Someone really left a date because his chicken was in the oven. Not a line. Not a cover story. Actual chicken, actual oven, actual goodbye. That story kicks off a chaotic hang with Lily, a UK TikTok streamer we adore, and it sets the tone for an hour of dating disasters, confidence talk, and culture shocks that somehow end up being weirdly useful.

We get into how Lily turned TikTok live streaming from a laugh into something close to a job, plus why she’s big on fitness and empowering women to feel comfortable in the gym. From there we trade the kind of first-date moments that cause instant “ick,” including the boring pub date you can’t escape, the overdressed “races” that turn out to be a dirt track, and the truly unhinged Christmas dinner invite that comes with meeting someone’s whole family.

Then we go straight into modern dating behavior: the “purple snap” sent to multiple people, the reality of unsolicited explicit pics, and why boundaries matter online and offline. We close with a UK vs US deep dive that hits beer garden culture, beans on toast, confusing food names, and why American alcohol laws change every time you cross a border.

If you laughed, cringed, or felt seen, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the wildest excuse you’ve ever heard someone use to end a date?

I want to bring out the best in people and show people that there is more to life than you know, if you're in a job that you don't really enjoy and you're working a nine to five. There is way more to life than than that, and you can make money in fun ways, and you know, you can enjoy yourself. Um I also like to promote fitness and like empower women to feel comfortable in the gym and train and you know, and not worry like what people think, you know, you don't need to be conscious about what you're wearing or what people think of you. Just do it, you know. If you want to train and work out and keep fit, then do it for you and don't be you know nervous about everyone judging you or what people are gonna say because it's your life and you gotta live it, you know? Yeah, fuck yeah. Let's go, right?

Boom, boom, fire power. What movie was that? Anyhow.

SPEAKER_00

So you like, do you like walk around and like flex the muscles?

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely not. For the love of goddamn.

SPEAKER_00

No. My fit is dressed on a fucking peacock, Jesus. Going on Walmart asking people to feel your mask on.

SPEAKER_04

I got a visible lattice in terms of just walking around. Oh, nope, door's too small. I gotta walk sideways through a fucking garage door. No, it's too small. Yeah, no, I'm definitely not that guy.

SPEAKER_00

I actually laugh at people.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah. No, yeah, okay. True story, true story. One of my closest friends in the world. Bless her. Um, like a first date with this guy, whatever, right? Just like getting coffee, chit-chatting away, so on and so forth. And apparently, at some point, she's in the middle of talking. This gentleman reaches across the table, grabs her hand, puts it on his arm, flexes, and she just goes, um, and he goes, Oh, my bad. I thought you wanted to feel them. Oh that's one of my favorite stories that she's ever told me about her glorious dates that she's had. And she goes, ah, I gotta go. Bye.

SPEAKER_00

It's just what you even do in that situation.

SPEAKER_04

Exactly what she did. That's just other than leave. Beautiful. Yeah, no, that I am not, yeah, no, I am not that guy.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that must have been awkward.

SPEAKER_04

She told me, and I just went, ugh.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the ick. The second hand ick.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Right, you just your stomach kind of does that weird little flip thing. Not like, ooh, look what they're doing over there, kind of flipping. Like, oh god, I think it might actually shit my heart out.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god. Us women have it bad, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, so bad. So bad. For the love of God, yeah. No, if anyone says bothered, they just get fucked, bud.

SPEAKER_01

Just get fucked, mate.

SPEAKER_00

Like I don't have I don't have men ask me to fill their muscles, but one guy left because he left the chicken in the oven. I don't know if he just couldn't cope with me. But he fucking downed his two cocktails after about six minutes and then told me that he left the chicken in the oven.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I thought that was like a I thought that was like a British euphemism for something like that one.

SPEAKER_00

Like no, he left the chicken in the oven and the egg, the eggs were fully frying when he got back to his house. I'm glad he left because I wouldn't want to be with someone go back to my house and I don't have one.

SPEAKER_01

Oh god, that's fucking cool.

SPEAKER_00

Who thinks, oh, let me put some chicken and put some bacon on the chicken with some nice barbecue sauce, you know, sweet potato fries, and then thinks, do you know what? I'm actually gonna go on a date now and just leave the chicken there.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe what he got confused. Listen, maybe he got his peas and his cues mixed up, and he was like, Okay, I'll cook her dinner. Bring her over for dinner. Goes, oh, no, one thing is another, you're having drinks, never mind, I gotta go. So it was supposed to be, maybe it was supposed to be for you.

SPEAKER_00

It was the quickest date I've ever had in my life.

SPEAKER_04

Damn. Just a ripped it.

SPEAKER_00

He literally said to me, My chicken's in the oven, I need to go. We were talking about life goals, and then he told me he had chicken in the oven, and I just my drawer was on the floor. Yeah, a couple of kids might be nice, settled down in the country.

SPEAKER_04

Oh shit, my chicken's in the oven. Bye. Chicken fucking ass.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, even the even the the waiter went, where did he go? And I went, it's chickens in the oven.

SPEAKER_02

Oh do you know what?

SPEAKER_00

This was like a fine dining restaurant as well that has like a bar um for like for cocktails and stuff. It's not normally like your typical date place, it's normally like a restaurant, it's like a restaurant, and you can go for dates, obviously, but you know, it was very weird. I just thought I've wasted my good makeup for a few minutes, and now your chicken's in the oven.

SPEAKER_05

Please tell me you went and danced my ass off after that. I said, please tell me you went and danced your ass off after that.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't because he actually made me hungry with his chicken being in the oven.

SPEAKER_01

Oh god.

SPEAKER_00

I had to go home and order some food.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, the the bartender, the wig didn't even was like, oh damn, I feel bad. Like, just you know, here's some food for you. No?

SPEAKER_00

No, sadly not.

SPEAKER_03

Dickhead.

SPEAKER_00

Sadly not. I know. Do you know what? I was actually gonna sit in the restaurant and then have dinner on my own, but I thought, no, that is also weird, and I'm very embarrassed. I've just been left because someone's chicken's in the oven.

SPEAKER_04

Oh man, you should have played it up. You should have looked like really sad. Even if you didn't, you should have like try to really make yourself like really sad and like really played into it. You definitely could have got some free food or shit out of it.

SPEAKER_00

I was just like, do you know what? It was the weirdest thing. He ordered two cocktails, and like, it was like he'd never seen liquid before. He just damned them straight away. Honestly, I was like, He knew he was gonna run.

SPEAKER_03

He was like, I got that chicken in the oven, man. I got a chicken.

SPEAKER_00

Like, it was so odd, honestly. Like, I was even thought he was gonna eat the ice. I was like, I thought he was gonna start eating the ice because that drink was gone, like it was like a giraffe, like just slept up and banished.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, what was what was the what was the drink?

SPEAKER_00

Uh a mojito.

SPEAKER_04

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Minty fresh.

SPEAKER_03

Two mojitos.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you know what I mean. Now, did he at least pay for them?

SPEAKER_05

Yes. Okay, he didn't stick you with the bill or anything.

SPEAKER_00

No, thank God, thank god. Like, you know, I'm yeah. You do have people that do that though.

SPEAKER_04

I'd have hunt that sucker down, I'd have left right now. I was like, all right, you guys get the podcast and I'd go find that somebody to use the fish.

SPEAKER_00

If anything, he's just given me, I I actually the life lesson. If I need to get out, all I've got to tell them is my chicken's in the oven. Like, you know, it wasn't a great day. Like, you know, I don't even think he took his coat off. Um, it was like we was having um dinner with with drinks with the polar bears. His coat was that big. His coat was that big.

SPEAKER_03

Jesus. This is great.

SPEAKER_00

But I learned that if I don't like someone, all I've got to say is, sorry, mate, but I've got a chicken in the oven.

Crash Viewing A Boring Pub Date

SPEAKER_04

That is, and I've got to go. That is.

SPEAKER_05

We didn't you recently accompany a friend of yours on a date? That story is freaking hilarious.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, I did. I did. So my friend was going on a date, right? And all I can really say about the date is that and about the person that she was going on a date with is that he was just very boring.

SPEAKER_04

You were hoping to get a chicken in the oven for your friend's sake.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yeah, he didn't have a chicken in the oven. He wanted to talk about the wind. Do you know what I mean? I don't know if he's just like fascinated by the weather, or he just has a really boring life and doesn't really know what to talk about with somebody, but like he just was always texting her about the weather and like how work was really boring, and he doesn't really do much, and he doesn't know how to cook, so he orders loads of like takeaway food. And I just said to her, like, just give him a chance, like he could be amazing in person. Not only that, like you might, you know, you might want to take his clothes off, you might fancy him, it might be good. So she's like, Do you want to come? And I'm like, Of course, like this is a day out.

SPEAKER_04

You were like, I you're asking me, Do I want to see a train wreck? Absolutely. I will clear my schedule. Whatever I had going on, I don't anyway.

SPEAKER_00

I cancelled all plans immediately.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry, mate, got a chicken in the oven, I gotta go take care of it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, exactly, exactly. I was like, let let me come. Let let's I it's already in the diary, actually. You don't need to invite me. I've invited myself. This is gonna be this is gonna be like, you know, the movie that you want to see before everybody else. This this that is what this was, you know. I was to revolve minions ten before all of you have.

SPEAKER_04

Oh you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00

Like minions, I've watched it already. So anyway, so we get to this place, right? And I was like, I need front seat view, and you know what? It just fell into my hands. There was this table, literally two steps, two like Santa steps. You know, Santa obviously takes big steps. It was like that, but it was just close enough for me to even listen to the conversation. I literally I sprinted for this table. Someone got up and I sat right down. And the seat was still warm, it was lovely.

SPEAKER_04

Then it were clear the pillows because you went to shut the fuck up, clear the pimpers.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, like there were still there were still some beer glasses on the table, but I was just like, Do you know what? It makes it look like I've got company and I don't look so bad. So this is perfect. We've been here for a long time. My date has had a few beers right now. He's just in the toilet, and do you know what? No one else is gonna know. You know what I mean? That sort of situation, like, you know, people aren't even gonna realise if someone sits down or not, because I'm gonna be gonna be mixing it up a little bit. That's um, I was actually even talking to other guests in the pub about the date, and my friend didn't even know. Um anyway, he walks in and it just it went from like a fun day out to a not so fun day out. He had like a turtleneck on, okay, and I'm not against turtlenecks. If you can rock a turtleneck, you're cool.

SPEAKER_04

If you can't this man cannot rock a turtleneck.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, like he looked like a pencil, and you know when like you know when like the rubber just sticks out at the bot at the at the bottom? That was his head. Like it was just oh, it was just it was not a nice sight. It was like a pencil that had been fed a bit too much. Like now we actually call him either pencil head or uh thumb man.

SPEAKER_03

Thumb man.

SPEAKER_00

But I was doing the most, I was making funny noises, like at one point I even put like a dog bark on my phone. I thought I need to start making people look. Also, I was trying to get her attention as well. So I was like, if I if I make out like there's a dog in the pub barking, she might turn around and look at me.

SPEAKER_04

You're trying to give her the signal for the hell out.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it was just like she said she had a good date. They were there actually for quite a long time. Like the movie was a little bit longer than what I thought it would be. Do you know what I mean? Oh yeah. It lasted a bit too long. Like, I was just like, hello.

SPEAKER_05

Did he like yell something across the bar to her?

SPEAKER_00

I said, um, I just shouted, gotta go, but obviously he didn't know who I was. He didn't know who I was, and because she's like an older friend, obviously the age difference, like he didn't have a Scooby. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03

Like A Scooby.

SPEAKER_00

No one would think that like someone as young as me and her would be like that sort of close.

SPEAKER_04

Um that's hold on, I'm sorry to stop this the momentum of this a Scooby because he Because he didn't have a clue?

SPEAKER_00

Yes!

SPEAKER_04

That is fucking beautiful. I love that proceeds.

SPEAKER_03

Cockney rhyming slang, cockney rhyming slang.

SPEAKER_04

I love it. Is that right? Oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, no one would have a Scooby-doobie clue.

SPEAKER_03

I love it. Scooby-doo, clue, look for clues, apples and pears, stairs, all that shit. I love that.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, oh see, he's already done his research.

SPEAKER_04

No, it's just past life.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, Kyle, you did your homework. I'm so proud of you.

SPEAKER_04

Past life, madam.

SPEAKER_00

That's what I'm saying. So he didn't have a he didn't have a Scooby that I was there. He didn't know that we came together. He didn't know. And then the day ended, and that's where the fun began. But it kind of like we actually even made friends with another woman who was with her boyfriend. Um, they were out for some drinks, and we were all going back and forth, and like we were saying about how he's boring, you know, all he talks about is work. Um, do you know what? The saddest thing is, if she if my friend fancied him, he'd probably really look after her. But like, you know when someone just doesn't bring out the best of you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like she was just sat there and I could see her, and I was just like, she just looks really bored. And she doesn't look like she's having fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um the only thing is, like, he was a nice person, but you know when it's just like, oh, you're just like, you just want to talk about the wind, and like you want to talk about how many times you cut your grass a month. This is not fun.

SPEAKER_04

Jesus. Jesus.

SPEAKER_00

But a first date needs to be fun.

SPEAKER_05

It's gotta be something. Yeah, so he's like he's like a sentient potato.

SPEAKER_03

A sentient potato. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Even like when he walked to the toilet, like he said, do you know what he said? He said he got lost going to the toilet. Like, like, and he said that like he got to the he got to like the toilet, and then like he couldn't remember the way back, so he went the other way. And I and I said to my friend, like, no, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, I just I remember you said that in a half a second. I paused that's like, oh I went to the toilet, I gotta last it all the way back. I just see you like two tables over, no, let's go!

SPEAKER_00

Just like really loud, just nope, like we were actually conversating, we were conversating while he was in the toilet, and like I was like asking her like what she thinks and everything, and she was like, Oh, I just don't fancy him. Like, I don't like like we need to go, we need to go. And I was just like, I can't wait. And I was like then mentioning we were having dinner in the place as well, so she was like, I've got to go because I'm going like out for dinner with my friend, and then I'm seeing my son. Obviously, he didn't know I was there, but we were actually staying there and having some dinner, and I was just at this point, like it had gone on for too long. I was getting hungry, you know. I was looking at the menu and I was telling her about the food, so I was saying, you need to hurry up because the calamari on the menu looks lovely. You know what I mean? And you know, sometimes when something's so popular on the menu, they stop serving it. So you better wrap this up and say, Right, I've got to go. I'm hungry, and yours just not for me. It's really sad actually because he was nice. He was a he did seem like a good guy, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Just boring as shit.

SPEAKER_00

You know what I mean? His toes weren't tapping.

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_00

They were, you know what I mean? His toes weren't tapping, but he was slacking.

SPEAKER_04

Ah.

SPEAKER_00

There we go. It was not good. It was not good. If I had a date like that, I would say chickens in the oven.

SPEAKER_04

Chickens in the oven, I'm enjoying it. Becoming a nun.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean? Like that was probably the best thing I learned from my date.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, Jesus.

SPEAKER_00

That's it's just so easy like that. All you've just got to do is just say you've left some chicken in the oven and you just gotta leave.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. What's uh another one? Uh my friend, my friend said she had to a different friend actually. She uh she had to go cuddle her cat. That's what she said. If I remember correctly, and it's not like cuddle her cat, like I know, I need just I'm getting the fuck out of here, and like something along the lines, whatever is um she's went on a date with this guy, all this other kind of fun stuff. They're chit-chatting away, he's you know, whatever the hell they're talking about. They're gonna think takes, you know, they're gonna go back to his place, they're gonna have a fun time, all that fun shit, right? And she starts looking around and whatnot, and like so who are these people in these pictures? And I was like, oh, it's my wife and kids. Oh, the one you said you didn't have?

SPEAKER_03

Last thing you said was nah, and just walked out. Something like that.

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy. Yeah. Who goes on his height if you got a wife? Apparently that guy. Apparently that guy. A lot of guys.

SPEAKER_04

Overdressed For Dirt Track Races

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. I think probably the worst one was, and I think I told this story before. Um a guy had asked me out, and he was like, I want to take you to the races.

SPEAKER_04

And where we live, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where we live.

SPEAKER_05

That sounds fun. There's like, we have dog races, horse races, you know, casinos that have really nice, you know, and I was like, oh, okay. Um, and so like I go and I dress appropriately for going to a nice like racing event, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm, you know, dressed to the nines. And I will say, this is also important. I was dressed in all in black, okay, because you know, casino, we're going watch the races, right?

SPEAKER_04

Let's face it, a black dress, elegance. Come on.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. There's a ton of ton of nice, yeah. Yeah, what do you mean?

SPEAKER_04

A tone. Exactly.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. And so he picks me up, and I did like his car. He had like this vintage, um, I don't know if it was like a Trans Am or Camaro. Anyway, it was like a vintage car, and it was really nice, and I was like, oh, okay, this is gonna be but something I should have been tipped off because he was dressed not as nice as me. And that and I was like, huh, okay. Um so anyway, we're going and we're driving, and driving in a direction I've never been to before, and we're going further and further out in the countryside. And I'm like, okay, this is there's no casinos out this way. We end up at a like a dirt racetrack, like where they take beat-up old cars and race them, and there's metal, like you have the metal um bleachers that you have to sit on. That's that's what the date was. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04

Were you telling me this one? I was just like, and I'm just like I have a feeling if you were if you were given more specifics, you probably wouldn't have hated it as much, but you were just up to the race.

SPEAKER_05

I mean maybe, like, if I would have known exactly what his version of you know the races meant, maybe I would have it may have been okay if I was in like jeans or something like that. Um, but you know, I'm in heels and a dress and sitting in a bleacher of surrounded by people that he knows, and they're all like in I'm talking like something you would wear to like mow the lawn, you know, because wow, you are getting dirty and dusty because it is a dirt track and and you know, like dust clouds and dirt is flying everywhere. And not only that, it was like 90 degrees in the hot sun on metal bleachers. Ya girl was dying. And then like he he didn't didn't offer to buy any drinks or anything. There was a kid um working the stand selling snow cones, and finally I was like, yo, kid, I need a snow cone. Cause I'm dying. Like, you know, where the hell was the race to come to New York for it? Hey, yo, kid.

unknown

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I'm like, and and I'm you know, I'm stuck in this situation. I'm in his car. Uh I have to I have to play this out, and I have to play it out so he doesn't murder me, you know, because that's always a possibility. Um and yeah, it was just miserable, miserable. And then we get back, and he's like trying to like, like, he wants to kiss, he wants to come up, and I'm like, uh no. No, I I am like like my dress had like a sheen of like dust on it. And I'm like, no, no, no. I'm going, I'm going to bed. Good night. Have a nice life.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, like I have a feeling that you probably would have enjoyed yourself a little bit more if if you knew.

SPEAKER_05

If there was more specifics, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that kind of racing. They can be a lot of fun. Oh, yeah. But if if I wasn't dressed in all black in 90 with the sun beating down on me, the sun was like, oh, here's somebody in black clothing. We're just gonna put all the power of the sun on this person, and they're also on metal bleachers. Yeah, this person we're gonna fry um intentionally.

SPEAKER_04

When you were what because you he picked you up, right? Yeah, if he saw you walking out, like if that's what was going on, he goes, Oh no, like, hey, darling, just so you know, we ain't going to those kind of races. Yeah, like in the fact that heads up right there, like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like, like, oh, you're you're way, you're way overdressed. But just to let you know, like, he didn't even give me that heads up. He was just like, oh wow. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04

You look attire at best.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he was like, You look great. Like, this is you know, I'm like, oh, thanks.

SPEAKER_00

He probably thought, oh my god, this is a night for grabs.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, no, he was grabbing himself at the end of the night because I was going.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

He probably thought it was gonna get a little bit, you know. He thought you might even get in the cars, maybe.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know what he had, I don't know what he thought, but whatever it was, he thought wrong.

SPEAKER_03

Whatever he thought is fucking wrong.

SPEAKER_00

Oh shit. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what do you know what I always do though, in them sort of situations when you think, oh, like I just don't not rock him with this. I always like reverse it, and I'm like, huh? You're not gonna murder me, but I could murder you.

SPEAKER_01

There you go.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean? Because you gotta just make them think, I will put up a fight. Or sometimes I just say it like, if I'm going on a date and they're gonna pick me up, I'm like, you're not gonna murder me, are you? Like, yeah, can I can I take your number plate and give it to my mum?

SPEAKER_04

What the hell is that what's that meme? What's that meme that someone asked about one time where the it was like uh someone along the answer goes, Oh, did you know that uh do you think there's more serial killers or or or um serial killers or porn stars in the world? And then the guy answered, he goes, like, the odds of both of us being a serial killer in a car right now, pretty low.

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. You just don't know, but sometimes you just gotta like make him think like, okay, you could kill me, but yeah, I could also murder you too.

SPEAKER_03

It's a two-way street, baby. You never know.

Surprise Christmas Dinner With His Mom

SPEAKER_05

Exactly. I just thought the other one, the other really uncomfortable one was a guy was like, Hey, I want to take you out to dinner. It was around Christmas time. I want to take you out for Christmas, you know, Christmas dinner.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And so he picks me up.

SPEAKER_04

I think this one's worse.

SPEAKER_05

Proceeds to take me to his fucking mother's house. Oh my gosh. And the whole fucking family is there for Christmas dinner and gift exchange. Oh, I have this was the first, like, I had met him, I knew 15 minutes of this guy. Like, I, you know, he was just like he was like a friend of a friend, and we were at a bar and he was like, listen, I want I, you know, like want to take you out, I want to do this, and I'm like, fine, and we made plans. Proceeds to like like like I'm his girlfriend showing up to a family dinner at Christmas time. Like, it was so uncomfortable. Like, I didn't, you know, I'm sitting there with no gift. I can remember at one point, like his mom shuffles off into the back area somewhere, and she comes out and has a has a gift for me. And I'm like, Yeah, she you went and it was like a candle or something.

SPEAKER_00

She just got something off the side. Yeah, she got something off the side and wrapped it up.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. It was so awkward. Like, you know what? Bless that woman for that, though. Yeah, bless that woman.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, good honor.

SPEAKER_05

She was probably thinking, What the hell, son? What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, it was so awkward. It was so awkward. Never talk to him ever again after that.

SPEAKER_04

I sure shit wasn't Jesus. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that is crazy. Do you in the in America do like obviously only you, Angela, can answer this, but like, do men like offer a date and then like be like, let's go on a drive? Yes. That's weird. Oh my god, that is my pet hate. When a man says, let's go for a date, like, bigs it up that you know they have a good job and they drive an ass car and you know they're they you know they they're actually serious about someone now and they want to like you know, kind of like treat a woman well, and then they're like, when it comes to like talking about the plans, and then they're like, I think we should just like go on like a little drive and like maybe go on a drive-thru. And I'm like, I can do that with my dog, you know, my dog, he's got a car see, like, I don't need you to take me to the drive-thru. I I actually would prefer to scooter there, to be honest. I will scooter in five foot of snow. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to come in your car and go to the drive-thru.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, it wasn't even like this in daddy daycare. In the winter, he wanted to do something like this one?

SPEAKER_00

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Like, I'm saying I would just rather do that in five foot of snow on a scooter. Okay. Because that is down bad. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

I I could see, I'll I'll put it this way. If you live in an area where, like, like what is it? It's I've never been there, but it's like, what is it, the West Coast? Is that area in like California where it's like supposed to be like the nicest like drive or whatever the hell it is. Like if it like if it's just driving around town, go fuck yourself, Bob. Like, what like you said, what the hell are you doing? Like, I guess if it's like a scenic thing and like maybe that's I don't know, maybe that's a thing of just like just chilling and cruising or whatever, like a cute little picnic area, maybe you can pull off and have a little something. I guess I could see that, I could understand that. But it's like, no, we're just gonna drive around town and like hit a drive-thru. Yeah, no, no.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean? Exactly. Like, if it was like um, like a drive and a picnic in like a nice park during the day, but these, these, like I have had like several scenarios actually where I've like spoken to guys and then you know, they're like, Oh, I I feel like I I get the vibe that we're gonna go on a date, and then they're like, Oh, do you want to go on a drive? And I'm like, actually, um, my goldfish died, and I'm quite sad, actually.

SPEAKER_04

My goldfish died, so he won't be here to watch the chicken I just put in the oven.

SPEAKER_00

It's just like he nancy nice, you know, like it's that sort of situation where you're like, actually, um, my dog ate a bug and got to take it to the vet. Cheese. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, and I'm like, I'm not going on a drive with you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I would rather sit in my garden and eat slugs because I don't want to sit in your car and go and get a cheeseburger. Like, what is this all about?

SPEAKER_04

Jesus, Jesus, guys, do better. Yeah, do it better. What's wrong with you?

SPEAKER_05

I I went out with a guy that like his idea of like us getting together, like he we would he would just like go on these nonsensical drives, like 45 minutes down the river and then 45 minutes back, and like that was the date. I did that twice, and I was like, no, I I don't know what's going on here. I don't know like what the your thing is with driving. Um, like we can have a conversation and you don't have to be driving. Like it was it was it's weird with these gas prices, absolutely not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is weird.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's I mean, I wouldn't know, but hey, I guess so.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. He also was like, um, like he uh didn't, you know, he was, I guess, sort of religious to a certain extent. Like there were things you could do, but not things you couldn't do because until you're married, you can't do those things. Um then absolutely like on Sunday, there was no kissing, you couldn't do anything because that was a holy day. And I was like, you know what? This you're not this no, this is not for me. Goodbye. Yeah, that is crazy.

SPEAKER_00

That's a bit much. I've not heard about that.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's all listen, I'll listen. That do your thing, whatever makes you feel good, help you sleep at night, that's fine. But like, what? Get out of here, get out of here with that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, we need all the novels. Go get on Christian Mingle or something. Leave me alone. We can only do it in the armpit on Wednesdays.

SPEAKER_04

Like, you know what I mean? Fuck out of here. Get out of here. Listen, I'm trying to I'm trying to fast track it to hell. That's what we're trying to do.

SPEAKER_00

So we normally do it in the ears on Wednesdays. Oh, in the ears?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, see, that's different. Like I said, that's one of the con that's one of the common misconceptions, is that okay. Wednesdays is the ear day.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, loud and clear.

SPEAKER_04

Loud.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that is so funny. It's so actually crazy to hear about like um American men and how they date to like you, like how different it is like to UK men.

SPEAKER_05

American men are just terrible. Let's just American men are absolutely the worst. They're just they're just the worst. Yeah, present company present company excluded, but oh no, present company included.

Purple Snaps And Unsolicited Pics

SPEAKER_04

It's okay. That's pretty fucking horrible. I'm a recovering piece of shit. I'll I'll admit it. Yeah, they just I've broken up with a couple of girlfriends over text. Oh, Kyle. No! I'm a recovering, I'm a recovering piece of garbage. I like to think I'm doing pretty okay. Now there's a couple of text messages. I will say I will say this one.

SPEAKER_00

This is the question though, Kyle, because I do feel like men seem to do this a lot.

SPEAKER_04

Wow, what's the question?

SPEAKER_00

Do you have have you ever like sent like I'm gonna say a purple snap? Like that could be on any platform, that could be on WhatsApp, whatever. Let's just call it a purple snap. Have you ever sent the same one to multiple women? Women, men love to do this. And you know what they love to do? They love to in the UK especially, they love to do it, and you know, they do it to like a friendship group. And you know when all the girls are together and you all receive the same one? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04

Well, that's the kind of first problem, because if you you need to know the friend group before you start doing shit like that.

SPEAKER_00

Because like we're doing that, you need to do a little bit more research there, and it's just like it's like, oh my god, not only is the photo bad, but you've also got no brain cells.

SPEAKER_04

Jesus, it's just ding, ding, ding. Uh-oh. And then they're all looking, oh shit. Oof.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, men love to do this in the UK. Jesus. You know, like they'll they'll like take like a generic picture, like in the mirror, maybe like topless, maybe like some like really tight shorts, a bit of V-line on the show, maybe like even like a hand in the boxer, you know, feeling up the pencil down there. Feeling up pencil head, you know what I mean? There you go. The ones that know, no, the ones that don't. That's to be you.

SPEAKER_04

Oh god. Oh men, aren't we just isn't it just like wild how humanity is still a thing? Because I'm listening I'm not saying it's right, all sorts kind of fun stuff. It's just an unpleasant fact of history, it's the way it is. Men have been put in charge of pretty much everything for ever. How are how have we it's nothing but the by the luck or the grace of God that humanity is still a thing because men are pretty damn stupid. And uh just yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what? It's more like I think sometimes they just don't, especially the ones that I've dealt with, they don't think. Like, do they think that we don't speak? Like I conversate with my friend about everything. She knows if a guy's asked me on a date. So if you're also asking her on a date or showing her your non-existent abs, then she's also gonna tell me.

SPEAKER_04

1018, 1018, shots fired, shots fired, send all units. Yeah, like that's just exactly that is zero thought. Like, like and like he knows that you guys are friends, right? Yeah, yeah, dumb. Dumb. That guy's just that's just dumb. You never know. Come on.

SPEAKER_05

And here's another thing I will never understand. Like, you're just you're just starting to talk to a guy, right? And then out of the blue, out of fucking nowhere, you look at your phone, your messages, and there it is. There it is. I'm like, I didn't ask for that. I didn't want to see that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's just if you're if you're if you're comfortable with that person and it's at that level, I'm down.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but not yeah, not like this is the second day you've ever conversed to a guy, you know, guy, and then like you you left it on like you're you're fucking, I don't know, talking about music or movies or whatever, you know, and then you wake up and and the first thing you see is that like there's no conversation, like it was just like, hey, here's you wake up in the morning and there's his P Diddy just yeah, and it's like you know, and I always try to reply with like, oh, it's cute, you know, or little scrunchy scrunchies.

SPEAKER_00

That is probably the worst thing that you could say as well. Saying it's cute. Men hate that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you know, try to like I'd rather be left on red, give like a nice little insult there, like, and and then block. Yeah, where's the rest of it?

SPEAKER_00

In the bin.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. Men are men are terrible.

SPEAKER_05

Men are terrible, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

To be fair, like I I'm all for empowering women, but I I do know people that you know, some of us women that are a little bit cray cray.

SPEAKER_04

A little bit, yeah. Don't leave it at that.

SPEAKER_05

I just know from time conversations that from with Kyle, like the things that just you know, he's had some wild things just there's a couple. Yeah, there's a couple, like just out of nowhere. Like, women will show their junk too.

SPEAKER_04

Women are women are just as ridiculous as now. Yeah, women are just as ridiculous as when it comes to that aspect, that type that we're talking about. Like, what? What are though I will say this what was that? About a month or two ago?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's about a month or two ago, I got my very first uh uh random unsolicited picture from a gentleman. It's my very, very first one. About a month or so ago, I think it was. I was like, I swear, I swear to God, Lily, I I as God Odin, whatever deity you believe in, as my witness. Phone thing, TikTok, it's okay. Open it. Chat. Open. Huh. So that's what that feels like.

SPEAKER_05

So that's what that feels like.

SPEAKER_04

So that's what that feels like.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he told me about that. I was like, well, welcome, welcome to womanhood.

SPEAKER_04

It was like 9 a.m. on a Wednesday. It was like, that's what that feels like.

SPEAKER_05

Like, this is what we deal with all the time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know what? He woke up and said, Happy hump day.

SPEAKER_04

Literally, I was just, I swear, I was like, it is so early. Really? Is this what I I had to message all of my closest female friends. I was like, it really just happened. Like, yeah, like like you had said, at least you had some conversation with the gentleman before or whatever. At least there's some type of uh, I'm not saying I support that thought process, but we have had a conversation, things are going. Hmm, let's take the conversation to a new level. Was the first thing this person ever said. I think they popped into like my live the day before and was just like, ooh, yummy, crop top, or something like that. That was it. And then it was the next morning, 9 a.m. Dong. And I'm like, so that's what that's like. It was like, does it really happen to and my juke? You have no idea.

SPEAKER_05

Every woman that you've talked to are like, yep.

SPEAKER_04

Every one of them, every single one of them, every single one of them.

SPEAKER_05

And I was he thought about you all night.

SPEAKER_04

I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did.

SPEAKER_05

All day and all night, because that you that was a morning live. Oh no.

SPEAKER_04

Yep, it was. Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Well, can you send them my way?

SPEAKER_04

I'm good. I'm good. No facts.

SPEAKER_05

I had a friend once who um she had a gallery up. She would photoshop, she would uh, you know, any unsolicited picture that she would get, she would take it and like Photoshop like little hats, and that's all it was doing stuff. Like had a whole gallery. She had like a whole website built that was just like this is this is my gallery of unsolicited Richards.

SPEAKER_04

I knew of a woman one time who she went to whichever website apparently there's websites, there's stuff, there's things, whatever, where she just takes them and she's just like anonymously posting them like that one, and she'll just like rank them and dudes pay her to do it. It's fantastic.

SPEAKER_00

That is crazy.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. She'll just like rank them and she just talks so much shit about all the photos she gets.

SPEAKER_05

Thanks will pretty much pay for anything though. Yeah, like how much does she get paid? I could do that. I can I can absolutely just rip them in half. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I will basically rip them. Couple hundred bucks, I think.

SPEAKER_00

Pencil dick, 0.6. Smash it, Bruce, out of the park.

SPEAKER_04

Pencil dick, needle dick, spaghetti dick. You know what? Turtleneck dick, bad dick, banana dick, dick dick. You're just clicking through them, you're just rifling through like swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe.

SPEAKER_00

Just found a new career path.

SPEAKER_04

Oh 5%.

SPEAKER_00

Guys, if you was gonna follow me on TikTok, now follow me on rate my dick tock. Rate my dick.

SPEAKER_04

We're gonna call it crooked or junk it.

SPEAKER_00

Send your banana my way. And the monkeys will come and find you.

SPEAKER_04

That is funny as hell. Oh, that's great.

SPEAKER_00

Kyle, I hear you have questions.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you want to you had questions before, yeah.

UK Stereotypes And Beer Garden Sun

SPEAKER_04

Just the way. Okay, just added that. Alright, so I this is always fun. What is uh what are stereotypes of the UK, of anything that you can think of, of your country, your culture, all this other kind of fun stuff, however you want to label it. Give me at least one that is just horrendously wrong. Like, shut the fuck up, we don't always drink tea, get out of here, what blah blah blah. And what's one that is absolutely it's a fact. It's not a stereotype, it's not being mean, it's just a fact.

SPEAKER_00

Um, okay, right. So one that is a fact is that like when when we have when we have a slight bit of sun in the UK, actually, i.e., like kind of the last couple of weeks have been like kind of hot for us. I say hot because the sun's out and it's like warm. You could probably like either have like a little jacket on or take a little like a little jacket with you if you're like leaving the house, depending on like how late you're staying out, because obviously the temperatures can drop like in the evening. But as soon as we have a little bit of sun, yes, we are sat in a beer garden with sunglasses on our head, either drinking beer or wine. And yes, we probably have denim shorts and a vest on. It is not summer, but we see the sun and we're like, right, it is beer garden season. Get me in the pub, let's get drunk.

SPEAKER_03

Fair enough.

SPEAKER_00

No, I mean, let's find all the geezers in the pub and have a pint.

SPEAKER_04

I love it. So just okay, so when the sun comes out in the UK, it's just Tuesday in America. Got it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's just like, you know, it could be like, it could literally be a Tuesday, but the pubs will be heaving.

SPEAKER_04

And they're just like, fuck it, the weather's nice. Let's get the patty, let's get in the book garden. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And you know what? Like, we like do you know what? It's for me, I'm actually not like that because um obviously I don't know if you know, but I am half Greek. So for me, I need I need some real sun.

SPEAKER_04

I need actual I need actual weather, none of this bullshit.

SPEAKER_00

Like, you know, I'll I'll go to the pub if it's if it's a nice day, but I feel like that kind of is like a tradition. I know it sounds really crazy, but it is like a traditional thing. Obviously, you can be you can be like 18 to have a drink in the UK. So everyone, like, you know, the that all the 18-year-old lads will like finish work after, you know, I don't know, being on top of a roof, building a house or carpenting or you know, plastering or cutting down trees, and all the lads are like, are we going to the pub tonight? Uh points on you, David. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03

Like it's the most brilliant fucking thing I think I've ever occurred.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my points on you, mate! Like, oh no, like smell is beautiful.

SPEAKER_04

I smell fish and chips right now.

SPEAKER_00

But no, like that is, yeah, that is a typical, a typical thing. Like tonight, today, it's like 20 degrees. Does say like a little bit windy. Um, but I can assure you it is only a Thursday, which yes, it does mean that the weekend kind of starts tomorrow, but the pubs will probably be like semi-busy this evening. Like starting from like now, like it's 4 pm.

SPEAKER_03

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Nearly 4 p.m. So everyone is like finishing work, you know. Most people don't even go home, actually. They'll just go straight to the pub. Like all the workmen just literally go straight to the pub.

SPEAKER_04

Well, yeah, that's dope. And um it's on the way.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, exactly. They're like, huh, meet at the local. Are you gonna be there?

SPEAKER_05

The local. Um so what's a misconception?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Probably like it it's really weird. If you're a Christian, okay, it is known to have like fish and chips on a Friday. But like not not everyone does. So it's kind of like that's kind of like in the middle because it's just like they do call it like Fish and Chip Friday, but you get like a majority. I would say it's probably like the older generation that do that.

SPEAKER_04

Is it just is that year-round or like just during like Easter time and whatnot? Because over here in America, it's just like at least I only hear that like, okay, so like everyone has fish on Fridays during like Lent before Lent before Easter and whatnot, all that kind of shit, because you can't have meat on Fridays or whatever. I don't remember the rules specifically.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, so on like Good Friday, people a lot of people do have like fish and chips. But yeah, I would say kind of like all year round, people do like people will be like, oh, like let's get a Chippy Tea on a on a Friday. Um but but I do feel like it is kind of like more the older generation that do. So when like you hear people say, Oh, everyone eats fish and chips on a Friday, I'm like, no, they don't. Like, I don't.

SPEAKER_04

You gotta go get a bit nut in bulk, yeah?

SPEAKER_00

I'm normally like ha get the porn star martinis, porn star martinis and on a Friday, not really fish and chips.

SPEAKER_04

There you go.

SPEAKER_05

I was hoping you were gonna say, you know, not all British people eat beans on toast.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, that is probably actually another one. It's like yes, it is a big thing. Is it like a delicacy? Like it's not a delicacy. It is not no, it's not it's a travesty.

SPEAKER_04

It's a travesty, is what it is.

SPEAKER_00

Have you tried it?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah? No.

SPEAKER_00

You have, Kyle. What did you think?

Beans On Toast And Food Name Confusion

SPEAKER_04

It's not good. It's not just just outright just not good.

SPEAKER_00

It's just like you know what, you're not making it right though.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I'm not making it right. So just the can on some toast doesn't count?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

You gotta, what you gotta do is you gotta put the put the beans in like a pan on the stove, right? Salt, pepper, add butter, and then add your cheese, like grated cheddar, okay, into, and it like makes it really creamy. Okay. Right? You need like, when I say it's a delicacy, it is kind of, but it's not. Like, if you go where I live, actually, there's not many around, other than like franchise coffee shops like Starbucks, Costa, um, we have a cafe here called Cafe Nero. Um, I don't really have like many cafes because I do live in a tiny little town. But like, if you go into London and you have like, there's like loads of little like tiny cafes that like you can get breakfast, brunch options like paninis, toasties, like full English, uh, scrambled eggs on toast, poached eggs on toast. You could order beans on toast, but like you can't just go to a random restaurant and be like, Can I have some beans on toast? Like, they'd probably look at you and think like you're in the wrong place, darling. They'll be just the bar.

SPEAKER_04

The balms have stuffed. You can eat normal food, you know what they're renting.

SPEAKER_00

Like, it is kind of like that. It's a bit weird, but like you need like some proper, nice, like sourdough bread, like toasted. Oh, yeah. The bread needs to not be soggy, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah, that's the yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You don't want like just thin bread that you've put in the toaster, slapped a bit of butter on, you put the beans on, and it's like it's like you've just been like hit in the head with some cheese on your forehead. You know what I mean? You want like a you want like a proper bit of bread. Like, you know when you get a slice of cheese and you just hit someone in the head.

SPEAKER_04

I thought that wasn't a euphemism. You were like, no, you literally take a bit of cheese and whack them. Like slap a wipes in your titties.

SPEAKER_00

I can't lie, actually, it's not a euphemism. At Christmas, I normally do that to my sister.

SPEAKER_03

Which is nailing some cheese.

SPEAKER_04

That's funny.

SPEAKER_00

Like, you know, when you're having like cheese and biscuits on Christmas Day in the UK, actually, that is something that like a lot of people do do.

SPEAKER_04

Cheese and biscuits, okay.

SPEAKER_00

We have like cheese and crackers, you know, on like on like Christmas Day evening. Um, I normally just like to like piss my sister off. So if she's like annoying me, I'll just get a little slice of cheese and just like just get a little slap on the forehead.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, she's just throwing like Captain Fucking America with his shield wonk, poof, slammed with some cheese, man.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just like Merry Fucking Christmas.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, you gotta be careful with that, man. If that cheddar is too sharp, you can cut her. Careful with that.

SPEAKER_00

Well, it's only mild.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00

So she's fine, she's fine, so just a bit of a brew, she'll be fine. No, like you need you need like a good bit of butter in the beans, you need like some cheese, some proper good, like sourdough bread. That makes a beans on toast.

SPEAKER_05

Still can't think of anything worse. Oh my god. Yeah, true. What do you cut? Do you call do you just call it beans and toast, or do you have like a funny little name? Like what is that one like toad in a hole or something like that?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, toad in the hole. That is um sausage in a Yorkshire pudding.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um not honestly, like, not a massive fan of that, you know.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, it looks like it looks horrible. Like, so if you don't- Oh, you know what?

SPEAKER_00

It's actually so nice.

SPEAKER_04

I bet you it is, but but everyone's you know, douchebags will go, you eat with the eyes first. If that was 100% true, if I didn't wasn't not a chance in hell if I was a stickler to that rule, I would never eat half of the food from across the pond. Because sometimes it's not the most appealing looking. Delicious!

SPEAKER_00

Fantastic stuff, but like Do you eat like Yorkshire puddings in America?

SPEAKER_04

Uh, I know it's called something different. Um shit.

SPEAKER_05

Um Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

I gotta I gotta look it up. What the fuck's it like? Not like because it's it's it's almost like a it's like a pastry. It's not like a pudding pudding. Isn't it almost like kind of like a like a it's like a crumpety kind of thing, like in like a muffin?

SPEAKER_00

It's like made out of like um pancake batter.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, um, a Dutch baby. You know what a Dutch baby is?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Well, it's you'll probably it's exactly it kind of looks like a Yorkshire pudding. But yeah, it's like a pancake batter and you bake it, so it it's pastry-esque. But same thing, they're calling it a pudding, but it's a fucking baked good. Like, how ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, do you know what? They they are like honestly, on a on like a roast dinner, they're amazing, like with loads of gravy on. But do you know what I get actually? It's really funny. I don't know why I get like this, but I just get really quite, I think because like I've always been into fitness and stuff, um, that I've always been kind of like very conscious of what I eat and kind of watch my portions, but like stodgy food like that, and when there's like big meals, just I get very overwhelmed. So when I have like a big plate of food, the like the thought of it just like puts me off, like makes me not hungry. So like Toad in the Hole is also quite stodgy, like sausages and Yorkshire pudding, and the batter is quite heavy on the stomach.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I don't really tend to eat that, but it is really nice. Like Yorkshire pudding with loads of gravy on is really good. It literally tastes like a pancake with gravy, which doesn't sound nice, but it is good.

SPEAKER_04

But it's it's lightly sweetened and it's a big, no, it's yeah, like it's some type of a baked good or some bread-esque material, some type of gravy carb. With gravy is fantastic. So like biscuits and gravy. We're not getting into biscuits and gravy. Chill, Ange. But you know, some type of a baked good and gravy. Some type of uh whatever. Yeah, actual like American biscuits, not cookie biscuits.

SPEAKER_00

What is that all about? That is nonsense.

SPEAKER_04

What do you mean nonsense? Like a biscuit that you would have, or I don't know, what what the hell do you call like I guess like a scone, like a savory scone is what it would be? Is your scone just like your gravy? Okay, but it's it's yeah, it's like a flour-baked good. Think of it like a big I don't know, like a like a bread, like a bready cracker, if you will. A biscuit. And then you dip it in gravy.

SPEAKER_05

Like a like a breakfast gravy. Not like a beef gravy or like a big bigger. Oh, what do you got? Like a beef gravy.

SPEAKER_04

You kidding me? If I got if I got like fucking dinner rolls with like, I don't know, like pot roasts or some shit, like I'm slopping that fucking gravy up with a rolls.

SPEAKER_03

If I got a biscuit with it, hell yeah, I'm fucking it up, homie.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but traditionally a biscuit.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah, the traditional breakfast. Yeah, it's the breakfast gravy, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's the other thing.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's really good.

SPEAKER_04

That's a it's it's insanely good.

SPEAKER_05

Like some sausage gravy on top of a biscuit.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah, that's good shit, man. That's the other thing, too. That it's just fun. I all love and respect, but the names you guys have for some shit is just like wild to me. Well, like Yorkshire pudding. If you were to say that one to an American, I'm expecting something like a pudding cup, whatever the hell it is, no matter how it may be flavored. But then you hand me something good, and I'm like, the fuck is that? And isn't it uh let me just triple chip?

SPEAKER_05

Sprinkles are hundreds and thousands.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, hundreds and thousands. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Sprinkles, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, sprinkles, thank you. See, at least she gets it, but yeah, it was like, oh, you have hundreds of. I was like, what get box? Like, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like if you go to like a waffle place or like a pancake parlor or uh like even to the ice cream man, he might say, Do you want sprinkles? And you'll be like, either yes or no.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, exactly. Like, oh, and isn't minced meat like dried fruit and like sweet and all this other kind of bullshit?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, mince meat is like what you would have in like a mince pie.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, exactly, exactly. If I would say minced meat, I'm thinking of like ground beef and like whatever the hell it is. So it's like no, but then you hand, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, to be fair, like even the British kind of can get confused with that though as well. Like I probably would, because like you would only really talk about yeah, you would only talk you would only really talk about that like at Christmas time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, you don't really see people buying like mints meat like during the year, other than like in December. Yeah, you're like, oh my god, you're speaking another language.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

English, please. It is really funny when like people It's funny when people from like you know, the same just from the same country, and it's just a just a different area, just a different region of the country make fun of them and be like, Jesus Christ, can you speak fucking English? Like, I I am, but you know. They just call it shit different, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like shit, even like some of the stuff where Angie is is like different from like fuck like where I grew up and where I live now.

SPEAKER_05

Like just certain things are probably called I can't think of anything off the top of my head right now, but well, like you call a liquor store a package store.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, it's a package store. I can make it a packy or so on and so forth. That's a regional thing, but it's just a liquor store. Over here they call it a party store in the Midwest.

SPEAKER_00

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

Alcohol Laws And Getting Carded

SPEAKER_00

See, that's crazy. I'm also fascinated, like, that you lot don't sell alcohol in supermarkets.

SPEAKER_04

Oh no, we don't. It's it's that's that's a regional thing. So where I grew up, um you couldn't you could only sell beer and wine up to a certain strength in your grocery stores, and you couldn't sell it on Sundays at all whatsoever. It was illegal, like a felony. You would go to actual prison time if you sold um liquor on uh on Sunday. But they kind of restrained that. They lifted you just can't sell liquor in your grocery stores in Connecticut. Here in here in Michigan, I can go to my fucking gas station and I can buy liquor.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, here it's it's very dependent on the state that you live in. Um, like for instance, I live really close to Pennsylvania, and in Pennsylvania, all you the only place that you can buy liquor are called uh ABC stores. And I think it stands for like alcohol, beverage and cock. Something. I but anyway, it's it's just you have to you have to have a certain license and you have a certain store. Um in in like West Virginia, where I am, um yeah, you can you can get liquor at a lot of different places, like grocery stores, you can get it at um, well, in like liquor stores. But here's the thing we have what we call blue laws, yeah. And um you can't sell any alcohol uh until noon on Sunday. And then after that, though, it's only like beer and wine. So no hard liquors are allowed to be sold on a Sunday.

SPEAKER_04

Oh wow. Wild. I guess we can't.

SPEAKER_05

And like and like if you go across the like to Utah. Where you know it's kind of like very heavily based into you know the Mormon religion. Um, like alcohol is just like not a thing in Utah. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04

A buddy of mine is in his 40s and he just had his first alcoholic beverage like a month ago.

SPEAKER_00

Wow.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so it's very it's like yeah, it's very dependent upon the counties too, where there's just no alcohol, period, at all. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's crazy. It's fucking horrible. That's why we don't live there.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know, man. Not an alcoholic, but I got questions for those places.

SPEAKER_00

That is hilarious. That's crazy to me. That's so different from the UK. You literally can pretty much get alcohol anywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

In a petrol station, supermarket.

SPEAKER_01

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

Um, like corner shops. Yeah. Like I literally, it's like a three-minute walk, and I can go to the shop and get some alcohol and literally buy pretty much anything.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Like I said, same with Michigan. Michigan's the exact same way. We just anywhere. The only thing in the UK. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

The only thing in the UK, like um, so I don't know if you if you if you don't know this, I don't know if you would know, but like for energy drinks, you have to be like 16.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so like if you don't look, it's funny actually, sometimes I even get ID for a Red Bull.

SPEAKER_04

That's funny as hell.

SPEAKER_00

Wow.

SPEAKER_04

You just go next to Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00

And it's like, if I go in and I've got my car keys and stuff, and like, you know, I am obviously very womanly. I'm looking at her and I'm like, and I even look down at my tits and I'm like, excuse me. You think a six-year-old is gonna be easy, lady?

unknown

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_00

But I'm driving a car. What do you think? I've stolen my nan's car.

SPEAKER_04

And apparently her tits while you were mad it.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean? Like, I haven't got socks down my bra.

SPEAKER_04

That's kind of funny. That's that's pretty fucking funny.

SPEAKER_00

But like for alcohol, it's like 25 and over. So it's like qu they they say question 25. So if you don't look 25, they'll ID you. Um, but yeah, like you can literally buy alcohol anywhere.

SPEAKER_04

I think the energy drink thing, I think, is actually a state-to-state. Because I know like you might actually get carded in some states for energy drinks.

SPEAKER_00

I know that for sure. Only so much, like um, like you can only buy like two packs of paracetamol as well. Um like per person. Like anywhere. I think in like any supermarket, it's only like two packs of paracetamol per person. I don't know why. Maybe you can overdose on paracetamol. I've never actually thought about it, but um probably.

SPEAKER_05

I held for a while you would get um there was a I don't know if they do because I haven't bought whiteout for a while. But um people were like huffing like spray paint and um whiteout, and so you had to be carded just to buy those things.

SPEAKER_04

Yep. Wow, yeah, thanks. Ruining all the fun and shit.

SPEAKER_00

Silly silly string and the and the like um like Halloween hairspray, you know, the wash-down stuff like that. I would I'd drop like 20, 30 bucks and all those, and I'd go in my backyard and I'd shoot them with BB guns because it was funny to watch it explode like that. Swear to God. So much fun. It was so much fun.

SPEAKER_00

You was bored.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Hey, it could be yeah, okay, one of two things. Either I was bored and I'm buying aerosol cans to shoot them with a BB gun, or I was bored, I'm doing them to get high. What would you rather have? You do you. I could be shooting a lot of other things with a BB gun because I'm a bored teenager. That is so funny. It was so much fun though, because if it hit it like just right, it would like spin it like a tone go. Dude, it was funny as hell. Good times, good stuff, man.

SPEAKER_04

Like if I go to someone and they say, hey, would you like a beer? Sure. How much do I owe you? No money. It is free. It could be a beer that I do not like or I've never had before. Like I don't typically like like, I don't like like really like light beers and shit like that one, but if someone's like, here's a beer that you don't have to pay for, and I say, Thank you. This is my favorite beer, because you didn't have to pay for it. You know what I mean?

unknown

Things like that.

SPEAKER_04

Um Christ.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what though? I don't mind a vodka cranberry.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so I feel I feel like their flavors can be so harsh that they just kind of cancel each other out.
