00:00:38 there that's right you've got double trouble today folks when harry's collide yeah and may i say it

00:00:45 was truly a privilege to watch the master at work then with that little intro that little the little

00:00:50 turn i felt the authority the grace well you've done it like a must be what a few hundred times

00:00:58 now is it eight months in uh got it honed down to a fine fine machine type thing okay all right

00:01:06 so thanks for joining me thanks for having me on mate hello everybody i hope you're all doing all

00:01:13 right i'm a wonderful person i hope none of you blinded yourselves against my express wishes but

00:01:18 you know i'll i'll forgive you this time i did see mr dickie bingo not dinky bingo mr dickie

00:01:23 bingo in the chat saying that yeah i am bringing a civil case against you for grinding me no he

00:01:31 didn't say that we watched the eclipse didn't we yeah we all hung out after work yesterday we we

00:01:37 went to the park we experienced some of the beautiful diversity of the local swindon parks

00:01:42 you know they they say that there's like the um the mythical brown note you know the note that's

00:01:47 so low if you hit it everybody in the room like defecates yeah right i think what we experienced

00:01:52 yesterday at the park watching the eclipse because somebody brought a big speaker was

00:01:56 blasting music that nobody else wanted to listen to was uh was what i would call the brown sound

00:02:01 you know and the universal brown beat i was a black guy with some third world music yeah yeah

00:02:08 yeah it was to be clear what it was it it made the whole bit feel it it was a bit less mythical

00:02:15 than i was hoping for you know thank god he played it a couple of minutes after the the height the

00:02:21 main bit of the eclipse if you'd be playing it in the lead up to and through it it would have

00:02:25 really ruined it for me honestly it would have really really ruined it you started playing it

00:02:29 a few more a couple of minutes after it was just like what are you doing who are you get out of my

00:02:36 country what oh but other than that it was a nice experience said hello to everybody until that

00:02:43 moment yeah a good half dozen or more life seaters went out to the park for a drink and so it was

00:02:47 nice and so in the legacy corporate lamestream media this morning it is wall to wall on in the

00:02:53 print media on fleet street anyway it really is wall to wall so here we go we've got the sun the

00:02:58 moon well let's just explain that look the sun the moon very clever very very clever that is isn't it

00:03:05 somebody got bonus for that one yeah so we've got the sun the moon and the greatest show on earth

00:03:09 the same thing so and the papers are basically wall to wall so we'll whip through them ever so

00:03:15 slightly faster than usual perhaps because it's just the same story and then we'll talk about

00:03:19 other things since I've got you on there's a few other stories but it's kind of summer so

00:03:24 slower news days a bit well because there's no parliament for a start yeah I used to call it or

00:03:30 sometimes still call it a silly season where if you're going to get papers talk about complete

00:03:36 nonsense and I mean complete nonsense like a double-decker bus has been spotted on the moon

00:03:42 or something then it's going to be during silly season which we're actually in right now basically

00:03:46 so all right considering there's not amazing brilliant news in the rest of the world I mean

00:03:52 there is of course there's loads of things going on a world of things to talk about they've all

00:03:56 gone with the eclipse but I suppose it's fair enough because it's once in a generation type

00:04:00 thing there we go that seems to be an inverse image because when we were watching it the moon

00:04:05 seems to be coming in from the other angle as you looked at it from right to left didn't it

00:04:10 Is it not just that this is like as it's leaving?

00:04:14 It could be as it's leaving.

00:04:15 Fair point.

00:04:16 Or it could be from, doesn't have to necessarily be from Britain.

00:04:20 Some of the other front pages are showing a total eclipse,

00:04:23 which obviously you would only get an image from in somewhere like Greenland,

00:04:26 Iceland, Spain, the Balearics.

00:04:31 Okay.

00:04:31 So the sun for drama, got no other headline.

00:04:35 That's it.

00:04:35 Well, other than they're telling you it's a souvenir.

00:04:38 anyone's going to buy this and frame it and keep it for all time or flog it yeah this is this is

00:04:44 a souvenir this is going to generate value for you so yeah it's going to appreciate in value

00:04:49 but the mythical collector of sun papers who isn't using them as a as a desperate last means

00:04:55 toilet paper i wonder if there is someone out there that's collected every copy of the sun

00:05:01 there probably is there probably is all right the eye paper same thing and you see this must be an

00:05:06 image not from britain that must be from god knows where iceland or spain or something okay there you

00:05:12 can see the totality the totality i mentioned before that i did see that in 1999 and it did

00:05:19 make a big difference like when we were watching it yesterday we got something like 96 and it did

00:05:24 go darker it dimmed it dimmed it didn't go dark dark it dimmed a bit it didn't get that much

00:05:30 cooler i didn't feel all of a sudden chill nothing like that given the surroundings that we had you

00:05:35 know i'm glad it didn't go like completely dark or else we might have got mugged yeah yeah probably

00:05:39 but but it dimmed a little bit it was more like romantic lighting it did you and the missus have

00:05:44 got back and you want to like share a bottle of wine and the slither of something like the four

00:05:49 percent maybe five percent of the sun that was never covered up you still couldn't look at that

00:05:53 with your naked eye it's still far too brilliant wasn't it it's not oh yeah so it's only five

00:05:57 percent and i'll squint or i'll do that with my hand and it'll be all right no no no that'll still

00:06:01 burn your retina out yeah despite some of the people we were with like my mate tyler who was

00:06:05 just sort of like oh don't worry about it look straight at the sun it's good for your eyes it

00:06:10 was like you're gonna you're gonna blind yourself what i was expecting was to as as it hit like

00:06:15 peak eclipse i was expecting to just hear all around me a load of people at once going ah

00:06:20 just hear like blood coming down huh mass blinding event well um your mate what's his name

00:06:30 or tyler yeah he seemed very unimpressed with the whole thing to be quite honest

00:06:34 well you know he didn't seem interested remotely he is he is from swindon oh is he

00:06:39 yeah oh well if that explains it you know his life's been difficult enough it takes a lot to

00:06:45 impress him you know because yesterday i did a poll do you care about the eclipse like yes

00:06:49 completely a bit a little bit and not at all and there was like no i think nine percent of people

00:06:54 said not at all like just not at all so nine percent you know one in ten nearly people are

00:07:00 like you know it is a pretty spectacular like natural phenomenon it's pretty cool it's the

00:07:07 most wondrous thing in the cosmos you will ever see with your naked eye yeah i wouldn't go that

00:07:12 what else is there naked women well no but but not that sort of thing i don't mean that i don't mean

00:07:20 okay okay but they have a dozen there's literally billions of those so this is like a unique

00:07:31 all right you know i'm talking about you know i'm talking about okay all right the metro

00:07:37 ugh gross the metro subversive slop isn't it harry the metro uh do you get that up up to north

00:07:43 do you get it yeah we do get the metro up north i've never taken a proper look at it though like

00:07:47 if i'm looking at the newspaper stands i'm just looking at like the bit the big ones you know

00:07:52 like daily mail the guardian stuff like that the metro is kind of it tends to be like hidden around

00:07:59 the corner somewhere yeah or it's like second tier the minor leagues yeah like why am i gonna bother

00:08:04 with that okay how much does it cost because that whenever i go oh they're free they're free oh well

00:08:09 there you go there you go the fact that it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to get just shows you

00:08:14 where it stands in the hierarchy yeah right and they're really thin like it's only a few pages

00:08:19 15 20 pages so easy work then yeah and the journalism is pure slop real globalist real

00:08:26 real leftist globalist slop anti-white anti-western uh here's blocked all the fuss was about 0.95

00:08:33 because the sun was blotted out that's rubbish yeah well yeah no wonder it's free 0.99

00:08:41 because block rhymes with what doesn't it harry do you do you get it right no 0.99

00:08:49 they treat you like an idiot don't they with stuff like i think if i was in charge of a newspaper i 0.93

00:08:55 would never do puns i don't think i don't think i would ever do them it's like why why who who is 0.99

00:09:00 this for see that's what the problem is in that case you'd never get hired oh yeah because because

00:09:06 newspapers love puns and even when i was going through school and learning about like my media

00:09:12 studies in school and then going through to college and then university it was just puns it

00:09:18 was all about the puns it seemed like the gold standard for what any newspaper editor is looking

00:09:23 for is a gig either some kind of like like blood and guts headline on the front cover like the most

00:09:30 spectacular most sensational thing ever like prince harry caught in toilet cubicle with elton john

00:09:37 having some fun you know something like that just something completely sensational yeah or barring

00:09:41 that puns they were desperate for puns wow why is that a like a convention i don't i i don't

00:09:50 understand it i wouldn't do it okay the independent oh they've actually talked about something else

00:09:55 a burner must be brave in tackling burning britain okay then there's another picture

00:10:01 move over sunshine

00:10:02 heat wave eclipse by a moment of shade

00:10:06 there you go it's not clever though yeah

00:10:11 it's not it's not like just in the abstract to move over sunshine

00:10:19 move over sunshine good day sunshine is that right is that the lyrics

00:10:25 The male, the male group

00:10:27 Pure globalist filth 1.00

00:10:29 Wearing the skin suit of something 0.96

00:10:31 That's patriotic or nativist

00:10:33 It's not at all, it's pure globalism

00:10:35 Is the only male still Murdoch?

00:10:37 No, I don't think so, no, no

00:10:38 I think that's a while ago now

00:10:40 The male group got bought by someone else, didn't they?

00:10:43 Correct me if I'm wrong

00:10:44 Is it Sky News and Fox News and all those ones

00:10:47 That are all Murdoch?

00:10:49 Not anymore, isn't Sky

00:10:50 I'm well behind the times

00:10:52 my Murdoch

00:10:53 and I read James O'Brien

00:10:55 so recently as well

00:10:56 just the other year

00:10:57 wait Sky News is still

00:10:58 isn't it

00:10:59 at least in

00:11:00 they've changed

00:11:01 a lot of them have

00:11:01 changed hands recently

00:11:02 like in the last couple

00:11:03 of years

00:11:03 yeah

00:11:04 and he's one of those

00:11:06 guys that you look up

00:11:06 and you go like

00:11:07 what he's not dead

00:11:08 yeah is the Rupert Murdoch

00:11:11 still alive

00:11:11 I think he is

00:11:12 isn't he

00:11:12 yeah

00:11:12 remarkably so

00:11:14 it's like

00:11:14 is Noam Chomsky

00:11:15 still alive

00:11:16 yeah

00:11:16 the blood of

00:11:18 the blood of children

00:11:19 takes you a long way

00:11:20 yeah

00:11:20 it really does

00:11:22 if you swap out your old man blood your dying old man blood for young kids blood intravenously

00:11:27 regularly does wonders yeah that is a thing that you can do isn't it didn't that brian johnson guy

00:11:33 the longevity guy isn't he doing stuff like that with his own son i don't know about the actual

00:11:37 kids bit but the kid the thing of swapping out your blood for better blood is totally oh yeah

00:11:42 that's how loads of um cyclists like lance armstrong that's what they'll do in the middle

00:11:48 of like a tour de france where you've done a few stages and your blood is basically a little bit

00:11:54 knackered the oxygen level in your blood is lowered because you've been working so hard

00:11:59 transfusion yeah they literally go in their travel home and hook up hook up blood transfusions

00:12:05 with brand new oxygenated highly oxygenated blood next day you're highly competitive back on it

00:12:13 again 100% surely cocaine is cheaper oh yeah yeah a lot cheaper that's a lot less complicated

00:12:20 doesn't leave loads of needle marks in you for a start I would have thought but um yeah no that's

00:12:24 totally a thing to just swap your blood out for better blood one way or another so I mean it's 0.94

00:12:30 not a million mile stretch to old people in fact it sounds like she sounds like cheating to me

00:12:35 well yeah in fact I think it was was it Mel Gibson so it may be not Mel Gibson apologies

00:12:41 if it wasn't Mel Gibson. Someone went on Joe Rogan once a while ago. Maybe it was like

00:12:48 Kirk Douglas before he died or something, anyway.

00:12:50 And he got to, what, 106 Kirk Douglas?

00:12:54 Or maybe it was Michael Douglas. I can't remember. It was someone, anyway. And they were just

00:12:56 openly talking about it. Yeah, like, in America, if you've got enough money privately, you

00:13:00 go, just swap my blood out for better blood. I'm old, and I can prepare to pay for it,

00:13:06 and the doctor's prepared to do it. It's like, it's totally a thing. So, all right, well.

00:13:10 anyway bit of an aside there back to the eclipse oh yeah back to the eclipse yeah britain finally

00:13:17 gets a break from the sun for a few minutes yeah okay great well done the real bewildering link

00:13:25 to a record fires this is a story i thought they might be going with that it is largely arson but

00:13:31 no says after 1017 wildfires already this year eco drama is blamed for turning country into

00:13:38 tinderbox it's like oh are they going to talk about that loads of these fires wildfires in

00:13:43 inverted commas are in fact are the result of arson no no they're just talking about

00:13:49 how it's just uh basically labor and environmental policies of sort of you know like the back

00:13:57 burning do they call it uh very the various things where you deliberately set wildfires

00:14:01 in the off season to get rid of brush oh yeah to reduce the risk of wildfires in summer that

00:14:07 that's what they've stopped doing that that's what they refuse to do in california which led

00:14:10 to the enormous wildfires at the beginning of the last year after after an arsonist had a go

00:14:15 didn't well it wasn't it that's why it burns up so much because it was able to spread that's what

00:14:19 some say yeah uh but yeah i know about backburning i mean obviously like the weather conditions make

00:14:24 it easier for things to be really dried out and really flammable but i this amount of fires don't

00:14:33 just start yeah i don't know if you watched the boat show yesterday or a second i did on state

00:14:41 of politics state of politics uh where there was a story in the bbc which they memory hold very

00:14:47 very quickly uh saying that in france because there's been loads loads of wildfires in france

00:14:51 um they've arrested over 400 people for starting arson and and their stats was that nine out of

00:14:58 10 of them were set deliberately by people i wonder how many of those people are some kind of

00:15:02 like deranged eco-warriors who want to make the news they want there to be the wildfires so they

00:15:09 can say can you believe what global warming is doing to us from what little they said it was a 1.00

00:15:13 combination of that um they're just insane kids yeah that makes sense just stupid crazy kids 1.00

00:15:21 or there's some sort of tiktok thing in fact some sort of tiktok trend go start a wildfire 1.00

00:15:26 uh yeah eco-warrior people a couple of them were like firefighters

00:15:30 to sort of give themselves there's been more than one example of that give themselves the work 0.99

00:15:34 um uh stupid people that are like trying um like have a a barbecue out in the woods 1.00

00:15:43 or whatever you know those disposable barbecues yeah yeah just in a metal train 1.00

00:15:47 apparently burnham and his government are thinking of banning disposable barbecues because 1.00

00:15:54 i mean idiots go out and mainly frankly whenever i've seen people using them in the wild in stupid 1.00

00:16:00 places it's been foreigners it's been far as like it's the next thing like like you go to the peak 1.00

00:16:05 district and i went to the peak district a few years ago i was having a lovely time but it was 1.00

00:16:09 completely ruined by the fact that you know i was going to these stepping stones down this lovely 1.00

00:16:14 stream gorgeous environment everywhere everywhere was foreigners and this was before i'd started 0.98

00:16:20 really taking as much notice of these things and uh but even at the time i was like walking along

00:16:27 and a bunch of i think there must have been indians or pakistanis at the other side of the

00:16:31 streams the side that i was on just a big they'd brought a big barbecue with them and they were

00:16:35 just frying up some lamb in the middle of the peak district down the country path it's like

00:16:42 really yeah maybe just do it at home bring it with you yeah i hated it i hated it yeah it's 1.00

00:16:50 horrible it's retarded retarded and they could have easily set fire to stuff easily yeah that 0.99

00:16:56 thing of those disposable ones where it's just like a basically a big metal tray isn't it yeah 1.00

00:17:00 like coals in it's not coals but fire lighter type material and you just set fire to it and

00:17:06 it's got its own grill on top and little metal grate and then you just put your meat straight

00:17:11 on top of that it's a one-time one-use thing yeah you knock some coals by accident you kick

00:17:15 you kick it or you just put it straight on the ground yeah it's going to scorch and burn the 1.00

00:17:19 grass underneath that um and yet foreign foreign foreign people doing that because they don't 1.00

00:17:25 necessarily understand that that could cause if there's one thing that the internet has taught me 0.88

00:17:32 is the subcontinent is full of people with a spectacular talent for killing themselves by

00:17:38 accident so if they just set fire to the forest that they're in and take a load of other people

00:17:43 out with them you know part and parcel done a few segments haven't we i did it also on state

00:17:49 of politics one time or nate did one uh i think carl's done one on the main podcast of sort of

00:17:54 Complications of specifically Indian people getting terribly injured 0.89

00:17:58 and or even sometimes killed through sort of the dumbest thing you could do. 0.98

00:18:04 Yeah, trains. 0.99

00:18:05 They just stand on train tracks.

00:18:07 Just walking out on a motorway.

00:18:10 Looking at the traffic, but slowly walking in through it

00:18:13 and surprise, surprise, they get hit.

00:18:15 Like he's playing chicken with it or something.

00:18:16 Like loads of examples of that.

00:18:18 Well, you can't sacrifice your is-at to stop at the side of the road

00:18:21 and wait for the cars, can you?

00:18:22 What is-at?

00:18:23 destiny oh did you have you missed out on the is that discourse i guess i think so apparently so

00:18:29 is that's like an honor system in india and the subcontinent where it's learning something it's

00:18:36 basically saving face okay and you find that lots of foreign cultures outside of europe and even some

00:18:42 more honor-based cultures within europe have this kind of form of saving face but not to the extreme

00:18:47 degree that they have in the subcontinent where that people will literally like put themselves in

00:18:52 death defying situations to save face they will lie and cheat and steal to save face that's why 0.99

00:19:01 like call center indians are such a thing then they give such bad service because if you say 1.00

00:19:07 you're giving me bad service right now give me better service that's an insult to their honor 1.00

00:19:12 so they're a scammer yeah so they've got to save face but also it's why they're more than happy to

00:19:19 lie because it might be more worthy for them to get their honor by getting the scam sale than it

00:19:25 is for them to like absolutely prostrate themselves to you please sir my mother she's dying i need the

00:19:31 money please you know that kind of thing so a perverse sense of honor not real honor yeah got

00:19:38 it it's that kind of thing and uh i've also seen some videos you know you see the ones of them

00:19:43 going on the uh going on the train tracks i've i've seen ones of them just doing like even

00:19:47 stupid and stuff like that like purposefully doing it i saw this video getting shared about the other

00:19:51 day it was this guy standing on top of a building like a two-story building and for some reason i 0.99

00:19:57 don't know what the context of this is he's just like i'm gonna jump onto those power lines right

00:20:03 there like a superhero or something and people are filming him and they're from the street going

00:20:09 go on jump do it yeah yeah whereas in over here you see someone standing at the edge of a building

00:20:14 like that you'd be like no yeah don't do that yeah and of course he jumps he grabs a hold of

00:20:19 the power lines there's a big ball of flame and then the video ends all right it's like what

00:20:26 what led to this why are they cheering you on you don't seem depressed to me you just don't seem to

00:20:33 understand that no this will kill you what led to this you ask i would suggest probably more than

00:20:39 one generation of inbreeding that uh maybe i don't know yeah weird or just a general super low iq

00:20:51 the the argument that specifically people from the subcontinent are so much more clever and we

00:20:55 need them to code for us or anything like that no no no no no we don't we don't need them at all in 0.98

00:21:01 in the west we don't need any of them at all my feeling oh wait wasn't there also supposed to be

00:21:08 some poll that i gave yeah we do that after the front oh after we'll get to okay okay let's whip

00:21:15 through them a bit more then the daily telegraph the tory graph is supposed to be right of center

00:21:19 but is as much globalist slop as anything else anyone who talks about re-migration or wanting

00:21:26 to save our country from demographic decline and ruin they will try and annihilate in the in the

00:21:32 public in the public square the telegraph right showing its true color certainly i thought it was 0.99

00:21:37 bought by a german zionist oh yeah showing its true colors that it despises we're not allowed

00:21:43 a country called to according to the telegraph you're not allowed to have an ancestral homeland 0.99

00:21:48 israel is but we're not that's just only one people only one people are out are allowed a

00:21:53 country jews have got a divine right to uh be an ethnic major and racial and religious

00:22:00 majority in their country we don't everybody else we don't we're not allowed that a gigantic

00:22:05 free-for-all pvp server that's what we get they get a country and we get runescape when you wander

00:22:11 a little bit too far off the map and start getting griefed according to the telegraph britain airstrip

00:22:17 one is now just an overflow car park for the detritus of the world the human detritus of the

00:22:22 just an overflow car park for them just pack as many of them in here as possible and they are

00:22:28 british now according to the likes of alistair heath or whatever okay same doesn't apply for

00:22:34 israel though interesting interesting okay the greatest show on earth

00:22:37 yeah okay i mean it was a nice little like afternoon out i suppose

00:22:44 burnham prepared to spend more on housing asylum seekers because he wants to operation scatter

00:22:52 operation schmear he doesn't want to put them all in poor areas he wants to make sure they go to 1.00

00:22:58 middle class areas as well that might cost more that might cost the state more but it's worth it

00:23:02 It's a matter of principle. 1.00

00:23:03 Look, moving migrants to middle-class areas will cost more, 0.82

00:23:06 but Prime Minister insists it must happen as a point of principle.

00:23:10 That's insane, isn't it?

00:23:13 Isn't it insane? It must happen.

00:23:15 At the same time, it's an acknowledgement of the fact that migration is bad. 0.99

00:23:22 That these migrants are bad and negatively affect communities. 0.99

00:23:26 Because his point of principle is, 1.00

00:23:27 well, we can't just be sending them all to the poor neighbourhoods.

00:23:30 and it doesn't sound like he's saying oh well because it's disadvantaging the migrants so

00:23:35 that they're in poor poor areas no it's because it makes those areas worse and so he's so what

00:23:41 he's literally saying is we're going to make wealthy areas worse as well and you know there

00:23:47 was that thing a few years ago in america where like um what was his name uh greg um abbott was

00:23:53 it the governor of texas was saying when they come through the border we're going to send them up to

00:23:57 the northern states as well where all these wealthy people live it's like i understand the

00:24:02 the vindictive feeling that motivates that because these people support this but they don't get any

00:24:07 of the second-hand effects of it or anything but at the same time you're not making texas better

00:24:14 you're not making england or these working class areas better you're making the nice parts of

00:24:20 england worse and you're spreading them out in such a way that means it's going to be more difficult 1.00

00:24:25 to get rid of them later they were talking about fairness they trotted out a home office

00:24:31 ministry yesterday they're saying that all of this is to do with fairness

00:24:34 who's fairness i'm not quite sure but yeah instead of uh to make everything more fair

00:24:42 for equity and equality will bring everyone down to a third world slum

00:24:47 it will make it unsafe for all women in every part of the country right okay i'm sure what 0.99

00:24:53 little leafy shire villages need is a load of rapists and criminals showing up on their doorstep 0.88

00:24:59 that's what's going to make that's what's going to make your little granny who saved her whole 0.74

00:25:04 life to be able to retire somewhere nice in the countryside that's what's going to make her life

00:25:07 so much better tiny little rural villages that are completely homogenous and safe high trust 0.92

00:25:13 uh in the name of fairness will bust in a dozen afghans no in the name of fairness because it's

00:25:22 a point of principle and it must happen i mean is that not mad no if in

00:25:28 in the name of fairness i would say uh the home office and all civil servants must take in at 0.71

00:25:38 least three migrants into their own homes into their tiny little london flats that's that's fair 0.97

00:25:46 to me be fair yeah okay putin threatens to seize british ships after oil crackdown well be interesting

00:25:53 to see if that happens in any way shape or form i don't think although i don't know but i don't

00:25:57 think we sail many of our ships sort of into russian waters up in the baltic sea uh but we'll

00:26:05 see if he does anything like that um all right what else do we got oh the times the venerable

00:26:10 times what do you think they go with well the eclipse of course there you go that's that's

00:26:15 again not from england that will be from iceland or something very misleading the the newspapers

00:26:21 are actually very misleading today that's not what it looked like today yeah i know yeah i know i

00:26:26 never would have expected it oh look that's that story he's talking about barbecue ban to help uh

00:26:30 snub out wildfires that's the that's the the use and lose one time disposable

00:26:36 barbecues he's talking about it is the funny thing isn't it like this the barbecue ban yeah 0.99

00:26:42 it'll be stupid kids and foreigners setting a lot of these fires by accident if it's because of the 0.99

00:26:46 barbecues because you can't acknowledge that it's the foreigners doing it you can't have laws saying 1.00

00:26:54 oh the foreigners can't have these because that would be that wouldn't be liberal the echr wouldn't

00:26:59 be happy with that british values have never once held a double standard in law barring the 1688 bill 0.73

00:27:06 of rights or anything um so therefore we all have to relinquish our disposable barbecues

00:27:13 we all have to give up our rights and privileges to have certain things because it's the right

00:27:18 thing to do it's what churchill fought for don't you know you know look come on it's the right

00:27:24 thing to do that's my tony blair okay the ft the financial times they go with the eclipse okay

00:27:31 Here's a mildly interesting story

00:27:34 Ukraine ceases strikes on oil tankers

00:27:36 Using Russian port after Vance requests

00:27:38 Yeah, for a while, maybe

00:27:40 Key Kazakh route for crude 0.76

00:27:42 Washington fears

00:27:44 Market volatility

00:27:45 Chevron and Exxon stakes at risk

00:27:49 Shall we have a look at the price of crude on this show?

00:27:52 Oh yeah, go for it

00:27:53 Let's have a look, what is it trading at today?

00:27:55 Here we go, what have we got?

00:27:56 Okay, West Texas is at $83 a barrel

00:27:59 Brent crude

00:28:00 is it's just shy of $89 a barrel.

00:28:02 So $10, $5, $10 higher than when the war started.

00:28:06 Still significantly under that $100.

00:28:10 That was going to be the benchmark

00:28:12 for knowing that it was getting really bad

00:28:13 if it got to $100.

00:28:15 Although to be fair, I noticed in England

00:28:18 fuel prices have gone back up again.

00:28:20 Yeah, well, that's the next thing I always say

00:28:23 is that the price of crude on the open market,

00:28:26 if you're in a commodities trading desk

00:28:27 and you're buying and selling barrels of crude

00:28:29 all day, every day,

00:28:29 the actual price doesn't necessarily translate into how much a normal person pays for

00:28:34 gasoline or petrol or diesel at the petrol pump so tragically i drive a diesel um a diesel nissan

00:28:42 duke don't hurt me i know i've heard all the jokes i've heard all the jokes i'm a family man

00:28:47 okay i can't afford glitz and glamour um and it was what was it was like uh it got back down

00:28:55 before the war started it was about 140 for a litre of diesel it went up to like almost it went

00:29:03 up to 190 went back down to 160 ish the other week it gradually been going down and now it

00:29:10 shot straight back up to i think it's 182 last i looked so i'm just thinking like what what has

00:29:17 happened that's interesting isn't it 182 because it's ridiculous isn't that interesting what harry

00:29:23 just said there when the price of crude is not it's a tiny bit higher i wouldn't even say

00:29:29 significantly higher than when this war started it did shoot up like what three months ago four

00:29:35 months ago like the highest it went was anything over a hundred dollars is kind of expensive but

00:29:40 not crazy if it starts aging up to 115 120 that's a lot over 120 that's that's a lot and at one point

00:29:50 it did go up i think briefly brent went up to like 117 or 119 or maybe just tipped over 120

00:29:57 for like a day or two something like that something in that ballpark um but yeah not

00:30:03 like all-time high it's not 150 a barrel not like crazy astronomical it's 200 a barrel now

00:30:08 nothing like that i mean i'm wondering if it's people at the pumps expecting there to be a

00:30:13 shortage in the future so getting what they can out of it now i could just like spitballing ideas

00:30:19 really maybe who knows all right all right what else have we got we get there oh the guardian

00:30:24 gross the guardian let's do this i know it's only a banner it's not the actual headline i know

00:30:29 why have we stopped kissing speak for yourself i was exactly what i was gonna say that's your

00:30:34 feeling of the people that put the the guardian together i mean we're the i kiss my girlfriend

00:30:42 my partner all the time what are you talking about you maybe you've stopped kissing the 0.93

00:30:47 guardian because you're gross gross people yeah i don't always i don't always hate the guardian 0.96

00:30:52 in the actual articles because even if they take the worst perspective this is the wrong podcast 0.98

00:30:57 no no no go on bugger off no even if they take the worst perspective i do tend to find that they

00:31:02 their articles can be quite information dense in the same way the day that's actually the daily

00:31:07 mail as well actually often has a horrendous perspective but if you're reading a daily mail

00:31:12 article they're going to include every tiny little bit of information on the story in it right

00:31:17 I'd agree with that.

00:31:17 The Mail quite often,

00:31:18 the Mail and the Express

00:31:19 quite often break stories.

00:31:21 They're first with a story

00:31:22 quite often.

00:31:23 And the Guardian, 1.00

00:31:24 as shit, 1.00

00:31:24 oh, sorry, 1.00

00:31:25 they're not supposed

00:31:25 to swear on this show,

00:31:26 as bad,

00:31:27 as poor as they are,

00:31:28 as subversive as they are,

00:31:30 it's a really good bellwether

00:31:31 for what the left are thinking.

00:31:32 Yeah.

00:31:33 It's really good for that,

00:31:34 valuable for that.

00:31:36 But that's the main articles.

00:31:37 If you go to, like,

00:31:38 the editorials

00:31:39 and lifestyle section,

00:31:40 that's when you're going to get

00:31:42 that answer.

00:31:43 That's diabolical.

00:31:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:32:26 for heat toll ac that's racist though isn't it i'm not i'm not one of those guys who says that

00:32:34 britain and europe can't have ac at all i think in strategic areas like i don't know hospitals

00:32:40 might be a good idea

00:32:43 because people

00:32:44 die in hospitals 1.00

00:32:47 Old people's homes 0.98

00:32:48 Old people's homes, you know, places where people 1.00

00:32:51 are liable to die 1.00

00:32:52 maybe you want to have some control over the

00:32:55 climate in those buildings

00:32:56 Just throwing it out there. Only state ones though

00:32:58 privately owned ones shouldn't be allowed

00:33:01 Of course. This is according

00:33:03 to that Yasmin Alibaba

00:33:04 Brown. If you're just a private individual and you

00:33:07 can afford an aircon, no 1.00

00:33:08 because it's not fair on the third world

00:33:10 what yeah yeah yeah don't don't ask me to make it make any sense or her because it doesn't okay

00:33:18 using stairs may cut risk of early death by a quarter the article says uh yeah doing a little

00:33:29 and cardiovascular system which paper is this uh the express yeah breaking news read all about it

00:33:36 Roll up, roll up.

00:33:38 Breaking news.

00:33:39 Science says moving good.

00:33:41 Yeah.

00:33:43 Okay, they're the front pages.

00:33:44 They're the increasingly absurd and infuriating front pages.

00:33:47 Now we do our poll.

00:33:48 Now we get to our poll.

00:33:49 So we asked you today.

00:33:54 I let Big Harry, I let Big Harry write the poll.

00:33:57 He begged me for a question.

00:33:58 That's what happened.

00:33:59 So we got, who is the best Dream Theater drummer?

00:34:03 mike portney or mike mangini mangini portnoy or mike mangini there you go now i don't know

00:34:12 dream theater at all and i've never heard of these two individuals so i'm sure take it away

00:34:17 i'm shocked you've never heard of dream theater really in the i don't know what genre of music

00:34:22 i've never heard a single song because i don't know in the incredibly niche sub-genre of progressive

00:34:28 rock heavy metal they are by far the most popular band of that incredibly niche sub-genre of heavy

00:34:37 metal to ever exist okay right they did in the early 90s have a really big hit uh that you may

00:34:45 have even heard at some point called pull me under no no i go back and i listen to the likes of sort

00:34:53 of dire straits and uh stuff like that like only dire straits with mac i mean give me a bit of the

00:34:59 who well i mean i was i don't know dream i was listening to rumors on the drive up that's a

00:35:03 great album down yesterday great album the reason it's one of the all-time selling albums anyway

00:35:07 sorry dream dire straits i'm only really into sultans of swing sorry because it's got some

00:35:11 great guitar work in it yeah uh dream theater progressive heavy metal band absolutely amazing

00:35:18 stuff for literally a 42 minute long song in one case you know that's is that a little bit excessive

00:35:25 that's taking the mickey isn't it well it's it's structured more like a large classical piece with

00:35:29 an overture it's it's really it's it's really nicely done it's not self-indulgent it's very

00:35:36 so okay okay okay very so i'll never deny that it's very self-indulgent uh yeah they uh had mike

00:35:44 portnoy their classic drummer who was in the band for most of their for all of their classic albums

00:35:49 he left because he went to join avenger sevenfold for a bit they got a replacement make mangini

00:35:54 and portnoy is back now after mangini did a bunch of albums it's a big thing who's the better

00:35:59 obviously it's what there's a debate that mangini is potentially as good as portnoy uh yeah i know

00:36:06 right what's your opinion portnoy okay not not only do i prefer his drumming i prefer all the

00:36:11 material that he's worked on as well he was part of the classic period right but but i was just

00:36:17 wondering what the audience might say also particularly because your missus yesterday

00:36:21 opened with this question so she knows dream theater and she knows the portnoy versus mangini

00:36:28 divide as well okay and what did my take on it and we all agreed it's portnoy okay well if you're

00:36:33 interested if you're ever interested in drumming um there's a really great youtube channel called

00:36:39 drumeo and mike portnoy has done a number of videos with drumeo where they get him to do

00:36:45 silly things where it's like he listens to a taylor swift song for the first time with no drum track

00:36:50 and this absurd prog rock drummer has to come up with his own drum track for the taylor swift song

00:36:55 really fun little ideas like that is if you want to kill half an hour it's there's worse ways to

00:37:00 do it well your opinion was portnoy and portnoy has it in the polls 68 just to get off 67 68

00:37:07 percent of people agree with that one thing i have noticed is that i usually get about a thousand

00:37:13 votes sometimes often 11 1200 votes once or twice up near or once or twice to 2000 votes

00:37:20 usually the minimum of 900 plus votes only 240 people have bothered even voting on that poll so

00:37:30 as an experiment we're not doing this again clearly a very uncultured chat we have this

00:37:35 oh shots fired clearly the glorious band that chose a few my band of brothers you're at war

00:37:40 with them now well i mean they they already declared war on me so it's fine now you asked

00:37:47 me for something i did you asked me for something eccentric and niche this is on nobody would have

00:37:51 an idea of the concept the idea of doing this in the poll today was my idea you you didn't come in

00:37:57 saying boat i've got the poll today leave it to me i said why don't you why don't you do a poll

00:38:01 for like best thrash metal band or something it's like that's obvious i mean it's metallica

00:38:06 oh right and everybody that would be the obvious one so i went with the obscure one instead you

00:38:11 know i once saw metallica live at the milton king's bowl in the late 90s did you oh in the

00:38:15 late 90s as well oh i bet that was a good show yeah it was great yeah yeah that's that's the

00:38:20 hardest music i would ever enjoy is metallica anything much harder even like pantera anything

00:38:25 more extreme than that is a bit like to me it's a bit of a dizz not really a song anymore but i

00:38:30 like Metallica

00:38:31 as the furthest I'll go

00:38:33 and yeah that gig was great

00:38:34 that gig was great

00:38:35 very musical band

00:38:36 my first gig

00:38:37 when I was 12 years old

00:38:38 in 2008

00:38:39 was Metallica

00:38:40 on their Death Magnetic tour

00:38:42 and that was a great time

00:38:43 my dad took me

00:38:44 where was that

00:38:45 in Manchester

00:38:45 Birmingham MEC

00:38:47 yeah

00:38:48 really good show

00:38:50 alright

00:38:51 that's enough about music

00:38:52 because we'll lose the audience

00:38:53 if we keep banging on about it

00:38:54 for too long

00:38:55 someone in the chat

00:38:55 is saying

00:38:56 I was there

00:38:57 I assume that means

00:38:58 he was at the same gig

00:38:59 as you were

00:39:00 in the 90s

00:39:00 Milton Keynes one

00:39:01 yeah

00:39:02 it was really long

00:39:02 they played

00:39:03 they played loads of songs

00:39:04 like 40 songs

00:39:05 50 songs

00:39:06 that's probably

00:39:07 when they were

00:39:07 at the height

00:39:08 of their touring power

00:39:09 because they all

00:39:10 sounded awesome

00:39:11 they had great

00:39:11 stage presence

00:39:12 and the endurance

00:39:13 to play those

00:39:14 like you see

00:39:15 Springsteen

00:39:16 even now

00:39:16 still plays like

00:39:17 three four hour shows

00:39:18 the boss

00:39:19 yeah yeah

00:39:19 the boss

00:39:20 sorry

00:39:20 put some respect

00:39:22 on his name

00:39:22 oh it's A-level day

00:39:24 A-level results day

00:39:25 day

00:39:26 great

00:39:28 what did you get

00:39:29 on your A-levels

00:39:30 i got an a b a c and a d just covered all your bases yeah yeah yeah fair it's easy to remember

00:39:36 as well yeah and it actually was wasn't quite enough i was just off the number of ucas points

00:39:42 you needed to get into my first choice king's college london i was like one or two points

00:39:46 didn't make it i got a conditional offer and i was like i was like oh no my dream of going to like

00:39:52 the uni i really want to go to but then they rang me up that morning mid-morning and said

00:39:59 if you want the place you've got it and i was like a roller coaster for me that day a real

00:40:04 roller coaster the anticipation the oh i just missed out like the depths of despair to oh i've

00:40:10 got it i've got exactly what i wanted it's over we're back it's over we're back the cycle continues

00:40:15 what did you get uh i got uh english lit b english language b music technology a distinction star

00:40:25 a star uh but they didn't do it that way it was a it was a b-tech uh more based around like

00:40:31 practice because it was me like it was all about music production it was all about the practical

00:40:35 stuff so it wasn't it wasn't really an exam you could do for it so fair enough just just like

00:40:39 you got a higher grade for it i got the highest grade for it i i focused way more on that than

00:40:45 english literature and language and i did start annoying my my teachers in english literature by

00:40:51 asking too many questions about the books that we were reading and she was just like no you just

00:40:55 listen to my interpreter are you sure uh mrs feminist teacher that when in wuthering heights 0.96

00:41:03 kathy puts a key into a lock that that's actually a metaphor for sex are you sure it's not just that 0.73

00:41:16 thank you thank you mrs teacher yeah i did english at a level as well and um again had 1.00

00:41:23 uh i had two teachers for it but one of them was this feminist woman yeah and she was just telling 0.95

00:41:27 us like dh lawrence or whatever it means this it does mean this and when you write an essay about

00:41:32 it this is the argument you put forward and if it comes up mark you down and if it comes up in the

00:41:38 exam an essay question in the exam that's the answer you give don't give your own opinions or

00:41:43 anything like that it's it's this or something like uh what did i have to do at some point i had

00:41:47 to do a graham green novel and she's like it all the imagery and all the metaphors in it it means

00:41:52 this thing specific thing nothing else don't write me an essay that with your own thoughts

00:41:57 and opinions on it that will be wrong really really okay and what else was there there was

00:42:04 also the moment when we were studying the tempest you know shakes one of shakespeare's great plays

00:42:08 the tempest and uh at one point i put my hand up and i go excuse me mrs teacher um why didn't if

00:42:16 if prospero's got magic powers and could have got the island got them off the island at any time

00:42:22 why did he choose not to do that for 12 years and stayed in exile the whole time and she just

00:42:31 well i guess shakespeare didn't think of that harry it's like no there is there is actually

00:42:36 an answer in the tech i've gone back and read through it since then and gone like well well

00:42:40 yeah it's obvious why he's trying he wants to be away from society and raise his daughter right

00:42:46 but this teacher was just sort of like being being mugged off by me essentially asking questions that

00:42:52 she wasn't expecting and i think i started to annoy her annoy her yeah yeah you're annoying

00:42:59 normal kid you've got male questions i actually don't know the tempest that well i must admit

00:43:07 it's one of the more famous ones i should become more familiar with okay let's move on here trump

00:43:12 a bit a bit more of the story we brought you on the beau show breakfast on monday that trump was

00:43:17 sort of smuggled off of air force one or air force one is the call sign it's not the name of the

00:43:22 airplane so he's smuggled off the normal presidential airplane in like some sort of

00:43:27 catering van cart thing but the rest of his the rest of his officials were were not so they're

00:43:34 used as a type of decoy or bait or something some more details of that emerging okay mildly

00:43:41 interesting I think ITV News just went with that it's hot yeah there you go well done brilliant

00:43:46 cheers I hadn't noticed thanks Sky News today for some reason focusing on the TV as well the

00:43:53 actual sky news channel focusing loads on the war in sudan and how terrible it is how people are

00:43:59 suffering and there's not enough food and all the hospitals don't work properly properly no no

00:44:05 discussion whatsoever about the causes of the war that is to crazy sudanese generals fighting over

00:44:12 resources no nothing about that it's just that if you're a poor woman in sudan you try and give birth

00:44:18 it's going to be in unsanitary conditions no talk about the actual causes of the war i mean i just

00:44:24 assume that half of africa is constantly at civil war yeah and sudan is the point to the point where

00:44:32 with somebody with somewhere like sudan my only real question of concern is are they going to end

00:44:39 up here somehow yeah are they going to find some way for an ngo to airlift them into surrey yeah

00:44:47 with burnham's help at this point yeah yeah i don't care about the sudanese civil war at all

00:44:54 it's got nothing to do with us shouldn't have anything to do with us beyond that i don't want 0.98

00:45:00 their quote-unquote refugees to come here that's all i care about i don't care we haven't got time 0.59

00:45:08 and capacity to be worrying about anything other than our own at this point okay what was this 0.99

00:45:13 oh yeah that tiny village in oxfordshire of 314 braces for 1250 migrants all fighting age men 0.86

00:45:21 all of them uh moving in we're being made prisoners say the uh the residents yeah yeah 1.00

00:45:28 it's about right just the height of injustice yeah yeah the same thing it's completely malicious 0.99

00:45:33 you can't you can't say that they're just being stupid when they do that that is yeah that is like 0.99

00:45:38 that feels to me 1.00

00:45:41 like vindictive city folk

00:45:44 going like

00:45:45 oh you live somewhere nice

00:45:46 I don't live somewhere nice

00:45:48 so you can't live somewhere nice

00:45:50 yeah absolutely

00:45:52 I do think a lot of

00:45:53 behaviour is motivated by 0.98

00:45:56 petty rubbish like that

00:45:58 more than we often attribute it to 0.99

00:46:01 rubbing their noses in diversity

00:46:03 has this chap had his nose rubbed

00:46:05 in diversity enough

00:46:06 no not yet

00:46:08 Nope 0.99

00:46:09 Not until the actual women folk of his family 1.00

00:46:13 Are unsafe 1.00

00:46:14 They feel unsafe, that they are unsafe 0.93

00:46:16 Only then will his nose have been truly rubbed in diversity

00:46:19 Well, I just hope he's never voted Labour 0.66

00:46:21 Or Lib Dem or Conservative even

00:46:24 Alright

00:46:25 Let's move on to On This Day in History

00:46:27 It's already quarter two

00:46:29 I do this

00:46:31 You've watched the show before, right?

00:46:32 So, you know

00:46:33 Down through the centuries, On This Day in History

00:46:35 What happened on the 13th of August

00:46:36 Okay, today we've got, on this day in 1521, Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés, capture Aztec emperor, how do you pronounce that, Chua Temoc?

00:46:50 Close enough.

00:46:51 Chua Temoc, he's the one after Moctezuma II, who was briefly reigned and history largely forgets, where they capture him in Tenochtitlan, the capital, which is modern day Mexico City, isn't it, bringing the Aztec Empire to an end.

00:47:06 so yeah that based day the very nice yeah very based day beast beast beast no uh i think human

00:47:14 sacrifice will end we're not big fans of that where we come from we'll just do it a spanish way

00:47:21 by get a special garrotting chair and garrot people instead makes sense makes perfect sense

00:47:26 to me listen torture is of a higher class than human sacrifice okay you've got to understand

00:47:32 And there's degrees to these things.

00:47:34 The state will still kill people,

00:47:36 but we'll do it with a garrot instead of a sharpened stone. 0.87

00:47:39 Listen, first you have a fake trial,

00:47:42 which makes it so much better.

00:47:44 So much better.

00:47:45 Quite right.

00:47:45 Yeah, there was a trial.

00:47:47 So that makes a difference.

00:47:49 Yeah, okay.

00:47:49 On this day in 1536,

00:47:51 Buddhist monks from a Kyoto temple

00:47:53 set fire to 21 other temples in Kyoto

00:47:56 as part of the Tenban Hokei disturbance. 0.56

00:47:59 I know a tiny bit about this.

00:48:01 don't know in massive detail but it's interesting coincidence even about six months ago maybe a year

00:48:05 ago i was watching some stuff about this but in the middle ages or even up to sort of what the

00:48:10 19th century um there's various types of warrior buddhist monks in japan they'd have rivalries

00:48:17 with other temples um well if you go back to the 16th century they're literally setting each

00:48:22 other's temples on fire they had sort of de facto armies of warrior buddhist buddhist monks that's

00:48:28 kind of cool yeah yeah that's really cool people did die horribly and but it was badass it's kind

00:48:36 of badass yeah okay on this day in 1642 the Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens discovers

00:48:42 Mars's southern uh polar cap that's cool I'm a big fan of Huygens the life and achievements and

00:48:49 work of Huygens is extremely important and very very interesting in my opinion this was about the

00:48:55 time like this sort of the middle late 17th century when telescopes got to such a point where

00:49:02 we really basically started discovering everything in the solar system not not like neptune or pleto

00:49:08 but most things oh there's loads and loads of moons everywhere and the asteroid belt and

00:49:14 and mars has got a polar cap and on and on and on we've been a great time to be alive for that

00:49:20 sort of thing anyway oh suddenly oh yeah there's a whole sort of universe of dynamic things going

00:49:26 on around us all the time we're not just in like this static static like empty void oh it's full

00:49:33 of things going on okay on this day in 1788 Prussia joins the Anglo-Dutch alliance to form

00:49:40 the triple alliance to prevent the spread of the Russo-Swedish war of 1788-1790 it's a kind of an

00:49:47 inconsequential war really was it would be uh gustav the third versus katherine the great

00:49:53 not one that i'm not sure in the end they went back to that um some wars end where the agreement

00:50:02 the peace treaty is will go back to exactly the situation before the war started the russo sometimes

00:50:07 wars do that and this was one of those so it's like would this have been a territorial war over

00:50:11 some parts of like what's now finland exactly yeah and modern day russia yeah it was gustav

00:50:17 third of sweden trying to invade russia and just so well every time it just stalled quite quickly

00:50:25 yeah i mean russia of the late 18th century is no sort of 1947 russia but still yeah it it was

00:50:33 a bit of a failed project on on sweden's prior to i mean obviously you have things like the 30

00:50:38 years war and the seven years war but like most most little wars that you've never heard of in

00:50:44 europe are literally just stuff like that where it's like some some king got it in his head that

00:50:48 this tiny little carve out of territory that belongs to him over there i want that and they

00:50:53 just fight it out for a year or two before eventually it's all negotiated and they're

00:50:57 friends again yeah it's quite amazing yeah particularly in the 17th and 18th century i

00:51:03 would say yeah but but in the 19th century all of a sudden like you get one of the more

00:51:07 consequential ones like that was the the franco-prussian war where where the germans are

00:51:12 like all right and we're going to take alsache lorraine pretty standard business you know we 0.97

00:51:17 you've lost so we're going to take a little bit of your territory the the french were not happy

00:51:22 with that they they really held a grudge over that tiny little strip of land for what like

00:51:29 40 50 years afterwards as well yeah well i mean the franco-prussian war of 1870 71 i've talked

00:51:35 about it before on on um epochs yeah um yeah that's that's a big you can't really understand

00:51:42 world war one properly without looking at the age of bismarck and the franco-prussian war of 1870

00:51:49 71 then there's like all sorts of paris communes and things afterwards like the whole napoleon

00:51:54 the third the whole french republic collapsed the germans at the palace of versailles telling

00:52:00 the french what the peace treaty is it's not like a little carve out it wasn't well yeah we'll have 0.72

00:52:05 a battle and then we'll claim alsace lorraine and that's it no it's much more seismic than that

00:52:09 uh but anyway anyway i haven't got time to go into it here certainly held a grudge over oh god yeah

00:52:14 yeah all the old men that controlled france in world war one were young men in 1870 and felt

00:52:19 the humiliation lived with that humiliation for 40 odd years or whatever yeah yeah okay uh in 1937

00:52:26 the second sino japanese war japanese forces started the battle of shanghai a three-month

00:52:32 conflict involving over one million troops and uh of course uh many many many murders and rapes

00:52:41 so yeah when people say world war ii started in 1939 when mr hitler and uncle joe invade poland

00:52:49 and uh mr chamberlain feels the need to declare war that's when world war ii started did it you

00:52:56 sure about that did it did it not start years before in china really really though i mean

00:53:05 had it not already started by september 1939 yeah basically yeah all right certainly on the eastern

00:53:12 front yeah if it's a world war sorry the pacific front if you look at the war as a total in the

00:53:17 totality as a global conflict it's impossible to argue it starts in september 1939 uh i've been

00:53:24 reading a book called japan's war which which talks about the japanese it's by a guy called

00:53:29 edwin p hoyt okay it's really really interesting very fast paced as well it's look obviously it's

00:53:34 looking at the whole thing from the japanese perspective and it is basically like obviously

00:53:38 in 1933 you get the rise of hitler and stuff but in the pacific that's when you start to see japan

00:53:45 really making moves against china uh and japan having this very imperial mindset of oh basically

00:53:52 the entirety of the east of the um the sort of like Eurasia and the Australasia like this whole

00:54:00 territory is ours by destiny and it's almost like Game of Thrones where as you're reading it

00:54:07 you get all of these reformers and all of these radicals and they're fighting one another and

00:54:12 it's like Game of Thrones in that gradually bit by bit the radicals just start murdering 0.92

00:54:19 all of the reformers they will literally just like break into your house and stab you in your 0.80

00:54:23 sleep and kill your wife and your family and the emperor will bring the leader who organized the 0.99

00:54:29 whole coup in and say that was very bad i don't want you to do that again and they'll go i'm sorry 1.00

00:54:34 i've brought great dishonor i'm going to step down and then the next guy who takes that position

00:54:38 is even more radical than the last guy who was in that and goes like oh there's more people in our 0.97

00:54:44 way okay we'll just kill all of them as well and the emperor will do the same it will happen over

00:54:48 and over again until it's just a completely radicalized military state yeah yeah there was 0.99

00:54:53 lots and lots of political assassinations in japan throughout the 20s and 30s in order to

00:55:00 keep a super hardline militaristic uh or a on paper nominally civilian government but just

00:55:09 controlled by the military yeah and if there's elements within the military which aren't hard

00:55:13 enough they find themselves assassinated yeah and it's almost comical how the m how cooked the

00:55:19 emperor was for the whole thing like technically it was all being done in his name technically he

00:55:23 was like this god emperor whose word could not be contradicted but because of like the tradition of

00:55:29 oh the emperor just sort of sits there and nods along the emperor himself this all-powerful being

00:55:33 was basically like well i can't do anything can i yeah i've got a long form piece of content um

00:55:40 called on epochs do consider sign up for as little as a five pound a month bronze team

00:55:44 membership that's loadseaters.com loadseaters.com where it's called a long form bit i think it's

00:55:49 closer to two hours called i called it the road to pearl harbor where i talk all about japan basically

00:55:55 uh very very briefly touch on 18th century stuff into the 19th century and how they ended up

00:56:00 making the decision to try and sink the entire us fleet at pearl in in 41. um yeah okay

00:56:10 check that out yeah check that out okay here we go on this day in 1942 the

00:56:15 Manhattan Project commences under the direction of US General Leslie Groves

00:56:19 with the aim of developing an atomic bomb they go fascinating stuff I've talked

00:56:25 all about the bomb a number of times both on but not I've never done a whole

00:56:29 piece of long-form content just focusing on it but nonetheless I have talked about

00:56:33 one time I did a conversation with Dan Carling the Dan Carling that's on

00:56:37 history bro just behind you harry there uh is a a fake a fake hundred thousand subscriber thing

00:56:46 just i wish history bro had a hundred thousand subs that's just entirely fake that little harry

00:56:51 made that as a thing um aspirational yeah yeah yeah uh on on there i've got a conversation

00:56:57 getting a couple of hours i think or shire to shire with the dan carlin one of the all-time

00:57:02 great history podcasters and in that we talk a bit about the bomb and various stuff but i'm

00:57:08 fascinated by at some point i would have thought at some point or i did uh i did a bit on state

00:57:14 of politics with nate about the british bomb about how the brits after the war decided we wanted to

00:57:20 make our own nuclear bomb uh clement attley greenlit it and it was finally achieved under

00:57:25 churchill's second premiership in like 52 53 um so i'm fascinated by the history of nukes

00:57:32 um okay on this day in 1942 leslie groves people always think about um

00:57:40 all the other scientists oppenheim and all the other scientists that were involved in it but

00:57:44 if it wasn't for leslie groves general groves it may may not have happened or it might not

00:57:49 have happened probably almost certainly wouldn't have happened as efficiently and as a quick as

00:57:53 as quickly as it did but okay all right let's have a look at our rumble rants and super chats

00:57:57 now it's that part of the show because that was the last factoid wasn't it let me just double

00:58:01 check yep that was the last main historical factoid all right well we have global church

00:58:06 history in at number one this morning he usually gives us another couple of factoids let's have a

00:58:09 look here yes okay so global church history that's his real name by the way oh that's his christian

00:58:16 name yeah his parents called him global and they his middle name is church and the family surnames

00:58:22 history so that's his real name you messing with me of course i am yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's

00:58:28 not true at all that's not true at all i just think it's mildly funny to say that nearly every

00:58:32 day okay global church history says today in 554 ad emperor saint justinian that's justinian the

00:58:38 first saint justinian reorganized and reintegrated italy so that's the reconquest of the western

00:58:45 roman attempted reconquest of the rome western roman empire by the eastern roman empire

00:58:50 which was successful briefly and his great generalissimo belisarius do you think i've got

00:58:56 long-form content in fact more than one episode all about belisarius and justinian's reconquest

00:59:00 of the west on on epochs do you reckon i've got that i would expect so it is there yeah there you

00:59:06 go it is there if anyone's interested i've talked a lot about justinian there's a whole another bit

00:59:10 of content on history bro again with um somebody else all about just just talking about justinian

00:59:16 um okay and the other factor i had from global church history he says in 1532 the duchy of

00:59:22 britney was integrated into france via the edict of union yeah that's later than a lot of people

00:59:27 might think so that'll be francis francis the first that's the age of henry the eighth

00:59:31 henry and francis great double act um britney you would have thought oh britney was part of

00:59:38 france centuries before that wasn't it even a thousand years before that wasn't it nope

00:59:42 nope the modern nation of france is much much much younger than england much much younger

00:59:51 i mean isn't isn't england one of the oldest among the oldest yeah that's right yeah all the

00:59:57 i mean nation states on continental europe are a very modern development italy and germany in

01:00:03 19th century yeah yeah which is just ridiculous to think about because i mean there's the historic

01:00:08 german people but the actual the the historic um italian people people talked about italy in the

01:00:14 ancient world but it's not the modern state of italy though yeah yeah yeah okay 14 barber says

01:00:21 morning mate all right i'm all right thanks how are you sir he says it's nice to see uh the spice

01:00:27 bow harry i thought we were all spice carl yeah yeah mixed up spice cars come on um shame the

01:00:34 welding mask didn't work i know a young man who had high hopes for it that's mr dicky bingo um

01:00:40 i'm bored of the heat now chaps but have a great day well thank you very much

01:00:44 thank you pigdog5150 says i second what that therefore t and barber did done wrote

01:00:50 um i am i'm fed up of the heat wave also and the last one and any more on it on the way

01:00:58 having having to tank in water for my reservoir now ridiculous oh really oh having to tank it in 0.90

01:01:07 right okay so because he's a farmer pig dog oh spent 20 years in finance but now he's a farmer 0.79

01:01:11 so fair play noble profession yeah noble noble uh thing to do i i'm i'm kind of unique i like the

01:01:18 heat i i like the sunshine i really love it uh but i can understand if you're a farmer

01:01:24 yeah this isn't what you want being quite fair though because i'm quite fair and you're like

01:01:29 reasonably blonde some say ginger i think that's unfair thank you uh do you not just burn though

01:01:35 do you not just burn in the heat no don't you uh well i mean i can but eventually it turns into a

01:01:41 pretty nice tan so you know my dad's absurd my dad is already like you wouldn't think it i look

01:01:47 not much like my dad these days he's got very olive skin he's he looks he looks more dark

01:01:54 he's got brown eyes blackish brown hair and uh in in the sun he doesn't burn he just goes

01:02:02 dark dark brown very dark brown to the point that when my mum's friends first met him

01:02:08 in the 80s they just got back off holiday from Ibiza and my mum's friends took her to the side

01:02:15 when they met him and my dad he wasn't helping himself he had a mustache grown out at the time 0.72

01:02:18 as well and they go so sharon since when you've been going out with this indian bloke then oh

01:02:25 out oh right to the heart oh good god yeah hurts man yeah hurts well i don't know if i'm just

01:02:36 suspicious of that and glad it's not me or jealous of it i'm not sure i've got mixed feelings because

01:02:41 i've i've never had a tan in my life i'm not joking i'm not exaggerating i've never ever had a tan

01:02:47 i will burn yeah never i will burn peel and then underneath that burn i'm milky white again 0.52

01:02:55 i've never had a tan it's like you're so you're so white that your body has an inbuilt defense

01:03:03 against turning any shade lighter than milk yeah yeah i respect it i respect it i mean i used when

01:03:09 when i was younger as well i had more freckles than i've got now and sometimes the freckles

01:03:12 would get sort of bit not bigger but like more joined up a bit that's it that's the closest i

01:03:16 would get yeah never ever tanned yeah also chat is now confirming that i'm indian harry black man

01:03:23 harry is half delhi harry essing all over the office floor oh no but you did your dna we all

01:03:31 did our dna didn't we yeah i'm one of the most english in the office right you came back pretty

01:03:34 clean yeah no i've like my dad's just some kind of like um i don't know pre-modern holdover no it

01:03:42 does happen doesn't it like so like there's people like tom jones or raw egg nationalists

01:03:46 they're genuinely north western european but they're just darker in complexion that is totally

01:03:54 totally a real thing i'm just it really just because cheddar man was massively exaggerated

01:03:59 so they could be like so you're black you're all black really doesn't mean that yeah western

01:04:04 hunter gatherers they would have had darker skin than we have now that's just an acknowledged fact

01:04:10 i should get i really want to get tom rosell aka survive the drive on here and yeah he's brilliant

01:04:15 yeah but he said i don't get the details of this wrong but there's certainly um migrations of

01:04:21 people in prehistory sort of the bell beaker culture and stuff the corded ware people

01:04:26 and they're originally from sort of the central asian steppe really or modern day turkey or i

01:04:34 think tom was telling me one time that their closest dna is like people on sardinia and stuff

01:04:39 anyway they're not milky white blonde haired red haired blue eyed they're not that's all stuff that

01:04:45 developed later they're sort of dark they are darker in complexion brown haired dark colored

01:04:50 hair so all right anyway anyway let's move on what else have we got here um chango 98 says

01:04:58 hey bo long time listener here in fact we met at the low seaters live all right lanky blonde fella

01:05:04 you took a gnarly eyebrow pic with i must admit loads of people asked me for a pic there loads

01:05:10 like a few dozen yeah and nearly all of them i couldn't help myself nearly all of them i ended

01:05:15 up just going like that so there'll be quite a few people out there with a selfie with me and i'm

01:05:20 interesting the ridiculous over-the-top exaggerated bow brow i'd say it's it's perfectly tampered

01:05:27 certainly after a couple of drinks there's no way i'm not going to do the brow so okay he said

01:05:33 took your advice for the eclipse yesterday and can't wait for my guide dog's arrival

01:05:38 for anyone who doesn't know mr dicky bingo said he's going to watch it through his dad's welder's

01:05:43 mask and that's not a great idea although and i was quick to tweet at him later that day and i

01:05:49 think i've got cameron to put a disclaimer on it and everything although later people on twitter

01:05:52 say no it is okay apparently there's there's loads of different grades of welding mask yeah i saw

01:05:58 that there's loads of different grades i knew i didn't know any of this some won't work and you

01:06:02 will burn your retinas out and some will totally work and you'll be fine we didn't realize news to

01:06:07 me we didn't realize yesterday that we'd actually started an active disinformation campaign to

01:06:12 confuse people on social media i uh i even said it was such in good faith yesterday

01:06:18 if you watch the clip i saw the clip you seemed so pleased with yourself yeah i even said

01:06:24 i would do that so it's genuinely in good faith and i meant that i wasn't lying i was like i would

01:06:29 didn't do that i was with him during the eclipse he didn't do it can you trust this man folks can

01:06:35 you really trust this man does he have your best interests in mind ask yourselves ask yourselves

01:06:42 is he even really shaving his head

01:06:44 it's a bald cat

01:06:46 we found out yesterday

01:06:48 Fro

01:06:49 put Calvin Robinson to shame

01:06:52 can you trust this man 1.00

01:06:53 giant blonde Fro

01:06:54 bushy bushy blonde hairdo 0.62

01:06:55 I've got under this

01:06:56 yeah

01:06:56 no

01:06:57 I

01:07:00 I

01:07:00 I really hope nobody

01:07:02 used

01:07:03 a lame

01:07:05 welding mask

01:07:06 and looked at the sun

01:07:07 because I found an article

01:07:08 where it's a guy in 1999

01:07:10 watched the eclipse through

01:07:11 his welder's mask and it was good enough protection that he could look at the sun in real time and not

01:07:16 feel any pain so he looked at it for ages and then the next day he started getting problems with his

01:07:22 eyes he goes to the doctor and yeah he burnt his retinas out oh yeah so he wasn't completely blind

01:07:27 he's just left with a big black spot in the middle of his vision forever i mean that's gonna happen

01:07:31 if you stare at the sun directly for long enough outside of an eclipse something like that's going

01:07:36 to happen eventually isn't it but then lots of people were saying no no there's this different

01:07:39 type of welder's mask and you'll be absolutely fine it's good enough quality so anyway all right

01:07:44 let's move on from that i'm sure i'll probably get more than one comment about this so now i've

01:07:47 explained it people will get it all right fallen firebird says harry is correct about the peak

01:07:51 district certain parts of the area like dove stones dove stones um and snake pass are absolutely

01:07:59 swarming with foreigners it's adjacent to manchester and sheffield rotherham yeah i think

01:08:04 it was the dove stones i went to is that the part where there's the little stones that go across the

01:08:08 stream and it's surrounded by large valleys uh because i think that's where i went to because 1.00

01:08:13 yeah it was it was swarming with you know like nigerians indians pakistanis and they were all 1.00

01:08:20 just like they're just they're just kind of a public nuisance aren't they they're in the wrong 1.00

01:08:26 country they're in the wrong country they're an obstruction yeah they're an eyesore they need to 0.99

01:08:31 be sent back to the land of their ancestors yeah their countries of origin all right um 0.95

01:08:38 thick tages says the craziest thing i witnessed yesterday was the hundreds of birds flying into

01:08:43 each other due to being confused by the eclipse i thought i was in a hitchcock movie that's

01:08:48 interesting oh wow have you ever seen the birds i've watched a lot of hitchcock but not the birds

01:08:53 it's all right it's not bad people say it's like a an all-time great classic it's not bad it's

01:08:57 worth a watch but it's not going to change your life anyway one of my favorites you should all

01:09:00 go out and watch rope yes 1948 hitchcock with jimmy stewart in it fantastic film rope is brilliant

01:09:06 yeah my favorite hitchcocks are uh rear window and rope yeah i also want to watch his dial m for

01:09:12 murder because i've seen that that's good i went to um the theater last month to watch that like

01:09:16 a live performance of it it was great so i need to see his version as well now ages ago probably

01:09:20 10 years ago i went through a phase rear window is great too rear window superb one of my favorite

01:09:25 films of all time is rear window i went through a phase about probably about 10 years ago maybe

01:09:28 more i decided i wanted to watch every hitchcock film ever made and i somehow found there's a lot

01:09:33 and there's loads yeah i somehow found like a big box set of them all on dvd yeah and watching them

01:09:39 and they were nearly all good the only one i remember really watching and being like this is

01:09:42 crap and boring was marnie there's a film called marnie yeah that was with uh tippy hedron he cast

01:09:50 tippy hedron loads of things anyway give marnie a skip in my opinion but loads of them are good 0.91

01:09:55 Those ones people have never even really heard of.

01:09:57 Okay, moving on.

01:10:53 pig dog again says 3.1 million people living in the uk were born outside the uk 13.1 sorry sorry

01:10:59 that's a that's an order of magnitude bigger number you're right yeah 13.1 and it's probably 0.96

01:11:05 more than that it probably is way more than that to the terms of millions more than that

01:11:10 um living in the uk were born outside the uk obviously the stelios can stay but 9.2 million

01:11:17 are non-EU born Indian, Pakistan, African

01:11:21 and other Asian Middle Eastern origins

01:11:23 goals

01:11:24 goals, I don't know what that means

01:11:26 yeah, it's too many 1.00

01:11:29 we need to deport millions of people that shouldn't be here 0.96

01:11:31 this island and the infrastructure 0.99

01:11:33 and our culture, our very culture

01:11:34 the fabric of our society

01:11:36 can't handle it

01:11:37 our schools, the NHS

01:11:40 dentists, roads

01:11:43 housing and on and on

01:11:44 the prisons and on and on and on

01:11:46 can't handle it

01:11:47 to the tune of millions of people i mean to open our borders since 1997 was insane

01:11:53 even if we insane could handle it we would never ask right we never voted we never wanted it in

01:12:00 the first place it's not brought any benefit to the british people that i can think of only

01:12:06 detriments and crime we do already have the the recipes so they don't need to be here so

01:12:12 i agree with the we were never asked me although nate does like to point out we kind of were asked

01:12:19 and we were so we replied no we don't want it oh yes actually in a way you know it's a bit of a

01:12:24 fedora tipper actually it's a fair point at the very least brexit and then 2019 were both actually

01:12:30 we don't want this and which point the government went oh sorry i misheard you and let in millions

01:12:36 more people instead yeah you don't want mass migration okay here's a boris wave then

01:12:43 okay fallen firebird says um imbalanced treaties like franco-prussia and world war one should be

01:12:51 a lesson often it's not just the material conditions that stings it's the humiliation

01:12:57 the psychic impact that causes anger yeah very true point fair point yeah you know absolutely 0.69

01:13:02 won't disagree with that pig dog 5150 again says i have all the islanders thus far have i read them

01:13:08 nope ha ha keeping them mint i mean to be fair that rory does such a good job on the covers alone

01:13:14 that that the 14.99 is worth it just so you can have them as an art piece plus postage and

01:13:19 packaging if you live a long way away there's a fair bit more money on that but just so you know

01:13:23 true true but yeah it's just like an art piece frame and put them on your wall roy's done a

01:13:28 great job with the covers they look amazing well cole's policy of not ever reprinting any

01:13:33 does mean that there really is a finite amount of them very finite amount of them which means

01:13:39 their resale value already is really high that's huge like an islander one a mint condition

01:13:45 islander one if you've got all our signatures in it as well actually goes for surprising amount of

01:13:50 money on ebay or whatever surprising amount so yeah if you've got the full set collect the full

01:13:55 set then next time we throw a live event perhaps we might have some copies still available that

01:14:00 you could buy live we have we have got we've got a little bit of a little bit of a secret 0.80

01:14:06 collection of some so for exactly this sort of thing clever clever all right um pig dog again

01:14:14 says dream theater prefer rush and pink floyd yeah see i respect and pink floyd i love both of those

01:14:21 bands i'm with pig dog on that one give me a bit of floyd but rush neither rush nor pink floyd ever

01:14:29 had a run as good as dream theaters from metropolis two scenes from a memory up until

01:14:35 black clouds and silver linings banger after banger he's making these words up they're not

01:14:39 real albums or anything they're just made they are real they are real as in fact even on the

01:14:45 backs of angels the first man genie album also great album there you go you heard it straight

01:14:50 from big harry who knows what he's talking about yeah look at those super chats and the final

01:14:54 rumble rant from fallen firebird says following on one thing that uh really radicalized me was

01:14:59 hiking on woodhead pass and walking by an idyllic stream where a random african family were

01:15:06 performing some witch doctor ritual wtf oh it's just it's just unpleasant it's hostile you don't 0.98

01:15:12 want to go to these places when you know that that's something that you're going to see because

01:15:15 you yeah like we're english we go to these places for peace and quiet like near me there's the

01:15:21 sandstone trail and i love going for a walk down different parts of the sandstone trail

01:15:26 and if i knew walking down that trail i would just be bombarded with hideous sights like that

01:15:33 just wouldn't do it anymore yeah yeah again they're in the wrong country if you're performing

01:15:39 some witch doctor ritual in the middle of rural england there's something wrong profoundly wrong 0.96

01:15:45 there they're not integrating i don't want them to attempt to integrate i want them to go back to 0.82

01:15:50 their countries of origin okay whole bunch of bloody hell quite a lot of youtube so i'm gonna

01:15:59 have to sort of whip through them a bit um okay mr dickie bingo in at number one i hope he's still 0.86

01:16:05 got his eyes sucked oh well it's not looking good i saw that he liked my tweet when i warned him 0.72

01:16:10 i added him he liked it he retweeted it and he put a reply so and then he did it anyway so my 0.98

01:16:16 hands are clean if he did burn his own eyeballs out it's not on me he says hit his eye a blind 0.53

01:16:23 bingo oh no on the plus side i have a free sight dog and a welding mask manufacturer is paying me

01:16:31 never to mention their product all worked out in the end yeah yeah everyone's a winner everyone's

01:16:36 a winner he's blind now but everyone's a winner though so no i'm glad uh if he did if he genuinely

01:16:44 somehow got in touch with me and he said i did watch it through my old dad's welding goggles

01:16:48 and i have got terror like they've got a big black spot permanently in my vision now i would feel

01:16:53 i would feel terrible i'd feel terrible for my whole the rest of my life about that if that had

01:16:57 happened yeah for real for real i think enough damage control was done blind bingo i think he's

01:17:03 going to live happily ever after i got cameron to put like a bunch of disclaimers and warnings

01:17:08 over the all over the place so okay uh james leap heaven hole says all government spending is

01:17:13 paid for through taxation and income from nationalized industry exports before government

01:17:19 it was the royal crest through taxes royal chest oh sorry sorry royal chest through taxes yeah it's

01:17:26 interesting when it's like the royal household even up to like what the 17th into the 8th 17th

01:17:33 into the 18th century although you could argue that even thomas cronwell in the age of henry

01:17:37 the 8th in the 16th century there's sort of a national purse a national checker interesting

01:17:42 note interesting point all right i'll move on though max robe said that the moon for the frisians

01:17:47 that's an in joke this chap or whatever we're talking about something wherever it is for the

01:17:50 frisians like wherever it is in the world now he's gone to the moon the moon for the frisians

01:17:57 okay love it chris 281 says poll suggestion uh what do you call a large group of harry's

01:18:04 like a collective noun for harry's a herd a gang a flock a band a troop etc i'd go with a troop

01:18:09 personally a troop that's what i that's what i would vote for yeah i like the idea of um a cloud

01:18:16 of harry's a clan of harry's a clan yeah a clan of harry's although that might have some

01:18:21 worrying implications a crash of harry's a bang of harry's so you have a crash of rhinos

01:18:29 i didn't know the collective noun for rhinos is a crash of oh it makes sense actually yeah

01:18:34 i can see how they came to that one a crash of harry's i like that best okay james lee

01:18:39 heavenhole says salford uni salford uh once belonged to randall fourth earl of chester

01:18:43 and my paralineal 22nd great-grandfather

01:18:48 through the Lees and Cheshire at Darn Hall.

01:18:51 Nice.

01:18:52 I went to Salford Uni.

01:18:55 Yeah, yeah, it must be.

01:18:56 Thanks.

01:18:56 I visited Chester, the town of Chester,

01:18:59 not too long ago.

01:19:01 Lovely town.

01:19:01 Absolutely lovely, yeah.

01:19:03 Big Roman amphitheatre there.

01:19:05 Or ruins of it, at least.

01:19:07 My primary school trip was to go to Chester

01:19:09 and be led around by a man in a Roman centurion outfit

01:19:12 Across the Roman walls

01:19:14 Telling us about all the history

01:19:15 And going and looking at the amphitheatre

01:19:17 Lovely, lovely place

01:19:18 And there's walls there

01:19:19 Yeah, it's nice

01:19:19 Yeah, it's a very nice place

01:19:20 Okay, Stu Sutton 1977

01:19:22 Is occasionally first in

01:19:23 Not today though

01:19:24 He says

01:19:24 Anagram of Eamon Holmes

01:19:26 Is Salem non-home

01:19:29 Evil

01:19:30 Do you know the in-joke about Eamon Holmes

01:19:33 On The Breakfast with Home?

01:19:35 You don't know

01:19:35 You don't watch Breakfast with Home regularly

01:19:37 You've not accused him of something heinous

01:19:39 Have you, by accident?

01:19:40 Yeah, that's exactly it

01:19:41 Oh, okay

01:19:41 Yeah

01:19:42 i was talking about hugh edwards once i i have heard this and i was just saying eamon holmes

01:19:48 in my mind i know the difference between hugh edwards and eamon holmes i know they're very

01:19:52 different men they both work for the bbc right so therefore you know there's there's a there's

01:19:57 a non-zero chance that you'll be proven right oh poor old eamon get well soon ames oh sorry

01:20:04 don't mean that he's had a terrible stroke or heart oh bloody hell oh all right then so um

01:20:10 But you know, you must have known what it's like when you misspeak.

01:20:12 Often you don't hear it.

01:20:14 No, I've never made a mistake.

01:20:15 Oh, that's quite right.

01:20:16 Not once.

01:20:17 Quite right.

01:20:17 Don't put a mark on my record, Bo.

01:20:19 Come on.

01:20:20 Come on.

01:20:21 So I said Eamon Holmes when I went here.

01:20:23 Now the in-joke is accusing Eamon Holmes for things he blatantly didn't do.

01:20:28 Okay.

01:20:29 All right.

01:20:30 CG Mam. 1.00

01:20:55 and I said yeah yeah and that's a travesty

01:20:57 it must change

01:20:58 that kind of influence needs to be checked

01:21:02 absolutely

01:21:02 Machiavelli would be spinning in his grave

01:21:05 don't allow your enemies to have that sort of control and power over you it's all part of

01:21:09 Modi's like um national plans as well just send out as many people as possible to random countries

01:21:15 and because of our DEI laws it's like well you basically get immediately handed a CEO position

01:23:25 i watched an interesting youtube video claiming that claiming that the reason the oil price hasn't

01:23:31 gone up is because china has stopped buying not sure if true interesting yeah i don't know if

01:23:35 that's true but if true interesting still still doesn't explain why they've gone up price has

01:23:40 gone up so much again at the pump at the pump yeah well that's something else entirely yeah

01:23:44 but yeah i spoke a little bit about there's all sorts of shenanigans and machinations going on

01:23:49 in southeast asia to do with cruise that comes out of the ground there and there's the venezuela

01:23:54 thing and there's the massive fracking operations in continental united states it's a really complex

01:24:01 picture when you start going down that rabbit hole and researching about it it's it's very very

01:24:05 complex um okay i've got a crack on here ljnv says fellas speak to charlie about teaching the masses

01:24:11 about the one most important things you can do to shift people's consciousness and perspective

01:24:17 mass messaging needed south africa still has liberals speak to charlie talk about charlie

01:24:23 downs so what like a restore kind of like media wing like specific messaging going out to people

01:24:30 i don't know that's interesting though i mean it's worth some absolutely worth some thought

01:24:34 it is still bizarre that south africa has like white guilt liberals yeah some people can't be

01:24:39 helped yeah a lot of them move out from south africa as well it's like they know that south 0.99

01:24:44 africa is a massive asshole and then they move out they move out of the country and then they're 0.95

01:24:48 like oh but but we were still so racist and evil you know we kind of deserved it it's like 1.00

01:24:52 Stick up for yourself, man

01:24:54 Throw a spine 1.00

01:24:55 Nearly all the white South Africans I've ever met 0.99

01:24:58 Have emigrated, have left South Africa 0.99

01:25:00 Because it's just insane 0.99

01:25:01 You're likely to get murdered at some point

01:25:05 That's how bad it is 0.60

01:25:06 I once worked with a guy called Ted

01:25:09 Tid

01:25:09 In, where was it, I can't remember now

01:25:12 State Street or something, or Northern Trust it was

01:25:14 Nice guy, absolutely nice guy

01:25:17 Not a bad word to say about him

01:25:19 Little Ted

01:25:19 and he said whenever he goes back to south africa to visit family and stuff

01:25:25 his brother meets him at the airport and the second they get out the airport on like walking

01:25:30 to the car in the car park his brother hands him his glock and he's armed at all times from that

01:25:36 point on yep you want to live in a society like that well and you might get carjacked or just 0.55

01:25:42 home invaded at any moment well for the americans watching it's not because the south africans have

01:25:47 just such a great deal of pride in their right to carry firearms it's because if they don't they 1.00

01:25:52 will get potentially uh murdered that day there's like a coin toss i wouldn't want to live in such

01:25:58 a society i really wouldn't okay ljmv again says uh have two mean clips on how to see through

01:26:06 emotional manipulation to see through emotional manipulation psychological shift is what gets us

01:26:13 in this mess everything is downstream from that p.s elon should start his own hollywood yeah the

01:26:19 emotional manipulation of it is very important the psyop sort of element of it is very very very

01:26:23 important if not absolutely critical you say everything's downstream of that in a sense yeah

01:26:27 in a sense and i would love elon or one of the other billionaires to make regularly high quality

01:26:35 high-budget super-based nationalist patriotic movies that would be great as a uh or even just

01:26:45 old school 1980s style as long as the as long as he's just if he's giving money to people as long

01:26:52 as they're talented people who are going to make good movies that aren't just woke propaganda

01:26:57 just do that

01:26:59 although

01:27:00 Hollywood

01:27:02 I don't know

01:27:03 I feel like Hollywood

01:27:04 is rolled back

01:27:05 a little bit

01:27:06 from the height

01:27:06 of how bad it was

01:27:08 a little bit

01:27:09 but it's still

01:27:11 yeah it's still not great

01:27:12 it's still really not great

01:27:13 look at the Odyssey

01:27:14 race swapping 0.98

01:27:15 Helen of Troy 0.63

01:27:16 with a scarred up 0.79

01:27:17 sub-Saharan 0.99

01:27:18 they've rolled it back

01:27:19 a little bit

01:27:20 I'll grant you that

01:27:21 but that's Christopher Nolan

01:27:22 the most overrated

01:27:23 filmmaker of the

01:27:24 21st century

01:27:25 but it's

01:27:27 i've seen people complaining like there's the new x-men film that marvel is doing and people are

01:27:32 complaining that they've basically just like taken all of the non-white x-men characters and gone

01:27:38 they're not part of this one now and they're really annoyed that the main cast of characters

01:27:43 of the x-men is going to be all white which i could have imagined marvel even like having the

01:27:48 balls to do back in 2020 2021 not that i care about marvel it's just something that i've seen

01:27:54 people complaining about and it could could be a shift maybe maybe not it's difficult to tell if

01:28:00 it's signal or noise um if elon or some other based billionaire just get some writers that write

01:28:08 based stories based screenplays and a director is not going to race swap people and make those

01:28:16 films that would be lovely wouldn't it okay gonna whip through these a few here fuchshammer 95

01:28:21 I have, says, pardon me, pardon me, says, Harry, are you a sleep token appreciator or

01:28:29 hater?

01:28:29 Not a fan.

01:28:30 I don't know what that is.

01:28:31 Is that a band called Sleep Token?

01:28:33 I don't know what this is.

01:28:34 They're a band.

01:28:35 I'm not a fan.

01:28:37 I've never heard of them, so I can't give you an opinion.

01:28:40 Josh D. Reaver, or Drever, Driver, Josh Driver, says, Drivia, says, you know, I know Harry's

01:28:50 not metal he gets his metallica shirts from top shop guilty as charged joking love you harry no 0.93

01:28:58 homo uh i love you too very homo there you go okay irwin romula super fan says how are you sir 0.92

01:29:07 says um do not speak to me of culture prequel boy shots fired yeah shots fired oh yeah also 0.97

01:29:17 metallica have been 90 lame and gay for over 35 years now what say you i'm rare i'm rare i love 0.75

01:29:24 load i love reload i uh i love death magnetic and it's after death magnetic for me that it really 0.85

01:29:31 starts to go downhill but you know that's just me that's just me each to their own each to their

01:29:35 own you're it's a free country kind of not really but okay you're allowed that opinion don't pretend

01:29:40 like you don't allow it you know any of the songs off the albums i'm talking oh i've heard of those

01:29:45 No, but I couldn't tell you the individual songs.

01:29:46 All right, all right.

01:29:47 I'm not a massive Metallica fan.

01:29:49 Yeah, yeah.

01:29:49 Far from it, far from it.

01:29:51 Again, give me like the who.

01:29:52 Well, Load and Reload,

01:29:53 when they went like bluesy hard rock

01:29:57 rather than heavy metal 0.94

01:29:58 and people like shat themselves,

01:30:00 I'm sorry, over it in the 90s

01:30:02 and they cut their hair.

01:30:03 They're like, oh my God,

01:30:04 this isn't metal anymore.

01:30:06 But you could go back to those albums

01:30:07 and go, there's bangers on there.

01:30:09 Okay, all right.

01:30:11 Justin Green says,

01:30:13 it is bin day

01:30:14 pardon me

01:30:16 it is bin day

01:30:17 also the return

01:30:18 review when

01:30:19 the return

01:30:20 is that a movie

01:30:21 there's

01:30:22 any number of

01:30:24 things called

01:30:25 the return

01:30:25 so you're going to

01:30:26 have to narrow that

01:30:27 down a bit

01:30:27 although

01:30:28 actually we didn't

01:30:29 talk about Clacton

01:30:30 incredibly

01:30:31 how did we not

01:30:31 talk about Clacton

01:30:32 it's the Clacton

01:30:33 by-election today

01:30:34 isn't it

01:30:35 is it today

01:30:35 I think it's

01:30:36 polling day today

01:30:37 isn't it

01:30:38 none of the

01:30:39 newspapers

01:30:39 have thought about it

01:30:40 you know what

01:30:41 maybe I'm just

01:30:42 wrong then

01:30:42 maybe i'm just wrong about that because in fact little harry would you mind googling that to be

01:30:47 sure because i thought today i would have to go to the physically go to the corner shop the londis

01:30:52 and buy the physical papers and hold them up because it's polling day and they don't do they

01:30:58 don't show you front pages of papers on the on the bbc website because it's polling day that's

01:31:02 unusual yeah events so i was ready to have to go to londis and physically buy the papers

01:31:07 But then I saw that it is just on there

01:31:10 All the Eclipse front pages

01:31:11 So maybe I'm just terribly wrong

01:31:13 Is it next Thursday or something?

01:31:14 Harry, is it Clinton polling day?

01:31:16 No, it is today

01:31:17 Then it's odd

01:31:19 Maybe it's just because they went with the Eclipse

01:31:21 Or even on all the other main websites

01:31:25 It's not really front and centre at all

01:31:28 I mean look, BBC

01:31:29 They're not talking about it

01:31:31 Well to be fair

01:31:31 Since the whole Rupert versus Nigel thing

01:31:36 got into kicked into full gear i feel like the whole clacton by-election storyline yeah count

01:31:42 bin face just got oh look there he is public back bin face but farage only likely to extend his

01:31:47 majority oh yeah because nigel's gonna win it easily yeah it's like they all just went well 0.90

01:31:52 this is a joke so why even pay attention it's a joke and nigel will absolutely cane it with like 0.80

01:31:57 70 75 80 of the vote yeah so it's not much of a story in that sense is it yeah there you are you 0.55

01:32:04 to scroll down a bit even on the mail they were like you know like the itv not it's not we're

01:32:10 really going to embarrass farage with this one and it's like oh he's just going to easily win

01:32:13 oh never mind then it's not yeah right yeah they've all decided the lame streamer decided it's

01:32:19 not really important look scrolling down scrolling down where is it yeah we're just going to hear

01:32:24 tomorrow that oh farage wins with like massive majority 73 or whatever yeah yeah yeah bin face

01:32:32 maybe gets as much as 20%, maybe.

01:32:35 Lawrence Fox gets like one, two percent.

01:32:37 That's the story.

01:32:38 That's what it's going to be.

01:32:39 So, reclaim.

01:32:40 The reclaim party.

01:32:42 Either that or maybe like Kai Stevens comes in

01:32:45 with like thumping majority.

01:32:47 Out of nowhere.

01:32:48 Kai Stevens, 90%.

01:32:50 Can you believe it?

01:32:51 Unseats for us.

01:32:52 No, it won't. 0.87

01:32:54 I mean, go Kaya. 0.97

01:32:55 Good luck to your buddy.

01:32:57 It was nice having him.

01:32:58 But he's going to get...

01:33:00 He'll lose his deposit when he probably...

01:33:02 I hope he doesn't.

01:33:04 I hope he doesn't.

01:33:06 I hope he doesn't. 1.00

01:33:07 Nige will absolutely thump it to the tune of 17-75%. 1.00

01:33:11 All right. 0.99

01:33:12 That's why it's not really a story this morning.

01:33:16 All right.

01:33:16 And we'll bring the result to you tomorrow.

01:33:18 All right.

01:33:19 Let's carry on here.

01:33:19 Double A Batteries 2001.

01:37:04 yeah we had uh the british had uh a project called tube alloys there was just a that's a

01:37:12 fake name like a code name almost to sort of look at when the physics was clear you could make a bomb

01:37:18 we started working on it first and the americans were like no we're not interested in that then

01:37:22 world war ii happens they're like we're interested in it now so a lot of physicists and scientists

01:37:28 that worked on the Manhattan Project were British.

01:37:30 Ahead of the curve. 0.92

01:37:32 Okay.

01:37:34 Lofa Sheffield and other superfans.

01:37:40 Peart, Rush, End of, so there.

01:37:43 See, many of the best drummers in the world

01:37:45 would also agree with you.

01:37:47 Neil Peart was a legend.

01:37:48 Rest in peace to him.

01:37:50 So, yeah, can't really argue with that.

01:37:51 It was fantastic.

01:37:52 Fair enough.

01:37:53 A bit of consensus there.

01:37:55 Never heard of him myself.

01:37:56 Kiefer Brown, 1337.

01:37:58 says fact uh the lanky of the harry the crappier the pole i mean it got enough engagement so there

01:38:23 favorite but great drummer i was never really into at all but a lot of my uh friends were so i've

01:38:34 as far as i go yeah they're not too heavy or anything yeah their songs actually sound like

01:38:37 songs to me yeah they've got plenty of good rather than just plenty of good stuff my favorite album

01:38:41 by them 96 enema that's a classic okay i've missed my place here where am i have i gone way too far

01:38:48 Oh my god, we've gone way too down.

01:38:52 Where is it?

01:38:53 It was Symphony X.

01:38:55 It was this one.

01:38:56 Okay, so David Betts says,

01:38:59 Symphony X is a better prog metal band than DT.

01:39:04 Listen to a bit of their stuff.

01:39:06 It's all right.

01:39:08 It's all right, yeah.

01:39:09 It's good.

01:41:08 For us

01:41:08 He's not having a pop

01:41:09 Specifically at Carl

01:41:10 I would assume

01:41:10 Every single one of us

01:41:11 That's rude

01:41:12 That's rude

01:41:12 That's good 1.00

01:41:13 This blazer was cut by Hawks of Saffil Row 1.00

01:41:16 I'll have you know

01:41:16 Just because the finest tailoring you've ever seen

01:41:19 Is above your mother's appendix

01:41:21 Doesn't mean a bloody thing

01:41:21 I'm joking

01:41:24 That's a line from With Now and I isn't it

01:41:27 Flame war starting

01:41:28 That's a line from With Now

01:41:30 I couldn't help myself

01:41:30 I don't mean that principle of uncertainty

01:41:35 Fortin Barber says

01:41:37 Punk is better than metal

01:41:40 the inclusive uh that inclusive hardcore and pop punk uh i don't mind punk i disagree with you

01:41:48 like metal's a way more diverse genre uh punk has a very specific sound even pop punk can only go so

01:41:57 far but you know i like it i like it fine enough blink 182 i've got some bangers earlier green day

01:42:04 when people say punk i think of the sex pistols actual 70s punk yeah that one album that sex

01:42:10 pistols did great some 70s punk pretty good melt better though i heard like early those early 70s

01:42:17 punk saying they deliberately don't play good music they deliberately don't play their instruments

01:42:21 correctly they're not trying to make a good song it's like yeah i've got no real time for that

01:42:27 yeah i think i think that's a bit exaggerated okay that sounds like like a bit of music snobbery okay

01:42:33 yeah to be honest well it's like it's a reaction to good quality radio songs so they're gonna play

01:42:40 it poorly they can barely play guitar and stuff i've seen a lot of deliberately say that it was

01:42:44 a reaction to the excesses of like mid-70s led zeppelin and those kind of hard rock bands where

01:42:51 the songs were suddenly like 10 minutes long five minute guitar solo they were like no let's just

01:42:55 play beatles songs really really fast that's what ramones said they were okay okay keifer brown 1337

01:43:02 says even the moon threw shade at Eamon Holmes
