Oh, say, can you see. By the door. Should I start? I have no idea what the fucking national Anthem is, is that nationally. I have no idea what it is. I don't know the rest of the way. What a good permanent resident you are. Yeah. I didn't say I don't need to know shit. Hello everyone. Hello. back back, back again, some more bullshit. I have Celsius, coursing through my veins. Thank God. And here we are to discuss something that is truly at the heart of the, both of us. If you could already tell I'm from the UK. Yes. I am from the United States of America. I don't think so. You're Canadian though. I think it's so funny. That's embarrassing for me. We used to live in Canada. We were there for four years. I love Canada. So, now we live here in San Francisco in mock country. Awesome. strange things I have found since moving to this country that I think all. Foul. huh. That's very pointed towards me. And there are some things about your country that I don't like either. So we're going to fight about it. Today death. Oh, also if you didn't know something really fun. Then when we first started our Tik TOK, Korea, we, uh, talk like a boomer. Really? It takes off. Tick tock. Yeah. It's for the bed. For the day, my current bit. Which is delusional and a little bit deranged. That's your current. Yeah. Just cause it's the Southeast. I just had normally let it like sit for a second before I like start speaking or start doing summer down in your stomach. All of a sudden it's just like, ah, the keys are flying the keys offline. So. Basically, The year was 2020. We did a series on tick, talk about British words versus American words or slang, or like different sayings. And that was how we got our star on Tik TOK. So without further ado, let the second great British American war begin. Let's take in. Okay. But what does good? Well, you've not really lived in the UK, so I have perceptions of the UK. No, I have not lived in the UK, but we lived there for like three months. Last the other year, two years. Yeah. But like I've been in the UK often enough to have gathered from both the internet and physically things. Number one. The biggest, not the biggest stick. But the big, the one that comes to my mind. Is that you have an island called the isle of man. Why is that if you have an aisle. Island. A. This piece of land. Dedicated to men. And that's an. For me. That's disgusting. Well, I mean, there isn't like an overpopulation of men on the island. However, did you know that the isle of man has a special breed of cats that don't have tails? Oh, you've told me. That's so weird. I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know. Why did someone cut off their tails? No, because if they cut them off, then why would they all be breeding and have no tails? Because that's just not how it works. Evolution just said you don't need tales anymore. I don't know the details. I don't want to look this up. I don't know the details of, the, the tailless cat. But it's horrifying. Okay. To say the least, but also I feel like. Tell these for like balance. So I don't know the fuck they're imbalanced cats, but regardless you have an island named after a man. After men after men general, who are dial off, man. I've man. Yeah, horrible. Did you decide whether or not you love or hate man? Sometimes you love men. Sometimes you hate them. Yeah. Hey. Okay. Layli unless they're hot. This is going to be hideous. I'm so excited for yours. Because you have experienced in this country, you have two years of experience under your belt. yeah, but I feel like, I feel like more will come. I just quickly like wrote this list of like garbage. Yeah. The things that like off the, off the top of my head immediately first moving to the country two years ago. Really pissed me off is Fahrenheit. First of all, I'm like, what the fuck do you mean? It's 52 degrees. What the fuck are you on about? That's crazy. Do you know that the United States of America and one of the country? I can't remember the name of it. Not that can't remember the name of that specific country, but the United States and one other country. Yeah. I don't fucking know what the country is. Yeah. I was the only two countries that use Fahrenheit. Yeah. Get what the fucking program. It makes sense. It doesn't make sense. I have told you how it makes sense. I know. I know it's not, it doesn't make sense. Celsius doesn't make sense. You could say. doesn't make sense. It makes sense. Scientifically. But not really when you're out and about 20 degrees. I know it is because I live in Canada and Germany. I understand how a Celsius works. it doesn't make sense. Like it's 20 degrees and it's hot. but when you have Fahrenheit, you think of it on a scale of zero to 100? Zero to 100%. zero degrees, it's so cold. It's crazy cold. It's the 0% cold. When you have 32%, it's on the threshold of cold. It's 32 degrees. That's the point of freezing. And then you have 50%, 60%. That's like, you know, it's getting out there hot, you have a hundred percent, a hundred degrees in board. At the end of the day, you have just been talking so much shit for the last two minutes. I don't know what the fuck you just said. It was dumb and it was meaningless. That makes sense ever. Actually turn this podcast off right now. Give me the mic. Give me your mind. This is a solo project. I will be continuing by myself. Shut up. You know, it makes. Quite enough and you need to integrate into the known. The thing is I won't, you should. I won't get out. Fucking guy and take, talk to you the day. I know every single fucking five seconds I might. Tick tock, tick tock. But it was a guy complaining about his wife, who he married she's from the Philippines has become Americanized because she divorced him while she was filing for divorce or something. And he was like, trying to figure out what other country you can go to, to find a wife because he hates American women. Right. And I think he just hates women. Great. What was I going with that? I love the man. I shouldn't like, yeah. Men sock, stop telling me what to do. no, I will not conform to your bullshit. Imperial system. It's fine. Although miles. Lbs. Do you make a lot more sense than stone we'll get there? That was another one. How dare you. So stones. Let's talk about them boulders. Pebbles. Why do you measure? And I don't know. Why are you measuring in rocks? It doesn't make sense to Stonehenge. I don't know. I really don't know. It doesn't make sense. How many stones are you like three. No. Like seven, 12. That's heavy. I didn't know, but I don't know how it's, I don't know how, they measure it. Cause it doesn't, it doesn't relate to a kilogram or a pound in any way. maybe, maybe because you have pound as the pound, as the money. Maybe it'd be confusing if it was like pounds weight and like pounds of money. So they had to come up with something else. So they picked a rock. But I feel like kilograms, kilograms is like widely accepted in the UK. Howden's Europe. Stones is just a very British thing. It feels like, I don't know why. And I was young. I was like, oh my God, I'm nine stone. That's crazy. This is stupid. I know, but I don't know what that means, but like now you're asking me, what'd you like, what'd you like change? If you changed, wait a little bit, would you be like 9.1 stone? It's 0.9 0.125. I'm looking to see how much I am in stone. I have 12.5 stone. Oh my God. Point five. So if he picked up like 12 stones outside, like how bigger the stones. I really don't know. I'm very confused. I want to know the origins of this and the Taylor's cats. Oh, it says, okay. A stone is equal to 14 pounds. Okay. One stone equals 14, but where did was the origin? Could. I don't it's too much. We can research everything, research the topics and have like a research episode. Research that come back. I wrote a thesis. On everything discussed. I would love that. Yeah. That gives me the egg. Because what you're going to tell me your 14 stone. That's so stupid. It's dumb. No, I know. I know. I can agree with you. I can agree with you on many things too. This is. We're either at war or in agreeance. So shots were fired at the beginning and now we've, we've come back to the table. That's nice. Let's see if we go away. Oh, a hundred percent. I'm going. We're going to be the shaft. Okay. I moved, Hey, the end of 2022. but obviously I've been to the states like a couple of times before that one thing that really pisses me grinds my fucking gays. Why are we living in the 21st century? I'm paying for something, our restaurant. You're taking my card away. Yeah. Why is it going? Why is it going to the side quest? Why is my, why is my MasterCard's going on a side quest? Why is my American express? That I have earned. That's dangerous from living in this country. Why is my American express doing a little toodaloo to the bottom off. And, and being swiped without my visual guidance And also chaperoning it to. The space that it needs to be. And it's, it's a dangerous game it's being swiped without your knowledge. it freaks me out a little bit. That's really dumb. It's actually really dumb as someone who's also lived in other countries, like. Can I just stop? Can you go? Get the fuck out of, I think also, also you're bringing me the receipt. And I have to do math. Oh, yeah, But his hips done. It's done and then sign. With a pen, a pen, like you have to pull out your little calculator. How often do you use a pen? What do you mean? We'll use a pen to write this list down cause he phones over that. Oh, I had to, I had to search through our fucking drawer to find a pen. Exactly. And I'm here. I am at the, at the restaurant. Writing. Right with my hands. That's wild. It is crazy work. I'm here using pen and paper. Okay. And something like that as weird. And we need to advance. As a society. Cause bring me the machine. Bring me a machine. Right. You know, most of America doesn't have tap. Right. I know that's fucking wild. No. When we came, when we first came here, we drove through Mechanicsburg, Ohio. And we went to a pizza shop and that was the first time that was your first experience, like using a receipts spot. Cause I was like, she handed me the receipt and I was like, and it was, it was. It was a took go order. Yeah. Which should be quick. Fast paced, transactional experience for both parties included. Why the fuck am I stood there with people around me pulling my phone out because I can't calculate the tip in my head. No. Why would you know, why the fuck would I. How would I know 20% of 50, 180 to none. And So, sorry, Mechanicsburg. Sorry. You know what? No. Well, nothing happened in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Nothing happens in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Why the fuck was I in Mechanicsburg, Ohio? That's an epic, but connects. Oh, fuck. What we doing in Mechanicsburg, Ohio driving through. The fuck was wrong with us. We, we looked at the map and said, Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Perfect. Let's do that. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, where else are you going in Ohio? Cleveland. What other places are there in Cleveland? I don't want to talk about what Heidi. If one of us mentioned Ohio, Ohio, isn't. Sorry. I mean, it's an enormous market. So many people that like are in our like close friend group though from Ohio. It's choice for sure. To be from Ohio. I mean it wasn't their choice. No, but it was a choice. Move on. I don't want to talk about. Ever again. Okay. And it that I believe many people on the internet will relate to from seeing British influencers and British people generally. Um, and their skin tone. I'm only talking about white. I've only talked about white British people for this. I was like, hope. I was like, Hmm. Rain and rain and no, I'm only talking about white British people. Exactly. bronzer. B R O N Z E R too much of it. The bronzer industry. The boron. Okay. Whatever the fake tan, bronze or industry is thriving in the UK. Yeah. Why don't they just be their color. Because you'd see these like Tik TOK influencers, and they're doing like a fucking makeup routine. And then they're doing their face and their face and you can see their hand and their fake tan is so orange. It's worse than Donald Trump. Donald Trump would die for this spray tab. It is. And then their skin. Spray, do you think it's spray it's fucking ton a ton into cam. At a candle, whatever. Is that nice, nice spray tan. Is that on the same page? No, it's literally squeezed. So I used to go around to my friends house. on a Friday night after college and we would get ready and she'd be like, can you tell me back? Cause she couldn't reach and I'd put the little greasy little Mitt on and then squeeze a little juices out the squeezy tube. And then it would be like it was like mahogany. Right. And then I'd like, you know, some mother on her back just as she could have a nice tan back and shoulders for the night out. And you know what? Just look slow. Let's. She looked like she'd just been in tenor reef. There's a difference between a good tan and orange tan. I'm seeing too many orange tans. Yes, it was good. That was a difference. I'm seeing a lot of orange, you know, what you see when you see like, people didn't get ready. Get get ready with me's. That was hard to say, get ready with me's. Yeah. As like an activity as I can, as like an activity. Correct? Correct. When you see not, I get ready with me when you see, get ready with me's. You know what I mean, as plural as a plural of that, like category of content on the internet. And the face starts off like a sheet of a sheet. Of paper. Pink paper. No they're pink. It's not ghostly. It's pink. But then the neck is always brown cause. The body fake tan on them. They have to match their face. That neck and they use the darkest foundation. Ever easy for brown people. This foundation is the one that you would use. Yeah. Yeah. It's I know. It's so much conceived and like the widest concealer on, and then so much blush and oh. Wow. So you hate women. I hate. Hey women, I hate. Do you know what. Some pay, whatever that is. I think that you, have valid points. Thank. And I respect that. Thank you. And I am in flight agreeance. It's just pop culture. What can I say? Oh lashes. Oh my God. I've seen some metrics. Oh, the lashes are so big. They're like caterpillars while I know. So it's too many. There's too many. It's so crazy. If you didn't know I'm from Manchester. In the United Kingdom. Humble. Ah, she's not a humble. It's the third biggest thing. Humble thriving. It's actually battling for second biggest. Wow. But with Birmingham. No one knows about that one. It's the second biggest city in the country. If you asked anyone with the second biggest city in the UK as no one would know it's Berlin. They would say Manchester. I don't think many people. Edinburgh Americans would say Edinburgh. Cause that's. They only know England. I know Americans only know London, Edinburgh. That's so true. Or do people, do you think people know the capital of Wales? No. No. Oh, wait. Yeah, probably do it. Just do it. Cardiff. Yes. Good job. Got it. Good job. Well done. I went to school. Yeah, good job.'cause I for learning. Um, huh. Sometimes we deviate so far away from a topic. I'm like, what the fuck are we talking about? And that is what a dinner tomboy tape, what, and that is what. as a word. And that's what a dinner table conversation is about. You never know where it's going to go. Oh yeah. That's what I was on about Manchester. Yeah, that's. I wasn't born there. I was actually born in Wales. But the year was 19. It was 1992. Do you know what I'm going to do that from now on. I didn't give a fuck the year was I'm gonna do that. Every single episode, I'm going to sneak it in. The Goodyear was 1990 fucking two. I was born in Bangor Wales. Which makes me a Gemini Gemini Libra. And then you made your way to manage. Oh, I was in Scotland for seven years. Oh, yeah. And then I moved to Manchester. Yeah. And then I went to uni in Liverpool. And the thing about Liverpool is. And you can go out on a Friday, Saturday night. But if you're out and about in the city shopping during the day, just during the day, just like grabbing the things that you need for the day, or I'm walking home from uni on a Friday and it's like 3:00 PM. You will see. Women. Out on the streets, in public with rollers in their hair. No makeup done yet. Because, you know, they're just going about the day, the way you for the. I had to set. In pajamas. Pink skin out. Eye lashes. Fluttering around. And it's sight to behold. I love it. I think it's magical. It's an it for. That's all that is in it. For me, that is on the list of it. Hate women. Got it. Got it. I started this man. This ISR is episode hating men. I hate everyone equally. So. Would you rather not have your day at home rest beyond the couch, have your curlers in getting ready, having your billion eyelashes in. But Caterpillar's just crawling around on your face. Just hang out at your home door dash, some food, have your girls over, chill out, drink a little, and then go out when you're ready, rather than being out in your curlers. Americans do walk around to their people. I was just going to say. I was just going to say as a wonderful segue. Um, so, you know, the first time I ever sold the word segway written on, like on the screen, I say screen, cause why am I reading a piece of paper? The first time I ever saw the word segue, I was like, Siggy. It's like, what is this? What's this. I never knew how to spell segway. Do you notice about segway? E S E G U E S E G U E. Segui no. Is that not correct. No, no, no. Alexa. Uh, how do you spell segway? So, Fucking pajamas, the pajama epidemic let's discuss. At great length. I that's also my, yet that's. It's also crazy. Hands on this one. I feel like we're uniting more than we are at war here. I like, ah, peace. I'm afraid. Now this is what marriage is all about. Peace in between the wall. when. I was young. I used to watch American TV shows and movies and be like, it's so cool that people can go to school. Kids can go to school in like, whatever clothes they want. That's so fun. Being able to like express yourself and like, wow, like cool clothes. You know that that would be so fun because you have to wear uniforms. That's where a uniform until I was 16 years old, we. Do uniforms. I'm going to a private school, a statuary fucking uniform until there was 18. 13 years old. And you rang a uniformed school. Yeah. Mine was Navy blue. It was Navy blue. Are you accessorized? Oh, Dows. Raging homosexual. they allowed like a, scarf or two. To be born. So, you know, And I bet those scarfs were no. No, they were not cool. Like I had, like at one point I was like a collection of like 14 scarves and I was like, it's not cold. It's not cold. Scarves. Oh, wow. Somebody would even steal from a mum's little closet. I still some of my mum's scarves, like a little dainty ones that she would like where as a hijab. I'm going to steal this, hide it in my school bag. I could go to school and then wrap it around my little neck. Like A little Ascot and be like, wow, I'm so cool. Accessorize expressing yourself at school. I see these fucking little. Fucking little old dweebs going to school in that pajamas, not just going to school. Going to target. I see. I mean, mostly kids that do it. Like the kids will go to school. In that, in that pajamas. Kids wild. Like high school is university. I don't know. People just look, young people look too young these days. People look too young these days. I agree. I agree. And they're wearing their ring striped pajamas. Or like, I've seen like, I've seen that cookie monster. there was a girl at the old gym that we used to go to. You know, she used to buy those like, fuck. the gymnasium horrible. Like 7:00 AM she hates? Hey, she's here. She's here. Pussy ball pin at the gym in a cab pajamas, and then not regular pajamas. They're fleeced. So they thick. Yeah. It looks like she has gotten out like rolled. She looks hungover. Yeah, she looks like she's rolled out of bed. Rolled down the street rolled into the gym, scanned her barcode. Roll to the change. Grim. A bag away for no reason. Cause she, she didn't change. And then rolled on over to a bench, doing some squats in some care bear, a fleecy pajamas. Crazy work pajamas pajamas pajamas is what I would say. Dramas. You. Pajamas. I'd say pajamas, not pajamas. No, you're getting that from me. No. It's my influence. I would say pajamas. You're exactly the jammer. You would say pajama. You're from North Carolina pajama. No, we'd say Pete. No, he wouldn't say BJ. We say pajama. The word pajama is a Salesian word. It's like a Hindi word. Wow. That's where it originates from. It just means pants. Oh yeah. Any kind of pant. It just means pallets. Yeah. Pajamas pajamas. The pajama epidemic, American pajamas. Wear pants. it's an ethic, but it's also something I want to try. When it's an egg, when it's an egg, when. All the sympathy is just an ethic. Oh, it just came into my head. I was like, why are you saying our new themes on? Yes, it's an eight. I was like, we should do like positives and negatives of the countries of other people, of the, of the. Of the opposite person's country. Sometimes my tongue is too big for my mouth and that's a lobbying. The fucking yeah. literally. The spirit of your thought, leaving your eyeball. Yeah. Actually I was looking out the window. Your eyes glaze over. Billowing. And I was like, it's really like lovely treat. It's like the way that the sun is like, It looks really nice. Theme that was going to say literally. Fell out. I was like, should we do a positive list and a negative list? Like, let's talk about like things we love and things. Yay about like the countries. and Matt sad. Fuck. No. Everyone loves to hate. So I have some nice things. This is a podcast of a lightening round. It's a nice thing. I have a lightening round of nice things at the end. Oh, I could do that too. Okay. The top of my head. Oh, that's nice. Very short. Yeah, the bulk is negative because we live to hold hatred and, and just violence. Totally close to. It's funnier. Positivity. Isn't funny. Positive positivity is out, and this is a comedy podcast. Or her comedians apparently Hardy, har har I have many things to say. And I feel like this falls on to a very specific American demographic. The use of cutlery. I think. We should use the tools at our disposal. If we are eating a dinner. we require the assistance and aid of shop. Tool. But instead of reaching for a knife, we turn the fork to its side. And then cut. Just so we don't have to just so we don't have to use like a big baby, like you need like a, like a S. no. what's a mixer between a Falcon, a knife. Is there a tool that exists like that? a cork. fire knife. Knife. Yeah. And I think that is crazy behavior actually. Great invention. Has that, has that been invented? I didn't know. I love that. I'm talking about you. Joe Hema you. Being Bob Barrick and turning your fork to its side and like fucking digging in trying to shovel whatever you're trying to cut. Like a piece of meat. It's not a piece of meat. It's not my fault. Give you a steak knife at the restaurant, but you're like, I'm going to turn my doctorate side lists. Uh, cut this brisket. I'm like, I'm like truly, truly use all the fullest. Do that all the time. I don't do that all the time. But do you remember when we were in Austin, Texas, and we went to that barbecue place and I was like, please, can you go get some cutlery? I don't know where it is. And you came back with two forks and it was like, there was so much meat on this plate. Can you please go back and get some knives, which was the most tender meat ever, and turns out you didn't even need your knife. Cause sometimes you don't need a knife. It's nice when. It was a knife when I was an I can't, change that. I was born in North Carolina as a good old Southern boy. Um, say pajamas pajamas. Why do you say farm like that on a farm, a fall? That's the, how you speak on a farm. It used to have such a great accent when we met. I know, you know, I really do happen. and I was born with one fork in my hand. No knife. Okay. And you make. Moving on. Oh, no, like this one is actually neck. No, I feel like I would like it to, It's beans on toast. That takes me out. I fucking hate that. I feel like I would like it though. You would like it because it's just toast butter, I assume. And. Looking like beige food you grew up in North Carolina. All you ate was I can also knock it. The thing is yours are very point. Okay. oh, mine. Wasn't mine. It was literally an attack. Just personally on you. Beans on toast. I hate that's going to ruffle some feathers back home. I don't really get it. I feel like I could like it. for example, if I think I've had beans on toast now I have never put a can of Heinz beans on toast. We went to my mom's house in April for my brother's wedding. I feel like she'll kill me. If she sees me putting beans on toast, my mum. Some will not allow that. Yeah, I know. We have decorum where we come from. Do you warm the beans up? You can, you can. You can too. You can just open a can of beans and just pour it on. What people do. I don't know what people do because I don't have it. Have you ever had it, have had it? Yeah, I've had it. I've had it more. How have your. Jacket potato. Okay. That I can get fucking behind. Yeah. Jacket potato. full of, it's just a big potato bake sale, but it's bigger. No. So it's a big sale. It's a big potato. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good potato. Like smashed. Well, you like cross it. Yeah. You create the cross. Crucifixion. Yeah. And then you bake it, tinfoil all over it. Yeah, they care. Yeah. And then when you open it, it's like all like in the new. Misha out and I've seen the, to kind of like opens up on the, you like, and then you fill it with. Slather butter on it. I think actually British people eat more butter. Than Americans. Maybe we have more cows. I don't know. On the isle of man. I don't think the hell of mine has cows. Just Taylor's cats and apparently too many men. Too many men on the island, man, fix it. Fix it. Well beans on toast out. Do you know what we need to fix? What. Do you know what we need to fix? What. Why the fuck. Are we living here? And I get so confused by the date all the time. Come on. So annoying. No. I'm not over it. It's been two years over. I'm not over yet because also it's so confusing. It's not, it's so confusing. Not it, the debt. What is the date? January 5th. When you say out loud. Fine. When you write it down one 15. Okay. That sounds, that sounds fine. It literally makes sense because you're saying January 15th, 20, 25, but. 1 15 1 5. 2025. I'm like, oh, it's the 1st of May. No. It's the festival because it supposed to go day, month, year. Cause it's going smallest to biggest, but then it goes month, day, year. That's crazy. Okay. We're fighting back and forth because here's something else. Your calendar, you have a calendar that starts on Monday, which is this all the week at the beginning of the, like the, the, the, the first thing that you see is a Monday. Then it goes to Sunday. No Sunday goes first and then it goes to Saturday and then Sunday. No. Yes. Why Sunday, the start of the week. It makes sense. That's crazy. Jesus. It looks Jesus' fault. Thank God. I like it. I fucking hate it. I'm Christian. No. You're not. No, you are not. Down to sleep. Do you know what I saying? I've had enough of you. Do you know what I'm saying is I miss so much wind your neck in, I sometimes mind your neck then. Living in the UK. I mean, living in the U S is that I can't say some of the things he used to say, growing up, what does that. Mind you not kin. What does that mean? And your neck. And would you watch her mouth? Yeah. Yeah. Wind your neck in your being too like this. And you need to be more like this wind, your. You're being too like, Sit down. Are you barking on this podcast now? Yes, I bark. the one that I liked the most is spanner in the works. It's been in the works. There's a spanner in the works. I don't know that I love that. That's a particularly like. Which means. A wrench in the. Production line. It was a mess. Okay. I think it was like a nest quick add. cocoa puffs or some bullshit? or like the, oh no, I think it was a, you know, the, the, the, there were like smaller, like balls of like chocolate and you just pour milk in them. That is that. That's a cocoa puffs, cocoa buff. Just set that. No, wait. No, no, no. Wait. The no, not that that's quick. It was an S you had an escort serial. I don't think we had an S quick serial then. Exactly. It was an escort serial. Yeah. And there was a bunch of animals that were the, Mascots the fucking. The theme of the fucking cereal with the mascots the cereal. Tony the tiger. Oh, yeah, it's not unprecedented to have that. I can't remember what the animals were, but I'm sure there was like a fucking EMU or an ostrich or something. And You know, they'd have different advertisements for different, Types of cereal or just different times of the year. They'd have a different one. the production lines going. And everyone's like, so happy that their next quick Cyril is like going, but then the crocodile was the villain. And then the EAM, you notice this and he's like, oh no, this is bad. Or in the works. And I always remembered that. And you know what, and I've always said that I was like, where is the EMU coming in? The story or maybe it was a coyote. I don't know, but these animals and they're all so stressed out about the fact that the crocodile had put a spanner in the production line to stop the nest quick from being made because he wanted the nest quick to stop being manufactured and distributed to the general public. Yeah. And that was a really traumatic time as a child. When I saw that I was like, this crocodile is a piece of shit. I want my next quick, got done it. It's crocodiles, fucking it up for everyone. Why the fuck do we have the wicked soundtrack up here? Because. so if you didn't know, if you're listening to this podcast on audio only change our vinyls out every single episode, because we also are on YouTube watches on YouTube. today's is wicked because it is a story of a British icon and an American icon coming together and being best friends. Just like us. question neither in the British. So the idea is literally. The British, oh, I forgot an Ari. He is literally. I was like neither of the American or British. I was like, Either American or parole. No, I don't know. I was just talking about. Come on, watch the movie and then I forgot about it. All right. Well that's why. Okay. Oh, yeah. Wait. I know, that's why I picked it. I said it before. I know it was like, what the fuck? I literally picked the wicked sound up because it's literally the story of our life. I feel like personality wise, you would be Elphaba Glinda. Really? Yeah. Oh yeah. No No for sure. For sure. For sure. I'm the golden retriever. And you're the black cat. Yeah. And the black cat is alphabet. And then Glen does the golden retriever. That's my tagline. we're going to get political. I'm going to get political with us. We can get political, You decided in the old, old time of the 1980s. To have your first female prime minister. You had your first. You had the first woman prime minister, such a big accomplishment. We haven't even got there. We just, we just missed out on hours and you chose Margaret Thatcher and may she be. Just enjoying the warmth of where she is right now. It's fucking boiling down there. Do you chose Margaret Thatcher as your first female prime minister. and then you chose two more. And they were both crazy. And what was the first one? Same series. Theresa May. And then the other one who lives. Trust Liz trust who the lettuce out, outlasted her. Remember that the less. So there was a, when those trusts became prime minister, there was a thing on X, whatever, whatever they, it was a pick, there was a livestream of a lettuce. Well, the head of lettuce. Like 10 days. And they were like, this head of lettuce is going to last longer than Liz trust. And it did. So that's my EQ is that you've had three female prime ministers, three, so many options for really great ones. And also your, a men prime ministers have been pretty shut to, yeah, I will say like most of your prime ministers actually, I feel like have not been great. but the female ones. Let's dive into American politics. This place is a fucking. Just a fucking shitstorm of shit. Isn't it. So I'm the shit. We're filming this episode on January seven. Yesterday marked four years since an insole reaction. Yeah. I think that is one of the most insane things. Kind of crazy. Isn't it? In modern history, one of the most wild. Things I have witnessed on live television, watching that old lady climb and then full off of that off. One click. I'm the man is like trying to get her and then she's like climbing on the wall and she falls. Oh, I take. Oh, my tray yesterday. I I thought you were talking about MIMO. No, I love her. I love MIMO MI mama. She's like, I'm just happy to be here. I'm a fly with her American flag. At my flag and I'm starting to be here. Do you know who she reminds me of the grandma from carves, the cowardly dog. She was running me off creepy little fucking mouth. Yeah, creepy smile. Yeah. Really freaked me out. I could sit here. And divulge all my inner hatred for the country's political system. What the fuck is the electoral college. I know now, cause you know, I've been, I've been known. I've been known. It's crazy. I did think it was a physical place growing up. Like we would watch videos of like how the elections worked and it showed a physical place. Of the electoral college. And I was like, it's definitely. There's a, there's a university somewhere. Shit's universities. all they do. They don't wait for every four years. Sleep for four years. And then all of a sudden they're like Nosferatu for four years. They come out. And then they starting to evolve. Vote for Trump or call by law. Ty is sad. I will say the only thing that brings our two countries together. As the fact that both of our politics are entertaining. It's kind of sad actually. I have been unentertained for the last four years. I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed it. No power politics. Yeah. Bite on entertaining. Yeah. You know, let the, let the, let. The works and the gears spin as they were at the production line continuum. spanner. Yeah. It's not the production line. Just like just flow. Let me not have to think too much, you know, let me not have to worry. Wait, I have got some more, I've got one more. I can do two quick fire round. Let's. And we just got really heavy with politics for a second, and I really could lighten it back up. I could really. Uh, gaps in between your toilet stalls are too high. Oh. Oh, God, if you're in the airport, do you. I mean, I agree. The first, experience you have when you come into the country, you go to the bathroom. And then you're faced with these metal, metal walls. Yeah. Which. It's jarring. It feels like a cage. Walls the walls. Of the toilet stalls are so high. Why can I see your ankles? Why can I catch a glimpse of you Nakey in that? Guy's crazy. It's a little glimpse. A little too much skin. I'm seeing too much skin as I walked by the store. That's freaky. It is a bit freaky behavior. Another area of the UK is. I feel like we've progressed more than you on this, on this stance, but the skinny jeans epidemic. It's still has still taken the UK by storm. And the UK is still dealing with that. Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there. When it comes except for London. No. I've had it with you. How fucking dare you sit here and your high horse. From which you should not be. To talk to me. my country about fashion when we are. The. Epicenter. Of culture. And. So you're talking about London. No, I've been to Manchester. Yeah. Fashion-wise no I'm talking about skinny jeans. There are too many skinny jeans lists. Literally we live in the most unfashionable city in the country. I didn't say we did. How many people in this country? White, skinny jeans. I didn't say we didn't have a problem with it. I said, do you have a problem with it? And it's true. Oh, you were talking about two years ago when you were then everyone, everyone was wearing skinny jeans still, maybe. Yeah. and this teaches us to sometimes keep, Wretched thoughts to ourselves. Don't insult my country like that again. The whole point of this episode is to share our opinions. Right. Right. He's so skinny jeans generally bad, no matter where you are in the world. I hate skinny jeans. We've all been there. We've all done that I was spray on for awhile. I sprayed on those genes onto my legs. No, it doesn't look good on anyone. Sorry. I have so many things I hate about the country. But also so many things. It's time to be nice. I love meal deals. Tesco meal deals. Great. MNS in general. M and S is everything to me. Those little, like pre-packaged like chicken nuggets. Oh, yeah, that's so good. Incredible. It was so good. Great inventions. I also love Sunday roasts because you get to have Thanksgiving every Sunday, basically. Incredible. What a great concept. That is great. Oh, Those five Welsh influencers. I loved them. Five or six. I don't know how many there are. I think there's five main ones. Okay. I only like five of them. I don't. There are others. I don't like them. I love them. They are national treasures. They really are put them up there with the Dell. And you know what I agree. Yeah. I agree. Nando's. Oh, love Nando's. That is nothing better in this world than the cheeky Nandos, cheeky. I also love the word cheeky. There I have so many nice things. There are so many things I miss. I miss being able to just like say certain things on few people to just get it, you know? I mean, you people know for people, you said you people. Now, what do you like about the United States of America? Okay. And no matter how much I shit on. The cuisine, because it is all very, like, it is all very like, Sports bar food Sportsbar cuisine. There's just because mostly that's all you take me to whenever we go and like try new American places because we just go to fast food restaurants. I love Chili's. I love Chili's. Yeah. 11 an hour. Shake shack. I love taco bell, raising canes. I love raising canes. Come on. I love raising canes, Texas Roadhouse. I would fucking die for Texas Roadhouse. we should go back to Texas Roadhouse for sure. We should have Texas Roadhouse for sure. I would. I would. I. You love American fast food. It's phenomenal. Yeah, everyone does. Gargantuan beyond compact. And unnecessary sometimes. Most of the time. But better than you like UK fastfood. It's just, I mean, like, it doesn't need to be. Like McDonald's and burger people come here. People come here for the paycheck. Yeah, I know. And get it and they will, it's called high cholesterol. Yes. And, What else do you like? Uh, nature. Looking at the tree outside still. I love that. Well, growing up in the UK, I feel like, you know, I have Manchester. We had like the peak district. Oh, you know, That nature that, but like, yo semi. Like these national parks, there's just like, they're iconic. They are iconic. They're big. They're big, big. And that's what I love. I love that they, everything is because I don't like the big trucks. I don't want that. That's scary. That's scary. She's scary. Right. Like you can't sleep. I'm like five 10, like you should be able to see me. And sometimes they can't see me because it was so smooth. I'm so tiny. And I think that's crazy. Because it needs to be that big, but everything is gigantic. And I really do like that. I'm not gonna lie. Great. You love the size and the food. And the food and I love the food and the five Welsh influencers. Yeah. we really dug into that. Didn't wait. Oh, my God. Tired. That was crazy, actually, that we were filming for five minutes and it turned out to be an hour. Wars take a while. Th th the Trojan war. We can talk about that for a second. I was once reading the, the. The song of the case. Once upon a time. Are we talking about the Trojan? Song of Achilles. For the first time. And it was like, this is such a great book. Look at these two little gays. Look at these two little gay boys having the best time of their life and all of a sudden this war. It lasted. Decades. I was reading this book and the page after page after page was just war upon war. And it was the same war. Nothing happened. For ages, was there annoying? Not like this podcast. And you know what? I'm a little annoyed at you to be honest. Oh, you're fine. To be honest with you. You'll be fine. We have reached the point of the episode where we love to play a little game. A dinner table game. today's game two truths and a lie, two truths and one lie. You go first, me first. Minor kind of lame because I'm not good at lying. I'm not a good liar. So two truths and one lie. One truth. All the truth. All of them are true. You're an idiot. So dumb. What the fuck was that? So the first truth. We'll be the whole point of the game. Cause you're supposed to tell me. Three things. And I'm supposed to guess which one is the lie? You thought king DeMoss. Fuck is wrong with you. You're supposed to tell me. So we statements and they're supposed to be anonymous. You're not supposed to tell me which one. You fucking. Fuck. So I played piano in high school. I had 10 cats growing up and I auditioned for American idol when I was in school. You. Did not have 10 cats growing up. I did have 10, 10. It's an estimate, but it was a lot. That was 10, 10, 10 plus actually. Oh, my God. So why do they all live? So Ross around, they mostly died because they ran into it in the road. So we just stray cats that you parent, your parents took it. And it was the same cat that had multiple litters. Cause it wasn't like a cat that we got fixed. Oh, I thought you just had like 10 unrelated. No 10 plus cats. So what was my play? The piano. No. A company that didn't get that right. I know. Well, it's like, you couldn't have had 10 cats. That's crazy. Even after eight years, there's still more to know in my mind, I was like, this is so hard to do because. I I, every single thought that ever pops into my head, whether it's that tree looking glistening outside, or I don't know what else, if I had randomly burst out in. There's lots of myths. Fucking spam Trojan war. The Trojan war. Every thought that goes through my brain flies out my mouth. And to hear it until eight drums. Yeah. Whether you like it or not. I've never had any stitches or broken a bone. Mm. I had a pet rabbit. I named photosynthesis when I was eight. That's funny. Photosynthesis honey for short. That's cute. I've been to a monastery. Thailand. So it's two truths and one lie. So one is wrong. yes, well done. Stitches or bone. It's a lie. I feel like you've had stitches before. I don't know. That's. Stitches. You've never had stitches. I knew you'd never broken a bone. I've never broken a bone. Stitches. Siri new that had never broken a bone. So if you knew I'd never broken a bone, obviously those two are in the same. You can not break a bone and still get stitches. Oh, you're right. Hello. Yeah, no, no. I said I've never broken about all had stitches. One statement. One one truth now. Um, established, I don't know how to play this game. Yeah. Clearly monastery. You had a rabbit? I had a rabbit. Yeah. Yeah, the monastery is a lie. Yeah. I knew how to run. Cause I was like, how intently they do. Listen, I, me and my friends when we were in Thailand. Like. Motorbiked up to the monastery. You. I didn't get into the off way because yeah. And then, yeah, we didn't get it. Didn't get in. Yeah again, Let me until I want to start, you know, look at you. You need to use your passport to get in. Hello. It was a good place that they like, you know, you could go and like spend a couple days and like do like a valve. I think a silence, people didn't speak. You would not be doing that. I know. I know at the time I was like, what was 22? I was like, this would be such a cool thing to do. And you're silent is when you were asleep and then the rain poured down and we were like, we've made it this far. We can keep going under the rain was tote like torrential and we were on motorbikes. And I wasn't. Yes, we should. And we will go up a mountain and I was like, let's call losses before we die. Yeah. And go home. Yeah. So we didn't actually make it to the monastery. So you didn't actually win the game. So. Neither did I, neither did you? No, one's a winner. No, one's. One's a fucking loser. Everyone's alluded to. Perfect. Oh, my God, why don't you write two truths and a lie down and maybe we'll try and guess. And the comments and the comments. I'm coming back. On YouTube on Spotify. Yeah. On Spotify and on YouTube, you can go and type in your truth in your lie. What do you hate about England or America? I'm Erica. I want to know. Or what do you love or what do you love?
