Hello and welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Warnock here and as always I'm sitting here with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart. Hello! Hello! Dave! Great to be here. How are you? Great thanks. Thank you, who cried as well. Yeah, I had two toasted sandwiches for breakfast.

All right, will they both the same or did you mix it up? Both the same. What were they? Just cheese. Hey. It's been boring and I loved it. And one super nut energy bar. Super nut. Super nut?

Super nut. Super nut. I heard super nut. And nut. And I was like, how the fuck do you put super nut bar? What do you prefer? Chocolate, surprising to all of us, is fruit and nut. Yeah, you are boring.

Well, that's a child it was. And what the reason for you like it that you have a theory. Because fruit and nut, Yeah, you are boring. Well, that's a child of was. And what the reason for you like that you have a theory. Because fruit and nut, if anyone oversees, it's like you get your Cadbury, which is your basic dairy milk here, and then you also have the one we add in little bits of fruit and nut, and most children, that's disgusting. But yeah, what did I tell you because it sounded slightly healthier? No, the all theory was that your mum would only buy fruit and not thinking that her kids wouldn't want it. And you actually developed a taste that way by putting yourself through the pain and fruit and not.

I don't recall that theory, but that does that up. Yeah, only on very special occasions when we get snack, which was the like the real gross children's one with different colored sugar beer. A little pineapple beer in between. The goo. The goo. What do you got in your goo range? I love the good pavement goo. Yeah, I think it's pretty good, but it's a bit too far for me. I'm still a good man Yeah, yeah, my dad when you grow up you'll be right my dad's in his 60s loves the goo caramel Oh, yeah, and a bit of goo pineapple. It's like caramel just being burnt sugar. So it's just like yeah, it's too much for me Okay, your dad tell me to grow up

I'll do it myself John Grow up. Thank you. So how does the show work again Jess? You know Fuck um, so every week one of the three of us my boy Does a report on a topic that the other two don't know about usually suggested by listener and we report it back to the class? Yeah, that's pretty good. And it starts with a question. This week Jess is on the topic. What is the question this week Jess? Are you proud that I did write a question? That is the question. Yes. Is that the question? Yes, the question. Damn it. The question to get us onto the topic is, if you were an eccentric billionaire who wanted to leave a legacy, what

would you do? Ooh, aviation world records, how to use style. Okay, you'd go for world records, you'd buy them. No, no, go for the world records. Yeah, cool. What about the aviation? What about the aviation? What about the aviation?

What about the aviation? My music bowl. You would. You'd want to report on the Sydney My music bowl? You would build a music bowl. Well, Sydney Mya Maya did sort of. Really? Yeah, he actually had no idea.

He left cash for the arts, and they used it to make this the music bowl. Because he went to, he saw some orchestra player at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was inspired by that. And then it wasn't built till like 20 years after he died. But yeah, his money went towards that. Oh Oh that's cool. He probably wasn't that eccentric and I don't know how much of a report you'll get out of the city. That's not Sidney Meyer or his music bowl. You got you got heaps of money.

He's not well by the other one we've done is the Nobel Prize. Well obviously not one that we've already done is it. So I do what how it used it, it must be a report on how it used like we just did a few weeks ago. Well it was a pretty good report. It was a great report. Would we have heard of this person? Probably not, no. Well let's just take the bandaid off. Do they invent the bandaid? This topic was suggested by Phil Kitt and Daniel Ryan and it is the Fen Trejahunt. Oh, I love it. I mean, and I love Phil Kitt. Fantastic photographer. Love Phil Kitt. Feel like we haven't seen him for ages. Yeah. If you're watching or you're listening, Phil said it's for one of the best side.

Why did Phil held the World Record for most cities that he'd seen us live in? Yeah. In the end, it turned out everywhere we were. He's like, I just happened to be in Sydney this week. Yeah. I feel incredible. He was so, the most charismatic Tasmanian I've been in the entertainment town everywhere, he's like, I just happened to be in Sydney this week. Yeah, I feel incredible. He was so, the most charismatic Tasmanian I've ever met. I don't know why I qualified for Tasmanian. No, I've been through it. Because that makes it sound like it shrunk the comment as a compliment down, but most charismatic man I've ever met.

Oh, that's really expanded the comment. That's, yeah, that's almost too broad now. Okay, so I believe it will in Australia. Okay, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's almost too broad now. Okay. So believable and yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Yep. I want to met I've nearly all the people I've met are Australian yeah anyway What's this guy's deal? Well, and who was so who was the other guy? Let me give him a compliment It was also just by Daniel Ryan. Oh, Daniel Ryan. Oh, I'm familiar with him from the internet I think he's an American man and he is

Also very charismatic because charismatic person on the internet. Yeah, either of them or both lead a cult. Oh, because that's where charisma takes you. I would say yes. Wow, okay. Well, good to know. So, this is from Wikipedia. Forest Fenn was a pilot in the United States Air Force, obtaining the rank of major and

awarding the Silver Staff for his service in the Vietnam War, where he flew 328 combat missions in 365 days. Not a lot of days off. No, it's a lot of combat missions. After retiring from the Air Force, Fenn, originally from Texas, moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the early 70s and opened an art gallery called the Arosmith Fan Gallery with his partner Rex Arosmith. Oh wow, Rex is great.

Also, Forest Fenn is great. Rex Arosmith. Yeah, they sound made up. Yeah. So, Forest Fenn, that's a real name. Real name. And you've double checked the story's a real story. Yeah.

Well. You always got to snitch it. Too much. Let me have a quick go at a Tex real story. Yeah. Well. You always got to snipe it. Too much. Let me have a quick go at a Texan accent. OK. Harold Focken, yeah. And is that a Pantera quote, brother? Well, there's a Pantera drama of any Paul Reston Pace.

He started a new band called Hell Yeah. After Pantera split. So thetera split. So the- Girl, here. What an effort, man. Hell yeah, there's a great. The Aerosmith fan gallery, it later became Fan Galleries, which Forestrymuth, his wife Peggy, Peggy, great.

Starting out with the small savings over the next decade, he amassed an impressive collection of artifacts, worthy of the world's best museums Including sitting bulls original peace pipe. So he's just he's picking up rare artifacts and and selling art and he's he's got a good eye for it He made a fortune selling artifacts to American elite including Steven Spielberg and former US President Gerald Ford And apparently Steve Martin and I think share like they all bought stuff from him. He's just got this amazing collection. Can I have a quick go at Gerald Ford? Yes. Hi Homer. Do you like nachos? Do you

like football? Well maybe later you could come over, we could eat nachos and watch the football. Paraphrasing there, but think you actually said that one time. Yeah, to a man named Thomas. That's drinking is an algorithm. Yeah, and then everyone was like, this is a bit off topic. What's going on here? So the gallery sold a variety of American Indian artifacts, paintings, bronze sculptures,

and other art, and reportedly grossed over $6 million a year. Oh, this is problematic. Yeah. However, in 1988, when he was around 58 years old, Forest Fenn was diagnosed with kidney cancer. And this chunk here from an article written by Taylor Clark in the California Sunday Times. I use this article a lot. It's fantastic. So Taylor

writes, I thought I was gonna die, Phoenix Blan recently, in his feathery Texas drawl. So can you make your Texas drawl a little more feathery? How fucking yeah, but feathery. How fucking yeah. Perfect. I was thinking feathery, flappy, flappy. Yeah, perfect. I kept asking the guy who gave me radiation what my chances were and all he would say was Mr. Fenn, you've just got an uphill battle. Two years earlier Fenn's father had also been diagnosed with advanced cancer and he had taken what Fenn saw as a dignified way out, a handful of sleeping

pills. Fenn already knew he didn't want to whither away slowly. Dying is something I want to do by myself, he said, I don't need any help, I don't want somebody holding my hand, everybody crying, Jesus. What he did know, what he didn't know was how to end things on his own terms. Then late one one night, Fenn had an idea. What if he followed in his father's footsteps? But with an adventurous spin, he would stop a treasure chest with glittering valuables, write a clue, laden poem. Poem, poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem. Poem among the country of that love that poem right a clue-laden poem that would point That's too much

Oh, there I said poem and that's too far poem. It is a word. We use the more you say it the crazy use How? Palm I'll say it one perfectly and then let's move on. But feather it Pufferman. Pufferman. Winston Churchill. Right, a clue, Layden. That would point to its location and then march out to his favourite spot on Earth to take some pills and lie in the eternal repose with the gold, with the gold, with the gold, like a doomed conquistador in an Indiana Jones movie.

All he needed was someone to write and publish the book in which he would place the poem. He says, because there's no point in hiding it. If no one knew, I hid it. Right. Makes sense. And then there's a part here from a friend of his. So it says, far as told me the idea at lunch one day, recalled the best-selling author, Douglass Preston,

a long-time friend, and one of the first writers, Phen approached. His plan was to inter himself with the treasure, so that anyone who found it could essentially rob his grave. I said, God, Forest, that's a terrific story. You're the guy who's gonna take it with you. You know, they say, you can't take your money with you? He's gonna try.

Douglas Preston, that author, he did turn down the opportunity to write the book, as did many other writers that fan approached. And he said, I think they didn't like the idea of me dying out in the trees somewhere. Like, okay. This is sick, isn't it? Why do they need an author there to write the book? So he wants to publish a book, like an autobiography, with the poem in it publish a book like an autobiography with the poem in it that has the clues to where the treasure is. So he needs someone to help write his book. He needs to get it out there so people can start a hunt. Because what's the point? The hunt is on. Bearing treasure if no one knows that there's bearing treasure out there. So there maybe you could have

just published the poem. Yeah, that is a very good point, Dave. This is pre-internet, isn't it? Did you have a blog? No, uh, it's not pre-internet. I would have blogged it. It's logged it? Oh, this is pre-internet, yes. Wait, what, you, I want to know what you, you weren't sure. No, no, no. By the time the book actually comes out, the internet exists.

But at the time that he's sick. Did he invent the internet? He invented the internet to get his poem out there. I need a way to get it out there. You guys do not. What about a series of interconnected computer networks? I can't write a book, but I can build an internet. That I can do.

So he's an initial venture to find someone to write his book for and fail. But in good news, the cancer treatment succeeded. Oh, I imagine, imagine if the brother wrote the book and he took himself out for his time. Didn't need to. So he made a recovery and so he no longer needed to think about his final resting place, but he couldn't shake the idea of the treasure hunt. He'd already bought a chest. I've already bought the chest. I've got the chest. It'd be a waste. He's a millionaire and he's like, I hate to waste it though. I don't want to waste my money. He must deep down know that he's still going to die one day. At some point. Yeah. Thanks for letting everyone at home know they're

going to die at some point. No, no, no, he's going to die. Yeah, I was talking about him specifically. Am I going to die? Finn way. It's a real case by case basis. Death. The longer you live, the more chance you have of living forever. Yeah, right.

Elon Musk is going to invent something. Probably keep it for himself to be honest. Him and K Swai, whoever he's gone out with. Grumps. K fly, so it was the other one. K Swai. I've mixed up Taylor Swift. Right.

K fly. And what I was actually trying to say Grumps. Well, I've often said Taylor Swift plus K-Fagels. Grumps. Yes. You have often said that, and it's never made sense until right now. I didn't think I even said the second name correctly. I don't know.

It's KFA, KFA. So he's already got the treasure chest and he held onto it and spent the next few years filling it with treasure. Oh. Is it a big chest, do we know? I'll tell you. I'll have a hopping one coin in at a time. Is it just a piggy bank?

Well, here's the thing, right? So this is from the article again. Fendtinkered with its contents constantly, aiming to create a stash that would dazzle anyone who opened it. He wanted it to look amazing when you opened it. Like in the movies when they open it and it's got like a glow.

Oh, so you can tell it's treasure. Yeah, that's right. He's got LED lights around it. It's pretty impressive, but he wanted it to look amazing as well as be worth a lot of money. So it had gold coins, sapphires, ancient Chinese carved jade faces, Alaskan gold nuggets, the size of chicken eggs, massive gold nugs. Free range, free range eggs?

The size of free range eggs, yes. Whoa. Yeah. The large ones. You know, you can buy extra large eggs. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

How do they, how do they do that? How do they know? Well, they collect the big ones. Do you think, is it the bigger that you can get in the bigger. Yeah, is that how it works? How do the eggs work? I don't need eggs. Can you tell?

Or do they go like, we'll just push here. Is it the bigger the claw lacca, the bigger the egg? Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I was saying, back, back, back. Is that also it? Back, back. Back. Well, I'll ask you to add a dissection out please. Comment a lot. Please edit all of that out. No, I'm not editing this. Also, that'll be too confusing for the listeners at home.

Please, Jess, please. Sorry. I'm thinking about them. I thought the fact that I said woman dick. I know what it is. I know what it's called. It's sort of like your reputation at all. Yes, I'm not a virgin.

That's what you're getting at. Oh my god, you're such a virgin. He don't even know what a woman dick is. Come on, mate. Now, if it's all right, that's cool, that's all right. Look, I don't have words, I don't have a great vocabularity, but I do, if I saw one, I could say there is one.

Why would you see it? Well, I haven't, yeah, I mean, I have many times. Oh my God. But often the lots are out. This is getting so embarrassing for you. It is not. I'm gonna move on I feel like we need to get closure here

All right bring up the internet Tell me why not bring up pictures. I'll show you which one you can that one's a chicken Well, I know the car like a first of all oh I know a coll, I could first of all. Oh, I know a colloquial. I'm all the way. Anyway, so he's collecting all these bits and pieces. Some of them from his own private collection. Others, he just acquires along the way. The others he'd stolen. No, he would purposely buy something or collect something for the purpose of putting it in the treasure. So he'd be like, oh, that's great for the chest. They're like, what

oh, nothing? Nothing. I mean, for my collection. putting it in the treasure. So he'd be like, oh, that's great for the chest. They're like, what? Oh, nothing. Nothing. I mean, for my collection. Don't worry about it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. He kept his chest in his vault at his home for the next 20 years. Ooh, I know. I know.

And I've just found him in the internet. He put it in like the vault and just covered it with a bandana. Oh, yeah. No one will look under there. Is that a very small vault? It's like a bandana in my mind. It's not very big.

I mean, you can fold them out, you know, but it's not a big, it's not a big test, no. I'll get to it. Every now and then he tests out the, it's amazement level on his friends. Oh. You know, they have friends over and he'd be like, and you just like watch their faces and see how amazed they were. And he'd write it out of ten. And he'd be like, not quite amazing enough.

I think that he would probably just get confused and because he would come around for a dinner party and he'd just go, wha! Yeah, totally. And also, there is friends, like they're used to him and him being a bit eccentric. And so they kind of laughed it off,

like, ah, what's he up to? You know, they didn't actually believe that he would go bury it. What year are we up to now? Well, this is 20 years later, so this is like in the 90s. No, in the 2000s. Oh, right.

OK. Pre-intinent. Turn off the minute of maths. Yeah, so none of his friends thought that he would actually bury the treasure. But that is exactly what he did. Right, he buried it. In the summer of 2010, without telling

anyone where he was going, he went out into the Rocky Mountains and hid his treasure. Took him two trips from his car to get all of the treasure to the hiding spot because number one at Wade 42 pounds were about nearly 20 kilos and he was almost 80 years old at the time. Oh my God, that's sick. Right. And it's not like he's going the cars over there and he's got to go here. It was a long trip from the car. But it'd be pretty annoying if you took half, then came back to the car, came back and so on and taken it.

And he's like, 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. And nobody knows, Rory. It's not. Yeah, I mean, it did fall over and not only was he got a style on the spot. He hasn't even published the power yet. As far as we know.

No, he hasn't. So the treasure chest. A couple of things to mention here. The treasure chest is in a 10 by 10 by 6 inch box. So about 25 by 25 by 50. Somebody described it as like a happy meal box. Think about that sort of size. Yeah, 10 inch.

I think everyone knows that measurement pretty well by 10 by what was the other one? Two and a half, the one you actually haven't seen anything that small before. Have not seen anything that small but yeah. Never in your life. Never. I only see big things.

I love the big banana, the big mango, the sort of place I hang out. Big marina. Big marina, been there many times. Khloeakka? No, but real big balls at the back. Made a concrete. Concrete balls. I say, every time I go, I get a photo with the balls.

Can we get a shot of that Scrot? It's what I normally say to my friends. Scrot shot. Can we get a shot of that Scroot? It's what I normally say to my friends. Scroot shot! Can we get a Scroot shot? Anyone visiting Australia do get to Galban and get your photo with the big sheep balls. You know how you love it when people call a photo a toe? You could call that a Scroot toe. Scroot toe.

Oh, very good. Yeah. America's a thing, is that an actual thing, or is that just one American said that to me once you look? Can we get a toe? Can we get a toe? I've never heard of it. I've never heard it again. This was in 2013 I don't think it took off she was keen to get it going because she's at it 15 times a minute She heard you had an accent from not from America and went oh I can spread this to another continent I can't be coming here. Hey Waldo. Hey Waldo can I get a toe? I don't know anything of what you're saying.

What? She said you wanted a photo because you looked like where I was wearing a beanie and had glasses on. I didn't know how to big bead. Waldo did not have a big beard, but anyway, she goes, can I get a toe? Hey, Waldo, can I get a toe? Hey, everybody, look, it's Waldo, can I get a toe?

She was with like half a dozen mates. Were you with anyone else? I was by myself. I walked from Chelsea to the edge of water somewhere to get a glimpse of the such a liberty before I left. And I got down and realized it was very squinty. I still looked a bit bigger than two and a half inches, but I was very small.

And then walking back here, this group of 18 year olds sort of mob me because I see you Hey Waldo you were bullied. I don't know what happened. I was so confused. Is your wallet gone after this? Yeah, were they saying wallets? Wallet. Hey wallet. I don't know what that means. What do you mean? I'm so sorry. I don't understand what you mean. Yeah, maybe they were. Oh cut off your toe. If you don't give me your wallet. You know, in America, they call... Yes, you get that in a picture. They call where's Wally, where's Waldo in America.

Yes. I figured out that after a while, and then the toe took me way more time. I think I had to ask you what the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean? What do you mean? Strange, what does it mean? What does it mean?

But, yeah, toe. I don't know. I'd love to know if that is a thing in America. What do you mean? Strange, what does it mean? What does it mean? But yeah, toad. I don't know, I'd love to know if that is a thing in America. Maybe it just was in New York in 2013. Yeah, maybe it was a short lived thing. Who knows? Who knows? Can I ask about the treasure?

Yes. So I was in a happy meals. About that, yeah. I don't know about you Matt. I was imagining a little bit bigger. I was imagining classic, you know, pyrid chest. So I'm at more like a meter by, you know, half a meter. Yeah, type of thing.

And then that actually does, it makes more sense now that he could whip it out at a dinner party. Be like, what do you think? Yeah, yeah, totally. But also it's a small treasure chest. Somewhere in the Rockies, which are about 245 acres and cross six different US states. So it surely would be than 245 acres.

Yeah probably. That's got to be more. Million acres? Sure. Let's go with the case. Why did I look it up, but you know I'm probably wrong, who cares? America's actually a lot smaller than people realize. Yeah 245 acres isn't enough, is it?

If you picture how big do you think the White House is? It's this big. Wow. And that's the same for all of them. I was gonna say one acre just for the White House. Have you heard of Tony Town? That's actually in America and that's named after the size of all the towns. That's a weird system but it works for them. That's how they've become the power for you know until recently until recently, though, the world power. So he didn't tell anybody what he'd done until he self published his memoir called the thrill of a chat, the thrill of the chase. A memoir. That's him. I've heard that phrase. Was it, did he coin that phrase? I'm sure he didn't coin that phrase.

He coins that phrase. This was in 2010. This was in 2010. This was in 2010. I don't think he did, no. Holy shit. Oh my god. What is happening? That is big. That is right. This was in 20th one of his own coins. I don't think he did know oh my god What is that is big Evan is my microphone still on that is that is He didn't coin it he coin it. Oh my god

Can you hear me yeah, he coin Oh my god like an 80 year old dude and that's real of the show hasn't taken off but that phrase yeah Yeah, that's big. The thrill of the chase. Coinder with his one who's only coins. The thrill of the coin. Oh, that's huge. So he originally printed a thousand copies

of the book, assuming not many people would buy it. I mean, a thousand is still a lot, you know? For a self published book that you don't think anyone's gonna buy, you print a thousand. Okay. Because inside the memoir is also a clue. Right. So you just, essentially, the print of a thousand maps. Clues, poems.

Clues, poems. Clues, poems. Poms. I don't understand how this wasn't big in use. I was definitely, almost definitely alive in 2010. Yeah, but. Fact check. Were you at a pub?

Well, the Saints did have a pretty good year. We made the grand final, famously drew it. This is the last ever I have felt drawn grand final. I changed the rule afterwards, even though everyone knows that if there was extra time, then the Saints would have won this second premiership. Why did you bring that up, Jess? They replayed it next week. I was there, Lion Richie. That was my fault. The key moment the best moment of the day

Lionel Richie pre-game entertainment fantastic blew the roof off if there was. I mean we all know meatloaf was the best Grandfinal entertainment. All right, you know, that's a bit rough on the loaf Me at a bed day and he embarrassed himself and and his reputation is ruined in this country forever. He doesn't need you piling on now. So he's printed a thousand copies of his book in the article from the California Sunday Times, which was written five years ago. It says that he had since outsold that origin

around by a factor of 20, that was five years ago. So it had sold 20,000, like five years ago. I love how they couldn't just say 20,000. A factor of 20. They're a writer. They're gonna paint a picture. I looked it up on Amazon actually, an eBay and you can get a copy on eBay for $346.90 plus $30 shipping. That's how much it costs. Obviously, that's how I'm on selling it. It's in brand new. No, that's what he sells it for. So, no, no, because he donated most of the copies to a local bookshop called Collected Works. Because he did this because he didn't want to be accused

of using the treasure as a publicity stunt or making any money from the books. Right, because it is a very clever publicity stunt, Dan. Yeah. so the bookstore has to keep the books behind the counter because it's at such a high risk of theft But yeah, we can get it here for 350 bucks plus shit. I think we should yeah, okay Well, especially if it hasn't been found yet. Yeah, well, we don't know that yeah, but even hasn't I think it's an investment Yeah, that's a three it's basically three month. Yeah, yeah You're really invest yourself. That's a down payment on getting like 20 minutes. Oh, I don't know 20 million dollars of Yeah, all, you were in Versusel. That's a down payment on getting like 20 minutes. Oh, I don't know 20 million dollars of Yeah, all sorts of cultural Cultural artifacts have been stolen from around the world. Yeah, to other white people. Yeah

Hey up. I'm not I'll sell to whoever you're all sort of the world people Dave You can sell it back to the original owners Well at well obviously my time is worth something. Millions of dollars. So at the back of the book is a poem. Just as he's always planned and in it, a nine clues that will lead you to the treasure's location. This is very exciting.

Would you like to hear the poem in full? Yes. Oh, so we don't even need to buy the book. I've got the poem. Just what him you tell us that? Did you buy that his phone out? I just hit buy on ebay. Hang on, did you put that on your card or the company card? I put it on my card and I bought three copies one for each of us. Did you say buy now or did you make an offer? Yeah, but I made it a really high offer to guarantee it. Six thousand of copy. Oh my God. It's an investment. It's an investment. Dave. Can we get this poem from it? Right. This, yeah, this poem. I don't have any stuff off screens. I like seeing it. You know, I like the paper. Why do you order on candle then? Well, I'm kind of, kind of, kind of, Jen has got to print it on her body. I got to read it from her.

Actually, candle wasn't quite around, but I wasn't sure why. I'm going to pretend I was going to preach it on her body. I'm going to read it from her. I actually kind of wasn't quite right, but I wasn't sure why. I'm not a little impotent. So the other one. Oh, no, the other one, surely is Kimbera. Oh my god. So this is the poem. As I've gone alone in there, and with my treasure's bold, I can keep my secret wear and hint of riches new and old.

He can't write, can he? Begin at where warm water's h hold, and take it in the canyon down. Not far, but too far to walk. Really lost it's rhythm there. Put in below the home of Brown. Oh, no. From there, it's no place for the meek. The end is ever-drawing night.

The home of Brown is no place for the meek. There'll be no paddle up your creek. He said it up his butt. Yeah, it's definitely up something's butt. Just heavy loads and water high. You've got to, you need to do a full watercolour and Oscar be to get it out. If you've been wise and found the blaze,

look quickly down, your quest to cease. But Terry scanned with Marvel Gays and take the chest and go in peace. So why is it that I must go and leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know. I've done it tired and now I'm weak. So hear me all and listen good, your effort will be worth the cold. If you were brave and in the wood, I give you title to the gold. Oh, that's great. It came home strong, but William shakes me over the aim. No, but there's nine different clues in there.

Oh, okay. One of them is in the ground. Brown Town's got to be one. Brown Town. I'll pop your chuff, whatever it said. I'll pop your chuff, yeah. Cleveland Browns is a team. Maybe it's in Cleveland.

Okay. I mean, that's not, is a team. Maybe it's in Cleveland. Okay. I mean, that's not, no. The Brockies are not in Cleveland. Yeah, but you've got to go to the Rockies first to get a rock to break it open in Cleveland. Okay. Could you not get a rock anywhere else or in the Rock? Special Rock. Yes, special rock. I love this early theory. I love this because nobody else has looked in Cleveland. So. Does anyone search the studio? Just saying. He also said, look down.

Could be in our own box. Imagine it was like under the outer air, our chairs the whole time. Ah! Oh, that freaked me out. You reckon? Imagine if it was in Dave's butt the whole time. Well, I can't imagine that.

But explain a few things. That explains the blockage. Well, I can't imagine that. But explain a few things. That explains the blockage. Yeah. Then you go. New listeners won't know that Dave has a tiny gullet. You can't eat food properly. And that might be because treasure is buried in there. There's only one opening up. Did they notice anything on the multiple surgeries you've had on your stuff? I guess. Well, I mean the diamonds or anything. Well, the doctor did go from driving a hole into a Bentley pretty quickly. Interesting. Interesting. No, he was always driving a Bentley. I feel like if treasure is

inside you, surely you have at least a claim to most of it. Yeah, yeah. I'm tensed of the law. I reckon. I forget the rest of that phrase, but that's important somewhere. So anyway, that's the that's the poem published in the back of his book. I think you know it at that time. Poem. Yeah, that was great. Because I wasn't trying so hard.

So Fenn's treasure, as it came to be known, garnered national media attention as words started to spread about the eccentric millionaire. But for long, treasure hunters were flooding into Santa Fe and such. In such numbers that they caused a measurable boom in the city's already substantial tourism industry. They called it the forest feneffect. So was the so Santa Fe was one of the key clues? No, he's just he lives in Santa Fe. Okay they reckon he's probably just he's old. He's he wouldn't proven it too far. He's in the car port. Well, no, but genuinely people assumed

like it was just in his house. Right. Kickin' down the door. Yeah. Like on the Simpsons, it's buried under a big tee and it's the town goes wild. Ha, ha, ha. Thousands of people on Facebook groups

discuss the whereabouts and are obsessive and fanatical about it. This is from the article again, chastetat.com. Has more than 33,000 posts devoted to the thrill of the chase alone. Some hunters can spout off the birth dates of every member of the Fenn family across six generations, along with the numerological clues

that might be contained therein. I'm guessing there's not any clues in that. But there are the following. There are the following. But there are the following. There are the following. Great grandfather's birthday. And then I'm trying to guess a pin.

But then I'm trying to get some sort of a larry of langitude. Oh, you think they're trying to get coordinates from? Oh, his great-great grandfather, he was born on June 1811. And that tells us Dave, the larry and langitude. Yeah, the larry and playing a new. Yeah, the layering the longer. Yeah, layering the longer tube. Line of longitude. That's something. That's a lot of tube. Yeah. Oh, well, all of a sudden it doesn't sound so silly after all. Has anyone checked that? I don't know if they have, but they're checking it right now.

Others have assembled detailed maps showing every site in the American West with brown in its name. Because the bee is capitalized, so they're like, it's got to be a place or a person. Or, shit. Cleveland Browns. Yeah, okay, but Browns. That's true.

Which only NFL team, without a logo on the helmet, fact. Right. They should just have a splodge of brown. Yeah. A little splodge. What the fuck is it? Like, why are they called the Cleveland Browns?

I don't know. He's a Brown Bears. I love to find out. Yeah, it could be Brown Bears. Like the Colton Blues and the AFL. Oh yeah. They're named after sadness. Yeah.

I think they're just named after it, because they started in the 1800s and their uniform was blue. Right. I mean, all the animals are already taken, so I had to go for blue. Yeah. One of the first football teams in the world.

Oh, everything's taken. Blue, whatever. Fine. I don't care. Teams didn't usually have a logo, or a mascot to back then, then though for the most part. They just evolved organically. Oh, no, that was so unique.

But some of the early VFL IFA ones are pretty fun. Like there's one was the May blooms I think, named after the Flour. I think that was maybe Essendon. May blooms. I think so, yeah. That's nice. Yeah, that's some fun. But yeah, and then later on they're like,

no, we've got to make it tougher than flowers, even tougher than flowers. And that's why they're called the Bulmers. Yeah, that is arguably tougher than flowers, Eric. Yeah, blow stuff up with footy. Yeah. So initially, Forest Feng gave no further clues than what was said in the palm, but in more recent years, he's given away a few additional clues, like saying that the treasure is not associated with any structure.

And he was like, no, it's not in there. This is him still alive or a kid of his or something. No, it's his him still alive. This is not long. This is in recent years. So he did it while he was still alive. What happened to him? What do you mean he did it while he went out and buried it? He buried it in his 80s.

Yeah, I thought he was going to die with it. He changed that. He recovered from the cancer. Yeah, but he didn't recover from dying one day. But he just, he got, he grew impatient impatient he still wanted to do the treasure hunt well I guess if he wanted to enjoy himself fair enough but I think that's why we'll fund her like open up a coffin yeah probably when he wants Indiana Jones thing he wanted to be buried with it then he realized that he had to get his body inside a happy meal

box yeah he was no he tried he was trying to get his body inside a happy meal box. Yeah. He was no big try. He was trying to get in there. Yeah. He took contortion classes. That's an 80 year old. And they said, you couldn't live up. You just, you're not a natural. There's no natural ability here.

You're telling. I can't work with this. I can't work with this. You'll never be a professional contortionist. And he's like, I don't want to be. I just want to get in this happy meal box. How can I get in that? He's sitting there an 80-year-old man with his feet behind his head going, that's fine.

I'll find someone else and he sort of waddles off on his butt. So these are some other clues that he's given as well. He says it's somewhere in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, or New Mexico. Oh, he's narrowing it down to four of the six. All right. Montana's like a, that's a real cool wilderness state, I think. It's located above 5,000 feet and below 10,200 feet. Okay.

If it's that's so specific, it's got to be between 10,000 and 10,200, right? Otherwise, it says between five and 10,000. No, that's interesting. Why not go up to 11 then? Because that might not be anything at all. Yeah, this one goes up to 11. It's located in an area with pine trees. It's not an agrarian mine or other man-made structure.

It's not in close proximity to a human trail. And it's not in a place an 80 year old man couldn't go. Right. It was 80 when he went in. And people are going into space and stuff. Is it up here? An 80 year old man could go up here. Well, that cancels out all the daycares

in primary schools, all right? I'm going to raise the age limit. Are you saying all 80 year old men are sex piss? No, I'm just saying that those facilities for younger people. Right, they're allowed to go. But they're allowed to go. They're a big kid.

No, they're not. Have you seen the new rules? Oh, right. No. No, 80. Well, these days, a lot of age care people around the world are locked down. Sure.

So it's in an age care facility. I can. But their man made. All right, it's in a natural age care facility. Yes. It's got to be some sort of a cave. Some sort of elephant graveyard. Oh,'re man-made. All right, it's in a natural edge kips. Yes. It's got to be some sort of a cave. Some sort of elephant graveyard. Oh, he said no graveyard.

No, graveyard. Did he say, man-made graveyard, so, do you? Yes, this is a... He didn't say elephant, he could. No. What? Since publishing the book, he's resisted all pressure for information from anonymous callers who threatened to kill him unless he divulged was the treasure's location from emails emailers with a

sob story about aling grandmothers from readers who said they want their book signed but then try to grill him for hours and he just just go back to the poem he tells everyone the poem will take you to the treasure right I don't know if it will he has confirmed that four of the nine clues have been correctly solved. Oh, but he doesn't say which four. It's a bit of a mastermind.

Yeah, I love mastermind. What a fun and frustrating game. He's also said that some people have come as close as 250 feet to the treasure. How does he know that? Because they email him to tell him like this is where we've gone and he just kind of chuckles and doesn't say anything to him. Does he chuckle to only people get close because that's a dead giveaway? Anyone listening? Is he chuckled at you? You close. You close. So is he's email public? In early editions of the book, his phone number was in the book so people just call him.

Should we call him now? Yeah. I mean, I've got a copy of the book. And what? You're just going to ask, hey, what's up? What's up? This is from the, it's like, Fenn's 90s now, if so, I'm really. He's nearly 90. Yeah. This is from the article. So some have uprooted their lives to hunt for the chest. At least one has even mortgage to home to fund her expedition. Searchers have been arrested for digging out burial sites, for making trouble in national parks, and even for barging onto Fenn's own property.

All of them have obsessed with the idea of the trove just sitting there for the taking. If only they could unravel Fenn's clues. Right. Do you think that he is having a good time, or is he sort of regretting the chaos? He loves it. Okay, okay.

Because it is now essentially his full-time job. He gets over 100 emails a day. His hundreds of letters sent to him. Reporters are always wanting interviews and phone, and he's getting phone calls from people. Because as I said, he published his phone number at his book. And while it's very interesting to hear about people spending hundreds of hours researching from their own homes and digging under our houses,

the search has actually been fatal for some. Back in January of 2016, a man named Randy Bilu, a Bilu, went missing while he was looking for the treasure and his body was found six months later. His ex-wife Linda Penden opened leather to fan, calling the treasure hunter hoax, and saying, do you care that treasure hunters risk their lives to search for your hoax? The following year, a guy called Jeff Murphy from Illinois was found dead in Yellowstone National Park in June after falling about 500 feet down a steep slope.

The very same month, another guy called, he was a pastor called Paris Wallace from Colorado. His body was found five to seven miles, about eight to 10 Ks away, downstream from where his car was parked. For the same month, two people died. Then the next month in July of 2017, a 31 year old called Eric Ashby was found dead

in part of the Rockies in Colorado. Friends and family stated that he had moved to Colorado in 2016 to look for the treasure and was last seen, you know, a month earlier. And then very recently in March of 2020, only last month, a man named Michael Wayne Sexton, Sexton of Deer Trail Colorado, was found dead by rescuers, alongside his unnamed 65-year-old male companion who later recovered in hospital. Authorities were notified by the person who rented a pair of snowmobiles

to them and they were discovered within five miles or eight kilometers of the site where they'd been rescued a month earlier. So they had issues a month ago, went out again. They're still out getting close. Yeah. So that was, that was this year, the hunt is still on. And people are still risking their lives for it. Yes. Whoa. Oh. Of course, there is some who believe that the treasure isn't real. Some say that the journey is the real gift. That's the real treasure. Right. Most Fenn hunters who fail to find the chest say they came back from their quests with a different kind of treasure. Well, the other time me I was just treasure.

They found different treasures. Is there more treasure out there? Yeah, there's other treasures. This is a quote from one of them. We never found the treasure, but we found the treasure. Okay, that's from Joe Mendoza of California who went looking for the chest in 2013 with these two sons. That's it.

To me, that sounds like he found the treasure he doesn't want to share. Oh, we didn't find the that sounds like he found the treasure he doesn't want to share. Oh we didn't find the treasure but we found the treasure. He went out with these two sons he says it brought our family together. We bonded like we never have before. How many sons did he come back with? I believe. Got rid of the bad one. Another guy called Caleb Jackson from Colorado when he was in his 30s learned about the

treasure while bed ridden with a debilitating autoimmune disorder. After getting a bone marrow transplant, he made a miraculous recovery and went out searching with his brother. And he said, the treasure gave me incentive to heal. And even though I failed, it made me realize how much struggle you have to put in to accomplish something in life and how that struggle makes achievements more significant. Forest Fenn has estimated that 65,000 people have searched for his treasure chest over the

years. 65,000. I want to find it. Do you want it? I don't know if I can be asked. I want to find it, but if it's only if it's easy. It sounds like I love a puzzle. But you know, go on up a hill or whatever.

So there's one of the things that I read and watched was this, as two journalists did a lot of research and then sort of went out and filmed it all and they've interviewed a bunch of other people. And there's a lot, and they talk about it, there's a lot of confirmation bias because anything that you find that sort of supports your theory, you're like, yes, see, I'm on the right track, there's a lot of that. And everybody goes out, because they do so much research, like hours and hours and hours and hundreds of hours of research.

And they go out so confident that they know where it is, that they believe they're gonna come back rich. Right. They truly believe it. That was like the first time I bought a lottery ticket as an adult. Yeah. I was genuinely surprised when they read out the numbers

and they weren't mine. Not even kidding, I was surprised that I didn't win. I know that it's millions to one. I know. But I was like, you got to feel it. I knew I was going to win. But isn't it so weird that when bad things happen, we go, well, it wouldn't happen to me.

But then you just expect good things to happen to you. Like, yes, no, I deserve. I don't deserve any of the bad stuff, but the good stuff, of course, that should happen. It's like I might be the opposite of you. You assume bad stuff will happen to you? Well, I'm not going to win this. That's a million to one. That sounds like I'm an idiot, but I think that's just logical. Do you sound like the idiot? I'm sitting here going, well, yeah, I'm that one in eight million. Yeah, I'll get it. It's time I buy the sticky. But I guess it's like all the other people who aren't going on this journey of people who are thinking,

well, the odds are I'm not going to find it. Yeah. If I really did believe I'd find it, I'd probably take a few weeks off work and go have a look. Sorry, we will not approve that time off. I'd love to go to Montana anyway. And those other, I think all the places,

I love pine trees. What did we do? That's beautiful. And we didn't even pay attention to the clues. We just went for a walk in the Rockies. And if we happened to find it great, if not, we've had a nice walk. If we saw Brown Town, we'd look down.

Can we get out of a paddle? Yeah. I drink paddles of beer all the time. So maybe it's near a craft brewery. Some sort of, or other kind of brewery. Brewery. I don't know why I say, it's craft even a thing anymore, or beer.

Maybe we could write a poem. That's confusing. I'd love to find out if we've gone beyond needing to say the word craft before brewery anymore. It's the new age, you know what I mean? Now you've got to say micro, brewery, micro, in America, they're all tiny, two and a half inches. So by their own admission, all these people who are searching,

spending an insane amount of time researching, there's a guy called Ricky Idler, he's a steamboat operator in Mississippi, and he says, Ricky Idler, he's a steamboat operator in Mississippi. He sounds the best. Ricky Idler, he's a steamboat operator from Mississippi.

Well, you've made that up. He's interviewed in the, in the dock I watched too. He says most of my 12 hours every night, I'm on Google or something looking up clues. I hope I was everywhere. Most of my 12 hours every night. That's a weird sentence, but he's spending a lot of time

and he's every night. So you got 12 hours when he's not on the, on the, on the, doot doot doot doot. Yeah, I hope. Surely you're sleeping. Was it, on the, on the, do do do. Yeah. I hope you're sleeping. Was it a, this is a video interview you watched him talking. Yeah, but it was on the steamboat wheel. He was turned head to the camera.

Yeah, most of my 12 hours and I've knocked off. I'm looking for the treasure. Ha, ha, ha. Sadly, no, but that was a fun act out. I mentioned. I mean, you turned away from the camera for it. Yeah. I mean, I hear I go.

Well, it wasn't all that... I'm doing a bit of acting. I'm just going to read over here for a bit. I see it to stretch. I mentioned Joe Mendoza before and his two sons. Or one of his sons, Joey Mendoza. That's great. Mendoza. Had recently graduated high school in Northern California. He spent eight weeks researching 20 hours a day, Reckons.

Joey, I call bullshit. That's a lot of research. 20 hours a day prior to an unsuccessful trip in 2014 with his dad and older brother. He goes, we were too excited to sleep. Eight weeks of not sleep, you're fucking dead. You're not excited once looking at that, but that poem is not exciting. No, it's not exciting. Nothing about you. I was excited to hear the poem and then you started reading and I went, oh this is terrible. This is not fun. What poem are you excited to hear? Well one that says, hey it's located here, this is the treasure. That's exciting.

Okay, well that's not really a is the treason like that's exciting Okay, well, that's not really a poem is it? It's just like a note well I think you know you're you're a basic level poetry Once you get up to Dave's level. It's just words. Yeah, I mean free range It's more about what you don't say it's like jazz I think you could argue that to poem if you had done a degree in poetry And I have and then you wrote that and then you wrote Like a huge essay about why it's a great poem then it would be probably seen as one of the greatest pieces of work Because it's subverting textualization

Paradam shift Yeah, Ponte text I love powered poem I love poem I love poem I love poem I've told you guys before I dated a poet for a while And I went to a quite a few poetry readings And I love that scene

It wasn't weird and I didn't feel uncomfortable And you broke up because you said, I love poem. I love poem. Yeah, my journey feedback about that. I love poem. That was the end of one of the poetry readings and I said, I'll, I'd love to get up and say a few words. I thank you so much're my beautiful work tonight.

I love poem. And then they all just pointed at the door, especially her. Yeah. Get out. That's great. So just sort of to wrap it up a little bit now. Fender said that he hopes the person who finds his treasure

is a redneck from Texas. He's lost his job with a pickup truck and 12 kids and a wife to support. He wants it to go to someone who really needs it. Okay, but that's very specific. Is that a clue? Is that a clue? I don't think it's a clue, no.

Was it buried at some redneck's house? Why do I think so? Redneck from Texas. With 12 kids, I will accept nothing less. Okay. There's one question I've got to ask. I've never thought about the term redneck. Why is that?

Is it like a sunburnt neck thing? I have no idea. I'm so sorry. I actually remember, I reckon they talked about it on Dolly Parton's America and I have forgotten it. Yeah, right. So time for a revisit. It's normally meant pejoratively, isn't it?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, maybe they're trying to reclaim it there. Right. I'm going to try reclaim it. I cannot help you. The true uniting factor amongst friends, Treasurer Hunters, is that each person is 100% certain he or she has solved the poem and that everyone else is wrong. They're all short.

Until this day, no one has found the Treasurer. Forest Venn is close to 90 years old. When asked if a part of him wants the Treasurer hunt to outlive him, he said yes, because I think a little part of me would be sad that everybody stopped looking. And he ended by saying, when somebody finds that treasure, everybody's going to say, my God, why didn't I think of that? Here I think it's in a fairly easy place. And also there's a possibility that somebody has found it and not said it, said anything, which kind of makes sense too. Because of the poem, if you find it, it, said anything, which kind of makes sense too. Because of the poem, if you find it, it is yours.

There's no claims or anything. No, no. It's like you've had won the lottery. I probably wouldn't have told everyone because I don't want everyone to know that I've just come into $20 million. No, no. If people find the treasure, they just shut the hell up. Yeah, yeah.

I reckon you would. So is that, it's not possible that it's happened? It is possible that it's happened. Right. He's not going back to check. Did it a now. I don't think he's been back people would be watching in as well He could never go back. Yeah, he should do that Just go to to bush areas and be like Just touching the ground pick up a couple of nodding nodding dramatically still here still here. Okay, give some thumbs up to the soil. Still in there, good to know.

It's a little secret. Yeah, so that's the story of the first French giant. Wow, I love it. I love it. That is absolutely amazing. Having done all the research into it and heard people talk about it, Jess, do you think it's real? Um, he insisted it is real because a lot of people say it's bullshit, um, or that it's

some sort of metaphorical or like a spiritual treasure, it's not real. Um, somebody sued him fairly recently saying that it's like, that he'd found the spot where the treasure should be, and it's not there. Um, and, but that it was some sort of like, he believed it, that it was supposed to be some kind of, like installation art piece kind of thing. Like, yeah, he reckons it's a lie, but Forest Fiend's like, no, it's real

and you just didn't find it. Yeah. Isn't it like, the clues are so vague, it could be a million different places in America. I would have thought. The fact that two people have gotten so close, like 75 meters away, they're so close to it, but they don't know that they're the ones who got so close, because I keep it and go, oh, you are like 250 feet away from it, so they don't know.

So two out of the 65,000. Totally. Two people got a couple of groups, maybe I don't know exactly how many people got really really close If he isn't told them if he's full of shit That's a pretty smart way of keeping it going as well because 65,000 people like I reckon it was me I was close. I'm gonna go back to that same spot and just expand a little bit Yeah, is there any way that he's in gehooves without the Rockies tourism board or something? No, they are they hate it They dislike it because it brings people to the areas.

And also, people to the areas where it brings people. People have died. It brings people who are not being really disrespectful to the land and. Thinking up all the outhouses. And like, people just turn up at his house and like demand to come in and it's crazy. Yeah, so it bit heat doesn't mind.

It's just not to have people over. His wife hates it. So he's not allowed to have people at the house anymore. So we would have people out there. He would go down and have a coffee with someone at the local bookshop to talk it out. And the second they get a bit too weird, he just leaves. It's so strange and amazing. Is he still a multi-rich man?

Yeah, he's rich. Right. He's still rich. So he doesn't need to go back and get it to keep himself going He's still fine. I believe he can just get normal eggs for breakfast. Yeah, he doesn't need Golden nuggets. All right. Oh, does he have a golden goose? Is that how we got these eggs? That's really the only thing that makes sense Yes. Oh my god. I love this a lot. I'd love to hear people series It's kind of cool. I'd love to know where you think we should look.

Not hey, look, hey, bits in a collette, Dave. Well, these two journalists, they interviewed a guy in Scotland who is like big into trying to figure it out. But he doesn't have the means to get over to the US. So he was sort of giving them some tips and the agreement was that if they did find it with his theory, like he would take 20 grand or something.

I'd chuck him a couple of years. Because it's worth, I didn't even mention. It's worth like, well, around 2 million, it depends on how much the things are worth at any given time, but it's around $2 million worth. So cool. Which is life-changing money for a lot of these people. That is life-changing money,

but if you're prepared to work 20 hours a day, doing anything, just do something else. Yeah, I agree. I have no patience, so I would not be that interested in this. 20 hours a day. And many could you earn 20 million. No, it's 3 million. 2 million.

All right, 2 million, 20 hours a day for how long? That's a lot of money. I'm not going to earn that in my life, right? So why don't I roll the dice? And maybe you're nothing for the rest of my life. Maybe die. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. So I don't know roll the dice and maybe you're nothing for the rest of life. You may be dying. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. But it's kind of cool to know that maybe in our lifetime, someone will find it.

It's only been out for 10 years. Yeah. Someone's got to find it eventually, right? Surely. Why not us? Why not you? You don't know me? Yeah.

Well, that's it. That's the story. Fantastic story. Great report, Bob. We love you. Thank you so much. You done me? Yeah. Well, that's it. That's the story. Fantastic story. Great report, Balfe. We love you. Thank you so much. And we're back in the room.

Wow. Fantastic. And that was seamless. In a way, a mystery episode all along. Yeah, love it. So good. Well, now it's time for everyone's favorite section of the show, the Patreon Shoutout section. Firstly, we love to do this section called the Fact Quotal Questions section, which has a little jingle.

Fact Quotal Question Bing! And in this, we read out a fact or quote or a question from one of our Patreon supporters. If you want to get involved in this, you can go to patreon.com slash do go on pod and if you support us on the Sydney Shamburg Deluxe Rest in Peace Memorial edition level, you have to give us a fact to quote or a question and then we'll read a couple of them out. I've said most of that already but geez, it's a sentence so nice, I thought I'd say twice. So this week we've got George William Hembery. And you also get to give yourself a title, and George is giving himself the title,

Captain of the amateur match shirt impersonators Guild. I've never heard anyone impersonate me before. What about us? We do it all the time. All the time. Yeah, I may be people impersonate me to me all the time. Absolutely. He's like, well, sounds pretty normal to me, what you doing? I think Ben Russell has maybe impersonate me to me.

And he just, he makes it sound like I'm a real dopey idiot. It's crazy. It's crazy. He's way off. It's way off. Anyway, George William Hembery, I'd love to hear your impersonation, although he's the captain of the guild. I don't know if that means he's an impersonator himself. I mean, he's the man.

He's an Abin man. Right. I was assuming he's risen to the ranks. As a captain, yeah, that's true. Anyway, he's given us a quote. I think quotes are probably the ones we get the least. I wouldn't give many quotes. But I'm ready to be inspired.

Okay. Inspired me to. I think most quotes we get are normally mildly baffled by. Sure. I think because it's usually important quotes to the people telling us. And if people do the quotes, feel free to give us a little bit of a blurb of what's important to you if you want to. No pressure. This is without explanation from George. He writes, How, and I don't read this until I read them,

Dave's closing his eyes, which I like, he's trying to really feel it. Taking it in. Yeah. How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity, okay, I'm gonna have a gnarly go of that, continuity, okay.

How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks? That's from Gordy Knight by Dorothy L. Sayers. Is that name mean anything to you Dave? No, it wouldn't mean something to my old friend Gary chalk. Oh, yes from the The science hour one of our Patreon bonus episodes. That man loves ducks, he loves ducks. But Dorothy L. Sayers. Dorothy L. Sayers.

Gordy night or Goudy night, perhaps. How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks? I don't get it. How is Goudy's belt? G-A-U-D-Y. Okay, that's Gauley. I think you know what I mean like Gauley like. Oh, there. Excellent. I can take the end Tony. Gauley. Do you get it? I don't get it. Oh, I think they're just saying the continuity of ducks. Is that he had to know it? One more time from the time. Here we go.

With power fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks? I guess they lived their life in a pretty strict structure. They lived cycles, they fly north for the winter, or south for the winter, depending on where they're from, I guess, and then humans we zig and we zag. Oh man, do we zig and zag? They fly in a V. Oh is it

about the mighty ducks? Now I get it yes. Charlie he realized he was better off the us as an coaching position. Whereas humans you know they don't. We never realize. We never realize that. George Thank you so much. That's really made us think Thank you George. I love to think And from Joel Tremblay any relation to L.C. Trombo Bertrand. I'm certain there is I assume so yes Given himself the title of official 11th banana, which is a nice reference to the primates show. He's given us a fact Which I also love and this is, in true matte fashion, bracket pause for just to say fashion. Well, I mean, it's not me who says fashion in a weird way,

but OK, fashion. Fashion, oh, that'll go a distance. I think it's actually pronounced fashion, fashion. In true matte fashion, I haven't checked the accuracy of this fact. If you, well, that's actually a bit rough, but okay. I check all these later off air. If you were to add up the combined weight of all the ants on Earth,

they would weigh closely to the weight of all humans, about 8 billion humans versus 10 quadrillion individual ants. Wow. I think I've heard that before. That's too many ants. Again, I've never fact checked it. That is aillion individual ants. Wow. I think I've heard that before. That's too many ants. Again, I've never fact checked it. That is a lot of ants. It sounds interesting.

I know, I mean, ants would be flattered by that being called individuals, because they are not. They are like followers. Such yes, man. Yeah. Well, someone's gonna be leading them. That is me.

I'm the ant man. I'm the Ant-Man. I am the Ant-Man. I thought that was Paul Rudd. No, I often get confused with him. God, he's so hot and I'm gonna be... I get confused with him so hot and funny. He's so hot and funny. Oh my God.

Hannah love him a lot. I love him, so he's so hot and... I'm like, so funny. He's on... I can't remember which... He's on Conan's podcast and he's just very charming. Oh, he's so charming.

He's great, but I just can't. Bring myself to watch a film called Ant Man. Do you like, Ant do it? Ant Man's all right. It's probably there, there, some of the least favorite to films by the big Marvel fans, but I really like it. I don't think of myself as a bit of a Marvel CU fan. That's a cinematic universe.

I think the Captain America films are my favorites. Yeah, they're good. But I like them all, you know. I like the Ant-Man ones because it's not about saving the world from aliens coming in. It's not only from saving it from another sort of insect human. I love that. I can't remember what they're about, but I remember finding... And, oh, it's this actor's name.

He plays a cop in it. He's one of my favorite actors. He's so good in those films. He's also from, always be my maybe. Have you seen that? Yeah. Oh, oh. Oh, what's his name?

Yes. My fuck, me. Is that his name? I know his name. It's this is Randall Park. He's so good. Oh man and he yeah he's in at least one of the Ant-Man movies. He's so funny you know it's just like a a cop who's doing his best but he's sort of it just doesn't quite get he's a great straight man so funny in it. You know the straight man who are actually,

as funny as the loose man or whatever the other man is? Like Lano from Lano with these, he's sort of the straight man, but he's so fucking loose. So funny. Yeah. Okay. Did I get through his fact?

Yes, the end. Yeah. Thank you so much. It was a great fact, Jola. I love it. If true and George, I'm going to be longing and bear to wait. I'm not thinking about your quote, about ducks. Feel free to tweet in or whatnot or put in the Facebook Patreon group. What it means to you. And if you're actually a duck or a duck lover, like Gary Chalk. So that's the fact-quite-a-question section.

Like I say, get involved at patreon.com slash do go on pod. So many rewards you get, including now three bonus episodes per month, starting next month, including one bonus mini report. We say mini report, but they're normally... At least an hour. They go for an hour, which is as long as these episodes, because we don't have to pay for them. Yeah, you're right, actually. So it is basically, do you just get a bonus report? You get a random episode, which is a game of weird celebrity heads.

And the celebrities were people that we've talked about on the show before. So it was fun to see who remembered the most about people we've mentioned on the show. Yeah. That one's always something fun and silly, just a bit loose. The science hours been a few of them, which definitely divided patrons. And it was on like an improv show where we played these science-y characters. And the other one is of course,

the brand new Patreon exclusive podcast series that is phrasing the bar. We will be going through the films, one by one, in chronological order of Brendan Fraser. Yes, Frazier. Still on the list. So many reports are often some of the, my favorite reports as well.

You'll Greg Norman one last month. It's like, oh, that sounds like that'll be boring. But it was so good. Yeah, it's a lot of time. I love it so much. Jess has done so many great ones about the marathon. Not a no for marathon. Where I laughed harder than I ever have in my life.

Jeff, they're talking mongers, another classic. The Nanny, where all about that, so yeah, a lot of fun there. Anyway, the other part of our Patreon shout out section is where we thank a few of our long term supporters. Often the weight is normally about a year, but because of our shitty system on Patreon of sorting, we missed a few.

So these were still going back through people we missed. I've spent a long part of my COVID-19 lockdown going through the spreadsheets and finding the people we missed. Generally, it took me a couple of days working full-time on it. It was real fun. I actually enjoy spreadsheets, but anyway. I'm not a virgin. And I'm...

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER So, I'd love to thank... Oh, Jess, you know what I'm gonna come up with a little game? Yeah, I can't. I'm struggling a bit this time. What's in there treasure chest, maybe? Yeah, okay, great.

Is that makes sense? Yeah, what's in there treasure chest? That's a bit. You normally come up with a much more defined game. Well, no, because I was going to be like, what's their millionaire legacy? Oh, that's better. I like that more.

Is it? Yeah, right. I don't know. What's their quest? What do they leave behind as their legacy? Yeah. Is that the same as their treasure chest there? What could be?

But it could be something else. It could be, I wanna start a spelling bee with my name attached to it every year with a million dollars to the child who spells the best. It could be whatever, yeah. So firstly, I'd love to thank from Woodland Hills in California, IA, America. This guy's got a great name.

And he's been waiting patiently since 2018 good to years Jeremy Swade Jeremy Swade my God Do you exist? I don't believe everyone comes up with a fake name before they sign up to our Patreon Yeah, and that's smart. They've all got amazing names probably a nightmare for like billing discrepancies You know, but um, so this do you feel like you meet people with these names in real life? Like, I never do. I went to high school, say with a hundred people in my level. No one had a name as cool as Jeremy Swade.

No way. Yeah, good point. And if they did, they would have been, you know, the king of the quarterback. Yeah, right. Promp, whatever. Yes, for sure. Promp King, Jeremy Swade. We can only assume.

No, Dave, the king of the quarterback, Promp. Yes. The people who signed up. Is that a Promp attendant exclusively by quarterbacks from of the quarterback, Prom. Yes, the people who signed up, is that a prom attended exclusively by quarterbacks from around the state? Yes. All the people who signed up either side of Jeremy Swade were thanked in episode 172. Oh wow.

So thank you so much for waiting patiently Jeremy. All right, what's his legacy? So he's a multimillionaire about to die. Is he going to leave a music bowl? What's he going to leave? He a multimillionaire about to die. Is he gonna leave a music bowl? What's he gonna leave? He's gonna leave a shoe factory making exclusively Swade shoes. Oh Jermy Swade shoes and and so

His money goes is the shoes for the needy. Yes. Wow. So he's leaving shoes for the needy and how does so they invest the money in the stock market or whatever and then they use the dividends to make shoes. I love this so much. Yeah. Jeremy swayed. That is a beautiful gesture. Yeah. So needy people are getting around in I've what's swayed that's that's leather right. It's a very leather. It's very similar to leather. And it's a lovely material. Switches. You know, the episode of Sunfeld, where he's wearing a suede, it's based on his bit about how you can't go out in the rain and suede. He wears a jacket inside out, but the lining is pink and white straps. So he's too embarrassed to wear it like that. So he wears it the other way around and it ruins the suede. And then... That's so dumb and then there's a bit like his stand up bit the toss it together He's like something about I'm gonna butcher it. You know how he works on every words

Sun felt so I'll do it exactly the same but something like Swade you can't go out in the rain wearing Swade. It's made out of cow skin. What are they doing? You can't go out in the rain wearing suede. It's made out of cow skin. What are they doing? Cows in the rain. And everyone laughs. That was pretty good. Yeah, look up the real version.

It was funny, though, but. But thank you so much Jeremy Suede and well done for leaving behind a shoe factory. I would also like to thank with very little information about yourself, including your location or your surname, but I'd love to thank Aiden. Thank you, Aiden. Oh, mystery Aiden. So there's got to be some sort of mystery to Aiden's legacy as well, you know?

Yes. I was going to suggest, what if he's left behind some sort of mystery box? Okay. I'll have a treasure. I'll have a treasure. No, I'll have a treasure. Oh, we don't know. It's a mystery box. Okay. I'll try to do it. I'll be sure. Oh, we don't know. It's a mystery box. There might be something in there. Oh, there might be nothing. So everyone who chooses to play, they're offered either you can take 10 grand or what's in the mystery box which you have to find

and then everyone does it. I'll take the 10 grand. Yeah, I'll take 10 grand for sure. He's a, he's a, he's a status showed out, $10 million. I don't care if the box has a billion dollars in it. I'll take the 10. I'll take 10 grand for doing nothing. Yeah. Are you kidding me? So if you're like, I can have 10 grand cash now when I get to go home.

Yeah, 10 grand cash please. Well, all those game shows, TV game shows that have that kind of option where you can take the money or take the mystery or play on or take the mystery box basically the same idea you're playing for the gambling what you got I'm like no matter what it is I'll take the cash. It's like you've got $500. Yes I would be a big gambler and since I've basically quit gambling I haven't gambled

anything since 2013. So you want so someone said you can have this sale of the century board game and commemorative key ring or you can play on tomorrow night and play for 10 grand. You're like I'll take the board game of the key ring. Oh look I still know odds. I think I'll gamble away the key ring. This is it Dave. Why do we have 20 14?

24 days last summer gambled on some annals in the Melbourne Cup and the horse I bet on died of a hard attack. Oh no That's funny in how tragic that is. Yeah, I'm real I because I'd already been toying with the idea that Horse racing was a big cruel on the horses. I'm like all right. I think that feels like a song. Yeah Can I think some people as well? I'd love it if you did I would love to think from Edinburgh Oh Tom Gray Tom Gray I love see some names like that doesn't sound like it's sort of like it's so plain that it is Magnificent it's beautiful. Yeah, it sounds like a character still and it sounds like like a character living in Edinburgh

Totally yeah, Edinburgh. It's very great, but I would have told. I would have told him. Oh, it's so gorgeous. I would have called him Tom Sandstone. Because it's all the buildings here. I'm looking at the cameras as if anyone's watching this. No one's watching this. I do that a lot at home as well.

I'll say something funny when I bought myself and then turn to the camera that isn't there. I've said too much. No, I appreciate you sharing that. You psycho. I was in an Aconan's podcast this week and he mentioned that's how he wants to die. He wants to know he's about a die in 10 seconds and then say something and look to the imaginary camera and then die. That's good. That is good stuff. So what would be Tom Gray's legacy? Oh okay so I reckon he's got millions and I think he's gonna put it into caring for pigs.

Yes I think he cares a lot about. Any pigs that are found by his organization to be mistreated, he will purchase those pigs and then pamper them. So it'll be the pampered pigery and these pigs will just live like kings for the rest of their lives. Just pigs. Just pigs. No, so if he... Or hogs, you know, anyone in the pig family.

But if anybody from his organization goes to a farm and sees pigs and cows and horses being mistreated They just take the pigs well, you know, he's only one dead man. I'm just checking so like maybe they'd like notify the people Yeah, I'm sure they notified the other one of the horse millenia. Yeah, okay Okay, I'm gonna go through the species. Well, that sounds really lovely and I'm talking right. We thank you for your about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about.

That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about.

That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. Tony, what about Tony is dedicated his legacy to getting the world's second tallest mountain and building it up and then also demolishing the top of Mount Everest so that the second tallest mountain becomes the tallest mountain. Is that? How do you build up a mountain? What? What? What? What?

Yeah, you've got to start there. You're doing great. Hey. You're not number two in mile. I was real tall. Is K2 number two? Why is it called K2? I think it's because it has an unpronounceable name. Right. It was native tongue. I love this idea. Did you ever watch your Royal H.C. fan? A little bit. There's sort of a parody sports commentating duo in Australia. They're so funny. They, in the Sydney Olympics in 2000,

they had a show called The Dream. And then for the next Winter Olympics, they had a show called The Ice Dream. And they started a campaign during that show because Australia doesn't have any mountains tall enough to host the Winter Olympics. So they started a campaign to have Mount Cosiosco's peak to be built up high enough so that it could host the Winter Olympics. And the closest town is called Smiggins Hole. So they're like,

where we want the Smiggins til, Smiggins 20 tan or whatever the idea was. And they wanted, they were starting a campaign for people to donate their rubbish. So we'd build up Mount Cosiosco with rubbish until it was tall enough to host the Olympics. Oh, that's beautiful. The smiggins tilt. Once it's covered in snow, you'd never know.

You wouldn't. Maybe that's the way that he's going to do it. Get on your Tony. Yeah, so first with compliments and then with rubbish. And then with rubbish. Dave, do you want to thank some people to bring us home? Yes, would you mind if I borrowed your lovely iPad? Of course.

I was shut itself and there's no longer connected. And while we do that, I thought to Pantera from Dallas, but they're actually from Arlington, which I don't know why I thought they're from Dallas. Maybe they were living in Dallas. Anyway, listen to the Pantera podcast where I would have explained all of it The Pantera episode of our podcast I haven't started a new podcast called the Pantera podcast You'd love that I'd call it hell yeah

A podcast I'm at you are right K2 is the second tallest mountain well That's just a coincidence or Maybe that's but then but that must be why it's called but I think it does have another name. Right Also known as Chaguri. I was spelled with C double H. Don't say that too. Often there you go. Well, he's going to build up K2s to be taller than Mount Everest. To take away, Mount Everest has had that title for too long, I think.

Yeah, it's going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm going to be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good.

I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good.

I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good.

I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be good. by dynamite. Alright, I would like to thank from the Australian capital territory. Oh, yes. I'm coming to here with a bloody, the big top, the circus up there. I would like to thank Ancesthevacence. What an anxious. Ancesthevacence. I love that so much.

Alright, so what I think they're going to do, do, but you're gonna have to explain why this is a good thing to do. So I haven't thought of you. I'm just gonna say a thing, free-balling here. Ansis ever since is gonna purchase all of the world's aniseed. And then what do they do with it? I'm not entirely sure what aniseed is.

It's used to make licorice flavoring, which I hate, they're gonna buy up all the Anisee and throw it in the ocean. So the whales can enjoy it. Then fish will taste like Anisee, Dave. You cannot get rid of you, you have to burn it. All right, burn all of the Anisee. I have it all.

I hate licorice, it's disgusting. I love it. I think you've helped me realize why that came to mind. I was thinking it was just because his or her name is a little bit like aniseed Ancesth, but it's also because this week every couple of weeks I'll buy a block of dark chocolate and I mix it up a bit this week I bought liquorish dark liquorish chocolate which has been pretty good, but it's not my favorite nuts are always better But yeah, tell you, you were telling me, it wasn't the start of this episode or maybe off air,

you were saying how my favorite chocolate is fruit and nut. Fruit and nut. That was maybe when I was a kid. But my favorite now is Blint Dark Chocolate Chili. Oh my god, it's so good. The graduated in taste. It's so good.

I love it, I love a chocolate with salt. That, I was gonna say that's my number two. I love salt so much. I love a chocolate with salt that I was in a sense my number two love salt so much Link dark chocolate with salt brilliant and then the next one be the hazelnut to the almond nutty ones Yeah, I'm disappointed that you don't remember that fruit nut thing because As a semi-joke yesterday, I bought you a block of it's coconut rough fruit and nut From big W that was on special it was down from $5 to 30 cents That's how much I like coconut rough. Yeah, I love both of those so much. I saw fruit and nut and I thought I've got a Bar that's a matter because he loves fruit nuts so much. We keep apparently don't I love I don't remember

Telling that origin story. I'm yeah, I don't know. Let me get I've got in my bag here But I love both those things. I definitely will not remember loving't know. I've got a my bag here, but I love both those things I definitely were not remembering food not and I reckon it was just because it was around But I wouldn't have known about the others too much. That's so love it. Yeah, it's so hated this flavor that it's 30 cents That's amazing that did not come off because that's too great flavor separately They are an abomination I love how you review it. It's fun to add and And thank you to Ancesth for supporting the show, Festival, and also for destroying the field.

That is the courage. Thank you. And finally, I'd like to thank Kiran McLeary, who's supporting us from Monophith, Angus Great Britain. Fantastic. Wow. Angus, is Angus, that's going to be in Scotland, right? Feels like?

Yes. I think so. But I've never heard of Monophith. Monophith? Kiran McLeary and that's a fantastic Scottish name. That's incredible. McLeary. Kiran McLeary.

And Kiran, fuck, I started talking like I had something confident now I've just sort of, because I've started with this tone now it's on me to come up with something. What about Kiran's doing a great service to people? Yeah. Actually, no, no. Sorry, that doesn't make any sense.

What were you thinking? Well, it's going to be doing great service to people and buying back sex tapes that people don't want to add in the world. That is great. But then supporting people that are selling them against the other businesses will. Oh, yeah, that is great. So I decided that that was probably not so nice. Okay.

Because it comes like a blackmailing topic. Oh yeah, that is bad. So I decided that that was probably not so nice. Okay. Right. It comes like a black malee type thing. Well maybe he's doing it in a way where he's not buying it back. He's conning it back. Yay! He's buying it back! Concent back! Concent back!

So he pays for it all with checks and the checks always been. Yeah. But he gets away with it. And the people who check, the ones they go to cash them in, the cops are waiting for them and they go away. So he He gets the tapes back He's like Murders serial killers, you know, right?

I've just looked up Monophie that is in Scotland the closest big city nearby is Dundee Which is where Stuart's Dundee decant is from a cheap scotch with my surname on it. Oh, because listeners, as I probably know, Stuart being a very Scottish name. Very Swiss. Well, look, I'm one Italian. Eighth Swiss Italian? Not quite. Well, I think one quarter, but I'm allowing one eighth Swiss Italian. And then I'm something like one eighth Scottish or one quarter Scottish.

Okay. And then the rest is pretty much Irish. Right. Fascinating, isn't it? I agree, yeah. That's great. I mean, just the family history is always really interesting. I'd be so keen to do one of those DNA breakdowns, but I've heard they just, they keep your DNA on fire. I'm like, I don be so keen to do one of those DNA breakdowns, but I've heard they just, they keep your DNA on file. I'm like, I don't want them to have my DNA. I just want to know what it is.

Just in case you become a serial killer, is that why? Why, I don't know. It feels like something should, you know, it just feels weird for a privately owned company to have that kind of information. Or anyone really, apart from maybe a doctor. Your doctor.

Yeah, doctor. Well doctor. Your doctor. Well, there we go. We do. Thanks to all the Patreon supporters, we appreciate that. We'll shout out to you one day. We'll get to you. We promise.

You'll get there. Promise. Sorry for the people that's been into life, but that's not quite the end. No. Jess, as I look to see if anyone's being inducted in the Triptage Club, Dave, do you want to explain what the Triptage Club is? And Jess, then do you want to give us an order and a cocktail for them to enjoy this week?

Everyone who's already in there as well as these new inductees. There's a relatively new Petron reward where we are shouting out to people that have been supporting the show at the shout out level for three years, consecutively with no breaks and for people, just to give them an extra big thank you, we've come up with a little club called the TripDitch Club because they've been supported the show for over three years. And there's not too many people in this club so far. It's quite exclusive. And it's a bit of a party club, though.

Yeah. And this week, actually, it's more like a, it's a bottomless brunch kind of vibe. Oh, wow. My most is. So no pants. But pancakes. But pancakes. We've got mimosas, yes.

Espresso Martini's and Bloody Mary's. Wow. There's a lot of three drink specials. Obviously, any coffee tea, juices and stuff that you want if you don't want to drink, there's no pressure. But then food wise. That was real fun.

Like that character. I think I was channeling a little bit of a Laura Dunham in character. Oh, yeah. I can hear that. Gee, she does a good character. She's very funny. But then food wise, we've got baskets

of assorted pastries, Danishes, croissants, chocolate croissants. Well, almond croissants? Yes, almond croissants. There's also a pancake station where this gentleman named Carl will make you pancakes. He's a wizard with that thing.

You've got to ask him for his tomato and fused pancake. That's my hot tip. Tomato pancake. My brain was saying strawberry, but my man said tomato. Strawberry pancake, delicious. Chocolate chip pancake, very good. His savory tomato pancake is to die for. Just to die for.

So yeah, we've basically got a breakfast buffet. I want to be there. And I will be soon. As soon as we clock off, I'm going to get the ducking of the club. Thank goodness for that. Because every other buffet in Australia has been shut down. I think God, we can keep going. Not the trip-dip-d Anna Casey from Canberra and Isaac Smith from Leeds in West Yorkshire.
