatsoever. None at all. Any bains in there? No, just sinewy, in here. That's interesting. Quite soft. Yeah. You look like if someone hit you with like a baseball bat, you'd sort of bounce around the room a little bit. I would. It would not hurt me. Yeah. And you don't want humans on the council. Yeah. And you don't want humans on the council. No, I think they're disgusting and I'm not against having them on the council per se. I'm just pro the putting things in their butts. Yeah and you think that those two things might be at odds? They just feel like you like you can have both they shouldn't
Starting point is 00:04:36 be mutually exclusive. Yeah I think there might be a little bit of a conflict of interest here that we might need to address because the feeling I'm getting is that if the humans come on the council they might be able to vote to stop putting things in their butts eg right and maybe it's just clouding Lucy's I'm not sure that they would vote that way I guess it's but they could they could if they decided they wanted to stop being you know sorry the come expert you're here's a come expert expert this this this this this this this this this this this this this th th this th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the is the is the is the theeeeeean. they. theymea theymea theymea'n' theymea'n' is the the the the what's your expertise? You're here's the cum expert, you're here's a cum expert, I feel like maybe this is not your wit house. Maybe you should stick to what you know? Which is the cum smell? Sometimes come and butts overlapping concerns. Similar. Similar. Like if you
Starting point is 00:05:22 imagine a Venn diagram it sort of looks like an asshole. Yeah. And the overlap where the thing goes in the butt. Yeah. So it's calm. Ass, and then the middle is come ass. Come ass. Also with me, is one of the aliens that just looks like a tall Norwegian man, who is here to argue that we should invite humans on the council and we should keep shoving stuff up there ourselves. It's Andrew. Hey Andrew. Hello. See this is the position I've been trying to argue for the whole time and here's why. Number one, it's not just because I look like a guy, a regular guy. You do. Like a lot like a regular guy. And that's that's not why it's not because I think I would get a whole the whole th a whole th a whole th a whole th get a whole th get a whole th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to get a whole to get a whole to to-a thu thu. I would to to to to to to to to to to to thoing. thoing. thoing. thoing. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. thu. the. thu. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. th guy. And that's that's not why it's not because I think I would get a whole ton of human anus if you just threw me into the mix with them. That's not just it. I want to open your collective eyes
Starting point is 00:06:13 to all the other interesting things we could be putting places if it wasn't such a strict program for a start. And if we kind of got them involved, you know, in some of the brainstorming, like the imaginering of where we could be putting what and with who, you know? I think maybe they've got ideas we haven't really thought of. Yeah. I mean, we've had how many 400 million of these councils so far? Yep. People have been putting things everywhere. I've got to tell you. I've been around here for a while and we've tried, buddy, you got a thing, you got a spot, we've tried put it in there. You got a hole? You got a hole? We've filled that hole. Yeah, but here's the thing. I know it's been a while since you've been down there and that you've been alive for a very, very time. They have this thing now called the internet. Sure. And it's really
Starting point is 00:07:08 changed their ideas of what should be going into which hole. Yeah and and and and also things are really cummy down there. Hmm. It's way cummy than ever. Purple aura around the whole planet visible from space. It's actually how we find other planets with life on it. It's trace elements in the atmosphere that could have only been produced by human come. But you were saying that we got to give, we got to go retread old ground, replug old holes. Yeah, very much. To see if we missed anything. I'm telling you, they're plugging their own holes now. Like going back to like a level one area in Eldon Ring and just like just completely smashing those basic holes.
Starting point is 00:08:03 That's right. Previously you never even dreamed that you would be able to do one of the years now? Oh my god, so easy. So easy. Blinking you miss it. I also don't want to be, I don't want to be the racist who's saying which races can and can't join the council, you know what I mean? Like, Theo's over here waving around his big sign with the races that aren't good enough. And I'm, ooh, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:08:33 It's not for me. I'm inclusive. I want to open, I want to open the council, want to open every hole. Want to be his one. Yep. That's what's up. I'm sorry, I had the intonation of the first half of a segue, so I was really going to see how you were threading that needle. But you didn't.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Needles over here, the thread is still. How about this? Yeah, let them all in, except for this one island. It's kind of, oh, every, like, you know, you look all over the world and there's like, it's beautiful people and then there's people that are even more beautiful than those people. There's extra special, extra beautiful people. I went to this island, they all kind of look the same, you know, kind of gray, not a felt gray, not smooth and shiny, you know. Not like that at all, A wrong kind of pallid fishman, Greg. I am of course talking about a disgusting island called Britain.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Ugh. Let's train our smelloscope on them and see what they've been up to. Violator is a treater, turn around it. This headed man destroys church. Demonoid phenomenon. Folks, it's tabloid phenomenon. We're checking on the UK, and it's horrible goings on. Uh, this is from the Daily Star with the very compelling headline. Quote, I'm a super soldier fighting in space war after being abducted by
Starting point is 00:10:07 15-foot alien Dracula. It's got it all. Alien Dracula is he using the term Dracula to mean vampire? That looks like saying a Dracula. And is he using the word alien to be Polish? I don't know I think I think there are some details later on in the story where I think we're going to have to really interrogate what he means by Dracula. It's an earth-shattering claim, but Russ Kellett says he's a quote, super soldier fighting in an intergalactic war. He reckons have abducted him multiple
Starting point is 00:10:46 times from his seaside home, risking him to battles all over the world and beyond. And Russ, 58, is convinced he underwent disturbing medical procedures at the hands of a race of 15-foot-tall invaders. Yeah now he's English. Oh, I keep going down to Tesco's. Oh no. Ah, here we go. I was going to ask, where's the evidence, you know? The author has produced drawings to support his claims.
Starting point is 00:11:20 No. Number one, I want to see these drawings. Okay, well, have a little look at the chat there for us. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. There we go. Russ, he's the, he's the exact example of why I don't want them on the council. That's all I'm saying. That guy looks fucked up.
Starting point is 00:11:39 He's a British man through him. Yeah, okay. So it's a white guy with a absolute bonts. Yeah. And he's holding up a, I reckon that's a charcoal sketch? I think he's using a, what's the softest lead on a pencil you can get? I think he's using maybe a 6 or an 8B. It's sort of like Lizard Man Cross Grey, right? Yeah. Yeah. With a little bit of Lutuja Libre wrestling mask thrown in.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah, the final one is just a gray. Yeah, that's a regular old grey to me. And I'll tell you what, when it comes to the last one here I'm not getting any Dracula vibes no Dracula vibes from this picture like at all I'm not sure this guy knows what Dracula is me well okay hold on let's see let's see what Russ has to say Russ even says he developed chronic fatigue syndrome and PTSD from his time spent fighting. What?
Starting point is 00:12:48 I don't think you got chronic fatigue from the alien wars. Conque fatigue? I, look, I think if you're going to, um, if you're going to have a delusion, nothing wrong with like adding a bit of color. Yeah. Uh, giving yourself something to do with it on a day-to-day basis. Ooh, my back! Yeah. I threw it out in the war of Zagon.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Yeah, I've got my knee is an absolute shambles because of the black salon conflict. But being like, oh, having a chronic fatigue flare up because of the wars that I fought. Yeah. On the shoulder of Orion. He said, quote, I've been abducted at least 60 times. The first time was when I was 16 when I was traveling home on my motorbike. I went through a tunnel that I'd never seen before and the next thing I knew, I was in what looked like a dentist surgery with 15-foot-tall alien men that look very
Starting point is 00:13:48 much like Dracula without the sharp teeth surrounding me. Okay. That's just a man. That's just a man. A man with an Italian's haircut from the 60s. All right, so we got a few details here. Without the sharp teeth says to me, Oh right, he gets what a Dracula is. Yes. But at the same time, the teeth is like...
Starting point is 00:14:15 At this point, yeah. It's a top three signifier of when you're meeting a vampire. They're saying that they've got capes. So yeah, he could be talking about someone who like looks a lot like Christopher Lee. See, I'm picturing Bella Ligose. I'm picturing Bella Ligose when you say a Dracula. All right. I've been watching a few Christopher Lee once recently.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Oh, they're really, so good. It really goes for it, you know? So he could look a lot like Christopher Lee. We could be talking the black, slick back hair, the very pale complexion. I don't know if he was able to witness like an aversion to sunlight, but even then we're kind of getting out of the visuals at this point. Maybe just a pale man. Just a pale guy, or a bunch of pale guy. At least 60 times. At least. That's a pale guy, a bunch of pale guy, at least 60 times. That's so many times.
Starting point is 00:15:07 A lot of wars. It's a lot of wars. Yeah, and a lot of... So does he go to wars or does he get in the dentist chair? Well, he explains what the dentist's chair was all about here, he says. I had some sort of tube pushed down me to me, and whatever liquid they pumped into me, it turned me into one of their super soldiers.
Starting point is 00:15:31 You know? He just, he's a, he's a, he's a very normal looking man. Like if you saw this man inside an Australian pub anywhere, you would be like, oh god damn, okay. That's just a guy. But he's wearing a denim Sleeveless denim jacket like battle jacket style. I'm gonna I'm just gonna dispute with this here to say I believe that to be a colorless denim shirt That he's cut the sleeves off But the color also appears to have been cut off which is quite strange and
Starting point is 00:16:07 he's wearing a long-sleeve rainbow tie-dye cotton shirt underneath. He doesn't strike me as a super soldier, you know? Yeah definitely not. He would not have tactical skills of any kind. I'm not getting super soldier vibes from him, that's fair. For the past 30 years I've been part of their army fighting the opposing race, the Dragoes, oh well maybe that's what's in the first picture. The Dragoes. Yeah. Oh, maybe those were like the dragon type. Oh, which are tall and scaly with edge like dragons. I thought he might be...
Starting point is 00:16:50 I think maybe we owe Russ an apology. Yeah, no, absolutely. Maybe. That is tip to toe that is a drago that he's drawn. Although when he started to say it, I was just wondering whether he was fighting Italians. He meant the opposing race. You know the ones. I've been gone for years and people don't realize there's four hours here is four years on
Starting point is 00:17:15 one of the planets I've been to. Look at this photo I've been thinking maybe, maybe this dude is 16. This is how he looks. There's an easy way to be to say four hours is four years. I would say that one hour is one the one th is th is the th is thi is thi is how he looks. There's an easy way to be to say four hours is four years. I would say that one hour is one year. I would just simplify that fraction personally. 127 hours is 127 years. It's honestly no wonder why I used to be so tired in my day job the amount of time I'd be gone for.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah. I think this man just has chronic fatigue. This is so good. He's just like, I'm real tired. I must have been abducted by aliens in the time space. You've got sleep apnea, Russ. Get on the pension, mate. Get on the pension, mate. You deserve it.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Stop fighting. Get on the disability, brother. Stop fighting those dry ghosts. They've never wronged you. Russ from Firely, North York's, added, You reckon that's firey? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And if it's wrong, if it's wrong, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. Added, are fought in battles across the UK, Europe and South America? And if it's wrong, who cares? If it's wrong, fuck them. Uh, added, I fought in battles across the UK, Europe and South America, and I've even fought in different battles for territory in space, sir. Each time I've been abducted, I've been transported to a room, covered in checks, kind of like a chessboard. Kind of like... Star Trek?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah, they've put him inside the holodeck. He's on the holodeck. In the center of it is a glass ball that can transport you through time as well as teleporting you anywhere in the known and unknown universe. Literally the holiday, you're in the holiday you've been watching Star Trek. Such a nice little flourish to be like anywhere in the known and unknown universe unknown to who yeah to us it seems like it seems like got to have some idea of where you're being sent to you know also what are these
Starting point is 00:19:16 battles he's doing in like South America what do aliens want with South America but they're also fighting the CIA. Russ, who shared a drawing of the chessboard... Come on. That's just a drawing of some squares. Now imagine this but big and all around you, you know. Russ, who shared a drawing of the chessboard, claims that there are several different races of aliens. Well, we should know here on the council.
Starting point is 00:19:51 And there has been a war between two different races for years. He said, there are so many different races, but I struggle to remember the names of them all. I'm certain that one of the races have wiped my memory of certain happenings and some of the times when I was abducted. Yeah, that's also my excuse when I can't remember what some of the races are. Well you've got a Draygos, you've got, oh bloody hell must have had me. I nicked me memories again. Oh I did know them there was heaps. There were apes. Wiped my memory of certain happenings. I like that.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Done the men in black wipe. Now, like you said, he did have a nice little rhetorical flourish before Ben. And I just want to say he's also very understated at times, because he continues. I've spoken with other abductees and they've said the same thing happened to them. It's quite worrying. It's quite worrying. Russ hopes that by sharing his story more people will understand what's going on, quote, under their noses, end quote. Can I read a couple of comments to you from the comments to this story?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Okay. There's one here from Stephen Harrison who says, I know he is telling the truth because I fought next to him. Really? Really? Oh, yes. Does he know the other races? Another comment here. So funny if Russ was really mad at that dude for stealing valor? No, he didn't. It was just me.
Starting point is 00:21:37 He didn't do shit. He's a medic. I never served alongside you. This one is so good. Sounds totally legit. Of course those highly advanced aliens would need to keep dragging dozy bollocks there into all their fights. Calm down. Get him. Roast him. His Facebook page says it all. Oh. What's this intriguing? He does it? Time to get to the truth, you know? Open Facebook. Yeah, if we could have some sort of hacker man music
Starting point is 00:22:10 playing over the top of this. That would be your job to put that in, I believe. Russ Kelle, UFO researcher, biker and abductee. Fuck yeah, dog. So do you think that's meant to be like a biker vest that he's wearing? Well, he's got another, he's got a Harley Davidson jacket with flames on it. That's pretty cool. Oh, his posts aren't public. This is fucking.

Starting point is 00:23:38 That's my promise to you. Hmm. Ah, yep. Aliens. Not part of nature. Nature. Nature. It's time for Nature Corner. Country Roa Take me home to the place.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I belong, who'll take his son, nation corner, rubber crab, snipped my dick. This is a story from the Southwest Times record. Meet the Arkansas baseball fan who wrangled a raccoon with his bare hands. I want to meet this man. Well, you are about to. Arkansas baseball has had plenty of experience with unexpected guests. There was LSU baseball's rally possum in 2016 versus the razorbacks. In last year's super regionals against NC State, a groundhog ran onto the infield.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It was punted 300 feet. On Friday night, another viral hero was born at Baumorker Stadium, Fayetteville native Grant Harmon. Harmon, 24, is enjoying a taste of viral fame after a raccoon ran through the stands in left fields during Arkansas Baseball series opener against Vanderbilt. He saw the critter racing through his section and in a moment of either bravery or insanity caught it with his bare hands. Quote, the opportunity just came about. I guess I just took action and grabbed it, I'm told the Southwest Times. That was a first.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I have no prior experience grabbing raccoons. He's been waiting for this moment for all his life. So opportunity is just... It's popped up. Yeah. I have no prior experience grabbing raccoons but when that opportunity presents itself, I am going in both boots. There's a list there for all of us. You'd hate to find out like that you were actually shit at catching raccoons, right? This is your moment. Oh yeah. And you try it and you faked up. Yeah. Everyone was cheering and they realized that you didn't even get a hand on it. They're like, oh, and they just turn around. And then you have to go back to his job. So this shit-factor downhill, develop a drinking problem. You're so a shame that you couldn't take the raccoon, your wife leaves.
Starting point is 00:26:09 She takes the kids. She takes the house. The house is just empty and dead silent, except for the sound of raccoons going through your bids, which is a painful reminder. Why don't you just fuck the raccoon, if you can't thue thua for that raccoon you couldn't catch. It's really the aspiring raccoon grabbers rejected wedding proposal. You know? Yeah, 100% going into a kiss or the kiss cam. This is the last thing I wanted to happen.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Racoon turns away. With fans cheering him on and taking pictures of the scruff of its neck and marched the intruder up the stairs of Section 117 and out of the stadium. He said he was met by University of Arkansas Police officers who told him to throw the raccoon in the parking lot. Just huck it over the fence. Just javelin that moth-in' that mothfuck as far as a kid. I don't thuuuuuuuu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu the the the the the thu-a' the the the the thu-a' 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 thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu tune tune tune tune tune tune tune tune tune.

But as he let the raccoon loose, it managed to reach around and bite him on the tum.
Starting point is 00:27:16 No good deed goes unpunished. A medical team helped clean up the bite and harman was ready to watch the end of a close game.

He now has to return for three more rounds. Damn man.

Damn man. Harmon wasn't the only one injured in the incident. His mother, Kelly, was standing on a chair behind hermid when he dabbed the raccoon,
Starting point is 00:27:52 try and avoid it as it's carried by. She fell over behind him, captured on videos now circling the internet. Don't worry, she's fine. Well, is she injured or is she fine? Quote. She's got a big old nut on her leg th leg th on tho's currently on a plane headed down to the beach, so I think she's in good spirits. She bumped her leg. Okay. Like I'm not wishing an injury on this lady. No. No. I'm saying. If the news is going to describe her to me as injured, it's not what I'm expecting.

I wang my shins on one part of my bed frame just about once a week, every week, and I just have a series of lumps there all the time. It's fucking worse. Gotta give her that bed frame body.

I'm saying mattress right on the floor. I've done it before, it's quite nice. By day, Harmon is a salesman for a sporting goods company. would be spent doing yard work or grilling outside. Instead, he's been filling messages and calls from podcasts, radio stations, newspapers, and more. Why? His girlfriend, unbeknownst to Harmon,
Starting point is 00:29:11 even started to go fund me. For what? Why? Why? The $10,000 those rabies shots cost. Get this man a raccoon. Quote, I don't seek to benefit from this in any sort of way, Harman said. Any of the profits that are raised were raised, we we we we we we we we we, we to, we to, we to, we to to to to to to to to to to to to to to donate to donate to donate to donate 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 be to be to be to be 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 be to be to be to be to be to to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the their their the the the the the the their their their their thea.a. thea. thean. the. th benefit from this in any sort of way, Harvin said. Any of the profits that are raised, we're just going to donate it to animal control or something of that sort. Something of that nature. Hey, look, don't get me wrong. If people donate to it and they just take the money, cool.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Like, because everybody involved has just decided that they don't have anything else that they could possibly do with that money, I think, at that point. Yeah. Harlan has gotten laughs out of fellow Razorbacks pride in his feet of strength, as well as from, quote, outsiders, cracking jokes, arcansons, arcansons. Hmm. Ah, eating Raccoons, eating raccoons for dinner. But before he gets his, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Arkansas Raccoon Catch at Baseball game at Go Fund Me.com Kennedy Higgins organizing this fundraiser. Yeah, on on May 13th at Bownm Walker Stadium. On May 13th at Bown-Worco Stadium, Arkansas Hero, Grant Harmon so bravely protected the great state of Arkansas from a rabid raccoon. They're having fun with it. Yes, I'm into it now. In a state of chaos and panic, Grant did not hesitate to scoop up the critter and safely escor him out of the stadium.
Starting point is 00:30:42 However, a minor injury occurred required a trip to the hospital. This money will go towards the brave heroes medical bills and the excess will be donated towards animal rescue. It's a great day to be a hog. Now two things... So true of today and every other day. And that has raised $665 of a $1,200 goal. Okay. So, America fucking sucks, man. Like, I guess they're just got to do whatever they do to keep, stay alive a little bit longer,
Starting point is 00:31:14 don't they? You'd really hope that, you know, like, you wouldn't, you know, in Australia, you could pick up any raccoon that you saw without worrying that you were going to have to spend a grand of the hospital, you know? And that's really beautiful. We also don't have rabies. Yeah. So that's also nice for us. Minor, minor, minor difference. Or, lime disease as ti.
Starting point is 00:31:35 tollis, as well Lime disease in Australia is fake. So, uh, is that his, is he still alive? Oh, he's still alive. But before he gets his next few rounds of rabies shots, there's more baseball to watch. Harmon planned to be at Saturday's game. Go ahead, mate. I don't think we would share that story if he was dead. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's th true. That's that's that's that's that's that that story if he was dead. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:32:06 A bit of a download. Oh no! That Andrew just posted a photo in the chat there. This is the header on the go-funn me. Oh. Okay, let's describe this, because this is obviously an audio format, the podcast. He's holding it by a scruff of its neck.

He's holding it by a scruff of its neck. He is holding his phone arm legs away from him to get a photo of the two of them. There is a man in the background
Starting point is 00:32:32 who is staring at sort of a slightly bemused delight at the goings-on and the record is looking... Wild-eyed though. That man has got his peepers all the way open. You know how I would describe that facial expression is John Lovett's in the wedding singer when he says he's losing my mind and I'm reaping all the benefits. Yeah. Yeah. That raccoon is looking directly at the camera and doing, it's a living arms. It really does look like it's posing for the photo does it? Who do? I'm sure that it's not having a good time but in this in this one little slice of time really looks like he's hamming it up you know
Starting point is 00:33:18 yeah it does make me feel a lot like even more less sorry for the guy for getting bitten like if you got the time to hang out with it and take a photo and stuff. Yeah, he wasn't just like taking it straight out to the parking lot he was playing around a little bit. Yeah, he got to do a show with the raccoon. And then he found out. Yeah. Racco needs his pound of flesh baby. Yeah. Is that what that means? 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 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 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.

Anyway, stupid thing for a raccoons are doing the first place, getting all up in a baseball
Starting point is 00:33:53 stadium. Probably doesn't even know how the scoring works. Speaking of another stupid animal that may be getting even stupider. Ben, what is this next Nature Corner item? This is a press release from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Scientists see signs of traumatic brain injury in head-butting muskos. I think... I feel like I might have an idea about where he got it. Sorry? Could be anything. Uh, scientists at the I Khan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai saw for the first time hallmarks of concussions and other head trauma in the brains of deceased headbutting animals, Muscoxin
Starting point is 00:34:33 and Big Horned Sheep. The results published in the journal Actor Neuropathologica may contradict the commonly held belief that ramming animals do not suffer brain injuries and support the notion that studies on animals with brains evolutionarily similar to those of humans may help researchers understand and reduce traumatic brain injuries. Where did we get the idea that that was not the case? I just think they'd be like... I wouldn't have thought that it wasn't the case. Well they do it so much that surely they're not getting a brain injury from they. It. It. It. It make. It make. I. I. I. their their their their their their their their their their their th. I. I. I. I th. I th. I'll the. I'll the. I'll, surely. I'll, surely. I'll, surely, surely. Surely. Surely. they'll surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely. Surely. Surely. Surely. Surely. Surely. Surely. Surely. Surely, surely. Surely. Surely, surely. they're not they're not they're not getting a brain injury from this. It makes sense if they... Do it long enough and they get the Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours of headlighting. Eventually you're going to get good.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yeah, they're not getting dumber, they're becoming serene. Oh, we don't think boxes actually feel any pain whatsoever. Plus their ears are meant to look like that. I gotta say they're very cool looking animals. Oh my god, they're so dope. They look pretty sick, yeah. Yeah. We got some real banther-looking animals cruising around, you know? I like that the bones on their heads make it look like they just have like the worst
Starting point is 00:35:40 horse girl-girl in the world. So good. They could a horse girl head cut. Quote, death and disability caused by traumatic brain injury is a widespread problem that needs better solutions, said Nicole Ackerman's PhD postdoctoral fellow at the Icar Mount Sinai. Oh, you mean for people, not for the head-cutting. Quote, we showed that animals which regularly engage in headbutting may actually suffer the kind of traumatic brain injury seen in humans. This opened the possibility that by studying these animals we could learn a lot about
Starting point is 00:36:14 traumatic brain injury. Dr. Ackman's and her colleagues studied the brains of three deceased Musk, Musk Oxen from Greenland and four Big Horn sheep, which were obtained from parks in Colorado in Utah and the Buffalo Zoo in New York Part of the reason for obtaining brains from these horned animals is that they're known to engage in violent head-to-head collisions usually in mating and social hierarchy rituals. For instance, male musk oxen often reach speeds of up to 30 miles an hour before impact. Jesus. Wow. It's like 45, 50 kays an hour. Just extraordinary. Just slamming their hands together. Back legs gone right up in the air.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Although a few studies have observed symptoms of traumatic brain injury, such as acting dazed, none of directly tested whether the brains of muscoxin and other ramming animals show any damage. Several animals were spotted saying, a doy and doohoo. The other reason is that bovids, such as cows, sheep, buffalo, gazelles in the the study have gyrencephalic or folded brains, which are also seen in humans. Oh, that's nice. Yeah they don't have smooth brains to start with. To look for sides of TBI damage the research has cut the brains into thin slices and fried them lightly before tacking them
Starting point is 00:37:34 in a Dutch up. Cut the brains into thin slices and treated the slices with antibodies made to detect phosphorilated tow proteins found in humans or mice. This form of tow proteins found in humans or mice. This form of tow is a hallmark of damage that is often seen in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients or in people who have suffered TBIs, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE. When they looked at the brains under a microscope, they saw that one of the antibodies stained musk oxen brains at easily detectable levels, whereas the big horn sheep brains had lightly detectable levels of staining by a different antibody.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Further analysis supported the idea. For example, the prefrontal cortex of the musk oxen brains had high levels of towel protein tangles, especially near the surface of the cortex. Quote, this pattern is sometimes seen in the brains, their pattern of people who suffer from CTE, Dr. Ackman said. Our results hope in the possibility that these animals' brains undergo chronic repetitive damage has seen in some TBI patients. Which is just funny as fucked me. It's such a dude's rock image. This animal has straight up evolved. Making it sounds stup stup. To have brain damage! All of them are just walking around like, ugh. And giving themselves more brain damage, so they're bimpifying themselves. I mean, it's just been assuming this whole time like, well, there's no way that can be the case because that would be insane if they all came from themselves concussions. Evolutionarily, that'd be a huge race of hymboes. There's no way, but new research indicates fucking. And up until
Starting point is 00:39:06 now scientists have thought, no they love it. They just like doing it. Yeah, if it wasn't good for them, why would they do it? What they also say about college football athletes? It's good for them and that's why we don't pay them. This this article's been good for me because I always thought that CTE stood for like crash team injury. Now don't try follow that one through. Okay. From start to finish. Are we, the wheels are turning. I mean, I was thinking about old people who get CT and their brains really do go to fucking mush, don't they? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Um... Shake all those folds out. Well, because like, with professional fighting,, like for a long time and different disciplines will train this sort of stuff more, but like for ages people doing MMA and and stuff like that would do hard sparring and like just try to knock each other out while training together. So like not even when you're having the professional fight and getting knocked out, but like just getting knocked out in the gym as part of training together. So like not even when you're having the professional fight and getting knocked out, but like just getting knocked out in the gym as part of training.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Exhibition knockouts. Yeah, yeah. Just a friendly. Doing a friend. Anyway. Oh, what a bunch of ridiculous and stupid animals. Am I talking about musk oxen? Or...
Starting point is 00:40:46 Or... Oh no! Oh no! Are we checking in with the people of the Netherlands? Tell me, buddy, I'm from Holland. Isn't that beer? The answer is I was talking about musk oxen. Yeah, good, because they wouldn't... I wouldn't say that about these guys yeah you know yeah we have several
Starting point is 00:41:07 listeners from the Netherlands and calling them dumb animals would probably say yeah you dumb piece of shit fuck you that would be a horrible thing to say to them human beings animals you know we're all animals not this comes to us from Dutch news dot nl the one and only really except for the substitute let's give it up the up up up up up the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th you the th you th you th you the the th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thus. thus. thus. thus. th. th. th. th. the the the the their their their their their their 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 th. th. the. the. the. their their te. te. te. te. te. the one and only. Really. Except for the Dutch News. Truly. Let's give it up for Dutch News. Dotter's site that we get our dotions from. Hey, guy, nice ass. Utrecht gives street harassment a female twist. I already hate this.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I think you're going to hate it and Theo's going to end up really liking it. Men walking around the center of Utrecht on Friday afternoon will be shouted and hissed at by a woman on a computer screen as part of a campaign to combat street harassment. Well, that's to Amsterdam. We were absolutely sick of sexism in this city. Here is a video of a screeching harpie that will yell at you, naggingly as he walked out. The council hopes the campaign, which will take place around the Stradhusbrug from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. will highlight how unpleasant being hissed or shouted at can be. Are the dudes doing a lot of
Starting point is 00:42:30 hissing over there? Apparently yes. Yes. Yes. That seems kind of catty to me. That's not I don't know and it's it's not particularly complimentary not like a good wolf whistle is you know I am I right, ladies? Ladies love them. The computer comments will begin in a friendly tone, but become nastier and more threatening. So will they? This whole campaign is so funny to me because you know that how many guys there are out there who'll be like yeah and I've got a little dick don't I I'm a nasty
Starting point is 00:43:11 little freak I'm a filthy little worm you're right I'm a pathetic little boy you know they're gonna have to be like shooing dudes away with a broom get out of here come on It's gonna be a certain kind of guy filling that straight. Yep. Yeah, staring for hours, very blank look on his face. Just absorbing it like their fucking Embassy Town. Ben Dever, you've ever read Embassy Town? You gotta get on that. Yeah, that book that I lent to you to read? Oh, twist! Damn, I'm getting my friends that like China Meevil mixed up. Yeah, I've read all of his books except the young adult novel, Railsea. I haven't gotten around to that one yet.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Well, anyway, the Dutch people are sitting around like the aliens in Embassy Town listening to the intoxicating voice coming from the speaker. Eventually this will lead them to be to be to be to to to to to to their to their their to their their their their their to their to their their. I their. I their. I their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm th. I'm their their thiaqioliol-aq-aq-aq-aq-meaq-meaq-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-mea-me, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their their, thi. thi. thia-nia-mea'-maiia'-maiia'amamamam-maivvvueevia-mixevalevalevalevalevoea-mixea-mixing, th. thicating voice coming from the speaker. Eventually this will lead them to become horribly addicted to the voice, record the voice, play snippets of it back to themselves, divide themselves into two warring factions of Dutchmen. Yeah, and then something else, but I don't want to give away the twist of the novel for those that I haven't read at Embassy Town, because what a twist, hey? What a beautiful twist, incredible novel. Check out Embassy Town. Don't go to the Netherlands actually.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Maybe we should. Maybe we should. Yeah, when we do our first tour. We do Hobart. Yeah, Braugh, Bray. 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,, Cambrough, Brisbane, Utrecht. Nice. The street harassment town. I've got to see this sign. Finally performing first time on reclaimed land. Quote, we hope this campaign will make men feel how uncomfortable and sometimes even threatening street harassment is," said Mayor Sharon Dykesma.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Not all men intimidate women, but they're really pathetic ones don't. Oh, you're too good to intimidate women, you know. Not all men intimidate women, but they are an important link in the fight against street harassment. The men on the receiving end of the cat calls will be quote taken care of by council workers. Oh, that's what? They really sucked. I need to be a bunch of Dutch council workers. Yeah, any any perverts who've been hanging around too long will be finished off by council. I'm thinking like, the manager sitting and like, so that's what it's like. Oh, I never thought of it in that way.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I just thought it was funny and made them feel good. The thing that kind of comes to mind here for me of like equivalent things is the the the traffic safety ads that they had here where Somebody a guy would like drive past really fast in his car and then two women would turn to each other and put the little pinky up and go. Yeah, yeah, I do that every time the guy drives Got us. Yeah, I mean, I'm I am doing that every time the Lexus with the big cannon exhaust drives out 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 traffic traffic traffic traffic traffic traffic traffic traffic safety the traffic safety the the traffic safety the the the the the the traffic. the the the traffic.

I mean, yeah, I am doing that every time the Lexus with the big cannon exhaust drives down my street way too loud and gives me a little fright. Ah! Then I'll hold my little pinky up. You should have to slash their tires. I should.
Starting point is 00:46:36 You should have some cow trops on you. I've got a gate out front so probably have to do it in the dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark the dark the dark the dark the dark to jump to jump the dark to jump to jump to jump to jump that first. I probably have to do it in the dark of night. Oh actually there's a laneway that goes up the back of their house. Hmm. Now we're talking. Yeah sneaking through there. Can I advocate for like keeping it classy and maybe going a little retro banana in the tailpipe. What does that do? I don't know I think I'd need a potato for this. Is that kill it? Is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. I they.

What does that do? I don't know, I think I'd need a potato for this. Does that kill him? Does it kill him? No, it makes it go faster. Keeps all that exhausting.
Starting point is 00:47:12 You know what happens to his wife in the godfather part one? Oh, that's right. None of you have seen the rest of these animals that haven't seen good movies. Pretty defensive. Pretty defensive. Name the Godfather. It's Flago. Yep.
Starting point is 00:47:33 That's correct. And then there's Flago the second. Flago Vespucci. The men on the receiving end of the cat calls will be quote taken care of by council workers who will explain what the aim of the campaign is and ask how they felt about being singled out. Did you like it? Did you like that?
Starting point is 00:47:54 How much? Oh, you like it too much? Oh, I bet you liked it. I bet you liked it. Disgusting. That's shameful. Give me $20 from your wallet right now, your penis, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, to you, to you, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, toe.00, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to, to me, to me, to, to, the the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, thi.e, thi.e, thea, thea, theateatea.ea.ea, thea.ea.ea, thea, thea small and flaccid. I think yeah most of the feedback is going to be and if next time you could have a say this. Oh! Council research dating from 2019 found that almost half the city's female population had experienced being shouted at or hassled while out walking. Let's do a funny riff on that sentence.
Starting point is 00:48:25 That's fun. Oh, that sucks. That sucks really fucking bad. Yeah. I guess. Oh, there's a, you're telling me there's an unfunny side to cat cold. The catcull story. There's a, you're telling me there's an unfunny side to cat-call. Can we can't have a quick quick whip around? Does anyone feel like the video campaign of the lady hissing people is going to make a, is going to have much headway there? I have no idea. I don't think so. Like these things are so
Starting point is 00:49:06 stupid because it's like the guys that are doing that don't not know that it's bad. They don't not know that it's making women uncomfortable. That's the entire point. They're just shitty. Be like a yeah doing, doing awareness campaigns about like unsolicited dick picks, you know? Hey, it turns out some people don't want the pictures. And a guy who's like, no way. Mastubating while you're explaining it to him. I was like, oh, isn't it right? Interesting.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Wow. Wow. Earlier efforts to curb street intimidation in Rotterdam and Amsterdam hissing ban was scuppered by a court in the Hague which said it contravened the right to freedom of speech. Huh. The right to hiss. The Netherlands. What a place.
Starting point is 00:49:54 What a place. What a place. Don't step on me, you know? Or do. At the moment, people who verbally harass others are only given a warning. What, like a cop, just goes, hey, please don't. Cut it out. Please don't.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Stop. I think they should be shot on site. Now we're talking. Yeah, we're talking. Hmm. Thanks, Theo. You happy with yourself, Theo. You're happy with yourself, Theo? Theo, in his question, focus on the thing that we're doing has been screenshoting bits
Starting point is 00:50:32 of Google Maps from the Netherlands, including us and Borger. Borga's better than us. Borg is great. Depends on the day to you ask me. Scoo Nude. Come on. Come on. Audio medium, this podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:55 We have fun. Sweet. Oh. A strange man. You don't always know why he does the things that he does. Am I talking about our very own theo or am I talking about the fictional character, Mr. Beam? Let's find out in this week's scam watch.
Starting point is 00:51:14 this is from the website, the gamer. You on that one much, Ben? Not frequently, but I was on there today. I hate to pull the curtain back, but I desperately tried to find this being covered on a different website so I could use one that was less embarrassing and this was the only one. Oh man.

Starting point is 00:51:53 Great. That's not very Mr. Bean of you. Great sentence. Mr. Bean NFT discord. That does not. That doesn't match with the Mr. Bean values that everyone promised to abide by. That's really off Mr. Bean brand having an NFD. Well, actually, it turns out that it's, it's official.
Starting point is 00:52:16 It is approved by Rowan Atkinson himself. Yeah, although Rowan Atkinson is in the John Cleese zone. Yeah. Yeah. Just, yeah. What did, they both died 20 years ago? Oh, 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?

Starting point is 00:52:32 RIP. You couldn't say that nowadays, I say about the thing I'm currently saying. Quote, it's recently come to our attention that spammers are auto-deeming people people as soon as they join the server. Chief Visionary Officer Xenox.E.H. You can't have a... The only way that you're going to have a Mr. Bean discord is just everyone fucking like talking in three word sentences and they're only voice memos. Voice memos. Voice mem always. Voice memos only.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Voice memos. Lots of people go, Mmm, mm-mm, woo-woo. Maybe we could make this. Like, I bet you could restrict it so you could only post the voice memo. You have a team of mods checking for bean tissu of every voice memo. I'm going to make it happen. I'm going to make it happen when this episode goes life.
Starting point is 00:53:33 I'm going to create the Bean Discord. Bein joined the Bintivista Patreon to maybe join the Bean Zone. Seven dollars a month for nothing but bean voice memos. maybe join the Bean Zone. Oh my goodness. Seven dollars a month for nothing but Bean voice memos. Ooh. The chief visionary officer continued, please do not interact with anyone posing as a FOMO lab team member or official bot. We are not giving away any presales or quote, free NFTs.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I mean, why would you give away an NFT free when there's so much value there? It's just so much value to be had. I thought he was gonna say, please do not interact for the new one posing as Mr. Bean. That's not the real Mr. Bean. This is not the official Mr. Bean. He's just not in here.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Yeah. Mr. Bain. Who is real? He's just not in here. Yep. The Mr. Bean NFT line, f-fucking hell, approved by Rowan I consider himself is being run by FOMO Lab. To bring their community together, community of like-minded bean lovers. They created a discord and already it's running into scam problems as members are being picked out by bots with fishing links aiming to steal money and NFDs. These are scams that are distinct from the scam that is a Mr. Bean NFT line. Yes this is a meta-scam this is a scam of adjacent to this. It's like a scam shanty town forming around a gold mine.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah. That's also a scam. It's like if the town megaton from the terrible game, Fallout 3, was built around a gigantic turd laid by a mentally... What is Mr Bean? Let's get into this. I actually have been meaning to get on a friend of the show, Ben Jenkins, to cover this, because they've briefly spoken about it on their podcast. About how he falls from the sky and the open machine, of their theyme of the world. He might be an alien and I really wanted to spend a good 60 minutes delving into the likelihood, that he is not of this world. He might be an alien. And I really wanted to spend a good 60 minutes delving into the likelihood of that, but that's a future episode for sure. And the Latin choir in the intro is singing, Behold the Man Who is a Bean.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Which is extremely funny. Why is this knowledge just gently floating at the top of the reservoir of your thoughts? I learned this recently. when th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi wo thi wo thi thi thi thi thi he he he th at the top of the reservoir of your thoughts. I learned this recently, we were watching Mr. Bean, and my poor small stepson was like, why is that guy so weird? I was like, how am I supposed to explain English people to my... I don't want to have to explain Mr. Bean to my kids. The school should do that when he turned 17. So, after my, um, so my, my grand- the Mr, my, my, my, my, the their their their their their their th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- thin, and my, and my, and my, and my poor, and my poor, and my poor, and my poor, and my poor, and my poor, and my, and my, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th-my, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, to-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s, tholole-s, to have to explain Mr. Bean to my kids. The school should do that when he turned 17. So after my, my granddad had a stroke in 1992 and he lost a lot of his like brain function and his ability to form new memories and that sort of thing. And so he was frozen
Starting point is 00:56:41 in time basically mentally where one of the few things that he really, really enjoyed doing was watching the two Mr. Bean VHS tapes that he had. Oh, sure. They're pretty good. They're pretty good! I watched a lot of Mr. Bean on VHS with my lovely grandfather. It was one of those things where, just because, I don't know, maybe the way you process information as a kid or whatever is not the same, but I had just assumed that there must be hundreds of Mr. Bean episodes instead of like 15. Yeah, I saw this online. There's only like, there's like 15 of them. There's like not many.
Starting point is 00:57:18 I had this experience recently with the,-python flying circus. Because I saw that it was on, like we're always trying to like find live-action movies that our kids can also watch. And Elna was like, I'm gonna put on multi-python in the Holy Grail. Oh God, yeah. Which is fine, but like there are, there are some things with kids where like, you think they'll enjoy them because you enjoyed them when them when them when them when when them when the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their tho tho thi thi there are there are some things with kids where like you think they'll enjoy them because you enjoyed them when you were a kid, right? And then you find yourself having to just explain concepts for the entire movie and that's not that's not very fun to do for a whole movie.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Elna's always like oh, I want to get him watch Sister Act they'll love it. I loved it I loved it when I was a kid. I'm like enjoy explaining. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I'm the the th. I'm th. I'm their their their their their. I their. I their. I'll their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I'm. I'm. I'm their. I'll. I'll. I'll their. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll te. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll their the their I loved it when I was a kid I'm like enjoy explaining what a nun is what's a nun why she's singing what's a what's a what's a nun what's a show girl what is organized crime what's drug crime what is what is like the FBI what is witness protection what is a nun so on and so forth yeah and it turns out they don't know what any of that stuff is, and they don't give a fuck. I've just posted the commonly asked questions when you Google Mr. Bean. People also ask, why is Mr. Bean in jail? Why is Mr. Bean's 16 plus? Well, those two sort of go hand in hand. When did Mr. Bean end? What
Starting point is 00:58:47 disability has Mr. Bean got? There we go. I believe Mr. Bean has, um, is one of those... is it aphasia when the words that come out of you are garbled or is it only aphasia when you can, the words that you hear are garbled? I think he has beans aphasia and it's named after him because he was the first case that they ever found. Hey Ben, if you do go and talk to Ben Jenkins about the origins of being. I just want my contribution to be alien or angel. Okay well I was going to have him on this podcast which you're also on so you could probably talk to him about it as
Starting point is 00:59:35 well. Okay yeah the podcast I want to vista oh check it out if you get a chance everybody. Almost immediately after the service launch someone lost out in a scam. Quote they toled me I need to pay 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their theirian. Alien. Alien. Alien. Alien. Alien their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their te.a. te. te. te. te. tell. tell. tell. their their their their their the service launch, someone lost out in a scam. Quote, they told me I need to pay maintenance fees to release my profit. And as I invested less than they requested for maintenance fees, I've been unable to pay these fees, Karuma wrote. I have now realized it's probably a scam and would appreciate some guidance on how I can recover any funds. I just wish... Perfect sentence coming up here Theo. I just wish I had bought more crypto instead of trusting idiots.
Starting point is 01:00:15 What date was that? What's the date on that bad boy? Uh, this story is from like, I think it's only like three or four days ago. It's post collapse, I'm pretty sure. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, I just wish, I just wish, I just wish, just wish, just...

Just wish I had to- Goodbye the dip. You know? I don't think he's for sale.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Oh, this is published yesterday. It's like, I know that this is not an original thought, and it's probably not the first time that we have said that on this show. .. But, but it, but it, but it, but it, but it's th, but it's th, but it's th, but it's th, th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th from th from th from th from thi, th from th from thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the the, the from from from from from from from from the from the from the from the from thi, thi. theeaa. thea'''eat, thi. thea'eat, theat, theat, thi. It's theat, probably not the first time that we have said it on this show but it's very funny to me that so many of the people who are convinced that like they they get something that other people aren't getting in on the ground floor of like the future of something all that sort of stuff also happen to be exactly as susceptible to scams as like your 85 year old grandmother. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Mm-hmm. That is good stuff. Well, I mean, because it might not be a scam. It might be the next big thing. You never know. Then do look stupid. Wouldn't you have egg on your face? El Salvador changes to the, um... to the... To the bean chain. Oh, just think, you know, you'll be standing around thinking, those could have been my magic beans. Yeah, I was...
Starting point is 01:01:35 We're going to look like idiots. Yeah. Right after joining, I was met with DM after DM about NFTs and crypto. One such message linked me to a new discord called Treasury, merging classical art with NFTs. Another was promising a special price of 0.2 the for a limited Mr Bean mint. While funnily enough, also warn me not to trust other links, all others are fake, it said. God. But you'd hate to miss out though.
Starting point is 01:02:08 No, I want to miss out. Like limited edition, Mr Bean Mint. Which again is a JPEG image. Do they even have? Yeah, I suppose. It's a picture from one of the 15 episodes you've already seen 600 times. I think they're actually cartoon Mr. Beans. Even worse. That's not a theme, yes.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Never before seen Bean. Yeah, these are rare beans. If you had like maybe a bunch of, say, intimate behind-the-scenes, portrait photography from the original run of Mr. Bean, you know? A bunch of photos, photos no one ever seen. Maybe he's there in costume but like he's really tired at the end of the day. Head down, cigarette in his fingers, you know. Maybe you've got Mr. Bean in a state of undress.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Yeah, well you've got all of the photos that they couldn't, like scenes in the videos and snippets that they couldn't include in that episode where he gets food poisoning and locks himself out of his hotel room and runs around nude because you can see his dick and saggy little balls. And you can you can own that. Not the picture a little receipt a little receipt that says you've got the picture. You can have a receipt for ownership of a high-quality gift of Mr. Bean blasting diarrhea in the food poisoning episode. Uncut! Plenty of voiced frustration at how common scam bots are for the server, with DMs like these becoming increasingly common for members.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Geez, is this permanent announcement in the official channel real? Metaborandrial asked. I'm getting tired of those scam posts. How do I even verify when this happens all the time? Zen Xeroxith addressed the growing contempt. Quote, it's so unfortunate that this has happened to our community, a word that I believe we should discontinue. Yeah. Community, we're done with that word now.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Call it an aggregate of dunces. Yep. We're annoyed and angry at the bad actors that have breached our discord and managed to do this. Also hasn't this discord been around for like six days now at this point? Yeah. God damn. Some such as Jupa 7. Also, hasn't this discord been around for like six days now at this point? Yeah. God damn. Some, such as Jupa 77, replied to say that they clicked links and lost NFTs while others commented that they came to share their artwork and got scammed.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Nice weekend, as Dope V-Men puts it. Yeah. Wow. Dope V man really said it. Yeah, wow. Dope V man really said it best about the vibe in the Mr. Bean discord after a series of scams. Really troubling news. You said it, brother. What a fucking horrible way to live your life.
Starting point is 01:04:59 It's so embarrassing. If you can think of isolated people in your community that seem like they're spending too much time on the computer. Invite them outside. You know, them the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best. to to to be to to to to like they're spending too much time on the computer, invite them outside. You know, take them to a park or something. I don't know, whatever, but you get them off the fucking computer. You might be the person that saves them from buying a Mr. Bean limited edition mint. Or a fake one, which a fake one. Which equally is scammy. This is just so... And that's what's up. This is unfortunately what is up. Every day this is us all the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Every day with this. But still, uh, we didn't really talk about it because, you know, it was a little too big in the news. But what do you reckon is better? This, or the June Rats? 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... 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, it was a little too big in the news, but what do you reckon is better? This or the June Rats Doritos NFT collub. Yuck. Yuck. Mmm. I saw a, I saw a trailer today for a new video game from Warner Brothers called MetaVersus which is
Starting point is 01:06:08 like a Smash Brothers type clone but it has like every Warner Brothers property into it makes me go cool it's like Game Master Anthony Smash Yeah yeah except like I know that these things already exist. I know the things like Smash Brothers and all that sort of shit is already around. Even going back to stuff like, you know, Marvel versus Capcom and all that sort of stuff. Which rules, because the art looks amazing and it actually plays really well on it. And it was novel at the time I guess. But yeah, in this case, this has much more the flavor of like, the, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and th, the th, and thi, thi, and the thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, and I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and th. And, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and th. And, th. And, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. th thr. th. this case, this has much more the flavor of like how, when they made Space Jam 2, and they said, what if we set it in the cumulative intellectual property of Warner Brothers? And I was like, that's so dope. My kids love it when they get a flash of the clockwork orange
Starting point is 01:07:00 guys in a movie. My kids love Game of Thrones characters standing in the background of a shot. Which is weird as fuck. At least like the Lego movie did it in a way where you're like, huh? I didn't really know it was possible to have a movie where like Gandalf and Dumbledore are like yelling at each other because they're in the same movie and it's being done for laughs. But it's because they own basically everything because Lego makes small or whatever at least that had some novelty to it yeah the space jam two thing of just being like literally the clockwork orange guys are at the
Starting point is 01:07:32 background of a shot you like huh what do you what do you what's this meant to who is this for who is this for hey the matrix guys you know yeah Yeah, man. Anyway, it really does feel like just just having slop shoveled all over you, you know? Yeah, beautiful. So I hope you enjoyed this week's slop. Enjoy your slop, piggies. That's what you want to go out on? Hold on a slow, slow, slump, filthy little pigs. No, I actually have a request. Thank you very much for listening everybody, and I would like to go out this week on Lucy hissing at all the male listeners. We're talking snake hissing or the kind of hissing that I did at other people at my school
Starting point is 01:08:27 when I was 13. Oh, that one please. It's sort of an Emily the strange type hiss, I guess is what you're describing. Whichever one you imagine street harassers in the Netherlands do to upset other people, you know, take it away. Oh. We are the weirdos, mister. That's you. That's who you are right now. You love the craft so much. I bet you fucking love it.
Starting point is 01:08:58 No one. I can't. I'll be the world.
