Boonta Vista - EPISODE 415: I Was An Egg Child (with Jesse Black)

Episode Date: September 28, 2025

Lucy and Ben are joined by ex-husband of the show and Savant Garde host Jesse Black to discuss: The gift of an egg, a speedy yet dignified embalming, a missing horse found, and the promise of 25 years of technological development. The thing I was trying to think of was the Socorro isopod. *** Outro: Summon the Moon - Windhand *** Support our show and get exclusive bonus episodes by subscribing on Patreon: www.patreon.com/BoontaVista *** Email the show at [e-mail]!

How you got a group of trust of advice? Not just a group of trusted advice. Not just like one guy that's with bringing you in this. You've got to know who you can trust. You're going to give everyone a little different piece of information and see who gets your secrets out, right? Hello and welcome to Blinda Vista, episode 450. Dean, I am Ben. It's time for another installment of Guess That Quantity.

The game show where contestants are pit against each other in a competitive game of guessing quantities. With me is Lucy. Hello, Lucy. Hello, it's nice to be back. You, I think both you and Theo got beaten by Andrew last time. Yeah, I think we did. It was my recollection.

Really embarrassing. Yeah, pretty strange. I can't actually remember how we did this last time, but I'm going to give you each set of three questions, and then we'll see how you go. Lucy, how many pay phones are there in Australia? Oh, oh, 30,000. Oh, right number of digits, but not close enough.

They're about 15,000. How old is the current oldest living person? 109. Close, but not close enough, 116. Jesus. And that is some broad living in the UK. That's fucked up. Yeah, she, I was, you know,

I was kind of curious about like what stage of her life she's in. What's she up to? What's she up to? But apparently like a week ago, she had a chat with the king. So still, still cogent. Wow. Still doing stuff. Wow.

Lucy, what is the greatest distance between any two mainland points in the contiguous 48 states? So the longest line you can draw between points. in the US without going off the mainland. Like across the entire US? Yeah. So from which city or for the distance? Just for the distance.

So if you were to draw a line diagonally the longest way across the lower 48. I have absolutely no concept of like what a distance is. Well, just sort of if you think about how wide the US and how tall the US is, you can probably calculate roughly what the diagonal would be. Are we talking kilometres or miles? I have both written down here, but I don't know why the fuck you would know it in. I'm going to say 1,500 kilometres. Oh, shocking.

No. 4,654 kilometers. I don't know how far stuff is. It doesn't mean anything to me in my head. At that, just for reference, that is from Point Arena in California to West Quaddy Head in Maine. It's a tip to tip. So you are none from three. it is looking good. Coming to our next contestant,

marine biologist, podcaster, ex-husband, Jesse Black. Hello, Jesse. Hello. How you doing, big dog? I made up many hats, I realized. Yeah, you do so much. That's right. You also are a barista learning. Yes, I have learned to use the steam wand without hurting myself. I still fear the steam wand. I respect the steam wand. Steam's really hot. It's actually hotter than boiling water. It's hotter than you think. That's one of the things about.

Crucially. Damn, that is crazy about steam. I got three questions. Well, three quantities for you to try and estimate Jesse. I hope they're easier. Those were, Lucy got three ones that I would not have gotten. I won't even tell you

what my guesses were. I bet yours is going to be so fucking easy. No, these ones are really hard. Jesse, what is the highest what is the elevation of the highest point in Belize? We all know where on world Belize is so I won't get into that that's right definitely I can picture Belize in

my mind nestled around some other countries rotating Belize in my mind please I'm gonna give it uh it's definitely where I think it is on the earth that we all know and love that favorite place 800 meters above sea level you're actually pretty close uh 1,124 meters I was going to say that's exactly what I was going to say that that spot that is the peak at Doyle's Delight Oh Doyles DeLoy

Doyleight Yeah Jesse How many ants are there Like period Well alive How many There's no way

There is a quantifiable A lot of people have put I got this from a scientific paper And everything A lot of So all of the ants Alive right now Tree ants

Ground ants How many ants I know there is Like a tremendous amount Of the total biomass of living things is bugs like most statistically most is bug

if you think of it that way there's more ants than people there's a shitload ants Oh there's definitely more ants than people Yeah that is true Something like I remember hearing something like There's a million ants for every people

Or something but the problem is I don't know what that first number was either Oh shit How many ants? We're talking all species of ant From the lowly bullet To the second ant species I could think of

That's right to the mightiest rhinoceros ant those uh the scary ones that like march over and eat stuff in their path what are those called including those guys i'm gonna say it's in the trillions trillions i'm gonna say one quadrillion oh you're so almost close it's 20 quadrillion wow it was an order magnitude up i thought i was overshooting damn that's a lot of You should get rid of some of them. I don't think we need that, maybe. It's probably, seems like, over-

your uncles, too. Shit. It doesn't work in our accent. It doesn't really work. We don't say that. It's stupid. You are so far zero for two. I have one more question for you.

What is the warmest temperature ever recorded in Norway? I bet it's 87 degrees Fahrenheit, which is, of course, I don't know, what is that? 20-5-ish. It is 96.1 degrees Fahrenheit or 35.6 degrees. Damn, that's hot as hell, Norway. Well, it's hot for Norway. We're about to have a, we're meant to have a mid to high 30s day next week here.

And it is just gone spring. It's already very warm. We had a heat dome for a while. I wonder if you're getting the heat dome at this time. What's a heat dome? America's been set by, And you're a beset by heat domes. Yeah.

Yeah. We get crazy geometry stuff going on. It's like a big pocket of hot air that just sits like a dome. I'm not sure why it is created or why it is dome shaped. But big domy heat. That's my understanding. Big old domy heat. And they just sit there and they don't move for ages.

It fucking sucks so bad. It was really, because it's just like hot, humid, very low wind. Just a fucking bummer. That's my least favorite type of weather. I've got to be honest. But I'm sure it's only going to get better from here. I was about to say that. Yeah.

That's some good news. Yeah. Hey, Brisbane, sometimes it's so hot you can almost cook a egg out there. We talk about eggs in Big Egg. What's big and small at the same time? Big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg, big egg. Oh, big

I want a big egg For breakfast eat Something the size of my head Hop out of bed Toast up a whole loaf of bread Morning for a week Because I'm gonna stay fed Big egg this morning

Frying it up while I'm yawning Realization is dawning Egg is too big Don't own a pot it will fit Egg white all over my shit Crack in a pan that blots out the whole sun Cook up an omelet that must weigh a ton Flip it and serve it and eat I deserve it

Big egg means my day has begun God, it's just so good I really liked that one in my fridge right now. Do you see there's eggs I posted on Instagram with a packet just says big boys? I have not seen the eggs that you posted on Instagram yet.

I've bought these expensive eggs because they just said big boys on them and they had a like a picture of an egg with big muscles. Oh. Honestly, they're fucking huge. So yeah, they're really big. How big are we talking?

They're bigger than an regular egg. Well, yeah. Just a large egg. Egg plus. Like we have still. Standardized egg sizes at Australia, don't we? For like what an XL egg is and an XXL egg is? I got them at like the little fruit shop, so they're probably like local ones.

You went to the Rosalie Deli? Local egg. No, I didn't go to the Rosalie Deli. You can't buy in your fruit bowl. Fucking Rosalie Deli, they will fucking... Absolutely not. I'm not goddamn millionaires. This is maybe terrible radio, but I'm pretty sure we have standardized egg sizes.

Standardized egg size? Yeah. You know when like a pack of eggs... Are they funny names for them? How can you can... troll, how big the eggs are? What do you mean? You don't sell the eggs that are too big?

I think you'd sort them. You'd be like, well, this are the ones that go into the XXL. These are the ones that go into XXL. Standardized egg sizes. The egg sizes are as defined by the Australian Egg Corporation. Amazing. We have medium, which, oh, this is a really, this is a great. fucking system of measurement so they have reverse engineers the individual egg weight

from a nice round number for a dozen of them so a dozen medium eggs should weigh 500 grams a dozen large 600 a dozen extra large 700 a dozen jumbo 800 and it does in king size king size eggs 860 king egg maybe you got king size I think I got king size I think I got king size, for sure. That's cool as hell, dude. No queen egg. Tide, it's tight. Apparently not.

California King. California King. They're a bit wider. Twin egg. This comes to us from the student news website for Penn State University. Do you do great research, Ben? Thank you so much. I spend a lot of time on the internet for this show.

It is called Onward State. The title is, State College's oddest meal deal, the chick-to-egg-and-drink. Sorry, the what? The chick-to-eg-and-drink. Chick-2-Egg-and-drink. Yeah, so this is talking about a restaurant in the town of State College, Pennsylvania, which I believe is where Penn State is.

There's a bit of waffling in this to really get to the only thing I want, which is in like the last two sentences. But here we go. Downtown State College is full of restaurants and bars, and pretty much nothing else. It makes for a place where you can get practically any kind of food you're looking for within a tiny stretch. And I'm someone who likes to take advantage of that. One of my favorite places is Green Bowl, a Chinese noodle restaurant that is criminally underrated.

Like many other places, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but by the time you have your food in front of you, nothing else matters. So when I discovered that the owners of Green Bowl had another place, College Avenue's Chick-2, I was out the door and on my way and seconds flat. Chick-toe. Chick-2. Chick 2 Chik 2 sits right on College Avenue Only a few doors from Irving's at Allen Street It's right next to the hideaway's front entrance

And like its noodle shop sibling The storefront doesn't do it much justice It's a bit dark But there are only a few tables and chairs In the entire kitchen is just behind the counter But as I've come to learn These are the absolute best kinds of places The restaurant only has a few meal options

And most people gravitate towards the number one Chicken over rice Exactly what it sounds like a pile of chicken over a pile of rice with all sorts of sauces and extra goodies. It costs a cool $6.99 and is worth every penny, even a few more.

The sauces are homemade and you can see them cooking up the rice as you eat. I mean, they're not going to get rice. Like you, how else would that? Also, you can't really see it. It'd be like just like a rice cooking, right? It'd be in a rice cookie, you think, yeah. Okay. Garsohn, is this rice fresh

for me and my house? Do you guys buy this rice like wholesale cooked? I want it cooked fresh, I want it cooked fresh You have to make a minor modification to your rice To get them to make it to order The thing about Chick 2 that caught my eye, though, was the drink options They had all the good canned sodas, especially my beloved Diet Coke But that's not what makes Chick 2 interesting

Any drink you order comes with a fried egg for some reason Wow What do you mean a fried egg? Like just a plate with a fried egg? If you order no drink, you get no egg. You can order an egg and get no drink for $1.29, but for some odd reason, you can't get a plain drink without asking them to hold the egg. Fuck, yeah.

I love that. One Coke, zero, please. Hold the egg. That's so funny. This is like one of those like traps for tourists. Oh, you've got to know you've got to hold the egg. Diet, talk to pepper, please. Hold the egg.

The bundle is dollar 99, which implies that the drink itself is only 70 cents, an absolute steel compared to nearly every other place around. So, yeah, an egg by itself, buck 29. Yeah, $1.29, yeah, okay. Yeah, bundle. I don't know if that's how the prices work, but. Well, no, the egg is the lost leader. Wait, the drink is the lost leader so they can make the money on the egg.

That's where the real money is, is egg money. Yeah, especially right now. When asked, one of the workers told me it was simply for free with the drink as a little present. He also said that only one person has ever refused the egg. What are you going to do? They're handing it to you. Just be like, no, thank you. Oh, please.

Throw that straight in a bit. I won't eat that one Friday. I need to know how they're serving this. It's just handed to you? You know, a piece of, like, in some paper. A napkin. oiled up in a napkin. Yeah, if you get the technology

in a plastic bag. Oh, God. I'm picturing this is just in my mind's eye, but you know the little like plastic Chinese, the tiny little suit bowls you'd get for maybe like a snack size

chicken. It's just got a leg in it? Yeah, one egg in there, one fried egg. Does it have to be fried? Could you poach that for me? I just say, give me this straight up. I'd like mine poached.

A boiled egg makes more sense. Boiled egg. Oh, Pepsi and her. Like a Pepsi and a boiled egg is such a cursed lunch. That's a breakfast. That's a breakfast. That's what like the guys that built like the Chrysler building, that's what they had four times a day. They had a Pepsi and a boiled egg.

Pepsi and a boiled egg and a gas station pickle or something. That's true. No disrespect to the gas station pickle. Opening their lunch boxes, there's just a hot Pepsi, a shelled boiled egg and one pickle and they're sitting on a girder. Just eating that. 30 cigarettes, can of Pepsi, boiled egg. What'd your wife get you?

I got a freaking Pepsi at a pickle and a boiled egg. Every fucking day. A little zip lock of salt. I used to take a boiled egg to school for lunch, and my parents would put a little Ziploc bag of salt and twist it up, so there's a little salt pepper sashet in there for my egg. I was an egg child. That's normal.

Yeah, that checks out. I was an egg child. I was an egg child. A boiled egg child. The egg shouldn't be taken anywhere. It's kind of a cursed food item. It's just an odd thing to have with you, but they are kind of the perfect snack. Yes.

It's just you look insane if you were to remove like a cooked egg from your pocket during a conversation. Just pull out your boiled egg. Do you want some of this? We actually did have a physics teacher or chemistry, some high school teacher who was known to keep a ham sandwich in her pocket during class and whip it out to take a bite out of it to deploy tactically. mid lecture, loose as well. I don't think it was in a bag. Which pocket? I don't know which pocket.

I couldn't begin to. I guess I could guess, but I think, I mean, the breast pocket is the safest option. That's sorry. Yes. I'm picturing someone in a lab coat with a hand sandwich in a breast pocket. Oh, God.

One of those detective style holsters under the arm like this with my little ham sandwich. It was like kind of sexy. Oh, hell yeah. It's the coolest way to hold your gun is to have those like Underarm holsters. Yeah. You could have two in there and do like the action movie style thing that listeners can't see, but...

Two sandwiches, egg salad, ham, yeah. Yo, tuna. I was also... This place was called Chick 2, like the sequel, like Chick No. 2? Yeah, but no space. And also, yeah, it's just chick 2. I should start friggin' burger 3. If you're in the mood for excellent and super cheap food or just getting an egg with your drink,

head over to Chick 2 on College Avenue. I'm honestly sold by this. $2.00, egg and a Pepsi. I love it. They did. They include in the article as well a picture of the menu, and it's true that there is no option for just the drink. That's just so true.

I love it. Good on. That's value. An egg. That's sort of a sealed container in which life begins. There's also a type of sealed container in which there is an absence of life. And that's a coffin. We talk about coffins in Coffin Watch.

This comes to us from the Funeral Industry News website Connecting Directors. Air Force morticians make history by mastering the 30-minute embalming. What? Yeah, we did it. Is that something we want to do? I guess. I got to be real with you, I had no idea. I don't really have a conception of how long an embalming takes.

I was going to say, is that much longer or shorter than I mean? I think it's, they got the system down. I think they're bragging about it. Oh, I know, shorter, but is it, what is the usual typical embalming take in terms of time and effort? I saw it six feet under, but I don't really remember much. Because embalming, you're like replacing all the fluids and stuff, right? Yeah. Do it all sorts of...

Cluos in new goo. Different fluid. Yeah. I think so. It's like, I don't know if they still use formaldehyde, but I bet they don't. That's kind of... That's really all I know about it, and I think that might no longer be accurate, yeah. Yeah.

Last month, in a Michigan warehouse that had been temporarily transformed into a makeshift embalming suite, a team of Air Force specialists accomplished an unprecedented feat. embalming in full body wrapping of remains in under 30 minutes in a contested field environment, all while maintaining the dignity and respect due to the fallen. Sorry, they had like enemies nearby, like the enemy nearby radar is going off. It's simulated enemies, I guess, yeah. Do you need to embalm during a contested field environment? Are we embalming in the field?

I think we're bombing in the field. I just never even entered my mind. Well, yeah, I never really, I thought you'd just kind of like chuck him in a freezer truck. The deal of it later. Sort it out later? Yeah. Collect the dog tags. The game deletes them after a certain amount of time.

The game deletes the bodies on the ground when it can't load anymore when they respawn. So I assume something like that. It would be fully rendered with all the corpses. The Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, A-F-M-A-O, team of Embalmers, Mortuary Specialists and Chaplains made history by creating the first expeditionary mortuary at Camp Grayling in Northern Michigan on August 25th, 2025. The exercise was part of Exercise Northern Strike 25-2, a Michigan National Guard sponsored event designed to prepare personnel from all service branches for real-life combat situations. It was Michigan's largest

and longest readiness exercise with about 7,500 participants spending two weeks at Camp Grayling. The exercise put mortuary affairs personnel in positions where they had to shorten their usual processes and focus on completing multiple procedures in a day. This involved receiving remains, embalming, then completing a full body wrap, a process that normally takes hours. Field embalming prioritizes preservation and not restoration, which is an important part of the process

in normal non-combat conditions. Okay, so they don't have to look pretty. Just got to keep the body intact. They're not getting you like open casket funeral already. They're just pickling you. Just pickling. I'm old pickle, no dressing But

Is this a disrespectful question But I'm kind of like If it's not for the purposes Of making them look Alive quote unquote What's the why? I don't want to say why bother To stop the body decaying?

Is that? I guess it's going to keep the body For a while Yeah you stop the decay process I guess it's not just visual I guess for the Restoration aspect Or the embalming

Yeah I think it's more of a practical concern that they're going to have to put that in a coffin, then load it onto a plane, and then unload it from the plane while all the people are saluting, and they rolled out onto the tarmac. Because they've got to have their special little funerals with the coffin and the flag, right? Yeah, to make it all worthwhile. I mean, I'm just like, dump me in the grass. Like, I don't give a hoot personally, but I understand people have different, freaking put me in

the dumpster. I'm a, I'm a big time, any of those, the real nature. tree ones. I'm happy. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I want the tree in me. Put my ashes in the ocean or something. I want to fucking join back with the Avatar life tree, AWAR. Put my spirit back into AWAR by feeding me to some pigs or something.

To some crabs. I just want to go straight back into nature. I don't want, oh, that's a nice one. Do people do like Tibetan-style funerals but with crabs? I don't know. Like being eaten by crabs? Yeah, like leave my body out for the, stuff in the ocean gets picked apart

real quick, I mean, I don't see why you couldn't do like a sort of, the term sky burial for the ones in the mountains I believe, where it's like hawks and stuff so you could do like a ocean burial. I don't know, it's not quite that. That would be cool. That would be cool.

It's pretty gross though. What a hagfish. You feel like Oh, you get slimed on? I don't know why it's like in my life, dude. Getting slimed on in death as well. Yeah. Yeah. The hackfish are kind of relish in it too.

That's why it's almost more undignified. I feel like hagfish are like, oh, look how gooey I am. Like a very like, peatistic fish. I've always, they tie themselves into knots for leverage to rasp it,

sorry, to, you know, rasp flesh off of the decaying corpse. So they'll like wrap themselves in knots and they can also turn like the surrounding like a paint bucket's worth of water into like gelatin style consistency like that. because they exude like this mucusy stuff.

And so that's what I think of, like, realistically what's going to eat me and disperse me to the AWAT tree is like a bunch of fucked-out worms and hagfish. That's okay, though, you know? Eventually it's going to be bugs, right? What did you think is going to happen, Lucy? Yeah. Like a more dignified, like one big fish eats you in one go?

No, no fish. I don't want any fish. He rubs his big tongue. A bird of prey, something noble. Yeah. I would like to be consumed by, A feast for the crows. That's a feast for crows.

After a lifetime of eating crow, the crow feasts on me. Crow eat me. Aha. I think it would be very cool if they did like a, you know how there's like two episodes of Blue Planet that are just about like whale falls? They follow like one whale carcass. Yes. Do a me fall. Do a little, follow the Ben carcass.

Yeah, have David Atbra narrate like my body. Sinking into the... What are you being suckled on by hagfish? Yeah. Ben, do you know about the bone worms? Until I'm completely unrecognizable. Bone worms? You know about Ozadex bone worms?

So that's like late stage whale fall situation. Uh-huh. Because when, you know, it sinks, we're assuming, like, deep ocean. All the, uh, the early scavengers are like fish and rat tails and hagwish. They're taking all the flesh, right? But eventually what's going to be left is like the bones, obviously. And whales have a lot of lipids in their bones. but humans I don't think we'd like sustain an ecosystem for as long as whale bodies do

because it creates like an ecosystem down there for like decades until it's all gone which is crazy but eventually it's just bones right and to get the bone the lipids in the bone there's a type of worm that makes like a big furry thing coming off I think Lucy well I bring this up because I'm sorry Lucy but I think you would hate this creature because it has like the furry thing that you really don't like oh like it looks like it looks like the fairy mold well because it's like what happens is these bones it's like a whale skeleton and they end up covered in like these kind of feathery orange bone worms while they burn into the oh i think they do show some of those on one of those blue planets i think i've seen some furry whale bones it's pretty cool um sorry i just got that was my lord done for whale bones you activated my trap card so consider that as a burial option i think that would be cool a lot of people find that the Isopods, the big roly-pullies down there, really upsetting. Yeah.

You've ever seen like a big is... Yeah. Have you ever... I'm starting this knowing that I have no way to Google it, and this is so fucking vague. But there is a species of, like, really big bug that looks like those, like, isopods that just lives in, like, one body of water

on one property somewhere in rural America. I don't even know what I would search to find it Big bug Rare. Do you know it's an Isopod? I think it is. It is actually a roly-poli-looking ass? I found this from the first time I did a road trip on the US Using the Atlas Obscura they were like

Check out this dude's property for his bugs. Big bug rare America. Texas maybe? Come down to Isopod Rodeo. You guys across the New World Scuids. screw worm stuff that's happening? I haven't seen that. I have skirted around the headlines wondering.

It's like, is this going to be a thing that freaks me out? And then I kind of looked into it and I was like, you know what? It doesn't bother me. I think it's kind of cool. Not that I want the screw worm to fuck with me, but it doesn't trigger my. I don't like him. I don't like his vibe. It's like a big nasty maggot type deal, screw worm that for the first time,

something or other has happened with them. They're like showing up places new in the Americas, I think. Yeah. It's one of those things where their range is expanding or something? Keep an eye out for that. Is this one of those things that goes in my body, like a little creepy worm? Like a, what do you call them? Parasite.

Oh, yeah, they're a little, they're like wound maggots. Well, they're maggots that eat living flesh, not dead flesh, which is pretty sick. Isn't that cool? Isn't that fun? Awesome. Oh, they're related to the blowfly. They're pretty nasty. And they're in Texas right now.

Touch no cows. Unless you really want to... Is it one of those things? It goes from cow to man. I think... I don't know. Again, I don't really know anything about this and I'm just sort of talking about it,

which I think is a great way to podcast. Yeah. Working in a warehouse environment with limited ventilation and only portable respiratory masks for the team, AFMAO personnel constructed a field drainage system, operated arterial and hypodermic machines

and adapted to constraints that would probably challenge even the seasoned death care professional. Even the same of season. Death care. Even the guy's on six feet under. Yeah. Do they say that in there?

Even that guy from six feet under would be like, oh. Quote, the 30 minute embalming is relatively unheard of. As funeral directors and morticians, abarming typically focuses on three elements. Sanitation, restoration, and preservation, explained Daniel. Daniel Wilk, a U.S. Army veteran

and death care professional of 23 years. Wow, you went to say Daniel. You went to say Daniel. Yeah, every mortician is a guy. I know. That common trope. Wilk and her colleagues completed the embarking process within the 30-minute goal six times, followed by successful full-body wraps performed by Marines and soldiers, demonstrating that rapid, respectful preparation is achievable even under the most demanding conditions.

I don't buy it. Like, you're just doing a shit job, right? You've got to be. Like, you're cutting corners, you're doing a shit job. That's what you're doing. Good, fast, cheap, choose two. Exactly, exactly. That's what I'm fucking saying.

Me thinks they're protesting too much with the maintain, they're respectful. It's like, oh, it looks fucked up, doesn't? Yeah, they keep saying. I keep saying it. I'm like, it looks fucked, right? Are you sure that, like, getting Seal Team 6 to do like an F1 car, tire change style thing to your body to a barbie who is keeping you, like, dignified? Listen, just because it turns into a slurry and sucked into a pneumatic tube on my back doesn't mean. That it's undictor phone.

Oh, yeah, where, this can't all be from people like, you know, the people that donate their bodies to science and stuff. This can't be that. Donate your body to science and it's in the fucking SEAL Team 6 speed embalming factory. Oh, man. Give my body to the world's fastest embalmers, pleased. They've got to be dealing on dummies or something, right? But it wouldn't work, right?

Are they doing it on like pigs? Pigs? They're probably doing it to pigs. They're probably pigs. Hell, I could embalmed a pig in 30 minutes. It's probably dead prisoners or something awful. It is probably the worst possible thing. I want to see we've done so much bad to pigs.

Pigs should rise up and figure out something new. Yeah, like in that book, 1984. In March of the Pigs. Animal, man. March of Pigs is crazy. Empire of the Pigs It's their time to show Whole planet of the pigs

It'd be really cool if there was like a You guys ever seen Phase 4 Movie about ants getting affected by crazy solar radiation And becoming super intelligent and organized And taking over the whole earth It's unbelievably sick It's directed by Saul Bass

Who did all the title cards for Hitchcock's movies Oh, my God. It has a... It's, dude, if you smoke weed, dude, you've got to watch Phase 4. I've been known to... I'm going to watch it tonight. It's so fucking trippy and cool. They also just did a 4K restoration.

If you can get it with the original ending, it's going to blow your fucking socks off. I'm sorry, there's multiple endings of the... The Ant movie has multiple endings? Yeah, there's one that's unbelievably cool, which was not the one that was released in cinemas, and the one that's fine. But the original ending is...

Oh, okay. mind-blowingly good. Anyway, I'm thinking, what if we got a phase four for pigs? Solar radiation makes them intelligent. They start sort of forming together. They build their giant structures to funnel sunlight as laser weapons as the ants do in phase four. Man, you've got to watch phase four. We deserve it.

I think we're basically describing the untold plot of the Angry Birds universe. You've played those, I think. I'm not sure where the birds come in, but at some point the pigs do form the antagonist. The angry birds. They're the evil empire in angry birds. Are they the dominant force in the world of angry birds? I think so. I haven't played any of them, but.

Okay. I think I played it a little bit when I first came out. Yeah, what actually is the beef between the birds and the... I don't know. I think they just don't like each other. I think it's a racial enmity. Racial issue. From different states in the Balkans or whatever.

Yeah, that's right. The pigs are Croatian. I'm sorry It's a treat It's a treat issue Wilk and her colleagues Completed Nope already said that

Quote It's doable It's 100% achieval And it didn't look sloppy Yeah protesting too much Why did you need to specify this Don't use the word sloppy Just leave sloppy

Out of your like It wasn't a huge mess And it's still maintain dignity, honor, and respect, said Matthew Metschke. Again. AMO's case management branch chief and former Army 92M. It looks sloppy. It didn't maintain dignity, honor, and respect.

That's my belief. It's going to turn you into a reason or something. Why are the focus on dignity? Like, what do you mean? Yeah, it's, I guess that... It's undignified, isn't it? I think they're like, they're attaching a tube to the top of your head, then they're grabbing you by the ankles and spitting you around to force all

the old fluids out through the tube. They're centrifuging you. Shaking your body around doing fucked up stuff. They've got to do a field centrifuge on you to get all your fluids out. And then they're jumping up and down to one of those like the foot pumps you use for doing an inflatable mattress, but to put fluids back in you. They're hanging you up like the, the grandma that got spun around on the journey. Yes. You're not dignified. You're getting spun around to get embalmed. It's no time for dignity on the battlefield. And plus, how much dignity can you really maintain when you've just become the butt of the ultimate joke? Death.

You know, you had dreams, you had hopes, you had memories, you had connections, you had feelings, you had secrets. And now they're all gone. Who's laughing now? What are you now? Hope it was worth it. Going to wherever you're deployed to right now. Iran? Who knows?

That crazy journey you have. fighting against the giants of Kandahau? Now, gone. Where's that? Never taste mother's cooking again. What was it worth? So, how dignified are you lying there? So they turn you into like a powder, right?

Like a thin, like this turns you into like a spice canister or something, right? It's got to be bad. Yeah. I think they're doing like, you know those, the toys you can get where you put them in water and they grew to like six times the size? So they're doing that to your body It's just more practical You can feel it like

In a big tank 30 minutes before my funeral They should just dehydrate you Yeah Dehydrate you like some Deb mashed potato And then like rehydrate you back home So you can have your soul On your funeral

Turn you into Deb Egyptians were doing They knew what they knew what they knew what that's like their whole thing You all got Deb over there You got Deb You got instant mashed potato With the hot water Deb?

Deb brand instant mashed potato? Deb? I fucking love Deb. I think you've got it. I'm pretty sure you've got it. I've seen it. Oh man, if you saw Deb packaging, you'd know. To me, it looks like childhood.

That is exactly what the late 90s looks like to me is a packet of Deb. Same. Is there a garlic one? Do you want some deb? I think. Yeah, there's a garlic one. I've never thought about having a flavored deb in my life. I think there's like one flavor.

It's like onion and garlic or something. Yeah. we have like a garlic and it's probably like it's America so we probably have like a buffalo chicken yeah or like a

there probably is ranch I bet there is ranch I'm gonna bet a hundred de blooms that there is a ranch flavored instant potato mix oh man how good is that Canadian old dress Deb

what is that shit slaps I had that for the first time the other day and it blew my mind the Canadian old dressed or whatever the all dressed it's what's that I asked a Canadian friend to mind this once.

And her explanation was that it's just all flavors. That doesn't mean anything. That is a perfectly meaningless. So it's a combination of ketchup, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar. So I guess a combination of the big four. Big four. Yeah.

That's a good flavor chip though. But I mean, at that point when you're combining that many flavors, that is just like the generic flavor powder that comes with anything that's like a mass produced food. Like a little bit of tomato powder, a little bit of vinegar, salt, pepper, whatever the fuck they put in barbecue. That's just kind of in everything. Just put it all in. It does kind of feel like the debris from a million different chip bags put together.

It's probably what it is. They're probably just recycling it. That's how. That's her saving money. We have a, there is a dog shit chocolate over here that is literally made from the crushed up remains of another one. Lucy, the birdie beetle is made from like It's like the remains of other chocolates

It's the byproduct of like violet crumbles or whatever Oh, that's terrible Yeah It's like harvested from Is it? I feel like it's good I don't think I've had one in years You can only get these at like fair

It's like at the At a carnival thing Yeah, they'd like show bag Material and that's kind of it You can't get them otherwise It used to be in the years. It used to be in the years KFC kids meal that used to exist in the early 2000s.

I don't understand what y'all are doing. What's KFC over there? Because it's all we've got. You guys have got options. You've got so many options. You've got Raising Cains and stuff. I got Popeyes. Apparently raising canes is mid, Lucy, I meant to tell you.

I meant to text you as soon as I heard. I heard apparently raising canes is mid now. I'm hearing it's mid. What are you talking about? That cannot be true. What it used to be going to know it's mid? They're saying it's made? I don't believe it.

They say raising gains is mid. I did like half Bernie Sanders. Raising gains shouldn't. No, that's Donald Trump. Fuck. I can't flip the twins. In a way, they're kind of the same person, right? Like, left and right aren't that different?

Left and right are kind of the same. It's kind of the same. Yeah. Like a shape, like a U-shaped. The sauce should not cost extra. The sauce should come unlimited with the meal. You guys remember when that Bernie Sanders wore a jacket. And he looked crumpy.

A piece of shit What a piece of male piece of shit Durd bastard How honestly I was like When I saw that I said he's wearing a coat And he's posed like this with his legs crossed How dare he? I was furious

Steamed up and steam came out of my ears I'm glad we got Trump instead By we I mean the world Acetaminophen Oh man I just This is a gripe but this is not good radio. I have seen some of the worst fucking jokes in my life about the Tylenol thing.

People are doing the lowest effort. And I realize that this is just people being like, lots of dumb memes of being like giving my pregnant wife Tylenol so our kid goes on the computer when he grows up. I think he might be conflating autism with a bunch of different stuff. There's lots of reasons to go on the computer or edit a Wikipedia. media page. That's what I'm maybe autism.

It's normal actually. You don't need a diagnosis. Do you ever feel like you've been online so much that you can see the arc of all of like the future posts that will happen, have happened? Yeah, when something happens. You can see the jokes coming. Fuck me. Like when the submarine thing, the billionaire got imploded or whatever, I feel like that was

a moment where I'm, I don't even need to be online for this right now because I can see the stars. I'm doing the thing in Dune where the, what's his name? Thufier, then you know his name Thufir Hawat probably Yeah, certainly Yeah, that's one of the characters from Jude Yeah

Yes The Men Tats Was going into his mind palace Yeah Yeah And people are still doing the submarine jokes now And not well Yeah

I think we just Maybe because the documentary came out Who knows Oh maybe Yeah true I just I have such a Like a An intense dislike of when

things become sort of like public domain jokes where they're just sort of stock things that people say, I guess I hate memes. I think I hate memes is what I'm realizing. I just hate other people having fun. I like to feel like I'm in an in-group and I don't like when the out-group makes jokes. Yes, yeah. Those are for us. Isn't that weird?

In here. Out-group kind of pissing me off. I fucking hate your out. Isn't that crazy how out-group just pisses you off? Sometimes I've seen like a signal from someone and I'm like, wait a second, I think you might be in-group. I like you. You I can get behind. The AFMAO plans to deploy mobile embalming units in future exercises to enhance capability and adaptability, especially in remote or contested areas.

From a mass casualty response standpoint, this rapid embalming process could prove valuable, not just in military operations, but in natural disasters. or instance where infrastructure is overwhelmed. That's just grim to think about. That one is grim. That is so grim. He just, what's wrong with a little, what's wrong with cremation? Yeah, burn them on the spot. Just burn them on, that seems like probably a lot easier.

It's dignified. That is dignified. A good symbolic act, the burning of a corpse. The end of the physical body in this point. Like, I don't mind the bugs. The bugs are, they're doing their fucking jobs, frankly. And it's time we get it. I think we hand it to the bug pit.

Field bug pit. Big bug pit. What about a bug bag? So much shit to bugs every day. And bugs are literally doing their, they're like waking up, doing their freaking jobs every day. They're facing widespread ecological collapse every day out there. And are we hearing the bugs complain? No, I don't like them.

I don't like them. Get them out of here. Now that being said, Daddy Longlegs, it's on site, my friend. Racking my shotgun up to see those little bastards. I hate those guys. It's the fucking legs. Yeah, it's the long legs that get you. It's the long legs that get you.

I was fine with daddy. Having a streamlined, dignified approach that balances speed with solemn respect is an invaluable tool for responders facing grim realities. I would pay money to watch like a time lapse at this. Oh, they're never going to let anyone see the process because it is sloppy. Beny Hill music, speedy, sloppy. For real. Can you imagine

What did the other guys in like the Air Force or whatever think of the mobile embalming unit when they rock up? Like, oh shit, dude, it's the mobile embalming unit. Like real, like the special forces guys from Sicario. Fuck. Are they soldiers or are they just there to embalm? I think they're warrior morticians. Warrior morticians.

They embrace the way of the mortician and the way of the warrior. Double threat. Yeah. Two things ladies love. A man in uniform and a mortician. And a mortician. Do they have like goth clearance to have like more of goth vibe? Like a black camo versus. Yeah. Tibera. Guy liner at work. Long black hair, top hats. Crushed velvet top hats. Like it's the only time black lipstick is allowed or something.

That would be so sick. I wouldn't join the military. That would be sick. there's um in the like uh french foreign legion there are special rules um for facial hair for the sappers like the demolition guys the engineers that like because of their shorter lifespans they're allowed to have beards i think they should definitely start just giving out wacky things like that like oh yeah yeah if you have to bombard people you're allowed to wear those like the contacts that Make it look like your eyes are all white. Oh, that'd be sick. You can have two piercings, yeah.

You're also allowed to have a guy with you who's like your Paul Bearer. Man. Hey, we need to stop, try to preserve these bodies and just let nature take them. We talk about nature in Nature Corner. Country roads, take me home to the place. I belong Winter Castle Nature Corner

Rob of Crap Snipped my dick This comes to us from KPRC in Houston, Texas Community Helps Woman Trackdown Stolen Therapy That's nice Is that nice?

Yes, it's nice and wholesome, nice and good. A pony named Funky Monkey is back home safe in Houston, Texas after a dramatic theft. It's undignified. Like this pony has a job. Yeah. And also, it's already an animal. Don't give it the name of an other animal. I don't want to say dehumanizing because it's not an animal.

De-doncazizing. Or, you know what I mean? It's not fair. It's not what I am. Yeah, that's rude. You need to recognize it's horse manity. It's don't. Vanessa Riley, who runs the non-profit peace-love and ponies,

said Funky is part of a program that provides free rides to children with autism and other disabilities. The 15-year-old pony, who has a condition known as founder, a painful condition that causes pain and inflammation in the hoof, was recently taken from his corral in the early morning hours. Surveillance footage captured the moment thieves broke in and dragged Funky Monkey away. Quote, they grabbed him because it would have been impossible to grab the other ones, Riley told KPIC. Funky Monkey was the lowest hanging fruit. I think they targeted funky.

Yeah, this is a targeted strike for sure. They've been casing the ponies. They're like, that one looks kind of useless. Get him. I want a kind of shit pony. I want the worst one they've got. It's funky, though. I'm sure to believe the name.

Well, yeah. After discovering Funky was missing, Riley quickly filed a police report. She then drove around the neighbourhood, speaking to anyone who would listen. From folks at local businesses to individuals experiencing homelessness, Riley wanted to find anyone who might have seen where the alleged thieves took Funky. I love to just walking around asking people. You've seen a pony that can't walk good? See a homeless guy. He's got an exclamation mark above his head.

You've seen a pony around here? Quote, I got out of the car and I asked every homeless person, every person sitting on the street, Riley said. I knew someone knew something. I knew it. As people listened to the story of what happened, they wanted to help. Quote, I had several people in the neighbourhood saying, we will find him and we will get him back, Riley said. For some reason, it struck the heartstrings of not just regular people, but the homeless community too. Excuse me?

Lady. What are you fucking doing here? What's with all this focus on the homeless people? What are you doing? Did you come to the news? Wow. Because some unhoused individuals were people, were being people? Like, what the fuck?

Normal people and homeless people too. What are you doing? Christ. I have enlisted legions of them at my beck and call. It's got like the John, John Wick stuff. I asked for the assistant. The existence of the Bowery King. Got the TikTok man.

It's like tiny horse. Eventually, she received a late-night tip she had been waiting for, and after taking a drive, Riley and her son found Funky Monkey tied to a chain link fence. The touching reunion was captured in a photo showing Funky and Riley's son sharing a heartfelt moment after their separation. Riley expressed compassion for the suspect saying she wishes them no harm.

Meanwhile, Funky is recovering from some soreness due to a lot of walking. I would probably wish harm on whoever stole my autism pony personally. Or you would, because you have a rigid set of rules and behaviours that people are allowed to do. My particular code.

Can't tag my horse. Johnwick reboot. We all didn't know we needed. That would be fine. What a strange article. It's odd, isn't it? Look, there's not a lot of juice there.

I think it was mainly just how dehumanizing this woman was. It's interesting. The name de-horsified that horse and this woman dehumanized those people. I don't want to imply that she might have done this, but what if this were an inside job of sorts to, I don't know to what end, but, you know. To drum up publicity for the autism horse? For my tiny horse. I guess so.

But then, oh, it shows up and tied to a fence three days later. Is a pony a horse? A pony is a horse. I said donkey earlier for some reason. That doesn't sound real to me. Yeah, we let that sound fake. I accused them a monkey being rude, and I myself called it a different animal.

Interesting. I tell you what, the first picture that comes up if I just Googled pony horse is simply delightful. That's one of the most beautiful images I've ever seen in my life. Pony horse?

And if your podcast platform player supports images, you've got to see a delightful image of a wonderful creature. That's nice. Nice. Are we seen the same one? I'm looking at one of, it's got a sort of one raised four leg

and it's staring wistfully into the distance. She's doing a delightful little canter in a field of daisies. Oh, that's nice. Good looking creature. Good looking pony. Oh, to be a small horse. Oh. We've definitely had the pony and horse conversation before.

I was forgotten. Yeah. Foles, baby horses. Pony's a species of small horse. Okay. Oh, they're all different. Pony. Small horse.

What are ponies? Maybe that's something we should chat about. We chat about stuff we should chat about. It's stuff we should chat about. Here comes some stuff we should chat about. Stuff we should chat about. Oh, to list of stuff to chat about. Stuff you should chat about.

Yeah, come some more stuff to chat about. We're chatting about stuff. Yeah, baby. this is just something I've been thinking about a little bit this week so I was like I guess I must have been

maybe 10 or 11 maybe it was briefly there was a magazine released in Australia and I think there was also in America called Newton which I think was a

spin off of National Geographic I think but it was like a sort of a science magazine like an American scientist or a popular mechanics or fucking whatever

type thing just interesting stuff about science but they always had a little thing at the start that was like what is the up and coming tech stuff that's happening

like breakthroughs are happening in right now whereas you know you're sort of getting glimpses of the near future of like the stuff that was just about to happen so look forward to it

in the next five to ten years or whatever now that was 25 years ago quarter of a century I just thought I would check in with you guys mostly you Jesse because you are a scientist

so you probably know about this stuff where we're at with these things flying cars I think I did that have been the same for like 20 25 years they're just not usable or good lots of companies say they're making them though

again we've talked about it it would be stupid there's no roads up there it's not smart also what happens when someone crashes one because they have like a regular drive slice it's just not a good idea that is true nanotechnology where did we get with that

a bunch of little guys are we using nanos that is that just like little little chips what is nanotechnology I guess it's just really small applications it's just small stuff right I'm thinking of nanomachines like the sci-fi

thing that's kind of what I thought we were working towards like nanites little things in your blood or whatever that are there to you know self-replicating we doing that guys I think that I was at the meeting the science meeting they said we got those we are deploying those

we should be seeing those in our best buys in a few years now just commercial name I don't know I've actually subscribed to Scientific American not to be an ad for them but I don't I don't know maybe they've done something stupid in the past but I really enjoyed a lot of their articles lately and it'll always be something like

scientists have invented a time crystal and then I never really clearly look on it past that but it's just cool to have like headlines like that and you can you can go farther and read the thing if you want to but it's nice to just see something like this bear has a they discovered has its own little song what just little stuff like that and that's what I feel like with nanotechnology it's usually like scientists have inflated a balloon in a man's uh testicle with the power of nanites or something something that me and lucy would see on the on the good doctor like the kind of yeah cutting edge tiny surgery stuff like the tilapia skins

Like tilapia skins. I'm reading about nanotechnology, and it's got examples of it, and it's got just like transparent sunscreen, scratch-proof films and materials, heat, stain-resistant paints. These are all examples of nanotechnology, nanomaterial, apparently. Do we just get this stuff but stopped calling it a special term? I think we just stopped calling it stuff. I guess they're just out there, isn't it?

So yes. Developing technology for applications on the nanoscale, so you could call like sunscreen, friggin nanotechnology, because it's like a little... The science of controlling material on an atomic and molecular scale used to create stronger, smaller, lighter, durable materials, product, substances, tools, or technology. I just thought that would be a bigger part of my life by now.

I was kind of hoping, actually, we have one that I'm really optimistic about. Do you see that thing that they've completed animal trials with stuff that makes your teeth grow back? Like a pill that makes you a teeth... Are you serious? Like, you grow more bone, and they reckon it'll maybe, well, if the trials go well, we'll maybe have it for human use by like the 2030s.

I fucking hope so, so bad. That's actually, that's incredible. I feel like we don't have great teeth technology. No. Like, we've just kind of accepted that you just lose them things. And we're living longer? Yeah. You have to deal with your teeth being bad for longer?

I need the teeth pill. Give me the fucking, I want that. I don't care how things it is. out of nothing, I'll take the jaw bone just new tooth or are we talking like

oh my teeth are fucked I've been worn down we're like building a tooth on I think it's that one I think your existing teeth regenerate

not like okay not like a thing where you you're forgetful and you've been taking twice as many teeth pills

for a week and then bam mouth just full of teeth I would put teeth on my knuckles with this I mean that's

that's nary don't like that at all yeah teeth are so weird when there's somewhere they're not supposed to be suddenly it's like a really disgusting thing for me isn't that weird where you're like oh this lady grew a tooth on her

foot because it's just the way that cells freak out in it yeah that's kind of like the nastiest of the things like Kronenberg style for me if you're like oh I've got a ear on my butt cheek I'd be like oh that's pretty weird if you got a tooth anyway it's not supposed to be I am not happy

or an eye eyes are pretty bad too I also had quantum computing on the list thought that was going to be a bigger part of life as well but it's not like you can just buy like a quantum computer for your home. What is that? Is that just a powerful computer? Yeah, but using something to do with states of quantum stuff instead of...

Sporting the quantum states. I definitely know what all that means. Yeah, I don't know. They don't teach us this stuff in fish science college, unfortunately. They don't... I learned all this stuff at philosophy school either. Honestly, you're probably a better chance there than a fish. So I don't think that they're still doing stuff

There's like academic work on it But I don't know Haven't seen that in home 25 years still nothing So pretty disappointing And lastly I have bringing back the woolly mammoth I read one of those articles in Newton magazine when I was I guess like 11 years old that was like we're so close

To bringing back the woolly mammoth Where is it? I'm anti bringing back extinct animals Yeah I saw a documentary about it It went real bad towards the end it's Jurassic Park You won't believe what happened in this movie You won't believe what happened in this dinosaur movie

Oh man See I used to read PlayStation magazine When I was a kid You're not like other girls Gaming former That's right And I mean the stuff in there about the new technology That all came true

About like the PS3 Yeah The PS3 Games look cool on a PS3. Games look better now and they have 200 gigabytes and take up all the space

on my PlayStation. I think the rate at which games were getting better when we were kids dropped off real. Like I think if you compared

what video games looked like in 95 compared with 2000 and then from 2000 to 2025, who cares? Oh, it looks kind of like a photo.

Nothing to be impressed by anymore. You can't improve the graphics on anything. Make a better game. AI didn't get any better. Nothing got better than the radiant AI that they used in oblivion and then got rid of from oblivion because it was too unpredictable.

That was too cool. Did they have like an AI when you like chat to people? It was just like they would sort of try and organize their own lives based on their desires but they all would do completely insane things for no reason. It was too powerful. They're like simulating the interactions and stuff. I think that'd be cool. I always wanted to make a video game

where you're just like a bug or something I always bring it back to bugs where you have like your own all the bugs have their own little wants and needs and stuff but a lot of hardware I guess you're up in bed and you were a bug that book is crazy that fit non-frey

I was trying to think of a word for a book that's true so I was like trying to make the joke that I thought that was a real thing but I couldn't think of the word for that it's non-fiction that book was very crazy very similitudinous as hell wait what happens in the bug game what's the bug game you're making

um I just thought it'd be cool to like simulate the in an ecosystem of bugs and they all have to like satisfy their like nutrient needs and shit are we doing like a warcraft of bugs or is this like a your role there's it like a oh fuck a warcraft of bugs would be cool Warcraft 3 of bugs.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a million dollar idea. That's a million dollar idea. It's called bugcraft. Bugcraft. I play a lot of bug craft. I probably play a lot of bug craft.

That probably exists. Like there's probably a sort of... They got a B simulator, right? There are a few games on Steam like this. There's like RTS is where you play an ant colony that has to like destroy the other threats to the ant colony. I forgot what it's called, but it's pretty good. I think there's a couple of them, actually. I mean, I guess that's kind of warcraft for ants.

Oh, how about this, dude? They're just living it. They're living warcraft. Empires of the undergrowth command swarms of warriors at an unprecedented scale of warfare and this blend of RTS and base building lead ant colonies against the many fearsome threats of the insect world. Okay, okay. I think that shit is cool because you, especially if you have to harvest, the ants have to eat like, oh, they need this much protein and fats and sugars or whatever. So they have to find different parts of the diet and stuff.

I think that would be cooler. and whatever these kids are playing with their fortnights and their StarCraft twos and their all that shit. Yeah, that all sounds really cool. I'm going to go back and play Call of Duty multiplayer straight after this. It's my 250 gigabyte downloads. Same game.

Did you get the, is there a new one? There's not a new one yet. The new Call of Judy? Isn't there a New Call of Duty? There's one coming out. And you know what? I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy it. Can we play together if it's, is it crossplay?

Yeah. We can talk about this offline. Get Call of Judy. Card with us? No, absolutely not. I'm so fucking bad at video games generally. I'm not good at time. First person shooters specifically.

I'm fucking dog shit. I just want to give a quick shout. While we're talking about different themes of RTSs, for, I'm going to say like, maybe a decade. I was trying to remember the name of a game that I got on like the demo disc that came with a copy of like PC Informer or a PC gamer or whatever that I thought was really fucking cool. where it was like a Starcraft-style futuristic RTS,

except it's all underwater, and you've got like submarines and underwater bases and stuff. And I just couldn't find it for ages. And I eventually figured it out. It was called Submarine Titans, and it's Australian. It was released in 2000, and I think you can get it on Steam at the moment, maybe.

Oh, my God. I love submarines stuff. Man, I played the first one hour of so many fucking games. Me too. So good. Yeah, I've ever just played the same demo like 300 times

and then nowadays I can't get anything to hold my attention for more than 15 minutes or it's amazing. Yeah. Something's happened. It's probably something in the water. I think something happened.

Probably not my bar. What did they do to us? I think this was definitely an episode of the podcast, Punta Vista. Thank you the listener so much for joining us and thank you, Jesse.

Oh, it's a pleasure. Are you still doing Sludgefest as well? brother i should get back to it i just need to uh i feel like i'm finally ready to read some more books about environmental atrocities again but it's real what you believe it's kind of a downer after a while i'm like dang what do i though of course i just got a i just got a book about a history of an italian like an asylum i think or a guy who in an italy who uh like closed all of the asylums in like the 20s or something apparently it's really cool uh but if it's good i'll remember what the title is, but

anyways, that's not relevant. I am on, I got off all the other social media, honestly, except for like, fucking this, so. But yeah, we're watching Monk and the Good Doctor still. I'm on, I have no, I got off Twitter. You're off Instagram? I got off Luski.

Oh, I am on Instagram. I don't really post. I'm honestly just looking at the weird people and the animals and stuff. Marcus. Just looking at Marcus videos mostly. Marcus. We love Marcus. Who the fuck is Marcus? What are you talking about?

Marcus VR chat. The crazy shrimp, VR shrimp. He's, apparently he's a worm. He's a shrimp. Marcus is a shrimp. This is all I get in my Instagram feed anymore, and it is making me feel so much better. Oh, I've seen this creature. I love that guy.

All right. This looks like the sort of thing that whatever I look over at Maddie's phone, something like this is on the screen. It's just done. It checks out. It's all that's in my feed now. Yeah. It's that or it's Steve Lovie.

Poisson? Is that... You guys see that guy? Who's that? Which one's that? Is that a fish guy? It's like a French fish? Le Poisson Steve? Oh, no. I don't know Le Poisson Steve. I love learning people's online characters that I've never heard of in my life.

Me too. They've just lived in completely different online lives to me. You don't know gummy? It's fucked. There's like a New York Times article about Le Poisson Steve from the 14th of April this year, which means it as well and truly dead. Times got it a couple of months ago.
