1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720
I think maybe I should just look at upgrading my laptop to be honest.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,640
I need to upgrade myself.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,160
I don't think this is best suited for podage.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,800
It's fine, it's just me interacting with technology.

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,960
I'm the weak link in the chain here.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,240
Jesus Christ.

7
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:24,040
This is Lightly Used with Adam and Karen.

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Welcome to episode number 10.

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,240
Yes, number 10 of Lightly Used with me, Adam.

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,280
And I'm Karen.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,200
Only for today.

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
The big one and the other episode.

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,120
Oh, yeah, are we counting Internet Tales as an official episode

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,640
or is it like an interim extra?

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,320
Well, if we're calling this episode 10.

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,560
I guess it's an extra.

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Bonus content for all of you, turnip tales.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Hello. Welcome to Lightly Used.

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Hi.

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,080
We're a podcast loosely based around our favourite finds from charity shops.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,120
We are indeed.

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,400
And I do love a good rummage in a dusty box.

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaking of dusty bins.

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Oh, God, yeah, that awful thing you found.

25
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,000
We've both got some entries going forward on Taptrove's Tat of the Year.

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,280
Yeah, we have. Quite proud of ourselves, actually.

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Thank you, everyone who voted at Taptrove on Twitter.

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,400
We'll put a link in the blog.

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,240
LightlyUsed.co.uk.

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,720
So, yeah, my entry was, well, Taptrove dubbed it Dusty Bins Country Cuzz.

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,320
Yeah, well played.

32
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,040
It's like Stig's South African cousin or something.

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,560
Like, yeah, so Dusty Bins Country Cuzz.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,120
That's the official name there that's going forward into Tat of the Year.

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Thank you very much for your vote.

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,520
I'm looking forward to see how the competition rolls out.

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,360
What was your entry in Taptrove?

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:58,000
My entry into the Taptrove was that awful statue that Jackson found

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,600
that I really shouldn't say this.

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,760
And there's only one person I know that will listen to this and find it really funny.

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,560
But kind of looks how I would imagine my ex-mother-in-law without any clothes on.

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:18,920
I know that's not very politically correct, but that's what I thought when I saw it.

43
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,240
So I'm really sorry to that person who will never hear this episode.

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,520
But yeah, so there's a naked figurine against a very furry bin.

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,480
So we'll see what plays out between the two of us.

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,320
No comment at all on your item.

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,880
I think you've summed it up.

48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,240
I don't know who you're talking about.

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,360
I'll have to show you a photo.

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,920
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

51
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,160
Don't drag me into this.

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Don't make me a complice.

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't make you...

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,840
I'm an innocent bystander in all this.

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,320
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Ignorance is bliss.

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Yeah, fair enough.

58
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Relieve me out of it.

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,240
We've reposted some photos on the blog, lightlyused.co.uk.

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,920
And what an epic segue.

61
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,960
We're part of the Studio Channel 84 network.

62
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Let's drag them into this too.

63
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,640
We've done a variety show.

64
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:07,640
Ross and Simon at Socks.

65
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:08,640
The Untitled Trek show.

66
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,240
And yeah, Ross and Simon who do, who takes the socks off.

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,640
And we met up with all of them.

68
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:13,640
Sans Ross.

69
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,640
Yeah, we did Sans Ross, you lousy boy.

70
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,640
Last month now, would you hear this?

71
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:19,640
Maybe the month before.

72
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:21,040
It was the week before Halloween.

73
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840
The middle of October, we met up with them.

74
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240
So Christ knows how long it's going to be when this comes out.

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,840
Our recording schedule is terrible.

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,640
By the time you hear this, it was probably a month ago.

77
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,640
We met up with the Channel 84 crew for the Cheap Show Live at the Cheerful Earful podcast.

78
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Hello Paul, hello Eli, hello Ash, hello...

79
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Suze.

80
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Oh no!

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Ethan Lawrence.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Damn it!

83
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Ethan Lawrence.

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,640
I was going to say Ethan first.

85
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,640
But then Ash came out and went, oh no, my brain's gone in the wrong order!

86
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,640
Damn it.

87
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,640
There was a horrible pause there as well.

88
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,640
It was such a good show.

89
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640
We laughed so much.

90
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,640
And we met some amazing people who we've been connected to via the social media networks of the world.

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,640
Welcome to our parasocial pod squad.

92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Yes, officially the parasocial pod squad.

93
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Leighton J.

94
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Yep.

95
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Merton Cartman from A Pint of Cthulhu.

96
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Nicky Crafty-Cornfield.

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,640
The amazing Cliff from Under Consolation podcast as well.

98
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Who I have to say is an absolute gent and hilarious.

99
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640
We were all the naughty boys at the back of the bus.

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Yes, and I felt...

101
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Lovely crisps.

102
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Do you know, one of the best parts about that day for me was I felt like I was out with my harem of men.

103
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Because I was that only girl and I was surrounded by all of these amazing blokes who just make me absolutely wet myself with laughter on the regular.

104
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,640
It was just, it was pure delight for me.

105
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
I enjoyed every second of it.

106
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
And everyone who had a brownie enjoyed those too.

107
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,640
We'll certainly be listening to that A Pint of Cthulhu episode very shortly.

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Yes, we will.

109
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,640
I'm up to date now.

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640
No spoilers for me this time.

111
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,640
I'm going to have to be editing and rewinding bits in there and changing the pitch so people can't quite hear it easily.

112
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,640
No, fast forward in.

113
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640
No, I'll be a good boy this time, I promise.

114
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Awesome, awesome to meet you and links to all the social media handles.

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Once again, we'll be on the blog for this episode.

116
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,640
On the way there we did have a story as well.

117
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Well, you saw something very special.

118
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Oh my god!

119
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,640
I completely forgot about that.

120
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640
What caught your eye in the car park, Karen?

121
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Do you remember what service station it was?

122
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,640
It's probably best we don't mention.

123
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,640
They might lose some business.

124
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,640
It was the one before Membrie.

125
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640
I know that much.

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,640
So Adam and I parked up to do the things you normally do at a service station.

127
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,640
You empty your bladder, you fill your stomach.

128
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,640
And whilst we were stood outside just enjoying the fresh air,

129
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:50,640
a gentleman walked past us into the very sparsely populated treed area,

130
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,640
just off the grass, directly next to the car park.

131
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,640
And I didn't pay an awful lot of attention to him to begin with.

132
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,640
I was oblivious.

133
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,640
You were oblivious.

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640
You were in your own little world imagining your own things.

135
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,640
I don't know what they were.

136
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Tyrannosaurus rex is eating...

137
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,640
Monkey-crashing symbols again.

138
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Ah, yeah, sorry.

139
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640
So there we are having a nice little chat.

140
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,640
And I turn around and I shit you not, this guy...

141
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Nice choice of words.

142
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,640
No, no, nice choice of words.

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Sorry.

144
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:25,640
I shit you not, this guy dropped his trousers, arse out...

145
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Arse out, stood completely oblivious to anyone around him having a wee.

146
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640
And I was like...

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640
So shocked.

148
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,640
I turned around to Adam and went,

149
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,640
that man's got his arse out.

150
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,640
And I said it probably too loud because he sort of looked in my direction.

151
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
And I am naturally quite a noisy speaker.

152
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,640
I'm quite loud.

153
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,640
My volume is quite high.

154
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,640
And I was always called a foghorn as a child.

155
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,640
But I was like...

156
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,640
The audacity.

157
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Even now, rethinking about it, I'm still...

158
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,640
The literal bare-faced cheek.

159
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Yeah, I know.

160
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Literally.

161
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,640
Like I've never seen so much crack in the sunshine in my life.

162
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640
I mean, what little sun there was bouncing off his...

163
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Suns out, buns out.

164
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,640
I know, it was bouncing off his arse.

165
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
And he was there for so long.

166
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,640
I think he'd got to the point where he was like,

167
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,640
I can't walk past them because she's just noticed me with my arse out.

168
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,640
So he sort of loitered in the trees while we were loitered by the car.

169
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640
And neither of us really knew who to move first.

170
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,640
And I was just like,

171
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,640
why would you pull your trousers all the way down just for a wee?

172
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,640
I'm really hoping you couldn't make the 50 extra steps to the toilet.

173
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,640
That's the only acceptable excuse.

174
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,640
He was at a service station.

175
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,640
There were so many toilets in a service station.

176
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,640
He could have gone and used a cubicle, but no, he used the...

177
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,640
Dignity man.

178
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,640
He used the very sparsely populated area of trees

179
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,640
to get his entire lower half of his body out just to have a wee.

180
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,640
I'm so sorry.

181
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
I had to share this and I've totally forgotten about it.

182
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,640
And I'm so glad Adam's reminded me, but oh, Jesus.

183
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,640
How could I forget?

184
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,640
What a sight.

185
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Oh, that man.

186
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,640
I can't even remember which one of us walked away first now.

187
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,640
I think it might have been him.

188
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,640
I think he did literally did a walk of shame past us and then he head down.

189
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,640
I think by then it was, yeah, out of principle,

190
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640
we're going to stay here and really take our time having a cigarette.

191
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Yeah, so I can smoke this as clever as I can.

192
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,640
I'm so sorry.

193
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
That's totally broken me again.

194
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Well, outside the pub and after the show again,

195
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640
I was standing outside the pub, missed a bit of conversation leading up to this.

196
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,640
The only discernible bit I heard of the several conversations going on was

197
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,640
if boobs had corners.

198
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Excuse me.

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,640
What could the possible context be?

200
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640
If boobs had corners.

201
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,640
Someone really into Minecraft, maybe Lego.

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,640
I don't know.

203
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640
But I mean, if boobs did have corners,

204
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
it seems to take the fun out of it.

205
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640
Yeah, they wouldn't be anywhere near as fun to hold on to.

206
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Some origami pervert out there.

207
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
I bet there's some AI porn with square boobs.

208
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Suggestions on a postcard.

209
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640
What context if boobs had corners?

210
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Pod at likelyuse.co.uk.

211
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,640
I do have a correction.

212
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,640
My last last last last episode, seven, Tango Hall.

213
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
And I said the phone number was almost subliminally on the screen.

214
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,640
When I was researching to find the ads to put on the blog,

215
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,640
it was on there a lot longer.

216
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,640
There was also a variant where the ad said check packs for details.

217
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,640
So as you suggested, was it something from the packs?

218
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,640
It looks like it was.

219
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,640
You lied. You lied to all of our five listeners.

220
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Maybe three.

221
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Somebody might have paused and gone back.

222
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,640
I don't think Ross listens to us, so it's definitely three.

223
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,640
I can't say I blame him.

224
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Also, we also joked about wearing a vacuum pack for weight loss.

225
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,640
You were right.

226
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Sucking air out of your body won't make a difference.

227
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640
It's about 0.01 percent of your mass.

228
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Yay me, I did a thing.

229
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,640
I'm purely cosmetic.

230
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,640
Last thing. When we got home, I can't remember how we got onto it.

231
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,640
What's the difference between a snout and a trunk?

232
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Oh yeah, we were like, when does a snout become a trunk and vice versa?

233
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,640
Have you found out?

234
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,640
No, no, no. I didn't bother researching that.

235
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,640
That takes the fun out of it.

236
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,640
So yeah, answers on our soon to be developed Blue Sky profile,

237
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640
which I'll share links for at some point in the next seven days,

238
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,640
which hopefully you'll have seen by the time this comes out.

239
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Yeah, I didn't research it, but we came up with suggestions.

240
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Possibly it's due to length.

241
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Yeah.

242
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Or it could just be a packet.

243
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Moveability.

244
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Prehensileness.

245
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Yeah, that's a really good word.

246
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Yeah, that's what I mean.

247
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,640
How prehensile is it?

248
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Is it just a peck of doom thing? Who knows?

249
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Do anteaters have trunks or snouts?

250
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,640
I think that's a snout.

251
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,640
What about an aardvark?

252
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Oh, apologies.

253
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Ghosts.

254
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,640
The last aardvark just fell over.

255
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Oh my God, speaking of ghosts.

256
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Total random.

257
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Before we went to this, the weekend.

258
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Total, total random.

259
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,640
Thank you, Gremlin.

260
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Gravity.

261
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Ghost, gravity, whatever's living in my flat.

262
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640
So before we went, was it before we went to London?

263
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,640
Yeah, it was that weekend because I asked Jackson.

264
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Oh yeah, if you find it, will you put it somewhere?

265
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,640
He's been hired.

266
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,640
So Adam has got a lovely Clipper lighter.

267
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,640
It is bright orange with a blue and yellow band across the middle

268
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,640
and really nice black letters that says Dickhead.

269
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Now, Adam and I like to find a fun Clipper.

270
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,640
It's just something that we do.

271
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Or I don't know if Adam's developed the habit

272
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,640
because I buy him one every time I buy myself one.

273
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,640
You're a terrible influence.

274
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,640
I am a bad influence.

275
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,640
But anyway, the weekend, a couple of days before we went to London,

276
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,640
Adam lost this lighter in my flat and we looked for it.

277
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,640
We pulled the sofas apart.

278
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640
We moved stuff about.

279
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,640
I'd had it the night before.

280
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,640
I'd lit a cigarette with it, went to bed, came back the next morning.

281
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Couldn't find it.

282
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Obviously, I must have used it at some point and put it down.

283
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,640
But other than putting it down where I'd sat in the same place of recording now,

284
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640
it had disappeared into the ether.

285
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,640
As you said, we searched.

286
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
We pulled all the cushions off.

287
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,640
We stuck our hands down the sofa, pulling out all this various fluffs and crumbs.

288
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Concerted effort.

289
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,640
No money, unfortunately.

290
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,640
Lots of fluff and crumbs.

291
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,640
But yeah, we made a real concerted effort to find this lighter.

292
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,640
We just couldn't see it anywhere.

293
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,640
So Jackson was staying at the flat to look after Kiara for the weekend

294
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,640
because obviously he can't leave her on her own.

295
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,640
She's a princess and also she's an animal.

296
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,640
And it'd be like leaving a five-year-old alone in a flat and that would be illegal.

297
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,640
Kiara's an incredibly hairy cat.

298
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,640
Oh my God, she's so hairy.

299
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Yeah, if you do hear a snoring, I'm really sorry.

300
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,640
So we asked Jackson, can you keep an eye out for this lighter?

301
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640
If you see it, can you just put it on the side next to the sofa?

302
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,640
So Adam, can I have it back?

303
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Anyway, Jackson didn't find the lighter.

304
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,640
It's been a couple of weeks.

305
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,640
I'd completely forgotten about the lighter, hadn't even thought about it,

306
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,640
not seen it, not touched it, assumed the cat had hidden it somewhere.

307
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,640
And what happened today?

308
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,640
I was up at stupid o'clock this morning because I couldn't sleep

309
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640
and sat down in the lounge on the tray next to me.

310
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,640
Oh, there's the lighter.

311
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,640
I'll have to remember to thank Karen for finding it for me.

312
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640
And you did, and what happened then?

313
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,640
I didn't find it.

314
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,640
No, I genuinely, I don't care if people believe me or not,

315
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,640
this is a bit like Bifo and Sanja here in the big cat

316
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,640
when they went out to do the Halloween video.

317
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Check out the latest Didgy video.

318
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Yeah, check out the latest Didgy video.

319
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,640
It's actually really worth a good watch.

320
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,640
I genuinely did not find this lighter.

321
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,640
I haven't touched it.

322
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,640
I haven't seen it.

323
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640
I'd completely forgotten about it.

324
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640
And Adam's like, oh, cheers for finding this.

325
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,640
And I'm like, that wasn't me.

326
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:19,640
Out of nowhere, it reappeared on that tray of its own accord seemingly.

327
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640
Clearly it didn't.

328
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
I mean, either the cat put it there or a ghost did.

329
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640
And I know we've talked about this and joked about this before.

330
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,640
And I've said, I was convinced my flat was haunted for ages.

331
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,640
And you debunked it as the seagulls on the roof.

332
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,640
That's a big seagull.

333
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Yeah, very big seagulls.

334
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Also not a very thick roof.

335
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,640
And I totally go for that.

336
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
I explain all of the noises away to the seagulls,

337
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,640
especially like the running noises, because they run to take off

338
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,640
and they run when they land with their noisy twats.

339
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:55,640
But I do not know where this lighter was or where it came from

340
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640
or why it was even put back on the tray.

341
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,640
But thank you to whichever power that thought that that was a nice idea,

342
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,640
because it is genuinely appreciated.

343
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,640
I definitely do.

344
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,640
There'll be a lovely photo on the blog as well.

345
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,640
There will, yes.

346
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Your dickhead will be all over the internet.

347
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Phrasing.

348
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,640
Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that.

349
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,640
Can I do a shout out before we go on to our actual programmed sections?

350
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,640
I know this intro is super, super long.

351
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,640
I know it's looking way to raise money on the show for the last episode.

352
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,640
No, no.

353
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,640
OnlyFans apparently is the only way to make any money.

354
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,640
I need to give the wonderful Gareth Gwynn the shout out.

355
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,640
Oh, my old flatmate and celebrity.

356
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,640
That's for what?

357
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Now podcaster, comedian, writer, excellent man.

358
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Genius, yeah, yeah.

359
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,640
I need to say thank you to him, because we had a lovely conversation

360
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:57,640
in my Twitter DMs last week, because I'd put a post on Twitter

361
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,640
because I was shocked by a podcast that I've become quite fond of,

362
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,640
an American podcast.

363
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,640
They've got adverts.

364
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,640
They're a big podcast.

365
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,640
They do live shows.

366
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,640
I'm not going to say who they are.

367
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,640
No pod nod from you this week.

368
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,640
No pod nod from me.

369
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,640
They don't need one.

370
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,640
They've got enough fans.

371
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640
I'll give a pod nod to Gareth pod.

372
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Yeah.

373
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,640
What have they called themselves now?

374
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,640
I was going to say.

375
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,640
After Zenniel Day.

376
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,640
I'm so over it.

377
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,640
That's it.

378
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,640
I'm so over it.

379
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,640
Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

380
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Anyway, thank you, Gareth,

381
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,640
because I put this post up because I was shocked.

382
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,640
This podcast, they've recently changed how they do their adverts,

383
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,640
and they've started performing them during their podcast

384
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,640
as opposed to inserting them as ad breaks.

385
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,640
And normally with inserted ad breaks,

386
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,640
I can just find the fast forward button quick enough to just skip through them,

387
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,640
so I don't normally listen to ads.

388
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640
But because they were performing them, I didn't really register

389
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,640
because I was typing away at my desk writing an email.

390
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:58,640
But they were doing a gambling ad, and I was really taken aback.

391
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,640
I was really shocked.

392
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640
What are the odds?

393
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,640
No.

394
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,640
The odds of me being shocked or the odds of them doing a gambling ad.

395
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,640
I mean, they're being paid for it.

396
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,640
Good for them, whatever.

397
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,640
But I personally disagree with gambling adverts,

398
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,640
just like I disagree with alcohol adverts.

399
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,640
We ban cigarette advertising because it's all bad for your health.

400
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,640
Why can't we do the same?

401
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,640
You can't even have good livery in Formula One anymore.

402
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,640
No, I know.

403
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,640
God, honestly, no Marlbrookars these days.

404
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,640
But anyway, Gareth Gwynn saw this post,

405
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,640
and thank you for following me. I appreciate it.

406
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,640
And he sent me a lovely message asking if I, because they do adverts now,

407
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,640
if I'd ever noticed a gambling advert pop up in their episodes since they've changed.

408
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,640
And I said no.

409
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,640
And he said, thank you for highlighting this.

410
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,640
And he went to the people that organise the ads that get inserted into the episodes.

411
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,640
And you can request certain types of ads not to be played.

412
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,640
Oh, fair play.

413
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,640
So he's gone to them and said, we do not want any gambling ads inserted into our podcast.

414
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,640
Said who's a nice chap, didn't I?

415
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,640
Yeah, you did. Annie is. He's lovely.

416
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,640
So thank you, Gareth. And thank you...

417
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,640
Esselst.

418
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,640
Yeah, thank you, Esselst as well for continuing your amazing pod

419
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,640
and for being so conscientious.

420
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,640
I knew I got the name wrong.

421
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,640
I was hoping I could quickly check when you were talking.

422
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Then I come back for the name, but you put me on the spot.

423
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,640
What's it called?

424
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,640
I'm so not over it.

425
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,640
I knew I would get it wrong.

426
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,640
So not over it.

427
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,640
That's why I wanted to check.

428
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,640
I thought I'd have five seconds.

429
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,640
I can press a button and come back.

430
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,640
There we go. Sound professional.

431
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,640
Ah, no!

432
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,640
So...

433
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,640
Formerly the Zeniel Dome.

434
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,640
That's correct.

435
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,640
So that I'm so not over it podcast.

436
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,640
But yeah, great guys. Really funny pod.

437
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,640
They've done some amazing interviews recently that I've really enjoyed.

438
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,640
So thank you, Gareth.

439
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,640
Pod nod for the...

440
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,640
I was going to say pod nod for the week and I've just spoiled into that segment.

441
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,640
Pod nod for the episode.

442
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,640
Link once again in the blog.

443
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,640
That's a really long intro.

444
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,640
It's time again for lightly used news.

445
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Huzzah!

446
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,640
Abba Goveni Man's wild boar hunt ends badly.

447
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,640
From Tim Butters at the Abba Goveni Chronicle on Monday the 29th of April 2024.

448
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,640
A wild boar.

449
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,640
An Abba Goveni man has urged people not to go on any wild boar hunts in the Forest of Dean

450
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,640
after he and his two friends were nearly eaten by a crazed pig creature.

451
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,640
Semi-professional, long distance runner Johnny Turnip told the Chronicle that he

452
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,640
and a couple of mates had decided to go on an illegal hunting expedition in the forest

453
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,640
to get their heads straight.

454
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,640
After a couple of days had left them questioning reality.

455
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,640
Turnip explained,

456
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,640
Me, Big Tony and Puerto Rico Paul had a bit of a loose end after adventures in the Abba Goveni tunnels.

457
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,640
In hindsight we were probably overdue for some serious therapy.

458
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,640
But we've also had a head down brassied out mentality.

459
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,640
So Puerto Rico Paul went back to hawking his Simon Le Bon tribute actor

460
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,640
and the pubs and clubs of Bondmouthshire.

461
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,640
Big Tony went back there digging ditches

462
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,640
and I returned to the job centre to pretend I'd been actively seeking work instead of saving the world.

463
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,640
Except for a few blinding hangovers

464
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,640
and in Puerto Rico Paul's case the sudden onset of a personality disorder

465
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,640
the lads began to quietly settle into domicis...

466
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,640
Sorry, Tony put you off there.

467
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,640
The lads began to quietly settle back into domicistasy.

468
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,640
Dom-a-wha-tasy?

469
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,640
Domesticity.

470
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,640
Yet according to Turnip, early last week Big Tony announced to his friends

471
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,640
he had to get out of town in a hurry

472
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,640
under the fanciest spot of wild boar hunting in the Forest of Dean.

473
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,640
Turnip explained,

474
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,640
It was a Monday evening, all of a sudden Big Tony screeched to a halt outside my flat in his bed for Draskill.

475
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,640
Me and Puerto Rico Paul were in day two of our Game of Thrones marathon

476
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,640
so when the big man knocked on the door we pretended we weren't in.

477
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,640
Yet he was persistent

478
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,640
and had no choice but to carefully place my half-eaten pork rib in a pint of lard

479
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,640
that's let it marinate and open the door to my man cave.

480
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,640
Turnip explained that one look at the deathly pallor of his old mate

481
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,640
and he knew something was seriously wrong.

482
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,640
Big Tony just looked at me and said

483
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,640
I need to get out of town and lay low for a while JT. I've messed up.

484
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,640
Turnip added,

485
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,640
It takes a lot to outrattle Big Tony.

486
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,640
He sort of strides through life like a colossus

487
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,640
indifferent and unconcerned to the carnage he leaves in his wake.

488
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,640
So when he tells you he's messed up

489
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,640
you know it's wise to ask no questions.

490
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,640
I just bellowed at Puerto Rico Paul to pause the swords and sex action

491
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,640
and invited Torn-In.

492
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,640
Turnip revealed that after Big Tony had downed a four-pack

493
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,640
and eaten the best part of a whole crispy duck

494
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,640
he asked his friends to accompany him to the forest for a few days on a wild boar hunt.

495
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,640
Nice.

496
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,640
Turnip said,

497
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,640
At first Puerto Rico Paul moaned at tickets to the circus on the weekend

498
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,640
and he wasn't about to give up the thrills and spills of the big top to go and kill some pig.

499
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,640
However, I gave him a stern look and said,

500
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,640
Our friend needs this Paul. We need this.

501
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,640
This isn't the time for clowns and trapeze artists.

502
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,640
This is the time for men to be men.

503
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Let's go bond in the woods and kill some animals.

504
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Turnip added,

505
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,640
We were all soon shouting,

506
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,640
Hell yeah!

507
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,640
giving each other high fives and bear hugs.

508
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,640
But in all the excitement we forgot that Big Tony wanted to leave ASAP

509
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,640
and none of us had any camping gear, equipment or guns or beer.

510
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,640
Torn said,

511
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,640
Don't worry about that fellas.

512
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,640
My van's loaded up with necessary.

513
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,640
But trust me, we need to move fast.

514
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,640
The Welsh water's already on their way to the site.

515
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,640
Oh God!

516
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,640
Puerto Rico Paul then mused,

517
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,640
Hang on a minute.

518
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,640
I thought you were in the middle of a groundworks job at Brecon Road.

519
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,640
How come you've finished so early?

520
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,640
Ask no questions and receive no fists to your face.

521
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,640
Not to Big Tony.

522
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,640
As yes, shit us all out of the flat and into the rascal.

523
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,640
Turnip recalled,

524
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,640
The speeding down the road to make it to the forest before nightfall,

525
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,640
Puerto Rico Paul began rummaging through Big Tony's CD collection.

526
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,640
It was mostly ACDC but there was an awkward moment when he came across the greatest hits of ABBA.

527
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,640
Waved it accusingly in Tony's face.

528
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,640
I thought you were going to say Rick Astley or something.

529
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,640
Torn turned the thunderous shade of crimson but he kept his hands gripped on the wheel

530
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,640
and with his eyes on the road he softly said with an unmistakable edge,

531
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,640
It belongs to the ex-misses.

532
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,640
Paul wasn't having any of that but he began singing in a capped voice,

533
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,640
Jickety-ta, tell me what's wrong.

534
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,640
But before you can get any further,

535
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,640
Big Tony roared like a bear that's been prodded with a sharp stick.

536
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,640
I got Paul in a stranglehold and began to choke the life out of him.

537
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,640
I quickly grabbed the wheel and screamed,

538
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,640
For Christ's sake, will you two muppets behave?

539
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,640
Where do you think pigs not throttle one another?

540
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,640
Eventually, Big Tony released his grip on Puerto Rico Paul

541
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,640
and would go on a strange shade of blue and took the wheel back from me.

542
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,640
Knowing that a humble apology wasn't in either Big Tony or Puerto Rico Paul's toolkit,

543
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,640
I put ACDC's backing black on

544
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,640
and although they initially tried to fight the urge to rock out like a bad bitch,

545
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,640
by the time Brian Johnston was screeching,

546
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,640
Cut loose from the noose!

547
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,640
They had their arms...

548
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,640
Do it again!

549
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,640
They had their arms dripped round one another's shoulders

550
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,640
and were head-banging furiously.

551
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,640
You'll have to play it back when you listen.

552
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,640
Aww.

553
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Wounds had been healed without any words needed to be said.

554
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,640
It was our way and a good omen.

555
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,640
Or so I thought, until I saw the white deer that made a sphere off the road

556
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,640
and crashed spectacularly into the woods.

557
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,640
Fuuuck.

558
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,640
To be continued.

559
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,640
Nooooo!

560
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,640
Not on a new story arc!

561
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,640
It's time for...

562
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,640
Tatt in the box, tatt in the box,

563
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,640
tatt in the box, tatt in the box,

564
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,640
tatt in the box, tatt in the box, tatt in the box,

565
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,640
tatt in the box!

566
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,640
I think I missed a clap out there.

567
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,640
Sorry, I was giggling.

568
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,640
I made you do that because I'm going to interrupt you.

569
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,640
We're not doing Tatt in the Box just yet.

570
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,640
Are we not?

571
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,640
It's your birthday.

572
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,640
By the time you've heard this, you'll have...

573
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,640
I will have turned...

574
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,640
an age!

575
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,640
...four...

576
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,640
...these...

577
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,640
...four.

578
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,640
So the first one I will give you is the present you asked for.

579
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,640
Ooh, yay!

580
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,640
So you kind of know what you're getting here.

581
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,640
I've got my eyes closed because you're turning your laptop round.

582
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,640
Are they definitely closed?

583
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,640
They are. My hands are over my eyes and my eyes are closed.

584
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,640
Just as well because the screen switched off despite me wedging it open with a lighter.

585
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,640
Needed a bigger wedge.

586
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,640
That's what she said.

587
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,640
Happy birthday!

588
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,640
Oh my god!

589
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,640
I love it!

590
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,640
Ooh, I've never looked so sexy.

591
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,640
Oh, thank you, Spunk Rock.

592
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,640
Thank you.

593
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,640
You're very, very welcome.

594
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,640
Oh my god, I love it.

595
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,640
So because this is an audio format,

596
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:46,640
Adam has had a portrait of me commissioned by the wonderful artist Spunk Rock,

597
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,640
who actually was introduced to my knowledge by Cheap Show

598
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,640
because Paul Gannon really likes their work.

599
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,640
You can see why.

600
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,640
It's fantastic!

601
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,640
I love it.

602
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,640
So I took about a thousand photos of myself

603
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,640
with subtle sexy lighting in my nice purple underwear

604
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,640
and sent them to Adam and we sort of like

605
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,640
we'd all them down to like three to choose from.

606
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,640
And I let you choose which picture.

607
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,640
And it's in front of me and I genuinely love it.

608
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,640
I wish I looked actually like that because that's really sexy.

609
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,640
Spunk Rock is an amazingly talented artist.

610
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,640
I don't mind if you want to put this on the website in the part of the blog.

611
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,640
I don't mind because it's so cool.

612
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,640
And you get to see Karen's birthday present in the blog.

613
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,640
I love it.

614
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,640
Oh my god, thank you so much.

615
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,640
You're very welcome.

616
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,640
It's brilliant.

617
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,640
I'm blown away by that.

618
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,640
Thank you.

619
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,640
Many happy returns.

620
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,640
Oh my god, I love that so much.

621
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,640
Genuinely.

622
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,640
OK, so the rules are close your eyes, hands out.

623
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,640
Time to caress and guess.

624
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,640
Oh, I do love a good feel.

625
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,640
As long as it's not, you know,

626
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,640
I think something's going to freak me out.

627
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,640
I still get nerves.

628
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,640
And sit back, keep a little bit further away from the mic.

629
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,640
So I don't hit the mic.

630
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,640
Actually, you can open your eyes straight away.

631
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,640
Happy birthday.

632
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,640
Thank you.

633
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,640
It's a stripey bag.

634
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640
It's something you didn't ask for for your birthday.

635
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,640
Happy birthday, love Adam.

636
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,640
And three kisses.

637
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,640
You're so sweet.

638
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,640
Thank you.

639
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,640
What is it?

640
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,640
Oh, there's paper in here.

641
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,640
Do I look at the paper first?

642
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,640
Oh, that's the envelope you asked for.

643
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,640
Oh, that's the A4 envelope I asked for.

644
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,640
Thank you very much.

645
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640
Just an A4 envelope.

646
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,640
Look, this is in a Morrison's bag.

647
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,640
And the last thing you gave me in a Morrison's bag freaked me out.

648
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,640
Hopefully it won't be so bad this time.

649
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Are you sure?

650
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,640
Hopefully.

651
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,640
I've got nerves.

652
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,640
It's meant to be a special occasion.

653
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,640
OK.

654
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,640
Oh, it feels weird.

655
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,640
OK, right.

656
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,640
I'm going to take it out of the bag.

657
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,640
Sorry for the noise.

658
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,640
It looks pink through the Morrison's bag.

659
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,640
Let's have a look.

660
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,640
Oh, oh, is it a bag in a bag in a bag?

661
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,640
It's a bag in a bag.

662
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Oh, my God.

663
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,640
Oh, this is really cute.

664
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,640
It's comers.

665
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Oh, wow.

666
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,640
I like the side.

667
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,640
It's all laced up like a boot would be.

668
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,640
I know you like your Chuck Taylors.

669
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,640
Yeah, I love Chuck Taylors.

670
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,640
And it's got a fucking converse soul with an all star on the back of it.

671
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,640
It's red.

672
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,640
It's a little shoulder bag or a crossbody bag.

673
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,640
Oh, also inside there's another very, very gentle.

674
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,640
It's not alive, is it?

675
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,640
No, no, no, no.

676
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,640
I've noticed yesterday when I was a couple of days ago and putting it in there, there's a damaged area.

677
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,640
You might need to use a bit seam stressing skills.

678
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,640
OK.

679
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,640
I should do this for the microphone.

680
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,640
Oh, that's satisfying.

681
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,640
That's a nice quality zip.

682
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,640
Oh, no.

683
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,640
No way.

684
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,640
Did you have this all this time?

685
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,640
I went back a couple of weeks later.

686
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,640
It was still leather.

687
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,640
It's a sign.

688
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,640
That's where it went.

689
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,640
And I said it was gone as well.

690
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,640
I said nothing.

691
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Oh, my God.

692
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,640
I'm so sorry.

693
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,640
You're going to have to mess with these levels so much.

694
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Otherwise, I'm going to be bursting people's eardrums.

695
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,640
But people, it has returned.

696
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Featured.

697
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:21,640
The really sad duck, the sad looking duck from the YMCA in Schleslie.

698
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Oh, he shakes.

699
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,640
He wobbles.

700
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,640
I think it might have made a weird noise at some point.

701
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,640
I think it might have been one of those like cow tippy things.

702
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,640
Yeah.

703
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,640
Oh, it feels like that.

704
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,640
I think it might have made a quacky noise or something.

705
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,640
Oh, my God.

706
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,640
I love him.

707
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,640
Thank you.

708
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,640
It looks like a ginger Orville.

709
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Yeah, it is.

710
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
It's a really sad looking ginger Orville.

711
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,640
You might need to use a bit of stitching on the foot.

712
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Oh, yeah.

713
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,640
His little leg needs gluing back in.

714
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,640
Bless him.

715
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Oh, thank you so much.

716
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,640
You're welcome.

717
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,640
You're welcome.

718
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Happy birthday.

719
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,640
Thank you.

720
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640
And I love the bag as well.

721
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,640
Oh, my God.

722
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,640
You couldn't have done any better.

723
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,640
It's amazing.

724
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,640
I'm going to sit the little sad duck in the bed between me and him for the rest of the

725
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,640
evening.

726
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,640
I had to keep the price tag on there because it's got his name on it.

727
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,640
He's no sad looking duck.

728
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,640
He was two pounds for anybody who wants to know, but he is the sad looking duck.

729
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,640
No expense spared.

730
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,640
And I adore him.

731
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,640
We've already got photos of him on Twitter and on Instagram, but we'll do a refresher.

732
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,640
Refresh your memory.

733
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,640
Yeah.

734
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Oh, thank you so much.

735
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,640
Do you want the actual tat in the box?

736
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,640
Yeah, give me that actual tat in the box.

737
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,640
It's not going to be anywhere near as like dynamic as this, is it?

738
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,640
No.

739
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Oh, thank you.

740
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,640
You're very welcome.

741
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,640
Happy birthday.

742
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,640
Thank you.

743
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,640
In advance or in the past, depending on when you're listening.

744
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Past, present and future Karen.

745
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Future for us, past for you.

746
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,640
Yeah.

747
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Thank you so much.

748
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,640
Right.

749
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Get your shit out.

750
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,640
Eyes closed first.

751
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Eyes are closed.

752
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,640
Hands together.

753
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,640
So I've got somewhere to place the items.

754
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,640
Oh, like.

755
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,640
There you go.

756
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Open like a book.

757
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,640
Perfect size.

758
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,640
They are my hands are together and it opened like a book as if we were playing charades.

759
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,640
I nearly opened my eyes then.

760
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,640
Sorry.

761
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,640
I raised my eyebrows too far.

762
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Actually, this is also a present, but it is the actual tat.

763
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,640
It feels plasticky.

764
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,640
There's a sticker.

765
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,640
Careful.

766
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,640
If you move your hand, I'm guiding your fingers to the top.

767
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,640
It does come out of the sleeve.

768
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Aha.

769
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,640
So you want to turn it up, play down into it.

770
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,640
It's a plastic sleeve for those of you who are listening.

771
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640
It's like got that like crimped edge that plastic gets.

772
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,640
I'm assuming it's clear.

773
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,640
My eyes are still closed.

774
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,640
The contents feels papery.

775
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,640
We're still going to be finding out with Karen can tell colours of objects using her hands.

776
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,640
Is this an ordinate survey map?

777
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,640
No.

778
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,640
OK.

779
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,640
That was my first initial guess.

780
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,640
I've removed the paper object from the plastic sleeve.

781
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Actually, the answer is on the cover.

782
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,640
I'll leave that on display for you.

783
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,640
It feels like all that is that the cover or is that I can't say is that part of it that's come away.

784
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,640
These are individual items inside the sleeve.

785
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Oh, oh, are they first day covers?

786
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,640
Are they stamps?

787
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,640
Yes.

788
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,640
Yes.

789
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Cool.

790
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,640
Monaco first day covers 1966 to 1998, two pounds the lot.

791
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
I got these from Tom's dad's shop.

792
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,640
No way.

793
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Thank you, Tom and Tom's parents.

794
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,640
By the way, Tom, you still know how you still haven't told me how to send your mum 35 pounds for the item that I want.

795
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,640
So please sort that out.

796
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,640
Thank you.

797
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,640
I've got the address for the shop so we can put it in the envelope.

798
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,640
I was going to say I don't think they'll accept a check.

799
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Postal orders. What does it call when the bank gives it to you?

800
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,640
Bankers draft.

801
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Yeah, bankers draft.

802
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,640
Yeah, from Tom's family antique shop when we were in Singin' Down albums two weeks ago.

803
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:53,640
Now, Tom of Channel 84 fame, of which we are a member of the Studio Channel 84 network.

804
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,640
We are indeed.

805
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,640
We love you, gentlemen.

806
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,640
I was going to say these normally have like a bit of information on the inside, but these don't.

807
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,640
These are so cool.

808
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,640
Oh, honourable mention.

809
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,640
Sorry, I was trying to read my own writing for a second.

810
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,640
That's all right. I figured that's what you were doing.

811
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
It's something that I meant to feature on the show a few weeks ago.

812
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:17,640
Oh, right.

813
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,640
I didn't have time to.

814
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,640
OK. I thought that said Gary Baldy then, but it says Grimaldi.

815
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640
Half man, half biscuit.

816
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Francois Grimaldi dit Milizia.

817
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,640
My niece's birthday came, went before I could use it on the show.

818
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,640
So honourable mention.

819
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Oh, yeah, you told me about that.

820
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,640
To the tiny Henry Hoover I meant to use.

821
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,640
Photos will be on the blog once again.

822
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,640
Yeah, we love a Henry.

823
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,640
These are awesome.

824
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,640
I remember you mentioned that you like stamps.

825
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Yeah, I was a bit of a sad child and I collected stamps.

826
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,640
I can't remember what the word for a stamp collector is.

827
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,640
Philatelist?

828
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Something like that.

829
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:59,640
And I had loads and I was part of a pen pal club and had asterisk limited edition stamps and things.

830
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,640
I don't know where they are now.

831
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,640
They're definitely not here.

832
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,640
But yeah, I had loads of stamps for years and years and years.

833
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,640
And these are so cool.

834
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,640
And the Principality of Monaco is a pretty cool place.

835
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,640
It really is.

836
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,640
There is a Grand Prix one in here as well.

837
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,640
They're awesome.

838
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:22,640
All the small envelopes with the official stamps on the premier jour de mission, which is a first day cover.

839
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,640
There's quite a few.

840
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,640
It was probably fifteen or something like that.

841
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,640
I haven't actually counted.

842
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,640
They're all different.

843
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,640
They've all got the Monaco stamp on to make them official first day covers.

844
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,640
And that's got the release date on.

845
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,640
The first one is dated the 1st of February 1966.

846
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,640
And there's a December 96.

847
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,640
That's the Monaco Grand Prix.

848
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,640
That's pretty cool.

849
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,640
They've got Formula One car there and some sort of rally car.

850
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Yeah, I'm not very good with cars.

851
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,640
I'm going to guess that's a Lancia.

852
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,640
We'll have a quick look.

853
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,640
Adam's going to do his thing.

854
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,640
Actually, I need my glasses on.

855
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:02,640
I might be a Ford Escort.

856
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,640
Oh my God, are you going blind?

857
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Yes, I've got glaucoma.

858
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,640
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that.

859
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,640
Yeah, that's a Ford Escort Cosworth.

860
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Is that second or third?

861
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Second.

862
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,640
There we go.

863
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,640
Yeah, these are amazing.

864
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Thank you so much.

865
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,640
These are a really cool little collection.

866
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,640
I'm going to treasure these.

867
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,640
I might frame them.

868
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,640
But having said that, there are already lots of frames in this flat that need to be placed on walls

869
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,640
as Jackson politely reminds me frequently.

870
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,640
So this is a project to be done, but they're awesome.

871
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Thank you so much.

872
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,640
You're welcome.

873
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,640
And thank you, Mr and Mrs James, for hanging onto these

874
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,640
and treasuring them in your shop.

875
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Excellent antique shop in St Albans.

876
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Oh my God, yeah, if you ever get a chance to go, please do.

877
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,640
I could literally spend hours there.

878
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640
I was really sad that we were only there for about 15 to 20 minutes.

879
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,640
But I did get to fuss a little white kitten and that was very cute.

880
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,640
James's of St Albans.

881
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,640
Yep.

882
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,640
And we've got some awesome items.

883
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,640
And I think they've had that shop for 70 or 90 years, something like that's what I'm saying.

884
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,640
Like his parents are like the second or third generation to run it.

885
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,640
Right, my turn.

886
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,640
Oh, God, yeah, you've got to feel my shit as well.

887
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,640
Freezing.

888
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,640
Yeah, right.

889
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,640
Got your eyes closed?

890
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Yeah, eyes closed, hands out.

891
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
You can actually open your eyes for a second.

892
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Disclaimer.

893
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:24,640
You will immediately know what type of item this is as soon as I put it in your hands.

894
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,640
So to say, oh, it's this doesn't score you a point.

895
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Doesn't cap the mustard.

896
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,640
Because anyone who's ever held one of these things would know what type of thing it is.

897
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:42,640
But it is what is included as part of the type of thing that it is that makes it special and why I've included it in my tap.

898
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,640
OK, OK, I'm trying not to be too smutty.

899
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,640
All right.

900
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Close your eyes.

901
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Hold your hands out.

902
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,640
They're perfect.

903
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Mine's gone to the toilet straight away.

904
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,640
I'm going to do this silently, otherwise that'll give it away as well.

905
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:55,640
Right.

906
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,640
That's so noisy.

907
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,640
And they are in your hand.

908
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Oh.

909
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,640
OK, right.

910
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,640
So it's a mug of some kind.

911
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,640
It is a mug.

912
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,640
Very thin.

913
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,640
Yeah.

914
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,640
It's definitely more of a tea mug than a coffee mug.

915
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,640
Yeah, I would agree with you there.

916
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,640
It's got a slightly fluted top.

917
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,640
Is it a Charles and Diana commemorative?

918
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,640
It is not.

919
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,640
I would never, ever.

920
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,640
I thought there's a particularly unflattering likeness.

921
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,640
That would be very funny.

922
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,640
If I found something that was really awful, then maybe just for a giggle.

923
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:31,640
Is this your license?

924
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,640
I mean, if you were to guess what was on this, I would be incredibly amazed.

925
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,640
But I'm not going to force you to.

926
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,640
So feel free to open your eyes and look whenever you like.

927
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Oh, that's not far from here.

928
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,640
It's really not.

929
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,640
It's now.

930
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Oh, I can't remember the name of the plant.

931
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,640
Inca?

932
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,640
Is that something?

933
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,640
It's a manufacturing space.

934
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,640
But it's to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Walker's Crisps Swansea plant.

935
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Yes, indeed.

936
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,640
On Forestfark, Carmarthen Road?

937
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Yeah, Carmarthen Road, the far end of it in Forestfark, yeah.

938
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,640
And yeah, I remember there used to be Smiths when I was a child.

939
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,640
It did. Stop giving away my facts.

940
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Ah!

941
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Is there one fact?

942
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,640
I live there.

943
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,640
Stop being a clever tosser.

944
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,640
I used to live in Gowddon.

945
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,640
I lived there for decades.

946
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Yeah, so not far from Tesco.

947
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,640
That's true. It's directly opposite Tesco.

948
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:30,640
So this is, as you have said, a commemorative mug for the 50th anniversary of the Swansea Walker's plant.

949
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,640
1948 to 1998.

950
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,640
One of the finest vintages.

951
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:43,640
And it was one pound from the Barnardo's Park Towie.

952
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,640
And these actually were a pair.

953
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,640
So I have another one.

954
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,640
So this is for you if you would like to add it to your collection of mugs.

955
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,640
Absolutely. This one features the orange...

956
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,640
Stop giving away my facts!

957
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,640
I should have been describing it.

958
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,640
So naughty!

959
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,640
So anyway, yes, shut up Adam.

960
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Thank you.

961
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,640
You're welcome.

962
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,640
I'll shut up now.

963
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,640
That's your one pound present because that's how much I care.

964
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,640
So the mug itself is a white bone china mug.

965
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,640
And it's featuring Chester the Cheetah from Cheetos.

966
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,640
Actually Cheetos did used to be produced in the UK, not just America.

967
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:26,640
And also the orange monster from Monster Munch, which apparently represents giant prawn and pickled onion flavours.

968
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,640
I was on two packs at some point.

969
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:34,640
Yeah, I don't... I mean, I guess that's true, but it doesn't mean anything to me.

970
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Side note, the monsters originally from the 1980s, they got a revamp in 1995.

971
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,640
And apparently there was a vanilla ice cream monster that was all melty with a cherry on its head.

972
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,640
But I do not remember it.

973
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,640
I remember the flavour. I don't remember the monster.

974
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,640
Yeah, so I did a bit of googling and this thing actually does exist.

975
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:01,640
There are people selling empty packets of things with that monster on eBay.

976
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,640
If you really want to go and buy some packaging from the 1990s, if you really want to.

977
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,640
You can capitalize on some merch with that on there.

978
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Yeah, maybe.

979
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:10,640
Remember this creak?

980
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,640
It's not my cup of tea. Ha ha ha.

981
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,640
We'll have to bring the flavour back.

982
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,640
So, speaking of flavours, what's your favourite flavour, Monster Munch?

983
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Roast beef. Pink monster.

984
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,640
My flavour of choice used to be pickled onion.

985
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,640
Used to be?

986
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:34,640
Used to be. But since I've turned into an old lady and things like pickled onion make me literally suck my gums off my teeth.

987
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,640
I've changed my mind and I really quite like the flaming hot ones. And I know that's controversial.

988
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,640
They've changed the flavour. They used to be a lot nicer.

989
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Yeah, they did. And in fairness, I've not eaten a packet in a really long time because Monster Munch aren't really my go-to for crisps.

990
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:56,640
So yeah, but flavours awesome. Beef versus flaming hot. I wonder what they taste like combined.

991
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,640
Oh, happy to find out.

992
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,640
Yeah, me too, actually.

993
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Taste test one day.

994
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,640
So a bit of history about the Swansea Walkers plant itself.

995
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:10,640
The plant opened in 1948 and it was originally Smith's Potato Crisps, as you've spoiled for everybody.

996
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Sorry, I know something from local knowledge.

997
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,640
I know, I know. I'm such a bitch. I'm sorry.

998
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:22,640
So opening the factory brought significant industry and employment opportunities to the area post-World War II,

999
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:29,640
which was obviously really important because Swansea did actually get the shit bombed out of it because it was a large dock here and it was quite important.

1000
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,640
The factory operated as a crisp and snack producer 58 years in total.

1001
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:45,640
Originally, packers would hand seal the bags of Smith's Potato Crisps with a paintbrush and glue until more modern manufacturing techniques were employed.

1002
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,640
And the crisps themselves, a packet of crisps originally, were two pennies a bag.

1003
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,640
Can you imagine paying two pence for a bag of crisps now?

1004
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,640
By the inflation.

1005
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:00,640
Do you remember when snaps were like 20p a bag? I used to love snaps. Tomato snaps.

1006
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,640
It's the new Freddo's index.

1007
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:09,640
Oh yeah, Freddo's really is like the marker of inflation. Fucking ridiculous. Oh dear.

1008
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:18,640
So Smith's were also a really well-paying employer compared to other places locally, even other manufacturers, which were literally across the other side of the road.

1009
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,640
And staff members as young as 17 were earning up to £6 a week.

1010
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:37,640
So I went onto the National Archives currency converter and they say £6 in 1989 is worth £16.52 in today's money, which back then would apparently have bought you one stone of wool.

1011
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,640
That's a heavy sheep.

1012
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:47,640
Yeah, I mean there were some strange sort of like you could have got this for this, but the only thing you could have got 100% of was the stone of wool.

1013
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,640
I think you could have bought like one leg of a horse, but there were a few random like comparators on there.

1014
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,640
Good luck making the jumper out of that.

1015
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:06,640
Yeah. So the 1980s sees the walkers take over, which brings Smith's into the giant that everyone knows as PepsiCo, who own pretty much everything these days.

1016
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,640
At its peak, the factory produced around 230 tonnes of snacks.

1017
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:20,640
Did I say per week before I started the 230 per week, 230 tonnes approximately anything from Monster Munch to Mr.

1018
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:27,640
Eli Silverman's favourite thing on the planet that he can no longer get hold of cheese moment.

1019
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:33,640
I wonder if cheese moments production ceased in coercion.

1020
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,640
No. What's the word? Coincidentally?

1021
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:47,640
No, like at the same time as the factory in Swansea being shut down, maybe Swansea was the only place they produced the cheese moments and they didn't take that manufacturing process to any of their other UK sites.

1022
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,640
It coincided with the shutting down.

1023
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,640
Yeah, that's the word coincided. Thank you.

1024
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,640
I did say coincidentally.

1025
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,640
Yeah, you were way closer than I was. I'm talking a perimenopausal brain, I think.

1026
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:02,640
Anyway, so yeah, potentially Swansea is the reason you can no longer get cheese moments.

1027
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:08,640
I cannot confirm or deny that, but it seems to be, as Adam pointed out, coincidental.

1028
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Gary Lineker, the wonderful footballer and man with superior ears, visited the Walker's plant during the height of his advertising career for crisps.

1029
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:23,640
And on Friday, the 3rd of March 2006, crisp production ceased abruptly.

1030
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:28,640
Basically, nobody, none of the staff knew. It was just like, yeah, we shut the factory. That's it. It's off.

1031
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,640
Everything's done.

1032
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:40,640
So more than 250 people lost their jobs and only 18 of the people who were employed at Swansea opted to be transferred to one of the other UK Walker sites.

1033
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,640
Everyone else was basically made redundant.

1034
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:52,640
The plan was Walker's hoped to sell the factory, which was a grade two listed building for around £2 million.

1035
00:44:52,640 --> 00:45:00,640
And staff were informed in letters that the cost of maintaining the plant was impossible and therefore closure was unavoidable.

1036
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:11,640
And there is a story online about the employees from Walker's in Swansea receiving a packet of crisps each from Walker's.

1037
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:17,640
And it was reported in places that it was like a thanks very much, see you later gift.

1038
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Well, fuck you very much.

1039
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Yeah, but it turned out that Walker's reported it was part of their new campaign for their fancy crisps.

1040
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:38,640
And every single Walker's employee in the UK had received a packet of those crisps and they felt it would be unfair to the workers from Swansea to not receive those.

1041
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,640
But in fairness, I don't think you could have made a right decision.

1042
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,640
Yeah, it is a damned if you do damned if you don't.

1043
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:51,640
Regardless of whether it was like a fuck you or a we've included you in spite of the fact that we've sacked you.

1044
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,640
There was no right choice.

1045
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,640
It would have been hilarious if it was the coincided with the promotion where they somehow all got the winning packets.

1046
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Yeah, can you imagine if they all had like a million quid.

1047
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:10,640
So that is the history of the Swansea Smith's potato crisps slash Walker's plant and the two mugs that I found in Barnardo's that I just could not resist.

1048
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,640
So what were the characters in your mug?

1049
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,640
Exactly the same.

1050
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,640
Cheers.

1051
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,640
Chin chin.

1052
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,640
Yeah. So yeah, there's my tat.

1053
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,640
And you know what wasn't far away from this factory?

1054
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,640
The Dragon Factory on Forest Park.

1055
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,640
That's the one we went to go and be nosy at.

1056
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,640
I've got to put this mug to the test as well.

1057
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,640
Absolutely.

1058
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Oh, you think darkness is your eye?

1059
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,640
You merely adept the dark.

1060
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,640
I was born in it.

1061
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,640
Molded by it.

1062
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,640
When I first saw the lighthouse, I was already a man.

1063
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,640
But then nothing to me but blackness.

1064
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:45,640
Very nice.

1065
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,640
That's Purses the Bane test. Very well Batman.

1066
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,640
That's fine bone china for you.

1067
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,640
Put the kettle on love.

1068
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,640
Two shoulders please darling.

1069
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:11,640
And we are back with our final two challenges of the industrial zone of the Crystal Maze.

1070
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,640
Well said.

1071
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,640
Thank you.

1072
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,640
It didn't take three goes at all.

1073
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,640
Jackson, it is your turn to pick a challenge.

1074
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,640
Oh, fantastic.

1075
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:26,640
And if you just take out takes and here comes your action to the physical, I'm going to pick mental.

1076
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,640
No, you can't do that.

1077
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:29,640
That's cheating.

1078
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,640
Physical then please.

1079
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,640
I would love a physical challenge.

1080
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,640
Would you now?

1081
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,640
Yeah.

1082
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,640
Just to even things up between you and Adam.

1083
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:38,640
Exactly.

1084
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:39,640
Okay.

1085
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,640
The industrial zone physical game.

1086
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,640
Strike the cup three times to win the crystal.

1087
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,640
What you will need.

1088
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:55,640
The plastic cup, three plastic balls, a master's maze hand, the timer and a crystal.

1089
00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:02,640
The player should kneel or crouch on the floor in a room with a fairly smooth and flat surface carpet is fine.

1090
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:11,640
Mark a start line on the floor in front of the player and place a cup upside down, roughly one and a half meters away from the start.

1091
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:16,640
Place the three balls and the maze master's hand in front of the player.

1092
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:22,640
We suggest putting something behind the cup to stop the balls rolling away and getting lost.

1093
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,640
What's the maze master's hand?

1094
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,640
It's one of these spanky hands.

1095
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,640
Spanky hands.

1096
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,640
I need to take photos.

1097
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:36,640
They have a sucker on one side.

1098
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,640
Oh, that's the Richard I already games.

1099
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:40,640
Master hand thing.

1100
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,640
Oh, is it?

1101
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,640
It must be an I already Jen.

1102
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,640
One and a half meters.

1103
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Yes.

1104
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,640
So, there.

1105
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,640
Yeah.

1106
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,640
To where?

1107
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,640
The cups right behind.

1108
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,640
The settle.

1109
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,640
Yeah.

1110
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:00,640
Yeah.

1111
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Now you have two minutes to hit the cup three times.

1112
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:04,640
With me balls.

1113
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:05,640
With your balls.

1114
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,640
Once you have hit all three balls, you must retrieve all three balls.

1115
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,640
I want to go a whole meter and a half.

1116
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,640
Nobody can assist you with the collection of your balls.

1117
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,640
That's a four and a half meter further than I had to go.

1118
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:18,640
I know.

1119
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,640
I didn't have the games master's hand help.

1120
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:21,640
It's not about the size.

1121
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:22,640
It is against the clock.

1122
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,640
Are you ready Mr Jackson?

1123
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:24,640
Yes.

1124
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,640
Three, two, one, go.

1125
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,640
Oh my god, these don't.

1126
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,640
You missed.

1127
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:32,640
I did.

1128
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:33,640
That wasn't a cup.

1129
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:34,640
You missed.

1130
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,640
That wasn't a cup.

1131
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,640
You missed.

1132
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Where's the other one gone?

1133
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:38,640
I don't know.

1134
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,640
I think it went over to you.

1135
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,640
I'm down to two.

1136
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,640
Okay.

1137
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:46,640
Keep hitting them.

1138
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:47,640
Fail.

1139
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Oh, the cat spotted the ball.

1140
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,640
The cat's got them balls.

1141
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:50,640
Oh no.

1142
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:51,640
Yes, that's one.

1143
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,640
Oh no, the cat's going to interfere with gameplay.

1144
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,640
One ball got.

1145
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,640
No one's keeping tally except for me.

1146
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,640
That's one hit.

1147
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,640
One successful hit.

1148
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:02,640
Two successful hits.

1149
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Woo, I am a master.

1150
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:04,640
You've got loads of time left.

1151
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:05,640
Oh, good.

1152
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,640
Two successful hits.

1153
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,640
I am getting my own balls.

1154
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,640
I don't know if that third one has gone.

1155
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:15,640
It went.

1156
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,640
Oh, here it is.

1157
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,640
Oh, you found it.

1158
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,640
Yes.

1159
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:19,640
Third one's back in play.

1160
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,640
Third one's back out of play.

1161
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:23,640
Retrieving balls.

1162
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:24,640
Balls being retrieved.

1163
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,640
The cat is going to also get well involved.

1164
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,640
Yay.

1165
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:39,640
Number three hit with a good minute left on the timer.

1166
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,640
Well done, Jackson.

1167
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:41,640
I do sports.

1168
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:42,640
There we go.

1169
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:43,640
Yay, sports.

1170
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:44,640
Yay, sports.

1171
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,640
Brilliant.

1172
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:46,640
There we go.

1173
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,640
So I guess that leaves Adam with a...

1174
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,640
Oh, I am so sorry.

1175
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,640
I'm so used to these two failing.

1176
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,640
I was offended at that.

1177
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,640
I guess.

1178
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,640
I'm so used to these two failing miserably.

1179
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,640
It's so hard to get these little things.

1180
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:07,640
We've been divine.

1181
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,640
One little crystal ball.

1182
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:09,640
Thank you very much.

1183
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,640
Jackson is two, one, up.

1184
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,640
Nice little jazz fingers then.

1185
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,640
Lovely.

1186
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,640
Yes, that leaves me with a mental round to play.

1187
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:19,640
Seems only fair.

1188
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,640
Let's have a look.

1189
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:21,640
Lift the cat fits.

1190
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:22,640
Lift the cat fits.

1191
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:23,640
Oh, Jesus.

1192
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,640
I feel not looking forward to this.

1193
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,640
See how many words are on them pages.

1194
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:30,640
Zig-a-zig.

1195
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:31,640
Ah.

1196
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,640
Oh, this is a complicated round.

1197
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,640
This is a complicated round.

1198
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,640
Okay, industrial zone mental game.

1199
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:43,640
Follow the clues to find the two remaining hazardous vials before locating the crystal.

1200
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,640
Warning, you must locate all the vials.

1201
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,640
What you need.

1202
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Industrial game mental base.

1203
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,640
Which shape is it?

1204
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,640
It's on the back of one of them.

1205
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:56,640
On the back of this one.

1206
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:57,640
No.

1207
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,640
No.

1208
00:51:58,640 --> 00:51:59,640
Oh, you got it?

1209
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:00,640
No.

1210
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:01,640
Oh.

1211
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:02,640
What's that one?

1212
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:03,640
On the back of that one.

1213
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,640
Weird.

1214
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,640
Nothing on the back of it, is it?

1215
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:08,640
Oh, hang on.

1216
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:09,640
Is it this thing?

1217
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,640
It's this thing.

1218
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:11,640
Oh, right.

1219
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:12,640
Okay.

1220
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,640
Oh, it's some sort of cipher.

1221
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,640
Yes, like a codex thing.

1222
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:16,640
Right.

1223
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:17,640
Right.

1224
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:18,640
What you will need.

1225
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:19,640
The industrial mental game base.

1226
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,640
Eighteen industrial mental game vial cards.

1227
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,640
I think they're...

1228
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:26,640
Those things.

1229
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:27,640
Yes, well done.

1230
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:28,640
Yeah.

1231
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,640
A timer and a crystal.

1232
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:32,640
Preparation.

1233
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:33,640
Important note.

1234
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,640
This challenge takes a fair bit of time to set up.

1235
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,640
This would be an opportune moment for players to put the kettle on, get some snacks, talk

1236
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,640
about maze masters behind their backs.

1237
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,640
Please read these instructions very carefully.

1238
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,640
Choose a room in which to play this challenge.

1239
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:55,640
It should be a different room to the one in which you are playing the board game.

1240
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,640
Well, that's not going to happen.

1241
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:58,640
No.

1242
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:03,640
For this challenge, there is a set of 18 cards which depict vials of hazardous chemicals.

1243
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,640
You will only use three of these cards from the set.

1244
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:15,640
Each vial card displays a coded word which represents an object or area of a room.

1245
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:21,640
So it's important that the three cards chosen have these objects or locations in that room.

1246
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:26,640
For example, if the room does not have a television, then choose a different card instead.

1247
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:32,640
The maze master should look in the solutions section opposite and choose three appropriate

1248
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,640
cards from the list.

1249
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,640
For the purpose of explaining the rules, we will refer to the vials as card one, two and

1250
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,640
three.

1251
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,640
I'm happy to just flip a coin for the crystal.

1252
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,640
That's cheating.

1253
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,640
It's a bit half-hearted.

1254
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,640
So card one, for example, could be cushion.

1255
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,640
Card two could be stool.

1256
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,640
Card three could be TV.

1257
00:53:55,640 --> 00:54:01,640
Working backwards, look at card three, then place the crystal at the location written

1258
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,640
on this card, e.g. TV.

1259
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:09,640
Place card three in the location written on card two, e.g. stool.

1260
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,640
Place card two on the location written on card one, e.g. cushion.

1261
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,640
It's a treasure.

1262
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,640
Yeah, treasure.

1263
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,640
Give card one to the player.

1264
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,640
The vial cards cannot be completely hidden from view.

1265
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,640
These are even smaller than the last cards I had to bloody find.

1266
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,640
When this challenge has been set up, the player should enter the room.

1267
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,640
I'm honestly happy to flip a coin.

1268
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,640
Other players may watch from the doorway, but no conferring is allowed.

1269
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,640
Give you the game card so you can see the instructions.

1270
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,640
Hand the game base to the player.

1271
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,640
Start the timer.

1272
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,640
Place it in the central location in the room so they can easily be seen.

1273
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,640
Game.

1274
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,640
First of all, the player has to decipher the word written on card one.

1275
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,640
This will lead them to the location of card two.

1276
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,640
Once they've found card two, the word written on that will lead them to card three.

1277
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,640
Once they have the word written on card three, that will lead them to the location of the crystal.

1278
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,640
The player is only allowed to keep the crystal if they finish the challenge

1279
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,640
with all three vial cards and the crystal.

1280
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:08,640
They must not cut corners and merely look for the crystal without completing the whole challenge.

1281
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,640
The player does not successfully complete this.

1282
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,640
Then the mazemaster must remember to retrieve the crystal.

1283
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,640
I was going to cut corners by forfeiting this game.

1284
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,640
I assume I can show you the solutions, otherwise how would you work them out?

1285
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:22,640
Oh, they've got letters.

1286
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,640
I've got the codex written there.

1287
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,640
Can I have the thingy cards, please?

1288
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,640
I've shuffled them.

1289
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,640
Can you walk out of the room?

1290
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,640
Yes.

1291
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:41,640
OK, so we've got chair, picture, shelf, clock, light, door, corner, window, plug, table, curtain, remote, sofa,

1292
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,640
bars, speaker, cushion, mirror and plant.

1293
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,640
All right, hang on, this is going to take a minute.

1294
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,640
That is a plug.

1295
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,640
Should say on the other side.

1296
00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:05,640
I'm going to stay in the kitchen, there's pizza in there.

1297
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,640
OK.

1298
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,640
Nearly there.

1299
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,640
I can't believe they don't tell you what they need easily.

1300
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:13,640
I know, right?

1301
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:14,640
It's bonkers.

1302
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,640
You'll have to work it out first.

1303
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,640
There you go, you've got it.

1304
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:25,640
Oh, is it only three?

1305
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:26,640
Yeah.

1306
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:27,640
All right, OK.

1307
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,640
We're nearly there.

1308
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:29,640
We're nearly there.

1309
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:30,640
I can't even remember.

1310
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:31,640
Right, I need a crystal.

1311
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:39,640
I'll try and put these on an easy accessible side of the room so it doesn't have to mess

1312
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:40,640
it up.

1313
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:41,640
OK.

1314
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:48,640
Hang on.

1315
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:56,640
So I need to keep that one.

1316
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:01,640
Can you have that?

1317
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,640
I can, yes.

1318
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Close your eyes.

1319
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:08,640
OK.

1320
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,640
You ready?

1321
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,640
Yes, you can.

1322
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,640
Come back in.

1323
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:21,640
Put my glasses on, although it didn't help me last time.

1324
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:22,640
It didn't.

1325
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,640
I have tried to place these things in accessible areas for you, OK?

1326
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:27,640
All right.

1327
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:28,640
I need the codex.

1328
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,640
You do need the codex.

1329
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,640
So this is the first clue.

1330
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,640
You have two minutes to solve.

1331
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,640
Do I have to read the back of this?

1332
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,640
Oh, you read the back of that card if you want, yeah.

1333
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,640
I'll explain exactly what we've done.

1334
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:46,640
If all of the clues define the two hazardous remaining vials, you must claim all the vials,

1335
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:47,640
but I'd laugh.

1336
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:48,640
OK, ready?

1337
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,640
Yes, that's the right way around.

1338
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,640
OK, two minutes start now.

1339
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,640
This way, Anna.

1340
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,640
No idea.

1341
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:08,640
It was really hard for me to figure out what they were, and it actually just says.

1342
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:09,640
Oh, really?

1343
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:10,640
Yeah.

1344
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:11,640
Oh, great.

1345
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,640
Are you sure it's that way, App?

1346
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:15,640
Show me.

1347
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,640
I can't see your hand is in the way.

1348
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:19,640
Hang on.

1349
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,640
Why don't you try putting it in the gate?

1350
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,640
Plug.

1351
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,640
So Adam thinks plug is the first answer.

1352
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,640
So now he's looking at all the plugs.

1353
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:30,640
Yeah.

1354
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,640
There we go.

1355
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,640
Aha.

1356
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:37,640
He has located clue number two on top of the plug socket.

1357
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:45,640
Now he is trying to work out clue number two in the possibly darkest corner of the room.

1358
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,640
Oh, I'm not going to get on these.

1359
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:54,640
Well done for keeping an eye on the timer.

1360
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,640
He's thinking hard.

1361
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,640
What the fuck is that?

1362
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,640
He's thinking very hard.

1363
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,640
I can hear it.

1364
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,640
I think I can't do this.

1365
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:11,640
About 40 seconds.

1366
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:20,640
No, I'm not finding the words on the other card quick enough.

1367
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,640
There's only one of them.

1368
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:24,640
The one that Jackson said.

1369
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,640
It is the one that Jackson is sat on.

1370
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,640
He's got the second clue.

1371
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:38,640
He's got about 25 seconds to the third clue and find the crystal.

1372
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,640
About 15 seconds.

1373
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,640
He's heading in the right direction.

1374
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,640
The third clue is door.

1375
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,640
Five, four, three, look out.

1376
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,640
Two, one, zero.

1377
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,640
No, that's tin foil.

1378
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,640
Why is it tin foil on the floor?

1379
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,640
Because I own a cat.

1380
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:04,640
I didn't even see that was there.

1381
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,640
They're not going to put fake looking crystals around the crystal dome.

1382
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,640
That's a crystal.

1383
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,640
That's not something that might look a bit like a crystal.

1384
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,640
Someone with shit eyesight.

1385
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:14,640
I'm sorry.

1386
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:20,640
I didn't even register it was there until you touched it.

1387
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:21,640
I still can't see it.

1388
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,640
It's on the far side of the door.

1389
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:25,640
Oh well.

1390
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,640
No crystal around.

1391
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,640
That was a bit of a let down.

1392
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,640
It might feel like we're going to be having a very short visit to the dome.

1393
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,640
Yes, I think it might be.

1394
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:43,640
After two zones, Jackson has won two crystals, which equals 10 seconds in the crystal dome.

1395
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:47,640
Adam has won one crystal, which equals five seconds in the crystal dome.

1396
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,640
Oh dear.

1397
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,640
So it's going swimmingly.

1398
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:52,640
Marvellous.

1399
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:57,640
Dun dun dun dun dun.

1400
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,640
Dun dun.

1401
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,640
We're finally getting to it.

1402
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,640
The final section of the show.

1403
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:10,640
We have reached Bibliotat.

1404
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,640
Oh, I'm not doing a jingle next week.

1405
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,640
I challenge thee to a jingle, sir.

1406
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:17,640
Challenge not accepted.

1407
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,640
Damn it. Should have got my gauntlets.

1408
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:20,640
It's my turn this week.

1409
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,640
It is?

1410
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,640
For this one, I'm going to ask you to close your eyes just for a second while I get it out of my tap box.

1411
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,640
Oh, get it out.

1412
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:28,640
Because, er.

1413
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,640
Get it out for the gills.

1414
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:31,640
I saw this.

1415
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:32,640
Open your eyes.

1416
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,640
Instantly thought, I've got to give this the digitiser.

1417
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:36,640
Oh my God.

1418
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:37,640
Amazing.

1419
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,640
Freemasons for dummies.

1420
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:40,640
I love you.

1421
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,640
You've been through the entire book and put loads of tabs in it.

1422
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,640
So organised.

1423
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:50,640
By Christopher Hodap, he's a 33rd degree mason, past master of two temples and a knight templar.

1424
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,640
Wow.

1425
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,640
50 pence in Swansea Cats and Kittens.

1426
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,640
Yeah, Swansea Cats and Kittens.

1427
01:01:58,640 --> 01:01:59,640
Get them out the right way round.

1428
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,640
Charity shop.

1429
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,640
Instantly thought, I've got to give this the digitiser.

1430
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,640
To be fair, Biffo and Sandy have probably moved on to many, many other topics.

1431
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,640
Other than tongue in cheek conspiracy theories.

1432
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,640
You can never get too much Freemason conspiracy.

1433
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,640
I'll message, see if this is interesting once I've finished going through it.

1434
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:16,640
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

1435
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:23,640
It's mostly focused on North American Freemasonry, so there's probably quite a few variations between other countries.

1436
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:28,640
The author's joked that it's not a secret society, because obviously so many people know about it,

1437
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,640
rather than it's a society with secrets.

1438
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:39,640
As the secrets that a mason may not discuss are the grips, the handshakes, passwords and signs, the gestures,

1439
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:44,640
and their modes of recognition, and some details of the Masonic degree ritual ceremonies.

1440
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,640
Oh.

1441
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,640
Hush, hush.

1442
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,640
I've no really wish to become a mason.

1443
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:53,640
Mostly because you've got to believe in a supreme being.

1444
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,640
Do they specify?

1445
01:02:55,640 --> 01:03:01,640
No, no, no. As long as you believe in a supreme being of some sort, they believe you've got a higher power in your life.

1446
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:06,640
Would the general power of the universe be enough?

1447
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:11,640
I don't know, you'd have to ask them. I don't know, flying spaghetti monster campsite either.

1448
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,640
I'm just wondering if it needs to be anthropomorphised.

1449
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:19,640
The author can't go into all the details about lodge meetings, but he does go into detail about what's in lodge rooms.

1450
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:25,640
Ooh, that's exciting. Find the correct tab. What's inside the lodge?

1451
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:30,640
The many details of the lodge room are based on interpretations and descriptions of the temple.

1452
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,640
Many variations exist throughout the world depending on differences in customs, rituals and rules,

1453
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,640
but in general lodge rooms are arranged this way.

1454
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,640
The modern masonic lodge is a rectangular room with seating around the perimeter.

1455
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,640
The ceremonies of the lodge take place in the centre of the room, so everyone has a good view.

1456
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,640
Lodge rooms are usually oriented east to west.

1457
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:52,640
Ancient temples were constructed this way to be aligned with the east to west path of the sun.

1458
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:59,640
Even if a masonic building actually faces north and south, when you walk into the lodge room, you're symbolically facing the east.

1459
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:00,640
Okay.

1460
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:07,640
The lodge has an altar where the Bible, in brackets, or other holy book, sacred to the lodge members, is opened.

1461
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,640
It's referred to as the volume of sacred law.

1462
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,640
In US lodges, the altar is in the centre of the room.

1463
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,640
In other parts of the world, the altar may be directly in front of the master's chair.

1464
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:26,640
Three candles or lights are placed in a triangular position next to or surrounding the altar to illuminate the volume of sacred law.

1465
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,640
Whoa.

1466
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,640
Offices have chairs in specific positions in the room.

1467
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,640
The master is in the east on a raised platform on three steps.

1468
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,640
The junior wardens in the west on a platform of two steps.

1469
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,640
And the junior wardens in the south on one step.

1470
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,640
The steps symbolise where they've come in the Olympics.

1471
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:45,640
No.

1472
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,640
They symbolise the progression of life.

1473
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,640
Youth, manhood and age.

1474
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,640
So who's in the north? Does the north not exist?

1475
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,640
In the east.

1476
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:56,640
No, nobody's in the north.

1477
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:57,640
Okay.

1478
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,640
East, west and south.

1479
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:07,640
There are two tall pillars with globes on the top, patterned after two bronze columns that were prominent architectural features of Solomon's temple.

1480
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:13,640
They're usually on either side of the senior warden or sometimes next to a doorway leading to the lodge.

1481
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,640
This one I think is specifically North American.

1482
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,640
The big letter G within the square and compass.

1483
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,640
Oh yeah.

1484
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,640
At least I mentioned the G is more of an American.

1485
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:23,640
G for God.

1486
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,640
It symbolises, represents both God and the science of geometry.

1487
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,640
Okay.

1488
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,640
It's the secret knowledge of the original stonemasons.

1489
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,640
Okay. Interesting.

1490
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:41,640
But that illuminated letter G suspended over the master's chair in the east or sometimes over the altar.

1491
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,640
There is a chapter as well about the symbols, Freemasonry and what they represent.

1492
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,640
I'll scan that one page for use in the blog.

1493
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,640
It would take far too long to go through all the meanings of several, several pages.

1494
01:05:53,640 --> 01:06:00,640
The more interesting part for me though is how much Freemasonry was lifted and tweaked for the order of the links in Lodge 49.

1495
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,640
Very, very short-lived TV series before getting cancelled.

1496
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,640
Still haven't watched it.

1497
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,640
I really, really wish it lasted more than two seasons.

1498
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,640
It's a really good show.

1499
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,640
But it says you're unlikely to be invited to be a Freemason.

1500
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:22,640
If you want to join, one of the oldest tenets of the fraternity is, a man must ask of his own free will and accord.

1501
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:29,640
Unlike Dud in Lodge 49, you're supposed to knock on the door of the lodge because you have a good opinion of the fraternity, not...

1502
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,640
What are you doing here?

1503
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,640
Qualifications for membership.

1504
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,640
Aha. Is rule one, you have to be rich?

1505
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:42,640
No. Specifically, it's meant to be people of good standing from all walks of life.

1506
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,640
I think there's one bit where they mentioned one of the presidents.

1507
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,640
It could be an FDR?

1508
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,640
Oh, damn it, I only briefly skimmed this book. I didn't think I'd have to bring it up.

1509
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:56,640
He was in a meeting, but he went to Masonic Lodge and his gardener was the grandmaster of the lodge.

1510
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:57,640
Wow, cool.

1511
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:02,640
So in there, his gardener had status above him, but then on the outside, I'm the president of the United States.

1512
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,640
That's pretty cool.

1513
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,640
I kind of think he felt a bit awkward calling for him to do stuff after that.

1514
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,640
Come and cut my grass!

1515
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,640
He said, no, no, it was good for both of us.

1516
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,640
You must believe in a supreme being.

1517
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,640
No atheist or irreligious libertine may become a Freemason,

1518
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,640
but your religious beliefs and affiliations are your own business.

1519
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,640
You must be joining of your own free will.

1520
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,640
You must be a man.

1521
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,640
Yawn.

1522
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,640
It's a male-only institution.

1523
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,640
You must be freeborn.

1524
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:33,640
What does that mean?

1525
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,640
It does not engage in racial discrimination.

1526
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:45,640
Quickly point that out. The term freeborn is hold over from the days when slavery, indentured servitude and bonding were common.

1527
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,640
It means that a man must be his own master and not bound to another man.

1528
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,640
Fucking hell.

1529
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:56,640
It's not a problem these days, but the language is retained because of its antiquity and the desire to retain the heritage of the fraternity.

1530
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:57,640
Okay.

1531
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,640
You must be of lawful age.

1532
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,640
Depending on the grand lodge, can be anywhere from 18 to 25.

1533
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,640
Specific United States bits, blah blah blah.

1534
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,640
You must be well recommended.

1535
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,640
At least two existing Freemasons from the lodge, your petitioning must recommend you.

1536
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,640
Masonry doesn't care about your worldly wealth or social position.

1537
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:15,640
Okay.

1538
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:19,640
Both the bank's president and the bank's janitor can apply for membership.

1539
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,640
They're both considered equally qualified.

1540
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,640
Towards the end of the book there is a chapter, so is it relevant?

1541
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:31,640
The author does acknowledge that people are less interested in joining or less time on their hands these days.

1542
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:38,640
The author does believe the organisation still does have something to offer in the world today that can benefit men personally, socially and professionally.

1543
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:43,640
The 21st century will undoubtedly bring changes, just as the 20th did.

1544
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:44,640
Masonry is always adapted.

1545
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:51,640
The lure of Freemasonry remains the mystery of the closed door, and men will always want to know what's on the other side.

1546
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:56,640
I am going to grow a moustache and pack and go and knock on the door.

1547
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,640
Oh, pack and wrap.

1548
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,640
I need to wrap specifically.

1549
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,640
And go and knock on the door and see if I can infiltrate the masses.

1550
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,640
So for a bunch of you and your mates to have their Monty Python style.

1551
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,640
Are you men? Yes?

1552
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,640
Yes, yes we are.

1553
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:19,640
I am a man. I swear it. I promise. I am a man.

1554
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,640
So yeah, not for either of us, I don't think. Freemasonry?

1555
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:28,640
No, but a fun book to read through. I enjoyed those facts. It was interesting. Maybe Biffo will take it off your hands.

1556
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,640
50p, Kets and Kittens charity shop in Swansea. 100%

1557
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,640
What honourable mention I will give.

1558
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:38,640
Oh yeah, you mentioned honourable mentions when we were texting the other day.

1559
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:43,640
Oh, it's a little badge. A tiny, tiny Technics little bottle cap badge.

1560
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:44,640
That is cool.

1561
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,640
I'll have to include that as well, take a photo of that.

1562
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,640
Yeah, photos on the blog site.

1563
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,640
Lightly used.co.uk

1564
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:52,640
Well timed.

1565
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,640
Oh, it's been a long one today.

1566
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,640
Mammoth session.

1567
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:03,640
Thank you very, very much for putting up with this and thank you for listening once again.

1568
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,640
And especially thank you for listening if you've listened this far.

1569
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:17,680
I've got to say thank you very much to Leighton J, Matt and Cartman from Pints of Cthulhu, Nicky Crafty Cornfield, The Amazing Cliff, Eli, Paul, and the

1570
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:26,680
Thank you very much.

1571
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:31,680
And thank you very, very much as well to Tom.

1572
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:36,680
Thank you to Rob. Thank you to Simon from the Studio Channel 84.

1573
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,680
It was awesome to meet you all.

1574
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,680
It really, really genuinely was.

1575
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,680
Did I remember everyone's names?

1576
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,680
I hope so. I think so.

1577
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:51,680
But yeah, I echo Adam's sentiments.

1578
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,680
The Cheap Show Live was fantastic.

1579
01:10:55,680 --> 01:11:00,680
And spending time with all the people that we got to spend time with over those couple of days was brilliant.

1580
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,680
And I cannot wait for the next live show where we all get to meet up again.

1581
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:11,680
Because yeah, it was just one of my favourite memories to date.

1582
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,680
I have got a bit of a confession to make.

1583
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,680
Oh no.

1584
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:20,680
We were all outside the pub. It was pretty much the entire crew of the USS Shit Show.

1585
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,680
It was minus Admiral Chester. She was being boring bitches sitting in doors.

1586
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,680
We were all standing outside having a pint and it stormed me.

1587
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,680
Oh, there's a lot of podcasters here.

1588
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,680
Yeah, it was a podcast festival, Adam, you idiot.

1589
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:33,680
It was a podcast festival.

1590
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:34,680
Absolute null.

1591
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:40,680
And we are podcasters. And do you know what? I've never felt so cool.

1592
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,680
I've genuinely never felt so cool.

1593
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,680
It was, yeah, I love my life.

1594
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaking of podcasts, we are part of the Studio Channel 84 network.

1595
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,680
Seamless segue.

1596
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,680
How many times have we plugged this one now?

1597

1599
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:09,680
Who Takes the Socks Off? The channel's excellent panel show.

1600
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:14,680
And there's a mini series Socks On or Off where guests get to spin the wheel of would you rathers.

Domesticity.

1611
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,680
Domest... Domesticity.

1612
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,680
Domesticity. OK.

1613
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,680
The lads began to quietly settle back in domesticity.

1614
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,680
Fuck!
