Hard to Get Hard | Triforce Mailbag #60

Pickaxe

By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious.

Work can always wait.

And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles.

Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did.

The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks.

Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way.

Welcome back to another mailbag, and we're going to jump straight into it with an email from

a U.S.

Navy sailor who also makes music in their spare time.

And they say, when I heard you making jingles with that intro-level loop maker, which I think I must have done at the start of of the year, I was inspired to turn the mailbag jingle into a catchy 1980s style synth wave remix.

So he's done a couple of these.

Yeah, thank you.

This email, by the way, is from February, and I just must have missed it.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what I was doing in February, but I missed this email.

So here are the two

remixes.

This is the first one.

Two minutes and 13 seconds of...

of 80s synth wave you don't have to listen to the whole thing we can listen to it uh a little bit at a at a time but let's listen to the to the the the the one that says mailbag short three to give you an idea of what we're up against.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Three, two, one, play.

Ah, yes, the mailbag is upon us.

Welcome.

It's the mailbag, the mailbag, the mailbag here once again.

Oh, hang on.

I'm so sorry.

I'll be two seconds.

I just gotta go.

This is really nasty.

Okay.

Oh.

This is like, you know what this sounds like?

This sounds like

cyberpunk music, you know, like you're in a big fight in the bar or something.

It's big.

It sounds big.

It's big.

It's big.

It's big.

It's a grand one.

It must be difficult for people to listen to this and know what's in the track because we talk

all over it.

Sorry.

No, it's all right.

So, anyway,

I'm going to stop it.

I'm going to stop it.

But you get the gist.

thank you so much.

That's really good.

As you Americans like to say, thank you for your service.

Thank you.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you so much for your service.

I'm loving that service.

Got a great, like, the midnight,

you know, that

I love that vibe so much.

It's my favorite, favorite genre of music.

Well done.

What's his name?

I don't know if I want to say, but he'll know.

He'll know.

You'll know.

He didn't say, don't say my name, but at the same time, he's a service personnel, presumably on active duty, so maybe he doesn't want to get it.

Let's give him a nickname.

Let's call him Hawkeye.

Let's call him the

Big Beats Barry.

Big Beats Barry, sure.

Big Beats Barry.

Yeah.

Big Beats Berry.

Juicy Cynthia beats all over my chest.

So a little bit of housekeeping from previous episodes.

I like to do this to get it out of the way.

Rather than read out the whole email, if I've had lots of emails about one thing, I'll just go ahead and cover it.

So criminal versus civil, which is a question that we asked in a previous mailbag, which is how Kamoje got found innocent of the murder trial, but then was found guilty in the civil trial.

Verdon proof is different.

I knew that.

For some reason, I'd forgotten it, whatever.

You just need to prove that on the preponderance of evidence, it was likely.

Whereas with the murder, with the civil, with the criminal case, you need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

And of course, if the gloves don't fit, you must acquit, as we all know.

So he got away with it.

Or he was innocent, depending on your point of view.

So here's one which is called hilarious.

It's crazy that he was innocent.

He got away with it.

And it's still an unsolved murder.

Yeah.

And that ever found the person who randomly just murdered his ex-wife and motivates.

Yeah.

And that he then wrote a book called If I Did It.

If I Did It, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, fascinating.

So here is one called Hilarious Ad Break.

During the middle of Lewis's rant about AI being trained by people on the internet, my podcaster cut to an ad for McAllister's Deli.

I don't know what that that is, where a woman discussed what she would like to eat and listed several popular options for the restaurant.

At the abrupt end of the ad, without so much as a millisecond of silent air time, Lewis chimes back in with fascist cunts.

Best ad timing I've ever heard.

Very good.

Oh, God.

That's the kind of timing we like around here.

Macalester's Deli brand deal is off from now on.

This one is from MacAlley.

That must be a very localized advertisement.

I guess, yeah, I guess it is.

I think they are a lot of the time now.

This is like the big thing now, localized advertising.

Yeah, let's get back to that.

Get back to those crappy adverts done by local, you know, like Crazy Eddie.

Do you need a used car?

Come down to Moe's used cars.

Come on down to Crazy Eddie's electronic goods.

We got TVs.

We got stereos.

We got high-fives.

And the prices are insane.

Yeah,

there's a bunch of really good Tim and Eric segments, like, like, you know,

Steve Mahanahan's crazy clown emporium and all that kind of stuff.

They do those really good.

For your real estate, all of that stuff.

They're really funny, yeah.

So this is from Marlon, and he says, I've noticed parallels popping up between Tony Soprano and Pirian.

The Pidgin situation of late is kindred to Tony with the ducks.

Oh, yeah.

Both Tony and Pirian have had issues with anxiety and panic attacks.

Both deal in work in waste management, dealing with Twitch chat.

uh, Pyrrhian has noted his fondness for strip clubs in the past, would feel right at home at the bada bing.

Uh, and I have uh connections in New York City.

Very suspicious.

You're right, of course, Marlon.

Me and Tony Soprano, uh, peas in a pod.

Two peas in a pod.

Two peas in a pod.

Flex family.

You don't mess.

Don't want to mess with the flex family,

or you'll be laughing on the other side of your face.

There you go.

Yeah, look out.

Watch out for that.

Oh, man.

All right.

This one is from someone who works in an office with a nice canteen.

One day, whilst going to get some lunch with my friend, we were looking at the soup as we typically do.

Today's soup, spicy parsnip.

It's a self-served canteen, and the soup is in a big pot with a ladle.

We were considering our choices.

Just as I settled on getting some soup, a woman came up to the big pot, put her finger right in it, and tasted it.

Safe to say, we were shocked.

Our face just must have said it all.

She turned to us and said, not very spicy, and walked away.

We told the kitchen staff, who replaced the soup and had a quiet word with the woman.

We could clearly see she was incredulous, appearing to see nothing wrong with what she did.

On her way out, we saw her filling out the iPad feedback form for the canteen, angrily typing away.

A week later, they implemented sticks to taste the soup, but even now I have to wonder if there's been a phantom soup dipper ahead of me.

I've worked there for three days, two days in the office, and had soup most days.

How many fingers have I tasted without knowing?

I wish we could have seen what she wrote on the feedback form.

This could have been so much worse.

And do you know what?

I think everything like this is gross.

You know,

so many gross people have done gross things and put gross, touched gross stuff and fingered gross buffet food and put it back every

time.

You know, it's it's if you had like a security camera and you watched like a buffet and you watched how gross just the average group of people were, you would never want to eat at a buffet again.

Why tell people like this?

But if I go to an event, like when I'm working a doffer event, quite often we'll have a buffet catering.

So you'll go there and the catering will be, here are the options for lunch.

And there'll be a whole bunch of stuff laid out.

And you take your plate, you form a queue and you load up the plate as you go along.

Yeah, sure.

When I know that dinner is served at five, even if I'm not hungry, I'm not a five o'clock dinner eater in general.

If I'm having to do buffet eating, I am at the front of that fucking queue because I know that I'm not going to touch all the food and sneeze on it and breathe on it and take something and sniff it and lick it and put it back.

I'm going to be a decent human being.

So I want to make sure that I get my food untouched because I've got to be there for two weeks sometimes.

I don't want to get sick because someone's come along and put their unwashed hand on a jack of potato and then changed their mind.

And then I've eaten it.

So I get there first.

I say, anytime you go to a restaurant and it's like a buffet restaurant, they do them in America a lot, big Chinese buffet, something like that.

It's just, you're just guaranteed to get food poisoning or get the shit somehow.

You don't see it that much here.

And quite frankly, I haven't been to anything like that since I was, I guess, on holiday.

Sometimes they they have a breakfast buffet on holiday um and i'm i mean do you arrive late for that because that the thing about those breakfast buffets is it feels like they are being cycled out quite quick

i guess that is that is the only saving grace i think if if it's a one-time buffet that's been sat there for a few hours that's not going to be good they don't seem to be the rage so much anymore like when i was growing up it was buffets everywhere like And they were sought after too.

You were like, where are we going to go?

Let's go somewhere with a buffet.

Let's not eat all day and get really hungry and go to the buffet.

I have very fond memories of going to like the Pizza Hut buffet as a kid, you know.

And I think apparently, those original style pizza huts do still exist in like little towns in America where they

yeah, some of them are like untouched.

I think there's like a small town in America that still has a blockbuster as well.

Oh, wow,

it must be like a gimmicky one.

It must be just an individual guy that owns a blockbuster.

I'm sure it is so.

I think

there are places in the world where they're like untouched by time, you know, like they just get frozen.

And the people that live there, like you see it in neighborhoods all the time.

Like the neighborhood I grew up in, if I go back to visit family or whatever, and I go back to like my old neighborhood, it's all like 70-year-olds now.

All the kids have grown and left, but all the parents that were raising families at the time when I was a child have just stayed on.

They haven't sold their house or whatever.

They, you know, they live there.

So it's, it went from being like a family neighborhood to just like an old folks neighborhood.

Yeah.

Like, and, and you can, you can imagine that a small town would be like that too.

You know, you'd have these things that people

are used to using and they want to use, and they, and it doesn't change much.

And

I think it's fine, but it's, it's like, if you're young, I guess it's kind of boring to be in a place like that or maybe interesting for like a small period of time and then you want to get back to your devices.

You just want to get back onto all of your devices as soon as possible.

Interacting with AI as well.

You're talking about

parts of the country that are,

I can't remember how you put it, but basically dead and caught, you know, nobody wants to live there in their shit.

So Norfolk, let's talk about Norfolk.

This is

Dawn has emailed in to talk about the Florida of the UK.

And she reckons that Norfolk could be a decent shout, or it might just be her family.

Every year for Bonfire Night, my grandparents would host a big get-together on their farm they piled a load of burnable from over the year on top of the fields on on on one of the top fields for this night so it was a substantial bonfire right now this is interesting uh that she doesn't realize this for some reason it was also a tradition to burn one of those grimy those old grimy white and brown caravans you tow with your car so i think um one of the reasons that they might do that is because they're burning an effigy of of uh travelers so just bear in mind that a lot of farmers hate travelers because they park up on their land.

If you may have seen in the news lately, those French farmers driving around spraying manure all over

squatters on their land.

They couldn't get the police wouldn't do anything about it.

So they just started spraying manure.

I mean, look, you know, people are going to take matches into their own hands.

It's a very go-to for French.

Every time I see French farmers on the news, if they're striking or whatever, they're always opening up the manure valve on like the back of a trailer, spraying a government building or spraying people.

it's quite the weapon, though.

I guess,

you know,

I'd move along.

I wouldn't want to do it.

I would not mess with those guys.

They got guns.

They have.

But this may not be the reason, but I suspect it is because a lot of the time, along with bonfires, they burn effigies.

I know that in Lewis, which is where Harry's from, Lewis in Sussex,

he said that they burn effigies all the time.

And sometimes they get in trouble for the effigies that they burn.

And I wouldn't be surprised if caravans are traditionally burned as a symbol of, you know, a fuck you to the traveler community.

I'm just suggesting it.

Anyway, right.

My granddad also had a tendency to throw the dud fireworks in it before the end of the night.

I'm sure you can see where this is going.

One year when I was eight or so, I assume we had an abnormal amount of dud fireworks.

Caravan goes on bonfire, business as usual, people go to gather around to keep warm with their pumpkin soup.

In less than a second, the serene night air erupted into a battleground.

Rockets shooting off into the sky, skittering along the ground, exploding against cars and trees, Catherine wheels filling the night with screams and sparks, firework cakes going off like gatling guns, everyone's running for cover.

My nan yanks me behind her car.

A fraction of a second later, a two-foot-long rocket travelling at my head height passed by exactly where I'd been, lit up the forest like a military flare.

After about two minutes of deafening insanity, everyone laughed and went back to what they were doing, occasionally flinching at a pop or a bang from the caravan.

That memory stood out as particularly ridiculous, but stupid shit like that happened all throughout my childhood.

Anyway, thanks so much for the podcast.

I'll be honest with you.

I think that rural communities are just a bit more laissez-faire when it comes to safety and shit.

And it's just seen as a bit more like left to their own devices.

People are going to blow shit up from time to time.

And this sounds like cracking night out, in all honesty.

I'd fucking love it.

I think this is just.

Sorry, I'm not seen.

I don't know.

I don't know if I like all that.

I get it.

If you're from

that world, that part of the world, and you grew up around people that do that kind of stuff,

I get it.

But

I think to

to for somebody who's not done any of that stuff, I don't know if anybody's overly interested, you know.

Like, it sounds, I guess it sounds fun, but like, I don't know.

I can think of like more fun stuff to do, you know?

Well, yeah, I mean, there's always something more fun to do, isn't there?

But bonfire and fireworks is pretty cool.

I went to a bonfire one time and

it was, it was okay, you know, but like like it it kind of like

i like country people are just uh like a breed aren't they they're they're like we went to this bonfire and there were these there were people there drinking and like the the party hadn't even really started yet and these guys were just like absolutely hammered they they were they were gone and they were like running through the fire and stuff and they were you know there was like a coal pit that they were running through and you just think man come on why like why are you doing all this like

you you don't jump through a big fire a guy jumped through the fire and got lit on fire, and then they had to call an ambulance.

Like, it's that, that's, it's not really that fun, you know?

Like, it's, it is, it's kind of a downer.

Like, some people thought it was fun, but, like, most people were like, this is dumb.

This is, it's, it's, it was just pretty dumb, you know?

Oh, man.

But I guess not, not all bonfire.

There are different breeds are the same, you know, but different breed of country folk.

Yeah.

We used to have a bonfire every now and then at the end of the garden.

And we would usually burn things that were.

I mean, this was the, I guess, the late 80s, like early 90s, right?

When I was a kid.

And

we had a decent sized garden.

I think the whole plot was like a third of an acre.

And so, you know, it had a little bit of a sort of gap at the end of it and an old well as well.

And occasionally, you know, there would be, I think when you have a garden that size, you've got a lot of

stuff grows during the summer, you know, and trees need to be cut down sometimes or pruned off.

And there's lots of things to burn.

And I think one time, you know, a big tree blew over, and there was regular, my dad had regular bonfires to try and get rid of all the excess wood, you know, because I think a lot of wood comes out of this tree.

And obviously, a lot of the stuff goes on the compost heap, but

you also just generally build up a lot of paper and rubbish and documents.

So, my dad had all of these files because he was an accountant and he was all of his tax info.

It's all of his receipts and stuff.

Now I think about it, it's a bit weird.

Like, my dad would

bring all these.

We'd wheel these filing cabinets up and down.

Maybe quite a rough,

yeah.

God, the fires were

really big.

And he was cackling like an evil villain the whole time as well, which was really weird.

And we all took our clothes off and we all danced around.

Of course, of course.

Yeah, and then we said, Hail Satan.

But no, I mean, the Lewis fireworks are

bonfires, even, are, I think, a long-standing, one of these long-standing British folkloric traditions where

it comes from something like, I think it's probably both Guy Fawkes, which is a huge thing here as a sort of remembrance of the day that the Houses of Parliament nearly got bombed.

And around

a similar time, I think, was there were a lot of martyrs being burned at the stake for believing in Protestantism or whatever.

And so I think

Catholicism?

I don't know.

Which one was it?

Because I think

Guy Fawkes was Catholic, I think.

The Lewis Martyrs were 17 Protestants who were burned at the stake.

So yeah, it was Catholicism.

They decided to burn some.

Did the Catholics burn some Protestants?

Yes.

But the Catholics wasn't.

I can't remember.

I thought this was post-Henry VIII.

Guy Fawkes.

It was.

But there was this thing where they had their...

They had this rough time where there was this Reformation period, remember, where it went back and forth a couple of times.

And as a result it was like they i it was the classic bit of government where henry viih was like right i'm gonna make everyone prostitute so i could have my divorces yeah and then everyone was like and then the next person charged was like let's bring back catholicism right and then the next person charged was like oh

well maybe this is not going to happen exactly so you know what just uh that's how we know that religion has and always will be a force for good oh yeah just been such a fabulous force for good all the people burned and tried to kill each other over but whatever bonfires are weirdly primal though right they're very great they're very sort of staked in our

um rooted in our genes we love fire you know yeah you can imagine a lot for for many hundreds of thousands of years well the guy i saw pass through the fire probably has genes uh skin grafted to his legs now so

i don't think they're great i think he proved himself as a new warrior in the tribe yeah i i i'll get you down to a bonfire Sips, next time you're here.

And we'll do like a...

Just you and Sips.

You bring all your tax files.

I'll bring them all.

God, I'm going to need we're going to need a couple of trucks for this load.

It's got a lot of fun.

My dad taught me everything he knew.

They got a lot of receipts.

All right.

This is from Bob.

This is from Belgian Bob.

Title, Are Brits Stupid?

Brackets Clickbait.

I went on a 10-day trip to the UK with my partner and had some thoughts.

We stayed in Oxford, Bristol, London, Bath, and Cardiff.

I'm from Belgium.

So that's a, there's a lot of cultural overlap.

Jeez, that is a lot of

places.

Yeah.

I live at, but there's also not far, that's really not very far from each other.

Like, I'm not kidding.

If you went from Oxford to London

and then to Bath to Bristol to Cardiff, you could do that.

You could drive that in a day very easily.

Yeah, but I think the UK is

quite maybe unique in that sense, that you can go to all these different places and they are quite different.

Like, I mean, culturally, you know, obviously the same, but like

those, all those places you listed are like quite different to each other, you know, like it's like you'd feel like you, you, you, you really feel like you'd been to some different places in a short period of time, which I, I mean, certainly, Cardiff, I think you could knock that off the end of that list and have a perfectly good holiday.

Anyway, I'm from Belgium, so there's a lot of cultural overlap, which I also don't agree with that, but whatever.

I live in a 270K population university city

where progressive parties get about two-thirds of the vote in elections.

This will be relevant later.

We noticed a lot of warning signs for things that seem extremely obvious to us.

For example, the mind the gap, not only on trained PA systems, but also on posters, etc.

This is obviously with good intentions, but isn't it extremely obvious that you need to be careful when exiting a train?

Would anyone just step out blindly if not for these warnings?

Okay,

well, I just want to

point out that we just spoke about a woman who dipped her finger into soup to test it.

This is the country that we live in.

So, you know, maybe, yes, we do need those things because it turns out there are a lot of fucking idiots.

Sometimes the gap was a lot bigger.

There is some stations the gap is bigger.

Some stations the gap is markedly bigger.

But listen to this.

An occasional mention or poster would make sense, but it's almost incessant.

There was a poster in Cardiff saying there had been 77 gap-related accidents on Transport for Wales trains alone last year, despite all the warnings.

So and similarly, we heard and saw warnings to be careful with hot drinks on the train, to look left or right before crossing, that a road sweeping vehicle was about to turn left etc etc so i i would agree with you that there has been an escalation of things yammer yammering at you incessantly i mean that anything reverses vehicle is reversing beep beep vehicle is reversed like at the sound of a cannon going off it's so loud yeah put mine in the gap the door is closing next station i get it a lot of this stuff i will say has been brought in because there have been genuine accidents and they want to try and prevent them.

But you don't see the look left or look right painted on the road outside london in my experience you don't see it as much in london if you're in central london it has it's painted everywhere look right look left because a lot of tourists come here that are from countries where they're used to looking the other way yeah so they just step out so bear in mind speak english they can see look left and a big arrow pointing left if you say it slow enough they might understand

you said it loudly and slowly enough it is in capital letters left but yes some i mean mind the gap a lot of people do i'm saying sorry we drink a lot over here we do drink a lot over here does does this contribute though towards everyone having a low level of anxiety about everything does it actually like make us feel less safe or make us feel more nervous like or does it actually make us safer certainly i noticed one of the first times we went to america was that there was this sort of like almost passive aggressive sort of way to say instead of saying keep out they would say area off limits for your safety or something like that Do you see what I mean?

And it was almost

your fault if you went through that door.

Well, that's what they want it to be.

They want it to be, well, we did everything we could.

For your safe, yeah.

They're trying to not take any responsibility for you being stupid, which I mean, is understandable, I suppose.

Yeah, but

I mean, it's it.

I think the mind the gap thing is,

I know they say it a lot, but I think it's become like a bit of a, you know, like a catchphrase as well.

So they, they, I think they over egg it sometimes too.

Because like anytime there's anything to do, like the London Olympics or anything to do with London, you always hear that, mind the gap, like mind the gap.

Like it's always sampled into a song or something.

Mind the gap.

Mind the gap.

Fat boy Slim with

mind the gap.

Mind the gap.

I think maybe our Belgian friend, hello, by the way, has

actually gone to relatively touristy places.

And that's why these are you know it's center of oxford was it else else did you say big cities like these are

these are very popular tourist cities and so i guess you know you are there's a lot of school trips there's a lot of you know english tourism that goes goes around english um so and welcome it makes sense that that these places are overly compensating and i think

if you step outside the center of these big cities like lulu says these touristy places they don't give a shit.

You should see the state of the roads around our way.

They don't give a fuck.

Council hasn't done anything.

They're in terrible condition.

And this is true of a lot of places in the UK, is it's all

very much in the shop window that it's all looked after and neat and tidy.

And you go a few feet down, they don't give a fuck.

Oh,

there'll be like a farmer's field with a sinkhole in it.

Exactly.

It leads through to an old mine shop.

And it won't be marked on any map.

There won't be any sign about it.

There'll be like an old rickety bit of barbed wire.

An old man sat there on a stool laughing when people fall in.

That's what it looks like.

They'll be like, try the buffet.

Always calling me big ol' again, you duff bustard.

All right, so Bob goes on.

Greg's.

Greg's is great for a quick, cheap lunch.

Thanks for the information, Bob.

Very cheap, but yet not complete rubbish.

Special shout out to the vegan sausage rolls.

It's true.

We have a similar chain in Belgium, except it's more expensive and shitter.

We did.

What are you talking about?

Greg's is like the cheapest ingredients.

Yeah, but he's saying it's more expensive in Belgium.

And so it is cheap.

As most expensive as they can get away with it.

Not having any Gregg's slander.

I don't think anyone else that listens to this podcast will either, or either.

All right, fine.

You're on an island of one here.

Hey, Greggs.

Hey, Greg Wallace.

Hey, me, Gregs.

No, Sam.

Any Greg.

Hey, Wallace.

Speaking of Greg Wallace, you see, MasterChef is back, but

because it's like the last one they recorded, it's still got

the two nasty men.

Well, they've cut all the banter out, though.

Have they?

So it's like it's just

they're basically being like, hi, and then that goes straight to the bottom.

And then you'll get to see their dumb puke faces when they're trying to eat stuff as well.

Like, oh,

oh, the one,

the guy from New Zealand looks like he's going to, he's going to hurl every time.

He's got like John T.

Rode.

Yeah, yeah.

Or John Tarode.

I thought it was John T.

Rode.

John Taraude being tarred incredibly by the Greg.

Well, he was racist.

He's collateral damage, and he's racist.

He's had.

I think the problem is

not comparative, though, isn't it?

Do you think that if Greg Wallace hadn't gone down and then probably been the one to raise it with the BBC, he wouldn't have dragged John Taraude down with him?

Maybe it would have been awkward for him to

do, though.

Like, you know,

he's like last man.

Shadow of Wallace thing, yeah.

God, yeah.

Well, fuck him.

Oh, can I just say we spoke about Greg Wallace prior to

his cancellation and we've spoken about Sidney Sweeney a bit a few weeks ago.

And now she's up for a good solid cancellation as well.

Why?

Because of the genes commercial?

So that, and also she's a registered Republican.

And in this era, if you're a registered Republican, that basically means you're voting for Trump.

And a lot of people were like, hang on a minute.

She's a good idea.

There's Republicans that don't support Trump, though, right?

A lot of them bite the bullet and hold their noses and vote for him, which I couldn't do.

If you are dumb and rich, who are you going to vote for?

You're going to vote for the person who keeps you rich.

That is all.

That is all.

You're just going to be rich anyway, though, really, aren't you?

Like, these people aren't.

You just have to really go out of your way to fall out of business.

You care about nothing other than themselves.

All she cares about is herself and holding on to as much of her money as possible and being as rich as possible.

And that's where Elon and Zuckerberg and all these people come down.

It's all they care about.

How is he going to, how are these guys going to lose any money, though?

Or enough money to be destitute?

Like, Because someone might raise taxes and it might

have it.

So that's that.

Even then, though, I mean, come on, man.

You've got more money.

These guys have more money than

they would ever know what to spend it all on.

They don't spend

enough yachts in the world for them to waste all their money on.

It's a dick measuring concept.

They're comparing themselves constantly with other people and having this.

They're dragons sat on their hordes and comparing their hordes.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

I mean, if he took away half their wealth, they'd still be richer richer than everyone.

Yeah, absolutely.

If you took half of their money,

but they don't think of it that way.

Like, they don't even, you know, what annoys me is if you think about what rich people seem to used to be like, they would like build shit.

Like, they would say, like, I'm going to build a bridge or I'm going to build this amazing.

Yeah, but I think oftentimes they built shit because it did directly benefit them.

Oh, I'm sure it did.

Like, all those bridges and all the railroads and all that crap that was built.

I mean, it did serve industry at the time.

They had an investment.

It did also have a corollary benefit.

And there were, in the Industrial Revolution, there were quite a few British industrialists, very wealthy industrialists, that formed something called the Lunar Society.

And their whole thing was, how can we make life better for the average British person?

Yeah, well, I'm not sure.

Maybe that does not exist.

Go up and read all about it.

That does not exist.

These guys getting together and saying, right, we're successful.

We're British.

What can we do to help our country?

That's gone.

Now it's just about power for the individual.

It's all fiefdoms or fiefdoms.

I'm sure, I'm actually positive it's going to change because this happened because history repeats itself.

It's going to get worse.

I'm positive it's going to change because

we've started to see the backlash with things like Luigi Mangioni, right?

Like we've started to see the hatred of the rich and instead of the elevation of them, right?

It's a new idea that the rich are scum and we need to bring them down from their high tower.

And all it'll take is another couple of Luigi Mangiones before they start getting scared, like they did in the 1900s.

Because

in the 1900s, they suddenly decided to start spinning and working on their image and making donations and

changing the world

just to stay alive.

I think there have been a couple of Luigi copycats, but

you haven't heard about them.

They just won't, they don't want to draw a lot of attention to it.

But there's been like two or three other ones that are like quite similar with people who are like CEOs of

quite big companies that are.

It's a groundswell of kind of it's a it's a it's a it's a direction that we're going in.

I think a lot of people agree that these there's too much inequality, that they are too rich and something will be done.

And as soon as it will be, you know, as soon as someone has the balls to do it,

the question is, is that can they do it?

Do you know what I mean?

The rich, the rich give so much money and have such an influence on politics that they can, you know, even like, I read yesterday, it was like, you know, Trump approval rate or whatever amongst the Republicans, the red, the red sort of states voters.

Even with everything that's happened over the last year, he's gone from like 99% popular to 98% popular.

Amongst people who voted for him, you mean?

Yeah.

It's like the people who vote for him, he can basically do anything.

And they're on board.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

It is.

It is nuts.

But I think I always feel like

the way, you know, like the way that people support Trump hated Biden, they hate Biden the same way that people

hate Trump.

You know,

there's no middle ground.

It's just a pure hatred.

They're

always looking for more reasons to hate him.

Like he's just, it's impossible for him to ever redeem himself sort of thing.

It's the same.

It's like a fanatical hatred, right?

Not necessarily the problem.

The Democrats also are so scared of taxing the rich and they didn't do anything.

And that's,

still think that's

that they all get paid by the same people, ultimately.

Yeah.

And so the politics, you know, I mean, but people have been saying this for years and years and years.

There's no difference.

But I think

there is a difference.

I think maybe people are starting to wake up a little bit to it now.

But I mean, even like, even in like, even in like the late 90s, people were saying, what's the difference between Gore and Bush?

You know, like, it's, it, it has been a, it has has been a topic for a long time.

But hold on, hold on.

People keep saying this, oh, they're both as bad as each other.

If you can say that with the current politics in America,

you are fucking insane.

They're as bad as each other.

Clearly not.

No,

I'm not saying that they're both, that one is good and one is bad.

I think I'm saying that one is just incompetently shit, and that's the Democrats.

They're doing nothing.

Yeah, yeah.

And one is literally evil.

Yeah.

I think

you.

You cannot be saying, i'm not saying you i'm saying people cannot be so they're both terrible off yeah like if you if you take away the the insane aspects of it and strip it down just to like like the like the sort of run-of-the-mill political stuff right like uh passing a bill to to cut taxes or passing a bill to do what you know like sensible stuff not not the fucking super insane shit that's been happening recently um that they're both kind of the same right like uh like you have you have an element of it that is like so far right, but then the rest of it is kind of like just in the middle, and they're all quite happily taking money from the same people.

I feel like you don't, you, you, there's no representation for people that want anything different, you know what I mean?

Like, the money is just all the same.

It just happens now that Trump is insane and

it's like it's super polarizing.

But, um, but like,

like in an average, you know, uh, cycle, like political cycle or election cycle or whatever, there's not much difference.

But I mean, of course, there's a big difference now because Trump is mad.

He's a mad man.

I mean, the thing is, you genuinely shouldn't have wild differences between the two major parties because whichever country you live in, culturally speaking, most people in there are going to lean one way or the other.

They shouldn't be fleeing and running one way or the other.

They shouldn't be so polarized that one group feels completely

represented and the other also feels completely unrepresented.

yeah that's not healthy and what you end up then is what you have in america where it's totally divisive politics and they're at war with each other over everything oh it is yeah it's like it's like it's like a team sport it's like there's no there's like no middle ground whatsoever like at least in some places there is some middle ground you know like you'll have policies you don't agree with but then you'll have stuff that you don't mind so much but it's never so uh polarizing that you feel completely used to being franchised this is a recent development this polarization, and it is very, very strong.

It was pretty bad during Reagan.

It was pretty bad during Thatcher as well.

And that's like the early 80s.

So, like, I think that a lot of this stuff,

there's a lot more emphasis on it now, but a lot of this stuff has been going on for decades, probably most of our lives, but it just has seemed a lot more stable at points.

But, like, if you look back to some of Thatcher's policies, you look back to Reagan's policies, people were super fucking pissed off, like a lot of the time as well it's it's kind of a miracle that they got in the first place but then a lot of them got in in the first place for the same shit that people are getting in for now anti-immigration you know oh you know stop close the borders stop the boats all this it's been it's just been going on forever it is it is literally history repeating itself all the time it is burning the gypsies tricks on it is burning the gypsies in 16 it's burning the protestants in lewis it that's what it is it comes always comes back to the same shit people are pissed off about 10 things, but they hyper-focus on one thing that they can get mega-pissed about, and that's what swings their voting.

It is just the same old tricks.

We'll never get any better either, as long as all these systems remain the same.

As long as there's a lot of money involved and the influence is coming from the outside, I don't even think politicians have that much power anymore.

I think it's all the money that's coming in from other people influencing it and has been for quite some some time.

I think since the 80s, easily, if not before.

I mean, all the shit with Nixon was happening even before, and that was the 70s.

So like, it's been going on for a while.

I think the last time anything big happened, progressively happened, was probably in the 60s during like

civil rights or whatever.

And then since then, it's just been the war on drugs, the war on terror, the war on immigration, the war on, you know what I mean?

It's just, it's just keeping people stupid and scared of

think about that.

Those movements, those movements, the civil rights movement and the hippie movement and the anti-war movement, that didn't come from politics.

That wasn't some Democrat politician standing up or some Republican politician standing up and doing something the right thing.

That came from the people.

Like that is what we are lacking is a coordinated.

genuinely organized protest group.

People are stupid though.

They'll cut their nose off despite their face every single time.

They don't have the info.

It's a knee-jerk.

It's stupid.

It's like speaking speaking to

it it's like speaking to an everyday person you know like you get into a taxi cab and you and you think about you listen to this podcast and you hear about politics and stuff we're not informed but i don't even think politicians are that informed anymore either you know what i mean like it's like

they are so slow this fucking this act that's come in the online safety act is the most miserably disorganized and wrong-headed piece of legislation that i think i've seen in a while so if you're not in the uk we've just basically have now have to upload a picture of our face if we want to visit specific websites like Pornhart.

Yeah, and people are using like Gary's mod to pose faces to provide and death stranding as well, right?

And obviously, it doesn't work.

And

VPN sales have gone, you know, 300% through the roof, you know, as everyone's using them to just, oh, it's like, oh, I'm in Belgium now.

Okay,

just access the internet as normal diverted commas if the internet wasn't already like absolutely completely smothered by full-page nonsense and ads and everything behind some sort of weird all these news sites being behind paywalls and having like being absolutely plastered by ads.

News is just in such a disaster, the internet in general.

And quite frankly, like all these news sites are owned by the same person anyway.

Oh, don't get me started.

All right, let's move on to happier things.

How about that?

I'm only happy when I'm ranting.

But I

want to be ranting.

I can't look at Sidney Sweetie's tips anymore because she's the Republican of my life.

I'm finding it hard to get hard when I look at that woman.

She has pissed me off so much.

Oh my God.

I think they're great.

They've got active noise cancelling.

They connect to multiple devices at once.

So I like switch between my iPad and my phone.

I've found them really comfortable and haven't even noticed they're there.

I honestly think they're great.

And also, there's loads of really cool colours.

I got sent in the blue ones, which are so bright that it means that I haven't accidentally lost them anywhere because I always sort of notice if I'm going to leave them somewhere.

They've never run out of battery.

Apparently, they've got like 32 hours of battery life and they charge up real quick.

It takes 10 minutes to give you 90 minutes of playtime.

All right, this is from Cranberry, who says,

this is a really, this is a refreshingly stupid subject that we can discuss instead of something depressing.

Oh, sorry,

that was like a sound.

How did that start?

This is a big shit sample.

When and how did that start?

It was, it was.

I just mentioned Sidney Sweeney.

I'm so sorry.

Got us all fucked up.

Don't do that.

I'm sorry.

Don't do that.

Isn't sorry to that other actor, though?

What was that guy's name?

Quentin?

Not Quentin.

Tarantino.

No, no, not Tarantino.

Who is that really run-of-the-mill actor in looks and roles?

Glenn Campbell?

Yeah, Glenn campbell that's it no way are you talking about i think i think that or or were they on screen married maybe it was on screen marriage can i just say uh when i was in japan we watched twisters because we were stuck for something to watch in the evening right what a piece of

what a piece of

porno twisters twisters yeah it does sound like a the name of a of a porno you're thinking of the game twister twisters oh it's the new twisters twisters the new one the original twister wasn't great No, the original was bad.

They made a sequel, but it's got the most stereotypical thing in it, right?

This is what annoys me.

And I think, honestly,

this idea Americans love, where being book smart and going to a university and getting a degree and being a scientist, I don't need no science education to tell me how to do it.

Yeah, yeah, they just know in their gut.

Yeah, they just know.

They just look at it, and by feel, they're like, that's a cat force.

Like, oh, yeah, yeah, they can smell a piece of dirt on the ground.

They're like, yeah, storms are brewing.

All these clever science boffins.

But then they use terminology.

to describe the tornado and predict it.

And they use all this.

Yeah, it's because they're all former scientists gone rogue.

Yeah, I used to work in the lab, but I didn't like the way that they did things.

They held me back.

I want to throw myself into a tornado.

They said, don't do it.

I work in the hell, but it didn't like how things were done.

Let me throw myself in a tornado.

And they wouldn't give me a grandfather.

So I said, science.

You always have a son and a daughter who are like tornado experts as well.

Well, Lil Mary Lou knows when there's a cat five coming.

She can smell it in the air.

My boy's hair stands on him when the tornadoes come.

We put him on top of a truck.

Yeah,

you basically just wrote

the screenplay for Twisters, probably.

I'd imagine that that is the movie, right?

Yeah.

Oh, can I just say Sidney Sweeney's initials SS?

Yeah.

Think about it.

Drinking straws, are you a one-holer or a two-holer?

This comes back from the formula, what is a room topic?

Is there a hole at each side of the straw or one hole which starts at one side and ends at the other?

So the question is, are there two holes in a straw or is it just one hole?

Like on the on the other topic, I am firmly in the I don't give a fuck camp.

I think that's a good camp.

If anybody wants to join me, we got pretzels.

I think there was a collection of drinks with no straws.

You got a fucking buffer.

Yeah, you can dip your your finger in the super.

We're not even in a room.

We're in a field.

No straws, snacks, good times.

All right.

So here's one.

This is from Ben, not our Ben, a different Ben.

Ben.

I listened to the podcast.

No, no, that was Bob.

Oh, sorry.

I was listening to the podcast, specifically the mailbag special number 49.

I was very surprised to hear a direct-to-consumer pharma ad come on.

I was wondering about the logistics of this.

Do you choose the adverts to come on mid-roll?

I'm asking because I work in pharma and UK advertising of pharma products, especially ones that are marketed in the UK, in this case, one called, I can't remember the name, is illegal.

Yeah, I think a lot of it's targeted.

So like if you've been

watching stuff or, you know, you're doing your normal perusing on the internet or whatever,

it builds up a profile for you and serves you ads that things are appropriate for you.

We do not pick the ads.

And if we did pick the ads, there's no way we'd pick a pharma ad.

We pick an ad for like something stupid, like a dildo or or something like that.

So there's no way to do that.

We do pick the ones that we do record.

We do use the voice.

The ones that we voice are things that we've, you know, been paid for to

promote.

Those are, those are, we've picked those.

But I will say,

we get offers that we say no because we don't use that product or we don't like it.

Yeah, like we, if we get it, we had the opportunity at one point to do some stuff for vaping and we said no because we thought you got to think of the kids, you know?

Did we?

What if there there are kids watching this and they're like, oh shit, those guys vape?

They like vaping, so we thought we do have

a no list.

Our no list is like medical stuff, financial stuff, like well, like there's a few others that when it comes up, you know, but no crypto, no gambling, yeah, um, no porn, nothing that's bad for you.

Um, what was what was another one?

Oh, yeah, nothing that's positive about women.

Nothing that's positive about women.

Yeah, it's just saying

that we can really get a full hate on for women.

Yeah, when we're like, we hate women,

we hate them so much.

If you hate women too, subscribe to our additional Patreon podcast feed, wehatewomen.com.

That's what it's called.

Oh, my God.

A lot of people, like, they, you know, they try to gloss.

Well, people love that.

They try to gloss it over and stuff.

I feel like

if you want to just be racist or you want to hate women or you want to hate a demographic or whatever, just be, just be more upfront about it.

Master Chef, yeah, join MasterChef, too.

That's a good thing.

They're looking to replace some old duds, so they got

some new blood.

Yeah,

damn.

All right, though, this is, we were talking about multi-level marketing in Mormon communities.

Oh, yeah.

I watched a documentary about Mormon.

Right, I think that's what brought it up.

So, this is from the epicenter of MLMs being in Mormon country as well.

Right, exactly.

So this is from Cody.

Right.

And Cody says that they were going to talk about MLMs in the LDS communities, but instead, this anecdote.

One time I was hanging out at the house of a Mormon friend and a family.

The mom was having a video call with her husband, who was stationed overseas.

And the dad wasn't getting the video feed.

It was just, for him, it was just an audio call.

Thinking it was just the two of them, he said, we'll hurry up and get to the bedroom so I can pull my cocky out for you.

Me and my friend, the daughter, the mother's mother, were all in hearing range and all went white in the face.

The mother began laughing anxiously and said, Oh, whoops, everyone's in the room here, hon.

The look on that man's face has forever seared into my mind.

I think it was the most traumatic thing that happened to him in the Middle East.

Much love, Cody.

Jesus Christ.

Wow.

Just, just,

just

Mormon cock.

Imagine seeing a Mormon cock

whipping it out of his

special magical underpants.

Look at my Mormon cock, honey.

Multi-level marketing.

Here you go.

Jesus Christ.

That's crazy.

To me, how does that?

That is like early onset dementia must be, right?

I don't know.

I think he's just, when he's on a call with her, stationed overseas, he probably gets quite horny for Mrs.

Mormon.

And, you know, that's a thing they do together.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

He doesn't realize that there's a whole bunch of other people there.

He thinks it's just him and his wife and husbands and wives can do that kind of thing.

And, you know, he's not saying, hey, I understand you've got company.

Turn the camera so they can see my cock.

Like, that's not what he's saying.

Man's just trying to get some obviousness action with his lips.

It's kind of rude, though.

You're in a room full of people and you haven't offered it out to everyone else.

You should really share.

Yeah.

You should really share.

Don't be shy, everybody.

There's enough cock for everybody on this class.

Like a teacher.

I understand that, Mr.

Lovis, that you have a penis you'd like to show the rest of the class.

Well, perhaps you could share it with all of us.

Yeah.

Who cares?

Who's why people come up with like private language for their, to share with their partner, you know, because then it's because, you know, he could, you know, he could have said something like,

Mr.

Fluffy is hungry.

That's kind of worse in some ways, though, isn't it?

It's kind of weird.

I mean, it's, it's bad.

It's bad on both counts.

I just, it is, it is kind of bad to just be like, I don't know.

Like, I get like not, you know, beating around the bush or whatever and just come straight out with it, but it's still like, it's very forward, isn't it?

That's what he was looking to do.

Go to the bedroom so I can get my cock and my balls out and show them to you.

You know, like, it's

kind of like robotic.

It's like, it's a bit weird.

It is a little bit.

But then it's kind of weird as well.

It's like, would Mr.

Fluffy like to come out

of his fun cave to see?

Oh, Mr.

Fluffy, look, it's sunny out today.

It's fucking weird, man.

Like, what?

Why are people like this?

The fucking person dipping her finger in the soup, the cock and balls on call guy.

Like, fucking behave yourselves out there.

What's going on?

Like,

we live in a society.

I know it's been said, but man, come on.

Like, there's a lot of people I'm sure that don't do any of this shit.

We have to have all those warning signs.

We should have more warning signs.

Please keep your cock and balls inside their trousers.

Fucking announceable.

All right, let's move on.

This will be more fun, and this will calm you right down, Sims.

Okay, I promise.

What is your birth date?

Just the date, not the year.

My birthday is the 5th of June.

Okay, and we'll do it for this one as well.

Lewis, what is your birthday?

I'm going to save you a lot of time here, Flax.

I share a birthday with the streamer Ninja and also with Mark

Burg.

That is sadly not it.

This is from Matt, a microscopic penis haver, Matt.

This is a game, if you type Florida Man and your birthday,

you get a Florida Man story just for your birthday.

So,

I did 5th of June.

That was you, Sips.

Let's here's well, this is at the top one.

Federal jury finds man guilty of posing as a flight attendant to obtain free flights.

So, that's what a Florida guy did.

He pretended to be a flight attendant just to sneak onto a plane.

Pretty clever.

We've all been there before.

Pretty clever, yeah.

Lulu, I'm just going to find one for you.

Florida man breaks into a woman's house, sits on her couch, and makes unusual requests.

I don't think this is a particularly good one.

Let's find a better one.

Florida Man, the Florida Man, here we go, shoots neighbor.

Oh, no, I can't read that one.

Florida Man,

stand to death while high in LSD.

Yours are all awful.

Tell me about it.

Okay, Florida Man.

He's accused of having sex with a frozen toy at Target.

Oh, so he had sex with a toy from the Smash Hit Frozen in the middle of a Target, and it was a stuffed unicorn that he went for.

Oh, my God.

What are people doing?

I don't know.

My one is

a Florida man believed he was half man, half dog during fatal attack.

He was biting on someone's face while making growling noises.

Oh my god.

Yeah,

God.

That's Florida for you.

Why is Florida like this?

Have you been there?

I've been there a couple of times, yeah.

I don't remember it being

young when you went, so I don't remember it being didn't you go to Disney World or something?

I did, yeah.

All right, so here's what the rest of Florida is like.

Here's what the rest of Florida is like.

It's a wilderness of mosquitoes, alligators, swamp, and there is nothing.

There's nothing higher than a man anywhere in the entire state.

It's so flat.

It's just a giant sandbar.

At the edges, it's beach, it's sun.

There's occasionally sharks and stuff.

It's quite pleasant.

Inland, it is the hell of America.

It is the worst part.

It is the stinky, sweaty armpit of of America.

It is dreadful.

And if you go inland and you drive around and you see what the people are like, it is like that because there is nothing.

You cannot see further.

There is no horizon.

That has to have a serious effect on people's brains.

There's nothing.

I didn't watch it.

No, I.

It's sweaty.

boring.

It's a nightmare to get anywhere.

It's just driving and all you are seeing is the same swamp over and over.

And there's no change of scenery.

So when you touch Tiger King, because I just was kind of like, I just thought, you know what?

I just don't want to watch a documentary about

an insane American person.

I'd just seen enough at that point, you know?

So I think that's a good thing.

Well, it is quite fun.

I didn't watch it.

It is quite fun.

Yeah.

It is quite fun.

But it's just, it just gets to you.

And they do a hell of a load of meth down there.

And it's just a fucking dump and depressing.

I mean, you could talk to both.

She's from Florida.

She's from the shittest part of Florida, which is the Western E-bit, which is even worse than the Eastern E-Bit.

But she's not in Florida now, though.

Isn't she in the UK now?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But she obviously is from Florida.

Right.

She's lucky to have gotten out.

What a dump.

Awful, awful, awful, awful.

I have nothing nice to say about Florida.

No, nice places.

Name one.

Well, I mean, Boba's old city, St.

Petersburg.

Actually, like some nice, but nice bits of it, honestly.

The Dali Museum was nice.

Had a nice visit to that.

And

like Tampa Bay

Aquarium, which was nice.

Bots.

Something like that.

Puke.

There's some good bits.

Went to nice beaches.

Some nice.

The beaches are nice.

The problem is you're still in Florida when you get off the beach.

It's a violent, drug-infested hellhole.

I think also, though, within reason.

Yeah, so that depends where you go.

And I think some places are, it's the same here, right?

It's the same everywhere.

It's not.

Florida is worse.

It's not careful.

Even Americans know this.

Even Floridians know this.

They're not just making this up.

It's true.

It's got huge, huge retirement villages and huge mega-rich mansions and huge, like some places are absolutely staggeringly beautiful and wonderful in Florida.

It's got everything.

It's a bit of everything.

It has some pretty bits, I will say that.

It's got toothless, meth-addicted lunatics yelling, get off my land and shooting you, and driving like crazy and drug people,

all the Miami drug Cuban vibe.

Miami's a whole thing.

And let me give you some advice.

If you're ever in Florida, it is a stand-your-ground state, which means that if you suspect, just suspect and can reasonably demonstrate that you thought you were in danger you don't have to try and run away you can just start shooting like you can just fucking Danny DeVito start blazing away

and they'll be like

fair enough

we got him got him he was he was looking funny he had brown skin quick

quick one from uh from a listener uh you and always you and lewis always say going down to bristol or coming down to bristol but on a map it is not south or down at all well uh good question I do tend to say I'm coming down to Britain.

It's like northwest for you, Flex.

Good point.

Barely, barely.

I mean, if you look at a map, it's almost a direct straight shot left.

Like, I just go left.

In fact, it is almost exactly parallel with Twickenham, Bristol.

In fact, where I stay in Bristol, it might be one degree of

longitude up.

I think Cornwall as the bottom, though, right?

The bottom shape.

You sure do.

Because England faces Europe, right?

England faces Europe.

And Cornwall is like the tail.

I find that

the shape

of the UK looks like

the pound symbol a little bit, you know?

It's got like

they did it.

Yeah.

But

England is facing away from Europe, the butt, which is normal.

Yeah, it's showing its butt.

We're giving our ass to Europe.

And we're riding that pig

straight to the middle of the Atlantic, where we'd be, I'm sure, would be much happier just alone.

I know, I always see like the Scotland as like the nose with the Edinburgh mouth.

Do you know what I mean?

Do you always see that massive

UK man riding pig?

I need to look that up.

Yeah.

All right, here we go.

I will show you the image.

I'll pop it into Discord for you.

This is going to change.

Is this like that time you see Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob on the Olympic

or whatever?

Yeah.

On the Olympics, Olympics 2012.

There he is.

A bearded man riding a pig.

A bearded man riding.

Yeah, it does look like a bearded man.

Bearded man riding a pig.

No, I've put it in the little pig.

I like this.

I can get behind this.

See, look at him go.

A little pig is the bottom half.

Yeah.

And then the bearded man is a little bit more like that.

What does Ireland ride to you?

Well, no, it's just that we don't know what that is.

I think that's just the background.

He's zooming past, and there's like something in the background that's Ireland.

Yeah, a cloud.

I don't like this.

The bearded man is like vomiting.

Yeah, it looks like those little clouds.

It looks like he's.

It looks like a big

huge vape cloud.

He's vaping on a pig.

It's coming out.

Yeah, or like spitting, or he's like, oh, he's a big pig.

Here's an alternative one, if you want to see this one.

This

also gives Ireland a job.

It is a witch riding a pig.

Oh, and there's an owl trying to land on the...

Or is it an eagle?

She's spooked an owl.

And that crookedy bit that you thought was vomit is, in fact, the witch's nose.

So it is a witch riding a pig.

It does look like a witch riding a pig.

The pig looks like it's melting, though.

Indeed.

Indeed.

And maybe the witch does as well.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just, you know.

london 2012 it can be whatever you want the gap london 2012 is it the symbol london 2012 symbol lisa simply oh my god i can't unsee that now it's a 20 it's a 2012 but it does look that is unbelievable

maybe she's just having like a like a like a look her colleague's penis has uh been injured and she's

she's doing the decent thing and having a look.

Very kind of her.

My colleague.

Excuse me, my penis has been injured.
