Episode Date: March 4, 2024

Well, here we are in 2024 - and while we wait for Ep88 to become hot enough to drop... we have for you here the second recorded episode to be released first (in typical Cryptid Factor confused fashion!) In it you'll find news of disappearing towers, Uri Geller blowing his own mind by remembering he saw aliens, lots of bugs up a Florida mans nose, a big cat sighted in Scotland and a Big Foot running on the slopes. Also Rhys auditions to be a Frank Phantom, Dans has tales of optical illusions from his front yard, and Buttons is in Melbourne at his very own gun-show. Enjoy!! **TRIGGER WARNING** We talk about bugs up a mans nose... and it's not very pretty.

The Cryptid Factor with Rhys Dabi and Dan Schreiber Hey Google, start a timer for one hour. And we're back! We are... Hey Google, help us record a podcast. We're living in the AI age now now guys. The AI age. Right. Okay.

The AI age. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey Google, help us record a podcast. We're living in the AI age now, now guys. The AI age. Right.

The AI age now, now. Did your Google say, is that a cryptid factor hour, Mr. Dormey? Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh gosh, I hope it hasn't. Set for three human hours. No, we're trying to do a fast run this time, guys. Welcome to 2024. Yes, indeed. Here to do a fast run this time, guys. Welcome to 2024.

Yes, indeed. Here we are back in the game. This is our second episode of the year brought to you first. We're really screwing with people's minds this year. It's a new concept. We need to explain that. We have recorded an episode and this is the next episode we're recording, but we're putting this one out before the first episode that we recorded.

That's right. And we're saying happy new year. It's February 26th, we should add. We suddenly realized that we hadn't done anything completely nonsensical for a while. So we thought, hey, why don't we record an episode, not release it, and then record another one and put it out before the one we released where we said, Happy New Year. Yeah, I can't wait for people to get their Happy New Year around March sometime. Or be it the second Happy New Year from us. So yeah, just briefly, the other reason is because there's something in the first show, which is now the second show, which is an exclusive to the world.

And it's something that we cannot release yet. I believe you have something to say buttons. Yeah. Wow. We've got, we've got. This is your big Snoop Dogg moment. Oh, Snoop. This is a Snoop Dogg moment. Okay. Well, we've got something that we wanna drop, but it's not hot yet. Now, hang on, how does it go?

Drop it like it's not hot. You do it, Dan. You do it, we'll eat it now. How did I? I just don't wanna be associated with it at all, so I'm gonna... I knew he was gonna learn it. No, okay, no, okay, no, it's like,

we've got something to drop, but we've gotta wait until it's hot, but it's not yet. It's not hot enough yet, yeah. That's good, that's good. Is that right? No, you just got to wait until it's hot but it's not yet. It's not hot enough yet. Yeah. That's good. That's good. No, you just got to worry. It's simmering. Yeah, just the sort of the way you say things I think. Yeah. Yeah, so that'll land. It's basically something we're dropping in the next ep. It's huge. We can't do it yet. So in the meantime, we're back. The reason we've taken so long is because we did that one a long time ago. Like for us, I'm talking, whoo, it might have even have been in January, actually.

But we haven't been able to drop it because there's something in there that's a world exclusive. So right now, here's EPP2 in brackets, EPP1. And where are we? Well, we're in our usual places. Oh, except you buttons. No, I'm in lovely Melbourne, Victoria in Australia, and I'm having a lovely time being here for the first time in my life. Really? Really? You haven't been to Melbourne before? Well, actually, that's not true. I did go once when I was 17 years old

to come over to the Phantom of the Opera musical show as a school trip, which is where I fell in love for the very first time. Got my first girlfriend on a trip to Melbourne. We're going to see Phantom of the Opera. It was a big moment. That's a big date. I didn't know you went from New Zealand on a date to see it. Nice.

Well, a school trip date. Yeah. Oh, okay. And then, yeah, yeah, yeah. What, your school paid for this trip? Well, my parents kind of did. It was a big thing, because my parents didn't have a lot of money, but they thought that maybe going to a musical in Australia was...

Might knock some kinsons to the guy. They can't put me on the straight and narrow. So, do you meet a girl? Yeah, on the school trip. And the sad thing is, is I got over here and I ate a pasty. First time I've ever eaten a pasty. Yeah. And I got violently ill from it. And so I lay in bed for the entire trip. Most everybody else is touring around Melbourne and seeing the sights and sounds and going to the theme parks and everything. And this pasty that I ate from like an old mining town,

you know, they have those mining towns where everybody's stressed out. There you go. It'll be really old. How old was the pasty? So you went to an old mining town, an ancient historical site, and found an old pasty and ate it, did you? I now see the errors in my way. It was something of a mistake. It was an old pasty and ate it, did you? I now see the errors in my way. It was something of a mistake. It was an old pasty.

And I missed out on seeing the whole thing, but I came right on the last night when we went to see Fenton, the opera. Oh, good. I see you saw it. Yes, I saw that. That's the only thing I saw of Melbourne. Wait, was it the Michael Crawford version?

Yes. No. Yes. I saw Michael Crawford doing the champion of the opera. Yeah, because it was all that time ago. He was a quiet little boy. That's incredible. What, now?

And I saw it like the original villain, Jack. Slowly and gently, mm-mm, got my arms around you. I had to be the trouble with the music of the night. I would have paid more to go to that version. If he hadn't been doing that version, I would have gone. How is no one's other parody version of him being fragged by playing magic?

Well, yeah, we need to send this audition clip out to Andrew Lloyd-Wever and get that made immediately. That was beautiful. If he would cast me as Frank Spencer doing Phantom of the Opera, I would take that job. Oh, my God. You'd be incredible. And I'm free at the moment. Do you know that?

I don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but Phantom of the Opera, obviously biggie for him. And then Andrew Lloyd Webber started doing other shows. But Starlight Express, one of his biggest shows, which is all about, yeah, I've actually never seen it. Yeah. So that was originally pitched as a Thomas the Tank Engine musical. No. And then, yeah.

And then the rights got taken. He couldn't secure the rights. And so that then morphed into Starlight Express. And if you look at the company name that he has, it's really useful productions or something like that. And really useful is what you call Thomas a tank engine and the other trains on Sodor. You're a really useful engine is what the controller would say. Yeah. So that was meant to be. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. And it became Starlight Express. And then other favorite factors, the recent Cats movie that came out.

The terrible one. Yeah, he hated it so much, he immediately went out and bought a dog. That was like. Oh, that's funny. What a way to protest. Oh, wow. I can't believe you saw Crawford.

That's incredible. Yeah, that's cool. It was amazing. And after that show show I was obviously so affected by it. I sat there and looked across the table and there's this girl called Janelle. And just we saw each other look to... Shout out to Janelle. Shout out to Janelle. Yo, yo, yo, Janelle. And then, yeah, but so therefore I've been to Melbourne,

but I've never really seen it because I got sick and was violently ill. Oh man. But you're redeeming yourself, yeah, with this second visit. Good on you. Yeah, thank you. And you were showing us your guns right at the beginning. So you're not only back in Melbourne,

but you're at peak physical condition. Okay, so I was showing you my guns, there they are. Because I took- Oh, I see they're not loaded It's actually to get through security and I saw an off-shot guns are they? They're replicas Very good replicas. No, I was I turned 49 the other day and I decided to start going to the gym so that when I turn 50,

I can say I'm the most healthiest and best shape I've ever been at. That's good for you. Good on you. Yeah, thank you, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it guys. I'm glad you noticed my guns. Thank you.

Right, I hate to hurry people along, but we are on a time limit today. We are! We are! Sorry, just super quickly. I've discovered something which is, you know, sometimes you have a thing in your life that just reminds you that mysteries can be everywhere and every morning I get to see it when I leave my house because when I walk out the front door, right in front of me is the ocean and

it's about a four-minute walk to the ocean and it's about a four minute walk to the ocean and a lot of ships are passing. They're traveling from France and they're just going around the coast of the UK. And they're massive. I see them and they're massive. And I always walk down to the coast to go to one walk in the morning.

And when I get to the coast, they seem, they appear to be four times, at least four times further away. And so I'm sitting on an angle at a weird pocket of a distance where everything is amplified as if I've got like a magnifying glass. What, really? It's insane.

And I think it's an illusion of the earth that it tilts it. So in order to see the ship better, I need to walk four minutes away from the ocean front. And then I get this amplifier. It's so cool. I show everyone. It's like a magic trick. That's a legit thing. Have you researched that? Yeah, yeah. You get these illusions. You get these odd illusions. And it just, it just is one of those magical things that just reminds you perspective is so mysterious. Wow, that's so cool.

That's incredible. Yeah. Could you possibly video that? Is it possible to shine? It doesn't capture it. Yeah. No. No.

This is a video camera. It's like a critter. Wow. I can't get a good shot of it. I'm actually genuinely finding this hard to believe that you've got an angle that the atmosphere naturally turns into a telescope. Yeah.

But the video camera doesn't capture it. Only the naked eye does. And then you walk four minutes closer. If I get to your house and there's a giant magnifying glass on your back lawn and you haven't noticed that I am going to be very angry. That's, um, and you haven't researched it to see if it's an actual thing. There could be some kind of weird vortex or something there that very possible. Yeah.

There's a lot of, yeah, dimensional portals that get reported on the coast of the UK. And I'm now a UK coaster. So, yeah, well, hang on. You're also now a druid. So how's that going? By the way, any updates? Haven't been back yet. Yeah.

I knew it. I knew it. Well, I haven't seen back yet. Yeah, I knew it. I knew it. Well, I haven't seen, but also this is a challenge, isn't it? There is stuff that we've talked about in the next episode, which was the first episode, which now we're gonna be making reference to. People may not know about the druid.

Was that last episode or was that the previous episode? No, you're right. That's this upcoming second first episode. Oh, there's teas as well. There's all these teasers for next episode. They're coming to Druid. That's a back tease. Back tease.

That's a back tease. That's a back tease. As you know, it's just... You took about a minute and a half to even try and get that. Okay, let's move on to the first segment. Come on, guys. Weekly World Weird News.

Crazy, freaky, watch out. Bunch of weird news in there. Where do you guys go? the first segment. Come on guys. Weekly World Weird News. Crazy. Freaky. Watch out. A bunch of weird news in there. What do you guys got? I'll jump in. Yuri Gala has claimed that one of the Apollo astronauts and one of the people who basically got us to the moon took him to a secret room in NASA and showed him an alien body. Wow. I've heard this. He's heard he's been tweeting away about it. And I just think anytime Yuri brings something up, we got to bring it to the table. You got to bring it to the table.

Yeah, I agree. The Yuri table. Okay, that's cool. Okay. So mine is mystery in Alabama as entire 200 foot radio tower is stolen by thieves. Wow. Did you have that one bun?

What the shit? I didn't do that news in the last one. That's the next one. No, but you stole my news in the last one. Oh, wait. No, but you stole my news in the last one. Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. Oh, OK. That was confusing. I thought you many did the story.

No, no. So maybe you accessed a third episode that we haven't made yet that Rhys has repeated the story. Yeah, yeah, that one's coming in a couple of years time. No, I had that news. But thank goodness I've got backup news Which I it was actually wanted to be my first news But I thought it was just a little bit too gross to have as news

But now you're forced into it It's a year for me into the gross news and the headline is simply doctors remove 150 live bugs from Florida Man's nose. Wow. Oh, that's quite impressive. They must be pretty small bugs. You sure he didn't just have a cold? They know.

No. Well, he thought he did. I mean, we'll go into it later. We'll go through just the headlines. But also, as a supplementary headline to that, the inaugural Florida Man games have just been played. And, uh, looking to become an Olympic event by the next Olympics. Oh, I made the last bit up, but you will know about the Florida man thing, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The ethos. They've now turned it into an actual competition competition and so I'll run you through that Oh great, but I've just been played amazing one of the events is how many bugs can you fit up your nose? Alright, well that looks into your new story. Yeah. Yeah, or is that a separate thing? Okay, you go down.. Oh, okay. So, Uri Geller, he's taken to Twitter to release a new claim or what he would just call

story of something that happened in his life where he claims that he went to NASA and he was shown around by Edgar Mitchell. So, Edgar Mitchell was one of the astronauts for the Apollo missions. I think Apollo 15, sixth man to stand on the moon. An interesting cookie in his own right. He performed telepathy tests when he was on his way to the moon with two other guys who were called Ed, who were back on earth at the same time. When he landed back on earth,

he became quite a proponent of bizarre things, bizarre methods. I believe when he was sick, he had treatment for his cancer by having a teenager across America being positive thoughts at him and so on. So he's very much in the world of believing in the paranormal and all sorts of occultish kind of stuff. So supposedly him and literally the guy who took us to the moon, Vernevon Brown, this

is the guy who was a former Nazi who came over to America, basically built the rockets. Apparently, Geller was visiting them at a base and he was taken to a concrete building and they made him put on a orange Antarctic suit that had a circular blue NASA logo on it. And then he said it was like a hospital. And then he went into this room and he saw what he claimed was heavy glass containers and lying inside them. They were sort of transparent.

He saw that in these see-through coffins were little aliens. Wow. And he's been sitting on that story for. How many years now? It was a slow news week. He's going back into the archives. Interesting. Yeah. The thing about Geller is, quite often, his stories have lots of truth about them. Time and time again, journalists have kind of like John Ronson when he said that he was hired by the CIA to try and use what's it called

remote viewing and try to stop, you know, goats hearts and stuff. It turned out that yeah, he was he was brought in by them in order to do that. So he's a guy who was asked to do weird things and shown weird things. And when you're talking Edgar Mitchell, I can't work out what bronze kind of vibe was. But this is very much in the wheelhouse of Edgar Mitchell. Yeah, I'll just interrupt by saying the best storytellers, their tales have nuggets of truth in them and have details that cannot be denied. And so the listener concentrates on those details and finds that those facts are undeniable and therefore you can flourish the

rest and you are along for the ride and so you're more likely to believe it. So I think there's something in that. And when you was just in the details of like the, for example, why would he put on an orange Antarctic suit to go down into a room? Was it freezing? I'm not sure because he's basically given us this one tweet as a I'm just I'm just googling it now. Just based on one tweet. Yeah, I'm just seeing if there's any other mentions. Maybe he's written a thread since. So I'm just bringing you that. I'm also wondering whether that is connected to the theory that there are extraterrestrials in the Antarctica and that NASA has gone on, you know, a mission down there.

The US government definitely has to find what's beneath the ice. Yeah, because there's lots of theories stopping down there. Yeah, the thing I love looking at Uri Gala news. There's a headline there that says Uri Gala says, I still blow my own mind. Which is... That's a T-shirt. says I still blow my own mind which is yeah you kind of wonder whether he wakes up and goes that's right I saw aliens at Nessle once God my own mind sometimes cheap it going? Uri Gala, self-mineblower. How are you? What's happening?

It's nice to blow your own mind every now and then, isn't it? Just do a bit of a clear out, blow out, you know? I did see a video of him somewhere that he was talking about this, Dan, where he does say that he's seen alien body. I mean, it's difficult with this guy. He's always had a life of getting headlines, being popular, being in the media for his tricks and his abilities,

the bending of the spoons and what have you. And I think when you get used to that, it's hard to not be famous. And so I think he keeps doing stuff to keep himself in the headlines to because, you know, he wakes up, he's a self-mindblower so we can't wake up in the morning and not see a headline about himself yeah if he doesn't have one he'll have to add one somewhere because you know if no one else is gonna blow your mind you might as well blow your own well that's maybe the problem with him he's like like, man, everybody is so boring in this world. And everybody has the joy of having their minds blown by me.

But who's blowing my mind? Nobody's blowing my mind. So he's actually just taken. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'm gonna have to do it. Your plug-ins here to do it. Yeah, exactly.

So he said, supposedly this was in the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is 10 kilometers northeast of Washington DC. They have a refrigerated room deep down below the center there. Yeah. Hence the Antarctic suit. I just, I find him so fascinating and I actually just enjoy it. I think a lot of people get really annoyed by it. But I mean, when they go down there, do they say, okay, phones down, put your phones away, nothing okay. And when you come down and see this stuff, you're not to talk about it for

30 years. But when you do, go ahead and do a self mind blow. I'm not worried about that. But make sure you give it at least 30 years. We don't want this coming out. Yeah. So Von Braun is the person that's dating this for us because he would have died in let's see, he died in the 1970s. Yeah. So this will have happened in the early 70s basically. You attach him to your story and people's ears prick up because he was such a major dude back then, you know, the godfather of rockets and getting us into space and whatnot. And you know what I've just found? Yeah. But they're not released until October the 8th of 2024. But Yuri Gala is actually

publishing 52 divination cards. And it's called the Extraterrestrial Oracle. And he's releasing these 52 divination cards to channel the wisdom of the aliens and he is saying that these divination cards will be able to predict when aliens are going to come down and make first contact with humans. Oh, it just sounds like his own tarot cards that he's put out there.

Basically, another money making scheme. Send me the link, I'm in. Yeah, exactly. I'm ordering them. We're going to have to use them on October the 8th. We're going to have to record a podcast and actually have a hoon on them. Oh yeah, let's do it. It says the cards will help you use the power of your mind to connect with them, the aliens, hone your psychic powers and unlock your submerged potential. With your looking for a fun gift for a friend or a tool to further your spiritual journey, these cards will amaze you through the insights they bring. Yeah, I like how he undermines the entire power of what they're capable of by going,

and also could be just a fun gift for your friend. I thought I was summoning extraterrestrials from another world. Having a bit of fun with your friends. Oh listen, you might do. Oh you might just have a bit of a laugh. What do you imagine doing that? You're accidentally just having a bit of fun with your friends and then all of a sudden you summoned a bunch of aliens into the room with you. You're like, oh sorry guys! What are you guys doing here? Ah we saw that you guys had the cards out. We're hoping it wasn't gonna be like this but the other cards were produced and so we had the carrots come out. I see you're making margaritas there.

If you wouldn't mind sharing some of those with us alien types, that would be great. Thank you. You're just coming down to join our party, aren't you? No, no, no, no. You called us. You got the carrots out. You called us. You got the carrots out.

Put the carrots away, George. I told you this was going to happen. It's embarrassing. They're going to take all that to QA. I've got enough glasses for these weirdos. Put the cards away, I told you this was going to happen. It's embarrassing. They're going to take a little tequila. I haven't got enough glasses for these weirdos. All right, we'll get this, guys. There has been a massive theft, probably one of the biggest

I've ever heard about. Imagine stealing a 200-foot radio tower. OK. I mean, I can't even imagine. What a great story. What a great story. How'd you find that story? Over the course of a single evening or like subtly over, wow.

A radio station in Jasper was silenced earlier this month when its radio tower mysteriously disappeared overnight. Yeah, the general manager, Brett Elmore, received a phone call from a member of a landscaping crew on the morning, February 2nd, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. The worker who had visited the site of the radio station's 200 foot tower to conduct maintenance explained that the entire tower was simply not there. It had been completely disappeared. When he arrived he called me on Friday and said the tower's gone. I said what do you mean the tower's gone. Albor... They said, what do you mean the tower's gone? Are you sure that you might not be in the right place, are you?

He said, no, the tower's gone. There are wires everywhere and it's gone. Tower's completely gone. That's mad. To a hundred foot tower. So sure enough, someone had seemingly made off with the entire thing and although Elmore filed a police report, it doesn't look as though the tower is likely to be recovered anytime soon. The funny thing there is when I read the story, the one thing that they're not talking about is that you just don't take a tower overnight, right?

It's not something that you just go 200 foot tower. It's going to take a long time to assemble and, you know, and truck out of there and all that kind of stuff. How long were they broadcasting for with nobody listening to for them to be able to take the tower away? I think that these guys were on the air for like a couple of months broadcasting to absolutely nobody until somebody went out on the six monthly check of the tower. And they go, no, it's gone. It looks like it's actually been gone for about four months. Have you guys been like broadcasting to nobody? Is that it? Is that it? No, no.

Imagine getting home. Like your wife for the last four months has been saying, oh, it's a great show tonight. No, I loved it. It was great, it was great. And they go, wait, you haven't been able to listen to us for four months. The tower's been gone.

I must have been listening to somebody sounds a lot like you then. Love the new show, loving it guys, listening to it. Oh, so good. No, you haven't because I took the tower down about four months ago and I've caught you out, I've caught you out, Mildred. Oh, shit. I can't stand the show guys, I'm sorry.

You've been listening to that bullshit cryptic factor haven't you, buddy? They don't need a 200 foot tower, they use that new fangled internet, don't they? Not anymore, not with our new 200 foot tower that I managed to just purchase online. That's crazy. 3,500 pounds of steel is what that was. That is nuts. It's also gone down as a federal crime. So whoever's stolen it are really in the shit.

Yeah, because you can't just do that. No, I was under the impression the tower was just at where the station was, buttons. Do you think it was like in another location? No, they would have been in a different location. They'd usually have them out all the way out in the countryside. Right. And that's, you've seen that, there's that movie of those two girls climbing up the tower and getting stuck up the very top. I imagine it's something like that. It's gigantic and it's just bizarre

that because it would take a team of people and as you say, trucks, much equipment and I mean, you'd be pushing it to do it overnight. And also what do you then do with it? Are you gonna sell it? Or is it a rival station that didn't have a tower and then all of a sudden next week, they still got a tower their reception is going really well Claire is down. You know I used to be in radio technician and I used to have to

drive out to radio towers and go up and service them I used to be that guy turned up to see whether or not the tower was still there. So this is why you wanted that story, didn't you? Yeah, it resonated with me. How high would you climb? Would you go like to the top of the towers? Like you see those? Yeah, definitely, right to the top.

Yeah, but the one thing is that this is in New Zealand. So things are a little bit smaller in New Zealand. Our towers were about, you know, kind of like a decent-sized wooden pole out of the ground. So probably about six metres. Right. Okay. Which is, so, and I climbed all the way to the top. I was very brave. Well, you're also forgetting that I used to be a telecommunications electronics operator

at the New Zealand Signals Corps. Yes! And I used to put up giant antennas as well. So that's why I took the story. Oh, yeah. Because I was paid to put these giant antennas up. And the biggest ones we made, I think, for Operation Signet Globe. And we're talking 200 feet high.

Operation Signet Globe. Did you just give away some military secrets? No, no. Operation Signet Globe. Is that where you had to find the commander's signet ring that he lost? Somewhere on the globe? It was somewhere on the globe, and you had to only use giant antennas to find it. The New Zealand military had put to very good use at times. That was back in 1992 or something, yeah.

Wow. So I think that's been decl've come now, how far we've come. How would you guys as radio technicians, what would be your move? How would you steal this? Would you dismantle it? Would you lift it in the air like with a helicopter? Well, that's a good question. Because you know, first of all, let's see if you can actually lift the whole thing up. Normally, it would probably fall apart. But yeah, see how it's well secured down on the bottom. Because if you can actually lift the whole thing up normally it would probably fall apart but yeah see how it's well secured down on the bottom because if you can just release it from the earth then yeah the

the easiest way would be to use a helicopter and some straps to just lift it straight up you obviously you pull it from the wires just take the whole thing away in a helicopter and then just gently put it down where you want it the other way is obviously use a team and then just gently put it down where you want it. The other way is obviously use a team and dismantle the whole thing. But that will take, honestly, you're looking at a good two or three days work there. But the other thing that I don't get is that normally these huge big towers don't just have one radio station broadcasting from it. They use them for broadcasting lots of different antennae and all that on it. And this is an AM transmitter, which means it's just one AM frequency.

Yeah, but you're thinking of New Zealand once again, where everyone shares and, oh, can I borrow your tower, bro? The one six meter tower. The one six meter tower has got 500 different radio stations. Apparently there's precedence to this. So it happens a fair bit in America so in 2021 police and Dothan arrested a man who'd stolen a 30-foot aluminium trailer with a collapsible radio tower that reached up to 100 feet wow that's a lot of feet for a trailer and then there's another one of 75 foot steel radio tower stolen so it's obviously there must be people who've got a

little booklet telling you how to do it. Well, here's the other thing that leads me to my next thought. I think these kind of things could be being pinched by a. Aliens. I don't know. By a. I know by a liens. No, by doomsday Preppers. Okay, so we're talking about these people who are setting up areas because they're worried that the world's gonna end. EMP attacks, cyber attacks, things like that. The internet's gonna go down. But ham radio is how we're gonna be communicating with each other. So if you've got some sort of secret base of other redneck Republicans that have built bunkers and you might want to have a stolen radio tower so

that you communicate with whoever else, you know, you've seen the last of us. That's true. That's a very good point because that is they say the old radio frequencies, good old proper AM and FM, it's going to come back or ham radio, like you say, you can use that technology, you're not relying on satellites, not relying on this technology, which is super complicated. That's really quite fundamentally something. Yeah, radio waves, radio waves, but also the other challenges that a lot of those are microwave links and stuff, which can fry you whenever I used to have to climb up the pole yet to make sure everything was shut off because there's really highly concentrated microwave links so the other way to-

Why have I got an image of you climbing up there with oven mitts on? He won't know if I had to! Oven mitts were part of my kit! And even worse the two that are connected you know so you've got the oven mitts and they've got connected with that bit in the middle and you're like climbing up a town oh I'm just getting up here I'm gonna be okay The hardest part was the apron because they keep clapping up and yeah that was tough that was tough but great way to cook your sausages you just have to put it up here carefully up right. Send the signal now! Send the signal now! I've got your saucy ready! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz uh, doomsday, prepper, Colts, those are the places you guys should be looking. Just fly on.

Yeah. Just a quick fly on. Okay. Well, in the fact that we've got a very, probably very limited time left, how much? What's it? What's the Google time I say? 23.

23 minutes left or 23 minutes done. Oh, left. Come on, you're wasting time. Okay. So I just had to check. I just had to check. Well, still got quick news to do. So I'm just going to do my news really fast. There was a Florida men, everybody knows the Florida men.

We've had Florida men stories on the crypto factor for a long time. I remember one of the first ones was that naked guy who jumped on a homeless man and started eating his face because it was high on bath socks. That's probably the only one I can remember. The guy, the homeless man survived, but the cops, it took them something like two clips of bullets to actually take this guy down. And he died, sadly, but it was crazy.

And then no, I remember another one. There was the Florida man that built the rat wheel or whatever, that big floating thing and he went and to try and get the way all the way up somewhere and he went ended up, you know, a couple of kilometers back. The big floating rat wheel, he kept getting it and then he didn't get rescued like every year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he keeps trying, he's probably trying again. Well, there's two stories. One, the legit Florida man story, just to set the scene, Florida man had extra, he didn't even know,

he went to the doctor saying, I keep getting these blood noses and he would get up to go to the bathroom and his nose would start bleeding and his face was getting a little bit swollen. So he went to the doctor, the doctor started doing a scan and the doctor says, I think I can see movement and he goes in there, puts a camera up his nose and finds a whole nest full of these bugs.

And a little bit of it, I should have put a trigger warning at the start. If you don't like gross stuff, then just fast forward a couple of minutes. But they had 150 bugs they extracted from his nose. Some of them as big as the doctor's pinky finger nail. What? No, come on. How big does this guy's nail? No, not the pinky finger. Just the nail, the fingernail on the pinky, he says.

Oh, God. That's massive. 150. If 150, he said, over a couple of hours, my face just started swelling. My lips swelled. I could hardly talk, the patient told First Coast News. I couldn't even get up to go to the bathroom. My nose starting to bleed.

He went to the hospital. They found all of these bugs feeding on the nose and sinus cavity. Some of as big as the end of his pinky. So there you go. I don't know about this. I've got a video. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you. I noticed when there's a hair out of place in my nostril. I know. Tell me about it. Okay, here we go. I'm going to say a little video. And like it says view discretion, advice, graphic images from the operating room. Oh dear. Here we go. Oh wow. Are you ready for this? Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Thank you. That's great. Thank you. There's a time for breakfast yet. All right. I think we should move on to the cryptids now. I think that is encrypted.

Which is leaving it on the cryptids. That's leaving it at that. We're not going any further there. Okay. It's time for cryptid buzz. Hang on. Hang on. No. That is so bad. I'm so bad. Thank God this is an audio podcast. Oh my God.

See, I'm telling you, that's what was going on. You had no idea. They look like the image of a Mongolian death worm. That sort of teared shelling. It's like, yeah, wow. I don't feel good anymore. I hadn't seen that myself. That was the first time I saw that myself as well

I'm feeling a little bit Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wish I hadn't seen that I wish I'd given you the buddy radio tower story now My bad, absolutely my bad Okay, let's move on That's what I'm saying! The last time I was doing news of you Oh

Well, okay The last time I'm seeing you is off you. Wow. Well, OK. I love you. The final part of that story and the nicer part, just to end on the nice part, is the advent and the inaugural Florida Man games have just been heard, which is super exciting. They've got a whole bunch of competitions and stuff, really basically to celebrate their

own meme, I guess, and to be in on the joke themselves. Exactly. So some of the games that they've got are things like eat the buck challenge where it's like an eating competition, but you're eating pork butt platter. I had a different image in mind. Okay, fine. Yes, I'm weaponized pull, noodle, mud, jewel. Oh yeah, that'll be fun. Yeah, you've got evading arrest, obstacle course, we've got jumpers, offenses through backyards and away from actual police officers.

I'm so into that. I love that. I know. Yeah. There's a category five cash grab where you've got to try and do cash grab in a category five wins grab where you've got to try and do cash grab and a category five wins.

So, you know, I don't, I'm sorry. I don't know about this. This is Florida man. This is Florida man. It should be competitions where it's like first to get the penis stuck in a vacuum cleaner. Exactly. But it can't be anything where they'll get sued or something or go horrifically wrong, can they? So there's, they've got to draw the line.

So it's kind of like lame Florida, man, isn't it, I guess? Lame Florida. But there's things like stealing, you've got to steal a catalytic converter, two bikes and a handful of copper pipes. That's quite fun. I mean, it's funny. I'd quite like to go and compete. I'll tell you this much.

Yeah. Well, you could certainly out someone capable of stealing a 200 foot tower in that event So but that's exciting It's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no one eating anyone's face off, but um. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha to kill him after he ate that man's face off. 40 bullets! Oh that's good, that's typical Gordon. Always the champion. Do they have any bugs in his nose? Oh God, yes he did. Yeah please don't look up the bugs in the nose video. Okay, uh, cryptid buzz, guys. Yeah. Let's go.

Attention, all personnel, it's time for this week's cryptid... Help me! So, I got sent a story over Instagram. Oh. Good place if anyone wants to bung any stories over. My Instagram is always ready to receive them. It's Eric Wilson who sent it to me, and he said, Dan, Bigfoot Siding in Utah, high up on the mountain face. So he sent a video.

It's genuinely quite interesting. You know, I'm not good enough to know whether something CGI or something with buttons. I've sent the video to you. So if you can. Okay, I'm looking at a mountain side. It's a mountain side. It says a big foot captured with spotting telescope running in deep snow up a wassach wassach mountain peak. And I would give it some volume as you as you play it. Okay, here we go. We were sent the following footage by a person that goes by John.

It was filmed on one of the mountain peaks along the wassach front mountain range. The guys that filmed it were down in the valley, 4200 feet and zoomed in on the 9000 feet elevation. They did their best to film this creature running horizontal then vertical up the steep snow swept mountain side using a spotting telescope and holding the lens of the camera up to the viewfinder. It was almost a mile higher as moving too quickly like it's like it's almost running on concrete, not snow. So quick. So yeah, because that far away as well, you would expect it to be moving a lot slower. But does that look legit? It does. I mean, it looks no. I don't know if it looks legit. It does look a bit CGI. Yeah, it does.

Figure going across. You'd see some sort of track behind it, but there's nothing. No, I'm not believing this. I can see a shadow behind it, but there's, there's, you'd see a tiny bit of a trail if you're walking through the snow. The only thing is that it does get exactly blurrier at the same time that because the range finding on the video is going in and out of focus. It would be hard to fake that wouldn't it? It would. Yeah it would really would. Oh there we go. That's good stuff, good stuff. So there we go. If you want to check that out yourself it's a big foot captured with spotting telescope running in deep snow up a wassach mountain peak.

Are you zooming in yourself there buttons? Yeah. Okay. What's your honest opinion there out of you know, percentage wise? I was doubting at first because the shadow of the thing is just so sharp and so kind of looks almost fake but then if you look at the shadows of the trees, So it kind of looks almost fake, but then if you look at the shadows of the trees, they look really fake as well. They are very dark. And I have in the past held my camera on my phone up to a telescope, and it is very hard to do because your camera is trying to focus and it ends up doing exactly what has happened there.

So it feels very believable the way that they've filmed through a telescope. Right. there. So it feels very believable the way that they've filmed through a telescope. It's just the thing that makes me doubt it is just how fast it's moving for such a small little It's so quick and too smooth. It doesn't look like there's a gate. It just looks like it's sliding. The smoothness is interesting. But imagine if it really was like, you know, eight foot plus. Yeah, 12 foot. And it was just the legs were coming up and it was just, you know, they don't move like a human does because they're just so much better at being in nature and they're bigger. They have massive muscles. So, you know, we, we're pretty dreadful at trying to get through snow. But that's the first time I've ever seen a sasquatch going through the snow.

It's snow, yeah. It's something that we ever see, is it? No. So intriguing, but yeah, looking at it there, it just looks off, doesn't it? It does, but also that's that whole thing of you kind of going, it's broad daylight running across the snow, you know, for nocturnal animals for something like this. It's like seeing a hedgehog during the middle of the day, right? You kind of go, that's not right. They're normally running around at night time. And you kind of go, well, where is it running to it? Sort of like running. But I don't think they're strictly nocturnal. No, true. What I'm thinking here is the, to

its advantage is that, you know, if you were going to fake a big foot video, you wouldn't do one on the distant snow cap. Oh, you can see it's a humanoid figure. Look at the figure of it. I mean, there's no way a man could do that. So that's intriguing as hell. I would say you're looking at a 75% at least possibility there. I'd say so too. All right. Now moving on to let's do Alien Big Cat because I've got one here. Oh, cool. Yeah, so women films exotic black cat prowling around a field in Scotland. Captured footage near Kermuea Angus shows a dark coloured animal walking through tall grass.

So let's have a look, a little bit of backstory. Most recently, a woman from Scotland captured footage of what could be a large black cat wandering through some grass next to tennis courts, outside her home in the Scottish Highlands. The 71 year old was quite shocked by the encounter and believes that it may have been something exotic. So let's share, let's get me sharing. How do we do that?

You just hit the share button down the bottom. No, I'm not interested. So how do we... Hang on a second, I'm going to do that now. Here we go. Share screen. You know, I remember when they invented computers and they said to me, hey listen, we've got something here that you're not going to understand, Maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, kind of fella. Yeah, no I've completely lost it now I can't even find the share button I can move that around no there's nothing there. Now you've gone you've switched off your video. Now I'm back again. Share host disabled participant screen sharing. Oh here we go try it now. That's the biggest.

I just didn't trust you. You might share something of like some bugs up a nose or something like that. I just can't, can't be trusted now. All right. Check this out guys. Oh, wow. So we're looking at a field out the back of somebody's house is sort of like an empty section and empty lot. There you go.

Wow. And there is a really sizable cat. Sort of through a fence in the distance. Yeah. Covered in overgrowth of, what are we saying? Grass. Yeah. And but it definitely looks like a large cat.

Very large cat. Let's see it again. Okay. Oh, no, you're asking the impossible. Oh, no, that was just at the end of the vid. Oh, God. And they always put such, you know, dramatic music on. Which you don't need.

You really don't need. People out there, if you do film something, you know, and you want to put it on the internet or whatever, don't add ridiculous paranormal music or something like that. Because the first thing we think as experienced cryptozoologists is when we watch something like that, we go oh no, you know, because you've, you've, you're trying to make it more dramatic. Yeah. And just, just don't, just don't need that anymore. There's old TV shows of like, did he see this or did he not? It's not that.

Those days are over now. We can just play it scientifically. Yeah. OK. So I think that's it for that. Oh, that's good. OK. So what are we saying?

That's a big cat in, where is it in the UK? It's a big cat. That one is, it's in Scotland. Basically woman claims, saw a big cat bigger than a Labrador, she says. Now that's the giveaway, okay? Because it's just too big and you can see the bulk of that cat from that video that it definitely is outside the range of your domestic moggy. She went outside for a closer look, watched it as it prowled around the now closed tennis courts near her home in Angus, Scotland. My first thought was

that, look at the size of that cat and what a long tail and how big it was. So those are the things you're looking for, how the basic size, the tail size, which now big cats have big thick long tails and this is what this one had. So she, you know, it's pretty good, pretty good filming, bigger than a Jack Russell dog. She also says she thought it was longer than a Labrador dog, but not as high. We're getting too many dogs in her description. Yeah. Yeah. When it comes to Greyhounds, this is what you're looking at she says. No. But it certainly was not a dog. But yeah it's just another credible sighting. If you go down to the comments you've got house cat I know, one is asleep on my lap

right now, someone else has commented meow and then someone's commented lol and lol. So those are are comments there. Honestly, there's five comments and I've read the top three. I'm tempted to add a comment. What do you guys think of the big cat situation in the UK? Like, where do you think they are residing? Because are they displaying different behaviors? They're around the wild. They're real. Yeah. So are there a lot of them? Are there?

Yeah. I mean, they they're breeding in some way, shape or form, but mostly I think they're cats on their own that have been that way. They can roam. You know, cats are incredible survivors and they can walk for miles and miles and find a place they can sleep anywhere. They hunt at night and they are the number one cryptid in the UK because they're definitely there, they've been eyewitnessed many times, very hard to catch,

I don't know if you've ever lost your own domestic moggy at home, it's happened to me and Bumbles has taken off out the back and there's just no way I'm getting him back, I wouldn't be sitting for half the day because they hide under things. I was going to say they are predator animals and being incognito and hiding, getting ready to pounce. That's how they prefer to be. That's their natural ability. So hiding and actually being undetectable is second nature to them. That is literally what they do. It's like you go up to the invisible man and you say, That is literally what they do. It's like you go up to the invisible man and you say, how come you can stay invisible?

What's the story there? And he'll just go, well, that's what I am, isn't it? I'm invisible. What? That's, I mean, that's not a great analogy. How are you saying him to talk to him? Is he wearing a hat? Can I just ask you to put the hat on for a minute? Oh god you're

way over there and I wonder if the sound's not working. Keith he's about a hundred yards away. Who are you talking to? Can you just stay one spot please? You were sitting here a minute ago well yeah no I got bored ran off well fuck you bloody tell me because we're in the middle of an interview here keep the top hat on Right now. Oh, I can see the hat moving He's gone again. He's gone in that car. I just dropped the hat. He's either dropped the hat or he's diminished in size Now if you just tell me how you stay invisible for a second place Nau, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, maia, woman's toilet to watch people. Yeah, I did that for the first couple of years. Those questions, two questions all the time. Why would I want to go into the woman's changing room?

Why? Why doesn't anyone ask me about my hat collection? Ha ha ha ha. Everybody wants to know how I do it and they presume I'm a pervert. Why? Why? Ha ha ha ha.

So wait a minute. We've got to discuss the fact that you must be naked right now, yeah? Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me. I just, you know, this is what people want to know. It's really disturbing, it's really disturbing. It's almost as disturbing as bugs up a nose. Bugs up a nose, yeah. All right, well on that note, we shall depart. Thank you everyone for listening. We are definitely back.

It's 2024. We can't wait for you to watch, sorry, listen. Oh, am I giving a little bit of something secret away there? Oh. To our first episode, which will be coming out next week. This is going to be such a challenge because now what are we going to call these episodes? Is this one here episode 88 or whatever it is? And the next one 87 or is it 80? Like what are we, this is going to be real confusing.

No, I think that's right. I think we keep the numbers wrong. Yeah. We keep the numbers wrong yeah and that'll actually bring people because we're gonna get a whole bunch of new people come to the spot if I can look at the numbers and figure out yeah so this one's gonna be 89 right so this is episode Okay. And the next one's 88. Yeah. Yeah. That's exciting. That's confusing. That's really confusing. We'll press release about that too. Okay.

Well, we're very excited. We're very, very excited. 2024 is going to kick off. Well, actually it's kicking off really averagely with bugs up noses, but it's going to be followed after the kickoff with something really excited. I'm so excited, I'm genuinely really excited to get what we've got out there and it's worth waiting for. Let's just put it that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't wait.

Okay, talk to you soon. Okay. I'm just gonna put my clothes on and grab me top hat. I've got another interview in a minute. No, you're gonna take your clothes off. I'll put them on. Take them off. Okay, well guys, we'll see you in a couple of months ago.

Oh yeah. Yeah, that's exciting. Time traveling episodes. Finally. Yeah, can't wait to already ready-of-talk to you About all those things I can't wait for everybody to find out about Dan being a druid Oh my god, yeah, that's exciting. Yeah, that's not even the most exciting bit I was just gonna wait and see whether or not Dan really is a druid It's actually a massive letdown because we've already found out that he didn't follow through

with it. I know! So apologies there. It's the worst, worst reveal ever. It's a back reveal. A back reveal. Is there a punchline that we can give here, a punchline to a joke and then put the set up in the next episode? Yeah. Too late. It's recorded. I think this old has been the punchline.

Yeah. That's true. The set up is worth it. All right. Okay. Well, I've got to go back to Melbourne. I've got to go back. Do you know where I'm actually staying here?

Well, I'm staying in a haunted prison that's been turned into a hotel so I've got to go back I'm gonna go ghost hunting oh wow okay well yeah record something for us yeah well we've got a YouTube channel now so we need some stuff up oh yes great. I can get my footage of my giant ships I want you to at least attempt it When you get to the back yard of your property. I can't wait to see that. Oh my god, the dullest videos ever.

Okay, no, actually this is what you can do, Dan. Get some video footage through the phone which won't show it zoomed in. Yeah. But then zoom in on the camera to what it looks like with the naked eye. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. I'll film it tomorrow and I'll see what I can do. Okay. This is potentially the dullest video ever of a normal-sized looking ship.

Gosh, massive. Look at that. And also, don't put it out on the YouTube channel before this episode comes out because people are going to be like, oh my god, what is this bullshit? He's lost it. He's lost it. Can you see the ship there? That's how big it actually is. But this is how big it looks to me right now. Now I'm gonna walk to the seafront. Just hang with me for four minutes.

Right here we are. Look at that. Tiny. Normal sized ship. I told you, told you. Nobody believed me. I'll be back in more anomalies next week. I reckon what Dan's trying to do,

he's actually realized the mortgage on his new house is a lot more than he thought and he needs supplementary income. And he's gonna charge people five quid a go to have a look through the giant magnifying glass that he's hidden in the garden show. I'll leave tours. people five quid a go to have a look through the giant magnifying glass and he's headed in the garden. Yeah, I'll lead tours. I'll have tourists come and visit.

Right, it's a four minute tour. We'll start here. It's just like every time a ship sails past, there's going to be about 200 people stood at dance place. Okay, there's a little bit bigger isn't it? Oh, there's a bit bigger isn't it? That's a bit bigger. Look at that. Oh my God. Yeah, what's this giant bloody tower?

Is this got anything to do with it? What's this radio tower doing here? He's brought my glass on the top of it. Hang on, is that buttons out there in a little row boat? The big fold out blue ship, isn't it? Yeah, fold out the ship. He's only two metres off the shore. Oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
