Oh the moment where Alan is in tears at 26:04 KILLS ME WITH JOY HAHAHA

You know out of context this is quite a sinister line.

i found a wallet full of cash when i was a boy and was concerned that someone couldnt pay rent if they lost that much money, so i found their address and gave it back to a little old lady with tear stained red eyes who could not believe her luck. i felt ten foot tall at 12 years old,

[@zapkvr]

I feel better just knowing you are in the world. Thank you

[@golphcartsos5338]

I lost my wallet at university and a professor sent an email that he had my wallet. There was $400 in it... can't remember why, but I gave him $40... how could I not? He didn't want to take it either but I insisted.

[@luminousfractal420]

That makes up for my handing a twenty into the police, and having them steal it 😂 nice one for being nice 👍

Bill Bailey running backwards looks like possessed hobbit.

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

The marathon story sounds like a real world version of the Hare and the Tortoise.

[@kevc6115]

The Google improved running clip reminds me of Phoebe Buffet and Rachel running in the park in Friends.

[@quokka0.0nraven]

So right... you get the award! I knew it reminded me of something 😂😂

[@LG-uv3lh]

That was my first thought too. The computer watched too much friends

Theramin made the Star Trek theme.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Not according to some info on the mighty Internet, but I'm not sure what is right.

[@Tenebrio_molitor1]

Erm, isn't her name Olga Koch?

[@Captain_Tumbleweed]

Somebody went rogue and changed her name ;)

[@jazzun1]

That is correct

[@Legionmint7091]

When I was in the Soviet Union in 1986 there were Pepsi and Fanta, the latter owned by Coca Cola. The soda trucks didn’t even have time delivering to the stores so the bottles were sold on the street straight from the truck bed. People came rushing from everywhere with bags. You may think it was black market but it turned out it wasn’t.

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

Fanta was invented by the Nazis.

[@felinetherapy4782]

Cliff! I remember at school doing the Cliff run. Dead set legend.

[@chris...9497]

'Counterfeit crank' is, I think, derived from the German 'krank', which means 'sick' ('krankenhaus' means 'hospital'), so it literally means 'faking illness'.

[@thomthom6268]

Bill: genuinely good. And people are. TY people.

[@quokka0.0nraven]

"I've been given strange things, usually results in penicillin"😂😂 oh Sandi 41:09 "A trouser filler" Bill makes me laugh, constantly 😂😅 9:41 "You said that like that made sense"😂 Alan is too funny. Did anyone try running like Alan or Bill?😂😂

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

We run with bent arms for balance.

[@magster6022]

Yes, and impetus.

[@timfriday9106]

they figured out how rogue waves work now. ;)

[@Maya_Pinion]

Loved that ticked off girlfriend in a tank story. Excellent.

[@landonfolken03]

In the Army we had a lot of guys run with their hands/arms down as much as possible because of the efficiency. Not locked straight but hanging down fairly loosely. Conversely, you could just Naruto run with your arms behind you.

[@sweetsyerra]

Her name is Olga Koch.

[@zapkvr]

In the US they would pronounce it coke

[@outistynnanyt5153]

​@@zapkvr regardless, its not _spelled_ "cock" like in the video title

Have we got an air date for series U

[@jimmyholloway8527]

David Mitchell has been on at minimum 50 episodes of this show and no one threw him a bone when the "Upstart Crow" factoid popped up? That's why it's called Show "Business", right?

[@grantmcinnes1176]

Yeah. That was a bit weird. I wonder why. I mean the shows are channel mates. Not in competition. Mitchell seems like a reasonable guy.

[@zapkvr]

​@@grantmcinnes1176Upstart crow was bloody terrible.

[@andersbylund2753]

Olga is so wonderful, i love women so much!

[@hannahbrown2728]

Saint Olga also "accepted" a few marriage proposals from the same people who had killed her husband and killed the people that showed up. One by carrying their whole boat to a pit, tossing them in, and burning them. The other by burning down a building they got locked in IIRC

[@Tryo707]

I had not heard that part about the burned down building, thanks for sharing!

[@ghomerhust]

her story is absolutely chaotic, but also fantastic

[@flygirlfly]

Went full John Wick on them, didn't she?😂

[@СонікАндерграунд]

She was a regent of Kievan Rus (not Russia, btw) and she also was the first ruler to become christian. She was supposed to marry a ruler of Byzantine Empire, because he was obsessed with her and wanted to have more territories. But Olha was very wise and new she shouldn't marry him, so she asked him to baptize her. After that she said that sadly, he cannot marry her, as he became her godfather.

[@Laudon1228]

The Theremin featured extensively in the classic Star Trek theme. I don’t know about the silicon that condims are made from now, but rubber dries out. Ever go to use an old rubber band and it just snaps? I’ve actually had some crumble.

[@quokka0.0nraven]

Facts- most males in America force women to use birth control and know nothing about condoms because they won't wear them. Not sure where you're from😂

[@Gerryjournal]

When I worked in the theatre in Australia we had an American ballet visit. Their wardrobe used vodka for cleaning. When they ran out the wardrobe mistress went to buy more at a local outlet and came back empty handed and in shock. Alcohol is about ten times the price in Australia

[@Kiina312]

Yeah it’s a wonder any of us Aussies can afford to be drunk 🤣

[@ev6558]

This is absolutely made up. Even though drinking alcohol is more expensive in Australia, it's also more expensive in the US than denatured alcohol is, which is what ANY American would use for cleaning instead of the much more expensive alcohol intended for consumption. Maybe if you said Russia this would be believable, not America.

[@Gerryjournal]

@ev6558 well, look here. I've been called a liar. I do hate to disappoint but it is absolutely true. Maybe you should learn a little. Could be useful

[@Kiwi-ICU-RN]

There were a huge number of Russian women who fought - especially a snipers.

[@whispersmith]

And the night witches

[@jessicajayes8326]

People are always thinking of new ways of running! Naruto fans:

[@johnburnside7828]

Very surprised Sandi didn't know what a theramin is. Somebody should have mentioned the movie "Forbidden Planet".

[@johnburnside7828]

I don't think that would have helped, the suggestion to mention the original Star Trek theme would be better.

[@ghomerhust]

rogue wave: my mostly uneducated guess has to do with fluid dynamics and wave frequencies, and the weather, temps, and currents all have a part to play in creating these waves. sort of when multiple waves pile over each other, compiling their height and power. not random, but rare enough that it would feel random, because of how many different factors would play into it.

[@Tasarran]

Was just going to post almost the same thing. Waves add up; if you have enough waves bouncing around for enough time, you're going to have some freak points where all the factors align perfectly. It's sort of like evolution, enough random mutation over a long enough time, and you're occasionally going to roll all sixes...

[@luminousfractal420]

Thats how powerlines/cell signals are rated safe. They dont account for wave amplification in hotspots. They only test source power.

[@magster6022]

And the shape of the ocean floor?

*Beer was food* until 2008 here in Bulgaria

[@ghomerhust]

in mediaeval times, beer was drunk more than water because water was often not safe to drink. but the process of MAKING the beer made it safe to drink.

If there’s a lot of money you think they might be a mafia member and you don’t want to steal from them

[@markloveless1001]

I saw where Alan was going with "Was there any form of self-mutilation involved?". I had the same thought. The Vikings raided a nunnery in the 9th century - the tale goes the nuns cut off their noses to prevent rape. So the Vikings sealed the door and burned the place down. That is not considered to be the origin of idiom (I just learned to my chagrin).

[@bartman999]

Koch. The name is Koch.

[@shermoore1693]

Minute 35: Sandi says that books "cannot be eaten". If this were true there would be no need to put bats in the library. She goes on to stress "these books cannot be eaten" - same thing. If the books cannot be eaten the problem would not exist. I think she meant "these books must not be eaten". English can be weird but words do have a meaning.

[@thecanticleofcrom4787]

Meaning + fluidity and context.

[@shermoore1693]

-fluidity would not be lost if she had said "must not be eaten". As for context I see no particular connection. @@thecanticleofcrom4787

[@vink6163]

The implication is that they cannot be eaten by a human, and for reasons of respect rather than physical impossibility. It's no different to a person claiming they cannot murder another human - it's for philosophical reasons they cannot, not practical reasons.

[@shermoore1693]

@@vink6163 It is obvious that it is highly unlikely that humans would eat books, especially if they are in a library, but that is not what Sandi said. She said "these books cannot be eaten". Unless you know a form of English that I don't, this means that it is not possible to eat the books. CAN is a modal verb which means: Is Able To. Which is why the future is Will Not Be Able To.

[@shermoore1693]

I, being well versed in the English language, would never say "I cannot murder another human", I might say "I could never murder another human." COULD has a different meaning to CAN. I suggest you study English. @@vink6163

How old is this episode. I learnt that it was constructive interference that caused rogue waves. Even if that were to be wrong, it is still a hypothesis, something that they claim doesn't exist.

Where did they pick up Jack Carroll, did they search the ASBO database or trawl a council estate public park late of a Saturday night?

explain? every single episode ive seen (25-30 of them) are googleable facts and historical notations.

[@grantmcinnes1176]

You've taken that too far.

[@vink6163]

Stephen's tenure got plenty of things wrong too, some of which they later corrected. It's hardly a new thing because of Sandi.

[@luminousfractal420]

But then half of stevens facts were completely wrong. I used to be screaming at the screen at the smug wrongness being spread to the masses.

[@stevenandreasen1553]

Humans use running with their arms swinging to maintain their balance over rough terrain which is how humans evolved. it is only within the last few hundred years that flat terrain became more accessable.

[@ghomerhust]

modern runners dont swing their arms much, unless they are sprinting

[@Maya_Pinion]

Makes sense. You can find lots of ladies power walking every morning and swinging arms...

[@UOLZEMOS-tp8sj]

Also makes sense to keep an arm bent forward to either push stuff or pull yourself, so that actually makes sense
