IC juna 80 hämen linnasta kiihdytti asemalta. Asur tuijotti itseään silmiin ja pohti, minne haluaisi asettua. Italian maaseutu tuntui ylempaalttiselta, modernin arkkitehtuurin ankara valkoisuus taas liian kylmältä, Hän päätyi sumuun. Oliko videopalaverin taustan valitseminen aina ollut näin vaikeaa? Me huolehdimme matkasta. Sinä päätät, miten sen käytä. Vejare. Yhteisellä matkalla.
Näin, anna mä ota! Haluan, että sen yksi voit tollaista määrä nostaa penkistä. Mä tiesin, että sä tuut. Miksi meidän kellari näyttää kuntosalilta? No kun ajattelin, teistä tänään sen kuntoilukamat. Nämä kaikki kamat sait varmaan taas tosi halvalla. Itse asiassa!
Itse asiassa Bilteemasta löytyy edulliset välineet hommaa kuin hommaa. Oli kysymys sitten omasta tai kaverin projektista.
Hello. Hello. Welcome to Short Hat, where we're in a race against time because Mabel has the shits. She ate some jalapeno crisps yesterday. So we are we're living on borrowed time. We're living on a prayer.
I do also enjoy that that microphone that we just moved so I could see your face looks like it's down for Mabel. To directly just be like, Excuse me, could you please stop? How do we do the voice thing that Seb showed us? Oh I don't Excuse me. Can you please stop telling everybody about my diarrhea problems? Thank you very much. Hannah. I
wish I'd got a funnier voice.
It was. We've just discovered that the roadcaster we use as the interface to record in our studio, for some reason, in the upgraded version, they've added in voice effects. So I don't know, watch out for more of those. Yeah, I
mean, hours are fun.
Right. Oh, does he actually he doesn't really say anything?
Rasputin doesn't know. He's long dead by by this time. Never mind. But we are kind of revisiting Rasputin and we just recorded a shorthand on rabies and kept talking about bats and all I could think about was Bartok in the Anastasia. Is this the face of a bat who would lie to you? I said ahaya and a kicker so Ha ha ha. Me and my sister used to do all the time work in Stress, it's a killer shirt.
Everyone who just listened to their first ever episode of Shorthand, I'm so sorry you've stopped listening. I promise you there is good
content to come.
When I worked at the Sharpsbury, the producer of Anastasia the Musical came and had a meeting with my boss and he was like, Oh, this is this is Hannah, she's my assistant and she's very upset about the little band because in Anastasia the Musical there's no Bartok and no Rasputin and he's got the best song. Post COVID.
Everyone just Oh, that was pre COVID. Yeah, that was pre COVID. It's no excuse though. I was gonna say, people don't like bats anymore. Except the people who think it didn't come from a bat or whatever. I don't know. I can't keep up with
the nonsense. Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe they were like, ooh, I don't know. I feel like something's gonna happen with bats that's gonna be quite globally
significant. I had a dream about how bats are gonna ruin the Wait, to be fair, it's not the bats. It's the fucking CCP. Anyway.
Let's continue. Right, for this week's episode, we are revisiting something that we covered a few months ago on Full Fat Red Handed. This is the shorthand, so if you want the longhand on Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. I do feel like Rasputin Longhand
is
a
good name for him.
recipe didn't or stick long hand. If you want to listen to the Rasputin story, you can take yourself back to episode 283 of Red Handed to quench all of your wandering holy man needs. I'm going to give you a quick rundown of what we need to know for this episode though. Rasputin, in all of his grubby, lumpy headed glory, was indispensable to the Imperial Russian royal family, the Romanovs, because he was keeping their only son and heir to the Empire alive.
What historical events led to the fall of the Romanovs in 1917?
No one knows how he was doing it, but doing it he was. And that meant that Rasputin had unfettered access to the royal family, including all of their Grand Duchess daughters. And if that's not
a red flag, I don't know what is. This royal family needs some fucking child protection training.
