Why didn't I do that?y up that way I did a play called two twenty two I did it I did it the first time round And there was this line there just just couldn't get it right And I didn't understand it And then, um And then and then I finished my run and I kept thinking about that line And I spent a whole year going over it until I went That's how I should have done it. Yeah. That's it. That's exactly it. And then they asked me if I'd do it again Yeah I do another run of it. And I went, yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it again. because I've spent a whole year. working out how to how to do this one long thinking that I wasn't getting across correctly I think like I just I don't man. I don't Well sometimes it's worth I mean, I'm sure that you kind of benefited from all that thinking. you must have. So that Yeahah. so that thing that took me over a year to work out in my brain Pe like Roger Federer They do it in half a second. Yeah. They just sort of so clinical and they're just like, right, that was what went wrong. I need to do that. I need to do this.. And they're ready to carry on playing And I assume that's the same with business business people and entrepreneurs and stuff like that Be you know, all those successful people have got incredible story, all those Steve Jobs people and stuff like that, they've had to Don't just makeake apple And or or, you know, they don't just make Microsoft. There's a whole thing that I had to go through and setbacks and overcome and they've all got this thing in them where they can, they can just overcome it Like the in betweenween is I gotatch j up when I was nineteen particularly feel like I tried really hard to get that job. I just auditioned, I just sort of did it If it was, I don't know, if I'd had more adversity in my life, I think I would have Even the little adversity I've got in my life right now do fucking crumble and become a mess I'm always amazing people deal with adversity veryer young, I think that I mean, I think I'm probably better at dealing with diversity now, but I feel like it's because I've had Mly three decades worth of various sorts of adversity I don't know. it's almost like I've had one of every different sort of adversity. So now when something comesong I'm like, oh yeah, I recognize you, you're this sort of adversity. Yeah I can't really imagine Each one of those types ofversity when I've encountered it for the first time, I've been like, well, this is a disaster. There's nothing I can do. I can't possibly carry on. I mean Yeah, I think that's Yeah. It's weird. I I think it has to do with Fear is U when I was at school I was really u Fearful of light the future like genetic engineering and robots and stuff. Right My tactic was, I'll just drop all science. I just won't learn any science you carried it on as well Terrified about I was right. I was right. I don't know much about AI, but I know that he uses a lot of water. Is that right Yeah, I think the like the machinery that they use for like big data centers basically require a lot of cooling Yeah. but I think it's because They say that that should reduce with time as the technology develops. But the moment there's big data centers that basically require a lot of cooling, which requires a lot of water. It's a lot of specifically fresh water, right? They can't I'm not a hundred percent sure about that.'t you salt water.t I assume they can't clog up the But I mean, hapes But Yeah We' up its pipes tubes. is coming from We'll clog up the de position of Nolet then the robot We go Ah, I don't know what's going on I'm sort of torn now. I wouldn't say I'm but I definitely I cant let you do that, Dave Oh yeah B boring film, by the way. What is it? Is it one with a car? No, that's k it All right, It was it how. How. Sorry yeah. D Dave is kit. What's funny about I feelilm like with AI, we'd done all the philosophy about it before we had the stuff. And now we've got the stuff and we're like, Yeahah, the philosophy' is sort of basically right. We do that, were we? Yeah We'll always do that. In the nineties there was lots of people worrying about techology. evenven though technology couldn't actually do anything. war, Wars still happen. even though we know they're all terrible. Yeah Nobody noobbody really wants to go to war. mean I mean more like like Asimov had come up with this idea of like the ethics of robotics in like the nineteen fifties, even though were there weren't really any robots. but he was like, Yeahah but when we do have them, we'll need some rules. So obviously the first rule would be a robot can't harm a human, right Right? And you're like Yeah I suppose that is basically correct. Yeahah. He's like, yeah, but there's probably need to be aule before that because you might to have a rule where like a robot could harm one human to save a hundred. And you're like Yeah, I suppose that Yeahah, that's probably true. I mean, where are you getting this from? But like there is there is a sort of There is a sense that like it's as though we've We've been ready for it for so long. Yeah, but we're ready for everything. anything An ready we're ready for anything. No Yeah. no, no yeah. I mean, we're aware. Oh sure. you're not ready, but we're aware of any disaster that could possibly happen A you know, when you when you think about the Middle Ages and like fucking hundredundred years war and And then and all those battles that were going on all around Europe and all this nonsense. Yeah. like we all look we read about that stuff and we look back and go, God, fucking primitives. What a bunch of idiots St still doing the same. Yeah. stillill do the same stuff. it And it's for all the exact same reasons. I know Yeah L we just don't learn, do we? We don't really learn. No, it is true. Which is why we wanted to do this podcast. We're trying to find teach people. We wanted to teach just trying to teach and like And then eventually we're going set up a little community and you'll come and live with us and you give us money Yeah Like we'll take most of it. Th then we'll poison each other And Well no O our enemies will say we're poisoning each other, but actually we're just getting rid of these earthly bodies So that the bit of us that lives forever can go and live on our planet. Yeah that we've found out about and that I've done a drawing of I' all have a little pet philanthrop. Well have a little Palilanthro for meks. They're there waiting for us. They miss us. They miss us like crazy. And they're sending out they're sending out their signals They're reaching out through space. seen this? We can only listen. Listen, do you remember u Early Louis Thureu where used to do weekends And you did that one on the aliens. Yeah. And you went to that bloog and he was like,! Now receiving Yeah guys, Do you remember that? Stand by? Yeah. Oh, you are killing the planet. I love all that. I want him to go back to that shit. I know It's too fucking easy to find weirdos now is a problem. but I' found one where just here I running the country just yeah. yeah. he's become he's still got his thing Lie through, but he's talking to people You's talking to too many people that are aware of being Whereas he needs to go back to do his do his stuff where he's just I Looking at the camera again. But Yeah You're like, you didn't even need to say stuff. Yeah, He just let them do things Um So yeah, he'd just be like, And do you think there's any reason that the alien has chosen to just talk to you? Yeah This is really good I am really so Yeah. He's got a he's got such a special charm. He's got such a charm because he would. he could be like Is there not a chance you think that you're just making this up Yeah this is all bullocks It's yeah, even he even made an incredibly compelling documentary about Michael Jackson without getting anywhere near Michael Jackson He was trying really, really hard to um He was fascinated with Michael Jackson And he followed him around on tour and he spoke to a load of fans, Michael Jackson, like super fans Yeah, spoke to his dad at some point, spoke to some guy who was a magician sort of was an orphan or something and was brought up by theack or claimed to have been brought up by the Jackson family. It was all really weird and really, really fascinating, really, really interesting. He could not And he's and he spent the whole time trying to get in a room in Michael Jackson And then it then it was like, Oh, we've just got news. he speaks to Yuri Gella. Yeah. and he's like, do you reckon you could get me in Michael Jackson you guys? Possibly, we may be able to get you know like Win England, win Yurri Ga? Whats he doing now? What the fucks, youur ga? What's Yur Gella's job He bend spoons Yeah bends your mind. Watch watch as I bend this spoon Um, but u And then Yuri Gela goes and then he and then the news breaks that Jack' decided to go with Bashir. These you remember the bigicha Martin Bashheer thing with Michael Jackson? That was fucking amazing. abbsolutely incredible. Okay. I'd love to rewatch that. Can't find it. Can't find it anywhere Um kind uh And then Louis Thureou confronts Yurigela. Sing what happened? I thought. I thought you were going to get me the big scoop. I hear now that M Bashir is spending the next few weeks with Michael Jackson and doing an the in depth documentary And the light are get as that Well You you can be a bit sneaky We were worried. We were worried. But Urri Gella had sorted outQite quite a fair description of to be fair EP is a little bit sneaky. But Urri Gella was the person that brokered the deal between or had something to do with the deal between him and Bashir. and obviously that documentary Everyone watched that was like What the fuck? What is going on here? That was where the whole thing came out where he was like o, I just sleep with the children. There's nothing weird. No being ignorant? No, we just sleep in the same bed. We're all right. There's nothing going on. And Besshi is like, Right, okay. Yeah. So that bad PR. Yeah probablyro Michael Jackson shouldn't really have done an interview with anyone. And and I think Hurri Gella was like, Yes, Michael Jackson isn't talking to me at the moment. L he was like because because he was the he was the sort of it's very difficult to just sell the idea that you just have got a best friend who's a child in Uriellen, where people are like,h just What is it say again? I' just miss my best friend. It's just a child. Oh Oh ne's say again Wh is my best friend the child? Oh just I can't It's just something get. I don' think your best friend can be a child. Heewigela's defense, right? He probably went with old Bashir, he did the Diana stuff and he's a bit he's a bit more of a sort of He is a bit more of a respected journalist then Louis Thureau,. who was a student with a camera basically Yeah. So Iriigel has gone, I think you should go Martin forire E For Michael Jackson to then fall out of Er Gad and was like, o that he stitched me up. I would have gone, I think he stitched your cell ph, right Yeah. I don't think I don't think Bashir stitched you up there. Yeah. it's not Yeah it's very difficult to think of who Michael Jackson could have been paired with that wouldn't have had the same outcome. Exactly. Who's this person who's supposed to interview being like, Oh, I love all this all this stuff with the kids is great. Yeah, well done Here's a fascinating bit where Louis Thoreau I think he gives hands over like five thousand dollars of his own money or something like that. to try and get an hour with Is it Randy Jacks? or is his dad Is that his stad's name And um And it's like Oh you're supposed to be, he turns up like S hours late or something like that. and they're like, oh, we've only got twenty minutes and And then it becomes very clear that u This guy's just trying to talk to Louis through about this girl band that he's trying to put together Joseph, they of course shred, Joseph. Jo. Those documentaries are amazing. The Louis through weird weekend stuff before I am Yeah, like even the stuff with um Who was that couple? That sense of you were getting a camera in a place where there'd never been a camera before I remember a few weeks ago I was asking you about the as people that are genuinely interested in British comedy, the SNL, UK thing. Yeah. and I've not I've not watched an episode because I've felt like I haven't had to because it really does live on the internet. It really does get clipped up and lived on the internet I'll be honest with you. It's been I think it's been great. I I've watched all of it and I loved it. I think it's been great seeing that stuff. And I think it works on the internet and it's sort of it's almost as if the show, the actual show is a byproduct. What they want is it for the stuff to go via on, TikTok and Instagram. And it is and it's going well And does I genuinely sort of just love seeing Young people and they are young. I am I am on the other side now. They're probably on TikTok Of course they are. They know exactly what they're doing. They know what it is. given a chance to do stuff and to and honestly it really a lot of the stuff that I've seen, it reminds me of Pete and Dud. and really bizarre Bushy quite off the wall, quite u And the and the, you know, I'll call them kids because they are to me They are to us, you know, ye not age wise, but But in terms of like they're probably twenty years younger than muz. Well, also well ye one age wise. Yeah also ye also just because we we started out quite young and we're at the other end now. Yeah. I genuinely think we could get a lifetime achievement award or something the age of folksale or something like that because we Be my other ends. I think I've probably V much finished Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah I'm But I love I do. it just That SNL UK thing has made me feel really positive about young people coming into comedy and given a chance and given a chance to You know, listen, no all the sketches work but given a chance to foul Kids don't get that Yeah, that's kids don't get the kids in whatever whatever walk of life you're in, the kids don't get a chance to fuck up. Yeah Even if youre just, even if you're doing something and you get a bit pissed on a night out Someone's recorded on the phone and your boss goes, Oh, I saw this on the interternet, your're f Uh You got make you got to be allowed to make mistakes You know the phrase practice makes perfect. I never hear that anymore. I never because think because I think it is literally because practice basically means failure Yeah. Like if you hear a child practicing the piano, what you're really listening to is a child failing to play the piano So practice really means failure. And if you have a culture that is impatient with failure, which I do think is the culture we have then it becomes very difficult to practice because practice is failure becomes difficult to improve. So if you if you want a culture of improvement, you need a culture that's embraces failure. Yeah So and I think, yeah, I agree with you. It's really good to have a big canvas on which because SNL has obviously been in the states for ages. Yeah. so many people have come through that. And I've watched films without even realizing that these are basically SNL people who have cut their teeth doing this And loads of W thow Eddie Murphy Bill Murray U Dan Acrod What you need is a regular slot. You need regularity, a place where you can perhaps use your craft basically. mean Tes, what is his name Yeah. I imagine it. yeah I hope that this I hope that SNL UK becomes a becomes a sort of platform for these form us to be able to do something similar I mean, the stuff is like what kind of Irish is your grandad? George Fort Ares is so funny. It's fucking mental My granddad was Irish and it is like it's such a bizarre observation Lave even I? I'd never thought about Is's fucking is I'd love it. I think he's great. I right we're back to just sort of fucking having fun again I've got a second series because I honestly, I was like, I don't think it's going to work. I don't think we do things so differently over here than they do over there because they do it fucking Oh year or nine months out of the year, whatever it is Yeah and I think they have a mid season break or a couple of mid season breaks in SNL in New York We don't Do TV like that. We have we have a We have a couple of people write stuff We don't have a fucking baldroom full of twenty people that need to churn out twenty five episodes of ide like the writers's room very American. That' not that's not how we do things here. Yeah. So I was genuinely interested in being like, how the fuck does Does that concept work? And they did, they did it. they sort of met in the middle it was like, oh, we'll do six episodes We'll do six episodes's live, it' on television. We'll do six episodes. We'll have guest come in, we'll have music come in. it'd be it would you know it'd be great fun. They did this six episodes Great, let's go again. Let's do another six episodes. That works and I think I think that will work better and sentially put SNL UK in betteretead than the S andO in America. becausecause I'll be honest with you, man, ninety per W eighty ninety percent of the American SNO is It is what it is you got you got the ten, twenty percent of I mean, I mean not special stuff. Yeah And and I'll be honest, I think getting through the eighty percent of stuff is worth getting into the get into the special stuff. Yeah. But I think this way that they're doing it in the UK gives you a bit more time to let things breathe. Right, We did six episodes will come they'll probably do they'll probably do twelve episodes a year if they keep if, you know Every six months they'll do they'll maybe they're almost slightly doing too much in America, maybe just because way too much It's very difficult to do. You'veven since the seventies, that level of output. Yeah, it's impossible. No one could do it No one could do that. Yeah. It's a miracle that you know, that anything funny comes from SNL in America If something funny comes from SNL America at this day and age that they haven't already done, it's fucking Well done, good good job podcasts show You should you need to just should do six podcasts. Yeah. And then go away and think about it for a bit And what episode are we on thirty seven withith podcast. You need to you need to just, you know, get comfortable with the fact that there's not really, you know, you're going you are going to do the same stories like and and if people have a go at that, like They've really been a bit rude Anyway. anyyway, episode thirty seven, Jo and James facted up Should we do it?

Yes, sir with something that Fred has sent in via the fact out form. Good old right Good oldfred And it's an honest name and it's an honest way to get in touch using the form Probably just use a simple bic byro. Yeah, went through the normal procedures. Yeah he's jumped through the administrative hoops Yeah and now he gets his Rich reward. And this so this is a business idea for me actually. That's well, thats that's how it's been subtitled for that right. It business ofa for I can't wait to wear this Yeah. Yeah, okay. okay Um and so it says Not strictly a fact, but let's be honest, the format's gone well past that now, fair enough, Fred. That's fair enough I was once told the story of a man who brought his own small toll booth to the entrance of Bristol Zoo car park and began charge of entry The story goes you remained there So as a kind of sort of like a little punch and Judy, but he's ye ye. The story goes you remained there for years, earning millions in revenue repeat millions The scam was only discovered when a member of the zoo staff called the local council. to highlight his absence what to say it's not there anymore Yeah. And I where' the told bof got Where's Yeahah, whereere's people who charge entry And and I suppose while I'm on this call Where is all that money going? It really invest byy this time he was long gone with the money No idea if there's any truth to it But I'd love to hear what you guys think reat pod guys, genuinely does br en joy to me. Oh, that'sice. Nice, Thankk you, Fred, R That's a great story. think I don't think it's true U there is a bloke I mean, I done it might these these things do Yeah you do yeah, you do hear you do hear things. So there's a there's a bloke recently. I don't I don't have any figuresd that come to my brain. Bbe Lily M can help me out when I start talking here. But there was a bloke recently, there's some major roadworks going on somewhere in the country. That's the bit of information that would help us out a lot. someere the country is So he fact there's a main road somewhere that is really, really disrupted disrupted. It's going to be disrupted for a while So he is Bill likeike a dirt track through his farm And he's charging people to just skip the traffic and just go get straight onto another road. and he's charging a toll And I don't know This was literally like in the last couple of weeks, I remember reading about this in the newspaper Is he going to reinvest any of the toll money in like getting the road tarmac or like Do you think he? because that's the thing as well. it's a dirt track So even I even I was looking at g Dckon you reinvest and, you know, and get some tarmac down and turn this into a sort of some sort of Yeah. From what I can see, I can see why you've made this link as well because it was What my research show me is that a guy called Mike Watts, who is a businessman from Bath basasically during a road closure between Bath and Bristol. I did think it was in the West Country. Yeah. He created a path And hired a crew to make airt dirt and gravel path that which cost him thousand one hundred fifty thousand pounds and he charged people two pounds to go across it to recoup the Right. The costs of doing it. Wow. And did he I mean, he presumably must have done more than break even Well, he actually said here, but this is like an AI somewhere psychrastistt necessarily, but he says apparently he lost around fifteen thousandars in the end R Let just do it Edinburgh. So he's not Just make your own short film Um, uh Yeah buy a cumper van and then sell it up for seventy five pounds if you're my dad from lose fif. But like I say, that's That was that seems a bit more You know, he't he didn't he didn't make millions and disappears. It's interesting that we It's also located in the Bristol area. And I used to live in Bristol and I had heard of this. You'd heard of this Be this message. The Zoogoy. Yeah was that fact then? And was Bristol Zoo free other than this booth Maybe at the time Yeah, because I'm just saying it might be cheaper Im h to go to Bristol a couple of weeks. Bistol actually no longer. If I upgrade your gold members, can I skip this guy's booth? That's what I'm saying. Who is that bloke? I thinks I think he's died I think he's recently died He was like a lord or something like that, but it was like a a family pererage or something that you know, those things that get handy. Yeah handed down. Rightly so, rightly so. And they used to best do things. There was a daytime TV show that they used to do from there He used to have like some sort of saafari park or something like that. but he was I think I know who you mean actually. I think he was some sort of Marquis or something D he's the one is he the one who might had a statue of? long Yeah The Might was a bath and he had a safari part. Is that right? I think it might have ye. was He was obsession with. He was a proper hippie. He was like a I think he had a stat a crane of two tores having sixties hippie sort of guy. Yeah. And he was like Honestly, I could get on bored of it. He was like, ye I've been given all this stuff I might as well I know I'm not having to it. I' blood it off for your now. But jealous. But he was like he was like a rogue aristocrat Well, they do I think they do go a bit bonkers sometimes because they've got enough money and then like what can I do Jugs fired by go mental, I imagine. Wh's the Geizer who killed his nanny or something and then disappeared and nobody Oh, what fucking happened? Lord Luan. Yeah. ye. he u I think he he did he murder his murder Yeah, he murd his wife And then he fled. But nobody found him. They never found him. found. No, no Yeah I like that You like the wackyer aristocrat. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like the ones that u I don'd love the ones who just make sound business investments and then end up even more rich? She's like, No, that's not fair. No, the point is you're meant to go mental because like you add all the money. so the fair thing. Iite like I quite like the ones that inherit everything and they go, right, and how much does this cost a year to run So they inherit everything, but basically what they've inherited. It's like me Is's like me buying you a Ferrari? Yeah. and going, I was your birthday Joe I bought you a Ferrari Um put ten thousand pounds down on it. you just need to cover the rest of the payments. Yeah And they inherit this stuff and then they have to sort of They sort of turn their they turn the grounds into sort of wedding and aces They're expensive to run. I was speaking to my friend the other day and he said he had a rich mate Ging up and Like his dad had bought like a country house, like a big Yeah He said that when he went aroundound there they they were just kind of in like two or three of the rooms. They're always in like like the snug style rooms. The rest of it and the other rooms like really cold and lightate. Well, no they were they they were late. That's the that's the u That's the plot to the gentleman. The Netflix series. Oh I see. So this guy inherits he's from quite a well to do family and stuff And he inherited inherits all this Stop And' like it cost the fucking fortune to run And who stles in the gentleman? The James. Yeah. yeah. And I was a little bit heartbroken because On the little blurb on the BBC News website where it had the Bond contenders, had Theo James' CV In between his movie, not even on there. Not even on it. Good for his done. Well, good P'sroably good. It's like one of those experience, Get that off your seat. It's like one of those whatsA messages that's just a picture of a turd and you w to get enough, you w to get enough above it. Yeah, so that it's If you w to get so that it's not there anymore, I was like, well, done you bumped it down. If you want to get rid of if you want to get more acting work, get in between it'sself your C then Yeah, it's not doesn't to do you any favor. It's not going to get him in bond, is it It's not no In between us to bond. I honestly was like, oh, I'll probably still have that at least like number two on his CV or something. Were was even there? No. He's done loads to be fair. He's done loads. Absolutely loads. But yeah What was that What was that guy What was the TV show? Well, I'm trying to find I can see up and there's also the Marquisess of Bath. and I think it was Lord Bath. They had land that they had long the long leap L Long L park. Yeah L long Lsfore And he's basically bought a load of lions and And he goes around in what looks like a huge embroidered dressing gown. He dresses like is it Barbar? you know, the ele elephant, the elephant in the dressing g. Like he'sressed as an elephant. Is he dead now though? Yeah, I think he's quite long gone. No, no, not long gone. No it must have been like couple of years ago. Okay. But Emma Thinn, which is about T H Y N N. She's now the marchioness, is that how you say that? Emma Thinn is a fucking great name. Thinn with a Y. I think findine is pronounced Tyine, Emma Tyine. Well No I don't know, I don't know. It would be either. I don't know Emma Moulis or Marquis Um M Markquis, I think It' French. Yeah, but I think it's one of those things where like you actually do pronounce it in D know It's like how we say Phillip When you go to America, Oh yeah, they say fileet. Fill We like don't try I'll love a steak fillet. Yeah I'm honestly like P se Yeah, yeah, that's right No, I think there's I think it is I think it's one of those things where it like, what was that champagne where like Um er of Cico No well give me some time No Moet, you do actually say Moet. You don't say Moet you do actually say Moet So because the French H It's as though they' laid a trap. They're like, you'll say it like this to try and impress us, but actually we don't even want you to. pref We prefer just saying things like the weekend. We don't even like French So don't try to speak French. That's the last thing we want We like speakaking English as a joke. They've got instead of, you know, I mean, this is Probably widely known, but they've got a version of Match of the dayay and it's just called Match of L D day. that's their own joke. They're like It is like they've got this language they't even like it. They're like, well, eventually, ideally, it'll just be all Engl Well we had foot Is this sort funny or something? We had football Italia Yeah, becauseuse that's a football Italia. Yeah channel for. Yeah Great show U goalo Lazio Was wasas he wasas he saying I never knew. wasas he saying goal for Lazio Was it saying G Lazio? I've not thought of it. Because G Lazio. I remember all I remember is the The little channel four used to turn into a little Italian 's He' turned into a little football withs an Italian flag. It was great. It was a littleice good And that because Gaza played foralazio, so I wondered whether it was saying goal for Lazio, which seemed a bit involved. U I don't know What are we saying about this toll booth, Jay I well, I think one thing One thing that would strike me is Is it the fact that Well actually maybe it doesn't matter actually. Was the zoo free and he Um began charging just because no one else was charging I Apparently it was never free Have I said this before that I think it was never free I don't know whether I mention this before, but I One of the things that I find charming about London Zoo is that you, you know, you do pay to go in, but if you just walk around the outside of London Zoo, you can see likeals anyway. like including some of the You know I don't want to have a go there, but the good ones. Right You know what I mean? Yeah gl the glamour G glamour one. Yeah. And you paid go and you're looking some spiders or something. Yeah Another thing that I found out recently, tarantulas, the big spiders, they can live to be like twenty three light. They've got one in there, Trantilla She's got quite a sort of sweet name like Charlotte or something. She's Harleott's Web, I assume that's from Oh yeah, actually I don't think she is called Charlotte. rightight that's just got stuck in my head I Anyway, she's quite u ' quite old. but So It's never been free Um Listen, it's f. You know, let's not talk I like the idea of this little booth. He kind of goes it reminds me in my head. Reminds me of a kind of funny Halloween costume. In my head he's walking with it. Thats it he's walking with it. Yeah. And he just sets it down. Yeah, exactly. And then once he's got a load of money, he goes and spends it on running the London marathon. Yeah and then he stays in the costume And then he gets sponsored and then he makes it all back again Right. No I don't I mean it really appeals to me the idea of this guy going around almost like a comedy robot inside the toll booth. or you know that guy who looks at What's that cost you wear you look like you've got like a you're a monkey in a cage or like you're in a cage being held by a monkey. I don't know that one. I think JP wears it in one of the freshion me episodes But yeah, so I like this. this this this chap going around. U U We better move on then. Okay. I mean I we've got the world up. I can't need to get. I'm not sure he made millions. I think he made millions and then he disappeared. Yeah That's far we don't know. I love it if he made millions and then he bought the zoo and they'd be like, oh, that's annoying becauseuse God,ve you've done us there, they'd be like I see you what C recogned game. I mean ye, you fucker but well. Okay well, enjoy playing with the animals, I suppose. They're yours now. The lion eats Ill just look it out, justust Google it. It's fine. But One of the spiders is quite poisonous. I think it's called I'll just look it. called Charlotte. It's called Charlotte. Yeahah, it's old though So talk to you about the nineties iss fine. I've got to have a piss. Okay that's fine. No No, that's absolutely fine. I'm going go for slash and then we'll be back with worldld up Y Okay, O you go. sorry, I probably I'm not going apologize for tal talkking too much. It is my job, isn't it?. right right there hereere we go. It's Alrighty, good morning job seekers. It's time for World U. Yes which is our tournament that we're running at the moment. Round two It's the it's the biggest tournament that will be going on this summer, that's for sure And we're at round two now U don't This is where we up against each other and we've work out which is the best one I'm worried about the final How many do we get in the final? Well the in the three four five be five facts in the final and then we've got to pick one out of the five. Crect. That's going be tough U Maybe we can do sort of a silver and bronze placement if we feel That's right. I think. Yeah, they do. It's a sort of a you get you get second and third place runners up in in lesser in the other competition that's going on. I think it's going to be kind of craft style final where they'll chop round. I go One, two, three. That's the order We just feel the heat from their anus. Yeah, we do we Is that a thing I wouldn't know feel like they do that in cfts, don' they? There is definitely a bit where they're looking at their eyes. I don't know just Yeah, they're always like looking up the ark. If you're not looking up the ark, what the fuck are you doing? Exactly. Well, let's look up the arse of these next couple of facts. Joe, I think lift up the tail. and look up the ar. Oh beforefore Joe brings us our first fact, I think I believe we've got a jingle T decide . F James and Jason Jes. Joe, I think you've got the first one for this week I do. So this one comes from Donza eighty nine Via Instagram. Donza Donza You spoke to Donza God Donza Wh the fuck is Donza He Donza How you going Das are a be out bring in the Lambs or something. Yeah. Okay Volkswagen's most sold part is actually a sausage Okay. The VW curry vered Parts number one nine, nine three, nine, eight, five zero, zero A VW sold over eight point five million sausages twenty twenty four. Now I was about to say Oh, I've heard this fact U I've just remembered I read it It was in one of the comments of the yeah Correct I've not heard of Volkswagen selling sausages. This is new news to me sell sausages Why would they sell sausages? Well, I suppose they sell sausages because Brits and others. Yeah, probablyro go over to Oober Fest or what have you? Right. And They are Well, What's, you know, what's German W wouldn't it be funny if a car and a sausage andars cars sausages and beers. I imagine there's a lot of pressure at the VW compomany. Yeah You know, they probably turn up and they're probably like how many sausages have we sold this year? Oh, Mfor, we have sold eight point five million Mm good. You have not sold them as enough sausages Take him away G out of my sight. Yeah. that sort of thing. Yeah. No no doubt. No no I mean Um So so you're saying that it's a high pressure working environment. How many sausages have you sold? I'm not sure. Well, we have meays of making your talk. Yeah. That's so I mean look No, I mean can give you some information on this if you'd like. Okay, I'm just going to say this is my guess Yes is that It's kind of a gimmick. It's sort of for an international, maybe a tourist market I don't really understand why It's only the it's only the the the So an eight point five million. Also, it's confusing because seems it's because it's being classed as a part manufacturing part, it's got a number and everything part. Maybe Do they sell them on tours of their factory? Is it a big joke? Is it like our IKEA? Well, IkeEa sell meatballs. They sell a lot of meatballs, don't they? Yeah. So it might be that sort of thing. I think it's kitch a gimmick. Maybe it is for a domestic market, but in which case, it's kind of a joke. It's maybe a souvenir from the VW factory In the same way that you can some car manufacturers make make a little kind of micromachine version of their carars as a present VWI? wouldn't it funy if made a sausage? That's my get. I think it's I think it probably is true, but I think the VW kind of are slightly leaning into the kitch of it. That's my guess Okay. Okay, so from what I've found out that the sausage is actually produced for its factories So for the people who actually work there shhip The factories are quite remote, so it's to create supply for the remote. So They're put in the kitchens of the factory workers So that's what they serve at all the canteens and all that sort of stuff. But as well as that they're also apparently served at football stadiums and given to Volkswagen customers as well A so the most's I think it's a technicality. It's like it's not like we sell sausages If you'reking with VW, shouldn't you be getting your sausage for free This is what well someone's got to pay for the sausage t shirt. Apparently they also ye Aarently they also make their own ketchup as well They go alongside the sausages Maybe they might catchchup Wh Well. I'd prefer a must I'd prefer a bit of mustard Apparent apppparently it's yeah, it's it's's a bit more to it than normal catch normal catch I think to make up for the lack of that's u I feel like that's a tech. like it' I think well they're they're calling apart. I mean, I suppose Do you have to have sauceage? they all. I mean, what I'm saying is if you if you're a vegetarian, is there another part? L you can say, can I'm a vegetarian, so can I not have part number one nine nine three nine eight five o A? Could I please have part number one niney nine? Yeahah B and then there's about broccoli? Yeah or or or a you know, where're not obviously or a What do they call it? can' haven't conructed the bccoli have Corn, a corn sauce. Yeah I think if, you know Woles or, you know, a big sausage company. Um, Is it weird that wools sure out that wools, they're most sold. part is that of BMW. It's weird. because they feed them to there. It weird that wolves make sausage and also ice cream Is it the same company Is is yes So that makes me think that they're people that don't give a fuck. They're just after the old the old Yankee dollar They're just Yeah, we'll sell ice cream, we'll sell sausages. What sausage whatever you want. Mars makes the most cat food or something it The Mars Corporation. they've got their chocolate wing, but they've also got cat and dog food and And I think they also do other domestic sort of products as well. It makes me think they're not in it for the passion I know. They're not chocolate teers, are they? No it you is a chocolateer Neta Lint knew you werere going say Lint I knew you were going I knew you were going to say Lint I knew you were gonna silent. Yeahah. He's a chocolate. That's a fucking chocolate tea So what you like about Lint? their fucking Easter bunnies are out of this world. I'm not saying anything about Lint. I think Lint It's like we were doing me How does a Linkint girl? me and Claire were doing them seventy percent. We were doing our tour over Christmas. Hanah they haven't got Lint. Do you want you want another one? O Easter.e and Claire were doing our tour over Easter. And who was it that got those links Was it you Yeah Our manager arranged for some treats because it was over Christmas Over Easter Heasta Butver . Easter sort of the anti Christmas, isn't it Well Eter It's complete opposite of Christmas. Well, Easter's like good news and bad, I suppose, isn't it? It's like Christmas Christmas is likeow, we'll see. But listen I can't keep up with Christmas is's a. But it was born Christmas and he's fucking born again on Easter. I know I'm struggling here, Jesus. Help me out. Christmas is like baby's here, could be good, could be bad. Easter's like, He was good, but bad news, he's de. He's dead. But good news good. He's alive. He's alive U Yeah This is a complicated story.'s a much simpler story. because' like the baby's been bn. Yeah. Well, no toad it was complicated because There was no the time. Yeah, other than God. I mean, dreember that. Oh, the Holy Spirit will come on you. Dreember that That was unbelievable. We knew it was coming every Christmas. I'll be honest, the I will like get pregnant. Holy Spirit will come on you. I feel like if Jeremy the Bible. I feel like if Jeremy Carl was around Bethlehem Around Christmas Christmas. obbviously it wasn't called Christmas time at the time We would have gone Cosi's the child's father. They would have done paternity tests Imagine that She says that is a that's like a Jerry Springer episode She's pregnant, I've not had sex with her yet She reckons it was God. pooor old Joseph just said they went, Yeahah, all right then Okay admit it, admit it. Yeah You were too busy out having a good time. Yeah Do know what my manangjer is? Is itough? It's a bit of horses to eat out of. Yeah Dog in the manger. Yeah. That's another thing as well. The dog was ey didn't want I never underered the dog in the manger because doesn't the dog It probably is quite nice toang on what's the dog in the main? Dog in the main, B basy saying, you're spoiling someone else's fun, even though it isn't fun for you So it's like, say you want say I wanted to go and see a play. Yeah You don't even want to see the plate, but you deliberately put the last two tickets just so I can't do it. You have to go on someone's date before end That's right. I've gone a date. And I wasn't even invited to the play. No. I was just to the first bit Um If Say you bought the tickets to the play and you didn't even want to see the play, but it was just so I couldn't go d I'd accuse you of being a dog in the manger. Right. And the idea is that the dog doesn't even like being in the manger, but it's just doing it So the horse can't eat the hay. You know what? I think the mjor does sound nice. I think my dog a dog I think a dog would love being in a manjor. I think my dog does do stuff like that. I'm convinced my dog does stuff. Yeah. Not because he wants to Yeah because he knows it will piss me off I'm not that welar Well, you've got you know, dogs and manangers left on the center. Yeah U Say Bucklys. Right. What we say do we like this fact? Do we like it U I'm not sure I'm a big fan. They're calling a part And I guess because of that It u it does it it passes muster I think Donz has letting her own goal Early on. We don't know what the next fact is I think this fact is one knel down already. I I'm not a big fan of this fact. I think it's I think it's I haven't learned anything from it. I think it's I think it's a fake fact. I think it's like a Like yeah, all right yeah, they sell a lot of sausages, but that's because they've they've maneuvered themselves into a position. Theyated the demand, but they do call it a partart That's stupid But I wonder if anything else what I'd like from this is to know are there any other things that you can buy in the canteen that are parts and have a number? Yeah. And also is there some or maybe which because in labeling it as a part, do they in some way get to maybe do they get to kind of write it out differently in the accounts? Like no, I mean Yeahah, there's that. let's have a little ad break. And then we're going to come back with the next fact. I'm going to be honest, Joe This next fact needs to be doghit if if sausage goes through. We've got form Yes So here we go U enjoy enjoy these ads Okay, welcome back. We now need to discuss our next submittit facts to see it's going to go up against Donza's sausage And, uh This fact comes from Greg Austin via Instagram Greg sayss chainsaws were originally invented in the late eighteenth century Chainsaws originally So the seventeen hundreds. to assist with difficult childbirths Asist. Imagine if you're having a difficult child birth. they were like, don't worry. we've helpels on the way. Yeah that noise. Unbelievable. to be fair, that wouldd be quite a funny thing And if I was to have u If I was to go again with a child I think I would plan some stuff. So if Claire's like if I' if we, you know, you checked them in, they're in the bed and stuff If I ran in with like a sort Jason hockey mask or something and a chainsw. Right, we ready? Let's get his baby out there. I think that would be quite funny Yeah, yeah it probably quite funny. I think Claire would get a kick out of that. Yeah So yeah, chainsaws were originally invented in the late eighteenth century. Now listen, I mean this is I mean G gonna need I feel like I've seen this before somewhere. Be Oh, this childbirth was really difficult But luckily it's now become easy. So this is the addition of this chain. So this was way before the invention of the combustion engine Um know it's not a chainsaw in the way that we're thinking of Oh that what's in my head, which is the thing that you pull and Yeah, it's not like a was it Makita? was it Makquita? Yeah Do they make chain tools? I'd assume so. Yeah they make power tools They're makinga It used to back in the day when I was ch when I was I don't know if it's changed now actually, to be fair. I'm not up with my power tool's knowledge, but it used to be the Walt The wal with the go to. the w drills and stuff like that. And then Mcita started sort of coming up going, Hey, listen we do fucking quality shit as well I wonder what he is now I don't know, I'll find out soon once this podcast goes goes under. I have to invest. would you be a chainsaw without engine Well, this is what I mean. So is it another No I was like, o, it's a chainsaw,' not' not is technically a chainsaw. It's not the thing that you to be fair, they did have steam engines. I mean, they did have in the seventeen hundreds. They did, ye. I think the first steam engine was like seven maybe even the first half of the eighteenth century Right? Wh wasn't it like, u Stevenson's rocket. It was a steam train And I'm pretty sure that was like seventeen ' twenty six or something. I mean earlier than earlier than one might think. So it's possible that they did have an engine, but I mean in terms of how on earth that would have I just think of chainsaw. Whenever I think of like automation and factories and and trains and stuff like that, I just think of the eighteen hundreds. But there must have been some Well le that Yeah there was something. yeah, I think the Yeah, the end the kind of real like big factor is and Bak industrialization, heavy industry, that's like the eighteen hundreds. But there was in terms of the inventions that powered it would have been in the seventeen hundreds and I don't really I'm guessing it will be something, you know if you took the pedals off and the chain off a bike Yes, okay And you just had that fuck, you know And you ran up to a pregnant woman. Holder still, holder down Come me in. surprised We'll get this baby out one way or another I suppose But will she survive? That doesn't matter. Don't worry about that. Honestly yeah O Well You do have things poor old women. is terrible. The amount of women that died giving birth God You do have things that are invented for totally separate purposes for which they end up those for which they end up being used. it's NASA,n' it? What was NASA supposed to be? Oh NASA invented Laders shit L back in the sixties Now during the Apollo missions and don't I don't can't think of any exam GPS for example That's military Yeahah, Ness a light at to invent a load of stuff to try and get us on the moon or whatever. And then Over a few decades, it becomes it doesn't cost millions of dollars to make that thing anymore and then it becomes part of our lives Yes. I think computers Yeah loads of military stuff. I mean also like the internet was military. was c called was it called like net or something there was some way of make comm like you've got a computer here. If only you get the stuff that's on the hard drive of this computer onto the hard drive of this computer Be that wouldd be useful for a military. You can see why that would be useful And that was called that it was called something Web ornet or something. Tim Berurnersee invented in Britain But then he didn't really We could have computers in Brim, but we don't We sort of fumble the Marketing of it. Yeah, we don't Yeah I think the internet was invented in Brin Yeah, but then there was also no harper net. That's it. No No Darperet. No. what? I can't remember. It doesn't matter. I' remember it doesn't matter O in a minute so chainsaw, this is going to be some loophole. What's interesting is that these two facts both they're sort of paired, aren't they? They're things there They're a product that we think we recognize, the sausage, the chainsaw Yeah. And yet it comes from an unusual source. Yeah, they're being disguised anything else. Oh Do you want anything from VW? Not really. What, you don't want a sausage? Oh I didn't know it was a sausage Do you want anything from the maternity ward? Not really What you don't want a chainsaw? Oh no, I didn't know it was a chainsaw. Yeah Oh this tree this tree's getting on my nerves. Yeah Why don't we pop to the hospital? What are you talking about? There's nothing there to help us. Oh, just chainsaw meate Oh just a chain. Oh yeah, I forgot a chain saw won't help to chop down a tree. So youre fucking numumpty. Lily Mate, there is there any research, Queen Lily Mate, Have you done anything to help us out here? Yeah, I've had a it a little look because this fact made me shudder. Is there drawing There's a picture. Yeah, I need to see of what it looks like and it's much smaller than you will imagine. ye. And it kind of has like a little windy to I. o. You would thought like you thought with the bice. It looks more like a whisk like that kind of thing That's what it on the end is ye. Exactly. And it it was sort of primarily used for kind of dealing with diseased and out of place bones. Okay. So that's I think that's where it comes into birth as well. So basically if your bone structure basically wasn't allowing for Your pelvic bones weren't allowing for space for the baby to come through that they would They just get rid of the pelvic. get rid of that. That bone, basically, which is obviously disgusting. But also it would be used for diseased bones. And there were two Scottish doctors who invented it John How much stuff invented by Scottish doctors? John Aikin and James Jeffrey It was their invention and it was used for quite some time, I think for basically a century and then medical enhancements came. and I think it became the twisted wire saw which is the is it the jiggly or the giggly saw? Right? It's now used which is the sort of wire And that is what's now used. R. Oh was what it basically What is it like kind of like that? It's like a wire Yeah, so it's just friction. Yeah, right It's just a wire being spun as fast as you can to sort of Its actually burn through Like a cheese like a cheese u string Is that what they call it? Well, look look Now when you cut cheese with a che cheese bil. yeah. Gheestring. No, that's that thing. G strring is made out there. Yeah ye. that's not so bad in childbirth. Yeah. If's not if you come into aternity w and youve got che. a Jay strring love. She will She will be saying she will be saying ignore, ignore again. It's a glass and a half b milk Both these facts are quite cheeky. in as much as a so really apart and that maybe isn't really a chang for in the way that we would think. However, I think that I don't like a kind of equality. Yeah. so yeah. so they're both as bad as each other is what you're saying. know what I don't like about these facts is that they're trying to trick me you don't like the deception. They Yeah they' they're gasighting us. Yeah, absolutely. They're gas lighting us. You don't want things you already know, do No, but I want things like I'll tell you something, if the punching octopus was up against any of these, the octopus would have gone through. I feel bad for octopus now the octopus got really hard for. Grouef for death. Yeah. It was a group. Whereas this Money is clearly Jan. This is Oh, that's funny that Ifantino's driving around in that nice new car This is Faroe Islands versus moould over or whatever. Don't slide off countries And we're only saying they're bad of football, I think that's right. That's fine. But a F fairwin has actually almost got in, didn't they They're always playing Scotland Always playing Scotland. Scotland is always playing the pharaoe Island I'd love to know how many times Scotland has played the Faroe Islands. I feel like Scotland is constantly It's always Scotland playing tonight, are they playing? Are they're against the Faraoe Islands Yeah. Always fucking playing the fair on. It's like the old fir Scotland in the Ferow Islands They have played each other eleven times in men's international football. What in the last year Yeah. And what have they've done since lunch U Right. Okay, what are we doing here? So we've got the the chainsaw fat and the sausage fat. I just I feel that u We gott pick one mike And I don't want to throw over to Lily May this time. we puteen put the we put our queen look in an awkward position. Thank you last week. We did. I didn't want to vote against the Ly, but That's what happened I'm sorry Oh yeah, another yeah,iv we get Joe's James's and Lily's That's that's who gets through. If it was a Lily May, almost certainly would have been. Lily May would have gone through. I think that Proably just because I think there is a little bit of distance between When I'm not because you said that last time anyate this can counts As me like sluering one of the factats, but I'm not slandering it. I'm just saying that To me, the chainsaw one is not quite a chainsaw in the way that we might think of a chainsaw. And I think because of that I can't believe I can't believe we're doing this I think we're going to go back to partart number, one, niney nine, et cetera and say I mayaybe you're going through. sort of because of vibes as well. I think this I think sausages I think sausag has come back to one I's come back to one. I think it's I think it's come back to one. He added haded it let a goal in in the first five minutes and it's gone on to personally Be a nightmare start becausecause I don't think I don't think it's a chainsaw I'm sure the golkeeper didn't expect the first thing he'd have to do would be picking the ball out of the back of his own net. Yeah But think I think the sausage, even though even though I was a bit down on the sausage fact when I first heard it, I'm more down on that on the chainsaw effect Yeah and just because the sausage has got a bit of comedy in there. I think I think in terms of vibes, the sausage is quite a good vibe I'd rather be present at the the sausage fat than at the chainsaw fact. Also because of that. somethingomething that'm that I've overlooked abute up to this point when I am very great Um, Hurry vers That's a good sausage. okay? cororrect? That's a really really it's not just your it's not a it's not just your pul it's not just the breakfast sausage. The curryversed If I can eat one of those right now, I'll be honest with you. Hell ye And it's interesting that you can only get a curry versse at VW. they're No you can get them other places. know what I mean is that if you work at VW, you can't get a regular verst. Yeah, you can't get a breakfast. Which makes me think that also the standard of the sausage is quite good and it's a big hit in the cafeteria. like you said Yeah There'll be other things to eat in that cafeteria, but they They're selling so many the handover fist and these sausages. Yeah. That's going to be the sausage for me, Joe Donzers, Donz' Donzer Thona's sausage has gone through to the final. Congratulations. You're on the ground final. I will say to Who's the other person? Greg? Greg Austin. I will say Greg Come back Do come back, come back, come give us another fact. Don't be disheartened. because you didn' You didn't cut the mustard This time. I't cut the part B. Yeah. this time Anyway, Joe Oh I am. Yeah. all facted out me too. My brains have been facted out U What have we learned? What have we learned? Jesus felt like ages ago that we started this Episode I've not learned anything. That's that's the That's the that's the honest answer. Okay I've not learned a gosh darn single thing, Joe Um, and, you know, we didn't We learned that stuff at the zoo. that was There we go, No we didt We didn't really learn We didn't really learn anything. Oh Did that turn out to be true or not? We don't know. We it We left it hanging. We decided that it was funny enough to be true. Yeah. it's true for us. So we've not learnnt anything. We lear road. Did I set up a road? lost fifteen grand I knew that before. That was my thing that I had turned up with
