                                        In times like these, it's important to know who you can trust.
                                         
                                        At last, a news source that's reliably reliable, informatively informational and never wrong.
                                         
                                        Unfortunately, you're not listening to it.
                                         
                                        Instead, you're listening to The Chaser Report.
                                         
                                        Welcome to The Chaser Report.
                                         
                                        I'm Charles Firth, and today we have a big surprise on this show.
                                         
                                        But big, big news, Andrew Anson, hello, how are you going?
                                         
                                        Yeah, look, not bad, Charles.
                                         
    
                                        I like how you drop the H from a name.
                                         
                                        Make it sound nice and casual here, Andrew Anson.
                                         
                                        Andrew Anson.
                                         
                                        Hey, Dom, how are you going?
                                         
                                        How the hell are you, Dom, right?
                                         
                                        I am, as always, in awe of your silky tongue hosting skills, Charles.
                                         
                                        Thank you.
                                         
                                        Anyway, we do have big, big news, really big news.
                                         
    
                                        The ratings for the podcast have come out.
                                         
                                        It's a monthly rancor.
                                         
                                        and we have debuted in the podcast rankings at number 68.
                                         
                                        What do you think, guys?
                                         
                                        Oh, look, this has exceeded all my highest expectations.
                                         
                                        Charles, I've always, you know, my parents always taught me to strive to be number 68.
                                         
                                        There's no point in, you know, in settling for the second best when you could be 68th instead.
                                         
                                        Does it only go down a 68?
                                         
    
                                        Like, are there only 68 podcasts in Australia?
                                         
                                        It only goes down to 58, unfortunately.
                                         
                                        It's not quite true.
                                         
                                        We're actually in quite good company because number 67 is called the podcast called the SCA Queensland News,
                                         
                                        which, you know, it's pretty auspicious company to be in.
                                         
                                        That's a damn popular.
                                         
                                        I mean, yeah, I think don't the Kardashians host that?
                                         
                                        That's a huge hit.
                                         
    
                                        And then the number 69th podcast, which I must admit, I wish we were number 69.
                                         
                                        But it's a podcast called Complete Drivel.
                                         
                                        So maybe actually we are 69.
                                         
                                        What's the difference with our podcast?
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        So are you telling me, are you telling me, Charles, that we are less popular than news about Queensland?
                                         
                                        Yes, yes.
                                         
                                        We may as well give up in the coast.
                                         
    
                                        We're done.
                                         
                                        We're finished.
                                         
                                        It's over.
                                         
                                        Anyway, looking through it, I think we have to convert our podcast to become a true crime podcast because basically the first 20 slots are all just true crime.
                                         
                                        I mean, I've been arrested in the service of the chase.
                                         
                                        that counts for something.
                                         
                                        Shall we do a true crime podcast on ourselves?
                                         
                                        Well, my mum reckons this podcast is a true crime.
                                         
    
                                        So against humanity, she calls it.
                                         
                                        But coming up, we've got I Celebrity,
                                         
                                        and Dom's going to run us through the British version
                                         
                                        of the Melbourne Cup.
                                         
                                        But first of all, let's head over to Rebecca Day and a Minow
                                         
                                        in the Chaser Newsroom.
                                         
                                        South Australian Premier Stephen Marshall
                                         
                                        has revealed that the South Australian border
                                         
    
                                        has been open for months,
                                         
                                        but no one has.
                                         
                                        noticed or bothered to visit. The South Australian Premier announced months ago that his state was
                                         
                                        open for business, but this news was flagged as false or misleading by Facebook. The Australian Labor
                                         
                                        Party is not crooked or corrupt, according to an internal investigation conducted by senior
                                         
                                        elders Graham Richardson and Eddie O'Beed. The investigation said that allegations made
                                         
                                        against Adam Somurek were all just a silly misunderstanding and that all the witnesses had mysteriously
                                         
                                        gone missing anyway. That's the Chaser Report headlines. News You Can.
                                         
    
                                        trust.
                                         
                                        Thanks, Beck.
                                         
                                        Hey, Beck, isn't it great that we're number 68 in the rankings?
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, that's great for you.
                                         
                                        I mean, do you like the show?
                                         
                                        Me?
                                         
                                        Oh, no, I don't listen.
                                         
                                        Not really my taste.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, right.
                                         
                                        Oh, okay.
                                         
                                        Well, fair enough.
                                         
                                        The Chaser Report number 68.
                                         
                                        When you want your news,
                                         
                                        turn to the 68th most trusted news source.

                                        Now, Charles and Andrew.
                                         
    
                                        Every year since 1946, Queen Elizabeth II has gone to the races for five consecutive days.
                                         
                                        68 times she's been as queen until this year.
                                         
                                        And Royal Ascot is on at the moment.
                                         
                                        And it's a very unusual version of Royal Ascot.
                                         
                                        We'll get to that.
                                         
                                        But I want to give you a sense of the kind of levels of excitement generated when the queen goes to the races.
                                         
                                        I mean, listen to this commentator at last year's Prince of Wales Steaks.
                                         
                                        Oh, it's calm. I was waiting. I was waiting. And if you wait patiently, magical,
                                         
    
                                        a hundred grand at seven to four in the ring. The money is down. Can they pick it up,
                                         
                                        Richard Hoyles? Magical, can she be magical? The amazingly about that clip is that the horses
                                         
                                        haven't even started racing yet. Have to listen to the next bit of the clip.
                                         
                                        Magical, can she be magical?
                                         
                                        So the Prince of Wales and Stakesfield are loaded away and they're sent on their journey.
                                         
                                        That's while they're standing in the stalls.
                                         
                                        Yes, yes, he's that. Look, he might be a bit tipsy.
                                         
                                        get to that as well. The twist this year is that everyone has to watch at home. There's no crowd at
                                         
    
                                        all at the racetrack. So the question is how interesting is the event without fashions and
                                         
                                        drinking and the royal family? I'm suspecting not very. But let's explore this world before
                                         
                                        we get to this year's version of the posher yet more pissed royal version of our very own Melbourne
                                         
                                        Cup. So in the morning at Royal Ascot, the gates are always opened by the Yeoman
                                         
                                        Prickers, who are the traditional stewards,
                                         
                                        clad in green, the Yoman prickers.
                                         
                                        They've been doing that since 1711.
                                         
                                        Why would you think they're called Yoman prickers?
                                         
    
                                        Well, I'm assuming, I'm pretty sure it's because they hold pitchforks
                                         
                                        and they have to prick the peasants to sort of keep them out as they open the gates.
                                         
                                        Don't you think that?
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        And nowadays it's just members of the public.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        Well, I was going to guess that they're the ones who get the Gigi.
                                         
                                        started. I wondered if they have little
                                         
    
                                        toothpicks and they just jab it
                                         
                                        into the backside of the horses
                                         
                                        get them going around the track
                                         
                                        a bit faster, is that what?
                                         
                                        Charles is absolutely correct.
                                         
                                        When it was started
                                         
                                        in 1711, Queen Anne
                                         
                                        founded Royal Ascot.
                                         
    
                                        And she got all these stewards.
                                         
                                        She dressed them in green
                                         
                                        and gave them all sharp pricking devices
                                         
                                        to make sure
                                         
                                        that the peasants stayed off the track
                                         
                                        but also to move them out of her way.
                                         
                                        So when she walked around, all the people in green had these sharp objects to move people out of the way.
                                         
                                        That's absolutely true.
                                         
    
                                        That is great.
                                         
                                        I love it.
                                         
                                        Ah, that is so true.
                                         
                                        If you've been born into a better family, Charles, you could have been a yeoman bricker.
                                         
                                        Why don't we have them at the Melbourne Cup?
                                         
                                        We just got pricks.
                                         
                                        Yeah, we just got pricks.
                                         
                                        Now, look, one of the major elements of Royal Ascot, I mean, we know that racing's really
                                         
    
                                        about dressing up. But it's quite something at Royal Ascot, of course, because the queen is there.
                                         
                                        There is a dress guide that you can get to explain what you have to wear. It's 36 pages
                                         
                                        to explain how you've got to wear. And it's quite extraordinary. So there are different enclosures
                                         
                                        with different dress codes. The royal enclosure, of course, is the poshest of all. What do you think
                                         
                                        men have to wear? If you're going to go and spend a day in the same area as the royal family,
                                         
                                        What do you think the dress coat is for men?
                                         
                                        I reckon I know this one as well, which is, I reckon it's no thongs
                                         
                                        and you've got to have a T-shirt on.
                                         
    
                                        We're talking royalty, Charles.
                                         
                                        Slightly posher than that, Charles.
                                         
                                        Slightly posher.
                                         
                                        Well, I think Harry often dresses in the way that you describe it.
                                         
                                        Well, I wondered if it, yes, well, that's what I'm wondering.
                                         
                                        I mean, if it is a royal family dress code, Nazi outfits.
                                         
                                        Is that what you're expected to rock up in?
                                         
                                        Well, interestingly, actually, in my research, in 1947, you could wear military dress to a Royal Asket, but unfortunately, not anymore.
                                         
    
                                        If you want to go, I'm not making this up, you have to wear a top hat.
                                         
                                        You absolutely can't get in the door without a top hat.
                                         
                                        Top hat's a comedy outfit.
                                         
                                        You can only buy them in a joke shop.
                                         
                                        That's right.
                                         
                                        You're going to get a spotlight and get a children's magician's uniform and then turn up.
                                         
                                        Yes, you put one of those pricking devices out of your hat.
                                         
                                        No, so you have to wear one of those very fancy morning suit things.
                                         
    
                                        It's got to be black, grey or navy, that's all.
                                         
                                        Oh, that's a shame.
                                         
                                        I was hoping to wear my pink top hat that I, this year.
                                         
                                        But the other thing is women, and the rule for women, there's a few as well.
                                         
                                        They must have dresses that fall just above the knee, no higher.
                                         
                                        The straps must be at least an inch wide.
                                         
                                        And your hat, you have to have a hat, and its base must be four inches or more.
                                         
                                        So no fascinators for the rights.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, four inches, what's that, a 10 centimetre brim.
                                         
                                        Well, this is just being sunsafe, I suppose, isn't it?
                                         
                                        Actually, you know what, Dom, I don't think many people are interested in the dress code.
                                         
                                        Like, I think actually it's just posh people who are interested in the dress code.
                                         
                                        That is true.
                                         
                                        It's the talk of the town, Charles.
                                         
                                        Down in the pub, that's what everyone's on about.
                                         
                                        See what the Duke of Northumberland was wearing.
                                         
    
                                        What's doing at the Royal Ascot, mate?
                                         
                                        I'd love to give me one of those top hats.
                                         
                                        The highlight of every day at Royal Ascot.
                                         
                                        And this happens five days in a row.
                                         
                                        So it's five Melbourne Cups back to back.
                                         
                                        The Royal Family's procession arrives from Windsor Castle,
                                         
                                        which is nearby at 2pm Sharp.
                                         
                                        How do they get there, do you think?
                                         
    
                                        How do they waltz in?
                                         
                                        Oh, on the back of a corgi?
                                         
                                        I actually think it'll be something like,
                                         
                                        you know, they get the local most pregnant women in the town.
                                         
                                        and they ride on the back of them or something.
                                         
                                        That would be wonderful.
                                         
                                        No, it is.
                                         
                                        It's an open horse and carriage.
                                         
    
                                        And they trundle in.
                                         
                                        They're boring.
                                         
                                        And the Queen is always four white horses because it's the raw family.
                                         
                                        No, hang on, hang on, hang on.
                                         
                                        On the open carriage, wouldn't their top hats blow off?
                                         
                                        Is they riding along?
                                         
                                        But it's England.
                                         
                                        There's no weather.
                                         
    
                                        There's just a light, there's just a light rain.
                                         
                                        So four white horses, this is terrible.
                                         
                                        So they're so uninclusive, the royal family,
                                         
                                        that even the horses have to all be white.
                                         
                                        That's right.
                                         
                                        That's what they do.
                                         
                                        What is it traditional to shout when the queen's carriage passes by at Royal Astro?
                                         
                                        Traditional to shout.
                                         
    
                                        This is true.
                                         
                                        This is apparently why you have to shout as the queen goes by.
                                         
                                        On you, mate.
                                         
                                        Here's to Lizzie.
                                         
                                        She's true.
                                         
                                        No, no.
                                         
                                        One shouts, hip, hip, hooray.
                                         
                                        Oh, no.
                                         
    
                                        Hi, hip, hip, hooray.
                                         
                                        No, people really don't shout that.
                                         
                                        Real people do not shout hip hip-hip-a-ray.
                                         
                                        Surely, please tell me that is not true.
                                         
                                        I've never heard anyone say hippieper-ray.
                                         
                                        Well, you've been to Royal Ascot.
                                         
                                        The carriage arriving really is the big event of the day
                                         
                                        because along with the horses and the winners,
                                         
    
                                        you can actually bet on something to do with the royal family every single day.
                                         
                                        You can place a bet, and this really is probably the most betted-on thing
                                         
                                        other than the big race, the Gold Cup.
                                         
                                        what do you think people bet on about the royal family every single day?
                                         
                                        Oh, whether Prince Andrew killed Jeffrey Epstein?
                                         
                                        That's this year.
                                         
                                        Yeah, the odds are too short to bother.
                                         
                                        Yeah, why would you?
                                         
    
                                        Do you bet on the number of horrendously offensive racist comments made by Prince Philip during the hour?
                                         
                                        No, it's got to be sport, doesn't it?
                                         
                                        And fox hunting's been banned, isn't it?
                                         
                                        So it'll be something like peasant running or something like that.
                                         
                                        Yes, the local peasants race down the track
                                         
                                        and the royals just get out there, hunting rifles.
                                         
                                        Or the pre, yeah, they'd probably have the prickers waiting for them
                                         
                                        at the other end, do they?
                                         
    
                                        So if they escape the bullets, they get pricked to death
                                         
                                        when they cross the finish line.
                                         
                                        Not quite.
                                         
                                        I'm going to let the commentators talk you through this
                                         
                                        and just get a sense of how excited they are
                                         
                                        about every day's biggest bet.
                                         
                                        And here comes that moment, Charlotte.
                                         
                                        Oh, I love it.
                                         
    
                                        When we're all waiting, aren't we, to see what colour the Queen will be wearing.
                                         
                                        Look at her as ever.
                                         
                                        She's looking glorious.
                                         
                                        She looks wonderful, and I can reveal.
                                         
                                        Her Majesty is wearing an Angela Kelly O'Baird, and hat.
                                         
                                        The Colt is in cornflow of blue, and it's made of double crepe material.
                                         
                                        So people drop a fuck ton of money on what colour the Queen is going to wear at the races.
                                         
                                        Every day, they bet.
                                         
    
                                        She wears something different.
                                         
                                        Really?
                                         
                                        You know?
                                         
                                        I have a sneaking suspicion.
                                         
                                        I now know why Queen Elizabeth is so rich.
                                         
                                        You reckon she gets a cut?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Well, no, I reckon she just bets on her.
                                         
    
                                        But, yeah, she bets on us.
                                         
                                        Of course she's good inside and knowledge, doesn't she?
                                         
                                        Well, I mean, I wonder if she tries to really throw them.
                                         
                                        Like, she probably gets up in the morning and, you know, puts on some really
                                         
                                        multi-coloured rainbow suit and thinks, you know, this will fuck them.
                                         
                                        No, she does.
                                         
                                        Last year, she shocked everyone
                                         
                                        because she wore two days of blue in a row,
                                         
    
                                        which is never done,
                                         
                                        and then grey.
                                         
                                        She never wears grey, so she's clearly in on it.
                                         
                                        She's mucking on them around.
                                         
                                        Is this part of sports bet?
                                         
                                        Can you bet on this on sports bed?
                                         
                                        You know, is this like a...
                                         
                                        You can.
                                         
    
                                        You absolutely can better than people do.
                                         
                                        Now, those not dining in the Royal Enclosure
                                         
                                        eat in the car park, which doesn't sound posh,
                                         
                                        but there's a competition to see
                                         
                                        who can have the fanciest picnics.
                                         
                                        They have silver service,
                                         
                                        And Labrars and butlers.
                                         
                                        I shit you not, there are butlers in the car park.
                                         
    
                                        In the car.
                                         
                                        How long do you think it takes to get a car space at Royal Ascot?
                                         
                                        It's a family thing.
                                         
                                        You get one for your family.
                                         
                                        How long do you think it takes to get a spot in that prestigious car park?
                                         
                                        It couldn't be as bad as Westfield.
                                         
                                        It is 100 years.
                                         
                                        What?
                                         
    
                                        It takes 100 years to get a car spot.
                                         
                                        A hundred years to get a car space.
                                         
                                        A hundred years to get a car space.
                                         
                                        It's actually a horse and carriage space, I think.
                                         
                                        The people who signed up.
                                         
                                        for it actually. You go, what? It's a car space. I signed up for a horse space. Well,
                                         
                                        having cars, that's true. Haven't cars only been around roughly that long. Like,
                                         
                                        when the first car rolled off the production line, somebody booked a space and it's only ready
                                         
    
                                        now. Just in time for the pandemic as well. I can't even go. That's right. Well,
                                         
                                        my car in front of my webcam. But look, along with the dressing up and the guessing what
                                         
                                        what color hat, Her Majesty wears, the real event, the most exciting event is this.
                                         
                                        Alcohol can certainly raise tensions.
                                         
                                        A student, Megan Agnew, found out,
                                         
                                        working behind the bar at Royal Ascot last year.
                                         
                                        So there were people falling in the road,
                                         
                                        people half naked, vomiting, fights,
                                         
    
                                        as you'd expect from a whole day of drinking.
                                         
                                        So it's exactly like our Melbourne Cup in many ways.
                                         
                                        You can bring in a bottle of champagne per person
                                         
                                        below the Royal Inclusion.
                                         
                                        And how many bottles of champagne do you think
                                         
                                        they consume during the course of Royal Ascot.
                                         
                                        How many bottles of shampers go down over the five days?
                                         
                                        Well, that's a trick question, isn't it?
                                         
    
                                        Because they just fill all the champagne bottles with gin
                                         
                                        and they just drink straight gin.
                                         
                                        That might be one.
                                         
                                        I'm going to guess, five days of a big, big racing event.
                                         
                                        I'm going to guess it's say a million bottles of champagne.
                                         
                                        If Prince Harry's there, three million.
                                         
                                        56,000 bottles of champagne, 44,000 wine bottles,
                                         
                                        21,000 jugs of PIMs, sorry, 21,000 jugs of PIMs, and 60,000 finger sandwiches.
                                         
    
                                        And how many 4x slabs?
                                         
                                        I don't think they're already.

                                        Dishing it out in spade. You'll be glad to know. Thank God for this pandemic because we get to see so many celebrity isolation videos. This is my favorite part of the program. Are you ready, Dom and Charles? Let's play the game. It's called Isolibriety.
                                         
    
                                        Okay, now, you know, we've had a few famous actors on the show. Here's another one. Now, you know, they like to wax a bit lyrical. Some of these actors. They get a bit poetic. Some of them in the past. We had Patrick Stewart.
                                         
                                        I think it was, wasn't it, doing some Shakespeare?
                                         
                                        I don't know if you remember that.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Can I ask, Andrew?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Why do they keep doing it?
                                         
                                        Like, every time a celebrity releases a video,
                                         
    
                                        they're basically shamed out of existence.
                                         
                                        Well, they're celebrities, child.
                                         
                                        I mean, you understand.
                                         
                                        You're a celebrity.
                                         
                                        I'm a celebrity.
                                         
                                        I mean, we know what it's like.
                                         
                                        You've got to continue to be relevant.
                                         
                                        That's why we're making Australia's 68th most popular podcast right now,
                                         
    
                                        because we need to be heard.
                                         
                                        I'm surprised that if you haven't released more inspirational Instagram.
                                         
                                        posts, I've got to say. I mean, there's been no bath poetry. I'm just scared of getting into
                                         
                                        this segment. I don't want to do that. All right. Well, speaking of which, let's get in.
                                         
                                        Now, this is a beloved Australian actor, and he starred in several hit Australian TV shows.
                                         
                                        I'm sure you'd know him. And in lockdown, he has been writing and performing his very own poems
                                         
                                        as a treat for us all. Now, let's have a listen to my favourite one. What do you make of the opening
                                         
                                        line. A little poem about being together. Let me touch your finger, love. Aromatic. Romantic,
                                         
    
                                        Dommy, yes. Well, tell me, Dommy. I mean, why do you think this actor wants to touch his girlfriend's
                                         
                                        finger so badly? Well, I'm thinking to pull it so she can fart. Well, maybe. Maybe he's got a
                                         
                                        bloated girlfriend. I mean, it's isolation. She might be eating differently. I think we need to
                                         
                                        guess who the actor is. So let's hear the rest of the poem, which will answer.
                                         
                                        the mystery of the finger question and let you guess who the actor is let's hear it hold me in your

                                        can be just
                                         
                                        we. I mean, when
                                         
                                        I think Australians,
                                         
                                        or at least people who live here who write shit poetry,
                                         
                                        celebrities, I think Russell Crow, but that doesn't sound like
                                         
                                        Rusty. No, that wasn't Russell Crow.
                                         
    
                                        I reckon I know who he is.
                                         
                                        Yeah. I reckon it's Steve
                                         
                                        Bisley. That's not a bad guess, but it's not a
                                         
                                        correct guess.
                                         
                                        Incorrect. Donnie, do you want to have a shot?
                                         
                                        Australian actor known for several hit shows here.
                                         
                                        Oh, God.
                                         
                                        I mean, I...
                                         
    
                                        Drama series.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I'm sort of thinking like a sort of Jack Thompson type person, but I'm not sure.
                                         
                                        What about Colin Friel's?
                                         
                                        Is it Colin Friel?
                                         
                                        I'll give you a hint.
                                         
                                        It's exactly the same name as one of our prime ministers, but it's not Scott Morrison.
                                         
                                        Oh, right.
                                         
                                        Oh, John Howard.
                                         
    
                                        John Howard.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        John Howard.
                                         
                                        Poor man, what it's done to his head being called John Howard all these years.
                                         
                                        You know what I've heard about John Howard?
                                         
                                        He's into finger-touching.
                                         
                                        That's disgusting.
                                         
                                        I never know where he's going to put his prickly tree next.
                                         
    
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Next, I Celebrity.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Now, this person you'll be glad to know is a supermodel.
                                         
                                        Best known, like all models, for appearing in Sports Illustrated.
                                         
                                        Now, seems she's being very careful about COVID, this model,
                                         
                                        so much so that she got tested.
                                         
                                        And like any good celebrity, she posted a video of the test.
                                         
    
                                        Now, have either of you guys had,
                                         
                                        I think, Charles, you mentioned somebody and your family's had the test, and it was horrible, right?
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        Both my wife had the test, and she described it as no sex, but not as good.
                                         
                                        And then my son, my little nine-year-old son, poor thing, had to have the test.
                                         
                                        And he said it was like having his throat cut out.
                                         
                                        Oh, I've had it.
                                         
                                        It feels a lot like the actor John Howard ramming his finger down the back of your nose.
                                         
    
                                        So it's good in some ways.
                                         
                                        Is it like a deep pick?
                                         
                                        But it goes so far beyond just a pick.
                                         
                                        There's a whole lot back, goes all the way back.
                                         
                                        And it's kind of like a giant full body, like full head sneeze.
                                         
                                        Oh, I was like, you know that sneeze feeling, but for a very long time.
                                         
                                        Well, look, you know, you guys, I think you guys are all a bit woozy.
                                         
                                        Because let's just have a listen to how this model reacts to a doctor shoving a COVID nasal swab up her nose.
                                         
    
                                        One, two, three.
                                         
                                        One more side.
                                         
                                        It's not bad at all.
                                         
                                        Oh, okay.
                                         
                                        Really?
                                         
                                        I like hearing that.
                                         
                                        It's like a weird tickle.
                                         
                                        I've never had a picture.
                                         
    
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        I mean, it was a bit of truncated clip,
                                         
                                        but that's what she posted on her Twitter.
                                         
                                        So, you know, all this winging are here.
                                         
                                        Well, if you're a supermodel, Andrew,
                                         
                                        if you're a supermodel, you constantly shove things up your nose.
                                         
                                        Like, your nose is just constantly powder, a small,
                                         
                                        babies, everything goes up in the nostrils. It's probably been widened a bit by all those
                                         
    
                                        all those powders, isn't it? I mean, clearly this supermodel is into no sex,
                                         
                                        but that's clearly what's going on. Well, can you identify who this nose sex enjoying
                                         
                                        supermodel is, Charles? Who is it?
                                         
                                        I don't know. No? I don't think I can name a single supermodel.
                                         
                                        Is it like, unless it's like Cindy Crawford or someone who's now about 80s-70 years of.
                                         
                                        A 90s to, yes, Elle Macpherson or.
                                         
                                        Well, look, I don't know. Maybe they're not cool supermodels.
                                         
                                        She might just be a model for all I know.
                                         
    
                                        But she's got like 3 million followers on Instagram.
                                         
                                        Is it one of the Hadidz?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        It is not one of the Hadidz.
                                         
                                        One of the Jenners?
                                         
                                        No, well, look, I think you need another clue.
                                         
                                        Don't you?
                                         
                                        Now, surely, Dommy and Charles, surely your homes are well stocked with this model's new range of homeware products.
                                         
    
                                        I mean, surely you've got them in your house.
                                         
                                        If you were a supermodel, Domy, what homeware product would you release?
                                         
                                        I mean, I'd obviously want to release some kind of, you know, vaginal quartz egg,
                                         
                                        but I'd be very sad that Gwyneth got there first.
                                         
                                        Charles?
                                         
                                        Well, no, clearly you should have grills, like a sort of grill,
                                         
                                        because then your slogan can be smoking, you know, like,
                                         
                                        because you're smoking hot and everything.
                                         
    
                                        You know, no?
                                         
                                        Oh, God.
                                         
                                        Like George Foreman.
                                         
                                        You know, like, yeah, like a George Foreman grill, but done by celebrities.
                                         
                                        Smokin.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah, that would appeal to people who are like 17.
                                         
                                        years old and think that the smoke and English is a term for a hot person nowadays.
                                         
                                        My terrible quartz idea was better than that.
                                         
    
                                        All right.
                                         
                                        Well, look, why don't we look at one more, one more video?
                                         
                                        Now, this is a real, this is an Instagram winner, this one.
                                         
                                        Charles, I mean, if you were a supermodel, Charles, and I'd say you're a long way off.
                                         
                                        But if you were, and if you wanted to rack up some followers on your Insta, what should
                                         
                                        you do?
                                         
                                        Well, no, there's an obvious thing is you just release a.
                                         
                                        cleavage video, like...
                                         
    
                                        Well, you could do that.
                                         
                                        You're not so far off.
                                         
                                        That's what I do.
                                         
                                        I put out little cleavage shots.
                                         
                                        Fantastic.
                                         
                                        A little, your little...
                                         
                                        They're very alluring.
                                         
                                        And I've got dozens of followers, so, you know...
                                         
    
                                        All tuning in for your ginger valley.
                                         
                                        Fantastic.
                                         
                                        Dommy, any tips for...
                                         
                                        Well, I had norgs stuff of my list, but the other thing they like is bullshit platitudes.
                                         
                                        So I think both together would be the way to go.
                                         
                                        bumper sticker.
                                         
                                        Mm, the bumper sticker.
                                         
                                        Or you could do what this model has done, which is give us a look in your sock drawer.
                                         
    
                                        I see this every day in my hair drawer, and I just think it's so funny.
                                         
                                        I think John and I were in London, or...
                                         
                                        But Alana and Christine got us, like, a sexy time kit, and it had, like, sexy dice in it,
                                         
                                        and nipple pasties and cock rings.
                                         
                                        And I just think it's so funny every morning
                                         
                                        when I go to reach my rubber bands.
                                         
                                        I see this cock ring.
                                         
                                        It's not a rubber band.
                                         
    
                                        Stop putting it in there.

                                        Yeah, nobody wants to see that draw.
                                         
                                        Or maybe they do.
                                         
                                        She's got 3 million followers,
                                         
                                        people who want to see this thing.
                                         
                                        My question is, what is a nipple pasty?
                                         
                                        Oh, aren't that those things
                                         
    
                                        that old school strippers?
                                         
                                        used to wear the little tassels.
                                         
                                        So it's not like a cornish pasty.
                                         
                                        It could be.
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        No, nibble pasties are the things you put out, like band-aids.
                                         
                                        You put them over your nipples.
                                         
                                        So then if you're going out in a sort of fairly revealing top,
                                         
    
                                        your nipples don't just burst through the fabric.
                                         
                                        It's burlesque.
                                         
                                        I've got someone now, actually.
                                         
                                        They're jingle them for it.
                                         
                                        Oh, that's why I can't see your nips.
                                         
                                        Yeah, okay.
                                         
                                        Well, I'm glad you guys know so much about it.
                                         
                                        All right, well, I'm getting the sense that you have no idea who this model is.
                                         
    
                                        No, and even when you reveal it, we'll go, oh, really?
                                         
                                        We've never heard of it.
                                         
                                        There's a miscalculation here, actually.
                                         
                                        Let's try you.
                                         
                                        Have you ever heard of a massively popular model?
                                         
                                        And I've got to admit, I'd never heard of her either before I've researched this, named Chrissy Teigen.
                                         
                                        Oh, yes, she's married to John Legend.
                                         
                                        Ah, yes.
                                         
    
                                        Well done, Dommy.
                                         
                                        I think Dommy's the winner.
                                         
                                        Dommy's the winner.
                                         
                                        She's great.
                                         
                                        I love how you define her.
                                         
                                        by her relationship to a man, Don.
                                         
                                        No, no, it's because she and John Legend
                                         
                                        get into Twitter disputes with Donald Trump.
                                         
    
                                        It's great fun.
                                         
                                        There you go.
                                         
                                        Okay, well, it is Chrissy Teigen.
                                         
                                        And, of course, whenever Chrissy Teigen pulls out
                                         
                                        one of the naughty objects from her drawer, Domney,
                                         
                                        speaking of her husband,
                                         
                                        her husband, John Legend,
                                         
                                        always kicks things off with this classic pickup line.
                                         
    
                                        Let me touch your finger, love.
                                         
                                        Legend.
                                         
                                        The Chaser Report number 68.
                                         
                                        This week's Chaser Report is sponsored by The Chaser Report.
                                         
                                        Still the 68th.
                                         
                                        Hey, guys, you know how when you're playing Monopoly,
                                         
                                        the best card to get is the bank carrier in your favour card
                                         
                                        where you get like 200 bucks?
                                         
    
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        Never happens.
                                         
                                        No, it never happens in real life.
                                         
                                        Or so I thought.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        You sort of think, because nowadays, you know, banks are all digital.
                                         
                                        There's no such thing as a bank error anymore.
                                         
                                        And they're not going to give you the money anyway.
                                         
    
                                        But yesterday, I received this, is honestly true, letter from BankQuest, saying,
                                         
                                        following a recent review of your previously held BankQuest Breeze Platinum Mastercard,
                                         
                                        blah, blah, blah, blah.
                                         
                                        It appears that when your account was transferred to a BankQuest more platinum master card,
                                         
                                        an incorrect interest base was applied to your remaining balance.
                                         
                                        As such, please find.
                                         
                                        an attached check for $143.30.
                                         
                                        No, this doesn't happen.
                                         
    
                                        This does not happen.
                                         
                                        I had a bank error in my favour.
                                         
                                        What?
                                         
                                        I know, I know.
                                         
                                        It's amazing, right?
                                         
                                        You haven't come second in a beauty contest this week as well.
                                         
                                        Actually, I did.
                                         
                                        So I went to the bank yesterday, like, because I don't actually bank with bankruptcy
                                         
    
                                        because I don't actually bank with bank with the commerce bank, and had to, like, tear off
                                         
                                        the check.
                                         
                                        It was like a physical check and give it to them.
                                         
                                        I had banked the money.
                                         
                                        Did you remember where your branch was?
                                         
                                        I couldn't tell you whether the new branch work.
                                         
                                        I think they're all mostly close.
                                         
                                        No, I used one of those, you know, trendy ATMs that you can use for money laundering.
                                         
    
                                        It's still a machine.
                                         
                                        It's not all digital.
                                         
                                        But anyway, it seems like a very unlikely thing to happen.
                                         
                                        Do you know what the most unlikely thing about this whole story is, though?
                                         
                                        Is that I have never had a Bainquest Breeze, Platinum Masterguard.
                                         
                                        Nor have I had a Bainquest more Platinum Mastercard.
                                         
                                        I have never had a Banquist credit card of any type
                                         
                                        I would love to have been on the fly on the wall for that review
                                         
    
                                        This is a pretty major bank error in your favour
                                         
                                        Like this is they've thought you
                                         
                                        Which means you can't ask my major question
                                         
                                        Which is what's the difference between a Pekwest Platinum MasterCard
                                         
                                        And a bankwest more platinum master card
                                         
                                        How is that even a sting?
                                         
                                        It's obvious
                                         
                                        One of them's got more platinum than the other
                                         
    
                                        But also doesn't it suggest
                                         
                                        the platinum one that I originally
                                         
                                        was sold, which I obviously didn't have,
                                         
                                        you know, was not very platinum.
                                         
                                        You know, if they've been marketed one called more platinum.
                                         
                                        Yeah, they dutted you with a not very platinum, platinum master card.
                                         
                                        I have been the recipient, not of a bank error in my favour,
                                         
                                        but it's a bank era era because it's an error about their own bank era.
                                         
    
                                        Now, Charles, sometimes in the news,
                                         
                                        sometimes in the news there are stories about people who have like $6 million
                                         
                                        dollars accidentally credited to their account.
                                         
                                        And the common theme of all of those stories is that they start spending the money
                                         
                                        hand over fist and then have to pay it all back.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        So are you good for $143 to pay back Bank West?
                                         
                                        No, I've spent it all because Fortnite came out yesterday and the kids insisted on
                                         
    
                                        buying all the V buck.
                                         
                                        So I've blown the whole $143 already on V bucks.
                                         
                                        I'm penniless.
                                         
                                        Hang on.
                                         
                                        What is a V buck?
                                         
                                        and is it more or less plausible
                                         
                                        that a bank west
                                         
                                        more platinum master card?
                                         
    
                                        No, V-BACs, you know, V-BACs,
                                         
                                        it's the way,
                                         
                                        I'm sure most of the global economy
                                         
                                        is now V-Bucks
                                         
                                        because everyone's been playing
                                         
                                        Fortnite in lockdown
                                         
                                        is they literally,
                                         
                                        like I think there's a trillion people
                                         
    
                                        who play each afternoon,
                                         
                                        Fortnite,
                                         
                                        and they all have to buy V-Bucks
                                         
                                        if they want, you know,
                                         
                                        fancy blings and emotes and stuff like that.
                                         
                                        Oh, well, no wonder you've spent all the money on.
                                         
                                        That sounds very sensible.
                                         
                                        Absolutely.
                                         
    
                                        Well, don't worry,
                                         
                                        Charles, because I've got an idea, if you find that the bank comes knocking at your door
                                         
                                        and you can't pay that money back, all you need to do is get a Bankwest more platinum
                                         
                                        credit card.
                                         
                                        Exactly.
                                         
                                        And then what you need to do is hold out for a led that said, we've made a terrible mistake
                                         
                                        in your upgrade to a Bankwest more, more, even more platinum master card.
                                         
                                        Is your favorite number 68?
                                         
    
                                        Get in line.
                                         
                                        We're number 68, the Chater Report.
                                         
                                        Well, that's it for this week and...
                                         
                                        Oh, wait a minute.
                                         
                                        There's some breaking news from Rebecca Day and Emuno.
                                         
                                        Yes, breaking news just in that there is no new news to report.
                                         
                                        We'll keep you up to date with all the developments in this breaking story throughout the day.
                                         
                                        Back to you, Charles.
                                         
    
                                        That was worth it.
                                         
                                        Anyway, that's the end of the show.

                                        that I think is going to do really well
                                         
                                        in next month's podcast rankings.
                                         
                                        Hi, I'm a guy,
                                         
                                        and I'd like to tell you about my new podcast,
                                         
                                        podcast by a guy who doesn't have a proper microphone
                                         
    
                                        in my podcast I discuss lots of things
                                         
                                        most of which you won't actually be able to hear properly
                                         
                                        including accidentally putting your finger over the microphone
                                         
                                        plus do you have your mouth too close to the microphone
                                         
                                        also bad editing techniques
                                         
                                        I discuss when is the right time to cut the line
                                         
                                        and when is the right
                                         
                                        that's the podcast by a guy who doesn't have a proper microphone podcast
