Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Buntavista. I'm your host Rush Limbaugh and we're here in hell. I'm here because I died shitting and farting all over myself. And then I also ate the shit and I told everyone how much I was enjoying eating the shit and how badly I wished that I had more shit to eat so that I could shit myself again and then eat the shit and farts that came from my body after that. I will not be missed. I'm joined here in hell by all my friends who also died shitting and fighting all over themselves, like George Bush Sr., John McCain, the entire past and future line up to
Starting point is 00:00:58 Pitsburgh Penguins and Buntavista host Andrew, how are you enjoying your time in hell so far? Pretty good. I'm kind of waiting for you to finish up with the one spoon that we all have to share. I don't want to get my hands dirty. Eating my big bowl of shit. What are we going to do? Get another spoon up here? What do you think this is?
Starting point is 00:01:17 Came out? You know, everybody's got to share the one spoon. I got to lick all your shit off it when you're done. Then I got to eat my big bowl of shit, pass it down without cleaning it off, because apparently that's how we do things. Who am I passing it down to? Who am I passing it down to? Who knows? Who knows? We've all got to share it. The Fee? That's who I'm passing. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's. th. That's. That's. th. That's th. th. th. th. th. That's th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Starting point is 00:01:47 little gremlin. Now, he may be a talented sandwich artist, but he's also the guy in hell in charge of playing the ukulele and his repertoire extends only to Mumford and Sun's songs. Ben, how did you end up in this job? Well, they just, um, they saw I had a knack for twee annoying ukulele covers that add absolutely nothing to the song whatsoever and that no one enjoys but it's easier than playing guitar. And then they said, hey, here you go. Now I do notice you've got a little Cassio keyboard there with you. Is there any possibility you could kind of do like an ironic piano cover of some Wutang clan or something? A friend of mine used to do shows around Brisbane
Starting point is 00:02:31 of doing ironic Casio covers of songs. Very good actually. Shout to my friend Liam. He might well of. Okay, well I have seen Liam do it. Specifically what was he Was he a large muscular man wearing probably a shirt with no sleeves? No, it was a very kind of milk toast looking white guy. Oh no, this is a, you'd remember Liam, he's absolutely jacked. Oh, I know Liam. This is a different Liam. I'm sure he's a good chat. Yeah, sorry, let's uh, signal out all to Liam. This is a different Liam. I'm sure he's a good. Yeah sorry let's uh signal out all the Brisbane Liams that we know. Oh finishing up our tour of hell. We're just going to head down past the chemist's warehouse down here. Also the place where they manufacture the smell of every lush store.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Here we find a gorgeous little cherub, a small winged man with the face of every lush store. And here we find a gorgeous little cherub, a small winged man with the face of an angelic baby. He's here on secondment from heaven, fixing our IT problems, which are mostly the fact that our Twitter accounts only seem to be able to follow that Jeff guy who replies to every Donald Trump tweat, calling him like a crumulant fuckwumble. Theo, how are you enjoying your change of scenery here? Oh, it's very, it's kind of hot down there, like it's not really...
Starting point is 00:03:50 It's pretty warm down here, you know? It's the humidity that gets, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm already mostly nude, with my adorable little cherub tits, kind of, just sort of, out there and everything, and my little diaper and what have you. But we don't really like you'd think you'd catch a chill up there but it's fine it's like you don't really have to think about temperature but like down here it's it's not good and the smell as well. I think the temperature is sort of making the smell a lot worse I have to say I have to say they they kind of found some real synergies the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thine thine thine thine thin.

So I'm not, look I'm, I don't want to be kind of, you know, a bit like, you know, this is how the other half lives and what have you, but I, if it's just you and me, I'm kind of looking forward to getting back up there, man. All right, I mean, take it up with HR. Hitler over there, go off a chat. They got that PS 5 up there. It's pretty good. You guys only got
Starting point is 00:04:50 PS 4s down here, terrible stuff. And that explains the noise. Not even the pro. It's the one with like no storage, the one where you have to like delete a game if you have more than two games on it. And what's that? that, 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. that that that that that that's that's that the. P.

Is that music? Is it, hey Geronimo, Hey Geronimo, Hey, the Hologna Hour? Sure is. It's the Hey Geronimo Hour that features every hour down here and how old.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Is that Hey Geronimo Eon actually? It wasn't for a very long time. My favorite part is the way that Ben keeps loudly playing his Jack Johnson covers over the top of Hey Geronimo. It's like he can't hear it, but I can hear both of them constantly. It's and you can't really focus on one more than the other, but even if you could, neither is better. We have fun down here, don't we? We do. And, um, you know, two sources of music is a lot. And it's a shame that I have to introduce a third because Theo has bought us news from up above of another a beautiful blonde cherub-faced angels sent down from heaven. Of course, talk Talking about God's gift. Shane Warren.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Shane. Shane. Shane's thought in L.T. He's still alive. Doing his thing. L.Chings on Instagram. Doing his things. Liking chicks on Instagram. Go off Shane Warren.
Starting point is 00:06:33 When he dies, he'll go to hell. Yep. Time for another installation of where in the wide world of warning is Shane Air quotes Warnie and air quotes Warn What's upon a time? The prized bowler with the Australian cricket team until all of his disgraces before that his disgrace is during that and the many disgraces afterwards? As far as I can gather he just kind of keeps doing some form of disgrace pretty much all the many disgraces afterwards. As far as I can gather, he just kind of keeps doing some form of disgrace
Starting point is 00:07:08 pretty much all the time. Yeah, I think he spends his days alternating between ads for baldness treatment and disgrace. Liking the photos of Bonza Chicks on Instagram. And... It's perfectly legal. Doing, uh, doing commentary for the cricket, in which he basically says,
Starting point is 00:07:29 ah, everyone's bad except for the Australians who are also bad at cricket. Not like me, Shane Warn. So, um, Shane was just doing a little posting. He's pretty active on Twitter. Like for someone who was also, as far as I can tell, very active on Instagram, he's also relatively active on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And last week, he's do a little bit of posting. And he has quite tweeted the Twitter account, fact. At fact. I assume that this is where Shane gets most of his knowledge. If it's not an at fact he doesn't know it. Oh I need to get a new fact in me. Where am I going to go? Straight to at fact. And they posted the at fact. There are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on the earth.
Starting point is 00:08:27 To which warning has responded, That can't be true, surely. I feel like the tone of voice you've given him is very generous. That sounds very measured. I imagine he's screaming at his phone as he's saying this. It's fucking not on, not true. That can't be true. Surely. More stars in the sky than grains of sand on the earth, ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Rack off, you know, I can hold a lot of sand in my hands when I'm at the beach, as I am frequently. Uh, he follows this up with the tweet, P.S. So who's counted the grains of sand? Please. What a mind. What are they? Please. You know when people are talking about like the possibility of alien life and they say like, yeah, so we're going around one star and there's a whole bunch of planets and then every star you see up there has the possibility to have a bunch of planets. And then also this is just in like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one like the one the one like the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. their the the tho. the tho. What their. What their. What their. What the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the one. the one. the one. the one. the one one th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. thoo. thoooooo. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. tho. tho and then every star you see up there has the possibility to have a bunch of planets and then
Starting point is 00:09:26 also this is just in like the one solar system and the galaxy is a whole bunch bigger than that. I feel like Shane sort of missed any of those conversations. I would love to know what he thinks is in space like describe describe to the theynillary thi to describe. the the the the the 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi is thi is thi is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thii thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi you think as we get further out. Like, does he know the Milky Way? Does he know there's other galaxies? Does he, like, or they're just things that don't concern him? He's a practical man. Just needs his hand and his ball.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I only think Shane's counten, wickets. And somebody'd sell about all the times that he porked Elizabeth Hurley. The one thing he's keeping count of. So somebody tries to help Shane out by sending him an article for NPR. Very optimistic. Very optimistic on warning. Just putting on his pair of glass, oh let me just read this article from NPR. Oh absolutely, yes. I think the first problem there is the one the one the one the one the one the one. The one the one. The one the one the one. The one the one the one. The one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one thing is thi the one thi. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one th. The one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one. The one the one. The one the one the one. The one the one the one th. The one th. The one th. The one thi. The one thi. The one thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. One thing. Oh, absolutely, yes. I think the first problem there is that NPR does significantly longer form pieces than the Twitter account at fact. It is true. So they send this to him saying,
Starting point is 00:10:38 have you heard of estimation Shane? And they send him the article which says, and let me give you some of the content here. Science writer David Blattner in his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his the this this this this this th. this this the this th. I. I th. I the this th. I th. I the th. I the th. I th. I the the the th. I thi. I the the the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first.

Yes. send him the article which says, let me give you some of the content here, science writer David Blatner in his new book Spectrums says a group of researchers at the University of Hawaii being well-first in all things beachy. Trying to calculate the number of grains of sand. Because they're at the University of Hawaii. Which I assume all classes right there on the beach. Yeah, yeah their classroom is the beach and waves are their lecturers. Hmm. A state sponsored Jeff Spacoli in every class. That is so true. Mm-hmm. They said if you assume a grain of
Starting point is 00:11:20 sand has an average size and you calculate how many grains are in a a teaspoon and then multiply by all the beaches and deserts in the world. The earth has roughly, and we're speaking very roughly here, 7.5 times 1,018 grains of sand. I'm going to go ahead and say it, 7.5 times 10 to the power of 18. Thank you. I wipe the formatting as I paste it. Yeah, that doesn't seem like a lot of grains of sand. Yeah. Shane's on to some. There's about 10,000 grains of sand. Hold up. Or seven quintillion, 500 quadrillion grains. Okay, so how about stars? Well to my amazement, it turns out that when you look up, even on a clear and starry night, you won't see very many stars. That's probably where Shane's coming unstuck. Blatner says the number is in a low, low, several thousand range, which gives the sand-grained
Starting point is 00:12:13 folks a landslide victory. But we're not limiting ourselves to what an ordinary stargazer can see. But Shane is like a baby, he lacks object permanence. So if he can't see it or if hands go in front of his face, normal stars. During the daytime he believes there is one star in the universe. One star. Yeah, Shane is outside looking up, but he's in London. There's are no stars as far as I can tell.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Let's say our stargazer gets a Hubble telescope and a calculator. So now we can count distant galaxies, faint stars, red dwarfs, everything we've ever recorded in the sky, and boom! Now the population of stars jumps enormously to 70,000 million, million stars in the observable universe. That is a 2003 estimate. So that we've got multiple stars for every grain of sand, which means, sorry, grains, you are nowhere near as numerous as the stars. So that makes stars the champions of numerosity. No?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Why are scientists like this? Just be normal. Fucking nerds. Trying to make your science writing cool. No. That's when Blatner hits us with his sucker punch. Yes, he says the number of stars in the heavens is an thiousousousousousousousousousousousousousousous. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, th. It's, th. It's. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, thatner hits us with his sucker punch. Yes, he says the number of stars in the heavens is an unbelievably large number, but then, very matter-of-factly, he adds it, you will find the same number of molecules in just 10 drops of water, everybody's favorite unit of measurement.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Let me repeat, if you took 10 drops of water, not extra big drops, just regular drops, and counted the number of H2O molecules in those drops you'd get a number equal to all the stars in the universe. I don't think that's a great gotcha to be like no no there are lots of molecules yeah there are other big numbers out there. Yeah imagine how many atoms are in the universe did you fucking think about that? How many molecules are there in a star? Do you know how many electrons there are inside of Carmen Electra? Hmm? Probably a lot. Heaps. Like there's tons of them. I'd say there was probably heaps, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:13 More than 10,000. More than 100 electrons. So somebody has helpfully forwarded all this on to Warnie. And what does Warnie think of this particular article? I'm really, this is a direct quote from the man himself. Rubbish! End quote. End quote.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I'm reading this is really quite aggressive. He's like bullshit. We fool off with your science. Challenging my understanding of the universe. Fuck you. Oh, what a smart guy. It's so cool that he has an estimated worth of $50 million. That is cool.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You know the other day, I think we were talking about warning about I don't think we ever got to the show and I was thinking, how did he ever get tha thua thua thua thua thua th. th. th. th. th. th. thi th. that that that that that that that that that that that that that to to to tho tho to be that that that to be to be to be to be told. told. told. told. to be told. told. to be told. to be told. to be to be told. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's th. th. th. He's thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. tho. tho. to to to tho. to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to the show and I was thinking how did he ever get someone as hot as Elizabeth Hurley? Yeah he's not a hot man you know. He's not an attractive man, he's not a nice man. I don't think he's particularly funny. He doesn't strike me as a curious man. Someone with someone is good at conversation. Someone who can drink a beer normally. He is a great fast bowler. And then I had a little reedy of Elizabeth Hurley's Wikipedia page, and I got to this
Starting point is 00:15:36 quote. So in June 2016, Hurley expressed her support for the UK leaving the European Union and urged the public to vote in the 2016 European Union membership referendum saying, quote, if it means we can go back to using decent light bulbs and choose high-powered hair dryers and vacuum cleaners if we so which I'm joining Brexit for sure. So it does that is because she's a fucking moron. She's like Donald Trump with thes out that is because she's a fucking moron. She's like Donald Trump. It's like Donald Trump with the shower pressure thing.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Well, I'm glad that she can go back to, you know, I'm sure that not getting to use her hair dryer of choice was a big concern for former supermodel Elizabeth Hurley. Mm-hmm. I am... I'm just used to. I saw a survey for... I saw a survey for... use her hair dryer of choice was a big concern for former supermodel Elizabeth Hurley. I just used to. I saw a survey from the other day of like, oh actually no sorry, this survey now that I'm looking at it is from three years ago but it's a what leave voters want to happen in the UK after Brexit and it's like a percentage of what leave voters say should be brought back. It's understandable, it's understandable, it's understandable, it's understandable that that would happen. That to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to just to just to just to just to just to just to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to use to just to just to use to use to use to use to use to use to use just just just to use just just just just to use just just just to use just just just just just just just to use just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. to use. Just. Just. Just. Just. to want to happen in the UK after Brexit, and it's like a percentage of what leave voters say should be brought back. It's understandable, it's understandable, Ben, that would happen because Brexit has actually taken 16 years to happen. 16 hundred years to take place, that's right.
Starting point is 00:16:57 So 53% of respondents said they wanted the death penalty to come back. Oh, damn. Two percent said they wanted dark blue passports to come back. 52% said they wanted dark blue passports to come back. 48% said they wanted selling goods in pounds and ounces to come back. 42% said they wanted corporal punishment back in schools. That is four out of 10 people. 30% said they wanted traditional incandescent light bulbs to come back. 11% smoking and positive restaurants and 9% pre-decimal currency, but three out of 10 people be like, I'm sick of these flash new lightbulbs, we need to go back to the old ones that burnt out really quickly and were really hot.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Democracy was a mistake. This is fucking insane. How is this like a common issue of people being like, oh, I'm sick of the new light poles? I'm outraged that no one from the government will beat this shit out of my kids. Who else is going to do it? Yeah. Very busy. I beat the shit out of them when they're at home but I can't watch them all day. You know, I send them, I send them out in the world, I send them to good, honest British public
Starting point is 00:18:13 schools and I expect the teachers there to be beating the shit out of them. What else are they learning? What are they getting paid for? their their their their their their they they their they their they their their they their their. they their they they their their th. th. thi. thi. they thi. they they they they thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeeeeat theateateateateateatea. I theateateatea. I theeateatea. I theateatea. I thea. I that kids. Damn. Somebody please think of hitting the children. Man, that's such a such a weird vibe. I wonder if that's the whole kind of I don't actually have kids in school but I remember somebody hitting me and now I think it's a good idea. And I turned out fine. Yeah. And I turned out fine. Yeah. I definitely turned out fine. That's why I think kids should be hit. Like people remembering things from their youth, which was the last time they were happy. Like being like oh we should definitely go back to pounds and ounces. It's not any practical concern you have. It's just that you remember getting an ounce of sweets when you were a kid or whatever. Like lots of sweeties for one shilling. Yeah. I had an ounce of sweeties for
Starting point is 00:19:11 Thruppin's. An eel pie used to be a happeny you know? What happened? I played Conkers, whatever the fuck that is. My my PE teacher hit me with a rope. Oh on the Nintendo 64. Yeah, Yeah, me and my friends were all half. Bloody old Brits. That's so weird. Light bulbs, sure, you fucking freaks. I hate it when everything's so good all the time due to standards. Why?
Starting point is 00:19:42 When was the last time you guys changed the light bulb, you reckon? Oh, I had to... So when we moved in here, we 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 to to to to to to to to to 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 the. the. theathea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. thea. thea. thea. thea last time you guys changed the light bulb, you reckon? I had to, so when we moved in here we had to change them constantly because there are these horrible like, not, they're like mini, what are the fluorescent ones but they're like the fluorescent ones but they're like, they're like the fluorescent tube ones that like just wrap around? And they would just like burn out, they're like, they're like, their, their, 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, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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. So, the. So, so, so, the. So, so, so, so, so, the. So, so, the. So, so, the. So, so, their, th get the, they're in normal socket, but they're like the fluorescent tube ones that like just wrap around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they were just like burn out constantly. We'd lose like one every month or so. That's too much.
Starting point is 00:20:13 There's too many. You got to go back to the old ones. No, we started buying the old, Light bulb technology has advanced. It has advanced. We went forwards. My problem is that light bulbs don't help the fact that I am a fucking idiot. And I go in and I go, uh, that's the equivalent of how many watts? What type?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I like a warm room. And then I buy some type of light bulb and I put it in and I'm like, the room is now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now the room is now the room is now now the room is now the room is now now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is the room is the room is the room is the room is the room is the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now the room is now now now now the room is now now now now now now now the room is now now'm like, ah, the room is now quite dim. I picked one that is probably for some entirely incorrect purpose. But the problem is that they don't die, so I'm just stuck with it. I'm looking for the dimest bulb I can get. Every time I get what I'm like, oh, that's too bright. That's ruining the vibe in here.
Starting point is 00:21:01 It's too harsh man. Yeah well you get those ones that are like this one throws a clinical shade you know. No thank you no. Harsh this bulb is the harshest lighting possible. It's hashing my mellow extremely hard. Light bulbs total scam. Mmm don't need him. Who needs him? Wow Estimation? Total scam. Uh-huh. Leggings that can cure the coronavirus, technically another scam in this edition of Scammatch. Nothing real. Well, you know, we love a scam.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Well, you know we love a scam. Love a good scam. Ben, you send a link to us to the government website, scam watch. Scamwatch.com-watch.com-do-wo. You send them a cease and desist. And you sent it like with a question mark, like you were just finding out that it existed.

Well, I mean it, it, obviously it started off as the boat watch segment and then we've watched
Starting point is 00:22:15 a bunch of other things and we're doing, hey, that guy's not from your bank. Don't. If he worked at your bank, he'd know some of this stuff. These aren't really your COVID-19 test results because you didn't go for a COVID-19 test. I'm trying to remember. I got a call from a scammer recently, which is quite rare for me. Instead now I get a lot of phone calls, which are just from like a phone number that I don't know, not like a blocked number. Just a phone number that I don't know, and I answer in it either,
Starting point is 00:22:54 plays a pre-recorded Chinese message, that's probably the most frequent thing that happens. Or I answer it and say hello and then it hangs up.

Yeah I get a ton of those pre-recorded message ones. So I get those a lot but I did get one recently that was somebody calling up and I'm trying to remember the the company that they were saying they were from but they were like ah oh it was eBay this guy was like hi I'm calling from eBay. And I went okay. Sure and he said yeah th, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I that, I that, I that, I that, 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, it it, it, it, it that, it that, it that, it that it that it th that it was th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Starting point is 00:23:28 And he said, yeah, there's an issue that I need to talk to you about, but I just need to confirm your information first for like privacy purposes. I said, what are you talking about? And he said, well, I can't tell you that until I've confirmed that you're the right person. I said, why? Why would I tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell th I tell th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I tell th I th I tell the the the the the the the thi that the the the the the the thi. that. that. that. that. that. that. 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. thi. thi. the. the. that that that the. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the. the. the. the. th can't tell you that until I've confirmed that you're the right person.

Starting point is 00:23:51 And the guy went, oh, okay, just give me a second to check your file and I will let you know let you know what the issue is that we're talking about. And then he hung up the the the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone he up he up he up he up he up he hung up he hung up he he he hung up he hung up he Got to get a go to give a go, you know?

Starting point is 00:24:16 You've got to give a go. No, you've got to get a go to go with. Bung a Bob, Big Ben to bong again for Brexit. Eat out to help out. Eat out to help out while you're bunging a Bob to big Ben for Brexit. Fucking hell. The world is collapsing, honestly. Anyway, scam watch. So this is a press release from the A-triple-C from December 2020.
Starting point is 00:24:53 The A-triple-C for the benefit of people who don't live in Australia, in the Australian consumer competition. Commission? Quatch dog. What a fuck? Who quatch dogs? Who? Consumer Competition. Quatchdog. Quotch dog. What the fuck? Who quatch dogs to quatch dog? Australian consumer competition quatch dog.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah, that's what it means. They've taken Lorna Jane to court over antivirus activeware claims. For overseas listeners, Lorna Jane is I guess like a Lulu Lemon adjacent active wear for white women company. I don't know what that is but it's I assume it's the white woman version of like whoever sells the sweatpants that you immediately just get you know coffee stains and yeah. I think I can explain this to you the here. Lula Lemon is sort of like a lawn or Jane type situation. Oh thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:52 It's where you go to buy your $70 yoga pants before doing your yoga with Adrian videos. That is so true. You buy a $55 tank top that says don't talk to me until I've done Pilates. Full disclosure, I did a yoga with Adrian video the other day, and it was good. I can't do it. It's not for me. Well, my back hurt a whole bunch, and I was like, hey, this white lady got any back-related stuff. And there was a yoga for lower back pain.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And I did it. And then I was like, damn. Maybe this Adrian's on to something. But then we got to the end of the video. And she's like, now say, namas day. And I'll just slam my laptop close. I'm on board until she's like, feel present and set an intention for your day. And then then then I then I then I then 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 th th th. th. th. thus thus thus thus thus tham that. that. And then that, that, thi. tho, tham. tham. And I tham. And I'm tham. And I'm tham. And I'm tham. And I'm tham. And I'm tham. And I'm th. And I'm 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'm thi. And I'm thi. And I'm thi. And I'm thi. And thi. And thi. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And I'm thi. And I'm thi. And Ithen I say fuck off and I turn it off. We're just gonna we're just gonna give gratitude for I'm like no I will not.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I refuse. Notice my thoughts and no thank you. I'll just go for a walk thank you. Be mindful be mindful of these balls lady. Be at one with who? All right, Lorna Jane. In July 2020, Lorna Jane claimed that it's quote, antivirus active wear, which was sprayed with a substance called L.J. Shield. Yeah, yeah, most, most sweatpans are sprayed with a substance called L.J. Shield. Yeah, yeah. Most sweatpants are sprayed with a substance.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Liquified cheeto dust. They claimed that it eliminated and stopped the spread of COVID-19 and provided protection against viruses and pathogens, including COVID-19 when this was, shockingly, not the case. I remember when they came out with these, and just to reiterate, this is in July 2020, which that was 49 years ago. But yeah, like four months after it was a thing, and so they're research and development,
Starting point is 00:28:02 just super fast. They take it very seriously at Lawn and Jane. They found the cure immediately. They didn't give it to anybody else. They just sprayed it all over their pants. No, they found knowledge that could have saved humanity from unbelievable suffering and they gave it to none of the other scientists. No. They put it into yoga pants. Well you can't actually separate the sweat pant technology from the LJ shield technology.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Well, that's good though, because as I understand it, the vast majority of the spread of coronavirus is from the particles going into your pussy or butt hole. Yeah, just, Sammy. How else did they get in? Don't worry. You should be wearing a mask. It's like, well, all the relevant holes are covered. Don't you worry? You know you're on the boss and all those strangers just sneezing directly in your holes.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I'm safe. Hey, that's where I keep my eggs. The claims made over a wide range of media, including on Instagram, the website for dummies, on its website and in stores included LJ Shield, protecting you with antivirus active wear. Another tag line was cure for the spread of COVID-19. Lorna Jane thinks so. Oh, that's creative. No, I like that. I gotta hand it to him.
Starting point is 00:29:27 That's good, like that's a real Lionel Hut. The real Lionel Huts got a cure for spread of COVID-19. We thought we cured it, and you can't prove we didn't. It's the same deal as the chemist's warehouse. Is this the lowest prices in Australia? Cagline? Could? in Australia, Jackline. Couldn't say. Could be. Oh and the final one with Laura Jane, Lorna Jane Shield on our garments it meant that we were completely eliminating the possibility of spreading any deadly viruses. You can't say that.
Starting point is 00:29:57 You didn't give yourself any wiggle room with that one at all. Why would your leggings be giving you the coronavirus? Why would they be stopping the coronavirus? Oh, hey, hey, oh, well, I, I, I, oh, 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, th, th, th, th, 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, 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. thin, thin, thin, thin, th. thin, thin, thee is a thin, thin, thin, th. the is a thin, th. th. th. th. th. at all. Why would your leggings be giving you the coronavirus? Why would they be stopping the coronavirus? Whoa, hey, whoa, sorry, I think there's been a huge misapprehension there. This is also on singlets. Oh, all right. So it's leggings and shirts. Yes. All this. I mean, that's your tinn paws. Yeah, it makes sense, right? Yeah, I get it. I don't think you can say that. I don't think. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th th. I th th th th th th th th th th that. I th th th th that. I th th th th th th th th thi. I th thi. I don't th thi. I that. I thi. I th th th th th th that's 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 the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. Why thi. Why thi. Why thi. Why theeeeat. Why theat. Why thi. Why the. Why thi. I thi. I thi. I? Yeah, I get it. I don't think you can say that. I don't think you can say that. I don't think you can say that. That's certainly what the A-triple-C is alleging and we will find out when this court case is resolved.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Most of the claims were removed in mid-July, so... A week or two today, thiiiiiiiiii later to to to to they got on to that pretty quick. But until at least November 2020, Lorna Jane continued to represent on garment tags that the garment permanently protected the wearers against pathogens. It's like a magic item from Dungeons and Dragons. That's right. It's got a negative 5 coronavirus. Oh. Plus 5 to your coronavirus
Starting point is 00:31:06 avoidance rolls. Quote, it is particularly concerning that allegedly misleading claims that Lorna Jane's LJ Shield Act of Wear could eliminate the spread of COVID-19 were made at a time when there was a fear about a second wave emerging in Australia, especially in Victoria and all Australians were concerned about being exposed to the virus. Well, hang on a second. Yeah. So this was before the second wave and they put a stop to it. Oh and then the second wave happened? And the second wave happened. That's interesting. That is very interesting. Government rollout of Laura Jane pants now.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Imagine. All those people are like... Dictated Dan, you're showing us our Lawna Jane Yoga Pants. Slippery Dan Andrews is making it mandatory for people to wear Launa Jane leggings when they leave the house in Victoria. FEMA workers just rolling up the back of their truck, throwing out bundles of lawn and jane pants. Protesters are freaking out. My ass can't breathe in this thing. Tearing them off in the store. Sir, I need you to put your LJs on. Ma'am, I'm gonna need you to cover up your
Starting point is 00:32:23 pussy right now. It is my right to have my pussy all the way popping. The A-triple C also alleges that Lorne and Jane represented that there was a scientific or technological basis for these claims at the time they were made when no such testing had been carried out, shockingly. Like is this happening? I can't test enough enough enough that that that that the the the then then then then then then then then then the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. It was the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is thease the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the is the is the is the is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is the is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the. It is the the the the theateateateateateateateateateateateateateate theate the the theate the the the the the the basis for these claims at the time they were made when no such testing had been carried out, shockingly. Like this is something, I can't stress enough for like overseas listeners that this is not like a minor brand. They're like one of Australia's biggest activeware outlets by far. Like this is so high profile. This is not like some weird little fringe shop or whatever. This is a massive chain that just went like, oh yeah, yeah, it stops the spread of a deadly pandemic that's also claimed, already claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. No, we've not tested it. Yes, the clothes cost 60 bucks a pop. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:33:14 It's a, yeah, it's absolutely the sort of place that it just has a franchise in every large shopping center that you would go to. Yeah. Quote, we allege that the statements made by Lorna Jane gave the impression that the COVID-19 claims were based on scientific or technological evidence when this was not the case, Ms. Court said. We are particularly concerned about this because consumers often trust well-known brands and assume that their marketing claims are backed up by solid evidence. Although, really, if you were walking pasting thna Jane's door and you saw a big sign that said, these pants are a cure for the coronavirus and you went, great, let's get in there, get some for the whole family.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Yeah. I don't know what's going on. It is also alleged that Lorna Jane director and chief creative officer, Ms. Lorna Jane Clarkson, was knowingly concerned in the alleged conduct including by personally making false or misleading claims about the L.J. Shield anti-virus activeware in a media release and a video posted on Lornad Jane's Instagram account. This goes all the way to the top. I think it started and ended at the top. Yeah, sure did. I didn't realize that there was an actual Lorna Jane at Lawna Jane. Yeah, the E. Lorna Jane? You just thought that like these clothes came from nowhere? Yeah, I guess that
Starting point is 00:34:36 that must be what I meant. That must be what I meant. Sort of a wizard of Oz scenario. Oh no that's a thi. 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. the the the thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. too. too. toda. today. th. th. th. the. th. Oh no, that turned out to be one man. Yeah, no, that doesn't really. Sort of a Willie Wonka. So, oh, no, that's one guy, yeah. Sort of a, uh... Like Jigsaw, no. That's one guy. Yep. Sort of the phantom, no it's a series of guys. The Phantom of the Opera? No, that's one guy. It's one guy. It's one guy.
Starting point is 00:35:14 It's sort of like in North by North West where there's a name of a guy, but George Kaplan isn't really a guy, it's made up. Sort of like Fight Club. There's two guys. No, a guy it's made up. Sort of like Fight Club. There's two guys. No, no, it's one guy. Sorry, I didn't understand Fight Club. I got to the end and I thought the twist was, there's two guys. And then one guy disappeared.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Where do you go? Really get to be closure on that Brad Pitt character and he was the most compelling. It was like in the 2001 movie Don't Say a Word. Where Michael Douglas' daughter has been kidnapped and there's a whole bunch of people organizing a big conspiracy against him. Except that they fucked it up by adapting a book where in the book it was just one guy. You know? I don't know. It's like um... I haven't seen it. In the prestige where it turns out it's two guys and then it's one guy a couple hundred times. The A triple C is seeking declarations, penalties, injunctions, corrective notices and in order to implement
Starting point is 00:36:24 a compliance program. Geez, they're busy. Get them! Look, I'm gonna check each pair of these pants personally. I'm gonna be inspecting every camel tone. I'm gonna be all over it. Welcome to Buente Vista's Fremium Free Brewery. All month long we're giving you the disgusting public access to our premium patron-only episodes. That's right, not one but two episodes a week. And if you get hooked on your biweekly dose of a filthy drug called podcast, you can become a patron with access to our full catalog of over 300 episodes at Patreon.com slash Buntavista. You can quit anytime
Starting point is 00:37:02 you want. Podcasts sound addictive and we can't be held responsible. Everyone's a winner during Freemium Freebrewery. Well, if only Miss Lorna Jane Clarkson had sought the advice of another strong, powerful woman. That's right, she should have picked up the phone and dialed. Dr. Lucy. If you find that you are having a little relationship trouble, just to pick up your telephone and dial it on the double, you call one, eight hundred, three call one eight hundred three one seven five one
Starting point is 00:37:48 five now you're paging Dr. Lucy. Now, normally we seek Lucy's advice on letters from listeners, posts from the internet gutter Reddit, but we've been branching out a little bit, and I'm assuming this is Ben's idea, because nobody else would take responsibility for it before he got him. What's that me? Today we are looking to give advice to the denizens of the webbed site stack exchange. It's like the stock exchange. But for stacks. But for stacks.
Starting point is 00:38:33 So this is, anyone who's ever done any sort of programming or web development or any of that kind of work on the internet would be well familiar with Stack Overflow because 90% of the code they've ever written has been copied and pasted from it. But they have a bunch of sister websites. So anytime you look at it, like, say you want to find out how to find all of a certain kind of DOM element in using JavaScript, and you search for that and you get an answer for it and then it will give you a bunch of related questions except they're not really related,
Starting point is 00:39:11 they're all absolutely fucking insane. Some of them will be about fantasy world building, some of them will be about etiquette, and some of them are about inter-personal skills. Interesting. Interesting. So we have one from the interpersonal skills section here. Is it rude to use a driveway to turn around in the road? In Australia when I want to turn around in a street I sometimes use the driveway of private houses to turn in and then back out again and go in the reverse direction on the road. When I go in I don't go past the first of private houses to turn in and then back out again and go in the reverse direction on the road. When I go in I don't go past the first
Starting point is 00:39:49 five meters of the driveway where the footpath is or on the part of the driveway between the mailbox and the road. My UK non-driver passenger considers this rude. For Australian residents, for Australian residents, and also UK residents. They've helpfully done a diagram. Why have they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi that thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the. tho tho tho the tho tho tho th. When th. When th. When th. When th. When th. When th th th th th th th th th. When th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th th. I th th th th thi thi the go go the goe go the goe goe go goe go go go go go go go go go go go go go go the the UK residents. They've helpfully done a diagram. Why? Why have they made this? I know what a driveway. We can all picture the exact scenario in our heads. We do not need this picture. How many ways could this be playing out conceivably? Unless their diagram included them like driving into the house? Yeah. There's no extra information to be in the garage. I've been crashing into people's living rooms as part of very weird U-turns I've been doing.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Here's this phone. And Lucy, what is your take on this? I'm completely baffled by this question. Like, do people consider this rude in other countries? I would say that when you are the person turning around, it's completely reasonable. If you witness someone doing this, it's completely reasonable. However, if I'm standing in my kitchen and I'm looking out by like screen windows and someone pulls into my driveway, and my eyes just like narrow and then you see the reverse light go on and you go
Starting point is 00:41:06 motherfucker you get out of that driveway. I was going to say more or less exactly that that like it's perfectly acceptable I do it all the time and you should do it because you need to be able to turn around but also if it happens at the property where you currently are it is your God-given right to stare the fuck out of them. You should down. What's all 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho's tho's tho's all tho that thi tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. th. You th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the iven right to stare at the fuck out of them. You should. What's all this then? What are you doing? Why are you pulling in here?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Oh, you're just turning around? Good. Go on, get out of here. I've never identified more with a dog than when this happens. Like somebody starts pulling when this happens. Like somebody starts pulling into the driveway and there's a very distinct commotion in your brain that if it was out loud it would probably sound a lot like. Until they are gone and then you go, who, who, who, who, who, oh, and you just go back about your business, you know?
Starting point is 00:42:02 You go back to lying down on the couch or whatever you're doing. So that one's pretty clear cut, I think. It's absolutely fine, it's totally normal, but also if I'm there when it's happening and it's in my driveway, don't! Don't! How about this one? Again, from the ominous interpernal skills section, is another person's private object within your own personal boundary?
Starting point is 00:42:30 What? Pardon? Excuse me? Oh, don't worry. Oh, don't worry. They've got a good eight paragraphs to explain what the fuck they mean here. My girlfriend and I have been together for six months. Breakup. Here we go. Early one morning after a conversation we'd had the previous night, she calls me to ask if I own
Starting point is 00:42:56 a very private object. Mm-hmm. Go on. It's already. It's a fleshline. Okay, it's a fleshline, right? That sounds right. It sounds like it's a fleshlight. Go on. It's already... It's a fleshline. Okay, it's a flesh line, right? That sounds right. Sounds like it's a fleshlight. Go on. She has found my cellmate chastity cage. Not wanting to lie, I answered affirmatively. It is securely tucked away and there's no way anyone could accidentally find it, let alone see it. I myself have not looked at it since before the relationship began, why, but knowing I have it gives me a sense of comfort. Weird.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Weird. When I find myself in times of trouble. Yes, I'm being deliberately vague about, quote, the object. So as to deal with a specific technical question rather than any opinions over the object itself. I kind of feel like he's trying to game the system a bit here. But if it helps, think of it like it's a nude painting of a dead relative by a famous painter or something like that.
Starting point is 00:44:02 What? You know that common object we all have around the house? It's a nude painting of a dead relative by a famous painter. So just imagine that a... Or something like that. It's a Rembrandt of my uncle's butthole. Maybe it's not a flashlight. That's a really strange thing to say. Just like say it's a nude painting of my uncle. You know? I love the idea of like I can see that you're very tantalized by what the object is, but just imagine that it's an incredibly tantalizing object. It could be a knife block given to me by an X as another
Starting point is 00:44:46 example. What the fuck? What? It's such a esoteric examples. Is it a knife book that can your X gave you? You can have opinions about it but this specific question is a technical question about boundaries and not about the object itself. I already hate you and you're wrong. I can I can tell you this right now. I almost guarantee his girlfriend disagrees about his definitions here. She explains that she feels quote betrayed by me having this object. That it is a violation of her personal boundaries and that she demands I destroy it immediately.
Starting point is 00:45:28 I'm sick of looking at your uncle's pocket butt hole. Don't care how talented Rembrandt is. My goodness. She asks why I have it, and again not wanting to lie, I explain that it gives me comfort. It's definitely the butt-hop I'm doing for sure. So fucked up. I haven't looked at it, but I've committed it to memory, and every time I think about it. Ah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 She uses that explanation to suggest I'm emotionally attached to the object, which you've just said you are, and attempts to place herself and the object on the same the same the same the same the same the same to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the object on to to to to the object on to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to being topiolpiolpiolpiolpiolpiating the buiding forbiting the buiding forbiting the buiding forbiting to being to being to to to to to to to to to being to to to to to to to suggest I'm emotionally attached to the object which you've just said you are and attempts to place herself and the object on the same exclusionary scale the object is more important to me than her and I can be with her I can have the object but not both I know myself that I would never place her and the object on a scale but she has continued to insist that it's part of her personal boundary that I not have it. So before I go on, so let's spitball here for a second. I am assuming that it is a something that belonged to or was given to him by or signifies strongly some element of an ex. Yes. You know how you can get those sex toys that are molded off the
Starting point is 00:46:52 genitalia of a loved one? It's a fleshlight of his exes vagin. He got one of those thoes of soap modeled after Grimes's vagina? Do you guys remember that? I just had a great business idea. You know how? How am I going to search for this? You know how when a loved one dies and like, you can have them cremated and either like, have a, have a tree potted in the soil or you can like, like, have, have, have the, have the, have, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, have the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, thri, the thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thr have a tree potted in the soil or you can like have the ashes compressed into like a fucking diamond. So it's that but it's a butt plug. Yeah. No it's it's it's that it's that but you mix the ashes through like the silicone that you have poured into the fleshlight mold and also the fleshlight is molded from the loved ones pussy. Yep. A million dollar idea. Yeah. Granted a pretty small market. You... So this is a real logic guy. It is a
Starting point is 00:47:57 hardcore logic guy. I'm really, I'm just angry reading all of this. He's... Girlfriends love it when you turn your personal relationship difficulties into debate club. Ah, but nevertheless. Putting aside your straw man argument that it's a picture of my uncle's butt hole. Yep. Schomsky said of the pocket pussy. But yeah, like it, like, I am assuming that it's something sexual because... Like, what's the middle ground between the two examples that he has provided? A nude painting of a dead relative.
Starting point is 00:48:35 A nice-gun that when you fire it, a little flag comes out and unravels and it's got goatsie on it. In which case he's right to be manned. And it's signed. Haven't haven't looked at it since our relationship started. I haven't I haven't needed to pop that bad boy off since we've got together. I don't need that since I met you. I'm like I'm just trying to imagine an object. Granted like my I think you know one of my issues is that I'm just not I'm not very very very very very very very th. I'm not very very very th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm 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 thin, I'm not. I'm not. I'm 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the to the to to the to the the the to the the the the the the the the th you know one of my issues is that I'm just not I'm not Very sentimental about anything Like about objects possessions and stuff like that. I'm trying to imagine an object
Starting point is 00:49:17 That my wife could say? This is a huge problem for me if you don't get this fucking thing out of the house and I wouldn't be like I got to take this to stack exchange I'm not willing to just do away with this. What could it be? Well given given the rest of the conversation that he says on here I just okay let me keep the guy's definitely in the wrong. Conversely I liken her asking me about it as being an invasion on my personal privacy. Oh, he cares about batteries all of a sudden. Hang on, I'm so sorry. I don't want to interrupt you here, but I do have a few more little... I got some bread crumbs here about the object. Okay, well, do you want to hold on to them until we get to the end of the post the post the post the post the post the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the post, the, the, the, the,them until we we get to the end of the post and then we can continue the speculation? Sure, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Okay, I feel invaded that she asked about it and upset that she is prioritizing her feelings and ignoring mine. After somewhat weeks of this argument and the relationship degrading significantly she eventually acknowledged that asking about it was an invasion of my privacy, but she still demands that me owning it violates her personal boundaries nonetheless. She says, I'm not taking responsibility for her feelings. This guy sounds so German. This guy sounds the worst.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Reading about emotional boundaries, I come across two categories about emotional, about personal boundary violations. So he's doing fucking research for debate club about this. There is taking responsibility for another's feelings and sacrificing your own needs to please another. I have never heard of any personal boundary extending into another person's space, particularly such a private space.
Starting point is 00:51:00 We are not living together. I understood boundaries to be mutually exclusive and, in most cases, active in some way. In other words, I'd have to do something, even if it's verbal, to cross a personal boundary, or at the very least have it exposed, like putting it on the mantelpiece or showing it to her in some way. It feels like an overreach. I think if you find like a six-foot-tall rubber-f fuck doll or something in your boyfriend's house and you're just like I am extremely creeped out and this needs to go I don't think he'd just get to be like what were you doing looking in my cupboard that's
Starting point is 00:51:36 that's equally upsetting that's where I hold my secrets it's really doing some work here don't look in my chest of mysteries. Uh, suggesting that they can be passive and inactive, that by merely owning something I'm related to them, I could be violating someone's personal space makes me very uncomfortable. It would also seem to create huge conflict-filled overlaps in emotional responsibility. I hate this man.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Well, he's working so fucking hard to like Just debate club just well Like specifically she clearly she has said at the beginning of all of this a month ago Oh, this is like I feel like you having this thing is is crossing boundaries and it's bad thing for me personal spacewise or whatever and he is like psychotically latched onto that specific Use of words that specific turn of phrase sounds healthy Well, Oxford Dictionary defines personal space as when obviously what she's saying is just like this makes me deeply uncomfortable to be in the same space as this thing I want to say it's a new type of guy but this is just thi. I want to say it's a new type. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. I that's like. I that's like. I that's like. I that's like. I that's like. I that's like. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the the the the the the the the the 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. I'm. I'm the the thi. I'm the the thi. I'm this makes me deeply uncomfortable to be in the
Starting point is 00:52:45 same space as this thing. I want to say it's a new type of guy, but this is just an old type of guy. It's just a guy. It's just a classic guy. She says that the action is me gaining the object before we got together. So therefore I was already violating her personal boundary when we got together without her knowledge knowledge Shut the fuck up. I have attempted to resolve this by suggesting I move the object out of my house but that is not acceptable to her in the longer term. It may just be just that me not owning this object is a deal breaker, but I don't think that's quite what she means. There's something broader about boundaries she's
Starting point is 00:53:23 trying to allude to, which from the arguments we've had are not understanding fully. Are my own belongings really a part of someone else's boundaries in a relationship? Yes, of course they are, you fucking idiot. Of course they are. Like, you take your date home and there's like the fucking Dildo bicycle from like burn after reading in the middle of the lounge room? This is exactly what it was. I was just waiting for the chance. Oh, why are you acting so weird about it? That's my property. Like your possessions and the things that you choose to hold on to, they say something
Starting point is 00:54:00 about you. Mm-hmm. Like especially if, as seems to be the indication here, there is some significant element of like, like, like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like the like the like the like the like the like the like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like like, I was like, I was 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 the the the the the the the the the the like the like the like the like the like the like the th. I was like was like th. thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, like thi, like was like thi, I was like was like the the the, as seems to be the indication here, there is some significant element of like intimacy about this to him. He seems to be through his own little hints, giving that it is either sexual in nature or something that was given to him by or belonged to an ex or a combination of those things and then acting like, oh well that one's my property, you don't own it, so why are you being weird about it is just absolutely fucking ridiculous. Give us the question. So you found my snowtown barrel. Well, what were you doing looking for the snowtown barrel in the first place?
Starting point is 00:54:40 Second of all, that barrel's been there for well, well, before I knew you, so I'm not just simply getting rid of my Snowtown barrel. I haven't cracked it open to breathe deeply of the fumes since we got together. Why you are so weird? Not at all. All I have to do is think about it, gives me comfort. Okay. Ben, please, bread crumb us. So someone in the comments to his question has th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are th, are th, are th, th, th, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, to th, th, th, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi on the barrel. Bread crummers. Please breadcrumbers.
Starting point is 00:55:05 So someone in the comments to his question has been like, are you owning something illegal? I could easily have this reaction myself if my boyfriend admitted he had something of this kind, knowing that it would endanger me. But we can't really explain what could be violated if we don't please provide on what grounds or what type of argument she explains that makes her feel ill at ease. And then this person, the original poster, has replied,
Starting point is 00:55:29 no, there is nothing illegal or physically dangerous about this object. In fact, my family has a history of owning them, which I grew up with as a child, so to me it seems normal, hence the comfort. It's a gollywog, isn't it? It's got to be racist, right. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, 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, th. And th. And th. And th. And th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And 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 a gollywog, isn't it? It's a racist. It's gotta be racist, right? Yeah, I'm thinking that now. Maybe it's not a sex thing. It's a racist reprant of his uncle's butt-hole. It's a taxidermied Irishman. It's a full-sized gollywog real doll and his girlfriend is a person of color.
Starting point is 00:56:06 So if I, okay, so my grandfather had the fuck chair from burn after reading. Now if he replaced the legs and my father replaced the slats and I put a shiny new floppy doodle on. Is this still my grandfather's fuck chair? But, okay, so say that you kept the slats and the old dildo and the old legs and you put them together. The fuck chair of Theseus. Are there, are there any other hints been? No, sorry, when I said breadcrumbs, it was a breadcrumb.
Starting point is 00:56:48 There's the one. The one which was like, my family owned them growing up. It's so fucking weird. Is it slaves? Do you have a slave? I'm sorry, there's one more thing here where... Someone has been like, I don't quite understand the properties of the object. The famous painter example, maybe that it is extremely valuable, but what does nudity have to do with it?
Starting point is 00:57:16 For the knife example, that is from someone you had feelings for, but how do these fit together? And then he has replied, that's the point. It's not the qualities of the object I'm focusing on. It's the idea that her personal boundaries would extend to my space that seems unfathomable. The nude painting example could trigger something in someone who's conservative, the knife block could be an emotional attachment to a previous relationship. I'm not so much concerned about this particular argument as much as how far it can be used in the relationship as a way of her exercising her feelings and beliefs over me in the context of responsibility. It's racist, like it's a gollywalk. It sure is. Also regardless, please dumb this man. He's a horrible, horrible human being.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Well, imagine like anybody that you are with who is going to this extent of prolonging an argument for weeks and weeks and weeks. Weeks of argument about this thing. Yikes. Just prolonging this argument for weeks and weeks and weeks and taking it to the internet, researching different definitions of like personal space and boundaries and shit like that, all so that he can find ways to redefine the issue according to his own terms rather than just actually accepting you saying this thing is upsetting to me. That's the kind of man
Starting point is 00:58:38 you need. Big yikes. Capital yikes from us over here at Punta Vista. Dump this psycho before it's you who goes into the Snowtown Barrel. My goodness. Well, you think we've got time for one more little bit then? I reckon we can fit this next one in real quick. Well, you know folks, uh... We already have one kind of scam that we're looking into. There's another kind of scam. It's called being from the Netherlands. We don't appreciate it. We're keeping an eye on you, people.
Starting point is 00:59:24 We're doing our absolute best to put a stop to the things happening in Dutchwatch. Sickos, eating their chocolate and doing their weed, riding their bicycles. Every time we mention in like a description of an episode on Twitter that we're talking about the Netherlands, somebody else will pop up that's a regular lister that's like, oh I'm Dutch. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. A new one every time.
Starting point is 00:59:57 They love it. They love it. They love to finally have a big country talking about them. Oh, remember how we we got th th th th they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they they are they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to to to to to to to th to tho tho tho to tho to tho to tho. tho. the tho. the that that that that that they they a big country talking about them. Oh, remember how we got fucking curb stomped by Facebook today? That was pretty cool. We're like... We're like... Personally, the nation of Australia said, hey, it's time to take Facebook to task. And they said, what if you just don't have Facebook anymore? Shut up. What the fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:25 What are you going to do? Take our news articles away? Yes. We're just leaving the conspiracy stuff up. Have fun. Very cool. Well, this is from the one. The only.
Starting point is 01:00:41 The single website that Ben will look out for news from the Netherlands, it is Dutch News.NL. The Dutch Waterboard Bank. Come on, what? Come on. What the fuck you're talking about? Am I looking at a different racist Dutch article in the list? Yeah, there's a few in there.
Starting point is 01:01:06 There are two in there, yeah. Oh. One for later, one for next week. One for a little trait for next week. The Dutch Water Board Bank has been conned out of 12 million euro, that is 18.7 million Australian dollars, by one or more people posing as the local authority representative and has made a formal complaint to the is 18.7 million Australian dollars. By one or more people posing as the local authority representative and has made a formal complaint to the public prosecution department about the swindle. I've been swindled.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Oh no, I'm missing 12 million dollars. Oopsy, whoopsy. The NWB says in a press release that quote false documents were used to obtain payments but that the amount involved is quote not enough to damage the bank's material position. Now if you want it 12 million euro don't worry about it. If you're only where NWP came from, NWB, it is Netherlands, Watershops Bank. Beautiful language. Especially the way we do it.
Starting point is 01:02:10 According to local paper, Bn de Stemm, the perpetrator posed as a representative of Steenbergen local council in New de Brabant to apply for the loan, which was granted and paid out. Well, you are wearing a hat, sir, have 12 million euro. What does it take to swindle? We came from Steenberger, it's a reclaimed island. Oh yes, that sounds very, mmm, that's very real. The former island of... Yeah. Fuckeen, I'm just trying to think of like all my friends that have tried to get small business loads
Starting point is 01:02:50 that have been like, oh, your husband only works part-time? No, I'm afraid we can't give you $5,000. These guys are just like, well, I didn't really read your documents, but here's 12 million euro. Do you have all the paper vork? Officials only realize they had been conned in mid-January when the first payment demand arrived at the council officers. We are really shocked. May Rudd de Vandenbelt told the paper. Sure that's your name.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Ruud Vandenbelt, told the paper. And the weird thing is, we don't do any business with the bank. It is all very odd. Local councillors are now calling on officials to be completely open about what has happened. For someone from the council involved? Did our digital security fail, or is it purely made for the bank? VVD councillis Gomorrin said, come on now. The NWB bank itself said it is not making any further
Starting point is 01:03:52 statements in the interest of the investigation and also I assume they don't want to reveal the very easy way to get 12 million euros in the bank. The gaping security flaw they have which is apply for a loan and you will get it. So one trick the waterboard bank doesn't want you to know you to know you to know you to know you to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know the the the to know 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. Come. Come. Come their. Come. Come. Come. Come. their. Come. Come. Come. the the the the 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 te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. their. tell. the bank. The gaping security floor they have which is apply for a loan and you will get it. So one trick the waterboard bank doesn't want you to know. Oh financial advisors hate him. The bank was founded in 1954 to provide finance for local waterboards. I see where the confusion's come in. I see. Yes. It continues to serve the public sector. Well, this is a great scam. Like if you did a $1 million dollar, can I have some money? Like it's fucking wild. Like a $12 million bank heist would be fucking insane. But just like feeling in some forms of being like, I am a local council, can I have $12 million euro? And they're just being like, of course, and then you just disappear.
Starting point is 01:04:49 It's the perfect crime. You go out the back of the loan officer and you would say, well he wouldn't say he was if he wasn't. Who would pretend to be a local council? Who? Whom among us? It's so good. It's so good. We'll pretend to be a local councilman when they were not. It's because the Dutch don't have enough shame to lie about things.
Starting point is 01:05:10 And like so confronted with a liar, they're completely defenseless. Oh, it's sort of a like the invention of lying type scenario. Uh, so... So maybe the invention of lying. Ricky Javets. Starring notorious, atheist. Rikijews. Rikijs.
Starting point is 01:05:31 It's more of a sully type scenario. Oh, the plane. I don't think that it is. You guys have just been, you've been saying names and movies and I just wanted to feel involved. So the one movie you can think it was the one that's about a plane guy. It was kind of like Sully or the Terminal. Lucy are you going to go and see the new Top Gun movie when it comes out? I'm gonna say I'm not a big Top Gun fan.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I don't love Top Gun. What if it was about a guy who is really good at commercial aviation? More of a bottom gun. Yeah, I'd love just a medium gun. A switch gun. Well, hear me out. Hear me out. You know how Tom Cruise is a real psycho for stunts now? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Well, the whole thing with the Top Gun stuff was, I don't, I assume he doesn't actually care about making a sequel to Top Gun, but he does really like flying in planes and finding fun new ways to film the flying of planes. Yes, it will probably be very cool. From the inside and all around and all that sort of thing. So they've got like a few trailers with the making of kind of stuff. And it made me go, I think of the fuck about Top Gunn, but I'll probably watch that. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. 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, I thi. thi. thi, I thi, I thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Starting point is 01:06:55 Premium Freeberi. Yeah. So, if this is a premium episode that you are enjoying for the grand price of nothing, you're welcome. That's it. We love you. We're kissing you all, mainly on the cheeks. Theo's doing a few cheeky ones on the mouth. Get out of. Oh, Theo, come down. Payne dust only. And we'll see you guys next week. Bye. Bye. Thanks.
