Speaker 1: Welcome to Them, Christian No Common Show podcast. I couldn't
Speaker 1: get enough of an emerging news story coming from Scotland yesterday.
Speaker 1: We have these big TVs out here in the office
Speaker 1: where the sales team set. Therese massive big TV's got
Speaker 1: I don't know why they have the news on, by
Speaker 1: the way, it's always got the news on. But anyway,
Speaker 1: they had like this big flash up. The headline was
Speaker 1: Immersive Wonker Experience horrifies children and it was some sort
Speaker 1: of made up from a very funny satirical American website,
Speaker 1: The Onion, and I got my phone out to take
Speaker 1: a photo because I immediately thought I need to know
Speaker 1: about this. It's not something you don't annoyally see that together.
Speaker 1: It felt like the ghost of Wonka was putting this
Speaker 1: together because you know, basically, four kids died in the
Speaker 1: original Wonker Immersive Walker Experience. Those people are lucky they
Speaker 1: left with their wives and only losing their lives, only
Speaker 1: losing seventy bucks. But in Scotland, what was advertised as
Speaker 1: Willie's Chocolate Experience, charging seventy bucks entry, it was an
Speaker 1: immersive experience. The promise to transport Winnie Wonka fans to
Speaker 1: a magical realm was such a letdown that they called
Speaker 1: the police and said it looked like a meth lab.
Speaker 1: This is what happened to some of the people that
Speaker 1: were in train spotting. They try to rip off all
Speaker 1: Scottish families and the police were called. They called the police.
Speaker 1: Imagine you had such a bad experience at a kid's
Speaker 1: non attraction.
Speaker 2: You called the police. But it was so bad, it's awful.
Speaker 2: It's built inside a warehouse. Yeah, and it's so sparsely
Speaker 2: fitted out. It looks like a local primary school could
Speaker 2: have done a better job of making it look magical.
Speaker 1: Screams a small radio station trying to promote the movie
Speaker 1: Winnie Wonka unofficially days that was a lot of obis.
Speaker 1: But to charge on sefty bucks to go to a
Speaker 1: Scottish warehouse, according to the BBC, a sparsely decorated warehouse
Speaker 1: with a scattering of plastic prime, a small bouncy castle.
Speaker 1: And then there was also that children were given one
Speaker 1: jelly bean and at half a cup of supermarket home
Speaker 1: brand lemon. Even CNN reporting on it, there was no
Speaker 1: captivating entertainment, no paradise of sweet treats as was advertised.
Speaker 1: One actor who was hired to work the event, described
Speaker 1: it as quote where dreams.
Speaker 2: Go to die.
Speaker 3: Oh damn.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you have you've seen it, No, I haven't. Oh
Speaker 1: my word, there's some I don't know whether she's an
Speaker 1: actress or she's.
Speaker 2: She's like one of the umple lumpers. Yeah, dressed is
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 1: Behind what does look like a meth lab. It's it
Speaker 1: is actually sort of chemicals in flassnet where the frozen
Speaker 1: look on her face looks like she's questioning all the
Speaker 1: life choices that have led to that precise moment. The BBC,
Speaker 1: obviously they do. They are one of the biggest broadcasters
Speaker 1: in the world. They do a massive phone and at
Speaker 1: midday kind of like Neil Mitchell, but you talk about
Speaker 1: ten or eleven million people listening. Shot huge. Jeremy Vine
Speaker 1: the BBC. I've worked for the BBC for years. You
Speaker 1: are not allowed to have bad language on there. It's
Speaker 1: like a major thing. Soe Carson, who was there and
Speaker 1: sweat and I think it's the right use to swear word.
Speaker 1: It's the only way to describe someone like that. Jeremy Vine,
Speaker 1: the host, is not happy with the swearing. He's more
Speaker 1: upset with the swearing than actually the kids being ripped off.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think part of my language, the bad way
Speaker 3: of describing it. It was an absolute shit show. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's try and if we can keep the language a
Speaker 3: little bit cleaner, that would be okay. That's fine. You've you've,
Speaker 3: you've done it, and you've said it.
Speaker 1: Don't ever do that again, please, I mean, Jeremy, come here,
Speaker 1: listen to the radio here, you'd be horrified, sir.
Speaker 3: I think part of my language, the bad way of
Speaker 3: describing it.
Speaker 1: It was an absolute ship show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's try and if we can keep the language
Speaker 3: a little bit cleaner, that would be. Okay. That's fine.
Speaker 3: You've you've, you've done it, and you've said it. It must
Speaker 3: never happen. That's done. It's done. Anyway.
Speaker 1: You need you need these, you need these photos in
Speaker 1: your life. Trust me. Right today, when you get a moment,
Speaker 1: google the news story. It's increble. Look at the lady
Speaker 1: mind
