Well this episode is a ton of fun. We are joined by longtime friend of the Fam, Stand Up Comic and Dutch Uncle Dale Hilton. He requested we cover a topic called the Whisky Wars and it is a doozy. In 1973 Canada and Denmark were unable to agree as to which country owned the kidney-shaped nothing of an island called Hans Island. With neither side willing to set aside their claim to the island, this led to an interesting 'conflict' of a sort. Over the next several years, the countries would take turns visiting the island leaving their flag, a bottle of liquor and a sign. They went back and forth leaving liquor and flags in a passive agressive conflict that only ended when the nations divided the island down the middle. We also talk about times we (the adults, Arthur listens patiently) got drunk and what we used to get drunk on in the days before the interwebs. So join us for this ever so slightly not quite PG-13 episode of fun and frolic from the Family Plot Podcast!

Speaker 2 (01:03):
The creepy uncle that we don't tell you about.

you sneak out of the house and you get arrested
and you need to get bailed out of jail, but
you don't want to let your mom and dad know
you call me.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
That is exactly right, because whenever they leave the house,
they're told that if they get arrested, they're in trouble
because mom can't afford bail money.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
I don't think we need a noise there.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna put machine gun fire because it sounds
appropriate for Dale. He'll think it's he'll think it's.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Bad tappy holidays.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Whoa, Oh night, you have to beat yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It won't be the first time. Weirdly, honey, what are
we talking about tonight? Well, in nineteen seventy three, Canada
and Denmark we're working out a sea border in the
Nares Strait. The one place they couldn't determine was Hans Island.
(05:08):
Both countries felt that it clearly belonged to them. Thus
began a series of events and a good natured and
humorous encounter between two countries that bordered on good taste
and being amusing, but never even for a moment spiraled
into violence. So come with us. Back to nineteen seventy three.
(05:28):
In this alcohol heavy Dale Hilton requested and guested episodes
of the Family Plot podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I think it's important to also note that something else.
In nineteen seventy three, I was still four years from
being on this earth, living, bringing human.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Just so we're clear, and Dale and I were both
alive when this happened.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, I know, that's what I'm saying. Y'all be old.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
We're old, but we're more. We're just old. I believe
I was. This happened in nineteen seventy three. I was
three years old then.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, yeah, I was five, So yeah, I wasn't born
until September of seventy seven, y'all.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And if I wasn't born, that means Arthur.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Wouldn't nowhere to be sy I'm with a bunch of
old people here two thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Platform, I'm with old people.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I was still in diapers when Michael Jackson passed.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow, well you are with old people, I am.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do you find that old people ask you the same question?
What great are you in? Are you doing? You like school? No?
That gout at either.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Well Anyway, let's let's let's uh to take a brief
break here because I want to touch on something that
Dale wants it said when I'm recording when he said
it or not, but he'd said that, Uh, he was
the sort of friend that your kids call when they
get in trouble to bail them out of jail.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And I want to point out that he was also
the friend for most of my life that if you
were about to have a fight with someone, wasn't going
to tell you, oh, don't fight. He was going to
go and lock the door.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's a good, really a good friend to have.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, all right, and I meant every word of it too.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So let's talk about hans Hans Island or Hans Island.
I'm not sure if it's pronunciation or as it's known
in the native language of the Greenlandic people hard a pullock,
which literally means kidney shaped, Oh yummy. It's a small
(08:09):
island located in the Kennedy Channel of the net Ar Street.
It was so sad when the CIA assassinated that channel.
It has a total size of three hundred and twenty
acres or thereabouts, and just for purposes of comparison, out
of Manhattan is over fourteen thousand acres and Rhode Island
(08:33):
is over seven.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So in other words, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, yes, it'll yes small correct, Yes, yeah, it's very tiny.
It has no natural resources, although Native green people who
travel here to fish it is likely been part of
the Inuit hunting fishing grip since the fourteenth century. With
(09:03):
climate change the melting the Arctic waters, it may have
a potentially strategic importance in future shipping commerce. But literally
it has nothing of value. Wow, No trees, no rare minerals, nothing.
So if one was going to build a home on
the island, one would need to import literally everything to
(09:25):
build said home. And since there is no fresh water
on the island as well, you're going to be importing that. Also. Also,
if you want power, you're going to have to build
your own power plant. We're talking about an island with
a whole lot of nothing. It is also the smallest
of the three islands of what is called the Washington
Land Coast. The other two islands are Franklin Island and
(09:49):
Crosier Island.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Okay, just just to give us a frame of resperance
on the size of three hundred and twenty acres anyone
who has been to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Disneyland
Park is five hundred acres, so almost twice. So that's
how small this island.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's how hyry this island was.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That is all that is a small island when you
stay a whole lot of nothing. It's kind of like
what's in Donald Trump's head.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Ah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That seems accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Actually, well, you want to take us into your corner
here while while we're hanging with our uncle Dale.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Yeah, here, ye here, you allow me to present Arthur's corner.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Hey yeah, absolutely all right. Everybody, Welcome to the corner.
My name is Arthur.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I am your.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Host of the corner. He's the corner host.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I'm the corner I'm the corner host.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Corner guys, Arthur, I'm here to tell you that I
am doing pretty good today.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Thank you very much. Moral welcome.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That is fabulous?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I thought that was Brian.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say that you might not be
completely straight. Well we walked.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Nobody's ever accused me of.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That, say, there's always been whispers.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, Keith, even dressing drags several times a week and
not on dates.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
So you do it more, you'd be gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
He is. He's absolutely di diver.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And I'm accurate because this breast is a little bigger
than that one.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yes, uncle, Dyl, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I am alive and not in jail?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
That is what we strive for you to take the
one hundred days straight.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Out?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Or did?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'm working on a personal record staying out of jail. Nah,
I haven't been in jail in decades. I'm so good.
How are you? So? Everybody else is doing good? That's
good to hear.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yes, yes, that is good to hear.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
My other answer is, well, I'm on this side of
the dirt.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that too.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
That's always a good call.
Speaker 2 (12:57):

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, okay, gotcha. Yes, I felt bad.
Speaker 4 (21:29):

to put up with him. You know, you know he's
a dick. I mean, he's a dick anyway. But anyway, anyway,
I don't know. That's not the subject for today. I
don't want to talk about politics.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
No, that's probably wise to avoid.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm sorry. We like Dale, we like having him on,
but he won't shut up.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
No, it was gonna be sure.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
There's a reason you're here.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, you're helping us the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Tell him how to make the sausage gear.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
It's okay, you have a class for this thought they learn.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, but if we give out all the secrets here,
then people won't go to the class and that helps,
you know, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Everybody's said it's a word?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Who thinks everybody spends time listening to our episodes of
us yapping for an.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I hope so I have ah, I thank you.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
After the egg hunt, after the egg hot, we uh
went back inside and everybody got cleaned up because.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They put vasiline on.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But it's the tide I stained through the vasiline, so
it dyed their skin.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
They look like purple people eaters.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Just a little bit. Did you say purple people eaters?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, how's that one eyed, one horn flying purple people
eater exactly?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I can't believe I remembered that.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
That's probably the first time Arthur's even ever heard that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
No heard that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh okay, I think there should be a death metal
version of it. Not because you're talking about eating people,
you know, so we like.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
And if not, we you know, we deserve some fealty
royalties off of off of whatever you make off of
that version.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And just put them on over I'm giving it all
to you guys.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Is that the Hawaiian cartoon? Okay, I actually saw that.

Probably the original. Yeah, the sequel just came out like
over the holidays.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, oh yeah it was the Are there two of them? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, right, Arthur is a bit ace if I understand
it correctly, and uh ace is a short short for
ace sexual Uh, they don't necessary the if you urge
to calculate to feel close to someone. You one who
(27:36):
used the analogy, Dale, Ah, I'm the one who used
the analogy.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, Well I was certainly thinking it. Well, how do
you how do you explain how far you got without
pissing somebody off? I guess you just don't.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, now.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Kissing twenty twenty five, Dale, myself.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Kissing and telling is out. Dale, If you didn't catch it,
kissing and telling is out.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Okay, thanks for lifting up the rock and letting me out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're so you got to cuddle? Yes, you got to
be part of a cuddle puddle.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
They just they hung out like friends.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Cool. Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Cuddle puddle arthur Is is a term for where a
group of people are having a party and they're all
just lying on one another cuddle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's a cuddle puddle those I feel like that was
a term from the hippie hippie or maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I don't know. The first I heard about it was
in the Ace. They did a a The news always
had the look at this weird thing. It was a
video of a group that was promoting cuddle puddles. But yeah,
that I got to.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Cuddle my friend and then when we woke up in
the morning. Uh, I was just showing on my phone
for a little while playing a Bubble Shooter game because
that's fun. I've only been playing it for like four
days now and I'm already on level one hundred fifty something.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Appreciated I got. I I did pretty get it packed.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Man, edit that out, probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, wait what, I'll hear it tomorrow. Right now, it's
not making any sense in my head.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You did, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
The puddle. What happened after that?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And you were playing you were playing your bubble shooter?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah, and then we went out for a walk after
after I got to cuddle with my friend Moore in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And my legs went numb on the walk.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That was. That was like, wow, that's scary.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That was later in the day. My legs went completely
completely numb and my friends had to help me get
the rest of the way back.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Because I was, uh dehydrated.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, because Arthur wasn't listening to Arthur's own body like
we do.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I drank water when I got there.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, that's not supposed to be the only water you drink.
I'm just saying I don't even drink water, and I
know that.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
What you get to drink no water, but I can't.
But we got Arthur home. We got Arthur hydrated. Arthur
feels much better.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, I suppose I should in this corner.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
If you've got other stuff to talk about, talk about it, baby.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I just I try to keep I know this was deviating.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Should you know this. This isn't gonna help any But
when you said that your legs went numb, a scene
from an old movie, well, now old movie popped into
my head and I immediately wanted to go scamp. I
can't fill my legs, scamp, that's my leg Oh okay,
(31:35):
we're just re referenced to Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor
and Jean Wilder back in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ago.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yes, you made me think of that when you said
your legs went numb. I thought of an old movie,
and I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Hey, any movie from Wilder is good Bye.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Me by Wilder and prob Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, Wilder by himself is always a good watch for me. So, yeah,
the man was a great actor for what he did.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, yeah, he was good. But I think we're going
off topic here, where we need to find out the
ending or the not the ending. But how I guess
the legs got hydrated and you're feeling better. Okay, Yeah,
well I'm glad you're feeling better.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, I'm glad I'm feeling better too, or else I
wouldn't have been able to go to school.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Oh well, yeah, Dale wouldn't see that as a positive.
But then again, Dale spends got a lot of his
schooling at a place where someone got beaten out pretty
bad by a guy named Tiny because they put their
thumb in his mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah, let me tell the story every time Uncle Dale's
on the show.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Oh well, I won't talk about it.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well, I don't have a great time with school either,
but it keeps them from being arrested, so yeah, that's
always a good thing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's a good that's a good plan.
That's a good plan. I'm not gonna go rob the bank.
I'm gonna go new math, new male.
Speaker 12 (33:30):
Yeah that's about it, all right, Well you want to
take this next bit for us, buddy?
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
But what who me?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Section?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
In nineteen seventy three, Canada and Mark were drawing up
a simple treaty defining their borders within the Nares Strait.
The only one thing they could not agree on was
who Hans Island belonged to. The Canadians claimed it was
(34:21):
our island because they had purchased the holdings of Hudson
of the Hudson Hudson Bay Company in eighteen eighty. At
that point, the Hudson Bay Company was a trading company
(34:43):
with exclusive rights to certain areas regarding the trading of goods. Thus,
they mostly traded pelts, furs, food like fish and deer,
as well as items crafted by indigenous people. They sold
much of their land holdings to the Emerging of the
(35:07):
Emerging Nation Emerging Nation of Canada and later became a
holding company and real estate company that exists to this day.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I thought the name, the name company name sounded familiar.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Long story short, Canada felt like they had purchased Hans
Islands and we're not going to give up. However, Denmark,
which controlled the Greenland, which controls Greenland, though it is
largely considered autonomous Okay autonomous Zone with the local indigenous
(35:53):
culture living in a way that benefits their culture and history,
argued that greenlandic Inuit people have included the island in
their hunting and fishing grounds for centuries, and they were
going to seed a place that was culturally.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
The local Inuits.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
The rest of the border was carved out with little
to no problem, but both Denmark and Canada had claimed
Ton's Island as their own.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So I want to point out here a couple of things. One,
thank you Arthur. But so this is right now basically
a land war. They're both saying I own it. Iron
In no countries do this. There is an escalation of
troops and violence. And having said that, now let's have
(36:55):
a moment for a word with our guest, mister Hilton. Oh,
mister health.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Hen yes you Ryan, So what are you up to?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
What's going on in the world of Hilton's. What would
you like to promote?
Speaker 3 (37:18):
H m uh, I'd like to promote this show that
we're on right now, because yeah, I think it's uh
very It is an educational show. I'm not kidding around,
you know, so you can learn a few things that
(37:41):
you don't get to really learn about, and you know,
learn about obscure things.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That's like yeah, yeah, and I and I have fun,
you know, I've been on here what twice now? And
this this is fun? And I watched I watched one
other one, but it was a long time ago. Don't
quiz me. But anyway, anything else that I want to promote,
(38:08):
Let's see. I I retired from comedy for about a week.
I have a gig, possible gig coming up that's supposed
to be well paying in June, but I don't have
the information on that, so I'm not gonna pimp that.
But other than that, do I want to I'm doing
(38:30):
all right. I got scored some insurance so I can
take care of some health problems. And what else is
going on with me? I am single and looking for
a cuddle puddle? Ah, and I guess I did.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Yeah, that's what we hear. You're big in the Philippines, Philippines.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I'm sorry, would you say I said, well, you are
in the Philippines.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yes, that's right to all my Philippines fans. I would
like to canichi wa. I hope that's the right thing.
I really like General's Chicken. I don't know how to
say the tea word, but the Philippines, I'd like to
go there and visit. Although I think a guy like
(39:26):
me going to the Philippines to visit. Is that probably
looks kind of creepy, So I'll bring some. I'm gonna
bring everybody from the show with me to the Philippines
when I have the money.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, I hope that answered the question.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely it did. Good sir. Do you want
to take this next little bit for us?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Yeah? Let me Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yes? Now we can hear you. You froze for a second.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I was trying to read the thing. Let me try
this one more time, all right, can you still hear me? Yeah? Okay,
here we go. Yeah, thank you, by the way.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
No problem.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
And now a word from our guest, Hi, I'm Dale Hilton.
The first shot is fired, or perhaps drank. In nineteen
eighty four, a group of Canadian soldiers, under cover of
night infiltrated the paradise that was Hans Island. They planted
a Canadian flag, left a bottle of Canadian whiskey, specifically
(40:47):
the brand Canadian Club, half buried in the soil, and
left a note half buried in the soil, and left
a note under the bottle that read simply Welcome to Canada.
The note was in both French and English as one
would expect. Why did they do it? What?
Speaker 2 (41:11):
How's that kind of book?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
It was a free booms in a flag. Why did
they do it? We don't know. It's possible that it
was ordered by Serge Joel, who was the Secretary of
State for Canada at the time, or it might have
(41:34):
been ordered by someone in his office. It is also
possible that the Canadian soldiers did it for a lark.
Whatever the case, the soldiers high fived, took some pictures
and left the island. The pictures appeared in some local
paper and somehow made their way to Denmark. Among wills
(41:54):
who saw the pictures was Tom Hoyman, the Danish Minister
of Greenland Affairs at the time. That's awesome, Yeah, absolutely,
and that just that just goes to show there's a
Craig Ferguson had a show and he he had a
(42:17):
joke and this show, this is proof of their actions
are proof of this joke. He said that Canadians are
some of the nicest people in the world until you
put a hockey stick in their hand.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I've heard that, but then again I hear that kind
of I just recently.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Acquired and appreciation for hockey because I read the Fleet
series by S. J. Tilley, who's one of my new
authors that I absolutely love that's based in hockey, So
I understand that that tends to be an overarching theme
that hockey players tend to be a little aggressive with
those sticks.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yeah, but these guys, these soldiers were nice. Him, don't
I don't have a Canadian act have a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Well, let's take a minute and hear from our fellow
content creators.
Speaker 13 (43:21):
It's all, do you love old time radio? Do you
know absolutely nothing about old time radio?

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Then you can just cut that out and then we
can pop back in, because now I'm going to take
the next session.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
YEA cool.
Speaker 16 (45:35):
So Tom, when he heard about this, he laughed, and
when he saw the pictures he sort of took them
as a moment of challenge.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Accepted as you do.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Tom, with a small complement of soldiers, went to Hans Island,
removed the Canadian flag, talk them out, and the whiskey,
because why would you leave good whiskey there. History does
not exactly record what happened to the whiskey, but it's
(46:10):
a good bet that the soldiers probably drink it later,
as you do as a soldier. And in its place
they lack the Danish flag, a bottle of cognac, and
a note that read simply to them, welcome to the
Danish Island. I want he wrote that in English and
(46:35):
French as well, just curiosity. I'm guessing history doesn't record
that either.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
No, okay, okay, not a problem.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Cuckoo, cuckoo.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Maybe maybe it's just not that's documented. We should send
a message to Brenda and see if she knows well.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Brenda would get that. Branda would get that the English
and French thing is specific Canada because of.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
I know, but what I'm thinking is like one to
the other.
Speaker 4 (47:12):
But then again, didn't the Canadians actually give them did
they give them two bottles of whisky er one?
Speaker 3 (47:18):
Just one?
Speaker 1 (47:18):
I guess? Okay, yeah, never mind, so it was.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Exactly the same, which is good, right, all right? So anyway,
I was just that's where my head was at, all right.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
So when they left all of this, he and the
soldier soldiers then of course returned to Denmark.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
But before they did, they took their own.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
Pictures, and again these made it to the local news,
and they were greeted with amusement by the world at
large because it was the eighties.
Speaker 5 (47:47):
What else did you have to do? Well was that?
Speaker 2 (47:55):
But now with their response, of course war had begun.
So with the bottle left by the Danes, it has.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
So are we just explaining that the bottle that was
left by the Danes was either coniac or it was
brandy or.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Schnapps, right, okay, just trying to understand, so we're not
exactly one hundred percent sure what it was.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
It was either.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
Coniac, brandy or schneppers, and there's a big difference in prices, right,
I would assume.
Speaker 11 (48:30):
Yeah, so according to the Danish seamen at the time,
it was a bottle of gone Dunsk, which is a
schnapps made and bottled in Denmark whose name needs old Danish,
(48:50):
which would.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Then also be a wonderful and clever play on words,
which we love.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Here.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I appreciate you giving me the punt parts of the story.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
And now let's take a moment for a word from
our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
Yeah, muh.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Hey, Lexie, how you feel spont might you might try
saying that into the microphone there? Punkin Princess, come over here, there's.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
A microphone right there. How do you feel I feel?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
Sponsort, sponsor, I feel sponted?
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Good girl, good child? Thank you? Okay uh. And the
after the whiskey Wars began. Every year or two thereafter,
one side or the other would land on the island,
plant a sign and a flag, as well as their
particular brand of alcohol. It would appear in papers at
(50:05):
the time, but was never truly well known. Again again,
each time a new group would come the island, plant
their flag, their sign and their alcohol and take their
rival signs, alcohol and flags. Pictures would be taken and
mostly just mailed to their rivals across the sea. History
(50:27):
mostly does not record what happened to these bottles, though
one or two remain on display at museums commemorating the event.
Many sim simply think they were drunk by the people
who collected them. In two thousand and three, the Danish
and Canadian governments announced that they would create a border
on Hans Island and the two countries would share sovereignty
(50:49):
over the island.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
So they ended up just splitting it in half to
solve the.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
Right right and if they're really clever, what they should
have done point was take make a wall along the
dividing line.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
And make the wall with the bottles of the snops
and the.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Flags like like like a nice like commemorative wall, like
each side could have its own things that that would
work well.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea.
Speaker 3 (51:23):
I'm yeah, so go ahead, I should have a wall there,
Like you say, just a wall but nothing but booze advertisements.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
There you go. That will work really well too, all.
Speaker 3 (51:39):
In the actions Canadian whiskey flags.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah, sure, like work for itself, right, pay for itself
as they do.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
All right.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
So it would not, of course be the actual end
until twenty twenty two, and it was then that the
treaty was actually.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Pinned and ratified. In the meantime, a.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
More improve there were more impromptu flag plantings and liquor leavings.
Speaker 3 (52:13):
Liquor leaving that would occur.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
In two thousand and four, there was actually a huge
news story about it. It was picked up on the
Canadian Broadcast Corporation and disseminated through their outlets and into
the Internet, where the.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
Story would go viral. It began to be referred to
as either the.
Speaker 4 (52:39):
Most passive aggressive border conflict in history or the friend
friendly word history. In twenty twenty two, however, shortly after
the invasion of Ukraine, the Canadians and the Danes.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Agreed to a border splitting island.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
This in an effort to so the world a way
that nations could peacefully resolve their disputes going forward.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
What is kind of a nice moral to give to it?
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah? Absolutely, it is and that's I mean, but it's
Canadians and dames. Okay, they're not know to be known
to rude people, right, And.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
I don't know, I just have so much respect for
the way they It's not just clever, it's all kinds
of thing. It's clever, it's funny, but it's deep. It
goes deep to me. It goes deep, you know, because
war is terrible and they could, you know, they could
(53:44):
throw bombs and shoot each other, but instead they're like,
give them a drink, Let's leave them some whiskey, and
we're gonna take their island, but we're gonna leave some whiskey,
you know, I mean, what a way to solve a problem?
What a what a way to fight? I respect that, Yeah,
absolutely is.
Speaker 4 (54:01):
There's some time in tongue in cheek there, but it
was there was absolutely no violence.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
Yeah. Yeah, Well a lot of bottles got killed.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
Well, I mean yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
The living bottles, bottles are bottles are recyclable.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Well yeah, you could probably make stuff on the island.
Like there was a what was what was it said?
It was a lot of nothing, you know.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
If you google it it literally on Wikipedia, the picture
of it. It looks like a big old piece of rock.
Speaker 4 (54:41):
Yeah, it literally is just and like I said, it's
smaller by almost one hundred and fifty acres than Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (54:49):
That's crazy disney World.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
In Florida, but disney Land, which is just one part.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
If it only had a wal Mart, I'm not sure
Walmart would not the super Walmart. Snow, maybe an isle
of night. Wait a minute, we've got an island on
the aisle nineties sheven Canadian whiskey anyway, Oh my goodness,
(55:23):
I'm this is a good episode. Oh I think it
was a good episode. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
We need to take a minute for another word from
our sponsors.
Speaker 10 (55:32):
Yep, okay, I feel sponsor.
Speaker 2 (55:46):
Spot Sun, Thank you. Let's you feel sponsored?
Speaker 1 (55:51):
You wanna yep?
Speaker 3 (55:53):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (55:53):
You listen to our final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (55:55):
Then, well, there are many things about this that lead
to funny thought. One is glad that I'm Americans were
not involved or the whiskey Bravo military designation could have
a whole different meaning, although it is somewhat comforting to
think of a military outfit whose sole purpose is to
deliver alcohol where it's needed. Uh Dale, Hilton's getting married again?
(56:15):
Get some matter of shi to Alaitha.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Now, oh awsome warm, Thank goodness.
Speaker 3 (56:25):
For the single ladies out there. I am not married.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
If you have a tendency to unschooled tapes, Dale may
not be the right person for you.
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Come on, guys, Like I said earlier, they cline, what.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
The thing is, she doesn't know that story. Dale loves metal. Uh.
There is nobody on the planet who knows more about
metal than Dale Hilton, and I will stand by that.
Speaker 5 (57:19):
Okay, I get there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
Let's go. Dale is a is a big, big metal fan.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
He can tell you the difference between propane and biohas
but anyway, Uh.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
I could, but there's not much. Those guys are close anyway. Continue, Well, yeah,
that was weird, man. She knocked on my door. I'm like, hey,
what's going on? I wasn't even telling you, and she
just stood there And then I'm like okay. She goes,
I want to get laid, and I'm like, okay, well
come on in, and because what are you gonna do?
(57:57):
You're a single guy. A girl Knox on your door,
so she wants to get laid. Huh.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
I'm just letting you know. I'm judging you.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
Okay, I judge away because I don't know either way
of handling that except for saying no, which would have
been yeah, I would have I would have lost my
I would have got I don't know, man, I just
but I'm like, okay, all right and uh. And it
was like six months later when she set the place
on fire, So that had nothing to do with me.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
It was a flashback.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
What was that she said she had a flashback?
Speaker 17 (58:49):
Oh, that's funny, and they when when I when I
wrote this three weeks ago, it was still fresh in
my mind because I don't know if you still do
the show, but you're on that video cast laugh jokes
and lead.
Speaker 1 (59:07):
I believe it was called oh yeah, you might still
be on it. I don't know, but you had as
a publicity stunt said you were going to get married
to a girl from the show or who wound up
being on the show. What oh yeah, And so that
was still freshing my head when I when I originally wrote.
Speaker 3 (59:28):
This, Oh okay, okay, yeah, that was.
Speaker 1 (59:35):
So that's to explain the joke that you know, Dale
Hilton's getting married again.
Speaker 3 (59:41):
Yeah, yeah, Dale Hilton will never get married.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
I was probably wise.
Speaker 10 (59:51):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (59:53):
That was Laura saying it's probably wise.
Speaker 10 (59:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:58):
I mean, I'll hang out with somebody and you know,
i'll touch him. But I'm a good cuddler. By the way,
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
We believe that Dale's a one man cuddle puddles, right.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Because if you cuddle with me, you're gonna leave a puddle. Oh,
never mind that one. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Definitely, I think one to make sure I talked about
a little bit. We don't drag politics into the show
very often, but since this deals in large part with
the Greenlandic Inuit people, this whole let's say smut show
(01:00:52):
of America needs Greenland is frankly ridiculous. Yeah. I just
I don't see any need for us to do. What
are people nostalgic for the days when they could harass
the Native Americans and so we need a culture that's
still intact to mess with. I don't know, let's let's yeah.
(01:01:19):
It was in that light that I was reading all
of this, going wow, that's such a different take on things.
Because the countries both used humor. They both use you know,
they were lighthearted about it, and there wasn't even an
angry phone call, like well, there might have been. I mean,
(01:01:41):
if Serge joy'all did not plan this or someone in
his office didn't, there might have been some angry phone
calls once the pictures got out. All right, which one
of you jar heads did this? Yeah, I mean nobody
lost their job for that one. Maybe they had to
peel potatoes or something, right, you know, this wasn't a
(01:02:03):
firing offense for anybody. So yeah, we don't know how
it started, but they both responded with good humor, good taste.
They shared their namesake alcohols. I won't say the best
alcohol they had because I'm not enough of a drinker
to know what would interest in what would be the
(01:02:24):
Canadian best.
Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
But I'll just say Kognac's way better than schnapps.
Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, but yeah, so I again, I think it's very
cool then, you know, not having a war but having
an alcohol contest. The only thing that would have made
it better for me is if they had a yearly
drinking contest on the island.
Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Yeah, there you go, But.
Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Any drinking contest I've ever been a part of resulted
in a lot of using the restroom, And well there
aren't any and I'm not sure we should have we
should assault the sea in such a fashion. All right,
I've had, I've had whiskey try to escape from me
(01:03:19):
early in the morning. Never a good time, never no, no,
and never a pleasant viewing experience afterwards.
Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
No, And the smell. And you know, a hangover is bad.
A two day hangover is real bad. But a three
day hangover will make you quit drinking. I've reached that level.
(01:03:52):
If you can vomit farther than a fire fire hose
shoots water at a fire, you should probably lay off
the sauce.
Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
That sounds like solid advice, Uncle Dale.
Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Yeah, yeah, And don't hey, don't ever ever. I don't
care how old you are in your life from this
moment on. If you ever get to an alcohol establishment
and people want to buy you drinks, that's fine and dandy.
That's how we all have a lot of fun. But
somebody somewhere is going to ask you if you would
(01:04:27):
want to shot, and those are fun too. You're gonna
have to make some changes and plans the next day. However,
might just know this if they say you want to shot,
and you say yeah, and they say do you want
a cement mixer? You punch them in the face. You
(01:04:48):
punch them in the face and you kick them all
they're down. What it has I don't even remember what's
in there, but when they pour it, you got to
pour it in your mouth and it immediately coagulates and
to a big lump of alcohol cheese. Not out of
ten people vomit hard right after they take it.
Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
It's so nasty. That sounds so bad.
Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Yes, it is bad, and it's so in your lifetime.
If somebody says, hey, you want to shot, you'd be like, yeah,
what kind a segment mixer?
Speaker 16 (01:05:23):
You shoot them in a head?
Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Nope, Well you don't shoot them, you just kick their ass.
I know what that is, you asshole.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Well I was explaining to them a bloody brain shot
before we got on the air.
Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
A bloody brain shot.
Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
What's in't that?
Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
The clear alcohol? And I think it might be vodka.
And then they pour in kalua, which is because it's
cream based, is heavy, so it sort of sinks to
the bottom. And then they put in grenadine, which makes
had veins through the kalua. So it was like a
bloody brain in the bottom.
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Of the That's pretty creative, huh, I said, that's pretty creative.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Yeah. Well I was explaining that to them and they
didn't like that, so I submit me.
Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Here's one for you. It's called a girl and this
it's called a gorilla fart. It's three parts one fifty
one and one part grain alcohol. One shot is worth
four beers. Nice and when you.
Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Take it alcohol, are you talking like ever?
Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Cleare? Yes? Nice?
Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
My favorite drink ever was purple Passion.
Speaker 10 (01:06:47):
Oh yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Purple Passion in the cairn. That was the ship.
Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
That's the most amazing. Two liter bottles of purple fashion
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Yeah, what so hard?
Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
But please remember we are a family show. Thanks for
the kids tuning in. I hope you're learning something today,
little Johnny.
Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
And after our break we're talking about heroine anyway, edited
it out.
Speaker 18 (01:07:19):
Fucking personal stuff and then it was all fair game.
And now it feels creepy and wrong. We're talking about alcohol.
It's always creepy and wrong with alcohol.
Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
We are literally that is the whole topic of the
show is booze tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
You know that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
In a kind of in a kind of offhand historic way.
Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Okay, it's still booze interconnected. He brought up great alcohol.
Speaker 5 (01:07:56):
I was on a city and I knows about booze.
Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Anyway, that brings the show, does it?
Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Does everybody get dropped their their summary or their final
thoughts because I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
We are talking the whole way through.
Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Well, I guess my final thought because it goes right
with Deans. It was a very classy way to handle
a situation. And I wish the world leaders today, would.
Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
I I don't have any faith in them, but sure
would be nice if they could take a little lesson
from that. All Right, that's and that's my final thought.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
All right, anyway, anything from anyone else before we jump
to the end. Nope, I'm good, Yeah you were.
Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
I have to pee, okay with arber.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Bye.
Yeah, Yo, I'm Dean. I'm the dad over here.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, I'm Laura, I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The mom, and I'm Arthur, I'm a son and tig well.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And I'm Dale. Then that the other guy.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The creepy uncle that we don't tell you about.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Right, Yes, that's right. I'm the uncle that you go
to to get beer.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. Absolutely, and together we are.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Plus one.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
No, he's family, he can he's part of the plot.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, but we just established that he's uncle Dale. I
mean that's what Lexi refers to.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Him as cool. I'm Uncle Dale. I'm the guy that
when your mom and dad are asleep and you get
you sneak out of the house and you get arrested
and you need to get bailed out of jail, but
you don't want to let your mom and dad know
you call me.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
That is exactly right, because whenever they leave the house,
they're told that if they get arrested, they're in trouble
because mom can't afford bail money.
Speaker 3 (02:00):

appropriate for Dale. He'll think it's he'll think it's.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Bad tappy holidays.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Whoa, Oh night, you have to beat yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It won't be the first time. Weirdly, honey, what are
we talking about tonight? Well, in nineteen seventy three, Canada
and Denmark we're working out a sea border in the
Nares Strait. The one place they couldn't determine was Hans Island.
(05:08):
Both countries felt that it clearly belonged to them. Thus
began a series of events and a good natured and
humorous encounter between two countries that bordered on good taste
and being amusing, but never even for a moment spiraled
into violence. So come with us. Back to nineteen seventy three.
(05:28):
In this alcohol heavy Dale Hilton requested and guested episodes
of the Family Plot podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I think it's important to also note that something else.
In nineteen seventy three, I was still four years from
being on this earth, living, bringing human.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Just so we're clear, and Dale and I were both
alive when this happened.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, I know, that's what I'm saying. Y'all be old.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
We're old, but we're more. We're just old. I believe
I was. This happened in nineteen seventy three. I was
three years old then.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, yeah, I was five, So yeah, I wasn't born
until September of seventy seven, y'all.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And if I wasn't born, that means Arthur.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Wouldn't nowhere to be sy I'm with a bunch of
old people here two thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Platform, I'm with old people.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I was still in diapers when Michael Jackson passed.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow, well you are with old people, I am.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do you find that old people ask you the same question?
What great are you in? Are you doing? You like school? No?
That gout at either.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Well Anyway, let's let's let's uh to take a brief
break here because I want to touch on something that
Dale wants it said when I'm recording when he said
it or not, but he'd said that, Uh, he was
the sort of friend that your kids call when they
get in trouble to bail them out of jail.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And I want to point out that he was also
the friend for most of my life that if you
were about to have a fight with someone, wasn't going
to tell you, oh, don't fight. He was going to
go and lock the door.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's a good, really a good friend to have.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, all right, and I meant every word of it too.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So let's talk about hans Hans Island or Hans Island.
I'm not sure if it's pronunciation or as it's known
in the native language of the Greenlandic people hard a pullock,
which literally means kidney shaped, Oh yummy. It's a small
(08:09):
island located in the Kennedy Channel of the net Ar Street.
It was so sad when the CIA assassinated that channel.
It has a total size of three hundred and twenty
acres or thereabouts, and just for purposes of comparison, out
of Manhattan is over fourteen thousand acres and Rhode Island
(08:33):
is over seven.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So in other words, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, yes, it'll yes small correct, Yes, yeah, it's very tiny.
It has no natural resources, although Native green people who
travel here to fish it is likely been part of
the Inuit hunting fishing grip since the fourteenth century. With
(09:03):
climate change the melting the Arctic waters, it may have
a potentially strategic importance in future shipping commerce. But literally
it has nothing of value. Wow, No trees, no rare minerals, nothing.
So if one was going to build a home on
the island, one would need to import literally everything to
(09:25):
build said home. And since there is no fresh water
on the island as well, you're going to be importing that. Also. Also,
if you want power, you're going to have to build
your own power plant. We're talking about an island with
a whole lot of nothing. It is also the smallest
of the three islands of what is called the Washington
Land Coast. The other two islands are Franklin Island and
(09:49):
Crosier Island.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Okay, just just to give us a frame of resperance
on the size of three hundred and twenty acres anyone
who has been to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Disneyland
Park is five hundred acres, so almost twice. So that's
how small this island.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's how hyry this island was.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That is all that is a small island when you
stay a whole lot of nothing. It's kind of like
what's in Donald Trump's head.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Ah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That seems accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Actually, well, you want to take us into your corner
here while while we're hanging with our uncle Dale.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Yeah, here, ye here, you allow me to present Arthur's corner.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Hey yeah, absolutely all right. Everybody, Welcome to the corner.
My name is Arthur.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I am your.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Host of the corner. He's the corner host.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I'm the corner I'm the corner host.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Corner guys, Arthur, I'm here to tell you that I
am doing pretty good today.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Thank you very much. Moral welcome.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That is fabulous?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I thought that was Brian.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say that you might not be
completely straight. Well we walked.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Nobody's ever accused me of.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That, say, there's always been whispers.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, Keith, even dressing drags several times a week and
not on dates.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
So you do it more, you'd be gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
He is. He's absolutely di diver.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And I'm accurate because this breast is a little bigger
than that one.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yes, uncle, Dyl, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I am alive and not in jail?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
That is what we strive for you to take the
one hundred days straight.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Out?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Or did?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'm working on a personal record staying out of jail. Nah,
I haven't been in jail in decades. I'm so good.
How are you? So? Everybody else is doing good? That's
good to hear.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yes, yes, that is good to hear.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
My other answer is, well, I'm on this side of
the dirt.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that too.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
That's always a good call.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So what are we talking about in your corner this week? Arthur?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I don't have much to talk about today, but I
do get to talk about a little bit about the.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Time I had this weekend.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I think I told you guys last weekend or last
week that you.

I did was because I would have remembered that in
the editing, wasn't there. You might have meant to, but
you didn't.

You know what I don't think. I don't think you
told us until that Thursday.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I don't know. I told you guys on Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Okay, maybe we just forgot to mention it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Maybe I did. Maybe I just forgot to mention it.
We were talking about a lot on.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
The other we were Yeah, it was, it was busy,
it was, it was.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It was a lot of inpro it was a long episode,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
With you, the last episode you did, yeah, cause.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, that that episode was last week's episode. We didn't
lessons then, we didn't like them whoever they were.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Don't find out. But I would have to like close
our notes and then come back to our.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Notes, and that's like a whole stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
What was the last episode?

that I didn't tell you. It was that I didn't
want to do it in general, because I could have
if I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, okay, gotcha. Yes, I felt bad.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I didn't want you to just like not tell us

to put up with him. You know, you know he's
a dick. I mean, he's a dick anyway. But anyway, anyway,
I don't know. That's not the subject for today. I
don't want to talk about politics.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
No, that's probably wise to avoid.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm sorry. We like Dale, we like having him on,
but he won't shut up.
Speaker 1 (23:29):

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, you're helping us the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Tell him how to make the sausage gear.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
It's okay, you have a class for this thought they learn.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, but if we give out all the secrets here,
then people won't go to the class and that helps,
you know, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Everybody's said it's a word?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Who thinks everybody spends time listening to our episodes of
us yapping for an.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I hope so I have ah, I thank you.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
After the egg hunt, after the egg hot, we uh
went back inside and everybody got cleaned up because.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They put vasiline on.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But it's the tide I stained through the vasiline, so
it dyed their skin.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
They look like purple people eaters.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Just a little bit. Did you say purple people eaters?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, how's that one eyed, one horn flying purple people
eater exactly?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I can't believe I remembered that.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
That's probably the first time Arthur's even ever heard that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
No heard that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh okay, I think there should be a death metal
version of it. Not because you're talking about eating people,
you know, so we like.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
And if not, we you know, we deserve some fealty
royalties off of off of whatever you make off of
that version.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And just put them on over I'm giving it all
to you guys.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Well, thank you.

Well, right, Arthur is a bit ace if I understand
it correctly, and uh ace is a short short for
ace sexual Uh, they don't necessary the if you urge
to calculate to feel close to someone. You one who
(27:36):
used the analogy, Dale, Ah, I'm the one who used
the analogy.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, Well I was certainly thinking it. Well, how do
you how do you explain how far you got without
pissing somebody off? I guess you just don't.
Speaker 1 (27:58):

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Kissing twenty twenty five, Dale, myself.
Speaker 1 (28:06):

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Okay, thanks for lifting up the rock and letting me out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're so you got to cuddle? Yes, you got to
be part of a cuddle puddle.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
They just they hung out like friends.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Cool. Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Cuddle puddle arthur Is is a term for where a
group of people are having a party and they're all
just lying on one another cuddle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's a cuddle puddle those I feel like that was
a term from the hippie hippie or maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I don't know. The first I heard about it was
in the Ace. They did a a The news always
had the look at this weird thing. It was a
video of a group that was promoting cuddle puddles. But yeah,
that I got to.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Cuddle my friend and then when we woke up in
the morning. Uh, I was just showing on my phone
for a little while playing a Bubble Shooter game because
that's fun. I've only been playing it for like four
days now and I'm already on level one hundred fifty something.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Appreciated I got. I I did pretty get it packed.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Man, edit that out, probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, wait what, I'll hear it tomorrow. Right now, it's
not making any sense in my head.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You did, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
The puddle. What happened after that?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And you were playing you were playing your bubble shooter?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah, and then we went out for a walk after
after I got to cuddle with my friend Moore in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And my legs went numb on the walk.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That was. That was like, wow, that's scary.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That was later in the day. My legs went completely
completely numb and my friends had to help me get
the rest of the way back.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Because I was, uh dehydrated.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, because Arthur wasn't listening to Arthur's own body like
we do.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I drank water when I got there.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, that's not supposed to be the only water you drink.
I'm just saying I don't even drink water, and I
know that.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
What you get to drink no water, but I can't.
But we got Arthur home. We got Arthur hydrated. Arthur
feels much better.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, I suppose I should in this corner.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
If you've got other stuff to talk about, talk about it, baby.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I just I try to keep I know this was deviating.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Should you know this. This isn't gonna help any But
when you said that your legs went numb, a scene
from an old movie, well, now old movie popped into
my head and I immediately wanted to go scamp. I
can't fill my legs, scamp, that's my leg Oh okay,
(31:35):
we're just re referenced to Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor
and Jean Wilder back in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ago.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yes, you made me think of that when you said
your legs went numb. I thought of an old movie,
and I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Hey, any movie from Wilder is good Bye.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Me by Wilder and prob Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, Wilder by himself is always a good watch for me. So, yeah,
the man was a great actor for what he did.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, yeah, he was good. But I think we're going
off topic here, where we need to find out the
ending or the not the ending. But how I guess
the legs got hydrated and you're feeling better. Okay, Yeah,
well I'm glad you're feeling better.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, I'm glad I'm feeling better too, or else I
wouldn't have been able to go to school.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Oh well, yeah, Dale wouldn't see that as a positive.
But then again, Dale spends got a lot of his
schooling at a place where someone got beaten out pretty
bad by a guy named Tiny because they put their
thumb in his mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah, let me tell the story every time Uncle Dale's
on the show.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Oh well, I won't talk about it.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well, I don't have a great time with school either,
but it keeps them from being arrested, so yeah, that's
always a good thing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's a good that's a good plan.
That's a good plan. I'm not gonna go rob the bank.
I'm gonna go new math, new male.
Speaker 12 (33:30):
Yeah that's about it, all right, Well you want to
take this next bit for us, buddy?
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
But what who me?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Section?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
In nineteen seventy three, Canada and Mark were drawing up
a simple treaty defining their borders within the Nares Strait.
The only one thing they could not agree on was
who Hans Island belonged to. The Canadians claimed it was
(34:21):
our island because they had purchased the holdings of Hudson
of the Hudson Hudson Bay Company in eighteen eighty. At
that point, the Hudson Bay Company was a trading company
(34:43):
with exclusive rights to certain areas regarding the trading of goods. Thus,
they mostly traded pelts, furs, food like fish and deer,
as well as items crafted by indigenous people. They sold
much of their land holdings to the Emerging of the
(35:07):
Emerging Nation Emerging Nation of Canada and later became a
holding company and real estate company that exists to this day.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I thought the name, the name company name sounded familiar.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Long story short, Canada felt like they had purchased Hans
Islands and we're not going to give up. However, Denmark,
which controlled the Greenland, which controls Greenland, though it is
largely considered autonomous Okay autonomous Zone with the local indigenous
(35:53):
culture living in a way that benefits their culture and history,
argued that greenlandic Inuit people have included the island in
their hunting and fishing grounds for centuries, and they were
going to seed a place that was culturally.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
The local Inuits.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
The rest of the border was carved out with little
to no problem, but both Denmark and Canada had claimed
Ton's Island as their own.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So I want to point out here a couple of things. One,
thank you Arthur. But so this is right now basically
a land war. They're both saying I own it. Iron
In no countries do this. There is an escalation of
troops and violence. And having said that, now let's have
(36:55):
a moment for a word with our guest, mister Hilton. Oh,
mister health.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Hen yes you Ryan, So what are you up to?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
What's going on in the world of Hilton's. What would
you like to promote?
Speaker 3 (37:18):
H m uh, I'd like to promote this show that
we're on right now, because yeah, I think it's uh
very It is an educational show. I'm not kidding around,
you know, so you can learn a few things that
(37:41):
you don't get to really learn about, and you know,
learn about obscure things.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
You know.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That's like yeah, yeah, and I and I have fun,
you know, I've been on here what twice now? And
this this is fun? And I watched I watched one
other one, but it was a long time ago. Don't
quiz me. But anyway, anything else that I want to promote,
(38:08):
Let's see. I I retired from comedy for about a week.
I have a gig, possible gig coming up that's supposed
to be well paying in June, but I don't have
the information on that, so I'm not gonna pimp that.
But other than that, do I want to I'm doing
(38:30):
all right. I got scored some insurance so I can
take care of some health problems. And what else is
going on with me? I am single and looking for
a cuddle puddle? Ah, and I guess I did.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Yeah, that's what we hear. You're big in the Philippines, Philippines.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I'm sorry, would you say I said, well, you are
in the Philippines.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yes, that's right to all my Philippines fans. I would
like to canichi wa. I hope that's the right thing.
I really like General's Chicken. I don't know how to
say the tea word, but the Philippines, I'd like to
go there and visit. Although I think a guy like
(39:26):
me going to the Philippines to visit. Is that probably
looks kind of creepy, So I'll bring some. I'm gonna
bring everybody from the show with me to the Philippines
when I have the money.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, I hope that answered the question.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely it did. Good sir. Do you want
to take this next little bit for us?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Yeah? Let me Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yes? Now we can hear you. You froze for a second.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I was trying to read the thing. Let me try
this one more time, all right, can you still hear me? Yeah? Okay,
here we go. Yeah, thank you, by the way.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
No problem.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
And now a word from our guest, Hi, I'm Dale Hilton.
The first shot is fired, or perhaps drank. In nineteen
eighty four, a group of Canadian soldiers, under cover of
night infiltrated the paradise that was Hans Island. They planted
a Canadian flag, left a bottle of Canadian whiskey, specifically
(40:47):
the brand Canadian Club, half buried in the soil, and
left a note half buried in the soil, and left
a note under the bottle that read simply Welcome to Canada.
The note was in both French and English as one
would expect. Why did they do it? What?
Speaker 2 (41:11):
How's that kind of book?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
It was a free booms in a flag. Why did
they do it? We don't know. It's possible that it
was ordered by Serge Joel, who was the Secretary of
State for Canada at the time, or it might have
(41:34):
been ordered by someone in his office. It is also
possible that the Canadian soldiers did it for a lark.
Whatever the case, the soldiers high fived, took some pictures
and left the island. The pictures appeared in some local
paper and somehow made their way to Denmark. Among wills
(41:54):
who saw the pictures was Tom Hoyman, the Danish Minister
of Greenland Affairs at the time. That's awesome, Yeah, absolutely,
and that just that just goes to show there's a
Craig Ferguson had a show and he he had a
(42:17):
joke and this show, this is proof of their actions
are proof of this joke. He said that Canadians are
some of the nicest people in the world until you
put a hockey stick in their hand.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I've heard that, but then again I hear that kind
of I just recently.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Acquired and appreciation for hockey because I read the Fleet
series by S. J. Tilley, who's one of my new
authors that I absolutely love that's based in hockey, So
I understand that that tends to be an overarching theme
that hockey players tend to be a little aggressive with
those sticks.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yeah, but these guys, these soldiers were nice. Him, don't
I don't have a Canadian act have a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Well, let's take a minute and hear from our fellow
content creators.
Speaker 13 (43:21):
It's all, do you love old time radio? Do you
know absolutely nothing about old time radio?

Then you can just cut that out and then we

the next session.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
YEA cool.
Speaker 16 (45:35):
So Tom, when he heard about this, he laughed, and
when he saw the pictures he sort of took them
as a moment of challenge.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Accepted as you do.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Tom, with a small complement of soldiers, went to Hans Island,
removed the Canadian flag, talk them out, and the whiskey,
because why would you leave good whiskey there. History does
not exactly record what happened to the whiskey, but it's
(46:10):
a good bet that the soldiers probably drink it later,
as you do as a soldier. And in its place
they lack the Danish flag, a bottle of cognac, and
a note that read simply to them, welcome to the
Danish Island. I want he wrote that in English and
(46:35):
French as well, just curiosity. I'm guessing history doesn't record
that either.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
No, okay, okay, not a problem.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Cuckoo, cuckoo.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Maybe maybe it's just not that's documented. We should send
a message to Brenda and see if she knows well.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Brenda would get that. Branda would get that the English
and French thing is specific Canada because of.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
I know, but what I'm thinking is like one to
the other.
Speaker 4 (47:12):
But then again, didn't the Canadians actually give them did
they give them two bottles of whisky er one?
Speaker 3 (47:18):
Just one?
Speaker 1 (47:18):
I guess? Okay, yeah, never mind, so it was.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Exactly the same, which is good, right, all right? So anyway,
I was just that's where my head was at, all right.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
So when they left all of this, he and the
soldier soldiers then of course returned to Denmark.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
But before they did, they took their own.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
Pictures, and again these made it to the local news,
and they were greeted with amusement by the world at
large because it was the eighties.
Speaker 5 (47:47):
What else did you have to do? Well was that?
Speaker 2 (47:55):
But now with their response, of course war had begun.
So with the bottle left by the Danes, it has.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
So are we just explaining that the bottle that was
left by the Danes was either coniac or it was
brandy or.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Schnapps, right, okay, just trying to understand, so we're not
exactly one hundred percent sure what it was.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
It was either.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
Coniac, brandy or schneppers, and there's a big difference in prices, right,
I would assume.
Speaker 11 (48:30):
Yeah, so according to the Danish seamen at the time,
it was a bottle of gone Dunsk, which is a
schnapps made and bottled in Denmark whose name needs old Danish,
(48:50):
which would.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Then also be a wonderful and clever play on words,
which we love.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Here.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I appreciate you giving me the punt parts of the story.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
And now let's take a moment for a word from
our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
Yeah, muh.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Hey, Lexie, how you feel spont might you might try
saying that into the microphone there? Punkin Princess, come over here, there's.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
A microphone right there. How do you feel I feel?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
Sponsort, sponsor, I feel sponted?
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Good girl, good child? Thank you? Okay uh. And the
after the whiskey Wars began. Every year or two thereafter,
one side or the other would land on the island,
plant a sign and a flag, as well as their
particular brand of alcohol. It would appear in papers at
(50:05):
the time, but was never truly well known. Again again,
each time a new group would come the island, plant
their flag, their sign and their alcohol and take their
rival signs, alcohol and flags. Pictures would be taken and
mostly just mailed to their rivals across the sea. History
(50:27):
mostly does not record what happened to these bottles, though
one or two remain on display at museums commemorating the event.
Many sim simply think they were drunk by the people
who collected them. In two thousand and three, the Danish
and Canadian governments announced that they would create a border
on Hans Island and the two countries would share sovereignty
(50:49):
over the island.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
So they ended up just splitting it in half to
solve the.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
Right right and if they're really clever, what they should
have done point was take make a wall along the
dividing line.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
And make the wall with the bottles of the snops
and the.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Flags like like like a nice like commemorative wall, like
each side could have its own things that that would
work well.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea.
Speaker 3 (51:23):
I'm yeah, so go ahead, I should have a wall there,
Like you say, just a wall but nothing but booze advertisements.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
There you go. That will work really well too, all.
Speaker 3 (51:39):
In the actions Canadian whiskey flags.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah, sure, like work for itself, right, pay for itself
as they do.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
All right.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
So it would not, of course be the actual end
until twenty twenty two, and it was then that the
treaty was actually.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Pinned and ratified. In the meantime, a.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
More improve there were more impromptu flag plantings and liquor leavings.
Speaker 3 (52:13):
Liquor leaving that would occur.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
In two thousand and four, there was actually a huge
news story about it. It was picked up on the
Canadian Broadcast Corporation and disseminated through their outlets and into
the Internet, where the.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
Story would go viral. It began to be referred to
as either the.
Speaker 4 (52:39):
Most passive aggressive border conflict in history or the friend
friendly word history. In twenty twenty two, however, shortly after
the invasion of Ukraine, the Canadians and the Danes.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Agreed to a border splitting island.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
This in an effort to so the world a way
that nations could peacefully resolve their disputes going forward.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
What is kind of a nice moral to give to it?
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah? Absolutely, it is and that's I mean, but it's
Canadians and dames. Okay, they're not know to be known
to rude people, right, And.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
I don't know, I just have so much respect for
the way they It's not just clever, it's all kinds
of thing. It's clever, it's funny, but it's deep. It
goes deep to me. It goes deep, you know, because
war is terrible and they could, you know, they could
(53:44):
throw bombs and shoot each other, but instead they're like,
give them a drink, Let's leave them some whiskey, and
we're gonna take their island, but we're gonna leave some whiskey,
you know, I mean, what a way to solve a problem?
What a what a way to fight? I respect that, Yeah,
absolutely is.
Speaker 4 (54:01):
There's some time in tongue in cheek there, but it
was there was absolutely no violence.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
Yeah. Yeah, Well a lot of bottles got killed.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
Well, I mean yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
The living bottles, bottles are bottles are recyclable.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Well yeah, you could probably make stuff on the island.
Like there was a what was what was it said?
It was a lot of nothing, you know.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
If you google it it literally on Wikipedia, the picture
of it. It looks like a big old piece of rock.
Speaker 4 (54:41):
Yeah, it literally is just and like I said, it's
smaller by almost one hundred and fifty acres than Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (54:49):
That's crazy disney World.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
In Florida, but disney Land, which is just one part.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
If it only had a wal Mart, I'm not sure
Walmart would not the super Walmart. Snow, maybe an isle
of night. Wait a minute, we've got an island on
the aisle nineties sheven Canadian whiskey anyway, Oh my goodness,
(55:23):
I'm this is a good episode. Oh I think it
was a good episode. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
We need to take a minute for another word from
our sponsors.
Speaker 10 (55:32):
Yep, okay, I feel sponsor.
Speaker 2 (55:46):
Spot Sun, Thank you. Let's you feel sponsored?
Speaker 1 (55:51):
You wanna yep?
Speaker 3 (55:53):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (55:53):
You listen to our final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (55:55):
Then, well, there are many things about this that lead
to funny thought. One is glad that I'm Americans were
not involved or the whiskey Bravo military designation could have
a whole different meaning, although it is somewhat comforting to
think of a military outfit whose sole purpose is to
deliver alcohol where it's needed. Uh Dale, Hilton's getting married again?
(56:15):
Get some matter of shi to Alaitha.
Speaker 2 (56:17):

Family Plot Podcast.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (56:51):
If you have a tendency to unschooled tapes, Dale may
not be the right person for you.
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Come on, guys, Like I said earlier, they cline, what.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
The thing is, she doesn't know that story. Dale loves metal. Uh.
There is nobody on the planet who knows more about
metal than Dale Hilton, and I will stand by that.
Speaker 5 (57:19):
Okay, I get there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
Let's go. Dale is a is a big, big metal fan.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
He can tell you the difference between propane and biohas
but anyway, Uh.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
I could, but there's not much. Those guys are close anyway. Continue, Well, yeah,
that was weird, man. She knocked on my door. I'm like, hey,
what's going on? I wasn't even telling you, and she
just stood there And then I'm like okay. She goes,
I want to get laid, and I'm like, okay, well
come on in, and because what are you gonna do?
(57:57):
You're a single guy. A girl Knox on your door,
so she wants to get laid. Huh.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
I'm just letting you know. I'm judging you.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
Okay, I judge away because I don't know either way
of handling that except for saying no, which would have
been yeah, I would have I would have lost my
I would have got I don't know, man, I just
but I'm like, okay, all right and uh. And it
was like six months later when she set the place
on fire, So that had nothing to do with me.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
It was a flashback.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
What was that she said she had a flashback?
Speaker 17 (58:49):
Oh, that's funny, and they when when I when I
wrote this three weeks ago, it was still fresh in
my mind because I don't know if you still do
the show, but you're on that video cast laugh jokes
and lead.
Speaker 1 (59:07):
I believe it was called oh yeah, you might still
be on it. I don't know, but you had as
a publicity stunt said you were going to get married
to a girl from the show or who wound up
being on the show. What oh yeah, And so that
was still freshing my head when I when I originally wrote.
Speaker 3 (59:28):
This, Oh okay, okay, yeah, that was.
Speaker 1 (59:35):
So that's to explain the joke that you know, Dale
Hilton's getting married again.
Speaker 3 (59:41):
Yeah, yeah, Dale Hilton will never get married.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
I was probably wise.
Speaker 10 (59:51):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (59:53):
That was Laura saying it's probably wise.
Speaker 10 (59:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:58):
I mean, I'll hang out with somebody and you know,
i'll touch him. But I'm a good cuddler. By the way,
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
We believe that Dale's a one man cuddle puddles, right.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Because if you cuddle with me, you're gonna leave a puddle. Oh,
never mind that one. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Definitely, I think one to make sure I talked about
a little bit. We don't drag politics into the show
very often, but since this deals in large part with
the Greenlandic Inuit people, this whole let's say smut show
(01:00:52):
of America needs Greenland is frankly ridiculous. Yeah. I just
I don't see any need for us to do. What
are people nostalgic for the days when they could harass
the Native Americans and so we need a culture that's
still intact to mess with. I don't know, let's let's yeah.
(01:01:19):
It was in that light that I was reading all
of this, going wow, that's such a different take on things.
Because the countries both used humor. They both use you know,
they were lighthearted about it, and there wasn't even an
angry phone call, like well, there might have been. I mean,
(01:01:41):
if Serge joy'all did not plan this or someone in
his office didn't, there might have been some angry phone
calls once the pictures got out. All right, which one
of you jar heads did this? Yeah, I mean nobody
lost their job for that one. Maybe they had to
peel potatoes or something, right, you know, this wasn't a
(01:02:03):
firing offense for anybody. So yeah, we don't know how
it started, but they both responded with good humor, good taste.
They shared their namesake alcohols. I won't say the best
alcohol they had because I'm not enough of a drinker
to know what would interest in what would be the
(01:02:24):
Canadian best.
Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
But I'll just say Kognac's way better than schnapps.
Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, but yeah, so I again, I think it's very
cool then, you know, not having a war but having
an alcohol contest. The only thing that would have made
it better for me is if they had a yearly
drinking contest on the island.
Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Yeah, there you go, But.
Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Any drinking contest I've ever been a part of resulted
in a lot of using the restroom, And well there
aren't any and I'm not sure we should have we
should assault the sea in such a fashion. All right,
I've had, I've had whiskey try to escape from me
(01:03:19):
early in the morning. Never a good time, never no, no,
and never a pleasant viewing experience afterwards.
Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
No, And the smell. And you know, a hangover is bad.
A two day hangover is real bad. But a three
day hangover will make you quit drinking. I've reached that level.
(01:03:52):
If you can vomit farther than a fire fire hose
shoots water at a fire, you should probably lay off
the sauce.
Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
That sounds like solid advice, Uncle Dale.
Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Yeah, yeah, And don't hey, don't ever ever. I don't
care how old you are in your life from this
moment on. If you ever get to an alcohol establishment
and people want to buy you drinks, that's fine and dandy.
That's how we all have a lot of fun. But
somebody somewhere is going to ask you if you would
(01:04:27):
want to shot, and those are fun too. You're gonna
have to make some changes and plans the next day. However,
might just know this if they say you want to shot,
and you say yeah, and they say do you want
a cement mixer? You punch them in the face. You
(01:04:48):
punch them in the face and you kick them all
they're down. What it has I don't even remember what's
in there, but when they pour it, you got to
pour it in your mouth and it immediately coagulates and
to a big lump of alcohol cheese. Not out of
ten people vomit hard right after they take it.
Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
It's so nasty. That sounds so bad.
Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Yes, it is bad, and it's so in your lifetime.
If somebody says, hey, you want to shot, you'd be like, yeah,
what kind a segment mixer?
Speaker 16 (01:05:23):
You shoot them in a head?
Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Nope, Well you don't shoot them, you just kick their ass.
I know what that is, you asshole.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Well I was explaining to them a bloody brain shot
before we got on the air.
Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
A bloody brain shot.
Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
What's in't that?
Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
The clear alcohol? And I think it might be vodka.
And then they pour in kalua, which is because it's
cream based, is heavy, so it sort of sinks to
the bottom. And then they put in grenadine, which makes
had veins through the kalua. So it was like a
bloody brain in the bottom.
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Of the That's pretty creative, huh, I said, that's pretty creative.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Yeah. Well I was explaining that to them and they
didn't like that, so I submit me.
Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Here's one for you. It's called a girl and this
it's called a gorilla fart. It's three parts one fifty
one and one part grain alcohol. One shot is worth
four beers. Nice and when you.
Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Take it alcohol, are you talking like ever?
Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Cleare? Yes? Nice?
Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
My favorite drink ever was purple Passion.
Speaker 10 (01:06:47):
Oh yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Purple Passion in the cairn. That was the ship.
Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
That's the most amazing. Two liter bottles of purple fashion
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Yeah, what so hard?
Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
But please remember we are a family show. Thanks for
the kids tuning in. I hope you're learning something today,
little Johnny.
Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
And after our break we're talking about heroine anyway, edited
it out.
Speaker 18 (01:07:19):
Fucking personal stuff and then it was all fair game.
And now it feels creepy and wrong. We're talking about alcohol.
It's always creepy and wrong with alcohol.
Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
We are literally that is the whole topic of the
show is booze tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
You know that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
In a kind of in a kind of offhand historic way.
Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Okay, it's still booze interconnected. He brought up great alcohol.
Speaker 5 (01:07:56):
I was on a city and I knows about booze.
Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Anyway, that brings the show, does it?
Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Does everybody get dropped their their summary or their final
thoughts because I didn't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
We are talking the whole way through.
Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Well, I guess my final thought because it goes right
with Deans. It was a very classy way to handle
a situation. And I wish the world leaders today, would.
Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
I I don't have any faith in them, but sure
would be nice if they could take a little lesson
from that. All Right, that's and that's my final thought.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
All right, anyway, anything from anyone else before we jump
to the end. Nope, I'm good, Yeah you were.
Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
I have to pee, okay with arber.
