Welcome to Buntavista, episode 258. My name is Andrew and I'm here at the world's worst restaurant where I will be your humble host for the evening. It's great to have you and I don't particularly care if you have a pleasant meal or not. The chances aren't great if I'm being honest with you. Looking up your reservation I can see that we've made 45 bookings for 8pm, despite having only 15 tables. Let me see here, I believe you said your name was Ben. Now Ben, before I seat you, do you have any dietary requirements or fears that I should be aware of?

I'm very easily startled by loud noises and I'm deathly allergic to eggs and most nuts. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I won't be running any of that down. I don't have a pen, we have no notebook budget. And I'm really not interested in catering to your pathetic needs. As we make our way to your table, where one chair is just outside the men's bathroom door and we'll keep, which will keep hitting the occupant in the back every time the door is opened. And the other chair is somehow inside the bathroom itself. Let me take you through our specials for the evening. First up, we have cold, raw blobfish served in an aspic. It really should be cooked, but we haven't got that part figured out yet.

Next we have a summer salad that is mainly composed of the underside of our air conditioning unit out the back. It is served with a gelatinous dressing of a color that cannot be described and all of the staff are too scared to taste it. Finally we have a goat's cheese and rocket pizza that's sold out. Oh let me just stop here and check with one of our patrons. Let's see. How are you going, Mr. Theo? It looks like you still haven't received your hot avocado chowder and you wanted it at lunchtime? No, yeah, and look I'm not, I do have blood sugar issue.

What I was wondering was, do you have a key for the toilet? For you? Yeah. No. I mean, like, is that a customer toilet or is that? That's a toilet? Do you need a special toilet or is that? That's a toilet. Who are those people? Do you need a special toilet? No, no, I need any toilet and I need it pretty soon actually. Hmm, could you like maybe do you want to stand up and announce to the restaurant

what you're planning to do in the toilet? No, I don't want to do that. I just want to go to it. Well that sounds sounds sounds pretty that sounds that sounds that sounds that sounds that sounds that sounds that sounds that sounds that s sounds to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooomeuioilet.s. toiletoilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. toilet. tooilet. tooilet. I'll check in on the chowder as we are as we come past the kitchen. Oh what a treat! We can peer in here and see our infamous chef Lucy preparing some of our rare otherworldly ingredients. Oh she seems to have dropped a handful of extremely overcooked linguiney onto the surprisingly hairy floor but not to worry. She's lovingly licking her fingers before wiping off each individual strand. How goes it, chef? I mean, that's how you know it's cooked, right?

You throw the pasta at the floor and if it sticks, then it's cooked. Did you go to culinary school? Hearing a lot of criticism. No idea. See you on the menu. You guys describe your liine as el hirswut. Yeah, it's just like al d'Alde.

Yeah, to the hair. To the hair. That's right. The 100 folds in his chef's hat actually symbolized knowing all 100 surfaces that linguini will stick to. Oh my goodness. I mean, like she's multi-tasking, which women are great out. She's pushing the linguini around on the floor a bit, which helps to clean a very small patch

of the extremely filthy floor. And it is filthy. Well yeah, but like that's not where we're eating the food. That's where we pick the food up from before serving it to the customers. That's right. Uh, to work in a restaurant. He's good. I saw a clip from that new TV show, the bear? Is that what it's called? Yeah, I keep, it's about the insanely hot that the today. Is that what it's called?

Yeah, I keep, that's about the insanely hot that thi. Is he insanely hot? Yeah. I haven't seen it. insanely hot guy who works in a kitchen. Is he insanely hot? Yeah. I haven't seen it. I just keep saying it's a man with some cool tattoos wearing like a tight white shirt in a kitchen he looks, he looks nice with it. That's the only thing I know about the show.

I was only introduced to it because Maddie Matheson, who I like was was spruking it on some of his YouTube videos because he's On the show and also is a Consulting producer for the show So I saw a clip of it where it was just everybody in the back of the kitchen just Screaming at each other for like two minutes That sounds normal, right? The whole time the little the little ticket printer is just zipping out new orders while they're not getting anything out the thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the thi the they're the the the the tho the the the the the the the the the they's they's they's they's they're they're they's they's they's they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're not they're not they're not getting they're not getting they're not getting they're not getting they're not getting that that that that that that that that that that that that that the. that the. that that the that that they're not not not they're not they're not they The whole time, the little ticket printer is just zipping out new orders while they're

not getting anything out from the kitchen. And what about the bear? Is he cooking or eating? the bear? the restaurant, buy bears. You know what? Bursch it, four bears. You know what?

Yes, and this. We can do a little bit of improvised comedy here quick Okay here fuck now, you know what ditch it. It's a whole idea Forget it forget it forget Don't go out. Trash. Yeah, we tried improv. None of us are trained for this. We're not trained for this. We haven't gone to improv school, which is what I understand that you have to do if you want to do. Anyone can just do improv? No. You need your license, you know? Need to be an accredited improv artist. I mean there's levels, which is the funniest thing. They're like, oh you're only level one? No, improv is too high level for you. You need to be a level four improviser to get on board with this Harold style of improv. Yeah, and you just improvise that name there as well. I think

it's real. I listen to a lot of alternative comedy podcast and trick myself into thinking that I know a lot about how comedy works. Boy having some improv skills sure would help if you were in a sort of interactive dining experience. Why don't we... You just fucking fart? Do you just lift your cheeks up? To do a little fart. I don't think this is an audio medium. I think the tape will show that you did. I can boost the gate on the

fart is happening in an audio medium. Yeah. Because we all heard it. You can see when you tilt a little bit. No, you can't. It's so disrespectful to if anyone reckons them. Got that in there. I'm sorry for complaining about the fart. Complaining, that's something that Karen's do.

It's time for Karen Watch. Now this is a follow-up to the one or more times that we have talked about the concept of, Karen's Diner, which is a sort of dinner and a show style restaurant where they serve a diner style food, but get this, the service is bad and the people that work there are rude, which sounds... I can't wait! Like a whole lot of fun if you don't have the personality of any of the people on this podcast. I just want to reiterate how much 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th is is is is is is is is is is is is is is th is is is th is is is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is a th is a th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to thi to thi to to to thi to to thi to to thi thi to thin to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi don't have the personality of any of the people on this podcast. I just want to reiterate how much I hate this. Yeah.

And how much this is the worst piece of shit that sucks more than anything in the world and I hate it. And the way that they sell it, I think is sort of, um, a treating the symptom not the cause approach to society, which is the way the way the way the way th they th 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 thi tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that threating the symptom not the cause approach to society, which is the way they sell it to customers is, hey, do you want to be able to be rude back to staff, which is fucked up? You shouldn't want to do that. And the way they sell it to prospective staff is, hey, do you want to be rude to you? Which is fucked up. Ideally no one's rude to anyone. We're all nice to each other. That's my ideal dining scenario. Yeah, nobody's rude to me and I'm very polite to them.

We have a great time, collectively. But I get that there are people that aren't us that would enjoy. Like there's there's play involved, not in the swinger sense of the word, but in the like, you know, who can you imagine you imagine you imagine 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 that that that thathe thate thathe that is thateateateateate. thate. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th? Like who can you imagine in your life that wants to go to Karen's diner? I would have excised them from my life if they had expressed a desire to go to Karen's diner. I see I can't imagine someone in my life going to this place. That's my nightmare that someone takes me there. I'm trying to picture thrown. I'm thrown, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is it, is, is it, yeah, is it, is it, their their their their their their their their, their, their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thi. thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thiii. I's thii. thiii. I's thiii. I's thii. It's too rude. We're going to find that out. And the way we're going to find that out is exploring reviews of Karen's locations across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I think the Perth one is yet to open, so I couldn't do that.

It's wild that there's more than one. They've expanded because it's so popular. It's one in Sheffield and I think one in Manchester as well in the United Kingdom, but I didn't want to muddy the waters with the silliness of the English. I think we should focus on the Australian locations. I want to preface this by saying, as someone who works in hospitality, I treat most one or two star reviews with a grain of salt. They're generally left by psychos, but you know, I would say that.

So maybe we don't have to take everything that we're about to hear as being gospel truth, or that they necessarily aren't a psycho, but you might know. We might ask ourselves if a patent form. You might see some trends. Yeah, that's sort of what I think we might see here. I'm going to start with a short review from the Brisbane location. Food was good. I knew the staff were going to be rude, which is the theme, but attacking someone's appearance I feel is extremely inappropriate. I'll not be back. Okay, so not, which is something that we sort of predicted. I don't know, they'd be rude to me.

Yeah. I never thought it would happen to me. We were talking about this when we first discussed the idea of like trying to, you can imagine people who are sort of on the spot trying to figure out what the boundaries are and maybe not. Yeah, and just being like, you look like shit, man. Yeah, yeah. Your wife's a cunt. Good point, you're ugly, and I wish you were dead. I, uh, I feel like me and Elna were talking about this a little while ago, and I was saying that I thought it would be funny to cop the first insult and immediately

stand up and square up to the waitress. What the fuck did you just say? This is another review from the Brisbane location. Please don't insult people with really short heights. A waitress there broke a rule and went too far with body image. Never going back because this brought back terrible childhood memories about being bullied about my height. Oh my God, why did you go there? Why did you go? Yeah, if you were short you shouldn't have gone to the restaurant. I don't like being

bullied by anyone that's not a hot woman, you know, so I'm not going here. This is another one from the Brisbane location. Wouldn't recommend one of our cups had lipstick left on it and when bringing the food to the table the waitress made a joke about our meals and said that the girls ordering them were the ones with eating disorders. It's just not a it's not like a fun thing to joke about I think if you're working in food service. So Ben on the previous review they said a waitress there broke a rule and went too far with body image I'm interested in that is the rules. That is right. I want the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. On their. On their. On their. On their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the image. I'm interested in that. Is there rules? I want to know the parameters. There is a sign at the front of each of these locations that I think says that you're not allowed to make jokes about people's appearances or along the lines of I think making jokes

about gender or, you know, sexuality or things of that nature. And I think sometimes people struggle with those a little bit. Here's another one. This is from the Melbourne location. Awful, awful place. Average food, terrible atmosphere. They made fun of my skin pigmentation condition. Oh.

What's on the table if you can't make fun of someone's appearance? Where are you going? I think you could make fun of someone for having a loud shirt. I think, yeah. Or it's just a guy comes in like. This is a fundamental problem with the restaurant because like you can't really give every waitress 10 or 15 minutes to get to know you and try to establish defects in your character. Yeah, yeah you can't wait for someone to let slip that they got an art history degree and be like, uh, how's that working out for you, pal? You kind of just have to be like, why

do your ears look like that? Here's another one from the Melbourne location. Expected some Karen behavior, but did not expect racism from employees and food was me. Playing devil's advocate. Yeah, do you think that's written by a wide person? At this point. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's a fun new. This person did equate racism with average food. They sort of delivered those two things sequentially as if they were. Like racism, I can tolerate, but the food being bad. Underdone fries, it has to stop.

So hang on, so the rules on the, so you've got to read the rules as you go in to say, okay, so you're not allowed to make fun of the waitresses' appearance, and they're supposed to abide by these these these these these these these these these these these rules these rules these rules these rules these these rules these rules these rules these rules these rules these rules these rules these rules the rules the rules the rules the rules the rules the rules the rules the rules as the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, 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, th... to, th. the. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. tooooooeses, toea, tooes, to, to, to, to, to, appearance and they're supposed to abide by these rules as well but they're not? It's mutual. It's a mutual, well supposedly it's a mutual arrangement where you both have to be respectful in this sort of interplay of you know, you know, okay. And the waitresses are clearly, the induction process is failing. I think they're being to all the rules. I think. And this is just conjecture on my part but I think having having to to to to to thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, suu, supposedly, sui. Sui. Sui. Sui. Sui. Sui, sui. Sui. Sui, sui, sui. Well, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly're being to all the rules. I think. And this is just conjecture on my part, but I think having to do this for like eight hour shifts, you know, one to five days a week, you probably, and you know, you're working hospitality. It can be very, very stressful sometimes. You're probably being a waitress. You're still making, you're still doing the work, you know. It's hard to, I don't still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still you don't you don't you you're you're still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still you. I don't you. I don't you. You're still. You're still. You're just still. You're just still doing. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still. You're still.

You're. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to the the the work, you know? It's hard to, I don't think you're going to nail it every time. I do wonder though, there's obviously like, in my mind anyway, there's a fundamental

difference between kind of rudeness and bad service versus I must insult the people at this table during each interaction. Because... It's real, I think you should leave stuff. It's really like, somewhere our wires are getting crossed you. I'm saying that you're an ugly piece of shit and you're mad at me. You're getting mad? Here's another one. This is from the Brisbane location again. My mom and I booked lunch here for my birthday and it was horrible. We went into the experience understanding that they were meant to be to be to be to be to be to be 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 thears thears thears thears thiars thiars their thiarsearsearsearsearsearsheirs. their their their their their their theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. theirirs. the Brisbane location again. My mom and I booked lunch here for my birthday and it was horrible.

We went into the experience understanding that they were meant to be rude, however right off the bat they went too far. There's a sign that says no body image comments and they did exactly that to my mom. As it were being seated, my mom took her time observing the place which caused a server to scream to scream at, the s s s s s dickhead, multiple times. I understand they're meant to be rude, but with the comments about looks and the anxiety of being screamed at, we felt like the staff crossed a line. On top of that, the food prices were a little pricey, and we didn't realize that there was a 10% surcharge on Sundays and public holidays.

Mum was so anxious to leave, she ended up literally jumping the back fence because she was too scared to walk back past all the stuff. I'm sure for some people this would have been a great experience. I'm just appalled they body shamed right after we read the rules. Of course, you're not going to think the experience is funny after that. Nothing like forcing your middle-aged mother to clamber over a fence to know you've had a good night out. You's gonna be so fun, mum. You're gonna love that. Get me out of here. This is another one for the prison location. It was okay, but a tad below the belt. Like telling an old lady to break her hips because she couldn't afford to give you a tip is a tad below.

I think there is a funnier way to be a the Well maybe you should work there if you can do better you know. Easy from the chapsets. There's so that sometimes that are a little bit too rude is a trend we might have noticed here and they don't seem to pull their punches as to who this is directed to warides. So this is from the Sydney location. I went here to knowing the expectations that the waiters would be rude. But seriously it was it was th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi's the thi's their thi's their their their their their their the from their 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 th. their their th. their their their their their their their their the. the. the. the. theat. theat. theat. theat. teat. teat. tipeat. tipeat. tipe. theat. theat. theat. the. they're they knowing the expectations that the waiters would be rude. But seriously it was too much. It was funny at first but then they wouldn't stop. They wouldn't leave you alone to actually eat. They just kept coming back. Also don't recommend for children under 10. The level of swearing was high and the kids don't understand the concept. Oh my son was crying from fear from how we were greeted. Oh my god. Why did you take it the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their th. th. their th. th. th. their th. their to be th. th. th. th. to be to be th. to be to be to be to be to be to be th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I think it would have been more funny being an actual Karen than being rude.

I was insulted about my weight, my skin, and my name. I truly believe they've gone overboard and not even being funny. I definitely would not go back. This is again from Brisbane. What an awful experience. Food was horrendous, excessive use of F words and way over the top. You can be rude and tactful at the same time. You swore it my 10-year-old son, never again.

I think I want to work here. I'm so conflicted. I feel like there's a lot of people getting exactly what they paid for here. Yeah, exactly. It's what you paid for. You took to to to their their their their. their. their their. their their their their their their their their their to their their to their their to to call. their to call. to call. to call to call their their to call to call. to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. to. to. to. to. for here.

This is another review from the Sydney location. Ooh, truly astonishing number of Ws in that I'm not willing to represent them all. Place is disgusting.

You're saying I'm cherry picking reviews to suit the narrative by already formed in my mind. He's cherry picking one star reviews, I should just have a quick look at the five star reviews. Yes, and see what

people think. You're going to hear both sides, baby, yeah, let's do it. So this is a five-star review. This is sorting the reviews on Google from highest to lowest, five-star reviews. Irene says, it was supposed to be a surprise dinner, but I was given the venue and checked out the place. It was a hoot walked in and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all and all the and all the the the the the the theiran and all theiranan and all theiranne. theiraned. th. th. th.

Would not recommend for families bringing the young children their their their their their their their their their their their young children there. Some kids aren't meant to be exposed to such banter. We saw one child in tears, but others loved it. And then the very next five-star review, the very next five-star review says,

hilarious experience, we had no idea how interactive with this restaurant would be. Right from entering, we were treated horribly. And a massive heads up, these girls do not hold back. If you're sensitive the tho one one one one one one one one one one one one one one th. We th. We th. We th. We are th. We th. We are th. We are th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to the. We'll to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to would be. Right from entering, we were treated horribly. And a massive heads up, these girls do not hold back. If you're sensitive, offended by lewdness of bad language, stay away. Probably best not to bring kids here either. Even the good reviews are like, they are screaming at children. Their website says, like, bring in kids but before the dinner service, so like the daytime's, actually I'll let somebody else explain this. This is from the Melbourne, the Melbourne, the Melbourne, the Melbourne, like the Melbourne, like the Melbourne, like the Melbourne, like the Melbourne, 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, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th daytime's meant actually I'll let somebody else explain this this is from the Melbourne location we went for lunch to the Melb venue with our 12 year old daughter and some of her friends the girls had seen it on Tick-Tock and thought it would be fun according to the website kids

but it's advised to bring them for lunch not dinner as it is more tame and appropriate for kids well it was not. The kids were abused verbally to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to their their. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. as it is more tame and appropriate for kids. Well it was not. The kids were abused verbally to their face, shouted at, told to shut the F up. I ask them to please not swear as them as they are kids, and they said, we don't care. I get that it is the premise of the diet to be rude, but I do think there is a line. They're also quite strict, also not allowing the kids to move out of their seats at all, as they have a liquor license? Not sure what that has to do with anything. That's not anything.

No, they're just having fun with this. Yeah. This is an ideal job if you were just completely unbearable. But honestly, if you want completely unbearable, but honestly If you want to just like scream at children all day and be racist Pretty cool, and you don't want to buy a blue ready microphone Check out working for Karen's diner The food itself was very very average even the kids complained it wasn't great when we were leaving and Proceeded to pay we weren't given a receipt we were then told that we hadn't paid and weren't allowed to leave to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. I I. their. their. toe. their toe. toe. te. te. tea. tea. their tea. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the kids complained it wasn't great. When we were leaving and proceeded to pay, we weren't given a receipt. We were then told that we hadn't paid and weren't allowed to leave. I showed the manager our receipt on our banking app and he wouldn't actually let

us leave and threatened to charge our account for a second time and call the police. It was horrendous, not funny. They were not funny or fun. They didn't know when to stop and when enough was enough. They took it too far and it bought it on aggressive would never go back. Yeah, I don't know, bad. I have this. You can't say whether it's good or that. Who's to say? This is from Brisbane. Raw chicken, overpriced for quality of food.

I understand the concept of the Karen idea. However, however, however, however, however, however, however, however, however, however, how, the th, th and th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiole. thoom. tho, tho, thi. thi. thi. tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, of food. I understand the concept of the Karen idea, however, making personal derogatory comments on someone's appearance is not acceptable, nor is throwing the menus at our table, which was funny until one hit a young girl, bracket's child, in the head on the next table. I don't recommend. It would, uh, it would, it would, I'm gonna go back to it and maintain that it would be very funny to attend this place and then get into a fistfight with the stuff. Yeah, 100%.

You're like, what? You fucking what? Did you call my kid? Uh, this is for Brisbane again. Quite distressing when you called a dumb fuck the whole time. And when your son is called a fuck boy. Oh my god. You need to be able to tolerate a lot of swearing. Definitely not a place for anyone under 18. Food is average. Unbelievably, yeah, calling like a 70 year old kid like a fuck boy is.

God. This is another one from Brisbane. Great thick shakes! Not entirely sure about the burgers though, and didn't think the placing of brown paper bags over people's head, not only my table, other tables, was totally fun. And I'm not just saying this because I'm a Karen. What the fuck are you doing? Why are you placing... I've flipped on this.

This is awesome. Me too. This, this, this, this, this, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th is, th is, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thus, thus, thus, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi, this. This is awesome. Me too. This this actually, this rules in that They've done the impossible and just become like way more inhospitable than you could ever expect. They did a soft Abu Ghraib on my extended family. I just, just a place to go to like have karmic retribution inflicted upon you and your eight-year-old son for ever going to a place like this. Ever thinking the concept of parents would be funny? Yeah. And just like, no, I'm on board with this. Granted, I'm not a target for racism and probably leave that one at the door. But, I don't know, I just so, like, I, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm on board with this. Granted, I'm not a target for racism and probably leave that one at the door, but...

I don't know, just so... like, you go in and it's just the fucking meat grinder. It's just like the Verdun of psychological warfare. I'm picturing you there. Who was it for? It's for us? Yeah. To read what you want. What did you want? What kind did you want? What kind did you want? Oh, I wanted them to be rude, but in a way that was like sort of not rude. I think though on a fundamental level though, like Ben was saying earlier, I kind of, I get the sense

from the thing right, is that what they, like the idea is that you are given a license to complain and be rude and the insulation against that is that they will be like, we don't give a fuck if you want to speak to the manager, right? So like, the idea is that it's meant to be this tip-for-tat kind of thing, but all these people are going in like, oh, it's like, it's like a theater restaurant. It's like Dracks, you know? It's like Dracula's, it's like a dinner theater. So familiar with Dracula's that you call it, Drax? For a second there, I was trying to remember if it was called Draxthat Dracula's was a victim of the pandemic. No, I think Dracula's on the gold, so this is real, this is something Frid or good home covers mostly, this is their beat and I don't want to impose on that.

But I think Dragoals on the Gold Coast is still going. It is. Yeah. I think the Melbourne one had pandemic problems, but maybe it's back on. So yeah, I get the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the sense the the 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. that. that. that. that. that. that. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I that. I's that. I's that. I's that. that. that's that. 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's. the. theathe. that's.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. I.a. I. I. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. So yeah, I get the sense that maybe the concept is, the fact that the staff are rude gives you the license to be rude. And you get to go in and have this cathartic being rude experience, and you guys can all yell at each other,

and it's fine, and it's a laugh for everyone. But people are just going in like it's a restaurant, and they're getting one way their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to their to their., their., their., their., their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their license.. their license. their license. their license. ta ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. t shit. Yeah, if they wanted to do this properly, the staff should have to bring it there five-year-old so that you're a little piece of shit. Oh, you work at this job to feed your fucking ugly son? I think there's a there's a concept, there's like a problem with the concept here, or not a problem with the concept. Oh, oh, oh, or, or not, or, or, or, but, but, but, but, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, or, oh, oh, or, 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, a, a, so, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a. the, a. the, a. the, a. the, a. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. tip for tat. But it's like if they opened the Colosseum and we're like, oh yeah, and we're just letting foot traffic in. Like, what's the lion doing? Hey!

I'll go toe toe with, fuck, ear bite of the merciless. The lion fights at the Colossem also had street advertising that just said we sell burgers. Yeah, we like walk past you go, oh we should go in. Yeah, and there's also a sign on that sign it also says no lions. You go in, bam, immediately mauled to death. I promise you there will be no lion fights. They're laughing the whole time. Like you know how a you know how countries establish like non-aggression pacts? I feel like this is you're establishing an aggression pact you know like but it kind of I feel like it doesn't what we're seeing from the reviews is it doesn't work when you just go in and try to order food need it

without calling the waitresses as stupid bitches or whatever. Yeah. My goodness. Here's another one this is from the waitresses as stupid bitches or whatever. Yeah. My goodness. Here's another one. This is from the Sydney location. I was enjoying the gimmick of the place and having a laugh, but when your staff member threatened to pour a drink all over me, I told her numerous times that that's where I draw the line and to not do it. That's so funny drawing a line and them just not respecting it. Yeah. Like oh no, no, you can't be rude like that. I feel like this place maybe needs a safe word system. Yeah. Yeah. Because like if they might think that you in character being like, you know that you, it's

unclear. You don't know whether someone's being a dick on purpose or not, it's it's muddied. You need to be to be able to be like sassifress and the drink and they they they they they they they the drink. And they they the drink. They they the drink. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. the. to. to to to to to to to to like, sassafras, and that they won't pour the drink on you. They give you, when you walk in, they give you one flare gun for the table. When you've had enough. Uh, didn't appreciate walking out soaked? Sadly, the staff think they can do anything, get away with it. Even when you're being serious about it. Didn't know my burger would come with a side of assault.

I'd be throwing a chair. If someone tipped an entire Coca-Cola over me? Yeah. I'd be so fucking furious. Well, you get covered in ants. Although, although I am the person who's always saying, you know, if we're like watching a romantic comedy and there's a montage of two people falling in love and they're painting a house today, like together and one of them puts a paint roller down the other

one's back, and I always see that and go, that's not funny. That's my shirt. You fucking ruined my shirt. thucked. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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. It's, thu. It's, thu. It's, thu. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. th. th. It's, th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, th. It's, th. It's, that. that that that thu. thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu. thu. thu. th fucked it up, yeah. I have to imagine that like Jennifer Lopez is bathing in acetone afterwards to try and get all that shit off. But in this case, it's like, yeah, if you pour a full sugar coke over my head, I'm causing a ruckus in this restaurant. He's standing up and you're going, what? What the fuck? Here's another one from the Brisbane location. The food was okay, an okay service, but not to the point where they were throwing cups at you.

I asked a simple question to the guy at the front counter before paying, and then the guy made me and my friend tip him $10 because I asked a question and wouldn't take it no for an answer. Which I thought was a bit rude. Now, that- Did you give it to him? Did you give him the 10 bucks? Did you... Did you pay the wallet inspector? Now, it's interesting. This is not a one-off phenomenon. This is from the Brisbane location. Food was awful, messed up our orders with another table.

One way to offer a discount, but a different discount was applied at checkout. They bully th the the even when the service is garbage. This is from the Sydney location. Went here with my mates. We understood the gimmick and love the idea of this place. We were all practically forced to give a $20 tip each. The servers don't understand boundaries including the simple word no. Not come here again. Again. I'd be... Super funny. They're just bullying you into money. I would be fistfighting the guy behind the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. No th. No th. No the th. No th. No the th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. C. C. S. C. C. S. C. C. S. S. C. S. C. S. C. S. I. I. S. C. I. S. S. I. C. S. S. C. money. I would be fistfighting the guy behind the register. Here's another one from this Sydney location.

The experience was great, but the food is average and was not happy. Felt as I was practically forced into giving a $20 tip, which is in good practice as you should only tip if you feel like it. So maybe rethink this practice. This is not confined to the Sydney location. This is from Brisbane. We were overcharged at the front. We did not give permission for tips to be taken either. We'd like to be contacted by the manager actually. For real.

Oh, would you? Oh, would you? Well, that's... Actually, I'll read out this last one and then I'll get into that. This is back to the Sydney location. I was really excited to check this out. Half our meals came out super quick, the other half came out an hour later, and one of the items was not what we ordered. But by this stage we were just over it and couldn't be bothered sending it back.

To top it off, they charged for like the first couple of weeks they were open, they were trying to respond to their bad reviews in character, where they're like, you're just a Karen, or you're just a basic white male bitch or whatever, and like they were trying to have fun with it, even though most of the bad reviews, which were the ones ones, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,rying to have fun with it, even though most of the bad reviews, which were the ones that I left out of this, were that just the food is very bad and they were genuinely very bad at giving it to you. But with every single one of these, we were forced to give a good tip ones, the responses are just, can you please send us an email at trying to do it in character outside of the context of the restaurant. That's not working anymore. I, I, I went Karen yesterday.

Oh no. Did you? I caroned out on somebody, right? I don't know if I was talking recently about the saga of our car imploding and us having to buy a new car, right? I was really worried this was going to be a third story about a pizza ordering experience. And so our car was just sitting there at a service center that had looked at it for us and declared it to cost one billion dollars to fix. And it had been there for a while and so and so wife of the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their of are of are of are of are of are of are their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their are their are their are their are their are their are their are their are their their their their their their their their their their their tod toda toy are today are today are today are toy today are to today are today are to today are today are today are today are their at it for us and declared it to cost one billion dollars to fix. And it had been there for a while and so wife of the

show my wife Elna had called the first place that she'd Googled that will pick up a car and give you money for it and they said that and she said can you pick up our car from this place and they went yes and they turned up. And somebody phoned her and said, hey, just give me your payment details and we will give you $500 for your car that you paid much more than $500 for several years ago. And she said, okay. And they towed the car away. Several weeks go by. She has then called them up. Nobody ever answers the phone. You call, it rings out and then someone immediately sends you a message and says, hey you

need a car picked up? Mm-hmm. I think you can probably see where this is going, right? And she says, hey you picked up a car a couple of weeks ago, you're meant to transfer as $500 and they said, oh yeah, I'll look into that. Just send me your details. She was sending them to the details. Several more weeks go by. Nothing happens. And she's like, yeah, I don't know what to do about this.

It's kind of making me feel stressed out. And I look up this place, Google reviews reviews. all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, their their their their their their their, and their their their, and their their, and then, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and then, and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tie. tie. te. tea. tea, tea, tea, their tea, their their their their their their their their their-star reviews are, these people basically steal your car? They tow your car and they take your payment details and then nothing happens and then you contact them and then they block your number. And you basically have to file a police report to get any money out of them. And so I called this number yesterday that my wife had and rings out and then I immediately get a number saying, hey you need a car towed? And I say, oh I just want to know about getting payment for this car that you towed like a month

ago. And they go, oh, oh yeah, oh we're so short staffed at the moment. All my staff have COVID. I don't know what's going on with the person who organizes the payments. And I said, please pay me my money right now. Or I will need to file a police report in the morning about my stolen car.

And they go, all right, I've paid your money. There it is. That's no point did you have to go to Miter 10 and buy a hammer and go and find where. That's not carrying. Like you're getting scammed. Oh well like after reading review after review after review going I have spent seven months hassling this person and not getting my money for it. I went all right I'm just going to pretend like I'm gonna go to the police. Side note. 99% of threats people make to be like, I'm going to fair trading, or I'm going to the A-triple-C, or I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take this matter of the police.

No one's fucking doing it. It's just a thing you say. Yeah. Oh, like, so I sent do about this? And I called my local police station. And somebody picked up and they said, hey, what's up? What's up? Said a cop. And I went, hey, I'm trying to figure out what I can do in this situation. Somebody towed our car.

They meant to send us money, but now they're like off the grid. And this person is immediately and very quickly. And in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in the the way, and the way, and their their their their, th, thi th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoed, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi.... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toean, toean, toean, toean, thi. thi. thean. their, their, their, their, thi. the like off the grid, you know. And this person is immediately and very quickly and in an almost rehearsed way said, oh, if you entered in an agreement with this person and they didn't give you the money, that's like a civil matter and you have to take them to court. Which is true, I think of almost everything that can happen to you, is that the cops can't do shit. Yeah, 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 the cops. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. that's that's that's that's thoops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. the cops. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's. That's. That's. That's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's that's that's that's th. that's that's th. th. th. the cops can's the cops can's the just, I think a lot of the time there's a big overlap between the cops can't do shit and the cops won't do shit. I mean the same

thing. Yes, they do. For all of us at home, they mean the same thing. I said, oh, well, they kind of, they just, and she was like, let me stop you're there. That's a civil matter. You're going to need to get legal representation and take them to court. And I was like- You're going to have to shut the fuck up and stop talking. First of all. And I was like immediately, to your point Ben, I was like immediately, oh well that's way further than I'm willing to go with this, you know, for 500 for $ $ $ $ $ $. But then five minutes later this person has sent me a message saying, I have transferred the money to you. Here is the receipt.

So they haven't learned the useful lesson that the cops are useless and that they could be scamming twice as hard. I guess so, although it did make me think, I wonder if you mess this person once a month from a different phone number and said, you stole all of my car. Send me $500. If they would just go be like, okay, I take your word for it. Yeah, I guess we forgot about that one shit, yeah. There's a general lesson there as well.

If you are trying to find a common service people need generally at short notice that is mostly done by subcontractors, so things like cleaning or gardening or waste removal or anything, don't go with any of the first 10 Google results. Google doesn't work anymore. I've tried to explain this to my mom. It doesn't work anymore. Yeah. The only companies that know how to do SEO are the ones that are like, it's two to my mom. It doesn't work anymore. Yeah. The only companies that know how to do SEO are the ones that are like, it's two tech guys with one guy who operates the phones and they manage a fleet of a million underpaid subcontractors whose only way to actually make money on the shit deal they're getting is ripping you off.

I thought the lesson of this was only trust your fists, the cops can't help you. That's also true. Only trust your mitre ten hammer. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah this person like messaged me back to say oh that's crazy, send me your details and I will look into it. To which I said, come on man. Come on. You said, hey, look into this and you sent a high-risk photo of your anus. He says, a 140 pixel by 140 pixel image of a hammer.

Folks we got a new segment for you. I believe it's one that Theo proposed a little while ago. Was it you, Theo? I don't know. I'd have to know the segment. But thin's my idea.

But Theo and Lucy did do the first installment of it unsupervised. Oh, thank you so much. I was not aware of that. I don't listen to podcasts. Yeah. Folks, it's time for the second installation of the Tripping Report. I'm like itching for another edition of the Tripping Report. Oh, he's done it again. Sensational. Ben, was that basically exactly what you were imagining? He's done it again. Sensational.

Then was that basically exactly what you were imagining? Yeah it was. I mean it could have been another 20 to 25 minutes longer but otherwise it's perfect. This is of course the segment where we go through Erowid trip report. So this is where people self-describe experiences they have had with various illicit, and well sometimes legal, but just highs that they have managed to achieve or not achieve. Andrew, do you think you could read out this trip report from the Erroid user Kotekolbs. I would fucking love to.

And like you said, there's a lot of substances out there. Mm-hmm. Is there right? Honestly, I can't even count them all on both hands. You know? Absolute dozens of substances on this earth that we live on. And some of them, you've got to go to somebody's house and you have to sit down on their pretty dirty couch for a bit.

If you would like to get a hold of them, you have to kind of act like your friends with the person but you're not really friends, you know? Yeah. Other ones, I think you can kind of order them in bulk from Amazon. Yeah. You want the nerd stuff because it all comes from mail. The stuff where someone tells you, well technically it gets the the the the the the the the the the th th to get it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets it gets to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their the their the their the thooooo. to to to to to to to to to to to the nerd stuff because it all comes from mail. The stuff where someone tells you, well, technically it gets you high. Yeah. And it's legal. I can say, like in my experience, anything that you would require as a technical high is not worth doing.

Technically if you lie down in a dark room and you cut a ping pong ball in half and you put those halves over your eyes, it's technically like tripping. Well I got unbeknownst to me dozed with 2CB years and years ago, which is like a synthetic version of... I think it might actually be Theo's most done drug. I don't know, I don't know about B. I, see I get B and E mixed up. Both of them, a good time. Hmm.

I, that's the thinking, that's the, that's the sativa of the, two C's, it's for when you need to see some, see SpongeBob in cube form rotating faster than you could possibly imagine. I would suggest to you that wait so the difference between a cube form Spongebob and regular SpongeBob is that he's a rectangular prism. Is you just imagining that all of his sides are equal? He's also blue as well I should specify, if that's important to you. Here we go. Imagine now that I'm Errowood user Cody Culp's.

How did your 2CB go? Very badly. Oh, yeah. It just made me feel very ill. Oh dear. Like there was a time that me and a guy boiled up a cactus that he got from somewhere and drank it. And it was gross and it made me feel nauseous. But like I tripped off it.

Whereas the 2CB, I found out that that was what I had taken at some point like, you know, 20 minutes after taking it? Yeah, I want to say? Yeah, that's not a good time. I think it was something else and then just felt really nauseous and unwell for several hours. Look, I'm going to be real with you. It felt like I had mild poisoning. All right, Cody Colb says,

air duster, never again. What's an air duster? Hang on. Hang on, are we talking the shit that you're not familiar with air duster? What we are talking about is an aerosol, like compressed air in a can that you use. Well, people use it like particularly nerds, like they said, this is nerd stuff. It's mainly a product that nerds use for like blowing, so it's compressed air that you blow the dust out of like keyboards and PC cases. Yeah in your rig. Because you don't want, like you can't use a normal vacuum because it's static electricity out the wazoo, etc. So you get a little can, it's full of compressed air.

But also, yeah. Yeah. What else does it do, Andrew? Airster, never again. This is how it all started. Late tonight, just maybe two hours ago, after a great sexual encounter with my girlfriend. All right, okay, buddy.

Uh-huh. And a nice hot shower. I want to what review is going to give the fucking 400-word review of this sexual encounter. After a great sexual encounter with my girlfriend and a nice hot shower I walked to my computer, log on Facebook and check my like page. You know how you do. My G.F. Haley had went back to the washroom to brush her teeths. Why are you talking like this? It sounds like a German in my, this is probably a German.

I mean, this is a guy who is recreationally abusing air duster. Like I wouldn't, you know. His brain worked good. Yeah. Don't hold them to too high of a standard. Now, the next sentence is the most arrow-widd shit to say. Sweet, just enough time to take the last hit of this can without her knowing. Oh buddy. That's some real drug user shit to say. Oh, I thought I would sneak in a quick

taking some drugs. She doesn't even know I'm abusing. AirDuster. Yeah. Yeah. I inhale one nice hit and cycle through another page's picture, also known as memes, as the Wawas kick in. So far I'm getting that sweet euphoric, wavy feeling I always get and go into my dreamlike state. All of a sudden, as I begin to chuckle at a funny picture portraying Patrick Starr with some funny dialogue pasted on the photo,

parentheses, a meme. Now, this is taking a piss. I, come on. This review, so at the start of the review he says that this happened two hours ago when he was writing it. There are two dates on this. Erowid says it was published in 2022 but took place in 2012. So I'm confused as to

whether... You think he's remembering it? Yeah, well he said only two hours ago so I'm not sure but it would make a whole lot of sense if this was in 2012 just based on the likes page and yeah funny meme yeah explaining what a meme is yeah yeah what a meme is. Yeah. Hmm. Who was President 2012, Obama? Ah, JFK? I think it was JFK, yeah. Let me be clear. That was...

Yeah, perfect. What? Yeah, wonderful. Okay. So he's explained the concept of a meme, Patrick Starr with some words. Then it really kicked in. My chest tightened up, my whole life literally flashed before my eyes. Every rotten moment, every good laugh, every holiday, hell, even every shit I've ever taken.

Very strange thing to think about. Hmm. The pictures was rapidly changing back and forth from one to another on the screen. I heard the sound of an old TV shutting off, making that slight 4,000 hertz frequency it always does, but it lasted longer and got more in-depth as it went on. That'd be sick. Fooom. Over that, I swear I heard two godly voices asking.

Are we going to do this? One said, the other responded, Yes, we are. There's no going back now. I was literally scared half to death. Then came the tunnel vision. This is, he's just experiencing minor brain death. I think he's dying.

He's dying. Hey, check out dying for a real trip. This is what... The ultimate trip, bro. Yeah, man, you're talking about Nangs and shit. Yeah, you're talking about Nangs. This whole time I'm just thinking like, just fucking... Just do some Nangs.

Just do some Nangs. Has everywhere just got Nang delivery services now? Yeah. Really? I would say that on Facebook. It's like whipped cream can delivery. For when you're a night catering. If you're an American listener and you don't understand what we mean when we say nangs, too fucking bad. We know all about your shit. Learn something about ours. Read a book. Read a book of culture for once. Read the damn Australian Oxford English Dictionary. The McVeigh... Whatever the fuck. Getting, getting Superstone once and I can't remember when I came into some... yeah, yeah, yeah,

I love weed. Check out smoking weed. And I can't remember how it came into some, yeah, yeah, I love weed. Check out smoking weed. And I can't remember how it happened, but we came into some, I found some nangs, right? You came into some nangs, I inherited some nangs. Thanks. I've come into some nags recently. Only problem is you can't just, you need equipment. You do, you need that, you need that, as Elna used to call it, you need the Nangarator. You need the Nang injectator. I've never done a Nang, is it like an inhaler thing? Oh, fuck, I'm so jealous. Lucy, I'm so jealous

of you right now. I was just, I was talking to a maid of mine recently, and I was like, I'm bummed, I'm.. I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, you, you, I'm that, you, you, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you need that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, now. I was just, I was talking to a maid of mine recently, and I was like, I'm bumped out that I'll, like, you'll never get the first, the first week of doing Nang's back. You know what I mean? Like, there's just, there's plenty of drugs where like you, yeah, the first handful of times that you do them, you're like, this is a transformative experience and then all the rest of the time, you're kind of chasing that feeling. Yeah, which is sort of true of life in general.

And don't let that slow you down as you get older. No, just do 10 times as much. That's fine. Yeah, sorry, Theo, you were you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you're, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. the. and we didn't have an anang. He came into some nangs. And so it was like, sort of like a friend of the show, Tom Walker's coconut stream, where Tom Walker A learns what a coconut actually is. That's enormous. And B, you can't just break a coconut apart with your hands. Oh, can't you? So much work, dude.

Check out the Tom Walker coconut stream. If you would like to see the opening to 2001 a Space Odyssey, but instead of an obelisk giving higher order intelligence, a grown man in his 30s figures out how to open a coconut. Truly incredible. Yeah, I think, in a lot of ways that stream describes to me a coconut. Truly incredible. Yeah I think in a lot of ways that stream describes to me the concept of devolution as first proposed by Devo I think and later perfected by our friend Tom. And I hate to say it but unfortunately de-evolution is not real as a concept that is just a

further step of evolution. Oh, check out fucking me. Whoa. We're a bloody ABC Science podcast now. Anyway, then came the tunnel vision. The computer screen looked as if it was a million miles away. I felt my spirit slowly start to fade away. In my panic during the NDE, near death experience? Near death experience, that's right.

I quickly remembered my anciolitic exercises my mama had taught for my severe panic disorder. My brother in Christ. I love having a severe panic disorder. Doing a bunch of drugs. So much of this sounds like Nangs which leads me to the conclusion that the part of Nangs which is making your trip is not the ingredient in Nangs. It's just depriving your brain of oxygen. Yeah, you're just doing a really big breath in and out and just building up some carbon dioxide in your system. The little deaths, you know? Yeah.

I started trying my hardest to control my breathing and lowering my heart rate and suddenly everything faded back. I saw the face of death and came back. I proceeded at this point to yell out my girlfriend's name for her to come in the room. For some reason I called her her sister's name. He's just... That's a pretty weird thing to do. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's, he's, he's, he's doing. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing 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 th. He's th. He's th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing th. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well. He's doing well thi's doing well. He's doing well the the the the the the the the thi to the to to to to thi to thi thi thi to come in the room. For some reason I called her her sister's name. Lol. He's just, that's a pretty weird thing to do. He's keeping goals here. He's doing well. Bit weird.

You know what girls like, it's this next sentence. She came into me puking and passing out, face first into my own vomit. I then got up and began to have anxiety attacks and seizures. Oh, imagine dating this guy, fuck sake. Yeah. She was really scared, but I knew it was going to be over soon and I was going to live. Yeah, don't, don't worry. I've just been inhaling that when you're in the bathroom. You've just been dicked down by your beautiful boyfriend and you've ducked out to brush your teeth and you come in like, you know what, I've had a really lovely t- Oh, Jesus

fucking Christ. Ugh! It's like, don't worry, sweetie. I'm not dying. I was just inhaling a thuester while you're out of the Starfish from SpongeBob SquareBan's is said to a movie I saw, my lights page. You've gone to take your post-sex piss and you come back in and your boyfriend is dying. Yeah, or very convinced that he did die. What year is it?

Blah-la la. My chest still hurts. This all took place in under one minute. I don't think you are an accurate judge of this, my man. You're not starting timers or anything. No, this is either one second or ten years. Like, it could go either way. I now do not take my life for granted and value everything and everybody in it.

Oh drugs are so good. Yeah, dog. I will never ever toub. I will never ever toubter even if my keyboard is dusty as for. Oh, God, you get you don't have to. All right. Actually, you're probably best. You can use a vacuum cleaner. The risk is... Take the risk.

Leave it dirty. You don't need a cleaner game hot. Doesn't it cleaning. Yeah, it's in there. It can't hurt you anymore. It's self-cleaning. Hey Ben, we watched the movie altered states for the first time. Hit the fucking button! Oh hell yeah. Andrew loves to watch a million movies, but nobody else really gives a fuck. He's got 15 seconds to describe the movie.

Otherwise he's just shit out of luck. Five, four, three, two, one. Let's go. William Hurt plays a scientist who's doing like deprivation tank exercises taking drugs from mystical shamans in order to awaken memories from past life but he also accidentally turns himself to a caveman. Nice. Now I don't have to abide by the rules of this segment so I'm going to do something that I have done probably eight times on the podcast now but that movie is based

on the life and work of Dr. John C. Lilly, who was paid by the U.S. Department of Defense to give LSD to dolphins so that we could learn to psychically communicate with them. And you can hear that explored in depth in episode eight of the podcast The Dolp, simply titled Dolphin. That is interesting. Thanks, Dan. Does he think that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that that that thatop simply titled dolphin. That is interesting. Thanks Ben. Does does he think that he regressed to an earlier state of human DNA by doing a lot of drugs and being in a deprivation tank? Yeah he thought it made him go to some sort of primal form of consciousness that made him, he believed that aliens told him this while he was in that altered state but that also dolphins could do that. him, he believed that aliens told him this while he was in that

altered state but that also dolphins could do that. So if he gave acid to dolphins, I don't want to give away the twist ending of episode eight of the podcast, the dolphin, but please for the love of God, listen to it, you will learn just so much. I mean I think it was a great choice by the makers of the film to turn it into a horror movie. Yeah. And just treat this dude's psychotic drugged out visions as though they were happening. There are two movies that are based on the work of Dr. John C. Lilly and neither of them really, they they just take the parts they think are quite 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the m. the m. the make of the makeers the makeers the makers. the makers the makers the makers of the makers of the makers of the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the m. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ma. the ma. the make of the make of the make of the the the make of make. their their the ma. the ma. the the that are based on the work of Dr. John C. Lilly, and neither of them really, they just take the parts they think are quite cool from what he did, so altered

states is just like sensory deprivation and overcoming your own consciousness with drugs or whatever, and then there is Day of the Dolphin, which is a 70s crime thriller where people steal two dolphins that have been trained to speak English and then strap bombs to them and teach them how to kill the president. So, it's worth checking out. It's good stuff. I haven't seen all the states. I've got to get to that.

It's a Richard Lincoln, is it right? No. Ken Russell. What am I thinking of? It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, it.

What am I thinking of? It's from like fucking 1980, 1977-9? Theo, you're thinking of waking life. I'm thinking of waking life. Oh, you are. Possibly a scanner, darkly.

to the final segment here. This is a very quick one. You know, a lot of what we do on this podcast, I'll be the first to admit, we're just fucking around. This isn't for the benefit of humanity. We're not really improving anything. We're not making the world a better place. So sometimes... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? What? What? Well, w-Wo. Well, whoa. What? What, whoa. W, whoa. W, whoa.

Glad to hear it. Glad to hear it out loud. We talk all the time about how we're changing the world.

Well, we can. We can use this podcast for good. We have a platform and we can use that to let people know know to know know to know of course, for the PSA segment. Now hopefully we can use this to prevent anyone from experiencing some strife. This is a recall issued by the New South Wales Fair Trading Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council and is for the Husqvana AutoMower 435 All-Wil Dri. the Husqvana Auto Mower 535 All-Wil Drive All-Wildive, which are, quote, robotic all-wheel drive

powered by a lithium-ion battery. So these are those things that cruise around. Yeah, those are those things that cruise around, they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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. thu-a, thu-s, thu-s, thu-s, thu-s, thu-s, thus, thus, the, the, the, the right? Yeah, those are those things that cruise around, they're like a, yeah, a rumba lawnmower. So somebody said, so fucking stupid. Hey that rumba is pretty cool, what if I put blades on? What if I put a little spinning nightmare of death on the underside? Now this is broken into three sections here. First section of the the battery charging method may to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to de to de to de to de to de the to deae the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their theiryyrubrimeaumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumum. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the the the the the section of the recall is, what are the defects? The battery charging method may cause the battery to degrade more quickly than expected. Sounds fine.

Yeah, sure. Second part here is what should consumers do? Consumers must update their mowers software. Consumers must update their mowers, their auto mower until they have installed the latest software update. Some mowers may also need a battery replacement. The first update, available in December 2021, changes the charging method to prevent accelerated, battery degradation.

The second update, available in March 2022 allows the app to automatically, and shut down the mower automatically when a certain number of charging cycles is reached. Oh cool, so it just kills your mower. Yeah, if it looks like that the battery is going out of whack. The final section here is, what are the hazards? The battery may short circuit, overheat or ignite, increasing the risk of a fire and serious injury or death to bystanders or damage damaged property. The defect has caused several fires overseas. It's like a moving land mine is what I'm hearing. If you have a time bomb that is cruising

around your lord I assume under the cover of darkness while you're asleep in bed with your wife. Just letting it mow the lawn out there. Two in the morning, until it gets really close to your outdoor barbecue, ideally next to your gas tank. And then it just fucking explodes. Yeah. The cool thing about my lawn mower is it's right next to where all my petrol is. And also... your collection of oily rags. That's right, I've got like a couple of big buckets of decking oil. Yeah

We should stink like hell the whole time. It's burning your house down No, no fire, no smoke detectors in there though. Yeah, and you know what the thing about your family home is? It's where your family lives. Hmm. So they're probably going to be there. It's so cool that everything has to like have its software updated now. Yeah, holy fuck. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their th. thi. thi. 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. things. things. things things things things thing. thing. things things things things things things things things things tho. tho. tho. th going to be there. It's so cool that everything has to like have its software updated now. Yeah. Holy fuck. The idea of your lawn mower having an app is the dumbest fucking thing to me. And just... And also we're going to invade like Bolivia or something to fuel the need for these stupid auto robots that mow your lawn or. Delicious lithium ion.

You're gonna get more PS fives, so we do have to. I was reading about how Tesla has just announced that their cars will no longer have lifetime connectivity subscriptions. So now they used to sell you a car and it would you would just be able to like use the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth and stuff in it for when you own the car? Yeah. And now new cars, once eight years has gone by, you will have to start paying a subscription. Yeah. Yeah, this is a whole thing now. That fucking rules. It's not just Tesla's. It's like you're manufacturingthey're manufacturing the same car but then you pay for the extras on

subscription. Yeah, BMW is doing a subscription seat warmer. I was just about to say so here's an Australian article about that from car expert. to com that are you. You pay monthly for service subscriptions like Spotify and Netflix and BMW figures you may be happy doing the same for features like heated seats. With its in-car technology supporting over-the-ear updates this is open the door for BMW Australia to offer features that can be added after purchase on its connected drive store. How much does it cost you might ask? One month of heated seats is listed at, sorry, heated front seats is listed at $29. Fuck off and suck my dick, you shit.

29 dollars! A month's use of heated steering wheel or BMW drive recorder cost $19. Other subscription prices are as follows. Sorry, give me one second here. I just want to CEO of BMW. Oliver Zipsa? I'm going to punch you in the fucking throat. You can't. BMW Drive recorder, one year subscription, $79. Heated steering wheel, one year subscription, $1169. Heated front seats, one year subscription, $289.

A heated steering wheel for three years will run you $259. And heated front seats for three years will run you $419. You can also add these features permanently with heated front seats costing $589. You already added them permanently when you bought the car. You added them permanently when you built the car.

Can't wait to fucking die because I didn't update my credit cards expiry on my fucking seatbelt subscription. It's a, I was saying to Elder because we bought a new car recently and obviously this is the thing I've never done before. And like when I was looking of reviews and stuff like that you look up a model of car.

And it says, um, like you know for the sort of the sort of. the credit the credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit credit the credit credit the credit credit credit the credit the credit th. I th. I the credit credit credit credit the credit th. I th. I th. I the credit the credit th.

I. I the car. I the car. I th. I tape. I can. I've. I've. I've. I've tip. I can. I've. I've tip. I their. I can. I their, like, you know, for the sort of aggregated car review things, you look one of those up and it says, this model of car, five badges. And I asked my brother, I was like, what the fuck does that mean, five badges? And he said, oh, that's like the different levels of all the inclusions on the car, you know? And I thought, that makes sense, you know, rather than the old way where they would manufacture the car, but when you were ordering it you would say, oh I want the heated seats and I want the car system and I want the roof racks and blah blah blah and you would have to put in an order and they would like manufacture that specific car for you and ship it to you. Instead, now they say,

we have three or five or whatever levels of inclusions on the car and you just pick the one you want. Oh, you want the heated seats? Sorry, you got to pick the next model up, you know? And then they're just making those models of the car. That makes sense to say we're going to spend less on manufacturing these things and you will just pick the one you want, right? But are you the CEO of BNW? Well now we're doing the inverse of that, which is to manufacture the car with all of the features on them and then remotely disable them and hold them to ransom for you, the fucking idiot consumer. I love the world that we live in. Like, something about this just makes me so much angrier than anything else is

the idea that you have bought, you have physically acquired a car with a fucking heated steering wheel and heated front seats, but unless you pay the money, they just disable it on the software. And it's also on, it's great on like a value level as well because in the aggregate they still have to manufacture all of those heated seats, right? So the thing that you would normally pay money for and get, you suddenly, if you want heated seats, you have to subsidize all of the heated seats that have been manufactured, installed in cars and then the subscription's not paid for. So you have to pay, if you want heated seats you have to pay that that that that much that much that that much that that that that that that that to to to to to to to to manufacture to to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture that much to manufacture that much to manufacture that to manufacture that that to manufacture that to manufacture to manufacture to manufactured that to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, to manufacture, th to manufacture th th to manufacture th th th to manufacture th th th th th to manufacture that that that that that th heated seats 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 the that the the the the theat to to to to manufacture to then the subscription's not paid for. So you have to pay, if you want heated seats, you have to pay that much more for heated seats. Because they already made them, they put them in the cars and someone's just gonna like, you know what. I don't feel like heated seats. I live in Brisbane Australia.

Wow, that's a saving. That's what's up. And that's what's up. I wish it wasn't though. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I. You're saving money. And that's what's up. I wish it wasn't though. Ideally wish it wasn't what was up. It is what is up. Can I? Sorry, I know that we're wrapping up right now. I just want to tell you one thing.

Can I, can I tell you the name of the company, the original company that eventually turned into BMW? Yes. So this is a pioneering German aircraft producer founded in the early 1900s and it is called Gustav Otto Flug Machine Fabric. German Fox. Official car manufacturer of the show. And that's an episode of Bunta Vista.

Hey, we had some laughs. We learned some things and there's a new nationality we have a prejudice against. Hey, this is a serious warning to all listeners of the Wunte Vista podcast to not buy a brand-new BMW this month. Hey, Germany, I could put up with everything else you've done in the last 100 years, but charging a subscription service for heated seats... you know the tp.
