Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation. I want to show you some footage, Brendan.
I saw this last night and I'm fascinated. It's King
Charles on a walk about. He's in Italy at the moment,
celebrating his twentieth wedding anniversary with Camilla had he married
twenty years. What a story. But this isn't that, this
isn't their recent trip. But he's walking around the streets
(00:22):
and he's got a security detail behind him. Have a look.
I'm going to show you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
They look like you could take those guys pretty easily.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
They don't look like American beefy security. But this is
the English. You know, their police aren't armed. It's that
kind of thing. But speaking of armed and arms, have
a look at the hands and the arms of the
security guard, who's just a middle aged man standing right
behind him the screen. So Charles is walking through the
(00:54):
man behind him, his security detail, who just looks like
his accountant, is walking along behind him, and he has
his fingers, his arms in front of him and he's
holding his fingers together.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, he's like at the ready, I'm imagining what happens.
Someone you know, Johnny terrorist comes out, gives him some
flowers and then old mate just goes with his hands,
but his hands are.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
More closely because I think either one or both of
the arms is fake. That's what someone else is saying.
Here has King Charles security guard got fake arms? The
right arm. They're saying here, maybe look how the right
arm looks weird. He doesn't move his hands. The ones
the other security details have occasionally have their hands like that,
but move them around a bit. His arms and hands
(01:41):
do not move. Have a look the one that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Behind him, I'm watching, and the other guy's got it too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But the other one, yeah, But the one behind him,
the one who's right at his back, the one there doesn't.
This person is saying the right arm is fake and
will be on a weapon inside the coat.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh koi ah yeah. Johnny terrorist thinks, okay, here's my time,
and he's singing all made here and then bang Jason
stathen's him.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
He's got three arms and throws everyone and.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Rolf Harris comes out, hold my beer and all the
kids run away.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, someone here, who is one of the world's leading
specialists encounter terrorism, et cetera et cetera, said that he
says that decoy armed are not used for the royal family.
He said that while the tactic might be us in
the US, it wouldn't be employed by the guards in
the UK. But then they say here, that's exactly what
they want you to think.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You know, whenever I get my younger son to do
any labor around the house, he's got decoy arms on
they painted on.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I've got another story. This is a story from a
zoo in Rotterdam where if you want to look at
the gorilla, they hand you glasses that have eyes painted
on them that point away in the same direction that
so you can see straight through. So you're doing sid
(03:03):
you're doing side eye as designed to prevent direct eye
contact with the gorillas to reduce the stress and aggression
in the animals. There was an incident there a number
of years ago. This woman used to visit the gorilla constantly,
and because it made eye contact with her, she thought
we're friends. Then it tried to attack her.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Didn't she see gorillas in the mist.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
These eye contact. Prolonged eye contact is perceived as a
threat or a challenge to gorillas. So these glasses obscure
the wearer's eyes from the gorilla's view and allow for
a safer, a more comfortable observation experience.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
A look.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Everyone looks slightly deranged, but that way they can look happily.
At the gorilla. I like to wear the mind. Look
at Prince Charles.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The fake arms a fake.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I've got a bottle of wine every moment inside my coat.
Can the big garuger ones.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Look?
Speaker 1 (03:56):

don't have to thank you.
