Go. The work is finally finished on your house.
No. the apprentice uh has finished no uh

Speaker 3 you're having another baby inexplicably god no

Speaker 1 no okay uh my um my the ssd that my windows install was on failed

Speaker 1 completely completely failed i went uh i came into the garage the other day to turn on my computer turned it on it's just stuck at like the you know the motherboard logo screen yeah yeah right before the bios oh, wow, couldn't even get into the BIOS to see what was going on and stuff.

Speaker 1 It was just completely frozen at that point.

Speaker 1 There's an error code on my motherboard, so I looked it up, and it's an error code that suggests there's no boot device available or comes from the boot device. Yeah, so I was like, shit.

Speaker 1 So, I unhooked

Speaker 1 the drive that the computer boots onto, and I was able to get into the BIOS and stuff. So, this SSD just completely, completely failed and was making it hard for me to get into my computer.

Speaker 1 so i had to buy a new one and i had to get a usb stick with a windows install thing on it so i'm on fucking stupid ass windows 11 now oh man i know i'm missing 10 big time but what is it like 11 it's just like it's it's just like fluffy looking you know it's all like uh I don't know, like it kind of looks like you're on a tablet a bit, but it's, you know, like

Speaker 1 the taskbar is all weird and the sounds are all bloopy and different. There's not so many dings now.
It's more like bloops. Bloops and bloops, you know?

Speaker 1 It's always

Speaker 1 needless to say. Fucking piss.

Speaker 1 People think we're living in the future, but this is exactly what happened when it went from Windows, whatever the fuck, to Windows, the fucking, well, you know, we wouldn't upgrade from 95 for ages.

Speaker 1 You know, it's 2000

Speaker 1 garbage or whatever.

Speaker 1 Let's look at what was on offer after 95. Windows 98, which was shitty, and then Windows ME, which was fucking shitty.

Speaker 3 Whoa, whoa, whoa, what about XP?

Speaker 1 As well. XP was great.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 XP was fine, but it came after all those yeah did it I thought X P was in the 90s very much some skippable 2001 Windows flavors yeah XP was fine XP dad still uses XP I think

Speaker 1 a lot of people do I think XP is a solid yeah pretty sure it's used by like uh quite a few banks and stuff still too like it's it is a pretty solid version of a dependable boy it's a dependable boy that's right i don't want to i don't want to upgrade either i'm no i just i'm not ready no i'm not ready to experience the power of uh Windows 11.

Speaker 1 No, or whatever the fuck. And all the blooping, just bloops.
Just like really weird.

Speaker 1 Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, yeah. Oh, God.
So, yeah, so there we go. So it's back up and running, but I've had to reinstall Audacity and some other tools.

Speaker 1 And I had to get my stream set up going again and everything. But I'm there with it.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 I've been back online. Better than ever, I want to say.
I don't want to jinx it, but I haven't had any weird crashes or anything.

Speaker 1 So I guess a lot of my problems were that drive was just in the midst of failing uh over kind of a period of a month or so and then just finally gave up its fight but i i had to go to town and like talk to somebody and like it was awful you know i had to buy a thing and uh it's it's kind of nice going into a computer store and and just saying like exactly what what's happened and exactly what you need like it there wasn't any sort of like uh you know beating around the bush with it you know right there was there's a woman in there behind me who's bringing in a laptop laptop from a deceased relative, and she's like, Oh my god, I need to get this computer running again, and uh, I need you to wipe it and make it functional again.

Speaker 1 I think it's a new computer. I have another computer at home, and I was like, Oh man, she's gonna be here all day.

Speaker 1 Like, you cannot do this, you have to come in here and be like, Yeah, my uh 5392-1 failed, and I'm gonna need, uh, probably gonna need to recombobulate the uh dilithium crystal activator. And uh,

Speaker 1 you know what to do, so just get me the stuff and I'll be on my way. You know, like I was quick.
I was in there like five seconds.

Speaker 3 Here's the problem. Here's how I want it fixed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So

Speaker 1 you bought a one terabyte SSD and a Windows boot drive. I did.
Yeah, how did you know it was one terabyte? Girl side can read your brain. Oh, right.
Okay. Yeah.
What am I thinking about right now?

Speaker 1 Cura Knightly. Yes.

Speaker 1 The movie with a strap hole.

Speaker 1 Really fucking me. It's nice.
Anyway.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, so that's my, that's my, that's my big, you know, you got lose news. I occasionally have some news of my own.
Sips, quits. Like sips, quids, there you go.

Speaker 1 That's my, that's my really uninteresting story of probably the next like month or so. Dang.
Until something else happens.

Speaker 3 Two articles of interest to open with today.

Speaker 1 Number one, Mrs.

Speaker 3 Z has gone to Japan for two weeks with work.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 3 She just had,

Speaker 3 we found out, let me think, what is it today? Thursday. So I think think Monday, she came home and she said, I might need to go to Japan on Wednesday, like morning, earliest flight.

Speaker 3 And I was like, damn. So she basically packed and then she was gone.
Like, so that's it. She's gone for two weeks.

Speaker 1 Lucky, lucky her. Yeah.
A few other of my friends are in Japan right now. Dan, Sophie, Artie came there and they're in Japan.
And you would say that Mrs.

Speaker 3 F should meet up with them.

Speaker 1 No, maybe they're having an affair.

Speaker 1 Oh, she's having an affair with RT.

Speaker 1 With Shigeru. Yeah, she's having a motor.
having a she's got to see the Switch 2 launch. She's like,

Speaker 1 she's trying to bargain them down from those high-ass prices. Everybody's so pissed off.

Speaker 1 Like $499 for a Switch?

Speaker 1 Interesting.

Speaker 1 It's like $90 for Mario Kart or something insane.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, it's going to be even more, though, because I think ahead of all this tariff stuff, they thought, all right, we're just going to get these all manufactured in Vietnam. And

Speaker 1 they announced announced the Liberation Day tariffs yesterday. And I think Vietnam's got like a 50% tariff or something on it.
So I think those switches are going to cost us. It's because

Speaker 1 apparently Trump thinks that it's going to cost a lot of money, but it's not going to cost us a penny.

Speaker 3 These other countries are going to pay them.

Speaker 1 It's going to be a little bit of short-term pain.

Speaker 1 But in the long term, we're going to make America wealthy again. God, it's just

Speaker 3 whatever. I don't even want to think about it.

Speaker 1 We don't need their Switch. We're going to make our own Switch.

Speaker 1 We got the the light switch. We got the original switch.
I wish they would have to be. Thomas Edison, but he built the light switch.
He said, we don't need no light switches from. Chai China.

Speaker 1 I just wish that. I wish they would save some winning for everyone else.
Like, they're just hogging up all the winning. And we need a little tiny bit of winning ourselves, but we can't even find any.

Speaker 1 We're scrounging around for crumbs here. It's sucked.

Speaker 3 It's charging 50% on all winning as well.

Speaker 1 They get a 50% tariff on winning. Oh, my God.
They're going to be so wealthy. It's insane.
That's true. They They do, don't they? Yeah.
They already.

Speaker 1 So, here, by the way, here is my second thing that I thought.

Speaker 3 I thought this was really funny. Oh, shit, I didn't take my meds today.

Speaker 1 Hold on. I thought

Speaker 1 I'd be a bit edgy. Hold on.
I'm off on one.

Speaker 1 I'm fucking crazy. I'm going crazy.
Grey, you are terrible. You need one of them old.

Speaker 1 I haven't. It hasn't gone off yet.
All right. Have you got one of those day-of-the-week container things with all your pills? Yes, that's what he needs.

Speaker 1 No, I have an alarm on my phone that says, take your pill, you idiot.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's not very helpful. That's like, I ignored it.
He gave us all alarms.

Speaker 3 So, Stuart Pierce,

Speaker 3 one time

Speaker 3 England captain, left back. He played left back, not left back in the direction.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I just want to tell you that this is why this is important, okay? He's famously hardman. His nickname was Psycho, right?

Speaker 3 He was manager of, I think.

Speaker 3 Was he manager of Forest or Man City? Briefly, he was like an emergency caretaker manager, and he picked too many players on on his team sheet.

Speaker 1 He had 11 outfield players.

Speaker 3 He forgot about the goalie and his wife had to point out to him, Shira, what about a goalie? He was like, oh my God,

Speaker 3 I've picked 11 players.

Speaker 1 I've picked a goalie.

Speaker 3 You know, he's not the brightest lab. He's on a flight from Vegas to London and he fell ill.
All right. Now, I found this very interesting because they're describing this.
This is on the ESPN website.

Speaker 1 It says here that

Speaker 3 passengers on the plane, it was diverted to St. John's, Canada.
He was hospitalized. And in an interview with The Times, he detailed the incident.

Speaker 3 Pierce said his heart was stopped before being restarted. My heart was racing a little bit.

Speaker 3 The medical staff on the plane were magnificent, and they made the decision after three hours to drop me off in St. John's in Newfoundland.

Speaker 3 The hospital staff there basically stopped my heart and restarted it again to put it back into a normal rhythm. Now, that right there is an SVT attack.

Speaker 3 And what he's talking about basically stopped my heart and restarted it again is the adenosine injection. So Stuart Pierce and me have something in common.

Speaker 1 Right. Really? Yeah.
I read it.

Speaker 3 He's describing it as basically stopped my heart, but I know what he means. And he said, My heart is racing a little bit.
So, Stuart Pierce, that's what it is. It's SVT.

Speaker 1 You could have got in there onto the thread and been like, I know a thing or two about this. I'm an expert.
Hold it right there, Mr.

Speaker 3 Pierce.

Speaker 1 I'm an expert on this part of matters. I know about all this stuff.

Speaker 1 I'd like to have been on that flight. Yes.
People, oh, my heart's going to clappers here, babe. I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 1 Hold on, Mr. Pierce.
Sorry, I am no doctor, but I do have experience in this team.

Speaker 1 Listen, Mr. Pierce, I understand that you've not put a goalie on your starting lineup.

Speaker 1 That's probably what's upset you. You knew subconsciously that your team was lacking a goalie, and your body's trying to warn you.

Speaker 3 You know what, Lewis? Imagine that you were made England manager, right?

Speaker 1 Something terrible had happened. A mistake was made.

Speaker 3 There's a big

Speaker 1 designated survivor situation.

Speaker 1 You're the manager. Everyone else has been killed.

Speaker 3 The least least likely person to be England manager. They're like him.
So you're the England manager. What would you do? You go into the room, right? You're the new manager.

Speaker 1 You go into the England manager.

Speaker 3 You go into the dressing room and there's all the dressing room.

Speaker 1 I don't want to go in there. It's got sweaty naked men in it.
I don't want to see that. You're a football manager now.
You have to be. No, no, no.
That's what the coach does. No.

Speaker 3 Yes, that is the manager. That is the manager.

Speaker 1 The manager and the coach are the same thing.

Speaker 3 No, it's the same thing.

Speaker 1 Well, I think we need to draw a line there. I don't want to be going in the dressing room as the manager.
All right.

Speaker 3 You can have a meeting room and the players will talk to you there.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, we'll have a separate meeting room. You want everyone to say a meeting room that's got a trapdoor and you've got a button on your desk.
You can tell

Speaker 1 a trapdoor button. It's like a chill meeting room with a dartboard and like you know, a pool table and a bar.

Speaker 1 All right, so you're in there.

Speaker 3 The entire England team is in there waiting for you. Very famous footballers.
They've played yourself a drink, lads. Get yourself yourselves to a drink.

Speaker 1 So that's your open at the bar. That's your opening.
Serve yourself.

Speaker 3 Grab yourself a drink, lads.

Speaker 1 Let's Get them all nicely lubricated for the bad news that's coming in.

Speaker 3 So get a drink. In you come.
What's your opening here?

Speaker 1 Listen up, lads.

Speaker 1 You have to yell louder because when they're coming in, nobody comes into a dressing room quietly. Yeah.
Or into a meeting.

Speaker 1 They're coming in and they're like

Speaker 1 slapping each other's tissues.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the kind of energy we need. But

Speaker 1 have a little listen. Have a little listen to the words of a man older and perhaps a little wiser than yourselves.

Speaker 1 First off, I want to say it's been a tough old time for Britannia lately.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 we're in a bad state, and the people are sad. We've had too many years of Tories running things, and everything's gutted.
Everything's run down. There's potholes in the roads.
You have to wait.

Speaker 1 It's like you lost the room already before you can get a GP's appointment. These guys aren't listening to this.
Like, they don't want to people of Britain need a win, right? And you are the only thing

Speaker 1 standing between total collapse of this country, right? Now you've got their attention.

Speaker 1 If you don't win, if you don't win out there, people, there will be blood in the streets. There will, and that will blood will be on your hands.
Well, now they're really,

Speaker 1 yeah, they understand this.

Speaker 1 I love the way this, this, uh, this meet the team speech that you've done kind of sounds like uh turn into his bid to run for the enoch power rivers of blood speech

Speaker 1 exactly yeah you know well you know they are the heart and soul you listen you are the heart and soul of england uh and britain and the united kingdom you're the salt of the earth

Speaker 1 just england just england just exactly

Speaker 1 uh just england you know and as a result you know it's a lot it's a heavy weight on your shoulders lads to carry so i want you to go out there and just have the back of your mind if i if we if we lose today, I might as well have been shooting to death a toddler

Speaker 1 in the streets

Speaker 1 of Nottingham. Now you've really got their attention and they're mad.

Speaker 1 They are frothing, man. They're furious.
Good, good. That's a channel that rage.
That's what I want from you. Right.

Speaker 1 You just want to. Get out there.
Be angry. Get out there and be Iceland.
Oh, my God. Be Iceland.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 That went in directions. I had no idea it would go.

Speaker 1 Some motivational speeches.

Speaker 1 That's one of them. That is one of them.

Speaker 1 You did one. You've done one of them.

Speaker 1 Lewis, I know you're going to do Lou's News, but have you done anything at all interesting this week?

Speaker 1 In relation to how interesting mine and Flax's weeks have been. He's Home Alone, like Kevin McAllister, and I've had Computer Woes.

Speaker 1 What do you got, baby? I watched Invincible. I've watched all of that, which is quite good.
Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 3 When you say you watched all of Invincible, which series?

Speaker 1 I watched it back from the start because I'd forgotten like most oh wow so what is that that's three seasons yeah but that's a lot of hours I got a lot of I got a lot of problems with it he's got a lot of features so pretty good he's got it's not it's not great it's not great but it's fine it's okay what's it about yeah it's about a young kid who develops superpowers his father is omni man who is essentially the world's strongest superhero so think like superman basically superman uh and he is um it turns out not a particularly nice guy.

Speaker 3 That's exactly.

Speaker 1 It's one of these adult superheroes because it's very gory, it's very, very gory, right? Very, very, very gory in places.

Speaker 1 But then also, it really takes a hard turn into very silly and clowny a lot, right? Like, it'll be super, there'll be some absolutely ludicrous costumed hero doing kind of dumb stuff. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 1 And then, I'm going to destroy the Washington Monument. Right.
You know, and it's, and I guess that's there for some comic relief, but it is sometimes very misjudged. And also,

Speaker 1 I have a big problem with it in terms of I don't want to talk about it too much. I just think that the I have a problem with the way that these superheroes' powers are sometimes used.

Speaker 1 So, like, this is a superhero called Atom Eve, okay, and she has the power to manipulate matter, right? She can just change reality, basically. She can just be like, this apple is now made of gold.

Speaker 1 You know, she can like just make like a

Speaker 1 like air turn into like steel.

Speaker 1 It's, it's ridiculous okay um but the thing is she's and as a result she's got this incredibly creative really interesting superpower that could be used in all sorts of different ways okay right uh to fight bad guys but as in most of these

Speaker 1 these these these shows all she does is make squares of pink like like squares of pink in the air that people can just punch through easily and she's like that's it that that's basically her how her power yeah and it's it's kind of frustrating because it's kind of such a waste of a really cool ability and i feel like that's the same thing for super these superhero powers in general i guess it's because they want loads they just want loads of different superheroes but every single one is like a one trick pony they they do one here if they're a hero they do one stupid thing they they don't it's just a shame i i constantly think oh it'd be so much cooler if it was done like this i mean when are we just gonna have a show where it's a bunch of wizards doing cool shit Because there's so many spells that are cool.

Speaker 1 And Harry Potter, it's wank because it's a kid's show.

Speaker 3 I'm just saying, I want to see a gory wizard versus wizard shit fucking show.

Speaker 1 You're absolutely right on the Harry Potter combat system, which is basically like sets, like in the movies, it's basically I do a little sparky sword fight with you with my wand.

Speaker 1 At least in the books, mostly they're doing like, like...

Speaker 1 like just expelly armors this is pretty much the main spell that anyone uses but i don't know it does that also felt bad to me like there was there is you're right so much cool yeah things that can be done like did you see the the dungeons and dragons movie the recent one yeah i really enjoyed it

Speaker 3 i thought it was really fun and it's really fun so there was there's a wizard fight at the end of that a proper wizard fight where there's like they're casting recognizable dnd spells ones that you know like this would be the correct spell or this is a a good spell to cast in this instance and it was like it made it so much more exciting than just zap zap because like you said you've got this chance to do something cool where instead of just a gunfight it's people creating different digby's interposing hands or whatever and going at each other with like cool spells and using them in interesting ways but instead they're just like oh they just go pow but but with a wand you're right there's a lack of investment i think like the issue i have is that when you have an animation you can do anything yeah and yet they choose to do the most boring you've ever seen which is flying about with you know pink lightning bolts and stuff it's like give me a break Like, you know, you're supposed to.

Speaker 1 I guess

Speaker 1 it's fine. Anyway, Invincible's great.
And Pantele, by the way,

Speaker 1 it's okay.

Speaker 3 You literally said you had problems with it.

Speaker 1 It's watchable.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 1 I think my other problem with these shows is so little happens, right? Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 How many episodes of him and his

Speaker 3 talking to a girl about their relationship problems? It's like, can you fucking just dump all this shit? Like, it's such an obvious fella.

Speaker 1 It's the same conversation every time.

Speaker 3 Mark, I know you've got a responsibility, but I thought we'd spend some time together. I'm trying, it's really hard, okay?

Speaker 3 And then the whole of season three is him and his little brother, of him and the mom having to rein in the little brother who thinks he's ready. He's not ready.
Fuck off.

Speaker 3 You've done that for five fucking episodes.

Speaker 1 Wait, what show is this pantheon? No spoilers, but we'll be able to do it. Invincible.
Invincible. What's invincible about? It sounds like it's about a horse.

Speaker 3 Were you not listening to the last 10 minutes?

Speaker 1 Well, I heard you guys talking about like

Speaker 1 a guy talking to a a girl and stuff like that, but I don't know what that show is actually about. A superhero.
I told you. Oh, there's still one.

Speaker 1 I thought you were talking about a new one. Sorry.
I got lost. Well, so

Speaker 1 this other one, Pantheon, is basically about

Speaker 1 a near-future world where a billionaire has invented like a way to upload

Speaker 3 that game that went really badly.

Speaker 1 There was a game called Pantheon that went, I think, badly. I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 Or was that called Concord?

Speaker 1 Concorde went really bad. Yeah.
Yeah. I feel like during the chaos on Netflix, it was like the Jeff Goldblum gods thing.
No, I just feel like that showed that

Speaker 1 wanted to be called Python, but it ended up being called something. I've been watching White Lotus season two.
I'm almost done. I think I'm on the last episode.
So you're near the end of season two.

Speaker 1 So you've have you, I won't, no spoilers again, but who's your favorite character? What, in season two? Yeah. I don't know.
I don't really like any of the characters in both seasons.

Speaker 1 Like they're all, they're all pretty hateful people, no?

Speaker 1 I can't think of one that I actually kind of like.

Speaker 1 But you, but Jennifer, but Jennifer Coolidge. It's Jennifer Coolidge.
Jennifer Coolidge is great in it. Yeah,

Speaker 1 she is really good. And her character is frustrating, but she plays it so well.
Like, she's just

Speaker 1 such a breath of fresh air, honestly.

Speaker 1 The bit that we just saw was the big party at the mansion. Okay.

Speaker 1 Some full frontal dong shots. An Italian man's penis is on

Speaker 1 display. Good.
Yeah, that sounds fine. Oh, great show.
Anyway, I don't think I want to be any clearer.

Speaker 1 Let me be clear.

Speaker 1 There's an Italian man's penis. Minecraft movie star Jason Mamoa doesn't allow his kids to play Minecraft.
Why not? Because he wants them to use their creativity in a different way. Fuck off.

Speaker 1 How about that? So we do other things. Maybe they can think up some clever retorts to Pyrrhion Flax's fuck off using their creativity.
Jason Momoa says, phones are new to the world.

Speaker 1 Everyone was doing just fine before phones. We watch movies together, and that's beautiful.

Speaker 1 We watch my movies together. We watch me.
My children watch me and worship me on the television. No, no, no, no.
Luce is adding all those extra bits in. Could you imagine? That would be

Speaker 1 in his mind, though. That's in his brain.
That's what he's saying. Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 My mother,

Speaker 1 when I was growing up, wouldn't let me play video games. She was like, get outside, climb a tree, go skateboard.
Yeah. I wasn't allowed to have video games.
Yeah. And look how you turned out.

Speaker 1 Maybe she should have just let me play some video games.

Speaker 3 If you don't play video games, you become a movie star. That's what he's saying.

Speaker 3 This is the classic Luddite. We didn't used to have those.

Speaker 1 We were fine.

Speaker 3 But you know, we also didn't used to have vaccines. He's an anti-vaxxer, I'm calling it.
Jason Mamoa.

Speaker 3 He's on that train he's on that train

Speaker 3 he's just come through luddightville and now he's on his way to anti-vaccine

Speaker 1 conspiracy theory lands arriving at uh the moon landing so fair station

Speaker 1 and jeff you're passing

Speaker 1 steel beams

Speaker 3 we're passing through the uh i'm do your research station where we'll be washed and hosed down and we're going to head uh on the flattest part of the track which is of course the flat earth zone

Speaker 1 Joe Rogan is just boarding the train.

Speaker 1 I'm Joe Rogan.

Speaker 3 If you need anything, just tweet at me.

Speaker 1 Sorry,

Speaker 1 seat at me. So basically,

Speaker 1 obviously, Jack Black is the opposite as his kids.

Speaker 1 He's been streaming them with live and making videos on YouTube. His kids, you know, playing, and he's been in a bunch of video games.
So I'm not even saying Mamo hasn't.

Speaker 1 Maybe Mamo will do anything he gets paid for. Yeah, of course.
He's always struck me as that kind of guy anyway.

Speaker 1 I like him generally, but I like him less after this. I think the thing is, one, my first comment would be, how do you stop them? Right.
Because are you basically homeschooling your kids to stop them?

Speaker 1 Because everyone they're at school with is going to have a mobile phone and stuff like this, right? So good luck stopping them.

Speaker 1 you know, accessing all this content anyway.

Speaker 1 Second thing, you're not really preparing someone for the modern world if you deny them access to the things that everyone else, you die in the experience that everyone else has had.

Speaker 1 All you're doing is you're making a weirdo. So maybe don't do that.
I mean, celebrity kids are already fucking weird enough without having some weird, like, fucking hermit upbringing.

Speaker 3 Give me a break. I mean, for me, this is this is the kind of shit, and I don't want to, I don't want to offend any, any, any parents in particular, okay?

Speaker 3 Because I understand everybody, it's up to you, it's your choice.

Speaker 3 But I think that there's a lot of people who decide that they are so unique and special that they're not going to do what everybody else is doing.

Speaker 3 For example, you get people, I certainly know people like this, whose birth plan, in other words, what the fuck they're going to do when the the baby's being born, involves crystals and no drugs and

Speaker 3 this particular song needs to be playing. It's all very

Speaker 3 sort of main character feeling, where everything has to be bent around this ridiculous set of demands. And I think Jason Momoa and people like that saying, oh, no, my children are different.

Speaker 3 It's like, no, no, they're not. We're all the fucking same.
You're very famous.

Speaker 3 Your kids are just regular kids and you're fucking them over by saying, no, no, we shall do more creative things with our time.

Speaker 3 we shall not be using computers just fuck off well you know let your kids do whatever all the other kids are doing otherwise what what the fuck what kind of childhood is that yeah i don't know sometimes people say stuff um

Speaker 1 you know to sound a certain way or sound better and but in reality they are not doing the things that they're saying that they're doing oh that's true you know that's true he could just be some of this stuff i think you got to take with a pinch of salt because um you know do you say pinch of salt or grain of salt uh i say pinch i say pinch, but I've heard it with a grain of salt as well.

Speaker 1 Take it with a grain of salt.

Speaker 1 Take it with a pinch.

Speaker 3 A single grain.

Speaker 1 One grain.

Speaker 3 All I'm thinking is, how are you going to get that one grain?

Speaker 1 You might get an unlucky pinch and just pick up one grain as well, though. That's true.

Speaker 1 Jennifer Coolidge is in the Minecraft movie. This is a crazy connection.

Speaker 1 She was also Stiffler's mom.

Speaker 1 Stiff's mom. The original milk.
She got it going. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She is the OG MILF.

Speaker 3 She was the MILF in that fucking movie as well. She was American Pie

Speaker 3 Jennifer Coolidge. I want to see.

Speaker 1 If you look at a picture of her from that movie, how old is she now compared to how old was she in American Pie? She must have been like, what, in her 25 years old, probably. What, no.

Speaker 1 She did look like a teenage boy's mom in American Pie. To be fair, like, she didn't look 25 years old.
Older than she was in American Pie. Sorry.
That's what I mean. Like 25-year-old movies.
Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Sorry.
But she must have been in her 30s at the time because she does look now like she's probably in her 60s. You reckon Jennifer Coolidge? No offense, Jennifer Coolidge, but I'm a huge fan.

Speaker 1 She's great.

Speaker 3 She's 61.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think that checks out. 63.
I think that checks out.

Speaker 3 Sorry, she's 63. Yeah, I'm reading an article that's two years old.

Speaker 1 So, yeah,

Speaker 1 regarding dating,

Speaker 1 there is a dating app called Tinder, which you might have heard of. I've heard of it.

Speaker 1 They recently released a thing called the Game game which is basically it allows you to practice your pickup skills on an ai chat bot right so you can basically you're given like so it's like a whole thing first of all i haven't used tinder in years but there's like a virtual deck of cards apparently with unique scenarios um so it's like balance persistence with respecting conversational flow.

Speaker 1 What? These are the kind of advice. How It's like, why are they teaching people to, oh, you know, I want somebody to go on a Tinder date with somebody and

Speaker 1 memorize a born on the 4th of July soundboard and only use quotes from born on the 4th of July on the date. So you can imagine sitting in a restaurant and somebody just going, hoo-wah, hoo-ah,

Speaker 1 love it or leave it, hoo-wah, you know, like just constantly born on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 Maybe that's Scent of a Woman, actually.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I was going to say.

Speaker 1 Love it or leave it.

Speaker 1 Love It or Leave It was born on the 4th of July. I think the whoa's might have been from Scent of a Woman.

Speaker 3 The Huaz was 100%, and that was Al Pacino.

Speaker 1 It was Al Pacino, you're right. Born on the 4th of July.
I just wanted to do a little trivia, you know, just a little sneaky trivia there for you. I loved it.
I loved it. Born on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 Definitely had Love It or Leave It in it, though, right? Love It or Leave It was a Tom Cruise line in Born on the Fourth of July.

Speaker 3 I'll file born on the 4th of July. Love it or leave.
Oh, it's come up. Here it is.
Love it or get out.

Speaker 1 Oh, love it or get out, right? Sorry, I misquoted spreading misinformation. Sorry.
Yeah. This stuff is like how to talk.
It's like adapt your topics based on responses. Is this a change?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Build understanding through shared activities or humor.

Speaker 3 Well, we're all looking at pictures of Jennifer Coolidge a minute ago, right?

Speaker 1 Stay enthusiastic about shared interests.

Speaker 1 This is just good tips for general interactions with other humans. How are you meant to memorize these? But

Speaker 3 if you're the kind of person who doesn't understand how to do a conversation, which is fair enough, there's plenty of people like that.

Speaker 3 You know, conversation is difficult. It's a lot of the time it's not something that for some people is instinctive.
It's actually very confusing. Fair enough.

Speaker 3 But I'm saying all of this advice is kind of pointless because you're going to be having to fucking practice so much for this to become second nature and you're not really being yourself.

Speaker 3 If you are so incapable of having a conversation that you need to read things like listen to the things that other people say and respond to them.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 3 you're fucked. Like that's just, it's too hard at that point to just try to have a regular conversation.

Speaker 3 I think you need to give advice to people about how to have conversations with people who clearly can't actually do it. That would be more useful.

Speaker 1 But that would just help them in their everyday life generally and not just with dating. which would also be a good thing, right?

Speaker 1 So basically what you're saying is have some social abilities generally and apply those to dating.

Speaker 3 I don't think they're gonna.

Speaker 1 That's the thing.

Speaker 3 No, but you can't teach people this is how, I mean, for example, my eldest is on the spectrum, right? And I know a lot of other people who are, especially in gaming and stuff like that. Right.

Speaker 3 You can't change them by just practice. You can't be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, this is how you do social interaction.

Speaker 1 No, but isn't it kind of like a like, it's not, it's not practice, but it's almost like rehearsing, like you're rehearsing like a front. It's not natural.

Speaker 1 That's why it's like so exhausting for some people, right? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Socializing.

Speaker 3 they do something called masking, yeah, and the most common form of that, especially amongst girls, autistic girls, which is why it's much harder to spot, is that they will just grab a person they like, like they'll make super friends with one person and do everything the way that person does it.

Speaker 3 So that person becomes your sort of uh your cheat sheet. So you just copy them and you they like dress like them, talk like them, act like them, and they literally become that person.

Speaker 3 And that's how they uh get through the day.

Speaker 1 I feel like you just described every young girl friendship ever, though. Like, that's how most of them go, or no, no.
I also feel like you've just described role models. Yeah.

Speaker 3 No, so this is different.

Speaker 1 Teenagers. Okay.

Speaker 3 I'm talking about the fact that even at a fairly young age,

Speaker 3 masking is

Speaker 3 way more than just copying someone. I know it sounds silly, but it's because they have literally no idea how to deal with certain social situations.

Speaker 1 Right. So they're just masking it through taking the lead from someone else who they think.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like copying them, following them around, and basically trying to be as close to them as possible. I understand that sounds like a role model situation, but this goes a bit further.

Speaker 3 This would more be like a superfan version that's almost like a weird super fan.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, I see.
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 It's not just like, wow, that's so inspirational. It's more like, oh, you did that? I'll do that.

Speaker 1 You know, it's I do the opposite of that. I try to remove myself from and distance myself from just about everybody all the time.

Speaker 1 That's your rebellious nature, though, isn't it? You want to rebel.

Speaker 1 You're like a OG

Speaker 1 grunge.

Speaker 1 You ain't taking anything that the man wants you to have. Yeah, no, I am firmly not taking anything the man wants to prescribe.
Get rid of your mobile if you like.

Speaker 3 Big time rebel.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I ran over my phone with my car a couple times. There you you go.
I ran over my phone with my, with my Ferrari a few times just to really stick it to the man.

Speaker 3 By the way, I apologize for anyone that knows what I'm talking about and found my description of it completely wrong. I tried my best.

Speaker 1 I think I know what you're talking about. I don't want to come across as like, you know, making fun of it or not.
It's complicated.

Speaker 1 What you're talking about is a situation that many people struggle with because, you know, there isn't a class on social interaction.

Speaker 1 And if there were, it would encourage a lot of people to struggle to be authentic about who they are, right?

Speaker 1 Like that, like if you're constantly, if your brain is constantly on edge in a conversation,

Speaker 1 if you're in a chill conversation with your friends, the last thing you want to be doing is having your mind racing at 100 miles per hour, like being anxious about everything you're saying and how it's going down and whether you're saying the right thing and what they're saying and analyzing it to fuck.

Speaker 1 You know, it's, it's, it's, it's not a way to exist, right? To have this fake persona. Yeah.
Because also in the back of your mind, you're thinking, what if they catch me? Right.

Speaker 1 You know, what if they catch me saying all this fake stuff? And

Speaker 1 am I somehow scamming everyone, all of my friends by having this fake personality? It's incredibly anxiety-inducing to be like that, right?

Speaker 1 And I get, I absolutely get like what you're saying about, you know, not

Speaker 1 being yourself.

Speaker 1 Because I mean,

Speaker 3 if you need these level of tips on how to talk to someone of the opposite sex, and it's almost always teaching blokes how to talk to women, right?

Speaker 3 If you're going to have to train yourself to be, like you said, another person. Like it can't be.

Speaker 1 That is a thing. That is a thing you can do, though.
You can, you can take steps to list, like, you know, consider like

Speaker 1 little bit snippets of advice can be helpful, right? We're not saying none of this is useless.

Speaker 3 And I just think the key is they need to demystify the idea of speaking to women in their minds. They need to stop it being this big.
I just can't talk to women. Because

Speaker 1 that's not somebody never speaking to a woman, then looking to speak to a woman.

Speaker 1 These are people that have had, had, have tried and tried and tried on these dating sites and not had any luck, though, right? I'm not even talking about the dating sites.

Speaker 1 This is the point that we're getting to.

Speaker 3 Because the dating sites will only get you so far because then when you meet up, what, you're going to have like little notes written on your hand?

Speaker 1 You like that? I think

Speaker 1 the idea is that it's some sort of interview or test, which in a sense it is, but in another sense, it isn't, right? Because the end goal here is to,

Speaker 1 you know, have a have sex with somebody else. Have a sex with it.
It does feel like

Speaker 1 there's already some sort of slightly sinister undercurrent to like what you're trying to do here.

Speaker 3 You think sex is kind of sinister?

Speaker 1 What kind of sex are you? Well,

Speaker 1 I think it is kind of sinister.

Speaker 1 The malicious dangerous game sex with Lewis friendly.

Speaker 1 I think you can't, if you start thinking about it too much, you know, it becomes a problem. I think the secret is to just,

Speaker 1 I think the secret is to just try and be yourself. And I hate to say it because some people self-I would say be yourself, but just try to naturally gel with somebody.

Speaker 1 And if you don't, be the best version of yourself. Try somebody else, I suppose.

Speaker 1 Don't go into it feeling like you have to cheat. Yeah.
Just just be like, just be yourself. And if that's not enough, then

Speaker 1 complain about it. There's someone else that's, you know, you'll be alone forever.

Speaker 3 That's all it is.

Speaker 1 Talk about the apprentice and how you had an SSD fail. Yeah.
And if they look at you over their nose, find someone else. Do you know what I mean? Complain at length about Elon Musk.

Speaker 1 That's a good one as well. People love to hear that.

Speaker 3 Complain about how people don't understand what a genius he is.

Speaker 1 Just edit anything. Just bring up the topic and just roll with it.
See how it goes.

Speaker 1 You'll find your people. Elon Musk, your thoughts.
And I'll really stop you right there.

Speaker 3 He's a goddamn genius.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 So, the

Speaker 1 ghost of Tsushima. So, you know, the Assassin's Creed Shadows came out.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And it's been getting decent. Yeah, I heard it's pretty good.
It had a lot of people playing it at least.

Speaker 1 And for a Ubisoft game, generally don't see that many people playing their games, I don't think.

Speaker 1 Or, I mean, they seem very surprised that there was like 4 million people playing it at one point, which there has been someone apparently in the game there has been some sort of like i don't know some sort of like i don't know if there's a way to like deface the shrines in game or something but certainly what shrine uh there's some of these shrines that are in the game are also in real life and some tourists or fans have been visiting these sites yeah and well we did the same thing if you remember lewis remember we went to paris france uh we did a promotional thing

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 we went to some of the locations that feature in the game. We found those rusty bolt holes, if you remember.
We did. And those were in the game, too.

Speaker 1 A very famous French site, a famous French alleyway that had

Speaker 1 we were like round the back of one of the places. We couldn't find the places,

Speaker 1 basically. We couldn't find the places that they wanted us to show.
So we just went to random places.

Speaker 1 They were interesting places, though. Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 We really had the giggles that night. We did.

Speaker 1 It was like a warm night in Paris. We had record these stupid videos

Speaker 1 for Ubisoft. And I remember that very fondly.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 don't cause any grave and unforgivable acts of disrespect towards real-life shrines because you saw something in the game.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, like places in Japan are now banning tourists.

Speaker 1 It's about time.

Speaker 1 If you're a fucking some TikTok star,

Speaker 1 if you're Logan Paul or

Speaker 1 someone who's thinking you might want to go and slap a Japanese person in the face with a fish, don't do that. No.

Speaker 1 Just don't do that.

Speaker 1 I can't not think of that Monty Python bit where they're doing the fish slapping dance on the

Speaker 1 you ever seen that one where they where they're doing the don't don't do that. Okay, yeah, don't do that.
Don't push people into a canal in either. No, don't do any canal.

Speaker 1 Oh, God, don't do that.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Do you know what? I was trying to watch.

Speaker 3 I've been watching Kitchen Nightmares a lot, and I was trying to find a new show.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What about the F-word?

Speaker 3 No, so I wanted to try

Speaker 3 away from Regordo and reality TV for a bit because I tried Hell's Kitchen and I found it so horrible

Speaker 3 and so uncomfortable that I just couldn't watch it. He was just mean.

Speaker 3 He's at least trying to help them, I feel, in Kitchen Nightmares, even if it is done for the sake of television and all very staged and everything yeah hell's kitchen is just like come here you idiot it's like jesus christ gordon can we you know it's like he's like roar all the time and just poking stuff yeah throwing dishes on the floor and really getting in people's faces and the hatred on his face really angry i was like oh i'm not enjoying this this isn't fun right um so i try to

Speaker 3 is it too genuine no it's just i don't even think it's genuine it's just horrible and it's all like these american contestants are all trying to backstab each other and you get all these talking heads where they're like he's a goddamn idiot.

Speaker 3 I fucking hate Raj. He's a moron.
And then they'll have an argument backstage. Then they come out on the set and they have an argument there.
They throw itself. It's just awful.

Speaker 3 And they're always fucking with him. They're always fucking with him.
Like, all right, here. Come here, dickhead.
Here's the new terse.

Speaker 3 You've got to do something completely ridiculous whilst also doing the service. Or, you know, you're here, clean all these squid or whatever.
I just thought, this is just uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 So I tried watching something else.

Speaker 1 What about Master Chef? No.

Speaker 1 What about James, james gunn's uh saturday kitchen or whatever his name was uh no no no we've gone for walker texas ranger right okay so you're just does he cook or you're not no i i mean i tj hooker was the first show that i i was watching with with on stream with people and you know that was fun we oh i see you're watching it on stream yeah yeah

Speaker 3 man you should watch you should watch all of father ted on stream i think you're no no because that's good yeah that right that's good right we only watch abandoned shit, oh, right, stuff that right, because I mean, no one's watching it.

Speaker 3 You watch some old episodes of Springer or something, then I mean, that would be that's actually a good idea, yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of people to find them, you gotta be able to watch some old episodes Dr. Phil's or something, that'd be good too.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, Dr. Phil, that would be good.
So, we watched Walker Texas Ranger, made it to episode three, had to abandon it as a, as a, as a show, right? It was so bad, it was unwatchably bad, right?

Speaker 1 That's the uh just dull, it's Chuck Norris, yeah, yes, it is, It is so bad.

Speaker 3 I cannot believe they made nine seasons.

Speaker 1 What about MacIver? You could watch MacGyver. That'd be fun.

Speaker 3 So, can't find it. Also, I think probably a bit too good compared to

Speaker 3 some of the shit. I mean, the fucking TJ Hooker was such a bad show, but it was, it made Walker Texas Ranger made fucking TJ Hooker look like a masterpiece.
It's so bad.

Speaker 3 And it's casually racist quite often in a way that TV was so bad back then for

Speaker 3 sort of sound,

Speaker 3 depending on the race of the person on screen, they'll add a little sort of sting, a little musical sting.

Speaker 1 So with an Asian person,

Speaker 1 a gong sound, it'll go, did it do it. Jesus, it's like unbelievable.
It's unreal.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like he has an uncle who's a Native American, who's like Cherokee. Every time he comes on screen, it's like pan pipes.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine that? Imagine you're doing a stream with like with people, and every time somebody joined the stream you would play like a little tune based on their ethnicity or whatever

Speaker 1 you'd be dead you'd be gone you would be off of the you wouldn't be allowed to stream it at all anymore it would be maybe you'd be on kick yeah be straight to kick yeah straight to kick yeah yeah but yeah but so it's like watching that it's just like god really and it's in the south so of course anyone you know there's all you city folk don't understand how things are down here yeah so every time one of those guys came on did they do like a like a banjo song and then yeah

Speaker 3 or something like that or no it was just normal not unless they are specifically being presented as as oh this guy's real country this guy is like he's he's loco yeah no they just get sort of cool cowboy music and stuff oh cool yeah it's very texas everybody really is wearing those big hats and they all have their shirt tucked into their trousers nice like really tucked in yeah um there's got to be some reason for that right like the uh the the shirt tucked into trousers, like it looks smarter, doesn't it?

Speaker 3 I mean, it's more, yeah, oh, I mean, all right, so get a shirt, yeah, and just leave it hanging out.

Speaker 3 Yeah, tell me that that looks smarter than tucking a t-shirt, yeah, I would have leave it hanging out, wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 Right, right, right. But they have like lumberjacks and shirts, oh, like plaid shirts and stuff.
Look, I don't know.

Speaker 1 They got those shirts with like the weird metal thing with the strings hanging off it, like at the neck, the bolo tie, yeah, yeah, that's a bolo tie, a bolo tie, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Um, so I feel like

Speaker 3 you need something.

Speaker 1 It is smarter.

Speaker 3 No, I feel like it is smarter having it tucked in, but it also looks whack. I'm not saying it's good.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying it looks smarter.

Speaker 3 Well, I think their whole thing is

Speaker 1 90s men

Speaker 1 fashion, like depending where you were. I guess if you're in Texas, it's always been like, you know, cowboy hats and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 But if you're from New Jersey, if you're from like upper state New York,

Speaker 1 it was just Chinos and like those weird, you always saw people that worked in tech wear them like the polo shirts you know that had like the patterns they look like golfing shirts and they were always tucked in as well tony soprano i always kind of rocked the look very well you know i also feel like that that shirt that's got like a zip that brings it down to just above the sternum i don't know what it's for it's like a zip polo shirt i i hate that he'd have like a full suit but without a tie or he'd have those fucking chinos and those fucking polo shirts all the time

Speaker 1 but that was like a big fashion for men in the 90s. And probably even now, sometimes you still see it.

Speaker 1 Like if you're at a hotel, an international hotel, and you see, it's mostly Americans that dress like that.

Speaker 3 It says country club.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it does say country club. You're right.
Yeah. It's crazy, isn't it?

Speaker 1 They rebooted Walker, Texas Rangers.

Speaker 3 No way.

Speaker 1 With Jared Padalecki. Who? Who? Who's from Supernatural? He's one of the brothers in Supernatural.
Sam Winchester. You ever seen it? No.
Great show.

Speaker 1 I actually have no idea what you're talking about right now. Supernatural, where they have to get a shotgun out of the boot of their car and fill it with salt and shoot ghosts for like 13 seasons.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm sorry. 15 seasons.

Speaker 1 I've never even heard of it. Supernatural, 15 seasons of it.
It's great. Walker, Texas Ranger, the reboot.
It's just four seasons plus a prequel season. Is Chuck Norris in the reboot? 69 episodes.

Speaker 1 No, he's not even considered, I don't think. He doesn't even guest star.
Really? Yeah. He's not involved.
Terrible reviews. It's really cool.
Yeah, I bet it's fucking awful.

Speaker 1 How? Jared Padalecki. 69 episodes over like four years.
That must have been exhausting. Oh, what a lad.
Padalecki.

Speaker 1 I'm always impressed by these shows that have like fucking 25 episodes in a season, and each episode is like an hour long or something. It's insane.
That's wild. How do they produce that much crap?

Speaker 1 This is the modern daytime TV version of that. You're talking about watching TJ Hooker.
That's what my nan was watching in the afternoon when, you know, she was in the 90s.

Speaker 1 Have they included Matt Lock?

Speaker 1 Matt Lock!

Speaker 1 I think they have.

Speaker 1 I saw like

Speaker 3 2024 Matt Lock.

Speaker 1 Yes. I think it's a white god.
Yes.

Speaker 3 A woman?

Speaker 1 I think it is.

Speaker 3 It's Kathy Bates. Yeah.

Speaker 1 A gender-flipped lead character played by Kathy Bates. Oh, my God.
Yeah. I saw

Speaker 1 DEI. I saw Matt.
Matt Lock. I saw Matt Lock.

Speaker 3 I saw the chick's gone DEI.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's gone. It's gone like woke as hell.

Speaker 1 You can't even enjoy Matt Lock anymore. Unbelievable.
They saw 24 user reviews or critic reviews. It's got 100% approval rating.
Wow.

Speaker 1 And it is funny how people like Kathy Bates can just dig out a bad show.

Speaker 1 She's a great actor. She is a good one.
She's a really fantastic actor. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, there you go. That sounds like a one to watch.
Maybe I'll watch

Speaker 3 a procedural crime drama.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I was surprised to find out that Matt Locke was rebooted, but apparently maybe it's good, according to Lewis, who just read a review about it.

Speaker 1 Kathy Bates. I watched Conclave.
Oh, what a movie.

Speaker 1 Which I thought was

Speaker 1 a brilliant movie. It's

Speaker 1 called Conclave. It's about there was a new pope being chosen.

Speaker 1 And I know there's been a string of these. I've seen, I saw the two popes.
I saw something else that was going on in the Catholic, with the popes. Young popes.

Speaker 1 So part of me was like, oh, Connie's gone. I'll watch this one.
But

Speaker 1 I thought it was. He read the Bible 50 times.
He's taken off his hassock.

Speaker 1 It wasn't like overly dramatic or anything. Like it wasn't overly

Speaker 1 silly. It was just a good little

Speaker 1 bit. As well, a bit of exciting drama.
Great, great.

Speaker 1 Honestly. Yeah.
Really, really good.

Speaker 1 Ralph Fiennes.

Speaker 3 Ralph Lorraine. Yeah, Ralph Fiennes.

Speaker 1 Rafe. Rafe Finns.

Speaker 3 It is Rafe Fiennes, but I don't know how he convinced everyone it's Rafe.

Speaker 1 It's Ralph. It's clearly Ralph.

Speaker 3 How has he done that?

Speaker 1 It annoys me every time. Maybe it's like a regional accent thing.
No. Rafe.
Ralph. Rev.
Rev. Relv.

Speaker 1 It sounds like Rev. Ralph.
Ralphie Ralph. Maybe not.
And I don't know. All the others are great as well.
John Lith goes in it. He's great.
He's fantastic. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Remember when he was the Trinity Killer in Dexter? Oh.

Speaker 1 Shut up, Kant.

Speaker 1 It's great. One of the best lines.

Speaker 1 Shut up, Kant.

Speaker 3 Shut up, Kant.

Speaker 1 He does play an excellent bad guy, honestly. Like, such a good bad guy.

Speaker 3 All right, name another film where he was a bad guy. I watched it the other week.

Speaker 1 Uh, Shrek, uh, the second Shrek, or is it the third Shrek when he's Mr.

Speaker 1 Lord Far Lord Farquad? All right, but he's on camera in this one. Oh, uh, Third Rock from the Sun? Nope.
Uh, he was, he was just the dad.

Speaker 1 Well, there was some dads are villains, so that's true, but I don't believe he was. Yeah, um,

Speaker 3 I don't, I don't know, I can't name any, but I mean, it is a uh, a film starring um, in in addition, the guy that you may know is Sylvester Stallone.

Speaker 1 Do you know him as something else other than Sylvester Stallone? Yes. What do you know him as?

Speaker 1 Sly.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 1 You're on that basis with him. You're on personal.

Speaker 1 I call him Daddy, personally.

Speaker 3 He's a fucking bellend is what I call him. John Lithgow on camera in a Stallone movie, and Lithgow plays the villain.

Speaker 1 Hey, they're doing a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2, straight to Netflix, written by

Speaker 3 but not directed by for anyone wondering it was cliffhanger cliffhanger

Yeah, cheers.

Speaker 1 We'll see you next time when we do another one of these podcasts.

Barring vacations, I guess everybody's got some stuff to do coming up soon, right? Over Easter and whatnot?

Speaker 3 No, because obviously now Mrs. F is away.
So next week,

Speaker 3 we're just going to be chilling around the house. Nice.
And then the week after that, we are going away for a few days because my mum needed a break. Right.

Speaker 3 I found out that the place that we're staying backs onto a petrol station, which I didn't know when I booked it.

Speaker 1 That sounds great.

Speaker 3 So I've booked this cottage and it's literally the cottage is. touching the petrol station forecourt.

Speaker 1 Well, that's so handy. Are you going to have your car? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And think of all the snacks that you can go and get there, too. No, I don't want it.
I don't want it to be a lot of fun. You don't have convenient snacks available to you? What the hell?

Speaker 1 No, I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 Because the whole point was that we wanted somewhere with a hot tub because that would be fun and we could sit in the hot tub. Right.
And it's going to stink of petrol.

Speaker 1 And Mrs.

Speaker 3 Fellows can't even make it. I know.
Mrs. F can't even make it.
And which is even worse,

Speaker 3 my sister can't make it either. So it's just going to be me and the kids and my mum.
Right.

Speaker 1 So it's not going to be, it's not going to that doesn't sound like uh that doesn't sound like a like a great atmosphere for hot tubbing generally so maybe just no just sack off the hot tub and stay close the petrol station so you can go get some snacks some snacks and you can fill up as well you know conveniently that's nice oh yeah anyway see you next time bye-bye goodbye bye-bye
