Penis. My penis. My penis. It's redlining. My penis. Welcome to Bupta Vista. It's episode 445, and I am Andrew, the vizier to the king. I believe that word comes from the word advisor. They just clipped it.

They clipped it a little. I'm here in the court of the king, and the king wearing his crown emblazoned with the word sleep for some reason. regally upon his throne and I can kind of see his nuts up the legs of his shorts but I've wisely chosen to keep my own counsel about this. My liege, it's Ben. Hark. Yes, perfect. So kingly.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing that a king says, right? I reckon if I'd be hanging dong all the time. I'm just going to get that out of the way. No one could stop the king from hanging dong. No. You would be fully nude at all times? Not fully nude, no. No. Absolutely not. Hanging up shorts?

Some sort of freak? Would you derive some sort of pleasure from everyone seeing your penis? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, when you say it like that. I think about it's actually very positive. Ben, it's not about them being able to see my penis. It's about them being able to not see my penis, even if they didn't want to. Yeah, that's right.

It's more normal than what you said. Oh, boy. Anyone looking me directly in the eye, she'll be a kilt. My dick is down here. You guys have a wonder if people have been able to see your balls a lot, they've just not told you? Like just from sort of the way that you dress and the way that you sit sometimes.

No, I wear underpants. Yeah. Remember the really tight skinny jeans period of the 2000s? Yeah. You could see some outlines in those things, though. And I was not wearing underpants for a stretch at that time. Oh, in jeans? I was just going out and putting it on everyone.

Skinny jeans, quite. I cannot. Painted on. Painted on. Could not be doing that. You guys remember having to buy skinny jeans from the women's section at Just Jeans? Tell me about it, my leash.

Crazy. Kids these days wouldn't get it. Their pants are too big. My liege, speak on that. Talk your shit, my leash. And here is my queen wearing a Wonder Years t-shirt over her corset, holding her sceptre that she keeps threatening to bonk everyone with. It's Lucy.

Ah, don't, uh, don't bong me like that. I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you. This is all I do all day, by the way. Three quarters of the people in the court have a big bandage on the top of their head. Everyone just kind of stays away from me. Six foot radius around the queen at all times. And then I'm like, oh, nobody likes me.

Why doesn't everyone like me? Stam. I'm sorry, our queen is very reactive. You just kind of have to. Asking my whisperer, why doesn't anyone like me? Have you heard anything? Hey, whispers. You're like, come closer.

I can't hear you. Ah, finally, here comes the king's jester. Nipple rings audibly clanking, covered in lube and feathers. He's here to do a tight five on the king's bad investments in his poor sexual relationship with the. Queen. It's Theo. Get him, Lucy. I like this guy. I like this guy.

Oh, don't hit me. Let him come three feet away from me. My liege, those balls are smaller than, I think, the land you pulled away with from your last dealings with France. This is good stuff. That's the sort of gesture. type. Yeah. Classic stuff, yeah.

Yeah. You've got to tug my nipples about it. The jester was the only one who could say, Hey, King, I can see your balls. Yeah. Yeah, the jester can kind of

see through the bullshit. He kind of says what we're all thinking. Kind of most important job there is, actually. More important than doctors or journalists. Yep. We don't have any of those. Yeah. Sometimes they change the fate of the world, I think.

Sometimes they're woven into the fate of the world. Yeah. Only sometimes. Not for all of those. them. Every great historical change, probably from a comedian or a jester or a podcaster or someone who's just willing to look at things in a crazy way. Behind every successful king, there stands a BDSM jester. Crawling around wetly on the floor like Voldo. Nipple rings clanking. I was thinking about the, I have my balls been visible for the last decade and I didn't know

thing because I was thinking about our last and the one before that Brisbane live show where once I saw footage of it I realized it was unbelievably precarious how close testicle was to the lower hem of the short and given the fact that the audience was seated and we were on a stage higher than them elevated you had kind of set it up to be perfectly eye level with your your balls right yeah yes This is something that I do for Theo to make sure no one is looking at him so that he feels safe and then he does something freakish

like gets his feet out or whatever the fuck now the reason I was thinking about those Brisbane live shows is because we're doing another one isn't that fun? Yeah, are we? The show's so nice we're doing it thrice. That's really, I should put that on the poster. That's nice.

Yeah, well June 13th, Saturday we're going to be back at our favourite place in Brisbane, the Brisbane Polish Club, they seemed absolutely delighted to have us back, despite some of the things we said on stage, the behaviour of us, the behaviour of the people that were there, the insane quantities of beer that we drank last time.

I think that's why they want us back, I think, is because the insane quantities of, like, imported beer. Yeah, yes. They seemed rapturous, genuinely, which I'm very excited about. Yeah, I can't wait. It's going to be, yeah, June 13th, Saturday, Prison Polls Club. You'll be able to get tickets at Buntavista.com slash live once we do the URL redirect.

I'll do that now. Yeah, well, not right now. You'd do that. You can do it after the podcast. This guy's always so distracted. I'm hitting the public. Oh, shut the fuck up. Don, you dare.

Oh, I forgot to put a thing in the intro about putting down his steam deck. Here comes the gesture. There's so much loob on that thing. picking it up is slipping out of your hands. It's not a real challenge. I was thinking we can make the stage higher this time so that they're seeing shaft instead of balls. Oh, that'd be nice.

That's nice, yeah. Not all the shaft. It's just going to be like a, it's almost like a pseudo-anonymous, like one or two inches of the side of it. You don't know how far up or down it is. So it's really kind of bit abstract. And the balls are covered? Like how are you seeing one but not the other?

I'm just seeing that angle, the angle upwards, right? So you think about the angle of the angle. if you're lowered down, they're going to be seeing up there to the balls. But if you're higher up, the angles such that they're going to be seeing the side of the zone. I was thinking we kind of achieve that by having it come out the bottom of one short leg and then go back up into the other one. So you're only getting a sort of part of the extreme bend in the middle.

Just like a little bend there. It's a very long bend. I'd like it if we built the stage high enough that we were having like a sort of seventh and a half floor from being John Mellon. Malkovich kind of situation up there. We all had to be kind of hunched over. And as soon as we were like a step back from the audience that couldn't see us at all, you know, great stuff. I don't know.

People at the back have the best tickets for what. What if we drank kind of like an elixir of growing and we were all big? Oh. I think that'd be good. I don't drink. So you guys can. Okay. You guys can all be big.

I think it's alcoholic. I don't think. I think it's a alcoholic. It's suspended in ethanol. It's mainly about the growing. Yeah. You guys are going to be so big when you drink that. Can you pick me up and put me on my chair?

Oh, inviting you to a live show and then involving you in our weird fetish stuff. I guess that is kind of like a prank. We talk about pranks in The Prank Report. Prank chair. This comes to us from KSNT in Topeka, Kansas. Cheezing social media trend leads to teens arrest in Topeka. execution. She has heard about cheesing?

I've not heard of cheesing. I've not heard of cheese. Yeah. Yeah, that's when people say cheese and I don't smile because I don't know how to smile. They're like, no, no, come on, smile. Yeah. Go on smile. Like, do, and I do a smile and they're like, no, a real smile.

Yeah. What's that about? What's that about? What do you mean a real smile? What do you mean a real smile? What do you mean a real smile? I'm trying my fucking best. Capture me in the moment or don't capture me at all, fuckhead.

Yeah. Tell me a spontaneous joke. Make me laugh. It subverts my expectations. And I'll smile for you. Make me feel loved and like beautifully in the moment. And maybe I'll fucking smile. And take a picture of me before and after.

I remember that shit. Except for you, it's just two blank faces. Dead eyes. Second one, you're frowning. Autistic people before and after being called beautiful. Tell me a racist joke. The camera doesn't keep track of what the joke was about. Just the laughter.

You know? Oh, actually. goes in the meta tags now. Oh, that's interesting. It's got the GPS coordinates and whether or not the joke was racist. Racist smile. Okay. Forgot to take that one off when I uploaded it.

Opening Google photos and there's a montage with a jaunty song. Racist smiles. I love how shit the like Google's like, hey, here's a slideshow of all your photos. knows. Here is the music that someone making their first Kickstarter would use as like the backing track for it. And like they put on these really ugly filters as well or like they offer them up sometimes like hey, why don't you make this one artie and it just looks like dog shit? It's such a low. Sometimes they take a picture of one of my my beautiful children like as a toddler and then they put them into like a spatial vortex.

They like turn it into a little, they turn it into like one of those 3D stereoscopic pictures. Don't put my babies in the void. No. Elder opened her phone the other day and one of those widgets with like Google photos on it had a photo of one of the girls when they were little and she opened it up and she was like, oh, look at him.

Why the fuck is it doing that? Ugh. Uh-huh. As they're like floating around in a strange 3D space. I didn't ask for that. Phone's haunted. To pick a police of raising awareness this week about a social media trend

following the recent arrest of a teenager. Kimberly Quoll. With the city of Topeka said police arrested a 16-year-old boy on May 7th on two counts of aggravated assault. She said the arrest stemmed from a confrontation that occurred in the parking lot of a store near the intersection of Southwest, 21st Street, and Southwest Wattemaker Road. Police determined it was tied to a viral social media trend referred to as cheesing. Cole said the train involves people recording themselves, throwing pieces of sliced cheese at another individual, posting the footage to social media. Okay, that's pretty funny.

Southeast want to make a road? Yep. Southwest. I'd love to. Southwest want to make a road? Yeah. Yeah. So get from here to there?

Southwest? Want to make a road? They usually have planes instead. Yeah. That's really funny. Did Southwest Airlines just go out of business or which one just went? No, spirit, I think. Spirit.

Or a front of no spirit, right? Rips to one of the kings. Ribs. You ever see the footage of People are slapping their crying babies with a slice of cheese. Yeah. Anybody ever seen that? No.

Harmless fun. You got a baby that's crying. Aware. You know what it sounds like. Aware. And people were trying this thing where you just chuck a slice of cheese onto the baby's head slash face. And a cool slice of cheese, American cheese. I'm going to assume it has that sort of sticky quality.

You couldn't take a slice of Australian Colby or. cheddar and cheese someone like this. It would flop harmlessly to the floor. Oh, you put a Mercy Valley cheddar on them and it would just crumble into nothing. It'd be no good. Be no good at all. Oh, you've hit me with a handful of powder. Yeah.

So I think it does have to be like a craft single. It's got to be an American cheese type thing for this. But hits a baby who just kind of stops what they're doing and goes, uh-huh. At the, I guess the sensation of a large cold slice of cheese resting on their. tactile sensation. Yeah. How do I understand this rectangle?

This is bloody. And they kind of forget about what they were doing. They forget about the thing they were crying about. DDT? DBT, the dialectical behaviour therapy stuff. I don't know that one. They did cock and ball torture. Yeah, no, I did a bunch of cock and ball torture for age.

But like they talk about stuff like... Dick and ball torture? Dick and ball torture. Dick and ball torture, yeah. They do about stuff like if you're like finding yourself getting really, really agitated, you put a bunch of ice and water into a bowl and you put your face in it for 30 seconds and it's like a biological, like, there's a lot of like physiological kind of sort of tricks to, you know, make your body kind of come out of, come out of that mood, right?

Yeah, you're just trying to like short circuit, like shock yourself out of the physical loop that you're stuck in, right? But it's not just the shock of the temperature, it's the temperature itself as well. I think cools and changes some of the stuff that's going on in your body. It's DBT for babies. I've actually heard that you can do this to yourself. Like as an adult, there's a DBT thing you can do. We just stick a finger up your own asshole and it sort of resets.

Just real quick. Oh. Plus, if you've got hiccups, it's not actually that bad. I actually feel okay. And most of the time it stops me from biting the person. I'm in the middle of biting as well. So I'm just going to break this fight up that I'm having. Oh.

Okay. It does stop you from here. It does stop you from here. A great way to settle some disputes, you know, at the pub. You've got a couple of guys shaking each other by the lapels. Wait, you guys, finger up the other guy's asshole on three. And your relationship to each other will change very quickly. Stop fighting.

You boys are brothers. Put a finger up, put a finger up. Figure him. I want to see you boys dribbling. Oh, I know. Come on. Come on, they're brothers. Come on.

The victim of the cheesing incident allegedly confronted the teenager, according to police. The teen then allegedly displayed a firearm and threatened the victim. Okay, I feel like that's outside the... That's outside of the... That's not a shoozing. We're not pranking.

That's not a prank. That's not a prank. You threw a bit of cheery. He's the guy. The guy reacted adversely. He said, brother, why did you do that?

I'm going to fucking kill you. I'm going to shoot you. He's like gun by the way. I have a gun on me. Just in case someone reacted badly when I filmed them, getting hit by some cheese that I threw. Because you're going to protect yourself.

If you're pranking, if you're pranking, you need to be vulnerable. Yes. I think you have to be ready to get your ass kicked. Get your ass beat. Yeah. It's the fucking,

you know, jackass kind of. of mojo, right? Like, you've got to be able to receive as much as you give, right? Like, if you're going around throwing cheese on people's faces and someone punches you in the face for it, I feel like that is just part of the game. Part of the game.

You've got to put your body on the line. Because if you're coming from a position of power, it's not a prank, it's just torture. No, that's just torture. You're just being cruel to those around you, and you should be put down like a dog. I mean, I believe everyone that does pranks generally. particularly pranks where they're filming someone should be executed.

Executed, yes, executed. Slarily executed. No, I think this, I think again there's the... I think again there's the... I think there is definitely the space for pranks where the pranker is the one on a kind of... Who is at a disadvantage, right? Like, again, like Jackass where they prank the doctor or the X-ray technician because he's got... a car up his asshole.

Yeah. Right? He's the one having to put a car up his asshole. That's right. Yeah. You need to lower yourself. You need to lower yourself. You can't be the one being like, you know, hey, into this elevator.

And then there's, you know, a very, very lifelike video on the ground of like the elevator starting to crumble away and the people are like begging for their life. You think you're actually dying. And then like, yeah, they're just like crying and breaking down and being remade as people. And then the doors open. and they're like, hey! You looked so stupid when you thought you were about to die. Yeah.

Yeah. Remember how your last thought was of your, like, kids and how you'd never get to see them grow up? You looked like a fucking dipshit. And then you pissed your kids. I assume we're all aware of where American culture has got to at this point with, like, kick streamers, right? With kick streaming being the unwoke Twitch,

where you're allowed to do racist stuff and gambling. and all that kind of jazz. A guy got arrested this week for what's his fucking name. It's really... Chud the Builder. Chud the Builder. He was this guy's streaming name and his deal is to walk around in public live streaming

saying the N-word loudly and saying to people along with other horrible racist terms. And then when somebody says, what did you say? And responds in exactly the way number one you would expect them to and number two they are intended to respond

by what this person is doing he then says I'm going to defend myself and either blast people with a big can of bear mace or threatens to shoot them with the gun he's carrying and this had been going on for a couple of weeks. And this demon, can we kill him?

No I hope so so like you're saying Ben not with ordinary weapons okay as this guy started blowing up online and of course you have a huge audience out there of of horrid right-wing chuds watching this and going ha ha look at all these exclive everyone's so triggered they're getting triggered by a word if someone if someone just saying a word can make you really upset then actually you're the stupid one and so he did exactly

this the other day and then he shot a man and himself somehow, somehow got himself through the arm or something while he was doing this. And he has been charged with attempted murder and has a bond of one and a quarter million dollars.

Because he was already out on bond. Because he was doing crimes. Okay. With real life consequences. Yeah, or this guy on Jack Doherty who hires a huge bodyguard and then he goes around and just kind of walks into people that shoves them in public and says offensive stuff

and then they go what and he just hides behind his big bodyguard and that's the whole deal he's ruining it for the rest of us birthday boys out there I know you can't hit me I'm just a little birthday boy just the birthday boy behind your bodyguard

no bodyguards for birthday boys I think so true so true but Ben it's the final sentence of this story that makes me go great we've got more people being influenced by exactly this kind of behavior because if you you get to the end of this and you go, well, I was doing a thing that was likely to make people upset, I'd better be carrying a gun and tell them I'll kill them if they react poorly to the thing

that I have just done for no reason to them a stranger. There's such a big golf between the prank and the death threat as well. Like, it's, oh, it's not had it fun. It's just a slice of jeez. I'll kill you. I will literally fucking put you in the ground. I will bury you my fucking self. It's a slice of cheese. Relax.

We should be able to laugh this off. If you're going to defend yourself I think you need to pull out like a pool noodle or something.

Yeah. Robert chicken. Comedy. Comedy melee weapon. And then throw one down for him too. And you say, hey, look,

you want to, I have offended you. Let's settle all this on the battlefield. And then you whiff each other with pool noodles. And then you're kind of like get a bit,

you're getting a bit hot so you might need to take some of your clothes off, I think. Yeah. Let us both immediately get into these inflatable sumo suits. Yeah. And how about it? Just like you've got a little JBL Go, Bluetooth speaker,

clip to your belt, you press play on Duel of the Fates. Yeah. Start pool noodling each other. Like, that's whatever. Sure. You're having fun with it. You're pool noodling him. He's pool noodling you.

Kind of hitting the pool noodles on each other, kind of rubbing them against each other. Maybe you're both pooledling. Youdling yourselves. Maybe there's a third guy. Maybe you're both sharing the one pool noodle. Oh, boy. The shit that's going on with these live streamers, it's a bit of a trip. We talk about people tripping in the Tripping Report.

I'm like itching for another edition of the Tripping Report. This comes to a stream. How are you still sick? I don't know. I'm not enjoying it. I'm not having fun! Take some vitamins. Take some vitamin C for the love of God.

Have you taken any vitamin C? No. I mean, I'm eating lots of healthy. Food is medicine. You should see the fucking soups. Yeah, vitamin C, if you're already sick, it's too late. Limon C is supposed to have in your regular diet. That's right.

Disagree. Yeah, so they don't get scurvy. I think doing a bunch of stuff when you know you're already getting sick is the pro move. I think that's the meta. It's like, you're like, uh-oh. throat's feeling a little weird. Well, what if I just eat 20 vegetables today? I think that'll probably forestall this.

I drank a whole bottle of orange juice. I think everything is going to be. Hey, okay. I guess it's soup time for me. This comes for us for the Aeroid Experience Vault. So booze is legal and everyone does it. Maybe it's not as exciting to think about as other drugs, but a drug it is. Oh, boy.

Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Tiz and tits. Tiz and tis button. another drug? Wow, I'm the first guy who thought of getting really drunk. People would be getting really drunk for so long. But has anyone with an analytical mind tried getting drunk before?

Probably not. Hey, just wanted to say that a review into 31 studies found that once two grams of vitamin C daily did in fact reduce the duration of a cold by 8% in adults. You reading this from the AI summary for the Google AI summary? That's got to be taken before. That's got to be taken before. That's... Before you do it.

Food is medicine. During. Where does it say during? Closing the duration of a cold. No, duration is how long the cold goes for. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So you keep taking it. Keep taking it.

And your cold will be shorter. It's such a smart podcast. I will. No, maybe. If I see some of the shops, maybe. Eat an orange. I've been having orange juice. I'm getting vitamin.

C from the sauce, brother. You heard of players? Well, you should have said that at the start. If oranges are a bit strong for you, I can recommend mandarin's. Okay. You can just eat a capsicum. You can just eat a bell pepper.

It's got a vitamin's in it. A lot of vitamin C and onions. Make some French onion soup. I've been making hell of soup. You wouldn't believe in the bell pepper. Oh, you've been eating hellas soups. I've been eating hellas soups, dude. I've been making crazy good soups.

Vitamin C. Vitamin C. In my bell peppers? I had decided to get drunk, very drunk, to see what it was like. Cool. To see what it's like. Yeah, just to give it a try. You've got to try everything.

You have to have the mind of a scientist when you come into this world. That's true. Part of the Arrowwood Trip report should include the age of the trip. I think we should be able to guess by the end of this story, I reckon. Somehow, regarding the booze is purely a drug and not just a drink made it more appealing. I don't get an IV Is anyone saying it as just a drink? Yeah

It's just a drink dude It's just a drink yeah A drink never hurt anyone In the weeks prior to this event I had tested the water as it were By getting mildly drunk a few times On various drinks Okay

Oh this guy can fooling so fucking hard at high school Yeah By mildly I mean so that I could easily control myself still But could fall into the drunkenness If I let myself go So you were doing okay at a game of pool at this point. You were doing better than you thought. You were doing better than usual. It's got that little bit of confidence that you need.

Yes. You just sort of upped the efficiency of the connection between your brain and your body until you have a couple more beers and then it's gone. You find out that like, you know, sometimes we overthink things. Not me. Sometimes we think we think too much and we don't just act on instinct. I think I think the perfect amount. That kind of makes us more dangerous drivers as well.

I can't be doing that one. I researched alcohol at its effects, both mental and physicals, learned about it and decided that I would go ahead with getting completely drug. Okay. Tell us about it and decided to do it anyway. So awesome. What is being drug like? Awesome.

Okay, great. I'm in. Scola. Dot, google.com. Effects of alcohol on humans. The friend with whom I intended to get drug with had been drunk before, but never the extent we intended to be.

I'm picturing two of the coolest fucking guys you've ever met. God, just a couple of like, people that are really comfortable. Never just standing around awkwardly with their hands in their pockets. I'll tell you that much for free. Always know what to do with their hands. Yeah. I don't like talking about getting drunk

as though you are embarking on astral travel. Yeah, like you're a fucking... It's not what it's like. It's not what it's like. Man, they should make beer that opens your third eye. Imagine what society would be like if it would be an opid your third eye. We looked around and found prices of different sources of alcohol, looking for the cheapest price per amount of pure alcohol.

He's taken the piss. He's taking the piss. He's describing this in the form and cadence of an era with trip report to make everybody laugh. Oh, you think this is an art piece? This is a twisted fun house mirror being held up to the rest of the airwood community. Andy Kaufman style performance. Yeah.

But it's still insufferable because he wants to show that alcohol is still a drug, man. It's a drug, man. The cheapest price per amount of pure alcohol is also the ultimate rookie move for drinking too. Yeah. This reminds me of an old friend of mine, rest in peace, who was getting a... Getting a tattoo. I was getting a tattoo and sought to achieve this

by ringing around all the tattoo places in the town to find the cheapest rate per hour. It's a great move. And I said, I don't, you know it's going to like stay on there. It's permanent. You know. Not something you want to cheap out on. Spend the extra 50 bucks.

I know you might be a little tight this week, but like think about you in 10 years. Spend the extra $50. Turns out he wouldn't need to worry about that. Okay. That's quite sad. I bought a 750 mil of whiskey from a local shop and hit it in my bedroom until I was going to use it. During this time I sampled a small amount of it, perhaps 30 mil.

Not much at all. I found that it tasted very bad, but drinkable. Fuck me. How old are you? He's already. He's young. Well, young, yes, because he's young. is hiding it in his bedroom where he lives with his parents.

Yeah. One Friday evening, my friend's parents had gone out, so he decided to get drunk then. I went round to his house and we got straight to it. Now, this is just a guess on my part, but I think this person might be Canadian. Do you think they're just giving Canada? Well, because they're using metric for the volume.

Oh, yeah. Okay, yes. Went round. It's very, that's not like... I'd say went round in Australian parlors. Interesting. Maybe they are Australian. No, because he's got, he said that whiskey is cheap.

He said that whiskey is cheap, so he's not Australian. He's American or Canadian. That's true. Yeah. Definitely, I can't surely not. Although I guess the very online person is a citizen of the world. That's true. That is very true.

Just imagining an America who spends more time online than other. And so he's like just, uh, he's just use a metric for everything. Oh, actually. And they're like having to convey. inverted in his head, like doing his driver's test, like, sorry, I just got to... Being like a Japanophile, but for the metric system. I'm sorry, I just think in Celsius. It's actually way better.

Well, it is. You were correct to think that. But like, that is a type of person. I've definitely seen them online. They're kind of like, you know, real rediddy stack overflow, internety types who are like, don't want to be associated with the Luddites that are using Imperial or whatever. So they're doing it the way we would. Oh, they're code switching.

I would say the hallmark of it is if you say the temperature in Celsius and then in brackets afterwards the Fahrenheit temperature because a true Celsius head would never also put the Fahrenheit temperature ever. But they're used to having to stoop to. The only time I'm ever thinking about it is I'm converting an American recipe. That's it. Yeah. They should be putting both in their things, so I don't have to do that.

Yes. If I'm over there, I will respect their culture. I will say their numbers. I'll say miles. I'll say Fahrenheit. whatever, but outside, I'm never giving you the courtesy conversion because you're never doing it for us. I'm imagining an American who says, gidday in written communication like Australians who write y'all in online.

We've got it. That's got it. We've got to stop that shit out. Knock it off. You can't be single with an Australian accent. It's just so embarrassing. We've got use. Make them say use.

We've got Y-O-U-S-E. Yeah. And it's very versatile, you can say like all of you. We already have a one syllable catch all for a group of people. Yeah. We need a plural first person pronoun. So we made one. Language is need one.

And we have our own. We don't have to fucking borrow theirs. Use ain't ready for that conversation. And if you want to talk the kind of universal tongue. Yes. You know, if we want to make a universal song, let's switch to Esperanto. Okay? There is one already.

I've got to bring back Esperanto. So many books on Esperanto in my house. I'm so ready for the Esperanto. And how much Esperanto do you speak, Ben? I'm working on it. 26th year of the Esperanto. Yeah, that's right. Now, as a reasonably seasoned drinker,

I will say that the two most rookie moves here. Yeah, drug addict. Wow. It sounds a bit different when we say it like that, doesn't it? Makes you think, doesn't it? It's like when I strategically say to my children, well, you know, caffeine is a drug. The two rookiest moves here are the cheapest price per amount of pure alcohol because this is going to make everything so much worse for you. It's going to make the hangover so much worse.

It's going to make drinking it so much worse and all those things. The second is getting the cheapest possible bottle of whiskey of all things. If you're like trying to get bang for your buck here, surely vodka will be far and away the cheapest thing. Vodka is the winner. You can combine it with something else. Honestly, they've had the technological edge on this for a long time, right? Like cheap production of alcohol that doesn't really taste like anything and doesn't. doesn't make you die, hopefully, at the end of it, right?

Yeah. Also, we know that alcohol is a drug. Please don't email us if you've missed some sort of... We know, some kind of... Like, you know... This is like a thought you have when you're like 19, and then you sort of dismiss it as stupid. Yeah, or like, except that, yes,

technically it is true if you kind of play... If everyone's playing on a level playing field and you were maybe the health. advisor for a country or something like that. Maybe those are the terms you might want to talk about. We don't think it's good for you. Yeah. No.

But we also cool. We don't think it's awesome. We don't think it's often delicious. It's a really fun thing. Delicious. It's fun to do with your friends. It doesn't make you better at everything. It makes me better at dancing.

Fuck, it makes me so much better at dancing. You never want to see you be sober and dancing. See, here's the problem. It's never made me better at dancing. And in fact, it's probably made me worse. and I guess maybe that's why I just sort of like I guess I see through the lies. Oh yeah you've seen through the Matrix. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We just make me better at dancing. Put me up in front of the United Nations so I can say that alcohol is a drug.

But weed comes from the ground. Yeah. How can it be poisonous when it comes from nature, ignoring all of the other natural poisons for this argument. how can it be poisonous? Comes from Mother Gaya. You know that like that thing people, I know I certainly used to love to say that

like how can a drug with no recorded fatalities be illegal while alcohol is legal? Talk about weed. Have we got recorded fatalities now? Just that now that use is so widespread. So widespread, you can have a couple. Have we got a couple? Do we, how can a drug with only 30 to 50 recorded fatalities?

Yeah. You know? It'd be a byproduct of what you're doing. doing, right, rather than the actual drug killing you. I'm sure there are people who have died driving while they're real high. Yeah, or you ate too much spaghetti. Like, you just kept eating the

spaghetti until, even though your chest hurt and you kept eating it and then you died. That was really embarrassing for the no recorded fatalities community. Like, all right, we've got one. How did he die? So, like, he had, it was two 500 grand packets of pasta. Do you know

how much that is once the water's in there? What if the killer from? He puffed up like a Bird. What if the killer from seven was really misunderstood and he was actually just trying to get some recorded fatalities on there for seven? Yes. Oh, seven's the name of the movie. Spaghetti.

Spaghetti. Remember how he fed that guy all out spaghetti till he died? Yeah. Spaghetti. One recorded fatality. He got stuck to the couch. Couldn't move. Two stoned.

Got Donnie Darkode. Yeah. Yeah. I was feeling a lot of excitement and anticipation for what was to come. Everything felt. good and right to do it. This was two years ago, so times will not be quite accurate. At about 6.30, we both drank half of the whiskey, which was about 360 mil each.

Oh, my, oh my God. Like all at once? Oh, my God. That's about 80% of a pint. You, you, what? 80% of a pint of whiskey? Yeah. Not like equivalent beer.

Yeah. So not even a whole pint. Oh, my goodness. Just half a bottle of whiskey. I doubt it all in one go to make it easy. but it's still burnt my throat terribly. I almost threw up in the sink, but held it in. You can't go through the whole kind of pretending like this is a drug and then just be like dose?

I guess, um, half a bottle. Yeah. The desire to vomit quickly passed. My friend drank his and we washed the glasses and put the back. Oh, good to know. We went and watched TV and just hung around his house for like 15 or 20 minutes. Yeah. We decided to go.

Yeah, then what happened next? They died Yeah We decided to go out And walk around the streets for a bit We went out and walked And talked and went to like the center of our suburb No, they're Australian

I reckon they're fucking Australian Maybe Yeah You could be right It was pretty quiet Not many people were around But it was very warm and light still We were wondering when we would feel anything

It had been about 30 minutes already Wait no Sorry I'm going to take it back again It was suggested that we go and buy some more but instead of turning down towards an off license, we continued on walking. Off license, British. British.

There must be English. English. Interesting. We went into a supermarket and looked at the alcohol considering whether or not to buy more. About that time, T plus 45 minutes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So awesome, dude.

Is that the worst alcohol on the face of the earth? That's such a low, like, what do you call that? low time for it to kick in. I feel like that's high. What's those latency on this whiskey? I would have thought half an hour would do it. I would have thought like 10 minutes. Like usually like your metabolism for like

oral substances, you know, all drugs, let's say. Yes. Usually is around like 30 minutes, right? I would,

I would expect if I slam. If I slam down five shots in like 30 seconds or whatever, if I just sat and had five shots back to back to back to back to back. I'm expecting to be shit-faced in 10 minutes. Which they did, by the way. This is, you think a bottle of whiskey is, you know, 40, 45 standard drinks. So they did.

No, it's like 30. 22. Is it? 30, 20? 20. It's 40, 45% alcohol. Let's all just say our favorite number and then hopefully one of them will be correct. But that's 10 shots back to back, right?

And holy moly. But also, if you wanted 10 minute uptake, you've got to buff it. Can I just say that that is, you've just done some foreshadowing there, not for this story, but it will pay off in a couple of episodes. Oh. Usually boffs pay off earlier. I'm going to tell you how it goes after a couple of weeks. We began to notice some effects, just a feeling of happiness and well-being. Jokes brought about a lot more laughter than usual.

Yeah, that's me. First beer of the day, I'm talking to my friends. We're talking nonsense. be that you're with your bro. You're outside enjoying the day with your bro. First beer of the day, 7.15 a.m. I'm laughing with my buddies. Sense of well-being.

Let's go. First drink of the day, on the job site, out of my Yeti cup that people can't see through. I'm so nervous, Ben. No, no, don't be. This isn't like a stand-by-me thing. They're not going to find a dead body or anything. No, but they've drunk so much alcohol.

It's half a bottle of whiskey. I've been here before. The first time I got proper drunk, I drank like up close to a whole bottle of Canadian club. I'm going to say a whole bottle of Canadian club, yeah. Early formative experiences. You drink a lot of southern comfort.

Yeah, dude. Yeah. We would buy, I think we worked out the cheapest, most drinkable alcohol for like 17 year olds was like peach shnaps or caramel shnaps. Jesus. I know.

I know. Because you guys didn't know that it was a lower ABV than like actual spirits? No, we knew. I think it was just easy for us to drink like a whole bottle of it. It's so nasty. And it was like $10 to $15. It's so cheap.

It's fucking horrible, dude. It's nasty. We concluded we wouldn't need any more booze and continue to walking on. The effects came on quite rapidly after that. Yeah. The happy feeling increased and everything felt fun to do. Yeah. Oh, everything felt fun.

So a positive experience. That's some Velveteen rabbit stuff. You should do it every day. Running really fast down the street feels great. Pushing a shopping trolley into a canal feels amazing. You ever run down a street when you're really drunk? Oh my God. At night too.

Running? Night running. Night running. Oh. As fast as you can. Yeah. Ever felt like a beautiful gazelle as a 33-year-old man running down a back street of Westhead? while you're hammered drunk

just feeling the cool night air through your hair and beard gets the heart pumping makes the alcohol work better you know the west end of the back streets they've got coal stones you know like

the west ended the west ended Brisbane I was thinking oh sorry I was thinking Roma I'm it's because it's so

well travel running around the streets of Roma I've had so much grapper I feel crazy. I thought you were talking about Forenze. I lived in Forenze for a month.

And I mean that I truly lived. Truly lived. Right on a lot of cobblestones. Running down some cobblestone streets of Forenze after some grapah. Got the surgery that may be Italian. If I let myself go, I could lose some physical control and start to stumble, but I could still pass as sober if I wanted to. Oh, so good. Yeah.

I could pass a soberer. I can pass the sober. We all think we can. We all think we can. No worries. I can pass the soap. Yeah. I can do the alphabet backwards.

Z. Y and Tiv and Z, but A. No one can do that, even when there's, it's a trick. I can do it. And I hate to be tricked. I hate being tricked, yeah. We headed back towards his house, cutting through a graveyard as a shortcut. Here we began to fall about laughing in the grass, not caring where we were. Yes.

Beautiful. I've never fell about laughing, I don't think. You ever fell about laughing with the homies? Maybe when I was younger. From here onwards my memory is a bit sketchy, but I will tell you what I remember. We made it back to his house, we walked up his drive and got to the door, and as I was behind him and kind of ran into him, we both laughed. And he pushed me and I stumbled and fell through a high wooden fence separating his house from his neighbor. The fence collapsed on top of me and I crawled out.

The neighbor came out and I seemed to remember apologizing and helping him stand the fence back. up. This is the guy who just said, but I could pass for sober. Yeah, he could pass for sober, yeah. I then ran out into the street and back into my friend's driveway. I have a clear picture of running back towards his house. Everything was black and white

for a moment. I've not had that one. I haven't had that one. Personally. I haven't had my vision become monochromatic as a result of having a lot of drinks. I think he was entering Rashamon mode. There's different versions of him either knocking over or knocking over the fence.

Him and his friend describing their black and white memories to each other the next day. Oh, not how I remember that. Inside we fell about knocking furniture over and such. So much falling about. Yeah, you don't hear that a lot. You don't hear that. It's very like I'm getting a good image of what's going on. I told you. There's all about laughing, touching each other.

falling about together. Falling on each other. Falling on each other. Frily jostling. Yes. It was all very good fun and everything felt great. And that's what I want to be able to say about my life. Looking back at the moment of my death.

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. Yes. Put that on his tombstone. Put that on his tombstone. It was all very good fun and everything felt great. This alcohol stuff is great. I should do it all the time. Because then he ran out into the street and he

got Miss Meet Joe Blacked. But off even more cars. We're talking 20 to 25 bouts. So many cars. I remember that several times we would try to get through to each other saying sober, sober! For a few minutes, we could drag our rational minds out of our drunken state and communicate seriously about what we were going to do.

But it was like holding a heavy weight. Very soon you had to drop it and we would return to acting like fools. Oh, you're entering the Getting Our Pizza Order, correct, stage. Yeah, everybody shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Hey, can I have two leap movers? Oh, fuck. Oh, no. We live in a 69 Diary League.

We headed for his parents' drink cabinet and drank an unknown amount of other spirits. I remember we drank a lot of amaretto between us. My God, no, you didn't sit. This is very bad. Where was your trip sitter? Honestly, this is two people new to the substance? Yeah. They need someone to say, I know that you feel like you want more alcohol right now

because the existing alcohol feels so good. But this is a loop, this is a cycle. How about instead of more alcohol, you take this piece of paper in a box of crowds? Yeah. Whoa. How about you play some geometry wars on the Xbox? I'm not hearing any of that.

thing about how much water he's had. Yeah. When you're young, you don't need to hydrate that much, right? It's like 99% water. It's like almost entirely water. It's a liquid. It's all liquid. I was thinking that this person sounds very 18 years old, right? And like you said, Ben, drinking half to a full bottle of liquor in an evening at that age.

I have those memories of like drinking most of a bottle of liquor. and waking up in the morning and going, oh, about my business with me. Yeah, a bit tired today. Instead of now. Man, it couldn't be me. Time to spring out of bed and then fuck four times in 20 minutes. It's incredible what the human body can do at that age.

And then what happened, Ben? Time comes for a soul. No, I meant to your frenulum. Let's just say a little comedic cartoon-style speech bubble popped up that just said, snap! we actually that weirdly that same the person whom i was dating where the frambulum incident happened one of my first like dates with her was we just like sat on my floor in my apartment and just drank a bottle of yagermaster oh that used to be a day healthy dude it's actually a kind of medicine

it's basically it's like a very refined sort of digest if yeah from urup this is like um this this is this is sort of there's a real ritual to this and a togetherness to this just sitting around like two people connecting it's like it's like it's like other cultures might be you know uh using ayahuasca maybe yeah yeah yeah it's like a Friday night iowaska session with the boys the whole point you just be like let's get drunk tonight but they didn't really have fridays because they didn't have a work week i think i don't know if this is a good idea it is cross-cultural there's a reason why we've formed rituals around the sitting together and the sharing of a drink not even a mind-altering one.

Just the passing of something between people. Something there, I think. Could be a canoto. Well, no, because they'll be yucky. Probably not, because it's kind of yuck. I got used to it due to my time in forensic. What you think, in forensic? My friend dropped the bottle on his fireplace and broke some tiles.

I think we maybe broke a table at his house too. You guys are shit. We went back outside where it was still light. We went and called it the house. of this guy we used to know. What do you mean? You're like 18. How do you have a guy you used to know?

I love the loser energy of these guys. You might be referring to the other guy who is now a new person. Because he completely forgot. I'm no longer Dave. Oh, this all sounds very similar. I've transcended Dave. I've shared Dave. I used to go by that name.

I remember Dave. I was Waston as Dave. And I named after the cable standard. These guys are going to be filling the toilet bowl and not flushing. They're like just having, you've given a bad name to drinkers, I'd say. It's not even addictive, by the way. I think it's just being 18. I have very distinct memories of doing basically exactly this.

And doing it with my friends at my parents' house where I lived. and like damaging furniture and somebody threw up on the carpet and then I tried to clean the throw up on the carpet but the product that I used had some amount of bleach in it and so that patch of the carpet was then lighter

than the rest of the carpet I set you off to Military Academy and my parents could tell they identified these things very quickly what's this white spot that smells like puke cat I think this is beautiful you know

they're both 18 and it just felt so right and they're fallen on each other staying up oh that's really big that's for you nothing is beautiful as like just going out of with your friends

and making some fragments of memories that's right making some forgets that is beautiful making some holes in your brain yeah his mother answered the door

and we managed to act sober. He didn't. He wasn't home anyway. We walked around a bit more. It was like watching the world through thick glass. Not because my vision was obscured, but because I was just a spectator in what I was doing. Wow.

I think we may have been talking far too loudly. As someone looked at us rather strangely from across the road. You're astral projecting while drunk. From booze. That's awesome. Yeah, actually, maybe your mind is more powerful than I realize. You might actually be a powerful psycho. Yeah.

You might be a telepath, dude. Yeah. They're a shaman. The booze shaman. I had an urge to hit my friend. I don't know why. I got him playfully on his arm. I wasn't in control.

I remember really, I really remember very little past here. I'm pretty sure you were back to his house for a bit. You ever? They've ever rough house a little with your boys. Yeah, you ever trying to like punch your friend in the arm to see if like, see if he reacts.

He wanted to touch the homie. Yeah. Playfully, fainting gut punches at Judd after 20 beers and then, oh, oh, we had grappling each other. Yeah. To grapple Judd. Before we were wrestling. And you will be able to grapple Jad at the live show, but please ask for permission first. Hey, Judd, sorry if I got too drunk when you were around for dinner last time.

He, I don't know if we said this on the show before, but you, not this time, but maybe the previous time he went around to your house gave him his second or third. third hangover in his entire life. You guys are trouble. On a weeknight, too. After that, the next thing I recall is being at a local park, which is about equidistant from our respective houses. Oh, about equidistant? That was about equidistant from our respective houses.

Shut up. Come on. We get confused otherwise. If you didn't say respective houses, I would think the two of them owned a pair of houses together, joint. That were equidistant. Yeah. That were equidistant from each other.

Well, remember when this guy was like, Like, I don't think it's doing anything. Yeah. This half a bottle of whiskey ate shit. Half an hour later. No. It was so, it was dark, so some time must have passed. A regular freaking Einstein over here.

Fucking genius over here. Yeah, dude. I estimate it was about T plus three hours. We fell around on the grass. No one's going to see us. It was okay. Falling about? Stop falling about.

falling around. I'm picturing someone like letting themselves go limp, falling, getting back up. It's like an active process to continuously fall about. You've got to get back up to fall about. Yeah, I think you guys want to be falling about. You, something in you is saying, let's fall about together. Yeah. Michael Douglas in falling about.

I don't care who sees us fall about. Someone's always inviting a guy and being like, oh, my friend's really cool and he spends the whole night just falling about. Oh, guys, I fell about like last time, is he? Yeah, he's not going to come about, falling about everywhere. You're trying to walk to hungry jacks and he's just falling about every like 100 metres? Dude, yeah, it's really funny.

He's going to take forever. I promise, man, he's cool. Last time he just, he hadn't eaten anything before and Annie was doing a scientific experiment. We tried to break through again. Sober, sober. Which worked for even less time than before. My friend had to get home before his parents did.

I woke up in the park and he was gone. The next maybe 30 minutes were spent waking up in different places around the park. Tried to walk and they're just waking up somewhere else. You ever had that one? The sensation of teleporting because you're so drunk, you just keep being like, oh shit. Now I'm over here. In a slide.

No. I have. The last extremely bad hangover I had, I was very haunted by the sensation of. I remember the last place I was, but I do not remember how I got to my house. Yeah. I kind of like that feeling.

I wish we could experience that without the other parts of like the bad parts of being. Oh, the following 24 hours for me, you mean? Or the juring as well. Like, I'd like to be aware of it while I'm doing a sort of like very limited squip. Very limited squope quantum leap. I confuse myself with the cue from quantum leap, as I often do. Very limited squip, quantum leap situation where you are perfectly aware. of your surroundings, but you are just like, oh, and I'm here now. Hey, oh, I'm over here. Oh, I'm

talking to this guy. I think that'd be fun. Can I just say, I think this is why you've got to have a beer with your kids. A beer? You've got to set them up for success. You've got to set them up for success and not to do this nerd shit. Maybe you just start having a little alcohol. Potentially get like robbed or killed in the city park. Let them get robbed or killed in the home. In the home. That's right. That's where it's safest. You can intervene. Yeah. Yeah. When I made it home, my parents were in the kitchen. My bloodshot eyes were noticed and then my behavior. And I basically got busted for the whole deal.

You reckon your parents are like, his eyes are bloodshot? He's been drinking alcohol. There's something weird about him. I wonder what it is. Or you smelt bad and you were having a hard time standing up. And you probably left the bottle of booze out. You fell about three times between the front door in the kitchen. You're falling about a lot.

Is there something you want to tell us about why you might be falling about? I don't like to recount this part of the evening, as it is the extremely bad part of the whole memory, the first half being extremely good. Okay. About to learn a real lifelong lesson here. Parents will yell at you if you are stupid.

Never get caught. I threw up soon after getting home. The next morning I was still a bit drunk, but had no headaches or aversion to light, as is traditionally felt after a binge on alcohol. Ah, tis indeed. Tis indeed, verily. Tis traditional.

Forsooth. I was sitting in my room that evening, sorry, sitting in my room that morning when I imagined the almond taste of the amaretto I had drank. The taste was vivid and real, and I again vomited. Yeah, there it is. All right. I had previously liked an almond flavor, but even to this day,

I'm not entirely comfortable with it. Two years hence, even to this day, two years hence. You cannot put stomach the thought of alcohol? Prithee, dost thou favour the taste of the humble almond. Being found out by my parents was an intensely uncomfortable situation, and no one ever mentions it still. It was an awful end to a truly great evening. Time to do it again this weekend.

It would have been wise to have a non-participant with us that night, to prevent us from doing anything dangerous, for example. You called it, T-bird. about a trip sitter. Trip sitter. Alcohol trip sitter. Everyone should. I can't imagine anything worse than being a trip sitter for drunk people.

Because that's my job. Where you work. Fuck, I need to change my job. Shit. It's just not a good time. At least like there's a real compersion aspect to looking after people that are on like psychedelics or whatever. Yeah.

Because it's very easy to make them feel. very good or do experience delight and you know you're sort of shepherding people safely through a very beautiful experience drunk people are so fucking annoying yeah they're so when you're drunk not annoying at all no you're having a great time why isn't it when drunk yeah what's that about and how come i'm awesome when i'm drunk even when the people around me are sober they think that my newfound like charisma and confidence is just like fun and cool Charming, funny, cool. Awesome thing to be around.

That's strange, isn't it? Maybe have some sort of gene where alcohol doesn't make me annoying. Yeah, I think that's probably it. Right? Yeah. Sort of like an ex-man in that regard. Some kind of mutant. Fuck.

Funny you say that, Ben. I'm just reading about how Humanetics has a new head of impact. Hugh Jackman. Yeah, Hugh Jackman. He's the head of impact. A favorite mutant. He had an impact, huge Jackman? We kind of do work with Hugh Jackman.

Our colleague. That's crazy. Huge Jackman. Who I think is an activist. Yeah. Music. Oh. He's kind of a song of dance man.

He was doing something with the IDF or something. He's also part of a cult. Which one? I'll find it for you. Yeah, woke. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

The cult of old ladies going slop. at the getting sloppy about it. I do not in any way regret the experience. Indeed, I'm extremely glad I did it. Since that day, the alcohol I have drank totals about three glasses of wine. I haven't really drank since,

nor do I intend to in the future because unless I want to get drunk, I have no reason to drink it. I hate that particular thought. I hate this guy. I hate this guy. What's the Elon Musk? Elon Musk, I enjoy a fine glass of red from

time to time. Because it looks good in a glass or whatever. The phrasing is so this guy infuriating. It's exactly the same as this. It's exactly the same as this. You think everyone is pretending to like the taste of wine or whiskey or beer or whatever? Yeah, everyone that's like, oh, alcohol's gross. He's stupid?

Go to fuck up. Beer tastes bad. What's wrong with you? Look, it's certainly bad for you. It's certainly a net negative for the world as a whole. Yeah. taste fucking awesome dude you've got no idea

I shall not be wanting to have sex unless I intend to come I actually got some sad breaking news for Lucy right at the end of this episode you want to play that breaking news stinger Ben

yeah certainly Schlitz beer ends production after 175 years It's truly devastating. They're closing the Schlitz. They're closing the Schlitz. Closing the Schlitz.

I had a little schlitz in Chicago. I shall no longer wet my lips. They've closed up the Schlitz. I couldn't really think of a good way to talk about this, but Lucy sent me something a couple of weeks ago about some ads that Schlitz ran in the 80s when like their sales were massively declining. And they ran a bunch of ads where they got like just sort of really sort of manly

tough celebrities to kind of threaten to kill you if you stopped drinking Schlitz. Yeah, someone sent this to me I'm sorry, I forgot who, but they were like, this is so Buntavista coded and it was like, drink schlitz or I'll kill you. It's so fucking good. And apparently that ad campaign

did not work. It's just such a before some time. They like reformulated the recipe to kind of make it cheaper so that they lagged them for less time or whatever and they didn't taste as good anymore. they were just like, all right, all right.

We're going to get people back on board. What if we get like Andre the Giant or whoever to threaten to kill you if you stop drinking schlitz? It's really ahead of its time, truly. That's good stuff. That's good gear. To think, only 60 years later they failed. I have not felt any real desire to get drunk again, mainly due to health and fitness interests. Recently, however, my interest in drugs has been rekindled, and I intend to get drunk to a similar degree

sometime soon just to remind me what it's like. I hate you, man. I hate this guy. Try having like five drinks and seeing what that feels like. Just trying three. Just trying five drinks in the space of an hour or two, you know. Two schooners of a 5% pale within an hour, and then you will be like, you'll feel the exact,

the adoraxia, the euphoria, all of it. You'll feel untethered from your woes, and you also won't like blow chunks in your parents' living room and break a bunch of furniture and stuff. Yeah. And then when you start to get sad afterwards, you keep drinking more and you get sad, you stop.

You go, oh, this isn't making me feel any better. I'm not going to recapture the two beer feeling at any point. I'm done. I'm done for the day. Time to go home and put on close encounters of the third kind and watch the first 45 minutes before falling asleep. That's right. Yeah.

That's the perfect trip, dude. That's perfect. And check out smoking weed. they're compatible. They're a little weird later. Yeah, they're compatible. There's no contradictions on them. Yes.

That was close enough. We don't have to do that. Yeah. Thanks. Hey, this was definitely an episode of the podcast. Bonte Vista. Thank you so much for joining us. We are so, so excited to do the live show again.

It was a really fun last time. We're sort of famous for our crazy live shows at this point. The antics. The vibe. kind of feel a little dangerous almost. Yeah, you're like, what's going to happen? Will I get audience interacted with? No.

No. Will they look at me? No, can't see you. The lights on the stage can't actually see you. And that's how we're not. We're not. We're not. We will have wireless mics again, so we maybe could if we want it.

But we're not going to. It's not the sort of thing we do. I think we're going to stick around afterwards as well and play a couple records and hang out. It's kind of like the Chelsea Hotel. You know, New York, 1970s, 1970s. The sort of people you'll meet there, when you talk to them, you're like,

I don't know this person at all, but they seem to have something interesting going on. 20 years later, they're luminaries. They're artistic greats. And you're thinking, fuck, I was there at the start. Could have been there. If you aren't there, you will be thinking, I could have been there.

So you should be there. The Woody Allen movie, Midnight in Paris. but he goes back through time to 26, the Polish club in Brisbane. Oh my God, Brisbane in the 20s? Oh, crazy, dude. You're in Brisbane in the 20s? In the golden age?

What was it like, Grandma? What was it like? It's nuts. And then afterwards, come down to the bar and do the Eroward Challenge. Yeah, please don't do that. Do that at a different bar. You can do that at Tuk-Took.

It's not my problem. We will talk to you, maybe on the bonus episode Patreon.com.com slash by... Patreon.com slash boardaversda. We'll talk to you soon. Bye.

Cool thing.
