Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Buntavista. That is awesome. I'm just awesome. I'm just so total on this podcast. Hello and welcome to Buenvista, episode 298. I am Ben, and I've just poured myself a cup of instant coffee. I'm sitting down at my big Dell desktop computer, firing up Mozilla and logging into the forums on celebrity teeth.net. With me is Hans Moeller Man, who just posted a link to a flicker gallery of some hitherto unseen close-ups of Avril Levine's teeth. It's Theo. Hi Theo. Hey, hey, hey you're going. Wow, check out those purlars.
Starting point is 00:00:56 The, uh, the twos and four's up there? Yeah. Pretty contiguous. I've seen those from a front on and a three quarter profile before, but never in a full side profile. And I gotta say, I like what I'm seeing. Yeah, I'm bringing you the picks that no one else has. Yeah, where did you get these from, by the way? Are you allowed to say? Found them in a forest. USB drive marked Avrilofvin's teeth.
Starting point is 00:01:27 And you know I put that straight into my computer without giving it a second thought. Yeah, it's an eight megabytes. Okay, I hate to pull back the curtain here. I really do. I know it breaks the flow of the podcast. It breaks the immersion, breaks the K-fame of what we do. Andrew has just posted a picture of Avro the feed doing an open mouth smile slash grimace. Was your hope that you could give us specific reference material to riff on, re her teeth? I just think if
Starting point is 00:01:56 you're gonna talk about a lady's teeth in public, you should see him, you know? Yeah. Don't misrepresent her teeth. That's one of the things my father taught me. You're gonna talk about a lady's teeth? You look at them. Yeah, you look at those teeth. Look at him in the eyes. You know, in the eye, teeth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Lucy, you are the bunt of shooting that off. She's got, um, oh no, I was about to say something horrible. Never mind, no. See, now that you're looking at her, you can't say it, can you? You're gonna make teeth comments. And then you're the guy talking about a celebrity's teeth, instead of talking about a scenario where we're the guy's... Yeah, why would we be talking about celebrities? They are white or on Celebrity Teeth.com. Celebrity Teeth.neths.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Celebrity Teeth. So that's just one of the many websites he posts too. Yeah, recently migrated from Geocities. Yeah, that's right. But we also, we've set up a couple of proxy ones just in case they get taken down by the Finnish government where this is hosted. Also with me is Da X Dentata, got a temp ban overnight for spamming the General Channel, with some mock-ups he did and Gimp of what it would look like if Wallace Sean had no teeth.
Starting point is 00:03:12 It's Lucy. Hi Lucy. Are we saying God in the teeth? God from the teeth. Yeah, I think I don't speak Latin. I wasn't classically trained, but I believe that's God from the teeth. Right, which is what I decided was my screen name. Yeah, I think you maybe think divinity, like in the universe is most well exhibited in human
Starting point is 00:03:36 teeth. I do think that. I do think that. And you see God, the work of God, the finger of God has touched celebrities teeth in your eyes. That is th. That is th. That is th. That is th. That is th. That is th. That is their th. That is th. That is th. That is th. th. th. th. the work of God. The finger of God has touched celebrities teeth in your eyes. That is so true and I spend eight hours a day posting about it on various forums and then in the teeth discord. Yeah, and you're using GIMP over there as well. Yeah, crucially, you've decided, hey, Adobe's not getting my money, but I'm also not going to pirate it, I'm going to use GIMP. Are you on, are you on Gen 2 over there or what's your setup? What are these words that you are saying to me? I see Deus X Dantata as an Ubuntu user. But was a Bontu, look, this, I am trying to conjure a sense of time and place here, yeah. I also don't know when Flicker started, so this whole thing is falling apart. All I know is that when Dias X Duntata found out that G&U stands for GNU not Unix, he laughed.
Starting point is 00:04:32 A lot. Ha ha! Yeah, recursion. So what about those pictures of Wallace Shored with no teeth you've been posting in the main thread on celebrity teeth.net. Did you think that was good? You knew it was against the rules. You knew it would make people mad. Why is it against the rules? Wallace Sean has teeth? Why would you like we all... It doesn't. Look at this picture. Look at this picture. Okay, well no, you... I've seen do it again. I know he has teeth.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I've looked at a lot of pictures of Wallace Shorn's teeth. They're real. They're real. Yeah. You're sounding a little crazy right now. I'm just thinking that like, you know, this, we have, we've got a reputation as the, as the teeth makers. Yeah. Yeah, to their teeth make. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their teeth. Yeah. Yeah, their teeth. Yeah, teeth. Yeah, teeth. Yeah, teeth. Yeah. Yeah, teeth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, teateathea. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, teathea. Yeah, their their their their the and they want to know what Wallace Sean's teeth are like. Yeah. Are they good? Are they bad? Do they exist? Are they in his mouth? No one is calling its question of the existence. There are no Wallace Shorn teeth truth. Toothers, thank you. That's right. Andrew, you are. Who am I? Who am I? I want you guys right now to, in your mind's eye, without looking, what do you reckon Wallace Sean's teeth are like?
Starting point is 00:05:53 I've already seen them. You're looking at them right now? Yeah, in my mind's eye. Oh, okay. I think he has a perfectly nice set of teeth, to be honest. Well, he's always been like a pretty- I don't expect them to be flashy about it you know I think they're a regular working man's teeth. Yeah he's not Giovanni what's his name or anything? Rabisi? Rabeas? Yeah it's also not someone I would. A pair of those Joe Baudins? I feel like you couldn't have picked a
Starting point is 00:06:23 more inappropriate celebrity to suggest. This man doesn't know his teeth from his arsoil. Get him out of here. Well, while the shord's teeth are not the, they're fine. They're okay. He's got a small case of rabbit mouth, which is okay. And we celebrate that here at celebrity teeth.net. We like a diversity of teeth. We celebrate all kinds of teeth. Yeah.

And finally, also with us is the incisoror advisor, who just posted a very moving seven page tribute to canineineine to to theen, t. theen, to k k k k k..... So, t. So, t. So, t.

Starting point is 00:07:06 who was killed over the weekend in a crash with a drunk driver. It's Andrew. Hi Andrew. Hey. Are you doing okay? I know that you and K9 Lives, you posted a lot together. He was just always there for me, you know. Yeah, and while you guys never met in real life, never saw each other's faces or heard each other's voices. We just throw each other's teeth, as is a requirement of the forum that your profile picture does have to be a shot of your own teeth. You can't be here posting about other people's teeth. No, wait. It has to be your teeth at the day's date
Starting point is 00:07:47 on the newspaper. You gotta be holding up. Yeah. I think, well, you could do, to save space, you could do today's newspaper with a whole cut out and hold it up over your face. I think that's probably the smart way to do it. Concealing your identity but displaying the teeth at the same time. I think maybe, maybe, you know, we have been talking for a while about implementing a rule where you show a picture of your teeth and you also have to send the mods a picture of your
Starting point is 00:08:14 driver's license to confirm. They have to do a driver's license to newspaper photo, to their teeth. Yeah, you can't be posting Giovani Rabi's teeth and passing them off as your own teeth. No. What did Giovanni Rabisi's teeth look like? I'm looking this up. This is pretty normal. They're nice than a lot of pictures of his girlfriend on there too. Well you know what's nice? It doesn't auto complete if you start typing Geovardi teeth. That's really reassuring. Oh he's got that man has celebrity teeth. Yeah, I mean they all do. But he's a Scientologist. Oh really oh that's so disappointing. Yeah no one that's where we got the teeth from. He's got those Scientology teeth. Yeah. Top Cruise put him in himself. He probably did, huh? It's the Scientology teeth. You reach, uh, O'Teeth 9. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Does anyone want to... You guys reckon there's like an internal meter on whether or not you're going to kill yourself, and it sort of just shifts backwards and forwards, imperceptively every day? Is this about me not getting the... forwards imperceptively every day. Is this about me not getting the futuristic comedian of the week even though I handed it out so freely to everybody else? It's weird. It's got to be really much.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yeah, there it is again. Yeah, because he's like OT9. He's definitely moving the... Operating teeth and I can feel it fluctuating. It's really fucked up. Uh, uh... Uh, you know what's crazy about Scientology? They have that boat.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah, they do. Didn't they? Yeah, the love boat. Yeah, that's the sea org on there, don't they? The sea org, the sea org, the sea org is the name of the boat as well, right? Yeah.

The sea org is the name of the boat as well, right? Yeah. I don't know about this. Didn't know that was a boat. No, it seems like that should be where they have the sea org.
Starting point is 00:10:11 They organized the sea stuff. Oh, wait, sorry, no, I think I got that wrong. I think the name of the boat, the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is the boat, is their their their their their their, is 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 tho, tho, tho, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

It's time for plainly speaking. Perfect. Uh, this is your cap, speaking. Uh, please return your seat to their upright positions as we are coming in hot on another edition of Plainly Speaking. Lucy, when you went to the wine store, did you ask them if they had any larger wine glasses?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Oh! Oh! It's got to let you've got to let your red breathe, you know? You need a wide base on that. You need to have a flare bass, you need to have a flared base, you know? Letting it breathe. It's a one hour podcast. That's right.
Starting point is 00:11:07 This comes to us from the Associated Press. Man steals Backhoe for 10-mile drive to Illinois airport to catch flight. What's the crime? It didn't want to be late. They tell you to be early. Yeah, they're always telling you to be early.

You don't like keeping people waiting, whole planes be sitting there, kind of going, like, where is this guy? What's the holdup? This is a third and final page for a cunt dickhead who has it arrived for his flight. You don't want to be that guy. I have a question. I don't want you guys to be like at any japery or gesturing in return. Yeah. What's a backhoe? Not much. What's backhoe with you?
Starting point is 00:11:50 It's like an earth mover, right? Yeah. Okay. Kind of bobcat. A backhoe is a bobcat. Yeah, but it's got a, it's got an arm on the back of it. Would you say that arm is articulated? Yes, usually in two spots. At least two spots. They love eating telecommunications cables. If you showed a backhoe to say a small child, they'd probably go, digger. Yeah, if that helps you. Yeah, I mean your average child would, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Finn would know that to be a backo, but yeah. I get your meaning. Yeah. I just want to be clear. If you had a dumb child, they'd call it a digger, that's right. He'd say, oh, that's a case 580SV construction king, isn't it? Probably what Finn would say. A southern Illinois man has been charged with theft for allegedly stealing a back home, to drive about 10 miles. They they they they they th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin' thin' tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thu, thu.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thu. If thi, to drive about 10 miles or... They don't even know he did it. That's right. Maybe he approached waving his arms around saying I'm gonna take it. I'm stealing it. I'm gonna take it. If anyone
Starting point is 00:12:56 doesn't want me to borrow this, just yell out real quick. So it took it 16 kilometers to an airport to catch a flight authorities. Claimed no basis, probably. Yeah. Security camera footage shows a Carbondale man arriving at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois atop a backhoe and leaving it in the airport parking lot Thursday. Is that footage available?
Starting point is 00:13:20 That's so good. He must be driving so slow. A top a backhoe is such a like, that's a beautiful series of syllables. A top of backhoe, and a top of back to you as well. Footage captured the man walking across the street from the lot to the airport lobby, carrying a guitar case, the sheriff's office said. Yes. It can't fit really hard to fit in a car boat. Fuck yeah. Backhoe cowboy. Beautiful nylon 12 string. And just had a gig that he was not willing to miss.
Starting point is 00:13:53 It was his big break in Nashville, Tennessee. That was probably it. Yeah. The owner of the backhoe arrived at the airport a short time later and identified the equipment as belonging to his company, the Sheriff's office said. Uh, you snooze you lose you lose, the lose, the lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their the the. their thi their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi thi thi thi the the the theate the the the the thean the the the the the the the the the th and identified the equipment as belonging to his company, the Sheriff's office said. Uh, you snooze your lose, brother? Yeah, again, where's your proof? I was saying, like, he showed up right after, so he, he knew it got taken and you knew where
Starting point is 00:14:17 it was going. It sounds to me like someone said to him. Hey, I gotta get to the airport. Do you want to get to to to the airport to get the airport. Hey, I gotta get to the airport. Do you want to give me a lift or should I take this backhoe? Yeah, 10 miles like, just pick it up. Also, how are you not catching up with this guy? Like, what are you driving? You could run. You could use your legs. Just physically chase this man. Maybe this guy took the owner of the backhoe's new backhoe and he had to follow him in his older not as good backhoe. Oh yeah he only had the 520 SV. Yeah, yeah. Just out of curiosity why did
Starting point is 00:14:50 you immediately have it had to the actual like name and model number of a backhoe? Because I was looking at pictures of backhows as we were talking about the ways to identify a backhoe. Do you have a safe search off? Always. Hang on, Nomes found the loudest thing on earth to push across the floor, one second. What is it? It's no uh. The owner said the machine typically used to move large debris had been parked at a job site. A typically used to allow you debris have been parked at a job site. A typically used to allow you to catch your flight on time.
Starting point is 00:15:31 That's such a fucking great move. Like what's the... Okay, let's just say, and I don't personally believe this, but for the sake of argument, devil's advocate, this man stole a backhoe illegally, crime-wise, stole it to the airport to catch a flight. Stole it to the airport. He stole it to the airport. Sure.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Okay, whatever. Why that? Why that? If you have the ability, the will, to steal a vehicle, why not just take a car? I feel like people probably leave the keys in those things, right? Because you think who's gonna fucking steal this? Who's gonna steal it? But now, now you know.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Keys under the sun visor, you know? Yeah, little flip down. Bingo, check, please. He's probably gone. He was on that plane by the time. thapapapapapapape. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 th. th. th. the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the thi. thi. the thi. Who's the the to time the guy got there. Yeah, they don't say he was apprehended at the airport or anything. No. A hundred percent this guy made it to Nashville. And right now, they probably don't know where he is. There's a big-time record executive. Signing this guy up with a massive contract.
Starting point is 00:16:36 He's getting fitted for a like sequined balero. Yeah, this is going gonna have his big break. Yeah, this is gonna feature heavily in his biopic. Yeah, he's on a track with young gravy. You know, he's, the legend of the man, who, wherever it is, legend of the man who would not be denied his big break. This is the start of, this is the end of the first act I think. Everyone's told him he's never gonna amount to anything but he's got one audition and he's like, the the the the he he's like, the he he's like, the he's like, the he's like, the the the he's like, the the the he's like, the their, their, their, their, their, th. their, their, th. th. thi, their, he's he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's. He's. the, he's. the, he's. the, he's. the, he's. the, he's, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. th. the, th. the, the, to, to, the, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the thi's the thi's the first act I think. Everyone's told him he's never going to amount to anything but he's got one audition and he's like, fuck, I'm never going to make it. And then he sees, he sees that backhoe and then he flashes back to being 12 years old and driving a backhoe around in his backyard for fun and he thinks. Dr. their thii. th. And he's th. And he's th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi's like, thin, thin, thi's like, tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, tho, like, like, tho, like, like, he's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's like, thi's like, thi's like, thi's thi's thi's thi's like, thi. thi's like, thi's like, they's like, they's like, they's the sand pit that kids play with the little things.
Starting point is 00:17:25 He's like, oh my god, I think I can do it. Yeah. But what if he, um, what if he did catch the plane? He made it to the plane on time right? He's just, you know, they're just closing the door and he's like, wait, wait, waiving his histicket. big stupid carry-on. I'm going to go far is what he's saying to the lady at the counter. Yeah, and then he makes the flight and he gets there and he has his audition and it's just like the audition scene inside Lewin Davis. He gets to the end and F. Murray Abraham says nobody's listening to that shit
Starting point is 00:17:56 anymore. Yeah. We're listening to a young people country like Lucy listens to. Listen to Luke Bryan. Yeah. Cold beer and a Snapchat story. That's the kind of thing you're listening to Lucy. Can you break? They're doing to air all of our personal laundry on here. I didn't say it was bad. You've sent me some, and I've gone, what is this? Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I'm listening to it now. I'm listening to it now. I noticed he didn't post that in our regular chat. You decided to exclude Theo and I. Just straight-astens. You guys are snobs. Me and Lucy are really of the people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:38 What Theo and I occasionally list? Yes. I've heard the three records Theo listens to. I have, like, oh, I just had an idea. Okay, we're going to make a million dollars from this. It's a documentary and it's called Ocean Size Me. And for a month, only listen to Ocean Size. And then we see what happens to you.

This one is from the Twin Falls Time News. Twin Falls Times News.
Starting point is 00:20:40 That's time. Doesn't roll off the tongue. No. Twin's Times News. How do you feel about the URL for their website, magic valley.com? I would have preferred magic valley news. To be perfectly honest. You need to make sure you're really connecting with your own magic valley. That's my recommendation to everyone. Which, hmm? There is a magic valley on everybody. You decide where it is. That's right.

We is a jokes allowed segment by the way. I just realized that every time we introduce a new segment we need to say whether it's a jokes or no jokes fun. I was holding back. All right. This is jokes and potentially deaths. Cool. Safety's off. From East Idaho news, local seniors get to experience the rush of a fezent hunt. Hell yes. I like the hunterthe rush of a pheasant hunt. Oh, hell yes. I like the hunter or as the pheasant? We'll never know. I also am appreciating that that could either be high school seniors or old people.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Oh. Yeah, well, we'll never know. Yep. Now, if you're, by the way, if you're listening to this and you're curious, please do not look it up. No, you would be portraying the spirit of the segment. This is a covenant. I don't want to think it's teenagers. And if you hear any of these, you'd think, wow, that sounds like something that
Starting point is 00:22:35 would have been fun to Kansas, the quitch. That's right. Moth Invasion forces WPD to change second chance Thursday location. Just thinking about the WPD and what a second chance Thursday might be. I like to think it's like one of the guys that are going to jail, they get like a... I'll spin a big wheel. Yeah, maybe! Last chance, like somebody gets to spin the big old wheel and pop-out out of there.
Starting point is 00:23:15 The wheel is covered in moths. They couldn't spit it, sorry. You go to jail, Bolle, no second chance barramas how big the moths are either yeah that's true I got big moths in Kansas big moth country yeah that's big moth country now a mothband invasion that's trouble yeah yeah from WPRI news in Rhode Island the Whiopry. Yep. Man accused of poisoning 50 plus fish at Rhode Island Inn. Mm-hmm. Not on the same day or anything. He's been coming there for years.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Long time. Picks one fish to slip a pill to. The phrasing really gets me here. That's I think it's making me think of dark place. He went axe happy on a trout farm, the man killed 60 fish. That's a lot of fish. Someone got to 50 and said, fuck it. I can't anymore. Jesus, isn't it? He could put my fingers in these fish's mouth. And this final one is from WDAF news in Missouri.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Wadaf. Missouri Miracle? Hundreds traveled to see nuns exhumed incorrupt body. It sounds pretty hot. And that concludes, headline news. Sorry, incorrupt body. Yes. Is that like inflamable or is it like the one where it's the opposite?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Yeah, it's hard to say. It's from the French, so actually it, Incorrupt is in scare quotes as well, by the way. Exhumed, incorpt the today. Oh, um, now I know we're not supposed to look any further into this. It looks an awful lot like like like like like like like like like like like you like you like you like you like you you you you you you you you you you th like th like th like th like th like th like th like you've highlighted something to then search for it. I just hope it doesn't mean virgin, you know, I hope it means they don't know how she died. No, what it does mean. I just want to know what the word means specifically, Ben.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I'm not looking into this story specifically. It means not having undergone decomposition. Oh. So it's come back out in perfect Nick. I'm staying away from that none. Yeah. Incorruptibility is a Catholic and Eastern Orthodox belief that divine intervention allows some human bodies to completely or partially avoid the normal process of decomposition after death as a sign of their holiness.
Starting point is 00:25:41 No, that's unholy. That's so unholy. Yeah, an ability to unlock is a level eight cleric. Right, fellow gamers? I think transcending the bonds of the natural world is an unholy vibe to me. Yeah. I agree with you, Lizzie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I was gonna put that story. I was gonna use this story in Omen's importance, but there was a bunched really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really a th. th. th. th. th. to put that story. I was going to use this story in Oman's importance, but there was a bunch of really boring Catholicism stuff in there, so I... Yeah, I decided not to. Yeah, that's right. Uh, failing to decompose, that's simply unnatural. And that's not the kind of thing that we like here on Nature Corner. It's time for Nature Corner. This comes to us and I'm going to let you take this one Theo from KCCI. Now I'm on the KCCI diet. Yes. In Iowa. What? What does that mean? Just let it roll over you Ben. Rabbit terrorizes Iowa
Starting point is 00:27:09 neighborhood. That's some Iowa shit. Yeah. I just think in other places they wouldn't be terrorized by them. They're like, oh it's a rabbit. I don't know though. Sounds like a I've seen a very funny film involving. Yeah. Something very similar. Yeah. Police Academy. One Perry resident tells KCCI she was one of two people bitten by a rabbit last Friday. Roman Rustin said the rabbit jumped up and bidder and then hopped over to the neighbor's house.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Oh, that's fucking crazy. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. You were fucking with that rabbit. There's no way it, oh I just jumped up and bit me, lying. You're lying. Yeah, never seen a rabbit. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I hate to back a little bit here. movie you were talking about the like 8 millimeter super 8 footage of Jimmy Carter being attacked by a rabbit while swimming? No but it is now. Google Jimmy Carter rabbit incident and you'll see some tremendous footage. Why does this look like deliverance? The Jimmy Carter rabbit incident sensationalized as for kill a rabbit attack bythe press, involved a swamp rabbit, which is new to me. Okay. A swap rabbit that swam towards the then-US President Jimmy Carter's fishing boat on April 20, 1979. The incident caught the imagination of the media after Carter's press secretary, Jody Powell mentioned the event to a correspondent months later. Political opponents argued that the incident was a result of Carter being a pussy.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Interesting like the other recommendations when you Google Jimmy Carter UFO incident? Yes, okay. Fuck yeah. He thought he saw a UFO. That's it. It's not like he claims to have been abducted or anything. It's Yes, okay. Fuck yeah. He thought he saw a UFO. That's it. It's not like he claims to a bit of duct or anything. It's like a... Yeah. Lucy, you do a really good Jimmy Carter. You should do a little riff there about having seen a UFO.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I got nothing. Yeah, I don't know how Jimmy Carter sounds at all. I thooo. I thought about it and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and I and I that and I was that and I was like, I was like, that and I was like, I was like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that that that, that's like, 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's, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, oh, I was like, oh, oh no, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, oh no, I was like, oh, oh no, I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh no, no, no, no, no, that's Richard Nixon. I gotta say, uh... You do do a good Dixon. A swamp rabbit looks a fair bit like a regular rabbit. Yeah, it just looks like a rabbit, doesn't it? Yeah, it's kind of disappointing to be honest. I thought I was going to see a soggy a rabbit. Quote, it came around to her car and it wouldn't let her out of her car. What? What? It's banging on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass on the glass the glass the glass the glass the glass the glass the glass the glass the glass th th th wouldn't let her out of her car, Rustin said.
Starting point is 00:29:45 What? It's banging on the glass. Give me your money. There are so many options available to you. If you truly cannot open your driver's side door because it's obstructed by a rabbit. Get out the other side. Yeah. Just hop across. Scooch. Do a little scooch. Turn your car on and back over the rabbit.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah. I'm just saying, this lady is making it sound a lot. Yeah. It's it or you. I think. Yeah. She called the police. Quote. The police department says it's been a rabbit that has been around terrorizing people, Rustin said. That's so good, because imagine like calling the police and being like, there's like a rabbit terrorizing me and instead of them saying, okay then, they're like, oh fuck, where is he?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Oh, we've heard reports with this rabbit. You can audibly hear them try to get other people to pick up the receiver as well. Holy shit, it's the rabbit! He's back! Motioning to one of the other cops to start recording the call. Trace it, trace it! Oh my goodness. The Perry Police gave KCCI a call report that details a 13-year-old girl who was also bitten by the rabbit.
Starting point is 00:31:07 The 13-year-old will be getting a rabies shot. Rustin, who says she is a nurse, fuck yeah, is not planning on getting a rabies shot. I'm not worried about rabies, because when it bit me, I didn't see it frothing at the mouth, Rustin said, displaying that real nurse-like quality. Yeah, you're really looking at its mouth like getting deep in there when this crazed rabid rabbit bit you. I bet like getting a rabies shot in America costs like $19,000. It probably does actually, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:41 She's probably just like, whatever happens to me, do not call an ambulance, do not give me the rabies shot. I will stitch up my own wounds. I'm a nurse, so I've got this covered. Late Friday morning, Perry police caught the bunny. Now this is a turn that I was not expecting in this story given where it's from. It was taken to the city's waste water treatment plan where it was released. Hold on what?
Starting point is 00:32:12 What swamp rabbit is this? That I... You know what's what kind of rabbit is this? Regular. Regular rabbit? Earth rabbit, I believe is the default. It's a normal type. Yeah. Kids, look, a land rabbit.
Starting point is 00:32:28 It's a terrestrial rabbit. Why was it taken to the wastewater treatment plant? You seen that right? The X-Files episode with the guy who's like half-man, half-flat Oh yeah. And he lives in the water treatment plant? You think that's this situation. I think this is maybe a, he's half a rabbit, half flatworm. Yeah. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Well, I more thought it was surprising because I feel like, you know, we had a story the other week about a bear that came into someone's house because they kept leaving the door open and a big ham on the kitchen bench, you know. And then they were like, we had to kill the bear and issue this man a $12 fine. Yeah, I was surprised because I think as far as things that police would be tempted to find an excuse to absolutely just blow away. To just vaporize. A rabbit has got to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be to be the to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tham tham tham tham the the the their ham thiomom their their ham their their ham their ham their ham their ham their ham their their ham their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi thiam. thi. thiam. thia. thia. thia' thia' thia' thia' thia' thia' thia' thia' thia' thi. thied to find an excuse to absolutely just blow away. So just vaporize. A rabbit has got to be near the list, right? It's a very aggressive rabbit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:32 There was that video from like four or five years ago of a cop. There was like a, I feel like it was maybe a porcupine or something had backed up a ton of traffic because it was just ambling really slowly across the road and then this cop got out of his car and it started ambling towards him and the cop immediately just shot it in the face. Blew it away, yeah. In front of like all of these parked cars. Because that's what cop brain tells you to do. But in this they're like, no, we've got to throw this guy throw this guy throw this guy throw this guy throw this guy throw this guy throw this guy this guy the throw this guy the throw this guy the the the throw this guy the throw this guy the the the throw this guy the the the the the the throw to throw the throw the to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to throw to toeat toeat.eat.eat.eat. throw. throw. throw.eat throweat throw.eat toeat toeat toe. toeat toe. toe. toeat toe. the Jimmy Carter incident is there's a photo of it and the rabbit is swimming away from Jimmy Carter in the photo.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Anti-Karter political commentators went so far as to blame it for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iran hostage crisis. Well, they had to show strength after being cucked by the rabbit. If he can't even handle a little small rabbit. Well check this shit out how's he gonna handle the Ayatollah? Yeah that's embarrassing. My goodness. The rabbit has not been seen in Perry since. Police don't know if the rabbit has rabies and apparently we're not interested in finding out... Well, which is good because as we now know, from learning and re-learning it several times on this podcast,
Starting point is 00:34:56 the rabies test is lethal. Yeah, the rabies test is that they put the animal in a blender, and then they take a little pipette and get a drop of that and put it into the test tube and shake it around. Yeah, there's a guy at the Iowa Fish and Game Department who dips his pinky into the blended rabbit goes, ah! Puh! Rabies for sure. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm going to need three weeks off work. Everyone he knows just carries around a rabies shot like an epiphen. Rabeas is extremely rare in Iowa. In 2022 the state reported 11 cases of rabbit animals. They were all bats. Really makes you think. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, but about what? I was trying to think about something then and I was just like, you know what? Nothing interesting there? We report.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Brain's just slid off it. You decide. You decide. Oh boy. Well, uh, that cop's going to get yelled at when he gets back to the station and all the other cops find out he had a chance to shoot something and he didn't But hey we all make mistakes And we're gonna find out about some other people who have made a mistake in this installment of a new segment called Po-Body's Nerfect
Starting point is 00:36:27 T-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n' the-n' the-n'-n'-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n' the-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-hhhhhh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-n no, po'body's nerve-ex, no, no, po-body's nerve-ex, no, whoopsy, no, whoopsy, da, hey, po-body's nerve-ex. No, whoopsy, hey, yeah, nobody's nervous. No, oh, oh. That's true. Thank you so much. That one sounds like it took some effort, you know. You put in the work.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You know, when you hear people doing like a barbershop quartet kind of thing or a do-wop group or whatever and you think to yourself, that sounds easy. Yeah, it's not that easy. Key is there's four of them. Yeah, and they got to sing all different sounds to us. And you and three your friends recorded that. Andrew, Smandrew, the rest of them and Jeff. This comes to us from the Associated Press. Hoax school shooting, great start, a hook's school shooting made worse when Massachusetts officer accidentally fires gone. Well, they can't win, can they?
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah. Can't win them all? In Uvaldi, what's a... How would you say that? I don't think we ever nailed the pronunciation that one. It's not for us to try. They weren't shooting at all. This one, they shoot too much.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Just like everything, the answer is somewhere in the middle. Just can't win with the work agenda. No, you can't. Never happy. What do these people want? It's cool that if you don't get traumatized by a school shooting, you get to just get traumatized by people popping off guns in your school while pretending there's a school shooting? Yeah. A police officer accidentally fired their gun while investigating a report
Starting point is 00:38:27 of an active shooter at a school in northern Massachusetts. Woken again. Causing a heightened law enforcement response for what turned out to be a hoax, like a prank? A hoax? Like a prank? There are a shitload of them happening at the moment. Bomb threats in school shooter threats happening throughout the US and yeah, I don't know what the fuck's going on there. It's too depressing probably for us to look into. But yeah, it's like weird shit where a lot of them are being like, um, what do you call it when it's like deep fake but for voices? But they're like th th th, what, what, what, what, th th, th, th, th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the, thin, thin, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, the, the, 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 the the the the the the the thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, like, like, thin, like, like, like, that, like, that, that, that, that, threat, threats threats threats, threats threats, threats, threats, threats, like, that,, but they're being like computer generated and stuff like it's all real fucking weird
Starting point is 00:39:06 Uh, let me be clear Andrew can he say that? You don't write in to let us know. Oh boy. While alone in a school bathroom, no. A local police officer inadvertently discharged their firearm. Oh my God. It happened again! Bathroom pop. Yeah. What the fuck is up with American cops? I mean, we know that there are things wrong with cops as an institution globally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:50 But what are you fucking doing? Presumably just pulling his pants down, right? Yeah, or up. Or up. But either way, we know he was shitting. Well, we know they were shitting the gun trigger on the little coat hanger? Oh maybe. Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Peter, look this somehow. It's like looking around for somewhere to put their gun. Oh, this gets so much worse. Oh, as in for the cop, local and state police have responded to a report of someone with a gun at St. John's prep at about about 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. the. thoom. the. thi. thi. thiole. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. We. Wea. to. Wea. It. 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 gun at St. John's Prep at about 2 p.m. Monday. And the sound of the gunshot, quote, elevated the situation. Got a call saying that there was a school shooting, arrived and said, look, before we get in there, I have got to take a shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I've really got to take a shit. I meant to go before I left home. And then you accidentally fire your gun in the toilet. I assume upsetting the people who had called the police to say, we've heard this someone with a gun here. And then you have to say, uh-oh. Uh-oh. Yeah. Still a hoax. And then now there's a new thing that happened as well. So two things have happened.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Maybe they were trying to use like, you know how, um, you know how some schools have like the really little urinals? I was thinking that. I was thinking of like a children's school urinal. It was so little. Yeah, yeah, maybe they just fell off one of them, you know? You can barely fit your pistol in. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You gotta have the safety on, you know? Have we shot guns? Have any of you shot guns? Oh, I've shot guns, baby. I've only shot like a rifle. Yeah, but it's still so fun. It's so fun fun tha fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun. It's so good. Like it's pretty fun. It's not fun enough that you need to have them. Have America. No. It's not fun enough to justify the way America is and has been and will be. Like this guy probably having no fun shooting his gun. Yeah. Now you wanted to be more of a treat
Starting point is 00:41:58 not an everyday, everyday thing. Yeah, guns are sometimes food. Guns are sometimes food. I completely agree. Quote, typically we would have probably just kept our patrol force investigating initially, but when we had that report of a gunshot, we didn't know where it happened originally or how it occurred. So we had a larger response, Danvas Police Chief James Lovel said at a news conference after a sweep of campus found no shooter and no victims. Well, one shooter. There was a shooter.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Yeah. And also, if only there was one person who could have told you what the gunshot was, that might already have your numbers. Yeah, he absolutely didn't want to say anything. He's like, oh yeah, I heard it too. We're all getting the image of like a Chris Farley style cop. Oh yeah, absolutely. The gun goes off and he immediately gets up and tries to run out of the cubicle with his pants are still around his ankles. He's falling over. The gun's on the floor.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Big turd falls out of his butt. Yeah. It lands in his pants. And he like bursts out of the door, but falls over his pants again, flat in the hall, but just at the moment that all the kids are getting evacuated. And they're all walking over him. They're all standing on his hands and his back. Dunn does like six flips in the air, lands in his ass crack. Yes. Discharges into the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Beautiful. Copyright Buntavista, don't, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thu. And, thuice, thui, thui, charges into the ceiling. Beautiful. Copyright, Buntavista, don't, uh... And obviously you can't cast Chris Farni in that one. Some students at the All Boys Catholic School ran into the woods near campus, school officials said, trying to find a playboy here. That's so fucked. Yeah, probably because they were scared for their lives. Yeah, and now they just feel traumatized by this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Oops, they're never going to forget that fear. Yeah. I thought it was someone coming to kill us, but it was only the person that was supposed to be helping us. Yeah, it was Fuck Nuts the Cop, who was shitting and fired his gun. You guys, do you guys, do you guys thiiiiii thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. Do you guys thi. Do you guys thi. Do you guys, do you guys, do you guys, do you guys, do thi?? Do you guys, do you guys remember when Playboy went like no nude for a bit? Oh my god. EG 13. Yeah, awful.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Horrible time in the culture. Like the magazine or not the. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They, they had a stretch of like several months. Everyone's sick of seeing too many vaginas. Yeah, don't even see. You can't throw You were never seen that. Yeah, you can't... Not like Duh. Throw a cat around here without hitting some airbrushed breasts.
Starting point is 00:44:31 You know? Uh, BBC headline from 2017, Playboy brings back nudity, saying its removal was a mistake. Yeah, it's like exactly like, uh, USB ports and the touch bar on the Macbook. They were just like, Maya Culper. Oh, you guys like titties. You guys like the titties. Oh, the jugs? You guys like the jugs?
Starting point is 00:44:56 They didn't do that with Tumblr just stuck with it. Yeah. You will not see furries fucking each other on here anymore. That's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi's thi's thi's that's that's that's that's th. that, the the that's, th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thu.

What's the point? Yeah. What's the point in living now that that's gone? I thought they wouldn't notice when we took the nudity out because of the articles. We can get so many more articles in there. Yeah. The investigation is now focused on who made the hoax call and what caused the officer's weapon to discharge. Probably the officer? Probably the officer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What the the the the the point. What's the point. What's the point. What's the point.

Starting point is 00:45:27 Probably the officer, probably. Slippery, greasy hands. He's fumbling, there's no toilet paper, he's fumbling with the little cardboard roll. The school remained closed on Tuesday and a state police spokesperson said there were no new developments. Hmm. Sometimes you hear a loud pop. Maybe it's an officer's gun going off, but perhaps you have heard the tell-tale audio sign
Starting point is 00:46:01 of the death of a balloon. It's time for balloonly speaking. What a delightful level of whimsie you brought to say- jonty. Oh, this is from KRQE, the Croke in New Mexico. Shortage of hot air balloon pilots has local company looking for help. Anyone will do. Yeah. You there, boy. How'd you like to sort of control something maybe? That is how a balloon pilot would speak. You're there, boy.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Take this top hat and this pocket watch. I have a fantastic enterprise you might be intrigued by. Now there's only two things you're going to need to know about piloting this bad boy. Number one is pulling this here, stirrup. Number two is how to to talk like this here stirrup. Number two is how to talk like this. Oh boy, giving you our pronunciation an etiquette guide. Can you, how many syllables have you got your first and last name? Oh, that's not nearly enough. Let's add some extras.
Starting point is 00:47:23 From now on you shall be Copernicus Barnaby Pennybottom. A shortage in hot air balloon pilots has a well-known company, you know them, scrambling to get people trained and ready to go in time for balloon fiesta in October. A sombre affair. This is going to be the deadliest balloon fiester to date. It's like at the end of a like world war where they've already, all the pilots that they had time to train are all dead. Now they're just shoveling new guys straight from college into a balloon.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Welcome to your balloon class, gentlemen. You guys will now be referred to as the 45 Day Boys, because that's your life's bed, because you're going to float up into the heavens and stay up there until you fucking die. It's that scene from a, from gangs of New York where they're loading soldiers onto one end of a boat and unloading coffins from the other. Rainbow Riders with a Y. That's the well-known company, by the way. Rainbow Riders claimed they're down hot air balloon pilots, allegedly, they're claiming
Starting point is 00:48:39 it. We can't verify that independently. We report, you confirm. Scott Applman, the company's CEO said right now, they're that independently. We report, you confirm. Scott Appleman, the company's CEO, said right now they only have 24 pilots. But during Balloon Fiesta, they usually have around 50. Oh, what are they going to do? So the majority of the balloon pilots are going to be very recently untrained balloon pilots. Mm-hmm. Wear a hard hat, if you're going? You know how, like the advice? pilots are going to be very recently untrained balloon pilots.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Wear a hard hat if you're going. You know how like the advice for if you're near a volcano is you should always be facing towards it no matter what? And that if you hear a loud sound, you look up to see if there's magma going up and where it's going to land? If you're at the balloon fiester, always be facing the balloons, always be looking up. Yeah. Don't turn the turn the to the to tu to to the to th th to thu to to thu thu to thu to thu to thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thathea thatheatheatheathe thathe thatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheat thatheatheat th th th th th th th.

Always be looking up. Yeah. Don't turn your back on the balloons. Never turn your back on the balloon. Quote, we have a great need for pilots as the industry pilots are getting older and not enough people are coming in. Said Appleman. In a couple of years, some of Rainbow Rider's pilots will be retiring.
Starting point is 00:49:50 A lot of getting too old for this shit kind of stuff, you know. This is why the company is heavily promoting its internship program and they hope it will bring more interest to the career. Nobody wants to work anymore. You know, that's the career. Nobody wants to work anymore. You know, that's the problem. Look at this. 26 vacancies for balloon fiesta.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah. You've got guys from the Australian Unemployed Workers Union going on Q&A and saying that they can't find a job and there are 26 balloon pilot jobs going in... New Mexico? Come on. You're just lazy. Makes you think. Yeah. Is it making you think, Theo?
Starting point is 00:50:32 No. I was wondering whether maybe people just want to work from home now. Yeah. Balloon pilots. They're all drone pilots now. That's the problem. I actually think we've inadvertently stumbled on a fantastic business innovation here. Self-driving balloon.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Or at least just get one of those guys riding the little rickshaw bikes to pilot nine balloons. Okay, I mean, I don't, I didn't bring this up last term, but now that it's happened twice. Now the reason that they were moving around is because they were playing Pokemon Go, which is geolocated. They got places to be! It's not because they were incidentally traveling otherwise. If they were remotely controlling the hot air balloon, they wouldn't have to be synchronously
Starting point is 00:51:21 moving in real time on the ground of it. They don't have to be on the rickshore. They can be at home with a bunch of screens for the hot air. What if the other company finds them? I think you just liked the photo of the guy on a bike with like 30 phone screens. And now you want that to be the solution to everything. It's going to be the solution to something eventually. Yeah, it was the the the the the the the the the to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be the the the the to be the the the the thine the thine the the th. the th. the the the th. th. theathe the. theatheatheatheatheatheatheatheat. the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other 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. the. the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an thean thean the an the the the the, it was the great Pokemon go shortage crisis of 20 whenever the fuck that happened. Oh, Pokemon Go to the Poles, so that would have been 2016. Jesus. Remember that? And I'm still with her. Quote, as far as our retirement rate, we've probably got one or two people that are getting ready to retire in the next three to four years, so we're try and get head of
Starting point is 00:52:10 that curve and get these folks trained up well, said Appleman. The paid internship program. Oh, I'm listening. Doing better than the New York Times or whatever. Uh, for all I know. Where they train to be pilots takes anywhere from six to 12 months depending on experience. Oh, that can't be right. Do you have a lot of experience flying on air balloons? Oh, you don't? Oh, you don't?
Starting point is 00:52:42 You've seen them? You ever held one? Have you ever listened to nine or nine six Luft balloons? Because you can get some recognition of prior learning for that. Quote, they will receive a salary so it's not a free internship. They receive training that will get them up to a point where they can be flying larger balloons and have enough experience to be in those balloons, said Appleman. We'll go through and review applications and then interview the folks we do a pretty extensive background check, driving and all those types of things because we're looking for people
Starting point is 00:53:17 that are safety conscious that have the right culture going towards flying an aircraft as well as entertaining our guests. Oh my God. If you can't get employees, maybe you need to be a little less picky about it. Maybe drop the requirement that they can tell a thrilling anecdote about their time in Indochina. Yeah. Yeah. The Dutch East India company that they were to.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I was on safari, you see? We discovered a new kind of medicine. Very potent. Ah, power lights! Zap. I don't want my pilot talking to me in any situation in an aircraft. Okay. Even when they're giving the little announcement on the plane, don't do that. You have a job to do. What if you got invited up to the cockpit to look at the gauges and... Oh that would be delightful. It's so much fun. Look, I kind of, I feel, here's one of my personal feelings everybody. I feel that the pilot's announcement is for the pilot. It's not for me. It's not for me. I don't need to know the name of the first officer. I don't know who that is. I would know who to blame. As I'm dying, fucking Mark you, piece of shit. I like it. I like that they, I feel like there's something they put in there
Starting point is 00:54:42 to make you feel special if you go on on a holiday. You know, they don't give a shit if the weather's nice when you land in Melbourne, but you hearing them say it, you go, ooh, that's true. I'm about to land in Melbourne and guess what? The weather's nice? Although four seasons in one day. Yeah, yeah, check this out. It's beautiful day in Melbourne, the thee. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah you know, wait five minutes, etc. Yeah, that's it. Fucking get them. Yes! Fucking get them! Yeah. In the last few days, Rainbow Riders has received 20 applications. Great.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So if they hire literally every fuckhead that applied, they have, it's, they've almost covered all of their vacancies. Almost. Tremendous. This is going to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be their their to be to be their their their th. th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. thoom. th all of their vacancies. Almost. Tremendous. This is going to be a disaster. Check out the balloon fiesta. Let's keep an eye out for a balloon fiesta in October. How did all these guys collide? They're traveling on the same wind. Setting a Google Alert. Rainbow Riders explosion.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Well, I think that that has been an episode of the podcast, Bonifista. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have to agree. Okay. We've got a, we've got a, uh... Yep. We got a consensus. Yeah. Yeah. What? Yeah? What? What? Yeah? What? What? What? What? that? Corrance? My brain just kept going concurrence. And that's not it. We have a synchronicity. Yes, we are in alignment. We are. I'll see you next week, folks. Or later on the week if you're a beautiful subscriber. Ooh. Little rendezvous, midweek and a weekend rendezvous. Maybe after work.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Yeah. Maybe a lunchtime in a hotel room, you know. Maybe one ear phone in, in church. That'd be so naughty. No one else would know. Except you occasionally go, Oh, don't do that. God can hear it. Don't do that. Bye?
Starting point is 00:56:48 Bye. Bye. to
