Has he been huge father? Christmas has even led to your house to give. presents because its prisoners, it is Christmas day he has. He went down the chimney of my laptop to deliver me a new episode and no such thing as affair is what we have got beat. Thy little bit earlier than scheduled is Christmas special recalled it live in the most restlessly of places It was so christmassy. It was so Christmas, those step outside the lights, the Germans sausages, many Germans, those lives, lippy, lot loved ones. There Christmas, whose Christmas city it was such an episodes. Do we enjoyed ourselves?

You can tell all of your family over the Christmas table over the Christmas table over it over the Christmas I got over the table. Tell em off backs well pay. This been successful, enjoy your day, that's the main thing you have made. Is that you have a really good. They enjoy a Christmas hope. You got lots of amazing presence, and here is an extra rally. Episode of no such things. A fish or ho ho ho such thing as a fish show a guy. With a the cast out with the Son of God constant. Like what

Why didn't you know? There is no such thing as operational legally this week, Cummings you live. My name is damage driver. I am sitting here with manages instead Andrew Hunter, Murray and James Organic, and once again we have gathered round the microphones. This sign that with our favorite Christmas bags from the last seven days and in no particular order here, we go starting with you Andy my factors that in nineteen fifty eight the queen's speech was lost, on the day of delivery and then found by a nearby poodle

It's a heartwarming Christmas story. What he says to me is that the colleagues are really shit funding That's true. This is just this was in nineteen. Fifty eight so obviously shall be done. Many of these speeches before pretty nerve, racking, still life delivery and one of the most important copies of this page, one with all the produces notes on it was lost and then found by a brutal. So what was the people doing now? I saw security was quite tight around the queen, It was not by the Queen Soviet. If it I mean she would have found it if it would have been next to it must have been need. The queen, I think it was at a nearby train station. Was this brutal? Has no involvement in the story? Well, he's the main protagonists in this hurry. I dont. Have you heard the story? You that's all. I know what I mean. It's not like. The polluter was in Buckingham Palace, going law, scrip, ammonia, didn't summit and to find the script and withdraw into fine. I don't know they didn't somebody and Jesus.

you don't say I've lost postscript somewhere in the United Kingdom. I need one put. The poodle at a train station noticed the bag. There was a bag of brutal ones. Over and explore the kind of the name of the peer learning all right. If I didn't know it was the queen speech. Well, he did a sort of series of mines to his master. The owner of the puddles Uncle John have EU that took it to the police. The queen speech was saved and thinks is carried on. That's right, thank God is viable

we have been without that speech. Right right. Everyone remembers. Nineteen. Fifty eight right. I remember the nineteen fifty nine speech or what I say. Remember I'm not that old, but I can tell you about the nineteen fifty nine speech, because it was the first speech that had a joke in it. As far as I can seeks, I read through the early ones and this one the queen said she explained all the places that what they were going all these new countries and the Commonwealth and she said so between us. We are going to many parts of the world. We have no plans for space travel at the moment. I mean, I know said: there's a great shout. It causes are above a joke, but I know it is many peoples. There was a good one in nineteen, fifty seven, I classic in nineteen fifty I would say there is again it was still alive and the queen was doing her speech in mid speech. The there was interference in the signal for the speech itself on tv, while people are watching. Suddenly

They could hear american police officers coming over in place of the queen speaking and the line that was heard. Most by most people was Joe, I'm gonna go grab equate coffee, that was suddenly just in the middle way between speeds in ninety. Fifty seven was it with some of them, the they put them. I won't tell you, but there was no picture yachting between nineteen fifty two in nineteen fifty seven. They realize they hand television now so they broke out on tv, but she did never make uptown or something so that the first tv broadcasts was fifty seven. Wasn't it where you can actually see her for that? You could just listen to her, but watching a black tv screen or minutes. So people might not really know much about the queen. What she look like and stuff like that, so when they heard someone say Joe, I'm gonna get a copy.

that they may be think it was the main thing I think from all of the money they knew what she looked like yeah. I'm definitely is his job before you can. You can guess one thing that you never does while she is. Holding the speech, I ll ask that's per as technically the correct incorrect. It's a correct answer. I ve never seen her stuffing to Turkey S. and are you gonna rephrase the question time? She never takes a wee. She never stand heads. She doesn't smile in genuine way. She does a kind of queen smile. I don't do this big, friendly smile

She has a kind of controls controlled. My he's gotTA weaned smiled, let's go, but there is. There was a time where the sound man decided on she's got such a nice mile. I gotta see if I can make a smile during a thing, so he attached to sign, saying smile to the camera boom and he put a sprig of olives and tinsel next to it and she saw it and she immediately frowned and he was less victim of capital punishment discussion. I discovered wall reading about the queen's Christmas broadcast that she is a podcast pioneer in she tat. The queen speech was released as a podcast in two thousand and six when we started in Tunis Fourteen like that's how distance it is, and it some I haven't, heard it. I assume it's the same as the speech bs. As you know, we got really slightly. You know she could have done it: podcast, loved ones, Father role to Porto. That's what he's not each stop agreed speed.

we'll sponsor this week. I will end by all of you because the vote, the greens bees reads green space. It was a king speed, So it starts to get. The first was nineteen thirty two or the only became a hearing and thirty nine and ninety that he too, they D. Actually so John Wreath, it was no manager of the BBC at the time have been trying to persuade King George Fit to do a king speech for years, and even one too, he was sweetly shy and nerves and though it wasn't a ragged speaker and was a technophobe. So didn't really understand this new fangled radio thing and he finally was persuaded to do it. When it turned out the Rudyard Kipling was gonna write it for him, then he thought okay. Well, that sounds good.

yeah right, the spaceport jungle, Bourgogne Jungle Guy, as some people have of ESA. What a speech necessity is the simple he wrote some other stuff as well go yet so it was one of those other things, but apparently King George, from his naval days, I read felt most comfortable in small rooms, and so he, even though they made a faint recording studio, which is one of the grounds rooms in the palace, he actually recorded it in a book threeam. Under this as sauntering I'm house, and yet you Harry Potter, it was like unreported again about them. His hand was shaking. If you listen to it, you can hear the paper rustling, this Hamish Aching said, and he said it ruined his Christmas guess who produced the? Can you see? I've got another. Chris was travel before you say if you can guess who produced the messages between regions,

eighty six, ninety ninety one was it disadvantages. I wish I haven't, got you that book about no, not the responses so produce a BBC producer, but also a friend of the greens and the greens per day: masses David, Edinburgh, David Algebra, great fact, its cooperation with just noise. Normal thing is, you know, but he was was he the guy? He was quite famous producer before he did his other. Wasn't the sixty zero, the guy, who am I gonna, run by sea, the guy who decides put sneaker on television to sell color tvs? Yes, yes, yes, it was when he was control of babies. You want, I think, He said to sell cover tv can isolate ones. Just a tiny bit worrisome me saying as other jungle book, I daresay David attenborough- is either sneaker guy well at that. Coming from you, the queen, is that the women of the money

Oh, why do we always argue at Christmas, some most about tv he's around crushed by that. So there were four Flintstones Christmas specials which how exactly they celebrate cry spur. I don't really know oh yeah, they would pioneers. it was a or there is a Youtube called shake Roper and he decided to look at that classic Christmas movie home alone, and he found out that pilots all the tricks that Kevin played on on the burglars and found that what would happen in real life. I'm so apparently shame on you haven't seen this may be, but I believe this is what happened: dreams, that's at best, a fact that, whatever you're about to tell us so apparent,

one stage he heats up at all, not around labour in their hands and apparently the temperatures needed to transfer enough heat. The outside knob would have melted the door or set the house on fire, but there is a crowbar that goes to the chest of one of the burglars that would a puncture his lungs and his heart, but it wouldn't matter because Kevin would have already murdered both of them with the paint come trap. Apparently, the force of those paint comes what killed both of them. That would be a very different moving away. Yes, you know I'm assuming maybe they both die is weird. Isn't I want you to foreign language wade? I understand that the oversee don't quite know what it is. What this is a reference to a tool? Look, I read the synopsis of

Wikipedia. Does such a weird thing about overloads r J passion? You is the bad guy and it is not an idea he offers. You know you are doing a gangster films in quite locks. There is gangster films, and I think he might have thought is a similar things, so we went really method in home alone. One on the set of home alone. He refused to see Mikuli coconuts all because he wanted Mikuli to be really really terrified of family, and I didn't want to kill the magic of ending this bad guy and in the scene. I wish you may remember, and I do remember and James doesn't remember where he's he's hung up on a coat hook, a one point, but by his coat and Joe Petty, says, team, I'm gonna buy all your fingers off one at a time and in one of the rehearsals he actually bit cookin really really hard Drury blood money still has a scar really parent.

This little nine year old boy had to do was screaming fair and be allowed in care. How many else, because you ve gotten around biting nine years- that's apparently in eighty when they were filming Steven Spielberg needed drew Barrymore to cry during a scene. This scene, where she really solves brought and behind the scenes of it, is apparently before the take was done. Steven Spielberg leaned into our going. I can be a good seen. You know, you'll, be great you'll, be great by the way you talk just died and then walked. Back and she burst out crying and that's her genuinely crying a merry Christmas. We need to move on to our next facts. Time. For fact, number two- and that is just escaped my fight this week- is that as well as being the birthplace of Jesus, Bethlehem is also where we found the oldest known depiction of people having sex

of which is very that's very ironic, famously sex. Freeze, oh yeah. I didn't think it was a sex freezer. It was just they had to people of many people have had sex or is it is related to non sex? They marry. Ngos have didn't have access to this piece of are otherwise they would have no more another instructions, so you I think this is such a width coincidence. This is really quite a beautiful piece of art is made of calcite it's from eleven thousand years goes as a stone age piece of all and it's kind of this couple of androgynous humans sort of in. So I don't know about sex workers, whether androgynous burdens of intertwined like legs legs over each other. Look it up. It's very nice face to face so the traditional way

Jody Specify, put not missionary, I would say well, when you look at it is going off. Some of it is meant to be upright or horizontal. So that sort of in the eye of the beholder anyway, I really looking forward to your pc follow document Israel, Syria, so this is, it is when I first looks at it. I thought it just like Iraq, ok, I've, maybe I'm just not in some way out, is butchers, others, it doesn't look like a role. It looks like two people glorious intertwined shop, ok, but according to artists, Mark Quinn, depending on the perspective and how you look at it, it also resembles a penis breasts

the China, depending on which way you kind of me that round so like a bit of trick out o currently it is. It is very good that this, because, if you put it, if you put it sort of sideways onto users, that is why does it looks like the couple one next to each other and then, if you move it says so end on it looks like a penis and then on the base. There's a cheek, you vagina! So it s a very! it is amazing, cheek- is a dream of the prize of one. Isn't it basically your porn hub of ten thousand years ago- because you could just search for ready of three things and then you get it anyway, so it was found in the nineteen Thursday's bison Bedwin Shepherd Boys, and This is now in the British Museum Escort announced that it was shepherds. Thus coup. Isn't it just watching the right you know cause is not well ship.

Looked at their horny, rocked by that is that a star this guy doesn't matter, keep looking at them rock. We have no evidence, they got any kind of arousing, out of it. They just they found it, and then they gave it to an archaeologist. Is an area just when the females of Bethlehem could I sat CRI and is in a cave and made more than a two finns who were as their called a sedentary people which isn't as insulting as it sounds. It just means that they were not in the magic very unusually for that time. They they weren't nomadic, feels like a favor group of people from history than the two fields. Really they because the first example we have of anybody domesticated the dark there. The first examples we

but the big feast? They were the first example we have of beer, it might be. Just people are looking at that place, but I think they sound like a really cool. You know a bunch of people. The first known bear, I think, is the Lisbon thirteen thousand years BP, which was people not a petrol reference, but so I didn't know about Israel's, but is it sounds but before present- and I don't know why We need it where we have these e thoughts. I was thirteen thousand years BP, so I guess about eleven thousand years BC and when you think before present is starts from this. Well, just when you said a few seconds, but not logical, now is now and so on and so forth. Is it? Is it not that I'm gonna say oh first answer and its noise? Ninety, Fifty ok Buber argue decided. The present is nineteen.

See as soon as it has some people think it's like where there was a topic bombs? It's exactly that has about and so that any rocks from then on have some kind of radioactivity seek out use carbon data that exactly everything's kind of screwed up after nineteen fifty is building nuclear shit, as you say, those a theory that is the other Bethlehem, but as this is the better him that we have, whether the church and the cave and all the tourism when using other green other Bethlehem, there's one in Wales, for instance, is not one that under the one about the wedding, not one. There's one in the Galileo and an israeli archaeologist has said the low. The pretty well be any proof due to my building work

a lot of Jesus life happened near the other Galilee, neither Galilee so it, and also that what has only a few hours of work from Nazareth witches were. Marriages of traditionally came from, so it's more reasonable that pregnant heavily pregnant woman would vote for a few hours, but did I say that they spend like weeks in the desert walking from one place to the other? They must got really most of its there's. One right thing they didn't know, that's the way things so the nativity about Jesus only mentioned into the gospels, anyway, LUCA Matthew, and it's only Luke that they make the journey so Matthew them already living in Bethlehem, and even in my view, this is the extent of the whole journey that we have the impression of the donkey and the long trip he just says. You know it was for a census, so they both confirmed that they were going to bath Amphora centres and of happen to have a child while they were there. When Joseph went to be registered with Mary, who is expecting

child. While they were there, she gave birth and wrapped around bounds of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for him in the inn and does it doesn't work on all the other stuff is from later the donkey. The long journey the k to overcome some of the protein gospel of James, even though the cake to do cave of caves cracks open a keg while its I'm attributable English christmases used to have a mince pie in the shape of a major and you would put a little Christ child Doll in the pie baseline. The pacts are not in the pile on the pie on the pie, which sort of shaped like a major like kind of trough and then you'd put crushed out of it and that it demos unusually the by besides I did you eat the Jesus. No, you didn't either Jesus the design was annual. Decker action to be got every year, pie was just the pie was the edible bed is laying the waiter wait await us.

Jesus and my pie, and what comes next surroundings Electra I join with the fly. You know I'm not what's into the flying Jack o my god she's at together those I must point out everyone alone. That's that's data. It is the way we told it. Do you guys know where the animals confirming the nativity? Nowhere usually have an ox in a kind of Ghana, so that no mention in the Bible over then are mentioned in the Bible, but they come from the gospel of pseudo Matthew two appeared in the eighth century and claimed he remembered all this stuff is pursued him ass. He wrote the gospel wish that we get a lot of connectivity ideas.

to introduce the stable, where Jesus born announce an ox and an ass, but he also added to the sea in Lyons Leopards and dragons no circle. That's correct, What to do them develop properly if you're having an hour you might as well have a lion leopard and a dragon. He said they all work their tails to show their devotion. We spoke about nativity thefts. I can remember, we will talk about it. For example, stealing nativity scenes. It is as though this has been a huge rash of this and in other places and love he is so. There is another Bethlehem and Pennsylvania and the woman stole the crib in two thousand and sixteen and broke a bit. The chief of police have to glue baby visas.

like back on, it was very embarrassing, so they had put a security cameras solely on the baby Jesus when they reinstalled it. But this keeps happening so there's a place. It was constant West Bend where twenty seventeen Jesus was stolen. Then they found it replaced the Jesus that, on Christmas Eve, it was stolen again the baby Jesus and there was a police officer use or woman suspiciously cradling, something I don't know how you do that and there was the replacement baby Jesus. They became the officer, yell police stop and she dropped the Jesus and impact it so now in West Bend, everything is bolted. Literally, everything is bolted down. Baby Jesus is plastic. to the manger. There is a camera which has hunting technology where, when someone leans in for a closer look emotion, activated trail camera kicks in cells, recording their every move, we need to move on in a sack turn Ex fact. We can talk about some arousing out. Ok,

No, I just words and quickly mention the other another very old these about which is all the statues of this egyptian God called men who, I didn't know existed, but he was what a facility- and you see little sculptures, often from around the fourth millennium busy so pretty long time ago, and he has a very close association with lettuce and that is because these, oh, if you look at him, he's always seen standing with very erects, very long penis when she's cradling in his left hand, I think, and then these associated with letters with us with issues We cradling that's how, You always suspiciously cradle something Venus, those pics eyes how she was cried like a baby Jesus though, as it was

They are used to go to facility and as those eighty with lettuce- and it was still the letters with the most aphrodisiac bill- food stuff because it looks like a penis, but also if you break a leaf of a lettuce issues is kind of white substance, and so this is really related. Sorrowed must save these old. Let's is that you get an ancient Egypt. If you go to save get an iceberg. Watering, it doesn't sound like a paid us to it doesn't is white liquid elects a tiny bit. Is that remain long, romaine long, phallic thing, but yeah looks less like a penis and doesn't do that using wait. A wager! There's a payments are my letters. so what actually doesnt have immense. I'm sorry because if one last thing about nativity sorry, it's just those additive

that available on. As I read a lot of reviews of nativity says that you can buy yourself and there is one set that is available and Amazon for three pounds: sixty nine. So this is a very you know, cost reasonably priced reasonably priced nativity set and the main review for it says this. Bearing in mind the price, I did not expect a work of art, but I did hope for something. Tasteful three figurines were tatty and badly painted Joseph had white splattered all over his cloak and down his stuff. The bit notice. You shall not more selective fishing less. It goes like this nativity guess what the bit the bid on the right side. His face was higher than the left I'm covered. His whole knows marries paint work was even Tessier. She has to left hands Maybe Jesus has a right that is twice the size of his left eye and his mouth is on the right side of his face. So it doesn't. Optimism is

no dragon recent events or an exact. Ok, it is time for back number three, and that is my fact. My fact this week is the most likely time in the year to have a heart attack is during a family Christmas gathering This is absolutely true. This is this research was done in Sweden, they looked at Dieser of two hundred and eighty three thousand heart attacks that took place in the country between one thousand nine hundred and ninety eight and two thousand and thirteen, and they found that at ten p dot m on December 20th. with, which is when the Swedes celebrate that's. When the Christmas gatherings happen that that's when it was most likely to happen. Thirty seven percent more likely to happen on Christmas Eve. Then you know, say twenty percent on New year's day or any other period of the ear. Yes really good, and they got this information from a database they have of two hundred and eighty three thousand and fourteen.

To tax and the database is called sweetheart. It's not sweet, something that ruins Why do we know? What is they think this data was due to Christmas? Arguments do too arguments. Stress. Did I get the right present. I've got all the family here where we suddenly, you know we ve got uncles and and seas and children who don't usually hang in one room necessarily or when they do now, is a duty of z. We don't know why it is that this with speculation. That is because of that it wasn't my they interviewed everyone Mittal seconds. Is it you think schools this delay that well, my wife has been a real bitch in the kitchen, because people so that it was the cold quite a lot, but then they did a similar study in the southern hemisphere and found quite similar results. I thing didn't I I think is monopoly

have you seen this about monopoly. They share their release the longest ever game of monopoly really old, because there was no new decisions in the area of the newest addition. They have sixty six properties that you can get instead of twenty eight. There were forty extra spaces, but you only have one day, so it takes away long to get between each one and the game carries on until one player has absolutely everything on the board, so you can go into more and more and more that, basically, you just keep

in forever. Till one person wins all them on ass, good, isn't it cause? That's what I've always that about monopolies that it's just over two farce that actually in twenty sixteen Hasbro ran the very good at the stuff. They run a monopoly, help line from the twenty fourth of the twenty six December to stop does literally because they said people always argue while playing this dreadful board gave us, and the idea was the person at the end of the hotline wouldn't solve, is sort of like family dynamic argument it would be. I will tell you what the official rule that you were disputing. That's that's the main thing that it so they would be peoples are people in the in the list of white people would call would be wider arguments happen, free parking, no one really knows officially. What the rules are now would be a big thing that they would argue about. And then it would be stuff like people taking too long to take their turn. Someone buying property that you want when they deftly didn't needed on the top of the list was people so loud. I know it's aloud ass part of the game exactly well. This

This is why your attitude is clothing and leather, topping people being too cocky when winning. So this is the headline legal. You can be asked to read the instructions which all of four pages long Zella was saying yes right, he's acting through this is targeting through our theories about why people argue that actual psychological theories about why people argue over Christmas, and one thing that I really like is that there are things which are social allergens, so you're, not a logic. The first time someone makes tiresome joke to you over Christmas, but by the foot of a time you having a very much stronger action, even if someone completed,

from making about joke. Again, I don't know not don't talk to lot have won a want, one that never gets old. There was that there was a study done recently, which ass people their main reasons for posts, Christmas grumpy now, so people get very depressed in January of kindness, depressing things like suicides go up on your knees days, the biggest state for suicide, but happily Christmas day is the smallest, EVA suicide. So people hang on people get upset.

In January and cannot just apologise for my fact. I've never really, but did this to us of its is it a browsing backs? The main reason people get upset after Christmas apparently is because there were list of twenty one of them was our house is full of Christmas presents and I dont want most of them, which strongly ungrateful. Apparently children become a complete nightmares. They get used to the indulgence of Christmas, which knows, if that's true, but they become terrorists basically, and then People cited, chocolate, withdrawals, symptoms, bus, rail, top twenty. Why I'm grumpy in January Medical Chocolate withdrawal one, but I think that in the olden days would happen just after Christmas. In sixteen hundreds in Wales, they had a tradition where you would beat up the last person to get out of bed on boxing day.

It is not wise boxing day. They would also around the same time they would throw food at the wall on Christmas day whenever it spelled out on the wall. That's who you would marry are in today. Alpha Betsy Spaghetti in the sixteenth century wiles. What can you this fellow, I suppose, a trifle it'll go you're right. I suppose baby like spaghetti. They probably didn't spaghetti today, Have you not heard these saw eel? They would get a deal from the table and throw them again. Maybe better begin with us all

because of the song from two thousand and four called the twelve ass the eyes of Christmas. Now this was an efficient themselves, a song written by the Department of Health as part of a public safety campaign, and it was to teach people, especially young people, about the risks of unsafe sex, and it starts it that all the verses tat started. On the first day of Christmas muttered, I gave to me a bug that made it hard to be, but they kept mixing up the rest of the world, so I just want to traverse nine with you on the night of Christmas by Truelove, gave to me Jack. That's all wars. Try Cambodia's hepatitis, pubic lies in general.

Peace is less media and saw that spread a Lee. I reckon no one has ever stood at this stage and sung the word gotta rear. quite as beautiful as those a study and twenty sixty, and it was a Christmas studies, so is quite light. Hearted, it is interpreted. Recent estimates show sent ass to trouble five hundred and ten million kilometers, namely the speed of light each night before Christmas, while controlling the estimated five point, six million reindeer necessary to pull his two point. Three million tonnes, considering one fatality commercial aviation about every three twenty three billion passageway kilometers and assuming that scientists lay is not considerably safer than a standard aeroplane centre would die on duty every

Forty five years when, when the next one do do, we know what it says that this directly, he should have died four times as his first appearance in the eighteenth century, but it keeps on surviving he's fine. You guys are gay. They look to some injuries in America between two thousand and seven and two thousand sixteen over Christmas. These adjusts injuries, but thirty six thousand people just tell but died from a sorry got inches from electrical decorations. Eighty thousand injured from other types of decorations, seventeen thousand nine hundred twenty eight or injured from artificial trees, and the two hundred and seventy seven children were heard during insurrections with a sensor. Impersonator and apparently, according to the researches. Their examples I gave is by either falling off his lap falling while running away. Here we need to move on

final factor the show, and that is James. Ok, my fight this week is that Mariah carry has three Christmas trees, one of which is decorated. With pictures of herself ok. So this is the modern day Santa Claus. Mariah carry as she has a main nineteen foot tree in her living room. She has a smaller one in her bedroom and she has one in the family remarry others. They called the Charlie Brown Tree and it's really cute kind of slightly scraggly looking one, but they put polarize of the family as well, not just ass. It's a nice, it's a nice thing and she has told us all about what happens her Christmas. She always takes a plane to aspen in Colorado and she comes off the plane and she that's onto a sleigh pulled by reindeers, while they play all. I want for christmases you again and again

she have slightly less are actually she does really like her or music. She likes to do stuff with her own music. According to her Ex husband Nick Chairman, when she gave birth as the baby's came out, they were playing a Maria carry song and they didn't just one any old mother I carry song. They wanted to live version of Maria carry sickening fantasy and medicine, square garden so that when the baby's came out, they came out to a round of applause. Who did he is the absolute Moby dick of pop devious? She is just the the perfect. Please answer: is the monkey one decorated with pictures of her? Yes, it's just like like like us. They Charlie Brown, it's kind of a multi, traditionally kind of a small small. Ok, she has, I think, is quite so we actually, the thing is more, I carry, I, I think we need a few p

who exists in that devil and that we just celebrate as opposed to going that crazy, because it's so amazing to know that there's someone out there just living this insane life and all these rumours we don't know which ones are true and which ones are false. Other things like people say she never wears a watch. She can whistle with her hands. You never was a watch is not diva baby. You're, not wearing a watch right now, I'm right by the moroccan area. No such thing as she has supposedly in extreme aversion to overhead lighting and has actually claims that elevator lighting is toxic, and the thing is that some people sometimes pick her up on the fact that she has these big rumours about her and asked about it and often the answers crazier than the action

like you say, should she was interviewed by someone who said there's a rumour going round that you only bathed in bottled water sparkling water, and she said that is insane. I bathing milk. I don't think that was actually with more. I carry that I and II, because this is in the guardian and he the description is so bizarre, but basically ease of lead into this room ways is demi litany combating make her out you sitting in a weird throne, and then she asked to be moved to a different chess. Nostrand doesn't J, and this is it of air rout. The only can seize glittering diamonds and that of the red of her out fit in this weird dimly lit space, and I think she just sending standards. around the world to repeat my stuff about of other clues that it might have been her. She wasn't going to watch, for instance, this issue, but we sit back and so the song, although of course was as you

Is he he's just over twenty five years old, really yeah? It's it's now and all day, and when she was told where Morocco it was told that the sun was turning twenty five years old, gent amazing response, you just said I dont acknowledged time. That's why she doesn't work watch. She doesn't knowledge time, because she doesn't have birthdays, we don't truly. No, when Mariah Carry was born. That's that's that's a real thing. She was either born. I think it was in in ten? What did the two dangers? It? Fifty nine nineteen sixty yeah exactly and we don't fully honour- is always united, one might insects and unrelenting seventy shears, either by nineteen sixty nine nine. Seventy.
