00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,720
And look, what do we do with the
words? 

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,720
We throw them into dukas

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
You could just type in as you

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120
know giblet and see if there's 
any stories of a giblet. 

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,480
I don't know Giblet. 
I wouldn't know a giblet from 

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:30,560
the. 
Let's see Luke. 

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,080
We got submitted loads of words 
by users and users. 

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
I always call them users. 
Users of podcast? 

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,640
Yeah, they're using podcast. 
They're podcast abusers, don't 

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080
abusers. 
And I picked the first one was a

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000
word. 
And Jesus Christ Irish folk from

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,520
back in the day had an awful lot
of stories about words. 

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
I can't remember the name of 
everyone that submitted things, 

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,560
but this was submitted by the 
lovely Mr. Nevin. 

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Do you have any rat stories 
before we begin? 

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Like a personal rat story. 
I have go on. 

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,360
I remember clearing out a turf 
shed, God da da and we're 

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
stacking it somewhere else. 
And I remember finding a bit of 

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,720
a bit of newspaper that was a 
shredded up and Dad was wise 

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,800
enough and saying, oh, I think I
think rats might have made nests

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,000
in this. 
Turf. 

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680
And I said, Oh no, maybe just 
throwing in the turf, like tore 

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,840
up the paper, obviously didn't. 
And the next thing I lifted up. 

44
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,000
Luckily, it wasn't it. 
I lifted up a piece of turf and 

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
directly under where that turf 
was, the was the biggest rat 

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,360
I've ever seen like it was. 
It made me reconsider how big 

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,840
rats can get. 
Yeah, and it made me like he's a

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960
country rat, he. 
Was country rat this big leg? 

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Yeah, he was well fed. 
And it's like Dragons. 

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,200
It's like Dragons, man. 
The more room they have, the 

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,760
bigger the bigger they get. 
Like goldfish? 

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,080
Or is it koi fish? 
I think koi fish do get really 

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,040
big, big buys. 
I met a koi fish in a pub once, 

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,440
and he was the biggest ladder 
ever met. 

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Yeah, you're a koi either. 
Sorry. 

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,040
Yeah, he jumped at you jumped. 
But it jumped way higher than 

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,080
ever to use. 
Yeah. 

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Oh well, really. 
Distance, right? 

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Height and he had the diagonal 
go wow, connect four. 

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,120
And he jumped into, he jumped 
into a pile of pallets, and me 

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,120
and Dad were like, I only just 
that Grimacy, you win threshing.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Yeah, to be heebie jeebies, I. 
Remember he brought up, He was 

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,480
like, I had a piece of turf in 
my hand. 

64
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,360
Why didn't I just get at him? 
And I was like, well, it was a 

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,360
bit shocking to see and what was
more shocking was out cheeky it 

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,440
was. 
I suppose it couldn't have went 

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,480
anywhere within, like while we 
were talking over that 10 

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,040
seconds, it changed its mind, 
jumped back out to where it was,

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
and like, what was? 
Weird to me was the way it was. 

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,240
It's lithered. 
It's lithered into the turf. 

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
You could see his body like kind
of hinge, if you get me that. 

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560
It was going like like a fish. 
Kind of like it reminded me of 

73
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,360
those things and even look, old 
stink. 

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,000
Remember the things full of 
water? 

75
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Oh, squeegee, squeegee, 
squeegee. 

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Yeah, I don't know why it 
reminded me of that, but it was 

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
just real flopping around and I 
don't know, it really made me. 

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280
I don't mind seeing mice, no, 
mice are cute like. 

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,120
I don't want to discriminate. 
But rats? 

80
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,240
No. 
They're big men and they can 

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,200
make a ruckus. 
You have any rat stories in your

82
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,800
life? 
Rat stories like I've crossed 

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,360
paths with rats. 
Are you cycling along the canals

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,120
here in Dublin? 
At one point when I was living 

85
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,519
somewhere along to get home or 
to work and aft a rat would 

86
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,720
cross my path. 
I almost killed a few, like they

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,600
were getting close now. 
Oh. 

88
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:21,760
Mike, that would send you off, 
surely? 

89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,640
That would send me boy. 
And I have a mouse story though.

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,720
Oh. 
Please. 

91
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
It's quite funny. 
So we we had a bit of a mouse, 

92
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,640
mouse issue there a few weeks 
ago in my abode in a different 

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,600
part of the country and I we 
were we're all quite pacifists 

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,240
in our house like so. 
We love the earth, we love 

95
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,280
people, planet critters. 
So we decided to buy humane 

96
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,560
traps and by golly, it felt like
Pokémon Man. 

97
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,560
The next morning I woke up there
he was inside this. 

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,400
I can hear him scurrying about. 
Went out and battled by myself. 

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,920
Wait, so I I wanted to keep him 
for a little bit. 

100
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,240
So like, I got a lunch box, put 
holes in it, put a little dish 

101
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,240
of water and a little dish of 
peanut butter. 

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520
This boy was going to have a 
good life only for a sharp bit, 

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,640
like and then I was going to let
him go. 

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,520
It's like a little hotel where 
he didn't have to worry about 

105
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,200
predators. 
But of course he was in this 

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
dark box all night and then all 
of a sudden the box had been 

107
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,160
moved around. 
He thought the predators were 

108
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120
out there, so I asked my 
housemate. 

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200
I asked him. 
I asked him to help, to help me.

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Do you know, like hold the like 
when I open the box and shake 

111
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,400
him out? 
You put the lid down really 

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,960
quick to keep him inside. 
By Christ he was ready man. 

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,360
I opened it. 
Shock him he was he wasn't 

114
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,440
out-of-the-box 2 seconds when he
thought I had selected attack on

115
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,560
my hopemate housemate, he jumped
out-of-the-box, jumped onto her 

116
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,360
sleeve and then he left meters 
down the backyard. 

117
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,840
He was a jumping by. 
The business and plenty inside 

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,720
the thing. 
Taxes. 

119
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,040
He left rent. 
Fair play at him one night. 

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,120
He was awful cute, man. 
But unfortunately we did have to

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,560
start laying down other things 
to kind of get rid of them. 

122
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,880
They got wise on the humane 
traps. 

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,720
They're. 
Not as good and sure. 

124
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,920
Look, look, it happened. 
Also just before. 

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,400
What's the name of that disease?
You can get a Wheels disease. 

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,720
That's another thing that 
terrifies me. 

127
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Rat from rat pee and poo. 
Yeah, yeah. 

128
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080
I had a neighbor who got it and 
he was like laid in bed. 

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,120
You can go blind from wheels 
disease. 

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,840
Yeah, and isn't the same with 
cats pee, man. 

131
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,680
I remember around our playground
at school they'd be like, don't 

132
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,440
go up and throw his hedges 
because the cats are peeing up 

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,400
there and if you scratch your 
eye you'll be blind by. 

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Kids love cat pee. 
When I was a big fan of a child 

135
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,120
stinks. 
Man, did you ever get sprayed by

136
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560
a cat? 
Oh, I see this like done in 

137
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,560
cartoon so much, but I don't 
know if I've seen much spraying.

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,800
I have been around cats spray 
and it's a different scent 

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,480
altogether. 
It's muskie. 

140
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,920
I'd imagine it is muskie. 
Yeah, because. 

141
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,080
It's kind of more let's it's 
kind of territory are also like 

142
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,800
I'm here. 
Look it's funny that you 

143
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,400
mentioned papers and rats there 
in your story because we've read

144
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,720
this before in a story actually.
Oh yeah, and it used to be 

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,480
called rat beeling. 
We read the story before, but 

146
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,480
I'll bring it back. 
Rats are very dangerous pest. 

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,240
When one or two are noticed in a
place, there is always a swarm 

148
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720
of them. 
Rats live in bands like bees and

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,520
we all we all say it. 
Who's the band of bees over? 

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,840
The bees over there long ago. 
It is said that rats would leave

151
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
a place if a paper with the 
words. 

152
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,320
Here is the delay written on it 
was left for them. 

153
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,480
Fleming's Mill in Chandra was 
swarmed with them and somebody 

154
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,800
told the owner about this plan 
and he did it. 

155
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,960
And James Dennigan of Konopog 
was coming home to Chondra from 

156
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,200
tarmin and he met all the rats 
coming down the road and one 

157
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,480
large rat in front with the 
piece of paper in his mouth. 

158
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,080
This has been done in several 
places by golly. 

159
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Big rat, I imagine has a big 
quiff or something. 

160
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Or he's you could tell he's the 
head honcho like. 

161
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Boom down rats. 
He's running the joint. 

162
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,000
I really like that story, man. 
A bit peculiar. 

163
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Why Banda Bees? 
Yeah yeah, Banda bees. 

164
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
And also we did the paper 
leaving a note for the rat 

165
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,080
saying here is the belay and the
rat's like got to get out of 

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,680
here unless it acts as like a 
ticket for them to go elsewhere.

167
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080
You're allowed to get it. 
You're allowed somewhere else 

168
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,880
down. 
Oh boys, he gave us the ticket. 

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,720
Yeah, it's like a car, like a 
parking guy. 

170
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,039
I don't want it. 
Or maybe it's that? 

171
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,160
The rat. 
The rat is Gray in colour. 

172
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,680
He does great destruction to 
stacks oats and chickens. 

173
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Sometimes he goes into the house
and he eats the food that is 

174
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,800
left around. 
There are two kinds of rats, a 

175
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,840
water rat and a common rat. 
The water rat is not very 

176
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:10,960
numerous in this district, Luke,
after thralling through dukas 

177
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
for all these rat stories. 
You know what? 

178
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,120
Dirty. 
What's the boy? 

179
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,560
First, there's one thing I will 
say is the rat is never good. 

180
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Never. 
They never have a story where a 

181
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
rat, is it a man? 
No. 

182
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,480
In fact, it's funny that you 
mention that. 

183
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,960
Listen to this like a rat about 
this rat. 

184
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,280
A story about a rat and a 
weasel. 

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,240
Long ago an old old men used to 
wear low shoes and long 

186
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,640
stockings and sharp pants. 
Oh bit a leg and one day an old 

187
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,480
man was plowing in a field and a
rat and a weasel had a great 

188
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,720
fight and he was a long time 
looking at them. 

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,200
At last the rat was getting the 
better hand of the weasel and he

190
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
went to save the weasel. 
And when he went to save them, 

191
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760
the rat bit him in the leg. 
That's what he gets now for 

192
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,840
wearing the shorts. 
Next day his foot was swelled up

193
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,280
and he was not able to do 
anything. 

194
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,200
That morning the weasel came to 
the door with a leaf in his 

195
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,240
mouth. 
The people of the house 

196
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:12,760
undertook that. 
It must be for to put on his 

197
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,120
foot because he saved him. 
So he put it with the foot and 

198
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,520
the next morning it was better. 
The old people say that it is 

199
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,960
not right to do anything on a 
weasel and if you do anything on

200
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,320
him, he will do something on you
a short time afterwards. 

201
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,600
That's very they they often 
conflate the weasel stories with

202
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,840
the LM, the fairies. 
And the door? 

203
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,840
Cool. 
And whatever they were. 

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,680
Oh yeah, I do the same time. 
Or they're mustilids, aren't 

205
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,000
they? 
Yeah, that If you hurt them, 

206
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,240
then another one will come for 
you. 

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,840
Kind of. 
Isn't that interesting? 

208
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
There's a cat in our 
neighborhood and as I was 

209
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,680
saying, we were having a bit of 
a mouse problem. 

210
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Cats. 
Beautiful now. 

211
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Black Ravens, her name. 
Green eyes. 

212
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,080
Lovely cat comes in the window 
to me, which I don't like 

213
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,880
actually, because I think I 
might be allergic now that she's

214
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,240
on my pillow. 
Besides the .1 time I was 

215
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,280
coming. 
On my pillow, I was going. 

216
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,520
I don't know where I was going, 
but I came out and she was 

217
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,160
walking across the road with a 
mouse in her mouth, and I was 

218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,160
like, raving. 
And she dropped the mouse. 

219
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800
I don't know what she didn't. 
She lay down, all nonchalant, as

220
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280
if I'm not doing anything would 
let the mouse kind of boogie 

221
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,800
around and just as a mouse was 
about to get away, run over and 

222
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,720
grab it and F it up again. 
And then just lie down and I'll 

223
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,400
launch it on Pee again. 
Just playing with it. 

224
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,680
I'm playing with it and also 
showing off to me being like 

225
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,720
watch this. 
I often wonder with cats and 

226
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,560
such, since they're getting fed 
regularly, so they're getting 

227
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:37,640
fed regularly so their food 
needs are met, but that. 

228
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,680
Killer Instinct isn't met, so 
I'd say the the Looking for my 

229
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:43,760
ISIS for just. 
It's like it's just trying to 

230
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,400
get your bit of play. 
I think it is the play man, a 

231
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,360
primal bit of play. 
Primal bit of play and how do 

232
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,840
you get your primal bit of play 
in yourself? 

233
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600
What do I do? 
I think we all need a primal bit

234
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,440
of play in our lives. 
Not at the harm of anybody else,

235
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:57,600
though. 
You. 

236
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,360
See it at the festivals you do 
right? 

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,200
People running around, people 
running. 

238
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,440
I'm. 
Trying to think what my primal 

239
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,760
bit of play is. 
Dancing. 

240
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,960
That's primal play because you 
know for a fact your ancestors 

241
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800
are dancing. 
You know for a fact they weren't

242
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,320
sitting on their fucking phone 
looking at Instagram. 

243
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,760
No. 
They were looking at a rat on 

244
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:31,280
their phone, scrolling their rat
in Hoth. 

245
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,160
There was a castle. 
Hoth Castle. 

246
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,560
I hope there. 
They lived in as a landlord and 

247
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:44,360
some others slaves. 
It was near the sea and they 

248
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,480
used to go out to see if there 
were any ships. 

249
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,480
One night there was a storm and 
the next morning they discovered

250
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,040
an old woman in a raft. 
They brought her and her 

251
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,160
luggage. 
She had luggage. 

252
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,920
She was just to get on the 
rafter page. 

253
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,240
You know what they see on the 
plane, man? 

254
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
They say if it's going down, 
don't grab your luggage. 

255
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960
She ignored that she had her 
headphones in when she was born.

256
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,640
Make sure to use the bathroom 
before it sinks. 

257
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,520
It's going to be tough. 
It's the castle and made herself

258
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,720
or made her comfortable. 
It'd be funny. 

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,320
She just made herself 
comfortable immediately. 

260
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,360
Now this landlord had a servant 
man who was haunted by a rat. 

261
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,840
Of course I love her. 
Nonchalant, that is, of course 

262
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280
he's haunted by a rat. 
Everywhere he went that rent, 

263
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,880
that rent, so everywhere he 
went, the rat was sure to go, he

264
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,400
told the old woman. 
Whom he sheltered, and she gave 

265
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,280
him a strap to tie around his 
wrist. 

266
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,040
She told him never to. 
She told him never to take. 

267
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,840
That's the rat outside. 
Excuse me, There's someone at 

268
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360
the door. 
She told him to never take it 

269
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,920
off, and as long as he wore it, 
it kept the rat away. 

270
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,120
But one day his wife saw the 
strap on his hand and she was 

271
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920
jealous because she thought it 
was a token from another. 

272
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,120
I'm not here. 
He never told his wife like. 

273
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,960
She not noticed This rat wasn't 
pestering them. 

274
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,920
Well, he maybe he did. 
Yeah. 

275
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,720
I don't know. 
It's interesting. 

276
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,520
One day. 
So one night when he was asleep,

277
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,120
she cut the strap. 
Immediately he was haunted by 

278
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,240
the rat. 
Haunted by the rat? 

279
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,960
I often find it funny in those 
cheesy situations where it's 

280
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,880
like, it's funny that you 
wouldn't just like not leave 

281
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,760
him, but like, I don't know that
there was an address. 

282
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440
She's like, she was happy enough
to quietly remove this love 

283
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
token and that was this. 
That's Yeah, while he was 

284
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440
sleeping. 
Awful strange relationship 

285
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,520
that's like. 
The most important, yeah, I 

286
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,240
think communication is key 
there, yeah. 

287
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,000
Imagine this is what we're now 
We're like, we're like one of 

288
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,360
those agony ants you're right 
into. 

289
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,360
They cross to Belgium, but to no
avail. 

290
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,600
The rat was always before him, 
better, better. 

291
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520
He knew it was hotel and he 
opened the door of the rat. 

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720
He then went to Spain. 
A lovely He's not madman. 

293
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,080
He he was so pestered by this 
rat that he moved country twice 

294
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800
like. 
And he's only a servant guy, so 

295
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,480
he must. 
You know he didn't have the 

296
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000
beans to run around, eh? 
But it was one. 

297
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,440
It was of no use. 
Wherever he went, the rat never 

298
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,160
failed to annoy him trying to 
kill him. 

299
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,320
He's that fucking. 
Rat. 

300
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Just be waking up. 
Sorry. 

301
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,120
I know this rash. 
He's always at me. 

302
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Don't worry about this. 
It's actually very common in my 

303
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,320
life. 
Yeah, that's bringing it up on a

304
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,960
date. 
And he said the red flags. 

305
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Ah, there's this rash. 
You'll meet him later. 

306
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,640
He's always on the table. 
I'm struggling with him right 

307
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,040
now. 
I've actually played. 

308
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,840
I'm keeping him busy outside. 
Anyway, the last time he 

309
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,080
arrived, he intended to shoot 
the pest. 

310
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440
When he had shot the pest, it 
wasn't a rat at all. 

311
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,440
For he stretched out his hands 
and cried that it was the man's 

312
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,120
brother who was always with him,
and that the old woman was a 

313
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,480
witch who had transformed him. 
So the old woman was bad, bad 

314
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,560
man, But oh, it's not funny that
you gave him the strap. 

315
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,560
She probably knew well that it 
was such a lovely strap that she

316
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,080
was like, this is the type of 
strap that your wife will cut 

317
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,040
off here. 
There is a life still to be seen

318
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,920
going through this house, OK? 
That's just they'll always add 

319
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,000
that told folks yeah I don't 
know what that's what they. 

320
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800
All the lights still on in the 
house, you know, freaking 

321
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,640
electricity bills mad over 
there. 

322
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080
There was it. 
The sort of candles for days. 

323
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,080
X-Files teams are super, do do, 
do, do. 

324
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,640
That was collected by Portugal 
O'Brien from Baltimore Bridge, 

325
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,720
County Galway. 
And he collected that from 

326
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Podrick 4 from Charlestown. 
Man, yeah, it was a witch. 

327
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,160
That's a sad and scary one. 
Now imagine you think you're 

328
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,880
doing well for lady off a 
shipwreck and she turned your 

329
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,880
own brother into a rat. 
That's a lot like, a lot of the 

330
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,880
sort of creepy 824 movies that 
at the start, record this old 

331
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,880
woman. 
They're saving her. 

332
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480
As it turns out, she's just 
discouraged. 

333
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,920
She's discouraged in their 
lives. 

334
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,000
And why? 
She's the lesson of this. 

335
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840
She probably, Yeah. 
So what's the lesson? 

336
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,800
Don't look after old ladies, 
Yeah. 

337
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,480
I often think maybe that's why 
they make so many stories with 

338
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,720
creepy old people, because 
they're like, can't be keeping 

339
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:17,079
this one. 
The Burning of Eska College. 

340
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Am I going to commit to this 
voice? 

341
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,200
Are you? 
Let's find that. 

342
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,400
Once I was the Friars guest in 
my uncle's habitation. 

343
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,360
One night, as I laid down to 
rest, I saw a conflagration 

344
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,720
configuration. 
I saw a conflagration 

345
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,080
conflagration configuration. 
Jesus. 

346
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,600
My uncle had a conical on 
forgation in the latter years of

347
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,320
his life. 
I don't know what that is. 

348
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,920
A conflagration is an extensive 
fire which destroys a great deal

349
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,880
of land or property. 
Did you know that? 

350
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,680
No, that's really good 
conflagration. 

351
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Of that word of the day. 
The window frames were all in 

352
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,360
flames. 
I thought my brain was turning. 

353
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600
I saw a rat running around the 
floor carrying a candle, 

354
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,200
burning. 
I like to think it's always the 

355
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,360
same rat. 
It is lame. 

356
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,600
He has a quick it's the rest, 
The rest. 

357
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Had IA weapon in my hand, that 
vermin I would slaughter, but I 

358
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,240
was locked in with our firemen. 
No engine hose or water. 

359
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,680
I like how they spelled hose. 
Yeah, they spelled. 

360
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,320
It oh, yes, In comes the Friar. 
He cries out fire. 

361
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520
The same Piercy. 
Now you see your transgression. 

362
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,920
No, look, nor Grace could be in 
this place with a man of your 

363
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,800
profession. 
Damn, what was his profession? 

364
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,400
He didn't say. 
Making Clown for We'll actually 

365
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,240
find out and after. 
You know you were admitted here 

366
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,080
without the provincials 
knowledge, but now you are here 

367
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160
in your wild career to burn down
our college. 

368
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:57,440
Oh, Father Blake, don't you 
suspect or do not desperate me? 

369
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,880
OK, I'm going to guess that. 
What do you think? 

370
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,360
Oh. 
Father break, don't you suspect?

371
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,760
Suspect is what I would think, 
yeah, I would have put. 

372
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,800
This or do not disop disobeyed 
maybe. 

373
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,920
This, yeah, for the Friar sees 
you kept my fees and a penny. 

374
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,800
You never paid me. 
This is like a battle rap. 

375
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,640
It is a battle. 
With an angry feeling in my 

376
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,040
breast. 
I've got an angry, angry 

377
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,680
feeling. 
Where do you feel your anger? 

378
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,880
Ah. 
It's more in your head. 

379
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
I get it in my chest and my jaw.
My jaw? 

380
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,760
Definitely, yeah. 
I will carry on my journey for 

381
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,360
no look or peace you did afford 
to the poor attorney. 

382
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,360
He was an attorney. 
Ah. 

383
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Since your friendship I have 
lost it may be for the better. 

384
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,920
I will have you served with a 
bill of cost 6 and 8 pence for 

385
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,960
each letter. 
Oh Jesus, for each letter of 

386
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,880
like writing stuff. 
Since you accuse me in the wrong

387
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,120
and set my brain a crazy that 
there's another raft before it's

388
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,000
long may set this old concern 
blazing. 

389
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,720
Good one, man, isn't it? 
So you can get hot rats hired to

390
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,160
burn to burn places. 
This is a different time. 

391
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,600
You just give them that little 
piece of paper, that's it. 

392
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,880
And he's like challenge. 
I kind. 

393
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Of found that fairs a while 
back. 

394
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,920
Huge. 
That gives a little bit of leaf,

395
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,760
too. 
It's very cute, the idea that he

396
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,680
was like you were, you saved me 
in that fight that the rat was 

397
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,840
going to. 
I don't know if you Remember Me.

398
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,320
I'm the ferret from before. 
Here's the leaves will be on. 

399
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,720
Do you want to hear the back 
story? 

400
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,480
That poem, man. 
Piercy Dolphin, who was supposed

401
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,160
to have written the poem, was a 
native of Thoreau House. 

402
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,240
He was well educated and became 
an attorney. 

403
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,960
He was very fond of the drink 
and he almost became insane from

404
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,680
it. 
His uncle, Father Blake, was in 

405
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,240
Escrow College, which was at 
that time only a small building.

406
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,320
Piercy was allowed to live in 
the college. 

407
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,360
One night Piercy's room went on 
fire and the Friars turned him 

408
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:59,360
out. 
Shortly after, Piercy composed 

409
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:01,360
this poem. 
It's interesting, isn't it? 

410
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:05,400
Surely it was an accident that 
he's he's he probably knocked 

411
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,160
over his little light while he 
was signing his documents, but 

412
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,440
to blame it on a rat? 
I'd like to think he was smoking

413
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,600
a heap of fag. 
Something, man. 

414
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,920
It was the rat with the candle. 
I told you, I'm telling you, 

415
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,360
it's the rat. 
That's why he's the paper in his

416
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,480
hand. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

417
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040
John's Another poem here. 
Why is there so many papers in 

418
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,960
this? 
Yeah, in this room, but he's an 

419
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,400
attorney. 
At Law, I'd love a poem. 

420
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,800
This one was called on my dog. 
I have a dog and his color is 

421
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,760
red and I always fed him with 
milk and bread. 

422
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,040
One night when he was asleep in 
bed, a rat came and he sat in 

423
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,760
his head and then the dog said 
he would kill the rat dead. 

424
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,080
So he jumped and he bit the 
rat's head. 

425
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Jesus that was collected by 
Vincent Doyle from Ballyglass, E

426
00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:00,200
County Galway. 
Long ago, when there was a big 

427
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,280
house in Hampstead, there lived 
a man and his wife in the house.

428
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,680
One day a rat came in and sat 
beside the fire and they were 

429
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,120
afraid to put him out. 
Just seemed a bit miserable to 

430
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:12,040
put him out, so rats around. 
Yeah, I'd like to think this one

431
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,160
was polite. 
We'll see. 

432
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,160
Just see how it kind of in my 
mind it's cute that he's sitting

433
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,160
beside the fire. 
I think I'd find it very hard to

434
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,480
tell a rat to leave after. 
If he crossed his legs, he's 

435
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,840
there forever. 
You're on a date. 

436
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,360
You're on a date, man. 
You're like red flags. 

437
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Jeez, I find it awful hard to 
ask to correct. 

438
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,040
Leave. 
Yeah, I find it very hard. 

439
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:37,000
He come back to the house after 
some time He opened the door and

440
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,400
went out. 
Another night there was a dance.

441
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,480
Imagine if the rat and the wife 
had an affair. 

442
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Another night there was a dance 
in the same house and a motor 

443
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,760
car came in one door. 
And like the Monopoly man or 

444
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,240
someone in the car, there was a 
man who owned the house one time

445
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320
and he was dead. 
Now you know you understand why 

446
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,920
I titled that wacko story. 
I was hoping the rat would be in

447
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,480
the car with there was no. 
The rat only happened once. 

448
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Yeah. 
Who? 

449
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,880
Why? 
Who wrote that down? 

450
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,240
We'll, we were given another 
word. 

451
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,400
Man. 
Banana. 

452
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,640
No, as you can imagine. 
When do you think Irish people 

453
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,600
went to the Americas? 
First time I had a banana man 

454
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,800
was in college. 
Was it? 

455
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,480
No. 
I Once I started, I was when I 

456
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,720
started enjoying bananas. 
You and your brother had just 

457
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,120
didn't really like bananas. 
No or beans. 

458
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Don't. 
I still don't like beans. 

459
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,120
I love beans, but I like bananas
and bananas are the best fruit, 

460
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:36,360
I would say. 
They're very handy fruits. 

461
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,240
They're probably like they're 
they're my life utilitarian 

462
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,080
fruit, I would say. 
Definitely. 

463
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,120
Do you know, like the people's 
fruit? 

464
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,200
They're versatile. 
Yeah. 

465
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,760
I saw you drop half your banana.
Yeah, me and Aaron were walking 

466
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,360
around the city streets, the 
grimy city streets. 

467
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,160
There was saxophone actually 
walked a saxophone, lonely 

468
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,680
saxophone. 
And yeah, I was holding the 

469
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,680
banana in whatever way, just it 
was a bit comic and I was 

470
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,480
holding it by the short end of 
that. 

471
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,240
You eat. 
You eat the banana in a strange 

472
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,360
way though, don't you? 
Well, you eat it though. 

473
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,680
You take all the skin off. 
I don't always do that, OK. 

474
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,040
I do that in. 
I actually kept it in. 

475
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,480
You did. 
If this time, if I had a firm, I

476
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,920
tried to run away. 
Imagine I I was squeezing it 

477
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,440
like no. 
For some reason I feel the whole

478
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,960
banana sometimes. 
I think this podcast is just be 

479
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,640
over sharing the points with my 
evening habits. 

480
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,920
Yeah, I did roast you once about
your biscuit. 

481
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,440
It was a fun time. 
That's a problem. 

482
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,560
You need to and, but please tell
me a banana tail. 

483
00:24:35,420 --> 00:24:36,700
Well, I'll give you a Riddle, 
dude. 

484
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:38,900
And I knew one better. 
They could look. 

485
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:41,420
Pretend I didn't tell you that 
we were talking about bananas, 

486
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:45,620
OK, a white. 
Man and buried in a yellow 

487
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:47,340
coffin. 
Wow. 

488
00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:50,300
Will we? 
Oh, that's a shame. 

489
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:53,740
Yes. 
It's a shame I can't go back in 

490
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:55,980
time now we can't. 
It would be bad to fake. 

491
00:24:56,260 --> 00:25:01,580
Us going, oh wow. 
Yeah, we can, Luke. 

492
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,460
I think we need another bit of a
break from the other rats. 

493
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,520
That's perfect. 
I have no Riddle for you. 

494
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,960
A white man died and buried in a
yellow coffin. 

495
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,880
Is that someone who is jaundice 
maybe or something? 

496
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,200
What a dead man, Yellow. 
And it's failing health. 

497
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,400
It's banana A. 
Banana. 

498
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,680
It's a banana. 
I didn't think there'd be many 

499
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,080
banana words on. 
Is that going to change the way 

500
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,160
you think of a banana now when 
you're eating this? 

501
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,160
White man died in here. 
I don't know how. 

502
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,640
Who thought that? 
Some freak thought that up. 

503
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,280
I don't like thinking about 
bananas that way. 

504
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,880
As you can imagine, there aren't
a lot of banana stories on 

505
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,280
dukas. 
Yeah, I wonder when the banana 

506
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,000
came to Ireland. 
I'd love to know, man, because 

507
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,480
it's so yellow, isn't it? 
It would scare us. 

508
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,560
I'm not quite sure about this. 
A man answered the door once and

509
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,440
there was a banana. 
Do you want to know? 

510
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,040
So I. 
Watched Bananas in Pajamas for 

511
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520
the first time 2 nights ago. 
It's kind of scary, isn't it? 

512
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,120
It's a little bit creepy. 
The bananas are creepier than I 

513
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:09,840
pitched in pajamas. 
Yeah, I was always frightened by

514
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,000
the intro bananas and pajamas. 
I like the intro. 

515
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,360
It's cartoon. 
When they're coming down the 

516
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:18,000
stairs, they're coming down the 
when I was younger, men and I 

517
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,600
used to go down the stairs at 
night. 

518
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,080
I'd always run fast because I 
always thought there was 

519
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,200
something right. 
Oh yeah, that's. 

520
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,400
That's true though, man, that's 
scientifically proven. 

521
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,080
I feel the same whenever I turn 
the light. 

522
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,440
When you know the last minute 
you have to turn on. 

523
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Yeah, you run somewhere. 
Do you know what I do now? 

524
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,280
Even still, when I'm at home, 
when I come out of the bathroom,

525
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,480
I turn off the bathroom light 
and I back into my room so I 

526
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,000
don't turn my back on the 
hallway. 

527
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,160
Isn't that crazy? 
This is why Americans have guns,

528
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,440
man. 
I'm glad they don't give it to 

529
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,280
us. 
You're right, dude. 

530
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,800
I'd have picked it out for 
random reasons. 

531
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,520
We need to, we need to get guns 
in this. 

532
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Country so that I can walk 
Cassidy from the back into my 

533
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,320
room with my dude. 
So I read through there was 

534
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,320
about there was 59 stories with 
the word banana in it on dukas 

535
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,160
and I read every single one of 
them and they were commonly the 

536
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,920
word banana was in list of 
riddles. 

537
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,200
There was 4 riddles that I came 
across over and over and over 

538
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,040
and over again about bananas. 
You heard the first one there 

539
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,360
about the coffin. 
Here's the second one, which I 

540
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,440
saw 30 times. 
It came from. 

541
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,400
All over the country is always 
bananas. 

542
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,920
No, dude. 
All right, why is the letter F 

543
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,560
like a banana skin? 
Please, pray tell, because they 

544
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,000
both make all fall well. 
My banana fell. 

545
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,400
So they're not make all four. 
Yeah, it's clever, isn't it? 

546
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960
Ah, sorry I didn't. 
Really fully gasp if you put F 

547
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,480
with the all at fall. 
I just had it replayed in my 

548
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,680
mind, man, like a gift. 
My banana, It was quite sad, 

549
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,240
man. 
And your banana was called 

550
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,040
Chiquita Jackie. 
It was a Chiquita. 

551
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:52,160
I think those are from where 
they from. 

552
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320
The chiquitas. 
Tis one of the one of those 

553
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,720
brothers out east. 
Bananas we used to be. 

554
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,440
We used to be. 
We aged them. 

555
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,920
Here, we get them from green to 
yellow. 

556
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,840
We get them on. 
It's nitrogen that does that, 

557
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,280
isn't it? 
Isn't it a thing that bananas 

558
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,800
leave off their own little gas 
there that ripens everything 

559
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,880
around them? 
So you shouldn't keep bananas at

560
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,560
any other of your fruit and veg.
But there's if you, if you want 

561
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
to, if you're a young man and 
you want to own a job, a few 

562
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,200
bananas in the bed. 
You wake up with beard. 

563
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:27,240
And I'll try that out. 
I look for tomorrow. 

564
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,920
I'll sleep with a load of 
bananas, green bananas tonight 

565
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,280
and we'll see now. 
But I finally have that beard 

566
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,800
I've always wanted. 
This is another one man, very 

567
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,320
common all around the country. 
Why is a lady's jumper compared 

568
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,000
with a banana skin? 
Was you just tear it off? 

569
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,520
I don't know. 
Like what? 

570
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,600
No, the answer is because they 
are both easy to slip on. 

571
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,240
You kept going? 
Yeah. 

572
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,360
Wow. 
Don't want to slip on, I know 

573
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,040
it's quite. 
Interesting. 

574
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,040
It's quite hard to get a banana 
skin back on a banana. 

575
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,600
That's what I know. 
You slip on my. 

576
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Answer for why? 
Are you know very hard to take 

577
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,120
something back? 
No, you very hard to put the 

578
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,760
banana skin back on. 
You slip on the banana skin. 

579
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,080
No, you don't. 
Oh, slip on. 

580
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480
Yeah, no you don't. 
I slipped on a banana skin once.

581
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,600
I went to lend to the room of my
own, of my real lunch room in 

582
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880
school and. 
Because there was no clatter. 

583
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Nobody saw me, so I slipped like
I was skiing. 

584
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,320
I bet there was no sound. 
Man, I looked. 

585
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,640
Yeah, and wood floors and I 
looked around like, did anyone 

586
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,080
you know, like most impressive 
thing. 

587
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,240
I was very awkward, you know, as
you can imagine, by knowing the 

588
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,160
met a lot of mistakes in school 
that were funny mistakes I'd 

589
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,240
imagine laugh at. 
But that one was. 

590
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,240
It was still a mistake, but it 
was like a proud mistake. 

591
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,280
And did anybody witnesses like? 
Me as a child? 

592
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,520
No. 
I even notice it. 

593
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,120
No, I came over and it's lame, I
said. 

594
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,560
I just slipped on a banana peel,
like it's not that impressive. 

595
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,080
I'm so sad. 
Kids are ruthless, aren't they? 

596
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,360
I wish I could have tried it 
again. 

597
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,920
I'd love to set it up, I'm sure.
Mythbusters. 

598
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400
This one is the same version of 
that last one. 

599
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680
Please why is a banana skin like
a loose coat? 

600
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,720
It's the same. 
They're both easy to slip on. 

601
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,840
There you go, Here we go. 
Dude. 

602
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,400
Question what kind of leather 
makes the best boots? 

603
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,080
Answer I don't know, but banana 
skins make the best slippers. 

604
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:37,080
That's that's that's bad. 
When we go back to rats, I like 

605
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,720
rats, men, I like rats. 
Do you want to hear how they cut

606
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,920
the rats back in the day? 
This one's a mad story. 

607
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,440
Now there was a man called a 
prayer rack and sometimes the 

608
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,600
cup tosser. 
He was a renowned rat catcher in

609
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,320
the townlands around ballied 
off. 

610
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,560
When a farmer was very troubled 
with rats he would send for on 

611
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,440
prayer rack. 
He would come to the farmer and 

612
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,440
would be well fed by him. 
After a few days of examining 

613
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,680
the farm, he would make a sugon 
of straw about 20 feet in 

614
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,000
length. 
He used to make a kind of 

615
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,400
ointment called honesty. 
This stuff had a powerful smell.

616
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,920
He would smear the sugan with 
honesty, and when the sugan 

617
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200
would be well quoted he would 
catch one in the bit in his hand

618
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,320
and the rest would be left trail
along the ground. 

619
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,200
He would then whistle three 
times and begin moving from 

620
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,320
farmer to farm yard, walk the 
fields, and walk a long 

621
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,240
distance, then from the farmer's
land by whom he had been 

622
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,400
employed, sometimes 6 to 10 
miles. 

623
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Then he would make a shortcut to
the nearest river, trailing his 

624
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,120
sugan behind him and followed by
hundreds of rats. 

625
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,960
On reaching the river he would 
either throw the sugan into the 

626
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,760
river or buried near the river. 
He would then slip away himself,

627
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,880
the rats remaining around the 
place where the smell of the 

628
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,000
sugan would be. 
In a few days hundreds of rats 

629
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,040
would be drowned or perished 
with hunger. 

630
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,040
I'd. 
Love to see that. 

631
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,560
Well, I don't know. 
Mad, isn't it? 

632
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,320
And if the farmer who employed 
the prayer had any spite of a 

633
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,400
neighboring farmer, the prayer 
would lead the rats to this 

634
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,480
farmer and would bury the sou 
gone on his land. 

635
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,920
It's very like the the old 
flutist or whatever. 

636
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,360
It's funny that you mention that
because we have a rat charmer 

637
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,560
story as well. 
But don't get too ahead of your 

638
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,040
horses here. 
The rats would gather there in 

639
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,400
their hundreds and would do 
great destruction on potatoes, 

640
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,200
man goals and corn and would 
undermine wolves. 

641
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,240
Don't ask too many questions 
left. 

642
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,320
What are man goals? 
Those are my man goals next. 

643
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,520
Next year I want to be a better 
man. 

644
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,440
Are we really silly man goals? 
They sound like a flower. 

645
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Man goals. 
Whoa, mangle, Vertal or man Gold

646
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,160
is a root. 
It's like a beat. 

647
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120
A root crop thing. 
Yeah, there you are. 

648
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:08,160
Can I read Mickey Do Man Mickey 
free? 

649
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,400
A man who lived near Scrying, 
namely Mickey Free, was a 

650
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,440
drunkard. 
Sometimes they really gossip, 

651
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,040
don't they? 
Imagine it was only five years 

652
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,880
ago or something. 
He's an awful lot of gossip on 

653
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,600
dukas, man. 
Some people are getting roasted 

654
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,240
like. 
Yeah, he drank all his money and

655
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,560
he would not go to Mass or the 
sacraments. 

656
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,720
It was the month of October. 
I just can't imagine drinking 

657
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,240
Penny. 
Sorry. 

658
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,200
It was the month of October, and
he's drinking flavors. 

659
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,080
He just cut the drink out 
altogether. 

660
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,920
But then it was the month of 
October and he would not speak. 

661
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Yeah, yeah, love, he's drinking 
on. 

662
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,080
When they brought the punt and 
he was, yeah, yeah, it was the 

663
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,120
month of October. 
And he would not say the rosary 

664
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,360
with his wife. 
And she complained about him to 

665
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,040
the priest. 
The priest said to her that he 

666
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960
would come some night and say 
the rosary. 

667
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080
When the priest arrived, Mickey 
was at home. 

668
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,960
They started the rosary. 
When they were nearly finished, 

669
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,840
Mickey saw a rat coming down a 
rope from the loft and he 

670
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,000
laughed to drinking quarters. 
When they were finished, the 

671
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,760
priest asked Mickey why. 
He laughed and he said a pious 

672
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,480
rat for want of stairs came down
this rope to say his prayers 

673
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,320
went on the ground. 
He bent his knee, he made poor 

674
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Mickey say, and that is really 
fun. 

675
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,480
That was collected by Isa Ida 
Harlan Ida Harlan and Where's 

676
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,760
She From? 
She's from Assy County Meath. 

677
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,320
Go on either man. 
That's a great story. 

678
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,320
And also Mickey Free. 
It's like Ireland's version of 

679
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:40,840
Free Willy. 
We read our story about rats. 

680
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,040
I know we don't have another one
about rats. 

681
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,199
Oh, I love rats. 
Oh, we're big fans of rats in 

682
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,679
this house. 
Sure, they're everywhere. 

683
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:53,719
Look at them. 
Anyway, the rats are. 

684
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Twas a moonlight nice, and this 
man was going home from a gamble

685
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,680
at the hill. 
Twas late enough and the moon 

686
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,880
was high, and the gambler could 
see a good ways along the road 

687
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,440
in front of him. 
Well, if he could, there was a 

688
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,920
man coming against him, and 
something like as if it was a 

689
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,200
flock of sheep a little behind 
him. 

690
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Twas that white and fleecy. 
Well, begor I'm not the only man

691
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,800
on the road. 
Anyway, says the gambler to 

692
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,600
himself, and he and he coming on
to the other man. 

693
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,600
As soon as they came up to one 
another, the gambler spoke to 

694
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,560
the man and said goodnight. 
Honest man, for he took him to 

695
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,640
be a poor man that missed of his
lodging. 

696
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,400
The strange man spoke back and 
then says he honest man. 

697
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,360
Whatever you see on the road, 
pass on and take no notice. 

698
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,920
Just keep out of the way and say
nothing. 

699
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,560
And then he said goodnight and 
went on. 

700
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,720
Well, the gambler was thinking. 
What could he mean as he was 

701
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:56,040
going his Rd. chase? 
I'm just calling me Rd. by. 

702
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,640
It's my Rd. here, and only mine,
eh, when all of a sudden he saw 

703
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,800
you could go your roadway 
either, when all of a sudden he 

704
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,160
saw the fog coming up the road 
against him. 

705
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,840
There was a lot of noise, like 
the soft trotting of a pack of 

706
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,560
hands and the grunting and 
squeaking of a whole door drove 

707
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,760
of ships slips. 
It says Bamba in brackets, but I

708
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,040
presume he meant ban of like. 
Pigs, Bambas like is one of the 

709
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,480
gods. 
One of the gods, yeah. 

710
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,520
And the thick white fog of steam
rising up from the noise and it 

711
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,720
all coming towards scary. 
And the cold sweat of death came

712
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,000
out of his forehead. 
Class man. 

713
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,040
The coolest weight of death? 
But for all the fright that was 

714
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,320
on him, keep it taught himself 
what the stranger said to keep 

715
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,640
out of the way. 
And if he did, he stepped into 

716
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,240
the grass on the side of the 
road just at the beginning of 

717
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:50,440
the fog who reached him. 
The sight nearly left his eyes 

718
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,960
when he saw what was in it. 
A flock of rats and they're 

719
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,240
going like they used to drive 
pigs from early for long ago. 

720
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,320
In a tired drove where they were
pantied and grumbling and 

721
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,440
screaling, but they were going 
ahead all the time. 

722
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,960
He's rats. 
Imagine when the middle of the 

723
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,560
flock was going up past him. 
He heard a whistle back the road

724
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,520
where he met the man and the 
minute heard it the whole drove,

725
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,480
began to squeal louder and to 
trot until after a couple of 

726
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,760
minutes they were gone back the 
road and a fog. 

727
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,040
The gambler was hardly able to 
stir. 

728
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,960
But as soon as he sorry, there 
was as much of stirring. 

729
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,000
But as soon as he came to 
himself a bit, he started to 

730
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
run. 
And I'm telling you, there did 

731
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,240
not much grass grow under his 
feet until he bursted in the 

732
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:40,320
door in his own house and fell 
on a dead faint on the middle of

733
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,960
the floor. 
They threw a basin of water over

734
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,480
him and shook the holy water on 
him, And when he came to 

735
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,040
himself, he could hardly tell 
what he saw. 

736
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,440
And from that day they used to 
say that he'd go into a mouse 

737
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,000
hole from the sight of a rat. 
I'll sooner pick a mouse tour at

738
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,800
that's a great story, The Rat 
Charmer. 

739
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,760
So he probably came across one 
of those men you know, who had 

740
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,400
the shoe gone, dragging it 
behind him. 

741
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,360
He was busy working. 
He was taking the rats away from

742
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,840
one farmer and gave taking them 
elsewhere that. 

743
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,160
It's a great phrase. 
Phrase, man. 

744
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,720
There did not much grass grow 
under his feet until he burst in

745
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:16,680
the door of his own home. 
That's a great one. 

746
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,440
That's really good, very well 
written. 

747
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,560
I really liked it. 
It was. 

748
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,520
It was very, it was tough to, it
was tough to read, but in the 

749
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,760
style it was good. 
It was good. 

750
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,960
It was well written. 
It was really good version of 

751
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,080
how one would speak. 
Yes down on Do you know what 

752
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,200
man, I actually saw as well when
I so that was collected by 

753
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,440
teacher Dahi or counter wall in 
Coombe, County Limerick. 

754
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,520
The school's collection was in 
1936. 

755
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
That was the year that they they
gathered all that document. 

756
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,640
So these stories are, I would 
live great. 

757
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Story Very good story this one 
man, another rat charmer Story 

758
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,600
One time a rat charmer came from
Skahim Ranky and he moved the 

759
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,040
rats from place to place. 
He put them from crottys to 

760
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,760
condoms and from curtains to 
make carols. 

761
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:06,360
A blind rat came out from under 
a wall near curtains. 

762
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,640
The charmer put a stick in its 
mouth, and two other rats, one 

763
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,880
at each side, took hold of the 
stick in their mouths and LED 

764
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,600
the rat along. 
And that awful kind of. 

765
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:20,160
That's very nice. 
No rat left behind. 

766
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,240
Yeah, they're like military man 
like. 

767
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:26,680
Yeah, Nurse Rats. 
That was collected by Bridget 

768
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,760
Fitzgerald from skiing Naranke, 
County Tipperary. 

769
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,880
Jeez, man, I won't. 
That place still exist. 

770
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,720
The Jumping Skull, Aaron. 
That sounds a great name for, 

771
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:40,720
like, a Pirates of the 
Caribbean. 

772
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:43,720
Isn't a man something Pirates of
the Caribbean and the Jumping 

773
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:46,800
Skull one? 
That's. 

774
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,280
Funny, that's like straight to 
DVD, isn't it? 

775
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,760
ATV movie only. 
One night a man was passing a 

776
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000
graveyard. 
He heard a noise behind him. 

777
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,120
He looked around and saw his 
skull rolling around to cry on 

778
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,560
the road. 
He began to kick it. 

779
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,760
OK. 
I imagine. 

780
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,640
That's well, you see, if I saw a
skull rolling around the 1st, 

781
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,440
the first thing six is to kick 
it. 

782
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,960
No, no, that's not mine anyway. 
That was fight or flight. 

783
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,960
Must be that was someone's head,
no? 

784
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,720
But when it says like, he began 
to kick it, I imagine it's like 

785
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,640
Joe, you're walking down the 
road and there's a can and 

786
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,120
actually that's a little bit. 
That seems how he's doing it. 

787
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,320
And every time he kicked it, he 
heard the squeal. 

788
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,880
Yeah, he got a stick and he 
started to beat the skull. 

789
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,880
OK, he heard the squeals all the
time. 

790
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,880
He gave it an I hear the squeals
all the time. 

791
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,040
He gave it another kick and he 
saw something run out of it. 

792
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,920
He did a dash and it was this 
guy has not a bit of, like, 

793
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,840
safety. 
No. 

794
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,200
Let me go over and see what that
is. 

795
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Yeah, I think he's also a 
psychopath. 

796
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,040
Yeah, he made it that all right.
He made a dash out of with his 

797
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,000
stick and hit it a mighty blow, 
and stopped it. 

798
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,240
He then saw there was only a rat
that was inside. 

799
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,560
Ah, it's only a rat inside the 
human skull. 

800
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,600
Like a hamster, man. 
It needs a little more, yeah. 

801
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,800
Jesus, these grave diggers are 
getting worse rolling around 

802
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,320
these sports, man. 
No, they're not even burying 

803
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,000
them. 
The the man took the skull and 

804
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,840
threw it in over the wall of the
graveyard. 

805
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,400
It was no sooner in that it was 
out again. 

806
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,760
Oh, then the man saw a white 
object jump over the wall, sees 

807
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,080
the skull and disappear. 
Yeah, it's great. 

808
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,680
The man saw a white object jump 
over the wall. 

809
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,680
The rest of the Skellington 
where's before control my stop 

810
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,320
kicking. 
I'm in a rat. 

811
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,560
Wait, he can't see it because it
would be the skull talking. 

812
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,360
Yeah, I like that, though. 
That was collected by a woman 

813
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,960
that's called Cat. 
Kathleen. 

814
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,160
The poor, I said. 
The pair. 

815
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:50,640
The pair tower. 
And informant beyond. 

816
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:55,240
I think it's an eye, Bani, our 
fella. 

817
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,280
Bani our fella, How about that? 
80 years old. 

818
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:05,840
Thank you man. 
I might just throw cost into the

819
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,440
wind to just stop. 
Just any MSD and able to say 

820
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,920
what I be. 
Be being at the owl fella is a 

821
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:18,760
cure for ignorance. 
Yeah, that's wisdom. 

822
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,760
Did he read all about Clifton 
men? 

823
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,200
Oh, this one's a spooky one. 
Are you ready for this now? 

824
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,920
But. 
There's a bit of Clifton in this

825
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,960
at the moment. 
Do you ever notice that the same

826
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,280
sort of townlands pop up with 
the rats? 

827
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Galway is big. 
Very big, yeah. 

828
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,240
Calvin lead from can be big and 
only swear. 

829
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,880
This isn't bias. 
This isn't whenever I'm not 

830
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,960
looking for Calvin, so I'm 
actually trying to actively 

831
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,880
avoid I know what I find Calvin 
stories more than anyone else. 

832
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,480
I'd say. 
Not more. 

833
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,040
No more than any other place. 
Sorry. 

834
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:51,320
I don't know what that would be.
A great Prag, so that I find 

835
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,760
stories more than anybody else. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

836
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,720
There's Luke. 
There's no, no. 

837
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,120
I don't know what happened or 
who was. 

838
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,200
Maybe they got stuck there. 
No. 

839
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,960
You good storytelling men for 
pretty. 

840
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:07,520
Anyway, this one is called a 
drowning in a place called Kyle 

841
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,840
Moore, about 21 miles from 
Clifton. 

842
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,840
Have you ever been to Kyle 
Moore? 

843
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,080
Abbey, man, gorgeous. 
I think it's UNESCO Heritage 

844
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,480
site. 
Anyway, there once lived a rich 

845
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,080
man. 
He had a large house and many 

846
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,600
acres of land. 
In the center of his grounds 

847
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,280
there was a large lake which is 
teeming with fish. 

848
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,280
The man was very generous with 
his money, but he allowed no 

849
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,440
person to fish in his lake. 
One day, 2 poor men were caught 

850
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,280
fishing in the lake and were 
summoned for poaching. 

851
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,040
The local priest tried to induce
the man to let the two men go, 

852
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,560
but he remained firm. 
They will catch better fish than

853
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,640
you ever will, said the priest. 
If they will let them, replied 

854
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,520
the man. 
A few weeks later, the father of

855
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,200
the rich man came to pay him a 
visit. 

856
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,960
One day, the father and the son 
went fishing on the lake, while 

857
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,520
the wife went out horse riding. 
Yeah, Jesus Kyle Moore Abbey. 

858
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:08,520
Beautiful though, as the wife. 
I'm up over here to scratch me 

859
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,880
all the hanging gardens. 
Now we it's about to get there. 

860
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,600
As the wife was returning by the
lake, she met the priests and 

861
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,040
began talking to him. 
At the same time a rabbit ran 

862
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,760
across and under the horse, who 
bolted and threw his rider into 

863
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,440
the lake. 
The current bore her away before

864
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,120
the priest could act. 
A little while later the sun 

865
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,600
felt a tug on his line, but he 
could not lift it out of the 

866
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:39,800
water and the sun found himself 
face to face with his dead wife.

867
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:46,680
He was so surprised that he fell
into the lake and was drowned. 

868
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,200
Here, why is he called the Sun? 
Because the father came along 

869
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,640
there and they went on a fishing
trip. 

870
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,360
Yeah, interesting choice there. 
I always find that when you go 

871
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,760
in religious. 
When they go son and then they 

872
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,360
say the wife, sometimes I 
wonder, I've always think what 

873
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:07,880
this would be more appropriate 
to the mother. 

874
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,640
You know what I mean of the son 
doesn't make no, but it wasn't. 

875
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,080
It was his. 
It was the son's wife. 

876
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,600
All right. 
Yeah. 

877
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,880
I'm my son's wife and he's me 
Dad. 

878
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,000
It's. 
Complicated. 

879
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,000
Do you want to have a more 
spooky ones? 

880
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,760
Did you watch? 
Did you watch Spooky Ones? 

881
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:33,480
The waiter comes out to your 
table. 

882
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,240
So I have two menu. 
I have spooky ones. 

883
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,120
No kids meal ears. 
You want to cure for The Dirty 

884
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,880
mouse by because you have some 
dirty mouse. 

885
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,280
Yeah. 
OK then. 

886
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,240
Sorry, sorry, I don't need to 
say that over the podcast. 

887
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,960
Right, So the cure for The Dirty
mouse. 

888
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,400
To cure The Dirty mouse, go to a
man who never saw his father and

889
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,440
get that man to breathe into The
Dirty mouse. 

890
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,560
So when you hear the cure for 
The Dirty mouse, are you 

891
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,880
thinking it's filthy like? 
Or he's talking ramish like he's

892
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,600
using bad words? 
Oh, it's so tough, man. 

893
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Isn't this part of me thinks 
that it might be like like the 

894
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,160
man in England that told us to 
always scrape our tongue? 

895
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Oh, Alex. 
That's lads. 

896
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,800
We don't even thought that's. 
We were in the McDonald's very 

897
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,120
late one night. 
It was probably two or three. 

898
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,640
In the morning, tea and 
biscuits, 20 tea biscuits and by

899
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,200
Christ we were feeling it. 
So we got a hankering for some 

900
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,280
McDonald's in big city London. 
And big city Donald. 

901
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,440
We met this man of Indian 
descent. 

902
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,040
He was dressed so sharply, 
wasn't he? 

903
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,960
He was and a great home. 
We were like, we couldn't, but 

904
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,440
he was old enough to be, said 
Alex. 

905
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,520
Why are you out tonight? 
Yeah. 

906
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:46,520
What? 
Why have you been? 

907
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,360
And he was very chill. 
He looked like he was in 

908
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,080
McDonald's at three in the day, 
but everyone else, McDonald's at

909
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,520
3:00 in the morning, which it 
was if at best, I think. 

910
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,360
Yeah. 
And he was at karaoke, no? 

911
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,560
And, oh, he likes all that sort 
of keeper. 

912
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,240
I think he did. 
And we talked. 

913
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,200
We got much to him. 
He started. 

914
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,480
He sang like a Frank Sinatra 
number of what was it? 

915
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:14,240
It wasn't like why. 
It was like fly me, fly me to 

916
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,200
the moon. 
It was. 

917
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,480
That's funny about it, God 
loving. 

918
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,640
But he did kind of. 
He kind of like hyped up his 

919
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,040
singing. 
That wasn't bad. 

920
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,720
No, man. 
I don't know what I was 

921
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:25,640
expecting. 
Yeah, but yeah, he you asked 

922
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,360
because we figured out what age 
he was. 

923
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,440
He was in his 80s and he looked 
fantastic. 

924
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,080
And if he had a wrinkle, it was 
on his back. 

925
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,280
He had a wrinkle. 
It was on his sack. 

926
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,880
Very good. 
Not a real thing anyway, because

927
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,320
he was. 
He was out on the tone and he 

928
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,760
was so entertaining as to talk 
to. 

929
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,680
He said some racy things now, 
but all 80 year old men do 

930
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,120
unfortunately, and so I asked 
him, as I am, to do when I meet 

931
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,560
older people who are looking 
well in their. 

932
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,800
Hand Am I allowed to say those 
things? 

933
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,680
No. 
I ask permission to be racy. 

934
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,320
No, I asked him like, what's the
secret you have? 

935
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,840
And man, what did he say? 
You got to scrape your tongue. 

936
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,680
He's like all the filthy. 
Do me a favor and scrape your 

937
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,840
tongue. 
Joe and I still haven't gotten a

938
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,080
tongue scraper. 
Can I tell you much? 

939
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,800
So the way he said was like, get
a tongue scraper because you're 

940
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,320
breathing in and you're 
swallowing on that shite on your

941
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:21,240
tongue, and then you're and then
you're talking it, and then 

942
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:22,880
you're just talking shite. 
And I don't. 

943
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,120
He's right though, because he's 
talking about your soul as well.

944
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,040
It's just, you know, he's 
talking in a figurative and a 

945
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,880
metaphysical level. 
He told our a good friend of 

946
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,880
ours that the way that they 
could get around London rent was

947
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,480
just to help pay the landlord. 
And then when the landlord 

948
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,080
called and said you haven't 
paid, so yeah, I did, he really 

949
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,960
brought it up as if it was like 
life hack food. 

950
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:44,920
A fool. 
So keep. 

951
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,720
That in mind, but I think the 
scaping the tongue is great. 

952
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:49,920
And so you know what? 
I since then I have brushed my 

953
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,960
tongue. 
And you know what, man? 

954
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,480
It does get an awful lot of 
schlock. 

955
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,240
I find I have a bad gag reflex. 
Man, that's fair cure for a 

956
00:48:57,240 --> 00:49:00,040
bleeding nose. 
This is a cure for a bleeding 

957
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,280
nose. 
Put some cold thing on the back 

958
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,400
of your neck, such as a key or 
something dipped in cold water. 

959
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,680
You must hold back your head. 
After a while it will stop 

960
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,680
bleeding. 
I will believe that. 

961
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,400
Well, it's just a whole thing of
tilting your head back. 

962
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,080
Do you think the cold might 
help? 

963
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:18,960
I wonder. 
Now I get AI. 

964
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,160
I'm getting you. 
I get a bit noisy. 

965
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,720
I think my I've noticed I get a 
bit of neck pain on my nose. 

966
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,360
I could get yeah, your lymphs 
could be gone the back of your 

967
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,640
neck. 
Well, interesting dudes. 

968
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,120
Maybe they're on to something. 
What was it? 

969
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,920
Those were collected by Florence
Cavanagh from Walterstown 

970
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:35,640
County, Me. 
That's a. 

971
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Lovely name, Florence. 
Florence Cavan is a beautiful 

972
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:43,960
Florence is a lovely name. 
The mistake. 

973
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,640
Once Upon a time there was a 
gentleman, and he he kept very 

974
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,480
fond of peeping into rooms. 
That's a problem. 

975
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,600
But one morning the gentleman 
was shaving in his stocking feet

976
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,200
with a knife shaped razor. 
I don't know what other shapes 

977
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,000
there, but Mary went and peeped 
into the room. 

978
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,080
He got such a fright that the 
razor cut the top of his nose 

979
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,960
and then the razor fell and cut 
the top off one of his toes. 

980
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:18,040
He said to himself, if he would 
put it back, the base that was 

981
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,640
cut off and his and the bit that
was cut off on his toe back 

982
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,840
again, it wouldn't it. 
I presume that they left out the

983
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,120
word nose. 
He made a mistake. 

984
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,160
He just put the bit of his nose 
of his toe on his nose and the 

985
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,320
bit of his nose on his toe. 
Afterwards he used to have to 

986
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,680
take off his boots to blow his 
nose. 

987
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:42,360
That's. 
How it works. 

988
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,000
Oh my God, that's how it works, 
man. 

989
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,680
Jesus. 
And that's some sort of divine 

990
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,200
punishment for people in Windows
I He's a peeper. 

991
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,400
He deserved nothing less. 
I find it is just. 

992
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,880
I surprised I didn't happen to 
his eyes. 

993
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
I've came from Nora Harton. 
Yeah, the collector. 

994
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:01,200
She's from a port in your county
cavern and here we go, Murray. 

995
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,720
And where's a Murray from then? 
Scrappy Joe. 

996
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,120
What's madman? 
We were talking to a friend of 

997
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,000
ours of it's. 
He literally pulled up the map 

998
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,400
of Calvin. 
He's having stuff, he said. 

999
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,520
Lad. 
Have you ever, have you ever 

1000
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,200
seen Scrappy like you heard of 
Scrappy? 

1001
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,520
Yeah, I think it might be a 
mythical place to Calvin that 

1002
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,600
can't be accessed all the time. 
Scrappy. 

1003
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,560
I haven't been. 
I haven't been in Scrabby. 

1004
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,400
Only on a certain night can you 
go to Scrabby. 

1005
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,240
Very much, very much, Will I. 
This one's called the Stalker 

1006
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:30,120
Rat. 
Will you read it? 

1007
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,560
Oh, let me look him up. 
Stalker. 

1008
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,280
Rat stalker. 
You can read it, man. 

1009
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,000
So there was once a man out 
after rabbits. 

1010
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,200
From your heart he saw a rat 
trying to catch the rabbit. 

1011
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,440
He shot the rat and let the 
rabbit go. 

1012
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,280
The man came home and the rat 
after him. 

1013
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,240
The man had to go to England or 
the rat would kill him. 

1014
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,280
He went to England and when he 
was going on the ship he saw the

1015
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,160
rat jumping off the shore onto 
the ship. 

1016
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,680
So scary. 
I jump off the ship there. 

1017
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,400
When he landed in England, he 
met a man and the man asked him 

1018
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,960
was there anything troubling him
And he told him that a rat 

1019
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,680
followed him from Ireland. 
Yes. 

1020
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,800
Actually a rat. 
The man told him to go under a 

1021
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,440
big load of tin. 
Of course he went under it. 

1022
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,320
Then the rat came and tried to 
knock the tin. 

1023
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,000
The man tried to shoot him and 
he could not. 

1024
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,760
Then the man let out a dog and 
the dog was not able to kill the

1025
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,560
rat. 
Then the man came out from under

1026
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,960
the tin. 
He went on to meet a blacksmith.

1027
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,120
He asked him if he would shoot 
him and he said he would. 

1028
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,400
He got his gun and tried to hit 
the rat, but he could not. 

1029
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,880
He asked the man, had he A2 
shilling piece with the sign of 

1030
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,040
a cross on it. 
The man gave it to the 

1031
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,600
blacksmith and he made four 
halves of it. 

1032
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,760
He put them into the gun, then 
he shot the rat and before he 

1033
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,880
killed the rat, he would kill 
the man. 

1034
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,280
He said rat really nicely there 
at the end. 

1035
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Rat the rat, the rat, eh man, 
Jonah was thinking when your man

1036
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,080
he met the the kindly English 
gentleman who asked him. 

1037
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:06,640
Why are you here? 
What's wrong with you? 

1038
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,320
Imagine you'd bring it up as a 
surprise. 

1039
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,000
You're not going to believe me, 
but there's a rat following me. 

1040
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,680
And he said, yeah, you and every
other Irishman that left Ireland

1041
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,000
in the rat. 
That's the It's the third story.

1042
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,480
I know another man that my wife 
was a rat follower. 

1043
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,040
It's the third story of a man 
being based intercontinentally 

1044
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,640
by a rat. 
Yeah, it's like a 

1045
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,920
internationally, only it's Leon 
should do that. 

1046
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Look, we've had a little tea 
break and I'd like to read you a

1047
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,280
scary story. 
I need that. 

1048
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,080
It's under the subject. 
Of it too calm. 

1049
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,200
It's under the subject of a rat.
But there's no rats in the 

1050
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,000
story. 
The story is called Ratat. 

1051
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,920
Rat Oh, like a ratat. 
Let me find rat tat. 

1052
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:52,320
Well, I do. 
You know what? 

1053
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:58,760
I'd like you to read this one. 
It's called rat tat, Rat tat, 

1054
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,880
Rat tat or rat tat. 
There was once a man and his 

1055
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,880
wife who were very poor. 
One day the man went into the 

1056
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,760
town and he saw a big house for 
sale. 

1057
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:16,000
It was very cheap. 
Lad, he bought big house very 

1058
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,880
cheap. 
It sets on the outside very 

1059
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,880
cheap, that's all. 
He bought it and they all 

1060
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:27,600
settled down, all two of them. 
He got everyone from the town in

1061
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,640
this house was said to be 
haunted and that is why it was 

1062
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,600
very cheap. 
The first night the man went to 

1063
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,840
bed at midnight, he heard a 
sound like a rat tat, a rat tat 

1064
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,360
coming down the corridor and 
when it came near his door, it 

1065
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,840
opened on a figure of a man 
dressed all in black came in and

1066
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,680
it swept over his face. 
Just a little sweet scary. 

1067
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,960
And the figure then went over to
the bookcase and pointed to a 

1068
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,440
book. 
And then it went away. 

1069
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,560
This one. 
This one. 

1070
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:01,640
Very good. 
You like this? 

1071
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:07,760
One wow 1984. 
It's so relevant to say people 

1072
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,840
will ever stop saying that, man.
It's it's man, I'm not going to 

1073
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,160
read it. 
I hear it's really good, but 

1074
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,440
it's all right. 
Even all annoyed the whole, and 

1075
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,280
I tell you it's all right, it's 
it's about twice as long as it 

1076
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,080
should be. 
In the morning, the man did not 

1077
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,480
tell his wife because if he did,
she would go. 

1078
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,040
Oh, you don't have to harbor 
that guilt. 

1079
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:28,960
Or just to hide the fact that 
the has he swanned? 

1080
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,080
And he's quiet. 
You're looking off about it. 

1081
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,080
No, no, fine. 
Don't touch that box. 

1082
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:38,000
It's scary. 
The next night at midnight the 

1083
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,360
same, Your face is looking awful
clean, like someone swept it 

1084
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,240
speaking out. 
The next night, at midnight, the

1085
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:48,200
same thing happened. 
In the morning, he went to a 

1086
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,040
priest and told him all about 
it. 

1087
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,040
The priest said that if he would
come again to say in the name of

1088
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,000
God, what do you want? 
In the name of God, what do you 

1089
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,120
want? 
That's a good prayer, most 

1090
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,920
powerful prayer. 
And if he comes after that, I 

1091
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,840
will go myself, is what the 
priest says. 

1092
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:08,960
He's like technical 
difficulties. 

1093
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,640
Turn out, you know, say that, 
and if that doesn't work out, 

1094
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:14,640
I'll come out danger. 
The man went home on the third 

1095
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,480
night it came and the man said 
in the name of God, what do you 

1096
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,400
want? 
The wife's supposed to say, and 

1097
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,040
the figure did not answer. 
He said it again and it did not 

1098
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,560
answer. 
He said it again and the figure 

1099
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:34,200
said one day when I was hearing 
confessions and I came in who 

1100
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:39,880
was a famed and he wrote it down
on a bit of paper and I said I 

1101
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,720
would look at it then at all 
when I was at home should I 

1102
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:49,120
forgot and now I'm something. 
Oh, will you please give it to 

1103
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:50,040
me? 
No. 

1104
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,200
The man in the bed said I will 
give it to you in the morning 

1105
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:55,840
and but the priest said give it 
now. 

1106
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,000
The man gave it to him. 
And he was never seen again. 

1107
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,200
Kind of funny that, he said. 
I'll give it to you. 

1108
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,520
It's sleepy. 
He's so haunted he went to the 

1109
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,720
police. 
Ah, sure to wait. 

1110
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,400
Well, it's also, I suppose, this
whole story man is about 

1111
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,400
Funnily, Isn't it funny? 
Has a few messages in it. 

1112
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,240
One He didn't tell his wife. 
Didn't tell his wife. 

1113
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,760
But then, weirdly, I found it 
interesting that the the Sinner 

1114
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,840
didn't tell the priest his 
thing. 

1115
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,560
He put it on a bit of paper and 
the priest told the man he would

1116
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,280
readers and didn't. 
It's a bit much. 

1117
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,160
I'll listen, I go home. 
But a priest? 

1118
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,280
I don't know. 
That's all right with a voice 

1119
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,520
note or something, but like if 
you're given a priest to 

1120
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,720
confess, you will not ask. 
It might be dark in the box. 

1121
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,480
Yeah, you're right, man. 
So what about? 

1122
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,720
What are you taking from us? 
And I think FOB and stuff off is

1123
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,240
what I was trying to like. 
Maybe pushing things like even 

1124
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,320
it's a bit funny the in bed go 
sitting in front of them. 

1125
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080
I'll give you the good for it 
tomorrow. 

1126
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,240
It's like you seize the moment. 
Do it now like. 

1127
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,040
And beautiful name incoming Nora
Shoga. 

1128
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,760
And she's from outer art and got
to go away. 

1129
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,760
Yeah, we always see that and I 
always confused by that one. 

1130
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:04,800
And I've been to yes, yes, yes. 
The pledge. 

1131
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,480
You're saying the pledge I was 
made take the pledge. 

1132
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:08,440
So was I. 
And. 

1133
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,280
I was brought into, they didn't 
tell us. 

1134
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,320
They brought us for a school 
mass and then they brought us 

1135
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,880
into the hall and there's a go 
in, my mom's a go in Luke into 

1136
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,880
this room and we went in and 
then the next thing we were 

1137
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,200
taking the pledge. 
No way you were tricked into it.

1138
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,280
I wasn't told about it. 
We were told about it and we all

1139
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,400
talk it and I say every single 
one of us broke it to be honest.

1140
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,040
And we only, we only. 
I took it in when I was maybe 

1141
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,520
11. 
I'm sure I hadn't broke by 16 

1142
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,320
by. 
I was already breaking it. 

1143
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,320
No, I'm joking. 
I wasn't, No. 

1144
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,720
Yeah. 
A lot of people I remember find 

1145
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:38,440
it. 
Yeah, a lot of people. 

1146
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,000
I couldn't have put 16 down, but
a lot of a few heads put 16 

1147
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,400
down. 
It's funny because you can put 

1148
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:46,400
the. 
Age, Yeah. 

1149
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,120
And I always thought it was 20. 
One, why wouldn't you put it 

1150
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:50,720
down, 18 and you're like, you're
dead Rice. 

1151
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:51,880
That. 
Let me put that down now. 

1152
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,080
Right. 
That way you're dead right. 

1153
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,760
Yeah, I don't want to anyway. 
The pledge, the pledge. 

1154
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,960
There was a man once, and he 
could not keep the pledge. 

1155
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,320
His wife went to the parish 
priest and she said, you must 

1156
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,280
give my husband a terrible 
punishment because he has broken

1157
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,640
the pledge again. 
Again, the priest said send them

1158
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,920
to me. 
The priest said send them to me 

1159
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,960
10 feet tall. 
She sent him to the priest and 

1160
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,800
the priest gave him the pledge 
and said if you break the bed 

1161
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,640
again, I will turn you into a 
lot. 

1162
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,800
I love this priest. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1163
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,640
And Father, Father, Colossus. 
His name for the Paris Father 

1164
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,080
Colossus. 
Father Title Colossus. 

1165
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:37,080
Father Titan anyway, the man. 
The man did not break, for he 

1166
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,360
has to eat to begat his 
communion anyway. 

1167
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,760
The man did not drink for a 
number of weeks, but one day he 

1168
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,000
met a friend and was forced into
the pub. 

1169
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,320
She had a friend. 
Happens. 

1170
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:51,840
Man, I've met a friend. 
Sure, met a friend. 

1171
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,520
What else is like to do? 
I like it. 

1172
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,000
He made one. 
I made a friend. 

1173
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,920
We had to go for a drink. 
The man went home drunk, and 

1174
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,000
when he was a while at home he 
thought of what he had done and 

1175
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,520
he said to his wife, if you see 
me getting small and hairy, for 

1176
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,560
God's sake, put out the cat. 
That's gas. 

1177
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,360
So good man, isn't that so good?
I want that stitch done like, 

1178
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,320
you know, laugh, love. 
Yeah, yeah, it would. 

1179
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,280
No contest if you see, if you 
see me. 

1180
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,200
The cat That was really good 
story. 

1181
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,880
It was collected by Mary 
Connolly of Ballymore, County 

1182
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:26,320
Tipperary, and he she collected 
it from Mr. Connolly. 

1183
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,600
There must have been a Connolly 
going around everywhere 

1184
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,920
servicing people. 
Sorry, that's very rude, but 

1185
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,800
there's a lot of Connolly. 
There is a lot of he was. 

1186
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:43,560
Like Pat Muster, this was one 
man. 

1187
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,080
I found that it was on paper and
I had to type it down myself. 

1188
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,560
Am I great? 
I really appreciate that. 

1189
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,920
A man from this parish went to 
the Barber at Kinmere. 

1190
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,160
The man was very nervous as the 
Barber was shaving him quickly. 

1191
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,640
He caught a pimple on his face. 
The Barber rubbed more soap and 

1192
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,160
his face was covered in soap and
blood. 

1193
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,560
The man looked at the mirror and
the Barber, still holding the 

1194
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,160
razor in his hand, asked did he 
want anything on his face? 

1195
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,720
For God's sake, Sir, leave the 
nose on. 

1196
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:21,000
The nose stays on. 
Do you know what's funny, man? 

1197
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,440
That story made that was 
connected by Dear Middle who 

1198
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,440
live on Great day Kenny. 
I'm a I'm a complimentary of the

1199
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,760
names today. 
Yeah, everybody. 

1200
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:29,880
You like the names? 
Nice. 

1201
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,560
That story made me think of the 
fact that one barbers, yes, they

1202
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,520
stood in the past two pimples. 
The word pimple, pimple. 

1203
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,040
Seems like such an American, 
doesn't it? 

1204
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,560
I wonder when pimples came to 
Ireland. 

1205
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,720
I thought it came over on the 
boat. 

1206
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,200
Do you want to hear a story 
about the Dylan's? 

1207
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:52,520
I'd love to. 
Long ago, a big rat used to 

1208
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:57,360
follow the Dylan's Dylan shot 
the rat, and from that day to 

1209
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,200
this, the rat is on the 
tombstone where he's buried in 

1210
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,000
Jermaine Graveyard. 
You see some rats on tombstones,

1211
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,560
as in Chilean, or they're like a
part of it. 

1212
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,560
They're carved into a carved. 
Interesting. 

1213
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,440
You see, sometimes it used to be
a popular thing to carve in how 

1214
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,880
they died, which I find really 
weird. 

1215
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,760
There's there's a grave near me 
at home, and it has, it says 

1216
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,480
like killed by horse and like a 
carving of a whoa, that's like 

1217
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,040
the one man remember when he 
read the story about the Dovar 

1218
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,880
coup? 
That Dovar coup was meant to be 

1219
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,080
on those dead couples 
gravestones as well. 

1220
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,400
How are you? 
No, I'm joking. 

1221
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,600
I'm good man. 
Life's happening all the time. 

1222
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,720
And by Christ, I hope it never 
stops. 

1223
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:44,840
That's this was an interesting 
one to be for those rats, yeah. 

1224
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,920
And noses were there. 
And bananas. 

1225
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,640
Bananas were only slightly there
because, realistically, bananas 

1226
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,440
didn't come to Ireland. 
If you submission didn't come 

1227
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,600
up, it's because it's such a 
good and broad and. 

1228
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,680
Ballsy topic that we need to do 
a whole episode, Yeah, or it'll 

1229
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,360
be featured elsewhere, Don't you
worry. 

1230
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,600
We have other words such as 
dance. 

1231
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:04,400
Oh yeah, we didn't want to go 
mad. 

1232
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:11,040
Mad treachery. 
Lakes of Carbon Pattern Day. 

1233
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,840
Rat tidbits. 
Rat tidbits. 

1234
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,400
So me and Aaron, we have, that's
what I essentially was saying, 

1235
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:19,840
well fit. 
We'll have a story to finish 

1236
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,080
that. 
Before we do that, we'll just 

1237
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,080
look at a few rats and yes, 
change it up a bit. 

1238
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,040
Let's change it up. 
We've been talking. 

1239
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:31,440
We've been talking too much. 
Let's talk about rats, go Sorry.

1240
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:37,040
Oh, is this how it's going to be
always in the water and always 

1241
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,240
very dry? 
A water rat, but never have 

1242
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,920
guessed it. 
It is supposed that there is 

1243
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,920
poison in an asses bite. 
I've been bitten by many nurse, 

1244
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:52,040
by Christ I've been poisoned. 
It is supposed that there is 

1245
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,320
poison in an ass's bite or a 
cat's lick. 

1246
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,120
I was heartbroken. 
I have gotten the asses bite. 

1247
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,360
Since then I've been suffering 
from Willy doubt. 

1248
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,560
She came into the room like a 
bullet. 

1249
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:12,000
It is supposed that there is 
poison in an ass's bite, or a 

1250
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,560
cat's bite, or a scrape or a 
weasels or a rat's bite. 

1251
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,200
It is supposed that there is a 
curse on Janet's because they do

1252
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,400
not breed. 
It is also supposed that rabbits

1253
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,240
and hares sleep with their eyes 
open. 

1254
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:31,680
It is not right to kill a swan. 
If the leaves of the elder are 

1255
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,880
strewn upon each layer of 
sheaves as they are set in the 

1256
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:39,120
stack, no rat will go near the 
stack, and I know that to be 

1257
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,040
true. 
I love that. 

1258
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,120
I love my. 
Story and there's not a bit. 

1259
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,720
I know that to be true. 
There was a woman who was a 

1260
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,320
great miser. 
The only thing she ever gave 

1261
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,520
away in her life was a kilo of 
milk that a rat had fallen into,

1262
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,560
and she died. 
She was seen every night in the 

1263
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,040
dairy drinking the milk in the 
form of a rat. 

1264
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:04,480
Damn, it's lucky to see a rat 
cross the road, but if he goes 

1265
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,440
halfway and turns back, it is 
unlucky. 

1266
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,200
Yeah, you don't want a hesitant 
rat, no hesitant rat, bad vibe. 

1267
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,280
It is said that led with the 
landlord that was living in 

1268
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:19,080
Ledwitt's town, aptly named 
House, used to give 2 pence to 

1269
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,920
anyone who would give him the 
tale of a rat. 

1270
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,400
At that time, rats were 
plentiful and he wanted to get 

1271
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:32,360
rid of them. 
Let's thanks for listening, but 

1272
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,800
we'll read one more story for 
all you sinners out there. 

1273
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:36,600
Are you ready? 
Yes. 

1274
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,640
This one's called wrong deeds 
and they're just punishments. 

1275
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,760
Take this with you and think 
about it hard. 

1276
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,880
Now, if if you're if you've 
been, if you're a Sinner, 

1277
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,360
wrongdoing is very often 
punished by Almighty God, even 

1278
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,520
in this world. 
Often, too, the wrongdoers are 

1279
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,040
punished by him severely for 
their actions. 

1280
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,600
Many instances of God's anger 
towards the wildest are recorded

1281
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,200
here and there throughout the 
country. 

1282
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,480
God seems to deal with 
punishment quickly and severely 

1283
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:11,320
to those who offend or insult 
his special servants, namely the

1284
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,200
Karaji. 
A particular instance in this 

1285
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,320
locality is that of a man who 
was always fighting with and 

1286
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:22,160
abusing priests. 
On one occasion he beat a priest

1287
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:27,160
savagely, and as he had his hand
raised to strike him again, the 

1288
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,160
priest commanded him to stay his
hand. 

1289
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,640
The man's hand remained to his 
nose and it is related in good 

1290
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,640
authority that in that position 
his hand remained until his 

1291
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:42,120
dying hour that was collected by
Vincent Denini, Coronary County.

1292
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,960
Kevin Vincent's God Fearing I'd 
say stay. 

1293
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:47,280
Your hand. 
It's a funny way. 

1294
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,560
Stay. 
Stay your hand as he battering 

1295
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,240
the head off, your teeth flying 
all over, nose bloody. 

1296
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:58,520
I suck it, Luke. 
We sat in a room there and spent

1297
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,360
an awful long time talking. 
I don't know if I know you 

1298
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,640
better, Aaron, but I certainly 
know rats, Luke. 

1299
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,040
If anything, we'd say I know 
you're worse. 

1300
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,400
Happy brains or rats? 
Again, listen, guys, listen. 

1301
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,160
So much for listening. 
Thanks for listening. 

1302
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:14,520
Yeah, I don't need to tell you 
to listen. 

1303
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:15,560
You've been doing that for a 
good while. 

1304
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,240
You have. 
Thing I've been trying to ask. 

1305
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:18,640
I hate doing it guys, but go on,
Joe. 

1306
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,200

really important on the podcast

wouldn't be doing it. 

1325
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,800
It wasn't good crack. 
No, boy, Luke. 

1326
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,320
Thank you. 
Thank you. 

1327

Thank you, man. 
For enjoying I enjoy this.

I've I've had a thoroughly 
enjoyable time here. 

1329
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,240
I feel revitalized. 
In this rat stand that we've 

1330
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,520
been recording, they're getting 
closer and I'm not afraid. 

1331
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,200
Yeah, they're in around my 
ankles. 

1332
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:23,840
They're biting. 
But I like it. 

1333
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,279
It's too. 
Late they're sitting beside the 

1334
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:27,520
fire and it's quite cute. 
I think they've got the dinner 

1335
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,399
on. 
All right guys, eh? 

1336
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:34,200
Wherever you are, remember a rat
is probably about I will just 

1337
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,359

There's one pulling you by the

hair.
