Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenji Amarna, 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Canada, we are visiting you in September this year. If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. Hey everyone, I'm Matt here, just letting you know. This is another episode of our web series.

Starting point is 00:01:00 enjoying. Anyway, this one's about the Rolex murder, but I'll let Jess take it from here. Please enjoy the episode, like, subscribe and share. And thanks for listening. On with the show. If you've ever thought about buying a super expensive watch but thought, is it really worth it?
Starting point is 00:01:20 Well, for one man, his luxury timepiece led the police straight to his murderer. This is the Rolex murder. Oh, wait, so you're saying we should buy a watch? Well, if you're going to buy a watch, buy a mega expensive watch. Okay, thank God. It's the only kind I would buy. So we're talking like, you know, one that says how many steps you've done?
Starting point is 00:01:43 Yeah. All right. Obviously. Well, I'll talk to my bank manager. Hello and welcome. My name's Jess Perkins. I'm here with Dave Warnocky and Matt Stewart. And you'll notice that none of us are wearing watches.
Starting point is 00:02:01 You haven't checked my leg. Imagine. Imagine, Evan, can you put a watch on his leg? How would you check the time if you had it there, the whole, always? It'd be very awkward. I'm not giving Evan much of an opportunity. Oh, it's like one of those flavor-flaved dangly ones. Do you guys wear watches at all?
Starting point is 00:02:24 No, I did when I was a kid, and then mobile phones were invented. Yeah. I used to always, I used to feel naked without a watch. I used to love my watches, but now I'm a feeling. Bitbit girl. I love to check them steps. Yeah, but Fitbit, that's like a watch. Yeah. But as we'll find out, if you're going to buy a watch, you should probably buy a mega expensive one.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I'm a fan of Tissot. Not expensive enough. Okay. Maybe it is. I don't know. I don't know that much about watches. I just like the name. Is that expensive? I wanted to say Tissot. Okay, go again. Tissot. Is that fun? Yeah, that was fun. It was fun. It was fun to watch. Have a go, Matt.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Tissot. Oh, not as good from you. Okay. So, please. Let me begin. On July 28, 1996, a good year. A couple of fishermen were out in their trawler around six miles off Tinmouth in the UK. But instead of hauling in loads of fish, on this day, they discovered a body. Loads of body. No, just, yeah, just one. So a body of water or? No, a human body. Oh, okay, in the body of water. Never had to specify that before. Body and a body. Whoa, it's like Russian bodies.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Body of water, body a human, inside him, little fish. I don't know, probably. The body was badly decomposed from being in the water for so long, so detectives were at a loss as to how they would identify this mystery man. Their only clue was a Rolex watch on his right wrist. Right wrist. Left-handed, probably then. I wear watches on my left, and I'm left-handed.
Starting point is 00:04:01 But just another thing that's super interesting about me, I guess. Quirky. I'm quirky. It's fascinating. You know, you can never predict me. What's you going to do? Left on left. Tell you what.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Yeah. What? You know, loss for words. Okay. So luckily, because Rolex is a luxury brand, they keep meticulous records of their products and any servicing or repairs that are done to their water. Does that include ones bought in Bali?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Do they keep track of them all, mate? A Rolex is a Rolex. Even if they've got one L, two else, doesn't matter. There's a Z in there somehow? It's still theirs. Wow. It's a powerful corporation. Honestly, they're running at a loss.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Even if it says Tissot. They'll look after it. They love time and helping you keep it. Oh, everyone's going to have a passion. One's going to have a passion. Yeah. So yeah, they keep really meticulous records. So the serial number and the service documents of this particular watch
Starting point is 00:05:07 showed that it had been taken to a jeweller in Harrogate twice in the 80s. The customer, 51-year-old Ronald Platt, a Canadian man living in the UK and working as a television repairman. Obviously, business is going well if you can afford a Rolex. Unless it was a gift. But I don't know. Yeah, did television repairman get gifts? I doubt it. Not on my Rolex.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah, thanks for fixing the BBC. Here is a Rolex. Oh, he fixed television. Okay. Wow, that's good. Oh, television repair, man. Fix all the... He comes in and goes, this show's a bit shit.
Starting point is 00:05:44 What you need is more laughs. Yeah, and so he adds a laugh track. Yeah. His answer is always a laugh track. The news, it's dipped in ratings. Can we get a few more lulls in? Yeah. Get a clown on with a,
Starting point is 00:05:58 a flower that has a water pistol in it. Oh, he knows comedy. Nothing about Ronald Platt's life stuck out to the police. No criminal record, no dodgy associates. So how did he come to wash up on a fishing trawler? What happened to him? The police went to Mr Platt's home and his landlord suggested they speak to his best friend, a man named David Davies.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Fake name. He's not real. Or he's a superhero. Ah, okay. These are your two guesses so far? He's either made it up because in a secret life he's a superhero or in a secret life he fucks horses or something like that. Yeah, those are the only two options. Both superpowers in a way.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Could be the same guy. Yeah, it could be. Super horse fuck. Does he have to say it? Yes. Like that? Super horse fuck. And then when he does that, he turns into a flying horse.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Does he save babies from burning buildings already? anything? No, no, no. Okay. Nothing like that. But he'll give them a ride once they've recovered. So I want a superman or take them out, they'll recover in hospital and go, hey, want to clipety clop on the back old, super, sorry about this, mom and pop, super fuck horse, whatever I am. Or whatever I am. He's also mostly drunk. Hey, Jester, go on. Thank you. So they go to speak to the best friend, David Davies, who is an American man living in the UK with young wife. He exists. David Davies told the police that he'd given Mr. Platt some money to
Starting point is 00:07:36 set up an electrical business in France, but he hadn't heard from his best friend for over a month. He was like, I don't know, last time I saw him, I just gave him some money for a business, but no, I haven't spoken. I haven't spoken to him. That sounds suspicious. Does it? Yeah, sounds like horse play to me. That's an interesting take. Stop bringing this back to horse fuck man. Stop it, stop it once. Well, that's who you're talking about. You brought him up. unbelievable. So one day a police officer was driving out to Mr Davies' house to get a statement from him, get a written statement, and the officer took a wrong turn and ended up at the wrong property.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Whoops. Ended up in the wrong barn. Yeah. So he apologised and explained that he was looking for Mr Davies, but that homeowner looked confused and said, oh, but our neighbour's name is Platt. But David Davy hasn't lived around this, but don't you? What I haven't been a David Davis here? But Platt was a man that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 they'd found dead. Wow. So they luckily went down the wrong place. Yeah. Otherwise they would have knocked on a, on a dead man's door. Well, maybe. So who's David Davies? Yeah, he's answered the dead man's door. Was David, so David Davies was a horse. No, David Davies is not a horse. How have you come to that conclusion? Oh, literally, I can explain it in my next sentence. Please. Oh, should we? I don't know if I want to know. Should you break here? It turned out that David Davies was actually Albert Walker and he wasn't American. He was a Canadian fraudster who had fled to the UK.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So that was genuinely the fake name he came up with. David Davids. It's so bad they'll never question. It's, um, David, um, think of something. David Z's. Oh, David Davidsies. David Davidsies, yes, that's me. That's better.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Yeah, it's probably. That doesn't sound about David Davidsies. You were like, ah, my parents, a bit kooky. And then he starts pretending to be American from that point on. Yeah, yeah, because he's like, it's the only accent I can do because it's close-ish to Canada. Oh, David Davidsies, and I'm American. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. It's very different.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So his name is actually Albert Walker. And he's a crook. And remember I was saying that David Davies was living in the UK with his young wife? Yeah. Turns out his young wife was actually his daughter, Sheena, who had fled. with him to the UK. Can I ask, is that also a fake name? Sheena. No, I believe that's actually Shina's great. Sheena Walker. She was pretending to be his wife as a cover story. Why? Exactly. Why couldn't David Davies have had a daughter? Sheena Davies? That sounds better.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Sheena Davies. That sounds like a Hollywood star. Yeah. Yeah, it does. Gina Davis. No, Sheena Davis. Oh my God. She's not even listening to her own thing. Albert Walker was a high school dropout who worked a few odd jobs before getting a job as a bank teller for a trust company. And he got some experience filing people's tax returns. And a couple of years later, he left his job to start his own company. Your name is Albert Walker. What are you going to name your company? David Davies.
Starting point is 00:10:45 David's Incorporated? What about Walker Financial Services Incorporated? I trust that. That sounds trustworthy. It sounds right. Totally. A guy who's accidentally done some people's tax returns. Yeah, he's had a go a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's turned out fine. So he starts his own business. Over time, though, his business actually did really well. It grew to six branches and nearly 30 employees. What? And things were going very well for him. I think we might have actually had our tax done with him at one point. Someone equally qualified.
Starting point is 00:11:15 That was until 1986 when a stock deal he'd invested in crashed. It turns out he'd also been embezzling money from around 70 of his clients to the tune of about 3.2 million. dollars. Well now he's facing 18 counts of fraud, money laundering and theft, so he fled to Europe in 1990, taking his middle daughter with him. Don't know why. He had other kids, left the wife and kids at home. Middle daughter. In it, me. All right, hang on. Okay. All right, you guys all run around and then when I yell, stop, I'll open
Starting point is 00:11:46 my eyes and stop. All right. Sheena, okay. You're my pretend wife. Come with me. Come on. Thank God it wasn't the eight-year-old. That'd be weird. He's pointing at the cutlery drawer. All right, get in. I'm married to some spoons. I need it. You're with me. So Walker became Canada's most wanted, criminal and the second most wanted by Interpol.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Wow. When he settled in Harrogate in North Yorkshire, he took the name of one of his Canadian clients, David Davies. So David Davies does exist. I had a teacher at my high school called David Davies. Was he Canadian by any chance? Now that I think about it. Oh. He's an upstanding science teacher.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Did he ever give you a ride on his back? No. Every other kid, though, left me out. Pretty offended, you can't do that. No. On this day and age, you've got to invite all the kids to the pool party. You've got to let every kid ride you at the same time. That sounded weird.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And you didn't realize, as you were saying it all before, that that was going to sound a bit odd. You didn't have any thoughts about that, only after. Look, we all have regrets. That's true. This is one of mine. I don't. You really should. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Of the three of us, you should regret the most. You brought up this horse. Fucking incident. No regrets. No regrets. I respect that. I'm just speaking truth to power. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Anyway, so he settled in the UK and he met and befriended this guy, Ronald Platt, and his girlfriend Elaine, and Platt and Walker started a TV repair business together. So Platt had mentioned that missed Canada and would like to live there again, and Walker saw his opportunity. He paid for a one-way ticket to Canada for Platt, but convinced him that he would need to leave behind his driver's license, birth certificate, and a stamp of his signature.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Yeah. Also, a hair sample. Yeah. A little, punitive jizz. Some blood. Some blood. And his mother's maiden name. He told him...
Starting point is 00:13:53 He told him he'd need all the... He told him we'd need all this so that he could continue their business while Platte went back to Canada. He's like, that's great. I support you. But just so I can keep our business running. Like when you rock up in people's houses to repair their TV, I've also got a business partner just to approve that.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Here is his license, his birth certificate, the hair sample. I would want that from any kind of service person coming to my house. Even when I get groceries delivered, I'm like, tell me about yourself. What's going on here? I'll also need your fingerprints on this gun. if you could just pull the trigger with the gun loaded next to your head and we're done
Starting point is 00:14:28 thank you very much so yeah look to most people this would scream red flag but Platt seemed to be not most people and he was like well that's logical
Starting point is 00:14:42 so he agreed trustworthy trust trusting trusting yeah he's trusting I think you know it's weird that if we see that oh it's like this idiot
Starting point is 00:14:51 He was like, oh, he believed in his friend. What a dickhead. He trusted his friend, never do that. He left his licence, his birth certificate, and his signature behind, yes, what a dickhead. With his friend. Would you give me that stuff? Did he know that his friend is the most wanted man in Canada? No.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Funnily enough, he hadn't mentioned that. Well, what kind of friendship is that? Built on lies. Yeah, exactly. In my mind, the real bad guy in this scenario is the one. which I can't remember the name, but one of the two. Platt or Walker? Yes, Platt or Walker.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Walker. Or Davies. Or Davies. I think to me, it's the one who didn't let you ride on their horse, Dave. Yeah. That was a real criminal here. My science teacher. Good guy, good guy.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So Platt agreed. He left behind his driver's license birth certificate and a stamp of his signature. And he went back to Canada in 1992, hoping to settle there permanently. As soon as he was gone, Walker then assumed his identity. Because he already had everything that he needed to do that. So it wasn't that hard. And did he, when Platt left, did he leave his girlfriend behind?
Starting point is 00:16:05 She must have gone too. I'm also going to need your girlfriend. Walker just turns out one day and says, hey, baby. It's me. It's me, your boyfriend, Platt. She's like, Dave, what are you doing here? No, look, I've got his license, which doesn't match my face, admittedly. And I've got a stamp of my signature.
Starting point is 00:16:20 So I'm pretty sure Why do you need a stamp of your own signature Oh, convenience, duh Why are you being weird today? Gaslighting, it works every time I feel like the signatures was such a weird time That we had wear a squiggle with your name Oh, that proves it's you
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah Like how easy is that to learn? I think we take signatures too seriously Yeah Like we're too pedantic about them You know when you're getting a new passport And it has to match perfectly To the signature you wrote
Starting point is 00:16:50 when you got your license at 18. And it's like, okay, well, do I still have to dot the eye with a little love heart? Yes. I've had my rental bond rejected, because to get it back at the end, because my signature didn't match. Same. Do you know how they told me, they said, oh, this doesn't match. And then they sent me a copy of what it should look like and basically told me,
Starting point is 00:17:09 just forge your own signature. And then we're happy to give you the money back. When you can prove that someone can write a signature like that, you can have the money. So you did the cock and balls and got the cash back. What can I say, 18? It was a crazy time. You did the cock and balls at hotmail.com. That was my signature.
Starting point is 00:17:29 69. You wrote out Hotmail. I love that squiggly A. I do. It's a beautiful character that squiggly A. Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:39 So glad it's in our lives. That's maybe that could be my signature M. Squiggly A. Yes. I love this for you. Yes. It's nice and short. Nothing sharp. Try changing it on Twitter first and see how it feels.
Starting point is 00:17:53 You can test it out before you commit. Try before you buy. But anyway, now we've got two Ronald Platt's. This is confusing. So the new Ronald Platt, so Albert Walker, could have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids. Except that a few years later, the original Ronald Platt ran out of money and decided to come back to the UK, which he did in 1995. Uh-oh. But how did the real Ronald Platt end up dead in a fishing boat a year later?
Starting point is 00:18:18 The real Ronald Platt did. Yep. Oh, I guess it feels like that the fake Ronald Platt killed the real Ronald Platt so he could continue being the fake Ronald Platt. That is a fascinating guess. To me, it seems like the real Ronald Platt fell into some sort of meat grinder and then tripped from the meat grinder into the ocean and died. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Which one of us is closer? Everything but his watch survived. Yeah, those Rolexes are built to laugh. I'm going to for probably maybe the first time Matt's actually quite a bit closer there How's it feel? I thought I thought I was going with the obvious answer that was going to be wrong I feel weird about it to be honest I'm sorry I probably should have shouldn't have said anything I feel like an idiot I accidentally guessed it kind of right but I can just tell you about it now if you like No, don't bother yeah that's fair that's your meat grinder at all no any sort of grinders
Starting point is 00:19:16 Uh, no. Like a grinder monkey man? Uh, maybe somewhere in the world at this time. Whoa, think about that. Certainly not involved in this story. There would have been meat grinders, just somewhere. You're a really good guess of this week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:30 But there was also meat grinder somewhere. So you're both doing super well. Thank you, Sam. Thank you. It's time for a meat grinder. This is nice. It's a nice little moment. Having fun here.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I'm not. Tap out then. You want to stop tapping. It was just sending me a Morse code, message. Yeah, is it better for you to say? This is a long dash. That was send help.
Starting point is 00:19:53 So in July of 1996, Walker took Mr. Platt out on his 24-foot yacht called Lady Jane. It's not the best boat name, but it's fine. Which he kept moored in Dittisham. Dittisham. Dittisham.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Dittisham in the river Dart. And he knocked him unconscious with a blow to the back of his head and threw him into the sea. with a 10 pound anchor tucked into his trouser belt. I've seen a couple of 10 pound anchors tucked into trouser belts in my time, can I just say. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah, absolutely. What do you mean? That's fascinating. There's no time in this week. Who have you assisted in murder? I've said too much. I've said too much. I assume Dave couldn't pull off a murder himself, so we'd have to just help someone
Starting point is 00:20:42 else with it. Can I can only even make toast. Yeah. Even then he burns it. To be honest, that's how I've killed people for accident before. Toasters him to death? Yeah, well, they're in the bath and I'm like, can I have help make me the toe? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Oh, not another one. Oh, no, I don't know how the toaster works. I just want peanut buttered toast. That's all we all want. So the officer in charge of this murder case was Detective Superintendent Phil Sincock. And he said, there was one bit of luck in terms of the Essex policeman going to the wrong door. But other than that, it was down to painstaking police. You can't claim that Philco.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And some new groundbreaking scientific inquiries. So I was like, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, a little bit of luck. Mostly excellent police work. Mostly science, okay, calling up Roll X and reading out a number over the phone. Yeah. Well, they did a lot of stuff. So the police sees an entire van load of documents from Walker's house and in amongst all that paper was a tiny receipt that told them that he'd recently purchased an anchor. And they were like, hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Who keeps their documents in a van? No, they got the documents out of the house and put them in their police van. I thought that he's... They took the van. You thought that was his filing cabinet. Yeah, please step into my office. It's this van. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:58 That's himself. I like how he's keeping the receipts, though. Yeah. I don't need that at tax time. The thing I used to murder my friend. You go to the shop and they're like, do you want a receipt? Oh, yes, please. I'd be like, no.
Starting point is 00:22:09 And I was never here. Can I claim? Can I claim this? Can I claim this? GPS navigation system back to its manufacturer. Rolex? I can only assume. Ah, Tissot.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Of course. And the manufacturers were able to plot coordinates which gave the police the time and date it had been switched off and proved that it had been very near to where Mr Platt's body had been found at the time that he was killed. Case close. Yeah. He sounds like he was trying to be caught.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, it's pretty... I'm going to use a GPS. He basically turned the homing beacon on. Yeah. A tracking device. Maybe he should have just stuck to like fraud, you know. You're trying to run with the big dogs, trying to get into murder. It's like, stick to what you know.
Starting point is 00:22:53 You don't have it, mate. Okay. But I think, yeah, maybe just. You're leaving paper trails. What I would have done is not killed my friend. I would have just said, hey man, funny story. I am living as you now. What will it take for this to keep going on?
Starting point is 00:23:07 Can I give you some money? Can I send you back to Canada? You're broke now. You want to go back? I'll fund that. Yeah. Yeah. I got another idea.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Let's fake your death. We'll leave your watch on. Oh. We need a meat grinder. I'll take the fall. Then you can reassume your identity when I'm in jail. As you. Do you think?
Starting point is 00:23:28 Um, maybe. Just didn't want to break his little heart. He looked so excited. Should have. Should have crushed him. So they also did some tests on Rolex watches. And they found that it took 44 hours for a watch to wind. down.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Oh yeah, they work so hard. You know what I mean? Have a little scotch. 44 hours. You got to have 44 hours off between shifts. You know, after that big buzz you get on stage, what I call the stage, the wrist. And, you know, you're telling this man the time.
Starting point is 00:24:01 It takes me ages to the clock off. Normally watch a few episodes of Gossip Girl. Yeah. Have a little scotch, kick back. But yeah, my mind's still ticking over. You know, that's what it does. But even off the clock I tick as well, yeah. for about 44 hours then I'm able to rest
Starting point is 00:24:17 until I'm wind up again until I'll get wreathe up and a little off again oh here we go up yep ready to go seven plus ten so the watch stopped it had stopped on June 22nd which meant that he had died on June 20th based on how long it took for the watch to wind down
Starting point is 00:24:37 please don't act that out again they found Platt's DNA inside the cabin of the yacht and zinc traces from the anchor on Mr. Platt's belt. So they've got all this evidence. During the investigation, police also found gold bars to the value of 25,000 pounds
Starting point is 00:24:53 in various locations. See, this is what I mean. He had so much money to pay him off. Yeah, just pay him off. Don't kill him. But instead he's hidden it around the place in case he had to do a runner. And he had, like, hiding spots. Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. So if, like, if he couldn't go that way, he could go that way and get some money. I'm speaking like, I'm looking at a map. Right, not like. Oh, it's left or right. Yeah, I'm not saying like that door or that door. You know.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Yeah, behind one of these doors is 25,000 pounds on gold. This really sucks. The guy who trusted his friend and ended up dying. Don't trust your friends. That's the lesson here. My whole thing is if you'd just taking the Rolex off, would have gone away with it, right? Yeah, why?
Starting point is 00:25:33 But I mean, how do you convince someone to, oh yeah, you could have taken it off after you'd hit him over the back of the head? Yeah. Hmm. I don't know, Dave. I don't think these things through like a size. I guess he just wouldn't have, he probably wouldn't have thought that Rolex would have such a identifiable watches, I guess.
Starting point is 00:25:50 What kind of self-respecting crook sees a Rolex and just leaves it? Right. Yeah. Have some pride in your work. He's really more into money fraud rather than stealing things. He stole the watch and someone ended up going, hey, I reckon you've stolen that watch, let's trace it back. Oh no, it does belong to Mr. Platt, so you're all good. On with your day, sir.
Starting point is 00:26:15 God, that'd be a weird conversation. I reckon you've stolen that watch. I'm just ordering a coffee. You're a TV repair man. Leave me a lot. Oh, sure. You repaired the BBC and they gave you this watch. Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Okay, great. Well, on your way. Thank you for your service. Thanks for stopping by at my cafe. And I'm sorry that I, you know, you just sorted a nice meal. Sorry, I haven't had a coffee yet and I'm a little antsy and a bit defensive for no reason. So the barista hasn't had a coffee yet. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Come on, mate. Come on, mate. Come on. You got to help yourself before you have. Yeah. Can't give from an empty cow. One for you, one for me. In the court proceedings, the judge stated,
Starting point is 00:26:48 it is in my judgment. Which is what they do best. Yeah, judge things. A callous premeditated killing designed to eliminate a man you had used for your own selfish ends. And he said the Walker had found Platt to be firstly inconvenient,
Starting point is 00:27:02 then increasingly a possible threat to your continued freedom. He became not merely expendable, but a danger to you, and he had to die. This? judge a poet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 He's always sizzling the story. The judge is also going, I get why you did it. Yeah. He had to die. He had to die. I get it. Still not a good thing to do it.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Walker's on the stand going, that's what I said. He gets it. He had yes. He had to die. Later that day, the judge also brought the rights of the story. I see this been a great mini series. I get it.
Starting point is 00:27:35 It's so gritty. Albert Walker was found guilty in 1998 and received an automatic life sentence for murder. But in 2000, In 2007, he was transferred back to Canada, where he faced additional charges of fraud, theft and money laundering, and we'll see out the rest of his days in prison. Wow, the Rolex murder. And if you chose inequality watch like a Tissau, this never would have happened. Yeah, get a Tissow. I got given a Tissow once?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Put it in the bin. I said, I don't need your rubbish here. Yeah, get out of you. Unless they wanted to give us any kind of sponsorship. Yeah, I'll retract. We'll edit that out. Yeah. And we'll edit Tissos under all our risk.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yeah, no problem. We are for sale. Ding. Just in case between now and... I did the ding, but even if you could put the little light there, ding, thank you. Well, we're even willing to create a new character, like a sort of a marketing logo for Tissau.
Starting point is 00:28:30 In my head, just a bit boring. Maybe some sort of a superpowered horse who used to be a man who fucked a horse. But now... But now it is a horse. So maybe it's the son of that man. Yeah, son of himself. I was thinking that that was the punishment,
Starting point is 00:28:46 like, you're a man who fucked a horse. Now you must be a horse. Yeah. But that horse, on just above his little hoof, beautiful Tissot watch. Beautiful watch. Well, that's it for the Rolex murder. This is a spinoff of our podcast do go on
