Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Hello and welcome to Vista, episode 394. I'm Ben and I'm a contestant on Come Dine With Me Cunt Brickshare. Looking at the way I dress and have decorated my house, it's impossible to tell whether it's taking place in 2003 or 2018, but it is possible to tell that I'm a complete prick. I work in real estate and a fun fact about me that I think will really surprise my guests is that I'm actually a full-blooded racist. Now, I'm not a professional cook, but I do consider myself something of a wizard in the kitchen. For my starter, I'm offering up Cuntbrookshire-style
Starting point is 00:01:00 pigeon meat roulettes paired with some wine I made in my toilet. For the main, I've scooped out the insides of some capsicums and stuffed them with the insides I took out of a different set of capsicums. I've put that in the oven for 25 hours because I got the day wrong and I'd already started the process, so I thought I might as well keep it going. And for pudding, it'll be a gun. Now obviously the food speaks for itself. The only thing that could possibly spoil the night is the conversation. I guess that depends on the other contestants.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Also with me is Lucy, a Cuntbrikshire native who's the senior partner at a homophobic accounting firm. Lucy, what would you say is the most interesting thing about you? Oh, the most interesting thing about me? Sorry, I was distracted. The pudding's quite good. I will say that. Oh, you are enjoying the pudding?
Starting point is 00:01:45 I'm going to rate you poorly because I don't like you on a personal level. Yes. You have said a number of horrible things about me, to me, throughout the evening and I haven't even seen the little asides that you've been shooting the whole time when you are not in the room. Oh yeah, I've been saying like horrible shit about you on the camera in the other room, but I did say that the pudding was quite good. Yes, and I appreciate that. You did call me a low IQ freak to my face several times.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I did call you that, but I hope that that won't affect how you judge when you come to my place later in the week. I'm going to rate you so low you kill yourself on TV. I love Come Dine With Me. Been watching a bit of Come Dine With Me there, Ben? Well, I think you might have noticed from the fact that you're in our house while Maddie and I were in our Come Dine With Me era. There is so frequently Come Dine With Me on the TV in the lounge room.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Because we have the Come Dine With Me channel. You've got the Come Dine With Me channel, which is great. And it is always pleasant to watch Come Dine With Me. It's just not really mentally taxing, except for some episodes where it's so uncomfortable that it activates my fight or flight response. Yes, but it is timeless. It's like stepping into a, and when I say timeless, I mean that you don't know what time it is taking place in.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's impossible. It's so weird. There are side fringes, peplum tops, pinstripe shirts on guys. It could have been last week. It could have been 2007. You don't know. Fucking insane. You have to kind of judge on the quality of the footage, but you'll look at people and you'd be like 2004 and then they'll reference something that happened in like
Starting point is 00:03:16 2011, you'd be like, ah, these people are... Well, I think the thing that gets them on there is that they're not already famous and they are filtering for freaks who will like hate each other. Yes. So it's just somewhere in between. We watched an episode yesterday where it was like they were all quite wealthy and they all got along really well and it was so much worse. Oh, that's so boring.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Like two of them were just flirting with each other for the entire episode in a way where they were just, it was barely even innuendo. It was just like, oh, I might fuck you after this. How often do you think the contestants fuck? Cause I think it's frequently. Oh, all the time. What if they called it, come fuck with me? Come fuck with me.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Now we're talking. What about come, come with me? Wait, who is that voice? Oh, that's Andrew. Mark with me, now we're talking. Yes! What about come, come with me? Wait, who is that voice? Oh, that's Andrew, the local horse executioner. Andrew, what's the most interesting thing about you? Uh, the number of horses I execute. It's stunning.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Is it a lot? I can tell you the number and you'll just sort of go, oh, that's interesting, but until you have executed a horse, you don't understand. Yeah. When I've heard that many winnies in a day, final winnies. Also horses big, you know, and a lot of them, they, they kind of get the sense. They can smell like the terror in the specialized horse abattoir that I work in, they're noticing that the other horses aren't coming back out, you know? So there's resistance, there's
Starting point is 00:04:50 strong resistance, they're very loud, they don't want to be in there, and then you know what? Once you've killed a horse, try moving it. So so honestly I do have the Contriction record Come on, let's execute Yeah, come picture record for us executions, but does it get me any more dates I? Wish we I don't want to give it away Too much, but I was just watching an episode of come down with me before we started recording because Maddie had it on the living Room and would you say that you're you're pulling back the curtain right now? Oh, I think I might be pulling back the curtain a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:29 But I'm closing again. That was the, that was the peep, the little peep that you got. Well, the episode, they always have a bit where while the hosts are cooking the meal, everyone else just pokes through their belongings, like goes up in their bedroom and starts going through their shit. Oh, take that poster. Yeah. I remember them. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And then they speculate about the person. But in this one, they went upstairs into the couple's study and found what was very clearly a very large box of horse ashes from one of their deceased horses. And the guy is like trying to open the lid and he's like trying to pick it up. And then like, when it comes to dinner, he's like cracking jokes about the box of horse ashes that he found. I would hate if someone came to my house and crack jokes about my horse ashes. I think just like have a little bit of fucking respect.
Starting point is 00:06:23 If you see someone's horse ashes, maybe leave that. You don't't have to riff about everything come to dinner and be like dead horse much. Yeah One of your horses up there seem pretty unresponsive Open the lid up and prodded it a little bit. I tried riding him. He didn't he didn't really No, it didn't wasn't giving me much. Oh, that's a good gag You come back down the stairs and you're riding the box of horse ashes. I'm riding your horse. Whoa, big fella. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:06:51 You drop it, spills everywhere, everyone's choking on the ashes. That's good gear. Yeah. Do you think Americans probably don't, they probably don't know about Come Dime with Me. So it's something we have to explain. Come Dime with Me. You gotta watch Come Dime, at least the episode with the, you've won Jane. Just search you've won Jane on YouTube. Oh, is that the one where the guy like cracks the shits?
Starting point is 00:07:12 He absolutely loses it, but you've got to watch the entire episode for the context as well. I guess maybe as quick as possible, the concept is that they take half a dozen local suburban British people. It's about six? Four. Four. Four is pretty close to six. Unless it's a couple and then a couple of, so then there's more, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Right, right. So they take a small group of like local British suburban people. Really middle Britain people too. They're all real nobodies. Yeah. And then they each go to each other's house, they cook dinner for the rest of the group. Everybody rates the person who made the food's food often, as Ben inferred,
Starting point is 00:07:55 often based on their interpersonal interactions with the person as opposed to the quality of food. It's really funny when you see somebody who fancies themselves like a good cook and then they are tasting something of someone else's and everybody else goes, oh, that was dead lovely. I like that. And they're like, no, no, it was fucking disgusting. They got it. Yeah, they're on the camera like it was dry.
Starting point is 00:08:20 The chicken was dry. Chicken was dry. Oh, I don't even know if I can eat this. Oh, I'm choking on this dry chicken. Does anybody have anything moist like what I cooked? To wash this chicken down. What I've been enjoying is that they, so they get, they're showing the menu before they go to the house as well. And they always have these little cutaway shots of them responding to what they're reading and like, no one in Britain likes anything.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Like regardless of- Yeah, they're all like, oh, that's a bit weird. Yeah. Or I don't usually like pork or I don't usually eat cake. And then in the after the wrap-up interview, they'll be like, well, I don't usually like cake, but I liked this cake. Every time. You just like saying that you don't like things.
Starting point is 00:09:04 People fucking love complaining. I think they just love complaining. like cake, but I liked this cake. You're just like saying that you don't like things. People fucking love complaining. But I think they just love complaining. I also love how everyone seems to be making a dish they've never made for the first time in their life. They've had to buy a blender to make pesto, which they've just found out exists. And then someone reads the menu, they're like, oh, what's pesto? I think it's a type of fish. I fucking love watching them all plate up their food.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Yeah. That to me, yeah. Slopping, slopping onto the plates and like they've all got the nastiest like Tesco collection crockery from 2001 that you've ever seen. A lot of square plates even come down with me, like an overwhelming number of square plates. Like the 2008 style square plate. Yeah, but it could be from any time. Could be. They're always putting shit inside capsicums or inside, like they're hollowing something out.
Starting point is 00:09:55 They really are stuffing capsicums a lot. Yeah. I guess that was the style at the time. Also it's a show for evil gays by evil gays. Like the narrator is a cunt and that's kind of the game of the show is that he's a posh evil gay who's ripping these people to fucking shreds.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Yeah, the whole time he's like, I don't know about that while they're doing something on the footage. Like they will shoot thousands of hours of footage and wait for someone to do something weird or fuck up. And then the narrator is like, oh, I don't think that was a terribly good idea. It fucking rules. There's also always at least one evil gay in the episode.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yes. Except there's like a time cut off where whatever year they reach, they'll mention that they're gay or before they won't. Where it's like, well, James is a ladies man. And then you go to his home and it's like framed photos of Abba on every wall. He's like listening to Dancing Queen when they walk in. He's like, oh, I'm single at the moment. You're like, all right, come on. Stuffing those capsicums.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Wonderful program. Hosting a dinner party. Stuffing those capsicums. Wonderful program. Hosting a dinner party. That's a lot of work. Sometimes it's easier to just meet your friend at a bar. We talk about bars in Barwatch. This comes to us from KPNX in Arizona. The PNX. Lucy, you're back.
Starting point is 00:11:27 You're back on the train. Had a little break. We'll come back to it. A bar in Tempe, that's how we say that, right? Tempe, Arizona? Sure. Yeah. Bar in Tempe appears to compare underage drinking bus to 911 on t-shirts posted on social media.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yes. I bet the shirt is so good. is to compare underage drinking bus to 9-11 on t-shirts posted on social media. Yes. I'm now a little context for our UK listeners or European listeners or Australian listeners or basically anywhere in the world, I think Canadian listeners as well anywhere in the world, except the United States of America. Underage means, um, under 21. Yeah. It means kind of an adult, but not an adult enough. Yeah. Like you're like a fully grown, like you can drive, you can do like all the stuff. You probably have your own place, like all this, but you, you have seven guns.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yes. You have more guns than anyone can possibly imagine, but you can't get a beer at a bar because you're 20 years old. Isn't Canada's age like weird? Is it like 19 or 20 or something? It'd be funny for us. That's a very stupid age. That's a stupid age. 18 or 19. Yes. What's the age in the states for buying like recreational weed do we think? I think it's probably 21 as well. Really? Yeah. Wait, is it 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec? Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, 19 years in the rest of Canada.
Starting point is 00:12:54 That's a really odd distinction to draw between 18 and 19. What are the other ones? So the Yukon, BC. I don't know what the other ones are. Newfoundland and Labrador. Labrador, yep. None of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I bet they have a lot of it. So, scatch a wand. Wait, that's what it says. With their hired drinking age. A bar in Tebby is advertising a controversial t-shirt just days after becoming the subject of an investigation for allegedly allowing underage drinking. They posted on Facebook, a photo of a t-shirt with the words quote, Tavern strong on one side, hashtag Tavern strong. That's really good gear.
Starting point is 00:13:38 That's fucking fantastic. The post itself says quote, they hit the second tower hashtag tavern strong available next week for purchase Is this the second the second raid they've done on you or On Wednesday 12 news spoke with an employee at the Tavern about the post who said that they knew about the shirts but did not know when or if they would actually go on sale. Tempe Tavern was recently at the center of what Lieutenant Luis Samudio with the State Liquor Department and Tempe Police both said is one of the largest underage drinking busts both departments have ever seen.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Police had reportedly received complaints of underage individuals getting inside the licensed business. During the investigation, authorities identified several underage patrons, many of whom allegedly possessed a fake ID. Some sort of situation unfolding at my combination daycare and bar. A total of 173 individuals were detained and 165 of them received citations. Eight people were taken to the city jail. So they were doing the, it's always sunny, the gang solves the underage drinking crisis, right?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yes. Hey, we'd rather you were in here than doing it on the street. One night, 170 people? 165. So this tavern really is like the place for underage drinking. Like you know you can get a beer there, right? I think it's like right near the ASU, Arizona State University, I guess, campus. So like that's just the bar that you go to.
Starting point is 00:15:21 It doesn't look that big. Yeah, I was going to say the thing I really wanna know is what's the capacity of this bar? Well, they're children, so they're slightly smaller than adults. Yeah, yeah, we can fit 150 adults or 200 children. You know what's really fucking weird though is that if you look at their Google reviews,
Starting point is 00:15:42 all of their negative reviews are about the bouncers being too aggressive about checking IDs. Really? Yeah. So which way do you want it? Maybe everyone's just got a fake ID because it's a stupid thing that you can be 20 years old and not be able to buy a beer.
Starting point is 00:15:55 The idea of having a fake ID is so fucking funny. Everyone I know in Australia that was going to bars and pubs before they were 18, it's just because they were, puberty hit them kind of early, and they were just like a hair-ish looking 16 year old who grew up in the country, so it sounded like they were 45, and people would just give them beer.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Or- You can just go and get someone else to buy you a beer. Yeah, you stand out in front of the liquor land, and you say, oh, can you buy me a pack of Guava Cruises, please? Or on the other end of the spectrum, uh, 16 year old girls who look like 16 year old girls who bounces let into the nightclub because they want girls in the nightclub. Yeah, cause if you're a girl, you can probably just, that's my experience of being 17 at uni. Yeah. You can just do that if you're a girl.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Sorry, I'm distracted because I looked up the Tempeh Tavern and I can see the thing for their Instagram and I can see the phrase, home of the baby dick shot. Huh? I'm going to need to know more about the baby dick shot. It's definitely got a milk based liqueur in there for sure. I'm saying there's calour in there maybe. What size is the glass? Did they come up with a smaller shot glass? Don't call it the baby
Starting point is 00:17:12 dick shot. No. Oh, you're ready to get crazy and slap down some baby dicks? Okay, well, they just want to slap some baby dicks later. June 9th, 2023, they've done an Instagram post that just says, baby dick shots, two exclamation marks with a picture of five shots lined up with a dark brown liquid, sort of underneath what must be a less dense, light cream colored liquid. So I'm going to say, I don't even know what the bottom half would be. So what makes it a baby dick? Oh no, they've posted an Instagram apology since I got this story. Oh, like notes app apology?
Starting point is 00:17:50 Oh, fuck. Here we go. All right. Live, live update coming to you on this live format of podcast. Two days ago, at time of recording. Earlier this week, someone unaffiliated with Tempe Tavon created a shirt that referenced both Tempe Tavaven and 9-11. According to what we know, the shirt was designed by an ASU student.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Designed is very funny. It's not what's going on on it. Uh, and circulated in an online student chat that eventually reached a younger staff member who did not appreciate the significance of that tragic day. Cause they're too young. They're too young to understand how big of a deal 9-11 was. Like having a 50-year-old staff member who made a shirt that said, this was our Pearl Harbor, and being like they weren't around at the time.
Starting point is 00:18:37 They just didn't understand that. They didn't understand the significance of that tragic day. This is, I'm going to leave a one-star review for them for the cowardice on display here. Coming around on the classic like, oh, someone who wasn't us put this up? Yeah, it was a young staff member. And we didn't know about it.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And if you had asked me before and I would have said, actually, that's not funny. Hey, hey, I knocked that off. I wouldn't have laughed. I wouldn't have laughed at that joke. Management removed the post as soon as it was brought to our attention. 9-11 is nothing to joke about. The reference was reprehensible. The shirt is tasteless and disgusting. Grow up. It is a tiny bit funny. It's a bit. It's a little bit funny. It's good gear, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I don't think 9-11 is funny. I think putting that on a shirt about when you got busted for like 170 underage drinkers on one night, probably kind of funny. It's kind of funny. It is kind of 9-Eleven for you guys. Cause you're fucked. The problem is there was only like five people left in the bar and they were creeps because they were there for the 170 underage drinkers. Yeah. And cause you weren't there for 9-Eleven. So this for the 170 underage drinkers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And cause you weren't there for 9-11. So this is your 9-11. Yes. You didn't have one. My 9-11 was 9-11. 9-11. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Do I think 9-11 is funny? No. Do I think describing things as your 9-11 is funny? Yes. Yeah. Yes. But let them have a 9-11, you know, we got one. We had ours.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah. Give the next generation a 9-11 they're probably they'll probably get one oh they'll get some something's coming something's in the pipes I think this time it's gonna be a trade that's my feeling we're always always telling everyone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make their own 9-11 yes I think you know, you know, whatever happened to intergenerational 9-11s. I'm sick of people asking for handouts. Oh, I want my own 9-11.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Give me a 9-11. Make your own 9-11. Hmm. Make your own 9-11. Make your own 9-11. This incident followed a police action that resulted in several people being cited and arrested for underage drinking.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Several. Several. Several people. That's a really strong understatement. That is crazy for you to call the number... Sorry, 173 in total, 165 were cited, eight were taken to jail. Several? Several?
Starting point is 00:21:02 I'm thinking, I'd say several for like, I don't know, four or five? Or just numerous? No, it's not even that. It's more than, it's more than numerous. Yeah. A gang of. A substantial quantity. A gang of. A grip of people. A grip of people got sighted. A class of, a whole class. A graduating class of people. A school bus, roughly a school bus's worth of customers.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Roughly like an A320's worth of customers. Yeah. Tammy Taven scans 100% of the IDs presented at the door. What is not widely known is that fake IDs can now be bought online that scan successfully and appear authentic. Okay. So you guys know that and you just sort of are like happy to let the scanning machine let them in then.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah. Can you not tell by looking? I know the difference between like a 21 year old and a 19 year old is not enormous, but like 19 year olds really look and sound like 19 year olds. Yeah. 18 year olds. You could just start asking about 9-11. Can we get a quick impression of a 19 year old then?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Just so we know what to look out for. I don't really know any of the stuff they talk about or what they do. What do they like? They've got the hair, they've got the perm hair. Broccoli hair, is that them? Are they 19? I think they've still got broccoli hair.
Starting point is 00:22:24 But Zuckerberg's like 45 and he's got broccoli hair Smash Mouth guy outfit, big shorts Yep Big shorts Yeah can't you go by the size of their pants? Kind of like just look at Like if they were really baggy pants Kevin Smith shorts, the guy's either 19 or he's 45
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like what's even chuggy anymore? Skinny jeans Skinny jeans You can't be be wearing skinny jeans. You get roasted alive by teens. I wear them at home, you know Yeah around the house your house skinnies. Yeah Management cooperated fully with teppi police department Teppi tavern compliance with the law, which is why neither the bar nor its employees receive citations. That's fucking amazing. That's incredible. That's crazy because the people that are getting in trouble are just the teens. They're not the bar that's serving underage drinks.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Man, the comments are great. These fucking ASU students are pissed off. La-mow. No younger staff member was troubled by a shirt circulated by an ASU chat. No one under the age of 35 gives a shit about 9-11. Spit attempt. You know what? That's so true.
Starting point is 00:23:29 No one under the age of 35 gives a shit about 9-11. Oh man. It's all right guys. I forgive you because of the chicken tenders. Okay. We got a quality chicken tender there. Best chicken strip. I thought they meant that a quality chicken tender there. Best chicken strippers in the world. I thought they meant that millennials invented chicken tenders, not the bar itself.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, you can forgive the U was millennials. Collectively, yeah, because you gave us, but I don't think that's the case. I think we invented those. Well, let's not say we. I think the United States invented those during World War Two due to ration shortages. Police are continuing to investigate whether any violation should be filed against the establishment. Samudio said, fake IDs can be very convincing and bars may not have the time or technology to verify. Still, how the situation was handled by workers at Tempe-Tabot will be part of the investigation. Quote, if they do their due diligence, they're
Starting point is 00:24:24 going to be okay. But if I see something very obvious, that's when there'll be consequences to the licensee. Do you think having a bar full of young people might've been like- A bar with 160, 170 underage drinkers might be like a bit bad. Like, did you have like 170 people coming up to the bar that didn't really know how to order? Like they didn't know what you're supposed to ask for or what the stuff is. Was that like a bit of a giveaway or they were getting really weird combinations of stuff. It doesn't seem like it would go together.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like, can I get a vodka and Coke? Yeah, that's the big giveaway. Someone orders a vodka Coke and you're like, are you okay? Or are you like 19? What's happening with you? You had 37 customers in a row order a sex on the beach. Yeah. Only cocktail they've ever heard of. And it sounds like-
Starting point is 00:25:12 That's what young people are drinking, sex on the beach. Sounds like it's adults only, you know? Well, no, you don't have that. Have you got a cocksucking cowboy? When do you reckon last time someone ordered one of those? It was probably minutes ago. It's probably happening right now. I reckon in like rural pubs, you can probably still get a cocksucking cowboy, like on special. Because you can get them, you can get them in those pre-mix plastic shot glasses. The plastic shot glasses. I would never order
Starting point is 00:25:38 a novelty shot anywhere. No, I don't think I've ever, I've drank one that's been like given to me by a friend. I would never order a novelty shot. The Picklebacks aren't a novelty shot, by the way. No, that's a man's drink. That's a man's drink. Yeah. Picklebacks are man's drink.
Starting point is 00:25:53 It's also two shots. Um, I reckon the last time I drank a novelty shot was my bachelor party. What'd you have? Zombie brains or whatever the fuck. Ghosts not. No, and I- Chester's turn. Baby dick.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Don't yell at me if I've told this story before. People on the show are listening to it. But there was a guy at the bachelor party who was like palpably mad that we weren't doing like, you know, what we're supposed to be doing. Like bachelor party stuff. Yeah. The bachelor party stuff he wanted to happen was for strippers to be there.
Starting point is 00:26:36 And, um, and for everybody to be putting in the effort to making me as violently ill as possible. Yeah. Trying to get you to do shots out of a stripper's asshole. Just classic. Classic guy stuff. Classic. At some point, we're at a bar and he starts insisting on ABC cocktails, which are a layered
Starting point is 00:26:58 cocktail of Absinthe, Bacardi 151, and Chartreuse. I am going to say you have definitely told this story on the podcast before. But that's only because that's how I learned about what's in an ABC. And it's as bad as it sounds. It sounds nasty. It's just three kinds of extremely strong, not particularly complimentary liquor. I'm too old to be mixing spirits. My body can't handle two different spirits in one night.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I mean your body can't handle like a lot of things. Yeah. I think that's... Rejecting a lot of stuff. It can handle eight tequila, lime and sodas. That's what it can handle. I think mixing things is a terrible idea for you generally. Let's just pick like one solid and one liquid for you to have throughout the day and keep it there. But yeah, like that's the last time
Starting point is 00:27:46 I can remember having like a novelty shot. And it was when someone was like, I'm trying to punish you. I'm trying to ruin your life. Yeah. I'm trying to actively kill you because you get married. I'm not happy about it. Sucking cowboy. Well, I was talking to someone last night, though.
Starting point is 00:28:02 We had some friends around for dinner and I was talking about like types of liquor that I used to be like, oh, I don't like that kind of liquor. And then one day you drink an expensive kind of that liquor and you go, oh, oh, it's just because I was drinking dog shit. You know, and I think that's one of the getting older things is when you both develop a bit of taste and have a bit more money to indulge that taste.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Whereas I think most of the time that you're doing this sort of like awful novelty shots and shit like that is... Oh, it's toilet water, it's garbage. Well, but also I think part of the point is that you're trying to make getting as drunk as possible as palatable as possible to people who are very young with very undeveloped palates and little money. $15 bottle of wine. You know, get a pallet for wine.
Starting point is 00:28:53 You know what I fucking hate? And it's because of the goddamn nanny state we have here. You used to be able to get like six bottles of wine for $15. Oh yeah, you used to be able to get like a box, like a box of wine bottles. There'd be just like a really awful clean skin where it worked out to two bucks 50 a bottle and like, Can't really get that anymore. Huh?
Starting point is 00:29:15 What happened to cask wine? Are we still doing cask wine? Yeah, we're still doing cask wine. Way better for the environment. Keeps for longer. Good arguments. It just feels bad to use. It feels bad to purchase. Yeah. It feels bad to use. It feels bad to purchase.
Starting point is 00:29:26 It feels bad to use. It's just not good. But it's better in nearly every way. It just doesn't... If you brought one of those out at a dinner party, even though it was thrifty and sustainable, everyone would be like, oof. I guess we have plans next time they invite us around, am I right?
Starting point is 00:29:42 I'm not going to the fucking car squad dinner party again. You know what I think is the perfect solution for this? Buy yourself, just go to like a vintage shop, like a, sorry, like a thrift store, a Salvos or whatever. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Buy a decanter, get yourself a carafe and then like... I don't know if the decanter is doing much for the box wine.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I think the carafe is. Yeah, it's just a party. That's a great term. Oh, you're just putting it in a carafe and serving the box wine at the dinner party. Yeah, yeah. I think if you- Juggle wine, anyone? Put it into a decanter, put it into a carafe, then you're removing the part that I think
Starting point is 00:30:22 is putting people off the most, which is watching you tip a cardboard box forward and press the little plug like on the front of an Esky. It sort of comes out like how piss comes out of a body a little bit. The stream is a sort of forceful, directed, it's not the same. Very similar to piss, yeah. Bottle of wine, it's an elegant splashing, it's aerating the wine. Coming out of the little nozzle on the thing, it's like piss kind of. It's like piss from a box. Yeah, it's piss. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:52 A carafe is a glass container with a flared lip used for serving liquids, especially wine and coffee. Why are we reading the definition of carafe on the box? You guys were making it up like no one should serve wine from a carafe. Oh, I just thought you were like decanting it. Yeah. No, that's, that is what I think. Letting it breathe.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Letting it breathe. Well, cause then you're kind of implying that the wine is nice and worthy of, you're like, oh, I'll let it breathe for a minute. You know, there's a little, you don't have to say where you got the wine. Yeah. You're slapping people's hands away. No, no. 40 more minutes.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yes. Settle down. Let it breathe. No, no 40 more minutes. Yes Three and a half more minutes. We're all very thirsty I think I think it's the visual of the boxed wine that gets people upset. Yeah But they're wrong. Hmm. Hey, that was a little handy hit from Andrew about how you can jazz up your box wines We give out sort of general information in the PSA per segment.

Hey, don't have an explosion in your pocket. Pro tip. I know I already went on the vape rant again for the 50th time. It sounds like you guys went on a vape rant last week when I wasn't here. I just fucking hate this shit. We got a really lovely email from someone saying that they quit vaping a year and a
Starting point is 00:33:08 half ago because we weren't going on about how much it sucks. Because we made fun of it. We made it embarrassing, I guess? That's what I want. This shit is so bad in every possible way. You know what doesn't explode in your pocket? Packet of Marlboro Gold. That's right.
Starting point is 00:33:26 It's never exploded. I've expected to see this more in the news, but I'm always keeping an eye on it. It's just like vapes exploding from people just throwing them in the fucking street and then people running over them in their cars and stuff. That's happened a couple of times. There was a guy in the UK
Starting point is 00:33:42 who almost got impaled by a piece of vape because someone in a car nearby ran over it There was a guy in the UK who almost got impaled by a piece of vape because like someone in a car nearby ran over it and exploded and launched a bit of shrapnel in his direction, which like, this is just, I mean, we're obviously surrounded by shit with batteries in it anyway, all the time, like the phones and stuff. They did this read about something this week where, you know how, when you're on flights, they tell you that if you drop your phone between the seats, like, do not reach for
Starting point is 00:34:08 it. We will reach for it. Let us know because they're worried that you'll like try and move the seat and it will get pinched or whatever, which I don't really understand because you can't move the seat. Well, I guess you can lean it back. Anyway, it doesn't matter. A guy in business class on a flight somewhere dropped his iPad and it got wedged in the seat so bad they had to turn the flight around so they could get technicians on to extract
Starting point is 00:34:29 it because they're so worried about getting pinched in the mechanism of the seat that it will start a fire. Oh Jesus. How embarrassing is that? You fumbled your fucking iPad. Blow up a plane fumbling your iPad. Yeah, or even worse, you've inconvenienced people by making them turn around. They have to go through all their fucking flight checks again and all that shit. Oh, that would make me furious.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Just try a few hours without a screen. Just turn the screen off. Read a fucking book. Read a book. The plane is a place for reading a paperback. This is the best chance you have in the world of actually reading for once in your goddamn second screen all the time life. You fucking ruined your levels of concentration.
Starting point is 00:35:08 You're always surrounded by distractions. Just bring a book with you on the plane. It's the only time it's forced. It's forced recreation time. What are you going to do? Scroll? You can't scroll unless you're on one of the flights where you can get the internet now and then I guess you can.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Don't, just don't. Enjoy the, enjoy the flight mode. Yeah. Just fucking treasure the fact that no one can reach out to you. No one can interrupt you. You can just read the subtle art of not giving a fuck because it's the only book they sell at airports, as far as I can tell. You can read a stupid book.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Like just buy a fucking James Patterson book. Yeah. That's what they're for. Yeah. This time is like, you. Maybe you like it. Yeah. This time is like you couldn't have used it for anything more productive, so use it for something stupid. You can't feel guilty about it. Read a song of fucking balls.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Pussy and balls. A song of dick and balls. A rose of dick and balls. Yes. Yes. Just pick that up, but don't start masturbating on the plane. And it looks like it's a fantasy novel and only some people know that it's got sex in it.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Yeah. Someone sitting across the aisle from you will sort of make eye contact with you and be like, Ooh. Yeah. A spicy book. Are you up to that, but I'm up to that, but I've read it before. I came during that Cap chapter. I actually had a no touch orgasm on the plane reading that scene, which is not technically
Starting point is 00:36:29 a crime. I suppose. I think it's okay. That's the Buntavista position of 2025. No touch orgasms are okay on the plane. Perfectly legal. I guess we're applying that to the bus, maybe not the backseat of the Uber. It's a little too personal.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Too personal. It's got to be more impersonal. There's got to be more people around you. There has to be more than one other passenger on the bus or plane as well. Yes. There's a medical condition where I think it's mostly people with vaginas have it, where they have like a hypersensitivity to essentially like sexual stimulation that they can just be on something that's vibrating
Starting point is 00:37:09 even like mindily and they're just coming all the time. Like all day every day they're just coming and it's like life ruiningly bad. All day every day from sun up to sundown. That's right and maybe even while they sleep. I don't know what it's called but I, I don't even know what you would Google for that coming all the time. Coming too much disease. Persistent general arousal disorder, PGAD.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Oh, PGAD? You got PGAD? You got PGAD. It involves experiencing an unwanted sensation of arousal in your genitals that don't resolve with one or more orgasms. Oh no. Wow. Left untreated, PGAD can take a toll on your body and mental health and reduce your quality of life. I can see how it would reduce your quality of life.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Yeah, apparently it's fucking horrible. But then you have one of those medical conditions where like people will either just dismiss it by being like, oh, sounds nice. Or... Must be great. I should be so lucky. just dismiss it by being like, oh, sounds nice or- Must be great. I should be so lucky. Yeah. You'd never really be able to convey to anyone like how much it fucking sucks. Yeah. Like I'm coming all the time. Yeah. No, you don't understand. That's quite bad for me because I'm just trying to live my fucking life. Now I can't get on the tube. I can't catch the bus.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I have to walk everywhere because otherwise that's going to fucking happen for me. And then I'm the creep having the no touch orgasm on the fucking bus. Yeah pretty rough I'm explaining all of this to the person sitting next to me on the plane Before we take off and then I have like eight no touch orgasms during the plane flight Maybe you have to have like a like a card like from the, where it's just like, hey, just letting you know. This is an involuntary physical reaction. A little sunflower lanyard to say that I'm coming all the time. Man, this fucking sucks.
Starting point is 00:38:57 There's a Guardian article here that's just talking about how bad media coverage of it is, that like all of the tabloid headlines about it are like, nurse has 100 orgasms a day. I climax every 30 seconds. I have 100 orgasms a day. Where they're all just like hypersexualizing it because it sounds spicy. But not us. We're talking about in a serious and empathetic way.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Yes, we weren't joking about it. No, that genuinely sounds very bad. Virginia Beach native and backyard wrestler, Zach Lancaster is warning people about the dangers of vapes after one exploded in his pocket. Yeah, that sounds bad. Lancaster, or as he is known in his Tidewater Wrestling Alliance group, The Machine, Eli Davis. Now we're talking.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Is that a necessary piece of information? I think so. It's this guy's life. It's his whole, wrestling is his whole fucking life. I guess it is. I guess he's the fucking machine. What if a vape exploded in your pocket? You wouldn't want them to mention that you're a podcaster?
Starting point is 00:39:58 No, I wouldn't. Fucking hell. Have we talked about how you make up different jobs than you do to life? Did you say, what was your last one? Did you say dental assistant? I liked the anesthetist. I said I was a paralegal. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:40:12 He was like putting a cannula in my hand. I was like, I don't want to talk about this right now. I work in an office. I work in an office. Paralegal is so specific. What do I do? Oh, it's something normal an office. Paralegal is so specific. Yeah. What do I do? Oh, it's something normal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 It's normal. Real estate. I work in real estate. I went to half a floor school. Oh, I didn't know that. Quote, right when I parked my truck, I heard a sizzling sound and then two seconds later it was a big poof and my whole pants caught on fire, like Hester said. I hate it when that happens.
Starting point is 00:40:45 He burned his hand trying to smother the fire, which spread down his leg to his ankle. He was able to get the fire smothered and then he drove himself to the hospital. Jesus. Can't call the ambulance, obviously, because that'll be $25,000. Yeah. Quote, my hand was completely burnt and the skin was falling off. They took all the skin off my hand, he said. There's a lot of pain right now.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Suffering from second and third degree burns, Lancaster spent about two weeks in the hospital where doctors took skin grafts from his right thigh and left shin to help replace the lost skin. That's fucking nasty and all that. It's brutal. So he could have a puff of blueberry ice. Because you needed to inhale your blueberry smoke If you're electric pie or whatever the fuck you're having yeah one more reason not to vape folks
Starting point is 00:41:31 Because you don't want them you never want them to say Here's where we're going to take skin from your body to replace other skin on your body Did you like having skin on your left shin or too fucking bad pal? It's now gonna skin on your left shin? Well too fucking bad pal It's now gonna be on your hands Fucking uh, one of the Only guys I work with who vapes quite a lot his flavor that he always gets his banoffee pie It's got a banoffee pie vape
Starting point is 00:42:08 Take a look at yourself when you're buying your banoffee pie. It sounds fucking insane. The thing is, it smells incredibly good. Like every time I have to yell at him because he's been vaping out the back of the store room because he's had a couple of beers and he loses all restraint. And you could tell that he's done it because he's still exhaling when he walks out from the curtains at the back. There's like a little cloud of vape coming with him. It smells really enticing. It's weird. I feel like it should also smell kind of bad. If it's an embarrassing thing, it should smell embarrassing. I think it does personally, but it's, I mean, it's undignified for you to be like
Starting point is 00:42:39 a grown adult surrounded by like a sort of a haze of pink musk or whatever the fuck. Yeah. It's not good. Make it smell like cigarettes. Yeah. They should make a vape smell like cigarettes. They should make them stinky. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Let's make a vape that smells like a Marlboro Gold so that when you try and sneak one on the bus or in the cinema, everyone around you goes, oh, what the fuck is that? You know how like LPG, like natural gas is odorless naturally But we add the thing that smells like rotten eggs so you can immediately tell if there's gas link Oh, you know if you're dying of it Yes, we should probably not that same stuff because then every time someone was vaping you'd be like, oh shit Is it gas leak gas leak? But like something like that. That's like a really immediately noticeable stink We like the wrong egg kind of smell maybe like a sulf sulfury kind of something sulfurous
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah, for sure. It should smell like the bad stink of a volcano Everyone around you go. Oh Can you do that outside? Do you mind not doing that inside my house or my car? Please? Hate it when people vape in the car. Don't vape in my fucking car. Let it with the window down.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Piss off. People vape in the car? People vape in the car. They think it's fine. Cause there's no fear in it. Sick of this shit. Oh, bloody sick of it. It makes me so angry.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Lancaster said he's been wrestling for a little over 10 years and on Sunday, a wrestling event is being held at Huntington Park in Newport called Fight Forever, where he'll speak about what happened to him. Hmm. Speak about the dangers of vaping, brother. Yeah, so the guy, like, as his wrestling persona, presumably, as the machine, Eli Davis, he's going to get up there and be like, you know what's awesome is blasting guys through tables. You know what's not awesome?
Starting point is 00:44:36 Vaping. Okay. So he's just going to sound like us, I guess. Going to a wrestling thing and getting a fucking lecture about vapes. Yeah, it'd be like listening to a podcast and getting a lecture about vapes. This guy's a fucking dork. We're cool though. Quote, get more awareness out.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Just stay away from them, brackets e-cigarettes, Lancaster explained. Kids should not be doing it. It's so dangerous because you never know when it's going to explode. It's not worth the pain and the suffering. Is it meant to explode? I don't know if it's meant to explode. I don't know if you're just waiting on it to explode. Yeah, the way he says you never know when it's going to happen. That kind of, there's a real like final destination quality. What happened to you? Like, and don't get me wrong, I'm right there with you pal. I agree with you. I'm a hundred percent on your side. I don't think that's the, like the top, the top line sort of argument we're
Starting point is 00:45:29 using against vaping is the risk of exploding. I know it happened to you, so it feels very likely and that it could happen to anyone, but it mostly just happened to you? Like maybe sort of lead with, we don't actually know what like the long-term health effects are. The long- longterm health effects are. Yeah. Probably like look into that and probably still like fucking addictive. Like maybe, I don't know. Do your own research. Lancaster said he had been vaping for 10 to 12 years, but after his experience he's quit because of how dangerous it is. It's not worth ruining your body.
Starting point is 00:46:02 10 years on the vape. 10 years on the vape. That's crazy. And then all it takes for him to give up is one tiny explosion. Because of how dangerous it is. It's not worth ruining your body. 10 years on the vape. 10 years on the vape. That's crazy. And then all it takes for him to give up is one tiny explosion that burns the skin off his hands. Just to be severely burnt bad enough to require skin grafts. That's all it takes. I'm going to be honest. I reckon he's probably still going to be hitting the vape. Oh, he's going crawling back. He'll just get a new one that doesn't explode, right?
Starting point is 00:46:24 Yeah, he's going to be like, and I tell you what, as soon as I'm all better, I'm going to wean myself off this thing. Once I'm done with this one, the banana cream pie, I'm done. I think he's just going to transport his vapes like you would a dangerous gas, like outside the vehicle. He's got like a little holster on the top of his car and that's where it goes. Make sure this never happens to him again. little holster on the top of his car and that's where it goes. Make sure this never happens to him again.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Imagine that you went to like a small town wrestling league and there was a guy whose gimmick was that he's like a powerhouse of violence in the wrestling world and also he tells you not to vape because they might explode. Like his intro, the video that's playing while he's walkout music is going is just like vapes exploding and him shaking his head. Don't do it. No. Hey, if you were sitting in your car and you had your vape in your pocket and you heard it start quietly sizzling, you would think that's a bad sign.
Starting point is 00:47:17 We look at bad signs in omens importance. Homin's Importance. This comes to us from WKRG in Alabama. The Craig. Theodore family shocked after lightning strike leads to surprise discovery. Okay. Isn't that that's alluring, isn't it? That's very alluring. How intriguing. I do like working shocked in with lightning strike in the headline.
Starting point is 00:48:03 That's fun. Language is so beautiful, isn't it? Is. A Theodore family still in shock, Andrew. Hey! After what they believe was lightning that struck their home Thursday morning. Yeah, it probably was lightning. Like if you think it was lightning,
Starting point is 00:48:18 it was almost certainly lightning. As probably, yeah. Yeah. Quote, the power of mother nature, homeowner Jeff Estes said. Can't argue with that, Jeff. Mother nature, the power of mother nature, homeowner Jeff Estes said. Can't argue with that, Jeff. Mother nature, she is powerful. She is fierce. She will not be contained. Around 9am Thursday, Estes was cooking breakfast when suddenly he heard an explosion and a shock of electricity through his body.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Ouch. He heard a shock of electricity through his body. He heard an explosion and electricity through his body. He heard an explosion and yeah, it doesn't really work the sentence, does it? No. Quote, from head to toe, I went down to my knees actually, Estes said. Meanwhile, across the house, his daughter nearly lost her life. Oh.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Quote, she went screaming down the hall saying, are you okay daddy? Estes said. I said, are you okay daddy? Estes said, I said, are you okay Hayley? Where his daughter's room is, lightning struck outside of the house, shocking through the brick and exploding inside right next to her bed. Lightning also struck a tree outside, splitting it in half. The tree fell on the house and Estes's truck. As he was checking out the damage, they found three baby squirrels soaking wet after they fell from the tree. The mother squirrel was nowhere to be found.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Wait, is this the surprise? That's the surprise. The surprise is they found some wet squirrels. They found three beautiful baby wet squirrels who had miraculously survived the lightning strike that presumably vaporized their mother. And now what? Now you have these three squirrels, obviously a gift from the universe. Mother nature.
Starting point is 00:49:57 What are you supposed to do then? You're not going to just like give them to them. You can't just leave them to die. You got to raise them. It's something that mother Nature has given to you by vaporizing their mother. Can I speculate on what might be happening here? Yes you can. I'll allow it.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Because you know how like there's a lot of like, you know, things like superhero stories where we all sort of look back and we say, wow, these sort of myths of God-like super humans go back actually far into human history. And maybe we're seeing a manifestation of it now. In a way, Marvel movies are our modern mythology. Would you say that, Andrew?
Starting point is 00:50:33 I'd say it. And then I'd say maybe what we're seeing here is the real life origin story of Alvin and the Chipmunks. You know? You have been blessed with three sibling squirrels for you to raise as your own. In Theodore! They live in Theodore! They live in Theodore! The signs! What? Wait, what's the Theodore thing? He's one of the Chipmunks. The Theodore, Alvin and Simon.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I get the Chipmunks aren't squirrels. Mother Nature moves in mysterious ways. Wow, it was still pretty close. You've been given these, these orphaned sibling rodents for you to raise as a family. They need to become part of your family now. Start a band and start making you money. Yes. They're going to be a pain in your ass. You're going to learn to hate the leader.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Especially Alvin. You're going to want to kill him, but you can't. His mother's dead. I was thinking this was maybe a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scenario. Okay. Like right now they have the sort of the form of just like, you know, in the 1991 ish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie when Splinter first finds the turtles, they just look like turtles. They're not anthropomorphic in any way. They're just sort of around his little tiny baby turtles. I think that's because did Splinter get gooped first? He was already gooped
Starting point is 00:51:58 at that time. He was already an intelligent rat, I believe. I think. Well, he was already an intelligent rat from watching his master do ninjutsu and copying the moves in his cage. That's true. He could remember all that from beforehand. So obviously already like a pretty naturally intelligent rat. So he was smart before the goop. It seemed that way. And also he had all of his memories from then, you know. Interesting. Although maybe that he could access those memories. He knew about his owner's nemesis as well, I guess. Well, maybe he was just able to interpret the stuff that was stored in his memory with the intelligence he got from the goop, although the doing the moves thing definitely indicates he had. Doesn't matter. The point is,
Starting point is 00:52:38 the turtles looked normal, and then they became sort of man turtles. And I'm thinking these squirrels are going to become man squirrels but the only The only reason that I'm going to dispute that characterization is because I think that in a Ninja Turtle situation I would expect a second kind of animal to be like looking after and guiding the three squirrels. You think that Where's the splinter figure in all this? You think Jeff Estes couldn't be a splinter figure to these guys? I think the human's role in this is to be more of a Alvin's dad kind of figure or at a stretch an April O'Neill style human ally to the turtles, but they still had a splinter. If we examine this logically, so the Ninja Turtles are amphibians raised by a rodent. So logically, we need an amphibian to raise these rodents?
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yes, but it doesn't have to be a rat. No, well, that's what I'm thinking is what's the biggest... Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get No. Well, that's what I'm thinking is what's the biggest- Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. No, I get you. I get you. We're genre flipping. I understand.
Starting point is 00:53:50 We need a human-sized anthropomorphic amphibian. And I know where there is one. The Loveland Frog in Loveland, Indiana. Oh. Yeah. The frog man. I think we need the Loveland Frog to come and raise future anthropomorphic squirrels. These beautiful sibling future anthropomorphic squirrels, yes.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yes. Someone get that guy on the phone. Hey, I've got a job for you. The Estes family decided to take them in and care for them. Here we go. This is how it starts. You are Alvin's dad. Quote, their eyes aren't even open yet.
Starting point is 00:54:31 We're feeding them with a little thimble thing, Estes said. Now this is quite beautiful and that's lovely. They're turning tragedy into something nice. His daughter who just miraculously survived is going to have like three pet squirrels. That's very cool. Now this is just me. I'm a statist cuck from Australia where we sort of put more trust in institutions and rules and stuff. In the times that I have found a baby possum or something that didn't have a mother around, I've taken it to the local vet who then will take it to like
Starting point is 00:55:06 an animal welfare place for like native wildlife. Does the local vet say that they're gonna like take it to a nice big farm? He's gonna go to a nice farm, yeah. They do take it somewhere. They take it somewhere they're looked after. I think they do, but no Americans will just take the animal into their home. Yeah. I don't know if a squirrel's making a great pet to be honest. I don't think they're very domesticable.
Starting point is 00:55:27 I think- You've got to get them leash trained real quick. Domesticatable. Domesticable, I think. They're cute as fuck, though. Adorable. Americans don't appreciate how cute they are. Yeah, they have no idea.
Starting point is 00:55:36 They're used to it. Like, I think even we, we're used to possums, but I still think a possum is cute. Oh, a possum's very cute. Much cuter than the American possum. It's real harsh. Although those guys have the American possum. It's real hard. Although those guys have a lot of character. They got a lot of pizzazz. Very different creature. Yeah, they are. We should probably have different names. Oh, possum. What is he? Irish? Forget about it.
Starting point is 00:56:05 It's thankful his family is okay. It has three new additions to the family. That must ease the pain of losing your truck. You have three baby squirrels now. God was looking out for us and yesterday was National Prayer Day and I always pray for my family every morning, Esther said. I did that yesterday and it paid off. I don't think it did. God struck your house with lightning. That's like one of the most sort of clearest signs.
Starting point is 00:56:32 The most biblical thing that can happen to you. You prayed wrong, brother. You prayed wrong. I just, I don't want to get Richard Dawkinsy here at all. I don't want to be like that. I just, you kind of can't pick and choose what's the blessing and what's like punishment if you're just like, oh, I feel like that's a very, that's one of the main draw cards of modern Christianity, right? Is that you can choose? Yeah, I guess that is nice. I just don't know, man. I feel like
Starting point is 00:57:03 probably your daughter wouldn't have nearly died if like things had gone perfectly right. Yeah. But now you've got these three baby squirrels that you're going to train in martial arts. I guess. So that's. Yeah. And what kind of martial art will you choose? As we've established, we're kind of bending the rules a little bit.
Starting point is 00:57:17 So it could be Taekwondo. You know? True. Do the teenage ninja girls all study ninjitsu? Is that their martial art? Yes, I believe so. I think you should teach them all a different one. True. Do the teenage lat but I bet I'm pronouncing that very wrong but that one is cool as fuck. Yep. Definitely teach one of them and let's get a pronunciation guide on this. Oh no. Ideally if you can get the guys from the raid to come and teach your now adopted squirrels
Starting point is 00:57:59 in Indonesian martial art, we'll all be set. I think I was actually kind of close. Yeah, I think that was actually kind of close. Yeah, I think it sounded good. There's IPA symbols in this that I don't recognize at all. They got a T and the long F, and then with a bar over the two of them, which is a ch sound. So you've got a new F.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And then there's a backwards question mark with no dot, which is like a glottal stop, I think. I don't know what any of that stuff means. So in the IPA explanation for what that character is, they have written, so they've got their example word here that you can get the sound from in English and it's uh-oh and the bit that's underlined, that's where the sound is, is the hyphen between uh and oh. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:58:46 I think it's just a glottal stuff. Like a glottal sound? Okay. So I think it's penchak-sulat. God, this is good podcasting. Hey, that was definitely an episode of the podcast. Buntavista, thank you so much for joining us. We loved having you listening to this, but even more, we would love having you listen
Starting point is 00:59:06 and watch at the live show. That is on May 31st at Polonia. That is the Brisbane Polish club. It's in Milton, just near the scratch. Conveniently. If you're planning on going to the scratch beforehand and you've got a big group, let us know, send us a little Instagram message because we generally only have one person If you're planning on going to the scratch beforehand and you've got a big group, let us know.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Send us a little Instagram message because we generally only have one person on at that time. And if a lot of you are going to go there before the live show, I'd love to put a second person on. Would love to know. We're about half sold at tickets at the moment and I think we're going to sell out. So I'm thinking if you're thinking about going, definitely like do it now. Get in quick.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Yeah. Get a ticket. Don't be the person that misses out. Don't be the person that messages saying, Hey, can I still get in even though it's sold out because I will have to tell you what the Polish club has told us, which is they have a hard limit. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:03 And we are friends and family. We'll want to let in as extras as well. Okay. We have those. So think about that. Yeah. Lizzie is going to be bringing all of her mates. Yeah. So it'd be pretty backed out. You could get tickets for that show at buddhavista.com. We will not be doing a live stream of the show. People keep asking this and I get it. I absolutely do. It's just a lot of work. It's so much work and I kind of really want the thing itself for the people that are there
Starting point is 01:00:32 to be good that I'm not like looking over at OBS like while we're doing the fucking thing or someone's coming over and being like, the internet's down. Can I tether off your phone? The internet's getting choppy. Can you guys just hold up a second and then make that joke again? I don't want that shit at all. That's just so much hassle. We will endeavor to get a recording of it and release that as an episode if you can't make it. But look, the juice is the thing. You want to be there. You want to be in the audience. Last time it got a
Starting point is 01:01:00 little bit rowdy. It did. It was, and it's going to get rowdy again. I feel because it's polonia, baby. Theo is going to get rowdy. You're going to get, see Theo get rowdy. He got rowdy last time. He got rowdy last time. Once he'd had like two drinks, he was mostly about audience interaction.
Starting point is 01:01:16 He's really small. He has two glasses of wine and he's fucking like, he's crazy. He also gets like a big adrenaline rush from doing stuff on stage, even though it terrifies him, and it makes him kind of mental. Yeah. I think you're going to want to see that in person. It's very enjoyable. Yeah, it's a good time.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Hopefully we'll see you at that. We might see you on the bonus episode as well. If you're not signed up, consider it two episodes a week. Pretty good. Until then, stay safe. Look after yourself. We'll talk to you soon. Bye.
