Roodley if you want to. Hey, welcome to Bonta Vista, episode 440. And welcome to another intro that came to me the other night in a dream. I ran into Jacob Alorty at Brisbane's iconic Riverside venue Felons, and he was a fan of the show, and Jacob Alorty came up to me and he said, Hey, do you remember the Muppets babies? Well, what if it was the Buntar Vista babies? With you is me, Lucy.

A tattooed emo baby with snake bite piercings, which is adorable. Also with us is a swagged out toddler in a gold chain Who is frankly smoking a lot more weed than is allowed at this daycare And he won't share any of it He's also shitting and pissing all over himself Hey baby Andrew can I get a little hit Yeah I think that's a really unfair Characterisation of me

I've been the most weed sharingest man on the planet For decades now Decades Yeah that's true I say waving my blood around in the daycare I'm kind of hitting a few other Muppet babies It's leaving their felt skin smoldering around the edges.

You don't just get burned. You've got to like, you got to pat it and put the edges out. We're just real babies. We're just skin babies. Oh, I thought we were Muppet babies. My bad.

It's just baby versions of us. Baby five. Yeah, because the Muppets were puppets to start with. It wasn't by the property of being a baby that they were humans. So we just babies. So we're more like if we said, hey,

AI, here's a photo of us. Can we all be babies? Yeah. Yes. And don't do that. Don't send that to us. Please don't send that to us. Hey, also with me is a bearded toddler of oddly long proportions.

He's wise beyond his ears. He's wearing a hat that says nap time. And he's always carrying a tiny little brown puppy. He's also shitting and pissing all over himself and begging for milky's. Because Ben usually wears a sleep hat. Yeah, that's a sleep hat. You probably have to know that to say. Yeah.

It's funny. It's funny. I was so on board with when I realized that Louis is also a baby in this situation, which is fucking adorable. And then you had to, you knew that that would be too nice. And you were like, well,

I got to put the shit in the piss in there to, like, bring it back a little bit. I love milkies. All you're, and I'm not talking about is milkies. Are you better? It's why you're shitting yourself. Are you better at digesting lactose as a baby? Do you have enzymes in your stomach that, like,

the enzymes I don't have? the lactase or whatever that breaks down. Does breast milk have lactose? Does breast milk have lactose? I'm googling right now. Surely. Yeah. Who's going to take the hit on their account?

How obvious this is. Well, they can shut the fuck up. And the breastfed baby. Yes, it does naturally contain lactose. Okay. Approximately 7% of mature breast milk. Oh, yeah. Which is higher.

I like a mature. I like a mature. concentration than in cow's milk. Higher. Okay. There's going to be some real unhappy babies out there. No, they can be lactose intolerant babies, right? They have to have formula.

They have like lactose-free formula. Babies are always having an upset tummy. Died before we had formula. Probably, yeah. Too much diarrhea. Yeah, I think they would have died from me. Speaking of which, Ben, are you going to throw that nappy out or can I have it? I didn't like this at all.

Hey, also, here is Theo. Hey, bud. Hey, how you going? Awesome. Is he unchanged, Lucy? He's unchanged. Yeah. That's the bit.

Kind of a baby. A bit I was going for. Jacob Allorty told me in a dream. Okay, don't know who that is. Andrew, that weed is loud as fuck as well. Are you getting a little contact high in the daycare, buddy? We went to the beach over the Easter long weekend. Terrible place.

True. The like little apartment that we were staying in. was directly next to another big blog of apartments and come like 8.39 o'clock every day this lady would come out. AM or PM? Sorry. AM. I am to her like second floor balcony

and just hit the fucking loudest weed I've ever smelled in my life. It would just smoke our entire apartment out and it was like 20 meters away. I have no idea what shit she was smoking. Every time, like, there was no safe spot in our place that you couldn't just be, like, overwhelmed with the spell of wheat. Did your kids get, like, more chilled out or anything? They're all at the beach mostly.

Thank God, by the way. Suddenly really. No, that's it. That's the end of that sentence. Is passive smoking better? for weed. No, it's actually good. It makes you smart.

It's smelling it on the streets over here. Yeah. And it kind of chills me out a bit. And also, better at guitar as well. Yeah. Yeah. Hot-boxing my kids.

You haven't been playing your guitar. Maybe we need to be smoking weed more passively. Maybe I should, yeah. I should probably do more passive weed smoking. Light a joint and put it in one of those little incense hold. That's a really great idea. Yeah. That's a fun.

I just came up with it. Can you do that? Could you put like a little bit of like resin in one of those like resin burners? I mean, it'd be very expensive. Like a joint wouldn't work. A joint's just going out. Yeah. The joint's just going to go out.

It doesn't have. You put an apparatus on it that did a sort of a light sucking and blowing in motion on it. Oh, this is my light sucking and blowing apparatus. Yeah. It's weird. People keep trying to invent that, venting that, but getting distracted halfway through. Yeah. I actually invented something totally different.

Ready different uses for this. It turns out a lot of people have invented this too. A lot of people that invented it, they kept it very, very secret. I think if you made it, if you made this and it was successful for weed, it's got to kind of go, do like the triple kind of really feel and it kind of thing suck.

You wanted to just be doing like the gentlest, enough to keep it going. Just like a little. And then afterwards, And it makes that noise every time. Yeah, it makes the sound of a 47-year-old saying, damn, that's good shit while everybody goes, they didn't have that cut it back.

Why would you have this? There's a crazy weed apparatus here that I've never seen. It's like a bag that inflates. Oh, I had the bag that inflate. It fucking sucked. Everybody had the volcano. The volcano sucked. It never worked for me.

What the fuck? It's no good. I don't know. Other people swore by it. But I was doing something wrong. It never fucking never worked. Let me tell you. It's been working for me.

Oh, yeah, dude. Yes, bitch. The thing is, you got to trust the process because, like, it looks like there's nothing in it. Yeah. And there you go, well, there's just air in there, you know. You got a honkled way. That's a Stores and Bickle invention.

That's the same Germans who make my vape. Do you say Stores and Bickel? Stores and Bickel. Big names. Big names, me. The German duo that invented the horrifying vapes that I use. Yeah. The brick-sized smart car vape that you have.

You do have a smart car vape. And it works like the dickens. This bitch has a smart car. This guy's got the Chevy Silverado vape. Pulling up at your house and asking if I can plug my vape in. Do you guys remember the magic flight box? The magic flight box. The magic flight box.

Before you could get like proper vapes, you could get. get these little DIY kind of kits. An organic handcrafted smokeless solution for herbal enjoyment? Oh yeah, you've heard of it.

Great. So it's just kind of like a little heated element that I think takes maybe like one double A battery maybe and a little wooden box and a little sliding kind of per spec's window

and then the battery heats up an element which slowly heats your weed and then dude, get this. You get fucking high. You have all sorts of ideas you would normally have. you have a really good time watching Dragon Ball Z.

Yeah. Maybe you watch Jojo's bizarre adventure. Maybe it's the best thing you've ever seen in your life. Yeah. Why do you reckon that like the impact that legal weed has had on like people in their 30s getting back into animates? Getting over like their self-consciousness. Yeah.

Pretty high, I'd say. This fucking rules, dude. I can probably point to a direct correlation. When I'm watching Jojo while I'm high, the problem is I like having subtitles on. And if you're watching it with the dub, With the English dub, everybody calls all of their stands and special moves by their names that they had to change them to to avoid copyright infringement. Because the names of everybody's stands are like Ario Speedwagon and the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dance song titles and shit.

You're a fellow Jojo enjoyer. Yep. Which absolutely rules, but it's like a little distracting. What do you mean they're stands? What are you talking about? Okay. No. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no. We're not. I think we've cultivated a bit of an image as a podcast, and this is completely undermined it entirely. Okay. For us to talk any more about Jojo's bizarre adventure would be a crime. We talk about crimes in Crime Watch.

Well, Lucy, the new season's out. New season of Jojo's out. I didn't even know. It's so exciting. Me and Jesse watched Robocop the other day, and I got startled by a in real-life crime watch. It was on the screen. You haven't seen him.

Yeah. I mean, a long time, when I was like seven, I saw it when it was seven. It's perfect. I was re-watching it. I was like, ooh, I don't know about that. Yeah. It's famously a violent movie. Not sure.

That guy gets shown the dick. It gets shot in the dick. Wow, what a beautiful connection. This is all going to tie it together. From WIVB in Buffalo, New York, man arrested for pulling gun at Bar Bill in East Aurora. Pretty exciting so far.

Illinois? Not just a place, but a state of mind. A West Seneca man was arrested for allegedly pulling a gun during a tip dispute at Bar Bill Tavern and East Aurora earlier this week, according to police. So, Lucy, you know this because you're there right now, but in America they don't pay people, so you have to sort of decide an amount that goes to the person that served you because they have this weird fucked up. I don't even know how to explain it really.

And then you get paranoid every time and you say, I'm so sorry, I'm Australian. Does this seem reasonable to you? 30%? 35. Is 40? Correct? Because the meal was so cheap. 40 now. Yeah.

And the meals aren't cheap anymore. They're not cheap anymore. The meals aren't cheap anymore. They didn't tell you this. They didn't tell me this before I came here. Yeah. I saw someone on blue skies like someone who are usually respect and they're like, you know, you should still tip people even in countries where they pay people enough.

and getting really angry when people disagreed with them. Because like, no, no, dude, you don't, okay, you're still in, you're still in America mode now with your thinking. Like, it shouldn't, it shouldn't be up to how much you think the person smiled as to whether or not they can purchase groceries this week. Yeah, like, they shouldn't have to do it. I find it quite hard to smile, actually. I know you're still American.

You've come so far to get to this point. I just need you to go a little bit further and just... And kill the American in your head. Kill the American in you, yeah. Kill the fucking yank in your head. Kill the American inside your head, yeah. Yeah. I tip when it's relevant, you know?

Yeah, we don't need to get into this. No, I think we should. Anyway, so that's hopefully a little bit of background on what this is about, just for anyone that's not from the United States. Police were called to the restaurant at around 1115 p.m. Wednesday, where 40-year-old Scott Rukowski is accused of pulling a gun after he got upset over a $1 tip left by another customer.

Okay. So he's a customer. Oh, he's a customer. Oh shit. He's a customer. And he's like, you son of a bitch. You fuck. You fucking cheap ward.

Okay, I like it. Yeah. Do you think he saw the $1 tip and he couldn't contain his rage? Or he's kind of spent the evening with one hand hovering over his concealed carry weapon, just hoping for something. Anything. Just piss me off once.

Give me a fucking reason, dude. Oh, what's that? Not a single. There's the reason. Lincoln? Who's on the one? Is that Lincoln on the one? Yeah, that's Lincoln on the one?

Lincoln on the one. That's Lincoln on the one. That man dropped a solo Lincoln. I'm going to drop him. Yes. Rikowski allegedly went to his car and came back into the restaurant with the gun after he got upset. I love the word upset. Upset.

Because there's a strong sense of justice. Yeah. I'd be upset. That ain't right. Yeah. I love Barbill. I love these people. You came in and you had a beautiful evening, a beautiful meal,

one dollar. Solo Lincoln. Fourscore and nine millimeters, bitch. Yeah. You know? It can't be surely. It couldn't have been, I don't even think we're past the point where it's a $1 per beer tip as well, right?

Right. I feel like it's different. Oh my God, you've got to do it per beer? I suppose because you're paying at that point, right? Yeah, but sometimes a beer is $3. So it's kind of. Yeah, true.

But I think if you're like, like at a nice place now it's like two bucks per year but also most of the time they run a tab we definitely don't need to rehash this. I hope our listeners are American and they know. Yeah, let's just keep doing this. This is really good. They drive on the side of the road. I do want to say sorry to some of our American listeners for being so harsh about you guys

not being able to drink. I didn't think about Chicago. Chicago's different. Yeah. It's a different place. Dricking a lot of Malort. You've become one of them. Yeah.

Malort Max. That's how they get you. You Malort Max. You're Malort Max. an old style and all of a sudden you live in Chicago, you know. Nothing but hot dog. Wet beef. Hot beef and wet dogs.

Yeah. I'll take my dog wet, thanks. Hey buddy, make it extra wet. Yeah, yelling out to the wages. Oh, can I get this a little more wet, please? Just asking for everything wet. Not quite my wetness. He is further.

accused of pointing it at the direction of quote several customers, including at one person's genitals, and threatening to shoot the customers, plural, who left the tip, according to the police report. Oh, one dollar tip for multiple people? Yeah. It's pretty bad. Like multiple

people getting in on that Lincoln? Yeah, they're split in a Lincoln. Split the link? Split the Lincoln. You want to go halfs in a solo Lincoln? Oh, God. Three Lincoln's bad enough. You can't split the Lincoln. And if you were

Americans want to adopt this cool slang we're intending for a table of two leaving a one dollar tip. Sometimes the coolest stuff comes from like the outside looking in, like Japanese people dressed up as greases. American greasers never thought to make their hair that tall. Yeah. You're going to commit, you're going to go all the way. They didn't think to spend 12 hours a day, seven days a week in the gardens outside the Imperial Palace doing cool dances. Doing the twist. Three foot tall.

Fuck, that's cool. Doing the twist like you're being hit with a cattle prod. So fucking good. And you know what? They're not getting paid to do it. No, love of the game. And they get to be viewed. No, what are they getting paid for?

They're out there 12 hours a day. Oh, they're all seeing them. They're all combing their hair. Yeah. Putting pomade in it. They're all next in line to like inheritors Zipat to. You say pomade, Theo? Poemade, yeah.

Pomade. Pomade. Moving on. Moving on. We don't have to. Let's stick to the pomade. Rikowski was found a little over two hours later in Springville and was arrested. That is so awesome to just be like seeing someone stiffing your like favorite hospitality workers and being like, give me one second.

I think I have just the thing. Walking through the door, cocky the guy to be like, I'm going to shoot your fucking dick on. Yeah, I'm going to get my big gun. Back in a second. And he didn't shoot anybody, right? It didn't shoot anybody. Dix still on. Rikowsky is charged with the following.

Second degree menacing, prohibited use of a weapon. Second degree criminal possession of a weapon. Criminal possession of a firearm in a sensitive location. Second degree reckless endangerment. Pick one. Yeah, man. Yeah, come on. It's like, you know, it's like, you know, the old, like, you know, Inuits have 300 words for snow or whatever that bullshit is.

Like, obviously Americans need 600 different crimes for gun. just to kind of tease them apart. If you want to like write in to be like, well actually a lot of them are compound words and it's very common in languages to shut up, we know. Sometimes we refer to stuff we know is wrong. If we're asking a question, we sort of all know.

It's not a question. It's not a question. It's rhetorical. We literally never need an answer unless, and you have to be so aware of yourself, you have something truly, staggeringly insightful or funny. Look hard.

I just want to be crystal clear about this. This podcast is not about answering questions. It's about making them. Yeah. Creating them. One way. And it's not your role to answer them. That's right.

Do not answer them. He was remanded to the Erie County Holding Center pending for the court proceedings. Quote, there's plenty of victims here and our heart goes out to all of them. Bar Bill owner Clark Crook said, we're thankful no one got hurt. I think it would fucking suck to be menaced with a gun.

I'm kind of on edge a lot of the time, you know, due to my proclivities. And I think adding a gun being waved at me would probably make it worse. Yeah, but okay, here's another bad feeling is that you've been slaving away with one really annoying table of two for three and a half hours on a Friday night. and then you get to the table, you look at the bill and they have split a Lincoln. Yeah. How bad does that anybody feel? I'm not saying that there's... I'm not saying that there's like, you know, one bad guy in all of this.

Yeah. I'm just thinking that maybe Clark Crook, the bar bill owner, when he was saying there's plenty of victims here, he had a massive smile on his face. He's grinning from ear to ear. This is their Batman. Yeah. Oh, I'm so mad.

that he did this, that he threatened to shoot their fucking dick off because they sucked ass. Didn't want to choose a superhero that was like not the guy that specifically uses guns. Not the opposite of what I said. That was a really good burden. Perfect. Perfect. Yeah.

I think there's probably a lot of women out there in Australia who are familiar with the very unpleasant experience of being out with guys and something has happened. someone has done something, some disrespectful behavior towards you. And a guy that you are friends with or involved with takes it upon himself to go, ah, I will serve some justice. And I will do this by causing a violent encounter and ruining everybody's night and maybe like getting someone arrested. Maybe if someone was extremely disrespectful and harassed your life and then you found an unrelated person and slapped him in the face. time. It slapped him in the face. I apologized to him. I said, sorry about that.

One time. One time. And you guys are best friends to this day. It's the craziest thing. You met over a slap at a burr. But I just think, imagine how much more that unpleasant that whole experience would be if one person was kind of waving an instantly lethal weapon around the whole time and I can't help but think for the people who are working at this bar that like the $1 tip already kind of ruining your night yeah and then it's like I'll fix it and starts way like like I said waving the gun at multiple people yeah I'm helping I'm helping using it to point yeah I'm protecting your honor dry firing my gun around the bar holding it like a microphone every time be talked to anyone. Don't you see? This is helpful. Well, look, personally, I don't think

I would like it if someone, even if they thought they were helping me, brought a gun into my bar. But, you know, I'm not American. Yeah. Those guns are regional. And maybe someone will do it in a really funny and cool way too. So if you're hearing this and you're thinking, I'm not going to... No, no, no, no. I actually work at a different place. I work at Jimmy's on the mall. Don't worry about it. It's time for... Regional bullshit. Regional bullshit. Lucy, have you ever little town has got their own bullshit.

Regional bullshit. Every little town has just got to happen. Lucy, have you ever been to Jimmy's on the mall? Is that the one that's in the mall? Like outside is? No, it looks like dog shit. Yeah. It's actually dog shit.

old container of cunts. Who goes there? I've been there one time in the last 10 years and I went there with, yeah, let me just think, oh Theo, that's right. Oh. You guys went to Jim's in the Mall? Yeah, me, you and Marvin went to we were upstairs at Jimmy's on the Mall.

Really? Yeah. Very funny combination of people. A spectacular view though from Jimmy's on the Mall. You can see basically all of Queen Street Mall. Yeah. Cool.

Ben immediately switching to if there's one place I'd wave a gun around in. It'd be a lot of fun. This comes to us from W. A.K.A.A. in Alabama. Also, anyone else? Waka. Tickets now on sale for 22nd annual autism crawfish boil. Fuck yes.

20 seconds. Have to be autistic to go or? No, the crawfish are autistic. I have to be autistic to be boiled. You don't have to be autistic to boil these. Crawfish, but it helps. It's called the autism boil. Let's go.

Grand autism boil. And at least one and a half of the people on this podcast are autistic, by the way. So we're kind of in the clear on this. Who's bi-autistic on here? Autistic. He's got demi-autism. Yeah. Just wait for the right person.

to be my real self. And anyway, she's got something else. Yeah. We're only autistic where it counts. You know what I mean? I don't. It is once again, time for the autism crawfish boil. Comes around quicker every year.

This might actually be happening as we're speaking. What's a time? Wouldn't that be beautiful? This is bad radio. I don't want the first. fucking UK. Fuck off with that shit.

Oh, we just missed it. It just finished like an hour ago. Oh, that's a shame. Well, congratulations to the winners and the losers of the Survivors and respect

to the hallowed dead. To the victims. To the autistic dead. To the victors go the boils. Yes. Fuck. Nice. Nice.

The 22nd annual event will take place on Saturday, April 11th, from 3pm to 6 p.m at Darbos Park. That's a three-hour crawfish boil? How long did you do a crawfish boil for? All day. We're starting in the morning. We're going late until the night. We're drinking hooch. Perpetual stew situation?

Eating crawfish? Throwing crawfish in, pulling crawfish out. Pulling them out. We're rotating our crawfish. Rotating crawfish, drinking a schlitz. The event benefits Easter Seals, Central Alabama, and will feature mudbugs, live music, and baseball. Easter Seals? Seals are autistic now?

Easter. That's one word. Easter Seals. One word. Yeah. American 501 nonprofit providing disability services. Okay. All right.

Since 19601. Literally nothing funny in there. Nope. I still don't, I'm struggling with the three-hour window here. You got mudbugs, live music and baseball. at the crawfish bowl. You're wrapping it all up. You're basically just opening the gates

and then calling last drinks. This is crazy. How are you going to get in baseball and eating your crawfish bowl? Well, I think what you'll probably find is that a lot of the people there will have had their fill of. Yes.

They like a real end time, real solid end time to the event. Yeah. It's empty. Yeah. Live music. Oh, live music, but everybody's wearing headfords. It's like.

It's like a silent disco with the headphones up. Playing a completely different music. Listen to your own music. Yeah? A food that I'm just James Blunt on everybody's headphones. Picked a food as well that like for people with any kind of food sensitivity. Yeah. Hey, do you want to peel this boiled mud bug that smells like fish?

Yeah. I don't. And I have allergies. Potatoes. Corn. Mudbugs. Mudbugs. I think what I'm picturing here is that they have like a Black Friday situation at the front gate

where everybody is like freaking out and pushing up against the gate and everybody's like, uh-huh. What was the front? Three o'clock. Go. Get in there. And they're immediately running. They put their hands in the boiling crawfish water.

Yeah. Band starts playing at three o'clock on the dot. Yeah. Bad starts playing. Bad start playing. Yeah. Got to start the band. General admission starts at $50 and VIP tickets are $100.

Kids admission is $20 for ages 3 to 10. 100 bucks, VIP tickets, three hour crawfish boil? Three hours? Do you think that's good? Autism? Yeah, three hours, 100 bucks, crawfish boil. Hmm. I don't know, to me that sounds a little bit like a scam.

We're talking about scams in Scamwatch. Warning, warning. Someone has successfully or unsuccessfully attempted a scan must be judged. This is Samwatch. This comes to us from West Virginia Metro News. WVU Police issues community notice for alleged fraudster located on campus. Okay. All right.

Fraudster on campus? The West Virginia University Police Department announced that it has joined a national search for an alleged serial scammer who was located in Morgantown. Earlier this week, WVUPD said Jerry W. Baraka, Baraka, 65, was allegedly seen entering a building at the downtown campus on Tuesday. According to Department Chief Sherry St. Clair. God, such a beautiful name. What a density of a name.

What a beautiful name to waste on a cop. Yeah. That's fucking horrible. Sherry St. Clair, you should be like selling like, perfumes. Yeah. Exotic scents. You should be stealing art.

Yes. He got away again. Curse that Sherry, Sinclair. Want you? Baraka is accused of edging while wearing a high visibility construction vest and carrying a clipboard, where he falsely claimed to be a building inspector and where he later allegedly stole personal checks. This is amazing. Look, look, clipboard.

Classic move. Yeah, classic move. High Viz Vest, classic move. Both of these. They're like staples of the scam. Sometimes they're staples for a reason. Yes. The classics.

You could just put those on without any idea of the scam you were going to do. And I feel like it would just kind of come to you. Like it would just flow. The scam would arrive. Yeah, once you put those items on. to you equip those items? It's school holidays here at the moment and I was

I had a cold yesterday I was feeling under the weather so I was having a couch day and the kids were hanging out and we had a double Spielberg day we watched dual first. What a picture. What a picture. What a picture. I'm seen it. Oh, hoa.

What's that? 90 minutes of great fun as a man is harassed by a psycho trucker on the road. Spilberg's first movie. made for TV. Later got a theatrical release. Bloody what is it a documentary about driving on the Warago Highway? Right, come on!

That's what that means. Well, driving is when you... But we followed it up later in the afternoon with Catch Me If You Can, which is like, oh, what a beautiful textbook of the... All right. It's a great movie, fantastic movie. And it's so fun watching Leo's character just go through the whole process of like poking around the edges of everything to figure out where he can get his little scams off.

He's doing fake checks. He's doing fake IDs. He's pretending to be an airline pilot. Oh, it's wonderful stuff. So I imagine that this guy also did a reviewing of Cash Me If You Can and said, I need some of those checks. Yeah. If you made that movie 10 years ago, you'd be called Cash Me Outside if you can, I think. You reckon?

Probably. Do you think they would have called it Cash Me Outside if you can if it was made 10 years ago? I think they would have to get more people in the door. Yeah. But would it still be about, what's his name? Yeah, everything else is unchanged. But it's called Cash Me Outside. It doesn't feature that woman at all.

Can we, what year do we reckon that happened? 15 years ago. It's got to be. I hate to say it. I hate to say it. Theo was fucking. bang on. She gained viral recognition after appearing on the talk show Dr. Phil in 2016.

That's fucking amazing, dude. 10 years ago in fucking April? April 2016? What the fuck? Yeah, you get those memes in like June, July. That's right. In American summer, would everyone's spirits high? When her and her mother were interviewed on Dr. Phil for a segment titled

quote, I want to give up my car stealing knife wielding, 13 year old daughter who tried to frame me for a crime. Yeah. End quote. Something I like about Dr. Phil is that he just addresses the issues instead of trying to sensationalize them. Kind of, yeah, it deals with the underlying kind of concerns. Yeah.

Trug twerking in there is very funny. Yeah. You wouldn't get this over the winter months because I think it'd be too cold to be caught outside, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Quote. So we're looking for a male by the name of Jerry Baraka.

He is a 65-year-old white male and he is dressed as like a construction worker, said St. Clair. Yeah. Big claws coming out of his hands. I would have lightly sub-edited the like out of that because it just makes her sound stupid. It's like a, what do you call him? What are the hammer guys? Big trucks and the hard hats. One of the village people, not the cop.

Not the cop. Not the Indian. Oh man, I did some... I was reading about the village people the other day. Yeah, you were. Reading the Wikipedia article for the village people, as one does, which is what I said, that tremendous quote. Yeah, I saw that one going around.

Oh, when it happened? Yeah. I'm a little behind on the times. I know, well, I've got alert set up. Quote, there's been a lot of talk, especially of late, that YMCA is somehow a gay anthem. As I've said, numerous times of the past, that is a false assumption based on the fact that

My writing partner was gay and some, but not all of the village people were gay, and that the first village people album was totally about gay life. Yeah. This assumption is also based on the fact that the YMCA was apparently being used as some sort of gay hangout, and since one of the writers was gay and some of the village people are gay, the song must be a message to gay people. To that I say, once again, get your minds out of the gutter. It is not.

What do you mean the gutter? It's the gayest song I've ever heard in my life. That's so funny. It's just about going and hanging out. with your bros at the Y. Shoot who's at the Y with your straight dudes. They have everything for young men to enjoy. That's right.

You can hang out with all the boys. You can hang out with all the boys. You don't need to be gay. You don't need to be gay. When's this comment from then? Like two years ago? Yeah, so they've done like rallies with Trump and shit, right? Because he's always...

This is the reconstructed. He has the right. right? But he's one of the original guys. But I assume that he's had to like, he's had to retcon this. Because he's had to de-gay. It's not a gay song. It's a song about big, big strong generals.

Big, strong construction workers and big, strong policeman and army. Steel workers. According to Sinclair, Barakar is also accused of attempting to cash the stolen checks at local banks using an employee's signature that he had collected by requesting a sign-off for the fake work. Oh man, this guy's... This guy's got the... He's got the techniques. He's got the touch.

This is so neat. It's so clean. Yeah. Like, you just walk in and be like, oh, fucking Jesus, that ever, that's not up to freaking code. Oh, what the fuck? Yeah.

Oh, my God. You guys are still using the L200s. Okay. Whatever. All right. Maybe, uh, can you give me the little thing so I can go fix this?

And then you get the signature. And while you were chatting to them, you were pointing at the roof, pointing out the old L-200s that they were using. You're lifting the personal checks from the checkbook on their desk? I guess. And he's not even from New Jersey. No one knows where he's from. That's what's beautiful. Does that look like mold up there?

Does that look like mold up there? As I'm rifling through your pockets. Is your camera have a good, your phone have a good camera on it? Because mine is garbage. Can you get up there, take a photo with that L2A? you send that to me I put it on my phone and then I can you sign off for this

I'll go replace them otherwise you guys get a fire at here this place is going boom If you can think of an easier way to do this I'd like to hear it Where you store in your PS5s Oh my God That's not rated for PS5 storage

I'll take these away Just give me the signature here I'm saving your life The only thing is that no one wants to press charges. He was just so charismatic. He's just so charming about it. He gave me some beef jerky from his pocket. Like, I'm not, you know.

He's going to fix my PS5. He's going to jailbreak. It's like I'm going to have a thousand. He's going to put all of the games on there. He was going to give me assassin creed, which I'm really excited about. I've never even heard of it. It sounds great. He's going to give you the secret porno Mario.

the Nintendo made the did it release. He says he's going to put Mew. He's putting Mew on my PS5. Yeah.

He says he's got a secret way to get Mew, which like awesome. It sounds great. Crazy. Didn't expect Mario to have a landing strip. It's like when people get like busted out of a cult,

but they still kind of believe in the cult leader. Yeah. He was just so, it was just so honest and true in his spirit. He was right about like the UFO rapture, but he was an asshole

and that's why I've left. Still believe the UFO rapture is coming. After entering the building on the WVU downtown campus, Baraka then attempted to travel around to Morgantown area local businesses to attempt the same scheme. Baraka was allegedly seen targeting a business

in Westover. You got a PS5C? I still can't. The checks thing is crazy. Where is he lifting the personal checks from? People just have checkbooks on them? People just carry checkbooks or it maybe. In America? Not pig pocketing, surely.

Not to get into American finances again. But yeah, when we were watching Catch Me if you can, we had to pause it and go, now checks were a thing. Like, I got somehow, I can't even remember ever filling anything in about this or anything like that. I got a letter in the mail a little while ago that was like, you are the beneficiary of a settlement that Amazon reached with Donald Trump's FTC. And it kept saying Donald Trump's FTC all the way through the thing. Donald Trump has secured you a refund for this thing.

Like a class action lawsuit thing. And you're in Australia? Yeah, but it was something to do with like an Amazon Prime membership, like that they sort of auto-rolled people over to an Amazon Prime thing, which had happened to me at some point, I want to say. And it was a check for like $40 American. Oh, shit. And I said, well, that's like $6 million in Australia.

Usually it's like six cents. Yeah, yeah. Thanks Donald Trump. I guess he's not that bad of a guy. Yeah. And I thought, that's pretty funny. And I looked up because I'm with a bank that is mostly online only and looked it up and they're just like, we don't do checks at all. Yeah.

Just in any way. You can just frame that then. It's the check I got from Donald J. Trump. That's right. They say you can't get any money out of Trump. But look at me. But yeah, I was like, how would I deposit a check? And in the FAQ thing on my bank's website, it was like, open it.

account with another bank and deposited it in there and then you can transfer it to yourself maybe that's how not on the radar checks are in this country you could maybe go to another bank a different bank maybe you can go to the 50s provincial shit yeah were you guys old enough to get a checkbook yeah the dolomites one right yeah I had a dolomites checkbook yeah that was that a Jackboarded all right. I was that for depositing. The gobble docks. Yeah.

I didn't get, yeah. I put my stupid little signature on there. Ah, six lollies, please. Two killer pythons. Yeah. And that cost. And back then, that would have been like 50 cents. Yeah.

Ghost drops, five cents. Yeah. Warheads. Ten cents. Little pack of fake cigarettes with a slur. They're called a slur on them. Yeah. Did we have the slur?

Little jitter. Oh my God. We had the slur. Also a slur. Oh. I feel like the slur switched over when I was a child. We're the same age, Lucy. Yeah.

You were definitely around at the slur time. You think I was the new ones too. You think I was there for the change. I actually just don't see slurs. They blur on my screen, you know. Yeah. Lucy was a young soul. Just like a new word for late developer. She can't reach seven years old.

Still not getting letters in that, yeah, she's a young soul. Very young soul. She's the soul of a newborn baby. As part of the investigation, it was discovered that Baraka has wanted on at least 11 other outstanding warrants for alleged theft and fraud in other states, according to St. Clair Barak was confirmed to be active in Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of West Virginia. They can't get this guy. He's in the wind.

He's in the tri-state area. Yeah. I like that they're saying. say it's a national investigation and it's Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia. Like, don't say national. That makes me think you got investigators in California. Alaska. Investigators in Alaska. Arizona.

India. We could list all the states we know. Puerto Rico. The Westover Police Department is confirmed to be investigating the report of his appearance in Westover. Barakra is white, five feet nine inches tall with gray hair. At the time of the alleged campus crimes, he was driving a rental vehicle, a 2025 Black Hyundai Allantra with an Alabama license plate, AOCP5E-N.

Do not approach him if you see him. Yeah, he's got to scam you. That's just my advice because he'll scam you. You'll think you're not being scammed and you've been scammed. You'll enjoy it though. You'll like being scammed by this guy. You know what? Worth the price of admission.

Yeah. It's like paying for a good night out, you know? Yeah. Worth it for having fun, even if you have nothing material to keep. from just the memory and a smile. You'll go into it thinking that you're going to outsmartim and you'll get back into your own car, patting your pockets and going,

where are my four personal checkbooks that I carry around at all times? I spent all this time pre-signing them. I'm about efficiency. I'm about efficiency. Yeah, you get so annoyed if you've lost your pre-signed personal checkbook and your Fob watch, the two things that you always have on you. Wait, let me just check the pocket of the pocket of the book. my waistcoat. No!

No! Hey, getting scared by this guy, it's kind of like meeting a celebrity. We talk about celebrities in Celebrity Watch. I reckon before we do the next Brisbane live show, we need you, Andrew, to make a like full seven-minute dance version of that

song and then get it pressed to vinyl. So we can drop it in our DJ sets. It's a little 45s made. Yeah, dude. Have you seen those like super dodgy companies that will press a one off record if you send them a Spotify playlist? What's dodgy about that?

Oh, I've been looking into this, don't you worry? Oh, okay. I want someone that's not me to do it so I can see how shit it is. Andrew? So my understanding of this is that just that you can totally get it done, but they're just like pressing a digital file to a thing. and there's no sort of, there's no, they're not mastering your shit for you, you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. And like the thing I was reading, the company I was looking at, they don't, they use the Spotify playlist as a reference, then they go and purchase a like, whatever the highest fidelity copy of that song they can get is, and then they put it in there,

which I'm sure is what they would say. But there's no way it's good. It'll be, the volumes would be all over the place. I bet it's shit. But also, it'd be pretty cool to just be like, cool mix. Number seven, these are all my favorite songs this week, like the CDs I used to make when I was 15 years old.

Yes. This is from WJBF at Augusta, Georgia. John Daly draws big crowds at Top Dogg tavern during Masters. Top Dog. It's your home, Andrew. It's your boy. That's a golfer. Except for his bad beliefs.

We don't endorse him. What does he believe? I don't know. He's like super right-wing. about some stuff or something. Okay. A golfer? But he is...

But he is unfortunately cool. We've talked about him before. John Daly's whole vibe is that he is a large-ish man with a big old beard who just drinks 500 beers a day, smokes 30 packs of cigarettes, and he's pretty good at golf. He's a professional golfer. He's no Rory McElroy, but... He's a Rory Macalroy, that's for sure. Naming the guy, I know, because I played Rory McElroy's...

PGA tour. He's been a staple in Augusta during Masters Week for years. Golfer John Daly was known for camping out at Hooters every year to meet his fans, but he had to find a new location after the restaurant closed and the building was torn down. They're tearing down the Hooters.

They're tearing down the Hooters. There's something very final about that. It's not just that it went out of business and something else went into that orange building. They can't sell the building. Yeah, it's no good. They tore it down. They salted the earth. tear down the Hooters and put up a parking lot, you know?

Yes. Yes. That's what they took from us. Big John, wild thing. Whatever nickname has been called, his fans love him. This year, daily set up camp at Top Dog Tavern across the street from where Hooters used to be, and hundreds of patrons are flocking there to meet the legend. I'm just imagining of looking kind of sad the whole time and going, it's not the same.

Yeah, he's looking at the parking lot. The waitresses chests and being like, Oh. Another B cup. They're pretty okay, I guess. Being asked to sign them and being like, it's barely worth it. I don't even want to. Can't get my whole name on these little things.

Do something about breast size inflation. They're getting bigger. I think they're getting bigger just because we're getting bigger in general. bigger. They're getting bigger. Yeah. And you want something to do about us. Is there a problem?

Is there a solution? We used to be happy with a C cup. I think we're still happy with a C cup. And I'm not talking about like getting breast and large or anything like that. I just think like people in their tastes, they're just, they're seeking out. The taste are changing. They're seeking out bigger, bigger, bigger. No, I think.

Okay. Are we currently on the... Are we coming back? is it um because zoomers are they're going towards the like they said basumers basumers basumers because they're they're going back to being uh like eating disorder oh yeah they're doing toxic eating disorder stuff again

I think it's coming back down yeah making themselves unhealthy so they can wear low-rise jeans I think if there's one thing we can all agree on it's bad out there it's rough out there folks look the official stance of this podcast is that absolutely all breasts are beautiful except for the yucky ones. Yeah,

they're all awesome except like the weird ones. Unless they like sit weird. Yeah. Unless they're not like perfect kind of, you know, you know, ideal. You know when like Dolly Doctor

would have like a full page photo of just lots of different kinds of regular normal looking breasts so you could be like, hey, I guess all bodies are beautiful. Yeah. Any of the ones in those?

Not interested. Get them out of here. Get them out of here. We're joking. We're joking, by the way. It's a bit. We're all asexual. True.

None of us have any, like, sexual interests or things are attracted to. I had all my shit sawn off and then sanded back, so. Yeah. Theo is a concrete sphere. He is a tungsten cube. He is a sandstone pyramid in an empty desert.

He feels nothing about your breasts. I'm a moderately sized jellyfish. A drift on the adriot. Currants. Oh boy. And I'm whatever the normal amount of horny is. Yeah. Quote, I've seen him play and I think he's hilarious.

We heard he was going to be here, so we decided to stop by and just see what was going on. Explained golf patron Scott Strupp of Savannah. Got some good names this week. Scott Strip, that's nice. Scott Strupe and he's just coughing the whole time. Scott Strupp of the Strupp Waffle Dynasty. Scott Scroop. Masters Week is always busy at Top Dog Tavit

and this year John Daly is drawing even more people into the restaurant. Quote, John Daly being here is definitely helping our business. A lot of folks would have went across the street to Hooters, you know, if Hooters were still open, said David Langdown. Obviously. Yeah. Yeah, fucking John Daly would have gone across the street to Hooters

if Hooters were still open. Yeah. That's sort of the thing about Hooters is people like to go there, especially if John Daly is there. I guess, except this one. What happened at this? who it is. Langdale told

News Channel 6 that having Daily at Top Dog Tavern all week has been a blast. Quote, The myth, the legend. Yes, ma'am. He is definitely fun to hang out with.

He takes pictures with all the kids and anybody that asks for an autograph and a picture. He's there to help them out. He loves it. Baguiole said. Daily's won two major championships but never a masters.

He's not your typical pro golfer, which some say is what makes him appealing. Quote, just the way he, he's just like an everyday golfer. He just takes the swing way too far back and he's back swing and he swings as hard as he can

but he's, he is a legend he's a really good golfer and he's just hilarious. I mean he's kind of just a knucklehead you know, strupluffed. It's kind of a fucking idiot. He's kind of shitty at sports. He's not that good at it by like and he's kind of stupid.

If the Three Stooges was one guy and all the episodes were about playing golf, you know? This is John. The one stooch. The Omni stooch. Top Dog Tavern hopes the restaurant becomes

Daly's new landing spot during the Masters Going Forge. So you're still in like the This is First Date territory. He's coming here this time, but you don't know whether he's going to permanently lock in for this being a spot. Oh, they're like all the local

places hoping that John Daly's going to be coming to their place. But he'll patronize your venue. Yeah. All hands meeting where they're talking about it like he's a really important critic coming to the restaurant. It's very important that we impress John Daly today. Pull your shirt down. Pull your shirt down.

John Daly's here. Can you just like a sock or something? Anything you're there. Just even them up. Just a little bit. God, they're pathetic. You undo those buttons. Looking at a mirror at your medium size tinnies and going, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, John Daly's here. Oh, babe, you're home early from work.

Boss said my titties were too sad and he sent me home. And we think, again, all beautiful, all beautiful. All beautiful, exactly bad ones. Except the bad ones. Yeah, especially Lucy. She is insatiable. It's insane. Yeah.

When I say the bad ones, whatever you picture when I say that, them. Yes. All the rest of them, beautiful. Quote, John Daily being here has been a big, success and we definitely would love to see him come back next year and stuff. So we're treating him well. He's treating us well and he's having a lot of fun. So we do expect him back here next year,

said like, yeah, we fully expect him back here. He's going to come back. He's coming back. He's coming back. Promise me you'll come back. Please. Please, John Daly.

Please. What does treating John Daly well mean? Like you're letting him smoke in all of the non-smoking areas. You never let him finish a beer. When he's down to like the last 10% You've already got a freshie for him. Yeah. Like bam, here you go, sir.

You're lighting his cigarettes for him. You're only sending out. Like a first edition, 1970s playboy for him. Oh my God. Sir, would you like to see our collection? You've already... Doing the whites on the air thing, but like, this... This one for sir, shall we open it?

You've already hidden the poro mag like inside, like a large format Atlas of the Universe. Middle pages open, Porto inside. So all the kids think he's just looking at the Atlas of the Universe and the stars and stuff. There's a little something for Daddy inside. There's a little something for

John Daly inside. We weren't able to speak with Daly because of how many people were waiting to meet him. However, his people told us that he's loved being at Top Dog Tavern and praised the experience saying it's been excellent. His people?

His people? You spoke to his major domo? And he said, no, he will not speak to you right now. But Jonathan Daly will not be speaking to you at this moment. He can't have a team. There's no fucking way he has a team. But he says that the meal was superlative and... The tini's?

All right. Okay. You know, all bodies are beautiful. But for Mr. Daly, we do actually prefer. He's a little more in the neighborhood. Hood of D. Double D are above. Generally kind of his preference.

This isn't a criticism. Just a note for next year. He wants a little more symmetry. And we're thinking double D in upwards. We can reduce the size for symmetry. You know, we don't have to go. It doesn't have to be like E and above.

It's a compromise. Don't bring in anything out of town. Simetry, the three cities. But, you know, whatever you can get with it. We're going to be reading a, we're going to be reading a story in six months

about a series of hooters. they got scammed by a guy who came in with a high-vis vest and a clipboard. Yeah, I'm from John Daly's advanced team. See to check out the setup. I'm going to need all the waitresses to line up. It's horrible. We do think women are people, by the way. Just to clarify.

I mean, most of us. Lucy's still dealing with some stuff. But the rest of us. Internalized misogyny. It's rough out there. They raise you to hate yourself. That's so true. Mothers that hate women, raising women that hate women. Isn't that tragic? That's so sad.

That's why you're going to break the cycle by hanging out with three dudes every week. That's right. I'm just hanging out with mostly dudes. Mostly dudes. And they're objectifying women's buddies. Yeah, to appreciate them for once. Just appreciate them. That's right. John Daly will be at Top Dog Tavern every day during Master's Week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Who will be at Top Golf.

Friday night only from 6pm to 9pm. Taking that dude out of there on a stretcher every night. You tell him he's going to be at top golf from 6 to 9? 6 to 9 top golf. Interesting. So what's he doing? If he's there every day during Masters week from 9 to 5, is he not playing golf? Yeah, what's he up to?

Is he not at the Masters to play golf because he's a professional golfer? Is he literally just there? I mean, he's not in the Masters, right? Looking at pornos. He wouldn't be in the Masters. I mean, he's not even, he's not an official part. For the vibe? An event?

I don't know. Press to him? This is a personality thing, surely, right? Like, this is like when wrestlers go to conventions and stuff, right? Yeah. You can just go and meet Rowdy, Roddy Piper. Yep. And stuff.

And you can talk to him for 10 minutes before he says, I'm sorry, the line's really long, pal, but it was lovely meeting you. It's like when they say, hey, Guy Sebastian's coming to. Our part of Wuhan, China. Yeah, man, it's exactly like that. Just any... My recollection. To bring up Guy Sebastian in Wuhan, China.

Was there for a full week, if you went to one specific part of Wuhan, you could meet and greet Guy Sebastian. Bring your pangolin! Bring your pangolin to meet Guy Sebastian. He's an adventurous eater. Whatever you've got, he will give it a crack. Yeah. And he brought his hat. Oh, he's not feeling so good.

Guy Sebastian is Guy Sebastian is very tired He was patient zero He was patient zero Ground zero Subject zero That's a genuine belief we have

Yeah absolutely I don't have any beliefs at this stage I'm completely mutable I'm beliefless You know what's weird You look at the Wikipedia article for COVID 19 It doesn't mention him even once That's just like a crazy because they don't want you to know.

That really makes you think. I mean, it's, it's canon that he was there. We know. It's documented. He's definitely there. He was in Wuhan. Yeah.

What are they trying to hide? This is definitely an episode of the podcast, Bonta Vista. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, Lucy, for dealing with Jesse's microphone set up for a full 15 minutes before we did this. Yeah, you're welcome.

Thanks for holding down the fort. It felt more like 20 to 25 minutes to be. Also, I'm at all of you for saying that I was on a hinge date, but that's fine. You literally. Were you not on a hinge date? Which I found out from the guy I've been dating. I mean, listening to the show. I mean, I feel like I don't know what you want us to do.

I would like to point out that I chose not to. edit out Theo saying you were on a hitch date, but I did choose to leave in me saying, hey, don't do that. So I think, and I was like, thank you, Ben, thank you. I'm in your corner. I'm actually kind of like your best friend. Even though you're there. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for joining us. If you want two of these episodes a week, you can sign up at patreon.com slash boda vista. Yeah.
