Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, let's talk about Pooh today. Fossilized Pooh. They are
prehistoric time capsules, and a poozium has been opened, a
world breaking one. Brandon, you and I are world breakers.
We hold a Guinness World record. Why don't you tell
the people about that.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I know at eight o'clock every morning that you go
for a try and set a new record.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We own the world record. What we did for about
a week for the world's longest underwater broadcast. We did
the Sydney Aquarium surrounded by lemon sharks and a great nurse.
And a great nurse she was there just in case
we did our pulse taken. But this is a world record.
This guy's name is George Franson. He holds the Guinness
(00:41):
World Record for the largest collection of fossilized feces, and
so he has opened up his poozium. Rather than saying
fossilized feces, they're called coprolte, don't ever buy me jewelry
made from coprolite. So this man has the world's largest
prehistoric Pooh specimens. He's got dinosaur Poosh, He's got over
eight thousand fossils, including that of the dinosaurs and a
(01:04):
renowned twenty seven inch sample of carnivalre coprolite called barnum.
Imagine having a giant poo named after you, and he said,
Initially many people react with a yak face or laughter
when they first hear of the pooseum. But people leave
this one of a kind experience fascinated.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And what do we learn about it? Well, we learn.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
About what if it's, say, a dinosaur pooh. We learn
about their diet. Yep, we learn about what microbes might
have been present in their gut, so their gut health,
their diet, their gut health and their diet that I mentioned,
gut health and also diet. Okay, you know one pooh
I'm fascinated by. Yes, it's a human pooh, of course
you are. This is a fossilized Viking pooh. It's the
(01:45):
world's most valuable excrement. It's twelve hundred years old, as
they say here a twelve hundred drier oll Belle movement.
It is at the Viking Center in York, in England.
And what's fascinating about it? This is from the ninth
century AD.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's scientific value puts it at thirty nine thousand dollars.
But it's massive happy, Well it's not written here, but
have a look how massive you think that might be?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Well, that's massive, bigger than the it's next door Guinness
World Record?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is that is that actual sign that's bigger than the plak?
Is that actual sign?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
My god, Vikings what they eat?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well that's what they're using this to find out. What
I find extraordinary is that that Viking went to a
private place to have a private moment. And if someone
had said, how you're going to be immortalized, he would
thought for my daring do, for my great works, for
my luscious hair, no mate, for saving the Pooh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
His wife was evident, Oh life, where are you? The
huns are coming.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And he's saying give it twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Twenty there was that story and you like to bring
this up. It's is about the queen, Yes, the estpol Pooh.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I've heard this from someone very high up in the navy,
and it may be an urban myth, but go on
that it's a dreadful time.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That a net would be not a person called a net.
A net would be put across the loop. If she
had to go to the toilet on one of.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
These big ships where with the net on the.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Under the s bend to catch the four.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So on there, So it was a direct pump out
into the sea.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Is that what boats do well?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
In the old days they had boats, you know? These
days modern boats have holding tanks and the like. But
maybe in the old days it just went straight to waist.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And it would be it would be captured.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yep, so they put above the bar. I don't know
if it's so awful.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm trying to ride.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You're saying that someone able to see him, an old
mate bend over with a net and as the queen
dropped a log flushed it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It goes out.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All I know it was captured. I don't know how
the workings. I don't have the plumbing books on a
big ship.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm just putting pieces together here they.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Hunt for Red October. But I don't like to talk
about it because I actually don't think that the sailors
in the British Navy would be disrespectful enough to do it.
I think they idolized the queen. Of course, Philip might
be another story.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But you have been purporting this story.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
For someone someone who was high up in the merchant
Navy told me that who was that. I'm not going
to tell you my sources.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It wasn't Captain Bird's Eye, wasn't Captain Birds was Captain Snooze.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And that was a real person.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So I was an official naval officer, not a merchandised.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Not mister old mate down the shops.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So that wasn't like a corporate I don't like to
talk advertising icon.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It was a time when I found that story funny,
and as I get older, I just think I don't
like it anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, well, maybe should drop it from your repertwiy Well you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Forced me to tell you, and that Viking saying hey
make can you drop mine as well?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Not my story
