That's so frustrating. It was so frustrating. And to make matters worse, we start the second tour and the tour guide, who's like this kindly British woman from Essex with long gray hair. And the first thing she says is, If you look to your right, there's the indoor swimming pool. I've actually swum in it. What?
The new king has actually turned down the temperature a few degrees, so I'm swimming in it less, but there's the pool house right there. So for the rest of this 90-minute tour, I'm thinking the whole time, please say more about the swimming pool, please say more about the swimming pool, please say more about the swimming pool.
But instead, she's pointing out the rare shrubbery that they have lining the gardens, and she's pointing to the rose garden, and the marmalade plants, and the tennis courts, which are actually cool if a little dingier than I would have expected.
And at the end of the tour, I'm kind of trying to play it cool, but I go up to her and I ask, like, hey, you mentioned that you had swum in the Buckingham Palace swimming pool? Yeah. Like, I'm so curious. What's it like in there? And she tells me, it's just a normal swimming pool. Four of us have to swim in it at the same time in case there are any accidents.
There's a squash court in there as well. And immediately gets drowned out by like hordes of other people on the tour asking her questions about the rose garden and marmalade plants. And that's the only information I get from her.
I don't have any like decoder ring to interpret these words. These are just the precious few words that I gleaned from this like wealth of information before she was cut off from me forever. Okay. So what we had here was like, I mean, as you said, the mission was to bring the swimming pool, like one more moat into the light of public view. I feel like we'd done that.
And so I talked to Shruthi and we were like, yeah, I think we have enough to answer the question. Like we know enough to answer Chris's specific question. It's just a normal swimming pool, like not some fancy marble swimming pool. But at this point, we still didn't know why it was a secret.
So I went back to LinkedIn. Okay. And this time, instead of just searching for the keywords Buckingham Palace and swimming pool, I searched for the keywords Buckingham Palace and podcast. What? And it turns out there's one former employee of Buckingham Palace who also has a podcast.
Of course, the suspect we were looking for the whole time was another podcaster. The worst kind of criminal there is. So we're going to talk to him tomorrow.
