We're back with the Luke and Pete Short.
I'm being Donaldson joined by Mr. Lucie Moore.
How are you doing, my friends?
We're going to do a lot of emails there this time.
I think we should.
I think we need to empty our sack like Santa
of letters and emails and stuff.
So interesting enough, the next time people hear from us it will be Christmas Day.
What?
You heard me.
Who's doing that? A dirty Christmas dear treat.
We have to work out what we're going to talk about.
work out what we're going to talk about. Maybe we'll just do a completely normal show so people
can have a break from Christmas. Exactly. We'll talk about summertime, like what you're doing
the summer. Went to see, uh, went to visit Paddington on the South Bank at the weekend, Luke.
Do you want, do you go to the production or the store? Not the theatre. There's a, uh, experiential
kind of Paddington, um, uh, thing that's taking place. And it was, it was basically next to the
London Dungeon. You know where the London Dungeons has been re-positioned from London Bridge?
It's now in. All those out of work actors out there trying to be funny.
It's now in, it's now next to the wheel.
And the, uh, you go in, basically, and...
Where the, but the Shrek experience is?
Yes, it's the next to the Shrek experience.
Um, which sounds, it also sounds great.
Um, so, went in and, uh, you get in the Paddington's train.
Paddinger's lost his suitcase, look.
Oh, what?
It's got the recipe for Marmalade sandwiches.
Did you just go on your own to this, yeah?
Yeah. Um, uh, 45 minutes late.
They were running late because apparently the man who supposed to turn everything on
didn't come and turn everything on.
in the morning.
That is Bermin.
You were rolling
your sleeves
that way.
I'll get in there.
I'll get in there.
Get your wrench out.
Where are we next?
Peru.
The, as we get on the train
and we get on the train
and then we suddenly arrive at
I don't know who the family are
who owned,
the Bonds.
Are they the Bonds?
I don't know.
Is it a Bonfire?
I don't know.
They're fucking...
I enjoyed both the movies
but I can't tell you
that too many detail.
Anyway, so they've got
a young last plane,
the mom wearing like hippie-dipy clothes
and she's...
And you shut off.
So this is live action.
Live action.
It's like a mercy of theatre experience.
Yeah, she comes in.
She's like, I've got to,
I think she was talking about
maybe creating something for Christmas,
I'm not sure.
And she was,
I've got,
Paul,
he's bunting up and all stuff.
And it's just like,
that's fucking,
it's posh in it,
Pannington.
Yeah,
so that was doing me now in a bit.
Anyway,
you go in and this is Padding's house.
It's done out like the film.
So it's, you know,
beautifully done.
Nice he'd put together.
I'd even go,
if you didn't have a kid
and you were just a fan of Panning from the film.
How many people do they let in at once?
Probably about 20, 20 people
I would say
And you're getting in
Oh, Padding has made a real mess in the kitchen
He's put paint everywhere
And then you can see you've got to rearrange
He's a bit of escape room
He's got to rearrange his pictures of Paddington
To, for some reason
And then you can hear Paddington in the next room
He's always in the next room
Yeah, always in the next room
And he's always like dropping paint cans
And you know, set and fight stuff in the kitchen
And then this Scottish woman comes in
She takes us in the kitchen
And we've got to do chores in the kitchen
and I'm tired
but it was very good
then I don't know what happened
something happens
I wasn't really listening
we're in the larder
then a wall of the larder disappears
and we're in Peru
and my daughter's got to find
all of the oranges to make the mamanade
huh
this sounds pretty good
it was really good
it was really good
but um
posh
a lot of posh
a lot of posh actors
actors acting posh
do you actually see paddington at the end
at the very end
you finally get
the kudagr
art is an animatronic Paddington with
I'd kind of think they could have done it better
better than I've got loads of actors in different
you know they're done on safari and you know
all doing different stuff and then at the end when you see
Paddington next to it
him, them is in
it's just a person like a security card
they're just standing there with an earpiece
as if you sort of go do not touch fucking Paddington
if you touch Paddington you're in big trouble
I wonder it's the same people who did the
Pannington Bear production thing
It's in no way as realized, let's say, the animatronic.
It's interesting you used the phrase coup de grace.
Yeah, for that.
Because coup de grace, according to the dictionary,
it's a finisher, isn't it?
The final blow or shot given to kill a wounded personal animal.
Exactly.
That how you felt.
That's how I felt.
Let's get out of here.
I want another hot dog.
But, yeah, and then you get to see Paddington,
they leave.
It was really magical.
Was it fun for the whole family?
It was fun for the whole family,
especially the smallest of the whole family.
So I've got a little theory about this.
I may have mentioned to you before,
but I'll just re-up it if I have.
People will forgive me, I'm sure, at this time of year.
They'll be charitable about it.
Isn't it interesting how the massive increase in immersive experiences
for human beings in this country,
I don't know about other countries,
it seems to be totally relentless.
It's almost as if to me it feels like people can't get happy in their actual lives
so they need to escape all the time to secret cinema
immersive experiences
all this kind of other stuff that goes on
can't you say that about everything though
no I don't think so I think television drugs
I think yeah sure but I think it's really
recently it's been
become everywhere that kind of stuff
everything's like an immersive experience these days
it's the old bum bum train
and they started that off didn't they
you saw the bum bum bum train
that was like a kind of quite a fancy
kind of popular
immersive theatre experience
back of the day and like you couldn't get tickets
of London money I didn't go on the end
I never heard of it
Yeah, it's like in a big warehouse in sort of east London.
It was really, really successful.
But everywhere you go in London now.
Crystal Mays, life-size monopoly.
Yeah.
Like an escape room.
But it's half, like, a bit of community sort of stuff.
It's competitive, because people have to be competitive these days.
And also, and the third thing is, it's very Instagrammable.
Yeah, that's true.
Hey, look, I'm in the TV show that I like.
I just think there's something in the escapism of it.
I went to one recently.
I got bought a couple of tickets for a thing called Frameless.
What the fuck is frameless?
So you go to a gallery.
near Marble Arch
and rather than going to see
say Vincent Van Gogh's self-portrait
which of course is in some gallery somewhere else
Oh, it's big screens.
Yes, they have a massive almost
warehouse-sized room
and you stand in the middle of it
and the painting comes to life and it kind of
washes over you with these sounds
and obviously these colours and these things.
Yeah, it's really interesting
but they've got maybe six or seven
them in the same complex.
Right.
So there'll be a big
Ruben's kind of
I guess what's Rubin's
I don't know
post impressionist or impressionist
whatever that kind of thing
and the whole thing
will just wash over you over and again
you go into the next room
and it's a different type of art
like a Da Vinci or something
or the Mona Lisa or something
right
it's kind of interesting
but my point being that like
people for some reason
love that immersive shit these days
I don't know they always
I just another thing to kind of
I just think LED technology
has sort of gotten so good
projector technology's gotten so good
these days
because it used to be like
you see it's quite
good tech as well then
yeah I think it's the advances
of sort of come along
that you can have
really really bright
projectors these days
that do some crazy stuff
that are like really high definition
I suppose
they're really expensive
but
you can always hear the fans as well
and if there's anything like
when there's the fans
on the projector to keep it cool
we should give people the
do you know what I thought
about the frame list thing
I thought it was
a really cool thing for say
I don't know
pre-teens
to introduce them to art in an exciting way
because I think if you're someone who has grown up
in the generation that is now
I think it probably would for a younger person
be like a little bit boring
just looking at a painting
I kind of understand what that would be
they're not going to appreciate it
whereas if you can introduce them in that way
it might be quite exciting
it's genuinely really well done
yeah like I think of the electricity bill though
I know we should do an immersive
luc and peacho experience
what would it be
you start sitting around and moaning about
how tired we are
there'd be a bread man
it'd be yeah there'd be a toilet
in the column of the room. Explain to people that guy?
A policeman emailed in saying that there was a man
who would go around public toilets with loves of bread
smearing, not smearing, wiping the bread on the
toilet seat and then eating the bread.
Yeah, we were pretty unclear about
what crime has been committed there, weren't we?
I think indecency has to be, public decency has to be...
What with bread?
Yeah, but like, you're eating...
Have you got his old...
You're eating toilet bread in the toilet.
That is a public nuisance
at the bare minute
Is he got his old man out while he's doing it?
I think any judge
I think there's a lot of leeway
with public indecency
I think any judge worth his bread
would be
would sort of say that that
that is a challenging image
Anyone would be appalled
Yeah
They're like I think it's more
It's not and very much like London
You know never swing at someone
who's got nothing to lose
It's like if they're doing that
If that's their entree
What will be their
Kudegra one might suggest.
You're going to
concerned about what direction it's going to go
What direction it's going?
If that's his
If that's the thing he's doing
quietly and furtively by himself
What's he working up to?
You know?
That guy was eating
That was a guy was eating toilet bread
And he moved on
The bread around the toilet seat
And eating it
Yeah
It's just
The thing I can't get past
about it was obviously disgusting
But it's just so specific
Yeah
Yeah
It's just so specific
Like if you hear
How do you discover the love for that?
Oh, I would love to eat that
It's very creative
Because I mean
Is our some bread's better for it
People are into what they're into right
Would a bryosh not be better
Because at least you get the sweetness of the bread
And it would be soft and yielding
And maybe he's thinking about carbs
The things that annoy me
When people serve up brioch as a burger bun
As they don't toast the bun
And it falls apart
Right
The beauty of a brioch for a burger
You'd simply have to
You toast it
To hold together
Or you
Or you, what I would do
Where you buy your brioch from
Sounds like it's got...
It sounds like the weather's got to it.
Just your commonal garden
bryosh brand.
But what I'm saying is, if you slice a bryosh bun,
my advice would be to everyone...
You have to toast it.
Spread it with butter.
Right.
And then just put it face down,
butter side down, the frying powder for a few minutes.
Can I interest you...
Makes a massive difference.
Can I interest you in...
On the bun?
Thin layer of minas on the bun.
That would do the same job as butter, would it?
I think so, yeah.
Just fat, fat, salt in it.
In the US, it's much more common to use mayonnaise
and then it is butter on your sandwich.
In my experience.
Would you not want both?
I do think there's something sort of...
I had a bit of toast without butter.
I had jam on toast last week.
Oh, without butter.
Absolutely terrible.
I don't know what it is.
Weird.
You need that richness.
You need that kind of fatty layer.
You need the salt to bring out the flavors.
Let's get a quick early breaking
because we've got a load of emails to do.
So we should just get through to.
We should do that.
Okay.
We're back with the look of Pete show.
And as promised, you guys got in touch
via hello link petero.com
and we are going to read out some bloody emails
a lot of food poisoning chat
this week Luke which is still pertinent
because you had food poisoning last week
and sometimes I feel like oh
we're going to miss the boat because we're not going to talk about
Pete food poisoning but then I think you know what it always come around
again yeah exactly came around again last night so
yeah lovely stuff yeah and we've got a couple
of emails yeah we got loads of emails
about food poisoning I selected the best three
and also got a raccoon related one as well
but you want to go ahead and pick one up first and foremost Peter
Yeah, that's absolutely fine.
I will go with food poisoning one.
Should I just start at the start?
They're titled Food Poisoning 1, Food Poisoning 2, and Food Poisoning 2.
I'll go with Food Poisoning 1 then.
Martin has got in touch.
Hello, Martin.
Hello, Lung, Pete.
Following on from your food poisoning chat this week,
I thought to share my own horror I've had to live with
and be brought up at family gatherings over 30 years now.
We were finishing a family holiday about when I was 10 years old,
and the morning we were flying home, I began to feel rough.
I managed to hold it together through the airport
and the flight, thankfully.
I mean, that is an effort.
I couldn't get home last night.
I had to stay in a hostel.
Recond this a few days earlier,
but, I mean, amazing work.
We landed at Manchester Airport
and had the stairs down,
I had the stairs down at the tarmac
to then enter the terminal.
I had my dad just ahead of me
and had got down the full stairs
before the taps turned on at both ends.
Wow.
I began shaking my head,
probably saying,
no, no, no,
but this just resulted in an exorcist-style spray.
Mmm. My dad
over head managed to somehow drop his duty-free
wine in all a commotion, look back at me
and then kept on walking to avoid having to
deal with both the broken bottles
and the horror scene I was involved in.
That's no father at all. That's bad,
bad dad-in. Obviously, I had
to change clothes, which resulted in me wearing my
older sister's oversized jumper, and I can't remember
what on the bottom half. I've been reminded
of this beautiful scene so many times. I've lost
all sense of embarrassment about it, so why not share it
with you? Have a good Christmas. Avoid food poisoning
if you can, Martin. But Martin,
You did your family a solid day.
I don't know why dad's decided to, you know,
turn and turn,
I think given that you're 10 years old,
that's outrageous from your dad.
Dad's got to take control.
I can't imagine doing that.
I turned up at,
we're off for a wedding and we turned up at my,
my sister-in-law,
sister and brother-in-law's house
because they're going to look after a baby
for a little while.
And as soon as you got there,
VOM happened.
I was it like, oh no.
But she was fine.
that.
Yeah, my son
vombed
when being
looked after by
my sister
while we were away
for the weekend
and to my sister's
immense credit
she's got kids
of her own
and she's very good
she didn't tell us
she's like
don't bother them
no no no
no
he's absolutely fine
he hasn't
he hasn't vommed
for three days
yeah
it's fine
but it can happen
mate they're very sick
can't that aren't they
love it
before we
overwhelm people
with emails
about food poisoning
I thought I just
interject with this
one about a raccoon
a raccoon
because the two things
we've
about more recently that pertains to these emails are food poisoning and raccoons because
you started off yesterday, sorry, whatever it would have been.
Thursday show.
Thursday show talking about raccoons.
And Dan's been in touch.
He says, hi guys, I live in northern Scotland in a rural area surrounded by woodland.
Oh.
Which sounds idyllic, absolutely idyllic.
He says, back in 2018, I decided to buy a wildlife camera.
The day it arrived, I just popped it out on the patio because the weather.
was good.
When I checked the
footage the next morning,
there,
walking right
towards the lens
was a raccoon.
In Scotland!
Well,
I didn't know yet.
Weren't they
invasible?
Didn't you say
they were invasive
species or something?
I immediately
found Scottish National Heritage.
Sorry,
Scottish Natural Heritage
says Dan.
They said it was
probably something else
patronising.
That's cheek.
So I sent them
the photo.
And they were shocked.
Have a bit of that.
They said,
I will immediately investigate.
Right.
Yeah.
You've changed your
I'd have wanted more change out of them for that.
That's so arrogant.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, yeah.
I'd have been, I've been like this.
Oh, so you, can I just confirm it?
It's a raccoon, yeah?
And I'd have gone...
Chippy.
So you want to investigate it further, right?
So can I just confirm, guys, before we get into that,
we are all here talking...
Agreeing.
About...
Prosion Lhotor, the Latin name.
Of the, of the carnivora order.
I'd have been really hammed it up.
Anyway...
To cut a long story short, a local wildlife rescue center had a raccoon that had escaped.
I was supplied with a trap and I captured him a few days later.
What?
So he captured a raccoon.
He caught one.
So they supplied him with the trap.
I guess they just put a trap in the...
He just put a trap down.
Yeah.
And he caught the raccoon.
The raccoon had returned.
And you think that would be the end of the story, right?
Yes.
I think it would be.
You'd be wrong.
Right.
Got out of the trap.
A few weeks later.
Came back.
Never forget.
They never forget.
the camera up again.
Yeah.
Guess what he captured next?
Lovely, another raccoon.
A lovely raccoon.
Yeah.
Another raccoon.
Where all these raccoons coming from?
Was it the same one, Peter?
I don't know.
There was...
Well, I'm going to answer the question.
All right, okay, sorry.
I thought you'd finished.
The answer was yes.
It was the same raccoon.
It escaped again.
Yes.
I made its way several miles back to my garden,
presumably following the stream.
The rescue centre got a bollicking
for not reporting the escape,
and the little escape passes
was captured once again
and returned one last time.
Let's go for three.
Dan ends the email by saying,
why not just leave him B?
Raccoons thrive in the UK climate
and reproduce rapidly,
just look at Germany
for a few dozen escape
from a fur farm in 1945
and it's now estimated
there is many of two million raccoons in Germany.
I guess, I don't know,
maybe they're invasive,
maybe they're a pest,
I don't know enough about them.
I think they're bloody cute.
I'll definitely say that.
In Cornwall, in the UK,
in last month,
there was an overweight raccoon
believed to be an escaped pet
found just wandering around
wandering around Carmel.
So it does give
a little bit of credit
to the rumours about
the kind of beast of Bodmin Moor
and all that kind of stuff, doesn't it?
Could just be a big, a fat raccoon.
Well, it could just be,
I suppose there are protocols in place
as Dan is kind of intimated here
when he says that
the rescue center got a bollicking
for not reporting the escape.
Yeah.
If a big animal escapes from your zoo,
you're going to have to tell someone.
You've got to tell someone.
I mean, there is a non-native species
secretariat apparently.
and if you see
something that doesn't look right
see it
say it
reported to the NSS
I'd love that job
wouldn't you
well you go
yeah but I would like to test their metal
I'd like you sort of go
I've seen a dog
and it's running around
and they'll be like
it's native to England
don't worry about it
and I'll say no
he's wearing a trucker cap
yeah
she's clearly from America
okay
I've seen a bear
a bear and a bearer
with a blue coat on
Blue corn
eating a sandwich
Oh, Peru
Yeah
Padding bear
So how would the conversation go after that
When you
When I don't know
When you do an adoption
The adoption people have to
Get like a
They put a book together for you
Of your
Of your
Of their life basically
Of the child's life
Before they came to you
And you know
You read it with them
And stuff
To make it clear that
You know
Open adoptions
They know
They know everything about
The adoption
and stuff.
And one of the first pages
on the life story book
that we got given was
here's a list of,
here's some characters
from like fiction
that have been adopted.
And I was thinking,
she's a two and a half year old kid.
It's going to be like Paddington,
isn't it?
Because he was adopted.
Iron Man.
Big in the fucking,
you know,
Avengers Assemble
fucking universe,
are we?
Two and a half year old girl.
I didn't even know.
Iron Man was adopted?
Apparently so.
Not really the biggest part of his
thing, really, is it?
Not really the biggest part of his story.
He's a multi-millionaire.
The origin stories are important.
Player boy, isn't he?
Marvel, aren't they?
They are, but I mean, it's not,
I don't remember
Superman, I guess.
He sort of came from his own country.
He was adopted by an American family,
wasn't he?
Yeah.
Go, with that iron man.
He's got an iron suit.
A lot of people talk about how
like Batman could have,
because like Bruce Wayne's a billionaire,
isn't he?
Yeah.
Batman could have just funded the police department.
properly.
Rather they just do this
silly nonsense.
Any other adopted people that
you wanted to mention in that section there, Peter?
I don't know. Sorry, I'd sort of, I went
away from the invasive species thing
straight into because it reminded me of Iron Man.
It's okay. I want to do another food poisoning email
because it comes from official
archivist
and statistician
of the football ramble. Jimmy to the
B. I didn't know Jimmy was
Luke and Pete show guy as well, so good on him.
Those people who listen
to ramble regularly will know all about Jimmy to the Bee.
So I'll leave that there.
But his story goes as follows.
You ask for food poisoning stories, so here we go.
The year is 2014 and we're at the end of January, beginning of February, and I'm 18
months or so out from having a gastric bypass.
Whoa!
Now, one thing they don't tell you about having that surgery is if you end up getting a
run-of-the-mill bout of food poisoning or a 24-hour bug or whatever, it absolutely fucks you.
Yeah.
Due to your body changing how it reacts to food,
and that your pipes and connections aren't working in the same way.
The bug doesn't go anywhere, basically.
It sticks around for a lot longer.
This meant for me at the end of January 2014,
I got ill with one of those little on the toilet for half a day bugs
that was just going around the office,
and they ended up being ill for over three days.
He said,
I was shitting and vomiting so much
and bending Owen to do so that I pulled a disc in my back
and lost two and a half stone in the week.
Sounds like it's all working, I suppose, as expected.
As needed.
He says, my body rejected everything that I drunk or eaten in the weeks beforehand.
Most concerning, though, it was also the time that Taylor Swift was touring the world
on the Red Tour, and she was about to play a few shows at London's world-famous O2 Arena.
Fast forward a couple of days.
I still haven't really eaten properly.
None of my clothes fit.
And every intake of breath or movement in my sleep causes meaningly to yell in agony.
Oh, God.
I just can't miss it, though.
I'd waited months, and not even the prospect of the nightmare I've been through leaving
with no energy.
the thought of seeing the vamps as tour support
nor the visuals of looking like a 25-year-old hunchback of Notre Dame
the third row of the front of the gig would stop me
so I went on a cold February night
we drove from Norwich to London in my friend's old Renaulte Cleo three door
oh my god this sounds Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
she drove as quick as possible so I wouldn't be in the car for that long
oh my god we got on the central line to change at Stratford
before going to the O2 via the Jubilee line it was hell
my back was broken my lower half torn
and my ear drums trying to escape from the vamp
but it was worth it
because I reckon at one point
Taylor Swift looked down
at a hunchback
in the third row
Destrich Charles
raised his arms
above his head
as she crushed it
so he made it
Jimmy
I couldn't
I couldn't watch a
a small
a small modest
Royal Rumble last night
at the wrestling
that's what laid ways to you
Jimmy ends the email
by saying love you both
Merry Christmas
to all the family and friends
remember sometimes food poisoning
can lead you into a position
with the world's biggest
female pop star
I think she might need to call security on you
People are brave.
You know, like, when you have your gastric bypass thing?
Like, how...
Because you imagine it's like a rubber band
and it sort of like takes off a bit of your stomach.
Is that what it does?
I believe it makes the...
So you get full quicker.
It makes the stomach smaller.
Sure.
So how...
What about that bit where the food doesn't get to?
Is that just...
I'm just kind of confused.
I don't know how it works.
I don't know how it works.
I imagine if they thought it through, I expect.
Yeah.
Do they just sort of make it...
presumably that
I'm thinking of like
the stomach is a thing
and I am presuming
that rubber band just sort of like
absolutely
takes out
some of the stomach
but what in reality
it probably is
is it restricts the stomach
from expanding
so therefore you feel
bigger quicker
so because you wouldn't want
a part of the stomach
not doing anything would you
not absorbing food
according to Google
it creates a small stomach pouch
and re-roots
part of the small intestine
reducing food intake
and calorie absorption
leaving to a significant weight loss
and improvement in a obesity-related conditions.
So that stomach pouch, what's that doing now?
It's not doing anything.
Would it not just necrotize and just sort of go,
well, I'm going to stop being a stomach
because I'm not doing any of the stomachy things.
I'm not fulfilling my stomachy destiny.
No, I think what's happening is,
I'm looking at the Google images,
the stomach gets vastly reduced inside.
Look like that.
Sure is it.
Right?
And then they cut off the rest of the stomach
and the tube goes into that bit of the stomach
and out again and bypassing.
and bypasses the rest of the stomach's not,
so the rest of the stomach's not doing anything.
Oh, so what you mean?
It's not, it's not, it's not receiving,
presumably stomach acid.
It's not receiving the things that it needs to, you know,
to be a good question.
I'm just, I'm sure.
We've got a couple of official GPs of Luke and Peachia.
Exactly.
They'll be able to tell us.
I imagine people who have,
it must be quite annoying if you've got,
you know, the, it's quite a big operation,
the old gastric band.
Now, as Empex around,
you must be fucking annoyed.
Yeah, not need it anymore.
Yeah, but need it anymore.
Well, I mean, yeah, you know, you can't...
It's not for everybody, is it?
You can't live in the future, Peter.
You simply can't...
Before we go, let's just finish off
with this final food poisoning email we've selected
from Andrew in Connecticut, Peter.
Take it away.
All right, okay.
Final one.
Yes, Luke Pete, while on vacation in Bermuda
with my family in 2005,
I ate Eggs Benedict and got food poisoning.
One of your faves, isn't it, Egg Benedict?
Yeah, I do like a bit of Eggs Benedict.
I had 24 awful hours hugging the toilet
and laying on the bathroom floor.
Once I started to feel better,
I went to the bar at the hotel to watch the TV.
The bartender,
and customer, we're watching the Liverpool
AC Milan final. Oh, that one, that one.
At halftime, with Liverpool
down zero to three, I
asked if we could change the channel. Needless to say,
my request was not received well. You
all know what happened after half time.
I was completely mesmerized
and have been a Liverpool supporter ever since.
Without food poisoning, I may
not have becoming Liverpool convert
and supporter, Andrew from Connecticut.
Where we live in
Simsbury, Connecticut,
which sounds like where the Sims
would live.
It does,
isn't it?
Speaking,
the Simlish
and that,
we have bears as
pests,
pests, not
raccoons.
We even have
special bear-proof
trash cans.
Yeah,
it's kind of
interesting because
Simsbury is
not that far
northwest of
where my wife's
family are from.
And although I have
seen bears in
New England,
I've been much
further north than that,
like up in Vermont,
places like that.
I've never really
seen one in Connecticut,
although apparently
they do knock about
down there.
Yeah, nice.
So I kind of
do want to see a bear at some point in connecting that because i've only really seen him from
the car in vermont have you seen that footage of a guy who was testing out his drone no so i don't
if this is a i i don't think it is because i think it's quite an old piece of footage it's a guy a few
years ago testing out his drone in like a snowy landscape somewhere i guess he's gone in this car
and driven to the woods or whatever and he's flying his drone up and down these kind of
gaps in the trees of this forest yeah and all of a sudden you just see a bear chasing a man
So a man
He's like running away from a bear
A bear's chasing him
And the drone sort of stropes down
And the bear kind of gives up the chase
And kind of wanders off
Right
And well that's good
You'd want to use your drone for good
Well I don't think it's because of the draw
I'm not sure
Oh right
I'd want to go down
And try and distract the bear
No
It's a crazy bit of footage
I hope it's real
I would not want to be being chased
by a bear
And then a drone
appears
And I'm being chased by both things now
This is a nightmare
Don't forget
The trick where the bear
Is as I've always said to you guys
if you do find yourself
encountering a bear
always try and get between the mother and its car
yes that's the safest thing you can do
official tip and we are
licensed to give that authority
we do have the authority and experience
we're both outdoorsman
we spent many a time out in there like we're grizzly men we are
exactly yeah and sometimes hostels
right mostly hostile we've been
the looking beach sure we'll be back on
Thursday get you emails
which be Christmas Day
Christmas Day that feels bad that
feels important.
Yeah, we should probably
do something for that.
Yeah.
Probably won't,
in the video version
we might put some snow off
on the screen.
Or a little to some jiggle bells
over the film.
We'll be back on then.
So, yeah,
Merry, pre-Christmas.
Bye.
