Surely by now you know this is of course the red-handed monthly patreon roundup so it is a summary of all of the best bits all of the fun stuff that we've been doing over on patreon for our patrons so today you are going to wrap your

ears around hannah and I talking about Boris Johnson, our current Prime Minister, if he still is by the time you're listening to this, and Carregate. Yes, how he tried to give his mistress a £100,000 taxpaying job so that he could carry on his love affair. We'll also talk about Preeti Patel and refugees, the European Court of Human Rights. Then you will get a 10-minute snippet of our exclusive Patreon bonus episode on Martin McNeill, the Mormon doctor, lawyer, bishop, etc. who tried to kill his wife through a facelift. Then we'll round it all off with Prince Andrew not being able to join the weird garter celebrations here

because he is of course a sweaty nonce. And finally, we'll be rounding things off with a summary of the platydubes. And if you don't know what that is well listen up number 10 pressured the times the newspaper the times to drop a story about boris johnson and his wife carrie would you like to know what the story was it is hilariously just so infuriating. So apparently when Boris Johnson was having an affair with Carrie, because he was married to somebody else and he had an affair with Carrie, I don't know who she was.

It was someone who worked in parliament and that's how they met. She was an aide, I think. Yeah, like an aide or something. So he decided while he was having this affair with this aide, Carrie, to push her forward for a hundred grand job at the foreign office when she was his mistress. And giving her like a secret, like... Dick. Secret dick.

Secret dick and secret, like, what's the word? Like coaching, prepping her, greasing the greasy wheels so that his mistress got the job, basically. And really like going full hog on this. And it came out, it was leaked to the newspapers, to the Times. And this week, Number 10 has admitted that they did call the Times and apply some serious pressure in order to stop them publishing that story but it obviously got out anyway and it was all over twitter and the independent reported on it hashtag carry gate ah so they got tuckered yes they did they did but a hundred grand job at the foreign office for carrie simmons who was just an aide that he was fucking

that is a hundred grand's worth of taxpayers money that he was just gonna put his mistress in a position where he could keep fucking her basically and be like do you remember when i got you that great job now xyz not to get too filthy well speaking of government money do you know yes how much priti patel has paid rwanda oh uh quite Quite a lot, I would assume. Yes, it's quite a lot. Bs? Ms?

Ms. 100 million. 120. 120. All right. So if you are not British, you will not know that on the anniversary of the Grenfell fire,

Priti Patel sent a, well, tried to send, the plan was to send a plane full of refugees people who have done legally nothing wrong there was 130 of them originally then it was down to seven one of which was a victim of um torture in iraq and she wanted to send them to rwanda for processing her defense is that australia have been doing this for years um to stop people

arriving on boats etc etc etc so she paid 120 million pounds to rwanda um in the with the promise that rwanda would hold these refugees not criminals refugees um for as long as she fucking wanted that to happen the european court of human rights grounded the plane they were like you cannot do that i don't care if you're pretty or not um so she is now pushing for us to leave the european court of human rights which will essentially mean she can do whatever she wants no i did see this and yes i obviously am not like pro the rwanda uh shipping shipping flighting whatever we want to call it my issue with the european human court of rights is that and i'm not speaking specifically about this incident i'm speaking, is that it is

there to kind of keep democracy from running rampant. Like it was put in place after the Second World War, after the Nazis, because they were like, well, the people there voted for Hitler and then look what he did. There should be checks and balances externally on a country's democracy. So just to play devil's advocate, my concern with the European human court of rights and the things they're doing is this, uh, these policies, I guess, can be voted in by people. Cause they're like, I'm going to vote for the Tories. And then the Tories are going to put forward this idea. And then it's debated in the house of commons. It's passed into law. This kind of thing happens. And happens and i guess like again devil's advocate question

is how far should an external court be allowed to dictate the democratic um the democratic decisions that are made within a country about certain policies that they may or may not want to run is my question i think my opinion on that is that cultural relativism only takes you so far. Oh, yeah, I don't. So I think there does need to be a external body that is like, these things we stipulate are over the line. I do think that needs to exist. And like, obviously, there are things that don't exist within those policies. For me, it's FGM.

I think that is over the line. I don't me, it's FGM. I think that is over the line. I don't think that has a cultural difference. I think that should be absolutely 100% illegal everywhere. And then when it comes to stuff like this, you should, you just shouldn't be able to do so. It's, it's, it's never going to be an uncontentious issue to have a set of rules that everyone has to follow when everyone is a democratic country. Like that is never going to to be an uncontentious thing I just think it's the lesser of two evils yeah no and I again it's just a it's just a debate I don't know where I land on it um because I think that protecting like our democratic right to vote for things in terms of how we want to govern our policies how we want to govern our borders how we want to govern xyz within our nation and again

i'm not specifically talking about rwanda this is just like an area in which this has come up um you know i think there are obviously major issues with what uh priti patel is um advocating for i'm obviously no fan of hers and also i don't know that it solves the problem of um you know uh mass refugees coming to this country or anything like that if that's what you're saying the issue is which i think no but again it comes back to i don't feel like anybody any political party is putting forward a good idea again labor on this the only thing they've really said is it's unworkable and i'm like well what's the alternative what and i'm not saying well we should do this because there isn't i'm like I would love to see somebody coming forward with a viable workable alternative when that's not happening I guess my only thing

is how do we how do we navigate this system in which an unelected external body dictates that to us that's my only sort of looking at both sides of it question mark about the european court of human rights but i also take your point that should there be a check on it from outside i don't know i'm not sure yeah i think i mean it's the whole thing with the eu also people don't like being policed from outside yes and they don't feel like they um that nobody likes feeling like they don't have a say um i could that was david mitchell said something when the brexit vote was happening and he was like i don't think that the general public should be allowed to vote because we don't fucking know what we're talking about like they're

all of the um and i'm not saying i advocate for this i thought it was just an interesting point he was like why can't the politicians and the and the economists vote on this because the general public largely don't know they don't know and i think that like i don't love that argument and i like david mitchell i'm i didn't hear that i'm surprised to hear him say something like that that makes me feel a bit sad because i think that um politicians and economists economists i can specifically speak for them, they fall into various camps where they have different ideologies. So they, there's no proof for the things that they say will or won't make a difference. For example, this is why, you know, one of the famous quotes about economists is the, the economy needs economists, like the weather needs weathermen,

like all they can do is sit around and like pontificate, but we all know the weather does whatever the fuck it wants. And you can't really tell down to an hour what the weather's going to be like and I think that makes me sad because then it's run by people who are just as ideologically motivated as a person who might vote for that with yes a bit more information but I think politics when it comes to Brexit a lot more information yeah but I think it's like when we get annoyed when people say why are you talking about politics I think if we're going to live in a in an equal in a democracy then I think people should have the vote and the say on things like this I think people were misled about certain things but I think that um you know I I feel like obviously I voted to remain but if now there was

an option to be like let's rejoin European Union or let's stay as we are I would stay as we are and just be like let's focus on what we need to get done now for the sake of our country and what we need to do um love Europe I don't know I have some misgivings now because there was a lot of things that were undemocratic about it things like Ursula von der Leyen for example who's who's like the top person at the EU. She's not elected by us. She's elected by other people, but she can make decisions that would have affected us if we'd stayed in the European Union. Again, I'm not a Brexiteer. I voted to remain. But I think that I wouldn't want to be in a situation where economists and politicians

make those decisions. I felt like we should have the vote and whatever happens we should have had a better educated population and we should have had a better informed population and I know that can sound a bit like rosy-eyed about the whole thing but no I wouldn't have wanted a situation where people shouldn't have the vote on certain and specific things even like Scottish independence again it's a very contentious issue. But if people have if they have a referendum, and that's what people vote for, as much as I wouldn't want that on the 11th of April 2007. Harvard is the oldest and richest university in America.

We bring to life some of the biggest controversies in U.S. history. Presidential lies, environmental disasters, corporate fraud. In our latest series, NASA embarks on an ambitious program to reinvent space exploration with the launch of its first reusable vehicle, the Space Shuttle. And in 1985, they announced they're sending teacher Krista McAuliffe into space aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger, along with six other astronauts.

But less than two minutes after liftoff, the Challenger explodes. And in the tragedy's aftermath, investigators uncover a series of preventable failures by NASA and its contractors that led to the disaster.

That's what it says on their license plates. Quite the claim. Wow. Yep. So Ada's adopted father, Martin, was a practicing physician and a trained lawyer, so double Asian parent-loving careers. And he sent Ada to find her mother, whose name was Michelle.

And Ada bounded up the stairs. When she entered the bathroom, she saw her mother lying lifeless in the bath. She then called for her father. And when Martin saw what happened, he sent Ada next door to get help. Martin made a series of frantic 911 calls, almost incomprehensibly ranting down the phone and hanging up three times on the responder. When Ada returned with the neighbours, Martin and next door's Doug Daniels, they fucking love, what's it called? Alliteration. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. And Martin and Doug Daniels they fucking love what's it called alliteration yeah yeah nice and Martin and Doug Daniels worked together to lift Michelle out of the tub she was cold pale and unmoving

with thick mucus running down her face blood ran from ruptured incisions across her forehead and her eyelids but it's not from face stabbing it's from a facelift that she had had a few days before have you seen the real housewives of salt lake city no yo okay so i i dip my toes in and out of all of the housewife franchises right the commonly held opinion is that beverly hills is best uh-huh new york is second and then after that atlanta can fuck off it's salt lake city because the beauty standards are just so different to like anything else i feel like you know obviously the new york housewives and the la housewives look different you can tell they're from different places but the utah girls, oh my God. Like I can't even describe it.

It's like that. I think they even address it in the show where they're like, oh, if you're, if you're an LA seven, you're a Utah four. Yeah. It's crazy.

That's savage. Like I haven't watched as much. My sister's watched all of it and she is, she is a solid, solid fan. She's a solid Utah seven. Yeah. yeah um so if you've got time to waste i mean i do so i feel like the housewives like i don't feel like you've really engaged with the housewives franchise but it's it's reasonably up your street this is the thing i i'm not i'm not

at all like oh i just i'm not i'm too good for that. I'm just like, you have your particular brand of shit TV, don't you? And I've just finished maths, so I need a little detox before I jump into my next thing. It's just, it's, it's a culture shock. It's, uh, it's pretty. Well, it's working its way to the top of the list. Anyway, so I'm not surprised that Michelle, being a Salt Lake City wife, had had a facelift. They all be getting work. Mm-hmm. mm-hmm.

So the men worked together. That's Martin and his neighbour Doug. They worked together to perform CPR, with Doug doing the compressions on Michelle's chest and Martin blowing into her mouth. Doug knew CPR, but he deferred to his physician neighbour for instruction. But as Doug worked to bring Michelle back to life,

he couldn't help but notice that her chest wasn't rising or falling. And while there was mucus all over Michelle's face, none had transferred onto Martin's. Uh-oh. Sounds like he's not doing what he's meant to be doing as part of this CPR tandem act. Yeah, sounds like he's just putting his face close enough. So Doug wondered, how could a physician be failing to perform such a basic life-saving procedure on his dying wife?

Surely he would have known that those moments are critical. What Doug didn't know was that both Michelle's plastic surgery and her death had been part of a meticulous, sinister plot and the culmination of a lifetime of lies. This is the story of Martin McNeill, the doctor, the lawyer and former Mormon bishop, and his children's six-year fight to bring him down. To their community, the McNeils were every bit the perfect family. The doctor, lawyer, bishop, etc. and the former beauty queen had eight children in total. That's very good Mormon-ing of them. And these eight children included three that they had adopted from Ukraine.

That's excellent Mormonism. So Michelle Summers was born in 1957 and raised in Concord, California, in a devoutly religious Mormon household. And though her dad wasn't around, it was a loving family, and Michelle did really well at school. She was also homecoming queen, she did some modelling, and later even went on to win the title of Miss Concord. Her sister Linda later remembered her as, quote, a dream big sister.

She was popular, she was athletic and she was great at school. She also loved music. She played the violin. We were all very proud of her. She is very much an all-rounder, is Michelle. So after a few years of modelling, Michelle decided that she wanted to pursue her studies at, you guessed it, Brigham Young. No, nothing good happens there. BYU, which if you don't know, is of course a private Mormon university in Utah.

But before Michelle did this, she attended an event for young, unmarried LDS members in 1977, which is probably just as much fun as it sounds. I mean, at this point, maybe I should get down there. Should we get you to an LDS or even an FLDS event? Who knows? Well, I don't know because I'm doing a lot of Mormon Tikcking um and people who have left the church um so when you get married i think when you get married it's the first time you're allowed in the temple oh yes um and all they do is masonry they have to wear little like mason outfits and do like handshakes and stuff um and obviously a mormon's never going to challenge me on that because they're not allowed to talk about it easy Easy. Easy peasy.

If only everything we ever said was that easy. So yes, maybe we should get you to an LDS event because at this young unmarried LDS event, which was obviously a marry a Mormon mixer, Michelle met another M. She met Martin McNeil. Martin was a year older. He was tall, handsome and confident with piercing blue eyes.

He grew up in Camden, New Jersey, which I think is where Michelle Visage is from, and his childhood was not as rosy as Michelle's had been. His parents were both alcoholics and they fought endlessly. After his dad left, his mum turned to sex work and often had clients over to their one-bedroom apartment. And in that one-bedroom apartment, it was only a single sheet hanging from the ceiling, separating Martin and his siblings from their mum and her clients. Needless to say, this took its toll on young Martin McNeill.

And at the age of just eight, he collected all the drugs he could find in the apartment, mixed them into a bottle of booze and gave it to his mother. At eight years old. That is horrifying. Isn't it just? Oh my God, the whole thing is just horrifying. His whole childhood is just horrifying. And it was only when his sister returned home from work

that their mother was taken to hospital. Martin was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a teenager and he faked his age and joined the army. In the army, his strange and rebellious traits started to manifest into more worrying behaviour. He started telling commanders about the voices in his head that urged him to kill. In the army, they're just like, don't fucking say that. Yeah, no, we all have them. We just shush, shush.

Don't listen. Don't. Oh, now you've told me. Do you know how much paperwork I'm going to have to do? Fuck you, Martin McNeil. And I know we're actually training you to kill people. We just gonna have to do fuck you martin mcneil and i know we're actually training you to kill people we just don't like it when you talk about it no or when you talk about it like that's what you want to do so they sent him for a psychiatric evaluation where examiners diagnosed him with latent schizophrenia with other mental and psychological infirmities. So just...

Vague. You've just got some stuff going on, young man. You've got some other mental infirmities. Unspecified pick and mix of psychological issues. God. So after just two years in the army, he was discharged on disability leave. And it was then that Martin McNeill found God.

Well, you know what they say, when God closes a door, he opens a window. I'm Jake Warren, and in our first season of Finding, I set out on a very personal quest to find the woman who saved my mum's life. You can listen to Finding Natasha right now, exclusively on Wondery Plus. In season two I found myself caught up in a new journey to help someone I've never even met but a couple of years ago I came across a social media post by a person named Loti. It read in part, three years ago today that I attempted to jump off this bridge but this wasn't my time to go. A gentleman named Andy saved my life. I still haven't found him. This is a story that I came across purely by chance, but it instantly moved me,

and it's taken me to a place where I've had to consider some deeper issues around mental health. This is season two of Finding, and this time, if all goes to plan, we'll be finding Andy. You can listen to Finding Andy and Finding Natasha exclusively and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery in the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

They say Hollywood is where dreams are made, a seductive city where many flock to get rich, be adored, and capture America's heart. But when the spotlight turns off, fame, fortune, and lives can disappear in an instant. When TV producer Roy Radin was found dead in a canyon near L.A. in 1983, there were many questions surrounding his death. The last person seen with him was Lainey Jacobs, a seductive cocaine dealer who desperately wanted to be part of the Hollywood elite. Together, they were trying to break into the movie industry.

But things took a dark turn when a million dollars worth of cocaine and cash went missing. From Wondery comes a new season of the hit show Hollywood and Crime, The Cotton Club Murder.

Is Prince Andrew the most deluded man in the world? And I was like, yes, because... Second to Liam Payne. Possibly. So Prince Andrew has come out and said that he wants his title reinstated recognized and respected yeah it was supposed to be today he was supposed to return today because there is a a procession at windsor for the order of the garter i tried to look up what garter day was the order i was like i'm so fucking bored i don't give a shit so apparently it's i think it's like it's like uh the order of the garter it's like you get a knight basically

prince andrew puts his head up the queen's dress and pulls off her garter with his teeth and this year he's not going to be allowed to do it because he's a fucking nonce so um he wanted to come to this order of the garter and for uh four weeks it's kind of been saying that that was going to be his first public appearance why i don't know because i thought the deal was he's not going to make any more public appearances he's not going to have a public life and we were all going to allow the royal family to continue on the basis that that was the agreement that the nonce just goes into the tower and is never into the basement into the tower into the basement and never seen

again i mean he's lucky stout prison well quite but apparently it seemed like he was going to come out but a last minute family decision was made to stop him and it seems that charles and william were like absolutely fucking not that's what i read i read that charles was like listen mom i know he's your favorite i know he's your favorite. I know he's your favorite one, but he should probably not. This is my day. I don't want him there. He always blows out my candles. And I feel like, bro, big bro.

Yeah, Charles has had enough. Like, fuck you, mom. And fuck him even harder. He's looking old as shit, Charles, isn't he? He's not looking well. He is. I mean, he's definitely... So the queen isn't he's not looking well he is i mean he's definitely so the queen actually um in the last day or so has become the second longest reigning

monarch ever in history ever yeah uh only to have been beaten by louis the 14th of france and so he did 72 years and 112 days so she's got basically three years to go oh is that it Oh, is that it? Because he came to the crown when he was four, but I guess I don't know when he died. So she's got how many more years? Basically like two and a half years. Oh, is she going to make it? I think she will. She's going to hold on.

They're just going to plug her into the mains. She'll make it. She'll make it. And then she'll instantly die. And I think that's what she's waiting for. I feel like Queenie is a, I feel like Lizzie's a record breaker. Well, this is the thing. So my grandma is obsessed

because they were born in the same year. So my mom, my grandma thinks that she has led this like parallel life to the queen, right? Sure. She hasn't. But she talks about it a lot. Hates Meghan Marklele big royalist blah blah

blah um and my grandma has always said you know i'll keep going as long as she does and i'm like your life is significantly worse than hers though like you're not the queen but she thinks she is i get it i guess it's just like lizzie kind of embodies that whole like olden time oh yeah calm and carry on stiff British upper lip and like I was talking about it because I was obviously in Seville over the year Jubilee weekend and for some reason one night my friend and I came back to the hotel room and we turned the tv on and there was just like an hour-long documentary about Queen Elizabeth and we watched it and I don't know why but it was actually quite interesting i guess because it was like a lot of footage of um her as she's so young when she's crowned i think

she was like 21 2021 something ridiculously young i think she was 20 yeah so baby and um you know just like a video footage of her and like philip when they first met when they had their kids etc and you know she she's been around for a fucking long time I think I did accidentally watch The Crown last Christmas because I was at home for two weeks my parents were watching it so like every time I was in the room I was watching it and at first I was like lots of protesting but then actually I just kind of watched it and it was actually pretty good um And it's just so weird because in there you're just like watching her talk to like Churchill and stuff. And you're like, God, you're so old. And I get why when you've had one constant that's been there for such a long time,

I get why people have this sort of like the positive feeling towards her. But I do think once she's gone, I don't know how it's going to survive. I mean, I think it will. I think it will be like a Boris Johnson, no confidence situation, whether he'll just keep going no matter what, like some sort of very resilient rat. But speaking of the platydubes, I forgot to say this when we were talking about it.

A friend of mine was outside a pub on the platinum jubilee i think it might have actually been on the sunday like the day the day and he sent me this picture of a guy wearing a falklands memorial football shirt outside and i was like what the fuck is that about that is quite what what a statement yeah like yeah not ideal no when i was in uh where was i when i was in the when i was somewhere i think i was either in i was somewhere in patagonia right and i'm not far off no no and there was a sign there but it wasn't like a somebody had just stuck it up it was like a plaque like a bronze plaque and it was basically i was on the bit where you're about to go to like where the last lighthouse in the world is so you do a little boat trip out and you're like oh it's the last lighthouse blah blah

and they had like a plaque there and it said that the Falklands is being illegally occupied I mean yeah it was just like but it was very interesting because it was like this solid bronze plaque like stuck into the wall. And I was like, uh oh, I just hide my passport. Yeah, I've heard from like, in most of Latin America, like being British is considered sort of better than being from the US, apart from in Argentina. Oui. Oui.

I'm French now. Don't look at me. I'm not British. I am French. we hate the british i had such a i had such an argument when i used to work at that charity with that incredibly contrarian man um jeremy corbyn had said something about the falklands um sharing governance something something um i mean that's how long ago this was because jeremy corbyn was still relevant um so and he came into the office he was still he, he was like, I'm so fucked off with, and Jeremy Corbyn was his MP. About the Falklands, and that's upset you for the day.

Yeah, literally. And I was like, well, I don't really, well, we probably should be sharing governance with Argentina. It's kind of theirs. And he was like, people died for the Falklands. I was like, people died for colonialism. That's not a fucking argument. People die for all sorts of things. What a ridiculous thing to say. And he used to say the same thing about the EU as well. He used to be like, people died for democracy. And I'm like, shut up. Oh my God.

People die for loads of things. That's such a ridiculous argument to make. I can't. Anyway, sorry. I couldn't have worked there. I mean, I didn't for very long. No, thanks. Fuck for that.

No, I had very little else to say, apart from saying that I failed to understand what the Order of the Garter was, but it doesn't really matter because apparently, this is a sentence I copied and pasted, it is a prestigious royal order of chivalry. And people are added to it

at this ceremony that's taking place today, which is Monday the 13th of June. And would you like to know who is going to be there since Andrew is not going to be there? Chivalry is in the right to rape and pillage. Yeah. Something like that. Just checking.

Yeah. So the person who is going to be there is Sir Tony Blair. And he's Sir Tony Blair because he was quietly knighted last week with very little fanfare. He was. did you know at the Finsbury Park Theatre there is currently Tony Blair the rock opera oh yes I saw this I really want to go watch it let's go I saw it on like time out like things to do in London yeah I completely forgot I actually think I took a screenshot of it and was gonna send it to you

and I was like it's midnight go to sleep to sleep. Yes. We should absolutely go. Tony Blair, the rock opera. Let's fucking go. Because we're going to Jerusalem this week. We are going to Jerusalem on Thursday. I have zero idea what it's about. It's going to change your life. Oh, I can't wait.
