Starting point is 00:00:23 Oh, we've been reporting for one minute. Oh, hello. Hello, welcome the point of this time. It's a really good way to start a podcast. Oh, hello. Hello. Yeah. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:00:39 It's here here, and I am one of the members of the barefoot baddies. That's right. It's a musical supergroup made up of people who only go barefoot on stage. No. No. I am. I'm the baddie Stephanie Ashcroft, the bassist from something for Kate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Is she a barefooter? She is in this scenario. I've seen them perform several times, but I've never looked at her feet. Oh, you've got to. Ben doesn't look at other women's feet. That's right. Only my wife. Anyway, check that out if you have the time.
Starting point is 00:01:18 I am also here with Steve. Stephen Wilson, who is sitting behind a large piano, playing a mournful song about, like, data or computers or something or space on the keys. It's Ben. How are you? I'm good. I can't believe I doubted you. I'm seeing the images now. Wow, you are absolutely correct.
Starting point is 00:01:44 That is so strange. I'm being as serious as cancer. Now that we've settled this issue, Stephen Wilson also a barefoot. Stephen Wilson also a barefoot performer, yeah. Well, I've never seen Stephen Wilson. Is he from the beach boys? Who's Stephen Wilson? Stephen Wilson is from an occupying tree.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Oh, fuck's sake. And you might have heard there. That was sitting in Stephen Wilson's lap playing a stupid song about how much he doesn't like Muslim people or whatever. It's Tim Minchin. It's Lucy. Oh, fucking hell. Also, your hair stinks.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Disgusting. I'm so stinking. Thank you. I smell so bad. I'm so smart. I'm so smart, but also stinky. Yeah. And I'm barefoot?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Yeah. Your feet incredibly clean. Oh, absolutely. I couldn't remember his name just before the podcast started. So I just, I just googled. Australian barefoot pianist came up. So there you have it. And finally, doing the routine from when he was at.
Starting point is 00:02:51 a lecture theater fielding questions, sitting on a chair, and he started just picking stuff from underneath his toenail and eating it. It's the man responsible for much of the free software that we enjoy today. The Ganoo Project, the Free Software Foundation. It's Richard M. Stallman. Hello, Andrew. Hey, you want any of this? I'm good, thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You good? Yeah, I'd probably keep that for like the green room. at the least. Okay. I am kind of struggling to figure out where I fit in in this band. It's mostly just toe jam eating. To the foot stuff. I mean, we got, so we got one bass player and two pianists.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Is that correct? You got two penis? And, uh, and me, and me, a software guy. I'm a software guy. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. I mean, it kind of fits together as well as Punta Vista. does, I guess. I'll hum in the background. I've got to say it. I would like to count how many times Theo's done a barefoot intro. It's not the first, it's not the second. It's not the third.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's probably not the fourth. Let's get the Wikipedia boffins onto this. Oh, actually, speaking of the boffins. I don't understand what we're trying to draw down here. What are we trying to prove? Where's the crime? What do you mean? The intro that I did in the last episode
Starting point is 00:04:17 where I was trying to count as high as possible using numbers that are in episode titles. Yes. I was wrong. We can actually go up to 13, not up to 12. Someone did point out that I had missed one, one of our episodes, the 13th leg. Oh. So there we go.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Oh, is that a super early one? No, it's relatively recent. I think it's like two years ago. I think that counts as relatively recent. That does, yeah. Yeah, something like that. I call myself later. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Hey, those early episodes, simpler times. The only segments we really had were just talking about depressing stuff from the news and Dutch Watch. We do Dutch Watch in a segment that we call Dutch Watch. It's not on the soundboard. Well, while you're finding it, Punta Vista, Big Soft Hitty, live, live, live, March 5th and Sydney. Get your tickets at pointivista.com slash live. Live, live. It's time for Dutch Watch.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I'm from Holland. Isn't that beer? This comes to us from the NL Times. Teen posing as police officer used 9-year-old woman's walker to steal her safe. Sorry. Huh. It's just rude. Teen posing as police officer?
Starting point is 00:05:40 I know. Why would you think there was a teenage police officer? Teen cop. Teen cop. Teen cop. He has all the difficulties of being a teen and he's a cop. He's got acne and a gun. Duky Hauser with a gun.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Imagine that. But the confidence. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't have that. I couldn't have pretended to be a cop as an 18-year-old. No, definitely not. I think I'm the police.
Starting point is 00:06:06 No, I'm probably not. Goodbye. I'm sorry. The cahones on this team. Don't. Don't. The hot? That's not.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Oh, we want to. A teenager posing as a police officer robbed a 90-year-old one. woman of all her jewelry at her home in Brida. Oh, yeah, shouldn't do it. Shouldn't do that,
Starting point is 00:06:30 I guess. You shouldn't do that. You shouldn't. You shouldn't. But, but how much jewelry does a 90 year old really need? That's also true. You can't take it with you.
Starting point is 00:06:40 You can't take it with you. What are you, the fucking lady from the Titanic? And in the end, she didn't even want that big rock. She just chucked it away. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:06:51 And then Britney Spears's fake boyfriend. from the music video to... Well, baby. I went down and got it for you. Yeah, fuck. Which song is that? Oops, I did it again. Yeah, crazy. It's crazy that he did that. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy that he did that. James Cameron gets down there and there's already Britney Spears's fake boyfriend from that music video.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Whoa! Let this be a lesson to us, folks. Rob 90-year-old women of their jewelry before they can drop it into the ocean and have it be gone forever. Yes. Yes. Yes. When you think about it. For archival reasons. Yes. Yes. I'm going to archive it at Cash Confettus.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Hold on to this for me. I got to put this with the rest and take some money. Take $70 with me. Thank you. The young man of about 18 years old even stole her walker to help him take her safe downstairs. Okay. The police shared surveillance camera footage on the investigative program Bureau Brabant on Monday. Have you seen this footage, Ben?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Is this like Dutch cops? I want to know what this team looks like. If it is cops, it's a pretty fast turnaround. Yeah, like five months, like something. Oh, right. Well, it's from September. Okay. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Someone wake him up. Oh, I got the footage. He does, look, I'm just going to say it. He does not look like a cop. He is wearing like black tracksuit pants and a black jumper. and regular style sneakers. He surely wasn't wearing. Oh, this is in the footage.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, he's not. I was like, was he wearing an outlandish, like, Bobby uniform, you know, had he gone down to the costume store and gone to over? This might just be what Dutch cops wear, though. We don't know. That's true. That's true. But he does look for all the world,
Starting point is 00:08:43 like a teenager who's just knocked off from school, you know? The crime happened on Wednesday, September 3rd. The woman received a call from someone saying they were from the police. and that her address was on a list of potential burglary targets. Ah, we're going to keep it safe for you. The caller said that a police officer would be by immediately to help her check her locks. Wallet inspector. Literally, it's the fucking safe inspector.
Starting point is 00:09:09 This guy's team this up. This is good. It's not bad. Sorry. Did he, do you reckon he like, because she's 90 years old, she's in the phone book? So I probably just looked her up in the phone book and her number and address were in there? Or do you think he'd already case the place, maybe? But then how do you get the phone number?
Starting point is 00:09:27 Oh, how would he know who lived there? You're calling the operator and saying, could I get, I don't know, the five oldest active listings for phone numbers? I think he just asks his friends about their nans. Does your nan got anything good? He might have been just like, you know, ma'am, do you have any valuables in the house? And she starts listing them off. Just like, oh, yes, well, I've got the crown jewels of brook.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Belgium. Got blue heat. About 20 minutes later, the young man showed up at the woman's apartment building. Inside her home, he asked if she had any jewelry, money, or other valuables in the house. The woman handed over everything, including the jewelry she was wearing at the time. The fake cop also asked about a safe, which she indicated she had. He said he would take everything to a secure location. To make the safe easier to carry, the woman lent the young man her walker.
Starting point is 00:10:24 He placed the safe on top of it and calmly walked out of the building. That is... Now, can we just say again, this is bad, right? Like, we're going to... We don't think it's good. We don't think it's good. He shouldn't have taken the wall. He shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:10:37 So we're going to be saying a lot of things about this guy's technique, right? Yes. Art from the artist. Technique from the technical. I'm not approving of what he's done. We're not a proving of this. It's just interesting. As, as kind of...
Starting point is 00:10:48 Anthropologically. Yeah. As, you know, connoceals of the form. Socioeconomically. Yeah. There's a description of the young man in Dutch on the Bureau Brabant video. And we know at least one of the words. Is it shwati?
Starting point is 00:11:06 Because of our previous coverage of the Dutch and their Christmas-related activities. Oh, are you serious? Don't put on their face. Oh, you're not joking. No, it is what I do is. So here's the description of the young man in Dutch. And together, I think, we're going to try and live translate this. okay.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Ongevier 18 Yar Yes What could have been Yeah Zwati hair Oh no Zwati cleeding
Starting point is 00:11:37 Yes Zwati Azikshunen Why is he so Shwati Because he does in fact Have black hair Black clothing
Starting point is 00:11:48 And black Asik shoes Yeah he's dressed in black From head to toe. Or black hair too. Mm.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Not in a police uniform, I would have to point out, I guess. Not even remotely. Not in a sort of. Not even in the guise of like a police office worker. Like not even a civil employee of any kind. There's a teenager wearing teen clothes from head to foot. Yeah. Hey, I'm from Teen Squad.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I'm here to make sure you're safe is okay and take it with me. but I don't have any way to carry it. Can you help me? Thank you, ma'am. I'm very weak for I am a teen. I don't drink enough milk. The police later recovered the walker, but the woman's valuables are still missing.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah, he probably dumped the walker, hey? Probably. Yeah, it didn't seem like he needed it, to be honest, other than for the safe. Yeah, sure. How was he carrying it on the walker? It doesn't How was that making it easy?
Starting point is 00:12:53 So it's not what you're picturing like It's not a zimuthers frame No, no, this is the thing that you kind of It's going to just edge forwards The safe on it Yeah Brutal It's a wheelie boy
Starting point is 00:13:03 You know, she had the She had all that jewelry And a walker with wheels You know It sounds like she could stand to lose Some of this stuff Yeah Hey, are we serious about redistributing the wealth
Starting point is 00:13:14 Or not Yeah Yeah Ah well that includes you NN Yep She doesn't need it when she's a computer. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Hey, not trusting everyone who says they're a cop, even though they look like a regularly dressed teen. Maybe that's something that you can make the old people in your life aware of with a little PSA. We talk about PSAs in the PSA per segment. Sorriasis makes your skin edge. PSA, PSA! PSA!
Starting point is 00:13:54 Plyosybin makes you trip. PSA, PSA. pseudonym is a fake name. P. SAC. PSA. Psychosis is illness of the brain. P SMA. PSA. It's time for the PSA.
Starting point is 00:14:12 The segment, which is where we say, important things, that's a PSA. The segment attention you should pay. To the boom to this, the PSA. This comes to us from East Idaho News. Police warning parents about dangerous online trend seen in local schools. Oh, Planking is back. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Man, this is so good. Every time I see one of these, I'm like, is it something kids have been doing for like 40 years? Or is it something completely psycho? Yeah, let's go. Is it something normal like all the kids sounding with a 2B pencil? Or is it something unusual? Yeah, that's right. Is that what you guys are doing?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Huh? You've got to pass the time somehow. The Shelley Police Department is warning parents and students about the consequences of participating in a dangerous new social media trend. According to a Facebook post from the department, students have been participating in a viral social media prank where a student yells, he has a gun in a crowded space. That is funny. That's just a classic harmless prank where no one could get hurt. It's like shouting fire in a theatre. It's fun to do.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We used to always be talking about shouting fire in a crowded theatre. Shatting in a crowd of theatre? About shouting a crowded theatre. Yo, he likely shouted fire. Philosophers were obsessed with the idea of legal scholars. Did we ever work it out? I can't remember. Is it okay?
Starting point is 00:15:48 I think you're not meant to do it. I think it's round upon. It's the example of the kind of speech that isn't protected, I think. But I'm not a legal scholar. fire in a crowded theatre. Encouraged. Like if you've got hot bars, you want to let down.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I'll be mad if you do it during Avatar Fire and Ash though. Although that's the best time. Don't stand up in your seat. Start freestyle rapping about not Avatar. If it's thematically relevant, it might be cool.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Wait, I've got to look up what the Fire Clan is called in Navi, but I think I have some pretty sick rhymes I can spit out here. Do you want me to drop a beat? Yes, please. I mean, I want to hear you drop a beat. Yes, Anne.
Starting point is 00:16:26 More than anything. I don't, no, don't follow through. She's probably really good at it. I would love shit. You were probably just waiting for a chance. Imagine if I was just a crazy beatboxer. And at the moment you were ready, you got cold feet. Imagine if Lucy was an amazing beatboxer, but she only did like punk pop blast.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, I was absolutely thinking she's doing she's doing beatboxing to like black parade. The purpose. is to get reactions and record the chaos that is then posted online. Fair enough. Okay. All right. You're just given it.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, if you react, you're just giving them what they want. Yeah, if you hear someone yell, he has a gun, play it cool. Don't turn around. Just kind of, you know, keep back to normal. Now, Ben,
Starting point is 00:17:15 Ben's doing a lot of frowning noises about this activity, but I'll say, if you are a teen in the United States, you don't have any, Any say as to whether or not your society is thick with guns that can be bought into your school and used to shoot you. So on that basis, I think they should at least get to have a little fun with it. Yeah, have a little fun.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Yeah, get a little bit of it. You know? You also have no future. No one wants to do anything about the like imminent threat of death. Everybody's apparently totally fine with that. So you should also get to create a little sensation of an imminent threat of death. To me, this is like when, like, video games let you turn one of the enemies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:55 You know where like you use your psychic powers or whatever and they like come around to your side? Like in micro-shock, you can make the big daddy like your mate and he like hangs out with you and you can keep him like with you. Yeah. And then immediately like all the other enemy's agro on him. Yeah. So you go, hey, he's got a gun. And this guy. There's one like 48 year old man named Dennis in the food court just going like, well, what he?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Spotting the 28 year old guy who works in time. who busted you for shoplifting in the food court. Yes. Just destroying his life. Yeah, invert the power imbalance. It's like rage against the machine set. Exactly. You've got to take the power back.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yeah, take the power back. That's fucking like, that quarterback who like started puberty at 11 who beats you up every day. You know who's going to beat him up when you yell he has a gun and pointed him? The school resource officer, he's going to kill him. He's going to shoot that guy even though he doesn't actually see a gun. If you say stuff about him anonymously as well, like they'll probably just believe it, probably. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Maybe put him in jail or something. Start spreading real salacious rumors about him. You've got to use the sort of the vizier's tools to take down Brayden because like Brayden can physically dominate you 10 times out of 10. He has the power of the flesh, but you've got the power of the shadows. You have the power of the mind as well. You are a Sigma. Because you're a Mats Olympiad winner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 And you weave a tangled web, let's just be honest. Use the tools you were given. Yes. The fulcrum allows you to lever up the heavyweight. Yes. The inclined plane allows you to slide the heavy block. With a long enough lever, I could lift a very heavy boy. That's right.
Starting point is 00:19:44 The pulley allows you to lift a one of the other simple machines. What are the other ones? Is the core screw one of the simple machines? Is it? I think so. I know. It's pretty simple to me. It's got the lever on it too, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh, yes, sir. You know? I feel like that's mainly what makes it work for me. I wouldn't like to be yanking on a leverless corkscrew, like some kind of fucking chimp. Yes. True. Yanking on evil as corkscrew.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yep. I'm saying I don't want that for myself, just to be clear. Yeah, that'd be bad. Chimps haven't learned how to multiply force? I don't think I'm surprised. problem for them. I think they have all the force they need to be honest.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I think a chip could open a bottle of Chimpernyu. Hey Lucy, can I suggest that you watch a movie from 2025 called a primate? Seen it. Loved it. We were in the cinemas chanting. Ben. Ben. Ben.
Starting point is 00:20:41 That's the name of the chimp. He's wearing a t-shirt and he's shredding those people like poached chicken. He's ripping faces off. I loved it. At a great time. Rips Rod Delaney's face clean off. Thanks for thinking of me when you saw that. You're like, that's something Lucy would like.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Friend of the show, Rob Delaney. Yes, Rob Delaney. Fuck, I love that, dude. He's so good. Big fan of sleep, big fan of Blunston Boots. So I see sort of a kindred spirit in him. Okay. Between ourselves.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Quote, in today's environment, those words immediately signal a life-threatening situation. Yeah, because back in the days of yore, it was just excitement. That guy's got a good. Yeah, got a blunderbust. Can I see it? What's this wonderful device over your own? What is this here? Once he gets a round off, he reload that thing within one minute. My eye have a paper, your gun, sir.
Starting point is 00:21:36 My eye on Uganda. Some kind of pepper. This is a true. Some kind of gone pepper. I'm a place of accents. Oh, I've never seen a gun before. Oh. And this is what the docks at New York is.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I'm a computer. The five streets. My mum's a Charles Babbage's difference machine. My mum can't pass a touring test. O' heard your mum couldn't pass the touring test. Law enforcement will respond as if there is an active threat and schools can go into lockdown, the police department says.
Starting point is 00:22:25 as content can end in criminal charges, suspension, expulsion, or someone getting seriously hurt. Still content, though. It is, unfortunately, what's still. Like, the worse it is, the better it will do online, unfortunately, because of the situation that we've created. So you kind of got to make a decision. It's kind of vibe we've created. I feel like teens are just doing the, like, they're just playing the game. They're playing the cards as they were dealt.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yep. We dealt those cards on that chessboard. We also dealt those cards. Yeah. And we gave them their Chinese chequered pieces. And we said, hey, what do you want to do? And then they learnt to play. And they're like, ah, TikTok?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah. Yeah. And then they tried to swipe the checkerboard with their finger. Because they don't understand. They're on their damn iPads. The police department urges parents to talk to their children about the dangers of the trend and the real world consequences that can come from it. They know.
Starting point is 00:23:22 They already fucking know what the consequences are. They're not stupid. I do you remember being a teenager. You just have no concept of consequences. Yeah, not until you're 30. Do you have like a real concept of consequences? Yeah, like a kind of paralyzing concept of consequences. It's like all you can really think about.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Do you remember like traveling in your early 20s where you just literally did not consider that something could go wrong? Yeah. Something bad could happen to you. Yeah. Oh, I had considered those things very directly. and explicitly, and then I got where I was going, and I was like, ah, but, you know, I'm here now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Like, going to, going to Thailand, which apparently has a... Ethanol poisoning, not for me. Well, Thailand has a big thriving recreational cannabis scene now, apparently. Like, you can just buy it everywhere. But back in the day, it was like, we will kill you. We will kill you for having drugs in some of these countries. TV. And I was like, oh, I've learned that now.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I don't want a big killed on TV. I know I can't do that. But then I got there and someone was like, hey, you want this joint? And what am I going to, am I going to be rude? Yeah. Plus I love weed because it rules. So yes, please.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Of course, I respect the king, but also I respect my fellow traveler here. Yeah. Yeah. King. King. I can George, friend of the show, George, uh, tell the story about one of the first times that they went overseas traveling and they were in Nepal.
Starting point is 00:24:53 believe crossing over the border into one of those other little mountainous countries and they got like held up at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes with like AK-47s. Oh my God. That took like all of their stuff and then George was just like, oh come on. Can I have my passport back? Please. And they're like, oh, okay. Really? And they gave them their passport back. A lot of people are quite reasonable, really. It's just great. They're going up to like border security at whatever. No, no, no, I don't Who are always? I think it was Butard. I'm like, hey, I just got robbed.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't have anything, but I do have this. And like, oh, yeah, that'll happen. Did you go? Just dressed in like a barrel with suspenders. That's right. Moth flying out of the barrel. Just sitting on the shelf on top. Just remembering the devastating logic that was deployed against me
Starting point is 00:25:45 when this guy offered me some weed, which was that we were on a ferry. We were going to an island. And where there was like one of those full moon parties, you know? Yeah. And he was like, hey, some of this weed. And I was like, I've heard, I've heard tell you can get in a lot of trouble from the police. And he was like, well, there's police over on the land where we just came from.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And there's police on the island. But there's no police here on the boat. That's really cool. Well. That's true. Now that you have completely assuaged my concerns. I remember the first time I went to the US. No, it would have been the time.
Starting point is 00:26:22 time before I saw you there Lucy but it's the first time I went to Chicago which is one like first American cities I went to and like was walking down to like fucking magic mile golden mile whatever that shit is in Chicago and this guy uh the dude wearing like a sparkly purple hat like you would buy from a discount store in their costume section was like hey you you look like you smoke weed do you want to buy some weed and I was like oh gee mister get to rights I don't want to get in trouble. I have to fly out tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:26:56 so I probably can't smoke a lot of weed. He's like, no man, you can take a little play. No one really cares. I was like, no, I better not. He's like, well, do you want to just buy one joint? So I paid $30 for a single joint in the year. 2014, I want to say. You know what?
Starting point is 00:27:13 That guy must have been laughing. That's the cost of convenience though, you know? Yeah. It's fine. Smock that joint in Lincoln Park. The park. The park. The park in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I was briefly a member of Lincoln Park and I smoked a joint while I was in there. Me and Mike Shinoda. Mr. Hahn. Yeah. Chester Bennington Rips. He smoked a joint in Lincoln Park. Who was the other member I was inside Mike Shinoda at the time? Who's the fourth member of Lincoln Park?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Oh, no. No, no. No, no, no, I'm not going to have it. Okay. No, me neither. There's got to be another guy, though, surely. Hey, the price I paid for that joint in Chicago. when I was a beautiful, sweet, terrific 24-year-old boy,
Starting point is 00:27:59 surely a scam. We talk about scabs in Scamwatch. Warning. Someone has successfully or unsuccessfully attempted a scam and must be judged. This is Samwatch. Did you feel, Ben, like he was pretty justified in saying you look like you smoke weed? Yeah, he kind of nailed me on that one. It was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Yeah, that's a great gesture. on your part. I was like, yeah, all right. Fair enough, dude, you got me. I think I said this on the podcast after it happened, but when we were in the beautiful city of Kusko and Peru, walking through like the main square in Kuzco. And this guy just like,
Starting point is 00:28:40 I was walking in a relatively large group of people. He like pushed through all of the other people. Right in my ear. You there. Weed. What took you so long? Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:28:54 That guy was great though He also told me to tell my friends about him The guy in Chicago So if you are in Chicago And you see a man loiter I gotta call it wearing a sparkly purple hat That guy sells weed No not near
Starting point is 00:29:08 He wasn't in Lincoln Park He was That sounds like a man He was going to give you a quest or some weed Fuck I should have I should have chatted to him Well he probably had a quest for me Probably
Starting point is 00:29:18 This comes to us from the Potsville Republican Herald In Pennsylvania schoolco haven woman charged in eagles ticket scam. Okay. A 28-year-old school-coaven woman is facing criminal charges after police say she scammed Montgomery County residents who paid her for what they believed were Philadelphia Eagles game tickets. Ah, I thought maybe you meant like the band.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Oh, the Eagles? Yeah. The Eagles are just Eagles. Eagles? Eagles? So like, they sell you a ticket to the hotel, you can never leave. I could be wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I think it's Eagles, one word. I think it's Eagles. Oh, you're going for an Eagles gag. What about Eels? Is that just Eels? Eels is just Eels? Eels is just Eels. Eels?
Starting point is 00:30:05 Deftones, Eagles. Too. See, this doesn't help. I'm looking at the Wikipedia entry for Eagles, and it is Eagles in the title. It's not The Eagles. And I was like, great. In fact, if you put in The Eagles,
Starting point is 00:30:19 it will redirect to Eagles with no the. First sentence of the item. The Eagles are an American But Eagles is bold and the is not What are we doing here? What are we doing here? Get it together. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, Jimmy Wales. Sicky of shit. The lower Providence Township Police Department charged Caitlin Faust of 515 School School Street After she reportedly scammed Montgomery County residents By posing as a member of the Eagles Autism Foundation
Starting point is 00:30:49 An offering to sell discounted game tickets last four. I'm just fucking captain of The Eagles are to some guys. That's Lucy's job. This is a true Faustian bargain. Yeah, I was trying to... I was going to wait for more information before playing the Fausty. We all had the joke.
Starting point is 00:31:10 I was happy with what I was dealt. I don't really know what Faustian means. Haven't read it. I think it's... I think you know. I think it's the devil, right? I kind of gather. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:20 The Eagles Autism Foundation is real, by the way, just as an aside. She didn't invent a like autism not for profit. Well, I guess they don't have many like social situations. I like the bird. Because they're very solitary, Eagle. Cool. Sorry, Andrew, are you drinking a Bundy right now? No.
Starting point is 00:31:47 No. That's right one. You're not lifting the can up into camera views. So it was a Stubby cooler This can of capital brewing co-day You see where I got confused It looked very delicious beer
Starting point is 00:32:01 Undecoded One victim from They probably say a Worcester I bet Worcester Sure Worcester Township Told police that a co-worker had given her The contact information of a woman named Caitlin Faust
Starting point is 00:32:17 Who was reported to work for the Eagles Autism Foundation And could provide a deal discount on game tickets. How'd you get her contact? Wow, so that's what I'm wondering. They don't talk about whether or not the coworker is in on the scam. Is there a Caitlin Faust at the Autism Eagles Foundation? Or is it just...
Starting point is 00:32:38 Not anymore. She's in the wind. Yeah, that's right. She's cut out. She's lighted out for the territories. Yeah. In late July and early August, she sent Faust $750,000, $750,000. Apple Cash for three tickets to the week one game against the Dallas Cowboys,
Starting point is 00:32:55 but never got the tickets. That sounds like a lot. I'm sorry, and this is discounted. Week one? Week one. Fuck. It's not even one of the big ones. Eagles Cowboys, I bet that's a great game.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I don't know. I've never bought football tickets. I've definitely been hearing more stuff in Australia about the prohibitive cost of tickets to like, you know, arena shows. or large, I guess, any sort of show. But we also hear Americans complain about that, and I do get the impression sometimes that we are not playing in the same leagues
Starting point is 00:33:33 of how much this shit costs. $250 for an allegedly discounted ticket to a week one game. I think football tickets are pretty expensive, generally. Like, they're more expensive than our football games. What four, though? The spectacle. The spectacle.
Starting point is 00:33:52 The spectacle. The crack of the football. The smell of the grass. The taste of popcorn. The taste of a hot dog? I don't know. I've only been to baseball. Not sure.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah. My older sister and her partner paid $250 each to go to the Royal Edinburgh tattoo at Suncorps Stadium. Royal Edinburgh military tattoo. They have fireworks every night. Well, that's cool. That's included in the ticket cost, I guess. I remember.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Just watch some guys play the bagpipes. No, like a military tattoo. They're playing bagpipes. They're doing formations and stuff. The Russian girls. That's tattoo. Yes. The Royal Edinburgh tattoo.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Is that a gag you're going to go for? Like Scottish lesbians? One of my co-workers made that exact same joke on Friday night before the thing started. Nora, if you're listening to this, you can have Theo's spot on the podcast. Yeah. I didn't realize the tattoo's cultural footprint was so large. I mean, they're huge. They're also not real lesbians, right?
Starting point is 00:34:55 That's the thing about tattoo. They weren't real lesbians. Also, they're back because of heated rivalry. Have you seen how busted they look, Lucy? You're telling me, heated rivalry brought tattoo back. The tattoo is tested. Well, all the things she said is prominently in heated rivalry.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I didn't know they look busted, though. Thanks. Oh, just like real worked. Just real worked. It's completely legal to age, obviously. Oh, like they've had a bunch of work done. Can we let women age? Women.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Let's just let women age. Please. I'm begging you, please. Age regular style. You don't got to do all that. You can't. No, there's just, she's just had a... I feel like she's there the one that can.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Only one of them. Only one of them had a bunch of... Well, that's worse. Which is, that's fine. Which is fine. Whatever makes you feel good. Christ. Don't ever go on me here.
Starting point is 00:35:55 He said it. He said it was busted. Don't hold me to a higher standard. I love holding you to a higher standard. I'm down here in the fucking pig pit with you guys. You kind of like Dee from Always Suddy. You're also a piece of shit. I'm also a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:36:14 After she made the payments, the woman began receiving fraudulent emails from someone named Brooke Myers who purported to work with Faust at the foundation. The email said that the woman would receive the tickets later through a ticket portal. Police said that Faust defrauded another victim, a male resident of Bridgeport, of $400 for what he believed were two game tickets and a field pass for a game against Los Angeles Rams. That's a great deal. Were it not fraudulent?
Starting point is 00:36:40 Field pass? The Rams? Nice bargain. But one quick question. Yeah. Was it Faustian? Unfortunately, it was. It would seem a little too good to be true?
Starting point is 00:36:52 Is Faust the one that's guiding Dante through that? No, I've confused Dantes in Ferdo with Faust. No, Faust is in Faust. She kind of has kind of folk rock thing. He makes a deal with the devil. The erudite Faust is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life. Gertor. Erudite.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Which leads him to make a deal with the devil at a crossroads, just like Robert Johnson, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Nice. A third victim from Upper Marion Township said he paid the defendant $600 for tickets and a field pass to the Eagles First Cowboys game. The perfect crime. Two additional victims from Lower Providence Township were robbed of $170 each for tickets to Eagles v. Broncos game. Faust faces misdemeanors of theft by deception, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Isn't theft kind of unlawful taking to begin with? Yeah. Thief by definition. Kind of the definition of theft. Theft by doing stealing of taking stuff. You know, the variable cost of these tickets is really pinging my interest because... Well, maybe they're different seats, though, maybe. Could be different seats, or is Caitlin Faust a master of psychology?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Is she a real mentalist? And she's having a little conversation with people first and unwittingly they're giving away if you telltale signs of exactly where their price point is. I think she's mentalisting them. I can get you tickets that are discounted to $170 for this person who definitely wouldn't have paid more than $180 for their ticket. Whereas these other people, $250 each.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Throw out like a couple of like feeler questions. Like how much do you think is really? reasonable for two people to spend on a night out on a nice dinner. Yeah. 150. Oh, interesting. Three Hyundai? I'm sorry, I meant, oh, 300.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Interesting. Three hondies, you say. Three Benjamas? Is he on the 100? Three Benjamins, no stacks. Okay. Yeah. Three Bennies?
Starting point is 00:39:13 Okay. A couple of abes. Throw a couple of apes in there. How about that? I think he's a, I think he's a, I think he's about. bouncing on at 100th style. What? What?
Starting point is 00:39:25 What? What do you mean? What do you mean? No, explain your joke, young man. No. She was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Kathleen K. Rebaugh, College, Phil. Sorry, her name is what? Kathleen K. Rebaugh.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Spell up like Reba. That's the judge's name. Yeah. What? I'm losing track of rehab. Judge Rebaugh of Collegeville. Come the fuck on.
Starting point is 00:39:56 What are you talking about? That's not a real person. I've heard of authors that use subtext. They're all cowards, that's right. Who initially set bailed at $75,000 unsecured, but decreased it shortly afterwards to $7,500 upon agreement from parties.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Oh, she talked it down. Yeah, it's mentalist. Mentalist. Mantilist. That's fucking rude. I'm trying to look at a, I'm trying to look at Kathleen K. Rebar's website where she is trying to get elected for district judge.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It's a WordPress site. That's fine, you know, if that's your speed. And I have been blocked from accessing the site in my region for security reasons. Geo-fenced by Kathleen Rebar. Fucking typical. I don't think that. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Hello, Kathleen. Oh, okay. I'm going to some pictures of Judge Kathleen Rebar. Let me just say. Not what I was picturing. Not what I was picturing. That's all. Wasn't picturing a lady.
Starting point is 00:41:02 I was picturing a lady. When Andrew thinks of Judge Kathleen Rebar. I picture somebody. Assumes she's a man. All of the TV shows that I've watched suggest to me that a judge is going to be like retirement age. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:41:15 I think probably something worth noting here is that all of the results that come up when you search her name are about her campaign to become district judge. And this story just sort of offhandedly mentions that she is in fact a district judge. So congratulations. Yeah. To Kathleen K. Rebar on behalf of the Australian Comedy Current Events podcast, Buntavista. You did it.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yes, queen. Yeah. Yes. Yes. We love to see it. Probably the first female judge in that district. Yeah. In collegeville.
Starting point is 00:41:47 in collegeville. Yeah. I bet she's going to really shake things up in collegeville. Americans be like, I'm from Collegeville. Yeah. You ask them where they're from, you know, because you meet at a, like, a hostel in Germany. And instead of saying America or the state they're from, they say, oh, I'm from Collegeville. I'm from Collegeville.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Yeah, I'm actually from Collegeville. What are you talking about? What do you mean? What do you mean? It's just a little college town, four million people. It's all colleges. America loves to have a college town. A college town.
Starting point is 00:42:20 College town. What are you fucking talking about? You're going to fucking talking about. Aren't you universities in like major cities where people live? No, they're not. Shampaign, Illinois. I'm in Bloomington, normal. Why are you in Bloomington normal? Because you go to U of N or whatever. I'm blooming to an hour. Hey, I bet when District Judge Kathleen K. Reba won her campaign to become a district judge. Oh, boy. She celebrated with a drink.
Starting point is 00:42:59 What that drink was, we won't know to us that liquid is a mystery. We talk about mystery liquids in mystery liquid. Mystery liquid. Can't tell what color it is with a slick oily sheen. What could it mean? Mystery liquid. I see some good that is for me. a pool on the floor
Starting point is 00:43:22 who is it for I'm gonna taste the mystery liquid I'm gonna taste the mystery liquid man I fucking bet if you were like a string quartet doing one of those like Brisbane City council funded strings by candlelight
Starting point is 00:43:51 or whatever things they do where it's like the song of the Beatles played by a string quartet. If you were the guy in the quartet or lady or non-binary person who did the little double-time like double-bowed violin part in that song, when that kicks in, that's got a feel fucking incredible. It feels so good. Also, we should do one of those concerts. Yeah, a point of vista by candlelight.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Wanda vista by candlelight. Wistair, ASMR by Cadillard. Brisbane Symphony Orchestra. The Cathedral on Anne Street. there's a Doug Stanhope stand-up set where he just has like a jazz guitarist on stage just kind of softly noodling in the background as he does his comedy that's really good I think we could get a musician to just play during a show not this one not this one coming up we have not planned for it I think it would work especially while we're doing really nasty stuff up there
Starting point is 00:44:47 just a little jazz pianist like a little slow little chill jazz jazz I have a little lounge vibes, you know. One of the first ever like, like on stage type comedy things I ever did. Actually, it was the second one I ever did because the first one was one that a friend of the show, Max Laverne, organized Todd Talks, I believe the series was called, which is his fake like TED Talk series. I did another one that friend of the show, James Colley, also who has been on the program, organized one called Ghost Stories. And he got a cellist to improvise a score to whatever the series. speaker was doing while it was happening. So there was a like musical score being made while I was doing the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:45:28 That was a complete surprise me. And I am now with the benefit of hindsight, almost certain that that cellist was, I think her name is Ange LeVois Pierre. She's a comedian, a journalist who just happens to also be a very talented cellist. Anyway, that was a fun experience. We should do something like that. Get someone to put a drone horrible. industrial drone behind us while we're doing comedy.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Just a really unpleasant sound. Yeah, that'd be great. Make us sound good in comparison. What if during a live show we just got some people to fly several drones around a few feet above the audience? Yes. I feel like that would really keep people on their toes and not looking at their phones throughout the show.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Not yelling stuff out, you know? Fuck, that's something I've been thinking about a little bit with the Sydney Live show is that like, part of me is apprehensive because like we've got a home field advantage in Brisbane because I consider Andrew to spiritually live in Brisbane. But we know these people now. We've established a language of trust and communication, a back and forth. It's a very safe space.
Starting point is 00:46:33 But we have also enabled people arguably too much to get very drunk and yells shit during the show. Too confident. So I'm a little apprehensive about going in with a new audience. I think we've got to scale back the yelling stuff from the crowd. We've got to be more harsh. Because if one person does it and it's funny, then everyone's going to feel. And then everyone does it.
Starting point is 00:46:53 So the first time someone does it, we've got a blank of no laughs, and you're also just got to be like, by the way, you're ugly. Yeah. I'm going to be yelling. You're a busted.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You look at a fuck, dude. Hey, I wouldn't heckle if I looks so much like a piece of shit who sucks and nobody likes. Everybody boo that person. And then we crush them. And they're sort of our example. They could even be a paid actor.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Maybe we got a paid actor. to get yelled at, getting so excited about the upcoming show. This comes to us from Deutsche Vela. Burglars ransacked safe deposit boxes in German bank heist. Okay. Not so safe. How cruelly ironic. It's right there in the name.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Burglars ransacked several safe deposit boxes in a bank in the town of Sturr In Lower Saxony, in North Germany, police said Saturday. So I guess that's the lower part of the north. Police say they have not identified the perpetrators or establish what was stolen. So he's done nothing. Okay. Classic. Quote, we can't say anything about the, sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:08 If we can't say anything about the contents, a police spokesperson told Germany's DPA news agency. We don't know what the bank customers had stored there, he said. Oh, I see. one of those situations. It's one of those type deals. There could be any kind of gold coins. And they're not reporting it either.
Starting point is 00:48:26 They're not reporting it. No. Because they kind of live in a different strata of society. And their business is not letting on your business. That's right. And that's why they have the escape tunnels. Yeah. Their business
Starting point is 00:48:39 is trafficking children. Oh. Words of leave. The bank had 728 safe deposit boxes in total, 14 of which were broken into, according to police. Doesn't that seem targeted?
Starting point is 00:48:56 Only 14 boxes. Interesting. Very specific. 14. Follow the numbers. Yes. Quote, all the other boxes are intact. The bank was cited by DPA as saying.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Police said the break-in was carried out between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. local time. According to initial witness reports, three men in blue overalls were seen walking toward a car and throw the bank around. day. Classic. Yeah. All right. There is a like...
Starting point is 00:49:23 The operators? It's fucking heat, dude. They're doing German heat. Wait. We're thinking just like just overalls? What about the undershirt? Yellow? Totally nude under-
Starting point is 00:49:35 No undershirt. Or nude underneath. I like nude underneath. Yeah. Just overalls. I'm thinking white singlet. I like to think they're doing sexy beasts. White singlet, blue overalls.
Starting point is 00:49:43 They're doing German sexy beast. A police spokesperson told DPA that a bank employee made her way to the bank's basement after her lunch break where she noticed a pungent smell that made her feel nauseous, nauseous. Nauseous, nauseous. Nauseous. Nauseiated? Nauseous. Someone's crazily typing, it's actually nauseated.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Nauseous means relating to nausea. Okay, it seems like you just effectively did that by doing the parody of the character that would say that. You're kind of filling that role, really. Someone's got to do it. There is like kind of a really. old world magic to the safe deposit box for me. Like I can't see myself
Starting point is 00:50:23 ever in my life having one. In the hotel, I'm like, who is putting their shit in here? I trust the fucking hotel employees. There is no fucking way of putting shit in the safe. They're fucking safe in a hotel. That should be a stuff we should chat about.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Yeah, who's putting stuff in the safe? Every hotel you go, do there's a safe. And I'm thinking who's using the safe? It's not safe. The safes also look like they just made out of plastic. They look like plastic. They're so dodgy.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Like, why would I think that the hotel staff are going to steal my shit? Also, like, there's going to be a list of who went into my room. Like, like... Like, in the 1960s, I think people are putting their, like... Jewelry and stuff? They're jewelry in there. They're pearl necklaces and such. They're putting those in there.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Maybe I just... I don't have valuables like that. Maybe that's it. Like, if I'm traveling, the most valuable thing I have with me, it's my wife. And also my phone. You can't fit your wife in there. No. And I need my...
Starting point is 00:51:19 phone to be charging overnight. My phone didn't cost that much. Yeah. What if there was a wife-sized safe with air holes in the hotel room, Ben? Yeah. What about a safe for make wife safe? Yeah. Hey, hey, listen up, society.
Starting point is 00:51:34 What about a safe for make wife safe? Mm-hmm. When wife safe. What if wife safe? Yeah. Yeah. Wife safe, please. When wife safe to end safe and wife?
Starting point is 00:51:45 While we're chatting, can I just bring up something fucked up that happened to me on my way home? Yeah, I guess so. What, in between leaving the bar and going and buying a steak and toilet paper? I had to stop at the shops. I had to buy toilet paper and I also went and got something from the bottle shop. Okay. I'm listening. I'm going to a concert tomorrow and I'm not going to buy drinks at the stadium.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Well, you don't have to say which bottle shop it was, but did you go to the nice one? No, I went to the cell. Is it a cell? Lickland. I went to Lickland. And I walked in there and the guy said hello and I said hello. And then he said to me, happy Wednesday. What?
Starting point is 00:52:18 Isn't that fucked up? And I didn't know what to say. I don't know. So I said, and a happy Wednesday to you too. I thought that's what you said. Why would you say that? I thought you were supposed to. You'd say like happy hump day if you were like psychotic.
Starting point is 00:52:33 If you're being silly with it. Yeah. Happy hump day. Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday? Happy Tuesday? Happy Tuesday? Hey, happy Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:52:42 I said a happy Wednesday to you too. Sir. And now that interaction is going to be my head. You should have said, my good sir. but I'm with Fino here. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. That is so insane. It has to be a specific
Starting point is 00:52:58 special point on the calendar to be a happy something. You're overthinking it due to your proclivities. What do you mean? What proclivities? I would never say this to someone. I think it has to be like a public holiday or a Friday.
Starting point is 00:53:15 It has to be an event. You can't just be saying that. Did you say there have to be rules? We'd also, we'd already had the like, hey, how are you going greeting? It was a secondary greeting. It was an afterthought? It was an afterthought. Hey, man, how are you?
Starting point is 00:53:29 How are you? Yeah, good, man. Yeah, that's good. I'm just going to have a little look over here. Happy Wednesday. Yes. Did you, um, did you say a happy Wednesday and I don't care who knows. What are you like?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Did you try saying you're talking to me too much? I'm typing shit into teams. I was never. I don't know what to say. So I'm like, hey, man, happy Wednesday. You don't strike me as a chatter in a, in a, like a retail situation. No, no, not in a retail situation, but certainly like, you know, where I'm feeling comfortable in my chats. Are you using Happy Wednesday as an icebreaker?
Starting point is 00:54:03 Happy Wednesday. I noticed you didn't do that code review yesterday. I don't have power. What if you were just stopping to buy a bottle of tequila because you're going to the good Charlotte concert tomorrow, you don't want to pay for drinks at the stadium, so you're going to sneak in. You're going to sneak in some drink. I'm, I do a podcast for everything.
Starting point is 00:54:21 To good Charlotte. Yes, that's right. What are we talking? Can we get some more subscribers to help Lucy? What's the? Esplan? Esplan. Esplan.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Yeah, bitch. Yes. I got a little Esplan at the Good Charlotte. Yeah, a little Esplan at the Good Charlotte show. Hey, Feliz Birkelis. Now that's a liquid we can identify. Right? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Oh, the story. Yeah, mystery liquid. Notice a punch and smell, blah, blah, blah. Emergency workers found an unknown liquid on the doors, but said it did not pose a health risk. A little sniff. Just a touch of the finger to the liquid and then to the tongue. A little...
Starting point is 00:55:05 Are you fine? You gotta have a little... Nick's too bad. I think it is fine. Don't worry about it. I'm not dead yet. Probably fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So I love when they do this. That's one of my favorite constructions is they don't know what it is, but they do know that it's fine. But it's not toxic, yeah. Incredible. Such a good level of confidence. How can you possibly know something's fine? Whatever it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Well, that's what life is. You don't know what this crazy thing is, but we do know that it's fine. That we do know it. We're okay. We're alive. We're breathing. We're smiling. We're laughing.
Starting point is 00:55:39 What is this? On a Wednesday? We're okay. Happy on a Wednesday? Happy Wednesday to you guys. A happy Wednesday. This is going to come up on Wednesday. Oh, it's coming out on a Sunday, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:55:52 Listen to this on Wednesday. Save it for Wednesday. Save it for three days. Well, however many days, that is. Two bank employees were treated by emergency services, according to Northern German Regional Public Broadcaster, India. What was it? Why did they...
Starting point is 00:56:13 Is this one of those things from the movies where they spray a liquid into a lock and then the lock goes funny or something. They can hit it with a hammer and it goes push. Yeah, spray free on into the locks. Flabber situation,
Starting point is 00:56:26 probably a flabber situation. I think most of these are sexy beasts. Flueber? You think they might have been using flueber? Oh, that's flubber? It's a unfluberheists. No, no flubber. The emergency worker coming over to the liquid saying,
Starting point is 00:56:43 oh, that's a fluber. Oh, that's a fluber. The police dispatcher getting off the cold, they're like, that was the bankmaster. They've been flumeistered. Ane fluba heist. What is there a fluba heister? Sheiser.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Ane flubber bandit? Sheise, sheise, sheise. Sheise. One, two, three, flubber bandit. in plow overall and there is I do have an alternate theory
Starting point is 00:57:23 as to what this was just you know I had some time to think about it mystery liquid like a heist with basically no traces other than liquid can I only really lead you
Starting point is 00:57:34 to one conclusion ghosts oh I thought you were going to say they were standing on an ice cube You don't hear a lot about ice cubes as a murder weapon or whatever and it really makes you ask one question
Starting point is 00:57:53 Is it because it doesn't happen in real life Or because it does happen in real life And it's incredibly effective They don't want you to know about it Yeah Like what if you made a knife out of ice It's one of those YouTube channels Like secrets of the mob hitman
Starting point is 00:58:07 Yeah I think it does happen in real life But they still can't prove That's the problem. Is this in a movie? No convictions. I think it's like one of the like, it's just an old dumb, yeah. Old stupid, the perfect crime.
Starting point is 00:58:23 It might be a perfect crime. You guys ever play Mind Trap? The card-based board game Mind Trap. That sounds from Millie. I was obsessed with Mind Trap. I want you all the Google Mind Trap and you, the listener, even if you're driving, because the art for Mind Trap is the coolest shit you'll ever see. seen your life.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Oh yeah, I've seen this. I've seen this. Look sick. Oh, look at that font. Look at that shadow on the phone. Isn't that beautiful? Oh, that's sick.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Lightning. Yeah. So that, it's just a set of like hundreds of cards of like it gives you a hypothetical situation. You have to kind of like solve how it was possible. And like one of those is like he stood on an ice cube and then hanged himself or whatever. Or he was stabbed with an ice cube.
Starting point is 00:59:10 When I was a kid, probably like eight or nine my nightly ritual before I go to sleep is I would just grab a giant stack of the cards and then just read them read the answer and then attempt to memorize them yeah just in case these situations kind of came up in real life I thought it would make my analytical intelligence go off the fucking charts unfortunately I turned out stupid but I think it was still good of me to try the mind trap route
Starting point is 00:59:34 to becoming a genius I think it worked not knowing that I was obsessed with mind trap as a kid Maddie bought a copy of Mind Trap for the bar. Oh, dear. I'm just saying Lucy, next time we're down there, we've got a free afternoon. It's time to find out later or not. Let's have a look at some Mind Tram.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Don't play it against Ben. He knows all of the. Oh, shit, I shouldn't have told you to get that. You're going to remember them all. What's this called? Mind part? Yeah. Oh, my part?
Starting point is 01:00:01 I guess I could give it a shot. Oh, I, well, I was going to leave. But if they're playing Mind part, I guess I'll give it a go. those things Oh it's a emmish game where your mind is the weapon Those things are going to respect me now Yeah they're stupid They're stupid, let's all agree
Starting point is 01:00:20 They're stupid They're like completely There's not a clear logical link Between the answer and the question No they go oh this happens So here's the scenario What happened And then what follows is an explanation
Starting point is 01:00:32 Of something that a person made up To write on the cut All of the information was not necessarily present in the... Right, can I give you one actually? Please go with this. Oh, Ben, you can always... I don't have the answer available here, so we'll see how we go.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Captain Frank and Professor Quantum played chess. They played seven games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or stalemates. How could this have happened? So they played seven games and there was no drawers or stalemates. Is that what we're saying? Well, they're playing against different people. Yes, it didn't say they were necessarily playing with each other.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I hate this. I hate it. Yeah. This is the exact sort of stuff that I think someone who had maybe, say, autism would hate because there's not a clearly defined set of rules. Yeah, there's a lot of different parameters there that I'm going to need some more information on. Bullshit. Fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Garbage. Dunk it. Trash it. Yeah, bullshit. Sucks. Hey, this was definitely Actually, can we do a really quick Dumpet, like really fast just before we finish
Starting point is 01:01:42 the episode? Yes, dear. It's time for Dumpet. When the story ain't funny enough. Don't bet when there ain't enough funny stuff. If you walk the show to be good, then gone and dumb all that stuff. Can we talk about the article I sent through to you guys this afternoon? It's too fucked to talk about it. detail here but the guy in the Netherlands who got a sentence for 14 years this week because he
Starting point is 01:02:20 exploded a house and everyone in it and the house next door because of a dispute over a dog that he bred that some people were trying to sell or something the bit that I'm really stuck on is let me I'll read out the man's actions to you which I know you red, but just as a little refresher. The suspect grabbed two gas cylinders from the front yard, using the first he broke down the front door, then sprayed gas through the hole, and
Starting point is 01:02:53 hurled the second cylinder inside. The resulting explosion triggered the devastating house fire. So he's like double gas cylinder exploded this house. He's done this before. Well. I don't think you're thinking of that in the moment.
Starting point is 01:03:11 I couldn't. Mind trap, I guess. Have we looked for patterns? If you've got a mind trap brain, maybe like, you have two gas cylinders. How quickly can you kill the people inside a house? And he seemed to do it. And he's done the least possible steps. One to break the window. One more in.
Starting point is 01:03:26 But like it's not even like just breaking down the door and chucking it in. It's like breaking down the door being like, oh, fuck, I've got to open the tap on this one, get all the gas in there, grab the second one, throw that one in. And then somehow something there has caused a spark or whatever, which has ignited the whole mess. I have a question which is when the police looked up this guy's name was a bunch of his history redacted on the file. Did they have the scene from Rebel Ridge where the guy says, wait, why is he on this Wikipedia page?
Starting point is 01:03:59 God, that's a good scene. And what a great. I'm getting it's on my list. He's so fucking hot, Lucy. You're going to love watching. I've heard he's hot. What's his name? Aaron Pierre White?
Starting point is 01:04:10 Is that his name? Uh-huh. You're going to love watching him do non-lethal combat takedowns with these beautiful striking eyes and perfect physique. I'm sure I will. The bit about this that really stuck with me is the court's ruling on this, quote, while he did not intend to kill them,
Starting point is 01:04:31 he is accountable for their deaths. Yeah. What do you think was going to happen? You knew they were in the fucking house. I don't know if not intending to kill them in some... is accurate. This will spook them. What I explode their entire fucking house
Starting point is 01:04:48 and the house next door? Sometimes, like I said, you sometimes just get caught up in the moment. Yeah. We've all got a little crazy. And is that a crime? You know what? Is it a crime to get caught up in the heat of the moment?
Starting point is 01:05:00 Personally, I think we're never going to survive unless we get a little crazy. Yes. We should all just get a little crazy. Yeah. We should all get a little crazy. This was definitely an episode of the podcast, Port-de-Vista. Thank you so much for joining us.
