Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, Don't chat much in the real life. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think I've got used to make certain answers. Uh-oh. Hello and welcome to Bonte Vista, episode 416. I am Ben and this is a new version of the podcast
Starting point is 00:00:34 we've pivoted to where we just talk about stuff in Orkinflower, Turinga and Milton because it's just me and Lucy. Lucy, what is the deal with the Baruna Road Shops car park? Am I right? Am I right? You know what it's like down there? It's fucking crazy dog.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Oh, it's crazy down there. Actually, you don't even know how crazy it used to be. So you moved here since before they changed it so there was only oh no it's okay so what you're going to understand is right now it's one driveway in and out into a sort of like it's a dead-end car park which is fucking terrible before that two driveways unidirectional but before that two driveways bi-directional but it's not wide enough for two cars to pass each other like ever it's not it's not wide enough and they've got to
Starting point is 00:01:23 have a guy there sorting it's because of that new coals you know it was better when it was the I miss the IGA. You barely even got to experience the IGA. I read about it in the neighborhood group all the time. I genuinely miss the I GAA. That was, you know, I wouldn't go there for my fruit and veg. I certainly wouldn't purchase. I mean, I go to Milton Fruit Bowl for my fruit veg. You go to Milton Fruit Bowl, which has had to close from month because of the fucking Coles going in. It's unbelievable. God damn. And like sure. We should definitely talk about where we live in our local neighborhoods. I think everyone has a vague idea of. I think everyone can figure it out if you wanted to.
Starting point is 00:02:00 We're so locatable. It's crazy. And it's never gone like bad, bad. It's just at times been somewhat unpleasant. It's just sometimes been unpleasant or annoying, but never bad. Which is the price of, you know, we're trying to live out loud. It's the price of fame. It's the price of fame.
Starting point is 00:02:16 You know, it comes with the territory. I think there's a certain level of authenticity that people get from us when we describe the shops that we go to, the roads that we work up. The bar that we hang out. at the roads we walk down. And I think if we didn't give away all of these personal details of our lives, people just wouldn't connect with us, I don't think. That's it.
Starting point is 00:02:35 We'd just be like another celebrity podcast, another Amy Polar. Yeah, that's right. I can't, I'm like, since we talked about it now, it's gotten worse. I have to look at Facebook a lot for work. I don't really look at it much for my personal life other than Facebook marketplace. But every time I'm on the app, the little preview of, what are they called when they're on Facebook? they're not reels they're shorts or something no that's youtube
Starting point is 00:02:59 what does facebook call them whatever facebook's reals whatever facebook's reels whatever facebook's reels maybe they're facebook reels who knows oh they are reels on facebook as well the first video in the preview right this time it's the third now that i'm looking at it but always one of the three that's visible is amy pola and she's talking to someone else yeah mine's pretty much pretty much the same just constant i'm not clicking on it no Yeah, but sometimes I'll mouse over it because it starts as Amy Paula's face and I want to see who the person is. She's asking Catherine Hard about introversion.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Cool. Now, that's got to be good stuff. These are all people that I like. This is the worst thing about it is that they, everyone I see on there is someone I, like, that's a comedian that I think is funny, but it's the exposure. Yeah, in that context. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:03:48 It's not going to be any good. I also don't really want to hear someone that's like, you know, she's not like billionaire wealthy. But, like, this is so terrible. But there is just a point where I don't care what I hear someone talking about mental health. Yeah, me too. And it's like someone that is extremely rich is like, oh, I have anxiety actually. Come on.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Fuck, it sucks. Come on. You can afford, like, going to see a psychologist and ketamine. Awareness, good. Good. Everyone should know that other people are experienced these things or whatever. But it's just like watching two people be really like put their serious for. base odd to be like anxiety.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Mental health. So important. You don't have anxiety because you can go to Italy three months of the year. That actually cured your anxiety. I think it is. Like I know that like mental illness isn't cured by just exercise and whatever. But I think there is a level of money that you can cure your mental illness. That's what I believe. A level of Tuscany that will kill your anxiety.
Starting point is 00:04:48 A level of the south of France that will cure your anxiety. Yeah, sure. I would be depressed in France. but I would be in France while I was depressed, you know? Why don't we try that, huh? Try being depressed in France. Yeah, fuck. Yeah, take them down.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I'm just sick of people being successful. I think I just hate anything that's marketed. It triggers a, you know, when you can tell there's a push. Do you think you just hit a certain age and you just start hating this stuff? Because I think I think that's it. I don't think it's a generational thing. It's just age. Time, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:23 if there was if I can tell that something if a concerted effort was made to put something in front of my eyeballs I do not want to see it at all I've been in a way that doesn't help or change anything in any way shape or form but every time I make it like a Spotify radio or whatever to put on while we're at work we have a listening device that means that we pay APRA don't worry if you got angry because I said that we are paying APRA royalties, okay? Really? Yes, because we are good people. But every time I start a radio, I
Starting point is 00:06:01 automatically delete the second song out of it now. Because the second song is fucking... Is that like the marketing song? Oh my God. Is that where they just put in the Sabrina Carpenter? Every fucking time. I'm starting to like block the bands that are coming up as the second song. Like I was on the verge of blocking Brian Jonestown
Starting point is 00:06:17 massacre the other day. A band that I like. Wow. But because they're about to tour, they've clearly paid for Spotify promotion and the second song in the radio was always the paid promotional slot every fucking time. That makes sense. I'm starting to turn into like the guy from the movie, the number 23, about the number two spot in the Spotify playlist.
Starting point is 00:06:38 All these bands, I don't give a shit about. Because I get the same thing every time I like go to my, it's like, oh, metal mix. I'm like, cool. And every single day, it's like sleep token? Hey, I've managed to avoid. You didn't like it last time. How about now? I've avoided sleep token.
Starting point is 00:06:53 entirely. Oh, that's getting hammered to me. It's like, you want this, and I keep saying, no, I don't. I've blocked a couple of artists just to stop them from, okay, well, this time, the second song that's turned up on this radio is actually a band I really like. So maybe it's the exception that proves the rule. Maybe. This is on radio, you reckon?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Yeah, it's on radios. It's always, well, mostly always the second one. It's making me kind of crazy. I believe it. Bar Italia. Whoever the fuck Baratalia is, I just had one week where they kept coming up as the second song on every radio that I started. I've never listened to music and I fucking hate you for giving money to Spotify so that you were showing up in all of my shit. I don't care that you were touring a month ago or whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Get out of my fucking life. Yeah, Bar Italia. Get them. And this podcast can just be our own personal grievances. Yeah, maybe they should just be a complaint of us here today. Yeah. Yeah. Andrews on holiday
Starting point is 00:07:53 Theo has straight up disappeared and if it turns out that he has died we will delete this part from the episode We'll probably delete it But for now he ghosted us He did ghost us And I have no other way of contacting him Other than
Starting point is 00:08:07 I mean We know where he lives Yeah You go to his house Got him on Instagram I guess But I don't think he'd have notifications on for Instagram Really occasionally he'll post an Instagram story It's insane what he chooses to post as well
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yeah, really odd. I can't get like a grip on it. It sometimes will just be like a, a, it'll be a humorous thing sometimes, but not like hilarious, funny that if you were going to spend, like, do one story post in a month, that it would be funny enough for that. It's just kind of like sometimes like a mildly funny thing he saw.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Oh, that's right. He has an Instagram account. That's strange. Apparently he will like comment on Maddie's story. but he's never like replying to them but he's never doing it to me that's fucked yeah I know it's pretty fucked up I think he's moving in on your wife I got buddied by his wife the other day just said I'd help her out with something and I got a thanks buddy like oh Caitlin I don't know I feel like we've known each other for like a decade I
Starting point is 00:09:10 just feel like buddy's very very champ yeah yeah it's very champ it's very champ it's very legend calling each other buddy or calling each other champ it sounds like something they do in america we talk about america in america watch this is from the reading eagle in Reading, Pennsylvania, swallon of at least 1,000 motorcycles, ATVs block old route, root, route. Which one do we say? We say route. I say route. I think we say root.
Starting point is 00:09:59 In the songs and stuff, it's Route 66, isn't it? You're right. Yeah, Route 22, it doesn't sound right. I don't want to say root. It doesn't feel good coming out of my mouth, so. I think it sounds great coming out of your mouth. Americans would never understand having someone come up to you and saying, Good, hey, you want a root?
Starting point is 00:10:19 Truly, like, one of the most abhorrent sentences. And that's not like us doing, like, a gross stereotype. There is just like... There are people who use that term. There are time... People will just do that. After 10.30 at the tavern coming up to you. Down at the old tavern.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yeah, I was picturing the... Oh, fuck, what's it called? If it's just a Harvey Bay tavern, that's embarrassing. That was one of... This is a terrible podcast. You know what? Ignore that. Scrap it. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:10:50 What do you want us to do? What do you want us to do? Ben and I see each other like five times a week. We've already done all of our chats. It's already happened. We've already chatted. Fuck, what is the name of this fucking place? Lars, if you're listening to this, I need you to tell me what the TAV was short for.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Is this one specific tavern that you're speaking about? I'm sure there are a thousand pubs called the TAV. It's not like a medieval tavern. It was a shit pub. In the middle of Harvey Bay That was just like one of the three places you could go You could go to the Irish pub You could go to the TAV
Starting point is 00:11:25 Or you could go to Whatever the fuck our horrible nightclub was called And that's where you're getting asked Do you want to root? You want to root? And he's like, oh, nah You want to root? Nah
Starting point is 00:11:36 Yeah I can root Hell I could root Oh hell I could root Yeah go on then Just a little root Just a little roof, a few small routes. A swarm of motorcycles, mopeds and off-road vehicles of all shapes and sizes numbering 1,000 to 2,000 brought traffic on old route 22 to a standstill over the weekend when their riders stopped and revved their engines in the middle of Charlottlesville, state police said.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Come on. It's not called Charlestville. You're telling me, Charlottesville got mobbed by between 1,000 to 2,000 small vehicles? How I'm going to say I need to go to the toilet from now. I've got to visit Charlottlesville. One-way ticket. It's going to pop over to Charlestville. Hopefully not a one-way ticket.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Even on the midnight train to Charlestville. According to state police, Troopers from the Hamburg station were on routine patrol in Upper Burn Township about 2 p.m. Saturday when they saw the throng, which included ATVs, side-by-side utility vehicles and other off-road vehicles, roaring eastbound on old Route 22. A swarm of ATVs. Well, so like ATVs, UTVs, motorbikes and mopeds. It's just kind of a random collection of vehicles. Yeah, the mopeds, I feel like probably... You showed up to the ATV and motorcycle revving thing on your moped.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah, I don't know about that. Oh, man, I saw a great thing immediately before we started recording. I was walking loo. And like just before he got back to the house along, I'm not saying what road it is. That'd be silly. It's a relatively main road. And I watched a guy try and cross at a place that he shouldn't have tried to cross
Starting point is 00:13:36 because it's on like a blind sort of. He's in a blind spot on the other side of a hill on a four lane road. nowhere near any traffic lights or anything and i was like oh brother you should probably just cross the lights anyway i'm watching him and like as he goes to do that like half jog across the road goes to take a hit from his vape and then as he does it his phone comes flying out of his pocket and then lands on the road and he's like halfway across sees that his phone has fallen out is like still got the vape up to his mouth looks really paralyzed i'm like oh my god this guy's about to get hit by a car he's smart enough to just keep running across instead of going back for his
Starting point is 00:14:11 phone but then he's turned around and he's just staring at his phone completely frozen because he's like the longer he leaves it there or likely it is going to get crushed by car but he has to run across grab it again still vaping and he knows that I was the only witness of this happening so he's giving me like who's going to see this coming kind of eyes I'm just like I had nothing for him I was trying not to laugh at him because I didn't want to make his day worse but I also didn't want to condone his silly behavior yeah you know what happens when you're silly you were being You know what, don't cross on a blind spot on the road. Maybe don't vape while you're doing it.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Just looking at him like when a toddler is like fallen over after they were being stupid. You're like, well, I told you. Don't swing on your chair. Don't swing back on your chair. I hope he learned a lesson from my neutral facial expression. No, really. At the intersection with Wolf Creek Road in the village of Charlottlesville, Charlottlesville, Wolf Creek.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Getting Wolf Creek. creaked in Shattlesville? The Shattlesville, Wolf Creeker? The group stopped, blocking vehicles from moving through the intersection. Riders revved their engines, spun their tires, and performed burnouts in the road, creating excessive noise and unsafe conditions. Now, obviously, I don't endorse this. No.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Pretty cool. But it would have felt like super cool. I don't know how you're doing... You're not helping with the moped. No, the moped's not doing anything. You try and rev one of those. Reving and, like, getting smoke out of a moped? No, that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You could just hear, like, this beautiful cacophony of engines revving, and then just a little mosquito wine of the one guy on his moped. Troopers tried to disperse the group. While most riders dispersed, a 16-year-old boy from Grantville, Doffin County was seen trying to restart a moped in the intersection. You shouldn't have brought your moped. But That's rough
Starting point is 00:16:14 Imagine being like the least cool guy At the Shaddlesville Motorcycle Muster The Rev Muster or whatever it is Everyone's fucking getting away And you're just there like Oh come on, oh geez Ah geez
Starting point is 00:16:28 Ah damn Oh heck, come on start old girl You I should have brought my ATV Try to push it down the road as fast as he can to get away from the cops. He's picturing the gayest little moped, too, like that little Vesper. Oh, 100%. He's got one of this beautiful, like, 60s Italian ones.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Beautiful, shiny 60s Italian one, yeah. Yeah, he's got the one from the last exorcist or whatever the fuck it's called, the Pope's exorcist. The Pope's exorcist. He was arrested on charges of risking a catastrophe, obstructing highways and various summary traffic violations. Is this, did this guy, was he the fall guy? He's the full guy?
Starting point is 00:17:09 motorbikes he's the last guy left when you'll like bail on the bill at dinner ultimo ombre the last man standing this is such a shit deal for this awful like he's the only one getting charged it's fucked 2,000 motorcyclists just going off on their ATVs their motorbikes off into the sunset one guy's just sweating oh oh hey officer um well you see I was just riding my moped to work at my job.
Starting point is 00:17:42 It's going to Pizza Hut. This is my delivery moped. Oh, geez, mister, you've got to believe me. I was just trying to fit in. He was just trying to fit in. Is he 16? 16 years old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Tragic. A whole life ahead of him. They've fallen in with the wrong crowd. You're falling with the wrong crowd. One minute you live in your life, you're at your mother's house, eating her baked Ziti. Yeah. The next, you got your asses in prison because you fell in with the wrong crowd. Yeah, you're in Dauphin County Jail.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Getting mean mugged. What do you reckon this was? They don't make any kind of guesses being like this was, you know, maybe this is one of those rides for charity or something. Is it just they've been on Facebook and made like an event? Yeah, probably. Surely. Charlottlesville Street Takeover.
Starting point is 00:18:33 But the teen is maybe, he's obviously not dobed on everyone. He hasn't snitched He hasn't ratted him out He didn't say which motorcycle club this was The ATVs and stuff Kind of throw this out Because it's not like this is just some chapter of the fucking Just some motorbike
Starting point is 00:18:52 Just some like gay motorbike stuff Yeah You know what they're like Yeah I think I mentioned this on the podcast before maybe But years and years ago One of the times I was over in the US I was driving along
Starting point is 00:19:06 In the middle of nowhere driving on a highway somewhere while like George is asleep in the car next me like in the passenger seat I'm driving and like I see in the rearview mirror it's like 60 guys on motorbikes coming up behind me and they're coming up really really fast and I'm like oh that's pretty crazy and I'm just like well I'll just say in my lane and I'll just see what they do and then the guy at the front puts his hands up in a sort of like let's open this circle pit up kind of gesture and then all of them part perfectly and go around me. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It was, I'm driving like a rental, like, fucking Nissan Centra or whatever. And there's just like, all these fucking patched motorcycle dudes going around the car. But not to intimidate you, not to surround you and start revving and doing it and mean-making me. No, no, nothing. Like, none of them even looked at me. I'm just sitting there just trying to hold the wheel, like, perfectly steady. I'd just be like, you know what? I'm a look forward.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I'm going to keep my eyes forward. Just keep eyes forward, yeah. It was a very strange experience. I thought that shit only happened in movies. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. That's pretty cool, actually. That's really fun. Great.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Troopers also charged his mother, Lynette Ortiz Garcia, 33, with corruption of minors in connection with her son's actions. She's a mailed a summons to appear for arraignment later. So maybe her mom was like... Mom's involved. Mom's a patched member of the Charlestville. It's all connected. It's all in the family.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Shardlesville, MC. Yeah, he's... He's not a full member yet, but he's a pledge or whatever. I don't know much about that sort of stuff. Hey, remember Sons of Anarchy? I was just thinking about it the other day. I've seen every episode of Sons of Anarchy. What?
Starting point is 00:20:49 Why? Because of that Charlie Hunnam? You like his beautiful blank face? I think that must have been it. This is a long time ago. I feel like at one point it was a good show. And now I think back on it, I'm like, that's a stupid show. Yeah, I believe that.
Starting point is 00:21:03 isn't there like a spinoff that's still going the Mayans MC yeah is that still happening or is that I don't make that up I've been watching some no it's definitely done I've been watching some torrided stuff lately that still has the like up next on FX kind of stuff on it so it's clouding my idea of what
Starting point is 00:21:24 what are all new episodes turns out it was all new episodes from the past they're not all new episodes from now that makes sense yeah there was like a weird moment for motorcycle club stuff around the time of Sons of Anarchy. There was some shit movie with Vinnie Jones. All from the Sons of Anarchy, like cultural, the cultural power of Sam Crow. Fuck, Hell Ride.
Starting point is 00:21:49 That was the one. Yeah. I feel like Hell Ride was David Caradine, Dennis Hopper, Michael Manson. David Caradine. Larry Bishop. Let's list cool actors we know. Now, that's a good episode of a podcast, but guess what? There's a lady on this one.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Not on the list. Only male actors. Only men. Dumb podcasts where people just list stuff that they like. That was definitely a trend for a while. We talk about trends in Trend Watch. This comes to us from Nutrition Industry News website, Nutra Ingredients USA
Starting point is 00:22:34 The Proteinification of Everything All right, I'm on board with this All right, you know what I'm talking about I agree, I watch there's a really good Drew Gooden video on YouTube He's the guy from the vine that says Road Work Ahead He does great YouTube videos and he did one of these
Starting point is 00:22:53 I hope so I know that one Yeah, yeah He's a YouTuber He made a good video about it recently Oh so there are other people on this beat People already talking about this? People are on the proteinification beat.
Starting point is 00:23:05 It's insane. Like, it's, I keep seeing, like, so many reels that are just, like, you know, high protein dinner. And it's just, like, a food with, like, a block of cheese in it. So this isn't even just, like, products that people are saying people are doing recipes at home. Like, I mean, you know, for reels and shit that are like. Culturally, like, I feel like the health trend has just turned. It's just maximizing protein in everything. Could I say something maybe?
Starting point is 00:23:33 controversial to you. This is a safe space. We're friends. I'm seeing a lot of stuff marketed to people where it's like high protein foods and people are buying them. Not seeing a lot of jacked people. You're right. I've seen an increase in protein, but not an increase in muscle mass. I think more people do like lifting and stuff at the gym than they used to. Like I feel like being strong became like a gym trend. Okay. Far more so than it was. maybe, you know, five to ten years ago, especially with women, power lifting and stuff. But it just seems like high protein is just like synonymous with healthy, which is not true. It's also just fucking odd to me.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I just like, I'm not a paragon of health. I have the body of someone that drinks between two and ten beers probably six to seven days a week. And, you know, what I have is a natural consequence of that. I live relatively but not super active life. I don't really do any intentional exercise. I would say the full extent of the dietary choices that I make are some days. I'm like, Christ, I've been eating like shit lately. And we have like a salad heavy dinner.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah. And then that is it. That is the end of it. I am not like actively being like, oh, fuck. Oh, my protein's looking a little low. Got to get more protein in. And I feel like my nutritional needs are like being met. I feel relatively healthy.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Because they probably are. I don't think we need as humans this much protein. And they're added to everything. It's just in stuff that you don't want it in. Like you'll accidentally buy a yogurt that's like got added protein. It's fucking disgusting. And it's like eating sawdust. Like I don't need it.
Starting point is 00:25:27 For me personally, if I see. an object on a shelf somewhere that has an additional claim about like this is a lower carbohydrate one or this is a higher protein one I was like oh so it tastes like shit like it's the bad one like this sucks us like you've made you have not prioritized the eating or drinking experience because you're trying to sell to people like oh fuck I've got to cut some of this out or I've got to get more of this I just can't live like that yeah and I'm not saying it's the only way to live
Starting point is 00:25:58 but it sounds fucking miserable. Yeah. It's just absolutely become like a marketing thing, right? Like big nutrition or whatever, you know. I just, no, no, it's really stupid. Just get some tofu. Tofu is like pure protein. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:17 You don't need to like drink a disgusting shake that's going to like give you constipation or diarrhea or both. Yeah, tell you what I've been doing lately that I've been really enjoying. I've been making like kind of salad dressings or pasta sauces depending on what we're doing with it where you just get like a shitload of like different fresh herbs or whatever garlic, a little bit of lemon juice
Starting point is 00:26:38 olive oil and then like half a block of soft tofu and then any other greens you've got that you can get in there been using radish tops, carrot tops, whatever, rocket blend that into a fucking sauce you've got half a block of tofu just in your sauce buddy that's protein that's protein
Starting point is 00:26:54 You're making your protein salad dressing. Man, and I'm not doing it on purpose. I'm doing it because you get a nice fucking creamy goddamn salad dressing out of it. It's really delicious. And because I'm not good with dairy. I'm sure other people are talking about this in a way that's, you know. Better educated. Better educated.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I'm informed. I feel like I got a pretty strong nutritional understanding because I grew up in the 2000s. You've got to forced to by societal pressure. But I don't know. I was vegan, which was for a few years, and I, like, did get blood test. All my shit was, like, great, so. Hell yeah. How yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Hell yeah, brother. You're taking supplements for that vitamin B12? Yeah, I get vitamin B12 injections, actually. I've got pernicious anemia. But also, if you don't have that, you can just ask, you can get the B12 injections behind the, from the pharmacy. You can just ask for them. If you have low energy, go get yourself jacked up on that B12.
Starting point is 00:27:53 You're pernicious anemia? It's like my body doesn't create the enzyme or whatever. I can't get it that way. You just never really hear that word. It's a good word. Other than in that delicious beer from garage project, am I right? That's right. What's just a bottle shaker staple?
Starting point is 00:28:13 Protein is taking on new forms and finding its way into everything from soda to chips to macaroni and cheese. You know there's already protein in food. This is what I mean. I keep seeing recipes and it's like protein-packed mac and cheese. I'm like, it's not protein-packed. It's full of cheese and butter. It already was. Man.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I feel like an angry Gen X, man. Sorry. Well, I mean, we've heard this right to be angry at the past because we lived through it. No, angry at the present because we lived through the past. Yeah. Just this week, Starbucks launched a protein foam ad on. option. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Oh my fucking God. Are you serious? This is fun. Yeah. And a line of lattes with protein boosted milk. The offering is part of the coffee giant strategy to drive innovation and modernize its menu, a spokesperson from Starbucks said, adding a reference to a blog post that stated, quote, our new protein beverages tap into the growing consumer demand for protein in an
Starting point is 00:29:16 innovative, premium and delicious way. Is it consumer demand or is it manufactured protein? It's manufactured protein consent. You know what's got protein in it is milk, like the milk in the coffee that you're ordering. Yeah. It's just, I think there is definitely like a feedback loop here of there being more stuff out there and people being like, oh shit, should I be more mindful of my protein intake? I think that's it. It's like, do I need to know about the protein in what I'm eating? Now I need more protein. billboards, there's actually one nearest to your house, for Rokeby. You've seen these Rokebys,
Starting point is 00:29:55 whatever the fuck they are. Is it like a flavoured milk? Why is it called Rokeby? I don't know, it's a really stupid name. It always makes me think of the Wizard of Earth Sea books for reasons that I'm not going to bother articulating. Rokeby protein smoothies. I'm seeing tons of these everywhere.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I just don't fucking understand. Obviously, I'm putting so many caveats into what we're talking about because this is one of those things where you can very easily fuck up talking about it. I think feeling good about what you're doing with your body is amazing. I want that on record. If having a lot of protein and going to the gym is what makes you feel happy. That's great.
Starting point is 00:30:35 But I just feel like I'm seeing a lot of people really concerned about it and that I'm not looking at these people and be like, well, they look like they're in really good shape. Wow, you're jacked. Yeah. Which, you know, getting jacked. I can't stop adding caveats. I don't want anyone to get upset at us, but it's weird. It's weird what's happening.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I feel like I'm going fucking crazy. It is crazy. Like you're protein chips and like protein popcorn. What are you talking about? What are you fucking doing? Do you want some protein popcorn? Get that shit out of my fucking face, dude. Secondly, I don't want popcorn from a packet.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I want popcorn from a box. Oh, yeah. Packet popcorn is absolutely disgusting. Except for that. There is a one cheese one that I quite like. My wife is a big popcorn packet kind of person. Really? A bag of popcorn from the supermarket, yeah. This episode is just going to be personal facts about us in our lives. It's more intimate. It's more close, I think. It is. How is Rokeby fit milk so high in protein?
Starting point is 00:31:39 Fit milk? Fit milk is made from fresh milk and contains no added protein. This means fit milk naturally has the same balance of whey and casein proteins as regular milk, but much more protein per serve. To achieve this, we use a cold filtration process to concentrate the protein by filtering out some of the water. Our process effectively concentrates the protein. There are no chemical techniques used in which you may encounter in products made with added milk or protein powders.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's concentrated milk. You concentrated the milk? You're having high strength milk? What the fuck? What I'm talking about? Does it taste milkier if there's less water content in there? It's lactose free? Now you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:27 They've filtered out the lactose and made it concentrated fit milk. Look at what they've done to us. You used to just get milk straight from the cow, you know? It's just suck on the teeth. And now these days they're taking the milk out of the milk and leaving the protein. Leaving the protein. but they took the milk out. I don't want milk in my life that much personally,
Starting point is 00:32:49 but at least if I have some, I want there to be milk in my milk. Am I crazy for saying that? We use two litres of fresh milk to create one liter of Rokeby milk. What are you talking about? Double strength fit milk? With no milk in it?
Starting point is 00:33:04 What are you saying to me? Oh, this is fucked. This world's so fucking fucked up. It's gone to the shit. market research firm spins has been tracking this trend for several years with the data showing that products with 20 grams or more protein you're experiencing stronger growth than lower protein level foods for instance shelf stable chips and pretzels and snacks saw 19% growth in the high protein segment outpacing the total category but breaking this down by protein amount revealed
Starting point is 00:33:38 that 10 to 15 grams of proteins saw a 5.6% increase while 15 to 20 saw 20.7 and the 20 to 25 grams of protein per serving segments, saw the biggest response with a 38.2% jump. So people are going to the chippy's aisle. You're like, ah, I don't know, not enough protein in these. Getting down to that weird bottom shelf and being like, oh, fuck, Mondo protein, Daddy Likey. And then not going to the gym.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yeah, I don't want to talk down too much. I know a lot of people's engagement with new. nutrition is just this really surface level like they'll look at the health stars and like there's people that that do just particularly like boomers like you ever talk to a boomer about what they think is healthy food oh i mean i'm i know that i'm definitely i think the things that you learn about food when you're in your i guess like late teens and early 20s maybe will stay with you forever like i think that there are people of a certain age for whom the biggest enemy is salt and like
Starting point is 00:34:47 because there's all these like trends about it too and they're all like monetized like when we were kids how much it was pushed how much fucking calcium you need which is sorry to be paid Evans about it it's like just something that was just purchased by the dairy industry for like a decade
Starting point is 00:35:03 basically in my head I still like I had some really unhealthy relationships with food especially when I was in my early 20s like a lot of people did I guess where I basically just for a couple of years would not let myself ingest a single carbohydrate wouldn't drink
Starting point is 00:35:21 a beer, wouldn't eat a chip, like wouldn't have fucking bread like, because I was just like you can't have carbohydrates, you will balloon out and you will never recover Yeah, we all have these things like that we carry from toxic diet culture
Starting point is 00:35:37 etc. And now I'm sort of got to shed the idea that now I've have like what I consider to be the healthiest possible relationship with food, which is I have become a, just eat what your body tells you, man. Your body will tell you what you need, which is often between two and ten beers. Just two to ten beers. Six to seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Occasionally my body will be like, hey, you need to eat a vegetable today. Have a fucking salad. And I say, yes, sir. One salad. Coming right up, body. Coming right up. Then tomorrow, two to ten. beers. Oh man. I had like a whole week of just eating trash because we were very busy with
Starting point is 00:36:21 work and shit and then we got to last night. We're like, no, we should cook something healthy and then five minutes later. All right. We're getting pizza delivered. Let's go. That's what my body craves. That's what my body craves and I get a veggie pizza. And that's balanced. That's what balance is. Eight pieces of capsicum. Eight pieces of capsicum, 12 pieces of oil. I'm feeling good. Quote, when looking at the data, what stood out was products that specifically have 20 grams of protein or more are doing fairly well across multiple categories that signal that consumers are showing interest in these products,
Starting point is 00:36:54 said Yvonne Chan, senior market insight analyst at Spins. They don't just want some protein, they want a lot of it. That's why everything's disgusting now, right? Yeah. Because like a protein drink has to have like fucking 40 grams of protein in it or whatever. I just, I don't, this isn't something where you can blame individuals this is like there are societal pressures to look a certain way this is you know shoved in our faces by so many different things and then it's consumer marketing that like
Starting point is 00:37:25 tries to tell you this is the only way that you can look like this or feel like this and you absolutely should and then people start doing it but right now it's protein like when we were kids it was like everything was like fat free yeah which is completely meaningless yeah oh this is 98% fat free because it's 2% fat yeah I get it Sure. Even with the growing number of new and innovative formats, protein meal replacements both saw growth with liquid formats up 13.9% and powder up 11% this past year.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Quote, protein continues to be one of the most dynamic categories at the vitamin shop and super supplements with momentum accelerating through 2025, said Jack Gaten, Vice President General Merchandise Manager at the Vitamin Shop. Now that's shop with two peas and an E at the end. Love that. I guess that's an Ameriour. chain of ye old vitamin shoppy
Starting point is 00:38:18 That's all right Gaten told N.I whatever this is, Nutra ingredients, that the protein bars and snack segments has increased by almost 30% year to date with RTD protein products up over 25%. Ascent,
Starting point is 00:38:34 maker of Ascent's iced coffee plus protein, is also taking notice of the impact GLP1s is having on protein intake. All right, so this is your a Zempex and your, what's the other one? I don't know how to say it. Wegovi.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Wegovi. Oh, wegovi? Is that what it is? I feel like I've seen the ads like on American TV. I feel like I fucking missed this entirely. Like there was stuff a couple of years ago where people were like, oh my God, there's this new drug
Starting point is 00:39:07 and celebrities are starting to take it and it just makes you not hungry. And then I guess, I guess it became mainstream, but I don't see it anywhere. I don't hear anyone talking about it, but presumably people are getting it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. People are getting it. I didn't realize until recently that it's just like an appetite suppressant.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I thought we already had those. But it's like an appetite suppressing that also suppresses, like, that there's been some success in it treating like gambling addiction and like other stuff like that. Yeah. Is it like an impulse suppressant or something? Again, don't know anything about this. If you're on it that's helping your life, great. That is fucking fantastic.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah. I just don't. It sounded fictional when people were first talking about it. And then I guess it became mainstream and then I immediately stopped hearing about it. I do have a probably controversial and wrong belief. Let's go. That it is somehow going to turn out to be the substance or the stuff. type situation
Starting point is 00:40:14 like it's the start of a horror movie where we're like we've got this miracle drug that does this with no side effects but guess what there's a shadow you in the attic now there's a shadow you you have a nobody like from kingdom hearts in the attic you've got a tethered from us
Starting point is 00:40:33 yeah you got a one of those or something I don't know I just don't know anything about them I'm just whenever we have a medical breakthrough that seems miraculous I'm like But at what cost? At what cost? Yeah, something's wrong with it. It's lead paint stuff. It's going to send people crazy or something.
Starting point is 00:40:50 This is all very unmedical and unscientific. So if you're getting annoyed at this, ignore it because I am stupid. Just throw it away. If you get annoyed at something we say, just throw it away. Let it wash over you. Let the thought come to your mind and then flow through you like water. Just put it on a leaf that's floating on a river and watch it and go, goodbye. Stupid opinion from an idiot.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I'll see you again, never. floating away on that little leaf I did see something the other day about it shrinks your heart though or something no that sounds wrong that can't be right let me double check that one episode of the good doctor uh GLP1 heart
Starting point is 00:41:29 shrinkage that sounds fake it can reduce cardiac muscle mass and cardiomyocyte size in mice and human cells that doesn't sound good I don't know I have no fuck on here. Goodbye. Bye, idiot opinion. See you never. Float away. Quote, with the rise of GLP1 medications and more and more consumers looking for easy ways to add more protein to their diet, having a product that gives you both your morning caffeine
Starting point is 00:41:57 as well as protein in a flavor that is a morning staple, something consumers are loving, said Jeremy Sweeney, General Manager of Ascent. So I trimmed out like 80% of this article because it was very long. There was a little more talk about the GLP1 stuff in here where they were saying that they reckon at least a partial contribution to this is the fact that a lot of people are on gLP ones and as a result they're not getting a lot of their nutrition through food because they're eating dramatically less so they want the food that they do eat to be more nutritionally dense which i don't know how true that is for like how many people what percentage of people that is but that's kind of what i'm talking about about how it became
Starting point is 00:42:39 mainstream and then I missed it and now this is having an impact on the sort of foods that people are eating. I feel very out of touch. Yeah, okay. Maybe that's it. What? We've got to get on those GLP1 TikTok, see what the girls are talking about. I know this is all really like a complex issue too. Like everyone's got shitty relationships with food because of the culture that we have. But it just sounds like a new kind of prison to be like instead of counting calories like we were 10 years ago to just be like, in a whole day is like counting your protein and maximum your protein and like don't you don't need to put protein in your ice coffee like it's it's miserable to me to try and like double dose yeah but then you know like I
Starting point is 00:43:22 have a relatively lackadaisical approach to food now and the price that I pay is if I accidentally catch myself in the mirror at a time I'm not prepared for it I go Jesus fucking Christ and then it goes away but at least you're not sitting there being like ice coffee is only got five grams of protein, I've got to use some fit milk. Fucking God. I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about fit milk. Fit milk.
Starting point is 00:43:48 They've concentrated the milk. It's the milk with twice as much milk in it and 100% free for milk. If I see you drinking a fucking fit milk in public. If I see you drinking a Rokeby, I'm slapping it out of your hands. Get that shit out of my face. Fuck off with your fit milk. Quote, this can't. category will continue to grow, he added. It has gone viral on TikTok and we don't see this high
Starting point is 00:44:14 protein trend going away anytime soon. As a brand, we're excited to continue working on new limited edition flavors. Yeah, sure. So this is, we're just trying to start a conversation. We don't want to have it with you, but we are try to start it. We're going to start it. You continue it in your own lives. Yeah. Start talking to your friends. And then maybe once you guys have really hashed it out, send us like a sort of executive summary bulletproof. Yeah, bullet points, minutes, just let us know. Your crew is thinking about protein. When you guys are posting up on the corner, be fit milks.
Starting point is 00:44:48 If you see your friend, if your friend's been drinking a roca be fit milk, I think it's time to just have a conversation with him, be like, hey, buddy, like, you're beautiful the way you are. You don't need an extra 10 grams of protein in your milk. You could just have two milks. Have two milks. If you really love milk, if you're a real milkhead, you'll just have two milks. Theo was alive.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Wow. Did he tell us he was going on holiday? He absolutely fucking did not. That's wow. Did he? Did he? I am not sure. I drink two to ten beers five days a week.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I mean, the last thing he said to me, said to us was fuck me, it is hot as a bastard three days ago. I thought he was just talking about Brisbane where we live. And it was, it was hot as a bastard at the time. It's very sunny I don't know if you Noticed that here It's crazy I don't think he did
Starting point is 00:45:44 I'm going back through his messages He didn't say fucking shit I don't think he told us And I think he knows he didn't tell us I think he feels bad And he should He should If he's listening to this
Starting point is 00:45:53 Specifically we told Andrew Hey don't bother taking your microphone To the coast We'll be fine Just the three of us Have a break Just chill out Have a little day
Starting point is 00:46:01 Have a little day Relax You know Us two work and stiffs Here on a Sunday morning Stuck here work and then going to a party. Oh, fuck me.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I just scroll back far enough to where Theo posted that picture of Zuckerberg dressed as John Wick. I don't fucking ruin John Wick for me, Zuckernerd. I'll kill you. Awful. He never said he was going on a holiday. That's fucking son of a bitch. Hey, Zuckernerd dressed as John Wick.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It makes me so mad I could beat him up with a lead pipe. We talk about beating things up with a lead pipe in with a lead pipe. with a lead pipe she's blanks and angry ready to start a fight with a lead pipe
Starting point is 00:46:51 she's seeing red she's swinging lead I'm going to hit you in the head this comes to us actually I've got two stories here this first one comes to us from KGUN in Arizona the gun.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Two Amazon delivery drones crash into crane in commercial era of Tollison. Okay. So those are out about, apparently, Amazon delivery drones. I don't think, do we have those here?
Starting point is 00:47:22 I don't think we've got, I feel like I always see these videos of like the pizza delivery drones and shit. Like, is this happening? I guess this is happening in Arizona. We, they definitely, they trialled some shit in Canberra like years ago where it would like deliver
Starting point is 00:47:35 a single coffee to you or whatever. And I think I remember some stories about them, like, falling out of the sky randomly, which is a delight. Because drones just kind of do that sometimes, from what I've heard. They just kind of do that. Yeah. I don't know how true it is anymore, but when they started doing drone shows, somewhere between, like, 1 and 10% of the drones would just drop out of the sky during the drone show. Yeah. Drop into Sydney Harbor or whatever, and then part of the job afterwards is finding all of the drones just fell.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Yeah. The drone falls. The drone falls, which seems safe. very fucking funny I'm just wondering ages ago we did a segment talking about
Starting point is 00:48:13 all of these companies that made like anti-dron technology there was a bunch of Australian ones that all had weirdly sinister names but stuff like drone shield or whatever where it doesn't fire an object at the drone it just sends like a bunch of interference
Starting point is 00:48:29 or whatever some sort of noise signal shit or whatever surely that was wouldn't be legally controlled. Could you just buy, like, a drone shield? The drone scrambler. Drone scrambler.
Starting point is 00:48:44 And, like, scrambler. Like, there's got to be, I'm not smart enough to know this, but there's got to be weird legislation around this. Like, there's no way that, like, the law has caught up with what drones are doing, right? No. Because it's something that feels wrong. Like, even when you're at a concert or something, you can see a drone. Like, it's an uncomfortable thing.
Starting point is 00:49:03 It's like, it could be just something that's, like, filming. a concert or it also just could be like someone's personal drone. It feels like you should be allowed to shoot it with a gun. Like that feels naturally like that should be legal and fine. The right to scramble. You should be able to scramble
Starting point is 00:49:20 any drone that you see. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think the UK actually has relatively right-bust right to scramble laws. The Tolson Police Department is investigating after two Amazon delivery drones crashed on Wednesday
Starting point is 00:49:35 morning. Officials say they are working an active investigation after the two drones crashed into a crane that was in a commercial area near 96th Avenue on Roosevelt Street. It's unclear if anyone was injured during the incident. So two crashed into the same crane, which is pretty fucking crazy. Like why would that have been the case unless they were both falling like the same route or something maybe? Something in there was calling to them. Something was there? All of the drones are heading for one place. All the drones are heading for one place. It gets like how all of the robots at I robot
Starting point is 00:50:09 hug up at the back of the shipping container. Exactly. Or all of the robot harvesters all go towards that one spot in interstellar. That's right. I love shit like that. Troops like that in movies. Oh, all the birds are flying towards this one house for some reason or whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:25 All the waymows are all driving in one spot. Fuck. I love that stuff so much. All the waymos are in one car park. Why? Why? Why? What's under there?
Starting point is 00:50:35 Love that. ABC15 reached out to Amazon, which provided the following statement. We're aware of an incident involving two prime air drones in Tulles and Arizona. We're currently working with the relevant authorities to investigate. On Thursday, Amazon told ABC15 operations are set to resume on Friday. Quote, we'll resume drone delivery in Tulleson tomorrow while continuing to support ongoing reviews by relevant agencies. Safety is our top priority and we've completed our own internal review of the incident and are confident that there wasn't an issue with the drones
Starting point is 00:51:05 or the technology that supports them. They crashed into a crane. They crashed into a crane. Stupid? No problem. Nothing went wrong on our end. What are you? How are we allowing them to do this?
Starting point is 00:51:19 There's no way that this is like efficient. It's more efficient than just having a guy deliver it. Like what? I mean, because the way we've figured it out is that you just don't pay people to deliver. You make them have way too much work to do in a single day than is manageable. you barely pay them. Yeah. And problem solved once and for all.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Like the outlay cost of getting the drones, surely the maintenance cost of like keeping them going, the risk if they do fucking fall out of the sky is enormous. I just don't know. Nonetheless, we've introduced additional processes like enhanced visual landscape inspections to better monitor for moving obstructions such as cranes. So now they look out for cranes.
Starting point is 00:51:58 They weren't looking out for cranes before. You didn't think about it. Like what is the goal here? We just have like, there's just like entire airspace. It's just full of drones. Like, there's a swarm of drones delivering fucking Amazon packages. Is that what we're doing? Sky full of dead satellites and space junk.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Sky full of dead drones. And then a sky full of drones just like fucking. We're not going to be able to see the stars. We're not going to be able to see the stars because the sky is going to be full of Amazon drones. Yeah. Amazon satellites, Amazon drones. Those little fucking dumb shit like six wheeled autonomous. delivery things, you know, the little guys, little esk on wheels.
Starting point is 00:52:38 How are they not just getting kicked over? I don't, if I see one of those things, it's on site. Man, I saw a video of one getting hit by like an SUV somewhere in America because it went on to a pedestrian crossing and this car has just gone straight through. You're not a fucking person. You're an esk on wheels. Why are you on a fucking pedestrian crossing? You're not a person and you never will be.
Starting point is 00:53:00 You never will be. You're bucket of bolts. A bucket of fucking bolts. I hate this shit. Like surely there's got to be some intersection here where the Waymo's are going to start hitting the little Eskies on wheel things because they're not programmed to look out for those because they're not person shaped.
Starting point is 00:53:17 They don't have like a fucking heat sensor or whatever. The Tesla's going to hit them because they're designed to like target and run over children. Exactly. So I got another story here which is in a similar sort of thematic vein. This is from the Associated Press. California police pull over a self-driving Waymo for an illegal U-turn, but they can't ticket. A Waymo... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Police at Northern California were understandably perplexed when they pulled over a Waymo taxi after it made an illegal U-turn only to find no driver behind the wheel and therefore no one to ticket. The San Bruno Police Department wrote in now viral weekend social media posts that officers were conducting a DUI operation early Saturday morning when a self-driving Waymo made the illegal turn in front of them. but the San Bruno Sergeant but San Bruno Sergeant Scott Smith Metungle so they can only ticket a human driver or operator for a moving violation unlike parking tickets that can be left with the vehicle
Starting point is 00:54:14 Cool So that's the trick is you just put a robot in there and then suddenly there's no fucking legal recourse There's no crime if there's no person No body, no crime But there's people
Starting point is 00:54:29 there's a bunch of fucking nerds in Silicon Valley. There's a bunch of fucking Silicon Valley nerds. Again, this is just like, we don't have Waymo's. Like, I can't believe that this is... Like, if I order a car and it shows up, it's a self-driving car, I'm not getting in that thing. No, didn't we just announce that they're going to start testing them somewhere in Australia, I'm pretty sure?
Starting point is 00:54:53 I just, I can't believe this exists. Sorry to be backwards about it. It's fucking insane that it's real. Like this is something we've complained about quite a lot, but like that we've just reached this point where the money behind tech stuff and even though it's just like fake investor money, none of them turning a profit, whatever, there's so much of it that they are able to move so fast that they are moving way faster than it can be legislated for.
Starting point is 00:55:22 But they're also doing it without ever properly testing it before it properly works, before we know for a fact that it's like bulletproof because there's no fucking consequences because your car does an illegal U-turn and you just go, well, there's no law on the books that says a driverless car, can't do an illegal U-turn. Yeah, they just put this shit out and then we have to navigate it
Starting point is 00:55:40 and, you know, just let whatever deaths it causes. Yeah, like, surely you'd be like, okay, there is a person and it's like every business analyst, every tester, every developer, every single person that works at Waybo should get the fine. Right out, fucking a thousand of them. A thousand, a hundred dollar fines or whatever.
Starting point is 00:56:02 It'd be like, okay, guys, well, make sure your car doesn't do that again because it was probably illegal to do the U-turn there for a reason. Because of traffic engineering, probably, huh? So maybe don't do that. It's insane to just have to throw it out and be like, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, we'll just fill the roads with these things, and then we'll just sort of let it sort of sort of itself out after all of the accidents have happened. Oh, I hate this shit
Starting point is 00:56:26 Yeah These things can have Deadly consequences But the people that cause them Don't have any real reprisals Which is so nuts to me Yeah A new state law that kicks in next year
Starting point is 00:56:44 Will allow police to report moving violations To the Department of Motor Vehicles Which is figuring out the specifics Including potential penalties The Los Angeles Times reports So they will have a way of penalising cars without drivers, maybe next year. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Cool. Until then. Yeah, just deal with it. Waymo spokesperson Julia, Alina, told the LA Times that the company's autonomous driving system is closely monitored by regulators, quote, we are looking into this situation and are committed to improving road safety through our ongoing learnings and experience, Alina said. You shouldn't have ongoing experiences to road safety.
Starting point is 00:57:19 It should have been ironed out in the details. Never ongoing. No learnings. No ongoing learning whatsoever. You go out there and you build your fucking Tartiville like fake city in the middle of nowhere and you get them to drive 100,000 hours with not a single fucking incident caused by them
Starting point is 00:57:34 until you let them out on the road. Yeah. You fucking creeps. I'll kill you. Go back and burn down the textiles factory. 100%. I'm right there now. You know what?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Gutenberg. Mistake. Babbage. I'll kill you, Charles Babbage. He'll kill you Charles Babbage. Eliza, maybe, you're in as well. Is that a name? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Maybe. There was probably a broad involved with that one as well, I believe. No doubt, no doubt. Yeah, Eliza, I'll fucking kill you. Oh, I'll kill you. I know. I think this is a different person that just happens to be called Eliza Babbage. I take it back.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Charles Babbage's wife. Oh, all right. Just whatever your name is. It's on site. Isn't it disgusting how women are raised from history like this? Oh, it's awful. Disgusting misogyny Whatever the misogyny is that made me forget
Starting point is 00:58:33 Charles Babbage's wife or collaborator's names or whoever it is I'm thinking of is maybe something we should talk about but not right now. It's time to talk about something else and stuff we should chat about. Here comes some stuff we should chat about stuff we should chat about.
Starting point is 00:58:50 There's a list of stuff to chat about. If you should chat around. Here comes some more stuff to chat about. We're chatting about snow. Yeah, baby. Okay, this is maybe the worst one of these that I've done so far. Go on. And I apologize.
Starting point is 00:59:11 But I thought, you know, it's you and me. It's just the girls hanging out. All right. J.Js, the Australian clothing retailer JJ's. Owned by Just Group, right? okay is that like just jeans yeah yeah right that's what you would kind of assume you'd be like JJ's short for just jeans it's like they're cheaper retailer okay I never thought of it that way all right okay well then that actually makes this not work at all I had been laboring under the
Starting point is 00:59:37 impression for quite a while that JJ's was like they're cheaper more child well like younger person focused one and it was JJ's like cute like just jeans turns out it was actually it was already called JJ's jeans warehouse in 19 In 1973, what it was restarted, and it wasn't bought by Just Group. 19703, Jayj's? Yeah. That's wild. Yeah, JJ's was around for 20 years before it was bought by Just Group, and then just
Starting point is 01:00:03 called, it was called JJ's before. I'd never really thought about the thing that you said in the first place. So I guess maybe someone else listening might have thought the same thing, and then they're probably having a good time. They're probably like, wow, that's mildly interesting. I always thought it was Jay-S, and if you didn't think that, Now, yeah, that's kind of really, that was the whole segment. Can I give you another one of these that's equally bad?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Yeah. But in a different vein. You know how you've seen the movie Die Hard? You know how Hans Gruber has his little book with him? He's like got a little notepad. He reads his speech out of it, I think, when he's like, where eco-terrorists, even though he's not really. It's just pretending because he wants the gold.
Starting point is 01:00:44 That's right. What else you reckon he's got in there? Like, she's shopping lists or? Because he's drawing sketches. He's one of those people that, like, sits down in the coffee shop. Oh, like, sits in sketches. Doing a little quick sketches. No, I think he's using it, like, girls use their notes app.
Starting point is 01:00:56 What do girls put in their notes apps? I've been, there's all these reels about, like, girls using their notes app to, like, put down their, like, thoughts about their relationship. Oh, they're diarizing in there. They're diarizing in the notes app. Not me personally. My notes apps have, which I can miss. Oh, mine's fucking insane. It's like half stuff for the bar, half stuff for the podcast.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I got some movies I want to see. Like, when someone tells me a movie that they think I should watch, I'll put it. in my notes app. How often are you watching those, like the movies that end up in there? Oh, I am. That's why I watched Paris, Texas the other night. Oh, that's nice. I put it in my list, like, probably like two years ago. You actually, of all the people I know, you have like the most follow-through of like a lot of people say, oh yeah, I'll put that on a list or oh, yeah, I'll watch that. It's just like a conversational cop-out. But often you say, oh, I might watch that when I get home. And then the next day,
Starting point is 01:01:47 you like, so I watched that thing. I did. I watched Casino Royale the other night, which I think we talked about on the podcast. Yeah, you've followed true. I watched it that night after we've done the podcast. It was really good. I got to say, I'm really enjoying that you have embarked on a new phase of your life where you're integrating weed into your lifestyle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:07 And the little, like, lightly weedy messages in the group chat from you when you're enjoying something are like the highlight of my evenings now. I love it. Just like, they're not silly. It's just they're appreciative. And I'm like, Daniel Craig is hot. He is very. hot. It's just really nice. I love
Starting point is 01:02:22 Ava Green in that. Holy moly, what a fucking smoke show. Yeah, it's great. My notes, like, just lists of, like, it'll be dimensions for things. I have one note that's just 600 by 1,200 mil. It's just like, basically it's standard panel size.
Starting point is 01:02:38 I don't know why I need to write that down. A lot of my own passwords. Oh, good. They're kind of like interspersed in like shopping list. So this one's just like English muffins and then it's got one of my like Apple passwords. I don't think this is healthy.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I have really long lists of potential episode titles from like while I'm editing, I will sort of note down phrases that I like that just now, you get a little poem like this one from September 17th, 2025, 10.15 p.m. I'm shrouded in darkness and I'm moving my body towards natural extension, chap and clear. My stats are fucked. Many good uses for corn. A little bit of cob. You're shooting out kernels. Congratulations. Eight minutes of cornography. Large gentlemen working at a spiral. I'm here for the corns feel. It's better than rupee core. Yeah. I should be putting this out there. I could probably. There's grass before schlitz. Taking back Sundays. A pissed off sheaf of wheat. It's all foghorn leghorn. Fifteen sad tigers. Can I get a gumbo? You can't tell from looking, but I'm getting hard. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful gator. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:03:50 This note is not related to an episode at all. This is a phrase that I wrote down where I was like, I can work this into an intro and I have no idea if that's possible. Uncle Moonbeam, who can't remember his past wives. I guess I was thinking like maybe you've got a hippie-ish uncle and he's brain so bad that he can't remember any of his essence. Uncle Mopee. Who can't remember his past ones.
Starting point is 01:04:23 I might just make that the episode title. That's easy. Yeah, that's easy. And you can sort of build up the scenario in your own head of how he would have been introduced. Yeah, you choose your own intro. All I had was the sentence. It's very evocative.
Starting point is 01:04:40 I'll say that much. I'm picturing Uncle Mood Beam in my head. I'm actually picturing him specifically as, from the television program, check it out with Dr. Steve Bruill. Hippie Joel is how I picture Uncle Moonbeam. P picturing him as Tommy Chong. That's Uncle Moonbeam. Oh, hey.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Fuck. Hey, Uncle Moonbeam. Hey, I think this was definitely an episode of the podcast, Bonta Vista. Thank you so much for joining us for this really just two guys chatting.

Theo sort of comes up with some of the really more abstract jokes. You're going to love Theo. You're going to love Theo. Andrew will sort of take it into strange new places they can build on from there for other jokes. Yeah.
