Hello, welcome to Buntavista. It's episode 280. Yes, this is the number one podcast specifically and only dedicated to the worship of the Genesis 2, the Church of Health and Healing. I'm Theo and I'm great. I'm feeling hail and healthy, free of all diseases including COVID-19, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, autism, malaria, hepatitis, Parkinson's, herpes, HIV, AIDS, and other serious medical conditions. And of course I owe it all to Mark Grenon and his Miracle Solution. Yes, one sip of that brew, and I'm ready to start my day. Don't even talk to me till I've had my MMS.

I'm also excited to be joined by Antonio Scugler Ichi, who is here to share his amazing and traditional Italian recipes for bleach. It's Andrew. Antonio, it's so good to have you here. What delicious recipes can you share with us today? Basically, I'm just putting bleach into other drinks that I already have. Adding bleach to some Coca-Cola. Adding bleach to some coca-cola. ading bleach to some... And that bleach has negative calories as well. So, yeah, that's true. You'll shit out enough tissue

to... match the calories to get the cokes. Really, knock a few grams off, yeah. And as always, I'm joined by Cremorne James. It's Ben. Cremorne, Gadee. Before we get to our next guest, I should say, though, we just need to do a completely natural and integrated ad read. Hey guys, you know how I'm always looking for new formulations of bleach to mix with toxic levels of citric acid and drink

to do a deep cleanse of my entire digestive lymphatic and nervous systems. Well I was down at Australia's own chemist warehouse and I was down at Australia and you wouldn't believe the deals they have on brand name a generic food grade sodium chloride and the selection is phenomenal. Chemist Warehouse have done it again with rock bottom prices and products you'll love. And if you're in Australia, there's probably one not too far from you. Thanks, Kremon. I'll be sure to check that out when I'm next in a chemist warehouse, which I'm sure won't be long from now.

And finally, we believe in this podcast, and in the Genesis 2 Church of Health and Healing, that science is king. We're not just some wackos. We believe that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have the ability the ability the ability the ability the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoomorrow thoomorrow the thoom. the the thoom. the the the the thoom. the thoom. thoom. th. th. the 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 th. th. th. th. tho-co-comet. tho. tho. to to tho. too too too too too too too too too tr too too too too. tho tho tho tho tho. We believe that we have the ability to save humanity from suffering and disease. That's why it's important to validate our beliefs and today we've got an honest, an actual honest to God chemist on the show. YouTube sensation, the mind, face and body behind explosions and fire. It's Bomb Vivant, Tom. Should we all be drinking bleach? Yes. Oh, I do it! And then I'll just, I'll leave after that.

That's it, that's fine. Take my check. Yep. Thank you. I knew, this is not a paid spot. Hello. Hey, thanks for having me on here to spruke quack cuers. Oh well, I use quack in the complimentary term.

Oh yes. We all love, we're just talking about swans on our last episode. Swans don't quack. Notorious quackers, yeah. No, we believe in, we believe in honk cures around here. Honk medicine, yeah. We're on that honk-hong shit. It almost seems like another time, right, like when people were like telling you to go drink bleach to cure everything? Like a more innocent, just like more nakedly evil time? Yeah. And then it, I feel like what killed it was it got too mainstream?

Like, remember, Donald Trump was even mentioning it? Yeah. Do you think people were genuinely disappointed when people were like, oh, now other people are going to try the miracle cure? Like, it's just... It's too popular. I have to choose something more niche and more harmful. More... Yeah.

Ah, fuck, it's back to Cloyodal Silver. Yeah. I always got that one in my back pocket. Yeah. 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, 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 th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. the. the.... Yeah. Like going to family dinner and saying have you heard of this you know this cure and people say yes and you get really disappointed you're like yeah. This is no fun. Oh forget it must have taken the shine out for like a bunch of different conspiracy theories like when the Q&on stuff really took off of like going to your family dinner and being like oh it's actually an elite cabal of satanic pedophiles that are really well everyone's like. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. I I I I I I I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. the the the the their. Yeah. their. Yeah. their. Yeah. their. their. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. the. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah................................................................................................................................................... the. the. the. the everyone's like yeah. Yeah. You know we know and you like that. We've joined the fight against them. Yeah, by posting every day.

Yeah. The main thing you can. Parents love Facebook and they love just digesting whatever shit is sort of squirted on there. So like, I don't know. Is Q&O-N's still like a big thing right? like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they like they they they th. 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, th. th. th th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, the thi, the to, the the to to thi. to to to the to to to thi thi to thi thi the the the the the thi. We the still like a big thing, right? Like they haven't sort of. Is Elon Musk gonna be in Q&O? Is this what's happening now? Is this what's going down?

I think he has made intimations about like, you know, pedophiles at the top level and stuff. Yeah, some gentle flirting. But we got Jeffrey Epstein, right? We got him, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I don't know who the we is in that situation. Yeah, compromised to a permanent end. That one, I, that one was more of a drawer, I think. There's really, like, points on both sides.

I think it's, I think it's, I think itthe Q& on stuff like is properly mainstream now. I think it's stopped being a absolutely psycho-niche thing and now it's a like, you know, 30% of elected Republican members are like very publicly saying, oh for sure, this is real. Yeah. Make sure you kill Hillary Clinton. Yeah. I watched a Cardi B video. And she was drinking blood and eating babies.

Yeah. She should be drinking bleach. Yeah. She knows what's good for her. If you know what's good for you, you know what's good for you'd be drinking bleach. Yeah, I haven't seen Elon Musk talk about bleach drinking. We could get, I truly believe we could get it with some social engineering. Yeah. I reckon he could soft launch it via the worst meme you've ever seen.

Well, you just need to honeypot him, right? All you need is like a, uh, you make a Twitter account, you buy Twitter Blue and you just every day you say something you know that he'll agree with until you've gained his trust enough that you send him a meme that's like, ah, I think drinking, drinking bleach is bad and then it's the guy the yes face and he's saying, good. It's, no, it's, uh, it's, it's, uh, drinking two liters of water a day, Drake, looking, upset face. Uh, augmenting my drinking water with a little bit of bleach, Drake looking happy, face. Yeah, there it is. And it's got some water marks on it, for some reason.

Yeah, image flip. At the bottom, or whatever the fuck. And then, and then, of course, you get exactly what the the the the the you you you you you the you you you the you you you get the the the you get exactly the the bottom or whatever the fuck. Yep, and then of course you get exactly what you've been after the whole time, which is the reply from Elon Musk that says, Interesting, yeah. Um, I truly believe that if we gave the right information to cat turd to CIA handlers, we can kind of, he's the soft, he's the, uh, he's the Lee Harvey Oswald of this, of this situation.

We just gotta, we just gotta use him like the little puppet he is. We're gonna prime him, just right, you know? All right, so this is the show. Yeah, that's about it. It's not true, we've got segments. We've got two things. Threats to kill Elon tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thate, thate, thaten, thaten, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tho, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thattwo things, threats to kill Elon Musk. No, I would say actively waiting for him to kill himself. Let's not go too crazy here. Look, I'll meet you halfway. Call it an assisted suicide.

Yeah. Another draw on the board. God, when will we get a win? Waiting for a, waiting for Elon Musk to kill himself before zipping himself up into a suitcase inside a consulate somewhere. Oh God. Oh God. Bodies have been known to do that by the way. Yeah, it's a reflex that they have. It's when all the moisture starts leaving your body. It contracts and sometimes we'll grab a zipper. Oh truly one of life's great unsolved mysteries and another kind of mystery that we encounter regularly on this show is mysterious liquids. It's time for mystery liquid.

Mystery liquid. Can't tell what color it is with a slick oily sheen. What could it mean? Mystery Liquid, I see some goop that is forming a pool on the floor. Who is it for? I'm gonna taste the mystery liquid. I'm gonna taste the mystery liquid. There's a lot of mystery liquids on your show, Tom. Yes, yes, there is. That's most of chemistry. It's just like, this liquid is a a mystery and I'm either going to solve it or it's going to beat my ass.

Make me sad. I didn't, I'm not a chemistry buff. I don't know anything about any of the sciences. I was taken somewhat aback by how often tars seem to filter into. Yeah. I didn't think tar was... The arc of chemistry is long, but it bends towards tar. Yeah and I'm still uncertain whether it is just a me problem and everyone commenting is just really in on the joke and is sympathetic. They're like yeah this totally always happens to us too.

Yeah totally. This is what I love about your channel though. There's other channels on there like our beautiful boy Nile Red who is some sort of freakers, I understand, because all of his chemistry always goes well. Ethereal figure, yeah. Yeah, there's people like, is it stuff made here? The guy that, like he's like an everything engineer and he makes like a baseball that can only hit home runs. He makes a gun. He makes a rifle that can only make the shot that killed JFK and if you miss you get $100.

Finally science has cracked the mystery. Whereas on your channel top, what we learned is that life is pain. We're all born nude into this world. Nude and screaming and we stay that way for a long time. Life is suffering and then we die. Yeah that's that's it. Engineering is when it works and science is when it doesn't. Yeah. That's the distinction. Yeah. No, I wish things worked a little better. I really do. A lot of people say... They little better. I really do. A lot of people say, don't we all? They are, like I get comments like, oh, this was great.

I like seeing the values, but I think you should upload a success every now and that. Like you're keeping them all in their pocket. I'll look into it. I have been accused of not trying very hard in terms of like, maybe if you just, you know, for content. And I'm really not taking the piss here because I think the thing that I take from life and from your channel, but mostly from life is that just everything fucking sucks to do. Like everything is just a ball lake, right?

Like, have you tried doing anything, like part of my engineering degree, I had to wind a motor and you got to fucking wind this thing over and over and over and over and over and if it's got like these laminated wires and if any part of the like lamination cracks and it makes content contact with another one of the thousand windings that you're making the whole thing is fucked right and that's what it's like doing things just in general in life right like yeah If you do things, you're a mug. And it's fun in a sense, but also you're like, I'm having fun, but this sucks. Yeah. I don't, I'd be having more fun if this worked. Yeah. Yeah. This way, you guys, you guys got it wrong doing sciences. It's all about the arts. You get to pick when something's finished. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. That's. 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 the th. You th. You th. You get. You get th. You get th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And it's fun. And get to pick when something's finished. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Yep. Yep. I get partway through doing a nice drawing and then you go, that'll do.

It's right now. It's right. It's right. I'll look into it. Yeah. This story comes to us from the Appleton Post Crescent in Wisconsin. Melted butter spills into Wisconsin's Portage Canal during dairy plant fire. Yep. That'll happen. Another delicious accident. A dairy plant in Portage, Wisconsin went into a meltdown, just pretty literally, you know.

Yeah, they haven't fun with it. During a Monday night fire that spilled warmed butter into the historic Portage Canal. Fire crews with warm toast were dispatched at 9.15 p.m. to Monday to Associated Milk Producers Incorporated at 301 Brook Street in Portage, according to the Portage Fire Department. While first responders found heavy smoke and fire coming from the plant when they arrived, the primary obstacles to fighting the fire were heavy smoke and melted butter. Yeah. This is pretty much a, if you're a butter factory, this is a worst case scenario. This is like the train driving into the firework factory for you, right, right, right, 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, 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, factory, this is a worst case scenario. This is like the train driving into the firework factory for you, right?

Like as far as a chemical disposal situation goes? Do you reckon they've built it on the river on purpose? Yeah. Like if there's a melted butter flow, you know, it's like a lava flow, you know, you where it's like, oh, we build on the river. Yeah, nature's drain. Nature's drain. Unfortunately, some fish do live in it, but they'll be fine. If they, the puddle will go to the surface, so they just stay under and they're fine. Fishermen have reported an increasing deliciousness of whiting.

Kind of just cook them in the stream. Yeah. Every fish has been confid somehow. The fire started in a butter storage room at the plant, the fire department said. Oh no. I don't, I picture butter being stored in vats personally. I assume at some point it goes solid, right? Well yeah, yes.

Being in a bat is a transitory state for both butter and the people that fall into the vats I guess. I mean if you kept the vats warm it would stay as liquid the entire team. No, you're so right then. I'm trying to find out. Oh, okay. I'm seeing an image here of who's Googling butter storage room seeing what I could find. It seems to be a big cool room of some kind full of slabs of butter. It makes sense. Oh, I just call it a fridge. Yeah.

So I think they are describing a big fridge with all their butter in it. Not where I would expect the fire to start. No, fridge is. Traditionally the domain all their butter in it. Not where I would expect the fire to start. No, fridge is. Traditionally the domain of the cold. That's right. How'd that heat get in there? Get those hots out of here. Quick reversing our entropy.

The melted sweet cream was beginning to flow through the building as it heated up, slowing down fire. Do you think they were comically slipping around around around around around around. Absolutely. I would not. Are they just using figurative language to describe the butter? Are they calling butter sweet cream? Is that like an American bread situation? Are you putting sugar in your butter? Do you know about this, Tom? Do you know their American bread is sweet? Yeah, so I've heard. Are you put sugar in your butter? Are they they they they they they they they they they they they they've they're sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar in sugar? Are they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're putting. Are they're they're putting. Are they're put sugar. Are they're they're just. Are they're just. Are they're just. Are they're just. Are they're just. Are they're just. Are they're just. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're. Yeah, so I've heard. It's fucked up. I know, but I probably would enjoy it and that's what the fucked up thing about it is. I know, I know, I can't let them know. No, no. Is it the fruits of their hedonism are wonderful? Yeah. I'm sure that as the recently as 20 2021 some enterprising health food company started selling like non-caffinated butter.

Not interested. After several hours the fire was extinguished. No injuries were reported and local agencies are still determining the cause of the fire. Portage Fire Chief Troy Hazz said that although the melted butter had been quote 99% contained to the plant, some of the liquid spilled into the nearby portage canal a historic waterway. The spill was floating on top of the canal in an area about 30 by 20 twenty feet wide, Hart said. The fire department said that a hazmat team dealt with the mess in the canal by using boom absorbents, which I also used to control oil spills. Well, I think you could characterize this as an oil spill, right?

Melted butter. Yeah. Yeah. Are you close enough? Yeah. What do they count as milk? Milk solids. Yeah. I understand that you'd call in the hazmat team because this is a chemical spill, but also categorizing butter as a hazardous material, seems a little extreme. The guys wearing like the full asbestos suits or whatever, just like don't get the butter on you. Don't let's touch you. He's got the grippy socks as well. You wear the trampoline place. Well, safety first. I mean, it always depends on the scale, right? Like I'm envisioning, like, the scene

and the shining, except it's just all butter. Yeah, you know, that's 100 percent. And they are standing like a rock against the, against the wave of butter coming down, which is why I have to kind of question, what do do you think counts as 99% contained within the building? Is the butter where it should be or is it just like through the floor? All over the floor. Well they've put down some of those like the, you know, the beanbag snakes you put in front of your door to stop the wind from getting through. A couple of those soaking up the butter. It didn't fall down their historic masonry staircase. So I'll watch out for that one. I got to say, like, great if they have stopped the majority of this from going into the historic canal.

But I do not want to be the person who is in charge of cleaning up the butter factory because once it's out of the cool room and it's through all the hallways, it's in the kitchen, you know, it's in the admin area, maybe it's gone through some carpet. How the fuck are you cleaning that up before it starts to get pretty stinky. It's gonna go, it's gonna take a turn. Yeah. Like if I... If I they spilt th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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. It's th. It's, th. It's, th. th. th. th. th. th. tha, that, that, that, tha, tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thoooooooooooooooooo, tha, take a turn. Yeah. Like if, if I get in their bond back. If you spilled, if you spilled a, if you spilt a tall pint glass of delicious milk on the carpet in your living room, you'd be like, fuck. I'm moving house. Fuck. Yeah.

Fuck. This is gonna start to smell. Well, butter is way more shelf stable than milk is. I don't think it would smell that. I think it would be greasy forever. Yeah, and also it's not on the shelf anymore. Yeah, floor stable. It's carpet stable. Do you reckon they just redefine how greasy the building is meant to be? They're just like, oh it's a butter factory. Like the tours have always been this greasy. Yeah, it's fine based on our 2023 benchmark, so don't worry. Yeah. Looking through the fire codes.

Yeah, all right. These are all butter rooms now, I'm sorry. The entire building is sort of a wet room for butter. This is our historic butter storage facility. This to just change the vibe of the butter factory to like a Willy Wonka sort of thing. This is a slippery butter room. Why even the floor is butter. Giving everybody a bucket of unbutted popcorn as they enter the tour. Oh, don't worry. All it on any wall you like.

That's right. Delicious. Oh my goodness, these poor motherfuckers. The AMPI butter mess isn't nearly as big as the 1991 butterfire at the Central Storage and Warehouse Co in Madison. Never forget. Yeah, if we're ranking butterfires. Butterfire at the Central Storage and Warehouse Co in Madison. The notorious 1991 Butterfire. Yeah, if we were ranking Butterfires, it's always number one with a bullet, isn't it? But it does present similar environmental challenges.

Butter spills, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, can mimic the negative effects of petroleum-based oil spills like bad smells and damaged plants and animals. Oh, poor cormorant just covered in butter, looking sadly at the camera, single tear, rolling down its cheek. The Portage Canal, which was completed in 1876, has been a subject of a decades-long cleanup and restoration project by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Just every, every 10 years years it's full of butter.

It's like painting the Sydney Harbet Bridge. You've finished it. You gotta go back to the start, start scoop and butter again. You do it enough times, the animals adapt to it. They're like, no, the fish actually need the butter to survive now. This is the portage butterfish. Only place in the world you get this. In a statement released Thursday, the DNR said that about 20 gallons of butter made it into the canal during the fire and has since been removed with quite minimal impact. What's a gallon? Is that 4 liters? 3.7 liters. It's about 80 liters of butter.

As in 20 gallons is about it. In total, 20 gallons. Okay. Yeah. To cover a 30 by 20 foot square area, that's not as much butter as I would have thought. What's that in meters? I've seen more butter. We've got it.

We have to do the maths because now we know that 99% of it was contained in the facility. Oh, right. We now know how much butter this facility store. So that means it was 8,000 liters of butter, right? We can logically deduce in total? I guess so. Sorry, I'm not here to do crunch numbers. Yeah, you're not, that's not a ratio this guy. How much does butter weigh? That's an insane way to have asked that question.

So what are we... What are we figuring out here? Are we saying that 20 gallons of butter was 1% of the still butter? Yeah, right? So we divide that by... So 20 gallons is 75. It's 8,000 liters in total. What do you do? Yeah, sorry. Yeah, it's 8,000. All right, butter weighs 911 grams per liter, so with 8,000 tons of butter. Hang on, it's 80,000. No. No. This podcast is so good. It's 800,000. You know. I'm thousand. No. No. This podcast is so good. It's 800,000. Do you know how much? I think I got the zero's correct the first time. Seven tons of butter. It's one one to 99 ratio so we can just times it by 99. So you just times it by 100 that's not a ratio. Yeah, it's a ratio. One percent of it went into the creek. 99 percent of it stayed in the thing. That means that it's 99 times as much in there, 7,920.

It was 100 times as much. No, it's not. Can we're looking at the total number of butter. Oh, total including the stuff. Yeah, it's 8,000. I'm out. Is that a a a a a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thioliolioliol. thiol. thiol. thiol. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that'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's, it's, it's, it's thi. I'm done. I'm out. Is that a lot of butter? I think that's, I mean, that's, I mean, that's, it's more than I've ever had in my house. I'll say that. Yeah. Yeah. It's more than I've ever used in my life, I'm willing to say. I will go the record and say I have not used 700 tons of butter. I don't know. I've thi. I've tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that tho tho tho tho-a. I'm tho-I tho tho tho-I tho-I tho- I'm 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 tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that that that that that that that that tho. I'm that tho. I'm that tho-a. I'm tho-a. I'm tho-a. I'm tho-a. I tho-a. I'm tho-a. I'm that tho lot of butter on the time. I fucked it up, seven tons of butter. Seven tons. Yeah, in my lifetime.

I don't think I've used a ton. If you can estimate how much butter you've used in your life, right into us at Mailbag at Punta Vista.com. Most of the butter that left the plant traveled to a local wastewater treatment plant, which has been operating normally. Yeah, they got those butter safeguards in place. We've been waiting for this day, gentlemen. Yes, planning. Two guys turning the two keys at the same time, engaging the butter protocol. They're all good.

Oh dear folks, when you look around the waterway and you see a group of sad cormorants slicked down with butter, that's a bad sign. And we cover many bad signs in our segment, Omen's and Portents. You shall see hail fall from a clear sky and burn his fire upon the ground. You shall see darkness cover Egypt when the sun climbs high to noon and you shall know that God is God. Bow down to his will. Just quickly what what you're drinking there Tom looks like you're drinking a big glass of blood.

Oh blood this is the mystery liquid. It's, it's a Coke no sugar vanilla and it definitely tastes like it's the no sugar vanilla. I'm gonna say, it's that it's certainly a mystery liquid. Yeah, we don't need to go into the insane Coke mixtures that other people on this show enjoy, so... No, that would be absolutely so I hear you guys talking about LA ice? No earlier? No, no. Yeah, you do it. I have gone many years of my life not hearing the appreciation that LA ice deserves. Yeah, my gosh. What a drink are you going LA ice over RC cola? Oh, that's a tough one. Yes, I think. I think it's worth the extra 10 cents or whatever the difference is. You know, you'll occasionally see the vending machines that have LA ice instead of the Coca-Cola

products and they look ancient and busted as fuck? Where are you seeing these vending machines? They're always like 25 years old, completely faded by the sun and like attached to decrepit servos or whatever. Is that like the Loganly train station or something? The one remaining place. They're like the vending machine version of when you see a bus driving around with an ad for a movie that came out nine years ago? Yeah, I find it like the older the vending machine is the more appealing it is to me, which I feel like is the opposite of what should happen happen th th th. the th. the th. the th. the th. the th. the thi thi the thi thi the thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, the the the the thi. the thi. the thi. the thi. the thi. Like, the the the thi. Like, the the thi. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like find it like the older the vending machine is, the more appealing it is to me, which I feel like is the opposite of what should happen. Absolutely, I think button feel is going downhill on vending machines.

Oh my God, the little, I don't want the little keypad, foot, pay pass thing like that. You want that big button that you can slam with your palm. I want so many clunks to happen in the process of getting my beverage. It's not going to be fizzed right if it didn't fall four foot from from the shelf into the container. They actually have a mechanism that they store the drinks at the bottom, they launch it up to the top and then it comes back down into the shoot. All right so you got the old vending machine where it's the big big panel on the front, the nice ta the the the the th is thin, thin, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thi, the thi, the the the the thi, the the the the thi, their tho, thin, thin, their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, toolipe, tool, tool, tool, they's they's they's they's they's they's they's the nice tactile buttons on the side, you put your coins in, you select your thing, you hear a series of clunks and you can comes out the bottom. You pull your coin out using the string. Oh, importantly, an important consideration if we're talking about the best vending machine,

which I don't know if this is where you very well stocked and I type in 31 and it decides to give me 33 instead because it's the same product I don't like I want I want the control back yeah what what they say from the 31 for that's yeah why did you give me the choice the good one yeah then you've got all the way up to the far too futuristicistic and bad version like've got all the way up to the far too futuristic and bad version. Like have you seen the, um, there's like doors in some places where the whole door is just a screen like for a fridge and they have the products that are inside instead of just having a clear panel and showing you what's in there? I feel, I feel manipulated by that like I'm you know

Brain dead in a in a bed somewhere and people are trying to kind of recall the same thoughts I had from my youth or something right like Look you're looking at bottles inside of this fridge? Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember when this was real? But then we've got the vending machine that's kind of in the middle of these right? We're incorporating a bit of futuristic technology robots but you got the clear glass on the front yeah you punch in the thing that you want and then the robotic level goes up and the thing comes along and it fetches your coke from that level and carries it down and gently delivers it to the shoot at the bottom. What do we think of those?

No, more clunks. I need a really strong mechanical action that's largely from springs. I like the, uh, I like the inherent, uh, risk and danger in getting one of the ones that has like the, the big spiral. The spiral that turns and decants your things, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, 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, and, th, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, and, thi, thin, thin, and, thinks, thinks, and, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, and, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, the ones that has like the spiral, the spiral that turns and decants your thing because there's always a chance it won't get off the end of the spiral. Those have kept me away from the pokey's I think. That teaches a valuable lesson about gambling to chill jam. If 50% of the time you actually get your novice nuts, is it worth it?

The house always wins. I got thoroughly f I th. I th th thu I thu I the thu. I thu. I got thu. I got thu. I got thu. I got thu. I got thu. I got thu- I got thu- I got thu- I got tho- I got tho- tho- tho- that thu- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi---------s thi---s. thi-s. thi-s. tho'-s. tho'-s. tho'-s. tho'-s. thoo'ereeanananananeded-s. tho'ererananananed-I's thaned-I got thoroughly fucked by a claw machine like two days ago, right? So I'm at an arcade with one of my kids and she's like, hey, there's a claw machine over there with a pushine in it. Oh, so the little fat cat that we all love. You want to have a crack at that bad boy. And we've come to an understanding, me and her, over the years, that the claw machine is a gamble. When you try the claw machine, there is no guarantee that you're getting anything out of it, right? And I say, okay, I have five goes at this claw machine. Each time I successfully get the pushing, it is carried all the way up to the top in the claw.

Which then just drops it straight back down. It's been clasped, it's been carried all the way up. As soon as it starts to move towards the shoot, the movement shakes the thing free. And I was like, I don't know what to tell you. I feel like I've done everything right here today. Yeah, you know what? It's like this claw machine as a consequence-free money-making machine. Place here to- It's like that.

Do you reckon they have a minimum rate of return like pokey's do? They can't, surely. But they also can't be a machine that just takes you money and never gives you anything because that would or should be illegal. Yeah, I imagine that was the case. Yeah, it's not actually a claw machine that's just a poke pushin torture simulator. Yeah, that's a child. You get to distress the pushing in the cage, in in in in in in the cage, in the cage, in the cage, in, the cage, the cage, in, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, in, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the cage, the the the, to, the to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, to, to, to, the, to to, the the the the the the the thure, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, threath., threathomo, threathomorrow, thoomorrow, toge, toge, toguu. Yeah, thoomorrow, the, cage. They know they like it. This is... So we go back over to the counter to put some credit for the video games onto a card because you cannot use coins in an arcade game anymore. We live in a

terrible future you know and my seven-year-old is talking about how the claw machine is full of shit at the counter. She's like, yeah, you know, I mean, it's like they're just set up to trick you because you got that thing. I was like, hey, I grabbed that thing a whole bunch of times. But then, I was very concerned that the teenage girl behind the counter would think that I was merely trying to say face. I was maybe angling for a free push-in so I had to declare, hey we all understand the nature of the claw machine which got a knowing and sage nod from the girl who works at the arcade. Live by the, live by the claw, you know. Exactly. I hope I do. That's how I want to go. That's how I want to go. the the the the to go. to go. to go. to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go. I 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 go to go to go to go to go.

So this omen comes to us from WLTX in South Carolina, Newbury County residents concerned by quote blood dumps and quote in the road. Yeah. Hmm. What's the opposite of Selador? I understand the concern there I think I empathize with that as a position. Frustrated residents in Newbury County have begun questioning an unusual site in their community, blood in the road, and what some describe as protein and others simply call, quote, guts. Hmm.

Yeah, they're right to question. They live in fucking Silent Hill. silent hill. Oh, and while the cause may be less disturbing than it initially sounds, and to be fair it does initially sound pretty disturbing. Some residents say it's becoming annoyingly more common. Isn't that your reaction? Like rather than, uh, yeah, concern, I'm, I'm annoyed. And how often I'm having to hose the underside of my car. Quite, initially I thought it was an accidental spill. It's been going on for two months now, said resident Ron McHugh. So that's not, it's not longer an event, it's a phenomenon at this point.

It's becoming routine. He said that these blood spills have been ongoing for too long and have become a concern for him. What's an appropriate amount of time for the blood spills to carry on in your neighborhood do you think? Oh, three more weeks and I'm going to get real mad. Yeah, unlike the phrasing there, become a concern. Like it wasn't initially. It was fine. It was fine. Okay, sometimes there's mystery, blood and guts on the road for several weeks at a time, but if it goes on, yeah, I will become concerned. Yeah, you've gone from peaked interest to concerned.

I'll be raising the number of signatures on a petition that is legally required to raise this at the local council and we're going to be asking no more blood. No more mystery blood. If. Please. If you can. If you can. No worries if not. Quote, there was blood and guts all over the roads, and it's happened multiple times since, he added. News 19 went to Newbury County on Friday and found one of these spills.

Hey, that's journalism. Hey, if someone tells you there's blood out That's a journalism. That's a journalist. That's a journalist. That's a journalist. I'm really picturing. I'm really picturing that they've pulled up on the road. Taking a good look at it and they've all gone. Yep. This is actually becoming a recurring theme in these in these segments. Because in a prior one, there was a smell that blanketed Salt Lake City and this

journalist, the whole article was like driving around, no, it was like someone from the council that they talked to had driven around the entire town trying to triangulate the smell and they're like, well, it's coming from everywhere. Yeah. I believe that even the mayor engaged in driving around trying to identify the smell. However, this is a very different situation and this is like when you see a paint trail that has clearly come from a painter's truck. They've sprung a little leak. And you can see from start to finish so you just got to follow it in the correct direction back to. 50 50 odds. Yeah. Oh wait no you can probably tell from the side of to the the the to the road the road the road the road to to the road to the road to the road to th th th th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of th correct direction back to... 50-50 odds. Yeah.

Oh wait, no, you can probably tell from the side of the road that it's on. Yeah. I would imagine. Yeah, that's correct. Unless they've driven on the incorrect side to throw us off the track. Oh, you'd definitely be able to older one, it's going to dry out, it's going to turn black, it's going to get stinkier, whereas if it's, you know, if it's still wet and more... Yeah, we all know one. Yeah, but...

By your fifth blood spill, you're acquainted with it. We've all seen a pile of blood and guts dry out, I think. Quite. It's really gotten bad in the last four to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to to to to the the thiiiiolk, thiolk, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's. Quote, it's really gotten bad in the last four to six weeks, Sheriff Lee Foster said. It's picked up a little bit more each week. What? Hey, knock it off. Foster said, he thinks there may have been a change in the company that transports the material. Now just as a little refresher for the last five to six minutes of the podcast at no point in this story has the specific origins of the material the origins or the nature

have been discussed I have not trimmed anything from this article. They know how to sell the sizzle and it works for a show so. Thank you. Thank you. So Ben. Ben. Ben. Ben. th, Ben. th, Ben, Ben, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, just, just, No, no, they know how to sell the sizzle and it works for Earth's show, so... Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. So, Ben, yeah. Now you say that you haven't taken anything out of this article, but up the top of the article. Well, I'm just noting up to top of the article, they say, while the cause may be less the the the the th is th is th is thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, that, that, that, that, that, that, that that, thi, thrown, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, the, the, the, the, the, the. So, the. So, that, that, the. So, that, that, the. So, the. So, the. So, the strongly implying that they are going to identify the cause of the gun. And also that the cause sucks.

Break it that away. Yeah. He added that they have since been able to track down the vehicle. the vehicle that spilled the waste and issued multiple tickets. Boo. It was a vehicle. They followed that. Yeah. That answers that question.

It was a car that was bleeding. It was a car from the cars universe. Turns out the bone wagon that come to time. Someone gut shot Lightning McQueen. He said, quote, that truck has been taken out of service because it's not in appropriate condition to carry that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the the type type type type type type type type type type type type type type type type type type, that truck has been taken out of service because it's not in appropriate condition to carry that type of product. The sheriff said, I'm imagining just like a Toyota Hylux, uncovered rear tray filled to the brim with blood vissera. Yep. Every time you've got

to put the brakes on, splush. You take off from the lights a little bit fast, splush, you know? Next thing you know, you're turning up at the place you're meant to be dropping it off. Hey, you're missing 30% of the guts. You gotta go back and get topped up. Ooh, I better speed away and get some more blood guts. It's a terrible problem. At least it's a Ute though. That's, I feel like that's responsible. You know, you can't store it in a boot. They're not just whacking it in the...

Yeah, it's not like how you move red roost and chickens around. No, no. Such a loose red roost of chickens in the boot. Much like the spilled the bode. Much like the spilled the boot once you're done there I think. You can put down... Yeah you can put down like a plastic bag or whatever but then I think once you have loaded your boot with with loose, loose blood and guts, it's kind of over for that. Well you guys know how you've got two cars right? You got your car for you know driving around doing errands and stuff

and you've got the blood and guts car. Yeah, you sort of sacrificial 97 Camry where it doesn't really matter. It makes sense. A lot of the cars you see driving makes a lot of sense to say, oh, that's probably their blood and guts car. That's the sort of the viscera weakender that they have. You go to hop into passages see it, they're like they're like they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, thi, tho, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, that, that, that, that, togoge-s, toge-s, toge-s, toge-s, toge-s, thi, to hop into passages see it, they're like, ah, just kick that out of the way. Just squeegee that off. I haven't cleaned this thing in ages. The flies will move for you.

The sheriff said, I don't consider it to be harmful to humans. But it makes a mess and is a traffic hazard. So it's greasy, messy, messy, and it really is the and it is th. And it is really, and it is really is really is really is really is really. And it is really is really. And it is really is a th. And it is a th. And it is a th. And it is a thi. And it is a thi. And it is a the the the the the the the the. the the thi. the. the. the the that. that it to be harmful to humans, but it makes a mess and is a traffic hazard. So, it's greasy, messy, and it really is a big deal. I feel like he's really kind of, he's just really not engaging with the fact that it is blood and guts. Yeah. Yeah. What about it's gross? It's yucky. It is yucky. What about the ick factor? I'll back that. Ew. Still, the sheriff says he's quote, not optimistic that the situation is over. But I'm optimistic that a message has been sent and we will continue to look into it. He added. Hey, try and keep your blood and guts, uh, inside. Inside the car.

Please. My goodness. What are they doing? Are they just transporting it around? That... Just for the five of it, I think. Yeah, just for yucks. Okay. There's just, there's no mystery there. It's like, oh of course. Well, it's not mysterious to the townspeople apparently. It might be mysterious to us. Yeah, who are unfamiliar with their ways. Maybe we just we just don't notice it, you know, the blood and guts industry runs unnoticed here. We're the weird ones. Yeah, they just get an Uber or air tasker. Yeah, blood and guts removal. We've, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've the weird ones. Yeah, yeah, they just get an Uber or air tasker, blood and guts removal. We've just learned to unsee them like the, like the city in the city. Yeah.

Just paint the roads red, it's fine. A little bit later. Oh boy. It's true. We do not really understand the mind of the perverted American. And that's why we try every now and then to take a look at what they're doing and understand their psychology a little bit better. It's time for America. Watch. Wait, what? What? What's the fucking blood and guts?

What? That's not your business. You don't have to know everything. Yeah. I'm Mr Curious over here. What? It's probably stopped. It may be stopped. Except the sheriff doesn't think it will.

The sheriff's not confident that it's stopped, but... Is this a joke transition or are we going on? No, that's the end of the story. What is the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the end of the story. That is the story as it's written. That's it, sorry. The good people at WLTX decided that's all you need to know. And they're right. Yeah. It's not good to know too much.

Now, Tom is that good? Is that good? No. This really deviates from my early opening of the episode where I really went into the quack set. Righton, yeah. No, you're discerning. It's not even cool to be a quack cure anymore.

It was like in, in like the 30s or 20s or something. They were like, yeah, radon, radioactivity is good for you actually. And then they took one look at Hiroshima. You know what? Yeah. Scratch that. But after they let all those women paint those watchfaces for, yeah, yeah. For like 10 years first. And then they're like, yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, 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, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that all those women paint those watchfaces for like 10 years first. And then they're like, hey, wait a damn second.

Hang on. Hmm. We should have looked into this. You get the work done and then you look into it and then you realize, ah, the deaths. Holy fuck these watches glow in the dark. I'm sorry about your jaw. In 1972, they got everyone to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to to to to to to they got everyone to stop smoking their radioactive cigarettes and they're going natural cigarettes from now on. It's a silent killer in many Iowa homes.

Radon is a gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil, an element that is unfortunately abundant in Iowa. Hang on. Far. Yeah, does anyone have an explanation for this? Because there's no one in the article, why is there so much uranium in Iowa? Do you know anything about geologic chemistry, Tom? No.

What happens in the ground? Tell me right now. Is a mystery that we shouldn't know, honestly. I feel like as people we shouldn't know what the ground is doing. That's a very, that's a very strong opinion. Um, yeah, there's, I mean, there's a lot of uranium everywhere. It's just, it's, I mean, maybe just where I live, and the government just says, oh, there's lots of uranium everywhere, you know. It's normal.

We strip most of it out of the ground water, just don't drink it. Yeah, we get all the bits that are sort of all clumped together in one spot. And that's about... That's about as much as we can do. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's mining. That's that's that's that's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining. That's mining.

Yeah. And that's the easy way to do it now. It's fine. It's the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the National Cancer Institute. So it's like, it's like 2% of lung cancers then.

It's just like after smoking and then it's like a huge drop. Got to find something else. Yeah. after smoking and then it's like a huge drop. And then it's like, oh yeah, radon. Yeah. Quote, Radon is a radioactive product, so when it enters your home, it's trapped inside the building. A normal occupant is forced to breathe it, and once you breathe it in, it's the decay particles that come in with a radon

gas that are what's harmful and your body can't absorb the particles. Hang on, sorry, just, I know we've been through this. Where is the radon coming from the ground? From the ground. The radon is inside the house. Are they living in that very brief Simpsons treehouse of Horrors bit where it's the gas that turns everybody inside out and that's just Iowa? Yep, that's just Iowa. Yep, that's just Iowa. Yeah, I mean most of it is like building construction because there would be way more radon here in Australia

but we don't have cellars and and make it of all of course we don't live under the ground like mole people. Yeah so it's like the Simpsons basement I think you know where they just go down and it's just creepy basement that changes between episodes or whatever. There's no fixed geometry, but they also don't have a radon detector. I don't know, I haven't watched recent episodes. Homer probably gets a radon detector, season 38 or whatever. I mean, it's a tick-toc dance with it. It's a, it's strongly implied that Homer himself is very radioactive, isn't it?

Oh, I guess so. Him and Mr Burns both glow in the dark on various occasions. Yeah, so maybe radon, maybe he's producing the radon, maybe. Maybe. These particles are not big enough to where you can expel them back out, so they kind of damage your lungs, and that's what causes the cancer over long periods of time. Central Iowa Raidon Operations Manager Dan Weber said. Yeah, it's a bad sign when your state's got one of those.

I mean this does sound very bad, but it is nice to finally understand why slip not looks like that. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, 71.6% of Iowa homes have a radon level above the EPA threshold of 4PCI slash L. What's that? Someone help me out here. Pico curies. Yeah, that's a measure of radiation. Four pico curies per later. Yeah. Is that a lot? No, it's not a lot.

Quote, Radon does not get the attention it deserves, simply because people don't know it's in the home, but it's a silent killer, Weber said. Well you would say that if you were the Central Iowa Radon operations manager. You'd want people to think Radon was a big deal. If you were Mr. Radon. Despite the alarming facts of Radon's danger and prevalence in Iowa, it's easy to test for and mitigate. Testing takes about two days. Homeowners can have a professional come out and conduct the test or use an at-home test kit. At-home kits are available at home improvement stores,

such as the Polk County Public Works Department. Weber said people should test every two years. The best time to test is during the winter months. Oh, perfect. Right now. If you are an Iowa listener, please test your home for radon. Yeah. Is there any tips about what to do about it, or you just test and you see I've got high radon and they go, okay. Yeah, time to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move to move out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out their their their their their their their got high radon and they go, okay. Yeah, time to move out of Iowa.

Yeah, I think what happens is you get the test results and then you say, oh no. Yeah, that's about the end of it. Yep. Companies like Central Iowa Radon can install a radon mitigation system to bring levels below the EPA threshold. because that's what you're going for really is you just want to be complied. Houses with those systems should still test every two years according to Weber. January is National Radon Action Month. Oh do something about it I guess if you can. Yeah. Like move out of Iowa. To your chance. Once a year, we will remind you, you should not be living in this state.

Oh my goodness. I mean, it's nice, it's, if your local council or something is telling you about radon, it's actually a sign that everything else is going fine. You know, the fact that they have to go to the silent killers rather than the very loud and obvious killers. Like the other council is talking about blood and guts in the street, they probably have a radon problem, but are they going to get to it, you know? They're not not not not going not going not going not going not going not to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to their their their their to to their to their to to to to to to to to to to to to their their tho tho tho tho tho tho tho-a. tho-a. tho-a, tho-a, tho-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. their th. th. thii. thi. thi. thi. tha-s. tha-s. tha-s. tha-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa'-sa-sa-s. tha-s. they going to get to it, you know? They're not going to talk about the radon. I assume as well, if it's levels where they tell you about it, is probably a better sign

than if they don't, because I assume it's one of those things where if it's really, really bad, it's like one mining company or whatever really fucked the state state to keep it hushed up. If your state doesn't have National Radon Action Month, you're dying. Yeah, there was a Reddit, I think it was a Reddit post, someone saying, oh, I got my radon detector and it was like really, really high. And they were like, oh, my roommate has this antique watchman collection. Yeah, and like, oh God. Yeah, and it's like, it is filling your house with a radioactive

gas. Please, please consider talking to your roommate, you know, bring it up. It's basically like a worst case scenario for a roommate. Yeah. Hey, I know with me. Yeah. I'm gonna go to, gonna go to Strider about this. Don't want to be a negative Nelly, but we've talked about the radioactive gas that's filling the house. I was planning on having children at one point. Now I'm not saying that it's definitely you, but I'm pretty sure it's none of us. We've checked.

Leaving my passive aggressive rate-on test results around the apartment. Yeah. Yeah. Leaving my passive aggressive radon test results around the apartment. Yeah. It's still high, eh? Yeah. It takes two days to test, you know that? In two days testing us. Folks, doing a test and finding out that there is too much radon in your house.

It's the one thing you didn't want to happen. It's the one thing you didn't want to happen. This is the one thing we didn't want to happen. This week's the one thing we didn't want to happen comes to us from the BBC. Doncaster Surgery sends cancer text instead of festive message. Oops. No. We had a little oopsie with the soundboard. A GP surgery accidentally told patients that they had aggressive lung cancer instead of

wishing them a Merry Christmas. That shouldn't be the binary of of the two things. Oh, those are the two kinds of message we have. Oops, some people get both, you know. What order do you send them in? Do you send the festive message and then the aggressive cancer? Or do you open with the aggressive cancer and say, you know, enjoy it. I feel like you're, Merry Christmas.

By the way, all the good work of the Merry Christmas message with the cancer one. But then it would ring hollow doing it the other way around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm more dangerous. Just wait another day. Wait until they're hung over January 1st. You have aggressive lung cancer and have a Merry Christmas.

Asker and medical practice sent the text message to people registered with the surgery in Doncaster on the 23rd of December perfect timing. Sarah Hargreaves who was waiting for medical test results said she quote broke down when she received the text only to to later be told it was sent in error. Yeah, understandable, I guess. Oopsies. Gotta spend a couple of days dealing with your extremely more fragile mortality than you're expecting.

Yeah. And they had a little sowy, little oops. The group which runs the surgery said, nobody was available for comment. Anyone want to field this one? No? Nope. We're all on leave. Surely, surely they had a reply, like a response take, a follow-up text. Like, they surely didn't leave that and like, just go, oh, and like you find out from the press release, you know, in January that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that leave that and like just go, oh and like you find out from the press release,

you know, in January that, oh actually this text was a fake. Surely that the GP are like sending. I'm trying to give them benefit down here. Look if they're that concerned, they're called us. And then they say, hey, no, actually you don't. Or do they just go, oh we've sent out the wrong text now we'll let the newspaper are going to be pleased here. Oh yes, this is...

The group which runs the surgery said nobody was available for comment, the center has almost 8,000 patients. The first text told recipients they had, quote, aggressive lung cancer with metastases. A second, a type of secondary malignant growth. It directed patients to fill out a DS 1500 form which allows people with terminal diseases to claim certain benefits. Jays. Merry Christmas. However, about an hour later, people received a second text telling them it was an error and it was meant to wish them a Merry Christmas instead.

An hour is... It's too long. It's still too long, isn't it? It's a real like, Po'Body's Nerfix kind of follow-up. I got a, I got an email a little while ago from the, from the company that I do contracting through, right? And it said, hey, there is a role that would be perfect for you. We have identified based on your skill set that you could do this job.

And I went, all right, and I opened it up and it said, we have a job putting chocolate bars into boxes in a factory. Ooh. And I said, hey, no offense to anybody working in the chocolate bar factory, but I have a different set of skills. Um, I think I could do it, I think I could do it with some training. Oh, you think you could be, you reckon you could do the chocolate bar factory job? You know what? That is exactly what my wife said in exactly that tone of voice. Yeah, yeah. Ella and I same page. Oh you think you'd last a day in the putting chocolate bars into cardboard boxes factory. And I said... I think I could do it. I think I could get over the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the chocolate do do do do do do do do do do do the chocolate do the chocolate do do do do do do do the chocolate do the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. the ch. Do the chocolate the chocolate the chocolate. Do. I could do. I could do. I could do. the chocolate bar. the chocolate bar. their. their. the chocolate bar. their. the chocolate. their. the chocolate. the chocolate. the chocolate. their. the putting chocolate bars into cardboard boxes factory. And I said, another thing coming, Buckley. I said, I think I could do it.

I think I could get over the learning curve. And I think I could do it. And then like the next day, my boss at work went, hey, did you get an email from the agency that we both work for? And I said, yes. He said, yes. I too was told that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would that I would th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi think I could thi think I could think I could thi.

I think. think think. thi think. I think. I think. think. think I thi. I thi. I th. I th agency that we both work for and I said the chocolate factory and he said yes. Are you going for it as well? He said I too was told that I would be well suited to work at the chocolate bar factory. Anyway I took the job you're now the boss. So we we both surmised from this that somebody has accidentally sent an email to every candidate who works through these people, that they would be well suited for the chocolate bar job.

And then we all got an email, you know, 12 hours later or whatever saying, uh, there has been an error. There's been an error. We accidentally sent this thing out. We're very sorry about that. We're looking into our systems to see what happened and to make sure that none of your personal data has been breached which everybody has to say now due to all of the recent large-scale data breaches. That's okay my data is already being breached multiple times now. I'm free. I'm passing it out. It's fine.

Just let me know if there's any more of my data that you would like. But like you know there's any more of my data that you would like. But like, you know, that's a bit funnier than being told that you have like terminal aggressive lung cancer. And... I'd say if we are... Most things are. If we're to rank them. Even this podcast, somewhere underneath. I mean that being said, you didn't take the job at the chocolate bar factory. It's always always always always always always always always like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like that it would be that that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th th be th be that's a that's a that's a that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 thi the the the the the that's a that's a the take the job of the chocolate bar factory.

It's always those jobs that you think like it could be whimsical and it will be the hardest job you've ever worked in your life. They'll be like yes you just need to put chocolate into boxes 800,000 times a day. It comes out boiling hot by the way. Yeah and if you go in a bathroom break once. Yeah, that's the kill you with a gun It's it for you Mrs. Hargreaves who was the lady from earlier in the article waiting for medical test results said that she

received the original text while she was out shopping and she quote felt sick to my teeth and broke down How do your teeth feel sick? This is new to me. It's it's it's sick to the teeth you know so it's like until the teeth. Yeah everything shy of the teeth. Yeah teeth are teeth of the barrier really that stop the pain. So just shy of a nose-to-tail situation. Yeah, so not that bad. She said, I felt sick everywhere including my teeth. Yeah, so you know it's no good. She added, I had just had a mole removed and was awaiting a result from a biopsy and I had been to hospital as my smear test came back abnormal so yes I was very worried. Despite repeated calls to the surgery she said she struggled to get through to speak to

someone. Carl Chegwin, another of the surgery's users who along with his mother received the text said he was left upset by the out of the blue message which was quote enough to break someone. The first thing I thought was, is this some kind of sick joke? Mr. Chegwin said. It completely took me by surprise. It's not often I go to the doctors, then out of the blue, it's cancer.

I'm sat there scratching my head thinking, I do smoke, do they know something I don't? Oh, boy. Oh, boy, boy. Gosh. I'm wondering about that hour. If you haven't been to the doctor in like nine months and you get this message, you're assuming it's a mistake, right? I'm also wondering about that hour in between sending the message and sending the second message? Like, what were they doing during that hour?

Do you think they'll just sit and they're going to notice? Do you reckon they'd they'd they're they're they're noticed they're noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed they noticed. just straight away or do you reckon they had to go to lunchroom and they're chatting they're like oh I've got the worst Christmas ever I had to let 8,000 people know that had aggressive cancer. It would really take it out of you're like man everyone I can't believe everyone at this doctor surgery had to let him know they all had cancer and aggressive too what are the odds yeah wait a damn second I had to let one person know, Merry Christmas. Do you reckon that means one person wasn't an error?

They're like, everyone else's was a joke except yours. Yeah. Or. That one person's like, well, makes sense. Yeah. Check your rate on levels, people. Once every two years. Once every two years. Once every two years. Oh dear.

Quote, they've just told people a few days before Christmas they've got terminal lung cancer. They can't do that. End quote. That's illegal. Tim Robinson getting the news. Meanwhile, a woman who asked not to be named said she was left feeling, quote, very worried, end quote, about the text with family members recently having tests about ongoing chest issues.

Quote, I rang the doctors but on hold as usual. So I walk round as I live around a corner and there were, I'd say, six people all they're panicking as they got the same text. Now, again, I think, I think. I. I their their their their their think, I their their their their their their their their the as they got the same text. Now again I think if I walk around the corner of the doctor and there's half a dozen people all saying I have received an unexpected text message telling me that I have aggressive lung cancer despite there being no indications of otherwise I don't think it would take me that long to kind of deduce what had happened right. you don't thin thi thi thi, again th. th- th- thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi- thi- the- thi thi thi- the- the- the. Again the. Again tho- their again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-s-c-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s. thc-s. thc-s. thc-s. thc-s-I thc-I thc-I't think it would take me that long to kind of deduce What had it happened, right? You don't think all of them are saying we're all shocked to learn

Six is too easy. I think you'd pick it then, but if it's like one or two maybe three You would be on the fence you'd be like what are the chances? Well, better make good now. Better make my piece with the maker. That's right. The second text apologized for the error, with some patients getting repeat messages from the surgery. Quote, what if that message was meant for someone, and then they are told it's a Christmas message and then they are again told, oh no, that was actually meant for you, Mr. Chequemann asked.

Feel like they could call that person. Maybe pick up the phone. Give them a little bit. Hey, uh, it's... You know how everyone else got that fake message? Well, I've got good news and bad. It is genuinely surprising to me that they would inform people of this via text because my entire experience with doctors and everyone I know is that when you have some test results they say your test results are in come in and discuss them. Come on down. Yeah that's a bit we've been missing. Why would they text this in the first place? Why not send Christmas cards? Why would they text this in the first place?

Why not send Christmas cards? Why would they send Christmas text? That's tacky. Send the Christmas card. How are you going to put a candy cane in a text? One of those like 10 cent horrible pieces of shit. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, I would not like to receive that information via text. Because like, even if you get a test result and the test result is,

oh, nothing's wrong and it's totally fine, they still say, hey, we will talk to you about it on the phone or in person, right? What's going on over there in England? Get it together. All right, they'll fix it now. They're like, yeah, shit. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The Buon of Vista guys. Woking them up. If you are, if you had terminal cancer and would prefer to be notified via text, write into mail bag at Buntavista.com and dispute this assertion of mine.

I feel like they can't fucking tell you anything over text here. I've had like doctor's appointments where like we need you to come in to discuss your test results and it's so that they can be like, you're fine. Yeah. Yeah. And like it absolutely still make, it's like when your boss says, hey, have you got a minute? And you go, oh, fuck, I'm fired. I'm fired. I'm fired. No matter what's going on or what's been, they might have talked to you three days ago about how you're doing really well and you're getting a several awards. several awards but if your boss says hey are hey you got a minute just for a quick chat a big part of your brain will light up and say oh he's gonna tell

me I have aggressive lungs that's right yeah yeah except from the doctor I'm just sitting there going like just tell me if my hole's normal or not yes is this fine will this do what does this emo this to this emoji mean I know is the he upside-down smiley-face good or bad? I don't know, he's smiling, but he's upside-down. If your doctor said you're a good- You're a mess. Oh, well folks, that is all we have time for today. Tom, where can people find you and your various goings on online?

Alright, so I'm on YouTube if you want to subject yourself to some videos. And you should. Okay, yeah. Um, I'm hyping it up here. I'm still thinking about lung cancer my God, sorry. Yeah, no, explosions of fire, I make videos occasionally and I, yeah, that's, this is the one bit I could have prepared and I didn't do it. We got all the time in the world, go for it. All right, yeah, no, that's, that's about it. I've got a Twitter and it's, um, I post interesting thoughts. No, they're not interesting thoughts. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But.

No, they're not interesting thoughts, but I definitely own a Twitter. And you could follow me there. That would be also great. How's that? Yeah, give that a rating. What is, what is the Twitter? Oh, oh, yeah.

Okay. Just search Tom on Twitter. No. Explosions and fire is my channel. So, so, yeah. And you make energetic chemistry videos about making explosives and blowing them up. Yeah, yes, I do a bit of chemistry. I try and make some explosives. Some of them serious explosives, some of them, I try to nitrate a nugget from McDonald's in the last video. So there's a full scope of real serious to not so serious. Actually, I'm not sure full serious.

What would full serious of explosives be? It'd probably be too serious. It's not full serious. It's semi-serious at most, I would say. You're not making the explosives that raised the city of Dresden in World War II. No, nor am I making like like miniatures of Dresden. No, no, you did make white phosphorus. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, if we're talking Dresden, all right. Always, always bring it up every time I'm on a podcast. We were talking about dress now Yeah, no, I did have some white phosphorus That was cool. I think I still have some

I should check it around That time goes past very quickly. I've got any white phosphorus. Yeah, now have red phosphorus. Yeah, you could have happened to it. Yeah, he could have converted but my laboratory if I can call it that has not burnt down. So I think it's to your knowledge?. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that that that that that. that that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that.
