Hello
Leo, can you talk please
and put down a fucking phone
and I can't switch away
Do the podcast like this, Theo
I am Adam
Hello and welcome to Blinda Vista
Episode 412.
This is a Patreon comment from three months ago from Julian Zeefe, who says,
Let Demi do an intro.
Here we go.
Off you go.
Demi, you're introducing the episode.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Bonte Vista.
I am my racist electrician.
And here are the opinions of how too many of people there were when I used to live in London.
With me is my co-worker
Puerto Rican Tim
Go ahead Andrew
Hello
Are there too many of me?
And joining us as well
is the far too big
obviously just was an extra air conditioner
we had that was illegally installed in our bedroom
It's Lucy.
Hey?
Hi.
Also joining us is the gigantic hole that was left in the heritage listed stone wall of our building by the racist and his friend Tim.
Now which one is it?
Which one is the hole?
It's Ben.
Ola!
And here's the complaints line.
for these racists that we hired for the air conditioning to put in.
It's, I want to say your name's Michelle.
Your call is important to us.
Please stay on the line so that we can hear whatever about,
you've got a complaints line for racism?
Well, really, it's just a,
we just called the other racist guy that owns the company.
Okay.
How'd he feel?
Did you give me the feedback you're after?
He said, now listen, listen, what we've done is an amazing job.
And who is stupid,
is both you and the building.
I want to hear more about this hole.
Is there anything in you?
No, I am defined by the absence of stuff being in me.
That is what makes me a hole.
Would you define yourself as having been unbelievably inexpertly filled
after the complaint that somebody may have made?
Yeah, again.
It sounds like it.
Would you say that the filling was done with just like bright white spack filler
and doesn't match the heritage listed brick wall at all?
Can I maybe pull the curtain back for a little second?
So it might be almost impossible to tell, but we didn't tell, Demi, that this is what was happening.
It feels like she might have maybe drawn this.
Just straight from the top of the darkness.
Yeah, this incredible bit of improv, maybe from the whole cloth of her own life.
Did this recently happen to you?
It seems like it's at the forefront of your mind.
So when they installed it, it wasn't recent, but the problems, my dear boy.
When they installed the holes, that continue.
The problems.
Such as water everywhere, such as none of it works, such as still a hole in the wall.
Yeah, the hole.
And the racism as well.
And the racism, too.
He would be like, he was like, hey, I'm, hello, I'm Yugoslavia and I'm 77 years old.
Yeah.
Now, he's legit, okay, people say that I'm racist.
I am not racist.
I just really don't like black people.
Yeah.
And I was like...
And what did the Yugoslavian guy say?
It's wild that like they just can't go a whole like professional visit without making any racist.
I mean, not Yugoslavian.
I mean, I don't have a large enough sample size.
But like that you just can't like make a...
It's like if I showed up to work at your head.
house or whatever and it was like I couldn't like I guess my thing that I'm enthusiastic about
is not racism it's maybe like hollow night silk song as like if I made like a work like a
professional thing if I was doing something professionally that I got paid for and I couldn't
make it all the way through a single one without mentioning hollow night silk song right like how much
I enjoy it how much like mechanics are so you're saying you understand you understand the racist thing
No, I'm saying that it's like if I couldn't do that, right?
But I can perfectly, I can go like an entire like sort of like work session,
like, you know, home call or like if you were like over the phone or like over the phone
or something without mention.
You brought it up.
And this is technically your work and you were sort of bringing up.
What's happening? You found a way to bring up.
This is your work and you did bring it up.
You managed to do it.
Less than 10 minutes in.
And it's real.
It's real and it's playable.
But you're too busy because you're a dad and you have lots of extra work to do.
Yeah, I've done one big work.
Hey, if the game you've been waiting for for years finally came out and you can only have time to play it when you're on the toilet,
that'd kind of maybe be the one thing you didn't want to happen.
We talk about things of that ilk in, this is the one thing we didn't want to happen.
This is the one thing we didn't want to happen.
Hey, Ben, can I pull back the curtain for a second?
I would love it.
No, close it.
Can we keep it closed?
Actually, I don't think I closed it previously.
We've been behind the curtain.
No, it's been open the whole time.
Curtin's been open the whole time.
They've seen everything.
You've seen it all.
I don't know what's there.
I can't go on the way.
I can't what's there.
We said a while ago that we wanted to start
promoting things.
We were having people on the show to promote at the start of the show
instead of at the end of the show.
Because what if people get sick of us?
Yeah.
Just tap out five minutes in.
You know?
That's true.
So before we continue on with the show, hey, hey, Demi, last time you were on, you talked about your upcoming show.
So you want to win a penis pump, which is now the available and beloved show.
All four episodes are out.
I'm very proud of this show.
It's incredible.
You know, I think it's really good and really funny.
I think we did a good job.
We filmed it here, and I built the whole set.
Like, I put up the wallpaper and built our podiums and made all of the prospes.
and made all of the props.
You put the crocs on the TV stand?
Oh, I love the crocs on the TV stand.
That's nice.
Yeah, that was the last minute fix for some glare issues we were having.
I laughed when I saw both the crocs on the TV stand,
which were different from the high-heeled crocs that you were wearing in the episode,
which were different to the same model of crocs in a different color you were.
wearing when I saw you last.
Yeah, I have three of the high-heeled crocs in different colors.
You're so cool.
And then I have the white platform crocs and then I have the tie-died purple crocs that you
saw under the TV.
Yes.
That's a lot of crooks.
Yeah.
But the show is so good.
It's so good.
I'm very proud of it.
It's on the, yeah, go to YouTube.
Yeah, you have to search Demi Lardner.
You can't search penis pump because we couldn't put it in the title of any of the episodes.
but there are four episodes on the Grousehouse channel.
Kind of an SEO problem.
Yes, exactly.
But the show is amazing and we love it.
Grasshouse TV on YouTube.
Go and watch it.
Hit the thumbs up button on all of them.
Subscribe to the channel.
Leave comments and say, make more of this show.
Yeah.
And I will say, oh, specifically the last episode has a very long lasting consequence in it.
So I would watch them in order if you can.
But also, I talked to Lee and was like, hey, whoever is, like, going through the comments and deleting the ones that say, like, I want to kill this broad and, like, and fuck this shit is doing a really good job.
And he was like, as far as I'm aware, nobody's doing that.
So, and I was like, hey, and he's probably telling the truth.
Probably, but then he did say, and if they were, I would not tell you.
I kind of like had this thought in my mind if I if I wasn't completely like work smashed
and with two young children that I'd like to make some like YouTube videos or that sort of stuff
but the other night I was like what if that happens and people like make mean comments underneath
that would probably be bad for me I think on the whole like my whole deal it might just like
kind of pull all my bones out luckily no one's ever mad at us no one ever says
anything mean?
Or if they do, Ben and Andrew never tell me.
I'll protect you.
They do.
They are the kneeling soldier above your bed.
They are the kneeling soldier above my bed.
I sleep peacefully.
Yep.
Actually, I don't sleep peacefully, but they know that I'm getting knives and grenades from
other things.
Yes.
And occasionally we get an email that is so psychologically damaging that I have to share
it.
So that I'm not being burden by the line.
I personally against this policy, but I can see it.
I could also keep those to yourself, like, yeah.
It's about reducing the damage, spreading it around.
Spread it around a little.
I once played a game with Mark Bonano where I was saying, like,
okay, you have to guess whether this was left on an Auntie Donna video
where you are the star or whether I made it up.
Oh, no.
And one of the ones that I said was,
this is worse than the Holocaust.
And he said, okay, I think that must be real because you wouldn't make one up like that.
And I was like, well, you're half right.
It was actually left on one of my videos.
People are so mean.
People are so mean.
How did we get so mean these days?
I think it's just because they're brave.
True.
Brave soldiers.
I think they're just brave enough to say that stuff through the computer.
But nobody's saying anything mean on so you want to win a penis pump videos
because they're so good and we love them so much.
Go and watch it.
If we didn't get more of it, that'd be the one thing.
we didn't want to happen. It's back to the one thing
we didn't want to happen.
Okay. This is from
England-Schengen French News Service, The Connection.
Man rescued by a helicopter after fall leaves him
hanging by his feet on Via Ferrada in
French Alps. I would hate that.
No idea. No.
Now, I'm just going to power through this one a little bit
because it's not, you know.
Like, not good? Yeah, we'll get to
the... Or funny. The juice in a second.
Dingling and dangling. Like a
dangle, Scarecrow.
That's exactly like that.
So much like a dingle-dangle scarecar.
A man in the 60s has been rescued after becoming suspended upside down,
25 metres above the ground in the French Alps.
The Frenchman fell while climbing a Via Ferrada in Valfrecius.
On you.
No down on Tuesday, September 2nd.
Via ferrata is a fixed climbing routes that allow people to access steep and hard to reach places on mountains.
So kind of a cheat?
Kind of a cheat.
He's kind of a cheat.
He's kind of cheating.
A French cheater?
cheating
dishonest French man
They usually consist of
Fix metal handholds and footholds
Railings and cables
Climbers usually clip onto these cables
Or railings to give them protection from falling
The man was trying to help his daughter
Who is having difficulty when he fell
Okay alright
So we're the awesome
Kind of a bummer for the daughter
But yep
It's just like the
That is what he said he was doing
It's just like Rudy Giuliani saying
I was helping that sex worker
I certainly wasn't employing her services
When I got hit by that car
Such a weird thing doing, like, oh, we've got to get...
There's getting in front of it, and then there's getting way in front of it.
There's getting way too in front of it.
Yeah.
Something weird about that Rudy Giuliani guy.
There's something so...
He's so smart about it.
America's mayor.
His harness was loose and became tangled around his ankles.
He was suspended for 10 minutes upside down before mountain rescue, called by the daughter, arrived.
They used a helicopter...
Their ass was out.
Okay, well.
His dick and balls are out?
His dick and balls.
He's bare butt back and balls.
You've kind of, you've skipped a head to the punch line, but I mean, yeah.
Wasn't out.
He was wearing underpants.
I will say he was wearing underpants.
But a consequence of this is that he was hanging upside down by his ankles with his underpants out the whole time.
Oh, man.
That's awesome.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Oh, Papa.
And how old do you reckon the daughter is, Debbie?
Livy was helping her.
A what, three?
I don't know.
He's French.
Yeah, he's French.
He's in his 60s.
His wife is 17.
Jesus, fuck.
You can't be doing that.
Come on.
Demi, I'm just sending the picture of this to your phone, Demi.
You have a squiz at that.
Oh, God.
And sorry, Ben, I know you hate it when people ruin the punch one.
I didn't, I didn't mean, I didn't know.
Well, you're currently a guest.
And you did.
Oh, fuck, that's so funny.
That's so unfortunate, deeply tragic for this man.
He was fine, though.
They circled it too, so I know where to look.
I know.
It's so helpful.
He's the only person in the frame.
He is clearly trussed up by his ankles.
There's a helpful little white circle.
around and be like, this is the bad.
Look at this.
If I had to guess the mechanics
of what's happened here,
and this will maybe help the listener at home
who is attempting to imagine this picture,
is that he's had like his harness on
around his waist and under his gooch,
and he's clipped on to that.
He's slipped and fallen
and like maybe the pants and the harness
aren't quite on as tight as they should be.
Yeah, the pants are too loose.
He's fallen away kind of upside down.
So his pants in his
harness have started coming up but got caught around his ankles so so that the pants are down
to his shins by this point we can see all the underpants but then also his shirt and jacket
have come up yes around his upper torso and head leaving his soft white belly exposed for all the
world to see which I think that's an underrated aspect of it that his jackets come up
That his jacket's come up, he's over his head, yeah.
He's like, I'm feeling chilly, did something happen?
I would hate to slip and accidentally,
and accidentally instantly become the most pinata-oriented man
that has ever happened.
He's so ready to be hit with a broomstick.
So that's a pretty good working theory, Andrew.
I'm going to hit you with a different one.
I reckon he's just taken a dump.
And you know when you kind of pull your undies up or whatever,
and you've got to get from here to there to reach something
and you do that little shuffle with your pants around your ankle
because you're not quite ready to pull your pants up for whatever reason.
And then he's tripped and fallen off a mountain.
That's probably what it was.
It makes sense if he had his harness on and he was clipped on to the thing,
but then he's dropped.
He had to take it off.
I think to take a big stinky dump.
I think that he was practicing the erotic art of Shibari.
Yeah.
Shibare.
He learned the classic beginners mistakes.
Don't start at your own ankles.
I'm glad that's never happened to me.
I'm glad yourself into a pinata.
Into a pinch alps on the cliff.
I think it would be cold.
Look, it's not even...
I think it'd be cold.
It'd be annoying.
You know?
I'd be laughing at my nuts.
Everyone's laughing at my bowl bag.
All your shit.
Three-year-old daughter is hitting me with a broom.
And you know that every dude from that rescue team
took a photo on his phone before they got you out, right?
They were checking around the job.
I just got to check in.
I've got, you know, paperwork.
I've got to kind of, you know what it's like.
Just get you to hold up today's copy of Le Monde.
They did the rounds to make sure everyone had had a chance
to take a photo before starting the rescue.
Yes.
Oh, you got the new pixel?
You got the new pixel phone?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get that out of it.
I only found out recently that it's illegal
to not have the camera sound on
on your phone in Japan.
Is that true?
It was true in Australia.
It was true in Australia for a really long time
and then they decided it was actually very annoying
because it's really easy to take photos
with your camera all the time
and with your phone.
Andrew's been using a chicken.
Are you using one of those old flash
bulbs.
Connected by a USB, you know, put it in the lightning port.
Like 1890s pervert on a train.
Can you just hold still there for two minutes?
I mean, not to be a pervert, but the way to get around that, isn't it just to like take a high quality video and then have the stills from that?
Because the video is not going, video, video, video.
You are living in the 22nd century.
Don't give them upskirting advice on this podcast.
I know, but I'm trying to be proud of me.
They don't need it. They don't need it.
With Demi Lardner.
Remember to go up the skirt.
Oh, man.
Hey, this happened in France.
We're talking about France.
France watch.
You should get the, for the France one, you should get the really annoying French, like, uh, wee-woo.
You know?
The siren?
Theirs goes like, booby, booby, booby, booby, booby.
Yeah, this is like, I'm kind of stupidly.
Yeah, really dumb shittily.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Yeah, and they hit their horn, but it's just a little clown horn.
It's a little, er-uh.
This comes first from the English language French news service.
connection, bucket full of money
found by road in Central France.
Been reading a lot of the
connection, Ben?
Yeah.
The connection?
Police at Central France have launched
an appeal asking the owner of an orange bucket
full of money to come forward and claim it.
Oh yeah, it's mine. Yeah.
That one's mine.
I know that bucket anywhere.
See, look at
this is my line of buckets and you'll see
in the Roy G. Biv.
The O bucket is missing
So yeah, that's my bucket
That's so good
Honey, I just have to go buy six buckets
And we're about to make a lot of money
The Pue de Dome Gendarmerie
Launched the appeal on social media this morning
After the bucket was found in Clermont-Farond
Quote, a small orange bucket
Found on Place de Verdun in Clermont-Farand
with a large sum of cash
He's looking for its wealthy owner, says the post.
Well, they're not wealthy currently, are they?
They're not.
They don't have it.
Also, you can keep that.
If you find a bucket full of money, that's yours.
That's your bucket and your money, I think.
You can keep the bucket.
And you can use the bucket for tasks.
Exactly.
Holding my money.
Yeah.
There's got to be other stuff.
Yeah, probably some other stuff.
I lost my wallet recently and I don't, obviously, I don't get cash in my,
well, it's not really a wallet.
It's a rubber band and it's,
my stack of cards
insane
because I think
well it's just
I just it's a stack
it may as well be a wallet
of your erotic cards
of my own
my erotic
cards
I've got like
like my debit card
has like the thing where like
you can move it
the lady's top falls off
like when you tilt it
um
what bank is that by the way
I
it I know it's like a 15 year old boy
thing to do
but I don't
need a wallet. So I just have the stack of cards and then the rubber band. And I lost the whole thing
because I got like a new bag and it just like fell out. And then this lady found it and was like,
hey, I found this stack of cards. Did you lose it? By the way, your phone number is very easy to
find on the internet. Oh, no. Oh, okay. Well, thank you though. Because of what a big celebrity
you are. Well, she gave me a couple of opinions on my comedy. Oh, my God.
Were they?
She was like, I looked at these videos.
I really liked these ones.
I don't really think I understand this other one.
And I was like, okay.
So where should I get my wallet from?
Fuck, that's going to be so rough that like the way you've organized your life
means that it's not just like your Facebook that's going to come up first,
your personal one, which is great.
Yeah.
It just means, yeah, you've got a bit of an obstacle.
Yep.
Does someone find you?
Have that it
Which probably
We'll beep that
No
No
You don't want to know
About these people
The bucket was found on August 27th
The owner or anyone with information about the bucket
Is encouraged to contact the local chendarmory
So if you know
The provenance of the orange bucket
But you're not the person that had it
Yeah
You're like oh that's my friend
Or if you have any interest
interesting thoughts or trivia about buckets generally.
If you have something about buckets we need to know,
it might help in our investigation.
Please let us know.
Types of liquids that can be held in them.
Dry goods.
Different volumes of buckets.
Oh, it says on the AI interview,
there was no single inventor of the bucket
as its origins predate written history
with early wooden examples found dating back to 3,700 BC.
That's kind of late
It's later than I thought
Oh they had it yeah
But they had bronze examples from even earlier
Oh there we go yeah
I feel like it would have been a gradual transition
From the bowl to the bucket right
The basket
The basket, the vessel if you will
Our vessels
Oh my precious vessels
We went to Costco recently
And got one of those like
Tubbs of M&Ms
You know regular style Eminem
Oh yeah
And shout out to the Eminem Corporation for
specifically putting the handle on it
which turns it from a tub
into a bucket and that's a completely
different experience. It's so fucking good.
It's so fun to carry.
I think this Greek yogurt does that as well
if you get enough Greek yogurt
you get a bucket for afterwards.
Yeah. It stops being
it stops being a tub. It becomes a pail.
I think I use the toilet.
Dickhead.
I really do like a good bucket.
Like one that is the same width the whole way down
or similar width I really like
because then you're less likely to tip your bucket over.
And a strong handle.
Yeah, I got one of those white ones for brining big pieces of meat.
Straight sides, straight down.
And then you are.
And then you're cooking, you warm smoking that thing?
Oh, yeah.
40, 50 degrees.
At a temperature that doesn't give people food poisoning, I think that's his technique, generally.
A little higher, a little higher.
When we were growing up, we had a very, very compliant cat, and you could put him in a bucket
and swing him around, like full kind of 360 degrees windmill.
It was so good.
Feel all that was amazing.
I had to put my cat into, I had to weigh him, because he's a bit overweight.
He's so fucking big, dude.
But he's gigantic, so it's, and fluffy, so it's hard to tell.
Oh, because we went to the vet
And she was like, uh,
And I was like, yeah, I know, he had to
He had to spend some time at my mother-in-law's house
And she was like cooking him
Meals every day.
So, yeah, that'll do it.
It's like this, this, this cattle eat just dirt, right?
Like, yeah, you don't, you don't got to cook them.
He'll eat fucking whatever.
You don't have to make the cat lasagna.
It's not necessary.
What was the food, what was the food, Demi,
where you said that your mother-in-law was like,
oh, he really likes blank.
And you were like, you're giving him what?
It was, it was, it was like, it was not, it was smoked salmon.
Come on.
And then she was, she was putting, she said a picture.
She tried to make it look like sushi by putting just a little bit of mince meat over the top.
Oh my God.
Because he needs that.
He needs that, I think, yeah.
But she was like buying it from.
Yeah, and it wasn't canned or anything.
She was going to Harris Farm to get fresh fish for my cat and put a,
on a little plate but I had to weigh him the other day so I waited until I found a box that
he really liked and then put it on the scale and just stared and waited until he got in the
box yes and then waited till the numbers stopped and then took him off and then weighed the box
and weighed the box but it's so much of a fucking hassle so I just bought this really
expensive litter tray that spins around and gets rid of all the litter for you and weighs
the cat at the same time oh god yeah how much do you weigh uh tell us
The numbers.
He weighs 6.35 kilos.
Okay.
That's not too.
I have no fucking idea how much a cat is supposed to weigh.
That's not much heavier than a no cat.
That doesn't seem crazy.
It's not supposed, yeah, but he should weigh about five kilos.
Yeah.
They want cats to weigh a neat five.
I don't think it matters.
He's still so annoying.
I took off his belt.
So now like it doesn't sound like there's a cat running around the house because he's so
heavy.
It sounds like there's a gnome running up and down.
down the stairs because he's so, like, fat-footed.
It just sounds like, do, do, do, do.
I just had to check, and Cheech weighs three and a half kilos.
Did you just go and weigh your cat?
No, I just yelled out to my wife who had just taken him to the vet.
How much does his way your cat.
But Cheech is a classic little guy.
He is a little guy.
That's not a good, that's not a good comparison.
He's got, he's got a little fella kind of features, yeah.
I think Norm's fine.
He's tall as well.
He's just huge.
He's tall.
He's got big bones.
He's got big bones.
We really breezed past, by the way, Theo, swinging his cat around in a bucket.
Can we just return to that briefly?
Like, okay, how much would you swing it around?
Were you using, like, centrifugal force and stuff?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
He likes it.
100%.
I mean, yeah, it's centripetal force.
There's no such thing as...
And did you find yourself torturing any other animals as a child?
Um...
I bought a sick lizard once.
Um, and...
I've told you guys
I've definitely told you guys this before
Sick lizard
Well no I assume it was sick
Because I had a fake ID so that I could buy a lizard
And then I went to the pet store
And I was like he clearly knew that I wasn't old enough
To buy this lizard
So I think he gave me like a sick line
Yeah teach you a little lesson
Teach a lesson about mortality
But yeah it escaped and it fell down a
What do you call the mouth of the curb
The
The sewer?
He lost a sick lizard to a sewer.
I choose to believe the lizard's still alive.
Yeah.
He's driving.
He was driving.
He was a little bit sick lizard?
Fell into a sewer?
Well, I was just thinking that it was sick because why else would you give what is clearly like an 11 year old and not a 16 year old a lizard?
Wasn't like phozyma?
What was going on?
I don't know.
Lizzie, do you just say funny?
Yeah.
Funny.
Classic brag.
What do we do?
Do you ever, do you ever, like, everyone with cats, do you ever hold them up if there's, like, a bug on the roof so that they can eat the bug?
No.
Oh, no, I did that.
I was cats sitting for my friend and there was one of those big fucked up cockroaches in the bathroom and I was freaked out.
And then I grabbed the cat and I put it in the bathroom and I close the door.
Let the cat deal with it.
It felt great.
When there's little like, two souls enter.
Yeah.
Yeah, we just like, the little gray like fly things that go in your kitchen sometimes, just.
just like lift Norm up and he goes
and like puts it in his mouth
with his hand. That's so good.
That's like something from the Flintstones.
You've got an animal to do a task for you.
Like yeah, animals,
this tools kind of deal.
Yeah.
It's a nice treat for both of you.
Sorry, I derailed this so much, Ben.
I feel like you were trying to get to another point.
God damn it, Demi.
I don't think that's true.
We are usually so disciplined.
The bucket was handed over to police
by a passerby who spotted it
with a police station just 200 metres away.
You French sense.
Simpleton.
Maybe they thought they were getting a sting.
Maybe they thought they were set up.
Yeah.
Maybe they're all worried about getting into the gates of heaven.
Yeah, I think it's...
Due to their many sins.
Due to how they are.
Due to the type of people.
It's so weird that like nobody in this is appearing to like take a little, take a little taste,
take a little cream off the top.
Well, you wouldn't say, by the way, I took a little bit out of it before I took the police.
And the police aren't saying, by the way, we took a little bit.
We skipped a little cream off the top before we posted it to Facebook.
I, I, like, Demi, I lost my wallet on a bus in Italy, sorry, rather.
And, like, I just got up, it must have fallen out of my pants.
And it was just there.
Pants around his ankles.
Pants around your ankles.
Yeah.
I need to take a shit.
So we got back to the B&B and I'm like, ah, you know, I'm in a big, I'm in a tiz.
A tizzy, yeah.
Man, I was tizzed up.
And they're like, oh, well, you're never seeing that again.
Oh.
But we did.
That was it?
No, no, we did.
But they were like, they were of the opinions.
Like, that is not a wallet anymore that has ceased to exist.
As soon as you hopped off that bus, it was scooped up.
Yeah.
Like a cockroach.
By the light finger.
Yeah.
But no.
It got to the, the bus got to the end of the trip.
And we called the station.
and they went and looked and they were like, yep, it's here.
It's still got money in it.
This is a miraculous story.
Incredible.
Yeah, I had a friend that had a...
Oh, yeah.
Well, no, I've seen so, so, so, so many videos of specifically only Italian pickpockets.
Yeah.
I love pickpocketing.
There's a little...
They really love it.
But I had a friend lose their wallet once and then they got it mailed to their house because their license was
in it. And the person left a note that was like, hey, I took all your cash and your Mikey
because I just thought. Yeah, because I wanted it. I wanted it. And, you know, I'm giving
your wallet back. So that should be something. On balance. That's right. I think that's fair. You can
take a little off the top. Yeah. Just a little treat for yourself. That's just the, that's just the
cost of doing business. It's the tax. It's the dipshit tax. Yeah. It's much more honest than handing it back
with no money in it and saying, well, I found your wallet, but there was no money in it.
Someone must have taken it.
You should really look into getting some money in your wallet.
How are you going to buy fix?
They don't have, like, if they don't have F-Poss.
They don't have F-Poss.
If they don't have F-Poss, how are you going to purchase things?
Yeah, what if you want to get minimum chips at the fish and chip shop,
but their F-POS minimum is five bucks, and minimum chips is three bucks.
Yeah.
Yep.
We're going to get a median chips?
Yeah, that still happens these days.
That's definitely still real.
You've gone to the fishery at Coolum, and they don't take, they don't take card for some reason.
There are two hairdressers that I go to in like my, they're just like kind of small business hair dressers.
Wait, no, I know this one.
You want to go to the one with the bad haircut.
And neither of them have F-Poss.
That's insane.
Each time I'm like, I'm like, I have to drive home and get my wallet.
So I'll see you in a bit.
And these are the two.
You barbers you've chosen to go to.
Well, I don't pick them.
It's just the way that it panned out.
One of them's really nice.
Are you alternating?
Are you playing them off against each other?
Like trying to create a rivalry?
So the first time I went to the second of the two,
it was because the first of the two had a weekend off.
She was sick, I think.
And then the second time, it was because I didn't have any money.
What a slut.
It's because I didn't have any money in my wallet, and I knew that my usual hairdresser,
she doesn't take F-Poss.
So I'm like, all right, I'll just go to the second one.
But he doesn't take F-Poss either.
I forgot that bit about it.
So then I took some money out.
Yeah.
Sorry, does they let men be hairdressers?
They only let them do the one haircut, though.
You know it when you see it.
Oh, that's a men's haircut.
Buy men.
It's the haircut.
Four men.
I haven't paid for a haircut in years because women's haircuts are fucking highway.
robbery.
Yeah, they are.
But with the new show,
got a little cash to splash.
Nah, fuck those.
I'm not paying for it either way.
You can do it for the exposure pitch.
The police are open to any of several possibilities
as to the source of the money
from the result of drug dealing, a burglary,
or more simply someone who misplaced their savings.
I would argue that is not a more simple explanation.
No.
A bucket of savings?
Yeah, I'm just savings get into the bucking.
all my savings into this bucket?
Maybe it's just cool to carry a bucket
instead of a wallet.
Maybe this is what young people are doing.
Oh, they're like quirky.
It's Amelie.
They're doing Amelie.
They're doing Amelie stuff.
I'm picturing all the people having sex right now
and I carry my cash in a bucket.
They're all doing the TikTok challenge
where you put your life savings into a bucket
and swing it around like a youth with a cat.
Will it all stay in the bucket?
I've been getting some really bad TikTok
Sox recommended to me lately.
What kind of gear?
What kind of gear you are?
Let me just, the one that I saw today really upset me.
And I'm not going to show it to you because it is quite upsetting.
But I'll just play you the song that they chose to put over this.
And then I'll tell you what the caption is.
The heading videos are back.
Oh, oh.
Yeah, it's the video song.
It's the...
Are you launching a product?
Blue Jet.
It's the Kickstarter-type song, and here's the caption.
Hot tubs are crock pots for humans.
This person was found deceased after three days in this hot tub.
Oh, no.
We had to extract all the water, skin, and hair, and it's a hot tub,
and it's completely maroon and brown in these.
No, no.
Anyway.
Imagine accidentally...
He got suvited.
Imagine accidentally instant.
He's living the...
He's living the suviden.
You want to...
Live in Suvina loco?
You want to...
Live a Suvita loco.
Lever suvita loca.
Which is quite ironic because he's dead.
He's dead.
So he's kind of very much not.
Rules in France state the people who find a sum of money
or objects stashed away in the wild
must report it to the police
or gendarmerie within 24 hours.
Oh, well, if there's a rule.
Yeah, or else.
Yeah, you're not allowed to collect interest on it.
That's more of a social rule, is it?
I'm just bringing, I'm going...
Every single day I go to the police
with, like, I found this, and it's a ladybug every time.
And they're like, we told you, not stuff like that.
Ah, but one man's trash is another man's treasure.
You know, what if people are bringing in all the treasure
that other people think is trash.
Really thought that was going to be a segue,
but it wasn't, you had the voice of you were trying to do a segue.
No, we've got about six pages of this bucket story to go.
Yeah, easily.
If no one comes forward within one year,
the funds are split between the person who found it
and the owner of the land on which it was found.
If it was on public land and not claimed,
the full amount is given to the person who discovered it.
That's nice.
So you know if you found like,
that bucket on someone's
front yard. You're moving it into the roadway
and being like, I found it next to the road, which is
public land, by the way. Yeah,
of course. And that gives you a good
like, that's, it gives
them a good reason to turn it in. I can see
this making a lot of sense. Because then you might get it.
You might get it. However,
if you don't turn it in,
you get it. You get it. Yeah. You're
one of a... Prisoner's delimmer.
Maybe it's just for, maybe
turning it in is just for gambling addicts,
you know? I want to spice
There's a chance I won't get it.
You know, when you do some work and you forget that, like, you've asked to be paid or whatever,
and then it hits your bank account, like, six weeks later, and it's like a surprise?
Just trying to generate some surprise, like a year's time.
They completely forgot about the bucket of money.
Then suddenly, $432,000 euros hits their bank account.
And they're like, that's right, the bucket full of money.
I got about the bucket for money.
My cash to surprise.
So when will the bucket be in my account?
I'm filling in the field on my tax return for bucket-related earnings.
Getting the 10 grand that was in there and then a day later getting the buck 50 for the bucket itself.
It just says bucket.
In all cases, recipients must wait another three years before being able to fully spend it.
In the meantime, they are nearly...
Why give it to them?
Use of fructuaries.
Use of fructuaries.
What?
Are you taught?
What?
I think we all know what he means.
And they must return the money if the original owner comes forward.
So after a year, they give you the bucket with 10,000 euros.
But you're not allowed to touch it?
But you can't touch it for three years.
That's so mean.
This is fucking insane.
What's the fucking point?
Why would you even give it to them?
You don't have the space for a bucket?
You can look at it.
but you can't touch it.
You're not allowed.
I bet you'd love to touch this, wouldn't you?
Love to touch this.
Oh, Ben, this should help clear it up.
I've looked up the dictionary definition of usufructory.
Yeah, you weren't reading the same one I'm reading.
It says one having the usufruct of property.
Yeah.
Sotted, sorted.
Checked out.
Which I believe a usufruct is a type of heavy cavalry where you're riding a bear.
That joke will.
smash with a very small subsect of the population.
Wow, it is the legal rights.
Our most random listeners are
I think I'm most educated, yeah.
It is the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits
or profits of something belonging to another.
I love enjoying the fruits.
A little taste of the cream.
You can't eat the whole, you can't.
You can't eat the cream, but you could dip your finger.
It's a wonderful approximate.
metaphor.
How mad would you be two and a half years later
the cops show up at your door?
Hey, mind if we see that bucket real quick?
This guy wants his bucket back actually.
Funny story.
Guy showed up for the bucket.
He'd been in a coma.
You haven't touched the bucket re have you?
Going to jail.
We're just going to take it in the back room
and count the bucket.
I really don't understand what the point is then.
Don't give me the bucket money.
Why not just keep it in a bank account somewhere?
If you've got to wait, why let them see it in the account?
Don't edge me with the bucket money.
Don't edge me with the bucket money.
Don't edge me with the bucket money.
They could be scraping the interest off at the whole time.
Are you supposed to be like...
Are you supposed to be using it for like good investments?
You're supposed to be using it.
I guess you could invest it.
Well, actually, it's all in, yeah.
Like making you wait until you're 18 until you can inherit stuff.
It's fungible though, right?
So if you spent it and they came back for it,
you could just get a different five grand.
or whatever to put it in there.
No, it's got to be the stuff from the bucket.
It has to be the bucket.
I think the bucket is fungible.
The bucket itself is definitely fungible.
The bucket is fungible.
Unless the bucket is a special bucket.
Is it though?
It's orange.
If there's a beautiful tabby cat in it, that's not fungible.
I feel like an orange bucket's pretty uncommon.
I was going to, yeah.
When's the last time you've ever seen an orange bucket?
They might be common in France.
I don't think they're particularly common over here now.
Yeah.
Using red, mostly.
Probably one of the most
Blue.
Oh,
Oh, interesting.
I would think blue.
I would think blue before red.
I am colourblind,
but I would think, oh, I did find a picture of a black cat and an orange bucket.
My father's colourblind too.
He's actually, my father's coming here today.
I would get you in touch.
God, there's such a good video out there of the Go Off King's stream
where Demi discovers live on air that she is colourblind?
No, come on.
Oh, you did the Little Miss Sunshine?
I did.
On the golf kings?
We were playing ticket to ride online, and there were two train tracks that I was like,
well, it's fucking hard because they looked like the same color.
Why'd they put them next to each other?
The very different color.
But then, they're really different colors.
Yeah.
And now you can't join the Air Force.
No, you can't join the Air Force.
Aw.
That was a dream.
And your grandpa taught your sister a sexy dance before he died.
Yep.
That's right.
Yeah.
Hey, get your eyes tested by doing one of those colored eye test thingsies,
because you might also find out that you're colorblind.
That was something of a PSA.
We talk about PSAs in the PSA per segment.

Phantom car braking on motorway near Lyon
Is that how you pronounce that?
Did you say phantom cars?
Phantom car?
They got ghost cars?
Yeah.
Ghost cars, yeah.
And they're braking.
The phantom.
A motorist whose car breaks suddenly at 120 kilometres an hour
on a motorway near Lyon is calling for urgent recognition
of the risks posed by automatic braking systems in modern vehicles.
Joanna Parash was driving her Peugeot 208 on the A40 in April when, without warning, the car...
Driving a perjo in France?
A bit on the nose.
Get over it.
Come on, mate.
It's a real car.
Get a real car.
Not a ghost car.
It is a real car.
The car is part of the material realm.
Yeah.
I'm confused, but let's continue.
It's probably the number of the Pojo-208.
Look at it.
It's nice.
Nice.
I'm looking at pictures of it right now.
I would love zipping around on the A-40 in a Peugeot.
I remember my art teacher in high school had a Peugeot.
Yep.
Old Peugeot.
Is that a mark four or against?
I always wanted a Fiat Ponto.
Oh.
I don't know what those look like.
I only know the Fiat 500.
You can't have one?
Tom won't let you.
Tom won't let you drive.
Can I let me have a Fiat Ponto?
Tom won't let me.
You know, I found another gorilla stuff to
gorilla that I wanted the other day.
And I said, this would go really well with our gorilla.
And he said, no, we don't need another gorilla.
I'm looking at the man.
Dump him,
he's trash.
He is literal trash.
He's literally not respecting your needs.
Your boundary in having the stuff to gorilla.
He's so toxic.
It's insane.
I did bully him into letting me have the kitchen aid stand mixer, though.
Okay.
And the way that I did it was on my podcast.
I kept saying, get me that.
Get me that.
And he's got it for me.
What was it that you wanted to purchase and you asked him while he was asleep?
Oh, it was another table.
Your 20th table.
25th table for the house.
And you're like, hey, Tom, say no if I...
It's an outdoor setting table, yeah.
We don't have a yard.
And the look of betrayal on his face as you explained this to him.
Live on air.
I listened to an episode of big soft titty. png where Demi spent a lot of time bullying Tom as he said no, no to a stand mixer.
And then I messaged you saying, you should get a stand mixer.
And you replied, it just arrived.
I also just didn't want to do the emotional labor of buying the stand mixer.
So I was like, you do it and let me pick the color.
labor.
So I got the pistachio-colored stand mixer.
That's nice.
And I've just ordered the meat grinder attachment.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Put his dick in there.
Yes.
Without warning, the car slowed violently to a standstill.
The vehicle behind collided with hers, leaving both cars badly damaged and several people injured.
You think that's funny, Ben?
You think that's funny?
The vehicle behind, obviously, like, let's not.
Let's not
Blame the phantom
They're following too close
Well yes
Ease up
Give a little bit more space
But I don't think they could see
The car
Because
It was
I think they might have
Oh
What's that
What did I hit
This is it like
Christine or the Raith
The Raid
What a film
Quote, it was a clear day
It was not raining
No cars were ahead or alongside me
Miss Perash told the connection
Is that what you think she sounded like Ben?
Quote
Of our three seconds
My car lost speed
I immediately knew what was happening
These automatic braking system
Slow vehicles down faster than a driver could
Fortunately there were no serious injuries
I think they're still using the same brakes
They don't have like
Extra brakes just for the
for the car to use.
But is it like the action,
like the mechanical action
of how the car
like pushes the brakes?
Oh like they can push the pedal down.
They can go full on immediately.
Oh they see the pedal.
It's probably using the ABS as well
in like the most effective way
so it's like skipping the brake so it doesn't.
Yeah but you're using the ABS too
because it's automatic.
That's the A part of it.
I don't know.
I disconnected it in mine.
I don't like the feeling that
you know,
someone else is taking over.
Police requested a technical appraisal
But the prosecutor's office declined
That sounds like a fucking cover up to me
Yeah
I feel like they probably should have just done it
We don't want to do that though
But we don't want to
Yeah we don't want to
It's 10 a.m. on a Friday
I'm basically already knocked off
No thank you
Quote
My insurance company was only really interested
in the fact that another car hit man
so is the other driver's insurance
that had to pay, she said.
That's usually all that insurance companies
care about.
Are we paying for it?
No, cool.
Okay, like, we've already found someone to pay for this.
What's your problem?
Yeah.
Well, because now my car's doing it on its own staff.
I don't want my car doing it some staff.
I hate phantom braking.
It is very, it's like,
every time it happens,
It's...
What do you mean?
It happens in your car?
How often are we talking?
The Schoda was fine, but the Nissan Leaf is like, it loves to Phantom Break.
It's like, watch out for the car.
The Nissan Leaf?
The Nissen Leaf.
Yeah, I own a Nissen Leaf.
It's a little smart car.
It's adorable.
Are you a Christmas beetle?
Yeah.
I'm a Christmas beetle on my leaf.
I really, I'm going to get a car soon because I want one.
Yeah, you should get a Fiat Ponto.
8,000.
$10,000 on car sales.
Very reasonable price.
But I was thinking, I want one that you can fucking plug into your house and shit.
But the other one that I really wanted was like there's just literally only two seats smart car.
But they don't make them later than like 2014.
Oh, the little cars that real estate agents drive around.
They're not just for real estate agents.
They are mostly for them.
I can't give anybody a lift.
Yay.
I can't help you move your furniture
I can't
I simply cannot
it's me and my cat
and that's stranded at the airport
Tom's not going to fit in there
Tom's not going to fit in there
No room for Tom in this car
Put him on the roof racks
Tom would
Tom would fit in one of those
Because my dad had one of those smart cars
And I think at the time
He was a bit taller than me
Maybe not now
Thank you ageing
He's a big fella
You dad
He's a big fella
And he loved a smart car because of all the goddamn headroom.
Ah, there you go.
I really won't.
I'm a tall roof over the top.
Tom says no.
Again?
You got the stand meter.
You could make him do it.
It's really fucked.
Quote,
so gendarmerie asked for an expert opinion,
but because there were not any deaths,
this did not happen.
Death.
Dives.
Frustrated by the lack of interest from authorities,
Ms. Perash appealed for other drivers to share their experience.
experiences of
phrenage phantom
or phantom braking
yes
yeah that's beautiful
isn't it so cool
frenage phantom
I used to have a car
that would do phantom
braking but it was
it was not for any good reason
it was because it was from
1989
and it was just really fucked up
and it was just dying
it was just hurting
yeah
yeah my car's only ever
done a little braking
of its own
when I have been accelerating
very far
towards an object that is going much slower than me.
Yeah.
Or not going.
Yeah, yeah.
You're playing Balatro in your lap.
Oh, don't worry, the car stops for me.
Quote, so far,
so far I've had over 600 responses,
a lot of them from English speakers.
But I have not had time to read them all, she said.
I suspect the problem is much more widespread.
There are probably many thousands affected.
What do you want to have?
happen about it, though, Miss Perroche.
I don't think cars should do that.
That's my personal belief.
I kind of think what she's saying.
We've got like an old
shitty RoboVac and
there's like one part of the... You can't drive
those around though. You can barely fit on them though.
I can. I'm only
I'm only a little guy.
I'm a little bug guy.
He's very petite. He's so tiny.
I'm little. But I can still eat
a whole burger.
Yeah. He has got a snatched waist.
I literally have to shop in the kid.
He does have a trash place.
And the fucking robovac, like there's a part on the floorboards where if sun hits it,
the robovac will just stop and just be like, well, this is as far as I go.
It's a vampire.
I feel like that they get scared by stuff.
That's good.
Yeah, because robots are stupid.
Yeah.
And your argument is because your robovac does this,
we should be taking, stopping immediately on the freeway because of a computer accident seriously.
Yes, sorry, we should have that?
Yeah.
Like, I'm saying that there might be a spot there, like with the light or whatever,
that makes the cars stop.
They get spooked, like horses.
The cars probably shouldn't do that.
That's my belief.
I don't think the car should do anything for you.
I don't think it should have any thoughts.
No, you shouldn't make decisions.
You are a machine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You listen to me, pal.
But what if there was just such a camera in your car and you just wanted to kill children?
I love it.
That's the one that like disables your brakes
As you're going towards kids
It's doing the opposite of Frenage Fonton
If you have been affected
You can send your testimony to Miss Perash
Via Incident Frenage
I don't know who you are lady
I'm not no I'm not talking to you
Yeah send her an email
That says my old shitty car would do it
But just because it was shitty
There weren't really any cameras in that
Also I don't have it anymore
And it never caused an accident
Yeah what should we do
What do you want to do about this, you and me?
Help me.
Help me, mademoiselle, Perosh.
Mademoiselle, I had about you silly castori.
I thought it was zabel, magnified.
We could have a coffee and talk about it, and maybe later I'd tick a fight.
In response to the high number of testimonies, gathered by Ms.
Barash, the Ministry of Transport
announced an inquiry into the issue.
The inquiry delegated to the
servants to surveillance
of marches of vehicles
and the motorists.
Yeah.
Well, question
manufacturer as a conduct road test
in order to determine
whether the phenomenon
represents systemic faults or isolated
errors or if it's just ghosts.
Ah!
So if you're annoying enough, they will pay
attention to you.
Yeah.
Yes.
Good lesson for anyone.
Yeah.
I really like.
Lespecta?
I really like the many stories of, like, cab drivers in, like, places in Japan where they're like,
yeah, I took a fare from someone.
Then when we got to this certain, like, long stretch of road, they just, like, weren't there
anymore.
And I was like, oh, what the hell?
Love that.
I really like.
They're really spooky.
There's so many of them.
Taxi ghosts, real in Japan.
What?
Yes.
There's just so many stories.
worries about it. And obviously ghosts aren't real, but I still believe in them. And like, it's
really scary. I mean, they are, but that's okay. Well, yeah, I mean, I know they are, but there's a
bunch of men on the call. So we can't, you know. Ghosts, astrology, all of it. Homeopathy. I believe
is real. Lime disease. Lime disease. I would rather kill myself than have a tarot
reading, but ghosts is real. I would like to have two wines in a tarot reading, but I would never
I love that. I wouldn't believe it.
I haven't had two wines.
Yes.
I think this was definitely an episode of the podcast, Winter Vista.
Demi, thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you for having me.

Yep.

Is truly fucking incredible
From a man who is just a consummate
What, two men who were consummate professionals
That made that work
Two men working as one
Can I really quickly say something
About what Paul said to Tom
For anybody who hasn't seen the episode yet
We strapped an iPad to a helmet
And put the helmet on my husband
So that he had the face of Paul Lev Tompkins
And there was a point
And Paul, the nicest person, basically of all time,
who just, like, will spend his time on whatever if you're nice.
Tom at one point said, hey, Paul, I'm just going to take you off my head
so I can go to the bathroom.
And he turned it around.
And Paul looked up from his phone and said,
I don't care.
It's so mean.
Oh, my beautiful man.
Yep.
