I was justthat was a guest episode.
Let's not include Ned Kelly.
Ned Kelly was yours.
I know, but, like,I was just like,

(01:46):
Everybody from my episodes
passed awayat least 15 years ago.

There's going to bea few episodes like that. Yes.
Nothing much has changed.
So just spoiler alert.
I'm going to for I'mgoing to for do this. Right.
We still don't know whothe Somerton man is, so don't
even ask. Oh.
(02:08):
Baby. Not now.
Now it's all conjecture. Still.
We still don't know the answerfor the Somerton man.
So don't emailus. Don't add me on Instagram.
Not that anyone ever does.Thanks.
One thing I really enjoy.
I'll close that window there.
One thingI really enjoyed doing this
was thatthere's quite a lot of updates,
like new news articlesthat are like bomb
(02:29):
users, new information,and it's nothing.
It's stuff that like we talkedabout two years ago
in episodes and I presenting itnow, like in Roanoke,
you know, how there wasthat map with the star on it
and they were like, oh,the stars coming up?
Yeah, people are talking aboutthat like a week ago.
Like it was new information.Yes. Hang on, hang on.
You say that.
But I have done one
episode. We'll get to it.
(02:50):
Just let me have a.
It's about 500 wordsI've written for one. Wow.
One up to one. Eighthof a normal episode.
Yeah, I know,
it took up a fair bit of my timelast night anyway.
Well, let's get started.
Episode one.
Yeah. Aaron's balloon fest.Yeah.
It was.
Well, I mean, Sean,before we get into the episode,
Sean said that he was goingto do a competing intro.
(03:11):
I was going to do an ad libbed,competing intro.
You can't have thisas part of it. Like, no.
Yeah, here's what we do.
I'm going to mention it now,
and then we're going to HardCut Podcast,
depending on which intro you sawin this episode
that that will determinewhat happened just now.
Fair enough.
And 3 to 1 had cut.
(03:32):
And way back from the hard kind.
Way back from the hard cut.
And you know which onewe went with. Yeah.
So if you know which one
you went with, congratulationsI won.
Yeah. I'm not pissy at all.
I mean. It'sthe perfect time to be in it.
You know whatI was going to be like?
And cut.
And now we do. Aaron. One.
And now we're back.
(03:53):
And now we're back.What did we do that for?
Oh, that was the BrisbaneLions Brisbane Broncos.
Yes for the grand final one.So we're back.
We're back from the hard cut.And you're. Back.
Yeah. And mine wasn't.It wasn't as good.
I hate that you're referencingthat when we just lost
to Penrith yesterdayin a similar fashion. Yes.
Although it was a try
that was exactly the sameas that grand final.
Broncos are not good this year.
(04:14):
They're like hot and cold.
We beat the number oneteam, right?
No good. And couldn'tbeat the last place today.
Good. They're not so good.
And, Three timedefending champions.
All time.
Full time. Yeah.
Not in a row, isn't it?
Oh, they won three in a row.
Oh they won four.
And I'm pretty sure they won.
I'm in my head. It was four.
Now I'm pretty surethey won four because they beat.
(04:35):
They won one.
But they still on line.Won three in a row.
I'm pretty surethey've won four in a row
because they beat Melbournelast year.
I'm just into the Broncos.
Before. 21, 22, 23 and 24 four.
In a row. There you go.
We just like as much as we hatethat team.
That is impressive.
That's an impressiveachievement.
Yeah I mean.
I'm on stump doing the dodgycelebrations.
(04:56):
On Hawthorn.Couldn't even do that.
Yeah BrisbaneLions can do three.
They did three that it couldn'tdo for. Lost in the fourth.
Yeah. So did Hawthorn.
Lost in the fourth to BuddyFranklin in this one.
Hawthorn.
You know that would have beenon a short a show a short.
You know what you know the AFLlike with sheds.
All right.
Episode one Balloon Fest.
(05:16):
Are we actually goingto go through one by one?
Honestly, we're going to skipall the ones that know up that.
Cool.
Oh, but mention mention favoriteepisodes.
Oh, yeah, we got it.
But we're not going to mentionthe garbage ones.
I don't know what he thinksabout.
Like there was somethat I saw that I was like,
oh yeah, I did that. Yeah, I didfavorite. Episodes at the end.
Yeah, yeah.
So Balloon Fest started at all.
(05:37):
We recorded that onein my office at my old house,
and boy, does it sound terrible.
Don't go. That sounds so bad.
It is.
It is a great episode,but it sounds awful.
I listened to iton the way to the fair
in our riding cinemasfor Utans villians.
Wow. In the listener list. Yeah.
Shout out to Townsville!
I'm listen to it in the car
(05:58):
with Rachelon the way to the cinemas.
I don't remember what I saw
at all, but
I do remember, like sittingin the car park for the cinema,
waiting to finish the episodebefore we went side.
Rachel, Rachel said to me,
it's like having our friendswith us. That's correct.
That's exactly right.You like that?
You've said, that's.
Lovely and very sad. Yes.
(06:19):
Yeah. No update on that one.
Well, I have to mentionmy first episode,
which started the entireboating World War Two thing,
which is the Battle of Midway.
Yes. The granddaddy of.
Little didwe know. Boats, boats, boats.
Little did
we know that 50% of episodeswould follow that theme.
I mean, there'sno I'm not one either.
(06:40):
Yeah. There shouldn't be. No.
Battle of the services.
That was myprobably weakest episode.
It was number two for me.
Roger Federer retired in 2022.
Rafael Nadal in 24.
So they both done? Yeah, yeah.
For an hour episodesfor the Hatton Garden heist.
The old, old men.
We brought it up.We update this.
(07:00):
We brought it up in this year'squiz show medley of magic.
We did. We did bring it up.
And neither of uscould remember the Nazis.
It was a tough question, though.
We, reckon that
was probablythe first breakout episode.
I think.
So, yeah,it was a very engaging episode.
Yeah, that was fun.
And then it had the twist itin with the opening. Yes.
Twists.
(07:22):
Few and far between insome of these episodes.
Yeah.
Most of the time we knowwhat's coming. Yeah.
Real episode six and sevenwas the Titanic and Titanic
increased its KD in 2023.
Might get mentionedlater as well.
Yeah that was the Titansubmersible. Yep.
Increasethe death count of the Titanic.
No update for Roswell.
That's, Well, they had I triedlooking at it last night.
(07:44):
They have released the bodies
of the aliens, a couple,they released documents.
Yeah.
That. Yeah. Nothing concrete.
Nothing concrete.
Sorry, Tom,I love you. I'm with you.
You were right. Tom was right.But still nothing.
Where are you?
Yeah, nothing. Super concrete.
Shout out to to the starsapparel and media.
(08:05):
Love you guys. TomDeLong, Tom's time long folks.
Bring back McBeth shoes.
Have a good. Actually.Yes. Yeah.
Please bring back the McBethElliot specifically in white.
Black. Thank you.
1904 Olympics.
My. Yeah. Good episode.
That was probably oneof my early favorite episodes.
Just athat was episode nine. Yeah.
(08:25):
Well with jump
jumping my jumpingmy gun of say, favorites
at the end, but Knightand F4 is my favorite episode,
and it's the oneI tell people to listen to.
Yeah, yeah.And it didn't sound like.
It's what I think we should do.We should just. Say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, just because of the just
the things that kept on happen,it was one of those.
It's kind of a peekbehind the curtain.
See it just type of thing.
(08:46):
It's kind of what we aim for
in our story is, is somethingthat we can just hit something.
You guys with it?
You know, every manon the episode with
or somethinglike terrible happening
or weed happeningor strange happening
and then followed upwith something worse.
And you just like,hang on a bit, how can this get
worse or better? Yeah.
And it just kept getting worse.
(09:07):
And the 1904 Olympics was thefirst one that really hit that,
we hadthe one twist would have gone,
but the 99 was hitafter hit after hit.
And it had another rehash
because it's obviouslyassociated
with the LouisianaPurchase Exposition,
which got brought up inthe doctor Pepper episode. Yep.
That was the beginningsof The Cheek of Us.
Very good.
Well, actually, it was midway
(09:28):
because that shows upin every other episode.
But, you.
Know,
and then I believe
it was the first of these spookyspectaculars.
Was it? What was that one.
That was, The gross movie.
The combination that wherethey used the real steroids.
The real skeletons.
Yeah. Yeah, that was awful.
That's gross. One.
And, the Annabelle doll,I think was covered.
(09:49):
Yeah,the Annabelle doll and about.
How about
baby doll? Sorry, everyone.
I'm sorry we don't.
The next one was like cityquiet pills.
We got Slappy.
He showed up for the first time.
That's correct.Slappy wasn't invented then?
No, the.
Slap dogwasn't a thing back then.
Now it's just Sean.
Just Sean?
Just Sean? Yeah.
Go back and editthe description of the episode.
(10:10):
Yeah, that's,that's before video.
Cheeky tales.
So then I think after that one,was that.
The first video episode?
Oh. Russian. I didn't.
It was one of mine I think.
Might be a YouTube. Yeah. Yeah.
But after that one, didn't
someone do didn'tSean do an episode after that?
(10:32):
No, I did Piper.Bill Millen. Yes.
He did it. At the same.
Time, because that was the onewe had the first coming of.
You and I were justbeing absolute tales to Sean,
and I loved it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure, sure.
I'm trying to get onwith a really good story.
Just trying to tell his story.
We're just being absolutebadasses.
Couldn't stop.
(10:53):
So Bill Millen was 12.
Surely not 12.
Who knew him?Yeah. My my episode.
What did you do?
Episode 12 I don't I don't havethe numbers next door.
I've just got a list of stuff.
This is really like a clip show.
It is. It is a clip show.
We're celebrating a podcaston our podcast.
And it's our second clip showbecause didn't we have one that
(11:15):
I releasethat was just old a little bit.
Yeah.
That was like an in between,like.
Or it.
Might be Eiffel Tower.
What? No, it can't be Aussie.
The YouTube is not necessarilyputting them in the right order.
So I can saywhich video came first
because like, it'slike there's the audio versions
(11:36):
of all these podcasts.
But that waswe definitely filmed.
The first one was Johnand I's face
either side of the old logo.
Yeah, I know,but that's that can't be correct
because that's the Eiffel Towerepisode.
That's episode 64.
Yeah, that would have beenthe first Eiffel Tower episode.
Yeah.
Oh, so it was JohnVictor Lustig.
(11:57):
Yeah, right.
But like, I'm scrolling backand I can see Dyatlov like,
we've got the audioversions of the book.
Maybe that is the first videowhere.
The first videowould have been. Yeah.
And then the audio ones aresitting behind the video ones
because you uploaded themall at once. Yeah.
But there's well,there's newer versions like.
The first one. Was maybe.
I don't remember thatepisode being that,
I don't know, maybe I don't, I,maybe I remember filming that.
(12:19):
We didn'tfilm it. Yeah. Anyway, it was,
after like
city part filmswas the math part of D-Day.
Yeah.
I just I didn't converse louderafter that.
No update. Correct.And then I did Santa Cruz.
Oh, actually, did Niki Lauda diebefore that episode.
Where.
Name?
Yeah, I think Niki Loud is dead,
(12:41):
but I mean, he's dead,but he might have died after
after that episode.
That wasthat would have been in 2021.
Yeah.He passed away in 2019 2019.
So before Iwhat about James Hunt?
I mean, do we want to start fast
forwarding to the episodesthat actually had updates
rather than just namingevery episode?
Yeah. Already 15 in.
What are we had Santa ClausSanta Claus come update
(13:01):
he's he's. ComeSanta Claus proven to be real.
He's he's visitedthree times since the last time
since we spokeabout him. I saw him at,
Cannondale.
I know he's real. Yeah.
Not not on boardwith Big Christmas.
That's fine. Well,that Santa Claus.
Could call the Christmas.
Show is more of a Hanukkah. Guy.
I think Santa Claus is the lastepisode of 2021.
Must have been.
(13:23):
Yeah, we didn't always do, like,an actual New Year's episode.
Yeah.
Well, I was an absolute bangerin the middle there.
There was Dan Sicklesand Race to the South Pole.
Yeah, that was dancingwith another great.
Another great episode.So race to the South Pole.
We had Halley's comet. Halley's.
Halley's comet. Yeah.
No update for that.
Was the episode that madeyou want to produce.
That made me,That was one of them.
(13:46):
There was that one.
There was a moment where youidiots talked about it.
Say, salad.
And I was in my.
That may have been on purpose.
I was in my bathroom.
I just remember they in mybathroom, like, right.
Absolutely raging so angrilylike it.
It's, it's fancy water.
Like just yelling like.
And Rachel's like, what the hellare you yelling about?
I'm like, these moronsdidn't look up.
(14:07):
They're talking about the terms
that they got the script of usin front of them that
weren't doing paper scripts.
Like he could have looked it up.
Made me furious.
I he used to print out scripts.Yeah.
It's an early.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, anyway,glad that we pissed you off
enough to get youon the episodes. Yeah.
And then Halley's Cometwas a big one
because it was a whole,a whole episode of saying.
(14:28):
Oh, yeah, well,there's no episode for that one
because it's still 30 odd yearsaway.
Yeah, yeah.
No updates. It's no updates.
It's still it's it'scoming back.
Coming back closer than.
It's closerthan when we had the episode.
Yeah. It's true.
Look, have ten more Star Warsfilms by then. Probably.
I hope so.
Somewhere in these episodes
is when you startedbeing clumsy to.
(14:49):
When you, It was early one.Oh. Yeah.
That was still a Pavel.
Yeah. The two episodeswe knocked in a row.
In a row where you knocked over.You drink? Yes.
I haven't done it since. Yeah.Good. Been three. Years.
You've been through.I'm three years of.
Three years sober.
Three times.
Sober.
So the next episodethat I had an update on.
(15:10):
Was where we had the,
Adams episode,which was the Timothy books.
Yes. Right episode.
He was another one of those,like, what is this guy up to?
Like, he just keeps doingthe worst thing possible.
The next one I had is our mostpopular episode, numbers wise,
which is the 96 Everestdisaster.
2023 was
(15:30):
the deadliest seasonon the mountain ever.
Okay.
Most deaths,but also the most climbs.
So yeah. Okay.
Not actuallythe most deadly like.
The ratio was not so but.
Just yeah, it was only 2.76%.
I was. Just that was.
Second lowest death rate. Yeah.
Right on that episode I knowsomeone that same brain boots.
(15:52):
Yeah. You know.
I've had I heard someone come inthe barbershop that had scaled
Mount Everest and it was
the he he did it the
he was on the expedition
where someone took that photo,and there was just
dozens and dozens
and dozens of people lined upwaiting to summit like, 20.
Two, I think. Yeah.
Oh, I think it was early in thatmaybe whatever it was.
(16:13):
He was 15.
He. Yeah, it was he summitedthat that was that day.
Yeah.
So he had a lot of timestanding around.
Yeah. And so quitea lot of the bodies.
The famous bodies. Yeah.
Also,
no, that'snot really Everest disaster,
but obviouslythey've found a boot.
Yes, they found a boot.
It's yet
they found the bootfrom one of the people
that was supposedto have climbed it
(16:33):
much earlier than Sir EdmundHillary and Tenzing Norgay his.
20 years earlier.
Yeah, it was much, much,much earlier they found
because they disappeared.
But they hadif they can find their bodies,
they had cameras with themand they will have photos
as towhether they actually sometimes.
So findingthe boot is a good start.
Yeah. It means they likein the vicinity
of where his body is. Yes.
Yeah.
So I hada couple here that I actually,
(16:56):
sent around a screenshotlast night.
Rose doing a little bit,and I was like, surviving a fall
without a parachute.
I said, there's no changesto the leaderboard there.
Henry the eighth wives,they're still all dead.
Still all dead.
Dolphin house.
It hasn't been a dolphin house.
No, I.Don't know where dolphin house.
Is that. The first?That's the. Word.
(17:16):
Yeah, that's the worst episode.
It's the.
It's interesting.It's just really icky.
But, yeah, dolphins haven'ttalked either, so there's no,
update there.
I do have an updatefor Robert Smalls.
Okay.
The slavery,
the Congress,
they are erecting a statueof him in South Carolina.
In South Carolina. Really? Okay.
(17:37):
It's in an area apparently it'smeant to be looking at, like,
something that was oppressiveas well.
Yeah, right.
He's getting a, statueis it's the first black man
in South Carolinato have a statue.
That's whyI. I like South Carolina.
Really? Yeah.
Because they still fly thatConfederate flag pretty high.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah.
It's been approved,and planning is happening.
(17:57):
It hasn't been erected yet,so it's in the process,

That's why I did a last. Yeah.
Sean and I sat and watched,Oppenheimer together.
(22:33):
I have never beenso uncomfortable
in a movie theater.
It was the least comfortableI've ever been in my life.
The chairs were, like,just too close
to stretch your legs at all.
Yeah,and that is a three hour movie.
Aaron's failing to actuallyexplain the correctness of that.
We sat kind of off to the side,
and we're now in our 30s,which meant our knees hurt.
It wasn't that the seatswere that bad, it's
(22:55):
that our knees were that bad.Well,
yeah, but like, we couldn'tstretch our legs at all.
No, I had to put my legs downthe side of the row
in front of me,underneath the curtain.
Yeah.
Because I had,I think the very last seat
on the far right hand side,I was right up against the wall
because we watched it on 70mil film, not digital,
you know, it's. Filmedjust a bit better.
You know, it was fun to watchand it was really fun.
(23:16):
It looked very, very good.
It was like flickering,like old school film.
That was the film. But again.Yeah.
I was that 2023.
That was the movies of 2023.That we had.
So I saw. Two. I saw two oh,
sorry.
Get off it. All right.
So in the 97th Academy Awards.
Yeah.
When is the nominations a Nora.
(23:37):

Conclave. No. Dune part two. No.
Amelia Perez.No. I'm still here.
No. Nicole. Boys. No!
The substance.

Okay.
We'll have to put thaton the list, because.
A door is meant to be pretty.Good.
I did sayI want to watch every award,
(23:58):
like the best picture awardevery year.
Yeah,
I say one in that one,which was Dune part two.
Don't burn down.
Okay, somoving on from the movie game,
there was a coupleof predictions
that we had in that episode
from peoplewho had traveled for it. Right?
So September16th of that year. Yep.
Rememberwe coming up August 15th? Yep.
(24:19):
A famous singer was meantto announce his death. Yep.
Didn't happen.
September 20th.
The sky was meant to go greenfrom a planet exploding.
Yep. The drop happenedOctober 3rd.
A new stalkercreature was meant to appear
after a bunch of peopledisappeared.
Didn't happen.
Happened, and?
And Bunker in Argentinawas to be found last year
(24:41):
in 2024 with a bunch of Texantech and secrets.
Didn't happen.
Didn't happen. Cool.
Time travel might be best.
Now for the meatand potatoes of the update.
If you remember,I claimed, well,
I indulged in the conspiracythat Matt Groening was a time
traveler. Yep.
We've had some updatesfor new predictions
(25:02):
that have come truesince that episode.
Simpsonspredicted. Okay, here we go.
So the first.
One out, President Trump again.No, not counting that one.
The first one,VR headset VR headsets okay.
But they already existed. But
there was a 2016 episode.
Friends and family. Yeah.
Where, Springfield was overtakenby new VR tech.
(25:24):
Right.
And it very closely resemblesthe Apple Vision Pro.
Oh, yeah,because that was such a hit.
Which releasedlast year in February.
So like just the styleand look of it.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen anybodywith an Apple Vision Pro.
No I haven't.
Because they're too expensiveand I don't think they'll ever.
But I didn't really if you if.
You look up,
if you look up the image offrom that thing
(25:46):
and you look at thatApple Vision Pro.
It's very similar.
I think the closest thingwe've got to actual future
predictingI not including The Simpsons.
All right.Finish this first. All right.
Hold that thought, buddy.
2006 episode Less Ducksfour point literally
shows Homervisiting in under flawless.
Yeah. Thank you. Sure.That was so odd.
(26:08):
I don't even know what you said,you know?
I mean. Like deuce or something.
Elias. These UX.
If I went to lay ducks.
But ladies.
The deuce frontally.
Yeah.
Ready. Perry?
Yeah. That episode shows.
How am I visiting an underwaterwreck in a submarine?
(26:28):
And on the way back,they get lost and trapped.
Oh, no.
People claiming
it was a prediction of the 2023torrent disaster.
And at the time,
we said we weren'tgoing to talk about that.
They're really coming instrong with it today.
Oh, butthere is an image of my Marina
in a sub looking at a shipwreckthat's broken in half.
Okay.
Sorry, but it was ait was an all star galleon
(26:50):
type ofship, not a cruise ship. But,
The 1994
episodeLisa versus Malibu Stacy.
I'm sure you know that, right?Yeah.
It showseveryone being wrapped up
on the history of Malibu Stacy,not unlike
what happened in 2023with Margot Robbie's
Bobby movie, which grossed 1.4billion at the box office.
(27:12):
Billy.
That episodealso had a quick line
about the presidentbeing arrested.
All our Trump's arrest in 2023.
Yeah.
I guess I can't bring upTrump again.
Bobby was so popularthat year that there was a Bobby
vending machineput in the building.
I work it is now gone.
(27:34):
But it was there at the time.
We've got more.
You're probably thinkingabout Kamala Harris's outfit
she wore during the lastelection.
US election? I'm never. I neverstopped thinking about it.
The purplesuit with the white undershirt
and the pearl necklace,
which is nearly exactlythe same thing, was what Lisa
Simpson wore in the 2000 episodeBart to the future.
(27:54):
She was president.
It's almost identical.
Okay?
I mean,it's like a suit, right? Yep.
But with the with the largepearl necklace.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then we've gotI'm sure used to boys
because you're such Simpsonsfans.
Also remember the 1993 episodeWhacking Day.
Yeah.
Well the last couple of yearsFlorida's
Pythonchallenge has really taken off
(28:16):
where they go outand put bounties on.
They have a ten day eventto kill pythons with, 2020
for the latest resulting in 195dead pythons.
That's a lot of deadpythons. Yeah.
So in the last four years, it'sreally taken off. Yeah, right.
What about
the 1996 Homer Paloozaepisode in which,
(28:39):
you know where this guy would.
In which Homer becomes famousfor taking cannibalism
to the stomach?
In that episode, Cypress Hillperformed with the London
Symphony Orchestraafter hiring the Bolshoi.
Well, July 10th last year,Cypress Hill and the London
Symphony Orchestraperformed together
at the Royal Albert Hall.
I love that.
(29:00):
That's pretty.
I bring up that episodea lot in the barbershop.
Yeah,it usually involves around me
saying Sean Turner smilingpolitely after they Billy
Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins, HomerSimpson smiling politely.
Yeah, it comes off a lot.
Yeah, I mean, that's prettythat was Prime Simpsons.
Yeah, yeah, that and a Futuramaepisode where Bender says wipe
(29:22):
this season.This is an alternative rock.
This is college rock.
That comes up a lot as well.
That's a very quotable bit.
I think the closestthing we've got to accidental
proof of time travel
is the Cubs nearly winningthe World Series in 2015.
Yes. So obviously the movieback to the future two,
they made a joke about the Cubs,the Chicago Cubs
winning the World Series inwhen he travels forward to 2015.
(29:45):
They made the World Seriesthat year, but they did not win.
They then won it the next year.
But the fact thatthat was the year
that they were talking about itand the Cubs are in the World
Series, everyone was like,oh my God, the everything.
Christopher Lloyd and buddy,Michael J.
Fox, like on The Tonight Show.
Like they were doingsort of like cameos
in their original characters,which is a very big thing.
(30:06):
It's very good for Michael J.
Fox because he pretty muchdonates any money
he does from any of thatto Parkinson's research.
Shout outMichael J. Fox. Good book.
That entireseries is now set in the past.
Yes. Yep.
The things of time travel
that someone has pointed outrecently, not time travel.
But if the song 1995, originallyby S.R.
(30:27):
71 rereleased by bowling for.
So if it was written now,they say in about 2006.
You're right. Oh.
I don't like that.I fine with that.
We're fine with that.
That's the, That was great.
The time, the time
now between when Star WarsEpisode three debuted at cinemas
and now was 20 yearsand I think, oh, jeez,
that didn't feel like thatlong ago.
(30:47):
That's almost the same distancebetween A new Hope in 1977 and.
Animated. Medicine, 1999.
Whoa!
Sorry, everyone.
That's the update for TheSimpsons predicting the future.
They'vehad a couple of more hits.
(31:18):
We had some bangers.
Before I get to my next update.
On my side,we had Princess Diana,
the infamousI want to leave your knickers.
That was in that episode.
Well, what's the update there?
He's now the person who said.
That pointwas. King already. Yeah.
I didn't think so.
We think it waslike a couple of months old.
Yeah, I think I could seea correlation.
(31:39):
For what?
That episode.
I think. They're on.
We had the disappearanceof Agatha Christie.
With the, officersdoing the sales.
Was thatthat was the start of 2023.
Yeah, we'd be getting close.
Yeah.
I had a few in betweenthat I represent
Christmas truce Betty Robertsonspooky spectacular two.
(31:59):
The Analyst, The Exorcist.
Oh yeah.
And FrederickValentine disappearance.
The guy that disappearedout of the best, right?
Oh, yeah. That was spooky.
Yeah,
I had the flan and I was like,keep the lighthouse keepers.
Oh, the guru episode.
Yeah, yeah,there's a movie based on that.
Did we talk about thatat the time?
There's like a 2018 moviethat was that. Yeah.
I need to go watch it.
We hadthe the icky voyage of the
(32:23):
and the infamously titledItchy Voyage.
I feel like that,
episode was betterthan your last recent one.
It stuff actually happens.
Because somebody ate something.
The great fire. London.
Get the fire sticks.
Yep. Yep.
We had the DyatlovPass incident,
which has had no update,despite what,
(32:44):
people keep putting online.
Balloonboy was my one with an update.
Okay,we did not realize at the time,
but six days before thatepisode aired,
Fall OutBoy released their song.
They cover of
We Didn't Start the Firewith the updated Time
Balloon Boysmentioned in that episode.
That's right. In that song. Yes.
(33:04):
I think I mentioned it to youafter we finished all.
Yeah,
well, I found it a week orso after all the data released.
I think it was not. Longafter we released the episode.
I heard that songfor the first time.
Yeah.
So that was, coincidencewe didn't even know about.
I had a few in between there.
Two specificallyfor our clip art.
Christopherleave video game crash, 1983.
(33:26):
Maybe had a few popular videogame movies coming out recently.
So the industry's doingpretty good.
GTA six just got delayed.
Yeah. That's going to bea big boost to the industry.
Elder Scrolls OblivionRemastered
has been patched to the pointwhere it won't load on Xbox.
Yeah really. Yeah. Just yeah.
Trust me.
As the man that nearly threw
his Pro controllerat my TV earlier today. Wow.
(33:47):
Can't even loadit. Don't even just.
It's actually beenpatched to the point
where it doesn't function.
And then the Somerton man.
Yes. The one that Sean saysthere's no update for him.
Oh, I just rememberreading, or hearing
not too long ago thatthey confirmed his identity.
I, I mentioned it in the episodethat it was
(34:07):
highly likelythat was Carr Webb.
And that's who they reckon itis. Yeah.
DNA testing of the hairin the death mask.
How have theystill not done that?
They have done itand they run the team right.
Yeah.
So it's like yeah maybewe found it, maybe we haven't.
Yeah.
It's the it's still I don'tthink it's confirmed, but it's
highly unlikely.
Yeah that will I was justreading something before.
(34:30):
They may have
decrypted his the messageand it's like a death
or something like that. Right.
Okay. Yeah.
Nothing.
Nothing to
Einstein.
Well, talk about in Stone,episode 57 Pompeii.
All right.
Nice.
Good night there. It's okay.
(34:52):
We've had no updatesto the art heist.
I did the middle of the of,like, the richest art heist.
There's not been the moreexpensive one since. Yep.
We had prohibition,which is my favorite thumbnail
of, of all the episodeswe've released on YouTube.
Oh, yeah.
That's.
I'm where all the barrels arebeing emptied into our mouths.
Yep. Yeah.
The next one I had, with an.
(35:13):
Actually, I don't think I've gotanything with an update.
Except for, episode 89,the mystery of the Anila
sting is still too scaredto answer questions.
It still hasn't responded to us.
Oh, I what.Are you hiding, sting?
I potentially have a couplefor the,
D.B. Cooper.
Oh, yes, I know that there'sbeen a potential update.
(35:34):
Here. Take it off for you.
I would rather not know,
because all I knowis there's an update.
I don't know whatthe update was.
I feel like I haven't writtenanything down, but I've got the,
website open.
This article is four months old,
so it is stating thatthe identity of D.B.
Cooper has been revealed.
(35:55):
As I think are two brothers
come forth and saidtheir father was D.B.
Cooper.
Yeah, I did.
I did say something about this.
Rick McCoy.
The third is their father,Rick McCoy.
Junior was the manwho identified himself as Dane
Cooper as he boardedthe Northwest Orient Airline, a
(36:15):
airlines jetliner, in 1971.
They reckon that because
he was a helicopter pilot,
and he had previously
hijacked the plane, was arrestedfor it, but escaped in 1974.
Okay.
And saying that he had done thisthen then he passed away right
(36:36):
after that one.I have an update.
Okay. Well,Sean, was D.B. Cooper.
Now, I'm not D.B. Cooper.
But when you saidDavid, I got me thinking,
doctor pepper uptake.
Oh. I got a doctor Pepper.
That's a DPI update to Dave.
Hey, can I give a sad updateon that before we continue?
There is a corner shopnear me at my new office
(36:57):
that sells doctor Pepper.
They only sell the U.Sdoctor Pepper.
Yeah, it's very common.
Yeah. Makes me sad. Anyway.
Go on doctor Pepper. Updatehave they lost in court?
Creamy coconut is back.
Oh, I don't like that.
I'm not a fan of coconut.
I replaced creamy coconut.
I got to be crazy.
I know they released creamy.
They released CreamyCoconut last year and it's back
(37:19):
and it's apparently everyone'sstockpiling it,
which is a big thing.
I don't bank. Yeah.
And then update we've also got
a new collaboration of doctorPepper.
Doctor Pepper'scool new collaboration draws,
draws,mixed reactions amongst fans
in advance of Jurassic WorldRebirth releases.
Some of the beloved sodabrand has jumped the board.
(37:40):
The press
train, releasing
11 new canned designs featuringa variety of dino stickers.
That's actually pretty cool.
I found the part in the,thing about D.B.
Cooper.
So in late 2023,there was a guy who did a video.
Yeah, finding
that, the FBI contacted himand reopened the case.
They have McCoy's parachute,and they're trying to find
(38:01):
a positive DNA connectionbetween Coy's DNA and the DNA
left by Cooper on boardthe aircraft.
Right. So that's ongoing.
I haven't tested world,I haven't left,
I haven't made a response.Like a comment about it.
Oh, so there mightbe an update? Yeah. Okay.
But, yeah, like I said, McCoywas a former helicopter pilot.
He hijacked a plane in 72,which was a year after D.B.
(38:24):
Cooper, I think. Right.
He leapt out of that aircraftwith half a million in cash
over Utah.
He was arrested two days later,
sentenced to 45 years in prison,but escaped in 1974.
And after three monthson the run, let's kill Burnett.
Okay, so that's what.
Yeah. Could have.
He could be taking the secret.
Yeah, but it sounds very.
So sound very similar.
(38:44):
Yeah.
I also got an updatefor my episode after that
which was Australiawinning the America's Cup.
Okay.
Oh look at how excited John is.
He's praying right.I've got. Some serious flak.
I justI just want to update that.
Yeah.
The last America'sCup was held last year
in Barcelonawith Barcelona Royal
(39:07):
New Zealand Yacht Squadrondefending the title
against the Royal Yacht Squadronfrom England.
New Zealand won that seven two.
So they will be defendingthe next America's Cup again.
New Zealand seems to be takinga run on this thing.
That is the second winin a row, apart from winning it
off of the Golden GateYacht Club in 2017.
That's their third win.
So they go for their fourth winthere.
(39:29):
What was the yacht clubthat had it for ages?
It was at the New YorkYacht Club.
Yes. Yeah.
They rubbish now.
Well other than, other than whatwe've talked about,
I didn't have anything that had
actual updates,
but I did want to call outthe dinner
party episode,which I really enjoyed.
I thought that was a fun one.
And the mystery of the patella,obviously, because of sting.
(39:51):
I might have had another onefor Apollo 13 episode. Yep.
We were meant to say tenacious D
and we didn't get to seetenacious D. That's right.
Yeah, yeah, to.
Hex Kyle Gass.
So that would have beena fun update for that.
Do younot remember what happened?
Let's check Black's.
Oh, I thought you were talkingabout the connection to it.
Oh yes. Thanks.
But we talked about Jackblack in the episode.
(40:11):
I thought he was sayingthat car gas
was the connectionto the episode.
I'm like,no, that's not correct.
So yeah, that'sthat's all I wrote.
Well, if we are donewith updates on episodes,
we do have actually an updateon the last episode.
We did, the endurance show.
Sean, would you mind checkingthe right hand cupboard
(40:32):
of the entertainment unitfor me?
Oh, interesting.Do we have a video on this?
No. But, Sean will be able to.
I have to get up.
Sean will be able to showwhat I've stashed in there
to the camera.
Oh. Maybe not.
Sorry, mate.
I could do it.
(40:52):
Oh, no.
I didn't realizethis would be such a mission.
Sean is, saying, gee, mate,thanks for the excitement.
So just just pop that open there
and see what'ssee what's inside.
Oh. What's that?
Hold it up to the camerafor everyone.
Sit back. Down.
You go, go,go with that camera over there.
Whatever.
(41:12):
Go with that camera.
We have some Shackleton whiskey.
Oh, it is the Shackleton whiskey
that we talked aboutin the episode that was,
that was made with the,
it's made to match the whiskey
that they found, many yearslater from the expedition.
(41:33):
Oh, you having a dram? Yeah,absolutely.
There's some glasses over here.I'll grab them. To.
You pre-loaded thishaving you earlier? Yeah.
Not so easy now, is it?
We don't have a jigger,so we're free pouring.
Cheeky tells a dozen to us theresponsible service of alcohol.
(41:55):
Always drink responsibly.
Don't drink, don't drive.Do the watermelon crawl.
That's an actual terrible.
Nice joke.
Sorry.
I think that should bea sufficient measurement.
Isn't just a finger.
Smell. Wonderful?
(42:16):
Yes. It's.
It smells like whiskey.
The correct wordthat we should be
saying, by the way, is Salonika.
Right.
Foreign reconnect.
Yeah. Let me let me get back.
You can cut the May explainingwhat to say.
So we all sound really smart.If you'd like.
A sign that would.
Show I, So I see a salon.
(42:40):
Salon cha cha.
Don't look up out spell.
It'll confuse you. Cilantro,
cilantro.
Yeah.
Thoughtthis would be a nice little.
100 episodes.
100 to 100 mole.
That's a nice, clean Scotch.
Bit of pate.
Not bad. It's good.
(43:00):
I imagine it would be quite niceif it was, in Antarctica.
Yeah, and you're freezingcold. You need to warm up.
It's nice. In general. It'sgood. It's actually not bad.
It's got. I'm not really,I'm not really a Scotch guy.
You're not a big scotch?Yeah. You're not.
You're not a peat guy. No, no,this is not bad.
I tried becoming a Scotch guya few years ago.
It's quite. Nice.How do you go with Pete? John?
Are you a big Pete guy?I'm not much of a Pete guy.
(43:21):
Yeah, I'm on it.
This is dangerous.
Given me.
I have to talk about spillingdrinks that.
You know,that's why you only got one nip.
Contributionfrom the sales of this whiskey
we made to the AntarcticHeritage Trust of New Zealand.
What is the quotein the glass above the ocean?
I believeit is in our nature to explore,
(43:41):
to reach out into the unknownand known as Shackleton.
Yeah, yeah.
So as soon as I heard that
whiskey existed,I went and looked it up.
I had to buy it offof a website.
I was. Talking.That's right, you do.
You had to buy it off thethe New Zealand Heritage
Bay Antarctic HeritageTrust website. Nope.
No. Dan Murphy'sused to stock it.
Yeah. Okay. I want to do well.
I was talking to Kirstyabout the episode
(44:02):
after I got home from my lastrecording of.
It was a podcast about,
the endurance up thing.
She's like Shackleton. I'm like,
yes, well. Done.
Did she do it at schoolor something? I don't know,
it isa pretty famous expedition.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the
and the ship is so interestingbecause it's so preserved.
(44:24):
She might have justremembered it from our side.
Maybe. Maybe.
Anyway, I thought that was anice little touch to do.
We want to show yousome of our favorites.
I, I think I hit my favoriteswhile we were talking.
I mean, I just want to mentionthe best
episode ninethat we've ever had.
Which, was that.
(44:45):
Higher ups. And it picks.
You ups and. Notes,and the other is the best.
Well done.
Thank you.
Well done.
That is the best titlethat we've had, I believe.
That's the episode on.
What was. Losing.
What was.
That? Was the lostlike losing nuclear weapons?
Yes. Blunders.
Yeah.
What was the namethat I gave the.
What was the name I gavethe Pompeii episode, I think.
(45:08):
Was it like the floor is lava?
Yes, something like that. Yeah.
The ultimate gameof floor. Was live. On. Yeah.
What an asshole.
All right.
Top five, top five episodes.
And more of episodes.
In an ascending or descendingorder.
We'll start at five. Workjust out of five.
Work up.
Oh, that's a good question.
(45:29):
This.
There's so many now.
I reckonnumber five might be had gone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hadn't gone was a fun one. Yeah.
I really enjoyed,
I really enjoyed the,
the like city quiet pills one.
But I know you didn't.
(45:49):
Know it was difficultto stay invested in that one.
Yeah,it was a bit of a, it was a bit
of a fizzle of an episode,I think.
Like a fizzle.
I, I think the episode wherewe just talked about maths,
that was great,but get it out of here.
For episode ranking number.
So we had done itfive. Hat and garden.
(46:10):
Is it five?
Yeah.
At four I think maybe.
And race across Antarctica.
That was a good one.
Yeah.
Or as a substitute datelove Dyatlov Pass.
Pass.
That's archetypal probably,but the they.
But both of them there in forI tell you
you could take it or leave iteither one.
Do you think the flan and oilsone sits in there as well, or.
(46:33):
Not? It's not in my top five.
It's not in my top five.
It's a good episode.Was not in my top five.
I thinkThe Great Fire of London.
That was a fun episode.
Not that great a story.
But it was a funepisode. It was a lot of fun.
Because wecan't just include the episodes
when we laugh the mostbecause there were episodes.
What?
We laughed hysterically at that
stuffthat wasn't even really funny.
We just laughed like it.
(46:56):
Like any episodewe did that, we just laughed.
Pompeii episode was just calledPompeii is Really Bad Day,
I think. I,I think I censored myself.
You did?
Yeah, I think I think you hadthe floors labor in the intro.
That was. Yeah, that's right.Yeah, yeah.
One episode
I do remember writingthat really got me
engrossed in the storywas the Pacific Clipper.
Yeah.
Like,I knew the story and I started
(47:17):
researching it, and I'm like,it just keeps going up.
Did everyone that was on,they had to basically fly
the entire world to get homeduring the war. Yes. Correct.
Yeah. Yep.
Yeah.
It took off from San Francisco
and was bannedfor Auckland, New Zealand.
And then I went roundthe other way.
ChristopherLee was a good episode.
I wasn't good at first of all.It was a good episode.
We ended it with the metal song.
(47:38):
Yeah. Yes.
He's saying some stuff.
Dude. He's saying some stuff.
I mean, I think we all agreeon the best episode was 1904,
I think.
But for me, 1904 is my favorite.
I'd say it's the best,but there's others
that I think could contend.
I was going to have,
(47:58):
Dan Tentaclesis one of my favorite episodes,
and I
anyone asked me one to startwith our guy with Dan Sickles
because I, I remember losing ithalfway through that episode
because he shot someone
outside the white Houseand got away with it.
That's right. Yeah. He did.
Someone in cold blood. Yep, yep.
And nothing happened. Yeah.
(48:19):
Personally, I loved
the space race episodes.
Just good cop out, spacenerd cop out.
But yes, they were goodepisodes.
Does that includemy Apollo 13 one?
Even though that show.
The death of PrincessDiana was a
I thought a good episode,but not a fun episode.
It is just such a sad story.
It is a sad story.
(48:39):
Yeah.
I mean, we got to put dolphinHouse in there now.
Dolphin House is is the worstepisode that's ever been made.
I rememberthe battle of the surfaces.
The rest of it was boring.
That one's better than dolphin.
I was no of the unfunnyone off the
dolphin house.
Dolphin House is the one where
if I say, hey,you want to listen to check,
(49:00):
it tellsyou should listen to it.
By the way, please avoidanything to do with dolphins.
Don't listen to that episode.
It's NASA's story, Sean.
Why do you not,
It's so bad.
Editing it and going,this is right on the line.
Is it not interesting?
No, no, it'sthe worst episode of life.
I. I like I like the trailers.
(49:22):
I liked Edgar Allan Poe got.
EdgarAllan Poe was a good episode.
Yeah.
I'm partial
to the doctor Pepper episode
because it was the firstcomplete out of the blue.
Yeah.
Brand like I let's justtalk about a history of a brand.
And because I wrote it in C,I genuinely wrote it in an hour.
I just the inspiration hitme and I didn't.
(49:43):
Martin had much on that andI just pulled my laptop aside.
Rachel, I wrote that in an hour
and then I wrote another episodethe same day, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, I think, I think we'vehit our favorites there.
Okay.
Dark horseAli was a real good one.
Aldi was. Probably.It was a good one.
Aldi was really good.
Yeah, that's a dark horse. Yeah.
(50:04):
When I found that
the kidnaping stuffon, I was like, I've got to.
I've got to say, I.
Think the episode title is like,
how does this storyhave a kid. Kidnaping?
Yeah, I really enjoyed, BettyRobertson's story.
This is the most unhinged titleI ever did.
So, hey, go.
Guaranteed weight loss scheme.
You can trust the historyof the guillotine.
(50:25):
I thought unsolicited bridgepicks was one of you.
Better, actually.Yeah, that's really good.
That's a great title, because.
I think we said thatin the episode, didn't we?
Sending you.
Bridge picks. Yeah, yeah.
Unsolicited bridge picks. Yeah.
I really enjoyed the learningabout Betty Robertson to,
did quiet the first
female track and fieldgold medalist.
(50:45):
Yeah.After that she a. Pilot as well.
Now she was in a plane crash.
That's it.
Missed one Olympicsand then won gold medal
after being in a plane crash.
And yeah, onerecord in the other.
I have just noticedthat Super League
has got more viewsthan I thought.
It's actually did. All right.
Yeah,I think Blake was a good on the.
Episode before the episodebefore got 42.
The episode after got 32Super Leagues, had 188 views.
(51:07):
What episodedo you not remember doing?
Oh, I didn't rememberJames Cook.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I didn't even have the scriptsaved.
I went, why is this gap herenow? Numbers. Right.
Oh, I've got a few thatit completely slipped my mind.
Yeah.
Because sometimes they were
late at nightand because if I wasn't one
where I had to talk much,I was just like.
Oh, hewas napping. I mean, we've
(51:29):
shirtless.
Jay-Z can confirm how many timesI yawn during episodes.
He's got a count.He's got a count of going.
I remember having the idea
for the Anglo things about war.
Yeah,I don't agree on it, though.
I do remember that one.It was a really short war.
The idea was like,do the episode in time?
(51:50):
Yes. Yeah.
I'm just tryingremember the other one that I.
Or Isaac Newton's nemesis?
Two sides of the same coin.
I don't remember doing thatepisode.
You don't remember that one? No.
I, I'm looking at them and go,I should remember that.
And I'm like,I can't remember at all.
Okay.
That's one I really don'tremember at all is the,
bell gunners,the Indiana Argus? Yep.
(52:11):
I don't remember the bell,which either.
That was your. First.I know. He's spectacular.
Yeah, I don't remember it.
Elmer McCurdy.
I didn't really rememberthat one.
Yeah, I remember that one
because I found that onefunny. Was he
was that the one where his bodywas like taxidermy then.
His body was actually shippedaround.
Ended up in a, yeah, fun housetype of thing.
Yeah.
Let's have a special shout out
to the history of Valentine'sDay episode from 2024.
(52:35):
We had Christine Brennan. Updateon that one. I'm married now.
Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah.
I never knew that.
Well, shout outto that mini episode that I knew
people at Erin'swedding was involved.
In was the bit where we offed
Bree,where Rome was in the episode.
Was that. Afterwards?I don't remember.
I think that was in the episode.
I'm like, I agree with Rome.And she's like.
Oh, oh.
(52:58):
What other ones havewe got here?
Oh, I'm saying some icky ones.
Yeah.
Ken. Rex McElroy was it? Yes.
Yeah, because he was such a craphuman.
What's an interesting story?
It was a really good story,but he's crap.
Yes, I rememberbeing ended up in two places
at the end of that episode.
I remember being on the sideof the townspeople.
(53:19):
Yeah, but they killed someone,I guess.
Yeah. That was like.
That was an ethical episode.
Yeah. At the endwe all kind of left going.
It might.
Yeah. That one would do.
That's right.
At the end of the episode
we all took herheadphones off we went.
Oh that was heavy wasn't it.
Because it was, it was heavy.
I think I remember talking aboutdo we even release it.
(53:39):
Yeah.
Because it was a bit,it was a bit much.
There's been a few episodesas the impartial third listener,
but I've thought to myself,oh, that was tough.
That was a heavy one.
Yeah,
there's onethat there's one episode
that I've wantedto do the whole time.
I've even boughtbought a book for it.
But it's got a lot of really
(53:59):
questionable contentin what happened.
I can't even remember whatthe name of the ship is now.
Oh. Another ship one.
I've definitely got episodesthat I'm going to talk about
becauseI'm never going to do them
because I research them
and then they're in completelyuninteresting Batavia.
Oh that's right, that's.
Yeah. The Batavia.
You've been you've been talkingabout that. For a long time.
(54:21):
That was one of the first thingsI've wanted to do an episode.
Yeah.
Growing upI've always been fascinated
with the story
of the firstsummoning of Mount Everest,
but it's actually really notvery interesting.
It's all numbersand times and altitudes
and the fact that it'sless dramatic.
There was multipleteams at once.
This is a mini episode.
Basically, there'smultiple teams at once going up.
So when I was tryingto research it, I'm like,
(54:44):
man, this is this dull.
This is really dull.
Like it's actually
because like,
I had like an abridgedI must have had like an abridged
children's version of the story,
which would not be goodas an episode
because it's takingtoo many artistic liberties.
But as a children's book,it was great.
I was like, this is so dull,I couldn't do it.
I'm working on a boatone at the moment.
Technically,technically a boat one.
(55:05):
That brings up a good question.
Do you have an episode ideathat you've wanted to do
but haven't?
Because maybe you haven'treally done the Britannica yet.
Batavia you haven't.
Britannic is also another one.
We did the Britannic.Yeah. Cover the Britannic.
Well, there you go.That's one I don't remember.
You want to do that one.
Yeah.
I think people always talk to meabout the EMU War.
(55:27):
And I know that's kind of.
Why. I think I vetoed that,because it's
all because too much ofit is complete crap.
Like, it's it would be reallyinteresting, but it's so like,
yeah, there's only like thismuch of it's actually true.
The rest of it was yeah, yeah,
it would be really cool.
And it's it, it is somethingthat people bring up, actually.
(55:48):
People ask us, oh, you should doan episode on the Army War.
It's all it's satire.
It's a shame because it'svery funny.
Well, do the episode and tell uswhat really happened.
Yeah. Compare it to the satirethat we.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well,I think it's time to wrap up.
We've had an hour.
We've had an. Hour reportingtime. Yeah.
I just wanted to say a bigthank you to everyone
(56:10):
that has ever listenedto the show.
Or watched it,shared it with friends.
Encouraged us to do episodes.
It it started off as a jasmine.
Yeah.
Oh, there.
Go. What?
As we wrap up, tell us.
Know. Tell us. Why.
Let me start again.
What was
what was the story that madeyou want to do this podcast?
It was blowing fast.
(56:31):
It was that one.
The first one we did, I.
Heard I heard Balloon Fest
and like,maybe like city Quiet pills.
I heard those two stories,but Balloon Fest was one
that I was like,yeah, we could do this.
Like, I need to tell Johnabout this story. Okay.
And that was yeah,that was the one.
And then of coursebattle of the services,
my favorite story ever.
Top five.
(56:53):
But accordingto the audience, I.
Remember
I remember having the thoughtabout doing this podcast
while I was in the shower.
Yeah.
And like, I got out of theshower still just dripping wet.
Texted do.
Yeah, yeah. And then I thinkyou even said that in the text.
I'm dripping wet.
I'm literallysopping wet right now. Yeah.
Wrap it up.
Yeah. Thank you.
(57:15):
Is what I was trying to saybefore John interrupted me.
Thank you to everyone that'slistened, shared, encouraged.
We started this as a
an opportunityfor us to have some fun.
And for me to use a degreethat I've never used otherwise.
And we've spent 100 episodesof a nearly four years,
every fortnight in rehearsals.
Roughly 100 hourstaking each episode hour.
(57:37):
Yeah. So, Thank you.
It's been a lot of fun for us.
And it's been fun to, to hearpeople say that they enjoy it.
And we're looking forwardto doing a lot more.
Yeah. I also want to echo that.
Thank you.
What's the statistic?
Most podcasts don't get pastepisode three.
This is episode 100.
We probably got more episode
listeners right now,but that's all good.
(57:58):
We'll continue to do itbecause we enjoy doing it.
And we want to continue
bringing storiesfrom human history to your ears.
Similar to whatJohn said about statistics.
I say that
to measure the success, you'vegot to get through 20 episodes.
I reckon it'slike they file off to three.
But success kicks in after 20.
Joke's on you guys.
(58:19):
There's no cost,
so we just gotta keep making itlike, sorry, guys.
The only thing that'sdisadvantages is our time
and a little bit of servermaintenance sort of stuff.
So tough titties to everyonethat think tough titties.
Everyonethat thinks he's gonna die.
He's got this really heartfeltmessage.
Thank you.You're just, like, tough.
Yeah.
We're not going.
Away when I seriously,
(58:40):
when I tell people like,yeah, we're up to 100 episodes,
I like what I said.
Yeah, there'sno there's no cost. Yeah.
We just got to have some funand. Just get to have fun. Yeah.
