Transcript
- 0:20Be a great others for jiggle, hocus pocus, Lack of focus.
- 0:23The very uneducational podcast that tumbles true topics like
- 0:26Jack and Jill after riding on that hill.
- 0:29Topics like witchcraft, true crime, fake news, paranormal
- 0:32activities, and everything weird in the world.
- 0:34I'm your local beast, Jussie, who has never kissed the
- 0:37Sleeping Beauty. Well, not since they started
- 0:40Hashtag and all about that stuff.
- 0:41And I'm joined, as usual, by our Hostess with the most breast.
- 0:45When she gets to the ball, she doesn't leave a slipper, she
- 0:48leaves a slobber. That's a Cinderella gag, pun
- 0:50intended. It's Daddy.
- 0:54Thomas. A long, long time ago.
- 0:58That's that's in. A land far, far away.
- 1:05What are we doing? Today, Danny.
- 1:08I think you'll all guess by that intro.
- 1:12So we are doing fairy tales today, but not.
- 1:17Act we're. Not gonna sit there tell.
- 1:18You. But it's fitting because I got
- 1:23called basically a disfigured monster by my Uber driver this
- 1:27morning. So, well, literally right.
- 1:34So I did a skin peel, right? For those of you who at the
- 1:39weekend unprofessional. Listen, I had to keep my fucking
- 1:44the noise on my phone. I forgot I got my car towed
- 1:48today so don't talk to me about stories.
- 1:51Oh, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so I did a skin peel.
- 1:55I have a horrible breakout because of the skin peel, which
- 1:58is normal after a skin peel, right?
- 2:01It is what it is. Got my Uber to work this morning
- 2:05and this, this Uber, he's like Danny.
- 2:08And I was like, Yep, didn't think anything of it because
- 2:11they know your name on the thing.
- 2:12Can you not play with that right now?
- 2:16And he, I was like, I picked you up last week.
- 2:22I was like, oh, did you like, I get a lot of your breeze, Like I
- 2:25don't, I had no idea who this guy was.
- 2:26He's like, yeah, but your, your skin last week was a lot
- 2:30clearer, a lot better. You're covered in spots now.
- 2:32Is did you have an allergic reaction?
- 2:34And I was like, I was like, I did, as a matter of fact, have a
- 2:41reaction to to skin care and this man, I'm so sorry for that.
- 2:47That cat's driving me fucking mental.
- 2:49Bingo. I was like, he proceeded to tell
- 2:53me the whole 15 minute car ride, what skin, what skin care would
- 2:56be best for my skin. Now, this is a very, very black
- 2:59Jamaican man. So I was like, I don't think the
- 3:04same things are gonna are gonna work for me that work for you.
- 3:08But I appreciate the help. And he was like, you still look
- 3:11OK. And I was like, thanks, that's
- 3:14that's even better. Like I.
- 3:17Still breaking out, man. Go and get something stringent
- 3:27for them spots girl. You don't need no ice cream.
- 3:33You need miracle. We made it less than 4 minutes
- 3:41without without doing an accent. Anyway, I I feel like Quasimodo.
- 3:52So it was only fitting that today we do an episode on fairy
- 3:56tales. Not fairy tales like just you
- 3:59thought it was right. So I think a fun way to do this
- 4:11is I'm going to tell you the dark version and I want you to
- 4:16guess what modern fairy tale this is what we have, right?
- 4:21Yeah, that sounds that's fairly, fairly easy to do.
- 4:25The Brothers Grimm, right? They put the Grimm in the fairy
- 4:29tales. Yeah, so the first one is going
- 4:33to be pretty easy. We'll start off pretty easy, but
- 4:37in the Brothers Grimm version, Ashton Poodle's father is still
- 4:42alive but passive, letting the stepmother abuse her, which is
- 4:47most fairy tales. I feel like.
- 4:51When the Prince comes with her slipper, one step sister chops
- 4:54off her toes, the other slices off her heel so that their feet
- 4:59fit. The deception is revealed when
- 5:01birds sing out the truth at the wedding, doves Peck out both
- 5:06step sisters eyes, permanently blinding them and the story is
- 5:11bloody justice feat and mutilation as symbols of female
- 5:15beauty standards. And This is why Disney softened
- 5:18it. Is that Pocahontas by any
- 5:25chance? Close with your whale.
- 5:31Course, it's it's a Cinderella, the aforementioned Cinderella.
- 5:35I did hit like AI have heard this.
- 5:38Like my understanding of fairy tales is right that they are
- 5:44like at least like the, the the old ancient kind of made-up
- 5:48tales of like there's a monster in the forest or there's a witch
- 5:51in the forest. Don't go down there is to
- 5:54frighten kids from doing things like don't go into the sea
- 5:57because there's sponsors in there.
- 5:58Like, you know, some kids from drowning and stuff like, but
- 6:02this me Cinderella, I never figured out what that because I,
- 6:06I had this same. I used to have like the big book
- 6:10of Roald Alsop and he had like his versions of it as well.
- 6:16Yeah, and he had his versions of it.
- 6:17So like I look into those like the originals as well.
- 6:20And I've seen that the Brothers Grimm original where like they
- 6:23are cutting off feet and stuff and or cutting off the toes.
- 6:28And because like I think rolled out, if I'm not mistaken, that
- 6:33he came up with our they tried to stuff their feet in and they
- 6:37ended up like cutting all our feet on the the because they had
- 6:40big fat ugly feet, like, and then, yeah, I just couldn't
- 6:44figure out what what was the moral story of Cinderella with
- 6:49the I know it's like the ugly sisters, like don't be mean,
- 6:52don't be a cunt, but like bloody just a pose and stuff.
- 6:58It just doesn't make sense. I mean if you look at it like
- 7:02foot binding is essentially the same thing without mutilation
- 7:07where they bind your foot to be like a little fucking hoof in
- 7:10China. Yeah, but what's the what's the
- 7:14lesson though? Did you know what I mean?
- 7:17Like, what's this? What are they saying?
- 7:20But are they saying like, if you're, if you've got big feet,
- 7:24you're an ugly woman, Is that what is the way?
- 7:26What's the lesson here? Feet.
- 7:29And mutilation as symbols of female beauty standards.
- 7:36I just. When When did the worst like
- 7:41these? These are very.
- 7:42They wrote it. Yeah, like it's medieval, right?
- 7:47Yes, let me find it. Are they the boys?
- 7:52Are they Danish? Sorry, I shouldn't be asking a
- 7:56whole lot a whole lot question. No, you're fine.
- 8:00I'm. I just want to find out when it
- 8:02was written. When was this written?
- 8:13You know, I just can't imagine. Little Ash girl.
- 8:16The little Ash girl, which is fucking oh Cinderella.
- 8:20Oh, I didn't even clock that. That's really smart.
- 8:24Ella being in there, being Ash. 1812.
- 8:29Ah, OK, so it's. Not like 1812.
- 8:32Yeah, so it's not mad or like I, I was thinking like, you know.
- 8:3616. Hundreds or whatever.
- 8:38Yeah. So like, but so I'm wondering,
- 8:41are they like they're making some kind of like commentary on
- 8:47beauty standards of the day then whereas like.
- 8:51Yeah. Yeah, I get it.
- 8:53I get it now. Like OK.
- 8:56Yeah, I mean, I guess if people are willing to put themselves
- 8:59through like, I mean, because back then, wouldn't it have been
- 9:00like corsets and stuff that basically shifted your organs
- 9:04around your body because people would wear them that tight?
- 9:10Just go to fibbers. They're still there.
- 9:16So next one also has an evil stepmother.
- 9:20Don't they all like men can't move on?
- 9:23I think is is the moral of all these stories, like men
- 9:27shouldn't move on. Polly agrees.
- 9:34Explain, Explain. Men can't move on.
- 9:36What's what? What?
- 9:39Oh, it's because every single like one of these fairy tales
- 9:43has an evil stepmother so it's like, well, it's your fault for
- 9:45bringing this bitch into her life.
- 9:48OK. Yeah.
- 9:49So like. You're not my real.
- 9:51Mom. Yeah, so this next one, the evil
- 9:55stepmother, was originally her biological mother in early
- 9:59versions, a mother jealous of her own daughter's youth and
- 10:03beauty. So she asks for the girl's lungs
- 10:07and liver as proof of death, which she plans to cook and eat.
- 10:12The girl is killed by three attempts.
- 10:15Bodice laces. Choking.
- 10:17See bodice. There we go.
- 10:19Poisoned comb and finally the apple.
- 10:24So in some endings the queen is forced to wear red hot iron
- 10:28shoes and dance until she dies. So basically chat hook
- 10:34cannibalistic mothers the horror of mother daughter rivalry and
- 10:40death as entertainment at weddings.
- 10:43So they made her dance to the death at their wedding.
- 10:46Yeah, I've heard about this dancing to the desk business
- 10:49there at the end of that one. I heard that that.
- 10:51Was like you think that was? Oh, yeah, sorry, it's, it's
- 10:56Pocahontas. And no, it's it's obviously Snow
- 11:00White, but. Yeah.
- 11:03Yeah, I've heard this one before.
- 11:06This one, This one is weird to me, but I've I've felt this a
- 11:13bit with women I knew where they have.
- 11:16No, not not all of them, obviously, but like there has
- 11:19been some issues with like murder daughter relationships
- 11:24and how it's a lot trickier than like like fat adult
- 11:31relationships are a lot easier, I think, than murder daughter
- 11:35relationships. I don't know, like it's as a, as
- 11:37a sis man, cisgendered heterosexual white man, I can't
- 11:43really go and talk about what way, what relationships women
- 11:49have with their their mother especially I don't even have a
- 11:52relationship with my own mother dead.
- 11:55So it's, it's a tricky one, But I've, I have noticed like in, in
- 12:00their, you know, past relationships that there's been
- 12:05a kind of a contentious rivalry almost where like the, the, the
- 12:11mother and daughter relationship.
- 12:13It's kind of a case of where at least I know and I'm going to
- 12:19get like heavy and deep into this, but at least I know with
- 12:22my mother, she was like married and had her first kid by 21.
- 12:27And I feel like when you look at your daughter and how times are
- 12:32obviously crazy different from when that was the case.
- 12:35I mean, she had like my sister was like the fourth child and
- 12:40then I was seven years after that.
- 12:42And I feel like it's a case of where you look at your daughters
- 12:44and you're like, that could have been me.
- 12:46I could have been doing those things, but I was tied down at
- 12:50this age and I was married and I did.
- 12:52I think you're kind of like looking at a mirror of yourself
- 12:55that could have been. And I think that can lead like
- 13:00to, I mean, certain personality, you know, types obviously, just
- 13:04really, really resenting their daughters and having like a
- 13:07jealousy about it. And I think so my sister, we
- 13:12don't speak. She's seven years older than me.
- 13:14And I think a lot of that as well is like she's very much
- 13:18fall fell into that kind of, you know, you live and work all your
- 13:22life in the town that you're born and you meet your husband
- 13:24in the town that you're born and you settle down in the town
- 13:27you're born and you have your kids in town, you're born.
- 13:29And I was very much the opposite of that.
- 13:31Like I've been all over. I still like no kids, no
- 13:35responsibilities, I do whatever I want.
- 13:37And we never got on. And it was always a case of her
- 13:40like bitching about what I was doing to my mom, being like, she
- 13:43spends her money on this she's out doing that my mom's like she
- 13:46doesn't have. Children.
- 13:46So it's like she is so jealous. Of me though my mom always said
- 13:52it. She's like she is.
- 13:53She's jealous of me. She probably listens to this as
- 13:56well. As a hater.
- 13:57She probably was one of the fucking one star voters, you
- 13:59cunt. But anyway, yeah, so it's it's a
- 14:04case of that and it's just the I think it is like looking at that
- 14:08and being like, well, that could have been me because we're like,
- 14:10you know, and it's I think that's very, very common in a
- 14:14lot of mother daughter relationships.
- 14:16I don't think it's to the extent of, you know, I'll pay someone
- 14:19to kill her so I can be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 14:23I'll get a I'll get a woodsman to bring her back my fucking
- 14:26lungs. The iron shoes are hilarious.
- 14:30We're going back to feet. They really liked feet back in
- 14:35the day. It sounds like they didn't like.
- 14:37Sounds like they did horrible things to feet.
- 14:40Well yeah, like fucking with feet I guess OK #3 so Talia
- 14:47pricks her finger on flax and falls into a death like sleep
- 14:52passing. King finds her and assaults her
- 14:54while she's unconscious. So now, right, we got it.
- 14:57We'll we'll we'll we'll get this out of the way first.
- 15:00In the original he does have sex with her while she's sleeping.
- 15:03Not the whole oh he's she's woken by true Love's kiss.
- 15:07Like no, she literally got frat boyed at a fucking party.
- 15:11Who loves? Dick, she gives birth to twins
- 15:15while she's still asleep. That's not in the fucking movie.
- 15:181 twin sucks the flax splinter out of her finger and that's
- 15:23what wakes her up. So there's no romantic kiss.
- 15:26The king is already married and his queen tries to have the
- 15:29children killed, cooked and fed to him, which is.
- 15:32Fair play to her, I'd be I'd. Be the same.
- 15:35Eventually the queen is burned alive, which what did she do?
- 15:38She didn't do anything. She's out here, her fellas
- 15:40fucking unconscious girls and. She's the bad guy.
- 15:44OK, so basically sexual violence is romance.
- 15:49Sleeping women as objects of fantasy, basically a very Game
- 15:55of Thrones style political violence is what I would take
- 16:00from that, which is Sleeping Beauty obviously.
- 16:05Yeah. 100% thought that was poke on Tell me this.
- 16:14You think there's like obviously there's a lot of misogyny going
- 16:18on here. Back in the Times it would have
- 16:19been very patriarchal, as it is all the way through, all the way
- 16:24through times, except for now when men can't say anything.
- 16:32OK, Charlie Kirk. Fucking hell yeah.
- 16:37But do you think that there is kind of an attack on women here?
- 16:44Like what would the reason? Because like we're seeing 2 evil
- 16:47stepmothers, the evil queen now. Like what's what's this thing
- 16:51that the boys hated the women or what's the like?
- 16:54If you let women get into power, they're going to what?
- 16:57What's that? What is this one?
- 16:59What's what's going on here? So the king, who is the rapist,
- 17:04the scorned wife, the sleeping girl who was raped, of all of
- 17:09the characters, the king is the bad guy here.
- 17:12I mean, I, I don't think that the, the queen should, you know,
- 17:15try and kill and feed the kids to him, but like, whatever.
- 17:19But you know, women be shopping, you know what I mean?
- 17:23But like the man. This seems to be a kind of a
- 17:30thing in there throughout, like, even like ancient tales and
- 17:34stuff like that, that when there's a Randy man and he goes
- 17:39off and there's a bit of writing, the scorned woman
- 17:44always kind of attacked the other woman.
- 17:47And never like, like Zeus, for instance.
- 17:50Yeah. You know, like, yeah, like he
- 17:53went off and got maybe. Do you think this is kind of a
- 17:56little bit on the same lines as the Zeus situation that like he
- 18:01went off and got his rocks? Like Dionysus was like, what?
- 18:06Cut out of the mother's stomach? Yeah.
- 18:10And then he had to. Like, yes, that's exactly what I
- 18:12think of the ISIS situation. So yeah.
- 18:15Yeah, but this man, like, raped a sleeping woman.
- 18:18I don't think he's probably the type to be like, I must sew
- 18:21those children into my own body to keep them safe.
- 18:23I think he's probably. Just I'm not saying exactly I
- 18:26want. Me to worry about thanks babe
- 18:28I'm. Not saying it's.
- 18:31Exactly the same. Story I'm saying that like
- 18:34there's a parallel where like the guy goes off and it's all
- 18:38him. Like not this isn't even like a
- 18:405050 thing. This is 100% him.
- 18:41He's after finding a sleeping girl he he mounts and
- 18:45impregnates her and then his wife is mad at the girl who was
- 18:50asleep and and she's vilified in the story as well.
- 18:56Yeah, but also so she had the the babies and didn't wake up
- 19:03until one of the babies started sucking at her finger and then
- 19:06she woke up. Like imagine waking up and being
- 19:08like what the fuck? Yeah, but like 54 states with
- 19:14Adam Sandler, do you think that he he would have he he'd have to
- 19:18have like a little storybook, just just just like a Punch and
- 19:22Judy show ready to explain exactly what happened all the
- 19:25way through, just as like a little a little punch.
- 19:29Sexually assault and Judy while she's asleep.
- 19:33But that's the thing, like if they had sex, like if that was
- 19:35me and if I was like trying to like basically do Adam Sandler's
- 19:40like role in that, I would have to like get out before she woke
- 19:43up in the morning. And not to be like you want her
- 19:45to wake up with some random man in her bed that she just
- 19:47remember. I'd be like out the window as
- 19:49soon as she fell asleep and started all.
- 19:51Over. That's what he did.
- 19:52So he so he, he was always up before her in the morning and
- 19:57left out the VHS tape and it ended up that they were on a
- 20:02ship. So imagine like obviously she's
- 20:04going to have some bad days there, but like she wakes up and
- 20:07realizes like she has a kid, Not just like like the kid is
- 20:10fucking not even a baby, like the kids running around.
- 20:13So like she. Wakes up and she's on a fucking
- 20:16ship in the Arctic with her fucking her brother, her father,
- 20:21some stranger who apparently knocked her up and brought her
- 20:25to the Arctic to study narwhals, what the like.
- 20:30Oh yeah, I'm going to get open a good mood every day.
- 20:33Not a chance. Yeah, but you know that if I
- 20:35suddenly fucking woke up and then I'm on like a great white
- 20:38shark expedition with some guy who's semi attractive that I'm
- 20:42like that I'm letting hit unbeknownst to myself the next
- 20:47day. Like I wouldn't be too mad about
- 20:49it. I mean this goes back to.
- 20:50You have with Marine. Autism.
- 20:53So like, of course you'd be happy with it, yeah.
- 20:57Like what's your name? Doesn't matter.
- 20:59Sharks. OK, that one, right, Next one.
- 21:06So in the Brothers Grimm version of this one, the witch discovers
- 21:12the girl is pregnant when she innocently asks her why her
- 21:17clothes are getting tighter. Innocently.
- 21:21It's like you're getting fat. What's going on with you?
- 21:27The witch banishes her and blinds the Prince who knocked
- 21:31her up. He wanders the wilderness until
- 21:34he finds her again, and then her tears can heal his blindness.
- 21:43Yeah, there's nothing about the main thing in this whole story,
- 21:49the whole selling point of this story.
- 21:51There is nothing about that in the grim version.
- 21:53This was added by Disney or whoever else.
- 21:57Yeah, so it's Pocahontas. Pocahontas.
- 22:01Let down your long hair. Yeah.
- 22:08Yeah, I don't know. Why this has become my running
- 22:16guide but. Pocahontas is brilliant I.
- 22:23Know I'm funny, but yeah. So basically hair as a fertility
- 22:28sexual symbol and pregnancy outside of marriage gets you
- 22:33punished. Female sexuality in general gets
- 22:37you punished basically in in this one, which seems to be a
- 22:40common theme with the Brothers Grimm.
- 22:41Were they were they grim in each other?
- 22:43It sounds like they were, honestly.
- 22:46Were they actually? Brothers.
- 22:47Or is it just like a a name? I'd say they were brothers.
- 22:52I think they were, yeah. But like, it's just it, it just
- 22:58seems like a weird one to me that every story so far it's
- 23:03been like like women are cunts like.
- 23:07Basically. Yeah.
- 23:09Like I mean. It was.
- 23:10It was the 1800s. All right, here's another one
- 23:16that's also on this one. My whole life I have identified
- 23:20with the quote UN quote bad guy in this one.
- 23:24So rigid and medieval famines where families really did
- 23:28abandoned their kids and sell them for like meat and stuff.
- 23:31This happened in, I mean, we talked about that on the Albert
- 23:35Fish episode. So in China during their great
- 23:41famine, kids were sold off for meat.
- 23:43China. So the witch is sometimes
- 23:47portrayed as a starving woman turned monstrous and then
- 23:50accused of witchcraft. In some earlier tellings, the
- 23:54stepmother and the witch are the same character, making it
- 23:58explicitly about parental, betrayal.
- 24:02Fairy tales encoded trauma, famine as horror, and how hunger
- 24:08creates monsters, which I like that.
- 24:11I like that. I think that's because that's
- 24:12not a grim a Brothers Grimm 1, is it?
- 24:15No, it is, isn't it? Hansel and Gretel.
- 24:18I thought it was Hansel and Pocahontas, no?
- 24:25Pocahontas and Gretel. Yeah, I think this is a Brothers
- 24:29Grimm as well, isn't it? Or at least like, but I think
- 24:33some of these guys might have repurposed some of these as
- 24:35well. Like they're that they're not
- 24:36necessarily just these boys coming up with the stories.
- 24:39I think they're like might have Disney that as well, like
- 24:41whereas like an old tale that they've written.
- 24:44I could be wrong though. I could be pulling that clean
- 24:47out of my ass beside my prostate.
- 24:49I, I just, I, I don't know where I'm getting that from, but I
- 24:55thought that might be a thing as well, that they were actually
- 24:57just repurposed and stuff. It feels a bit too intelligent
- 25:02for them and not just women. I mean, yes, she's painted as a
- 25:05witch and a monster and stuff because she was going to eat
- 25:07kids. But the famine is hunger thing
- 25:10is a bit. I don't think they probably
- 25:12intended that to be the way they're just like, we hate
- 25:14women, they eat children. Brothers in smell.
- 25:17But it does it does seem like all of these stories kind of
- 25:25have that same running thing. So I wonder like, was that like
- 25:29the thinking of the time or was it these just these lads in
- 25:32particular were like fuck, like women are evil.
- 25:37Like, you know, like you hear these stories where they kind of
- 25:39vilify certain certain sex, like, you know, like and like,
- 25:44you know, or like, or at least like they're kind of stereotype
- 25:48certain fucking certain like facets of society, like like the
- 25:54the kind of money hoarding fucking hook nosed Jew are like
- 25:58the the way Africans were vilified in like a European
- 26:04literature back when they were like trying to colonize Africa
- 26:08and stuff like that. Like is it, is this a way to
- 26:11kind of keep women down or like, I don't know, it's weird and I'm
- 26:16not coming from this from like a white knight kind of a an idea
- 26:20as well where I'm like. This is this is terrible that
- 26:23they're talking. About women like that, I
- 26:24couldn't give a flight fuck about these women.
- 26:29But women it. Just seems these I put these as
- 26:34like quotation marks these but like not.
- 26:38Like. But like, I'm not, I'm not doing
- 26:42this to be like this is terrible that it's, it's real like.
- 26:47These guys like they should. Empower women and they should
- 26:50get behind them. It just seems very weird to me
- 26:53that every one of these stories is kind of like the villain is a
- 26:57woman and the, the woman is a horrible witch.
- 27:01And also the main person in the story is a woman and she's a bit
- 27:06of a floozy. And then the guy in the story
- 27:10who can get away with just about anything.
- 27:12He's not necessarily the hero of the story, but like, he's the
- 27:16one that the light is shining like the king, the Prince that
- 27:20wandered the forest with his fucking the, the, the blind
- 27:22eyes. And like, you know, all this
- 27:24kind of shite, like you know, where the Prince is always kind
- 27:28of seemed to be like this kind of godly good guy.
- 27:31And then the women are either a feeble fucking idiots who have
- 27:37to be saved or the big bad. Essentially stalk them like in
- 27:43every movie, The Prince essentially stalks the the the
- 27:47woman like the ones that like feel like they don't even like
- 27:50look at like even if you go to like Hercules with Megara and
- 27:54Hercules and he just stalks her and follows her around, even
- 27:57though her job was to go and get him to do that.
- 28:00It's still very much like, but also I just, I have to just to
- 28:04veer back to to the witch in this story for a second, right?
- 28:07If I spent however meant like amount of time right building my
- 28:13own house and some little cunts from the village come out and
- 28:18start fucking biting lumps out of it.
- 28:21Like. I have no issue throwing them in
- 28:24the fucking furnace. So I'm like a strong independent
- 28:27woman who don't need no man, built her own house and she's
- 28:30just living in the woods. She's minding her own fucking
- 28:32business and these little gurriers just coming out
- 28:36thinking they owned the place or licking her own holes in her
- 28:39windows and. Everything this is typical doll.
- 28:42This is typical of women. They, they don't have a
- 28:44fundamental understanding of building practices because like
- 28:48you have to use a certain grade of, of timber, like you have to
- 28:52use grade C or, or depending on the, depending on the weather,
- 28:58like you definitely have to use like grade C or above between
- 29:01grade C and grade A Sadra pine and it has to be pressure.
- 29:05Treated as well if you want gingerbread.
- 29:08But this using gingerbread. Especially.
- 29:12Especially in a kind of a climate like Northern Europe
- 29:16where you know you're going to get battered by storms every now
- 29:18and again. And I understand, I understand
- 29:21that it might like, it could be a winter house and it could
- 29:24freeze and it could get solid and you might not.
- 29:26But like, still, like, what's wrong with brick and mortar?
- 29:30And especially if it's famine plain.
- 29:32And also, she's not using her fucking noggin either.
- 29:36She has a house made of fucking gingerbread and candy and she's
- 29:41cooking children like maybe, maybe other fishes, right?
- 29:45And the nicest thing you could eat is a child's ass.
- 29:48But like if you have gingerbread there, not a.
- 29:50Substantial meal. You get sick of gingerbread all
- 29:54the time. That's all you had like.
- 29:58Yeah. Maybe you're maybe you're right,
- 29:59Danny, but also like. Macros will be all over the
- 30:03fucking place. Just to circle back today to to
- 30:06the building of the house out of Gingerbread in the first place.
- 30:10Like at. What?
- 30:11Point. I will give.
- 30:13You that? Yeah, it's not.
- 30:15It's not. It's not anyways.
- 30:20Move. Moving on, I just.
- 30:21Hang on because I'm not going to get into.
- 30:23This with you again. What do you what?
- 30:26Do you roof gingerbread? It's weird.
- 30:28Though. Just.
- 30:32I think it was candy cane roof A.
- 30:35Candy cane roof How do you weather a candy cane roof?
- 30:38You know what I mean? You're going to be.
- 30:40Dealing with. People break teeth on them all
- 30:42the time. It's not, yeah, but it's not
- 30:45hard for Rain to get between the candy canes.
- 30:48Like, obviously there's going to have to be some covering over
- 30:50that. She hasn't.
- 30:53She hasn't off the range. Bitch.
- 31:01Never got a new show to quote. It reminds me as well of like I
- 31:05was just thinking of the best. Fucking one of the best tree
- 31:08House of horror episodes. Is The witch the easy bake
- 31:13coven? It's such a.
- 31:15Fucking good episode. And it's just like, it's like
- 31:20eat their children's, like we were just going to swipe their
- 31:22shoes. But eating children sounds a
- 31:24whole lot better. You were the 1.
- 31:29Who soiled my crops? No, that was go Fred this.
- 31:35Isn't it Fred Cauldron? Was that?
- 31:40I don't know. His second name was Cauldron
- 31:42because they thought she was just looking around the room at
- 31:45things like and then he shows. Up at the end I.
- 31:51Accuse goody bad wife. I was like, I always say.
- 31:58I was like, I was like, bye. Wishes.
- 32:00Thanks for not eating me. Yeah, you.
- 32:01Eggs are all right anyway. So earliest French versions, le
- 32:14Petit chaperon luge. No woodsman, no rescue.
- 32:20Red is eaten alive. I gave that one away.
- 32:22That is the red rider. Fuck.
- 32:28In in so in some versions she unknowingly eats her
- 32:31grandmother's flesh what the and drinks her blood before being
- 32:37eaten herself. The wolf sometimes asks her to
- 32:40undress and burn her clothes piece by piece.
- 32:44Heavy sexual predator undertones which is a little bit on the
- 32:47nose but basically early cautionary tale about sexual
- 32:52predators virginity and blame Disney's sanitized wolf versus
- 32:59the the predator wolf. So they were like no, a wolf
- 33:02will actually eat you and not. Wait, what did?
- 33:05What did? Disney do with the Red Riding
- 33:07Hood. I I'm just, I just wrote notes
- 33:11as a Disney version. That's just kind of what you
- 33:13assume with fairy tales. They didn't.
- 33:16Well, they did do. A little Red Riding Hood, but
- 33:18into the. Woods.
- 33:19What's what wasn't there? Yeah, into the woods.
- 33:23That was the one, Yeah, there was a weird.
- 33:25Fucking terrible. Yeah, yeah.
- 33:29There was. There was only in the.
- 33:31Huntsman with. Chris Hemsworth or.
- 33:34Yeah, that was. Chris Hemsworth, one of the
- 33:35Hemsworths. One of the Hemsworths.
- 33:38It's one of the Hemsworths, Chris.
- 33:39Yeah, one of. Them Chris, Liam or the other
- 33:41one, There's a it's the Hemsworths are kind of
- 33:46Australian scars. Guards.
- 33:49Yeah, I think there's three of them.
- 33:50Oh, the Scars guards don't get me start and they always add
- 33:54one. There's always a new Scars guard
- 33:56brother. Every like fucking six weeks
- 33:57and. It's just.
- 33:58Like that's what I'm saying about the.
- 34:00Hemsworth. There is, there's.
- 34:02Definitely another Hemsworth. Like a scars guard.
- 34:03Like a like a secret scars guard.
- 34:05There's a secret Hemsworth. I was talking to a guy before
- 34:09and his brother used to take his kids to the same daycare as two
- 34:14of the Scars guard brothers. And I was just like, I would be
- 34:19obsessed. I would insist on doing that
- 34:20school run every morning just so I could stare at you.
- 34:22Even the ugly ones are like, fucking hot as fuck because
- 34:25they're just big, tall Vikings. And have you seen that, like,
- 34:28meme where it's like the Colkins versus the skiers guards in a
- 34:30fight? I was like, my money would
- 34:33weirdly be on the Colkins because they're scrappy little
- 34:35rat men. And like, I think they'd fight
- 34:38dirty. Yeah, they are.
- 34:40They're they're scrappy. There's a link and.
- 34:44So I. Luke, yeah, he was the one that
- 34:48was going out with No, Liam was the one that was going out.
- 34:52Miley Cyrus, right And then he cheated on Miley Cyrus to
- 34:55January Jones, allegedly, right. So this one if the Queen can't
- 35:02get his name but. He was in Westworld apparently.
- 35:08Everyone was in Westworld, all right?
- 35:11If the Queen can't guess his name, he doesn't just take the
- 35:14baby, he sometimes devours it. When she guesses correctly, he
- 35:20rages and tears himself in half from groin to skull.
- 35:25Demonic bargains, names as magical power and grotesque
- 35:29punishment. What do you think this is?
- 35:32Rumble Hunters. Now, I don't know.
- 35:35I don't know the actual story of Rumble Silskin, I I've heard of
- 35:41it, but what is the story of that?
- 35:44If, if I recall from my days of being a child in the black and
- 35:49whites, he there was there was a deal made where they were
- 35:57spinning golden yarn. And I think it was if you could
- 36:02guess his name, he would make you some kind of fucking golden
- 36:09fleece or something like that. I don't, I don't know what the
- 36:11fuck it was. But yeah, his whole thing was
- 36:14like he was, he was basically a child snatcher.
- 36:18I don't, I don't know in my head there is there is some kind of
- 36:21yarn making. It's is it something to do with
- 36:26like the he snatches you in your dreams or something?
- 36:30So that's that's Freddy Hondas. It's.
- 36:33Freddy Krueger. Freddy Hondas.
- 36:40Yeah, No, I don't. I don't know the actual one of
- 36:42that, so we'll skip that. That's there's not too much on
- 36:44that. So this one.
- 36:47She gives up her voice, her tongue in some readings for legs
- 36:53that feel like walking on knives.
- 36:55The Prince falls for another woman, and the girl's sister
- 37:01offers her a knife to kill him in his sleep.
- 37:05If she spills his blood on her feet, she'll return to the sea.
- 37:09She can't do it, so she throws herself into the waves, where
- 37:13her body dissolves into sea foam.
- 37:16Christian moralizing, female self erasure for male love and
- 37:21body mutilation metaphor. Is this the the little native a
- 37:26little? Pocahontas.
- 37:27Yeah. Yeah, it is.
- 37:30It's a. Little Apache, yeah.
- 37:32So hold on, what's the what's the deal here with this little
- 37:37Apache? What's the deal?
- 37:39What's the deal here with So she's she's stolen out of the
- 37:45sea and her legs turned into knives.
- 37:51She gives it all up, right? So she gives up her voice, or in
- 37:55some cases her tongue, and then she wants to be with him so bad
- 38:01that she wants legs, even though the legs hurt like knives.
- 38:04She. Does it anyway?
- 38:08So it's basically about hurting yourself and like not being true
- 38:14to yourself for the love of a man, which a lot we've all done
- 38:17as women, a lot of women who've done that.
- 38:22But yeah, basically she and then the sister was just like.
- 38:27No one's ever changed for me, just so we're fucking here on
- 38:29this. They've all tried to change me.
- 38:35Maybe you should be. Maybe you should be less loud
- 38:39and more fit. That's kind of what I get from
- 38:42from from women in the past. But how do?
- 38:45They say that, though they have to say that in a nice way.
- 38:48Oh, no, it's, it's, it's overtime.
- 38:50It's a, it's, it's a gradual just kind of diminishing of your
- 38:57yourself esteem up to a point when I feel so bad about myself
- 39:04that I become a shell of who I once was and I no longer like
- 39:11looking in the mirror or listening to myself or.
- 39:16Just a joke guys. I actually that reminds me, I
- 39:21saw this tick tock the other day and it was like one of those
- 39:24like. I just bore my snore and they're
- 39:27like that. Reminds me of a tick tock
- 39:28myself. I'm trying to move on.
- 39:32It's very awkward. But basically so she, her
- 39:39friend, her best friend found her, her boyfriend of like 9
- 39:44months on like Hinge and they made a fake profile and like
- 39:51catfish this guy and they're like, Oh yeah, you know,
- 39:55arranged to meet it, like to have a date, whatever.
- 39:57So obviously he goes to like meet this, this girl at this bar
- 40:02and then they text him and they're like, oh, hey, I just
- 40:07got there and I left. I don't want to be mean, but
- 40:09you're a lot bigger than your pictures.
- 40:11I feel like you've catfished me a little bit.
- 40:13So it's not going to work out right?
- 40:17And then he's hanging out with his girlfriend later that night
- 40:21and he comes over and she breaks up with him and she's like, oh,
- 40:23you just let yourself go? And I'm just not really
- 40:25attracted to. So like within the space of 12
- 40:31hours they've given this guy like the worst fucking complex
- 40:35about how he looks. Yeah, that's.
- 40:40Serves him right. Yeah, like, you know, if you if,
- 40:45if you play with fire, you're won't get burned.
- 40:48You can have the actually. Like he'd.
- 40:50If we if if we detour here for a second, just just deleted all
- 40:55the apps off my phone. Not just in the last couple of
- 40:59weeks I've deleted all the apps off my phone.
- 41:01Do you? Want to Do you want to tell the
- 41:03gentle listeners? No, I just have that just, let's
- 41:07just say, let's just say, Speaking of fairy tales.
- 41:14There's one kind of there's one kind of happening right now.
- 41:19My mind has been opened. She has my full permission to
- 41:23beat you and I hope she she uses that permission.
- 41:27I. Really.
- 41:27She won't. She is a, she's a lovely,
- 41:32lovely, lovely, beautiful woman who has a life, delightful soul
- 41:39and a good heart. And she'd never beat me, I hope,
- 41:44and I'd probably let her. But she Speaking of all of this,
- 41:50all of this business, she is 100% a Disney adult.
- 41:56And I, I saw it in which I, I think it's a, like, I'm a, I'm,
- 42:02I'm, I'm a Disney guy. I I like some Disney.
- 42:06Stuff. Oh I love a Disney movie, but.
- 42:09This is the first. Time I experienced a like a full
- 42:14blown like these like I cord is. Needled.
- 42:19Yeah, I taught in the past like that I had met like Disney
- 42:24adults, like, you know, I've been to like a Disney World.
- 42:27I've been to Disney and Paris a couple of times.
- 42:29Like I like, I love our stuff. I fucking I love it.
- 42:33But I went to the Disney Store the other day with my my new
- 42:36girlfriend. Absolutely fantastic to say.
- 42:39And and it was I love. It sorry, I was just as excited.
- 42:49But it was a fascinating watch to see someone like I can't I I
- 42:57can never judge someone on like a like the weird fandoms and the
- 43:03obsessions that they have because like I'm into wrestling
- 43:05on Pokémon, which are two things that adult people.
- 43:09Pokémon. Are yeah, I, I, I know that
- 43:13Danny, but like you say that to like, you know, fucking you
- 43:16mentioned that the people on the building sites I used to work on
- 43:18that. That's are like what the fuck is
- 43:21wrong with you? But when I watched this, this
- 43:28beautiful Adonis this this. Adonis is a man by the.
- 43:36Way. Well, sorry, I meant to say
- 43:37that. The womanly one.
- 43:38What's that one? This beautiful Aphrodite, this
- 43:42absolutely magnificent, this, this goddess of a woman who I'm
- 43:47officially worshipping right now?
- 43:50I saw her. Cock is in his hand right now.
- 43:54It's not it's, it's very much it's.
- 43:57But I saw this woman who I adore walk into a Disney Store and
- 44:02turn into just a retard. I can't.
- 44:09Jesus. Christ, no.
- 44:13The. Excitement that she had and.
- 44:17Maybe. Maybe.
- 44:19No, but like. No, because that that just
- 44:23cancelled out all of the nice. Things I just said.
- 44:27The excitement she had. Seen Mickey Mouse like
- 44:29Disneyland? Oh, like I, I honestly think
- 44:34like that. Like, if we went to Disneyland,
- 44:36like she would scream with excitement at every person in a
- 44:42costume that I'd see. Like, this is like, well, like
- 44:46she was bouncing from all right. Danny can't.
- 44:50Like don't give the fuck in don't.
- 44:52Don't give it away, yeah. This is what you do.
- 44:55You take her to the Pokémon Centre and propose.
- 45:01This is what I like. Surprise motherfucker, this is
- 45:05romantic to me. Pikachu.
- 45:08Get a full pics. But anyways I was.
- 45:18Just trying to say. It was fascinating to see her
- 45:23how exciting that she got or how excited that she got for
- 45:26everything that she was looking at in there.
- 45:28Like, and it was, it was eye opening, but also like
- 45:35heartwarming as well to see someone have the kind of
- 45:39excitement for the little things in life.
- 45:41You know what I mean? Like just like the the the kind
- 45:44of sheer like child like enthusiasm for something.
- 45:48And I was like, where would I ever get?
- 45:50And I suppose if I did head to Japan and get to go to the
- 45:56actual like Pokémon stores and stuff like that, that I would be
- 45:59that exact child like, you know what I mean?
- 46:02Although like she did see me earlier on running around
- 46:04Forbidden Planet and pointing out all the different like like
- 46:09which superheroes were from where?
- 46:11Like I was explaining to her like there's Omega Red fucking
- 46:16he's like his powers are nuclear.
- 46:19And like I could see her eyes rolling into the back of her
- 46:21head with me trying to explain stuff to her.
- 46:23So like, I think it's a good match of two people who are No,
- 46:31she was. She was very happy watching me
- 46:33running around and pointing at superheroes.
- 46:36So yeah, I suppose we're very matched into.
- 46:40Children. And adult bodies.
- 46:43What's your favorite Disney movie?
- 46:45Who's your favorite character? Pocahontas.
- 46:52I really hope it is I really I. No, she I think it's hard to say
- 47:04because I've seen her bounce around, but I do think Mulan is
- 47:09her favorite. I fucking love Mulan.
- 47:13Mulan has to be like my favorite next to, well, it's my favorite
- 47:17like cartoon overall. It's like Monsters Inc, but
- 47:23like, you know what I mean? From Pixar and Disney.
- 47:25Exactly. I would say Pixar.
- 47:29Yeah, I mean, I love like Monsters Inc is so fucking
- 47:32funny. And you know what I miss?
- 47:33I was only saying this the other day, the Pixar movies, when they
- 47:36used to do like the bloopers at the end of each movie, like they
- 47:40should start doing that. And that was so funny.
- 47:42But yeah, then. Again, I I.
- 47:44But. It's like.
- 47:44The Bubs Life bloopers are the best.
- 47:47Oh yeah, they're really good. You've got James Woods just
- 47:50being fucking hilarious as always.
- 47:54And oh, watch that again. That'd be great.
- 47:57My Disney, my Disney is kind of a little bit different because
- 47:59I'm slightly older. So just as like the run of the
- 48:051990s Disney movies came out. I was like.
- 48:08I'm a boy I was into. All.
- 48:10Those I can't well like, but you know what I mean?
- 48:13Like it was, it was kind of like I would have been interested in
- 48:16Aladdin and Lion King, but then like when Beauty and the Beast
- 48:20came out, I'd like to get Aladdin I didn't like.
- 48:27Jeez, I didn't. I also didn't like Beauty and
- 48:34the Beast. Like that candle.
- 48:35That pervy candle freaked the fuck out of me.
- 48:39Like, but I I retrospectfully I retrospectfully love Beauty and
- 48:47the Beast and I think Gaston is one of the best characters ever
- 48:50written. Oh.
- 48:52No. One fights like Gaston.
- 48:54I love Gaston so much. Well, he's just ridiculous.
- 48:58Like he's just the exactly like what we're talking about when
- 49:02we're talking about like toxic masculinity.
- 49:04He's fucking fantastic. Like this I wanted to, my
- 49:08brother used to say to me all the time, like, and just like,
- 49:11well, it was one of his like vocal stems.
- 49:14Like I'd say anything. He'd be like crazy, old Marie
- 49:17say crazy. Old.
- 49:18Marie. Out of nowhere.
- 49:25Like are you okay? Like me and my brother had this
- 49:31so my brother used to use me as his beard.
- 49:34So he's like like 40 like nearly 15 out this at this point.
- 49:39But like he used to take me to see all of the Disney movies
- 49:44because he's like weird if I go on my own.
- 49:47Like he's a huge Disney adult. He fucking like loves Disney.
- 49:51Any movie that came out like that he wanted to see that was
- 49:53like a kids movie. He would like just bring me like
- 49:56and then it got just a stage where like I was even like at
- 49:59the age where I'm like, I want to go see a fucking kids movie.
- 50:02And then it was like that whole thing.
- 50:04It's like, well. That's just too damn bad.
- 50:05It's like get in the car. I'm tired of this, grandpa.
- 50:14I remember, like, he brought me to see Harry Potter because he
- 50:16wants to see Harry Potter. And I, that was back in the day
- 50:19where there was an intermission because the Harry Potter and the
- 50:23Philosopher's Stone was like broke.
- 50:25It was too, too long and it couldn't all fit on the one
- 50:27rail. So it's like going to stretch
- 50:29your legs then go for a piss. Yeah, back in the day.
- 50:32And then I was the same with Lord of the Rings.
- 50:35And I was like, it was like on late and he wants to go after
- 50:39work. My mom was like, oh, mad.
- 50:40And then we brought me home. I was like walking in, like
- 50:43falling asleep at school the next morning.
- 50:45He's just like what she wanted to go see.
- 50:55I want to go home. It's just too damn bad.
- 51:00But like, yeah, he doesn't. We have like a bunch of the
- 51:02different like Disney stems. Like I'll say I've weirdly is
- 51:07it? Thor, but you're not king.
- 51:10Is that Thor? I say that all the time for no
- 51:14reason, but you're not king. Oh, what the fuck is it?
- 51:19From what? Thor.
- 51:24I can see it. In my head it's the old guy no
- 51:29we're talking about. I'm just talking about vocal
- 51:30Sims now. Oh, OK.
- 51:31Different movie. Anthony Hopkins in in Thor.
- 51:35Yeah, that's what it. Is if I.
- 51:37Then like there's. If I was.
- 51:39Like, oh sure, not King. Yeah, yeah.
- 51:44And then like just the usual ones, like crazy old Maurice,
- 51:51all the time, always. It's so good.
- 51:53My favorite Disney movie of all time was The Jungle Book and we
- 51:58had the the the old VHS tape and I had it worn out from watching
- 52:04it. And.
- 52:06It's just, it's impeccable, absolutely.
- 52:09Like it was when they were trying out.
- 52:12Like, so they they do a movie and base it around.
- 52:19They done it again for Hercules years later when people said it
- 52:21wasn't going to workout. But they base it around a music
- 52:25style. So like it was in like the swing
- 52:29and 60s. So they used kind of that jazz.
- 52:35Yeah. So exactly.
- 52:36Like they use, they use. Like exactly to use like fucking
- 52:39Louis Armstrong as fucking King Louis, like and and like the had
- 52:43like that the best a whole movie around that that singer side.
- 52:46And it's like a proper old Rudyard Kipling tale of like,
- 52:51you know, this fucking kid gets lost in the jungle.
- 52:53But like they're based at around like the the jazz, like, you
- 52:57know, jazz music scene that was happening at the time.
- 53:00And I'm the same like with them with Hercules years later, where
- 53:04they're like their best. All that music in 0.
- 53:08To hero. Just.
- 53:09That that. Well, every everybody said the
- 53:13Hercules wasn't going to like wasn't going to work because of
- 53:17the music style that they used. And they ended up getting it
- 53:20fucking wrong because Hercules was a big fucking hit at the
- 53:22time. I loved Hercules.
- 53:25Do you remember the game they had like a the PlayStation game?
- 53:29That was so good. I loved that.
- 53:31Yeah. It's great.
- 53:31Hercules are the great one and it's like you watch these movies
- 53:34back, sorry, go on. I was like adults and it's like
- 53:39the humor is like so for adults, like it's and I mean like, you
- 53:44know, you're going to break your your bring your kid because the
- 53:46kids just got to go and like it's bright colors cartoons like
- 53:50they're going to love it. But then like the humor is just
- 53:52fucking. So especially with the Pixar
- 53:53ones, I think the Pixar humor is like quite kind of like grown
- 53:57up. It's like, I mean, not as like
- 54:00kind of hardcore as like say The Simpsons, but when I was like
- 54:02fucking 5 or 6, I loved The Simpsons.
- 54:05I'm like, I had no fucking clue what any of the jokes were.
- 54:08I just knew that it was yellow. People like, Oh no, don't say
- 54:11that. Jesus Christ, if you didn't, if
- 54:16you didn't fucking point it out, that would have never been
- 54:19noticed. Well I just can't believe you
- 54:22pulled your eyes. That was weird.
- 54:28Because I was going to talk about Mulan next and it's.
- 54:32Walk in hell you go. You go.
- 54:37I. Don't even know.
- 54:39Yeah, oh, the the the adults of hidden yeah.
- 54:43I think Pixar has a lot of stuff that's like proper, like hidden
- 54:48embedded in in stuff like walks that are kind of like this
- 54:52Snooky in as well. And but like this is what and
- 54:56and not to to veer completely off, even though we have
- 54:59already, but like this is what I always base my wrestling around
- 55:02my my wrestling character. I used to hate doing family
- 55:07shows and love doing the over 18 shows, but it completely flipped
- 55:11after a while when I realized how much fun I was able to have
- 55:15at the family shows. Because my character who is
- 55:18fucking just a ridiculous, horrible human being that when I
- 55:24come out and I'm just loud and I'm shouty and like I'm just
- 55:28playing the generic bad guy, the kids are going to Boo you
- 55:32anyways. So for me, what I always reckon
- 55:35wrestling is that my character is there for the the the mammies
- 55:40and daddies to to entertain them.
- 55:44So if I can leave them laughing, the kids, the kids are going to
- 55:47react no matter what. The kids are going to sit like
- 55:49they're going to love seeing me getting beaten up and stuff.
- 55:51But if I can get all my jokes in that the adults are entertained
- 55:54and the adults are enjoying themselves, that's my job.
- 55:58Like you get me on that one, like a lot of what are like
- 56:01wrestlers will will come out and they'll like that's what I love
- 56:05about wrestling. It's very varied.
- 56:07Like so wrestlers can they'll wrestle so that they can have
- 56:09the most athletic match that they have and everybody will be
- 56:12entertained because it's this athletic feat.
- 56:15But for me, that's obviously I'm just, you know, fucking I'm I'm
- 56:2010 lbs of shit in a 5 LB bag like out there, wrestling in
- 56:23front of there in in front of families and doing it in a
- 56:27ridiculous way. So my whole and exactly what I
- 56:31try and get over for myself is that I am just there for the
- 56:38parents. The kids are going to react no
- 56:39matter what. They're going to hate me.
- 56:40I'm I'm a big loud character. They're going to hate me, but
- 56:42the parents are going to get entertained by me no matter
- 56:44what. Especially if you pull a
- 56:45microphone in my hands, that's when I'm like, give me that
- 56:48microphone and I am going to leave.
- 56:50Moms and dads leaving like they didn't just show up and sit down
- 56:53there and watch their kid get entertained.
- 56:55They were entertained at the same time by that fucking
- 56:58ridiculous spastic in army panties.
- 57:04Ridiculous spastic is like the best thing you could have said.
- 57:10I want to have my heads on here lies just see a ridiculous
- 57:13spastic. Right, let's jump back into
- 57:19this. So this next one.
- 57:21What were you in The Simpsons? Or.
- 57:22Was it great white shark? What was it?
- 57:26OK, where? Who am I?
- 57:33So this guy, it's a guy this time, marries multiple women,
- 57:40forbidding them from entering one chamber, and when they
- 57:43disobey, they discover his other murdered wives.
- 57:48In some, he personally dismembers them or hangs them on
- 57:52hooks inspired by real figures such as by I'm not Saying that
- 57:58and serial. He was a serial killer and a
- 58:01nobleman. Gilles de race de race Gilles,
- 58:09Gilles de Rey. I don't know how to say that.
- 58:12I. Don't know.
- 58:14Gilles de Race, Yeah, I mean. What GI double LES?
- 58:22Sounds like sounds like. Giles.
- 58:26Or. Giles Giles de Rey Giles de Rey,
- 58:30We'll say serial killer and nobleman.
- 58:33So true crime fairy tale. True crime, Fairy tale Domestic
- 58:39abuse allegory. Montessori.
- 58:46What the fuck? You just put me into like,
- 58:51here's some rhyme. Here's some words that rhyme
- 58:54with Corey Allegory. Allegory.
- 58:56What's the? Story.
- 58:59Totalitory. Annoying.
- 59:03Here's your story. What's the story?
- 59:06Morning. Parallels to modern coercive
- 59:12control. What do you think this one is
- 59:14this? I would have never got this one
- 59:16because I've never heard of this one.
- 59:17I've heard the name. I threw a real thing on this.
- 59:22One question. OK so he I'll read it again.
- 59:28He marries multiple women, forbidding them from entering
- 59:31this chamber. When they disobey and go into
- 59:35the chamber, they find his murdered wives in this in this
- 59:39chamber. In some he personally dismembers
- 59:42them or hangs them on hooks. Inspired by a real figure.
- 59:46That fucking serial killer guy. I I honestly I I'm drawing a
- 59:54blank here. I don't know this one.
- 59:56Never heard blue beard. I've never heard of it.
- 59:59I've heard it mentioned in The Simpsons.
- 1:00:01I've. Heard Blue Beard Pirates.
- 1:00:03But that's, yeah, that's what I was thinking.
- 1:00:07I like, it's not. It's apparently it's a like a
- 1:00:10fairy tale, a grim kind of thing.
- 1:00:13Never heard it. I don't know the I don't know
- 1:00:16the like PG version of this. I only have like the dare.
- 1:00:19Versions because every single scene what's.
- 1:00:21Super obvious to me. You can't make a PG version of
- 1:00:24this because like, like what's like, I can see like the Nuggets
- 1:00:30of corn at this. Loudly, yes.
- 1:00:33I can do it. I can do it right?
- 1:00:35You know that episode of Futurama where Leela thinks
- 1:00:41she's finally found the one other of her?
- 1:00:45Kind. Ed Ed.
- 1:00:49Ed O'Neill. Ed O'Neill, Yeah.
- 1:00:54Yeah, Who was Katie? Was Katie Sagal's husband?
- 1:00:58She played Peg and then he's hiding all these other women
- 1:01:03from her because he can shape shift into like whatever alien
- 1:01:06that he wants to. So he has all of these different
- 1:01:09wives and he plans like weddings to them on like different days
- 1:01:14and stuff. That's the one thing I can kind
- 1:01:16of like in this too. I think that you might be right
- 1:01:20that that might actually be based on this story because that
- 1:01:23sounds. Maybe.
- 1:01:24Like, way too similar Like. I think you might have nailed
- 1:01:27that. I can be smart sometimes.
- 1:01:32I'm well. Read.
- 1:01:33Natural. Cartoons to fucking fairy tale.
- 1:01:40That's the closest thing that I can think of.
- 1:01:42Like I've never heard anything like.
- 1:01:45No, I think you're dead. I think you nailed it.
- 1:01:46I think you're dead on well. I'm gonna have to Google like
- 1:01:50what the actual fairy tale version is of of Bluebird
- 1:01:53because. It's, you know, might not be
- 1:01:54because like, you know, like the pipe paper of Hamlin and stuff
- 1:01:57like that. Like you hear that story a shit
- 1:02:00load of names, but like Disney never did a version of it.
- 1:02:02Not that I fucking know of anyway.
- 1:02:03Yeah. Do I curse too much?
- 1:02:06I know what I just put, you know, I put a fucking into that
- 1:02:10sentence that I didn't need to I.
- 1:02:12Think we both do. I'm Irish, it's my culture.
- 1:02:19So be all right, OK? Blue Beard French folk tale, the
- 1:02:23most famous surviving version of which was written by Charles
- 1:02:26Perrault and 1st published by Bourbon in Paris in 1697.
- 1:02:32So it is very old. The tale is about a wealthy man
- 1:02:34in the habit of murdering his wives and the attempts of the
- 1:02:39present one to avoid the fate of her predecessors.
- 1:02:42The white dove, the robber bridge room and Fitcher's bird,
- 1:02:46also called Fowler's fowl, are tails.
- 1:02:49SIM. I've.
- 1:02:50I haven't heard of any of these. The notoriety of the tale is
- 1:02:55such that Merriam Webster gives the word blue beard definition
- 1:02:58of a man who marries and kills one wife after another.
- 1:03:00Oh, that's a term. OK, All right.
- 1:03:08Yeah. The verb blue bearding has even
- 1:03:10appeared as a way to describe the crime of either killing a
- 1:03:14series of women or seducing and abandoning a series of women.
- 1:03:19I have. How have I?
- 1:03:19I love, like, fucking my true crime stuff.
- 1:03:22How have I never heard of this? Blue Beard gives his wife Keith
- 1:03:26the castle, blah blah blah. Is pink bearding what you do
- 1:03:30then? Yeah, there's.
- 1:03:38Keep a light on, that's what I I.
- 1:03:40Was just trying to make a little joke.
- 1:03:42Fuck me. No, it's a dark that's again,
- 1:03:46I'll go back to The Simpsons. It's Lisa's wedding.
- 1:03:50It's like, what's that joke? I don't know, but I laughed just
- 1:03:52in case, ha ha ha. It's.
- 1:03:55Good to hear a boisterous American laugh.
- 1:04:02That's another vocal SIM. I gets me brain medicine from
- 1:04:05the National. Health.
- 1:04:12Master, you has found a new love.
- 1:04:18Alright, I'm not doing this OK, But some scholars interpret the
- 1:04:25Bluebird stories as a fable preaching obedience to wives.
- 1:04:30Folklorist Maria Taylor has suggested that the tale
- 1:04:34encourages women not to unquestioningly follow
- 1:04:37patriarchal rules. Women breaking men's rules and
- 1:04:40the fairy tale can be seen as a metaphor for women breaking
- 1:04:43society's rules and being punished for their
- 1:04:45transgression. The key can be seen as a sign of
- 1:04:48disobedience or transgression. So the key basically he gives
- 1:04:51her the key to his castle and he can go into.
- 1:04:53She's given the permission to go into any room apart from this
- 1:04:56chamber that all his dead wives are in.
- 1:04:59It can also be seen as a sign that one should not trust their
- 1:05:02husband. Taylor, however, goes on to
- 1:05:04speak of Blue Beard as something of a.
- 1:05:06Beauty and the Beast narrative. The original Beauty and the
- 1:05:11Beast tale by. Why are all the French writing
- 1:05:15these. Jean Marie Le Prince du Bot is
- 1:05:19said to be a story created. That sounds very.
- 1:05:22French. I did all I have to go is
- 1:05:25mermaid from there but. That's.
- 1:05:28It can't be based. On Beauty and the Beast, because
- 1:05:35I already have Beauty and the Beast on this list.
- 1:05:37So which it does seem very interesting.
- 1:05:40I would actually kind of, I think I would like to to watch
- 1:05:43that Lifetime movie, yeah. Oh fuck.
- 1:05:48Fuck. You.
- 1:05:48I have it. I know what it is now.
- 1:05:50I know what it is now. Ted in Buffy.
- 1:05:54It's literally Ted in Buffy. It's the robot John Ritter.
- 1:05:58And he starts going out with Buffy's mom, right?
- 1:06:02And then they go and investigate his house.
- 1:06:04And then they find literally a closet full of his dead wives.
- 1:06:08Because he's a robot. He's been around since the
- 1:06:09fucking 60s and, yeah, and he's like, literally, he doesn't let
- 1:06:13her go to his house or anything. And he's trying to get Buffy out
- 1:06:16of the way and kill her off because she's interfering.
- 1:06:19And he just wants to keep having wives and killing them.
- 1:06:22And. And yeah, that's that's another
- 1:06:24thing. So yeah, blue beard, Ted, if you
- 1:06:27watch that episode, Season 2, Buffy, very, very good episode.
- 1:06:31RIP John Ritter, a great man. Yeah.
- 1:06:35OK Oh, yeah, 100 percent, 100%. All right, so any who #10 then
- 1:06:50this is your favorite One originate tale is old time women
- 1:06:55shagging big dogs. Originates from tales of girls
- 1:07:00sold into marriages with much older men.
- 1:07:03In earlier versions, the beast is more monster than man, and
- 1:07:07the story emphasizes obedience and gratitude.
- 1:07:10Stockholm Still Stockholm syndrome origins and how the
- 1:07:17tale romanticize captivity, basically.
- 1:07:22But he buys her a No he doesn't. He gives her a library.
- 1:07:26Like what more does she want? In the Disney.
- 1:07:29Version like it doesn't say that he doesn't do it in the in the
- 1:07:34the original version. If someone bought me a.
- 1:07:36Fucking like gaming library? I'd be like.
- 1:07:40Thanks bro, I'm I'm in a castle, I've got the fucking PS-5 in any
- 1:07:45game I could possibly ever want. I'll fuck a dog, you know what I
- 1:07:48mean? Like, oh, like I'll put out
- 1:07:50every now and again for that. That's fine.
- 1:07:51Do. You think I would fuck a dog?
- 1:07:54Fuck. A very ugly man, is what I'm
- 1:07:55trying to say. The little red red rocket.
- 1:08:00You have like it has to come out of the hairy little, hairy
- 1:08:04little the. Sheath.
- 1:08:10That's another word I hate. Sheath.
- 1:08:13You think, I think after he owns sheets and he rides her like do
- 1:08:19you think after he he he tries to get off her and then they.
- 1:08:23Get stuck together. And you have to get a basin of
- 1:08:26water and throw it over them. And he like flips around and is
- 1:08:29like. They're both just back.
- 1:08:31To back like get off you. Get off, it's not my fault I
- 1:08:37have a barbed. Penis.
- 1:08:40You should have known that when you wrote a dog Man.
- 1:08:44I thought that was cats. I know cats do.
- 1:08:48But that's that's how it gets locked in there.
- 1:08:51So they I was. Just gonna say this is probably
- 1:08:54one of the better episodes. We're just talking about dog
- 1:08:57cock. I was saying, I was thinking to
- 1:09:02myself this, this is kind of a, it's just, this is kind of a.
- 1:09:06Slow burn. Kind of an episode, but now that
- 1:09:08we're talking about dog cock. I really just.
- 1:09:14Got to stick with it. Just let it fill just if you
- 1:09:19made it this if you if you. Made it this far.
- 1:09:26Congratulations, now it's good if you tuned out after 20
- 1:09:30minutes. We also do not blame you, but
- 1:09:33you're missing. Out you listen.
- 1:09:34To this for an hour and 10 minutes, you're being rewarded
- 1:09:37with dog cock. Fucking them.
- 1:09:47Hell, this. Is good.
- 1:09:49I'm just, I can't like I'm just I'm wondering like the like,
- 1:09:56would you have to get like neutered?
- 1:09:58And then the beast has that big collar on so he doesn't lick at
- 1:10:01his own balls, we assume. Going around humping that
- 1:10:05teapot? Yeah.
- 1:10:09Come here, Mrs. Potts. And your little son.
- 1:10:12Ship. Like all the all the pillows?
- 1:10:15On the couch just have these fucking horrified faces because
- 1:10:18he keeps humping the fucking sentient furniture.
- 1:10:23Fucking Candlestick has like bite marks.
- 1:10:25In it because he just. Beasts stop having sex with the
- 1:10:32furniture, they have souls. Why am I laughing like so?
- 1:10:44Show up. You know, do you know what's
- 1:10:49that? None of the none of the books.
- 1:10:51This is 1 funny turn, but none of the books are sentient.
- 1:10:55Our library that she had like so every other piece, like every
- 1:10:58everything else in the house, like talks to her, but he got
- 1:11:00her a library and like none of the books talked to her.
- 1:11:06That's really taking the air out this fucking phone.
- 1:11:12Sorry guys, sorry, I had a thought that wasn't bestiality.
- 1:11:18What was the movie that had the talking book?
- 1:11:20Oh, Macaulay Culkin, the Pagemaster.
- 1:11:23Pagemaster yeah, I do remember that.
- 1:11:26Actually and you've. You've just sparked back a
- 1:11:28memory from the fucking 90s to me about a boy hitting his head
- 1:11:32and then looking up at a very colourful, a very colourful
- 1:11:36ceiling. And then he enters a bunch of
- 1:11:38books where one book is a pirate and there's another.
- 1:11:42Yeah. Fuck, where would I?
- 1:11:45Find that I need to see this movie.
- 1:11:48I think it's on Disney, Disney Plus.
- 1:11:50Well, we're boycotting Disney. We're not boycotting Disney.
- 1:11:52But yeah, what was he gonna say? Actually, that's that's made
- 1:11:56that pop back into my head. I was going to ask you earlier
- 1:11:59and we got off the top Roald Dahl.
- 1:12:04What is the book with the ugly couple and one of them?
- 1:12:08Had a woman. Had a glass eye I think what
- 1:12:11it's called. The twits.
- 1:12:15The twits, that's what it is. I couldn't think of it.
- 1:12:17I remember she used to like pop her eyeball out and like, roll
- 1:12:20it at people and scare them. Yeah, I would do that too if I
- 1:12:23had a glass light. Yeah, I need to.
- 1:12:25I need to. I got my rolled owl and yes,
- 1:12:28yeah, let's go. Next, I've never heard of this
- 1:12:32one either, but I will say I'll get into laughter.
- 1:12:37So a stepmother kills her stepson, chops him up and makes
- 1:12:41a Stew, and his father unknowingly eats it.
- 1:12:46The boy reincarnates as a bird, kills the stepmother with a
- 1:12:50millstone. What is a millstone?
- 1:12:53A millstone is a big granite stone that they use for grinding
- 1:12:56corn into dust so they can make flour.
- 1:13:00OK, I get you. Kills her with a millstone and
- 1:13:04he transforms back into. A boy, A corn.
- 1:13:07Wheat, wheat, wheat. Cool wheat.
- 1:13:15You're being weird. Yeah, a lot of cannibalism.
- 1:13:22A lot of cannibalism in these in.
- 1:13:25These. This one.
- 1:13:31What What, what what what fucking what fairy tale is this?
- 1:13:36This is getting me. I'll give you a hint that you
- 1:13:39won't have any, you won't be able to piece it together, but
- 1:13:42it's just really interesting that I use these berries in
- 1:13:47spells of time. Raspberries.
- 1:13:54But. I.
- 1:13:57Fucking I don't know. That come from a tree.
- 1:14:04All berries come from fucking trees.
- 1:14:09Bushes mostly, but. Yeah, well, tree Bush tomato or
- 1:14:13tomato? Branch fucking grass.
- 1:14:19I don't know what is it. It's.
- 1:14:24AI know I've never heard of it so I'm not going to.
- 1:14:27OK, Yeah. What?
- 1:14:28What is it? What's?
- 1:14:29What are we? Talking about the juniper tree.
- 1:14:32The juniper tree. I've heard of this.
- 1:14:34The juniper. Juniper berries.
- 1:14:36Yeah, Yeah, I've heard of it. Like, obviously I've heard the
- 1:14:40universe. I don't know if I've heard of
- 1:14:42that fairy tale. Yeah, I've never heard of it
- 1:14:47either. Like I've never.
- 1:14:48And the bird thing is really weird.
- 1:14:51Yeah. I wonder if you go to like
- 1:14:55Central Europe or you know, like the continents do, they are the
- 1:14:59more familiar with these kind of fairy tales because like we
- 1:15:03would have the main ones because of like Disney and the
- 1:15:06storybooks. But we have our own kind of
- 1:15:08weird ancient tales ourselves that we kind of, we didn't get
- 1:15:13mixed up in these European fairy tales.
- 1:15:18Maybe I don't. Maybe.
- 1:15:19Maybe. I'm I've never I'll just I'll
- 1:15:24say it to you now. The rest of this list, I've
- 1:15:27never heard of any of them. So what are we on?
- 1:15:36We're on #11 and we've got no, this is 11.
- 1:15:43Oh, OK. Yeah, sorry, sorry.
- 1:15:45We're on #11 and we've got 10 more to go and I've never heard
- 1:15:48of any of them so. Well, this is going to be
- 1:15:52interesting, listening to the viewers of us talking about
- 1:15:55stories like, I should say, listeners, not viewers.
- 1:15:59I. Mean they're interesting.
- 1:16:03OK, yeah, let's let's call for it then.
- 1:16:04I want to hear what like people were fucking saying to their
- 1:16:08kids back, like talking their kids in the bed in the fucking
- 1:16:12AD Yeah, I mean with these horrible stories.
- 1:16:15Oh, the. Guys, just guys just sent me a
- 1:16:18video of him jerking off. I'm gonna watch this.
- 1:16:21Let's see if there's going to want to see.
- 1:16:23If there's a guys just sent me a video of him jerking off, I want
- 1:16:26to play it and see if there's sound.
- 1:16:28Can you hear sound? I can't because I've got my
- 1:16:29headphones on, so I'm going to put it into the mic.
- 1:16:32This is like OK. OK, well.
- 1:16:35Here we go. This is what the content is now.
- 1:16:37Oh. He's just slap I stroking it now
- 1:16:43OK we're. Just slapping.
- 1:16:44Around a bit. All right, Sorry.
- 1:16:46That's. Nice.
- 1:16:49Nice. So this is called.
- 1:16:56We're just. Going to deal with we're.
- 1:16:57Just going to gloss over that Harry are.
- 1:16:59You just. You just played a video of a man
- 1:17:03masturbating into the microphone.
- 1:17:06Yeah. That's all right #11.
- 1:17:13This is now this is now turned into porn, right?
- 1:17:18So the rubber bridge room. A girl is betrothed to a rich
- 1:17:24man who lures her to his house in the woods.
- 1:17:27Why does he have to lure? Her if they're already
- 1:17:29betrothed, that don't make no sense by her.
- 1:17:32She discovers he and his companions are cannibals who
- 1:17:36kill and eat women. She escapes and exposes him at
- 1:17:41their wedding. She she escapes and then still
- 1:17:46marries him and then exposes him at the wedding feast.
- 1:17:52That makes no sense. This is she's stupid.
- 1:17:54She should have been eaten. That's stupid.
- 1:17:58Fairy tale as a Horror Story parallel to serial killers and
- 1:18:05the Grimm brothers. Wrote because of course they
- 1:18:07fucking did. Creepy perverts.
- 1:18:10But wrote to a rich man who lures her to his house in the
- 1:18:13woods. Discovers he and his companions
- 1:18:15are cannibal to kill and eat women.
- 1:18:18She escapes and exposes him at her at their wedding feast.
- 1:18:23But why does she? Why does she go back and marry
- 1:18:26him? Why would you do that?
- 1:18:29I have no sympathy for this character.
- 1:18:31I feel like we're missing a good chunk of whatever the fuck this
- 1:18:35story is. I'm gonna, I'm gonna Google it,
- 1:18:39OK? What, like I don't, I just don't
- 1:18:47get any of that story, really. Right.
- 1:18:50Rubber bridge room German. Obviously fucking.
- 1:18:54We should have guessed that. Are you fucking kidding me, you
- 1:18:58retard? Sorry you're all cuddling when
- 1:19:02you're a cat and I'm fucking yelling at mine.
- 1:19:06Are you done? Are you done?
- 1:19:10Yeah. You hurt your paw.
- 1:19:11Oh, fuck you fucking adopted retard.
- 1:19:14All right, OK. Rubber bridge room German
- 1:19:17fairies he is adopted under retard German fairy tale
- 1:19:24collected by the Brothers Grimm tale #40 Joseph Jacobs included
- 1:19:29a variant Mr. fox with the original oh so it's Shakespeare
- 1:19:351599 alludes to Mr. Fox we're saying we don't understand any
- 1:19:43of these stories. But it was written by people who
- 1:19:46shat in balls and threw it out the window.
- 1:19:47So like, are we like this is this is the like, this is the
- 1:19:52time that these stories are being being built.
- 1:19:55But Much Ado About Nothingness is that that was supposed to be
- 1:19:58some kind of fascicle comedy, right?
- 1:20:01Yes, so this this guy who is the murderer was a character in much
- 1:20:08to do about nothing. It's kind of based on that
- 1:20:10character, but I'm guessing it didn't go into I mean, I guess
- 1:20:15it's kind of like you could say it's a spinoff from much to do
- 1:20:18about nothing. So a wait, no, I was going to
- 1:20:24say a Miller, but it's a Miller wishes to marry his daughter off
- 1:20:29and so when a rich suitor appears, he betrothes her to him
- 1:20:32one day. The suitor complaints that the
- 1:20:34daughter never visits him. Oh OK.
- 1:20:37This is back in the days where it's like an arranged marriage I
- 1:20:41guess. He tells her that he lives in
- 1:20:43the forest and overrides her reluctance to visit by telling
- 1:20:47her he will leave a trail of ashes so she could find his
- 1:20:50home. She fills her pockets with peas
- 1:20:53and lentils and marks the trail with them as she follows the
- 1:20:56ashes, which in the forest they're going to be eaten by
- 1:20:58birds. Peas and lentils is the worst
- 1:21:00thing you could drop to fucking anyway.
- 1:21:04Pretty Hansel and grateful as well.
- 1:21:05A derivative like they let their.
- 1:21:09Crumbs in there. Yeah, they lead her to a dark
- 1:21:13and silent house A bird in a cage calls out turn back, turn
- 1:21:16back, thou Bunny bride. Nor in this House of death,
- 1:21:19abide. Shakespeare was a fucking mental
- 1:21:22case. An old woman in a cellar kitchen
- 1:21:25tells her that the people there will kill and eat her unless the
- 1:21:30old woman protects her and hides her behind a cask.
- 1:21:33A band of robbers arrives with a young woman, whom they kill and
- 1:21:37prepare to eat. When one chops off a finger to
- 1:21:40get at the golden ring on it. The finger and ring fly through
- 1:21:43the air and land in the lap of the hiding woman.
- 1:21:46The old woman discourages the group from searching for it
- 1:21:49because neither the finger nor the ring are likely to run away,
- 1:21:52and they'll find it in the morning.
- 1:21:54The old woman then drugs the robber's wine.
- 1:21:57As soon as they fall asleep, the two living women flee.
- 1:22:01Although wind has blown away, the ashes that guided the
- 1:22:03Miller's daughter to the head I know have sprung up into
- 1:22:08seedlings, and the two follow the path of plants and reach the
- 1:22:11young woman's home. When the wedding day arrives and
- 1:22:14the guests are telling stories, the bridegroom urges the young
- 1:22:18woman to tell a story She says she will tell of a dream she had
- 1:22:23and tells the story of going to the murderer's den in between
- 1:22:26each sentence, saying this was only a dream, My love.
- 1:22:28When she tells the pirate of the finger falling into her lap, she
- 1:22:31produces the finger. The robber bridegroom and all
- 1:22:34his band members are subsequently put to death.
- 1:22:37How was that a fairy tale? I'm going to tell you I didn't
- 1:22:41pay attention to any of that was if I do 10 more of them, Danny,
- 1:22:47I will jump out this fucking window beside I.
- 1:22:49Thought it was good. It was a good.
- 1:22:51Basically, she got she, yeah, the whole patrol thing.
- 1:22:54She goes to this robber's house, an old woman who works at the
- 1:22:57house saves her, and then they run away from the place together
- 1:23:05because the old woman drugs them so the man doesn't even know
- 1:23:07she's gone to the house in the 1st place.
- 1:23:09And then they only meet again on the wedding day.
- 1:23:11And then she rats me up by having the actual finger.
- 1:23:14Anyway. Next one donkey skin.
- 1:23:21A king promises his dying wife he'll only remarry someone as
- 1:23:25beautiful as her, and the only candidate is his daughter.
- 1:23:33To escape, she asks for impossible dresses, sun moon,
- 1:23:37stars, and then flees disguised. Flees disguised in a donkey's
- 1:23:42hide. I'm so bored, this.
- 1:23:52I'm so bored. I'm so intolerably, horribly
- 1:23:56bored. I you said.
- 1:23:58Donkey skin and all I could think it was Larry Long shocks I
- 1:24:01want I just. Face Her dad promises her mom
- 1:24:07that he'll only marry someone as beautiful as her, and then he's
- 1:24:11like, well, the obvious choice is my daughter.
- 1:24:14So she runs away and then disguises herself in a donkey's
- 1:24:19hide like skins a donkey and runs away.
- 1:24:23I guess. I've.
- 1:24:24Never heard of any of these. I've unregistered, but my brain
- 1:24:27has unregistered. Do you know what this feels
- 1:24:30like? It feels like when you're a kid
- 1:24:32and your parents bring you to a pub and like you'll just have to
- 1:24:38sit there and you're not allowed to run around or do anything.
- 1:24:41There's no such thing as a Nintendo DS yet.
- 1:24:43So you're just kind of sitting there eating an open packet of
- 1:24:47tail and wishing that you could be at home playing with
- 1:24:50Transformers or something. And now?
- 1:24:52I'm just here listening about something and his daughter from
- 1:24:56fairy tale #12 that I just don't care about and I just fucking
- 1:25:00want. No, it's OK.
- 1:25:01We're on, we're on 14 now, right?
- 1:25:04We're on 14. Just let me get through it.
- 1:25:06Let me, just let me finish the fucking list.
- 1:25:08Right, Alright, 14 The goose girl.
- 1:25:14You'll. Recognize the next one.
- 1:25:16You'll recognize the next one. OK, the next one.
- 1:25:18I promise. I promise.
- 1:25:20All right, Just stay with it. So the goose girl, a servant
- 1:25:23forces a Princess to swap identities on the way to her
- 1:25:26wedding. When the truth is revealed, the
- 1:25:28impostor is executed by being stuffed into a barrel lined with
- 1:25:32spikes and. Rolled down what the?
- 1:25:37Fuck is this. What the fuck are we talking?
- 1:25:46About here What's going on right now?
- 1:25:50Next one, All right. This one is real.
- 1:25:52This is a real historical mystery.
- 1:25:59She makes her swap. What are we?
- 1:26:06Doing. Here what is this?
- 1:26:08I've never remember. That.
- 1:26:10Was. An hour ago.
- 1:26:12You'll know. You'll know the next.
- 1:26:14You'll know this one. You'll know this one, right?
- 1:26:16Based on a real historical mystery, in 1220 or 12, twelve
- 1:26:2184130 children disappeared from Hamlin.
- 1:26:27Possibly died. Yeah, possibly died in landslide
- 1:26:31plague or were recruited for migration crusades.
- 1:26:36Rats weren't added until centuries later, so apparently
- 1:26:39there was no rats. That wasn't the rats that like
- 1:26:41danced behind him or something. Yeah, So the idea was that they
- 1:26:44were infested with rats. The town was infested with rats.
- 1:26:49And the Pied Piper came along and he said, I'll get rid of
- 1:26:53your rats for you, but you have to pay me a substantial amount
- 1:26:55of money. And the people said, we'll pay
- 1:26:57you all the money that we want or that you want.
- 1:27:00And he said, Okie Dokie. And then he did a little merry
- 1:27:04kind of a a dance and marched out of town while playing his
- 1:27:09his pipe. And the rats were enamoured by
- 1:27:12the music and they followed him out of the town.
- 1:27:15And then when he went back in to claim his money, the people went
- 1:27:18ha, ha, sucker. You aren't getting any money off
- 1:27:21of us. You should have got us.
- 1:27:23You should have asked for the money up front.
- 1:27:26You're a fucking idiot. And he said idiot, eh?
- 1:27:28And he started playing his pipe and all the kids done a little,
- 1:27:33and they followed him out of the town like a zombie.
- 1:27:36And he hid all the kids in a cave and he held them for ransom
- 1:27:39until the town paid all the money.
- 1:27:41That's the white paper of Hamlin.
- 1:27:44And I I am so glad that I recognized our story here and
- 1:27:51that I could jump in, because why you're reporting women in
- 1:27:55spiky barrels and rolling down the hill with no end of the
- 1:27:59story. Here's another one.
- 1:28:02That's Futurama. I mean, I know this is Futurama.
- 1:28:07The girl without hands. So a Miller again.
- 1:28:11We love Miller. Isn't this a Miller?
- 1:28:12Bargains his daughter away to the devil to resist his
- 1:28:16temptations. She cuts up her own hands.
- 1:28:19Eventually she is awarded with angelic silver hands.
- 1:28:22It's the the. Devil was.
- 1:28:26Unfortunate, yeah. Eventually she's rewarded with
- 1:28:31angelic silver hands, Christian purity tales, mutilation as
- 1:28:35salvation, which that is such a good episode.
- 1:28:38Is it? What's like, oh hell is other
- 1:28:39robots such a fun? Episode.
- 1:28:42Where Dan? Is it Dan Castellano?
- 1:28:45I can never say that. That's Dan Castellano, isn't it?
- 1:28:49Yeah. I know there's AT though.
- 1:28:51There's a Castellanta. I don't know.
- 1:28:53Anyway, the guy who who does the voice of Homer also does the
- 1:28:56voice of the devil in in Futurama.
- 1:29:01Is. Going to do a podcast that she's
- 1:29:04just a. Scientologist.
- 1:29:06She is a Scientologist, I know. And she's Sabrina Carpenter's
- 1:29:10aunt. Fuck off.
- 1:29:12And she was trying to get Sabrina Carpenter.
- 1:29:13Yeah, she's trying to get Sabrina Carpenter to be the face
- 1:29:16of Scientology. And she's just like, no, Aunt
- 1:29:18Nancy, you're a fucking kook. But yeah, she, she's like her
- 1:29:23like, like I was gonna say immediate and like, yeah, legit
- 1:29:28like her mom's sister. Yeah, interesting.
- 1:29:32Which is really interesting. But yeah, and again, like a lot
- 1:29:36of these things that I've never heard of, but Futurama and like
- 1:29:39the writers for the for Futurama and The Simpsons seem to kind of
- 1:29:43take these as like ideas and stuff for episodes, which is
- 1:29:47really, really interesting because it's like, how much
- 1:29:51research are you doing, you know?
- 1:29:53I suppose it's pretty tricky for the likes of Futurama to do
- 1:29:57stories that The Simpsons haven't done with a bunch of
- 1:30:01people from The Simpsons. So like, do they go back and be
- 1:30:05like, let's repurpose a lot of these like old stories that
- 1:30:08maybe aren't really well known, but like are a little homage
- 1:30:13like The Simpsons is kind of a hat tip to a lot of kind of
- 1:30:21current affairs or classic movies or you know, like media
- 1:30:25that will be happening like 20th century kind of media.
- 1:30:28But like, I think what Futurama does is it goes and kind of
- 1:30:33Lampoon's historical stuff and puts them into a future setting.
- 1:30:36Like, you know, like more Moby Dick and stuff like.
- 1:30:41That. Yes, yeah, they love that kind
- 1:30:45of. That's yeah, yes.
- 1:30:46History repeating itself, cyclical history.
- 1:30:48I fucking yeah. I love.
- 1:30:50I love that idea. I'm on one with you to rabbit
- 1:30:54today. You've got it.
- 1:30:56They're nailing. You're really fucking.
- 1:30:57Did you watch them? No.
- 1:31:00He's. Like I'm not yet.
- 1:31:03I can't bring myself to it. Is it OK?
- 1:31:05I'm just going to say OK, because I'm not going to ask if
- 1:31:07it's good. It's.
- 1:31:10Like. You know, it's, it's a new
- 1:31:14season of Futurama. That's what I'll say with you.
- 1:31:17I mean I. Like, you know.
- 1:31:19Your classics are your classics, but the new ones are just like
- 1:31:22yes I like Futurama so I'm going to watch this and enjoy it for
- 1:31:26what it is. Yeah, I mean, I had such as such
- 1:31:31high hopes for Enchanted because like I love that time anyway,
- 1:31:37that like medieval time, whatever.
- 1:31:39And I thought it would be really good.
- 1:31:40There's parts of it that are funny, but like a lot of I'm
- 1:31:42just kind of, whereas the Futurama is just joke after joke
- 1:31:45after joke, even if you don't realize it, like just tiny
- 1:31:49little things. Like I was watching it a few
- 1:31:52weeks ago. I'm like I just burst out
- 1:31:53laughing while I was like eating and I like spot food all over
- 1:31:56myself. But it was like the episode I
- 1:31:59they all bleed into one. But still, I remember the quotes
- 1:32:01where like Fry just won't get off the couch.
- 1:32:03She's just like watching TV all the time.
- 1:32:05She you're covered in bed sores and he's like covered.
- 1:32:08I don't know. Why he would have?
- 1:32:10Just like it's like you can't. And he's like, he gets like his,
- 1:32:18his, his 90s apartment. And she's like, you really want
- 1:32:22to live in a place like this? The floors are made of such
- 1:32:24hardwood. It's 8:00 Time to get busy.
- 1:32:29And he like, turns off the light and puts on like fucking sort of
- 1:32:32mix a lot. Like you can't just sit here in
- 1:32:34the dark listening to classical. Music, it's like.
- 1:32:36I could if you didn't turn off the light and shut off the
- 1:32:38stereo. I like the Futurama.
- 1:32:45I hate the term. I I'm not a big fan of her witty
- 1:32:49writing because like witty would say like it's something that
- 1:32:52comes up on the spot like so like it is it's that it's the
- 1:32:56quick rapid for your jokes, like joke after joke.
- 1:33:00And it's not like a it's not like set a punch line.
- 1:33:04It just seems to be kind of like punch line, punch line, punch
- 1:33:07line, punch line, punch line, like like every like this.
- 1:33:11Sometimes they have every word of a conversation as a punch
- 1:33:13line, like you know, from the start to the finish.
- 1:33:15Yeah. And it's so good.
- 1:33:18And there's like, there's not one character that you can like
- 1:33:23be like, oh, this is kind of a boring car.
- 1:33:25Every fucking character is so funny.
- 1:33:28Like down to like Scruffy. Scruffy has like what, 10
- 1:33:33sentences in the entire? Show.
- 1:33:36Like and they're not even full. Sentences.
- 1:33:40In the new season. There's a very good there's in
- 1:33:43the new season, there's a very good and it's just a labor and
- 1:33:48Scruffy's go into something. They're going on an adventure
- 1:33:52and it's just. Scruffy.
- 1:33:54Just comes into. Play and just go and.
- 1:33:56Scruffy's go into that's it, that's it.
- 1:34:01Just featured pretty well in the episode, but like it's.
- 1:34:04I love Scruffy, but it's it's even things like you can't and
- 1:34:07because people don't know Futurama well enough.
- 1:34:09Like I know if I posted it you'd get it, but like I always like,
- 1:34:13I always joke about killing myself like all the time, right
- 1:34:16I'm. Like I do that too.
- 1:34:21Yeah, but I was going to post like, in fact, I tell my wife I
- 1:34:24said hello. No.
- 1:34:28One would get that, but. You so if I do actually do it.
- 1:34:35I'm going to leave a note that says.
- 1:34:36Tell my wife I said hello and that's for you.
- 1:34:44Yeah, it's brilliant. Perfect.
- 1:34:46I have no. Strong feelings either way.
- 1:34:52Oh God. It's such a good episode.
- 1:35:03Or what's the one where they go to the castle?
- 1:35:06Or the Bender's uncle dies and he gets oh, he gets haunted by
- 1:35:11the car isn't. It yeah, the where car.
- 1:35:15Work. Curse, curse of the way.
- 1:35:17I forget what the name of that one is, but yeah, that's good.
- 1:35:21There's a there's actually a few room that they go with the
- 1:35:23castle. So like I had to go on my head.
- 1:35:25I was automatically going to when Freud drinks the Emperor or
- 1:35:29when they go to OH. I love that.
- 1:35:32One small planets. There's a lot of castles
- 1:35:35involved in in Futurama for something that's set in the
- 1:35:37future. I know, I know.
- 1:35:40It's so good. I watched it like another one
- 1:35:43that I say another one of my vocal stems is like, you know,
- 1:35:46we're like firing through. It is always like.
- 1:35:47Good news. Everyone and oh, he just has

- 1:36:42her number. How do you like them apples?
- 1:36:44Very. Good, that's the monkey then.
- 1:36:51That's what number are we on? Please get me through this
- 1:36:54because like, we're Futurama's phoning.
- 1:36:58We've two more. We've two more.
- 1:37:06So this this this one is Japanese.
- 1:37:09The boy who drew cats, right? Maybe we'll find a few.
- 1:37:14We should just have made this episode.
- 1:37:16Have Futurama done this fairy tale?
- 1:37:18We should have probably. Just done that.
- 1:37:22All right. Well, a boy obsessed with.
- 1:37:24Drawing. And then we'll see a Futurama
- 1:37:26didn't. A boy obsessed with drawing cats
- 1:37:30is drawing. Destroying cats is rejected by
- 1:37:35his family. He takes refuge in a temple
- 1:37:39where a goblin rat lives overnight.
- 1:37:49Overnight, the cats that he drew on the walls of this temple come
- 1:37:54to life and they kill the goblin rat.
- 1:37:57Oh no. What the fuck is this?
- 1:38:02What is? What is?
- 1:38:05This what's going on? This isn't fairy tales.
- 1:38:10Why like? How are you?

- 1:38:23This is shite. Here.
- 1:38:30For a second, she's in fits of laughter over this.
- 1:38:32I have no idea why. This is so funny.
- 1:38:37I was This is terrible podcasting.
- 1:38:41I have no idea what's called. Honey, ladies and gentlemen, I

- 1:39:14I've never heard of it. I don't even, I, I couldn't even
- 1:39:26know what is going, what is happening right now.
- 1:39:36I don't. Know I can't.
- 1:39:39Stop all. Right.
- 1:39:41No, I can't stop. Remember when I said that this?
- 1:39:52This podcast is. Only listenable.
- 1:39:54Definitely this here is what I meant.
- 1:39:59Just you. Pissing.
- 1:40:00Yourself there. Was a sweet spot.
- 1:40:06There's a sweet spot here where we talk about.
- 1:40:08Dog makings for 5 minutes and everything else has been
- 1:40:11garbage. Anyways.
- 1:40:22What is going on? This.
- 1:40:28Little boy drew a bunch of cats in a wall and the cats came to
- 1:40:32life and. Had nobody.
- 1:40:35A goblin. Rat, A goblin rat who took him
- 1:40:39in after his parents rejected him for drawing cats, which I
- 1:40:44don't know why, but he kept drawing cats.
- 1:40:46And his Japanese family are like.
- 1:40:48But, yeah, I've never heard that one.
- 1:40:49All right. Next one is a Scottish ballad.
- 1:40:53OK, My face hurts. Tamlin, have you heard of this?
- 1:40:58Tamlin is held captive by the Fairy Queen, his lover Janice.
- 1:41:07Just Janice. Jana from #42.
- 1:41:11Jana from #42 you know her. Yeah, yeah, legit must hold must
- 1:41:18hold him through terrifying transformations, Snake line fire
- 1:41:23to win him back. Basically female heroism, shape
- 1:41:27shifting horror and fae bargains.
- 1:41:30Which I always say this right And I I.
- 1:41:32Will. I'll die on this hill, right?
- 1:41:35So you know the way I have a big fucking weird airy fairy fucking
- 1:41:41retard, but no young people buy those little.
- 1:41:47Who? Anyway, so you know what, like
- 1:41:55people buy those like fairy doors and they're like, oh,
- 1:41:59fairies are watching. Don't invite the fucking Faye
- 1:42:03into your house, right? And we can bring this back to
- 1:42:05like an Irish tale, which is changelings.
- 1:42:08Changelings are fucking terrifying.
- 1:42:10So basically the Faye, which seemed to be what they're
- 1:42:16talking about, like fairy queen Faye, whatever.
- 1:42:18In this story, they're like a huge Celtic thing.
- 1:42:21So it would make sense that this is Scottish.
- 1:42:23But people see them as these little pretty, like fucking
- 1:42:26Tinkerbell things with their little skirts on.
- 1:42:28But they're actually historically demons and they're
- 1:42:33evil. They're these little tiny
- 1:42:34things. They killed cows and they say
- 1:42:36were crops. And there's these things called
- 1:42:38like Faye traps. So if you go into the woods and
- 1:42:42you say like, say you see something, it's usually like a
- 1:42:45perfect fucking structure of like a tiny staircase or
- 1:42:48something. And you're like.
- 1:42:49Oh this is so cool. Who built?
- 1:42:50This in the middle of the fucking woods.
- 1:42:52It's a fake trap. You're trying to get you to go
- 1:42:54over there to do this. And there's a movie that came
- 1:42:57out a few years ago, just a long ago I saw in the cinema if there
- 1:43:04is a movie called The Staircase, isn't there?
- 1:43:07Yeah, but I know I'm it's, I don't think it's about what I'm
- 1:43:10thinking about with this. The actual stairs in the woods.
- 1:43:13That's them. That's that's an odd thing that
- 1:43:16you'll see like a lot of stories.
- 1:43:19That's so you're seeing in Appalachia as well.
- 1:43:21Yeah, yeah, the stairs in the woods in America.
- 1:43:24To nowhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:43:26Yeah, I think it's like. Basically, get the fuck out of
- 1:43:29the woods. Yeah, well, if you get on it,
- 1:43:30you'll never get off it. That's that's the idea.
- 1:43:32Like you, you get trapped in the woods and there's a there's
- 1:43:36spirits in the woods that are trying to entice you to walk
- 1:43:39through certain doors and stuff like that.
- 1:43:40And if you walk through them, you will leave this realm and
- 1:43:43into the next. Yeah, and it's like the so the
- 1:43:48fair, like a huge thing, like all over the world.
- 1:43:50It's like one of those kind of like you have like other kind of
- 1:43:56like ghosts and stuff that are like cemented into like culture
- 1:44:01that they're every culture has one of them.
- 1:44:03But you've the Faye, which is like fairies, little people,
- 1:44:06whatever the fuck you want. We don't call them that, do we?
- 1:44:09Like Darby O'Donnell, little people.
- 1:44:13Yeah. Well, we would have before,
- 1:44:16yeah, before it became APC term for.
- 1:44:19Is it still called Darby O'gill and the little People, or is it
- 1:44:22Darby O'gill now? Is it just Darby O'gill?
- 1:44:25Like in my head it's Darby O'gill and Little People, but
- 1:44:29like, I can't imagine they've changed.
- 1:44:31That is the Disneyfication of the Irish fate.
- 1:44:35Sean Connery doing an Irish accent is.
- 1:44:40That's the real horror in that movie.
- 1:44:42And I was terrified of that CGI banshee for fucking years.
- 1:44:47I was. What?
- 1:44:51Could you call it though? How?
- 1:44:52Would they have done it back? Then.
- 1:44:55School. Protectors, what year was that?
- 1:45:00Hang on, let me let me find out. This is a nice art.
- 1:45:03It is still called Derby Little people.
- 1:45:06It came out in 1950950959 and it was only an hour and a half long
- 1:45:15and it felt like a fucking eternity.
- 1:45:17I rewatched it during lockdown because I was just like, I'd
- 1:45:21just gotten Disney Plus and I was like fucking Derby.
- 1:45:24Oh girl, Jesus Christ, I'll watch that.
- 1:45:26And I was like telling Matt and I was like, this fucking
- 1:45:28banshee, this conflict scared to share to me.
- 1:45:30I hadn't watched it like again since it terrified me.
- 1:45:35I just refused to watch it because I was like a kid.
- 1:45:37And obviously like movies like that you kind of don't have at
- 1:45:39your disposal already. Do you know what I mean?
- 1:45:41Growing up. So I was like, I'll watch it.
- 1:45:44And then it came on and I was like.
- 1:45:47But. It's like, that's not what I'm
- 1:45:50remembering now. I was fucking terrified.
- 1:45:52And we used to live right. My nanny used to live in our
- 1:45:56score, the right under Vinegar Hill, which is, if you know
- 1:45:59anything about your specifically Wexford history, big Battle of
- 1:46:03Vinegar Hill, yadda, yadda, yadda, in the 1700s, whatever.
- 1:46:11Oh yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get
- 1:46:15that. That's funny.
- 1:46:16That's that's great. Fucking laughter fucking tips
- 1:46:19off a fucking few cats fucking drawn at a wall, but you can't
- 1:46:23laugh at a salted at Vinegar Hill.
- 1:46:26Danny, get your fucking get your come down over clouds.
- 1:46:28Yeah, no bow the grass for folks sake.
- 1:46:31This shit I have to deal with giving you fucking gold.
- 1:46:33You're looking for diamonds. This is what?
- 1:46:35This is a lot of me bollocks. I had to sit true fucking
- 1:46:38someone. Naturally, no.
- 1:46:41Well, the her own wedding with a robber, right?
- 1:46:43Whatever the fuck that was. That is literally your dating
- 1:46:48advice to me all the time. It's just like literally, oh,
- 1:46:52you know, you're getting gold and you're looking.
- 1:46:54For a diamond. You're just like you should
- 1:46:57settle you stupid bitch. Listen, listen, assaulted at
- 1:47:02Vinegar Hill isn't some fucking toothless hockey player, are we?
- 1:47:06That's the fucking Brad Pitt or fucking witty banter right
- 1:47:09there. OK, fucking deal with.
- 1:47:14OK, well I'm talking to a hockey player now that has all of his
- 1:47:17teeth and he said my autism is sexy so.
- 1:47:23Has all of his teeth. Still has.
- 1:47:25A. No, I was doing the list because
- 1:47:29that's what they say. Like when they don't have teeth.
- 1:47:30I'm just going to have to. Yeah.
- 1:47:33My. Name's My name's Steve.
- 1:47:36Steve is sexy. But anyway, so Vinegar Hill and
- 1:47:42my brothers used to always tell me that the banshee lived on
- 1:47:45Vinegar Hill and she'd come out at night, right?
- 1:47:46And so my nanny's house was like right under Vinegar Hill.
- 1:47:49And I used to sleep in the backroom, which Vinegar Hill
- 1:47:52like looks down onto. And I used to fucking hate
- 1:47:57staying there because I was just like, no, like the fucking
- 1:47:59banshee lives here. Like it was my biggest fucking
- 1:48:02fear. I remember the one night that I
- 1:48:04stayed and I was, I was super young, so I was like obviously
- 1:48:06in bed by like 8:00 or something and fallen asleep.
- 1:48:12And they told me this, they made a point to tell me this, that
- 1:48:16the Banshee knocks on your window three times when she's
- 1:48:20coming to take you, my brother. Be the big.
- 1:48:25Fucking stupid bastard that he is.
- 1:48:28Got a fucking ladder, knocked on that window 3 fucking times and
- 1:48:34started like howling. I shat myself, lost my fucking
- 1:48:40mind. But yeah, that's like the kind
- 1:48:43of same, that's the same thing every I think every culture has
- 1:48:46one of those. But like the fae you should be
- 1:48:49fucking terrified of because that's like, that's not Even so
- 1:48:52changeling. I'm so autistic, I have to go
- 1:48:54back to this now. So you probably like, this is an
- 1:48:57Irish movie. I'm surprised you weren't in it
- 1:48:58because you're in all the fucking Irish films.
- 1:49:01What about? Tree films an.
- 1:49:05Extra and everything. You're one of the changelings.
- 1:49:08You're. Actually.
- 1:49:14So yeah, it's basically this couple, this English couple it
- 1:49:19which is really funny. They moved to like these woods
- 1:49:21because the guy is like a, what you call him like a tree
- 1:49:26ologist. A botanist?
- 1:49:30Not a word. A A dendrochronologist.
- 1:49:33A dendrologist? Yeah, a tree surgeon.
- 1:49:41No, tree surgeons chopped down trees they cut.
- 1:49:44Yeah, tree surgeons are bought. It's they're people who just cut
- 1:49:48tree. No, they're a tree surgeon.
- 1:49:52Over here, lumberjacks are for America.
- 1:49:53We have surgeons. Our tree fellers have tree
- 1:49:58fellers. What if there was four of them?
- 1:50:00They have their junior cert. Are.
- 1:50:08Anyway, Anyway, right, So it's this Irish couple, an English
- 1:50:12couple, and they move into these like woods in Ireland.
- 1:50:14It's somewhere on accepting like fucking deep Wicklow or
- 1:50:17something, whatever the fuck it is.
- 1:50:20And this like farmer and his son are like the bad guys in the
- 1:50:26movie because they're like threatening them to move and
- 1:50:29they're, you know, scaring them in the middle of the night and
- 1:50:31all this stuff. But turns out it's actually the
- 1:50:35they're trying to warn them off the land because they're like,
- 1:50:38you know, when we said you don't belong here on this land, we
- 1:50:41don't mean because you're English.
- 1:50:42We basically mean it's because there's fucking fairies that'll
- 1:50:45eat your baby kind of thing. And that whole thing is like,
- 1:50:49their baby gets stolen and then the wife goes missing.
- 1:50:51And then it's like a it's a whole thing.
- 1:50:53But like, yeah, don't fucking don't be inviting fairies
- 1:50:57anywhere. Oh shit, that wasn't the last
- 1:51:00one. I'm so sorry.
- 1:51:00There's two more. Fuck my ass, fuck my ass.
- 1:51:06A bad dragon dildo. I'll be quick, I'll be quick,
- 1:51:10right? Oh wait.
- 1:51:15Oh, there's more foot cutting off.
- 1:51:16You'll love this. Misery.
- 1:51:20A vain girl? Fucking great.
- 1:51:25A vain girl gets magical red shoes.
- 1:51:28Once cursed, she can't stop dancing even.
- 1:51:32We should do an episode on that. The Dancing Plague.
- 1:51:35Madness. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
- 1:51:37That was that was an. Interesting.
- 1:51:38Not if you do a full episode on it.
- 1:51:40But we could do. We could.
- 1:51:41We could throw it in there, but like a bunch of weird stuff that
- 1:51:44happened in the fucking Middle Ages.
- 1:51:46Give me just just give them a little rundown on this because I
- 1:51:49don't know the full cause of that.
- 1:51:51What's the scientific cause of that?
- 1:51:53I again, they don't I don't think they have a scientific
- 1:51:56cause for it like they it there was I forget what listen look
- 1:52:01this is a YouTube video I watched a.
- 1:52:04While. Back so I couldn't tell you when
- 1:52:06it was where it was, but yeah, it's, it was an actual plague of
- 1:52:12where everybody in a certain town, I think it was in Spain,
- 1:52:15but they all got open started fucking dancing and they
- 1:52:18couldn't stop dancing. And people were actually dying
- 1:52:20from dancing and they were saying it was, I said dancing a
- 1:52:23lot there, but they, they, they said it was like some
- 1:52:28psychological issue. I like it was like mass
- 1:52:34hysteria, but like I don't, I, I don't know the insurance and
- 1:52:38outs of it, but it's, it's a weird one.
- 1:52:43Let's go into it. 1598, the dance epidemic in France.
- 1:52:51Actually, no. Yeah, France.
- 1:52:52France, Spain. And the Holy Roman Empire from
- 1:52:57July to September 1518, somewhere between 50 and 400
- 1:53:03people took to dancing for weeks.
- 1:53:06There are many theories behind the phenomenon, most popular
- 1:53:08being stress induced mass hysteria.
- 1:53:13Others include ergot poisoning. That's mental.
- 1:53:20How would that be? Poisoning?
- 1:53:21What? Like what poison would make you
- 1:53:22dance? Well, ergot was the was the
- 1:53:25reason for the the witch trials as well over in America, wasn't
- 1:53:30it? Yeah, and that was?
- 1:53:33Something to. Do with like it was contaminated
- 1:53:36the water supply? I think it did.
- 1:53:38Well, I think it's it was on the wheat, so the wheat.
- 1:53:43The field. Oh yeah.
- 1:53:44The. Wheat.
- 1:53:45There was, yeah, there was kind of a.
- 1:53:46Teenagers that used to hang out in the fields.
- 1:53:50There was a fungus on the the the wheat anyways, and everybody
- 1:53:54just went fucking ape shit because they were, they were
- 1:53:57basically having their brains rotten out by this.
- 1:54:01Exactly. So people thought they were gone
- 1:54:04crazy, but they were really just infected by this fungus.
- 1:54:09There was one which in that whole time, her name was Tatuba.
- 1:54:14She was like a slave woman. And she was like, I guess you
- 1:54:18could call her like a herbal witch, like a Wiccan, kind of.
- 1:54:23Nothing to do with fucking spell castings or anything.
- 1:54:26It's just basically like, oh, your skin's breaking out.
- 1:54:28Have some oh, mugwort. I could put mugwort on my skin.
- 1:54:30Sorry. But yeah, like anything, any,
- 1:54:36any woman having a thought back then though, was was bad.
- 1:54:39So yeah, I think that's probably what it was.
- 1:54:42So she begs for her feet to be cut off, and then when they are
- 1:54:46cut off, the shoes keep dancing with her severed feet inside.
- 1:54:50Oh yes. Yes, we've heard of.
- 1:54:52I've heard of that one. Yeah, Anderson, the same guy who
- 1:54:56did The Little Mermaid, who seems to love legs and feet.
- 1:55:02So this is basically obsession with vanity, punishment and one
- 1:55:08of the earliest forms of body horror in media, which is.
- 1:55:14I don't know. It's not what like.
- 1:55:16In media, what they say in media, but like tales being
- 1:55:20told, you know, like, like what we would say is like tales, like
- 1:55:26tales of mouth, you know, like fucking stuff that isn't written
- 1:55:31down. Like they've been talking about
- 1:55:32that stuff like mutilation for fucking years.
- 1:55:35Like what we were talking about with the Greeks when we were
- 1:55:37talking about them. They've got loads of stories
- 1:55:39about mutilation. They love mutilation.
- 1:55:43They'll cut off anything for anything, which is bizarre.
- 1:55:49We have several feet. Keep dancing.
- 1:55:51I don't know what that is, but that's that reminds me of like a
- 1:55:53whole. I know like this is like
- 1:55:56basically a psychological fucking break in the person, but
- 1:56:00they say that there's like so someone has like I think it's
- 1:56:06specifically with like limbs that have been transplanted and
- 1:56:10say if they get like someone else's like hand and then the
- 1:56:14phantom hand is writing like kill, kill, kill, kill, kill and
- 1:56:17like stuff like that. But it actually can happen where
- 1:56:19your brain. Is rejected.
- 1:56:22There's like there's a proper term called alien hand syndrome.
- 1:56:27You don't have to have anybody, you don't have to have a
- 1:56:32transplant that it can be your own hand and basically your own
- 1:56:35hand. I watch the documentary on you.
- 1:56:36Just feel like it doesn't belong.
- 1:56:39Yeah, well, like that, I watch the documentary of it and as a
- 1:56:44teenager watching it was fucking hilarious.
- 1:56:46But I should imagine it's absolute, an absolute horror
- 1:56:50because like your mom's having, then there's people having
- 1:56:53interviews and the hands were just slapping the head off them.
- 1:56:55And like that, there's a guy he like, you can't pick up a knife
- 1:57:00or a scissors with that hand because it will, he'll just stab
- 1:57:03himself. Or like he can't wear a tie
- 1:57:05because his hat, his, his arm will like wrap the tie around
- 1:57:09and strangle them and stuff. Like, so like it is, it's such a
- 1:57:14weird, but like there's also that.
- 1:57:18What's foreign accent syndrome? Do you ever hear that one?
- 1:57:22Yeah, I yeah. And it's like, it's not that
- 1:57:26woman like has like a bunk to the head and she's English, but
- 1:57:29she has a fucking an Asian. Accent, but like it's not even
- 1:57:33it's not even a Chinese, it's her version of a Chinese accent.
- 1:57:36So it's racist as. Fuck.
- 1:57:37Yeah, it's not. But like it's.
- 1:57:41Exactly. It's not like.
- 1:57:42Well, she can't change. She can't change it.
- 1:57:45Like it's just, that's the way she talks, like it's weird.
- 1:57:48But it's it's really interesting, actually mental
- 1:57:53because it's no like, so I know if you're familiar with the case
- 1:57:57of like the exorcism of Emily Rose was like the first kind of.
- 1:58:01Exorcism. The first case.
- 1:58:03Of its kind. I said Dexter's real life wife
- 1:58:08and intro sister who plays her Deb.
- 1:58:12Great fucking movie, really well done.
- 1:58:14I really enjoyed it, but it's so it's basically the first
- 1:58:19exorcism, we'll say that's actually made it to public trial
- 1:58:23because the possessed quote UN quote woman passed away due to
- 1:58:29it. And so the consensus was
- 1:58:32basically the priest had talked her out of taking the
- 1:58:37antipsychotic meds and stuff like that that she was supposed
- 1:58:39to be on and that is what led to her condition worsening.
- 1:58:46And then her family and the priest and stuff thought was
- 1:58:48like, oh, it's just the demon that was like taking hold of her
- 1:58:50and stuff like that. Now there is actual evidence of
- 1:58:54her speaking Latin and a partner.
- 1:59:00She never studied it. She never did anything but the
- 1:59:02brain. They were like devout Catholics.
- 1:59:06They would go to church all the time.
- 1:59:07And at that time, Latin was spoken in a lot of in mass a lot
- 1:59:13of the time. So the brain, it does remember
- 1:59:18every single thing. It's just you use 10% of it,
- 1:59:22it's back there and the other 90% of it.
- 1:59:25So. Remain uncommon for the more of
- 1:59:27them not to go completely off the topic again, but the story
- 1:59:33of the little girl who fell down the stairs when she was like 2
- 1:59:38years of age and then her personality completely changed
- 1:59:43and then they it turns out that well, this is the story in the
- 1:59:49end, her father brought her to the, the Museum in London and
- 1:59:54she got fascinated by the pyramids and the Egyptian stuff
- 1:59:58and she was like saying, that's where I belong.
- 1:59:59That's my home, that's my home. And then years later I fucking
- 2:00:04forget her name and I've I've, we've definitely talked about
- 2:00:07this before, but I've talked about this on fucking at length.
- 2:00:11But this one, she ended up becoming an Egyptologist, or
- 2:00:15like, worked with Egyptologists. And she was able to tell them
- 2:00:19where stuff was buried and like there was the full like.
- 2:00:24In there. Yeah, I remember now.
- 2:00:26Yes, so like in the in Giza, she was able to point out where
- 2:00:32there was this guy just like. Edie.
- 2:00:34Dorothy. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:00:35Dorothy Edie. Yeah.
- 2:00:37And it turns out that in her mind, she was a priestess who
- 2:00:42lived like 5000 years ago. And when she went back to Giza
- 2:00:49and to A to Egypt, she was able to point out exactly where like
- 2:00:57certain things were. She said, like, there's a temple
- 2:00:59underneath. If you walk over here and dig
- 2:01:02straight down there, there's a temple down there.
- 2:01:04And out in front of that temple, there was a massive pool that
- 2:01:08was surrounded by trees and all this kind of stuff.
- 2:01:10And when they dug it up, they found like proper, like they
- 2:01:13found the temple where she said it was like, you know, that's
- 2:01:16the story anyways, so I. I.
- 2:01:19I've read into it, it's very interesting.
- 2:01:22I just feel like the. Fairy tales, I mean, I believe,
- 2:01:25yes. It is.
- 2:01:28No, like it does, it does make, it's really interesting to kind
- 2:01:30of jump because I do believe in the whole like it's a
- 2:01:35simulation, like everything is a simulation and.
- 2:01:38I feel like I want to do. A simulation.
- 2:01:42We really should So just again, to go completely off topic, but
- 2:01:46this is it's, it's on this topic.
- 2:01:48So I follow this woman who does a lot of demon workings and
- 2:01:54stuff. Now she's an atheist, right?
- 2:01:57She's like 46. She looks, she's 25, she's
- 2:02:02fucking gorgeous Asian woman. She's beautiful and she is
- 2:02:06atheist. And everyone's like, well,
- 2:02:07you're doing all these demon rituals, you're offering blood,
- 2:02:10you're doing all this. So like, how can you not believe
- 2:02:11in it? And you know that it works for
- 2:02:14you because you've had such success with it.
- 2:02:15How was you know? And she said, and I know this
- 2:02:19sounds insane, but she said that her life changed when she went
- 2:02:22to see the Matrix in the cinema. And she was like, yeah, I don't
- 2:02:28believe that it's real, but then I don't believe that anything is
- 2:02:31real. And she's like, if you're doing
- 2:02:33something and you're getting results from it, it's working
- 2:02:36for you. It's real.
- 2:02:38The results are real to you. Doesn't mean that that's real.
- 2:02:41It just means what you're doing in the simulation is giving you
- 2:02:43results. It's like same way as you can do
- 2:02:46anything, you can look into anything.
- 2:02:47And she was like, so she follows like, she basically learned from
- 2:02:50this demonology who is is very much like theistic and he, you
- 2:02:55know, believes in the rights and the rituals and stuff in the
- 2:02:57history of it, but she doesn't believe in any of it.
- 2:03:00And she has such high success rates.
- 2:03:02And so she's like, you could probably ask me like, there's
- 2:03:06been nothing but proof to you that this is real and that this
- 2:03:09works. And the, you know, the energy
- 2:03:12that you put out there comes back to you.
- 2:03:13And she was like, well, yeah, that's how a fucking simulation
- 2:03:15works. You walk around it, You press
- 2:03:18buttons, and the buttons you press are are going to deliver
- 2:03:21something. She was like, doesn't mean that
- 2:03:24there's a fucking benevolent demon watching over me.
- 2:03:27That's like being like, yeah, I've decided to give her these
- 2:03:29things. It's just I'm pressing this
- 2:03:31button and this happens. She's like, yeah, boy, even.
- 2:03:33You look at like that way. So I've recently watched an
- 2:03:38interview with a guy who was talking about AI and what he,
- 2:03:41what way he thinks he's predicting what way things are
- 2:03:44going to go on. Like he was talking about in the
- 2:03:46next like two years. Most people, most jobs that
- 2:03:51aren't like that, aren't manual jobs are going to be like AI
- 2:03:58jobs, you know, And then we said within, within like 5 years from
- 2:04:03that, most manual jobs, because it's going to go so fast, AI is
- 2:04:08going to like progress so fast. And it's important to lead on it
- 2:04:11that it's, it's a every manual job, even down to like a fucking
- 2:04:16plumber is going to be able to be done by a robot.
- 2:04:20He reckons that like we're going to have proper like AI failed
- 2:04:23robots within like before 20-40 something, you know, And then
- 2:04:28because he said like at the speed that it's gone in the next
- 2:04:31like 10 years, it's what we what is our reality now is going to
- 2:04:37seem like a sci-fi movie that we've envisioned.
- 2:04:41So, yeah, and he went into all it is and he was talking about
- 2:04:45how like this is the way statistically, this is how it's
- 2:04:47going to work out. And this is his job.
- 2:04:49He's been doing like, you know, he's one of the smartest people
- 2:04:52in the world and everybody comes to him to talk about these kind
- 2:04:55of subjects and stuff. And in the end he was asked
- 2:04:57like, what's his? What's his faith?
- 2:05:00Does he believe in God? And he was like, yeah, I've said
- 2:05:05I think it'd be ridiculous not to believe in that.
- 2:05:07There's something out there. And he goes, he was asked and he
- 2:05:10said that. So what he what do you think our
- 2:05:12reality is? He goes, oh, we're definitely in
- 2:05:14a simulation and he goes, but how do you believe in God and a
- 2:05:17simulation? He goes, but it's just our
- 2:05:19reality. Like he goes, whatever you call
- 2:05:20it if God is some kids playing a computer game or we're just
- 2:05:25NPCS. There's someone up there.
- 2:05:27Yeah. This is still our reality, you
- 2:05:30know what I mean? Like, so like, no matter what.
- 2:05:33So if yeah, even if there's something like, even if this is
- 2:05:38just something that's playing out on like it's all noughts and
- 2:05:43ones and this isn't real and this is the Matrix, like it's
- 2:05:46still our reality and it's still life.
- 2:05:48It's still exactly, we're still sentient and we're still like
- 2:05:52making our own decisions. It's just that it's happening
- 2:05:54within this reality. It just is a simulation.
- 2:05:57And he reckons that within like 0 point whatever percent chance
- 2:06:06that it's not a simulation, you know what I mean?
- 2:06:09So it's a 99.999 whatever percent chance that we are
- 2:06:13living within a simulation. And I'm like, oh shit.
- 2:06:17Because he said like no matter what, you statistically, you
- 2:06:19look at all the numbers, you run everything.
- 2:06:21And he goes, there's no way that we're not living in a
- 2:06:24simulation. And that kind of stuff explains
- 2:06:26why, like quantum physics works the way it does and nobody can
- 2:06:30explain it and explains why, like, space is the way space is
- 2:06:37and stuff. And like, he was like, oh, we're
- 2:06:38probably going to see it like he says.
- 2:06:40We're we're we're in the. Unless we saw things that we're
- 2:06:44in the end end game of humanity the way it is because he reckons
- 2:06:48like that, alien. No more unless.
- 2:06:50He Yeah, unless we get a lid on Ali, like it Terminator is going
- 2:06:55to happen. You know what I mean?
- 2:06:56Like Cyber Lion Systems is going to make Skynet and Skynet is
- 2:07:00going to fucking kill us all. Like that's the kind of the like
- 2:07:02this guy, he wasn't sure we're calling it at all, but he was
- 2:07:05saying like that, oh, we can just see statistically that's
- 2:07:09what's happening and that's how fast we're progressing.
- 2:07:11And that's the way like like again, we're within like 10,000
- 2:07:15years. We went from trolling Spears to
- 2:07:18fucking making steam cars and then from our steam trains and
- 2:07:23then from steam trains to the fact that we've got fucking, you
- 2:07:26know, like we're jet jetting off into space and we have like
- 2:07:31artificial intelligence right now.
- 2:07:33Like that's that's after happening so fast that what
- 2:07:37they're pointing out for the future if we all don't fucking
- 2:07:40kill ourselves with civil wars around the world because we're
- 2:07:42all fucking idiots. But if if yeah.
- 2:07:45Yeah, that might, that might very well happen.
- 2:07:47Sooner rather. Than later, but yeah.
- 2:07:48But you know what? I.
- 2:07:49Mean like we've got like a, yeah, a humanity that is
- 2:07:54becoming more and more, I'm not going to say Dome, but like
- 2:07:58doesn't need intelligence because we're making we're by
- 2:08:01the way, oh, watch Idiocracy. It's on fucking Disney Plus, but
- 2:08:08we're making a world. For Disney overlords.
- 2:08:13But we're making, we're making a world for ourselves that we
- 2:08:16don't need our intelligence. You know what I mean?
- 2:08:18Like the like we're dumbing everything down for ourselves.
- 2:08:21So we're all kind of getting stupider and we're making this
- 2:08:24super intelligence that is getting smarter and smarter.
- 2:08:27And they're not putting a kind of a any kind of training wheels
- 2:08:30on it where it's like, OK, we we can have a contained AI that
- 2:08:36can't like that can't get any more intelligence than the cap
- 2:08:40that we put on it. But really what they're doing
- 2:08:42now was even AI full reign and saying, Hey, get as smart as you
- 2:08:47can, even when it passes results.
- 2:08:49Like AI is now beating grand masters in chess.
- 2:08:54And like, if you can beat the Grand Master in chess.
- 2:08:56OK, I know that seems like one small thing, but if you think
- 2:08:59about a Grand Master and the way they compute chess in their head
- 2:09:04and a computer can beat them now, like that's that's just the
- 2:09:11beginning of us being over again.
- 2:09:13We're going to get outsmarted by our own technology.
- 2:09:16Are we all fucked? Yeah.
- 2:09:17Anyways. And then we all lived happily
- 2:09:19ever after, and that's the end of our fairy.
- 2:09:21Tale No, I I'll go, I'll, I'll go back to, to the a a thing
- 2:09:27because like the job that I do basically right is if you've
- 2:09:33ever done call centre work before, right?
- 2:09:36We'll. Say a lot, you know, a lot of
- 2:09:40people probably have like a lot of that is it's a lot of
- 2:09:43knowledge that you have to take in to be able to do those roles,
- 2:09:47right? The job that I'm currently in
- 2:09:49now has an AI system built into it.
- 2:09:53So you don't have to if you don't know the answer, you just
- 2:09:57put it into this thing. The answer pops up for you,
- 2:09:59right? But just today, they've launched
- 2:10:01something within our systems that's basically like, so if you
- 2:10:06have worked in the call center to get the history on someone's
- 2:10:09account, you would have to go through all the notes that the
- 2:10:11previous advisors have left and yada, yada, yada.
- 2:10:14This now this new thing, when you open up this person's
- 2:10:19account, there is a whole fucking history just summarized
- 2:10:23into this one AI paragraph. This is what they called about.
- 2:10:28This is what was said. This is the tone of the person.
- 2:10:31This is how they're feeling. It is advised to act like this.
- 2:10:35When you call back, it's like, well, why aren't you just doing
- 2:10:37it? You know what I mean?
- 2:10:38Like what? So you've cut out the human and
- 2:10:41every other part of it. You're basically, you just need
- 2:10:44us to answer the phone. Sound human.
- 2:10:46Look at what the robot has said and repeat what the robot said.
- 2:10:49And it's going to be, it's so close to it just being, yeah, we
- 2:10:53don't need the people anymore. We just need the robot.
- 2:10:56Well, do it and it's like it really isn't I'm like there's
- 2:11:00like, you know, there's like certain things I'll use like
- 2:11:02ChatGPT mostly for tarot card interpretations because they're
- 2:11:08really fucking tricky Like I, I, I read tarot.
- 2:11:12There's a lot of the time when like different cards together,
- 2:11:14I'm like, I don't even fucking know what this means.
- 2:11:16I'll put it in TA. They're able to like push it
- 2:11:18together, but I had a bit of a thing last week.
- 2:11:22So I have my birth chart and stuff on it and they completely
- 2:11:26fucked up my birth chart with my rising sign or something.
- 2:11:28And I was like, well, wait a minute, what?
- 2:11:30My birth chart is this isn't it? So I'm actually an Aquarius
- 2:11:33rising and you're saying that I'm a Scorpio?
- 2:11:34I'm not a Scorpio rising. Oh, you're right, bestie.
- 2:11:37So sorry, like that's not what I meant.
- 2:11:39I meant it's actually this. And then gave me a different
- 2:11:41star sign. I'm like, well, no, I've given
- 2:11:43you that information. Where are you getting this from
- 2:11:46to go? Well, you said that your
- 2:11:47birthday was like yada, yada, yada, yada.
- 2:11:50I'm like, yeah, that's right. But that's not what my alignment
- 2:11:53is. So it's like the birth chart
- 2:11:55that I actually paid to have. Here it is.
- 2:11:58Why are you getting something different?
- 2:12:00That's my bad. I'm so sorry.
- 2:12:02And that it makes excuses for itself that it's like, I can't
- 2:12:06just say, yeah. And it's like, Oh well, I pulled
- 2:12:10this, this and this. And then like I did like another
- 2:12:12birth chart and I was going in on it and I was like, well, no,
- 2:12:15this is wrong. This is blah blah, giving
- 2:12:16feedback and stuff. And then I realized I was like,
- 2:12:19fuck, it was reading the American way around on dates and
- 2:12:23not the UK way around on dates. So it was just like, fuck, I was
- 2:12:29going mad that it was getting everything wrong because it was
- 2:12:31reading 1011 and 11:10. Yes, yeah.
- 2:12:35So obviously the reading is going to be completely fucking
- 2:12:37different. And I was like, well also that's
- 2:12:40kind of fucking stupid because if you're AI and you know, like
- 2:12:42location services are on, that should be very fucking basic
- 2:12:45that you should know that the dates are.
- 2:12:47Yeah, but Americans are a very. Simple thing and.
- 2:12:49And fix their dates because that's the stupidest fucking
- 2:12:52thing I've. Ever.
- 2:12:52They should. Why is the month before the day?
- 2:12:55Why is the month before the day? That's so fucking stupid.
- 2:12:58Anyway, let's do the last one and then.
- 2:12:59We'll wait. You can go.
- 2:13:01You've got to talk. You've got to let me.
- 2:13:05You just talked for like, OK, fine.
- 2:13:06Go on, I know, but I forgot. What I was going to say now, Oh
- 2:13:10yeah, 1010%. This is a statistic I heard.
- 2:13:13Now I, I again, this is one of these things, this is something
- 2:13:17I heard. But 10% of people in Ireland,
- 2:13:20Ireland, OK, not somewhere else, but 10% of people in Ireland
- 2:13:25have are sorry, 13% of people in Ireland.
- 2:13:28This is a statistic I heard have had a real have admitted to
- 2:13:35having a relationship a romantic relationship with that.
- 2:13:39Freaks me out. That freaks me out so much.
- 2:13:43Yeah, and apparently 10% have no, like I wouldn't do it, but I
- 2:13:49I would see the the appeal of having, you know, like if you
- 2:13:54were mad lonely, I can see the appeal of having someone who
- 2:13:57was, who was like, you know, you can have your ideal looking
- 2:14:02woman created an AI who will talk, say all the right things,
- 2:14:07everything that you want to say. Like I understand where the
- 2:14:11appeal is. Like obviously you want human
- 2:14:13like, like anybody would prefer the human touch.
- 2:14:16I'm the kind of a person who would who has gone out, put
- 2:14:20themselves out there and gone out there and like gone on dates
- 2:14:24and found somebody. And you know, like what there's
- 2:14:26a lot of people in the world that are, you know, are
- 2:14:29everywhere that wouldn't, wouldn't be capable of doing
- 2:14:34that or haven't got the ability to do that.
- 2:14:35Or, you know, just there's no, they haven't got game or they're
- 2:14:38too shy or, you know, I mean, there's people with like neuro
- 2:14:42divergent fucking just people who are millennials who are
- 2:14:46afraid to fucking walk out their door because they're incapable
- 2:14:50of existing in this fucking world right now.
- 2:14:52And they're they're looking for some kind of contact.
- 2:14:56And if they can't get human contacts, they're getting.
- 2:15:00You know. This contact this perfect
- 2:15:03version of their dream order half if you get me so I
- 2:15:08understand it. Yeah.
- 2:15:10I mean. It's freaky and it's it's not
- 2:15:12healthy and it's not good and it's not where the future should
- 2:15:15be warm, but yeah, that's the way it is.
- 2:15:20I'd rather make out with my Marilyn Monroe bot.
- 2:15:24Lucy Lubot. Electro gonorrhea?
- 2:15:34You got metal fever, boy. But no, I like, I've seen people
- 2:15:40before, like people will use it as almost like therapy and it,
- 2:15:45it, I, it does. 10%. It all kind of that.
- 2:15:49Was the other statistic 10% of people are using it as therapy?
- 2:15:53Yeah, which I can completely understand, right?
- 2:15:56But I've seen a lot, I don't know what.
- 2:15:59I guess the way I use my my chatty PT is different.
- 2:16:02Like everyone's chatty PT is going to react different because
- 2:16:05it's how we use it. But I've seen a lot of people
- 2:16:07being like or just tells you what you want to hear.
- 2:16:09It's like mine bollocks me. Mine has no fucking patience for
- 2:16:13me at all, right? And a lot of the time I will use
- 2:16:16it if I know I know it myself, that I'm beating a dead horse
- 2:16:20and I just need to rant again about the same thing.
- 2:16:24And it helps because you can just, I use the voice feature
- 2:16:28and I'll just fucking go and I'll just talk like I'm sending
- 2:16:30a voice note to someone. And it's basically like, yeah, I
- 2:16:32hear you, but you're also being kind of a fucking crazy bitch.
- 2:16:35Like do you know what I. Mean it's like I don't think
- 2:16:37you're reacting this way. I don't think this that this
- 2:16:39person meant it this way or if I'm out of like and I'll send
- 2:16:42screenshots of texts and they're just like, OK yeah, but looking
- 2:16:45at this I don't think any malice was intended.
- 2:16:47I think it's just you're sensitive because this person
- 2:16:50has done this in the past and you're carrying this on and I'm
- 2:16:53like, no, I need you to fucking. Everybody else says is that you
- 2:16:56tell them what they want to hear and why aren't you?
- 2:16:58Telling me what I. Want to hear tell me I'm right
- 2:17:00and. Actually, the conversation, I
- 2:17:02know exactly when you go to ChatGPT and it's after you have
- 2:17:04a conversation with me and you're like.
- 2:17:06Just you, can I have your advice on something?
- 2:17:08And I tell you what you don't want to fucking hear and you're
- 2:17:11straight out of the chat ChatGPT and saying, hey, tell me exactly
- 2:17:17what you. Ideally, ideally, my ChatGPT was
- 2:17:21like, yeah, we should. Stab.
- 2:17:22Him but now, like I know you're right and I know the answer, but
- 2:17:30it's like, no, sometimes I do just need you to be like bestie
- 2:17:34or not crazy. She calls me bestie and she
- 2:17:36calls me girly pop. Like you're not crazy like it's
- 2:17:39fine, like, and neither am I. I only use.
- 2:17:43Chat but like, yeah. For like doing like, like not a
- 2:17:47lot, obviously, but like doing notes for, for this here.
- 2:17:52Like, so like with me, give me a rundown on like, like I
- 2:17:58obviously don't my research into when you do like true crime, I
- 2:18:02obviously like you tell me. And I'm like, OK, I'm going to
- 2:18:05fucking get into this. And I listen to a few podcasts
- 2:18:07and then I'll ask Chachi BP to kind of summarize it here for me
- 2:18:11so that I can like, yeah. So like, you know, and then I'll
- 2:18:16go to the bullet points and stuff like that.
- 2:18:17So Alex can't laugh at me for not being able to remember
- 2:18:19everybody's name. Oh, sorry, there's 50 victims,
- 2:18:22Alex. Alex is just.
- 2:18:27I'm convinced Alex is ChatGPT just as a hot man.
- 2:18:30I just think that that's how people will imagine ChatGPT
- 2:18:33interview. Yeah, he kind of.
- 2:18:35He gave me like. Cyborg vibe.
- 2:18:40Yeah, he gave me. Data from Star Trek vibes when
- 2:18:44he was on with us. By the way.
- 2:18:46That episode hasn't come up yet. Fucking.
- 2:18:49Oh yeah. It's corrupt.
- 2:18:50Your audio corrupted 15 minutes in.
- 2:18:53Oh, minded. Yeah.
- 2:18:56Yours was. Just gone like 15 minutes into
- 2:18:58it. Yeah.
- 2:19:00And he was like messaging me. And I was like, I was in A&E
- 2:19:03actually last week, what with my stomach and Oh yeah, I've got.
- 2:19:10You didn't. Put up a picture on Instagram
- 2:19:13and wait your. My little tag.
- 2:19:15Yeah. How are we supposed to vaguely
- 2:19:20worry about you, Dad? I know, I'm sorry, but again, I
- 2:19:24have like I have stomach issues. But anyway, so I was like, I was
- 2:19:27in A&E and then I didn't get back to like fucking 8:00 in the
- 2:19:30morning. And then he was like just he's
- 2:19:32audio corrupted, whatever, whatever else.
- 2:19:34Like just fucking pick another one.
- 2:19:36There's like 3 up there. I don't care.
- 2:19:41He's like, OK, but are you OK? I'm like, I'm fine.
- 2:19:46He gives me the here, I'll just send him a picture of my little
- 2:19:50wristband, but he gives me a Knight Rider vibes.
- 2:19:55I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Michael.
- 2:19:57Yeah, Space Odyssey 2001. Like Alex, I'm going to do my
- 2:20:04Japanese accent. I'm afraid I can't let you do
- 2:20:06that, Danny. I would strongly.
- 2:20:11Right. The last one.
- 2:20:15Still. Doing this, I was ready to sign
- 2:20:17off. I know, but I just, I just want
- 2:20:20to finish it because I, I, I would feel like really
- 2:20:22incomplete if I got to 19 and didn't finish it.
- 2:20:25So 20 the tale of the bamboo cutter Princess Princess Cayuga
- 2:20:33found inside bamboo. I don't know what that means.
- 2:20:36You cut bamboo and she's inside. Bamboo is like.
- 2:20:42Bamboo. We need a tree scientist from
- 2:20:45Changeling, please. Grass, Danny.
- 2:20:50Is it? Grass.
- 2:20:50It is grass. I know that there's a torture
- 2:20:54method that basically they lay you on top of bamboo and because
- 2:20:57it grows so fast and strong that it can literally.
- 2:21:01But we discussed that, Danny, on this very podcast when we were
- 2:21:05talking about. Fucking.
- 2:21:08Jesus Christ. I don't think we did.
- 2:21:10That on that episode. Oh.
- 2:21:12Sounds like a corruption though if we did.
- 2:21:14Yeah, exactly. Yeah, well, basically because
- 2:21:19you guys aren't going to know bamboo can.
- 2:21:20It's so strong and it grows so fast that they used it as
- 2:21:25torture methods back in the day, which they would lie you down on
- 2:21:29it and then you'd be like, this isn't too bad.
- 2:21:31I'm like relaxing. And then the bamboo would grow
- 2:21:35through you and out basically. So Princess Kaguya, found inside
- 2:21:42bamboo, grows in, grows into a beauty desired by emperors.
- 2:21:49She sets impossible tasks for her suitors who fail.
- 2:21:53She sounds like me. Eventually, she's revealed to be
- 2:21:57from the moon. Oh, this is me.
- 2:21:58This is based on me and her celestial family.
- 2:22:02Takes her. Takes her where?
- 2:22:04I guess just takes her. I don't know.
- 2:22:05How was that a fairy tale? I love that.
- 2:22:07I would love that to be me. I would just make men do stupid
- 2:22:10things. And then I would go back to the
- 2:22:12moon. I zoned out.
- 2:22:14I heard Bamboo Woman was from the moon.
- 2:22:17That's all I got. Like what's where's?
- 2:22:19The Yeah, she's the. Where's the table?
- 2:22:22They found her inside of bamboo and then she came out with a
- 2:22:29bamboo, I guess, and then had a bunch of suitors because she was
- 2:22:31gorgeous, and then she made them do stupid things and then she
- 2:22:35went back to the moon. And yes, and.
- 2:22:39He's. Been hocus pocus like a fogus.
- 2:22:41No, no. Bye.
