Starting point is 00:00:00 Music playing Hello, welcome to Boonta Vista episode 398. Your bags are packed and you're all set to go on a sunny beach vacation. Things have been really tough for you at home, what with being made redundant at the old factory and your wife leaving you for your family chiropractor Anders, but you've been making great personal strides in therapy and with practicing CBT. You're seeing yourself in a new and more positive light. You're focused on addressing the present day problems
Starting point is 00:00:54 and developing healthy coping strategies rather than delving too deeply into the past, into the conversations you found on your wife's phone with your family chiropractor Anders. You're no longer picturing the delicate curve of your family chiropractor's significantly larger manhood, but you're understanding and changing your own negative thought patterns and you know something? You're actually feeling pretty good today. You're well rested, you're feeling positive, and you've just arrived at the airport. But would you believe it? It's actually every other person here's first time
Starting point is 00:01:26 flying. That's right. Aside from you, not a single other person here at the airport has ever flown or been to an airport before. So there's a 35-minute wait at the airport security line, but that's no problem because you're nice and early for your flight and you're feeling relaxed. You walk up to the first set of scanners and, oh, looks like Theo is just there in front of you and he's got his belt on, he's got his watch on, oh, his phone's in his back pocket, oh, maybe some keys are in there too.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Theo, just out of curiosity, what were you doing or thinking about for the past 35 minutes or so in the line here? So for some reason I convinced myself that I would have to know how to fly a plane. Like not that I would be flying the plane, but they're gonna need me to know how to fly a plane when I hopped on. It makes sense. And I don't know, I don't know how to do that, I'm very sorry. They might show you the cockpit.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Just through the scanner, just through the beep, beep, beep. Oh, all right, hang on. You forgot your stuff there. Let me just, I'll do a lap, huh? Does this normally happen? Yeah, I think so. Like going through things normally. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. I brought my little cigar chopper here. Do I need to put that in the... I'm not sure, because it's not really on the sign. So I just keep it in my pocket. Yeah. It seems right. Do you reckon Anders ever like, you know, the curve of his manhood, do you reckon he ever cracks that? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:02:51 Like a knuckle? Like a creme brulee? Like, no, like solid station. Oh, like your knuckles? Yeah. Like chiropractor would. Oh, I never really thought about what a chiropractor might be doing with his curved penis, but I guess now that you mentioned it, I put all those words
Starting point is 00:03:10 together in the intro, so it makes sense to ask the question. Can I say something really terrible and then maybe edit it out if it falls flat in the room? I read a thing the other day, a news story about a chiropractor somewhere in the States who was getting a lot of accusations of sexual impropriety with women clients that he had. Classic chiropractor. Sure, chiropractor, yes.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. That included complaints that he had done a move to this woman who had back pain where he had told her what he was going to do and then done this. But it was a thing where he inserted fingers into her vagina and then adjusted her back. And then she came back to receive that treatment again later because the back pain came back. And then he did it again. Did it go away the first time? They didn't say whether or not it was successful. But assuming that because she went back, I don't know, she must've thought maybe that it worked. But it turns out he had
Starting point is 00:04:09 done this with a bunch of other women as well. I don't know what the stage the charges are at, at the moment, but they contacted like the American Chiropractic Association. And they were like, well, we don't know anything about what he's doing, but that is one of our moves. Yeah. Oh, the bowling ball. It's no good. No, no. That's a sanctioned, it's an international chiropractor.
Starting point is 00:04:38 So that's an ICA sanctioned move. He also was like, yes, that is just one of the moves. Um, it says in the book, you can't be smiling when you do it though You've got to be stern about it. Don't you? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I wish I didn't have to do this Yeah, unfortunately, it's seer in the guidebook. Yep fingers go in and then he just gives her a few karate chops to the shoulders Anyway, I didn't put that in the notes because no good, really bad. Stupid profession. Yeah, horrible. Well, it's time for boarding and Ben's here and it's his first time ever flying on a plane.
Starting point is 00:05:13 How exciting. And he's seated in row 27 on this A321neo. Now, Ben, are you going to board at the rear stairs or would you just kind of prefer to use the air bridge at the front of the aircraft? Well, could you give me one second because I do need to go down to the tarmac and take a photo of myself next to the plane. Okay. Just going to do that first. Yeah. And then I'll just sort of see what the vibe is like whichever line looks longer. Like if it looks like there's a lot of people waiting at the rear stairs, I might just go back up and then go through the air bridge.
Starting point is 00:05:43 That just makes sense. I see how I feel. Actually I might hop into his line. What seat did you say that I was in? 20, 27, 27. Nah, I don't like that. I might just pick sort of like one of the good ones. I'm talking like a 10A. That's a classic seat or a 8F maybe. I might maybe just sit there and then maybe I can negotiate.
Starting point is 00:06:03 If someone has that ticket, which seems pretty unlikely on this full flight, I can negotiate with them about whether or not I'll stay there. It's kind of like the movies. It's like, do I really have to sit in my assigned seat? Yeah, it's like, come on, man, let's take it easy. You know, this is a one fifth full screening of Avatar 2. Yeah, well, you don't have to like be total freaks about it. Just go sit up the back, dude.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Take my seat. I know that one's free. Just take my seat. Chill out. Relax. Everyone's so uptight on these fucking flights. Oh God, I know, right? I accidentally, I didn't realize I hadn't zipped up my backpack. So when I went to put it in the overhead bins, even though it would fit in the seat back in front of me, all my stuff spilled out and everyone was like rolling their eyes and sort of tutting at me while I was gathering all my like Take your time and then put it on your back and then kind of hit everyone with it on the way past Oh ladies, you've filled it so much. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why everyone gets so stressed out about these things
Starting point is 00:06:58 We're gonna end up where we're going anyway Like with the destinations the same. Oh, oh look at me. I'm in convenience you. Okay Well, you're gonna be a thousand kilometers away in like an hour and a half. Isn't that fucking magical? Why don't you just appreciate that? Yeah, maybe just enjoy the magic of flight that we've created When did we lose our sense of childlike wonder? When did we lose our sense of wonder? That's what I'm saying Yeah, maybe just fucking take the stick out of your ass and have a little sticky beak out outside the windows. Isn't that magical?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Calm down. Calm down. Relax. You're in your seat now. You're doing your mindfulness exercises, taking some deep breaths, focusing your attention on the different parts of your body, noticing the sensations, letting them flow through you without judgment. You're asking yourself, are there thoughts that I'm having that are recurring or distressing?
Starting point is 00:07:49 What evidence is there that supports or contradicts my thought? What would I say to a friend who was having these thoughts? Oh, but it looks like you've just been interrupted here by Andrew. Now he might be 65 years old, but he is going on a plane for the very first time. He's reclined his seat before takeoff. He's closing the window blinds before takeoff. The overhead bin is full of his oversized suitcase that he's put in there sideways, so it looks like you'll have to keep yours under the seat instead.
Starting point is 00:08:17 No need for in-flight entertainment because he's going to be playing a fucked up off-brand version of Candy Crush with no headphones on for the next 45 minutes. Except when the flight attendants arrive at your row, he'll take out the menu and start having a browse and just make them stand there while he's looking at the in-flight menu. Andrew, hey, just sorry to be rude. Would you mind just putting your shoes back on? Well, maybe if you hold my iPad for me so I can put my tray table up, which is down before takeoff. Of course.
Starting point is 00:08:49 To put the iPad on? Yeah, yeah. I've got the really big, very leather case that goes all the way around my iPad Pro. I said, what's the biggest one you got and how big can you make the text on it? How do they get them so big? Can you make the text bigger in Candy Crunch? I asked the man at the store. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Uh, and no, I won't be putting my shoes back on because you know what? Paid a lot of money for this flight and it's kind of my living room now. You know, so you paid $129 for this. People can't really say I paid a lot of money for this flight anymore. People are like, oh, I paid money for my flight. I'm going to recline the seat. You didn't pay much. Flying is too cheap.
Starting point is 00:09:30 We've made it too cheap. Plus it's an hour and a half. You don't recline on anything less than eight. Yeah. That's fucking crazy. 100%. Stewardess, could you have this man removed from the plane? His items have fallen from his backpack onto my penis.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I will issue file charges of assault. Call the sky marshal. One time I had a lady sitting in front of me on a three hour flight over to New Zealand who kept putting her ponytail over the back of her headdress. over the back of her headdress, so it's directly blocking the screen. Yuck. It's an awkward one. It's like, do I touch her ponytail? There's no fucking way I'm touching a lady's ponytail. I'm not a psycho.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I also didn't want to tap her on the shoulder and be like, can you remove your ponytail? But what little understanding of the arrangement of the chair must you have to not think that it will be a problem? Like you're looking at- It's more about object permanence. My ponytail's behind me now. It's gone. The plane stops behind me. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's no longer my problem. Yeah. I don't want to turn around and look though, because if the back half of the plane is gone, that's going to be distressing. Yes. Just don't think about it. Sorry, that was just really an outlet for me to talk about stuff that annoys me. Oh, was it?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Oh, you? Plane? You haven't even been on a plane recently, like you're about to be. But I mean, it's not like it was usually if someone brings specific grievances to their intro, it's because it just happened to them. But like your last flight was a couple of weeks ago. I guess so. You're just sitting on it.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I fly often living in Hobart. Don't come at me. Don't come at me about the environment. Live on an island. Taylor Swift over here. Yeah. Constantly. How fast she's flying.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. I don't think you can be the comedian of the week, less than 10 minutes in. Too early. No, we have a rule. Just to make sure that the flow gets going before we completely kill it. Hey, to play the comedian of the week stinger this early on an episode, that'd be a crime. We talk about crimes in Crime Watch. You are in direct violation of penal code 113 section 9.
Starting point is 00:11:46 You now have five seconds to apply for your punishment. Help me! Help me! Help me! No! No! No! This comes to us from WFLD in Chicago. The flood. Made me think of WC Fields. I was like, that's too abstruse. Four men had $570,000 worth of counterfeit Apple Samsung products, Illinois prosecutors say.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Oh, Samsung? Did I say Samsung? Oh, right. I see what you're saying. Yeah. That's a little unwell at the moment. I'm quite sick and I thought I might have nasal congested my way to Samsung. No, it's more about the headline, I think.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Yeah, no, that totally makes sense. Hey, get excited to come to the live show and maybe Ben will make you sick. Yeah, and he'll cough in your face. I think this episode actually comes out after the live show. Yeah. It's just taken place. If Ben made you sick at the live show. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:13 You are the chosen one. Just don't rush the stage. If you stay a good distance away, I'm only making these three people sick. Oh, good luck. Four men were accused of running an electronics counterfeit ring in DuPage County worth more than half a million dollars, prosecutors said. Salvatore De Rosa, 50. Simone Signorelli, 23. Vincenzo DiMartino, 49. Luca DiMartino, 25. All right, now I know what we're doing. I know what we're doing here.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You know what the gag of the article is? It's that some guys are Italian. Get those vocal cords ready. Pizza pie. Delicious pizza pie. They were charged with possession of counterfeit items with intent to sell, according to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office. Police came across the suspects on May 7th when an Elmhurst officer responded to the 400 block of North Oak Street for a report of a suspicious vehicle. What are we thinking with a suspicious vehicle? I'm thinking- Chrysler 300C.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Oh, I'm thinking Scooby-Doo mystery machine. Yeah, it's a silly car, Mr. Bean car. Yeah. But that's a- Four Italians in it, but that's a vehicle that houses suspicion. Like the people within that have suspicions that they're not suspicious. Yeah. That's a suspicions vehicle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:35 But if you're not like a real Hanna Barbera head, then I feel like it's not going to be immediately obvious to you necessarily. Oh yeah. Like if you're like a 62 year old woman who's never seen Scooby-Doo and you see that outside your house. Oh, a machine of mystery? I think a 62 year old woman is primed to have seen Scooby-Doo in her lifetime. He might have seen Scooby-Doo.
Starting point is 00:14:55 If you're a Zoomer. No, get in that TV. She comes from her house, she had to work early and she like runs over to her house and like pulls, it's still got like the braided cable on the phone Dial 9-1-1 straight away says hello police. There's something that I don't recognize Yeah, can you say we'll be there right away? Yes, we can please arrive with your guns drawn. Oh wait even worse It's an Italian Take the safety off before you get out of the car
Starting point is 00:15:25 Van full of Italians on suburban Take the safety off before you get out of the car. Why did they? But why did they? It's a code one van full of Italians on suburban street. Why did they counterfeit an American and a Japanese brand though? Why not counterfeit one of the many great Italian- Italy's great smartphone technology companies? Yeah, it's called Nokia. Fucking hell. Look, I think we're finally going to have to get you to play the Stinger Band. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I physically can't. You are the Bunta Vista comedian of the week. I'm just gonna sit down and have a drink. I don't want to ruin our friendship, you know? Just... Oh... This is stupid! I don't like this. Why would you counterfeit technology? Like you still made a phone, right? Did you just put a different brain on it?
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah, cause like you can't... Okay, how are you counterfeiting an iPad? Does it just look like one? It doesn't do anything. Is it just like a 3D printed iPad? They're not selling like Ikea display iPhones that don't have working in it. I think they're taking like blank Android phones and then putting an Apple logo on them and being like iPhone 13 is very good. Oh, child bella, you have an iPhone. Profitable can this be really? Half a million dollars worth.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I mean, how much, what's the going price for an iPhone these days? 1200 bucks? I think it's a million dollars. Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Yeah. I don't buy iPhones because I'm not mr. Moneybags the air pods are like 300 bucks or whatever If you got much money if you got a $30 pair of regular style headphones that have the they're just white I don't think the air pods have the Apple logo on them. Do they it's probably written
Starting point is 00:18:03 You can 100% like get one of the knockoff set of white, like white headphones that are shaped like it. And that's gotta be the easiest one, right? Is the iPhone, uh, well, I, I, what are they called? iPod. iPod. iPod. iPod.
Starting point is 00:18:22 iPod. Yeah. Yeah. iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, iPod, That's the look apparently. Broccoli hair, AirPods in. Four hundred dollars for new AirPods, Ben. Yeah, and what do they do? Nothing. Do they sound good? I think probably. I hear that they sound good. They probably have a microphone. Do they sound four hundred dollars good? I don't think that anything could sound four hundred dollars good. Do they sound better than a pair of Audio Technica ADH-M50Xs?
Starting point is 00:19:02 Surely not. I mean, that's the pinnacle of audio technology. Can you plug those into your phone? With a series of adapters? Yes, you can. You gotta go from... It's just 3.5 to fucking USB-C or whatever the fuck. When did we stop putting headphone jacks on phones?
Starting point is 00:19:18 Come on! Really grinds my gears! I'm sick of this shit! I'm actually sick of it. Get the fucking computer. Jack's on phones, come on! Yeah, come on! Really grinds my gears! I'm sick of this shit! I'm actually sick of it. Get serious. You know what you don't have to charge? A pair of corded headphones.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Just plug them right on in. I can't like leave the house and then realise I didn't plug in my headphones if, you know, they just plug straight into the phone they play. What happened to passive headphones? Unpowered. Come on.
Starting point is 00:19:47 That's a serious question for you, listeners. What did happen? What changed? What happened? Where are we? They manufactured our consent for AirPods. Yeah, they pretended like we all thought it was acceptable. They shifted the overton window on headphones.
Starting point is 00:20:02 You all don't want the headphone jacks in. I want it. I still want it. Very hard to lose something if it's attached to a metre of cable. That's right. The Jelly Star had a headphone support. Unfortunately, the Jelly Max no longer. Is it just a single USB-C?
Starting point is 00:20:20 It is just a single USB-C. Interesting. Sort of like a cloaca for the phone. Yeah. Everything goes through there. Or if a cloaca, well so, but if a cloaca kind of went in and out at the same time. I guess kind of more like a squid's beak. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah, I guess so. Because I think they do both, they eat and shit out of them. I don't know if that's true. But they don't have any other holes right in Police came across the suspects on May 7th blah blah blah blah senior early allegedly was the driver of car that pulled up to a person He allegedly offered to sell that person a cell phone, but they refused the suspect left the scene 500 that sounded like leading out of his fear 500. Hey, you look like a smart fella. You want a very good deal on a smartphone.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Hey, how about a smartphone for the smart guy? I have an XS iPhone 12. Come on, help me out. You look very nice. I accidentally bought too many for my big family. We celebrate the pop. And now... We got an American pop!
Starting point is 00:21:30 I get too many of our father's gifts because of American pop. We got a new pop, I drink too much Chianti, I go a little crazy on the Apple Store. And now, maybe you win. Sir, where are you going? You're not wanted on the phone? It's the narrative that pulls people in. That's what gets you in a scam is it's the story they weave around it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 He wasn't just like, Hey, do you want a phone? He was like, woohoo! Who's punching all these bricks? He seems super excited. It's a me, Vincenzo. You guys see that video of the Ukrainian Orthodox priest who was the one that Australia sent over to the College of Cardinals to vote on the Pope? Why are we sending Ukrainians anyway? Well, the, he's the, the Cardinal of the
Starting point is 00:22:27 Ukraine of a Ukrainian Orthodox church diocese in Australia, in Melbourne, I think. So he is Ukrainian, but he's the Cardinal of diocese over here, but because he's a Cardinal, he's, he was in the college of Cardinals or whatever. So he goes to the papal election. And it's just a very charming interview where he gets back where he's just been like, this was the best two days of my life. You ever spend any time without your phone? It's incredible. So good. We even got the priests.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Even they're addicted to their phones. That's bleak. They're addicted to their phones. What are they doing in there? That takes them further from God. Yes. Yeah. Our phones do takes them further from God. Yes. Yeah. Our phones do take us further from God.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I wonder what they're watching. Unless you get the, uh, the, the prayer app that Gwen Stefani advertised. That's true. It brings you back. There are two celebrity prayer apps. Is there, is this different from Mark Wahlberg's prayer app? Or is it the same prayer app? Mark Wahlberg made his, he coded it.
Starting point is 00:23:24 He made it, right? She is just advertising for one? Is she using Marky Mark's prayer app or is it the same prayer app? Mark Willberg made his, he coded it. He made it, right? And she is just advertising for one? She using Marky Mark's prayer app. Well, I believe she's a paid advocate. Stay prayed up. Gwen Stefani prayer app. Gwen Stefani's app for Halo, a pay to pray app.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Oh, I think that might be pay to pray. I love paying to pray. It's what God would have wanted. I thought it was free. To me, that feels like it should be a sin right out of the gate. That feels like sin and pay to pray. Yeah, it's like maybe it's not written in the Bible, but it feels sinful. Feels like a sin coming and going, I think. It is an American Catholic meditation and prayer app It provides audio guided Bible prayers
Starting point is 00:24:07 Bible stories prayers meditations sleep and Christian music Imagine pick up a book imagine having so much money and still still standing behind that as well That rules is she but she must surely be religious herself if she's like advocating for it, right? Like otherwise that'd be weird Oh, yeah, I guess pretty weird. I don't believe in this shit, but you guys should totally prayer up stay prayed up stay pray Sounded about as legit as old Russell Brand. Why would you say that if you didn't believe it? You know, have you guys noticed that Catholicism is having like a zeitgeist moment at the moment? Oh, it's very much. It's very much in the zeitgeist, I think.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Catholicism? I think it dropped off for a while, but now it's back. All these celebrities are like, I'm Catholic. All these young, weird freaks on the internet are like 35-year-olds who've never been religious in their life and they're like, oh, I'm Catholic. Yeah, you think people are hopping on, Googling who was Martin Luther?
Starting point is 00:25:01 Yeah. No. And why do we hate him? Why do I personally hate him? As a Catholic? Well that guy was wrong. They're hoppin' on and they're googling hot dog pope. The Vice President of the United States.
Starting point is 00:25:16 He's got the hot dog pope. He's Catholic. He's in Vatican City. He's telling Cardinals that agree to disagree. About some of that stuff in the Bible. Yeah. Please track the car to a home in the 2N300 block of Diane Avenue in Green Allen.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Every day. Every day with this. Can you? You got a system of coordinates? What are we talking about? 2N. 2N300. Sounds like one of those drugs you used to do, Theo. Yeah. Coordinates what are we talking about to and to end 300? Sounds like one of those drugs you used to do there. Yeah to and 300 is that what you mean like 302
Starting point is 00:25:53 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's a really odd abstract way. It's a new form of notation I've invented in the style of German numbers They tracked the car where seniorney Riley parked and entered the home. Investigators later learned that all four men lived at that residence. Yes. Oh, Italian Hype House. Italian Caterpillar Hype House? With a 50-year-old, a 49-year-old, a 23-year-old and a 25-year-old?
Starting point is 00:26:21 That's so good. Why do you all live together? They're not even related. Well, they might have some uncle stuff going on. There's one shared surname there. Is that a 25 year old? That's so good. Why do you all live together? They're not even related. Yeah. Well, they might have some uncle stuff going on. That's unholy. Yeah, I think that's uncle stuff. There's one shared surname there. Figenza Demartino and Luca Demartino. There's a couple of Demartinos.
Starting point is 00:26:34 You know the classic. Appreciative Demartinos. Where the cops, they kick down the door on a house and they get in, there's everyone in gowns and stuff and they're all packaging white powder that cook and various stuff except- What would these men be doing? So they're all in- Make them sausages.
Starting point is 00:26:55 They're all in pasta chef aprons and a big table at the middle. Big old red and white checkered tablecloth. They're making illicit gnocchi. They've got big pot of pasta, big as you like. No, I think they're wearing the aprons and at the checkered tablecloth and making knockoff iPhones. You got fucking Vincenzo telling his nephew Luca, how you make it the best iPhones you ever have to make a iPhone from for a guy I'll show you
Starting point is 00:27:27 You slice up of the silica to so thin So glad nothing bad has ever happened to Italy and I'm glad about all that bad stuff they did in World War two We're off the hook nothing bad has ever happened to Italy. And I'm glad about all that bad stuff they did in World War II. We're off the hook. You guys picked the wrong side because you just gave carte blanche to an Australian comedy current events podcast. On May 8th, Vincenzo DiMartino allegedly drove to Roselle to try and sell AirPods to landscape workers who declined the offer. AirPods, classic. Just rolling up on anyone on the street.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Is that what's going on here? Yeah. Your headphones, they look like shit. You have a no-rease, a no-rease. Oh, it pains me. You are so reaseless. Come here. I give you some reas.'ll do you a nice deal. What's that on your neck? Is that a spaghetti? Oh, it's a cord on your headphones! Oh, it's disgusting!
Starting point is 00:28:36 I'll help you. Come over to my Fiat 500. We're making look so trippy, all the female landscape workers. They go, whoa! Latest AirPods? But you don't let them listen. Don't let them listen or they know straight away.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Because occasionally the Bluetooth voice will chime in and it's a very badly recorded audio of a lady in a factory in China. Or you ask Siri something and it comes on and goes, oh, how I help you. Bluetooth is detected. A short time later an Elmhurst police officer stopped Demartino's car. The officer was given permission to search the car and found numerous counterfeit items. I wonder if given permission means he like phoned up headquarters and then like go for it or whether he's like, sir, do you mind if I search the car? He's like, yeah, go you mind if I search the car?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Go ahead. I got nothing to hide. You will look at the car. The items included five Apple iPhones, five Apple watches, 19 Apple AirPod Pros, three Apple battery packs, one Apple iPod, two Apple AirPod Maxes, three Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra cell phones and one Dyson hairdryer. Are they counterfeit? You calling them Apple? They're counterfeit.
Starting point is 00:30:09 They gotta be, right? What's counterfeit about them? He's just selling secondhand electronics from his car. That seems more likely. DiMartino was taken into custody. That same day police saw Signorelli leave his home carrying a large black duffel bag into the same car he was previously seen driving. He also was stopped by police in Glendale Heights.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Officers were given permission to search the car. Well, they also found counterfeit items including two Apple AirPod Max's, five Apple iPhones, an Apple iPad, 16 Apple AirPod Pros, four Apple Watches, and two Samsung Galaxy S25s's. Oh, you wanted the headphones too? Go ahead. So I guess you must have already, this guy had already moved his Dyson hairdryer, I guess. I guess so. He got the sale. They go quick, yeah. Hairdryer with Dyson written on the side in Sharpie. Signorelli was also taken into custody. A similar chain of events played out when DeRosa left the home,
Starting point is 00:31:04 also on May 8th, when he was stopped by Elmer's police who found bags full of purported Apple brand products. DeRosa was arrested. At this point you're just feeding Italians to the police. Police found more than $45,000 in cash and numerous counterfeit items. So they're moving merchandise. Oh, they're moving it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. I guess you ask enough people someone's going to want to buy one, right? Someone offers you a hundred dollar Apple air pod maxes. You know that it's, you know, there's something wrong with it. This guy seems trustworthy. He's Italian. But you want it. You want to get the Riz and he's Italian.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And Italian's never been suspicious. Italian's never been dishonest. My mother say, you do a good deal or I beat you around the head with a rolling pin. So, you know, I got to do your good deal. Luca Di Martino also left home in a car. Officers also stopped him and searched his car and found more than $90,000 in cash. He was also taken into custody. He's getting the sales because he's 25. He's a little more charming, a little more slick. More charming, yeah. He noticed how to move the drippy headphones. He probably sounds like, hey, oh, because he's younger, you see. Yeah. He's got more lust for life.
Starting point is 00:32:23 After searching the home, police found another 767 counterfeit items with an approximate value of more than $519,000. The total value of the items police found was more than $573,000, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said a judge granted their motion to detain the four men in jail. For giving people great deals, I guess. I guess that's not allowed in this work world. Yeah, what some entrepreneurs are trying to move some affordable electronics from their cart.
Starting point is 00:32:51 They don't want us to have affordable electronics. They want us to give our fucking penance to the Apple corporation. Yes. Bend the knee to Tim Apple. Bend the knee to Tim Apple, like a fucking slug. You know what I mean? I think it's the cash.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I think that, you know, they're trying to track everything. They don't want you to pay cash for stuff anymore because they want everything to be part of the machine. That's it. They don't want you to give Lucas cash. They want you to be tracked, tagged, recorded, every part of your life. Face scanned, eyes scanned, blood type encoded, pheromones recorded. Oh, I'll pay with Apple Pay. Just meeting behind a fiat 500 and exchanging money for goods. You know what that money represents? Hard work. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:37 It represents labor. I accrued this physical token of my labor and I want to exchange it for a $100 pair of Apple AirPod Max's but Uncle Sam's not getting to clip anything off the top. Tim, Apple doesn't get to clip anything off the top. Five Eyes not going to know where I was. They want our money back in the capitalist machine is what's happening. Yeah. This is the dark, dark web.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yes. The dark web of being on a suburban street and saying, cheaper, cheaper airbards. Come and get them. Italians, they're all perverts. Yes. We talk about other kinds of perverts on Paging Dr. Lucy. Woo! Five one five five! Now you're paging Dr. Lootsy! This one is nice and sweet and short. This one is short and sweet. And that's nice.
Starting point is 00:34:55 The famous saying! It was nice and short and sweet, which is good. It's so funny how much brain damage we have collectively. This comes from r slash sneeze fetish. Famous? Okay, there's the title of the post. Sure. I saw Lady Gaga in a dream last night.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I wonder if it's anything like that. Yeah. What happened? Was she sneezing? Well, no, she was at Tool's house. She's right. You was at Tool's house. She's right there. You were at Tool's house. You got to hang out with Tool?
Starting point is 00:35:30 Dude, that's awesome. And you always laid me down. I bet he's so crazy. Hey Tool, can I grab one of these sugar-free Red Bulls out of the fridge? No? Okay. Mr. Tool? I'm having to like plug in their AV cables, like get, try to get them all
Starting point is 00:35:44 kind of set up or like, you get, try to get them all kind of set up or like, you know, the grudge is like a masterpiece. You know, Oh, sorry, Lady Gaga kind of bumped into you there. And she's like, you know what? It's no problem. Yeah. I'm actually a really down to earth person, but be careful not to piss off tool. That guy is crazy. Who are the members of tool? Well, there's the main guy tool. People think it's a band. It's actually one of those things where it's just actually one guy.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah. It's like you're thinking of tools monster. Yeah. Oh, John tool. We know the guy from tools name. Don't write it. I know at least I know at least three.'t write it. I know at least three. I know at least three. It's Maynard Coonan.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I know at least three of them. Don't lump them in. Don't lump me in with the rest of these people. And the drummer, Daniel Drums. The text of this post is forwards. Is anyone here famous? Oh, yes. And I'm jacking it signed Chris Pratt.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I'm Chris Pratt. It's me Chris Pratt. Oh, oops. Please disregard. Please disregard. I was trying to keep this a secret, but since you asked, yes, it's me, Chris Pratt from the American office. Nope. Parks and Rec, an American American sniper and I have a
Starting point is 00:37:07 money for the guy no it's okay everyone been sick propaganda moving in Marvel stuff he is but I feel he was. He's in Guardians of the Galaxy He's also the voice of Super Mario in the Mario Brothers movie. He's the voice of Super Mario and they're like, hey check out We're gonna do something really exciting with the voice and it's just Chris Pratt's voice. He's like, hey, I'm Garfield I'll kill you Chris Pratt. Can I read you guys a post from r slash movies from 11 years ago? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's titled Chris Pratt in American Sniper First off, I know Chris Pratt was not an American sniper. Second, I'm not jumping on the Pratt hype train. I was a fan of his before Guardians. Now I read that originally Bradley Cooper brought the rights to American Sniper with the intention for Chris Pratt to star. I read this before
Starting point is 00:38:02 seeing the movie and while I was watching, I couldn't help but think how much better it could have been with him. I like Bradley Cooper, but I feel the movie and while I was watching, I couldn't help but think how much better it could have been with him. I like Bradley Cooper, but I feel the movie had a lot more potential than it delivered. I feel like Chris Pratt is actually more suited for the part. It would have been really awesome to see how Pratt approached a serious leading role. Also seems kind of dickish for Cooper to buy the rights with an actor in mind to play the part and then be like, whoops, nevermind. I'm going to do it myself.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Does anyone else think- That's so funny to imagine Chris Pratt is that as Chris Kyle I think I can see how I arrived at this now yeah you just met this guy Chris you guys ever see those pictures of um Bradley Cooper playing the elephant man on stage yeah yeah look apparently that's how it's played on stage I don't wanna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna knock it for him. Yeah, we wouldn't make fun of the theater. The theater?
Starting point is 00:38:51 Some things are just kind of sacred. Doesn't matter if you're on a rude, kind of crude podcast, there are some things you don't make fun of, like the facial mannerisms used to imply the disfigurement of the elephant man. Uh-huh. Yeah. A guy putting his jaw weirdly to one side and making his posture odd? That's not funny.
Starting point is 00:39:11 It's acting. It's acting funny. I was going to read another sentence from this, but that was the whole post. I think we can't answer this person's question. No. No. No. I'm going to guess that nobody came forward and identified themselves. Because you're not going to. Well, there were no replies to the post at all.
Starting point is 00:39:33 And also, if you're into the kind of stuff, you're putting all of your energy into that. You're spending all of that chi. Yes. Every time someone sneezes, you just blasting that Chi out. You have all of your life energy. Yeah. You can't be making movies like that. Daniel Day-Lewis isn't in the Sneeze Fetish subreddit.
Starting point is 00:39:55 That's for sure. I also think that once you reach a level of wealth and success, you don't need to be in the Sneeze Fetish forums because you have a a guy in your life like a fixer and you say You just call him. Yeah, I need a blonde to sneeze on me tonight. Yes tonight. 730 sharp. Yes sir Daniel Day-Lewis sir. Getting really, getting really excited.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Bottle blonde or natural blonde? Getting excited as springtime approaches hay fever fever season's coming on, you know? Ooh, we're going to get a prime crop of fuck. It's why they're all living in LA. Youngsters getting off buses, coming into the big city. You know that thing that Daniel Day-Lewis does where he spends like a month of the year as a cobbler in Italy? Cobbling shoes or whatever.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I think it's actually a month of sneeze season. Oh, you think he's over there like getting nasty with sneezes? Yeah I think that's you know the pollens in the air. I think he could be if he wanted to. Yeah and then as soon as he's on the set snap out of it. It's like he was never a sneeze fish just in the first place. He's Daniel Plainview. I think that's the whole reason that he has to stay in character for the entire shoot. Cause people are going to sneeze during the course of like a nine month shoot.
Starting point is 00:41:11 And he needs to be in deep. Yeah. I'm Daniel Plainview. I don't come when people sneeze. Yeah. I don't come. I drink your milkshake and I don't come when people sneeze. Why does he keep saying that?
Starting point is 00:41:27 His ad lib lines are crazy, but it really gets at the interiority of the character. There is a lot about them we don't know. And apparently Daniel Playview has just no erotic reaction when people sneeze. Asking a gaffer that you know, is it true that he stays in character the whole time? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He, he, I guess he does.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Yeah. Just need one more take Daniel. You keep saying I don't come after your lines. Hey, if Daniel Day-Lewis does have a problematic relationship with sneeze fetishism, maybe that's something we should chat about. We chat about other stuff we should chat about in Stuff We Should Chat About. Here comes some stuff we should chat about. Stuff we should chat about.
Starting point is 00:42:19 What other stuff to chat about. Stuff we should chat about. Here comes some more stuff to chat about. Here comes some more stuff to chat about. We're chatting about snooze. Yeah baby. Now I wanted to just bounce something off you guys. You know, you guys are some of my closest friends. Yeah, um. That's true. I just, are you sure you're okay to do it because I know you are in the middle of dinner right now.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Oh, I mean, you don't need to point that out. They won't know. Uh huh. That I'm eating a bowl of lamb shawarma with fries. Shawarma? It's Tuesday, so I can't be eating Bollardays. Oh, of course. Um, so this is a, this is a two-part stuff we should chat about.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I just wanted to test something with you guys. It's something where I've kind of gone like, you know, earlier in my life, I'd see behaviors in others and I'd say, oh, that's crazy. And, you know, it's probably pretty normal. Or I'd do something myself thinking I could get away with it. But other people would be like, what the fuck are you doing? You know, that's odd. And it's taken me a long time to realize, you know, I can chat about this stuff. This is some stuff I can chat about with my friends.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Just see maybe test whether this is a psycho thing to do. So the other day I was chatting to my, my boss and he is not the subject of this. And he said, uh, they was having the next day off because it was his birthday and he never works on his birthday. And he said, everyone, you go out there, book your birthday in as annual leave and then take it off. I thought, you know what?
Starting point is 00:44:00 Hypothetically, that's a good idea unless it's not, unless you guys think that's freak behavior. But part two, what if someone did that and then went by themselves to Warner Brothers movie world to just go on roller coasters all day, log by themselves. For their own birthday? Like on your own birthday. Oh. Like, will you be explaining to your son?
Starting point is 00:44:27 Don't say, don't say will you, because this is high percentage. Oh, whoever we're talking about. Would this guy tell his children or probably not, right? But his wife would have to know, because he'd have to let his wife know because she'd have to make arrangements. In these circumstances, probably tell his or her wife, but not their, their children to say, yeah, no daddy went to or mommy. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It went to work. It could be anyone went to work today. I didn't spend all day on like the, the DC rivals hypercoaster, just like no lines. Cause like it makes a lot of sense. This is just this person talking to like their wife or what have you. And it makes a lot of sense. Cause it's no, cause it's Wednesday. If you go to a theme park on a Wednesday, there's no, no lines. And the daddy in question, he's a big roller coaster head.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah, it could be something like that. This is just surprising to me, given the character of the hypothetical guy we're talking about. Oh, I've gleaned about the hypothetical man. You might know less about the hypothetical man or woman than you actually think. I guess you can never really know a person. Until you fight though. I learned that from The Matrix Reloaded. I mean, okay, let's, let's maybe flesh out our hypothetical person a little bit more
Starting point is 00:45:43 because I need, I don't want to rush into this with a Hasty judgment because I have one. Yeah, my tongue Details about this hypothetical guy too, like how trimmed his pubes. Yeah Looking once how's it? How does he feel about sneezing? Yeah, which he was it for how long after he did it? about sneezing. How itchy was it and for how long after he did it? How often does this person engage with roller coasters in their life? Not as often as they'd like. Okay, well that seems like a pretty good reason but they think about them somewhat often. Oh yeah, I mean why wouldn't you? They're exciting but they're on rails. I think they're kind of scary. They scare me too much and I don't enjoy
Starting point is 00:46:23 them because I'm scared while I'm on them. Me too, unless it's like the little, the little road runner one, you know, just like a little, like a medium roller coaster that's kind of for children. Kind of the ones that are for kids. I think that's fun. It's yeah. Yeah. The ones that have mild thrill on the app.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah. Yeah. Where we can all just like look around and laugh because we know we're not in danger, but sometimes you've got to want it's too fast and you go, my body's telling me that I am in danger. Yeah. No, and in this hypothetical, we're talking the max thrill rides. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Ooh, tower of terror? You wouldn't get on the tower of terror, would you? Well, but I won't be going there because I'll be going one. Sorry. But I still got the big green one. Who's going to be going where? Shit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:03 We're probably terrible friends, I guess but when is your birthday September mid September. I swear to God. I just went to your fucking birthday lunch. Sorry. I'm having a lot of just happened What's going on? Okay, I think that's nice. But like I've never really thought about going to an amusement park alone. Is that weird? Yeah, I would never sweet to do I don't know solo bowl over an amusement park, I don't think. Well, as a parent, I'll say... As a concerned parent. As a concerned citizen and parent, I'll say I kind of get it based off of the age a hypothetical
Starting point is 00:47:41 person's kids could be. Yeah. Because... Instead of how much of a's kids could be. Yeah. Yes. Because, like. And sort of how much of a hassle they might be. Well, you can't go on anything with them either. Can't go on anything. Even if they were there.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Can't do anything, yeah. It's like they're not coming on the fucking Green Lantern, whatever it is with you. Yeah, I went to Warner Brothers movie World Hollywood on the Gold Coast recently with my kids, and my kids are like at the age where they can just kind of stand in a line for 30 minutes you know it's not it's not a problem not a big deal and also they wanted to go on scarier stuff than I did that kind
Starting point is 00:48:16 of thing so like whereas if it was five years ago and you said to me do you want to do that with kids I would have been like no because when your kids were at a certain age standing around is not your friend you know and I saw like a lot of a lot of younger kids at movie world having a not great time you know so I can kind of get it kind of get it on that front. Also hypothetical people, you know, they should do some self-care for themselves, but it just means that they might be hypothetically setting themselves up for a difficult hypothetical conversation with their hypothetical children in the future. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:57 When they say, yeah, I've been there. When? Just when did you go? Just kind of by myself. Didn't really take you guys. That's an adults only day, actually. Yes. That's not bad.
Starting point is 00:49:10 That's not bad. Yeah. Oh, it went after dark. It was too scary for little ones. Did I, how much would, well, the cost of fuel, hypothetically, I'd say this person lives in Brisbane, getting to the Gold Coast back,
Starting point is 00:49:22 that's gonna cost you like 40 bucks. Oh no, you've got electric, that person has an electric car maybe, so maybe not a problem. Hypothetically, yeah'd say this person lives in Brisbane getting to the Gold Coast back. That's gonna cost you like 40 bucks Oh, no, you've got electric that person has electric car. Maybe so maybe Entry into It's probably more like a hundred something right hundred bucks out of there but like it covers all the rights You have to like pay any extra for anything. No, that's right. There's no like All of the other things are like, you know Oh, you can go behind the scenes or whatever. Get all the photos done and it's just you on the rollercoaster. Smiling pleasantly.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Yeah. Have it a great time. What I'd like. Okay. So this is something where it's something fun that you can do without having to be, let's not say inhibited by hypothetical children, but it's just you, you for one day, your only concern is your own joy. You're not worried about the safety or wellbeing of others. You don't worry about the needs of others. Yeah. You only have to think about what you want in that moment.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'm still, I'm using a hypothetical, you obviously general sort of person, but like if you were someone with two really young kids and you just wanted a full day of doing something you probably couldn't usually just do, why wouldn't you just like get a hotel room and just do nine hours of straight gooning, just pound that penis into a paste, just bring a couple of laptops, set them up next to and around the TV, put a bunch of different videos on there and just keep on going, even if it hurts. Yeah. Look, hypothetically, this person might be interested.
Starting point is 00:50:56 However, that might be a different conversation with their wife. I think she'd understand. Yeah. Hey, I'm going to, um, I'm going to Warner Brothers movie world. I'm going to the nearest Ibis hotel and I'm really going to get it raw. I'm ripping the skin off that thing. I have, I have one bag that's all power adapters and chargers.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Um, I, I think that this is like a, this is like a pretty scaled up version of, just taking yourself to the movies. Yeah. See, I've been thinking about this recently cause I have a trip to Tokyo in a few weeks, which I was going with my partner, but I've had a breakup. So now I'm going by myself,
Starting point is 00:51:44 but I really wanted to go to Tokyo, Disney. Now I'm like, is that, is that a strange thing to do by myself? Because it's different. Cause I'm not, I don't like any of the scary rides. So then I'd just be there on the like Winnie the Pooh like honey ride. You don't have to have a disagreement though, as to where, which rides are you going to go on or when you're going to get lunch or when you've had enough and you want to sit under a tree for a while or what have you.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I think sometimes I personally need the disagreement. I need someone who wants to do stuff more to push me to do stuff and then I'll do it and enjoy it, whereas, because if I'm left to my own devices, a lot of the times I'll happily do nothing. Yeah. I'm like, well, that seems like a drain. I'll just sit. Get a beer and like hang out'll happily do nothing. Yeah. I'm like, well, that seems like a drag. I'll just sit. Get a beer and like hang out with Goofy.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yeah. As soon as anyone leaves your house, you kind of go into like the kind of default Sims behavior, which is sitting in front of your computer and jacking off. Look, looking to get, looking to get a Goofy son. What? I'm Goofy son, I respect it. Looking to get a rebound, yuck. We're going to get a rebound. Huck.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Oh man. Just walking around with the six pack of Asahi's you've smuggled them in, offering them to every goofy you see. Try to find a cool goofy. You know he wants one. You know one of those goofy's wants an Asahi. It must be hot in there. It must be hot in there.
Starting point is 00:53:01 How long you been working for today? Yeah. You want a cold one? They're pretty warm at this point because I've been carrying them for four hours, but come on, man. Sit down over here. Summer, what are you doing, Lucy? You speak English?
Starting point is 00:53:14 When am I going? Yeah. In like two weeks. Oh, summer. Okay. Yeah. It's going to be hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:22 A beautiful Tokyo summer. Hanging out with Goofy. Hanging out with Goofy. Hanging out with Goofy? Getting a rebound, yuck. Oh, you're going to do the best Instagram posts. Those ones where it's like desperate woman trying to reinvent herself. Oh yeah, you know it.
Starting point is 00:53:34 And just putting out a lot of joy that's not reflected in your eyes. It's going to be beautiful. Just really fake. Move back. Yeah. You and Goofy, like really high up angle selfie. You know, he doesn't want to be in the picture. Literally turning away.
Starting point is 00:53:50 You're kind of holding the back of his vest. Why has she posted the caption? Nevertheless, she persisted with a photo of a blurry goofy running away. Hey, Xenials. They probably, um, oh boy. Shit. Xenials? Xenials.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Oh, you don't know about Xenials? I thought we were going with Xenial. I've been saying Xenial. I've never really said it out loud though. Xenu. Xenials really said it out loud though. Like Xenu. Xenu. Xenials. Hey, going to Japan.
Starting point is 00:54:28 That is the Millennials equivalent of going to Thailand. I don't know if that applies to Xenials. We talk about Xenials in Xenial Watch. Xenials of course. Gen X slash millennial cuspers. Oh, cuspers? They're cuspers. They're teetering on the edge.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Yeah, we're talking about people that are almost there. Am I a digital native or am I sort of more of the old school? Ah, I can't fit in. That sort of stuff. Yeah. Um, this is actually, I just wanted to talk about one tweet that really pisses me off, but I'm going to try and generalize it by talking about, um, I've seen stuff of this genre for like every generation that exists, just posts sort of worded in this way.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Um, and I'll see if you guys can maybe have a guess of what the thing about it is that pisses me off. Uh, this post, it doesn't matter who it's from. Here we go. Shout out to my fellow Xenials, aka the Oregon Trail Generation, born between 1977 and 1985. How is becoming an adult during 9-11 hitting your professional stride during the 2008 financial crisis and experiencing a global pandemic during your childbearing raising years messed with slash impacted you. Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Hold on, wait. You mean to tell me that in the 40 or so years you've been alive, stuff has happened? Yeah, stuff occurred to you because you were born between 1977 and 1985? History didn't cease the day you were born, you stupid fuck. So- Lady, they shot the, or it might be a man, I don't know. Who is this? They shot the president on live TV.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Yeah. And it wasn't even like a funny way to get shot, his fucking head exploded. Shout out to my fellow silent generations. How was having the president's head explode during your childbearing years? I'll tell you what, my existence is hollow because all the rocket explosions I see, unmanned and it's boring. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:56:36 I didn't get a challenger disaster. What was that in the 90s? Was I around for that one? You might have been. I think you were alive. We 100% got the one% we got challenged we 100% at the Challenger it's so like especially the 86 I wasn't alive for long no the other one the other one what what other one there was two there was two two space shuttles that blew up one on the
Starting point is 00:57:03 way up hey Columbia Challenger on the shuttles that blew up one on the way up. Columbia and Challenger. Challenger on the way up. That was 86. Columbia on the way down. Chalambia, Chalambia. Chalambia. You got Chalambia? That's a beautiful Chalambia.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I just invented a new South American country and I think you're all going to love it. Oh, you're Cholombian. Chubby Colombians. You must try Cholombian cuisine. Is mostly butter. I think maybe my favorite bit she uses in this is becoming an adult during 9-11. Yeah. What does becoming an adult mean?
Starting point is 00:57:39 I'm sorry, we've got 9-11 as our thing. Did 9-11 happen during your bar mitzvah? You were alive during 9-11. Congratulations. A fucking lot of people were. Yeah. Like a ton of people. Like most of the people alive now.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Except the ones that died in 9-11. Probably. Yeah. It's one of the big tragedies of 9-11 is the people that died. I don't think there's a more formative time for 9-11 to have happened that would make it worse on an individual. Like I think it was kind of fucked up and weird seeing the footage on TV when I was 11 years old, but I don't think it's been formative to my personality. I don't think being like 30 and seeing it, how old
Starting point is 00:58:23 would they have been? 24? Being 24 years old and seeing 9-11 would have coloured my life for the rest of my life? Yeah, probably not. I mean, I feel like 9-11 made, well, went a great strides to making us the posters we are today, right? Hardened irony worries. Yeah. Because of 9-11.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Well, if you can't find 9-11 funny, then what can you find? Just pack it in now, you know? Well, so using like the pandemic again for being like specifically during your childbearing slash raising years. Well, first off, no one is having kids. So that didn't really impact anyone. Yeah. Yeah. years? Well, first off, no one is having kids. So that didn't really impact anyone. And also probably worse for, I'm going to say school kids. Who just straight up didn't see their friends
Starting point is 00:59:12 for like two years and they probably just permanently fucked them up. Yeah, just didn't go to school for like two years. It's made them all fucked up in their brains. Hey, how about a bit of sympathy for those of us who were stuck at home with those kids? Yeah, that's just it. They're awful children for all the time that they weren't sleeping. Or like 18 year olds who just didn't get to have the like formative social experiences of going out. Like it was fucking bad for everyone. It sucked deluxe.
Starting point is 00:59:36 I don't think it being during my hypothetical like childbearing slash raising this, we really are talking to Andrew and Theo here because you guys are Xenials. When does Xenial end? I'm not. You're cusping. You're actually cusping on the cusp. Because Theo, you're, oh, you're 87, aren't you? 86.
Starting point is 00:59:55 I can never remember how old you are. I'm not cusping. I'm straight in. Andrew, you're in the Xenial zone. I believe so. 87 and 83? I'm in there. But why have we got to fucking like put a label on everything? Is this just because we already had to have the thing where, you know, we had elder millennial
Starting point is 01:00:16 before. This is what that is. Elder Millennials is basically they can be so interchangeably. Elder Millennials and then there's like Gen X and yes, you know what, like people are fucking annoying about it because Generations are just like a broad Encompassing term. Sorry if you don't fall super cleanly into one and you've got to keep making like Subbrackets to satisfy yourself into the idea that you have some Category you can put yourself into to say there, it's a little bit of my identity.
Starting point is 01:00:45 You don't need a label, man. You're just existing now. You're just existing now, calm down. I'm just a human being. Everyone wants to be fucking sorted into a Harry Potter house so desperately. So badly. Star sign, fucking Myers-Briggs type,
Starting point is 01:00:58 you're fucking weird. Well, let's not compare some things that are real and not real, so. I.Q. score, Mensa categories. Why does it fucking help so much with people's understanding of themselves to be lumped into a broad category? Why can't you just be you? You are beautiful probably.
Starting point is 01:01:18 I do agree with you broadly Ben, but I did do a survey the other day, which kind of, which told me which Sonic character I was, and that was very helpful to me to find out that I was Sonic slash Tails or something. I was cusping. I was cusping between Sonic and Tails, I think. I did see that sort of popping off in the Discord or while people are using it kind of as a proxy for doing the RADS R test.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Yeah. I didn't really understand what was happening there. I actually like when people post in the discord and they categorize us for as like the Ninja Turtles or something. Could we have a little bit more of that? Inside into how I'm perceived. That would be nice because all the other stuff, diagnosing us, things of that nature. Don't do anything where you have to really dig into our sort of inner lives or our personal lives
Starting point is 01:02:08 But do just pick something where there's a group of four people and Which are the Seinfeld characters? Yeah, which are friends are we and which ones did you have to execute to like thin the hurt? Well, that was definitely an episode of the podcast but to Vista Which ones did you have to execute to like thin the hurt down the fall? Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was definitely an episode of the podcast, but to Vista, thank you so much for listening. I hope you went to the live show. That's all I can say at this stage because it is in the past at time of you hearing this.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Oh, it was crazy. Yeah. It was fucking, can you believe? It was off the chain. But nothing bad happened as well. Yeah. The people at Polonia still think well of us. I'm still on nice terms.
Starting point is 01:02:50 We're allowed back. People around that place, they're gonna ask us back I think. Yeah. We will chat to you maybe on the bonus episodes if you feel like signing up. Patreon.com slash punto vista. Otherwise you gotta wait a whole fucking week. It's crazy. You spend that week. Got'll get some fucking better.
Starting point is 01:03:05 You're like, oh where's the Pontavista? Oh where's that episode? Oh I can't wait. You're not cussing over the new episode are you? He wouldn't be cussing the Pontavista would you? We'll chat to you soon. Bye! Bye!
Starting point is 01:03:24 Bye! Bye! Bye you soon. Bye! 隠れやすことが何でもない 帰り道さえ星がさすがよ 友達みんなまじかぜる気や
