Starting point is 00:00:02 which is refreshing things, babe, like, this type of thing. Stranger Things 1 seemed like when I watched it the first one, like the first season. Is that just because I was stupid? If I went back, I feel like, I think it's good. I think it's good.
Starting point is 00:00:15 But then they've got to make it into something. They just clearly haven't, like, got the juice. More like the silly duffer brothers. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Hello and welcome to Punta Vista, episode 444. I'm Ben,
Starting point is 00:00:32 and today we're doing past life regression, see who and when we were to try and figure out how these things have informed the shape that our souls have taken now in this lifetime. Theo, we made a big breakthrough with you today. Yeah, Augustus Caesar, I thought. No, that's not what we found. Not his name either.
Starting point is 00:00:49 It was Chucky Cheese. Chimmy's not a real man. We managed to identify a past life of yours in the ancient city of Pompeii. Okay. You were, and now this obviously would have had a huge impact on the following lives. You were there about 300 years before the eruption. I was the emperor Pompeii, I think.
Starting point is 00:01:11 No, you were the village Johnny Pompey. Which is, you know, massive. Do you see how this is headed? Can you see how being a sort of mostly anonymous cum dumpster in Pompeii well before anything noteworthy happened? to it how that might have influenced your life now. It's even killed by the four games. No, no, no, no, no. You died hundreds of years before the eruption of Mount Fusuvius.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah, I mean, I think in terms of like my rejection syndrome and that sort of stuff, because I'm used to having kind of being, you know, no loads refused. Oh, absolutely. Sort of. Kind of a given. Nill refusium. That was your mind. And now, now I can't give them away.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah, you can't give receiving cum away. Exactly. Yeah, without somebody else's permission. I'm out there grinding. Well, whatever they ask you. I'm on my grind. This seems like there's none out there in this crazy, crazy world we live in. I think different things work for different people.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Grinding is great for some people. That's true. People would love to just blast a load into an AI these days. That is so true. GPT. We're the only people saying it too. Honestly, I think it's already happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Have you seen the AI heads you can put on your real dolls? Yeah. I mean, that was even before they had them. The tech was just waiting for the right kind of like language model, I think, to plug in. Because I think they've had those heads for a while now. Yeah. There's still got to be a pretty big thinking delay, right? Oh, absolutely a process it in the cloud, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Her eyes turned in a little loading spinners. Yeah. You go back in the head, like, calculate. There's 30 seconds of silence then. I would just like you to come on my tits. The fact that you are even asking me that is so brave. That's so badass. And yes, I do think we can try a facial today.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Oh, Christ. Andrew. I hate the little torsos as well. They're just the worst. Jesus. We don't have to talk about the torsos or just the arces. We don't have to talk about any of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah. Andrew, we discovered something today that we often find a past life aggression. And that's that a prominent past life of yours was touched very heavily by World War I. We identified that you spent a lot of time in a hospital for returning servicemen. Sort of if it was like a pass around, no loads refused, free use, all holes on the table, sort of communal fuck toy. For these shell shock, of course, these days we'd say they had PTSD. Now, that's interesting because that's back when men. were men.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Men were men. They went to war. Right, they went to war. And they came back from war, completely fucked up. Yeah. Ready to throw Andrew around. Like a door toy.
Starting point is 00:04:12 They called me, four and time. They called me Dunkuck. Yeah, I guess so. I guess. Yeah. Andrew, has this sort of clarified anything about how you engage with the world now,
Starting point is 00:04:24 just knowing that there was a while where you were sort of like, hey, I'll be behind that curtain. Anyone who wants to come in just sort of use me you find me, you don't have to be nice to me, just sort of... Hey, I'm going to point the lamp up this way and I'm going to hold these two bedpans and it'll create like an Austin Powers style illusion.
Starting point is 00:04:42 There's a beautiful lady behind the curtain. Just go with that. Just go with that. That's so you. That's so you, actually. That's very you. Yeah. Yeah, I think it probably explains some things, you know.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I kind of, I like to sort of feel pretty in control of my body, my environments, my surrounds, you know, and I think maybe, maybe my spirit of a past life spent long enough just kind of not just not being in control, but being very actively out of control of which loads were going where, who they were coming from. It's an interesting balance, isn't it, that desire for control, but then also knowing that you have this absolute hunger, sort of like the Terraray for GI gravy. trying out a new pronunciation on that one. I think I got it.
Starting point is 00:05:34 No, I think that's right. Yeah, I think that's perfect. Tarara? How do we say? No, it's Tarari. I've been saying Tarari this all time. Oh, you always said Tarari. So I thought it was Terrari.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah, it's Tarra. We're learning a lot today. Yeah, this is not a good podcast. It's what I'm learning. Hey, it's a great podcast. Oh, after doing the no loads refused running past lives regression intro. Oh, the podcast is bad.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. All right. Where are we going here? What now, Ben? that like what they're listening to is bad as well. They want to be told that it's good. It is. Yeah, guys.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah, it's great. This is good. This is good stuff. For Andrew to appear as a busty lady behind the sheet, he would have to use the bedpans to create a silhouette. Hold on a lot. Yeah, okay. No, we just.
Starting point is 00:06:17 All right. What? No past life for me? Oh, Lucy, you were like a bird or something. Yeah. Thanks. Right. Nobody fucked the bird, I take it.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Cleopatra. Never been a little pass-round thing. Wouldn't want to have. None of my lives. I don't want to inquire. I just don't think that's something we should talk about. I don't think ladies have past lives. That's kind of insulting.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It's in my current life, am I right? Making up for lost lives. Sorry, continue. No, it's fine. We talk about celebrities in Celebrity Watch. Just got a text message that I left my lactease at a friend's house. It's going to be a tough week, boys. It's brutal.
Starting point is 00:07:19 They knew exactly whose it was. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I kind of make it a big part of my personality. You're taking that into it. No, I didn't know you were lactose intolerant. Oh, yeah. Big time. Well, you know, we were having a bit of a cheese afternoon.
Starting point is 00:07:33 There's probably no good time to have this conversation, right? Like, after your friends for ages, like, by the way, would you still love me if I'm lactose intolerant? By the way, you know how you make me pizzas with mozzarella on them every time I come to you? I've done a risk assessment management plan. I've done a ramp for... I don't think mozzarella's real cheese either. I think it's closer to like starch. You've just got to do the risk assessment though, you're right.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Yeah, you just got to do a little ramp before you get there and be like... You've got to make a plan for later, contingency plans, you know? And I know that you don't want us to hang around for too much longer after the eating period is done because you've kind of your social battery. So I've probably got a buffer for you to get home to your house. Yeah. Yeah. Don't leave too early though, because that would make me feel like I'm sort of like...
Starting point is 00:08:18 You'd failed. Not important. Yeah. Yeah, we'd have to really thread the needle of like catering to your ability to stay active and engaged in the conversation, but without triggering your rejection-sensitive dysphoria. Yeah. You know when I go upstairs and I close the door in my bedroom to have a little bit of steam deck time? That's probably like maybe give another five, ten minutes and wrap up. We actually have a series of hand signals we've agreed upon with Caitlin where when you're flagging,
Starting point is 00:08:42 but you feel like satiated. She's doing like baseball-style hand signals at us and we're like, oh, just remembered, we have to leave. Because my batteries are actually depleted by social. activities. Whereas yours... Shut up. Yours are energized. That's not true. I consider myself something of an ambervert, which makes me the most special person in the entire world.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I find you more like an omnivir. What does that mean? You're giving it in all directions. I'm trying to. It's giving it out. Left, right and center. Sydney, Sweeney was it in Toowoomba. Do you guys see that?
Starting point is 00:09:16 You guys hear about this? She shouldn't have to know about it. Too busy thinking about Jake Gyllenhaul and Orkinflower. Well, that was fucking crazy. J.G. and Orkinflower? J.G. G. and Orchamflower, he's used, you know, you look at nightcrawler. I think that came like from a place, something deep within him, right? Like kind of, I think inside of him there is like a little goblin trying to get out, right? But Sidney Sweeney is a divine beast. She should know about Toowoomba. That's just. I'm not hitching my wagon to. I'm not hitching my wagon. I don't know. I don't know anything about her. I know two things about her. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Hey. I think Sydney, Sweden is a lot of class. Yeah. I think she is a racist. Look, I haven't been reading the gossip rags. She's racist? Maybe. It's complicated.
Starting point is 00:10:07 We don't have to get into this because that's bad. We're putting a little note on her file that says potential grand dragon, question of one. It's possibly high Lord Imperial Dragon of the multinational KKK. Hard to know. Anyone knows a substitute. Please let me know. A substitute Sydney Sweeney. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:26 A pretty blonde woman with big eyes and larger breasts. All right. See what we can find for you. Interesting. I'm not going to comment here because, you know, you guys can sound like jealous haters. Why, what are you got?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Tear another woman down. Come on. She seems like a bad person. She doesn't seem whether a good person. Yeah. Don't think I've actually watched anything that she's been in. No, I did.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I don't think. Never seen anything. Because Euphoria is about like teens, so you're going to fucking watch that. I'll watch that. I'm an adult man. That'd be insane. Like you are like even like beyond adult, I think at this point. We're not beyond adult, are we? I think we're all old as shit.
Starting point is 00:11:06 What do you mean? I think adult lasts for like the rest of your life. You enter adulthood and then you die. No. This is interesting belief. I think must have seen her in something. Oh, one spot in time in Hollywood. Saw that.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Oh, she's in that. White lotus. We don't need to go through the Sydney Sweeney catalogue. I think even outside of like the movies and TV shows and ship that she's in, she's in too, she's got too much paid sponsorship stuff going on for brands that are not good enough. And it makes me go, oh, like, and don't get me wrong. Make hay while the sun shines.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You think she should be doing like Versailles or something, right? Not Levi's or whatever. Get the bag while you got the opportunity. I totally understand. but I do think there is that element with some people where like they go, oh, I'm riding high at the moment. I got to get that bag. And they are suddenly in like ads for fucking everything in the world.
Starting point is 00:12:01 And it makes you go, I don't want to see you anymore. You are overexposed. An ad for Aldi mobile. Sydney Sweeney serves as the global spokesperson for the footwear brand. Hey dude. We hate those. We hate those. We hate those hey dudes.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Do we hate those? Yeah, we're talking about Hey dudes. I think we've talked about this before, right? Yeah, we have. They're sort of like an a... Athletia wear, loafer style shoe. Don't say that to me. The official title that she has from them is
Starting point is 00:12:32 Director of Dudes. Fucking shut up. Leads a campaign focused on confidence and embracing one's authentic self. Also, in her brand portfolio, it was American Eagle, the one that everybody said... Oh, that's the one, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Weird embraces. this one. Samsung, Ford, Baskin-Robbins, Juergens, and of course, Dr. Squatch.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Getting the word out there about reward. That's that moisturised that all those American guys with, jacking off with it. Yeah, they're jacking off with it.
Starting point is 00:13:06 They're jacking off their cut penises with working. Get that into this, right? Should you use moisturizer for that? It's very absorbent. I don't like, just buy some fucking loob, you weirdos. It's wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yeah. God damn. Or don't get circumcised in the first place. Yeah. And Theo, thank you very much for that, the Reddit post he sent through to me. Oh, yeah, of course. That's simply too tragic to read out on this podcast. It's absolutely disturbing.
Starting point is 00:13:31 But let's just say. You never use any of my posts there. Oh, but I read them and I smile. That's nice. Was Sydney, sweetie, the one where someone wrote a sort of, like, defensive post of the fact that she was in, like, an article defending the fact that she was in shitloads of ads. and stuff seemingly getting all the money she possibly could because she didn't come from
Starting point is 00:13:52 a monetary background and she needs to support her family but i think she does yeah how many how much do you need how much do you need american big celebrities are in ads in america though it's really jarring like you'll see like a movie star on a commercial we don't do that that's kind of seems like embarrassing you know ian jacquit jacquine is not doing like a door or something this is my point Lucy, this is my point, is that like there's the Super Bowl ads where they obviously like fly a shipping container full of money to someone's house. Yeah. But then outside of that, because they don't have the bank transfers. This is what we can blame. We can blame prestige TV for this because I think it used to be there were movie stars and there were TV stars and TV stars
Starting point is 00:14:38 would try to transition to film. Yeah. And then hopefully you never get a crawl out of the sewer. don't want to go back, but now it's like, oh, everybody's saying prestige TV is as good as a movie. Yeah, it's not. I don't like it. I like it separated. I like it. I'm too much. You don't know, I still want to see a movie star on TV.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah. I don't, and to your point, Lucy, I particularly don't want to see someone I think of as a movie star out there hooking Dr. Squatch to me. Yeah. You know? Yeah. No, you should be getting enough from the movies. I'm natural. Since we're complaining about ads that we've seen, can I recount.
Starting point is 00:15:13 two ads to you guys that I've seen this week. I'm going to start with the one that's celebrity-based. You guys know who Pete Holmes is? Yes. Yeah. Pete Holmes. The comedian Pete Holmes. He's the guy who fucked all the celebrities. No, I think that's Pete's.
Starting point is 00:15:28 His dad died in 9-11. Oh, no. Are you talking about the comedian? The Christian comedian, Pete. Is he a Christian comedian? I thought he just had a wholesome vibe. Yeah. I think he is a comedian who is Christian.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Yeah. and makes jokes and observations about his faith in the thing, but I would not classify him as a Christian comedian. He's a funny guy. He was on like dropout stuff, very, very fast, obviously, very talented. He was in like his TV show crashing. He's in sort of the broader world of like Comedy Bang Bang adjacent, but not frequently on Comedy Bang Bang. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Sort of like a lower tier American alternate comedian. I remember I used to listen to his podcast quite a lot way back, and he was very big. into Transcendental Meditation, which a lot of these fucking guys are, apparently. Cool. Like Joe Rogan. I got an Instagram ad this week of him
Starting point is 00:16:22 doing one of those ads where it's set up to look like a podcast where it's like him and some other guys just agreeing with each other, talking about some sort of like vitality juice of some kind, some sort of potion or whatever that makes your brain go super good.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Pete Holmes is doing this? Pete Holmes is fucking doing it. And he, I'll send you guys It's so weird that like to me doing an ad read and like no no offense to anyone like who is making living from podcasting doing ad. No offense. It's tough. Full offense. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I don't want to hear another ad in my fucking life. I'm so sick of them. Like what they're saying is not true, right? Like they're and they know that. You know, we're just swallowing it kind of thing. Well, the audience knows too. But to be doing like a mock podcast. That's the most humiliating kind of ad there is.
Starting point is 00:17:11 That's so humiliating. Yeah. it's just like what are you fucking doing Pete Holmes so that kind of bum me out a little bit but he looks very you'll see the I just posted a little screenshot for you guys there he looks very passionate for magic mine yeah and then the other ad I saw is not celebrity
Starting point is 00:17:31 related this just made me very angry because I'm you know whatever age I am now this is an ad for that's how you know you get an old yeah I could be any number basically I know it's two digits. I've narrowed it down to that much. My age, whatever it may be.
Starting point is 00:17:47 You guys know Legos? Now, I'm not talking about how Americans pluralize... Are you talking about double G Legos? Yeah, talking about double Gs. Double Gs, baby. We were already talking about those. Yeah, I know Legos. Getting that reduction.
Starting point is 00:18:03 There's a guy. He's dressed like an absolute fuck whip. He's wearing white pants, white singlet sort of, you know. Uh-huh. Yeah, okay. I see where this is going. White slippers. He's lying on a banana lounge.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He's talking on a 90s cordless phone. And he's holding up so that it can be seen by the cameraman, a jar of Legos, Catio Apepe pasta sauce. And then the caption is, viral flavors. It's how we do Italian. Yuck. What? Like viral, like viral, the viral, Catio-Apepe?
Starting point is 00:18:38 Like the mild trend. that people are kind of into Caccio-A-pepe. I think there's probably a TikTok Caccio-Ape. Okay, let's, for those playing along at home, what's in Cacua-Pete? Yeah. I think it's sort of maybe described by, yeah. Mainly the pepe.
Starting point is 00:18:58 So first up, Caccio. It's mostly pepper. It's just pepper and cheese and then you emulsify the sauce with a little bit of pasta water, and then that is your thing. It's the easiest thing you can possibly. And it's like bringing out the natural flavor.
Starting point is 00:19:12 of fresh pasta, got a bit of pepper there to, you know. I think Italians were inspired by the Midwestern buttered noodles. That's right. And then they thought, you know what? I know we're kind of breaking the recipe. What if we added a third thing? Yeah. You've already got...
Starting point is 00:19:28 Katsu was a new world food anyway, and only came over to them in the... I feel like these are two things that you should already have, probably in your house, maybe. Probably got a bit of cheese. probably in pepper. Like this is like, oh fuck, I don't have anything. Oh shit, I'll just make Kachua Pepe.
Starting point is 00:19:47 If you're buying a jar. Or maybe you've got to, maybe, you know, in this work-a-day life, you haven't got the time to make Kachio-epepe. Is this trending too? This is a trend. Gen Z loves Kachio-epe. Why is he on a banana lounge on a 90s,
Starting point is 00:20:05 cordless phone? Like, yeah, I'm having jarred Kachua-pe because I'm nature's biggest fuck with. You know how they have. I'll kill you. Man, I just, this is, how old is Legos? How long has that company been around for? It's got to be a long fucking time.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Oh my God, 1882. Oh no, you're doing. Bendigo? Memes. 140 years later. 140 years old. Of Bendigo Italian food. And here you are.
Starting point is 00:20:36 From Bendigo? From Bendigo? From Bendigo. Legos is from Bendigo? Isn't that fucked up? I'm just. Naples. This world's so fucked up.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Sicily. You don't have to do this. You don't have to do stuff. Ferenze. That's popular. Or that people like. Okay. Do things that are weird and unpopular, right?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah. Like, it's like, yeah. What happened to the good ads? I'm sick of all the bullshit. I mean, and... I'm waiting for the Super Bowl. Yeah. We've got to get Andrew Denton.
Starting point is 00:21:09 What's his name? The fuck. Who's the guy with the dog? We've got to raise that dog from the dead. Andrew Dado, his dog, they did the ad. Andrew Dado had a dog, did ads? No, so the dog wasn't in the ads. The dog and Andrew Dado would do a show where they would show you ads
Starting point is 00:21:29 and then they'd talk about how good they were. Oh, I remember that. And people would sit there and watch half an hour. A bad. Yeah, like a greatest commercials. Of, of ads. Andrew Dato ad compilation. And if you don't know Andrew Dato, well,
Starting point is 00:21:42 This is not a good episode for you. This isn't a good episode if you're under 35. Oh, hey, if you signed up to listen to a podcast ostensibly about current events and you heard 20 minutes of rambling about ads, you'd almost think you'd been scammed. So Sidney Sweeney went to Tawumba? Sydney Sweeney was in Tawomba. Yeah, she was at a Well Camp Airport in Tawomba.
Starting point is 00:22:06 They've got an airport. Shooting scenes for the Gundam movie. They're shooting a Gundam movie. to Womba? Well, partially. I don't think it's entirely set in Tawumba. Should be. Half the movie is set at the spotted cow. It's fucking, it's crazy, dude. I don't know what that means, but I'm sure it's funny. Pivotal mecca combat scene in the festival of flowers. Yeah. And some other Tawamba stuff. Uh-huh. It's going to be a, it's going to be a Netflix movie. Oh, yuck!
Starting point is 00:22:36 Gross. Not only will it be good. It's going to look even shittier. Yeah, be flat. You get none of the Tawamba flavor. That's right. In those shots. At least Jason Isaac's getting some work. I fucking love Jason Isaacs. What a hearty.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Stone, cold, fox. Highlight of that bad Star Trek season that he was in. Highlight of the Mel Gibson movie The Patriot. Yeah, he's great. He's the really mean British guy. He's a dragoon! And I was dragooning my penis. It's time for Scare watch.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Warning, warning, warning. Someone has successfully or unsuccessfully attempted a scam and must be judged. This is Scarwatch. This comes to us from KMBC. Question from grandmother stops scam in progress. Is this a scam? What are you wearing? A simple question.
Starting point is 00:23:39 potentially saved a South Kansas City woman thousands of dollars. The question, what's my wedding anniversary? Let's go, Grandma. Yes, she riddled them. Riddle me this. Pop quiz. Hot shots. Hot shots.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Accidentally, like, accidentally doing authentication questions when really she's just, you know, fully demented. She forgot. And also, what is my name? What's my middle day? but where was I bought? Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Also, where am I right now? That's the name of this place I am in. Can you guys name the anniversary date of either of your pairs of grandparents? Of literally anyone? Can you name? No. I can name my wedding anniversary.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah, I can name my... I think. Okay. Okay, what about your parents? It's a day after my birthday. Very easy to remember. No, it's not when I'm not. I got married? Why do I need to know that?
Starting point is 00:24:41 I mean, my parents was on Remembrance Day, but they've been divorced for longer than they were married now, I think. So kind of beside the point. It's also kind of more pathetic to know it because, you know, doesn't matter at all. Lose or stuff. It's completely irrelevant information, just total detritus. Yeah, just like attitude of someone who needs to pick up all of the information in the world. I must declare data. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. Catching love on your sticky, catamari ball in your brain. Terry Cox asked that to a scammer posing as her grandson on Monday. She said her grandkids never miss an anniversary for her and her husband, so she used the question when she got suspicious of the scammer. It would have been easy to respond to. It could just be like, shut up, grandma, you're gay.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That's me. Oh, it's you. That's you. I don't think Viv's fallen for a scam. I think Viv would not be able to. put her bank details into it after get scammed. Imagine Viv getting asked to put
Starting point is 00:25:43 a bank number into a text message. She's very sharp. She remembers everything. We're not laughing at her mental acuity. It's her ability to use a phone keyboard. Her knuckles are all curled over. Madam a bank account has 12
Starting point is 00:26:01 numbers. You have inputed 65 letters and numbers. Someone in your family group chat posted like a voice note, someone had to be like, Viv, press the triangle to hear the message. Yeah, and then she replies, M. It's so much like the
Starting point is 00:26:18 Queen Elizabeth articles from The Onion. It's just a stream of that. So fucking good. The scam, opposing as her grandson, started saying he was in an accident and had an attorney. Cox immediately grew wary when he called her grandma, as her grandkids call her by another name. It's going to be one of those stupid American ones.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Which that's your game will not reveal. This is Bangerang. We've just always called her Bangerang ever since I was a kid. That's right. Why are you calling your grandma shit like gang gang gang? Like, let's keep it simple. Gamgee? Hey, Gambi.
Starting point is 00:26:56 You are 48. You can't be calling your grandma Gamge anymore. Call her Lenore. That's her name. Call her by her name. Call her grandma by her name. The scammer also talked with a small accent. That's a strange choice of word.
Starting point is 00:27:17 What do you mean? Yeah. A slight accent? I know what they mean. What the fuck is a small accent? We all have accents, except for us. But like everyone around the world has an accent. Maybe they sounded like a hobbit.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, you'll send me the moment. English or Irish, depending on which hobbit it is. I mean, small. That's really funny. That's really good. That's amazing. Cox did exactly what experts say is necessary to prevent scams. Establish a question, a password or a code word.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Only your family will know. Okay. Yeah, for us, and I hope no scam is listening to this. It's Longinous. Longinous, yeah. If my grandma says, say the password, I have to go. Longinous. Longinous.
Starting point is 00:28:04 You guys very well. It's $10 for your birthday. Janette Baker, executive director of the KC. Shepard Center, used family code words growing up. Quote, not because of internet scams, because there was no internet or any of that kind of thing, she said. But just in case somebody was in the house or it was an emergency. What?
Starting point is 00:28:24 I'm not living like that. I'm not teaching my family like a, you know, if there's a guy in another room with a gun, you're doing the thing from some movie heist. everything is pristine everything is pristine the guy with a gun he's being coerced
Starting point is 00:28:42 can you bring over my sword of longinus please it's a spear it's a spear get him uh cox meanwhile wanted to warn others about her experience quote to tell other people
Starting point is 00:28:54 what they could do or to look out for she said yeah that if someone that doesn't sound like your grandson who doesn't know anything about you needs money urgently ask him a detail that no grandchild should feasibly remember about you.
Starting point is 00:29:09 No grandchild would ever know that answer. That's insane. What was the name of my primary school? You've been asking your birthday. He doesn't fucking know what that is either. Full disclosure, we should probably get it out of the way now. I was never listening. You know all the things that you said to me over these like, you know, 30 years of my life or whatever?
Starting point is 00:29:29 No idea. Didn't listen about you. Sorry. And I loved listening to the stories, but I was sort of, experiencing them as like music almost. Almost like an instrumental. Just the wonderful sound of your voice. Washing over me with no kind of semiotics whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:29:46 No meaning. Nothing. You did live a life. What that life was? No idea. Sorry. None of my business. Getting suspicious when your grandson calls you at all.
Starting point is 00:30:00 That would only be natural. We talk about the natural world in Nature Quarter. This is from This is a Nature corner While the crash Sipped my dick This is from press agency
Starting point is 00:30:32 UPI Deputy responding to animal call Finds entire escaped farm Oh Oh Did you just find a farm If the whole farm Is there
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah Then nothing's missing Maybe it's where it's meant to be Yes Maybe the day Maybe the deputy showed up and found a half-built fence away from the farm that he wasn't able to explain. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Whole thing got out. It's over there. Quick. If we worked together, we can catch it before it gets away. Maybe you just profoundly misunderstood what was being denoted by the enclosed fence that he believed it was the entire rest of the world that was the farm. The bit inside the fence was the outside world. The outside world, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Oh, boy, I got the semantics of this fence. Which is an easy mistake to make. 50, 50, 50 shot at getting that right. How are you meant to know? No, that's right. Fences aren't directional. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Farm in. The rest of the observable universe out. But the bold arrow of fence, which way does it go? We don't know. We don't know. I mean, most of the time you can tell from looking. But, you know, you shouldn't expect that everyone will just pick up on these sort of unwritten social rules.
Starting point is 00:31:47 intuitively because they're kind of arbitrary. Sometimes it's like I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me. Maybe sometimes like that. Screaming that at the farm animals, gun drawn. Screaming at a piglet. An Indiana sheriff's deputy responding to a call about an animal in a roadway arrived to find an entire escaped farm, including chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and goats. That's all pretty far.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Your classic fond. You found a movie in progress, like a PG sort of like Saturday afternoon movie for the kids type movie was happening when you got there. Spent my whole childhood training for this moment. Flashbacks to just a cow says, move. I know if I can find what I see it.
Starting point is 00:32:42 The Grant County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Corporal responded last week to a report of an animal in traffic and arrived to find the goats and various birds who escaped from a nearby farm. Deputy Corporal. His name is Deputy Corporal, but it is Corporal with a K, like German style. That's actually sick.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I think that's a sick name. Deputy Corporal. I think this guy is the antagonist in a family-friendly PG kind of Saturday afternoon movie about some animals that are trying to get free, but they're being thwarted by the bumbling evil. Deputy Corporal. Deputy Corporal.
Starting point is 00:33:15 This is a fucking major, major, major, major. major ass name. Yeah. So his rank is deputy? His rank is deputy. Okay. Which means he's got a few loadout upgrades, but not all of them yet. He's got all the custom skins for his guns.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Braden Corporal. That's right. His name is Lieutenant Corporal. Body camera footage shared on social media shows Corporal hurting all the animals back into a gated area. I see, I definitely think he's got this backwards. He's taken them into the outside world, for sure. pushing all out onto the highway.
Starting point is 00:33:49 There you are. You're safe now. You're back in. Congratulations. It was horrible in the out. It's so small in there, out there. Quote, thankfully, no animals were harmed and everything ended the way we like to see it. Safely and without incident, the post said.
Starting point is 00:34:06 All of the animals were rounded up and put back where they belonged. I don't know who gets to make that determination. It needs to make that determination about where a goat belongs. Where does a goose go on? Where does a goose go on? Where does a goose belong? Where does a turkey belong? Where does man belong?
Starting point is 00:34:20 Goat belongs on the side of a mountain. Correct. Maybe. This is another nature story. This is from WNCT in North Carolina. Eastern North Carolina horse vies for oldest living horse record. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:34 You know how they figure out the age, don't you? How they vine. Put them in the machine from cells. Split them into pieces, count the rings. I don't think you can vie for this. No. It's passive. You're waiting for another horse to die.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Yeah, I also, I don't appreciate any story that seeks to tell me what is in the heart of an animal. Seeks to tell me it's aspirations. I don't think they're looking for the same things out of life. Especially horses. A horse named Mighty Star in Beaufort County is celebrating her birthday this weekend. Is she running for a Guinness World Record for the oldest living horse? She's celebrating her birthday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Probably going to eat some hay, eat some apples, probably go for a trot at some point maybe. Yeah, get scared by a bee. Yeah. Fucking idiot. You've seen those videos of them just kind of baping a horse about the face with a pool noodle over and over so that it won't kind of see a thing and then get scared and kill everyone involved.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful animals. Beautiful animals. Yeah. The horse's owner, Ava Paul, is hoping to set a new record with Mighty Star's birthday celebration. Okay, so it's all for you.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Of course it is. Yeah. Who knows what a horse can appreciate? I don't know. I don't think they can appreciate anything. You can never know the mind of another, really. But especially a horse. I can know the mind of a horse.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I can know the mind of a horse. It's not that hard. Quote, from the first time I saw her, I thought she's the most gorgeous thing ever, said Ava Paul. Star was born on May 2nd, 1986. making Saturday the Appaloosa horse's 40th birthday. And although she's an older lady, she's still as feisty as ever. That is an old horse, actually.
Starting point is 00:36:23 I'm actually surprised. I don't know how old I expected a horse to be, but I didn't think the horse would be older than me, you know? Yeah. I think this horse longs for death. Yeah. The thing with like animal lifespans is it seems like an absolute fucking crapshoot. You will look at somewhere, you'd be like, well, you're huge,
Starting point is 00:36:39 so you obviously live to be 100. It'll be like, they live for seven years. You're like, okay. Big things live are not that long of a time. Greenland. Little things. Four hundred years, whatever. And then little things don't live at all.
Starting point is 00:36:52 They've got like 12 hours. And then there's fish that live for like 150 years. And that is so fucked. Like the thought of a 150 year old groper down there is like disgusting to me. Just like knowing but nothing. Yeah. Remembering nothing. Doing nothing. Doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Knowing nothing. I was like of all the fish, groper are like probably the most. easy to what's the word I'm looking for trick that's right their card tricks work very well
Starting point is 00:37:21 they're not very smart no they're very to anthrablephers because they're quite playful they're very playful they come up to people and like go for belly scratches they're the dogs of the sea they're big into play they don't call it that
Starting point is 00:37:35 that's what all my Instagram is right now it's groper videos that are like gropers when the task requires zero gropers and they're just like bothering bothering She's great. Quote, She's a little bit of a legend around here, said Paul.
Starting point is 00:37:49 The people that remember her from the trail rides remember to stay out of her way because she would kick and there's nothing you could stop. There's nothing you could stop her from doing it. Yeah. Good point. Disagree. Gun.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Big gun. Yep. A 40-year-old horse is 105 years old in human years and they're submitting her to the Guinness World Records oldest living horse. Okay, but the oldest living humans are older than that. So I think the year system's wrong. There's no like set human year to horse year ratio thing.
Starting point is 00:38:23 It's like the human to dog year thing is just bullshit. That's not, you can't just say that. That doesn't mean anything. What is it charged of that, by the way? Is it just calculated in terms of like what's the average human lifespan divided by what they are leveraged lifespanings? Or does it have any like real meaning in terms of like? No, that's it.
Starting point is 00:38:42 So when the horse gets dementia versus when we start getting dementia? Yeah. Yeah, horses start straight away. They're born there. Really anti-horse sentiment today. I really like I'm quite aggressive. I love riding a horse. They're too big.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I find them very uncertainly. Yeah, they're very scary. I'm just saying this because I'm scared of them is all. Yeah. That's fair. Right now the record stands with a 37-half-year-old horse. Okay, so she's like number one with a bullet. then?
Starting point is 00:39:13 I mean, the record doesn't stand then because she's older, I guess, but then they have to prove it. They got to prove it. They got to verify. You think they get us... Book of records is just giving shit out willy-nilly?
Starting point is 00:39:26 Yes. But when you pay them? Absolutely. Yeah, you got to pay them. 100%. Quote, you have to prove and send in paperwork for any veterinarian registration papers,
Starting point is 00:39:36 pictures, any information, witnesses to let them know that she's the real deal. $10,000. And the secret to a wonderful long life, quote, taking away the stress, feeding them properly, making sure they get the right veterinarian, no checkups, and hoof care is healthy for her age, said Paul.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Now they'll submit Starr's information to the Guinness World Records to see if she qualifies as the oldest horse. I mean, either she does or they're calling you a fucking liar. Yeah. Are you a fucking liar? Are you a fucking liar? looking to your heart. Because you know.
Starting point is 00:40:12 You'd know. Like, you'd know if you were lying. Or would you? Human brain is very capable of tricking itself. Very elastic. Yeah, very malleable. Hey, if you bought a horse in the 80s, then 40 years later, you still had that same horse.
Starting point is 00:40:26 It'd feel pretty lucky. We talk about lucky people in Mr. Lucky Duck. He's Mr. Lucky Duck. That's coming to us from CNN. Man survives rare internal decapitation while clearing fallen trees at work. Internal decapitation. You know you learn a new term and then... I'm surprised that this is new to 50% of this podcast.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Oh. What does that mean? Well, you've popped it off, but it's on the inside. But there's skins, yeah. You've basically like separated your spine. You know when you sharpen a pencil and the bit on the inside is already broken? Yeah. Yes, that's a really good explanation for this, actually.
Starting point is 00:41:12 That's tremendous. I just worked it out straight away. Did he swallow a guillotine? What are we? Yeah, Lucy. That's exactly what happens. Swallowed a guillotine. He tripped over at a museum of the French Revolution.
Starting point is 00:41:25 And he swallowed a guillotine, the one that killed Robespierre. Quick, somebody helped this man. He's choking on Robespier's guillotine. No, not the one. used, the one that was used on him. I can see how that would be useless. I can see how that's confusing. A routine
Starting point is 00:41:46 day cleaning debris at an Ohio state park into a life-threatening ordeal for a 32-year-old maintenance worker. It was an accident so severe that doctors say many victims don't survive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Head stay on, generally, is what you want. I mean, staying on from the hot dog rapper. Yeah. Yeah, it's like if you had a hot dog and the skin stayed intact, but the snap happened internally. Yeah. Fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:42:15 A meat snap that was not belied by the skin. Philip Pole, 32, was clearing fallen trees from the roadway at Hocking Hills State Park in March when his foot got stuck on the gas pedal of a front loader, forcing a tree branch into his neck. Yeah, that's no good. As responders rushed to help, the branch estimated at six to eight inches in die. diameter was forcing his skull away from his spine, causing internal decapitation. Yeah, with a long enough lever and enough whatever, you can whatever, whatever, that's right, nearly popped it off. Yeah, just sort of like, just sort of levering it up.
Starting point is 00:42:56 It's like levering it? It's like leavering it? Okay. Like an old-fashioned Coca-Cola. Tracked in the machine, Paul says his thoughts turned to his two young children. I wonder if I could pop their heads off. This is actually quite beautiful. Quote, I started thinking of my children because it was really nice being a dad. I just thought how much I was going to miss them, miss my babies, he said.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Oh, man. Isn't that the most fucking beautiful thing that his last thought was just like, I'm not going to get to know them because my head is being levered off my body. Yeah. Because I have a shitty job cleaning up debris. I'm dying in a way that's going to like teach a whole bunch of people about this way to die. Not wearing folks on a front loader. I probably wouldn't be thinking about that.
Starting point is 00:43:41 I'd just be thinking, owie. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Ouch. Head come off. You know when you cut yourself with a knife and there's like that, that like two seconds later when you're like, fuck. This is like a delayed reaction.
Starting point is 00:43:58 But maybe if I just cover it up and don't look at it, everything's got to be fine. Why does that happen? Your brain just doesn't notice for a minute. Or like your brain notices and you're like, that's going to hurt real bad. Yeah. But if it's not your brain,
Starting point is 00:44:11 got it, okay. State natural resource officers were able to stabilize pole's neck with a brace while other crews cut away the tree with a chainsaw. Fuck, man. Like it was easier to cut the tree away
Starting point is 00:44:25 than it was to back up the front loader. Yeah. I guess. Well, his foot's stuck. I don't know. And the whole time they're going like, hey man, we're going to get,
Starting point is 00:44:35 like you're going to get through this probably. I don't know how fatal that is to get decapitated on the inside. This is the first time I've heard about this. Sounds bad. I'm Googling it right now. Yeah, not good. Head off bad question mark?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Head off on inside. No, no, no, not all the way, just on the inside. Partial head off interior? Hey, I'm glad you came to me with that question. What would you like to do? An ambulance was 20 minutes away and a medical helicopter was grounded due to the weather. A poll made it to Grant Medical Center in Columbus where surgeons used plates, screws and rods to stabilize his skull to his spine.
Starting point is 00:45:22 But doctors still feared he wouldn't survive or ever walk again. About 50% of the patients with this kind of surgery, with this kind of injury die at the scene. So of the other 50% who make it to the hospital, a significant amount of those are paralyzed, neurosurgeon Dr. Victor Awar said. Paul said if he'd been working by himself that day, he'd probably be dead. Instead, less than a month after the accident, he is once again walking unassisted. It's a recovery, his doctor's call, extraordinary. Straight towards debris.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah, got to go clean up some more debris. Get, getting back to what I love. Debris cleaning. The poll now hopes to return to work and is sharing a special message after coming so close to dying. quote love deeply and have a grace with people be patient be kind tomorrow is not guaranteed this guy rules i think god was shining upon him on that day yeah Jesus Christ he's one of god's favorites good thoughts and deeds yeah i don't know i reckon god fuck that one up he was like this is going to teach you to be grateful for your family and then his thoughts were
Starting point is 00:46:24 of gratitude for his family he was like oh fuck wrong guy fuck fuck fuck he actually loves his family oh he already knew this one oh shit oh shit he was a He got Jobes. He got Job and came out on top. Yes. Wrong Job. You picked the wrong Job, buddy. Wrong Job.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I love my wife. This guy's last name. Pole. In the world we find an opposite of Poles. That is, of course, the hole. We talk about holes in the Whole Report. I actually really love this hole. I think it's a unique hole and I think it's difficult.
Starting point is 00:47:05 It is going with. roller. Ah, the old theme. The old thing. A pole is kind of the opposite of a hole, isn't it? Right. Because it's like, it's circular, solid, rather than circular with empty.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Yeah, I'm tired of thinking of a hole being the opposite of like not a hole. That's fine. Of the absence of a hole. Yeah. The opposite of a hole is not absence of a pole. If you took a relief of a pole, you would get pulled out of a hole. It's that simple. and I'm sick of people saying otherwise.
Starting point is 00:47:40 It's the whole poll correspondence. Sick of people saying they're kind of different. They're the same. They're the same but opposite. Ever notice that sometimes things contain the anti-thing? They contain their own opposite? That's crazy. I haven't been noticing that, but I'll look out for it.
Starting point is 00:48:01 I'm not seeing if you're noticing the multitudes that things contain. Yeah. I don't. Not me. Okay. This is from the CBC Winnipeg woman in good spirits after bizarre plunge into boulevard hole
Starting point is 00:48:13 Oh Okay Christine Keelback went out to a movie on Saturday But the real drama happened after When she got home You could say the evening went in a Hole new direction I'm not fucking saying that
Starting point is 00:48:30 Down I think that new direction was down Really do you fall up into a hole Really? It's possible, but right? Yeah. Where are all the upholes? Yes. It's another thing no one is talking about for some reason. Where are the upholes?
Starting point is 00:48:47 Downspace upholes. Cave in the side of a mountain, you know? That's an uphole. Yes. No, that's a side hole. Side hole's very frequent, but you walk through them, you don't fall through them. We'd find upholes diving underwater, I think. Underwater divers go on the upholes. I was thinking of a hole.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I was thinking of my, like, the way to get into my roof. That's probably an uphole. That's an uphole. Yeah, there are actually lots of upholes. Kielback's friends, Linda and Jeff Regan, pulled up around 9 p.m. to drop her off at her house on Lifton Street in Winnipeg's Walsley area. She got out of the passenger side, took a couple of steps, quote, and they said I was gone, Kilback told CBC News Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:49:27 They just stopped looking for her. She just disappeared. Well, drove off. That was the end of her. The Regans. still inside the vehicle couldn't see Keelback anymore. They thought she tripped and fell. Quote, when they came around, it was quite surprising
Starting point is 00:49:41 to find my head and shoulders just above the ground. The ground had just given away very fast. I have no recollection of the fall. It happened very quickly, Keelback said. A new hole. Sometimes the earth just swallows people up. Yeah. Eerie.
Starting point is 00:49:55 We've definitely had a story like this where the woman died. She fell down a hole. Or the kid that like went in, was he skiing? I don't know. It went into that tiny hole in the store. No. Oh, yeah. Which everyone, all the Facebook comments I saw about that were like,
Starting point is 00:50:10 this kid definitely faked what happened to him. He definitely just climbed into the pipe. Yeah, we just see the best in people, I think we said that too. Yeah. Because the pipe was smaller than like a foot wide. It was a tidy pipe. It was a little pipe. It was a little pipe.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Jeff immediately ran to find something for keel back to hang on to. He returned with a broom and a shovel that could span the gap and give her a brace to hook her arms around. Smart. That's good thinking. That's really smart. Yeah. This guy knows his.
Starting point is 00:50:33 He's got his whole procedures down. Yeah. Oh, this guy has seen a hole before. Big time hole guy. Not his first hole, yeah. Kielback tried to boost herself out, but every foothole immediately crumbled away. She's scrambling. You don't, when you're in a hole, you don't scramble.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Be calm. You have to be calm. You have to be calm. Don't scramble. Be calm. It's a quicksand rules. Yeah, it's like quicksand. Well, quick sand is sort of just like a slow hole.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Quick sand, but slow hole. Mm-hmm. Quick sand. Slow hole. Slow hole. That's very true. Quick sand, slow hole. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Work sucks. I know. Quote, so at that point we said, okay, we got to call 911 because I don't want any further erosion of the dirt beneath me, she said. Yeah. Her rescue was for the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service arrived within 10 minutes. Quote, they were so professional and they were so reassuring and kind, and I felt immediately like everything was under control, Kilback said, routinely laughing at the absurdity of the incident. That's actually beautiful. Like, she's just like, this is funny.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Look at me. She felt held the entire time as well. like held by the earth in the sense that she'd falled into a hole, but also that she was being looked after. She's being looked after and she was and it's funny. You've got to realize that it's funny just seeing like your arms and your head popping out of the ground. That's funny. Oh, someone steps out of your car
Starting point is 00:51:49 and they're literally fucking God. And then you're like, what there? And she's like, yep, I'm in a hole. So this happened. You're probably wondering how I got here. I think to some people being like held and squeezed by the earth might actually be quite calming. Yeah, maybe quite firm pressure, perhaps.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Quite firm pressure. Like a sensory thing, I guess. Most people report being buried alive as being very relaxing. Very relaxing. It's got to feel like a weighted blanket for at least a little bit of it. I think there is a bit of a selection bias in that the ones that report are the ones that survived. It's the red dots on the plane.
Starting point is 00:52:23 It's the red dots on the plane, finally. Now that I'm out of the hole, I feel pretty good. Yeah. I'm feeling pretty whole forward, actually. now that I think of it. She wasn't hurt or scared, but more, quote, mildly amused, she said. That's how you've got to fucking face the world, right? It's a lady's a joker, I think.
Starting point is 00:52:46 We're given such a short time on this earth. Nothing makes sense. Nothing's promised to us. You kind of have to look at everything that happens, receive it with simplicity, and say, oh, man, what a crazy trip. What a crazy trip. Crazy ride. Rates of Camus.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Lop about it. We're all on. We're all on. Some Camus, yeah. Yeah. Get out of there. Go back in your house. Le Stranger.
Starting point is 00:53:10 It's giving Camus. Le Plague. And the rest. And the rest. This is such a smart. Go inside and text to your group chat. Fell in hole, lull. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:23 You know? It was really La Plague. Yeah. Can I ask you, I don't want to be insensitive about this. But like, was it giving Camu in the hole? if you can see the pictures i mean i was laughing if i'd hurt my ankle or hurt my leg or something happened i'm sure it would have been a little more shocking than it was uh but she was also very lucky keelback didn't realize until the firefighters removed it that a jagged piece of metal
Starting point is 00:53:51 was sticking out of the soil behind her you never know when it's going to come we won't know the hour or the minute or whatever the fuck you know maybe the jagged little bit of metal you maybe it doesn't. That's why go see a movie. Go see a silly movie. Go see a film. Take the day off work. Get a popcorn.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Get a glass of wine. Get a glass of wine. It's two glass. It doesn't matter. Triple poor. Double feature. Triple poor. Epic.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Double feature. Go crazy. Cheap. Death is coming for you. Chiraz. Always is. Quote, there was also an old pipe in front of me about the level of my abdomen. So I could have hit that on the way down, she said.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah, you could have gone into the freaking Mario world. That's right. You freaking waited the whole pipe. This is reminding me of, you know, when they, you know when they rebooted Tomb Raider, they made it all gritty and stuff. Which time? The first time on like Xbox 360 or something. Oh, I thought you were talking about the movies.
Starting point is 00:54:59 No, no, no, the games. They rebooted and made it gritty. and there's part like a third of the way through where you're like sliding down this like wet concrete thing. I don't know what it is and there's just pipes and stuff coming at you. And it's actually quite difficult to do. So I died like 40 times on this and every single time she's just copping a pipe like through her head. Just like one in one out kind of thing. I sort of reminded me of that.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But she escaped it. She must be better at Tomb Raider or whatever. All right. You can just cut that story probably. one in one out one in one out one in one out like one pipe in one pipe in one pipe out one one pipe out yeah well she's not going to invent a new one city spokesperson told cbc news on monday the rescuers were from the winnipeg fire paramedic services technical rescue task force now see i'd like to note here that while i am definitely in praise of their technical ability it almost
Starting point is 00:55:58 it seems like their emotional ability is also quite good also quite good yes definitely We forget. It's like 90% of the training. Yeah. You know, it's like 90% technique. But that 10% that's emotion is actually 90% of what's needed. And it's pure technique as well from what they try. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:23 They slung some strapping under Kilback's arms to support her before taking a few minutes to consider the best approach to get her out. Also smart. Slow is smooth and smooth as fast. That's so true. Every bit of this has just gone perfectly. You know, you couldn't ask for a better silly accident to happen to you. Couldn't ask for a better whole experience.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah. In her interview, Kielback repeatedly praised the crew saying they included her in the discussions every step of the way. This is like a textbook, not just for like whole recovery, but for like life. Just for life. Communicating. Communication. Yeah. They're communicating their needs.
Starting point is 00:57:03 She's communicating her needs. It's like, hey, I need to get out of this hole. I need to get out at some point because I've got to get up early tomorrow morning. Yeah. I'm not as much fun as it is. I'm hearing that you want to exit the hole. Is that right? Am I right in saying that?
Starting point is 00:57:17 Yeah. That's understandable. Just communicating between her and the team in I feel statements. I feel like I would like to get out of the hole. We feel like we would like to get you out of the hole. Are you looking for a solution or just more of a validation of that? So important. I recognize that you're stuck in the hole. We've all been to therapy.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Ultimately, they decided to put up a frame and winch to lift her. Kilback was given a harness and coached on how to put it on. What if that felt a little sexy? I bet it did. You know, in a harness? It's all black leather. There's rings in it. Quote, because there's no way they can.
Starting point is 00:58:04 could get in to do it, she said. So she had to learn to fit her own harness. Hey, in an emergency, put your own harness on first. Put your own harness on first. Getting the straps under her legs meant she had to dip her face below ground level, which was a little disconcerting, she said. I'd love to see this hole.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Yeah. It's a pretty textbook-looking hole as far as holes go. I've actually never seen one before. Not in real life anyway. imagine she puts the head down there you go to see all the skeletons yeah that's the part where you have you're like yeah
Starting point is 00:58:42 but hey those were the people that didn't have the support that didn't make it out but you're a fighter too yes what's the difference between you and them it's the emotional support of the local firefighters
Starting point is 00:58:55 yes also you didn't get skewered on the pole yeah or the jagged bit of metal uh quite but I knew that it If they had to pull me out by just the waist, that would create an injury. So I was pretty motivated to get the leg straps on. She was raised until she could find a firm foot hold and climb the remaining way. Very sensible thing at this lady.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Under pressure? Yeah. It was about 40 minutes from the time she dropped into the hole until she was back on solid ground. That's not bad. It's a great time. It's a great time. It's not bad at all. I reckon if you could tell me you'd get me out after 40 minutes, I'd give it 40 minutes whole time.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Just to be like, can I just enjoy my time here? Can I just, yeah. I'm just a little more. I'm just, I'm still in whole time. Haven't calmed my nervous system yet. Just like a little more time here. And if you can give me some noise canceling headphones. You have no idea how like how much my mental health at the moment is just like,
Starting point is 00:59:52 oh, I realize I didn't have any headphones on today. And that's sent me crazy. Yeah. You got the ones with the cat ears on them or no? Light up. Well, light up cat ears, maybe. Don't give them any more amnition. Killback called it a sinkhole, but a city spokesperson in an email said it appears to be a catch basin missing the manhole cover, but the investigation is ongoing.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I think let her call it a sinkhole. Yeah. It's her lived experience from being in the hole now. That is her hole now. Yeah. They're going to call it what she is. You say you know this hole as well as she does? She's lived it.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Oh, have you been in the hole? You've literally never been in the hole. You've never been in the hall. I would also say to the people of the local town government, which one of you two is going to be telling this story for longer? Yeah. Let her craft the truth of the story. I saw a lady in a hole.
Starting point is 01:00:49 No one's ever going to ask you about this hole again. You are not getting a freedom of information request four years from now. Hey, was that technically a sinkhole? But everywhere she goes, her friends are going to be like, tell them about the hole. Oh, it's the whole lady. Whole lady's here. Oh shit, that's a fucking, the movie's called the whole story. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Or the ladies' hole. It's probably not. Probably not that one. Probably not that one, I don't think. Let's see how many movies are already called the whole story. Well, with the 40-minute turnaround, with the 40-minute turnaround, they can do it like in a... Pit style, 24-style. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:30 They can just do it minute for minute, you know. It's a short movie. It's a short movie. You're going to have to do the whole thing in slowbo. Or maybe they do multiple viewpoints or something. Oh, the start of the movie is. Oh, different characters. Cut in between the paramedic or cut into her, you know, that'd be great.
Starting point is 01:01:48 The start of the movie is the last 40 minutes of the movie that she was seeing. Oh, the last 40 minutes of the Christophers? I've heard it's very good. Last 40 minutes of a revival screening of heat, you know? A city spokesperson later said crews also checked the opposite side of the road where a second catch basin would have been located and identified a similar condition. They are securing both areas so they're safe until repairs are done.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Imagine she fell in that second hole. Got out on the other side of the road. There's no parks on our usual side to go to the cinema. Try the other side. Rehold. Far from fuming about her experience, Kilback is actually grateful for the opportunity to see the amazing work of the WF.
Starting point is 01:02:33 FPS crew close up. God, what a positive attitude to the world. This lady rules. This would put me off holes forever, potentially. I would be very upset about this. If I was forced to choose between this lady and the guy in the previous story,
Starting point is 01:02:49 his was very touching, but there's something about her attitude that I find more compelling. She's got a lot more humor about her. I like that. He didn't crack any jokes about having his kind of a big bummer of it. Which I think is inherently kind of a funny thing to happen.
Starting point is 01:03:03 With time. With time, it's got to be funny. It's got to be a bit funny. Nearly had my head popped off. A lot of jokes about having your head screwed on not right and stuff. Yeah. If I had the choice, I'm probably taking, falling into a hole that I can still see out of over being a turn. And head stays on as well, very importantly.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Head stays on. Spine attached. Yeah. It's that segment from Big Soft Heddy. I think head stays on. Quote, it was a bizarre but very good experience in that I was well cared for, but I'd rather not fall into a sinkhole again, she said. Yeah, that's been given the choice. Technically, you never fell into a sinkhole.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Yeah, you might like it. Quote, it's cold down there, I got to tell you. That's her one complaint so far. Cold hole? Her first complaint is that the hole is chilly. that's it. She's not even interesting information.
Starting point is 01:04:08 She's just mentioned just factual. It doesn't mean anything. Kielback jokes she hopes people don't think they're going to start falling through their boulevards now but she's glad it wasn't a child
Starting point is 01:04:18 or an animal that found the one she fell in. Everyone said a fucking positive today. Yeah, that she knows of. Like, I think if a recoup had fallen in there, she wouldn't have learned, like we wouldn't have heard about it. I mean, she didn't see the skeletons.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Like, she didn't look down and see the skeletons. She didn't do an inventory of the whole skeletons. Yes. Oh, yeah. Raccoon. Quote, I was still above the ground when I fell into it. Maybe somebody else wouldn't have been.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Like someone sure? Yeah, well, yeah, I guess so, yeah. No, you're right. When I fell in. Yeah, she, like her head remained above ground. You're right. I was being uncharitable to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Because she was pretty substantially below ground when she fell in because she fell in. Yeah. It was the falling in what did it. that made her be in the hole, yeah. This was definitely an episode of the podcast, Bonta Vista. Thank you so, so much for joining us. If you want another one of these, you can get another one of them at patreon.com slash buddivista.
Starting point is 01:05:19 And then about 449 other ones as well. You get all of them. There's a lot of them. And you want to listen to maybe a third of them. Possibly. Yeah. No more than that. Just work away from like later.
Starting point is 01:05:34 first until you stop liking them. And then you're not compelled to finish it. There's, you know, Ubisoft games and all this sort of stuff these days where they're like, you've got to finish everything, you've got to see everything, got to watch this TV show and then all the spinoffs. You don't.
Starting point is 01:05:49 You don't have to listen like 200 episodes back and if you're not having a good time, well, that's still 200 hours you spent with us. Yes. And you gave us some money, most importantly. So everybody wins, basically. You don't have to watch every Star Wars TV show that comes out.
Starting point is 01:06:05 There's literally you don't have to 100%. In fact, if you're me, you don't have to watch any of them ever. I know enough about Darth Mall. I don't need to know more about Darth Mall. I don't care to know more about Darth Mall. What a good look though. They really know. And for the time too.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Really kind of in the zeitgeist, I think, looking like Darth Mall. Yeah. It's very new metal, yeah. I mean, can you, like, you know one, if you're under the age of 30, you can't imagine how sick it was to be 10 years old. and to see Darth Mall for the first time, cow back, double-ended lightsaber? Double-ended lightsaber?
Starting point is 01:06:42 Oh, shit. Holy shit. The game will never be the same again, even though this is a prequel. Yeah, I think that's about it. We'll talk to you next week. Bye. Bye, bye, bye.
