why did I tell you?
You already know.
I don't know,
maybe because there's viewers watching, mate.
He got really angry
by the fact I just said
he's bored of spending time
with his friends.
That's pretty crazy from you.
I don't know.
Euros, man.
Yeah.
No, he went there for a brand deal.
No, he got paid in pounds.
Yeah, I understand.
He got paid a hefty amount.
You could have went and had the time of the life.
How did you get paid, Theo?
Keep this in.
Tell us how much you got paid.
Go on.
No.
Can I have one guess and you say higher or lower?
Yep.
Is that fair?
Yeah, it's fair.
20 grand.
So much higher.
Really?
Obviously not.
Higher or lower?
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine can you imagine can you imagine
horror lower
well lower
oh well low
yeah
I reckon I know
that's how much
he values your friendship
by the way
did you get
did you get accommodation
that paid as well
yeah yeah
it was really nice
I reckon you got
I reckon you got
that 10 grand
I got to see
I got to see
Ronaldo
and Mbappe
seeing it
no
but you say this right I'm gonna carry on my story loads of people didn't go to it Chip and Mbappe seeing it no but you say this right
I'm going to carry on
my story
loads of people
didn't go to it
Chip and Will
literally were crying
the whole time
let me finish the
fucking story
Brian
I don't blame you
for not going to that
to be fair
yeah
go to the Euros
I don't blame him either
you have that trip
you don't go on
holidays all the time
how many times
can you go to the Euros
exactly
this is a fucking joke
it wasn't exactly
that was it?
Anyway, yeah, so every year we play...
Is the garden going to be ready?
Every year we play Fantasy Premier League.
Don't matter.
My good dwarf.
Every year we play Fantasy Premier League
and currently there are 12 members in our league.
Yeah, big league.
As of 23, 24.
High rollers.
Now the bottom three have to pay
for a trip that the rest of the group go on.
And the forfeit and said payment is £5,000 each if you finish in the bottom three.
But, Reeve, who are the bottom three?
The bottom three, in order from last to 10th in the group,
were Calux, KSI, and Mr. Harry Lewis.
Yeah.
Is that the three is that like the three
wealthiest people
of the chat?
That's probably like
potentially.
Yeah.
So it would show
that it meant less to them.
Do you understand now?
You know when we went to
No, but they didn't lose
because they didn't care.
No, they were right.
It wasn't the stakes
weren't so high.
Harry,
these five grand
third gauges.
That's not a fair assumption.
Everyone in that chat
cares a very large amount. It's also the principle of losing. Yeah, it's not a fair assumption everyone in that chat cares a lot
it's also the principle
of losing
it's not even the five
grand
the five grand's irrelevant
if you finish bottom
three it's pride
the worst was Harry
because he was actually
doing really well the
entire season
then a month ago me and
him just swapped places
and he just was forever
in the bottom three
capitulation needs to be
studied
it was kind of wild
downfall
that's why that Leicester
game when Arsenal won
5-0 was one of the best days of my life you why that Leicester game, when Arsenal won 5-0,
one of the best days of my life.
You should do draft next time because you get a trade with each other.
It's so fun.
Nah.
Anyways, carry on.
Yeah, it was a great trip.
Where did you go?
We went to Greece.
Whereabouts?
We went to the coast of Greece,
mainland.
It was Romanos.
Don't know if you're familiar with that area.
So let's just start.
Who's there?
It's kind of like southwest.
Who's there with you?
Eight of us went.
So everyone in the group, apart apart from i will mention the names uh ksi luxe theo and bez didn't go so the people that did go were myself
joel cal harry randy chip will and christopher it. But it ended up being a golf trip,
which everyone didn't really know what.
And I heard there was,
I knew about this golf trip.
I knew that it was a golf trip
because Cal organised it, right?
Right.
And it turns out the place they went to in Greece
is like pinnacle.
It's one of the best golf resorts in the world.
So no, but.
No, no.
Cal told the golfers to take the clubs.
He messaged the golfers
privately saying,
take your clubs.
Meanwhile,
Chip and Will get on the flight
and see what?
They see a golf club.
Oh, that's actually...
I don't think they did.
They didn't see the golf club.
No, not until they...
They found it in Greece.
Yeah, when we arrived
and everyone was rolling out.
Who were that like?
Yeah, because we all arrived
at the Heathrow
at different times.
Oh, that's happening. Why would they not tell him? Because they wouldn't... They would say no because they don't play golf. that like we all arrived at the Heathrow at different times so why would
they not tell him
because he wouldn't
they would say no
because they don't
play golf yeah
exactly I can't
lie as one of the
people in the group
that do play golf
and I didn't take
my clubs but I
rented a set out
there it is the
best course I've
ever played
by the way he
just just brag
just just do it
just do it
just do it
it's for the pros.
So we played a round of 18.
We played like best ball on the whole.
So if you weren't,
like if you didn't get a good score,
it didn't matter because your partner would,
you know, take the reins.
And it was me and Harry versus Callum Randy.
I made five birdies.
And I went round in like nine over par
Jesus
what the
I had three
I had three
I had three triple bogeys
how did you do that
it was like 79-80
is that you playing
at your peak
79-80
something like that
I was using a set
that I'd never used before
that's very good
yeah
so is it
maybe you were just
thinking less
and just
hey not my set
yeah I was just
enjoying it
and I actually
played really well
he used
my driver which he's in love with you'll love that set. Yeah, I was just enjoying it and it actually played really well. He used my driver,
which he's in love with.
You'll love that set.
I didn't,
I only used it three times.
But you love it.
Yeah.
The whole set.
Because of how,
this gives you an impression
of how bougie.
Because it's Theo.
Yeah, it wasn't my driver.
It was Theo.
You're trying to give me
an impression of how bougie
the place is, right?
He used my driver in Leicester
and he was literally cream-pying over it.
Have you thanked him for your best score?
I'll do it at the end of this.
That's not what I say.
This just gives you an impression
of how bougie and, you know,
operatural on the place was, right?
Clubs, rental-wise,
were completely free for residents
and they gave you a whole
tailor-made QI 10 set of clubs.
Which as a bag is about three and a half grand, probably.
How expensive is it to be a member there, do you reckon?
I don't think you can.
Is it for hotel resorts?
Yeah, hotel resorts.
Oh, right, got you.
Or locals.
Locals, yeah.
The rest of the area was so derelict and barren.
But like, it's literally like a...
Did you go out, was there stuff to do there?
What did you do?
Start us from the
airport daddy
give us the goal
the whole time
yeah
so Chip and Will
just had to sit there
and wait for you
to play a goal
yeah
that's bad
that's fine
there was a beach
club we went to
on the first day
which was quite nice
and then we did a
yacht day on the
second day
what did that
do while you
played a goal
I don't actually
know I think
just chilled at the
hotel
so you land in
Greece
you land in
Greece at what
time
we land in Greece at like 6pm, I think.
And obviously you survived the flight
on like last year where we almost died.
Yeah, it was a really good flight actually.
Oh, by the way,
yeah,
all of the boys got a free upgrade
to business class
and I was just left in economy on my own.
Why didn't you?
Because one of the people at the front
knew who all that they were.
So why were they not get you as well?
Yeah, so they were like,
hey, this is pretty good for you all.
Admittedly, I bought an extra legroom seat,
so I wasn't that bothered anyway.
But they literally got pulled
from the back of the plane
all the way to the front.
It's not really no man left behind in this.
Yeah, and they were just walking past
and saying, Chris, Will, and...
Yeah.
So you've slinked two people at the hotel
from the offset
then they fucked you off
just so they could get
a nicer seat
no they
no no no
they got upgraded
by the staff for free
because they knew
who they were
you're not going to say
no to that are you
they were like
oh we're big fans of you
I thought you were
leaving one minute
with them
okay
I was going to say
we were all sat
in different positions
on the plane
like no one had
orchestrated booking
it together
okay so they read out the name
or not read out the names
but like
instructed a cabin crew person
to go and get the names
of blah blah blah
maybe because you weren't
written down as Reeve
it was Oliver
yeah that must have been it
right guys
and then how do they find out
about the golf trip
it was kind of immediate
because when
yeah when the
when the
it wasn't even that though it was kind of immediate because when yeah when the when the giant it wasn't even that
though it was when
other people
on our flight
were all getting
their golf bags
and being like
what have we come to
and then realised
oh my god
this is actually
just a golf destination
they legit had no idea
yeah because no one
really read the chat
properly and just
presumed that Cal
would sort it out
for everyone
and he did
admittedly
did Cal put it
in the chat
the hotel was
absolutely incredible.
But for people that don't play golf,
it was a horrible place to be,
I reckon.
So were Will and Chip fuming?
They were when we drove
into the resort.
Because as you pass the entrance,
it's literally like hole, hole, hole, hole.
And Will was like,
what the fuck have we raved up, man?
So you get there Thursday night
Friday
you play golf
Friday
yeah I had no plans
to play golf
sorry I had no plans
to play golf
this is from the England game
my voice anyway
I had no plans
to play golf
and then
it was a three ball
three ball of Randy
three ball of Randy
Harry and Cal
who
they were the only people
that brought their clubs.
Chris didn't bring his clubs,
even though I'm pretty sure
he knew about it
being a golf resort.
And they were like,
oh, do you want to come play?
I was like, oh yeah, why not?
I've only got Air Max ones
and you know,
a semi golf shirt.
I'll give it a go.
Went to the course,
which was actually
a 20 minute taxi away,
but still part of the resort.
What?
Because there's like
six or seven golf courses
as part of the same resort.
Sounds heavy.
But the one that we went to
was like the pinnacle of the resort
called the Bay Course
and it was absolutely fucking insane.
They charged me 40 euros
to rent the clubs
and I went,
oh my God,
that's so cheap.
I don't mind doing that.
It's good, isn't it?
And then when I finished my round,
they were like,
oh, we didn't realise you're a resident. It's free. Let me refund you. No. I don't mind doing that. He's good, isn't he? And then when I finished my round, they were like, oh, we didn't realise you're a resident.
It's free.
Let me refund you.
No.
I was like, no way.
Let's go.
So it's just you four playing golf.
So Chris didn't play golf.
Chris didn't play golf
because he's got a shoulder injury.
So they were just sort of such,
like what, round the pool?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what they actually did.
Oh, so it wasn't that bad.
It was four and four.
That's all right.
Yeah, at the end of the round,
we went to the beach club.
Not the bleach club.
We went to the beach club,
which ended up being right next to
where we were playing golf anyway.
So all the boys had to come to us.
But it seems like we orchestrated that,
but we really didn't.
Was there any point put in, like,
the general chat that the hotel
that they're going to,
like, they could have just looked
if they wanted?
Yeah, absolutely.
I looked at it and didn't realise
it was a golf resort
because it is kind of the link i would look up the yeah on the the way the hotel's presented is
it's so bougie that like it the golf is just a footnote but for people that are searching
they know it's a golf course so actually it wasn't that bad because you four went to play
golf and the four of them at the hotel drinking and bathing by the pool probably yeah that's what But for people that are searching, they know it's a golf course. So actually, it wasn't that bad because you four went to play golf
and the four of them
at the hotel drinking
and Bevan by the pool.
Probably.
That's fine.
No, but they had no,
they were on the resort.
They were hoodwinked a little bit
or quite largely actually.
So you played golf on the Friday.
Yeah.
Great time.
Bit bevy at the beach club.
Did you get a bit raw?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were like
just swimming in the pool
drinking drinks.
Any gossip happen
no
not really
go on
we came back and watched
anyone slang in dick
no arguments
no drunken fights
any beef
any
oh no there was
here we go
there's a few single
so we were all quite
I wasn't drunk
but there were a couple people
that were slightly drunk
after the beach club
and then we went back
to watch Spain Germany because that was the Friday evening.
And bear in mind, in Greece, we're like two hours ahead.
So that would have been seven o'clock for the first game.
Anyway, they weren't showing the games on the TV.
Like there was this giant projected TV in the middle of the square where the resort was.
But it was just because it is a family-friendly resort.
They were showing like Adele and George Michael michael and stuff like concerts which is weird so you had to go to
a specific room in one of the yeah it was like it was it was genuinely like a i don't know it was
like a talk you know where they hold talks but that the ceiling was yeah a conference room but
the ceiling was massive so it made no sense um and it was really dark and anyway
we all arrived someone out of the group arrives absolutely battered we're like well i'm gonna
you can guess i mean harry yeah and we were like how has this happened he wasn't even drunk like
what's going on and it was only until the day after on the Saturday that we found out that he basically like drank all the bottles of wine
in his mini bar before coming to the game.
Why would you do that?
He went home early at like 9pm before the Portugal-France game as well.
We all had dinner and like watched the game.
That's so Harry though.
Drinking all the wine in the hotel room, watch the game and go to sleep.
Is he supposed to be like a nasty drunk?
I've seen on videos.
No, Harry's great. Harry's a lovely
drunk. He's a very touchy-feely drunk.
I've seen on the Chris
video where the order delivers
and get drunk where it's like when he gets to a certain level
he can just like throw out a pencil. Yeah, when he's a certain
level of intoxicated
he does like attack your
insecurities. And he's an
unbelievable person at doing that.
Like you come away from a conversation with
him like borderline crying did uh was chris doing the whole like uh how drunk are you out of 10 i'm
a five out of ten today no no he didn't do that what does the always go you strike me as a guy
who counters beers no that's what chris does oh is it yeah no i don't think was chris uh
chris is good was he letting loose
on the old women
no
it wasn't really
that kind of place
to do that
oh he's a single man
there's a few single
ones out there
yeah
Will and Chris were
oh William of course
he's in Randy as well
yeah he is
yeah yeah
actually three of them
but it was
it was not the resort
to do that
it wasn't like
a pick up destination
a really nice
golf resort.
No matter where you are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well.
So, the Saturday then.
Saturday was...
Hungover?
A bit sore heads?
Or were you right?
No, everyone was fine
because we went to bed
kind of during the Portugal-France game.
Because everyone was like,
it's a bit boring.
There's no place to watch it.
We're having food
and we're quite tired.
And everyone reserved themselves
for a yacht day the day after.
You can tell they're
30 now can't you?
That's midnight for us
though.
That was midnight.
No but we had to get
a transfer to the
We had to get a
transfer to the yacht
at like 9am.
We had to get a
transfer to the yacht because we had to get an early night's
kip
because we had to
get the yacht
tomorrow
Daddy Cal
hired us
really expensive
yachts
we go drinking
the Mediterranean
sun all day
that's why people
went to bed early
yeah
yeah but you
can't reach the
footy
but you can
have an early
night if like
oh you know
we've got to
go to work
if you're getting
on a yacht
where you've got
a nice react
you can lose
some sleep
no no no
I mean that's a fair comment but like if you're in a group of people
when like two or three people start to leave and call it a night everything just dissipates anyway
so you just like the leaders went to bed like money went to bed see the leader obviously the
bottom three paid for it right yeah yeah but it was split across do they pay for everything while
you're there as well no no no no
so what they've paid for
is just
flights accommodation
and then
I swear you didn't even pay for
you paid for own flights
yeah
so what do they pay for
uh they
pretty much the accommodation
mate to be honest
which is obviously expensive
isn't it
do they pay for the yacht
uh contributed I think
yeah
fucking hell
I got a question
do you know how like
in friend groups
you have like the
like the hierarchy
and the roles
you said Cal's the leader
so like who fills what role
in that sort of
group setting
like who's the victim
I weren't there
yeah
has it got passed
on to someone else
no it really didn't
actually
no you can't replace
the victim short term
no no
I mean like
on those holidays
he might as well
have been there
in that
I will say this
you know what
you know what by the way
I will say this
I will say this
you caught so much air time
that trip is unreal
why
I wasn't even there
and I was living rent free
in their head
that's how much they miss me
how
all the messages were about me
every yeah
all I know
they were talking about me
all the time
I wasn't I know they were and it me all the time. I wasn't.
I know they were.
And it got to a point where I was like,
guys,
we're actually giving him that much air time.
That's what you want.
All Chip did on that entire holiday,
right,
was stay on his phone messaging stuff about me.
I swear to God,
that's all he did.
Chip loves it though,
doesn't he?
That's all he did.
I was like,
are you going to get off your phone
and enjoy your holiday?
You're just going to,
am I going to live rent free in your head?
It was a case of everyone like,
you know,
sipping their cocktails and stuff. Oh, they were trying to be like, because you weren't there, like, oh mate, you feel bad. But I wasn't there, so I going to live rent free in a red? It was a, it was a case of everyone like, you know, sipping their cocktails and stuff.
Oh,
they were trying to be like,
cause you weren't there.
Like,
but I wasn't there.
No,
but not even that.
We were just sitting around having drinks and people.
No,
not even.
Yeah.
In real life conversations and people just going,
fucking hell,
isn't it great?
There's no,
you might be the main character.
It's funny by the way,
do you know what they're doing?
They're projecting.
Yeah. Cause they know that if I was there
they'd be having
the best fucking time
I bring the vibes
I even had a text from Cal
by the way
on that Saturday morning
going man I wish I was here
I wish you were on the tunes
on the yacht
on the tunes
the victim role
is an important role
to play in the group
it's usually the most
loved person
I know it is
because
remember the yacht day
we had in Croatia
last year?
Yeah.
My God,
DJ Baker was on fire.
To be fair,
I'm glad that
Kyle said that
because I played
the closing set
on the yacht
and it was
fucking
popped off.
Tomorrowland?
Yeah, very much so.
A GN radio we call it.
You like the father figure?
Yeah, people come to me when there's issues going on i think was there any issues going on no no but
there was like it we had like a little discussion you know of like oh who would you do for blah blah
who would you do for that and then um everyone went oh who would you go to like in your time of
need and then people would go oh not you not you not you and I think I'd actually go what a great what a great friendship
group that is
yeah we'll already
go to you mate
people went
like
I think five out of the
seven were like
I think I'd go to you
really
and I was like
man that's so hot on me
so yeah that's why
the part of the thing
is hot
so on the yacht
I'm hearing there was
a few people getting
a bit sick on the boat
no just Chip
I think was a little that's what I heard seas the boat. No, just Chip, I think, was a little unwell.
That's what I heard.
Sea sick?
Yeah, he wasn't himself until after dinner.
It's awful, Matt.
There's nothing worse than being sea sick on a boat.
I've never got it.
I got it on the ferry from Dorver.
It's motion sickness, isn't it?
Ferries are huge.
It's proper sea sick.
Ferries don't move, do they?
I'd like this.
Not only. Well, the water's fucking soft, isn't it? So it's proper seasick fairies don't move do they I'd like this not
oh my
well the water's
fucking soft innit
so it's gonna move
what
the water's soft
what did you just say
well the water
no he actually is right
but not in this context
there is soft water
and hard water
yeah
but not
not in the relation
that's not hard
that's ice
no no no
you can get like
soft and hard water
hard water
basically the softer the water the Basically, the softer the water,
the more expensive the water is.
What about the sea?
No, no, no.
Yeah, in the context of what he said,
it's bollocks.
So you think there's water
I can probably feel a bit more?
No, I'm not even joking.
You can taste when a water is soft or hard.
Can you chew it?
Lewis.
No, if you have like...
I'm going to set you. You could chew water. I'm going. Can you chew it? Lewis. No, if you have like hard, I'm going to set you.
You could chew water.
I'm going to give you
a program to watch
and next week
you're going to come back
and tell us what
you've learned from it.
Okay.
And I'll tell you that
it's a program
by Zac Efron
on Netflix.
Oh, the way.
Yeah, and one of the episodes
is about water
and it's really interesting.
So you need to watch
this series with me
and come back and tell me
what you've learned.
You watch programs on water. It's really interesting. So you need to watch this series and come back and tell me what you've learned. You watch programs on water.
It's really interesting.
Anyways, we're getting off track.
How was the boat day?
Did you have a good time?
Did you have a laugh?
Did you jump in the sea?
Yeah.
What was the sea like?
Really clear?
Was it warm?
We went to a couple of pull-ins
where you could swim
to the beaches and stuff.
It was only really me and Harry
that did that.
Chris did it as well.
Oh, that'd be class.
Yeah.
What's happened?
What are people doing on this trip?
No, people would jump off the boat
and stay near the boat,
but it was like...
No, you've got to venture off.
Like 150 metres to the beach.
Nah, you lot have definitely
missed out on me on this trip.
My God.
I wouldn't be there.
Nah, that's not...
Two people swam to the shore
out of eight.
No, in eight or so.
We're rallying the troops.
Come on, boys.
No, I would be.
No, you've got to go on the beach.
I would be.
It's like you're an explorer, isn't it?
You get to go and test it out.
Yeah, but how did you get there and then buy anything if you...
I think of what?
Tell me someone backflipped off the boat.
How did you go to the beach and buy something?
Did you have...
No, I didn't buy anything.
It's an empty beach.
Just a little land.
Tell me who backflipped off the boat.
Yeah, but you don't...
I don't think anyone did.
It was a very different yacht to the one we had in Croatia. No one backflipped off the boat I don't think anyone it was a very
different yacht
to the one we had
in Croatia
no one backflipped
off the boat
there wasn't like
a second deck
or anything to do that
I was going to say
you'd be fucking
I've got a really cool
video of me
backflipping off the boat
that would be so nice
you swim there
and you have a few beers
it's like Jersey
but nice
yeah
god this trip
sounds really
tame and 30 year old vibes it is a golf holiday golf holidays don't get yeah god this trip sounds really tame
and 30 year old
vibes
it is a golf
holiday
golf holidays
don't get
well actually
you're on a yacht
no you can't get
in the Mediterranean
golf holidays
is just an excuse
for all the men
to go out on a
holiday
although we
shouldn't keep
that in because
that exposes
golf holidays
are actually
really boring
we went to a
proper nice
golf holiday
thing and then
it was like a
proper nice resort
it was probably too nice for the group that we went with too proper nice golf holiday thing and then like it was like a proper nice resort it was probably like
too nice for like
the group that we went with
too nice
yeah it was like
we thought it would be just
it was just affordable for us
but it was like
posh people there
I don't actually even
want to tell the story
anyways
so you have this boat day
you all have like
a couple drinks
and everyone's feeling
a bit loosey crazy
couple drinks only
don't want to go too mental
no because everyone
was saving themselves
for the England game
fuck me
seriously
no no
so you save yourself
on the Friday night
for the yacht
but then when you're on the yacht
you're saving yourself
for the England game
no no no
and then let me guess
at the England game
you're saving yourself
for the fucking
turn to the Netherlands game
then you're going to
save yourself
for the flight home
people were
people were
people were drinking
throughout the day
but they weren't
doing it excessively
because a lot of them
didn't want to
forget the England match
there's nothing wrong with that.
Did you guys have fun on this trip?
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Sounds it.
You sound very jealous, mate.
You sound very jealous.
All day drinking to a point
where we can't remember anything
and then we lost.
Yeah, that's what I want to know.
So you obviously won on penalties,
by the way,
so it's pretty mental.
How mental did it get?
Did you go to bed?
It was pretty... We had dinner. Obviously it was quite late. How mental did it get? Did you go to bed? It was pretty...
We had dinner.
Obviously, it was quite late
for the time, right?
We had dinner
and it was a time frame
that messed you up.
You were jet lagged.
It was one of penalties.
All right, let's go for some tea, lads.
She goes on faster, lads.
No, he's hurt now.
Oh!
Oh, hang on.
Trent stepping up
get in
sushi
oh also
this is a
prawn tempura
the funny thing
about the actual
shootout or the
game was there
was like two
screens in the bar
that we were
watching it at
yeah and there
was one half
it was all English
fans and then the
other half were all
Swiss fans
no way
no you laugh
really
but the issue was
our TV started lagging out
and they ended up being
like a minute ahead.
Shut up.
And the entire Swiss side
celebrated the goal
before we even saw it happen.
So you had it ruined?
Yeah.
No.
Crazy.
Fuck off.
It's so annoying.
Man, that sounds mental.
Yeah, it was, man.
Was it limbs?
No, but not for us
because we didn't score
they did
but obviously
but then we scored
five minutes later
yeah because the TV
got fixed in time
and then we all celebrated
at the same time
and obviously you lot
obviously went mental
we did
yeah it was crazy
shit
but also in
in fucking Greece man
yeah yeah
like everything's double
they don't like football
over there do they
what the other day
like a European double
fucking hell what blows your head off doesn do they? So it's quite quiet. What? The other day. Like a European double.
Fucking hell.
What? Blows your head off, doesn't it?
What?
Like it's a double-double.
What's a double-double?
In alcohol.
Oh, okay.
When they pour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought you weren't drinking that much.
What?
What?
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about when you're drinking.
No, he's talking about when they pour a double.
Like that double's like half the glass.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
So people got
rapidly man
yeah
that's kind of sick still
oh so you
yeah they were pretty
wrapped up
so they weren't
angry for a while
they just got into it
and you had a
big session
yeah I think
everyone just had to
commit to the fact that
obviously England won
and you went for dinner
and then what happened
everyone had a few drinks
started watching the
Turkey Netherlands game
and then went to bed
cool man
there's nothing much
for us to do
what time is your
flight on a Sunday
3 o'clock
I said to save yourself
yeah
classic
when you go to a resort
there's nothing to do
when you're playing golf
do you drink on the round
as well
yeah the boys
got pretty drunk
yeah to be fair
nice
I've never
that is to be fair
it is great
it's soft yeah but you also play the game like there's a there's a really fine line yeah where
you have a couple and you you know you you're a little bit looser your swing's a bit more fluid
but over the edge of that you can't fucking hit a ball yeah also if you play the game of if you
neck a drink you take a shot off your score you gotta play it tactically oh that's a good game
no but you have to you have to neck it so if you say i want you take a shot off your score you gotta play it tactically oh that's a good game it's so fun
no but you have to
you have to neck it
so if you say
oh I want to
shot off this hole
you have to shotgun
the beer
at the start of the hole
and then like
if you're two three holes down
American man
but if you
if you play it tactically
you do the drinks
for like
hole 16, 17, 18
yes
you don't do it at the start
do you
when we
when we went to
pot a cup
if you know what a pot a cup is
no one knows
what that is
it's a pretty renowned tournament
it's basically the Ryder Cup
of a four hour
friendship group
so there's three of them
so there's two teams
and basically
the rule is
you have to make it
for the morning
you have to make it
for the morning tea time
no matter what state you're in
otherwise you lose
like a hundred shots
so it's like
a hundred shots yeah it's like 100 shots
yeah yeah
so like essentially
you go
we get fucking smashed
on the night
but you have to be there
at like 7am on the tea
you book early tea time
yeah because there's
two rounds you've got to get in
yeah
there's a lot
there's a big format you know
36 a day
for two days
no well you have
the practice round
then you have the doubles
then you have the singles
then you have the final day
stroke play
final day stroke play have you considered organising an you have the singles then you have the final day stroke play final day stroke play
have you considered
organising an event
on the PGA Tour
mate well
we'll get there
but I
there's a video of me
at 7am
for like the first
six holes
I was like
what was that
you were so drunk
at 7am
kicking off the pod today
he's in a weird mood
yeah
were you really drunk
at 7am
no it was just well yeah essentially very silly really drunk at 7am no it was just
well yeah essentially
very silly goofy mood
at 7am
just being sick on the hall
anyway
oh
that's enough
yeah well mate
there's a video of me
just like absolutely
just like torn to pieces
and like second hall
being sick
it's when it's hot as well
it's because on the night
on the night before
you didn't hold back
you went for it
you went crazy
yeah my mate was
had his clothes off
chasing me
booze yeah it was your mate had his clothes off chasing me booze
your mate was naked
chasing you
chasing me through
the hallways
you sure that wasn't
a dream
one of those
what was it
what dream
wet dream
oi
are you allowed
to be in Hamburg
no
well nice
yeah
very affluent
did you have a hamburger
no but I had
well too many sausages.
What the fuck?
Would you go to Hamburg and not have a hamburger?
Why would you not?
That's the OG, man.
You love burgers.
I had like a bratwurst and a hot dog.
You can get it anywhere in Germany.
Hamburg is where it originated.
I had a hot dog.
I had a hot dog, but the bun was tiny.
I just came out the other side.
I'll hate them.
Mate, I've waited till you see this.
But then the first mouth was just all sausage.
Oh, no, the whole
thing was sausage.
Shut that man off.
Jesus.
Is there a lot of
sausage on that trip?
Yeah, I've seen them
before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
These aren't like,
you haven't.
You were either at
that way or the
other way around.
Like a big bun and
a little mini sausage
in there.
You know what I mean?
That would be a dry
fucking food to inhale.
Anyway, that's enough holiday chat.
Should I go?
Oh, yeah!
See you in the magazine.
Philosophy!
Thanks, man.
I appreciate it.
I bring to you a couple of headlines or titles.
Title number one, Accidental Samaritan.
Number two, Our Future. future number three why did you
say it like that like that because it's a philosophy yeah philosophical three self-driving
cars four alternate naming or five child politicians which number do you guys want
oh have you seen that guy with the head well i think either samaritan wait wait wait did you
just say i'll go see that guy when the samaritan is a good one you just say you see that guy with the head. Well, I think either Samaritan or future. Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say you see that guy with the head?
Yeah, you know that MP up north?
Like all of us.
You've seen the MP?
North Buckethead.
He's got a big head, hasn't he?
No, I thought he had big hair, hasn't he?
Oh, no.
What are we doing?
Accidental Samaritan has been requested.
Okay.
This isn't based on a philosophy as such.
It's just more of a dilemma,
which is similar to the product problem we did last time. Okay time okay cool so one day on the drive to golf or a shoot or something
relevant to one of yourselves you totally by accident run over and kill an innocent person
crossing the street totally by accident as if it wasn't an accident because you might do making
sure yeah sometimes it was this one was totally on accident 100% it was. No, but you said totally on accident. Yes, because you're like 100% on accident. It was an accident, guys.
Yeah, because in relation
to the question,
it makes sense.
So, shush.
Or you run over a cat.
You pull over,
devastated.
You imagine life's over.
Oh my God,
what's going to happen now?
You get out your car
to look at the tragedy
and a woman comes running over
from her car,
totally distraught.
She thinks
she's killed the victim.
She is absolutely
100% convinced she did it.
The sentence is life in prison.
Would you let her continue under the impression she did
and get away without consequence?
Or would you let her know what happened
and you go to jail for the rest of your life?
But would you go to jail for the rest of your life?
No, that's part of the thing.
The question is...
I hate when you two try and make this like it's actually real
and we're talking like, oh, well, you could actually make a deal.
That isn't the question.
No, no, no.
He's giving you the options.
There's no poll.
One person goes to jail for that.
He's giving you the options.
I would say, no, I did it.
But the CCTV will show it as an accident.
No, oh my God.
It isn't part of the question.
But my car has cameras.
That's true.
Oh, we get it.
You've got a brand new Tesla.
What's she look like?
Does that make a difference?
Yeah.
Why does it make a
difference?
Do you think she's
good people and how
they look?
No.
It just makes a
difference in my
picture of the
scenario.
She is the
quintessential Karen
that you would want
to go to jail for
the rest of your
life.
Or she's Karen.
She's like a
random woman.
It makes no
difference.
She could be a
lovely old lady who
is totally convinced.
Or she could be a 19-year-old
who has the rest of her life ahead of her.
I'm going to be really honest here.
I'm letting her go to jail.
Yeah, I fucking knew that was coming.
Do you know how the three answers
I knew they'd be giving,
I knew that was coming.
I actually think 99% of people
in that situation
would let her take the blame.
Yeah.
I wouldn't.
Can we just say number one?
I promise you I wouldn't.
I would never be able to live myself if that happened. As bad as it sounds, that situation would let her take the blame. Yeah. I wouldn't. Can we just say number one? I promise you I wouldn't.
I would never be able to live myself if that happened.
As bad as it sounds,
everyone will look out
for themselves.
All right.
It's a dog-eat-dog world, man.
She must be thick, though.
Why does she think
she's killed him?
No, no, no.
No, no.
You have to make it.
No, you have to bring it
into real life.
You have to bring it
into realism.
Why does she think
she's killed him?
She didn't fucking hit him
with a car.
Her car's perfectly fine. She walks out. Okay, okay. What's happened think she's killed him she didn't fucking hit him with a car her car's perfectly fine
she walks out
okay
what's happened
I tell you what's happened
she hit him first
and he went bang
no I think what's happened
in that situation
she's hit something
maybe like a cat or whatnot
it's ran off into the distance
and then oh my god
someone's dead on the road
she's convinced
that she's hit something
and in her reality
that person is dead
can I ask a question
in the investigation afterwards does the investigation prove that and in her reality that person is dead. Can I ask a question?
In the investigation afterwards does the investigation prove that
if you said it was her
that it's definitely her?
So like they're not going to see
100%
They're not going to see her
part not getting in your car
and getting dead.
Correct.
In context of the question
one of you goes to jail
it's up to you
whether you choose to
or take the guilt
and do it yourself.
Yeah, she's got to do it
because eventually you get over it.
I'm just going to have to hold that.
So we've got two hold that's.
What have you decided?
I just think she's an idiot.
You're an idiot
for not understanding
the question.
I understand the question.
I honestly think
you would do the same.
I wouldn't.
I don't think I could.
If I killed a person
I think I'd be guilty.
You're saying this now, right?
Prison for the rest of your life.
That's not even
an accurate sentence.
I don't think you'd do that. sentence I don't think you'd do that
I really don't think
you'd do that mate
you're giving up
your relationship
your family
everything
your entire freedom
to know that I've killed
a human and got away with it
actually a big question
which prison
Wandsworth
because that really
does change things
a little bit
if it's Wandsworth
then yeah
win win
so what are you saying why Lewis I just got you're going to come visit If it's Wormsworth, then yeah, win-win. So what are you saying?
Why, Lewis?
I just got...
Your girlfriend come visit you.
It's because you could film
other people doing stuff, right?
You're going to cheat on your girlfriend.
You had an Xbox and all.
That video's terrible.
No, it's because you could
take your videography career
a little further, right?
You're a gangster, man.
All right, so what are you deciding?
Because I have an extension.
I don't think I could do it.
I think you would.
You'd go to prison with me. Nah, I always own have an extension. I don't think I could do it. And I think you would go.
I think that now I always,
I always own up to things.
I don't like.
No, I agree.
I'm thinking that you're better.
So here's the extension.
No, I don't think you think you're better than you are.
You go to prison for the rest of your life.
Well, if all the evidence I go off,
sometimes I've even recently I've spoke to people.
It's like, oh, that's my bad.
I'm like, no, no, that's on me.
And it's like, I don't.
That doesn't result in you going to prison for the that's my bad. I'm like, no, no, that's on me. And it's like, I don't... That doesn't result
in you going to prison
for the rest of your life?
I think when it comes...
In this moment, by the way,
when I'm making that decision,
you don't...
There's no fucking judge
there with a gavel.
Exactly.
No, but you...
I don't know it's prison life.
That's just the repercussion.
No, you do know that.
That's the hypothetical question.
You do know.
That's the whole hypothetical.
This is so unrealistic.
Well, it might be so,
but...
But, Lewis, this is what I think.
I don't think I could know.
When push comes to shove, when push comes to shove, everyone... Okay. No. That's the whole hypothetical. It's so unrealistic. Well, you might be so, but Lewis, this is what I think. I don't think I could know.
When push comes to shove,
everyone.
Okay.
Here's a change to
the question.
You don't know the
consequence.
Do you?
Then you take
responsibility.
I think I would then,
yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
But then the police
tell you that you're
going to prison for the
rest of your life.
Okay,
so here's a different
angle.
Actually, I don't know. Here's a different angle. You definitely fucking believe it. No, you're going to for the rest of your life. Yeah, but that's... Okay, so here's a different angle. Actually, I don't know.
Here's a different angle.
You definitely fucking
believe it, you twat.
No, no, no.
You're on about.
No, if they're good...
If she's claiming
she's done it,
the police are saying,
yeah, all the evidence.
I'm just going to go...
Okay.
You're not lying.
I'm not lying.
I'm just not saying anything.
Here's a different angle.
Because maybe I've gone mad
and she is right.
She did it.
She might be a prick as well.
Let's just look into this.
She actually might be
an awful person.
She could have people
in her basement for all we know.
Yeah, yeah.
What?
She could be a fucking murderer.
Could be.
She might have hoped that she did it.
She just killed him with a car.
I'm fucking blaming her.
She just killed the person
with a car.
Here's a different angle
to the question.
I'm killing her as well.
Here's a different angle
to the question.
It's not an old woman
or whatever comes over
and says that.
It's me.
No, I wouldn't do that.
I'm doing it, yeah.
Not with my friend.
Not for my friend or family.
Yeah, or your own mother.
Oh, Jesus, no.
If it's your mother
that came over and went,
oh my God,
Oli, I can't believe it.
Even if she had done it,
I'd probably try and take the blame.
Interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, but that's obvious, though.
Surely we hide the body.
Obviously, you're going to look out
for people you know and love
more than randomly.
Would you hide the body? Yeah, but you know and love more than randomly would you hide the body
yeah but you'd commit
you'd commit the rest
of your life in prison
to save
yeah but if it's
someone like you
I know you haven't done it
so I can't just throw away
all we've ever built together
oh you have to make it weird
you'd go to prison
can I just say by the way
if you
I feel like
if you came over
like completely certain
you killed it I'd be like maybe you did yeah I feel like if you came over completely certain you killed it,
I'd be like, maybe you did.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I'd believe you.
Not even trying to do it on over.
You've just seen yourself run to it on over, though.
He's mental, so he might have heard it.
I'd be honest with you, Lewis.
He's going crazy.
Lewis, I killed her.
I'm like, fucking Jesus, man, yeah?
I reckon we hide...
How about this?
Would you hide the body with each other?
What?
No, no, no.
Would you hide a body with me
no I'm just taking it
a step further
that's risky
yeah probably
I actually do love you
as that
stop talking
I honestly know how to do it
don't you mate
no don't give away your tips
I'm not going to kill anyone
if you were walking
down the street
yeah
then you just saw yourself
and it's yourself
from a parallel universe
that's got into
your universe
yeah
you're just describing
dark matter
go on
would you
speak to them
would you kill them
would you ask
kill them
I think I'd speak to them
I'd definitely find out
what they're doing
does it look like
they're up to something
you can't have two of you
like what are they doing
this person's come for you
he's trying to steal
your identity
how do you know
the motivation
well you can't have
two Lewis Bowden
in the world
can you
I'd just go back
through the books
have you not seen
the scene in the boys
where they suck
in each other's arsehole
sorry
what
I have but
I've not watched
don't ruin it
I've not watched
the latest seasons
oh
well he sucks
his arsehole
can I just ask
something though
you're going to think
this is mental
but it's not
okay
I'm not 100% convinced if was a hundred percent like another me i'd know that was 100 me
yeah because you don't you don't actually know what yourself looks like really oh that's you
really blow my mind here right now i'm looking at you right now but you have a whole life in
that head of yours that you don't know what you look like three oh fuck oh you don't you don't even know what you look like you in that head of yours that you don't know what you look like. Oh, fuck.
You don't.
You don't even know
what you look like.
You've only seen yourself.
You don't know
what you look like
from my perspective.
Yes, I do.
You don't.
I've seen a picture.
But also,
it's different.
Also, we've,
you know,
through the culture
and, you know,
living our lives
are convinced
that there's never ever
going to be another version
of ourselves.
So when you see that in person,
your instinct is to just reject the actual reality and go oh wait he looks a lot like me he's not
actually me wait what is that why you think i'm ugly because like you're seeing the film i'm seeing
i'm looking at my perspective my perspective i'm like that's a fucking handsome man but then from
your from your perspective i look like an auger i'm pretty sure it's a well-known uh or whatever
well-known fact
that you see yourself a lot better than others do because you'll look at yourself of course so like
like you look at yourself in a mirror really ugly so i've got a bent nose right but i'll look in the
mirror and maybe subconsciously turn my head so it doesn't look bent so i see myself like that
do you know what i mean you do have a bent nose yeah i do you don't have a bent nose you do it's
bent to the right i've never broke it but it's bent to the left you uh you always try and
see well you always overestimate your own abilities and everything as well well like if you take a
selfie one you're gonna look you're not gonna take yourself in a if it's shit you go i'll look shit
on that and then take one yeah you're always trying to make yourself seem and look better
than you are you're overestimate your ability and everything. People generally overestimate
how good they are at things.
Have you seen that?
Yeah, there's a statistic
for Americans
where I think it's like
four in every ten Americans
think they can beat a bear in a fight.
Or like there's one,
there's like a 20% think
they could win a set
off Serena Williams.
It's like, well, you probably couldn't.
Could you win a point?
No, unless you double fault I think
you don't even win a point
as if she makes a mistake
I don't think she gives us
the respect to even
serve hard enough
to risk it
you know what I mean
she wouldn't make a mistake
because
yeah she just played
so easy
I might get lucky though
no
unless she makes a mistake
yeah that's what
the lucky bit
would you put your life on it
no but if she smacks the serve
and I somehow
she's not going to do that she's not going to but look you can't pay 10 you've also you're the most Yeah, that's what the look would be. Would you put your life on it? No, but if she smacks the serve and I somehow connect perfectly.
She's not going to do that.
But look, she can't pay tennis.
You're the most uncoordinated,
unathletic person I've ever seen.
Yeah.
And you think you're going to win a point
against the best women's tennis player of all time?
No, I'm just saying I'm giving her something
she's not seen before.
It's like when KSI boxed her.
Yeah, a lot of people have seen that before.
She might give you a point or make a mistake
because she's laughing so much
okay first of all
on her serve
you wouldn't return
any of her serves
and then on your serve
you don't know how to serve
so you wouldn't get one in
so there'd be no points
no no no
because what I'd do
I'd line up
and then I'd go
oh god
how's she going to return that
I'm just saying
I'm terrible tennis
yes but I might get
that one lucky connection
no you wouldn't
this is why you're an idiot
because you you wouldn't know how to grip the racket properly to even get one lucky connection no you wouldn't this is why you're an idiot because you
you wouldn't know
how to grip the racket
properly to even get
a lucky connection
I've played tennis before
I'll beat you you prick
you wouldn't
yeah I would
I don't think you would
you wouldn't be able
to get yourself
across the court
I've never even seen
Theo play tennis
but I would put my life
on him being better
I would beat you as well
at 9 out of 10 sports
you'd have me at football
I played tennis
my entire life
you wouldn't
God you can tell
name the 10 sports what would you be you'd have me at football I played tennis my entire life you wouldn't God you can tell them name the 10 sports
what would you be
easily
you'd beat me at basketball
yes
balls
you would beat me at tennis
balls
but you're just naming sports
you're good at
or have played
I'm not going to
I could name
I could name one
if we did
if we did the
pick side
slash back side
decathlon
yeah
of sports
not
let's read the decathlon events that'd be close who comes out on top well let me do let's actually do If we did the pick side slash back side Decathlon. Yeah. Of sports not events.
That'd be close.
Who comes out on top?
Well let me do
let's actually do
the Decathlon.
Yeah we need to see
which sports are.
No not Decathlon.
Not Decathlon.
Let's just say
we all
let's just say
there's 12 events
we all contribute
three that we think
we're good at.
Okay.
Oh that's a good idea.
And then who would
come first?
Do you reckon?
I'm bringing basketball
definitely.
I don't know. I'm not asking what you're bringing because I'd bring golf and blah who would come first do you reckon I'm bringing basketball definitely I'm not asking
what you're bringing
because I'd bring golf
and blah blah blah
yeah but you can't say
who's going to win
because you don't really know
I'd say one of you two
probably
that's probably
overall
yeah
I'd agree
across the board
yeah
that's an interesting video
though isn't it
I think I'll win
you two have played
more sport
yeah
and also
Tom we have to bear
one thing in mind
you're not in the
conversation
childhoods where
I've always been
against someone
competitively to try
and you know
elevate what I've done
he's been running
for 10 years
and I beat his PB
in one fucking
week training
and he's
yeah they play
loads of sports
but the track record
is we can do his
sports in two weeks
and do better than him
he finished 25 minutes ahead of you.
Theo is athletic, though.
He's good at sports.
Yeah, well, is he good?
He went on it.
We didn't do running,
so he convinced us that he's good.
Racket sports, he's very good.
Lewis, you know we finished 25 minutes
ahead of you in that race, right?
Also skiing.
Skiing, he'd have us.
Yeah, he'd bring skiing into it.
That's another one for me.
Let's bring in the Tory sports.
But that's what you do
that's what you bring
what you're good at
bring in bowls
you just fucking said
basketball
basketball and bowls
right we're going to
play a pitchy then
what's that
pigeon toss
that's not a real
sport
do you want to play
a game now
that's not a real sport
it is a sport
of course it's a sport
where
where is it a sport
show me the world
championship
of pigeon toss
England where pigeon toss do you want a game the world championship pigeon toss pigeon toss
do you want to get him
we can play pigeon toss
I think you'd lose
at that as well
Lewis
pick the three sports
that you would compete
against us
basketball
pigeon toss
no you have to
real sport
here's a question
when you contribute
basketball to the
conversation
what kind of things
do you mean
like a game of 21
1v1
or like a horse
or what
I'd have you said any
of those no no I'm
asking the question
that isn't the question
um 100% basketball
definitely I think we
do I think we do
probably the 1v1
because I mean you
get done by me then
oh well you you
you'd not you'd not
stop foul you'd not
stop foul and get
just timed on I'm
why don't we play
game of horse for
basketball if you
haven't if you haven't played basketball half the people you don't know you'll just foul non-stop if you get just timed on why don't we play a game of horse for basketball if you haven't
played basketball
half the people
you don't
you'll just foul
non-stop
if you haven't
played football
in American football
I love how Lewis
is now talking
like he's a pro
I was two levels
below England
that is not that good
I agree
you should see
who was on my team
wait two levels
as in like
you played basketball
at school
no I was national
so you travel about.
Oh, you kept this quiet then.
Shit, you're actually alright.
No, but also,
you don't have to be
that good for England.
It's like being the best
in the world
at like pigeon tossing.
Yeah, I mean...
We're not going to
contribute curbing this as well.
Are there any professional
British basketball players?
No.
We're not professional, yes,
but not in the NBA, no.
There has been.
Not in the NBA? There's got to be a couple of British NBA players? No. We're not professional, yes, but not in the NBA, no. There has been. Not in the NBA?
There's got to be
a professional in the NBA.
The only...
Deng, Deng,
played for Miami Heat.
There's got to be.
No, but he would have got
a fucking normal...
No.
He was the starting centre
for Miami Heat.
How do you know that?
Because I've watched basketball
most of my life.
Really?
I'm just not very good at it.
You just said
not a single British person
made it to the NBA.
Not true. Not true.
Not properly.
They have bench bombers.
I've never heard of the skis.
All right, Lewis,
so you choose basketball.
What next?
So you're not letting me
out of Pidgey?
No.
That's not a sport, bro.
We've asked you for a sport.
Netball.
Fucking hell.
How do you even do that?
How do you even do that?
I'll match your water netball.
That's just one V1.
I can tell you what,
because that's not...
Netball is literally basketball playing horse. You wouldn't be able to do one V1. You can't fucking move. No, because it's that I can tell you what because that's that ball is literally
basketball playing horse
you wouldn't be able
to do one beat
when you can't
fucking move
you pick the sport
where as soon as
you get the ball
you can't fucking
move with it
it's a sport
right it's a sport
it's a sport
no no I know
but the game we're
playing is like
you stand in a
position
or throw the
ball at the hoop
yes we're playing
tactical
yeah we're changing
the hoop
I'm choosing my
strengths
yeah smaller hoop
no backboard
yeah yeah what next
what other things
do you throw stuff in
handball
I used to be
classing goal
on handball
I play handball
handball
but as a goalie
I used to go on
goal and sometimes
dribble out
Jesus Christ
right well you'll come in last in two of them anyway I'd beat you Zolman I'd beat you I used to go on goal and sometimes dribble out. Jesus Christ.
Right,
well,
you'll come in last in two of them anyway.
I'd beat you all,
man.
I'd beat you all
your own sports.
No,
that's fine.
That's your three sports,
all right?
And we're having
12 sports all together
and then we're doing Olympics.
Your three sports.
I'm trying to think.
Well,
you can't pick the same sports
anyway.
No,
you can't pick usually
the same.
I don't know what I'd pick.
You've got to choose football,
surely.
Well,
yeah,
obviously football would be one,
but I'm trying to think.
No, but you can be specific. You can do a penalty shootout. Yeah, no, I know. Oh, yeah, obviously what I'd pick. You've got to choose football, surely. Yeah, obviously football would be one, but I'm trying to think. No, but you can be specific.
You can do a penalty shootout.
Yeah, no.
No, yeah.
I'd say football would definitely...
I'm just going to pick the sports.
I'm not going to go into what I'd do.
I'd have football.
Should we just pick like kickboxing now?
Yeah, but how are we going to do...
We have to fight.
No.
Come on, Lewis.
We have to fight.
Let's be realistic here.
We're not going to play MMA together, are we?
Play MMA.
Play MMA.
Well, no, I'd just do...
Whoever survives the longest versus Conor McGregor wins. No, I'll just do Muay Thai.
Whoever survives the longest versus Conor McGregor wins.
No, we could just do a Muay Thai round robin.
Do you reckon if us four all fought Conor McGregor at the same time,
do you think we'd have them?
We're all dead.
I think we could take them.
No.
I think we could take them.
Obviously not.
If we rush them.
All it's going to do is rush.
I'm just mad.
No, no, no.
I think we fucking have them.
You'll get knocked out in one anyway.
No, I'd be tactically at the back.
You just have to stumble around them.
So you've done football and darts?
I've had football, darts and Muay Thai.
I beat you at darts.
You wouldn't beat me at darts.
I have beat you at darts.
I didn't bottle it in the...
You know I beat you at darts all the time.
You beat me in one leg.
Tom, can you pick a sport that isn't Muay Thai?
We actually might do this for a video.
Okay, sorry.
I'd have football, darts and...
What was I good at?
Probably tennis, actually.
Probably tennis. Oh, you can't pick that. Damn. Fine by me was I good at? Probably tennis, actually. Probably tennis.
Oh, you can't pick that.
Damn.
Fine by me.
I don't need to win every event.
I just know I'd beat him at that.
Yeah.
You two are probably all right at tennis,
but I know I'd beat him at some.
I'm trying to hedge my bets here.
Yeah, that's fair.
I know my three.
I know my three.
I don't know if one of them is necessarily a sport, though.
It probably is.
It's a game more than anything.
I'd go golf pool
and weightlifting
Olympic lifting
yeah
yeah that's probably
that's like bodyweight
I think I'd win
I think I'd win all three
so that's why I'm picking
that's interesting
that is a
I don't have anything
I'd definitely win that
Olympic lifting though
we should do it
off your own body
we're the same
don't we
fuck well i'm only picking sports i think i'd win that it would have to be pound for pound wouldn't
it it would have to be a weight because all you got to do is win your own and then be average at
the rest of them yeah well i've got tennis in the bag yeah but you don't even have to pick that now
so that's really another one that that serves you more of an advantage i just don't the problem is
even football like you will play
you have played and do football so anything can happen there isn't definitely i'd win that yeah
i think i'm pretty guaranteed to win the darts but then and then tennis i probably wouldn't even
win that i don't have really any sports i'd definitely beat you all up i'm still trying to
think of other spots i would go i would have chosen tennis and I can't choose football so I would go
skiing
yeah I think
you'd win that
obviously
definitely
I'd go
snowboarding
what would you
do for skiing
just like a
time trial
yeah downhill
skiing
speed eating
yeah
does it count
if you just
fall over
and then slide
you still wouldn't
catch
it's interesting though isn't it I wouldn't risk it now i wouldn't risk
i'm too scared if you want to see the pit backside olympics what else no come on thomas sing us in
what what is this fact
he's trying to think of a new jingle he tries to do a new jingle every week
the og was so good do you know your facts I can fact it off
with Louis B
and I really don't
need a wee
so I went
you just went
yeah nice
thanks for that man
I appreciate it
okay facts
so as always
I'd like to give you
some warm up fact
yeah
wet the tongue
wet the whistle
we're not allowed
our phones out though
because he says
we can't fact check
wet the tongue
okay so one day space won't exist it'll taste the fact for you it's classy the whistle we're not allowed our phones out though because he says we can't fact check wet the tongue okay
so one day
space won't exist
it'll taste the fact
for you
it's class there
so you have the
James Webb telescope
that's out there
it's very exciting
a very new telescope
that essentially
sees into deep space
and see the start
of the universe
is it because they
think the Big Bang
is going to then
come back
no
that's what happens
with entropy
there's a theory
that the Big Bang
that the universe
is always destined
to come back here
and explode in the
exact same way
I thought it's still
expanding
it is
it hits the wall
and then
it'd be pretty scary
though imagine
they're just watching it
and then all of a sudden
it starts saying
wait a second
it's coming back
am I right in saying
what you've just said there
so in this telescope
they can look through it
and see the beginning of time?
They can see the light
from the beginning of time.
So they can't see the explosion,
but they can see
what is essentially,
they can essentially see
the light,
some light from the Big Bang
that has been travelling
all that time towards us.
So how do they know that?
Because they can just measure it.
Prove it.
Science.
How do they know
they're not looking at a star?
Well, it can be a star. To give you a scientific reason as to why. No, no. Science. How do they know they're not looking at a star? Just... It can't be a star.
A scientific reason as to why.
No, no.
This guy on the mountain is looking through a telescope
and can see the beginning of time.
Well, the telescope's in space.
Tell me how that works now.
Because light travels, doesn't it?
It's taken that long for the light to travel.
So they see the light in the sky and go,
ah, must be the beginning of time.
No, you know how deep in space that you're pointing it to,
so then you can calculate how far it must be travelling.
Then you can calculate how long...
This one isn't that mental.
My sphere stuff is rock solid.
I'm just trying to figure out, like, figuratively,
how does that work?
I think this is how they do it.
They know where the point is.
I don't know.
They know where the point is.
They know how far it's then travelling,
so then by knowing how far it's travelling,
they can calculate how old it is, probably. They know how far it's then travelling so then by knowing how far it's travelling they can calculate how old it is
probably
they know how fast
light travel
so when I asked you
a simple question
you were talking about
a man on top of the mountain
like this
where is the telescope then
in space
oh it's in space
it's a satellite one
so it's not like
a Hubble telescope
it's similar to that
but it searches for
different kinds of light
which then lets it
expand further
so they built a telescope whacked on a station and put it up to space I but it searches for different kinds of light, which then lets it expand further. Wait, so they built a telescope, whacked it on a station,
and put it up to space?
I think it takes in infrared light,
and then it converts it into images.
Jesus.
So if someone's not there, where is the end of the world?
Don't you think people are so clever?
Yeah.
And then there's us.
It's actually mad, isn't it?
I'm sorry, yeah.
You want to know one thing, Tom?
Try and think about this, right? Try there's just like trees and like us and like we were just like
right you still am yeah okay fine yeah and now we've got bluetooth wi-fi we're living on a
building we've everything you see, right?
Next fact.
Don't you think it's crazy
that Wi-Fi's always been there?
You didn't even start a barbecue on the recent vlog, you know.
Next fact.
But how do you invent Bluetooth?
How have we gone from a forest...
I didn't finish this one.
I didn't get to the point of what that was.
No one cares.
Next.
You did get to Singapore.
So essentially,
essentially,
the universe is expanding away from us faster than the speed of light.
Right.
Which is abnormally possible.
You can't go speed of light, but it can expand faster.
That's a rule, apparently.
Yeah.
So essentially, what that means is after a certain amount of time, it's going to expand
so fast and so far away, the light will never be able to reach us.
So future generations on Earth will not actually see space.
It will just be, as far as they know, it didn't exist. You mean parts of space? No, not actually see space. It will just be,
as far as they know,
it didn't exist.
You mean parts of space?
No, not all of it.
So if enough time passes and it's accelerated that far away,
you won't see any space.
Where would the moon be?
That cannot be true.
What about space directly around?
Yeah, so all that's expanding.
So you think this is probably
thousands, thousands,
millions of years away,
but that's starting to expand quicker
and quicker
so it's going to go
faster than the speed
of light
so that's going away
faster than it can
come back
so it's never going
to reach us.
But our solar system
would still be within
our visual...
No, you see the solar system
I'm on about the universe
that you've actually seen
outside of Mars and planet
no, it will
because the stars
you see in the sky
aren't in our solar system
so therefore you'll see black the sky aren't in our solar system. Yeah, I know. So therefore, you'll see black.
The only remnants is what we have now.
You'll just see blackness.
But surely it'll be beyond the stars that you won't see.
But you said there's no space.
Yes, space won't exist.
Can I ask you a question?
But it will exist.
You're just saying we won't see it.
Lewis, you know space and it's expanding, right?
Yeah.
What was before space
so you like
say this
that's next week's
philosophy
no no no
say my hand
say my hand
so Reeve is
so listen
my hand is the edge of space right
so it's doing this
going further and further
and out right
yeah
so what's on this side
well that's what
that's the whole thing
are we just in a box
I think it's like white
what is it
it's like white
this is the theory is there was nothing and in a box? I think it's like white. What is it? It's like white.
The theory is a big bang,
there was nothing,
and then there was an explosion.
Why is that?
You can't really describe nothing.
Do you know what we can use?
We can use your wind analogy.
When you can't see anything.
What the hell was that? I think my brain just shut down
with a thought of comprehending what is.
That's existentialism.
I think about that shit so much, man.
I love space.
I'm going to go to space.
Anyway.
And hope you never come back.
Okay, so just want to hear about the Great Emu War.
The Emu War?
The Great Emu War.
Yeah, give me the Emu War.
Or Assassinated by the Sea.
Emu War.
Emu War.
Yeah, it's a good one, this.
Both of them are really good, to be fair.
Do you know what an emu is?
is this well researched?
yes
seriously
go on then
they're all well researched
what's an emu?
sorry what am I on about?
it's a bird
that doesn't fly
they're the biggest bird
aren't they?
well no
ostriches are the biggest
then probably an emu
no?
probably
so let me take you back
you should know
you've researched this
they're the same
one emu egg
is the same size
as 12 chicken eggs
isn't it
it's an ostrich egg
pretty big
are they the biggest birds
other than ostriches
what noise does an emu make
so
isn't that you
just pushing the microphone away
so let me take you back
to World War 2
it just ended
Australia
soldiers have returned home
and the veterans
are given land
on Australia.
Australia was involved
in World War 2.
Yeah, I think so.
World War.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.
That's not a good opener
to go.
Yeah, I think so.
But why would Australia
be involved?
Because of the Commonwealth.
The whole world
got involved,
didn't they really?
Okay, so
they come home
a long world war,
you know,
resources depleted
the Aussies
but yeah Aussie Aussies
Aussie Aussies
sorry
Aussie Aussie
the veterans
they get given
they get given some like farmland
balls in your biscuit tin
ah that's
sitting on the ground
with your finger out of your ass
bling bling bling
carry on
so they get given some farmland
in Australia
okay
as a present
yeah just so they can live a life
you know they can start growing crops and the veterans they go over there can they grow much in Australia okay as a present yeah just so they can live life you know they can start
growing crops
and the veterans
they go over there
can they grow much
in Australia
yeah
by the coast
I imagine
it's quite fruitful
no no no
it's a fucking desert
there isn't it
it's a fucking desert
isn't it
he said they grow crops
they grow crops and that
so they go out there
they start the farms
and you know
life's nice
life's good again
but little did they know they'd been given land
that was property of the emus.
Property?
What?
Wait, so the emus have, like, written up a document.
Property of the emus?
Wait, so, Lewis, emus have written up documents.
They've got a treaty.
Oh, fucking hell!
The king emu has a treaty with the Australian prime minister.
Right, let's get this straight about emus
because I know
people think of emus
wait no
at this time actually
the emus would have
a treaty with the
queen of England
so let's think of it
this way
emus right
they are a domesticated
animal now
people think of them
funnily
these are wild emus
who have came from
dinosaurs
they are not
animals
fucking domesticated
yeah but they're in zoos
so are lions
what are you
not domesticated
mate you don't go
around your mate's house
oh you're going to
bring out your pet emu
a wild pack of emus
is like a wild pack
of velociraptors
just in the modern day
so they're not
domesticated
they're not domesticated
I'm saying back there
let's just like
take them out of
today's ideology of them
back there
nobody thinks
they're domesticated
okay that's good
it's an emu
you're not going to
feed an emu
like it's morning
breakfast are you
so well this is a
thing so
emus run this land
and they're like
this is a sign of war
someone's came into
our territory
where's the kangaroos
and wallabies
I don't know
emus run them
out of town
this is emu property
property
so emus
essentially congregate
and they bring an assault
onto the farms.
They start eating all the crops.
They start tearing things apart.
They didn't even eat the crops.
They also had a meeting
discussing what to do next as well.
It was just an assault
to like,
you're on our land.
We're tearing this shit up.
So the veterans...
Coordinated attack.
Well, there's the pack animals
like velociraptors.
Yeah, yeah.
You're looking at the velociraptor
right here,
but where's it come from?
So Luke, what's the king emu said to the rest of his people? What's he said? He said, the pack animals like velociraptors you're looking at the velociraptor right here but where's it come from so Luke
what's the king emu
said to the rest of his
like people
what's he said
he said
these
these
humans
they're stealing our land
we must kill them
I don't speak in tongues
with the emus
but I imagine it's like
let's get these out
you know
they're taking our land
this is our livelihood
their ancestors are there
this is all they know
so
so the veterans right
they're having some
troubles the emus it's
like ruining their way
of life so they call
in the army and they're
like we have emus here
and they go fucking
hell yeah fair enough
it's australia
no the army be like
fucking hell mate we
just done world war
two
these were the army.
No, the veterans.
The veterans.
They're not in there.
Oh, no.
Yeah, you're right.
So when they call up the...
Sorry.
They call up the army and the army goes,
get out.
Get out.
As soon as they've just finished in World War II,
they immediately become veterans.
Yeah, you leave the army, you're a veteran.
And then they have to set up...
It's not instant.
They have to set up the farm.
They have to build. They have to plant the crops. I think you're forgetting the main point here, right? They And then they have to set up things. It's not instant. They have to set up the farm. They have to build.
They have to plant the crops.
I think you're forgetting the main point here, right?
They've just finished World War II
and the Prime Minister's gone,
get out.
You need to fight the emus now, mate.
No, no, no.
He's given them land that he didn't realise
was their property.
And then the new soldiers,
instead of fighting the Nazis,
they're fighting emus.
They're fighting for the Nazis.
But this is the thing.
You've just defeated the Nazis
and you think, yeah, emus, no problem.
But you wouldn't immediately become a veteran.
People go on more than one trip.
No, but some people...
One or two people.
No, a lot of people...
No, no, a lot of...
After the war...
Yeah, just being in the war,
you become a vet.
Mate, they literally fought in World War II.
A lot do.
Yeah, a lot of them.
But these ones didn't.
They were veterans.
Oh, right, sorry.
They were veterans
and they set up a farm.
This is months apart.
Maybe they'd done World War I.
They'd done World War I.
Yeah,
months apart.
That surprises me
because given
emus are birds,
you'd think that
they'd be alright
with vets.
Right.
Anyway.
Oh God.
So they call the
army.
Dead Eye!
They call the army in
and they're like,
they ring them up,
General.
And they're like,
G'day!
General, long time, g'day.
Look,
really appreciate
this land you've given us.
Slight issue.
We've got nothing left
for Birdie.
Slight issue.
Why don't you tell me
that actually it was owned
by the emu?
Don't be stepping on their toes.
The treaty says it's emu property
they've actually shown me
they've shown me the mortgage
and everything
like this is theirs
slight issue
I spent all morning
with an emu in my kitchen
looking over his papers
and I thought
these cannot be theirs
and they spent three hours
explaining to me
how it actually
is their land
yeah yeah
so what the fuck
is going on here
slight issue
horde of emus here
erm
they're coordinated
we need like
we need to get rid of them
they've got my house
surrounded
it's inbred in them
these are wild
pack of emus
it's like a horde
so
in the window
he's like
so easier
he's like
g'day
erm
g'day
can't hear
Yaro in the editing
he's like
goodnight
yeah no problem
no problem
we'll send the boys down
we'll get these sorted out
we'll get these sorted out
real quick
and nowhere to lie
the boys are going to come down
nowhere to lie
they deploy troops there
operation
on the land
for emus
yeah they're like
we're going to gun these down
this is going to be like
no fucking way
they didn't shoot them
no
machine guns they have machine guns right fuck off they wouldn't need a machine gun for that Yeah, they're like, we're going to gun these down. This is going to be like... No fucking way. They didn't shoot them. No, no, no.
Machine guns.
They have machine guns, right?
Fuck off.
They wouldn't need a machine gun for that.
They could be birds.
Wait, so they...
Surely they could just round them up and relocate them.
Just deploy the Australian military to shoot some birds.
So instead of herding the emus away, they just fucking...
That does not sound very ethical or morally right to me.
It's not.
It's very wrong.
I'm on the side with the emus.
And what you're seeing there is exactly what they thought.
They thought,
this is no problem.
Yeah, this is going to be easy.
Let's just do this quick and fast.
But they were too smart.
Yeah, the coordinates.
They're smart.
They've lived here for years.
Over a goal.
And number one,
no, they know the land.
They know the land.
They've lived there all their life.
Yeah, so what did they do?
They flew away.
Oh, wait, they can't then.
No, what did they do then?
They hid behind all the trees
oh no it's a desert
so all this time
the emus have been
it's just a wild pack
of stupid birds
in the middle of nowhere
they could have
easily destroyed them
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
it's the weasel
no no
all this time
they've been conducting
like assaults
on the night
shut up no I'm true they've been conducting like assaults on the night shut up
no I'm true
they're cutting
off the food
supply and
stuff like
food supply
to the military
that's been
rolled in by
what the
fuck
are they stealing
the people's
milk outside
their house
if you're eating
all the crops
there's no food
supply you're
putting the
struggle on
there
they know
it's a
desert anyway
they know
it's a
waiting game
so they're
just like
keeping
themselves
going
so the emus have set up a siege they've set up a siege not a siege they cut anyway they know it's a waiting game so they're just keeping themselves going so the emus
have set up a siege
they've set up a siege
not a siege
because they know
if they go ahead
on fight
they're going to get
mowed down
yeah you're not
going to win
so you have to be
clever you have to
cut off the food
supply you have to
harass them until
they leave the land
so they've set up a
siege then haven't
they
don't get me wrong
there were many
people who tried to
settle on emu land
and been scared away
be it animals or
humans and they've
won every war
like who like who it would have been like fucking land have been scared away be it animals or humans and they've won every war. Like who?
Fucking hell, man.
Like who?
It would have been like
fucking kangaroos
probably to give a go.
I imagine they had a few
I imagine they had a few snakes.
The thing is
this is completely true.
This is completely
fucking true.
It's mental.
The thing is
there's probably like
1% that's true.
It's completely true.
There's probably a farmer
had an issue with the emu
and then the army
had to come and help
and that is probably it.
Army rolls in,
machine guns and everything.
Oh,
don't believe that part.
They wouldn't need to do that.
Go on,
then what?
I've got the stats.
The emu's just stealing the guns.
It's like shooting bags.
The stats.
He's got the stats.
So,
army rolling.
Popping the tires.
It's like Planet of the Apes.
Popping up the tires it's like Planet of the Apes popping up the tires genuinely now you
actually get you
actually closer to the
truth than this
idiot
so the rock up
used 2,500
bullets
that's not that
many
guess how many
emus they killed
zero
none of them
because the emus
are not there
they're too
coordinated
500 they killed 200 emus they killed? Zero. None of them. Because the emus are not there. They're too coordinated. 500.
They killed 200 emus.
Fucking hell.
Why? 200 casualties.
Because their necks are so thin,
the bullets are just flying past.
Why did they kill 200 emus?
That was it.
There was 200 emus.
It's not over yet.
Okay.
Not over yet.
So the army brawled out, right?
And the emus,
because their tactics was this. They'd keep the distance and they'd bunch out, right? And the emus, because their tactics
was this, they'd keep
the distance and they'd
bunch up, right?
And then they'd open
fire, but they'd scatter
and they were too fast
and zigzagging.
But Lou,
Lou, one bullet
in every 10
killed an emu.
That's pretty good
going though.
No, that's not the
maths.
Almost.
It is.
No, you have to
think about it.
2,500 bullets.
This is not good. And this is at a time where the emus know again, you have to think about it 2,500 bullets emus this is not good
and this is at a time
where they know
emus know again
they have to wait them out
they've just been in a war
yeah they know about the war
do they emus
they have one of the
tiniest brains
in the animal kingdom
this is what they thought
wait Lewis
Lewis you're telling me
the emus have
congregated together
and said
don't worry lads
we'll wait it out
they ain't got many bullets left
because they've just had
World War 2
they're not communicating like humans it's the same way that animals in the wild congregated together and said, don't worry lads, we'll wait it out. They ain't got many bullets left because they've just had World War II.
They're not communicating like humans.
It's the same way
that animals in the wild
can coordinate
just through their evolution.
It's not communication,
it's just in them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They've had generations
of fighting predators.
Let me ask you this, right?
How has word spread
from Europe, right?
Europe to these emus
in the outback
in Australia.
How would they know
about World War 2
World War
papers
do they read the papers
I can tell you
I know
I know what's happened
you have to think
they're in cahoots
with the pigeons
they're flying over
and let them know
what are you doing
get off your phone
get off your phone
let me finish
look he's
no he's just came in
spoiling the story
I'm not even
got to the end
get off your phone I'm not even got to the end I'm not even got to the end get off your phone
I'm not checking
I'm not even
got to the end
I'm not checking
was the date of
what is known as
the emu war
thank you
so no the emus
no
it just not even
happened
it did happen
what year was it
I thought of
finishing
what year did it
happen
after the world war
two
no it didn't
shut up
this is not going
to the edit
anyways
what have you lied about when it happened?
I haven't lied.
It was after the World War.
It wasn't.
What year was it?
It was.
It was 1932.
Oh, before.
That's not after the war, isn't it?
They had loads of bullets.
No, man.
You're not supposed to check.
You're not supposed to check the date.
It's all right, man.
You've literally told us that they were lacking bullets because of World War II,
but it happened like five years before the war started. I explained to them why they didn't've just been mad about it. You've literally told us that they're lacking bullets because of World War II but it happened like
five years before
the war started.
Explain to us why
they didn't know
about the war.
Anyways.
Hang on.
So they did know
about the war.
Fucking hell.
These veterans
had just come back
from a war
they never went to.
They did.
It was.
You wrote it actually.
It was a war.
Where was that?
They came back
seven years prior
to when it started.
I don't even think it was army.
It was just farmers.
You're wrong.
Actually, you're actually wrong.
See, that's annoying because now you don't believe my story.
We didn't believe it anyway.
That happens still though.
Farmers, there's so many kangaroos and wallabies,
they have to shoot them.
I don't know.
Constantly, I think.
I might be wrong.
Shit, man.
It does say 193232 that's a rough time
for Australia man
they had the great
war and then got
involved in the
world war 2
military operation
undertaken in Australia
go fuck yourself
oh
yeah
it doesn't matter
you're saying it's
farmers and that
it's a military operation
now if it's alright
with you
I'll get on with my
fuck
you said it's 1932
that's a very small
issue the military are fighting emus in a war.
You said it was after World War?
You said it was to do with
veterans getting free land off the back of the...
It was in World War II.
It must have been World War I then.
That was like 20 years before.
Fucking hell,
they're getting given land
20 years after they finish.
Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds right.
You also said that the emus
had congregated with the pigeons
to find out about World War II.
That was him.
But did you see how...
Can we go back to the facts?
A military operation's going on under here with emus
and you're caring about a date.
Yeah, because it's a big part of the story.
You said that these were veterans from World War II.
It must have been World War I.
It's a minor issue.
He said they were lacking bullets after World War II.
It's dumb.
They probably just weren't after World War I.
Oh, fucking hell, Lewis. It's a minor issue. It's on, He probably just went after World War I. Oh, fucking hell,
it's a minor issue.
It's only, you know,
one or two.
No, I don't think
the date of when it happened
is a minor issue.
Wait, are you telling me
we won World War II
because the Australians
actually managed to convince
the emus to fight
on their team?
It could have helped
them that way.
So, anyways,
so that operation,
200 emus dead.
Yeah.
Only riles them up more,
obviously.
After World War.
Rough time for Australia.
They've gone through
the emu war
and then just been told
that fucking Hitler's
taking over Europe.
How rough's that?
200 emus down,
you know,
these are part of the family,
part of the congregation.
But the soldiers
aren't really happy about this
because obviously,
like,
this hasn't went very well.
No, not really.
We've only made them angrier
and there's a fucking ton of emus.
What have you Googled
to find this out?
By the way, like, this emu army, this isn't just like a few emus we're talking like five to ten
thousand strong emus yeah like coordinate like roman soldiers like in yeah they know the land
they know the land they walk in formation so so the armies retreat the armies retreat back and
they're like right we're gonna reassess our tactics here meanwhile the emus come back with
their own assault all right get on with it.
Get to the part where... Army rolls out tanks and, like, more guns.
Oh, fuck off.
Yeah.
10,000 rounds used.
They didn't bring out tanks.
10,000 rounds used.
900.
They didn't use tanks.
900.
They didn't use tanks.
Yeah, no, sorry.
Hang on.
How many did he use?
900.
What?
What did he just say?
900? 900. I thought he said nine injured. 900. No? What did he just say? 900?
900.
I thought you said
nine injured.
900.
No, hang on.
Wait, so again,
that's about one in ten.
That's a pretty good
growth ratio.
Also, just to double check,
you're saying
they coordinated attack
after the 200 died.
What are they doing?
Hmm?
Was their coordinated attack
destroying the fuck
out of the crops?
They've already done that,
you said.
You said at the start they've ruined the land.
So what else are they doing now?
It's just little things like you go to the beers, you eat the food in the store.
This sounds awfully like...
George Dressing Park.
George Dressing Park, where these little beers come.
How big do you think the emus are?
Have you guys realised what this sounds like, by the way?
It's got coordinated attack.
This sounds like that these farmers have got crops
which clearly are
unfenced
and the emus are
just going to go
eat it because
they're a wild animal
no it's coordinated
how big do you think
emus are
it's just a wild animal
eating crops
I don't think
they're not that big
they're big
they're the biggest
flightless bird
it's got to be an ostrich
ostrich can't fly
bigger emus
and these are wild
emus are not
big animals
I want to know
what's
encouraged the army to roll out tanks between 200 emus and these are wild and vicious animals I want to know what's encouraged the army
to roll out tanks
between
200 emus dying
and then
wait we're accepting
that
no no no
but I want to know
what the tanks
have possibly done
after like
2% of their fleet
is dead
they held the farmers
hostage
they're at gunpoint
you have a major
problem here
you're cutting off
the food source to the country do emus stand taller than humans I don't even think they do yeah I think they're at gunpoint you have a major problem here you're cutting off the food source
to the country
do emus stand taller
than humans
I don't even think
they do
probably yeah
I think they're
yeah yeah yeah
they're big emus
they're dinosaurs mate
you take out
they're not dinosaurs
they're cutting out
the food supply
to the country
you have starving people
10,000 emus
cut off the entire
of Australia
they're working tirelessly
they're not working
9 to 5
no not an emu that's an emu what's them mean, they're working tirelessly. Are you thinking of a lemur? No, not an emu.
That's an emu.
What's them white things?
They're not that big emus.
What's the white things?
An ostrich?
No, they're white.
Emus are not that big.
A lemur?
So you have the tanks
rolling out.
They use 10,000 rounds
to kill 900 emus.
But eventually,
essentially,
they have to sue for peace.
It averages 5.7 feet. So, I mean, it's the same size as a human. They're not even that much bigger than us. So they have have to sue for peace. It averages 5.7 feet.
So, I mean, it's the same size as a human.
They're not even that much bigger than us.
So, they have to put in for peace.
People just knock it out.
Wait, they made a peace treaty with the emus?
They just backed out the land, man.
It was the emu territory and they fought them off.
Oh, fuck off.
Oh, I'm not even going to bite.
Wait, so you're telling me right now?
You're telling me the army rolled out tanks and had to retreat against emus?
Have you ever tried to shoot an emu?
Very hard,
very quick,
very agile.
And you have a tank?
More so than a fucking bullet.
Mate, you can't,
because they do this.
Right.
I'm not even joking.
Yeah, but if they do that
and I shoot down the middle,
they're dead at some point.
Mate, the emus won.
I swear to God.
So you're telling me right now?
Yeah, because the army,
the army, the best snipers in the world couldn't fucking shoot an em point. Mate, the emus won. I swear to God. So you're telling me right now... Yeah, because the army,
the best snipers in the world
couldn't fucking shoot an emu.
So, Lewis, are you telling me right now
that the emus control
the middle of Australia right now?
You what?
The emus still rule the land to this day.
Interesting.
Why haven't they expanded into more land?
I'll look into the aftermath.
Why haven't they taken over Sydney?
I think they're just happy.
They don't want to push the law.
They've got their area and they've lived their generations and they're just happy. They don't want to push the law. They've got their area
and they've lived
their generations
and they're still there.
Well, that's a load of bollocks.
What's the average lifespan
of an emu?
They're still doing it.
Yeah, so this war
went on for over 10 years.
10 years.
A 10 year war.
It went into World War II.
You're telling me
Australia after battle
in the middle of Europe
as well as fight
all the emus
at the same time?
Yeah, there was
military conquest
in 1934, 1943, 1948.
Kept getting fought
back by the emus.
1943.
So you're telling me,
yeah, during Hitler
taking over Europe,
they've gone,
lads, you're going
to have to stay home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're going to have
to fight the emus.
57,000 emus
and they're dead.
You just told us
there was only 900
yeah and only unfolding
the top of this
the mystery gets
so you haven't
researched it properly
have you
this is a proper iceberg
so Luke can I ask
how many did
there was also a war
in 1950 actually as well
so
Lewis can I ask a question
so obviously
you said there's 50,000
dead emus
how many dead humans
from the emus
I don't think
they're not carnivores it doesn't sound like I don't think they're not carnivores.
Doesn't sound like a war to me.
They're not carnivores
they just mark it
on the food supply.
Humans.
Well birds don't
they eat meat
don't they emus?
I think they're herbivores
aren't they?
Emus will eat meat.
Oh my god insects eat meat.
Australian
Australian
anthropologists
described the war
as an attempt
at the mass destruction
of the birds.
So they
all they tried to do
was...
Oh, so it wasn't actually
a war,
it was more just like
genocide.
They tried to extinct
the emus.
No, they won though.
The emus won.
50,000 dead
doesn't sound like winning.
And how many humans
did they get in the process?
Zero, he said.
Probably like five.
That's not really a war,
Probably like five, he said.
Well, it's like what we said
with Serena Williams,
are you bound to get
one good little...
Bear in mind,
bear in mind, they rolled out tanks out yeah yeah yeah well yeah man right
you can have a machine gun here right
what are you what am i just what you said they were that you're shooting you and you're on email
i'm like ah yeah sorry sorry at least they're in a tank and you're on a gunner you have some
protection you're not gonna be on your'm like ah emu sorry sorry at least they're in a tank and you're on a gunner you have some protection but Lou
you're not going to be
on your own
in the desert
this is like
serious shit
it can't be that
effective
if they only took
five humans out
and they lost
50,000
there would have
been a lot of pecs
in there
but like
it's fucking
it's hard to do
serious damage
isn't it
I've got one
I've got one
it's more of like
a passive war
you know
they come back
every couple years
so they reproduce and then just get slaughtered Lou so long story short I've got one! I've got one! It's more of like a passive war, you know, they come back every couple of years.
So they reproduce and then just get slaughtered.
Luke,
so long story short,
the Aussies killed
50,000 emus.
And somehow
it's been denoted
as a war,
which really isn't a war.
And gone down as a loss.
And King Emu
ended up...
We'll get him next time, lads.
They went for peace.
Yeah, but King Emu
spoke to Queen Elizabeth
and said,
G'day! He said, G'day! We no more, no more, no more wars. they went for peace yeah but King Emu spoke to Queen Elizabeth and said get high
he said get high
we no more
no more
no more wars
we want the peace
Jesus Christ
that's the Emu
speaking to Queen Elizabeth
okay
oh how about this
once the soldiers
returned
the kangaroos came
once the soldiers
returned
from the Emu war
let's go to World War 2
A.E. Green
was asked
if the troops
would receive a medal
for their service
who?
A.T.
who?
I think he's just a guy
who probably is in the army
what's his name?
A.E. Green
A.T. Green
A.E. Green
oh it's his initials
A.E. Green
yeah so
they might have got a medal
for the war of the emus
I wonder if the emus
got one
yeah I can't wait
for next week's
I don't think the emus
got a medal Lou
I can't wait for next week's
20 minutes of bullshit
that's actually true as well
I'm actually looking forward
to researching
what actually happened
that's true
search an emu
that's what we should do
he comes
gives us a fact
and then we actually
go and research it properly
the emu one
and then we can come
and educate you
you stupid stupid boy
you don't know
what you're on about
you just said I was wrong
when I was around
you know what
you said they rolled a tank
out for emu
you did
you said it happened after World War two?
They had paratroopers so they could get the eye on that you know you know you know you were talking about how the birds coordinated
You know how they did it right giant horns
called a didgerimus
