Starting point is 00:02:17 And did she eventually give you all the secrets? Me? Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, they're not secrets for me. They're secrets against the enemy. I mean, I knew them as well. That's how she not secrets for me. They're secrets against the enemy So I mean I I knew them as well Their family secrets we know them right It's just say nothing to the Gestapo She's German was she
Starting point is 00:02:38 And was a German woman she worked with all right Yeah, that was advising her not to go and have lunch with a Gestapo officer that she fancied. Right. And we're back. We are here in the US of A. Yeah. And it's been a hell of a trip. It's been great to have us all in the same place for once.
Starting point is 00:03:01 It does happen on occasion, of course. We've done many pilots. we've done some adventures together. Yeah, but yeah, Dan, how have you enjoyed yourself here in the US? I've loved it. This is the latest we've ever done a podcast, the three of us together. This is 10.55 in the evening and it's the night before Leon goes back to where New Zealand. I've gone here like two days ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Literally have come for two or three days. In and out like a burger. Straight away. Straight away. But it does. It's wonderful. We actually get to see each other and being each other's presence today.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We did a photo shoot, which was exciting. We did. That's here. There's some really cool pics gonna come out. We've been on a boat looking for UFOs. And then before we all got here, one of the best things I've done in a very long time was you took me, Reese, to go see giant rock.
Starting point is 00:03:53 This phenomenal, well, it, the story is phenomenal. The idea, the history. The rock itself. A bit disappointing. The rock itself bit disappointing. I mean, it's still big, it's giant. It is big, but when you say this is the biggest freestanding boulder in the world,
Starting point is 00:04:06 I want a building size rock. Right. This was just a nice big boulder. I mean, it's a small building. I mean, it's 74 high. And it's no, you can't lift it. No, no, it's big. People literally lived underneath it,
Starting point is 00:04:19 which I thought was very bizarre. It's the exciting thing. So this whole story, so this is like a two hour drive outside of LA. Yeah. We went through Palm Springs to Desert Hot Springs and you go and you're suddenly in this like desert wasteland, it was like Tatooine, you know, it's a very Star Wars feel to it. We were saying as we were walking by, we thought the Jarwhas might be sort of a rock from the
Starting point is 00:04:40 Rocky Hill side. And the story of it is, well, Reese, you told it to me, and you did so good at telling it. It's a so awful, convoluted story. No, no, you didn't really, it's a single brief version. Yeah. So initially, this German chap called Frank Kritzer lived under the rock, and he had a little establishment
Starting point is 00:04:57 that he built there. So he dug under. Like he made his own room. He dug under that. To be honest, it seems like the very worst place to dig a cave when there's a massive, the most giant granite rock in the entire world that we know of. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's on top of you and you're digging under it? Is that one thing I can't think of? That's just the beginning. It's going to do. It's going to get a little bit of a... And squash you. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And that's to come. Right. But yeah, basically the weirdness starts with him because it was during World War II. And he lived under there with his suspicious radio set. He was a ham radio type. And he also had a little airfield next to him. So of course, the suspicions were that he was a spy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Oh, right. Of course, he actually wasn't. But during those times in the 1940s, particularly just as the US was entering the war, 41, 42, the height of World War II, basically suspicion got too much and the CIA were called in to get rid of the sky or to flush them out, basically. Because you could never be too careful. We can only imagine the terror of suspicion and worry that, you know, general folk would have when there's a world war happening in your country's part of it, and then there's so many threats.
Starting point is 00:06:11 What was he, though? Like, he's actually American-born. American-born, but he sort of, he travels out one day into this sort of desert bit where there's not yet any mythology about it. Caesar's massive rock. Yeah. And things- This will do, mate. I'm going to dig a hole. Yeah. I'll hide under here with my radio. Yeah. I mean, it's a bit suss, isn't it? It's a little suss, but at the same time, he was really quite popular with aviation times and that how it hues used to fly out and visit him. Instead of people used his airstrap as a sort of like a little go-between spot and then stop. So he built the airstrap, he created this.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Oh, well yeah, I think it's such a flat airirstrip, it's literally just a flat piece of it. He just lay down some rocks on a straight line and then you can land. Yeah, I think it's so flat there. But apparently his wife had a cup of tea and a scone stand there and then people would fly in, she'd make them a cup of tea and a scone and stuff. Yeah, it's very cool. It's unfortunate ending to the chat because he blew up. During the CIA raid, he set up explosives to completely destroy his abode. Yeah, which is a normal non-spy type thing to do.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I mean, you have to blow up your place a bit. Imagine your house sputtles is rigged up with explosives. They're just ready to go, right? Here they come, here they come! Boom! Well, I have to put it down there. Just my mum. And the last of us, as well, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:07:31 They set up explosives and stuff. Yeah. So that's what you do when there's a threat out there. Anyway, so that's the end of him. And then in Warks, George Van Tassel, this chap also as a pilot, he actually met the first chap Frank the year earlier and found the area that they became friends and he decided once Frank exploded That he would move on into this place. So he went for the rights for the place to build there and Construct more than just a house there, but also a store to make the air strip more, I guess, fancy.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And so he got permission and he moved in there. Did he move in under the rock? Yes, he did as well. So he lived under there. Wow. He was reconstructed the abode. Do we know if it was like he dug really deep down and it was like an underground house or was it an actual... It was like two or three little rooms. Was there a little potbelly stove?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Wow. Because it gets quite cold out there in winter. Yeah. And then, but I think actually it was Von Tessel's wife made the scones in tea. Just an important point. Yeah, I was, I did want to bring it up at the time. Yeah, and this is the next chapter. And how it used to be is that a Von Tessel.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He runs Got Their Own Ideas About Stories. But then, so Tassel, Bond Tassel, Van Tassel, it actually is, became a uophologist because he was fascinated by the stars and the fact that there was something out there. Ultimately, Van Tassel would become kind of like the rock star of uophology and setting up giant conferences in this place called Giant Rock.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So this all springs from this fantastic moment when he believes he was visited by Spacemen, forgive me if I'm wrong, I think it's from one of our solar systems, like Sesson or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, something local. Name a couple of other plans. Mouse, juicer, no Venus, maybe. Venus, it might be. Venus, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Well done, I just want to see if you could name. What's up, planets? Yeah. How many tickets are on my list? They can name the planets. Tick. Good. Yeah, so he believed they landed on the Ears strip,
Starting point is 00:09:43 which is why the Ears strip since then has been called the ET landing strip For one of a bit of term UFO landing strip blah blah blah You can edit some of this down or speed it up. It is late But yeah these aliens came in and they contacted him, talked to him, and they downloaded some information to build a structure, which was to become the integrator. And this is a time-traveling kind of frequency, modulator, sound dome that was supposed to rejuvenate human cells. So it's like they were saying to him, okay, you humans,
Starting point is 00:10:25 you know, you're only going to live 80 plus years, we live for hundreds of years. Let me give you some advice. You want to live longer? It's all about sound and frequency and you can travel out of your body and rejuvenate yourselves by going into this big thing. He's like, yep, okay, I'll build it. I'll build it. I like living. And so he got the plans. And then he started to build this thing. So I think the biggest festival might have been 78. When he had about 10,000 people come. Out of the desert. For UFOs. For exes.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah, for lectures and things like that. When you think about it, the desert out there, I mean, there's not a lot of services and accommodation and stuff out there now. No. No. But back then it would have literally... And you've got to use it. You need a four-wheel drive to get out there. So it would have been a heck of a journey to get there
Starting point is 00:11:12 to a festival in 10,000 people getting there? Some of them flowing. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also, like any festival, you bring your tent. Right. People shut up stalls. Yeah, you bring your Model T Ford.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Yeah. And your old cloth tent with bamboo sticks. Yeah, and you belly can. Yeah, that's it. And you sit there in the sand and you listen to a couple of weird guys saying, hey look, I definitely got visited the other night. There's something out there guys. Like I went from Venus I tell you. it was the first you know absolute kind of rock era of Eurphology and then it went down again went down at numbers and then has now since gone up again So it's like there's an interest but to think there was a massive interest back then there was hundreds of UFO clubs We've collected these UFO magazines which you can get in that area from one of the local thrift stores from from back then
Starting point is 00:12:02 The original copies yeah called thy called, like, Kingdom Come. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So he built this thing right, which is called the Integratron? That's right, which is still there today. It's down the road. It's there. We couldn't see it because the rejuvenating powers are not available on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:12:19 So we... No, we couldn't go in. We had to look over a fence. But also, you've got a book, months in advance to get in there. Right. Because it really does work. I don't know if it rejuvenates your cells. Yeah. But people use it as a sound bath.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And it's like a great meditation spot. And it's really, really healthy. Well, I heard as well that they got the download of the plans from the aliens. And part of the plans were that you couldn't use one nail in the whole thing because the magnetic forces in the building would pull the thing to bits. But also the reason why he built the integrator on right there was the aliens told him it was right on special lay lines in the earth. So I had to be there.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Yeah, and it has since been proven that it is on special lay lines and aquafers and all that kind of stuff. But apparently that was also supposed to be some form of time machine, right? Or there was time travel ability. Yeah, the time element is confusing. I wonder whether for me the time travel means that you won't travel in time, but you will live longer. Yes. Get more time. Yes, to travel.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Right. And you're model T4. I mean, you're in time travel. Well, you're going to live longer so you'll have more time to travel. You said there was time travel. I said time to travel. You missed out a little bit the two. Time to travel, I'll post shit. You said time travel.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Let's rewind and listen to it now. Time to travel. See that? Let's rewind and listen to it now. Rihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihih Guess I'll head off to France or something. I've got plenty of time What about money? This thing will just get you there. Yeah, we'll redo the neck. Yeah, you'll be here Here's the big one though. He died before it could be completed. Yeah mysterious circumstances. No really a two mysterious Well the first one he exploded himself, but why was he being that was a mysterious? Why? Yeah, this one's a mysterious Bye But why was he being? That was a mysterious... Why? This one's a mysterious... Bye. Aaaaah! Aaaaah!
Starting point is 00:14:28 A mysterious bye! So anyway, uh... So we went out there, so... So mystical. It's so mystical. You told me the story well, and we were out there, and... And there's this other thing, buttons, which I don't know. You've been there, haven't you?
Starting point is 00:14:37 You've been there. I've been here a year before COVID and stuff. We went out to the... We went to the... We're the reason. Recently... There's videos on our Patreon of buttons and I doing this whole... been there. How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there?
Starting point is 00:14:46 How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there?
Starting point is 00:14:54 How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there?
Starting point is 00:15:02 How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? How have you been there? on the Patreon, the some of this might be news to you. On the video on the Patreon, when we went out to Giant Rock, it was right around the time it was a contact in the desert, it fantastic you a faux conference out there. And they were doing a tour that you had to book in and pay quite a lot of money to go on this tour and there's a whole bunch of people. And of course, recent I just, excited and we stole a tour. We just went on the tour and became part of the tour.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Oh wow. We all sneaked on. We sneaked on. And we all joined hands and settled the right. We noticed that in every one of our yards or anything like that. You just had to have a certain sort of look. Yeah. And we had that look.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So I just did it loser. So anyway, we went in. And we just became part of the tour party. And no one said anything. But the funny thing was was you had your camera equipment Yeah, and so we're doing a part where we're all putting our arms together We're holding hands and we're like making a big circle around the giant rock and while I'm doing that holding people's hands I don't know I'm not part of this tool, you know, yeah, got a couple of strange looks
Starting point is 00:16:00 Oh, yeah, when you're at the morning tea But then Leon is running around with this massive camera equipment like filming everything just going Excuse me, can you show that again? Like the guy's giving lecture and he's like filming it It's like Hijacked the fucking thing cut-to-hide in plain sight. It's so cool. Yeah I do apologize if there's anyone that's listening that wasn't part of that So funny, but yeah, so we go there. We see there's also a bit of mythology
Starting point is 00:16:27 that I was told by your daughter, Helena, because she was there, Finn was there, your son, who's also sort of secretly in the room right now. What was that? Dean, Dean, what's the thing? Dean was there who filmed our initial, when I first tried the cryptid factor, we went to Illinois, he was the cameraman there.
Starting point is 00:16:43 So the rock is massive, but there's this giant chip that's fallen off. It's just like a really clean cut on the side, which I don't know how that happens. I guess it's erosion, but it's really clean. And apparently there was a story whereby the locals, the indigenous locals, were saying that whether if the rock split down the middle, it was going to be the sign of the apocalypse and the world was on its way out. But if it chipped off on the side,, it was going to be the sign of the apocalypse and the world was on its way out. But if it chipped off on the side, then things were going to be okay.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And that's why we're going to chip off on the side. So you see that, you hear that story. You've got all these quartz crystals that are just on the road, which we collected a couple, which you're allowed to take to, is the sort of the general consensus of what that is. And then this is the weird thing. And I haven't actually mentioned this to you reset,
Starting point is 00:17:26 because you and Finn were in a different car when we were leaving. Right. But Dean can corroborate this as can Helena, and I wonder if you guys saw it too. As we were driving away, we were in barren desert, right? Like there's no one there. And as we're driving away, suddenly Dean's like,
Starting point is 00:17:41 what's that black van? Oh. And there was a black van with blackout windows that was just sitting behind a little bit Dean's like, what's that black van? And there was a black van with black out windows that was just sitting behind a little bit of like, because there's a bush layer kind of stuff. Yeah, exactly. Sitting behind that. Just in the middle, totally off-road. Like, totally wasn't there when we got there. So no one had gotten out to come and see us or anything like that or be a part of the big giant rock experience. Wow. And as we're driving by, it then starts following us.
Starting point is 00:18:09 So Dean is driving really carefully and looking in the rear-view mirror going, is that following us? What's going on? Wow. And I don't know if you guys had gone ahead of us at this point or if you were behind us. So did you see the black van? Um, I, for starters, I was in the car with you. What? Yeah. So this might be an end-eller effect for... I will for starters I was in the car with you. What? Yeah
Starting point is 00:18:30 So this might be an endeavour effect for wait I should be with Finn. Okay. No No, I was with you. We were all in the same car. We had to get back to Yeah, you were there to then sorry Yeah, yeah, sorry no because then we went to your car. No, no, sorry, okay, so we were all in the car right So I'm telling you stories that you are absolutely that He was having some Memory It wasn't even black What it wasn't the men and black I don't like thin being in the room when we do oversize things.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Listen, this is the kind of contribution you're in. I sunfinn is here listening and filming some of this. It is cooperating. It's really well. It's dropping some truth bombs. Wait, it wasn't a black fan? Well, Dean thought it was a black fan. Mandela, I never kind of saw it.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Did you see it? Yeah, I saw it. It was amazing. What it had, it had a red stripe down the side and it had these big tires. Not a red like Aerofoil. Yeah, I saw all this from New Zealand when I was back in New Zealand. I still travel in England. I don't know if it was, I definitely wasn't there. I definitely wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Me, exactly. The A team were there. Well, what do you think it was then the... The A-tum, the A-tum, the A-tum, the A-tum, the A-tum, the A-tum, the A-tum. Well, what do you think it was then? What color? Uh, well, considering I never saw it, I'm gonna go with... Oh, you didn't see it? Dark grey. Well, that could have been a rock.
Starting point is 00:19:57 And even the heaven got all night. What's possibly the FBI or the CIA were following us? Dude, it's Paranoid. Do you remember him being Paranoid, Finn? Yeah. Okay, didn't get that wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He thought something was following us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:13 All right. Well, it was kind of spooky where we were the only ones there. Yeah. Because it was very vast this landscape. Yeah. And as some of the photos were put up, we did feel totally minuscule. And as you're driving away, there was a car, like you say, despite the color, whatever, it wasn't on the track.
Starting point is 00:20:30 It was kind of off to the side, then did start following us. And so they didn't go to the event. They weren't at the Graeme Rock. You know, we didn't see anyone around there. It was just a car that was almost like a few were tailing someone and you wanted to just keep an eye on what they're doing from a distance and you park there and you'd surveil with your binoculars and what have you and then when we left then they just subtly went right and let's follow them. So yeah, there is a intriguing element to that.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Yeah. It was just a bit odd. It might it's a form of celebrity visiting van. Everybody's paid and coming of van will track Ristabi for the day and follow all his movements. You can get all the photos you like. At least don't try and push that. It should have been packed because contact in the desert was on, which is not far away. And there were trips that were taking people out there.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And you'd figure there'd be some stragglers sort of breaking out from their sessions of contact and desert, but no, that was great. It was like the time I saw Ned Kelly's death mask in Melbourne on a morning. And it's one of the most iconic things of Australia. I just had an hour alone with it with his armistice, and felt. It felt like a nice privilege to have your alone time with what should be such a destination for a ufologist. So it was cool. I thank you so much for taking me there. It was a real highlight in my year, really.
Starting point is 00:21:53 It was cool, wasn't it? Well, there is something really magical out there. You can see why so many people are attracted out there and why the Joshua Tree has such an amazing place that the contact on the desert, a lot of the ufology conferences started. Yeah. There really is a magical feeling out there, right?
Starting point is 00:22:13 Did you feel it yourself, Dan, that there's kind of a really nice energy out there? Yes, but I didn't feel like it was part of maybe what you were talking about. I just felt like it was historically so nice that it gave me a warm feeling. But who knows, maybe that might have been, yeah, the feeling of bathing in the sound bars of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Of vantassles. Yeah. There is, apparently, one of the reasons why they say that that is a UFO hotspot is right next to Giant Rock, the largest granite rock known to us. There is just over the other part, the largest granite rock known to us, there is just over the other part the massive pile of courts. Crystal and people have claimed there is apparently one ginormous courts crystal underground there.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Like one huge rock, just like the granite rock but one that is underground. Yeah. And it has said that because of all the laylines and everything hitting at the same point that there is this huge big quartz crystal that that's where UFOs go to recharge. Oh. Like a Tesla charging station. And they're coming through and they come out and park up there.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And that's why they say Vontessa was being visited by these aliens was because they were coming there to charge. Just like Howard Hughes turning up to go and eat some scones in a cup of tea, so were the aliens coming to charge. And also with that part of a vantassil getting the plans to build the Antigratron, apparently the other thing that the aliens gave him was proof, or at least the opportunity for him to prove
Starting point is 00:23:43 that he was being visited by aliens. And it said that they told Vantassal a date that they were going to do a fly by, or at least bring the UFOs in and around the White House. He told people this date and this time that the aliens said that they were going to visit. And on that night, apparently, UFOs were spotted in it around the White House or above the White House or people saw it. Now there is a documentary somebody has made which is called Calling All Earthlings. I haven't watched it yet but apparently it is all about Van Tassel and about the
Starting point is 00:24:19 Integratron. So there you go folks. So if you felt that the last 20 to 25 minutes was quite a bore, difficult to get through, just to check out that documentary. So yeah, the documentary is there. At that, we should put a little warning at the start of the podcast. Go quickly go and watch this documentary, come back to the podcast and fast forward 25 minutes and start watching from this point here. Hey, welcome back. Yeah, welcome back. How was the documentary? I was well edited and it made sense and all the facts were right. But for those of you that didn't bother with it. Right, facts. We'll just carry on. So over, so over
Starting point is 00:25:01 blind. Just just before we go and so sorry, I know we've been going on a lot about Vontassle and we know we need to get to the weekly world red news, but just before I do, a large part of this weekend, one of my favorite parts, has been discussions around are we in the matrix, are we in a simulation? Looking for proof points of whether it's coincidences, whether it's strange stuff. It's been a big part of the weekend. Lazy code. Lazy code.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Today we went into the alcohol store to go and buy some alcohol. And I was like, oh, something drew me to the tequila section. And I went up and looked strange to the tequila section. Yeah. Do you remember last night we were talking about an idea of a TV show or a podcast to make or what have you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I saw this and I had to buy it. I'm going to open up his ears open the bag. God gee, brown paper bag to find what this liquor bottle is. And it is the Lost Explorer. Oh, that's our idea. Yes. We were sitting there late last night at a bar in Los Angeles and we were talking about the Lost Explorers and about the idea of having a show or doing something about Lost Explorers.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I've never seen this tequila bottle before in my life. I don't even know what it's about, but also not only is it called the Lost Explorer tequila, it's also got the picture of a weird-ass animal cryptid. And one of the other bottle that was $170, so I clearly didn't get that one. This was only $70. Had like a, what's the hair with the, the jackalote.
Starting point is 00:26:37 The jackalote, thank you. The jackalote on it. And this one, I don't know what this animal is on. This is a pig with antlers and wings. Yes, I love it. Exactly. So to finish our trip off with just one more evidence of lazy code from our simulation.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah, it is. And it said, tequila bottle so we can, at the end of the show, get wasted on tequila and know that it's just the matrix, it's just a simulation. It doesn't matter All right now it's time for everyone's favorite segment weekly world weird news Freaky watch out what if we got over headline. Yep, I want to chuck in here It's kind of on theme really you have excited about it before were like, oh there's my news and then you fell
Starting point is 00:27:25 asleep on the couch for a 20 minute. So I'm really excited about this. It would be good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So it is the fact that there is a billionaire mogul. He's been injecting himself with the blood of his 17 year old son and 70 year old father in an attempt to continue rejuvenating his body to live longer than anyone else has ever lived before. What? Hang on, but what? It sounds like a cult. A cult, a document.
Starting point is 00:27:53 It's a guy called Brian Johnson. He spends $2 million annually on making his body try to age down by pumping bloods in. But why is his father who's older than that? He's just as headlight territory. I remember that psychon Silicon Valley, that guy, that billionaire, he sits here and has some young students come and transfer.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I didn't realize there was a thing. Apparently, it's a thing. Yeah. But he thinks he's cracked the fountain of youth, the elixir of life, the secret to immortality. Oh, nice. Yeah, so we'll go to that. OK, cool, cool.
Starting point is 00:28:22 That is worth falling asleep for on the couch before. Like not me, you, that was worth, you're allowed to fall asleep. Okay. You're padding. Are you padding? I'm definitely padding. What have you got, Rhys?
Starting point is 00:28:36 Well, that's all about living forever and cracking life. Yeah. How about the opposite? Death. Work is a horrified as 450 headless vampire skeletons are found while digging up a road. Wow. That's quite rough because it's often the head that indicates that it is a vampire. The teeth being basically the giveaway. What else do you got? What else do you got? Well, the capes could still be on.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yeah. The truth. Look at the size of the collar on those capes. He's a vampire. Oh my god. Sorry, that's late. He's got it. He's got a stake through his heart and he's still wearing the garlic necklace.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah, that's also some of the diggers could have mirror lenses on their aviator glasses and they look down and the skeleton has absolutely no reflection in their glasses. Wow. And they think, hey Brian, what? You're looking at that skeleton, right? Yeah, right, and it's facing you. Yeah, why can't I see it in your bloody marillanzas, mate? Get out of town.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Yeah, not only that. Look at the fucking size of those collars. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Vampires! Roo! What have you got, buttons? I bet you got two stories that are slightly linked, but both of them are more just the headphones. I like nothing more than a slight link. Sorry. Very slightly. One of them, Elon Musk Groundbreaking,
Starting point is 00:30:18 Brain Computer Interface gets green light for human trial. Oh, yes. I some interested in this. Finally he's put them in some monkeys and did a quick little test, but now he's got the ability to do some human trials, which is exciting. The next one, which kind of goes with it a little bit, which is the reason why he is doing this computer link in 12 brain, is so that we can fight AI and be as smart as AI and have the connectivity to the internet, just like AI does and what have he heard about AI. But ironically at the same time, the company that he invested in early on to be able to
Starting point is 00:30:57 develop AI called OpenAI, which of course is famous for making chat GPT. Open AI have teamed up with a company called FIGA to develop terrifyingly creepy humanoid robots for the workforce. Wow. And it's only on the day that I literally today was saying, wow, I want to encourage my kids to become plumbers or builders or something practical because AI is taking all of the legal and what have you,
Starting point is 00:31:25 now there's no job that safe. But there's humanoid robots with AI and then that can work all day long and all through the night and in darkness and all that. So to kind of quite terrifying news articles there for the future. Well, they go perfectly well together like wine and cheese, an old beige beret, with a badge on it that says, death to the robots. Oh, I like that. Yeah. That's just something coming up with for the future. Yeah. All right. Well, it's rock on with Dan and the bad boys. Okay. So Brian Johnson, this guy is a billionaire.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Yeah, a few times over. He spends two million per year trying to rejuvenate his body. And the story is is that he's doing it because he has found evidence that it's working, that it's rejuvenating his body. So, for example, he and his doctors have claimed that in the two years that he's done this stuff It's reduced his overall biological age by more than five years He's a 45-year-old guy. He now has the heart of a 37-year-old the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old Wow, so what he's been doing is he's been undergoing a thing called plasma swapping.
Starting point is 00:32:46 And plasma swapping, I don't fully understand it, but the idea is that he's taken his 17-year-old son, his 70-year-old father, and they've had their blood removed, converted via a machine into its piece parts. So one batch of the liquid is then plasma and then another batch is red blood cells, white cells and platelets. These are all technical bits of blood that I don't fully understand, but obviously what they're trying to do is get them into the various components, inject them into him, maybe in different spots of the body, and it's going to repair the cells and it's going to give a flushing and a cleansing on the inside. This is his mission, basically, is that he's just been trying to tone himself into an immortal by just keeping the body younger and younger.
Starting point is 00:33:32 He hasn't heard of the antigratron then. Exactly. This guy. I mean, this sounds like a good one. Is he taking blood from his 17-year-old son? Yeah, so that's this latest bit because of this thing. Oh, he coming here, boy. Oh, no. Yeah, I know. It's Monday. You know what you got to do.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Yeah. Hook yourself up to me. Here we go. Oh, dear. I've always felt dizzy after this. I might be glad going to you. Gosh, you don't need it. I'm the one who's going to live forever, mate. Did it have been you heard of that time to travel machine,
Starting point is 00:34:03 out there, is it? Can you just go over there? I've had enough time to travel, out that there's a can you just go time to travel mate? You know me I'm a billionaire Just can you just buy the integrity or something? I'm not sitting in there listening to nothing. Oh, that's a boring And anyway, I'm gonna give my blood to your granddad. You know how it works You know how it works? I get bored. He's like, give me a get two. Oh, well, he's just about fucking dead.
Starting point is 00:34:27 He's 109, but he's still rocking. He's got the blood of 108 year olds. So he's doing quite well. It's pretty insane when you think about what he's doing here, because he's going off a story that was in 2005 where scientists at Berkeley, they injected younger blood into mice. So this is an experiment that's been on mice.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And it did show that after five weeks, the muscles of the old mice who were older healed as quickly as those that a young mouse would have, and they'd grown new liver cells at the rate of a youthful mouth. So like, it was working. It was working in mice. So his thinking is, I'm not going to have time to wait for it to work on humans after all these experiments I'm going to be the guinea pig myself and so that's what he's done So two million a year he's putting into this and he's just going to continue going
Starting point is 00:35:15 It was at rocker that used to do blood transfusions. Oh, who's that? It was in the stones. Wasn't it one of the rolling stones? Is it Keith? Yeah, yeah, and he was, yeah, he was, yeah. He was, yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And he was, yeah, he was, yeah. He was, yeah, he was, yeah. He was, yeah, he was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. He was, yeah. I have heard assume that the entire Rolling Stones are all vampires now. You know, I think about these guys that want to live forever and I used to sort of think about that as well.
Starting point is 00:35:50 But that as you get older and I'm surprised this guy hasn't got to it as well, you kind of think I get what life is, I've seen what it's like here. I wonder what the next journey would be like and the adventure of when you die like everyone else, because we're supposed to, something else is definitely going to happen after that. And you're stopping yourself from seeing that, you know, and you're going to watch all your friends die and all that kind of stuff. That's the old adage with being a vampire, the downside, that and the giant fucking collars, which you don't get in the way.
Starting point is 00:36:22 But like, I don't know, I guess he's, you know, it's just, this dude's got so much money, he's putting it in the wrong place itself. Well, I just did. It got statistical maniac. Yeah. Well, I'm not the world's best mathematician. Well, in fact, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:39 It's disappointing. Hey, hey, buttons, that doesn't add up. Oh, but I've seen you calculate it. You were playing that boxing game at the time. It's just like fighting bootless. Yeah, bootless. Ah! Yeah, you did bootless also, Shell Oil.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Shell Oil, I did Shawnee Oil too, yeah. Thank you. Got a kid's down in the sand, where we were talking about. Yeah, you don't understand yeah, yeah, thank you. Got a kid sound in the sandwich, we're talking about. Yeah, you don't understand now, do your kids. I think we're cool, bit of luck that up. I think I read boxing calculators, that's all. Yeah, that's a lot of boxing. We calculated a boxing game.
Starting point is 00:37:15 That was, oh man, if you had one of those games, you were cool, you were so cool. But by my maths, apparently $1 Yeah. To a normal person is like $1355 to a billionaire. So a billionaire could drop $1355 and it would be like dropping a dollar note for a normal person. And you're like, should I pick that $1,000 up?
Starting point is 00:37:41 So that means for $2 million a year, if my math is right, and it's probably not, that treatment for him, pick your... Cover. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan is yawning. Okay, let's move on to my story. No, it's $1476 a year. It's like a normal person going, for me to change my blood out all year long,
Starting point is 00:38:09 it's $1476, which swapping your blood out for you and your son and your dad is a billion year you'd go, well of course I'll pay for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, yeah. I think there was always rumors that the queen did it as well. Oh, no, she did it with Rick Tillyons.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah, so I don't know what bit of that story is fake if she did it or the whole Justin wrote Tillyons bit, or if it's all fake. But yeah. Okay, who's next? Well, I tried to use the vampire bit to try and transition over and then I got into meth, so I'm sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Well, vampires love counting. That's the big thing about vampires. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. So it was a good link. Thank you, thank you. counting. That's the big thing about numbers. Oh, yes. Oh, oh, oh, oh. So it was a good link. Thank you. Thank you. And talking about numbers, 450 headless vampire skeletons were found.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Wow. 450. That's amazing. So a mass grave packed with hundreds of suspected vampires has been discovered by workers digging up a road in Poland. And this is from the daily express. Road workers made the Grimm and Mysterious Discovery in the small town of Luzino in the northeast,
Starting point is 00:39:12 many of which had been found decapitated and posed in strange positions. Oh, wait. Pazali, some were found with their skulls placed between their legs and a coin in their mouths. Oh, but that's kind of, that's an old thing. That's an old thing. Yeah, that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Yeah, well, what was that? That was ancient Egypt so that they can, they can use that money to pass through to the other side, because you've got to play the boatman. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah, yeah. Something like that. So, I can see that being a thing. If I hear you yawning at you,
Starting point is 00:39:46 I'll stop it. How do you, how do you stop it? You've just had a little sleep too. He's a like, you know, you need lock jaws. If you feel yourself yawning, you go fully out and then you sort of do something like this. Oh, the sunset's in my... And then no one... Suttle. Yeah. No one notices. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I'll do that next time. Alright. So, here we go. Mouths with coins in. A practice. Oh, how'd XX explain this for you? I should have read this earlier. But with a career like mine, you haven't got time. I haven't worked in five months. A practice that was common in the region
Starting point is 00:40:38 during the 19th century and was believed to remove the vampire curse. So that's actually different for what I was saying. Archaeologist Stromsky said, we discovered examples of belief in the dead returning from their grave, which could only be stopped by decapitation. It was believed that if a member of the deceased's family died shortly after the funeral,
Starting point is 00:41:01 then he or she could be a vampire. Therefore, after burial, the grave was dug up, and the deceased's head was cut off, which was then placed in their legs. We also discovered an example of a woman after decapitation. The skull of a child was laid on her bosom. He added that around 30% of the graves uncovered
Starting point is 00:41:22 researchers had also found bricks placed next to the skeleton's legs, arms and heads. Just last year, a woman who had been suspected of amperism was discovered with a sickle pinning her throat to the ground and a padlock on the toe of her left foot at a village cemetery in Pian in South Eastern Poland. Wow. Wow. Crazy stuff here guys. Yeah, it's, so what they just recently dug up all of them and basically it's a vampire graveyard. Yeah. That's what we're saying.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Next slide, yeah. Well, you know, the vampire hunting and the belief in vampires has been a very, very real thing. You can actually, if you go online and have a look there, like turn of the century, and even older, vampire hunting kits that you can buy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. One sold not that long ago, it was the Lord Haley,
Starting point is 00:42:15 a British Baron, Malcolm Haley, and his vampire slaying kit sold for 13,000 pounds. And it had like a candle stick, crucifixers, pistols with silver bullets, wooden stakes, all that kind of stuff, rosemary beads, and it was a very real thing. They used to have these kits because the belief in it was very real. And if you have a look here, here's the kit that was for sale and I could think of nothing better. Oh, that's cool. To have line around your house. So cool.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Like, it's spooky as hell. It is. And it's almost worth $13,000. I'm just saying, we've got a backpack that cost about that much. I'm just looking at it. I mean, you know, I'm just saying, if we came across another one.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Add to the museum. Exactly. Hey, check this out. Records of undead myths in Eastern Europe date back as far as the 11th century. But in some regions, the myths were so widely believed that they caused hysteria among the people. Imagine being living in those days when these kind of things were what you actually really fear.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Yeah, no one's in that. There was no this and that. No communication wasn't a big thing, you had no idea what was in the next village, and then it was all like word of mouth of absolute evil freak stuff. Oh yeah. And it says here,
Starting point is 00:43:36 your hysteria was often caused with the people believing in this. This led to many accusations of vampirism against those who died in an untimely fashion. So people suddenly, I, guy was only 31. And he died? Yeah, also, particularly by suicide. People that had died by suicide, they thought that'd be a vampire.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Because it can understand why someone would kill himself. Yeah, yeah, I guess. And so decapitation meant you can't come back. It's the same thing I would do. Take the head off and then. Like the zombie kind of thing, you take the head off, you can't, you can't come back. It's basically like, take the head off. Like the zombie kind of thing. You take the head off, you can't, you can't, you can't think. There used to be a thing where a lot of people would ask
Starting point is 00:44:10 for their head to be chopped off post death because they were worried that they would wake up buried alive in a casket. So yeah, it was a kind of a guarantee that you're not gonna come back. The great clown, Joseph Gramoldi, his dad had that. His dad was like begged, please cut my head off after I'm gone. I don't want to wake up.
Starting point is 00:44:29 You know what, in the same reason they had the little bells on the tombstones with a string going down into the casket. Yes. In case you woke up with the sausage pipe. Would you like to bring us out of the statness with your right news? Well, I got voice. Because I'm going to be skiing here'm I'm drinking red wine.
Starting point is 00:44:46 It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's a good point. I'm glad you said with my light news because to be honest, my two headlines and not that light about, you know, brain, computer, and the world. I wanted to put it out there that I changed my new stories because it is getting dark
Starting point is 00:45:06 and I did have a couple of other slightly related new stories which I should have gone with and I knew I should have gone with but I was just freaking out about AIs and robots and stuff and so I went down that way. You should have done that. Exactly. Exactly. But I'm now going to change gears. Those are the ones they speak for themselves.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Open AI, robots, whatever. There's a new ice cream flavor. There's a flavor. Is that it? That's it. Oh, you got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it.
Starting point is 00:45:34 You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it.
Starting point is 00:45:42 You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it, you got it. You got it. Nope, here we go. Here is the first news story, which is terribly exciting. Yeah. It is. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:45:50 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:45:58 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. can't wait. Great, awesome. First news story, dead birds get new life.
Starting point is 00:46:07 New Mexico research. Oh, that was a worrying start, but quickly found its way back. It's first two words. I was like, oh no, not again. They haven't had the heads coming. Yes. They're not gonna be vampires.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Everybody is excited. Dead birds get new life. New Mexico researchers develop taxidermy bird drones. Oh, what the hell? So there is a new BXC reviewist, I have taken taxidermy birds and turned them into drones. This is not a light story. Look at these cool-ass birds. I don't know what I think of that. Okay, that's gonna be freaky.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Come on, it's a light. We've taken the ambitions of humanity to another level. Oh, fuck, no, I think that's horrible. No, come on, they're doing it, you know why they're doing it. Imagine, because they can. Oh my god, and no head. That picture you just showed us had no head. Head no head, exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Mo but the real vampire birds. The wow, it may actually be not so great, because the reason why they're doing it is to send these drone birds into flocking and migrating birds to be able to research other birds. That's not a good idea. Imagine you're flying in the sky and Auntie Marg suddenly appears next year. I was like, I was like, three weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I'm feeling hot. I'm feeling hot. I'm going to be dead. Ah. Mmm. Come on. How cute is that in part of magic? That's not a real bird there. I'm like, I'll be back! Ah! Mmm! Come on. How cute is that in better measure? But that's not a real bird there.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Well, no, these are the ones I built. But it's fascinating. It's fascinating, but like, that is turning the natural world to somewhere scary. Well, it is. It is. Yes, it is. It is. Because what that suggests, and you were gonna talk about AI and kind of all
Starting point is 00:48:03 robotic stuff, that in the future, when we do die, and you were going to talk about AI and kind of all robotic stuff, that in the future, when we do die, and we've downloaded all of our tweets and chat GPT can work out how Dan Shriver would talk in any situation, you'd taxi-dermy me, and then I'm still here rocking up to the podcast in this. In this sack of sugar meat. Yeah. Sitting down. Hello, everybody. I'm Dan. Oh, remember me?
Starting point is 00:48:30 I have a fact for you. Ha, ha, ha. It's like it's, it's, it's uncanny hell incredibly similar. It's listen to him. That sounds exactly the same. My new book is coming out. My sack and book. It took me a while to write the second book.
Starting point is 00:48:46 But it's called, yeah, you heard it here. Third, my restarter. I'm so glad that we can now code the Yorns out of you. This is really the one benefit of any of you as an AI drawing, thank you. The funny thing is, is that the institute that had been doing it is the new Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:15 So I don't know how these birds are going to help with mining, but you need a canary. Well, oh, Taxi-Dermed Canary, genius in the mind. I mean, there's something more so poetic about Taxi-Dermed Birds, canary genius in the mind. I mean, this is something also poetic about taxidermy birds finally lifting up into the sky. I don't know how often you guys go into a taxidermy store. For me, it's quite often. And.
Starting point is 00:49:35 It's not, but now, again, you do see it, and they're freaky. I like going in and seeing freaky stuff. And you think, oh, these must be a dying art. Why are people still taxiderm these must be a dying out. Why are people still texting me? Literally a dying out. Mr. Darwin literally is a dying out. No I get it I get it. I mean a people buying these, I mean how many people coming in and going, oh I wouldn't mind an old frigate bird from the 1920s sort of midflight, with a massive red gullet.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Definitely black-spotted wings, if possible. Well, I'm just over here! Hey, Stamma Fah! Mr. Terby! Oh, thank you! Oh, my God, a young baby alligator, if you interested, which is just coming out of a tree stump. No, I didn't ask for that. I don't know why you would offer me that. there's got no affiliation to what I've asked for
Starting point is 00:50:28 That's just on special I just I'm trying to push things there today two for two hundred Okay, fuck it. Oh, give me the alligator I mean who's buying these things and I think that these things who I think are now not only stuffed But also just stuffed because they're sitting in a shop. Yeah, and they used to be living thing But imagine putting an engine on them and throwing them and I'll think go again and they're flying and there's something Cameras on them through the eye holes so you can see where it's going and flying with it. It is not until you see terrible taxidermy, though, that you realize the true art of taxidermy.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I know, it's terrible taxidermy. I've said that my friend has a parent. Have you seen terrible taxidermy? I've seen examples of it, but you guys took an L.A. Instagram. It's like an L.A. Yeah, it's a ride. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:51:21 And I imagine it is hard. You're taking the structure of the animal away. I don't even know how it's done, but it's... And of course all museums around the world have got taxi-driven animals in them. You know, that's still a thing. And I felt like we should be at a point now where we're going, okay, we should probably just get rid of this.
Starting point is 00:51:38 It does feel ancient, but still, I remember as a kid, one of my favorite things was going through the Auckland Museum and the animals section. And that's what they look like. They've got the same here at the Natural History Museum in LA. They're clearly taxi-dermed but you never see them otherwise unless you go to those places. The one in New York, I love that one where they have the dioramas and they're actually sent artists to go and sit there and paint the background and then I'll bring these taxi-dermed animals back and have the actual scene set up with trees
Starting point is 00:52:08 and all that kind of stuff in the painted background. Have you seen those? Unbelievable. I love a good diorama. Yeah, oh, yeah. You know that. There's a museum in South London, which is called the Horniman, and it's got a small quirky museum. They were given a walrus,
Starting point is 00:52:25 but they sort of were given the skin of the walrus. So it was basically inflate your own walrus, right? But it was a real one. But of course, back in the day, if you hadn't seen a walrus, you don't know how much taxidomi to like build it up and up. And so, having never seen one, they didn't realize that walrus
Starting point is 00:52:42 has just have lots of wrinkles and lots of folding fats and so on. Right. So they just went full, full, full, full, full. Oh, no. They haven't changed it. It's just this ginormous Warruss where the skins really been pushed to the limits.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And no wrinkles, just some moves. Oh, I know. I know. And I was thinking of wrong like that. They think that'll be it. Yeah, God's jolly. The kids will take that. We'll take that. We'll take that.
Starting point is 00:53:05 The only other little bit of news very fast and I just found this article as a potential way for us to get Belgium. Oh, where I've just been. Oh, you've just been to Belgium. Yeah. Have you heard of it? Where cryptic factors big. It turns out. It turns out.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Oh, yeah. Why went to this festival with my other podcast? There's no such thing as a fish and we were doing a show there and as soon as I get there This guy sees me and he goes oh my god. Oh my god. It's Dan Schreiber And I thought oh, okay, no such thing as a fish. He goes off the cryptid factor How is recent buttons and Outbell gem ten more times this festival everyone was going. I love the I love Belgium. 10 more times, this festival. Everyone was going, I love the cryptid factor.
Starting point is 00:53:47 It was amazing. I asked so many people saying it, so we're big in Belgium. Hello Belgium, Belgium! Hello Belgium! Hello Belgium! Yes, you guys, also Kevin De Bruyne, the brainers footballers on the planet.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Oh, you're very well-tuned. Oh, Tentan? Yeah, yes. What are your favorites? Yeah, exactly. Look, if you want us to favourites. Yeah, exactly. So, look, if you want us to play Belgium, please contact us. We're going to need more than three people telling us we're great.
Starting point is 00:54:11 But if there's hundreds, we might be able to fill a theatre. Yeah, absolutely. I remember the artist as a New Zealand artist who was nobody back in New Zealand. He would bust on the streets playing guitar. Unbelievably huge in Singapore. And he would go over to Singapore, sell it to massive sold out stadiums. And what have you come back home to New Zealand, total nobody. That could be us.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Wow. We just were landing, Belgium's on name towns after us. Yeah. We'll have statues up. Yeah. We'll just be massive in Belgium. Well it's like old Knight Rider in Germany. Oh really?
Starting point is 00:54:44 Yeah, you know. Knight Rider's big in Germany. That's a half. That's a half. Absolutely. Yeah, he's the biggest thing, the half. Oh the half, yeah. Of course he's got him.
Starting point is 00:54:52 He's probably the heritage with the name, but yeah, after Bikini-Klad beach show. Oh yeah, beach show. Yeah, he could do it. So, Bama. Legally can't name. Oh, no, you can't. You're not done it.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Sorry. You know done it. Sorry. You know, then he sort of concentrated his career, shifted to him being a music superstar in Germany. Well, he claims that he's responsible for the reason the Berlin Wall came down. He does too. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:55:19 What? He does about that. Well, I don't fully know. I just know that he's not only big for his acting, but he's a musician. Yeah. And so he did a gig there of something where the lyric was about sort of, you know, taking charge or, you know, and he says that not long afterwards, the war goes down. And if you go to the museum, there's like the Berlin War Museums there.
Starting point is 00:55:35 There's a huge picture of him there and he's part of the story. So it's acknowledged that he's in some way part of it. I don't think... Well, it's based on the frequency of his tone when he hits a certain note. Oh, but it's a crack. It took the water down. Wow. It was like a massive thing. I think I've got a recording of it here. Here it is.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I have you. Oh, it's so touching! Hurry! Oh, it's good asry! Oh, he's got his wantson burr! LOOOOO! Was it? Oh, Zavol has gone down! And it's only now that they listen to this podcast
Starting point is 00:56:20 they realize that he was terribly bored over there. It's just trying to desperately not to yaw on all the time. Oh my god, I just gotta get out of this place. Yeah, well, to be fair, he does say I had nothing to do with bringing down the Berlin Wall. I sang a song about freedom, it just happened to be number one when the wall came down. So everyone's put that two together.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Oh, the song about freedom, wall goes down. Mandelrafic, let me take care of it. Exactly. Anyway, the song about freedom, wall goes down. Mandelrafic, little tech here. But anyway, the reason or the, at least the ability that we are going to be able to get to Belgium. Oh, yes. So, the up to the point is exactly a tiniest link to robotic birds, drone taxidermy birds. Yeah. will be this race. Can you give us the sound of a seagull? Right there is our ticket to Belgium. Because Belgium Town organizes seagull imitation championship. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen it. Yeah yeah yeah. Here we go. Yeah. The town is called Dapan. It's a little coastal town and they've been getting sick of the Seagulls but they suddenly stopped and kind of gone, why does everybody hate the Seagulls? They need better
Starting point is 00:57:36 PR. So what they've decided to do is have a championship for doing Seagull limitations and so there's a few little limitationsitations in page. Well, you should because listen to this. These are the ones that were... Oh, there they are. Wow, that's a human. That's a human. Oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Sounds like somebody's crying at the moment. So it's becoming a really big thing. Everybody's really enjoying it. They don't like the noisy birds but they're trying to give them some bit of peace. I did the contest like four years ago for the first time 2019 and it's just behind the podium back then so I actually came in with the plan to get to get the podium and actually did it. So that was the winner. So it turns out I thought it was just new, but it's been going for three years.
Starting point is 00:58:29 That was the third year running. I would love to compete in that. You would be great. Listen to me. You'd be amazing. You're our ticket and me being your manager, your Seagull impersonation manager, I feel I need to come along.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I'm glad. What are you going to do? I definitely coming along to that. You're going to be the support crew, what are you going to do? I definitely am. You're going to be the support crew, or you're going to be the coach. Oh, no, I have a bash at the... Oh, it's competition! The voice. You guys are going to go against each other.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Well, sometimes you need, you know, that whole idea of why not have a pedestrian lane at the Olympics to show how fast these people are really running by just a normal human. So, wow, or the swimming lane. I never heard that, but yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah, there's a push that all the sports in the Olympics should incorporate someone who's not good at it,
Starting point is 00:59:12 just to really show us how good the good people are at it. I see. That's what I'd be for Reese. I like that. I'd come there. I'd do my crap Seagull. You'd see how hard it is. I imagine if the person that you chose
Starting point is 00:59:24 to be the random average normal person, just turns out to be a freak of nature and amazing and they win it. And they're just like, Wow, what a story. That's really like amazing. They don't represent any country, they're just there as the,
Starting point is 00:59:37 like the, you know, just a lot of rest of the world. Yeah. I love these competitions that happen now where it's like Seagull Colling and all that sort of stuff. I'm gonna play you a very quick clip and see if you can guess what this competition is that people are competing in. I haven't heard this yet, so it's quite possible that it's given away in the video, but hopefully not, so here we go. Let's see if you guys can guess what this is.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Oh Sorry, sorry, okay here we go Hurry up, I don't want to be late. I don't want to be late to the great Iowa State Fair! Bob Hurrie! Hurrie! Bob! Robert! Did! That's it! I'm going by myself. APPLAUSE What?
Starting point is 01:00:34 And so there's a competition. That's one of the entries to the competition. Is it impressions of your mother? Gukku, gukku, the clock says, I don't want to hear it. Is that impressions of cookie clocks? Is that just... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE But newer covered, former TANT! I'm supposed to call him for dinner! DARRELL! DARRELL DARRELL is ready!
Starting point is 01:01:32 DARRELL! Is it some kind of an annual... Shall I tell you? What is it? The annual husband calling contest. No! Wives! Wives just have to, in front of an audience, show how they would call their husband.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Who's out in the yard. Nice. This happens in Iowa. The 2017, I believe, competition. We would just list the event. Just one quick question. Yeah. Have you been there before?
Starting point is 01:02:02 Were there any security guards or anything that were into the cryptid factor? Was there any way we could get it? or anything that were into the cryptid factors anyway? I'm gonna play the winner quickly. Oh, that's nice. Roo-ee! Can you hear me? You get yourself in here right now! Come on! You know you're gonna be late again and you know that I want to get there on time.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Roy! Roy, Roy, Roy, Roy! When I first started... That's amazing! Oh, my God! It's like you calling your pussycat. Well, it's also, but like the sketch, when my wife's calling me,
Starting point is 01:02:42 I think... Oh, yeah. So there's a combination. I do a sketch where she's calling me out Oh yeah. So there's a combination. I do a sketch where she's calling me out and she because she never leaves the room that she's in to call me. I'm somewhere else on the house and so she just yells it out and I can just hear this muffled thing of my name from like three different rooms away. Kind of like um I think it's three different rooms away, kind of like R be calling your wife, which will be very different over here.
Starting point is 01:03:32 You know, you could be very careful with that one. Yeah, very, very. And then calling your pets, I think, would be my great segment. Well, that would be a great segment because you give your animals quite often strange names. Yeah. Like many people have found, you call your cat a really weird name, or you let your kids name your cats. Yeah. And then you've got to yell into the neighborhood this very awkward name.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Yeah. And then you have to scream it because otherwise the cat's not going to hear you. Mr. Sausage lags. Yeah. Mr. Sausage lagags! Yeah, yeah. Mr. Sausage Lags! Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:04:08 These tools. What? What do you want? Yeah, put it there. Put it there. Yeah, if I put this out, he'll come running. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it's not doing.
Starting point is 01:04:19 That's fantastic. I'd love to go and sort of like see that as well. Yeah, yeah. I want to go to some of these crazy competitions and be part of them and I mean, there's competitions for everything. Yeah. Unusual crazy stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:33 It's just fun. There's cell phone throwing. Is it? Yeah, there's a competition of throwing cell phones over the anger and stuff. Air guitar is becoming a genuinely. Oh, I know, yeah. That's a bit of a touch.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, which is amazing. I'd like to know if I'd be quite good at that... Oh, I know you're out of the business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is amazing. I like that. I thought I'd be quite good at that one too, I think. Yeah. You'd excel at all of these fringe competitions. We had fringe mimic competitions. You're built for it. I should do a show, actually.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Yeah. I should submit and I was going to say it, but I should do a great, great, great series. I had three series. Well, look at the stuff that is World Championship wife carrying. Oh, yeah. I've met two people in Boston who completed a wife carrying marathon. What?
Starting point is 01:05:13 Marathon! Yeah, they're in the audience. Oh, I say marathon, the race. Right, yeah, I remember actually having a hard time. No, actual marathon, just the... I made it. Yeah. They said we're in the crowd and we were like, you don't do that to you.
Starting point is 01:05:25 And he was like, yeah, and he just as sort of like proof just lifted his wife over his head. Oh my god. It's sort of running around. That's amazing. Yeah, okay, let's do that. Let's make a TV show. You go and compete in all these things. Cell phone throwing, you'll be fantastic.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Let's look at them all up and list them all. Yeah. And basically the idea is I apply, I compete in all of them, or as many as I can in the year, and we just go and film. Yeah. See how well I do. Yeah. Honestly, I'd be great.
Starting point is 01:05:54 There's nail Olympics. What's this? Contest, Stud and Las Vegas. Famous for being... Oh, that's for painting nails. I think so. Must be. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Must be. There's the undertaker's grave digging competition who can dig the grave, the quickest. The fastest, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been pretty good at that one with my digging skills as a soldier. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were talking about it.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Oh, yeah, you've got four hours. We're gonna dig in. Okay, here we go. This is one that you'll be great at. Gurning World Championships. And a Gurne as an English term referring to a facial expression featuring a lower jaw protrusion. Gurning contests are a tradition in England highlighted by the annual Gurning World Championships.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so freaky those things. Honestly, let's, Bob's not going to... I'm not going to draw out that far. Oh, yeah. They're not bad. You never get it with Bob.
Starting point is 01:06:52 You never get it with Bob. There's limits. Never get it, never get it back in. Oh, there's lots of them. There's lots of them. Yeah, okay, let's do that. Okay, well, let's move on to some cryptid news. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:01 We can hit the sack at some point. Yes. Attention. All personnel. It's time for this week's cryptid Okay, what have you guys got? I've actually got one this week and proper one Oh nice Jumpes Why is this one H.E.K.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Because for once I actually have got one see creature Another see creatures, but it's whatever any of you guys got that one. No, that's yummy. Okay, this one is called what the heck is that wildlife officials stumped by mystery sea creature. So footage of something in the water has people perplexed. This is I saw this. Yeah, South Carolina, do you see it? Yeah, I've seen this and it is quite something to behold. Yeah, well, sorry. I should check out the video.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Yeah, let's have a look at the video. Somebody does think they have figured it out what it is, but let's have a little look at it and see it. So this is in a place called Hawley's Island and South Carolina and Danc is gone. He's actually just left. He's just left. He got, he got handled, I think he's too scared. So that wine really made me parched, I can barely,
Starting point is 01:08:10 oh yeah, really? For some reason. Terrible wine. Yeah. And you tapped, you tapped the lid before you, some weed reason, yeah. Yes, yes. To see what you did.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't do that. It starts it from exploding. Yeah, okay, here's the red It's a great sumptuous fact. That's a childhood thing. Someone would have told me as a kid that that's what... Wow. Alright, let's see this video.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Okay, here we go. Okay, over the Memorial Day weekend, a viewer sent our sister station in Charlotte County. Wow. Video of this odd wheat store. That's a bird. I love my neighbor, but it's not. Not too far from Paul Exiling.
Starting point is 01:08:46 The video was forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources. They have no idea what it is. It looks like a bird flapping on the water. And it was forwarded to the marine resources, research, and so on. Yeah, but those aren't wings. They really don't know what it is either. They said it could be a sea slug, but they're really not sure. As you take a look at the video, we don't know what it is either tonight.
Starting point is 01:09:04 How about a desert looks here does that look to you? It looks... It looks to man, maybe bigger. Yeah, bigger size of a duck. So just for those at home, it's a dark figure just under the surface and it has like inverted wings flapping in the water. Yeah. Which feel like they are above the body of the thing
Starting point is 01:09:23 and it looks like it's got a neck almost like a duck. It feels like it's kind of flapping in the water just slightly submerged. So what is it? Well, this is the thing, who do you know, Reese? They believe they've figured it out, but even the names they've given make you go, well, I've never heard of that.
Starting point is 01:09:41 So why don't you reveal the two things that you think is? So this person, a meteorologist has figured it out, I don't know how meteorologist figures it out, but he said that it is either a critic called a C here, this person, Panavitch said, like the rabbit here, or a sea slug. And he said they can be pretty large, they do swim in the water like that.
Starting point is 01:10:04 The only thing is they're not typically found in waters of South Carolina. Okay. Stop there because that's the point I got to where I thought, okay, so even if this is a classified animal, it is still encrypted because that's not in the place it has to be. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:18 It's out of place. They're not found in the waters of South Carolina. And it's more of a Florida and West coast things. Any listeners are from Florida or the West coast, you may know what these things are. But he noted that there have been sightings as far north as Wilmington North Carolina. Overlaid.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Okay. Which may well be a global warming thing, right? A lot of animals are moving. Yes, the water gets warmer. The sea slugs seem to be moving further north. That's right. It does go show though. Like, isn't it interesting?
Starting point is 01:10:50 You get really clear footage like that. It's not like some kind of murky, lute-a-thing. Yeah, it's a genuine creature. Yeah. Filmed, very close up. So if you wanna have a look at this video, highly recommend checking out. This is on half-post.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Yeah. Under weird stuff, I would say. Weird stuff, in the... So they haven't caught it. It's sort of... No. They filmed it. And... Yeah, they go. And so cool, but we haven't seen it since, is the idea, right?
Starting point is 01:11:14 Yeah, and well, there's no other thing that I tried to do is try to look for some footage of a sea here to see if, oh, it looks the same and swans the same. I can't find anything that looks exactly the same as that. So it does look a bit sluggier. It does look, it depends how big it is. Again, there was no real, somebody needed to put a matchbox down next to it,
Starting point is 01:11:36 so we could see what size it was. With the size matter. Yeah, really. I think so. It's always good to have a size, because I, I'm an, have you seen C slugs? Yeah, I have a big thing. They can be quite big. Yeah, they're quite an odd thing and you can pick them up and stuff and you think it just looks like a fake, weird jelly thing. It does. Yeah, it's swimming about in the, for me, I came across a lot of them in the
Starting point is 01:12:00 shallows of the beaches in VG when I was over there. Right. Right. When the tide was out and this inlet that was right next to the village we were staying in, it was kind of freaky. You picked them up and Finnewell remember actually because he was there. And I was scared. He was a stop listening. He's awake, but he's a stop listening. I was scaring him with them.
Starting point is 01:12:19 But talking about scary things, remember like urban myths and things like that. Yeah, always go, oh yeah, that really happened. It was a nice start. Kind of a thing. So an urban myth that used to freak people out is that they were alligators living in the sewers. Do you remember this?
Starting point is 01:12:35 Yeah. The New York, right? Yeah, New York. Yeah. Well, this myth has actually come true. No. Yeah, city workers find out the truth in a jaw-dropping video that has been posted on the New York Post site.
Starting point is 01:12:53 And I can show you right here this was seen in a sewer. What? What? Tell me what that is. Oh my god. Oh. An alligator or it's a drone oven alligator Yeah, because it turns out
Starting point is 01:13:16 And I think the batteries run out just as it comes out of the stump and it gets And then they cut the stump off and they sold it to me as a two-for-one Wow and then they cut the stump off and they sold it to me as a 2 for 1. Oh, amazing. Wow. So just the article itself says, a work crew proved the New York City Urban Legend was a sunshine state reality after discovering an eight, I say that again, five foot gator. That's right folks, a two foot gator was found residing in a sludge-filled pipe. Actually eight-foot. Nope, it was five. Or was it two? I'm guessing.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Well did somebody have a matchbox next to it? No, just here is one of those in the sewer by any chance. So footage of the Scaly Subterranean Terror is currently stirring up Crap Storm on the City of Aveda City Administration Facebook page. Just another reason not to go wandering down into the store-bought-a-pipes. A spokesperson said of the new Underground Sensation, which was spotted Friday during a routine pothole inspection. A public works team had dispatched a robot. Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Oh, yeah. So, this beginning... See, was it... He cooked with a camera and an alligator costume covering it. To the chest. To the root of why a cluster of craters kept appearing on the road above. Well, what was it? How was the alligator making creases on the road above from the Soap? No, no, no, no, it's just nothing to do with it. They were investigating that and then they happened to it. I thought that I'd say that the powerful tails smacking the pipe was on me like that.
Starting point is 01:14:55 The team came across a five-foot alligator. The mortifying moment was captured on video and so that's what I've just showed these leads here. So it's really like something out of a sci-fi film. Well all that we need now is therefore to be a toxic waste spillage into that source system. Oh yeah. And then a couple of turtles in there as well. And a rat all getting infected. And we've got teenage mutant Ninja Turtles happening for real. So I'm really excited about that, huge news. Yeah. So it was most likely an unwanted pest whose owners had decided to release it into the public waters. Is that horror idea of an alligator coming up and biting it on the ass through the toilet
Starting point is 01:15:40 to never get up those pipes? Yeah. But you know, if they send more than one down there and they can have babies and stuff, little tiny alligators can crawl up, more sorts of things. So watch out, people in New York! Protect your anuses. We didn't need that last bit. What was it, check your anuses?
Starting point is 01:16:00 Protect your anuses. Protect your anuses. But also check them because if you haven't noticed, it could just like be sneaky one, and then if you don't check, it might be one just there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mind my mind more I said in the morning, who was checking your bum cases alligator in there
Starting point is 01:16:15 before you go to school? Yeah. Yeah. Just in the context, everybody, it is, it's 20 past midnight, and we're in a little air B&B and Los Angeles and there is a couple of empty bottles of wine and An empty packet of Capri Caramilk. It's been a hell of a party guys
Starting point is 01:16:37 So I can't say enough how much fun. Okay last story here. Yeah big cat Okay, last story here. Yeah. Big Cat, seen in the UK. Oh, yes. In Woodland near Gloucestershire border, by BBC presenter Claire Bolding. Oh. So this is a truly interesting one.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Isn't that amazing that you say TV presenter for BBC and you instantly go, no, that's a real thing now. That's a real thing. If it was a lawyer or a policeman or something. You'd go, yeah, cool, cool. Yeah. I don't know about they still might be doing. I think a BBC news presenter. Oh, it's a legit thing. Yeah. It's a legit thing.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Yeah. So isn't that TV presenters? But they Trump lawyers. Not only that, you boys won't know who Claire Bolding is because you're not living in the UK. No. No. Claire Bolding is one of the household names of the UK. She's our presenter for sports. She presents the Olympics. She'll do any sort of major event. She is thunderously famous in the UK.
Starting point is 01:17:36 So this is a big deal. So this is a big deal because what it was is that she was out in Gloucestershire and she was doing a radio episode of a show that she does. During audio, which has been released on things like TikTok, you can hear her saying, it's disappeared completely, hasn't it? It's gone off into the wood and it disappeared. And she says, I should point out that I never knew that there were stories of big, black cats.
Starting point is 01:17:57 So when I saw it, I didn't even say to you, look, I just thought, oh, look, as into the person that she's talking to. But she was like, that was a massive, massive cat. I've not seen a cat that big before. So there's a lot of stuff coming out at the moment, as we know, about big cats. The DNA proof. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:14 And she said, I saw it. I saw it really clearly sitting here. I've seen a black cat here, the size of our rot wiler. Wow. The size of a wiler. Yeah, exactly. So she's got perception. Sorry. Sorry. The size of a rockwiler. Yeah, exactly. So she's got perception. Sorry, that was who she was interviewing.
Starting point is 01:18:28 So she was interviewing someone about these cats. Oh, she sees one herself. Yeah. That's amazing. Oh, sit here. She saw one while she was interviewing people. It sounds like it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:40 So she's out there in the field. She's out there in the field just doing a news report with someone who claims to have seen it. And then she sees one. Yeah. Wow. Oh, hey, no, man, there's one there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Wow. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. Flying cats! Holy smoke! Remember a while ago when drones were first out, there was that guy that taxidermied a cat
Starting point is 01:19:34 and turned his drone into his cat and flew his taxidermied cat around with his drone. We covered that on, we covered that on again. It is, yeah. It's getting so dark, yeah. Yeah. But anyway that on, we covered that on again. Yes, it's getting so dark. Yeah. But anyway, so yeah, there was all these cases. And now one of the legit sightings belongs to Claire Boulding, this household they, who, imagine if she now just quit
Starting point is 01:19:57 so career becomes a cryptosool, the just trying to hide his doubt. I love it. And the hardest thing about, we know these things are out there. ABCs are real, the evidence is there. It's building up like a snowball. It's going to the point where you haven't seen one of these animals. You're like, oh, I haven't seen a big cat.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Yeah, they're out there. And I think the next step is deciding what to do with them. Yeah. Because they're so hard to get. Yeah. There's a safety aspect of them with children and everything running around. So there's going to have to be teams of people that can perhaps collect them.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Could them out? Yeah, because livestock is going to go down and all that kind of stuff. Where do they live? Whether they're population sizes. Yeah, they're predators. They will attack their prey in the night. They all they want.
Starting point is 01:20:41 But I think it's pretty cool knowing that there's a danger out there like that. Yes, it's like the old days. Yeah. Back in the days when people were dying of mysterious deaths and then people were thinking, oh, these are vampires, they've better cut their heads off before we put them. You know, it's like, it's kind of- It's one of the reasons-
Starting point is 01:20:55 Which is our big thing. Yeah. We're turning back the clock. We are. And it's one of the biggest reasons why so many mythological monsters were invented, right? Because there were so many parts of the world that hadn't been explored and the fear of the unknown was what kept people from exploring and pushing out there
Starting point is 01:21:15 and what have you. And therefore, they would make these mythological monsters in their heads to represent the danger of going somewhere where you hadn't been before. Don't go down there. Exactly, but this is now actual monsters in the bushes around. And people are like, don't go walking at night. There's a panther, literally a panther out there somewhere.
Starting point is 01:21:33 And then you watch the lady of the BBC, she's so one. Exactly. The other day. Exactly. Just quickly, I just have to remind you of this picture of the cat. Oh, man, that's real. The taxidermy cat. That's a taxidermy cat yeah Taxidermy cat yeah anyway
Starting point is 01:21:55 Wow that what what guys like I said at the beginning I did come from another dimension. Oh, yeah, and It was really bizarre because You guys told me that basically I'm a original dimensional. Mm-hmm. So things don't make sense to me because the things that happen to you are from Mandela effect, Butterfly effect, altered. And so I'm a singularity guy, so my things are original. And I don't know how I got to your dimension, I think I got flicked over there in a storm. And a storm!
Starting point is 01:22:24 What kind of a storm were you in? Stay out of those storms, man. I meant your storm. She's a dimensional storm. And dimensional weather tonight. Now just watch out. There's a great big 1920s alternate dimension coming through this afternoon. Mr. Daly suggests you stay at home. Take your umbrella out. There's a bloody vortex out there.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Where's your umbrella? Your vortex pramber. I'm number vortex pramber. And for you in the Bahamas, very lucky, there's a what happened if you didn't marry your really annoying husband, alternate reality. So if you get there now, it'll be a wonderful time for you over there. You single again and not with that piece of shit guy. Goodbye, George, you prick.
Starting point is 01:23:11 What? Sadness, though, you will not be eligible to compete in the husband calling competition in that dimension. You'll have to hand back your award. No. No. No. No. No. No. And on that note, I think we're all going to go Hang back your award. TAAA! TAAA! TAAA! TAAA!
Starting point is 01:23:26 TAAA! TAAA! And on that note, I think we're all going to go back to that dimension, because I want to show you guys. Oh! What you guys look like, you were really tall. Remember you? Yeah? With that beautiful, uh...
Starting point is 01:23:38 Chops. Chops. The 50's. Was she like a porn star? No! No, wasn't. But I felt like it was a musician. A musician.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Yeah, it was kind of a rock and roller. Was I a porn star? No, you were kind of more of a circus freak. Listen. Tony, this can't ever look, shall we? Come on, join me, let's go. Shhh. There you go.
Starting point is 01:24:02 He's done that. Oh, what happened? Who's here to say that they've gone? They got it. He's the best. He's the best. He's here to say that they've gone. The printed factor with restarbie and an driver. Oh, this crap. I'm just stupid. Caramel chocolate. Suppose I'll be cleaning all this up then. Not even any more chips left.
Starting point is 01:24:52 I suppose I'll end there. I just have to listen to some real awesome music. I don't know. What am I thinking? Maybe, ah, great new band called Great Big Cow. I've heard about. New single Stephen. New single Wyatt Aubrey, New single Carvin Dale. Give a listen.
