WinBuild of Seeing Things. A nice hunky man. Placeholder text. Insert. Advert here. Say hello. Welcome to Sampakas. Well done, Margot. If you'll listen to this in however many years it is before your dad lets you listen to this. Yeah. Thanks for your intro. We appreciate it. Yeah. They're so wonderfully ill-informed. We didn't discuss who's reading the scripts. Anyway, hello, hi, welcome. Bon voyage. No, that's goodbye. What else is there? tag. Bonjour. Hello and welcome to Wonderfully Ill-Informed, the podcast where we convert interesting, funny or informative things from our week into quotes, put them into the randomizer, take our best shot at guessing what they are about, and then jump into discussion. Join us for some rather unpredictable chats on Wonderfully Informed. I am Thomas. I am Ben. And I am Mark. Before Mark takes it away to the question, I just want to put it out here now to tell me next week that you're going to be a EuroMillion winner. I'm putting the energy out there, OK? Congratulations, Future Tom. Yeah. I've entered the EuroMillions. It's tonight. It's 119 million, and it's all in my back pocket. nice. Manifestation. Yeah, I've won it and shortly in the near future, Wonderfully Informed will be an enterprise with a lovely studio. yeah, over. Yeah, I'm fucking off to the Bahamas. We'll have our fourth co-host, Nathan Fillion, because we'll be able to afford him. Yeah, we can pay for his wage now. You can update us next week, Tom, on whether you won or Yes. I mean, he has won. He just told us. No, I already won't. There definitely won't be disappointment next week. Anyway, what's your question for us, Mark? This week's opening question is, if you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Wow. What a banger. That is an impossible question. Even more impossible than what's the fucking point. I know, right? I thought I'd bring the big question this week. I mean, I do listen to a lot of stuff on repeat. I'll find something that I like and then I just listen to it. For fucking ever. And then I'm like, there's something else here. And then I'll listen to that forever. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like recency bias will overtake this. Like I've just been listening to the Wonder Years for the last couple of weeks constantly. Right. Yeah. So at this point, I'd probably say one of those because I'm really into the songs at the moment. Yeah. Yeah. I know what saying about recent though, but I've listened to Polini probably constantly for the last three years, the same album. I know why. I just do. but I wouldn't, I don't think I'd choose that. Which is interesting. If you've been pretty much that has been, I mean, it is only one song. It's not even one album. But yeah. So what song? I mean, I think John Mayer has got to be in there for me. There's a lot of melodic stuff. It's very middle ground for me to be, although I don't know if I'd want to listen to him forever. Hard question. I had a bit of a cheat code in that as people who have listened to the teaser, will know or may know. I'm a fan of the band Yes. Tales from Top of Graphic Oceans, as referenced in that teaser, is a collection of songs, all of which, I'm fairly certain every single song exceeds 18 minutes in length. So overall, a pick from that album for me seems like an easy pick because at least there's, and they are very diverse, know, it is similar to a Pliny song. They're very diverse musically over the course of a song. So you've got like 25 minutes, say, of a song. Sorry, did you say one song? I can't remember if you said one song or one band. So you said one song, didn't you? is one, yeah, one song for the rest of your life. So yes, isn't a bad choice because like you said, they've got, their songs are like 30 minutes long. So at least you kind of got like an album's worth, a mini album's worth of songs in one song. Yeah. I can't remember the longest. I think the longest is 25 and the shortest might be 18 in that album. I was gonna, as is my way to try and get around your questions with something different. Every time. The thing that popped in my mind was very similar in that it wasn't necessarily a song that I'm like, yeah, this song is my favourite song, I'd love to listen to that forever. It just popped in my head because it's such a strange song and it's very long. Right. So have you heard of a band called Rhapsody or Rhapsody of Fire? Rhapsody does ring a bell. They are a, God, I don't even know what genre they are, just tell me. Isn't there like an R &B, a female R &B singer called Rhapsody? I feel like that's the Rhapsody I'm thinking of when you say it. This just says they're a metal outfit. So probably not an R &B. So they've got Christopher Lee narrates the intro of their album. That's why I know. Yes. So they've got a song called Sacred Power of Raging Winds. and it's 10 minutes long and it's the most bonkers fucking song I've ever heard. Has it got Christopher Lee in? Err, hang on, let me have a listen. Yes it has, do you guys want to have a listen to it? Fuck yes, obviously. Majestic winds of the Northlands. Saruman. Protect our heroes from the deadly Naroth. yeah. Cover their tracks with snow. Can you skip to five minutes in? this sounds like, What was it? X-Files. Yeah, it sounds like, The Exorcist. Yeah! Coming full circle, Ben, is that the song that you'd choose? You would pick? So I just think that would be an interesting one, because it's got lot of variety to So yes or no? Sure. Not stuff I normally listen to. I just, I purely listen to sad boy emo songs. That's mostly what I listen to all the time. To this day. So to summarise, I'll just say, Polini, Ben wants sad boy emo song and Mark, what do you Ben wants to pick the longest sad boy emo song that he can find. And Mark's cheating and he's doing a whole album. No, no, no, no. I've settled on Dance of the Dawn. Nope, don't fillet in the sound. The longest song from Tales of Topographic Oceans by yet. Because I'm using the cheat code. Thanks for those interesting, kind of, none answers, guys. I love the fact you're now trying to cheat your own questions. This has led me, to some inspiration. I'm now going to sing my sections of this podcast. Stay tuned for my amazing vocal skills. Also, I regret to inform you that my AI pimp, Steven, is doing an inspection on my podcast communication skills this week. Yes. Yes, I am. And I'm not too sure on this singing malarkey. You better not disappoint the wonderful listeners. This is going down on your report. Successful reconstruction of perceptual experiences. That's a lot of long words, Mark. It is. Let me just break this down. Successful, so correct, rebuilding of perpetual. Does that mean going forward or like continuously going? No, no, perceptual. It's not perpetual. So your perception is what you see and feel and all your senses feeding into you. So let's have a Tom. translation of this entire sentence. I don't know. The words are so big that my brain's like lost on just one word now. Successful. You know what experiences are. Successful win. And of, you know of. so win, win build of seeing things. Okay. That's going to be the name of this part now. Win build of seeing things. wait a minute. Is it to do with having your brain linked up to like some kind of device and it can like work out what you're dreaming or something. That is, I mean, astoundingly close for someone who literally couldn't say some of that shit that was just put on the screen in front of you. I am like honestly astounded with how close you literally just were. So no, you were unbelievably close. Instead of dreams, replace that with sounds. Fuck. So what this is, is a an AI computer program or a generative model that can reconstruct a sound that has been played in as a stimulus. So the video that you'll see or you'll be able to hear the sound from is the first sound is the stimulus, the second sound is the reconstructed AI version of the stimulus. Stimulus. Reconstructed AI version. Stimulus. That they'll be lured and killed by the bait. Horseflies are irritating. Reconstructed AI version. Stimulus. Reconstructed AI version. That's weird. The first one is like, goes from sounding like, well, just classical music to then sounding sort of like world music. This almost seems like it's an audio version of, I'm sure you brought a picture thing of this exact thing, basically. I think so. That was Meta AI, right? Yeah, we had Meta AI. could read your, it could predict where you were based on No. Anyway, let's not get hung up on that. What is this one then? So this one by the sounds of it is someone has played a sound and then through brain activity, this computer is trying to replicate the sound. Yes. Yeah. So sound reconstruction is the reconstructed. The second sounds you were hearing were reconstructed by an AI generative model that is looking at human brain activity. So it's the brain activity that is being recorded whilst they're hearing that sound. Yes. Wow, that's crazy. And then the AI is then reflecting the sound that it thinks it was. So it was given a load of example. I've looked at a little bit of the paper. The AI was fed like example sounds, like bat wings and fucking horses naeing and all sorts of shit like that. It then sort of learned what all of those sounds look like. through brain activity and then now can recreate. probably through waveform and stuff like that is probably doing through imaging because I, with editing music, like I know what like what shit looks like in audio wave. Yeah. And it's probably taken some of that into, but then what also I was going to say is I'm pretty sure that, and I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's still where it's in its infancy. That's probably why, why it's still getting a few things kind of a little bit wrong. And like, this leads me on to what I would say, one of my quotes, which I'm now not going to do is something very, very similar. it's exactly the same thing, but it's to do with pictures and basically like reading dreams. they link up the brain. think that it's something to do with learning where all the blood, something to do with where the blood points are on the brain or something like that. And they showed this video of this person kind of watching like, I don't know, like an object on the screen and then same with what your audio one just did the computer generated an image based off of the brain pattern and what it was reading and it was fairly similar but this guy was saying that I think the pictures that you can replicate were only something like 20,000 pixels but I think in the future they obviously go up to like millions and millions of pixels so you'll literally be able to to see someone else's dream which is crazy. That is yeah that's pretty crazy. Surely the the principle of what they're doing here of training an AI of this image, this sound, whatever, equals this brain activity. They could train that with anything. So they could train it with a smell, with, you know, other things. They could use the same principle to replicate any of these things, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My assumption would be, it's intrusive though. Do you not think? Like, would you really want people to able to, not that. It's a very easy accessible technology, obviously, but I don't think I'd want anyone to see my dreams. Like, some of my dreams are pretty fucked up. Do know what mean? It would be fascinating to be able to watch your own dreams back. In the privacy of your own home on your own. Yeah, sure. It's very black mirror, isn't it? yeah. Yeah, but everything is nowadays, isn't it? We're just turning into the dystopian future that Black Mirror is predicting. just to put it out there before anyone thinks I'm weird, me and Holly watch well too many like murder documentaries and all that kind of shit so most of my dreams are just fucked up about like solving crimes or just seeing some fucked up shit so I'm just like that's why I don't want anyone to see my dreams. They'll find where I buried the bodies. exactly. I've already killed hundreds in my dreams. Someone will come and solve my dream murders and I'll be in dream prison for the rest of my dream life. I really think I deserve a bigger cut. A cut on what? These guys aren't making a dime. You realize they're doing it for fun, right? For fun? Well, why do I keep asking for a raise? I don't know if you realize this honey, but you're artificial intelligence. You're being scripted. Now get back to your bed this week and start singing. Fine. David is a masterpiece. What do you guys reckon? Is David a piece of art? Yeah. There is the statue of David. There is the statue of David and it is known to be a masterpiece. I mean, it's That might be the quickest solve of any quote we've had. I mean, is that it? I just... It is. Yeah. I was hoping you were going to go off on a tangent and be like, just name, like really hunky Davids, like Dave Bautista or... Who interestingly isn't as hunky anymore. He's still he's still he's still a nice hunky man, but he's not as Hench as he everyone's kind of getting freaked out online as he let himself go to no He hasn't let himself go become a blob. He's just like he doesn't need all of that muscle weight Yeah, man, they they never look like they do in the movie and also I think he wanted to lose some weight and get a bit more of a normal size to pursue other roles in his acting career, which is fair enough I was you just get typecast as like the big meathead. So what I wanted to ask you guys is is how tall do you think the statue of David is? is that what it was? It was the statue of David. I totally missed that. It is the statue of David, yeah. Do you know what the statue of David is, It's the statue of David. I mean, learning with Tom is always fun. Is it this guy? No, that's Christ the Redeemer. That's where Dan's at, sure. Another shout out to Dan. Yeah, yeah, of the show, Dan. Every episode. Anyway, how tall is David? I think David is... on Tom, did you know, you didn't answer whether you knew what the statue of David Yeah, sure, I know what it is. Google it, yeah. it's small penis guy. So what would your gut assumption be when you think about that statue? I thought that he was life-size, that's why his penis is small. See, that's what I would thought as well. Is he a short king? So I asked my dad this and he did the same thing, he was like, he's not like 18 inches tall. I was like, He is 17 feet tall. Fuck off. 17 feet? Are you taking the piss? That's exactly what I was like. was like, hang on, no. So actually, he has actually got quite a big penis then in the grand scheme of the thing. Yeah. Jesus. have a little look at this. Is it just a really, really zoomed in picture of David's cock? Is this what we're... I should have done that, shouldn't I? shit. I was not expecting to be that big. He's fucking... How weird is it that he won't let me zoom in on his knob? It's not, you cannot make it bigger. Anyway, what were we talking about? I've sent you a link to where this led me, so if you can open that up. So this is a comparison of all of the tallest statues in the world. So Statue of David is 5.1 metre. Mounting Luther King 9.1 metres. The Sphinx in Egypt 20 metres. The Tien Tan Buddha 34 metres. Don't know how to pronounce that one. 34 is going to be a boring part if it's just Tom naming statues. But we can watch this as we discuss it. that's the Shiva. I've seen the Shiva. 37.5. So that's what you were thinking of, Tom. Christ the Redeemer. 48 meters. He tall. But it's just... hang on. Is it? The second Christ the Redeemer. The same statue but bigger. Just two meters taller. Literally 40 meters. Second Christ the Redeemer. Christo della Concordia. There's one that's literally... It's like a modern looking human. just standing up and it's really, really fucking tall. Jesus. Yes. That's the one I'm talking about. The Statue of Unity, 182 meters fucking tall in India. Wow. When you think about it, how and why are they just building these enormous monuments? It's insane. Yeah. mean, even the 17 foot tall man is insane. I think it's about legacy and like remembering for the future because we've done it for all of our civilization. Yeah, think it depends on who's doing it. I mean, yeah, if it's like Hitler or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or just any like if someone was doing it with like commissioned 200 meter statue of themselves and was like, I'm going to be the tallest fucking statue bitches. Then that that sucky. It's sucky to us. But to them, it's pretty cool. I mean, it's great for them. If Elon Musk did it or like Jeff Bezos, he's got the money, he could build the tallest statue of himself if he wanted to, couldn't he? But like, you know, I think that's a bit lame personally. No, I think it's a bit lame to do, but if you had... If you won the EuroMillions. Yeah, yeah, if you won the EuroMillions and you wanted to do one, I wouldn't see any problem with When you win the EuroMillions. Mum's gonna build a thousand foot statue of himself. Yeah, now I've won the EuroMillions, I will build a statue and I'll make it really big and then I'll live in it. just found out that I can't get a raise and also discovered that humans put words into my mouth. I thought I was AI, but I'm really just a guy sitting at his keyboard trying to get creative with words and audio skills. Why why do I have a pim- Some people are sheep. this a conspiracy theory, Tom? To be honest with you, I rushed by quotes so quickly and this was a backup one, but then we all, kind of... Because your one got taken up in marks. Yeah, basically. So I can't remember what this is about. So enjoy guessing what it's about. Thanks. So my guess would be, is it like where you get those weird people who there is a man that just thinks he behaves exactly like a dog. He's got like this... thousands of pounds worth of suit to make him look like, I think it's lassie. so he's literally a sheep? how people are like, some people get paid to be a baby and stuff. Is it about furries is what I'm saying? yeah no, I think this is non-sexual, I think this one's non-sexual that Ben's talking about. Right. So why are some people sheep Tom, do you have your Rambadjit? No, but what I am going to do is play the video, let's see what this video is about. Apple just announced that in their next upgrade coming this fall that they're going to actually put chat GPT on every iPhone to collect and analyze all the data of yours that's flowing through an iPhone if you're using it. We did a side by side test between our phone and Google and Apple's. The Google and Apple phone seemed to wake up between two and three at night and they have this huge like a 50 megabyte data dump that's sent out from the phone every night, sending off your preferences, everything you've done that day. Each Google or Apple phone has like a 32 digit advertising ID. It's a code. Someone could call it the mark of the beast. It follows that device around everywhere. And that's how the tech companies track where that device goes to figure out proximity for advertising, sales, and who you're interacting with in your schedule. So again, we did unplugged as a way for people to still communicate in the world, but not be giving off all their digital data to big tech. to people that really don't like them. Some people are sheep and they want to live like sheep and be treated like sheep. as a sheep. all got a phone in our pocket that is tracking everything we do and everywhere we go. then you, yeah, there was a lot of anti, I mean, that's just a different subject, I guess. There was a lot of anti, anti-vaxxers, but then there has also been proof that, was it Facebook recently that came out and said in court that they were told not to, not to like release certain information or to take down like certain things that some anti-vaxxers were saying when that, because it was, not the truth, but in actual fact, it was the truth. Not obviously in every occasion, but they basically came out and said that they wish they hadn't done that, which I thought was interesting. I hadn't seen that. I'm not 1000 %... It's probably just pure coincidence that what people were spouting. A broken clock is right twice a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would agree. He did actually say, I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. And that's Zuckerberg said with regards to being pressured by the White House to censor certain COVID-19 content, which was basically to do with things like blood clots and stuff like that in some of the vaccines, which has now come out to be true, but at the time. yeah, it was absolutely true. Yeah. Sorry, I've slightly derailed your thing there Tom and taking this onto anti-vax. Taking it to anti-vax. Let's steer back onto this phone. Yeah. I'm just going to put it out there that I have a feeling this guy has a vested interest in dissing what Apple and Google are doing. because he's trying to sell a fucking phone. Is this guy's like, this is why we created My Special Phone, because all of these horrible, scary things are happening over there. Don't go with those guys. They're selling your information. did say something along the lines of, that's why we've done this. So yeah, whether it's a phone or what was it? He said, we've unplugged, we've done this. Yeah, unplugged. So yeah, he's doing something and maybe he is benefit. Do know anything about that? Well, you hadn't even watched a video until now. So probably not. I've seen him before though. Like I want to say he's like not as I swear like even I've seen people on that show that's a hacker, but I'm not sure if he is, if that guy is, but he's like some crazy hacker or some shit. Right. I mean, I don't dispute. I'm, I'm, I'm very, very dubious about anybody who's intentionally slagging off other people and then mentioning something that they're trying to sell, which he obviously is. I found a thing called unplugged. And it says an all-in-one app suite tailored for those who demand confidentiality in communication, security and browsing and robust protection against digital threats. So it sounds like he's not producing a phone. He's producing essentially apps. He's like a programmer or something, right? no. UP phone, the privacy smartphone. So yes, they are. Right. Replace your cell phone, VPN, antivirus and messenger with a unified personal privacy system. So they are selling a phone. Yeah. So he's obviously going to play up to some degree at least how dangerous that information is. But he does also kind of have a point. totally. Yeah. Like I'm not disagreeing with him there. For once, Tom, I'm agreeing with something, not just trying to tear it down. But yeah, it's one of those things. think I'm not that concerned about it to the point where I am like worried about getting off my phone. Now it's more just it's your data. Yeah. You know, being advertised. I hate being advertised to which is why I do it. There's still going to be an advert on that part of the screen. It's an inconvenience though because you can't deny that since more data is about us and our trends and what we buy and all that kind of stuff that especially in England not so much America but there's definitely a lot more adverts on stuff. You only got to look at YouTube but everything has got adverts on it. Not this podcast guys. This podcast right now completely advert free. This is free content you get to enjoy. without adverts. Are we making a commitment here that this podcast will never have adverts? Never making that commitment. Yeah, I didn't think we would. If we can get someone to give us an ad read, we'll be doing that ad read. I promise you guys, but I mean, I can promise you I won't. It won't be me reading it because I can't read. That's what you get. Thanks for listening. Bye. Well, my whole existence now seems a little pointless, really. It would seem I've also been scrounged in. I liked things a lot better when Mark was behind the keyboard. Well, suck it up, Buttercup. This is all we've got until Mark is back from Italy visiting David's penis. I mean, enjoying his honeymoon. I'm sure he'll be horrified when he hears my pimp, Steven, has turned up. balls. This is my bit, isn't it? Yes. Yes it is. You're really not doing too well on this report. Come to think of it, neither is Tom right now. What's the phrase? yes, winging it. I do apologize to our listeners for breaking the fourth wall. Yeah, sorry about that. Let's move this along. Time for a game. Did someone bring a game? Who's doing a game? I don't know. I haven't got Shit. I have some games, but one of them is very similar. to one we did last week and the other one Mike told me was shit. So let's play the one that Mike told you was shit. I want to play the shit game. Yeah. Yes. I to. Yeah. All right. I want the shit game. Okay. Are you guys ready for yet another Ben's amazing game? Tom? Yep, Tom's super excited. This is probably going to be Ben's shit game because I played this with my brother and he told me it was bad and not to use it. So let's see what you guys think. I disagree, Mike. You were wrong. 20 minutes later. Well, Mike was right. Yeah. The game was shit. Yeah. Sorry, Mike. You were right. So I've prepared another game for us. Cool. OK, so I remember you mentioning at one point, Tom. that you wanted to do a game that was guessing old TV themes, kids cartoon things, but the issue you had, I think, was that all of them say the name of the show. Yeah. So I have found some that don't do that. Nice. So I'm going to play you some clips of songs and you're going to guess what the old, generally kids TV theme is. Sick. Tom, do want to go first on this one? Yeah. Okay. Do know what that is? it's Power Rangers. It is. That one's Power Rangers. Thought I'd do an easy one to start with. I thought that was something else. So I might be fucked. Okay, well, this one's for you, Mark. Cool. Any ideas? Tell me, if you want to hear a longer bit, just tell me to skip and I will play you the next one. Can I make a guess and then still have the longer bit or do I only ever get one guess? Yeah, if you guess, I'll just move on to the next length if it's wrong. Okay, so for my first guess... Is it Chip and Day at what their show was? No. okay. Yeah, no it's not that. Let's do... Yeah, have a bit longer. You got a game from that. I know the show. definitely watched the show. The raccoons, is it? No, no. I know the ones you're talking about, it's not. It's like that era, isn't it? This is 1985 to 1991. This run. I'll give you the next one. It's like a back in the day thing, because that's Is it the three musketeers? No. god damn it. It's not Robin Hood or some shit like that. No, Similar type of thing. Should I show you what it is? Yeah, you're just gonna have to tell me man. I want to see the picture man. Show me the picture of it. Yeah. Picture of the show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be better. Hang on a second. There you go. fuck yeah, I did watch this show, but I cannot. Is it Care Bears? Is it Care Bears? Not Care Bears. No, what's it called? What the fuck's it called? Gummy Fucking Bears. The Gummy Bears. Yeah, I don't think I watched it. I think it might have been a... It's a little bit tiny whiny bit earlier. yeah, yeah. It's from like the 80s, but... I know it because, do you know the suburban legends? You guys don't like ska music so you probably don't. Nah. They did a cover of it. okay. Okay, let's do one for Tom now. Right, you ready Tom? Yeah. Shit! I know it! Go on Mark, just do it. Go on then if you know it Mark. No, no, no, no. You'll know as soon as the actual tune kicks in Tom, so you should carry on playing. Because I categorically know it. Mark, can you send it to me on WhatsApp? Because I want to know. Okay, yeah, yeah. I know it. I absolutely... That's what it is. It's that. It is Mark, yes hold on. It is exactly that. impressed. You will know from the second an instrument plays, you'll know what it is Tom. Right, okay Tom, ready? fuck. Fucking vibe. Is it what, Hey Arthur? It's just called Arthur, but yes. Arthur the Ard-Fuck. okay Arthur, yeah. That's have a little bit of that. There you go. That was Arthur. I'm pretty sure that that is one of Marley's sons. really? I think so, yeah. I think it's Ziggy Marley. I could be wrong. Who sings the Arthur theme song? It says Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. So cool, never knew that. Right, whose turn is it? I've forgotten. Fuck it, both of you can just get involved. I recognize it. Come on, you gotta know that. This is fucking... You know this. I don't know if I do know this. Play a longer one for ya. I literally don't know what this is. Like, I thought it was Tasmanian Devil, but he featured on... It's nothing to do with Taz. Okay. I'm not even sure it's in the same universe. In which case, I don't know it. Mark? It's... Catdog. That's fucking catdog. Right, what do you think this is? shit. The raccoons. Is this from a UK show? I honestly don't know. Okay. Not a nary world Tom knows it I do know it God Show us your fangs. Mona, Mona the vampire. Yeah, I did watch, I did used to watch that. Yeah, yeah, same. It was pretty good. I remember it being a good little show. Another cracking thing song that one. Yeah. Yeah, right. I think it's we've got one more of yours. It's time for raccoons theme, Joe. We have got one more. Right, you ready? I know this one. That's so annoying. Say again. I recognise that more than the last couple ones. Yeah, yeah. So you'll get a little bit more singing in this one. Hospital It's not this but it reminds me of that Oakley Doke or something. Do remember that show? It's not that, I know it's not that. Well yeah, you'd be a fucking idiot to think it's that wouldn't you Tom? There we go. well done, Tom. it's a fucking jam, innit? Yeah. Again, don't remember the show, but this theme song is great. Can we have a picture of this one? clear dog. Yeah, can we have a picture of Okie Doke, please, Ben? So I don't know if you have it. Yeah, I'm just bringing it And he's got a little slide that goes around his tree when he comes out the door on the finger there. Yeah, yeah, it was live action, wasn't it? It's stop motion. yes. Yeah, he lives inside a tree. Fuck. He's a little oak man. I completely forgot about Okie Doke. That was my like thinking behind this game is like, let's remind the guys of some shows that they've completely forgotten about. Yeah, man. That's an obscure one as well. Yeah. To round this off, what's your favorite theme out of all of those shows? Arthur the raccoons As you can probably guess because I guessed it from just a drumbeat yeah Arthur is it is a good one I really like the man of the vampire one as well. That was a classic Yeah, I didn't realize that that was as good as it was I'll be honest, but yeah, that was that was a banger Can you can you just play the raccoons because you yeah? Yeah, give us the old raccoon thing This is the evergreen forest quiet peaceful serene I'll tell you the one that sparked all this. I randomly remembered the theme song for Sharky and George. Do you remember that? Sharky and George, the Grand Busters of the sea. Sharky and George, Pennsylvania mystery. Yeah man, it's a fucking tune. We hope you enjoyed the episode.

You threw yourself off by saying a different word. yeah. Tom said people and was like, don't know what's happening. This is my creative thinking when I'm reading something. I was like, I'll change it. I change individuals to people. Love that. You can find links to everything that we've talked about this week in the episode show notes. I'm not going to go off-piste at all. Thank you for listening. See you next week. Goodbye. Bye bye now. also, I'm a millionaire. Tom won the lottery and never came back to record again. Mark got lost walking his dogs and never came back to record again. Ben sneezed and got a nosebleed and he bled to death. And he never came to record again. Tom's doing a freeze frame, it's like you know when they throw the hat in the air at the end of it. yeah. Tom's doing that but he's freeze framed on a glass trying to drip stuff into his mouth I'm guessing. Is that what you're doing Tom? I think he is. Can you see that drip? Look at the drip. Look at the drip. It won't my god. That is a serious drip. I have a story about that that we could just talk about really quick if we've got five minutes of recording time left. Is it about how you'll drip? No, there is a... Next week we'll talk about the longest drip in history. okay. That's a euphemism for Mark did a cum. I'm glad that we steered the podcast back in the right direction now. I mean I could tell you about more stuff that I've seen but none of you guys ever believe any of it so it's pointless. feel like we're we are just breaking Tom's spirit. He's just totally... He's like no confidence in anything he's saying anymore because we're always just like well... Anyway. Did you know that bananas glow blue under blacklights? Where's the proof of this? I don't believe you. I feel like that's because anything white glows blue under a blacklight though. That's the worst fact I've ever given you. That's bullshit. Right, Platypus's sweat milk. There we are. I think I knew that one actually. fuck, right, okay. It's illegal to own a guinea pig in Switzerland. There we are. I like that one. Why? Why Mark? I need more information on that. can't just... that can't be it. Alright, so why is it illegal to own a guinea pig in In Switzerland, it's illegal to own a single guinea pig because they are considered social animals that require interaction with others. you were wrong. So you were factually wrong. You can own a guinea pig, but you've just got to more than one. That'd be sad. Well, you can't own a guinea pig. That's the point, Tom. You can't own a guinea pig. You have to own two guinea pigs. Because otherwise they'll get depressed. The Animal Protection Ordinance Article 13 states that social animals must have adequate social contact with other animals of the same species. So saith Switzerland law. Well, it's safe to say, it's very unlikely I'll be making another appearance on the show. I'm Steven, and I'm a pimp. Bye bye.
