Music Hello and welcome to Bwenta Vista episode 392. I am Ben and I'm a young werewolf king with a perfect body and a dark past. But how about the intro? I've received a letter from my mysterious great aunt, Kay Lin, informing me that I'm about to spend the summer boarding at Protagonist Academy. Yes, far away in the remote, Frozen North is a special school just for protagonists. I'm just a regular werewolf king.

How the heck am I going to fit in? Oh, no, it's my first day. And already a misunderstanding has put me on the first step of an enemy to lovers journey with Shayna, a regular woman who's breathtakingly beautiful, but is also a bit clumsy. It's Lucy. Hi Lucy. Ah, fuck off. Fuck off, honestly.

What? You're just like a regular, you're a regular woman, a regular lady. His names, by the way, are just perfect. Just really want to, good for you. Yeah, there's like a bit of overlap between white woman holding chalkboard of baby names and protagonist. Yeah. Do I need to say anything?

No, it's kind of just the thing itself is kind of the intro. You don't have to if you don't want to. Nah, I think I'm right. All right. Abstain. Uh-oh. I've also run afoul of her best friend, Lena, who has a perfect rack, but occasionally is too blunt in conversation.

It's Theo. Hi Theo. Hey, so you just walking around dressed like that? Yeah, I'm wearing little denim cutoffs. Little denim cutoffs. Cause I might transform at any time. So you, you understand what I've done here is that I've reversed. So the books are usually, she's a regular white lady and she's gone to

werewolf academy, freak place. Yeah. Yeah. She's gone to monster college and she's getting dicked down by a werewolf, getting dicked down by Frankenstein. But now this werewolf king is about to get dicked down. He comes from a place where like everyone's a werewolf King It's just so boring. Yes

Everyone's got a monster werewolf cock. So it's not really that interesting That wasn't specified in the intro yet I think it was implied I think it was implied Some people have smaller ones because there's still natural variation You got knot size you got also Don't, no, okay You got knot size. You got also. No, okay.

Oh gosh darn it. I've just now also gotten into a heated argument with their worst enemy, who is also called Shayna, who's a straight up 10, but is secretly a big nerd. It's Marine biologist, the show Jesse Black. Hi, Jesse. Hello. It's good to see you all. Great.

Perfect. Jesse, can I? I was supposed to be in character there. My bad. It's good to see you all Supposed to be in character there my bad. I mean Lucy didn't fucking bother so who cares? Yeah Can I I just wanted to congratulate you on? you've sort of you've moved up in the ranks of Podcast guests for us now like you've always been great, but but I mean, this is your first time, I think, appearing on a regular episode.

Is this a regular episode? This is a fish themed episode. You don't have to talk about fish at all. Yeah, you can if you want. You put the binder away. You put the power phone away. Close your laptop. Let me just unplug a few USB drives real quick.

I won't be needing those. I'm so excited to be here. You've graduated Podcasters Academy, which is very horny, by the way. And you've graduated, I think because of savant guard, I think, which is also part of the reason why you're on here. Cause you and Lucy have your own podcast now. We do. She's not really been plugging it. Like, well, I've been plugging it on the on the apps It's gonna be the only podcast featuring two divorcees Specifically talking about neuro spicy TV characters

There's definitely like that podcast but it's done by a married couple for sure. That exists. It's got 1000% It seems like it's doing really well. I've listened to every episode so far. I fucking love it. It's a wonderful program. It's a great show. Have you been watching along with a... Have you been watching Monk? No. You must have seen a little bit when I was at your house.

Oh yeah. Yeah, I was watching a little monk, a little good doctor. I watched the- Oh look, Tony Schell Hoop comes on the screen. Little Tony Schell Hoop. Tony Schell Hoop. Emphasis on the Hoop, that's right. Yeah, I watched you watch the fat suit episode of Muck.

Oh no. It's fucked up. Yeah, it's great. It's a great time. To me, you guys are kind of like Neuro Spicy celebrities. And we talk about celebrities in Celebrity Watch. Wow. Wonderful. Really want to thank Demi for the line, Katie Perry's got glass in her vagina, which just keeps being. More and more relevant today in these times.

How much do you have? She went to frigging space. Yeah. And everyone's like, Hey, Katy Perry. Fuck you. Fuck you. You're stupid. Did you guys see that, uh, like Wendy's?

Yeah. Wendy's. Like the Wendy's account did like a thing, being like send her back or whatever. Which like, I agree broadly with the sentiment expressed by Wendy's yeah, like the Wendy's account did like a thing big like send her back or whatever which like I agree broadly With the sentiment expressed by Wendy's. I don't know if Wendy's needs to say that no I think but I I do I do appreciate that if a social media account for a corporation Is going to exist which we all agree is something that is horrific and

is a sin against our Lord. If it is going to exist and it is going to draw its blade, I do appreciate that there is blood on that blade. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Like Wendy's just being like, hey Katy Perry, why don't you fuck off and die in space Thank you Wendy's yeah, I'd bless them for that to be yeah is Wendy's an ally

Right now yes. Yeah tomorrow. I don't know I went there recently and I got a burger that was really dry to be me Sad it was kind of a bummer. Yeah I don't really know what Wendy's is Friend our Wendy's is a don't really know what Wendy's is. You wronged my friend. Our Wendy's is a very different store. Very different. What? Our Wendy's is like a... What is that?

Isn't that donuts and ice cream? Ice cream and hot dogs. Oh, and hot dogs. They just sell ice cream and hot dogs. What? They're kind of like a shopping mall store. It's a fucked up combination too. I don't think it's the same corporation.

They do not share the... Wait, we have Wendy's burgers here as well with the same fucking lady Yeah, I think it's new. I think we're getting Wendy's the old one is Wendy's milk bar But what are they gonna do about all the shopping mall Wendy's? Yeah, that's confusing. Yeah, I don't really see them in Brisbane. So Shopping mall Wendy's I haven't seen a Wendy's like I think I would just blank them out like city in the city style. I think if I saw one that wouldn't even register in my vision, cause I wouldn't, I would have no reason to go to one? Yeah. I feel like hot dogs are a, they're a bear market in Australia at the moment.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm bearish on hot dogs. Okay. I think we've got five dogs and that's it. Yeah. Okay. And there's, but they haven't We've got five dogs and that's it. Yeah, okay.

And there's- but they haven't really taken off, not to the degree of like, Guzmany Gomez. That's true. You- okay. You have to stop saying things that are vaguely complimentary of Guzmany Gomez on this podcast because then we have- People are getting very mad. We have a week in the Discord of people being like, well, it's not good. Like we know, we're fucking aware.

That's like Chipotle for y'all, right? Yeah, but worse. Like way worse. Way worse. Worse than Chipotle. Yeah, maybe too few of those. Yeah, Chipotle is so much better. Yeah.

Also the first Wendy's store is going to be on the Gold Coast. Yeah, that's a trial market. It's always South East Queensland. And is it going to be just off of like Smith street? It's going to be like the signs are visible from the, from the Gold Coast highway. Yeah. And I'm on their website and instead of the Baconator, it says the Bacon-mater. What?

They're calling it the Bacon-mater. No, like mate. Don't try and talk in a holly language. That's fucking... BAKING-mater. I'm so angry. This phrase has ruined my day. That's horrible.

That is genuinely fucking horrible. Let's get them. I'm gonna burn down a Wendy's. I'm gonna burn down down a Wendy's. Do you got the rare menu Wendy's items? They got like baked potatoes and chili. I got baked potatoes. And we always say always get like the shittest version of whatever American fast food comes over here.

Uh, we're getting, we are not. We're the only sides you get into fries bacon made of fuck you load I can make it loaded fries chili cheese loaded fries cheese loaded fries and a little cardboard cup of chili No Wait drinking that's okay That's it to go chili for sipping Really here in one hand little cup of chili in the other. Pinkies on the steering wheel driving down the M1.

This is from WEHT in Indiana. Oh, the wet? The wet. Sheryl Crowe's Tesla sold at auction in Indiana. Did you say Sheryl Crowe's Tesla? Sheryl Crowe's Tesla. Tesla. That's right.

Yeah. A 2018 Tesla Model 3, which once belonged to singer Sheryl Crow, has been sold in Indiana. It only once belonged, so it's not Sheryl Crow's Tesla. Well, it's not anymore because it's been sold. But was it sold? It was two steps removed from the sale, I believe. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which I mean, once it's something's been owned by Sheryl Crow, it always is.

That's Sheryl Crow's forever? The thing of Sheryl Crow's is Sheryl Crow's forever, as we say. Yeah. Uh, Ray Wayne's auto group from Russellville, Kentucky purchased a Grammy winning artist car for around $24,000. That car? That's a $24,000. That car? $24,000 car. Car won a Grammy?

With the fart horn? In February, Crowe sold the vehicle and donated the proceeds to NPR in protest of Elon Musk's political affiliations. Oh, Cheryl Crowe is an ally. Cheryl Crowe is an ally. To NPR? That much I know NPR for sure put Cheryl Crow in space and then let her come back Yeah, but like on a NASA mission. No, no fucking Jeff Bezos involved. Yeah, I'm still bearish Amazon deal that's what this was. Yeah Yeah, it was a Jeff Bezos flight. Oh, yeah

Yeah, I think that's why I was telling him to get fucked. I think I was like this is making a lot of sense Even though it was a mission of girlbusters in space theoretically very cool Can't criticize that I saw an image of Katy Perry holding a flower in space and singing What a wonderful world and I immediately turned off my computer and walked away I think so I didn't you know I didn't get any of the information outside of that I just saw the her kissing the ground when she came back yeah oh please

shut up that really got to me I was like when William Shatter went to space yeah hopefully we weren't getting more outbreaks like that shut the fuck up. Oh yeah, it made him so miserable. He was like, I can't fucking, I can't forget about it. All I can think about is how fucking tiny everything is.

So you kind of, what's going on with William Shatter where like his nephew or something is writing his social media account and has made him like a 4chan guy? Oh really? Oh no. You see any of this? You heard about this? Yeah, he's posting, not like Pepe's and stuff, but like, he's got a, he's got a four chair nephew or some shit running his socials. He checks out.

But also he's already like a crazy conservative guy. Yeah, he's already, he's already kind of like that. As previously reported, the vehicle had been sitting in Evansville, Indiana at Wolf's Evansville auto auction. Quote, it was kind of politically known that Crow donated it and so on and so forth. And wherever you stand, it's not really a matter of that. What? That's how I feel. I get sound when I talk. When I'm trying to say something smart.

It's amazing. It's kind of politically known that Crow donated it and so on and so forth. And wherever you stand, it's not really a matter of that. Yeah. Yeah. Did he get picked up by a bird mid-sentence? I'm trying to parse that. Kind of got spun around. Spun him around, put him in front of a mic.

Accidentally took two of his medication in the morning because he got confused. Now he's getting brain zaps. Tony Wolf owner of the auction space previously told Nextar's WEHT quote, it's an enthusiast situation of, Hey, I may want to own a piece of history or rare piece of the car or whatever and whatnot. Yeah. So it's really about having fun and you know, seeing what the car may bring. I really relate to this guy, honestly. It's like, imagine you get an interview and then you read your

interview in the newspaper and you're like, fuck! Oh God damn, what the hell? I got my palm cards all mixed up. I just want to read both of those as one log thing. Uh, it was kind of politically known thate donated it and so on and so forth wherever you stand It's not really a matter of that. It's an enthusiast situation of hey I may want to own a piece of history or rare piece of the car or whatever and whatnot So it's really about just having fun and you know, seeing what the car may bring

What the car may bring Somebody help him car may bring. Yeah, seeing what the car may bring. This man is dying. Somebody help him. Can I say something about Evansville, Indiana? Is that where this took place? Please, yes. Oh lordy. When I was in college, I walked into a pizza place for a job called A-Zip Pizza, which

I thought it was, it's like pizza backwards, like A-Zip Pizza. Oh, I thought it was, it's like pizza backwards, like A-zip pizza. I thought it was A-zip pizza. Well, I thought it was gonna be, it's a pizza, like, hey, that's a pizza over there kind of deal. Yeah. I imagine my disappointment, but they gave me a job immediately, which was cool.

And it was like, y'all have pot belly where the conveyor belt creates a sandwich? No. What the fuck are you talking about? What are you talking about? These American excesses have gone too far. I have seen like nothing but American culture, whatever is happening in America for 38 years of my life.

And somehow, There's someone new. There's someone new. It sounds cooler than I described It is there's a conveyor belt that assembles the sandwich No, it could I meant to say it cooks the sandwich So you got a normal human being making the sandwich for you putting the ingredients on it And then they put it on a sort of conveyor belt that goes through an oven and by the time it exits the oven

It's done like a roasted sandwich like a roasted sandwich. Imagine that with a pizza. Like a, um, well, that's what we had at Domino's. Like a shit breakfast that you get at a hotel. Oh, yeah, I guess so. Because it takes seven and a half minutes to go from one end to the other. Yes. Well, it's like 20 seconds of palp alias, so they're like, freaky fast. Wait, that's Jimmy John's. Fuck. Fuck. But wait, what was I saying? Oh, so this company was based out of Evansville,

Indiana, and the owners would say that all the time. Fuck. Yeah. Wait, what was I saying? Oh, so this company was based out of Evansville, Indiana. And the owners would say that all the time. And their specialty pizza that was super popular in Evansville, Indiana was a, imagine a pizza. You with me? Put barbecue sauce as the sauce, like a very sweet barbecue sauce as the sauce. Put cheese on it.

I think it was pulled pork, like barbecue pulled pork all over that shit. All right. And then run it through the oven and then cover it with barbecue potato chips crumpled up. Potato crisps, sorry. Okay. Fucking fantastic. All right. It sounds good.

Okay. I'm listening. You're still with me. Okay, and then the coup de gras is a, it's a soda decoction. It is a, they basically boil down there. Evans, Indiana has some crazy version of Mountain Dew. It's called like super squirt. I don't know what it's called.

I don't remember. It's like a Mountain Dew reduction. It's a Mountain Dew reduction. Yes. A super squirt reduction. It's a Mountain Dew. And then it's kind of drizzled into it. Jesse.

Jesse, you are the Budta Vissa Comedian of the Week! What? The ghost keeps going. Oh it's dying. So they put like a Mountain Jew reduction on that. A Mountain Jew. Yeah. And I think it had Jartanera on it. Sorry. Sometimes that happens. That got me. That one was me after this cold brew. Like the Italian pickles? The little like... Yes. Yeah. Okay. It's like jalapeno peppers in an oil situation. Maybe there's some cauliflower chunks in there and carrots. Kind of a spicy oil thing. Very Chicago. Put it on your hot Polish. I have rapidly lost track of this pizza. I mean it just would turn into like a big pile, a big wet pile. That sounds wet. I was gonna say that sounds wet. It sounds like a wet time.

Okay, so pizza, pizza base, barbecue sauce, pork, cheese, perfect combination. Fantastic. Put some chips on there. I understand. It's not for me, but it adds a little crunch where it would otherwise just be like a wet kind of wet dish. But then we're wetting it again. But then we're wetting it up again. We're re-wetting it. Re-wetting it with a thick, bright green syrup if you can imagine that. Do you know what the soda is? So it's like a it's like an Indiana take on Mountain Dew. I gotta look what this is what was actually called. The American mind is honestly beautiful sometimes.

Yeah I don't think that's the word I'd use to describe it. Just when we're talking about food, nothing else. So who should do? It might as well be called something. It was something very silly like that. The endogenous soda that do what mountain do don't do. Oh, okay. Sorry to derails. I have another story about the pizza place really quick. Don't be sorry. I'm on Sorry. Yeah. So this would be, this is a college town. So people were coming in like wasted all the time or really stoned or whatever to get their big pizzas. Pizza place. To a pizza place.

I know it's, we're, we're a little bit different over here. We like to eat crazy foods after getting intoxicated. And so one time this woman came in and she was like very, very, very, very drunk and she got her pizza order going. But before she finished, she was really thirsty. She goes over to the fountain soda machine. Y'all got those. I know this story.

I know this story. Have I told this to you? Yeah, you probably have. And she grabbed, she tried to grab a water cup, like a free cup that you'd put just water in it if you don't wanna drink soda that day, or if you've done drink your soda. And instead of whatever, if it's lent, if it's good Friday.

And she grabbed one of the Parmesan containers that people like on the table that sprinkle on the pizza. And it was almost empty, but it still had kind of the, you know, the dregs of Parmesan crumblies at the bottom. That's Parmesan for you guys. And she took that and like drunkenly stumbled over to the fountain and unscrewed the top, filled it with water, and then before the person working, it was my friend, was working at this the register could be like, no! She like just chugged a full glass of cold parmesan water and didn't notice actually. And they were like you have to leave and she's like why what did I do?

What did I do wrong? What cheese I'm great is good the best sobriety tests are the ones they don't even know they're taking Yeah, that woman is now our Secretary of State even know they're taking. Yes. That's so fucking true. That's so true. Yeah. That woman is now our Secretary of State. Ray Wayne's auto group had dissipated selling the car on its lot. WEHT was told the dealership did not know it belonged to Crow until the Tesla came down the lane.

All right. What? Until the Tesla came down the lane on its laneway journey. Did it have like a sticker on it that said, I previously belonged to Sheryl Crow? You can just tell, maybe the aura is so strong. Smack some Sheryl Crow. It's the leopard print seats. Does this car feel like Sheryl Crow to you?

Am I thinking of... I think you're thinking of Shania Klein. Shania Klein. That's a mistake to make, honestly. Yes. Yeah. Except, you know, who donated money to NPR when she got rid of her Tesla.

Yeah. But she also kind of like, she did my buddy, Kevin Gilbert, pretty bad. So still a bit sour on that. Oh yeah, okay. Still when she wronged Kevin Gilbert. Yeah. Well, that she wronged Kevin Gilbert. Yeah.

Well, that sounds like something you may have to work through. We help people work through things in Paging Dr. Lucy. This comes to us from r slash ask women. What's the best way to break the ice when meeting new people for the first time? So I just thought, um, this would just be a good conversation point for maybe us to talk about that and sort of provide some helpful suggestions, because I know everyone here is really socially competent. Answer number one here, observe your environment, make an observation, none political or religious, that the person might also share.

Give them two examples here. Wow. They've spelt wo-W-H-A-O. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Well, the weather is so nice. I wish I could be outside. I don't know if that's an icebreaker. Yeah. I wish I could be outside. I don't know if that's an icebreaker. Yeah. I wish I could leave. Yeah.

Also, it's 12.30 at night as well. Okay. Well, how about this one? The restaurant smells great. I'm really looking forward to dinner here. What? In what, what is the setup? How?

Like you're both already at the restaurant. Have you sat down at her table? I can't wait to eat at this place where I am. Honestly, this is how neurotypical people sound to me. Some Grand Theft Auto NPC conversations. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Have you tried starting a conversation about something real?

Deep. Yeah. I want to talk about space and poetry. Yeah. I want to talk about Carl Sagan and- Yes. Pale blue dot, you know? Pale blue dot, yeah.

Let's be real for once in our lives. If anyone ever shares any of those fucking posts You should be able to slap them once very hard in the face to be like don't Don't do that again You sound horrible These observations established the two of you have a similar outlook Like nice weather and you're excited to eat dinner. After this exchange, I share something about myself and ask them about themselves.

The thing I just shares. There's paired follow-ups for each of the previous ones. I love going hiking in weather like this. Do you ever hike? Yeah. It's sunny outside. You say I love sunny weather. I love going hiking in sunny weather.

Do you hike? Bam. Instant friendship, instant chemistry. This one, I've never been to this restaurant before. Have you? Are you just talking about like how to, how to form sentences? Like, yeah. Yes.

How does this? It's like a guide to conversation written by an autistic person who has studied non-autistic people. It's like, ah, and then sometimes they say this. Yeah. They've like built up a, like a yes, no style information system flow chart. Yeah. Yeah.

They've built an expert system for doing a date. Hiking. Like, yeah. And if they say back to you, Oh, I also like hiking. Make sure to keep talking about that. Don't just stop that cold. You're going to want to keep going. You can't just say good.

Yeah. Yeah. Huh? Have you had the food here before? I had the food here before. By sharing something about yourself, the questions seem less intrusive. That is true. This is definitely someone who has learned these rules by rote. Yeah.

Yeah. Lucy, how does that feel? Yeah. Look, I've got a system. Yeah. Cause, how does that feel? Yeah, look. You're great at it. I've got a system. Yeah. Cause I've got a system. I've got a system.

You've met so many new people over the last couple of weeks and you've been like effortlessly normal. That's incredible. You wouldn't even know. That's cause they're all cool people. But when I meet other people that aren't that cool, I have a system, which works great until someone goes off script and then it's like, ah, I can't do, um, other people's like social awkwardness will make me spiral out of control immediately.

Like if I'm, you just see, you just don't seem like you see, you seem like we were just talking, uh, when I went to all my friends the other day who had previously you'd come around to my house and they'd come around to my house and they were like, Oh, Ben, he's, he's so good at conversation. Just came down, like joined him with what we're saying. And then my friend was saying something else. And like, they just talked about that for half an hour, just effortless, just, just a wonderful conversationalist.

They were saying. That's unbelievably lovely. Yeah, so get that in your ears, dipshit. You're gonna have to add a joke or something onto that to make it worthwhile for being in the podcast, but thank you so much. Here's another response here. As someone who hates small talk, I like to ask about places people have traveled to and how they felt about it. Oh, you hate small talk, do you? That's so interesting. It's so interesting that you hate small talk. Have you been to China too? to ask about places people have traveled to and how they felt about it. I didn't share my own experiences. That's so interesting. It's so interesting that you hate small talk.

How is it? Yeah. How did it make you feel? Can you give me a quick brief on India? Uh, and one, one last one here. Besides commenting on their hair or clothes that you like, my three main questions for new people are favorite food, favorite color and favorite musicians. You're asking another adult their favorite color?

Don't do that. Don't do that. You're like you're at a friend's 40th and you're meeting some of their other friends you've never met before. You're like, hey, how you doing? Yeah, Ben. Oh, lovely to meet you. What's your favorite color? Green.

Green, I guess. Green is tight. Green is tight. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Hell yeah. That's what's up, dude. You guys seen yellow though recently? Yellow goes crazy. Do you see the 2019 Pantone color of the year?

Yeah. Out of control. Hey, I've got it on my phone. I would be, hold on, hold on. I can't find it. No, that's last year's. Fuck his wife. I was dropping it out.

So it's not working. Fuck. Oh, it's just giving me the AI summary. What is the- No, 2019 was living coral. Living coral. Nice. That's nice.

Yeah. That's a nice color. What is the- Living coral. Living coral. Right. Oh, nice. That's nice. Yeah.

What is the living core? Um, like the impetus for these people who are clearly, this is not their area of expertise, let's say. Yes. But they're offering advice to other people about it. Yeah. As an expert, as a, oh, well, you know, this might help. I think I will actually gently push back on that because clearly the person who

has to ask, it doesn't feel intuitive or normal to them. Sure. No, I look and hey, among us, probably three of us completely understand that. And you're a natural conversationalist. So, but like also for the people for whom this is natural, they don't have, they don't have the language to articulate what they're doing when they do normal pleasantries. Yeah.

To go like, oh, you need a system? Yeah. Cause they just go and I asked them how their day was and they said something about their work and I was like, oh shit, yeah, I remember you said this last time. Is that still true? Does that bitch still work there? What do you do there? Oh, that sounds hard.

Yeah. The first thing you have to do as like a 30 something year old is just try and remember last time, is that still true? Does that bitch still work there? What do you do there? Oh, that sounds hard. Yeah. The first thing you have to do as like a 30 something year old is just try and remember what your friend does because their work is so amorphous that you're like... Yeah, especially when it's a friend you've known for like five years and it's like, oh, how's the job you do? And you pick it up from context clues. Yeah. I reckon I have like five friends with interesting jobs, but like there's lots to ask about what they've been doing.

Yeah, that's good. And then everyone else you're like, oh, sorry, a lot of emails, this queue. And then friends ask you and they're like, how's the podcast? And you say, yeah, pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. And then they say, oh, I'm so sorry. I haven't really like, I just haven't really had time to listen to it. I haven't really like I just haven't really a time I've really caught up for it. Yeah, really caught up with the world and then I say you don't have to listen to the podcast It's actually better if you don't. Yeah, do your friends feel pressured to do that often? Yeah Often feel the need to like apologize for not listening to it. Absolutely Literally don't like you're gonna know if they if they didn't I don't know like

Like that they feel sorry because they're not like Putting into like supporting our interests or whatever right, but it's like really really don't gotta Yeah, it's like I barely know what your job is. Yeah Be sure getting really mad at them about it and turn the tables on them. You're like, why the fuck haven't you? What's taking, what, you don't have 20 minutes? This podcast is my life. Oh, it's just my, that's just the way I make my living to express myself. But okay, that's fine.

It's two, two and a half hours a week. Like out of your week. Oh, you don't have time to close it a week. Couple of hours. Couple of hours. Yeah. Why are you doing the dishes? You're doing the vacuuming. You're mowing the lawn.

Come on! You've got so much time. Sorry, I see your name on that Patreon subscriber list. Yeah, I guess you can get beers tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Might be a bit empty. You can support me in other ways.

It's so bad because you know, this is people experiencing real pain in a very like upsetting way. It's not funny. It's just people that haven't had sex in their marriage for like five years or more.

Not Reddit. This is from WABC in New York. Mystery object falls from sky in New Jersey damaging auto shop. Okay. Yeah. Classic New Jersey shit. Yeah. Totally.

And it fell on an auto shop you reckon? Yeah. In New Jersey? You reckon a bunch of guys went, oh! Come on. My auto shop. That's a great New Jersey. In the small town of Magnolia, New Jersey, there's a lot of talk about a giant boom heard early Wednesday morning.

That's what everyone's talking about. Yeah. That giant boom in New Jersey. You guys hear the boom? You guys? You guys hear that boom the other night? Come on. What was that?

You guys hear that boom last night? Joey said the boom was loud as fuck. Sorry. Trying to perfect mine. I don't know if that's New York or New Jersey. It doesn't really matter. Yeah. I feel like you're even moving slightly further north. Who can say? Boom.

Around 2 30 a.m. Wednesday residents were woken up by the sound when Sebastian Leonardo arrived at his auto body shop later that morning. Come on. Come on. Hey, Sebastian. What are you doing? You can do the boom. What the fuck is this? Some kind of boom?

My wife, she says, she looks at me, she says, I've never seen a boom like that ever in Hoboken, ever. Please don't kill me if you're from New Jersey. Genuinely one of the states I'm afraid of. Look, you wrote an Australian podcast. We're allowed to be with like a 10 state radius of the right state when we're trying to, trying to get these accents. We sound like we're from Indiana. We're closer than we've ever been.

Can you do a Chicago accent? No, not at all. I think you got this. I feel like Lucy might have this from living with maybe your mom's got one. You don't have it. You don't have it, but I can recognize it. They really hitting those a's. There's different types.

Give me an example Chicagoan sentence like, oh, gee, the frickin' Cubs this weekend or whatever they got. Sure. I'm going to do what the classic older guy from Chicago. There's a really good YouTube channel about botany called Crime Pays, but Botany doesn't. Great channel about botany called Crime Pays but Botany doesn't. Great channel about plants but the guy who runs it has like a very like Chicago they say like get a hot Polish and put the frickin' Jardinier on there and get a bag. Shopping bag. Bag, that's the one. Bag. Put it in your shopping bag, shake it around. Big bag. But there's

a there's different types there's more types. There's more like, uh, I say trash cans sometimes. Yeah. Trash candy bar. Cause it sounds like it's got a little bit of like that, um, you're closing your mouth towards the end of the sound, like a Minnesota accent, Minnesota. Absolutely. Yeah. So it's sort of closing off somewhat.

Absolutely. It's approaching that. Um, yeah. And as you go further north, they're, they're do more like a, Oh, yeah. Type shit. I can't do that one very well. What a beautiful country. It is really cool. I love it so much to live here and be here. Thank you so much. Nothing bad happens to it. There's so much cool shit there. Beautiful people. No, it's so good here. Beautiful foods, beautiful stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. When Sebastian Leonardo arrived to his auto body shop later that morning, you noticed John Holden the sealant. When employees climbed up to look at the damage to the roof of the ceiling, they saw when the unidentified object had made impact. Quite a sizable dent in a thick steel gauge box. That's what I went to all of my cameras and I found the video and I realized what had actually happened, a flash outside and the impact in here, Leonardo said.

So sort of flash. So a flash in the sky. Yeah. So a sizable hole, sizable dent. Yeah. Okay. So something's come through. Surveillance footage from cameras in and outside of S and L automotive

shows the moment something collided with the building. You eventually see a giant fireball come through the ceiling and everything comes flying down the roof with it, Leonardo said. What the fuck? Yeah, he got a fireball on camera in his auto shop. That's very crazy. Oh, what's the town called? What's the town called?

Uh, they're in Magnolia, New Jersey. Magnolia. Magnolia. Beautiful name. Because I always forget that New Jersey, I just think about, you know, Jersey City, right? Hoboken. I forget it goes all the way down to fucking Atlantic City and stuff, right? Well, yeah.

Famously Atlantic City. Famously Atlantic City. I'd go down to Atlantic City, gonna play some roulette, go crazy. Get assassinated under the boardwalk because I oh guy What I was trying to work out though is like, okay, so small town I think in Australia small town you've got like a highway going in one end You've got the highway going in the other end you got Trees and grass and shit and then building stuff. Yeah, but

There's like no room for that in Yeah. But there's like no room for that in like most of America. So I've just looked at Magnolia and it's just like a circle drawn in a bunch of houses. Like there's houses in every direction and like the New Jersey Turnpike is like just there. And then they've just circled around some of the houses and they've said, this is a town. Yeah, I think there's like, a lot of America has places where they're like, yes, this is a town or whatever, but it has been surrounded by like the nearest big city. Yeah.

Like the Sprawl has just kind of got them. So this is close to Philly. Yeah, because this Sprawl, like there is uninterrupted city from here to Boston. Yeah. Like all in a big long line. Yes. And the country, the sprawl, the sprawl, the future sprawl. Megalopolis one. Kind of like a neon, like an American neon.

Yeah. Boston to New Jersey. Boston line. The thick blue line. Get out of here. The thick blue line. Several doorbell cameras at homes around town captured video of the incident. Quote, there's a bright flash. There's a boom. There's a hole.

That's three out of four things. What? Yeah. Flash boom hole. Flash boom hole. What's the fourth thing? I think the fourth thing is the thing itself is the object. Yeah. Flash, boom, hole. Flash, boom, hole. What's the fourth thing? I think the fourth thing is the thing itself is the object. Yeah.

Whoa. Yeah. If we had one more thing, like an item we could identify as being extraterrestrial, then we might say it's something from space. Astronomer Derek Pitts of the Franklin Institute said. Thank you, Derek. They don't have the fucking thing. Thanks. I'm glad you went to fucking astronomy school for four years to say that, Derek.

If we had the fucking object here, we could say whether or not this was for space, but we don't. Don't know what kind of astronomy they're teaching at the fucking University of New Jersey. Unge? Unge. Oh, it unge? So they don't have it.

It crashed into his auto shop. And it's gone? And it's gone. So you fucking tell me. I guess if it was just a fireball. I think it got up and walked away. I think it fucking. Oh, it's an alien.

I think it's a man of some kind. I think it's a nude man. I think it's a nude man. And he's walking around doing star man stuff where he's like picking up objects and turning I think it's a nude man. I think it's a nude man. He's walking around doing star man stuff where he's like picking up objects and turning around in his hand and going, what is this? What is love? And then a bunch of guys from New Jersey are beating him to death.

He picked the wrong place to land. Yeah. You better frickin' get back to space real quick. You're gonna fuckin' beat your ass. What is baseball about? And then a kindly dino waitress teaches him how to put on pants It helps him fix his spacecraft Sexy et

So wasn't like when doesn't there a thing when planes accidentally release their septic contents It turns out like a frozen ball of turds and crashes through I guess it's really leave turd their septic contents, it turns into like a frozen ball of turds and crashes through. Yeah. It happens like constantly. But I guess we would leave turd. I would leave big rows. Yeah, it's not like the turds like flashed to steam and evaporated leaving no trace. There would still be like, there'd still be like turd grease.

Envy? Yeah. No idea. Yeah, no one watched that movie, I don't think. Yeah. I think Sebastian's got, he's hiding something. He's got whatever came through there. Yeah think Sebastian's got, he's hiding something. He's got whatever came through there. Yeah, he's got the fourth thing.

He's got that man. That means it is basement. Oh no. Can I please have another submarine sandwich? Valdega? Tell me who's going to win the fucking Super Bowl. Who is the Prince of New Jersey? May I meet him?

We can talk to find out what he knows. Wait, so they really don't know what it is? What the fuck? Yeah, they don't know where it's gone.

It was like a big cube or something and we don't have it. I think it was a cube. Yeah. Oh fuck, it might be like an Animorphs cube. Yo. Yeah. Shit. This guy's turning into a freaking,

he's turning into a werewolf. No, that's not an animal. He's turning into a wolf with the Animorphs cube. Theo, you never watched or read Animorphs? I know the cover where they turn from one thing to another. I also know that there is like an enormous amount of law behind it. And, and like, and yeah, the authors like, well, you know, they actually go to war and stuff and they die and nothing resolves.

Cause that's not, that's, that's how real life is. But also I feel like people aren't turning into a Jaguar in real life as well. Not often. Not that I am aware of. Except to some of our listeners. Yeah. I feel like people aren't turning into a Jaguar in real life as well. Not often. Not, not that I am aware of. Yeah. Except to some of our listeners.

Yeah. One man tried and he became the demon Masupalami. Is a failed animal. Someone's got a Masupalami furry. Yeah. Furry suit. Yeah. Furry alter ego.

Masupilami furry. A man tried to turn himself into a leopard and he fucking turned out Belgian. Now he's stuck like that. That's the worst way it could have possibly gone. Belgian! The good news is that Costumplast in Germany, which does costumes for Carnival, Halloween and Moto Parties, has a Masupilami costume for adults for just 65 euros. I didn't know Masupilami was so global.

People getting railed in that Masupilami costume. Like it? Well you have to cut a hole in it. Cut a hole in the back. In the Masupial army costume? I could. We'd have to cut a hole in it. Cut a hole in the back, yeah. In the marsupial army costume. Yeah. To get railed in a marsupial army costume in a sundress.

Is that how we're talking? Does marsupial army ever wear a sundress? Did you have marsupial army, Jesse? I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Do you know what I'm just saying? This is going to be bad for, yeah. You know the guy who's catchphrase was, hooba? Hooba.

Well, he definitely wasn't in Belgian flora, from what I can tell. I don't know, I'm not a... He's got a wife. He's got a wife. He's got a wife?

He's gotta be in the Congo. I saw him with a great ape. I'm worried he's in the Congo. Marsupial army habitat. This is good parkour.

Witnessing crimes against humanity in a cobalt mine. Oh shit. I don't know if I already knew this or not, but a marsupial army is a monotreme. Oh. Oh. One hole. Fucking wild. One hole. That's crazy. That's specifix? Yeah. Oh One whole one one whole Yeah according to

I'll give him a second kill that guy I thought this is gonna be a salami situation

Super army Salami situation Superlami SNL was hard at work Friday, but planned to spend the weekend combing through debris and sharing their big bang theory Hmm Yeah, okay Quote this is really a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I imagine leonardo said I guess. I feel like you guys have a bigger sense of urgency about there being like an object from space somewhere in like-

Okay, it's in your roof? Yeah. Wouldn't you want to find the thing? Or have you got the thing and he's in the basement and he's trying to eat soup with his hands because he doesn't understand it. Yeah. He's definitely to eat soup with his hands because he doesn't like it. Yeah He's definitely locked up Okay, okay, okay, sorry to interrupt and derail here, but I found the name of the soda I think oh yeah on that pizza

Thank God that is the pizza is known as the West cider. It has barbecue mozzarella pork Onion grippos, which I think is the chip that's mozzarella pork onion grippos which I think is the chip that's all about grippos y'all got grippos down there but we know it from our studies of the American oh from your scholarly activities the soda is called ski which is kind of not that exciting just like it like a ski like the snow skis so it's a citrus soda made from orange and lemon juice Joe seems like I like LNP situation. It looks pretty good. Yeah. It is pretty good. It's just Mountain Dew, but yeah. Pretty stacked cast on my super Lime. You got Dan Castanella.

Etta is the elephant. Dan Castanella. What am I saying? I don't know if you're adding it in. Castellanetta. Castellanetta the whole time. Isn't that funny? You've got Jim Cummings, three roles. For Jim. Winnie the Pooh.

You've got Tress McNeil in the mix as the wife. We love Tress McNeil in the mix as the wife. Oh, fuck yeah, we love Triss McNeil. And Frank Welker is meat. A role that seems specially made for Frank Welker. Meat. Alright, meat. Ah, hey. Talking about shit from your childhood a lot.

That's something Gen X people do. It's time for Gen X watch. Sometimes people, sometimes we get a little bit of criticism that the show kind of, it comes across a bit mean. Like whenever we're talking about stuff, we're sort of making fun of people. So I thought maybe I would try and take a different tack with this one and just celebrate something beautiful, which is that, you know, sometimes nostalgia can be very powerful, be very nice, especially as you get older, you start to sort of, you understand the value of wistfully looking back on these things.

And, you know, who does wistfully looking back better than Gen X? I have two answers to a question posted on r slash Gen X. The question was what songs immediately take you back to a specific time and place? Oh, this is going to be good. Yeah. So it's the first answer here. Many, many, many really. Well, yeah, obviously. Yep. Cause that's kind of how memory and stuff works. Yeah, there's a fair bit of room in there. Yeah. One that stands out is the Pet Shop

Boys West End Girls playing at a house party in my hometown. First party crush type of deal we kissed, second base floated home at the end of the night. That's nice. Soundtracked by West End Girls, that bass line, hearing that through a wall in the other room while you're like... Is second base a handjob? Is that just touching the titties? Is that just touching the titties? It's just touching the titties.

I think these days... General over-the-clothes fondling, yes. Okay, so third... Third fingering, right? Or handjob. But then where does that leave... Where does that leave the aural? over the clothes fondling yes yeah or hand job where does that leave the oral? or does that just count as third everything that doesn't encompass

i think these days we had a shift to me i don't know i haven't looked this up i'm not talking to the relevant authorities the great oral shift? i think we've got first base kissing second base hand stuff third third base mouth stuff, fourth base maybe not necessarily penetrative intercourse because we don't know, but whatever feels like sex to you.

But where is touching the titties over the clothes then? I think we just include that in the first. Is that just in first? Do you think that's part of first? That's lumped in, yeah. You're right. Where does the shortstop stand? Is he halfway between second and third?

Third and fourth. You're asking the wrong guy. Second and third. You've got the wrong guess for this. I think the shortstop is maybe, we could go first base kissing, second base, touching the titty, shortstop, hand stuff.

Yeah. Third base, hand stuff, survey, mouth stuff. Yeah. Just in what, in what circumstance are you just doing hand stuff, but not oral stuff? We used to make fun of one of my friends because he went on like a bunch of first dates that only concluded in hand stuff, which is obviously not, it's not, that's not a bad thing that could be mutually pleasurable time for everyone. But like, it was like a year of that where it was just always just hand stuff. That's actually really fun. Oh, year of the hand?

Yeah. Year of the hand. Uh, maybe I'll be, I don't know. Lucy, it's ****. We called him hand stuff for a while because he had. Wow. And you know. I wouldn't share that with my friends personally.

Oh, he's an open book. Showing up being like, well, another hand job. Yeah, well, just think about it, that's not a bad time. A lot of skill can go into a hand job, you know, that's, if anything, it's more precise. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of control over the action. It has to be, yeah.

It's got to be dolled in or a cowlip hat. It's gotta be Dole Dinner or a Coward's Barrel. Gen Z listeners. Because they don't do hand stuff anymore? Or they don't have sex? I think they only do hand stuff. I think hand stuff is fourth base. Yeah. Yeah. That's right.

Putting down their damn phones fonts is first base. Yeah, they don't do any hand stuff. We're actually big population decline people now. Yeah, that's right. You're actually fucking... And they're only doing hand stuff. Hey, if you're young and you're listening stuff. You have to put down the device. We're actually big population decline people now. Yeah, that's right. You can't just be fucking, hey, if you're young and you're listening to this, get out there and fuck! Yeah. Not if you're too young.

Yeah, no. Well, no one too young is listening to this podcast. It's gonna be boring as shit. Yeah, it'd be so fucking boring. Old people complaining? Do you ever wonder who is your, what's youngest and I was not of all time. Yes Deeply wonder now you never had like a 99 year old listening to it while they're on the If you think you're either our youngest or oldest listener, I would love to hear from you Yeah, a hundred percent and if you come in you like I'm 22. That's not you're not in the ballpark. Yeah, that's not it There's gotta be younger than that. Yeah

You're not in the ballpark. Yeah, that's not it. There's gotta be younger than that. Yeah Boss baby, but I will say if you're like under 16 don't contact us because that is also true. Yeah Mine is DNA. Honestly, if you're 18 and you listen to this I would be fucking stunned Yeah, let us know and if you're 80 and you listen to this tell me about your life Give me a whole fucking story. I want a long, long email. I'll tell you what, you email me with your phone number. I'll call you and we'll just have a long chat. We'll both sit somewhere comfy. I want to know everything. I want to know what you've done, where you've worked. Tell me about old flames. Tell me about your new passions. This is crazy. This really ties into the episode of the good doctor, the good

doctor that me and Lucy watched for this week's episode of Savant Card. In terms of a young man speaking to an older man about the end of his, uh, about the end of his life. And I'm just, no, just spoilers. It ends with the young man, mercy killing the older man. So maybe it's not as Sean killer guy. Oh no, Jared kills a guy. Jared, come on Jared. Yeah. Jared racks a shotgun and just finishes it off.

Pulls out a samurai sword. Close your eyes. Another answer here. Now I have... They said what the song was at the start, but I've decided to tell you what the end, cause I want them to set the scene for you. And then I want to tell you what the song is. I hear it. And for a moment, it's 1998. I've just scored a promotion.

It got me out of the prison and down to the parole office. It took me about, it took about 30 miles off my commute to the office and came with a series of razors. I was the only state parole officer for Montague County, Texas. And I'm driving up a narrow two-lane blacktop road into St. Joe and I'm only 26. Now that song was Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Yeah. I! Fuck yeah. I was like 1998. What have we got? Holy fuck.

Can you imagine? You're 26 years old. You now are no longer a prison guard. You're a parole officer. And you're putting on Iris by the... No, sorry. Not putting it on. It's coming on the radio.

It's on the radio. Maybe a tape. And you're building that down? Absolutely. You don't want the world to see you. So you don't think that they'd understand. You don't think they'd understand. Oh, is that Iris? I was doing the one where he's like, so why don't you slide? No, that's slide. Yo, that makes so much freaking sense. That's my bad.

This is the, when everything's made to be broken one. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. City of Angels. City of Angels. Yeah. He's looking at them through the telescopes up there in his little... He's dead.

... in his weird room. City of Angels, which is a remake of Wings of Desire, the unbelievably beautiful Vin Venter's movie with Bruno Gantz. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's fucking great. It is a tremendous movie. It's also got fucking, oh god, what's his name, Columbo. Yeah, Peter Settlers. Peter Falk.

Peter, yes. Peter Falk as a former angel who's chosen the human life, but the life that he's living is basically that of Peter Falk. He's more or less playing himself and it is, Oh Christ, you gotta watch Wings of Desire by Vim Vanders. Change your life. Yeah. All right. You got to watch Michael 1996. A lot of movies with like angels and shit in them in the 90s. So many angels.

So many, yeah. And we had the show, we had Touched by an Angel. Oh yeah. Angels in the Outfield. Yeah. Angels in the Outfield. Angels in the Outfield, that's right. There was that show that was briefly on, it replaced like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and it was a guy who died from eating a bad cheeseburger and became an angel and was like helping his friend or whatever. Oh.

Oh wait, that sounds familiar. What was that? Angel cheeseburger death TV show. That'll get me that right. Teen angel. Teen angel. Naughty. We're off the beaten track. Yeah.

Teen angel follows a high school boy, Steve Bochamp, Corbin Allred, and his recently deceased best friend, Marty DePolo, made by Mike Damis, who dies from a foodborne illness after eating a six-month-old hamburger. And he's then sent back to Earth as Steve's guardian angel. Wow. One season, 17 episodes. Fuck. Yeah.

So I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not watching the shows. It's not been a problem for me at all. You're putting in little clips and stuff. So I know what you're talking about. It's great. Also, generally just a good, it's nice to hear two very funny people talking very frankly about mental illnesses and stuff as well. So it's cool.

You get to hear all my weird stories of things I've been afraid of in my life, which is- Oh, Jesse's like psycho. It's been nice. Jesse's fucking crazy, dog. He's fucking crazy, dog. He's fucking crazy. They used to call me loco for a reason, dude. This man has believed some crazy things about what's going to happen to him in his life. That's- ain't that the truth?
