Hello and welcome to another episode of Doogal One My Name is Dave Warnkeen. I'm sitting here as always with Matt Stewart, hello Matt. Hello Dave. But someone's missing today. But don't worry, she's been replaced. By the fabulous BatchBitch herself and I say that in context

because she's from the BatchBitch podcast. A returning guest, three Pete, please give it up for Naomi Higgins, yeah. Yeah. Here I am. Welcome back, completing your trip tips. Great to have you here. Thank you.

I was gonna do a whole bit about how I'm actually just Perkins, but I really ruined that straight out the top. But that's okay, because I've taken improv classes and I can just roll with it. Oh great, but I don't really know. I'm ruining that straight out the top. But that's okay, because I've taken improv classes, so I can just roll with it. Oh great, you can roll with being yourself. Yes, and I'm happy to be here. Let's see, let's see your best Jess, all right?

Okay, now I'm just gonna say something to you, like you're Jess. Okay, let's see how to just play out the scene. What level, what level, and probably up to? Okay. Bivleto, Provi up to? Okay. Bivle two, I did up to two. So we should be able to do this. Well, just for scale, how hard is it going?

All the way to the top? I think 78 levels, so. Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna be honest with you, it's probably level three. What? You're gonna go up to it. I'll try and keep up. I'll try and keep up with you.

Okay, okay. I don't know if it's standard or not, anyway. All right, here we go. It's absolutely not. Hey, Jess, what do you mean up to? I went... I've been to the beach. Classic.

That is good. Yes, she loves it. She's always in the water. She is. She's a real water baby. Yeah. Now we probably should have explained Jess's absence. She's dead.

She was rock rock and rolling, but rock and rolling, rock and roll, she would say quite on quiet. At the funny name for drugs. Well, she was at the music festival Splinter in the grass on the weekend. So I was childish Gambino and the hilltop hoods. I believe who, whether a light replacement for chance the rapper. Brittle. And Jess was also there performing some comedy up there. I imagined she had a great time, but sadly she has come down with a hard chance. She has come down of Chance the Rapper.

No, she's come down with the flu. Yeah. Is it festival flu? Dave, why were you doing inverted commas when you said the flu there? Seems a bit disrespectful. I did not do inverted commas. Well, I only just remembered that she was at Splenda.

So I don't believe she has the flu. I think she says a huge hangover. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I look, I like to take her at a word. I trust her. You're an idiot. I'm sure she'll be listening back to this.

So, hi Bob. We are sad that she could not make a hit. But she did send a message through Matt to read us to the listeners. I did. I said message it just for we saw recording. I said, any words you want it, but she did send a message through Matt to read that to the listeners. I said, message is for Lisa Recording. I said, any words you want us to share on the show and she said, you know what word I want you to say and then an emoji of a peeled banana. So I don't know, what, what word is she want me to say? Uh, I feel like you probably know better than I would.

It's definitely banana to it's her good word. Oh, is it? You tell her, think of a word, and she always thinks of banana. She does always, she's always thinking of bananas. Yeah, she hasn't had any improv classes. That's true. She's only a great one. And maybe, yeah, maybe that's why she's sick

because she's been saying banana and not eating enough again, that potassium. Hey, man. That is true, that is true. So get well soon, Jess. But thank you so much for coming back now, Amy. Appreciate you having potassium. Hey men. That is true, that is true. So get well soon Jess. But thank you so much for coming back now, Amy. Appreciate you having here. Hey.

Hey people want to. Jess is my gain. People want you here all the time. I mean, this is a Patreon bonus episode, but you were, you landslide one best guest. Almost favorite guest or something, whatever it was. Yeah, that's right. So at the end of the annual Do-Go-On awards,

OK, the Golden Shines. The Golden Shines, Gary's. The Golden Shines, Gary's. We did a rule where we got the Patreon people to vote for their favourite guest, and you were a landslide victory. A real slap in the face to Nick Mason, who appeared on multiple episodes. I do. And also, if you added his votes up from the multiple episodes, I still beat him. Absolutely.

So that felt good, I have to say. It was a lot closer when you added up his multiple... But I still won! Damn right. In a landslide. Yeah. Yeah. The people's champion.

Anyway, should we start the show? Well, before we get into that, we've got to quickly shout out to some great cities that we are coming to over the next few months. Oh, Oklahoma. Sadly. Is that a state? That is a statement. I got home a city.

Indiana? No. No, we are coming to Brisbane in two weekends time, August the 11th, the Sunday afternoon. There's a Brisbane in Oklahoma. At the zoo. Yeah, there's a zoo there. No, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

We're coming there. I'd love to tell you I have no idea how many tickets we've sold because the ticket report somehow is not working. I assume that there's like four left. So if you're one of the four people that want those tickets get in quickly, it is only two weeks away. We're coming to Sydney, which we announced last week on September the 21st, a big Saturday night show at the Giant To Wartheader. Fantastic. We had the best time there last year, so I hope to back that up again this year. And coming over to Perth for the first ever time also announced last week and a lot of people bought ticks to that

So thank you very much for the people that did that not a huge venue Which is the comedy lounge and that is November the third so a just to go so it's gonna be real fun Please come show and the wild wild west And If anyone wants to get so though just go to do go on pod.com. How about that? I put them on the website. You put them up.

Are you made of accessible to people? I did that. That's smart. I did that. You are the brains. There's a couple of shows I would wouldn't mind quickly plugging if that's okay. David, I'm doing a comedy show with Jess Perkins. This week?

Who's that? Next week. She's sort of like your, she's who you used to be, she's your past. She's just somebody. You're the future. Come on. Yeah, I feel like the future.

On August 1st, it's called the Amazing Traveling Comedy Tour and it's on at the Knox Community Arts Center in Bayeswater. Do we have any Bayeswater listeners there? We do, and you know what else Bayeswater has a dairy bell ice creamery. Not many of those left. I suggest you go and get a

celebratory, thick shake after the show. Yeah, dairy bell, great fun. So me and Jess are doing it. And there's a few others including headliner Dave Callan. So that should be a real fun show. The Dancing Man. Dancing Man himself. And Jess and I are also doing our show,

Razzle Dazzle, in Brisbane, just after the live Brisbane show on August the 12th, 13th and 15th, or 12th, 14th and 15th, I forget which one we have the day off on, but one of those. Anyway, there's three shows definitely one on the 12th, definitely one on the 15th, possibly one on the 13th, possibly one on the 14th.

Couldn't be clearer. Can you tell that I didn't book that show? I didn't put that on the website. Are they two different shows? The one in Bayes water is called Amazing Traveling Comedy Tour. So that's like a stand-up night where you get to see what five or six comedians holding it with you and Decal. And Sonia Dioreo. And the, wait, maybe someone else, wait, wait for it. Name you were, and I was just waiting for that invite to the gig. Who is, will it be us? Yeah, we love to come.

Will it be us? You both quit comedy. What do you want? You want me to drag you out of retirement? Okay, stand up in the middle of comedy. Stand up comedy, how dare you. Sorry, you're still. Do I need to talk about my three levels of improv again?

Thank you. Sorry, you're right. When you're right, you're right, I apologize for that. That's okay. Big time. The latest. Thank you. The latest in this time.

I still have a yellow belt in comedy blog writing. Right. Thanks. You can find out details for all that at matstjurecomedy.com. It's Nick Kappa, he's the other one. Matstjurecomedy.com slash gigs. Wow, nailed it.

Absolutely nailed it. All right, we got to crack on with the show this week. And if you haven't heard the show before, what we do here is take an intern's to a report on a topic. It is my turn this week to report on a topic suggested by a listener and Matt Naomi, you guys have no idea what I'm about to talk about. No, no.

Hey, Naomi, where are the SaaS twins? Are we? Yeah, that's the thing you, Justin Matt do when I'm reporting. We're very SaaS twin, that's the shit out of me. I think that's what it is. It's like I'm a teacher in your bullies Oh good. I'm already a bully so this will be easy. Hey Mr. Warner key your face is dumb Thank you my I have and I'm gonna kill your family Sassy

Relatable should I pull it back? Oh, it's about Jess's level, aren't they? Okay, good. So as this is coming out tomorrow, over the last week or so, space has been back in the news. Oh, yeah. Big time, big time. Oh, holy.

Big time, big time. Oh, holy. Fifth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, which I did a report on way back in the first ten episodes of this show. Is that what you mean? Is that what you meant by back in the news? Yeah, that's right. Oh, I thought you're going to talk about that area 51 thing. Oh, no, no, I'm talking more about,

yeah, the moon landing 50th anniversary. Okay. Different. Dave does he works in memes. That's his day job is telling Peter Halley what funny videos and memes. That's funny because not 10 minutes ago. I tried to explain some memes to you. I did not work in memes. That's funny because not 10 minutes ago, I tried to explain some memes to you and some people. I did not work in memes, I work in news, but you would be better at working in memes. Let me just tell you that. But don't understand your job, I think Dave. Well, one hell explain it to you.

Are you a memeer? I'm not a memeer. In fact, I kind of despise memes, but here we go. All right, well, that's a really vague thing to despise. I think, are they comedy? I think. Also, I don't really like gifts. I mean, Nick. that's a really vague thing to despise, but I think I like comedy. I like also don't really like kids. I mean, Nick never said a gift. I like people. No, you don't like gifts.

You don't like gifts. You know what I hate? MP3s. No, when people post them and they go, how original am I? Giff and you're like, oh, okay. You hate reaction gifts. Yeah, sorry. That's what I'm talking about.

Absolutely. No one is saying how original am I. They're saying I couldn't think of anything original. Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. No one is saying how original am I? They're saying I couldn't think of anything original. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. I love using them. You know what, I also hate JPEGs. The worst.

The worst. Oh my god. Kill me. Just use PNG for God's sake. I'm not so arrogant to think that I could reply in a way that Will Ferrell's face couldn't. Like, who do you think you are? If you think you can reply better than Daffy Duck,

shitting himself or something like that. I cannot think of any gifts. I mean, that was dog-looking funny. Michael Jackson eating popcorn. But one that people always post under the hood is like, just leave the internet, please. Yeah, there's one that's an image of like a sausage dog, and it's like shaking its head,

but it was clearly literally a picture and they've just animated it so it looks like the dog's shaking its head and it's really upsetting. That's maybe the one. Are you on my side now? Reaction gifts, for sure. They make me want to die in a hole.

Thanks so much. That's what I meant. I didn't mean this for real. I don't know. The concept of a good... Yeah, it's just a style of file, right? Yes, it's a file style. If you invented the GIFI, I apologize.

Dave, I'm funny your last tweet. He pronounces it GIF. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, he's wrong. He's back on the belt. He probably also says, Meme for Meme.

Are you finding my last tweet? Was it a GIF? No, it says, I'm just gonna reply to it with a GIF. Got a wrongy up in about two hours when I get her. All right, first GIF that comes up I'm replying with. Everyone's sending it. And it is Will Ferrell.

He's a great GIFer as Ron Burgundy. Anyway, we should start this show. And what's he doing in the gif? He's nodding. Cap, the caption says, agreed. It's not really make sense to your tweet, but I just want to pee you right off. Thank you. Well, I'm right up here.

But the space was back in the news. And we've done, I've done a couple of space reports. There's a completely my trip to space reports. I've done a couple of space reports. It's completed my trip to space reports. I've done the challenger space disaster and Apollo 11, but Apollo the 11, Apollo the Creed. My question for you is we always ask to get onto topic is, who was the first person in space? Me.

Is that true? Lock it in. No. Okay. Well, first person in space. That's right. So I've talked about NASA and their American space missions. Do you agree with Peter that animals should have personhood?

What? Is that something Peter Jones? No, people, theoretical, treatment of animals. Well, I certainly don't believe in all their crackpot theories. They are a little bit militant for my liking because if you do... They kind of just let every other cause go by the way. Yeah, but anybody do, what would you say? I'd say that rat or whatever the first thing was up there.

An ant? Was it an ant farm? We're talking people. Fruit flies, I believe, are the first animal. Fruit flies. Yeah, right, there's been a few, I like... We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun. We've been at fun.

Not an astronaut, but a cosmonaut. Yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like, search, seek, seek.

I'm, here we go, this is our turning. Surgey. South. Pretty quick. Surgey? Vladimir Surgey. It's not Vladimir Nor Surgey. Oh, there's a...

Bob. John. I reckon I know this because I saw there was a cartoon that I saw once and it was named after an old Colzmanort. John, John Robben. John Robben. Oh, first name. I'll just give you the first name, Yuri.

Yeah, Yuri's all he was thinking. Yuri, the Space Man was a cartoon I saw once. Last name. Slav. Serbenov. Gagarin. Well done. Yuri Gagariniden was a cartoon. I saw one last name. Slav. Sermenov. Gagarin. Well done. Yuri Gagarin.

We did it. Oh, is that Lady Gagarin's dad? Yeah. She came to America. She dropped the Brighan. Gagarin. She just dropped the rim. She dropped the rim.

She dropped the rim. You're gonna drop the rim. You're gonna be stuck here, but I don't know about this rim. I'm gonna drop the rim. She dropped the rim. I'm going to drop the rim. You're going to be stuck here, but I don't know about this rim. This was suggested by Michael Glitz and via Facebook. This is in the old, old hat from years ago. Before we all made it, before we made it Jack the Hat, McViddy. So thank you, Michael. Hopefully you're still listening about three and a half years later.

We finally did it. So hopefully you're still listening after this long and tedious introduction. I got a report. I know. So sorry. Sorry. Do you guys know anything about Yurika Garan? First man in space? No. First person in space. He was Russian? Well both. Or maybe it wasn't Russian. He was from back then it would have been the Soviet Union. That's right. He was part of the Soviet Union, but he was born in modern day Russia. So I was on the right track with all my Russian names. Yeah, absolutely. He was born in modern day

Russia. That means he's a time traveler as well. Born in modern day Russia flew back to the Soviet. You don't know what happened. Then shot up in a space. No, he went up in space and that was sending back in time. Oh, it was Earth all along. Oh, you. Okay, let me take you back to the late 1950s, the height of the cold war between the United States and the USSR. Great. And you should give context for exactly what happened there, probably on the broader sense, just for listeners who don't know what it is. Obviously, I know a lot about it. The USSR, which is the union of Soviet socialists republics, which if you ever want to get a quiz night, you should remember that because that comes up sometimes.

That's it. Union of Soviet socialist republics. All right. That's what's, which is modern day raster and a bunch of other Eastern black countries. And post-World War II, they went into the Cold War. which is modern day russian and a bunch of other eastern block countries and post world war two They went into the cold wall. It actually wasn't any actual fighting between the United States and USSR But they were bitter bitter enemies. Why was called cold because there was no fighting?

Yeah, so it's like one of those long long drawn out over decades capitalist US versus the communist USSR. And importantly, no violence. No, but the threat of nuclear war is hanging over the over each country for many decades. Right, so emotional violence. Oh, absolutely. And a lot of propaganda and hate. Okay. And importantly, this is also the height of the space race. In late July of 1957, the US announced that they intended to launch satellites into orbit and four days later the Soviet Union announced that they too would launch satellites in the near future.

So it was a real tit for tat type thing. Someone would make an announcement and they'd say, wait, doing that too. They called them Cosmo Lights. That's true. I just over. Man. So that was 1955 rather. Just over two years later on October the 4th 1957, the Soviets won the battle, the first battle of the space race when they launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite. All up it, all but it Earth for three weeks before its batteries died. Was that them... That's still pretty good. Yeah, was that the plan?

Pretty good and then it just stayed up there for another two months orbiting before it fell back to Earth. Oh no, did it hurt anyone? No one died. That's good. But at the time you wouldn't know. Did it hit the sea? The USSR were very, very secretive about stuff like that. But was it the kind of the... So it just landed randomly or did they have some sort of a... No, so after the batteries died they couldn't communicate with it anymore. Right. They just sort of tracked it as it went round and round and round. But it was a real victory for the Union

and it freaked out the United States and other countries in the Western world who were worried they were falling drastically behind their cold war enemies. The launch had caught them off guard and it had been a complete surprise. 31 days after the Soviets launched this one, they then successfully launched Sputnik II,

another satellite, and this time a dog named Liker was on board. Sputnik II, return of the use, secret of use, dammit. Sputnik II, judgment day, and your one, Naomi, is Sputnik II back in the cabin. Back in the habit. Yeah, I was going to say. Feeling you for all, yes. The so like it was the first dog in space, originally known as Kudrayavka. She was later named like her, which translates roughly as

Barka in Russian as she barked over the radio when they introduced her to the world. Oh, yeah, like a space dog. That's another, that's a quite a famous one. Just crying for help, hey. She was a stray dog. A mixture between Husky and a spits and became the first animal to orbit the earth. So you've told me that the threat of nuclear blast

hung over a lot of people. And I was like, okay, that's bad. And now you've told me there was a stray dog put one stray dog Put in a Fatalized animals dogs that barked and I famously feel very Very upset you're upset. Well my next sentence is sadly it was never planned for her to survive and she died of heat exhaustion I'm sorry. I call it a cold war. You know what I mean? Because like this cold was really heating up

that it called war, you know what I mean? Because like this cold was really heating up. Oh no. That laughs in poor taste, Naomi. Yeah, it is, and I'm sorry. Oh, that sucks. But you know, sometimes you gotta laugh or you'll cry. Amen. Comedy is tragedy plus time.

Plus a dead dog. She looks like she is. That's the full equation. Yeah. That's what you've been missing. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, that sucks. But the fact that they didn't ever, like,

they wouldn't get away with that anymore, you know? Peter. Yeah, am I right? You know, these PC police, stopping you exploding dogs in space. She didn't explode. Well, she's got very hot. They couldn't have promised that she wouldn't though.

Is that what about no idea? was to explode? No comment. Okay, that's a weird answer. So the Soviets were leading the way, both in animal cruelty and in space. And in response, the US were desperate to get their own satellite off the ground as part of their project, project Vanguard. Okay. The first real attempt was... We really wanted to sound cool. I know, we went for the cool title. The first attempt was Van Guard TV3, two months after the launch of Sputnik. It was televised and US citizens watched on with hope

as it failed spectacularly, rising only four feet off the launch pad before falling back onto the launch and exploding. So that could have been the dog. And you can watch it on YouTube YouTube and it is a huge explosion. The idea of school children watching that being like, yeah, we're going to take it to the Soviets and it literally 4 feet, a whole rocket, 4.

You can jump higher than this rocket car. And then it explodes. I love the confidence that it's like someone televised in their first stand-up spot. Yeah, it's gonna be great. Are you sure you don't wanna run this through a few times if we would have put it out there to everyone? No. I think I'm gonna kill.

Hey, how we doing? Jump four feet off the ground and explore. So it was a spectacular failure and it appeared in newspapers under the names Flopnik, Stay Putnik, So it was a spectacular failure and it appeared in newspapers under the names of flop Nick Stay put Nick you'll put Nick and dud Nick Oh some great journalism Is this American newspapers? American newspapers. Yeah

Saying that we're falling behind On January 31st, 1950, yeah, the US finally had success and put their own satellite into orbit. It was called the Explorer one I've heard of that. It's not, it's not as cool as it. Well, got the bloody job done. Got it up there. And let it out there. It's so, no, you surgeon Aussie boy. Get it, get it.

Well, the satellite. Get it dog up here. Get a shot. Not too far off of dive heat exhaustion. All right. What is that saying about? Get it, get it, get it. Well, the satellite, get a dog up here. Get a shot. Not too far off of a dive-heating exhaustion, all right. What is that saying about? Before we started, we said another saying that was... Don't say we.

All right, I said another saying that was confusing. Only once you looked at me, weed. But what does get a dog up, you mean? I don't know if I've ever heard that one. If you have to ask. Have you heard that before? Yeah, get a dog up, yeah. What does that mean?

Does that mean like get going? Get going, yeah. Get a dog up, yeah. What does it mean have it be? Most confusing baffling sayings mean have a be. I'll get a dog up, yeah? You can get out of most situations in Australia, but I'm just cracking a be here.

And the other person going, all right, you're okay. All right, cheers. And then the same song for VB starts. Yeah, that's what I was like. I think this is probably not just Australia, but people will often say, talking about a politician, if they're worthy and I'll say, hold on, I might have an a beer with them

or I would never be with them. So I wouldn't, like, I won't vote from because I would never be with them. Hmm. Is it necessarily the best thing that, you know, your Prime Minister is a guy you'd ever be with? Yeah, that's right. To a lot of people, yes.

You have it. Sure, you have a beer with Doug at the pub, but would you trust him to run a multi-trillion dollar economy? I mean, it's a good block at the pub. Yeah, it's seen him go as scooter. Can't go on going, man. I mean, think about how big thatke at the pub. Yeah, he can't go as scooter. But can't he? Can't he? I mean, think about how big that spreadsheet is.

Don't kind of handle that. All right, two very different definitions for get a dog up here. Top two Google results. First one says, common way of saying go fuck yourself. Also can be used as a friendly term of indie man. It has many meanings.

And so depending on the way it is said, could mean almost anything. Australia is beautiful. Well back to space. The United States then founded the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, aka NASA. There's another one for you, the queer team. Say that again, NASA? NASA.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Remember that for your public whizz points. That's what this episode is about. NESA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Remember that for your public quiz points. That's what this episode is about. So the Americans catching up, the Soviets continued their space program in secret, and were the first to land an unmanned spacecraft on the moon. But what, both nations were really- You were the S.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more.

It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more.

It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more.

It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. It's a reason back then for this? You know, people sort of talk about it now. It's like if we really do fuck Earth bad, we might have to go and find another planet. What was the reason back then? The final frontier. Yeah, and also I think that they were worried about like if they're the first to get weapons up there. Right. They'll be able to control planet Earth. So obviously, it never happens. Right, yeah, it happens. And also it is a bit of a flexing of the muscles to be like, oh, you think your capitalism's so great in our state?

Well, look what we did in our communist society. Right. We're better than you. Yeah. So it's a real tip for that. Look at both of us spending our people's money frivolously and in like we're doing it real fast on explosions basically. Yeah, but we go under the guys

of everyone being equal when no one is actually equal. Hashtag, capitalism, where everyone is equal. That's right. Well, at least we're honest about how unequal people are. I don't think that's true. Everyone gets a fair go. Hey, Matt, if you give a go, you'll get a go. No, I'd forgot Matt. You'd have a beer with him, wouldn't you? That is a quote from our current Prime Minister. Scott Morrison aka, Scomo. Yes, we call our Prime Minister Scomo.

If you have a go, what does he have a go, you'll get a go. If you have a go, you'll get a go. Yeah. Which is probably the most meaningful thing you said. The other thing you like doing is just saying how good things are. He's got like a catchphrase there. How good is he? No, I think he knows people find it funny. How good is education? How good is money? That's something that we do at the project is make fun of him for that and now he buys into it.

Yeah, he's variety, I think. It's amazing how many things you don't have to take an actual stance on. You just say how good is it? He's been positive. Not even saying it's good, technically. Do you're asking a question? That is the real life version of sending a gift. I've got nothing to say.

Here's Will Farrell. Exactly. Scomo is the reaction gift of this country. Through the episode, I'm going to slowly work through all your old tweets and reply with it with a different Will Farrell. I enjoy that. I'll look forward to that. So anyway, back to space, everyone wants to get someone to space. So the Soviets secretly started recruiting men for what was considered a very dangerous mission. They had no idea what would happen if they sent a space man up there. Um, well, why, they want to send a woman to a death. Well, because they sent a female dog up there and she didn't survive.

And said that. Oh, she ruined it for everyone, really. Absolutely. Making us look bad. Sergei Korolov, regarded by many, is the father of practical astronautics and love the water title. And the chief designer of the Soviet space program decided that the cosmonauts must be male between 25 and 30 years old, no taller than 175 centimeters tall, and weigh no more than 72 kilograms, which means boom, I'm a prime cosmonaut candidate.

Congratulations. I took all those boxes. Now all you have to do is be in the USSR in over 50 years ago. Over 50 years ago. You're not even in modern day Russia. Made alone, old and old. Old day Russia. He also decided that had to be intelligent, comfortable in high-stress situations and physically fit. So I am definitely Easy-come-easy-go-right. Which of those three would you give yourself a cross on?

Easy come easy guys. Which of those three would you give yourself a cross on? You're a pretty intelligent man. Maybe I could maybe get, but they probably want some hardcore mathematics. No, not. I don't know. I do real good on trivia quizzes. I'll be like, I know it stands for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and then like, so does everyone here.

It's our country. Damn it. How good is the USSR? I think my comfortable and high stress situations are being blasted into space, absolutely So does everyone here? It's our country. Damn it. How good is the USSR? I think my comfortable and high stress situations are being blasted into space, absolutely not. Am I physically fit? Fit enough to be blasted into space? Absolutely not.

That's fit as a stray dog. Yeah. Actually, that's not true. You're not just kidding. No, why? You never survive out there. They work hard. Yeah.

So, sadly I wasn't, but 200 men were shortlisted after an interview process. I'm so sorry that you didn't overlook. Make it. I did not like my cover letter. Too much glitter. Too much glitter. I was also thinking I put glitter in there.

Imagine that. A hard and Soviet general. Oh, it's everywhere. Oh, God. Oh no. Look at this. There's everywhere. Oh, oh God. Oh no, look at this. The not me. So 200 million shortlisted, not actually being told

that they might go to space, and then put through vigorous physical and mental tests. I really thought. Like in that episode of The Simpsons? It actually is like that. When Homer and Barney chose the civilians to go into space, it is exactly like that. Was that genuine excitement?

Yeah, I love that. I can't stand no more when they're doing the G-Force test. Top eye, is that? Is that what happens? That is what happens. Yeah. Is that the one where Barney goes sober and then has a non-alcoholic beer?

Yeah, non-alcoholic wine, yeah. But that was enough for him. Yeah. Perceivable effect it goes. Very good. So 200 men were shortlisted, and one of those 20 would later grow up to be the main subject of our report, Yuri Gugarin, first man in space.

So let me take you back to the young life of Mr. Gugarin, born in 1934 in a small village of Kluschino, 200 kilometers from Moscow, and near a town that was later renamed after him. That's when you know you've made it. Wow. To space and back. Yeah, correct.

That's the rule. Everyone who's been to space has a town named after him. His parents, Alexian Anna, worked on a, or probably Anak, worked on a collective farm and being the third of four children, he was mostly raised by his sister, I, his parents worked. And like many of his day, his family suffered under Nazi occupation during World War Two. There were force from their home and had to live in a tiny mud hut on their farm throughout

the occupation. What? So that's right. A mud hut. They had a mud hut on the farm. Why? No,? So that's right. A mud hut. They had a mud hut on the farm. Why? No, they had to build it. Oh.

So they'll kick out of their actual farm house. Why were they kicked out of their house? Because the Nazis didn't like the Russians. Where'd they get all the mud from? The farm. Whoa, is it a mud farm? It's a mud farm, yeah. They make mud.

They make mud. Yeah, they're farming mud huts. They're 10 mud in a mud. They had to sleep in their display hut. Wow, people came round. Um, it's been seen. It's got our two bedrooms. Oh, it's got a fancy mud hut. Yeah, it's like a California mud bungalow. There's a rumpus room. Unfortunately, all the TV's a fake. Oh, yeah, it's right there. The fireplace also fake says mud in there those flames made a mud Where's your improv level three you should be coming you should be jumping on with this. I'm sorry We should be taking off here with some mud prop Yeah, I usually I love mud prop. I don't know what's what's got into me today

mud prop That's good stuff. As a yellow bell in comedy blog writing, I'm impressed right now. I'm pretty sure you write it up. 40% of podcasting is mushing two words together, as if it was, as if it said something funny. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm just asking podcasting.

Podcasting equivalent of sending a gift. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not creative, but here's a joke. He really hate reaction gifts. What does that doubling down on things? They're so harmless. I think you're actually just annoyed by the popcorn Michael Jackson picture.

I don't even think it is a gift, is it? It's a gift. Okay. Do you know what a gift is? Matt doesn't know what a part is. It's a moving picture. Okay. Like in Harry Potter. Yeah, I think about it. I was like it feels like that's a big part of J Caroling's genius Was that she was like okay now

This is gonna be a whole magical world come with me on this journey Imagine paintings on the wall only They move okay you're with me so far. Now picture a statue. Normally, stationary. Am I right? Who are not in this fancy world? What?

They'll move around a bit. We're gonna have a horse and car, right? On the at flies. And the horses are dragons. I'm a genius. And then they make give them money. She's well, I know she's she's I think she's been recently canceled, but before then a real darling of the internet. Yeah. Has she been canceled? Yeah, I think so. I mean, who hasn't, you know, are you

anything if you haven't been canceled? It's easier to listen to me when I have been canceled at this point. Am I right? I think it's just me to be honest Well, you're the last person standing. I nearly said woman. Oh my god Well, I am a woman. That's fine. Yeah, but am I allowed to say that? cancel. Yes now your cancel. I think it's your question yourself Must never question have a little bit more One of cancel culture never question Just know the answer.

Just know. But how will we ever get better at things if people just yell at you all the time? The answer is we won't. And the answer is your cancel. Oh, cancel. It's not about you. It's about the people who are nearby in fear, who won't make the same mistake. You're an example and you're cancelled. There you go. Do we just take down

cancel culture? I think we did. Did we solve it? I mean I refuse to take down cancel culture because I don't think it can. Yeah, no, that was all joking with you, cancel culture. If anyone asks, laughing with you, we're all in this together. I cancel people too. Yeah, just give me a personal cancel. I'm trying to think of someone good, but all the people who come in my own are actually canceled. Yeah, I can't recant. Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, both canceled. Yeah, see that's pretty cancel culture. They were seen as being real good people.

Yeah. Just for merely helping millions of unfortunate people. Yeah, I don't know if my letter is or is that good? I have no idea really. I've never met her. I'd look it up. Well, Dave can you edit out all of that? No, I'm just sitting here eating popcorn. Ella, Michael Jackson, watching you to continue this. Who is? He is. Thank goodness.

And you know the manufacturer that can't have that popcorn? Cancel. Thank goodness. And you know the manufacturer of that popcorn? Cancel? Yeah. So that's our label laws. That gift is stopped. Stop lately and I appreciate that. Edward, I think the canceled the gift. Whoever first did that popcorn gift, that's funny.

It's just the problem is the millions of people who jumped on after. Yeah. It's similar to cancel culture. The first person who cancels someone great. That's funny. It's the stacks on. I love a, I love a digital stacks on to be honest as much as I shouldn't. Sometimes it's funny. Never do it to me. Someone tell me to do go on here. Do go on. Thank you. As a teenager, Geryk. So, this is a, yeah. Also, if you are Russian or, anywhere, that part of the world, I'm so sorry, I'm going to say some terrible pronunciation.

But it sounds like an onomatopoeic bird sound. Gagarin! Gagarin! Well, after he graduated from the mudhut, he witnessed a Russian yak fighter plane make an emergency landing near his home, an experience that could really scar you, but no, instead it inspired him. In early 1946 at the age of 13, the Gagarin family moved to Gatsk and joined it as a bigger city, and he's joined his school's aviation club. What did he see that he inspired him?

A Russian yak fighter plane make making emergency landing near his house. And he was inspired to make emergency landings? Yeah, I think he was just like, that looks cool. Next time I'm flying, I want to make that pilot make emergency landing. I'm feeling inspired, I don't know. Just something. What was an extra pep in my step? And finally he landed a plane in Hudson River.

Gary Senberg. Rest his soul. Hopefully because it's not time in America and he's sleeping. And his body, rested his body and his soul. He died. Anyway, he joined his school's aviation club. He began working on the docs for extra money to buy presents for his family. What a great guy.

And then at the age of 16 he began an apprenticeship as a foundry man at a steel plant near Moscow. He was selected for further training in a technical school where some sources say he studied tractors. Some sources. How many sources do two carrots? That's, I mean, it's more than one. That's some sources. But yet not enough that made you commit to it.

He is saying I was saying. It just sort of made me laugh. The first man in space studied tractors. some sources, but yet not enough that made you commit to it. He is saying, I was saying. It just sort of made me laugh. The first man in space studied tractors. Object in your honor. Beyond the scope, I've been watching a lot of the good fight lately, so I know, I think there's like five big objections. Objection, asked and answered, that's my favorite.

So that's like, where do you went through this? Yeah, she's answered that question, your honor. What about the objection you're out of order What about objection? You're out of order. And then, no, you're out of order. No, that's not a good fight. That's the two good men or whatever. No, the few good men. Is the out of order, is that one of the main ones?

I don't think that's a judge thing. So this is one, it's the opposing council. Objection. So beyond the scope, arson answered, oh man. Can you man, he say, yeah, that sounds like one. Well, like speculation. Yeah, what is that one? That's like when the witness says something that is just that speculating the witness. Yeah, but I think they say, they're testifying your honor. Like if the lawyers doing the testifying in their question It's like you get into a question soon

Objection testifying right because you're questioning them. You're not giving a statement Otherwise get the witnesses out of there So what what does this got to do with track this I can't remember I wanted to mention that the first man in space, one study tractors, I mean, there's hope for us all. I object. What was this guy's name? And John D.

Curie Garen. Russian for John D. While starting tractors, allegedly from two sources, he joined the local Aero Club and learned to fly light aircraft and it became a passion. And after finishing his technical training, he joined a military flying school. Whilst a cadet in flight school,

Cigar and Met Valentina, Gora Chieva, at the Mayday celebrations at the Red Square in Moscow, she was a medical technician. They were married on the 7th of November 1957, the same day he graduated from flight school, and they later had two daughters. Oh my gosh.

They got married the day he graduated. Yeah, what? It's a big day. What an event. After graduating, he became a lieutenant in the Soviet Air Force. It was at this time that the Soviets started recruiting people for the space mission and did Garin was shortlisted, so we're back where I left off before. Did a little flashback there, don't have anyone noticed that?

Storytelling. Yellow belt comedy blogger. Thank you. He underwent... What belt, comedy blogger. Thank you. Are you underwent? What is this comedy blog? It's a secret. You underwent a number of tests at the Cosmonaut Training Center, being exposed, this is the bit from the Simpsons.

This is the stuff he was being exposed to, low pressures, oxygen starvation tests, they're lucky when a room and then take out. He's cubby a man. Yeah, they take the looks, yeah. Now try and breathe, you can't. And also high G training or centri-fuse training, which is basically the pop I think before that spins really fast and exposes you to.

The Gravitron. Yeah. Yes. Oh, the Gravitron. Did you guys go on the Gravitron? No. The thing is, it was always at the amusement parks and the night. The Fetchic Clip's got a bit in the new Stranger Things. Really? Stranger Things?

Sorry. You really didn't want to vomit in there because everything stuck to the wall. Yeah. Right back at you. Right? Yeah. Yeah. You wanted to go on someone else. Yeah. Like a roller coaster. Yeah. They also trained extremely hard at this point. Alexi Leianov, who would later become the first person to complete a space walk Describe their training at the time as if they were training for the Olympics They also had to learn practice Have you ever trained for the Olympics? Yeah, what a slap in the face

Well, they also had to learn and practice parachuting So what's all happening? It was a big time ago Parachuting this is like two weeks ago. It's longer than that, but it's like a few months ago, it's studying tractors. Now he's being spun around real quick at the graph, it's like a plastic projector. It's a plastic projector. It's like a plastic projector. You know, you go to a drop zone for like two days

and then you can like jump out of a plane on your own. It really doesn't take that long. I said that did over 50 jumps. Really? That seems like a bit. Yeah, if you want to run 200. Yeah, if you want to run 200. Yeah, if you want to run 200. Really? 300? Does he jumps. Really? That seems like a bit. Yeah, for, if you want to have that done. If you want to have that done, 200. Really?

300? Does he jump solo? Yeah, I mean, she doesn't anymore, but yeah. Wow. And my stepdad did like a thousand, I think. So, I thought what a jump. What a jump! Is there a real need for that rush?

Oh, I guess that a need for speed. Because you can say that. Yeah, mum's hardcore. Anyway, let's talk about these fucking 50 jump. Yeah, 50 jump, no bodies. It is. I accidentally called them 50 jumps. I would have said it's 50 jump jumps. It became clear that the Gagarin's personality was also suitable for that of a cosmonaut.

A doctor who evaluated and described him as such. Quote, modest. Embarrassed when his humor gets a little too racy. I'd agree with, I'd agree with intellectual development evident, fantastic memory, distinguishes himself from his colleague by his sharp and far ranging sense of attention to his surroundings, a well-developed imagination, quick reactions, and also went under right, does not feel constrained when he has to defend his

point of view if he considers himself right, appears that he understands his life better than a lot of his friends. Cop that everyone else. Yeah. Cop that all the way with 50 Jump Chumps. I think that it feels like the personality evaluation of you be really good up in space is also saying you're not so good on the earth, right? All of those things that make you real good up there, some of them are like, oh, you sound

like you might be a bit annoying to be around. We don't want you to. Yeah. Well, because of his high results, Gagarin was a further selected for an elite training group known as the Sachi 6, who would make up the first Cosmonauts of the Vostok program. Sachi, they did an Olympics there eventually. Yeah, the Winter Olympics, yeah What are you? Yeah, I know thing. I think things I know thing Are these six had even more intense training? They're no longer champs. They've now done How many jumps? 55, I don't know I'm guessing now they're doing some downhill slalom skiing

When's the jump from champ? Let me just tell you that they they really aren't their spots here The six finalists were also the six shortest men of the group. I agree. Space being at a premium ownership. So why didn't they just do that for me? No, why did you end to be 200 people? And then they just went, these six will do. Light up in hard order, you six come with men.

The whole room is full of everyone. They start calling them out one by one. And people are like at first, and oh, yes, I made it. By the six of them, like hang on a second. I think I see what's happened here. It's like, this isn't because I got a shit personality. So the guy's like six foot eight in the corner crying.

But, but. I could go on himself with a vampire. He's a vampire for some reason. Yeah, as old tall people are. Get away from me, freaks. I've earned the golds, let's pay it. Vampires also do very well with that oxygen. Do they?

Yeah, they don't need to, they're dead. Oh, they? Are they, are they zombies? I'm pretty sure vampires aren't alive. Hmm. Am I wrong? vampires aren't alive. Hmm. Am I wrong? Seems it prejudiced. Oh, no.

I don't really don't have souls. Oh, I fell for this one. They're dead to me. I got canceled over vampires. I could go on himself for a context he was only 157 centimeters tall or 5 foot one. That is basically my heart. Really? Yeah.

That is awesome. I'm 156 centimeters. You did it. That he is tiny. I'm very short. It was quite a small man and- People probably don't know I'm short because I have such a big personality.

But the same heart is Ariana Grande for context. Okay. I mean, that gives me the context of how tall Ariana Grande is. She's about your heart. She looks tiny. Okay. Shh.

Quick Google. I look like a normal person. Is Ariana Grande is like someone who's, he's like, He's actually the same height as Kim Kardashian. Oh, Ariana Grande. Was she on Disney or something? Do you not know who Ariana Grande is?

No, I know the name, singer, but what... Jesus Christ. I would not have been able to pull her out of a lineup. Are you serious? She's been on the line. She's a super big star. All these are so sad that I could... She's also a pretty shit person, is that correct?

She's alright. I think she's nice. Oh really? I think she's a sociadad actor. She's also a pretty shit person, is that correct? She's alright. I think she's nice. Oh really? I think she's quite funny actually. I thought she was a massive diver and like horrible to work with. No, you just heard that because she's a woman. Doesn't she also like,

I only let you photograph one side of my face, is that correct? Well, that's just a marketing plan. That doesn't make her a bitch. Critson. I was like that too, you're calling him a bitch, and you're like, no, he did a bad, bad thing. I mean, that's what he did, canceled.

I'm definitely not sure how that she was not an ice person, but there you go. Yeah, Dave, that's only because a man who behaves like that, sorry, now let me tell you some of the feminists on this blog. Yeah, please, that's true. That's actually Dave. A feminist of fucker. So if a man behaves in this way, he's decisive and a leader, a woman steps up and all of a sudden

she's a bitch and a diva. So maybe a bit of self-reflection. Thanks Dave. Thank you. Did I like it? I can send you a very nice speech by one Nicki Minaj on the subject. She's one of the associated acts, are they friends?

Yeah, they collab a lot. All right. She started on座. Ariana Grande does do a, she tends a lot though to the point where some people have questioned if she's doing it like definitely heard that about her as well Yeah, it's amazing nice Ariana I it's it's like it's she's still doing it 10. It's just where's the point then she's Italian and it's it's a It's

I feel like they're still debated in the community as to whether that's what. Italian. Yeah. What? You my boyfriend and who's Italian, I always tell him that he's what and he says, I'm all live. What do you know that I'm one 16th Swiss Italian. So, oh my God. Yeah, I think it's one I swiss Italian too. Well, I think one 16th Italian, if you split up the Swiss from the Italian, I think it's one eight Swiss Italian too. Well, I think one sixteenth Italian if you split up the Swiss from the Italian

I think I'm one eight Swiss Italian. I think you're one thirty one in thirty two Italian. How dare you? Sorry about that. Sorry. You were talking about our way you talking about our really grondas. That's right. Yeah. No, I was talking about how short Gagarin was But I was under grondet's height? It wasn't just his height that made him excel. According to the European Space Agency, Gagarin was also favored as a candidate by his peers. When the 20 candidates were asked to anonymously vote for which one they would like to see as

the first to fly, all but three chose Gagarin. Oh. Wow. Tall man, Sergei, none of them. Five. Five. Are man Sergey. Not a fan. Bye. Bye. Are the groups a eight feet tall? He's too tall.

He'd picture like the that citizens tall man character. Nelson. And then he made him. We all need an autumn will be you. Sorry, but I I don't think I've ever met an adult man as short as me. Is this because people have gotten taller as time went on? Does that go back or are we not going back far enough for that to be a thing? No, that's definitely a thing. In IFL, the Rockmans in like the 60s were a six foot tall.

Really? Which is equivalent of 182 centimeters. And and now rock minute 205, 210 centimeters. So they're like sort of seven foot. And I think that scientifically proves that people are getting taller. I'm sure that is true that people are getting taller. But there definitely are people that are your hot. Yeah, the only one I've seen is that bagel boss guy. Oh, yeah.

He's a meme, Dave. What's a bagel boss? It's a shop where there's bagels and then just like a middle-aged guy who's my height and he's just screaming at all the women because no women want to date him on dating science because he's too short. And now he's an internet celebrity now. I think he signed a big deal and now he's an internet celebrity now. I think he's on a big deal. And now he's a big deal.

Turn it to say, I hate the internet. It's awful. Please, Dave, do go on. Well, Gagarin, he met into the final two alongside... I predict he met into the final one. German Titov. Gagarin was nominated as the pilot and Titov as he's back up. And this was just a few days before the actual flight that they found out.

He's understudy if you will. He wasn't understudy, he was swinging. When Gagarin and Titov were informed of the decision during a meeting on April 9th, Gagarin was of course very happy and Titov was reportedly disappointed. Then the next day on April 10th this meeting was reenacted in front of live television cameras so there would be official footage of the event I don't know if they included Tito being disappointed on us Imagine that they make him reenact it. It would be fun. Yeah, someone's there going. It's got to be accurate Tito show us cry

As an indication of the level of secrecy involved one of the other Cosmonaut candidates I mentioned before, Alexei Layanov, later recalled that he didn't know who was chosen for the mission until after the space flight had begun. So they didn't want the Americans knowing that they were about to launch someone into space. So they didn't tell anyone except the pilot, which is Gagarin and his backup. So they didn't know what they were like a better word, auditioning for.

Yeah, no, they, when they met to the final group, they were told what was happening. They thought it was a singing contest. When I said, understanding that was a joke, but then I really forgot the word apply. He passed the audition. Right. He got a call back into the final six. During the intermission, I can go, they said to reset the stage, so everyone could leave the theater, but we fent us.

The craft to describe it was made up of a spherical descent module, 2.3 meters in diameter, with a glass window, and this part housed the cosmonaut instruments and an escape system.

So it's a little bubble boy. You can, yeah, so it's like looking into a round dome with a man sitting in a chair. Honoree entry, the cosmonaut would eject from the spacecraft at about 7,000 meters or 23,000 feet and ascend via parachute while the capsule would land separately. It also had an ejector seat that could be used if there was a problem within the first 40 seconds of takeoff. After that, you were in trouble. The entire mission was controlled by it, no, this, by automatic onboard systems or by the crew on the ground. Despite being an experienced pilot, Kegare and wasn't given control of

anything on the ship, as they were unsure how a human might react to weightlessness and space. That's actually pretty smart. He basically just sat there. So what, so he was just- Why did they need to smile? He was basically then straight dog. Yeah, he was-

No wonder they just picked the shortest people. Yeah. They don't, like, what, why do they do those- Yeah, they're like, this is rigged. And envelope was placed on board. He gets shy when you tell a naughty joke. And that's why he's perfect to sit in this tiny little circle. And envelope was placed on board and inside was a code that could be entered

the gave the guy on control in the event. It was written in invisible ink. But prior to the event, they broke protocol and apparently several people just told him the code. It's 16 on 69. It was just one to five. Is that real? Yeah, they just said apparently they were like, it's just one to five. In case you need it, let's find out if he needs it. Wait, so what was he supposed to have done to get the code? Open up a envelope, get out the card.

But I imagine he could just do that at any time anyway. Yeah, but I imagine like if the thing's spinning out of control Or like you're like you've got like three seconds yeah to get just what are we system get him to ride on the back of his hand But he's not letting him look at the back of his hand on the He's got to wear a glove That would make more sense because he's gonna have that like the envelope's floating in Why can and he just know the code anyway. Yeah. It's only going to use it if he needs it. How about you

get rid of the code and just make it a button. Yeah, hit the button. Just hit the big red button. Don't do it unless there's an emergency. We trust you. You got a pretty good memory and you don't like jokes or something. Don't like naughty, it gets embarrassed for naughty jokes. Oh, yeah, but he's very intelligent in other ways. Yeah. And in his height. He takes feet off. I mean, shoes off. He takes feet off.

Chopps him off of the door. He's real weird. Put this feet up. Why do you think you're so short? He chopped his legs off. He's normal. He started seeing hangar and they're only short listening to short people.

Give me five minutes. He came back in walking on Just in days With every day that went past the likelihood that the Americans would get to space first increased so they always had their eye on the clock A few weeks prior to the launch a prototype of the craft that could go on would use called the Vostok 3k a2 Completed one low orbit carrying a life-sized dummy name, Avarn Avanovich and a dog. Avarn Avarnovich is apparently the Russian equivalent of John Doe. The dummy was so realistic. That's way more fun, Avarn

Avarnovich. It is. It's not great. And the dummy was so realistic that a sign reading Macket, Russian forward dummy, was placed under his visor so that anyone who found him after his missions would not think that he was a dead cosmonaut or an alien. This man has turned to foam in space! The dead man are alive alien. The dog survived and a van was sold in a southerly auction in the 90s. Oh that's so nice. Did the dog live a happy life? Yeah, had a great time. Really?

I'm pretty sure. Wasn't like sold and then immediately stuffed. No, I think a lot of the dogs, they asked the people, at least the crew felt sorry for them. So like at the first dog in space before I read, that's one of the dogs owners, well, the people, the crew felt sorry for it. So took it out for a walk and maybe even took it home

the night before the mission to sort of give it some happy memories before it died in space. Oh my gosh. So they weren't. They weren't that bad. But finally, moving on, the day of the launch came April 12, 1961, and Vostok 1 took off at 907 AM with a 27 year old Yuri Gagarin on board 27 club potentially potentially just like Amy one house him and Amy one Well, he doesn't have to he doesn't have to live to be the first person in space does he? He could still be out there. Yeah, floating on forever. I'd think Probably would have ran out of For you by now. Oh, he's dead, but he's just floating on for it.

They did be the ultimate member of the 27 club just flying into space forever and ever and ever They also they didn't know anything back then right like they could be like maybe in space Tite you just stop aging and you just live forever They wouldn't reckon I would have made to you theories like that. You don't believe that? No. Well, I don't know. I'm waiting to find out the answer. They weren't sure before if they were gonna even know how to fly a plane up there. How do you know anything? They thought an alien might come back and look like a dummy. I'm just saying they didn't know what was happening. That's true. It was like, it's not like being like,

we don't know, we can get a plane up there. It's not the same thing as we don't know. If you go up there, you become invincible and ageless. I still don't know if that's not true. I mean, we haven't been in every bit of space. I reckon if you hit a real sweet spot, you become invincible. That's like a fairy fountain like,

I need this. Like rolling the dice on this really badly. I'm going for that spot up there. I reckon I could be the spot. Well, when he set off a space gagarin was dressed in a bright orange space suit and a helmet inscribed with CCCP painted in red. These painted letters were a last minute edition marking gagarin as a Soviet citizen so that he would be recognizable after parachuting to safety following ejection from the spacecraft. Otherwise, they were worried that whoever found him

might worry he was a spy and possibly try and kill him. They really didn't think much of this. I have to mark a dummy and I have to mark a man. Not a spy, but that's what a spy would say. Not a dummy, that's what a spy would say. Not a dummy. That's what a dummy would say. Imagine, yeah. Not a spy. I really thought he was a spy,

but now that he's wearing this big sun that says, I'm not a spy. See, see, see, see. Oh, why did you say so? What is that, what is that sample? I actually don't know. Citizen, citizen, citizen. Paul?

Yeah, that's a little sensible. There's a question mark at the end, citizen. Paul? Yeah. That's sensible. There's a question mark at the end, obviously, the way I've put him in fact. Oh, yeah, so I don't really have that question right here. As the rocket's blasted off the control room radiate to him, preliminary stage, intermediate, main, lift off. We wish you a good flight. Everything's all right. Everything's all right.

The guys reply was, everything's alright. To go. Everything's alright. The guys reply was, off we go. Goodbye. Until we meet the dear friends. Oh, that's nice. And then the phrase he added as he took off was, Poi Harley, or Let's Go, which later became a popular phrase around the Eastern block.

That's nice. That's what you basically... Let's go, he invented Let's Go. He popularized that phrase. Before that, Well, let's go. He invented. Let's go. You popularized that phrase. Before that, everyone was just staying in. He invented them. The concept of Saturday night.

And it took off really quickly in order to escape Earth's gravitational pull. A ship needs to hit 17 and a half thousand miles per hour, and move at five miles per second. I can run that. Yeah, what you can't now, but they couldn't back then. People are obviously a lot taller now. I imagine how short you would have been back then. Oh, it would have been 4 foot 9.

Can you imagine? The Vostok's capsules, Cannonball shape helped the rocket and spacecraft reach the necessary velocity. On board was 10 days of provisions in case the engines failed, but everything went to plan. And over the course of 108 minutes, Vostok won travel around the Earth once, reaching a maximum height of 203 miles or 327 kilometers. 108 minutes.

So he was there for, yeah, an hour and 48 minutes, and that was it. That's what I took him to go all the way around the world. Yeah. Whoa. Going pretty fast. That's pretty the way around the world. Yeah. Whoa. I'm pretty fast. That's pretty fast. I'm pretty zippy. Yeah.

Geez. I'm genuinely very impressed. What's the mileage like an adult baby? That's pretty terrible. You got some sweet speed. You really got to put in premium. It's not too good for city driving, but I'm scared to get up the ride. Once you're orbiting the earth, in premium. No, it's not too good for city driving, but what's your, you better believe

it basically runs itself. Can't put any 810 in it though. Yeah, absolutely. I can go and wrote in his post-flight report, the feeling of weightlessness was somewhat unfamiliar compared with earth conditions. You think somewhat unfamiliar. You're fucking really well-strived, wasn't it? Here you feel as if you were hanging in a horizontal position in straps. You feel as if you are suspended. Thanks, mate. During the mission, he was promoted to the rank of major.

So whilst he was up there, got a promotion. In order for the mission to be counted as an official space flight, the Federation Aeronautic Internationali, the FIA. The governing body for aerospace records at the time had determined that the pilot must land with the spacecraft for it to count. Really, he ejected at 7,000 meters and then parachuted back to Earth. But the Soviet leaders told the world and the Federation that Gagarin had touched down with the Vostok one and they did not reveal that he ejected until years later. And the Federation...

Years later. ...like over a decade later. The Federation later found out and changed their rules. But at the time, they lied so he could get the record and he was recognized as the first person in space. He was the first person to leave Earth's orbit and head into space and this instantly catapulted him to huge worldwide fame. Upon his return to Earth Gagarin was an international hero, especially around the Soviet Union, a cheering crowd of hundreds of thousands of people greeted him in Red Square in Moscow.

He was a poster child for the huge victory in the space race and was rewarded by being named Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The highest legislative body in the Soviet Union, and it was appointed commander of the Cosmonauts detachment. It was also named as Hero of the Soviet Union, and there were celebrations across the country. Okay, all he did was sit there, though. Let's be honest. Yeah, that is pretty amazing that a dummy on that fight did the same amount of work he did for.

Well, it also earned the title better than he did because it didn't eject itself. Yeah, that's right. I mean, the dog did better than he did. Yes. I didn't mention the thousands of parades for the dog, but I did. Oh, no, you did.

They happened. Really? Absolutely not. I'm sorry. What do you keep hurting me? The media light was so huge that at his first press conference in Moscow, it has been claimed that over 1,000 reporters turned up to ask him questions from all over the world.

So many reporters. People were, why did it time a time, one at a time. I'll get to you all. I love it when, uh, someone's doing a press conference and they're real comfortable and no everyone there. They'll say I'll take, uh, Greg's questions first. Matt, please. Do you reckon he was doing that, eh?

Okay, sorry. Um, I think, um, I think Jessica over here was up first, uh, and I'll take you next, at Joe. Classic Scomo. Am I sco-moing it? Yeah. I think Jessica over here was up first and I'll take you next Scomo and my scomo in it. Yeah, you sound a sound a little anti-scomo. Oh I don't want to come across as political. You want to pledge in allegiance one way or the other and you pro or no Scomo. I'm a famed centrist. What about Albo Albo? Albo. More like Alno. Okay. Okay, so you're off sco-mo.

More like Sco-no. Anyway, enough Sco-no. Please Dave, do go on. Well, a few months later, he went to the UK and visited London and Manchester, where of course it was raining. Despite the heavy rain, he refused an umbrella instead, insisting that the roof of the convertible car he was right in remain open and stood so the cheering crowds could see him. His driver drowned.

That's not true. That's a weird person to laugh. That's such a funny image of him standing at the back of a car waving in the car. It's just slowly pulling with water and the driver's going, oh no, oh no, oh really made me laugh. But if he had an umbrella, then you could still see him. He didn't want to be seen as a weak person with an umbrella. Am I right? I wish he stayed up there long ago, to be honest.

Well, he went on a worldwide tour and visited a dozen countries within months. Meanwhile. So, okay, so the UK is in an alliance with America, with the US. Yeah. So, did the US like him? Oh, no, no, no, the US hate him, which I was about to say. The UK likes him.

Yeah, so they were happy to host him. And all these European countries that he went to Brazil and Central America and all these places. But meanwhile, the jealous Americans cracked it and President Kennedy banned him from entering the United States America. I doubt he even asked to come. Yeah. They would not let him.

The Soviets would not let him. That was, and it was after that maneuver that the Cold War got its name. Yeah, that was what a cold, cold move. My really popular enemy. Well, you don't even allow to come to my party. He's like, bye. This is from a website called Russia Beyond describing Gagarin's

reception around the world. He even had lunch with the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, and broke protocol by taking a photo with a monarch. The president of Egypt gave Gagarin the golden keys to the gates of Cairo in Alexandria. Well in Havana, Fidel Castro just hugged the hell out of him. Devon Perthongs. I just hugged the hell out.

Yeah, that one. No, they're having the honor, sorry. At least that last bit is true, because there was a photo of them hugging. Which brought the girl. I don't believe anything else he is, yeah, because there's no photos. They did misspelling Elizabeth the second,

so I'm not sure how trustworthy that website is, but I did enjoy hugging the other way. Is that the same Queen as now? So that is, man. Since 1953. She's fucking out. She's on a long, long time. Yeah.

Good on her. She 93, 94? Someone well. Yeah, yeah. Someone what? Now I was just gonna say, We got a tweet a couple days ago Someone was offended that we're a bit rude to the queen What did you say we didn't episode on it? I can't wait like two or three years ago. I have no idea

I think the comment also included I'm not a monochist. Yeah, mate. I think you are If you have to say you're not a monochist, you're 100% a monochist. I enjoyed that tweet, feedback. I did not know how to reply to it, but I really did enjoy it if you're after listening. I love it when you have a podcast and someone responded to something you said literally years ago. And they were like, actually, this, I don't fucking know. What are you talking about?

That happens a bit. Yeah. Actually, once I'm a own podcast, someone sent me a message and I read it out and I was like, I don't fucking know. I don't know. What are you talking about? That happens a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, once on my own podcast, someone sent me a message and I read it out and I was like, I don't know what the fuck their referencing turns out, they're referencing my time on Do Go On. Oh.

Oh. It's like, multiple people like, don't you remember? This amazing riff you did? Too many to count. Too many to keep my brain. Couldn't keep them all. Yeah, I'm doing a great riff right now.

Listen, I'm this gold. Compliment this one. It's very light. One that we get messages about, at some point, the Holy Roman Empire is mentioned, and I took that literally somehow. And people explain to me that it was not Holy or Roman or an Empire or something.

That happens every month or two. I'll get a message about that. Good. Did you know that, Dave? I don't know. You obviously didn't correct me at the time, enough for them to be, to not so much my brother. It's your fault.

Well, you would have known that. Why'd you leave me hanging out of the drawer? Well, from now on, I instruct you to reply with the same will-fair-al-gift every time. Who's that? I can. It was always funny. No, I'm going to play with the same will-feral gift. Every time. Who's that? I care. It's always funny. No, I'm going to plead the fifth, which I think means...

You don't have to talk. Shut the hell up. Freedom to not say anything. I mean, you can do that at all times. Well, I should. It feels like tonight I should have more unusual. The party and constant socializing got to get going with numerous sources saying he may have struggled with drinking a bit too much after his accomplishment.

Because everywhere he went he would be. As a party. Because a party forum star attraction they expect and have a drink with them and eventually it just sort of became part of his lifestyle. Meanwhile the US was still desperate to catch up and they didn't match the feat until February 1962 when astronaut John Glenn made three orbits in a spaceship called, not as bad as the previous one, the friendship seven. I'm sorry. They really changed that tune.

The friendship seven. The friendship seven with John Glenn. There were 10 months behind, and by this time, Uri's back up Titov, the one that had been crying all over the shop, had already become the second man in space. Oh, well he got his then didn't he? Yeah, but he's less, less remembered.

He's not referenced on public quizzes around the world, sorry about that Titov. You know, it's a buzz old remember at all isn't he? He really is. Uh, do you think they read, they named it the Friendship 7 because the other ones sounded so cool and were so embarrassing. Yeah, well he's blowing. They were like, name it something dumb and then if it does something good, then fuck it. Then we'll be good. Low-Aid expectations. The friendship 7 was Martin, Prince, Ham. We call him that because

he makes me want to. He enjoys Ham radio. This is data. We're doing Simpsons references. He was ringing a bell. I haven't seen, I used to know all the simpsons, but... Have you replaced that with memes? Your knowledge of simpsons with memes? You can't know both. Yeah. Mames are like the modern versions. I think it's just Glee now.

All right. Glee. You're watching Glee. Yeah. Right. I'm on the last season. That was, I felt like that was big and then it just disappeared. No one talks about it anymore.

Yeah, unfortunately the kids had to graduate, but it just dropped on Netflix in Australia. And everyone's watching, Jess is watching Glee. Yeah, right. Oh, I'm, yes, sick. Oh, yeah. She's binging. Watching Glee.

I knew it. She can't pull herself away. Well, that's a pretty good excuse. It was a Glee renaissance on this happening. It was the only excuse we'll accept. Ideally on a podcast, you would have done a portmanteau of Glee and Renee Essence, like a Glee Naya Essence, then that would have made good podcasting.

So instead of... Dave, do the one. I think I'm just saying a missing opportunity there. And... Some opportunities are best missed. Look, I'm not saying I like him. I quite hate him and I feel bad that I did one before, but that's just something you have to do when you do on a podcast.

For some reason. It's true. But back to Yuri. Please. Your guy was keen to do more missions, but the Soviets were very protective of him. Not wanting to risk losing their hero in an accident, so they weren't keen on the idea of sending him back into space. He later returned to Star City, which is the Cosmonaut facility.

And also a cool name. That is a cool name. Casino, isn't it? Isn't Sydney's Casino Star City? I think this is just called Star. Ah. I'll probably use. It sounds very Hollywood to me. Star City.

He worked behind the scenes on aircraft designs and was eventually promoted to Colonel before being the deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Facility. He's that feels like he's gone backwards. Colonel, a man deputy of the training facility. Then just keeping him in a little glass cabinet. I'm not a pencil pusher. I'm an orb, I'm an orb sitter. I sit in a thing for a couple of hours.

First couple of hours of my life. Let's go. I became a mortal up there, I assume. I'm gonna live forever. I haven't died since. I'm checking out. That is good evidence. He was eventually allowed back into the space program and Gagarin was chosen as a backup pilot for Vladimir Comorov on a mission called the Sawyer's One.

Sadly, Comorov died on the mission when his parachute failed to open with Gagarin watching on. Oh my gosh, that's why you need a reserve. After this death, he was banned from training and participating in further space flights. They're like, well that could have been you. Oh I need to see. And you're almost famous guy. So important. Yeah we can't let you, you'll be embarrassing if you died doing that. What if men are such an interesting way of looking at it. If he's meant he's famous for supposedly being good at a thing even though really didn't

do anything, surely you want him being the guy that does stuff. Yeah, I could just say, oh my god, that was so eloquent, we said. Thank you. They said doing, but you're one and done. You achieved the impossible. We've got to keep you alive. However, he was too allowed to fly aircraft. Sadly, Matt, all good things.

Oh, that's how Dave says people die. It's real weird. Less than one year later, this is after they said you can't be in space anymore, but still fire these planes. One year later on March 27, 1968, whilst on a routine training flight, Gagarin and another pilot called Vladimir Sirugin were both killed when their MiG-15 fighter jet crashed near a town just outside of Moscow. I'm sorry, I just have to say that that other pilot's name is incredibly close to what

my guess was. Flatten me a seoe again. I said Flatten me a seoe again. Oh, that's true. Sorry, but back to Yuri's death. We'll give that back to you. Give that to you. So he died.

The saddest thing about it, he didn't even get to see the summer of love, which I don't know how much of that got through to communist Russia. Oh, they got it. Back in the USSR. Would they, would they even have got to enjoy that Beatles song about them? Probably not. Oh, sorry to say. That was the coldest part of that war.

Yeah, like a Beatles. The bodies of Gugara and Sir Yigin were cremated and the ashes interred in the walls of the Cremlon, bit of an honor, but for years there was heavy specky. Is that like the White House? Yeah, well basically it's next to Red Square in Moscow there's that massive. Yeah, absolutely. In one of the latest mission impossible films they blow it up. Dave's avoiding giving a strong answer

because he does not want the emails. Yeah. It's annoying when people email. It's not annoying. I love correspondence from our comrades. I love getting fact checked. Yeah, I love it. It doesn't really.

Especially ages later after you've forgotten about it and care about it. And when they have the power of Google and I'm just riffing off my mind, fact checking does not happen all that often. It's actually impressive. Mainly just people being very nice. But there is the occasional fact check.

It's like, I don't remember saying the wrong thing, but I'll take your word for it. Because I say wrong things all the time. Check out my Twitter thing. The important thing here is that there was heavy speculation over their deaths. I'm going to quote now from a history.com article called, What really happened to to Eurika Garan,

the first man in space? Quart. Sounds relevant. So, not eloquently. An official investigation into the accident concluded that the Gagarin swirved to avoid a foreign object such as a bird or a weather balloon, sending the plane into a tailspin

that ended with its crash into the ground. But many aviation professionals viewed this conclusion as implausible, and rumors continue to swirl around the crash. Some thought Gagarin might have been drinking, or that he and Siria again might have been distracted by taking photographs from the plane's window. Oh please have been drinking. Other suggested a cabin pressurization valve could have failed causing both pilots to suffer hypoxia. More outlandish theories included sabotage for political motives, suicide or even collision with an UFO and quote. Well,

collusion and collision are very different. Oh, collusion with a UFO. Yeah, maybe, do you think? I love it. For years think I love it for years? I love it. For years the truth wasn't mine. That's a series. That's a secret. Yeah. To live and earn one of them's a pilot, one of them's an alien, then they're together

and colluding pool. I mean, how do I green light us up? For years the truth wasn't known, however, until the fall of communism. A KGB report that at the time was... Oh, Dave, what? Oh, good things must come. You should.

Sorry, spoiler alert there. A KGB report at the time was declassified, and it blamed air-based personnel and bed whether that's what their actual report was. But in 2013, an astronaut I mentioned a couple of times earlier, Alexei Leonov, admitted that he was in the area on the day of the flight. And he announced what he believed happened that day.

He said a second plane, being tested that day, an SU-15 jet, mistakenly flew far lower than its planned altitude of 33,000 feet, instead planning passing close to where Gagarin's plane had been flying around 33,000 feet. Instead, planning passing close to where Gagarin's plane had been flying, around 2,000 feet. Such a large aircraft would be able to roll over a small one, like the MiG-15, in its wake, and if the two planes came too close together, it could have possibly flipped Gagarin's plane. Those are now generally the accepted version of events,

but Stum, Stum. That's that Stum. Is that a of events, but Stum? Stum? That's dead Stum. Is that a podcast pun there? Stum? No. No, some people are still sus on it also, some people still think that maybe he was taken out by the government. Why the USSR government?

Yeah, maybe. Why would they take him out? I'm not sure. Maybe he knew too much. That communism was bad. Maybe they knew. much. That communism was bad. Everything you, are you an anti-comie? So you're a red under the bed. No, that's bad.

I absolutely don't know that much about communism. But I've not heard good things. What it is. It's the same about Ariana Grande. I mean, I can't fully comment. What I've heard. What I haven't I can't fully comment. But what I've heard. Oh, this is a sojourney. What I haven't heard isn't great.

Right. I've got some pamphlets. You haven't heard the song, God is a woman. What if God was a woman? It's a great song. It's just a woman on a bus a bus. What if God was a bus? It was the end of its time that song.

People still trying to unlock the Janius. Why would that guy wait until, when did he say this 2013? Yeah. Why would he wait that long to say something? Well, because before the full of the USSR, he was probably worried that if he said something, he'd be taken out. Was that the plane of the USSR, he was probably worried that if he said something he'd be taken out. Was that the plane of government plane? Uh, yes, something to do with that.

His reasoning was why, and they asked him why did they cover it up? And he said he thought it was because, because at the time they lied about the events, one because he was a national hero, and two, they were embarrassed that an accident of that magnitude could happen so close to Moscow near a big city that a plane could fly in the wrong spot and take out their war here. I'm always worried when I'm in a plane that I'm just going to see another one like flying towards it. That's right. Now you can do.

That's why I was sitting in the middle of the middle lane. So that's basically the report, but the final part of what I'd like to say, the first human in space, Yuri Garen left behind quite a legacy. Both in the USSR and around the world. NASA's Apollo 11, the first mission to put people in the moon that were celebrating 50 years last week, landed in July. And oil celebrated, huh? Yeah, hell yeah.

I, for one, knew about it. Oh, that's why Jess is sick. She's coming down from that huge space clue. Yeah, space celebration. Yeah. Well, it was big news around the world. Let me tell you, it landed in July 1969 and the crew left behind a commemorative medallion

bearing a Gagarin's name, despite him being from essentially the other side, the USSR. They left that on the moon. Yeah. Oh, that's so nice. They also left the names of all the all the astronauts that have died For them to get there that is so nice

That's not so let putting litter on the moon Do you have to be so cynical let them have this it's sorry? So I'm still I'm still I'm sure When you you both turned on communism that, I had to hear something you love. Okay, so get on the moon. Yeah, medallions and plaques. Yeah. I love littering the moon.

I know you're a big plaque head. It gives life meaning plaques. When the Soviet Union fell, many statues of former Communist leaders like Stalin were torn down by the people. But could Garen, however, were left up because he was still a hero to the people. Oh, that's nice. Before Jenny, into space. A real Grant Daniel.

Yeah. You know about three quarters of Alison's art, Australian. Oh, Google it. Sorry. No, no, what I was saying is, and the amazing thing is, they all know Grant Daniel. Oh, great. Because he won a gold logie. Yes.

They all know what gold logies are. That's big news. Big news. Before joining into space, Cosmonaut's visit, Gagarin's grave in the Cremlin Wall, and after arriving at the space space, they plan to tree. What?

Space space. Okay. Are they plan to tree in the same grave? Are those two words together? Space. What do you get? Space, space, race. Portmento that.

Space. Space? Spraise. Spraise. They. Spaburace. You're going to try the sentence again. They give it a go.

They planted tree in the same grove, work, a guy, and planted his before his mission. And then they visit his office, which has been preserved since his death. Wait, what? Wait, what? Wait, what? Wait, what? Wait, what? planted his before his mission. And then they visit his office, which has been preserved since his death. Nice to see you. Can you say that all? I'm sorry, it's Bryce really, three there. Basically, there's now a tradition where they visit him before they go into space.

Who does? Cosmonauts. Oh, in Russia. Yeah, so they go, they visit where his ashes are, they plant a tree, contribute to him, and then they visit his office as a bit of a superstition type thing.

But perhaps his greatest legacy, like all great legacies. The energy shift. Is based in urine. What? On the way to his launch pad, Yuri really needed to piss on the day of the mission. So we pissed on the tire of the truck that had driven him out to the launch pad.

Before it was just called piss, it actually got changed to urine in honor of him. So he pissed on the back tire, something that he probably didn't think would still be a tradition to this day, but five decades later, called the- He tell people about it,

what people watching you do- Yeah, people just witness him do it. Why didn't he just piss on the ground? That's impolite. You piss on a tire. Come on. You just like, it's fun to piss on. I'm pretty sure that's one of the weird old rules in Melbourne that you can still piss in the city on like the re-attire or something. Is that one? I've fallen for something there.

I reckon you may have. But to this day, my boyfriend's definitely pissed on the re-attire of my car. Yeah, because it's legal. You also piss in the boot of my car. That is probably the time. That's up to you. That's your business. Literally, the final sentence of the podcast, we'll get you through you.

To this day, five decades later, Cosmonauts pissed on the tire of whatever drove them to the tower on the day. But what about female Cosmonauts? I know you're not giving a lift. Cosmonauts? Oh, my boyfriend. Yeah, get away. Sorry. What about. Cosmonauts, oh, my boyfriend. What about female cosmonauts? Well, life science claims that female crew members splash urine from a cup on the wheel. I knew it. So they get a little bit of piss and throw it on the tire.

Their own piss. Now that is a legacy. Two things I want in my life. My hometown to be named after me and someone to piss on something every time they do something because of me. Someone to piss into a cup and then is it their own piss? It's their own piss. What happened to the piss in a cup and then what they just hold the cup in the car?

I don't know, there's a piss cup boy or something that takes the cup back to the base. Are you serious? I don't know. It was like a chalice now. Yeah, there's a bit of stuff. But basically that's it. We finally got there. That is the story of Yuri Karon. It's a great story.

Live to hero and die to a hero. To a son. Died to me. I reckon he was taken out by dark forces. Based on any information beyond what Dave is saying. Just a vibe, yeah, any information. I base that on any information. Anything, tell me anything.

Tell me anything I'll believe. I'll base it on that. That does seem pretty sus. I don't think they're just flying planes into each other. I think they're better than that. It is a bit, yeah, I mean, seems like a weird mistake. Was it rare? Like, playing crashes were quite rare.

Well, I mean, he was inspired by a plane crash and he's backyard as a boy. An emergency landing. Hey, emergency landing. Hey, one of the emergency landing is another man's plane crash. Basically, the difference is if you survive. Yeah, I think that's pretty clear. Pretty good. That. Pretty big difference.

That's the only difference. Otherwise, exactly the same. Right. Oh, okay. Yeah. Let's see that. Oh, but that's it. I mean, no. So we look, but I mean, it seems like he- We haven't been disrespectful. No, he sounds like he's, I mean, it is weird to be such a famous person for doing it. Because, you know, like Neil Armstrong is a genius, right? is weird to be such a famous person for doing it.

Because, you know, like Neil Armstrong is a genius, right? He had to be. Well, have we checked? Because... Maybe he hasn't. I mean, this guy was... I mean, this guy was... Apparently, really smart. No, if you remember the moon report episode,

Neil had to take that thing into a fully off autopilot. He was doing... And the crash land onto the moon, basically. Really? And he was... Maybe I'll listen to it. He was seconds away from... It was doing a crash land onto the moon basically. Really? And he was, he was seconds away from, he was doing death working out. Is that why they let him? With Greyled on pad I think.

He was having to do maths handwritten. He'd be embarrassed to have forgotten his calculator. Not a fool. He would have thought they could afford a scientific calculator. Nasa, right? Yeah, right? He's got a Casio? Please.

You idiot. Too much, too far. Too aggressive. Back off, nicer. It's a nice one. It's a nice one, more time. Really upset when you say nice. It's very upset.

I'm upset about it. Good luck. We got that right? Nice, nicer, nicer. It's nice. Nasa. Nasa. Oh, sorry, I've been saying Nasa. Nasa. Okay. It's very unsettling. Okay,

but I'm saying it right now. Yeah. Okay, great. Absolutely. Hey, Dave, I really love the report. It was fantastic. I didn't know anything about this man. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.

But I feel it's best to set the scene before asking the question. Okay. He's, I really hope this, I don't read this before we do it. I really hope it's not just specific, but if it is, then jump in. Yeah, I will. In my home state of Vermont, in the US of A, we have something called a creamy, pronounced creamy.

Well, I nailed it. It's written, CRW, MW. Signs for these are everywhere, from gas stations, to outside of gyms to pet shops It's hard to drive through a main road of a town and not see at least one sign saying big-bold letters. They sell creamies My question to you is Okay, what do you think your favorite day of the week? Creamy C.R. E. W.E. You know what I reckon it is?

I reckon it's a spider. Ice cream and lemonade. Ice cream and soda. Oh. Oh, okay. What do you think? That's what we call that in Australia. Yes, spider.

Is that, yeah. Spider is a- It's a level of ice cream in some sort of What you'd call a soda? Carbonated drink classically you'd get blue heaven soft drink. Yeah, grab a soft cream I don't want to grab a softy now. I'm gonna cram me. I really could be like Is it like coconut balls that you see them sometimes eating American shows? Other like marshmallow we want. Yeah, like the big ones.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of the word for it. Like creamy snow balls. Creamy snow balls. That's what they called. Okay, creamy. So am I right? Okay. Okay.

We have an answer. Creamy. Oh yeah, he's going to explain. Well, you guessed it. I'm going to have a guess. I'm going to guess maybe like a, I mean, it sounds like it's a dessert, right? Yeah. I'm thinking like a some sort of whipped cream pie. What if it's to guess maybe like a I mean it sounds like it's a dessert right yeah I'm thinking like a some sort of whipped cream pie what if it's like a like a

like a milkshake oh well yeah I mean you're pretty close either way there with drink if that is right let me read on I always love hearing the ideas from people who haven't heard of this before and I would love you I would love to hear your answers. I'll also send you the correct answer down below. Oh man, I have not gotten this part of it. I've gotten past it. I have to go find it.

God damn it. Just Google the memory. Oh, I've to look it up. Finally, thanks for the last and the good times guys. I really appreciate all that you do for us. You are so welcome. I personally, I know it takes a lot of time out of my life, my constant dedication of this podcast and being on it,

but I do it for you. Thank you so much. Thank you. To be fair, I've done two reports, and that actually took a lot of time. Yeah, thank you. Honestly, genuine thanks there. I'll just said, can you come on again? And I said, do I have to do a report?

And she said no, then I said, okay. Okay, this is what Zachary says at the bottom of his thing that I didn't cut out, but I found his message again. Says, a creamy is a soft serve ice cream, just creamier. It's incredibly delicious. And I never realized it was an odd name until, until like college. What, why is it creamier?

Yeah, wonder. I mean, we're in the ballpark there. Absolutely. How do you spell creamy? See, doubly, M.W. When we go to America, Dave, we gotta get a creamy. Creamy from Vermont, I've googled it here. There are several different people who claim to be the creators of the Frozen Treat.

I love the idea that this is its own thing, even though it sounds like it's just an ice cream, only creamier. So they just add more cream into it? Maybe they just think it's creamier. Well, let's find out. Everybody, we're going to Vermont. Oh, I really would like to try creamy.

That's awesome. So multiple people think that they've invented. It's kind of like the AB. AB. That's awesome. So multiple people think that they've been, it's kind of like the A, B, A, B. That's it, that's the end of it. The... What do you think A, B means? Because I can mean different things. So it's the Adelaide for that.

It's chips, it's not Adelaide, is it? Is it from Adelaide? Yeah, it's from Adelaide. It's like, kebab shops do, it's chips, and then meat on top and sauce and stuff. They're called Hualalsnack Paxi, right? Is that what I think? Yes.

But then the original name is apparently AB. One of, oh yeah, I know what it. I know what the two versions are. One of them's okay. Is it? I think so. I think the actual thing, I look this up, AB, Adelaide. Some people say it means abortion, and some people say it means afterbirth. Yeah, no, I think so. I think the actual thing I look this up a b Adelaide some people say it means abortion and some people say it means after birth

Yeah, no, I think I say you don't want to eat either of those I think both of those maybe Atomic bomb is another one Oh Alan border Alan border that's what it is the Queensland Cricketer Okay, no maybe Adrian Brody. This article seems to think that creamy is a literally just soft-serve ice cream.

Oh, it's interesting. But creamier. Come on, give him that. Give him that. Okay, in the past ice cream in Vermont was made with a higher butterfat content, which gave it a creamy a texture. It's creamy. We cherish our creamies.

I get it now. Apparently the AB was first served at the North Adelaide Burger Bar. So maybe Adelaide Burger. But don't they, isn't there like someone over the road who disputes it and says that they did it first? Probably. I love how things like that are. I love that it's a local feud. Love a local feud. Hey Zachary Briggs, thanks so much for opening up this creamy slash A B discussion. Give me a creamy.

Wish he could mail out a creamy. Damn. All right, let's go to Vermont now. Where's Vermont? Is Vermont like Northeast? Northeast. I mean, above Massachusetts and New York. I'm also Massachusetts.

Guys, I love this article. We cherish our cremies, but don't worry. When we travel, we usually know enough to ask for a soft serve. We're not complete idiots. The next time you're in Vermont though, it'd be wise to order a creamy. But I mean, just the fact that they're everywhere as well.

Like, I can't remember a place where everywhere your look is soft serve, being sold. And I have any soft serve. It's gotta be proud of something. I love it. I love it. Petchops. Yeah, I'm just thinking back what he said.

Gastations, gyms, pet shops, all sell cremies. Well, I mean, you just need a machine, really. Not many people live in a shop. Just pop again to buy a collar. Pat some puppies. Pat some puppies. Pat some puppies. I have a creamy.

What do we have in Melbourne, coffee? Coffee. I really gotta try the coffee in a lane way. That I'm catching it in the footy on a Friday night of the G. So what else have we got? That's it. Coffee and footy, man. And we all wear black and all right.

Damn it, I'm wearing all black. You are. God damn it. That's a hack. That's unlucky. It's unlucky I said that today. Hack and black? Smush him together a hack. That's unlucky. It's unlucky I said that today. Hack and Blacks, wishing together. Hack.

That's me, I'm not really good at this. You're getting it. That's good fun. That's how you going? Oh, I'm just obsessed with Vermont. Second smallest state by population. Wow, I'm now I'm obsessed. What are the obsession?

That is a fun, I didn't realize we're doing fun facts. I can't believe you checked out for five minutes of reading and that's the thing you pulled out. Larger city, Burlington. Only 42,000 people. And that's the largest city. Wow, that's cool. Amazing.

Boutique. Boutique. I love that. They all love cremies. Is there a key to cremation? I want to get a Burlington. I want to get a cremation. Why don't you just, why don't you get a creamy before you get a creamy t-shirt?

Yeah, you, otherwise you look like that. Because you can mail it. And you're one of those people who buys a t-shirt from a band when you can't even name three there or another. And they're first three albums. And then you can eat a creamy. What about, I'm just here for the Maple Creamy? That's a t-shirt.

A Maple Creamy. And you wait to have a month, that's probably why you would go. Can you get a chopped creamy? Yeah, look at the feed-in flavors. Filled by maple creamies, that's my atti-sharing, I'm gonna buy that. Do they actually still, are they actually still creamyer than your average soft serve? If they're milder. Like, are they using local higher butter fat?

Oh, right. I don't know. So a maple creamy, when it comes to featuring local products, the Vermont has it made with the maple creamy, a swirling tower of maple-flavored soft serve piled high. Because it must be close to the border of Canada as well. It is, yeah. Oh, wow.

That's a meeting of cultures right there. A maple creamy. Oh, here's a photo of a creamy. It does look thicker. Yeah, that looks... It does look thicker. It does look thicker. Yeah, that looks I love a waffle cone as well. I used to but now It even be too sweet for me. Yeah, that was looking up. I would keep me with a love that but that looks very sweet. But were you gonna say something before me? I was gonna say another thing. Sorry, maybe after the Cremey's So we do on the end of our

Sorry, I'm still not I'm still thinking about creamies We shout out to some of our great Patreons who support us at patreon.com slash do go on pod and Normally what we do know me or Jess if that's you're really I'm Jess Yeah, just what Jess as you know, I don't know I I'm man splaining this to me, but do go on. What do you normally do at the end? Is you give us some sort of a game to play? We read out two names each to thank people. And you give us some sort of a game to play that's relevant

to the topic we just talked about. For instance, last week, I cannot remember, but we did a topic about this wild man who did a lot of bad things called, or allegedly, the name of your spacecraft. Oh, great, okay. That is great. I was about to over-explain it,

but you knew what I was talking about. I actually did know what you were talking about. I did it last time I was here. The friendship 7, for example. Yeah. That is great. That would hurt my feelings of someone. Dave, do you remember what we did last week?

I just started that thought. John McAfee was our topic. Yeah, and what was the game at the end? I can't remember. I think we have got out of that. Oh, this company maybe, what company did he start? I reckon that sort of was. Anyway, sorry, interruption due before.

No, I was on a real roll as well. So who knows what genius. Guys, I'm still Googling Vermont over here. Get over the cru- I love it. I want to, Vermont's, sorry, Ohio, and Vermont is rivaling you for my new favorite state. No.

Rivaling you. Rivaling. Ohio is classically my, or one of our favorite states, possibly my favorite. Oh, yeah. But Vermont, I mean, I'm just rooting for it. Could we stretch the gold and mile out to make it all the way to Vermont?

Does that line up? Gary, through Ohio, Pittsburgh. Keep drawing up. Can we keep driving from Pittsburgh all the way through to Vermont? I mean, we could. I'll tell you how far that is. We want to drive from Pittsburgh to Vermont. What are you talking about? We're going to go to Vermont.

The golden mile. Everyone knows you go from Gary through Ohio to Pittsburgh. That's the Golden Mile. Everyone does that job. It's one of the famous jobs. That in Route 66. This is like Route 69. Yeah.

Okay, the Golden Mile. Route 66, a bit horny. Well, if you want to drive from Gary to Burlington, he's doing shackers, yeah. It's only gonna take 14 hours. Ah, yeah, no worries. I mean, we're stopping. And you drive via Cleveland, Ohio, second best state after Vermont, of course.

Yeah. And you've got, you have, whoa, I'm not calling. You've jumped ship. I'm not calling that at all. Maybe I have. Maybe I have. It's late. Do we start or end in Gary as well?

Because Gary feels like maybe that's where you finish. Yeah. That's the big finish. That's the, you know what else is sitting around here? What do we finish with a crimey? Glee. Is Glee sitting around here? Alright, Glee's back on top.

I'm sorry, but I'm on. Is there any TV show? Now Glee is his favorite state. I like the set of mind. Is ORIHIRE's also like where the Wright brothers were from and other flying things? Wright brothers and Glee, I'm salt. Yeah.

Can we call her her, um, spaceship, the jam factory. Oh, that sounds cool. Jumping jam factory. Yeah, the jump a jam factory. And it, it, I'll

have a eight cinemas in it as well. So it's really. That's weird, because Jam Factory has 11. You can't feel 11 cinemas in a space, but you can pray. That's true, sorry I was banged up. We've got to cap it at eight. What are we dealing with here? That actually makes sense, because on one side you've got 11 cinemas

and on the other side you've got pray. So it's clearly on the left side. It was lost to Robin. So I didn't have an accident. You've lost gold class unfortunately. Yeah, she's not greedy. She wants to get the space. And it's much like the cosmonologists,

they had to only take the shortest people. So they only had to take the smallest and least luxurious cinemas. And the youngest woman alive, Sarah Young. Sarah Young. Thank you to Sarah.

No, yes, it's hard hat If you read any sexual tension from that that is just you I love the novelty of Dave and sex thinking hard hat Oh, yeah, you need it. You know you got a wear protection.

Oh no. You got a wear protection. Come here, pop the bill. I'm a robber. I'm a robber. Still got boots on. I know what's going on here. Let's get at it.

Do go on. I definitely say that every time do go on. Now you're saying, Naomi, that it was funny that you should have a photo of her was taken leaving us. Are you shaming people's? I think the funniest part is that it's the kid from SpikeHids to be honest. That is comedy.

That is comedy. You got it. Comedy, you see even as a kid in your mind, it really like it breaks your brain a little bit when you see him as an adult with a plastic bag of sex toys. A plastic bag of sex that's like full of the brim? No. Overflowing.

Just like two or three products. Like someone who's bought too many, he looks in over his head. I don't even know how half of them work. I'll work one of each. Surely one of these will work. I need something. I'm struggling. The tension's been building up for months.

We're about to, we're both about to explode. We need a release. Looking for the release, Phil. I had to know the second all over the back. Thanks to Amy Trander from Belfast. I would also like to thank from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hey. Hey.

Oh, that's tough. From our Oklahoma, I would like to thank Megan, or probably Megan, she would say, Megan Lynn. Megan Lynn. They don't say Megan. They say Megan.

Is that what you're insinuating there? What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah. I know they say Craig not Craig. Do they want to say Megan in America? Are you shitting me? Are you shitting me?

Are you, that's why they call, I thought Megan was a trainiel. Megan might. What about Megan Fox? Yeah, what about Megan Fox? What about Megan Fox? Did I call it Megan Fox? Yeah, you're right, unrelated.

Do I call it Megan Fox? Yeah, and Megan Trainers also Megan Trainers. Sometimes they say Megan. Yeah. Megan. Yeah. Megan. Hey, I want to tell you that you're right or wrong, Megan slash Megan. So it's like how they say Craig.

So it's Megan Lynn. I'm just trying to cover all bases. Okay. I think that she probably would say, let us know. Are you a Megan or a Megan? Let us know. But what I would like to tell you is that your ship

is called the Frontier fiasco. Oh, I mean obviously fiasco is not something that I have negative last year, but it is Dumed what it was just called sorry Megan covel together from other spaceship rejects But then it ends up being quite a good spaceship. I'll this isn't true of it But the Millennium Falcon you know know how sometimes it doesn't work, but then when it needs to, it does. Built from the blood of others. Yeah, that's right. Like, is that a line from Sous?

No, I just said it. That's beautiful. Thank you so much. It sounded like it could have been a Lucasism. Ha-ha-ha. Thank you to Megan. Megan, Megan. Lynn.

She's a plan. That is her full name actually. Yeah, that's true. No, Naomi, I don't know how you feel about reading people's names out, but you could do that if you would like. Okay, can I have a look at them or? No, I guess I'm open up the list, Dave. Thank you, too. Blow some dust off that, Naomi.

The waiting time for people who are waiting for their name to be read out is about 12 months. From Stockton. Oh. Stockton named after John Stockton, the Utah Jazz guard from the 90s. This is long enough. Yes. Jess isn't here to be like, well that's what Jess would normally be saying. Oh really? Yeah This I have to be long because I have to be on triple J

That's my impression of Jets That good. Yeah, I accidentally closed my eyes during that and forgot Dave's either trying to imagine that I'm jazz or he's just fallen asleep. I mean just take his home Tegan do do see. Ooh, that's taken. Tegan. What a doozy. What are the odds of that?

A Megan and a Tegan. Megan and Taken. Yeah. It's crazy. What a Tegan. And only hundreds of thousands miles apart. Whoa. Whoa.

So where's Taken from? That's the distance that I imagined is between America and Australia. And we're back home. This is Stockton. Yes. Stockton. It sure is.

John Stockton. Beautiful tribute. I'm thinking of a ho-down. Something a ho-down eclipse. A ho-down eclipse. I thought a good spaceship name. Really? I can trust you.

I thought a ho-down eclipse. I thought it was a ho- Really? I can trust you. Oh, down eclipse. I thought it was the ho-down eclipse. Is this because you had the word Oklahoma before? I think I just sort of stuck down. It was like. Oh, oh, oh the theme song to Gilligan's Island? No, it's Oklahoma from the musical, Oklahoma. Uh, once starring.

Wait, no, it was. Australia's Hugh Jackman. It was the theme song to Green Acres. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh That's a thing. I swear to God, that's a real thing. I think the thing. And you tell me I'm making that up. Green acres. Green acres is the place to be. There you go. Do you remember where? Oh, I'm living a life for me.

You remember when Nami said this is my life. And I'm four and one. That's really magical about Matt Midsaw. The deep-backed man to Tony Saa. What he's trying to think of the next lyric, but he stays in the moment. He's got to be in the moment. And he stays in the post.

Yeah. So that was the... The Hodaanna Clips. Hodaanna Clips. That's beautiful. Oh! Downiclips is the place to be. The next person I'd like to thank.

Oh, I'm don't I was gonna say we're delirious. That might just be me. But thank you so much for listening to this show this far. We really do appreciate that. We'll be back next week with another episode, but before we go, what? You want to plug my shit? Yeah, we're doing that right now. Oh great. This is the bit where we plug your shit.

Okay. Naomi's been hanging out with us for the last two plus hours and we appreciate your time. That's, I've been in this building for about 12 hours now. Really? Well, we insisted Naomi to be quite a lot of prep. We won't let you leave until we tell the great people that you have a fantasy podcast called Batch Bitch, which is also on the Planet Broadcasting Network. Yes, it is. My pod buddies.

My pod friends. Absolutely. Pod family, it's about the Bachelor Australia. And we've obviously invited you three times on our podcast and Sydney. We've never had a guest. Yeah, that's what I'm getting up. Probably if we had one, it would initially be someone

who's watched the Bachelor. Okay, well, I'm waiting. I've watched the episode. Well, the Bachelor, it's actually very good time to log on because in a couple of weeks the new Bachelor starts. And it's the Aussie Bachelor? Yes. And so is it a man dating women this time or a one dating man?

No, that's the Bachelor at. Oh, sorry. Okay, confused. And has there been an ounce who the man is a celebrity this time? No. So the last Bachelor who didn't pick anyone in the end, Nebron was very mad at him, was a rugby player, honey badger, honey badger. And he couldn't make conversation with any of them. Because he only speaks in with euphemisms, right? Yeah, he talks about Australianisms.

Almost nervous as a badger, and I've said badgicks, that's his name, could I damn it? No, that's, he's probably, doesn't like that. Anyway, so they've gone in the opposite direction now. They've got an astrophysicist, which you would love, Dave. Oh, I love astrophysics. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I lit up. I've seen a little teaser of that,

so he introduces himself as an astrophysicist, and one of them says, oh, that's great, I'm a Gemini. Yeah, which we did predict on our podcast. Oh, that's really, really. One of them is definitely, and I just like, say their star sign in response to that. And wow, look at it. So if you want hot predictions and hot goss,

and also a majority of our listeners, I would say do not watch the Bachelor. So do not think that that is a prerequisite. So that's not a prerequisite. Not at all. But anyway, good time to log on. And then I also do gaming, gaming, every week, which is a YouTube show,

also in this same building that I think I live in now. That's right. It's about gaming, but again, you do not need to know anything about gaming to watch it, because I certainly don't. Yes, and that will have links to both those things in the show notes. Yeah, there's a fun episode of gaming gaming game, actually, where you just pop in Dave. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Looking for some cables. A lot of

people say it's their favorite episode. Because of the cable. Because of you. Just you just like step in and become part of it. I felt incredibly rude. It's a bit of fun. I found the cables so. Yeah. And I meant we could record live podcasts or something, wasn't it? Yeah, we needed them. We needed them real bad. Oh yeah. Anyway, thanks for letting me plug my things. Hey, thanks for coming on, giving us your time and being a very funny human. Maybe so, but...

We appreciate that a lot. Thanks for having me. What a joy. If I could sum this up... I hope Jess gets sick many more times. Well, if I could sum this up a set up in and one if it would be a certain disgrace pop singer eating popcorn at a cinema. What a great time.

So yeah, getting in contact with us, getting in contact with Naomi and let's all wish Jess the best by reinvigorating the old hashtag, hashtag, pray for Bob. Pray for Bob. Yeah. Bring her back. She needs it. She needs it this week. Hopefully she'll be back next week. But if not, Naomi, you live here now.

So we'll see you next week. And until next week, also, thank you and goodbye. Sliders. Bye. That's what Jess says. Really? I think she says bye. I don't think she's.
