Welcome to Buentevista, it is episode 50. That's right folks. The podcast is 50 years old. Jesus. The podcast is middle-aged. I'm Andrew. I'm Andrew and I'm here with Ben. Hello. Hello. And also Lucy. Hi Lucy. Hi Lucy. Hello. I'm havon I'm having a I'm Andrew and I'm here with Ben. Hello. Hello. And also Lucy. Hi Lucy. Hello. I'm having a midlife crisis. Yeah. I'm going to go buy a sports car and date a 17 year old. 18 year old. Yeah, good. 17 and 11 months. Yeah, yeah, we're here for a big special anniversary episode. Because it also very

recently was one year since we started doing the podcast. Wow, unbelievable to think just recently it was our one year anniversary and today it's our 50th anniversary. Yep. Unbelievable. We looked it up. It's gold. So if anybody would like to send gold bars, gold bullion. I'll take some bullion. I know that in our group chat before and Lucy had been like, it's silver and I had just instantly sexistly assumed that because she was a woman she was 100% correct about it. It's horrible. It's still work to be done. Yeah, all those 50-year-long relationships Lucy's had. Oh dear, oh dear. So

so yeah, thanks everybody for listening for long enough for us to get through 50 episodes and here we are at the very last one. We did it folks. I don't want to... I don't want to ruin the mood. Are we certain that it's episode 50? Not because I think you have fucked up remembering it this time. I think that's part's probably fine. I think at some point it's a numbering system between the bonus episodes, the regular episodes, might have been sketchy. Oh, that's not including bonus that's not including bonus episodes. This is just public episodes. So we've probably done more like 80 something episodes.

Huh. Well, that's, I mean, that's even better. I thought anything could have been possible. I feel like it was a month or two in before we started doing a weekly bonus episode. And there was maybe like one, one week over Christmas where we didn't do one and one time that we just fucked up so tragically that we said we threw up our hands and said it's the one time no episode this week which is why it makes sense. We're number 50.

500 subscribers that day and all of them were deserved. I even, I'm looking right now at the SoundCloud and the last episode was, episode 49. Much obliged. Well, good on us. It's a lot of work. I respect us. Is they much obliged? I did. So it's a pun when it's written, yeah. But not out loud. Well that's why I kind of said, obliged. I would have thought it would much obliged. Yeah, yeah maybe. Much obliged, Jared Blige's name because he got mad at Lucy and well no sorry he made a he made a video and posted his Facebook and Twitter about how not mad he was. That was that was honestly, it's incredible. It was such a good day. That was like the video was one of the first things I saw when I woke up. Like I just immediately reached my phone.

I was like, oh, the fucks everybody talking about? And I was just like, oh, it's incredible. It's so good. It's like it's almost, I mean, it's such a juvenile attitude to the internet, but at the same time,'s so incredibly satisfying to piss someone off so much that you get their attention. Yeah. It's very gratifying. It's very gratifying. And I my favorite part by far was the bit in the video where he said this stuff doesn't offend me so you know I don't even I don't even care as I continued in my

professionally produced video with multiple edits, it was very good. Folks, if you weren't aware, go back and listen to the last episode because Lucy managed to make the former Attorney General and Justice Minister of Queensland mad. And he's a real piece of shit too, so you know, no one needs to be upset about it. Yeah, that's Sweden's the pot. Yep, Lucy got to learn about Jared Blige that day as well. I had no idea who it was. Someone tagged me in his video and I was like, who's a fuck? I was reading out his litany of crimes against the great state of Queensland and Lucy was like, this guy's a real piece of shit. And he is.

Yeah, he is indeed. Yep, so a big fuck to you, Jared Blanche. Folks, we got some important Australian news on the slate for you. You guys like Australian news? I'm speaking both to you guys on the show and also rhetorically to the people listening. I was going to let the audience answer first. That's very polite of you. So let's take a pause just for a minute.

Everybody yell at your phone, your car speakers, whatever you're listening to and on the moment. Especially if you're on a train. Yes or no. So I'm just going to throw it out there now. Hey, do you like Australian news? Perfect. Okay. I was. I was. I was. I was. And in the wake of your answer, folks. Boy, do I have good or bad news for you. Boy, do I have good or bad news for you? The world's first interactive podcast. That's right, that's right. We've got really important news for you, like a spleys from the Sydney Morning Herald by Angus Thompson about

a police officer who flicked his colleagues genitalia losing his court appeal. Very... I feel like it's a very Australian news story. All the American ones are like shot six babies in the face, placed on pay with double leave. Sorry, placed on leave with double pay. But this one, no, a testical flicking officer has failed at a court of appeal bid to brand a harassment investigation, unfair because he was denied access to the identities of his accusers.

Couldn't he just like go through his mental list of people whose balls inflict? Well, it sounds a lot in the story like he did in fact have a mental list of people that he is more than likely offended. Fairfield Senior Constable Shane Somersford received a warning following claims that he had exposed his testicles to other officers, flicked colleagues genitalia and poked them on the buttocks. He launched Supreme Court proceedings alleging he was denied procedural fairness as he was unable to view the complete contents of the witness statements against him.

The court saga was sparked by an anonymous complaint made in March 2015 that senior Constable Summetsford had exposed parts of his genitals to co-workers, inappropriately toucest them and used sexually charged and obscene language. Imagining he said things like boobies. Boobies and tiddy balls. Detective Inspector Stuart Cadden from Fairfield Local Area Command began the investigation after getting an anonymous complaint, the complaint named 25 potential witnesses. Wow.

Yeah, this guy sounds like he's the real spark plug at the office. And when you can safely say, yeah, that, oh, oh, can I think of anyone else whose genitals he's touched or shown his balls to? Here's a short list of 25 of my colleagues. And the second of two interviews, senior Constable Somersford complained that he didn't know the names of his accusers. According to Justice Payne. You got to say it like that. That is a great name. It's a great name. He quote, he said that if he had known he could have told Inspector Cadden whether they had it in for him and whether their statements were likely to amount to reprisals.

End quote. Adding that the officer declined to identify anyone he suspected of holding a grudge. I really like the idea that, I really like the idea that if there was like workplace complaints against you from like, you know, two dozen people that a sufficient defense to that is saying, well you tell me who they are, and I'll tell you if they probably got it in for me. And if they do, we can just cross their name off the list. I mean, I imagine he probably wouldn't be wrong in that they have it in for him because

he flips their balls. He keeps, he keeps touching my balls. I got, I'm just kind of stuck on the fact that, it's that he flicked people's balls, poked people's buttocks, and also exposed his own balls. Like, I don't, I don't, what are you getting out of...

What's the common thread between those three actions, right? Like, I guess, oh, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm thicking thicking thi, I'm the the the the the the the the their their the fact, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the fact, I, I, I, I, I, I, I the fact, I, I, I, I the fact, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, thi, thi.k thiaking thiaking thia, thiaking, thia, thi.k thi. It's thi, I'm just just just just out of... What's the common thread between those three actions, right? Like, I guess, oh, I'm poking you in the butt, oh, I'm flicking your balls. Ah, I'm flicking your balls. Ah, I'm a weird exhibitionist part of it, being like, oh, I've flicked your balls? Now, look at mine. Look at mine. You want to flick? the ball.

Maybe the entire thing is an elaborate exercise and goading other people into flicking his balls. I've flicked your balls so much. Look at, look at mine, they're out.

Oh, you can take such a shot at my balls right now. Ripe for the flicking. I'm stretched them. I'm a to to to th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm thriched. I'm a thripped.

I'm the th they'll make a really good elasticy twang if you do it. I'm not a guy who loves like the sack tap at the best of times, you know? I'm not a fan. How do you feel it the worst of times? Not a fan. I don't enjoy it. It's not my kind of horseplay, you know. And that's also not in a professional environment. It's not my kind of horseplay, you know. And that's also not in a professional environment. I'm not at work any of the times that that has ever happened to me, which I will probably limit to high school.

Probably say being sacktapped by a footy player in high school is about the extent of my experience with it. I, like, I kind of feel like the first time it has a first time it has. It happens. It has a that. It. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, it, that, it, that, that, that, it, that, that, that, that, it, that, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's, that's not, that's not, that, that school is about the extent of my experience with it. I like, I kind of feel like the first time it happens to you at work, the conversation immediately after that is going to be, uh, no, I don't need anybody touching my balls at work, let alone striking them. Flicking at him. Come on, buddy. Now, in his defense, Senior Constable Somersford, in his defense, senior constable. Oh, this is not me, I'm like, oh, wow, this is going to get strange. Got to see both sides, man. Got to see, got to see both balls. Senior Constable Summersford said that he would flick colleagues' groins as others had done to him in his police career, very normal, but that he didn't make contact.

Now, there's a lot to out of fact there. Big hole, big hole in the logic there. I would flick people's groins which like I guess he's flicking at people's groins. Yeah but if that's what you meant you'd say I was flicking at someone's groin you know it's like the difference between like threatening to snap a towel at somebody and actually doing it and you know given them a well or something if somebody said hey this guy snapped me with a towel, and you could be like, no, no, no.

I snapped it at him. It made a noise, didn't get him. You wouldn't say, yeah, I like whipped this dude with a towel, but it didn't make contact. That's very strange. I think it is important to keep in mind that he is a cop, so his command of language is not necessarily going to be extremely good. Yeah, that's fair.

He denied that it was, quote, sexually based, and that anyone could believe it was harassment, and that anyone could believe it was harassment, although he acknowledged it must stop. Oh, he denied that anyone could believe it was harassment. I feel like a lot of anyone could believe it was harassment. Although he acknowledged it must stop. Like a lot of people could believe flicking people in the balls and is harassment. At work, yes. Repeatedly flicking your 25 colleagues in their groins.

I would say that there is no form of intimate relationship bar a very, very specific form of very communicated sexual contract where flicking someone in the balls is fine. Like even if I had been married to someone for 30 years, if I just like rolled over one morning and they were just like, oh, gonna do it, just flicked me in the balls, I'd be like, that's bad. I'm upset by this. I'm upset by you deliberately striking me in a very sensitive part of my anatomy.

I'm gonna say it. And I don't care if this is controversial. Yeah. Don't flick people. Yeah. Just in general, I think. The balls are like specifically. Yeah. But just generally too. I wouldn't appreciate it. I would even appreciate it. Have anyone do that thing here where it's like a super cold day and then so on flicks your ear fliking?

Oh, I was just about to get the ear flicking. Oh. I wouldn't even be cool if somebody was like coming up and flicking the back. Like, I would the thu- Like I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thi. I would thi.

Like what the fuck are you doing? I generally don't want people to touch me at work. Yeah, so I work from home. I always think that this makes me a big freak but like I'm not a I'm not a touchy workplace dude. Like I see a lot of people who do like a lot of a lot of hugging, a lot of enthusiastic shaking hands, back slapping and shit and I'm like working in in an office, there's almost no reason for us to have to make any physical contact with each other at any point of a day. No one should have to stand within a meter of another person at an office unless the urinals are weirdly close together. Hmm. Yeah, that's fair. I will say this, Senior Constable Constable Summersford, he denied poking anyone in the buttocks or exposing his testicles.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I flicked some balls. That's normal cop stuff. Had my balls flicked, I flicked some balls. It's regular cop business. I did not, and I will not poke anyone in the butto to'c-ock. Superintendent Peter Lennon, Fairfield Local Area Command, issued Senior Constable Summersford a warning after finding that the officer had, quote, flicked officer's testicles, poked

their buttocks and exposed his testicles, and made inappropriate comments of a sexual nature about colleagues' wives when he referred to them as cunts. Oh, boy. I love that because it's got the formulation of we're not going to tell you what it is. We're just going to say he made inappropriate comments. That's incredible. Refer to them as C.Dash, Dash, dash, dash, which in Australia we all know that. It could have been Cox.

I guess. Grow up in. Grow up. Now, coming back to what you were saying about his reading comprehension might not be the best. Senior Constable Somersford appealed on several grounds, including that the material provided to him during the investigation was quote, vague, imprecise, lacking specificity, and left the appellant confused. But I don't get it. Oh my goodness. Yeah, fire that dude. That's fine.

It's totally fine. And while you're at it, fire every cop. So he did, like, all of them. I should say though, this is him, as far as I could tell, he's not getting fired or anything. He was appealing, receiving a warning about this. Yeah, that's weird. I would have assumed that police just kind of like collected warnings on their records as like a ranking system. They're basically like achievements. Like, oh, wow, two people have died in your custody. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi heat heat heat heing he getting he getting heat getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting he getting that's getting that's getting that's getting that's getting that's getting that's getting that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. he thi. ranking system. They're basically like achievements. Like oh wow two people have died in your custody. That's pretty good we'll take him. Nice. Well maybe it's like lethal weapon and shit you

know where the more complaints you get the more they're like ah he must be a loose cannon therefore he must get results. So you just go together. They go hand in hand in hand. Oh dear. All right guys if you had to have one to to to to to to to to have to have to have one to have one to have one to have one to have one to have one to have one to have one part to have one part to have one part to have one part to have one part to have one part to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to to the. the. to their their their their the All right, guys, if you had to have one part of your anatomy flicked once a day by a shitty colleague, what are you picking? I reckon the butt cheek is not a bad spot to be flicked. If you get right in the center of the butt cheek, it's so cushioned. Yeah. It's not going to really hurt to my mind. It's a little bit

sexually aggressive though isn't it? A flick? Is it a flick sexually aggressive? I would feel weird if my co-worker flicked me on the bum. I guess this touched your bum. Maybe it may be different, bear in mind, yeah. Bear in mind, yeah. All of your co-workers are really hot that that that tho-in thi. I was going to say bear in mind in this context it's a shitty colleague that you do not like. I still want to be a spot. And every day they come past once and they flick him. I feel like my ass will just absorb all of the strength of the blow. Hmm. Hmm. Fair. Take one flick to the chest. Oh, no. Don't have titties? That'd hurt.

No. Yeah. How hard do you think he's flicking you? It's right above the bone. Go on. Are you just all bones, men? Mostly? I'm 10% water.

80% bones, uh, 10% true. I'm 10% water, 80% bones, 10% teeth. Just a cushioned butt. 10% teeth. Oh dear. What about you? Lucy, where's your... I'm going to be boring because I definitely don't want to be flicked on the chest or buttocks. So I'll take the, I'll take the upper arm. It's a nice nice little

cushioned bit of muscle there. Oh maybe on you. Yeah on me. Body shaming now Ben no I mean I mean in that she has muscles that's the opposite of body shaming. Thank you. There we go. Well yeah next nexttogether we'll all flick each other as colleagues do. I just love that... Please don't flick Theo. Anywhere. On any part of the body. And if you are going to be breathing around him, please angle it away from his body. Gentle, gentle breathing.

So, folks, Amazon.com, no more shipping to Australia from July 1st. Take that, Australian consumers. So, more little turd in your mouth? How you like that one? I, this, so I felt mixed about this. Because, you know, like, I get the idea that we should... All right, I'm gonna tell you exactly what my thought process was. We're going to make Australia great again, got it.

Yeah, that was the four steps in the process, make Australia great again. Now I was like, oh, look, fair enough, that maybe we should be paying taxes in Australia. And then I was like, well, no, it's a sales tax, so it's kind of a regressive tax and really the burden of the tax bank should be on the companies, on the consumer. And then I was like, well, we're just fucking giving money to fucking Jeff Bozo's. If you know who I'm talking about. Nice, nice. That sucks. And then, ultimately, the galaxy level brain meme. I was like, oh, no, that's where I buy a bunch of my VHS VHS VHS VHS VV-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-fix-a-a-s. tha-a-a-a-a-s. that's that's that's tha-s. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to to to to to to to to to to to to to that's to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th-a. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. th-s. theee. tha. thea. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. theea. tha. tha. tha where I buy a bunch of my VHS tapes from.

Suddenly it all starts to hit a little close down. Yeah, now it's personal. From the AFR, Australian consumers have hit out at Amazon's decision to stop online shoppers from importing products and it's overseas e-commerce. Yeah, people don't really talk about e-commerce anymore. No, it's just just buying shit. Just buy and shit off a site. We just call it commerce now. When the new goods and services tax regime comes into effect in July. From July 1st when the GST will apply to overseas purchases under $1,000, Australian shopping on Amazon overseas sites such as Amazon.com UK will be redirected to the Australian site, Amazon.com. that are you, which offers about

60 million products across 23 categories. Amazon will no longer ship from its overseas sites to address as in Australia. Instead, Amazon has established a global store option on its Australian site offering more than four million products that were previously only accessible from Amazon. And we'll collect and remit the 10% GST on these sales. However, the Global Store will offer a fraction of the 480 million products now available on Amazon.com. Yes, this is another, I feel like there's a lot of things in Australia like online shopping and pay TV and previously our car manufacturing market all that sort of thing where we just had these industries that completely, well

not just pay TV but also free to air TV industries that just completely refused to make any kind of effort to adapt to what was a very clearly changing world market and waited for way too long until they were very behind the eight ball and then just said government make it really hard for people to get other stuff so that we don't have to change anything. That's how I feel about free-to- air stations and they're like they're on-demand apps and all that sort of stuff. They'll just... Love our Netflix selection. I love the 10 movies on Australian Netflix. Oh it's great isn't it? So good. I like to

have them recommend the movie that I watched two movies ago as the movie I should watch next. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's all to do with the complaints of people like good old withered Cron, Jerry Harvey, who's the billionaire retailer who owns the Harvey Norman chain where you can go if you'd like to get a fridge for more than a fridge is worth. You know I went on an impassioned rant a while back about Super Amart. I feel even worse about going into Harvey Norman. I fucking hate Harvey Norman. They are just horrible spaces full of depression and emptiness.

They are just they have an unbelievably large footprint just in terms of size, and an extensive range of furniture, none of which is affordable or good, and there's no one in the fucking stores, and the music's always down really quiet. So you fucking, you go in there. I went in, just looking for, like, to see if they had a specific kind of bookshelf that I wanted. They fucking, of course didn't. But it took me like 20 minutes to walk across the floor and back again. And the whole time there's like these scattered sales people.

You know, there's like five of them in this space that is like the size of a football field. All of them just watching me the whole time. I feel feel the the the th properly. Like, it's fucking horrible. I hated it so much. I enjoyed an experience recently. I was buying a, was buying like a Wacom tablet and I looked on, and I wanted it like pretty quickly. And I looked on the office works site because they sell them and I looked on like Harvey Norman and both of these sides gave me the same excellent experience which we're all used to in the year 2018 which is I went on there and I said I would like a waycom tablet and I searched for it and they said we have the waycom tablet that you want.

And I said, cool. And I went in there and I was like, how much is it? And they were like, this much? It's reasonable. And I said, cool, let me just add that to the cart and order it. And they said, yeah, you do is have it sent to a store that's near you and you can go to the store and get it and I went what the fuck is the point of ordering something off the internet if I just got to go to a store to buy it okay well I mean I think you're oversimplifying it a bit there I felt like I

was going crazy man if you if you just bought it from a shop, you would have had to have gone to a shop. Whereas this way, you're ordering it. Oh, no, no, I can see what your problem with it is. Yeah, no, that's terrible. No, well, see, what I've always wanted about like going into a store and seeing if they have a the product, their a their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, tho, and, th. thi. thi, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.......... to, to... to.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thin. thin. thi. thin, too. too. too. too. too. tooo. too. too. too. too. too. too. too, too, and then if they've got the product picking it up and take it to the counter and paying for it. What I've always wanted to happen there is to introduce an entirely separate step and several days in between where I have to wait for the thing to arrive at the stock.

It's called slow shopping and it's about mindfulness. Like I assume it's probably something to do with just like basically, I don't know, helping them manage their stock levels. Yeah, instead of actually forecasting demand. Why take up space in a store? I might know why this is. Because no one buys anything from Harvey Norman. So they could only afford to get like three tablets

across all of the stores. And then just move them around. Who buys things in Harvey Norman? Is it just like middle-aged people? Okay, so the reason that I went into one the other day and was looking for some furniture, is because George wanted to buy a fucking neutral bullet, which I, firmly on the record, being against we already have blenders don't fucking need a neutral bullet whatever it's fine she bought the neutral bullet

didn't she well she didn't buy it from Harvey Norman I think fuck or I would have been that's just that's a horrible insult if that had been the case she ended up buying it from the good guys, which I find similarly crazy. Because of the name, it's right there in the name. They're the good guys. Good guys and national chain as well, do you guys get those in the south? Yeah, we got them. Yeah, they're one of those weird things where? Shocking stuff. I'm sorry to hear it, Ben. Thank you very much.

Well, Jerry Harvey, of course, big prick that he is, he's always complained about online shopping being quote, un-Australian. And in 2016 he had this to say so, yeah, online shopping is un-Australian because you can just go on the internet and pay a reasonable price for a thing and it comes to your house. Okay. Because what Jerry Harvey would really like is for you to continue to have to go into his abysmal stores and pay way more for something that's worth. Ideally, I'm sure he would like you to not be able to compare the prices of things things things things things things things things things things things thiii things things things thii. thi. thi. to go to go to go to go. I to go. I to go to go. I to go. I's to go. I'm to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go to go to go to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I's to go. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to you to not be able to compare the prices of things in his store to things anywhere else. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys like mobile phoneborders that are on inside

having normal. There's no way you're accessing the internet while you're in here. It's all guesswork. That's right. So yeah he he's a great guy who's campaigned very hard to bring in this lowering of the G the G the G the G the G the G the G th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. thi. thi. toe. to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. th. So. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. te. te. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. So, toe. So, toe. So hard to bring in this lowering of the GST threshold on just every item, not just things over a thousand dollars. So here's a little snippet from 2016 to give you an insight into the mind of the man that we've just done this great big favor to. Here's a 2016 new story. Billionaire retailer Jerry Harvey says Australia has been ungovernable since John Howard was dumped from office and claims that the only cure for the nation's

broken democracy hamstrung by years of dismal infighting is to install a dictator. Holy shit, he's going Latham. Yeah, I mean, sure you're not making as big a profit off your retail empire as you used to be. What's the natural solution to that? Blame the whole country, obviously. Whole country, dictatorship. It's A to B, really, you know. Connect the dots. It's obvious.

Jesus Christ. If you think about it for even a second. He has brain disease. Hmm. Speaking of brain disease, Channel 9 has failed to get their racial vilification complaint against Sonia Kruger thrown out. So I don't know if you guys remember I'm pretty sure that we talked about this on an episode long ago. Although it was a... maybe it was before we even started doing the podcast. It was like two years ago. I feel like it might have been... I don't know, was it? Yeah.

Uh, I feel like it must have been... Because I'm pretty sure we wrote about it for SBS comedy, which means it would pretty vague for this. It's probably before the podcast. So to give you the context folks, to give you the context from an article on BNT.com. A.U.B.T. magazine which when you read it in URL it looks like it's a website for Adam Bant, the Greens, the Greens, but it's not. It's just spelled the Greens, the Greens guy, but it's not. It's just spelled the same. Kruger sparked controversy almost two years ago during an appearance on the Today Show,

where she recommended that the government put a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, endorsing an article by a news callinist and friend of the show, Andrew Bolt. Let's take a listen to this clip from exceedingly sensible woman, Sonya Kruger. Or is it actually really simple? I mean personally I think Andrew Bolt has a point here that there is a correlation between the number of people who are Muslim in a country and the number of terrorist attacks. I have a lot of very good friends who are Muslim, who are peace-loving, who are beautiful people, but they're fanatics and does the population and the correlation between those two things, is it having an impact? I mean, if you look

at Japan, Japan has a population of 174 million, it has 100,000 people in that country who are Muslim. We never hear of terrorist attacks in Japan. Personally, I would like to see it stop now for Australia because I want to feel safe as all of our citizens do when they go out to celebrate Australia Day. And I'd like to see freedom of speech and Lisa I think you know we're seeing journalists threaten. I'm like to see freedom of religion as well. Ah, Sonia, you're big dummy. Yeah, I seem to remember us talking at some point about some of those big stinky furfies. Like, who was it? We talked about it on an episode, somebody bringing up the, there's no terrorism in Japan thing.

Oh, when was the last terrorist attack in Japan? Japan is also very, I won't say racist, I will say nationalist. But they also have like those incidents like the guy in the last year or two who like drove a truck through tons of people at a festival and murdered heaps and they had that guy who like massacred all the people in a nursing home with knives and... Oh yeah, normal shit. Normal stuff. They've absolutely had like these mass murders and horrifying incidents and stuff, but yeah, because the person who did it wasn't a Muslim, they go, oh, well, that wasn't a Muslim

terror attack, so it doesn't count. And, yeah, so you still have all of these these wild attacks for people. But you know, so she she popped off about that and caught a bunch of shit for it quite rightly. She then she also put up an Instagram post. If I can read you this famous quote, following the atrocities of last week in Nice where 10 children lost their lives, as a mother, I believe it's vital in a democratic society to be able to discuss these issues without automatically being labeled racist. Should have just said as a mother and I would have all just come flooding back

to me. Yep. As a mother. As a mother. Absolute classic. Yeah, I mean as a mother. As a mother. As a mother. As a mother. Absolutely classic. Yeah, I mean, as a mother, of course, you think things are vital in democratic societies. It's mainly related to being a mother. Just so transparently like deployed as a shield against criticism. Absolutely ridiculous. So, so yeah, somebody made a complaint to the civil and administrative tribunal, I believe, a racial vilification complaint. And they said, look, obviously, you know, she's complaining about Muslim people living in Australia. It's pretty, pretty obviously racially motivated and everything. And so that was dismissed in the last day or two, and she is going to have to front up to the tribunal.

Now, there was a post from Tim Matthews on Twitter who you can find at Tim P. Matthews. I thought you would enjoy his bio Ben which says law, crime, queer. All right. I do. I do. A little rainbow at the end. And he just posted the thing saying, 9 network and Sonia Kruger failed to have a racial discrimination case against them kicked out.

They tried to argue that, quote, Muslims living in Australia, end quote, are not a group of, quote, ethnor religious origin, and quote, within the meaning of the Anti-Discrimination Act, 1977. So I love that she basically instructed her lawyers to use the defense of Islam is not a race. Just in fancier words. Uh, yep. It's interesting that they specify that as in Australia, as if Australia has a unique history of white Muslim, well, yeah, white Muslim immigrants, well, I'm not immigrants, sorry, like, white Muslims. Like, we don't really have an existing

culture of that at this stage. But, uh, yeah, so I think that is funny, and I hope that she eats a big turd at that thing. Oh, fingers crossed, she is ordered by the court to eat a big turd. I hope she gets up there on the stand. It goes, like, like, like, like, like, like, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, th, th, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thi, thus, thi, thus, the the the the the their, their, is ordered by the court to eat a big turd. Ace one turd. I hope she gets up there on the stand and goes, as a mother, is not a race. Ooh, delicious tud. Common punishment for our international listeners. Yeah, it's...

We've got the giant boot and... The turd. While everyone watches. We got all the big bananas, we got all those sorts of things, we got up big turd. Oh dear, speaking of idiot, idiot racists, Channel 10's Hugh Rimmington is also reporting that Malcolm Farr says that Pauline Hanson wants to drop Senator Brian Burston from number one on the New South Wales Senate ticket she's keen on getting Mark Latham. Hell yes. Please do it. My goodness. Did you see I

think this clip might have just gone up before we went on the clip of her crying on Sky News describing how... You sure she wasn't just talking? Ah no, she was actually in tears talking about Brian Burston betraying her because he didn't get the number one spot on the thing and... I reckon they had sex. I reckon there's something going on there and she's very emotional about it. You think they were flicking each other's genital flicking going on? So yeah, she just like completely removed from any sexual stuff. Like she just immediately gets such a weird combative relationship with everyone that gets bored into the party.

Like that it's always just like, ah I'm bringing this person in and they're great and they're going to be a great representative and stuff and about six weeks later they're like at each other's throats in the media usually involves the other person abandoning the party with their with their seat that they're now elected to. Did you see the thing from this morning where where where where where, where, where, where, the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their seat that they're now elected to. Did you see the thing from this morning where she did that press conference with the new candidate? Um, what's his name? Peter, Jure, Peter Greek last name? Oh Ben.

I don't know how to pronounce it. It's like George. But it's got I-O owe you at the end. It's that one. European racism is fine. Georgio. Georgio. That was more racist. I'm so sorry. So he is the guy that, if my memory serves me correctly,

replaced old mate Rod Carlton, who is. Senator in exile. Yeah, I'm sorry, he is the brother. the brother. the brother, he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he that he is that he exile, yeah. The brother. No, I'm sorry. Yeah, he is the brother of Rod Carlton's wife. Right. I feel like I'm not making that up. All the people they get are just the weirdest units. They're all, they're all just so... They're also patently like... Yep, yeah, 100% he is Rod Cullson's wife's brother. Yeah. So they did a press conference this morning where he was talking to the press with Pauline Hanson there and then in one point it appears they're finished.

Pauline Hanson walks off and then he just keeps talking. And it goes for a little while and then he turns around, realizes she's gone, says to the audience, I did not realize she had left, I am going to go now and then leaves. Oh man, see I remember on another episode full of callbacks full of callbacks. Yeah, on another episode where we had a friend of the show, Matt Brady on and we were running down like all of the extremely weird units in the, was it the Queensland election? Where they had all the, Queensland, where they had all the,

like, failed one nation-cathom. But yeah, it happened in both because Western Australia and Queensland were the two places where they did that, we're going to like try and put a candidate in every seat, so they just got fucking anyone. Yeah, and like, we were just running down all these different people, and it's just so clear that that it's like anyone who would put their hand up and open their wallet for a shot, for a shot of being an elected official of some kind. And there was the woman whose name I cannot remember at all, but she was someone who was like, you know, a bit edgy but like a relatively, you know, actual representative of the community kind of thing.

And she dropped out of the race like one or two days before the election. She was just like, no, can't do it. I'm not going through with it. And yeah, it just made me think at the time like, oh, yeah, like, they don't do any candidate vetting, because the only people they run are the only people they can get to run. The only vetting that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes can get to run. The only vetting that takes place is candidates realizing that they are absolutely insane and getting off the train before it leaves the station.

That's the only kind of vetting that takes place at that part. Or the post-vetting where journalists look at their Facebook pages and then find out they're also their face-and-and-they're- Nazi salutes in front of swastigas they've mowed into their backyard and then find out they're also the same cop kidnapped a bunch of Aboriginal teens and dumped them in the middle of nowhere with no shoes. Oh yeah he kidnapped some teens. Yeah, it's incredible. That's incredible. They're just fucked up. Remarkable, remarkable stuff.

Very, very silly. Hey folks, speaking of a friend of the show, Matt Brady. Remember him? Uh-huh. Not familiar with his work. Okay, it's a little cold, but... Got him. Got him. Got him. Got his ass.

Friend of the show, Matt Brady posted something online today. Shared something with us. City? It was a post from the Instagram of a special man. Special man that we've covered on this show before. I think you know who I'm talking about the old where in the wide world of where's warning is warning. That was the loudest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. It has destroyed my ears. I'll turn it down in post everybody.

I'll turn it down in posts. Don't do this to the punters. Yeah, it looked very quiet on the thing. I tell you what, it didn't look quiet inside my eardrums. Anyway, front of the show Matt Brady posted an Instagram post of Shane Warns saying, nice one, Warnie. Shame 1 23 on Instagram posted a picture that was really just a bit of text. Nappetek said, your stripper name is the color of your underwear and the last thing you ate. Hell yes, dude. Classic comedy. Nice one, one, tiwarnie.

Did he say what his is? He does not in fact say what his is. I bet it's white pussy. Oh, god damn. Which, look, of course, leads me to the obvious question. Folks, what are your stripper names? Uh, black chippies. I had a little bowl of chippies earlier. Oh, what was the, uh, how do I do my stripper name? It's the color of your underwear and the last thing you ate. I don't know what color my underwear is.

Who knows that? Who knows that? Who knows that just offhand? Like 10 hours ago that you last? Exactly. If only there was some sort of reference point close to your body that you could check. Look, they're blue. What did I eat? Pizza? That's a shitty stripper name.

That really fucking sucks. I knew it was going to be pizza though. I knew it was going that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that tha tha tha tha tha that tha that tha tha that that that that that that that that that that that that thi thi that was that was that was just that that was just like that was just like that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's tha tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. their their their their their their their their their to be pizza though. I knew it was going to be. Blue Italian. Yeah, something fancy. Blue caviar. That's definitely what I just ate. Could be worse folks. Purple Kiche. Oh. That sounds like bad drugs era Beatles album. Yeah. It's purple Kiche. It sounds like something you'dera Beatles album. Yeah. It's perfect. It's something you'd get people to Google in 2005. A hundred percent.

Oh. Disappointing, Warnie. Very disappointing. Not feeling it. I'm just going to do Theo's on his behalf. Yeah. I believe it would be none cocaine. He's really living it up, folks. That sounds like Theo.

Ah, that thing we all love to eat cocaine. He's going to Commando and he's scooping handfuls of cocaine into his mouth as we speak. Munching it down. Munching it down. Oh dear. And that, folks, is the wide world of Wes Warning. That's what he's up to. He's posting really shitty stuff on Instagram. I bet there's some great replies in there. Oh, warning you dog. Oh, you big horny dog. Yeah. By the way, before we

move on, there are some fantastic replies on the Warnie Instagram Please inject some directly into my eyes. It's mostly just like hot chicks replying bright pink tacos and Warnie replying, ha ha ha love it. Love it. It sounds like a pussy. Why would you? Why would you specify bright pink?

I have no idea. It can't just be pink. Oh, pink, I guess that's a pretty dark color. Oh, it's bright pink. Ooh. Wani, it's blindingly pink. Wani, dog. Wannie, you're fucking sick o'

oh my goodness. So it's mainly just women saying that, is that the deal? They're the ones that Warnie's replying to, is the underwear models. Of course. Doing laughing face. The weirdest thing is that this probably works. It probably does. He probably picks up a bunch. Yep. I don't understand how I can't fathom wanting to get a bit of

Shane Warren. Well fucking I always have to check just in case I hallucinated this but he was in a long-term relationship with Liz Hurley. Yes I can't understand it. What the fuck? And it's not like, you know, we're not trying to say that... Yeah, it looks or everything or whatever. But he also has no personality. And the personality he does have is really awful. He's a grub. He's a creep. He's a creepy dude. He's super horny.

So horny. Horny, warny. Horny, warny. That's right. Uh, folks, you know what it's time for. they. Phr-B-H-P-H-P-N-H-P-N-P-Ni. That's right. It's time for another edition of Paging Dr. Lucy. Hell yeah. Wherein we scour Reddit's relationships, subreddit, for people begging for advice. We give them advice they do not ever receive it. I'm assuming that none of these people listen to the show.

But if just one does, we will have made a difference. Well, probably not. Probably not. It's way too late. It's way too late. And also, I can't even contact these people that let them know because they all post on throwaway accounts because they're shame. Stupid.

Just the deep shame. I love seeing when the throwaway names are like diarrhea, or whatever because the story is about how her the throwaway names are like diarrhea woman or whatever because the story is about how her boyfriend keeps having diarrhea in the living room in a bucket because he can't stop playing dark cells. Am I wrong to not want to throw his diarrhea away? Am I a bitch? Because I'm sick of him having diarrhea in the living room while we have company. So you know we often talk about like our favorite, our favorite little categories in here.

As we alluded to, one of them is women who are clearly in that interest a terrible, terrible relationship and they always finish off by saying, am I wrong? Am I wrong for not liking to just have buckets of fish heads thrown over me in front of company? All that kind of thing. This is another category, which is posts where it's really obvious what the issue is, and this person is just not quite clicking. And I think this one's pretty apparent in the category. This one's probably apparent in the title. It's from a 27-year-old male. Need advice with how to deal with 28-year-old girlfriend who doesn't realize she's flirting with other guys. Oh no. Oh, honey.

Oh, buddy, I'm so sorry. Oh. Nice. She just doesn't even know she's doing it. I need some advice on how to deal with my girlfriend, who I think honestly doesn't realize she's flirting with other guys from time to time. We've been dating for eight months and we are totally in love. Plan on marrying in the future, both successful professionals, etc. Everything else that etc. entails. There could be anything.

I'm not really insecure and don't mind flirting. I know she chose me, we love one another and I trust her. What bothers me is that we talked about our relationship deal breakers and one of them for her, i.e for her was flirting, i.e. if I was flirting with women. Since then I never acknowledge women when we are out, when we are in the gym. You never acknowledge women? Right. Wait, waitress brings you something he's flat out for a... Don't even look at her. Don't even look at it. Like out the window. Yeah, when you're ordering something? Uh, tell her I will have, I will have a toasted

sandwich. You just turn, look out the window and say it out loud. If a waiter ever arrives, there isn't one here right now. I will have the sliders, please. Hi, I don't mean to be difficult, but are there any mail staff on? now. I will have the sliders please. Hi, I don't mean to be difficult, but are there any male staff on? My boyfriend's just, he's not acknowledging women right now. Since then, I never acknowledge women when we are out, when we are in the gym,

and the most I ever go is the casual, hi, how are you, and that's it. I do it mostly out of respect for her, dedication to our relationship. That's powerful respect of a woman right there. That is super woman respect. I wish I respected my wife. The most will ever go is, hi, how are you? And they're like, oh, I'm great.

You just like, oh, fuck. I've run out of words. Lady, I'm not flirting with you. Stay back, tempterous. Would you like a receipt? Lady, please. She, on the other hand, does flirty things, and I don't think she's realizing it. Worse part is that it's right in front of me when I'm with her.

How flirty, I need details. Anyway, this morning we were at the gym and we were talking to a mutual friend of ours. She was commenting on how amazing his legs look and she took a Snapchat video to show the world how great his legs are, etc. To her, legs are the most attractive feature of a man. And she obviously loves mine. What the fuck? This just keeps getting worse. I've been your girlfriend so horny for legs.

I would never, I'm like, under any, I can't think of a single circumstance for me like, oh, hey, bro, can I just snap your legs real quick? That definition is popping. I gotta snap that shit. Look, I'll tell people if their legs are looking good. I'll be like, oh, damn, your calves. What's going on there? I'm not gonna take a picture of them.

Yeah, that's because you haven't been banned from communicating with women, I would respect. I really like that he thosses thus thoes thoes, thoes, tho, tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, I, I'm tho, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th. th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, than, that tosses in there. She obviously loves mine. Of course she does. What are they doing in the bedroom? I don't, the legs, it's weird. Just scissoring. Yeah, they're doing scissoring, but instead of it being at the pelvis, they're locking their knees together. It's just rubbing carbs. What bothers me is that if I did the same thing with a female friend of ours, talked

about the friend's ass and took a video and posted on Snapchat, 100% chance my girlfriend would turn bitter and shut off. She has done this for far less serious things in the past. Look, it's fucking crazy weird to snapchat someone's legs. I also think it's very distinct from snapchatting someone's ass. Well, I'm wondering if the comparison he's making is that that's the body part that's attracted to him. He's saying she's really horny for legs. Like, she sounds horny for them. Well, I love. A show him a knees. Ooh, she goes, crazy.

Man. I know it was harmless and I believe she doesn't realize she's flirting. Maybe she does, but seeing how I'm respectful of the relationship, and she's not really bothered, and that she's not really bothers me. I don't really want to come off as insecure, which I'm really not, which is why I've written this 18 paragraph post to Reddit. Any advice on how to proceed with this, too long didn't read, flirting is my girlfriend's relationship deal breaker, but I think she doesn't realize that she's flirting with guys

sometimes. Honey, she does. She totally knows. She totally knows. Because as she's established, she can tell you what behavior and types of social interaction are permissible for you to do and you follow the rules. And she also has established that she can tell some dude with sweet calves how fucking hot they are and snap Snapchat them right in front of you.

Yeah, she'll go, well, I'm busy doing my respect over here, so what am I going to say? You need to stop being a little bitch. Stop being a little bitch and just start replying to women when they speak to you in front your girlfriend. Please stop ignoring women. It's super weird. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I feel like they answered it. Every single one of these fucking questions is it always just communicate. Yeah, communicate that you're breaking up with them. You're absolutely right.

Just fucking why are you asking, should I say something to her? Should I keep my feelings that are ruining my life to myself and then hope the problem just goes away? It's so fucking weird. I feel like there's basically only two courses that these things take on Reddit, which is that someone already knows the answer and they're looking for validation or confirmation. Yeah. They're saying, you know, am I, am I, am wrong? that, that, that, that, that, the the the the the their their their their their their their their they, are, are, are, are their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their feeling their feeling, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their feeling their feeling their feeling their feeling, their feeling, their feeling, their feeling, their feeling, their feeling, their feeling their feeling feeling th feelings, their feeling feeling thi feeling thi feeling thi feeling thi feeling their feeling their feeling, their feeling they're looking for validation or confirmation. Yeah. They're saying, you know, am I wrong? Am I unreasonable to feel this way? And then they just need two or three hundred people to reply and say,

that's fucking crazy behavior that this other person's doing. Or you see the slightly rarer scenario, which is somebody who is in denial about it, which is why they've taken it to to to to to the people the people to the people to the people to the people to the people to the people the people to the people to the people to the people the people to to the people the people to the people to to to to to the people to to the people to the people the people, the people's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thea, thea, thea, thea.ea.ea, thea, thea.ea, thea, thea, thea, thea, their,arer scenario, which is somebody who is in denial about it, which is why they've taken it to the people's court of Reddit. And then they said about having individual arguments with every person who replies to them, attempting to refute their own evidence. Yeah, they try to justify and like stick up for their partner. That's fucked up. Yeah, she's fucking awful to me, but like I know that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that she's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's partner. That's fucked up. Yeah, she's just fucking awful to me

but like I know that she's doing it out of love. Yeah. So I know I was referring on a recent episode to wife of the show, my wife Elna, has been watching like reality shows, she's been watching one called House Rules, where a lot of reality shows. She's watching one called House Rules, where a bunch of dipshits renovate each other's houses. And there's a couple on there. You know how like on reality shows, they'll often give like couples or people or whatever, some sort of descriptor.

You know, it'll be like energetic brother and sister, these people or whatever. They always have to have some sort of adjective for them and for this couple it's like hot-headed couple this guy and this lady lady's got an awful name Keara with an H and the man also has a name possibly Dave I want to say maybe Dave and he is like just borderline comatose, that level are stupid. Cool. And she is just, just horribly abusive. And so they refer to them the whole time as hot-headed couple, this thing.

When she's just yelling all the time, I assume. Yeah, and so like anything that happens at any point of the show, they immediately start having a massive fight with each other. And then the guy will be like, look, we shouldn't fight. And she's like, you should shut up and listen to me. And he goes, you're right, babe. Oh, God. And like, it was an episode on yesterday. she was wearing a hard hat and I had like written

on it, warning, a firecracker or some shit like that. And I was just really struck by that whole thing of like, when people think that just like recurrent, terrible behavior is a personality trait. Yeah. They think that's like some sort of core Part of your personality if you can't handle me at my fucking awful screaming dickhead who's constantly abusing you you don't deserve me at my when I'm doing that less than usual I don't understand it. I don't understand that whole thing of like Who are these people What is your life like?

Terrible, obviously. What's, yeah. What's your life like if you just go, oh, well, here's my thing. My thing that I do is I'm awful to everyone, and I shout in people's faces until I get my way and then I just explain it as being like, oh well, you know, you know what I'm like? Super normal. That's my thing. I love saying I'm a bitch is like a cute personality trait.

Yes. Hilarious. I'm just a bitch. Uh, yeah. Get it on a shirt, you know. The bitch is bad. That kind of stuff. It's very good. It's very good to me.

So anyway, folks, tune in and catch that show. If you want to see some people just really have their marriage fall apart on TV. See some white people fighting while they renovate shit. Yep.

I don't know. I mean, I feel like that number is just going to go up and up, you know. Like, it's my birthday party on Saturday night.

For sexual assault. No, okay. Uh, I retract that. I think... No, well, you can flick someone's balls as long as you don't make contact. As long as it's a cop. You can flick a cop and I won't, I don't recommend it. Don't flick any Queensland cops, balls or anything.

Is using a VPN to access the US version of Amazon crime? Probably yes. Well, crime past that one. Yeah, that's good.

So you could just do that. Well, imagine if you could just order a thing off a site and have it sent to you. Oh no, it should be a five-step process that costs you seven times as much. I think that's much better. Yeah, then you've got to go pick it up from the store. Well, I said folks, feel free to leave us a 5 to 10 star review on iTunes.
