How did cannibalism start among the survivors?
I took it.
I was going to go. Thankfully, last second, right before. I mean this. In the seconds before we were going to record, I was walking out. You guys were trying to stop me. I just got the contract in from the NSA. I'm locked in for another 10 years.
Nice. Wow, so you're with them now. Yeah. All right, great. Perfect. And to all of our listeners out there, keep fighting the good fight, you motherfuckers out there in the horrible landscape that we find ourselves in at this very moment. Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name's Marcus Parks. I'm here with Henry. Hey. NSA Zebrowski. And let me just tell you, we're listening.
What? We're holding space for the American people.
Don't the people of the NSA have to shut up?
Yeah, that's kind of... Sometimes, if you make so much noise, you make people think they can't be heard. Yes, yes.
And the man asking the logical questions here, Ed Larson.
Hello, yes, and I believe in God now! Because I have to legally, apparently.
You know what's really funny about this story is that it's really going to stress that.
Yeah. You're going to see a lot of parallels in this story. But before we get back into the tale of the Batavia, we'd like to clear something up that confused us back in episode one. Yeah. If you'll remember, before Upper Merchant Pelsart was put in charge of the Batavia, he had accidentally contributed to the death of a noblewoman in India when she drank a bottle of clove oil in his room just before they had sex. Yeah, it happens. Every day. Yeah, and we had no idea why Pelsart would have a bottle of clove oil present. But a helpful listener filled us in. Remember that Pelsart was a horny little devil. Yes. And apparently, clove oil has been used for centuries as a sexual lubricant. Okay. Particularly for anal sex.
So that's why you used the term that the listener filled us in.
Yes.
Unintentional pun, but I like it. I'm packed, jammed with information in my ass.
That makes sense, yeah. And sailors love anal sex, historically. Well, clove oil is slippery, and it's a natural analgesic. Am I pronouncing that right? Analgesic? Analgesic? I don't fucking know. I don't know. Fuck juice. Yes, thank you, Eddie. Well, that means that it numbs whatever tissue it comes in contact with. These properties make it among the best anal lubes around. And in fact, clove oil is still used in anal lubrication products today. The preferred brand for many being Swiss Navy, or so I've been told.
And you know how much the Swiss love holes.
That's the Dutch.
Well, oh, but did Swiss. Oh, but you said the Swiss Navy.
Yeah, the cheese.
Oh. It's a cheese joke.
I was thinking about sticking fingers in the dykes.
Yeah, I was thinking about ass sex. I was thinking about fucking ass and mouths.
Yeah.
You can do that. Yeah. I do think what's also nice about clove oil is after you're done doing it, right, and you fucking, you ram or jam, right, either the little cabin boy or the noble woman there. Either one, yeah. Right afterwards, she smells like Christmas. Yeah. Wow.
