Music Hello and welcome to Buntavista. Bit of feedback to that. Hello and welcome to Buntavista. This is a bonus episode. I am Ben and I'm here looking at the calendar of events on the website, furrycons.com. That's it. That's the intro. Here we go. February 26th to March 2nd, 2025 at the Nowatel Gdansk in Gdansk, Poland.

Gitikon, 2025. Those Polish fairies? Polish fairies. February 28th, March 2nd, 2025. The Holiday Inn in Austin, Texas. That is Lone Star Furcon, 2025. Hey, do we get to punch any of these up? I'd say, Gdansk the night away. On the poster. I'd say that on the poster.

Yeah. Yes. That's a really good idea. Do they do that? I'm not sure. Do they dance? Oh, come on. Yeah. They're fucking. They're fucking and dancing. Cause they're all- Are they dancing? They're just fucking.

Well, you know what dancing leads to? And we probably shouldn't say too much of it due to our listener base. Oh, no, no. I would say this in a radical way. A lot of these are very online people, so they listen We probably shouldn't say too much for you to our listener base A lot of these are very online people so they listen to a lot of electronic music There's always like a rain at the con. Yeah, a lot of people sweat it up They do the first suits never do furry con at that venue from John Wick 2 Yeah, I think the night before it was a crazy fit rocked up on the same night

Yeah, I think the night before it would be crazy if it rocked up on the same night They um, they filmed one take and then they were like, all right Nash on the door the first They are they said now for this second take let's all take the head at the heads off our suits see how it looks You know Wait, and then it's that one. Sorry. I was thinking of a different nightclub I was thinking of the nightclub from John Wick 1 where Kevin Nash is on the door. You're thinking of the Euro rave? The Euro rave one, yeah. Imagine that, but it's full of furries and like John Wick's in there.

There's like, there's a rave in every week. There's a rave in every one of them to be fair. Yeah. That's also which one our favorite. John Wick 4. John Wick 4 where he's fighting Scott Adkins in a fat suit inside a nightclub with a waterfall in it It's a good setting and somehow just like blade and they say okay gotta be a really cool setting We've got to get the lighting just right the choreography has to be off the chain, you know

Music it's got to be the worst thing you've ever heard in your fucking life And it comes together every time in this beautiful melting pot perfection. Can I, this is an official recommendation of the show, but if you want a really good time, I want you to have the amount of edibles that you know you're okay with and then one more. I want you to watch the the Himmel und Holt scene from John Wick 4 and only watch the extras. Don't look at the fight. Just watch the people that are like pretending to be shocked back to dancing. Look a little shocked while dancing back to dancing, stopping dancing.

It is, it's an incredible organic high on top of the, the other high that you're experiencing. Ben we've been rewatching Detroiters. Oh, I've been watching it for the first time. Yeah, me too. I'm almost finished it. It's at the summer of Detroiters. It's the summer of Detroiters. It's the summer of Detroiters. Not the summer of Detroiters. Only several years after they wrapped it up. Yeah. But I was just watching the episode where, with Kevin Nash playing Tim Robinson's father.

Oh my god. Wonderful stuff. That's so good. He's so fucking big. Yeah. He's a big man. He's a large guy. He's so large. Elna who is not a professional wrestling fan was like what a beautiful man. And I said oh and I immediately opened my phone and went to the folder of bookmarks title Kevin Nash pictures Here's when he was known as Big Daddy Diesel. Mm-hmm. Got some got some long hair going on, you know What we could do as a society if we didn't have like 30% of our brain dedicated to IMDB graph search. Hey, and in fairness, Kevin Nash, good politics, which is so fucking rare for a professional wrestler.

Yeah. And just like he aged so beautifully, he's a fucking massive silver fox. Yep. Might see a few of those at the furry con. All right. Yep. Might see a few of those at the furry con. Hey! Bring it back! All right. Unfortunately, this next one has already been canceled. It was March 1st to 4th at the Parque Estadual Intervales at the

Ribeirão Grande in Sao Paulo, Brazil. That was fur camp 2025. No longer happening. Sao Paulo, Brazil. That was Fur Camp 2025. No longer happening. But March 6 to 9, 2025, at the Richmond Conference Center in Richmond, British Columbia. That is Vancouver 2025. That's pretty good. I think they nailed that one. Nailed that one. At March 7th to 9th, the Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Durham, North Carolina. We have bewiskered 2025. Bewiskered.

I like that. That's good. I love it. Even in these, even in these hard times and these like increasingly reactionary times. They're still flying that fur flag. Yeah. Joy is an active resistance. I think that's times. Yes. Mm. They're still flying that fur flag. Yeah, joy is an act of resistance. I think that's beautiful. Yeah. Okay, but don't say it in a way that it sounds like it might be sarcastic.

You gotta say it in a way... I don't think any of them are sarcastic. I think it's nice. Like a lot of them are strapped too. You've done it again. Well, a lot of them have got the strap. That's as later on. It's strictly after eight PM. Oh, the knotting hour.

I keep seeing stuff for knotfest, which is the slipknot music festival and being like, oh, is that a... Oh, nevermind. Slipknot. Yeah. Not a cat's dick. Do cats have knots? I thought cats had barbs, dogs had knots. Oh, I'm learning a lot. Hold on.

It's not important. Lucy is seriously Googling. What? No, it's okay. Show me cat penis. All right, now this next one, this is also... Computer, pull up cat penis. Oh, you can get one.

I got to set that up. Oh, it's not been doing anything until now. You guys are just typing it in. Bulbous gland is also called a bulb or not is an erectile tissue structure on the penis of canid mammals, dogs. And wolves. Okay. I'm just trying to read out a list of furry events.

You don't have to be weird. Yeah, and I have to start talking about like dog pussies or anything at Furrycon. All right. Now this one is also happening March 7th to 9th on the East Coast of America. And this is, uh, the Hilton Washington at Dallas airport in, uh, Herndon, Virginia. It's called Fur-the-more 2025. Now it's got a, an apostrophe before more. Like it's, like it's an abbreviation of something but I don't

know what but furthermore there's a pun there I get it but I don't understand what the more is yeah maybe like they're fitting one word into another word but which is most jokes yeah yeah if you you're sort of tapped into the scene and you're in Virginia and you know what that's a reference to, let us know. Baltimore. March 21st to 23rd, 2025 at the Western Harvard Castle in Toronto. Is that the castle that's in Scott Pilgrim?

No, it wouldn't be. No, it couldn't be. That's probably not it. Anyway, this is the Fernal Equinox 2025. Oh, that's great. That's really good. Really, it couldn't be. That's probably not it. Anyway, this is the Fernal Equinox 2025. Oh, that's great. That's really good. Really, really good. That's fucking fantastic.

The Hilton Los Angeles Airport, again at the airport, March 28th to the 30th, Golden State Furcon. Fly in, fly out. You know? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Fur in, fur out.

Have you got events Ben, or just, you just listed these like, like what events happen at Golden State Fercon? You know? I mean, it's all the same, right? Meet and greet. You get your meet and greet. It's meat spelled with an A. Meet and greet until 8pm and then it's fucking suck from 8pm onwards. For four days. So that's it. That's right. Fucking's like too late. Everyone's like eyeing the clock at like 7.57. We're like, fucking come on. Fucking, I've already meet and greeted.

I've met and greet everyone at this point. It's that image of Lenny in the bar with the sun reaching the light, except the light just says not time. Oh my God, I'm sorry. I've gone to the website. Sorry to detract from your intro, Ben. Um, are you Golden State Furcon?

And I've gone to the events. One said dance battle. Yes. So I clicked on dance battle and it says, uh, this event is labeled as a PG 13 event and may get a bit spicy at times. Yeah. Because dancing is kind of, it's a very, um, it's very central. It's very in the body.

Hey, are those two doggering? I don't like that. You get what I'm, do you get what I'm saying? I understand what you've combined. It's very unpleasant. Thank you. Uh, this is from March 28th. Totally thrown by that image. Furries.

A guy on a ladder in a fursuit getting ready to jump. Oh, doing it hard enough to like throw up in the suit from how sweaty you are. God damn. Like I could surely, like dancing in one of them. That'd be awful. I got a hard enough time dancing in clothes, you know. I think they're really high end ones have ventilation systems in them. Probably like fan cooled. Like the real deal. Liquid cooled.

So this is happening on the same weekend as Golden State Furcon. This is in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Oh, actually, sorry. It's Ypsilanti, Michigan at the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti. This is Motor City Furrycon 2025. Sounds good. Blue collar, probably. Industrial city, industrial music, probably. This one's April 4th to 6th. it is the Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise. Oh, it is furry down under 2025. Okay, it's Surfers Paradise. Any Koala fursuits you reckon?

I wonder. It's got to give you some protection against being glassed. That's true. Which is your most primary concern. And you get to have a thematically relevant excuse for having chlamydia Oh we're going backwards motor city Statistically at least one of the demons from it follows has to be in Really it's like one movie per month for you. Yeah, I

Really? So it's like one movie per month for you. Yeah. I rewatched like two thirds of, um, of, uh, they came together, but there's not enough. Well, perhaps there's too much in that movie to focus on one bit. Yeah. That's a really good movie though. It is a great movie. Yeah. No anchoring kind of- Lucy, you would love it. Lucy, yeah, I got it. That's so good. They came together?

They came together. Yeah. So it's Paul Rudd. Amy Poehler. Amy Poehler. And then the city of New York kind of plays a main character as well. Oh Jesus. Jason Manzoukas got a really good Jason Manzoukas. The whole wet, hot American summer David Wayne crew. Michael Showalter. Unfortunately Michael Ian Black, but you can kind of

deal with that for a bit. Man, this guy's seen movies. He knows about movies. April 10th to 13th, 2025, the holiday in Portland by the Bay. Uh, that is Portland, Maine, not, not Portland, Oregon. Thank you for clarifying. I went by the wrong plane ticket. Not Portland, Oregon. Thank you for clarifying.

I went by the wrong plane ticket. Fercationland 2025. Fercation, do you say? Fercationland. Okay. Yes. April 10th to 13th, same weekend. Again, there's a lot of clashes in this calendar.

It's going to be tough. At least this isn't on the same coast, I guess. This is at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, Dallas, Texas. Texas Furry fiesta 2025. But that blows off. Are you picturing like, I'm picturing like cowboy furries. I pictured like there's different furries in Texas. Longhorns.

There's longhorns. Everything's bigger in Texas, including the fursuits. Knots. Gigantic. Ah, stop. Talking about the knots. Do they have? No, I'm not gonna, no, just sorry. Bulls? Bull ones?

Well, they're coming right off the bottom of them, aren't they? Where are bull dicks? Where are bull dicks? The Pizzle? You're talking about the Pizzle? Where the Pizzle at? The what? The Pizzle. Sort of up their stomach a bit, right? A little Googling bullp-

Oh, no, that's gonna be like sticks. Why do we have to make everything so vulgar all the time? I'm really tired. Why are we gonna do this? So gross. April 11th to 13th, again, same weekend. This one is the Fall Creek Falls State Park, Newton Ford Bunk Group Lodge.

That's a lot of words. This is in Pikeville, Tennessee. That is the Woods Flock 2025. I don't know if that's a, what do they call, it's Scalies for Lizards. What's the one for birds? Oh, they've got a name, right? There's some listeners getting so mad right now. Oh, there's called Avians. It's not really like a joke or anything. It's kind of boring. There's someone screaming at their Bluetooth speaker in a very muffled voice.

Aviates, aviates. This one, the following weekend, April 17th to 20th at Alexis Park Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, Las Vegas Furcon 2025. That definitely goes crazy. It's Vegas. Yeah. What happens in Vegas, this is the thing, stays in Vegas, except for all the stuff that ruins people's lives. And then it kind of comes out of Vegas.

Same weekend, the Hilton Columbus downtown, Columbus, Ohio. So you'll have to choose. You'll have to choose between the two. Anthro, Ohio. Nice. That's pretty good. That's really good. That's nice. This next one is again the same weekend, except it appears to continue into midweek, which is bold. This appears to be sort of like a Friday to Tuesday situation.

It is at the Novatel Lyon Braun-Eurexpo, which is in Braun, France. Oh, it's probably like public holidays. I bet they got more than we do. Oh, they probably got 20 public holidays there because otherwise they flip cars. Hey, four day weekend. What are we gonna do? We should do that.

We should be flipping cars. We should be flipping cars. This one is called Fawn-tastic 2025. Okay. Pretty good. All right, not bad. But a little prescriptive for my post Yeah, I'm probably not gonna be a ford. I'm being an throw dragon like I'll fuck one, but I'm not gonna dress So this is only three days later

And relatively close by. So you could probably make like a week of it and keep the party going. This is from April 25th to 28th at Castille de Bercht in Barlow, Netherlands. Like no sleep for this person. Dutch Furies. Just imaginary furry. It's furry weekend Holland 2025.

You can have two, three days of downtime. And then you're back at it. Meet and greet. Fuck and suck. Keep the party going. Meet and greet. Fuck and suck. Meet and greet again. Fuck and suck again. Rest and relaxation. Two days. Meet and greet. Fuck and suck. Do you think it's like comedy festival season in Australia where there's like a rash of- There's a circuit. Festivals and you just, you know- You go around, you travel around. Yeah, and if you got the money,

if you got that Taylor Swift fan money, you continue on to Europe and you follow all them around, you know? Okay, well how about this as a plan? Yeah. Okay, so April 18th, you go meet and greet, fuck and suck, meet and greet, fuck and suck, meet and greet, fuck and suck,

meet and greet, fuck and suck. That gets you to the 22nd. Three days rest of relaxation, meet and greet, fuck fucking suck, meet and great fucking suck, meet and great fucking suck, meet and great fucking suck, that gets you to the 22nd. Three days rest of relaxation, meet and great fucking suck, meet and great fucking suck, meet and great fucking suck, that gets you to the 28th. You have three days of rest and relaxation. And then you go to the Rafael Hotel Azotacha in Madrid, Spain for four days of meet and great fucking suck at EvoCon 2025. Beautiful Madrid. In Madrid? In Madrid? for four days of meet and greet. Fuckin' suck it. Beautiful. EvoCon 2025.

Beautiful. Madrid? In Madrid? In Madrid? In Madrid? It ferries Espana? Oh my God. Imagine.

Unless you're in America and then maybe May 2nd to 4th, you go to the Doubletree Suites by Hilton in Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey for Forget About It 2025. Nah, nah, don't. Wait, did you say that's in New Jersey? That's in New Jersey for Forget About It 2025. Nah, nah, don't. Yeah. Wait, did you say that's in New Jersey? That's in New Jersey. Forget about it.

Wonderful. Take it easy. Hey. That's fucking amazing. That's really good, actually. Hey, young yiffin' here. You have a couple of pies. New Jersey furries.

You yiff a couple of guys, you have a couple of pies. Hey, young yiffin' here. You yiff a couple of guys, you have a couple of pies. A young yiff in here. Yes! Oh. Woo! And then, okay, this is actually going to be pretty tough. Because, basically the fourth. Twenty minutes in now.

What? No. Oh, shit. That's no good. Theo, that's not true. We were talking for a few minutes before we started. It could only be 16 maybe. What about the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, in New Brunswick, New Jersey for Golden State Fur the Weekend 2020? Oh, Garden State Fur the Weekend 2025. There's two competing New Jersey Fur cons on it at the same time. You know they've got a rift. Oh time. Oh, I wonder which one's better.

You know they've got a rift. Oh my God. They start off as one furry con. Yeah. They split. There was a schism. Schism? Schism.

Yeah, couldn't agree on which version of Smash to play. Maybe though you're in sort of more in the Midwest on that weekend, because also May 2nd or 4th at Wildcat Mountain State Park in Ontario, Wisconsin. Very on brand. Another one in Canada. Fantastic. I love it when the location is animal based. Yes, that's a smart move.

They're doing, it's rough out. That's OUF 2024. Oh, is this like an outdoor, like camping? Maybe they're roughing it. They should doing it's rough out. That's OUF 2024. Oh, is this like an outdoor camping? They should rough it. You want to be a furry, but you don't want to live outdoors. You just want to have the dog sex, but not live the dog life. You don't want to run with dogs. Yeah.

So you want to reap, but not sow. Yeah. Does your dog live outside or inside Lucy? He's inside. He died. He died outside. It was horrible. He's like a canary, he can't live in the wild. He can't live out there, he's allergic to everything.

It's getting in his folds, get him back inside. I might only give you like highlights from the rest of the list because I'm looking at the wrong time. It so long. Yeah, you don't have to do the whole list as well. That's just a rod you made for yourself. For Winston, what are you trying right now? If only with you, who put the list in here? So I'm just imagining Winston sniffing a flower that just exploding immediately. Yeah, basically, he ate something in the garden.

He's been coughing for like three days because of it. I have to keep giving him like honey on a teaspoon to make him feel better. He's a fucking asshole. Probably ate a snail again. Maybe he's trying to kill himself. We love it. Oh, I thought he died the other day. He coughed and then he rolled over like onto his back like a bug. And I was like shaking it. I was like, Winston, Winston. Oh no, come on. What an awful creature.

He did it to stress me out. Yeah. He hates being alive the whole time. My cat has reached the age where like every now and then I look at her for like 10 seconds and I'm like, no, she's alive. Yeah. Sometimes I just go and like shake Winston. I just like hold my hand to see if he's breathing.

Just to check. Put a little mirror under his nose. May 8th to 11th, this is the Hotel Metz Technopole in Metz, France. Uh, Les Foe-Foe-Rous 2025. Yeah. France, uh, lay for through 2025. Which is going to be tough because happening on the same weekend at the boutique hotels, three in Lodz, Poland is fur pile 2025. Fur pile. You could pick in the French one every time.

I know we have some beautiful Polish, but I'm going to the French one for sure. Because you know what? The end of the day, let's cut the shit. They're fucking nastier in France. Yeah, but the music's better in Poland. Oh, Polish underground techno? Yeah. At Furpile 2025?

Yeah. You're hearing beats you can't even understand. You think it's bad, but then the more you listen to it, you're like, oh shit, this might be the new thing. Yeah, this is bad on a reason. Yeah. Bad on a reason? Bad on a reason. Bad on a reason. Plus, I'm going to fucking suck a guy in a fursuit later. I'm going to be in a fursuit. Uh, I don't even know how to pick the highlights here. Oh, maybe this one, May 24th to 26th, 2025. This is happening at the USS Hornet Sea Air and Space Museum in Alameda, California. Oh my goodness. You know where it's talking. Galactic Camp 2025. I think it might be a furry space camp.

Furry space camp. Furry space camp? They should go to space. They deserve it. Yes, right there. Like Leica. Yeah, Plus they're qualified as well. Do you think they got to put another suit on over the fursuit? Yes. No, they're building the technology into, there's no room for two. I think they've got a specific astronaut fursuit. Of course they do.

We got those guys stuck on the ISS now for like nine months past when they were supposed to leave? Why is that? Because of Joe Biden or whatever. Yeah, I think Bidenomics kind of fucked them. Yeah, because they're like, woke. They don't want to come back to Earth. Yeah, but Elon is going to deorbit it if he has his way. Yeah, which will solve their problem once and for all. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, what about June 5th to 8th, 2025? This is the Lake Michigan recreation area in Free Soil, Michigan. Free Soil? I bet there's going to be a couple of people there, Free Soil. Yeah. Take my trailer. Bring a bucket. This is Fur Camp, Michigan, 2025.

That sounds pretty good again. Outdoors, get out there. Yeah. Do some outdoorsy shit and then, you know, climb into someone's tent later. Chlorotri. This one, June 14th to 15th, 2025. This is in Singapore. Little Island Furcon 2025. Okay. Yeah. No one got any gags about the Singaporean...

No, probably not. I don't think so. It's quite interesting. Yeah. I'm surprised they've got one, if I'm being perfectly honest. Good on them. There's furries everywhere, right? Yes. You never know.

Yeah, there has never been a time without furries. Correct. I think there was. Am I naive? I think you are tremendously naive about this stuff. Oh. Like back in fairy presidents. No, I'm thinking back when there were Vikings and they would like, you know, make a headdress out of a wolf.

You think that's fairy-babe? Yeah, I don't know if that counts. No, no, I'm saying that for like, you know, 19 of the 20 berserkers, they were like, yeah, the 20th one put it on him. It was like, Ooh. Oh, I'm a puppy. Oh, ooh. Ooh. You guys remember when, you know how we're like old enough

that there was a time when like gay people were like controversial. And Henry Rollins really bravely came out with like a good soundbite of him saying that it's normal to be gay. Yes. Like, which I'm saying that more as a criticism of the time than a criticism of Henry Rollins. But like where he's like, they were gay samurai. That's so dope. That's awesome. If I was going to pick one example of proving that gay people are normal, I'm a gay samurai dude.

And what would that sound like? What would that look like? I'm picturing it right now. I don't think we need to do this list anymore. You know what? I'm ejecting myself from the intro. 27 minutes. Yeah, we've been doing this for so fucking long. This is Lucy, Andrew, and Theo. And I think that completes the intro.

Hey, someone knows you. Yeah, I'm Andrew. I'm Andrew. Hi. Yeah. It doesn't really fucking matter because everyone will know which one Lucy is and then we'll get the rest of the three most confused. I know that everyone gets you guys confused.

I don't understand this. It's saying that you guys sound the same. That's not true. It isn't true. It's so crazy. I sound so beautiful and unique and yeah, I get it. Andrew and Theo sound basically the same, but like... I just think you spend six or seven hundred hours talking to someone

And it's easy to tell they've already like closed my eyes Probably like two times out of three I can tell who's talking. Yes, and that when you open your eyes probably about the same success, right? Hey some of those fur cons had pretty crazy names there's another segment where we explore crazy names It's the great American Hall of Name. It's the Great American Hall of Name. Oh we're doing this one all the way stupid huh? This is going to be one of the most content free episodes we have ever done. Be like that cruise ship beam episode.

Just to close out freemium February too. This is the last one to convince you to give us money. You can miss out on episodes like this. Money please. It takes a really long time to put the great American hauler name together. It's like my whole fucking afternoon. Yeah. The hours.

I got this from the American Bridge Associations website from a plain text, but comma separated values list that I had to put into Excel myself that was called like people.text. Yes. Just as a fun quirk of this one. So you know the bridge is kind of like a, it's kind of like an old, old person's kind of thing. A bridge. Bridge. You know, bridge?

The game. I'll bridge the game. Yeah. Bridges, the great equalizer. We've all driven over bridges. I'm like, I'm still driving over bridges. I've never played bridge. I don't know what it is.

I don't understand. It feels very 70s swing-ery. Bridge is like 500, right? It's a, you get the cards, you get the... Someone's east or north or something. There's cardinal directions involved somehow. Which is kind of like hearts. I don't, I don't really know.

Sort of like bulletro. Boring. You can just pick up a PlayStation now. It doesn't matter. Yeah. They got, they got bulletro there on the Nintendo Switch. You could be buying... Are you guys, is this a bit? He this the only person that says it that way?

Yeah, we are all except for the games except the guy who made it Yeah, we've got a made it you and that one that he thinks that's how it said Well, because it's an old Roman word for a jester. Yeah, it's incredible. Yeah, pretty cool, huh? So a quirk of the fact that bridge is like mostly for old people meant that every time I did a little Google search to check that it wasn't just like someone flubbed some data entry, it, the result was the obituary for that person. Big Grim. Um, here we go.

So this is mostly this, I'm taking a bit of a different tack with this one. I think this is just a celebration of the sort of names that only old people have. Here we go. Bessie Heggs. Bessie Gudger. Bet Bast. Bet Bast? Like short for Betty surely.

Yeah, like Bet Midler, Bet. Yeah. That's him style. Betty Baster. Beryl Battle. Dope. That's, that is a, ah, that is a Pokemon gym trainer name. Yes.

100%. In Beryl City? Brenda Braceful. Bernstein Buck. Erdestein with aful. Bernstein Buck. Is Erdestein with a B? Beautiful. Harold minus the third. No third at all.

Albert Alias. Impossible to know what his real name was. This guy's on the lam for murder. No record of him. And you just gotta put your name down there on the sign-in sheet. Hello, my name is Albert Alias. My name is pseudonym Alias.

John Penn name. Algeria Stamps. Algeria? Algeria. Algeria? Algeria. Algeria stamps. Novella Page. Did you say Novella Page?

Novella Page. Dorothy Smortow. Taft Barkley. Beautiful. That's nice. Lovely. I don't know if guys, they're tafted or not. Mildred Crump. Dorothy Crippins. Jean Schnoes. That is S-C-H-N-O-S-E. Ionia Bean. Oh. Mrs. Bean? Mrs. Bean.

That's what you say when you get caught shoplifting from the vegetable section. Ionia Bean. Ionia Bean. Ionia Bean. Dave Bort. B-O-R-T. Beautiful. Vivienne D. Raspberry.

Delightful. You don't get it anymore, but the single initial middle name. It's a punch up. It's a combo multiplier for the names. It really ties the name together. It does. Laws, Nickens Jr. And junior, we've got to get more juniors out. Laws.

Laws, yeah. Conklin Bray. Conklin Bray. Conklin Bray. Conklin Bray. Conklin Bray. Conklin Bray. And we're only laughing at these people if they're not of a different ethnicity to us.

Well, they're bridge players. I'm not laughing. Can we have a serious heart to heart? Yeah. Quick heart. Let's cut this shit. It turns out elderly people that are perhaps African American really like playing bridge sometimes, it turns out.

Now this is a segment where we have traditionally stuck to very white looking people's names because it avoids any sort of suggestion that we're laughing at a sort of a cultural element of the African American experience. So what I'm trying to do is just we're divorcing it from the context of names being strange. It's just the sounds. We're just rolling syllables around on your ear tongue. Gadsen Tarlaton. Beautiful. That is a hat stamp and name. Jessup Doddy.

Le Blanch Trail. These are all good cow moly names. Le Blanch, I like it. Le Blanch. Le Blanch Trail? Perhaps Le Blanch? Le Blanch. Bailey Leftwich.

Fenton Gilmer. So many of these names who I'm imagining working in customer service and you say and what's that name under just so I can write it on the cup Fenton yeah so many of them that would make you go them that would make you go. The Bletch? Did you say? Videl Ham. Magnolia Patron.

Now old people names are great. They might be of a Hispanic descent, perhaps Latin American maybe. Sure, Patron. Magnolia Patron. Yeah, maybe. Or they might be lining up to see 1999's greatest drama epic. Oh, they're a patron at the cinema to see Magnolia. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. I'm with you there. Velvet Jones. Oh, yes. Velvet Jones. God. Imagine, imagine what would be possible for you if your name was Velvet Jones. Oh, the world is your oyster.

Imagine the different life you would have. You'd be a different man, like the film A Different Man. Yes. That's Lucy's one movie that she's seen in the last month. Or it's the stage name that you take on when you start performing for a soul music cover band. Yeah, and you play a little bridge on the side. Yeah. Oh, you know how sometimes Andrew, when you get a, like a, you take a chance on like a

weird funk album you've found in like the funk section of a record store and you look at it at the back to suss out whether it's good and it's like a 12 piece funk band, there's one white guy. Yep. That's Velvet Jones. That's Velvet Jones. Yeah. He's like hold 12 piece funk band. There's one white guy. Yep. That's velvet jones. That's velvet jones. Yeah He's like hold the whole band together. Thank you velvet jones. And really and he's the bass player. Yes That's over Jones baby violet pain

Sad that sounds like what would have been like my myspace name in 2006 That sounds like what would have been like my MySpace name in 2006. Yeah, upside down flower emoji in there. Wilted rose. Ruby Wall. Like A-U-G-H? No, W-A-R. Oh, damn. Yeah.

And if you're from a different country that's not Australia... You wouldn't get it. They're probably saying it in England, I'll say that much. Pick up a book of People magazine. Read a book, get out of your house.

Get a passport. Get an Australian visa. Also good luck, good luck trying to look up the slang that we're saying, because you're not going to know how to spell it. No, you've. Cause you're not going to know how to spell it. No, you got no idea. Not going to know how to spell it. Yeah. I'm not going to know what urban dictionary entry to look for.

Yeah. You're looking up moot with a you with an umlaut over it. What did they say? Moot? Probably you over egged that more. What did they say on Boonta Vista? I have one more here for you. Nice and clean.

Good clean fun. Willy pleasant. It can be. Yeah. I hope so. Hey, if you listened to this episode, hoping to hear a bunch of wacky news stories, the result that you got would maybe be the one thing that you didn't want to happen. It's time for, this is the one thing we didn't want to happen.

This is the one thing we didn't want to happen. This comes to us from WHTM in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania man denied $57,000 casino jackpot. Bro, that's mine. I won it at the casino. Yeah, it's my jackpot. The thing went ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah.

And I've got a couple here. All the lights and stuff were. Just scooping up all the coins. So I'd like that please. A Pennsylvania man hit a once in a lifetime jackpot, but was denied being able to collect it. Pennsylvania state police say on February 15th, around 4pm, a Philadelphia man was on the gaming floor at Parks Casino in Ben Salem when he won a $57,000 and seven

cent jackpot. Probably just neatly nip off that seven cents, I reckon. Yeah. Just for clarity. You know what? Just keep it clean. You can keep it. Give that to the attendant.

Yes. Hey. Hey. This is for you. Hey, some for you. Give that to the attendant. Yes. Hey, this is for you. Hey, some for you.

However, state police say the 46 year old had quote, self excluded himself for life from playing casino games in Pennsylvania. Uh oh. Oh, like he banned himself. Like he banned himself. Well, it obviously didn't work because he was fucking, he was on the poke. Apparently they'll take his money. So angry it passed me at this point.

I'm the guy from that meme who's been like digging and digging and digging and he walks Apparently they'll take his money. So angry it passed me at this point. I'm the guy from that meme who's been like digging and digging and digging and he walks away right before the diamonds. You know what? I think a news story like this is a very fraught complex issue and it requires a bunch of really sensitive, thoughtful, nuanced people to discuss it in terms that do it justice. This guy himself... Who's that? Do you know anyone?... excluded Yes. This guy is self-excluded. Who's that?

Do you know anyone? Let's carve it off onto someone else. So he's self-excluded himself. Yes. Because he has a problem. He's wearing the shirt. They said, no matter what I say, don't let me play the game. Don't let me gamble.

Don't let me hear the slots. Keep me away from the one-armed bandit. No more chillies, you know? And he's gone back knowing that he can't get payouts because he's banned himself for life and then- Surely he can get payouts, but like at the point that they ask for a name or ID or something, then he gets denied. Yeah.

He's been under a nom de plume the whole time. And then they say, Hey buddy, I just I just looked you up and yeah, we get to keep this. Sorry, but we're helping you. Yeah. Did they keep the money that he put in the Pokemon? Yeah, they're taking his money. This is the problem. They've taken all his money.

Are they still taking his money? Because that's fucked up. That would seem like the exact opposite of the purpose of the self-exclusion. Yeah. What? He can only lose money, but he can't gain money? Yeah, that seems pretty fucked up. Because I assume he only self-excluded because he was losing so much money.

Yeah, if you're winning. Because he was on a bad roll. Yeah. That's fucked up. Pennsylvania self-exclusion list allows individuals affected by problem gambling to remove themselves from the ability to place bets. Alright. Okay, so... Good thing to have.

Well, he put himself on the list, but then he was in there? Or because he wants to gamble. But he was doing it. Which means, like, it didn't really exclude him from doing that. Which means his system kind of doesn't, like, work at all? You know how I'm solving this problem? If this were to happen to me, the one thing that I didn't want to happen. Mm-hmm.

I am immediately figuring out how to promise a great deal of money to a reputable psychologist in my area so that he gives me a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type diagnosis. Ooh. me a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type diagnosis. It was, it was Dr. Jekyll who put me on the no gamble list. But Mr. Hyde, he likes it. You say that your plan is to say that the good part of my personality has all of my virtues got me excluded, but now me, I'm the evil one and I'm speaking. I guess I'm just saying, I think the doctor, the doctor's more likely to put me on the

list. I think you should convert that. Do you think you can shop around for like a psychologist that's going to diagnose you with the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde disease? Yes. Yes. He's going to say, no, no, no, no, no. Not only was he not in his right mind when he put himself on the list, he wasn't even

in his mind. That was Mr. Hyde. Thanks Ben. not in his right mind when he put himself on the list. He wasn't even in his mind. That was Mr. Hyde. Thanks Ben. The record will show that I actually took the substance and then a younger, sexier be popped out and then ran down to the slots. I think gambling's bad because there is Zuma, you know? Yeah. Boring. I don't know if this is a...

Yeah Ben? What's up? We're joking. We're joking know if this is a... Yeah, man. What's up? We're joking. We're joking. The pokies are purely evil. Hey, we are well and truly aware of the evils of pokies here in Australia. We got it. You guys think you got pokies? Oh yeah, you got no idea. You got no fucking idea. Those on the list will voluntarily bar themselves from casinos, internet-based gambling, video gaming terminals, and fantasy sports wagering.

Self-imposed bans can be either a set period of time or the player's lifetime. The man was cited for trespassing at the casino. So you didn't enforce the policy at all. You let him go in, you let him spend a bunch of money. He won. And then said he can't have his money. And you went go in, you let him spend a bunch of money. He won. And then said he can't have his money. He went, oh, no.

He should burn it down. Burn that fucking casino down. If you're listening. Yeah, blow up the pokies. Blow up the pokies. Blast the bloody pokies. Theo. They're taking the food off the table. Show them. Theo, my favorite.

Show them. My favorite slot machine related, like factoid for Australia is that Australia has more poker machines per person than any country in the world. Yes. Oh no, it does say excluding casino-centric, sorry, casino tourism destinations like Macau. So we're not counting Macau and Monaco, but that's because they're like, yes, we have, we have one poker machine for every 114 people. That's really bad. So many. I agree. It's fucked. I might have to line up for a poker machine sometimes. Hey, this sounds like the sort of thing that could only happen in America, but

sometimes something sort of kind of almost similar happens in France. It's time for France Watch. This comes to us from the BBC. This comes to us from the BBC. Man offers to split winnings after thieves hit jackpot with his credit card. Wow. That's quite a story. Yeah. Those are bold.

Well, you'll see actually there's a pretty good reason for making this play. A Frenchman has appealed to two thieves who used his stolen credit card to purchase a jackpot winning scratch card to come forward, promising to split the 500,000 euros prize with them. That's smart. Cunning Frenchman. Introducing himself as Jean David E., the man told RTL radio that since the money would otherwise be seized by the authorities, he is looking to strike a deal with them. This is like a perfect logic puzzle. Yeah.

Risk mitigation strategy for them. He gets $250,000. They get $250,000. Yeah. It's win-win. Everybody has a great day. It's win-win. Yeah, it's a win-win. Everybody has a great day.

Quote, without me, they would not have won, but without them, I would not have bought this ticket. I want to offer them to share the winnings, the Toulouse resident said. 50-50, brother. True. That's a lot of sausages. No one has so far come forward with a wedding ticket, which has been blocked by France's national lottery operator, Français de Jus, according to Jean David.

Jean David discovered that his backpack containing his wallet had been stolen from his car parked in central Toulouse on the 3rd of February. After calling his bank to block his credit card, he discovered that 52 euro 50, what do I call, is it a euro cent? I think it's a cent. Yeah. Uh, had been spent via a contactless payment at Tabac de Termes, a nearby corner shop. Sean David went to the shop to see if the staff had seen anything suspicious or if

any of his belongings had been abandoned at the shop. Hang on, slow down. That, that is a nearby tobacco shop, surely. I think it's just like a convenience store. Yeah, but they call them tobacco shops. It's the only place you can buy bus tickets to. Oh, yeah. That's France, baby.

Pick it up some spokes. So these roles. Quote, my client spoke to the cashier and discovered that two men who appeared to be homeless used his credit card to purchase cigarettes and several scratch cards. Jean-David's lawyer Pierre de Bousson told the BBC. Average Frenchman. I love the French. The two men told the cashier that they had won the 500,000 euro jackpot on one of the cards and they were planning on going to FDJ to claim their winnings.

The cashier found the two men's behavior suspicious as they were unable to enter the PIN number on one of the cards they attempted to make the purchase with, according to Jean David. After his conversation with the cashier, Jean David contacted the local police, who in turn reached out to the FDJ to alert the games company. The police are now likely to seize the winnings and should the thieves approach the FDJ themselves, they are likely to be arrested, according to Jean Devin.

So he can't claim the lotto winnings because he doesn't have them, but they can't claim the lotto winnings because they stole the card. They're at an impasse. We're at an impasse, unless cooperation. This is a great idea, actually. It's fucking genius. This is like kind of like the prisoner's dilemma, except- But he solved it. He solved it with like a really neat, perfect solution that works for everyone.

They should make this guy president. Well, I guess like the only thing is he kind of can't lose at this stage, regardless of what happens. He was never going to have 500,000 euros. So like, if it doesn't pan out, he's at square one, he's down 50 euro because some guys stole his wallet. Whereas for these guys, if he is duplicitous, if he's not an honest man and he doesn't pardon them or refuse to press charges, they could still go on the slammer because

they've done the right thing and been like, you know what? This guy makes a good argument. I agree. It's a lesson in trust. Do you trust this man? Yes. on the slammer because they've done the right thing and been like, you don't want this guy makes a good argument. J'agree. It's a lesson in trust. Do you trust this man? Yes. Would you trust a French man? Yeah.

Fuck. No. No. I mean, that's my gut reaction. Absolutely not. God, no. This guy wants 500,000 euros because then that kind of gives him, it's like a prisoner's dilemma except only one side can fuck the other one over really. Yeah. If the prisoner's dilemma involved the guard.

It's kind of a power imbalance here. Yeah. Yeah. These guys should have something to put them on even footing. They should bring a gun to the meeting. How do you form a bond of trust in France? They should kidnap his son. They should start dating his daughter. And then kidnap his son. Yeah. They should start dating his daughter. And then kidnap his son. Yes. And then that way the balance is maintained. The balance is maintained.

They've got some collateral. With the movie Collateral. Scratch card winners have 30 days from the date of purchase to claim their weddings. And for Jean David and his unlikely collaborators, the deadline is fast approaching. His lawyer, Mr. Debuffon, proposed an amnesty. I want to say unlikely collaborators about French guys. Don't. Let's not. My client was very happy to have his credit card stolen in these circumstances and so was not looking to prosecute. He understands the irony. Life is kind of like that sometimes.

Hidden blessings. That's kind of a beautiful story. Could be a hidden blessing. Can you imagine how much you would be best friends with these fucking guys if like, because of them, you got 250,000 euros and- And now they don't have to do crimes. They don't have to steal anybody else's credit card because they get 250,000 euros. Yeah.

I quote, this is also a miraculous opportunity for these two men to build a new life for themselves. Don't be patronizing. Don't fucking talk down to them like that. You don't know them. You don't fucking know these guys. You don't know their story at all. Fuck off. You know what? Fuck you. They don't even want the money. Take your dirty money. Quote, unless they contact my lawyer, the ticket is unusable. So why not settle amicably and do 50-50, 40-year-old Sean DeVede told RTL.

This is so good. Life can be so perfect sometimes. Yeah. What a lovely story. I hope it works out. Yeah, me too. Quote, for that amount of money, I'm ready to come to an agreement, he added, explaining that he would use his share of his winnings, 250,000 euros, to

help pay off his mortgage. The FTJ and Toulouse police have been approached for comment. What are they going to say? Yeah, we're not going to arrest you. Yeah, they're a hundred percent going to arrest these guys anyway. They're going to arrest them, aren't they? There's got to be like a good way that they can do this like some sort of double dead drop situation Like they dead drop the lottery ticket, but they need some sort of leverage

To guarantee the money is dead dropped to them somewhere Yeah, yeah telling me a Frenchman given two lots of 250,000 is gonna give the other one of the lots of 250,000 away Theo have you ever seen that? Why not? It's like a video clip from an uncle song, I think where the guy wakes up and he has a bomb wired to his heart. Are you thinking of the movie Crash? No, I'm thinking of the video clip to a crank.

Uncle song. Crank? Sorry, crank? Uncle. And it's with a K cause they're kind of weird. It is an uncle. No, I know, uh, I know rabbit in your, in your headlights. Oh, that's a good one.

I think it's Burn My Tomorrow's or something. It doesn't matter. They should do it to this guy, to Jean David. Wire a bomb to his heart. And if they don't, he doesn't leave the money under the appointed park bench in a briefcase with no cops around. Bam. Blow him up. Yeah. They just explode his fucking heart. Yeah. Or like the movie Crank or Crank 2. Yeah, probably. To be suspicious when. Yeah, or like the movie Crank, or Crank 2. Yeah, probably.

To be suspicious when someone is promising you that they won't have you arrested and it will cost them 250,000 euros, that's only natural. We talk about natural things in Nature Corner. This comes to us from Michigan Public Radio. Parasitic sea lamprey numbers increased due to COVID pandemic. That's nice. Is that good? Do you guys know what a parasitic lamprey is? Are they the little fellas that like-

Yeah. Can I get you guys to just Google parasitic lamprey? Parasitic lamprey? Parasitic lamprey. Oh! Yeah! Is that maybe like the worst fucking thing you've ever seen in your entire life? It's just got layers.

It's given me like the trypophobia thing. If you got that trypophobia, whatever it is, don't Google parasitic lamprey. It's like a fucked up fleshlight. So many teeth. The fleshlight that takes your blood. Yeah. So they're kind of like a sea leech, except they've got mondo fucking teeth. Yeah, and they're also a fish. So there is such a fish, the thing is a fish, and this is one of them.

You are having a second crack in a week at that joke. I will have as many as it takes. Yeah, so these guys are like fucking horrible. That's too many teeth. Just looking at the mouth is so unpleasant and like you know when you look at the leech you're like well at least it's kind of small. These guys can get like kind of big Like if you scroll down long enough in those good image results

I'm seeing them on some fish Or you see the results of what they do to fish when they pull them off They just carve out like a thumb sized hole from you To take all of your life essence or whatever. I'm not a biologist. They shouldn't be doing that. Well, here's a question Ben Don't they have a right to live? Yes. No. Aren't they part of the beautiful majesty of nature? I guess not. Well, at least he says no.

No, put them to the sword. The number of parasitic sea lamprey in the Great Lakes is up because of COVID reduced control efforts. We're going to get, this one's getting flagged again. What if we say COVID real a bunch of times? During the COVID pandemic, the crews that worked to suppress the fish killing sea lamprey were not able to do as much work for a couple of years, which is like true of like a lot of jobs, but like most of them are kind of didn't

matter. Oh, you know, it was kind of barely working for a couple of years because of COVID. Okay. What does your company do? Kind of like nothing? Yeah. Kind of like moves money around. That's kind of like it. Makes missiles. Well, what about these fucking guys?

What about killing parasitic sea lamprey? Oh, they're probably not killing them, right? Are they supposed to? What's the deal? I think they do just kill them. I think it's just a bunch of guys out there with hammers. Yeah, well, they just whip them against a fence post. Oh, so they just hate these things.

You could imagine whipping that thing against the fence post. Oh, I feel like you'd need one of those barbecue grill gloves, like something grippy, hanging on the tail, while you're whipping it against a lamp post, you know? Yeah. Lamprey meets lamp post, I'd say, but he wouldn't really get it. You know? He might. Yeah.

He'd say that 600 times a day. Last thing before he dies. Not bad. Swamp. Hey man, you should see lamp. It's a bit of work. Bit of work, tiny bit of work. That's because the pandemic forced some hotels to close, required social

distancing and other COVID related barriers to the effort to suppress sea lamprey populations. So they really want these things to go away. Well, to the extent that they're like flying specialist lamprey killers to the Great Lakes. And they can't, because the hotels are closed. They can't put them up in hotels. You couldn't find local lamprey killers?

I don't think there are, I reckon there's just like one roving guy. I think he travels. Yeah, he's got a really good arm on him. Yeah. Looks like Anton Sugar. Sexy, but like untouchable. Like, he's never gonna talk to you again. Like on one hand. It's kind of like Aragon. It's so hard to imagine that he does have like a sexual side to him because he's so sort of inhuman. But Padre was like, he's got to be so physically so in his own body.

Yeah. I saw him grab nine of them by the tail. You're watching him smack those things against a lamppost. What if he smacked me against a lamppost? Quote, as a consequence of that, we are now seeing the results of those increased numbers of sea lamprey that have moved from the streams where sea lamprey breed. Call them stream lamprey because that's confusing. And live their formative years. And then moving out- Yeah, there's quite a few people on the sea lamprey diet.

I was reading on the Wikipedia page. What does that entail? Bake them in a pie. Yeah, what's that? Okay. And they live their formative years also with those streams. And then they're moving out into the lake where they actually feed on our fish, said Greg Clinchy, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.

He says in some localised areas, the sea lamprey population increased as much as 300%, although the results varied around the Great Lakes. And is that three or four times as much? Or two times as much? I think it's fourfold. Fourfold. Yeah, there are fourfold as many lamp raises there were previously because of the 300% increase.

Yeah. Say four times. No, it would have to be inclusive, wouldn't it? Because if you said 200% as many, 100% as many would just be the normal amount. Well, 100% increase, though. That's true. That's twice as much. You're right. It's four times as many would just be the normal amount. Well, 100% increase though. That's true. That's twice as much. You're right.

It's four times as many lampreys. It's confusing. Just say a four-fold increase, Greg Clinchy. It's a four-fold, yeah. There might've just been like eight of them before though, right? We don't know. Yeah, now there's 32. Exactly.

Ah, 32 lampreys. 32. The increase in sea lamprey because of reduced suppression efforts did show that control efforts are important to the Great Lakes fisheries. Quote, this is basically the real world result of an experiment we always suspected, but never dared to undertake. Oh, okay. Yeah.

And that is to see what happens if we ever stop controlling sea lamprey. This is like the opposite of when cops threatened to stop enforcing, like stop and search laws or whatever. Yeah, I don't think they really thought about that because crimes were always going to go down because they're not checking for crimes anymore. So it's going to look good at the numbers sort of regardless. While the sea lamprey is unlikely to ever be eradicated, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission works to keep the population of the parasite limited.

Quote, we want to find numbers that allow fish populations to be stable and even to increase said Clinchy. Yeah. You can't kill them all, but it's like the opposite of that fable of the starfish on the beach. The kid runs out and throwing them all back. So you can't save them all. But it's about killing them.

Absolutely whipping them against the lamp. You can't possibly get them all. Yeah. But I got these ones. I got that one. That's one less fucking lamprey. So I'm just reading that they use the pheromones from the male lamprey to lure the female ones to kill him.

Oh. That's rough. It's the first ever vertebrate pheromone biopesticide. They're ringing him out like a tea towel. Wait a fucking second. I'm a vertebrate. Uh oh. They could use that on me. They could use that on me.

They could use that on us. Acting up because of the lamprey pheromones? Easily 1% of the human population is susceptible to lamprey pheromones. I'm feeling really horny. I think I'm just going to go to that lake over there. You guys horny? Walk over that guy standing next to that street lamp. Looks like he could pick me up.

What's he going to do to me? Is he going to grab me by the feet and swing me around? I would hate it if he slammed me into a lamp post. This is so crazy that no one's talking about the hidden cost of the COVID measures. Yes, we saved lives, but at what cost? At what cost? Hundreds of lamp rates. That's what's getting the episode flagged.

Yeah, this is it. We're fucked now. Yeah, we're fucked. We may as well say all of it. There's COVID in the 5G, Illuminati's controlling everything, Operation Jade Helm, false flag, Sandy Hook. Yes. They're making the frogs gay.
