Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Hello, hello. Welcome to Buntavista episode 386. Here you are at the whites only segregated air traffic control tower. It's topical. Uh, it's pizza party Friday. The new Kendrick is blasting and I've just finished my coffee so you may speak to me. A Boeing 737-800 has just collided with a parked 717 on the apron, but hey, poor body's nerfect.
Starting point is 00:00:58 With me are my coworkers. They're all called Jim. Their wives are all called Susan. My horrible son Derek punches holes in my drywall and I often wish he was dead. None of us got our jobs here through any of that DEI stuff. We got it the old fashioned way through nepotism. I am not good at my job and I watch porn on the work computer while the planes are flying. Nothing weird, just brazzers, keyword, lesbians. Better check in with some of these pilots before the day gets away from me.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Bravo, Echo, November, you are cleared for takeoff at runway 14. I can see a lot of sort of, there's a lot of squares on my screen, like kind of just like moving squares. I'm not totally sure what that means. I'm kind of tired today, but maybe you could just do like a little visual check. And that's you Ben. Oh, sorry. I'm really bad at that, but it's like a lot of planes and they're all sort
Starting point is 00:01:56 of trying to land at the same time. Like, I don't know. Are you seeing squares? Are you seeing a lot of squares on the runway? I think the squares might be planes because I keep going down at the same time that another plane is going down, it'll keep going, Oh, I'm sorry. You might have, I'm not that cool about four or five other aircraft. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Oh, I need my second coffee. I think, uh, anyway, you cleared for takeoff. See ya. Just sorry to derail the intro. It's really good. It's always beautiful writing. So normal stuff like brazzers, brazzers how we brazzers, right? I'm not sure No, it's just like the most haven't seen it normal that you could look up is like brazzers lesbians
Starting point is 00:02:36 You guys ever seen that ads though the banner ads that is my that is my understanding of the channel Brazzers is like they're doing something kind of like Kabuki over there. Yeah. Like it's a very exaggerated pantomime where it's sped up like 20 times and they're doing sort of cartoon faces. It is like a tele novella, a photographic tele novella. Drama just in that little banner ad. Huh?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah. But it's like a, it's like a little three act play done at incredible speed with people making cartoon faces where the guy's making sort of... Generally, this might just be me, but it's a little wormy guy making doofus faces, but he's fucking. So it goes to show there's hope for all of us. And there's sort of maybe like two ladies and one of them is really mad at him. And the other one is sort of trying to try to fuck him, but get away from the
Starting point is 00:03:32 mad one. Like she's a sentry in a video game. The other lady's mad because the other lady's trying to have sex with him. But then they all have sex. They all have sex. Generally the third act is a sort of turnaround. You wouldn't believe it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like that it's normal. You don't like that we've normalised that? I don't like that. I think it should just be regular kind of style. What?
Starting point is 00:03:53 And what would that be for you? What do you think is normal? You guys don't act like you have to drag this out of me. Just, you know, it's very interesting because, you interesting because often this is a very, something enjoyed in isolation. So sometimes something that you might think is normal is actually very freakish. But it's not until you say it out loud on a podcast that you find out that it's weird. That's true. And our listeners love to sort of speculate on our sexual proclivities.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I'm just talking about, about two people. Yes. A husband and wife. A husband and wife. It does not have to be, could be wife and wife. Could be husband and husband, but not for me. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I was, I got really excited for a second there. I thought this was going to be a beautiful moment of being like, yes, Theo, come on. I guess not. And they're just enjoying, you know, a bed together. Right? Each other's bodies. Just? Each other's bodies. Just enjoying each other's company. It is kind of weird that like the sped up Brazzers Kabuki ads are kind of like a pretty...
Starting point is 00:04:55 Because obviously they work, right? Or they wouldn't do them because they're worth a ton of money and they've spent a ton of money on advertising. They're probably A-B testing the stuff. They probably know that works really, really well. And it's just a horrible sign of like, what works on the circuitry of the human brain. We are dumb and easily tricked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Like it's the same as like the fucking people watching subway surfers. I was gonna say subway surfer while watching pornography. We should never have been able to figure out the like, the ways that you can completely bedazzle the human brain. It should be way more difficult to get porn. Like when I was a teenager, there was like, I had some like gifts on the computer.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah. It's like some gifts. Yeah. That's, that's how bad it was in the nineties. You wouldn't understand printing out a single pornographic image on an A4 piece of paper on your home printer and then looking at it later. And putting it in a little plastic sheet, keeping it in a folder. You would have one pirated video, like you just had to watch that video.
Starting point is 00:05:57 That was the porn. You wouldn't understand. I think we need more repetition and appreciation of the arts. People these days probably aren't going back to a favorite pornographic video. No, they might be. I think most people are just getting stuff off the front page. Yeah. I think you're just scrolling the front page, which is the algorithm.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yes. It's just giving you more of the same, you know? Yeah. It's Spotify, porn herb, X tube. They've all got the same fucking problems. Just, I want, for this week, I want you to pick one pornographic video and only watch that one. You might discover something new on a rewatch.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yeah, you'll find allegory, you know. A look that they give to each other and there's no words but it's all kind of in the acting. Yeah, you might notice more about the mise en scene. You know? Yes. Yes. Anyway, we're getting distracted here. Is the floor messy because they're having too much sex?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Tango, hotel, echo, Oscar. I can see that you're on final approach. You are cleared to enter the airspace. Yeah. Did you see the last episode of White Lotus? I watched it with my bitch wife last night. Now before we get into this we just need to exchange the password. Is this Whites Only? Yeah, this is Whites Only.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Am I talking to the Whites only? You're talking to the Whites Only Tower. Only Tower? Okay. Alright, well, that's good. Because I've been drinking a lot. Today? Sort of every day. You feeling good, beers, spirits?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah, I find that one and a half beers gets me right for the, oh shit, what's that dial mean? Gets me real good for the landing of the plane. It's kind of like playing pool. It's like you have one or two beers, like you're flying the plane, great. And just like pool, after one and a half beers, you're calling the shots.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I'm saying runway 97, or it could be upside down and it could be L6, or whatever it is. I'm landing on that one. I love so much that nearly, like any other person alive would say that like the two beers feeling, but you've scaled it down for yourself.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Oh, two beers is simply too many. I'm going to need to reduce that by 75%. Sorry, to 75%. I know we've had this confusion recently. Sorry to be rude here, guys. I'm just getting a lot of these fucking Mayday calls. You know, they've got these women pilots now since the 80s. Yeah, I wouldn't fly with them.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Can't really hear you guys. I'm just getting a lot of pull up, pull up. So sick of that guy. See, there are a few more like small, small plane crashes in the U S over. Yeah. It's topical actually that intro that I just did. Yeah. Oh, I thought you just were just racist.
Starting point is 00:08:44 All of us. It's just a dream for me. Everybody loves Theo's normal now intro and Lucy's racist now intro. I'm glad Lucy's not racist because we like to come to her to ask her questions. And we ask her those questions in Paging Dr. Lucy. This comes to us from r slash swingers. Guys full stop. Good start. Is there a line break after that?
Starting point is 00:09:41 There is not. I don't think you're allowed line breaks in titles. How do you handle your wife or girlfriend getting significantly more attention than you? That's kind of the deal. That's historically the deal. Because you've like, you've rocked up, like your jeans are like three sizes too big for you and you're wearing like a black leather belt that you got it, came out, it's done up really tight.
Starting point is 00:10:05 So they're bunching up weird when you've rocked up and like your wife is like, um, she's like really hot. She's like a smoke show. She's putting like a lot more effort than you. She did her hair and her makeup and like, she's been looking after her skin. What do you need all those products for? And then she's like radiant and you kind of have to put those two things together. Like, oh, ladies spend so much time in the shower.
Starting point is 00:10:24 What are they even doing in there? And then she steps out and she's like, you know, a goddess. And like you kind of, you like shuffled through the door and you were like feeling a little anxious, so you had both of your hands in your pockets, but it made your elbows flare out. Yeah, bad stance, like unattractive sort of stance. And you can't work out whether you want to have your hands in your pants pockets or in your vest pockets.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yep. Which leads us to another problem. The vest is over a t-shirt as well. And that's not a good look. You thought it would maybe make you look classy, but it kind of does it unfortunately. And also when you went to shake someone's hand, you got your, your hands stuck in your jean pockets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:59 And also you forgot which hand, cause you don't do it very often. Yeah. Whereas your wife, she's kind of got her tits out a little bit and they are looking incredible. Beautiful. Yeah. Whereas you forgot to put on deodorant this morning. You've just realised, like you only just remembered. It's like, what are you going to do now?
Starting point is 00:11:14 You're going to go home? You're going to ask your beautiful wife to go home? Yeah. And soap actually kills the bacteria that causes BO. So bad you can smell it. You're smelling yourself right now. Yeah. You just like the wind change direction. You're smelling yourself right now. Yeah. You just like the wind change direction.
Starting point is 00:11:26 You just went, oh my God, that's me. That's me. And the anxiety, well, that's making you look even worse. Cause now you're like super hunched over. You're basically trying to hide. Yeah. You've taken your backpack off, which has your Lenovo laptop in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Another problem. You're looking at it for some roll on. And all of your cables and your Raspberry Pi's fallen out. And you're trying to tell people that it's for like a retro gaming Pi, but you're getting all the words mixed up because you're really nervous. It's my Pi. It's my game Pi. It's for classic games. Metroidvania? You know, it's Sonic.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Meanwhile, your wife has already got a hand on the front of someone else's pants and you're just sort of, yeah. So I think that's going to happen. Your wife's getting dicked down. That's it. Your wife's getting dicked down, you're fumbling with your cables. Yeah. He's over there.
Starting point is 00:12:19 He's got actually three vans for his electrician's business. Yes. Yeah. He's doing pretty well, actually. And he's masculine. He's doing pretty well actually. And he's masculine. He's not just a businessman. He's like surprisingly masculine. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Covert physicality. He's actually a war veteran. Yeah. But like he was, it's kind of complicated. Like he's not like a bad guy. He signed up cause he was young and he was, he was sort of kind of tricked into it by the promise of money and that he was doing the right thing. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Still has good politics. Yeah. Yes. And he ended up becoming a chaplain cause he thought maybe that was a good way that he could help people by providing like spiritual guidance. But you know, he doesn't really like to talk about that stuff. Effortless physicality. Like he doesn't look like he goes to the gym all the time, but you can tell.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Can you see him lift something? You can tell how strong he is. The way he stands, like you seem to sort of like hold a beer and when his arms are at a right angle, you're like, oh. Forearms? He's got his sleeves rolled up? He's got forearms? That one USMC tattoo on his forearm. He's looking after that thing.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Shit. Advanced parties on social media, basically everything. My wife gets probably 10 times the amount of attention as me. Yeah. Not to mention when we're at a club, if someone sees me without my wife, first question they ask is, where is she? Fuck. This is brutal.
Starting point is 00:13:30 How do they know her? And they know you because of her. Hey, where's your like extremely hot fuckable wife? Is she hiding behind you? You oafish giant. Hey, I kind of see you stepping from one side to the other, along with the music. Can I, I was really hoping though, I could grind up against your wife. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:51 On the dad's floor. Just going to sort of look behind you. No, not there. Where is she? Nice to see you though. Good to see you. Good to see you. And your-
Starting point is 00:14:00 John? Jim. Good to see you both. Hey. It would be good to see you both, hey. Right? It would be good to see you both. Where is she? Where is she?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Where is she? Where is she? At first, it was more balanced. I was happy she was getting self-confidence and we were thriving. Now I feel like she's almost gotten an ego unintentionally and it's destroying mine. How do you navigate this? Well, for one, you're only getting worse because this insecurity is ugly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:28 The anxiety, ugly. Yeah. The answer. The lack of confidence. Cuck. You've, you've got to get into cuck stuff at this point. You are being cucked. Have you thought about like leaning into the shame that it makes you feel?
Starting point is 00:14:38 Have you thought about sort of eroticizing your anxieties and insecurities in a way? How about when she passes out in the deepest, most perfect sleep of her life, because she's like sucked and fucked away through the, like all the most beautiful people at the party. So she is zonked. She's absolutely zooted. She is out. You're lying awake.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Have you considered sort of hunching up in the posture of a medieval gargoyle from the edge of a cathedral and just sort of angrily masturbating while going, oh, I'm fucking pathetic. No one likes me. And then sort of getting more and more turned on by that. And then you could become the gargoyle at the Swingin' Barbeys. And everyone would call you, they'd be like, hey, gargoyle's here. Oh, the gargoyle.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Hey, where's your wife? Where's your wife, gargoyle? I need to have sex with her. Has anyone seen the gargoyle's wife? Hey, I came here to fuck the gargoyle's wife. Where is she? So you could just sort of like get a dining chair Just sort of I don't reckon take all your clothes off I reckon pull your pants down around your ankles and then crouch on the dining chair watching people look for your wife and then fuck her when they find her and get angrier and sadder than Lauren Security.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Make weird grunting noises while you're doing it. Start crying a little bit throughout and then you're going to have the best, weirdest come of your life all over the buffet because you're still behind the dining table. This is, how often do you reckon the situation is reversed? That it's like- Where the guy's like too hot. Yeah, it's the ex Marine chaplain electrician and he's like sort of frumpy wife. And he's like really mid frumpy wife, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah, and she's the one with the retro gaming pie. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and you know this guy started it as well for sure. Oh, for sure. And for selfish reasons too as well, right? Yeah, because he wanted to fuck other people. Yeah. Because he got bored of his smoke show wife somehow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:37 They're attention spans these days. Yeah. Yeah, godness. Why don't you just try fucking the same woman over and over and over again instead of just choosing a new one all the time. We've watched too much porn. We've ruined our attention spans. Why don't you just try fucking the same woman over and over and over again, instead of just choosing a new one all the time? We've watched too much porn. We've ruined our attention speeds.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yes. You should have really only ever seen one naked woman and it should be your wife. That way you don't longing for anything else because like, well, this is what they look like. That's what women look like. From an evolutionary standpoint, like usually it's just her in the cave. And if another naked person comes in, they're here to kill you. They're either a family member or a rival tribe that is there to take you out.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yes. Correct. Hey, can we do just a little sidebar on stuff we should talk about? Yeah, yes. Oh my god, yes please. Yeah come some stuff we should chat about. Don't tell her stuff, stuff to chat about. Here comes some more stuff to chat about. We're chatting about stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah baby. So my four year old, he loves reading books that you can learn stuff from, which is wonderful. We got him like the, there's that book of the like cutaway stuff that has all the different slices and things. Like it takes like, we're reading about the Empire State Building and it's got like all different slices of the Empire State Building. Incredible cross-sections type stuff? That incredible cross-sections.
Starting point is 00:18:06 But he's also got a book that was like about all different kinds of nature and we were reading about chichlets and they, they're a fish often found in Africa and they hold their like little babies in the mouth while they're like getting set up to go out in the big wide world. And I thought, oh, that's cool. I might read a little bit more about them. I found out these ones that they mouthbreed. So when the lady lays the eggs, she then goes and scoops them all up in her mouth to keep them safe, which is nice. But then the guy, well, they're all just unfertilized in there. And then the guy, he's got around his like genital mound.
Starting point is 00:18:56 He's got some two dots that look exactly like eggs. And so the lady goes to try and scoop them up. Oh. And this is how the guy gets sucked off. And then he's got a, he's got a spurt for, yeah, like in her mouth. Are we using the concept of getting sucked off for a fish? For a fish, yeah. And then, and then she's kind of just got to like swill that around with the eggs.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Jesus Christ. To kind of do the eggs Benedict kind of mix in there. I told her, and that's how nature works. And this is the stuff you wanted to- That's the stuff. No, that didn't make it into the book. That's the stuff you wanted to chat about. They're, they're censoring- That didn't make it into the book chat about. They're censoring nature so that children don't work.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Sometimes nature works in very long and obtuse ways to get what it wants. To get there, right? To go like, well, I guess I've got to get my fish wife to suck me off so So I'm going to evolve a couple of little pictures of eggs. Ours is so simple. Yeah, ours is pretty, well not how I do it, but I think the intended version is pretty straightforward. It can be. It can be pretty straightforward. Sometimes it's just two people, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yeah. Hey, I bet those eggs are very small. There's a different kind of egg we talk about in Big Egg. What's big and small at the same time? Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big Egg, Big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg Oh, big! I want a big egg For breakfast eat something the size of my head
Starting point is 00:20:48 Hop out of bed, toast up a whole loaf of bread Won't eat for a week cause I'm gonna stay fed Big egg this morning, frying it up while I'm yawning Realization is dawning, egg is too big Don't own a pot, it will fit Egg white all over my shit Crack in a pan that blots out the whole sun Cook up an omelette that must weigh a ton.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Flip it and serve it and eat, I deserve it, big egg means my day has begun. Oh yeah. I think more people have heard that theme than have heard this podcast. Yeah. There's a lot of showing this to their wives. Yeah, I showed this to my girlfriend. Why did you do that? So a little bit of context.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Well, actually, let's't worry about the context. It's so good. This is from K-O-C-O in Oklahoma, the Coco. Some bad eggs ruining Oklahoma egg stands on a system. All right. Now, are we touching on a little use of metaphor here? Yeah, well, they're using metaphor. They're not being literal.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Wordplay. Wordplay, yeah. They're not sometimes hard to differentiate. Sometimes for our listeners, sometimes for some of our hosts, and we're not specifying anyone. As egg prices continue to break the bank, some locals are resorting to breaking the rules. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yes. This would be the first thing that would collapse. Probably the honor system. Yes. Yeah. Like that would be the first thing to go as America collapses. Yeah. Then it's sort of roving bands of cannibals.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Yes. It'll be guns and roving mobs. Explosions will continually shake the earth, et cetera, et cetera. But first, the honor system. Yes, that's right. Local egg stands like one in Moore have run on respect for decades now, but as egg prices continue to skyrocket and demand increases, some stands are having to up their security measures.
Starting point is 00:22:41 At Lost Creek Urban Farms stand, the rules are pretty clear. While everyone might take their eggs differently, some people just straight up take them. Wow. There's not a lot of wordplay here. A lot of back and forth. That's a fucked up thing to do. That's not okay. That's really not okay.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It still feels like a crazy thing to do, like the roadside honor system at this point in time. Yeah. I think it's nice. What with our things, how things are. Anyway, you should be shoplifting, stealing eggs from a major supermarket. Don't steal it from the outside. Yeah. Well, so those are like few and far between and they have a limited variety of goods.
Starting point is 00:23:16 What are you going to do? Like steal 10 pineapples? Okay, great. What are you going to do now? Are you making tapache? Are you making tapache? I'm making pina coladas. You know, pina coladas all week, all fucking week. Okay, great. What are you going to do now? What are you going to do with this? Make tapache? Are you making tapache?
Starting point is 00:23:25 Making pina coladas? You know, pina coladas all week? All fucking week? You're going to make pineapple and habanero salsa or they give it to all of your friends? Oh, that sounds so nice. Quote, I would probably say you're supposed to pay for the eggs, said Eric Goforth, the owner of Lost Creek Urban Fund. All right, Seinfeld.
Starting point is 00:23:50 It's so good when someone just sort of describes reality. Yeah, but with like a sarcastic bent. It's not false what he's saying. Yeah. I guess. Oh yeah, we're paying for eggs. Yeah, I'm thinking you should pay for the eggs. I'm thinking you're supposed to pay for the eggs. Yeah, we've sort of got a system here where we exchange money for goods.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Sort of been, we've been operating on that for a little while. Quote, he took four cartons of eggs. Just again, you know, go forth said. That's a lot of eggs. What are you going to do with them eggs? Yeah. Are you making quiche? You're making a quiche? You're making an eight egg quiche?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Making a lot of quiche-lets to give to your friends? Making a quiche for every to give to your friends? You're making a quiche for every single one of your friends? To go with your hot sauce? A quiche and a hot sauce for dinner? Or is it a tepache on a shirt? A costly crime played out on Goforth's Ring camera this week. Footage shows a man stealing 48 eggs from the farm self-service stand. And while it might not be the crime of the century, in times like this, every egg matters.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah. It's like, I mean, it seems to be that only maybe there's like a stable solution for capitalism in times of plenty. Yeah. Yes. And that as soon as the supply is restricted, then I mean, we kind of, we got rid of all of the sort of like social contracts of helping each other. Yeah, we just didn't want to have that anymore.
Starting point is 00:25:10 We didn't like it. Because we didn't want to share with each other. It's sort of every man for himself. Because these are my cabbages. Yeah. So if I gave them to you, where am I? What am I getting back? Where are my cabbages?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Why would I give them to you? I don't have the cabbages anymore. If you have them, I don't know how else to explain this. So we sort of, if you give me something that sort of in some way represents equal value to the cabbage, so I'm not down. Like goats, no, I don't want to give you a whole goat. I need part of a goat, but the goat's not fungible.
Starting point is 00:25:42 We need to funge this goat. I wish goats are not fungible. I think that's the problem. We need a system for fungible. Yeah. We need to funge this goat. I wish goats are not fungible. I think that's the problem. Yeah. We need a system for funging goats. The men who funged a goat. Do you reckon that, uh, you know how in John Wick, everything costs like one of the coins? One of the coins.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like he's very rarely handing over multiple coins. Yeah. So like an indefinite hotel stay One coin. Yeah, grub pays one call That's a baffling in joke from the discord But what if you need to break one of the coins what if you get something really small What if you're getting like a banana? What if it's eggs? What if you just want to buy some eggs? You don't want to give over your well good news Well, good news, now eggs cost two coins.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yeah, that's right. Great joke. Banger. In the John Wick universe, eggs cost multiple coins because of the stuff that's in the news. That's why you listen to this show for high concept gags like that. Yeah. Back in the day, I would have put that on Twitter. With the recent rise in bird flu, demand and cost have never been higher.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Spiking costs in every step eggs make from the chicken to your plate. You're doing too much with it. Like, can we just dial the writing back a little bit? Work on your novella. Yes, that's right. Go work on your book. About the plucky reporter that has something more. Yeah. Go work on your book. About the plucky reporter that has something more. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And then she meets a guy that's a cannibal, really wants to be eaten by. I mean, that's the push and pull of knowing that being eaten would hurt. Yeah. But wanting to please him. But wanting to please him. So good. Yeah. Quote, you have a lot in feed.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You do have a lot you're paying for even before you sell the eggs, go forth said. Yep. So egg production costs money. It got us free. Yeah. Maybe people don't know this, that it's not free to produce the eggs. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Quote. You got to deal with chickens, there's a whole kit and caboodle. Quote. So, you know, to get that end product stolen, you know, that's all your profit, Goforth said. Yeah. So if you don't have the egg, you can't sell it, which means you don't get the money for it.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Mm-hmm. I'm following. Yeah, I think we've really covered all the basics of how selling eggs for money works. How trade works. He said, this is a battle he and other farmers have fought before, but in this economy? You don't really hear that sentence or that phrase sincerely. Genuinely, in this economy. In Astra Economia?
Starting point is 00:28:13 It's hard to ignore. Quote, to be on the honor system, it makes everything efficient, go forth said, because you're not paying for the labor of taking it to the shops or of paying someone to be there to sell it. Bodyguards. On the side of taking it to the shops or of paying someone to be there to sell it. Bodyguards. On the side of the road. Yeah. Kevin Nash standing there guarding the eggs.
Starting point is 00:28:30 But then John Wich... John the Militia. ...rocks up and he just walks off. Blackwater mercenaries. He said, one bad egg won't ruin his stand. Oh, boo. Yeah. Come on.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And that made the headline too. Yeah, you've double dipped on the bad egg. Pardon me. I probably thought it was so good it's like like us picking a title, but it's like a Very basic sort of I think it's part of the game of the podcast people see the title I go What could make someone say a sentence that crazy? I guess I'll have to listen like one bad egg is no The velvet underground of teaching chimpanzees to breastfeed or whatever. That's a good one. Was it orangutans or chimpanzees?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Orangutans I think. They're trying to get on Bunta Vista at this point. I read this and I'm like, yeah, you're trying to get our attention and you do. But you look desperate. You look desperate, babe. Trying to get the BV boost. I'm living my life in the wackiest fashion possible, but not in a particularly newsworthy way. So yeah, so the chances of being noticed are very low. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Uh, so now customers will be able to take their eggs with a side of surveillance and an extra order of instructions. Enough, enough. Calm down. Yeah. The guy's eating you cause you're annoying. All right. Fucking Aaron Sorkin.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Let's dial it back. It's like our Sorkin double dicked on it. Double dicked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. On his marriage. Also double dipped on an egg joke.
Starting point is 00:30:02 He did the French, why the French only have one egg for breakfast. Cause one egg is an oof, an oof. Right. Oh. He did that in, um, fucking the West Wing and one of his other shows as well. He had a character do it twice. So this journalist, equally as good as Aaron Sorkin, both double dipping on egg jokes. Double dipping, double dicking, double dicking on egg jokes.
Starting point is 00:30:31 There's a title. There it is. Now there, that's just that easy. And though Goforth hopes to hike up security measures, he told Coco that he will not be filing a police report against the man seen in the video. Yes. Yeah good Good fuck. Yeah, don't support this man. I'm back on your side. I'm worried that this- I'm worried that this- Actually, I was never not sorry. I apologize. I've always been on your side. This article surely is like reporting on suicide. It's like you're actually going to encourage people to steal eggs. Like I hadn't thought about stealing eggs from an honor stand before, but now-
Starting point is 00:31:02 They're gonna fuck you up. Oh they have eggs out in the they have eggs out in the rain? You can just do that? There's eggs everywhere for those with eyes. Eggs, they're a type of food. There are lots of other types of food, including beef. It's time for Beef Watch. Tab for Beefwatch. This is from KTAB in Aveline, Texas.
Starting point is 00:31:33 The tab bids NSC beef to showcase spinal cord free processing tech at global conference in Japan. I don't like that sentence. Cannots. Yeah. That's unpleasant, isn't it? Yeah. Just like the machines, I'm going to need to process this. Can you hit that?
Starting point is 00:31:54 Bairds NSC beef to showcase spinal cord free processing tech at Global Conference in Japan. Sometimes you learn something that you've just never really thought about before. That's what this podcast is for, I think. We're trying to illuminate the shadowy corners of the world. We talk a lot about meat processing. Yeah, actually it's mostly just like- There's a lot of stories involving rendering, processing, slaughter. Yeah. A group from the big country, I guess that's what we call it.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia?
Starting point is 00:32:38 Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? Russia? beef-related illnesses and has been invited to showcase their process at a global conference in Japan. So what are they doing?
Starting point is 00:32:46 They got a little robot arm comes out, grabs the cow by the coccyx and just gives it a whip? Yeah, I think this is Mortal Kombat finisher technique for cows. They're just whipping that whole spine out. Wouldn't that be satisfying? One clean spine. NSC, or No Spinal-C no spinal cord beef processing is based in bed. No, you can't.
Starting point is 00:33:10 You can't bury that leak. That is so fucked to already have an initialism for that. Was it beef NSC? Oh yeah, the fact that they don't start with the long version. Yeah. In the headlight. Like that you would already know what that is. You'd kind of have to solve it like a word puzzle because they do say
Starting point is 00:33:32 spinal cord free, but they don't say no spinal cord. There is no way you would read the headlight and be like, Oh, no spinal cord. Oh, no spinal cord. Yes. Yeah. And do you think that like, if they don't get anywhere with the no spinal cord approach, because they are kind of seem to be fixated that the spinal cord is the problem. They've hitched their wagon to that.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Do they have to like find a backronym for NSC when they pivot to like maybe we leave the spinal cord in and we try like, you know, marginal improvements over existing. It's not a hundred percent perfect. All right. The company has patented a new design for de-boning beef during processing before it is made into various cuts. Now I know that this is kind of gruesome, but also that a lot of our beautiful listeners might be vegetarians or vegans who find the discussion of the animal industry horrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Sorry about that. But this is crazy to imagine. Deboning beef? Talking about it like you're talking about fish? That's not the same. A lot of bones in a cow. That's why there's so much technology goes into it. That's true.
Starting point is 00:34:42 The bone and spinal cord of a cow can harbour harmful minerals and metals, which when consumed can cause neurological disorders in humans. Wait. Autism. Autism. Mercury? There's mercury in the cow spine? They got mercury response?
Starting point is 00:34:55 And it's giving me autism? What, I'm making a beautiful ossobuco? Autism from ossobuco? Ossobuco gave me autism? Autism from Ossobuco? Ossobuco can be autism? This is what's going to come out of the RFK sponsored like autism research. It's going to be Ossobuco all along. Man, this isn't fun now that we just remember something that happened in American news in the last week.
Starting point is 00:35:24 First you do a little laugh and then you go, Oh boy. Oh boy. Yeah. They're not gone. Okay. I'm good. I saw a story this week that was about park rangers who had been fired, but specifically talk to them about having family members who are out there, like
Starting point is 00:35:41 cheering for all the government spending cuts and stuff and they've got to come back to them and be like, hey. Yeah. I was the guy that was maintaining the grizzly population in Yellowstone. And all my uncles are like, ah, we got you. Yeah. You're probably making those grizzlies gay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah. Kind of really, they're ruining the good thing that America had left. Cause everything else was already in a horrible decline. Yeah, like the national parks. Now you're kind of fucking those over. Yeah. Pretty depressing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Uh, the bone and spinal cord of a cow can harbor harmful minerals, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Gary Hendrix, the developer of the technology and owner of NSC beef processing believes that with the current state of the beef industry, this new technology will help streamline the process for everyone involved. What is their test bed look like? Do you think for the... Oh, well, yeah, fuck, they got to go through a lot of carcasses.
Starting point is 00:36:37 So good. Quote, beef is high, very high. I don't see it coming down anytime soon. Oh, beef is ascendant? The beef is ascendant? Beef is ascendant currently. We're bullish on beef? We're bullish on beef?
Starting point is 00:36:48 We're bullish on beef? Yeah, I think. So being able to produce it a more efficient way is going to actually be sustainable, Hendrik said. Quote, we can't use that as an episode title because we've already done bullish on hog, by the way. Quote, we're going to be 30 to 50% faster than the industry is now. We're bringing a safer product.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Also from the standpoint of cooling twice as fast as the industry standards. Oh, because they're not putting, like they're not having to cool the spine. Is that right? I guess. I have no idea. This is so far outside of my area of expertise. I don't know what my area of expertise is, but this is not anywhere near that. HVAC for cows?
Starting point is 00:37:35 One of the researchers on the team, Lacey Mankin, Lacey Mankin, told KTAB slash KRBC, the current state of the meat industry is unsanitary and can lead to diseases when consumed. Quote, it's a huge health issue and it needs to be more public, Mankin said. The amount of exposure to microbial contaminants that comes from exposure and exposing the meat when you cut the spinal cord vertically of the cow is not eliminated by the current lactic acid spray or the wash. Okay. eliminated by the current lactic acid spray or the wash. Okay, so. So this is ripping the spine out before you cut the steer in half.
Starting point is 00:38:09 This is nasty. Yeah, and then they kind of give it a spray with lactic acid. Yeah, which isn't. It's the stuff that makes your legs tired when you walked upstairs. True, yeah. Quote, our ranchches in the US are hurting. We're losing thousands of them every year, Hendrix added.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Are the jobs or just suicide? To death? To suicide? The ranchers can make suicide? That's a really strange way to phrase it. This is so grim. It's economically friendly. We're going to bring more safety to
Starting point is 00:38:40 the workers as well and safer product to the consumer. So it's a win-win situation. NSC currently sells its meat at Circle H. That is, I believe, a Texas chain of supermarkets. Okay. I think. It's also a place for helicopters to land. That's very true.
Starting point is 00:38:59 That's true. They will present their technology to universities and various meat processes in Japan, hoping that more industry professionals will recognise the benefits of producing cleaner beef. What does that machine look like? And it's the spine that's the problem. It's the spine that's the problem? The spine that's contaminating you, because of metals. There's metal in the spine and cutting the spine open, so you've got to rip the spine
Starting point is 00:39:20 out for safer beef? I can't think about contaminants anymore. I don't eat much meat. This stuff grosses me out, but I know that I'm contaminated with all kinds of stuff. Plastics, metals, mercury, lead. You know? I think there's like a real, the more we find out about all the shit that's in us, the harder it is to care. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Cause it's like, what do you want me to do about, oh, my brain's 50% microplastic. All right. What do you want me to do about my brain's 50% microplastic? All right. What do you want me to do with that information? Like the average load of sperm is 90% microplastics now. Okay. Is that should I? What? What do you want me to do with that information?
Starting point is 00:39:58 What now? What's the next step? What's next? What's next? Okay. I read the headline on Live Science and now I'm like, ah, that seems bad. Oh my, my cum's full of microplastics. Great.
Starting point is 00:40:09 All right. There's a credit card in my brain. All right. Cool. What do you want me to do? What do you want me to fucking do? I hope someone's working on it. I don't know anyone that's working on it. No.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Someone's got to be. That was probably some of the things that got cancelled. Should I, should I stop using Tupperware? Got to stop using my, my cookware, my Tupperware. What do you want from me? What do you want from me? What do you want me to fucking do? Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:32 It's in there. It's not coming out. Can I remove it? Is there a thing I can do? Is there a machine that will magneto it out of my bloodstream and my brain? Blood brain barrier? The cum? What are we doing? What are you gonna, you're gonna extract my brain? Blood brain barrier? The cum? What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:40:45 What are you gonna, you're gonna extract my cum? My plastic cum? You're gonna sort of strap me down to a table? Kind of milk me? Kind of milk me like a cow? Rip my spinal cord out, take the mercury out, put the spinal cord back in? That sounds like that'd be pretty, that'd be great. Maybe rip my spinal cord out spinal cord out and then just like straighten it out and give it a stretch. I bet that feels so good. Oh God. Can I get a refurb? Can you just give me sort of a quick interior polish?
Starting point is 00:41:14 NSC refurb my spine? I'd love to be refurb. Oh man. Just find all like the chambers in my body that like hold stuff or the joints, all the parts where things connect or where stuff can get tangled and sort of lay me out flat. All of me, every part of me, I want you to make that. So there's no angles in any of the components of my body, intestines, nerves. Straighten it out.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I want you to just sort of like pull every bit. Like kilometres long. Lay me end to end. All of them. You know, they're like, oh, if you stretched out the human intestine, it would stretch a million times around the equator or whatever. Do that to me. Do that to me.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Pull it out. I bet it feels so good. Yeah. This happens in one of those novels, I'm pretty sure. Handsome guy wants to straighten me out. Hey, they're probably transporting those spineless cow carcasses. Maybe. Probably, maybe.
Starting point is 00:42:09 They're probably, maybe, transporting them by train. It's time for Trainly Speaking. I'm talking to my train, but she doesn't understand me. We travel around the world and she don't know. The things that I would say if I could talk to my train and she could tell me everything she knows. But I've got to keep my feelings bottled up until the day that Manitrain translation is succeeding. And I'd ask that we'd be wed, my train, my wife instead, if I could be train-ly speaking.
Starting point is 00:42:44 my wife instead, if I could be trainly speaking. Wow. Where did that come from? Oh, I think- I think we've played that probably once. We've had it for about a year, I think. Oh, I don't remember anything about the podcast after we've stopped recording. It's not come up again for a long time, even though I've been looking. Yeah, the last time I downloaded this was in July of last year, so it's been a little while.
Starting point is 00:43:07 This is from the Associated Press. Thieves hit trains in Arizona desert, swiped $2 million in Nike sneakers. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Isn't that fucking awesome? Train rubbery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:22 You just don't hear about train heists, although they seem like... Let's bring him back. There's like lots of open space in America that you can probably like... There's not a lot of stuff around. It's like the perfect place to rob a train. There's a life hack. Rob a train in the desert? Yeah, it'd take ages for the cops to get there and what?
Starting point is 00:43:39 There's probably like two guys on the train and they're not going to like... You got your kicks on already. You got your shoes already. And you've got like nine bullets in your pistol. So you can miss seven times. Thieves have targeted freight trains running through the deserts of California and Arizona in a string of audacious heists resulting in the theft of more than two million dollars worth of new Nike sneakers including many that haven't hit the retail market yet. That rocks. You're currently in a place economically where people have to steal eggs.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yeah. Right. But there is just $2 million worth of shoes traveling on a train and some of them aren't even, you're not even supposed to look at them yet. Don't look at these shoes. They've got intellectual property. The secret shoes that haven't dropped yet and there's millions of dollars worth of them. Seems like there's contradictions in capitalism that are kind of funny sometimes. I never really thought about that. Kind of odd that sometimes you'll see things you go, how do those two things coexist at
Starting point is 00:44:40 the same time? During a January 13th robbery in Perrin, Arizona, suspects cut an air brake hose on a BNSF freight train and made off with more than 1900 pairs of unreleased Nikes worth more than $440,000, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court of Phoenix. They knew this is going back. This is like, I don't know, like, like seventies heist kind of shit. Right?
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah. Imagine doing a train heist with your friends. You cut the brake codes? Road trip, little train heist. Oh, it'd be wonderful. Fastback Mustang. Just the two of you. You could wear a little outfit for it.
Starting point is 00:45:18 You could wear kind of a little cowboyish outfit. Yeah. Oh, Bolo tie, cowboy style dress jacket, cowboy hat, but you're wearing like- Well fitted jeans, nice buckle. Yes. All right. I bet you're wearing Wrangler ranches. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:32 And they fit like a dream. Yes. Like a high waist on them, but they look really flattering. And you know you're wearing like the big sort of really chunky, huge Robert Redford style 70's sunglasses. And even like your gun is cool. of really chunky, huge Robert Redford style 70s sunglasses. And even like your gun is cool. If you were like a gun nerd, you'd know it was cool.
Starting point is 00:45:54 You know, like it's not like something where the everyday person looks at the gun that you've got and goes, Oh, holy shit, that's a cool gun. But people in the know, they go, what? Wow, no way. What a really good pick. That was a deep cut. Where did you get that? And you don't want to use it. You're not planning on using it.
Starting point is 00:46:07 It's just that you've just got to be there. Yeah. Because you're sort of like a charismatic badass. So you're like, well, you boys go to choice. You know, either you leave here today or you don't. And you do have a violent side. Like there's a darkness inside you. But you never are rude or mean to women.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yes. There is going to come a time where you have to prove yourself with cold steel. Yes. Yeah. And it will be because someone forced your hand, even though you gave them the option. That's right. Yeah. He told them and they didn't listen.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And on the flip side, you know, if you see someone like wearing these shoes as well, this is the only way the unreleased Nikes hit the market is because they got stolen in a train robbery. So if you see someone wearing the unreleased Nikes, you're like, holy fuck, those are from the train heist. Isn't that dope? You got a train guy? New shoes from the train guy?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Hey man, I heard you got a train guy. Would it be all right if I got his number? Oh, he's not really, he's not doing like new people at the moment, sorry. He's like pretty cagey about it. Yeah, but no, in on your order. Like if you're getting some, can you just get him to throw in like four more? No, yeah, I feel pretty uncomfortable. No, like he'll know that I'm doing it for other people and he's a bit of a, yeah, like
Starting point is 00:47:20 I'd love to. You're kind of being an asshole about this if I'm being... When kids these days you wouldn't understand but it used to be hard to buy marijuana. Yeah. You used to have to like know someone but most the time you only knew someone that knew someone. So you sort of edge around the edges. Yeah, if you're after some research chemicals, that's even harder. Oh, well, it was really fucking easy for a while because you just said I am a university. I used to buy four ACO DMT from a place in Canada where you didn't have to prove that you were doing lab research. You just said, yeah, yeah, I'm at the university of Queensland.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Can I please have a shitload of psychedelics for no money? And they'd be like, yeah. Oh, obviously. What, that is a fumarate? Yes, I do. Many of the shoes were Nigel Sylvester X Air Jordan 4s Which won't be available to the public until March 14th, and I don't know what that is I'm not a I'm not a shoe guy none of us is Andrew a shoe guy
Starting point is 00:48:16 No, he mostly wears like cabana sandals. I think mostly is his color wear shoes They're fucking ugly, sorry. His shoes or these ones? No, not Andrew's shoes. Let's get him, while he's not here. What's up with the gold chain? His shoes look like a fam. He does wear a gold chain, what's that about?
Starting point is 00:48:36 He looks fucking amazing, he's a really, really handsome guy. And plus, it's very easy to look handsome when you're kind of, you know, dishing out just gorgeous food that you've spent all day on. You're sharing with your friends and family? From his cooking? From his cooking and like his kind. Just effortlessly cooking amazing meals. And like how he likes to host you at his house and very giving like. He's a generous man.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Generous, generosity. Anyway. They won't be available to the public until March 14th and are expected to retail at $225 per pair, which means in Australia they're probably like $400. Yeah. What if they were like $20 from a guy in a van? Yeah. What if a guy was just like, oh, you want some shoes? No, but people selling these would have to know that they're good shoes. They'd be scalen them. Yeah. Yeah. What about a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars? What if you just wore that shoe from the age of 15 for the rest of your life and never bought a different shoe?
Starting point is 00:49:31 Yeah, they have to cut you out of your All-Stars when you die. I used to buy, I would say once every six to nine months, a new pair of all black low rise Chuck Taylors. And that was just my shoe. Sometimes I'm, a new pair of all black, low rise Chuck Taylors. I mixed it up. And that was just my shoe. Sometimes I'm getting a white pair. Sometimes I'm getting low. Sometimes I'm getting high.
Starting point is 00:49:52 You can just do that. Yeah. You don't have to have any change in your life. Lucy and I both have a shoe loyalty. Theo, do you have a shoe loyalty? Oh, fine. Because you're kind of wearing dad sneakers a lot of the time. In my mind, at least. When I picture you, you're wearing kind of like dad going out on an errand kind of wear dad sneakers like a lot of the time, in my mind at least.
Starting point is 00:50:05 When I picture you, you're wearing kind of like dad going out on an errand kind of sneakers. Yeah, I'm definitely kind of, there was 10 years in my life there where my shoes needed to look good and I'm out of that now and I need them to be comfortable at all times. So I recently switched to Under Armour because the other ones that I was buying, they just weren't available. I can't remember what I was buying previously, but it's just cheap shoes that last for like five years. I'm paying like 80 bucks for my shoes, more than the ones that just fall apart, like the
Starting point is 00:50:38 back starts peeling apart or whatever. These ones are fine. I'll just wear them for five to 10 years. Um, and I don't care because I want my feet to be comfortable. Well, if you look after your feet, your feet will look after you. Everything starts at your feet and works your way up. I'm a foot health kind of guy. That's so true. If you send me photos of your feet, I'll tell you what's wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:51:03 If your feet are in pain, your knees will be in pain and then your back will be in pain and you, yeah, your whole body, you got to look after your fucking feet. Get the inserts. Yes. If you feel that your, your arches are kind of fallen. If you've got an uneven stance, then your shit's hanging weird. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:19 You want to fix that up? Get your shit hanging right. If you send me a photo of your shit, I'll pay for it. If you send me a photo of your shit and you holding a plumb line so I can tell how true it is, I'll tell you how true your shit is. Oh, your shit's 13 degrees off true. We've got to true your shit. And the Instagram is manned by me.
Starting point is 00:51:44 So don't send it to me. I do not want to see your shit. And the Instagram is manned by me, so don't send it to me. I will not. Send that shit to Lucy. I do not want to see your feet. Lucy, I'm loving your posts, by the way. I'm getting lots of chuckles. Thanks. I'm really enjoying myself on there.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Yes. Like a creative outlet for me. Thanks for posting that guy. The guy that I fucking hate now. That guy? I love him. What's this? We can't.
Starting point is 00:52:04 We should tell people to check him out, I guess. No, what's his Instagram handle? What's his thing? Which guy are we talking about the yelling guy or the guy that tells like the millennial jokes? The dad guy that's like sipping on a cup of tea. That's that's like oh, I was thinking of the yelling guy Cause the yelling guy is an absolute fucking cry guy. Emotions in life insta. Yeah, that's not good. We want to be searching emotions in life insta. That's all my feed is now. They got to turn that guy to soup pronto. He's no bueno.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And I think we're kind of past the immature phase we were going through of accusing people of being pedophiles based on absolutely nothing. Yeah. I think that guy might be a pedophile. There's something about him. Well, I think it's because he's mostly making videos for like teens to send each other. Yeah. Because they have no emotional regulation and they think it's a good idea. Don't be doing that.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Don't be making anything for teens. Don't make something of yourself to be swapped around by teens. Our podcast is not for teens. This is for adults. This is not for teens. Yeah. Even like you can't go to be over like 25 at a minimum. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 You don't have to have that life experience behind you to get the jokes. Like if you get the jokes, it's because you're smart and sort of cosmopolitan. Yes. Yeah. You are cosmopolitan. You are cosmopolitan. Authorities are investigating at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in remote areas of the Mojave Desert since last March, the Los Angeles Times
Starting point is 00:53:25 reported Sunday. All but one resulted in the theft of Nike sneakers, according to investigators. So they're targeted. They're targeted the Nike sneakers. They know. I think they've got insider info. I got it, right? 11 people charged in the Jan 13th burglary have pleaded not guilty and were all ordered detained until trial with Arizona Magistrate judges concluding the defendants posed a risk of fleeing. Yeah, I'd get out of there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Fair enough. Probably if you could kind of like move away from your consequences in a physical sense. Yeah. That would solve your problems once and for all, but you know what the thing is? You are always where you are. Yes. Your problems will always go with you. That's so true. You got to fix yourself in here.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Marcus Aurelius. The singer? Thieves typically scout merchandise on rail lines that parallel interstate 40 by boarding slow moving trains, such as when they are changing tracks and opening containers, said Keith Lewis, Vice President of Operations. Making notes. This is fucking awesome. You've got your feet up on the dash, two door fastback Mustang coupe 70s.
Starting point is 00:54:32 You're wearing flash new kicks. They kind of don't go with the ranches, but I mean, you wanted to wear them. It makes sense. You sipping on a little bit of Dynacoffee, you're smoking a cigarette. You're listening to Casey and the Sunshine Band on your really old head unit in your car. Cause you didn't want to upgrade it. Cause it looks really nice, but you do have to use one of those shitty FM transmitter things to listen to music off your phone.
Starting point is 00:54:56 And you just wait and then you go, Oh, it's train time. You put out the cigarette in your coffee. You get out, you do some little cool moves so no one can follow what you're doing. You get on the train, you go, yeah, we got them. The kicks are here. We got them. And then- Eventually you build up a shorthand so you don't even need to talk to each other.
Starting point is 00:55:15 It's just two fingers pointing at the train. Communicating with your eyes even. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just kind of got a real rapport from all of this train heisting. Blow and kiss from the, that means you've found it. The good to go. It's really hard to distinguish that the sort of the intimacy that you've developed as a
Starting point is 00:55:29 working relationship in crime has almost become like, it's almost a romantic kind of intimacy. It's almost a romantic one, but you know that in the end it's actually going to be erupting in violence as intimacy. It's doomed. Yeah. It's absolutely fucking doomed. But does that mean you shouldn't act on it? If you know that something-
Starting point is 00:55:48 What are we on this earth for? If not to live, if not to feel. Yes. Yes. If you know an avenue will bring you joy before it ends, should you not still pursue it? Is not regret and change part of life? Do you want to die thinking we never sucked each other off on that train? Sue it? Is not regret and change part of life? Do you want to die thinking we never sucked each other off on that train?
Starting point is 00:56:08 Oh my God, while the train was going, the wind in our hair, sitting on a million dollars in Nikes sucking each other off, two beautiful men, 69 in each other. You want to live with that regret? Completely nude except for unseen before Nike's? Except for the other two unrevealed to the public kicks? Think about it. Think of how beautiful that moment is. It doesn't matter if one of you, no, if both of you kill each other in a shootout of explosive violence when everything falls apart, at least you know.
Starting point is 00:56:42 At least you lived, at least you felt. Think about that. At least you sucked. Beautiful cock in your mouth. At least you got sucked off. And sucked off. At least you got sucked off and you sucked off. It's hard. That's ambiguous, isn't it? It is ambiguous. Yeah. Lewis told the Times that thieves are sometimes tipped off to valuable shipments by associates working at warehouses or trucking companies. It's better to have sucked off and lost than never sucked off at all. Yes, and that sounds like a joke, but it's true. It's true. We're saying it as a joke, but I honestly believe this.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I honestly believe it. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, even if you knew how things were going to go, suck that dick. Suck that dick. Suck that dick. The suspects are aided by accomplices in, quote, follow vehicles, which track the rail cars. The loot is tossed off the train after it comes to a halt, either for a scheduled stop or because an air hose has been cut, according to Bryna Cook, a Homeland Security Investigation Special Agent cited in an affidavit filed in federal court. Thest from cargo trains cost the nation six largest freight railroads more than $100
Starting point is 00:57:48 million last year because of the combination of the value of stolen goods and the cost of repairs to rail cars. That's still way more like train heist than I thought was happening. Yeah, 100 million bucks a year? That's so much. I mean, some of that's in, yeah, that kind of street value stuff and the repairs and that sort of stuff. But I don't know, this kind of feels like a natural redistribution of things to me.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Yes. Yeah, the system is just sort of working. Yeah. It's, you need to compensate. If it goes too far in one direction, we're not getting to see those kicks until March. Yeah. I want to see them now. I want to wear them right now. And I've got a guy.
Starting point is 00:58:25 I got a train guy. I got a train guy. I don't mean like a guy I know who's kind of like a train guy. Yeah, we've got. This is different. We have lots of train guys. Plenty of those. We all know plenty of those.
Starting point is 00:58:37 The Association of American Railroads Trade Group estimates that the number of thefts jumped roughly 40% last year to 65,000 nationwide. Oh, it's on the up. We're bullish on train heists. That's a huge spike. We're very bullish on train heists. I feel like this is something we keep coming across on this show is specific phenomena that are jumping up at unbelievable rates.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I wonder why that could be. Something's changing. There's something in the air, isn't there? The suspects in the Jan 13 heist were caught with the help of tracking devices that were inside some of the boxes, the complaint says. They knew someone was going to lift the experimental kicks. Tracking? This is crazy. In another case, a BNSF train came to an emergency stop near Hackberry, Arizona on November 20 after it started losing air, according to a complaint filed in the Phoenix Federal Court.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Sheriff's deputies in Mojave County stopped a white panel van seen leaving the area and found about 180 pairs of then unreleased Air Jordan 11 retro legend blue sneakers valued at $41,400. The driver pleaded not guilty to possessing or receiving stolen goods from interstate shipment. Investigators also recovered a combined total of $346,200 worth of then-unreleased Nike Air Jordans following two BNSF train burglaries in April and June, according to documents taken at times.
Starting point is 00:59:59 That's so high risk. They're going to put these in Faraday cages. Oh, that's true. Yeah. That'd be smart. But you need to turn a container truck into a Faraday cages. Oh, that's true. Yeah. That'd be smart, but you need to like turn a container truck into a Faraday cage as part of your heist. Fuck, that's cool. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Cool. That's cool as fuck. Two other cases in which BNSF freight trains were burglarized near Kingman and Seligman, Arizona last year resulted in the theft of $612,000 worth of Nikes at eight arrests, according to federal criminal complaints. There is just whole worlds of shit happening out there. I think it's beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I love this. Learning so much about the world and hopefully you, the listener are as well. That was certainly an episode of the podcast, Point of Vista. Thank you so much for being here with us. If you're missing Freemium Free Brewery, just know that you can sign up to the Patreon and go back to having two episodes a week. It's like five US bucks a month. It's so easy to get two episodes a week again.
Starting point is 01:00:58 It's an amount of money that if we were the only subscription you had, you would just kind of forget about it. You'd forget about it, but you probably got like 20. So maybe you should consider how good really is that other podcast that you listen to. Unless it's one of the ones that our friends make, in which case don't cancel that one. But maybe if it's not one of our friends, let's switch it over a little. You can cancel our fake friends ones though. The ones where it seems like we like them, but we kind of, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:01:23 And you don't know which ones they are, but it's up to you to figure out. Intuitive though. Just feel it in your heart. Never say it out loud. Just kind of see if you can suss it out. Oh, and I have a new podcast coming out this week with friend, ex-husband of the show, Jesse Black, we have a podcast called savant guard where we watch monk and the good doctor and that will be free coming out this week.
Starting point is 01:01:46 We'll post it in our feed, email, something. What's the title about? What's the joke there, Lucy? Savant-Garde? Yeah. Well, these guys are somewhat savant-esque and that's pretty much it. I just thought it was a fun pun. The other title it was going to be is I Am a Shalurgeon, which is a play on Tony
Starting point is 01:02:07 Shalhoub and I am a surgeon. But I thought that would be difficult. I think you made the right choice. It's a horseshoe-beary kind of moment there. Yeah, a little horseshoe-beary moment, but you know, just for transparency's sake. Yep. And you're both autistic. That's what I've been led to believe.
Starting point is 01:02:21 No, don't say that about Jessie. Oh, I thought you said that. I guess I was surprised. No, Jesse. So Jesse has OCD, which is, which is why we're doing a little Adrian monk, Dr. Sean Murphy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:33 But it's sort of like a fun podcast for our neuro spicy friends by our neuro spicy friends. Yeah. We're going to use the word neuro spicy the whole time. We'll do it. It's super fun. Check that out. We will definitely, we'll be putting that up on the feed. So you'll kind of be forced to hear it really.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And there's nothing you can do about it. You'll just have to lay there and listen to it. That's podcast rules. Thank you so much. We'll talk to you really soon. Stay safe out there. Bye. Bye. It's really up to you. Ah, woo, woo, woo, woo. Ah, do you feel all right?
Starting point is 01:03:31 Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. Do you feel all right? Do you feel the pain as the bill go rain as your sky gets sunny and blue? Well, that's a visual day in a more Jewish way.
