Thank you. How was that brave? Because they're like, are they gonna pick on me, which we're not, we're not at all. This fucking idiot, you don't think we're gonna hit him. at all.

I'm gonna get mean Last night before Matt did a stand-up show last night, which I know all of you went to Some of them did right, oh Who was that then The room was very dark. I thought there were people there. And Jess and I went out for some cocktails beforehand and Jess, I must admit, you had one
Starting point is 00:05:34 marital when you went and I'm feeling buzzed. I am. I was in a good place. So day drinking again. I hope, let's just keep those pines coming for Jess because that would, what are you called them in Sydney? Scissors. Go fuck yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I'm a pint of suck on this. And the way that Buffy will look at you up here when he asks for a pint, they go, mate, we do scoomers here. And I don't know. They do pints as well, Dave, you're thinking of pots, you fucking idiot. And they call pots middies. You call pots middies. They're Ugh. You call pots-mitties. They're what do you call a mitties?
Starting point is 00:06:09 I don't know, we don't have mitties. Just thought I'd go with that. This is a fun geography chat. Yeah, it really is. The slight difference is between. Did I call them potato scolops up here, too, instead of potato cakes? Yeah. Sorry about that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Just scallops. Then what do you call a scallop from the ocean? A potato cake, yes correct. Very good. Very good. Very good. It's just the little differences. It's the little difference.
Starting point is 00:06:35 How funny is that? He's pretty funny. But we are very excited to be here. It's a special weekend for us, not just because we're doing our first interstate podcast, but because a little certain someone Name Jessica purse Perkins persons. She is the person. Perkins. I know her name celebrated her birthday yesterday As you know that we've talked about a lot Dave and I are two days apart. So it's Dave's birthday tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Woo! Woo! Woo! If I were wooing someone being born on a certain day, who gives a fuck? Matt has also celebrated many hundreds of birthdays in his life at home. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:07:19 That's good. That's good. That feels real good. That's real good. And yeah, we're both 27 27 and today is the 27th. So we're like, oh, there's a 27th themed party. That is right. She's a very specific, fuck, this chair's the best.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Look at this. I feel like it's not hard to listen. For people at home, it's like, well, they're all used to hearing me and not seeing me. I think my face is a bit much. They're like, she's very expressive. Well, speaking of your face a bit much, we actually, this is another very exciting development
Starting point is 00:07:52 ladies and gentlemen, we have for the first time ever T-shirts of the podcast. We've got T-shirts. They are excited. They are over there at the bar and they are drawing of our faces as pictured in the do-go-on logo that we have for the show. We got a good friend and very funny man Nick Kappa who matched you with the show last night. And he was also as you would all know.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Remember the funny one from last night, the funny one, he was great. Too real Dave, too real. I saw Matt show, it had been 12 months nearly exactly since I first saw you do the show when you were warming up at Melbourne at the French festival, and it was fantastic. I've got to say, it really was. You are so cool. But so Nick Cabr is also a graphic artist.
Starting point is 00:08:40 We asked him to draw us, like a cartoony version of us, to put on the t-shirt. And he was like, he's never had to draw us like a cartoony version of us to put on the t-shirt He was like he's never had to draw Three more fucked faces. He said lopsided He said I love you guys individually, but to draw you are lopsided Hey, while we are talking about t-shirts. What was your name sir? Can you stand up and show Jess what you're wearing? It's two out. They're wearing pray for Bob T-shirts.
Starting point is 00:09:15 This is, I did not know this before, that is amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, but also that is Canapit merchandise. I was lucky to remove it immediately. No, no, no. I hope you printed like 40 of them and I'm going to sell them, because you'll probably outsell us. That's so awesome. I'd like, if I could just check in with the people who haven't heard of this podcast before. How tedious has it been so far?
Starting point is 00:09:37 This is the general thing, yeah? That's about it. After about 80 episodes, you get used to it. So, um, strap in. Strap in for episode 97. Here we go, loads of gentlemen. All right. So we, we're to get into the topic now because it is a special weekend for us all. We've decided. All of us are very excited about Dave and I turning 27. That's right. So because it is a sort of a special edition of the show, we've decided to write not one, not two, but three mini reports.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So you're going to get a little bit of day, a little bit of just a little bit of man action. And when you say write the reports, I feel Matt and I have taken that word a little more liberally and uh... What did you draw them? Yeah. I'm going to do my report on interpretive dance. I'm going to get my leotard on, hang on. I wrote mine at the cafe across the road. They give me a free brownie if I plug them. I cannot remember their name, but across the road from the Chippo Hotel, very, very good. Do yourselves a favour. So, if you haven't heard the show before, which a few of you have not, we talk a lot like this.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And then we try and report on a topic, but because it is the special one, we're going to do a little topic each. Except, Dave, you admit that yours is almost full topic. All right, so we could be here for at least three hours. I couldn't carry it away. I couldn't run a many reports. So we're going to see
Starting point is 00:11:05 how this goes. Now, this topic, I was going to get the question was going to be, how old did Jess turn yesterday and God willing I turned to normal? But imagine how I'm going to set what would be if you did die time, you know? Jess and I are getting on a plane later this afternoon. Oh my god. Now we're on. Anyway, it's a great question. So, but do you guys remember how old we turning or turned? 27. 27.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Now, 27. Yeah, good boys and girls. Now, 27 is a very magical number in the world of celebrities for a very specific reason. Does anyone know a certain 27 club? 27 club? That's what I was going to say. Does anyone know a certain club around the number 27? That was going to be even too obvious for me. Do you think they're children? Oh! Now so what we're going to do is each do a report on a member of the 27th Club. And it might as well be a full report. And then if we have time, God willing,
Starting point is 00:12:11 Jess and Matt will do a report as well. We don't know who each other are doing. No, we do not know. Jess is spinning. Yes, Jess, I feel like this could be how you joined the 27th Club. Yep, good point. Yep. Other people have to be careful for a year. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Now, so we don't know who we're going to report them, but we're going to third party, we all message party and we message them a name. And they wrote back saying whether or not that name had been taken yet. And just in our message to the person saying, hey, which Matt was supposed to organize. And so one told you about this, are we just messaging you celebrity's names? Which reminds me, I used to do trivia nights. And one of the games was people to win a jug of beer
Starting point is 00:12:55 would have to text in the name of celebrity that was slowly appearing on the screen. And I did this every night for a year, and then this pub in Fitzroy. And one day, one of the punters told me they're like I was wondering why like you never pick mine because they texted me the answer like I always get the answer right and you never pick the answer They worked out that they had the wrong number And they only found out because one day they got a text message on a Monday night every Monday at about 9 30
Starting point is 00:13:21 They got a message back saying stop texting my 10 10-year-old son celebrity's names. I will call the police. And that's how we're doing that. He's not sending you 10-year-old son celebrities' dicks. No, he would just get Leonardo DiCaprio. Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson. It's happening again, mum. It's happening again.
Starting point is 00:13:43 So that's kind of what happened with our third party, but we're none of us pick the same celebrities, we have all gone different celebrities. And we've also been told the era they died, so we're going to go in chronological order, and I'm going to kick us off. Now if you don't know, the 27 club is a theoretical club that it's difficult to get an actual membership. They're have jackets. You do not get a jacket. Well you get plastic underpants and they pack your ass. That's the only cover you get to.
Starting point is 00:14:14 A theoretical club that connects famous people who have all tragically died at the age of 27. It is sometimes called the forever 27 club as you are, forever 27 years young. It mostly connects to musicians who die at the young age, but over time is the expanded to include other celebrities. How are people had presumably been dying at 27 for millennia? It wasn't just a recent occurrence. I think. So when you Google the phrase, people from history who died at 27, it nothing comes up.
Starting point is 00:14:43 It was actually invented in the 1880s. Yeah. Dying at 27? Yeah, yeah. What? What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:14:54 What? No, no. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Don't think I'm serious. Jonald! Regret face! Woo! First odd thing. I don't regret that was a sweet riff. Jonald! It died too young that riff. That 27 seconds in, I think.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Jonald? Fuck. Who was Jonald's last name? Javitson. Yes. Fuck. What was Johnal's last name? Javitson. Yes. You know the story, right? So people have been dying 27 for a long time, I imagine.
Starting point is 00:15:33 But it took a while for people to notice and start connecting the dots. So our story starts in the 1960s. What a time to be alive and what a time to die at 27. Here we go. Our first stop on the tour of death. We did not think this through, but I do. Come on down to a dungeon. We get a couple of people talking about people dying. Quite young, like you all look. So, how fun. And all these people have probably achieved more than everyone here combined.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And all these people have probably achieved more than everyone here combined. So... Oh, this guy's made a t-shirt? Yeah, yeah, sorry. And trust me, that is not easy. So our first stop on the tour of death is a young man. They're all young people. Oh. Brian Jones. Not a cool name, is it?
Starting point is 00:16:23 It's a very boring name. Now, when I say the rolling stones, now you probably think of Keith Richards or Mick Jagger. But let me tell you, by the way, they are two men who absolutely refuse to die and presumably are trying to set up their own 127 club. That is what I think they're doing. But back in the day when the band was formed in 1962, the main man and band leader of then blues-orientated act was Brian Jones. He was the main man.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And they were blues, were they? Yeah, and they mainly did covers at the time. He even named the band. He named it after a Muddy Waters LP. He was on the phone and they were like, what do you want to call your band? And he looked at it and one of the tracks was called Rolling Stone.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Cool. And they called the band the Rolling Stone, so. I would like to imagine that he's just standing at his kitchen at the sink doing some dishes and he looks out the window, go with me on this. Oh no. Was John- There's a John- John- John- John-
Starting point is 00:17:20 John- John- John- John- John- John- John- John- John- John- John- John- Yeah, John old was over that's why they had so many dishes you know John old Yeah, see either big a don't just use the pizza box journal Creating dishes you've only got a plate. Well, you get another one John old anyway So Brian's looking out the window and he lived in a very hilly area beautiful and just look at this is so not worth it
Starting point is 00:17:43 Because we know what? You've got to say this, like a stone rolling down. You know, it's not that funny. Oh, yeah. Very, very. That is good. You are. It's not too kind.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I don't deserve you. Yes. That's how you comedy. That was amazing. That was like a pullback in reveal. When you started, you said a healer. I was like, where is he going? Rolling.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Rolling. I just can't connect these dots. But you did it. You did it. When you get to my age mate, you know, um... God willing, God willing. Come on, you'll make a lot more sense then. There'll be a lot of that today too, by the way. Well, yeah, when I listen back to edit tomorrow, I'll be like, oh, that is funny. That is funny. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Boy, I just admitted to editing it. Yes, we don't have to do it. Oh. Oh. Fuck. Born in 1942 during World War II to Welsh parents. What, you, sorry? 1942. Oh, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yes. Good work. Jones suffered from asthma as a child and throughout his life. Sorry, Dave. I just said in a little silent moment there, some in the audience said, that's a recurring joke. I heard that, that was fucking adorable.
Starting point is 00:18:55 That's a joke, Ben Egg. Joke is such a strong word. It does not deserve to be called a joke. Certainly recurring. Will she let it die, never. His mother and father both played music, and by the time he was in high school, Brian had learned to play the piano, clarinet, and saxophone. saxophone. saxophone.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Oh, he received a guitar for his 17th birthday. The piano. The clarinet. The saxophone. He received a tough, 17-year-old. The clary net. The saxophone. He received a guitar. For his 17th birthday, and that became his main instrument then. But it wasn't all rock and roll for the young Jones.
Starting point is 00:19:34 No, no, no. He enjoyed Badminton and diving at school and played the first clarinet in the school orchestra. No! But he quit school and left home shortly after a scandal in which he fathered an illegitimate baby boy who was subsequently given up for adoption because apparently being into badminton didn't not slow down your sex life in the 1960s.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Help! The ladies could not get enough of his shuttlecock. Let me just say that. Let me... Yes, that's a pretty repaired joke, but I still... So good. So good. Let me just say that. Yes, that's a pre-repair joke, but I still so good. So good. My, my, the cogs were taking my head, I was like shuttlecock, shuttlecock. Do you something with shuttlecock and you did it. That's great. That's great. Thank you. He lived with a, with a big hill and he's pecky out. Shuttlecock. Shuttle cock didn't not roll down. Don't do that. Jan, did someone say, Janiel? That's good.
Starting point is 00:20:28 That's an only Donna reference. What was my one? Have I ripped off any Donna? No. Yours was. Oh, fuck him. Johnal. Johnal.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Totally different. That's the only thing you need to know is that our attention span is very short. And we get distracted and forget our own jokes. So yeah. Alright, so he's got one kid. Okay, and he's had to leave school because of it. And I really, really mean the shuttlecock thing because
Starting point is 00:20:52 you will see in November 1959, eight to 17, Jones went to the wooden bridge hotel in Guilford to see a band perform. He met a young married woman named Angeline there and the two had a one-night stand that resulted in her pregnancy. He is fertile little fucker and a- So that's number two. Angeline and her the two had a one-night stand that resulted in her pregnancy. He is fertile little fucker indeed. So that's number two. Angeline and her husband decided to raise the baby, Belinda, born in August 1960. Jones never knew about the birth of his second child. Then on 23rd of October 1961, Jones now aged 19, his girlfriend Pat Andrews gave birth to
Starting point is 00:21:22 his third child, Julianne Mark Andrews. Just didn't so much done. Jones. I'm 27, I haven't had any kids. And if you want, if you have a partner, you want Jones because he sold his record collection to buy flowers for Pat. Flowers to help erase his new child. Fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Oh yeah. Babe, babe the LPs, I like got some lavender. Did you get nappies? Oh fuck. House smells half a pair of half a flapper. Oh yeah. I live with them for a while, but then moved on. Then in 1964, another woman, Linda Lawrence, who was later married to the singer, Donovan.
Starting point is 00:22:10 She gave birth to Jones' fourth child, Julian Bryan. So he's got four kids now. In 1961, just before this, Jones had applied for a scholarship to Cheltenham Art College. He was initially accepted into the program, but two days later, the offer was withdrawn after an unidentified acquaintance wrote to the college, he was initially accepted into the program, but two days later the offer was withdrawn after an unidentified acquaintance wrote to the college calling him an irresponsible drifter. Man, I think because he'd spent all his money on flowers.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I like the idea of a responsible drifter. Yeah, that's all. I'm here for just a couple of really sweet quips. And then you're tuned in and out. The last thing I heard was shuttlecock. Don't miss anything. Drifter, that's right. And now he's got four kids.
Starting point is 00:23:00 He's got four kids so far. A lot of you. How many? Four kids. And the question is, do they know what was causing it? Do they know? Actually, five is my minimum for that joke, so I've gone a little oily there.
Starting point is 00:23:14 But don't worry, we'll get there. We'll get there. So he's been accepted into art college. Two days later, told you can't come into art college. So he moved. He moved. He moved. So he drifted.
Starting point is 00:23:23 You can't come into art college, because you're a bit too artsy. Fair, it makes sense. He drifted to London to play blues guitar in local bars. And then in 1962, he formed the Rolling Stones with pianist Ian Stewart, singer Mick Jagger, Jagger's childhood friend, and the guitarist Keith Richards. I'm sorry about the name, the Rolling Stones.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I'm not doing it again. Little fun fact about the Rolling Stones. Basis Bill Wyman and Drummer Charlie what soon joined the band. So then they are. As well as the guitarist, he acted somewhat as the band's business manager. And he was instrumental both on the guitar
Starting point is 00:23:59 and in their early success. Which one's instrumental on the guitar? I also thought, God, I'm good when I wrote that. You think God you're good for most things? God, I'm good. No, good on you. Do go on. So he's in the band.
Starting point is 00:24:12 According to biography.com, he was quote, the most photogenic member of the band. Reportedly, his antics and fashion sense were quickly adopted by the swingers of the 1960s London scene, just an influential cool guy. He's a cool dude. He's so cool. He legit is actually cool.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Matt. Yeah, no, he sounds pretty cool. He's legit cool. Oh, I didn't get the backhand element of that. Yeah, sorry. It's because he didn't signed out. He's managing the band. He's playing guitarist.
Starting point is 00:24:41 He's happening. He is the Rolling Stones. But then the band got a real manager called Andrew Luke Altman. And, uh, Jones... Luke. L.W.G. Luke. Everyone have a go.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Luke. Silly. That's a silly name. How do you spell that? L.W. So you did literally just say that. Jones felt himself being pushed away by the Luke. I was going to call him Old Men as his name is. I'm just saying that. Jones felt himself being pushed away by the Luke.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I was going to call him old man, as his name is. His name is, let's call him Luke. Luke got recognized the financial advantages of band members writing their own songs, as exemplified by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and the playing covers would not sustain a band in their limelight for long. Brian didn't like this. He thought blues and covers were the way to go.
Starting point is 00:25:23 So he was not a very good manager. We should do covers of other podcasts. That'd be great. That'd be sick. Just the good ones though. Any requests? Serial? Who did it? Mason. Mason. Yeah, okay, cool. Lutkrite.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Absolutely, smash that. In early 1964 an occasional girlfriend of Brian's Dawn Molly, announced a Brian and the band's management that she was pregnant by Brian. Oh, fucksake. Does she know what did happen? Well, she received a check for 700 pounds equivalent to 12,000 pounds in today's money. Oh, I think. From the manager, Luke, in return, she signed an agreement that the matter was now closed and she would make no statement about Brian Jones or the child to the public or the press.
Starting point is 00:26:21 They brought her off. So in March 1965, Dawn gave birth to Brian's fifth child, Paul Molly. It was also adopted out. So now he has five kids by the age of 22. Not a bad effort, and keep him up. People were grossed out by that. Oh! Oh, kids. Hey, you were all once kids.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yeah, fuck sure. Well, keep him up, he is fathering none of these children One time he sold his records to buy flowers and that is the extent of his father. Fathering. That's it The kids ate eight on flowers for days. Eight on flowers for days. Check out Maddie Check out have a break Anyone got one Have a kick. Anyone? Go on. Joan saw his influence over the stone's direction slide as their repertoire comprised fewer of the blues covers that he preferred.
Starting point is 00:27:13 According to manager Luke in his book, Stone, about the rolling stone, Love a Punty. Love a Punty. I'll read ahead. My favorite is Arnold Schwarzenegger, Total Recall. Nice. Oh, I get it. There you go. That took way too long.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I was like, ah. See, it's a movie, it was in. Oh. The working title was Terminator, I'll be book, but did not go very well. According to Luke in the book, Stone, Jones was an outsider from the beginning. When the first two was arranged in 1963 for the band, he travelled separately from the other members, stayed at different hotels and demanded extra pay. He's like the yellow wiggle.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Oh yeah, the smelly wiggle. Sticky Greg. Sticky Greg. They're like you know it's alright Brian you go in that car. This one's full mate. I never knew anything about it and I always assumed he was some sort of a legend but he's actually they were better off without him. Is that fair? You did the Wiggles report mate. I was talking about Brian Jones you're fucking idiot. Oh, right, sorry. I checked that phone.
Starting point is 00:28:27 All right, so in summary, the Rolling Stones were better off without Smelly Greg from the Wiggles. There you go. You know how Dave and I have come up separately to you and you're staying in one place and we're staying in other? Oh, shit. Yeah. And you're demanding extra pay?
Starting point is 00:28:44 You're the smelly grey. As long as I get that sweet scrylla, which is a word for money, somewhere in town. When you've lived through that many decades, you can't remember them all. You can't. You can't remember them all. You can't. You can't. What is happening? Well, Matt, does this sound like you? The toll from days on the road, the money and the fame, the feelings of being alienated from the group,
Starting point is 00:29:18 having dozens of children, and the miles spent traveling from his hotel to the other stones hotel, and then back again, resulted in Jones overindulgence in alcohol and other drugs. That does sound like mad. Yeah, I'll relate, I'll relate. Jones was arrested for drug possession in May 1967. Authorities found marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine in his flat.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He confessed to marijuana use, but claimed he did not use hard drugs. I don't know how they got it. Yeah, it was a friend of mine. Play with it when I moved in. Yeah. Hostility group between Jones, Jagger and Richards especially, alienating Jones further from the group because what happened was Mick Jagger and Keith Richards started writing
Starting point is 00:29:57 all the songs, the originals and Jones felt like hey, this used to be in my band, it's going on. What would you do if you moved into a house? There's just a whole lot of men. What would you do? There's only one whole lot of mess. What would you do? There's only one thing you can do.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Full of police, interesting. Generally didn't think of that. I was like, what, I'm losing. I was gonna say, yeah, there's two options. The first one is not taking it. No, I wasn't gonna take it. But I was like, the second option. Except it.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Sell it, thank you. Sell it. Never take math kids. Always sell it. Always sell it. Always sell it. Always sell it. Always sell it. Never try your own supply.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I've been told. You've been told. You were told I'm a man. I'm a man dealer. You're that meth look-about, Jack. It's called heroin chic, okay? There's a name for it. Kate Moss in the 1990s, all right?
Starting point is 00:30:45 I would have killed if I was a woman in the 1990s. So you're saying that meth users, their look is heroin chic. That's confusing, but I like it. That's fashion, I don't get fashion. I don't get fashion. We know. We can see you. Oh, I know it's okay.
Starting point is 00:31:04 I'm sick of this bullying. Now I love it. Makes me realize my place. In the bloody gutter. Too much real sympathy there. By most accounts, Jones's attitude changed frequently. He was one minute caring in generous, the next making an effort to anger everyone, going out of his way, and piss people off. Sure. He was being the Dave. Where have I ever tried to piss you off?
Starting point is 00:31:37 Oh, you're not trying? Oh! Oh! We are saying it. We are. I told you I'd get mean. I finished the job. We are saying it an AirBnB up here. And I had the, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it,
Starting point is 00:31:48 we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying it, we are saying him from within the house, because we do not speak in person.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I was like, leave a towel out and be quiet. Now, good to be here. From 1965 to 1967, Brian Jones dated an Italian model named Anita Palinberg. A woman? That's not an Italian name. Anita Palinberg. That's a word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards No, you're thinking of a parallelogram
Starting point is 00:32:33 Is he doing a grip face? Maddie I know you would do a grip face. No, I was enjoying it too much I hated yourself. I was enjoying it too much. I'm very bad. I hated you so much. I was high fiving myself. I fucking nail in it. Anita Palinberg was a woman whose modeling agency built her as, quote, too beautiful to get out of bed. What is that?
Starting point is 00:32:56 It's me. But she did have many high profile relationships with that. I'm still thinking about it. She had many, many, many high profile relationships. You can't get out of bed because you're too beautiful. That doesn't make sense. Oh, okay, there's a mirror above the bed. Mirror above the bed, yeah. So she's like, oh god damn, I'm so beautiful. And then it depresses her. So she can't get out of bed. Still, nah, not my best. No, no, that was the best. No, no. That was your best. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:33:25 So, uh, she met the stones. This is Anita Pellanberg. Backstage in a gig and offered them drugs. Oh, she got out of bed. Yeah. No, they moved her bed. Yeah. It's like the backstage area.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Like one of those poor, these people that needs to be moved around. Yeah, yeah. They moved her to the backstage area. She was like, oh, it's beautiful to get up. That's why I accept for her too, Bella. I'm too beautiful. She doesn't have an Italian name or an Italian voice. It's very strange, that's just.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I'm too beautiful. Ciao, Bella. Ciao. She met the source backstage in a gig from her bed. It's not a tropical, Bella. That's, I'm too beautiful, an Italian. I'll go back here. That was your new best. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:34:11 New PB, new PB. I'm putting myself in a timeout. If you listened to last week's episode, you know that herself imposed timeouts mean nothing. So she met the stone's backstage Atticke from her bed, offered them them drugs and they said no. Ciao Rolling Stones, would you like a sum of the myth? Is that offensive?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Not if it's like Spon-on. It was Spon-on. It was Spon-on. Oh good myth and it was both. They said no to the dogs, but eventually Brian, he came and he smoked a bit of a hashish and sniffed some of her amulet tray. Oh, am I okay? He was loose.
Starting point is 00:34:57 She later recalled, quote, we ended up back at his hotel room and I spent all night holding him while he cried. That's why I did rock star. Yeah, that's how I party too. That's a rock star lifestyle. Hold me while I cry. Well, it went well because within a week the guitarist had evicted his girlfriend and their baby from his flat and moved in instead. It's got a sacks.
Starting point is 00:35:24 A victim or baby? That's not... He gave the kid two weeks notice. You're out in two weeks. Yeah, because it took her long for it to crawl out the door. I thought you were going to victim from your womb. I know that's... LAUGHTER
Starting point is 00:35:39 Was that... I mean, that got a weird reaction. I would have given it nothing, but you gave it. You gave it something, that made me feel okay. And Nita, presumably from her bed, introduced Jones to her world of sadomasochistic sex. They moved to... And then they cried, he's...
Starting point is 00:36:03 Oh! There's a lot of crying in sadomasochistic. And we're really sadomasochistic. Yeah. Oh, Sydney liked puns. You want puns? Right, okay. Sydney likes puns.
Starting point is 00:36:19 This changes everything. You should figure out what they like and then just give them what they want. Alright, okay. We're here. After the scene to the world of sadomasochism, they moved to a pad in Chelsea, which was especially soundproofed for all their fucking sex. Though apparently, according to some sources, not enough to muffle the crack of her whip. Oh, look going on in that sentence.
Starting point is 00:36:41 So she could get out of bed to get her whip. And then it was, oh, too beautiful. Ciao, whip. Did you factor in time for us to do our reports as well? Yep. He knows the length of our reports. Like, I don't know if this person existed. You've got to remember, like, this person existed. Don't play, see ya.
Starting point is 00:37:05 You've got to remember, like, these people all have a finite life span, which is 27 years. So don't worry, there's no one to go. Ah, spoiler. Jones, Palembourg, Anita Palembourg, the model, and Keith Richards, the three of them, went on a holiday to Marrakesh in Morocco, just to get away from the craziness of their life. On the way back to England, they were traveling up through Spain, Jones at the stop-off at a hospital, Anita Paloberg and Rich's continued without him, making love in the backseat
Starting point is 00:37:32 as Rich's chauffeur drove on. So rock and roll, eh? When Jones caught up with them, he alternated between screaming abuse and suggesting that Anita and him have a force and with two heavily tattooed sex workers that he had picked up along the way. When she refused, he assaulted her, which is not okay. Thank you for clarifying. Richards recognizing this is not okay.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Packed her into his Bentley and drove her straight. Packed her into his Bentley. And drove her straight. Packed her? Well, they went back to Britain. In the boot? In the cart. He just took her in the. It's like, I'll save you getting the boot. You know.
Starting point is 00:38:16 They left Jones to find his own way back home. Then, Anita Palabrug and Keith Richards became a serious couple. And according to his memoir, were banned from several airline toilets for occupying them for too long. Okay, no, no, no, no, no, hang on, they're not banned from the airline,
Starting point is 00:38:31 they're just banned from the toilet. It's like a 19-hour flight, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're holding it. Yeah, sorry, Mr. Richards, what do you think you're going to do? He's going, no, you are not. We don't have a problem with you flying with us. We do have a problem with you pooping with us.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Yes, that's right. You shit in the cockpit, okay? You do not go to the John. All right. Palemburg and Richards would go on to have three children together. So they became quite a serious couple over the years. But there was now a clear rift between Jones and Richards because Brian saw Richards as stealing his girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Interesting, but he would say that, yes. Look, different people's perspectives, am I right? I had the interpret it that way. Yeah, I don't know where he came, he got to that, but... Did wait, so I wasn't listening. Did he steal his girlfriend? Because that would make sense. Let me rephrase, there was a clear rift between Brian Jones
Starting point is 00:39:23 and Keith Richards, as Keith Richards had stolen Brian Jones' girlfriend. Okay, yeah, okay, great. You get it. As tensions in the band and Brian Jones' substance... I'm going to go solo here. Welcome to Dave's Hour of Power. It's gone straight to his head. That's right, it's an hour starting now, so.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Oh no. So tensions in the band are at an all-time high. Jones' substance abuse increased. His musical contributions to the group became less and less. So he's doing more and more drugs, but now playing guitar less and less on the recordings. Cool. He was arrested for a second time in 1968 for possession of cannabis.
Starting point is 00:40:05 The stones had enough of Brian. They wanted to two of the US, but because of his two arrests, he couldn't get a visa. So he's... Two arrests. I heard two arrests. Sometimes you're going to take two arrests, you know? Two arrests. You're arresting too much on tour for us to play the shows.
Starting point is 00:40:25 That's how it works. His attendance at rehearsals and recording sessions became erratic and when he did appear... Arotic. Arotic. Arotic. And when he did appear, he tried to have sex with the other members in the show. No, when he did it... If you could fuck an instrument.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Which one would you choose? Yep That's where I was going. Yeah, I've thought about that before. Yeah, you need a big old hole And I think the two both the two would be adequate I probably go The worst things you've ever said Big old hole What the fuck? My question was fucked enough.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Jesus. I don't know. You don't need a tube, but you need a piccolo, mate. Oh, hang on, hang on. What's a piccolo? Brian's output became so bad that when he did try and play guitar in the recordings they would secretly switch his amplifier off Brutal sometimes I feel like you guys turned my mic off. Yeah, we wish we could at this minute I like to get me to do that. No, please don't do that
Starting point is 00:41:43 According to author Gary Herman, Jones was literally incapable of making music anymore. When he tried to play harmonica, his mouth started bleeding. Oh. Playing Gums Murphy. Oh. It's groses, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:41:57 It's groses how long this report's going. Don't worry, he's about to fucking carcass. Spoilers? Let's make else really quick. Oh well, yeah. In March 1969, Jones borrowed the group's Jaguar. They had a... We need the group Jag, we need one. Yes, although I think we could afford a group 1993 Corolla. Do you think we could afford that? No. If a friend of ours was giving it away, slash selling it real cheap, maybe. For free. You know how much a yearly red show costs?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Oh, yeah, you're right. Do go on. He borrowed the group's jag. He went shopping in Pymlick-O-Road in London. After the parked car was towed away by police, because he parked it on no parking zone. Jones then hired a chauffeureur driven car to get home. So he charged the band for it. So they were pissed off about that.
Starting point is 00:42:49 He lost the jagged and then got a chauffeur. Then a couple of months later, he crashed his motorcycle into a shop window, left it there, and secretly took himself to hospital under an assumed name. That's so rock-and-wild. No, so she's not going well for him. He crashes a motorbike into a shop and then just leaves it there.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Like, is he? Sorry. So when he got out of hospital the next month in June, he was visited by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watson. He was told that the group he had formed would continue without him. Publicly, he came out and said that he was quitting the band due to musical differences, but really they kicked him out. Good to know.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Brian moved to Kuchvrid Farm in Isssussex, a property he'd bought in late 1968. Kuchvrid Farm had been owned by Winnie the Pooh creator AA Milne, and was where he lived when he wrote all the books, was inspired by the local landscape, which was very hilly and full of round stones. I think. And what's funny is all the hills. You get a stone to the top of them. Sometimes gravity will do the work, you know?
Starting point is 00:43:52 And they'll just bloody roll. And around midnight, Matt, you want to listen to this bit? Matt, you said, Matt, you listen. Oh, sorry. We've had an audience member leave. Yeah, someone had to go like, get on with their lives. Couldn't think, yeah, right. I think that she sensed that death was coming.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Matt, you want to listen to this bit? Because around midnight on the second, slash 3rd of July, as the clock ticked over from one day to the next, less than a month after he was kicked out of the rolling stones Brian Jones was discovered motionless at the bottom of his swimming pool and coach for the farm. That doesn't sound good Yeah, that's not promising. Don't worry. He's gonna be fine He's at the bottom of the pool. Yeah, that's fine. You're at the bottom of the pool exactly I don't know what my theory was there. That's the safest bottom of the pool. That's fine, you're at the bottom of the pool. Exactly. I don't know what my theory was there. That's the safest part of the pool.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah, oxygen sinks to the bottom. He's fine. His sweetest girlfriend, Anna Wallen, was convinced Jones was alive when he was taken out of the pool, insisting that he's still at a pulse. However, by the time doctors arrived, it was too late, and he was pronounced dead at his home. The coroner's report stated that it was death by misadventure.
Starting point is 00:45:09 That's the best! So good. I don't care how I die, make sure they put that on my death certificate, please. Misadventure. No, just put like a pageant thing on me that says, Miss Adventure. That is fantastic. And then pack my asses. With the sash? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:32 That's cool. How rock it rolls that? Fuck, I'm cool. The girlfriend, Wolland, was convinced that Brian Jones wasn't a suicide and probably wasn't an accident either. She went to point the finger at a handyman named Frank Thuragood, who'd been hired to finish up some odd jobs around the musician's home and she said, quote, I don't know Frank Mentekill, Brian, maybe it was horseplay in the pool that went wrong.
Starting point is 00:46:02 She actually found his list of jobs to do around the house because he's a handyman, so he's like, fix leaky tap, replace tiles in kitchen, push brine into pool, hold him under water. I think having... She's like, hmm, I'm going to a tour together. I think having horses in the pool was probably dangerous to her. LAUGHTER They're so big.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yeah, they are big. I don't know what to do with their hooves. Yeah, exactly. This bloke Thuragood, he was reportedly the last person to see Brian Jones alive. Just before he pushed him into the pool. But it took 40 years for the Sussex police to take this seriously and they finally looked into the case for the first time in four decades.
Starting point is 00:46:44 They found no evidence to contradict the original ruling of death by misadventure. The American police take this seriously and they have finally looked into the case for the first time in four decades. They found no evidence to contradict the original ruling of death by misadventure. Misadventure. It's the latest in the misconjunial and each franchise. Yeah, I reckon that needs a re-board for sure. I watched it recently, it holds up. It's so good. Joanne's old bandmates were in the recording studio when they got the news and Keith Richards wrote that there exists a one minute thirty second recording of Stevie Wonder song I don't know why which is then interrupted by a phone call saying that Brian was dead. Dave, Dave. Can I stop you there?
Starting point is 00:47:18 You've just turned 27. Congratulations. It's midnight on the 28th. I'm saying this is taking too long. I was going to do a report on Jimmy Hendrix. And I was like, I'll mention Brian Jones, because he was the first one to die. And then I never got around to Jimmy Hintris. Oh, this is you mentioning Brian.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Yeah, yeah. Fucking hell, dang. We're about to do Jimmy Hintris. Jimmy Hintris is my choice. All right, I'll wrap it up. Don't worry. Two days after Jones died, the Stones paid tribute to him at a free concert in Hyde Park, which
Starting point is 00:48:02 said already organized. 250,000 people watched them play. Is that all? A somber... I know, as we look out. No big deal. A somber Mick Jagger quoted a piece of poetry and member of Brian and that... Was it one of my poems? Yeah, it was. He got my book. The group released three and a half thousand That set off mark that she hates us Just out of the people at home. No, they heard me they felt it
Starting point is 00:48:39 Mesa little ball Shut up little ball The reason my report's gonna say long is because you've been a ball for two hours She's doing her best to make it fun, Dave. Hey, I know a good report. This is a fucking sick one, so. I'm doing a lot of the fun heavy lifting here, mate. You know what? I'm having a little talk. That would be the perfect time to fall off my chair. You know? Like, hey! I just wanted to say the group released 3,500 butterflies to, to, to, to, to, to, why were they keeping 3,500 butterflies prisoner? No, no, that sentence took way too long.
Starting point is 00:49:14 But if I had, had shortened that down, it would have been quite funny, I reckon. Where did they get all those butterflies? I'm not sure. Okay. Butterfly store, know. Sure. Butterfly store. Butterflies.com. All right, the final thing is... Oh, welcome to Butterflies.com.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Oh, no. We've got all your butterfly needs. We got blue ones. We got the fluttersy ones. Are you talking to you in a moth? Oh, hate him. Hate him. Because you don't know which way they're going to go.
Starting point is 00:49:47 And they come at you and they're like, ah, hate him. They're just a dusty butterfly. I don't worry about that. Final thing. Final note. Where's it going? Where's the girl? Final notes.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Final notes. Final notes. On Brian Jones. Jimmy Hendrix dedicated a song to him on the US television. And Jim Morrison of the Doors published a poem called O2LA while thinking of Brian Jones deceased, which is crazy because Hendrix and Morrison both died within the following two years, both at the age of 27.
Starting point is 00:50:20 So within 27, those three, Brian Jones, Jim Hendrix, and Jim Morrison, plus Janice Joplin all died between 1969 and 1971 at the age of 27. But at the time, no one connected the ages of the dead rockers. Oh, oh, and a mat! Let's hear it for Matzribor! Now the show begins. All right guys, so what we did here, we started with the headline on me and now we're going to go to Matt Shitty report.

Starting point is 00:53:43 Someone's going to make a toast. I was so good, somebody was like laughed with their whole body and kicked their glass. But one of the toilets, you know what's a man toilet because of the Kerkabaine poster and on the women's, it's Janice Joplin. Oh! Isn't that freakish? No, all right. Kerkabaine, born in 1967 was a Seattle musician, most famous as being the frontman for Grunge band of Anna which formed in 1987 by 1994 they were the biggest band in the world That's because he's not being fucking interrupted
Starting point is 00:54:15 What did what would you call what just happened But Cobain was struggling with depression and heroin addiction which contributed to his suicide by shotgun on April 5th, 1994. My report found it completely. Wow, he said he didn't put much effort in it, he did not. I have written a whole nother report, but fuck, I had no idea that you were genuinely gonna take an hour. Should I do it? We have done... Yeah!

Starting point is 00:55:33 I'm doing another 1990s 27 club guy. I've chosen another musician, also born in 67. This guy on the 22nd of December. It's Richie Edwards. Anyone heard of Richie Edwards? Very good. This is good. This is good. Okay, Ricky James. Anyone heard of Richie James? Rick James?
Starting point is 00:55:54 It's not Rick James, bitch. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:56:03 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh no. He is hiding the mother of all regret faces. Where's your wallet? Where's your wallet? Now you're buying these, but I'm going to get them. No, that's fair. That is a catchphrase from the Chapelle show. That's all.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Did anyone notice that? Did anyone notice that? Oh, bloody hell. So everyone else, I'm very sorry. You didn't know that? No, I did. Oh, man. That's still extra funny that you called me a bitch.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Because you're the biggest feminist in this group. That's why it's funny. Hey, I'll be the feminist here. Anyway, so has anyone heard of the Manic Street Preaches? Yeah, he was, he's, so that's who he's from. Oh, great. Roxell has started. He was a guitarist and lyricist, right? He was born in a town named Blackwood in South Wales.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I have not written any jokes. All right, this is the soft-a-noon. No jokes. So you guys have to make it fun. Okay, here we go. All right, let's hear it, everybody. Yeah. We having a good time. Is that what? All right, that was fun, okay.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Oh, shut up, bitch. Oh. Oh. Bitch is a funny word. That is good fun, it is good fun. Rick James, bitch. You piece of shit So he did pretty well in school. You know how much Tommy spent on his pre-band stuff
Starting point is 00:57:31 This is how much some I'm spending it. He did pretty well in school The manic street preachers He didn't mention whether or not he had asthma as a child Like I did or a beer please, thank you. See you before Nirvana. I suggest it's going to get some drinks. So I'll just stop you there Matt and we will wait. I reckon I could get through this while she's gone.
Starting point is 00:58:01 So the Manic Street Preaches, which I've said for the third time, formed in 1986 with James Dean Bradfield, Nikki Wire, Sean Moore and Miles Flickr Woodward. Yeah, all unnecessary detail. I would have cut that. I would have cut that. I just thought they deserved their moment. No, they have great names. I must admit. Edwards wasn't initially a part of the lineup. He started out as their Rody, but after Miles Flicka Woodward left in 1988 the band remained a three-piece until 1989 when Edwards joined the lineup on Rhythm Guitar. In his time with the band they
Starting point is 00:58:35 released their first three albums each charting in the top 20 on the UK charts. Good for you. Well that's pretty good. He wasn't much of a musician apparently and I read that he would often just mime the guitar at live performances. He wasn't even holding a guitar. While he wasn't much of a musician, he became very influential in the band's stylistic direction and also became one of the key lyricists, contributing 80% of the lyrics to their 1994 album, The Holy Bible, which I don't know if you've heard of it, that's the one with Jesus.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I didn't write any jokes, but I bloody rougher couple. Jess is back with Drinks. That was really quick. One part cannot help it. Notice that she's holding two drinks. And what's that? You've hardly had a sip of air. Oh, great. So anyway, the holy Bible, that reached number six on the British charts. That was his life.
Starting point is 00:59:38 The holy Bible did. Larvita, go Bible. I'm sorry. It was a really long track, but I have to do my report still. And how to sweet groove. Edward suffered for his art too, in 1991, in an infamous interview with NME journalist Steve Lamack responding to the journalist questioning
Starting point is 00:59:58 the band's authenticity, he carved the phrase four real into his forearm with a razor blade. During the interview. During the interview. Number four or F.O.R.? Number four. Fuck yeah! That's rockin' roll.
Starting point is 01:00:12 It was hashtag and before hashtags. That's real rockin' roll to use numbers, you know, like skater boy, by... All right. Bye. Uh, that blanks. Uh, nickel- Nickelback sex wife. Good enough for me. Avril Lavigne, thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Worth it. And apparently, yeah, there's a photo of it. So, I saw the photo of him, four real bleeding out of his arm. He was taking a hospital requiring 17 stitches. 17? Oh no, not enough. Too less or go to 20. If you got operated on, they put 17 in,
Starting point is 01:00:54 and you'd be like, just put three somewhere else. Or kill me. Turn off life support. I'm done. You don't need life support. You've scratched yourself. Turn it off! I've had a good run. I'm done. You don't need life support. You've scratched yourself. I've had a good run. I'm out. Edward suffered from depression and he was very open about it once saying, it gets to the point where you can't really operate in it anymore as a human being.
Starting point is 01:01:17 You can't get out of bed. It's so beautiful. You can't. I'm so beautiful. You can't make yourself a cup of coffee without something going badly wrong or your body's too weak to walk. So it was in a pretty tough state. I'll skip it like that. I'll skip this next paragraph. After the release of the Holy Bible in 1994, Edwards checked into the Priory, a psychiatric hospital, meaning that he missed some of the promotional work for the album. So he did get out of the priori just before the band was about to tour Europe. The last two of you was a part of.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Edward's played his final live show with the band at the London Astoria on 21st of December 1994. The gig ended with him starting a smash up his guitar, then the band joined in they wrecked the whole stage including lights at the venue and similar to what we're gonna body do later yeah what was he did he actually have a guitar or was he just doing his mind-man his mind guitar he's fucking elbowing guitar god damn Dave my I'm smashing a ukulele. What can they do on me? First on a bitch, and now it's OK to smash the family. I'll be the feminist here. Not on Dave.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Thank you. A little over a month after the show on the 1st of February 1995, a day when he was meant to fly to the United States for a promo tour, Edwards disappeared forever. age 27. What? It's a mystery! It isn't mystery! He disappeared. He disappeared. Forever. Forever. Forever. Forever. Forever. Forever. I don't know what to do with that. For the two weeks prior to his disappearance, Edwards withdrew 200 pounds a day from his
Starting point is 01:03:05 bank account, totaling 2,800 pounds. It's not enough to live on forever. I just did the two 14 times 200 for you. They're not really required, but anyway, maths is fun. You know I'm not good at it though. That is true. I would have been curious to hear what you had to say about that. Even now, knowing the answer.
Starting point is 01:03:23 200 a day. For two weeks. All right. Come back to me later. Edward's checked out of the hotel who was staying in at seven o'clock in the morning. He took only his wallet, car keys, passport, and some pro-zac.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Dave, you know what pro-zac is? Pro-zac is an anti-depressant. It's like a popular. That's how Dave gets through this show. I've heard of it. I've heard of it. That must annoy you, Jess. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:52 What more? All right. So he left with only his wallet car keys, past bought some Prostak, and left behind his toiletries and a fully packed suit case. You can't go without the toiletries. I need my voice to riser. It's first thing I thought of.
Starting point is 01:04:08 From there? Two brush. OK, fun game. There we go. If I'm your toiletry bag, right, oh my god, this is so fun. Everybody can play. Toiletry bag.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Only take one thing. What do you take? Prozac. Right call. Matt. You brushed your teeth in front Prozac. Right call Matt. You brought your teeth in front of us today and your toothbrush ran out of power. It was so sad. And David I both look at our phones and we just see it.
Starting point is 01:04:38 And you look over and Matt's just like very funny. Not for me, man. I take plaque very seriously. So yeah, it's tricky. Do you take your toothbrush or your toothpaste? Great point. Don't, don't ever put me in that position again. You bitch.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I'm so lucky on that math problem from before. Alright, 200 a day, two weeks, okay. Wait, weakens? Yeah, old days. No, you know, weak, anyway, fuck. I would've said business weeks. So, will I say business weeks? I don't say that.
Starting point is 01:05:17 No, we don't have real jobs. Oh, yeah. I was about to stand up for myself. From there he went to his apartment in Cardiff Wales. In the two weeks that followed, Edwards was claimed to be spotted a few times by fans, including one time at the Newport bus station. This time by a fan who didn't realise that he was missing, they chatted and discussed a mutual friend before Edwards departed.
Starting point is 01:05:42 So only later on this guy, he's like, oh fuck's he's gone. He doesn't exist. What happened? On the 7th of February, Edwards reportedly took a taxi ride from the Kings Hotel in Newport. Driving around the valleys near where he grew up, I guess maybe yeah, I don't know why, just checking it out. All right. The driver reported that the passenger, who we didn't necessarily know who was at the time, the passenger requested if you could lie down on the back seat. He also said that the passenger spoke in a thick caulk. Hang on, so the passenger just requested the driver lies down on the back seat. That may be a poorly formed sentence, I'm asking. Hey mate, just take me to the meadows if you can. If you can just lie down on the back seat, that'd be great.
Starting point is 01:06:23 I'll pay extra. That's weird. to the meadows if you can, and if you get this light on the back seat, that'd be great. I'll pay extra. It's weird. But he also reported that the passenger spoke in a thick cockney accent but sporadically slipped into a Welsh one. What would that sound like? Oh, I all right. Cobra?
Starting point is 01:06:37 Ah, Welsh. Here's the Welsh. Ah, Welsh as well. So when he said I'm Welsh as well, that was the little giveaway that he gave. Yeah, it was the little giveaway. By the way, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing Liverpool. I'll stop.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Eventually, the passenger got out at the Severn View Service Station near South Gloucestershire and paid the fare in cash. A wee Gloucestershire, you are correct. I just heard a little whisper over there like, he's a fucking idiot. People come here for me to pronounce things right and I'm so sorry to let you down there. Have I said any words right? Oh, thank you. All I hear when you speak is m-m-m-m-m-m.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Quite how do you say it? Dave can edit all this out and we'll put in the right, what do you say? Yeah, great, I'm going to do that if you don't know it. Eventually, the passenger got out of the Severn view service station near South Gloucestershire and paid the fare and cash. God, God! Thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Thank you. Great, and it won't sound weird to the people at home that you suddenly applauded me. At all. I might be weird at all. A week later on the 14th of Feb, Edward's car... Valentine's Day. Okay, fun game. No, I'm not doing a game.
Starting point is 01:07:55 I don't have one. I'm so... I'll turn back around. I didn't realize that. That makes sense. That's why the story gets really romantic here. A week later on the 14th of Feb, Edward's car received a parking ticket. I'll turn back around. I didn't realize that. That makes sense. That's why the story gets really romantic here. A week later, on the 14th of February,
Starting point is 01:08:07 Edward's car received a parking ticket. Oh, wow. That's beautiful. At the Severene View Service Station. On the 17th, three days later, the car was reported as abandoned. The battery was found to be dead. And there was evidence that the car had been lived in.
Starting point is 01:08:24 The car's proximity to the Severene Bridge and known suicide location meant that it is widely believed he took his own life by jumping from the bridge but a body has never been found. This is disputed by many though who knew him? Disputed by many who have found the body. They were reportedly pointed to it and no one will take them seriously. He's right there. Sorry, they were disputing the suicide part. Sorry, that was obviously a misunderstanding there. Almost laid to a funny moment, didn't quite, but...
Starting point is 01:08:52 LAUGHTER Fair enough. He's so mean! So mean. He has an idea he's after doing that. We get to do all right. Correct, that is true. The key is nine pro-Zacks.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I normally have a lunchtime, a virgin blood meal. I was trying to suggest I vampire or something, you know. I really went the long way around. She's just... Because they live a long time. Well, they unlive a long time. Or whatever. So that's why we're not in the beer garden.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Yes, that's why we're not in the beer garden. Deserved more, sir. Now you're not in the beer garden deserved more sir Now you're making the audience do your hair your jokes and I appreciate that That's how a comedy thing works people bounce off each other learn a little You bitch How dare you how to do not use that word to me. I'm a feminist. Generally I'm generally I'm. And also should you be.
Starting point is 01:10:08 All right. Also should you be. Is it another one? And also should you be. And also you as a woman, I will tell you what you should be. Now you're getting it. So this is disputed by many, the suicide part, by people who knew him well. They vehemently deny that he was the kind of person who commits suicide.
Starting point is 01:10:31 In 1994, he was also quoted as saying himself, this is the quote, in terms of the... I was never suicide. And if I've ever reported to have done so, don't believe it. And it's weird that he said that. Your paraphrasing a little, the actual quote was, in terms of the S word, I think it might have meant shit. That does not enter my mind. Steven.
Starting point is 01:10:54 And it never has done. Swamp. In terms of an attempt? Swamp. Because I'm stronger than that. I might be a weak person, but I can take that pain. The pain of never shitting. I will never attempt a shit Never never even ends his mind. Basically finishing up here Dave taking note here
Starting point is 01:11:15 Since his disappearance Oh, I was saying that's weird fun It shouldn't be that completely Since his disappearance, I have been many more sightings, including fire away places around the world, like India and on the islands off the coast of Africa. None of these sightings have been confirmed, though. Oh!
Starting point is 01:11:38 Manic Street preaches have continued on as a three-piece, after Edward's disappearance, releasing the album Everything Must Go in May 1996. That was just a bit of fire sale. Everything must go! We got Matt! Oh, we got Matt, like not a G-Mat, I met like Dorm. No, I'm really Musco, this is taking too long. I got a flight to catch on Tuesday, so I probably do need to get going. So that, everything must go, featured five tracks with lyrics written by Edward's,
Starting point is 01:12:10 including the UK top 10 single, Kevin Carter. And they've also, they've continued releasing album since... That's basically the end of the report. So they've done well with that. They've done really well. I only heard of him beyond his death. But interestingly, he was looking to take the band in a different direction before he died and the direction sounds fucking sick. Apparently, he wanted to do
Starting point is 01:12:32 the next album be a concept album, described as Pantera meets Nine-inch Nails meets Scream However, you're literally wearing a pantyriotatio. I am, yeah, that's true. Why do I know what he's wearing? You saw me get dressed? Because I'm graded fashion. Yes, that's right. She's watching me. Fashion, Matt. Matt you, Matty. You watch me brush my teeth. It's not that weird, you know, I'm wearing a t-shirt. Fashion, do it, do it. know I'm wearing a t-shirt. I will not say Asian fashion. I won't and you can't make me. Anyway, I think let's say you do a fucking report day. Fizzle out. Yeah! Fizzle out. Yeah, it's allowed. That was great. So we'll say he's an unconfirmed member of the 27 Club. I liked that about it though.
Starting point is 01:13:31 I liked the mystery element, but he went missing when he was only 27 and 3 months. So if he died anywhere in the next 9 months, he's in. It's good enough for me. Yeah. Well, no, JP, it's your report. You're doing the most recent of the 27 club out of the three of us. My husband's been written a question. Yes, come up one more quickly. Okay, okay, running a question.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Okay. Okay. Okay, all right. Mm-hmm, okay. Amy Wahnhaus. Yep. Ah! Is there any other race of ones? I don't know of any other race of ones.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Me, hopefully. Okay, I'll, geez, it's okay. We're all mentally healthy and support each other. Amy Winehouse, I was going to make some sort of joke about like a drink and a place that you live. And that's why I was enjoying it. No, no, no, that's why I didn't. Okay, thanks for getting back. True it soon, Jess.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Okay, boy, on the 14th of September, 1983, her father, a good year, her father Mitchell or Mitch. Oh, this is going to be a long report. Father or dad? Oh Papa. Father Mitch was a window panel installer and an attacksy driver and her mother Janice was a pharmacist. Many yes. I love that Matt was like, I've got a cough, I know what I'll do. I'll bring the mark up to my face. What will you do? Look, I've done a little radio, so I know how it works.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Coffee, another mic. And... I get people just laughing with the whole bodies. LAUGHTER Many of Winehouse's maternal uncles were professional jazz musicians. Amy's paternal grandmother Cynthia was a singer and dated the English jazz saxophone player, because I don't want to say is it saxophonist?
Starting point is 01:15:40 Sexophonist. Sexophonist. Sexophonist. Ronnie Scott. She named Amy's parents influenced Amy's interest in jazz. Her father Mitch or Mitchell or daddy or Papa, Paul, is that your dad's name? I don't know. It's my dad's name. It's coincidence I think.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Is that coincidence? Okay. Cecil has your dad in a basement. Um We're all at a basement. Who call fill? Yeah, okay. Have I the Mitch often sang French Frank Sinatra songs to her? A good year Did I get that wrong? Maybe it's him. Oh So Did I get that wrong? Maybe it's sing. Oh. Um. Starts red in the new moon. I'm leaving today.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Why did you want, why would you have wanted me to do that? I was actually impressed by that. That was the best an outro I've heard in a long time since he died since he died Anyway in 1992 Amy's grandmother Cynthia suggested that Amy attend the Susie Ensure theatre school where she went on Saturdays to further her vocal education and to learn to tap dance Matt's a very good tap dancer by the way Um quite good square dancing too aren't you buddy? Yes, but fuck, get on with the report. But in that time to stop every time we're going to talent.
Starting point is 01:17:14 Oh boy, it's funny because we're all, we all do a podcast because we don't have a talent. So that's good. She attended the theatre school for four years and found it a short-lived rap group called Sweet and Sour. Oh, that is great. You better believe that's just an N. No, I'm not an sweet and sour.
Starting point is 01:17:35 You got to do a little shoulder, like sweet and sour. Have a go. Sweet and sour. No. You got to shoulder on the N. Sweet and sour. There it is. Oh, that was sick. I am genuinely that uncoordinated did deserve a clip So they yeah, they formed their own little rap group With her childhood friend Juliet before seeking full-time training at the Sylvia Young Theatre School
Starting point is 01:18:00 She was allegedly expelled at 14 for not applying herself and also for piercing her nose. I really like the fact that she got kicked out for getting a nose piercing. What's fun isn't it? My mum was very mad when I pierced my ears. So I'm like, I'm in a way, I'm one house. Do you want to meet? No. We've both been oppressed. Later, she attended the Brit School in Croydon, which was a quite famous for producing some pretty high-calibre talent, including Imogen Heap, Jesse J, Rizzle Kicks, The Cooke Slips. What is a fuckers Rizzle Kicks?
Starting point is 01:18:39 You know, Rizzle Kicks? Rizzle Kicks, great. I've heard of one of those things. Do you all know Rizzle Kicks? That was a list of gibberish, wasn't it, Jess? Rizzle Kicks. Jess is like there's not enough talented people on this list. Don't worry, I'll make up one. Dave won't call me on it.
Starting point is 01:18:53 So sorry. I have heard of the cooks though, please do go on. And a Dell. Have you heard of a Dell? I missed that one, yeah. No. Never mind, now, friends. Is that Rizzle Kicks? I know that song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Rizzle Kicks. Rizzle Kicks, it's a grave. After toying, I'm just going to
Starting point is 01:19:16 power through because you took way too long. After toying around with the shudder. I'm Thora. After toying around with her brother, Alex is guitar. Winehouse bought her own when she was 14 and began writing music a year later. Soon after, she began working for a living, including at one time as an entertainment journalist for the World Entertainment News Network. What?! In addition to seeing with local groups, with local group The Bolsheband. In July 2000, she became the featured female vocalist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra,
Starting point is 01:19:45 and she signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and was paid £250 a week. £250 a week. She is killing that. That's pretty good. Is Simon Fuller the judge from the show? No. Simon Cowell. Firstly, yeah, firstly Cal.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Secondly, the show? Which show, that's you? I was sorry, I was thinking of Red Simon's. He just liked you had Jojo and Jake there. I didn't even realize that it was connected by his name. I was trying to say someone really random, but I said a thing with Simon in it. Fucked up. Or accidentally did something brilliant. I was trying to say something really random, but I said a thing with Simon in it fucked up
Starting point is 01:20:25 Or accidentally did something brilliant neither neither No fucked up all right. I've been looking at this empty seat. I would you mind if I? Guess it. Oh, he always joins the audience Don't start a revolution again. Oh, no. There's actually too many of them this time. I couldn't hold you back In Melbourne it was all right They could they could kill us all what it would add anything this is going Pretty all right high praise
Starting point is 01:20:55 I reckon they'll have us back Let's put that on future posters What's your name if we're quoting you Shane? Shane well if you're not you? Shane. Shane. Well, if you're not going to trust Shane's opinion. Who can you trust? Rizal Kicks. Thanks for saving that sweet reef anonymous voice.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Sweet reef? Full 20 blazing! No, no. Save the reef. I'm a passionate... Shut the fuck up! Bitch! She's...
Starting point is 01:21:28 She's...it's nice up here, just us, isn't it? This is the podcast that never happened. Alright, so... But we don't look at each other. Let's get cozy. So, she was being developed by the management company and she was kept as a recording industry secret. That's kind of fun. A guy called Darkis Bees. That is, Jess, can you stop making our names for this?
Starting point is 01:21:57 Darkis. Rizel keeps his friends. Darkis Bees. Rizel keeps it good. Being kept as a recording industry secret is just being a shit, like unknown artists, isn't it? That's a secret. We're not selling any records. We haven't told anyone yet.
Starting point is 01:22:14 We're going to keep you a podcast industry secret. I appreciate that. I like that even though you're in the audience and it's dark, I can still see the regret on your face. If anything, I feel like I could feel it. I can sense your regret now. It's not just the face now, it's full body regret. Full body regret. Okay, darkest bees.
Starting point is 01:22:37 He was heard of her by accident when the manager of the Lewinson brothers showed him some production of his clients, which featured winehouses, a key vocalist. When he asked who the singer was, the manager told him, I'm not allowed to say. It's a secret. So then he like he snips around and he gets... He calls his mate Rizzle up. Get some on the blower. You don't know Rizzle Kicks.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Rizzle. They do that song. You might hear me make a like Willson because I love summer no Rachel Billson. Yes. That was great, yes. You might hear me make a like Rugga like Wilson cuz I love someone no Rachel Billson. Yes That was great. Yes, but I don't why look like I'm into hip hop You look like you're into bark The stuff of trees. Yeah, I love it. They're not good enough a Rubber I'm a skin I
Starting point is 01:23:25 Tell you where you rub it all right Yeah, I'm gonna get enough. A rub and I'm a skin. I tell you where you rub it. All right. Oh! You just love it. You just love it on the rub. You just love it on the rub. Oh, you said that. Sorry, yeah. He loves the way dogs woof.
Starting point is 01:23:34 You know, man. It's all about... Did you? Did you? He's really enjoying it. He's turning away. Did you see me slowly get it? Yes. I was like... Did you really enjoy it? He's turning away.
Starting point is 01:23:45 Did you see me slowly get it? Yes. I was like... That's good stuff. I mean, aside from podcasts, we're semi-professional comedians. I actually, in Brisbane at a gig last week Matt I do not have on the call sheet on the call sheet and brackets after my name it said semi-professional comedian from Melbourne
Starting point is 01:24:12 closed bracket Cool Looks like we're meant Is that whistle kicks Yes because it's not bark. Fucking weirdo. Dave fucks trees. No regrets.
Starting point is 01:24:34 Finally the tree fucking nickname makes sense. Hey, what do they call you a tree fucking? It's a secret. I feel like we're losing it. I'm so sorry. Okay, so bees. He finds it. He feels like who's that voice?
Starting point is 01:24:57 And eventually someone's like, it's Amy Winehouse. I've been fine. Stop fucking asking. All right, Amy Winehouse. So he introduces Winehouse to his boss, Nick Getfield, and the island head, God, Jess, what have you written here? Island Records, yes, and he was enthusiastic about this young artist.
Starting point is 01:25:17 Who is she, they said? Amy Whitehouse. I fucking told you. Fuck me. So we're in my abtu. Okay, so she signs with Island Records, I fucking told you. Fuck me. So where am I up to? OK, so she signs with Ireland records, and she starts to make some music. I've had a bit to drink and go. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:38 Is it suddenly, it's no longer a secret, I'm imagining, is that? She's public now with her music. She's public. I don't know, probably who kids. OK. Just skip to the bit where she'd know. These? I've also started drinking, so. Okay. Darker space. He told hip quarters. He felt the reason behind the accident.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Who did he tell hip quarters? Hit! Hit quarters. Makes sense, I'm not probable. Because they, it's a quarterly paper when they talk about the hits. Okay, so she's at hip quarters. She's killing it. Forget hip quarters. There's a man called Bees. Ah, okay. To release this is an album, it's called Frank. Frank. Because of Frank Sinatra, a hero, okay.
Starting point is 01:26:31 You guys I assume would release an album called Perkins. Laughter. Laughing too hard there guys. It'd be nice. I think it's just called it Jess. Frank, Frank was released in October of 2003. The album entered the upper levels of the UK album chart, which is what that means. In 2004, when it was nominated for the Brit Award in the Categories of British Female Solo Artist and British Urban Act, it went on to achieve
Starting point is 01:26:57 platinum sales. So first album, she hit the ground running, she's killing it. She's about to be killed. Um. They're going to be pretty rare. In contrast to her jazz influenced former album, Winehouse's focus shifted to the girl groups of the 1950s and the 60s. She hired New York singer Sharon Jones as longtime band, The Dap Kings, to back her up in her studio and on tour.
Starting point is 01:27:24 Mitch Winehouse, I love this. So her dad Mitch, he... Or Mitchell. Or... Or dad, fuck. Or phaja. Um, sometimes I call my dad John and he hates it. He's like...
Starting point is 01:27:39 Because his name's Gary. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER How dare you. You know his name is John. You've met him, you took some of his chips. Didn't you? Oh great chips. Great chips. Dad was like, have a chip, good on him. Mitra wrote a book later and it's called Amy, my daughter, not the best. No pun title. Yeah, she called it Turtle Recall.
Starting point is 01:28:13 It meant amazing. He recalled how fascinating it was watching her process. Her perfectionism in the studio and how she would put what she'd sung on a CD and she would take it out of the studio and she would play it in his taxi and how she would put what she'd sung on a CD and she would take it out of the studio and she would play it in his taxi so that she could hear how the normal people would hear us. Fuck her, I hope she dies. David, we do not wish death upon people, okay, But she's going to die. We're all gonna die, Bob. Simpsons reference, camp crusty, alright. They say, Bob in there too? Because that's weird.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Yeah, whatever. We're all checked out. Skip to the bit where she does. Yeah, you're right. Okay, I might skip ahead a little bit. Basically, she's fucking killing it. No, bad. Oh, and an Oskrop Summary. This is amazing. You're killing it. Okay, great.
Starting point is 01:29:10 So she's killing it. She breaks the Guinness Book of World Records for the amount of awards that she's been nominated for at the Grammys. Rehab and Valerie are like enormous songs, probably still her most famous. Valeries like. Man, sound, anyway, no. Don't sing. I fucking love that song though.
Starting point is 01:29:27 It's really a Mark Ronson song, feature in Amy Winehouse as a cover, but... I'm aware of these things. Just saying, that song did well. That's how do I get it? Well done. Fuck you. This is fun.
Starting point is 01:29:42 At his request, Hollywood star Bruce Willis, ever heard of him. Introduced Winehouse before her performance of rehab at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards in Universal City, California. She'd made the awards organizers nervous when she went on a Vegas jaunt in the hours before the show. So I was going to duck off to Vegas real quick. Then I'll come back, do my little song,
Starting point is 01:30:03 and then we just fucking party, right? And they're like, no. But I like that Bruce Willis is like, oh, excuse me. Can I please introduce Amy Winehouse? I think that's cool. Thank you. That's all I need. One person's approval. Okay. I'm skipping ahead, she's doing super well, but then, not, like professionally, but then not good, personally. Well, what's wrong with her? A number of things, to be honest. I actually got kind of sad doing the reports,
Starting point is 01:30:37 and my report kind of finishes with her just doing super well career wise. I'm not doing it. What happened to it? No one knows. No one knows. No one knows. It's a mystery. And then she released that album, sold 5 million copies worldwide and she retired.
Starting point is 01:30:50 Yes, she lives in an island off. She breathes corgis. She's very happy. She's the queen now. Yeah, you may know her as Lizzie. In May of 2009, she returned to performing at a jazz festival in St. Lucia, amid torrential downpours and technical difficulties. During her set, it was reported that she was unsteadier on her feet and had trouble
Starting point is 01:31:15 remembering lyrics. She apologized to the crowd for being bored and ended the set in the middle of a song. Which is quite, because I walked off before to get a beer. And also Matt is in the middle of a song. Which is fun because I walked off before to get a beer. And also Matt is in the crowd. We're professionals. Thanks for paying to come, guys. No, good on you. Hey, what are you doing here, fucking two air?
Starting point is 01:31:35 I wasn't this shit. No, we haven't. I'm nearly done. OK. On February 11th, this is another time in 2011. She cut shorter performance in Dubai following booing from the audience. She was reported to be a tie.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Oh! It's weird that one audience member has a mic. Alex, can we please cut that audience member's mic? No, don't. He's nodding. He's very literal. She was reported to be tired, distracted and tipsy during the performance. So most of you would obviously know she battled with substance abuse. She was reported to be tired, distracted and tipsy during the performance.
Starting point is 01:32:05 So most of you would obviously know she battled with substance abuse and that was a subject of much media attention. In 2005 she went through a period of drinking, heavy drug use and weight loss. Her family believes that the mid 2006 death of her grandmother, who was quite a big influence on her, set her off into addiction. In 2007 she cancelled a number of shows in the UK and Europe citing exhaustion and ill health. She was hospitalized during this period
Starting point is 01:32:30 for what was reported to be an overdose of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol. Oh, that's a lot. That's a lot. It's like the Long Island, our team drugs. It's amazing. Amazing. I've had a drink and a half, and I'm like ready for a nap. She's,'s I mean that's rock and roll, you know that's rock and roll apparently in her like in her teens
Starting point is 01:32:51 She was very anti drugs and she was like quite clean cut and and like quite nice and then and then she Met a boy boys ruined everything and T.n. Did you say the drugs lots of drugs lots violence. You just tapped a boy when I said, boys were in everything. That is the best. Yeah. This guy is introducing me. My life, okay, great. He's introduced me to so many drugs.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Yeah. He introduced her to a lot of drugs, and then she was fine. She was absolutely fine. Nothing bad happened. She did not have an incident of alcohol poisoning and died. That did not happen. She's fine guys. She's fine. Yeah! It's your baby White House. What a career. She's not super relevant to the topic.
Starting point is 01:33:41 I just wanted to say it story. I just want to sing Valerie. A two, three, four. Anyway, I don't want to talk. Yeah, she died. She dead. Heaps of issues. Eating disorders, mental issues, substance abuse. If you need help call, what's the, what's the health line? One three double one double, uh. One three double one double six. That's pizza hard. Oh, so you're doing it. And that will help.
Starting point is 01:34:11 Yeah. No, no, 13, 30, 32, Lube Mobile every time. Every, sorry, 13, 30, 32. 30. Anyway. Are you calling me back? Yeah. Please come back on the menu.
Starting point is 01:34:23 So ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of the 27 Club. Oh, I've actually got some fun facts to wrap up. Do we have time? Just I just wanted to say the. The. Woo. Woo. Woo.
Starting point is 01:34:40 I just want to wrap it up by saying. So a lot of people have died at 27. The first people that they've gone back They've gone back and looked through history is a guy called In 1892 the first ever member of the 27 club is a Brazilian composer Alexandra Levy and the most recent member is Anton Yelchen the Star Trek actor Who died last year when his car crashed him against a wall. Whoops. He's car-did it. Yeah. Yeah, it was really really bad. You missed that one? That was big news.
Starting point is 01:35:14 I was like, how did the car do it? It had a faulty parking brake thing. Ah. Ah. Yeah. But you may wonder if the card did it with a knife. What's quick, think of a funny weapon. I think I nailed it. But two more people die 27 than any other age or musician. So a university of Sydney professor Diane Kenny did a analysis of 13,000 US musicians who died
Starting point is 01:35:46 between 1950 and 2014. She compared their ages and their deaths and she found... What a sick person! Has anyone listened to all the episodes we've done? Does anyone remember me quoting this study already? I'll get fucked! I can't remember what episode, but someone died at 27 and I had talked about this already. I can't remember what episode but someone died at 27 and I talked about this already. So I think we can go. In summary she found that when it comes to 27 more the same amount of people died 26 and 28 and that slightly more like the
Starting point is 01:36:17 diet 32 actually Matt has already lived through that age. So it's all good, well good, well good. I'll let you down on it now, that is the end. And I'm not a musician, so. So you're in both counts. So technically all I have to do is live for a slightly less than eight more hours and then I will be 27 years old and then I can die. So that's it! Yeah! Let's hear it for my death!
Starting point is 01:36:49 You need to get fucks! Can we get a round of applause for Alex on the tech? Thank you Alex! On the tech! On the tech! I would like to thank also Cesar who helped organize the venue here at the Chipper Hotel, fantastic comedy venue, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you come back and see lots of comedy shows here.

The King of Podcasting, that's nice. So thank you so much for that. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of the show. We're going to be hanging out. Lomko, okay.
Starting point is 01:37:29 I wrote another little thing. Oh, no, but thank you so much. Let's have a big round of applause for Matt Schuwen. Just poke his legs out.

Hey guys, Dave here just popping in at the end of the episode to let you know that I did in fact make it. I made it to the 27 club, no, and I didn't make it to the 27 club.

Everyone this week who's who I'm thinking I've looked up a little fact about where you're from all the way in Houston, Texas. Did you know Eli? That Houstonians didn't even know you were called that. Houstonians eat out more than residents of any other city. This is on the Houston government website. It says why you can indulge in more than 11,000 restaurants. So that's too many
Starting point is 01:42:01 restaurants. Eli, I challenge you to eat in every single one of those restaurants. Got a lot more to take you doing maths here, 10 years. Nearly 40 years of dining out every single night so you can enjoy that Eli. I'd also like to thank Benjamin Chesher, Benjamin Chesher who is from Oklahoma City. Did you know Benjamin that owning a stink bomb in Oklahoma City is against the law. Owning one, if you own it, you are breaking the law. So don't do that, thank you, Benjeron. It was a lucky thing.
