The Cryptid Factor - 84: #84 The Backpack Issue

Episode Date: July 14, 2023

And we’re back! It’s been a long time since Mothers day, but it’s finally out! In here you’ll get some camouflage chaos, some screaming plants, and a tiny crypto-museum that gets huge ‘shribe-reveal’! We also got some box creature with too many eyes, a squatch safe zone, a giant killer tadpole and AI trying to kill the patty film buzz. Oh, and our old mate ‘Old Bond’ tries to make an expensive comeback… bless!

The printed factor with Ristabi and Dan Shriver. Just when your thought life was on the brink of tipping over into the electronic AI nightmare that fools can only imagine which extinguishes humanity in all its heart beating normality. Out of the heavens, three lights of pure guilt-free shilliness appear like stars being pulled in by a starving energy beast called Hope. That's right. We are back. When I say we, I mean the cryptid factor team brought to you by the exclusively free Rodney's exterior Wi-Fi. I'm old Bond. We're back!

Yay! Yay! Can you just talk us through that? That was, well that was old Bond. He's been wanting to get on the show. He's been on for so long. I think the last time he was on might have been Dan's first episode actually. Wow. Old Bond. Yeah. Welcome back, old Bond. We've missed you.

We've missed you, old Bond. I mean, it's been a while. You've been up to it. Well, I died, but I've since come back because... Oh, that's shit! It's better for money when you come back. You get more money to come back. Nothing's better than a comeback. Don't we know it? We've come back a few times. Financial. I know that you're back. What's your plans to how you're going to spend on your money? Well, I haven't done I haven't I mean this is the first time I've been back. How much is your cost? I haven't told him how much he's getting for this appearance. You need a new agent mate.

Yeah. They put you in the wrong gear. What do you mean? How much? Well, I was going to go a lot. Yes, well, depending on how you did with that, wasn't too bad. That didn't show peace there.

But we'll just have to see how we go throughout the episode. If you're going to do any other funny bits, alright? Yeah, sure. I'll promise you'll wait my turn and come in when it's applicable. It's good. And you might want to start thinking about your voice because it's weird, your accents slipping. Yeah.

You haven't been in a while. You've let it slip whilst you've been dead. Yeah. You're let it slip whilst you've been dead. Yeah, you're supposed to be Scottish. No, I know. Oh God. Sorry guys. No, hey, well, good day.

How long has it been since we lost Connery? Does anyone know off the top of the head? Have we hit a year? Well, actual, actual Connery? Yeah, actual Connery. Oh God, at least 10 years. No, he died. Maybe his career died 10 years ago. You know what? This is actually the best question you could ever ask, and that's why I brought into this, because the way the world is right now with the

Mandela effect, and people are talking about this so much online right now with AI and all this kind of stuff and we're living in a... What is it? Buttons? The Matrix. Yeah, no. Yes, well that's the movie. Help me. Uh, live in Simmanunilation. Yes, a Simmanunilation. Simulation. Simulation.

People are noticing more and more glitches and one of the glitches that people are noticing more are false memories. And time disappearing. And for one of those, one of the most easiest ones to think of is how fast, let's say the pandemic, which is now officially, not officially over, but certainly dropped down from an emergency to now being, you know, let's be honest, we've moved on. It's been three and a half years. But my point was, how fast time has been since 2020, we've just, we've had three years. Yeah. But why did it go so slow just then, during your explanations? Ah! Ha ha ha ha!

Who do you think's been fighting time? Me? Yes. That's why I'm taking so long to get to my point every time anyone speaks to me because that's the only way I can get through to people. If people talk normally, it's gone. People don't understand it.

If it's you know people are so living in a TikTok world. That's so true. I know this from buttons with his very slow behavior. I've been trying to teach the world ever since before TikTok was invented to speak slowly. Yeah. And think about what actually don't think about what you're saying and look slowly. Yeah. And think about what actually don't think about what you're saying and it looks slower. Yeah. Okay, well put in your bats. When do you think Sean Connery died? I found the answer. What year did he die? Okay. Well, I'll see. This is it because the last three years just disappeared. It felt like it was yesterday. But when we were living in them, it felt like it was going forever. So this is another dichotomy.

I would say 2021. Okay. Middle of 2021. Really? Yeah. No. See, for me, and I'm obviously a big bond fan, and I always think of, I may be thinking of Sir Roger Moore, who I know died before Sean.

So you're saying 2021? Yeah, I know. No, it's a yeah. What are you going for, is? I know Terry Jones died in 2020. You know the one good thing about doing this little test is that it gives very little chance for old Connery to come back and be funny,

and then we don't have to pay for it. So if we just keep talking about trying to guess when old people died, we won't have to pay for it. So, he just keep talking about trying to guess when old people died, we won't have to pay old Sean anything. But look, this guy that I've hired here, he's old Bond, he's not Sean Connery. He's an impersonator. Old finger. Yes.

Old finger. Yes. Actually, can I have that? I like that. Can I change my name to old finger? I think it's giving me a little bit more prestige. Okay, fine. Okay, fine old finger. Okay. Oh, if you go. Yeah, Shankar, I'll be back later in the show. Oh, that's the best thing that's happened to him. He's so creepy. You think of

the Santa statue on top of the farmers at Christmas. He's an old man, beckoning you into his van! He has a plan! Oh, we have to chase track! Quick, get rid of all the things! Move about! I think this is gonna log in a year! What's your year? Oh, okay.

When did Connery get? I'm gonna log in 2018. 2018. Oh! Oh, that far back! Allnery get? I'm gonna log in 2018. 2018. Oh, that far back. All right, here are the answers. What price do we get? Shribes, but... Well, we can start a prize system, I guess.

We can ask for... Help out. I've got an idea. We win very high praise. No, no. It's not even in the show. That was before the show. And the runner-up gets the show. It was before the show. And the runner up gets the pants.

All right, Roger Moore died 2017. So he don't know. Right, that's what I'm thinking of. Shaw and Connery died Halloween 2020. Oh, that's it. Because it's right, it was the first year of the pandemic. Yeah. That year is just, and everyone's mind just was like, it's, I call that year the sinkhole. We all kind of fell into it. It's sick. Oh, yeah. We have no idea what happened. We were just in lockdown. We were just,

you know, dispersed to different parts of the world, we were in the state of flux, where we thought we were all gonna die, it was panic, and so time really still. So any one that died at that point, in a celebrity, you'd be going, oh yeah, that's great. And you probably, we just go out of your mind

almost immediately, because you realize you're gonna go and buy some toilet paper and figure out whether your loved ones are. Did I love to love anybody actually ever ran out of toilet paper? Or whether or not that was a mess of heaven by the toilet paper industry to go, there's our chance guys, let's create serious demand.

I do remember, there was a point where it was hard getting toilet paper in London. Oh really? Oh yeah, and I found one of those giant multipaxes, you know, the ones that are like almost like a wall. I walked home with it in my arms through our local area, and I remember people looking at me with that sort of, you know, that mentality of, we're going to kill him for this. Do you really need a of that? Yeah, you greedy bastard. They're better be going to an old people's home.

Sure. He wears a zombie flick. Definitely. Isn't it crazy that, you know, there's a massive global emergency and the one thing that we panic the most about is the ability to wipe our own ass. It's so weird. Worse came to worst, you could go outside and get the garden hose and hose yourself off.

Yeah. I mean, it wouldn't be such a great thing for the neighbours to see that. But there are other options. Yeah. How do we end up here talking about toilet paper shortages? What the fuck? How does this work again? Yeah. I'm going to show Wiggly World We In You. Crazy, freaky watch out.

Well, it's been a while since we've been on the year. So I have compiled some stories going right back to February. Wow. Of course, none of them were used, because we never actually got on the air until now. And of course, sod's law, you get online, you look up what's the latest, and there's nothing there. So I'm going back. So February's not that long, you're going to go over. Sure. Okay. Well, I'm actually not going that far back. I'm just saying I do have stories from that time.

But I have a interesting headline here. Scientists, engineer, human cells to have the camouflage ability of squids. What? Oh, hang on, what? Hang on. Read that headline again. Okay. I'd like to take that all in Scientist engineer

Scientists engineer human cells to have the camouflage ability of squids. Oh My god, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's amazing This is imagine that oh jeepers. Okay. All right. I got a headline Okay, brand new crypto zoology museum opens Let's go imagine that. Oh, jeepers. Okay. I got a headline. Okay. Brand new Crypto Zoology Museum opens. Dispined the fact that the only thing they own is a backpack. So. Oh my God.

A backpack. A backpack. Please tell me the backpack is Percy Fossets That's true if you've got one backpack That would be the one that would get you to the museum. That's oh my god That's okay, let's go to that museum. Where is a museum? Well, he's padding I can tell he's padding We're we're we're is're that museum mate just just off chance but more details there as I'm searching here. I actually

never forget my first backpack. Of course I was five years old, ready to start school. Tt-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tt-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t when stretched. Yeah, that's terrifying. I've got a little video to play on it too. Okay, looking forward to those screaming plants, but in the meantime, an article from Futurism.com, which caught my attention. Obviously, I'm into camouflage being an ex-military man. What are you into? I'm into camouflage. It's kind of pastime, little hobby. Don't wanna see some of my camouflage. I've got a, I over the years. The distorted pattern material. I've got my chemo gear on. Oh, where are you mate? I can't see you. Yes, yes, yes. No shit Sherlock. What about the guy that invented distorted pattern material? You think he hasn't heard that? I've made this new material that's gonna hide the soldiers.

Here it is. We're gonna put it on near clothing. I can't see it. Where is it? Who's it? I've got it on now. I'm wearing the new jacket. Where are you, mate? Oh, come on.

Are you dead? Are you a ghost? No, where are you? Where are you? That would have been the first time. That's a time travel destination moment, going to the first person to ever make a camouflage joke. That's gotta be higher than list. Yeah, now I may be wrong,

we have to do some fact checking, but I think it goes back to World War II. I think the Germans came up with the distorted pattern material for their paratroopers, and I think they did some right. Some alpine distorted, yeah. But yeah, that joke must have definitely gone down. And it's great to see it still living.

Never forget. Yeah, exactly. A lot of these articles now, one of the best things about modern technology when reading articles is that they offer you the listen to this article, which is great for people who can't be bothered reading. And human cells, to have the camouflage ability of squids. Yeah. Cool! Squids and octopuses are some of the most mesmerizing creatures of our oceans, endowed

with a unique ability to fluidly change the color and transparency. I'm already bored with your accent. I'm sorry. Wait, you can't speed it up. We haven't got time to listen to this whole thing. Hang on. That's because squid skin cells can't be cultured in a lab, making them almost impossible

to study. But now, some intrepid researchers have come up with a clever workaround, replicating squid's camouflaged ability in human cells instead. We had this crazy idea to see whether we could capture some aspect of the ability of squid skin tissues to change transparency within human cell cultures. Settle Longor Detski, who presented his team's findings at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in a press release. Cell shading, the so-called tunable transparency of cephalopods functions through a combination

of pigment-based coloration, which can change how much light is absorbed. So I think it kind of sums it up. Your eyes, Lyn, looked very much like a chameleon's eyes. Well, that brings me to my other fascination with camouflage. My favorite lizard when I was a kid was always the chameleon and their ability to, I just loved their ability to camouflage themselves into the surroundings. And that obviously squids can do that as well, octopus. So I'm actually surprised that it's taken scientists this long

to work out how they can do that with our own skin, because yes, there'd be some, I mean, obviously some military advantages to camouflaging themselves. But then that all have to be nude. Why are we naked? Right, because you've got this new gene now I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I Oh my God, I'm like a brown fence. That's right, now see what you next to your brown fence. That's it. So you are camouflaged the same as the fence. Now, Michelle, you're in that bed of flowers there. Have a look at yourself. Oh God, I'm more flurry.

Yes, that's right. So you're blending into those flowers. Oh my God, can I have some clothes? Yeah, in a minute. Now, Jack. Yeah. Now, now now this is I know I've got a weird one for you. You're in a massive jar of jelly beans. Yeah. Now can you stop eating them by the way. I'm trying for what I was doing. Have a look at your hands. Oh my hands are jelly beds. Yes, you're right. Don't eat them.

Don't eat your hair. Oh my god. Why don't I choose him for the jelly bean idea? Anyway, guys, whatever you stand in or next to, you can become. All right. Oh my god, who's that? Oh, is this right next to you, sir? Oh my god, you look just like me

Fuck sake get away move away. Oh, no, hey guys, who's the real him? Who's your real commander? I am just get away from me All right, so that was a little sketch Like great advancement on the on the chameleon character. That's the future. camouflage material. You're not going to get any more recent than that. That's just hot off the press. I couldn't even see that gag.

It was so hard to see. Oh, well one day somebody's gonna go no there was there was deeply a gag any questions on this article i go on what was it you canceled it you played us three seconds of it go forward in the accent it was so AI, wasn't it? She was a little AI.

So what is the story? Well, but... So basically, this team had this crazy idea to see whether we could capture some aspect of the ability of squid skin tissues to change transparency within human cell cultures. Says this chap, Aelon Gorodetski, who presented his team's findings at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in a press release. The so-called turnable transparency of cephalopods functions through a combination of pigment-based correlation, which can change how much light is absorbed

and structural coloration, which affects how the light is scattered through micro and nanoscopic structures. So you get the idea, it's very scientific, obviously, the idea of what happens to the cells for them to be able to manipulate and change. And it's due to the amount of light that's coming through. And I mean, it's very, very technical. So the research focuses on lucophores, skin cells that facilitate structural coloration through proteins called reflectance. These reflectance typically clump together, forming nanoparticles that can bounce back

light that appears white. So you get the justice, very scientific. At the end of the day, I wouldn't be surprised whether this kind of thing is going to happen in the future. The ability with humans, humans seem to be so bored with themselves. That's why some humans have already gone to the point of it. Obviously tattooing is the beginning of, like, let's change ourselves. And then now tattooing is just so common place that no one even looks twice at someone who's completely their whole body's tattooed, you know you'd go, oh hey that must have hurt and

that's about it and you might do a camouflage joke or something but then you'd move on. Some people have like added horns to their heads and you heads and another very common one is just dying your hair weirdly. A lot of the fans are doing that. That's very normal. Back in the day, memoir kids. Yeah, dying your hair was huge and having multicolored hair is completely accepted now. It's even accepted at schools now.

So like at some, not all schools, but some schools here, you can, you're allowed to go, you can have died here. But back in our day, you couldn't, you wouldn't get away with that. You wouldn't get away with like boys wouldn't be able to turn up with their nails painted or anything like that. So now there's this, now it's just absolutely normal. I'm out watching my son's football and there's this dude's there and you look down and they've got bare feet

and half their toes are painted and you lock up and it's just some dude chugging back a beer. And I often think, oh yeah. What's happened there mate? Did you do it or do that? Or they go, oh I like it but the old toe paint. But. But.

I think that's a real event that happened in L.A.? Yeah. That's brilliant. And look, if I could be bothered, I would do it as well. I can see the fun of doing that, but it's also like, who can be bothered just to... Paint your nails. Paint, well, especially the toenails. I mean, you know what, thinking about it, I do have time.

I should be bloody doing it. You should be doing it. I'm not talking about it. I'm not talking about it. You think I love the thought of it? Is that you're saying like in a school setting where maybe you've died you're here and you've sent to the principal's office because the school doesn't allow that.

I mean, you have to go see the principal and principals. Like, no, you're naughty, you're not supposed to die. You're here as you're a disgrace. In the future, kids turning up with DNA change to camouflage, me turning up to the principal's office, they're like, you've got camouflage. No, don't turn into a stapler. No, I can still, I can still see you. I'm trying to tell you off here.

No, I can, look, you buddy. Oh, hey, hey, I can see the whiteboard now, I can, look, you buddy. Oh, hey, hey, so I can see you in the whiteboard now, right? Yeah, you're the whiteboard, are you the curtains? Once you, is that, you'll make the curtains and you the whiteboard, I can see you both there. One of you's, is that door open or you the door? One of you's gone, haven't you? Are you the door, is that door gone?

Wait, I'm a who am I talking to? Someone else comes in. So you've just been talking to the curtains. Because the preacher's the door he holds home. I know what you're doing here, mate. The kids are sitting outside waiting to come in. Yeah. Oh, come.

It's going to be hard being a principal in the future. It's going to be real hard. Yeah. Is anyone in this classroom? Oh, my goodness. No, I'm looking at some chairs here, but I'm sure there's more chairs than I'm supposed to be here. How many of you chairs are people? Please.

Please, put your leg up if you're a chair. Get off the chair. There's a chair on top of a chair. Oh, no, we've just stacked the chairs, sir. Right, okay, who said that? Was that a poster? You were a poster. I don't want this future. So that's what's coming, guys.

That's exciting. I can't wait, because I'm bored with dying my hair. Well, you'll be able to dye your hair instantly. You'll be able to just go, what color and shape do I want my hair? Boom, just like octopus can do. Oh, by thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can emotionally do it. Yeah. Change the texture of it. Yeah, yeah. And it will be hard, because of course, octopus only do that when they're stressed and scared, right?

They camouflage themselves or if they're hunting. So like, you'd have to try and get that under control. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there in front of your wife, or your husband, and you'll be like, are you having an affair? No, no, no, no, no, no, I can see your ears just gone red and all gone all spiky. No, no, no, no, no, it's just a... It looks very similar to Mrs. Robinson down there. The road! I thought you might be having an affair with. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

this is not a good YouTuber. Ugh, dude. I'll do my headline. Yeah, why don't you do that? Oh, do you want to do yours? I'll get mine. Mine's a very quick one. Okay, fine, you do yours first.

The headline once again, new research finds that plants cry and scream when stressed. So researchers have gone about stressing plants out by cutting them and not giving them enough water and have recorded the ultrasonic sounds that are emitted from the plants to see whether or not any sounds are emitted and they have discovered that they do, in fact, emit screams, which is kind of says a lot about how we have to take care of our plants, right? So I've got a wee little video here to play if you like. Yeah, before you play it, I'm pretty sure that when you're mowing a lawn, the fresh smell of grass, that's smelling, that's plants screaming effectively. That's a signal elsewhere that danger is here, grass is being cut.

So we smell them, we're like, ooh, that's a nice smell, but actually, it's a death cry. It's grass blood. Yeah, yeah. It's smelling grass blood. Is that for real? Because I'm looking at it my lawns right now and have to mow them today.

And now I'm gonna be feeling guilty. Immurderous thanks. Thanks, thanks a lot. Are we gonna hear the ultrasonic thing if it's ultrasonic? Well, hopefully, I haven't watched this little thing. So it's a news article, so hang on, here we go. Ah, okay. Now your house plants might be crying out for help.

If only you could hear them. Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that plants make popping sounds, undetectable to the human ear, and they get noisier if they need water or if their stems have been cut. The audio edited so it can be heard. Have a listen to this. Okay. That's... Is it hell of a scream? Hell of a scream. Can you go back and play one more recording of that tomato crying?

Because... It's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's crying because we might have to turn the volume up on that one. Oh, shall I just recreate it now? I think it was like this. That was about it. Hey, Risa, are you okay with your screaming? Have you had enough water today? No, they missed a real opportunity there to cut to like tiny baby screaming, you know. Ha! Help me!

Yeah. That would have shocked the world. Oh, butterns, it's just going, oh shit, no! Guys! I'm getting these awards! So what are they saying the screams are? They're saying the screams are signals to other plants warning of... Other plants and warning.

Yeah, but also that they think that it may actually be able to be picked up by insects, you know, for them to be able to... Maybe that at the moment they're only picking up on the scream signals, but there may be other ultrasonic signals of like, hey, I've got some pollen, UBs, do you want to come in here and have a feed on my pollen? There could be a whole language happening. The fascinating thing there is that it's cross species from plant to insects, and that it's not just smell, and it's not just color, and what have you, that it's actually in a communication

and that they're talking to each other. Which is the terrifying thing if they're being cut. That's the thing, like if they're dry, okay, that makes sense because it's obviously gone into stress, but if you cut it and it instantly screams, that's like, this kind of makes you think that they're sentient, right? I mean, they are living things. Yeah, they are living, but we are using human language there, aren't we? To sort of say they're screaming and they're crying, where in fact they're, they're knitting signals. They're popping. They're putting, yeah, yeah.

Like, that was a huge stress to say. I think saying screaming is not quite the right terminology. Wow, I got a headline, didn't it? It made us write it into the cryptid practice. I've found it's way to buttons. The fools turned up. They dragged me in, I could resist it. All right, I'll do my headline.

So this is that there's a brand new cryptosoology museum that is just open and the only item that they've launched with is a backpack. And you guys were actually quite close earlier because you said Percy Force is backpack and this is an exciting backpack that the three of us would be very interested, I imagine, to see. The backpack was bought at an auction recently

and it was the backpack that Edmund Hillary took on his expedition when looking for the Yeti. So the first expedition after Edmund Hillary went to Mount Everest was to look for a Yeti. So here's the thing, the backpack really should have gone for something like $100,000, because it's such a unique item. But it was the only explorer item that was part of an art auction. So there were prints that were going of artists and aren't even sort of like globally household names

that were going for something like 10 times the amount that this bag was eventually bought at. So the bag went for relatively cheap and the bag contained not only this beautiful Hillary Yeti bag, but it also had footage of the trip, so which can be converted, and there was a letter that was written and signed by Hillary. So it was like this amazing package and the museum is in New Zealand. So it's a New Zealand, oh! Fritzo Zoology Museum. That's open. Yeah, so yeah, it's very, very exciting. Where about to sit? Uh, buttons, where was it again? Do you, do you know, I thought you had an idea?

I actually, I did hear that it was actually quite close to here. Really? Yeah, yeah, that it's very, very close to... Oh God, it's on your property, isn't it? Here we go. What? Oh, this is a big house. What's that? What's that in there? Oh, no.

It's on now. It's because the man who bid successfully on Edmund Hillary's Yeti bag was Leon Buttigieg's Kirkback City Matter Boardship, and the museum that is open is the official cryptid factor museum. We have our first item. It's Hillary's Yeti bag. Oh, that's amazing. Wow, done. And we used a Sribon Vale to reveal it. So that was awesome. You got me.

It's been very hard to keep the secret from you. Oh my god, that is so cool. For those that don't know, we have a wonderful Patreon with the encrypted Knights, or a part of our Patreon. And they pay us a little bit of money each week. And that little bit of money has amounted up enough for us to start our Crypto Zoology Museum, and it got us this cruddy-owned pack.

Wow. Look, here's in the pack. For those that can't see, I'm holding up now a letter from Sir Edmund Hillary. Oh my God. To the person who donated the pack, this guy called Sir Bob Harvey, and the letter is basically saying that he doesn't want to work with him anymore. What?

This guy Bob Harvey was used to make TV shows with him, and he basically is saying, I don't want to work with you anymore because it's too hard making these TV shows. So he donated this thing about theirs as signatures saying, I mean they're still friends, they remain very good friends, but it's basically a rejection letter, which is kind of hilarious. And it came with a farce-kill obseridman Hilary and the backpack that he used, but also some 16mm film of them preparing for the expedition shot by a very famous New Zealand cinematographer called Roger Donaldson. That's not going to ruin it, is it? No. That's like, you know, in movies when security servers people take the film out and they do

that, it's done. We haven't just fun. Hillary's finished it. Oh no! It's so good! Just ruined our first museum piece. It's fun. Hillary's fun. No! No! It's so good! Just ruined our first museum piece. Probably priceless.

Oh, and there's a film here. Let me just pull this out. Oh, hello! Oh, they don't seem to be black. The most of it shot at my time. Camerflers. So what happened, Reese, is that I was at home just doing a bit of work on my computer and I looked on Instagram and it suddenly said cryptid factor is doing a live Instagram

and I thought, what? What is this? So I click on to it. Yeah. And it's buttons sitting at a auction for the New Zealand Labour Party where they're auctioning off like art pieces of the first thing I hear is buttons going So nobody tell dad and Greece what I'm doing here. I'm trying to I'm trying to buy Hillary's backpack But he's doing this live. He's doing it live. Just hoping we weren't gonna be watching. Yeah

No, how social media quite works. I'm still a slowly bigger You thought me because obviously I must have been working or something. I didn't have my phone on me You would have been asleep. Oh And then I saw somebody on the chance and dance here and I'm like oh Secret revealed yeah, and so yeah, and it was high intensity because buttons started the Instagram live about 40 lots too early. So, of course, we all had to wait like an hour and a half while they're just auctioning off all these other prints. Oh, God. And then eventually it gets to us and we're all debating how much is it going to go for?

And I thought minimum 100k because this is a huge piece of Hillary's life and iconic. I can't. Right. And it saw it's actually someone that turns out, Micah, who's one of the crypto nights, has compiled all my growing comments of it started with me going, don't spend our Patreon money, buddy. We're trying to sort out an American trip here. Just don't.

Come on. Spend our Patreon money buddy. We're trying to sort out an American trip here. Just don't come on And he didn't explain that it was so to begin with I'm sort of saying don't do it Don't do it and then he explains that it's Hillary's yeti backpack so we start with me going you can do this if I get to keep a strap from the bag or a zipper And then he's saying I'm gonna have to spend it all I'm going going, yes, fuck it, spend it, spend all the dosh. And then we're all debating. How easily you fold it? Yeah, so quickly, I bet it goes for 100k. That's me finding out, wait, is this the Yeti Expedition backpack? That's where it suddenly comes in.

Spend all of our money, I then say. They can have one of my kids too if that swings it. Oh my god. And then, so what happens, Reese happens Reese's they buttons is telling us that something like 5k is his top. It was something like that. And it opens the bidding at 50k. So we all think we're done. Yeah. No one bids. Oh really? So it goes down 45. No one bids goes to 30 this is me then entering 30 fucking go for it He doesn't go for it goes to 20 20 buttons Buttons fucking doing and he's not And then finally someone else bids and we don't know that it's buttons because buttons as internet is going in and out and then

It kind of collapses on us and then the next thing we hear is everyone applauding and buttons waving to everyone and he's On it. Oh my God. I can't believe this was this should have been filmed. Yeah, we're with the cameras We're with Helena with some cameras filming this content. We've got well. We've got the live stream Up on Patreon. So I'm the last one to know about you the last guy. Oh My god stream up on Patreon. So I'm the last one to know about you. You're the last guy to know. Oh my god. Yeah. But what this means is the three of us own a third of Hillary's Yeti backpack. I mean, this is, wow. We've been talking about getting his flag for years, but his backpack. The actual bag. But also what I love about this is, it's amazing for us, it's a priceless treasure, but it just goes to show how few people

give a shit about our interests, the fact that no one bids on it. You know, we think this is like absolutely priceless, and like no one else can. It's like, well, some old backpack from a, it wasn't even the one where he conquered Mount Everest, who gives a shit. No, we do, because it's the Yeti expedition.

It's way more important to us. Yeah. Ah, that's so cool. And also, I got to be involved in another Shriver reveal, which, you know, very amazing opportunities. It's like only the second or third one that I've fallen for. We've just got to be on you spin off show. The Shriver reveal.

Exactly. But if you name a show that, then clearly that's what's going to be happening on it. So people are just going to be all right. Come on, when's the reveal mate, come on. Hello and welcome to Shribers reveal tonight. It was obviously though, it was one of the most thrilling, it was like watching Apollo 13 again where you're like, come on and buy them, bring it home, get us home. And you're hoping that by the time the backpack comes up everyone's

spent their money and it's it's just gonna go to here and it's the only item where they go okay we're here for the final item before we get to it let's have three speeches on the importance of this backpack and like people came up and gave these talks to people yeah so we thought oh no we're done yeah the New Zealand minister for the environment David Pack, he got up and did a little talk about the importance of it. Then the ex-meer Bob Harvey got up and talked about his relationship with Sir Edmund Hillary and about filming with him and about the importance of the backpack and everything.

Everybody must have been sitting there going, yep, nah, still don't bite me. Still, nah, still just a backpack. Still, nah, still to some effect. And I'm going, don't, don't, don't, don't get everybody excited. Don't get on the heroine expecting everybody to be like, oh, but, oh, but. And items so dull, they had to get three speeches before anyone would have any interest in it. And even then, no one cared until one dude at the back.

Yes, this is me. I'm going Yes, I'm okay, top down. There's a funny thing is it's because I was live streaming and talking to the camera and the room was filled with all of these, you know, old dignitaries and all dressed up in suits and everything like that and there I am talking to my camera as I bid and they're people are like, what a wanker. Yeah. And I let the bid bidding go all the way. And that was the thing.

I like it was getting kind of embarrassing because I went to 20 grand and then I went all the way down to 10 grand and then somebody finally bid on it and then I bid on it at $12,000. And then that was it. It was just nobody else bid. I think the other person bit because they were just like

They're selling it embarrassed for the Hillary family. Exactly. So we got it for 12 grand. Yeah, basically. Yeah. So now we have to start thinking about what's the next item? Imagine a museum with two items in it. It'll be amazing.

It's like, Dublin at the beginning. How are we going to display it? It's exciting.. It's like doubling it up. It's just the beginning. Collection. How are we going to display it by this? Exciting. Have you got a plan for where it's going? And the... Well, I think it can be one of those traveling museums where it starts off at my place for a third of the year.

And then we move it to Reese's house by tickets to walk into Reese's house and come maybe have a drink at the tiki bar on the way through. Maybe up on the goat shed. And then it's right. And then send it over to your place. We need to, you need to build a display case for it. Yes, exactly. And with a plaque. Yeah.

Let's see it again, butsons. I've never, I haven't properly seen it since you got it. Here it is here. Just leaning up against Rodney's old pesticide shelf. Oh God, I'm so worried something's gonna happen to it. That's $12,000 mate. You can't just put it there next to the pesticide. Can you please take it in the house?

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. It's seem worse, right? We're actually gonna get into it. It's seem worse, it's seem worse.'s fine, it's seamless. We're actually going to get into it. It's seamless, it's seamless. I've just got to read a little part of the letter that we got with it as well. So this letter was sent from Sir Edmund Hillary from Catman Doe, from the Papula hospital. He was in hospital at some point in Catman Doe, and he writes to Bob to the mayor. This is the the main purpose of this letter is to say that in your film sales efforts I do not wish you to commit

me to any further films in the Hilary series without my explicit written permission. Discussion on the Ganges film produced is I'm not interested in doing any more. And he says, best of luck, you're sincerely Sir Edmund Hilley. But as it turns out, this guy, the Mayor Bob Harvey, he did the fundraising to actually get Sir Edmund Hilley over to do the Yeti expedition. And he talks about the fact that when he actually got there, he, the monks every 200 years, bringing the Yeti skull out and show off the Yeti skull. And it was coming up to this point, and Sir Edmund went over there and had the big ceremony

and brought the skull out. And he said it quite clearly straight away as soon as he saw it, he recognized it as a monkey skull where there's some yak for glued to it. So he called up and said it's a massive disaster. But the interesting thing is they still made a documentary out of it, but this is obviously in the 1960s. And it's gone missing. No, the film, the archives, go to this documentary. It's just that they can't find it anywhere. There's no copy of it anywhere. Wow. So the little bit of film

that we have is the only surviving film from that documentary, apart from that, the entire documentary is gone. And you just ruined it. I just ruined it. I'm just going to wipe in the pesticides off now. I'm pretty sure it should be fine. It'll be all right. So those listeners that don't know, obviously, Sir Edmund Hillary, Conquered Mount Everest, he's in New Zealander. Sir Edmund was basically one of our greatest,

if not the greatest living embodiment of what it means to be a kiwi, which is that determination and grit that nothing is too hard to do, nothing is too challenging if you just put your mind to it and don't give up. So he's a very important figure in our world. And in 1960, he did the return to the Himalayas, what his beloved place there, to search for the Yeti. And so at that point, you got to think back to the 60s, even the 50s, and then into the 60s. This creature was very much sought after as something that would likely exist. And as time's gone by, it's now in the folklore is more

myth than anything because nothing was found. But at that point, it was a big deal. And it didn't, you know, he came away, he came back, he came back with a footprint and what's that famous photo, where he's got the pic-ax next to it. And also the hair sample, which I think, as you say, turned out to be a goat or something. But just the symbolism of that expedition, as well, the exploration of the unknown, which is what we stand by, and it's kind of our, it's the heart and soul of the cryptid factors existence. So that signifies that back pack, which went on that expedition,

is like a holy grail piece for us. So if that's going to be the first piece of our official museum, well worth spending money on. And amazing job, you guys, especially you, obviously, but in this we're just taking the balls to do it. Yeah. It couldn't really, couldn't be anything else out there that would be more symbolic for us as a group the expert

This from backpack exact congratulations Congratulations to us all and a massive thank you to our patreon followers and yeah, actually there's extra content up There I actually when I heard about it. I went to the the house of this woman who was organizing the auction. Barbara went to her house and met up with Sir Bob Harvey, who's a legend and a great storyteller, and I interviewed him about the backpack and got a whole thing. So that's up on the Patreon account. Now it was Bob for people to watch to hear the stories, but obviously it doesn't much better job than mine. But I agree it's the one expedition that I sort of look to us. Because you think about the fact that the mindset for him to go, nobody can climb that mountain.

I'm going to go and prove them wrong. It's the same thing. He goes, people don't believe that this yeti's there. He saw footprints when he was climbing Everest the first time and that were unexplainable. So like people don't believe this exists. I'm going to go and prove them wrong. It's such a great attitude to being, and sure he didn't prove it on that one trip, but you're not, I mean, it's one trip in the Yeti's skull, might not have been what it was

purported to be. That doesn't mean there's no use. But it's also a great excuse for another adventure, isn't it? Exactly. And we should go and remake the documentary that is lost. Well, the search for that missing documentary, that sounds like a great documentary, and it's... Wow, this is a good staffer to find little bits of the footage.

Wow, that's cool, man. That hit me for a sec, that's a real mind-blowing cryptid factor moment. Woohoo! I just can't wait to get you guys to touch it! How does it smell? It smells great. It smells like adventure. Wow. Have you checked all the pockets as well? Are there any like polo mints that he left in there?

Anything like that? No, unfortunately there's none of that. But do you know the guy who actually filmed that documentary? He's a New Zealander called Roger Donaldson. He's made some incredible films. He went on to become a director himself. You know one of the films that he made was Cocktail. Cocktail? Is it Cocktail? How did you know? That's amazing.

He did Cocktail. He did the world's fastest Indian. Wow. Yes. He did Dante's amazing. He did cocktail, he did the world's fastest Indian. Wow. Yes. He did Dante's peak. Oh, wow. Yeah. But his first thing was Hillary's, yes, he had his position. Yeah, he shot it.

That's amazing. He also did the bounty. The bounty. Exactly. He did Cadillac Man with Robin Williams and Tim Robbins. Oh, really? Oh, he's two Cadillac Man. Robin Williams and Tim Robbins. Oh, really? Yeah.

It's two Cadillac man. Wow. The great documentary McLaren. Yeah. All quiet on the Western front. He also did the bank job with what's his name from that guy from that movie. Oh yeah. Okay, we're running out of steam here. Let's move on to still alive. I'm going to go

track him down. Yeah, he's a legend. Do we bother? Well, actually interviewing him about yeah, that original expedition that he filmed. Definitely. Yeah. Be Well worth a track down and also he would know where the where the bloody Docko ended up. Yeah, I'm down. Oh Okay, anyway, we should do some Crypto news, I guess attention all personnel. It's time for this week's cryptid Did you guys catch the news about this cube-shaped creature with 24 eyes discovered hiding in a pond in Hong Kong? What the... somehow this is... Hang on, a cube-shaped creature with 24 eyes.

Be sure this isn't a kids book. No, no, honestly, researchers scooped water from a pond and discovered a new species of cube-shaped creature with 24 eyes. What? Love it. This comes from the Miami Herald, okay, which is part of the McClatchley Media Network. Oh, God.

One of the most reliable networks. It's from the McClatchleys. It's definitely legit. Yeah, they're a lovely bunch of people. Media moguls, the McClatchleys. McClatchy. It's the McClatchy. Scientists let down a net and scooped up water

from a brownish green pond in Hong Kong. As they looked closer at their catch, they found a cube-shaped 24-eyed creature looking back and discovered a new species. The researchers found the creature hiding in the brackish water of shrimp ponds at mypo-nature reserve, according to a study published much 20

in the journal Zoological Studies, they returned three summers in a row and kept finding more of these creatures. The scientists analyzed the animals and discovered a new species of box jellyfish. So box jellyfish are named obviously their cube-shaped bodies. And this group of jellyfish contains some of the most venomous marine animals in the world. Far out. So just to show you kind of like what a box jellyfish looks like. Oh yeah, that's beautiful.

Freaky. Freaky stuff. The super long legs. Well, whatever they're called. Not legs. Nice legs. Yeah, I mean, they're not tentacles. Maybe you call them that. Dangly, but...

Obviously, this new species always give things a bizarre name. Um, try Padelia... My Poenzus. Has a see-through body with a slight whitish tinge. The jellyfish measuring less than an inch long. So it's tiny, guys. What? Hang on, it's less than an inch long and it's got 24

eyes how small are the eyes? Well it'll be tiny. Okay so the jellyfish has 24 eyes arranged in sets of six. On each side the creature has two larger eyes, the upper and lower lens eyes surrounded by four smaller eyes now on as the upper and lower lens eyes, surrounded by four smaller eyes, no one has the pit and slit eyes. Ah, thank you. I'm watching you right now. You're watching me through your real eye, no, I'm watching you through four of my pit and slit eyes. Here we go. I've got a picture here to show you, Chaps, a diagram of the tri-pedelia myopoensis jellyfish showing six of the animal's eyes. The abbreviation, le means lower lens eye.

Pe means pit eye. I'm telling you these because when you're showing you the picture, you'll see these abbreviations with arrows. So I want you to remember, le is lower lens eye. Lower lens eye. Pe means pit eye S-E is your slut eye. Slut I, let's get it.

And U-E means upper lens I. Oh, there we go. I'm so excited to see the image. Oh, yeah, right. Okay, that's amazing. Look at that. Right, so pet I, slut I, one U-E. Right, so Pat, I, Slit, I, one, UE, what was the UE again?

Upper lens, I. Yeah. And you're not gonna remember any of this tomorrow's hours pointless, but let's move. Ah! Hang on, no, bad hang on. Of those set of eyes, are you saying there's multiple sets of those eyes all around it?

Yeah. Nobody's sneaking up on this little bugger. Yeah, so there's, as I say, 24 altogether, but they're in sets of six. So that's one set of six. So I've got two questions with this. It's blow me away. Visible, if it's only an inch long, that's those eyes are tiny. But how does it process all of that data from all of those eyes?

If it's only an inch long, it must have a tiny little brain processing 24 lenses. And there's a sort of has the ability to switch them on and off, and it's not having to look at all of those eyes all at the same time. It might take it to one central source. Yeah, but it would be tiny.

But I do have to say the headline of saying that a creature was scooped out of a lake that was a box that had 24 eyes. Yeah. Worth it for the headline and totally worth it for the headline. And you think to yourself, I can see Dan yawning excessively there. But it's super late in the UK. Yeah, I think the best way. Cube shaped creature with 24 eyes discovered hiding in pond in Hong Kong. Study says scientists let down a net of scooped up water from a brownish green pond in Hong Kong.

They got a Cube shaped 24 under the back. And discovered images. The scientists analyze the animals and discovered a new species of oxygen. Yes, we're more interesting. I'm already subtle this mate. I'm gonna be cornered by the suspect. Yeah, you're a bit behind buddy. Talk as fast as you like, but everyone already knows it. You're already all right.

Mother's day is Sunday. Spoil mom at JC Penny. Help her unwind and relax. Don't do this. Don't try to put an ad in my... This is my show. Are you kidding me? Oh my god, the Miami Herald.

You know, this is so typical of the Maclatchee group. You know, you guys, what's the immediate network? Just trying to get some money. Oh, you know what? The other thing is the problem with that is that people now know that this was recorded on Mother's Day and by the time I get it edited in and out, it's probably going to be Father's Day though. Damn it Macl clanky group.

Did that eat... Failed again! No, no! All right, what cryptos are you guys got? Well, I got two pieces which are of not recent sightings. They're more sort of bulletin crypto news. The first being that there's a place in America called Clalum County, possibly a different pronunciation there, who have just officially signed off a proclamation, recognizing and

honoring Sasquatch. And what they've done is they've turned it into a protection and refuge zone. So officially, they bigfoot and Sasquatch and any other giant harry ape in the area is officially protected by the county. So that's a safe haven for any Sasquatch listening to this show. You are so if you have that. And it got, yeah, it got signed this year. It says, now therefore we the board of Clallam County Commissioners here by request. All citizens of Clalum County recognize this county as a refuge for Sasquatch to prove both protection and security and also support for the Fork Sasquatch Day.

So they have a Sasquatch Day, May 26th through to May 28th. So not quite sort of understanding what a day is. Length is there. That's fine. And then just a little historical animal that's been discovered. Scientists have found a 10-foot long killer tadpole that used to terrorize the earth. This is before dinosaurs were about to...

10-foot long! 10 10 foot long tadpole. This is a 330 million year old crocodile-like tadpole. That's quite scary. Crocodile-like tadpole? I know there's a lot of mixed use of words here, isn't there? Is it a tadpole-like crocodile? How do they know? I'd hate to see the size of frog that bloody tadpole's gonna turn into.

You do. You do. I'd hate to see the size of frog that bloody Ted pole is going to turn into. Can you imagine it? But where it used to swim is in what is now, because obviously the land masses have changed from 330 million years ago, is now what is Scotland as well as parts of North America but you know this thing does have elements that looks slightly nessie-like and 350 million years ago swimming in the territory of where Loch Ness might have been. I'm throwing it in as a potential new candidate as a nessie. Yeah it's a big tadpole.

It's a big killer tadpole. It, yeah, it's a big tadpole. It's a big kill it's at for. Could be a ten-foot long tadpole. God, wouldn't that chance into a massive frog we'll bloody know about it? It's not, it's just not really such a, like somebody said, what happened to buttons? He was killed by a crocodile. You go, oh poor dude, that's really, as opposed to,

oh, what happened to buttons? He got killed by a tadpole. Ah. It was 10 foot long. Well, the temper is a big one. No, no, cool, cool, cool, cool. It's not a way to go, isn't it? Being killed by something that's only just started

its life cycle. It's not even half-way through being the thing it's gonna be yet. It didn't even have legs. It's literally just come out of the egg and eat it you. Yeah, exactly. How is he killed? Is killed by a lion.

Oh, that's crazy. Oh, it's actually the fetus of a lion. Yeah. Someone's through the fetus of a lion at him. Yeah. So that's just my new theory. I like that. That's what you think.

I know, I like theory. I like that. I mean, I also think it's fun, the idea that, or interesting, that prehistoric animals were so huge and then over time with evolution, things have just got smaller and smaller. Yeah, yeah. But we have actually got taller, haven't we? As a species, we have grown. So that doesn't translate. Because early humans were much smaller, right? Yeah, we shouldn't be getting smaller.

Even people in the sixties are smaller, because you go to those thrift stores and nothing fits you. You think, God, am I huge? No, people back then were just smaller. And you go to old pubs and the doors, like, you know, over like 200 years ago, like tiny little bits. No, but you know, I've done even the reason for that, right?

Yeah, people were tiny. People were tiny. No, what it was is that material cost a lot. So to buy the wood for a door and make a good door, would cost quite a lot. So why make such a tall door when all you need is an opening? So doors were smaller just because it made sense to use less materials. I think I've made that up. Pretty normal for people to bend down to go through doors back on the day. Exactly.

Exercise too. Well anyway, from small doors to my little piece of news, which again is surrounding AI, you can't get away from AI and the news of late, which is really getting kind of a little bit boring. It seems like years ago when we were having scripts written for us by AI and it seemed really quite weird and strange. And now it's AI is becoming very commonplace. And what it's also doing, which is a little bit annoying, people are using AI to try and prove that Bigfoot is definitely not real. And also they're trying to use that to prove that footage that has previously been used as evidence of Bigfoot using it to

prove that it's not. And the one that they've put AI to just recently is the famous Patterson Gimlin film, which is a little bit, but I mean, great, it's a good use. For everybody's been looking at that film for decades, ever since it was taken trying to determine whether it was true or not, or real. Now, some experts have used AI computer vision to stabilize the footage of the Patterson Gimman film to try and determine whether or not it is just human-like walking rather than the big, you know, sort of strange ape-like type walk that people believe it is. And unfortunately, people are saying that the results clearly prove that it was actually just somebody dressed up in an ape suit. Unfortunately, people are saying that the results clearly prove that it was actually just somebody dressed up in an episode.

Well, if there's any more reasons that we need to hate AI, that's it right there. You're telling me that the fucking artificial, and that's what that in full caps, artificial intelligence, is now telling us that we got it all wrong. You dumbass humans. It was a guy in a suit because I can, if I can prove it, because my processing power and my stability technology intuition is beyond anything you could imagine. You useless breathing bits of meat. That's pretty much it.

That is, that is, that is the beginning of the revolution right here. We're starting it here on the cryptic factor right now. No one fucks without petty footage. That's one of our holy grails. You're telling we've been lied to the whole time? Fuck off robots, come on. Let's take them down.

The war starts now. One step too far, they crossed a line. You crossed a line, AI. Next, I'll be telling us that we wasted our money on a backpack Let's see the footage yeah, okay here we go. This is the AI adjusted footage It's AI adjusted footage here. We go. It is very well stabilized Wait was and that's it what that's it stabilized. I don't? That's it stabilized. I don't get it. I don't get it.

That looks more human. Yeah, they say that if you look at it, because in the previous footage it's been so shaky when people have stabilized it in the past, the stabilization doesn't do a great job of actually then getting the detail of the actual movements. What they're saying is that this AI tool during the stabilization is actually using computer vision as well. So it's actually looking at all the pixels and making it easier to more distinguishable.

But all I'm seeing is something that's been adjusted. That isn't the original. The original, of course, was shot on film. And it's computers versus the very raw reality of analog you know and my mind it's kind of like where it's been adjusted to make it look as though it's not as real as what it was. Where do you stop right? You turn it into a cartoon if you wanted now using AI tools. You can you know literally recreate it from a 3D angles and stuff, but it's still not the original.

It's a computer's interpretation of it. Surely we should all resort to the original. Yeah. When you start stabilizing shit, you are tempering it. It's a sticky one, and I saw this article as well, and I decided not to bring it up. Give it the light of day, and I just... You as well and I decided not to to bring it out. Give it the light of day and I just you did. Because I was desperate. I didn't want to either but I couldn't find anything else. It's just the one from the daily star or might be a different one that I got.

No, no, I've got the IFL science. As mine says, Bigfoot expert blasts AI for almost daily hoaxes getting in the way of the search. This is where Bigfoot expert Thomas Markham has said the elusive creatures community is struggling with hoaxes made up by artificial intelligence on almost daily occurrences. So, people are now who are going to be hoaxing, have now got the amazing ability with AI imagery to make the hoax just look even more realistic. So, that's another thing that's getting in the way. So, it's going to be even more difficult to verify images and stuff. So, that's probably a different article, I think, but then the same bull park.

Yeah, this is I thought, because I don't want to accuse the guy who's sort of attacking it in this article of being biased, you know, you'd think he's scientific. However, the quote, if you go down buttons to the highlighted quote, I think he does have a bit of an agenda when he says,

when the guy in the suit turned to look at the camera sort of suggested he um yeah yeah yeah his mind was already made up yeah yeah yeah you're so right yeah yeah he's called crook yeah I believe this guy crook I'm sorry mate he's a crook well knew you was a croc at the point he called himself one. Yeah, I'm sorry there's no way. I mean no offense to you, croc, but um, I love it when people say no offense mate. Oh, I've just delivered you a bit of offense here, but taking that away with the following sentence, no offense, so you can't have me. But I have sued your family for lying to me.

No offense, mate. Oh, damn it, because I was on the brink of being offended there. And you really rude to me and my family name, but then you've, I can, well no offense on this stuff, I've got no argument against that. So if you have a great day, nice, have a great day. Oh, you're really ready to be offended.

All right, well on that note, we should, we should scadaffle. Well, there's one, there's just quick one last thing that we have to celebrate There's a fact that and it's really good because we've spent $12,000 on a backpack Yeah, there's no additional charges from a old finger coming back into the show which is so I'd so thankful I so thankful of all the whole time back into the show, which is so... I know. So thankful. I know. So thankful of all that whole time I've been worried that he may just pop back up and just be like, oh, we've got no money for this.

So really? He's absolutely gone. I think he, and even though I did say no offense to him, he got offended by me saying, you know, his voice was dropping a bit there. He's a bit rusty. I think that is the last we've seen or heard of him for a while, for now. You were. I'm going to go make a box for an old backpack now, guys.

I'm going to go make a display unit. Yes. Yes. I'm going to wait to see that. What a comeback show. Yeah. Every show we do now is like a comeback show, which is... LAUGHTER

Look forward to the next one at Christmas. Yeah. Alright, well Dan, you'll let you get to sleep. I can see you're glazed over again. I'm feeling... He's gone, I'm going. I'm feeling a little bit better. He's like a couple of glazed doughnuts.

Oh, god. I'm holding over. His eyes are like a couple of glazed doughnuts. Oh god. I'm holding on strong. I got you. I got you. I got you. Okay. See you next time, bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Right, I just wanted to say this, alright? You only live twice, that's why I'm back. Oh, Fringer! He's a man, a man who came back from the grave. He likes to rave.
