1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This is Lightly Used with Adam and Karen

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Do you know, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a ghost.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
I've been telling you this.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I know you have.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
And I don't know if it's that I want to believe ...in inverted commas.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Or being brought up on ghost stories from Dad.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
But anyway, me and Jackson went to a seance evening two weeks ago.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
As you know.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Jackson died.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
K: Me and Jackson....
A: Jackson and I

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Alright, grammar granny.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Jackson and Moi attended a seance evening at Routon's Museum of

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Haunted Things.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Was that the place you've been to before with the window of the Amityville Horror House?

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
That's correct.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Yes, that's the one that me and Lexi went to.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I couldn't persuade Lexi to come to a seance evening because she's a chicken.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
But Jackson was all up for it.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So we went and we had a really nice time.

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
And it was a lovely evening and it was me, Jackson, one other woman whose name was Karen.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Not confusing.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
No, not confusing.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Every time I go to Routon's there's weird synchronicities.

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
So there was me, another Karen, Anna Jackson and then Laura and Eric.

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
And we did a bit of talking and then we went upstairs, did some crystal gazing where we sat in a darkened room and looked at...

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Balls.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Yeah, balls of stone, crystal quartz.

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Then we had a little break, had a cup of tea, chatted a bit more.

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And then later on we did a Ouija board session.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Now, I know a lot of people have opinions on Ouija boards.

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Some people think they're really evil and they're like the gateway to the devil.

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
And at the far end of the scale it's just a board game.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It was only ever meant to be a board game but spirituality just went crazy in the Victorian time.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah, was it MB Games had the license for it?

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I don't know.

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Yeah, I can't remember.

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
No.

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Anyway, some company had a license for it.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah, some company had a license for it.

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
A mainstream company.

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
We were doing this Ouija board session and they had this thing called a spirit lamp.

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
And I don't know, I wasn't pushing the planchette.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Jackson wasn't pushing the planchette.

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I can't say for sure whether Eric or Laura, the hosts of the museum, were pushing the planchette.

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And I don't know if Karen was either, the other Karen, not me.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
But it was a really fun experience.

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
But nothing really happened.

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The lamp went off a couple of times.

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
But on the way home Jackson told me that he thought Eric had a button in his hand

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
and every time the light was going off Eric was pressing this button.

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And I was like, I didn't know that.

52
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
It's like they did it in Victorian times.

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Yeah, I mean to be fair they did say that it was a night where they were bringing back to life

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
some of the parapsychological techniques of yore.

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So they were upfront about how seances worked in the Victorian times.

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
But afterwards they could have gone,

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
well you see I had a really fine string attached to my ankle

58
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
and I was ringing this bell all the time when I tugged my foot.

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
They could have shown you how it was done after, after scaring the bejesus out of you all.

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
It wasn't scary.

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
I laughed through most of it.

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I thought it was hilarious, really good fun.

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And I would definitely go and do it again just for the entertainment value.

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
For the experience.

65
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Yeah, but I don't know.

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I've been to like big group medium sessions where there's like 300 people in an audience.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Big mediums?

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Average size mediums?

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Medium mediums.

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And now I've been to like a really intimate seance evening.

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
They're both fun experiences for different reasons.

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I don't know if there's such a thing as ghosts or if they just weren't there.

73
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I don't think they're real.

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I think people want to believe.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Answers on a postcard please.

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I'm pretty sure they've been debunked after all, everyone's got a camera on them now.

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
True.

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
But it's like people who go out looking for big cats.

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
When you see a big cat you don't automatically go,

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
oh hang on a second I'll get my phone out. You look at the big cat, you watch it walk off

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
and you think, ah fuck I should have taken a photo.

82
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
But then all the photos people have taken of supposedly big cats,

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
it's just larger than normal house cats.

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
It's a bit closer than you think it actually is.

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Yeah, it's the perspective.

86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Back to Father Ted again.

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Last episode.

88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
This cow is near.

89
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
It's going to be a recurring thing isn't it Father?

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Far away.

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Anyway, that's enough of that bollocks.

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Welcome to Lightly Used episode 16.

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
My name's Karen.

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
I'm Adam.

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And we're lovely, lovely weird people and we're happy to have your ears.

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
We're mostly spending our time having a mooch around charity shops.

97
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
We did today.

98
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
We did.

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
We found a couple of things.

100
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
For our spiritual mentors.

101
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Parents.

102
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
They don't know it but they are.

103
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Oh no they do know it.

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Paul and Eli of Cheap Show.

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
We've got a..., no, we're not going to say it! We've got two little presents.

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Yeah, they have a little gift each that we just happened to find.

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
They'll be in the post presently at some point.

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
I do have a follow up to my tat last episode.

109
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
One of the vans was branded Huntley and Palmer's.

110
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
They did hire an illustrator, Mick Hill, to design some ornate biscuit tins.

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
He hid some naughty illustrations.

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Did he?

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
In the tins.

114
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
I've put a link to the BBC interview with him on the episode 15 blog post.

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
lightlyused.co.uk.

116
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Click on the studio blogs drop down.

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
But yeah, there's about three tins where he hid some naughty things happening in the background.

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000
One was a Japanese motif designed to one of them and there was a guy with kanji script writing it.

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
He's got a guy who knows Japanese to translate it.

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
So he's on the biscuit tin, he's writing out 'sex and drugs and rock and roll'.

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
That's brilliant.

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000
A couple of dogs shagging in one, a couple of people at it in the bushes in the same one.

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Oh my god, we need to find these biscuits in.

124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Look on the episode 15 blog, there's a link to the BBC video.

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The guy seems a really decent chap.

126
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
He was a freelancer so when they found out they just didn't hire him again.

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
That's fair enough, he's still one.

128
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I think the news articles were that, oh he's a disgruntled employee,

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
he hid these in designs as an act of revenge.

130
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
No, no, I was just a freelancer.

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
These are the three I got away with, they just didn't hire me again

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
after it got out.

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Well done mate.

134
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Oh, I also forgot to mention last episode,

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
you mentioned watching Casablanca with your dad.

136
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
We watched Barbed Wire.

137
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
No, it's not Barbed Wire, it's Barb Wire.

138
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,000
It's retelling setting the post-apocalyptic future...of 2017.

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
How was it for you?

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
It was interesting.

141
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
There were nipples.

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
A couple of legitimate actors.

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Yes, weirdly legitimate actors.

144
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
And an awful lot of leather.

145
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I don't know what the dress code was in the future,

146
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
did a lot of clothes or not many clothes survive?

147
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Only the leather clothes survived the apocalypse.

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
It came from Mad Max.

149
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Some of the club goers, they're really well dressed,

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
some of the dancers and the staff, they're in very nice suits.

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
It's hard to gauge what's going on there.

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Maybe the ones in snappy suits, the ones that have got Chinese silk factories or something.

153
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
There was a very gratuitous amount of boobage and butterkits.

154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
So sexist.

155
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
What do you mean?

156
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
She got a dog to grab that guy by the nuts.

157
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
What was the dog called?

158
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Something really prim?

159
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
A: Camilla?

160
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
K: Was it Camilla?

161
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
K: Claude?

162
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
A: Camille?

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Anyway, doesn't matter.

164
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Very cute dog.

165
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I walked him out by his nuts.

166
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
That's a very, very well trained dog.

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
He was walking so daintily.

168
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
It was like dressage.

169
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Just dressage you out of the room, sir.

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Via the testiculars.

171
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
He has got to have been wearing a cup.

172
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
You'd hope so.

173
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
A very dedicated stuntman.

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I don't know if Barb Wire has been praised quite this way before.

175
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Possibly not.

176
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,000
We're absolutely certain Pamela Anderson never ever rode that motorbike.

177
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
No, you only ever saw her in still shots.

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Like when she was getting onto it or it had just pulled up and she had put her feet on the floor

179
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
and she was taking her helmet off and whisking her head round in a timid fashion.

180
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Otherwise, whenever you saw the person on the bike or the bike being ridden - 

181
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
helmet like stig, blacked out helmet.

182
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Cannot see who's inside.

183
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
It could be a lithe stuntman with a wig.

184
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I reckon it probably was a guy.

185
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
A couple of times. They nearly wiped out.

186
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Yeah, they did a lot of fishtailing.

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Yeah, we don't think they were experienced bike riders.

188
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I've never ridden a motorbike.

189
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Even I could spot.

190
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
This seems unsafe.

191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
You're just driving in apparently a straight line.

192
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
The front wheel was in a straight line.

193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
You're not going to do another take where it looks alright instead of...

194
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Whoa, there we go.

195
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Cut, print. There we go.

196
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
We haven't got the budget to do this again.

197
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Like that explosion.

198
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
What was the explosion bit where I was like, oh, that was the one and done.

199
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
There's no way we could have set that back up again.

200
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Yeah, we'd recommend it, surprisingly.

201
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It's probably on YouTube somewhere.

202
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
It's a happy ending.

203
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Phrasing?

204
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Sorry.

205
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Oh, Arthur, 'call me Art' has been in touch.

206
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
He's been catching up on the shows.

207
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
He says, sorry, he missed your birthday in November.

208
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
That's how busy he's been.

209
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Bless him.

210
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
He's been working on an NFT.

211
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Apparently it was TOO fungible...

212
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
I don't know what that means.

213
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
He's also been working on a cryptocurrency as a backup.

214
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
He couldn't get the NFT going.

215
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
It was also a birthday present, he told me.

216
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
It's called the Karencoin.

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Oh, Lord.

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
I said we just didn't want to get involved in any plans if the explanation includes the words 'block chain'.

219
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Also, it's 2025.

220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Missed the boat for cryptocurrency and NFTs completely.

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Let's not do that, yeah?

222
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
No, I'll put the kibosh on that.

223
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
He did also say if he went to the gambling sponsor, he knows a guy,

224
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
which I think he just wanted his bookie to advertise on the show.

225
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Right, well, we all know how I feel about gambling.

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I explained that to him.

227
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
I told him if he's going to get a sponsor, it's going to be relevant to the show.

228
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
At the very bloody least.

229
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
He said, leave it with me.

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
I will get back to you.

231
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
He's very enthusiastic.

232
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
He's determined to get a sponsor this year.

233
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
OK.

234
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
He said, yeah, he's a bit too excited.

235
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I think I'm a bit worried.

236
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,000
If the adverts can be subliminally placed into the episodes rather than interrupting them.

237
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I still don't know what he does for Channel 84.

238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Do you think we should ask Tom and Rob?

239
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
He's got a room.

240
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I don't know if it's an office.

241
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
There was stuff in the room.

242
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
He didn't really let me come in.

243
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
He's kind of stopped me.

244
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I tried looking around him.

245
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
As long as they're not donations for future chat, he's just keeping hidden away.

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
He didn't seem to like...

247
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
He seemed to be aware I was trying to look around him.

248
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Yeah, just sidestepping at him.

249
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
It was really suspicious.

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
I don't know what was going on behind him.

251
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Oh, God.

252
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Could have been his work on an NFT.

253
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
As long as it wasn't porn in the office.

254
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
I don't know.

255
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
The bins were full of paper.

256
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
I didn't want to look.

257
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
He was working on something.

258
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Coming up.

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
We have got stuff coming up.

260
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Moving on.

261
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I don't want to know what he gets up to in that room.

262
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Now you've put that in my mind.

263
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Sorry.

264
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Johnny Turner and Friends.

265
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
are rescued in 'Lightly Used News'.

266
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
We close our eyes, caress and guess each other's mystery item in 'Tat in the Box'.

267
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
We've got a new game!.

268
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Yes, yeah, we do.

269
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I was about to say, have we?

270
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
What have you inserted into the episode you haven't told me about?

271
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
No, it's a new board game.

272
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah.

273
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
We will finish Crystal Maze at some point, I promise.

274
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Yeah, we will.

275
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
What have we got?

276
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,000
We've got the Criss Cross Quiz, which I picked up a couple of weeks ago in Swansea.

277
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
The Grandad's favourite TV show?

278
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Yeah.

279
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
The Grandad's TV network.

280
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
God.

281
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
It's all ITV now, there's no more Granada.

282
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Also, it's my choice of Charity Shop's sourced board game...er, book.

283
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Fuck!

284
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
I can't read my writing.

285
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
It's my choice of Charity Shop's sourced BOOK to end the show in Bibliotat.

286
00:13:46,000 --> 00:14:03,000
For Likely Used News, we turn once again to the Abergavenny Chronicle from Tim Butters on Monday 17th June 2024.

287
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Abergavenny Man claims Tom Cruise saved him from being eaten alive by wild pigs.

288
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:22,000
An Abergavenny Man has made the outlandish claim that Hollywood royalty Tom Cruise saved him and his friends from being eaten alive by an army of wild pigs in the Forest of Dean.

289
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Semi-professional, long-distance runner Johnny Turnip claims that after an illegal boar hunt went wrong, the Top Gun star came to his rescue.

290
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:39,000
We were naked and alone, and had pretty much resigned ourselves to being ripped limb from limb in an orgy of savagery, explained Turnip.

291
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:47,000
We were lost and exhausted, and it was only a matter of time before the hordes of hungry trotters sniffed us out and made us their prey.

292
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Turnip added, we heard the hooves thundering against the ground before we saw them.

293
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
There must have been about 500 of the porkers all headed our way.

294
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Everything seemed hopeless, but just as Puerto Rico Paul began reciting the Lord's Prayer, and Big Tony began bellowing, beating his chest and preparing to go out in a blaze of glory, the stampede of pigs was drowned out by the noise of helicopter blades.

295
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Turnip explained that as they looked up, they saw a Black Hawk helicopter and the familiar figure of Tom Cruise throwing down the rope ladder and shouting...

296
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Oh, I'm not doing the voices, sorry. Forgot to say that at the start!

297
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
"Come on, JT, climb on up and let's get the hell out of Dodge.

298
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
You got some mean and hungry pigs in your tail, boys, "
Turnip told the Chronicle.

299
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:38,000
To give your readers a bit of context, it's only fair I explain that me and Tom go way back. I call him Tyke on behalf of his diminutive stature.

300
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:45,000
We first met in 2004 when Johnny Depp was filming scenes for the Libertine movie at Tretower Court just outside of Crickhowell

301
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Tyke was suffering from a midlife crisis at the time and developed an unhealthy obsession with Depp and used to follow him around the world.

302
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000
He was in disguise when I met him in a local pub, but I recognised him and after a few ails, we became firm friends.

303
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Over the years, Tyke's often stayed with me for long weekends when he needs a steady dose of realism to counter all the nonsense he has to deal with in La La Land.

304
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I once nearly persuaded him to buy Maerdy FC, but Ryan Reynolds did something similar in Wrexham and ruined that idea.

305
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Turnip added, anyhow, after a rescue, I later learned that he had made one of his surprise visits to Abagivemi only to find me and the boys had gone AWOL.

306
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
He later called on Nanny Annie 'Horror Show' Turnip to find out where me and the boys were.

307
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:35,000
After she threw a pint of rum and shrub over Tyke because she thought he was a cold caller selling life insurance, she told him they were probably dead in the Forest of Dean somewhere.

308
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Horror Show's got a great sense of humour, but he was lost on Tyke. He took it quite literally and decided to charter a chopper to recover our bodies.

309
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000
In hindsight, it's a good job he did. We and the boys would have been eaten up by the pigs and spat out as fertiliser.

310
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Turnip explained, after they'd boarded the chopper, piloted by Cruise and a fella called Cornelius Clyde, they were given army jumpsuits to cover their nakedness.

311
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000
They then told the Hollywood star their tale of white deer, LSD, psychics, necromancers, immortality and mythological pig creatures.

312
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Cruise just nodded his head solemnly and said,

313
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000
"You fella have seen some crazy shit. Maybe one day it'll make a great movie, but for now my job's to get you goddamned heroes back to civilisation".

314
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Turnip recalled, as we left the combat zone, Tyke issued us with these fantastic cigars to smoke, but before we could light up and forget and maybe forgive the world and the demands he'd made of us, I heard Puerto Rico Paul scream,

315
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
"Look! down there! It's Indiana Jenkins! We've got to save him!"

316
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Turnip added, below me there was a clearing in the forest, and in this field we could see Indy bravely running for his life as the hundreds of pigs chased him.

317
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:49,000
It was a bit like the scene in Platoon where Sergeant Elias's chest was fired at by NVA troops. How Indy had survived this point I had no idea. I screamed at Tyke,

318
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
There's a man left behind! Take the chopper down now!

319
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Tyke coolly replied in a no-nonsense military style, "Roger that JT, Black Hawk down", and maneuvered the chopper to a better angle to land, before grinning cheekily and saying, "I'll take you right into the danger zone".

320
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Meanwhile, Big Tony had manned the helicopter's machine gun, and with a cigar in his mouth, he began bellowing as he let rip into the pigs.

321
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
"Eat lead you motherless sons of bitches!"

322
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Tony was like a man possessed, but for every pig he felt, five others would appear in his place.

323
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:29,000
As the swine slowly culled up with Indy, the poor sod just fell to his knees, held his arms skyward in a futile plea for help.

324
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:37,000
There was a terrible cacophony of squealing and grunting as Indy's final adventure came to an end. Puerto Rico screamed, "No!"

325
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And none of us could look, as Indy was eaten alive by the pigs. I just sighed, Abort Tyke, abort.

326
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Turnip revealed that as Tom Cruise flew the helicopter back to Abagaveni, the three friends sat in silence as they tried to come to grips with the events of the last few days.

327
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Turnip said, We all just gazed moodily out of the chopper like men who had seen some serious action tend to.

328
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Puerto Rico Paul tried to give voice to our emotions when he solemnly quoted the main guy in platoon and said,

329
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:15,000
"I think now looking back, we do not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now."

330
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,000
I could see Big Tony's nostrils flaring before he slapped Puerto Rico Paul around the head and warned,

331
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
"Behave you pathetic ponce". 
At the same time, in a sudden moment of clarity, I was no longer a semi-professional long distance runner,

332
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I was a semi-professional paranormal investigator, and my true trials had yet to begin.

333
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box.

334
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
I got my claps right! You were sabotaging me, actively sabotaging me.

335
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I did not clap at all. What are you on about? You just keep getting them wrong every week.

336
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:02,000
No! This room is not that echo-y. Everyone's going to know that those tiny background claps are from your little man hands.

337
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
I didn't do anything. I've just been sat here listening to you like I do every single week. I don't know what you're talking about.

338
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
You just try and ruin my mood.

339
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Editing last week, you were so happy. You got it perfect. I could have been adding some claps all this time. I've got to remember.

340
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,000
No one would know. I keep getting them wrong. I could have been throwing one in here and there.

341
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
You're such a git. It's a good job I like you.

342
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
I'm just jealous you can sing and enjoy singing.

343
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
I don't know about either of those two things, but okay.

344
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
It's such a heavy tat box this week.

345
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Oh no! Is it just ginormous?

346
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
It's weighing down. 
4That's what they all say.

347
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
The box is the same size it always is to be fair.

348
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Oh my item. It's cut like... Anyway, you'll find out.

349
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Okay. Shall I close my eyes and hold my hands out?

350
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Yes, please.

351
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Okay. Hang on. Let me turn so I don't hit the microphone-ary.

352
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Okay. Please be gentle.

353
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:09,000
It's quite delicate. Actually, I might need to guide your hands.

354
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Actually, you might need to hold on to that. There you go.

355
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
You're going to know what it is immediately.

356
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I think I do.

357
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
You haven't moved your hands at all.

358
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
I literally haven't moved my fingers or anything.

359
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
From that, you'll know what colour it is as well.

360
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000
I didn't want to know what it was immediately.

361
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
I'm trying so hard to be like, don't guess immediately.

362
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
From just holding the base of it so it doesn't fall off your hand, you guessed it.

363
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
My thumb is on a nubbin.

364
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
That's enough. There's nothing else like it. It's too obvious from touch.

365
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
It's plastic. Again, I still haven't moved my hands.

366
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
You have to play along. You know exactly what it is.

367
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Is it black?

368
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
You have to guess.

369
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Is it predominantly black?

370
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I can't give you any clues.

371
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Is there a steering wheel and a pedal on it?

372
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
No.

373
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Oh! It's not what I thought it might be, but now I know what it is.

374
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
I had to move one hand.

375
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
I thought you'd guess it immediately from the nubbin.

376
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,000
No, when you put it in my hands I thought it was one of those PlayStation steering wheel pedals.

377
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
I've worked out what you thought the steering wheel was now.

378
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
So, it's la...

379
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
I'm rubbing my hands up the entire length of it. It's very knobbly bobbly.

380
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
It's very knobbly bobbly.

381
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
A:I don't know how you make it sound rude every episode
K I don't have to sound rude every episode?

382
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
A: HOW do you make this sound rude?

383
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
How do I make it sound rude every episode?

384
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:59,000
OK, so it's wider at the base. It has a flared base, ladies and gentlemen, for safety.

385
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:08,000
It has a nice, relatively straight angle at the back and a slightly...

386
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
...Yeah.

387
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
You can just say exactly what it is.

388
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
It's a Dalek.

389
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
You even guessed the colour right when you thought it was something wrong.

390
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Even when I thought it was something wrong.

391
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Can I open my eyes now?

392
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000
I'll pop it on...
