Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, it's me, Ben, from the podcast, Buntavista. What you're about to hear is last week's bonus episode. This isn't in lieu of getting your free episode this week. This is in addition to, we just, we thought it was a pretty good episode, maybe, and also I think it introduces some crucial Buntavista law that might make things confusing going forwards without it. So this is just a little freebie, just for you.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I hope you're doing well. If you like having two episodes in one week, consider subscribing to the podcast. But if you don't want to, don't. Have a good one. Hello and welcome to this bonus episode of Boutavista, a free weekly comedy current events podcast which takes a skewed look at uninteresting news of the week from around the world but almost always America and tries to make it interesting. Codd-Eventr-intea-courneat's podcast which takes a skewed look at uninteresting news of the week from around the world but almost always
Starting point is 00:01:26 America and tries to make it interesting using our unique blend of comedy curiosity and a strong moral point of view that bends towards left-wing politics without getting bogged down in anything like the theory or consistency. I am Ben a Brisbane-based event coordinator, a bartender and podcast producer with a background of digital journalism. I'm sort of the relaxed guy of the podcast. I like smoking weed and going outside, and I provide license for the show to make the occasional homophobic joke because of my bisexuality. With me is Theo, a Brisbane-based power system engineer with a background at a different
Starting point is 00:01:59 kind of computer-based stuff. Not only is Theo the smart guy of the podcast who actually knows about stuff and how stuff works, he also provides a strong moral core to the show, always thinking about the social causes and impacts for the things we discussed at least one step further than the rest of us, stopping us all from sounding like assholes. Hey Theo. Hey buddy, how you doing? Yeah, great. How cool is it being on an informative but also funny podcast? It's actually a joy to rock up to this. And not only because we just have fun with it and sort of we just let our gut for what is interesting and fun take us instead of,
Starting point is 00:02:37 sorry, I'm the guy that says, R a lot as well. And, um, but apart from that, it also means I get to hang out with my, with my good friends. and you and I, Ben, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th th thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tha, to to thooooooooooooooooooooooo, tha, tho, tha, tho, th, it also means I get to hang out with my good friends. And you and I, Ben, I mean, we started off as friends before this podcast as well, which is, I think, also an important element to the, to the fabric that we're weaving here. Yeah, and I think people, this sort of, our relationship is maybe a crucial part of the show, and people would maybe even ship us if they could consider you as a sexual human being. Yeah, but they can't. Which is not for your appeal.
Starting point is 00:03:06 No, I'm like a completely smooth and polished ball of concrete. Which is one of my favorite things about you. It makes you easy to pick up because your weights very evenly distributed. Also with us is Lucy, a Hobart-based marketing professional who writes content by day and if you can believe it, owns owns noobs by night on her PlayStation 5 gaming console always keeping abreast of the latest trends and memes Lucy ties us to the contemporary with her trademark wit and her up-to-date understanding of popular humor hey Lucy I've been why was mine mean what what do I said that's wrong I didn't say it was wrong
Starting point is 00:03:44 I didn't say it was wrong. I didn't say me if it was wrong. I feel like none of that was, you know. I didn't say none of it was accurate. I think everything that I am saying in this introduction is entirely correct, but I'm saying it away that makes it sound very bad. Yeah, it's impressive. I appreciate this. I feel seen. You are seen. Mostly because we also do a video chat on this so that we stop talking over the top of each other as much. But you can't see that. Yeah, no. Probably this is, we should introduce now, this is an audio medium. Yes. Yeah, so if you're unfamiliar with the concept podcast, you're not getting video right now. So hopefully that clears it up for you. And also with us, lastly but certainly not least, it's
Starting point is 00:04:28 Andrew. Andrew is a camera-based, oh no! Andrews also the grunter! The grunter is a nasty fucked up guy who only roots and shitts. And the grunt is nasty little brain, there's only two neurons, one for rooting and one for shitting. If you see the grunter, you's not rooting or shitting, you've not seen the grunter at all. You'll know if you've seen the grunter, because he's either rooting or shitting and he looks way more fucked up than any other kind of guy you've ever seen. And he's fucking reeks so thrown. He's so oily. Being oily doesn't help him root or shit, but it must be pretty important to him, because him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him the he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. But he. But he. But he. But he he. But he to be pretty important to be pretty important to be to be to be to be to be to be to be pretty to be pretty important 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 pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be pretty to be to be to be th. But, but th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th th thrut. But thru. thru. thru. thru. thru thru thru thru thru thru thru th thru th th th, oiliest guy around. Fuck, I hate the grunter! I wish you'd stop rooting and shiting! Hey Andrew. Here he is. Everyone hates the grunter.
Starting point is 00:05:16 If you meet the grunter on the road, kill him. It's on sight for me. Speed up. If you're in America and you drive one of those child killer 5,000, your time has finally come. It was worth it. Keep grunting. You won't see him because he is roughly two feet tall. He's in the bushes and he's shitting or rooting.
Starting point is 00:05:38 And you can hear it, but you don't know where it's coming from. He's in permanent upskirt mode. And he loves it. That's really me would be doing a service to the community. It's like how they tell you that you there are certain invasive species that you should kill on site but they tell you to do it painlessly with the grunter they want you to do it as painfully as possible. Please hurt the grunter up. Do it a warning to any other hypothetical grunters. He would love it if you killed him as well. Like the whole time that he's dying painfully, it'd be like, oh, I'm so glad you killed me.
Starting point is 00:06:15 He's awful. He also has a nasty cough all the time. Always, always got like a weird cough. Oh, I'm the grunter. Ugh! Oh, I just vomited. I love it. Do I have to keep this grunter mascot outfit on for the entire recording of the episode? Oh, that's an outfit? Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Oh, there's Lucey. Look, you know, it's representative. Obviously, like if I was as oily as the real grunter, my furniture would be ruined. That would be all over the walls of my house. I would be getting run down by people on site. But as it is, you know, I can take this off before I go out. If the grunt is around you'll notice because there'll be a whole bunch of cars swerving all over the road because everyone's trying to get the grunter. What's that car doing up on the road. What's that car doing up on the shoulder at 80 kilometers an hour up? Got a little glimpse of the grunter disappearing into the bushes. Throwing up while he's getting away. Oh, did it again. You'll never stop me from
Starting point is 00:07:15 rooting or shooting on the grunter. Getting out of yet another ticket for reckless driving by claiming that I had just seen the grunter on the edge of the highway. I'm not entirely certain but I have a really strong gut feeling that the grunter is from Newcastle. Huh. For sure, it's got that vibe. It's something I believe. I'm from Newey. It's actually up and coming. If it wasn't from Newcastle, it's certainly spent a lot of time there due to the free and easy access to bulk amounts of grease. It's getting into Newcastle Port. He's lathering himself up. At the exact geographic center of Newcastle, at the intersection of two lay lines, there is this slimy little hole in the ground, and no matter how much dirt you put into it, it never
Starting point is 00:07:58 fills all the way up. And a lot of people suspect that that is where the grunter emerged from, but nobody in the the the the the the the the th is in in in in in in in the th is in the th is in the the the th is in th is in the th is the the th is th is th is thiiuuuuuiuiuiui. No thoe. No thoe. No thuiole. thoom. thoom. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I is. I is.

I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. te. te. that is where the grunter emerged from, but nobody in the town will actually talk to you about it if you ask. No. I mean, you say suspect, when he goes to sleep, which is 19 hours a day, his nice little ass pokes out the top and it goes honkshohoho honk shoe. But that noise is coming out of his ass. That's right, because there are still noises coming out of of out of of of of of of of of the of of out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out the their their their that's their that's that's their their that's that's their thoomeree that is that's that's that is that is that is that's that he's sleep, and it's... I'm the fucking grunter. Yeah, scientists don't know where the grunty came from or what he is. It's hard to tell whether or not he's part of nature.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's time for Nature Corner. tree roads take me home to the place I belong to their place I belong bull to take some nature corner while the crap snipped my dick This is a story coming to us from Stuff. Co. that's the only website in beautiful Altaeroa in New Zealand. Lions, tigers and chimpanzees first in the firing line in a mass zoo escape. Finally. Why was this on the news?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Well because it's not, nothing has happened. This is just, if there's a mass zoo escape. Oh, if there's one. Oh, this is a policy document. That's kind of a policy document, I guess. A policy announcement? I'm just picturing a kind of guy who has now just sort of changed his life around, you know, applying for a gun license and buying a rifle, and going to, and to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the range, and the range, and the range the range, the range, the range, the range, if 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha, tha, tha, tha'era'era'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'easeaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseaseasease a gun license and buying a rifle and going to the range and practicing every day and like buying a house that's weirdly close to the zoo and just
Starting point is 00:09:54 kind of having having a lot of like Google news alert set up just in case just ready be his chance all times lions tigers and chimpanzees would be the first to be killed if a natural disaster was ever to cause a mass escape, zoos across Altaoa have revealed. Dr. Baird Fleming, director of Hamilton Zoo, said such an escape would be a quote, exceptionally unlikely scenario. Usually in a situation where animals were nervous or scared, they would stay within the area that felt like home. However, the zoo's animal containment team would assess the risk to humans in real time, and the safety of humans would be prioritized, especially with dangerous animals,
Starting point is 00:10:31 Fleming said. The entire animal containment team wears those hats, whether it's like the flat rim on one side but pinned up on the other side. Yeah, every single one is Muldoon from Jurassic Park. Yeah, yeah. There are two category one animals at the zoo, which were defined as able to cause human fatalities and might need to be shot. That's so good that that's their system. We got two category ones on our hands. We got category one on the loose boys.
Starting point is 00:11:01 How bad is that. Let me tell you, there's no category zero. That's as bad as it gets. Well, I haven't met the grunter. That's sure he is, category zero. New Zealand is actually, they have no native population of grunters. And through rigorous border control, they have complete eradication of the grunter. At Hamilton zoo, the cater. That's that's wild. I that that that that that that that the that the that that that the that that the the that that's the that's that's the that's that's the that's that's that's the the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the grunta.

Starting point is 00:11:25 Samaritan Targars. That's wild. I love that the chimpanzee is like the most dangerous animal. They're not even the biggest one. No. No. They're the ones with the... They're the ones with the intelligence to know that we've been making fun of them from the outside of the head for fucking 20 years and they
Starting point is 00:11:45 they have this sense of self to take it personally. Don't just say sense of self? Yeah, just close enough. Run the tape back. They've clocked how attached we are to our faces and also how our faces are attached. Hmm. I think I think chimps compared to other animals at the zoo know that like if they're swinging a rock at you that they they should they should they should they should they should they should they should they should they should go th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to go to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their th th th thi thi they thi they they they thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi to other animals of the zoo know that like if they're swinging a rock at you that they should go for like the part up the top. Yeah. I think they know that you're going for the head. They know about the damage bonuses on the human body.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yeah, tigers don't. They know about headshots. Although I feel like tigers, tigers by contrast, don't really really to to to to to to to to to to to to to the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiomome, thi, thiome, thiome, thiome, thiomomome, thi, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.e, thi.e, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioliiomoomorrow, thiitigers by contrast don't really need to be aiming anywhere in particular to really do you a mischief. You know? Yeah, they can just sort of go for wherever they want really and they'll probably end up fucking you up. Don't get swatted by one of those bad boys. You're calling tiger 911?
Starting point is 00:12:43 Well I meant swat like you would spot a fly. Oh, you're swatting. However, Lucy, I don't know if, as the resident gamer of the show, I don't know if you had seen any of the news about like Steam having different kinds of games, like first-person shooters and stuff that developers make and put up and sometimes sometimes they will be controversial and get pulled and you know like someone will make a you're a school shooter video game yeah and there's been a recent one that's been that lots of people are into that is like a you're in a SWAT team kind of thing right and they're like oh it's got
Starting point is 00:13:20 really realistic AI on all the people the hostage takers and everything and then there's lots lots you you you the th th the the the th the th the the the the the th th the th the th the the th th th the th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the thi tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. tho 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the theean. thean. theean. thean. theeean. the. the. the. th on all the people, the hostage takers and everything. And then there's lots of people who are like, how much do you really want to play a video game where you're a dude in a SWAT team breaching a thing and accidentally killing civilians? But what if they made a game where you were a containment team? Uh, at a category one? And you got the call. We got a category two you be like oh shit that means a chimpanzee or a tiger or maybe a lion get your load out ready yeah you get to just kind of
Starting point is 00:13:51 your load out we're gonna shoot that bad boy with the Blunderbuff I guess my question is would you play that game yes hundred percent would you? yeah I think so if it was like a you know Jamagi for adults is there a school Would you? Yeah, I think so if it was like, uh, you know, Jumangji for adults. Is there a school-based matchmaking for this? Is it, is it like, uh, is it like one of those asynchronous multiplayer things where some people get to be the chimps? Yeah, dog. Manly tombent team, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:19 It's like alien versus predator, but it's chimpanzee versus zookeeper. Yeah. You would, you. You, you. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Yeah. thi. thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. It's. It's. Yeah. Yeah. It's. Yeah. Yeah. It's. Yeah. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. Yeah. It. It. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. It. Yeah. It. It's. Yeah. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like, like, like, like, like, like, th. It'skeeper. Yeah, yeah you would have like you would have most of the people in the lobby would just be like regular unarmed zookeepers. Yeah and then you would have a smaller class of like containment team people who were actually armed and then you would have like several chimps and one tiger on the other team I think. Actually, that sounds pretty good. Yeah. Well, and the chimps could- That's great.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Like the tiger would be like, you know, the tank. And the chimps would be able to go vertical as well. That's the thing. Like the alien, an alien versus predator. Exactly. hunter, pick up your gun. Just waves of chimps coming out. If you're listening to this and you're good at computers, pretty unlikely I know. Please consider re-skinning the original alien versus predator to be a zookeeper versus normals versus category one animals game, please, and we will pay pay you we will pay you some amount
Starting point is 00:15:27 of money that will be discussed offline. I'd actually I dispute that last point Ben I would like to say if you're good at computers and you would like to risk in that game and put it out that's great if the game makes any money copyright 2022 Punta Vista that I will see who will see you to fucking shit and back we will not be giving you any resources to this or that idea. We will see you. We will sue you to fucking shit and back. We will not be giving you any resources to make the game. But the instant it turns a profit, we will be seeing you in court. That's our promise to you, our listeners. A 60-40 split of the proceeds, 60% of the money and 40% of the money. We're taken it all,
Starting point is 00:16:00 baby. Fleming said all the structures at the zoo along with staff training procedures and plans were designed to prioritize animal well-being and human safety. Carmo Wildlife Sanctuary is home to two tigers a leopard and 13 lions. If any were to escape or if someone got into their enclosure and there was a direct threat to human life the cats would have to be destroyed as per legislation facility operator Jeanette Valance said. Instantly, and all? Applied like blanket statement?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah, they all have like a bomb that's sort of buried at the base of their skull and someone has to press the Category 1 annihilation button. That's a terrible day for kids at the zoo. The day the the heads exploded. Well, you can just do it so it just destroys the brain the brain the brain the brain the brain the brain the brain the brain the head's exploded. Well, you can just do it so it just destroys the brain stem. And you'd be like, oh, they're all sleeping. They all got sleepy at the same time. They're just cuddling each other.
Starting point is 00:16:50 They're just having a cuddle. They must have been so tucked out at 847 in the morning. That statement kind of suggests that if one person got into an enclosure that they would just walk around 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 would just walk around to all the enclosures and kill all the cats. Yeah, one of the zookeepers who's far too enthusiastic about it puts on some ray bands and he's like, I'll do it, I'll go. I would like to advocate for changing that legislation. I think that if the tigers or the lions escape and they're running into a crowd or whatever, then yes, I think you have to try 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 try and to to to try and to to to to to to to tho thoomoomoomoom, the the they. 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 their their their they. they. they. they. they. tho. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom. toe. their their their their think you have to try and put that category one animal down. However, I think that if you jump into the enclosure, I think that they should shoot you immediately.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah, that's easier than shooting 13 cats. Yeah, yeah, I think once you hop over that fence and jump in there, I think you've kind of, you've put in the big forfeit ticket, you know, you've signed the waiver, you jump in there and I think really they should be trying to do you the favor of not being eaten by several tigers while you're still alive. And then that's the end of it. I might take a compromise position here. Like, I think we, in the case that someone jumps in the enclosure, we leave it up
Starting point is 00:18:01 to the keeper of that animal's discretion, which one gets shot. So they can be like, they can assess the situation and be like, oh, it's a child that fell in there, or that person is clearly mentally unstable or whatever, or if they're like, oh, that guy looks like a dip shit, bam, go on. That guy, uh, that guy tailgated me all the way to work today. And he's honking at me the whole time. He's wearing a bin tang singlet.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's funny how this world works. Popping. Well, well, well. Each enclosure had a four meter high fence with one meter inlay which ran into the enclosure, she said. All had electric wires either powered by solar power or electricity and a backup generator. It's better than Jurassic Park so far. Each also had a secondary enclosure fence designed to keep both people out and the cats in.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And the ground also had a full height perimeter fence. For Lance thought the only thing that could bring down all the fencing was a large earthquake and Northland was at low risk for those. Quote, a number of the big cats, including the pride of three lions, a trained in emergency recall where they will return to their den at a certain sound. That sound is of course the sweet sound of Stily Dan's dirty work. I don't know though, like it's easy to say that that's what they'll do, you know. But when there's, you know, when there's like a school excursion's worth of kids running around in front of them, you think they're really going to come back for the beautiful voice of Donald Fagan?
Starting point is 00:19:32 Very, very tasty-looking family of Austrians right in front of them. Yep, yep. Quote, most of the big cats are very food-orientated, and it is possible they wouldn't even leave their enclosure because it's where they feel safe. Yeah, the food's outside as well. It's the painful. Yeah, in little packages, actually. It's sort of wrapped up. It's kind of gamified.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You get to play with it. The most dangerous animal at the wildlife sanctuary was the black leopard mandler, the lion said, because of his speed. Yeah. It's so dope. That's, that rules. It's just, you know, like I was saying to a wife of the show, my wife, Elna, recently, we were, we were watching something and you know, there's like wolves and bears running around the states. It was a nature thing or whatever, I was saying like, Americans just all have
Starting point is 00:20:25 this perception of Australia as like, that's the place with all the dangerous stuff because there's spiders and some snakes and shit like that. But like, you guys are the ones with like all of the types of animals that you cannot hope to run away from. All the shit that's going to one hit kill you in Red Dead Red Redemption. We don't have any of that. Yeah, you guys have mountain lions. You got pumice. You got wolves. You got bears. You got bears that you can like empty a handgun into and won't stop running towards you. I don't think we have a single, a single animal in Australia that will hunt you for sport and lengthen the process just for fun. Like a pack of wolves sort of whittling you down intellectually and then physically. I think there's no land-based predators in Australia that you couldn't king hit.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Yeah. Except for maybe feral pigs. A really big kangaroo. Yeah, I was going to say, but even like with really big kangaroos, you have to go and get in their face for them to be like, oh, we're doing this, are we? You know, they don't kind of wander over. But yeah, I agree, Ben, the only thing that came to mind for me of like, you could shoot this thing with small arms and it would keep trying to kill you would be big feral pig.

I think one of my least favorite things in life would be to be stalked in some sort of deadliest game. Yeah I would hate that. What if it was in an adoring kind of way though? Don't know don't do that either.
Starting point is 00:21:58 What if it was just a big fan? What if it's because they loved you? Yeah and simultaneously they loved you. Yeah and they and simultaneously they do want to eat me. Yeah. Which is which probably I wouldn't put past some members of the community. Quote the sanctuary would not be able to use tranquilizers on our cats in an emergency as they have to be dispensed by a vet and take too long to work. Like you have to go into the vet's office be like no I kind of do these right now. Because he's chewing on a the their their their their their their their their their their their they.

Now I'm just going to write down, just a few reminders. Well, it seems like maybe you could just have like a... Or maybe they go off. Maybe they can't just have them ready to go. Maybe they can't just have their their their their their their to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go their. to go. to go. to go. their. 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 go. to go. to go.

Starting point is 00:22:45 you should get to take them home. That's true. That's one of the perks of the job. Yep. Oh, you're that, that's, yeah, I'll throw all those out. Yeah, yeah, I'll throw all of their. That's cool. Yeah, leave they. Auckland Zoo director Kevin Buelly agreed a mass escape was incredibly unlikely, but you should never say never.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Quote, we've seen over in Ukraine at the moment animals having to be relocated to other countries as zoos are now in the middle of war zones. I cannot imagine a scenario here where we would have a mass escape, but if we did it would most likely be due to a volcano, earthquake or tsunami. They wouldn't be my top. I'm thinking something a bit more simple, you know, like a flood. Yeah. No, it's 2022. It's losing our battlefields. I do think that maybe Ukraine has missed out on an opportunity to weaponize their category ones.
Starting point is 00:23:38 You know, instead of cutting them off to other countries, perhaps use the resources the air- Innocentia skin. Point them in to other countries, perhaps, perhaps use the resources that you have one of the other direction you're saying. Yeah. Point lion away from you and release. Bully said the zoo did have a plan if anything like that happened, and there was an emergency response team. Some animals, if they escaped, would be considered a, quote, red response, Bully said.
Starting point is 00:24:04 These animals, including the zoo's top carnivoress, lions, their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. th.. th. their th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thoomomom. thoom. thi. thi. thoome, toe. toe. toe. their their toe.

Quote, we work with the armed offenders squad on how to safely deploy firearms. The general approach is safety first and preserve human life. We can't use tranquilizers on these red response animals as they don't work immediately to stop the threat. The zoo also also practiced the the somehow fell into an enclosure or purposefully got inside. Lions and tigers are the only animals that would have to be killed in such an event, purely said as all other species had the potential to be returned to their habitats safely. Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch was also contacted for comment but declined to talk
Starting point is 00:24:37 about its emergency procedures. That's interesting. What are they're hiding up hung up the phone and went, we're meant to have emergency procedure? No, they hang up for phone, they know about protocol X. What's... Fuck. Howe, in 2013, it was reported Arana Park had a containment manual for each of the 70-plus species in its care. Can I list some of the 70-plus species in its care? I've only got a list of six here, but just to give you you Please. Yeah, so they have a specific manual for each of these that describes
Starting point is 00:25:08 the risk profile of that animal and how best to recapture them. We got gorillas. You're not recapturing one of them. Yeah, that's the guy's. Give up. Give up. Give up. He's procuring an open-topped vehicle and he's driving the fuck out of there. Rhinoceros? Same deal I reckon. I'm fine. He's free now. You've got to wait for him to go to sleep, basically. Yeah, he's got away for him to get tired.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Throw a blanket over him and... You got giraffes, which I reckon maybe, throw down an oil slick, you can probably get them. Blossie, maybe. Yeah. If you, yeah, maybe you could have a chance of like getting some roller skates onto it, pushing it back. Maybe they always have roller skates on them, they could never escape. Or they get really good at it and then you're fucked. I think all you need is all the walkways around the enclosure, just put roofs on them.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Just close a door. Compared to all the other species of animals though, this is the one so far that I think would be most susceptible to several people standing in front of it with their arms stretched out wide? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ah, uh, uh, do the Chris Pratt. Oh, oh? Oh, oh. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, the. rat. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Uh, odders? Okay. They're kind of the grunter of the animal king. They're slippery fuckers. They're foul, bug-beathed. I think you have to shoot them. Those are the ones where you're not going to be able to get them back. Yeah, just on a moral the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thi, tho, tho, tho, th, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th.

Starting point is 00:26:45 We've also got mere cats. As we've covered previously on the show, the mere cat is extremely susceptible to being hammer-thrown. That's right, end-over-end. So really, you can just dash around, pick them up and hurl them back towards the enclosure, I think. Oh, you can hurl them anywhere. The kiversk will get them. They're unbelievably hurlable. The final example of the 70 plus species for all of which they have a containment manual
Starting point is 00:27:15 that I have here is trout. How are you going to catch them? I just give them a little tickle. How are they getting out? What? Lost your trout, do you need those trout? How fuck the trout have gone out. I think you could live without the trout. They've probably flapped halfway to whichever island of New Zealand we're not on at the moment. I'm not going to the zoo to see the one you raised before Lucy, which was if there's a flood, and if there was a flood that carried your trout away, I do not like your chances of retrieving.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Getting those trout back, you're gone. Say goodbye to your trout. They're no longer your trout. They're the world's trout now. Catching trout we've just been riffing. What the manuals say? Oh no, they just said that the manuals exist. They're keeping them private.
Starting point is 00:28:15 They wouldn't reveal their manuals. Yeah. Well, the problem is, if you just like, if you open source it and it gets out on the internet and then someone shows it to the trout. Yeah. Or the Soviets and they catch up in trout containment technology. Ten years worth of work down the drain. You don't want any gorillas or chimps finding out what the plan is to recapture them or anything beforehand. You're just out there in closure, yelling from bootleck copy of the containment manual. They're going to shoot you with a 30-0-6.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Learn to dodge bullets or become bulletproof. When a kid falls into the enclosure immediately grab him and hold him in front of your face. Can we just take a step back here about this story in its entirety? So there's no timeliness element to it. It's not linked to any like, so this might be because some people deliberately released some wolves at a Canadian zoo last week or the week before, but it's not mentioned in the story. So they've not been like, in light of the blah, blah, blah, blah. We spoke to this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story, this this story, this this story this story this story th the this story thi this story this story thi thi thi thi thi 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 story their story their story story story story story story story their story story story story. their story. their story. their story. thi thi thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tha. tha. their their their their story. the week before, but it's not mentioned in the story. So they've not been like, in light of the blah blah blah, we spoke to these zoos because of blah blah blah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 It's just like, hey, by the way, in case you didn't know, they're going to shoot the chimps if the chimps get out. Yeah. Some journalists has just been like, so what do you do if the chimedout the reading of that Ben was, I wonder how this guy pitched this story to his editor. Yeah. Was, I assume that he went and went, don't you kind of want to know what would happen if all the animals got out of the zoo at once?
Starting point is 00:29:53 And it was like, yes. Yes. Yes. Very curious about a Jurassic Park scenario. Churches are you? Who chooses who's a category one, you know? Going into the meeting and being like right, so category one obviously it's lions, tigers, geese. Trout. The containment team leader like calling a meeting where he's he's asking like way too enthusiastically which animal to kill first if anything goes wrong, you know? Which order do you want me to kill him in? He's walking into the room doing the Muldoon thing from Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Yeah, they should all be destroyed. I'm talking about the trout specifically. Everyone else like, does this have to be a weekly meeting? I feel like... 10 minutes stand up every day. Which animals do we kill in the event of escape? We know! Doing a weekly vote on rankings for which animal you want killed first in the case. My best best friend's. This trout are really fucking pissing me off this week. All right, let's go to action items from the previous meeting. I see mini gun funding still hasn't been addressed.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah, zookeepers probably have interesting relationships with the animals that they look after. And when relationships get interesting, we turn to pick up your telephone and dial it on the double. You call one eight hundred three one seven five one five five now your page in dotting and say it. Just slam dunking those segues today man, it's wonderful. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, plenty of the segue over here. This comes from Lucy's's wonderful. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, it's plenty of Mr. Segway over here.
Starting point is 00:31:45 This comes from Lucy's favorite place to read anything on the internet, the subreddit, R slash Polly. I'm curious to hear from other people who have blended Polly and Cuckolding. That's wonderful. And just before we get into this story, I just really want to clarify that I'm not putting these in here to be mean to Polly people. I think that this is genuinely a very interesting conundrum that this person has come across. Great cover. That's perfect.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Thank you. We're in the clear now. My wife and I have been type cuckold relationship. Hang on, you've been involved, do you mean you've been doing? Yeah, or are you part of the global cockholding? This guy's been getting cucked for several years. Okay. So it's not like, cuckolding count as Polly?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah, he's not like an international cuckholding advocate. I'm not having lots of sex with people. All right, involved for cock-holding for several years, so... I think they're doing, they're doing live-action cock-holding. Yeah. They're cucking in the flesh. Or at least his wife is, he's not, because he's home alone and he hates it so much, thinking about how much she's out there sucking and fucking.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And I wish I could pound my doing little hog off about this, but I'm not allowed. She won't let me. Oh, I'm turning into the grunter. I've been cucked into the grunter mode. Some people, some people go along and watch though don't they? Yeah they do. I don't know what their specific arrangement is. Yeah, yeah. Oh well, you know, we'll get into it here. We started out with me there, typical cock-old type situation. Thank you for clarifying. Later it shifted to her having friends with benefits. She'd play solo, but it was mostly about sex. Eventually Eventually she fell in love with one of those partners and we entered the
Starting point is 00:33:48 Polly world. You mean she did. She did. Eventually my wife fell in love with somebody else and kept having sex with them and I was still hanging around. This person continues on as we've spent COVID talking amongst ourselves, looking back at that relationship, it was the most fulfilling for both of us. She loved the person, of course, but also loved the freedom to feel what she felt and express it how she wanted. She and I felt incredibly close throughout. I loved supporting her and I felt a huge amount of compulsion for her.
Starting point is 00:34:22 That is, their spelling. Excuse me? No, compersion is a, a poly thing. It's a poly-specific word. Feel joy? Is it like you feel joy when your partner's happy? Yeah, which is a, you kind of don't need to... It's a nice concept, but you don't need to have them having sex or somebody else to feel that, right? Yeah, it's an odd word to have coined, because they're using it specifically it specifically it specifically it's to to to to to the to their their their their their their their their their, their, th. their, th. thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thoomomomomompern, thi, thi, thoomomompern, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, tho, thooo, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. A, that's, that's an odd word to have coined, because they're using it specifically to describe the phenomenon of getting joy from them being in a new relationship, you know, and seeing the joy of them experiencing that or whatever, but also like you should just generally kind of be experiencing joy through your partner experiencing joy for whatever reason.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Anyway, by default, yeah. Their happiness should kind of make you happy because that's like what an intimate relationship is. So look, this is a thing that we've kind of all wondered about before when talking about polyrelationships. So this is from Mindbody Green.com from contributing sex and relationships editor Kelly Konzalves talking about what is compersion the polyamory practice for rethinking jealousy. And she says that she and her husband started off of the polyamory practice for rethinking jealousy and
Starting point is 00:35:30 She says that she and her husband started off with a separation and seeing other people but it turned into Going poly style But she says the word compersion is loosely defined as the opposite of jealousy Instead of feeling upset or threatened when your partner romantically or sexually interacts with another person you feel a sense of happiness for them. It does it like? It's one of those ones where you go like you like you like you like? you you you you you 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 like? th like? th like? th like? th th th like th like th like th th th like th like th 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 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 like th th like th like th like th like th like th like thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they the they thi the the thi thi their their thi thi thi threatened when your partner romantically or sexually interacts with another person you feel a sense of happiness for them. It does, it's one of those ones where you go, like you, like you saying Ben, did you need to make a whole new word for that or is it like trying to kind of force a concept on yourself? Yeah. No, I feel great about it. When my wife falls in love with somebody else. But I mean this guy does. This guy is a cuck old, so he probably does. Yeah, he genuinely does.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I feel like it makes sense. It makes sense to be Polly and be into cucking. Yeah. Because you're enjoying yourself too. Yeah. You know, I get it. I get that. It's really the ideal state be your partner's confidant while they fall in love. There is of course a downside to it too. When it's all sex and fun times she's more open to sharing details or including me directly. Once she falls in love and has that emotional bond she prefers
Starting point is 00:36:38 intimacy and privacy. I kind of full cause feel jealous because of this and because of the closeness perceived risk and societal views around love versus sex. So good because he wants to be jealous because he's a cuck. But jealous sexually. He doesn't want to be jealous emotionally. That's where I draw the cuckold line I guess. Well, yeah, like, like uh, cucking, while obviously there are lots of emotional elements at play, it does generally seem like something that is confined to like sex act related stuff. I mean cock-olded now and so on.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Read the next part. I think I, in part, view this as a cuckold relationship versus a one-sided poly relationship, though, because that jealousy and that being excluded, etc. is a part of what makes it exciting for me. Additionally, for a variety of reasons, she and I don't have the sort of robust sex life that she does with other partners, and that difference has become a dynamic in our relationship. I'm posting this now as we have restarted post COVID and my wife is seeing a new partner who she is getting more serious with so we are talking about all of the psychology around this. I'm curious who
Starting point is 00:37:51 else here incorporates this sort of play how it feels for you etc. Your wife's gonna leave you dude. She's leaving. Yeah there's definitely two ways to read this, which is that that relationship is falling by the wayside. Or they have just the perfect situation for everyone involved. Yeah. Where she has sex with other men and he doesn't do anything. You know, there's nothing wrong with like... yeah, that's perfect.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He might be like not particularly sexual or whatever and that meets his needs. And they 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 that that th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that that's that's or person or whatever and that meets his needs. And then they still have their comfortable relationship at home. She gets to go out and suck and fuck and possibly even fall in love with other people. And then he's at home being like, oh I hate it that my wife is out there sucking and fucking and falling in love. And then he's like, oh, he's enjoying being being emotionally cuckolded. Is that what I'm reading? Yeah, I think so. Does seem like a whole new type of cuckholding. He's like, oh, I bet that they've got cute nicknames for each other and they, they've like fallen into the part of relationship where you can comfortably just sit around and watch TV
Starting point is 00:38:54 and it's the best thing that happens to you. Oh, oh! D'ah! Ah! Oh! Oh, oh! Oh! She, oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I! Oh! I! I! Oh! I! I! Oh! I! I! I. I'm trying to get to the ground too. I want to know what their financial situation is. As in if he's doing all the financial support? I want to know if this dude is like a rich tech guy. Oh my god, you're a fucking cynic. You're wondering whether he is funding her life and she's just like... I'm sorry not being positive about the emotional cucking relationship. Well I'm only saying because there is a way to read it which is the cynical way, which is my way, which is that like her her closeness to him and like the
Starting point is 00:39:42 amount of times that she spends with him, how open she is with him, how much she talks to him and all of that sort of stuff stuff 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin thin to be to be toee toe toe toean thin. tean tean tean tean togs. toe toe thin. thin thin, thin, th of time that she spends with him, how open she is with him, how much she talks to him and all of that sort of stuff seems to be directly proportionate to whether or not she is currently fallen in love with someone who is not him and is spending all of her time with them. And it's like, and when that's not happening, she's like, yeah, I'll come back and hang out, but we also don't fuck much anymore. But then she gets to fall in love with someone else and then I don't see around much. He probably gets so much time to game though. Oh my god. Yeah. He's out there playing Dota to two.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I don't know what people love these days. He's like, oh yeah, I'm jacking my dick off. It's so hot that you're having sex other guys and then he's picking up the play se. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th fu th th fu th fu th th fu th fu th fu th fu th fu that that that that that that tho that that that that that that tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to to tho to that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that too too thu to too too too too too too too too too too too to too 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 thi to then he's picking up the PlayStation controller. I hate a few guys fucked for like 12 more hours. You guys should get into tantric sex because I'm actually, I've got a really important raid coming up. Yeah, I'm at 98% in Hollow Night. That last little bit takes a... It sounds like a, like I can't decide if this is the thing he did want to happen or the thing he didn't want to happen. Sometimes it's really difficult to identify, but sometimes it's very easy to identify if
Starting point is 00:40:53 something is the one thing you didn't want to happen. This is the one thing we didn't want to happen. Nice right there in the sting. Nice little headline on this one Ben. Thank you, I try my best. That's one of our private ones that we do not share with you the listener. I'd love to read it aloud to you, but I simply can't. Nope, that's Ben's business.
Starting point is 00:41:17 This comes to us from WJXT News in Jacksonville, Florida. Wheel falls off school bus with students on board, and it wasn't the first time this week. Awesome. Wow. Video shows students on board a school bus in Jacksonville, Florida watching as the wheel falls off and rolls beside them on a highway. I'm sure that this literal thing happens in the Simpsons or something, right?
Starting point is 00:41:44 Like that they look up and they see their own wheel rolling alongside them and they go, that's not good. Hmm. Aside from the footage itself, what might be even more shocking is that it isn't the first time it happened this week on this route to the same driver even after the buses were swapped out. So what's the common element between these two things? His old lucky Larry, the bus traveller. Because I mean it's very easy at this point to imagine that the wheel fell off the bus.
Starting point is 00:42:20 And they said we really got to get this bus fixed and the school opened their wallet and a big moth flew out in a spiral kind of pattern. And then they said, look, let's just pop that wheel back on there. Get you going again, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Up and they said, no, no, don't worry, we've got a different bus. We've got two buses. We're actually way ahead of this issue and
Starting point is 00:42:45 there's only one thing that could happen. Thankfully no one was injured and staff at the DeVal County School District and its bus contractor say they're working to make sure it doesn't happen again. Hmm. Well yeah we've got someone kicking all of the tires of the bus yard right now as we speak. Going around one two three of the bus yard right now as we speak. Going around one, two, three, four. Oh, this bus is fine. What do we will does a bus have by the way? More than four, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah. They're going where? I, look, at least, I think the saving grace here is probably the like the size of a bus and the spread of its like center of gravity and everything, you know? If a wheel pops off, it seems like... I guess it just wouldn't fall over, is that? They've got redundant tires on them as well, so like they've got double ties on him generally.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Whereas, you know, wheel comes off your Tesla and it will. You're fucked. It will. You're probably pretty fucked, you know? Uh, so you know, they're working to make sure it doesn't happen again. But parents remain concerned for some reason. Mm-hmm. I have to say, the first, like, as a parent, with kids in school, I think the first time it happened, I'd feel concerned.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Imagine the second time your kid comes home, like, wheel fell off the bus again. Like, come on, are you kidding me, school? Sorry, they would say, your mum, bus wheel wheel low-key fell off. For real, for real. For real, for real. No cap, they'd say to their parents. Bustlea's low-key beard. It was not busing. Oh.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Well, this, this... This fortuitously remained parent, Gladys Wheeling's, told W.J.X.T. that her daughter is a freshman in the district and was on the bus during both incidents. All right, so now I see another common element between the two. Pretty suspicious. So Wheeling's Jr. is on the bus. This both these times? Oh she just happened to be on the bus both time. Quote, she asked me, does she have to take that bus? Can I take her to school? But I'm a working single parent, so I'm sorry to say you will have to take shouldn't be funny, but it is. I'd put you in the safe hands of wheels fall off co. That's not great.
Starting point is 00:45:32 It's really bad. Yeah, we have barely any wheel falling off related fatalities for our buses. Most kids come home safe. The vast majority of children who travel on our buses come home alive. Nearly every single bus returns to the depot with the same number of wheels that are left with. What about the three wheels that stayed on or however many wheels minus one of buses? They don't count? It's an inscrutable mystery to you how many wheels are on a bus. Is it more than four? I'm on the internet. I think this picture I have I'm
Starting point is 00:46:05 on the internet I'm complaining about having Amphantasia been I can't close my eyes and just spin a bus in my head like the fucking meme tweet. The standard American yellow school bus that you pictured to my mind has six wheels which is one single pair of wheels at the front and then a set of double ties of the back. So what about the five wheels 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 th. that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. that's that's th. th. th. th. that's 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's the. the is to to to to to the to to to to to the the to the the to the the the the the. the the. the the the then a set of double wheels, double ties of the back. So what about the five wheels that came back, all right? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. If one of the back wheels falls off, you're probably fine. When you front wheels, you might be in strife.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I just think some of these parents are being like real glass-sixth empty kind of people, you know. Yeah, that's right like what about all the times the buses wheels didn't fall off you know it's mostly wheels down there school district officials told WJXT that they quote share the concerns of parents in the community about this problem and that they were all they all had a finger inside their collar and were tugging it outwards while they said this the bus contractor told the station the station the station the station the station the station the station the station th both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both both the 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 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 their th. the. the. the. the. te. te. te. te. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their the had a finger inside their collar and were tugging it outwards while they said this. The bus contractor told the station that both situations involved isolated maintenance issues and that they're emphasizing required maintenance checks prior to daily student pickup. That's the tire kicking. Not like crazy isolated though, you know, and that's the same week, same bus company, you know, same issue, since related.
Starting point is 00:47:27 It's really not isolated at all. Yeah. I mean, like, I gotta say, I do, I do agree with some of the parents if their position is, this is probably happening too much, you know? Yeah. More than you'd like it too. We'll stay on is sort of my goal. Ideally, ideally. And plus, you know, I mean, your kid is on the bus and the wheel comes off one time and nothing
Starting point is 00:47:55 happens to them and you go, few, really dodged a bullet there. Wheel comes off a second time and yet no harm comes to your kid. At that point you're thinking surely it's only a matter of time. Surely these wheels fying off are some kind of omen of things to come. There it is. You shall see hail fall from a clear sky and burn his fire upon the ground. You shall see darkness cover Egypt when the sun climbs high to noon. And you shall know that God is God and bow down to his will. The omens and importance for this week. From CNN, 18 year old survives lightning strike on first day of college.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Tap out. Go do something else. Take an apprenticeship, maybe have a gap year. Like, it's not for you. Start a saloon. Yeah. I personally think God is directly intervening to tell you not to take on those student lines. Yeah. Unless Joe Brandon just decides to forgive them. Yeah, you see it's dark Brandon now it's pretty cool. He's pretty cool. He's pretty cool. He's zapping people with his laser eyes. I mean like it is kind of cool but also I get a little chill down my spine when I see because he's dark he's a little scary. Yeah. I don't, if I'm looking at it on my phone and my kids try to see what it is I turn the phone away. Yeah how are you going to explain Joe Biden to your children? That's what I'm going to explain why I'm
Starting point is 00:49:31 calling this guy Dark Brandon. Why are you calling that extremely old man with several wisps of white hair on his egg-shaped head, dark Brandon. The freshman at the University of West Florida was walking to class on her first day of school when she got struck by lightning, zap! Luckily, she survived. Quote, a lot of doctors told me I should buy a lottery ticket because I was lucky, said 18-year-old Emma Eggler. What fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 00:50:02 You know how, uh, those scientists down at the hospital? Yeah. I don't think they really got a good grasp on probability, but that's probably their doctor. You don't? Well, is it a probability related thing? Or is it like a, you're lucky that the lightning didn't kill you? Well, yeah, but I'd say everyone else at the University of West Florida is more lucky because none of them got struck by lightninging....... the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thii. thi. thi. thioluiolui thi thi thi thi thioluioluasks thus si thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus 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 thi thus s s s s s s s s s s s s s sia siauia.sss.s.s. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th Florida is more lucky because none of them got struck by lightning. You're probably the least lucky person at the University of West Florida. Never buy a lottery ticket in your life. I think I want your money away. Yeah it'll turn into a monkeys poor situation for you for sure.
Starting point is 00:50:38 But you know I also think if the implication is you were lucky to be struck by lightning and not die then I would argue that you have the the the th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the the least the least the the least the the the the the least the least the least the the the the the the the the the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least the least 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 thus. the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea thu. thu. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the think if the implication is you were lucky to be struck by lightning and not die, then I would argue that you have used up a very good chunk of the luck that has been a portion to you in this lifetime. Absolutely, that's also what I'm thinking, right? Like why are you going to buy a fucking lottery ticket? You should have bought a lottery ticket instead of getting struck by lightning. Yeah, you't have gone to college. You know? It's right, perfect. You just be one of those guys who, or, or ladies who threw out all their money, like, holding
Starting point is 00:51:11 demolition derbies in their front yard. You're saying that non-binary people don't waste their millions? I would be like the one person that doesn't go mad from lottery millions. I'd spend it so cool so cool so cool so cool so cool so cool No, you would though. I didn't guess. You guys would stay in the same house. You would get your garage redone, I think, but with the same plans that you would originally had for getting the garage redone. Yeah, you don't want to put airs on it because oh, now I'm worth 17 million dollars. Yeah, I think I think thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that's tho tho tho tho tho tho- tho- tho' tho- tho- tho- tho tho tho tho th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thou thou thou thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Yeah. I think though, like, surely it depends on whether you're talking like, yeah, I won five million dollars in the lottery or I won like the Powerball mega millions, like you know the American ones where it's like somebody won the $300 million jackpot. How about the guy that won 1.6 billion dollars?
Starting point is 00:52:05 For real? Yeah. Is that what they're doing now? Yeah, it's real. It's... What the... What? Well, you've got to imagine it probably, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:16 I mean, it just increases linearly with the amount of people in the lottery, right? So if we're given away 20 million or 30 million or something in Australia, it's got to be megabocks over there. Well yeah but they also started doing this thing and I'm not a not a gambler, not a lotto person or anything so please forgive me if this has actually been taking place for like fucking decades or anything but I think within the last sort of, I don't know, five years, five to ten years, they now have a thing where you from Australia can buy tickets in like American lotteries. Yeah, we've spoken about on the podcast before where it's actually like, you're not physically
Starting point is 00:52:58 buying a ticket in it because that's illegal. It's like a weird insurance thing where you are gambling against the odds of the result being the number that you have selected as well and then it's paid out by the Australian company. Which I think it's similar to how like um how there's there's like apps and stuff where you can buy shares for companies on the American stock market. And the same thing for the Australian stock market as well, where you're not setting yourself up as like a sole trader and buying those shares, you're running it through a third party, which is whoever runs this app, like the American Robin Hood type thing, you know. And so you buy your shares and you see your little ticket go up and down and everything, but you're not actually not 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 the the th, and the the same, and the same, and the same, and the same thi, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same the same the same the same the same the same the same, the same, th, the same, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, and thr-a, and the same, and thr-a, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same, and so you buy your shares and you see your little ticket go up and down and everything, but you're not actually doing that.
Starting point is 00:53:47 You're contributing money that goes into a massive investment fund that is managed by some company that then buys those shares and sort of says, hey, we've got a little handshake agreement that those shares belong to you. And I get it. But then you don't actually buy them. Much like buying an American lottery ticket. But I do wonder, does that contribute to these jackpots, just getting bigger and bigger and bigger that there's like people from other countries also buying into American mega-lotto things?
Starting point is 00:54:17 No, that money doesn't go into the pool. Or do they just peg other lotteries against the US lottery because it's so stable? They've got all those lottery tickets at Fort Knox. So that makes sense. Look I think we could all agree. I've hit the jackpot maybe if any of these lottery tickets come up in this week's jackpot. I think we could all agree that this goal simply should have chosen to win $200 million. Instead of choosing to be stuck by like like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 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 makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that makes that, that makes that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that makes that, th th th. Yeah, th. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, that that, that's that makes that that that, thatex thatex thatex thatex that, that makes that makes that makes that, that, agree that this girl simply should have chosen to win $200 million instead of choosing to be talked about like that. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, it's basically pretty stupid for that. Hey, uh, nice name Emma Eggler. Hey, awo. And also congratulations on getting electrocuted. Very, uh, very name that Stan Lee would have given a character in 1962 before revealing later on that she was the villain, the Eggster. You know? Emma Eggler, who got her powers from being struck by lightning on her first day of college.
Starting point is 00:55:14 She was working to class when she was struck by lightning. She collapsed on the sidewalk after the lightning hit her in the chest. Yeah, that sounds right. Oh, Christ alive. Yeah, that sounds right. Oh, Christ alive. Yeah, that is a nightmare. Yeah, that's hell. Although, hear me out here, Theo, she says, I didn't feel anything at all, really.
Starting point is 00:55:34 I just woke up on the ground. So, it sounds awful. Yeah, bonus nap. Plus, she's also Samuel Jackson from Unbreakable, so. I woke up feeling very well rested. Use that as you will. Uh, the electricity traveled down the left side of her body, and her watch exploded and burned her wrist.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Oh. It went down to her foot, putting a hole in her sock and one in her sneaker. Oh, goodness. UWF Senior, Nelson Libet and others ran over to Egler, put her on a bench and called 911. Libbitt started talking to her to calm her down. Quote, I would be freaking out over this, but you, you're so strong, you're a strong freshman, said Libet. Why do Americans speak like these?
Starting point is 00:56:19 Why are they like this? Well, you're a strong freshman, you're a strong freshman, fresher. You're the freshest fresher I've ever seen, freshman. You're not as good as a sophomore or whatever that is. You're not a senior or whatever the other ones are, but you're a good freshman. God damn. Fucked up. She was taken to a hospital where doctors told her parents she was lucky the bolts didn't stop her heart. And then I assume, I assume they wrote a prescription for like five lottery tickets or whatever.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Egla has been released from hospital and has regained movement in her legs. She is expected to return to classes next week. Well that's fucked up. I take more time. Yeah. I'd take more time in like five years. Go to South America. Back back around South America instead of starting a West Florida College or whatever the fuck you're at. I know I've missed a few episodes recently because I've been traveling around here and there. But speaking of instant naps, speaking of instant naps, was I on,
Starting point is 00:57:27 did I tell the story of my of my visit to the dentist last week? No, no you haven't yet. So, this is, I'm going to say it up front, this is the most Andrew thing to ever happen. And I'm going to lay out two tenants that we somehow missed from the from the intro of Andrew's character. th. th. th. th. th. th. th's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thing to ever happen. I'm going to lay out two tenants that we somehow missed from the intro of Andrews character. One, he has no sense of linear time time, time to show, especially to schedules, time zones, podcast, etc. And two, the man loves to take drugs. Keep that in your mind as Andrew tells this story. So I have probably mentioned at some point of doing this show that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho the tho tho the the the the the tho the the the intro the an the a thoome thoome thoome thoome from thoes from the the. One is the. One is the. One is the. One is the. One the the the the the the the the the the the intro the the intro the the the the the the the the the the the the an intro the an intro the an intro the an intro the an intro the an intro the an intro the an the an theananananananananananananne an intro the an intro the an intro the. Keep that in your mind as Andrew tells this story. So I have probably mentioned at some point of doing the show that I do not care to visit the dentist. It is scarewey to me. It's very fairly scary. Over the years it's gotten worse,
Starting point is 00:58:17 I would like put it off more and more. I get very panicky. So you know, maybe last year I really have to go to the dentist but I was also like this is going to have the to have to have the to have to have to have to have to have the to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a to have a to have to have a to have to have a to have to have a to have to have a to have to have 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I. I th. I th. I th. I. I. I'm. I. I'm. I. I'm. I'm. I'm th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm try. I'm try. I'm. I'm try. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm try. I'm the. I really have to go to the dentist, but I was also like, this is going to fuck so bad. I'm very, I'm having a bad time. And my wife was like, why don't you take one of the valiums that I have in the cupboard for anxiety related reasons? And I said, you can't do that. That's illegal. And I like Googled, because I was like, oh, is there any potential for complications?
Starting point is 00:58:48 I'm googling this shit and Americans are all like, yeah, my doctor just like shot me full of heroin before putting me in the chair. They're like, they will prescribe anything to you. So I took it and that got me through going to the dentist. And so I mentioned to my dentist afterwards I said hey look I have a really bad time coming in here and doing this stuff and he was like oh strange you seem very calm and I was like there is a reason for that. I said I know you're not supposed to do it but I've taken some of my wife's valium to get myself in here and he said oh well I can just write you a script you a single valium, you know, and then you take that before the next procedure, and then after that one, I can prescribe you one for the next thing.
Starting point is 00:59:26 And I said, cool. And so I did that, and a couple of weeks ago, one of my teeth started hurting very, very badly, like, real bad, like, like, couldn't sleep at night, kind of bad, right? So I was having a very, very poor time, took me a day or two to be able to get into the dentist and I went in there and he said, all right, if we want to save that bad boy, well you've got to do a root canal, three appointments, woo! And I had had this valium and gone in there, to the amount of pain and the general days I was in, I have forgotten to ask for the other prescription. So then I'm like, now I've got to go in and get another root canal, but I haven't sorted this shit out.
Starting point is 01:00:11 I phoned the dentist, say, hey, I was wondering about getting this script and they go, yeah, yeah, sure. We'll get him to write a script for you, you just come in and pick up the script up the script up the script up the script up the script up up the script up the script up the script up the script up the script up the script up the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and I the script, and the script, and the script, and get, and get, and get, and get, and the script, and th. thi, and thi, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, and the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, the script, thro, thro, thro, thro, throoooo, throooooooooo, and thro, and thro, and thro script and he has given me a box of 50 valiums with the prescription to take four of them before coming in to the dentist. Jesus. He, at this point, he just wants to be operating on a dead body. Yeah, wouldn't that just knock you out? That is druthers. How would you describe the conversations you've had with them?
Starting point is 01:00:41 Like do you guys seem to have a rapport or... He's very handsome, I'll say that. But like my my suspicion is because I had to like a phone up and go down there and they had to like get him to do a thing. I wonder if he was just like I'm not doing this every time this dude comes in. Bam lay the shit on it. Just drag that guy up. So he prescribes me 20 milligrams of valium to come in and get this root canal done. Also it's fucked up, doctors are not, sorry, dentists are not doctors of the body. They're not like doctors of the central nervous system. Let me ask you the teeth thrown your body. Yeah, when do you with the effects of giving Andrew Law a box of 50.
Starting point is 01:01:31 I did not know they had the power to disped psychoactive medication. That is new to me. I've had them give me like two. I'm like, take these next time. I didn't know they could just give you a box of 50. I didn't know he was going to do that either, but it was a to be to be to be the to be their th. It was a th. It was a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I. I. I'm, thiol-a. I'm, th. I'm, their. I'm, their. I'm, their, their, the effect. I'm, the effect.

I didn't know he was going to do that either but it was a pleasant surprise. So I was feeling poorly around the time of my second appointment. I push it out by a week. And so on the day, you know, wait until half an hour beforehand, a down a handful of these bad boys. Elna drives me in, drops me off next to the dentist. I like like like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the th. th. th was like, the, the, the, the, the's the's the's thi's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the, the, the, the, the, the the an theananneeannea thean., theanneean.eanneean.eanneeanneeanneean, thean, thean, thean, these bad boys, Elna drives me in, drops me off next to the dentist. I like walk in there very slowly and walk to the counter and go, I am here for my appointment and the lady looks at the thing
Starting point is 01:02:16 and says, your appointment is tomorrow. And I went, oh no, goodbye. And I turned around and just like shuffled out of the door. Floated through the open doors. Just back out into the shopping center that this dentist is in. I call Elder and I'm like, I'm not meant to be here today. I've made a whittle mistake. She, she'd not meant to be here today. I've done a wittle mistake. She'd gone off to pick a few things up from Bunnings and she's like, oh, should I come back now and game? I'm like, no, no, do whatever and I'll just move around the mall really
Starting point is 01:02:57 slow for a while. I'll go play with the foot imager at Athlet's foot from the wall. I think I went in, I was walking past a, like I was walking past a jeweler and they had this like model of watch I'd been looking at and I just kind of glided in there. The lady's like, oh you looking a thing and I said, I've seen that one on the internet. And she, she like pulled it out and I put it on and I was like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, the like, the like, the like, the like, the like, the like, the like, the like, that's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's've seen that one on the internet. And she like pulled it out and I put it on and I was like that's nice. I just gave it back to her and walked out of the store. Have a good day lady. So you know Elna comes back to the mall and finds me and she's like okay let's go home she turns around and walks off and like turns back a second later I'm like 20 meters behind her. I go back home sit down on the couch you know the the appointment was at like

I did because like I had said in the morning, I was, I'd said in the morning like at work, I was like, hey I'm gonna be like out for a chunk of the afternoon because I got to go to this Dennis appointment. And then I fucking put myself in a coma for the second half of the day, and the appointment was just the next day. I had to do it again the next day. Luckily, I had a big box of valium and I could just take a bunch more. Relax. And that was that was twice as much value as the previous time I had been into the dentist, right? Was what the dentist was recommending I take. And um, and that appointment was great.

Starting point is 01:04:47 asleep in the chair a couple of times. Because I think I did the thing where you go, you know? Because I remember them going, are you okay? Is everything all right? I'm like, everything's very fine. Strangely, I don't feel anxious about this at all. You should rip my teeth out. Go nuts in there. I'm like, everything's very, I'm like, I. I. I. I. I.

Go nuts in there. Oh man. I think, um, yeah, I gotta keep going back and get all my shit fixed up. Spent so many years doing the bare minimum, and it always just comes back very badly later on. When at some point, like, just a quarter of your tooth falls off, you know? Yeah, we love our free health care here in Australia, right?
Starting point is 01:05:31 I find that we're a party in Australia pushing for there to be dentistry included in Medicare. Hmm. But that's a podcast. Yeah, I think that's a podcast. Yeah, I think that's a podcast That's an episode of the Irreverant News and Current Events podcast point-a-vista and I take four valium every time we record this We all do that's why our energy is to say a charm man Sometimes I listen to other podcasts and like whoa I'm like slow down. Jesus. He's up there, Chief.
Starting point is 01:06:05 He's up a little bit. Not a race. You've got to run out of stuff to talk about. Take it easy, please. Look, we've, we've thought about it before, you know, whether or not we will ever transition to being a, uh, a billion, the grunter type the grunter in the grunter you know get that kind of energy where like no matter what anybody's saying everybody
Starting point is 01:06:34 else is going I was listening to a podcast the other day for the first time where they had like in a not very noticeable way, but enough that it was freaking me out and I couldn't figure out why for a little while, they had trimmed, I think I would say they had used audacity's automatic trim silence feature to get rid of every single pause, which means that people, they did it so aggressively that people were responding to jokes before they could have possibly got them with a like a quip, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I th and I th and I th and I th and I 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, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that that that that that thri thri thriiiiiiiiiiiiii thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, they did it so aggressively that people were responding to jokes before they could have possibly got them with a quip with like building on it and riffing on it, where I was just like, oh, oh, ah, get spooked. Calm down. Just slow down a little bit.
Starting point is 01:07:17 You can leave some breathing space in there. People do that when they talk. Yeah, I think I've, I've tried that before Ben, like one of those things, 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, thin, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, they, they they they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, thi. theeeea. thi. thi. thi, the, Just relax. Yeah, I think I've tried that before, Ben, like one of those things where you go, oh, I'll just, I'll trim out some of the dead space. Because believe it or not, when we first started doing this show, and you're first trying to, yeah, when we first started and like, you know, we're all remote and we couldn't see each other and you just, thi, th............

We. to. to. I, to jump in and talk over each other and they'll just be like Some significant gaps. You definitely like I spent a lot of time going through and like just tightening stuff up But if you run like like you said you run something automated over it and like there are times when people will pause for effect or like no-sell or like no-sell a joke. You know like we can just be in your own tho-to-tip. their their their the-time. the-time the-time the-time. the s. theat. the s s. their their their their their their their their the sau. 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 their their their their their their their their their thea. thea. tip. tip. tipe. tipe. tip. tipe. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. your own thoughts when we have those pauses.

Starting point is 01:08:12 on it and it like it was just slightly too it's too much and also like our favorite running joke on this I think is for no one to laugh at someone's joke on purpose.
