Okay, whatever, bye. slam on long long pants okay whatever bye Welcome to Buente Vista. This is a bonus episode. My name is Andrew and I'm here at the first annual Buntavista. This is a bonus episode. My name is Andrew and I'm here at the first annual Buntavista bikini competition. First up, a handsome boy, an overwhelming favorite to win the competition wearing a white mesh wicked weasel brand bikini and exuding a raw sexual energy so strong that the local government has issued a
Starting point is 00:02:14 warning. I am of course talking about me. Take a good look everybody. Delicious. Next up, wearing a black t-shirt that's been cut into a midriff that says, I believe, accompanied by a silhouette of Bigfoot, and a pair of extra large Mambo board shorts that have been adopted with scissors into a crude and ill-advised thong, it's Ben. How do you like your chances today, Ben? Now, look, I'm gonna be very honest with you. I'm gonna gonna gonna gonna to to to to be honest, I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna be very to be honest, I'm gonna be very to be very to be honest, I'm to be very to be very to be very to be very to be very to be very their their their, I'm to be very their, to be very to be very to be very, to be very, to be very, to be a very, to be a very, to be a very, to be a very, to be a very, to bea, to bea, to bea, to be a very. to be a very to be very, to be very, to be very to be very to be very to be very to be very to be very, to be very, the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thean. thean. thean. to thean. too. too. too. to to to to to toasel to see if this is a real brand. And I'm going to be honest, the
Starting point is 00:02:48 Google image results, I'm shocked that they made it through safe search. Yeah they're saucy bikinis. There's a lot of nips in there. I am leaving nothing to the imagination. Yeah, that's that's a transparent bikini for sure. Yeah. Yeah. 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 a that's a that's that's that's a that's a that's a 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 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 goooom. I's a their g. I's a sort of mid-2000s kind of, I don't know, porn star bikini kind of vibe, you know. And again I do have to stress that I very genuinely didn't hear a single thing that you said about me before you got to my part so I can't really, I got distracted. So the way that the outfit that you described Andrew is shockingly close to the outfit that, the outfit that you described, Andrew, is shockingly close to the outfit that I literally, that Ben was wearing the first time I met him. The very, was that the first time?
Starting point is 00:03:35 Was that the first time? I don't know if it was the first. Are you sure? I think it might have been possibly the second though. Because Rowy was there and I was, this was for, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, 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 they, they, the the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. no, I, because Rowe was there and I was, this was for Heather Wien, a Brisbane Frizen fixture. I was Manny Calavera from Grim Fendango. Except, you sort of abandoned the headpiece almost instantly. The headpiece was to scale. Yeah, yes.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It was about six foot tall. Looked like a helm from Bloodborne. Yeah, with two little eyes that gave me approximately 13 degrees of vision. Which was very, it was cool, but yeah I asked you just a guy in a... Yeah, in a death. A cloak. A cloak, yeah. A robe. And you were a fellow in a tiny little cutoff crop top with the words gay hooters written on it. And shorts that were surgically shortened to be just the amount of, just the height that you could keep one iPhone 4 in. Yes. Yeah, that's right. The 4 was a good size of phone I reckon. It was a good size of phone. I'm, I'm very much, I'm, I'm very very very very very very very very very, the the the the the the the the the the the the words, I'm, the the words, the the the words, the words, the words, the words, the words, the words, the words, the words, the words, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay's the words the words, gay's the words, gay's the words, gay's the words, gay, gay, gay's the words, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, 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-, yeah, that's right. The four was a good size of phone, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:04:46 It was a good size of phone. I'm very much enjoying the iPhone SE. Oh yeah, that's in the body of a 5, I believe. Yeah. And I don't make, phones are too damn big these days. These days, I tell you what, I, um, my tiny little hands. Yes, you can hear the voice of the third person here. A man who was clutching a squeezy bottle and saying things like,
Starting point is 00:05:15 Nuhh! And Daddy, Lucky. Yeah. It's our official bikini model, Euler, the incomparably horny Theotheo. Now I haven't done one of these before, so I have just picked up a bucket of decking oil. But... But I'll tell you, I'll tell you, that is really making my peahole sting. Yeah. But I splashed out for the good stuff. This is Julex. Yeah, like, it's a... No expense spared.
Starting point is 00:05:47 It's for some my Yarra wood. Yeah. That's... My skin can no longer breathe. But it's not affecting my chances of victory here. Isn't it cool. Have you ever oiled a deck, Andrew or Ben? Sure have. No, I've oiled lots of other things, though.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Never a deck specifically. Well, you should have gotten this job. I'm mainly a deck oiling guy. And it's incredible how deck oil smells exactly like you'd think deck would smell. Sure does. Which is horrendous. But hey, you'll only have to oil that deck, you know. Yeah, once a year, every year until I'm dead. Yes, so 20, 25 years, 20, 25 times, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah, one can of deck oil will probably cover that. So, yeah, yeah, I've got the one can that I had. No, we've actually been through that can. I'm onto the second can, whichthey sold me fucking water-based oil. That doesn't sound right. No, that doesn't sound right at all. Come on. Oh this one it's water and oil. Yeah, I'm like, oh yeah that sounds, that sounds reasonable. Like a fool. Anyway, that's why it's all just sort of fallen off you guys now because uh... It's just basically pigment in water. It's just slid off. It's give me one of those like...
Starting point is 00:07:09 Doesn't stick to the human body at all. British 21 year olds going out to the club. Yeah. It's real splotchy, fake tans. Yeah. Oh man. You got a big old hand print on your butt where I gave you a little, uh... Little good luck slap.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Little good luck tots. You know you can't do that to the contestants here. This is no Donald Trump's Mrs. Universe bikini competition where you can grab pussies left and right. What you have just done to Ben is a crime and we'll be covering it in detail in this edition of Crime Watch. Yeah! Hey! Hey! Oh! the B- H! H!
Starting point is 00:08:08 H! That of course is the sound of what happens when you commit a crime. That is true. It doesn't matter the crime. This is the future that... If I remember correctly... If I recall correctly the C in Max Leverd's acrostic poem that he read out on the show... If I recall correctly the C in Max Laverd's acrostic poem that he read out on the show in the last episode that we did was crime watch theme genuinely upsetting. This is a story from WVLA News in Louisiana.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Now just before we get into this, I think this is this story, even though it's from real life, they're not, this isn't a work of fiction, but it's employing a sort of a narrative technique where you create intrigue by putting in the implication of past events but not specifying what those events are. Oh, I love those articles. So strap in for this. Embattled Louisiana nursing home owner, Bob Dean accidentally shoots thumb off.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Hmm. I love it, there's so much that goes on in America, just I guess due to their larger population. And the general declining mental health and conditions. What class of the empire? Yeah, etc. Yeah, it really bruise a certain efficiency of headline that really bruise ofs that thi.
Starting point is 00:09:54 to thin. that you just don't get in Australia. We would be hard-pressed to fit one and a half things into a headline. That one's got like six. I think probably the crucial thing here is the fact that the name of this nursing home owner is specified and they've put embattled at the start so we're meant to know who this man is in advance. It's not, you know, in Australia, embattled is 90% of the time it's a politician,
Starting point is 00:10:30 10% of the time a sports person. Yeah, and they've just torn across. This is just, yeah. Now, America's introducing a new concept here, that's unfamiliar the Australian, the embattled nursing home owner, and let me go into detail about, yeah. I will dispute slightly that characterization. I think that Australia can have like embattled business owners,
Starting point is 00:10:56 and it is usually this class of person. It's somebody who runs a private business, but is very, is like shanky in a very noteworthy way. Oh, yeah, and I'm thinking of like, George Columbaris. Embattled restauranteur, I guess is maybe. Yeah, we got a lot of restauranteurs that are embattled. Yeah, and I think that often, like to me, embattled in a headline, the vibe that that gives to me is not just that this person's businesses are struggling,
Starting point is 00:11:31 it's that they are publicly saying things like, no they aren't, and I didn't do anything wrong. Yes, they're sweating a lot to cameras and they're like running away from cameras down the street. No, I'm fine mate. No, can't come in here. It's a private property, can't film here. Things like that. Bob Dean Jr. is in the news again, after a recent incident... Very disappointed. This is, sorry, this is such a perfect sentence.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Bob Dene Jr. is in the news again after a recent incident involving a gun. The nursing home owner has been under the microscope since an incident involving residents being moved to a warehouse during Hurricane Ida in August of 2021. Oh dear. Ten days after that incident, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of a nursing home resident who was, quote, cruelly deprived of food and water. Oh, no. So not a good guy. No, don't... Yeah. Which means you don't have to feel bad about any of the things that I'm about to read to you. Fast forward to March 3rd and an officer with the Thomaston Police Department was called
Starting point is 00:12:36 to a report of a person being shot in the hand. The officer arrived at Southern Ford of Thomaston around 620 p.m. and spoke with a salesman who had been in contact with the shooting victim. The shooting victim in this case was Bob Dean Jr. Salesman stated that Dean Jr. was leaving his Ford Bronco at the car dealership for service. Prior to leaving the SUV at the dealership, Dean Jr. took items from that vehicle and moved them to another one. According to the affidavit affidavit quote affidavit quote quote affidavit it quote quote quote affidavit it quote quote quote quote quote affidavit it, quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote quote to the affidavit, the affidavit, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, dealership, Dean Jr. took items from that vehicle and moved them to another one. According to the affidavit, quote, Mr. Dean removed several guns from his Ford Bronco that
Starting point is 00:13:11 he was leaving for a service to a Dodge Ram work truck that he was picking up from service. During the process of moving guns to the Dodge Ram, the salesman was shown a 357 revolver by Mr. Dean. The salesman said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said. to to say. to the to the the to th. to to the to the to the to 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 the the the the the the. the. the.

He.7 revolver by Mr. Dean. The salesman said that Mr. Dean began to, quote, play with the weapon and the weapon discharged. Now this next sentence that I'm about to read you is verbatim as it is written in the news story. Mr. Dean shot his thumb, clean off his hand. Peehow. Blow.
Starting point is 00:13:44 We've talked about this before with another new story of someone in America shooting something clean off their body. That that, once you're defining that it's clean off, that's a serious, you know. That's a injury incompatible with being attached to your body. I wonder if that's the the right term though you know because taking something clean off that's that kind of gives to me the vibe of say say say an ancient samurai yeah cut your hand off with one of the guys from horse steel yeah yeah yeah with
Starting point is 00:14:21 this finally honed kata yeah that's clean off, and I think you would have a great chance of having it surgically reattached. Yeah, clean off is like, oh, perfect matches right up. And the x-ray vision kind of comes across. And you're perfect slash slicing your head like 45 degrees off. And then someone can just pick that up and kind of super glue around the brain, uh, the skull and stra, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the thee theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the the the thi, th someone can just pick that up and kind of superglue around the brain, the skull and straight on and you're good to go. But nothing about the 357 magnum gives me the impression of surgical disattachment. You're suggesting that he he shot his thumb unclean off his hand? Yeah, I'm with Andrew on this one. I think he did his thumb dirty. Yeah. I picture it like clean off to me is when somebody cuts off somebody else's head, but at
Starting point is 00:15:10 first it doesn't look like anything has happened. Yeah, maybe. They take a pause but suddenly a line appears across their neck and it slowly starts to slide off their body. They take one step forwards, their head stays in the same place and kind of just teeters backwards off their body. And then an eight foot high jet of blood shoots straight up. Maybe you're like the vampire elder Victor in the movie Underworld and Kate Beckinsail has just sort of gone past you with a sword.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Wow. Yeah. Yeah, you stand there for a little bit and then slides off. Yeah. But I don't see that happening with a thumb and a 357. You don't think this man was taught at a car dealership, twirling his gun and he was looking to car sales when he's like, oh, you like what you see. And then the gun goes off and they both stand there perfectly still. They're both thinking to themselves, oh we've both really and literally dodged a bullet here. His thumb just slides off, slides on his body. A little jet of blood. Very small jet of blood shoots out. Yeah, now of course the 357 Magnum famous for being the gun, Bud Dwyer used. Oh, we're a two for two of episodes where Bud Dwyer is coming. Yeah. And I don't mean that to be a thing. It's just in my thoughts pretty much every single day.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So no, I'm thinking, I'm definitely picturing a raggedy stump here. Yeah. Bone shards, I think, are involved. Yeah. There's a certain amount of it that is just lost, right? That is just smithereens. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, their, they, they, they, thens, thier, thier, thier, thier, thier, thier, thier, th, thin, thier, thin, thin, thin, thin, and thin, yeah, and I thin, and I thin, and I thin, and I don't thi, and I don't thi, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I thin, and I thin, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I don't, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't tho-s thoan, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don't thin, and I don it that is just lost, right? That is just smithereens. Like, yeah, they've got a little pile of stuff that's just like no good anymore. Yeah. And if he does get that thumb reattached, it's going to be shorter than it was before, certainly. I was just trying to find out who Bob Dean's senior is. To see how disappointed it'd be. Well, like it's th th th th th th th th there there there's there's there's there's there's there's th is th is thi thi thus there's thi there's thi thi thi thi thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thioliolioli. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's just just thi. It's just thi. It's just thi. It's just thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. It's just just just thi. It's just just thi. Well, like it turns out it's a pretty, seems like it's a pretty common name, you know? There's a lot of Robert Dean seniors out there and people who had sons named Bob Dean Jr.
Starting point is 00:17:20 The only one on Wikipedia though, and this is who I secretly hope that it is, is Robert Dean, a ufologist from Tucson, Arizona. Dean retired from the US Army as a command sergeant major after a 28-year career. He appeared on radio programs, TV documentaries, and a conference discussing the subject of UFOs and a government cover-up of alien visitations to Earth. Dean claimed to have viewed a classified government document called the Assessment. That allegedly discussed threats posed by alien activity on Earth and concluded that no such threats existed.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Dean said he considers himself a professional UFO researcher and had, quote, cosmic top-secret clearance while in the military. In 1992, while employed as an emergency services coordinator for Pima County, Arizona, Dean sued his employer for discrimination, saying he was treated unfairly because of his belief in UFOs, reportedly settling for $100,000. Oh, shit. He won? Got a little something.
Starting point is 00:18:20 A little taste. He got that UFO discrimination money. Holy fuck. This is why strong protections for employees is so important. A little taste. He got that UFO discrimination money? He got that UFO discrimination money. Holy fuck. This is why strong protections for employees are so important in the workplace. Well done, to Robert Dean, not so much to his son. If it is his son. I'm choosing to imagine that this is his son.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Yeah, he moved away from Arizona to Louisiana because of the controversy. I always think that if you're like 60 years old, which I assume this guy is, and you can't be called Junior. Yeah, you lose that. Anyway, that's a fucked up thing for you to be called. Yeah. You should be, once you become a man, once you've had your bar mens fur, you lose the junior. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You just bob Dean. Dean Jr. left the weapon in the Dodge Ram and fled the scene with his wife at a Mercedes. Nice little bit of colour there. Oh shit, they can't find out who blew this, he blew my finger off. Deputy subsequently performed a welfare check at Mr. Dean's residence. According to the affidavit, Miss Dean, quote, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, thuui, thuu just just just, the, thu just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just, you you just just, you just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just, the the thu, 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.e.ean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, they. Dean's residence. According to the affidavit, Miss Dean, quote, was visibly upset but stated she was concerned about Mr. Dean and him bleeding uncontrollably. An argument ensued between Mr and Mrs. Dean. Law enforcement is... I don't think you should have. I think I should have.
Starting point is 00:19:42 It's an old argument. They've been having it for ages. When are you going to do the dishes? The Second Amendment does protect your right to try and do like cool gun tricks from a western. Yeah. To shoot a whole bunch of times at the ground and see if you rise up into the air like Yosam to Sam. It's basic physics. Yep. I don't see how it couldn't work. Hand me those guns. Law. thu guns. thu guns. thu guns. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. I thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. I thu. I thu. thu. thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu.

I thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu it couldn't work. Hand me those guns. Law enforcement was asked to leave the property and Mr. Dean denied assistance from emergency medical services. The affidavit's... Get out of here. What's the big deal? So good. The affidavit said that local jail would not take Mr. Dean in until he was medically cleared.
Starting point is 00:20:19 So if you just refused to be cheated for your injuriestreated for your injuries, they can't take you to jail. A life hack for you there. According to the Thomaston Police Department, Mr Dean is facing these charges, reckless conduct, discharging a firearm on the property of another, discharge a gun near a public highway. Uh, the Thomaston Police Department says Mr Dean has yet to be served the warrants. He's winning in my opinion. I mean, what are they gonna, how they're gonna serve him as warrants?
Starting point is 00:20:53 It's just gonna drop straight to the ground. If you're gonna have a, you know, actually, I take it back. I was sort of thinking myself, you know what, he's really got one over on him here, you know. But I was sort of thinking, yeah, all you have to do to not get put in prison is to be just very injured and refuse medical care. But the reason they're trying to put him in jail is for the act that resulted in him requiring the medical care. So it's kind of, it's a bit of a vicious circle there where where where where where, where, where, where, th, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to him requiring the medical care. Perfect crime. So it's kind of, it's a bit of a, it's a bit of a vicious circle there where it's like, if you want to stay out of prison, refuse care for shooting off your thumb. But also if you want to stay out of prison, don't shoot your thumb at
Starting point is 00:21:34 the dumber. That's the dealership want to shoot your thumb off, I can just go for it. That's your business. That's your business. I was just looking at another story here to see if there are any other details about what happened there. But the only thing that this news station was able to provide that the other one didn't is the house that he went back to is his remote lakefront m. Let's fill in your picture of Bob Dean. His remote lakefront mansion. Shooting thumb off while playing with gun. Owns a car dealership.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Does he own a car dealership? No, he owns a... He owns several nursing homes that being threatened with foreclosure. Yeah, no, he's just, he was just visiting a car dealership. Shooting his thumb off was probably the last thing that he wanted to happen that day. It's time for the one thing that we didn't want to happen. This is the one thing we didn't want to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen to happen This is the one thing we didn't want to happen. He said it, he said the name of the...
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah, pointing at the screen. This is, I think this is going to enter a canon of a type of story that we've done once or twice before, um, of a specific type of industry doing whoopsies. This is from KAIT News in Arkansas. Funeral home sued after man hoping to be, quote, raptured is cremated. Now hearing that headline, what do you believe has occurred here?
Starting point is 00:23:19 Because I got it very wrong when I clicked on it. Just hit us with it one more time. Funeral home sued after man hoping to be raptured is cremated. Okay. So has he has he paid for the rapture? Or is this just miscommunicated, do you think? I think this was down to a miscommunication. I initially heard that Bretwell saw this and thought, did a guy say, hey, I would like to be raptured right now? Can you put me in the cremater? And then they cremated him,
Starting point is 00:23:53 which is not what happened. Oh, OK. You think he was, this was a live man. A Jonesborough attorney has filed a lawsuit against a Little Rock funeral home after his client said the funeral home cremated their loved one against their wishes, preventing the deceased from being, quote, raptured following the second coming. Can you, can you raptu? A dead person? Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I don't want to, you know, I didn't grow up in one of those churches, but my understanding
Starting point is 00:24:26 is that you had to be alive to be raptured. Yeah, he's misdemeanored by dying. It's got to suck when you get raptured and you're like, here I am in the beautiful kingdom of heaven. There's my big golden mansion and then there's like a twinkle of light and a loud thu-up thuuuu to you? But I also was under the... We also raptured your husband? Oh, ew. My understanding was that the rapturing was just that the remaining living humans that, you know, had accepted Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior would be taken into the Kingdom
Starting point is 00:24:58 of Heaven, but that you would, if you had died before the rapture happened and you were a, you know, a faithful Christian, you already would be. You already up there. Yeah. You don't need to worry about what's happening here earthly remains. It's very confusing. According to the suit, Harold D. Lee of Pauline, South Carolina, wish to be buried next to his parents at a Quitman Arkansas cemetery after he's found dead on Thanksgiving Day of 2019. It's quite grim. That very specific plan that he had.
Starting point is 00:25:30 The lawsuit filed by Brandon Lacey of Lacey Law Firm on March 8th said how it was... Sounds kind of erotic. The sexiest law firm. Little Rock, Arkansas. We're all wearing wicked weasel bikinis under our pantsuits. Why do you know about wicked weasel bikinis? Just an old guy who's been horny for a long time, I guess. Yeah, you have a champ.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Lawsuit said Harold was transferred to Roller McNutt funeral home. They started his final wishes. I don't know why that. It's not even like what? It's not even like what? It's not even funny, but. Roller McNutt funeral home. It's like it doesn't make... Roll a McNutt, funeral time. It's...
Starting point is 00:26:26 Like, it doesn't make any sense, but something about that is very evocative to me. Look, I highlighted that text, and I put it in bold for a reason. It sounds like you're saying, roll a McNutt. It does. Which, worse product you can get from your local McDonald's. Yeah, that is a vile of McDonald's. McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's. the McDonald's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. It's, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, th. It's, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what???? What. th. th.

So you know, it's quite cheap. The six page suit stated the family, quote, made arrangements with Roller-McNut funeral home for the purposes of the transfer
Starting point is 00:27:00 funeral arrangements, casket purchase and internment. Being extremely religious, the suit stated Harold, quote, stickily desired not to be cremated as he believed his body would be raptured following the second coming. He stickily desired it because he spilled his mnut on the loathe. I really, I guess that quote needs to be read out by someone with an Arkansas accent for stickily desired to be read out by someone with an Arkansas accent for stickily desired to really hit. I say, I say Harold stickly desired not to be cremated.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I am, I'm picturing the space chicken lawyer from Futurama at this point. I mean he's pretty clearly based on Foghorn, leghorn, the voice. I mean he's pretty clearly based on Foghorn leghorn voice. What? He believed his body would be raptured following the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second the second.... I the second the second the second the second the second the second the second. I the second. I the second. I'm the the the the the the the the the the to to to the to the the the to the to the the to the to the toe. I toe. I toe. I the toe. I toe. I the toe. I toe. I I I. I. I I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I say. I know. I guess that's true. He's doing the foghorn leg-horn voice. He believed his body would be a rapture, following the second coming. If you're raptured, do you, is that no clip? Or does he have to like be pulled through the casket. I think of a basket.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I think you clip straight through everything. I mean, it's. It's a, he.think he just, he fires out of there like a cannonball through the side of a ship. It's your eternal soul that's going to your eternal rest. Oh, okay. However, Ben, you will recall that in many popular depictions of rapturing, people clip straight through their own clothes and leave them behind.
Starting point is 00:28:21 That is true. tr That is true. Much like in the movie, left behind. Yeah, I guess some they have them like floating upwards into heaven and stuff, but I just, I have a different understanding of the rapture to this man, I guess is what I'm saying. Like, what all I'm pretty getting raptured and there's just wicked weasel bikid wi-kid and wise. And there's just wicked weasel. They-a-Wi-wease-wease-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-they're they're they're they're they're they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're they're they're they're they're just they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just wi, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea, the-wea, the-wee, their their their their their their their their their wi, their wi, their wi, their wi, their-wea. This is not paid placement for the iPhone SE or for any other products. I don't even know if they still make them. You know, apparently it's an Australian company. Oh, that's nice. However, the funeral home notified the family on December 10th, 2019 that they quote,
Starting point is 00:29:01 accidentally cremated the body. Whoopsies. We did a tiny oopssy. We did a tiny oopssy.. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh the the the the the the th.

I phone phone phone. th. th. accidentally cremated the body. Whoopsies. Whoopsy. We did a tiny oopsie. We tripped down some stairs. The car's got flopped open. The body went flying into an incinerator. The foot sort of hooked the door, closing it shut behind it. And the vibration turned the machine on and the body was cremated.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Shame. A lot of steps in that accident. Yeah. Well that's why it doesn't happen that often. It's very rare, but you think how many... Most of the time, yeah, the body lands in the burner there and doesn't close immediately. They just, oh! Yep, they just brush the ashes off. Yeah, gonna wanna pop that out of there. And, uh, back in the coffin. The suit stated that the plaintiff, Eunice, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun, Eun-un, Euni, Euni, Euni, Euni, Euni, un un, un, un, un, the plaintiff, the plaintiff, that, that out of there and back in the coffin. The suit stated that the plaintiff, Eunice Lee, Harold's wife, was violently shaking in shock when she learned of the mistake. That's obviously. Again, as with all of the funeral whoopsies that we have talked about, this is probably very traumatizing. Yeah, uh, I was going to say, look, semantics aside about whether or not you need to be clothed or aliveedededededededededededededededededededededed to be alive to be alive to be alive to be alive to be alive to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be 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 be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to say, look, semantics aside about whether or not you need to be clothed or alive to be raptured.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Wicked weasel, no. Yeah, that's frankly none of our business. When they say you can't take it with you. Yeah, they can't take your wicked weasel with you when you go. That's none of our business. Yeah, they get you to change out of your black one and put a white one on when you get to heaven. Give you the wings, the halo, a little white wicked weasel bikini. Come on in! Oh, grandma! However, it would very much suck, particularly if in this person's case or this person's
Starting point is 00:30:51 wife's case, particularly if you very, very strongly believed that this was going to have an impact on the status of his everlasting soul. Although, look, let's go back to the semantics for a second because that's what I'm all about. You did start this exact argument with putting semantics behind. Leave the semantics behind like your wicked weasel when you get wrapped. But I am going back to the semantics for a second to say, if you have been like a devout Christian for your whole life and you die, that's your one-way ticket to heaven, right?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Why does he need to, like, where do you, when you get raptured, you go in a heaven? That's the deal. You're going to the same heaven, yes. So what, does he, does he want a second rapturing? Does he think that would work? Does he think he's not going to to to to to to to to to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to go to to to the their their their their their their their their their their their there? I don't think that would work. I think... Does he think he's not going to heaven on the first run? He needs to get... He should already be in heaven at this point. I think so. I think he should be looking down on this and going, I, I messed that one up. I was focused on the wrong part. I'm here, I'm here. I'm here now. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm a a a a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big a big.

Starting point is 00:32:05 in my big golden house on the golden streets of heaven. That's what you picture heaven to be. I think it's what a lot of people picture heaven to be. Yeah, that's what I pictured it to be like as a kid. I specifically remember being like, like under the age of 10 and then, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, thi, the, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, thi, tho, tho, 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 thi, the thi, thi, thi, the, theat, theat, theat, tooooooooooa, thea, thea, theat, theat, the, the, the the toys I wanted. Well that does sound good actually. You're getting that, you're getting that, the transformer with the chest that pops open, it's got a little tape in it that turns out, sound waves. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm getting sound waving in heaven. I'm going to like the aisles that are for like the big the big the big the big the big the big the big the big the big the big tha thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th-s, th-s, th-s, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the-s, that-s, that-s, that-s, that-s, that-s, that-s, that, that, that, that, that, the aisles that are for like the big kids toys, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:46 the RC cars that take actual petrol and stuff, you know? I'm going crazy. They got as much gasoline up there as you want. Roller McNutt waived the cost of funeral, apologize for the mistake, and returned the $5,000 that was paid in burial insurance after the mistake was made, according to the lawsuit. We're sorry. Harold's family is asking for financial restitution and to recover damages. An attorney for the funeral home, Michael Harrison, admitted his clients cremated Harold, but denied all other allegations made by his family.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Isn't it, I, feels like the cremation of Harold is sort of the crux of the thing. Yeah. Unless, but like if they swept out the chamber and then they're like, where's your proof? Although it's probably easier to prove that you buried him that it is to prove that you didn't cremate him. Yeah. Wow, we don't want to want it. You. You. We to. We to to to to to. You to to to to to to to to to to that. It?? that. It that. It that. It th the the th.

It easier to prove that you buried him than it is to prove that you didn't cremate him. Yeah Well, we don't want to you know Dig that up. That'd be rude. I mean are the rest of the allegations that they No, because they've admitted it's a mistake So what are the rest of the are the other allegations you stopped my husband from being raptured at a future date? Counterpoint, no we didn't.
Starting point is 00:34:07 No, I didn't. He's already there. Yeah, maybe they're just doing semantics in court. That would be pretty cool. Yes, it turns out the Bible is the real good news. It would be like that, um, was it, the thing where the little kid in America, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, uh, the, the, the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, uh, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, uh, the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, the, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, 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.. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, a it was the thing where the little kid There was a little kid in America who had some sort of like near-death experience Colton Burpo You're talking about Colton Burpo? Wait, hang on, is this one of those things where someone has tricked me into believing that?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Oh, no, it's his real name. Coulton Burpo, the little kid who had some sometype of near-death experience, and then when he woke up his family said, remember how you went to heaven and saw God? And he said, Yes, I did. And they're like, no, for real. That's what you saw. Let's go talk to Dr. Phil about it. And they did a whole bunch of TV stuff. And then I'm pretty sure they made, they made a movie out of the book. The book was th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the of the of the of the of theateathea. the. the. theateate. the. the the the the the the. the the the. the. the. the. the. th. the their, th. th. th. their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeee. the theeeeee. the the the the the the the. the the they made a movie out of the book the book was called heaven is for real a little boy's astounding story of his trip to heaven and back a New York Times bestseller The the book documents the report of a near-death experience by Todd Burpo's three-year-old son, Colton.
Starting point is 00:35:29 You know what, it's fucking three. You think a three-year-old knows about anything that they're doing? Geez. Todd Burpo is almost funnier than Coulton, Burpo. Yeah, yeah, because there's a real... Todd is, yeah, the juxtaposition. Yeah, it disarms you some. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. to so?? Okay. to so. to so. to so. to so? Oh. too? too? too? they? they? too? too? the too? too? too? too. too. too. too? the the too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too?. too? Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it disarms you somewhat. Todd, okay, Burpo? For real?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Come on now, all right, so they adapted this into the 2014, Heaven is for real, starring Starring Connor Corum as Coulton Burpo. I'm saying what? Well, who else are you going to get to play it? Starring, Connor Coerterm as Co, to to told and Burter, to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the to to tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, Burpo, Burpo, Burpo, Burpo, Burpo? th, Burpo, Burpo, Burpo? th, Burpo? th, Burpo? th, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, Burpo, Burpo?

Oh, Greg Kinnear's in all of those. As Sonia Burpo. Ben, you look surprised.
Starting point is 00:36:13 No, I was trying to figure out whether Greg Keneer was also in that horrible the secret movie that I watch, but I don't think I was. No, he does spiritually... He does a lot of the spiritual movies. So in my recollection of this story, because I haven't seen the movie or read the book as surprising as that might be, I'm pretty sure that there are courtroom scenes of this little boy testifying that heaven is wheel. Hey, now, Colton-Burpo, that's a Great American name. It's time of course for the Great American Hall of Name. It's the Great American Hall of Name. It's the Greatboy Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Now Theo, you're laughing already and for good reason. Prepare yourselves for this. I'm going to start off slowly. This is nice and gentle. Nothing too crazy. to you. And for good reason, prepare yourselves for this. I'm going gonna start off slowly.
Starting point is 00:37:25 This is nice and gentle, nothing too crazy. Gotta ease me into it like a bath. Yeah, it's sort of like a American Hall of Name training kit. Start with a really small one and then get bigger and bigger until, you know. Like, like stretching out you. Yes. Yes. Yes. Welden Bergun. and bigger until you know. Like, like stretching out, you... Yeah. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Weldon Bergoon. Sorry, you start me with the normal one, you say? Yeah. That's right. This is supposed to feel like this? Murtus Dightman. Murtis? M-Y-R-T-I-S, Murtus.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Dightman, of course, D-I-G-H-T-M-A-N. That's just about as silly as one of my favorite movies, Dead Heat, which stars a cop who becomes a detective named Roger Mortis, but his name was like a joke on purpose, you know. This is this man's real name. Huh. Quail Dobbs. Roy Doyle Dobs.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Royd Doyle. Tut Garnet. Spicer Grip. Slow down. Delbert Hattow. Delbert Hadaway. Delbert, come on now. Denny McClannahan. Punch Oglesby.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Tough overturf. Oh yes. Yes. Joe Beaver. Glenn Bird. Todd Fox. I love when they start getting thematic. William Hogg. Bob Creel. Skipper driver. Brady crumpler. Farrell Butler.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Oh that one's avocative. Mike Tucker. Warren Gunn. Buster Ivory. Ray Mayo. John Gas. Johnny Mellon. Hobbes Shed. Monty Penny. This is the stupidest segment they do.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Rusty Riddle. Chick Elms. Delbert Wise. The second Delbert. That's two tellets. Junior Meek. Gary Greg. Wacy, Kathy?
Starting point is 00:40:52 Wacy? This man's first name is WACY. Wacy. Wacey. Wacie. Sandy Kirby. Goddam. To Kirby. God damn. Toots Mansfield.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Tudor Waits. And I got two last ones here for you. Dickie Richard. And Dickie Cox. What? Oh. Oh, that's what's going on. I also, I didn't include it, but there was like seven people in the Hall of Fame who had the last name gay and I was like, no.
Starting point is 00:41:36 That's low-hanging fruit. Sure made me laugh though. Yeah, you're just getting the highbrow ones in this segment. Yeah, absolutely. It's beautiful. You know, with names like that, I don't think these people are living in the real world. But when you want to check in on reality, the one and only place to go is the world of the British tabloid. It's time for tabloid phenomenon. I love the real world of Britain. A whist-headed man destroys church.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Keep a noise phenomenon. I love the real world of Britain. Yep, a whole bunch of people keeping it real. Like this person from Yorkshire Live. Screaming Woman kicked off Jet 2 flight was on way to Turkey for 3,000 pound teeth. How's she going to carry them? They're going to charge so much for that on a flight back. Can I get that on your check-in? Yeah. Trying to fit him into that little frame, they give you a for the bang. The aggressive Yorkshire woman who has been banned from flying on jet too after screaming in cabin crew's faces was on her way to get 3,000 pound veneers.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Shocking footage shows Catherine Bush pacing up and down the flight from Manchester to Antalya in Turkey on Monday. The mother of one from Cleckheaton... Get the fuck out of you. Had been saving to get 20 zirconium veneers, a friend told mail online and added she was quote excited end quote about the trip. Yeah, I've highlighted a friend there. I feel like grassing on your mate. It's not a great friend.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Yeah, but how much do they pay them? Yeah, it's true. How many times a day you reckon that Manchester to Antolia flight is running? I think that's a thrice daily service that one. Yeah. Truly, truly one of my th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the thi th that's a thrice daily service, that one. Yeah. Truly, truly one of my favorite things about Brexit was all of the people who were like, wait a minute, what do you mean? I cannot constantly travel back and forth from like Spain all the time where I live because I hate Britain. Yeah. That was good stuff. However, she didn't make it to Turkey after she turned violent on a flight over crying babies and she also tried to open a door mid-flight.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Have you seen any movies, lady? Yeah. I love one. This is not the only story I saw from the last week or so of someone trying to open a door mid-flight either. Like, I think people go, it's kind of like space madness, but it's on a plane. Plain madness, I guess. I think that they're just in the pursuit of truth. Well, like you don't have to trust like everything that the government
Starting point is 00:44:38 tells you. That's true. You know, you go around your life just going like, oh that door leads to the outside of the plane? Have we checked? Yeah. Have you checked personally, Ben? I never have. You know what, you know, I think sometimes that they're afraid of that saying, you know, when you ban someone from opening the door on a plane, you're not only, you're telling them that they're afraid of what would happen if you've... But there's a reason they don't want to
Starting point is 00:45:11 go out there and it's probably really cool. If you, if you make it a crime to open the door to the outside of a plane, then only criminals will open the door to the outside of the plane. Yeah, yeah I think that's what I was trying. trying. trying. trying. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the o' thi. thi. thi thi. 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 their thr. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. th door to the outside of the plant. Yeah, yeah, I think that's what I was trying to think of here. Yeah. Do you want to put all that power in the hands of criminals? What do you want everyday just normal people like you what's her name Madison? So coming back to space madness for a second. Catherine Bush, Catherine Bush, yeah, Cathy, Cuth.. Coming back to space madness for just a moment. So Ben, what in your estimation, as a person who has read many hard science fiction books and watched numerous films about space travel, what do you think it is about space travel that prompts space madness to show itself.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Isolation, fear of the outside, an innate sense of the awareness of how far away you are from home and how inaccessible it is. And also, it's probably demons or something as well sometimes. Maybe a bit of like cosmic radiation. Yeah, like the sun, for some reason, for unclear reasons. So and space travel can take a very long time, correct? Yes, that is true. So you may well be trapped in your capsule for for months, perhaps even years, depending on where you're going. The flight from Manchester to Antalya takes four and a half hours. Oh yes, my man's got receipts.
Starting point is 00:46:49 That, like, I'm just saying... You're gonna get so mad about us, not, not saying the word Anatolia right once. But how's that pronounced? Anatoly? Is it? I don't know. I'm just looking at how it's spelt in this story and I have no idea. I assume they're talked the they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their they're their they're their their they're their their their their their their toling their their their thing toling toling thi thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. I'm just th. th. thing. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tol-a. toling. toled. toling. toling. I'm toling. I'm toling. I'm toli. I'm toing. I'm toing. I'm toing. I'm toing. I'm toing. I'm toli. I'm toing. I'm to. I'm to how it's spelt in this story and I have no idea. I assume they're talking about the little bit of Asia minor there. Hmm. The Wikipedia pronunciation is telling me that it's pronounced Antalya. Oh, so closer to what I was saying than what it was saying then...
Starting point is 00:47:18 Yeah, it seems like for the first time in the history of the podcast. Andrew was correct. Andrew, play the Andrew was correct theme. So all I'm saying is that I don't think four and a half hours is kind of the span of time at which one would normally lose their grip on their sanity, you know, lose a few roles and take on damage from space madness, or plane madness as it were. I think to acquire plane madness, you're looking at at least sort of, at least 24 hours on the plane and even then, I think you're only taking pretty, pretty minor, kind of damage, you know. Either that or a situation where you have boarded the plane to a destination and
Starting point is 00:48:05 The plane just kind of keeps going and after a while you forget when you got on the plane and You start to lose focus on where the plane was meant to be going Who are you? A lot of the other passengers seem to be people from your past? Maybe maybe some sort of ghostly Remnant of someone from your future, you start to forget where you are and what's happening, you know, but that hasn't happened to me too many times. So, yeah. I'm just saying I don't think plane is, uh, it's not covered by Medicare. Well, usually the sort of, these sort of incidents are kicked off by someone getting on a plane from, let's say, Rock Hampton to Melbourne, and then they have seven Bundy Rums and Coke.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Seven Bundy rum and coaques. Seven Bundy and coax. Yeah. And they're kicking in at like T plus 30, by which time you're already in the air. Yeah, Errowind Trip Report, ingested seven Bunney and Cokes. Oh, holky fuck. Holy fuck. I am the pilot now. Let's get this son of a bitch to do a flip. Yep. I wish I could find this quote. I saw a tweet the other day. They asked, I'm going to go with, just for example's sake, an astronaut from like a polo eight. You know, what was it like up there?? there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, and he there, and he there, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he, and he's thi, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, I, I'm thi, I thi, I'm thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm th.

I'm th thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm to go with just for example's sake an astronaut from like Apollo 8 You know what was it like up there etc and he's like you know it's beyond our ken to
Starting point is 00:49:32 Describe this stuff you know we're here to do the mission etc you know unable to find the words right should have sent a poet Mm-hmm and then they asked this guy from like Apollo 13, there was a like up there and he's like, yeah, it was really neat. Just very cool. Just immune to space madness like, oh, they do um, this is tops. Yeah, people do seem to talk about, um, like people who've gone up on the space station and stuff like that. All seem to talk about how like being able to see most of the earth at one time really fucks with your head
Starting point is 00:50:13 a bit, really gives you the whole kind of, oh, pretty small out here, aren't we? Kind of vibe. Yeah, except for the one guy that's like, this is cool. I've got the quote here, Theo. Oh, thank you. As the Gemini and Apollo Apollo, 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. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is being being being being being being being being being being thi is being thi is being thi is being thi is being theeea thea thea' thea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea' thea' thea' thea' that's like, this is cool. I've got the quote here, Theo. Oh, thank you. As the Gemini and Apollo astronaut Michael Collins once put it, so Michael Collins, of course, is the guy who stayed in the land. He did not go to the moon. Yeah, stayed in orbit around the moon. It was not me getting up there and saying, I'm good. I'm fine, you guys go on ahead. I'm fine here. I want to finish this chapter of my book, then I got to do some laundry, why don't you guys just...
Starting point is 00:50:49 20 pages left. Plus I really got a shit. It was not within our care to share emotions or to other extraneous information. Ask what it was like to go to the moon, Apollo 12's Pete Conrad replied, super really enjoyed it. That to me is extremely boss. That's great stuff. The moon pretty neat. Oh, you gotta go. Top top ten places I mean, honestly. Oh man, asking Michael Collins, Oh, you've...
Starting point is 00:51:20 They haven't been to the moon? Oh, you simply must. You'd love it there. Oh, you gotta get up there. Did Michael Collins end up going on the moon eventually??? to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the to, to, the the the the to, th, thi, thi, is thi, is extremely thi, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely thi, is extremely thi, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely, is extremely thi, is extremely 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 moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiioliolioliolioliolves, is extremely thiolioliolioli, is extremely thi, is extremely thi, is extremely th the moon? Oh, you simply must. You'd love it there. Oh, you gotta get up there. Did Michael Collins end up going on the moon eventually? Or did he just, was he moon-cucked for the rest of his life? Yeah, it feels like you gotta send Michael Collins to the moon, right? Like you gotta throw him a freebie. Uh, it went around. Yeah, you get absolutely wild frequent flyer points
Starting point is 00:51:47 from going to the moon once, you know. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think you weren't on the moon. Yeah, there's just like him, there's Buzz Aldron, Neil Armstrong I'm going to go with. Is that right? Yep. At a party. Oh, oh, so what, you know, what was it like, you know, jumping about on the moon surface, et cetera? And the other two guys are just, you know, wheeling off cool little details, things that they remember,
Starting point is 00:52:23 et cetera, and Michael's just like staring off into space over his beer. Yeah, I might just go, I'm just going, I'm just going to grab another one from the fridge, guys. You can tell he's got a full beer as well already. It's like, oh, I need to get another drink. No, you don't. Michael. He's just turning to the person next to him and asking, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, to him, to him, to him, to to to to to to the to to to to the to to to the to to to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th thr.e. the th the the th th thi. the the the the the the person next to him and asking, have you read The Firm by John Grisham? Which is crazy, man, really interesting, really cool. These guys are always talking about themselves, always talking about how they walked on the moon. I'm so sick of it. No one asked me, like, hey, what was it like being on the other side of the moon? Like, thi thii tho tho tho than that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that. that that that. that. that. that. that. th th th th that, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, that, really, that, that, that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that being on this side of the minute. Yeah, it's very similar.
Starting point is 00:53:07 It's very similar. No one ever walks up to me and says, hey, Michael Collins, what was it like being the second person to orbit the moon alone? Was he not the first? He was not the first. Oh because Apollo 9 went around the moon. Is it right? I don't know. I've already closed the Wikipedia. Okay that's crazy. What are we doing? What's the... I think we got up to
Starting point is 00:53:33 opening a door mid-flight. Witnesses also claim she reportedly slapped other passengers on board the flight during her aggressive outbursts. Plain madness. Due to Catherine's foul-mouth rants, the flight diverted to Vienna so she could be kicked off the flight. That's got to be just, it's such a pointed thing to be like we are landing the plane in Austria. In Austria, your Austria is a problem now. Hang on what's, where's...
Starting point is 00:54:05 Austria in relation to... Yeah. It's most of the way there. They kind of tou-scoub-down like an hour early. Yeah, God, just everyone. Imagine the looks you'd be getting withering, withering stairs from everyone else. It would be, it would be one of those situations like, like, I don't know if either of you guys have ever been in one of these sorts of situations
Starting point is 00:54:29 where somebody is absolutely making a scene and wied up getting themselves forcibly removed from a place. And as they are being removed, everybody gives a weary round of applause. Yeah, like, that's, I think that applause has got to cut deep, even if you think you're right, which this lady probably did. I think, I think to be walking around and slapping everyone, you've got to feel pretty confident that, you know, in your position. In the righteousness of your cause, opening the door.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Yeah, and then copying the weary round of applause from a bunch of strangers. You failed to convince anybody on the plane. Not a single person was like, hey, let's hear her out. Yeah. You're right. That baby did deserve to be tipped on the floor. Let her open the door. I want to see what's out there too. She's a scientistthere too. She's a scientist, you know.
Starting point is 00:55:27 That sort of like rejection from an entire plane full of people probably hits hard on like one of the monkey parts of your brain as well. Like imagine if your entire troop of monkeys that you lived in just suddenly was like, hey, we all want you to fuck off. Yeah, they all started keeping the bananas to themselves. Yeah. Nobody offered you a single cigarette. They've formed a grooming circle and left no space for you in there whatsoever. Everybody's sort of ignoring you as you say, guys, oh nobody told me there was a grooming circle. Hey Jerry you want to scooch just a little... Jerry's not even looking up. Yeah pretending like he's really busy trying to find one particular... yeah. He's acting hyper-a? just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just their he's he's he's he's he's he's not he's not he's not he's not he's not he's not their he's not their their their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their their grooming their grooming their grooming circle. He's not their grooming circle. He's not their grooming their grooming circle. He's not their their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not their their their their their their their their their their their their their g. He's not their grooming their their. He's not their. He's not their. He's not looking up. Yeah. Pretending like he's really busy trying to find one particular. He's acting hyper-focused, but you know he has good hearing. He can hear you.
Starting point is 00:56:11 You know, Jerry's ignoring you. Yep. Bridget? Bridget, you want me to get those, there's bugs? Bridget's saying nothing. It's got to hurt. No one? No one. I guess I can... I can get the ones that are on my stomach, but I'm going to have trouble reaching the ones on my back if anyone's... Maybe free later? Crickets. Be awful. The friend...
Starting point is 00:56:40 You know, I know that friend, The friend told mail online, I was with Catherine in the pub at the weekend. She told me she was excited about going to Turkey. She said she had scraped together 3,000 pounds from her savings for cosmetic surgery on her teeth. She was going to have them whitened. 3,000 pounds have your fucking teeth whitened? But I don't think that adequately, yeah, she's getting gems on the front. 20 circodium veneers.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Yeah, no, she's, yeah, this friend didn't get the full story, I don't think. She didn't get the skinny. Clearly, like, as we said, not a real friend. Not listening. Already like Catherine's talking she's already like got her phone out starting the email to the daily mail like yeah yeah what there you go three thousand yeah white whatever I'm just looking at some photos of clearly British people who've got zirconium veneers oh and they're people getting dental implants in Turkey there you go so is is Greece like the Greece like the, is Greece what sort of like Thailand is to Australians for surgery, you know, for cosmetic stuff?
Starting point is 00:57:51 All right. So I'm just... So I'm just trying to capture the angle. We're going here. Yeah. Okay. So Turkey is to England as Thailand is to Australia. When it comes to traveling overseas to get some cosmetic surgery. Yeah, to get a massive heaving a pair of basumes. Yep. Why not visit beautiful Turkey? Yeah. So there's some reading recently about like people doing the surgical tourism kind of stuff. And how, you know, there's, like obviously there's plenty of people who go and get cosmetic surgery done and it's fine or like dental surgery done and it's fine and it's very significantly cheaper than it is to do it in Australia.
Starting point is 00:58:44 But apparently the issue comes if you are one of the rare people who has it go very wrong or you wind up going to a place where yeah, where the quality of care or whatever is not good. Because there have been the horror stories of Australians who go over and get like, I was reading about this guy who went over and got, you know, half a dozen procedures done in a very small space of time or a single sitting, you know, like just got 20 hours of surgery. It's like you get all the times at the same time. Yep, yep, just let's do it all at once and
Starting point is 00:59:21 they'll do it and not healing up properly and essentially like rotting to death in a hotel room over there, that kind of thing. So that was what this story was about. And they were saying the reason that it's not super advisable to go and do is because their insurance stuff for doctors is set up completely differently to us here and you need to like you need to prove their malpractice to some degree and you need to prove it to like a council of of like surgical advocates and stuff where they're just like no that doesn't sound right yeah they're just like
Starting point is 01:00:02 our doctors the ones we represent? I don't think they'd do that. No, it's meant to be like that. It's meant to look like that. Yeah, it's supposed to be extremely difficult to get a hearing with these people to try and accuse somebody of like malpractice and get them to take responsibility and fix your shit and if they say no to you, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. thi. thi. And thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Like, thi. thi. Like, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like thi. Like, like thi. Like, like thi. Like, like thi. Like, thi. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, th. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thin, thin, thin, toeeeeean. Like, toean. Like, toean. Like, toean. Like, toeat thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thi. Like, thito you, there is like no form of appeal and you are told to fuck off forever. So, you know, think about it before you get your huge chompers put in overseas. To go with your massive cans. Strap those bad boys into a wicked weasel and you are ready to rock. The teeth?
Starting point is 01:00:42 Both. One passenger on board the flight, who did not wish to be named, claimed a woman became disruptive around an hour and 20 minutes into the journey. A customer said something and she slapped him in the face. The holiday maker told the M.E.N. That's this publication I believe. What is the M.E.N. No, that's the Manchester I believe. What is the MEM? No, that's the Manchester Union's sister publication to this one. Then a man got her, oh sorry I'm back to a quoing it,
Starting point is 01:01:13 then a man got up to try a calm situation before taking her into the back of the plane. Catherine's quote, extremely disruptive behavior has led to her being banned from Jet 2 flights for life, as well as being slapped with a huge 5,000 pound fine. I don't think they literally slapped her. She spent 2,000 pounds more than she intended to and she doesn't even have her 20 zirconium veneers. Oh great, I've got to dip into my chomper fund to pay for this. My advice, when you, like, so this is just like one of my
Starting point is 01:01:45 handy travel tips I'm always getting because I'm a bit of a like, I love travel, you know, just get on the plane and then just sit down and shut the fuck up until the flight is over and then get off and it's like so easy. You get to, it's like, 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, tr. the the the tr. tr.

Yeah. And you can't do anything, you gotta just like watch some TV. That's when you watch the new Transformers movie. Uh-huh. Maybe you watch, there might be a new Marvel movie, where you wouldn't take time out of your week if you were on ground. In your terrestrial time, you'd be like, I'm not fucking watching, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thua, thua, thua, thua, thuan, thuan, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tri-a, tha, thr-a, thian, thian, thian, tho, thrower, thrower, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, tha-a, tha-a, tha-a, t, t, tha, t, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha.

Which is the one with Florence Pew in it? That would be Black Widow. Black Widow. Haven't seen it. It's a pretty cruel irony that the ones that have been
Starting point is 01:02:38 headed by a female lead actress have absolutely been the worst ones. They're all bad.

But that's when you watch them, you go, oh fuck, I may as well try and keep up with pop culture these days and I may as well watch a shit move on the plane. Because I mean like, what else you're gonna do? You read? Read one of those airport books? Six feet under series three episode seven on there for some reason. But they have two episodes of the Macalaughal of of th. th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th.

I have another piece of advice for flying if you see me on the plane leave me alone. I just want to sit quietly. Don't slap me. Okay. Yeah I don't think I I'm not going to try and calm someone down on the plane either. Like, you know, if they were going to hurt someone, sure, maybe I'd intervene. But if they're just on a tirade, I'm not going to be like, ma'am, ma'am, I need you to breathe. Your sharp reser is so out of alignment.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I was talking to my wife the other day about, um, just like sometimes their their thing happens in front of you and you have to get involved and you know help somebody or render first aid to them or whatever. And I was remembering a time that I was when I lived in Melbourne, I think I was going to get lunch with my brother or something and we were walking down the street and a gentleman who had all these stereotypical appearances of someone who did a lot of drugs sort of came running past us and ran out across the street but without looking at all as to whether there was any traffic coming, you know, just ran out between two parked cars on the side of the road directly into the street and the CBD and was immediately clocked by a car going at a decent clip in front of us. And immediately, like, three or four people who were the closest,
Starting point is 01:04:39 went over to him and got him on the footpath. Like, he wasn't he wasn't like fatally injured or anything like that he was he was having a bad time but um so these these people grabbed him and they immediately started you know first aiding him and calling an ambulance and stuff like that and I went well that's it for me I'm off because while it's very good to help and render assistance to somebody when you can, I think that there is a critical mass of helpful people, at which point introducing more people is not actually helping.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah. I think if you have a situation like that where there is like a passenger getting nutty and have 15 people all stand up and go, Oy! Oy! Oh, come! Hey, love, love, calm down, all right? It's not that bad, love? It's just a plane, in it? It's just a plane. You know what's outside the door?
Starting point is 01:05:35 It's the sky. It's nothing out there. It's boring. Don't worry about it. It's no gremlins. You's, you's, you's no, you's no gremlins, you know. Yeah, there are some situations where it's just like, if I were to try and render help at this point, I think I would actually be only making it worse.
Starting point is 01:05:54 And that's our advice for the week is judiciously choose when your help would be life-saving and when it would be annoying. Yeah. Because you don't want to annoy anybody during what's already up. It's fine to ignore people in distress. Yeah. Yep. Wait. That's right. Well that's it folks. Be cool otherwise you're gonna lose all your teeth money. That's right. Do you reckon if you got 3,000 zirconium veneers put in and then you got raptured, do you think the teeth are going with you? I mean, yeah, if it's a body rapture, yeah, they're coming with you. Well, like, a sole rapture.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Okay, okay, how about this? Hold on. Let's say you have, let's say you lost a leg below the knee at some point and you had a prosthetic leg. Do you think you get raptured with the prosthetic leg or do you think you go to heaven and a rendered hole once again? Uh, legs just gonna like, like, shlop out like you're a frog. Is it a leg you lost in an accident or is it like a congenital like a birth defect? When you lost in an accident. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Because I think your answer to this is also going to determine what happens to the veneers. I think that it follows matrix matrix rules where your appearance in the afterlife. That's how you see yourself. Yeah residual self image. That's right. Yes. See that would say to me that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. that that th. that th. that th. th. th that th th th th th th the the you you you you you you you you the the the the the. you you you you you you you you you you you you. you. you. you. you. you. 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. the. theateateateateateateateateateateat. teat. te. theat. theat. theat. the. the. yourself. Yeah, residual self-image. That's right, yes. See, that would say to me that you don't bring the veneers with you, but your teeth just take on the appearance of the veneers that you wanted them to have. Yeah, I think that would probably be how it works. And we even spoken about how like the one of the characters in the character switch in the first matrix the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first 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 of. of. ofeatres. ofeatres. ofeater's switch. ofeater. ofeer. ofeer. teer. teer. teer. teer. tease. tease. tease. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the v. the v. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea.ea. tea.ea.ea. tea. tea. tea. to essentially be a trans character? Well, yeah, so they were going to have different, different genders in and out of the Matrix. Yeah, yes, which is where the name Switch came from that they sort of realized that, yeah, but then they didn't end up putting that in. It's a little interesting concept there.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I, I watched a new Disney movie with the kids yesterday because my daughter, my daughter has the novel coronavirus. My other daughter. I'm not so novel anymore if you ask. No, it's getting fucking old. The other one had it a couple of weeks ago and now the younger one has it. It's just every day we get messages from the school saying the following classes have had multiple children test positive for coronavirus Which is fucking cool So anyway, we watched um jungle crews gonna need you to hit that time of there Andrew Andrew loves to watch a million movies, but nobody else really gives a fuck. He's got 15 seconds to describe the movie otherwise he's just shit out of luck. Five, four, eight, two, one.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Let's go. Jungle Cruise is another Disney movie that's an adaptation of a ride just like Pirates of the Caribbean. It stars the world's most asexual beefcake movie star, The Rock and and Emily Blunt in the Amazon. Really good theme. I don't really feel like I've got a handle on the plot from... Maybe that's it. I think you have to go on the ride at Disneyland. Oh, I have to go on the ramp.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Well, like the... Do I get this if you haven't been on the ride yet? The plot is actually very similar to Pirates of the ram. Well like like the... Do I get this if you haven't been on the ride yet? The plot is actually very similar to pirates of the Caribbean in that there's like the ghost pirates who've been cursed and everything. This has like conquistadors who've been cursed. Very similar stuff. Anyway, there is a point in the movie. This is what you were saying about the matrix made me think of this, Ben. You know how there has been the recent controversy around Disney movies and how Disney as a company
Starting point is 01:09:48 has been paying donations to all of the right-wing politicians who are backing Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill? Either of you aware of this? Yeah, I mean, I've seen this about 400,000 times and I've not let any of the details sort of into the kind of the more core parts of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of th of th of th of thi thi-of thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-i-i-i-i-i-ni-I. I thi-i-i-i-i-i-i-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-I thi-ni-ni-ni any of the details sort of filtered down into the kind of the the more core parts of my consciousness because It's just gonna depress me I think if I yeah, oh very much so so Florida's basically trying to introduce a bill that's the equivalent of like the Russian stuff where they're like you're not allowed to acknowledge to young people that gays exist because that might make them want to be gay and Disney, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. their their tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. tho. 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. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. their. their. their. their. the young people that gays exist because that might make them want to be gay. And Disney donates a bunch of money to all of the lawmakers who are supporting this
Starting point is 01:10:30 and trying to put it through. A bunch of their fans and employees have been like, hey, cut that out. Disney's response was to say, we love the gay community. You can tell- All ticket holding gays, we love you. You can tell by the empowering tales of the LGBTQ community that we tell. That's our support for the gay communities, the stories that we tell. And at that point, people from Pixar came out and said, Disney has very forcefully made us scrub everything remotely queer from our movies that we have put in over the years.
Starting point is 01:11:14 And one of the examples that get cited, much like, um, I guess, yeah, like, there's a bunch of examples that get cited of queer content in Disney things, and one of them was from this fucking movie Jungle Cruise. I was watching with my kids yesterday. A British stand-up comedian Jack Whitehall plays Emily Blunt. Is that her? Emily Blunt's brother. And he's like an effeminate, fancy city boy. And there's a point where he is talking to Duane Johnson's riverboat captain character. And they're talking about how like, how back in London he was he was ostracized by his friends
Starting point is 01:11:58 and family and stuff because of who he loves. And he said, you know, I would get ostracized because my, he sort of gets asked do you have a girlfriend back home? And he says, oh, well, I got ostracized by my family because my affections lie elsewhere. And the rock goes, oh well, to elsewhere, and they toast to that. That's the gay representation in the movie. Yeah, I think for me that line should have been to sucking cocks. And the little click of the glasses. The thing that I was struck by, right, is that like even in that situation where they never explicitly say,
Starting point is 01:12:36 oh well the thing is that I like guys. Yeah, oh I'm actually, I am homosexual. I am a homosexual and it is World War I era England and people don't like that. They don't say that. They refer to it very obliquely. They don't actually acknowledge anyone as being gay. And the language that they do use is the extremely, like, lib. It's about who you love because of who I love.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Yeah. And that just kind of strikes me as- Not about getting rimmed or whatever. Yeah, like that really sort of, um, that really like neo-liberal support for same-sex marriage that is always framed as like, love is love. It's about who, you know, you don't control who you love. Hey, all these people, they just want to get married like you and have a husband. a th. th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to th to to th th th the the thi thi, and have a thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thii thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thi thi all these people, they just want to get married like you and have a husband and have some kids and pay their taxes and be normal like you.
Starting point is 01:13:33 You know, like that's the real overwhelming tone of it. And then immediately afterwards being like, I just think that the Mardi Gras parades a little much. It's a- You know, you're thinking maybe like toned down, doesn't have to have to have to have to be to be so tone it down doesn't have to be so rude. Yeah, you call it inclusive but you're not allowed cops there? Yeah. Do you see that Mardi Gras this year had like corporate boxes? Of course it fucking does. That's, I'm sure it has before though, but geez I'll the and I read this list recently that was going through like all of the, all of the instances
Starting point is 01:14:05 of what has been described as queer representation in Disney movies. And it's about a dozen things. And I would say a third of the movie says oh yeah that character is queer. He's gay man. J.K. Rowling inclusivity. Yeah it's it's the thing where like after the fact they sort of say oh this person says I have to go home and see my partner and then during the press tour someone says yes that character is gay it's like cool not that you would possibly be able to tell from watching the movie or anything, but... I don't reckon that we should have left
Starting point is 01:14:49 corporations in charge of our livelihoods, art culture, culture, the, you know, our ability to kind of survive like medicine, food. I just personally, I think we fucked up on that one. Oh, and you got a better idea? Yeah. Yeah, pull out a 357 magnet. My idea is to immediately try to open the door on the plane. My idea is to immediately try to open the door on the plane, you know? That's right, That's the solution. Open the door on the plane. Ideally.
Starting point is 01:15:27 All your problems will seem insignificant if you open the door, step outside. We need to open the door on the plane that is the world. Yeah. That is so true. That's the Bermuda triangle. It's the plane door of the world. Open that band boy up! Crack it open, let it breathe, you know? Let it breathe. So important though if like opening the door of the plane that is the world was actually opening like a big door on the crust of the earth, exposing the hollow earth inside. Yeah, you know? That'd be cool. It would be cool. A little scary, but pretty cool. Only one way to find out.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Let's send that guy down who didn't get to go to the moon. Michael Collins? Let's let him have first crack at the hollow earth. That's what I think. He's the hollow earth. Hey, buddy, you heard this one. You're up. You have something to talk about it parties. Yeah, he's dead th is th is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. Michael. th. th. Michael. th. Michael. th. th. th. Michael. th. th. th. th. Michael. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. the. to. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. Michael. parties. Yeah, he's dead. Oh, just imagine him. He died last year. Oh.
Starting point is 01:16:27 All right, Peter Michael Collins. Kind of a bummer. Plus this is what he looks like. This is of course an audio medium. Yeah, I'm just posting it. Close their eyes and picture it if you can. It's a dower old man. Really Clint Eastwood great oldness there.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Yeah. All right, so I guess we're not sending him. We'll find someone. I mean, we are. We kind of sent him a little way towards the whole. Six foot of the way there. Oh, jeez. Put Michael Collins down that hole that the Soviets drilled in Siberian hell sounds hole.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Off you go buddy. Let him go down there. All right, he was the second astronaut to orbit the moon alone and he was the first astronaut to have his corpse dropped down the giant bore hole that went to hell. Neil who? Well, that's it for us folks. Thank you very much for joining us. Do not forget to go to shop.bundavista.com and see if you would like to buy a t-shirt. Yeah, and if you don't want to, close that tab. Type in a wicked weasel.
Starting point is 01:17:48 Yeah. So browse. Type in cola super deep borehole. And don't look at the like... But look for like a URL that looks like they've not done a lot of fact-checking. Yeah. Yeah, ideal. Because then you have a cool version of the story
