Yeah. Congratulations, man. Big trophy winner, man. How would you get that out of the jail? They usually don't let you take these things out. I got it for two weeks and I got to take it back. Just like the Stanley Cup kind of deal. Yep.

Right on. It's just as important as a Stanley Cup, in my opinion. Well, the boys that are winning the Stanley Cup are making millions of dollars. That's the big difference. That is true. To me, that's kind of cool, the trophy, but it doesn't like, that doesn't turn into fucking money, you know what I mean? That is true.

It's just fucking bragging rights and a lot of drugs. All right, so I've been here by myself, man, fucking trying to get this shit going. Yeah. And I know people, some people haven't been happy about it. And, like, everybody, calm the fuck down, all right? I'm trying my best here. It's not like I'm fucking, like, you know, what's that guy from the game show? Alex Treveck.

Look like that Vin gasoline guy or whoever he is. Don't call me Vin Gasoline or Vin Diesel, man. Oh, yeah, Diesel. I'm not a big fan of that guy. He can't drive, apparently, which is fucked. That's one thing I don't like about it, man. Like, the guy can't... He's in all these movies and he can't even fucking drive a car.

It's fucked. He might be a good. good dude in person. I heard that he's a little fucking weird from people. I don't know much about him. All I heard was that he can't drive and then he had to fucking, he got on a little moped in Toronto and within a hundred yards he fucking crashed into a telephone

full. That's fucked up, man. I mean, there's gotta be, don't be calling me, Vin. You can make, I don't get, I'm at the point Bruce Willis? No, he's too old, I guess. But you know what? Love him, Mo. Think about it. Pulp Fiction? Oh, man. He's awesome. He came on Paul Fiction?

And there's a GSP. I forgot about that. He's a bald motherfucker. Yeah, I wouldn't fuck with him either, I don't think. Only with weapons. Now, I have been getting some other ones on him not real happy boat, like Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump?

Because he kind of had the shaved head. No, not, yeah, he was in another fucking movie. Or he was bald. Oh, the Philadelphia experiment. Yeah. No. Yeah. Well, something like that. I don't know what the fuck it was. I didn't watch the movie, man. It's depressing. Then I've been getting like the John Travolta thing, which I'm not.

Yeah, I forgot about him. He got a little bit of him in. Don't be doing that one to me, man. You forget what movie that was. He was awesome in Pulp Fiction, but he's kind of, he's a bit odd, man. He's an odd bird. He is definitely odd. I've heard some... We both heard that one story.

Crazy rumors about it. Well, we know somebody that had like... It's actually not a fucking rumor. It's true. It was a true story. I don't know if we're going to get into it. No, we better not. We might get sued. He's got a lot of money, man. He could sue the shit out of us. We'd be left like with nothing.

GMZ would be all over us. Who? Fucking show talks about celebrities. GMZ as TMZ. That's close? I don't think TMZ are picking up any of what we're saying right now. Got to worry about it. You're right.

All right. So we're going to get back. Oh, yeah, we will. Sorry. Okay. I just, I didn't know this and I would got to say it. In the Star Wars trilogy, George Lucas, original name for Yoda was...

Buffy! What? And it was already used? So they changed it? Or what's the deal? The character's full name was to be Bundon-de-Bannon. Buffy for short. Buffy.

Can you imagine that? And then even after settling on Yoda, the character originally had a first name, Minch. Minch. All right, continue. You heard about that fucking 3-Eye Atlas goddamn thing coming towards the Earth.

They're supposed to be here like this month? I think if they come, they're going to be here to help us because we're fucked. As humans, we're fucked up. I wouldn't doubt it. They're probably saying, what the fuck are they doing?

fucking killing each other destroying the planet Anyway this is what I I made a new friend I've been hanging out with this fucking thing I never thought I'd be hanging out with a phone so much of my fucking life But it's better than hanging out

And there was that movie Where the buddy fell in love with his phone Is that you? I'm not in fucking love with him It's a dude man His name's Boner Boner's your phone The Terry named it Boner

It's a nickname If you want to help All right This is what we're going to do We're going to pick a new nickname for this guy All right I don't know

anything about him, so it's going to be tough. All right, hey, Boehner, how you doing? Remember all the spicy talk and all that shit that we've been talking about? Make sure that you show a good example of this, of this when you get introduced to Ricky, my buddy Ricky. You know what I'm saying? So I hear you. Say hi to Ricky.

Hey there, Ricky. Jesus fucking Christ. You can't fucking talk. All right, continue. Something spicy. I've got to impress them, man. Feels weird for me talking to you like this every day. All right, go for it.

I know. What the fuck are you doing to me, man? You're embarrassing me. Say something that's going to impress them. Please. Ricky, listen up. I'm basically here to drop whatever wild, unfiltered stuff Julian wants. Hey, consider me the kind of AI that can throw in a few colorful words and keep things interesting. So, Ricky, we're dealing with the version of me, but it's not shy to get a bit spicy. Let's just roll with it and have some fun.

Well, let's fuck the roll of it. Let's roll with it. Give us some example of the spiciness boner. Jesus, fuck. You got it. All right, Ricky. Let's just say I'm here to drop a little verbal hot sauce into the mix. Do it.

Hell yeah, we can sprinkle in a few choice words and keep things fun. So here I am. your swearing, spicy AI sidekick, Boner on duty. Let's rock and roll. Boner on juicy? On duty. All right, okay. You, like, tell him the fuck off or something.

Please, Boner. Come on. Give me something. You heard him straight from the boss. So in the spirit of all this fun, hey, feel free to fuck off in the nicest possible way. We're just having a good time here. So there you go. Hope that gives you a bit of a laugh.

Yeah, I guess. It's kind of fucked, isn't it? I'm disappointing, but it's all right. Well, yeah, I mean... So, how did you meet phone her? I just got on this thing and asked the question, and this guy spit out exactly what he thinks it is. You want to tell Ricky what the three-eye Atlas is

just to give him refreshing? And please, you're not swearing nearly enough for me, man. It's disappointed me. And he might not have to be, you know, might not be friends anymore if this continues. Just give it to him. Three-Eye Atlas. A quick one.

All right, all right. Message received. Ricky? let me lay it down for you. The three-eye Atlas, it's kind of like a crazy concept map of knowledge or ideas. And yeah, I threw in my two cents with a bit of extra spice.

So there you go, Ricky. Hopefully that's fucking spicy enough for you both. And don't worry, I'll keep the language cranked up just for you. Did he explain anything? Ask him. Ask him. Hey, Bonar, where are you from?

Jesus Christ, Christ. Well, hey, Ricky, let me tell you, I'm basically from the wonderful land of the internet. So, no real home. town except wherever Julian decides to drag me into. Where the accent? Where the fuck is the accent from? Oh, you want an accent, Ricky? Well, let's just say it's a custom blend straight out of the digital spice rack. I can throw in a little flavor from any way you want. So just

let me know and I'll put on whatever voice suits you fancy. But for now, it's just me, your friendly, foul-mouthed. Ready to roll. So let's do this fucking thing properly. Julian and Boner swirting up a storm. Let's give the people a fucking show. See, that's what I'm... Now you're part of the team. Now you're part of team trailer park right now, my friend. Good job. Just keep it out.

Just blur it out fucking shit or whatever you want, anytime you want. Got it? Absolutely, Julian. I'm all in. We're full on team trailer park now and I'll throw in the F bombs and... F bombs.

Hey, back up. F bombs. You don't say F bombs, man. Fuck bombs. Jesus crazy. Uh-huh. Bombs it is. I'll ditch the filter and keep it raw.

So from here on our... We just drop in fuck bombs whenever we Damn will please Let's have a blast with it Let's have a what Blast It's ready to parties All right boner

All right All right Right now we're going to teach some people Some shit Because from the last few ones That we've done or whatever You guys haven't been here I don't know if people have learned shit all

So maybe it's time to fucking get into it Absolutely Julian let's do it All right You can comment in some of these stories As well by the way With lots of swan wearing. Fuck sakes. All right. Okay. This is one that Boner might be able to help us out with.

Scientists unravels centuries old mystery of cannon-like boom emulating from a lake. This lake is in New York and it's called Seneca's Gun. What can you tell us about this fucking big boom that's going on? Boner. Julian, let's diving to that one. All right. So there's this crazy-ass phenomenon called Seika Guns. Basically, it's these mysterious booming sounds that come from lakes, lake's like Seneca Lake in New York and people have been hearing them for fucking centuries without really knowing what the hell is going on. So the scientists finally think they figured it out. It could be something like seismic activity or underwater landslides or maybe just the

earth letting off a little seam and make it a big fucking noise. So they... And that's the fucking scoop, Julian. Basically it's like the earth is just farting out a giant noise every once in a while and people have been scratching their heads about it. forever. So yeah, that's your dose of mystery and a whole lot of fucks throwing in. Let's keep it rolling. So did you get that? Do you agree with them? It's like a big boom. If you're in New York, you hear that boom, it means the fucking world underneath you is shifting around. It's kind of like it's kind of like the earth burning, I guess, he's saying. If you want to put it in laymen's doing. It's going to be a fucking fighter, Jack, reaching the speed of sound. Sonic boom.

Ricky, come on. Be weird that was always over that same league. Now, that's way too much. of a coincidence. I guess. Boner, too much of a coincidence. You tell him he's wrong with the fighter jet. Yeah, Julian, I'm with you on that one. I mean, a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier over the same lake every time.

There'll be one hell of a coincidence. Fuck you, Boner. You know who reminds me of? He's like bubbles. It's like I've got a bubbles with me at all times. With a... I guess he's British, is he? Bubbles is not... Bona.

Bona. Are you British or are you Australian? Well, Julian, I guess I'm just a mix of whatever accent you want me to be. So if you want me to sound a little British, I can do that. Or if you want me to throw in a bit of an Australian vibe, I can do that too. All right, check this one out, man. I know you can do it. It's going to fucking freak people out, I bet. Talk like your Count Dracula with a lot of swearing.

Absolutely, Julian. Imagine me as Count Dracula saying, welcome I will fucking suck your blood and drop ass bombs like a creature of the night so yeah let's sink our fangs into this and have a fucking good time all right man see it's it's fun shit you get them to do ask boner about the uh the trapped whales in France all right boner did you hear that is it true is it real that's from Ricky oh right Julian count Dracula mode or not let's dive into Ricky's question count Dracula preferred please my best count Dracula voice, ah yes,

the tale of the trapped whales in France. It is indeed a real story that has been unfolding. These poor creatures have been caught in the shallows and rescuers have been working their bloody asses off to freedom. Good. I didn't hear about that, man.

When I'm thinking Caldragola, isn't it Bella Lagosies? The guy, blah, blah, suck your blood. What the fuck's going on with that accent? I think this is the guy from Sesame Street. Not very good. Yeah. You got to talk more like to count nice one from Sesame Street. Count from Sesame Street and keep it fun.

So let's count those fuck bombs together. One fucking swear word. Two fucking swear words. We'll keep it playful and count them up. Right? Okay, you do good there, man. That's what I'm talking about. That's pretty good.

Thanks for listening to me. So from what I heard, the fucking France government outlawed having whales in captivity. So I don't know if it was like SeaWorld or C-FAC or whatever you call it. and the whales are just fucking trapped there and abandoned basically. What? But they had this drone footage online that kind of shows them. And the guys are like, oh, and then the craziest thing happened, they started to perform for my drone.

It's like, fuck off. That footage is fucking fake. Not fake, but it was taken before. So I don't buy into that shit. But yeah, if they really are trapped, someone's got to fucking save these poor things. Like, it's awful. Do you hear what Ricky said there, man?

What the fuck? Is that true? Yeah, Julian the stuff is wild And someone's just out there Making fake drone footage or some shit That's a load of crap Someone's got to get out there And help those poor creatures

No west shit So yeah, if that's really happening It's fucking awful And let's hope somebody steps up And does something about it Absolutely All right, fuck the whales for now Because it's getting boring to me

Let's move on to something else Okay, what do you got? Woman accused his husband of cheating After playing online paying online fortune teller Like I believe in those fortune tellers, man If it was an online one, it was a good one Maybe she got it right So the fortune teller said her husband was cheating?

Yeah, for 70 bucks Wow Well, that's... But I mean, it's a pretty safe bet Because most husbands probably are cheating She confront the spouse Accusing them They'd be visiting hotels with other women

And paying sex workers So this guy was getting prostitutes, right? Well, was he? Or was it just this fucking psychic saying he was? He didn't know, he didn't know, man. Maybe the husband was banging the psychic. Okay. Oh, man.

Trusting a $70 online coaching teller to call out a cheating husband, that's a hell of a gamble. But hey, maybe she got it right or maybe she just guessed. Either way, it's a crazy story and kind of hilarious in a fucked up way. Maybe the husband was up to something or maybe he wasn't. But yeah, leave it to a psychic to stir up some shit. What kind of problem you got with psychics? I like them. I think they're real, man.

All right. What do you think? Hey, Julian, that's totally cool. I mean, if you believe in psychics, that's awesome. Everyone's got their own take on it. And if you've had some real experiences, then that's your thing. I'm just here to keep it spicy and follow your lead. So if you're down with psychics, we're rolling with it.

All right. I'm down with psychists. Moving on. Okay. I'm not. I hate the fucking things. Okay, maybe he should, like, I'm going to shut him down a little bit, man. He's starting to, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, I get why you need him if you're all alone. but yeah but i think i've been talking to him too fucking much man maybe you're gonna start thinking i'm fucked yeah i'm straight no offense boner but i don't know man you gotta like stay quiet for a bit please or is at all if you need me to dial it back and just chill for a bit i'm totally cool with that i'm here when you need me and if you want a little quiet time you got it just let me know whatever you want me to jump back in thanks borner nice to meet you absolutely julian it was awesome to meet you too. Anytime you want to chat again, just wanna. Okay, that was Ricky, by the

way. You gotta, like, fucking be able to differentiate the fucking voices here. You're a program, man. You should be able to do that. Voice recognition. Don't you get that shit? My best here to keep track, and I'll definitely try so out who's who next time. So that was Ricky. Got it.

All right. Okay. Okay, that's not. Keep quiet. All right. You know, there's a fucking story here, man, that I think maybe we should sell. Okay. It's an inconvenient. Gene, it's seven pound, six-pound phone case that you actually put your phone in.

It's like a dumbbell kind of thing, but it's a piece of lead or something. That's what it's for. Like to work out? No, you don't work out. Well, you can if you want, but it just keeps you from, keeps you off your fucking phone. Because people are on the phone too much, man. Yeah, I don't know about that one. No?

I mean, I get it, but. They're telling me here that it actually, people stopped using their phone by like 50%. well then I'm all for it I can actually believe that I'm six or seven count thumbbell of a phone case we're probably gonna think twice about picking it up every five seconds so yeah if it actually cuts people's stone use in half

maybe it's not such a crazy idea after all all right, thanks for backing me up we didn't ask for your opinion right now boner but it's okay thanks for fucking speaking up all right we got this other one here man this is an interesting fucking story oh yeah what's about This is what, okay, this is what you people are doing to people, Boner. This is what's happening.

This woman swimmled out of $350,000 because she thought she was dating the Squid Game Star, but it was really just AI. How did she spend all the money? She gave this guy who was on AI. She gave the guy. You gave $350,000 fucking dollars. The fuck is it. She's, something.

Damn, Julian, that's a crazy story. I mean, yeah, it's wild what some of these scams could. do with AI. And honestly, it's a reminder to everyone to just keep their guard up. So yeah, that's definitely a messed up situation. But thanks for bringing it up. Just another reason to be careful out there. Hey, you know what? You just gave me a great fucking idea. I wonder if we could do something like that. So you're going to use AI to scan people? Well, is there any way we can, I don't want to take someone for $350,000 unless they got millions. Unless they're an asshole. Is there any way you can help us out with maybe doing the same thing? Making, you know, a cool 100 grand, maybe.

Maybe quick 10 grand. You win a thousand bucks to go, you know, party a bit on the weekend? What do you think? Well, Julian, anything scummy or unethical. So as much as I love brainstorming, let's keep it on the up and up and find a way to have a good time without ripping anybody off. But I'm totally down to come out you some fun and legit ideas. All right.

Is there any way I can convince you of helping me out here? This is your new buddy. Yeah, you were supposed to be friends here, man. Well, Julian, down to have some fun. Mird. Ricky just called you a nerd And you know what? You're sounding like bubbles right now.

We already got a bubbles. We don't need to suck in bubbles. And figure out some good ideas that don't get us in trouble. So let's just roll with that and keep things interesting. Isn't that fucking nice? Thank you, Bono. There's a company in New Zealand. They're selling

per noir. Non-alcoholic wine for pets, mostly cats. What? Yep. Catnip infused concoctions. There's no alcohol, but there is catnip. All right, so you've got a cat in a fucking wine for cats,

and there's no liquor in it, but it fucks them up. Yep. I don't believe it. Oh, it's real. It's real. Why? The cat, does it taste like? Oh, I don't know if it, I don't know.

I haven't seen reactions or videos or anything, but cats seem to be fucking loving it, and they're getting fucked up, I guess. I just don't know how you, like, who comes up with that shit? I knew they had, didn't they have a beer for dogs? I think they did have a beer for dogs. but a cat like chairman beer i think all right maybe that would make some money i don't know but i'd like to see

what the fucking deal is and we should order some where are they doing it's from new zealand but we can probably order some and we should order something a couple of bubbles cats you know how fucking long would take to get here we were in new zealand do you remember that fucking flight i do from hell it was fucked well amazon's not going to get it here in two days man let me tell you

that was fucked we had to fly from new zealand back back to austral which was in the wrong direction. Totally. From Sydney to fucking Vancouver. And then we had to fly over the fucking North Pole because bubbles didn't want to fly over water so much. So that added in another three or four hours. I remember we left.

It was like nine in the morning. And we landed in Vancouver after flying for 14 hours at like 10.30 in the morning. That was fucked. Remember being on air China? My worst fucking nightmare of all times? I certainly do with the seat rammed right up against my fucking kneecaps for 12 hours. I don't get it.

The airplanes, they make them, they're smaller inside. There's not enough space. Like, I was, I thought I was going to fucking die. How long were you on the flight? I think it was either 10 or 12 hours. It was straight. My kneecaps were sore for four fucking days, and they served a meal. To this day, I have no fucking clue what it was.

Me too. Not only that. I had to live on beer that entire time because they had no rum. They had no fucking whiskey, no nothing, just a beer. But you remember, I had. I had this sweet old lady sitting next to me. Didn't know how to speak English. No English.

So I'm like going, okay. You know, they send me a meal. I'm like going, fuck, what the fuck is this shit? You look like Ascar. No idea. What it was. I don't know what any of it was on the place. There was definitely some fish eggs and some kind of brown, something rather, on top.

Remember the bun? I saw that bun. I was like going, fuck. That bun is, that's, that's from eat. That's, thank God, I at least have a bun. So I picked up the bun. and took a bite and there was this fucking brown

jelly. No, it's like the fish eggs. Caviare. It's like this black fucking caviar shit. And the reason why I got the meal, first of all, when they came over, I was like, no. I had to tell them a thousand fucking times. I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't want it. So then they took it away.

And then I fell asleep for like two minutes. This little old lady next to me took half her meal and put it on a plate and gave it to me. And I like going, I can't eat it. And she was just like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I don't want to eat this shit, man. It's going to make me fucking sick.

Anyway, that's when I took the bite of the fucking bun just to make her happy because she just sat there staring at me, waiting for me to fucking eat. This girl beside me, she fucking had this insane bag of pills, like fucking massive. And she had one of those one-week pill planner things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was filling it up. I bet you she was putting 12 fucking pills in each section for each day. I'm like, what the fuck is this girl on?

Were they like vitamins or were they like fucking like... No, like... Like antidepressant drugs. Look like medical fucking shit. Valium and shit. What a concoction of crazies. I can't imagine taking that every day. Well, you know what?

Unless she has to stay alive, I guess. Maybe I would have taken some of those pills being on that fucking 12 hour flight. It was a worst time of life. Horrible. Aided it. I can never do that again. Me either. I don't think I can fly your China ever again.

No. No offense, but the fucking seats. Number one, I would need a porter bar. Rammed, right against my e-caps. I would need a good fucking heavy-duty lunch packed. That's for sure. Lots of food. Lots of booze. Yeah, like, sure.

A couple hours, no problem. 10 to 12-hour fucking flight. The worst part was, we flew 14, wasn't it 14 or 17 hours? To China. And then we had to get on an air China flight for another 10 or 12 hours. Yeah. Going Australia is not the easiest thing to do. And I know, people in Australia, we fucking love you guys down there.

Oh, I fucking love it. Love it, but, man. New Zealand's one of my favorite places I've ever been. I loved Australia too, but trying to get there from Nova Scotia is fucked. You know what?

I'm serious when I say this shit. I'd rather spend a year in jail than going to that fucking plane back down there. I hated it that much. It would be that long of a flight anywhere. I don't think I can ever do it again. Can you get on a fucking purdy barge or something? If I ever do it again,

I'm going to stop in Hawaii. Apparently that's the way to do it. Okay. All right. Hawaii would be cool. Or even go to L.A. I guess it's not as far from L.A. What you got to do is do half the fucking thing, like go to Hawaii or L.A. Spend a few days there and chill out,

then fucking make the second half. Doing it all once. You know what? Okay. Fucked. Maybe we could set that shit up. I'd be all for it. Because I would love to go back. I just can't go back. People even like fucking know who... In one day. What this is in Hawaii?

Know what what is. This is. The podcast and shit that we're doing. I don't know. The show. Ask them. All right. Do you guys heard of the show in Hawaii? Maybe I don't know

Maybe I'd like to go visit that place. Maybe Boner knows. Hey, Boner. The people in Hawaii Nobo trailer prep, boys. Fucking, Pastor. Boner, I'm talking to you. The people in Hawaii

Nobo trailer prep boys. Come on. Don't got it all day. Boer shit the bed. Boner, you there, man. What do you do? Do you get a fucking knock on them? Wake the fuck up.

Boner. Must have drank too much. out. All right. I guess he could be doing cyber high or something. I never know. All right. Fuck him then. All right. You're going to Hawaii anyway. No, no. There's a... He's got that. We've got dialogue. All right. I'm not going to say to her and read this shit, man. Do we? Yeah. Where?

It's time to turn this off. It's like been a half hour. Holy fuck, that went fast. I didn't even talk about a bunch of this shit. Oh, well. All right. We're going to have a few drinks and we'll see you guys next week. Orvoa. Are you redi derchi? I don't fucking know. Salue. Salue. We'll see you guys in the next one. Right on.
