Music Let's get the bush back. Let's bring back the bush. Oh, we're at it. Bring back the bush. Bring back the bush, you know? Hello. Welcome to Pointa Vista. It's episode 381. And it's Super Bowl Monday. That's right. If you're one of our beloved international listeners, you've woken up in Australia.

And we do things a little differently over here. You've taken the day off work to go to a Super Bowl booking for six of the worst guys you've ever met. It's 9am. You're at a pub called Some Variation of the Imperial, The Telegraph, The Sporting Lion or The Trady's Arms. You're seated in the beer garden, which sounds nice.

It's the middle of summer. It's a big TV. One of the worst guys you've ever met is asking you if it's time for a cheeky Beverington. You go to the bar, you order yourself a pint of Budweiser, which you pay $17 Australian dollars for. But don't worry, there's also a game day special where you can get a $10 can of PBR. You're in the American spirit, so you order a plate of the shittiest buffalo wings you'll ever eat, accompanied by some dogshit blue cheese sauce and wilted celery.

A dish this pub has never served and it's truly amazing how much we can't get this right. TV? The TV is either too loud or not loud enough. The game is being streamed from some outlet where instead of the Super Bowl ads, you're getting a screen that just says our coverage will resume shortly. With you. It's a real piece of shit. It's a guy you know from work who loves wearing a basketball jersey and talking to you about crypto. It's a real piece of shit. It's a guy you know from work who loves wearing a basketball jersey and talking to you about crypto. It's Andrew. Hey Andrew, day for it.

By the dip. Yeah. You ever thought about that? It only goes down before it goes up again. Yeah, they've got queso here. You guys heard of queso? It's kind of like a Mexican-American kind of dish. I love it. Is it meant to be that color? Yeah, I think so. Does that look authentico-mexicano to you? Yeah, I think so. Does that look Authentico Mexicano to you?

Yeah, I've been to LA. I think that's authentic. Okay. I think it's actually like melted Kraft singles. Yeah, it's 100% melted Kraft singles because you can't get canned queso here, so it's just melted Kraft singles. It's pretty good though. It's $15 by the way. It's pretty good though. It's $15 by the way. Also with you, and man this guy sucks shit. He peer pressured you into joining his sports bet multi group called Lads with a Z, which is currently $1,300 in the red.

He's wearing a Patriots jersey that he bought at Culture Kings, a backwards Yankees cap that he bought at Culture Kings, a bright white pair of Air Force 1s. You're calling that the cunt's tuxedo. It's Ben. Hey Ben, they'll let anyone in here today. G'day legend, do you want to delete some nosebeers? I just need you to pay ID me $300 first. Oh yeah, yeah, I've gotcha.

And it is 9.30 AM. Yeah. Which means also that we can't get beers for another half hour because their license doesn't start until 10am. So for the first part of the game, we can't actually get beer. We just have to sit around. Yeah, we're just going to sit around. This fucking sucks, man.

Why did we have like a cultural moment in the last couple of years where a bunch of Australians pretended they were interested in this and wanted to do it? Hey, I wish football had more waiting around. Yeah. I want to start day drinking at like 9am, crash out really hard by midday and then just sort of lose the rest of the day. I actually love Super Bowl day. So this is coming from like a very real place for me.

Like a place of love. Sometimes the best satire comes from a place of love. Yeah. Are you going to go watch it somewhere? What's your plan? I am. It's a public holiday in Tasmania. What for?

On Monday, some regatta day or something. Some Tasmanian bullshit. Yeah, that checks out. Yeah. And I'm on the Eagles bandwagon. So I'm excited. Super Bowl day. Regatta day or something. Some Tasmanian bullshit. Oh, regatta day. Yeah, that checks out. Yeah. And I'm on the Eagles bandwagon, so I'm excited. Fucking believable. Yeah, look, I watch hockey.

It's fine. I like Philadelphia. You already like weird shit. Also with you. Go birds. Go birds. Also with you is just a pretty normal guy. He doesn't really follow this American sports stuff.

He just wanted a nice day out with the boys. He owns a medium-sized car. He drives at the speed limit, or below. His girlfriend is part of a pyramid scheme. He's going to have two, maybe three beers today and then get on with the day, maybe go to Bunnings later on. You'd never know he has a crippling gambling addiction. He's currently betting his mortgage against a Kansas City Mindless 27 line.

It's Theo. Hey Theo. Hey guys. Hey. Beers already. Did you bring these from home? Yeah. Brought some.

Brought Coors, Miller, Budweiser. I want to wait a little bit. Well, I kind of just have my beers like a la natural from the bar. I think you can get, I think you can get coffee here. You know, pubs have coffee. Yeah, that's probably going to help me stay. So wait a minute. I've you can get, I think you can get coffee here. You know, pubs have coffee. Yeah, that's probably going to help me stay. So wait, I got a big, big day ahead of me. Um, cause I got to go home and watch the kids.

Um, well, my wife is trading. She's doing her deals. Essential oils deals. She's doing a, um, it's Tupperware party, but they're not allowed to use the name. They're legally barred from using the word Tupperware. I actually love a Tupperware party. I know. We should bring that back.

I'm sure I've had a, I've told this story on pod where like one of my housemates, um, he invited me out for beers and then he like, he's like, Oh yeah, come in here. Just sit down. We just got to sit through this presentation for a pyramid scheme first. It's like, very cool. Pretty cool. Hey, don't want you to miss out. Lioness, check out Lioness.

Okay. What is it? Why? They got pyramid schemes for men? For dudes. They got pyramid schemes for men now. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. They come with like increased physical intimidation. Yeah. I guess the, the, like the real weapon of the, the Tupperware party was the women can use sort of like social ostracised and stuff. Yeah. Whereas with men, it's probably just, they'd be like, Hey, buy this or I'll bash ya. Yeah. Ah, fuck.

All right. I guess we've got to buy it. Don't want to be like a peace lure. Yep. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. One of many slurs.

F P, ah, you name them. Hey, Super Bowl Sunday in America. That's probably pretty fucking crazy, right? Uh, but that country is already pretty crazy. And we examine one specific facet of how crazy it gets in a segment that we call GTA World. This comes to us from WKRG in Alabama, the Korg. The Korg. Probably played that out, that little sawtooth line on the Korg.

Yeah, might have been actually. Wouldn't that be a nice little bit of synchronicity? Yeah, that'd be cool. The universe speaks to you in startling ways. Man tried to use skid steer as a weapon on I-10 Thursday morning. What's a skid steer? So that's I-10 Thursday morning. Huh? What's a skid steer? So that's a bobcat.

Call that a bobcat over here. They probably don't call them bobcats in America because they get confused. Cause they have actual bobcats. Yeah, that makes sense. Watch out. Watch out for that bobcat. I heard a bobcat this weekend, do some stuff in the backyard. What? Do you have to pay him?

What are you paying him in? Fish? What's that cost? Five minnow? Is that the diet of a bobcat? Five minnows? Five minnows, yeah. Hey, we were talking before the show about Crash for Ladies.

They got Crash for ladies. You were so desperate to get this on tape. There's no set up. You don't have the context. You don't have the context for the joke. He just wanted to say the words crash for ladies. Anyway, skid steer is probably a pretty unwieldy weapon. Yeah, that's true.

Are you swinging that thing at someone? I think he's driving it. It's coming right at me. Well, it might end up in a crash. Mobile police said a suspect tried to use a Kubota skid steer as a guided weapon during a low-speed chase that ended in gunfire. What's a little bit of sizzle throughout that sentence, little bits of phrasing that is very delightful. Mobile police responded to a theft call Thursday morning of a man who had allegedly stolen a Kubota skid steer. When officers arrived, deputy chief Melvin Jones said the suspect tried to collide with

officers. So what did they do? Walk out of the way? Hell yes. Yeah, probably just like do a little, huh. Oh, excuse me. Huh. It's a what did they do walk out of the way? Yes. Yeah, probably just like do a little Interesting language in this isn't there a guided weapon Try to collide with

Use my guided weapon to car is a guided weapon car is a guided weapon It's it's not like a homing missile, you know, it's more that you're steering the car at someone. It's not like you put a brick on the accelerator and then hopped out. Yeah. Quote, the individual in the vehicle attempted to ram a police vehicle, Joan said, car that's got to feel so good. You just know that once you get like, you get the blade under the side of the car, you lift that bad boy up, you keep going forwards, you flipped a cop car.

One of the best feelings there is. Yeah. From there, a low speed chase began in the area of I-10 and Rangelene Road. I've got to start just searching Google news for low speed chase. Yeah, that's great. In the alerts. That seems like a, Absolutely.

Something's good. How come, how come anytime there's a police chase with like a tragic circumstances, you know, someone addicted to drugs steals a car and then within like 20 seconds they've pit maneuvered into an orphanage. And yet this fucking thing, yeah. Like top speed of 20 Ks an hour. You know what? Let's see where this goes slowly. We lost him when he made it to the Indiana border. Eight hours later, had to turn around once we got to the border.

We call it across the state. So those boys can have this one for a while. All right. For anyone that was about to write it and say that Alabama does not even come close to bordering Indiana, it was a really long chase. Yeah. And also your country is a joke to us. Yeah, we don't care.

Maybe you're missing a little context from the thing Ben imagined. That's right. Step into my imaginatorium when I'm speaking. Real quick, name the two states and one territory that Queensland borders. You can't. Yeah. You don't, you don't care. Yeah.

That was the curiosity about, about. Jeopardy the other day, they had a question about an island like Northwest of Queensland and someone said Tasmania and then, cause it was wrong. Someone said Australia. So I don't give a shit where Indiana is, you know? So I don't give a shit where Indiana is, you know? Yeah. What the fuck? It's at the Tournament of Champions.

Fucked up. Tournament of Champions? Tournament of Champions. Jesus, they're not sending their best. No. The suspect traveled westbound on I-10 before investigators said he turned the skids to hear it to oncoming traffic traveling east in the westbound lanes. Again, gotta feel fucking great. Yeah. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy.

He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy.

He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy.

He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's so easy. He's's some mesh on those bad boys. Sort of like a classic glass cannon. Yes. Yeah. Easily taken out, unfortunately. He's so easily taken out, like by anything. You can do so much before they do.

The individual that attempted to ram vehicles, Joan said. Sounds like somebody had a case of the Mondos. Attempted to? Yeah. Well, again. All the ladies just driving and the police put themselves in the way of the skid steer, you know? Was this everybody walking towards each other, swinging their limbs and yelling,

if you get hit, it's your fault kind of scenario. It kind of feels like he went into oncoming traffic with their permission. Yes. Yeah. If he is moving that slowly. The skid steer you allow to drive into traffic, it's essentially the skid steer you have driven into traffic. You, it's so within your power to stop this guy.

Yeah. You just run up to it and like turn the keys in the ignition. It's such a trivial exercise to stop him that inaction is a form of action. Yes. Depending on the machine, Bobcat skid steers can travel as fast as 17 kilometres per hour. Get two police cars and just sort of box him in. He's going 17 kilometres an hour. Yeah.

Max. Um, I don't know if it says anything in any of the articles that you saw Ben, but did they try approaching him with hearts full of love and open arms? You know what? They don't mention a single thing about approaching the situation with honesty, openness, and infinite patience and kindness. I didn't see anything about that. Yeah. The guy's clearly not having like a, he's not having a great day. Put yourself in his head space, put yourself in his shoes.

What makes a guy in a Bobcat try and ram cars on I-10 in the like face of traffic? It's gotta be a bad day. It's gotta be a bad day. Economic pressures. Did you try like looking him in the eyes, putting a hand on his shoulder and saying, oof, you've had a bad day. I've been there brother. Yeah.

Bring it in. Bring it in. I've been there brother. Have you tried? I've been there brother. Four beautiful words. I've been there brother. Did you try that?

I've been there brother. You know? Hell, I've been worried about who he's crashing into with the skid steer. Try asking why he stole the skid steer out of place. Who is he crashing into away from? Yes. What life is he slowly driving away from? See what he's slowly running away from.

Follow the tire tracks from where he skidded out in the skids here until you get back to the origin point and you'll probably find a wife you just had an argument with. Yep. And because he's moving at a maximum of 17 kilometers an hour, you won't have to go far. They'd be very close by. May well still be within line of sight.

Do you see a woman with her hands on her hips going, oh, it's probably her. Anyone with, uh, with curlers in their hair, anybody whacking a rolling pin into the other hand. Yeah. You know, just say, Hey, can we, how can we get you two to talk through this? You clearly love each other. How can we be lovers if we can't be friends? Yes.

Yes. Yes. happy friends. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. A portion of the westbound lanes on I-10 were temporarily shut down as officers forced the suspect onto exit 15B, where the chase came to an end with what one witness described

as multiple shots fired. Oh. Quote, at first it went off like two shots, then it got silent. Then we heard like another six or seven more rounds the witness said Okay, that's definitely multiple. Yeah Quote it caught me by shock because you wouldn't normally hear something like that coming from the interstate That's no you wouldn't yeah Describing the noises of an interstate one

state. One. Beep beep. That's about it really. Three. Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang. The witness said the suspect then lodged the skid steer in a ditch. Much like how his life is sort of in a ditch right now. You know what to get him out of that ditch? Monkey grip down to his hand. He grips your arm, you grip his arm, you pull him up, you say I've been there brother. Four words, four beautiful words. Hey brother, I've been there. Come on, let's get you out of that skid steer. Yeah, let's just go, tell you what, this one, this one was a mulligan.

I've been there brother. I've been there brother. Tell you what, you know what, it's 11 a.m. you and me, we go to a sports bar We get a chicken fried steak. We get a beer Country fried steak. Oh, yeah. No, I like country fried steak better too. Let's do that Yeah, there's more than unites us get a big cup of coffee. We could just talk this thing through Yeah, I got time. Hell. I got time for you brother anytime. I got time. I'm an American cop I'm normally just looking at my phone. It's actually better for society if I spend eight hours talking to you than doing my other jobs It is

Policing? Not a zero sum game surprisingly. Mostly a negative sum game Quote after a while we just heard sirens, then we saw police lights through the trees, the witness said. Beautifully poetic image. Police lights through the trees. The suspect was hospitalized with unknown injuries. As far as we know, we think he was shot. We're not sure yet.

I-10 westbound is back open. 15B exit remains closed. Hope, hope that worked out. All right. I don't think it worked out for him. I think maybe it's going to be okay. Also, you fucking... He's... Your response is to shoot him?

I think he... Right. Maybe had the gun. Is the impression that I got? Maybe the first two were him. Yeah, like he who fired the first two shots. But hey, I've been there brother. Yeah, I've been there brother. Hey, you know, there's another place I've been and it's Subway.

It's time for Subway Watch. Now, in the last bonus episode we did, that was called Wet Hot American Sandwich, we talked a little bit about the subway sandwich. Then we got real. At length. And we've had a little bit of disagreement, a little bit of pushback, which is fine. This is a conversation where some people like, no, it's actually good. Other people said it was worse than we were saying. And I thought maybe in the interest of fairness and balance, because that is kind of what this podcast is about, complete honesty,

complete transparency, I've taken a selection of subway reviews from around the entirety of America. I've just sort of clicked on random subways sorted by last and then just sort of had a look at some of the reviews just to see what people are saying because maybe we're wrong. Maybe we got like the wrong idea. Maybe they're great. You know, maybe it's different. Maybe it's different. It's not different, but maybe it's it might be so identical, but it isn't. It's exactly the Maybe they got a different subway over there. It's not different, but maybe it might be. So identical. But it isn't, it's exactly the same but worse. But it could be, you know. All Turkey, baby.

Could be great. Here we go, this is in no particular order. Just a couple of reviews. First one here. The two idiots working here were wrestling around right away when we walked in. There was food scattered everywhere, bird, bread, vegetables. The guy in the back is playing musical videos with tons of swearing.

And then the one helping us was swearing at him. Guys, we're trying to get our kid a sandwich. Why you got the lights down low two hours before you close? What weird stuff you're doing in here. We left without food. This is, this is honestly hitting so hard. I was going to say, this is like, this is the subway experience. As someone who's done a fuckload of closes for a fast food business.

Like, well you're baked out of your mind. You're wrestling back there. Yeah. You've got a couple of rowdy, stoned 17 year olds. Oh man, these fluorescents are harsh. Get those off. Hey man, you want to hear the new Opeth? Fuck yeah, I want to hear the new opeth?

Yeah, and you know, they're at like the right age as well where they've really just discovered swearing so they're really going hard on it Yeah, hey, we got to throw this old bread out Anyway, might as well peg it at each other as hard as we can. Yeah, yeah fight your cocksucker Another one here. One worker pulled her earpiece out, dug straight into pepperoni and peppers. Younger girl, upon me talking up after standing in line, just walks away to the back. Okay. All right.

Pulled her earpiece out, out straight into the pepperonium peppers Do we mean like eating them herself? I mean like I'm out of the year and then put the hands right in either hand to food contact that the problem was Here, I think that might be it but immediate my first reaction was that she just started sort of eating a handful I think the Australian subway they always they always put the The rubber glove on. They put the plastic glove on. They do the gloves in America as well.

A lot of the reviews I read were about people not doing the gloves or doing stuff and not changing the gloves. There was one where the guy was complaining because he kept saying like all the employees would just put their hands in their pockets with the gloves on. I'm just counting my change and then I'll make you a sandwich. That's yeah, a lot of that. Lady that work here who makes the subs was rubbing her feet next to bread and when I confronted her, she thought it was funny. She was rubbing her feet next to bread.

Rubbing her feet next to bread. Where was the bread at the time? Where was the bread? They stored it in a little pantry thing? Or in the proofing fridge thing they got there next to the oven the warmer or has she already cut it in half It was up on the bench and then she sort of lifted her foot up to waist height started rubbing her feet and laughing Yeah, well her shoes on or off did she have a pedicure? What color were the nails? You know? It's not a little big tails in wish we should use in one of those like you know, it's like a,

like an apple peeler kind of thing, but for your feet. You know, the thing that- Oh, the little pedicure thing? The little pedicure thing that like shaves your feet off? Was she shaving her feet next to the bread? I don't think she was doing the parmesan thing. Was she shaving her rind off at the time? Italian herbs and cheese or wheat?

Which one? Clean and quick location. However, customer service was absolutely awful. Both girls working were extremely rude and disrespectful. Witness the one girl with lower arm tattoos screaming at a customer over and over again, asking if he wanted avocado when he clearly didn't and knew what he wanted. Do you want avocado? Do you want avocado?

Do you want avocado? Do you want avocado? Do you want avocado? Do you want avocado? Like I said on the bonus, it's clear that this is like a nexus for people who are so close to already losing it. Yeah. Yeah. This is like a bad place sort of spiritually and morally.

It's the last. The morale is never good. Oh yeah. No one's in a subway because they want to be there. No one was like, I want to make the world smile with the delicious sandwiches. No one wants to work there. No one wants to be there for lunch. This is, this is a place for people.

No one wants to exist in that space. Yeah. They woke up, they looked at themselves in the mirror and then they punched the mirror and the mirror shattered representing the kind of like shattered fragments of their own psyche. And then they went to work and said, do you want Italian herbs and cheese? Do you want avocado? Do you want avocado?

Do you fucking want avocado? Probably the worst subway ever. They are so rude. I walked in the girl told me to wait as she's eating a sub behind the counter the whole time giving me attitude. Yeah, it's her lunch break, dickhead. When I asked for her name, she said she's not allowed to give me her name.

So good. Classic. Oh, you want to speak to the manager? I'm the manager. Covering her name badge? No, can't give out no personal information. I ain't allowed to give out no information. My name? Jared. Jared Subway. information. I ain't allowed to give out my name. Jared. Jared Subway. Very funny to be eating a sandwich and be like, Hey, if you wanted to be eating a sandwich, you should have got here before me because I'm currently first in line to make an eat a sandwich.

It's my turn right now. Also, it's probably literally her lunch break and there's like, no one covered. Probably. Yeah. Terrible. The lady made the sandwich terrible and was so careless. She was just slapping the ingredients on there. Terrible outcome.

I don't recommend. That's the deal. That's what you signed up for. What are you- To have four cucumber slices slapped on your bread. Just four. The bread or closes? You don't see it once the bread's closed

You walked in it's Latin it means place without happiness Yeah, it's like a it's like a burrito as well right there. We're like they wrap it up in the paper You're just feeling off. Are you are you like are you some sort of fucking sicko who's getting a six inch sub and then you're taking it Unwrapping the whole paper and then unwrapping the other paper that it's inside of Hmm and like you're looking at it as a whole unit. Yeah, are you doing that? That's fucked up a subway sandwich is meant to be considered an inch at a time. I Saw some photos of like the worst made sandwiches I've ever seen this time.

Just like there was one in particular where they got the avocado on there, but all of it was on the outside of the sandwich somehow, none of it on the inside. So they unrolled it and it was just a big green smear. And yeah, so I think avocado is a mistake. No, I'm not getting that avocado at Subway. Lord, no. What are they putting in there So that it doesn't oxidize It's something and they put too much on there. It's nasty Oh, you know that they're getting that like, um, you know how the the meatballs and shit at subway just come in like a big sack

Hey, can I get a how long those how long are those balls being out? Can I get a fresh sack? Give me a fresh sack. Fresh sack? You got some fresh balls back there? Fresh, yeah, just looking for a freshly squeezed... Pop open a sack. Ball sack. A little great multilingual pun in there, cause avocado is from the Nahuatl word that

means testicle. So it's a sack avocado. It's a fun fact. Yeah it's a little sack of avocado. It's a fun fact. Yeah, a little synchronicity. The universe is singing to you. Will you listen to her song? Will you be a part of the choir?

Yes. That ear buds in. These employees do not listen to what I want. They could not make a sandwich to save their life. I will never go back to this place. You will though. Going to Subway, you will. And just being like, uh, lettuce, please.

And they just look you in the eye and start piling on carrot. How does this make you feel? Oh olives. Dead in the eye. That's very sad. Especially like if we're talking about, uh, you know, the, the nexus of the places nobody wants to be. I think for some segment of the populace, they like to go to a fast food place because that person's lower down on the social ladder than them.

You've got to do what I say. If I don't like it, you've got to let me talk to the manager. You've got to take my food back at the drive-through or whatever. They're not ready to go into a subway and be confronted with the two girls telling them to fuck off. Yeah. They were just like, I don't give a shit. You can't hurt me here.

Why don't you tell me what you want on the sandwich so I can pick what I'm actually going to put on the sandwich. Yeah. The more different what I do is from what you want, the happier I am. Yes. Yes. I'm giving you an unexpected outcome. Don't you want to delight in some surprise in your life?

Yes. What do you want exactly what you asked for? Has anybody walked into a subway wanting to be delighted from some surprise in their life? Surprise me! Imagine the fucking horrible sandwich you... Oh my god. Can you imagine? The sandwich artist surprised me.

Cause they've seen everything. Their idea of surprise is like recreating the song. They're putting a bread knife in there. Surprise cunt. Taking ten minutes to read every item on the menu and then saying, what's your favorite thing that they have here? Chewing up glass and then spitting it onto the sandwich with blood. Hubby got food poisoning. Really sick. Passed out on hotel floor. Almost called hotel desk for medical help. Never ever again.

You can't pin that on Subway. Almost passed out from a Subway sandwich. I don't know if you got food poisoning. I think something worse happened. Someone that I saw said that they got food poisoning from uncooked bacon from a Subway, which first saw bacon is already a cooked product. So it's not raw meat. And also the photo was of cooked bacon. They're Americans. So they probably want to like burn to shit or whatever.

Yeah. They're all scared of eggs. They want their bacon fucked up. That's true. Devin was amazing making up for the other jerk who was just rude and belligerent. I felt very bad for Devin. He was working hard with a smile on his face. He needs a raise. Shout out Devin.

Yeah, they don't do that at Subway, by the way. You don't get a raise. Devin doesn't need a raise. Devin needs to be moved to another workplace. Get him to a Jimmy John's. They need to get him somewhere where his values align with the workplace's values. Because as we're establishing, these are the values of Subway. Yes. Uh, putting, putting what you want on the sandwich and then the sandwich being good and smiling, uh,

Yeah. Hey, you know who we're here for? You know what staff I see are always happy? You guys ever been to Bounce? The fucking trampoline place? There is no way the staff at Bounce are happy. It's bizarre. Absolutely.

One of my friends worked there. He loved it. It's bizarre. Absolutely. One of my friends worked there. He loved it. There is chaos at all times. There's like kids like just actively giving themselves brain injuries. And the staff are just, they're just floating through. Yeah. They're just, they're, I don't know what it is, what they, what they're paying those guys.

I think I know what it is. This is just a guess. I don't know how Bounce operates, but I reckon between sessions, they're getting a lot of free bounce time to do whatever it is they're doing. And that's activating their vestibular system. That's getting their prusioceptive, like, whatever's gone. Maybe you want to be doing the closing shift at Bounce. Get everybody out of there.

And then you can have yourself, you can have yourself just now to be doing, you know, full triple backflips. Just doing bounce shit, yeah. Sensory hour at the bounce, you turn the lights down, you put on a little bit of like ambient. Oh, now we're talking. You put on small craft on a milk sea.

Yeah. Turn the lights down. Just sort of like bounce around. Yeah, just do some interpretive bouncing. Oh my god, your spirit would sing if you could interpretive bounce. Yeah, you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't do that.

Put tack on. The last time I was at one of these places, I'm with you, Lucy, the last time I was in one of these places, it was a fucking nightmare. And we haven't been for a while, which is good. I think like our kids maybe have sort of aged out of people wanting to do that for birthday parties. But like this was maybe this was a couple of years ago when, when people were still doing more pretending about COVID stuff.

Cause it was like, ah, you need to come down for like a session. Like you said, Ben, cause we wouldn't want to oversell the place. And then you get down there and there's 6,000 kids in the bounce. They let too many kids in. Yeah. Way too many kids in there. They put too many kids in it. Too many kids in the bounce.

Some kind of pretense. We got in there and there were already so many fucking people in that place and like packed in and also there's this queue of people and kids just streaming in through the front gate the entire time. It's like, what is this pretense that we're limiting numbers? What would it look like if you weren't limiting it? Everything that you're saying, Andrew, to me is a good thing. When I go in there, the ball pit is like 70% flesh.

And I can just throw Noah in there like an over arm. Like soccer throwback in ball. What do you call that? Side throw? What are we talking about? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Oh, when they, when they throw it in from the side, they throw it in the side. Yeah.

And I'm doing that with my beloved child. Yeah. I think it's just a throw. Throw in cheeky throw. Iing? Cheeky throwing? I cannot even begin to tell you, the listener, how little we want to hear about correct football terminology. Oh no, when we say what's the word for that, it's kind of just like a thing we say. Rhetorical. Yeah, and often, this is something that I think a lot of people don't understand is that when you're listening to it, it sounds like this is happening in real time.

Yeah. But if we wanted to find out something, we could have Googled it ourselves between you Googling it and telling us. Yeah. This is a conversation but we are all on the spectrum and you are listening to us. Yeah and you're on the spectrum. You are at this point reacting to a historical wonderance. Yeah. You're talking to a painting. Like reading something in a book.

Reading something in a book and trying to write to the character. It's like calling the cops because they burnt down the library of Alexandrina. It's gone. Yeah. Correct. Library of what? Alexandrina? I was gonna let him.

Alexandrina? Where is that fucking library? Where was that? I think Alexandrinana was the little one that was the smaller version of the library of Alexandria Alexandrine eta If you're wondering why you just drained every fluid from your body probably because you get food poisoning from here Every fluid every fluid all the cum is out of my body. That's how sick I was. My vomit diary of blood and cum. If you start shitting plasma.

Jacked off eight times after eating here. All my tears came out. I got the food poisoning that makes you jack off. My wife tells me to stop coming into this subway, but oh. I ate uncooked bacon and lost all my nut. That's right. The fluid starts coming out of all three ends. All right, let's try and work out.

Did we both go to subway or was it just you? Where have we both been? Where have you just been to make all the you jack off every time? This one reviewer posting reviews as part of an elaborate scheme to justify to his wife why he can't stop jacking off at home. Oh, I just, oh, my tummy. I went past the subway at lunch again. Oh, it's happening.

Look her dead in the eyes and say, I don't want it toasted. She will make an excuse to toast it and do it anyways. It's the same woman. Yeah, you'd probably like a better toast. The same woman that's just like, carrot. I heard carrot. I heard toasted. Yeah.

Is it fresh? It's stuffed by four year olds. You want a double serve of carrot, no cheese, toasted? Gotcha. The thing is, sometimes they'll just do that. They'll say toasted and you'll say no. And it's just the fact that he's not really listening. And that's kind of the deal.

They do, when they ask you toasted, they do have the bread halfway into the toaster. You want it toasted though. And it's still traveling. I don't want mine toasted. Is that controversial? Cause we didn't get to hear about Lucy's subway order cause she wasn't here.

You know what, I eat subway, it's fine. It's completely fine. Yeah, but what do you get when you're in there? What do you get order because she wasn't here. You know, I eat subway. It's fine. It's completely fine It's fine there. What are you getting? Chicken pieces chicken pieces. You get the driest sandwich untoasted? Yeah Untoasted? Untoasted. No the bread's nice. They got nice bread. Are you getting cheese on it? I'm getting cheese You're getting cheese and that cheese is unmelting It's fine. Lucy's got a diagnosis now Yeah, I think every kind of person is beautiful regardless of the fucked up sandwiches they order at.

Even dry food. What salad you getting on there Lucy? Maybe it's a sensory thing for Lucy. Yeah, it's a sensory thing. That's the excuse. You getting any sauce on that? Any salad, no salad? I'm getting salad, I'm getting salad, I'm getting olives.

I'm getting ranch. Ranch, all right. Or honey mustard, you know? Okay. Somebody did write in to argue with me about meatballs on subway sandwiches. It's fucking stupid. I just want to say, like, it's fine.

You don't have to. You don't have to have a meatball sandwich. Yeah, unless you go to this one lady who will give you one every time regardless of what you're asked for. You do need to have a meatball sandwich. We had to change your life. And by that, I mean the super diarrhea that makes you jack off.

I don't know which end to put over the toilet. Yeah. On the floor vomiting. You're like, ah, it's coming. It's coming out. I'm coming. What's wrong? What's wrong, honey? What's up?

You're about to come. I'll get you the bucket. To the bed. And if you feel it coming, roll onto your side and go in the bucket Don't come on my floor. Don't come on my floor It's too late already did Just felt so good. I didn't feel it coming Very rude people and very bad attitude. This is second time they did to me. I will never come back

They mess up my sandwich if you ask them why they're yelling at and very bad attitude. This is second time they did to me. I will never come back. They mess up my sandwich. If you ask them why they're yelling at you, very bad. Hey, why is my sandwich wrong? Get the fuck out of here. I'll fucking kill you. The guy in this location was very rude and unpleasant. If you check your video camera, you'll get the proof. That was around 655 to 705.

His name, all caps here, Dustin Birch. Dustin, you are on blast. Devin, you are good. For the listeners of the audio, that's Birch with a U. Yeah. Birch. Birch. Stop mocking customers, Mr.

Cashier. Stop mocking customers, Mr. Cashier. I love how mean these subway employees seem to be we go to get bullied by women oh and you get a sandwich but not the one you want super worst subway and stuff yeah I'd give Zero Stars if I could. I greeted employee with good morning and he replied, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'm assuming his head tipped back, closed his eyes before he said it. Clenching and unclenching his fists. Fuuuck! I was walking up to the counter and being like, hey, how you doing?

And they burst into tears. I can't do it again! Turning around and punching the glass door on the oven. I can't with this bullshit! Fuck! Sandwich was horrible and the service was even worse. Employees swore at me when I asked for a certain bread. That's the same guy!

That's the same guy who said Italian herbs and cheese and he's like, Fuck! Fuck off! Shit! How's this happening so much? The same guy who said Italian herbs and cheese. He's like, fuck! Fuck off! Shit! Shit! I think he just lost a hundred bucks. He made a bet that the next person would ask for Italian herb and cheese. They asked for one of the other ones.

You're like, you're the one cunt who came in that day and ordered the whole meal. Fuck! I usually never leave reviews, but these ladies were very rude. who came in that day and ordered the whole meal. Yeah. Fuck! I usually never leave reviews, but these ladies were very rude. There was also a huge dead moth in the spinach and they served it, just picked around the moth. No, that isn't true. They didn't do that.

That's not true. Probably. But are you making these up? It wasn't a moth. This is so real. You have no idea how many different subways I looked at. Zooming in around on Google, Google maps, having the time of my life.

Oh man. I suppose if you sample enough, then you're going to get the really weird stuff. Right? Like if you've got a deep enough pool to dredge from, some of the stuff you pull up is going to be alien. The pool is amazing as well, because there are so many fucking subways and like every subway has like hundreds of reviews. So I think this is actually what the podcast is now.

Yeah, the subway. For at least the next couple of weeks. Whatever hits, honestly. Not sure what was going on, but I walked in and the person wouldn't speak with me. I started looking at it and I said, Hey, how's your day going? And they just stared at me for a few seconds awkwardly. So I left. They don't know how to answer that.

They work at, they work in it. Subway. Why would you ask that? Yeah. Honestly, that's the service you get at Umart. You got bullied out of the subway, bro. You got, you got staunched. You got out orered by the subway kid.

You went, oh, too powerful. I got to go. 40 minutes to argue with the window about my sandwiches. This is S A M D W H I C H S sandwiches. It takes two to argue at the window for 40 minutes is correct. What I would say. Yeah. You can't have an argument if only one person is participating.

So, um, look in the mirror, pal. They kind of have to stay there because they're sort of attached there by law. Yes. So I looked up- By needing money to live. I looked up the subway near me, which is a pretty good subway by subway standards. The staff are very friendly. They seem to like, like working at subway.

The top review I've got here from Subway. Last Wednesday around 8.30 PM, I went into the, I'm not going to say where I live, Subway to order a meatball sub. However, rather than walk out with my meal, I was casually informed that they had no meatballs or they were frozen. It was hard to tell which because the frozen part of the statement was whispered, perhaps out of some innate fear that I'd perhaps request they go and defrost them. My problem was quickly solved though as I was advised I could advise I could go to their Glenorchy outlet as they were much busier there and always had an

ample supply of meatballs. Tonight, doubting they've in any way altered their terrible manner in which they do business, I decided to call them in advance, only to discover calls to their store were being forwarded to Message Bank. Will, what a load off. You never know how many pesky customers might be ringing to make an inquiry about those permafrost encased meatballs. It stands as a lesson to anyone managing a business to hand it over to people who obviously don't care about it.

And you make yourself vulnerable to seeing your investment fail because no one else cares for your business more than you. And if you can't be bothered showing up to nurture and guide your business into the black, then don't expect your unsupervised employees to care. There are psychos among us. Yeah. Sometimes I read this and I think there are just people out there that are so different from me.

So different. It's like get a, get something else. You called to ask if they had meatballs? Are you sick? Are you fucking sick in the head? You can't get a different protein? You're only going to go there if they definitely have meatballs and you're checking in advance by calling them?

Calling Subway? You're also shocked that no one picked up the phone at the Subway to address your concerns? And you wrote a screed? You wrote a multiple paragraph screed in the reviews because of the frozen meatballs situation? Of course they're probably frozen, man. You're like, um, crazier than the people that work at Subway somehow.

There's a common thread in these reviews Ben because I'm looking at my local Subway. Meatballs run out? Once I review. Meatballs run out, yeah. At first I wasn't going to leave a review for this place But now I have had more than one bad experience I came in with partner a few weeks ago and the customer service given by the two girls who were working was horrible And they charged my partner for an extra footlong We sat down to eat our food and got told to leave because they were closing at 730 when they actually closed at 8 Classically, yeah Get the fuck out

Apparently mine kind of just turns. This is near my old place just turns into Apparently mine kind of just turns, this is near my old place, just turns into like twin peaks after the sun goes down. There's a horse in there, guys making backwards. Extremely poor service. We went in on Saturday, 29th, July, 2023 at 8.50 PM. There's a big sign on the outside of this subway saying it is open till 11 PM. The lady showed extreme disinterest as soon as we walked in. She said, we cannot stand in front of the counter to select the fillings

that she had already cleaned the place. Then she said she cannot toast using the oven as she'd switched it off. She pretended not to hear what we were saying. And then said there was no one to help her. Left without taking the food due to her extremely poor behavior. Frankly, did not trust her with our food at this point. Do not think we have seen this behavior anywhere else. Yes, because it's haunted after 8 o'clock.

Man, nearly every review I read, well, the list of reviews I read for no matter where in America I zoomed into a subway, Bad Reviews mentioned run out of meatballs, said they're opening hours of this, but they were closed early and two rude girls behind the counter. That is just, every subway is the same subway. It's like in Pokemon, it's always Nurse Jenny or whatever. It's always those two girls. They never have any fucking meatballs and they're closing at 830 because it's quiet. It's the same location. It's a sort of extra dimensional space that you can access via the front door of every single outlet. It's kind of nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

Yeah. And it sucks. It sucks. Let's try and use our special workings here to picture this ingredient. One star review, BLT from Subway Dismal a piece of bacon and Five centimeters long by two centimeters wide on a six inch in brackets 15 centimeters sub Really exclamation exclamation exclamation won't be buying there again. They got one joke piece of bacon. Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah, it's a joke back

Are you accidentally ordered the joke bacon and that's the most disrespectful thing to do because it, it, it's not like you forgot to put the bacon on there. You're like, yeah, this guy definitely wants bacon. I'm going to give him the tiny joke piece and nothing else. Most piss take bacon. I can't. Turned up at at 7 20 PM on a Monday and it was shut, even though it was supposedly open until nine. Another one's got a handwritten note at five 30 on a, on a Saturday afternoon that it's supposedly open until nine. Another one's got a handwritten note at 5.30 on a, on a Saturday

afternoon that it's closed. They're just like. Problem. Yeah. These people wanted to go fucking home. Don't you want to go home? You want to go? It's a Saturday night.

Maybe they wouldn't go out. This is, this is the other classic, the other classic commonality here. Another one star review. I ordered two vegetarian wraps for my kids and they were just about to sit and eat, but the regular girl who works there spoke in a very rude way and asked them to leave because none can sit and eat as they will be closing at 8 o'clock. It is 7.15. Like cleaning the place like an hour and a half before close and then telling everyone

to fuck off. I respect this, but yeah. We're so good. We're definitely on the side of these people because they're like- What are you going to do, not get Subway? The job sucks. They're not getting paid. And yeah, what are you going to do?

That's the thing. Make a sandwich at home? Man. You're doing a long drive and you need to get some dinner, but you don't want anything that's too junk foodie because you've been eating a lot of junk food lately. Like, fuck, I guess I'll get fucking Subway. You're going to get Subway, aren't you? That's how they get you. You're getting it. But like, why do people think like the, the, the one star review from before of the person

say the other person who got told to get out at seven 30 when they closed the day. So they complained about that as their first bad experience. And then they're like, so now I've door dashed two footlongs drinks and two cookies. We don't not get our cookies. The drinks were not the ones we ordered. And they also didn't cut our footlongs. Why did you think it was gonna be better

via door dash? It's the same shop. It's still Subway, except now it's like, it's been manhandled in transit. It's cold. Yeah, it's fucking awful You pay you weren't even there at the store to say that's not the drink I asked for and also could I have my cookie the moment you send your 13 to 15 dollars to the subway? Corporation you've lost your right to complain because you have purchased an item From subway you idiot. Yeah, and like we all do it. It's fine You've lost your right to complain because you have purchased an item from Subway, you

idiot. And like we all do it, it's fine. Yeah, we've all got our sandwich at Subway that we chose to get and then been like, oh this fucking sucks. Oh god, I had fucking Subway. This is on me. I just had a really bad experience where I ordered Subway and then it turned out I got Subway.

Can I give you one to put a little bow on it? Yes. One star. Very rude staff and made very bad Subway. That's the experience. That's the experience. You went to Subway. Congratulations.

You have been to Subway. And you know that Subway is like the dominant fast-force franchise on the planet now. Fast-force. Fast-food force on the planet. fast force fast food force on the planet Yes, because they can do this. Yeah, and you keep going in when you push back. What are you gonna do about it? Yeah, you're so small and they're so big. It's like saying i'm not gonna fly jetstar again. You are you are Flight jetstar again, what are you gonna do spend like $300 more on your flights? Yeah It's cheaper and you know why it's cheaper.

Yeah, what are you gonna do? Go to McDonald's when you wanted Subway? You're not gonna fucking do that. You little sardine bitch, get in the can. If you're mad about it, if you're mad about it, simple solution. Just go to one of the other 40 Subways in your small town. Yeah, well you know what? Make your fucking sandwich at home, but you're not gonna do that, are you? You're not gonna bring your sandwich to work in your little town. Yeah. Well, you know what? Make your fucking sandwich at home, but you're not gonna do that, are you? You're not gonna bring your sandwich to work

in your little packed lunch bag, are you? It's sad, it's sad, isn't it? You little bitch. Wrap that up and wrap that up in paper. How about you change your fucking life instead of making it the subway employee's problem? Got another half hour on subway there, nice. Yeah, great.

Yeah. And if you don't want us talking about our feelings, this is what you get. You get us talking about Subway reviews. Make your fucking decision. Feelings on Subway, one or the other. Yeah. Hey, Subway, that comes from America. A lot of other bad things do as well, and we look in at them in America Watch. America.

This comes to us from W.H.O. in Iowa. Woohoo! Here's a comfort? Sounds like fun. Stan Hope-Man arrested for burning his house down, Sheriff says. Here's a comfort? Stan Hope man arrested for burning his house down, Sheriff says. Well, yeah, it kind of seems like I thought he was in America. Man can do what he wants on his own land, but his own house down. Guess not.

No. It's a big government. A rural Stan Hope man has been arrested after law enforcement officials say he intentionally burned his house down Thursday. Cody Christensen, 28, is charged with second degree arson and interference with official acts according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. He is being held in the Hamilton County Jail. Interference with official acts? Yeah, I think the official act was like try to put the fire out yeah okay yeah there are a bunch of comments on this story

being like can't even burn your own house down in America what's next work yeah this is just a pappy in his house that he wanted to burn down first it was drinking from the hose yeah auto arson we used to drinking from the hose. Yeah. So, so far. Auto arson. We used to drink from the hose. We used to burn our houses down. Can't do anything anymore. The HZSO said a 911 call came in at 2 21 PM Thursday about a house on fire at 2158 360th street.

Fuck's sake. Think, look at them. Look, think about what you're doing. Say it out loud and then see how it sounds when you say it. How far away is first street from 360th street? How wide a span of parallel streets are we counting here? What are you people doing? And there's no joy to it either

What happened to kind of drawing a circle around a bunch of streets and naming them all after different kinds of birds? Yeah trees or something. What if you look at 12 Sycamore Street? Yeah, oh they're all I mean it makes sense to put them on grids. It doesn't make sense to put it So it's not the ideal. It, you want feeders into arterial roads and stuff. Yeah. Cause they make you nice and big and round. Oh no, she's feeding me the sandwich that makes me, it's a car.

The home was fully engulfed in flames when law enforcement arrived. There were multiple people on the property and one man said, quote, there is a guy with a gun and he appears to be intoxicated. 2-11 is a fucked up time to burn your house down. Crazy time. Right? That's absolutely fucking nuts. I thought this was like 3am. That's a 3am bag. 100%. You hear someone who burned their house down themselves that is a 3 a.m. Activity Yeah, that's the witching hour. Yeah, you know the owl when animals are born

houses burned down us Although you know they're getting mad at him And I think they're hating on him for his success because if I'm burning down my house I want it to be fully engulfed. I don't want a house that is burning down my house, I want it to be fully engulfed. I don't want a house that is partially engulfed in flames. Like by the time law enforcement shows up and there's like a contained fire in the kitchen, you're like, shit.

You're still in the same amount of trouble. You want one of those ones that the firefighters turn up and look at and they go, we'll just wait. Yeah, do the job properly. We'll spray the houses next door, you know? Yes. Yeah, they're playing. They're Yeah. Yeah, the plane the plane. Yeah yours is done Texas hold them while your house burns down. Yeah

Showing each other Instagram reels. Yeah, that's what the American government's doing. Yes. That's right They're sitting my house burns. That's right. They're sitting idly by while your house burns down What if nobody came while your house? your house burns down. What if nobody came while your house burns down? That'd be better. What if, what if everyone just sort of took a payout and then didn't do their job anymore and then America will be fixed now? Yeah, that's right.

We're political. Yeah. It's kind of like, if you're looking for signs that things are immediately going right, you can't, you can't go past planes falling out of the sky. Yeah. Like historic numbers of- You can't, you can't go past planes falling out of the sky. Yeah. Yeah. Like historic numbers of-

Pretty straightforward to understand one. Like the fucking, like a God plague. Oh yeah, that's like God's angry. It's like a biblical plague. Yeah. It's a biblical plague. A biblical plague of falling planes. Like you gotta-

Thanks for carrying me on that. I I kind of fell asleep halfway through that sentence Yeah, you had two mid-strength beers yesterday and socialized with eight people. So you're probably gonna be pretty tuck it out 24 hours ago that happened Everyone was out of the house by what like 2 p.m. Yeah, yeah about that, but then the cleanup I mean, well, I mean our dishwasher is working again. So it was It's good pretty quick to clean everything up. Love that for you. You can't like, I know I don't really want to joke about this too much

because it probably really sucks, but like outside of just the actual things that are happening in America, the, the, the energy there kind of has to feel pretty rancid, right? Like the day to day energy, you've got to just sort of be out in public and just be like, something's wrong. Yeah. Bad, bad bad vibe and no one's doing anything no one should do something fucking like it would be different if someone did something i think i think the energy might change to a more hopeful energy if someone did something if people took like an active step towards doing stuff what if we got a critical mass of just making it so that the people that are making everything bad were scared to keep making stuff bad

because they like feared for their lives. Oh, because like, so they want, one thing I've noticed about people, and this is probably, this might not be connected to what we were talking about then, is that people in general, they want their skin to stay on. Yes. I'm just saying, like like it only needs one reminder Yeah, that skin can be pulled off skin can come off skin can come off If you get body and as much as much money as you got it doesn't keep the skin attached to your like muscles and bones And stuff. Yeah, and if someone starts pulling on that thread. Yeah, it's gonna unravel it's like a mob of like angry people start sort of

Yeah, it's gonna unravel if like a mob of like angry people start sort of Pulling on that it's gonna come. It doesn't matter if you've got like a billion dollars billion dollars billion dollars What I like is coming off the skins coming off? Yeah, a lot of people also don't want to be fully engulfed Yeah, sort of skin skin pulled off fully engulfed in flame up high. Yeah, the higher burning skinless Person yeah, the more people can see it. That's just geometry. Yeah. And if they're wearing like a, you've sort of hung like a sign around their neck that just says like, I am Moloch and it's written in their, their blood.

Yeah. Maybe that would kind of like, I don't know, cause it's interesting. This is just something that I've noticed is that people who are in power have no qualms about using structural violence, you know, stuff that, that impacts people's lives and will really- Oh, but that's quite different from physical violence. Because that one's fine. But, but I think what Ben's getting at is-

I was thinking we could kind of link the two in their minds. Yeah, flip the script. So sort of saying like, oh, you use structural violence and essentially structural murder on people. What if we were violent or murderous towards you? What if we use violent violence to pull your skin off? Because you did this, we're going to rip your fucking skin off and set you on fire and then hang you from a bridge.

So like you see now that your actions were bad. Do you kind of see the link between like your actions and like hanging upside down from a bridge or in the town square? I think we talk a lot about logical consequences when we're trying to get a point across, but like natural consequences, like your skin being pulled off. It's not abstract. Like, there's nothing like, it's not like you have to make logical leaps to be like, I don't understand why my skin's being ripped off.

You'd be like, well, you took health healthcare away from these people so that you're sort of worsening their life. Now we've worsened your life because we've ripped your fucking skin off. Yeah. You see, like it's not, it's not hard to explain. And when you pull the skin off, the like fingernails and toenails come with it, I think. They kind of go, psh psh psh. Yeah. They kind of pop off.

So it's just something to think about. Just, you know, just kind of like let that rattle around in your brain. And if you're listening to this while you're like super like stoned as well, we're talking directly to you and I want you to internalize this thought. Internalize it. Do something. To be clear, I am activating you. Yes.

Heptapod. Cataract. Phenolic. Deputies located the man, later identified as Christensen, and saw him with a shotgun in his hand, drinking what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage. Hell, I've been there, brother. I've been there, brother. Can't enjoy a beer now?

Can't enjoy a beer in America? Man's got his gun out. His gun, which he owns on his own property. His beer he bought. His property. Cody's gun. Cody's beer. Cody's house.

Cody's fire. Yep. Cody's Thursday afternoon. They tried to communicate with Christensen and told him to drop the gun, but the HCSO said he told them to quote, go home. Get out of here. Hell yeah, brother. Ain't none of your business, pal. What I'm doing on my land.

Where was this again? Iowa. Yep. Great. He did tell deputies there was no one else in the house. No problem. Yeah. All good.

He's not going to burn a house down with someone in it. No bodies, no problem. Give him a little credit. No bodies? Perfect. All deputies and fire units were called in to stand by the scene as a safety precaution, and deputies attempted again to communicate with Christensen, but they were unsuccessful. After a little bit of time passed, a deputy was able to speak with Christensen and determine that he lived in the home that was on fire.

Say, hey buddy, what's up? I would have used past tense for that sentence. He lived. Oh, that is past tense as well. Is it? Take that back. Criminal complaints filed in the case claim, Christensen admitted to a deputy that he started the fire and resisted arrest when he was taken into custody

at 3 13 PM. So he had a good 50 minutes of not being in custody, which is pretty good. Hanging out, drinking his beer, cradling his shotgun, looking at his burn house. 50 minutes to really let that fire go. Get it cooking. Yeah. You got a good, you want an ashy looking white hot coal and then you're ready to cook. The complaint also said that he quote, strategically placed firearms around the property. Officials found another shotgun as well as a 22 caliber bolt action rifle that was near the house. Sorry to be clear, still his house, right?

Still his house, still his firearms. Now I... What's the crime? Firearms too convenient? Yes. Too ready for whatever's coming. I have a theory, but I suspect this man might've been in like a horror movie. Yeah. There's like a creature living there that he's sort of doing battle with.

There's Moloch inside the house. Moloch is inside the house and in this fucking sick country as well. It sounds like maybe he was in the third act of a horror movie. Third act of a horror movie. He got to acceptance. Burn him in the house, he comes out the third act of a horror movie. Third act of a horror movie. He got to acceptance. Burn him in the house and he comes out with his guns on every corner. Well see the guns are pointing outwards but what he didn't realise until the third act was that the evil actually lives inside.

It was grief. Ah fuck it was a metaphor for grief. He was meant to feed it worms instead of burning his house down. What if she shot the babadook? She shot the babadook in the fucking... right between the eyes. She shot him off the mantelpiece in the first act. Use it to shoot the Babadook! Single mother domes Babadook? Blast that hat straight off there.

Not after... not after they took our guns. I mean, and Babadook is so close to... No, I'm thinking Snowtown murders. Okay. All right. It was, it was a long way from our Port Arthur massacre. Okay. Hey, this was definitely an episode of the podcast. Bonta Vista.

Uh, thank you so much for joining us.

It's like less than the price of a schooner of beer a month, and you get four bonus episodes a week. 50 bonus episodes a year because of the break that we take. That's a lot of fucking episodes.

If you don't want more sandwich chat, some of the other episodes will be about other stuff probably. So don't stress too much about that. It's like a third of the price of like a pint of Miller genuine draft and Australian pub. True. It's like less than the price of like a six inch sub, like one of the good ones, not one of the shitty cheap ones. So if you just don't go to Subway once a month, you get this instead and then you're better off for not having had Subway and for getting these extra episodes of the podcast.
