In short

Part 2 of Finverse History’s Thai Cave Rescue retelling, focusing on the logistics and medical strategy to extract 13 trapped boys (and their coach) from Tham Luang cave, including oxygen/air limits, the failed “wait it out” option, and the final July 8–10 drug-and-swim extraction plan. It also includes comedic commentary on public figures (especially Elon Musk) and the podcast hosts’ “autism” framing.

Guests

Horatio Gould (co-host/guest). The episode also features recurring “guest” voices only as referenced people in the story: Rick Stanton (British cave diver), Richard Harris (Australian underwater caver/anesthetist), John Volanthen (scout leader), and Elon Musk/SpaceX/Boring Company engineers; plus Navy SEAL Saman Kunan.

Key claims

Chronic migraine Botox ad (sponsor) prevents ~8–9 headache days/month vs placebo 6–7; serious spread can cause life-threatening symptoms. In the rescue, oxygen readings (~15%) made long delays impossible; the extraction required ketamine/alprazolam/atropine-like sedation so boys wouldn’t panic, salivate, or drown.

Notable examples

Meditation to conserve oxygen; “poo patch” and “drinking patch” separation; failed pumps; Elon Musk’s proposed kid-sized submarine and subsequent backlash; the final-day problem with the smallest boy needing a special mask.

1:57Welcome back to Finversus History. I'm joined by Horatio Gould. Hello. This is part two of our Thai cave rescue series. The greatest thing to happen this century. 100 %? Well, 9-11. 9-11. Since 9-11. Sure. I'd say this is one of the greatest things. Yeah. This was sort of the Thai 9-11, in a way. Thai 11, yeah. Thai 11, but it was... 12. It was Thai 9-11 if an autistic British guy punched the plane out the sky or like drove a plane drove a plane into the plane that was going into the building to stop the building being hit. So there's a plane in the air. He sees that the planes go in there and he's built his own small plane and he decides to get it.

2:39I will 9-11 that 9-11 plane. So he 9-11s the 9-11 plane. Wow. I think you've, you know, for me 9-11 as I've said many times is unimprovable. Yeah. As an event. Yeah. Yeah. I just think it's pure cinema. aesthetically it's pretty it is beautiful it is in the horror it's beautiful it's genuinely beautiful me watching 9-11 for the first time is like American Beauty where he's watching the plastic bag

3:08what's a young boy I'm spellbound yeah I'm an 11 year old just absolutely spellbound yeah yeah by the way I'm not getting out of a Thai cave if I'm 11 well actually speaking about you as a young fat boy when we did our always be comedy gig uh at the chelsea venue yes there was someone who went to school with you oh really uh and he chose to show me a photo that you might remember charlie can we get that photo up do you notice who this man is yeah i remember that show yeah yeah um and then let's play the video charlie uh so oh i've always said i went to school ever what's him fucking hell is that not one of the greatest photos ever taken that's incredible look at this so it's hawaiian shirt fat taylor sad dejected sort of moving like a sort of cruise ship in the background and in the foreground lit yeah cinematically is a young emma what's who has she been cast in harry potter at this stage looks like it yeah so this sort of hollywood superstar in the making in the shadows Guy Fieri is prowling fuck who was it then who was it I don't remember his name oh man but he was sending the actual photo here to the studio fuck that's so good but I couldn't believe my love you've kept that in your back pocket I kept it in my back pocket I was trying to find the right moment to do it I had like three episodes and I decided this one was the right one oh man but it's we're going to have it in the studio it's the perfect saddest that you described yourself it's the Hawaiian shirt you know he's you just he's so dejected what's amazing I've been trying there is a photo that I'm thinking of that I've seen and I can't find of me at my biggest and I've talked about this before but the deep level of shame I feel when I look at it but even like the famous fat one with you looking there's a real sheepishness to you because you seem you seem ashamed whenever there's the fat young tailor he seems ashamed This is a middle-aged man.

5:15This is me walking away from a darts hockey. What's a darts hockey? Where you stand. Oh, right, right. This is after a darts player. I don't know if it's gone well. I'm fucking Luke Littler. After I've thrown, I'm turned away to get another swig of ale. I look about... But, you know, it's just so beautifully framed, this image. I've always said I went to school with Emma Watson. Yeah, I know. It's just like you both had... You're both going to have... Certainly at the end, you're both going to have... you're both going to have very storied careers and it's going to be historic photos I just look I look yeah it looks like it looks like Gavin Plum and Holly Willoughby

5:55yeah did you ever speak I couldn't believe it I pulled her hair in year three and she didn't invite me to her birthday party or because she didn't invite me to her birthday I can't remember it's so good it's very different you can see that this is the difference between who becomes an actress and who becomes a comedian? Because when you grow up, it's like a lot of being an actress, you have to have just sort of genetic sort of, you're a genetic freak with how everything lines up. Comedians, you have to - We're thinking about genetic freaks. Comedians, you have to overcome something. So that's, if you want to know the difference between why someone becomes an actress and why someone becomes a comedian, it's also amazing to do like a question of sport thing where which one of these, now in the public eye, will go on to make a speech at the UN about feminism?

6:38You'll be surprised. It's exactly who you think. It might not be. because you might have the option. I've still got that in my locker. Yeah, because you might go in the UN saying feminism's bollocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a load of shit. A load of shit. Everything I've ever watched and talked about was all shit. Oh, so good. He is a cruise ship, you're right. He is a cruise ship. But I remember that shirt. I had, where did I get it? Did I get it in France? And now, what's fascinating is that now, I mean, Charlie, that's the kind of shirt you'd wear. Yeah. Is it? Yeah. I don't know if it is.

7:04You're wearing a kind of a lesbian aunt's shirt right now. I don't know. I'm not wearing fucking Hawaiian shirts It's quite an X level It does look like you might grow up to get some Thai boys out of a cave though Yes, yes But what I'm saying is that that shirt now That kind of shirt now You see people with moustaches in East London wearing that shirt I don't know if it's that shirt They're wearing it better than I did I'm not saying I think there's a specific difference This is really depressing I'm not saying it's not depressing This isn't cool at all I'm not saying it's cool. I'm just saying that you could put that shirt on a guy that's not depressing and fat, and it would work.

7:46I've got memories of that shirt, because it was soft, and I didn't sweat as much in it. In the shadows. In the shadows. Haunting. Haunting ever once. But it feels like it's a shark. It looks like you're... Is this the night you pulled her hair? No. It looks like you're snaking. This is way older. This must be when we're... I mean, it's two British icons, to be honest. This is a... Fuck me. What, mate? How is he... Why does he have that photo of this guy? I don't know. I don't know why he showed me and not you. I don't know. Why has he got a photo of Emma Watson? I think because his mum took it.

8:22Right. And he was going through an old shoebox of photos. Unless it's Emma Watson's brother. It's not Emma Watson's brother. Oh, right. Okay. Well, there you go. Wow. What an amazing piece of lore that is. is she in harry potter at this point i think she might have just yeah there was a point at school where she was in harry potter and like she had security guards and stuff and it was all a bit intense you're like this is bollocks charlie what was that were you stuffing your face i didn't speak like that rude you fucking bollocks uh but i'd auditioned to be um is it one of the dudley the fact no yeah yeah i'm not totally there i've said that before i didn't get very far they were like that's that's too that's horrible you can't be in the film get a picture of dudley up is it dudley is that what's his name dudley's the horrible older brother yeah yeah yeah yeah wait did they come around your school yeah audition drive yeah so was everyone doing for different parts yeah i wasn't going for harry i was going for the is it dudley or is it one of the dudley dursley yeah one of the dursley's yeah that was me evil but dudley's got like a boy dudley's got kind of a shine on him whereas this is like oil tanker well listen charlie what listen he's already said he's auditioned for dudley don't go like no you're you're not as charming like dudley had to have a bit but this is after i've not got dudley Is that why you're so sad?

9:53Yes. Because I was like, well, at least I may have. Maybe I'm Dudley. I mean, I'm just hulking around. Anyway. Anyway. Anyway. We've gone slightly off topic. Sorry, apologies. God. So 13 members of a Thai football team are trapped in a cave. They have been found alive by a crack squad of English autistic men. The A-Team. This episode of Finverse History is brought to you by Surfshark. Guys, look, you've heard it from us before. Yeah. No homo. No homo. I love Surfshark. Yeah, that's fair enough. He said it. He said no homo. No homo, I'm gay. No homo, I want to go down on Surfshark. Who is Mr. Surfshark?

10:34I don't know. I'd like to meet him. I'd love to shake his hand. I'd love to see his tight little trousers around his thighs. If only I could see it, but he's too well protected. Why? He's got a padlock over his ass. How come? Because he's Mr. Surfshark. And what does that mean? He doesn't let anyone within an inch of his trousers. He's got a chastity belt. If you like. So this is an internet chastity belt. Because public Wi-Fi is dangerous. They're like the public toilets of the digital world. Ooh. Go in there. You think you know what you're going in for. You don't know what you're leaving with.

11:02Yeah. I went in for a piss. Hepatitis. I've got AIDS. That's a bad deal. That's a bad deal. The exchange rate is bad. I went in for a pee-pee and I came out with full-blown AIDS. and that's because I went to a public toilet in Shepherd's Bush. Yeah. And they said it's a bar now where you've not cleaned it up properly. But did you go into the AIDS toilet? Well, that's my... Yeah, that's pretty on you. To be fair, it said men, women, disabled and AIDS. I misread that and I went into the AIDS one. That's fair enough. Yeah. It could happen to the best of us, but more often happens to the worst. But if Surfshark had been running those public toilets, that one would have been locked.

11:37Yes. Because Surfshark, once your device connects to the internet, all the information is encrypted. Basically, you need to be a medieval king with his daughter about your internet, right? Yes. Chastity bell. Yeah. Don't go off to fucking 7pm. I want seven men queuing, auditioning to have sex with her. I want you to have a real tough time at taking a shit because you've got a steel pants welded to your bottom half. And that is Surfshark. There is a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee if you use the code FVH. Sing it with me. Foxtrot Vagina Hotel. We run the Foxtrot Vagina Hotel and you get four extra months of Surfshark.

12:19Don't let these online threats catch you off guard. It's 2018. Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Allerge your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

12:54Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

13:24Fall has never looked or tasted this good. Sweet Greens Fall Harvest Menu is back with seasonal favorites dressed to impress and made to be devoured. warm roasted sweet potatoes crisp apples maple glazed brussels and crave worthy flavors in the autumn harvest bowl maple glazed salmon plate and roasted bacon brussels side the season's most desirable menu has returned to sweet green featuring fall's best dressed make your move order on the sweet green app they have been in the cave for 10 days by this point um now shall we place 2018 we did it pretty well last time is this we're gonna do it again in like so this is 28 is a year.

14:04We want to go, because the nearer to the time, we have to be tight as hell. Because we all remember things. So this is pre-trust. Yeah. It's pre-trust. It must be Theresa May at this point. Is this May's world and we're just living in it? She stands down in 2019, I believe. Yeah. So this is Theresa May years. Yeah. Has the Maybot happened? Has the Maybot happened? I think the Maybot is actually quite early on. I think Maybot may be 2017. and it's before the tears outside Downing Street yes the country that I love fucking come on love yeah I think we've all now that Maitre's not in power I think there's now a fondness towards May do you know what I mean there's like a nostalgia for May do you know what I mean the fifth is nostalgia for trust yeah yeah you feel you see her do the May bot and you think ah you know that's sweet I want to see the trust bot Of course you do.

15:04Trust comes out. You'd get fucking singles when you're putting them in her pants. Pennies. Putting pennies in Trush's bra. Yeah, it doesn't really work. That's why stripping never took off in the UK. Because we don't have small enough change. Paper money. Yeah, we're too stingy. Yeah, we've got thick two pound coins. The women aren't fit enough and the notes aren't small enough. Yeah. You know, they'd have to be really fit to put a fiver in. Yeah. Yep, it's post Maybot, and this is pre-the country I love. Now, the boys are on a little beach, little sort of ledge in the cave system. Now, I didn't realise this, Coach Aki, who's the assistant coach, he had taught the boys meditation to conserve oxygen because he was a monk.

15:51And we'll see when we do the Chilean miners series on the Patreon, the cultural differences about, to be honest, if you want anyone's if you want people stuck in a cave yeah you want this era that you want buddhist yes they're built to do nothing and like yeah i think they exist in the moment yes in the way that is i'm glad that shinobi happened in russia yes and fukushima happened in japan japan i'm glad that this happened because they seem like a peaceful yes we'll get into what we'll get into what latino men uh fight over yeah i mean it's more it's also a story of the difference between the innocence of boys and the filth of men.

16:29Yes, minors as well. It's minors versus minors, isn't it? Yeah. So he's teaching the boys to just exist in the moment to conserve oxygen, but we must remember it's fairy, fairy, fairy. I don't want to be present because my present is shit. Smelly. It's so smelly. I would be thinking about the future the whole time. They've got a poo patch, and then they've got the drinking patch, and they've got a piss patch. Yeah. And there's 13 of them. Yeah. I mean, the smell must have been unthinkable. Yeah. anyway what is it can't they just go poo in the water no because that's their drinking water Charlie this is how you would you would be so dead dead dead you contaminate your only drinking source they drink clean water from that's dripping from stalactite so they're like yes there you go yeah yeah they're doing that to survive yeah we've had the breakthrough on the 2nd July they found the boys they then have to go again but John Volanthen who's a scout leader he does like a sort of motivational like yes hooray because he's got like a little bit of he's got human empathy he's a scout leader so he knows how to corral a group of children in the documentary rick's like i've spent most of my life um trying to avoid children but um i don't know is he saying there's some kind of restraining order we don't know john belanther's like uh you know i've i've been in control of large groups of children before and uh i know what gets uh spirits up and what would he do hip-a-pouray for the British and for the Australians and the Thai's just like nah nah hungry hungry now no no hip-hip hooray let's play Zipzap Boing and that footage goes around the world and it's a miracle and the Buddhist monk from Myanmar coach what's he called Boon Cham Boon Boon yeah Boon the Cham Pootie Tang sorry Pootie Tang whatever his name is he suddenly hailed as a hero but remember his prophecy he'd said the boys are alive but it will take two lives to save them.

18:20So Navy SEALs begin going in to deliver the boys high calorie gels and medical supplies, the kind of supplements you bother with. Yes, of course, yeah. And sort of like protein bars and powder. Sat doing this all day, I'll be having these high calorie gels. So if you're trapped there, you'll be like, oh, brilliant. This is perfect. But they're like, can I have, you know, can I have like a papaya salad or something? And you're like, oh, lovely, a grenade bar. The round trip to the boys, which we are still trying to work, Charlie's still trying to work out how many human bum holes this is. Because he seems to have got the numbers way off.

18:52He can't even work that out. Let alone dwarf bum holes. Because he said like it was the length of 3 ,000 dwarves or 36 million bums. Which means that a dwarf is about a million bums. Which is not true. Can't be true. Can't be true. So the round trip takes the boy, that takes the diver six hours. Three hours there, three hours back. some of the route is only 38 centimeters wide but this is the thing what's so crazy is there's obviously you see the caving videos that's mad you're squeezing through these like gaps when you got the scuba gear when you're passing your oxygen tank through yeah and then putting yourself through and you're underwater and it's dark it's just like and there's a line so at all points they are they are um putting a line the rope uh through the case system so there's always something to hang on to, which is one of the core tenets of caving, is that you always have a line that you never let go of.

19:48I've actually found the truth now. The way to the boys and back is 196 ,850 normal human bums, or regular human bums, and if you're doing dwarf bums it would be

20:05281 ,215 dwarf bums to get them together. That seems a bit more... That sounds reasonable. I'm not sure where the million came from. I don't know where the 36 million came from. 36 million bums. I can't even imagine that. Try imagining it. There's a difference between a Holocaust and a Holocaust denier, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Six million plays 200 ,000. But are we Holocaust denying his bum number? We're Tarka bum deniers. Anyway. Right. So they start this sort of system of delivering supplies to the boys, uh medicine and there are these four seals maybe four or two navy seals should be said they they get to the boys and then they're like oh i don't actually want to go like the dive is very difficult and they can't come back so they're like they realize fuck we're just gonna have to stay with the boys until the end right whether they die or they don't like we can't get back because they couldn't get it was too much yeah they needed help to get out and so if they if they can't get the boys out and they've added two more to the tally of of deaths right because at this point it's a monsoon season and they and i think there's been a pause in the rain but it's it's like coming but and it's gonna be months so it's still seeping through partly they're thinking do we keep the boys alive for four months yeah while the rain subsides and then like they can walk out yeah uh but that's not an option because uh at one point they take a oxygen reading uh off where the boys is and it's 15 yeah they'll be dead anything they'll be dead in like two weeks surely i think i think anything under 18 is seen as uh uninhabitable yeah um oh here we go so normal air is 21 oxygen uh so 12 to 16 causes the heart rate to increase so think of this as i'm meeting a woman that i'm not met yeah 10 to 14 affects coordination so this means that she's maybe revealed her upper arm or something yeah six to ten percent can cause vomiting this consciousness and less than six percent the body suffers convulsions and breathing this is revealing her tits takes her pant yeah panties off breathing impossible the heart stops so this is what so this is how rick stanton sees it yeah he goes okay there's 15 percent so the moment it's just a woman showing her upper arm yeah but we cannot let her take her top off otherwise these boys will die their hearts will stop okay they are trying to work out how on earth they're going to get these boys back uh part some some of the thai guys the government officials like let's just deliver food for them for months but that would take like 2 000 meals i think um and it could cause long-term health problems uh also they're like getting sick they're sort of pooing yeah you know it's pooey yeah get them out i think um pooey's not the name of one of the boys um there was also talk of like drilling into the top of the mountain to try and ease similar to Chilean miners rescue, but that would take a month and they'd be dead by the time.

22:58And basically the weather is the big factor. And obviously the Brits understand this. It's a test cricket playing country. Okay. You have to score runs quickly. We've had lots of disappointing days after being rained off. Yes. And the danger is this test gets rained off. You have to score quickly. Yeah. Right. Duckworth Lewis may come into play. Yeah. Now, on the 4th of July. So this is two days after the boys have been found. which is actually weirdly when it was a live update this is what i remember the most from the actual time is when elon did this so elon musk gets involved uh tweeting i suspect the thai government has us under control but i'm happy to help if there is a way to do so okay that's fine that's quite nice from elon this is sort of i'd say this is elon's big um pr turn isn't it this whole thing this is his villain origin story yes it is because i think before this i don't remember he's gone through a lot of things remember he was the remember he was the green guy yeah yeah he was the um electric car guy yeah leonardo dicaprio is interviewing him for like climate change stuff spacex has he done the has he done the reverse rocket yet or that's not yet at this point and then he flipped yeah this is when he flipped and now he's zoom calling the far right in the uk yeah saying you're all hobbits yeah to get rid of the orcs i.e.

24:15Muslims. Yeah. And his dad is saying that Michelle Obama has just obviously got the nine inch schlong. I'm to be fair, that is... Well, that is common knowledge. That's common knowledge and it is obvious. Yeah. So, to be fair to him, I don't want to... His dad is just pointing out the obvious. Michelle Obama's got a nine inch schlong. It's common knowledge. It's common knowledge. So, no, we can't judge his dad by his son. It's obvious. Okay, because his dad just sees things clearly. I mean, his dad just sees through the shit. Yeah. It's obvious. It's just common knowledge. His dad has searing clarity that his son doesn't, I think.

24:46It's true. If only Elon had the same searing clarity as Errol. Yeah. If only we all had the same searing clarity as Errol Musk, the world would be a lot safer place. So, Musk's team of engineers from SpaceX and the Boring Company, is that what they're called? The Boring Company. Yeah, because they bore holes to the ground. Yeah, I know. But anyway.

25:10They must have had some fun while they're knowing well. they begin work and I mean it's evil autism versus good autism this is you can go either way autism has no morals to it it's just which way do you point the wind up autist and which way do they walk bourgeois Eichmann yes Charlie there's also there's horny autism as well like Bonnie Blue does have autism I think well that's female autism which is its own harder but it's a very its own beast there is a horny version of autism because I don't know female autists they're not going into caves they're It's a whole other thing. They are the caves.

25:43They're just sucking in poor British men. So poor British autistic men are getting sucked up there. And the great tragedy is there's not even 12 Thai boys stuck in Bonnie Blue's pussy. Yeah. Autistic individuals can experience heightened sexuality or hypersexuality, which can present as intense sexual desires. Whatever you hyper-focus on, it's not really your choice. But I suppose... And she hyper-focus on having a million cocks in her family. I suppose the problem is, or maybe what's tough to understand is, is it sexual when it's an autism hyperfixation? Because it - It takes a level of sexuality out of it.

26:15Yes, because it's not as kind of intense passion. It doesn't seem, you know, Bonnie's not passionately fucking these men. She's methodically working her way through it. She's collecting Panini stickers. She's Eichmann going like, yes, no, yeah, stamp over there. Yeah, exactly. But instead it's like, yeah, next. There's a joylessness to it. Yeah. which makes people think it's not really sex it's more just kind of stamp collecting Musk thinks that you could set up a network of tubes to the cave to inflate with air like a bouncy castle right he's a big for their leisure so in case they get bored let's get them out first Elon maybe on the 6th of July tragedy strikes so everyone's been very happy they found the boys you know it's all very mystical well they're happy they found the boys that's one thing and then it's the dawns them how do we get them out because finding the boys and them all dying is arguably worse yes in some ways well the brits know this but the tie that the public think brilliant we found them they're alive they think they're just going to get them out yeah the brits the four guys are actually like oh fuck this is where the real work begins so a navy seal uh saman kunan he dies on the 6th of July while delivering essential oxygen tanks because the Navy seals, even though they're doing their best, they don't have the equipment or frankly, the immunity to put them that Rick Stanton.

27:46He should never been allowed in that case. Well, it was a complete oversight. It was, it's a tragedy by the Thai government. Let him in there because in the documentary, they interview his girlfriend or wife and it's like red flag, red flag. He should not have been allowed in. We should have had a fucking phrenologist there. look at him yeah chiseled chiseled yeah i would have taken one look at that jawline and said you need to leave immediately your life is an immense danger you cannot go in this cave this is for men whose balls have shriveled up like a lot like pouring salt on an oyster yeah okay um anyway one of the heroes of the story the tragedy saman kunan uh dies uh and it's becoming very, very apparent that drilling or waiting for the dry season is impossible.

28:34At this point, after Saman's death, the Navy SEALs basically are like, we're not going in there anymore. Right, we're not going down. Now, just to reiterate the map of the mystical princess's fallopian system, there is a place called Platform 3, is it Platform? 9 and 3 quarters. Not Platform 9 and 3 quarters. It's run through the wall. So Chamber 3 is kind of the start of the actual diving. Now, they realize... Now, Rick Stanton, okay, he has a plan. Okay, and I want to stress, this is how autistic he is. Only a man who has never even considered the possibility of having children or a relationship would come up with this plan.

29:21He's like, well, it's obvious. You just have to drug the children. You sedate them. You put them to sleep and then we drag them out through the cave system. What we do is, and that was the second draft, the first draft, is we should shoot them all in the head and then they're easier to drag through. No, we need to get them out. Oh, right, yeah. Because if you remember, the blokes had fallen asleep just past chamber three. They had struggled. They were stressed out. They were panicking and panic is death in this instance. So Rick Stanton says, you have to drug them. Now he has a friend called Richard Harris, who's an Australian guy, I mean this is I mean the chances of this are extraordinary because also the kind of enclave of British autism that's been spread out it's less severe it's less close to the elephant foot that is Rick Stanton but it's still from the same sort of placenta not placenta kombucha mother yeah of autism is Australia so two of the men on this team are Australians yes it's sort of like you're sort of getting away from the Commonwealth it's all we have left it's this fractured patchwork, you know, coalition of what's the saying?

30:26Dr. Richard Harris. Richard Harris. And so not only Harry to his close friends of which they're at zero because it's pretty autistic. But Harry, he is an underwater caver like the rest of them, but he also happens to be a world leading anesthetist. I can't say it. Anesthetist. Yeah. And so Rick Stanton, you know, Batman, calls for Robin and says, I need you to come here and drug these boys. Yeah. and how richard harris is going is this a safe line i'm not going to do that can we do this on a discord or something you're in thailand asked me to come and drug some children uh rick how are things at home mate okay this feels like a bit of a honey trap but he says i'm well i'll come out there and i'll do the cave diving yeah and then rick says if you come and you see these boys you will and you don't drug them then you are seeing these boys knowing they're going to die sorry if you come and you see these boys and you don't drug them then you're seeing the boys are going to die.

31:23And Harry goes, well, okay, I can't, I can't deny that, right? Gets a couple of bags of ket in. He gets the ket. And this is something, by the way. This is something maybe Charlie could maybe help with actually. Yeah. Yes, yeah. But again, you have to be, so you have to be Charlie who can cave die. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the problem is that this guy. It's the combination of skills. Yeah. I mean, a one in a million. He's the one guy in the world who could do this. Yeah. This combination. Extraordinary that this guy exists. So he comes out and also his by the way he says goodbye to his dad who's in the care home right so he and his dad's always like can you stop cave diving and he's like he's all joking like oh yeah no this has been my last dive one last job one last job so the rescue plan on the 7th of July is announced to the press except it's not they say that the kids will be given a minor tranquilizer in order to calm their nerves yeah now what they don't say is yeah we're going to pump them full of care every hour we're giving them care yeah uh how is the key thing about care as a tranquilizer there's many different types is that you stay sort of breathing normally even when you're passed out yes and it keeps you still basically but there's a whole cocktail that richard harris concocts right he says that they are given he says that you need to the the risks of doing this are if any water gets into the mask, they'll drown.

32:46If they panic, they'll drown. Saliva gets produced, they'll drown their own saliva. Bear in mind, they basically need to be lifeless corpses that Rick Stanton can drag through a tiny hole, right? So he gives them ketamine to knock them out, alprozolam to calm them, and then atropine to reduce saliva production. It must be said, the boys are having a fucking night of their lives yeah they're fucking buzz they're like fuck yeah they're in a k-hole yeah being pulled through a cave hole um at this point elon musk is how it comes up with his plan right uh yeah so at this point uh on the seventh also on the seventh yeah so he says that he built a tiny kid-sized submarine yeah that could go through the cave system and he suggested this and then i think he keeps i think he even rocks up to the cave and says let's let me do this does Does he rock up to the cave?

Read the full transcript

33:43He comes to the cave. Does he? And then I think, was it, who've told him to fuck up? Is it John or one of the others? Vern tells him to fuck off. Vern says, fuck off. Yeah. You're in over your head. And then he goes on Twitter and calls him a pedophile. Right. Anyway, so we'll get to that later of the story. So Harris goes in the cave and he sees them and he goes, yeah, you're right. You have to drug them. Then there's a big meeting with all the, with the government officials and they go, okay, we'll tell the person. So it's like roofing them for good. It's a rare. It's the best roofie there's ever been.

34:13The most, the noble roofie. Yes. The noble roofie. Yeah. Um, uh, yeah. They would, cause they don't really know what's going to happen to me. That's the, they are sort of roofie in them. Yeah. I guess the kids, they would, Richard Harris in the documentary is part of one of the most emotional bits. Cause he's going, I don't, I don't want to do this. This is essentially euthanizing them. Yeah. And then, uh, Stanson says to the gut ties, he says, either you drug them and we try this, or they're dead yeah so it's it's pick a bad pick a bad option they say that they'll get granted immunity although the australian foreign minister goes to richard harrison says you are aware that if this goes badly you we may not be able to stop you being put in jail for roofing kids yeah which is a tricky one it's fair enough what do you mean well you're roofing kids and they died in the law and they died okay you know i suppose roofing it when does roofing become roofing yeah surely is it when you then sexually assault them are they asleep or if you just roofie them and then leave i mean it's not it's not cricket but it's not you know it's not just because it's a laugh yeah or you're trying to help them right if they're stuck in the toilet and you roofie them and then open the toilet i mean i don't you know what i mean i do know what you mean at what point is roofing really bad is it a good question yeah i don't think we have the brain power to to work out anyway so uh starting or growing your own business can be intimidating and lonely at times your to-do list may feel endless with new tasks and lists can easily begin to overrun your life so finding the right tool that not only helps you out but simplifies everything as a built-in business partner can be a game changer for millions of businesses that tool is shopify Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10 % of all e-commerce in the U.S.

38:35And on the 8th of July, they all swim up, right? They get there three hours and they trade. They also call for these other British men to come, by the way. they say that we need more British autistic men. It's like the second circle out from the autism sun that is standing and this other sort of solar system of men come in. They need some more bodies in there. And fuck me, these men. I mean, they're really bad, these guys. They're really, really boring cunts. Anyway, they come and they... So the children are bound and harnessed like packages. Hogtied. Hogtied, trussed, like a chicken. They decide to put...

39:12Lemon up their arse was not necessarily in retrospect. Not necessarily at all. but harris is going we don't know it's an experimental cocktail of drugs ketamine atropine lemon at the arse rosemary thyme apple in the mouth um so uh they they say that they're gonna have to put the tank on their front so that they can um i don't know it's easy to push them through push them through yeah so they're gonna have to swim them out one by one but they've only got four like masks that fit them or something so they have to do this in well there's not enough divers anyway they have to do this one by one so on the 8th of july uh they the rescue uh begins uh they have richard harris has trained the the cavers how to give injections because they're going to have to give multiple injections this is what's so mental about this is it's not only the craziest idea anyway yeah you're fucking drugging kids you're taking them underwater caving for a three-hour journey back uh and then you're not even bumming them you know that's what's crazy about it it's like all this you're not even bumming them i mean it's monk-like discipline it's incredible it's and they're british these british autists aren't even pedophile i mean that's our great export the rarest the lunar eclipse that you get a british autist who can cave dive and he's not a pedophile it's amazing christ uh during this three hours about the hour and a half mark the cat will wear off yeah they'll start they'll feel them start to like shake yeah and they have to underwater in the dark get a syringe and re-administer care yeah consistently and they're not doctors these are cave divers yeah astonishing anyway so that so they start on the 8th of july and they uh they get on the first day they get four kids out they get to chamber three and the kids come out and then they get like um um it's like when in the old days there was a fire you have like a whole village passing a bucket of water right it's 200 people going up the stairs to the mouth of the cave that passed the kid that passed the kid up into an ambulance uh so they then they get four out the first day and they think great uh the second day uh they get another four out and then they uh they realize that the the water, the current, the weather's coming in.

41:32Because all of the water diversions or pumps, there was like 15 pumps, and I think basically 13 of them have broken. So only two are even working. So they start to realize that the 10th of July is going to be the only time, the last time for a long time that they could get everyone out. So they go, right, we're going to have to get five guys out on the 10th, right? Now, on the 9th of July, is this when Elon Musk turns up with his submarine? So he's like, guys. You guys are fucking pedos. You guys are pedos. No, no, no. Crucially, they're not. Yeah. That is a very, very... But it's an understandable misconception from Elon.

42:05Listen. You know, British men in Thailand looking for boys in the cave. It's common knowledge. It's obvious. It's obvious. You know, this is, you know, a stop clock is... Yeah, it's wrong. Yes. No, a stop clock is wrong most of the time. But also, a correct clock is wrong as well. Is it? Yeah. When? I don't know, actually. It doesn't make sense. but the local governor um uh it says it was not practical and uh elon's like can you stop throwing stainless steel pounds at me um musk replies that the governor's not an expert and i've got a little kid sub yeah um i think it's this is the term i think it's more of a pedo thing to build a kid submarine well this is musk stepping into the the kind of the dark musk is doing because he's he's been successful in Darth Musk Darth Musk because he's been successful in certain fields it gives him the confidence that he understands other things yeah so he gets involved in politics social media stuff like that when it's like you don't want a guy who has no emotional intelligence or empathy running a social media it's a terrible idea it's the worst thing to do he should build a rocket but this is the beginning of him basically trying to do stuff he doesn't have any expertise on yes totally I basically think he's right about everything yeah so by this point they've already got the majority of the team out but he's like I'm here with the sub on the 10th of July there is it's all going very well the guys the British guys are like I told you it would work and Richard Harris is thinking with every kid that survives he's thinking thank fuck I'm not going to a Thailand jail because on the documentary he's like what you do is you drug them and then you fucking push their face underwater and tie their hands behind the back I mean it's a bad look my godfather got he was taking heroin through Thailand and he got put in a Thai jail for 12 years.

43:57And he's your godfather. Yeah, my godfather. I mean, he wasn't my godfather when he did this. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was good. It was before he did this. So he was my godfather and then almost immediately got put in a Thai prison. It'd be quite funny if your dad who lives in Southeast Asia to be like, well, that guy in a Thai prison should be my son's godfather. This is the kind of guy. This guy I want. Apparently the beds in a Thai prison, obviously it's quite tough in a Thai prison. Yeah. But the beds are, this this wide so you have to start side sleep or else you'll fall off the bed it's like literally just a oh but i i sleep like i'm a i'm a dead victorian child what's like that well you wouldn't be able to do that because your arms would be right yeah knuckle dragging like an ape well i have to do this yeah i'd have to sleep like that but you'd be doing the sort of luge because you'd be balancing on the sort of god awful i'm sure there's worse things in thai prisons than that but anyway um so they encounter an issue on the last day the youngest boy the smallest one Pong?

44:50I don't know what he's called. Anyway, he... His name's Mark. Mark? Okay, well, listen, one of them is called Pong. Okay, before anyone gets stuck in. So he's only 29 kilos. One of them is called Pong. Yeah, you're right. He's named after what his mum does for a living. His brother's called Ping. Anyway, he's 29 kilos, and he is too small for all these masks. And that is very important because if a hint of water gets in and you get it up, you're going to do drowning, right? So they'd also had, again, I don't know why, they've got this sort of little plastic pink toy mask. So they put this mask on and the seal keeps collapsing, but basically if it sits on straight, then it works.

45:35And so the diver who has to do this is thinking, if he so much as brushes the side of a cave, that mask's knocked off and he's dead. He's dead, yeah. So now it's like a speed run on hard mode. He's got to go through and not touch any of the sides. Yeah. And the pumps are failing and water levels are rising. Yeah. It takes longer than ever. There's also a moment where one of them doesn't come through with the other ones because he loses the line. And he turns around and he goes the wrong direction. Yeah. Luckily. And luckily the doctor finds him and he goes, oh, yeah. Have a sniff on this, brother.

46:13Oh, yeah. Have a bit of this, mate. Not the time. I don't want to go in a K-hole. now see how you get on yeah uh and then uh the doctor takes the kid goes i'll take him to the anyway uh eventually uh by the end of the 10th of july all the boys and their coach are rescued uh they're all taken to hospital and immediately the divers start drinking jack daniels out of plastic cups uh the autists uh i mean they're like bloody hell this stuff's strong yeah i don't know about this they're putting monster in the mixing with the jack daniels they make a little cocktail they're getting their fedoras out the the pumps pretty much immediately start to fail and then all the navy seals who've been in chamber three they have to come out and evacuate it's indiana jones sort of yeah literally everything collapses around and the cave is not accessible again for eight months really yeah fuck so it's literally the last day for eight months where they could have got them out if they had if it had to wait eight months could they have just eaten each other like could it have been a round two for the snow plane well no because the oxygen was going down so much but if they also remember no they wouldn't they wouldn't not to compare it to the chilean things too many times but as we'll talk about the chilean ones the the big latino guys horny guys and they're like day two they're like who are we gonna eat yeah yeah i'm hungry who are we eating then yeah yeah so the thai guys are just yeah yeah it's again it's it's such a perfect perfect story coincidence you've got thai thai boys guys do what they do best which is get kids out of caves underwater without fucking them though that's also what we do best that's what's extraordinary about this they aren't pedophiles yeah and we don't know yet this is what they do best is just do nothing in a cave exactly just sit there with their legs crossed waiting for something to happen but we don't this is such young history such nubile history that we don't it doesn't have the weight of time no but also we don't yet know if the cave divers actually aren't pedos yes it is suspicious that they're not Sir James Savile it only came out properly after he died and I still question that Sir James Savile is the knight of the realm knight of the realm but he did get it for services to pedophilia which I thought was suspicious well fair enough fair enough it's what this country does best but the extraordinary he's an industry titan she's captain of industry the extraordinary coincidence that there are four british cave divers who aren't pedophiles and drug 13 boys to get them out of the cave and then don't even want to touch them i mean i mean it's just and alongside that elon musk has these all of that they get in the cave and elon musk is like who are you here to meet yeah understandably he's saying yeah young boys yes yeah but in a heroic Yes, I'm drugging them, but it's not what you think.

49:06I'm a single autistic British dad who's going to meet young boys, but I'm a hero. Yes. It's upside down world. It is. It is. So the mission in total involved 10 ,000 people, 100 expert divers. Pumps removed 1 billion litres of water from all the surrounding women's pussies. Can't yuck. There was not a wet pussy in the area. Rick was around. 700 diving cylinders 10 police helicopters and the boys then spend 10 days in hospital quarantine to recover 11 members are ordained as monks to honour Saman yeah that must be some sort of title because I don't really understand what that is to honour the guy who died they I guess it's someone died trying to save you to become a priest but I guess it's a monk's different I don't really understand the British divers receive George medals various honours now is that the highest civilian honour because I think it might not be, which I think is kind of a bit of a snub.

50:06There's great footage of Rick Stanton being honoured by... The highest UK's is led by the George Cross. What do they get? The George... What do they have to do? Is it possible that it's because it's abroad? Hang on. So hang on. The George Cross is supreme civilian honour for acts of the greatest heroism in danger. The George Medal is the second level award for gallantry of an extremely high order, often for bravery not in the face of the enemy. Who's got a George Cross? Do you have an enemy? Rather than just a... Does the cross have to be civilians in a war zone? In danger. That is in danger. Rick needs a cross.

50:42What else do you have to do? He didn't fuck them. Come on. You should get a cross just for that. Maybe that's why he's not got a cross. I mean, he's no Sir James Savile. They went on this morning. Come on. Yeah. They've got Pride of Britain. And who were they sat across from? Fucking Eamon Holmes. Oh, it wasn't Philip. was it or was it Schofield I think it was Schofield I mean just to show you that oh my god the range my fucking god Schofield's across of course he's like okay yeah I want to come in for that one yeah you got any of these boys numbers

51:19wait Rick over here over here over here so these boys yeah yeah you got contact these little pong

51:29yeah uh and then holly willoughby's like yeah sorry i'm a bit on edge i just saw a photo of uh of gavin plum in a hawaiian shirt behind me

51:42um so uh the yellow pride of britain i mean this is where i just i don't think we've since we've had anything like a level of pride in britain but when did you properly find out about the story as it was happening as it was happening and then it was only so i feel like it was a slow drip and obviously these guys are documentary that came out uh as i said in the last episode there was this media uh bidding war for the rights to the story and and all the all of it came out at the same time we watched it all back to back but what didn't come out until like maybe nine months afterwards was the scale of the drugging yeah so it's an inquiry into no it was one of the medical war on drugs no one of the medical team did a paper saying this is how this is this is the cocktail of because it was a new cocktail of drugs right this is the cocktail of drugs that worked for this thing and then everyone was like sorry mate you did what you fucking you drugged fucking 13 kids but uh as i said when they told the press they were like oh yeah we're just going give them a small tranquilizer for the nerves um it was not told that they were completely roofing them anyway it was above our autism grade yeah exactly yeah and you know we're not autistic it doesn't it doesn't sound good yeah but it's just above it's what needed to happen though yeah well we need to petition that rick stanton and john vinton get gc gc because the medals is a disgrace yeah uh now elon musk uh this is where uh so diver verne unsworth who's the sex tourist diver uh who formed the autism team he labeled elon musk sub a pr stunt uh which and then musk then said well it's better than just some pedo guy or it's called kind of fair enough if you think about the you know you'd assume so yeah uh and then so so unsworth's like i'm not a pedo i'm a sex tourist um you know what don't bother showing the video we will make one of the mini sub pod going all the way to k5 no problemo sorry pedo guy you really did ask for it pedo guy pedo guy now he then has a defamation suit from Verne Unsworth but he doesn't Verne doesn't win because Musk says I'm South African and that's just what we call people a kind of pedo guy which I don't think it is but then also like Verne asking for 145 million pounds of damage I always wonder that when it's there's so much it's like is is that 140 million pounds worth of damage done to you I've made some pretty derogatory terms about you.

54:15Have you got anything to say in response to that? It's not finished. I believe he's called me a paedophile. Well, by definition, you know, rescuing 12 young boys, by definition, that puts everybody else in the same context. That's not the argument, lad. Don't say... No, no, you say I'm not a paedo. Don't say, well, then we're all paedos. but I think people realise what sort of guy he is. Yeah, he could have played that better. I should have said, like, I'm not a paedophile. I'm trying to save kids. It's not like, well, if you say that, then he means all... Well, if I'm a paedophile, then we're all paedophiles.

54:56Are we all paedophiles? Because that's great. Well, then the guy in the cave with the boys right now is a paedophile. We need to get him. Fuck, he's a paedophile. Yeah, to be fair to him, he did not handle that particularly well. Well, if I'm a paedophile, then everyone involves a paedophile. So we're all paedophiles. Take that. Yeah. Yeah, just say you're not and say that. But this is Musk's big, this is the, yeah, as you say, the villain origin story. After all that, a second Navy SEAL dies from an infection he got in the cave. Yes. And therefore, Kruba Boonchop, what's he called? Kruba Boonchum, he...

55:36Was proved right, because I imagine... He's proved right. Yeah, and part of him, when he found out, must have been like... Base Evans' brother. oh a tragedy a navy seal was done because he was bricking it because only one died fuck i fucked this i fucked this he's weird though well very mystical isn't it the blend of the spiritual and the pragmatic is amazing and then the cap team captain dom from the one of the boys he dies in uh 2023 in leicestershire what is it about ties in leicester what's going yeah right taxing Shinowatra yeah this guy this guy killed himself are you saying he didn't kill himself is this an Epstein thing no I'm saying look don't look don't do that was it any it wasn't anything don't do that we fucking the amount of money do you know what I mean obviously all life is precious but when you've been saved by don't do that struggle through it like yeah how do you think that makes Rick Stanton feel you know you should have fucked him

56:45Charlie

56:53that's what Rick is saying oh you're just gonna kill yourself anyway

57:14you're making you're making that's a laugh i've never heard you surprised me with my one of my best hawaiian shirts when i was 10 it's been a big episode for me oh you got real you're welling up oh fuck me um yeah uh and also can we just find out uh Was it worth it? What did the Wild Boars do? Have they got relegated? How good are they at football? I suppose is the question I'm asking. What was their first game after the rescue? That's what I want to know. The first team game back, obviously there would have been a lot of support for them from the neutral. But there's a lot of pressure as well.

57:58They had a celebratory low stakes exhibition match just after they left hospital. And what was the result, please? Scores on the doors. Scores on the doors. Okay, so the football team have a celebratory match in October in Argentina against a River Plate under 13 side, and they ended in a 3-3 draw. Four draw. Their defence really hasn't sharpened up. You'd think that maybe they'd be able to, you know. Lock it down. Lock it down. They've spent fucking two weeks in the caves together. Sounds quite end-to-end though, actually, the three-all. And then one of the diver, Josh Bratchley, he required his own cave rescue in 2019.

58:33too yeah well this is the part with i guess because this story is so heroic you view it as like it's so validating for people who've dedicated their lives to going into underwater caves but as soon as you have the people's hobby because whenever a hobbyist dies you're always like what the fuck are you doing in there yes it's like yeah yeah yeah that's what happens it's it's hard to be sad for the kitchen if you can't um and a little postscript on verne or on um on Rick Stanton. I think now, does he get together with Amber Dongwood? Yeah, he does. He does? So he's still with, he's working as a public speaker, happily enjoying his retirement.

59:13Yeah, I saw his agent is there. He's got an agent. Yeah, he's got a speaker agent. He's got to get a George Cross. We could have him do the Christmas party. Oh, yeah. I'm a risky Christmas party. Rick Stanton. Rick Stanton. Yeah, probably a bit dry. So after this, obviously, the autists go back to their sheds they go back to exploring wookie hole yeah um somerset and they just carry on their peaceful retirement and i suppose to sum it up i mean it is a it's a story that i don't think we'll see again for another 40 years where another generation of autistic brits have their logistical things um dunkirk forklunds and then this yeah uh i suppose the next one's going to be even smaller isn't it so be one bloke it's going to be francis bourgeois yeah just him trying to get a fleshlight off someone that's been welded shut yeah um it's an incredible story and i um if if there's any anything to say at the end of it it's just hashtag give those guys to george cross yeah um that's the end of our tie cave rescue series uh we'll be discussing the chilian miners uh rescue on the patreon very different different tone there's a different tone different tone that I didn't remember no it's um it's a bit grotty that's the last one um uh join the Patreon for that and if not we'll see you next week for a brand new topic this has been Finbusters History from all of us here goodbye goodbye goodbye
