1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. You and I have a world record.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Well it was a short lived world record, but we

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: gloried in it while it was there. We broke the

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: world record, the Guinness World Record for broadcasting underwater in

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: a fish tank. We did our show underwater for three hours.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: Three and a half hours, thanks, three and a half hour.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: And we did the yum char one as well. That

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: was another one.

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: That's right, that's what we've got, two biggest yum jar Yeah, yeah,

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: two world records. On this day in nineteen seventy two,

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: I found something great from the BBC archives. A man

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: called Paul Wills broke a world record. It's an unusual one.

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: It's how long could he keep two live ferrets down

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: one pair of pants that he's wearing. So you see

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: mister Wills being interviewed by Esther Ransen, who was a

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: very famous English journalist. She speaks so beautifully, and you

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: see him gearing up to put the ferrets down his pants.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: And what he does is he puts on a pair

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: of pants. He hires them at the knee to keep

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: the ferrets in the groin region because apparently that's what.

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: You're supposed to do, is that really a necessity. Is

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: that like articulation that's just a bit high, so they're

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: stuck right. He was going to make sure they focus

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: on one area.

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: And they put these ferrets with awful teeth and awful nails,

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: shove them in two of them, and then he has

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: to hold the pants tight around the waist for as

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 1: long as he can while the ferrets are in there,

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and during I'll play some of the audio while it's happening,

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: they are obviously trying to get out, and you can

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: see their nails and teeth through the fabric of his pants.

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing here. It is so well as

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: well as the first time you put a ferret down

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: your trousers.

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Well, the first time I've done it. The chaps I

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: worked with, you know, they dare me to do it.

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: So I went home and got my ferret, brought it

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: in and I had done it in the canteen. The

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: record don was thirty six seconds, and they said to me,

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: could I keep it down longer?

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: War isn't entirely genitle, is it?

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I mean, don't fair have teeth?

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're telling me they got teeth.

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: I've been once or twice final where.

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 3: Well, I remember about twelve months ago, I just had

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: one of the cage and she had the really young

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: ones and I must have disturbed her in some way

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: and she let on my hand. I had to go

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: three four stitches in my finger.

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, that's true. Is the timekeeper with us?

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: I just hold the pants tight so they can't get

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: at the top as well as you can see they're scratched,

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: but I got the smaller scratch on the back and

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: way a time elapse one minute.

55
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 5: You've done a minute.

56
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: Four three two one.

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Now, congratulations mister Wallace.

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: Well you are definitely the world record holder for two

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: ferrets down one pair of trousers.

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Well, they all asked him how he felt. No one

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: asked the ferrets. They looked hard when they came out.

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: Ferrets used to be a thing that was, that was

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: what entertainment passed off as.

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: On Saturday, some guy put a ferret down his pants

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: on the midday show. Multiple times we'd have people as

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: entertainers on the show whose big thing is watch me

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: put a ferret down.

68
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: My pants and raid goo top blokes and Aussie sorts

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 4: and shielders and.

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: Ferrets and ferreens down.

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't see the entertainment value. And I don't know

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: why we've stopped. Why don't we just putting a handful

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: of funnel webs down my pants? Why don't we up

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: the ant?

75
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Well, everything's up now. Have you said? There's a show

76
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: on foxtail now?

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: And it's about the bite masters or sting masts, all

78
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: these guys getting stung by stuff.

79
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: That's where we're at. The jeopardy has been upped.

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: So ferret's no longer enough.

81
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: I got the world record now is for two ferrets

82
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: down the pants? Do we know?

83
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. He did two minutes, Ryan. Can

84
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: you google? And it's got to be two ferrets down

85
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: one pair of pants. They're quite specific at the old Guinness.

86
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: World googling that we used to go ferreting when I

87
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: was a kid.

88
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: We'd go rabbit and with mcgramad and he put a

89
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: ferret down there.

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Because that's what they're bread for, the ferrets.

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: And he didn't have his own ferrets. He'd hire them

92
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: from a.

93
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Mate and the ferret would go down the rabbit hole and.

94
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: Then there'd be a little net at the other end

95
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: of the rabbit hole and the rabbit had come out,

96
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: and then Grandad to get the rabbit and break its neck.

97
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: And what about the ferret? It'd come out and he'd

98
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: catch that too.

99
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'd go into the net too, and then he

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: put it back in the cage and then we'd take

101
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 4: it home and eat the rabbit.

102
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Don't get that wrong? Would so he was doing it

103
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: not to get rid of rabbits from his property.

104
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: But to eat them sheep. That's what we ate back then.

105
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: Rabbit still can't eat the stuff. Dreadful, jam I.

106
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, so I was having a quick google. The

107
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: sport was dominated by this guy called Reg Meller for

108
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: decades from Barnsley. He was a retired miner and he

109
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: set the new world record for five hours and twenty

110
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: six minutes in nineteen eighty one, but then in nineteen

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: eighty six he tried to break his own record, trying

112
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 5: to get to six hours, but then after five hours

113
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 5: most of the people watching became bored and lefts workmen

114
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: arrived to dismantle the stage despite his protest that he

115
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: was on his way to make a new record, and

116
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: that stood until twenty ten where Frank Bartlett, who is

117
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 5: a retired headmaster and Christine Farnsworth broke his record. It

118
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: was five hours and thirty minutes.

119
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: Wow, imagine that the Ignomy. You've got it all set

120
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: up there.

121
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm going I've got another half hour and me Yeah whatever, mate,

122
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: yeah whatever,
