If I can't travel through time, how am I here? I should still be one. What happens if you only eat crisps? All these questions you can find the answer to on This Paranormal Life! Welcome back everyone, it is Tuesday, the most paranormal and spooky day of the week. Oh, yeah. I am your host for this week's episode of This Paranormal Life, the only podcast hosted by me and Kit, where every week we rugby tackle, pin down, and noogie a brand new paranormal ghost story beast tale or claim

and come to the conclusion whether it's a weak little nerd that is false or a big, beefy, homecoming king truth. And every week we get put in detention. Every week we get put in the sin bin, a.k.a. jail, for trying to get to the bottom of it. But we are the kings of the jungle gym. And every week we're going to come back angrier and angrier. That's right. This week I have a really great story.

It's an exciting one. Hmm. You know, we talked a little bit about cursed items before yes very recently very recently don't call me out on it but did you know kit if you visit a tiny museum in north yorkshire you can see something very strange go on an old oak chair hung from the ceiling of a museum. Is this it? Is this the story? This is the story. Okay.

So hold your laughter because this is about to get dark. It's hung from the ceiling of the museum by the wishes of its previous owner so that no one would ever be able to sit in it again. Holy shit. And that wish hasn't been broken in over 30 years oh my god so why is it there why the fear why why yeah why i hear what would happen like why the fear why is it there you're like yeah why is it shut up kid give me one goddamn minute questions how did it end questions at the end of the podcast.

How did it end up in North Yorkshire? You're asking questions. Well, to understand these many, many questions, we have to go all the way back to the latter part of the 1600s. Oh. To a small town in Sandhutton. I think I butchered that. Where a man by the name of Thomasomas bubsy owned a local inn

in the late 1600s you say yeah we're going way back long ass time ago now bubsy married a woman named elizabeth the daughter of a local crook oh shit think like mafia dawn style wow someone who you don't really want to like get on the bad side you don't want to mess with this guy but york sure but bubsy was no saint either sure he owned the inn but he was a thief a drunk a thug and a crook it's a town of crooks i feel bad for elizabeth oh elizabeth she was the dirtiest crook of them all behind every crook is an even dirtier crook woman. Behind every successful crook. Bubsy had a crazy temper.

So bad that if you visited his inn and sat in his favorite chair, he would lose it. Don't run a business where you entirely care for visitors don't work in hospitality maybe he was forced maybe it was like a family uh tradition did he keep the chair in his room at least where people couldn't get to it he kept it at the bar okay it was like the most comfy chair there it had a vacant vacant sign on it. I guess every crook needs a cover. It's like Walter White. Yeah, he was like a school teacher. He was a school teacher to cover up the crack.

You know, and like the other guy, and also in Breaking Bad, a lot of my analogies are to do with Breaking Bad. Of course. But like the head crack dealer, who I think ran a chain of chicken restaurants. Yeah, now I think about it. There was a lot of just crack dealers who don't around a chain of chicken restaurants yeah now i think about it there was a lot of just crack dealers who don't deal crack in their daytime and they mostly just wore glasses that was the big cover-up like clark kent just popped them on and they're like where did the drug dealer go crack go excuse me fine sir did you see a drug dealer your height the guy's like he's smoking crack i didn't see him you pig all right have a nice day

son yeah i guess it's a great cover-up it's like oh have you guys seen bubsy the crook no i only know bubsy the kind old innkeeper just don't sit in his chair or he goes bananas all the rugs in the inn have like dead bodies wrapped in them mafia style well both bubsy and his father-in-law being alcoholic asshole crooks it wasn't long before they both began working together but despite their similarities they did not get on well arguments were frequent fights were occasional and bubsy always seemed to be in a foul mood change your lifestyle join aa you obviously you don't like being a crook start exercising being an innkeeper bubsy you have to upend your life at some point you gotta realize you're the problem once you've stolen enough items and wenches.

Well, one day, an angry and pissed up Bubsy returned to his inn to find his father-in-law waiting for him. He threatened to take his wife, Elizabeth, away from him. And then to mock Bubsy, he sat in his favorite chair. The disgrace. You can just imagine Bubsy's big, red big red drunk face just the steam coming out his ears he's rolling up his sleeves popeye style yeah like why i ought to want a little like popeye pipe but it's got crack in it and elizabeth is like olive from also from popeye of course and

she's like trying to hold him back bu Bubsy immediately threw him out of the inn. But that wasn't enough to satisfy his raw, pissed up anger. Yeah. Later that night, he stormed over to his father-in-law's farm and bashed him with a hammer. Whoa. Killing him to death. Not cool.

When the body was discovered, Bubsy was immediately arrested for the murder. Of course. You can commit a lot of crimes,sy was immediately arrested for the murder. Of course. You can commit a lot of crimes, but that one really took the biscuit. And they knew, obviously, right then, there, who had done it. Yeah, motive, everything all wrapped up. Although I do like the idea of the police, like, dragging him away, and he's like, You've got no evidence.

You've no proof that I did it. It's like, we heard you threatened to kill a man for sitting in a chair He takes a swing at the police officer With another hammer How'd you get that? I wasn't actually threatening people It's just one of those phrases Kick your ass, wring your neck

Smash your f***ing head in with a hammer And hide the evidence when the cops show up We're actually going to skip court And bring you straight to jail In the summer of 1702 Bubsy was tried and sentenced to death for murder his punishment was to be hung from a gibbet what's a gibbet it's kind of what they did to uh pirates you know when you're in that kind of like metal human shaped cage and you're just kind of hung there uh and you can't move until you like die and what the

yeah i've never heard of that before my life oh really yeah it's literally like a little human shaped cage they put you in so you can't move and obviously you just die of starvation holy shit and then you're left there to rot i thought you said it was hanging uh well hanging by the gibbet hung from a gibbet what the hell i think they used to do it well they did it to pirates because they would do it on the coast so if pirates came to dock they'd be like oh shit look at the gibbets pirates not welcome and then like a smaller gibbet for like their parrots pirates and then an even smaller gibbet for their tiny monkey accomplice with an eye patch. But as they dragged him to his execution, he cried out,

You think you can stop me? You think this is the end of Bubsy? I'll always be watching. And if anyone sits in my f***ing chair, you are dead. You've got quite a lot of time to, you know, it's not like regular hanging that we think of, you've got like one chance at the let's like in the movies you got the one chance at the last words you gotta think of something cool but it sounds like hanging by this gibbet thing you've got days potentially yeah i don't know if he realized that going in because he kind of

he kind of had his big monologue and then they obviously put him in the gibbet he's kind of probably there for another like at least week or two weeks also on second forts didn't do any of it uh incidentally he was also hung by the gibbet right across the road from his inn that's cruel it's really cool so presumably people were just going into the inn and like rubbing their ass on his seat all right get your ass out of there after he died the inn was later named the bubsy stoop inn i guess in his named after the stoop itself in his sad little honor yeah uh in which it retained this name until it closed in 2012. So it was open until really recently.

Jesus. But what happened with this chair? How did it get from being this weird little chair to be hung up in a museum where no one can sit in it? Well, after Bubsy died in 1894, over a hundred years later, well over a hundred years later, a local chimney sweep was working at bubsy stoop inn on his work break he grabbed a pint from the bar and decided to rest his legs he stopped at a vacant chair in the corner a dark wooden chair layered in dust don't do it don't do it kid just

sit in the ground unaware of the rumors that surrounded it, Just that. The man sat down on Bubsy's cursed chair. And he was fine. Okay, just a regular chair. The pint wasn't poisoned. No ghost grabbed his soul. Yeah. No phantom hammer caved his head in. He finished his pint and went back to work.

But while sweeping a chimney no more than five minutes later, the man lost his footing, tumbled down the roof, and fell onto the hard stone to his death. No. Yeah. I was, I can't remember how chimney sweeping works. Most of my knowledge of chimney sweeping comes from Mary Poppins. Yeah.

I thought they did it from the inside of the house. I guess maybe if there's a blockage at the top you got to go up there you know there's a blockage after he sat in that chair there was a demon-sized blockage in that chimney yeah they were like chimney was working fine to your fat ass sat in the curse chair now you got to go up there and fix it also if you're a chimney sweeper working on rooftops i don't think you should be having a pint i'm not saying that was related to i'm not saying it was related but the pint was 21 alcohol during the second world war the pub became a popular drinking spot with rcaf airmen and the chair's nasty reputation continued those

pilots who were brave or dumb enough to sit in bubsy chair never returned from the war oh shit because you would expect that these army cadets would be so highly trained so physically fit that they could withstand anything that some sort of demon curse could throw at them they should be able to spot a curse from 200 yards indeed if they fell off the roof they are trained to jump out of a flaming aircraft by a parachute so they should be safe yeah but um they didn't even survive the war again granted a lot of people didn't survive sure a lot of wars sure so yes we could we could you know if we wanted to say this was just a coincidence it's like they say not all people who died in the war sat in bubsy's chair right all people who sat in bubsy's chair died in the war

the old the old saying well yes this could be a coincidence if it had stopped there death continued over the years people who sat in the chair crashed their cars on the way home died from unexpected heart attacks and one cleaning lady didn't even sit in the chair crashed their cars on the way home, died from unexpected heart attacks, and one cleaning lady didn't even sit in the chair. She just knocked into it by accident. That's not fair. She knocked into it by accident and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Oh, that's ridiculous.

That's a slow summer, isn't it? No one sat in the chair and he was grasping at straws at that one. Yeah, she gave it a loving dust. Yeah. She was a cleaning lady, gave it a dust to stop Bubsy's show getting too dusty.

And Bubsy's ghost is like, you f***ing saw it. You f***ing did what? You sat on it. You all saw it. She sat on me. I'm well within my rights to curse her.

You know that like, he called himself like a world-class criminal and he was like, yeah, the in things just to cover you know but you know the in was his full-time gig 100 the criminality was was very much like stealing penny chews he wasn't making any money off of it yeah maybe nick knocking old people's houses that kind of level of crime which is weird because he was really good at being

an innkeeper he should have gone all in on being an innkeeper like that was a good part of his life yeah some people attribute up to 60 deaths to the chair so it wasn't long before the now owner tony earnshaw decided to lock the chair in the cellar down there no one would ever suffer its wrath again i mean until they unlock the cellar and then just go down there i think just throw it out smash it we don't want to smash it because well you know that might free some sort of curse upon the whole town at least now he's confined to the chair one day a delivery man from the brewery was in the cellar restocking the bar what i thought the cellar was locked was secure well it was kept

away from all humans it's obviously it's locked to the public but it's still a cell oh my god this is ridiculous that's like saying you've got a baby i'm being like i'm going to keep my katana collection in the cupboard yep that'll do it cupboard's fine baby you'll never find it there it is a it's not a great idea it's kind of like all right to keep it safe we're gonna uh lock the chair away in the old convention center that's only used once a year for the sitting convention where every santa's grotto oh what a horrible way to get cursed. Sitting on Santa's lap. Little kids going walking up.

You're like, oh, go talk to Santa. Tell him what you want for Christmas. You're like, oh, hi Santa. You look up and it's just f***ing Bubsy sitting on the chair. Alright, you little shit. His face is melting like an Indiana Jones. One day, delivery man from the brewery was in the cellar restocking the bar. Earnshaw went down to check on the delivery man, just as he was about finished unpacking.

The delivery man said, There you go, Earnshaw. Your stock's replenished. That'll keep those drunkards at bay for at least another week. You're funny, Jimmy. replenished that'll keep those drunkards at bay for at least another week you know funny jimmy before he left the delivery man turned and said by the way you shouldn't keep that chair down here it's far too comfy to be locked in the cellar how comfy is this thing how comfy does a chair have to look before someone comments on it that it's going to waste i have seen pictures of this chair it is not a comfortable looking chair you have to be a drunk to think that if i was if i was in a cellar and i saw a lazy boy premium luxury armchair with drinks holders and mini fridge installed i would not say you are

you're wasting that lazy boy please take it upstairs yeah because i mean seeing this thing this is an old old ass wooden chair so unless the whole idea is that it's got that like kind of like uh indiana jones the last style. You know, like the Holy Grail. Jesus' Holy Grail is the dusty ass wooden one. Like the rustic, yeah. Yeah, because it's like, oh, you know, Jesus was humble and he was a carpenter. So that's like his sacred one. That's like Bubsy's chair.

Like, oh, which chair is Bubsy's? Is it the lazy boy? Is it this throne? Is it a beanbag? Is it this throne? Is it a beanbag? Is it this beanbag? No, is it this tiny little horrible crooked old wooden chair? Yeah. Could make sense.

It could make sense. Although, again, it's just reiterating the fact that he was a shite crook. Yes. Like, he didn't have the throne. He didn't have a lazy boy. His throne was a bar stool. Well, that's right on his break the delivery man sat in the chair sure oh i'm just wait what was his voice which is a terrible

i'm just so parched from delivering all these kegs of delicious beer i'm so tired I need a good sit down. If only there was somewhere comfy for me to lay my buns. Oi! Oi, over here! Who said that? It's me, Bubsy. Who's that? What? It's Bubsy. Who's Bubsy?

What do you mean, who's Bubsy? It's me, Bubsy. I'm the f***ing chair. I'm the chairman. You're the chairman of the inn. The chairman. You run the place. No, I'm the f***ing chair, I'm the chairman. You're the chairman of the inn. The chairman, you run the place. No, I'm the one, I'm f***ing, how long have I been down here? Just come over here and have a sit.

Wait, or don't have a sit. I don't remember what I want anymore. I don't quite understand you, Mr. Chairman, but this chair over here looks mighty comfy, so I'm going to go for a sit anyway. Shortly after, the delivery man sat on Bubsy's chair, his truck veered off the road, colliding with a tree. What? While he was in the chair?

Later. Oh. And leaving him dead. He died after he sat in the chair. Did he also have a couple of pints? Probably. Probably. Probably chugging them while he's going. He's got kegs in the back. But does that mean it's not

cursed who knows who knows a lot of the people yes they come into um ill fortune are pissed at the time because a lot of the people went to the bar sat in the chair had a couple pints and crashed their cars yeah so you know what's the consistency here it's difficult because you know, what's the consistency here? It's difficult because, you know, we do have this consistency of the chair. But at the same time, I would have a little more confidence if this chair existed in maybe a yoga studio or maybe a gymnasium where sort of healthy people who are invested in life go to hang out. Granted. vested in life um go to hang out granted granted rather than uh drunks who maybe drove to the bar started drinking and then drove home yeah i do know what you mean like the clientele that are suffering the wrath of this chair i mean it's inevitable like that wrath was coming that wrath was coming around the corner they just so happened to sit in a chair before it hit them if sitting in bubsy's chair is what

pushed you over the edge you were on the edge anyway yeah that's a good way to look at it just like yeah you know uh chris actually died from bubsy's chair smoked uh two packs a day 20 years straight one day in bubs's chair, next thing you know, heart attack. It's crazy. It's crazy how that happens, man. That f***ing chair. We gotta do something about it. He lights up another cigarette. Well, this was the final death and the final straw. Earnshaw decided that the chair was too dangerous. Right, we gotta destroy it. We gotta get it out the door. We gotta at least maybe ship it to the moon. Not a bad idea.

But then, you know, you got little aliens sitting on this chair. They're crashing their moon cars on the way home. I guess. Earnshaw decided the chair was too dangerous. And in 1978, he donated it to the Thirsk museum in north yorkshire where it remains to this day hung from the ceiling so no one can ever sit on it again right because yeah if it's hanging from the ceiling yep pretty hard to sit in it and as we said the people who now look after the chair are under strict instructions to never let anyone sit in this chair circumstances and people have

gone you know not even just regular Joes like you and me. We're talking like, you know, producers for TV shows trying to get a chance to sit in this chair, but no one is allowed to do it, you know. I have a picture of Bubsy's chair right here if you want to see it. Finally, let me see just how comfy this thing must be. For so many people to sit in it,

despite being hundreds of years old apparently i mean this is what a 400 year old chair oh it is ancient yeah 300 at least all right you want to see this bad boy yeah feast your eyes on the least comfortable looking chair it is what are you talking about 90 degree right angle there is no there is there is nothing but back support this is this ladies and gentlemen looks like an executioner's chair the kind of chair that you get electrocuted on in the green mile it's somehow so much more uncomfortable looking than any chair i've ever seen this is more uncomfortable than the iron throne itself it doesn't look deep enough that your full ass can sit on it but it's also not high enough so your knees are flush i think they'd be up kind of yet the back is about eight foot

tall so your head can only rest against wood it's so impractical i don't know why anyone i mean bubsy you had any chair you could have chosen any chair as a thief you could have any chair you wish oh so it's your in you own all the chairs why would you pick this one i yeah it's it's your f***ing inn. You own all the chairs. Why would you pick this one? I, yeah. It's a bad chair, people. Terrible chair. It's a real bad looking chair. But again, Indiana Jones style.

Maybe this is the one that draws people in. Yeah, this is the humble carpenters. I mean, if you told me that that chair belonged to Abraham Lincoln himself, I'd believe you. Why? Because it's a humble honest chair right okay i get it i i do understand okay yeah like again yep same with jesus he humble guy carpenter he's gonna have the wooden cup that's what i'm saying although you would be livid if if you were the explorer that went there and uh you know you finally make it in the tomb and the knights of templar are like you must choose the holy grail yeah drink from the cup that jesus brought into this world you're like all right well boom humble dude he was a carpenter he was like a chill guy

like i see a lot of fancy ones here but bam this one right here in the back dusty as shit it's gonna give me splinters when I drink it. Here we go Start chugging away. Yeah, I Don't feel so I don't feel so great. What the fuck are you doing? That's my cup That's not part of the cup challenge is a Starbucks cup. It's got my name Cathedra carved into the side they spelled it wrong good at Starbucks. I told you to pick carved into the side. They spelled it wrong, cause it's Starbucks. I told you to pick Jesus's cup. Jesus, the king of kings.

The king of men, the king of the Jews, the son of God. Look at this one over here. It's made of pure gold. You can turn water into wine. Don't you do anything? Oh my God, melt, melt away. You just dissolve in front of him.

The next guy like walks up. All right. All right, now at least you got a bit of backstory. What cup do you want to go for? He's like, I think it was that McFlurry. The Knight of the Templar is eating the McFlurry? What? The one in my hand? Why would it be the one in my hand?

You must know it's not this. It's not even a cup. How did you explorers get in here? They're obviously dumb and you know nothing of history. So bold and so dumb. Now we know a little bit about the chair. Yes. We know about its history.

We know about Bubsy. Yes. We know about the deaths. Yes. We've seen pictures of this uncomfortable bad boy hanging from a wall. Yeah. Kit, is this thing paranormal shite it's hard to know so the crux of of what makes this paranormal supposedly

is that bubsy's persona of pure evil for some reason whenever he was executed and left this world left some kind of residual dark energy in the way that ghosts do that still inhabits the chair to this day and apparently passes on bubsy's murderous intentions onto whoever sits there so what we have is kind of a straight up curse this is touch and transaction you touch this thing you die yeah it's as simple as that which is quite disappointing because for such a colorful story of how it became cursed i mean there's there's little to no relevance to the origin right i mean it's not it's not that you then have murderous tendencies uh-huh it's not that you know something was stolen from you or you befall an accident involving a hammer you're just

cursed yeah it's a little disappointing it's not like bubsy visits you in your dreams yeah i don't mean okay so granted this is one of these stories that's surrounded in folklore and legend and there's a couple different versions of how certain events of it played out some say bubsy cursed the chair as he was dragged to the gibbet others say um that the authorities allowed him to have one last drink in the chair before he died so he his spirit kind of remains around the chair and surrounded by it there's a couple different versions of that but the main story is man died man hates people sitting in his chair you sit in his chair you die

yeah that's essentially it this thing's on a pretty good kill streak yeah uh you know as compared to say maybe something like the dibbuk box where maybe the curse has befallen lots of people such as post malone who have come in contact with it in all likelihood as a public publicly visible item lots of people have seen it touched it and nothing's happened yeah whereas what we can say about this thing is a decent proportion of the people who've come into contact with it something's befallen them it's true so statistically it's not doing too bad also i would point out that you know we don't want to be biased on this show we've previously talked about the curse of tutankhamun and the idea was that whoever went into his tomb messed around with his things would

be befallen by an ancient egyptian curse and there was some reason to believe that that was true because plenty of people on the expedition died things Things went wrong. You know, who are we to say that Bubsy can't place a curse of his own? Why does Tutankhamun get to place ancient curses and Bubsy doesn't? Exactly. I think the placing of curses are not restricted to simply royalty. That's right. Common folk can place curses as well. Yeah.

And as you said, you know, we did look at the dibuk box um a week ago two weeks ago a similar cursed object and while it had less casualties there was a more detailed timeline of how many people it cursed and where it went they said up to 60 people have been killed by the chair yeah i don't know how many people sat in that chair right over those years and came to that pub i mean the ratio could be terrible well that's true we did say it was at least 300 years old whereas like pretty much everyone who touched or came in contact with the dibu box was smelt cat piss or saw shadow people or were haunted pretty terribly although the cat piss is a pretty low bar of like curse yeah well that's i wanted to go from nothing to you know

cat piss to shadow people the full spectrum yeah of cursing um and not that it's a competition but we did put up a poll on twitter for that episode right see what the paranormal commune thought about this box and after 360 votes it's 65 people saying that box is cursed af wow 35 saying it's just a box and this is why democracy just doesn't work people because the people just don't know what they think i think i'm happy that we threw it to the public on that episode where even i wasn't sure what the conclusion was but in this case i'm not sure if i even have enough convincing evidence to throw it to the public i think my own personal poll is flying up the the no flag right pretty high on this one but that's just my personal opinion i think anytime

we we have a story like this where even the story has four different ways of being told yeah i mean that's a flag on the play. Yeah, I'm not even convinced Bubsy happened. Wow. I need some receipts. I need some receipts on the whole Bubsy thing before we start getting to Bubsy's cursed chair. I knew you were going to be skeptical at the end of this podcast. I didn't think you'd believe Bubsy wasn't real.

Maybe the chair or the curse wasn't real, but f*** Bubsy himself? Yeah, I think personally for me, think you'd believe bubsy wasn't real maybe the chair or that the curse wasn't real but bubsy himself yeah i think personally for me with the information that i could gather it's it's a no i don't think this chair is haunted there just doesn't seem to be enough here does there like how come the cleaning lady gets to bump into it and then dies but then like the curatorial staff at the museum get to like hang it up yeah they're all fine and that's all fine i don't really understand because it's just hanging there presumably you can still touch it and people aren't just dropping like flies yeah i don't know man i think i think in

the case of bubsy's cursed chair it's going to be a no for me this week unfortunately yeah until uh listen the great great grandchildren of sir bubsy the third get in contact and say hey you sir bubsy was was a scholar and a crook uh then so still a crook i think it's gonna be a no for me also i like that whatever he does in his life he's still and a crook yes of course so obviously you know even if he wasn't murdered he would go on to become a father and a crook yeah and uh then teach the local schools as a crook presumably that's what his headstone reads it's like father brother mentor dirty crook liar um all right double no this week hell all i can say is until this museum has the balls to lower this bad boy and let me sit my plump butt on it it's gonna remain a no so the only way that this will be a yes is if you die

damn right like all these podcasts should be uh thank you so much for listening to this episode of this paranormal life i hope that this episode wasn't as uncomfortable as the chair itself nine foot tall one foot wide definitely uh go look up a picture of this chair if you haven't seen it because man my back hurts just by looking at it it's crazy anyway thank you so much for listening to the episode i hope you enjoyed it bit of a weird funny one this week you know we like we'd like to get a nice balance between the comical ones the serious ones and obviously this was just another serious one yeah because uh bubsy's no joke guys let us know what you think about bubsy's chair by emailing us at this paranormal life podcast at gmail.com and while you're there email some of your own cases you know get weird send in some

I once saw a man sneeze on the subway and he went flying down the carriages at like a hundo miles per hour. Holy shite. I don't even know how he leaves the house in the morning. It's crazy. Christ alive.

Yeah, but you know what? The only thing more tender than his bones is his heart. Because here he is supporting us on Patreon and we appreciate it. Oh, I see his profile picture here. He's entirely purple. Yeah. He's more bruised than mine. That made of glass.

He's a walking purple stained glass window. Thank you also to Kate McClintock. Well, if it isn't a right Kate. That's right. You thought Bubsy was freaking quick to anger. You should meet Kate here. Holy shit. She doesn't even have a favorite chair.

Just anything. Her bed, her freaking closet, her desk. If you even walk in and drink from her cup, she just slaps that out of your hand and curses your life. The kind of unfair bit is that she pretty much just decides what's hers. It's not even really just the things that are hers. She'd just walk into your room and just point at things and go, mine, mine, mine. And you have to drop it because she will flip.

Immediately, she spots your AirPods and is like, oh, I like those. They're Kate's now. They're all Kate. They're so expensive. I need them. Give them to Kate. Oh, fine.

You got to just give it, because she will curse you. Luckily, we're on her good side, Kate. So, thank you for your support. She just emailed me to say mine. I think she means the Patreon or the podcast. Alright, Kate. We'll give you this month, but we need it back, Kate.

Thank you also to Ricard Person. Well, if it isn't one rock- hard person. This guy does not quit working out. Oh my God. He's surpassed being sort of a human level of built into mostly if he stands still for long enough, holding a cool Arnold Schwarzenegger pose, he just looks like a rock. Yeah.

Not the rock, just a boulder. He starts to get like stalactites like hanging from parts of his body. Schwarzenegger pose, he just looks like a rock. Yeah. Not the rock, just a boulder. He starts to get, like, stalactites, like, hanging from parts of his body. He just becomes a statue. Bats very much nest in him. That's right. I don't even know how, but some sort of sea coastal wave starts to brush against him. Even if he's, like, mainland. It's crazy.

Dude is a borderline cliffside. It's crazy. Dude is a borderline cliffside. And yes, he is eroding, but not so quickly that he can't chill out and listen to a podcast every now and again. I mean, you got a lot of time to hang out if you're a rock. And we think you rock. So thanks for supporting us. Thanks also to Alexander Spinelli. Alexander Spinelli Bolognese.

The guy served good cold. The guy served good hot. Good on every meal. Good on every dish. You put Bolognese on anything? Yeah, you know. You get cold? Yeah, cold, you put it on a bit of ice cream.

Hot, you put it on like a little bit of ice cream. I like that you like Bolognese that much, i don't like bolognese that much i like alexander that much oh i see that's right he is he's a dish like revenge best served 24 7 you're a very spiteful person me and alexander are very spiteful people that's why we get along thank you alexander good to see you again and thank you to sandy it's actually good to hear from sandy uh sandy's real name is mandy it's a bit of a sad story when mandy was back doing a school trip to the south of france um the other kids kind of banded together and dug a big pit and buried her up to her head in sand wow um unfortunately they buried a little too deep and she was never able

to get out so she mostly stayed there okay um and is mostly sand at this point human head got it but kind of just figured out how to make things work just eats passing crabs and uh birds and things like that you know it's not the most luxurious life, but hell, she's got a good tan. Great tan. Her skin is sun-kissed. To say the least. To say the least. She is barnacle-covered.

She is burnt to a crisp. When the tide comes in, you gotta get her a snorkel. Evolution has worked fast. She's developed fangs to better eat the crabs. It is an incredible... She's a bit of a crab herself now I think about it. She's a borderline crab. She has crab hands,

crab claws. Second name crab. Come to think of it, Sandy Crab. Wait, we just checked. This is from a sand crab. It wasn't Mandy. It wasn't Sandy.
