We just like spent ridiculous amounts of money and effort on absolutely nothing. One of my favorite double agents was a guy who was a code named Garbo. He was a guy called Juan Pujol Garcia from Barcelona. He was anti-communist, anti-Nazi, wanted to work for the British, but he thought he'd be more helpful if he was already a German spy.

Bad guys. There's a thing as well in Barcelona. They've tested out this new thing at comedy clubs, whereby they've put on the back of seats, little cameras that stares directly into the face of the person sitting watching the comedy show, and it's there to monitor laughter, patterns so every time you laugh it clicks and says you've laughed once so if people at the end of the show go up and say i found that very disappointing i uh would like a refund they can go well actually you've laughed 67 times this evening and you can't have your money back there's one yeah two but everyone fake laughs at a comedy show don't think for a minute we genuinely think you're laughing everyone puts on a fake laugh you could be laughing at how shit it is yeah yeah no it was it's a it's a It's to see how it would work because what they do is they then they drop the price all together of the ticket And so they clock up everyone's this is free gig you go to it they clock up the laughter amount and then at the end of the gig They say you've laughed and there's a cap on how much laughter there is Because then everyone's just gonna go I'm just gonna enjoy this but I'm not gonna laugh so I get it for free But they awful yeah mouth closed look straight ahead think of death think of old people just think of sadness Some people don't laugh even when they're finding things really funny.
