I just got a phone call from my mother-in-law.
Wait, wait, wait.
We haven't really started yet.
We've got to do the music.
We've got to do the theme song.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, we've only done like a hundred times.
So this is how we do the opening. I ask Jim, hey, do you have your words? And then he sits there, looks do the music. We've got to do the theme song. Oh, yes. Yeah, we've only done like a hundred. So this is how we do the opening.
I ask Jim, hey, do you have your words?
And then he sits there, looks around the room,
comes up with some ideas, and then let me know when you're ready.
Oh, God, I'm ready to go.
All right, John, play the theme song.
Alcohol.
White people.
Do we have any people of colour in this room?
Well, you just might find out.
And I don't know about that.
With me, Jim Jefferies.
We do? I couldn't see.
You all look the same to me.
I'm sorry.
All the fans of the podcast, they look the same. me I'm sorry all the fans of the podcast
they look the same
so thank you for coming
this is our first live podcast
as I was saying
there's Kelly and Forrest and Jack
we're all here
I know our expert already
because I've been sitting backstage with her
but we'll meet her in a minute
my mother-in-law
I want to give a shout out to Becca at home
because Becca
she writes me she wished me good luck today because it was our first live podcast a minute. My mother-in-law, I want to give a shout out to Becca at home because Becca,
she writes me and she wished me good luck today because it was our first live podcast.
She never does that for any of my other gigs. And the last episode she listened to was the one about hemorrhoids. Everyone listen to the hemorrhoids episode? It's very Dr.
Wait, has everyone heard the podcast?
You got to, you got to.
It's not up to me. There you go.
That's why they're here.
It's advertised as such.
Everybody's listened to the podcast here, right, I'm assuming?
Yes.
Okay.
Doesn't sound like everybody.
All right, cool.
All right.
Some people not clapping back there.
So you're just saying hemorrhoids out loud.
People are like, yeah.
I didn't know if people...
Yeah.
So anyway, so...
So I did the episode on hemorrhoids and that type of stuff.
And I said something about my wife.
I said that my wife clogged up two toilets whilst in Hawaii with what she thinks is regular shit.
Now, very clearly, my wife, I believe, is using too much paper.
She says it's got nothing to do with the paper.
It's the size of the turd.
And I said, there's no way in the world, because I've done some big, my wife's a a petite person there's no way her shit's so big that it clogs up toilets anyway that was all I
said my mother-in-law rings me up very not really angry as such but she wants to confirm something
she goes I'm rung up to defend my daughter because I also do shits that are that big
that clog up the toilet and uh so there's nothing wrong with it.
So I'd like to apologise.
Becky, you're right.
The both of you do massive turds.
No, I'll tell you what, Becca.
This is the deal.
Neither of you are using toilet paper properly.
I don't know what you're doing in there,
but I can't go in.
But you're not doing it properly
because you're an elephant.
As long as it's the paper that's clogging it up.
You won't be able to confirm it, you're saying. I can't confirm
it, but they don't know how to shit properly.
I've got to say, our hemorrhoids episode,
we got the most comments ever that
people could not finish the episode because they were
so disgusted. So I am happy
that you started this live podcast
with more shit talk.
So, perfect.
Glad you guys are here. Thanks for coming.

Get back to the lettuce.
It didn't work.
Gas on the lettuce.
All right.
It's a cartoon of a woman with big...
It's a stick figure with big boobs.
Dolly Parton?
What does she have to do with lettuce?
Are you just saying that that's the shape of a boob
plus the other things is a boob?
It was working.
So is it Dolly Parton?
It's not Dolly Parton.
It's a famous actress.
Oh, it's about a famous actress.
What kind of lettuce is that?
That was Kate Winslet.
What kind of lettuce is that?
Kate Winslet?
It was clearly Kate Winslet naked.
What kind of lettuce is that?
The Titanic.
Yes.
Nice.
Didn't we do the Titanicanic no we did not no i this is we haven't done this okay so this is the funny thing about this we've been doing this podcast now for almost three and a half years
and titanic has been on my list since day one so i immediately googled tit experts. I emailed a bunch of people. I get an email back that says,
you've now emailed two of us.
The is not interested in being associated
with this type of podcast.
Like, sorry, I didn't know you fucking nerds were in a club.
Like, they're not used to going down well.
Going down badly.
The joke would have fucking crushed if I said badly.
So it finishes the email.
Please do not contact anyone at the...
Again.
Needless to say, I'm glad it didn't work out with them
because Dawn's fucking awesome.
She knows her shit and we're going to have a fun time.
I had, when I
was making Legit, I had the same
thing with the John Denver
estate.
I kept on wanting to have a John Denver song
on Legit and I put it in the script and everything
like that and they sent me back a letter going
the John Denver estate
not now or ever
want to be involved with this show.
Fuckin' hell, John Denver Estate.
All right, so Dawn Brody has a degree in history and theatre
from the University of Minnesota.
She's appeared on the History Channel series Crazy Rich Ancients.
And please subscribe to her podcast, Health History.
I'd like to fuck. It's a great podcast.
And on Instagram, you can find her
at Don underscore Brody and at Hilf Podcast.
You've been on the podcast
before. You can say
whatever you want to say now.
That's so nice. I say fuck those
dweebs at the official.
They were extremely old
and white so they would have been very boring.
You know there is a thing
in elitist you know circles
the idea is that you try as
an educated degreed person
to kind of keep our
our work pristine
and don't talk to the guy who says cunt all the time
and is
but I have the word fuck
in my podcast so
but also you can reach people through me
that's right
okay so a lot of my fans know nothing about anything in my podcast. Yeah, yeah. But also, you can reach people through me. That's right.
Okay, so. A lot of my fans
know nothing about anything.
It's really valuable.
And they needed this.
Vessels.
Yes, shaping.
So, I'm going to ask Jim
a series of questions
about the Titanic
and then after answering them,
you're going to grade them
on accuracy, Don,
zero through ten.
Kelly's going to grade them
on confidence.
I'm going to grade them
on et cetera.
We'll add all the scores together. If you get 21
through 30, Jim, tight, tannic.
11 through 20,
gin and tannic. That doesn't make sense.
0 through 10, satanic.
You don't want that one. Maybe you do.
I don't know.
Are we doing the movie
or are we doing the actual thing?
That actually is a fair question.
That's a fair question.
Because if we're doing a movie,
then I've got to talk about...
Because you put out the jewel
because that's from the fucking movie.
And you have a lot of hot takes about the movie.
I watched the movie recently with me son.
Go for it.
But I watched it just from the moment the iceberg hit.
If you watch it just from then,
it's a fucking banger of a film.
If you have to watch all that other shit
fuck, it's a long movie.
It happens right in the middle.
It's like the midpoint.
Rose, terrible human being.
Just take the guy's number
and meet him when you get on shore.
You fucking came on the boat with this other fella.
Don't be fucking some guy in economy in the back seat of a fucking Ford
and think you're the hero of the fucking piece.
Rose is one of the most atrocious human beings that has ever lived.
Yeah, because then she holds him hostage on the boat, remember?
Oh.
Yeah. I thought you were going to keep...
I just think that Billy Zane,
the gun wasn't enough.
To answer your question, we're talking about
the actual historical event.
The actual historical event.
The movie taught me so much.
The movie gets a lot right.
I think the movie will help you.
I have blue and red ink on my pen,
and I will give you honorable mention
if you just accurately reference the film.
What about the boat that was built in Belfast?
I know that won't be a question,
but I should get a bonus point.
Wow.
Wow.
I don't know if we put that in there.
We did.
They only built two things,
the Titanic and the DeLorean.
Fucking don't trust Northern Irish builders.
All right, here we go.
I'm telling you, it's all they ever fucking built.
They're not good, too busy fucking bombing each other.
Hot take.
All right.
When did the Titanic take off on her maiden voyage and from where?
When did the Titanic take off on her maiden voyage and from where?
I believe she, I don't think she left from Belfast.
I think she left, I'm going to say from Bournemouth or Southampton or Portsmouth.
I'm going to say Southampton.
And I'm going to say the year was 1912.
Okay.
What was the intended destination?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
It might not be 1912.
I have to think how old that woman was when I saw that movie.
It's been 86 years.
It's been 86 years.
So 86 years.
And she must have been at least... Rose must have been 14.
At least.
At least.
So...
I'm going to move it up to 1924.
What was the intended destination of the Titanic's maiden voyage?
I guess where?
New York, New York.
What was the Titanic's slogan?
We have enough lifeboats.
Catchy.
No, no, no.
It was that it was unsinkable.
The unsinkable ship.
That's the slogan?
Yeah, but they used to say
that it was unsinkable.
Okay.
What ship prefix
was given to the Titanic?
The blank Titanic.
They, him.
Yeah.
You don't want to talk out of step in front of the fucking titanic i tell you
you'll get yourself in trouble with the fucking titanic pronouns fuck me
yeah very progressive uh what what was the length of the titanic uh three hours, Forrest.
That's your final answer?
I've seen it because they redid it at the moment.
They did a digital thing.
They sent a summer round, they digitally did it,
and they fit it in the stadium, West Ham football stadium.
That was a broken half of it plus a thing so i'll say it's about one and a half football stadiums
okay do you know who designed it the ship um uh uh uh george titanic
i think that's right yeah uh how many days was the Titanic sailing before
it hit the iceberg
I got a lot of
opinions on that
what
oh yeah
I reckon
I reckon it was like
it was like
day
okay
so they
they get on the boat
she comes on
with the hat
she fucking walks around a bit So they get on the boat. She comes on with the hat.
She fucking walks around a bit.
She walks around a bit.
We've got a lot of questions. No, wait, I'm going to get there.
I'm going to get there.
So he walks around with the hat.
And then she meets Jack because she's going to kill herself that night,
won't she?
That night she's jumping off the fucking end of the boat.
Jack comes along, stops her from suicide.
And so Jack's alright.
So then Jack gets rewarded, so that's
the second night. Then the second
night,
the second night, she goes, do you want to go
down to a real party? And they go,
bloody, you spit around a bit
in economy.
So that's the second night.
This is the new Wikipedia synopsis.
Then that day, he shags her.
The next day.
It was the night of the third day.
It was the third night.
I tuned out there for a second, but all right.
Thank you.
Third night.
How long...
Oh, I already just asked that one
fuck that's why you should take for the sink after the iceberg oh no because that that is
accurate to the film the questions are up here too if you know yeah i don't need to check i just
listen to you um uh so from the time it hit is an's an hour 40 in the movie.
The movie's not completely accurate because there'd be a little bit extra.
Two hours from iceberg to sink.
Okay.
Upon hearing of the incident, the American press erroneously reported what?
That the Titanic had sunk.
That was another thing.
That's correct.
There was also another boat called the Olympic.
It was an error, though, that the press reported.
That was the second boat.
And there's a conspiracy that that one sunk
and it wasn't the Titanic.
Okay, we're just going to keep going.
All right. Who was the captain? The reporter who responded. I don't know. sunk and it wasn't the Titanic. Okay, we're just going to keep going.
Who was the captain? The reporter who responded.
I don't know.
Who was the captain of the Titanic?
Blake with a beard.
Yeah.
Are you writing down red, blue?
Okay, cool.
Yeah, Blake with a beard.
And he was good.
He was good.
He went down with it.
He didn't get on a fucking boat.
He's all right, him.
How many people were on board?
He was a terrible steerer. How many people were on terrible steerer
how many people
were on board
the Titanic
ah
it was about
two thousand
two thousand
souls died
and so I'm
going to say
one thousand
five hundred
probably
I'm going to say
three and a half
thousand people
okay now lifeboats
you mentioned that
how many were on the Titanic and how many were launched after
the crash there was so you got to count deck chairs so I gotta say I got a
regular I got a regular eight or nine deck chairs is one lifeboat right I don't understand this calculation I reckon you'd be looking at
there would be 28 of them okay how many were launched there was 28 total and 28 He gets remarkably close with his weird mouth. So fucked up. Is that close? I think so.
Okay.
How many were launched?
There was 28 total and 28 were launched?
I believe in the movie they were all launched.
People were just throwing them off in the end, weren't they?
The best way to get on was with a baby.
You know what?
Those people got to live, live, live.
So fuck you if you're a violinist.
You're a dead cunt right now, aren't you?
Do you know who Violet Jessop is?
Her name's up there.
You know that question?
Violet Jessop.
No, she's the unsinkable Molly.
Yep.
I don't know who she is.
How many people survived?
2,000 survived.
Okay.
No, 2,000 died.
1,500 survived.
Okay.
What was the name of the ship that responded to the Titanic's distress signals?
It was one of those party ships.
Gambling ship?
That you have corporate functions on
I've been in one of those right
and been the entertainment
and then had like
a really really bad gig
and then the boat doesn't go back to shore
for like three hours
and you just have to wander around
as people tell you you were shit
you know
how much time elapsed between the Titanic's distress calls have to wander around as people tell you you were shit, you know.
How much time elapsed between the Titanic's distress calls and the arrival of the Carpathia?
Well, Carpathia can take years
to come.
Carpal tunnel?
What is he talking about?
Carpathic?
What's up there? Carpathia.
Oh, that would be the name of the boat.
Yeah, you don't get credit for that.
Carpathia, the party ship.
No credit.
Yeah, no, that's the...
Carpathia.
Carpathia.
Yeah, the ship arrived, right?
How much time...
Oh, that would have been fucking three hours.
And they would have been coming through icebergs,
bashing into Jack's head.
Just through the corpses.
What's the approximate cost of building the Titanic?
Too soon on the Titanic.
Have you seen that inflatable castle of the Titanic?
So I showed my kid the Titanic.
Jack, get this up for me.
There's an...
Don't...
Get me...
Just when you get a chance.
Jack, Jack, don't listen to him.
Come on, Jack, do this.
Get up for me.
You won't lose this bit.
Get Titanic inflatable bouncy castle.
Oh.
Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Try to type fast so nobody can see your search history.
Oh, shit.
There's a lot of people with Titanic. Inflatable. Oh, yeah. Yeah, might. You're going to fight fast so nobody can see your search history? Oh, shit. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Inflatable.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
Inflatable slide, yeah?
Slide.
There it is.
Now, get a big picture of it.
Oh.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Now, we get the one with the kid coming down.
That's the one.
Ha, ha.
There it is.
Ha, ha. There it is. Oh, my one. There it is.
There it is.
It's not too soon for the jokes, you see.
And you know what?
You know how much it costs? It's not that bad.
It's like four or five grand. I've looked
into it.
I show that to myself.
It's like four or five grand. No'm Jeffrey it's like for a business though
it's a company you're not gonna make your money back first few fucking slides
oh you mean to buy the whole thing by the rent it out it's a business to
learn it no to rent it out it's like 300 bucks yeah that's nothing so why are we
not doing that well we could I didn't know what this topic was going to be. Fair point, fair point.
Go out to the parking lot.
But anyway, you get that slide for $5,000.
What is it?
Fucking $2 a slide from the kids?
You'd fucking be making bank, I'm telling you.
How much did it cost, the Titanic, to build?
That was five grand.
How much did the Titanic take?
In today's money or them days?
I don't know. I don't write the questions.
It's the olden days. You want it in pounds
or do you want it in dollars? Pounds.
It was built in Northern Ireland, which
accepts the pound, unlike the euro from regular Ireland.
This is a trick Jim does when he doesn't know the answer.
He just says things that he knows
the answer to and he's like, I sound smart.
Pounds of American money. I don't know's like I sound smart no but pounds of American money
I don't know
American money
oh I don't deal
in American money
I see
not when I'm dealing
he's only lived here
20 years
not when I'm dealing
not when I'm dealing
with the mother country
do it in pounds
okay so
okay no
I'll do it in dollars
it would be
in today's money
or them days money
it is
the cost the cost at the time.
So whatever year you said it was.
It's only 23 minutes in.
It's good.
I'm not worried about it.
Okay.
It's what I always do.
I know.
I know.
All right.
So I'm going to say five million of their dollars.
All right.
What was...
And four farthings.
Farthings? Yeah. Did you guys have have farthings were they one of your ones that's a british one what was your old coins what were they called
they were always dollars and cents pennies i don't know we all still have fucking pennies
what what was the nationality of the majority of the Titanic's crew members
oh okay no no so if they came from England is this like the guys shoveling
because is this the people shoveling the coal crew members the crew members waiters
like is it the word that's everybody what's the people in the engine room to
the servers to everybody yeah I'm going to say that a lot of...
I'll say I'm racist if I say this.
What the fuck are you going to say?
I think a lot of...
Oh, shit.
No, no, because...
Nationality.
You just have to say the country.
Just say the country.
The country they're from.
It's not racist.
I'm going to say Spanish.
Okay.
What the fuck were you going to say?
The boat left from England, man,
so it should have been English people
But I feel like Spanish people
Would want to get involved in that
That would be a job
So that's where it becomes racist
Alright, next question
You're fine
I didn't do anything wrong
There's no Spaniards in the room
We'll edit that out, don't worry
Where is the wreck of the Titanic located? There's no Spaniards in the room. There's no Spaniards here. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. We'll check. We'll edit that out. Don't worry.
Where is the wreck of the Titanic located?
Just about 200 miles from Newfoundland, man.
It is. It's up near the northeast of America, up a bit higher there, up into where Canada is.
You go a bit further, you could get yourself some lovely lobster.
Some of the best lobster you'd ever eat would be from that area.
And now you can look at dead billionaires.
Wasn't that amazing when those men died and zero people gave a fuck?
Like, you have some Thai kids in a cave we're praying all day right like
remember those kids and we sent the submarine thing in and we got them all out and they were
in a soccer team they were all trapped but when we knew there was four billionaires at the bottom
of the ocean and there was still a chance that they could still be alive. We all went, fuck them.
We did.
There was no one even sympathetic on the news.
It was like, why the fuck were they down there?
That's what fucking happens when you go to the bottom of the sea, dickhead.
And then we started showing the fucking, that like knockoff playstation remote you spent 400 000 pounds you cunt and it was a fucking knockoff remote
anyway i'm very sympathetic to the billionaires. Hey, you enjoying the live podcast?
I know I did.
I'm not recording it right now.
This is later on because it's not the same room, is it?
Look, hey, you have a business.
You want to grow it.
You've got to spend money to make money.
But you don't want to spend too much money.
You want to spend the right amount of money.
You don't want to be ripped off.
You want your jobs to be efficient.
You want to be able to move your stuff around the country with very little hassle.
You don't want to spend a lot of time on these things.

Who
was the most famous person
to die in the sinking of the Titanic?
That would be Leonardo DiCaprio
my friend. I figured you were going to say that
Maybe
Maybe not at the time
but he didn't know what it was ahead
He was the well making of the young man
I'll say the unsinkable...
No, she didn't sink.
The unsinkable volley ring wall.
Close enough.
Yeah, yeah.
I will say...
Oh, the most famous person dying there,
so it would have been someone from the black and white.
I'm going to say it's Buster Douglas' cousin, Paul.
Who's Buster Douglas?
Buster Douglas is a...
Isn't he the boxer?
Or Buster Keaton?
Buster Keaton.
Yeah, okay.
The boxer would have been aware.
Yeah, it would have been...
It was a lot later.
Beat Mike Tyson.
Why were the lifeboats not filled to capacity?
Because they're rich cunts.
Right?
They were like...
You see the movie.
They do this. Oh, it's this plenty. Because they're cunts. They were like, we see the movie, they do this.
Oh, there's plenty.
Because the poor people were coming on like fucking zombies, weren't they?
So the people in first class were like, oh, I want a bit of space.
I don't want to fucking rub next to cunts.
And they're like, we hear you.
We hear you.
We've met some of them yourself.
We didn't even meet people like this back in Spain.
I'm trying to play the staff member.
I've got to tell my story the whole way through.
What's notable about the SS Californian's role?
SS Californian? role? Uh, SS Californian?
Oh, he paid more taxes.
Paid unnecessary taxes. If it was a fucking boat Nevada,
it wouldn't have had to pay any of them.
Cool.
Final answer?
It would have picked up the dead
with, like, a pool scoop.
The net?
Yeah, yeah, big one.
There's a question.
A comical sized butterfly net.
You scoop them up.
We do have a question.
How did they recover the bodies?
Look at this bitch.
Two could fit on that door.
Fuck it.
There you go.
Next question. How did they recover the bodies of the victims? How many were recovered? So it's a lot of skips. There you go. Go to the next question.
All right.
How did they recover the bodies of the victims?
How many were recovered?
So it's a pool scoop.
Well, if they had the life jackets on, they can recover them.
I'm sure there's still people inside the boat.
They believe that the only old couple that went in the water starts,
they just start hugging each other.
I think there's dead people though, right?
There's dead people in there.
Yeah, how did they recover?
Isn't this how they recovered dead?
How did they recover the bodies of the victims?
I'm telling you a sweet story.
Oh, sorry.
So they've just found,
there was a story about the old couple
that laid in the bed at the end
that were just like,
fuck it, we had a good life,
let's just fucking die.
I don't want to go up to that.
It'd be too busy.
There'd be too many people.
Fuck, I hate people.
And so there was a real old couple
that just laid in their room.
And so they're down there.
They never recovered them.
Wow.
That is a sweet story.
That was sweet.
Okay, so the people they did recover, how did they recover their bodies?
So they had to be in life jackets.
Otherwise, they didn't.
Maybe, I don't think they had, well, you don't have to at sea, do you?
You don't have to recover bodies.
But if you wanted to, yeah, pull scoop.
Okay.
Or like a boat with a shovel on the front of it.
Like construction equipment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a snowplow boat.
Like something B.A. Baracus would make in the A-Team
if he was locked up in a room with steel
and a bit of welding equipment.
All right.
What was the ticket price for a first-class passenger on the Titanic?
Your life.
Fair.
And I would say 87 pounds.
That would be about eight grand something, yeah.
We've got a few questions left.
There we go.
Where are most of the Titanic artifacts currently housed
and who owns them?
There's a museum in Belfast called the Titanic Museum.
I haven't been in there, but yeah, I i know it's there they advertise it a lot and i think
there's also a few pieces in vegas there always seems to be a titanic thing going on there we
have that one right on this one yeah so that might be a cirque de soleil show cirque de soleil titanic
it's like the o show it's got Show. It's got a bit of water. Got a bit of water.
Doesn't it?
That'd be pretty good.
Yeah.
People jumping,
swinging off,
rolling down.
Fuck, it'd be a good show.
Put in the propeller.
Mushrooms?
Yeah, get Celine Dion
singing again.
Fuck, you know.
Love it.
Let's get that.
What year did the first ever Titanic movie come out?
The first one.
I'm assuming there's more than one.
I don't know.
Okay, that would have been 1956.
It would be a black and white old movie.
Oh, no.
And people running sideways like this.
What was it called?
Yeah.
It wasn't called Titanic?
I don't know.
We're not experts.
Sinky the boat.
Sounds like a cartoon.
All right, last question.
And it was a porno.
Is there...
Okay, Google this for me, Jack.
Is there... You don't have to put the porn up there
But find out if there's a porn parody
Of Titanic
He's projected
I will look that up
There has to be
I mean there's porn up
I don't know if Flappers
You just tell me
Yes 100%
I think they're all adults
There's a lot of them
You can't even look at those images me yes a hundred percent they're all adults they've seen there's a lot of them yeah oh there
is seems like there is oh you can't even look at those images yeah no i mean it titanic tit tango
too all right okay all right you know what's going on there it's there it's a lot of tangos
could you imagine how many puns there would be in a tit porno though? There's so much Scooby Doo though.
We're going down, you bet I am.
There was Titanic Tony.
Was that a porn?
Guys, you've got sidetracked here.
Last question. What maritime laws were changed as a direct result of the sinking of the Titanic?
You couldn't go as close to icebergs as you used to be able to.
I reckon, no, I'm serious, right?
Because maybe they had like, maybe they had on their maps and shit, right?
They were like, oh, there's lots of icebergs here,
but as long as you're here, you're all right.
You never hit it over there.
Now they're like, don't go up there.
Don't go in that fucking bit.
Buddy, boat hit an iceberg up there.
It's like when you have a car accident
and they put up a new stop sign.
You know what I mean?
That's the law that changed.
Don't go in that bit.
Ocean stop signs.
Oh, but there's so many good lobsters, man.
No, you'll fucking die in that bit.
You can go there in the summer.
Never in the fucking winter.
All right, Don.
Zero through ten, how did Jim do on his knowledge of the Titanic?
Ten's the best.
A lot of notes there.
I wrote so many notes.
Because I like to give you points for the spirit of the truth.
Yeah, man.
Which is why I am not employed by institutions that refuse to do your podcast.
A 10 is the best.
Thank you.
I'm going to have to give you...
I'm going to go with a...
7.5.
7.5.
Which I'm sure is the best score I've ever given you.
I'm sure that's the best score.
Just quickly, because I always wonder if people do this at home in their heads.
So who here was answering the questions along in their heads?
All right.
Who here, in all honesty, thinks they did way better than me?
All right.
All right.
We've got some people.
Yeah.
There's two girls there,
another lady over there.
About the movie
or the history?
Yeah, another bloke over here.
Oh, what's the difference?
So we have at least
10 or 12 people
that think they would have slayed
much better than me.
All right.
If you can keep
an honest account
as we go through
to the actual answers
at the end,
you say we'll see how you did.
Yeah, you get a pack of Tums.
That we
found on the table. But no, Forrest.
You need those, Forrest.
I think they're mine. I definitely need them.
You can't be giving those away.
Everybody's touched the lettuce.
That's a travel pack. I got more than that.
Alright, so seven and a half. How do you do on confidence kelly um you know he thought we had done titanic
before so he did lose a couple of points on that i'm going to give him a seven why that makes me
even more confident that i already know all this no no i think i think i think that adds to it
okay well i give the scores you don't that's 14 and a half. Well, I give the scores.
You don't. That's 14 and a half for Etcetera.
I'll give you like 20.
A lot of laughter there.
That was good.
So, yeah.
Titanic.
You did a good job.
Very good.
Very good.
All right.
Very good.
Very good.
On her maiden voyage.
This is our maiden voyage.
That's very cool.
How cute.
Give me another half point for that.
You got a lot of points already.
I gave you 20.
When did the Titanic take off on our maiden voyage
and from where? Jim said Southampton, 1924.
I was devastated because you had it
absolutely correct the first time.
It was 1912.
It was April 10.
I thought, oh my god, We're off to a fantastic start.
Oh, no.
I did the age wrong.
That lady was older than I thought.
1912.
And Rose Decatur, if you are tracking your history through the film,
which I think is a perfectly appropriate thing.
Also why I'm not a very serious historian, however much I may read,
is because I think you can learn a lot from the movies and it's okay.
And this movie does have a lot of accurate history in it.
So James Cameron did his...
Rose and Jack, of course, are made up.
That, of course, is made up, the necklace.
Rose was very unnecessary.
But she was also 17 in the movie.
Well, that makes the nudie-roodie scene a bit worse, doesn't it?
But he was also...
Have I committed a crime?
I love how you're just thinking about it now
when ten minutes ago she was 14.
You're like, oh fuck, she's 17?
I was being funny before.
The problem with Rose is
she was only asked one question.
She was just asked one question.
Where's the diamond?
And then she went,
some call it the ship of slaves. Others call it the ship of kings. Bringing me, yeah, yeah,
we just, just where's that diamond? When I saw Jack, and they're all like this, fuck
me, old people can talk.
And they're like, just let her, she'll get to it eventually.
No one, she's old.
Grandkids don't call her anymore.
She fucking, she likes to have a fucking chat.
Didn't she have like seven trunks too or something?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A fucking ton of suitcase.
And then they're like this, eventually they were just like this,
listen lady, we're renting this equipment by the hour.
And then they're like this.
Eventually they were just like this.
Listen, lady, we're renting this equipment by the hour.
We just want to know where the fucking diamond is.
And then the cunt throws it overboard.
I'm telling you, Rose is the worst person.
That ever lived.
Ever.
So 1912 and it was... It goes, Rose, Hitler.
Eddie Armin.
Was it Southampton?
It was Southampton, exactly.
But to be fair, it leaves Southampton on April 10th, 1912.
It stops in France France and it stops in
Ireland and does its official
trek across the Atlantic.
Begins from Queensland,
Ireland on April
11th. And where did Rose get on? Was she
at Southampton? She had to do all these little drop-offs
as well? I believe
the film presumes she's picked
up in Queensland, Ireland. I think that
she goes from the gate.
Because she could have had a lot more
flirting time there.
She didn't do it, did she?
Anyway, it's in Southampton. I know that.
I'll tell you...
I circled. I plus
one and I circled it.
I'll tell you a fun little story about me.
My parents are both Australian people who met in London when they were over there
for a year in their 20s trying to just travel a bit you know what I mean and
they went over on a boat called the Oriana which took two and a half weeks
to go from Sydney to Southampton and And Southampton, if you haven't been,
is a shithole.
I used to do a lot of comedy
in Southampton when I lived in Britain.
It's a fucking dump. Hello to our fans
in Southampton.
But you know.
Is it you for Southampton, mate?
Yeah, you know, right?
Look, look, look. I'll give it up for Southampton.
You're better than Portsmouth, no doubt.
No doubt.
You're fucking shit on Portsmouth.
Portsmouth sucks dick, but you're not much better.
Anyway.
Well done.
100.
Anyway, so the whole thing is my parents came into the thing,
and after two and a half weeks of being on a boat,
they saw Southampton, and their first words were,
what the fuck have we done?
There you go.
It's a good story.
Was the intended destination of the Titanic's maiden voyage New York?
100% New York City.
Wow, Jim.
Yep.
And they were due, well, I don't know if that's a question later.
How long?
They were supposed to arrive in, do you know how long it would take in 1912 to get from?
That wasn't one of the questions.
I think i said that
they were supposed to arrive do you what date were they if they left april 10th when were they due to
arrive in new york april 18th 17th oh 17th one day oh you're so you're very intuitive you're a
dummy but you're very intuitive to to my real fans out there, you're welcome.
The 17th gave them a day
to prepare.
April 18th.
They were fucked either way,
those people.
The Titanic slogan.
Was it, we have enough lifeboats?
Or the unsinkable ship?
No, and this is where you lost
a couple points. It was the ship of dreams.
Some called it the ship of dreams.
It was also the queen of the ocean.
But in fact, you lost a point there
because they never actually advertised
that the Titanic was an unsinkable ship.
That would not have been a feature you would mention.
It would be like, our restaurant never burns down.
This is an unburned item.
You just wouldn't, like, ships weren't sinking that much anymore.
It would have been very strange.
It was just that it was the biggest and best thing ever made.
So it was, like, implied.
But by today's standards, it's a little shit, though, isn't it?
Like, if you'd been on one of those cruise ships now,
they have water slides, don't they?
Fucking water slides. A whole
water park and a go-kart
fucking track and mini-golf.
This thing had fucking four smoke
fucking holes.
It was fucking shit, Titanic.
It was tall. It was the...
If you had stuck the Titanic in the dirt
by her stern and measured her,
she was the tallest thing on earth at the time.
She was taller than the Washington Monument,
taller than St. Peter's, taller than the pyramids.
That's what they said about me.
That's what they said about Kelly, too, and they were right.
She's beautiful.
What ship?
Ship of dreams.
What ship?
And I do go down.
Prove it! Prove it! Prove it!
I'm just kidding. I don't do that anymore.
She'd have a better job than this if she did.
I'd get paid a whole lot more, that's for sure.
The ship Prefix was given to the Titanic.
Was it they him?
No, and they're all she, Jim.
Come on, even if that was right.
It was the Royal Mail Ship, RMS Titanic.
Or the SS was also, the steamship Titanic was also acceptable.
The what?
Which one, the SS?
Our RMS, the Royal Mail Ship.
She was a mail ship.
She had a ton of cargo that was mail.
She was mail?
She was a post office ship.
Like postage?
A mail royal mail.
Ah, so she was a post female.
Oh, God.
She was.
Oh, no, no, no.
So hang on.
So she was a male post female ship.
She was post.
Yes.
Yeah.
Spain.
Correct.
It might be too soon to talk about the Titanic after all.
What was the length of the Titanic?
You said three hours.
And then one and a half football stadiums.
I don't know.
I can't do the math.
She was almost 900 feet long.
I don't know how that compares.
That's like a football field.
Yeah, it's 100 yards.
You said one and a half.
Isn't it three per yard?
Yeah, I'm like an idiot. Three football fields? Three. Three football field. Yeah, it's 100 yards. You said one and a half. Isn't it three per yard? Yeah, I'm a fucking idiot.
How many football fields?
Three football fields.
Fuck, you've got a good angle, don't you?
You picked a fucking banger of a seat,
didn't you, Sonny?
I hope
I haven't had my ass hanging out.
Just out of
respect for you, man.
You should be seeing me faces
I'm a salaried
ah well
who designed the Titanic
was it George Titanic
no it was Mr. Andrews
was the architect
and he went down with the ship as well.
That is accurately featured in the book.
Okay, because she had a sister ship,
the Olympic or something, right?
Correct.
And they were almost identical.
Their exteriors were almost exactly the same,
but the Titanic was more luxurious inside.
Joseph Ismay, in particular,
had made some personal and specific adjustment,
make the windows more beautiful and the chandeliers brighter.
Except for all the water, though.
That was a problem.
The water ruined it all.
But yeah, the Olympic was her sister.
Okay, so Olympic, we know that Olympic means big,
because the Olympics and Olympus and Olympic means big.
Sure.
Because the word Titanic means big now, but did it always,
you get what I'm saying?
Did it always mean,
when you go,
this was Titanic,
right?
Did that word
always mean massive?
It implied size,
but a Titan
was a character
from mythology.
Oh, it's from Titans.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
So it'd be a beast.
And what's a tick?
An imposing, yeah.
I don't think Olympic
means big either,
but.
Olympus. Exactly. You can keep doing this all you want. It's not think Olympic means big either. Olympus!
You can keep doing this all you want.
It's not going to make it big.
The mountain of the gods.
Massive, epic.
Greek mythology.
It means big, right?
It means godly, which to most men
means big.
Yes.
Nice.
How many days...
You're going to offend me. I'm not a ship.
How many days
was the Titanic sailing before it hit the iceberg?
And you said the third night.
That was actually...
I was very delighted by that because it's probably
the most accurate.
The night of the third day.
So depending on how you look at it,
she went down on the fourth day of her maiden voyage.
But that depends on if you're in Encyclopedia Titanica,
which is a forum that exists.
If you start counting from the day she launched in South Haven,
if you start from the day that she launched.
What would the **** say?
They would say we refuse to answer
this stupid fucking question.
We don't even want our answers on your podcast.
Google it, you dumb twats.
But it was,
it's the fourth.
Is that a full-time job, being a member of the
****?
Appeared to be so.
With the vitriol in their email.
Him and a ship that lived four days.
You get to spend a lifetime being a cunt about it.
No, but do you reckon they get paid well for that?
I don't know.
Where do they give their talks?
Do they go to schools?
That was the wildest part.
I'm like, why bother being an expert if you don't do podcasts about it?
If you don't do this, why?
I don't know.
If they show up on Rogan, I'll be very disappointed.
These kinds of jobs
are usually held by
the billionaires, which are part
of an answer that comes later. Yeah, maybe he's at the bottom of the
ocean now. I don't know.
These are often jobs
made up by hangers-on
of either very, very smart people or very,
very rich people that go, well, I could
open a museum with all your money and
sit there all day and tell people to go fuck themselves.
And then when I go to brunch with Barbara,
I can tell her I'm very important and have a very
important job. This is what rich fucking people do.
I feel like there's an
exact person that you're talking about.
There's only you left. Anyway, yeah,
go fuck yourself, Jenny. There was a specific hurt in your life anyway yeah go fuck yourself Jenny
there was a specific hurt
in your voice
maybe maybe
how long did it take
for the Titanic to sink
after hitting the iceberg
was it two hours
it was two and a half hours
hang on
is that on the
on the
it was shorter than the movie
so it was two and a half hours
I said two hours
it wasn't too bad
not too bad
not too bad
but that okay when do you count it from the second you hit the iceberg So it was two and a half hours. I said two hours. It wasn't too bad. Not too bad. Not too bad.
But that, okay, when do you count it from the second you hit the iceberg?
She hit the iceberg. To the second you see the bit, like, go down the bottom?
Right.
So she struck the iceberg at 11.40 p.m. on April 14th, 1912.
And she was completely submerged, as if erased.
The biggest thing humans had ever made, just like, by 2.20 a.m.
And within that, the folks who were in the water, dying,
could be heard for between 15 minutes and 30 minutes.
And then it was about another hour and a half
that the survivors had to just sit there in the dark.
Right, but on the boat, right? and it was about another hour and a half that the survivors had to just sit there in the dark.
Right.
But on the boat, right?
So, yeah, from the time it struck.
But you didn't feel, they didn't feel,
a lot of people slept through the impact.
The firemen you mentioned who were working down in the lower,
they were the first to die,
the ones shoveling coal right down at the bottom. And then the folks who were in the bow,
because she went down the bow first.
But folks
realized this shit's, the general
population realized that this shit's going to sink
with about 45 minutes left
to go.
We had these, there were true-false,
we took them out, and Jim mentioned them. There was the
band. The band,
of course the band was there.
That's the heart of the film.
Can't back that up.
The band's the fucking heart.
At the end they say,
well it was nice playing with you
and they shake each other's hands
and they go off to get on the lifeboat
and they went,
you know what,
fuck it.
Let's keep playing.
And they played until they slid.
Fuck.
I salute you band.
What was the name of the band?
The Spaniards Is the band real?
I'm so glad we got it back
Not only was the band real
But they played
Until the literal water
Was washing up at their feet
And here's how we know
And the music if you're a big fan of the movie,
you remember the scene where the old couple is in the bed and get flooded.
That big sweeping score is nearer my God to thee,
which is, by all accounts, the last song they played.
So it's very appropriate that it was that scene in the movie
because this is for them.
And the reason we know is because there were so many survivors
that would say,
I fucking saw the band play.
I slipped down the water,
and the fucking by with the violin.
And then the folks who were in the lifeboats,
who were several yards away,
already afraid of being pulled down by the undertow,
were like, is the band playing?
There's no other explanation.
There wasn't recordings.
You know what I mean?
And they were like, yeah, they're playing.
And they knew they were playing Nearer My God to Thee.
They could even name the song.
It's stunning.
And they found the bodies of...
They all died.
The musicians all died.
Spoiler alert.
But they do find one of them clinging to his instrument.
That's how he's found.
Yeah, but that's what would have helped him float.
He wasn't...
You were fucking all of sentimental cuts.
He held on to music till the end.
If I had a fucking cello, I'd be taking that with me as well.
Like, get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
Tuba. Tuba wouldn't have been good, though.
I don't know about that one.
That is sinker.
Upon hearing of the incident,
the American press incorrectly reported what?
You said the Titanic had sunk.
That's correct.
Yeah, because it was too early.
It hadn't sunk yet.
I don't think you got a point for that.
Here we go.
On the lifeboats, right?
On the lifeboats.
Switch it up.
On the lifeboats.
How long did you say it took?
Two and a half hours.
Two and a half hours. Two and a half hours.
All right.
So when they saw a boat, what, 40 minutes away?
They could see something 40 minutes away coming towards them maybe?
It would have been an hour and a half where they didn't know anyone.
Oh, how long?
After the boat had sunk and they were sitting there?
Did they always know they were getting saved?
No, no.
Okay, so they were panicking.
So how long do you reckon it would be before you'd be allowed to go,
can I have a piss off the side of the boat?
Because someone has to do it first because you think we're going to be here a long time.
Or even worse as shit.
Someone has to do it first because you don't know another boat's coming.
How long do you reckon
that'll be?
I reckon
an hour and a half.
There would have been
one bloke who did it.
I think you'd pee yourself.
We're going to be here
for ten hours.
Just pee in your pants
and stay warm.
It's so cold.
No, you sit next to
the unsinkable Molly Sugden.
Who?
Who is this person?
The Violet Jessup question.
Molly Sugden
was on a TV show called Are You Being Served in Britain.
It's a deep cut, all right?
Yeah, you've said a lot of it.
So, wait, what did they report in the press?
Anyway, so how long do you get shit over the edge?
Yeah, we'll get back to that one.
To the first question, uh newspapers in the morning so really the
many of the survivors are in the lifeboats floating out there the press was printing
that the titanic had hit an iceberg but was fine and everyone was going to be arrive on time in
new york right or would i come to halifax that the titanic had struck an iceberg but it was cool
everyone was fine you bet it was cool that Everyone was fine. You bet it was cool.
That's another thing about the movie, right?
When you're outside of the boat,
the water seems to be four times colder than the water inside the boat.
Jack was fucking wearing a bloody linen shirt
and a pair of slacks,
and he was handcuffed to a pipe
with the water up to his waist now later
on in the movie when he's in the water he's got icebergs fucking coming off him
all right this time he's just like this a bit brisk isn't it
and it came out through the engine and then he's running through it like this
like this the other one he can't fucking move, icebergs and shit.
So why was the water... It wasn't the engine.
It came down from the bottom.
No, no, no.
It came through a fucking hole like everything else in this world.
I'll never be able to use that line again.
That saddens me that I just said that
I wish I could be cooler and just accept that I did it
and leave it alone but now I've fucking talked about it
made it a moment now
it's recorded
who was the captain of the Titanic
bloke with a beard he was good
went down with it
he went down with that shit like
Dido in that song
that's right.
Captain Smith, which I think if you say the guy with the beard,
it's essentially Mr. Smith.
You're going to get the same thing.
Mr. Smith?
Excellent in Lord of the Rings also.
Is he an actor in Lord of the Rings?
Same actor.
He's the king.
Somebody knows better than I do.
Wait, who is he?
The captain from Titanic is the dad who's all crusty
and then comes out
of his crustiness.
The horse people.
Yeah.
Who guards...
I'm surprised
there's not more nerds.
He's Bernard Hill.
Someone just said
he's Bernard Hill.
He was right.
Same guy.
Captain Smith.
All right.
There you go.
How are you guys doing?
The people that thought
they did better than Jim,
you doing good?
Like, you getting them all right?
All right.
Good confidence.
Okay. He's seven so far.
How are you going over here? You got
eight?
That's pretty good.
I think I got seven.
I wish my scoring was that simple
that I added. I just sort of went,
ooh, out of ten.
Then you've got to judge it.
Then you've got to judge it.
I'm sorry, how many people were on board the Titanic?
There were 2,200
souls aboard.
Total.
That includes crew, that includes passengers.
What did I say?
You said 2,500.
You said 2,500.
There was a few illegals in the basement.
They didn't count because they
weren't fucking paying them properly.
You did say you were doing it under the fucking books.
And I'm telling you, that's what happened.
There's more people there.
You said something.
You kept saying there were 23.
No, you said there were 3000 people aboard and that 2200 died.
3500, 2000 died.
2000 died.
How many died?
1500 died. It's not that fucking many000 died. 2,000 died. How many died? 1,500 died.
It's not that fucking many. What were you all concerned about?
Wait, so there was
2,000 total?
About 2,200.
So 1,500 died, 700 lived.
Right. Give or take.
How many people came out of the lifeboats
technically onto the Carpathia
was 705.
But then some of them died before they got back to New York.
How many of the 700 who survived were women and children?
A vast majority.
A vast majority.
How many men survived?
It's the percentages.
I don't remember exactly.
But it's maybe 20% of the survivors.
And they would have been right cunts.
Right?
Well, no.
You know what?
Actually, we haven't gotten...
They would have gotten off the boat like this.
Oh, ladies!
Fucking hell, that was fucking shit, wasn't it?
Fuck!
Yeah.
Well, you remember the guy...
Some of you are single now, I guess.
Pew!
Well, you remember the guy from the movie
with the twirly mustache who hops in?
He's the Joseph Ismay.
He's the guy who says,
this ship cannot sink.
And then he hops into a lifeboat
and the guy got to evilize him
as he waves him down.
That 100% happened.
I don't know if you looked at him like that.
But Joseph Ismay was one of the higher ups at the white star line certainly the most high level
executive to be on the ship he called a lot of these guys he survived he got shamed to shit
who was he sorry who is this esra go what was he he was joseph ismay was like an executive from the
white star line the company that owned the Olympic and owned the Titanic
and owned all these ships and he was very
impressed. He was sort of pressing everyone to be
even more impressed with the Titanic than they were
and then when it all fell apart
he snuck out.
Do you reckon that he took
a little fucking jar of
moustache wax with him? I don't know.
But he was sued. Like if he knew
he had to really go,
he'd be like,
fuck, we won't be out there for a while.
He did.
When he got into the Carpathia,
he asked for a private suite and tea because he was just so distraught.
He was having such a terrible time.
And when he got to New York,
he had to go to court.
And he was like,
I got on the boat
because somebody had to explain
to the White Star Line.
Somebody from the white star line had to live
to
tell you guys how
it wasn't our fault.
Oh wow, so you could be
in trouble for being a man on the boat
because you didn't let women and children on first.
Exactly, and there were a few, and the problem was
I don't know if we got into this, but the
lifeboats weren't full
and you said they were rich cunts, which is fair. Some of got into this, but the lifeboats weren't full.
And you said they were rich cunts, which is fair.
Some of that was true.
And they show Rose in the movie.
Rose's mom is like, is there class?
Women are always very angry about not being able to vote for a long time.
You got on the fucking boat first.
Come on.
Let's call it fucking even.
Boating or voting?
Come on.
Oh, it was nice, though.
That was fair. No, we had a few perks. That's fair.
There were a few perks.
Died in most of the wars.
Come on. I'm going to take a lot of elbows in the next apocalypse.
I accept that.
Guys, we're all right. Not the fucking
moustache twiller. He's a right cunt, but the
rest of us.
The problem was, it was at first. But you know what the problem was?
It was at first,
they didn't think the ship was going to sink.
Of course, you know,
they weren't telling everyone
the ship was going to sink.
And this getting into these lifeboats
was a huge pain in the ass
because you got to get down the side of the boat
and sit in the cold
and then it's a false alarm
and then they bring you back up
and they're like,
I'd rather sit with the caviar.
Well, here's the floor in the lifeboats.
So even if they had enough lightboats for everybody, right?
In the movie, I'm sure this is how it happened in real life, you had to have men on ropes.
Correct.
Right?
Going like this, lowering it down.
So even if you had enough lightboats for everybody, there always had to be four cunts at the end.
You're kind of a genius, Jim. Can I tell you what?
Because James Cameron,
20 years after the movie, all these questions.
The door. Could Rose
and Jack have both fit on the door?
How long would it have taken? All these questions
he was asked. He got his fucking set
back together and
recreated as much as he could.
Because none of this was all fiction but people kept saying it
still couldn't have gone this way.
And one of the questions that they answered was
if they had had more lifeboats
could more people have survived? And the answer was
no. They didn't have any more time
to lower any more lifeboats. This thing
is already at an angle. You need
people to be operating it. It needs
to have some sort of ability.
So they had 10 more lifeboats.
Those lifeboats were, for example.
How many were there?
That's the next question.
How many were there?
Jim said 28, and then...
There were 20.
And how many were launched?
Well, 18 were launched.
Two of those 20 were what they called collapsible boats.
And in defense, the Titanic had more lifeboats
than were legally required.
That wouldn't make you feel good when you purchased it.
The Titanic was also collapsible, to be fair.
If you ever had a car dealership and they said,
this car's a collapsible car, this one.
Is it? Is it?
I'll have ten of them.
The idea with lifeboats when you're in the middle of the Atlantic
is that anything that sinks a ship fast,
lifeboats are useless.
So if it's a hurricane or a whale or a bomb,
you are not like, quick, everybody,
get in the little boats that float next to the big boat
where we'll be so much safer, right?
So the only way the lifeboats were really used
was if you hit something, you were sinking slowly,
you impacted another ship,
and so you could get people 700 at
a time a thousand at a time to ferry off because everyone always says that whole thing and there
wasn't enough light bulb but so that didn't matter so the people who designed it they should have had
even less really do you know what right there were there were in a in a if anything they were too
generous with their life and seven or eight years, there was this huge panel of assholes
from this museum who actually showed up,
and everybody, and they're talking about
how and if more people could have survived this Titanic,
what were the scenarios that would have worked out,
and some guy, just some amateur guy was like,
what if they ferried the people in the lifeboats to the iceberg?
Ooh.
That's exactly what everyone
in that room said.
The boat went
for a while past the iceberg.
It was a field of icebergs.
You'd want
to go see the original one.
There's no...
It'd be worth a try, man.
You wouldn't want to go to the one.
It's like those people who go to fucking Joshua
where they try to get the actual picture of the U2 cover.
You're not.
That's a different tree, man.
I think it's actually Death Valley.
All right, who is Violet Jessop?
This is where you started saying Molly fucking whatever a lot.
The unsinkable Molly.
There it is again.
All right, Violet Jessup.
Who's Violet Jessup?
Violet Jessup is this,
there's so many amazing characters throughout.
Molly Brown is one of them.
Jessup, Violet Jessup was this.
Molly Brown.
She was feisty.
Played by Bates, wasn't it?
Kathy Bates, yeah.
She plays a good homely woman in a movie.
Whenever I see her
come on screen, I'm like, oh, there's going to be a homely
person who might be friendly or
scary. Who knows?
Hard to say.
Oh, the surprise
will be mine.
Actually,
Violet Jessup has a cameo in the movie.
There's a moment when Mr. Andrews is like
Right Violet make sure your life jacket's on tight
Because she was a stewardess
And she was too hot for the job
To be an air stewardess
You know they looked
Kind of like nurses and sort of
Like nannies and they were just sort of a yes ma'am
Yeah but back in the day that was the hot
Job man
A ship stewardess
What's the difference between a ship stewardess. A ship stewardess.
What's the difference between a ship stewardess and an air stewardess?
One's in the water.
More threat of drowning.
Yeah, but air stewardesses were good looking in the 60s and stuff.
That was like a thing.
Sure.
She was too hot for the ships.
I used to do a joke about that.
Remember when air stewardesses were really hot, like in the 60s and 70s?
Well, none of those women have retired have you been on a plane lately fuck me
so viola jessup you have to prop them up that's thank you you sit down have my chair
she was kind of like that.
Kind of like that.
Her skirt was a lot longer.
Anyway, so she was like a hot air stewardess, yeah.
Yeah, and she had been on the Olympic when it had had a collision,
like a couple of months before this.
And people were like, you can't be on this boat.
You're too distracting.
You make people crash.
You're too good looking.
I don't know.
They said she had to cover her good looks.
I don't know. I don't know. Cut too good yeah she had to i don't know they said she had to cover her good looks i don't know where mu i don't know cutter bangs bad bangs i
don't know but they they were like yes you can be a a stewardess on the titanic and then she survives
the titanic somebody hands her a baby yeah in the middle of the thing she holds on to a baby on this
boat and then when they get to the carpathia someone's like, my baby! And like runs off.
She finds and then she gets this anonymous letter
when she's working on another
ship years later that also
gets struck in World War I
and fucking sinks. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Was that baby the real parents that actually went, my baby?
I believe so because
she gets this letter that says, you remember the baby?
I was the baby. And somebody said, oh this
was a prank. And she's like, no, I never told anybody about the baby
story. So she met up with the baby.
Apparently it was a prank. Wait, so she's on another ship that
sinks? She was on three.
The first one almost sank. The second
one was the Titanic. And the third one was
the Olympic during the war.
Oh, so she's the problem.
She's the problem. She survived them all,
yeah? She survived them all.
She died in her 80s. That's the privilege of She survived them all, yeah? She survived them all. She died in her 80s.
That's the privilege of the hot chick right there.
Always spared.
There's no guy or frumpy woman who survives three sinking boats.
Your luck would run out sooner or later.
Am I a terrible person?
Is that a terrible thing to say?
No, you're very accurate.
I think it's historically accurate.
I'm looking through the indexes of history here,
and I see no lies.
Just facts.
Yeah, facts.
How many people survived?
We already said 700, right?
Yeah, 700.
705 technically.
700.
Are any of them still alive?
No.
Raise your hand.
No, but if you go to Encyclopedia Titanica,
somebody had their wits about them enough.
Does that still exist?
It really exists.
It's a great website.
And they have videos of a bunch of survivors
before they die.
You know what I mean?
Like in the 70s and 80s,
somebody with a video camera was like,
wait, all the Titanic survivors
are going to be dead in a few years and they have
just a plethora of video of them.
Did they get a good documentary? Why didn't
someone make a good documentary when we could?
Well, that would be 1912.
It was tough.
Like in 1950, we could have made a good...
There was the book version of a documentary, actually,
which was where the films...
I don't know if we can get to the film schedule. The book version of a documentary, actually, which was where the films, I don't know if we can get to the film schedule.
The book version of a documentary.
But the book version of a documentary,
meaning it was eyewitness accounts and interviews
and taken specifically from everyone who was there
and sort of laid out like a documentary.
Okay, so the Carpathia is the ship that first responds,
and then how long did it take after the distress signals to get there?
Yeah, the Carpathia comes three and a half hours in.
So they're alerted that the Titanic is sinking shortly after midnight,
and they confirm it's true,
because just like everyone else, they're like, right.
And then they haul ass and go as fast as they can,
and arrive around 3.30 in the morning.
Why didn't they hit an iceberg
right because they were doing slightly better conspiracy theories no they went slow as shit
when they when they all asked in the iceberg field and then they had because they also didn't
want to hit survivors with their two blokes in a basket going like this i can spill ice yeah
yeah it's fucking easy man you. I can smell the coal, but I can't smell ice.
With those legs.
Yeah, you remember that from the film?
His stereotypical character.
Yeah, I know that really well.
Wasn't that it?
Did I dream that?
That was in the movie, right?
That was in the movie.
That's right.
Fucking ice.
Where is it?
Confirmed.
And it's true that they alert.
They ring down to the helm.
And he goes hard to starboard, and that's why it sank.
If they had hit the iceberg...
I smell dries.
Yeah, if they had hit it straight on, they would have survived.
What was the approximate cost of building the Titanic?
Five million of their dollars.
Their dollars.
Yeah.
That's another reason you got a good point.
It was like two and a half million at the time.
Right, which in today's money?
It's like seven and a half million.
Yeah, something like that.
$7.5 million?
No, get the fuck out of here.
I looked up...
I've watched Below Deck. There's fucking
boats worth about.
I looked it up and I was shocked
because I was like, that...
I'm not going to...
Oh, $7.5 million in 1912.
Okay, in today's dollars it would cost roughly $400 million.
Because the original thing I looked at,
it said $7.5 million in today's money,
and I was like, no wonder it fucking sank.
That's really fucking cheap.
I'm glad I pulled you up on that.
That was an historical inaccuracy.
We would have gotten in trouble there.
Fucking hell.
$400 million makes sense.
The movie was one of the
first films to cost over 200
million, Forrest.
Let that show in the records.
Forrest.
What was the nationality
of the majority of the Titanic's
crew members?
I think now because it's the ice people, I'm going to say they're British.
Okay.
They were not just British.
English and not just English.
Predominantly Southampton.
The majority of the crew lived in Southampton.
So the Spaniards didn't want to get involved.
They had nothing to do with it.
That would have been a good job for them.
And the English make such shit food,
it would have been more enjoyable to cruise. They had nothing to do with it. That would have been a good job for them. And the English make such shit food, it would have been more enjoyable to cruise.
They had no spice.
They boiled all their meat back then.
It would have been atrocious.
Moving on.
Where is the wreck of the Titanic located?
Is it 200 miles from Newfoundland?
Yeah, it's exactly right, right in the North Atlantic.
You want to know how I learned that?
Because some billionaires
died recently.
I never knew where it was
and then I was watching the news
and I was like, their death isn't in vain
because I learned something.
Who was the most famous person
to die in the sinking of the Titanic?
First Jim said Leonardo DiCaprio
then he said the unsinkable Molly Ringwald.
Buster Keaton's
brother Paul.
Buster Douglas.
Molly Brown survived, but
she was with John
Jacob Astor, who was the
most famous guy at the time.
He was one of...
He was the richest
man in America. It'd be like Elon blowing up in one of his rockets.
He was the richest man in America,
and he was one of the richest men in the world.
So what was he rich for?
His family was oil and railroad, like old legendary money.
Ah, Texas tea.
Out of point to that.
Steel.
But he also, John Jacob Astor
also wrote a science fiction novel
about the year 2000
that is like
fascinating
did he predict anything right
yes
and his honeymoon
he was 47
and his honeymoon
was with his 19 year old
pregnant wife
and that's
why Molly Brown
was with him
on their honeymoon
because she was a divorcee
with a foul mouth
who was like
I won't judge you let's go to the pyramids fuck so she was accompanying them on their honeymoon because she was a divorcee with a foul mouth who was like, I won't judge you.
Let's go to the pyramids.
So she was accompanying them on their honeymoon.
They were buddies.
Why were the lifeboats not filled to capacity?
We talked about that.
Well, they also refused. They wouldn't get in.
The first lifeboat
could hold 57.
It had like 23 people in it because they were
begging people to get in the boats.
And they were like, no.
It's going to be cold out there.
And they didn't believe it would sink.
They didn't believe it would sink.
And they were trying to sink the fucking boats.
And that's why some of the men who survived
and got a ton of shit were like,
they told me to get in the boat to be a good example.
I got in the boat and I thought, fuck.
And then I watched it sink.
Oh, that is a good argument.
Yeah.
And they did. There's also..., that is a good argument. Yeah, and they did.
There's also...
That's what I would say.
Yeah, I was leading.
But then they found two of these half-empty boats
and they combined them, which I think is represented in the movie,
and they take that boat back.
One boat goes back to try to find some survivors
and pluck survivors out of the water, and they...
Five.
Three, five. Three, five.
I think five they pluck out, three survive.
And who did they pluck out of the water
with their scoops?
Who did they get?
I don't know exactly who they,
I don't remember exactly who they scooped out.
What is notable about the SS Californian's role,
Jim said, didn't pay any, or did,
Pays more taxes.
Paid more taxes.
Too many taxes.
If it was in Nevada, wouldn't have to do that.
Picked up the dead
with a pool net.
No.
No, the S's Californian
was 10 miles away,
close enough to watch her sink.
And did watch her sink
and didn't know
what was going on.
They didn't...
The Marconigram,
the radio...
But it wasn't like
they were masturbating.
They didn't know.
Or were they?
They didn't know.
They didn't have their radio on. They didn't know they were sinking. The thing's up on the floor. They didn't have their radio they they didn't know they didn't have
their radio on
they were thinking
the things up
on the phone
they didn't have
their radio on
they were looking
the radio
they're from California
they're all stoned
they're like
this fucking hell
the radio was like
new
it was like
it was like
wifi on a plane
like you can't expect it
it's not everywhere
and if you have
a marconigram
on your boat
that's great but then you gotta have somebody awake to fucking operate it you and i
could sit here and hear the neen and we don't know what it means you got to have someone awake
and this guy i mean i didn't know the morse code but exactly right and so you have to be a radio
operator to be able to literally save our soul right i know well know. Well, they had him, and he had on the SS California.
Yeah.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Yeah, he knows Morse code.
You would have been so handy in this.
Someone in the back says no.
I don't think it was exactly.
Some kind of a back that's like this.
As a Morse code professional.
I don't think it was Morse
code existed quite yet.
It's dot dash dot dot.
But it was a tapping.
Yeah.
This guy in California told the Titanic to slow down
and they told him to shut up.
He had already said,
you're going too fast into an iceberg field, man.
And they were like, fuck, we know.
And so he turned off the radio and went to bed.
And then two hours later, they're like, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Do you reckon Morse code operators' wives are very happy?
But they have in their logs.
The guy's looking.
They didn't see it enough to see.
They saw it sinking and said it looked tippy.
In their logs, they said, we see the Titanic.
She looks tippy. I like how angry you our Jim's just fingering somebody over here pointing
at the crowd like you got me Joe he doesn't do this that was me being an old
man going, hey!
I just want to get that fucking correct.
And how did they get the body? Was it a pool scoop?
Or just a scoop on the front? I want to say one other thing about the Californian.
They saw the flares
and they thought they were having a party.
Oh yeah.
They were like, wow. It kind of feels like
it was just a giant fucking...
I've been on one of those big Disney cruises.
They do that on the Friday night.
They do, and you've got to sit on your balcony
and you watch it with the kids.
Oh, whoa!
Pretty good day.
That guy's shitting off the side of the boat.
It's fucking fun.
Nice.
What was the ticket price for our first...
Oh, you didn't admit the recovering the body, the victims?
It was a different ship.
It was a ship called the McKay Bennett,
and it went out of Halifax a couple days later,
and they were, they went out in boats and picked the people up one at a time
if they were floating,
and they looked for IDs in their clothes
or in their pockets, some way to identify them,
and then, um,
this is kind of oogie, I got a gory
detail.
Most of them, of course, are frozen like this.
So to a person, they had to break everybody's arms and legs just to get them into the boat.
Oh, no.
And a lot of these folks, like John Jacob Astor, because they're all like this and frozen. What you do is you get a couple of poles this way.
Then you bring them all in
Where were you?
They needed you
They're fucking doing you a favor
Easily stackable
I'm sure they're still taking notes
They're coming back into port like that
They look great
They drop like this, boom, that one defrosted
Oh my god
Let me tell you
the Titanic Society
was right
to not do this
five classes
honestly
I have a lot of regret
I didn't expect
this episode
they might have liked it
they might have
thrown this enjoyable
what was
what was the ticket price
for a first class passenger
in the Titanic
alright so
this is for today
there were three classes
there was steerage
and then there was first,
and then there was the best, like Rose and what's his name?
Billy Zanes.
Cow.
In today's, this is converting it from pounds to dollars.
Was there mayonnaise on the boat?
Was there mayonnaise?
There was no mayonnaise in the boat.
What is that?
Is that mayonnaise or what's mayonnaise?
What did they put on their sandwiches?
They're water lilies.
The monays.
No, from the monays.
The paintings.
Monays.
I thought you were saying mayonnaise.
No, monays.
I wasn't asking about mayonnaise.
I assumed there would have been mayonnaise.
It's British cooking.
It's like their main condiment.
It brings me to the next question.
Is mayonnaise a condiment?
All right, show of hands, who thinks it's a condiment?
Yes, of course.
Who thinks it's not a condiment?
What is it?
What is it?
It's shit.
It's shit, that's right.
I turn around so unoften and that's all you've got for me?
All right, so mayonnaise is a condiment.
So the price was?
So converting pounds to dollars and then into modern money, it was about 800 bucks for a steerage third class cabin.
And the highest cost ticket would have been, by today's money,
about $92,000 000 just under 100 grand that's for your like multiple bedrooms yeah that's for super rich people it
was international travel wasn't a thing there i get that that sounds like plane tickets have
gone down once you get more boats it would have gotten cheaper no i reckon hey did the did the titanic company
after the titanic sank did they they just go build another one did they stay in business what
happened to them well the they still had three other ships in the fleet and it was the white
star line is the like company that owns all of these and they had a pretty dark record nobody
wants to get on a white star line ship after that. People kind of get it.
So prices would have gone down, right?
But then World War I starts two years later,
and all these ships are repurposed from luxury to wartime.
So this whole period in human history,
the idea that our biggest, most beautiful shit
was just for people to travel and spend their money,
was spent directly into our first
World War and our biggest machinery
has been for war ever since.
Except for that one with the
water park on the top of it.
That's right.
Where are most of the Titanic artifacts currently housed
and who owns them? Jim said it's a museum in Belfast.
Belfast? Hasn't been.
Belfast has a really great Titanic
exhibit that was built in 2012.
It's called the Titanic Experience.
And it is about the building of the ship and being from there.
But the largest collection of Titanic artifacts is in the Luxor in Las Vegas.
What?
And I said Las Vegas.
Got a point.
I just went.
In the Luxor?
At the Luxor at the Luxor
in Vegas
which I know
I hate it too
but there's this
company called
so they've got
Chris Angel
Chris Angel
Blue Man Group
Blue Man Group
and Titanic
and it's right in the
same lobby man
has anyone seen
Chris Angel lately
because all of his
posters he's got
all thin with abs
and stuff
and hanging on
crosses and like that
and then you see him
he's a little chubbier like I know it's that picture thing it's yeah you shouldn't have
fucking photos of yourself in the lobby it fucks your audience up because as soon as
chris angel walks out now everyone goes like this oh there's nothing wrong with him. It's just that he's not the picture from 10 years ago.
There was an event that sort of, like,
premoned this billionaires dying in the submarine thing
in the mid-'90s.
This company that owns the artifacts that are in the Luxor
is called RMS Titanic Inc.
And it is just a bunch of billionaires.
What they've done is they donate
gazillions of dollars to like scientific institutions and education institutions
and then in exchange your best minds are going to help me find the titanic right so i can't afford
all the engineering but i can afford to fund the school so there's like this fuckery that kind of
goes on and then they own all of the artifacts and they had this huge public event in the 90s
with buzz aldrin and Burt Reynolds
and all these fucking celebrities
went out into the north, in Halifax,
and they had like cocaine fucking party
and it was like $5,000 a seat.
That's where you got his name, Buzz, from.
To watch this RMS Titanic Inc. company
bring up the largest artifact they had ever brought.
They had this huge slab on side
with complete portholes, and everyone was so
excited to see it. And then as
they brought it up, the wind picked
up, and the waves picked up, and things started
spinning around, and it was scary,
tragic, and they could just
sort of see it below the waves, and the wires
broke, and it fell all
the way back down.
Do some more coke. But then they got it.
It's there.
I saw it.
It's very underwhelming.
They're good.
It was a big party.
But Reynolds,
he still would have fucked something.
What year did the first ever Titanic movie come out?
Jim said 1956.
Sinky the Boat was a porn.
The first movie came out
two months after the disaster.
It was in 1912.
And it starred a woman
named Dorothy who was a survivor.
She was a model and an actress who had
survived the actual sinking and
wore her clothes from
the sinking in the movie.
And there were
all the copies. But how did they turn it around so quickly?
I understand.
Silent, no sound.
Everybody knows in this town
how fast shit can go when there's no sound, man.
And they put it out,
and apparently people liked it,
but every print was destroyed.
There's no one.
No.
We can't.
Trust me.
Everybody else just did it.
Yeah.
And then there was 1958, which is why you got points,
because you said 1956 was the most famous movie until Titanic,
and arguably the better one, if you guys are Titanic fans.
1958 is called A Night to Remember, and it's fantastic.
Is it scary?
No.
Yeah.
I like the scary bits where people think they're going to die.
Is there a band?
There's a band.
They show the band.
And they have a lot of dialogue.
I could watch just...
Do a new movie, but all from the band's angle.
From the beginning of the band's day through right up until they die.
It's a great movie.
It's a good movie.
It's a really good movie.
Good movie.
People shouting requests.
Hey, he's there with his violin.
Maybe I should have been a lawyer.
Fuck it.
Oh, well, I'm here now.
Banding.
Banding.
All right, last question.
What maritime laws were changed as a direct result of the sinking of the Titanic?
Don't go there.
Ocean stop times.
Yeah, those are good.
You have to have enough lifeboats for everybody.
Yeah, but that doesn't make sense. But that doesn't make sense.
And it doesn't make sense.
We all know that lifeboats are the fucking Illuminati fucking bullshit.
It's just a man trying to keep you down.
And they're the fucking masks of the ocean.
You've either got COVID...
You've got COVID right now, don't you?
Who the fuck still wears a mask?
Look at these look all like clean people.
Have you had it yet?
Oh, yeah, I've had it twice.
Seem to be crushing it.
Jim, let people wear their masks in peace.
Oh, I'm a big fan of them.
I think he's smiling.
Yeah, he's having a good time.
His eyes look smiley.
He has fucking COVID.
I'm sorry, he's wearing it because he has fucking COVID.
When he says he has it twice, he just got it again.
This is his second time and he's like, ah, fuck.
And then he's in the front row now going,
fuck, if Jim Jefferies get COVID,
he's like, oh, it'll be a good story, I guess.
Because it's not like that original COVID.
Remember that original COVID that was killing all the Italians?
That was some...
Ooh, that one was bad, right?
The ones where the doctors didn't know what to do with you.
You'd come in and they'd go,
we're just going to try to hang you upside down for a week.
Remember that era of COVID?
That one you could die from.
And then the Delta you could die from.
But I think it's safe to say,
if you died from Omicron, you're a pussy.
I just want to know that.
It's fucking weak.
Weak game there. You heard it here, folks.
Okay. It is
the Rogan podcast now.
And we are just at the halfway mark, so I hope
you guys have enough.
His face just got so scared.
It was a Rogan joke.
We have three minutes left.
So we have
a thing. Before we get to the dinner party
fact, there was a
contest, right, Kelly? Yeah, we did an
Instagram giveaway, so we had
anybody who came from our Instagram. So we've got
a couple of winners. We've got an album
that will, Jim's album, that will be signed by
Jim. That'll go to Natalie
Farah. I'll decide whether I do that or not.
We've got a Titanic
book of fun facts
that will go to Jeremiah
James. And I figured
since we've got this lettuce
here, Jim can sign the head
of lettuce. We'll give that to Scott
Schaefer. Thank you
guys for coming. Alright, good job, Scott Schaefer. Thank you guys for coming.
Good job, Scott.
Okay, so our dinner... It's perishable.
Get that in the fridge.
Saran wrap it immediately.
This is the part time of our show called Dinner Party Facts.
We ask our expert to give us some fact, obscure,
interesting that they can use to impress people at a dinner party.
What do you got, Dawn?
Well, in 1898, 14 years before the Titanic sank,
a novel was published called The Titan.
And it was the story of a ship,
the biggest ship ever made by humans at the time, that was just about 900 feet long, that didn't have enough lifeboats, strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic, sends a distress call to a ship that takes over three hours to get there, and upon which about 700 people were the only survivors.
Wait, what's the name of that book?
The book is called The Titan.
That's fucking crazy.
Written by Matt...
Yeah, it was written, let's see,
it was written by a guy,
here's what we know,
the cover is fucking cool too.
The cover looks like that bounce house.
Like the cover,
the cover looks like...
Really?
Yeah, the thing,
the author's name is Morgan Robertson.
And people were like, do you think it was a premonition that he was psychic? And I was like, no, Really? Yeah, the thing. The author's name is Morgan Robertson.
And people were like,
do you think it was a premonition that he was psychic?
And I was like, no.
I think he read the fucking paper and was like,
oh my God!
And they did go back in a republication after Titanic and they changed a couple of things
to match the Titanic even closer,
but not that much.
The things that they changed
were stuff like
the collapsible. There were still the same
number, but it is
creepy, man.
And it'll wow people.
Everybody, give it up for our guest Don Brody today.
Good work, Don.
Thanks.
Can I pimp Hilf?
