Balthasar Speedboat: Milk 2

It's nothing but riffs. And Riley explaining Canadian bag milk again, this time to comedians Tom Ballard and Luka Muller. There's also a long digression about the Australian soap opera Neighbours, and how Australia can never truly rid itself of it because of the dogged, ferocious dedication of British Neighbours fans, in Britain. We hope... that you enjoy.

There are a bunch of remixes of “Padam Padam” on Spotify if that is at all helpful Riley

As a non Anglo European this episode was truly amazing. Greetings from the burning peninsula. (40+ C this week)

Surely the more american listeners is just due to there being more americans overall?

Northern French food is garbage and more people need to say it. It is way too heavy. Provençal food though, next level shit.

Riley did you perchance spend time on Ishkur's music guide way back?

Man, if I produced the Cocaine/ket for Muller instead of milk I might actually make a living!

Now I know there’s a large Canadian Tiger Cat who shares my Leo 🦁 bday!

The bit milo does about the sniffing detective is a real show, its Russian/Ukrainian . Нюхач? "The sniffer" I watched it a long time ago because the premise was very "good".

In honor of Riley's heritage I'm gonna try poutine at the only Canadian-style pub in my city. I will probably hate it but food is food

Riley has forgotten a couple of the best parts of the Bones JFK episode: - It's not THE Carcano, it's a precisely made exact replica that is held in a secret basement cabinet that's never referenced before or after. - Part of Booth's motivation is that he's a descendant of John Wilkes Booth and so he has complicated feelings about presidential assassinations?

this Booth backstory is incredible

“Nat Has Herpes” is up on the roadsign at a bridge over Margaret River, as well as around Perth years prior, any other sightings ?

The Canadian National anthem revealed to be Riley’s origin story for songs without lyrics

Mentioning Bones to someone who has never heard of it and not including the time they get hacked when they scanned bones is a sin

The CFL has some wild names beyond the ones covered in the episode. There used to be a team named for Teddy Roosevelt's cavalry unit in the Spanish-American War, but that's not the current team in Saskatchewan with the same name. There's the team in Winnipeg which has nothing to do with Mega Man, and Toronto's team is named for some posho thing from the 1800s that doesn't own the team anymore. (A private members' club?)

Also, /Riley/, just because nobody spoke French down by you, doesn't mean that nobody did. (I'm from five hours up from Riley, in Ottawa, which is basically attached at the downtown to Quebec, via Gatineau/Hull)

Also in support with Riley not knowing current music in the other direction, I sincerely thought for a long time that Kylie’s PADAM PADAM was her covering the Edith Piaf song from the 40s.

wait, have there been new episodes of Boney Island Mindfish? did it get moved to a higher patreon tier?

Andrew Davis · August 10, 2023

They only did an episode or two for Criminal Minds, I think.

Milo sounding more and more Australian by the minute

it's wild to see the three decades of Britishness further and further eroded as the episode goes on

My dad loved Water Rats, which was about the Sydney Harbour Police. Man also watched McLeod's Daughters for the scenery.

Came to write there is a Ukrainian or Russian procedural about a detective with a great sense of smell

The Sniffer, and it’s Russian

For the beautiful Speedboaters, this is the second episode with a discussion of London nightclub FOLD, and at least the second where Riley has mentioned having a tenuous connection to Neighbours. (Feel like it's more than that.)
