Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Buentevista, episode 313. I am Ben and I am here in the movie Reverse Ratatouie. With me is Andrew who's being reverse Ratitouied. Hi, Andrew. I guess it's almost time for me to start pulling this rat's hair. I assume that's what athis rat's hair. I guess. I assume that's what a reverse ratatouy is? I mean I've been trying for a while.
Starting point is 00:00:51 This is the sixth rat I have attempted to ride. I have killed the other five rats instantly when I have hopped on board. I cannot find a chef's hat big enough. So, in ratatooey, there is a rat who has a passion for cooking., which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which is a that, which is a that, which is a that, which is a that, which is a that, which is a that, which is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that, that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that, that, that, that, that, that is a that, that, that is a that, that is a that, that is a that is a that, that, that is a that, that is a that is a that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that is a that is a that is a that, that is a that, that, that is a that is a that, that is a that is a that is a that is a that is a that, that, in ratatoui, there is a rat who has a passion for cooking, which is unusual for a rat. So in a reverse ratitoui, it would be a rat who has a...no, a human that has a passion for finding bits of trash on the ground and eating it. And a rat that's not naturally very good at it. And then that human is secretly pulling on the hairs on the head of that rat. There's a lot of circumstances coming up where the rat has to hurriedly say to the human,
Starting point is 00:01:38 get out of my little rat apartment, my family is coming through the door, and then a family comes through the door and say say, Where'd you get all this delicious stinky garbage from? Yeah, you're no good at it usually So I guess I've really picked it up lately. He says pulling the kitchen The beaded curtain closed to obscure a gigantic sneaker Yeah, that's that sound right. That's all baby, we've done it. That's a comedy podcast. Also with us, as a character who somehow fits into the plot of whatever reverse Ratatoui is, podcaster, lover of film, celebrated Bon Vivant, certified handsome boy, it's Alexi
Starting point is 00:02:18 Tulliopolis. Wow, hello, and thank you for finally acknowledging me as one of the great bon vivance. I feel like of all the people I know, you suit that the most. Thank you. I do have a certain lust for life if you were. You do, that's very true. A certain joie de vive. A certain genus sequa if you will, you don't meet many people that love life as much as I do.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I know a lot of people of depression, so yeah, that's true. Yeah, don't count me amongst those. I'm one of the people that has a clean mental health, and though I really love life. We should celebrate those people more, I think. You know, these days, everyone's always trying's to be try thi th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, thi tho, tho, thi's tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I tho, I tho, I tho, I thi, I thi, I, I, I, I, I, I think. You know these days everyone's always trying to be like I have this, I have that. What about regular folks who have nothing? Exactly. I have a good relationship with my parents. Oh, okay, well maybe I don't fit in. Maybe I don't fit in. Yes, you know, I love my mother, I'm a mumbiase boy. I'm an eat, I probably have some sort of eatable syndrome if you will. We're so far, three minutes into the podcast and you've admitted that on tape. Fantastic. All right, wrap it up. We got what we need. Let's go. That's why they're some stings. Shit, shit. They got me to admit to it, that I love my mommy.
Starting point is 00:03:41 This has been organized by your friends and family. It's something of a therapy session. Okay, they've all started... They've just started coming into the room now again. I know what's going on. Well, thank you. It was lovely having you. We've asked you to join us because you're... Well, this is kind of selfish on my part.
Starting point is 00:04:02 This is adjacent business to the podcast. But I have a movie festival coming up that you're part of. You're coming up to Brisbane for both. I am coming up to Brisbane for both and it is one of my greatest honors. I'm genuinely so freaking excited because it's very rare to get to celebrate Goose Cinema. I've been celebrating cinema most of my life and not once have I been asked to to get to celebrate goo cinema. I've been celebrating cinema most of my life, and not once have I been asked to talk about the gooiest movies ever, and finally I get to. Often the movies you see are suspiciously dry, you know? Absolutely. Look at all these
Starting point is 00:04:36 characters. Maybe someone gets a little sweat, but it's not moist enough for me. I love a soppy cinema. I love soppy cinema, so finally we get to do it. This is gonna be a wet, wet fortnight. That is what we promise the customer. This is very exciting for us because last year, which was the first year that we did both. You know, it had all of the features of a film festival in that it was a program of movies played in a short amount of time. Yes. We didn't really... Big tick from me. I go, that's a film festival. Yeah, we got the fundamentals down, but we didn't get to do the sort of the other stuff you do with a film
Starting point is 00:05:13 festival and this year we're like, oh we should probably get like guests and stuff and then all of us, the four of us who organized this things th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, all just said, Alexi, at the same time. The original Mr. Movies, we had to get him to come up. I'm so excited to be a guest of the fest. It's going to be, yeah, very silly, I think. I'm very excited. And we're going to have Richard Brophy, the director of Bodymelt, one of the goo-si. thii. ever made in this country. Not known for Goo cinema. Australia's not known for Goose Cinema. We have one more. Did I say I say his name wrong just then, didn't I?
Starting point is 00:05:50 That's Philip Brophy, I believe. What do I say? Richard, I think? That's my dad's name. I think I do have a problem with my favorite. Oh, oh. We should keep the tape I'll look for a little bit. Oh, God, no. I'm gonna start calling him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him the the the keep the tapirolic for a little bit. Oh God, no. I'm gonna start calling him dad during the Q&A. I know, I'm still kind of mystified that you can just like, you can email people and be like, hey, you made a movie 20 or so years ago. Do you want to come talk about it at like the stupidest film festival that's ever existed? With a name that's hard to say on purpose is a joke. their their thiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's 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 th.

All, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. te. te. tell, tell, tell, tell, to to to to to to to thi. I'll the. I, with a name that's hard to say on purpose is a joke. And they'll just be like, oh yeah, yeah, that sounds nice. That's fucking insane. The first film maker I ever emailed when I was in film school, and it was only to express gratitude.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I was like, thank you for making and it was only to express gratitude. I was like, thank you for making stuff that influenced me that eventually led me to the path to going to film school. Was the guy that made the TV show Plasmo? Motherfucker, I've been trying to get an email back from him for two years. Oh, really? He emailed me back. God-I was, um, yeah, I was just th, I th, I was just th, I was just th, I was just th, I was just th, I was just th, I was just th, I th, I th, I was just th, I was just thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, thi, thi, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, thank than, th? He emailed me back but this was like 10 years ago or something. He emailed me back. I was um yeah I was just trying to get permission for screening and I could not get onto him. I tried through so
Starting point is 00:07:12 many different fucking channels. The man's a digital ghost. Wow. I'll see if I can find my old reply and I'll just be like hey just picking this up mate. Pick the thread back up. Just a while I've got you here. He's been waiting for another reply for me for probably ten and a half years. Now for non-Australian listeners, Plasma was a children's television show about some space aliens, one of which the big pussy for a face,
Starting point is 00:07:45 and a plasticine. Plastocene, pussy-faced aliens. Yes. An extremely yonic character, one of the most yonic creatures ever made. It's so like, it's just, like, obviously he was like an experimental sort of stop-motion filmmaker who decided that the best avenue for that outlet was pitching a children's TV show to the ABC. But it's tinged with unbelievable sadness. Like every episode. It's all about, they're in this like wrecked, dying world.
Starting point is 00:08:18 They're all like lost their families and shit. Everyone's just, yeah, very odd. And I'm watching it as a little boy laughing my ass off thinking this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Watching them do all their slapstick antics while he's like telling a story about growing up in an isolation chamber and never feeling the touch of his family or whatever. Very strange show. But of course these days kids aren't interested in depressing claymation experimental series they're interested in depressing, claymation, experimental series. They're interested in stuff that's on Tick Tock.
Starting point is 00:08:50 It's time for Tick Tock Watch. This is professional broadcasting at its finest. I want to apologize in advance for this story because I don't think it fits in our usual brief of news, but I read this article and I just thought, hey, here's something we need to talk about. Here, finally, something important, you said. That's right. This comes to us from Parade Magazine, the O method is an NSFW way to manifest your dreams. I was hoping to manifest some stuff, but like in a horny way.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Vision boarding is not horny enough for me. Or the way I do it is too horny either of them. I can't show you the vision board. Oh yeah. Disgusting. Manifestation is all the rage right now. Of course. I've always said that, but only right now. Not a lot of evidence to that claim.
Starting point is 00:09:57 From Tick-Tock trends like Lucky Girl syndrome to the whisper method, everyone wants to create a little luck for themselves. And one not suitable for work trend has left some people feeling hot and bothered. The O method is a sex magic with a K. A sex magic. A sex magic manifestation ritual that taps to the power. Yeah, this is the stuff that you won't dabble in at all, right. This is flies in the face of God. No, no, no, no. Only, this. It. It. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is a. This is a this is a the. This is a the. This is. This is a the the the the dark eyes. Yeah, this is the stuff that you won't dabble in at all, right? This is flies in the face of God. No, no, no, no. Only, this is an evil form of magic that I know Ethnicetus is very adapting,
Starting point is 00:10:33 but I dare not tread this path. This podcast endorses the use of white magic, you know, healing magic things of that nature. The natural magic of druids, sex magic, no, it's a step too far. Despicable stuff mate. Yeah, so to say sex magic manifestation ritual that taps into the power of climaxing. Yes, you heard that right. I wasn't questioned. I didn't hear it, I read it in your magazine. I love what an article tells me that. Yes, you heard it in your magazine. Yeah, I love what an article tells me that. Yes, you heard it in your internal modelogue as you're reading this.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Probably in your own voice, by the way. Experts say, experts? Experts? Wow, okay. I thought they were going to be sex-spers involved in this one. No. They got their best boffins on this there were going to be sex experts involved in this one, but it's regular experts. They got their best boffins on this. Experts say that you can harness the high vibrations of an orgasm to enchant your manifestations. Going straight to hell.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Oh my God. So what? When you're about to, how do you put it, bust a nut? You have to think about the thing that you want most in this world and then it will happen. Oh, that's where you're wrong. That's where you're wrong. The O method helps you speak or scream what you want into existence. So you don't think it blasted out there into the universe. Yeah, it has a verbal component if we're describing it as a dungeon of dragon spell.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Although I guess also a semantic component because you have to masturbate. Yes. Wow. You know, probably, if I think back to moments of climax, usually in those moments, my one true wish is to experience the climax. So I think, I guess that this is real because a lot of the times I'm like, oh my gosh, this feels so nice. And that's what I want. I'm having an orgasm.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Oh, it's true. He is. I love the thought of thinking back over the moments of climax in your life. Like imagine that you're an older gentleman sitting by the French, th. of letting your thoughts drift over your moments of climax you've experienced in your life. It's the guy in Cinema Paradisa watching all those clips of people kissing but it's just him going, oh my gosh, that's awesome. I think generally though when it comes to moments of climax I'm not remembering anything because I'm generally thinking absolutely nothing at the time.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You're not really going... What was I trying to achieve this week? What was I trying to achieve this week? I should be yelling about that right now. You're feeling perfect presence, you're just like I'm in this moment right now. Exactly. My one moment where I feel connected to the world, that I'm not hampered by tiny screens all over me. Mm-hmm. Well, I mean, honestly, how frequently is any of us moments away from busting a nut and
Starting point is 00:13:37 saying to ourselves, now what do I have on? What goals was I trying to achieve? something I should be speaking into existence right now. You shouldn't give yourself a job to do. No. No. As part of this, you're already got something on. You don't be like, oh fuck, I've got homework to do while I'm coming. Yeah, and to be honest, I actually think it's going to interfere with the execution of the orgasm. If I have to like get a little piece of paper out out, and unfold, and unfold, and th. And th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. th. th. th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi, thi, thi, thi of the orgasm if I have to like get a little piece of paper out and unfold it and go, oh here's what I, here's what I wrote down earlier to manifest, yeah, getting ready to scream it in five.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Better dividends on my various investments, sir. I think this is a, this is perhaps a technique for people to have singular goals in life where their mind is always on that goal and achieving that goal. So in these moments of pure bliss that comes alongside an orgasm, their mind is completely clear, their focus returns to that goal and they say scream with the new effort, oh yeah I'd love to own a house one day. It's very funny to me to imagine someone that has like, I'm just not a particularly ambitious person that like I don't have any strong enough goals in my life that I feel like I need to be using magic to achieve them. Yeah. Like everything that the nice things I want in life are like if it happens, that's a freebie.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I'm not, I'm not that dogged about achieving the things that I want. I think you owe it to Buntavista to scream number one on iTunes next time. You bust. And not in like a weird small country, like Australia. Specifically Australia. Yeah. Number one on the comedy podcast charts, Australia, Apple, Apple, it's too late. Oh no. It dribbled out at the end, no.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Yeah, I think you're really, you're really going to, see this is the problem. You're really going to want to like focus up that goal beforehand because it can't be like a few sentences. Maybe you can't be getting too specific. You need to do the thing from inception where you get to the kernel of the idea in its raarest form. The guy who made plasma response to my email within the next 14 to, uh, I use the form on his website and everything. I just thought it would work.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Now this might sound too good to be true, but you know what they say, probably the aforementioned experts. Don't knock it until you try it. Very convincing argument. It might sound made up, but give it a go! Yes. The O method is a manifestation technique that uses the law of attraction, sex magic, and orgasms to attract your desires.
Starting point is 00:16:34 In sex magic, orgasms are said to be, just throw that one out there, said to be one of the most powerful tools for manifesting your desires. The idea behind the O method is that you can tap into the creative power of the cosmosos. Cosmos. Cosmos. Cosmos. Cosmos. Cosmos. Cos. Cos. the cosmos. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that is that that the that the the the the the the the the the the the most powerful tools for manifesting your desires. The idea behind the O method is that you can tap into the creative power of the cosmos by timing your manifestations with a moment of pure pleasure. You can cast a number of spells using sex magic, but remember the consent is required in all aspects of intimacy. I mean, that's obviously true, but also it seems weird to just randomly throw that part into that sentence.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Well, I kind of feel like there's, I feel like there's two possible implications there. I don't want to go down one of those roads. But the other is, does the other person, does the person of the spell that you are casting? Wow, okay. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Whoa, I didn't consent to you being number one on the Australian podcast comedy charts on Apple podcasts. Or I didn't consent to being around magic or the practice of witchcraft, which I don't brook with. Yeah. Especially to find a sex magic, in the moment I would be livid. I would be livid to be known that I'm part of sex magic. I might no longer be able to get into heaven now because of what you've done. You really fuck things up for me. If you were doing earth magic while we were having sex, that'd be one thing. But sex magic?
Starting point is 00:18:06 No, sir. Exactly. Oh, you're communing with wild spirits the whole time? Okay, fine. Oh, you were practicing sex magic? Get the fuck out of my house. I only agree to suck you off, Alista Crowley. I did not think you were going to bring me into your sick and twist occultist games. You can't use magic to force someone to fall in love with you, so stop trying.
Starting point is 00:18:29 We suggest using the O method when you're having solo fun, or when you're having, or to try it with a trusted partner like Alistair Crowley. Yeah. Notoriously trustworthy. Alista Crowley. So this is exclusively for sorceries and their apprentices, I would say, that are in that kind of relationship. Yeah, yeah. A bit of it like, you know, obviously a bit problematic. The power dynamic isn't great there. Mickey. Mickey. I need to talk to you in my chambers. Ha ha!
Starting point is 00:19:07 If you've seen a viral video about the O method lately, and I'm sure we all have. This method makes your dreams come true. Next time you bust a nut. You can thank Tick ToTocker Sarah Pearl at Hot High Priestess. Thank you, Sarah Pearl. Pearl made a video in September 2022 sharing all the dirty details behind the method, explaining, quote, when you're having fun alone or with someone else, at the very peak, you will be vibrating at a very high level.
Starting point is 00:19:44 True. Yeah, my vibrations are off the chart at the very peak, you will be vibrating at a very high level. True. Yeah, my vibrations are off the chart at that point, generally speaking. That's usually the last thing I say, like, oh my gosh, I'm vibrating at such an immense level. I could not be vibrating at a higher level right now. Look at my head right now. Look at how much I'm fucking vibrating. According to Pearl, this is probably one of the experts
Starting point is 00:20:07 that we were referring to before. According to Pearl, and that's Pearl like the knitting, not like the thing that comes out of a clam. An oyster, a clam. Or like the programming language, or scripting language. So according to Pearl, the energy created when you orgasm is so powerful that it has the potential to open a portal in the universe to align your manifestation. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah, this has taken into like a whole new sort of sci-fi concept level for me, where before I thought it was just like vibes-based, you know, the universe will help you out. The universe loves us all. I have noticed spinning vortexes opening up during my times of climax. Yeah, you've been sort of donny dark-darkoed. Yeah, babe, do you see that bright blue light shooting up into the sky or is it just me? And they're like, no, I never see it when I never see it when I'm with you, but when I'm having my single alone fun time yeah maybe I see them. Oh yeah no I saw the portal too it was great it was great for me when I saw the portal. Oh wow a portal is opening up I promise you right now in this moment I see a portal.
Starting point is 00:21:17 That been in Donnie Darko where Frank asks him if he's ever seen a portal. He's teasing him about whether he's ever had an orgasm. You ever seen a portal? No, I don't think you have. You hate to hear your partner say, uh, can you use that portal to manifest an orgasm for me also? I don't like the idea of, um, you know, opening a portal in the universe and maybe something you don't want to come through comes through. I feel like we're messing with dangerous sex magics. Well, you know, it's really two ways it could go. It could be like a doom situation where you open a portal hell, which is not good.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Or it could be a hellboy situation and you get a hellboy. Yeah, unfortunately more likely these days, it will be a couple of Spider-Man's coming out of it. Yeah, it's true. Unfortunately, it will be a Spider-Man summoning situation. Fuck, it's 12 more Spider-Man. Oh gosh, no. Oh boy. Oh brother, Toby McGuai is hanging out in my post-orgasum stench. I just saw a little article before with, you know, the extremely hated CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, David Zazlav.
Starting point is 00:22:32 David Zazlav. One of my heroes, he loves movies. A guy helps make movies so I respect the heck out of him. But yes, I just saw a thing of him saying, saying, hey, we've really been underusing the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings properties. Oh my God. That's not what you want to hear. That's a guy about to merge universes.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Yep. Yep. Let's get some Spider-Man in there. I don't need that. I love movie executive brains so much. And you're like, I didn't even that. I love movie executive brains so much. It's like, you're more about the more every day. You're like, what? I didn't even though this guy existed and now I know like he's evil? It's like, what the hell's going on? You should just be mining his business, like I assume they did in the 80s. I think they should just let directors come to them and say, hello I would would like to make an interesting film and they go wonderful, here's a hundred million dollars, good luck out there.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Don't tell them what to make. Don't say no to some of their stuff. Yeah, that's, well, I think you have your wish. I think I know. When you wish upon the show. Yeah, I think the, I think we're establishing their, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, think, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th... th. the, the, the, the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. to. the. to. the. the. the. thethey're, I think we're establishing a method right now for those directors to find success. That's right. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I want to hear Vincenzo Natale about to bust the night and go, I'm father going to make my cyber movie. Verna Hurt's talking sex magic is such a wonderful mental image. One more moofy, please. So, you know, Ms. Pearl suggests using this trick to attract love, but many users share in the comment they'd seen success using the OO method to manifest money. Money. Success and new opportunities.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Ooh, one opportunity please. Money, success and new opportunities is such a fun combo of things to me. Because they all sort of sound like they're describing fun combo of things to me. Because they all sort of sound like they're describing the same thing a little bit. They sound very business oriented to me. Yeah, this bums me out because it really makes me picture people fucking people who post a lot on LinkedIn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:39 You know? That's where you go to get laid. LinkedIn is one of the most sick hives on the internet for getting laid. But I like also like the idea of someone like, you know, thinking going, instead of being so selfish about money, going like, they desperately want critical acclaim and like, I want to be lauded by my peers. I'm going to need to stop thinking about how you need to manifest like 2,000 likes and shares among oh I want more market penetration
Starting point is 00:25:15 and customer rich yeah about to bust and saying oh please let a sea level executive at Amazon share my post this like woo-wo shit with like business hustle stuff is so upsetting There's a this I think it's like a I don't even want they call themselves like a spiritual guidance place or whatever near the bar that I work and on their little sandwich board a frame thing out the front one of their line items is like Exploring the divine feminine and financial success. Like that's a one statement where you're like, those two things don't, what are you try to do there? I don't know, it's such a weird mix of like, yes, we're all Mother Nature, we're all on this earth. The feminine feminine is divine, and also let's get that paper. Wow, wait, what kind of business is this?
Starting point is 00:26:08 I don't know, I think they all feel like weird financial advice but also spiritual advice. I've had a hard time trying to figure out what it is. That's a winning combo right there, isn't it? Yeah. There's no way you can lose with those two merged together. That's right, the big two. I feel like every time there's a emerging spiritual and financial interests, it often results in like, and you should give me most of that money? Perhaps.
Starting point is 00:26:34 That have really sought out your spiritual stuff. We can both win here. So, the O-Methidhirture, harnesses your sacral energy. The chakra fueling your their in their in their in theiringing your theiring your theiring, their their their their, their, the O-Method ritual harnesses your sacral energy. The chakra fueling your creativity, pleasure, and sexual gratification. You can use the O-Method to manifest any of your dreams and desires, but it's best used to attract love or deepen existing relationships. See, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And you just told me that I can't use it to make someone fall in love with me, but then you're going to tell me I can manifest any of my desires and use it to attract love. Well, I think I'll defend them on this one. I think they're making the distinction between opening the universe to bring love towards you versus picking one person and then using evil sex magic to thrown. I'm using my orgasm to open portal and attract a Spider-Man directly to me and we may or may not fall in love. That's right. I would also say you know one of the terms used to describe Koilis itself is making love. So perhaps that's all they mean is like you are in fact making love regardless. Generating love. Yeah regardless. Maybe that's what the vibrations are. I'm starting th th th th th th to they they th they th. th. th. they they th. th. th. they th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi they thi thi they thi they they they they thi they they thi they may they may or may or may or may or may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they may they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that. that. that. that. that. that that. that that that that that that. they're may they're they're they, regardless, maybe that's what the vibrations are. I'm starting to find a lot of beauty in this article. So if you're looking for a way to supercharge your spells like we all are, the O method might
Starting point is 00:27:57 do the trick. The O method works best when you act as though you already have what you want. Okay. No, it. Hey, I'm number one on the Apple Comedy Australia podcast chart. We're all number one on the Australian iTunes Apple comedy podcast charts. So before you get freaky in the sheets,
Starting point is 00:28:18 choose a clear intention you'd like to focus on and work to visualize it. If you're having trouble seeing anything in your mind's eye, try writing a manifestation letter to yourself and sleeping with it under your pillow. A manifesto. A few nights of dreaming about your desired outcome will help you focus during the big moment. Wow. That's exciting because a lot of people sleep with like a gun under their pillow is a dangerous item,
Starting point is 00:28:47 but I would say a manifesto is one of the most dangerous items to have hidden under your pillow. Yeah, it's not a good sign. And when I say a lot of people sleep with a gun to attract a more pleasure. Not anyone I know, I don't think. different down in Sydney. The O method is all about using pleasure to attract more pleasure. Nothing gives me more pleasure than when a sea-level executive shares my post. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:14 If you want to make the most of your sex magic with a sea manifestations, okay, a little inconsistent here. Yeah. A well-stage scene can help get you in the mood Start by lighting your favorite candles and putting on some steamy music music. What kind of wet music we put on fellas? Yeah, what's what springs to mind? Steamy music was probably you know like a Luther van Dross or something. I think he's known for setting moods of a certain aura, you know? You know how it's like a, it's a trope in movies that if someone's like trying to have sex they're put on Barry White?
Starting point is 00:29:51 Do you think people are still doing that? I hope, I hope they are. I hate to admit something personal on a podcast, but when I was a young fella, to the game of sex magic if you will. I did put on, um, God, it's so fucking embarrassing to say. I did put on a Marvin Gay album and it was too much. It was like, this is, this is, I feel like a 40 year old man. I mean, it's, Marvin Guy is amazing, but yeah, it's a little, yeah, you can see the artifice of what you're doing by choosing that, I think, a little too much. It has to be more casual. He's the rating it too much. He's saying let's get it on. I'm like, okay, I'm trying. I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I'm doing it. I'm trying, mate. I'm trying. I'm taking it slow. The second verse in which Marvin Gaye says, you're supposed to have it on by now. Yeah, he's like, okay, what's going on, mate? Nothing's, what's happening? We don't know what's going on right now. Why is it taking so long to get it on? I, see, look, I agree with this. However, I feel like we've really moved past that for wet music. A lot of, a lot of contemporary rap is getting to a point where it makes me go, huh? Excuse me? It's starting to make me react like an old guy. I have some horrible dues about why that might be. Hear me out. Hear me out. We've got, let's get it on. You know, Barry White. I want to make love
Starting point is 00:31:26 to you, you know, pretty boys to men from back in my day, I'll make love to you like you want me to, I'll hold you tight all through the night, right? That's pretty steamy stuff. I heard a song the other day called, Slut him out, by Baby Tate. Yeah. Which opens, I'm trying to slut this beep out, slud him out. Gargle on his kids, then spit him in his mouth. Oh my lord. I told him, Slurp me up like spaghetti. He thought he was a freak till he met me.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I'm finished showing what it's about. And, uh, and it And it gets, it gets pretty wet from there, you know. My God, that's already quite sloppy. That's um, gosh. And you're telling me a baby wrote this song? Hot like a sauna, slipping out the condom. Like, Barry White wasn't saying that. That's all I'm saying. But I would love to have heard him say stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I would love to have heard it. Imagine Barry White is talking about dripping, soak and wet, you know? So look, I would say that's probably the steamier music you could get a hold of these days. Yeah, I don't know if that's necessary setting this, it's not setting the same sort of mood that you're going for. Yeah, I guess I'm old as well. I guess this guy likes dry stuff. Yeah, nothing but pan pipes in this household. And then also of course we're all meant to be lighting our favorite candles so um top five candles Alexi go. Wow okay I actually do have answers for this.. I'm, I'm that. I'm that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th.

I actually do have answers for this. I'm that great fella. Yes. There's a, there
Starting point is 00:33:11 is a brand of candles I love. They are Greek Australian brand called Thematicos and they make beautiful sense. The one that I'm currently burning is it smells of Athens. It smells of Athens is what it's called. It's called Athens. I have not been to Athens, so I'm not familiar with the smell. I've not been back to Athens for a long time since I was a little boy. And I tell you, when I burn this wick, I am remembering my childhood on the streets of Athens.
Starting point is 00:33:41 You are transported back in my mind as if some sort of sick magic is being performed.. to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to th.. It's th. It's th. You're transported. I'm transported back in my mind as if some sort of sick magic has been performed on me. It uses oras of olive all, orange peel, time, jasmine, nighttown, whiteflower, musk, Livani and vanilla. And that, to me, is the exact personality of Athens. They also made one called cinema, which is she smells like popcorn. That seems less high concept. That's the first one. It sounds suspiciously like you have been doing a ritual where you've been opening a portal and transporting yourself. Yeah. Absolutely. And I do come back as a spider man when I go through it. I'm dressed as a spider man. Coming back through the portal, taking the Spider-Man outfit off,
Starting point is 00:34:28 throwing it onto a pile of Spider-Man outfit for the corner. Yeah, that's- Yeah, I'll run them down to the bin. When it's bin night, I'll put some of the 80s and 90s you go through a border you come out the other side completely but-ash, Schwarzenegger naked. Now you go through the portal, you're putting a Spider-Man Ones on. That's it. That's the difference between back in the day and now. And that is what I'm going to be doing on my next stand- different they are. It's mostly Spider-Man, dear.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Back in my day, you go in a polio, you come out a sweaty naked mess and you have to beat up a punk to get your clothes back on. That's it. Now kids coming through, yeah, they're dressed up as a freaking Avenger. Discussing stuff, mate. Yeah, they're not down on one knee with both fists on the ground, they're just kind of flipping out of there, it's disrespectful. They're not honoring the portal. What if he had come out of the portal somewhere that wasn't anywhere near some cool guys? That would have sucked. He was dressed like a dweb. That's a great sketch premise. If he has to beat up a nerd and he's just wearing big, thick, black-rimmed glasses. I'd kind of, I guess, a button-a-a-a-a-a-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-a-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed. the. their. their. the the the the the their. their. their-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed. th. thii-heed-heed-heed-heed-heed-n't-heed-nooooooooo'-n't-nooooooooooooooooooooooerer. theeate. the. the. the. the. th wearing big thick black rim glasses. I'd kind of, I guess, a buttoned-down shirt with short sleeves and a pencil protector for
Starting point is 00:35:49 his pocket. Greasy hair? Yuck! Classic nerd? No, thank you. Just doing the rest of the movie like that. Yeah, he's wearing like a Legend of Zelda t-shirt, the t-sit-o'- my god, he appears in an E-B games or a Zing. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:36:10 The shirt is so tied on him. The O method can be performed solo or with a partner, so as long as everyone is down to make some magic. To try the O method, start by engaging in foreplay as usual. Do either of you know what that is? I... For apply. They've seen that word before.
Starting point is 00:36:35 The, uh, Homer in the, in the child care class. Forplay. Remember, the real magic happens during the in the child care class Foreplay. Remember, the real magic happens during the moment of climax. So be present in the moment and don't be afraid to enjoy yourself while things start heating up. Fellows are either you afraid of enjoying yourselves? No. Sometimes I have that fear, but usually I can push through it. It's getting scared, shaking. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I think I'm about to have a really good time, gosh. Honey, why are you flinching? Why do you keep flinching? Sorry, I was thinking about having fun, so sorry. Then, as you climax, hold in the feeling of your desires before releasing it all to the universe, we know what you're thinking again. Oh my God, this is one of the most smart articles. It knows what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:37:37 It knows I'm thinking about trying to reach out to the plasma guy one more time. Well, good news. They know what you're thinking and yes, multiple orgasms in a row can be used for the same intention, the plasma guy. Multiple. This is a, now we're dealing with dark magic, multiples? Oh no. Well it is more powerful to do it that way, but don't put too much pressure on yourself to perform. It's about the quality of the cosmic connection, above all else. That's what my partner has always said, so I'm glad it's being put in this article. Yes. No, it's fine. It's about the quality of the quality of the...
Starting point is 00:38:22 I swear, that's what it's about. Not the size of the dream. It's about the quality of the cosmic connection. I swear, that's what it's about. Not the size of the dream, it's about the quality of it. It's not about how many Spider-Men come through the portal. But just, once you've done the deed, there's not much left to do. Continue living your life as if all your manifestations will come true. The O-M allow your desires to unfold in the most ideal timing. It's very considerate. So until then, enjoy your life and keep seeking out pleasure. That's a wonderful little like, yeah, that's a lovely thing to say to people. I might incorporate that into my goodbyes to people.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Yeah, it's a great email signature. Keep seeking out pleasure. Ben I think every time you hand a drink over to someone at the bar from behind the bar, enjoy your life and keep seeking out pleasure. And I'll see you in 10 minutes when you come back for another yeah. Over the course of the evening it gets progressively weirder as you're saying it to the same customer for the fifth and sixth time. They come back and yeah pleasure sort give me some more brother. Yep, yep. You're manifesting right now, bro. You're manifesting another beer.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Sex magic might sound like something ripped straight out of the pages of a romance novel. Wow. Not to me, personally. I don't know what I, I'm more thinking like pirates or... The most romantic thing there is. Yeah, I'm thinking of like a, when I think romance novel, I think a cover, guy who looks like Fabio, obviously, Lady in the bodice. It's tearing his shirt apart. Yep. And are either of them doing sex magic at that moment? Not in my mind's eye. Oh yeah. Magic is all about intention.
Starting point is 00:40:14 It acts as a divine force drawing you closer to your ideal reality and can help you open your heart to new experiences like a seventh beer. If you're looking to add a little spice to your life, sex magic is a great way to new experiences, like a seventh beer. If you're looking to add a little spice to your life, sex magic is a great way to harness the energy created during sex, and use it to manifest your desires. It might sound like a lot of woo-woo nonsense. No, not to me, no, no. Weird that they've kind of enclosed woo-wo in two tilds. Yeah, as if they're sort of putting a different intonationationationationationationation intonationation intonation intonation intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in intonation in int kind of enclosed Wu in two tilds.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, as if they're sort of putting a different intonation on it. They're like, don't find me guilty, I'm not the one saying this. Someone else is. Yeah. It might sound to you, but not to me, like a lot of woo-boo nonsense. But experts say, it's one of the most powerful rituals you can use to co-create with the universe. That's such a fucking phenomenal sentence, start to finish. Might sound like a lot of woo-wo nonsense, but experts say it's one of the most powerful rituals.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Oh great! Well, tremendous. I thought it sounded like woo-wo nonsense. I didn't realize that experts say that's how you co-create with the universe. So that's amazing. The universe is my collaborator, by the way. That's awesome. That's also quite beautiful. Put that on a bumper sticker. The universe is my collaborator. Put that on your LinkedIn post.

This comes to us from the Manchester evening news. Not even one of the lives spent. No, I think it's owned by the the us from the Manchester Evening News. Not even one of the live spent. No, yeah, I think it's owned by the same group. They're all the same one website basically.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Wow, so you can only log on in the evening? That's right. That's crazy. Just what's going on at night time. When the sun begins to set, this is when this paper goes life, babe. Uh, from the Manchester Evening News. Shoppers left stunned after supermarkets sell mince pies, despite UK's heat wave. Crazy. That's fucking me up, left reeling. Just absolutely falling, vomiting in the store. Riats. Just absolutely falling out, vomiting in the store. Riats.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Shoppers have been left stunned after supermarket started stocking mince pies and selection boxes, despite Britain basking in record temperatures. Some Tesco customers dubbed the chain's festive decision quote Ridiculous While one scroog said it forces people to spend more money at Christmas How yeah, I'm not sure about the logic behind this one They're different way of thinking are over there. They got completely different brain set than I do. I am not good is it? It's really different. It's really different. It's really different. It's really different. I? I don't the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th th th th the the th the the the the the the tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tru tru tru tru true true true true true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. the the the the the the the the the the the the the trthere. They got a completely different brain set than I do. It's not good, is it? It's really different. It's really, really different. I don't know how else to describe it politely. It's really, really different. But it's also, they do have a point. I think fruit mince pies are foul. They're disgusting flavor on those things and I would even say horrendous texture. It's like you bite into the most crumbly biscuit and then inside you got their most
Starting point is 00:44:51 fucking like, the fruit flavor on those things is it's not a real fruit. It's like, um, are you after a treat? Can I put a bunch of orange peel in that for you? You want something tasty? Would you like some citrus rind? Piled into your little treat? I think I was always really annoyed as a kid because they have the form factor of a party pie. Yep.
Starting point is 00:45:17 So I was like, well, this would be fucking delicious. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, it's going to be, you know that's sweet so it's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you're, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. to, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th going to be, you know that sweet, so it's like, oh, we'll be like eating a tiny apple pie. What could be more pleasurable than that? Yuck! And then it's like, you gotta eat this thing. You're like, oh, it's immediately you have like a bitterness and a sourness to you. And it's, they think we should go further. I think we should completely ban them at all times. Yeah, don't have them at all. No way. Especially it's around Christmas time, a time to celebrate your family, Jesus and all the things are important in this world. And then what do you do?
Starting point is 00:45:58 You eat the shitest little, what do you call it? Is Is this dessert a snack? I guess it's a snack. It's an item of confection certainly. Oh. Yeah, not a fan. Well, I started googling Mince Pie UK. Mm-hmm. And it auto filled with mince pie UK law. Whoa. And I went, uh-oh. Okay. So, so just for your information, it was briefly illegal to eat a mince pie and other Christmas treats in the 1650s. To eat them, not even to sell them, like to eat them was illegal? Oliver Cromwell banned mince pies and other Christmas treats in the 1650s in order to tackle gluttony. The band didn't survive for long and the act of eating mince pies is now just a myth.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I feel like people do still eat them, I guess. Yeah. I'd argue are they people. That's, I think that's foul. Monsters? Strangers to be. Aliens. Pictures from the supermarket Savile Street store in Sheffield show shells full of Christmas puddings, mince pies and panitone. Panitone? Panitone? Panitone? Panitone? I don't know. I say Patrony. Yeah, yeah. I actually would love that year round, Panatoone's. Yeah. That's actually what I love about Christmas most is
Starting point is 00:47:30 I can eat a Panatoone, no problem for breakfast. I toast, I put it a bit of butter on it, and I'm like, my God, it truly is the festive season. Have you ever done the Panatoni French toast? Um, yes, guilty, caught me, I've done it. That's good shit, that's good shit. The Isles are also stocked with Cadbury's selection boxes, lint chocolate Santa's and boxes of celebrations and quality streets. And also in Manchester City Centre with Tesco on Deansgate stocking the Christmas treat. I think that...
Starting point is 00:48:07 Villanous. Like specifying specific stores seems kind of odd. Like they're chained supermarkets, they're on like a similar sort of stock system. They'll probably be happening at all of them if it's happening at one of them. I don't think it's so much about a misunderstanding of the stock system as it is a subtle call for vigilante justice. Oh, they're posting addresses. The Tesco on Dean's Gate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:33 There is only two staff members at the store between the hours of 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Do with that what you will. The Tesco across the street from Royal Chicken, down by the park. There's a guy coming in and is like, are you, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, 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, their, oh, oh, oh, their, they they' their. Oh, their. Oh, their, they, they, they, they, they, they, they. Oh, they, they, they, they. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their. Oh, their, their, their. They, th. They, thing. They, thing. They're the, thi. They're the, the. They're the. They're the. They're, they're they're, they're, oh, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their, co across the street from Royal Chicken down by the park. There's a guy coming in who's like, are you secretly stocking Santas on the cameras? What you got? You got little Santas out here. This is like they're called to arms like Fricking like Pizza Gate. This is like UK's version of Pizza Gate. They're going to be getting angry fellas in there with shotguns trying to get them to get rid of Santa's and Patatoni's. You got a basement full of Santa's, let me down there!
Starting point is 00:49:12 Firing off a couple of rounds from an ancient rifle. We're barely into September, mate, and you're putting this shit on us freaking shelves. A bunch of a bunch of Manchesterian candidates, you know? activating when they hear Tesco Cadbury's selection box. Honey, where are you going? He's just picking up the biggest kitchen knife you can find the blank face storming out of the apartment.
Starting point is 00:49:40 It comes just a day after the hottest day of the year was recorded on Thursday when temperatures of 32.6 degrees Celsius were recorded in Wisley, Surrey. Another record loomed today as the heat wave continued, marking six consecutive September days above 30 degrees, beating 5 set in 1911. So now they've just pivoted from a very silly story about people getting worked up about supermarkets to depressing news about how climate change is affecting the planet. We might not make it to Christmas, why don't we celebrate it now? Yeah, eat those Santa's because who knows if we'll never get a chance to do it again.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Oh, me chockies are melting. Met office forecasters are even suggesting seven days in a row above 30 degrees for some areas ending on Sunday. One shopper in Sheffield called Amanda said she feels like shops putting up their Christmas stock is quote making people worry more about the cost of living. She said, it's ridiculous. It's getting earlier each year and you're forced to feel the cost of living. She said, it's ridiculous. It's getting earlier each year and you're forced to feel the financial pressure already. We still have Halloween and Bonfire Night to think about. Oh wow.
Starting point is 00:50:54 That's so true. What do you- What's Bonfire Night? Do they still do that kind of stuff there? Yeah, I think it's to make sure the harvest is good. What do you have to buy for bonfire night? I don't know. You've got to like buy some furniture to break up and throw on the bonfire I guess. Oh, that's the... I've burned on my old shit last year in bonfire night. Is that the guy forks one? I think they are burning a wickerman. Wife-a-man. th, I. I they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

My goodness. I gotta say, I hope nobody ever burns a big effigy of me. That's when you know something's gone a little wrong. That's when podcasting goes too far. I think you found your wish mate. Lock it, loathe it, hold it in.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Every time I bust a nut and nobody has burned an effigy of me that week and be like, it works. The system works. You know it works. Now that is some dark magic. These guys love making a big bonfire. That's good old-fashioned fun. I'm looking at pictures of like, fucking huge crowds.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Unsettlingly big crowds. This is crazy. This is how we all found out about a new holiday they have in England. It's like from an article about Shell was being stocked with too much Christmas crap in September. And I still don't fully understand how it factors in. Like what do you have to think about Bonfire Night that it's occupying mental space you can't give to Christmas? Oh.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Do you have to buy an effigy? Do you have to buy Guy Falk's night gifts for your kids? Like what, maybe there's like other things that they have to have on shelves to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, to, to, to, the, the, to, the, the, tho, tho, the, the, tho, the, tho, thi, their, thi, the, thi, their, thi, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thia, thi, thiaugh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's it. Like what, maybe there's like other things that they have to have on shelves that's like, this is Guy Fork's Night stuff. We've got a little lynch with like a little anonymous faces on them and stuff. Yeah, mask budget doesn't allow for it. I also am not quite threading the needle here, right, between this stuff being put on the shelves now, Christmas puddings, mince pies and such, and being forced to spend more money at Christmas? Like just don't buy them now? Or are you meant to be buying them now and
Starting point is 00:53:18 storing them away because they'll be more expensive at Christmas? I don't, I'm not really getting the logic of like, this is forcing us to spend more money? They know that if we see th pudding th pudding th pudding thinks th thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks that if we thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, and mince, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, getting the logic of like, this is forcing us to spend more money. They know that if we see mince pies, we just fucking buy them. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. It's that they think that just the more they see them, there's a there's a small chance that they will purchase them. So the longer they're on the shelves their the th. the the their their their their their their their tho their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. the. the. they're they're they're they're they're thi. thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thi. they'll thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. te. te. tttttttttttttttte. tto. tto. te. te. they're they're they're they're they're they're they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll the. to buy. They know it's a compulsion. She picks them up. I have just gone down a little rabbit hole in these last moments because I was very curious if there was like you know treats that should be on sale drink bonfire night and I have found an answer. There is a treat called bonfire toffee, alsoot is a hard brittle toffee associated with Halloween and Guy Forksnight, also known as Bonfire Night in the United Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:54:10 The toffee tasks very strongly of black treacle aka molasses and cheap versions can be quite bitter. In Scotland, the treat is known as Clagham and with Leslie's sweet versions known as Clack. In Wales it is known as Lossondue or Taffy Triog. The flavor is similar to that of butterscotch, although it is a toffee and never a viscous liquid. What? We spend so much time on this podcast shitting on Americans for being weird that it feels really
Starting point is 00:54:40 nice to find like another example of the English just being absolute freaks. What are you talking about? You're setting about your fires and then you're giving weird to your kids? That's not a holiday. That's not anything. Mmm, more claggum. More clack? More clack?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Go on then, have some more clack. Mmm. I love claggum, thanks, mother. This claggum is brilliant. Thank you. Quote. The kids have still got back to school and they've already put them out. It's making people worry more because of the cost of living crisis. It feels like it's a way of getting us to spend more of Christmas.
Starting point is 00:55:29 To spend more of Christmas. Hey, you're making me spend some of my Christmas now in September. I was saving that for Christmas. That lady does have a point. One frustrated, well no, I'm wrong voice, one frustrated shopper posted on social media. Did someone say Christmas? Do you Tesco, they did not? GURR. Another said, Christmas can piss off back to the middle of winter where it belongs. It belongs! Ha ha ha ha! Fucking get up. Get it.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Christmas to piss off is so funny. That's so funny. Piss off Christmas. Fuck off Halloween. Back to winter. I banish thee to winter. You don't want to be sick of Christmas by the time you do see it, you know, fucking here's Christmas again.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah. Forced to deal with you all September long. However, some people have praised the supermarket's decision as it means they can't avoid the last minute rush on Christmas Eve. Ashley Chester of Leeds said, Christmas can't come early enough for me. I'd have me tree up this weekend if my girlfriend's again if the Christmas again. this again. this again. this again. the Christmas again. Ashley Chester of Leeds said, Christmas can't come early enough for me. I'd have me tree up this weekend if my girlfriend had let me. That's awesome. I love a guy.
Starting point is 00:56:55 This is one of the great guys. A classic Christmas psycho. He's got a little man cave set up, put his Christmas trees in. He's always got a nativity scene set up underneath his PS5. It's like, yeah, that's awesome, man. This dude's about to bust, and he says, Oh, let's be have the trees up for four months of the year. September Christmas tree.
Starting point is 00:57:19 One person posted on Facebook. I'm happy to buy early. Buy it or don't. Everything else you need is still there so just walk on past if it's too early for you. That's the most level-headed English person that has ever existed. Yeah, immediately like blocked from the Manchester live Facebook page. This would be like a perfect like, you know, black mirror episode was like, yeah, the government is making Christmas mandatory all year round, so you have to be happy all the time. Yeah, they're watching you. If you're not smiling when you look at the Santa's, you're out of
Starting point is 00:57:57 there. If you're not wishing someone a very Merry Christmas, you're gonna fucking be put in the clink, and there'll be no clack for you in the clink, mate, and there'll be no clack for you in the clink. You could call the episode, have yourself a very merry Christmas, or else. Another clackless Christmas. It's very sad. It's very sad. Another said, that's the idea. Start buying bits now rather than last minute rush on the 24th December. I feel like there's a middle ground. There's a middle between those. bits now rather than last-minute rush on the 24th December. I feel like there's a middle ground. There's a middle between September and like two hours before Christmas officially starts.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Yeah. Maybe that is what we need, a government-mandated official start to Christmas. I think that technically might have been an episode of the podcast. Put a Vista. Alexi, thank you so much for joining us. My pleasure. It was so much fun. It was great to find out about British people and sick and twisted dark arts, known as magic, orgasms.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Those are the two things that we talk about the most, so it's kind of perfect. You have a podcast. Well, for all I know dozens of podcast, but special features, yeah, that you're doing with our friend of the show Cam James. Cam James and I are back in the realm of podcasting. We're talking about popular culture, the past, the present, the future, pop culture on special features, but mainly we're just mucking around, it's a muckin' around podcast. Unlike this one, strictly business. Yeah, 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. thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho' tho' tho, thoes, thoes, thoes, tho, thoes, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. We th. Yeah, th. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the is the an theat, theat, theaa' thoan, thoan, thea' is theat, theat, theat, theat, the. It's a mucking around podcast. Unlike this one, strictly business. Yeah, so we've got two episodes a week at the moment, and yeah, it's been, it's so fun, I love podcasting. It's one of my favorite hobbies, that's also one of my career parts. It's so good that you can combine the two without it ruining it for you. That's lovely. And of course we got BOLF. Yeah, so BOLF starts on the 22nd of September. Lexi, you're up here for the second weekend of BULF, I believe. I think we've
Starting point is 00:59:51 got you for, we've got you for body melt as we said before and for Reanimator on Saturday the 30th I want to say. I believe it's Saturday 30th of September and it'll be a wonderful double feature of two of the classic goo movies, Reanimator and of course body melt. Two great films, great great films. You can get tickets to ball stuff at Bolf.com come hang out in the foyer and then inside the movie inside the cinema while the movie is playing. That would be the best place to be. I will speak to you if you approach me, I will speak to you. That is part of the thing we stipulated in your contract. You must be convivial. You must be gregarious. If you must swan around. If approached, you must interact, I'll do it. I'll interact.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Well, that's it from us. We'll see you perhaps in the bonus episodes if we're lucky. If not, we will see you next week or Adolf, whichever happens first. Bye. Bye. Bye. you
