i mean as long as you don't see donkey kong throwing ice barrels down you have to jump over those you know that's that's kind of what i wonder if the yetis don't want they don't want people up in their territory they're keep they're trying to keep you guys down the mainland it's it's fascinating i obviously you've been to places like antarctica and i think the problem with luke and i run into a lot of our in our channels is that everyone everyone sort of has in the information age, just so much information has come up with wild theories about everything. And what we try to do is obviously interview the experts and people who've written books and say, okay, you tell us, like, what is it actually out there? I mean, I believe that people aren't just making up these stories about this Yeti creature, but you know, people come up with wild ideas and they're constantly pitching them to us. I don't know how do you balance that. It's really hard to balance. Maybe that could happen. Maybe that does exist, but people will say there's these ice walls in Antarctica and you can't even get there and wild claims like that. But you've been there. So what do you do when you hear wild claims like that?

Well, personally, I believe in the scientific method. I think you think about something, you have a hypothesis, and then you test your hypothesis. So I thought about the Yeti. I hear these stories of a man-like beast. So my hypothesis was it could be a bear, a Himalayan bear. And so I tested the hypothesis by going to Bhutan and looking at the footprints, which did not look like a bear. And so I believe, you know, if you take stuff like the scientists do, test your theories. But wild claims on the internet, I don't give much credence to.

I've got a hypothesis for you. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is that the best British comedy? Or top ten?

Yeah, I would say it's one of the best. I love it. So do I. I love it. I love the Monty Python. Have

you found any coconuts in the Himalayas on the slope? For the horses. Where'd you get them? Do coconuts migrate, Graham? We need to know. Only by

sea. A

swallow may travel south. Because I love that film. In high school, I think I fell in love with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I must have watched it a hundred times. It's not often. We've had a few Brits on the show, which is fun. I'll

tell you a little known thing. You may have known a certain resemblance to Michael Palin about me. I used to work as Michael Palin's stunt double. I did his stunts. No way. Yeah. This

is amazing. You

know all those things where he was slapping John Cleese with a fish?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

that was me. You just have an affinity for pain,

huh, Graham? You just want to…

Yeah, I just love it. I seek it everywhere. Oh, my gosh.

If it's hard and it hurts, I'm there. Tell me when. That's

it. That's

me. You have a real connection to Monty Python, too. This is phenomenal. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, what was that like? Yeah, I mean, what was that like? I feel like you've lived 100 lives here. It's just anecdotal. Yeah, I did stunts for Michael Payland. What

were you like as a kid, Graham? Were you like this kid? Was you just out there getting in trouble all day long?

my mother said of me bitterly you're into everything she said i was always crawling into cupboards and trying to figure out how things worked um

anyway
