Sorry, I'm new here but what makes a Balthazar Speedboat? How far should I go back to find out?
Mostly jokes and nothing really serious

Wait a sec, isn't this theme music bu Ginsang supposed to be backwards. 🤨
Marjolein: I genuinely want to follow you around for a week
fuck it let me join your coven
The point about the spiders is correct. Unless you have particularly deadly to human spiders where you live you want more spiders in your house because the more of them you see the less of the really annoying insect pests you will have. Support the spiders in the war against flies, gnats, misquotes and their ilk!
Imagining a fact checking spider and it's very funny.

When I was a bike mechanic I worked with a guy who was in a Dutch Pushbike Biker gang, they genuinely exist
are they like bike messenger guys or it's a different vibe?
it’s been a while since I went to the Waitrose in Morningside but that review is hilarious and seems spot-on (including the academic publication record as proof of age)
I don't know why I lost it when Milo made that salt lick bit but holy shit I had trouble breathing.
the spiders thing is right. here we have kind of two types of spiders that show up in households, both not technically dangerous for humans, but arachnophobia. luckily, the less scary looking ones actually eat the scary looking ones so we just keep them around. spiders are good sometimes c:
Marjolein is so real, I have bunch of spiders around too.
This was amazing. I love these guests, more podcasts should have chaotic spider witches on their roster
More Scottish witches please
Milo I know you're going to read this but you need to fix you Québec accent and I have the movie for you: Elvis Gratton 2: Miracle à Memphis it has scenes where he speaks english and french basically at the same time, it's perfect to drill diction. it's up on youtube in like 480p like God intended

P.S. Congrats on your coming nuptials, Riley. As is so often the case in England, the marriage laws are incredibly stupid. Try Scotland or the Channel Islands.
Is it really an episode of Balthasar Speedboat without the reverse theme song and the stilted introductions as an outro? I know Riley opened with a "so I like to use Google Maps" anecdote, but standards matter.
Marjolein please DM my house is infested with Spiders and I can acquire a Plague Doctor mask if required
So confused by your accents I thought you were talking about American NBA player Jared Butler
Purposely being vague about the details here for er legal reasons but I know someone who was given a honorary biker gang t shirt and engraved beer tankard for treating one of their members. They were invited to the clubhouse for a social but for probably quite obvious reasons didn’t go. The biker gang also warned them to not wear the t shirt in the local town incase they wondered into rival territory.
They were also very apologetic that they couldn’t give them a full colours shirt but that would require an initiation.
This episode's a wild mix of English accents

There is a streaming channel that plays all Heartland, all day long. I have a neighbor who I chill with on occasion, and he almost always has it on. They really are the most, family values milktoast series I have ever seen. In one epidode they're cabin got robbed, and the asshole father spent the whole time blaming a bunch of minority teens for it, even 'subtly" telling one of them who was invited by his daughter to dinner that hes a forgiving guy and 'someone' should just return it. Later a small child helps him find out that it was traveling Carnies and that the stolen stuff was at a recent pawn shop. When the owner tells him it was an old guy who sold him the stuff, he didn't believe him, sure it was the teens until proven otherwise. Then the episode without him taking any responsability for his actions, despite nearly driving the person he accused to leave the town. Dogshit show.
They also had another 'we were robbed' plotline, only this time it was done by a poacher looking for some information one of them had. really weird show.
