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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Weird embraces.
this one.
Samsung,
Ford,
Baskin-Robbins,
Juergens,
and of course,
Dr. Squatch.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
UPI
Deputy responding to animal call
Finds entire escaped farm
Oh
Oh
Did you just find a farm
If the whole farm
Is there
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
Quick sand, but slow hole.
Mm-hmm.
Quick sand.
Slow hole.
Slow hole.
That's very true.
Quick sand, slow hole.
Yeah.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
