So I just left the money on the bedside table
and legged it in the end. Hello, you're watching Chewing
the Cud, your lighthearted weekly look at the world through
a glittery the Kaleidoscope. I'm River Scott and back with
me this week, mostly because he thinks we're paying him.
It's the lovely Mickey Taylor. Hello, Mickey, how are you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh good? How are you?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm very well. It's lovely to see you again. Thanks
for coming back after last time.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
So many weeks and so long.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've missed you so much.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's like we live on the same road.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I know, the most showbiz road in all of wherever
we live.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, yeah, don't give it away.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Secret. Yeah, we live in a secure look at an
undisclosed compound that they need to be there anyway. What
have you got for us this week? NICKI?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Okay, So I'm bringing you a story about coming out,
and then we are going to play a game.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
How exciting, and then we'll be solving clues in Treasure Trail.
But on screen now you can see our contact details.
It's at the Cud TV on all of the social
media's and if you want to catch up on previous episodes,
you just search Chewing the Could on the YouTube's.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, you can see the names of people who have
reached out and touched our souls going along the bottom
of the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
But now it's time for River in the Buzz.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
All right, So my first story for you this week.
How often do you need to have sex to not
be depressed?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
H Once a week minimum, is it right?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I mean got to be at this point. I'm just
happy to be involved and it's not really a quota
thing for me being in the room. Yeah, it's just
nice that someone wants.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I sit in the corner with some snacks. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Apparently, like saying things like oh this is fun is
not really what people think of as dirty talk. I'm
doing it wrong.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, don't you get like serotonin and orphins of it?
So obviously you need those for your depression.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Don't you never met the girl anyway? According to a
study involving nearly fifteen thousand US adults aged between twenty
and fifty nine, the link between frequency, the link of
frequency of sex and depression is a real thing, or
might be. There's certainly something there.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, it makes sense because I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
They say that, like loads of gen z are really depressed,
and it's because they're like the least the lowest like
sexually libidoed of all of us.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I thought they were more depressed because the world's on
fire and none of them are going to ever be
able to get real jobs or retire or own a
house or anything.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
And also none of them drink either.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
None of them, which is weird. You think with that
kind of shit going on, you'd be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
They find that most people, like the mean average like
young age of people drinking now is like twenty five
up because people youngins aren't drinking.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
So what I'm hearing is we should alway shagging teenagers
just to cheer them up. Moving up, anyway, back to this,
Apparently weekly sexual activity shows a twenty four percent in
depression odds Okay, So yeah, like up to a quarter
of the people who had sex once a week were
less depressed.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
But sex they're atonin.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah. Yeah, Apparently optimal frequency because everyone loves a spreadsheets
or in sex is between fifty two and one hundred
and three times a year, So that's one, not once
or twice a week. Okay, which is all right. Yeah,
that gives me time to recharge and you know, change
the sheets.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah yeah again, warm.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Up, stretch out a bit, yeah, all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I mean that sounds about right, like good, I think, like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
There is a note here actually that says there's no
additional benefits observed if you're doing it more than twice
a week, so that's just on your own time and
it's just greedy. Yeah, that's like why, I mean, why
else would you have sex if not for the antidepress
of qualities?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Like who, I mean, that's all we have done it for,
not for the pleasure?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Pleasure anyways, should we crash onto the next not at
all related, but maybe slightly possibly of course. One Nearly
three hundred sex toys left on London busses, tube and taxis.
That's a busy day, that is where I left them.
Yeah that bag for they weren't even in a bag
where you were just dragging them, just carrying.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Them, dragging them from somewhere.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah. Well this is between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty
four so I was in London for most of those years.
Nearly three hundred sex toys were found on London's public transport,
including the busses, the tube, the taxis and in all
the major train stations.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Like okay, so are they like falling out of bags.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Or I wonder where you were what you were going
to say? Then? Yeah, yeah they are? They are they clean?
Are they ready?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Are they are they nex toy? Is it like a
cucumber that's falling out of a Tesco bag?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Are they going a goop sex toy?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I mean, when when money is tight, one must do
what one must?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Are they saying they are closed peg and go set toy?
All right?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah? I had to think about that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean that's true. Like I I, I don't know.
Let's see, let's see most of them. Oh, would you
like to guess which tube line found had the most
on it? I don't. I can't give you any like
clues on this and.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
The vauxall one because that's all the gays go, oh yeah,
that's the plugs down there, isn't there?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Apparently it was the circle line which goes that's kind
of funny, yeah, which just goes round and round the circles.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
The hooped line all night.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Of the three hundred found, only forty were claimed by
their owners. Well it has owners. I don't know how
they'd say.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Why are you going back and claiming it?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
But then thinking about it, there's like three undred, there's
three hundred. There's two hundred and sixty of them in
a box. Excuse me as my sex. So I've been
handed in and they go is it one of these?
And you go, no, have you got any more? You
just flick through one, yeah, yeah, run it through the
dishwasher a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
You'd be fine.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
I mean I get that, like some sex toys are
really expensive, like you get those remote controlled love eggs
and stuff, but like that is nah, I wouldn't be
going back. That's a level of shame I didn't know existed.
Or you could put on yourself or maybe that's part
of it.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Maybe that's part.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Maybe that's the kink.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I mean that is where I get all my underwear from.
I nick it off the off the hot guys when
they're in the showers in the gym. You rot ski,
oh no, it's good, and wants the flavor starts to
go up them in the washer and then I can
mind them. Jobs are good.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Anyway, this story apparently one one device is what it
says here was even handed in at the London Transport Museum,
which is interesting, like did they did they find it
on one of the on one of the museum pieces.
Was it just lost under under a chair on an
old Victorian horse drawn bus?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Or I instantly saw like a butt plug with wheels
a butt plug?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Why would you take it?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
The transport is around on it.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, like little scoot scoop like skateboard. Yeah, Mario car.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh wow, good lord. Apparently after three months, so wedn't
have done any of that anyway, because after three months
unclaimed items, what do you think they do with them?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
They've got to be melting them down or recycling them.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Send them off to Madame two Swords to become the
next version.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Of Memil, Give them to the homeless, make them happy.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Apparently, after after three months, all unclaimed items are auctioned
or donated to charity. So you were not wrong.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh I hate being right. That's so bad.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
And it's to offset operational costs, which I thought was
the point of the ridiculously expensive.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
I love the idea for the operational cost of a dildo.
I love that. That's so great.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But yeah, they are they are auctioned on donated, auctioned
or donated, presumably the ones that get donated the ones
no one wants to pay for.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Fair.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I like the idea of it, not like going to
a good home like a stray dog, like take it
to a new owner.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, and I suppose if it was like still in
the box and the box was sealed, so it was
like someone who bought it prowler.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
And left it on the trailer, then that makes more sense.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, you could, you could. You could bid for one
of them, and it would just be like getting cheaper one,
but it'd still be just as clean and new because
it was still in the wrapper as it were.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Could you imagine if you've got one of the repurposed
ones and you get pregnant.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I mean I've I've never got pregnant. I keep trying,
but no one not just not yet. And on that note,
if you want to share something with us, whatever, you
can tag us. We are at the could TV on
all of your socials. And now story three, okay you're ready.
M A couple have been caught having sex on a

(08:35):
on a gravestone in Oh good lord, in Florida.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Now this could be for different reasons. This could be
a ritual, that's true. It could be that they were
in a freeway and the partner died and they just
wanted to get them involved again.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
The police discovered them while taking a K nine unit
break which means the dog needed a WII. Oh right,
and their car was parked outside the locked cemetery gates.
The officer observed the couple engaged in sexual activity on
top of grave number forty three.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
It gives a whole new reference to the song Friller,
doesn't it really?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh yeah, that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
But it was legs this time, legs up in the air.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
The good lord, and you'll be you'll be shocked to
hear that they found meth in their car as well.
Looking at them, you wouldn't think it, would you. Oh
and also prescription xanax and oxy codone.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
What a night?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah? And oh the car was registered to the woman's husband,
who is not the gentleman the dead one. Oh, I
hadn't thought that.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I told you it was a freeway.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Wouldn't that be nice? Like after after I die, I
want you to move on, but I want you to
come on my grave, dead body.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
What hope they were doing it? To abracadabra.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
It's fun occasionally to take it outside, don't you think,
as George Michael would say, like it's part of our culture.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Like I'm I'm not here to yuck anyone, yam, So
I mean, go for it. But if you're not hurting anyone,
I mean they're already.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Dead, I don't. I mean, yeah, I'm alright with doing
it outside. I don't know if I do it in
a graveyard, just because I think it will creep me
out a little bit more than any kind of respect
for dead people because they're dead, they don't care. But
like up against a tree and stuff like that, Yeah,
why not? You need someone to hang on too, So
I suppose the headsperons are good for that kind of thing.
You need something to brace yourself.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Again, I have so many conflicting thoughts about this. I
don't know what to say.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm like, well, you're not hurting anyone, but you are
dishonoring a grave.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
But then the person in it doesn't care because they're dead.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
So it's like, you're not hurting anyone. Yeah, go for it,
just do it? Why not?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah? Why not? It's all good fun, everyone's having a
good time. Why not And that's all from the buzz
this week.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Thanks River, Thank you for illuminating and educating me there
at the end.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
You are more than welcome. I've got so many stories.
Just wait for the next commercial break and stay right there.
As coming up after We've had a little explanation of
what I've been up to in public, We're doing the
celebrity news in Showbiz. Welcome back. You are watching Chewing

(11:26):
the Cood. This is the part of the show where
we look into the sparkly and glamorous world of celebrity
and media in the showbiz with Mickey, our very own
sparkly and glamorous person.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
So the first bit I've got from you is, do
you know who Lux Pascal is?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, next, no, So Lux Pascal is the sister of
Petro Pascal.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Do you know that is?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yes, he was the guy with the book on his head.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Game of Thrones, Mandalorian and mister Fantastic.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, my mum really found him and Mandalorian until he
took his helmet off, which says stuff about my mum
that I don't need to know. She didn't fancy him
when she could see his face.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Fun fact for you.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
You get your kinks from your mother's side anyway. So
Lut's Pascal stars in the Spanish language drama Miss Carbon.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
She's going to.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
She's wearing a very transpride Transpride jumper there. That's quite a.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh yeah blue, I mean white? Oh my god, how
did I get that wrong? I'm going blind me. So
the film portrays Carlita, the first female at My Night,
in a region of Argentina where women were traditionally forbidden
from working in mines.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Why would you want to work in the mine?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
But money? They make so fun fat few.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
My uncle and my cousin work in the Australian mines
and they do one week on, one week off, and
they have got so much money, like it's disgusting. But
they've both just bought plots of land to have in
their houses, just built from scratch that Honestly, there's more
money than sense in some of the mining in Australia.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like they do also have a lot of space, so
you can you can build a big buy a big
plot of land for next to nothing.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
True, I mean like it used to be a lot
more extortionate.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
I mean obviously we had the minor strike here and
then the gaze all rallied around that, but which was fun.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I always like that bit of history.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Actually, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
So it's directed by Augustina Marchi. The story is based
on the real life experiences of Carla Rodriguez, a transgender
woman who challenged ginger norms and workplace discrimination.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
So she is trans.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, well, Pedro has come out a lot of times
recently wearing like the Protect the Dolls T shirt, and
he's always vocal online about immigration and.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Trans rites because obviously his sister is trans.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
So his sister actually trans playing woman. She looks quite
a lot like Anne Hathaway there as well.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's very pretty she is, so yeah, he's been a
very very big supporter of her, and honestly like, good
on them. And I actually think this sounds quite good.
I like a good like historical pick. I don't care,
but oh no, I love a good history flick.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I love them so good.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
It showcases the importance of representation and media with a
transactress portraying at trans character.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Which is nice. Makes a nice change, don't it.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yes, And anything's got to be better than that movie
that came out.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
On Netflix recently.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You'll have to narrow it Emilia Perez. We shan't go
into it because we'll be here all day.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
But it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm it and won't we'll keep away, but no.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I think it sounds very very good. So the next
piece I have for you? Are you ready? Are you
all a tither? I hang on now you're tithered?

Speaker 2 (14:48):
My tits are good and did so Callum Scott?

Speaker 3 (14:50):
You know who that is?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Nam Ings Belle, you're doing well here.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Two for two, British singer songwriter Callum Scott revealed that
he was a band buy some friends after coming out
as gay.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Abandoned by friends and they went like we don't want
to be in this bar with you, or like they
just never spoke to him again because I think they.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Just abandoned him more because he doesn't add agreements be properly.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I mean, you're gay, Like if you came out as gay,
you had that beard.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
They're like noy not and just the hair as well,
like do something with it, man, come on, or maybe.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's new gay. Okay them gay?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
He needs to do a fac Melian with him.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Found a TONI and guy apparently he's been out for
a while.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, Well, then there's no fair enough, we apologize, Calim
were only teasing.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I don't get apologized together.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
So recently, he had his experience to highlight the challenges
faced by LGBTQ plus people's in so essentially, he was
trying to shed the light on some personal trolling and
coming out about the potential loss of social connections.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, but why would you want to hang out with
straight people anyway? I'm so boring.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
They've all got kids. Well I want to do is
talk about their kids. They won't let you touch their penis,
and they're do when they're drunk. Yeah, but no, I
mean I get it. I get what you're saying, and
like it's something that you should address, Like, yeah, it
just I always think I always worry when people talk
about things like this because it's just like, don't go

(16:21):
too deep and too personal, because I don't feel like
the world needs to know the ins and outs of
your life. But obviously, to an extent, it's also very helpful. Yeah,
So I think he's like delivered the right.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Amount of information.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
It's not like sharing personal stories about one friend that
did him wrong or something. It's more like just friends,
stop talking to me.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'd like to hear some stories about him getting did
but that's another No.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
You wait for the book to come out and sell it.
You make money off it.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I mean, like if your mates, your mates should
be your mate, shouldn't they like, don't hang out with
you because you're gay. That seems disappointing. Find a better
reason to not hang out with someone. There's plenty of them. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I mean it's always important to like find acceptance and stuff.
So I mean, good on him to talking about it.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, and he's got better friends now because gay friends friends.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Are you ready for my last story?

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I suppose all good things should it must end eventually?
Please hit me?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
So Live Shreiblood, do you know this one? Or is
this going to be free?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I heard that name. Could not pick them out of
a lineup. I was guessing she was the one on
the left, all right, you know the dad? No, mister Shrever.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
He played Sabertooth in X Men with ut I didn't
watch the Wolverine Origin.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
One rubbiship media.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Okay, So Live Shriver spoke about his daughter Kai's journey
on Coming Live.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Is the dude on the right then?

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah? So it's all it's all trans news today. I
quite like it.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
So they've been coming out recently and just kind of
in full support of their daughter and just saying like,
that's nice you find out I'm not treating my daughter disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
And his doughter looks really happy to be there, doesn't she.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's like to stop talking about me.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
So he said that he expressed that the transition didn't
feel like a big deal to him and emphasized the
importance of acceptance and support.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
But of course weren't a big deal for him. Anyone
doing a surtary chickenbugger, but it's only a little deal
for you. But no, I think good on him.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Like, there's actually quite a lot of like celebrities all
coming out and support like their trans daughters, trans brothers
and sisters as and like it's actually been quite refreshing.
I think because of the political climate in Americas, a
lot of it's mainly Americans.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I think it's quite good at the moment.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Because you've got a kind if you've got people that
are like the pinnacle of social climaxing.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
We're outside again social climaxing, but.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Like having people like that, it's quite important. It's like
the lady from What's Her name, Sex and the City.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yes, the lesbian one, Cynthia Nixon.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, they've just been talking about their trans child as well.
So like I think there's like almost like a mecha
of speaking out at the moment, which is quite nice.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, I mean it's it's nice and it's kind of
contra to how like the government and all of that's
going over there as well and over here a bit
as well. It's all a bit disappointing. So it's nice
when we get stories like this. It's joyous stories. That's
what we want.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
It is.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
It's nice.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Joyous is out and queer and being supported by her
dad who's got very twinkling eyes. It's quite just just
speaking a look uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
It's that like rugged heart in it.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean he's not really might you can have him?
I'll let you. Yeah, he's all yours.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
He doesn't have to remember my name. So yeah, I
think it's a really nice point. I think it's just
keep doing it, keep pushing forward, Like I'm not.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Back to everyone though, don't you keeping forward? Pushing forward?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But no, it's like you're seeing them protect the Dolls
T shirt at the moment and whenever you buy one
they're seventy five pounds and it all goes like trans
right at the moment, I've pre ordered when actually funny enough,
I shall get on that on Payday. It's something that
I feel like it was lesser than years prior, and
it's really getting heavy at the moment, and I think

(20:14):
it's so necessary, especially with the way that they're treating
them in America at the moment. And obviously we've just
had the law change here regarding women, which is stupid.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
As someone who is like non Binari, non French.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
How do you nono is the Australian, how do you feel.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
In like almost like the middle of the spectrums in
a way.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm not in them.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
That's very bad what I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Girls, you got me in the middle, which wouldn't be
the first time my birthday, but now well I'm a
I'm a non of the above, thank you, kind of
non binary, not between the two, but somewhere else entirely
doing my own thing. How do I feel about what.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
All of the outspts?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
I can speak on it as like a pan sexual person,
but it's not as prowned upon right now hours say
like non binary trans like yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's it's it's it's a pain, but you know, frowning
on it doesn't change anything. You might as well just
they might as well just accept it, like what nice, proper,
good decent human beings and yourself.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I think we just have to like push back in
the smartest way possible, but also like in a very
tactile w like not like the aggressive protesting and things
like this, Like there's no need for any of.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Us to get violent with them.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
That's what they do want. I think we should get vialent.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
We should just be.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Removing them from our prides like we have done and
things like this, like we find very clever, tactile ways
to kind of give them an f you and then
kind of push back.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
So I like the movement at the moment. It's good.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
No, I want to blow it up. I want to
I want to like see some blood. I'm all about
that shit.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I'm more likely to have seen it if it's a thing. Yes,
it's true.

Speaker 3 (29:49):

Speaker 2 (29:54):

Speaker 2 (30:16):
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry, Okay, I this is that

(30:47):
one of them songs that you play around your house
a lot. I've heard it several times and I like it,
and it's gonna bug me because I can't remember what
it's called. Who is by So? But yeah, it's that
one What you play.

Speaker 3 (31:01):

Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's it. Yeah, it's the girl kicking the cake a
part in the in her living room or the Yeah,

I knew it. I just didn't know what it's called.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, I ran on them.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's another one, what you play a Lot? But that's
all I've got. I don't know the names. And usually
when they're on I'm like chatting to you over the
top of them and not listening to them properly. So
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
We I literally just tried to do a couple of
songs that were like near to the twenty twenties, and
you've had a gay panic.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
It was Expresso Both Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, yeah, should we go back to an easier one
for you? All right?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Please? Yeah? That's an easy one, is it? Yeah, now
you've lost me.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I'm blue dud dubbade.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I didn't get that at all, how do you? Okay,
that's enough for now. Coming up after this short break,
we get to some sleuthin in Treasure Trail. Welcome back.

(32:35):
You are still watching River and Mickey, and why wouldn't you?
We are a delight. This is chewing the could and
now we're going to explore a city using our human
puppet in Treasure Trail.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
So you said human puppet, it's actually Mike, Benny and Rowe. Hello, Mike,
can you hear hello?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Studio?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Can you hear me? Yeah, hello, darling, I can hear
loud and clear, which is good.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
I am here in Istanbul. It twas Constantinople. I've been
making that joke a lot. So i am here in Istanbul.
You've got a list of things for me to discover.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
What am I doing? First?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Oh? That was very business like. Okay, Mike, here's your
first clue. It was a gift from a kaiser domed
in green where sultan's strolled and sights are seen.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Okay, on that, I'm just gonna prep I'm gonna take
another hoodie with me, just in case.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
This one's a bit of bit thin. Whether it's bitten
not sure.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
So I've got my camera, I've got my microphone, I've
got my little backpack. I've got my bottle of water
as well, So let's keep going. I've not made house keeping.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
This from dirty animal.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Okay. So a gift from a sultan where sights are seen,
it sounds it sounds posh, it sounds high up. Yeah,
you want to be seen.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
You want to be quite high, or.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
It'd be like you know when you go like appear
and you get the glasses thing.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
So from far away, something quite big. It's gonna be ostentatious,
isn't it. Like a gift from a sultan, you expect
it to be showy.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
I'm not ah, yes, wait, it's got to be the fountain.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Isn't It could be which the fountain? There is probably
quite a few German apparently German SATs where the next
four place.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
So your clue is a sugar dusted chewy square and
it is a sweet from Istanbul beyond compare.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
That is durable, that is doable.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Let's go sound love there. I mean a sugar dusted
chewy square.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
So it's not a jelly baby. They're dusted too, but.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
They're not square. Nople fruits are square, sorry, star burst,
what do you the gift from Istanbul?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
But not Constantinople? So I did make the joke, damn it.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I would die intimate that joke as well. But yeah,
so this one seems pretty straightforward. Is it in fact?
Some Turkish delight? And that's the recess though, see I meet,
I'm going to win, do you yes? Please?

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:31):
It's okay, smoky, spiced and wrapped with care, a meal
on wheels found everywhere. Okay, see, I like the classic
stuff for me. I don't want to know when it's

(35:51):
too When it's too like that, I'm you're ever doing it.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
It doesn't like I like my stuff fancy sometimes because
I'm common as.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Mac is goodly, classy, good your moments through the magic
of television. I've got some right here in my little,
my little hole. So okay, would you like would you
like a nibble? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
It would be a bad day for an allergy, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I don't know what's in them other than various nuts.
But you're used to a mouthful of various nuts, babes.
Yet I didn't hear a no.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
That show really good, but with about the middle bit
that it's more not nowga like a perrero now gar.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
I've never had Turkish before.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
This is a bit.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
It's like chewy and crunch at the same time. I
prefer one or the other.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
I think, no, no, no, need to be over stimulated.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Even your food is ADHD compliant.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
Absolutely okay, I'm.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Gonna eat my thing. You you you you think? Where
do you think he's going.

Speaker 3 (37:00):

Yes, of course, I mean we've had have you got?
We haven't got kebabs?

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Not going to rapped smoky?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
That does sound good many in my charm. I mean
I've checked little cupboard and there's no kebabs in there. Ah.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yes, the answer the question, so steam and stone in
a sacred hall where stress and soap together a fall.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Mm. That one sounds a little bit familiar, you know,
steam and stone like and get getting going somewhere, steaming
and getting de stressed. That sounds like one of those
gentlemen's facilities that we hear so much about. Of course
we've never been to, but we are aware of them,
of course.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Would you agree? Yeah, i'd so, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
I have answered to the next clue, which is I'm
going to go in.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Next? I'm true. You can probably get a cup of tea.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Shall have to rang on a minute, Mike. I've still
got a mouth full of Turkish to light. I can
do it all right.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
A church and mosque in layers, grand faith in history
hand in hand.

Speaker 2 (38:35):

So next thing, give me some petals, spice and rain
captured in a glass to This feels almost like we're
casting spells, you know. Okay, so let me let me
do that again because I want to do it with
like a bit more of a witchy vibe to it.

(39:23):
M scents of petals, spice and rain captured in a
glass to Maine. No, no, I went a bit to
a camp, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Well that's got to be a cologne or a perfume,
