#96 | Torture And Execution | This HAS To Be The Worst Way To Die

00:00:00:00 – 00:00:27:16
Never. Not almost never. Which is, You know what? One can dream. One can have pipe dreams talking about shit shows. And I know we shouldn't. We? You know, I the political landscape. We try and not talk about that, but the that the the the Trump and Musk stuff is is fucking mental I yeah I mean it was always going to end.

00:00:27:18 – 00:00:51:05
It wasn't it felt like yeah, yeah we all knew that. But the comment of Trump didn't, you know, must give him like hundreds of millions of pounds for his campaign. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Musk. Mustard. Yeah. He was on the. Yeah, yeah. Musk. Yeah. Musk. I know he's gonna now well you know what it anymore. You've done your job and and this is on the back of Trump coming out with massive, massive amount of spending isn't it.

00:00:51:07 – 00:01:18:07
Yeah. So yeah it's well funny I don't know Joe Musk saying that he, he won him the vote. He won in the vote in was it maybe Pennsylvania or some shit like that. That's the keystone. And he's, the main reason that he's in office and stuff. And then they were, just like arguing over Twitter, which is fucking mental.

00:01:18:09 – 00:01:49:08
And Trump saying that, oh, he got loads of, government contracts. And he surprised they went for under Biden. Maybe we should take them away and then must that were if you're going to take them away I'm going to take this away and that away. And then it's like, you know, everything kind of snowballs out of that. And then Musk just comes out and says, oh, the reason why the Epstein Files hasn't come out is because Trump's on there and everyone's like, what the fuck are that crazy?

00:01:49:10 – 00:02:15:09
Oh, there's there's a there's a bit of footage, where this is, he's sitting in front of three, reporters and they're saying, Will you, will you unlock the JFK files and. Yes, yes, yes, we'll do that. We've already done some of that. What about the nine alive? That 911 details? Yes, we'll do that. And the Epstein island, the information there is that there's a moment's pause.

00:02:15:09 – 00:02:33:02
Just enough. Because as human beings, you can see market mannerisms. You can pick up on that stuff as well, attuned to how each how we communicate. There's a moment's pause. Then he goes, yes, I will. He's thinking, how can I read that? My name from that, It's insane. Like no one's surprised. I don't even know what he's worried about.

00:02:33:02 – 00:03:01:20
He's gone through. He's Teflon for Trump voters. He's Teflon. He can do whatever he wants. He's in office now. I know there's a lot of, like, talk about, oh, he'll be impeached and whatever that is. And he's leaving already. I thought, yeah, he's fucking the guy is like it's. But to see it play out as these, you know, professional executive responsible people and I responsible.

00:03:01:20 – 00:03:17:12
But for it to play out over, Twitter like that it's insane is utterly fucking mental. As crazy as.

00:03:17:14 – 00:03:44:05
The night I see, like, Band of Brothers playing Jones high as quiet midnight waves surfing through till daylight breaks rhythm. Here's different ways. Love of music. So I we prayed with our tongues in cheek band as I we like to speak. And yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Promise.

00:03:44:07 – 00:04:08:14
Hello and welcome to large anonymous is episode 96. I'm Ricky, he's Flav, two best mates. One main topic we answer your life dilemmas and confessions and our feature something 19 and everything remains anonymous always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the pod. How's it going, Flav? Yeah, good. Kanye West tweeted at some point recently. He said he said I've walked past.

00:04:08:20 – 00:04:39:09
I refuse free photos with Make-A-Wish kids in wheelchairs today. Like for 111,000 people. Wow. Yeah. He's, I'm becoming more and more fascinated by him. Yeah. He's an he's a he's just trolling the world. He's and I like and because people like the trolling is just getting more power from it, I don't understand I want to say on Twitter and where Hallelujah.

00:04:39:11 – 00:05:00:16
He's changed them all to Hallelujah is now what? Go on Spotify. I listen to it. It's all changed. The hallelujah as he really? Yeah, uncensored bits and stuff. I don't know what he's doing. I don't know why he's doing it, but he's doing it. What's his end game like? I mean, what are you doing tonight? What are you doing?

00:05:00:18 – 00:05:21:00
I know in a lot interviews I've seen, he's wearing like a sock on his head and stuff like that. Like. Well, it's just, you see, these misses just walks around practically nude. I know what's out on that. Yeah, but I'm not. I mean, I'm all for that, but, Yeah. Yeah, it just. Yeah, it just it's just it's very confusing.

00:05:21:00 – 00:05:45:18
Really very confusing. How are you? Yeah. I'm all good, mate. I'm all good, you know? Yeah. So. Yeah, apart from the shit myself, I'm. I'm all good. I'm all good. My. The usual. What, are you just drunk there? What's, The San Pellegrino. Oh, yeah. Nice. Urn. Orange. Yeah. Rosa. Which is blood orange. Sparkling blood orange.

00:05:45:20 – 00:06:05:20
Oh, that sounds that sounds lovely. You know what? The San Pellegrino hype? Nuh nuh Well, I mean, I know about the hype, but no, I've not, you've never partaken. No, it's the best drink out there. It's a little bit pricey, to be honest. But, yeah, it's, that's probably always warded me off really bad because I'm going to die.

00:06:05:20 – 00:06:29:22
Hit. So. Yeah. Exactly, exactly. Do you know what the, the topic is? I they torture equipment. Yeah. Well done. It's going to ask you earlier than I thought. Let me think. And then I remember what it was. Good, lad. Good. I put you in a brazen bow. Would you really, Castle? Wouldn't that be a terrible thing to do if your friend had that horrible thing?

00:06:29:24 – 00:06:51:22
Horrible, horrible thing? What is it about human beings that can create the worst kind of instruments to expound the worst type of pain? Another human being like, how have we got here? I mean, we sort of not there anymore, are we? We've moved away from it, thank God. But there was a period where we were just the world was very godly.

00:06:51:24 – 00:07:23:06
Yeah, yeah. But what actually brought this up, actually, I was going to bring this up later, but let's just fucking do it now. Flagging it or just as, as we're talking. So in terms of torture and execution, right, I will we'll just go off the, the so I have the top ten but we'll, we'll go top four. Can you guess the number one country in the world for top executions.

00:07:23:10 – 00:07:51:01
The most amount of executions. That's still going on in lot. So for these, results for 2024. Wow. There's that many. Yeah. 2024. There are countries still out there that are just like America. So not only so, Oh, I wouldn't know where to start. So I'll just say USA. No, no, they, they're down the list. Iran.

00:07:51:03 – 00:08:10:01
Yeah. Of course. Yeah. You got the older one. Love a bit of stone in over there. I don't know all of are been nine. Not apparently 972 individuals. What's it what does it take to get. What is it? What's what's the method? Hanging. They have a good hangdog love. Love a good hang, ineffective. The old hang, the old hang it in it.

00:08:10:03 – 00:08:33:23
So if you want to dispatch quite quickly and the least amount of clean up like the worst one. The worst one, that's Estonians that fight for that span. Yeah, that is that is what you do. I slept with another man. All right. Fucking put it on the gram stone. Right. That's harder than it is, Matt in there. And you know what the.

00:08:33:23 – 00:09:02:01
So the, the offenses, the most offenses that resulted in the hang in, in Iran, in Iran. Oh, it's theft, no adultery, drug offenses. But try not. They're quite nice. No one's talking about. Good. They'll try something you won't want to, I know, try it. A couple of pills under his tongue. You guys lost it. You will see the last good one of the day.

00:09:02:01 – 00:09:10:24
The last thing I'm going to do is fucking hanged me for not telling you I lost me already. You want to give me a cuddle?

00:09:11:01 – 00:09:30:21
There won't be better off place. Really good. Number two drinking. You could take enough ecstasy to make a hanging bearable. Yes, because you could take an abundance of MDMA and approach the gallows in a good mood. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.

00:09:30:23 – 00:09:41:22
I appreciate the. Your eyes are rolling back there, so I can't. Man, this is fucking rain. I feel I'm praying right now.

00:09:41:24 – 00:09:50:03
The the second country on the list. God have another guy from Saudi Arabia.

00:09:50:05 – 00:10:19:18
Is fucking spot on in. Yeah. Well when he said he runs, they're known for it and they. And is it, is it sort of females getting it. Getting. Dunno. Not again. Drug driving political. Yeah. But they political. Political. Yeah. Uprising. You can say stuff. Yeah I reckon you can understand the drugs to some degree then because they have the power to alter the way you think about what's around you like psychedelics and stuff.

00:10:19:20 – 00:10:46:06
Yeah. It's like they. Yeah, you wouldn't if you wanted to maintain control of a nation. And that way people think you wouldn't want them running around pushing loads of psilocybin. No. But like, you know, a lot of countries in Europe, they some of them are quite liberal and drug taking and there's not like uprising and. Yeah, but there's like fucking chaos going on.

00:10:46:08 – 00:10:54:23
Yeah. True. Yeah. Maybe they should. I mean they're not going to take a leaf out of your book. But do you know what? They're,

00:10:55:00 – 00:11:20:00
Their, favored way of execution is there. Well, in. So is it stone in in Saudi. No, it's not stone in, them. Well, good old fashioned beheading. Straight off. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Yes, it's a good one. It's a classic. Classic. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah. As soon as just thought of that, I thought of chemically. Yeah.

00:11:20:02 – 00:11:44:14
Well, look, have you ever watched Ken Bigley? Yeah, I have, and I've done it. Well, question. Of course you have. Yeah. I'm sure I've told this story before. And you know what? I don't even know if it was Ken beginning, but I think I think it was. So I used to go round and mates house, and we all used to, like, smoke and be round there till like, two, three in the morning, stoned up on.

00:11:44:16 – 00:12:06:11
And everyone had gone home by this point. And normally I'd stay over at my mates house and that and my, my other mate there he was sleeping, and he's to have all types of girls on his phone, like, you know, sex girl. And I was just us feeling a bit, you know, what's wanted to hold on now we'll see for your mates phoned to bash one of us, so I knew he had like, loads of videos on his phone.

00:12:06:11 – 00:12:27:00
So I wonder because he was asleep and I thought, I wonder what, what section is he's got on his phone. He's a pin numbers at this for, for like security. Yeah. Oh for sure, for sure. So the first video it was just numbers. That's what it is named for. You know, they didn't have any title, so I'd already had the semi on and just needed a little bit of encouragement.

00:12:27:00 – 00:12:37:21
And the first video that I clicked open, it was a beheading and I was like, that's put me right off. Yeah, yeah. And it was like, you stopped wanking.

00:12:37:23 – 00:13:01:08
Liked faster. But it was like it was the noise. Do you know, I mean, of the the loss of oxygen, the choking, the blood coming out. I was like, oh, my God, I will never, ever forget this sound, that moment. It is. It was grim. Yeah, I think I've used it. Have you seen it? Never would watch it.

00:13:01:13 – 00:13:11:05
I'm not into that. I'm not. I don't understand why people are that. It's a morbid curiosity. That's it. I've watched the Egypt shark attack a few times. About 50 times.

00:13:11:07 – 00:13:37:05
But that's because it's from a sort of education point of view, right? Yeah. But then you talked about the sound, the sounds, always what we're saying with people. Oh, it's the guy's screaming for his dad who's on the beach watching, and it's Tiger Shark is just tearing him to pieces. What would you have done? Like, would you have tried to get in the water and tried to do some and about if he's like, he's like 200ft from shore, there's nothing you can do.

00:13:37:05 – 00:13:58:04
Yeah. I mean, you'd like to think so, but you'd be much better off trying to find some of a boat, although there was a boat that when nearby, it would just happened so quickly, especially of a tiger shark. I don't fuck around. They're not like. They're not like once they've they once they've taken a by it, they're not leaving you.

00:13:58:06 – 00:14:18:09
Whereas other sharks might go, oh that's not, that's not seal. You don't have any taste, right. That's not right. It was tiger shark. It's like everything taste right to a tiny shark. Like everything. And there's a big one as well. Yeah, yeah. Horrible. Yeah. I, I was chatting with my daughter the other day, and I was like, why?

00:14:18:09 – 00:14:39:18
I was chatting, what we were chatting about, but I think we were just talking. Oh. Her friend went to Lanzarote during half term. I thought adventurer, one of those reasons, she said where it is. Yeah. She said yeah. And recent half term and she said them. Where is that? And I said, I'm not particularly sure. I think it's an island, it's a Spanish island.

00:14:39:18 – 00:15:05:08
But I think it's close. It's like maybe of Portugal. So I don't know how Spain have claimed it checked. It's fucking literally a stone's throw from Africa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's in the Atlantic. I some big, big old sharks area, mate. And I told you that story in Tenerife when I was like 17 and swimming, like, naked and floating in the same one of those floating things at like five in the morning.

00:15:05:10 – 00:15:30:12
Yeah. Great idea. Yeah. That's not a good idea, is it? No. Well, look, I mean, look, you could probably do that 400 times and. Yeah, not even go near a shark. So probably. I'm sure you will find, mate. Did you see, you know, Martha's Vineyard know when I say that? Is it? No. Martha's vineyard, this is where.

00:15:30:14 – 00:15:53:19
So I'm just Google it. Just make sure I'll it. Right. That's all right. I just want to say, third is Iraq and the most is terrorism charges and fourth is the United States. So they're up there still. Yeah, it's a massive country in it. The so Martha's Vineyard is an island where they filmed jaws, but is also in Massachusetts.

00:15:53:20 – 00:16:24:13
But it's also, to seal a Seal Island. And great whites are often seen there. No. Like towards the effect of north sort of north west of America and New York. Yeah. Anyway, this bloke so raise awareness did a 400 or 40 hour swim to raise awareness for sharks in essentially what is great white territory. Well and well, cage or no cage, just free swimming in the water.

00:16:24:15 – 00:16:48:07
Okay. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like, I get what you're doing. I'm sure everybody knows now that you shouldn't feel great whites. What? What are you gaining from this. Because one of them is going to go on that. Oh no, no, don't eat him. One of them might just be angry or sick or something smashed into pieces. Then you could tie cause he's done everyone's life but these great white.

00:16:48:09 – 00:17:15:06
You. I don't get it. No, I yeah, I couldn't think like even if like people were swimming the the channel. England, France I'll still be on it on that. Get a cage on me. He's done. He he's already. Lucy. The client was on. He she swam the channel. Yes. The channel. But maybe five years ago. That is fucking mental.

00:17:15:06 – 00:17:37:05
Never, never, never, ever in a million years do that. It's insane. Yeah. Why not, I can't lie. Oh my God, that's mad. What a fucking thing to say to people. They. You know, I fucking swam the channel and I. But do you think so? Is it even big enough to even say it's like it is amazing. I don't think people give you the props for it.

00:17:37:07 – 00:17:53:04
Do you know what I mean? You should get more credit. Oh, he's from the channel. It's like. It's like the same level as running the marathon. No one cares if you run a marathon. And all you do is all you talk about in the marathon. I yeah, definitely like I don't sometimes I'm training for marathon, I don't care.

00:17:53:04 – 00:18:08:05
It doesn't make me feel anything. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you finish it. If you give up halfway. I couldn't care less about your marathon. I'm not going to donate because so many people do it. Millions of people run marathons. All it's enough. It's going for a long is a big run. And you walk it if you want it.

00:18:08:07 – 00:18:25:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For money. Fuck you. You ain't walking to the chat. You ain't walk in the chat, Oya. And the only reason, yeah. The only reason you're doing the marathon, the only reason you're doing the marathon is it isn't for the cherry. You just want to do the run. You want to tell everyone about it, and then you use your cherry.

00:18:25:17 – 00:18:52:09
Anyway, sorry. Let's get through the worst part now. So I, Oh, I mentioned on the previous pod that when I was younger, I had a fascination. I think most like when you depict young, young boys and they're out, experiment in this experiment and the right word or just inquisitive about life. But in your mind were not this time.

00:18:52:09 – 00:19:17:02
But there has been that experiment, like daddy long legs and pulling the legs of daddy long legs or their wings and watching them walk about and or magnifying glass with ants. Yeah, and things like that. Were you ever one of those kids? You said to me, I spoke to you previously and you said you you weren't, but I, I remember myself doing things like that when I was a kid.

00:19:17:02 – 00:19:38:18
I once hit two butterflies with a tennis racket on purpose and. Yeah, yeah, my. So my brothers, my half brothers, their mum scolded me badly and I never did it again. She made me realize what I'd done was cruel and horrible. Yeah, but she's right. It goes. She's right. And thank God she did that. But yeah, after that, I never did it.

00:19:38:18 – 00:20:04:00
I was it must have been about 5 or 6. And maybe you never know. They did. Yeah. It's not for me. It's the inquisitive of oh I wonder what happened if. Oh well that's happened. But they did. I didn't really you not really think about it. Well I didn't when I was younger, but it brings me to my next point around kind of torture.

00:20:04:02 – 00:20:29:24
And I seem to get a maybe it's the guy getting me, but I seem to get a lot more videos now where people are live eating. It's mainly seafood. I don't know if you ever seen this where that catches the octopus straight away, squid and eat it while it's alive. And, like, how do you. I mean, as a vegetarian, you.

00:20:29:24 – 00:20:52:08
I could probably gather what you would. I think you know that I'm not like the vegetarian. I don't really care that much, but I still would. I feel that what you do, like it's out of order on it because, like, just eat something else. Why do you want this animal to go through this? So that you can just, you know, if it's not a it's not been like a cow, an electric bolt sent through the head, and they die instantly.

00:20:52:10 – 00:21:17:08
I don't really like it, but, you know, it's industrialized farming, whereas this is just a squid on. I think that's weird on a plate. I don't know what's going on. Oh, my God, I'm being munched up. It's like people walking through markets and they, seeing the live food there and then and just eating it alive. And I'm like, I am a meat.

00:21:17:10 – 00:21:40:18
But even that for me is like, I can't I can't get down with that. Like, if he can it quickly and humanely, that's, you know, I'm okay with that. But just eating stuff while it's still alive and flapping about, it's like kind of torture to the animals. It's fucking it's grim. I'm not. Not about that life. No.

00:21:40:20 – 00:22:01:05
When can we talk about the brazen bull? All right, like I. Yeah, that is more exciting. First of all, I went, you know, the stoning were you. And I was talking about video. Did you ever watch that 100 Faces of Death? Yeah. No, I didn't think it was 100 faces. If I remember video or something like that VHS of Faces of Death in a different volume face.

00:22:01:07 – 00:22:27:16
Yeah, yeah. My favorites were always the animals getting people. I love those videos. I still love them now. Yeah. I mean, I will watch one of those and I, they creep me out, but that the Indian guy is the one in India and it geezer sort of you sort of like if he's in touch with nature or some shit and he's in this murky brown pool and he's going under the water and doing these strange movements.

00:22:27:18 – 00:22:44:11
Yeah. And then all of sudden crocodile just gets him. You see him disappear, and then hey, and then literally like a minute later, he's over the other side of the pool, dead of a crocodile, just swimming along with his face. So what? What would you do in, like, the keys you got in the crocodile pen in the zoo the other day?

00:22:44:13 – 00:23:07:06
He thought it was a fake crocodile. He not seen that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he gets him and you're like, oh, what? The fucking ginormous croc, though, is huge. He does. I see one the other day where these people are on a boat and his crocodile is floating. Floating, and it's dead still. And the boat goes right next to it, not right next to it, and it doesn't move.

00:23:07:08 – 00:23:24:09
And they get an oar and they start kind of like prodding it on. Its face doesn't move. And then someone leans out of the boat and goes to grab its tail and pulls. It doesn't move. So then they edge it again in the face, and it just turns around and snaps at them and misses him by inches. Fucking.

00:23:24:09 – 00:23:42:09
How clever is that thing to play there just to get them the absolutely no scene. The ones that just pretend like they look like a man drowning. So the robot is on their back and they're waving their little claws in the air and it looks like a kid drowning. So it strikes people and they fucking him.

00:23:42:11 – 00:23:57:16
I tell you, love that. When when I was watching that, again, I wasn't. I didn't know what These Faces of Death was. And it was this VHS that was passed around between makes and that my like, it's like, should we stick it on? And I was like, yeah, cool. And then I don't know what this is about.

00:23:57:18 – 00:24:19:12
The first one was, you know, top tier stoning. And I was like, I don't really know how I feel about this. And then the next one was someone being, which called it, and I, like gunfire. And I was like, I'm not sure I want to watch this, but, you know, when you're young and you can't really, you know, you have to be a bit there.

00:24:19:14 – 00:24:37:05
Yeah. You just have to sit there and watch it. So just watch that half hour of people being annihilated. It was fucking. That was intense. If that was that, that was pretty grim. And it's well, like when you were, you know, you know, I'm fucking much going on to brazen boolean crazy but. Right. Let's talk about. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:37:11 – 00:25:01:16
So so they've gone lots of got an idea. Yeah. We'll see you out there, mate. He's gone. Right. What we're going to do is we're going to get a brass bow. We're going to make a brass bow. Right? It's going to be enough and not right by doing that. Right. What we're going to do is we're going to put people in the bow.

00:25:01:18 – 00:25:21:05
Yeah. We're going to put people in a bow. Why just fucking, kill him. Oh, man. Oh, well, you know the ones that said stuff about leader, we'll put them in there. Right. Well, just put me in the brass bolt. Yeah, yeah. Well, then what? And then then what we gonna do is going to build a fire underneath the brass bow a fire?

00:25:21:07 – 00:25:41:22
Yeah. And then we're going to light that fire. We're going to keep it going to the ball gets really, really, really hot. And that person is going to be in there and he's going to be screaming in that, and he'll stay in there to reach the dead. Sounds pretty horrible. Yeah. So I guess it's it, it's good. It, it this is the mental contraption.

00:25:41:22 – 00:26:19:02
Anyone single it? This this is the description. The brazen bull, also known as the bronze bull, Sicilian bull, bellowing bull or bull of Phalaris, was a torch and execution device designed in ancient Greece. The bull was said to have been hollow, made entirely of bronze, with a door in one side. Allegedly, the condemned were locked inside the device, with their head aligned within the bull's head, and a fire was set beneath it, heating the metal to the extent the person within slowly roasted to death.

00:26:19:04 – 00:26:43:00
The bull was equipped with an internal acoustic, an internal acoustic apparatus that converted the screams of the dying into what sounded like bellows of a bow. Oh, the bull's design was. It was such that the steam from the cooking flesh of the condemned exited the bulls nose. Oh my God! So it looked like the bull had come to life.

00:26:43:00 – 00:27:03:12
That is just sick. That is the only thing. But yeah, it doesn't end there, boys. Doesn't that right. We're going to put a microphone or some sort of trumpet system. Right. And then when he screams everyone can hear it. Yeah. Yeah. And then if flesh can be melting, right. And it's going to be coming out of his nose, the steam smoke's coming out of his nose.

00:27:03:12 – 00:27:31:22
Oh, yeah. Right. Quick list. Can't build it. Well, fuck. Glenn, it's insane how anyone would think of doing that. And then actually doing it is like like back, back in, like, fucking medieval times, whatever. They were just. That's all they used to get. They used to get a massive stone confer. Insane punishment, execution and torture. The last place I'd want to be is in one of them both.

00:27:31:24 – 00:27:59:20
Yeah, I think that one. They say that is probably number one I remember before. Yeah, that's the worst. Before I forget, when I went to Spain when I was young, I went to Alicante on a day trip and I went to Santa Barbara Castle at the top of Alicante. And as I was walking around, they were showing the different apparatus for torture.

00:27:59:22 – 00:28:22:09
And I was like, okay, this is pretty cool. And there was one. And I was like, this sticks pretty shit. And it's like I was reading what happened? And then they have someone that tells you, and you just sat into a wooden chair, you're strapped into a wooden chair, and where your ankles are, they are put in stocks so you can't move your feet.

00:28:22:09 – 00:28:48:19
So you just your bare feet are just left there. And what they would do, they would get goats and they would starve these goats to near death. Then they would pour salted water on your feet and let these goats in, and these goats would lick your feet so much it would lick it down to the bone. Now that is fucking casket.

00:28:48:22 – 00:29:07:18
But I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I feel like give up after you've got the guts to give up. Yeah, after a while. Yeah. They get bored, they're going to start his grass or something, because now they're all locked in the room. They. It's locked in a castle. I'll go. Would you come on in? Come on.

00:29:07:20 – 00:29:29:10
What's the worst trick? What's. What's your favorite going to be executed? What was. Right. So if so, for me, if I wanted to be, executed, I would, I would, you would have to get something that's the most quickest. Really. You wouldn't want to be. I think I'd probably shot in the head. Nah, it's going to be.

00:29:29:12 – 00:30:01:19
It's got to be, What's it called? What? The, Guillotine. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The French love that. Back in the day, didn't they, Holly? That's why I had a lovely bit of engineering that you can't, is it? Is private engineering. Quick, quick. No pain dead. Yeah, but I mean, you know, because I, I feel like that even if your head is cut off, that would still be the end part.

00:30:01:19 – 00:30:29:24
Like your blood is still in your head. Your brain is still working. It takes, you know, everything is pumping out, but you would still have that last seconds of life left in you. You would see your own head roll off into the basket. Wouldn't? Yeah, pretty much that. Now that is fucking grim. Now, when we put this out, we got about rather like 15 emails of people's favorite executions over the years and torture.

00:30:30:01 – 00:31:08:05
12 of them were of the same one. So this is number one in people's fucking. They love this. And then of why? Escapism, escapism, scoff, ism. But do you know what that is? So the purpose is slow public execution. The method a person was trapped between two boats or in a hollowed out tree, force fed milk and honey and left to die from exposure and insects.

00:31:08:07 – 00:31:39:03
So? So what they would do is they would they'd have a tree half it hollowed out, put you in there so your arms and legs are hanging out, tie it back together and then force feed you honey and milk or whatever it was. Yeah. And then they would put you in a stagnant pond and the insect bites and maggots and larvae, you couldn't move and you would slowly, really sorry, be in and out of consciousness and all that lot in the baking sun beating down on you.

00:31:39:05 – 00:32:05:08
And these things would be eating you alive. You just have to sit there and take it. And it takes days as well. This. It's making me feel sick that actually someone sent me a video of it. It's, you know, an animation. Yeah. I don't want it to happen. It's it's pretty, it's pretty tasty. And then the the others that you have, do you know what the wrack is?

00:32:05:10 – 00:32:29:21
Is it, is it when they pull your limbs? That's right. And what film was that in? Braveheart is the fucking guy. You never let me die. But I'm Braveheart, man, I am, so I think I couldn't think of a better Saturday afternoon than me and you. Couple of beers, pray to God. Yeah. You guys. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:32:29:21 – 00:32:52:12
Oh, there. God. Maybe, Mate, you know, I had my little brother played a gig on Saturday in London, and that was wicked. Did really well, but we're walking back with hired, like an Airbnb from in Holloway, Holloway Road. And we got, we went into a Turkish and we both got.

00:32:52:14 – 00:33:17:12
A rap. I had halloumi, falafel and the salad and the chilis. You know, do you know that little chilies, the ones are green, so they're. Yeah, it's sweet on it. They're like, yeah, sweet and juicy. And then in a wrap and with garlic and chili chili sauce. Loads of it. And, and he got a chicken wrap and we just sat there in silence in this tiny little kitchen in this bedsit, that we'd hired.

00:33:17:17 – 00:33:37:06
Just smashing these kebabs out. Got a chicken one. Yeah. He doesn't eat meat. Is. Oh, to say he's eating meat for about ten years. Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah, but the point is here, cuz we just synergy and, and that was. Yeah, I quite like to do that with you. Read. Yeah.

00:33:37:06 – 00:33:56:10
Yeah, yeah. There is nothing better than a little kebab. Honestly, I think I talking about an hour 11011. Yeah. That's a huge one. I woke up the first thing we said to each other that wasn't anything to do it again. It was actually banging last night about it.

00:33:56:12 – 00:34:20:03
So good. Some of the other Arab torches as well. The the Iron Maiden, which was, This is weird. This one. The purpose, execution and intimidation. Do you know what the Iron Maiden is? I think if I had to guess, the Iron Maiden is a it's a big, caskets metal casket type thing, and you stand in it and it closes on you.

00:34:20:04 – 00:34:44:01
All right? How the fuck do you know that? I don't know, I can't wait. Is it? It is that. It is a coffin like structure lined with inward pointing. But that's it. Yeah, yeah. And victims were placed inside me. I thought, is it okay? I think that's common. Common knowledge. Yeah it is, but like I know about that, but I wouldn't know it is the Iron Maiden, right.

00:34:44:03 – 00:35:04:00
I don't know. It's just these things stick in your head, Danny. So you. You know, this one? This is for interrogation. Waterboarding. Yeah. I feel about, I feel about, like a pussy is a pussy fucking. So I could do that. Well, bit of water in my mouth. Oh, I don't get it. I don't understand what's so bad about it.

00:35:04:02 – 00:35:25:12
Oh, well, I'll drink it. I'll just drink it as you go. Yeah. It must be bad because, like, it still happens to this day, and it gets people talking. My idea is you. You're on a board, your head is pulling down, so they lower your head. Yeah. And then they put. They put muslin or a cloth over your face and pull over on it.

00:35:25:14 – 00:35:44:10
What is the point of that? Is it because it consumes your entire face? Yeah. Yeah. It you feel like you're drowning. You can't breathe because of the water. And the cloth is like, just close. If I close your mouth. Yeah, I can make it out for a little. Breathe from the side. Yeah. Like when you do a little puff outside too much.

00:35:44:10 – 00:36:03:24
Yeah, yeah. So I'll do like that. Yeah. Yeah. Right. No, you obviously wouldn't be right otherwise people would do that. But. So it's supposed to feel like you're drowning. Yeah. And the only stops when they stop pouring the water. Yeah, yeah. At the center. And if you ingest the water, you could choke and drown internally. I think you'd be ingesting the low, wouldn't I?

00:36:03:24 – 00:36:25:08
Think I look out of all of them. I think I choose that I try to avoid it rather than them sort of chopping my arm or stopping me or something. The worst. The worst. The worst part. The worst part of Braveheart is when he's cutting his belly open and disemboweled. Yeah, I hate that bit. Rick, do I ever tell you where I went to, dungeon.

00:36:25:08 – 00:36:45:08
Dungeon when I was a kid? No, that's a mental thing to do in it. To take a kid to the London dungeon. You ever been? Yeah, I think I have been, but it was years ago. I was a London, London dungeon. All that stuff. It was the most distressing thing I did as a child. I think that and watch Ghost Hunt.

00:36:45:10 – 00:37:08:20
Okay. And I, you just go around and look at torture stuff. This is what happened. And they've got these dummies that they make up, not dummies like wax figures. Yeah. You're watching wax figures get tortured. And the one that sticks with me to this day and I still, as I'm about to say this, I'm holding on to my fingers is they would drive nails under the hood like, tacks, you know, nails underneath the nail.

00:37:08:22 – 00:37:31:12
Yeah. Down the finger. Oh, my lord. Right. Oh, the bottom of this word, people again. And what is wrong of us? Who is the person that's doing it? Like, how do you reconcile being an executioner like Pierrepoint? You know, we talked about before about the, you know, he he was hanging people in the, in England to the 60s.

00:37:31:14 – 00:37:57:09
Oh, someone actually sent something in that is. Where are you? Okay. This was a Spotify comment when we were talking about that. And I actually mentioned this in, quickie quickie with Ricky, but I'll read it here as well. I heard about this the other day. I thought it was quite interesting. In Japan, the death penalty is carried out by hanging around.

00:37:57:09 – 00:38:23:10
The execution chamber in Tokyo. Uses a trapdoor operated by three buttons. Three prison staff members pressed the buttons simultaneously, ensuring that none of them know who specifically activated the drop door. I think that's pretty cool. Yeah. So, like, no one knows who the killer is. Yeah. So it's not it's not on you. Your conscience is clear because no one knows who did it.

00:38:23:16 – 00:38:47:12
Yeah. That that is. Yeah, that is interesting. I've seen that in the film, I think before as well. No, I think you should man up if you're an executioner, you know. You know, the job is, you know what? It's so on its own. It. Where. No, that was it was it was a firing squad. And then they had like two of the rifles would have, but live animation ammunition and some wouldn't have.

00:38:47:12 – 00:39:04:21
So you wouldn't know who actually killed them. That's what it was. Firing squad. But I like I probably wouldn't like that now. I always thought it would be all right. But then when I saw that Faces of Death and I saw an actual firing squad and what happens? I was like, yeah, that's not as quick as I thought or I hoped it would be.

00:39:04:21 – 00:39:39:12
There was this thing in, so I'm going to butcher this and don't be disrespectful to the story, but I'm going to tell it anyway. The in Poland, when the Nazis invaded and they took over some of Poland, there was, some mass executions of Polish people. I think it was, I don't know if it was Jews or it was soldiers, but this guy's job was to execute anybody that there was brought into this room, and he was shooting for three days just bringing people in.

00:39:39:15 – 00:40:01:11
Bang bang bang bang. Fucking hell. Yeah. And I think in the end, he killed himself. He shot himself at the end of the three days for what he done. Yeah. That's that is, tiring on your arm for one. Just shooting and reloading. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, I don't I thought you're going to show you something different then.

00:40:01:13 – 00:40:33:02
Oh, sorry, I don't know. I don't have to follow tight, but there was a, I swear there was this story. I don't know if it's true. I don't really know the. But it was kind of the same where there was. They were killing prisoners in World War two, and they didn't have enough bullets. So they tied two people together, shot one in the head, and then pushed them in the river so that the dead body would drag the other one down.

00:40:33:03 – 00:41:06:12
Oh my God, as I. Blake, I think it was with, you know, like your partner, your wife and your husband or your kid or whatever. So you would go down with it. Yeah. That is fucking. That is so lovely. That's. It was called the catch in massacre. This is the catch. It was it was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military and police officers, border guards and intelligence talent, intelligentsia, prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD, was a secret police.

00:41:06:12 – 00:41:30:02
Joe Joseph Stalin's order in May and April May of 1940. The decree also occurred in the Kalinin, which I've been to have been declining. Kaliningrad is good, now I am I actually Minsk. It's quite funny, actually. On quickie of Ricky, I did mention that you had been to Russia and it tickled me. But go on, carry on. That's it, that's it.

00:41:30:02 – 00:41:34:22
Really. Just describe why that it took me the.

00:41:34:24 – 00:41:58:16
So we were it was because we were talking about books and quickie of Ricky. People were submitting their favorite books, and one of them was, I think this was it called A Gentleman in Russia or a gentleman? A Gentleman in Moscow, I think it was. And, no, I said, I've never been to Moscow and stuff. And then it just dawned on me that you were in a car van.

00:41:58:16 – 00:42:22:11
That van a man. Yeah. A van. And drove from London to Moscow. No, it wasn't Moscow was Kaliningrad. I was in Moscow. Would have added of a thousand miles on. So there's a small area that in Europe that I belongs to Russia between. Right. I want to say it's next to Poland, but it's not next to Russia.

00:42:22:11 – 00:42:50:08
It's like a small, small, area in Europe, basically. And so. So anyway. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And, it is, but, England were playing Belgium in that. What was it? Dead rubber is left. You bet. So it goes Poland. It goes Poland. Russia. Lithuania. Latvia. Russia. So it's it's a fair old way.

00:42:50:10 – 00:43:10:08
But they kept hold of the, of the Arctic because there's a port that goes into, access to the North Sea. Really? So, that would be why they probably kept it. You'd imagine. Anyway, the point was, I drove to this place. It was about 2000 miles or did it in across three days. And it was fucking mental.

00:43:10:14 – 00:43:35:10
But in my story, you went to Moscow and you were on Red square, and you were wearing one of those furry, and, that's what I tell people. That's what my last, my last in feelings about Russia was, they were obsessed with how other people saw them. This is way before the invasion of Ukraine, right? This would have been.

00:43:35:12 – 00:44:00:13
Yeah. 2016 maybe or 2000. Yeah. 2016. And they're just obsessed with how Europe saw them and how, the BBC reported on them and stuff. There was this kind of a fascination with the outside world and also very eager eyes from the ladies. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I think they wanted a piece of, a bit of Western red, a Western meat.

00:44:00:13 – 00:44:18:02
Yeah. I mean, I was there to work and also in a relationship so very much didn't partake in these things, but, that's a shame if you are. I mean, I'm not sure that Russia is the best skate, best place to go to get put on it now, but they are very open minded. They seemed to me. Really?

00:44:18:02 – 00:44:41:04
That's interesting. I think it's it's it's mad. But if you look at I, I find it mad if you look back on your life and be like, I've, I've been to Russia, that is, it's a fucking mental. Been fucking nowhere. I've been nowhere. I've been to Europe all over Europe, not all over Europe. I've been to many European countries, but other than that, I've not traveled or what I've got do all this stuff basically.

00:44:41:10 – 00:45:12:15
Yeah, it's going to be room. I will show that quickly. Just around the show, The Judas Cradle The Breaking will also known as the Catherine Wheel, Flying Bamboo Torture, the Pair of anguish and electric shock torture. So those are like they're the top ten that everybody absolutely loves. We are going to be going on to something only, you know, no dilemmas is good.

00:45:12:15 – 00:45:41:22
So we're all having a a good happy life. Yep. The topic for next week is superstitions. Premonitions, star sign karma, transferable energy. Do you believe in that kind of stuff? Do you like put your left sock on before you right sock or otherwise something will happen. Have you ever dreamt about a dog chasing you? So then. Then the next week you avoid all dogs so that doesn't happen.

00:45:42:03 – 00:46:07:00
Or has anything where you've dreamt or thought about or kind of, you believe in the in the calm or in the world that you've believed so much and it's actually happened. Any crazy stories like that send in to lads anon pod at gmail.com and we will read them out and we're going to go into something tiny, you know.

00:46:07:02 – 00:46:14:04
Why? Something, you know.

00:46:14:06 – 00:46:41:21
This is called we're just normal men, innocent men. I did I should have prefaced this with this is top tier. My something only I know goes back nearly 25 years to the summer between years eight and nine. I grew up in a small village and had very little confidence or chance to be around girls outside of school. I was always popular with girls but didn't have the courage to do anything.

00:46:41:23 – 00:47:04:24
I didn't kiss it go until I was in year eight. Anyway, growing up where I did, there were 3 or 4 lads my age and we used to hang out all the time, like I'd stay one day in the summer house. Me and my mate next door went to another mate and he had an empty house. We were messing around and he suggested to get his stepdad, Paul Maggs.

00:47:05:01 – 00:47:33:04
Of course we said yes. As horny teens, it didn't take as long to be sat with stalks, on which we decided to all have a wank over a magazine image in my mates front room. Well, usually the underside of a room. Yeah, I you would assume so, but just just do it there. And then the other latch took their boxes off.

00:47:33:06 – 00:47:59:19
Completely. I could make nails. So nervously I took mine down to having never shown anyone my cock at this stage, coming back to my nerves as I didn't know anyone else who had been circumcised by back, but I braved it and took mine down last, revealing not only circumcised cock, but one that was a damn sight bigger than theirs.

00:47:59:21 – 00:48:24:04
Hey, we stroked our cocks. Nobody said anything about mine and nobody came. My neighbor had to leave for lunch, I stayed. I love that bit. It just that tiny got go, go go for lads. Can't do it anymore. Go for my in. But I stayed. My other mate whose house we were at. He was half the size of me down there.

00:48:24:06 – 00:48:46:21
Asked if he could have a touch of mine to see what it felt like. He touched it and struck me off till I had my first orgasm in his front room, and then carried on like normal. Went for a kick around and went home for tea. But after eating I went back and we did it to each other in his bedroom.

00:48:46:23 – 00:49:07:18
And that was the last time. However, when we went back to school, whispers were going around the classroom and I feared the worst. But he told everyone I was circumcised, which I denied out of fear and subsequently beat him up. Sorry about sorry.

00:49:07:20 – 00:49:34:18
Jesus, but that's not where this ends up. The following weekend, after the class VR fiasco, I went to another mate's house for, for a night and confided in him that I was circumcised. And it happened again. He wanted to see my large circumcised member, and he had me releasing the poison all night. I return the favor and he even suck me off.

00:49:34:20 – 00:50:04:19
This went on in secret for a couple of months. Then I got my first proper girlfriend. We had sex six months into our relationship. I was still not confident with girls and so her friend told her she had always had a crush on me as I'd met her since I'd known her since year seven. Tutor group. My girlfriend told me about this, so I ended up sleeping with her friend to was and he just said, yeah, I don't know.

00:50:04:21 – 00:50:23:10
From then on I was self. I was a self proclaimed woman. I was in my late teens and 20s now, happily married to gorgeous women who have been there for over ten years and never dabbled since. You gents are the first ones to hear this story in its entirety. Man is no longer something only I now provide, mate.

00:50:23:10 – 00:50:44:18
That is like, we've been doing this for a year and a half and we've always said come forward. Not anything that you email in or DM. No one will ever know your name, where it's come from or we give any. Never let anyone that really doesn't have a look I don't even know know exactly. Flat doesn't even know.

00:50:44:20 – 00:51:08:09
So anything that you have that you're keeping and you're like, I don't know whether I can ever stop to for you. Yeah. That's now why. Yeah. If you work them off and you your bored whatever scandal up your ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just anything they've done so we love reminds us. Yeah. That was amazing. Yeah, I love this.

00:51:08:10 – 00:51:37:18
Go down a very waxy route that. Yeah. That was, that was brilliant. And if anybody has any ideas for topics, something and, you know, dilemmas send the end to the lads and on pod at gmail.com. And the topic for next week is superstitions, premonitions, star sign, comma, transferable energy, you know, all that kind of lovely stuff within the universe and how you get it.

00:51:37:18 – 00:51:44:04
All that and I've already sent the email so you know where to get it. And until then we will see you on Monday. Gerard.
