This is, we've done We've done not much prep on this, to be fair, but I think we can both speak from the heart about Interrupted Rage, right? Yes. I feel like this is this is this is more personal experience and less science
00:00:39
Speaker
um Yeah, but hey yeah, which are generally my but my favorite podcast. when We're just like free, you know, free, free. What's what you would call it? Oh, yeah. Free. Like we, well, this is free. I mean, this podcast is free. So there there there is that so free form at that point. We don't make anyone pay to listen to us. No.
00:01:10
Speaker
freeform anyway freestyle freestyle there we go yeah freestyling we're freestyling today a bit got yeah with our combined eight brain cells that are still functioning yeah so feels like all right and and with that uh welcome to ada stevell almost almost hit the the the outro button then
00:01:42
Speaker
That would be fun.
Hosts Introduction and Podcast Focus
00:01:54
Speaker
d Hello, I'm Paul Thompson. I was diagnosed with combined ADHDs some eight months ago. I'm Martin Weston. I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2013. teenager So we're just two mates, two mates who by coincidence or not, after 39 years of friendship, discovered where code ADHD is. Hurrah. Now it's really important to say right at the top here that this is an entertainment podcast about adult ADHD. It does not substitute for individualized advice from qualified health professionals. to do not take any advice from us no no no which is kind of here is a all-inclusive ADHD park bench with room for everyone including your doppelgangers your alter egos your buddy dubles uh your chaperones and your best buddies
00:02:51
Speaker
Still here? Great! Then grab your jetpacks, pedilos, space hoppers or any other transportation methods and let us take you to ADHD. An imaginary town that we've created in our minds, where we like to explore different parts of ADHD. Good Lord, yes we do. this and We start off as always at the Town Hall in the Mayor's Office, where we the joint mayors of ADHD will take care of business. And at the ah the ah agenda, we have two things on
Random Quiz Segment
00:03:24
Speaker
the agenda. One is we're going to be talking about interruption rage. And the second is we have a random quiz. Yes. We have our total random quiz.
00:03:37
Speaker
Yeah. All right. Well, I think we can just, it's random cause it's got nothing to do with interruption or rage. Although Martin might go into a a rage if it doesn't, if he performs as badly as he did in the last quiz. Oh, God, yeah. Well, we got all three wrong. I I I did. Dog breeds. Right. But that may not necessarily. Yeah. On the on the dog breeds on the dog breeds episodes that may not necessarily be might not be the last one. Yeah. because We slipped it in there because we record this in an odd way and they go out in an odd way. We do.
00:04:16
Speaker
Yeah, so which creates mayhem because it's really it's hard to decide when something's gone in or going out or oh oh So I like I like list of like, you know so future episodes, you know, it's like got color coding all over it for like what's been recorded what's needs to be recorded what's been What's been uploaded what hasn't Yeah, yeah color coding is key. All right, well, let's jump in. Actually, no, we aren't going to jump in the, in the, in the mez car this time, because, because we're going to go down into the bunker, the bunker.
00:05:01
Speaker
Yeah, because, you know, in interruption rage, I think if if we are going to rage them, then yeah we should do it out of public. We should go down into the into the town right bunker and talk about it it it there. Exactly. All right. So let's just make our way over to the elevator and yep let's let's go down.
00:05:35
Speaker
yeah traveling down nice kachunk have you been watching the uh ripply series on um on netflix a new series of ripply no it's outstanding there's a really good lifts in it all right there's a there's a nice lift ah like old-fashioned lift thing in it Oh, here we go. All right, we're here. Lovely nuts. Someone said oil that door. Yeah. and Right. in Interruption rage.
Defining Interruption Rage
00:06:10
Speaker
So, you know what? We were talking off off air. That sounds such a wanky expression. of else Off air. Off pod. In the green room.
00:06:24
Speaker
Right. You know, like it's not always easy to to to kind of know when to interrupt the ah the other person or whether it's to hold back and sometimes you like jump in. yeah The other person would jump in and they were like jumping over each other, with yeah which causes its own little chaos. um yeah but it but But we don't get angry about it. But in real life, sometimes, but maybe because when it's maybe when you're interrupting between ADHD is somehow different
00:07:05
Speaker
because you kind of have this because you in Deep down you you you know what each other is like. say oh yeah um yeah i think so so so So let's start off with what is Interruption Rage because we like to at least define what we're talking about here. So I'm just reading one off of the ADHDknowledgehub.com because I felt like it was fairly typical, which is to say that interruption rate rage is a state of heightened frustration and anger triggered by unexpected disruptions during focused tasks.
00:07:47
Speaker
So, for example, imagine driving at high speed and suddenly hitting the brakes. The abrupt halt is jarring. For individuals with ADHD, minor interruptions can evoke a similar emotional jolt.
The Frustration of Interruptions during Focused Tasks
00:08:06
Speaker
yeah discuss discuss discuss for me it it it's generally when i'm hyper focused on something one um or i or i've managed to get into a flow of doing something that I do really don't want to do. So say, for example, I'm doing some paperwork and some bureaucracy that I hate and it's taking me like two hours to get into the mental state of even just being able to do it. yeahing Yeah. And then you need like half a page in and then so and then you get interrupted and then I'm um'm annoyed because it's taken me a long time to get into that mental state to do this thing.
00:08:54
Speaker
Right. So what you're saying is especially when it's a task you don't really want to be doing. Especially because if I'm doing a task that I really like, it's yeah it's annoying, but because I like it, the dopamine is there and I can go back to it. Well, I can anyway. I can. I can stay, if it something I enjoy doing is something I find stimulating, i it's quite easy to easy to me easy for me to refine the kind of the thread of that, you know, yeah if I'm interrupted, that's not a problem. You can get back in the groove, Jackson, for sure. I mean, yeah, it's it's the stuff that that I struggle with, that if I get interrupted with, it's like, I want to stab people.
00:09:43
Speaker
Okay. I ah ah get stabby at least in my head. I mean, right if you if you're looking at me from, from the outside, I might look fairly calm and like nothing much is right is roughly my foot inside. I'm mentally stabbing, stabbing him. Most countries could get you into trouble. Um, um, most, I say most countries because in Turkey you can stab someone below the buttocks and, and, and yeah, you can. below the buttocks. Yeah. it's an I think, I don't think it's still with the law, but there was, there was a thing where you could stab someone below the buttocks and and get away with it. You could potentially, you know, it was a misdemeanor. Okay. Well, don't take legal advice from this podcast. so No, no, especially not Turkish legal advice. Oh, good Lord.
00:10:38
Speaker
Right. I mean, common triggers for an interruption rage would be for me, would be anything from like, if my phone rings, if if someone comes in and starts talking to me, um Yeah, I mean like, yeah, and i've anything that okay get that takes my brain away. I've got an example here because ah for people that don't know, I live in Italy. So if I'm having to explain something in Italian that is quite difficult,
00:11:20
Speaker
always quite boring but needs to be said and it's it's taken me a lot of effort to actually ah get that out in a kind of um you know, um and you anywhere resembling a decent Italian ah kind of sentence construction and someone interrupts me i will I would get really angry.
Cultural and Personal Challenges with Interruptions
00:11:45
Speaker
I'd get really annoyed. Even I had this problem last week with my girlfriend, I got angry because I said to her, look, you're speaking your mother tongue, your your you know your first language. For me, if you interrupt me,
00:12:02
Speaker
I mean, I mean, I said, literally, I've already forgotten what I was supposed to say as I'm saying this, as I'm telling you how angry I am that I was interrupted. And yeah, but it's not her fault. It's not her fault at all. But I try to explain to her, like, it's really difficult for me to kind of, you know, get back into the saddle of like, like, understand what I wanted to say. um If I've been interrupted. Yeah, it's really difficult. Yeah. Cause I think, you know, like as you were saying at the, you know, ah earlier on, if you've got ADHD and someone with ADHD interrupts you. Yeah. I g agree. It's like you kind of feel like you, you both and understand it better. So you're kind of a so little bit less.
00:12:57
Speaker
Kindred spirits Little bit lesser and it's people play for I think you know, I think generally communication between ages is generally quite playful It's like it's all it's like you're you're in the same sand pit together, right? So it's all okay Well, yeah, um but but I would say it was it's more and understandable. I wouldn't say I felt like it was okay. So for example, I've just been talking a lot with with someone who who I believe is on the on the spectrum and then I'll talk and then they'll just interrupt and just talk right oh o over me.
00:13:33
Speaker
Which I used to would really annoy me about this person But but now now that I've kind of gone no, hang on a second there. They're on the spectrum Like and then assumes I kind of like realize that then yeah now they'll interrupt me and now I kind of go, oh yeah, this is just them being on the speccy and they're just like, right okay and they don't realise it. Whereas a yeah whereas i would I would think, that's ah that that's the thing is that I almost feel like if someone interrupts you,
00:14:08
Speaker
um And they do realize that they're and interrupt interrupting you, i.e. that I'm typical safe example. Then you feel like there's a that they've just completely disqualified anything that you've previously said, right? right And said, no, you're you're wrong. Yeah, whatever you're saying isn't isn't isn't good I that my my opinion is so much better than yours and and I will interrupt you Yeah, and I will place you down. I'll push you down and and and and that makes ya that's that's the thing that makes me feel angry I guess
00:14:49
Speaker
and A lot of the times, what one thing I've um divulged and you know in on this discussion is that a lot of the times, if ADHD is interrupting you or other you know whether in your whether it's in ah within an ADHD community or otherwise, often they're interrupting not because they're being rude or arrogant or anything. Often it's because they're just really enthusiastic. and it just you just want to get it out, what you've got in your head. um I can relate to that because when we started the podcast, I'd literally just been diagnosed with ADHD. And I was, someone, a friend of mine said, she'd see she listened to the first couple of ah podcasts. She said, Paul, do you realize you're constantly interrupting, Martin?
00:15:41
Speaker
And I said, yeah, I know. I kind of listened to the first two podcast and I was doing it. And we had that conversation, didn't we? I apologize to you. But it to being fair to myself, I was just, I was like a kid with a new shiny toy. I was like, yeah, I would just wanted to like talk about it and talk about it and talk about it, you know? Yeah. No, for sure. And, you know, like, I think on the if you flip it around for the other person, um ah say a neurotypical or a partner or something of someone,
00:16:20
Speaker
you know ah they can kind of get like, you know that phrase ah walking on egg eggshells, yeah which which which I hear a fair fair amount, where the other person feels like they're walking on eggshells because they They don't necessarily recognize when you're hyper focused on something or um in in that ADHD state and and they won't recognize it. And then they'll interrupt you and then you turn around and kind of go,
00:16:52
Speaker
Ah, what were of ah yeah you have this kind of like, seemingly um out out this, this disproportionate emotional outburst. And then they're like walking on eggshells. Oh, don't really want to talk to him because he's like, my, you know, who knows what the fuck's gonna gonna happen if I so if I say anything. And then that, then that becomes ah a problem. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Communicating the Need for Uninterrupted Time
00:17:22
Speaker
At that point, you know, because they'll just stop com communicating and just not annoying. Yeah. Yeah. I've had this bit of this kind of problem with my girlfriend because i mean my girlfriend, she speaks very, very, very little English.
00:17:42
Speaker
And so, um, I think sometimes she said, Paul, do you realize, um, do you interrupt me quite a lot? And I think I, I often do that because if, if I, if the phrase comes to mind about what I want to say, if it comes to mind in Italian, it's almost like I need to get it out of my mouth as soon as possible because ah as soon as possible. Otherwise I'll forget it. You know? Right. And actually, you know what, that that may well just apply to doesn't you necessarily have to be if you're speaking in a second language. Like sometimes if you have if you have ADHD, like you'll you'll you'll have a thought and then it it will only stay in your brain for like, you know, for a couple of seconds before it evaporates away. And you're like, exactly, exactly.
00:18:36
Speaker
There's one other thing, another thing that's very cultural. There's certain places um um like southern Italy, and I've heard that in Brazil, it's the same, in Brazil, people talk over each other a lot, like it's a national sport. And it drives me insane. No one ever lets you finish a sentence in Southern Italy. And it really, really, it's really frustrating. um But yeah, as I say, someone told me it's the same in Brazil. It's actually the same. People talk over each other a lot. oh that being Yeah.
00:19:15
Speaker
Yeah, and I used to say to people look I get it look I get it that it's a southern Italy thing and you you should say you're you're probably thinking oh Paul you should just adapt and I said well I could I could adapt and and just like talk over people like everyone else but for me that's not how I enjoy having a conversation and Right. You know, the people get out what they want to get out and you respond to it and you have a hopefully ah stimulating conversation. Not that you only get like ever, ever get half this half. What you want to say ever gets out at any one point, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So I think, you know, communication is key, right?
Balancing Hyperfocus and Interruptions
00:20:00
Speaker
there There's like,
00:20:04
Speaker
I think if, because I think if the person, if your romantic interest or for me or family members or wherever it is, people, if they don't understand you and your issues, for example, then it then it can just seem random and arbitrr but arbitrr but arbitrary. right yeah yeah Whereas if it's like, right, well, I'm going to be doing this, I'm going to be hyper focusing on on this task now, um you know, for a while, that means, you know, that that should mean, you know,
00:20:43
Speaker
only into interrupt me if it's really important, you know, houses on fire, you know, yeah there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a million zombie squirrels coming over the hills, you know, like something in turn zombie school. But what would, how does it show up for you? Do you get, if you're like hyper focused and you're interrupted, do you go into a rage? internally. Yes, it's only OK. And then externally, it comes out as me being knocked or or I'm sure or I'm, you know, yeah, I'm just like, what, what, what, what, you know, what do you? Yeah. Whereas, whereas, whereas inside, as I've said, I'm, you know, I'm I'm I'm busy crushing people's skulls with rocks, you know, stabbing like
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Inside, yes. ah Outside, i'm just um' I just look annoyed. Yeah, yeah. Well, I did give you, we were talking about this episode last week, I think gave you and an and example of when we we're were working together and a colleague of ours who should name, rename, ah nameless, Russ Seaton. i He was. He was. We had carpet down in the in the in the agency and he decided that he would shuffle from his office into our office, shuffle on his feet until he built up on as much static as possible.
00:22:18
Speaker
came up behind me and I was like hyper concentrated on something and he touched my earlobe with his finger and gave me electric shock through my ear And I literally, i within a nanosecond, I turned around, and bear in mind, Ross, bless him, bless him, six foot five. um Six foot five. And I just was in a rage and he was not expecting it at all. But yeah, I wasn't, I don't have been shocked
00:22:51
Speaker
but also just being a kind of a mixture. Also it's been interrupted really well. I thought was completely unnecessary clearly in a work environment, but you know, God, dear but yeah, but yeah, I was not happy. I was not happy at all. Yeah, right, exactly. I think, ah you know, one thing that is important is, that as I was saying, is that, you know, like this kind of like do, whether it's like a verbal do not disturb sign or an actual do not disturb sign or
00:23:31
Speaker
You know, being able to kind of signal when you're like, well, I know I'm going to be in this state, in this hyper focused state. So, or I know I'm going to be doing doing this, this task that is going to take me a while to get into the headspace yeah um and being able to kind of communicate that. That's really important. Plus also. on the on It can't all be one way, right? this This is what I find about ADHD advice sometimes. It all appears to be too much one way, i.e. it's the ADHD person saying, right, I need you to change your world, typical person, for you, right? Which I totally get and I totally advocate for, yeah but also there has to be like a sort of a bit of give and take. so
00:24:20
Speaker
So if that other person... So I think there's something called like gentle reminders, right? Which is, right, if I did want to talk to you, how how should I do it? So yeah one one way that I like is is if someone texts me, If my my wife texts me from the other room rather than shouting at me, right I prefer
Phone Phobias and Disruptions
00:24:45
Speaker
the text. right that's made too gentle yeah it's It's a little gentle communication thing that that that I can see. doesn't it It interrupts me, but in ah in in a way that is a little bit more by softer.
00:24:59
Speaker
right the then That's the thing, isn't it? So it's get then you get into like, it's it's how you're interrupted. If I'm interrupted because there's a telephone call, um because I don't like talking on the phone, that would be really irritating to me. Right. Cause I've got like, I have a lot of virtually a phobia with phones. I really don't like talking on the phone. So if someone, if I mentioned by phone, that yeah, that, that will, that will, um, it's not good. It's not a good thing. Not a good look. ah No, no, no, exactly exactly. Also the other person
00:25:43
Speaker
has to be able to pull you out of of whatever rabbit hole you're you're you're going down, right? So I have more than ah more than um a million ah more than a million occasions have kind of gone, right? Well, I'm going to spend an hour on this particular task, this little thing, right? And then about an hour and a half later, I am still doing that thing because I'm hyper focused on it and i one I'm really enjoying it. I'm getting a lot of like dopamine from it. And then the other person, my wife, in this case, like that,
00:26:21
Speaker
I have to allow a way for that person to pull me out of what I'm doing because I'm already spending way too much time doing it. Right. Yeah. There's other shit to do. I can't just like spend half a day on some handle project. yeah that I've got other things to to do. So, you know, like I have to allow them to kind of like, you know, knock on the door and go, hey, all right, Martin, okay, well, you know, you know, yeah some some some other stuff to to do. So I need you to kind of like wind one this up. ah You know, when can you kind of like, you know, get on to this other thing? Yeah. and And even though I'll be annoyed, I have to allow it. You have to allow that. Yeah. Yeah. That's where headphones are really good.
00:27:11
Speaker
Because, um I mean, this is a phenomenon when, um this is a recent phenomenon with with Covid and everything, a lot more people working from home. Headphones are a great way of saying, look, I know I'm working from home, but I'm actually doing work. And headphones are a great way of saying, look, you basically have to like imagine to your partner, whoever is living with you, say, look, you have to basically imagine as if I'm in the office and I shouldn't be erupted in trouble. Cause otherwise they've got no visual cues to when they can interrupt you. The headphones are a really good way of doing that. Yeah. Yeah. That's that that's true. Um,
00:27:59
Speaker
I think we did the other thing to remember is for everyone is that it's not personal.
Internal Reaction to Interruptions
00:28:07
Speaker
you know That kind of like rage that that you feel is an internal storm created by your ADHD, hyper-focus being in interrupted. I'm not actually annoyed at the other person because Because when I think about it logically, after afterwards, it's like, OK, yeah, there's plenty of reasons why that person would, you know, um would need to and interrupt me. It's it's me that. Yeah, yeah. It's all this kind of stuff in me. It isn't really them. It's not about you. It's me.
00:28:44
Speaker
It's not you, it's me. It's not you, it's me. Yeah, right. Yeah, and that's no a good point, we'll put. um Have you found mindfulness techniques to be of any use?
Mindfulness Practices for Managing Reactions
00:28:56
Speaker
f i um um um generally. I'm just looking, oh, looking, it says practicing mindfulness can promote a greater awareness of one's reactions to interruptions. I mean, techniques such as meditation and yoga can be immensely beneficial. Yeah. Because I know that you do yoga for a bit, right? I did bikram yoga, yeah. Which is hot yoga at 42 degrees. I did a stango as well. I was as fit as a fiddler's elbow. Wow. Or as fit as a butcher's dog. And how did you find that?
00:29:37
Speaker
I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. um Because it's not really it is it is meditation because you are controlling your breathing. um Which actually was the aspects of yoga that I struggled with the most was the breathing element of it. um Not to the point of you know, if it's affixiation. It was just more like out, out, out, out. Oh, oh in, in. Oh, Christ, I forgot the in. I never really got there. And in and out. I was more like, and then fainting. Yeah. um I liked the idea. I did try meditation once. I liked the idea of it.
00:30:28
Speaker
Um as I could see that I could get into it. Have you ever tried it? Oh, yeah many times have you think I think I was very anti it For quite a long time because I had this image that it was like you sitting cross legged with a you know with a bunch of incense burning and you're kind of like oming and yeah, and it was all very like uh, yeah, but actually once I realized that you could actually meditate on the train in a busy platform, in ah in a hectic environment um with what's going on, I was like, oh, OK, it's not quite as as zeny as as yeah as I thought it it it was. It really is just like,
00:31:21
Speaker
Um, but yeah, concentrating on your bathing and, you know, and you can just kind of go, yeah let me just check in with my, with, with my arms and my legs and my head and me. of this yeah just It's just kind of like, um, it is how I tend to use it when I'm doing something particularly stressful. So on the way to a job interview, I would do it typically so that I would just kind of like, just kind of calm myself back. down again. That's where I would do it normally when there was like something nuts going on. ah I once tried Gregorian chant on the way to an interview. Literally in ah in a London cab. Out loud.
00:32:14
Speaker
out loud. And with the cab driver looking back, what kind of idiot have I got in the back of weird guy in the back of my cab? It's because i Stephen Fry once suggested trying it. If you ever got a public speaking to do or an interview or something, and you've got like, um in my case, I was going to present my portfolio to, a it was for ah quite an important job. in Covent Garden actually and um he suggested um rehearsing your interview in Gregorian Chant. No blimey. I did that and it really works. I had heard that humming
00:32:59
Speaker
is good for the, and then I forget the next bit, but I think even just kind of humming. So, so good, good, good, good growing chant is quite humming, isn't it? Is that yeah come right? Yeah. yeah it Um, yeah. I think it it's it's actually quite heed for physically good. He uses it because it stops him, when he's public speaking, it stops him from um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
00:33:36
Speaker
his present presentation and he said if you yeah
00:33:44
Speaker
Well done. Well done. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And it apparently really helped me. I found out actually I'm denied a lot less. There you go. A little chat about cookery chant. I would try and remember that. Yeah, it works. Yeah. All right. um in In a black cab if you want to or not. ah Exactly. Um, kind interesting thing here. Um, all right. So I think, I think for me, at least if I'm going to can start concluding, is that, is that, is that.
Strategies for Managing Interruption Rage
00:34:28
Speaker
Interruption raise does require a bit of a multi- faceted ah ah multifaceted approach. like Part of it is is going to be communicating out outwards about what your needs are, whether you need total peace or how you want to be communicated with in a, in a softer way, more you know, um, and then laying down those ground rules. Also you yourself have to be more, you know, um, open to being able to and allow people to interrupt. Yeah. I'll get in better at at least saying, if it's something you find hard to control, just get better at saying, you know, I find it to really difficult to control at least be open and honest about it.
00:35:15
Speaker
Right. And it's not personal. It's this kind of weird facet of ADHD that just seems to really not be that helpful. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Good, good. Okay. Well, shall we take the, we'll get the elevator back up. Oh. And, um, and then we'll do the quiz i kind up in in in the mayor's office. Yes. all rights so's go up there Shuffle over to the elevator press, press the button. Yes. Getting a bit humid down here in the, in the, uh, in the, in the bunker.
00:35:59
Speaker
and we go
00:36:04
Speaker
back in ah on the way up pick web Oh, a bit of daylight. It's always good. Yeah, I know. It's always a bit weird going going down, by but like as you say, I quite like not using the car all the time, just going down in the elevator. Exactly.
00:36:26
Speaker
Well, this is us. All right. Clunking away. Reassuringly, reassuringly clunky. Mm hmm. All right. OK, well, we like a quiz. We did probably a quiz. And we've got one that in in in the last one that we recorded, which was the dogs episode, which would be quite a while ago. It said 26, I think, off the top of my head. um I did really badly. So I'm I'm hoping to let's see how you do this time. Yeah. Yeah. All right. um Okay. So it's got nothing to do with, it's totally a theme, obviously. And it's actually, it's just all it is, is you have to pick out the usual format, Martin. You have to pick out the fly in the ointment.
00:37:15
Speaker
Or how could I put it another way? The fly in the ointment, or the odd one out? Okay. Oh, I see. The odd one out. So, odd one out. I'm going to give you... I've got three different lists here, okay? Each have five answers. One of them is the wrong answer, okay? To the theme of, on this day in history, okay okay on this day in history as we're we're recording this on the 10th of april ah okay so bearing that in mind okay so which of these things didn't happen okay
00:37:53
Speaker
on the 10th of April. So in the year 1837 AD, let's start back then. Back, back. Hailey's Comet approaches Um, um, what was actually, we, most people think was really close to earth, but it was actually 3.2 million miles away from earth, but still close enough for cosmopolitan cause cosmologists to say, Oh, holy crap. What the hell was that? So is that, so is that, or on a lighter note in 1825, the first hotel in Hawaii opened
00:38:39
Speaker
okay eighteen oh five okay 1825. 1815. Austria declares war on the Kingdom of Naples. lord It's bizarre, isn't it? OK. 1878, California ah Street Cable Car Railroad Company starts service. So the first cable car in San Francisco started on this day in 1878. We got the last one, Martin.
00:39:10
Speaker
right okay i've got the last one you got choose from the yeah yeah abc day or a e okay one of these things did not happen okay on this day yes okay 1953 the first ever color 3d movie called the house of wax premiered in new york OK. 1953. OK, yeah. 1953. Next. Next. 1877. A 14-year-old girl performed the first human cannibal in London. A 14-year-old girl performed the first canum human cannibal in London. That's London, England, by the way.
00:40:00
Speaker
Or is it C. Martin? 1849, Water Hunt patented the safety pin. Water Hunt patented the safety pin. um What is it? A law ended in the UK whereby all beached whales and sturgeons in the UK must be offered to the reigning monarch according to a decree that started in 1322. Okay, all right. Oh, is it E? In 1956, Phillips broadcasted the first Dutch TV TV.
00:40:51
Speaker
Okay. white touch okay all right and okay all right so all right uh which one of the rent are those random enough for you martin those okay now so random there's not even it's not even as if you've manipulated the date the year so that that would give me a hint it's like no It's not like you win 1856 for the TV program. I go, oh, hang on a second, 1856. That's the wrong year. That's like too early. that'd be way too easy that all right So this is down to which one do I think you would find amusing to put into a quiz? Is it the 3D?
00:41:42
Speaker
thing the cumin cannibal girl which you did repeat twice so that that did make me think us yeah because i like the sound of it i just said it said twice because i like the sound of it yeah that's what i'm saying is that you like the sound of it so that i was putting emphasis on it yes you were putting emphasis on it which is which is why i think i'm going with that answer right you're wrong oh damn it yeah it's the last one mate it's not true that a nineteen twenty in in 2003 the UK law ended whereby all beached whales and sturgeons in the UK had to be offered to the reigning monarch according to Cree from 1932 because it's still law oh blimey
00:42:27
Speaker
It's still law, if a whale or a sturgeon beaches in the UK, it has to be offered to the monarchy. let's click it They get first rights to eat it. What's the king going to do with that with a sturgeon? Well, sturgeon's easier, isn't he? He can make caviar. Oh, right. You know, just squeeze it out on um and onto a little wafer. What a wafer. Okay. Well. All right. but Well, yeah I will say, I'm just looking for the ending. All right. Well, okay. So, cool. All right. Well, that just takes us to the ending. God, this is so delightful.
00:43:13
Speaker
Like an awkward end. All You tired? was It was exhausting. No, it's just um ah because we had that that technical hitch that the whole flow kind of went. All right.
