Starting point is 00:00:21 You're in my eyes now, breath today. Hello and welcome for Wood Vista. Episode 456, I am Ben, and welcome to Fresnoia Day. That's right. The whole world has come to a standstill as irrefutable proof is broadcast in every channel of the existence of the Fresno Nightcrawler. A seemingly ceaseless stream of videos and images documenting mankind's knowledge of and a relationship to
Starting point is 00:00:46 the Fresno Nightcrawler is playing on every TV and every phone. With me, huddled around the TV, in the front window of a television store. It's Lucy. Hey, Lucy. Hey. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Wow. Wow. Everything's different now. It's different now. Because we know the Fresno Nightcrawler is real. And which one's that one? He's just legs, he's just pants. He's all legs.
Starting point is 00:01:11 He's just pants. He's got an ass on that thing too. Right. It's depending on the rendering that you've seen, he has a little booty. He's got a booty on. The original images, of the Fresno Nightcrawler when they were captured. He's kind of bootyless.
Starting point is 00:01:27 He's flat on the board. I've never seen this guy. I'm intrigued. I'm quite drawn to him. We've talked about so much on this podcast. You have. I know we don't have to remember everything we talk about, but it's crazy to forget the Fresno Nightcrawler.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I can't believe I've forgotten this. He's quite erotic, I would say. What their legs do? He's quite erotic. Oh, sorry. He's got an erotic sensibility about him. So you do remember him. something deeply erotic about this creature.
Starting point is 00:01:55 The original sort of image is like a CCTV still. I don't know if you've got eyes on that there, Lucy. Sort of grainy night vision looking thing of just two pairs of pants. There's two of them, yeah. I like that. Absolutely. Yeah, I think it's just that thing where like teenagers put their arms down the legs of their track suit pants. I think it's just that, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:17 Shit. They're all pants. Well, it's not because we're looking at. at 70 years of documented footage of crash sites, interviews, things of that nature with the Fresno Nightcrawl. It's kind of hard. What happens in Disclosure Day I'm gathering? No. What? No, I don't think so. No, this is Fresnoia Day. This is different. This is when the existence of the Fresno Nightcrawler gets revealed. Sorry, sorry. It's just hard to imagine going back to our petty squabbles. Like Iran, the Strait of Hormuz. Like you think we're really still
Starting point is 00:02:51 going to be fighting over shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz now that we know that the Fresno Nightcrawler is real? And there's multiple of them. And there's at least two. There's at least two of them. Yeah, I don't know if the footage is just of the same two throughout history.
Starting point is 00:03:07 No, because we've got some at Area 51. They're friends. Yeah. Friends do Nightcrawler. I think they're lovers. Yeah. They're made by scissoring. They might have started as enemies. It could be a classic E-Rourler.
Starting point is 00:03:21 situation. We don't know. What if they got sent here on a mission and they like didn't like each other when they got paired up? They were forced to be on the mission, yeah. Anyone but them, they said, genderless society.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Anyone but them. Thank you. I'm two legs for this shit. And they... They're stranded on the desert island that is earth. Are they forced to share a bunk? Because, malfunction
Starting point is 00:03:55 happens with the second bunk on the spaceship like, oh, will you stop rubbing up against me while we're top and tailing
Starting point is 00:04:03 and then accidentally interlocking in this one bunk? We're enemies, not lovers. Oh, no, and a spell is meant that we're stuck inside each other for the next hour.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Whatever one always says, we're enemies, not lovers. And we'll never become lovers. We'll stay enemies. Also with me, standing in Times Square looking up at all of the big TVs, all broadcasting footage of Fresno Nightcrawlers and their activities throughout the last century. It's Andrew. Hi, Andrew.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Wow. Wow. Wow. Everyone's just turning to each other and saying, wow. Wow. Wow. I mean, I knew there was something, but I just didn't think it would look like this, I guess. Yeah, I didn't think it would be, I was in an alternate draft of this intro. It was the Loveland frog, giant frog from I believe Loveland, Indiana. It would be so awesome if Disclosure Day was just that one of the shitty regional cryptos was real and none of the others. None of the other ones. And somehow that one being proven true also disproved all the other ones. That's right.
Starting point is 00:05:08 In every interview we ever did with A Love Land Frog, they're like, no, no, no, we're like, we know everything and aliens are not real. Just the Love Front. No other consciousness out there in the universe. Wow. And you know me, you know me looking up at Times Square and seeing one bit of footage, that's been piped into a newsroom and saying, well, that's instantly changed my entire identity and outlook on the world.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Correct. That's, this footage, it has the, what was the fucking, um, the, the, the social media thing,
Starting point is 00:05:39 Verit? Was Verrett the one that the Democrats tried to kick off? Yeah. This post is true. This one's been veritfied. It's been veritfied. Yeah. It says that at the bottom of all of the footage of the Fresno darkroll.
Starting point is 00:05:52 It's been verified. Is it just, a, there's just a QR code that you can scan. I'm not going to. Yep. But it's there. If you want to see the verified rating, you can scan it with your phone.
Starting point is 00:06:03 But also, I'm busy. I'm busy texting all my friends. Fresno Nightcrawler, real question mark? Turn on the TV. The Fresno Nightcrawler's real. Fuckable? Question mark? Hi.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I'm editing the message after I send it to take the question mark back out because I'm doing it out of habit. Yeah. Real, full stop. Fresno Nightcala, real. Roll. Full stop.
Starting point is 00:06:24 It's a terminal lull. Remember when they could say stuff on the news and people would be like, oh, someone's saying something that's true. Kind of like a killing joke. You don't do that anymore. What a crazy world we're living. You don't do that anymore. Kind of done with that.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I kind of wish, it would be, I don't know if the moment is past now, but it would be truly beautiful to have a transcendent experience standing next to like Times Square Spider-Man and Times Square Captain Jack Sparrow where your whole universe has changed by Syria. in some Times Square Wolfrene Holy shit
Starting point is 00:06:59 Deadpool the Fresno Dark Crawler is real also with us missing out on all the footage because he's jacking off in the toilets at work it's Theo
Starting point is 00:07:07 hi Theo wow wow I don't do this by the way wahu I'm having fun because I'm sort of stimulating my own penis
Starting point is 00:07:20 to cause an orgasm instead of stuff comes out soon. Hey, hurry up in there. The Fresno Nightcrawler is real. All right, be out in a sec. Theo's just getting messages from me that say
Starting point is 00:07:36 Fresno Nightcrawler real and he's just replying, yes, I'm looking at that now and then just switching straight back to the pornography. Yeah, I just put in the chat on mute. That's interesting. In my mind, you were using your imagination to sort of envision a sexual scenario to arouse yourself and achieve a state of orgasm instead of looking at pornography on your phone, but I guess these days, 2026. People are looking at pornography on their phones. People are looking at porn on their phones now.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Not me since they took the ID verification thing. They took it away. They took it away. They took it away from it. They took it away from us. Oh, boy. Okay. Spider-Man, Captain Jack Sparrow. In a way, these guys are kind of celebrities? No, I guess not. The actors that play them are celebrities. It's time. Checks out. For Celebrity Watch. All right, so I'm going to read you guys a list of, you might have seen some of this. This is a list, a partial list of some of the celebrities that are coming to Supernova in Brisbane in November of this year.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Supernova is kind of like, yeah, I bet you fucking do. It's kind of like a dog shit comic con. Yeah, it's dog shit Comic-Con. It sucks, yeah. Yeah. When I saw the last one I went to when I was, shit, I don't even know. Maybe, I might have been, I would have been like 19, 18 maybe, maybe even younger than that. I saw, maybe even six.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I might have been four years old. I saw Ron Glass from Firefly and I saw fucking Billy D. Williams. You saw from Star Wars. I saw fucking Billy D. Williams. Holy shit. Yeah, saw a big ticket, big ticket actor, Billy D Williams. That was pretty fucking awesome. Watched him give a big talk where he didn't mention Star Wars basically at all for the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:09:44 It was awesome. It was very cool. You're like when you're going to get to the Star Wars stuff. Hey, tell us a few anecdotes about Star Wars. Wrap it up about the Buddhism. Okay? I want to hear about a Star Wars. I want to hear the full production history of all those cult 45 commercials you did.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I mean, yeah, I would have loved that. Yeah. All right, here we go. Elijah Wood. Pretty good. Good game. I'm going to go. I'm going to get a picture with Elijah Wood.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah, you're going to be wearing the fucking 300 bucks. I'm fucking Sailor Moon costume posing with Elijah Wood. Ask her even get. alien cosplay. Don't give them that. Come on. I'm going to bring my VHS copy of North. I don't want to be,
Starting point is 00:10:23 I don't want to make anything weird here, like in the podcast dynamic or anything. But if you want to kind of like a, sort of like an ugly, scruffy, short guy with like stubble and like short hair and stuff and like bad clothes. Yeah. You got any, you know anyone?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah. You just, I mean, yeah. Group cosby. Group cosplay? We have Elijah Wood at home. Yeah. Interesting. Kind of like a little guy.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Sean Aston. Okay, pretty big deal. We have discussed Sean Aston. Very excited. We have. He has been publicly complaining again about how much money he got from the Lord of the Rings movies. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:11:06 Does he do that? Apparently. Oh, sure. No. No, no. Independent production from New Zealand? How much money do you think you're going to make? Because they're making that the new.
Starting point is 00:11:16 fucking hunt for smigel bullshit. And so they're talking about bringing people back. And he was like, sure, I'd put that wig on for some decent money. But as it is, I got paid like 150 grand for doing Lord of the Rings. I don't know how much
Starting point is 00:11:33 I don't know how much actors get paid. Yeah. It seems like some of them are getting paid $20 an hour and the rest are on $40 billion a movie. Yeah. Well, I think, I think, you know, sometimes when people are making movies, they go, sure, I'll have a smaller salary.
Starting point is 00:11:49 But if the movie is a certain amount of successful, I'll get some from the back end or the residuals or whatever. Give me a taste the back end. I think this is a deal where none of them got a slurp of the back end. Yeah. So, in his case, he was like, either the back end or the residuals. He was saying, let me slurp the back end.
Starting point is 00:12:07 They're the residuals. Yeah. We'll see what's residual afterwards. Don't put it away yet. I'm coming for the residuals. He should have slipped the back end, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's the Lord of the fucking Riggs.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Why did he reckon that it was not going to break even? No one's going to come see the Lord of the Rings. No one's going to see that. This is going to be the cinematic event of the decade. Yeah. Don't worry about it. It's just the Lord of Rigs. He had to sell his house.
Starting point is 00:12:32 To be in the Lord of the Rings? Well, he was like, I signed up for this movie and I think he was saying that he had bought a house for $250,000 and that he got like $220,000 for $18,000. months of work doing these movies like back to back. And he said, oh, and I realized after signing up, that's not going to be enough money to pay for this house. And I sold that.
Starting point is 00:12:56 What are we doing, Sean Aston? But also, is he a worker? If you want him to put the wig on, give him some money. You know? I've got Alan Tudic and Gina Torres. So, Firefly's still going strong. Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball, a true underdog story? Steve the Pirate.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Also, he's the guy, the comedian whose material was about wanting his four skin back from the movie 28 days with, I think, Sandra. Sandra Bullock? Vigo Mortensen, was he also in that? I haven't seen that. I don't know. It came out in a very similar time frame. Two 28 days later, which I think was quite confusing. Three-tender humor?
Starting point is 00:13:35 A man, 28 days, very famous. Three-tender humor. James Mangold, what a film. Oh, man, Dominic. Sorry, Vigo Mortensen. Dominic. Best. Steve Mishimi, Alan Tudick.
Starting point is 00:13:47 What a cast. Diane Ladd. Is this a good movie? I don't think so. It's about her being an alcoholic. Oh. She's got to go to a 28-day alcohol promo. We tried watching a couple of those recently because I was like,
Starting point is 00:13:59 Elna likes rom-coms. So I downloaded like, you know, a bunch of old Sandra Bullock movies. Bitches be loving rom-coms. We can't help it. I will say, I don't agree with that. Man, they were making some movies that looked like music videos on MTV back then. Yeah. They were really cutting some shit together real wild.
Starting point is 00:14:17 There was that one she did with Ben Affleck, force of nature, I'm going to say. No, force of nature. Yeah. But yeah, they're all cut together to look like a fucking smash mouth video. It's wild times. Tucker and Dale versus evil? No fucking way, dude. We've got Transformers.
Starting point is 00:14:35 You guys know Anson Mount? Was he the Han Solo guy? No, that was Ansel Elgort. Oh, yeah, all right. Who is a really fucking... fucking good looking guy, Ansel Elgort. Like handsome fucking dude. No, sorry, Ansel Elgort is the baby driver.

I'm sorry, pal, I don't know what to tell you. You need to get a scar or something. You need to get like a Harrison Ford style.

Starting point is 00:17:07 Lincoln Lewis, also Australian. My wife, big Lincoln Lewis fan. Is that true? Yeah. Interesting. Oh, you know, he's from home and away. Lincoln Lewis. He's also...
Starting point is 00:17:18 Lincoln Lewis and asking, so do they... Was there like any extra chairs in your hotel room? Any... How many chairs would you say they were in toto? What are we got? What are we looking at? Only one. Well, I've been on my feet all day. Okay, so now we're out of the Australians.
Starting point is 00:17:38 We're into some other people here. Graham McTavish and Jed Brophy. I'll do these as a pair. Actually, no. Graham McTavish, Jed Brofie, Stephen Hunter. Three of them are in the Hobbit movies. Two of them are some of those fucked-looking dwarves that comprise the main cast of the Hobbit movies.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I don't like that. Really nasty looking, very unpleasant. No good. Oh, and he plays a real asshole in that 2008 Rambo movie. God, this is a good radio. This is one of the best episodes we have. Okay, finally. Sorry, this is the reason that we're doing this fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Lastly, on the list. You know him. You love him. it's Bruce Hopkins. It's gambling. It's gambling. It's gambling. We are doing something.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Something is happening. The vibrations that we're putting out into the world are being returned to us. They're being returned to us. When you told me to not look at the lineup, I thought it couldn't be gambling. There's no way it's gambling. It's not like gambling is just going to start popping up the moment we start talking about. This isn't confirmation bias, by the way. It's not like gambling has.
Starting point is 00:18:45 come to Brisbane every year for the last 15 years and we've only noticed now that we've started talking about him. Right. Yeah. I just put this, we've spoken this into the universe. Yeah. Okay. It's probably pretty cheap to get a picture with gambling.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I bet it costs basically nothing to get a fucking photo with gambling. Probably cheap. It's probably walking around Supernova. Photo? I mean, it will be for a little while. I'm a big fan, obviously, of gambling. I'm not saying that I undervalue, you know, what he's worth. think he's worth a million dollars to get a photo with gambling but i don't think a lot of other people
Starting point is 00:19:19 as i noticed on this podcast at the live show not everyone else is as sort of gambling focused as i am yeah i think he's going to meet a lot of uh bunta vista listeners be like wow sure is a lot of people here from me today something something going on i just found a figure of a bit of a gambling addiction i was trying to say that beat you to the joke and all it took was talking over every everybody else. I found a photo of him on a talk show with a with a hair lied and a general look that makes him look just like the announcer from the unknown video game from the 90s mega race. And that's a reference for just me.
Starting point is 00:20:05 I mean, it is a shocking likeness that you pointed out. Yeah. But for you, you could enjoy the photo. Yeah. And for those at home. You can enjoy the joy of Theo's voice. So in that theme of the vibrations that we put out coming back to us, I don't know if I've already mentioned this on the podcast yet,
Starting point is 00:20:27 but Jose Carreras, the unknown third member of the three tenors. The third tenor, yeah. The third nameless tenor, Jose Carreras, is coming to Brisbane in December. So November, gambling. December, the third nameless tenor, Jose Carreras. And because of what? The Buntar Vista bump?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah. What next, Ethan Hawke? What next? Ethan Hawke coming to Brisbane? Ethan Hawke coming to Brisbane next? Is that what's next? Surprise running at the bar that we go to all the time? We just end up in a really deep, interesting conversation.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Oh, do we're talking about life? We're talking about death. Just talking about life. Just shopping it up. Ethan Hawke sitting in the corner of the scratch for like four hours just talking to Lucy about art. And me. Isn't that be crazy? You can talk to me as well.
Starting point is 00:21:12 No, you keep getting called back behind the bar. You keep getting called. back behind the bar and saying what's that guys are you still having like deep jats and Lucy's like no we're not oh you want another another IPA
Starting point is 00:21:26 oh hey four more people walk into the bar bin oh hey if Ethan if Ethan Hawke did come to Brisbane I'd love to take him out to dinner and at that dinner perhaps there'd be a menu we talk about stuff that's on menus
Starting point is 00:21:42 it looks like menus back on the menu Looks like menu. Back on the menu, boys. This comes to us from restaurant business online. The birth of a new pizza style. Real wet when it comes out. It's all this maranara afterbirth coming out. Oh, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Jesus Christ. And it's coming out of a pussy, correct? Yes. Yeah. A beautiful Italian pussy. Oh, come on. Great radio. Okay, so you know, we've spoken a lot about the various...
Starting point is 00:22:18 I think we might be on the forefront of this as well, like on the various regional pizza styles. I think we dig deeper than a lot of places do. Australian comedy current events podcasts? We're definitely the best at our field, if that's the field that we limit ourselves to, yeah. I don't think any other Australian comedy current events podcast got to Altona pizza
Starting point is 00:22:37 within even like three years of us talking about it. We were sort of first to market on that one. But you never, you know, a lot of these are established where this is an interesting opportunity to see one come about in real time. So we're exactly on the pulse here, I guess, because it's only just been birthed. The US has spawned a wide variety of pizza styles from thin, crusted, foldable New York City slices to deep dish Chicago pies to the Detroit variety with crispy cheesy edges. Mike Do has drawn inspiration from many of them to develop his own style at Wayfaira Tavern in the Cincinnati's suburb of Dayton, Kentucky. Sorry?
Starting point is 00:23:17 Kentucky-style pizza? I'm quite hungover. Could you say that again? The Cincinnati suburb of Dayton, Kentucky. Dayton, Kentucky. Is that one word? Two words? What?
Starting point is 00:23:28 Dayton, Kentucky has a suburb called Cincinnati, or Cincinnati has a suburb called Dayton, Kentucky? Dayton, Kentucky. There's a suburb called Dayton, Kentucky. Cincinnati, which is in Ohio, correct? Yes. Dayton is famously in Ohio. Also in Ohio.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Also in Ohio. Yeah. So this is, I guess maybe... I don't know. Is Cincinnati on the border with Kentucky? Is that what it is? That this is just like an excerpt of Cincinnati that happens to fall into... Borders are fake, by the way.
Starting point is 00:23:59 To fall into... Like Dayton, Kentucky. Yeah. Right? But then isn't Dayton in a different place to where Cincinnati is? What's going on over there? So this is just the Dayton that is in Kentucky. Kentucky that is at the outer edges, I guess, of Cincinnati, Ohio because the city expands
Starting point is 00:24:21 beyond its borders. Expands into Kentucky? That's an Oklahoma City type situation, I guess. Okay. All right. I don't know. That's so fucked up. I stared at those words like 10 minutes yesterday.
Starting point is 00:24:32 What do you mean? What are we doing? What's Dayton, Kentucky style? Yeah. Well, the restaurant itself is something of a hybrid. Quite, kind of like a steakhouse that serves pizza instead of steaks, do said. What, so it's all bad?
Starting point is 00:24:48 How do you, what do you mean? We're a steakhouse, we're no good at making steaks, and we had to pivot. That's the best way to describe a pizza restaurant. It's like a steakhouse, but instead of steaks, it's pizzas. You get it. Yeah, we haven't got the word for that yet. It's a pizza house. Rather than serving calzone's and wings, the restaurant serves oysters,
Starting point is 00:25:10 Shrimp cocktail, carpachio, higher-end salads, and the like. All developed by chef Mikey Fabian. Yeah, we've been doing pizza shops with oysters and shit for a while now, I think. I feel like your signs don't determine what you are. It's probably the pizzas for me. Yeah. Also, oysters, shrimp cocktail, carpatcho and higher-end salads. I love high-end salad as concept.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. You know, they got canned walnuts and pear in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You put walnuts in there. Quote, at first some folks are a little confused, because we're not what they're used to seeing from a pizza place, do you said. We have nice cocktails and a really great wine list. We don't carry every light beer and flavored vodka there is.
Starting point is 00:25:54 We have Miller Light and High Life. I wasn't asking you. You have Miller Light and High Life. I don't even understand what the fuck he's trying to say. You don't carry every light beer and flavored vodka? Is that what a pizza place usually does? All of the light beers and all of the flavor. Any of the light beers?
Starting point is 00:26:10 I feel like you can get any of the light beers at any bar in the United States, I guess. But what is the counterpoint of saying we have Miller Light and High Life? Is that saying that they're better? Like more high-end? We don't have all of them, but we have the two that 95% of Australian, sorry, American men are ordering. Yeah. Although the food is firebens,
Starting point is 00:26:32 and the front of house is run by general manager Henry Bergen, the pizza is dues. Fuck you guys I think that might have You tell me Henry Bergen is running a pizza restaurant No the pizza's kind of like a steakhouse The pizza's dues right The pizza's dues
Starting point is 00:26:48 The pizza's dues I wish it was the pizza was don'ts You know The pizza is a book Yes Yes Yes A graphic decided by trade
Starting point is 00:26:59 But a dedicated home cook Doe began experimenting experimenting with pizza When he moved into a house With a pizza stone and peel Did you have to Like you couldn't make a pizza stone come to you The peel is kind of an odd touch
Starting point is 00:27:12 To me a little bit What's a peel? Pizza stone and the peel So these aren't like It's not like oh there was a pizza oven At the place I moved into These are Like these are
Starting point is 00:27:22 Why would you leave these with the house Very affordable accessories That can be used in any domestic oven Also they're not like things That you would leave behind right You're like oh I actually got into cooking Because I moved into a new house That came with a spatula
Starting point is 00:27:34 Now we're getting into some more interesting territory. Was the previous Italian owner raptured to some kind of Italian heaven? Yeah, I think it's raptured. I think a rapture has occurred here. Did they have that? Did you? Italians? Just Italian hell.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Italian heaven, yeah. We only have the one and we're all going there. Was there like perhaps a, was there, was the pizza peel like resting on the kitchen floor next to an empty set of plumber's overalls? A disembodied mustache, you know. You think the mustache gets left behind. He's a fourth bathe can't grow hair on his upper lip. That happens to some people, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It's gender-affirming. It's embarrassing to get raptured and have your hairpiece left behind. All getting to heaven and touching their lip going, what? God going, I didn't like that. I didn't like that you were doing that. Except he's Italian god, so you know what he's like. Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:28:33 Italian-American God. Oh! Yeah, I met God and she was Italian-American. Quote, I was aspiring to make New Haven-style pizza, but I learned quickly I didn't have the oven for it, he said. He went on to try grilling pizza, a technique invented in Providence Road Island at Al Forno, as well as attempting Neapolitan-style pizza from Italy, among others. look what I'm kind of stuck on is the idea that like he moved into a house and there was a pizza peel there and he was like I guess I'm making pizza now but also huh I guess I should quit this.
Starting point is 00:29:13 The type of pizza I can make is entirely dictated by the oven and the pizza peel and the stone in this one house I moved into. Yeah well I just like that sometimes you have to let the universe make a choice for you. That's so true. That's true actually. A 2011 trip to Austin, Texas, where Detroit-style pizza concept via 313 is based, turned him onto that variety and he discovered that that was something that he could make at home. So he's had Detroit-style pizza in Texas and he's been like, Eureka, this I can do. I figured it out.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah, this I can do. This I can do. The pizza isn't. Detroit style, but more of a square cut tavern style with the crispy, cheesy edges from Detroit. This isn't a new pizza that you're making. Yeah. Why have I just got to hear about a guy making some pizza? It sounds like he's making a Roma style.
Starting point is 00:30:11 It's sort of making a Roma style. I make pizza my style. I'm just here to make my own style of pizza. And I think I often achieve that when I make a pizza pie. I don't call it like Taringa pizza. That would be crazy. That would be crazy. If you're over a Ben's place and you're having pizza, you are having it, Ben style.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, that's right. And you'll be having a Ben style all nut. Quote, it's what I describe as a hybrid of several kinds of pizza, Duce said. The way I look at it, there's this bar-style pizza belt that runs from Milwaukee through Chicago to St. Louis and then across the Midwest through Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. And then it shoots out to New Jersey and up the Boston and their South Shore-style pizza. What are you talking? A pizza belt? What?
Starting point is 00:30:56 The pizza belt. That forms a line that runs through Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Dayton, Columbus, Ohio, New Jersey, Boston. That's not a belt, brother. That's not a belt. You can get a pizza anywhere. You can get it anywhere. You're in some Liederhosen, brother. Locally, that style is reflected at LaRas's pizza in Cincinnati, he said.
Starting point is 00:31:19 So that's the South Shore Boston-style pizza, I guess. do said his crust is closest to an east coast bar style pie like that of star tavern in orange new jersey but with cheesy crispy edges in the style of Detroit and sliced into midwestern style squares I'm gonna be real with you I don't think it's that important to really assign that much like geographical lineage to a pizza that you have just kind of whipped up at home
Starting point is 00:31:49 yeah it's okay to just say this is the way I like to make it you're getting out your skull calipers for your pizza because you're like oh I like the crust to be a bit thin and a bit cheesy and I cut it into squares I think that's fun you're like oh my god we've got to fucking ancestry dot com this shit
Starting point is 00:32:06 and find out where this pizza came from this guy unfamiliar with the concept of being creative or like inventing something yeah well I would go one further and say the top of the dog his slavish devotion to the 23 and meification of his pizza
Starting point is 00:32:23 means that he won't ever really invent his own style of pizza. If he had of just made his own pizza and then one day, if it really takes off, people will just be talking about it as Cincinnati Kentucky pizza. And they'd say it can all be traced back to one kind of boring guy who moved into a house one day. Instead, he's so busy trying to assign like, oh, well, it's kind of a 20% Chicago tavern style crust. you know that you're just you're showing everyone where you're borrowing from you're showing us all the seams let it be let it be show us the magic of your creativity and in like any creative pursuit you're drawing from so many influences that eventually at some point the broader strokes you can interpret but you can't pick all of the DNA of a given thing and be like oh this is just a pastiche of 90 things because that's not really how art works you look at it as a whole separate from the thing that it sprung from
Starting point is 00:33:22 He needs to just fucking relax and let people try the pizza and be like, this kind of reminds me of Detroit pizza and then leave it there. It's your pizza. You don't have to like explain it so much. Just call it Dayton, Kentucky pizza because you don't want people to confuse it with a Dayton, Ohio pizza, which is very different. God forbid. Very, very different.
Starting point is 00:33:41 This is a Dayton, Kentucky Cincinnati style pizza. Banned into Midwestern Tavern squares. This is Midwestern Tavern Square's cheesy Detroit. I mean, I always goes without saying, yeah. Taking a bite of my pizza and doing a big spit take. I thought that this was Dayton, Ohio pizza. Your menu didn't say which state it was the Dayton. So I would like, my money back, please.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Wrong Dayton. Oh, wrong Dayton on my pizza. When your mouth is expecting an Ohio-inspired pizza, you put something else in. Oh. You don't want some of those. Lawsuit coming straight back in the store wearing a neck brace. What's wrong of his pizza?
Starting point is 00:34:20 I think so hard, I got whiplash. Yes. What's on these? Yeah, isn't it? I would have forefronted with that. Personally, I don't know. Quote, it's kind of a best of all world scenario, he said. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:35 I mean, that seems subjective. Why don't you just make the pizza that... Make the pizza you like. You'll say, hey, I like this stuff in a pizza. Yep, yeah. Make the pizza you like. I don't want the best of all worlds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Just don't expect me to eat it. Because I kind of have a very specific kind of... like food preferences or a I've not food because I've made a lot of pizzas in my time I sort of just like I just like it how I like it You like a thin Neapolitan crust I like a thin Neapolitan crust I like a tomato salchay on top you know
Starting point is 00:35:05 Theo sitting down in every pizza place Thank you for saying tomato Italianly That was really beautiful Theo going to every pizza place Could you ask the chef if he can do it Theo style Yeah can he make it the way I make it home I'd like my safe pizza place I've bought a frozen bag of cheddar cheese
Starting point is 00:35:22 No, it tastes different from the one at home Everyone else think it's a little loud in here Shirt feels too tight It's cooked on pizza stones At a double-stack conveyor oven The same style of oven as Sexton's in Columbus, Ohio Okay, is that where we are? Does that matter? We've talked about so many different places
Starting point is 00:35:48 and styles at this point. This is insane how specific it's getting. Quote, I reached out to them to get a contact for this particular pizza maker do you said. Our messed up pizzas are few and far between. Like sometimes one will fall off the edge of the conveyor belt conveyor belt because someone wasn't paying attention. But in general, compared to what might happen with a deck oven,
Starting point is 00:36:08 the production is really great for ticket times, guest experience and cook experience because the cook doesn't have to look in the back of the oven or worry about forgetting something. What are we doing? Are we the audience? What's the audience? Who? For this podcast?
Starting point is 00:36:23 What are we reading? People that are interested in the insights of the pizza world, I guess. What is this show about? What is this show about? It's about the world and the changes in the world at the moment. He's about the world. We should have called this podcast, snapshot. And I think regulators should be stepping in to stop this man
Starting point is 00:36:43 from his chimera style experimentations on pizza. Don't chimera a pizza. Yeah. I don't want a freaking manticle. Yeah. You know? Yeah. He wants a man to call.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yes. Yes. Yes. For sex. Yeah. I don't want to fuck a weird like horse bird. Although. Don't knock until you tried it.
Starting point is 00:37:12 What's a man to call? Which one's a man? I think you're thinking of a hippo. I know. No. It's worse. It's a weird. It's a scorpion lion.
Starting point is 00:37:18 They got a crazy-ass tail. No, thank you. Oh, he's fucking. No, he's fuckable. Look at those fucking arms. Unless you're looking at the woodcuts from like the 17th century. I am. I'm looking at that guy.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Not looking so fuckable. A little less fuckable. Hey, Johannes Johnston in the Historiae Natarales. Maybe think about making a manticle a little more fuckable. Sorry, illustration next time. Think of the misbegotten beast from Eldon Ring, Theo. Remember that lion guy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I didn't think of him. Yeah. I didn't think about fucking him. Yeah. And being... I'm just jacking off.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah. Yes, the mantacour has a lion's body and a big scorpion tail, but human face, which kind of makes it normal to fuck him. It's perfect for one thing. Yeah. Kissing. Dew said that developing his own style of pizza not only means he can make it just as he likes it,
Starting point is 00:38:22 but he doesn't risk being accused of being... But he doesn't risk being accused of being inauthentic. That's such a fucking cop out. You don't want to be criticized for not doing it right so you make your own thing. That's a bad motive. Yeah. But also...
Starting point is 00:38:38 And if that's what you're doing and the reason you're doing it, fine, but you don't get to tell us the various inspirations and act like, you're claiming these components of other pizzas. It's always not doing it, so you're not doing it right. I think he just fucked it up. But at the same time, I made it. You made Detroit pizza wrong.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I made up. I came up with it. This is my. I like pizza. That's what the interview should be. Yeah. Tell us about your pizza. I like pizza. I like pizza.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I like pizza. Walk past him while he's standing inside the menu. I like pizza. That's great, pal. Because Jews, pizza style is his own, he can do what he wants with it. Quote, we don't have any constraints or rules. There's pineapple on some pizza, but we also have Korean corn cheese pizza, he said.
Starting point is 00:39:24 There you go. We did a Tiki night of Ed at our space and had a spam-Masubi pizza with spam, pickled ginger, and Furikake. We just have fun with it. Now, that's fun. That sounds great. That's awesome. If you'd led with spam-musubi pizza, I'm like, shit-y stuff. I'm interested. That's great.
Starting point is 00:39:39 That's fun. I don't really care that much about the base. You know? I don't care about it. A year and a half in, Do has promised profit sharing for Bergen and Fabian once they close the books on their first full year of business and is exploring the possibility of expansion.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Get that in writing. If I'm Bergen, I'm asking for that in writing, for sure. Quote, the way this first location has come together has been all about really great timing, including help from the Dayton City Manager and the building owner, he said. A very opinionated idea of what kind of neighborhood and building I want to go in, and I'm going to trust the universe to work in that same way did for the first one.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Pizza stone, pizza peel, inside the house you just moved into getting the perfect building. Sometimes the universe just provides. It does provide. And here we are talking about it on a very popular Australian podcast. Talking some shit on your salads.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah, yeah. I mean, we'd love to, all respect, even with your weird pizza genealogy obsession, would love to try some of your pies. Invite us over. Sponsor us. Sponsor us. Influencer trip. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do some videos about it. We'll do some content.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Hell, we're giving you free airtime right now. We got some listeners in Cincinnati. We've got some listeners in Cincinnati. If you're on the Kentucky side of Cincinnati, I guess, you should pop in. Check that place out. Hey, that restaurant probably has a pretty big team. And I bet sometimes they do some corporate team bonding events. It's time for corporate team bonding watch.
Starting point is 00:41:12 This is a press release from Axel's throwhouse Axel's throwhouse adds new experiences with star and knife throwing add-ons for groups and adventurers in Nashua. Oh. Okay, that actually sounds kind of sick. It does sound pretty sick. That sounds kind of sick.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I think it sounds stupid. Throwing some cool fucking ninja star. Oh yeah, Theo, you would hate to throw a throwing star. Yeah, that's dumb. Yeah. Because I would look, look, I would do very badly about it and then I would kind of be like sucking on a lemon.
Starting point is 00:41:50 and the entire time afterwards, like, about how stupid I threw the ninja star, okay? You bring it up too often to sort of like to look like you were trying to own it. Remember how bad I was at that? You guys remember how bad I was with the throwing stars? I think of guys are still joking about me in the group chat about how bad I threw the ninja stars. Yeah. I bet you're giving me an ironic nickname because of how bad I was with the throwing stars, which I'm fine with, by the way.
Starting point is 00:42:14 I think that's cool. You should call me ninja because I sucked at it. Do you think it's politically incorrect to call them ninja stars now? Because I do note that they're just calling them throwing stars. Oh, I think we should call them Shuriken. I think it's certainly... I guess if you're not a ninja, then you are just throwing a throwing star, right? Yeah, I just think they don't want to limit it to just ninjas.
Starting point is 00:42:36 You don't have to be a ninja to throw a throwing star. But it helps. It helps. Yeah, it helps a lot, actually. They do train a lot. It really, honestly, they trade you with that. Yeah. Yeah. Axle's throwhouse has introduced star throwing and knife throwing as new add-on experiences to its axe-throwing sessions.
Starting point is 00:42:53 As available as part of a standard axe-throwing session, the experiences give guests more ways to customize group outings such as social gatherings and corporate team building in New Hampshire. The new add-ons offer more variety for guests while building on its existing axe-throwing experiences at Axle's throwhouse. Rather than booking separate attractions, groups can now incorporate multiple throwing activities into a single visit. I hope they're on like a wall, you know, like in the, when John Wick's getting all those guns from that guy. And he'd be like, put that back up and like, no, I'm thinking it's shuriken time. Yeah, that'd be suit, dude. That'd be really awesome. That'd be super.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Have any of you been axe throwing? Yes. And only in a co-worker context. Oh, you've done the co-worker axe throwing. It's twice. Twice. It's very co-worker coded. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And the last time I went to one, it wasn't even because, like, our work will pay for literally fucking nothing. So I like drove to Sydney to go to a guy's farewell thing from work. And the thing that had been organized was axe throwing. And it like had a bar and everything. And I went and it was like, ooh, let me get a beer. It's like Friday. And I finished work and drove to Sydney for this thing.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Let me get a beer. And they were like, not if you're going to be throwing the axes. What? And I was like, yeah, but one beer is fine, right? and they were like, no, it isn't. And they refused to serve me until afterwards, which, in my opinion, it's like, what's the fucking point? So you throw the axes and then you drink?
Starting point is 00:44:23 I can't have three pints and throw an axe. It's fucking Dan Andrews. Level crossings, can't drink a beer before axe throwing? I'm sick of these shit. I thought the point was to get two beers. Two beers would make you so much better at axeling. Yeah, no, you can't even have two beers beforehand, which is outrageous to me. also I was the best at it.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Oh yeah, absolutely. Out of the group of people there. I just look at you and I know you'd be amazing an ax throwing. I know that for a fact. You're an athlete. You're a star. You're a star. You're a star.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Throw that axe for me. You're a star. That flexibility is particularly valuable for businesses, planning employee outings or appreciation events. With 15 throwing lanes, accommodating up to 90 participants at once and seating for up to 119. Axel Strohouse continues to position itself among corporate event venues
Starting point is 00:45:16 New Hampshire suited for both small and large groups. The venue also offers catering options, including barbecue and pizza as well as full service bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Full service. Now, I tell you what, Dan Andrews definitely hasn't got these grubby little fucking fingers over to New Hampshire. No, you probably can't drink and throw the stars. Oh my God, they're letting you drink.
Starting point is 00:45:39 It's America. It's New Hampshire. Everywhere. What's the fucking state motto of New Hampshire? I am throwing this at you. Live free or I will throw this axe at you. It's the fucking freedom state. Live free or whatever.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Live, die, freedom. Well, what's the fucking? Live free or die hard. Live free or die hard. I don't think it's live free or die hard. I believe that was the alternate title of die hard for. Oh, fuck, that's so easy. No, sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I think they did that classic thing where they, they release that movie as live free or die hard. And then in Australia, they had to release it as die hard for. Yeah, because none of us over here would know that the statement of New Hampshire is live free or die hard. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:46:25 you didn't ask us. They're not going to fucking tell you, hey, you can't have that cocktail before you start, like, throwing a bunch of throwing stars at once with your back turn to your,
Starting point is 00:46:35 like, HR manager or whatever. We should go axe throwing. We should go to that place, Ben, that's near that fancy, wine bar and we'll go to the wine bar first. Yeah, they won't know. They won't know. They can't tell that we've, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:48 They can't stop you. Which one? That lumber punks or whatever? That's got such a fucking terrible man. It was something real cringe. Lumberpacks. Yeah, we should definitely go. That'd be awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Hey, uh, did you see Ben that Texas has just banned the possession of any of the like Delta 8 and Delta 10 THC products? You can't fucking do anything anymore. And get this. They made it a felony to possess it. To get gas-stop weed? To get your fucking gas-stop-delt-rate. In Texas.
Starting point is 00:47:16 And as I saw someone point out today, you, like, drunk driving isn't a felony in Texas until your third conviction. What the fuck? I think everything's going to work out just fine. On-site experts, coach participants before each session throughout their visit. I love that. I'll kill you.
Starting point is 00:47:40 You're like a little bit tipsy, and you've just missed the backboard a bunch with your shuriken and one of the experts comes up, but he's like 15. Maybe if you adjusted your grip a little, fuck off. Fuck off, Trayden. Soft hands.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Fuck off, Trayden. I'm doing fine, okay? I just need to get my eye in. Just the fuck up, Bethany. Get out of here, Bethany. Piss off, Brethreny. I was actually drawing churiken before you were born, okay? I made my own churiken in the backyard.
Starting point is 00:48:10 It's a soccer style. It's a soccer style. G.I. Joe while it was being broadcast. Okay? I actually lived through the Margaret Thatcher Ninja Weapon Band. All right? I'm actually very across ninja weaponry. I am a Shinobi, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Can I get another one of these? Another frozen Mark, please? One more Applete, please. Frozen Appletini for me, Braden. Please. Thank you, Bethany. For added safety, each laid is separated from the deck. Next. Good call.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Really good call. Really smart. That's a good added safety measure that you've put in. A one-eyed throwing star venue owner reading this, circling divided lanes. Take this to the next weekly meeting. Oh, this is a solved problem. Okay. Guess what guys?
Starting point is 00:49:05 It's not impossible. The target area also includes an anti-bounceback system with protective wall in formats. It's such a great idea. Yeah. That's really smart as well. That scares me. The bounce back. The bounce back.
Starting point is 00:49:18 I mean, you've had a couple of frozen marks. You've thrown shuriken at the back walls. And unfortunately, you're hitting those back walls a little too hard. They've taken out your team lead. I haven't been in office at a long time. Yeah, no idea. Hey. My line manager.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I'll hit my back walls and tell me it's raining, okay? Yes. Correct. Yes. Exactly. The addition of star throwing. and knife throwing further expands the venue's activity lineup, gives organizations another option when planning team building activities in New Hampshire, while returning guests gain
Starting point is 00:49:51 something new to experience. I just think that's great. I think it's great that there are licensed venues where you specifically go there with people you don't really like to get drunk and throw throwing stars. And throw weapons, yeah. That's so beautiful. That's so cool. Hey, I wonder if you accidentally hit your project manager with a throwing star, whether that would be considered a crime. We talk about crimes in Crime Watch. Please put down your weapon. This comes to us from the Daily Voice in Westport, Connecticut. UPS mysteriously delivers $89,000 in marijuana to York County Funeral Home.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Thank you. Yeah. Hey, how about you put that in the bloody, uh, the bloody incinerator and we plays up. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Hotboxing at the funeral home. Hotboxing the fucking neighborhood. Hell yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:51:19 What's that riddle? The funeral man has it. the dead people at the funeral home don't want it but I like so. It's $90,000 of my weed. That's right. I think that was from fourth century Greece, I believe. A routine UPS delivery turned into an unexpected drug bust
Starting point is 00:51:41 after employees at a Pennsylvania funeral home opened a 27 pound package filled with marijuana and hashish that had been mistakenly delivered to one of its chapels according to Hefner family services. Marijuana. And Hashiich. Marijuana and Heseshishish. Am I stupid?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Are they different? I mean, one's like a concentrated form. Yeah, Hishishish is like the, you get the stuff off the top. It's the resin. It's sticky stuff, right? Yeah. Sometimes it's all you can get from a guy in a park in Paris, you know? You would prefer some weed, but instead you're putting that shit on your cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:52:18 It's not as good. It's not as good. You honestly didn't need to go through all of that just to get high in Paris, you know? fine. When I was in Lay in northern India which is a very, very small town
Starting point is 00:52:30 in the middle of the fucking Himalayas, the really annoying boyfriend of the woman that I was there with got a sort of got a rickshaw driver
Starting point is 00:52:41 to go around and ask all of the Kashmiri guys that he could find that he could find whether or not they had any hash just to try
Starting point is 00:52:48 to get him some hash while he was up there because he hadn't smoked weed in like four days and was dying and they were like no, all of the mountain
Starting point is 00:52:54 passes are closed we have no hash right yeah but what about for me a white boy yeah yeah well actually he was he was indian the guy that was asking okay wow really makes you think does yeah man he was cousins with one of the guys that acted in lost huh that's mildly interesting he's a really annoying guy package arrived friday afternoon july 24th at hefner funeral chapel and crematory on kenneth road and west manchester township after uPS had unknowingly returned it to the funeral homes address, company president Ernie Hefner told Daily Voice. The strange delivery came about 10 days after accounting staff noticed an unusually high
Starting point is 00:53:32 $778 charge on the funeral homes UPS account. After contacting UPS, employees learned the account had apparently been hacked and used fraudulently to ship a package overseas. That is also what I would say. Oh, that's... Oh, I got hacked. Oh, the hackers. I got hacked.
Starting point is 00:53:51 UPS reversed the charge and instructed the funeral home to change its account passwords hefner said when the heavy package arrived administrative assistant Alison Duke questioned it because no one was expecting a delivery
Starting point is 00:54:03 the box was addressed to staff accountant Jen Schaefer but listed Schaefer as both the sender and the recipient according to Hefner yeah interesting I know who I would talk to first huh it's an interesting poster on the wall behind you a big dead head
Starting point is 00:54:19 big fan of the Grateful Dead Huh? Interesting. You like jam bands, do you? That light bulb. Normal light or weeds. Just being like, I'll just get it delivered to work. It'll be easier.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I'll be there. Yeah, that way they can't. Because you know what, sometimes they don't even bother knocking. Yeah. Feuderal director Todd Eckert opened the package and discovered multiple vacuum sealed bags containing marijuana and bricks of hashish, Hefner explained.
Starting point is 00:54:48 After estimating the shipment contained about 27 pounds or roughly 12,700 grams. It calculated its wholesale value at approximately $89,000 based on average market prices. Yeah, I think it's probably about $87,000. Interesting move. Like weighing it and then calculating its street value.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I would just be like, he-he, free weed. Yeah. Also, like, which state did this happen in? This is in Pennsylvania. Do they not have... Do they not have it? I thought it was pretty widespread at this point. Like, even though it's like clearly,
Starting point is 00:55:21 a trafficking amount and not a personal use amount, but like, are they one... Speak to yourself. And what will you guys be having? Theo, how much weed have you smoked in the last 12 months? Zero.
Starting point is 00:55:38 That's not true. That's not true. I know. But how many times have you been standing in the same room as Andrew is a different question. Yeah, any time that I'm with Andrew. And one time when I was with, the band, the famous band.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Yes, there you go. That's correct. And whose weed was that? Who was standing next to you at a time? So they've only got medical legal in Pennsylvania, but I would still be like, hey guys, there's like 13 of us. Do you want two kilos of weed? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:16 What a testament to the incredible beauty of marijuana. that 12.7 kilos is like 90 grand. Like that's a shitload of money. But also, if this was 12.7 kilos of cocaine, $1 billion. It'd be $1 billion. It'd be $4 trillion.
Starting point is 00:56:33 It'd be $3 trillion. billion. Whereas this, you're like, okay, that's like, that's, you know, a new, very expensive car. But also, it would take me quite a while to get through 12.7 kilos of weight. Probably like a freaking weekend, am I right? And that number probably probably come way down.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I'm going to remove like the stems and stuff. Yeah, that's true. Let's shake it out all the seeds and shit that's in there. It's all seeds. The cops, the cops bursting through the door and turning them saying, yeah, I'd like to report a crime.
Starting point is 00:57:05 All the goddamn stems in here. We've actually revised our street value estimate down to about 25 bucks. This shit looks nasty, and we're going to leave it with you goodbye. I want to report. Someone's hacked a USPS. account and they've bought dead shit

According to UPS tracking information shared by Hefner, the shipment originated in Van Nuys, California, and was initially addressed to a recipient in Portugal. Oh, see? So the Portuguese is smoking that Californian Van Nuys,
Starting point is 00:58:22 Nyes loud? Yeah. Or I guess not in this case. I guess they're not now. Van Nise extreme mids. Yeah. They can't get weed in Portugal? Surely they've got people in Europe that grow weed.
Starting point is 00:58:36 You can't just do like a border hop to one of the countries that's a little less, you know? You can't get a... You can't just cross the fucking...

Starting point is 00:59:18 for the money and B for the cover yeah Yeah, sort of like it's someone else's money that you're spending under somebody else's name to do something illegal. Yeah, and it's sort of done its job. You didn't pay for the transit and they don't know who did it. They don't know who did it. So it's sort of like a risk-free thing for them. You did lose, you kind of got away with too. 12.7 kilos of flat out dog shit myths. Are we smarter than police?
Starting point is 00:59:44 I think so, yeah. Most people, yeah. I would someone, I mean, this is my. my job. I see this shit every day. It never makes any sense to me. I don't understand any of it. Every day I wake up and I go, why are they doing this stuff? Detective that's not hard-boiled, he's just stupid. I just don't understand it, man. Shit makes no goddamn sense to me. Like, morally, you can't make sense of it. I don't, why did they take the money? I don't follow. I don't follow. He brought a gun into the shop and then asked for it.
Starting point is 01:00:21 money? Why? What is all of this for? Can you ask a friend? Colmic McCarthy's The Stupid Cup. It's not even his money. He's not allowed to have it. It didn't belong to him. And wasn't the other person scared of the gun? That's not nice to do. That's just downright mean. He probably really scared him. I think this was definitely an episode of the podcast, Bonta Vista.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Thank you so much for joining us. As always, if these stories happened near you, you were involved in them in some way. You have a related anecdote. We really, really want to hear from you. Like, for instance, if like a beaver attack happened in your small town, any time in the last 10 years and you remember how funny the news article about it was. That's a good hook for us to read that news article even though it's not current. You know, we want to kind of keep it fresh.
Starting point is 01:01:34 But if you've got something relevant, we'd love to talk about it. So please send that through to us. We have had roughly 30 emails about the fact that they are finally getting rid of the stinky fish sauce. Yes, got a lot of messages about the fish sauce smell. Now, I was going to read an update article out on the show, and then I saw that Defector did it, and now I've lost the... The boner is gone. I can't get it up for the news story anymore because, you know, someone in a similar ecosystem is interested in it. And that's just sort of how it works for me, and that's my body, and I listen to it.
Starting point is 01:02:08 I don't try and force it. I don't get mad. I've just cuddled. Yeah. And you won't listen to my body when I'm, like, sitting on your couch or whatever. He's talking about farting on my couch. Remember that time I fired it on your couch? Remember when I was really bad at throwing the shirican?
Starting point is 01:02:26 Was that the old couch or the new one? I don't think he's farting on my new couch yet. I'm not just drawing attention to this. Okay, so the land room's all right. Interesting. Yeah, dude, it's so good. I bought a new, like a new couch for the first time of my life. It's amazing.
Starting point is 01:02:39 It'd be a real shame if someone farted on it. Genuinely. Nice super A-mart couch. You'd be a shame if there was a lot. a fad on there. It's fantastic furniture, actually. I take that back. Thank you so much for listening. If you want more of this podcast,
Starting point is 01:02:55 Patreon.com slash Buenavis, we record two episodes every week, rain, hail, or shine, except for the roughly two weeks every year that we take off. But there's a lot of shit in the back catalog, and some of it quite good. Some of it good, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Hey, some of it, not that bad. The stuff that's bad is not that bad. It's not bad. It's like pizza. It's like even if it's bad. It's still pretty good. Not that good. It's a very bell curvy kind of podcast.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Nearly everything falls exactly in the middle of the thing. Please check that out. It's better than we're making it sound. We will talk to you on the bonus episode, hopefully. If you have original pizza we've never discussed, please let us know. Thank you. Good night. Stay safe.
