Hello, and welcome to Hello and welcome to Buta Vista. Episode 409, I am Ben and I am here at the annual Bunta Vista voluntary memory expunging day where we use a drill press to get rid of the dumb shit taking up space in our memories that we don't need anymore. Today I'm getting rid of the perfect recollection I have for a handful of anime music videos I saw when I was 13 that were formative in my music taste. Now with a gentle touch of a selectively applied 13mm drill bit, I'm clearing out the AMV for

Engel by Ramstein, set to footage from Evangelion. Gone now is the AMV for Chopsuit. set to FMV sequences from Final Fantasy 10. And especially gone now is the AMV for Politic by Coldplay set to footage from Last Exile. Come on. Come on, dude. In fact, I'm getting rid of anime entirely. Goodbye, Hibert A Redmay, Chobitz, Bacarets, Bacaretsu, Tenshi, Sergeant Carrero.

Now I can finally remember stuff from books I read a week ago. Lucy, what are we forgetting? Oh, what am I forgetting? Yeah, I mean, you're like a noticeer, and a Rememmerer, so you've probably got like a ton of stuff. And a dark empath as well while we're... She is a dark empath. She uses it for evil.

Well, see, the issue with me is I just don't really feel shame about my previous decisions, things I enjoyed. How do you do that? Yeah, I don't know. I guess you just be like a perfect person. It's like you never done anything weird or wrong in your life. But I did have a brief period of dressing really like Harajuku girl and going to the manga library at my university. Hell, yes. So let's get rid of that.

Can we get that up on screen? No, let's stitch that. What we were reading? Mark, can you close that? Mark, open that up and leave it open? I don't remember. Based on, well, I mean, based on what you said before we started recording this, fruits basket.

Are you into those sort of the romance kind of ones? Yeah, absolutely. What about romance between perhaps like two? Two beautiful 17-year-old boys? Yeah. At high schools. So know what, let's ditch a lot of Comic-Con stuff. Let's ditch, like, Kingdom Hearts cosplay, Keyblade.

They used to have a big keyblade above my beds, like a big wooden keyblade. Yeah, let's ditch that, actually. You mean, were you participating? Was I participating in. Yeah. You're not dressing up as goofy. I'm in Kyrie mode, obviously, not Sora. Jesus.

Theo, what are you getting rid of? What is, how long do we have here today? I mean, let's start with some top line items for shit you just don't need in there. You don't need my top line item, but second on the list, perhaps, is like, all of the progressive rock albums I purchased in my mid-teens that I have, like, filed melodies, track listings, et cetera, in my head, and also like a rating as to how prog they are or not. So I can probably just kind of ditch a bunch of that thread. threshold, get rid of that. Can we just dial back a little bit? Yes.

Because you decided to open this up by being like, well, there's one super juicy one that I don't care to mention. Very shameful. Yeah, I couldn't simply talk about the top line most exciting item. That's correct. So second is the Prague albums. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Okay. What else did I, man? You memorizing polonaise? What were you doing? What can't you tell us? God, I wish. I wish I could, man. Then I wouldn't need them anymore.

I wish I could memorize Pornham's. Yeah. Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind in reverse. It's kind of not similar. Get them in there. I wish I could do that thing that's all about forgetting, but for remembering. Fordance. Yeah.

One thing. Andrew, what don't you need anymore? I was trying to think about this while you were talking and I was like, maybe I've already done this. Yeah. Maybe I've already jettisoned all of my most embarrassing. This is like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. It's already gone.

Yes. Because you're fighting out that it's already gone. Yeah, yeah. You already had the procedure. Yeah, and you're on your pink cycle. Yeah, and I'm thinking about, yeah, the times that I really embarrassed myself in front of other people or embarrassed other people. Oh, yeah, that sucks. Get rid of it.

Oh, those are no good. You should be able to do a two for you and the other person as well. get him in to be like, hey, I know I said that, and that's sucked out loud. I know that now with the benefit of like a decade of hindsight, right? To make it up to you, I've got a voucher. Yeah, a guy with a drill is coming to your house. Both of us, yep. Oh, this drill I'm holding?

Oh, uh. Yeah, I've got it on rental from the Eternal Sunshine Store. Hey, let me pry you real quick. I'm just going to par you. Just real quick. Real fast, in and out. No, not like that. nothing weird.

Oh, there's no E! Yeah. Yeah. I can see how you thought that. When I say I'm going to pie you, it's nothing weird. It's just a drill. You're going on in your head. Nothing weird.

The drill is your friend. Yeah. It's going to make that stuff disappear. Yeah, maybe I have already been blocking some stuff out. Because as I try to conjure each of these memories, the whole room just vanishes from me. Yeah. It's probably all the weed you've been smonking, am I right? That doesn't.

heard anything. Oh, hang on, no, I've got one, yeah. I've got one where I turned up to like a work team day, so we didn't have to at Domino's, so we didn't have to come in uniform. I came in one of the, one of the teen boys looked at me and said, hey, nice color blocking or color matching, right? And so they kind of held into that one for a while because I was probably wearing like red board shorts with black socks and white shoes.

Were you wearing a red shirt? and red shorts and red shoes. Probably wearing a red shirt and red shorts and black socks. Do you think maybe the feeling that you had completely unknowingly sort of violated a social thing that everybody else was aware of has made this stick out as a really kind of important memory? I think that's very astute of you, Ben, and I would agree, yes, probably. Interesting.

Now I understand that there are rules. I do get that there are rules now as to how to dress. And for me, it's like when they did that experiment on the people where, you know, you press a butt of them, they sit them down in front of like a stock ticker and say, hey, you press a button. And if you press it at the right time or in the right sequence, it's going to make the stock go up. And of course, it's just completely random. That's how I feel dressing up. So I can change things. But it's going to be completely random when I exit the door as to whether I've chosen the right things or just something that makes me look goofy.

There are kind of subtle indicators. Like sometimes you'll sort of sit down to record, like, an episode of the podcast. Yeah. And maybe I've kind of, like, worn a kind of very comfortable, casual, maybe, like, thermal. And then a shirt over top? A practical garment. Practical garment. Maybe I'm a little bit, maybe I'm still a little bit cold.

I throw a sleeveless vest on top of that. And, like, you know, it's like eunicle or whatever. So it's not like bad. It's not ugly. No. Oh, I've got one. I've got one I really want to get rid of. You just remembered something you needed to forget?

Grace. Yes. Doing yourself active damage. Like Chef John from Food Wishes says, it's never too late to remember what you forgot. Yes. I would like to get rid of the memory of the time that my parents took us to, like some friends of theirs,

we didn't know these adults, they weren't our friends, you know. Took us over to this other house for lunch. And this family, they also had kids and a dog and their kids were out the front throwing the ball for their dog and they did that and they gave me the ball to throw for their dog and I threw the ball and it went into the street and their dog chased it and was instantly hit by a car.

Oh my God, Andrew. In front of everybody there. This is a traumatic story. I don't want that one anymore. You should have kept that one forgotten. This was kind of maybe about like just like bits of information that you remembered or sort of like. Anime.

No, that one's a real specific thing. That's a real specific thing. I would like to not recall sometimes anymore. Bruttle. Put it back in the murky water. The dog lived just for the record. Oh, okay. The car screeched to a hole

and it kind of hit the dog in the head. It had like a bit of a, maybe a boxer-style cut eyebrow. So it was bleeding, but it was still running around and stuff. No busted legs, no amputations or anything. But it was a pretty mortifying thing to do within five minutes of arriving at a house full of people you don't know. That's pretty far of their kids. in most cultures that's considered very dishonorable behavior

yes oh hey when you're a podcaster you have to be very judicious about what dog injury stories you tell on the podcast and we like to keep you informed about which ones those are sometimes as a little PSA we talk about other PSAs in the PSA segment P. S.A. PSA. P. Silosybin makes you trip. P.S.A. P.S.A. Soudanem is a fake name. P. SIPA. P. Sikosis is illness of the brain. PSA. P. Sigmund, which is where we say. Important things, that's a PSA. The segment, attention you should pay. To the Roomte BSA.S.A. This is from the law firm Schlichter Bogard. I sure do.

Bogart that schlichter. Did you lose money on the Cardi B. Wap coin? Join the class action investigation. Finally. Some justice. I'm 10 ground in the hole of the Cardi B. Wap coin. Remember Wap?

Remember Wap? We were talking about Wap last week. You guys remember Wap? Last week in a big way. Last week and we're talking about Wap? Welcome to our new podcast, Wap Attack. I, like two weeks ago maybe drove past someone wearing a like big, like oversized sort of shirt dress thing.

It was a very specific shade of green and it just said, brat across the front. Yeah. And then I was like, oh, wow, do you remember how for like a month that was the only pop culture thing there was? It's more than a month. Brat summer, maybe three months. It was more of a season. It was more of a season. That is true.

How long summer is. We don't know. And then the election went to Donald Trump. So that was sort of a referendum, I think, on Brat Summer. Kind of the end of Brat Summer, yeah. The country, the United States decided Brat Summer was over now and forever. And I just, like, that just popped out entirely. And I was like, wow, I never thought about that again.

but this person out there rocking the brat shirt probably turning up to brunch being like... Beautiful. Check this out. Because like I don't think Zoomers realize that that's going to be like the... You know like the Helvetica and shirt that's like John Paul? Is it Helvetica? You know the one I'm talking about.

That's what your brat shirt is. Paris, Rome, Berlin, Townsville. Yes. I had a Rizzer and old dirty bastard and all them guys, you know? You could do it then, though. You could do it then. It was leaked. Yeah.

I think I had one that was a like community. it was like Jeff and Britter and stuff that was a real moment in time we should make merch like that shit yeah yeah fuck

here can we could get people to buy and wear Andrew and Ben and Lucy yeah fuck that'd be so grim there's just how much time would have to pass before it becomes ironic and not just late like I think we need another 10 years

maybe I think what we can do now is the big slogan T's oversized shirt that's like download podcasts not bombs or something we'll come up with something better off I can't

did you invest in the Cardi B promoted Wapcoin and lose money again to the point big time I'm fucked I'm in the hole we're actually as part of the

they're coming for me That's Wapcoin put me in the hole. As part of the Buntavista AGM, we did collectively agree to reinvest 75% of the show's profits into Wapcoin. Yeah, this is like when the Australian sovereign investment fund invested in Quibi. We've done the same thing. And then the second year in a row, when it was tanking really bad, we all took a vote and we all agreed, buy the dip. Yeah. Wapcoins coming back up.

Because you've got to buy low and sell high. That's how you make money. You got a hoddle. That's finances. That's something? I'm bearish on Wapcoin Or the other one Whichever one is

Yeah I think you're bullish Yeah Ben's definitely bullish I'm bullish on Wapcoin Meme coins like Wap are often promoted For fun or hype But when insiders manipulate the market

And leave investors holding worthless tokens The consequences are anything but a joke Let me just Maybe you're so close There's two parts to this there's two parts to this sentence and with a comma in between and I feel like you're so close

to connecting the two things that okay so what's the first part before the comma they promoted for fun or hype yeah and then comma yeah but then sometimes they're just worthless tokens what's a bit after that

consequences are anything but a joke uh keep going that's it that's the whole thing yeah actually maybe it was a whole sentence yeah all right interesting Okay. Blockchain analysts and investors now claim the Wapcoin was part of a crypto scheme

where Insiders inflated the price for profit and cashed out leaving everyday buyers with steep losses. What is an everyday Wapcoin buyer? Every day, mom and pop, Wapcoin buyers. Yeah. Do you think that crypto is more... Is this more common than we think? Like, are there like co-workers that we've got that are out there buying shit like this? Predominantly co-workers.

Like co-workers? It's a definite co-worker behavior. She's in the co-worker and Cousin's own, for sure. Cousinship for real. There has to be, though, right? Because there is so much money that goes into them. And I know, like, the numbers are probably hard to grasp, right? Where it probably only needs, like, the exposure, I think, for a Wapcoin is enormous.

I only need a few people to do this for it to be, like, a few million bucks. And then, but all of them do this, right? like they somehow get like Wapcoin value ceiling of like 400 billion dollars yeah it's it's briefly larger than Boeing

and then they and then they just take all the money out yeah for like 10 minutes Wapcoin is bigger than Trinidad and Tobago yeah I would like to that's gone I would like to clarify I would like to rug pull some people on a Wap coin

yeah well I'd love love to be the person at the start. I'd love to do a hock to a coin. Oh, I'd love to do a whap pull job. Yeah. It'd be so good. Easy money and it's fun to do you. And it's victimless. It's a victimless crime. Yeah. I mean, apart from all the people that like kind of put money into it expecting their to either hold their value or increase in value. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't consider them as people. If we if we come back to our scamly rubric. Yes. You know, this is this is people who really

that money was burning a hole in their pocket and someone came along and said what if I could magically turn your money into 10 times as much money for absolutely no reason where nothing of any value or any services being exchanged

based on a popular meme you will just magically become much richer than you are now what about that? What if you gave me some of your money in a return I gave you this handful of magic tokens. Yeah.

You plant them in the ground. Next thing you know. It's from the song. You'll be very rich. You know, from that song? You might know it from the radio version maybe. Yeah. I think there should be like, we should nationalize rug pulls.

Honestly, like, it's like when they do fishing training at work and they send you like bizarre emails and then they, you know, you go and click on the link and then you get in trouble, right? And they rub your nose in it or what have you. They should just be doing this for rugpoles all of the time, just to get you used to the concept that if someone comes around and asks you for some money, promising you to pay you more money back afterwards, that they are just going to take your money and they're going to walk away with it, right? Like, it's a pretty simple and time-tested concept. It's a classic scam. Classic scam.

Hey, can I have some of your money? So you think we take it and reinvest it back into the economy? I don't really give a shit what you do with it. Yeah. I don't understand how any of this shit works and I think that I'm like I'm probably better for it but like you just make up a coin you're like oh that's the Wap coin

Yeah so you can Which is legit Yeah There are different like blockchains or what have you That allow you to build stuff on top of it Like you can just include some metadata with them So there's popular chains that people will then go and Put their coin on

and then the coin is just like another thing in the stock market where people are agreeing on the price because it's what people are buying and selling it for. But it doesn't reflect any real money. Any material or any potential profit of any kind. It doesn't actually... Well, that's exactly right. And usually what happens is when they get started

because they have, before it's announced, it has zero value, right? No one is purchasing the Wap coin until they know about it. Someone will just go in and, you know, the person that sets it up will go, well, I have a million Wap coins just for thinking of it, right? And then they push it out

so that suddenly the average price of a Wap coin is whatever inflated value. It's completely arbitrary. And then they're like, well, I'm just going to sell all of these while people are buying. Yeah. And then the whole thing collapses.

And then they just do this as many times as they want. It's so nice not being stupid as fuck. That's, you know? Yeah, to go like some things are too good to be true and in fact most things are most things in the world are bad right like especially around money they're they're they're they're gonna do you damage yeah nothing no one's just showing up to your thing to say hey you know are you gonna have would you like some

extra money they might for me maybe someone else no with a face like that someone came to my house offering me the richest from wapcoin i'd believe them if you purchase wapcoin and lost money, you may be eligible to join a class action lawsuit investigating the alleged scheme. To participate, you'll need to provide proof of purchase and financial loss. Acceptable documentation may include receipts, confirmation emails, wallet addresses. So they'll inspect your wallet, I think, is part of this. Wallet inspector, yep. Do you have any extra money that you want us to keep safe?

Yeah. We'll bring the wallet. You just bring the money. Yes. Like, obviously the bad guys in this are the people that are making the things. and then selling it to people. And there are probably legitimate victims. But it's so hard to imagine someone who's like,

well, I'm down to my last $2,000 and I'm not going to be able to afford to keep living like this. You know what? I think I trust Cardi B personally. I put my faith in Cardi B. I'm putting it all on Wapkeloin. This is going to pay off big. And then finally I can get out of the hole. It's very hard to imagine the person that sees the only like guiding light out of their situation is

Wapcoin, but they've got to be real. You'd be better off going to the pokies, you know? Yes. I have been taking my financial advice from Cardi B. Yes. Oh, man, it's just... A thousand times, yes. It's real fucking grim.

I thought as a little bonus addition to this one, because I really enjoyed Schlictor Bogart as law firm, I've got a little tiny mini-gohan for you here of law firms that either are in or operate in New York. Here we go. Wolf Popper. Couch White. Constantine Cannon.

That's nice. Blank Rome. It'll never happen. Dopp. Dopp. You can't just have one guy. You got to have one guy. You got to have a partner.

You got to talk to Dopp. We don't need another guy. At that point, just use your first name as well. Yeah. Yeah. Tuddle Yick. Keenan Bean.

Golom and Longo. What? No more double talk. Talk to Golom and Longlo. Gar Silp. Foley Hoag. Gordon, Gordon and Schnap Revis Page Jump

Troutman Pepper Lock That's nice Tata Krinzky and Drogan Drogan Fager, drinker, Biddle, and Reith It's too many, it's too many now And lastly Scaden, Arps, Slate, Miga

and flam. Too many partners. Yeah, you've got to have between two and four, I think. Five, too many, one, too few. I think it's two or three. Absolute ceiling. These are probably, Americans are probably listening to this and being like, yeah, I talk to these guys every day because of the various reasons that you need to talk to law firms in the United States.

All right, we are kind of stunned. I don't know about if you guys have noticed this. we're kind of getting like not personal injury legal lawyers but more like the kind of car crash lawyers that are very popular in America I'm seeing billboards for those guys over here and you know that's sort of Americanization

yeah maybe it's just Queensland that seems like one of the things that we could chat about and stuff we could chat about it isn't we're talking about something different in stuff we should chat about here comes some stuff we should chat about stuff we should chat about boom to a list of stuff

stuff to chat about the fusion chat about here comes some more stuff to chat about we're chatting about snows yeah baby I think I'm going to start this one with a little bit of self-reflection

if I may I don't want to beat myself up but you know one of the things two of the things I think I rail about on this show is number one people that are like the W.HO says bacon gives you bowel cancer and, you know, I'm going to eat more bacon to, you know,

trigger the libs or whatever, right? It's just to completely... Bacon's back. Spike-based politics. Woke bacon. Exactly. And the other thing is brand loyalty, right, that you kind of go, like, I'm excited to see the next thing that McDonald's is going to bring out and that sort of stuff.

And I've kind of, I've often gotten up on my high horse, which is difficult for me because I don't like horses. And I'm pretty high, too. Yeah. So, and gone like this peasant mindset, et cetera, et cetera. But it happened to me, dear listeners. I purchased a bottle of delicious Pepsi. Not Pepsi Max, not Pepsi.

Yeah, regular Pepsi? Sugar free. I like, like, once every three months, I like some Pepsi. Okay? I just get the taste for it. I don't need it every day. I didn't even know you could really get regular Pepsi. You can get regular Pepsi.

Of course, you can get regular Pepsi. Lucy. What are you talking about? But this time I tasted something wrong. I tasted something different. Oh. And I went, and on the label, now they have flavors 950 and flavors 951 on there. And I am not like a big artificial sweeteners going to give you.

or, you know, these might even be natural sweeteners. I don't know, like, splendor or whatever. Like, I don't think that this is going to give you, like, I think a lot of it you have to balance with the sugar that you would be replacing it with health-wise, et cetera. But they fucked up my drink. There's no Pepsi anymore. It's, they've taken the sugar content.

Safe drink isn't safe anymore. My safe drink is gone to get them, and you know why. You know why, dear listen. to get them from a 0.5 health rating in Australia is kind of that we've got this absolutely bullshit ratings very good health star rating that goes on stuff which is relative to the category that it's in etc etc coke is a 0.5 Pepsi was a 0.5 and now it's a 1.5 on that rating 1.5 that's a 1.5 that's a bad jump and all it took for them to do it was to make it completely undrinkable for me.

I want my Pepsi back. I want the WHO, the CIA, the NSA, Majestic 12, the Better Business Bureau, whoever's responsible for this. Yes. You should threaten them. Give me my Pepsi. What's that's like unhinged letters?

I should write unhinged letters. Write one every single day. Yeah. And now that I'm on Vivance, I've got the drive to as well. Oh, by the way. So, um... Dear Mr. Pepsi. Dear Mr. Pepsi.

I know your hands are tied. Because I've got you under my house. By those bullies at the Helfare rating. By the bullies at Majestic 12. They've got you put those flavors 950 and 951 in the drink. And ruin. I know you wouldn't have ruined it just kind of like to, you know, because of a work mob. Yeah.

Certainly not. You wouldn't be cowtowing to the, to the work mob, would you? Simply just give me my Pepsi back, and there will be no more letters, I think. Yeah, and nothing bad will happen to anyone. Nothing bad will happen to anyone. But if you give me my safe drink back. I want my Pepsi back.

Give me my Pepsi back. You bitch. Pepsi return me. Right, so your stuff we should chat about is that Pepsi is different now. Pepsi is different. This is a little different now. Honestly, like you look back to like the 80s, right, where there was the challenge to Coke's supremacy.

If one looks back. And they brought out new Coke and everyone hated it. It was a big thing. But this one wasn't there. It's just under the radar. You're saying that you're the only ones talking about this? We're the only ones talking about this. I didn't hear about it.

I didn't hear about it through the grapevine, through the internet, through the memetic osmosis we could just made in every day. Pepsi Max is unchanged. Yeah. Hey? Pepsi Max is unchanged. Yeah, because it was already, it already had. And if that's your thing, I'm not coming for you. I don't mind.

If you want to drink a lower sugar thing because you want to drink it every day, it's no skin off my back, right? I don't like the taste. Yeah. I want my treaties. Yes. Theo, this is from 7News.com.com. Don't watch it.

Stock up now. Outrage as Pepsi and Mountain Dew recipes change. I should have been reading 7 News. Or I should have at least had a news alert for Pepsi. I should have a news alert on that thing. I should have a news alert for all of the things in my life that I enjoy that are safe. Just in case they change, just in case they change the recipe for Bolognese. New Balance runners.

Sensible button-up shirts. Dad style blue jeans. PepsiCo has confirmed that it has changed the recipe of the beloved regular Pepsi. They do admit it. They do admit it. They've already made this. change to Sprite, Fanta and Lyft. It doesn't affect me. Fizzy drinks.

I don't like seeing Fizzy drink written in an article, personally. That's no good. Soft drink, I think we... Australia, big, one colour on the kind of word map. Oh, I think you'd use Fizzy Drink if you were talking to a child, I think, because they don't understand the softness of a beverage. True, that's right. I just say everything, I say it's all beer so that they can't drink it.

Yeah. Yeah, this has alcohol in it. Daddy's beer. When well-known Australian influencer Russ Eats picked up on Pepsi's recipe pivot. We got pipped by Russ Eats? Sentiment from his followers was less than positive. Including the comment,

Pepsi has lost my respect. Notice how this sounds pathetic when regular people do it, but for us, this is easily 10 minutes of podcasting. If a guy in an Instagram comments are saying, I'll fucking kill you, Greg Pepsi. I think he's a moron. But when my good friend Theo does it, I think it's hilarious.

Yeah, blow up the Pepsi factory. Drag them away. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I said I'll be writing letters. Mr. Pepsi, we are coming for you. I didn't say that. While we're at it, small update to an old new story.

I did to get myself a snack wrap the other morning. I had a nasty hangover. And I was like, good a time as any. I'm going to get that snack wrap. It was honestly fucking disgusting. It looked late. Not even average, nasty, foul. Actively bad, huh?

Do you think you were maybe not in the right set and setting to enjoy something? See, I thought that would have been the perfect time to enjoy it. Well, the problem is that you were in a setting that requires you to get the greasiest, nastiest fare that McDonald's has to offer. You should have been getting a bacon double cheeseburger. Yes. Yeah. You know? I mean, I still are double cheeseburger.

I'm not sure. stupid. The snack wrap. Whoa. The snack wrap. That's the healthy alternative, right? You shouldn't have got a healthy thing on your hang-go- It was just...

It was just dry. Well, hey, you know what? What would have made it not dry? As if it was a snack whap. I guess. That's like with pussy juice. What did they make? Yeah, I think so.

snack, wet-ass pussy. If we just, if we break that down. Yeah, from earlier in the show. Yeah, it was a callback. Yeah, and we use such insider comedy terms, because to us, this is a job. And we talk about jobs in JobWatch. This is from R-slash-Kohl's.

That is an Australian supermarket. chain for those old Pepsi listeners yeah yeah not anymore

it's a it's a it's a fake it's a pretender yeah brown liquid with the

Pepsi label on it do not trust it you can't spell usurper without some

of the letters from Pepsi search much like a lot it's like a lot of them

into some of the letters wouldn't be in there a few of them at least two I reckon This post is titled

Tips for Nightfill interview Oh that's a bleak headline Oh yeah Hi all I'm 17 Almost completed year 12 And applied for a night fill position team member I've been called in for a walk around interview What can I expect and any advice

I don't know if you guys have ever worked Nightville before I have I thought they just didn't do that anymore they do there's still nightfield people out there i think they do it's just that um my something to chat about is i i just get mad that every time i go into like a bulwurst now it just feels like i'm it feels like i'm interrupting the job of people picking stuff off the shelves for the online orders just made them do it in the daytime now yeah i don't think that's what's happening i think i think

they're doing night fill at night and i think during the day there are constantly people pushing carts up and down, all the aisles, getting stuff off the shelves of people's like internet delivery orders. It's two sides of the same equation. At night, they fill a day they take. They dispense. That would also be true if they weren't doing online orders. The point of the supermarket is you go there and take stuff with you. Correct. That's right. I agree. I'm agreeing with you, Ben. What do you want? Now, the reason I included this idiot here, enough to make fun of this beautiful 17-year-old going, on the start of a wonderful journey. You got a photo up?

They are studying. You should model. I mean it. Yeah, I don't know if you guys have worked in supermarkets before, but some of the types of people that you will meet in night fill, when you work night fill, when you may be doing the early start, so you have a lot of crossover with the nightfill people, or if you work late and you have some crossover with them, I don't think they're being particularly exacting in the interviews for who they are welcoming.

It's a job for big brothers. It is. A lot of big brothers in that job. Older brothers who are like 30 who like moved home. They sleep by day. At night they're either working listening to the most like annoying pop metal songs that you've ever heard in your life. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, night fill, Thursday.

That's game time. Friday. DJ set. At home. Nightfield could be a good job for a young uncle, I think. Oh, young uncle, dream job at nightfield. I'm thinking like sleep tokens getting a lot of rotation at nightfield these days. Yeah, 100%.

Sleep token job. You might put it on the PA maybe. When I, my last time I was doing nightfill, the manager, team leader, I guess, the nightfield was just like a very wise, mid-30-something, how do you say? the word, where you have the qualities of a sage. Is it sagacious or sagacious? He had sagacity. I've never had to say it out loud.

Anyway, it was like a very gentle, very calm, had like a very, very, very long hair into one long braid down his back and then a very, very long beard that was also braided down the front. That's erudite as fuck. Wireframed glasses. He would always be blasting like mostly my sugar, I think, by, taking the phone off the hook. I wonder he was so balanced.

Like he was just like a super gentle guy who was just completely removed from society. Like never saw society ever. He just read hundreds of fantasy books, listened to a lot of metal, smoked a lot of weed, presumably, but was just like a really lovely guy who, whenever I would talk to him,

he would never have any stories from the outside world at all. they're letting in like a specific there's just a part of society that is working night fill that doesn't have any crossover with everyone else yeah you've never seen these guys before ben would you um would you describe this man as perhaps an influential figure in your life yeah yeah i think so hey ash thank you for putting me on the right path i didn't return four or five of your books and i have no way to contact you now i'm so sorry but thank you very much for the three-part H.P. Lovecraft collection. Really, really appreciate that.

I just, yeah, I think my advice to this person, which hopefully they hear if they listen to this podcast, is just don't, like, pull a knife on the person interviewing you, and they will just let you in. You're probably right, yeah. You're done. Like, they are checking to see whether you can get to work consistently. Like, you have a way of getting there. You don't have to rely on your mom picking you up. and making sure that you don't like you're not actively going to kill people you're not going to shoot heroin during the interview

yes yeah you might do like amphetamines maybe oh like you won't be taking any down as on the shift for sure nightfill it's a kind of job flying a plane also a job we talk about planes in plainly speaking uh this is your captain speaking

please return your seat to their upright positions as we are coming in hot on another edition of plainly speaking. This was sent into us by listener Lucy. Thank you, Lucy. Yeah, you're welcome. This comes to us from WKRC. Flight cancelled after passenger has biohazard, diarrhea, and vomiting. Oh.

A United Airlines flight was canceled due to fears of a biohazard after a woman suffered from diarrhea and vomiting. an entire flight. The incident occurred in the summer of 2024 when Megan Rhinnetson boarded her flight from Newark to Newark, Newark, Newark, New York to Newark, New York, New York, to Newark, to elsewhere, Newark to Idiotapolis. You've got to change those names. New Jersey.

It's too close. It's too close. Yeah. After arriving in the United States from Portugal, so she's done the classic Portugal, Newark, Indianapolis. Yeah. In a TikTok video detailing her experience, she explained that she was already feeling nauseous

when she got on the flight. Quote, something is brewing, she said. Don't say that. She says power walking onto the plane. That's going to happen. This is my nightmare. This is my absolute nightmare. Clothes are already soaked with sweat at the morning date.

How bad would your like, pre-dierea premonition have to be to get you to miss the flight entirely? God, it's such a good question, right? If you're at the airport. It's thousands of dollars here on the line. Could you tell them, hey, I can't take this flight because I'm about to be incredibly sick? Yeah, we got two choices here. Either you give me, you let me not go on this flight and give me a different flight for free, or I go on that flight. Like those are two choices here

I gotta tell you you gotta like one of them better than the other You bump me pro bono Or I get on there with the plops Yeah You tell me what you want because these plops are bad Oh no I haven't done any yet You can't prove anything

This is just for me to you You can't prove What's happening You get them just like Put a hand on your stomach And be like you feel that Yeah. You feel that bubble a way?

No, Bueno. Yeah. I feel like the pressurization. Plopo, no Bueno. Why? The cabin pressure makes you not have diarrhea. I feel like, this is my true belief. Cabin pressure makes you.

Is this why you love planes so much? Do you feel held when you're up there? I just don't feel like I've ever had diarrhea in a plane bathroom. I just feel like it does something to your stomach. You know how it's hard to wee when you're on a plane? I don't use the bathroom I don't use the bathroom. Once, one time.

Let's dive into that. Is there something you avoid being. No, we've already spoken about it. I have a phobia. Yeah, it's the standing up and being visible on the plane is absolutely repellent to me so I don't do it. Okay. And of course, then if you're making your way down the aisle

and hovering around by the bathroom, everybody knows. Yeah, everyone's like, oh, he's going to the bathroom. He's going to do wheeze or pooh. He's going to do wheeze or poise. Which one do you think he's going to do? Ted Buck says this. guy's a pisser. Quote, something is happening that I'm not prepared to deal with.

Well, shouldn't have had that many pinches. Hit the tapas a little hard, did we? I don't know what they have in Portugal. Never been to Europe. Don't care to. Wow. Actually, can I, sorry, inject a quick little stuff we should chat about in here. You ever have people that you know over in,

um europe like friends that you love dearly uh and they're in europe on a holiday because they haven't had a holiday for a couple of years or whatever and so they're in europe and they're taking photos and they're posting them on instagram of like really european summer looking stuff they're having like a european summer yeah it's fucking disgusting yeah and you're like fuck off you can't oh you're in tuscany okay oh congratulations having a little spritz in toscanum monts and michel oh might go somewhere bucolic next well I hope you catch bucolia

hop on a plane with it roughly half an hour into the flight riders and sprinted to the bathroom unnecessary plane not that big and proceeded to have extreme diarrhea and vomiting spells for the next 90 minutes

hey by the way don't put that in the paper She posted this on a TikTok. This is so bizarre. She really got to try to get it out there. Extreme is like. What are we counting as extreme? Like extreme diarrhea kills people. That's like dying in the trenches stuff is extreme.

This is somewhere between moderate and extreme. I mean, it must be extreme. She couldn't get out of the toilet. I feel like at some point it's usually done. For 90 minutes. Yeah, especially with diarrhea, it's usually kind of done. Even if I was done at the hour mark, I'm like, you know what? I'll just wait it out.

I don't want to come out. I don't want them to see me. Yeah, no, absolutely. You're not going, I'm attached to that toilet. Yeah. Bolted. Bolted to it, yeah. Hell, I'll have the door open at this stage so they can bring me little, like,

lemon drinks or something. Yeah, can I still get my meal, please? Yeah. I'll take it on the toilet. Turn the tray sideways and slip it through the door. Yeah. Quote, I had more diarrhea than any

human should ever have in their life, she said. How much subjective? Very subjective. Yeah, how much diarrhea should a man have? None, I think. I think it is an aberration. We shouldn't have been struck with this gene. You think about how much of like a miracle the human body is and the amazingly unlikely

things it's able to do to sustain us in consciousness for a human lifetime. And yeah, we still get diarrhea. Yeah, we still have some bad. A Porto. Yeah. Which is, of course, the localised A Porto. You know what they call A Porto in Portugal? Chicken.

No, Porto. There's no O at the start. Porto. It's not a joke. The O's there for us. Yeah, the O's just for us. The O's just for us. Us for us.

Our Irish ancestors. Yeah. Oh, they'll like it better this way. Irish Portuguese fast food. Oh, there's a city of Porto. Yes, that's what a Porto. Does a Porto mean of Porto? Perhaps.

This is one of the smartest, most informative podcast. There is. Rhinetson said she screamed for help, and the flight attendants told her she could spend the rest of the flight in the bathroom and provided her with bags. What was the help going to be? What are the bags for? The bag is for the vomit.

Oh, she was vomiting as well. I thought she was just having... Oh, I thought it was a jazz diarrhea. I have 100% been in a situation where you just want... It's a prayer effectively, right? You want... Asking the universe less than just the people around you. The flight attendant or something.

You know, it's not that they could do something for you. It's just that you would like anybody to do anything to stop this from happening. Yes. I've had a lot of diarrhea at my time, okay? This does not... This rings true to me. Yeah. There is nothing that could make me ask for that help. Me neither.

Not even the fear of what I would have to do after the incident, like to clean up the inside of the place and try to act like nothing ever happened. But one time I want a yell through the bathroom door. Me. At the time I want an etymology section on a Wikipedia page. It's not there. Yeah. Wow. On a porto. A porto. It hurts, doesn't it. I guess your wish came true. They got rid of all the etymology sections. Yeah. On balance, that's good. Yeah.

I think it means port. It just means port. Oh. Like in Spanish, it would be Puerto, I think. It meets port. They've added a no, and then we've added a no. That's true. Everyone gets to add a no. Everyone gets a no.

It's Gert by O's. Yeah. Once the plane landed, all of the passengers de-plained, except for Rhinetson. She explained that she was so weak, she couldn't even walk, so she was wheeled off the plane. Oh, my God. That's so great. She's got a diarrhea of wheelchair. Oh, the wheelchair, because you're emptied out.

And you know, it's a special one because of the diarrhea contamination issue that can't just have the regular wheelchair. Yeah. It's got diarrhea wheelchair written on the back with a label maker. It's got a brown seat. It's got a hole cut in the seat,

a bucket underneath. They're given you a peasant bucket? They're giving you a slop cup under there. I'm asking the, I'm asking for the, um, I'm asking for the, Sky Marshal to euthanase me in the

airplane toilet Yeah, absolutely 100%. The Portuguese sky marshal Just air holy as soon as we hit the ground Open the door and start blasted

Señor, por favor Puerte Purti for please Sir Marshal Ehol

A holo Pistole Pistolero? Rhineton learned that after the plane was fully evacuated, United chose to cancel the next flight off in abundance of caution to avoid a potential biohazard. God, man. I would,

I would, it makes me want to die. Just like, I think the shame would have fixed my diarrhea. I would have just been able to hold it in. There's no way I'm yelling out there. Help me, I've got diarrhea. I'm not doing that. Although Rhinzhen later blamed her illness on an undercooked hamburger she ate the day prior, United employees were afraid that she may have brought an unknown virus with her back from Portugal.

Oh, no. Yeah, Portuguese diarrhea? Classic. It got brought up from the ocean floor. Swipped through the plane She had a few bad Portuguese scallops and then bam The American Empire has crumbled

Yeah Good I was watching a video of like One of those One of those like Rockhound guys You know the dudes who buy Like geodes and stuff

And cut them open And then go Look what's on the inside of this geode Hell yeah I love the inside of geode Yeah that's cool Way better than the outside Way better

Geodes on the outside And he was like Oh, I've bought one of these like Brazilian Enhydrogeodes that are supposed to have water on the inside of them in the geode cavity. He was like, let's see if this one's got it. And he put it into his big crazy chain vice thing to crack it open.

And cracked it open and like the inside of the thing was all full of water. And he was like, hey, check that out. And he got a little pipette and was sucking it out and putting it in a little thing, letting his dog sniff it. And I was like, how many, Millions of years old is this water.

Are you sure that you should be letting your dog have a little sniff and a lick of this? That's alien liquid. Yeah. Are you sure you're not getting any alien goo in there? You don't want to have a little sip of that and then get on the plane to Argentina, is what I'm saying. Or Portugal for that. I don't think she sipped from any G-Oids. We're not ruling out.

We can't rule anything out. She was having a white girl European summit. You might have done anything. We went to the craziest bar. They served all of their cocktails out of the inside of... hydrogeodes. Might have been the hamburger I'm neglecting to mention the water that she drank out of 15 different geodes the day before.

Did you ingest any ancient microbes lately? Now that I think of it. Did you have any sort of like alien panspermia life forms that were encased in geodes for millennia? No, we did have quite a lot to drink last note. Yeah. Temperineo. Yeah, quite a few geodes with the girls. A few geodes in beautiful Portugal.

Beautiful Lisbon. Lisbon geode under the side girl summer in Lisbon. Wow, she can really put those geodes away. Getting geodesic with the girls. United confirmed the incident and the cancelled flight and said it staffed it as much as they could to help It's so funny you get on the phone

We couldn't We couldn't help her entirely That's between her and the diarrhea Yeah And the vomiting I can't believe they let her stay in the toilet On like, in landing That's crazy

Such a great Lucy Braden moment But the procedures Bad, you know, you were shit in the bad. You've got to be, sit down with your seat belt off. Safety, otherwise, an incident could happen. Yeah, against the... There are rules. Rules on the plane. Plain rules.

It's for a reason. It's so funny to be able to call an airline to just be like, hey, we heard this white girl's got a rear so bad at shut down the next flight. Can you guys confirm or deny that? Oh, yeah, yeah, 100%. She made it stink in there. Stinky.

We weren't quite sure what we were dealing with, so we had to cancel the next one. And she volunteered this online. Well, yeah, that's the other thing this article doesn't really go into is that she is an aspiring actress. So this is her, like, viral moment from telling an embarrassing story to billions of people. Yeah. You could not waterboard this out of me.

From buttholes to billions. Yeah, I guess so, yeah I'm sure she'll get plenty of jobs out of this I mean, she probably already has a fucking podcast in a TV show and it probably is like ranked a hundred spots above ours She's probably got a coin Which we tried to mint but never followed through because we don't really do extracurricular stuff for this podcast

Oh hey, if you got rug pulled by diarrhea coin from the diarrhea plane lady, that'd be a scam. We talk about scams in Scamwatch. Warning, warning. Someone has successfully or unsuccessfully attempted a scam and must be judged. This is Samwatch. This is from the Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina. A woman arrested after claiming to be a cop in Mount Pleasant dog napping.

It's not very pleasant. Yeah, Mount unpleasant if you own to dog. A man walking his dog was met with a shock After a woman approached him Claimed she was an off-duty police officer And style his chihuahua police said Yeah Why did you need to say you were an off-duty cop

Like what is the point I think it's to soften them I think it's to soften them up For the thing that's going to happen next Oh yeah you're priming them You get them off balance Like people have that whole thing of You know

Oh if you just if you just walk in somewhere and you act like you have authority, you know, maybe you flash a little badge and everything. People will just kind of go with it. And I feel like that's true up to the point where you're, where it's like, I need to commandeer your chihuahua. Yeah.

I don't, I don't reckon that's, but I'm going with misdirection here. I think this is exactly like the start of no country for old men. And he's not dressed like a police officer, but he did get out of a cop car. So the guy still does what he says up to a point. And she's doing like a really bad American accent to try and disguise it as well. Hand over the dog, please, sir.

Please. The man had been walking his pet along a portion of Bank Street around 9.30pm on August 3rd when a woman told him he'd been mistreating the animal according to an incident report. The woman later identified as Paige Peterson 33 allegedly snatched the dog from him. Pee-P dog snatcher. The man told about pleasant police officers The incident played out like this It's not often you see this format

In a news story It went a little something like this And then followed by like several paragraphs Of this person's uninterrupted recollections It's not a quote It's not in the voice of the person either He asked Peterson to give him his small black and brown chihuahua back She refused stating she was an off-duty police

officer and had a gun. Peterson lifted up the back of her shirt and reached at her waistband implying she was armed. Don't do that. I will fucking airhole you. I'm a cop. I do whatever I want. The man told police he feared for his life. Surveillance footage captured the man yelling for Peterson to return his dog and her responding that she was a police officer who would take him to jail. I'm a special police taking dog. He's so good. Wait. Dog taking squad. Inspector, Sergeant, General Lieutenant, Peterson. They're in charge of the K-None squad.

I didn't know you could just do this if you wanted a dog. I think you could do this if you want most things. It's like if you really want something bad enough, that you can lift it. You can just threaten to kill people and take their stuff. That is an option. It might work better in a country where everybody... It's been an option going for a while. It might work better in a country where people are inclined to believe you when you say,

By the way, do I have a gun in my waistband. Yeah, and I'm allowed to do whatever I want. A good little police officer. 90% of regular Americans. I'm hearing that he was mistreating this dog, though. I don't like that we've only got one side of the story over here. Sometimes I think our instinct to back anyone except the obvious victim is sometimes. I think it's very healthy.

You've got to be skepticism. You've got a challenge. We've got to be. Skepticism. A woman living in a nearby apartment complex was the next to encounter Peterson. I'd like to describe her like she's a phenomenon. It's the invisible man. She told police that Peterson approached her while she was sitting on her back porch

and asked her who the dog belonged to. The woman recognized the dog as her neighbors and she said she told Peterson as much. Peterson Peterson said it wrong It is my dog now That's the most Fucking awesome neighbor behavior To just be like

That's a That's my neighbor's dog That's yeah That's his dog Because a lot of dogs Look the same Yeah But instantly being like

Holy fuck That's I know banjo Peterson reportedly cursed at the woman And said the man Would not be getting his dog back When asked to show a police badge Peterson grew louder

Drawing attention Of other bystanders Peterson then got in a car and drove off, the report stated. Was she at her own house? Yeah, what? And then drove off. You know what? Fuck you all.

I'm out of here. I'm out of enough of this shit. I don't need this. I'm going back to the station. This is the... I'm going back to the cop shop. That's where I belong. This is the guy's neighbor, right?

This is the place where that guy with the dog lived, right? It wasn't her place. Oh, no, you're right. I'm sorry. She was sitting at her own place. I have a much simpler construction for this. Yeah. But why was she there?

Maybe she's experiencing some sort of Memento-style situation. Yeah, she's like, where the fuck did this dog come from? So she's gone. Whose dog is this? Whose dog is this? She has the dog already and she's asking the woman, whose dog it is? Yeah. After having, this is Memento.

I've got this gun. I must be a police officer. It's Lady Memento. Lementa. Getting momented? She's a mementer. A momentress. A momentress?

Memoirs of a momentress. As the neighbors start gathering around, just give her a second. I think she's mamenting. I think she's just mamenting at the moment. She does this. She's a mementatatrix. A group of youths told police that Peterson had approached them as well.

She smelled of alcohol, they said, I bet she did. Peterson told them she had moved to Somerville from Florida, but was in Mount Pleasant trying to track down the cast of Outer Banks, the popular Netflix series. What? Oh, this is an unwell person, I think. So much is happening to them.

Who the fuck is in the Outer Banks? Who are these teens? Who are all these teens? You know, they're just curious teens Oh, the Outer Banks is full of teens It's full of teens That makes it so much weirder Why is she tracking down the teen stars of the Outer Banks? Why is she hunting the teens of the Outer Banks?

She's 33 years old Stay away from those teens She's not away from those teens. Yo, don't approach those teens. Stay away from Chase Stokes Yeah Oh, he's 32 years old, never mind. Oh, okay, approach that celebrity.

if you see him. Then around 10.30pm, Peterson called the police herself. She told operators that someone pulled a shotgun on her, that child protective services need to be called in reference to a group of juveniles and that a man had been kicking a dog, the report stated. Oh, my God. Hearing a lot about this guy kicking a dog, that's all. I don't know if we need to trust the woman that's trying to stalk the cast of the out of place.

She is wearing the liar's mask. She has the mask from the mask on that once belonged to Loki, the Norse trickster god Yeah And it's making her green and crazy She's doing Cuban Pete In Mount Pleasant Oh no I hope the dog

Doesn't put the mask on That'd be crazy Yeah A little dog up to no good All kinds of things can happen Officers tried 12 times to call her back But got no response Hey

She's busy He's got some shit on I guess Come back Somerville police contacted Peterson at her home off Miles Jamison Road The Chihuahua was with her according to an instant report Peterson gave officers a different account of events She maintained she'd been in Mount Pleasant

Looking for an apartment when she spotted the juveniles She claimed they told her that their parents hadn't been home in weeks Peterson explained that she went to retrieve the man's dog After one of the youths told her they had seen the man kick the pet That's when a woman emerged from a nearby apartment With a long gun and threatened her she told police, Mount Pleasant Police asked that Peterson come to the station and give a statement

she never showed up. Yeah, I shan't be coming. I shan't be coming! Two very different series of events containing the same cast of players but playing vastly different roles. This is like... I think something's gone on here.

She was in the start of Mulholland Drive and now she's in the end of Mulholland Drive. Yes. Things have taken a cruel twist with familiar faces or it started cruel and went, I think actually both of them are fucked up. I have no idea what Mulholland Drive's about. Dreams.

It's the city of Los Angeles dreaming about itself. I think. Yeah? It's a really good movie. I'm brave enough to say it. Malholid Drive, a good movie. Wow, can he say that? Hey, this is definitely an episode of the podcast, Punta Vista.

Thank you so, so much for joining us on this crazy ride. If you have any corrections you want to make about how we were using Spanish interchangeably with Portuguese or anything along those lines, it's really not worth your time. Don't hold on. We know we're stupid and we're not ever going to get smarter. The joke is on us.

The joke is not on the Portuguese. The joke is on us. Yes. The Portuguese know we're laughing at ourselves. I think I'm on pretty good terms with the Portuguese. Yes. Please send that feedback to United Airlines. All that stuff happened on their flight. So let them know about it.
