26
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Nine hundred years and so it's outside London. Yes, yeah,

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: it's in a place called winter hence the Winter Castle.

28
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: And you play along if you want to hope, and

29
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: so it is about hour on the train, right, it's

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: a tox got to be honest, and I was going,

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: it's a castle, it's nine hundred years.

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: That's like, that's not their language, is it. That's not TikTok?

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: So no, I persuade them and they go with me.

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 2: Right, And on the way there, I'm starting to google

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: castle facts. So I'm going, I've got a couple of

36
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: castle facts here, and they can pick up the whiff

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: of desperation about me. He's really setting this. So when

38
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: we get off the train and then we walked to

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: winter Castle. You see it straight away.

40
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: It's stunning. It's a huge castle.

41
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: It is immaculate. Queenie lives there, right, and I see

42
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: that the flag is flying, which means she's there, Like, oh.

43
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: My god, she's in there. We probably made her. We'll

00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: all that way and it was closed. What's your story

76
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: for us?

77
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were in New York and we decided to

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: go out to Carney Island, a family of five. So

79
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: we caught the train down in the dodgy subway and

80
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: went past Queen's and all these other great places. Anyway,

81
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: so we got to Carney Island and yeah, it was closed.

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: So I couldn't believe it.

83
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: But it's a sketchy area out there as well, really

84
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: sketchy area.

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely. But when we got off the station and we

86
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: were just leaving the station, we saw a man walking

87
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: his pet pig on a leave, just like you walk me.

88
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: It wasn't all there worth going for that, Yeah, no,

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: so it was quite interesting. So we got some photos

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: with a pig and yes, so we end up going

91
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: for a nice walk along the beach.

92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: So you got your boats that can win the pig,

93
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: but not the pig and the owner just a pig.

94
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's just a pig. And I'm saying it

95
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: was you know, the weird things you say in America.

96
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: Totally.

97
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: But we also found out that that's where they have

98
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: the hot dog eating competition every year, and so the

99
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: current record at the time was something like I think

100
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: it was seventy six hot dogs. Some guy ate in

101
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: like whatever it is five minutes or you know, something

102
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: crazy like that.

103
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like there was a lot of time on

104
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: your hands just trying to get random facts about the area.

105
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: Well, there you go. Next time in New York, maybe

106
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: we'll go there again.

107
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,080
