Hello and welcome to Buntavista, episode 366.
I am Ben and look, this is crazy, but would you like to get off the train with me here
in Vienna?
Like, I know we only just met, but look, okay, so I fly out tomorrow, but
I didn't really have enough money for a hotel. So my plan was I was just going to like spend
the night walking around and like, I feel like we had a connection. And I feel like
maybe you felt that too. And I was really hoping that you'd like to join me.
Um, Oh, I'm, I'm so glad you feel the same way.
Let me just, I'm going to go grab my bags and the other two members of my
polycule, uh, this is my partner, Craig.
He has a bit of a thing about trains.
So don't be too put off if he spends the whole night sort of telling you a lot
of train facts or asking you a lot of questions about how you feel about trains or what happened on your train trips.
This is Craig. It's Lucy. Hi Lucy.
Hi.
You're Craig.
I don't look like Ethan Hawke at all.
No, you're sort of in a...
Do we describe men as homely ever?
We should. Like for me personally, you should be.
Yeah, you are kind of homely.
I have kind eyes though, kind eyes.
That's true.
I don't think Celine is going to be put off by you necessarily.
Why would you be?
I'm very engaging.
I know a lot of facts about trains.
Yeah, and she just spent quite a lot of time on a train so I think she would love.
So she must like train.
She's like really easy to talk to.
So I think.
She could have flown, right?
So like she must have chose a train on purpose.
Yeah.
Um, oh, and sorry, this is, uh, this is my other partner, uh, who is also called
Craig and he also has a thing about trains.
So, um, same, same morning, I guess it's Theo.
Hi Theo.
Hey, how you going?
No, this isn't actually a tram. It's a light rail. guess. It's Theo. Hi Theo. Hey, how you going? Well, this is actually a tram.
It's a light rail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Great.
I don't think he knows much about trains at all.
That's not true at all.
Two, two, one.
Oh, my Craigs are fighting.
I hate it when my Craigs fight.
Theo, you've not seen the movie that that was a thing about, have you?
I've seen it.
I think, I just don't particularly remember it very well.
You dog.
You piece of shit.
Before sunset, after midnight.
Before sunrise.
Yeah.
Before sunrise.
Yes.
None of the three of them are called after midnight, but all three of them
are before, yeah.
Okay.
Before, before sunset, before lunchtime. Before sunrise, before sunset, before midnight.
That's right.
Alright.
They're wonderful movies.
You should re-watch them.
The first two.
I saw the first one.
Check them out.
Yeah.
You should watch the second one.
The second one's beautiful.
How long ago do you reckon you watched the first one?
Oh, probably...
five years ago?
Okay, wait four more years and then watch the second one and it's going to hit so hard.
Unless you can't remember.
Nine years between.
There's been nine years between.
Yeah.
But I better rather re-watch the first one now.
So I've got, get my nine years in as early as I can.
Maybe you could.
And I can see that again in 2833.
Yeah.
Pick your Ethan Hawke. I haven't. Pick your Ethan Hawke. I haven't see that again in 2833. What's your ideal Ethan Hawke? Yeah, pick your Ethan Hawke.
I haven't seen that much Ethan Hawke, to be honest, apart from him.
Okay, my ideal Ethan Hawke is him doing interviews, just like sort of with this kindness and intelligence.
Older, older.
That he speaks.
Kind and warm and intelligent, doesn't he?
Like his character in the before movies is real.
Yeah, yeah, except that guy's really annoying and I never find real Ethan Hawke that annoying. Hell, doesn't he like his character in the before movies is real. Yeah.
Yeah.
Except that guy's really annoying and I never find the real Ethan Hawke that annoying.
He, I think this is something about watching those movies as perhaps a man is that the
first time you watch the movie, let's say you're in like your early twenties and you
watch it and you're roughly the age Jesse is supposed to be.
You see yourself so much in that character that you don't realize that he is a really annoying guy
Yeah, and when you're a 20 year old woman you think wow, that's the perfect man
Like that's the ideal guy and then you turn 30 and you're like Jesse is so fucking annoying
Yes, yeah, but then you watch the second movie and you're like, oh they've grown a little bit
But they're both still kind of the same. same, but in a way that's nice.
There's a nice bit of realism there, I think.
I think that movie has shockingly profound depths of characterization to it that all
of them do that really makes you reevaluate them over time.
Hmm.
You're in the pocket of Big Link later.
I am, and he's not that big.
I would love to be carried around these little pockets, watching him
make his delightful films.
Did you guys like Boyhood?
I never saw Boyhood.
I own it on Blu-ray and I haven't watched it.
You should.
It's, it's good.
It's, it's kind of pointless and meandering.
Like, it doesn't have a plot arc.
Isn't that like life?
Yes.
That's very true. And there's one part of it that comes off as being profoundly
patronising to the point of racism on the behalf of the director and writer.
Okay.
But other than that, that's really lovely. Really beautiful movie.
Hey, boyhood. That's set in a part of America.
I'm not sure what region it is, but I'm sure there are some things in there that are regional.
It's time for Regional Bullshit.
Regional bullshit.
Every little town has got their own bullshit.
Regional bullshit. It's a really long tale.
This was sent in to us by listener Bernard, perhaps Bernard?
I'm not entirely sure.
I like Bernard.
He should go with Bernard either way.
Think if you're not already going by Bernard, you should probably go by Bernard.
This comes to us from the Louisiana Illuminator.
Great fucking name for a newspaper.
Testing finds mostly foreign shrimp at Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival.
Oh no.
Yeah.
It's fucked up.
They bossing those shrimp in?
Yep.
The Democrats are bussing in the shrimp.
Genetic testing of seafood served at the recent Louisiana Shrimp and
Petroleum Festival in Morgan City found four out of five vendors evaluated
were serving foreign shrimp passed off as local.
Sorry.
Okay.
Yes.
Can we...
Hmm?
I need to address one thing, please.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Louisiana... Yes. Shrimp? Yes. I need to address one thing, please. Louisiana.
Yes.
Shrimp.
Yes.
And petroleum.
That's right.
Festival.
Oh yeah, you betcha.
Problem?
Morgan city, Louisiana.
What's the question that you just sort of said?
Well, I just don't think those two things taste good together.
Yeah.
Well, that would be very-
Kind of a Louisiana thing. Yeah. Uh, that would be very- It's kind of a Louisiana thing.
Yeah.
Uh, nothing but a Louisiana thing.
Oh, Gas Gumbo?
They're celebrating, um, the, the, the two founding industries of their
beautiful, vibrant local community.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
I'd probably keep them separate personally, but I guess, I don't know.
It feels like those, pack them all into
one festival.
Yeah. Maybe those two industries are perhaps at odds with each other.
I can see that. Yeah. You know, I did my usual thing of sort of going through their schedule
of events and stuff. This is getting a little ahead of ourselves, but sorry. There's a lot of stuff related to shrimp. Okay, yes. And not an awful lot of stuff related to petroleum.
Petroleum, okay.
All right.
That's good.
So there's, you can go on board one of the world's first floating oil drilling rigs,
Mr. Charlie, which is always there and part of a museum.
So you can always do that.
That's not festival specific.
Uh, there is a blessing of the fleet where I believe an ordained
Catholic priest will just bless all the boats that turn up in the bay that day.
Okay.
Is he flicking his water out there?
Do you think?
He's probably got a water gun, just to get the distance.
And there's the Petro Pit.
Ooh, what's that?
It's the VIP lounge of the festival, where you can pay $50 and there's like special exclusive
stuff that happens inside the Petro Pit, but they don't say what.
Is it like ladies gas wrestling?
I think it's ladies, yeah, they're just in crude oil and they're getting the...
They're fighting, but you know, they're...
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh.
Yeah, that's 100% what's happening in the Petro pit.
Yeah, which fellas go crazy for that.
And a few ladies these days, the way things are.
Sure.
The testing was performed at the Five Day Festival over the Labor Day weekend by CD
Consulting.
Hey, check out this new diadem.
Yeah.
We hit our KPIs, ladies and gentlemen.
A food safety tech company that recently developed a rapid seafood species identification test. Is it just looking at it?
It's a look at it
Craig could basically name all kinds of shrimp there is he can tell from looking
Craig can basically name all kinds of shrimp there is.
He can tell from looking.
A company owner, Dave Williams of Houston said local shrimpers in Louisiana
invited him to Morgan city to try out his technology at the festival.
First held in 1936 and where attendees would expect to find local catch.
You can kind of see that there's already like a kind of a subtext there. So the local shrimp has asked him to do it because they know it's not their
shrimp that's being sold at the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival.
They know what's happening, huh?
You really should check out the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival to-
Well, buy your ticket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just to give that all-
We'll buy some beers.
Give Craig a workout.
Stay in my spare room.
I'll put you up.
Just go and test that shrimp because, um, I don't want to prejudice you, but I'm just saying.
I think you'll be very interested.
Some of that shrimp looked like it had Naxxed.
William said he purchased plates of boiled shrimp from roughly- from five of the roughly
12 seafood vendors at the event.
Terrible coverage.
That's really bad.
There's only 12.
You could have hit up all 12.
Yeah.
Why are you saying four out of five and you only tested five?
He was at the petro pit.
He wanted to spend enough time at the petro pit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He could hear a lot of like giggling and shrieking and he's like, oh fuck, I gotta
get back in the petro pit.
Five will do.
Plus once you get in the petro pit, it's really hard to get out.
Very slippery.
Yeah, there's no path.
You can't come back in.
All five vendors assured him their shrimp came from Louisiana waters, he said.
So four out of five shrimp vendors are liars is the other thing we learned. Yeah.
He analyzed the samples with technology that examined seafood tissue genetics and is not
unlike that used for confirming coronavirus infections.
All right.
Do you swab in the inside of the shrimp's noses?
Give him a little tickle.
A little tickle.
Developed in collaboration.
Do you remember how unpleasant those were? Tickle tickle. Developed in collaboration.
Remember how unpleasant those were or are if you're still frequently doing them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They make me fucking freak out.
My eyes, water.
I'm just like sneezing for like 15 minutes afterwards.
Caitlin, no problem.
Oh really?
Well, she's, she is kind of made of tougher stuff.
She is made of tougher stuff. She is made of tough stuff generally
It's a very that part of the nose was not meant to be touched
No, it's way up there. It's it's further than our fingers go
I remember when when my friends were like very very early on with the first people
I knew were getting tested described the test me. I was like so scared. I was like, holy fuck
I'm never gonna get sick because I don't want to have to get one of those tests.
Did you have COVID?
Yeah, the old ones were nasty. We've all had COVID, haven't we?
Yeah, I think I've had COVID twice now.
Okay.
I thought I was never going to get it. Developed in collaboration with Florida State University
microbiologist Dr. Prashant Singh,
C.D. Consulting's testing kit is slightly larger than a suitcase.
So he's going to this vendor and be like, oh yeah, just carrying this like giant fucking
bag.
Can I just get a plate of boiled shrimp?
Is this local?
That's such a funny image.
And slightly larger than a suitcase just adds a delightful bit of flair where you're like,, well that means it's slightly too big to carry easily. Yes, that is an awkward size
You're logging this big old thing around just here for the great atmosphere
Just going up to the vendors like shrimp, please. And um, Oh
Local you say would you stake your reputation on?
Reasons you stake your reputation on it? You promise? Oh, no reasons.
Uh, the testing kit is marketed to food safety inspectors who work in the field.
William said, uh, only one of five vendors, Woodrow's not foreign farm raised shrimp in our great Gulf?
Yeah.
Yeah, the ocean is kind of all connected.
You reckon maybe they escaped?
How do you know?
They could have gone from anywhere.
They must have escaped from the farb.
Yeah.
That's right.
Are shrimp not free to move?
Have you seen a lot of these?
I've seen a lot of these.
I've seen a lot of these.
I've seen a lot of these.
I've seen a lot of these.
I've seen a lot of these.
I've seen a lot of these. I've seen a lot of these. I've seen a lot of these. I've seen a lot of these. I've seen a lot of these. You reckon maybe they escaped? How do you know? They could have gone from anywhere.
Are shrimp not free to move?
Have you seen the size of the ocean and the size of a shrimp?
Looks like it had sort of just go pretty far on a tide.
Yeah, maybe they got the, one of those currents just sort of whipped them up.
Oh, you know, in finding Nemo, when they get in that current with the turtles. With the turtles. That's exactly right. That probably happened with the shrimp.
Like Ecuador's not that far away. No, Ecuador's relatively close. Isn't it? It's all the Americas.
It's all Americas, baby. Yeah. Borders are fake anyway.
Yeah, they're just drawn on. Made up lines, made up by humans.
Yes. Shrimp can't read.
You can't cross an imaginary line.
Unless we're all imagining it and then we sort of set a bunch of rules around it and
then it's very possible for other people to go, hey, you crossed that line.
I can't picture where the line is.
So I can cross it very easily.
You're kind of immune to borders.
I am.
Sort of frees my thinking. That's why
I'm such a genius. Yes, that's why you've come up with all your wonderful inventions.
How did that, you end up using that white noise machine you invented? I haven't got
time for shit. I do want to do stuff. Yeah. With my life. Oh, absolutely. Well, you've
got two beautiful boys.
Two beautiful boys.
Williams acknowledged his festival experiment wasn't controlled enough to withstand scientific
scrutiny.
Okay.
That's true.
Okay.
Because you just sort of brought your briefcase to not even half of the shrimp vendors, but
you did it anyway.
I'm imagining he's coming in. He's finding the highest viewpoint of the festival,
putting down his briefcase, slowly unpacking.
Did you see a mysterious stranger roll into town?
Yeah, his reputation assassination kit.
He said his company's technology has been published in scientific journals and undergone peer review.
The purpose of the festival testing was simply to demonstrate the efficacy of the field test kit.
Well, it seems like what you demonstrated was the duplicitousness of the shrimp vendors at the shrimp festival.
I don't know. I think this guy's dodgy. Undergone peer review is a funny phrase.
That is true.
Yeah, it didn't say pass. I'm not reading a lot phrase. That is true. Yeah. It didn't say past.
I'm not reading a lot of positive sort of words.
It's just like, oh yeah, my stuff isn't scientific.
You know what I don't trust?
Let me tell you what I don't trust and what I do trust.
What I don't trust is some fancy big city CD food scientist rolling in from
Houston, never been in a bayou in his life.
Yeah.
And you know who I do trust?
The good, honest, hardworking shrimp folk of Morgan City, Louisiana.
100%.
Who are you going to believe?
You don't think that like the regular citizen, bayou adjacent coastal Louisianans of Morgan City know what foreign shrimp tastes
like?
Yeah.
They were raised on shrimp boats.
Rolls in in this suit.
Hasn't even spent a moment in the petroleum pit.
He doesn't even know the names of the people there in the petroleum pit.
Candy.
I think he's been paid by Woodrow's Cajun cuisine, frankly.
Absolutely.
100%.
Yes.
I trust all of the shrimp vendors except for Woodrow's Cajun cuisine.
What do they have to do?
Hey, what if farm raised shrimp are simply better?
True.
What if they, what if they taste better?
What if they flourish on the farm?
Yes.
Yeah.
What if it's kind of nice for them to live on the shrimp farm?
What if they want to be there?
What if it's like a shrimp farm that has like farm stays and stuff on it.
What if it's got a little shrimp tractor that they drive around?
Come on children, it's time to milk the shrimp.
All the shrimp have names, they're all really friendly.
They come right up to the door of your little tiny home that you're staying in on your
shrimp farm stay.
Yeah.
The shrimp are here kids!
Ah!
The kids see the farmhand scooping a big net full out, putting it in
the trailer for the abattoir.
Where are they going?
Going only on a different farm.
Yes.
They're going on an excursion today.
Going to an even better, cooler farm that you can't go to.
Of the four vendors selling foreign shrimp, two were local restaurants and the other two
were vendors that exclusively service fairs and festivals, William said.
He declined to identify them by name, saying his testing wasn't meant to embarrass anyone.
Doesn't want to get sued.
Doesn't want to get sued. Doesn't want to get sued.
Also doesn't want a little bayou justice.
Yes.
A little bit of Morgan City retaliation.
Morgan City.
Yeah.
Blood feud.
Vendetta.
You know, someone walks into one of those bayous, might not walk out.
That's all I'm saying.
Oh, he wanted to go sightseeing.
Yeah.
So I took him out on my alligator boat.
On the bike.
And I saw him again.
Then he fell off.
You know, city folk.
He wasn't raised on an airboat.
He doesn't know how you're supposed to stand on him.
It's a damn shame.
He seemed like a sweet guy.
Even though he said that stuff about my mum's shrimp.
He did say, however, festival organizers should hold vendors to a higher standard.
Yeah.
Well, you come in here.
As in they should hire him again and his fucking joke of a suitcase.
Bring it back in with you.
His suitcase is too big.
Travelling circus man.
He has sort of like a drag around like a limp nerd.
My shoulder hurts. All my lab gear is in there.
Get it.
It's kind of, it's kind of messed up that you're talking about, uh, Louisiana
characters and all I can think is Michael Rappaport and, um, and, and, and justified.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it.
You need to see justified.
Yeah.
It's on yourplex.
I started it's, it's so many 45 minute episodes.
Yeah.
And they're all good.
Six seasons of it.
Six perfect seasons.
A handsome guy in there with his beautiful smile and that weird looking guy with his really big smile. Yeah. And they're old best friends. And they kind of play off
each other. Haven't seen it. Yeah. Quote, the person getting the revenue new and the
people at the top definitely, definitely, definitely knew Foreign Shrimp were being
sold. All the way up to the top. Yeah. The top, the people at the top.
The shrimp. You mean Marge and Donald?
Who are you fucking talking about?
Kamala?
Kamala?
Kamala knows this?
Joint chiefs of staff.
I know Biden doesn't know this.
No, Biden doesn't know shit.
No, he doesn't know this.
I keep having like weird moments where I realize he's still president.
He's still president.
And they're like, they're like wheeling him out like that guy that can't, this guy, the singing,
but with the lip singing and he's falling off stage or whatever.
I've watched the videos.
Frankie Valley the other day?
I don't know who he is.
It was no good.
Like that guy.
Yeah, that's like they've got to be giving him like make work because otherwise he'd get cranky, but like he's not doing anything, right?
They've just completely forgotten about it.
They've ditched him entirely.
Oh, it's presidential make work project.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, why don't you go out there and shake some hands?
Who are they?
Doesn't matter.
Let's go shake some hands.
Joe, Joe, just go shake some hands for a couple hours.
And you do what you do best, Joe.
Sniff some hair.
They got him fake hair to sniff now.
He doesn't know.
They got like 40 year old actors dressed as 16 year old girls that he could go.
That's sorry.
That's grim.
They've got those, they got those wigs that they get from real people.
Yes.
Just on a post.
Keeping busy for another hour and a half. Perfect.
Representatives from the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival did not respond to
multiple calls and emails seeking comment.
Yeah.
They're in emergency mode.
They're figuring out what to do about this guy, this city slicker.
Yeah.
You come over here with your PhD, your electric car.
You're going to tell us how we eat our shrimp.
And what if he wasn't on that flight back?
Yeah.
Oh, that's weird.
We saw him at the airport.
We all saw him there.
Yeah, we gave him a lift.
In fact, we wanted to make sure that he got there safe and sound.
We take care of our visitors here.
We look after our guests.
We're looking out for them real kindly.
I'm really loving how you're getting much more confidence with your, um, your accents.
Thank you.
That's, that's William Defoe's rat from.
You see from Louisiana?
Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Fantastic Mr. Fox. Oh, he is absolutely.
I think he's from the South for sure.
Maybe he is from Louisiana because it feels like there's a little bit of French in there.
It absolutely is.
I think he calls someone like Monchery.
He does.
I think he is Cajun.
I might leave the Cajun one alone.
Yeah.
It's my job.
The Cajuns are okay because they're ethnic whites.
Oh, okay.
So don't worry about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's Creole.
We can't touch Creole.
Can't touch Creole.
Cajun, green.
Creole, red.
Okay.
Got it noted.
Uh, so this is the oldest state-chartered harvest festival in Louisiana.
Okay. And this guy's just showing up to ruin it. Yeah. This is the oldest state chartered harvest festival in Louisiana.
Okay.
And this guy's just showing up to ruin it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He thinks he knows shrimp.
You don't fucking know shrimp.
When I close my eyes, I dream of shrimp.
What do you see, city boy, when you dream.
Next year, he'll be bringing his big old suitcase down here to test the petroleum.
This isn't Louisiana petroleum.
This isn't that good old fashioned Louisiana petroleum at all.
This is cut with Ecuadorian Brown.
So one of the other big features of this is that they have a king and a
queen of the festival, which we've seen that in a lot.
Shrimp king? The shrimp king and the shrimp queen?
Show me the shrimp king.
Well, they are, sorry, respectively, they are the shrimp and petroleum king and the
shrimp and petroleum queen.
Okay.
So this year's one, so this just happened like a couple of weeks ago.
So this is the announcement of the two monarchs that were chosen.
We're going to start starting at the Queen here. Natalie Sloane, 18, is the daughter of Joey and Alana Sloane of
Morgan City. Sloane is a graduate of Central Catholic High School. She is currently attending
Nichols State University where she is pursuing a degree in nursing. At Nichols she is involved in
the Beta Iota Sigma club and campus activities.
In her free time, she enjoys staying active, spending quality time with family and friends,
shopping, volunteering when the opportunity arises, and attending church.
America's so cool.
Yeah, they are on their own.
Who's the hottest teen at the teen festival?
You better believe she is a religious sorority girl.
Yeah.
So that was the Queen, so it's Natalie Sloan, 18.
And this is the King.
This one's a little longer.
Daniel T. Conrad, a lifelong resident of Morgan City,
is Senior Vice President and Director of Conrad Industries, Inc.
He graduated from Nicholls State University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree
in management.
Mr. Conrad joined Conrad Shipyard in 1997 where he held numerous positions, including
facility manager, sales manager, and business relations manager.
From 1989 to 1997, Mr. Conrad served in various positions with Venture Transport, Inc., a
specialized oilfield carrier.
Prior to that, he worked for Johnny's Propeller Shop.
So you know, he's got Morgan City in his blood.
Mr. Conrad currently serves on the board of directors for the Atchafalaya Intracoastal
Coalition, the American Longshoremen's Mutual Association, and the
Shipbuilders' Council of America.
He's also a past board member and president of the Petroleum Club of Morgan City.
Mr. Conrad is the son of John P. Conrad Jr. and Mary Lou B. Conrad.
Mr. Conrad's grandfather, Parker Conrad, was the founder of Conrad Shipping and was also
involved in the shrimp industry, owning several shrimp processing plants, as well as transporting
fresh shrimp to various docks along the East Coast.
Mr. Conrad is married to Rebecca Darden Conrad and has four children, Danielle Melek, who
was Queen in 2007, Abigail Carrere, Michelle Conrad and Brett Sennett, five grandchildren.
Mr. Conrad is a parishioner of the Holy Cross Catholic Church.
Now if I could get you two to dip into the document real quick, I'd like you to look
at some photos.
Yeah, that's what I was picturing based on that description of that man.
So he's a shrimp shipyard guy.
Yeah.
And she's like just at 18.
She is, she's just just at a teen she is
She's just 18. She's barely 18 and Queen together and he is like
60 something probably in his early 60s by the look of him. Oh man. She also has a full foot of height on him as well
Yeah, she's much taller than him. It's a great image now., so this is what the couple looks like this year for the 89th, I believe, shrimp
and petroleum festival.
If you scroll down, you'll see last year's.
Yeah, it's like you could just interchange these two people.
It's just a different 18 year old blonde.
So 18 year old blonde girl and an ancient, an elderly man.
An elderly man.
Ancient white man.
These are like, they cut like a Baron-esque figure, don't they?
Like this is an industrialist.
This is like a 70 year old industrialist.
Oh it's the same every year.
Well Lucy, you said blonde every year.
And I'm sorry, there was one 18 year old brunette ancient, ancient old man.
And then we go down.
This is funny.
One traditionally a king and queen are like a couple, but kind of married.
A marriage bed and the moratorium stuff.
They've got sort of a relationship, the king and queen, traditionally.
That is another ancient, in Doxfair list.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
White, blonde, 18 year old.
Jesus Christ.
And then if you scroll down one more, there's one other photo that I found.
Okay, now this is fun.
This is a bit of fun.
They're laughing in this one.
Well, one of them's laughing.
As far as we can tell.
One of them's laughing.
One of them appears to be wearing Joseph's Technicolor KKK hood outfit.
Yes, correct.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm fully masked.
So I don't know if he is wearing...
Yeah, it is essentially a gold KKK hood with a purple plume on top of it and then a sort of medieval
tunic with a fleur de lis on it.
Purple and gold, of course, the colours of royalty.
He's also wearing riding boots and the gloves make it unbelievably sinister.
What a strange combination this is.
This is-
And it's just the only thing you could really see of his whole body is terrible,
flappy old man looking knees.
But yeah, he's wearing tights.
So you could see the wrinkles on the knees, but not the shape of his knees.
This is, this is a KKK wizard outfit with the foil modifier from Bolartre.
This is a holographic 1.5 multiplier to racism.
So this is like-
You want to put that right at the very end so the multiplier applies last.
That's right.
You just started playing Bolartre yesterday and now it's the only thing you're going
to be thinking about for a couple of weeks. I only think about one thing at a time or things that interface with that.
No matter how.
Now I think what I really wanted to get at here is that this is horrifying and it looks
like this is the stuff that they were trying to uncover in season one of True Detective.
Like this is the-
Yeah, yes, absolutely.
This is just-
This is way worse than the Ecuadorian shrimp.
Oh my- why aren't they investigating this?
Why isn't someone bringing a suitcase down and be like, why are you king and queen,
like 50 years?
Like 18 and 60.
Like what's the go?
This is kind of the go there.
Yeah, what's happening there?
Where's the young hunts?
What's in January, December like, yes!
Oh my God, what about the hotties?
The jocks.
Are there no like, hot jocks?
Do you guys not have a quarterback?
Yeah.
I think they're all working the boats.
Yeah, they're probably working the reefs.
Shrimping ain't easy, I'll tell you that much.
They only set up strong enough to shrimp.
All the little hook marks in their hands.
I'm working the boats.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
I also, I don't know if you guys noticed a little detail on the crown there, but
the crowd is like the town's logo, which is also on the set and on the mural
behind them.
Is it a shrimp?
So it is a giant shrimp.
Oh, I actually love the shrimp tiara.
Yeah.
That's, I mean, there's a little extra, but I love it.
It's gorgeous.
It's a giant shrimp that is sort of
standing on top of or wrapped around Mr.
Charlie, the very old oil drilling platform that they have.
But the shrimp's also wearing a little helmet.
What a place in the world to be.
Is this the shrimp works on the oil rig?
I think the shrimp has a shrimp works on the oil rig?
I think the shrimp has a job.
That's an employed shrimp.
It works on the rig.
Yeah.
That shrimp's an oilman.
This is, they just seem to have- Something else.
I love how every little festival it's like, oh, that's last year's corn princess.
She's going to hand over the corn crown to this year's.
But then, you know, every year another beautiful 18 year old comes in and then
people start doing like side long glances at like the older corn queens.
I mean, like, do you remember when she was like the prettiest girl in town?
She's 20.
She's 20.
She's 20 now.
Well, this really feels like a joke.
This is what would come out of the pressure cooker of a fallout vault in Louisiana.
If they took their signifiers and their symbols in with them and like what they know of culture and sort of just bred that for several
decades in a bunker, completely unable to receive new information or context or what have you.
This is what you would interrupt when the doors open.
100%. You'd be like, all right, we have to rebuild an entire civilization from shrimp, petroleum, and the KKK.
Well, it's just, it's kind of interesting about this to me is that like Louisiana as a
state is not an overwhelmingly white state.
Population is like-
Oh yeah.
And yet in all of these photos that I'm looking at, potentially by chance.
Hmm. Yes, by chance probably.
Per chance.
Yes.
I think she just happened to be the most beautiful 18 year old in Louisiana at the time.
We looked at every woman in Morgan City and for some reason every year it is a white girl,
woman who turned 18 like a week beforehand.
Sorry, just woman.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
What's Morgan City's deal?
And then the most enterprising gentleman?
Well, that just happened to be this ancient fallen apart old white rich dude.
Man, one of the years the ancient industrialist, like his father and his grandfather had been
the shrimp and petroleum king before as well
Like this is so sinister. It makes me feel unwell. Yeah, I don't like this. There's something going on in Morgan City. Yeah
The shrimp once you start pulling out that thread you got to throw it in the bin because that's actually its intestines
Yes. Poop.
You're eating the poop.
This is just waiting to be blown right open.
We're the comedy current events podcast to do it.
Hey, if you were an 18 year old girl and you got picked, an 18 year old woman, and you
got picked to be the shrimp
and petroleum queen you'd feel ever so lucky we explore other lucky people in mr lucky duck
this comes to us from the associated press A crash saved a teenager whose car suddenly sped up to 120 miles per hour.
Oh, that's good news.
Lucky that crash was there to save his life.
That's like 190 kilometres an hour.
That is so fast.
Yeah, that is so fast.
My car wouldn't go that fast.
No.
Personally, I don't know if yours would either, Thea.
No, they shouldn't be made to.
No, there's no reason. There's no reason for it. If your car goes over 110 kilometers per hour, it should
self-deploy spike strips, fly you into the Logan River. That's right, unless it's me doing it and
I'm having fun. Yeah. Sam Dutcher had just finished running errands when the 18 year old, which is him,
the 18 year old's Honda Pilot suddenly began to accelerate even though his foot wasn't
on the gas pedal.
Oh.
Yeah.
I got one of those.
It's a twist.
Honda Pilot.
The brake wouldn't work, he couldn't shift into neutral and before long the runaway SUV
was speeding into the Western Minnesota countryside with no way to stop. You are 18 years old.
Why are you driving a car that is half the size of my house?
I think actually you're not taking your children to soccer.
That's the biggest Honda I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah.
I was, when you said Honda, I was picturing a much smaller car.
Yeah.
I was thinking like sports car going up to that fast.
Cause that's a surely a reasonable.
Yeah.
You don't SUVs, they don't go 120 miles per hour.
Well, why would they?
They, why would they?
Quite, I had the brake to the floor, Dutchess said Thursday, but the SUV
kept going faster and faster, eventually reaching 120 miles per hour in brackets here, 193 kilometers per minute.
It's okay, I can do that.
Just a bit wrong here.
Well, they did it wrong.
Are you sure it was the brake?
Yeah.
I feel like this could be like sort of an easy mix up.
Yeah.
That's what happens to a lot of people when they crash into businesses and stuff.
They've just gone the wrong pedal.
You wouldn't think you'd be able to do it, but often they're seniors.
Yeah. Like if you crash full speed with your
Honda Odyssey with the bull bar up front into, let's say,
the ATM at the front of a bottle store.
Yes. You probably just.
Confusion. Easy mix up.
Confusing. It happens to all of us.
One pedal makes the car go faster.
Oh, is there money in those things?
I didn't want whoops up.
I had an easy whoops up out the front.
And if no one saw, what you got is a lot of money.
A last ditch plan averted disaster that September evening.
A trooper sped in front of the Honda and Dutcher was told to crash into the rear of his squad
car, allowing it to ease safely to a stop moments before reaching a dangerous intersection.
Yeah.
Now I read this and I was-
That excuse never works for me.
I was so confused by this, but then I remembered that-
Is he driving at a similar speed?
Must be, right?
Modern cars have smarts in them, where if you're about to run into something, they
stop you from doing that.
Yeah.
The adaptive cruise control and like emergency braking.
Collision detection.
My car doesn't have that.
It's just me and the open road.
No computer, you know?
Quote, that was really all I could think of that was going to get
him stopped in time, Minnesota trooper Zach Groover said. We just kind of ran out of time
and distance. I really didn't know any other way.
So how did this occur? Is he called the cops?
You will find out, but essentially, yes. Dutcher, who graduated high school in May and is studying
auto mechanics, was driving
to the family home near West Fargo, North Dakota.
Better edit that accent.
Yeah, I could definitely do that Fargo accent.
Everyone's going, oh, geez.
Around 7.30 PM on September 17th, when he realized something was wrong.
Quote, I went to take my foot off the accelerator,
Dutcher recalled.
It wouldn't slow down.
As the SUV gained speed, Dutcher had two options,
stay on a two lane road and drive into Minnesota
or hop onto the interstate.
Figuring traffic would be lighter,
he chose the road less traveled.
Now I'm, personally my thinking here, get on the interstate.
Yeah, everybody's gone fast. Right?
Yeah, everyone's gone fast as fuck. Everyone's already doing like 130, 140
Ks an hour. And also the interstate kind of doesn't stop. Like there are very few
places where there are like traffic lights on the interstate, you know? Like
especially in Minnesota, at the border.
They're probably overtaking you on there.
I've driven out there before. I've been on that interstate. It's empty.
Not a lot going on out there.
Dutcher tried using voice command on his phone to call 911, but it didn't work.
Cool.
Awesome. That's great.
Awesome. Everything functioning correctly.
Yeah. Cars failing. Voice. Everything functioning correctly. Yeah. I love...
Cars failing.
Voice control doesn't work.
Being alive.
So he called his mom.
Catherine Dutcher was in the drive-through line at Hardee's.
I love America so much.
In her 911 call, she mentioned that the Honda had just been in the shop because the accelerator
was apparently getting stuck.
Uh huh.
Yeah, guy in the mechanics like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, we fixed that.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it's still not working?
Oh geez.
Authorities suspect that the SUV's computer malfunctioned.
Yeah, it sounds like maybe the computer malfunctioned.
Yeah, probably the computer, like the motherboard or something. Yeah, probably something to do with the... Probably the computer malfunctioned. Yeah. It sounds like maybe the computer malfunction. Yeah.
Probably the computer, like the motherboard or something.
Yeah.
Probably something to do with your...
Probably the class of motherboards.
Probably one of the chips.
And that.
Uh, the family should take the vehicle into a dealership for an inspection.
A Honda spokeswoman told the Associated Press.
Yeah, I guess they should.
Yeah.
Probably.
Probably.
Oh gee, you think?
Yeah.
Might have head on down to the Honda.
Down to Minnesota.
Down to Minnesota, Honda.
I'm just Irish, what?
Yeah.
I'm going back on looks and the confidence.
I feel like the two syllables that came out of your mouth first, perfect.
Yeah.
Okay.
The company should not, sorry, no, the company could not comment further until an inspection was done.
Yeah.
Yeah, we can see that.
Who are they getting to hop in that thing?
To take it there? I was wondering that as well.
Who's driving it to the dealership?
Who's driving it to the dealership? Car stopped twice in as many days for going 200km an hour.
As the Honda sped into Minnesota, Clay County deputy Zach Johnson reached Dutcher by phone.
So he's called his mom, who's called 911, and then the police have called him.
He's just trying to get his phone to pick up.
Hang on.
So he could call his mom.
But not 911.
But not 911, because he doesn't want to take his hands off the wheel.
He didn't want to take his hands off the wheel because he's going 200 kilometers an hour.
Probably a good call. That's really fast. He got the Tom Walker GTA mod installed.
On just his car. On just his car.
Just got to lightly touch the... Oh, dub guard.
Dash camera video shows Johnson talking Dutcher through possible solutions. Nothing worked.
Well, I bet the car probably doesn't let you turn on the handbrake if you're in motion.
Because there's smarts in the handbrake.
Probably all sorts of smarts in there trying to keep him safe. But what did they do?
They put him in danger.
They turned on him.
You can't trust anyone but yourself.
Rip the computer out of your fucking car.
You don't need a computer, analog style.
Yeah.
Except maybe the ECU or whatever.
Keep that.
Yeah, the direct, the direct injection stuff.
You'd probably keep that.
But the, all the other stuff, you don't need an infotainment system.
No.
You got Bluetooth?
Just Bluetooth from your Spotify.
Yes.
Plug in your MP3 player.
Like our ancestors did.
Yes. God. I don't need the internet in my car.
For my car.
You don't need it. Get Bluetooth out of there, personally.
Yes. And nothing that travels over the waves.
I feel it actually, it excites your particles in a way that makes them sick.
My molecules and stuff.
Yeah. Just wear headphones instead.
Yeah.
You ever see that?
Someone driving around with over-ear headphones on?
No, that's fucked up.
That's pretty weird.
Yeah.
I've done that on occasion.
Why?
What?
No, don't do that.
That's unbelievably unsafe.
So I can hear my music better.
What are you talking about?
What do you say on occasion?
You shouldn't do that.
Are you talking about like 10 years ago?
12 years ago?
You don't mean within like recent memory.
Yeah, I mean, I think you need a hear that road or something.
Beautiful Sony's.
I think I had one ear cap off.
I can't remember why I was doing that.
That's psycho behavior.
Meanwhile, all Catherine
Dutcher could do was worry
when she called 911 for an update, she broke.
Quote, they said they've got several officers
going to him as well as medical, she recalled.
At that point, I kind of lost it
because I just imagined him
being either seriously injured or dead.
I didn't know how they were going to stop a car
that was going that speed.
Yeah, I mean, that's reasonable.
And plus, you've got the cops doing it and they're not, you know, problem solvers at
the best.
This one seemed to have done an all right job.
Like absolutely.
Yeah.
Imagine any other cop.
Yeah.
He should be in another line of work.
Might have put down like speed strips or shot the tires out or done a pit maneuver on him
or whatever.
Yeah.
Shot him.
Yeah.
Every now and then, I don't know if you guys remember this, this happened maybe like a
year or two ago, but a cop was following this woman driving like a, this is in the US, I
can't remember what state, Colorado maybe?
Anyway, woman's driving along, cop reckons she's speeding and indicates for her to pull
over, but it's on like an interstate that doesn't have a shoulder on it.
So there's nowhere to pull over, but it's on like an inner state that doesn't have a shoulder on it. So there's nowhere to pull over. So she slows right down and chucks her hazards on to look for a spot
to pull over. And then the cops like, oh, she's trying to escape and then flips the car, like does
a PIT maneuver, hits the back and it fully flips the car. And that woman is like seven months
pregnant. So he's like, jeopardize her health, health of a baby. And then it turns out like the cops came out and
were like, well, you know, she should have just pulled over. And then everyone's pointing to the
fact that that state's guidelines are if there's nowhere safe to pull off, you put your hazards on
and travel slowly to a spot where you can or whatever. But this happened maybe like two years
ago.
Every couple of months, I Google this thing to see if there's been any
consequences for that cop yet. And as far as I can tell, none.
Oh, why would you?
Why would there be?
Yeah.
So fucked up.
Uh, Groover heard what was going on through his radio.
He's dodged charger eventually caught up with the Honda as it was approaching the
town of Hiddedale, Minnesota, about 30 miles from where the problem began.
Only about 200 people live in Hiddedale, but the highway runs through an area with a couple of stop signs, a railroad crossing and an intersection with another highway.
Oh Jesus.
Yeah.
Cars live in there.
Trouble brewing.
That's real bad. But maybe if you're going 200 kilometers an hour, you just zip between the cars.
Yeah, it's actually the safest speed that you can do.
You walk in between raindrops.
Groover raced ahead to keep traffic at bay.
His dash cam video showed the Honda zipping past quickly through the town.
Oh my goodness.
Dutchess said the SUV was going about 120 miles an hour.
Soon another worry.
Johnson warned Gruver that the highway ended at a T intersection about four miles away,
which is a two minute drive at racing speed.
He should have gone on the fucking interstate.
Like he's 18, you know, he's making spur of the moment decisions, but the,
the small town back road, that was not the smart play.
Yeah.
Interstate.
Absolutely not.
Worst that happens, it eventually ends in an ocean and you can just like,
that's going to stop you.
Well, you could just see how long you can go before you run out of fuel.
I mean, you go on, which way was he going?
So he was going from South Dakota into Minnesota.
What's after that? You're going into Wisconsin? Oh, that'd be lovely.
Yeah. Michigan? Get some cheese over there. Go to Cheese Castle? Stop at the Mars Cheese
Castle if you can just jump on out. That's it. I'm calling it. Choose the grassiest shoulder
you see. Get out. Get some beer and cheese soup. I need some curds.
Jumps out of the car that's going 200 kilometres an hour, goes straight into a
road, walks in, orders himself some cheese curds.
Someone looks at him and says, I'll have what he's having.
Yeah.
I think that's kind of how it would go down.
And then the car crashes through the wall of a primary school.
But that's no longer your fault.
Like you didn't do that.
You're not in, you're not driving that car.
You're not in it. Yeah, you're not.
The 2022 Honda's crash mitigation system kicked in.
This is an 18 year old driving a 2022 SUV.
Yeah. Where the fuck is the money year old driving a 2022 SUV. Yeah.
Where the fuck is the money from?
America's messed up.
I'm assuming it's his parents car, right?
His parents, yeah.
Probably.
That car was two times.
Your first car should be older than you.
That is my firm belief.
Yeah.
I actually think it's a...
It should not have a three and a half litre V6 in it.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
The 2022 Honda's crash mitigation system kicked in at the point of impact, helping ease the
collision, Groover said.
The Honda was going at about 80kms when it struck the trooper's vehicle.
So that's good.
They managed to shave off about 120kms.
From there, Groover was able to gradually slow to a stop.
How did they?
Okay.
Like, wouldn't it still be trying to accelerate it?
Uh, yeah.
Well, I think they're saying that the, maybe there's a safeguard in there.
That if you're in an accident, the cruise control or whatever that's
that's taken over will stop.
The robot will relinquish its control over your car.
Stop. The robot will relinquish its control over your car.
Groover, a married 30 year old expecting his first baby, was impressed by the young driver
who was able to navigate a runaway vehicle at unimaginable speeds.
You should give him a job.
Make him a cop.
Make him a racist cop.
You should give him a job as a race car driver.
I was thinking. Yeah. He should be the pace car driver at the next big South Dakota NASCAR event at the South
Dakota Speedway.
Sam did great.
Said Groover, who has been a trooper for over three years.
I don't think there's a whole lot of people who could deal with that pressure.
It's genuinely amazing.
That kid?
It's actually really impressive. That's crazy.
Yeah.
Sam Dutcher, you are the Buntavista cool guy of the week.
You are the cool teen of the week.
Every week we appreciate one teen.
Buntavista's cool teen of the week.
Hang loose, brother.
I bet this guy's probably dealing with a little bit of emotional trauma after that.
We deal with psychological issues in a segment that we call Paging Dr. Lucy. trouble. Just pick up your telephone and dial it on the double. You call 1-800-317-515. Now you're
paging Dr. Loosey. This comes to us from, ah, slash swingers, the swinging subreddit.
Competitive swing game ideas?
Recently became aware of the rock paper sickors trend.
I think they've just disastrously misspelled scissors in a way I can't even understand.
They've transposed the middle two S's for the C that should have been after the first
S.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
Rock, paper, scissors, Trent.
Where the winner gets to play with a third while the other person has to complete some
task, brackets running a lap or waiting a minute, etc.
Basically mild forms of reward and punishment.
That is the least erotic thing I've ever heard in my life.
So you play rock, paper, scissors.
The winner gets to fuck your wife and you do like some pushups or something.
Yeah.
You have to go outside and jump rope for five minutes.
Christ.
While some other guys shooting rocks in your wife.
I went five times around the house.
Yeah.
Can I have a turn?
Can I?
Can I now fuck my wife please?
And they're like, don't go around again.
I didn't see the last one, buddy.
I didn't see the last one.
I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while I was in the other room by myself naked, sort
of trying to idly maintain my boner.
Can you like, let's be honest here, okay?
Let's cut the shit.
Yeah.
You're in a group sex situation.
You're having a threesome.
Awesome.
Congratulations.
That fucking rules.
Having sex with two people at once?
That's dope. Congratulations. That fucking rules. Having sex with two people at once? That's dope.
And you're like, OK, guys, we're going to rock, paper, scissors again.
Oh, we all did scissors.
We're Americans love to play drinking games.
Yeah, just drink.
The game is drinking.
You just drink the alcohol.
You're an adult person.
You can just drink the alcohol.
Stop doing your scissors, paper, rock.
You met up for sex, for group sex.
Just put that penis in your mouth.
Stop fucking around.
Hey, I know we're all, we're all rearing to go, but we don't want to go too quick, too hard.
Hey, let's do something silly for a little bit.
Hey, hey, I know, hear me out.
Sex silly.
Duck, duck, goose.
Oh, this is...
It's just something so horrible about, you've gone through like the foreplay.
You know, you sat down for a glass of wine first.
Someone's put on like a nice record, the candles, and then you've
like, you've gotten over the hesitancy.
You've all started moving in towards each other.
You've taken off your clothes.
You've all started making out.
Oh, it's so sexy in there.
And someone's like, up time for a little game.
Time for a little game.
They already made a swing or sex game.
It's Twister.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's what it's for.
You pretend that you're really drunk after having had like one
largest glass of Shiraz and you go, oh, this is crazy, but what if we played strip twister and then bam, the threesome is happening.
You don't have to play the game anymore. The game was just a means to an end.
You throw the little spinner thing far away from you because you don't need to touch that
shit because you're having group sex. Congratulations. Plus it's pointy.
Yes. And it'll get you.
Is it risky? Ah! I got caught.
Jess, come on!
Hey, let's get the Ouija board out.
See what happens.
Now we're talking. Let's get in a fourth.
Let's play sex guess who?
Oh, another wrong guess.
I get to fuck your wife. Why don't you go in the other room and watch a couple of episodes of Adventure Time?
Let's say three, because they're only ten minutes long.
What if you go play a few rounds of Fortnite and that's your sex game?
Yeah.
Ooh, we're withholding from you.
And you're playing Fortnite.
You love Fortnite.
You love Fortnite.
And I love fucking your wife. Everybody wins. I've found many icebreaker games for swingers.
He gives one example. Sexy Jenga.
What Sexy Jenga?
What are you talking about? If you make the tower fall over, you get to have one sex.
What the fuck?
I hate that Googling. If you make the tower fall over you get to have one sex
It's an icebreaker exercise so surely it's like pre sex
You have to take like an item oh
They have something written on them or something Everything's got like it's you can buy it on Amazon and it's like the Jenga tiles say like, bring out a
toy of your choice.
Blow me.
Okay.
I'm looking at the, another Amazon one here.
That's so good.
Let's take a bubble bath.
Okay.
Like in the middle of the game.
These are really big.
Do you know how long it takes to run a bath?
Yeah.
Tease your partner's nipple.
Honey, can you come over here for a second?
Those two are very different.
But this one is great.
Give five minutes of sex.
What do you mean?
Let me just give you five minutes of sex real quick.
Just a quick five, tight five.
Can we do a tight five?
Hey Google, set an alarm for five minutes.
I'm just going to give you a tight five.
Oh, this sucks.
This fucking sucks.
What are you people doing?
Oh, ho ho.
Stop after five minutes?
Oh yes.
Okay.
So like the third result for me was actually a link to Arsewingers of someone who made
simplified sexy Jenga.
So this is, they have written their own on an existing sort of a blank, on a Jenga blank.
Lick slash kiss neck right, lick slash kiss neck left.
And then those two repeated. Lick slash nibble ear left, lick slash nibble ear right.
Remove an article of clothing, fake an orgasm, just a peck.
That's in quotation marks?
Yeah.
Do you think they mean on the genitals?
Maybe.
Or literally just like a really chaste kiss.
Maybe it's just a chaste kiss.
Hey, come over here, Brian. I know we didn't say that this was like a bisexual one, but I'm willing if you are.
I'm going to peck you.
I'm going to peck you, Brian.
You better purse those lips because you're about to get pecked.
The shortest, lightest kiss in history.
Describe a sexual fantasy.
Make out 15 seconds.
Demonstrate fave sex position.
Dry hump.
And someone could just cut Ben's voice into like pieces for this last bit and
maybe just put this on a randomizer for your own sex cut.
I'm going to peck you, Brian. I'm going gonna peck you Brian! I'm gonna peck you Brian!
Dry hub! Dry hub!
You've got to dry hub you Brian!
Close two eyes and ID an ass by fondle.
Oh so this is like a group right?
This is for groups. This is why they had sex with everyone in the group.
Yeah and they sang left or right as in the person sitting to your left or the person
sitting to your right.
Oh, okay. I thought it was just indicated the neck or the nape you were kissing.
Left neck, right neck. Quote wandering hands. 15 seconds.
Oh, okay. Ooh. Straddle.
Fondle self. Eye contact.
Spank.
No.
One redeeming feature of this post is that it's on, they've done it on a stable table.
The thing we were talking about the other day.
Are you serious?
Yeah, it's on one of those beautiful, it's actually on a timber paneled
stable table, which is quite nice. Wow. Okay. Wonderful. Good Lord. Sorry, I found many icebreaker
games for swingers, sexy Jenga, but not many. Any recommendations or games you've developed for this?
Thanks. I've got a couple of replies here. This one is just genuinely someone doing a funny reply.
Commander format Magic the Gathering.
Yep.
Great. Another one here. We have made ourselves the Erota game Swinger edition.
It's German.
Oh, sorry.
Let me do this in the right accent.
We have made ourselves the Erota game Swinger edition.
It's German only as far as I know, but it has a competitive character.
You have to reach the top on the game board without reaching an orgasm.
On the way to the top, you have some action cards to draw.
In the beginning, it's all about getting nude, then petting and at the end, full on sex and
full swapping.
You imagine what the commands are like on a German sex spieler.
Oh, do we want to use the sex and spiel that we have?
It is good sex spieler.
15 minute max.
Is this part says Iina Penetration?
If your partner wants sex. Oh, all right. You got it.
Touch ass.
And one more reply here.
The only games we've ever played are usually related to orgasms.
What do you mean?
We've been playing our orgasm games in our sensual sexatorium that we have.
Don't act like you're too cool for this comment thread.
Everyone in the comments, other than the people I've chosen, is acting too cool for it.
They're all calling this guy like a nerd where they're like, no, we generally just like suck each other off.
Oh, okay.
What are you talking about?
All right.
Yeah.
So there is still like normal people in the swinging community.
I thought you were joking about eroticist sex spiel by the way.
No, that's real.
That's what the website says.
Yeah.
I remember being like, as a kid, seeing one of the James Bond movies where the
henchmen are German and like one of the guys is reading a Porto mag that would had sex spieler.
Big letters across the front.
Stuck with me forever.
Yeah.
This, um, I don't know, maybe you've been married for a long time and you
need these prompts or whatever, but come on, just don't be cringe.
You just be cool about it.
Just be sexy.
That's, that's what I'm saying this week. Just be sexy.
Hey, if you're having sex, be sexy with it. Don't be like a nerd about it.
Stop trying to ruin sex for the rest of us by making it sound deeply unappealing.
You finally convinced your neighbors to have sex with you and you're like
interrupting them to be like, Oh, we have to play snakes and ladders.
to have sex with you and you're like interrupting them to be like, oh, we have to play snakes and ladders. Yeah. Shaking my head at these people. Yeah, you are. No, that's everything we do.
Are as normal. Yeah. We are sexy in our own ways that we don't talk about openly on the show.
Don't speculate about it. It's weird. It's weird. It's a weird thing to do. It's a really, really weird thing to do.
Hey, that was definitely an episode of the podcast.
Buntavista, thank you so much for joining us.
If you haven't signed up to the Patreon, I recommend it because those bonus episodes,
I often have more time to put the notes together for the bonus episodes just because of the
days we record on.
So sometimes they're the better episode.
I don't do that on purpose.
I have a complicated and annoying schedule.
It just works out that way sometimes.
And we have fun there.
We can be a little more ourselves because I'm so worried about saying something on here
that will upset someone, hurt someone's feelings.
I don't want to make anyone feel bad. You know, don't offend anyone.
We're unmasking on there.
You know?
Yes.
Yeah.
You know what?
This feels a little bit like work.
The bonus episodes feel like play.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
They just come out of us unbidden.
Yeah.
Ooh, the jokes come out.
Uh, we will catch you maybe on the bonus episode and hopefully on the next free episode unless
you decided that this one was it for you.
And if so, it was lovely having you.
It was nice having you.
I don't blame you.
Thanks for sticking it out.
Not everything is for everyone.
Stay safe.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.
Good morning.
Bye. Talk to you soon. Bye!
