We're on time and we're on 6 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: target at software dot Com. Okay, will I help for 7 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: you this week? Well, I'm going to talk a big 8 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: metal I'm also going to talk about the possibilities of 9 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: a military coup about that. I'm also going to talk 10 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: about my dog and my choice of dog and why 11 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: I chose my dog. And I think we're gonna do 12 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: a little feature every now and again about dogs in particular, 13 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: because they are such a great animal and they are 14 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: more and more widely spread being used by the military 15 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: for a number of different purposes search, attack, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. 16 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: In fact, special forces are using them all over the 17 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: place now, which is really good news if you're a dog. 18 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Of course, right, where are we going to start? Then 19 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: let's start with Nairobi. Man. This story broke January time Nairobi. 20 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Pictures started emerging of a guy in dreams body armor 21 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: armed to the teeth marauding around a Kenyan shopping well, 22 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff going on inside, bangs, pops, whistles, 23 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: you name it, great gaggle of of National soldiers following 24 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: him and all sorts of stuff being declared. It turns 25 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: out that the press reported on this almost straight away. 26 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: And although it's reported that it was my old unit, 27 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: the s A s. Of course, I wouldn't know anything 28 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: about it, and I wouldn't be allowed to talk if 29 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: I did. But all I can do is sort of 30 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: like analyze what the press have said and say, maybe 31 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: perhaps or could be where I might know something. You 32 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: had to read between the lines a little bit on 33 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: this one, because I'm sailing close to the wind, as 34 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: it were. So let's just suppose. Let's just suppose that 35 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: there was a training task out in there in Kenya. 36 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be unrealistic to believe that somebody would be out 37 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: there doing some sort of training activity with local special forces. 38 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: And I think there's a big case of somebody being 39 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time here because 40 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: obviously the guy, the guy was off duty. You can 41 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: quite clearly see he's not in fatigued, ready to go. 42 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: He's he's been caught on the hop with his gear 43 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: in his car more or less, and he stuck it 44 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: straight on and he's got involved from wherever he came, 45 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's all sorts of rumors he was shop 46 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: and he was doing this, he was doing that, he 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: was doing the other wherever he's came from. He's managed 48 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: to get his kid into his car and get himself 49 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: down their best speed. When he gets there, he finds 50 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: out that there are terrorists active shooter in the building, 51 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: and Kenyan's obviously trying to formulate a plan to get 52 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: in there and flush his people out. It turns out 53 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: that he goes in more than once. He does get 54 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: involved in firefight himself, allegedly obviously you know money going 55 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: by what I've heard, he gets involved in a bit 56 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: of a firefight himself, flat packs a few of them. 57 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't imagine. He then helps to evacuate the few 58 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: people he's seen evacuating people. There's all sorts of pictures 59 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: of him coming and going, coming and going, coming and 60 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: going more than once from more than one entry, all 61 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: sorts of stuff being heard inside, and it's quite clear 62 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: that he's done an absolutely superb job. So he's led 63 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: the whole thing. You see him briefing Kenyan soldiers, you know, 64 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: at the back of the way. Again, there's all sorts 65 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: of footage of them outside. Until the proper cordon was established, 66 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: there was pressed all over this one. So there's all 67 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: sorts of footage been leaked, luckily and quite respectively. So 68 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: they haven't put his face out public, which has been 69 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: a bit of a blessing weirdly, because I mean, you know, 70 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: from from from what I hear, you know he's still 71 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: got a bit of he's still got a bit of 72 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: life left in the tank because it were doesn't want 73 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: to be getting out straight away. So the last one 74 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: you wanted your face splattered all over the press. If 75 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: you're still serving, that's for sure. So anyway, as with everything, 76 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: the passing line from the Ministry of Defense isn't either 77 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: confirmed nor didn't. I this is a special forces thing. 78 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: They never will, they never ever will. Still don't quite 79 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: agree with the policy myself. I think sometimes there should 80 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: be a time when you should say yes, that was 81 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: ours without a doubt, because it's blade in the obvious 82 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: that stairs when the face doesn't I mean, look at 83 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: the Iranian embassy, that was blakely the S A S. 84 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: But in this case, again, like they say, they will 85 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: neither confirm nor deny the or get nothing out of 86 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: the MD on this one. However, now it's time for 87 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: the guy obviously to be awarded a medal for his bravery. 88 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: And he you know, you can't deny a guy, don't, 89 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: no matter what units he's from. So he will be 90 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: awarded a medal. The medal that he's going to get, 91 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: it's called a Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. The c g C 92 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: is second only to the Victoria Cross, and that's for 93 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: battlefield heroism a case. So I would imagine the enly 94 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: reason it didn't get a VC for this Victoria Cross 95 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: is because technically this wasn't a battlefield. It was an extreme, 96 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: extreme act of bravery. However, because it's not a battlefield technically, 97 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: and this this has happened before, because one of our 98 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: guys got awarded a c g C in c E leone, 99 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: which again was a hostage type situation. Because it wasn't 100 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: actually a war, it can't be warded award of the 101 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: Victoria Cross. This medal of the CDC. It was created 102 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: in and the first recipient was a Corporal Wayne Mills 103 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: of the first Batalian, Duke of Wellington's Regiment for his 104 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: actions in Bosnia. And I think the first time the 105 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: s A S one one was in Sierra Leone a 106 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: few years later. Like I say, it is a huge, 107 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: huge medal, this one second to the Victoria Cross. It's 108 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: up there, and like I said, I genuinely believe the 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: only reason he didn't get the Victoria Cross for this 110 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: was purely and solely because it wasn't a battlefield action. 111 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: So a great medal. The medal features are silver cross 112 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: and a laurel reef and it's mounted on a white 113 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: ribbon with a blue and red crimson stripe. Okay, so 114 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna know when you say that one in there. 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna know when you say that one in the 116 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: bad square that he's done something extremely brave it and 117 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: fair plate to him. So, like I said, the Ministry 118 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: of Defense have not commented on the Special Forces again, 119 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: but the press is saying the medal is among others 120 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: in an up kind of operationals honors list, which is 121 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: expected to be published at the end of this month. 122 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: They used a bit earlier, but this year because of Brexit, 123 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: these awards are being done slightly later than normal, and 124 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: of course they're all claiming, They've got their own sources 125 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: who are claiming it's an says guy that's won this medal, well, 126 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: wherever it is or isn't, and I'm not going to 127 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: tell you it is a great, great, great achievement by 128 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: this individual, and one that will that picture, I mean 129 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: that picture of him going through the door, ready for anything, 130 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: with his body armorous genes, and that picture will be iconic, 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: without a doubt, that picture will be one of the 132 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: most iconic pictures I would have said, militarily of this decade, 133 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: without a doubt that is that. That is a huge picture. 134 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: I've actually already made a T shirt with this one. 135 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: It was a very good seller, and to be honest, 136 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: so it is an iconic, iconic picture of that guy, 137 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, with with his head wrapped in a shamaga 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: whatever it was, with his weapon, his body armor and 139 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: his jeans on bursting through a door and straight into action, 140 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: straight into action, no hesitation, no messing about, no no 141 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: war might go, I might not go. He went straight 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: through that thought and straight into action. And that's you know. 143 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: When you're in the UK now and you see these 144 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: people moaning about soldiers and soldiers out and soldiers the 145 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: other fully grasped the situation of what this man has 146 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: just done. He's done something extremely brave. He could have 147 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: hovered about outside. He could have taken on the command 148 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: roll and said, right, you go in there, you do this, 149 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: you do that, you do the other. You know, he 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: didn't do that. He took the bull by the horns, 151 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: he picked up his weapon, he picked and put on 152 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: his own body armor and led the charge from the front. 153 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: It don't get any braver than that, now, you know. 154 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: I have spoken to other guys about this, and I said, well, yeah, yeah, 155 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, right place at the right time. He might 156 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: well have been the right place at the right time, 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and there might be people out of here, myself included, 158 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: thinking of myself, well, you know, I would love to 159 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: have been that man. I'd love to be in that 160 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: place at that time. Wasn't he was, And he did 161 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: extremely well. So I'm really really true to see the 162 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: guy getting an absolute and absolute whopper of a medal, 163 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: a massive medal for that man. And rightly, so, so 164 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: there we go. I think we've just about covered the 165 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: Nairobi man's c g C. The Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. What 166 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: a thing, What a thing to have hanging on your chest. 167 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: I wish I haven't, but there you go. I haven't, 168 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: so not much I'm gonna do about. At the age 169 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: of fifty, would have thought either, okay, where we're gonna 170 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: go now, naim so in our news this week then 171 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: obviously we've got the general elections coming up here and 172 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of hullabaloo about the Labor Party. So 173 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to massively tell people they should be this, 174 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: that or the other, all right. The Labor Party is 175 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: what it is. The Labor Party has its policies, The 176 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Conservative Party has their policies, and there's lots of other 177 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: little parties that do their own things bits and pieces, 178 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: but they're not realistically going to get anything in the UK. 179 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: It's going to be it's going to be one or 180 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the other. It's going to be the Conservative Party or 181 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be the Labor Party that win this election. 182 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: That's without a doubt. There ain't nobody else at the 183 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: moment big enough to step in and take even these 184 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: two off. Now, the Labor Leader, the Labor Leader of 185 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: the Leader of the Labor Party is at one times 186 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: Jeremy Corbin. Okay, Now, Jeremy Corbyn doesn't gain any love 187 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: or trust from any serviceman I've ever spoken to. He 188 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: has refused repeatedly to denounce to a free terrorist organizations, 189 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: including hamas, including the Irish Republican Army, of whom we've 190 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: been pictured with, you know on many occasions, of Jerry 191 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: Adams and Martin McGuinness, people that blatantly went up against 192 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: British soldiers, people who blatantly you know, were behind many 193 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: atrocities against British civilians on British soil. Okay, And Jeremy 194 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: Corbyn has been in coops with these people for a 195 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: very very long time and doesn't deny it. Even he 196 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: doesn't deny it's out there. You can look online, you 197 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: can go wherever you like, and you're going to see 198 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: lots and lots and lots of evidence of here and 199 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: schmoozing with people who we consider as terrorists, or certainly 200 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: we did in the day. You know, the fact that 201 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: somebody's people have amost been reprieved and are now calling 202 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: themselves politicians doesn't hold a lot of weight with a 203 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: lot of people who served at the time, especially when 204 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: you look at the fact that we've got this historic 205 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: allegation thing going on whereby our troops are being hauled 206 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: over the coals and possibly facing prosecution, whilst the Irish 207 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: Republican Army were given letters of comfort to ensure them 208 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't be dragged over the coals and wouldn't 209 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: get in any further trouble even if it came to 210 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: light that they had done something wrong. So it's it's 211 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: all wrong, it's all it's all wrong. But at the 212 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: top of this, at the top of this big picture 213 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: sits Jeremy Corbyn. Now, whether you like this, like the 214 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: policies of the Labor Party, it goes a bit deeper 215 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 1: than that, I think for most people. A lot of 216 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: people in this country are saying, you know, yeah, they 217 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: like Labor, they like the Labor Party, that other policies. 218 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: To me, I'm pretty indifferent. It doesn't when you make 219 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of difference to most of stuff that I do. 220 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: To be honest, their policies or not, and quite frankly, 221 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: I think most of them, most of them are completely 222 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: way off the mark. So it doesn't make a lot 223 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: of difference to me. In that respect. However, with a 224 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: man like Jeremy Corbyn, who is so blatantly against our 225 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: armed forces, doesn't turn up to remembrance, praise and that 226 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: sort of stuff where he can help it. And so 227 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: I say he just was refusal to put down or 228 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: condone what the ira A do is absolutely insanely mad 229 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Now, so where am I 230 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: going with this? Well, let's have our butchers. The Independent 231 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: in the UK there reported the British Army and let 232 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: me let me read this for you so we can 233 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: get a British army could stage mutiny under Corpin, say 234 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: the senior serving generals. Guys want to say, generals would 235 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: not allow a prime minister to jeopardize the security of 236 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: the UK. Now, it's well known that that Corbyn has 237 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: rubbed shoulders of all these subversive organization and does almost 238 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: support them in a way publicly, which is which is 239 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. But his policies as regarding things like nuclear 240 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: de tarrent, this is what these generals are saying. It's 241 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: what this general particular is saying that if he started 242 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: to do stuff which was going to undermine the security 243 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: of this country, massive defense cuts, removal of a nuclear 244 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: program and don't seeing different other things. You know, our 245 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: military alliances could get damaged with with with various different 246 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: agencies that we work with quite closely. Now, if he's 247 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: going to do something that's going to jeopardize or lower 248 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: the security of this country, then I think, I think 249 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: what they're getting at, and rightly so, is that something 250 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: quite drastic will have to be done. And although I 251 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: mean it's it's a horrendous thing to be saying that 252 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: there would be more or less. I mean, alright, they're 253 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: saying new to me new And he's a strong word 254 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: on in its own and carried a death sentence in 255 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: many a campaign. Military coup is something that you would 256 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: only really associate with small African countries that want to 257 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: overthrow dictators, not a Western country, which is, to all 258 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: intents and purposes, one of the world leaders. So a 259 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: very very worrying statement should this, should this story turn 260 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: out to be true, would I support a military coup? Well, 261 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, having served myself and having many friends who 262 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: who are still serving, house served and want to serve 263 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: even I would have to say that I feel exactly 264 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: the same as this serving general in as far as 265 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: I genuinely believe that if there was a government in 266 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: place that did not support the will of the people 267 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: in as far as the security of this country, all 268 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: was going to undermine the security of this country, I 269 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: would have to support any action taken by anyone who 270 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: took it. If that shows about trying to sort of 271 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: that'll sound like I'm declaring the military coup myself. I've 272 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: got to say, if there was somebody, you know, detrimental 273 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: to the well being of this country from a security angle, 274 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: then I think I'd have to support them. I mean, 275 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: it's one thing. You know, people are arguing about Brexit 276 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. You know, you could 277 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: argue that the people have voted, people have stopped it. 278 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: It's a mess, But our security isn't the priest. We 279 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: aren't staring down the barrel of being over runner and 280 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: and aren't like that that And I just seriously, you know, 281 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: this is quite a big story for me. So we're 282 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: going to keep one are these elections very very closely 283 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: because like I say, it could that could be a 284 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: massive one. Can you imagine that a military coup in 285 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: the UK doesn't even sound right, does it? That's insane? 286 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: But I will say that's here and I'm mate. I mean, 287 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: the Independent is a is a big paper in the UK, 288 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: and that's what they're saying. A serving general, a serving 289 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: senior general's basically saying that, you know, there's a possibility 290 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: that should Jeremy Corbyn getting the army would have to mutiny. Well, 291 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: that's that's outrageous. I mean, as general's supposed to serves 292 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Again, he goes on 293 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: about saying he was sickened by Mr Corbyn's refusal to 294 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: condemn the IRA, which killed seven thirty troops and injured 295 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: seven thousand more during the conflict. That's a lot of people, 296 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: the general said. He also said, let's let's have another thing. 297 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: The general said many soldiers are disgusted by the comments 298 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: of Corbyn and John McDowell about the IRA, many who 299 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: have not only murdered British soldiers but also hundreds of 300 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: members of their own community. Responding to the general suggestion 301 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: of a potential mutineer among members of the armedforces, a 302 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: senior Labor source told The Independent, it does seem like 303 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: a quite extraordinary statement. Labor's newly appointed Shadow Secretary, Hillary 304 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Ben has said he does not believe Labor would back 305 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: even nuclear disarment or withdrawal from military alliance. Mr Gorbyn 306 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: had early announced he would be pulling out to stop 307 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: the war coalitions andual conference due to a busy schedule. 308 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: You go, speculation, speculation and what sales newspapers speculation. Of 309 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: course it does. So that's the Independent making some massive 310 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: waves in the UK leaning towards the military coup. Well, 311 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: how just the thought if I'm even saying that is 312 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: absolutely just for the record. Let's just make it clear 313 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm not endorsing one way or another or trying to 314 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: encourage on one way over another a military coup. Alright, 315 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: so it's nothing to do with me. And you were 316 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: here first, right, so you go, I've only saying what 317 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: a story on the Independent, and like I say, they 318 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: have not stuck anybod her names to the face. So 319 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: when somebody comes out of a story and says a 320 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: serving general but doesn't give his name, well maybe the 321 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: red flags are up already on this one. Let's just 322 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: see which way it goes and who wins. That's my 323 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: little bit of news. And I'm also excited to talk 324 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: about a new sponsor and just to talk about sponsorship 325 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: in general. We've we've had a really big show on 326 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: San Fred Bradio and twos for a while, and I've 327 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: you know, there's been times where we we've let a 328 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: couple of sponsors, like it just got too almost too 329 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: too many sponsors on the shows. We dialed it back 330 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: because we're really I think careful with you know who 331 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: we who we partner with.

I have a dog 376 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: personally because I love dogs and I always like another 377 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: dog I've had. I've had Scottish Terriers. Okay, my choice 378 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: of dog is scott Terrier. My topic and my choice 379 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: of dog this week is the Scottish Terrier, right, the 380 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: little Scotty, the black little Scotties right, the ones not 381 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: don't get them refused to the West Highland Terriers, right, 382 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: because that really gets that really gets me down. A 383 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: Scottish Terrier or Aberdeen Terrier, as as as they have 384 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: been known before, is the black one, the one that 385 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: looks like the monopoly dock. All right, let's have a 386 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: cook chat about them. Then where do they come from? Where? 387 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: They are predominantly a Scottish Terrier from Norfolk the border, 388 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: but they've been bred in the UK for quite some time. 389 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: I mean they're you know, they first started to appear 390 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: early hundreds older fought and then they they bread them in. 391 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: Some people say it's one of these dogs has been 392 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: overbread They are susceptible to councer and that sort of 393 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: stuff that you can't get a few health issues with them. 394 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Why do I love my Scottish Terrier? I'll tell you 395 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: why I love my Scottish Terrier because militarily, if you 396 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: look back at Scottish history, there was a guy then 397 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to get his name right now, and he 398 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: basically there were lots of stories about these dogs. They 399 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: actually call them die hards, okay, and the Royal Scots 400 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: and I think it was the the fourth some some 401 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: earl or jew or something. Anyway, someone high up in 402 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: the Royal Scots are in the late eighteen under and 403 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: took over. The Royal Scots were reported to have a 404 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: pack of these dogs, and they took him everywhere and 405 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: they fought absolutely ferociously and they were the loyal dogs. 406 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: Now I can tell him now that Andrew, my Scottish terrier, 407 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: Andrew being a scott Whish name, Okay, is an extremely, 408 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: extremely loyal dog. He doesn't straight from us. He will 409 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: sit at your feet all day if somebody comes in. 410 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: He's not nutter. He's not a nutter. He doesn't go 411 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: banging and barking on. But I tell him know, if 412 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: he went went after it, he probably he probably has 413 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: something to say about it. Okay. I call him the 414 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: double Dial because he's got massive, massive teeth, all right. 415 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: He looks like a little teddy bear. He looks all 416 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: cute and cudding. But when you lift up his jowl 417 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: and I have a look inside his teeth, Wow, they 418 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: are big, all right. So the way he was designing, 419 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: the way he's been bred then, was to send him 420 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: into holes for things like badgers and rats. So he's 421 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: a ratter essentially. But they bread them. They bread them 422 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: quite powerful, so that they could send them down a 423 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: hole with his big teeth ripping and tearing and pull 424 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: a badger out. Okay. Now, badgers are quite a quite 425 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: a fierce animal in the UK. Have a look at badger. 426 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: Google badger if you're from the States. If you're not 427 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: familiar with them over there. I'm not sure if you 428 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: have them or not. But the badger is quite a 429 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: fierce animal. He's descended dog in after a badger. He's 430 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: got to be a fearless dog, all right, So you 431 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: get down there. He sink his teeth into his badger 432 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: all right. Now, the tails in a Scottish terrier extremely thick. 433 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: If you hold them, they feel like a piece of rope, 434 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: a thick piece of rope, and they've actually been bread 435 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: says that you can pull the tails. So you pull dog, 436 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: badger and anything else that's attached out of the hole, 437 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: all right. His back legs are quite big and strong, 438 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: so he will be will be holding himself from being 439 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: pulled into the hole, and you you hold onto his 440 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: tail and pull him out with the badger. So that's 441 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: the way that they are a hardy dog. They are 442 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: very very hardy dog. I'm gonna say that the Royal 443 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: Scots actually used to take them into battle and they 444 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: fought extremely hard. These doctored so for me straightaway, just 445 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: looking at the type of breeding type of dog at us, 446 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: all right. He's not a guard dog in particular, but 447 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: he's a lovely little dog, and I live in a 448 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: small flat in London, so I can't really ever have 449 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: a bruising, great big thing. Right, when did they first 450 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: come over to America. They came over to America again 451 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds, it must have been. I think they 452 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: were the first reported in America. And it's the only dog, 453 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: as is only two types of dogs that have ever 454 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: frequented the White House three times, and Alsatians have lived 455 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: in there three times. The Scottish terriers have also lived 456 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: in the White House three towns and one time is 457 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt. He had a Scottish terrier and there's actually 458 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: on his on his statue he's got a Scottish Terrier 459 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: with him, which is which is quite a cool. George 460 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: Bush he had seven of them. He had a pack 461 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: of Scottish terriers, which is quite cool. Like they say, 462 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: they are an extremely cool animal. Like to say, the 463 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: history of them a bread, bread, bread and bread them 464 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: down and did you look this is this is a 465 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: strange thing about dogs. Actually it takes ninety years, ninety 466 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: odd years, and that is something like six to eight 467 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: generations of dog to create a breed. And then obviously 468 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: they fine tune it. If you over breed it, obviously 469 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: you've start geting a few problems. But the Scotty, like 470 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: I say, has come from back Haunds nicknamed a die 471 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: hard from its days where it used to go in 472 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: the battle. The Royal Scots, and I think that's the 473 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: Royal Scots are actually known as the die hard Scots 474 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: or something like that. Though they really do have this. 475 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: This dog has made a lasting impact on quite a 476 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: fine old regiment of Scottish regiment okay, known as the 477 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: die Hards. So the dog was actually nicknamed a die 478 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: hard for a bit as well. So they really have 479 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: got a punchy, little punching attitude of these dogs. And 480 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: and that's why I like him, because he punches well 481 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: above his weight. That's young Andrew. He's a lovely little dog. 482 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: So that's my choice of dog. And I thought it 483 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: would be it'd be nice to cover dogs. So don't 484 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: forget on social media. I'm a big field campaign on Instagram, 485 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big field camping on Twitter and on Facebook. 486 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: Everything's that big field camping. If you want, if you 487 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: want to feature your dog, or you want me to 488 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: talk about your dog in particular, I'll feature your dog 489 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: on here and let me know what your dog is. 490 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. I'm gonna I'm gonna cover two three. 491 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: I've actually got a dog expert, a friend of Minael, 492 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: Danny Lions. He trains dogs. He did all the dogs 493 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: for the Olympics, search dogs, sniffer dogs, this dog, that dog. 494 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: But his main thing at the moment he does the 495 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: tak dogs. And they are absolutely superb dogs. What a 496 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: creature that watched working and working dogs with a different 497 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: kale offish altogether? All right, Andrew is a lovely dog. 498 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: Scotty's aren't really working dogs, to be honest anymore.
