Full Episode Transcript
00:00:02:18 – 00:00:33:01
It's, sadness about ozone, right? Yeah. I mean, 76 is good innings. And he for him. Yeah. Yeah. For him. And he was noticeably sucked. Yeah. To put it put it lightly. Maddie did that concert actually. And it was then that. That's what that's what I don't, that's what I don't understand. Is that alive and then dead?
00:00:33:02 – 00:00:59:17
Yeah. How can you like, like. But it feels like there must have been, you know, like, when someone's got cancer and they're like, it's got to a stage now where you are looking at months, if not weeks. Yeah. And it's kind of like, right, let's fucking get this thing done, let's go for it. And then it's like, whatever happens, happens after that.
00:00:59:19 – 00:01:22:00
And I just feel strange though, don't you think? Like they did that massive concert, he put everything into it. And then after that it's like a couple of weeks later, then he's gone. Yeah. I think it's strange. Yeah. And I think, like, if you think he probably was building up to that and it took so much energy to do that, it was kind of his last hurrah.
00:01:22:02 – 00:01:42:05
Obviously it was. Yeah. But if you heard him interviewed after the, after the, after concert, he talked about coming off all of his meds, all of them just to do the just to show. Yeah, he's Parkinson's meds and he's, pain medication and all that sort of stuff just so he could feel one and be with it.
00:01:42:07 – 00:02:05:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which probably had a big impact on him. And, you know, like the Parkinson's stuff. My, I got my cousin, my little, my second cousin said that he, he had an injury at work where he hit his head and after hitting his head, he developed Parkinson's after that head injury. Wow. Yeah. It's not always just, like, comes on.
00:02:05:01 – 00:02:28:11
It's sometimes if you have a bad head injury, Parkinson's can be accelerated. Oh my God. And he had that really bad. What's it called? Quad bike accident, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I mean, that that kind of accelerated Parkinson's, but yeah, I mean, I don't really. I thought if we spoke about this before, like when famous people die, I doesn't.
00:02:28:13 – 00:02:51:10
I don't really think anything already. See this this is what I did actually want to speak to you about because, I mean, like you said recently, the incredibly sad case of Diogo Jota. Yeah. And I get I kind of get, obviously he's, a young guy came out of the blue, children just got married. The whole thing.
00:02:51:12 – 00:03:18:03
Yeah. Very tragic, but it's like a so distant from me that it's not that I didn't feel anything. It's just that I didn't have that outpouring of rip and posting it on my socials or anything. And when any celeb or anyone like that and they pass away and it happens, I'm not like I'm, I don't feel like posting about it and I don't really kind of internalize and stuff like that.
00:03:18:07 – 00:04:14:10
But for me, Ozzy Osbourne was different. And the reason why is I'm sure I've gone over this many a time, but during the time where where I was, wrote counseling and I had this kind of subconscious thoughts that, part of me like trying to understand yourself. And obviously I'm of Jewish heritage and not really knowing my place in, Western society and not really knowing my place in England, even though, you know, born and bred British and the culture and stuff like that and stuff I see online about what, who and what is British and stuff, I kind of I made a list for myself to say, what is that?
00:04:14:11 – 00:04:37:20
I'm proud of being British. Now when I see the Saint George's flag and stuff like that, that doesn't really it doesn't feel British to me that that that's not what I'm like. I get pride from being from this country. So I made a list of the kind of the famous people that I see on TV or on social that I'm like, I'm fucking glad they're from my country.
00:04:37:20 – 00:05:00:07
They're my that's that's my that's my jam. They're my guys. And there are other things as well that, that is part of British society where I'm just like, I'm so glad that I'm, I'm British and that's part of me. That's what I attach myself to rather than, you know, a flag or anything like that or singing the national anthem.
00:05:00:09 – 00:05:26:19
And Ozzy Osborne was one of those guys that was in my list because he was just a working class guy with a Brummie accent in L.A., and he was known for Jackson Denny, that was so cool. And obviously, and of course, like the worst accent as well, isn't it? And I can't say that, you know. Yeah, I'm, I'm among my mum's one, so,
00:05:26:21 – 00:05:50:11
Exactly. And just like everyone knowing him and his escapades and being like you know, the sort of one of the godfathers of heavy metal and that the shit that he used to do is that, like when I was growing up, like, you know, me, I was very much into the mod scene and, rock and roll, rock n roll.
00:05:50:16 – 00:06:17:16
Like, I loved that chaotic kind of like excessive drinking, drugs and all the stories that go behind it. And, you know, it's one of those things that you look at from that's not from my world, but I enjoy all of that that comes around. And Ozzy was one of those guys that he he represented Britain. I think that drinking culture, that drugs, that fucking just being on this little island, it's just going mad.
00:06:17:16 – 00:06:38:08
Do you remember the show that the Osbournes meet the Osbournes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was going to die then. Yeah, like I like when he saw Dora around the house and sort of. Yeah, yeah. There'll be this bit like I love the Osbornes. Like the one rather than reality is the first proper decent reality TV show. I had a little bit of substance to it because he's so lovable.
00:06:38:10 – 00:06:57:18
And then you get these strange kids are all so sort of half English, but also like, it was an interesting dynamic, an interesting to watch, but it'd be some whether they might be interviewing Kelly Osbourne or one of the others and it just to shuffle in the background. And I thought if he was off his tits, I don't know.
00:06:57:18 – 00:07:15:19
But it looked like he was knocking on death's door then that was like 30, 12, 25 years ago. He said he was, stoned throughout the majority of filming that. Well, you know. Yeah. Smoking, I like it, but I bet you'll have a little meth as well. A little pill? Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Who's nicked my beers?
00:07:15:19 – 00:07:47:19
That one. And Sharon's like, no, that. I was just, just it's just, he's just trying to say anything, but you're the beer face. You're the father. He was a they've got so much money. Like they don't have to be nicking these beers. But, yeah, it was funny that that's like, all the kind of outpouring for him and the, the bands that have spoken about Ozzy and how down to earth he was and how he's trying to, you know, nurture them as musicians and stuff like that.
00:07:47:19 – 00:08:10:16
I dunno, for me, like, I'm not I, you know, I didn't post rip Ozzy and stuff, but he is in my list of people that I'm like, I'm fucking glad he's one of us, you know? I mean, he's like a proud for me. He's a proud export. And I'm glad that. I'm surprised you. I didn't even know that you even give a shit about him at all.
00:08:10:18 – 00:08:32:08
Really? Yeah, I didn't, I didn't I mean, I know I'm, Yeah, man, I'm a little bit, where's this coming from? Do you want to hear another funny thing? When I went to L.A., I found out where he lived, and I've got a fight outside his house. Once. Do think you're that much into it? Yeah. Did you listen to Black Sabbath?
00:08:32:10 – 00:08:54:13
Yeah. They're na na na na na na na na na na na. That's the only one I know I don't like I was, I was never really into all that stuff. Yeah. I mean, you know, not the, the biggest fan, but, certainly listened to loads of their tracks and I'm like, I yeah, I just, I just, I just felt.
00:08:54:19 – 00:09:20:08
Yeah. Again. Yeah. I mean, like Hulk Hogan, it's it's not weird. Is it, that a lot of the WWE lot, they die early? No, I mean, because steroids and, you know, if you watch this is brilliant. Everyone'll know this, but there's a brilliant, Netflix series about Vince McMahon and that anyone who grew up watching WWF beforehand.
00:09:20:10 – 00:09:44:03
Yeah, will love this. Did you watch it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So good. Right? Oh, hang on a second. I might be getting mixed up there. There was, a documentary series that I watch called The Dark Side of. No, it's not that. It's something. All right. Part, series essentially about how Vince McMahon built the WWF up to modern day, and he chronicles it through.
00:09:44:05 – 00:10:03:22
And because, you know, you people of our age, it's like a nostalgia trip. Like I was watching it guy, and I feel like a kid again. It was he had a and the thing is, is he's learning like a looming sort of scepter of is that right? Right. What, specter it's about the fact that, you know, he abused loads of women, right?
00:10:03:24 – 00:10:24:12
And you kind of like. Well, what? Vince? Yeah. Vince is a fucking. Yeah. Lawsuits. And, so you're watching this series and you're like, I'm loving this. Yeah. Let's just not don't get to that bit because I don't look over there. Yeah. You focus on this bit here. I just this is fascinating. And I feel like I'm a kid again and I don't want to the end.
00:10:24:14 – 00:10:44:09
That's. It's like mum dying at the end. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. That's so, Yeah. Hulk Hogan like as a kid. And I loved Hulk Hogan, and I loved I liked Ultimate Warrior most. Yeah. And and, it was them to win it. It was here. It was Ultimate Warrior. But as I found out, I spent time.
00:10:44:09 – 00:11:03:23
For me, it was Ultimate Warrior. But speaking to cow is that apparently wasn't a very good wrestler. He didn't he wasn't actually good at the art of wrestling. Who? Hulk Hogan, ultimate warrior, ultimate warrior. So that really, you know, like there is a ring esthetic there. I, I cannot get my head around wrestling or especially I'd also watch it.
00:11:03:23 – 00:11:23:00
I just and there are so many out there so I, I well I'm in the minority you you've done you've done quite a few podcasts and wrestling and I'm, I'm fascinated by it. Like I'm fascinated by everything that surrounds wrestling until the point where they actually get in the ring. And I think it's the most stupid thing on earth.
00:11:23:02 – 00:11:47:08
Yeah. Isn't it? Do they, you know, they root like, you know, they have matches. Is it a match where they say, right, Ultimate Warrior today you'll be in Hulk Hogan and they say, okay, we'll get to that point and we'll do it in 15 minutes. Yeah. Or is it like rehearsed? Do they just go through a huge array of rehearsals?
00:11:47:10 – 00:12:11:23
Okay. I will tell you about, I would imagine it isn't rehearsed move by move that they have sections that they kind of have in terms of muscle memory. So they might say, yeah, it's constantly talking to each other. So like if you got a suplex and you go and they'll do it and, and I'm going to bounce off the rope clothesline and I think that they just build the show up with these segments I think I don't really know.
00:12:12:00 – 00:12:32:10
Yeah. So like the bit where Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior were doing that stupid strength test. Yeah, yeah, it's so stupid. But as a kid, I'm like, yeah, yeah. And they just hold each other's hands and then try and kind of power them down. Yeah, all of that stuff would have been planned beforehand, but imagine,
00:12:32:12 – 00:12:53:19
Yeah, the, Yeah. Hulk Hogan obviously they're he's he's a thing that he used to do, the ripping of his vest and back then he, someone said this to me. I can't remember where I might have seen it on Twitter or something, but when we were watching Hulk Hogan, then where his head was bald and he had, like, long hair.
00:12:53:19 – 00:13:14:17
Yeah, he was like. He was like 40 years old. Then he looked fucking a lot older than that. You think he was like your granddad? Yeah, yeah. Really strong granddad. I was looking at him the other day. I'm looking at his hair. Not like when he died and looking at his hair. And it was, Did he, was he actually bald or that he made that haircut?
00:13:14:19 – 00:13:37:07
I, I know that there were bloody haircuts and, like, just to be like, this is, this is why I'm going to do this is going to be my resting. Look, I was really shocked the other day when a mate of mine said, you know, then took great shots. He's. Yeah, yeah, he isn't bald. He can grow hair. He just shaved his head.
00:13:37:09 – 00:14:01:20
Why? But I was shocked because I'm like, oh, your bald. That's why you shave your head. Because you pulled he shaves it because he just likes the look of it. He's got hair and it's inherently has hair. It's just like it's like it'd be like you choosing to shave your head even though you grow your hair. Yeah. I worked with the guy when I was working at Moorfields Eye Hospital, and ever since I known him, when I was working there for like six years, he had a skin it all the time.
00:14:02:00 – 00:14:19:07
Now I call on Facebook. It's got a whole head hair. Yeah, a proper haircut, and I'm not. What the fuck? It's like 20 years later and you've got a haircut. Oh, Donnelly does that as well. He shaved it anyway, so. Yeah. We're lucky. Yeah.
00:14:19:09 – 00:14:27:03
With the jingle. Right. That's the question. There is a.
00:14:27:05 – 00:14:57:23
The night hazy like Band of Brothers playing tunes. High is quiet and midnight waves surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm hit us different ways. Love the music that we played with our tongues in cheek. Band is that we like to speak. And yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers. Hello and welcome to lads anonymous is episode 107.
00:14:58:00 – 00:15:22:00
I'm Ricky Heath, lad, two best mates, one main topic. We answer your life dilemmas and confessions in our feature. Something only you know. And everything remains anonymous always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the podcast. How's it going, Flav? It's good. There's a found a new place in Devizes. Where they sell meat, bone, veggie, meatball and cheese sandwiches or flatbreads.
00:15:22:03 – 00:15:43:12
Paninis? Oh, God no. It existed and I found it yesterday. Dangerous. And I got it. I got it and it is dangerous. And I also got some spicy peri peri mayo. Oh, God. And me. I've got to say, I've never enjoyed a sandwich more in my life. So much. So I'm going to finish recording this. I'm going to go and get another one.
00:15:43:14 – 00:16:11:23
Oh my God. What is so in this veggie like what? What's in the meatballs? Is it like, corn? Not really. Do you not know? Is it just like, one of, like a fake meatball that they've just up themselves? Maggi beef meatball ingredients. It kind of. It just tastes a bit like, you know, it's lentils and kind of vegetables.
00:16:11:23 – 00:16:31:09
Mushrooms, onions, herbs and spices. And it just they just pound it together. So instead of the meat, you know, all the stuff that you guys sort of like you left ground beef for, I think that's what I call it in ground beef in America that they, but they say, yeah, you might have minced or sausage or something. You push it together.
00:16:31:11 – 00:16:58:16
It's the kind of pulses that make up that bit. Right. The binding. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So yeah. Meat. It's good. It's good. I don't think you can really tell much difference between a veggie meatball and a natural meatball. You probably can't really a lot. It's it's about it's mainly about taste isn't it. Like. And if you do kind of enjoy the, the taste of something you're not really like.
00:16:58:17 – 00:17:28:17
I enjoy the taste of a doner kebab. I'm not really like thinking about what it actually is, because if I did, then do you? I mean, you like, do you like falafel and stuff that. Yeah. Me? Yeah. It's so weird because. Not weird. But when I was 23 years old, I moved to North London, Crouch End. And when I met you, it was the first time a I tried falafel and b, I tried halloumi.
00:17:28:23 – 00:17:57:07
Yeah. I didn't know they those things existed, but. Yeah, it's so good. The falafel, halloumi wrap. But the best thing about living in London, the best thing about living in London and working in central London, is going to one of these, Lebanese or Middle-Eastern, sort of pop up kitchens. Right? And then you get a wrap and it's like, it's like hummus spread all over the wrap, falafel, halloumi.
00:17:57:09 – 00:18:18:01
And then those little, they're like, it's turnips. They're purple as purple turnips. Not I mean yeah, yeah, yeah. No I yeah, yeah a bit red cabbage. And also those chilies are sweet. You know, the ones you get in a. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're not getting the kebabs. Yeah, yeah. They're green and they're sweet chilies. They're not spicy.
00:18:18:01 – 00:18:36:09
They have a little tiny bit of kick but it's generally just. Yeah. Tiny. Yeah. Yeah. Made. That is the dream. I used the unlimited day. I used to spend about £400 a month on them. I love them so much. Yeah, see, that was the. That was the first time that I'd come across the word halloumi and falafel.
00:18:36:09 – 00:19:06:04
What's free? I know, I know, I know about any of that. No, I, I know it's fucking weird. It's fucking weird. Before we get before we get into, the show, this is lads anonymous, where we know the lads want to remain anonymous. And we also know you lads want to remain anonymous online. Lads, we've got the perfect partnership, NordVPN.
00:19:06:06 – 00:19:35:07
Now, if you don't know what a VPN is, it's a service that protects your data and online identity whilst you remain anonymous. Whether you are using public Wi-Fi in an airport, Wetherspoons, Mackey days your data and you are protected. I think you guys know by now the vast majority of people listening to this that by slash and I, NordVPN end up to the gills.
00:19:35:07 – 00:20:05:00
Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And we use it. The. So I didn't want to you put my personal I.D. into discord because we're recording this on discord. Yeah. So I just switched to a Belgium, server using NordVPN. It literally took three seconds, and. Yeah, cowboy. And there's other websites they're going to be asking for your your, your, identification saying that you might not want to put your thought into.
00:20:05:00 – 00:20:25:10
So. Exactly, exactly. Now, I do I'd say we all know. So one of the, the other benefits of Nord is that they give you ten devices can be on the account ten now, if you ask me, I think that's a bit too much. I don't even own ten devices. Like in my family. We don't have ten devices.
00:20:25:10 – 00:20:53:11
So you're going to be hugely covered there. Also, Nord has over 8000 servers across 126 countries, so you can change your virtual location easily, just like Flav mentioned. And sadly, discrimination is still prevalent within our society. That Nord is our little equalizer, our pocket rocket, our very own money saving expert. Now this is how I like to use node.
00:20:53:13 – 00:21:22:19
So I set my devices virtual location to different countries to see if I can take advantage of dynamic pricing. This way I can save money on flights, streaming services, and other digital products for way cheaper because I purchase them. Whilst my device was virtually in another region, I can pick up a bargain with the help of Nord. We've turned the table ads on dynamic pricing.
00:21:22:20 – 00:21:56:22
The overlords. We're the fucking captain now. To get this exclusive NordVPN deal, go to Nord vpn.com/labs. It's risk free with Nord's 30 day money back guarantee. Trust me, you won't need it. Oh, so Nord give you four months for absolutely free. The link is going to be in our show description. We'll tweet it if you want that again that's nordvpn.com/lads.
00:21:56:24 – 00:22:28:14
Now flashback to before we, dive in to the show. I sent you over something. I sent you over a little voice note, and I wanted to get your reaction as you play this voice tonight. All the adult content disappeared. Whoa. So you can't read it just cuz I was curious? Can't see any of it. They taking it away already?
00:22:28:16 – 00:22:49:08
Yeah. You got to put your card in and everything. No. Yeah, everything. Crazy. It's all over. Do you know what? Anything that the UK government is doing, I'm like fine, fine, taking that away. But I'm taking it away. They've got to go prove who you are anyway. Well no, I don't want to do that. Let me play the nerd.
00:22:49:10 – 00:23:02:14
Let me play this clip then. Yeah I go yeah, yeah, yeah. Good. Not for love. I like good night flight.
00:23:02:16 – 00:23:11:02
You know, for that I hope you.
00:23:11:04 – 00:23:26:18
It was the guy who came up with the, Sorry. Game. I think it in, like, ten minutes. Wait. No.
00:23:26:20 – 00:23:46:04
I'm. I have no. Do you think you did anything back? He's a he's a living legend. More.
00:23:46:06 – 00:24:07:12
He's, He's our friend. He thinks about me when he goes to bed every night because. Yeah, that is, he came up with the regulator. Yeah, my Maggie Smith. That was legend. Maggie Smith. Do you remember last week when you said, yeah. I say goodnight to Mrs., And you got to say good night to Flavia.
00:24:07:14 – 00:24:33:23
Well, I was listening to that, and I was fucking wet it myself, and I just thought he would just record his voice doing that. But then here it is. Mrs.. In the background. We say you know, ABC. Amazing, right? Today's topic is UFOs and UAPs. What's a UAP? Well, do you know what I was while I read this email out?
00:24:34:02 – 00:24:58:08
So this is going to kick us off this email while I read this email I want you to fire up. Well, suffice ChatGPT, because I want I want to ask. So this email was sent in in listening from the start the first time I've emailed and despite having a few suggestions on subjects covered, then they've just put tri mash with vinegar.
00:24:58:08 – 00:25:24:10
By the way, I have no idea to the context of what that is. It's just if it sounds like a, you know, a pill conversation where you're just talking about football, then you saying, yeah, get the umbrella after, mate. What was it that come from. Yeah. Oh so that's that's right. Okay. So actually very good. Well okay. I've been so my ambassador tells you just random shit that comes out of your mouth.
00:25:24:12 – 00:25:43:23
What must be done on your brain. Yeah, I, I did exactly that. I was, I was in a hotel room, with, a load of, guys. And there was conversations happening, and I was like, I'm rushing hard. And then I stood up and I said, I'll get the umbrella from the car. And like, ten eyes just grabbed it, man.
00:25:43:23 – 00:26:13:18
I was like, oh, and I no, well have, anyway, I'll try to keep this brief scene as you are doing a UFO subject this week. Just a quick heads up that UFOs are now referred to as UAP. Unidentified anomalous phenomena. That's by the US government. There have been a few public hearings, and another one is coming soon, with additional documentaries from highly regarded directors, including Spielberg.
00:26:13:18 – 00:26:37:23
That's coming soon. This subject is a bit of a rabbit hole, but there have been a lot of recent movements within the US with some extreme, the high level government military figures coming forward. They've fravor group. I don't know who these people are, as well as one of the world's leading scientists, Doctor Gary Nolan. Really, I just want to give you the best possible start on this subject.
00:26:38:01 – 00:27:07:18
I work as a digital forensic specialist, and I'm extremely and I'm an extremely logical person. There's a lot that doesn't make sense, and being a UFO up UAP doesn't mean it needs to be alien, as cool as that would be. But this phenomena has been around for years and I simply don't believe there is smoke without fire. And they've listed a few cases here of, you know, alien UFO spot spotting, this.
00:27:07:19 – 00:27:34:18
And then they've this documentary is widely deemed as the best introduction to the subject. The James Fox phenomenon documentary. It's on YouTube and you can watch it. They've also signed off with my partner is from Brazil, and she says that people in Brazil, the UFO subject isn't taboo. It's simply accepted as being real. This is not restricted to just America, as most people would have you believe.
00:27:34:20 – 00:27:58:24
Sightings appear all over the world. Now this person sounds like they are. They're in with I mean, they're a digital forensic specialist. They say. So they came doors. You got like, you going to university I think. Well I yeah I think a self-proclaimed I'm not I'm not I'm not just. You know like sometimes like you think like,
00:27:59:01 – 00:28:19:12
And it's not him obviously that he probably is what he says he is, but yeah, somewhat. Sometimes online people might give themselves a title and you're like, oh, wow, that's really impressive. But like, you're not allowed to give yourself titles. You have to earn the title by studying, I think. Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure. Like this guy could let us know, right.
00:28:19:12 – 00:28:42:12
Let us know exactly what's what. But, like, and there's a difference in there is like being fascinated by something, is a healthy thing. As long as he, you know, you stay within the realms of reality. And wanting to believe in, you know, extraterrestrial life. Or, as he said, sometimes it isn't. That's just unexplainable. That's great.
00:28:42:12 – 00:29:01:14
Yeah, man. It's exciting. It's fascinating. Yeah, it's not wrong with that. All I do have a slight exception, though, that in Brazil they just believe it to be true. Everyone agrees. Yeah, I did, I did figure that out when I was reading. It's not taboo, the base, it's just real when it. Yeah, but ain't real is it? Is not real unexplainable.
00:29:01:14 – 00:29:28:14
No. Yeah. Never reports UFO because it's just it happens all the time. Yeah. Like catching a taxi just happens. You know, Ricky, I don't know if these sets up this episode very well, but I genuinely think it, if someone said how we found aliens, there was alien life. Yeah. I don't think I'd feel anything inside, really. They wouldn't be, be like, oh.
00:29:28:16 – 00:30:01:12
And then, start recording another podcast? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Would you like this? There's stuff like, for example, the, the I've never mentioned this before, but there's this thing called telepathy tapes. It was a really popular podcast last year. Yeah. You mentioned it. Yeah, yeah. So it's about how autistic people communicate with each other. And they do it telepathically and they have set up studies or experiments that are very difficult to disprove if, if you believe in it.
00:30:01:12 – 00:30:26:01
Right. So, for example, they there's tons in this series of podcasts of, of experiments have done to just try and prove that what these kids are doing, these people are doing is communicating telepathically, and some of them can communicate directly with their mothers. I think that said, this last week, no. But anyway, if you're listening to the podcast, there's two things are real evil.
00:30:26:01 – 00:30:50:24
It's real or the whole thing. The whole pod is a set up to make you believe it's real. So it's almost like it's like there which fear is. Yeah. And so they make you think it's real, but none of it's real. And and I and and I did some research and it isn't that so the only possible explanation is if it's if it isn't a trick then it's real.
00:30:51:01 – 00:31:14:14
So I've spent five, eight hours listening to this and I'm like, if this is true, that means telepathy is true. That means we can communicate with our minds or certain people can. Yeah. But when I finish listening to a podcast, I didn't really think about it again. And that is my you're like, saying that literally magic. Human beings are capable of magic.
00:31:14:16 – 00:31:36:24
But then you just. So then you've got to do the shopping and then you got the money in for a chat. It's not. Yeah. So how is it? Is it really like. Yeah. You know, shows up now you look at the window, you're like, fuck me. And then you hack on. Yeah, you did, you did. You got to get on with life.
00:31:37:03 – 00:31:59:10
Yeah. But, mate, when you sent me that video of that great white yesterday, like there is, there generally isn't many shark videos that I go, fuck yeah. That shark was so big. Yeah. Like you said, he goes, I was like, nothing like a reality check when the 5.5m submarine turns up, there on this fishing boat, and there is a great white that is so big, you should post it.
00:31:59:10 – 00:32:25:04
Me? It's insanely big. Yeah, it's the way that I, It goes past. They spotted the shark, spots them, and then it goes off into, you know, to the deep blue sea. And then it turns, comes back and it comes back and you're like, it knows we're here. And then it's supposed. And then it goes for the boat and you're like, why would you go out to sea on that, mate?
00:32:25:04 – 00:32:44:00
It's I just can't fucking get my head around this. The tunnels that go out on a fucking kayak, they're the ones that I can't get. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, the way great whites hunt. If they come from below the ambush predators. Right? So you don't see a great white until it's hit you. Yeah. Or you might see one that's circling you.
00:32:44:02 – 00:33:05:21
Yeah. Figuring out what what to do. You might come in for an explosive bite, but that isn't to eat. It's it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless they're really hungry. Like there's video evidence of people that have gone into the sea, when they're far out in the ocean. And they're like Navy Seals or some not Navy Seals like they're in the Navy and they just as it's like there's this thing where they stop the boat and everyone goes for a swim in the middle of the ocean.
00:33:05:21 – 00:33:21:12
Why the fuck anyone would want to do that. It'd be on the reel before the great white one. Was it that one? Yeah. Yeah. A woman with a leg bitten off. Yeah. So that is what exactly I'm talking about. It seems to be doing rounds again because I watched it the other day. Yeah. See that instance? She was bitten by Great White in the in the ocean.
00:33:21:12 – 00:33:46:05
That is so like she is so unlucky. And what probably happened is that that shark hadn't eaten for months maybe. Yeah. And so it was just famished. And so it I. Oh yeah. So because what you watch there isn't what typical great white behavior. So if it was like a tiger shark 100% but great whites. No. So if you're in a kayak wreck and a great white.
00:33:46:05 – 00:34:05:20
Yeah, you're right, you're out there. Yeah. You are going flying, you know, going flying. And the kayak will be smashed to pieces as well. So you'll just be bop bop bobbing up and down. You've got to remember the video. Tiger shark, Tiger shark for me. Yeah, he's on me. He's in the kayak. Apparently. Yellow color yellow tiger sharks don't like.
00:34:05:20 – 00:34:34:03
Apparently. Right. Tiger shark. Yeah. Tiger shark around me I see. Yeah. And as well. Yeah. Sorry, mate. About the pod. That's nice. Right. It's fine. What was I going to do? Oh that's it ChatGPT. Yeah, we're going to ask a, why did the US government shift from saying UFO to UAP? Okay, yeah.
00:34:34:05 – 00:35:06:22
Why did the US government shift from saying UFO to UAP? The shift from using the term UFO unidentified flying object to UAP. Unidentified aerial phenomenon was mainly to get away from the stigma and all the pop culture associations that the term UFO carries. UAP is seen as a more neutral and scientific term which can help encourage more serious discussion and investigation without the baggage of conspiracy theories.
00:35:06:24 – 00:35:17:04
And what is the statistical likelihood of the of aliens living in our universe?
00:35:17:06 – 00:35:37:02
That's a big question, and it really depends on the assumptions we make. One of the most famous ways to think about it is the Drake equation, which factors and things like the number of stars, the fraction of those with planets, the number of planets that could support life, and so on. Because we don't have exact numbers for these factors, estimates vary wildly.
00:35:37:02 – 00:35:59:16
So some scientists believe that the probability of intelligent extraterrestrial life is relatively high, given the vast number of planets in the universe, while others think it's quite rare. So we don't have a definitive answer yet. So, Rick, you wouldn't have heard any of that. But, so to answer your question, they moved to UAP to, get away from the stigma of UFO, basically.
00:35:59:16 – 00:36:19:17
So that actual genuine research can be done without the kind of stigma that's attached with UFO, because people think if I were interested by quacks and stuff like that. Yeah. Fair enough. I mean, have you ever seen. And it seems to be working a bit too big. So she's still there. Oh, I see, I've turned it off now.
00:36:19:19 – 00:36:39:05
Well, what do you say if I ever seen anything like that? Have you ever seen a UFO? Is there anything where you've been standing on a beach, in a garden? Whatever. And you're like, that's not a UFO. But I can't explain it. Or you've seen something like that. Nah, no, nothing like that. No, I've seen, I've seen.
00:36:39:10 – 00:37:07:09
Oh, well. So a good example, would it be I know it, I know what it was. So I didn't see anything but, where we live, there's, we're next to the Salisbury Plains, where basically most of the exercises that are carried out by the Army in the South will take place on the Salisbury Plains. So when you're driving through them, there's red flags everywhere, which means the exercises are happening and you might see tanks rolling across the, the road that you're driving on and stuff like that.
00:37:07:10 – 00:37:34:06
Yeah. And at nighttime, they do, they do. They fire flares up into the air that just hang. They just hang on, illuminate the area. And for the very slowly. And I was a mushrooms, what once with my wife and the things went up in the air and we were like, was that. And then, obviously we managed to eventually work out there, but they were firing flares up for exercises.
00:37:34:08 – 00:37:50:00
But if you didn't know that and you didn't know the area, you would look at them and go, what is that? And you had to explain. Yeah. I mean, I, I haven't seen, to to memory. I have not seen a UFO. There's never been anything where I've looked in the night sky or just in the sky in general.
00:37:50:00 – 00:38:11:01
And so I have no idea what that is. There's been a couple of times where I've been in the back garden, and I can hear, like a low vibration, a rumbling, and I can't see a plane anywhere. And it's crazy and I'm just a bit wigged out by it. And then eventually applying to piers or something. There's an explanation that I can see that that's what's probably caused.
00:38:11:01 – 00:38:32:06
Yeah. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Yeah, loads. I've never had before before coming to wheelchair. I'd never seen one in London. I've never, ever seen one. And I think obviously because of the light pollution in London so significantly, it's difficult to disguise. Typically not black enough. Yeah. No you're right. But out here, we would lie on.
00:38:32:08 – 00:38:51:14
We've got a trampoline. Trampoline. And when there's meteor shower, you just look up and you might see 7 or 8 a minute. No way. Really? Yeah. It's frightening. And also you all you can see is satellites. You can see satellites flying. So it looks like a star in the sky just moving when you come. When you come next time, will you?
00:38:51:18 – 00:39:12:19
If it's a clear night in the summer, we'll have satellite spotting. Yeah, like on the trampoline. That sounds romantic. Yeah. A couple of beers. Yeah, mate. Yeah, I've. I've never seen a shooting star when I go to Ireland. When I go to my missus, family's gaff there. And, you know, they're in the middle of absolute nowhere, so it's pitch black around where they are.
00:39:12:19 – 00:39:35:05
But you can see the stars. Yeah. It's insane. Absolute insane. I've never seen a shooting star. Do you like? I'll just get it out there. Do you believe in UFO? Typically, in any given night, if you. If it's dark enough in the UK, you'll see 6 to 10 shooting stars an hour, bro. That's how many there are up there all the time.
00:39:35:07 – 00:39:50:07
I need to fucking get my eyes tested or something. I need to go and have a proper look. Yeah, and then some nights you can see like this. It's popping off massively. I don't think you can. You won't be in Milton Keynes. You need to be. Yeah, I need to be further out than I. Yeah. What do you say to.
00:39:50:07 – 00:40:15:18
I believe in them. Yeah. Do you believe in UFOs if fight for the. Yeah. Well, I mean, look. Yeah. Both bikes, I mean. Yeah, an unidentified flying object is obviously I believe in them because it's anything that's in the sky flying that can't be explained. So that flare for a bit was a UFO to me. It wasn't until I realized what it was.
00:40:15:21 – 00:40:45:18
So yeah, I believe in them in terms of aliens. Flying them? No. Obviously. No. Like like green Martians with a bubble head and, of long, long fingers. Nah. So. So the reports, they always seem quite old now. Very old, like, you know, quite hard to disprove now. It's really easy to disprove it. Yeah. Information age. I believe, though, that there is going to be life somewhere in the universe.
00:40:45:18 – 00:41:28:03
Like how many millions of billions of stars out there out there? Well, recently, actually, let me just, I think I gotta get that up for me. Jamie. Recent findings suggest these, recent findings suggest a super, exoplanet named K218B may have the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system. Scientists have detected molecules in its atmosphere, including dimethyl sulfide, DMs, a gas produced by life on Earth, primarily by marine organisms like algae.
00:41:28:05 – 00:41:56:18
So they are saying that there's there's a planet out there that is giving off gas, and that only gas can be given off just by living organisms. What? Methane? What? Well, it's dimethyl sulfide. So that, so there has to be, like, if they spot it, that there has to be something. Now, there has to, like, just to eat it.
00:41:56:18 – 00:42:20:23
Just such a vast universe. Like there must be like, we can't be the only ones in the entire universe. I know you need a particularly. You need to be, you know, the position of the earth to the nearest star and the how the solar system operates. All seems to need to be perfect for life to exist, but it can't be the only place it's ever existed.
00:42:21:00 – 00:42:50:09
I mean, when I start thinking about this, it's terrifying, really, isn't it? Because what is going on like there is an entire universe out there and weird speck in it and in there, in there's like 8 billion people that have come out of what a big fucking bang. Yeah, come on. What are you created? Who created it? All the rocks and shit in the fucking universe.
00:42:50:09 – 00:43:12:21
And the stars. Where did they come from? I don't know, see, this is why I'm like, okay, for me, the I want to get rid of that notion of the, the guy with the green bubble head and long fingers and. Yeah, that stuff. But something surely has created us or I just don't, you know, now and then the other thing.
00:43:12:21 – 00:43:47:23
This is a a thing that, you know, I'm not dead set in by the pyramids, mate. You can't tell me some fucking cat loving hieroglyphics shagging guys and gals got those rocks. There's massive fucking boulders. I don't know how much they weigh in the middle of the desert and formed into a perfect triangle. And all the mathematics that surround it and all the facts that it points to whatever.
00:43:47:23 – 00:44:11:10
And like there's just it's so precise, entirely precise. Like, how did that happen? I do not believe that back then the Egyptians did that. It has to be aliens or something. I cannot I cannot fathom how that has happened. You know how I feel about the pyramids. Yeah. It's just not one down. Let's find out all the secrets.
00:44:11:12 – 00:44:29:24
Open it up like an Easter egg. You got a. That's the only way. Why hasn't anybody done that, though? Why hasn't it been suggested? I don't know, I think it's everyone's precious that it's like one of the wonders of the world. You can't just. I know this is my point. Is, how often do you how often do you spend thinking about the pyramids?
00:44:29:24 – 00:44:47:17
Rick? I mean, not very often what we're talking about .11 percent of your week. Yeah, yeah, or once a year? Twice a year. Right. I've like to go to Egypt one day and then, and then I'll just be like, let's go to Spain. That's that's the end of it. That's what I'm saying. That's that's the case for everybody.
00:44:47:17 – 00:45:11:00
Everybody only thinks about the pyramids 0.1% of the year. Yeah. So if that's all we're thinking about the pyramids, then just not one down. No one really minds who is. There's just some gatekeepers. That thing. Everybody minds. We don't mind. Not one doubt. Just some Egyptians in Egypt saying, don't touch our bloody pyramids. Get it? Yeah, yeah, but we're not touching all of them all.
00:45:11:01 – 00:45:33:18
We were just touching one of them. We want to find out what's inside. We want to find out. So those columns are underneath. Yeah. Now not one not one down. But people get over it so quickly. Yeah. Well people are more or less over the Twin Towers now. Yeah. And that was like 3000 people died. Yeah. It's about on that one.
00:45:33:18 – 00:45:55:12
Yeah. Some people. Yeah comics make fun of that now. So I'm saying I say all this time we've been making fun about knocking one of the pyramids down, but no one died. Yeah. And you'll be able to see as well. Yeah. That. Yeah, exactly. Aliens did it. Now we were talking about the C earlier. More than 80% of the world's oceans remain unexplored.
00:45:55:14 – 00:46:25:05
While we have mapped out a significant portion of the seafloor, particularly using sonar, much of the deep ocean remains unobserved and unstudied next year. While it may seem counterintuitive, it is widely accepted that we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Despite the vastness and mystery of space, we have a we have better maps and a more comprehensive understanding of its features, particularly when compared to the deep ocean floor.
00:46:25:07 – 00:46:50:14
We shouldn't be looking out. We should be looking in, find out what's going on in the sea. Right? Well, 80% is what the fuck is down there. 80% is quite unexplored. Quite tricky to explore though, isn't it? Yeah. Is. We know about we did a whole podcast on the old, Titan, didn't we? Yeah, exactly. Who knows? He gets you squishy hahahahahahahaha, mate.
00:46:50:14 – 00:47:19:09
No, it's freaks me out. The Mariana Trench. Yeah, yeah. That is, that's some fucking. Do you know where it is? Where is it now? Now, I don't it is, it's sort of south of Japan and north of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Oh, that way, is it? Yeah. And there's justice. They've just. There've been pinging out sonar right.
00:47:19:11 – 00:47:44:05
And and mapping the, the floor of the ocean. And then the suddenly justice trench, the only one in the Bible that just goes deep, deep, deep, deep down. That is fucking freaky to me. Yeah, that is freaky. Like, I mean, so the sea is unexplained and everything, but we know more about space, so why is it that so?
00:47:44:05 – 00:48:10:02
Surely that is. Like, I don't know what I'm trying to say. Now, if we know more about space and surely we would know if UFOs existed or an aliens existed. You know what I mean? I guess it takes so long, doesn't it, to in space. Yeah. They you on the other side of space over there. You're waiting for messages and shit from them.
00:48:10:04 – 00:48:29:03
It takes like 4000 light years and you're like, oh, yeah, the point is, it's taking too long. It takes too long. Imagine me being like, hey, you're like your scientist, right? And you pinging out messages. And we started pinging out messages to check for extra, extra satellites in 1956. But it hasn't gotten to the star yet. Like, why?
00:48:29:05 – 00:48:49:13
Yeah. Why bother? Just go. Why don't we probably never find out? Let's just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. You're right. Probably concentrate on curing the common cold. That might be more useful than pinging out plugins, sonar to the far reaches of the universe, waiting for it to land. Get rid of cancer. That's a start. Do that first. No, it's.
00:48:49:13 – 00:49:13:11
Well, like with, the moon landings, like I am. I'm not deep in the kind of conspiracy theories at all. I just don't believe that they happened. Like in the 1960s. The technology, I just I just don't think that it happened. Why? Why have we not gone back there? I think there's some, There's some, talk of that.
00:49:13:14 – 00:49:33:06
They lost some of the technology and then also that it's too expensive. You got Elon Musk firing a shuttle into space every fucking week, and people are saying that you can't get to the moon. Well, I don't believe that. I don't believe we ever went that, do you not? No, I don't care whether we went in there or not.
00:49:33:06 – 00:49:56:23
But yeah, but but you think we we went to the moon. I feel like we probably did. Yeah. I'm not like if someone went. No, no. Like if you're passionate, if you're, if you're passionate about the moon landing not happening to the point where you really want to tell me why it didn't happen, I find you more irritating than the people who lie to us.
00:49:57:00 – 00:50:41:03
Yeah. It's not. I mean, yeah, yeah. I'm not I'm not that deep into it. I just don't believe that happen. Do you think he's. Well, like, with UFOs, do you think the government are actually covering up technology or that an AI like, you know, the most famous incident I suppose, is Roswell. Where in America there was a I think it was in the 60s or some shit like that, apparently, a spaceship crashed and they found the spaceship, there was alien life form, and I think a press release went out that they found it, and then everything was retracted, and it was just, they said it was, a blimp or hot
00:50:41:03 – 00:51:07:22
air balloon or some shit. Yeah, but they still believe that there is something that actually crashed that was out of this world. No, I don't I, I don't want to cover now. Fever. I don't know why would they. I don't know that there's been this it but it but maybe but then you'd think, right. Well, people might have some sort of existential crisis and about gods and religion and religions used to control the masses to some degree.
00:51:07:22 – 00:51:29:12
And so it would there be that plus and some sort of societal breakdown. So we should cover this up and one should cover it up is probably better to keep it covered up and say, oh, we covered this up before. Sorry, I don't know. Like you like very 51 is quite interesting. You're not allowed there. So why aren't you allowed there?
00:51:29:14 – 00:51:49:03
That's right. Yeah. So I don't think there's some aliens there, but they're doing something that they don't want people to know about. Is it testing weaponry? Is it because the strange lights and stuff and moving around that area. So one, I don't think it's aliens, but they're probably testing new weaponry or new vehicles on we're not aware of.
00:51:49:03 – 00:52:10:10
Maybe. Well, the the conspiracy around area 51 is that they have the technology that has arrived from not of this world, and they're trying to understand it. They're trying to work out what it is, where it's come from, replicate it, and that's why it's so secretive. But yeah, I don't believe so. I think yeah, I think you're probably right.
00:52:10:14 – 00:52:34:11
It's just like the US Army testing out their own shit, you know? I mean, and they just don't want any prying eyes. According to the BBC, area 51 was created during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, is a testing and development facility for aircraft including the U-2 and SA seven one Blackbird. Right, reconnaissance planes, which I'm presuming on the drone bombs.
00:52:34:13 – 00:53:13:07
Yeah, like nukes and do scouting and spy and open in 1955. His existence was only a officially acknowledged by the CIA. In August 2013. What, four months after the CIA's disclosure, President Obama became the first US president to mention area 51 publicly. See, this is yeah, I mean, this feeds into it. Although official information is sparse, it is believed the US military continues to use area 51, develop cutting edge aircraft, although 1500 people are believed to work there, many commuting on chartered flights from Las Vegas.
00:53:13:09 – 00:53:32:20
And he Jacobsen, who has written about the history of area 51, told the BBC that some of the world's most advanced espionage programs are at the sites. Area 51 is a test and training facility. The research began in the U-2 spy plane in 1950 50, and has now moved on to drones that field, more likely than them currently.
00:53:32:22 – 00:54:01:04
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there is a lot of that stuff I did there was let me just find it now, because I thought it was quite interesting. So the, the most famous kind of sites or UFOs that have been spotted. So have you heard of USS Nimitz, the Tic TAC encounter? No. So the Tic TAC encounter is in 2004, USA.
00:54:01:06 – 00:54:33:15
What happened? Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz encountered a white oblong object, Tic TAC, off the coast of San Diego. It performed hypersonic maneuvers and disappeared instantly. Like, what is that? That's like a grainy sort of black and white footage. Well, I mean, it's it's 2004, and Navy pilots have reported it, so it must be, things like this.
00:54:33:15 – 00:55:02:01
I can only assume, like you're saying, about area 51, that is where a lot of testing happens, and they have to test it somewhere. And when they do test it, it gets spotted. Now another one 1997. So it's a bit older. Phoenix lights thousands of people across Arizona, including the governor. So massive V shaped lights silently flying overhead.
00:55:02:03 – 00:55:37:03
That's another famous one. So I don't really again be like it was probably a I would imagine that would have been a plane. Something like like, I'm looking at the lights. This is thousands of people across Arizona, including the governor. I mean, the governor sees it some. It's up. Yeah, but I'm not. I would say that there's more logical explanation rather than one it being like, we don't know what it is, which is making it interesting, but it probably the truth is much less boring, much more boring.
00:55:37:05 – 00:56:00:22
That's what my cynical mind would say, right? Okay. All right. What I'm going to do is I'm going to finish this off. I've got an email here. It's quite long, but it is of someone's, experience. And I just want you to, you know, give your two thoughts on it. Love the pod. And thank you for brightening up some pretty shitty commute to work.
00:56:00:24 – 00:56:30:13
Thank you very much. I have a story that I've told you a few people over the years, and it gets mixed responses from, wow, that must have been scary to you. Full of shit. Some background first, I don't believe in anything spiritual, paranormal, etc. I'm pretty levelheaded and tend to always see that logical explanation in most things. For nearly 20 years I've worked for a large tour operator as a destination manager, so I used to manage holiday reps, kids clubs, entertainers.
00:56:30:13 – 00:56:56:16
Basically, I got paid to travel the world and live in some amazing places. One of these amazing places was Cape Verde. This is where my story takes place. One of the most stressful days when doing this job was always arrival and departures. Long shifts at airports and in shirt and trousers when it's 40 degrees being shouted out because someone's flight is delayed or their baggage is overweight, is always a day that most workers would dread.
00:56:56:18 – 00:57:18:09
One of these days was when the storm, the beast from the East hit the UK and flights in and out with delayed or canceled after the ship shift. I drove home in my little company, fear to my apartment near the beach, got changed and walked to the beach to look at the stars, sit on the cold sand and chill out before I hit the sack.
00:57:18:09 – 00:57:39:21
It was about 2 a.m., not a soul around and the sound of the sea and the lights of the moon and stars shining off the sea was always a good remedy to a bad day. It's when to go. I mean, we'll get to that, but it's 2 a.m. on your own, in the pitch black on a beach, but that thought that was I mean, fuck yeah in Cape Verde.
00:57:40:02 – 00:58:05:21
Oh, and Cape Verde, if you don't know, it's literally in the middle of the Atlantic and isn't close to anything other than a neighboring islands. Fuck that light. That's how you're winding down. That's your first problem. Fuck that. This particular night, I'm just this particular. Yeah, it's insane in it. Who? What? What? Yeah. It's like right in the middle of the fucking.
00:58:05:21 – 00:58:32:01
Well, no. So it's. So how far would you say that was? About 100km off the off the coast of Africa. And there's just a little island there, but, yeah. You have. Yeah. Fuck that noise. This particular night, I was at this scrolling Twitter with a Fanta lemon, and I noticed it got very, very dark. Like it was dark already, but you can't see your hand in front of your face.
00:58:32:01 – 00:58:54:16
Dark. I looked up and I noticed I couldn't see the moon. It just gone. Disappeared. I looked around at the stars look particularly brighter as I focus my eyes towards the direction of the moon. I noticed I could see the reflection of the moon on the ocean, but not the actual moon itself. It was like something was blocking my view.
00:58:54:18 – 00:59:22:06
At this point I was really confused as I looked up towards the direction of the moon again, I realized that there was a large cube like object blocking the moon. The only way I can describe it is that a large pixel was missing out of the sky, and that the moon wasn't rendering properly the cube was huge. I'd say at least two football pitches must have been about half a mile away from me.
00:59:22:08 – 00:59:52:03
The blackest of black that I could describe, like I can't quite put into words. It was like negative. It wasn't three dimensional. I can't really describe it. Still, to this day. At this point, my Apple Watch got really, really hot and the screen went totally white, as if it was completely overwhelmed with electricity. My ears started to hurt and ring and the feeling in my teeth started to her as if I was biting down on metal.
00:59:52:05 – 01:00:24:04
I tried to stand, but my legs wouldn't let me, like I was being pushed down by double or triple the gravity. I actually thought, shit, this is bad and I'm alone on a beach. My eyes were watering and all I could hear over the ringing over the ringing ears was a deep drone, like a really loud version of what a microwave sounds like when it's cooking the cube like object all of a sudden, reduced in size by at least 50%, I could make out the moon behind it.
01:00:24:06 – 01:00:51:01
It's like the noise came back and I was no longer under the pressure of whatever I could feel. Then, in literally less than a blink of an eye, accelerated straight up into the clear night sky. I can't describe how fast it was, but usually you can follow something with your eyes. This just went up and disappeared. Now it goes on to some other bits and pieces, but what do you think of that?
01:00:51:03 – 01:01:26:03
I mean, it's unexplainable, isn't it? I like, I like this idea that there is this there's something else that exists, that we aren't. This isn't the end. And then there is another realm that exists outside of our reality. Yeah. And maybe these things are seeing that world is superior, and it advanced in ways that we couldn't fathom so much is that we don't even need our bodies anymore, and we just exist in this plane of energy and it's conscious.
01:01:26:05 – 01:01:44:09
And maybe that we it's that realm depending to us. If I was to maybe write a story about it, that's what kind of I'd go for two way of explaining it. Maybe, but God knows what. We went, oh, was he half asleep? And he dreamt it. The name. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if he's sitting on the beach flat.
01:01:44:11 – 01:02:09:02
No, but there is this kind of like with UFOs. There is that description of a cube in the sky and shooting off. That is quite a common thing that people have seen of. So it's it's weird, isn't it? I just find it like talking to you. And I think we're both kind of not skeptical of UFOs, but there's more of a logical explanation behind a lot of these cases.
01:02:09:02 – 01:02:28:00
And more often than not, it's probably military or technology being tried. But if you were seen on that beach on your own at 2:00 in the morning when it's pitch black and your fucking Apple Watch goes burning hot, and then it goes white, and you can hear ringing a mate, that'd be a fucking nightmare, wouldn't it? You just wouldn't do guys.
01:02:28:00 – 01:02:46:24
I'd ever again, pretty much fuck that. And, we haven't got a dilemma this week, but I do have a and another thing and that's going to be. Yeah, that's that's a personal one. Do we need some. We do I think we but yeah. Yeah I think we probably could do you know we'll have a think about what you want and I'll speak to Alex.
01:02:47:01 – 01:03:17:17
What I was going to suggest is before I do it, I want you to create a jingle, sing me a song for, like, 15 seconds. Who, you? Me? Yeah. Now, yes. We've got something funny, you know. And that one is called shitting on Your Own doorstep. The topic for next week is. This is, from a lad in the discord that sent this in regrets and wisdom.
01:03:17:19 – 01:03:47:20
What would you tell your 20 year old self? A love letter to self and motivational speech? What pearls of wisdom would you bestow to your younger self? What would you change, if anything? If you've got any stories or anything that you feel like you would have told your younger self, send it in to lads. Unknown pod at gmail.com and we shall read them out now before we go into something none of you know flab is going to sing na.
01:03:47:20 – 01:04:12:02
How many decades will the jingle let you know? I don't have a thing. How to how to jingle like, This is the jingle for another. No, that it's not very good. It's pretty fun. It doesn't quite capture it, does it? And, I think you I think you probably got the, the musical talent g 100% about.
01:04:12:02 – 01:04:36:19
So. Yeah. So my, my another thing. I've got a fucking Domino's during the week. What was the what that. Oh it was a Tuesday or Wednesday. What made you bought a what, is this because you're cooking and you've already sent it to Domino's already. No no no no no no, the girls suggested it and Mrs.. Yeah, fine.
01:04:36:19 – 01:05:07:20
Let's do it. It's summer holidays. They said the midweek Domino's. Yeah. Bit of a treat. Loved it. 35 pounds for two large pizzas. Fucking. It's a pizza. Domino's pizza. How is that 35 pounds I mean I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll for the four of us it's cost £60. I mean you get four pizzas generally two pieces. It's 35 pounds.
01:05:07:22 – 01:05:35:07
Yeah. It's extortionate right. Yeah. Domino's is the most extortionate takeaway by a country. Mile £2,425 for a pizza and you're like it is bread, cheese, cheese, tomato, tomato sauce and then whatever toppings you want. And it must cost them a maybe to 1.50 pound. It's insane. How are we so accepting this fucking racket of Domino's and all the others?
01:05:35:09 – 01:06:00:18
£35 and another thing, right. But people do it constantly. They pay it, you complain about it and then you pay it like I did. Yeah, I can't like it though. Nothing is shit. What do you think? I mean, as a pizza, as a takeaway. It's it's fine. It's middling. There's a restaurant morale ace across the road. Italian restaurant, the pizza.
01:06:00:18 – 01:06:25:20
You know, the thin. You know what? Yeah, yeah, I'll make that. And that is fucking insulting. Yeah. And you probably get I agree. Yeah, exactly. But it's just mad. I cannot believe how we are so accepting to be bent over a barrel by Domino's or fucking Pizza Hut and pay those extortionate prices. Right. And and another thing as well they call it can hurt it that lovely delicious.
01:06:25:20 – 01:06:47:22
Tim. Why is it so calorific? Surely you can make a dip. That is. How do we get in the dip than the pizza and pizza. I mean you, if you're eating half a Domino's pizza and you're having one of those little dips, you're yeah, you've got to be looking at 1500, maybe 2000 calories. Oh for sure. For sure.
01:06:47:24 – 01:07:07:18
It is insane. I just can't believe it. I can't believe it. And if start I mean and then the other thing is, well, when did the stuffed crust go up to 3.50 pound? It used to be a pound you have in stuffed crust as well. Oh you got a you can't you can't not have a Domino's and not have a stuffed crust that it goes up stuffed crust as well.
01:07:07:20 – 01:07:26:10
Yeah. Yes. And no one like stuffed crust in Rs. What really I do but you because it's almost like another pizza on the side. Yeah I love it. Just because you get the crust and you get to dip the cheesiness in it, what do you what would you average? A mighty meaty. Yeah. That's what the kids have.
01:07:26:10 – 01:07:42:05
Do you have the mushroom yet? I have to take the mushroom. So I swap the mushrooms for, peppers. Oh, no. I like the peppers for the bit of freshness and cut for a, I like I have onion and sweetcorn.
01:07:42:07 – 01:08:10:04
So you can have a. All right. I'll never forget when, my Mrs. and I back in the the glory years of living in Crouch End and we used to get I so stoned that fucking super stones and it was great. And we went to the, to the pizza place, you know, there was that like a pizza place at the top of, where I used to live.
01:08:10:04 – 01:08:30:23
Was it Harold Rhodes up near that way? Yeah, yeah, I wanted to top two pizzas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, we were, like, super stoned. We got our pizza, and we were just, you know, like pigs and shit. Just so happy. High as fuck. Walking back of our pizza, going back to the house. And we were just so just over the moon.
01:08:31:00 – 01:08:50:20
And I opened my lid. The mighty meaty was there, just staring at me, and my missus opened hers and it just had sweetcorn on it just had sweetcorn on a pizza it obviously ordered and being stoned she just said sweet corn instead of the rest of what she wanted. There was cheese, just cheese and sweetcorn on the pizza.
01:08:50:22 – 01:09:10:22
I think she wanted like double ham and sweet. She wanted other stuff. She was so stoned and I didn't notice it that she had ordered the wrong thing and her face, you know, she was so upset that she was like waiting for this pizza. I'd opened it and it was just a sweet face. Volcano might have laughed so hard.
01:09:10:22 – 01:09:29:23
But bless her man, bless her. We're gonna go on to something. And you know, it's a short one, so let's go. Wow. Something, you know.
01:09:30:00 – 01:09:52:08
Shitting on your own doorstep. So in college, I was a bit of a dick. I had an on off girlfriend for a while during an off period, I met a girl. Long story short, I went to her place one night, and the off girlfriend went looking for me and noticed my truck still in the apartment parking lot in brackets.
01:09:52:10 – 01:10:17:08
The other girl lived in the same complex. The next morning she confronted me, asking me where I was instead of just confessing. I made up an extravagant story. My sister, who has epilepsy, had a seizure the night before. My parents had had to come and pick me up to help take care of her. I regret it now, but it is what it is.
01:10:17:09 – 01:10:39:06
That lie has been eating away at me for years, and it feels good to get it off my chest. And that is something. I mean, I, I mean, like what? Like you sleeping with the girl that lives in the as your on off girlfriend. What were you thinking? That's obviously going to come back and bite my man. Yeah.
01:10:39:08 – 01:11:19:12
So yeah I mean like I've got, something only, you know, that alive one when I was in Ireland. Hell, yes. Yeah. Not from someone anybody knows. It was, someone else that joined the party. Okay. We're all a bit mashed up. Yeah. You guys. What you guys, what I did when I was a kid is I got a toilet roll, and I would put, like, stuff in the toilet roll and to make it into, like, a makeshift Fleshlight so that he would basically put this toilet roll around his cock, but inside that you'd have, like, tissue and maybe a bit of set of tape and, maybe this sponge and sort of
01:11:19:12 – 01:11:45:20
makeshift, Fleshlight. But then it didn't stop there. He continued to work on it through the months. So eventually he built it up to have, like, ass cheeks and, and like a bit of a body. And so he every now and then he would bring this thing out that he'd created, and peacocking it and fuck it, basically, until he choked, he worked on it for months.
01:11:45:22 – 01:12:06:10
It just kept getting bigger and bigger and more or more. That is amazing. Yeah, man, with just the diff, which is different. Do you think women do things like that? No. And the other thing is, like, with, like, it was like because everyone was like it was tons of drugs around, like a lot like copious amounts. Oh yeah.
01:12:06:11 – 01:12:26:00
And obviously anyone who's partake in the white powder before knows the event. Inevitably it ends up with your cock in your hand right. Like what? What? What are we talking? What, like you lads, you jacked up and you've all got your cock in your hand. So just when you went back to your own room. Yeah. When you went back to your room.
01:12:26:00 – 01:12:46:12
Just right. Just before you roll around trying to sleep for the next six hours. Yeah. You have a little tuck, then? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, the next day, we woke up and we realized that there were four men in that house. And at the exact same time, when we tied to our bedrooms, we were all masturbating at the same time.
01:12:46:14 – 01:13:10:00
When I heard a class. Yeah. When our class say, class and our class, and that is the end of this week's show. So the topic for next week, Regrets in Wisdom. What would you tell your 20 year old self? A love letter to self? Motivational speech. What? Pearls of wisdom. Any stories that you would, that you want to share?
01:13:10:00 – 01:13:18:10
Send it in to lads anon pod at gmail.com. And until then, we'll see you on Monday. Yeah.
