Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, it's me, Ben, from the podcast, Punta Vista. This is the last episode that we're unlocking for our little break period because we'll be back with our free episodes next weekend. This was a tough choice. You know, we only have to unlock the two bonus episodes. We have to pick our two favorites. You already got that one last week. This one that you're about here, I didn't want to unlock originally,
Starting point is 00:00:28 but I got outvoted. I think it's a really good, really fun episode. What, you know, it was fun for us to make. I didn't want to unlock it because it made someone so mad that they unsubscribe from our Patreon and told us it was because we are pro-Nazi, apparently. We're not, for the record. I hope you get to the third story in this three-part episode and don't come away with that conclusion. just, you know, be cool.
Starting point is 00:01:01 You know, the world is complicated. Just take it in the spirit in which it's given. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year's looking forward to being back in a week. We are the next bonus episode. The first one for the year is coming out three days. So, you know, if you subscribed, you'd be getting it even sooner. But, you know, do it ever feels right. Talk to you soon.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Bye. Hello, we just like, hey guys, what are you being like, hey guys, what are you being, what are you going to watch? Oh, oh? Hello, hello, welcome to Bundavisa episode, uh, 420 bonus episode, whatever. I'm Theo, and I'm here at the Central Democrat Ratfuck meeting 2025 on the eve of Mamdami's historic victory in New York. Now, so it's before the victory happened? After. After?
Starting point is 00:02:16 It's not traditionally. It's after. This is the post-Eve. This is post-Eve. Eve was in both directions. Yeah. One night removed in either way is the Eve. Christmas Eve.
Starting point is 00:02:27 is Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. Yeah. It's like an Aloha situation. It's an Aloha situation, correct. Are you guys done? Yes. I'm here, as always,
Starting point is 00:02:44 with my senior associate rapfucker, Ben. Ben, it's hard to make what to, it's hard to know what to make of all of this, right? I mean, we don't want to learn anything. I rat-fucked as hard as I cooked. We did, yeah. I've been rat-fucking my little rat-dick off for a calendar year.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And still our guy won. So what the fuck? And we didn't want him to. We didn't want him to. We didn't want to learn anything or do anything or have to change anything in like anything that we do. He's left-leaning. He's not white. He's Muslim.
Starting point is 00:03:20 He's very attractive. Yeah. We didn't want... Attractive wife. We don't have to. We don't have to. He's got everything. He's got everything.
Starting point is 00:03:26 All right. Yeah. But we don't want that anywhere near, what do you call New York's White House? Is that Gracie Mansion? Yes. Do they get a mansion over there? Yes. I think they get a mansion.
Starting point is 00:03:38 They get a mansion? We don't want that in Gracie Mansion. We want an ugly guy. Like a really weird, sweaty, nervous sex criminal. And for him to be a Democrat. Gracie Mansion looks kind of shitty just for the record. Does it? Is it brownstone?
Starting point is 00:03:53 I'm just saying New York stuff. You're just saying, have a bodega? Yeah, it's got the base. dagger in it. Well, now it does, obviously. Only we had a word for convenience store. Oh, well. And you heard from Lucy there, our senior associate vice principal of rat fucking, whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I fuck so many rats this year. Yeah. It's your year of fucking rats. Yes. But you're rat fucking your own dick? What? No, I use my rat dick to rat fuck. Oh, you've got a rat.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Positive prop, is he. Okay. Yep. Now, obviously he's out there, like, saying he's going to change stuff. And I'm pretty certain that I can't stand. Not an hour watch. Loading my gun. How did we lose the Italians?
Starting point is 00:04:41 What do we, because the only, like, district that he didn't get, like, a crazy majority in was, like, Coney Island, right? St. Long Island. Long Island. Long Island. Just the rides. Very different places. The people live on Coney Island.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I believe that people live on Coney Island. He only lost in fire island. Yeah. I don't think the mole people who live under Coney Island are a huge voting block. He only lost in Lunar Park. I just realized that if I try and picture Coney Island, I literally picture one roller coaster on a peninsula and nothing else. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:18 It is literally just that, like, bit that chucks out from the GTA format. It's just like Lunar Park, right? Or is it a place? Apparently there's other stuff as well. I think there's a neighborhood. I mean, we don't care. We don't care, right? Because we don't sort of care about what people do or live.
Starting point is 00:05:35 We're the Democrats Party. And also finally, with us is Vice Understudy, super rat fuck, Andrew. Hey, buddy. He's bad at rat fucking. He's bad at rat fucking, but he's studying from us. He's understating. He's eager to learn. What do you think of an understudy?
Starting point is 00:05:54 Top of my class in watching someone else fuck a rat. Well, no, you've been waiting for your day to fuck a rat, but one of us has to call in sick. I've been backstage miming fucking a rat. One day, it'll be my time. One of us is going to throw an ACL. Yeah, the star has fallen down a set of stairs at Shay Montresor. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And you've got word that someone's going to be, someone's going to interview Pelosi and say, hey, what do you think about this spectacular victory in New York City? And you've got to feed her like the stupidest fucking thing to reply with. That's going to be good.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I haven't seen any of those, but when they ask prominent Democrats whether they think it's good that he won, that's probably going to be very satisfied. Yeah, whether their guy won versus the guy who's like specifically backed by Trump. Hey, was it
Starting point is 00:06:50 was it this morning that we found at the dick he died? Oh yeah, hell yeah. That was one day. What a fucking day? And now obviously, all of us,
Starting point is 00:07:00 you know. Yeah, all of us at the, uh, the damn rat fucking, uh, working, working group,
Starting point is 00:07:08 steering group, we're sad about that. We're sad about. Yeah. A little moment of silence for a war criminal dick Cheney. We're all wearing our black suits for New York and the Cheney family.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Yeah. I mean, if you're not Gen X or Gen. Whatever it is, we are, what are we? I mean, Gen Y.
Starting point is 00:07:24 We don't really say that. We call them Millennials. Millennials, millennials. Millennials. It's hard for us, I think, to think of someone more responsible as architect of like the way things are today in our own lifetimes as we kind of had to watch this sort of just unfold in front of us and go, hey, fuck, that ain't no good. Apart from maybe Donald Grumsfeld, right, who, you know, they're both getting pissed on underneath now. God, that feels good. It doesn't help.
Starting point is 00:07:54 It doesn't restore anything, but it does feel nice. I think we could do like a quick sort of a trend watch kind of thing, like one in and one out, you know. Ian, Mamdani, out. Dick Cheney alive. And he's out permanently because he fucking died. Because he's dead. He's not coming back.
Starting point is 00:08:13 His corpse is rotting. He's dead. And find of that guy that he shot in the face can say, hey, you know what? On reflection, I didn't really enjoy that. and I don't think that should have happened to me Oh, that'd be good Like now that he's dead Let me clear the air
Starting point is 00:08:26 When I got shot at the face It was bad Yeah And I didn't want to speak up at the time But it was only because of his sort of like The fact that he kind of controlled You know America
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah When he came over to check on me He was flanked by two secret service agents Both with their hands Just on the handle of their gun Yeah Are you okay or is this going to be a problem? We're going to have to
Starting point is 00:08:51 to put him down. Yeah, just a blackwater van parked in front of his house for like six weeks. It would have been easier to just kill the guy. So I guess he maybe did generously choose to let him live and make him apologize. He was just expressing his power to be like, you know what, I can fucking shoot you in the face all I like. Nothing's going to happen. That's that Trump quote saying he could shoot. Yeah, Tony walked so Donald Trump could run.
Starting point is 00:09:17 But hey, we're not here to talk about America. We're here to talk about other stuff in our segments, including this one, America Watch. It's time for America Watch. Hey, Ben, if you're trying to picture Coney Island in the future, just picture the climax of the Walter Hill film The Warriors. Okay. Yeah. They're trying to get back to Coney Island? Well, yeah, they get to Coney Island at the end.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah, and they're on the beach. That guy's clinking his bottles. Yeah. Demanding that they come out and play. But it's not just the theme park where the Warriors are. No, they live there as well. I think. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:10:08 They both live and play there. It's a combination, hundreds of years old amusement park and Jersey Shore style situation. Someone's getting so angry at it. Not including the situation, right? You've got the impulse right now to be like, actually, kind of... Yeah, tell us who lives at Lunar Park? How many people live at Lunar Park? If we really want to know something, we'll just look it up.
Starting point is 00:10:32 With a spike on Google of Americans. I was actually reading the Wikipedia article for Coney Island probably like several days ago. See, he's already learned. We have a sort of a proud... Whatever it is. Willful ignorance of things. What's the name of the guys doing the bottles? He's got three names.
Starting point is 00:10:46 David, someone, someone. It's not David. Hyde Pierce. No, it's not David Hydez. He's a classic. The guy from Twin Peaks. He's not Breck and Meyer, but he does look like Breckenmeier. He looks like Breckenmeier quality.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yeah, he's the guy from Twin Peaks. Do you guys ever play the Warriors PlayStation 2 games? It was so fucking good. Bangar. It was a rock star game, right? It was a rock star game. Lucy, did you ever play it with another person? Yeah, me and my older brother used to play it.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Me and my older brother used to play. Classic playing video games. with your older brother, Gurley. Yeah, it explains so much, right? It's crazy. He used to play Diablo, too, together. Yeah. And she's single, fellas.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Leave her alone. The Warriors were sick, though, because if you were both playing it, like, couch co-op style, you could do, like, combo moves to the dudes you were beaten up. One guy holds him in a headlock and the other person could do something to him, hit him with a pipe wrench, you know? Oh, great game. Slam. Let me give you three words.
Starting point is 00:11:46 David, Patrick. Patrick. Three names. DPK! Oh! Oh, DPK? He always loved to see him in something, you know? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I was watching, again, the Walter Hill film Last Man Standing, Bruce Willis, remake of, what, your jimbo? Oh. Is it your jimbo? Is that the one where he comes to a town and plays two rival forces off against each other? Yes, which is also a remake itself, no, an adaptation itself of the Dashil Hammett novel Red Harvest, I want to say. Correct me if I'm right. That sounds right. Anyway, David Patrick Kelly is in there as an Irish mob boss. Oh, and he's such a dick. He's such a rat fuck
Starting point is 00:12:29 dick. He plays it so well. Go on to the article for Yo Jimbo searching out Red Harvest. Oh, and parts of also the Glass Key, which also, as we all know, Miller's Crossing the Cohen Brothers movie is an adaptation, if not a loving homage of the Glass Key and Red Harvest. From WHTM, Pennsylvania man allegedly left threatening voice message over Holocaust float. Huh? Huh. I have chosen... Yeah. I've chosen some somewhat difficult stories because this is a bonus episode, right? We're in a place of trust. We can trust each other. We can discuss things. rationally and intelligently, you know, you, the listener, can know that we're coming in
Starting point is 00:13:18 with good intentions and we're going to keep it light. Even though the terrain may be bumpy. We're getting pull up. Yeah. I'm saying, oh, well, my hands are on the yoke. Maybe, yeah, we got it. And they're going in the right direction. I'm getting terrain.
Starting point is 00:13:31 We're saying to worry about it. Forward. Hey, picture this. We're in one of those, like, cargo planes where there's two yokes, you know, the pilot, co-pilot. Oh, we're sharing the yoke. I have the controls. Well, hold on. Lucy's a line.
Starting point is 00:13:43 this fridge, I have the controls. Lucy's at one, Ben's at the other. Just as confidently as again, I have the controls. I have the controls. I have the controls. My and Theo hands over your hands
Starting point is 00:13:52 and then all four of us are pulling up at the same time. You know? Perfectly controlled. Back towards us to go up? Back towards, yes. We need to get you a flight simulator band. What if you're a married couple
Starting point is 00:14:06 and you were both flying a plane and it was a double yoker and every time you were sort of got annoyed at each other? You just said, I have the controls, even though the other person is still flying. I have the controls. I have the controls. Oh, that's really interesting, because I have the controls.
Starting point is 00:14:22 When you think about it, I have the controls. I have the controls. I have the controls. You know, you were telling me about Debbie from work. Well, I have the controls. I have the controls. That's interesting because I asked for the fish, and they've given me the chicken. I have the controls.
Starting point is 00:14:40 A Pennsylvania man allegedly left a threatening voice message. with the Catholic school that had a parade float that depicted Holocaust symbolism, please say. Okay. You guys might have seen the original story that is being referenced here. Maybe did you guys see this? This is like a tribute to another story.
Starting point is 00:14:58 This is not the greatest news article in the world. I really feel like the state of the Holocaust float is going to influence how I feel about this. Yeah, because it could be. Anti or pro. It could be all kinds of... What are you talking about? It could be anti and very poorly executed.
Starting point is 00:15:21 That's true. There's all kinds of ways this could go. It could be pro and very convincing. You guys ever... And this is only for Australian people over the age of 33-ish. You guys ever watched John Safran's music jamboree? Yes. There was an episode where he was talking about how a school
Starting point is 00:15:43 did a dance to Michael Jackson's They don't really care about us Is that what the song's called? Yeah, yeah And that's got some Some anti-Semitic terms in it Well, so they did a dance to it
Starting point is 00:15:57 Depicting people in the uniforms of people in Holocaust-era concentration camps And then he got his dad Who is a Holocaust scholar To break down the accuracy of the dance Oh my God Yeah, good stuff Cool.
Starting point is 00:16:14 So some things you don't have to dance about. Yeah. That's my feeling. Maybe if I was a dancer, I would think all things could be danced about. If I was a comedian, maybe I'd think all things could be joked about. Maybe if you're a podcaster, you would think that everything can be talked about. I believe all things could be attended about responsibly. That's my belief.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Charging documents filed by Penn Township Police show that Joseph Galeo II of Bucks County faces charges for calling and leaving a message where he allegedly said about turning St. Catholic's Catholic school into a concentration camp. I'm sorry, leaving a message where he allegedly said about? He allegedly said about. A replica of an Auschwitz concentration camp gate with the phrase Arbite marked fry, which is translated to work sets you free, was on a float from the school in the Hanover Halloween parade on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Don't make it. Auschwitz gate? Yeah, I'm just going to go out on a lim and see you might not, you shouldn't be doing that. Sorry, Lucy, just to clarify, are you asking the person not to cause an incident called Auschwitzgate or to not make an Auschwitz gate? I mean, both. Both. I don't think you should be there doing your crafting, making the fucking Auschwitz gate. It's not ideal.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't know. No. So just to give you guys some context, I've got a bit here from a Guardian article about the original incident. in apologising for the fiasco Galen Shelley so this is the creator of the float told Penn Live that a lighted archway and lanterns he ordered
Starting point is 00:17:50 to decorate a parade float he was building for Hanover's St. Joseph's school did not arrive in time so he searched the internet for images of cemetery gates to represent the idea that none of us get out of this life alive what he found and replicated was a photograph of the gates from the Second World War Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Christ. Okay, so Googleed spooky gates. Yeah. Sad, sad, scary gate. Like, this has taken a real turn from, all right, we started off with Holocaust float. Okay, that implies a deliberate theme. I'm not accusing you of writing these headlines, Ben. I'm just saying, if we work our way from the top down, we get from a holocaust.
Starting point is 00:18:34 There would be a disastrous misunderstanding of the process. Holocaust float It turns out Ben's been writing all of these this whole time We're starting with Holocaust float That demonstrates like that says intent to me Then we got to float that depicted Holocaust symbolism Wait they just found a picture of a gate
Starting point is 00:18:54 And it was the Auschwitz gate And then he's like great I will paper mashet Some gates that have some spooky German Was it just the gate Or were there other things that he included that also like... No, it's the rest of it was like a graveyard
Starting point is 00:19:08 with like ghosts. There's 12 year olds with sheets on them with eye holes cut out. He was making the monster mash. He was making a spooky float and the problem is that his Pinterest photo on his board for the float for the scary gates at the front
Starting point is 00:19:24 happened to be the gates of outreach. The worst gates you could pick. The most recognized gates potentially on the face of the planet apart from maybe some habits. Harry potable shit, I don't know. And also there is a big inscription over the gate in German. In German.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, that if you put those words just into Google, yeah, just Google the words, maybe some additional context. Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you just saw a translation and you're like, oh, I don't know. I guess that is kind of spooky. And then you didn't think about it. Yeah. The story continues.
Starting point is 00:19:59 St. Joseph's Church's pastor, notified police Saturday about the principal receiving an alleged threatening message regarding the float the criminal complaint shows. Police said in the criminal complaint that this is the alleged threatening message that was left. Now, I just want to keep us in the context that we're talking about. So someone saw a very poor taste Halloween Holocaust float at a parade because this is crucial. They think the Holocaust is bad, much like the majority of people. their response was to leave this voicemail message on the inbox of a Catholic school
Starting point is 00:20:39 no one believes for a single second that your Nazi sympathizing members didn't understand a fucking concentration camp gate is not appropriate we know what you actually think maybe we should turn your little school into a concentration camp don't write that down
Starting point is 00:20:54 don't write that down I feel like we're jumping to some conclusions here Maybe it's time to persecate you religious. I can't figure out what the swear words are here. It's a four-letter word and then a four-letter word. Shit-fuck. No, shit-fuck. No, we need a plural.
Starting point is 00:21:15 That's a key. You religious, blank, blank. Cunt tits. Aenus. Dick Aetis. No, it's got to be plural. Fuck dogs. Fuck dogs.
Starting point is 00:21:26 What you said to dogs. Damn it. we need to get the enigma machine on this this is impossible decreed like the psychopaths you are your children are now in danger
Starting point is 00:21:41 you should have had a better handle on them I don't believe for a single second that the children did it though I think your teachers did it the world's watching you fucking losers you make the world so much worse than it already is all in the name of your precious
Starting point is 00:21:53 fucking God he has abandoned you he will not save you from what happens next sir We've all got a little steamed under the collar from time to time. We've all had a customer service experience that has left us wanting and people say things from time to time. We get out over our skis.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yes, we get head up. God forbid somebody is recording you as you do this, this tirade. You don't want that on time. You know that because you called them. Now, what you don't do is write it all down and send it in. It's amazing to come off worse than the people that made them. The fucking paper mashay and Auschwitz game. They made the Auschwitz float for a Halloween braid and now you look like the nut job.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You look like the crazy person. Oh, this guy has actually done the worst version of this rather than like sending it in, which is, yeah, to call someone where you can just give yourself the stream of consciousness to rant, but you are also making a record of it the entire time. Yes. Just generally good advice. Take some time to write something down first. You know, maybe throw it away. Write it in a journal, throw it away. Burn it ceremonially and a fire.
Starting point is 00:23:03 There is a principle there that I genuinely believe in, which is if you intend to send an angry correspondence to someone, do write it down, go to bed and read it the next day. And decide whether you still want to send it. That is genuine advice. I can guarantee you almost 100% of the time you will say, all right, I should probably take some of those things out. I've kind of taken to walking away from situations in my house
Starting point is 00:23:27 that make me extremely mad. But that means I walk out the back door. Keep on going. And then my neighbors just hear like the loudest obscenity that will hear all week. And it's just a mystery to them as to why I'm out there shouting, cunt at like the sky or whatever.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And it's just going to remain a beautiful mystery to them. I'm not going to leave it on a voicemail. You're not going to say, by the way, my boys are evil. Yeah. I have two demons. My boys. Because I'm not putting that. The Lord has given me two demons.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I will feel better in five minutes. I got a pair of Damians. Yeah. I'm got a Damien maxing. Yeah. I just, I work in, you know, a customer-facing job. I have to deal with a lot of people who maybe don't,
Starting point is 00:24:14 they're bad at regulating their emotions and they don't realize that they're being unpleasant. And sometimes because of my own emotional issues, I have a knee-jerk reaction to rudeness to amplify. back to them. And you put alcohol in the mix, who boy. It's not a good, you've got to just learn to take some time, relax. You've got to, before you say the thing, you go, you know what, I'm going to have a little
Starting point is 00:24:39 breath. I'm going to make, you know what, you weren't to know what you've just done. Before you send that voicemail, go, you know what, I'm going to hang up the phone. I'm actually going to think about it. And I say, if I threaten to put a bunch of children in a concentration camp, will this make me look like a bit of a stick in the mud. Yeah. Like, will people sort of hear that or read the transcript and then be like, that guy's not
Starting point is 00:25:06 nice? Do you want to be thought of as not a nice person? If I put it out there that I'm kind of putting a local Catholic school and mass graves into your mind at the same time, will you think better or worse of me for that? Will that be like a positive thing to you? You've got to think, how do I want to be thought of? of you know like for me um i guess what would be the ultimate for me is to be uh looked on retrospectively as a person that people are happy to see enter a room yeah you know just that when
Starting point is 00:25:40 people see you you know i don't have to be thought about all the time that's not important to me but if you are somewhere that people go oh that's nice look who's here if you're the guy that said let's turn that school into a concentration camp i don't think a lot of people are going to be like, oh, here comes the concentration camp. That's not going to happen for you. Farrell laughs. Here comes the guy who leaves insane messages when he gets mad about stuff. Very insane.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I assume this is not the first. This isn't the first for him. Right. That's probably true. He's got a bit of a temper. The impulse is because he thought the way that they used the imagery of the Holocaust was in poor taste. It was.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Which it was. I agree with him 100% on that. It's just if he thinks that it was artful, that he would have been okay with it? I'm calling up to leave my compliments on the beautiful interpretation of the Holocaust on one of the floats this weekend. Kids did a great job. You guys really nailed it. It was awful. It really made me think. It went home and cried. Thank you for helping me touch my soul.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I guess in some way if you wrestle with the monsters, you do have to be careful. Yeah. because they might hurt you. Yes. The monster is bigger than me. Monster got me. Oh, ow. I'm totally on board with you, Ben, about just the way that I conduct myself in my personal life.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I hope that the people who know me feel like I'm generally trying to be as nice and helpful as I can in any given situation, you know? It does. For me, sometimes, though, in a professional context, a switch gets flipped where I, I'm operating on pure spite. And for that reason, I'm incredibly careful about what I say to people and what I write to somebody or put in a chat or whatever because what I want when it comes to like seeing out a conflict with someone is to be able to know, no one can point in anything I've done and said,
Starting point is 00:27:46 see, this guy got out of pocket about this thing. He acted inappropriately or whatever. I want to have absolutely perfect moral standing. in my quarrel with another person. Yeah. Which doesn't mean you can't further your aims, you just have to be real discreet about how you do it. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Machiavelli. You don't be having these emotional outbursts. Well, yeah, but that's a lot of emotional labour to carry that with you. Oh, it's fucking worth. Yeah. And, you know, as Avenge Sevenfold says, he who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Only at work, though. I'm normal the rest of the time That's not an Avenged 7-7-fold original I don't know if a Venge 7-fold original. I don't know what song this is. You've got to tell me which song this is. You've got to tell me what song is. I'm backcountry. It's the only song anyone, too. I don't know if Avenge 7-fold invented them. Fuck, that's... All right, I got another story here in a similar vein. Have we resolved that...
Starting point is 00:28:59 Did we get a picture of the fucking Holocaust float? Oh, they're out there. There's video of it and everything. Oh, boy. If that kind of thing, interests you, you can find photos on the internet. Okay, well, don't you have to throw it back on them that out. Don't start Googling.
Starting point is 00:29:15 This is from WBTW in South Carolina. Oh, by the way. Yeah. Retired Conway lawyer threatens anti-abortion group with inert device, police say. Huh? Come on. Yeah, I got a fucking inert device for you right here. Huh?
Starting point is 00:29:34 It's my... Yeah. It doesn't matter. You're on antidepressants now. Big week for being on the right side of history in the wrong way. Oh, yeah. This is just... Don't fucking...
Starting point is 00:29:48 I don't want to Toot my own horn here But I think I have put together a pretty good First of all The horn's inert So there's no point tooting it Nothing's going to come out Yeah
Starting point is 00:30:01 Toot as hard as you want It's not going to honk I think is totally numb It's not going to honk I've got three stories that are about someone who is mostly morally correct but he's not good at a long time Conway attorney was arrested Sunday morning after police say he threatened anti-abortion protesters at a local church with what turned out to be an inert hand grenade
Starting point is 00:30:36 okay all right Richard Lovelace 79 who's charged with four counts of threatening to use the replica of a destructive device. That's so funny to go there with like a replica hand grenade. They've got that on the books. They got that on the books. It must be hard to
Starting point is 00:30:57 like threaten someone with a hand grenade so it doesn't have the same pointing capacity as it's not direction. Yeah, but you pull it out with your teeth. It means you've got to be like, ah, uh, uh, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:31:08 yeah, you're motioning at the ring. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, attention setter after posting a $60,000 bond. Hey, there's a good weekend for me. A Jay, a Rubin, and a long penis. Who's is that?
Starting point is 00:31:34 It's a third party in the story. Police responded to St. Anne's Episcopal Church on Main Street in Conway about 10 a.m. Sunday, where I quote, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust anti-abortion protest was happening. Oh, don't call it that. Don't say that. Don't say it that way.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Should have a real hand grenade. Imagine how fucking annoyed you would be if you were talking to someone and they told you with a straight face that they were the survivor of the Holocaust and you said, huh? Go on. It's funny. You seem to be 34. How's that work?
Starting point is 00:32:12 Oh, the abortion Holocaust. The abortion Holocaust. How loud are you to ruin? Yeah, we don't mean a real one. On the reveal on that one. Come on. Yeah. I was reading the other night about Holocaust frauds,
Starting point is 00:32:28 so people that write, that wrote like memoirs of how they were, they survived through the Holocaust. And common theme of them is that Oprah Winfrey loves to invite them on her show. She's found more than one to feature the book. book from and then later had to be like, what? So there was one I saw on there where she claimed to have escaped from a concentration camp at like 11 years old or something like that. And then like had a period where she was like roaming with wolves and stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And so she's sort of read that and gone, what an amazing story. What an incredible tale. But there was also like the James Frey thing where he just like. made up all of his bullshit and then she made him like a multi-millionaire by having him on a show so she just loves to do this apparently she's very very credulous
Starting point is 00:33:26 Oprah Winfrey incredibly credulous person I wouldn't have done the wolves part because that feels like you're kind of pushing your luck a little bit like kind of pick one you know hatchet happened to me and then I was raised by wolves
Starting point is 00:33:41 that's crazy that hatchet happened to you pitching the last thing you want hey it's kind of like hatchet in the holocaust but it's real and it happened to me let's be clear about that i think i would have done perfectly well if i was the little precious boy from hatchet yeah i would have conducted myself in exactly the same way yeah yeah i would just simply kind of trained special forces soldiers yeah and then they got sick or something from a beasting or whatever there's a sequel oh there's multiple sequels there's a sequel he also does a reimagining
Starting point is 00:34:17 He does a reimagining, like an alternate timeline where he doesn't get picked up before winter. So that's Hatchet Winter. Yeah. Versus Hatchet 2, which is the timeline when he didn't get out. So when he got out before winter, so. Honestly, I thought you guys were talking about the horror movie Hatchet. You didn't read Hatchet. You didn't have to read Hatchet.
Starting point is 00:34:39 It didn't have to read Hatchet. We've talked about Hatchet on here before. I haven't seen it, but I absolutely remember your passion. I remember having to do a book repot on that. I nailed that shit. A book repot? A book repo. I'm just saying I would have done hatchet exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I would have figured out how to spot the birds among the camouflage and I would have made a bow and hour. Yeah, you would have used the resources surrounding you. You're sort of natural resources and your own kind of skills and knowledge and daring do. Yes. Actually, you know what? The plane wouldn't have crashed when the pilot had the stroke.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I would have been like, don't worry. I'll pull the yoke in the correct direction. Yeah, which is backwards. Towards me. Towards me. I would have been just fine in Hatchet World, whatever they call that place. What is the easiest outlandish trauma to get away with saying has befallen you?
Starting point is 00:35:37 We'll all say the stuff we have to beep now. And then we'll go on and do the rest. Yeah, because I've never really understood lying about having brain cancer or what have you. right, because that one's going to run out a spool of eventual. Belahead did, I think. Belah did? Yep.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Lime disease. Vietnam. We're getting back into Lyme disease, baby. If you're going to say something, make it easy for me to know whether I have to beep it or not. Don't make me make a decision later on tonight. There was that dude from the league who lied about like escaping 9-11. Oh my God, the other Duplas brother.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Right? Wait, no. No, Steve Ranazisi. Yeah, he shouldn't have done that. Kevin from the League. He said his dad died in the Twin Towers, but also I think he kind of lied about kind of like Indiana Jonesing out of it as it fell. I want to say?
Starting point is 00:36:34 That's such a good lie. That's so good. That's such a good lie to have. Can you imagine what the social situation he was in that made him first do the lie? Trying to get pussy. Oh, he said he said he. worked at Merrill Lynch and it was on the 50th and were you there on the day
Starting point is 00:36:55 yeah yeah yeah yeah you're saying he was there on the day and he but Merrill Lynch that's like high up in the building right yeah yep yep why would you specify the company because that just gives people more it's really easy to look up I reckon he got caught he got caught up and he had said that the events inspired him to move to Los Angeles pursue stand-up comedy. You know how it does.
Starting point is 00:37:21 It's a 9-11? He said his experience escaping death, ex-scaping. Excaping. Escaping death. The World Trade Center made him do stand-up. Okay, so he said he worked at Merrill Lidge, which was on the 54th floor of the South Tower during the attacks. He didn't work at Merrill Lidge, and Merrill Lidge didn't have officers in the towers. how did it come up when was the first time you said this to someone oh and like he has to have done it
Starting point is 00:37:56 enough times to get used to repeating it right yeah well once you've said the lie now you're stuck with those details you can't change the details after the first lie it's all going to snowball are you like bombing on like a first date and like she's clearly losing interest you know i was at 9-11 i was at i'm merrill lynch i worked at merrill lynch 54 4 South how, oh, barely got out. Actually, it inspired me to get into stand-up. And then improvisational comedy. I was on the improvised comedy show The League.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Do you want to know the reason he did give for the social situation that made him first do it? He claimed that the lie was made as a way to, quote, fit in, end quote. Fit in with whom? To quote, survive with the new L.A. crowd. You're in L.A. Everyone's hot. you know everyone everyone over there is just like stunning they've already got an agent they've already got their life sorted out and what are you some schmuck yeah you're gonna be like yeah i was in a subway commercial i was at 9-11 like you gotta have something you're just desperate
Starting point is 00:39:02 oh i survived the oh the the attacks on 9-11 and all of a sudden everyone's looking at you you know you know what it feels like to be la hot for once because everyone's like i was an extra in the Scorpion King. And you've got to be like, yeah, well, I was the 9-11. I actually had dialogue in the Scorpion King, too, as well. I had a line in an episode of Entourage. Yeah. I said, here's your drink Johnny Drama.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, I've been on three different episodes saying, oh my God, that's Johnny Drama. Guys. Here comes Johnny Drama and his entourage of Kooky Guys. I think that's Johnny Trauma and his entourage of kooky guys. I'm guessing sounds like none of us have ever watched any entourage Haven't seen it
Starting point is 00:39:51 Haven't seen it I sure if someone has some drugs Johnny Drama I'm pretty sure there's a character called Johnny Drama He is not the head of the entourage He's not Steve Onteraz Is there a guy called Turtle
Starting point is 00:40:05 There is a guy called Turtle I've absorbed all of this Cultural Osmosis I've never seen an episode of this show Kevin Dylan is Johnny Drama I want to say There is a guy guy named turtle looks like a chode is arie gold the main guy yeah that's the main guy right i believe
Starting point is 00:40:24 arie gold is based on arie manuel who's a real life talent agent and now i think he now owns like unless i'm totally wrong here now owns uh tk o which owns the wwee and the ufc oh huh i'm i'm seeing here it's also loosely based on Mark Wahlberg's experiences in L.A. Yeah, it's about Mark Wolberg. It's about Mark Wolberg. Yeah. I was just thinking back to the 9-11 thing before about how... Join us on a journey through Mark...
Starting point is 00:40:56 Take us back to 9-11. No, is that he did like, I guess, the version of this that he can't be cancelled for, right? Which is you can get cancelled for saying, I was in 9-11. Instead saying, if I were there, I personally would have prevented. Wasn't he going to, like he had a ticket for that flight or something? If I'd have been on that plane, things would have gone down that way. Well, no, Seth MacFarlane had a ticket for a 9-11 flight. He had a ticket and he slept through it.
Starting point is 00:41:25 No, and imagine what we would have missed if he died. He would have missed all those different Roger professions. I don't know how to pronounce his name, but Joe Quakzala, it's Polish. He does a really good sketch about just two guys at a bar talking about, it's like an alternate reality conversation where he did die on that flight and family guy
Starting point is 00:41:45 never went anywhere that's really good I'll link that in the show notes okay Johnny drama is played by Kevin Dylan that's what I said I said that
Starting point is 00:41:55 three minutes go keep up I was reading at the time so now to wait for a break in the conversation to say that Johnny drama
Starting point is 00:42:03 is played by Kevin Dylan yeah there you go Ari Emanuel who is the owner of all those fucking massive companies is the basis of the character Ari Gold. This episode is going to be so good if you've watched all these things. No, it's not because you're going to be so annoyed at how stupid this fucking conversation is.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, that was sarcastic. You're going to be so pissed off. And don't, don't tell us, unless you are on entourage, I don't want to fucking hear from you. Or in 9-11. Yes, if you were at 9-11. Or on entourage. If things would have gone down differently if you'd been on that plane. Yeah, tell us what you would have done on 9-11.
Starting point is 00:42:44 You would have done. I would have pulled the yoke back towards my body. Yeah. Oh, no, we're about to get those towers. Up, up, pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Whose instinct is to push towards the thing you're trying to get away from?
Starting point is 00:42:57 I always play with inverted control, so you don't know. It's just like how people, you know, we have all these accidents. A long, long road, highway through nowhere, and there's a tree, and they've managed to hit the tree. Yeah. They see, you see a tower and you spring out of it. Whoa. The group posted a video to its Instagram page showing Lovelace holding the device in front of them. Quote, I have a grenade, Lovelace says, as he pulled it out of his pocket.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah, we can see, dude. Quote, why do you have one of those? Is that a grenade? Two of the protesters responded. Great questions to ask one out of it, what after another. Now, are we to assume that this is their... I'd maybe reverse the priority order of those two. But I understand.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Why do you have whatever one of those is? And furthermore, what is it? You just confirm for me. I like that they've given us two questions and said that two of the protesters responded. Is this in parallel or in series? Good question. Did one ask the first question, second ask the other? Or were they saying it in sync?
Starting point is 00:44:05 Yeah. We'll never know until we get the video evidence. Getting all bases covered. Of this happening. I honestly, I do. wish I could see the video of this old guy who doesn't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:44:15 yeah old guy being like 79 you know what this is yeah if you've seen the Clintieswood movie Grand Torino
Starting point is 00:44:23 you're getting the vibe of this guy who was just walked up to brandish a grenade from his pocket at a group of people although if I remember the movie
Starting point is 00:44:33 Grand Torino I think he was upset about a different thing I haven't seen him he was upset about a lot of things he was upset about crime but it's clearly not about race because he likes some
Starting point is 00:44:43 of the Hmong people that he meets. But he hates his spoiled white son. He hates his spoiled white son and his son's spoiled white family. He loves his grand turino. He plays a fucking piano song at the very end of that movie. As the credits roll As the credits roll soft jazz piano starts
Starting point is 00:45:07 playing and it's Clintieswood playing the piano and he starts singing a song about his Grand Torino. About this beautiful car. Diagetic credits? It's been playing and singing for so many. It's not diogenic. It's not diogenic credits. You've over-extended yourself.
Starting point is 00:45:22 You've tried it so many times in the last seven days. It will be dietic. If in the movie he was playing the piano singing a song about his car. Or the credits. Or if he's driving the Grand Torino and it's coming through the radio. But it's his character. playing it. No, it's not
Starting point is 00:45:40 Eastwood doing this the director of the film and also jazz pianist. I get that he's the director but he was also the... It's Clint Eastwood playing himself like in that documentary.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Eastwood plays himself. Flags of Everlis? I do, I gotta say, I got beef with movies where an actor is in the movie and the actor is also on the soundtrack
Starting point is 00:46:05 and they play a song. They play a song. It's doing a classic, classic. They play a song by the character in the scene that that actor is also in. Like if it's a Madonna movie and she's dancing at a fucking club and they play a Madonna song from the soundtrack. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:46:21 That shouldn't be on there. You're in the room, you know? And you're just like trying to work this out. Like how can this happen? Canonically, is there a recording artist named Madonna in this world and also Madonna is playing a character in the film? Is that what I'm meant to be working with? You know?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Make it clear a form. So, while West, men in black are fine. It's in the credits. right? Yes. It's just over the credits. I don't like it, but it's in the credits. Wild Wild West.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Jim West. Desperado. Rough rider. No, you don't want Nata. This is so terrible. 50 years old folks home. Wild Wild West. Hey, if you like the song,
Starting point is 00:46:57 if you like the song, Men in Black from the soundtrack of the film, Men in Black, listen to the song, Forget Me Nots by Patrice Russian instead. It's the same song, but no Will Smith and a cool lady on it. I don't like that song. Was the Patrice Russians the people that had the Holy Roman Empire? God damn it. God damn it. Christ.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Who's this for? Patrice Russian, a jazz pianist, just like Clint Eastwood. I don't know. Truly don't. I think it's mainly us. It's not even recording. The red light's not on. We're already in an old phone.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Like, so just remembering being in a hot, hot prime of our mid-30s or early 40s. And the nurses come in and put some microphones down in front of us. You remember, like before? Oh, I remember. Not to take too much of a turn. Oh, no. Not to take too much of a dark turn, but elders were working in like nursing homes. My pussy's stinky.
Starting point is 00:48:06 You should have. Once Andrew said the other thing about there being. a turn, you could have stopped. That was a choice that you made. You wanted to say, my pussy's stinky. You needed to get it out. So much that you ignored a cue. You ignored my wife and nursing home before.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And you went with my pussy stinky. I got to say my pussy stinky. In a borat voice. Oh, God. Andrew, yes. She's been, she's been doing work in nursing homes and she keeps coming home for work and going, yeah, they just bought in like right-to-die stuff in Canberra, so that's good.
Starting point is 00:48:43 We don't have to... We're never going to get real old like that, right? We'll just... I was like, you'll have to say that every day after work. You don't have to look me dead in the eyes and say that five days a week. Yeah, come home from work, big day, hard day, you know, like, I can quit, but just got to check on the government side as to where... euthanasia, still good.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Bolling? So we've got that to look forward to. You've got something to look forward to. Quote, for you all, you know, a gift for you protesters, Loveless replies. Yeah, nice, okay. Before putting the device back in his pocket,
Starting point is 00:49:26 walking away. Just kidding. Yeah. Hey, I might blow you up with a grenade. Ah, well, not today. Some people might call it stochastic terrorism. Some people call it a threat. I call it good because it conforms with my values.
Starting point is 00:49:44 It fits with what I already believe, so I think this act of old man ballerism is insanely good. Perfect ally, perfect ally. Being an old man protest is so good. What's his name, James, whatever, that's in Babe? Yeah, James Cromwell. James Cromwell. James Cromwell. Fuck, I love James Cromwell.
Starting point is 00:50:03 So good. Yeah, he rules. Yeah. He's just in, like, or Liam, Cunningham as well. Yes. He's just like, he just shows up on, on, like, Instagram. Game of Thrones guy.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I don't know if anyone seen, uh, all a succession. Yeah, I've seen succession. He basically plays himself in succession. Yeah, it's wonderful. It's so good. I'm going to have to revisit Babe, because I don't reckon I've seen that since like the 90s, and I've got kids, and it's a fucking George Miller. George Miller, James Cromwell.
Starting point is 00:50:36 It's fucking great movie. He's sick. I'm going to have to get on that. Magda Sabansky, wearing a wig made out of my cousin's hair. Huh? I've said that multiple times on the podcast. Your cousin's hair? This is new information to me.
Starting point is 00:50:49 It's the first time. No, it's not. Magda Sabansky is wearing a wig made of your cousin's hair in the movie babe. Yeah. We've been doing this fucking shoot for eight years. This is probably the third time I've said that on the podcast. I think I'd remember. I remember everything you say about yourself.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Nothing's a surprise to me. I know. We know so much about each other. How many siblings do you guys have? How many siblings do you have? You've got an older brother. Yeah, I know, because we mentioned it like 20 minutes ago. Yeah, I remember that from earlier.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Theo has a sister. Yeah. Just one, though, I think. Andrew's got a brother. We've met his brother a bunch. Yes. How many do I have? How many do you have?
Starting point is 00:51:31 You've got a sister. You got a sister. You do have a brother. Any more? You have multiple sisters? I got two brothers, two sisters. What the fuck? How are we supposed to keep track that?
Starting point is 00:51:41 I started off trying to figure out how many kids you could get on a boat. Oh, well, only two of us were on the boat. What the fuck? Because the boat's small. My family is complicated. Yeah. News 13 reached out to protest organizers and Lovelace on Monday for comment. According to a Conway police report, four people,
Starting point is 00:51:59 quote, provided the same account of what happened before they arrived, saying Lovelace exited the church with his hands inside his pockets, walked towards the group, pulled out of a grenade. Wink. Authorities later determine the grenade was hollowed out. Okay, so this old man is just like, he's an ally. First of all, yeah. He loves bodily autonomy, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:18 And he's putting himself on the line. He's putting himself on the line. He's creating space. He was doing Grand Toreto. He was hoping that the anti-abortion protesters would shoot him, and then they'd get locked up. He was doing exactly the ending of Grand Toreto, which we all remember. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Four wheels and a steering wheel. And then he's going to play the piano. I love having grenades. Grenade Torino. Grenade Torino. He sounds like fucking Rolf from the Muppet Twins on that thing, man. I think we've all just been doing tub weights, right? We could all just accept that blades.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I'm doing Clint Eastwood. I'm doing Tomlights. I'm doing what's... What's that ballad where Tom White sounds gravelly? Yeah. And Andrew's been doing John Torino this whole time. John Tarino. This is one of the best things you can say when you pull a grenade out of your pocket.
Starting point is 00:53:21 I have a grenade. I have a grenade. Did he say I've got a present for you? I've got a present for you. I've got a present for you. A gift. You protested. I've got a gift for you.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Which is German for poison. Now look, it's a total dud. the grenade, right? It's all hollowed out. Nothing bad is going to happen. Nothing mad's going to happen. All I'm saying is I would have pulled out the pin in front of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Yeah, especially if it's a replica. It's funny. It's funny. Yeah. Then gone back and started your car. I'm driving down Main Street, indicating 40 feet before the right turn. Getting into my PT cruiser. one in America.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Where I live, I'm Clint Eastwood, not the character. But I do own the car. I brought it with me to sets a day. And if like half this podcast you've never seen Grant Arena. Haven't seen it. No idea what you're talking about. Maybe just watch the end credits. Redorino to get the law.
Starting point is 00:54:38 It's on Plex. Just watch it, Lucy. You'll like it. Will I like it? Yeah, I reckon. Actually, it's directed by Clint East when he directed Sally. Just not a good movie that I really like. And Invictus, your favourite movie.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Ah, yes. Hey, directed Unforgiven. How about that? Oh, that's a picture. That's a quality film. This is a stupid fucking podcast. I have one more story from you that is still inside this same America watch. We're in the sphere.
Starting point is 00:55:08 We're talking about people whose intentions are good, but maybe their execution are no so good. Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. This is from W.H.O. in Iowa. The hoomst. Miss Kitty's owner
Starting point is 00:55:26 apologizes for, quote, just a costume comment about man dressed as a Nazi in his bar. Sorry. Who could really be wrong here? Yeah. All right, let's pause this one. No, let it wash over you.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Okay. After photos circulated online of a man dressed as a Nazi in a bar on Halloween night, the bar owner is responding to criticism he was met with online. Yeah. Reasonable. The incident took place inside Miss Kitty's Country Bar in Clive. Okay. It smells awesome.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Clive, Iowa. Clive Iowa. Miss Kitty's at Clive. I'm introducing my new character, Clive Iowa. If you live and I'm Deadly, oh, shut up. I'm deadly fucking. I'm deadly fucking serious about this, not about the shutting up,
Starting point is 00:56:25 but a little bit. If you live anywhere near Clive, Iowa, I need you to go to any goodwill or whatever thrift store. they got in Clive. I need you to get into the men's t-shirts. I'm looking for a large to an extra large. I want you to get me everything that says Clive, Iowa on it,
Starting point is 00:56:49 and I will pay you for the shipping. I will pay you for the shirts. I will pay you for your time. Clive, Iowa, men's basketball camp, 2013. Fucking whatever. I want it. Same deal for me, but Sac City, Iowa, two extra small.
Starting point is 00:57:04 if you live near Gaylord Michigan My Gaylord Michigan Basketball 2013 shirt has fallen apart And I need more Gay Lord Michigan shirts They spelled basketball wrong Which made it my favorite shirt ever Man
Starting point is 00:57:23 I'm looking at like a Google street view Of Miss Kitty's country bar Yeah I was looking at it Every American venue gives me such psychic damage, man. It looks like the bar in Thelma and Louise. Like, it's very visibly on the side of the road. Oh, real strip mall stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Just awful. Awful. Yeah, but the vibe rules. Does it? There's a Nazi in here. The incident took place inside Miss Kitty's country bar in Clive. Viewers shared some images of a man dressed in a Nazi soldier uniform embellished with a swastika and wearing a cropped moustache.
Starting point is 00:58:03 The same viewer who sent those photos was also at the bar last Friday night. She sent W.H.O. 13 News, a video of herself confronting the bar owner about the man's costume. That's funny. Where the owner appears to defend the man wearing the gar. All right. Quote, do you know that you have a guest here with an actual Nazi costume? With an actual Nazi costume on? Said the patron in the video.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Quote, yeah, but I'm not going to do anything about it, E.J. Meyer. the bar owner replied. Okay, that's a bit. Oh, that's a strange response. That's a choice. That's making a choice. You know what I was saying earlier about how, like, sometimes there's a way people can confront you that make your knee-jerk reaction to be, like, combative. Sometimes you've got to take a breath.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Combatitive? Yeah. Compatitive. I think it's just combative. Is it? It is combative. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but you fight up. You can edit that out.
Starting point is 00:59:01 You already did. Yeah, I'll just do a, I'll get a clean. read of that. Combatitative. Perfect. Combatitative. I feel like if someone was pointing a phone at me and was asking me questions about a situation in the bar on a packed Friday night, I don't know if I would necessarily, I'm
Starting point is 00:59:17 not saying this person is a good person or anything like that. I'm just saying for me, I would struggle to come out with my best response under those circumstances. Yeah. And you might think that. But then when you look this up, this guy is literally dressed as Hitler. Nazi costume is a bust. He's wearing a suit.
Starting point is 00:59:39 He has a swastika on and he's got a crop mustache. He just happens to have a little mustache. He could be anyone. He could be one of the lower ranking Hitler admiring officers. That's right. Who just said, now there's the moustache for me. He's a real trend setter. Quote, you're okay with Nazis being here, said the patron.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Myers responded, no, but it's a costume. Now we're making an interesting distinction. Yeah. Oh. I'm not okay with Nazis. That guy is wearing a Nazi outfit. It's just a costume. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And we all wear a costume. If it was Halloween, someone showed up as a ghost. You might ask, hey, are you okay with there being ghost here? And you say, no. Or, or that's someone in a ghost costume. You do the right thing, and you punch that purse of the ghost costume by the guts, and you say, no ghosts in here. And then the sheet just falls down on the ground, and there's nothing there.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I cast the out. massive punch to the solar plexus. Cast the out of Miss Kitty's country bar dance. Kidney jab, kidney jab. I bet you back to the afterlife. Just like Constantine would have done. Yeah, the meaty kidney of this spectre.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Yeah! Yeah! You prod this spectre with a pool cue. Get out of you. Get out of you. I assume we've all seen the spate of right-wing influences online just like doing blackface for their Halloween costumes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:16 I feel like they're... It's not even a costume. Overplaying the hand a little on the world. What's the name? Lauren Hobbit dressed up as like a racist Mexican person with a thing about ice on there because they're like, yeah, very fucked up. It's almost like they're sort of like empowering. people to be as
Starting point is 01:01:34 racist as possible as evil really out of the evil and racist and like dehumanizing they've taken they've taken the mask off and now they've put another mask on
Starting point is 01:01:43 and that mask sucks way worse it's way worse it's so much worse it's like a baby mask like that uh the fucking ice agent that wore a baby
Starting point is 01:01:52 like a Halloween baby mask well it looked like Chucky to me the traditional Halloween baby but bereft of hair yeah Chuckie's got his own hair We should get Pyramid Head to pull their skin off.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Yes. I think he'd be on our side. What's that look for? Ben just did a look that told me that he doesn't believe the pyramid's head would be on our side. I don't think Pyramid Head is on our side. I don't think Pyramid Head's an ally? I don't think he is. I don't remember at any point thinking,
Starting point is 01:02:22 uh, pyramid head is misunderstood. Yeah, he's that guy. He's not like Godzilla. He's not like sloth from the Goonies. You just need to, you just need to. need to offer Pyramidhead the right candy bar and it comes around have we tried
Starting point is 01:02:38 we haven't worked out what he wants I've never seen anyone in a piece of media depicted offering pyramid head like a Snickers a picnic pulling the thorn out of his palm and all of a sudden he's using that big old sword for good
Starting point is 01:02:53 if you're like 25 and you're like I'm going to give this podcast and go I'm going to subscribe it's also fuck yourself That all of us, all of us are referring to specifically Pyramid Head in the movie. I'm never, I'm not aware of Pyramidhead's Uvra. Isn't he in like Kingdom Hearts?
Starting point is 01:03:13 But I've got to say he's kind of nice with it. I don't think Pyramid Head is in Kingdom Hearts. He's not in Kingdom Hearts. He is kind of nice with it though. He is. What are you? He's got nice on. Oh my God, he's very alluring, obviously.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Oh yeah, no, this is absolutely beautiful. He's mysterious, he's ripped, like think about. Tell me he's in a band. He's in evil. We've got to stop talking about him like this. He's a bad guy. AI is saying he's not good or evil. He's a manifestation of the protagonist's guilt.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I've not played this game. You would love Silent Hill. Didn't they just do a remake of like two? They did of two, the good one. Lucy, you gotta play Silent. And in the movie, in the movie he tears a lady's clothes off and then he grabs her skin and he tears all the skin off. And he slops it off.
Starting point is 01:04:03 He slaps it off. He slaps it onto the ground, the great sound. It's a bad movie, but it's good for video game adaptation standards. Yeah. Ben at his bar on Halloween. Did you know you have a pyramid head here? Oh, fuck. I'm going to go punch that guy in the guts.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Be gone! He's evil. He's evil, folks. He's not a good guy. Pyramid head, not a good guy. After that interaction. Myers said he went back into his office and sat for a couple of minutes. After that time alone, he said that he came to the realization that the man dressed up
Starting point is 01:04:42 was obviously creating a situation where people felt uncomfortable. He was sitting backstage doing the like, doing the fucking Sherlock algebra in the air. Hickler, what, 1939, beer hall push. Guy in a Nazi costume, superimposing the two over each other slowly. A bit of text that says people don't like Nazis. Oh, fuck. Nazis equals bad. Shit.
Starting point is 01:05:10 On further reflection. Bad to the bone. A little bit of bad to the bone plays. He went to go meet the individual over by the patio door where Maya said he was already leaving. So you're telling me he dealt with this by waiting for a guy to leave, following him and saying, and stay out. Like you get out and he's heading towards the door. I heard your bad to the bone. Your bad to the bone.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Get out of here. Myers told the individual dressed as a Nazi, I think your costume is creating too much controversy while he was walking out. Oh my God. That's so weak. Not even I want you to leave. I think other people are upset by your Nazi and your Hitler costume. I think it's, dude, I think it's awesome.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I think it's so funny. I get it. I get what you try to do, but there's some people here. I think it's funny. Hey, if it was up to me, we wouldn't all take this Halloween stuff so seriously. Yes. Halloween's a time for us to let off steam. Blow off a little steam and put on our full Nazi uniform.
Starting point is 01:06:16 You can be anyone tonight. You can be anyone. You put on a mask and you're someone else, you know? Yes. Saying this while putting on your little Hitler grease-paid mustache. And that other person is Hitler. You did choose Adolf Hitler, the mad dictator of the Third Reich. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:33 It's causing problems with a higher-ups. Controversial figure. Yeah. The only answer is like what's more spooky than Hitler, right? That's the only move you can go with. Honestly, I reckon somebody would be fucking, most people in a bar would be fucking fine if you were zombie Hitler. I was going to say that. I thought this is going to be a zombie Hitler situation.
Starting point is 01:06:58 If you were in a Nazi outfit but you were also done up in full-born, Nazi decomposing face paint. I'm a Nazi zombie. On your head. Oh, on your head, yeah. Oh, exit wound, yeah. That's a whole, like, that's a horror movie trope, the Nazi zombie, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:15 I feel like you'd have an entry wound on your head. But you had to go as live Hitler. Well, you'd have both, but the entry wound would be small, and the exit wound would be big. Maybe. I mean, okay. On Monday, Myers spoke with W.H.O. 13 news about his regret for how the situation unfolded and how he responded to the patron that recorded him. Quote, it wasn't the right response.
Starting point is 01:07:38 I probably should have just said, thank you for making me aware, give me a few minutes, and I'll take care of it. It wasn't the right response. Now, Ben, in your capacity as a bar person, do you find yourself kind of empathizing a bit with, this guy in the sense that it's very possible if you watch the footage that he could have been saying this stuff in a tone
Starting point is 01:08:02 that is like hey I got a lot of fires to put out right now yeah that thing sucks I'm trying to deal with some stuff I haven't watched the video I don't know anything know anything about this guy he might genuinely suck but I feel like if we had a busy Friday with an event and someone was just filming me
Starting point is 01:08:18 and asking me a question I'd be like I'm not sure I'm not aware about that yeah and then you go deal with it yeah that's not good I'll see I'll see. This is a bad time for a small town business to be the focus of a news thing. No good. Never any good.
Starting point is 01:08:37 This guy could fucking suck, though. I don't know. He could suck. All I'm saying is, in your experience, do you think there's a scenario where you could be filmed saying something that sounded very dismissive, but also you're running a fucking bar on Halloween night and you're like, yep. On the night, we all let off steam, you know? A night that you're actually allowed to go crazy and let it all out.
Starting point is 01:09:01 You know, that's the one night you don't want to be filmed. Yeah. Turn your camera off on Halloween, okay? Get your photo, your costume before that you leave the house and then just fucking... It's Halloween. Body cams off. Body cams off. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Unless you're someone who has the ability to legally dispense violence, in which case, please. Leave your body cam on. Leave your body cams on. Putte Vista asks you to please. Hey, please. Leave it on. Leave it on. If it's not on, it's not on.
Starting point is 01:09:31 That's so true. If you are someone who is legally able to dispense state violence, maybe keep the body camera on after your shift ends, you know? Maybe it can be an all-day thing for you. Try and avoid doing state-sponsored violence. Yeah. If you can. If you can.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Leave the house in the morning thinking, we're going to try not to do any state-sponsored violence, if I can. I won't hurt anyone today. I won't hurt anyone today I won't hurt anyone today I live the house thinking that every day yeah angrily pointing at myself in the mirror
Starting point is 01:10:05 I won't hurt anyone today just saw Sean Hannity crying on TV pretty good life can be good life can be good a good beer some proshoot
Starting point is 01:10:17 Sean Hannity crying Dick Cheney buried ass up Montepalciano King Island Smoke Cheddar. A little ride on the Coney Island roller coaster. Oh, ending out the evening out the evening with a Rubin and a Jay on the Coney Island Ferris wheel. Yeah, you're on Fire Island, Long Petus.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Jay, Rubin, Hannity, crying. That slinky ding flopping out of your shorts. Oh, gee, all right. Okay. This is all callbacks, by the way, we're doing four minutes of callbacks And then we're out Hey, remember slightly Earlier?
Starting point is 01:11:08 Earlier? You guys remember earlier? Why I said the confrontation on video happened after he had just walked through the bar to his office to get things in order for the costume competition He had a lot of shit on his fucking mind I have already picked up the scorecards and I had moved the zero to the the front in anticipation of awarding it to that gentleman. I've got to tell you that as someone who professionally facilitates events, people do not respect the fact that you are busy.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Ever. If you've got to walk around doing a lot of stuff for an event, everyone wants a little piece of you when you're very clearly going between location A and location B to organize something. Everyone's like, let's have a quick chat. I've got my busiest face on currently and you're trying to grill me about there being an Adolf Hitler in the bar
Starting point is 01:11:59 I got to judge the costume competition He's dead How good is his costume That fight That guy fucking died in like the 70s Leave me alone What is he? What is he?
Starting point is 01:12:12 110 Sir, I don't think that's actually Adolf Hitler He would look older That's not out of Hitler It's okay, sir Coming down on the side of the Hitler car The funny thing is I don't feel like we're coming down on the side of the hitler costume
Starting point is 01:12:31 We're coming down on the side of the person who works in the bar Who's busy? He's busy He's got a lot on I don't know anything about no Adolf Hitler I'm just coming down on the side of people who got a lot on Yeah I think of a shit going on
Starting point is 01:12:44 Someone told me that glass washer isn't draining I'm going to look at that And then I'll deal with your frickin' Rudolph Hitler what do I follow his nose you don't even have to put events on you're doing it extra for them yeah you don't have to have a costume competition if you've got fucking kitties country bar and glides
Starting point is 01:13:11 you just decided to spread some joy it's just a little bit of Halloween joy a night wherever one could let off steam you can be whoever you want Yeah. Whoever, and we... Can we start making a big list if you can't be? Joseph Fritzel.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Don't be Joseph Fritzel for Halloween. Let's not make it evil. Let's not say that name in the last like 45 seconds of the episode. I'm saying you shouldn't be Joseph Fritzel. Yeah, I agree. You don't have to put it into people's minds. Coming out in 2025 is an anti-Joseph Ritzel podcast. You know what?
Starting point is 01:13:48 I was reading as a fucking hate it. The Wikipedia page last night. No good. That guy. We got to get you of Wikipedia. We've got to get you a little bit of that stuff. Get back on the switch. Get back on the Steam Day.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Can you get me Net Nanny for nice Wikipedia page? You ever just read the Wikipedia article for Airplane? Oh, the movie? No, the phenomenon. The phenomenon? Airplane. Well, I think they're phenomenal and I guess you'll agree. because of your autism.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Grenade Torino. Quote, I want to apologize to everyone who had offended and it certainly was not my intention and we genuinely support a lot of things whether it be trans or gay or whatever. So good. All right. This is an ally.
Starting point is 01:14:37 A lot of things, whether it be trans or gay or what else. Me too. I support a lot of things. Trans or gay or whatever. Chinese. Yeah. Trans, that's it. Trans gay Chinese.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Yeah. That's it. Greek Orthodox Catholicism. They're all welcome. I noticed that he's done gender neutral when he says they're all welcome. They're all welcome. They're all welcome. Isn't that what hospitality is all about?
Starting point is 01:15:06 Trans gay, whatever. Trans gay Chinese. Trans gay Chinese. Come on in. That's what hospitality's all. The ward is fired. I'm down with this. I'm down with this.
Starting point is 01:15:17 I think getting on the news and saying that shouldn't have happened and everyone's welcome here. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. However fucking clumsy it is. I think this is like definitely dismissive, but also for someone who clearly is not like us and living in an environment, we're surrounded by a lot of beautiful trans people, trans people, non-binary people, Chinese people. It's dismissive to just be like trans gay or whatever. but this is someone who's not super familiar with that sort of thing
Starting point is 01:15:50 doesn't maybe have the language down Pat but he's willing to get on the news and say, yeah, trans people, gay people, whatever. You probably should have said no Hitler. You should have probably been stronger on the not into Hitler thing. Let's get that for next time. We generally support a lot of things, whether it be trans or gay or whatever. We genuinely don't support a lot of things, whether it be Hitler.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Yes. Or whatever. You've got to find out at some point. Goebles. Fritzels. Nope. Okay. We gave ourselves a little bit of distance. You bought it back.
Starting point is 01:16:24 You've got to find out through trial and error the things that you do have to do something about, I guess. Because, you know, if you're talking about working in a bar, a country bar and dance, you know, if you're working at that kind of venue, there's going to be a lot of people in and out of there. It's going to be a lot of different people with a lot of different ideas. about the world. They're going to butt up against each other sometimes. Some of them want to dress as Hitler. Yeah. All the rest of them think that's uncool, you know?
Starting point is 01:16:53 You've got to make decisions. Yeah, you've got to make decisions because I'm sure that if you're working in this sort of role, you can't solve everybody's problem for them, you know, of a shift. You've got to pick and choose. And this guy has just learned, through trial and error, Hitler costume in the bar is something that actually demands your immediate attention. That's a bad vibe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:13 It's a bad vibe. But, like, I can understand being pressured and being like, I can't come in and police everybody's Halloween costumes right now. Yeah. But he's done it. He stood up and he said, trans, gay, Chinese, everyone. Whatever. You are all welcome here.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I think the next obvious step for him, if he wants to get his credibility back, is to get one of those stickers from MasterCard that has the flag on it. Yep. And then that way people know that he accepts MasterCard and trans people and gay people. Oh, it's a two-foot. Yeah. welcome here there's nothing
Starting point is 01:17:45 nothing like that stick nothing uh says hey your money is welcome here like that kind of sticker yeah it's so weird we have like just we got a little one of those flags up in the window it's not the master card branded one
Starting point is 01:17:59 because that feels disgusting yeah why the fuck did you need master card branding on you it's just bizarre even if you saw that and thought you know what that's a good idea it'd be nice to have a little marker in the window
Starting point is 01:18:12 that says Just say it yourself Yeah You know Make your own Just make your own Canva You probably got a laminator
Starting point is 01:18:19 For your menus Get on Canva Just get on Canva Just get on Canva Don't do it through fucking Canva I'd rather see something You want to see something You want to see something done with markers
Starting point is 01:18:27 Right I want to see something that looks Dog shit done by hand Not something nice done by Canva Canva get the fuck out of my life Sick of it This man's slaving an illustrator Making his own posters for events
Starting point is 01:18:42 I mean I'd mostly just use Photoshop and then I put it in indesign just so I get a smaller PDF when I have to send it off for print. I'm so bad. I don't know. I think that's a distinction without a difference. I don't think that matters.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Because the illustrator is sort of outlined first. Myers said the policies in the bar will be changed moving forward. He didn't outline specifics on what would change, just articulating that something like this will not happen again. Perfect. That's so good. We're going to make sure all of this is sorted out. Forever. No more problems.
Starting point is 01:19:16 It will never happen again. No problems. Don't worry about it. We've just going to get it sorted. We've changed our policies. No more fucked shit going on. Just good times. I know he didn't outline specific policies, but I think that one is pretty implicit, which is no Hitler's. No Hitler's. I think no Hitler's is just an easy solid.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Just coming down on the side of no Hitler's. From now on, starting November 2025, at Miss Kitty's, no Hitler's. No Hitler's. Yeah. I hate to be on us about these things, but I don't care how good your Hitler is. No, Idlers. I get that you got a lot of prosthetics done and that you didn't model it off photos of Hitler. You went with the movie Downfall.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Bruno Garns. You're doing Bruno Gans. I've seen every Hitler there is. I can see that. Hitler A through to Hitler Z. I recognize the craftsmanship that went into the prosthetics that have been deployed to make you look like Bruno Gans in downfall. You know? I get that.
Starting point is 01:20:13 Doesn't matter. Hard, firm, policy. He's a wonderful Thespian. Miss Kitties, no Hitler's. You're not welcome. Go scrubbing off and come back? That was a hundred percent. I'm so fucking lootly.
