Hello and welcome to Buntta Vista episode 257 and I'm trusting you can keep a secret. Please take a head-mounted LED light bought on clearance from BCF and follow. But follow closely for these tunnels are labyrinthine and innumerable. As you travel, feel how this deep down in the earth, the earth keeps the walls heated to the ideal temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. Come see the splendor of the Omega Man Cave. It is indeed dark here too, and by design. We have achieved the perfect glare-free environment for the laser projector,

purchased for a steel from Kogan.com. Laser projectors are becoming more viable, you know, and your TV is not HDR compatible. So perhaps it's time? Oh, how remiss of me. This is the meeting of the Council of Boyfriends. When people online say, that's such boyfriend shit, well, tonight we convene again to add to the Pantheon. Don't be fooled into thinking boyfriend's shit is the same as jock shit. It is so different. I'm Theo, but you may know me as brother Declan. To my left, shrouded in darkness in the red Assexix hoodie and Lowe's track suit pants is Andrew,

who you will know is Brother Scotty D. Brother Scotty D. Welcome. Yeah, can I. To my right, shrouded in darkness in the yellow hoodie purchased from the internet with the logo from Friends underneath the photo of Stalin with Nikola Yejof and the most standard issue genes you've ever seen, it's Ben, who you will know as brother Stevie. Brother Stevie, welcome. Thanks mate, it's great to be here.

I did notice that I don't know if it's, I might be a little off, but I think the saturation settings are a little high on the laser projector. Like I get that the colors colors the color the color the color the color is the color is the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color the color th... th. I th. th. th. th. thi. I the most thi, the most the most th. I' the most the most the most.

It's the. the the. the the the. the the the most the most the most the most the most the most the saturation settings are a little high on the laser projector. Like I get that the colors very vivid. I think they might be too vivid, so I was thinking I might have a little fuck around with the settings for somewhere between 45 minutes and 4 hours. Mate, be my guest, we are still dialing in the settings on the laser projector. What kind of had of had of those monster gold-plated it was $90. Worth it though. Worth it. Yeah. My brothers you fucked up. Hmm. Why's that now? You

don't need a monster gold-plated hDMI cable. Okay no now I know what you're going to say and I understand that the signal is the same and so electronic signal but I think the build quality on the cable alone you know I'm not getting some I'm not getting not, I'm not, I'm not getting a $4 HDBI cable from the Office Works Impulse Buy bins at the front of body, Office Works because you know that will deteriorate over time. Brother you make a good point. And finally, upon the throne of judgment, prepared to deal out the final word on what is Boy's shit for 2022, it's Lucy, or as she is known by the Council of Boyfriends, hey you, hey you. Hey, there's some boyfriend shit in here.

Hmm. Thank you. We worked all weekend. Is there some boyfriend shit, because I've just been through the experience of my boyfriend wanting to buy a new television. And that process took roughly four weeks, in which times I had to go into the Hobart J.B. Hi-Fi roughly eight to nine times, sit down in front of each different TV. Well, he tell me that there's a difference between the two and I've come to believe that there's significant scientific differences between

the man and woman brain. So I'm gonna, actually I have two questions. First question, when you say the Hobart J.B. Hi-Fi. You know what I mean. There is one? There might be two. Good Lord. This is a capital city with that that that that that that that the the the the there there there there there there their there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there is there is there is there is there is there is a, uh there is there is a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, there, there, there, there, there, the, there, the, the, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there's, there is, there is, there is one? There might be two. Good Lord. This is a capital city with a population of 250,000. Absolutely. And that J.B. Hi-Fi, let me tell you, it's always it's wild in there. Is it like a homemaker? You're begging for someone to help you. It's busy, it's crazy in there. My second question was, I am led to believe you got a 4K television because of some posts

you made about Pat having bought you, your ultra-HD versions of the Lord of the Rings. And I spent a lot of time complaining, but I gotta say he was right to do it. I mean you, you sewing, the bad one, you're reaping? Reaping? Pretty good. You're loving reaping, because I have a PS 5. And that's that's, I 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 th. th. th. th. that's th. that's th. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. theea.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. Pretty good! Loving it. You're loving reaping right now. Because I have a PS5 and that's great because now I get to actually enjoy the benefits of the PS5 a product which is wildly expensive and mostly useless. Boyfriends be buying PS5. Hmm. That's so true, that's some boyfriend shit.

Yeah to play FIFA on. Boyfriends be buying me a PS 5 and then only playing the PS 5 the PS 5 the the the the the the PS 5 the the the the the the the PS 5 5 the the the th. And the th. And the th.

Brother Stevie, if you're done with your two questions, I am in a Q-B-Hugh, here in front of the Ferunit. My second question was, did we go O-led? What are we talking? We went Q-Ned. Now I know what that means because the guy and J-B-H-H- spent so long talking about him. QNED. QNED? He was like you don't want the OLED, you want the QNED. What the fuck are you saying? I QNED. It's an amalgamation of the word quantum LG's nanocell LGD branding and the emitting diodes used in its backlight. I'm still on diodododododododododed something something something something something something. I to to to that. I'm that that that to that that to that that thened to that that thineed thineed thineed that that's to to to that's to that's to to to that's th. I that's to that's to to that's to to that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that its backlight. I'm still on diodes. I'm convinced something goes on in your boyfriend brains that doesn't happen in my brain. It's true. I had a question which was did you start the conversation, so this this exhaustive

process that you've been through, at the beginning of it were you saying girlfriend things like we don't need a TV that big, or did you not really give a fuck from the very beginning? So I was pro because this means that the old TV goes here in the study and I can put the PS4 here, so when the kids are here, well, that's Lucy time. Oh my god, this is... This all man came in here. But what I was definitely saying was, a TV shouldn't cost that much money. I don't think we should spend that much money on a TV. I was wrong. I'm going to say it. I was wrong. I was incorrect.

I guess my question for Theo is, what kind of equipment did you use to tunnel down here to make this sick man cave? We have been using shovels. That's boyfriend shit. That's boyfriend shit. Hi, technology. You've been getting the second cheapest shovel that you can get at Bunnings, not the cheapest one. Because no, that'll be a piece of shit.

Yes, this is rhino brand. Hmm. Can I pull back the curtain here just for a quick second? Just to step out of the sort of piece that we're doing here. Love that you're doing voice work, Theo. And if anything, all of a sudden I find you more trustworthy, more authoritative, I respect you more, I want to give you money. Yeah, I really have a very similitude to, maybe I've got a deep voice in action.

And this is just a funny squeaky voice that I put on for the character Theo. Trying to disarm people this whole time. Ben, let me know when you want to pull the curtain back because I have a curtain here for sound effects. Right. He's holding. That's that. That's that. That's 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 Right. He's holding a curtain in this room. I'm ready to close the curtains down. Okay. Yep that is the sound of curtains curtains. Oh I was a couple of weeks ago a friend of the show Adam on Twitter who is at

Kells underscore 316. He posted about going on a cave tour and and it was like I thought about doing a review for the Kerry's cave tour at We Jasper but found these trip advisor ones that nail it. A 60 minute tour took almost three fucking hours because the guide can't stop dribbling his fucking idiotic boomerish opinions. He is a fucking dip shit. Don't go. Everything from sexist to ablest to racist including doing accents. Are they separate reviews or the same one voice black. This is him at the start, right? Just explaining his experience. With a bonus 15-minute explanation of why him saying black fella isn't racist.

The guy is a fucking liability to what is otherwise a great little tourist cave and he is attached a series of trip advisor reviews. One star beautiful caves embarrassing racist guide do not waste your money. I attended the tour with my partner at six-year-old. The tour was already running 45 minutes late when we finally started. He started off by insulting some people who were coming from the toilets when he started speaking, made fun of them and got lost. He then aimed some racist coronavirus to the Chinese group near us and mentioned the

masks so they wouldn't spread the virus to the bats. He then made... Come on. He then made rude comments about children to us and another family. There were so many insults to people throughout the tour that it ruined the experience. I felt myself so embarrassed for the other tourists from other countries who came to think this was an example of how Australians thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii A a a a a a a the other tourists from other countries who came to think this was an example of how Australians think an act. All of the reviews say like one star strap yourselves in. The caves are lovely. Our guide on the other hand took full advantage of the captive audience to bore us with blonde jokes, short jokes, old jokes, old jokes and divorce jokes. The tour ran almost an hour over time and by the end our toddler was bouncing off the walls.

We were glad to get out but it was too late to do anything else but drive home. This is so good. He's just there in a cave telling ex-wife jokes. Yeah, and you can't get away from him because you're in a cave. I actually have a cave story of my own. This morning, the first thing I did when I woke up was I top to bottom read the Wikipedia article on the Thai cave rescue and cried several times. Really? Have you watched the show?

No. There's a show now. And there's a movie coming out soon, I believe as well. Some documentary about it. Yeah, there's like a, there's already a dramatization movie, there's a documentary and there's another movie coming out. But goodness gracious, it was, you know, just one of those real tear jerker things where all sorts of people coming together to do something and like the people that died doing the rescue and stuff, really fucking.

Oof, got me right in the heart. much mention of Elon the the the the the the the the the the the the there, there, there, there, there, th, there, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th's thoom's thoom's thoom's thoomcatiea, there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho tho tho thoes thoes thooo-a' thooanoanoano-a'eoano-a'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'e, got me right in the bloody, right in the heart. Much, uh, much mention of Elon. Not even once, which is great. Yeah, fuck that guy. Funniest option. Because you would think that a story like that would be dominated by a fucking idiot with a really big Twitter following who gets way more attention and credence to the things that he says than he should. He wasn't really sloppy like in a physical sense like hamburger meat. Why do you look like that? Yeah you're a billy-meet you don't

have to. Body shame. Yeah. No but there's a they made they made their deal. There's a thing that seems to happen to guys who like are in their 50s have a lot of they. they. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. th. th. to th. th. th th to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they they they they they they they they they they they thing that seems to happen to guys who like are in their 50s have a lot of money. I'm assuming they have enough money to pay for like physical trainers and all the vitamins you can snap down. You can get Joe Biden teeth and fillers and Elon Musk spent I assume 45 million dollars giving himself a full head of hair which he hasn't had since he was 17 years old. Yeah. But like Joe Rogan, Tom Cruise and Elon Musk all seem to have the same torso which is like it's expanding outward from the front and not in all the other directions. They've got Rob Leefield drawing torsos. Yeah very much. You got Jack Nicholson torso and there was a perfect segue that you had set up there that was just so. And not. and they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they got they got they they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they got they're got they got they they're got they're got they're got to to to to to to they they they're they're they're they're they're they're got they're got they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. But the. But the. But the. But the. But the. But got Jack Nicholson torso. And it was a perfect segue

that you had. Yeah, I know. I don't line around. I just derailed that one. Well, I've still got like a lot of intro to go as well. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm still in the intro part. I didn't realize. Uh-huh. We all know that very much, from the previous council. We all know that the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings has been the standard issue box set for boyfriend years bygone. Tonight we shall judge a new entry for boyfriend box sets. I humbly offer to you, the council, seasons one through five of Boardwalk Empire on Bluray.

Brother Stevie. What say you do have an offering for this category? That's you, Ben. Oh, thank you, Sarah. I've forgotten the names already. Yeah, I was thinking the Born Trilogy on UltraHD, Bluray might be a way to go there. Limited color palette, so it's not really going to show off the more impressive elements of the television, but a gripping thrill ride of some practical dad business. Plus if you turn motion smoothing on, then those fight scenes will make a little bit more sense.

What are you talking about? You're making up things that the TV does, you're making up words like refresh rate.. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the more the more the the the the the the the the the the the the the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the....efficient tele.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas.eas. thea. thea. thea the. the. What are you talking about? You're making up things. Men are making up things that the TV does. You're making up words like refresh rate. Women be claiming that they can't see motions movie. Brother Scotty D, do you have an entry for this category? Uh, I'm just just googling quickly to see if Mark Wahlberg's shooter is available on Blu-ray I've got it on. It must be.

I've got it on Blu-ray. 4k Ultra-Hig definition. Oh, what? 4.7 stars out of five from 11, 300 reviews. That is a quality movie. Irrefutable. The highest quality available, you know? Hey you, what say you?

So we have, uh, we have Boardwalk Empire. We've got the Born Trilogy, and we've got Shooter on UltraHD. All of you denied, how dare you come to me here in this cave with such terrible options. The clear answer is Russell Crow's Gladiator. It's making a comeback, you know. Maybe a little 300.

I watched the end scene. Who will help me carry him? And so forth. Master and Commander might be a... Ooh. This is furtive ground. I will schedule it for next meeting. Oceans of battlefield?

Holy fuck! That must be crazy. Next we move to culinary obsessions. I offer to the council getting really into their own hot sauce brewing. Brother Stevie, what say you? Okay, well I think we might be done with smoking. That's kind of out. I think we need to move into something else. Getting really into making a good bolonase, a little too obvious. Hmm. Home brewing definitely also out. Yeah, homebrew five years ago. I think we need to pick a, and I'm going to take inspiration from real life here, I think

it's time to get into Korean cooking in a really big way. That just seems like something that a boyfriend or husband or father of two podcaster could really, really sink his thing into. Yeah. An excellent suggestion. Brother Scotty D. I could really, really get into. Yeah. An excellent suggestion. Brother Scotty D. I am getting extremely into crafting artisan cider with kits that I purchase from eBay

and I pour the contents into a bottle of golden circle apple juice that I bought from Woolworth's on special. Hey you, we have brewing hot sauce getting really into cooking Korean or home brew in juice packets. It's really nice level. I feel like you're like you're ahead of the trends. Maybe that's boyfriend's shit in 2024. Hmm. 2022? I'm thinking it's fermenting anything.

Hot sauce. Hot sauce. It's having too many jars. Next we move to hyper-specific things for boyfriends to get annoyed over. I offer to the council girlfriends cutting meat along the grain, Brother Stevie. I'm angry that I'm getting the shortest amount of time to think about this every single time. Um... because I respect you.

Oh, thank you so much. Just in my own, I'm getting really, I don't know if this is just me. I'm getting really, really, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, th, the, the, thi, thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, I'm, I'm the, the, the, the, the, the, the the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thin, thi thi thin, the thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thank you so much. Just in my own, I'm getting really, I don't know if this is just me. I'm getting really, really agitated about common courtesy things recently. And doing a lot of audibly complaining to my friends about how it costs nothing to be nicer. When people, um, not giving thank you waves when you're driving. It's just fucking just give one. If someone lets you in, you just give a thank you wave. Reciprocate the thank you wave. Fucking people parking their stupid higher app e-scooter things directly in the middle of the footpath

or in other places. People not picking up their rubbish. You can be a little more courteous. I'm just seeing a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot the people around you and it's starting to drive me fucking insane. Are you saying that women would ever do this? Are you saying a woman would do something wrong? I'm saying that both I think all levels of society levels like I'd that's an interesting implication there. Everyone's doing it in not doing these things. And we only control what the boyfriends will do.

So, brother Scotty D. Getting extremely annoyed about the motion smoothing being left on on the TV and my girlfriend pretending that she doesn't see what I'm talking about. I'm like they shouldn't be gliding around like that. It looks like they're on the stage of the the theater. It is unnatural. It looks like I'm thinks. It looks 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 that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th th th they're they're th that that that that that that, so. So, so th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. So. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that that that to to that to to that to to to to that to that that that that that that talking about. I'm like they shouldn't be gliding around like that. It looks like they're on the stage. It is unnatural. It looks like I'm watching an episode of fucking days of our lives. Doesn't work. Nothing's happening in my eyes. It's bullshit. You can't see it and you're gaslighting me. So for hyper-specific things for boyfriends to get annoyed over. We have girlfriends cutting meat along the grain. We have not being common courteously. And motion smoothing being on, hey you, what say you? I mean firstly, a girlfriend has never done anything wrong. No girlfriend that I'm aware of has ever done anything wrong. But might I also add, buying a large iced coffee

and not drinking it, and leaving it lying around the house. Seeing it on Tick Tock all the time. Might be girlfriend shit. It seems like some American girlfriend shit, I think. Because they were always buying 64 rounds ice coffees. And bisexuals is what I'm hearing on the internet. Bisexualsexuals be drinking ice coffee. Leaving your 64 ounce ice coffee around and not drinking it low-key a bisexual ADHD trait. So true.

So true. Yeah. Okay. Finally we look to our crystal ball purchased from Ali Baba to relay the groundwork for the next trend in boyfriend shit. I offer to the council, learning calligraphy, using the olden pens and inkwells and shit. Really is a more connected way to write. We'll go with Brother Scotty D. What is the next trend in boyfriend shit? Now you're putting me first because brother Stevie complained about it and that's bullshit. I would say that now it's going to be buying pressings of block party albums on wax cylinders. Oh yeah something that

it just sounds better when you wind it yourself, you know. Yeah, it's so true. When you wind the phonograph yourself. Brother Stevie? I think it's going to be getting really into beekeeping. But not like, not like what you're doing with native bees that don't, I'm thinking low-risk, low reward.

Yeah, I'm thinking importing American honeybees over here and then getting like specific honey strains for your friends and you. Hmm. Hey you, so we've got calligraphy, uh, block party on wax cylinder and beekeeping. Hmm. My ruling. The next boyfriend trend will be beekeeping. Bee keeping. You hear it first. A year from now, everyone's going to be saying, boyfriends be tending to the bees.

Boys, boyfriends low-key, bee keeping bees. Thank you. Brother Stevie please edit in the don-dong sound from Law and Order to bring this meeting to a close. I'll see what I could do. Hey you know who else is probably a boyfriend? Wow. The subject of the... I'm thought I don don't know. We abandoned that segue for this. I think he left behind. I think he is. What was your what was your segment? That was speaking of disgusting, horrible people with pieces of their shit with too much too much money giant Twitter followings, people putting a lot of credence into the things they say when they shouldn't

Yep, uh It's time for another addition of that Of that podcast section segment that we do all of the time. It's the dip shit dossier Bop blah blah, whatever. Don't have a theme for that one. That's a good one. We should have a we don't have a we don't have a th. th. th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a th don't have a theme for that one. That's a good one. We should have a we don't have a theme for this thing. Yeah. Check that on the list. I think we're at three.

Three in the backlog now. I'm actually writing it down now. So, I think we all kind of got recently and briefly extremely obsessed with Scott Adams on Twitter. I think it's safe to say for like a day there. We're all just sort of in awe. And we'll get to why. But first, who is Scott Adams? Scott Adams is the Dilbert? He's the guy that wrote Dilbert. I think it's pronounced Diblet. Dill Bear. Dill Bear. Dill Bear. From the French. He is also, I think it's safe to say, a mind warrior of the highest regard. He has absolute

Teflon reflexes for logic for shifting goalpost for whatever, and he spends all of his time on Twitter for some reason as well, which is apparently what you do when you're extraordinarily rich and you've got nothing else to do. So I started off kind of going through his media tab just to see what I could dig up. Because what I was interested in is taking us through a, doing a little tour of Scott Adams' extremely malnourished mind. Are we dipping into his mind palace? We're dipping into his mind palace.

This could be like a really, really bad version of the cell. Yeah, oh, that's Scott Adams, it's the cell. Yeah, except instead of a horse being cut into slivers, it's dog but. It's dog bit. Um, because the man loves his absolute insane whiteboard creed, which you can pay money to watch videos of him riding on the whiteboard, I take it. But he is also just absolute, complete. And we did do a dramatic reading of his blog where he commands you to have an orgasm.

That's right. That was... Episode 168, Field of Creams. Hmm. I didn't stop coming for weeks. I'm still coming. All right. What's that? Mainly, I just learned to speak in my normal voice again, you know, but it's happening

pretty much all the time. A little spooky moment of synchronicity here. Let me read the episode, for episode 168 out to you. Let Andrew, Lucy, and Ben help Dilbert creator Scott Adams hypnotize you into doing one of the top five comes of your life. Plus, underground man caves. Oh! Shooting your own dick off in the new single from Vin Diesel. But we will be shooting our own diks off later in the episode. That's right, that's and the new single from Vin Diesel. But we will be shooting our own dicks off later in the episode. That's right, that's what the secret is.

Try and stop me. Okay, so before we get to his, um, the, the philosophical insights that you can pay him money for, let us just briefly enter his mind dojo with some, some of his choice cuts on Twitter. This is a favorite, perennial favorite, from this would be backwards time, so this will be July 2020. Scott Adams says if Biden is elected there's a good chance you will be dead within the year. Finally. Yeah, and he replies to this, Republicans will be hunted. That would have been so good. It would have been so cool.

Brief dunk from Maddie Iglesias, which you never want to have happening, who replies, I believe, towards the end of the end of the year with quote going to be a busy final week of the year I guess to which Scott Adams quote tweets correct and correct and he provides so he provides some evidence don't you worry about this to the claim that if Biden is elected there's a good chance you'll be dead within the year first piece of evidence US life expectancy falls to lowest level in almost 20 years due to COVID-19. So probably not, not materially what his claim is sort of – yeah. And then he also quotes, also with the caption, Not a Bad Prediction, from AP News,

Hunt for Capital Attackers still on six months after January 6. Now, that, that, that, that's 20 the the to the the the in in in in in in the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the toeeeeeeeeeeeeateeeeeateateeateate to te. today toe te toe toe toe today toe toe toe toe toe the toe the toe toe toe the caption, not a bad prediction. From AP News, Hunt for Capital Attackers still on six months after January 6th. Now that has the word hunt in the title, which of course is the same thing that he, you know, is implying where Republicans would be hunted for sport for being, believing, like Elmphard hat on elephant gun in hand, you know, in a blind, pretending that you are a five guys, but it's actually just a mock-up that you've built around you. I think he says, um, be very, very quiet. I'm hunting, we pub wickens. Yeah, that is, that does sound like what you would say. Because of the speech impediment.

It's speech impediment, yeah. That's the main thing that was funny in the 50s. Yeah. Hello. It's me. Ben. From this podcast.

So hopefully we've got a gist for his rhetorical style I would say which is making extremely weird and outlandish claims and then kind of just kicking the goalposts. Kicking my can down the road. Yeah all the way. So now let's let's hit some of the whiteboards here if you guys can scroll to page, whatever that is in the document. Oh, for sure. Yeah, page 3. It's got a page 3. It's got nice handwriting.

Very neat. It is neat. It was a cartoonist for a while, actually. So I think we had to get good at writing letters. He's got a whiteboard here. How to criticize Scott Adams, because this is actually front of mind for him, is what people say about him and criticize him and how that doesn't affect him because he is a gleaming diamond of perfect logic and reason. Number one, misinterpret his opinion. So we have already misinterpreted his opinion in that we've misinterpreted him saying

that Republicans will be hunted, as in for sport, et cetera. Two, criticize your hallucination. Love doing that. Yeah. So you've built this straw man in your head. It's true man. Yeah. Yep. And number three, don't spare the snark. So if we can keep that in mind as we go through

go through his nuggets of wisdom. It's such a funny, snark is a word with just so much of a, it had so much baggage to me in that like you have to be a specific kind of tedious person to be like, a bit snarky that, wasn't it? It's a catfewed-ass word. Yeah. Disgusting. Now, Ben, would you be able to describe to us and the listeners the next slide,

what you see here? Certainly, I would love to do that very much. I'll start to be the to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, thoffipickpick, thoe, thatheffi, thoe, thoe, thoomk, thoick, thoick, thoomk, to beaick, to beaqqqqqqqqqqqq. to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, today, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, the words. The top there is a title Nobel Prize and then there are two sort of sub-titles dividing the the board into a left half and a right half. The left half has the title Old Focus. Right-hand title has new focus. So this is sort of setting up... We're splitting the continuum of Nobel Prizes and the... Yeah. Yeah, and what's important to them? So there is a stylized drawing of a human head cross-section with a brain in it and then a line pointing to that and then it says brains. And left-hand so that's the... Not really a lot of trust for his audience there I think. No, so that's the the old focus. The new

focus is a disembod... No, sorry the opposite of disembodied. Decapitated? Decapitated, yeah. There is a decapitatedated body, tea posing. There is a penis there is a arrow pointing to the penis that says penis. It'd be hard. What's to say? Well, it's pointing directly down, so that would be a weird direction were that the case? It says penis brackets, yes, slash, no, plus self-identification, plus race. So I guess what he's telling us, through the incredible power of words and art, is that

the Nobel Prize used to be about the contents of your nongin, and now it's about whether you have or don't have a penis and then how that penis relates to your gender and then also what race you are. I can see why this guy. And whether you identify as a Nobel Prize winner. That's right. He's good stuff makes the big bucks for cartoons. This is good stuff. It's good stuff.

I think it's good that he's finally been able to identify for us why Scott Adams has not yet received a Nobel Prize. Yeah. The question must be this man has no dick, etc. Yeah. All right. Lucy, you want to serve us the next one? All right. System systemic the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. The. Then th is th. Then th. Then th. They th. This is th. This is th. This is th. This is thus is thus. thus. thus. thus. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's is is th. He's th. I th. I th. I th. He's th.

It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It'sy. Lucy, you want to serve us the next one? All right, systemic racism is the title. Then there's a big circle and it says schools are racist. And then there's a little chunk taken out of that circle.

Not in a pie chart manner, just a random bit of that circle taken out. Well, it's a sort of unconventional riff on the pie chart where a pie chart is usually carved into slices, whereas this is if you just took a bite out of the pie. It's like a bite out of the pie. And it says, so the big circle says schools are racist, the little bites says everything else. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, which... I'm not sure I get this one. Yeah. He's saying that schools are racist and then I think everything else including you know like the like ongoing systemic racism of police against black folk in America and you know voter ID laws and the you know having their wealth stripped over generation generations etc that's just the little that's a little bite up the top.

Right, because we're teaching radical, critical race theory or whatever in schools, I guess. That's a real thing that's definitely happening. I'll take the next one because I really enjoy this one. This is a very busy panel. The title is My Path. On the left, I don't know whether this is captioning or leading into the box below, but it says stories that can't be told, and then within that box potentially highlighting the stories that he can't tell, secret, trust, modesty, lack of credentials,

loyalty, complicated. Yeah. Yeah, so I think we've pieced that all together. Yeah. Let's walk down his path here. Power of positive thinking, which is a thing from Peel, I think. Arrow downwards pointing to reality is programmable. Arrow downwards pointing to meditation, hypnosis,

mushrooms, religion, affirmations, persuasion. Mm-hmm. A little arrow downwards, found the user interface to reality. And then, uh, the exciting culmination of this entire whiteboard, Arrow Right, to the right, Crazy 1997 Prediction, in brackets, evolution. Yeah, I'm intrigued. I think the crazy 1997 prediction was that a few years later, the Ivan Reitman comedy Evolution would be released. It's a fun movie. I can't believe he foresaw that. He for saw released. It's a fun movie.

I can't believe he foresaw that. He did it. I'm glad he said Mushroom. He's too. I'm glad he said Mushrooms because I was going to say, this looks like my notes app when the I first took mushrooms. Just like I found the user interface to reality. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Andrew can you hit us with the with the next one although we have to kind of preface it this is this is real medical advice so for those at home. Don't worry about what's behind his head I don't think we'll ever know. Yeah so he's got a heading up the top and so yeah he is standing in front of the whiteboard blocking part of it kind of peering into the camera looking very sane the title up the top says HCQ plus zinc plus as you throw myson yeah I think HCQ might be hydrochlor queen whatever it's called that's right he was a big

hydrochlor queen guy in like early 2020s, probably still is, but... And then, so he's got a list underneath this, the following items on it, might work, very safe, cheap. And then in a box, with an arrow pointing to this list and says Trump. The suggestion I suppose here being that Trump wants you to have HCQ and zinc and all those things. But then there's another box that says CNN and that's got a list under it. It says dangerous, doesn't work, trials prove it ineffective. Yeah and you can kind of, you know from his framing that this is on the right, it's supposed to be ridiculous, which is of course three things that were completely true about

that. So that's fun. Now this one I really enjoy. This is so good. this is so good. For one, one thing that I think really unlocks his psyche. It's the, it's the little key that kind of turns in his horrible little dome head to flip that head open. And I feel like he was thinking about me when he wrote this. So we're going to, we're going to go to Troll College.

A course that he... Where we all studied. by the way. Here are the rules to troll college. Miss State then criticize the group's worst person. Humor is objective. That's so funny. Yeah, yeah, it's a straight line to him and like people going like, Dilbit isn't funny, you fucking horrible person. Oh, it's objective, is it? Yeah. Analogies of thinking, there's a whole bunch blocked by him.

So let's apply this thinking. The target says, and the target could be anybody, it could be Scott Adams, the target says E equals MC squared. Responses to the target, idiot, lull, wow, Garfield. Dilbert's boss, racist, sarcasm. He's just so funny. He's so funny because he's truly believes that he's Einstein. And this man blocked me because I asked him if Dilbert drank dog come. I don't believe is it like the kind of thing that he's referencing when he says Garfield. Absolutely.

Lucy is there an episode of a different podcast that you might have spoken about this on that people could listen to? There is an episode of the podcast blocked party. This is very very the the the th. I th. I th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's tho. It's tho. It's tho. It's tho. I tho. I th. I th. I th. I th... Yeah. Yeah................. Yeah. Yeah....... It's th.. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. th. th. the. th. the. the. the. the of the podcast Blocked Party. This is very fun. Don't know what it is, but I'm sure you can find it. You're smart. You know how to search on the app. If you're listening to us and hearing our opinions, you must also be a genius like us. That's true. You also get your degree at Troll College? Yeah, But we actually believe that. What is it about getting like a, either being financially successful in any measure or having a big Twitter following or, God forbid, a combination of the two that convinces men that they're just like astrophysicists all of a sudden.

Yeah. It's cartoonist. We need to find out what's going on with cartoonist. You got Bill Leak, you got the Lunig guy. Well, we did have the Loonig guy. We did. We did, and then he died. I assume though that like, with Scott Adams, I feel like there's something at play here like, you know how Jordan Peterson disappeared for a while and it was because he was being cold turkeyed off benzos

by his grifting daughter in a Russian rehab somewhere. I remember that when it went into a coma. Yes. It does ring a bell yeah. Went to a coma and then since he's come back from that like and started popping up doing videos and stuff more, he seems like much more unhinged than he was previously. Like everything that he's saying he looks like palpably, viscerally angry. He looks savage, like he's a torned coyote. Yeah, wildly swinging back and forth between being extremely like angry about things to bursting into tears the moment he's asked about anything, all that stuff to reflect a really great state of mind

mentally. And it's the kind of thing that you look at where you say, I'm pretty sure that when you have to be put in an induced coma for Many weeks possibly months as a result of going to cold turkey from benzos like you are absolutely incurring brain damage right Probably like I don't I don't think generally speaking now I'm no doctor But I think generally speaking any time that people are in a coma for a period of time it it doesn't tend to render a bunch of health benefits. Like no I don't think anyone comes out of it just going oh I feel refreshed. I think it's it's generally quite a toll on your brain and I think that Scott Adams has had something like this. Yeah he's had an accident where like a a ladder like a ladder like a tho like a the tol tol tol tol tol tol tol tol tol tol tol th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the tho the tho the the the the the the the te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te to to to to to to to to to to to to to te. te. to te. te. to to to to te. toe. to toe. te. to te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. has had something like this. Yeah, he's had an accident where like a ladder, yeah, a ladder like has fallen over and one of the sharp

bits has just hit him directly on the back of his head. Now Andrew, would you like to read this one entitled Trump please because I think it's it's gonna set the tone for the finale for this? Yes, please, because I think it's going to set the tone for the finale for this. Yes, now, Scott Adams is doing something here, which those of you are familiar with the business world might understand as a cost-benefit analysis. Yeah. Classic CBIA. For sure, absolutely. And he's done a little cost-benefit analysis of Trump for us here.

Heading up top Trump, he's drawn a circle around it. Thank you. Underlined benefits. Here's the list. Economy. Judges. That's working out great so far. Yeah. Trade deals. Also, fantastic. North Korea, Middle East. Regulations cut. Fake news called out. Mm-hmm. China resistance. And of course, ISIS. Yeah. Confuse on this. It's under benefits. Yeah. Remember how, um,

North Korea? Isses? Remember how Trump defeated ISIS? And then we were just done with that? Yeah, it's nice. Yeah. Pretty cool. And on the other side under costs,

he's only got a few things here. The first one is a capital riot, and in parentheses, five dead. And then just one other item under there which says rhetoric. Yep. Yep. Can't be having any bad rhetoric. He's got a, I think he's got an incredible grasp on things and and you know he knows it as well. But he also does that bit where that is very very popular for Republicans where he pretends that he where, that is very, very popular for Republicans, where he pretends that he's got a target painted on him the whole time and it's not like one of his own painting kind of thing.

Like, yeah. So this is a quote from February 2020 from him, and he says, in 2017, Bloomberg, the publication, did a hit piece on me that featured this photo. So down below, it's got a photo of him kind of going through a doorway. And he's flicking the switch on a light, and above that light, is hanging a Make America Great Again hat. He says, looks like I have a maga hat on the wall, doesn't it? I never owned one.

Too dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. You know how it was super dangerous for specifically for Trump supporters during the Trump pre-presidency? Yeah. But he's a big-time political guy. And he certainly knows his ideology and what he wants as well, as we can tell from,

this is a quote, I think, from Wikipedia. So he said, in 2017, September 2017, he described himself as being left of Bernie Sanders with a preference for plans that can work. Uh-huh. Yep. In 2015, although Adam's stated that he would not endorse a candidate for the 2016 elections, he repeatedly praised Donald Trump's persuasion skills. He extensively detailed what he called Trump's talent stack, which we will read from.

Adam's predicted that Trump would win the Republican nomination and the general election. He's got us there. He's got us. He's got us. Of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he said the following, quote, if you're an undecided voter and male, you're seeing something different. You're seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished and it's happening by an impressive venue that was in all likelihood designed and built mostly by men. Yeah you motherfucker because

they didn't let people yeah because fucking yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh Adam said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton out of fear for his own life, saying that he received direct and indirect death threats. Quote, where I live in California, it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does. So I fixed that. That dangerous place, California. You're going to be nasty to me. In late September, however, Adam switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. Among his primary reasons were his respect for Trump's persuasion skills, Clinton's proposal to raise the inheritance tax.

Now remember he's left of Bernie Sanders. Left of Bernie Sanders, yeah. And his concerns over Clinton's health. Still funny. It's extremely funny. In mid-October, Adam was predicted a Clinton victory would ensure that a male president would never again be elected. You know how we had Barack Obama and then we never had a white guy? Yeah. In there again? He also stated that being labeled a Donald Trump

apologist ended his public speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%. Now that one I believe. I owned. Yeah. But also, like, I love with dudes like this that it's never, um, yeah, it's never people don't want me to come and do public speaking anymore because I am doing like eight hour long. Well, there's like saying stupid stuff right. speaking anymore because I am doing like eight-hour long... Saying some dumb shit?

Well, there's like saying stupid stuff, right? And then there's his style of I'm doing like an eight-hour long unhinged live stream where I explain the universe through like pickup guy logic? Yeah. Like as though nobody's gonna see that and go, oh I think this guy might actually be a fucking idiot. Yeah just a huge moron. So we mentioned before that he detailed Trump's talent stack. So let's go into this is from 2018 by the way so we we kind of already know how everything kind of worked out by this point. So in his talent stack we have public speaking.

Trump is an engaging speaker and he knows how to entertain a crowd but no one would say he's one of the best speakers in the world. Humor Trump is funny. Better than Joe Biden. Yeah, better than Joe Biden. That's right. Humor Trump is funny but he but he isn't Seinfeld funny. He's just funnier than most people. That's the funniest he can be. Signfield funny. Odd world view. Oh, nice modern point of reference there.

Um, intelligence. Trump is, Trump is smart. That's such a funny sentence. He probably wouldn't beat Hillary Clinton on a thi funny funny funny funny funny funny thiiiiii th. He's th. He's tre tre tre tre tre tre tre tre tr. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's funny tre. He's hea. He's hea. He's hea. He's hea. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's he. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's tr. He's tr. He's tr. He's tr. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's tru. He's just just tru- tru- tru-he's tru-he's tru-he's thu- thu- thu- thu-hea. He's funny. He's funny. He is smart. It's a funny sentence. That's such a funny sentence. He probably wouldn't beat Hillary Clinton on a standardized IQ test, but he's smarter than 90% of the world and probably far more. No one's not. He's not. He's street smart. I'm giving that much.

Yeah. That's good enough for a talent stack, he says. Dumb internet guys love using the word stack to make them sound like they're using sort of technical jargon to describe different things, you know, like your stack of new tropics or whatever that you're on or your mindfulness stack or whatever, you know, it's like a weird fucking thing where they think it makes them sound quite smart. And what they're really saying is several things. Yeah. 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 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 good 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 thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's like. It's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like saying is, several things. Yeah. Yeah, he's got a couple of things going on. Knowledge of politics. Compared to career politicians and political pundits,

Trump looks under-informed. But he probably knows more about politics than 95% of the public. And that seems to be enough. Advisors will fill in the knowledge gap. Again, you already know who his advisors are at this point. It's 2018, so you know. Branding. Trump is a world class marketer and brander. He probably isn't best in the world at those things, but he's very, very good. Hiring and firing. One of the most important skills the president needs is the ability to hire good advisors and equally important, fire the mistakes. So true. He had he he he he that he he th th th he he th th he he th th th he he th th th th th th th th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He's thi thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thea thea thea thea. thea. thea. the the the the the. the. t. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. te. te. te. try. te. te. try. try. te. try. try. tha. try. try. good advisors and, equally important, fire the mistakes.

So true, he had that show. He had that show. He had that show. He said you're hired though. Hmm. Interesting. Um, you've got to be willing to do more firing than hiring. Otherwise, you know, it's just like, where's the money going hiring and firing, but I bet he's in the top 10% just from practice. God.

Top 10% in firing people. Strategy, Trump won the presidency in large part because his non-standard strategy worked great. He focused on free media, big rallies in the key swing states. That was good enough to win. Again, he's probably not the best strategist in the world, but he's very good. I wonder who he does think is the best in the world of all these things. I know, this is a terrible structure to this blog place. Yeah, he's like every, he prefaces all with like, he's probably not the best. But, but you know, pretty good.

He's up there. He's up there. . in a way that people of his generation usually don't. Okay, I got to agree with this. He's a born-crost. He's made a great point. Trump may not be in the most internet savvy politician of all time, but he's definitely in the top 10% persuasion. Trump might be the most persuasive person I have ever observed in the act of persuading. Imagine being persuaded by Trump. That's embarrassing. I could be persuaded by Donald Trump to order some McDonald's. Yeah. That is probably about it. I don't think

I could be persuaded by Donald Trump to eat a quarter pounder that had sat under a heat lamp in the White House for six hours. No. He's persuasive because he combines a bunch of minors skills into one big persuasive toolbox. He's good at because he combines a bunch of minor skills into one big persuasive toolbox. He's good at reading people, good at being provocative to attract attention, good at sales technique. But he probably isn't the best of any of them. But when you add them together along with lots of other subsidiary persuasion skills and now Office of the President, Trump might be the most persuasive person on earth.

What? Just said he probably isn't the best in the world. You just said it. He's up there. He's up there. And risk management. Trump understands risk. We see his business dealings as he isolates different lines of business in their own corporate structures

so they can fail without bringing down the rest. So, like not really concerned with succeeding, but just not like collapsing and also like his businesses don't actually return that much and he just start off with a whole bunch of money in the first place, etc. We also know that Trump enters businesses that have unlimited upside potential with limited risk and he prefers gambling with other people's money. It probably understands risk management better than 90% of the public. So he's up there again. He keeps saying 90% I don't want a president that's top 10% I want I want 99th percentile. That's right. Um which brings us all the way back around. There's actually no there's no closing the loop here. It actually kind of jumps suddenly in the document here to why we're

thin Scott Adams again. The, I point you to the last whiteboard picture in the in the notes. Lucy do you want to give this one a crack? See if we can sum this one up. So this is titled personal responsibility. That's in scare quotes. So it's personal responsibility. And then there's like... So called. That's in scare quotes, so it's personal responsibility. And then there's like... So called. There's like a, there's an arm that says free will. And then there's a maybe like a little tablet or just a little circle that says fentanyl. Why fentanyl do you think?

Not sure. Maybe it'll become clear in the bottom half. And then in the bottom half, there's a big monster. There's a monster of addiction. Addiction is the monster. And addiction, And addiction, and then there's the word free will and fentanyl again. Hmm. Freewills got to be popped like a bubble? And then there's the word free will and fentanyl again. Hmm.

Free will's got to be popped like a bubble. Okay. Like addiction has... Addiction has maybe destroyed free will. Yeah. For fentanyl. Yeah. Very specific, I think, as well. Probably not for any reason. Let's read on.

This is from the LA Times. Quote, this is them quoting Scott Adams. This is so fucked up. When a young male, let's say 14 to 19, is a danger to himself and others, society gives the supporting family two options, he continued. Number one, watch people die. Number two, kill your own son. Those are your only options.

So, um, and this is in relation to the, um, and this is in relation to the, um, um, the twee. And this is in relation to the, um, one of the numerous mass shootings that has occurred recently in the states.. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to the to to the to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the to to to to to to to to the to the the to the the the the the the the the the to the the to the to the 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 th th thi thi thi thin thin thin than than than than than thin than than than thin than than than than thi thi thi thi thi th is in relation to the one of the numerous mass shootings that has occurred recently in the states. He continues for some reason. I chose number one and watched my stepson die. I was relieved he took no one else with him. I'm glad my stepson's dead. Yeah, after people replied to him saying, hey, what the fuck? Hey, what was that? Real quick.

Why did you tweet that? Why did you go over that again? He hits back. Quote, if one more person hallucinates to me about some program, in scare quotes, where teens are kidnapped and, and, the happy parents, I might explode. No no th no th no such th no such tha no such thatheir happy parents, I might explode.

No such thing exists. You have two options, only two. And those two options again are number one. Watch people die, number two, kill your own son. Um, no help is coming. Only death and suffering. It's just me clear. When your son or step son has a drug addiction, your options are to watch

people die, perhaps in a mass shooting, or kill your own son. Or perhaps pick up a large rock and just knock him over the head with it. Over his bed while he's sleeping. Got a cane and able that shit. Adam's emotions appeared to be fueled, appeared to be fueled by his own experience with a stepson whose personality changed after he was involved in a serious bicycle accident when he was 14. He got the bill leak.

He got the bill leak injury. Yeah, you don't want that happening to a old racist cartoonist. But the injury the teen sustained caused him to lose his fear and impulse control, the 65 year old said. Then he became addicted to drugs and nothing else mattered. This is also a man who like proclaims to be like a hypnotist therapist. Why couldn't he fix his stepson? Why couldn't you do the thing with your stepson, buddy? Could have made him come so many times? Oh? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh? Oh. Oh. Oh? Oh. Oh? Oh. Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh. Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh................ Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, the. Oh, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the. the't you do the thing with your stepson, buddy? Could have made him come so many times. Oh, oh. Oh no. Back on Twitter, Adams wrote Wednesday, quote, if I were to invent a solution to the dangerous young man problem, I think it would involve putting them all in one place so they could only hurt

each other, not necessarily in jail, just away from society. Once they're separated from society and drugs, maybe help is possible. So maybe like a place where you put all the people that are addicted to drugs and there's no access to drugs and you like try and rehabilitate them. Maybe you come, I'm just spitballing here, you could come up with like a snappy name for it as well, like... Rehabilitation Center seems like a long, so many souls. No, I'm thinking more like leper colony, you know, that's what that's what it sounds like he's implying, like not jail, just a place away from everyone. Well maybe it's a place where they all go and then then the the the the place the place the place the place the place the place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place place they all they all the place place place place place they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all their their their they all they all they all they all their their their they all their their their their their their they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all they all their they all their their their their place. their their place. their place. 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 there and then he each gives them one randomly

assigned weapon and then we just sort of see how it goes. It's funny because he is obliquely describing rehab but he in his mind is 100% describing blood royale. Yeah yeah yeah I was trying to figure out why I had to explain leprosy to one of my kids recently and it's because we were watching the John John Carpenter movie The Fog. Oh fuck 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. I I I I I I th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I th. I th. I th. I th. Yeah. Yeah. I th. Yeah. I th. Yeah. I th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I I th.

I th. explain leprosy to one of my kids recently and it's because we were watching the John Carpenter movie The Fog. Oh fuck yeah. Nice. She spent the whole time going when do I get to see the lepros? When? That movie rules so much. Okay so that's Scott Adams. Um. I don't know. Yeah, he's one of the people that make my brain itch. Just a normal brain. Yeah.

He really did tweet that. He really tweeted, I'm glad my stepson's dead. Maybe I should have killed him. Maybe I should have killed him, yeah. So he didn't take anyone else to do it for you. You know, yep. take anyone else but luckily he died so. Can't expect anyone else to do it for you. Yeah. Yeah.

Um, all right, so. Well, look, that's not very funny. So we should probably continue that trend and finish with a segment that does not include any jokes. No jokes whatsoever. Completely. There were some and we stripped them out in jokes whatsoever. Completely, there were some and we stripped them out in the peer review. We got some feedback. We absolutely had some listeners write in and say, look you guys you guys started off not doing

any jokes in this segment but I think that you have stopped respecting that rule. And we've taken that on board and we've right to do it. Someone needs to hold us accountable. Someone's got to do it. God, it's not going to be us. So it's time for the shipping report. I'm itching for another edition of the shipping report. Can't believe we're finishing with the shipping report. The general cargo ship, Victoria B, ran a ground south of Hunderstead, Denmark while travelling from Poland to Frederickswerk. No jokes, Ben.

Come on now. Is Poland, I thought Poland was landlocked. I think they have rivers. Like they have other bodies of water. It's not a dry country. I know it's not landlocked. What the fuck? Isn't it? I thought it was down there where, like the Czech Republic was. It's up there. It's kissing, it's kissing the Baltic. Oh. Folks, we love learning on this show. I love it. I love to learn.

The ferry Trans-Aja One caught fire in Cebu City in the Philippines. No deaths. No deaths. No, if you've heard it, there are no deaths. The product tanker Angel 33 was reported abandoned and adrift some 400 nautical miles northeast of eastern Papua New Guinea. That is a fucking anime arse name. Yeah that is an evangelicalian name and set up. Yeah. The product tanker Baccaratsu tensi. The LGBT tanker, hmm, not a joke. The LBG tanker, C-speed suffered a minor collision with a peer while birthing at YPF Chacabuco gas terminal in San Lorenzo, Argentina. Great name, C-Speed, very good.

I'm on the C-Speed diet, try and get MDMA, but it's fucking Priestan. Theo, stop. Have some respect for our listeners, please. The Suez Max crude oil tanker, Advantage Summer, suffered an engine room fire in the Strait of Gibraltar. That's a great. It's unfortunate. Great joy of a name though. Advantage Summer, yeah. The General Cargo Ship, Wilson Blyth ran a ground in the River Clyde, while sailing upstream to Glasgow. It was British name of ship it's ever had. You can't put a ship in a river.

It's crazy. It's crazy what you're talking about. Get it out of there. Fire broke out on the tanker Antares while docked at Puerto Bolivar, Colombia. The Reefer, this type of boat, I guess. Magdeburg struck the anchored product tanker Leninift 2031 in Siberia. Cool man. And lastly, are you receiving some Morse code messages, Lucy? I think my boyfriend's using the Air Friar.

I'm sorry. Oh, Jesus Christ. It's really, sorry, in the shipping report, that's boyfriend's shirt. Using the Air Friar, Boyfriend Shirt. Lastly, the cruise ship, Ocean Atlantic suffered a whole breach in Arctic waters. Lazy name. Yeah. I think it's part of a fleet of cruise ship. suffered a hull breach in Arctic waters. Lazy name. Yeah. I think it's part of a fleet of cruise ship,

so they all, I think, have like themed names. Oh, I hate that. So I assume there's a, you know, an Ocean Pacific and some shit, probably. And that concludes the shipping report for this week, and I think it constitutes an episode of the podcast Bunt of Vista. See you next time everybody. Bye. you know the tp.
