Welcome to Bluntavista episode 270. My name is Andrew and I'm here in a corporate high rise which has just been taken over by a team of nondescript international terrorists. As I handsomely take charge of the situation in an alpha male type manner, taking the radio off a terrorist that I've just incapacitated and slapping scent into various women around the room, I hear the panicked shrieking of a thin, sweat-drenched man. Tears and snot run freely from his face as he begs us all to turn ourselves over, saying things like, it's the only way and maybe we can work out some kind of

concubine arrangement between guttural sobs. It's Theo. Hi Theo. Hey, yeah. You hold it together, buddy? Oh, oh. That's, you're going to give away our position really quick. Very slippery as well, so. It's the only reason you've stayed alive. Every time a terrorist tries to grab you, you like squ squip out of his hands like a bar of soap and shoot down the hole. Firing me through vents.

Oh boy. A bar of soap. Just pinging around through the duct system. Everybody hearing it as he shoots from floor to floor. I quiet Theo down as I sense activity with my many heroic senses such as a heightened smelling capability and I smell terror. Exiting the elevator on our floor I see several non-descript terrorists who aren't from any obvious country that would impact our box office and following them out is the obvious leader of the group, an international terrorist

of the most villainous nationality of all, an amiable Queenslander. It's Ben. Yeah, good eh. Ah! What could be worse? What could be worse? He's offering everyone a drink. I'd like to be one of those amiable villain types.

People seem to really like them when they're like a bad guy, but they're quite charming. You kind of get the best of both worlds. Yeah, you would have to do the occasional explosive violence though. Oh, you have to do that thing to remind people that you're dangerous, even though quite, yeah. Well, that's what makes it scary. Like he's been acting was his employee and then cut his throat with a box cutter. Yep. That was, that scene might be the single reason I will never watch Breaking Bad again because I struggled so badly with watching that part. Oh, I thought you were talking about the part in, um, diehard three where the villain cuts

the guy's throat, but that's with like a curved, very cool looking knife. Hmm. I said, no, and it's his, it's his, uh, fem fatale that does it as well. Oh yeah, she does some cool, cool stuff before him. I had watched it about 900 times when I was 10 years old. And it's worth watching again, John McTeehan and the Goat, you know. What's this? The elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevator elevatorTien and the goat, you know Well, what's this the elevator door dings again and another figure emerges Who could it be? It's the guy who refills our vending machines It's Max Laverne beloved author and host of the new podcast the horse and the rider. This is great You know people would love to see that guy coming in that scenario He's it's just you don't have to worry about him. He's th. T. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 tho. thoea. thea. thea. thea. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the see that guy coming in that scenario.

It's just, you don't have to worry about him. He's not going to do anything bad. He's just going to bring some drinks. And that could be what everyone, maybe the terrorists are only being terrorists because they're a little dehydrated. Maybe he's going to solve all the problems. Yeah, share a Coke with a domestic terrorist. I actually also think that just going back to what Ben was saying about being one of those charming villains

who's charming most of the time and then occasionally has an outburst of violence. That's a really good way to do it because I think that what would be quite taxing if you were a villain. the villainous constantly, what would be quite taxing if you were a villain was to remember to be villainous constantly, it would be a drone. If you're the charming kind, you just tie a little string around your finger and occasionally be like, oh, hang on, it's violence time and then you can just go back to doing you. Well, yeah, yeah, it's easier because I think, I think it's more effective too because everybody, it kind of keeps everybody on their toes. Because they're kind of thinking, oh this dude seems pretty cool, but then they remember what you did last Thursday at the terrorist clubhouse and they go

ooh I can't, I can't be caught slipping around this guy whereas if you're trying to do violence around the clock I think number one retention is going to be an issue within your organization. I think you're going to have trouble keeping people on. I think you're going to have like huge turnover, really. And also, you know, when you do forget, because you know, you can't do it all the time. Occasionally you're going to forget and you're going to say, oh, did you guys see, better call Saul last night and everyone's going to go,

really? He's losing his edge. He's not scary at all anymore. He's not scary anymore. And you're going to want to talk about Better Calls Saul. Yes. So unless you want to maintain a second friendship group where you can do that. that. The big bad from Bone Tomhawk, really lively darts player. Can't let anyone know though. No. Yeah, no, I agree. I think that that's the way to do it.

Because then you know, you can just act natural. You can just, you can just have fun with it most of the time. And every now and then you see that piece of string. Oh, time to throw somebody out of the the Time to toss someone off the roof of this building, you know. Hey, can I tell you guys something really quick? Yeah, I reckon. Okay, so I was listening to last week's episode about Papagino. And so, I mean, I feel like you guys probably occupy a similar place in your family unit,

whatever that may be, as I do, I consider myself a proficient Googler. If there's an answer to be found, I'll be the one to find it. And so when I was listening to that episode, I was like, come on, how hard can't it be to find out which one is pizza man. It can't be that difficult. So I went Googling and, you know, understandably, I couldn't find it. Of course, like if the answer was to be found on the internet, then you, Andrew, would have already found it. I went directly to the source and I asked the social media manager of Papuino's Pizza. Now, before Andrew, before you tell us what answer you got, which will only muddy

the waters, Max put in the hard yards for us as a special, completely unprompted treat, Max has compiled a little audio file there for us. And I consider myself something of an audio file. And yeah, I basically, I called up a bunch of Papagino's restaurants in the New Hampshire area and I just asked the person that I was talking to, to tell me who was who, which you would think was straightforward. All right, are we ready? Yeah, I'm ready. I don't know if I'm ready, but hit the play button anyway. Here we go.

Hey, thanks for juving Papaginos. We'll be right with you to take your order. Thanks calling from Papaginos. It's a pick-upor-delivery. Um, it's actually an unrelated question. Okay. I was looking at Pupagino's mascots and so there's the chef who wears shades and then there's the slice of pizza with arms and legs and I didn't know which one was pizza man and I really want to know. What was that? So there's like there's the guy with the red hat and the glasses so there's that mascot and then there's the other one who's just a big slice of pizza and he's got arms and legs and one of them is pizza man but I couldn't find any information on which one is pizza man. Uh, I'm not sure. Do you know what the name of, what's the name of the chef one? I honestly don't even know. Is there anybody that does? Oh, let me see. Okay, thank you. Hello? Hi, thi. thi tho thi tho. to tho, tho tho tho thi thi 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 thi the thi the the the thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the thi the thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi one. I one. I one. one. one. one. one one one one. one. one. one one. one one. one. the. the. the. I thi thi that does? Oh, let me see. Okay, thank you. Hello?

Oh, hi. I just wanted to know which one was Pizza Man. Because I felt like either of them could be Pizza Man. You got a point there. It might be Slice Man there for the Pizza Slice Man. Oh, he's called Slice Man. It might be Slice Man. Well, what about I'm not, I can't help me, but. I might be Slice Man.

Well, what about the chef? What's his name? That might be Papagino. So neither of them is Pizza Man? I'm not a hundred percent on it. Um. Don't wait on hold. Order online at Papagino's. And I didn't know which one was Pizza Man,

and I was wondering if you could tell me. Whichever man do you preferably think of? They can't both be Pizza Man. Yeah. They're both Pizza Man? Thank you for calling your local Papa Ginos. Thank you for holding. How can I help you? We didn't know... It used to be the slice of pizza. Oh. Thank you for calling your local Papagino. Thank you for holding. How can I help you?

We didn't know. It used to be the slice of pizza. Oh. So the chef is the, it was the chef it went to the slice of pizza. We went back to the chef. What? So who's Pizza Man? Yeah, it's Papa Man. It's Papa Man.

They're both one of the same. Okay so wait so the same guy is Papa Man and Pizza Man. Yeah. Hey thanks for choosing Papaginos we'll be right with you to take the... It was obviously hot. Thank you for choosing Papagino's really pick up a delivery today. I know one of them is Pizza Man but I don't know which one it is. I am pretty sure it's the slice. Okay that makes sense what's the chef called? I honestly don't know. I've been here for 20 years and I honestly have no idea. But he's the one on the logo! The only reason why I know the pizza one was called the Pizza Man was because at one point we had the costume here.

Thank you very much. Oh, my pleasure, anytime. That's incredible. Well, I hope that's made it clear. I love the manager at the first place just going completely off script and inventing it. Slice man. Oh, gloff. Oh, yeah, that's Slice Man. I appreciated the level of detachment from the person who said it's it's whichever one you wanted to be. He's their guy he's their guy and nobody knew that's not like I

mean obviously I've edited that but that is everyone I talked to and I did not talk to a person who could definitively say this is you know and this is the other guy so what I've gleaned from that is that the chef is Papa Man, which again is a bewildering choice for a restaurant called Pappaginos to call the man Puppermann, and the slice of pizza is Pizza Man. So this is my belief as well, right? Because we, we had established in the article that we discussed on the previous episode that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the that, the the, the, the, the, the, the the that, the the the the the that, the the the the the the that, the the the the the the the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the chef, is the the the the the the the the the the the the, is the, is the, the, the, the, the, the, the, as well, right? Because we had established in the article that we discussed on the previous episode that there was a pizza man mascot.

And then when I started looking at the mascots, I got the anthropomorphic slice of pizza and the Papagino, who looks like a big Super Mario with sunglasses. It's like cool Super Mario. So I went to Twitter and I said, hello at Papaginos. Can you please let me know which of the two mascots pictured is Pizza Man? And on the left I have a picture of the man,

and on the right, I have a picture of the man who is a pizza. Also, what is the name of the mascot who is not pizza man? Thank you in advance, because I want to clear this up. I want to know what both of them are called. I don't just want to know which of them is pizza man. So I feel like that was a pretty clearly enunciated request. I've attached pictures separately of two mascots. I've said, this is the one on the left, this is the one on the right, which of them is which

and what's the name of the other one? I feel like that's a pretty clear set of requirements. The official Papagino's Twitter account has responded, pictured on the left, which is the mustachy-oed sunglasses guy, is Papa Man, and on the right is what we'll be having for dinner. Don't be fucking clever with it. Tell me what he's called. Give us an answer. Also, why are you eating a slice of pizza with arms and legs? That's fucked up. Do you eat the shoes? Do you have to take them off? Are they like prawn tails? So I have been googling this a lot obviously and have run into the same roadblocks that you found, Max, that we've all found that anyone searching for knowledge on this issue has found.

The best thing I've found so far is that there is a pizza restaurant in Romania called Pizza Pupper Man. So I hope that helps clear things up. I also thought that an easy way to sort this out would be, so we read a new story saying that Pizza Man delivered pizzas to some chimpanzees so that I'll just look for footage of it because surely that would have made the news. There's no video. There's only the one photo and it's of a chimpanzee holding a t-shirt. So Pizza Man is not pictured in any of the promotional photos. We found the video but there was 17 minutes sort of static in between. But I we've... There's obviously been a lot of time that's been spent on this now, but I think that

like, you know, the one other thing that I found both like confounding and really annoying is the fact that the man is called Papa Man. Like so, restaurants called Papagino's, so you would think that the, you know, the obvious name for the guy would be Papaginos, but even if you go a layer beyond that, I don't think his defining characteristic is that he's a pupper. I think it's that he's a chef. So even to me, chef man would be more acceptable than pupper man. This is making me think of, recently I went to, I went to Melbourne and saw my brother and we went

to see a Melbourne Storm game and they had their mascot running around and it's a guy in a purple suit. Yeah, it's a football guy. And his suit says, Storm Man. Like, just, he looks like a superhero kind of thing, but all, his whole deal seems entirely unrelated to the concept of the storm. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, no, he's a stormy about him. Just like, hey, we need, we need the mascot. Yeah, they ordered like from a, from a, from a Halloween, an-a- we need the mascot. Yeah, get us the mascot? They ordered like from a Halloween, an American Halloween costume thing

and they just stuck the logo on the front. Got some little lightning bolts. Bingo, bango. And it's like, what's going on there? It's not doing anything for me. If we would like a bit of... If we would like a bit of mascot perspective here, here's an article from the Sydney Morning Herald from 2018. Robert Shook knows how to pump up a crowd. As Storm Man, the mascot for the Melbourne Storm team, the former stuntman, now a juggling and acrobatics teacher, has a fan-rousing weapon tucked up the sleeve of his muscle suit. He can cheer out loud.

Unlike other mascots, most of whom are voiceless wild animals or birds of prey, shook earned the right to speak to match supporters in his third season as Stormman, back in 2005. How many years have you been Storm Man for? And how did he earn the right? Yeah! in 2005. How many years have you been storm man for? And how did he earn the right? Yeah. Are they employing the mascots do not have the right to our holy tongue? That's the vibe I'm getting. You may not speak.

Like they all have some sort of curse on them, you know? Quite. Being able to talk allows me to engage with the fans more, and be a bit of a stand-up comedian, he says. Oh my God, alright. Like all football mascots, Storm Man has had his share of dignity-destroying moments, including being booed, yelled at and occasionally punched. He's also been on the receiving end of a flying beer can or two, for which he's had to call security. Uh... Oh, that is so pedestrian.

I was really hoping for something juicy there there. Wait, he got booed? No fucking shit, man, you're a mascot. That's what you're there for 50% of the time. Oh, you got a beer throwing at you. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu. thu. thu. thu. thin. thin. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi'a'a'a'er'a'er. thi'a'a' thi' thi' thi' thi' thi'er. thi'er. thi'er. thi'er. thi'er. thi'er. thi'er. thi'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'er. And......a'er. And...a'er. And...a'er. And...a'er's to-s. to-s'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er'er' th for 50% of the time. Are you going to beer throwing at you? No shit, it's what people have in football games. Give us some color. Now of days though, you'd be throwing your plastic cup of beer. That's true. And you wouldn't be throwing it because they would have charged you $20 Australian

dollars for it, you know? Yeah, I mean, if you want to get into it, if you've smuggled one onto the site, maybe you're looking to get rid of evidence, and maybe there's an opportune target there, okay? I don't think we need to get into it, but if you want to, I'll put that out there. No, we don't do it. Maybe there's a guy in a storm costume doing a beer bottle. It would be so tempting, honestly. Like he's coming in foam. So like, how can it be? How can it be?

How can it be? How can it be a bad person to throw a can. Literally name a better person to pelt with a throwing it. Literally name. I wonder if anybody's ever done any research into a beer what is the perfect amount of beer to drink out of your can before throwing it because if you drink all of the beer out of it it stops being usable as a missile yes you know but if you if you crack it and like I mean if if you throw it without opening it I think that's a pretty extra mean spirited that's that's you might as well be throwing a half brick

brick you know I never wanted the beer I fucking I I I I I I the beer I th the beer I 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 the the the the that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the 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 theeeeeeeeeeeee the the the the the throwing half brick, you know. I don't even want this fucking beer. I never wanted the beer. I fucking hate the storm man. Every night I wake up drenched in sweat thinking about how I can't fucking wait for the next game. That'd be a real pissing, wouldn't it? You're like, oh, fuck.

They didn't even have time to crack open the beer before they concussed me with it. It was, is it didn't have time or were like we're so immediately overcome with rage upon seeing, or hearing the ungodly voice of Storm Man. Maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe you're not meant to hear a mascot's voice. No. No. I don't want to have a chat with them. That's no good. They're meant to come over and the the the the they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the they're their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to come 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 tocust. to to to to to c. to to c. to to to to c. to to to co. to to to to cuss. to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thoooooooooomeckuuoomeck 100% you're not. I don't want to have a chat with them. That's no good. They meant to come over, and then they go, they do some wordless nodding.

They high five some kids. Well, let's a thumbs up. They're always doing these ones, because, and this is an audio medium, thumbs up. Double thumbs up. They love doing those ones. It's like the only way they can communicate really because everything else comes off as kind of hostile when your expression doesn't change. One of the other things you can do, you can flip the birds, you can pretend to be jacking off. Yeah. You can act out shitting into your hand and throwing it into the crowd. I don't know what other things you can do besides the thumbs thumbs. thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs. thumbs thumbs.

this 39 segments. Oh, contrary, Andrew. I think you are on the button. Far quicker than anyone. I mean, I added out the fumbling around. So to the listener, you are on the button the button the button, the button, thueueueueueue. th. thamamam smooth smooth. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiuuffi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiolui. thi.

I mean I added out the fumbling around, so to the listener, you are on the button smooth as butter. You leave a fair bit of fumbling around in there though I reckon. It's comedy fumbling. Yeah, I mean otherwise this podcast would be 23 minutes long. If it's incompetent fumbling, then that's not a good look. No, that's not a good look. That's what I could. A bit of a fun fumbling or funnbling.

As I like to call it. Yeah, I guess that's true. This comes to us from bow hunting.com, the website where all four of us spend the most of our time online. Chris Landers of Alberta, Canada is privileged to hunt on some of the most beautiful country on earth each year for elk, bear and deer. It's subjective. You know, it is very nice. What if, no, I'm not willing to argue this point, it's very beautiful. What if I love deserts, you know? I mean for a start it's got elk, bear and deer on there. Fewer and fewer with this guy, but when you've got those three beasts wandering around a landscape,

It looks good. Chris started bow hunting three years ago with encouragement of a friend. Since then, a passion for the hunt has continued to burn with each passing season. I'll see a doctor about that. Landers has learned a lot in his short time as a hunter, thanks to the wisdom and guidance of friends. However, nothing prepared him for what would take place in early September while on the mountain in search of elk. Quote, we woke up at 4 a.m. on day two of our elk hunt and started making our way up the river, said Landers. We let out a few bugles and had bulls bugling back further up the valley. We closed in on the elk

and got to within 35 yards of the bull but couldn't get a shot. We took a break midday to eat and rest up before heading back down to the river bottom. Landers and his friends were planning to ease back down to the river valley and see if they could locate another bull for the afternoon. They made their way across the south-facing slope before stopping to discuss the game plan further. Quote, Once we started walking again, I felt what I thought was a branch hit me in the leg, says Landers. I stumbled forward trying to get off of it, then tripped and fell.

I rolled over on my back and saw an arrow missing from my quiver and knew I was in trouble. I looked down and saw a rip in my pants and blood was just gushing out of my leg. Ooh. Hmm. One of the arrows in Lander's quiver had been snagged by brush and flipped out, laucting out, landing knocked down with the broadhead an angled. The broadhead entered Chris's shin, angled up his leg into the top of his knee and lodged in the bottom of his thigh.

Oh no! What a series of fucking unfortunate events. It's landed on the ground, point up, and then he has tripped over onto it. I've, I've told you about my friends. Oh, no, please don't. This will be the f fifth time. Yeah, yeah. He had this but tumbling, straighten the butt. One of the friends immediately pulled his belt off to make it torn okay, causing his pants to fall down comically. Yeah.

It's got the love heart box. I know exactly what I need to do. The other friend quickly began to contact emergency services. Quote, we hadn't had a lick of cell reception. The whole time we were out there, says Landers, but believe it or not, when my friend tried to call 911, he was able to get a call out while we were sitting there on that south-facing slope. Because of the location, it took nearly an hour and a half for emergency crews to arrive on the scene and clear out a landing zone for the air evag crew to land a chopper. Once crews arrived they immediately began to address the bleeding, apply a fresh torni-kay and provide

Chris with meds. Pretty embarrassing right? Yeah. Well like as as the chopper's landing and they're coming over and it's really noisy being like, I'm so embarrassed. Oh, geez. It's my arrow. This is all me, if I'm being honest with you. Butterquivers over here. Just slipped on out. Chris was flown to the hospital for treatment and extraction of the broadhead

and remaining piece of the arrow. The broadhead did extensive damage to arteries and nerves the life resulting in a number of surgeries. In fact, Landers has undergone eight surgeries in the last month following the accident. Eight. Yeah, that's a lot. I don't know anything about hunting with a bow, obviously, but you know, how how fucking easy is it for an arrow to flick out of a quiver? Like, I think he should be securing his load a bit better than that. If he's walking around with like a robin hood quiver slung over his back, he has partially

deserved this. If he's liable to like give out a hardy chortel and then the shaking spasms of his laughter sends arrows flying into the air and then down upon him. That's on him. I think he didn't want to admit to the news that him and his friends were doing somersaults down the hill. Wee! Guys I haven't rolled down a hill like this since I was in school. Wee! Stab. Well boys, it's time for card wheels. If anything goes wrong, we'll come up with another story.

I am partially, like, if they had, let's say, an incident where one of them accidentally shot one of the others, Donald Brumsford style? Who was it that, no, Cheney. Cheney. Cheney style. You would just say it was a freak accident where your arrow came out and landed knock first on the ground and then you tripped, wouldn't you? Best, uh, the best thing about the Dick Cheney hunting accident thing was that he made the guy that he shot publicly apologize? Yeah. Good move. I'm so sorry. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. You would th.

Chene. th. thing was that he made the guy that he shot publicly apologize. Yeah, good move. I'm so sorry that this has happened to you the guy's saying. Thea, you know how we we were talking not on the show but

recently we were talking about that streamer Adriana Chechik who jumped into the the foam pit at Twitchcon. Yeah, it's no good. When I say foam pit, this is an audio medium, but I'm currently doing air quotes around foam pit. Because in reality it seems like it was a bunch of blocks of foam, about one foot deep on a concrete floor. And if you're listening to this podcast right now when you jumped into that foam pit at Twitchcon, please ride in to let us know, Demi.

So I sent the link about that when it happened to Theo about how she had actually broken her back in two places after doing this like American Gladiator style, push the other person off a little platform thing, and then she went wee and jumped into the pit and landed on her butt and then started going, oh, yeah. Yeah. End rolling over on her side and just not getting up when anybody was saying, hey, get up. It turns out that she's now had to have multiple back surgeries. This is her talking about it on October 12th. So surgery went well, five hours and 30 minutes.

More fusions than expected. Bones completely crushed and nerve damage to my bladder. It always fucks me up how long surgeries are. Like this minute, the side, like the side of, like the, she the side, she the side, she the side, she the side, she the side, she th. She th. She th. She th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th.

It always fucks me up how long surgeries are. Like they're spending, what are they doing the whole time? They're just fiddling around in there? You go in, you snip the thing that needs to be snipped or you sew together the thing that needs to be sewed together. Just do it.

I get kind of like that with spacewalks when they're like, well, we have to do a space walk to fix this one thing. It's going to be 14 hours long. I'm like, come on, man. The ISS is not that big. You're not sting having sex. That's a great. That's the longest thing.

If you're under 30, go fuck yourself. So she went on to explain all of this like, hey, you know, a week later I was able to stand up for the first time. Yeah, it's not the usual experience you get from a phone pit. No, on October 15th she went in for a second surgery before being released in the hospital so having to get two surgeries a bunch of nerve damage, a bunch of crushed bones all that shit all because of Lenovo. Thanks Lenovo. They finally did it. They make good keyboards though on their laptop so we'll say that. So sort of... Forgive and forget is that? Yeah. Tthing thi to get to get to get the to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to have th. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks, to to to to to the to to the the to their to to to to to to to to to to to to their laptop so we'll say that. So it's sort of... Forgive and forget, is that what you think? Yeah.

The thing that's crazy for me about surgeries is, you know, I mean the length, it's like, they're doing complicated stuff, you know, the blows out, a little bit blows out. Yeah. But for me it would be easy, but for them I can see. Yeah thing that I find very strange is when they leave stuff in there. Which like... Yeah, and they have a little upsadaisy. Yeah, like, I'm sure it's messy, you know, like, you know, there's, there's goo, you know, whatever, there's all kinds of gear in there. But are you suggesting that a pair of scissors is a relatively obvious feature when it's inside inside inside inside, thiiii.. th. th. I I I I I th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. th. thi. thi. I thi. thi. thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very, whatever, there's all kinds of gear in there. But are you suggesting that a pair of scissors is a relatively obvious feature when it's inside a human body? Well, yeah, I mean, yes. I am saying that, absolutely.

But also, like, if this is your workspace, right? Like, okay, you've got a little slit in a person that you're working through, and then you've got like a whole table where you can store stuff. So don't store the stuff in the little slit. Well, having played surgery simulator, I'd say it's easy for stuff to just go flying around all over the place from what I can see. Well, that's true. But also, not all surgeries are through a little slit, like I got my, I got my appendix removed this year. When I went in they were like, it's a weird thing for an old guy to do.

But that's like laparoscopic surgery where it's like three, three like keyhole type things around your abdomen, right? So I think like the biggest incision is like a centimeter across kind of thing where they put the camera in, you know. It's just like I haven't seen that procedure being done but it fucks me up to think of like they have a couple of different holes and then so that they can shove like one thing in which has like a camera and then they can shove two other like long thin tools and then they're like like like like like their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. their their their their their their their their their thin. 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. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. their their their their their th other like long thin tools in with handles and then they're like independently operating those tools while they watch the vision on the camera and that's a very that's a funny visual to me but there's the other kinds of surgeries where like if they need to do something say inside your abdomen or whatever it's not a small incision they

make a great big incision and they take all of your guts out. And my mom worked in the... Who told you this? My mother worked in the medical industry for a long time, right? She used to sell surgical equipment to surgeons in hospitals. On the street outside the hospital. Yeah, yeah. She got from somewhere. So, so they they did like very extensive training, right? They would they would send her away for for substantial amounts of time and they'd do a lot of training

to a point where you're theoretically supposed to be able to like accompany a surgeon through doing procedures, right? Like the training involved getting them to do surgery on pigs, like live pigs, all kinds of wild stuff. Your mom has operated on a pig? Yes. And so I would regularly come home and come home like from school and walk in and she'd be watching like a VHS that they had given her of some surgery. You walk into the living room and there's like a laparoscopic hysterectomy happening on the big screen, you know? And so she would tell me about being in theaters and watching surgeries and all of the different wild shit that you see.

And she was like, you would think to yourself that they'd like be kind of gentle when they're doing stuff inside you and that's not the case at all. She was like, if they're doing stuff in their abdomen, they open you right up and they literally pull all of your upper and lower intestines out and dump them into a bucket next to you, right? Fuck. And then they get they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thiole. they're thoing they're thoing they're they're they're thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thueree thueree. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an thea. thea. th into a bucket next to you, right? Fuck. And then they get in and they do their stuff, and then when they're done, she says, they literally take the dish of all of that stuff and just tip it back in.

That can't be right. And then what happens is your body over the course of the next however long, reorganizes all of your intestines inside your body to go back into that to to to th...... And th. And th. And th. And th. And the th. And th. And the th. thu. thu. their, their, the, the, the, their, the, the, their, the, their, their, their, their, their, they're their, they're, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their the, their the, the, the, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thea, thea, thea.ea. We'll thea, that familiar snaking look, you know. So they just, they just like, bleh. They slurp that whole thing in there. They've got one of those like the $3 red plastic buckets that you buy for like doing concrete at home. If you're the one medical doctor that I know listens to this podcast, please write in about anything you've just heard.

A lot of temps of insides here. What else do they do when they've got everything out? Are they do a little cleanup? Just scrape some barnacles off the inside? Oh, look, again, again though. Like, have you ever watched, um, have you ever watched somebody get liposuction? No, no, yeah. Oh my, of course not.

Like, so, so, people. Hey, we're going down to the old liposuction viewing room. Old surgery this weekend. You put $2 in and the little paint of glass goes clear and you can see the liposuction happening for 30 seconds. No, like it's it's staggering to see they like make make incisions like in the backy your thigh or whatever right and the surgeon like gets their whole hand in there to like separate the layer, separate like the layer of fat and stuff like that and that. And it looks like somebody like, I don't know man.

Looks like a fucking panel beater going to work. Like someone getting butter underneath the chicken skin. Yeah, yeah, but in terms of the vigorousness of the movements for someone who has their hand under your skin, that shit is wild. It's no wonder that people come out of surgeries and stuff in recovery covered in massive bruises and like feeling incredibly sore and everything. Because the surgeon's going like Rocky punching the cow carca style on you. Absolutely, it is it is crazy to see like how how hard they go when doing stuff like that so you know I guess the point I was trying

to make was what if you accidentally put your forceps down in the bottom of that tray before you dump all the guts in it and then when you finished you just pouring it back in and it's underneath everything, you know? Maybe, maybe it's a really easy mistake to make. See I'm just looking at my desk right now and it is a fucking mess. And I'm just thinking, maybe it's understandable that they lose scissors in there, maybe you need to clean your slit. Right, you come in there with with a slit the s a slip that's just... Okay. It's got shit going everywhere, hither and tither. I'm suggesting maybe that they do the, like the pegboard tool thing, you know, where you draw

an outline around the tool so that you know that once the guts are back in, if you're like, yeah. There's a scissor-shaped outline the tray, but no scissors. Wait a damn second. Uh, I guess this dude got himself fucked up with an arrow, now that I think about it. Yeah. Yeah. Despite spending the last month in the hospital, Chris is expected to make a complete recovery. I don't know. I think anything where you've had to have eight surgeries and there's a bunch of nerve damage, that kind of precludes complete recovery in my... That's is is is thi is thi, uh thi, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I thi, uh, I thi, uh, I thi, I thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I'm thi, uh, I'm thi's thi, uh, I thi, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm thi, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I this this this this this this this, uh, uh, I's this, I's this, this, this, thi, thi, thi, thi. I th. th. I th. th. I th. I th. I th. I's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's a thri's thr-s throi's thr-s, thr-s, thi- surgeries and there's a bunch of nerve damage, that kind of precludes complete recovery in my imaginings. And he's great, he's thriving. Oh, he's going to be out there in winter three years from now.

Oh, I think just get sore because of the time that I, uh, I got shot, preventing a robbery. It wasn't car wheels. I think that, like, you know, we should should probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably to probably to probably to to to the like, you know, we should probably take the rule of thumb that where, whenever someone has to come up with a complicated story as to how something got into their body, it was a sex thing that was happening. And given that it's an arrow and his foot does make it more complicated, the foot's not a traditional orifice. So I think that probably what we have to assume is that there's three friends, one of them is the photographer, one of them's holding the bow and the other one is the foot model, and their thing is that they pretend to fire arrows at feet and unfortunately Mr. Slippery fingers loosed the arrow, and they've had to, reverse engineer it, so it's a more wholesome explanation for the boys in the chopper when they arrive.

Yeah, maybe it's a... Maybe it's like... It definitely wasn't for Feet in Peril magazine. This is the same way that William S. Burrow's wife died, so... And it's actually quite tragic. Oh, Chris encourages all hunters to make sure they have a fresh first aid kit with them at all times while hunting, particularly one that has a quality torni-kay and plenty of goals to apply to a wound and a helicopter. My buddies saved my life out there by applying a tornike to my leg, says Landers,

otherwise I would have bled to death right there on that mountain. I just I just I just I just I just that I just I just I just just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just. I just that. I just that. I just that that that that that that's I just just 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 right there on that mountain. I just want to, we did miss one paragraph here, which I think maybe is worth including. Landers' buddies thought he was messing around when he first told them he had taken an arrow to the leg, but as soon as he showed them the wound in the blood, the whole crew knew things were bad. They thought that he was lying because of Skyrim. Oh yeah, mm-hmm. Pretty cool. Because of the thing. Because of that thing. Because of the name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you used to be an adventure like us. We got it. He's on the crowd screaming, ha ha ha, very funny, Chris. I like the game Game came out in 2012, Chris. I like the suggestion that all it took was for his friends to see like a leader of blood you know on his leg to go, something's up.

I suspected something was wrong with Chris when he was bleeding out. Because he always got that much blood on his leg. My goodness. Oh my goodness. Unfortunately this type of accident happens more often than most people think. A similar instance took place recently in Colorado when a bow hunter was impaled above the knee by an arrow that had been left in the woods by another hunter. He should have gone with that. I fell on someone else's arrow. He should have gone with that. Where's this other hunter? Uh, I, uh, that? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, th th th. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, th. Uh, th. Uh, th. th, th. th. th, th. Uh, th. Uh, th th. Uh, th th. Uh, th. Uh, th. Uh, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu. thu. Uh, thoothat. I fell on someone else's arrow. He should have gone with that. Where is this other hunter? This guy's like the other hunter is shopping at a supermarket and then all of a sudden he sees a little plus 10 points

come up and he's not sure why. Hunter is crippled, huh? What? What? What? Ha! Hawne goodness. Harry Sandler, vice president of the Route County search and rescue, possibly Root, who knows. Says, says... Welcome to Root County. Welcome to Root County. Says, no one knows how long the lost arrow had been there,

but it's the second year in a row that a bow hunter in this area has been injured by a lost arrow. These stories serve as a reminder for the needs to look a little harder for arrows that miss their mark while hunting. There you go. We all get complacent, don't we? We do. I'm leaving thoes those those those those thoes thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing tho's tho's tho's tho's tho's tho's tho's tho tho tho tho tho tho the tho tho tho tho the fo the fo 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 th. th. th. tho. thoom. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. th. th. th. th, don't we? Yep. We do. I'm leaving those fuckers all over the place. They'll be seen. Someone else will pick them up. It's the council's job.

As soon as I loose that arrow from my bow, out of mine. Yeah, that's the world's arrow now. Someone else's problem. It's a... Specifically, that guy got the legs problem, yeah. Well, sometimes you're tipping a big bowl of guts back into someone you're doing surgery on, and sometimes you're tipping over a truck and a whole bunch of shit onto a highway. It must be time for the tipping report. I'm itching for another edition of the tiping report. I feel like we haven't had regular old truck tipping report in a while.

No, it has been a little while, which incidentally, I mentioned this before we started recording, but Max was on the genesis episode of the tipping report as well, so it feels nice. It's like we've got a full circle. You just lend yourself to stories about car accidents. Thank you Ben. Here we go. I have 11 tons of live catfish, spilt on Interstate 95 near Fayetteville, North Carolina. It's a lot of catfish. There's a lot of catfish on a single truck, isn't it?

Yeah. I think you'd disperse that. Don't put all your live catfish. It's a catfish. It's a catfish kind of trading thing going on that I'm not aware of, that would generate that much demand for live catfish in one place? They do thi that differently in the South. I don't know if North Carolina is it. Is that in the South? Are the Carolinas the South?

I don't know, they probably eat catfish. There are some big-time catfish merchants down south that are like, well, we could spread our load over a couple of trucks, but we're spending more on the one truck. This is why you can't just be profit driven. It's the catfish that pay the price. I have, this is a direct quote here, countless watermelons on Route 79 in Fall River, Massachusetts. That's just somebody lazy saying that. Yeah. I think that I would be able to count a truck full of watermelons. Yeah, I mean if it was my job to count a truck full of watermelons. Yeah, I mean, if it was my job to do so. If you're a professional watermelon counter.

Yeah, which this guy is. Countless grains of rice? Yeah, sure. Yeah, you know? Oh, a truck full of sand has turned over. I'm not counting all the sand. Fair enough. There are more watermelon in this truck than the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theruck than there are stars in the sky.

It's absolutely impossible to know how many watermelons could be in this single truck. Some of them rolled out over there so they might as well be gone. But the world's watermelons now. That's right. I have an unspecified amount of dihydrogen hexylophluorotinate, hydrofluoric acid and hexafluorazonic acid on Interstate 75 near Stockbridge, Georgia. No breathing near Stockbridge, Georgia. Everybody, just hold your breath for how long could it take? It's always hard to tell with these sorts of chemicals because they always sound

very bad and then you just find out it's like one of the key ingredients in Pepsi or whatever. Which doesn't necessarily mean it's not bad I guess. I feel like enough of anything is often often bad. That's so true. Have you guys ever seen and like a truck overturned but with its like content spilled? I've never seen that in my whole life. No, I don't think I have either. I've seen them on their side. This tipping report would have you believe that it's just a completely common occurrence. Well yeah, this is what the mainstream media wants you to think is that they bring you a select few stories and then try and imply that that that that that that that that that that that th........ their their their th. th. th. their. th. th. th. th. their. th. th. th. th. they's. they's. they're. th. thi. they're thi's thi. thi. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're they're th. th. th. th. th. th. te. ty. te. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. th. th. th. th. think is that they bring you a select few stories and then try and imply that that's happening constantly. Yeah. Yeah. They're going, well look, you know, you guys are all complaining about inflation and the economy and stuff

when there's free, three different kinds of acid to pick up off the ground. Like as much as you can carry before your hands fall off and turn to bones. Everybody take your, your little sandpails down there. Free acid. I have a trailer full of sugar beats on 75th Avenue in Edwards Township, Minnesota. Okay I wonder what's different between them and regular beats. I assume they might just be... Yeah no well that's what they make sugar out of in the in the states. They don't have sugar cane. Yeah they've only got corn and beat the the the the the their th.. the th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the the th. th. the th. th. the th. th. the the th. th. th th th. the the tha tha the the thea thea th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha be... Yeah, no, well that's what they make sugar out of in the states. They don't have sugar cane. Yeah, they've only got corn and beetroot. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, I wouldn't have pictured at all at all. A sugar beet. Um, it's like a pale yellow color. A sugar the a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose and which is grown commercially for sugar production. Making sugar out of beets. They are, yes.

500 liters of white paint on Indian Hills Drive in St. George, Utah. I'm never going to get that up. Really, really confusing road markings now. I don't know if you could overtake here. The whole road is white, so I think that technically constitutes a double line. I'm just going to stop here. I'm going to wait further instructions. I think international waters. Anything goes. I think if the entire road is covered in white paint, that's a single line, surely. Well, it's an unbroken line regardless. I think technically it would also be a stop line, right? Because it's also at the same. I I I I I I I's. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I's the same. I'm just the same. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just to stop. I'm just going. I'm just going. I'm just going. I'm just to stop. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I's just. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just going. I'm just going. It's. It's going. It's going. It's just going. It's just going. It's going. It's just going. It's just going. It's a. It's a the. I'm just going. I'm just going. It's a the. I'm just. Ithis so. I think technically it would also be a stop line right

because it's also at the same time covering from side to side as well yeah who knows what to do there. They're law abiding people in Utah as well so you know a truckload of mud on interstate 75 south and hills are in Florida Florida. That's irreplaceable. Yeah so no one died which is how this story is still in here because this is also a no-death segment but eight people were hospitalized because apparently the mud instantly created an ice-like slick surface that caused like eight cars to pile up. So that's that's fun to picture.

Does it say where they were taking the mud? cars to pile up. So that's fun to picture. Hmm. Less fun for it. Does it say where they were taking the mud? No, they had no details about the mud's intended purpose. Mud's destination. I hope it was, um, oh, I hope it was that story that we had one time about like the, the vacant lot where they were just bringing stuff and dumping it. A, eight-meter high spill. had one time about like the vacant lot where they were just bringing stuff and dumping it? Lady across the street freaking out. Eight-meter high spill. Hey, they bought another trailer load of mud

in today. Shipping it from a completely different country. I don't have to also be an extremely expensive substance to ship. Yeah. Very heavy to get some travel load of mud. If you want some mud, that's just wet dirt. You got dirt in a garden hose? the the the the high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high. the hi. the hi. the hi. the high. the hi. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high. the high.

Very heavy to get some travel load of mud. If you want some mud, that's just wet dirt. You got dirt in a garden hose? Yeah. DIY mud baby. That's true. Even if you don't have dirt near you, you can ship the dirt and add your own water. You can't find dirt, I feel. Like regardless where you live, you're probably not far from a source of dirt. Some places are sandy. Some places have a lot of loam. Lome. Some places are loamy. Just door dashing a bucket of mud.

Yeah, door dashed guy told me there's no mud at the store. I get in there. The shelves are full of mud. You said he couldn't find dirt or water. I have a truck full of spaghetti sauce on Interstate 290 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Although they probably pronounce it Wooster or some dumb shit there because it's America. So what are we calling in Spaghetti sauce? Is it red sauce? Is it red sauce? Spaghetti sauce is like a, a marinara to me. Yeah, it was a red sauce. Yeah. Although I could also take spaghetti sauce to imply like a meat sauce as well. Oh, a ragu. That's true, yeah. It could easily be a bollinase. Yeah. What I'm saying is that taxonomically it could also include a nice

carbonara. I don't think so. Eggs in there nicely sealed, not scrambled. I'm sorry I don't want to be confrontational on your podcast for the O, but I just don't think so. I think the platonic ideal of a pasta sauce is red. Yeah, if you're, if they're just saying spaghetti sauce and not providing any other information, it's a red sauce. We're all agreeing, it's red. It's a majority rule here on this show. Oh, it was a pasta prima vera actually. I'm just not ready to make those assumptions. Well, you don't have to, Theo, but we've raised a quorum and the source is red.

You've been voted out, I'm sorry. I hope it's not a meat sauce because I think that's going to make a tremendous difference to the urgency to clean it up. If you've just got like a tomato-based marinara kind of sauce, out in the sun, we'll keep the tomatoes good for a while. Yeah, and also I think like when that gets hot in the sun, that's not really ruining anyone's day. Whereas, a couple hot days in a road. People are driving over it, they're getting beef or mashed in their tires. Yep, tire tread all filled with beef. You get home, how stinks like pizza sauce. What do you do it out there? I'm just scraping the beef out of the cracks in my tires.

Go ahead. It's so dangerous. Sliding around on the road. Over 30 Americans die every year from unchecked beef treads. Please. You can take a screw and put in a tire tread and pull out beef. Your car's not safe to drive. If the beef is up to the depth, Mark, you'd tread. It's time to clear the beef out.

Doing road safety PSAs imploring people to start using lean beef in the spaghetti sauce. I have one more here. And this is a sort of like a precursor to the one we just had. Several tons of tomatoes on Highway 120 in Escalon, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California.. Is. So, that's. So, that's, that's. It's. It's. It's the th. It's to to the to to to the to to to to to to to to to to pull to pull out. It's to to to to too, it's tooing to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to c.

That's going to be a spaghetti sauce. Yeah, you want to get people driving over that straight away if you want to develop a spaghetti sauce. Ideally, a truck with Italian herbs will also overturn. Hang on, did I just say, or a Pino, thinking that, no, that's grapes.

That's, that's, it's grapes that wine are made out of. That's right, traditionally. Correct, Leo. Yeah. Were you just for a second thinking that the Italians were over there having their, having their spaghetti sauce-based alcohol? I don't know. I pictured, I feet, smushing them up and tomatoes. But that's just how they make pasada I think. Isn't it funny that that's an acceptable way to have our wine made, but

if you pictured somebody making your spaghetti sauce by tramping up and down in a big pot of tomatoes. Suddenly not so appealing is it? And they cook the tomatoes, you know? Yeah. They're not cooking the wine, you still got all that feet in there. That's how I scramble my eggs. It's how I whip my cream, it's really hard. It's the four hours. Ed you get to there with a couple of steel-kept boots and starts thrashing around. Is it? A hot truck load of beef in the sun.

That's a little something that we would call in this new segment. Smells the make you go, huh? That about right Ben? Yeah. I mean, I know you wanted a song. in this new segment, smells the make you go, huh? That about right, Ben? Yeah. I mean, I know you wanted a song. Yeah, well, I didn't have some time to speak. This is a story from the newspaper, The Express Times, in Eastern Pennsylvania, DEP gets whiff of mysterious maple syrup smell in Bethlehem hits spray tech with violations.

Spray tech? Spray tech. I'm immediately getting like robo cop. Yeah have absolutely. Yeah absolutely. The sweet smell of maple syrup or popcorn. Okay, well that's they're not that similar. That waffed over parts of Bethlehem in recent weeks was really a spray drying plant running a fowl. Hmm. A spray drying plant. Now, spray drying plant, that's right. Usually the sprays are wet. Traditionally, in my experience, traditionally a spray is...

Yeah, you don't get sprayed with dry objects. No. Not even like a fine powder, I wouldn't call that a spray. But a spray of gunfire. Interesting. What? A spray of flowers could be dry? Oh, that's true.

That is another use of the word spray. Isn't this fun? We've become an ABC podcast. Get in touch if you can think of any other ways to use the word spray that we might not have thought of. Oh, like, yep. If you know how to get Tiger Web on the show, well, sometimes yelling at somebody is spray of words.

Yeah, well, depends how you do it. Did anyone use this time to Google what spray drying is? I was really hoping that someone with, you know, maybe a really low attention span. My keyboard isn't actually working right now. None of the keys when I press them are making keys appear on the screen. Best thing that has ever happened to you. According to the faultless online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, spray drying is a method of changing a dry powder from a liquid or slurry by rapidly drying it with a hot gas.

This is the preferred method of drying of many thermally sensitive materials, such as foods and pharmaceuticals, or materials which may require extremely consistent, fine particle size. Air is the heated drying medium, however, if the liquid is a flammable solvent, such as ethanol, or the product is oxygen sensitive, then nitrogen is used.

Congratulations. You have learned one thing this episode. Hey! Following complaints, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says it sent out, quote, odor patrols five times late last month to track the source of the mysterious smells. They picked up the scent on September 22nd, leading them to spray tech on Avenue B in Bethlehem near Lehigh Valley International Airport. The result was a notice of violation to the New Jersey Base Company for, quote, malodorous emissions that were detectable outside the property.

I think that's harsh. I actually think the whole thing's awash. If it smells good, that's fine. Don't try not to do it, but if it smells good, that's okay. You're in the clear point, actually. I would say that's a misuse of malodorous. This is Ben odorous. What's the, how would you say, malifluous? No, what does that mean?

That's actually your name. If no one else said it, I will. Oh, oh, that one wrong. Yeah, like if it's a pleasant smell, that doesn't seem to be a violation of that law at all. Ah, it smells like popcorn. They're very objective. Well, I mean, yeah. There was notice of violation as well for installing a new spray dryer without state approval. The DEP has requested Spraytech submit a plan to correct the situation within 15 days of the notice dated October 4th.

Spraytech, which also has plants in New Jersey and Wisconsin, did not respond to request for comment from Lehigh Valley Live. thone. The violation notice did not specify what caused the smell. At a recent Bethlehem City Council meeting, a resident complained that he that he that he that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that is is that that is that is th is th is th is the the the the the the the the the their their their the their is the the their their what caused the smell. At a recent Bethlehem City Council meeting, a resident complained that he and his neighbors want to know if the source is potentially hazardous. D.P. spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said the department received 11 complaints from residents about the smells over 3 weeks in September. She declined to elaborate on how the spray-tacrace the smell.

Cronolny said the department received 11 complaints from residents about the smells over three weeks in September. She declined to elaborate on how the quote odor patrols traced the smell, citing department policy. Oh they're not going to release that that odor tracking technology. Why is that a secret? We all know that it's a guy in a go-cart holding the smell horn up one nostril as he zips around the city. It's also so funny like to hear about 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell the smell to to too too too too too too too too too too too too the smell smell smell smell the smell the smell smell smell the smell smell smell the smell smell smell ips around the city. It's also so funny like to hear about like civil issues in Bethlehem is like hearing a whole bunch of toilets are backed up in Narnia or something. The fictional city of Bethlehem that's right. Oh you think the bottom is real now, Ben? Also, it's all right.

This wasn't really enough to do a whole segment for, but, uh, that smell that was in the last time that we did smells that make you go hard, which was also the first time we did smells that make you go hard. They found out what it was. It was, I'm sorry, I should probably actually written this down, oh it's from an asphalt plant. It's probably not that great. Yeah, I mean that's not. Classic stinky place.

Yeah, but it's not any of the many, the diaper factory, you know, every other place that they listed off. I guess they just forgot to check this one. Do we, um, do we agree on what our antonym is for maloder? I'm gonna submit redolence. Is that, I thought something could be redolent. Oh no, that doesn't necessarily relate to smell though, does it? Redolence, by definition a sweet or pleasant smell. Oh, that's quite nice. An antonym for redolence is melloda. Yeah right. We did learn something today. Unless the

antonym is just odor you know. Well yeah. Maloder is like evil odor. Oh it's a sort of Luigi Wailozy situation. Yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely. I think that technically constitutes an episode of the podcast, Buntavista. Now Max, as we mentioned up the tip of top, you have a new podcast, I believe it's called The Horse and the Rider. There's three episodes out so far, and it is, it's novel length, a novel length narrative podcast, is that true? Would you agree with that characterization? Answer the question.

That is a very good synopsis of it, Ben. Thank you. Yes, it is, it's a long story. It was a novel, but then I decided to read it out loud into a microphone and put sound effects and music to it as well. So that makes it a podcast. That's how it works. I, you know, I would love people to listen to it because in it I give all of the details that you would need to donate money to me. So I won't, I won't sully your podcast by sharing those details, but I've sullied mine.

So please listen to it. And at the end of the most recent episode, you know, I make a suggestion. It is a suggestion. It's not a requirement, obviously. But if you like it, maybe you could go for a 25-minute drive with someone that you know and just put on the whole thing for them to listen to. Because I don't think people take it seriously when you recommend a podcast to them.

But if you force them to listen to it because you play it to them while you're in the car and you've locked the doors potentially, that's a really good thing to do. So while I appreciate you having me on the podcast, on the podcast, on the podcast, on the podcast, the podcast, the podcast, on the podcast, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. to, to thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And, thi, to do. So while I appreciate you having me on the podcast today, to do this plug, if you guys could actually each take one person in your life for a 25 minute ride, it can be a 25 minute round trip, it doesn't have to be a destination that's 25 minutes away, that would also be great for me, for me personally. That would be awesome. I'd recommend a single trip though. I think you really do want it to be unbroken. I specifically choose to listen to the episodes when I know I'm doing a drive that's over 15 minutes. You did provide some hyper-specific

examples of 25-minute drives for a number of international cities. A Brisbane one that I would offer up is maybe if you were driving from, oh, Milton to Wishart, that's probably about 25 minutes if the traffic is bad so if you were say driving from my place to Theo's place that it that's kind of the perfect length for that Andrew do you know of any 25 to 30 minute drives in Canberra? I think I think it would probably take about that long for me to get from my house to Parliament house, where the Prime Minister jacks off in front of all the other politicians. Just depending on how much info you've got in the back of your car at the time.

If you don't have a 25 minute drive, perhaps you want a loved one can just turn on the car in the garage and listen to what they're doing. Are you glad you came on here to... Is this what you want? And just give it some revs. When something you like happens on the point you're going. Hey, that's Max. Let the car be part of the experience, you know. My suggestion would be, I mean my suggestion would mainly be, make sure that the podcast is like cued up on your phone but when, before you get in the car so that you don't have to like look at your car

while you're driving or anything, and wait until the car is moving at a decent clip before you ominously push the button that locks all the doors in the car. Yeah. Because if you do it like while you're sitting in the driveway and you haven't backed out yet or anything, they can just hop out. You don't want them to miss it out on half of it. They can just hop out with the consequences. Yeah, yeah, there's got to be consequences. Or they're listening to the show, one of's called the horse and the rider. Thank you, Bundavista, for joining my podcast network.

Thank you. For finally accepting the application and fees. See you next week, everybody. Bye-bye. you
