SPEAKER_02 0:00

Look at us go, we're in person together.

SPEAKER_03 0:01

We've never done this before. We've never actually met. I've still not I've still not touched you. I've been trying, and every time I try, you dodge it.

SPEAKER_02 0:08

That's really wrong. Successfully. It's because you go quite choreographed. Very choreographed. So the bit worked. Look at us go, goodness me. We're currently in person. We're recording other stuff. We're a Thank you. Oh, you're so clammy. No, I'm not. You're clammy. Be professional. That's actually horrible. I don't know, and I don't want to sound like a dick. I don't know how anybody loves you. Um we are in person together. Um for the first time ever recording a podcast. We've got another podcast of like 70 odd episodes. Never do one in person. No. Yeah, it's a weird thought. It's a weird thought. We've joined other people's podcasts on sofas. We've tried. That's I genuinely forgot that. We are a TV show. Yeah. Two TV shows. Two TV shows, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

Uh whereas no, yeah, we are we are here on this sofa.

SPEAKER_03 0:55

Um and it's like we wanted to do something a little bit special for you guys because official officially is growing. You know, there's a real core community feel for people that when we stream, they tune in, they love the episodes.

SPEAKER_02 1:05

Who wants to come on and just say hi and invest? Six grand this is costing us. It's not. Thank you at Endpoint for giving us a very cool area. I like it. I like it. It's like a living room vibe. We've recorded some videos here. Should we say what the videos are? Because we can sort of give like a bit of like a peek behind or no. Pre-review them. Let's get meta with it. So we've not done one of them yet. We've got three videos that we've that's why it's really meta. That's why it's a really review the one we've not recorded yet as well. I that I think genuinely could be my favourite. That's the fucked up part. Um we did one of the funniest ideas, I think, that I have like seen as a it was a full cool quart idea, taking no credit for this, where we ended up replacing milk and cereal with varying items, some of which were tragic. They weren't all nice, I think it's it's fair to say. Some that weirdly enjoyed. Yeah, I'm very leaning, I'm very slumpy. This is nice. Something that you weirdly enjoyed. And I think something that I weirdly enjoyed.

SPEAKER_03 2:04

I think we were always aware when it was weird that we enjoyed it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

For sure, yeah. Um, some of the all the things are over here, which I'm looking over here. Um, some of the highlights, mouthwash. Oh, that was good. It was not. It wasn't good. It was not good. No, it was very bad. Um we basically we went around uh Waitros, which around the corner. He's pretending that he doesn't remember Waitros. Is that is it called Waitrose? Way something like that, haven't it? Waitroose. Never been to one before. Well, Nanny goes there. Fucking tore it. Yeah. Um and uh yeah, we went there to try and find some uh bits and pieces for the video. And it was quite horrible walking around and thinking, what are we about to put in some crunchy nut to then consume?

SPEAKER_03 2:45

Yeah, you you said that was horrible. You also said it was horrible that Stumpy was very hyper aware that there were poor people in what he referred to as his waitros. My waitros. Because you're a well that's that's that's the name, that's what they call it.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

That's what they call their card My Waitros. Is it? Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

I've outed him. I know it's like 2.3% APR on the My Waitros apps.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

I love that.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

It's pretty good actually.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

Uh not that I need to use it.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Why did the My Waitros card have APR? I don't know what APR is. Is APR the good one or the bad one? Uh it's just interest. Yeah, it's interesting, but what is it? So this is also one of the things that we had that I just do want to consume. Starbucks protein drink, 20 grams per pole to a cup of coffee.

SPEAKER_03 3:23

Very good, very good. Uh so we recorded that, and then we have also recorded looking at uh YouTube videos and zero views.

SPEAKER_02 3:28

Oh we we hope there'd be some gems. That's actually not. It's actually genuinely better with cereal. You enjoy, you enjoy. You die, I'll explain.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

Yeah, sure. We hope there'd be some gems and there weren't any gems at all. So like we tried that one and we were thinking this is gonna be a fantastic video idea.

SPEAKER_02 3:44

That's horrible. Is that not worse? That is worse without the or it is strong. The flavour, oh maybe it's because it's milk and I don't like milk very much. Maybe it's because it's been sat out and it's vinegarised. Yeah, it has been sat out in a warm studio. Does coffee protein vinegarize? Well, it's more than milk. Does milk vinegarize? I don't know what churns. I guess it does churn of itself to make butter. We've made coffee butter. Make coffee, we made coffee butter. That's our name's video, yeah. We made coffee butter. Uh and then we've got one more to come, hasn't it? We do. Uh very spicy. Very, very spicy things are on its way. Um if we laugh, then we'll be consuming a variety of increasing intensity hot sauces. You're good with spice. I'm alright. We'll go through this again in the episode, so don't worry about it. You know, that's right. Guys, don't worry.

SPEAKER_03 4:31

If you've got a docket with stumpy fashion, what be on that docket? What'll be the weirdest thing you've said on this podcast about yourself?

SPEAKER_02 4:37

Oh god. I think that's that time you said I was wrong about something. That was really weird. The thing is, what episode is this, by the way? Twenty? Nineteen. No, twenty.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

We've not done Yeah, we did do twenty.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

No, we did 19. I got it wrong.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

No, we've just done 20.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

Did we?

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

This is 21. Ten more? Sure. Cold. Stop! You are though. Officially. Unofficially. Best podcast on the internet. Roll the credits. I love that bit. And then by magic ability, it's happened. There you go. There you go. That's very cool. Um, yeah, so uh we're gonna have lots of hot sauces. You're better with hot sauce than I am.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

We expect so, but then upsets happen.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

They happen up and down the land. If they didn't happen, bookies would be out of business, which would break our hearts because Ray Winston. Love the name. Ray Winston, our man. Yeah. God King Ray Winston. So it might be that today, for whatever reason, you can handle the spice better than I can handle the spice. Yeah, I don't bat myself too. Because you seem like someone who would be good with spice. You seem like someone who can just be like, oh, I love that. It's India and it's like the hottest vint. I'm good with normal spice. Like an ogre. A little bit. I'm not very ogre. I think, honestly, considering my size, I'm not very ogre-ish. I think I come across quite delicate and somewhat camp. I come across camp. I think that's fair. No, you know, you come across with metrosexual. You very much can't do the 2000s I was saying, camp. Um no. Well, because I washed my bum. There's a diff no, there's a difference.

SPEAKER_03 6:08

There is a difference. Metrosexual is like camp is sort of touching on being gay, but metrosexual has nothing to do with it. It's just taking care of yourself.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

Exactly. So there is a difference. I suppose so. I'd say you come across more as that one. But I do also have sex with men. Yeah, but not me. Sorry. Sorry about that, by the way. You're not calm enough, sort it out. Be more calm. Snip your game up. Um, yeah, so uh I am. I'm waiting for you. Another Northampton shaman. I don't care. Okay. So um I'm not very good at my spice. I think I'm I'm good with like a normal amount of spice. I think I'm very average with it. Yeah, okay. I will have my my good spice level is medium. No matter where I go, I will get a medium. That's my that's a nice little spice. My favourite curry, and you'll think this is pointless. Corma. I love a corner. I like a tika masala. I'm a tika masala. Where it barely touches spice, but I love the flavour of it. So that's that's fine. I'm not I'm not spice. Not spice above flavour, but anyway. Which is pointless.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

Because that's what makes you a wanker. Yes. If you're I want spice above flavour, that is the point where you become a tossle.

SPEAKER_02 7:14

That's fair.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

I would argue to to me and my taste, your Nando's, your pepes, and I love them all, their extreme doesn't touch on hot beyond flavour. Which I guess is the compliment to it. But that's the good place to be, though. Plus, I wouldn't go. Because we had Pepe's earlier. We did. And I said, I I could eat it, I'm enjoying it, but if I could slide the scale, I probably would have gone down a notch. But that was extreme, right?

SPEAKER_00 7:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:38

But that still it's still tasted because oh my god, it's so nice.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

I think I just like I like it to just I like it to tingle a bit. Yeah. I like the bit of a tingle, I'm aware that there's spice there, it adds to it, and then in about two minutes it's gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's I like that. Well, I would say about sort of takeaway and food and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

The best thing you can see when you go into a takeaway, right? Food standards rating, hygiene rating.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Yeah. So I'm not against that by any means. Oh, you know it's gonna be a good one. There's even lots of people out there that will just be like, I will not be eating there. I don't think it's not human type. I don't know why. Give it up. Just for you, they probably won't kill you.

SPEAKER_03 8:18

I mean, if I can actually see the cockroaches running out of the kitchen or the food, that's that's a step too far for me.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

But if I can't see it, no, but then so what if you knew that there were flies in the kitchen? Because you are fly averse. I am fly averse. To a fault. I'm fly racist. You are you are fly racist. I'm flying on it, but it's just, you know. You just don't trust them. I don't trust them. They're small boats. As far as I can throw them, and I can't throw them, couldn't they? Fly away. They just um Yeah, I yeah, you are you're very anti-fly. They're disgusting. To a fault. Yeah, yeah, no, they are disgusting. To the point of what, if one landed on say if you got your pepes box out, it's in like a nice sealed box, yeah. Put it down, and a fly lands on top of the box, on the cardboard.

SPEAKER_03 8:59

On the box, I would would that fuck up the whole thing for you? I'm thinking because Pepe's comes in a box that's quite uh it's thin cardboard. It is a polystyrene that's got a bit of width to it.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

You know, a bit of acid. It doesn't matter either way. Oh, it does though. Because as well, as well as what happens to other peppers, is because the cardboard, because it because it's so filled with flavour and stuff. It's not a sponsor! They're not a sponsored. I really like it, because it's so filled. Let me just grab my drink real quick. Sorry. Sorry, keep going. Because it's so filled with flavour and sauce, uh, available all the way from uh mango to that's some good fucking tango. The syrup to water reach is getting there's me.

SPEAKER_03 9:44

Uh because of that, the cardboard sort of sads a bit into it. So when you open it, there's bits of sauce on the cardboard, implying to me there's a there's some sort of connection between board and sauce.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Unlike in a polystyrene sort of if nano's is if is nano's is the only one open, yeah, or if the um kebab house is open but Pepe's is shut, you might instead go to the kebab house.

SPEAKER_02 10:05

It's not polystyrene. So you wouldn't, if it was still on the seam. On the dust on the seam, if it's there's chap dancing on the seam, it's taunting you, quite frankly, with his little poo feet. His little poo vomit feet, he's taunting you. He's rubbing his hands and he's he's he's going, alright, mate. He rubs his hands and then does that and then he goes, Yeah, exactly. I think they do do that. They do. I feel like they do do that. It's part of why I hate it. I find it quite sweet when they rub their hands. No, it's gross. But they're just like fucking bit of shit for me to get involved with, boy. Oh, it's really so they're looking forward to it. You know what's on there. Yeah, the fucking flavour. They're having a great time. It's quite it's endearing. It's not endearing. I think you're more disgusted by flies rubbing their hands than you care to admit. I think you think it's cool to eat flies. You're the sort of kid that would eat flies in year six. You're clearly going on the attack here. Very thinly veiled. My heart is beating. So you so you wouldn't?

SPEAKER_03 11:01

I think I'd I'd certainly remove if there's any like chicken touching it, I'd certainly remove those.

SPEAKER_02 11:05

I'd throw them at the paw. Don't that's fair in Waitros. I don't think you would eat it. I think if you saw a flag of it's already putting me off, it's already putting me off each. And it then lands on, say it's fully open, and it lands on clearly one piece of chicken, I think the whole thing is gone to you. I cannot see you eating that.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

No, I think the modern me gets rid of that.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

It's it's it's that island, whatever is in that island. Okay. So that bit of chicken, that bit of sauce, that bit of rice. I'll see you go scoop.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

Yeah, and then maybe one on each.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

Because if you imagine like a sort of dendril thing, yeah, like the fly's not dendrelling in your food, though. I'm talking about like a web, like a scientific data web. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Of like, the closer you get, the darker it is. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what that's that sort of thing. Yeah. I'd go like one or two removed from the impact point. Wow. But then the rest I can have.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Fair. The worst thing that's ever happened to me with flies, it was um please don't watch this by the way while you're having your dinner. Just don't watch it. That's fair. Just click off. Well, give me a minute to click off. Yeah, okay. Thank you for staying around. Carry on. Flies, maggots, goodness. Uh, you know, the worst that's happened to me with flies was it was like a family meal.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

It was at my now deceased step-grandfather's 70th birthday. Womp womp. Rip. Um, and there there they were posh.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

So they had like, it was a 70th, they had like a local opera singer come downstairs. Oh my god. I know, it was all a bit wanky. A bit of a bit waitrose. It was incredibly waitrose. That was my waitrose gift card. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

And they had um my stepdad's my best stepdad's best mates uh is a chef. Okay. And he was there doing like a sort of subway style choose your own. Oh wow, that's cool. Really cool. Very cool. Brought a pizza oven. I think he's a pizza chef as well, right? So everyone was choosing their ingredients, but it was outside in the summer.

SPEAKER_03 12:55

So they had to think they're like peppers out. In like in like a plastic lid, but the plastic lids weren't being used. Yeah. You know, all gloves were off, literally. It was on his weekend, right? And the stuff was just landing in the in the peppers and the peppers. That was bad. Oh, yeah, what you want some cheese? Oh, yeah. Oh, quit getting it.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

Yeah, that's bad. Mmm. It's cooked.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Yeah, it's cooked, but it doesn't matter. I've seen it.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

I don't think you would eat at a one hygiene rating restaurant. I don't think you've got it in you. Ah. I think you do. It's an insult. I think because I can't see it.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

It's not visual.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

If you said to me I saw a fly on that, that'd be one a dick move. I would though. Would you? Funny. Would you tell me? I'd also probably lie about it and say that it was on there. If I was extra hungry If I was sitting extra hungry and you had like a really tempting bit of pizza, I'd go, Oh, you're gonna eat the fly bit? That's really big, honestly. That's so big. You'd praise me. Yeah, that's so good. Yeah, no, honestly, mate, have that fly bit. The bit that the fly stood on and went and then went and then rubbed it on the pizza. If you're gonna eat that, mate, that's brilliant. That's such a step forward. I'd have to call your bluff, though. You'd accidentally therapise me. Maybe. You'd make me a better man and not eat it. On exposure, you I'd expose myself to you. I'd expose myself to you and I'd steal your pizza. Okay. Which I think is fair. No, that is fair.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

No, fair enough. Yeah, but I I I I have to play it by ear, ultimately. Sometimes it bothers me more than other times. Different types of fly as well.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Fruit flies are a bit annoying, whereas obviously we're both talking about the massive Just the big boys. Yeah, green bottles as well, horse flies.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

Oh yeah, oh yeah, that they're like, yeah, their own thing. All the death. Yeah, spray groom. I um I went to London recently, and this is the one thing that was in my notes. Cool. Right? It was gonna be natural than I thought. I'll reference what we said earlier. So I wrote one thing in my notes. Oh, read the read when I went. I had a fantastic said. No, because it leads into that.

unknown 14:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

So I had a fantastic uh time away. I went and saw Le Miz for my birthday. Yeah. I cried. I cried. Yeah. Sat down. It's when, and you'll know the you'll know the moment. Did you go to the theatre? It's like once a week. It's not once a week.

SPEAKER_03 15:09

Last week you talked about going to see um come what may that one.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

Moulin Rouge. Yeah, and that was like four months ago. You're always bad about going to see Frozen 2. I'd love to see Frozen, I'd love to see Frozen 1 in theatre. Frozen 1 was really good. Yeah, I know you said. That's the one I've seen. You know your mate that's read one. Yeah. Oh, Harry Potter, have you talked about that? That's mine, 1984. I read 1984, it took me three years at uni. And it was great. Um, yeah, so when I saw Lame is, yeah, cried. Yeah. So good. It's a bit where Epine dies in the arms of Marius. Oh, and he's going, come on. No, that's still Moulin Rouge.

SPEAKER_04 15:40

Love you.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

Yeah, that's still Moulin Rouge. A single tear. No, I was like, I wasn't weeping. I've cried more. I literally the first note in The Lion King than this. That does, yeah. No, it was the the lighting. Anyone who's seen Lame Is. It was technically good. Got it. Yeah. The lighting, yeah, the sound design, the orchestra. Speakers were phenomenal. It was the best show I've ever seen. They can play violence. All the note. I assume so. They're all in there in the pit. The best show I've ever seen in my life. It was if you are in London and you like theatre, lame is. That's your one. It's so good. Now you've worded it tactically like I dislike theatre.

SPEAKER_03 16:18

I don't dislike theatre.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

No, I was speaking to those that like theatre. And I don't dislike, so you're talking to me then.

SPEAKER_03 16:23

I don't like theatre.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

But your the ab its ability to make you win. They must laugh at you.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

They must go, oh, there's the goblin with one eye. No, lots of people when when this all happened, I hear people go. Well, they're laughing. No, people were laughing. Oh no. Shit. No. No, no, no. No, people were crying. Really? Around me, people were like going and like wiping away tears. Oh, it was emotional. And I knew what was happening. Yeah. And I knew it was coming. Have you seen it before? I've seen the movie multiple times. I've seen the like 25th anniversary show multiple times. Yes. Okay. Well, it's being in person. The voices are better. Classic singers. Ethnically better. I really like Russell Crow and Jackman in it. But they're not as good as West End singers, which I'm sure they'd probably say the same. It was the lighting was, I I keep saying about it, it was striking in so many ways. I've never seen the show utilise lighting how they did.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

And they're like, because one thing that surprised me when I went to see Frozen, I took my um trying to think if my second nephew was born yet. I can't remember. Anyway, definitely took my niece, and I think one nephew. Okay. So age at the time, sort of seven and eight, six and eight, something like that, right? Uh to see Frozen.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

And it was at the West End. And I was pleasantly surprised. I was seeing Frozen as Cinema, but on DVD or whatever. And I quite like it. It's alright.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Yeah, yeah. Not that into it, right? But at the West End, it was fantastic. It's a very different experience seeing people do it in person as well. Very good.

SPEAKER_00 17:50

But there's a bit where she's, you know, during Let It Go, where the dress changes.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

She sort of does that, and then the lights go zhaboom. And then suddenly she's wearing the pure white dress instead of vice versa.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

And the crowd went and I ermit. It's really cool. Yeah. It was cool. It was cool. I think it's like more high-tech than I thought it would be. It's very cool seeing how much they will change, like or how how well they utilize the space and the tech that they've got available to them to make the show work. Very impressed. Overall, absolutely adored it. So when I was going around, um going around, I was there for like two days, um, did all this. Do you want to know the one big takeaway? The thing that I wrote in my notes. You told me it was three words. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Uh, from going to see London, I think it was like annoyed at audience. Because someone Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

I would be that kind of person. He wheeled out, make a wish, Michael. Oh, and his bald head was gleaming, and I could see it in the front row. Throw it in the light. Lighting was positively, there's like a spotlight that goes into my eyes. To your right. I feel like a dick. Yeah, exactly. They're about to sing come what may you say go. Well, they're not, because it's not Willem Roof. They're throwing in stars. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's Messendorma.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

And then all the silence, you could hear a pin drop, then you just hear from Maker Witch Michael.

SPEAKER_02 19:11

Shut up! Imagine that! All right, quiet. Boo. Um uh I was saying buchemia. So I wrote in my notes. I was saying third-degree defense. Um I I put in my notes Londoners are rude. Did you? Fucking hell. I honestly I was saying this to our lovely northern cameraman that it I it it blew my mind. And you'll think that I'm saying this because I lived up north for like a year now. That three weeks is off. Not three weeks. Um and not quite three weeks. It's been about like a year and a half, technically, but it's inside of my house. And I honestly thought that it was a big exaggeration from northerners that the south is like cold and like full of, you know, the the the the atmosphere, the attitude is very isolationist, it's very, I'm doing my thing, you get out of my way, blah blah blah. Is it more because you've been away from it, been away from it? I think so, yeah. And I honest to God, I was like gobsmacked at the change of vibe between a northern city, if it's Manchester, if it's Liverpool, if it's Chester, it was again stuff sort of near me, if it's them, and like people's attitudes when like you're on public transport, when you're like in a shop, if someone's trying to help you, if you're just trying to get somewhere, whatever. The attitudes of people, and then compare that to London. London was fucking soulless and like drab. People were just sad. Just they're all being grey, and it was grey. Yeah, they're all being just it was a it was emotion, you know, but the vibe is grey. Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

I've got a feeling that is why the West End is seen as so good. Maybe if you've been walking through like Walthamstow train station, yeah, and then suddenly you're presented with uh let it freeze.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

Oh my god. In other words, yeah, yeah. To just come to life yourself. Yeah, and you'll think, come what may, I'm leaving this place wherever I fucking can. For may. I um what may, I'm not making any very good. I was baffled. Do you think that this divide exists? And you've not been up north like as much. Yeah, no, I I I like being up north, but then I But when you go to London, have you noticed because you're still you're still southern of yourself, your southern Midlands, East Midlands-y.

SPEAKER_03 21:28

No, I know, but I I yeah yeah, sort of, but then I quite like the isolation. We discussed it before, mate.

SPEAKER_02 21:34

Yeah. I I like the isolation. But so do I. You know me. I don't like to talk to people out and about. As a person who I'm absolutely I will not talk to people out and about.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

I mean, it's customer service. If customer service is good, as in do they actually care to help you?

SPEAKER_02 21:47

And that is what I've found the big difference is that people actually give a shit. When I was like, you're if you're like in a TK Maxx or something up north or whatever, and you're like, this is actually a big example, for some reason I packed my like backpack. I put in like jumpers, put in pants, socks, whatever. I didn't pack any t-shirt. I like skipped them. One of the probably the most vital steps. You're on this one. Not after you've got a stain on it. No. Cole asked me before we start recording if we could notice his stain. Where is it? And you tactically folded. I haven't tactically folded. That's my body that's tactically folded. That's my man. That's your roles. But there, there. Look at that. Yeah. There's a nod. There's a nod from Mike the camera and is going, yeah. Very good. Good zoo. Good zoo. Yeah. It's got a cameraman. That's exciting. I I like. So Mike, shout out Mike. Shout out is the ultimate professional. When we were doing the stuff we would talk about, uh, I I nary saw a smile. Narry a smile. But it didn't come across as it came across as I'm gonna record. You're doing your job, boys, I'm doing mine. Exactly. So my so my my my mission for this podcast, we've got about 35 minutes left at some point to make Mike go. Mike did laugh earlier. Did he? He's actively sleeping. Yeah, Mike did laugh earlier, yeah. I don't remember, but I remember thinking, fucking got him. Was it me? No, it was me. It was it really you know don't be that guy. Oh man. I got Mike. Your turn to get Mike. Okay. It's yours, okay, yeah, it's on you. Um yeah, we ended up um uh yeah, like going around London and everything, and just like I I ended up then going to TKMS, try to get myself two t-shirts. I should wear one of the t-shirts under this. Look at this. Nice like thick cotton t-shirt. Very nice. I'm gonna get some sauce on it. Please don't. It's white. It's a white t-shirt, yeah. Um and I um went in there and I went and found sure. I am. Well, I went t-shirt shopping. Um and I uh found these t-shirts, went and paid for them, and when I was at the till, and I got there, and very naturally I said, Oh morning, you're alright. Yeah. And she just went, Oh, she actively disrefied I actually thought in my head, you dickhead. You bitch. You fucking bitch. Fuck you. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. And I just thought, like, that's actively rude. It wouldn't affect my day, but I'd think, okay then. Yeah, literally, I was just like, oh. Yeah, exactly. Right, that's odd. What? And then um she like uh put them uh like folded them, whatever. She said, Oh, do you want a bag? And I was like, Oh yeah, yes, please. So she puts them in the bag. Um, and then I'm just sort of like standing there, and then uh she goes, pay. And it on the thing, she'd seen I had my phone out, like ready to pay, and she and she'd already put it through. And I was just standing there. Call her bluff. I said, I said she asked me in the opposite way.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

So if you don't know about Liverpool, like uh so um if anyone didn't see last week's episode, missing out by the way, or two weeks ago's episode. Uh you were talking about how Liverpool was sort of really friendly. Very. And if they like, how are you? and they mean it.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

Genuinely give a shit. Yeah. I say call their bluff, go, oh, it's been a really simple. See how long you can stretch them. Yeah. Do the opposite of her pay. How? How? I don't know how. Or if she oh yeah, and I go, oh no, cash, please. And she cancels it and I go, oh no, card, actually. She has to redo it. I go back to it. And then I pat my pockets and go, oh, sorry, no, it is cash. And then she like changes it again and I get my phone and go, oh no, it is card.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

And then you go, wait, oh no, actually, I do have the American Express. Do you you know you don't? You know they don't take it.

SPEAKER_02 25:00

Oh no they don't take it. Do you take it? I go, no. Oh, that is tough because I do have the money. Yeah. I guess I'll do cash then. Cancels it again. Goes to do cash and I go, I've got my phone in home, so I go. Oh, you do cash, do you? Yeah, cool. I've got uh yen. Imagine she then calls my buff and goes, yeah, alright. Bark at me and again. I left me again and dollars at home. I've only got 14.5 billion. Classic faux pas. Yeah. Um but yes, and I just sort of like that was obviously actively brewed. I also then went into a very nice little Japanese shop and they were so kind, really, really cool. They gave me like a little shot of sake for doing a customer review of a peeler. They gave you alcohol. They gave me a shot of sake to review a vegetable peeler. You live in a fairy tale. I do. Well, honestly, you do. Well, I bought I went in there to buy some uh mayonnaise, and then they said to me, Oh, do you want to review a peeler for some sake? I said, that sounds great. They made this peeler themselves. Uh why why were they so attached to the word peeler bit? I don't know, because I then said, they were like, oh, it's for a company that wants to like, well, we want to figure out stuff we want to stock in our shop. It was clearly like a locally owned shop. Right. We want to figure out stuff we want to stock in our shop, so could you um actually review this? Yeah, genuinely review, yeah, yeah. I slated this pila. Shit. Was it really actively wallowed? Wobbbly. Wibbly wobbly. It was like, it was, have you seen the pillars that are sort of like it's pure it's only metal, so it's not a comfortable grip. Yeah, yeah, okay. Only metal, but sort of like a kind of like a like a band of metal. So it's like, imagine it's like a not a metal wire, but like a thick bit of metal that goes like that. That's that's like a long U-shape. Yeah, the U-shape rather than the fatter one. It's then got then that bit of the top. But it goes through the tendril like that shape. Like it, like that. No, it's also got then the normal bit at the top. I'm purely talking about the handle. Basically, the handle's uncomfortable. Okay. The peeler itself, the top bit, look, it looked really cool. Uh-huh. So I've rated it highly on looks. She then handed me a carrot and said, peel this. Why didn't I put this in my notes?

SPEAKER_03 27:08

This often happens to me. Like, this often happens to you. The other week you told me a nothing story about the wedding fair that you went to, which went you went to a wedding fair for 50 minutes of content. And they said, Oh, by the way, we went into a pub where we couldn't use electronics. I wasn't even mentioning this. Like, what are you on about? That's the source of your story. You went into a pub that doesn't allow any electronics. That's all that matters. I don't give a shit about your shitty wedding. Whereas now, right, I mean, I don't give a fuck about what they mean is.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

That's fair. Talk to me about peelings, go. I mean, I'm so locked in, I'm still peeling a carrot. So this because you handed me a carrot that had already been pre-peeled a bit by other people, by the patrons. It was one carrot per day. It must have been, because it was a bit like squidgy. There was this peanut that it was not good. Honest to God, I then I then thought, okay, I'm just gonna um act out peeling it. I didn't act out, I thought I'm gonna peel a carrot. You can act it out. I didn't say this to her, but I thought it in my head, I thought. What do I do with this carrot in my top class? So I then peel this carrot, it like gets stuck, it then sort of goes like that, and it's like a bit loose, and I'm like, fucking hell, what's the hacking? I then look at her and I go, This is rubbish. Yeah. And she goes, she then goes, and so I think she knew it was a bit of shit. I put it down, she hands me a paper, she goes, Hey, if you can review it. I was like, usability. Two. Out of and uh five. Okay, yeah, two out of five. The look of it was cool, it had like a really cool like metal lip that kind of went like it was like a nice like bit of like um uh design or whatever, like a cool thing on it. And then I literally wrote on this like my PR I bought for like, I don't know, five quid or whatever, and it is infinitely better than this one. I was actually disappointed. And then they said, This would cost£25. How much would you pay? I shit you not I put a fiver. But I said I would pay five pounds for this, and it would have to be reduced to five pounds for me to consider it.

SPEAKER_03 28:50

Now I promise I'm not being weird with this.

SPEAKER_01 28:54

Okay. Was it a bit like a katana? Sorry? Bear with me. There's I'm not that's why I'm saying I'm not just being weird at it. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 29:04

Have you seen the video of like a sensei chopping the bamboo? Getting people who don't know how to use it to try it, and they go like a core of the way through the bamboo. Yeah. And then all the effort, you know, big guys and it gets like stuck in the first one. Yeah, and then and then, you know, your man, 80 years old, yeah, in his in his dressing gown with his stick. I think it's like a robe, sorry, sorry, quite an important robe. Some of his beard, like his long beard, like that. And white mustache.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

There's nothing to it. Yeah. You know? And he just goes, and it just goes, was it like that?

SPEAKER_02 29:37

If he'd have walked in and peeled your carrot, would it have just unsheathed business? And I but if it's if I need to be a peeling master to use a peeler, I blame the peeler. I see your point. I just point. But you do it does exist a market for the expertise thing. Yeah, but they would just use a normal peeler. That's fair.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

If you just want a wet blood up, you don't want to use a katana that might bounce off blood.

SPEAKER_02 30:01

Yes. If you want to use a uh sort of shiver sauce. I don't know what that sentence meant. Wet blood up. I don't know what that bit means. You're saying words, but I I'm Have you not seen Tot Boy? No. Okay, what do you think wet blood up means? Wet blood up? Like a wet man. Oh, isn't that like someone who cleans up the bodies? No, is that a different thing? Uh and there might be a wet a wet man as an adjective. But the verb a wetman. Oh wet man. But to wet man is to stab man. Because you are wetting them with their blood. Interesting.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

But that that might, I mean, that was in Top Boy, which was two years ago now. So maybe now they're like, oh well make you need to be mopped fan.

SPEAKER_02 30:42

Oh, so it's still like the wet, like my mind. I need to think of something better, you know, I'll I'll stab Classic. Katana Rides. Keep it classic. Yeah, lock it in. Everyone knows what that means. I'd need to Top Boy it. It's my favourite site. I'd I'd ruin the WhatsApp where they're being really secretive about what they're gonna do to like a rival mob boss. And I'd just say, Oh, we're stabbing him. And they go, oh fucking shit. Shut up. The Nair and I watched a show. Yeah. Uh it's called It's a recent Netflix show. It's called The Beast in Me. Oh, Beast Games. It's called The Beast in Me. On Disney? And it's Amazon Prime. And it features every seen The Americans, the show The Americans. No. Okay, I'm gonna show you an actor. A character, right? I can't remember his name. His name is Philip from the Americans. Philip DeFranco. Shut up. He's an American. Is he Canadian? Philip the American. So it features. Hey Google. This guy. You seen you seen him? Who the hell is that? He's an actor who does acting. You ever seen this guy before? Genuinely not once in my life. Matthew Reese. No, he's shaking his head. Me and Mike have we got the same Netflix. Me and Mike share a Netflix. He's like a sort of 40-year-old bloke-looking. He looks like Macaulay Colkin's brother, but older. Kieran Colkin from Succession. Yeah. I guess he could be in that family.

SPEAKER_03 32:01

So in this show, he is a he's like a rich property developer.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Okay. Right? And there's rumors that he murdered his wife. And from the office, he's very intense. Like he meets our protagonist and he's like, right, you're coming with me to get some food. The lady will have, hey, the lady will have this. Gotcha, okay. Takes a secret photo of him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

And he goes, sorry, one second, the person he's taken to lunch. And he's like, there's your phone for a second. And slams it on the table. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

And then his bodyguard comes over and presumably gives them 50 quid for an NDA. Gotcha. Okay, yeah, yeah. And the whole thing, did he murder the child or not? Spoilers, Freddie was not seeing the beast in me. We quite enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_00 32:34

But the main character, she's an author. Okay. And she's right, he convinces her to write a book about him. Okay. Because she's like, you need to write about me, I'd be a great topic.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Okay. Right. And she gets closer and closer, you know, it gets more dangerous. You can imagine how it's going, right? She meets an FBI guy, and he's like, right, here's a burner phone. Yeah. Or I've got a burner phone. Contact me if you need to reach me, right?

SPEAKER_03 32:53

And then a couple of episodes in, she sort of finds out some dodgy stuff about the main character. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

And she says, um, whatever the guy's name, Detective uh Johnson or whatever. She's like, Hi, Detective Johnson. Just found out that Philip did stab.

SPEAKER_03 33:07

Call me when you can. Send.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Yeah. And then she leaves like a voice note. Oh my god. And it's like, oh make sure you got my message about Philip Didstab. I've got loads of info.

SPEAKER_03 33:20

Actually, speaking of info. Uh, yeah, I found a secret book. It's under his under his safe that I broke into while he was out.

SPEAKER_02 33:28

Don't tell him. Don't tell him. And then guess who here's that next time? Anyway, off to my home at 997 Smith Avenue. I'll be out. Everyone will be out between 9 and 10 day.

SPEAKER_03 33:39

Don't let anyone know.

SPEAKER_02 33:40

My door will be unlocked. It's unlocked door Fridays in my neighbourhood. Yeah, so she sends that message. And I'm let's the let's say we're enjoying the chat. I literally go, Oh my god, you dumb bitch. Did it come like a miter? Guess. Guess who heard the message? It was a bloody Phillip. It was bloody Phillips. Just before like, so one way or another, again, spoilers, the FBI guy dies. Wonder how that happens.

SPEAKER_01 34:06

And Philip's about to throw away his phone, all his stuff, and the phone rings. He answers it, doesn't say anything. And it's her going, Oh, hi there, Detective Jackson.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

Uh, just to let you know, yeah, no, I did find that evidence. I got it onto his laptop with the USB stick. It's it's in my house. See you later. Bye. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 34:29

Oh, and what throws it away.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Yeah, well, he texts her saying, um, saying sit sit tight, because he she doesn't know it's him, she's the FBI agent. She he texts her saying, like, sit tight and I'll get back to you.

SPEAKER_02 34:40

Send throws the phone into the river. And I'm just there going, Is that like end of season? No, that was halfway through. Oh my goodness. It's a really good show, but that that like That'd be me. I'd do talking about again? Um wet blood up. Me's the me saying stab. I'd say, hi. No, no, no, no, no. If you texted, you'd say, yeah, you know, he did wet blood up his wife. And then and then he's thinking, well, I know that means stab. Because what else have I publicly done to my wife? I think it's code. It's not caught me rhyming slang. It's just slang, it's just the evolution of language. They don't say it because they don't think To be secretive. No, I don't think the policeman, he's not looking like it's not like sleeping with the fishes. Don't tell blood, but I've wet man up. And people's like, what was that? Could be anything. Sounds like he took him to the swimming pool. Yeah, something like that. So I'm sure they just went for a couple of laps.

SPEAKER_01 35:31

But yeah, so anyway, to go back again and re-watch.

SPEAKER_02 35:33

Your Pila. Oh yeah, the Pila. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:35

A guitar Pila.

SPEAKER_02 35:37

Uh no. No. Oh, okay. Um the mayonnaise, though. Oh, so good. So good. Q P mayo. QP mayo? Q P mayo. Speaking Japanese. Q P mayo. Um, there's like K-E-W-P-I-E mayonnaise. Q P. Q P. But it sounds like it's two letters. Yeah, yeah. Q Pai, maybe? Q Pie. Um is it a Japanese brand? Yes. Okay. Japanese mayo. Goodness gracious. It's do you like mayo? You're not big on mayo. Not big on mayo. Yeah. It's rich. It's like you can taste like the egg yolks in it. It's like it's so rich. Any QP fans out there will know. It the best mayo I've ever had.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

Is it the is it the leader of the egg-based sauces? Or if you will, the mayonnaise.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

The mayonnaise.

SPEAKER_01 36:24

The mayonnaise.

SPEAKER_02 36:27

Maya. The mayonnaise. Oh, the mayor of Mays.

unknown 36:33

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:34

I've just wasted that on you. That was good. I'm thinking they say like the cream of the crop.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

Is it the cream of the crop or if it's the mayornays?

SPEAKER_02 36:40

It's good. I like that one. Teamwork. That was better. And yeah, so Londoners are rude. Yeah, no, that's. Which is a shame. That's fair. At least man didn't get blooded up or didn't get wetted up or when he didn't. That's true. I saw uh did you see the Super Bowl? Anyway, the halftime show I'm sorry. I saw the halftime show with Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny. And I saw. Did you see the American America First Trump halftime show? No, I mean we're gonna at some so at some point we need to watch that. That was in my notes the week that that happened. Yeah. And I we fucking I didn't know what the fuck we spoke about instead. But for some reason we just didn't talk about the Super Bowl. I probably spent half an hour trying to explain a pun to you. Yeah, probably. Um yeah, I saw the American the America First part of the halftime show. Yeah. It was dreadful. Really bad. Like, not just that because I'm anti-Trump or whatever, and like I just want it to be shit. It was obviously shit. His brand is anti-Trump. Yeah. Um it's always winking. Yeah. Fish unofficially is always anti-Trump. But pro-fascist, how does that work? Um so it was like it was Kid Rock who could who can barely string a sentence together because he's just probably off his nut on some drugs in some way. If I'm Trump, I wouldn't put a kid on a stage. That's fair. Just put him in your bed instead. If I'm Trump, I would put a kid on a stage. It all makes sense. Um and yeah, they he it was like pre-recorded, and he's like singing into the mic, and then he clearly gets out of breath or forgets his words, moves it away, and because it's pre-recorded, it just keeps singing. And then it like brings it back, and then there's no difference in what how it sounds. So he does that like eight times in a song, and then he then tweeted off with saying, like, yeah, it was pre-recorded. Um, and uh I was like holding the mic to the crowd. And I was like, Looks like that was the crowd, yes. And we're like, so we know it was pre-recorded. It's because you weren't singing. And he's like, Yeah, I wasn't. It's like, oh, well, we can't really. That's what happens if you fall down together. Yeah, exactly. That's the one if you if you if we disagree on this very obvious fact, we can't go from anywhere now. We suddenly have no common ground. There's nowhere for us to meet. I don't know what to respond to. Yes. The playbook Exactly, that's that's pretty much it. That's pretty much it. But yeah, meanwhile, were they done at the same time? Were they it was a competing halftime show? And I think the America First one had like had like two million viewers or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And then the actual one had like, you know, 300 million viewers or something. I mean, that is something I have always respected about Trump. He is a brilliant bully. Oh yeah, he's a he's a fantastic piece of shit. Sleepy Joe. Great nickname. Of the nicknames of all time. I thought that Trump, seeing as his last name means far, I know, right? Doesn't have a fucking like scathing nickname. No. That's crazy. Yeah. He's like, he's a paedophile. And we don't call him some kind of like pedo-don or something. P don. Allegedly so. Yeah. So pedonphile. The classic word of allegedly so. Allegedly. Unallegedly. I wanted to bring up was the um the halftime show that America had, the real one. The man funny one.

SPEAKER_01 39:41

The man bunny one. Christ knows how many millions of dollars was invested into that. Christ knows how much he was paid. Yep. This whole thing, the whole world's talking about it. You know, they've got the set, he's walking through this maze, and it's all like I saw that.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

It's very Moulin Rouge of itself, very come what made of itself. You don't know what any of those words mean. Jungle Smite, huge as soon as I saw it because of the lighting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:03

And then I saw on Twitter, it wasn't even a comparison to it, but just separately, I saw on Twitter a couple of weeks after. Um, it was like a it was like a British uh halftime show at football, and it was like a mascot trying to score against another mascot.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

Well, do they have those in America? Do they have mascots at Big? Oh, Bigley, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that yeah, they've got like um uh like the animal mascot. So you know how like in you have like the cubs is a team, they would have a cub as their mascot kind of thing. The like Florida like gators or something. They'd have like a big alligator fella. I consider that to be more American than British, to be fair. Pretty much so. I think I'd say so.

SPEAKER_03 40:39

Is there a different level of seriousness in which they take themselves though? Like is the gator a mean gator?

SPEAKER_02 40:44

I think it's quite cartoony and bubbly. Is that the same? I think it's quite bubbly, from what I can tell. Because they're meant to like, they'll then sell merch of the gator, and it'll then be like for kids that have like a little gator toy and whatever else. So I think they're pretty like jovial and like fair enough. Well that's so I mean, so that's okay, the comparison there, but like the one I saw it was, I don't know, it was it was like because Bristol Rovers have got they're called the gas for some reason. I don't know why. The gas. They're called the gas. So they've got a little gas. Is it because it was an oven? Um I think it might be an oven, it might be an air fryer. That's incredible. And then to modern that's so funny, we're modernizing. Yeah, Bristol Rovers like slipping down. I don't know why they're called Bristol, pro Bristol Rovers. We're slipping down and then they modernize and go, introducing air fryer. This is the bloke with a removable drawer. A bit star get us up to championship. I don't know what well, I don't know what will. But yeah, he like took a penalty against another mascot, missed, into the crowd, going, Whee! Call me the oven and wanker. Call the oven of wanker. Oh, that's hard. I've seen the um uh the there's the thought that they're gonna introduce halftime shows into the World Cup now that it's in the US. Cringe US style. Actual US style ones. You're caught us, aren't they? They're saying there'll be a mandatory break, which basically is time for adverts. Yeah. Um because when it was in uh in various countries, ruining vests, they also like they don't do the national anthems of like uh teams unless it's the obviously the international events and stuff, right? Because then it makes sense. In America, before sporting events, no matter who's playing, the US anthem plays. They do the US anthem. You see Yeah, it's locked in, right? We don't do that because it would get booed. Yeah. Because it's funny. Oh, I see, it's a booed British one. It's funny. You're in Liverpool as well, like yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, I'm scout's not British. Well, I'm scout's not English. Good for you, man. Good for you. Born the red. So um I hope that when they do these half-time shows, I want them full lean into it. Make them as American as possible. Okay, I agree. There's no point half-arsing it and trying to make it to appeal to an English crowd, for example, because the English crowd will hate it regardless. Yeah, yeah. But you may as well make it appeal to the people that already like it and make it make it really American, make it cringe. F-32 jets or 42, whatever it is. Yeah, if they're flying over. Exactly. If you've if they've not lost all of them in Kuwait by that point, then maybe have a couple of them fly over the World Cup. Yeah. I think they may as well go as American as they can with it. Just just just on the stadium. Oh. But in a sort of patriotic way. Oh, okay. Put some like uh put some like dye in the explosions. That also's like red, white, and blue. Yeah. Oh, that'd be nice. I'm excited for the World Cup though. World Cup yeah. I didn't even factor in that we're so close to the World Cup Cup yeah. Until like when I played football the other day, and I was like oh, it's a World Cup in a couple of months. I'm like, I'm a clubman. That's been true. You are a clubman, yeah. You know, when the World Cup rolls around, you're gonna be chucking your plastic pint about. So good. Or are you above that? I bet you're above that. What what hang on, sorry, we'll see. Tell me your thoughts on that. Why? I don't want to get sticky. Do you enjoy watching? I think it's so performative. I think that is, yeah, there are, I've seen, it's very funny. I've seen some clips of people from like your generic, you're like, you know, it's in the corner cam of like a uh fuck it, what's the box park or whatever, like a big thing like that? And people will celebrate or go, yeah, and it's all really cool. And then there's like 10 seconds guys who were celebrating, and someone then grabs their beer and just goes and it lulls it over the ground, which in isolation, hilarious. Yes, very funny. What I'd say, but yeah, go on. I I just I find it so performative to grab your beer that you spend what seven pounds on or whatever. Oh well in a plastic cup as well. So you can't even. Probably more nine pounds or something. I brought in your own cans. Um be fling it. It looks good. You know the gifts of like it looks cool. I completely get that. Adding to the atmosphere, but I think it's so performative to be like, I've completely lost control. Way, beers everywhere. I think it's like, but sometimes you do lose control.

SPEAKER_03 45:05

Sometimes you do lose control. When England scored the 92nd minute or third minute winner against the Netherlands.

SPEAKER_02 45:12

I was in the pub. It was our sub for Aston Villa. Uh I can't remember his name. Harvey Elliott? No. He plays for Villa now. Cool. Barely gets minutes. Still good. Used to be for Liverpool. Interesting. Good story. Good story. Sorry that I'm trying to get it. Sorry, no, yeah, but I'm saying it's not him. I was trying to say it's not him. Not him. Is he does he play for Villa? Is he Western? I'm scared now. Anyway, we got a nice okay, yeah. We got a 92nd minute winner or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 45:38

And while I was watching that at the festival, so every year. Right? Yeah. They set up a they well, they set up a TV for the football, and a load of people also, this is interesting, I want to discuss this as well. Now I think about it. A load of people. Nice one. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 45:50

Thank you. A load of people, uh Watkins, it was Ollie Watkins. Ollie Watkins, yes, I remember. He scored the goal. And a load of people at the festival, by the way, when they said we're gonna have one um like tenth, that's like five tenths or so, one tenth is gonna have a telly on it or a project and watch.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

Yeah, loads of the regulars were like, Oh, I don't want football fandom. If you can't go four days about football, why are you coming to a festival?

SPEAKER_04 46:12

It should be about the music.

SPEAKER_02 46:14

England are playing. It kind of transcends everything. It does a little bit. It does. And that's fine. Yeah, yeah, right. That's just part of it. And it's not like the whole festival shut down. No. If they said so we're gonna for two hours replace the main stage with a football screening instead, then that's bad. That's fair. I think that'd be cool. But as a person who has always loved international football, I think that'd be great. Throw some beer. Yeah, but I would get that. But they're not the same. We're gonna have this corner dedicated to the football. Yeah, we're to be annoyed. But anyway. Everyone hated them, everyone hated them. But yeah, when that happened in that environment, I think we'd gone behind, or they'd equalize recently. Netherlands scored first. Yeah, exactly. We we we equalise, and the 92nd minute winner, you're at a festival, sun stroke probably happened.

SPEAKER_03 46:55

Yeah. You've got your at that festival, you can bring in, they let you bring in anything fast. You can bring in your cans.

SPEAKER_02 46:59

I'm sipping all my fruity ciders like a real man. So sticky as old. You're sending sticky cider everywhere. I'm not saying that I threw my cider can. The whole can in the back of someone's head and just open. You get a fresh dude. One minute, rock and roll. Oh, new box. Club of someone to death with a stellar. Dumb. But no, um, people do throw like the final bit of cans. I'm not as into cans because it's metal at the land. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but when it happened, we did lose control. Like you're standing up, you're jumping about, you're hugging strangers.

SPEAKER_03 47:35

That's fun. I love that. I love that. Yeah. Brilliant.

SPEAKER_00 47:37

If someone ends up going, ah, like that, that's acceptable.

SPEAKER_02 47:40

That's more than acceptable with a plastic can. Well, plastic. Yeah. Receptacle. I'd still just think you could do all of the fun bit. Yeah. The fun bit is the hugging, the jumping, that yeah, whatever. Because I watched that same game in a pub and it was brilliant. Yes. With a throwing glasses? Didn't throw any glasses. I got a smaller shot glass. I had a bucket full of shot glasses, and I was whipping them at pensioners. Yeah, it was great. But someone not quite reading the room. I could get involved in this. Um alien trying to understand football. We watched it with a friend of ours who is um Dutch, and he wore an orange, very orange Dutch top orange of a J to the English. Orange of a J. And actively, when Netherlands scored first, cheered and jumped and screamed, and it was brilliant. Because everyone was booing him, and everyone's like, fuck you, in a fun way, it's like a boo and whatever. And then being really annoyed. Kick him. And then England scored. Yeah. Everyone, who even if they didn't know him, turned around and went, whoa! And like flipped him off, and they were like jumping and cheering in his face. He took it very well because he was like, I've instigated it. Yeah. I obviously deserve to get it back. Very good. And then when it then came to the end, um, England obviously ended up winning. Yeah. Um, he was devastated, and then everyone was like cheering and shouting in his face. And at the end, he went to the bar for another drink, and people were pounding on the back being like, ah, that's still a really good game. Genuinely, like, if I could isolate how a football rivalry should be in a generic pub environment, I would take that microcosm and extend it across the land. That's where we differ. I want a little bit of edge. No bit of edge. At football, I want a bit of edge. In the ground, I get that more. Yeah. Because you're in person, you're watching. I see also. Let's talk about threats. I think fine. I don't want because a lot of people be like, oh, Liverpool, Everton Dub is great. They walk alongside. I don't want to walk alongside. I wouldn't want to walk alongside a Norwich fan to a Norwich Ipswich game. I get that. I think that's fair. Doesn't mean I'm going to punch them. Sure. But it does mean that if I lose to Norwich, I don't want to see that person for two days. Yeah. I think that one of the, and I said it before. See a Wolves fan for two days now. Meet you with the 90th minute. Well, we're going to knock him out of the FA Cup. Because he plays them like in two days. Basically, may as well just stay in Birmingham. Double Wolves. May as well just stay in Birmingham at this point. You've put on their pack at this point. I know, right? Um, I think that getting in a in a physical fight over football is the lamest thing a sports fan can do. Getting annoyed is part of it. Yeah. Being emotionally invested in anything, in your in your hobby, your love, your enjoyment, is great. And that is something to be celebrated. And meaning it as well. Like, fuck you, and meaning it in that way within the realms of your personality. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But as long as it's not abusive, as long as it's not, I'll fucking stab you off the thing. Exactly, yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because I've had that when I who there's um uh EFL Cup match and me and my fiance watched it in Anfield, right, and we were like on the kind of the cornery bit, and then over the You're on the corner flag gap. You were just standing there on the corner flag. Great sweet. I've not got to see you. Um with the the flag up inside the second. Um then over the uh like kind of the walkway gap bit was then all of the Spurs fans. Yeah. And oh my god, they were getting so tilted, I couldn't help but laugh at them. It was they were there was like there was like a group of like six like lads that are like, I don't know, like 18 years old, just taking the piss out of these 50-year-old blokes. We scored like four goals or something in that game, and um uh they started off, we had like an offside, whatever. So they got really leery, and then we then scored and then like shouted back and stuff. Yeah when it got to the third goal, they were shouting shit at um Liverpool fans. Liverpool fans just laughing at them, really literally not even insulting, just going because if he's because the thing is both parties know it's not real. Yeah, it's gonna want to fucking stab you off the game. They know they're not gonna be. No, no, no, no, because it's weird. The ones laughing at it, they're like thinking he's not really gonna stab me after the game. Yeah. That's why I think the implied social contract of you won't stab me.

SPEAKER_03 51:44

Say it, you're annoyed, I'm here, it's my it's my win. Yeah, say you're gonna stab me, we're all friends. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:49

But it was it was honestly, it was so funny. Then them like they got so agitated. Yeah, so there was a bloke with his like 10-year-old son, and his 10-year-old son was like, Oh my god, I can't believe it. And his dad was like screaming threats, and then um then there was some some weird racism happened, and it was like, Well, you've now gone too far. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, okay, with everyone goes home, you've ruined it. You've taken it too far and ruined it. Exactly. Yeah, I'm taking my ball and going home. Yeah, very fairly. And then um uh yeah, everyone was just like laughing back at them, and it was like, I you know, when you feel when you have that empathy of that crowd, somebody, if I'm in that position, I'm so tilted. But because I'm not, I love being on this side of the fence.

SPEAKER_03 52:29

It's weird with sport because we work internationally, yeah, but with Americans in particular, and it's like I've watched Ip Switch, and they're probably going, hi, your team getting that. And I'm like, I'm there like sweating, stressed, yeah, and I'm like, oh, it's nil-nil after 60 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 52:42

They go, oh, that sounds boring. And it's like fair enough. It is ultimately as cool. Technically, nothing has happened. Whereas we've watched uh like hockey. Hockey's a cool sport, but like hockey's cool. American football. American football as well, we've watched, and they're like, What's the score? It's like, oh man, we suck today, we're we're nine-seven down. It's like oh well. Yeah, we've still got seven. That feels quite good to me. If I was a New Jersey dolphin, oh my god, I'd be flapping about on land. It's when it's like basketball, and it's like, oh yeah, um, it's you know, 72 to 109, right? So you still scored 72. A lot of celebration. That's loads. That's loads. But then everything, they then score a bucket, which is what you're assuming that they're gonna do. And then you go, all right, that's one more to add to the pile. I know. That doesn't feel as fun as like a 1-0. Basketball is the ultimate which we should do a tier list of sports. What we should do, we should fix every sport. So how would we make it? I think all of them would just sort of essentially become football. No, I disagree. In their scoring, I think they would. We'd fix diving, for example. That's fair. So, for example, for anyone who's like, oh, we're gonna be pro-football and to everything else, we'd fix diving. Well, just like we were very impartial when we did our food, when we did our word list. Exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 53:55

I I think that I mean I don't want to talk about it too as much because I do want to do this for an episode. Yeah. But like for basketball, we'd make the make the hoop a bit smaller. Mm-hmm. Because it's too big. If they're getting they shouldn't be able to get three pointers every time. A few pointers should be rare. And I've heard basketball fans say, I think I've seen it on YouTube, like, basketball is not solved, but it's like, because of like Steph Curry, who just nailed doing that.

SPEAKER_02 54:16

Yeah. They will just do that. And also, there's technically, obviously, you've got the defender in front of you to beat. Yeah. But in football, you've got about four defenders and then a keeper that can, he's OP, he can use his hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big advantage. That is. So what you're saying, that what basket one person on each team that can use their hands. Or they can use their feet. Why not? Have it boots into Rose Ed. Um, yeah, or like in football, meant the goal's smaller, but keeper can't use their hands. So if they get a top corner savers with their red. Oh my god. So they're just like dying into the corners. That'd be great. That would be great. I like that. What I loved about American football, because in the run-up to the Super Bowl, I I watched um an American football match with somebody who knew it. Uh it was his team. He wasn't like sad, but he was like, oh man, I went there for holiday once. I wanted them to win and they didn't, right? But it was fun. Have you ever seen American football? I watched it a very small amount in December in Copenhagen when um uh our friend Dazarin was watching it. Yeah. And I watched it a bit. He's like, oh my god, man, and he's getting straight up. But I watched it and I was like, I I don't get it. There's so much downtime. What that was my big issue. What I liked about it is that there's all the different roles, right? You know, there's there's two teams per team. Yeah, there's like an attacking team and a defending team, wasn't it? Yeah. And the offense and all that, right? But because they've all got their very specific jobs, yeah. So the the kicker, the right back, his job is to make sure the left winger doesn't score. He doesn't care if they're right wing. Not my problem, I don't give a shit. I'm covering I'm doing my I have him. Yeah, I only care about him getting through. So so when I watched it, every time they do their job, and everyone is always doing their jobs, yeah, they do a little dance. They do that.

SPEAKER_01 55:52

So it's like, yeah, the quarterback tries to throw it to the to the star catcher, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:56

The the right back blocks it, yeah, and the right back and two others would go like what? They do a little dance. It's a little dance every time they do anything, like like celebrating like you've scored a goal. So it's like that the line blocker blocks the liner a little a little boogie. But there's so many points that get scored, but does that not get like okay? That was the uh the line blockers 930th block this season. Do the dance ah, it's not a good dance. You drop from the team because they're not sending posters of that. No, it's not that's not going in Fortnite. That's not going to Fortnite anytime soon. Park Fortnite. Okay, well, next next time I can we can then rate sports. Okay, let's do that. Yeah, we'll rate sports. Um that was really fun. That was very good. I enjoyed that immensely. Um, we are in person and I want to do more of these. We both want to do more of these. Yes. It's very good. It was like a what, a three-hour drive for you? Yeah, three hours. Two hours for me. So sort of specials at the time now and then. Yeah, we'll record some bits. Make sure that you keep an eye on this channel because we are gonna be making sure that we release like non-podcasty stuff that is more to do with like us in person. Yeah, we're trying things, we're doing like food stuff, we're doing things in person that are better here compared to if we did it online. That's true. So that is the aim, that is the plan. So make sure you drop a subscribe. If you made it this far, you'd probably like us. It would be really weird if you made it this far and you're like, apart from my cameraman is thinking it was fair enough, but she's paying to be here.

SPEAKER_01 57:23

Yeah, it's true. Apart from here, I mean, if you've made it this far and you're thinking, these kind of not even tosses, but not that good.

SPEAKER_02 57:29

So they get to the end and they go, uh, not for me. I assume it is. At this fucking point, you're thinking, actually, it is for me. Oh, you've gone to sleep, at which point sleep well. And keep it running, keep it onto play. Like a playlist on next time, I reckon. Um but yeah, I've enjoyed it thoroughly. So thank you everybody for watching officially. God, you have both for in person, it's different. No. Unofficially. Thank you. Uh the best podcast on the internet, and we'll do more of these, and they're gonna be very, very fun. Thank you, everyone. Clowning. You're genuinely clowning.
