Speaker 6 Hello, friends, welcome back to the Triforce Podcast.

Speaker 1 This is Mailbag episode. I hope you're ready.

Speaker 6 Right, I'm ready. Right into it.

Speaker 1 I bet you've gotten this email at least four times. The Blades of Glory style curling movie Sips was thinking of is called Men with Brooms.

Speaker 4 Men with Brooms. And it's

Speaker 4 features a scrappy Canadian underdog team that have to face down a flamboyant american team i knew there was a curling movie out there somewhere there you go right there you go there you go that's my

Speaker 1 i knew it straight out of the gate with a good correction great same leslie dielson in it oh

Speaker 4 there you go yeah

Speaker 1 he's uh someone's dad i think probably you know it's it's funny his whole career was just based around being a straight guy like the the straight man who was actually being funny he was so funny though he was so good at it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the reason that they got him to do airplane in the first place was because he'd always played these very sort of stiff, very formal characters.

Speaker 1 Turns out he was a comedic, you know, he was brilliant at comedic timing and all that.

Speaker 17 He was a great comic actor, but he never would have been.

Speaker 14 Hey, listen, before

Speaker 18 straight.

Speaker 4 Just speaking of

Speaker 4 people who were

Speaker 4 once famous and now and now gone, have you guys seen the Pee Wee Herman documentary?

Speaker 19 What? He's not Pee Week.

Speaker 4 Pee-Wee as himself. Yeah, yeah, he died a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Did he really? God, I fucking missed that.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 4 If you want to see an interesting documentary, it's two parts. It's all about his life, rise to fame, controversy.

Speaker 10 I loved Pee-Wee Herman.

Speaker 1 I know he was a bit of a, you know, he masturbated in public theaters and stuff, but geez, if that's the worst.

Speaker 17 Who hasn't been caught at the rank?

Speaker 22 Well, in the locals.

Speaker 19 Me,

Speaker 14 my arm is up in the air right now.

Speaker 4 I've never been caught.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah, no, that's true. We've never been caught.

Speaker 4 I'm not saying I don't do it. I'm just saying nobody's ever caught me doing it, which is, you know, another thing entirely.
No, it's interesting.

Speaker 4 If you haven't seen it, Pee-Wee as himself, I recommend it. It's really good, really interesting.
Especially if you have some nostalgia for the Pee-Wee Playhouse show, which I used to watch on.

Speaker 24 It was a good show.

Speaker 25 It was honestly...

Speaker 4 Pee-wee's Big Adventure was Tim Burton's big first movie.

Speaker 26 Really?

Speaker 27 As well, which is interesting. I love that movie as well.

Speaker 1 Ruby Herman in the 80s was like uh if you haven't heard of him you go look it up it seems weird he was it was genuinely you'd never seen a kids tv show like it was it was so bizarre and and funny and and just utterly crazy and it's still can't i can't believe it got made that's really interesting yeah i mean the it started as like they did it it was like a uh a series of of plays that they did with an improv group in in la

Speaker 4 he was big into he used to be really good friends with uh phil hartman as well Phil Hartman was originally one of the characters in the Pee Wee sort of stage show that they used to do locally for like, you know, 100 people at midnight on a Saturday night or whatever.

Speaker 4 And then it just gained momentum from there and got it just got really, really big. It became like a cult thing.
And then

Speaker 4 they said, oh, do you want to make a movie? Do you want to make a TV show or whatever? And he was like, yeah, sure. He just ran with it.

Speaker 25 It's really.

Speaker 1 I can't believe this. But the Pee-Wee Herman debuted in 1979.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's like the, that's what i'm saying the stage the stage show was like really early on

Speaker 19 the show

Speaker 4 it was like uh 1986 yeah he went on he so it was like a persona that he created for this show and he would go on to like he would go on to like uh like news radio shows as pee wee herman he went he went on the dating show as pee wee herman like it was just he was like uh you know he he liked being like sort of he liked doing like that like he was very like artistic he liked doing all the wow you know yeah i think he was brilliant yeah

Speaker 1 speaking of Pee Wee Herman, here's a follow-up email: Triforce, the straightest guy you know, which is obviously not Paul Rubens. Hey, period, long time listener, first-time male bagger.

Speaker 1 I was listening to the podcast on the train and was cracking up a sip talking about the straightest guy you could think of with the builders in his house.

Speaker 1 It reminded me of a reality TV show called Playing It Straight from the early 2000s, where a mix of gay and straight men entered a dude ranch and competed to woo a lady.

Speaker 1 Each week, she would eliminate who she thought was gay,

Speaker 1 as they were not in it for love, and would get a cash prize if she was right.

Speaker 24 She ended up picking the straight guy.

Speaker 1 It was very much of its time, very much so, and it's aged pretty poorly, as you can imagine.

Speaker 1 But there is a somewhat nice silver lining of one of the final men being the most obviously straight, turning out to be gay and going on the show to challenge stereotypes.

Speaker 1 Do you have any guilty pleasure TV shows or shows that haven't aged well?

Speaker 26 Touch the Truck always

Speaker 1 struck me as something that you wouldn't get made nowadays. And of course, its sequel, Touch the Kids, but it was

Speaker 19 a long time ago.

Speaker 28 Back then, that kind of thing just happened, you know.

Speaker 25 Nowadays,

Speaker 4 we were talking about Little Britain the other day in chat while I was streaming, and that's one that has not aged very well at all.

Speaker 1 I mean, I hated it at the time, and now looking back, I despise it.

Speaker 4 At the time, some of it I found very funny, but

Speaker 4 it was just such a weird time. I feel like for me, I don't know if this is correct or not, but I feel like that was like one of the last sort of big mainstream shows that was on before

Speaker 4 uh we had a lot of like uh political correctness and you know um canceling people and and all that kind of stuff i feel like that was like maybe the last the last show not that i i look back and think like oh i wish we could go back to those days because when you look back on a lot of the humor and the jokes some of it is just dire like it has not it has not aged well at all it's just weird but at the time i remember some of it being very funny you know like i just uh i don't know it was some of it was very like simplistic and whatever, but yeah, I think it was very funny.

Speaker 4 For me, that's a huge, a huge, like, hasn't aged well show.

Speaker 28 I'm sure a lot of people feel like it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 It was so heavily sort of catchphrase. Like, I don't even, I've watched like a handful of bits of episodes because I've never liked it.
But people loved a catchphrase and a repeated sketch.

Speaker 1 Computer says no. Wasn't that one of them?

Speaker 1 That's still a thing that people say, which was just a sketch where a guy is, I don't know, he's working in various places and someone asks a question, and they tap it, and oh, computer says no.

Speaker 1 So it's like, but that was it. And it was, it was like, what, how is that a fucking sketch that gets into everybody's brains?

Speaker 1 It's so bizarre.

Speaker 30 Oh, man. Yeah.

Speaker 19 I don't know.

Speaker 4 It's, it's, like I said, like, I can never predict it. Some of it I found like not like not too bad.
And then some of it.

Speaker 13 I think the touch the truck genre was a big deal. This is where you had to hold on to something for as long as you possibly could.

Speaker 13 It died in the wake of that woman who died holding a Wii for a Wii or whatever.

Speaker 17 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's like, yeah, it was like the Stephen King

Speaker 1 adaptation that's about to come out called The Long Walk, where people just have to walk at a certain pace and Last Man Standing wins a billion dollars or whatever.

Speaker 1 It was one of his Richard Backman novellas back in the day, and now they've adapted it.

Speaker 1 And I mean, it's pretty amazing that they decided to make a movie about this because it's quite a short story and it's literally just a bunch of lads walking.

Speaker 1 And if they lag behind for too long, they get shot. Like that's.

Speaker 13 It feels like people have been a lot more creative with that in things like Squid Game.

Speaker 13 Or even like Mr. Beast, fucking, I hate to say it.
He's brought this shit back. Remember, with like how I'm sure he did a similar thing where he had like YouTubers

Speaker 13 competing for how long they could stay in a hot tub or some shit. I hope fuck though.

Speaker 31 I don't know. Who knows?

Speaker 1 It's just semi-dangerous stuff that eventually someone will die doing and it'll will move on again and then it'll come back around.

Speaker 11 But it doesn't sound that dangerous.

Speaker 13 That's the thing, Like touching a truck doesn't sound dangerous or holding your we doesn't sound dangerous. And it was never advertised as such, right? It was never promoted as

Speaker 27 holding your we for a week.

Speaker 13 It was like an endurance sport that an average person could

Speaker 13 say, I could do that.

Speaker 13 I could stay up all night touching a truck.

Speaker 27 I could hold my wee for ages.

Speaker 32 Why not just do it?

Speaker 4 I should be able to show you if you if you think you could do just like going to Keshi's castle or something, like that's fine. You're not probably not going to die on that, you know? Like

Speaker 4 it's a it's a good format just go on something like that

Speaker 13 right you have these people who you get everyone around you just film them all some of them drop out immediately and then there's one or two people who just stay on for ages and then they argue with each other and they you know and that's it you know you create a little bit of it's it's lazy lazy reality tv was so alluring because it was unscripted unpredictable real in a sense like it was it was

Speaker 13 and it's like if you film for long enough something interesting happens you know because you've got a bunch of weirdos together you've deliberately picked the weirdest people who applied yeah yeah and and that's what you get this is how all these things still go today anyway let's get on with the mailbag

Speaker 4 Lewis and the sips dream controversy right don't worry it's not this is not going in the direction you immediately imagined that it would I do what do you know what I'm I'm pretty open I'm pretty loose like I didn't I don't I haven't I haven't considered where this is going I'm I'm intrigued though.

Speaker 1 Okay, I was having a dream the other day where I was driving my partner to work usually I like to leave music on but my partner has been enjoying the podcast so I'll play that in the car anyway as I was taking a turn in my dream the podcast was finishing up you'd said something I can't remember but afterwards Sipped dropped Sips dropped the N-word with the hardest R I have ever heard.

Speaker 1 I can still hear him saying it in my head. Lewis immediately busted into laughter finding the whole thing hilarious.
You didn't respond. My partner covered their mouth in shock.

Speaker 1 I don't remember anything else from the dream other than Sip's rampant racism and the podcast editor's refusal to remove it. Thanks, Brian.

Speaker 36 Wow.

Speaker 4 Gosh, Brian.

Speaker 13 So that was one of the earlier episodes.

Speaker 22 It's a different time.

Speaker 14 Yeah, we've sold into a groove now.

Speaker 21 We edit our podcast.

Speaker 32 Times were different back then.

Speaker 13 It was the heady days of 2017.

Speaker 19 When Britain was still on TV, and

Speaker 4 it was cool to be racist back then, but things have changed a lot now.

Speaker 13 It was a different era. Trump was in charge.
Oh,

Speaker 4 wait, in 2018, oh, yeah, of course, in 2018.

Speaker 25 2016 was the first 2016, yeah.

Speaker 1 And we started, I think, in 2017, I would say.

Speaker 15 Did we actually start in 2017?

Speaker 31 It was a different era. It was different.

Speaker 26 Have a look. I will tell you what.

Speaker 29 We were allowed to say whatever.

Speaker 31 Anyone.

Speaker 21 Triforce podcast.

Speaker 26 Triforce sought by

Speaker 1 videos.

Speaker 4 This has been looked for before. The first Triforce podcast episode titled Sell Your Kids was released on March 23rd, 2016.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so 2016, sorry. So in fact, he had just been elected.
Oh, actually, yeah, he'd just been elected because it was 2016. So he would have been confirmed as president in January.

Speaker 4 Hey, listen, here are some details about the first episode. Title, Sell Your Kids.
Date, Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016. Content.

Speaker 4 The host discussed what to name the podcast and the best ways to raise children.

Speaker 26 we started off with a band.

Speaker 1 I mean, nine years ago, I had a seven-year-old and a four-year-old, and now I have a 16-year-old and a 13-year-old.

Speaker 19 In 2016,

Speaker 1 so you should take whatever advice I had in that episode. Apparently, you got them thus far.

Speaker 23 Yeah,

Speaker 4 I had a five-year-old and a one-year-old, and now I got a 13-year-old, a nine-year-old, and a four-year-old.

Speaker 26 So, wow.

Speaker 11 No, I know.

Speaker 4 All right, moving on.

Speaker 1 American pilot. This is from an American pilot, believe it or not.

Speaker 17 Hello, I'm in the US.

Speaker 19 I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 I know, and I'm a pilot, and I've been listening to you guys since the beginning. Thanks for keeping me entertained on long flights and layovers.

Speaker 1 In the most recent episode, you guys discussed why planes don't go faster from A to B than they usually do, since they apparently are able to. Remember that?

Speaker 1 We were like, they're like, well, make up the time and blah, blah, blah. The answer comes down 99.9% to fuel.
Planes have a sweet spot in the power setting and altitude.

Speaker 1 and speed to get the maximum fuel efficiency possible. Usually they can push it to get up an extra bit of speed at the cost of a much higher fuel burn.

Speaker 1 Pyrrhion had mentioned ATC routing as being a big cause when in certain cases, can be true, but overall, at least in America, ATC, that's air traffic control for you groundlings, does not give a single shit if you are late.

Speaker 1 You can, as a pilot, request more direct routing, and about 50% of the time they'll grant it, but they very rarely volunteer it upon you unprompted.

Speaker 1 As for the corridors into airports, at least in America, you have procedures called standard terminal arrival routes, or STARS.

Speaker 1 These to send you down out of the high-altitude cruise down to an an altitude to intercept an approach system either gps or ground-based ils or visual these can never be skipped to save time you can however skip ahead in the sequence if you're low on fuel or in an emergency but being late is not a valid reason also sips asked if they carry extra fuel yes usually enough to get to the airport to the furthest field alternate airport and then an extra 45 minutes of cruising fuel i'm sorry for the email i tried to keep it simple but no no that's interesting thanks we did right

Speaker 25 we did

Speaker 13 a picture of a cockpit uh that he's he's sent here would you like like to see it i can yes please all right i'll pop it in the discord that is an interesting formula so the fuel they carry is enough to get to the destination plus the nearest alternate airport plus 45 minutes that's if i've read his email correctly good to know i think that makes a lot of sense yeah

Speaker 4 you know like you ever had uh oh that is very

Speaker 19 that's a nice cockpit that's a nice huge cockpit nice it looks like very comfortable chairs too

Speaker 4 man i would be shitting myself if i had to fly a plane i knew there was like 200 people on it or something yeah you can't see them yeah but even though I would know, I would have like some awareness that I was in, I was responsible, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 Like it would, it would crush.

Speaker 1 I bet that goes out of your mind very quickly. First time, I bet you shit yourself.

Speaker 4 But after that, you just the thing is, a lot of it is because they do so much training, I think a lot of it must just be like, you know,

Speaker 4 I want to say muscle memory. I don't know if it is actually muscle memory, but you know what I mean? Like they're very familiar with what they're what they're doing.

Speaker 4 So maybe they don't think about it that much. I still think you probably have to concentrate a lot, though.

Speaker 4 You You know, you got to, you got to have your wits about you, especially if something, God forbid, goes wrong when you're up there. Jesus.

Speaker 21 Look at those seats.

Speaker 13 So those seats are really plush.

Speaker 21 I know.

Speaker 13 They've got, let me just describe it. They look so cushiony and plushy, but they're shaped like a U-shape, almost like a toilet seat.
They've got a big gap in the middle where the, I guess you're...

Speaker 13 Is that where the eject fucking lever is or some shit behind between the leaders?

Speaker 14 That's exactly what it's called as well.

Speaker 4 There's a label above it that says the eject fucking lever.

Speaker 1 Wait, so do you mean the white thing in the middle?

Speaker 13 Uh, no, I meant between between your legs. What's between your legs? Why is there like a view?

Speaker 4 That's like the that's like the manual flight.

Speaker 1 It looks like a microphone or something.

Speaker 17 It looks like

Speaker 4 if they need to, if they need to manually,

Speaker 4 you know, pull up, control or pull up or something like that, you have to like shimmy backwards.

Speaker 19 So like get it between yourself.

Speaker 4 There's like a little button on the bottom of the seat that slides it backwards. Like, you know what?

Speaker 1 Wait, do you mean the thing that has 2000 LXS and a circle in the middle? Is that what you're talking about?

Speaker 13 I'm talking about this.

Speaker 1 You look at the seat and why it has such a huge

Speaker 31 cut out of it.

Speaker 1 For their big cocks to dangle down.

Speaker 38 Yeah, so they're giant.

Speaker 33 It's not called the cockpit for the roots.

Speaker 13 Get on with it.

Speaker 38 Next.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 10 This is an email

Speaker 21 from Will.

Speaker 1 On the most recent episode of the Triforce mailbag, you mentioned a story about a Hooter's waitress selling her underwear.

Speaker 1 Attached or screenshots of a time a random gentleman on Facebook messaged me after I posted in a student page.

Speaker 1 Also for reference, so he's given me photos of the conversation that he had with this guy. And what I'm going to do is

Speaker 1 I'm going to read the left-hand side of the conversation.

Speaker 1 And Sips, I'd like you to read the right-hand side of the conversation.

Speaker 9 Do you want to do it?

Speaker 1 It's like a reenactment. Yeah.
Yeah. So let me paste these in sequence.

Speaker 13 Of an online chat. Okay.

Speaker 20 I've got the first one.

Speaker 10 Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 Let me get these in order before we...

Speaker 13 Oh, right. It's multiple pages.
Yeah, this is...

Speaker 1 It's not that long.

Speaker 4 So you're reading the left and I'm reading the right.

Speaker 30 So that's like bluish purple.

Speaker 1 You're going to read the blue side and I'll read the gray side.

Speaker 20 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let me see. Hold on.
You can cut all this, by the way. Sorry.

Speaker 4 No, you should leave it in.

Speaker 20 And also,

Speaker 4 let's make sure that there's some context so that we can't have this conversation clipped out of context and people actually think that we have this conversation or maybe use a different voice or something because, you know, we live in the- I don't think that's a concern.

Speaker 21 And if it is.

Speaker 10 Well,

Speaker 4 I'm just saying, you never know, especially if it's like a little bit on the, I mean, I guess we probably have talked about.

Speaker 13 So this is a real listener.

Speaker 1 So yes, just for context of what this is, Will was messaged on Facebook Messenger, and this is the email, the series of conversations that he had. Okay.

Speaker 11 Well, this is a good thing.

Speaker 26 And Will is just a a very ordinary-looking lad.

Speaker 21 Okay. All right.

Speaker 17 Will. All right.

Speaker 9 Just a normal guy.

Speaker 19 I'll stop.

Speaker 9 Do the first one.

Speaker 21 Hello.

Speaker 1 You good, bro? Sorry for the random message.

Speaker 21 Yeah, good.

Speaker 4 Can I help you with anything?

Speaker 21 Maybe.

Speaker 1 Kind of wanted to ask you something a bit weird,

Speaker 1 crying smiley face.

Speaker 35 Go on.

Speaker 1 Are you in the Cardiff area?

Speaker 17 Yeah, why?

Speaker 1 Okay, I'll ask you, but no judgment, yeah, because it's proper weird, crying laughing face, lol. And don't be a dick about it.

Speaker 1 And like, if it's just no, say in it, and we can move on with our days, lol.

Speaker 4 Just ask what you want to ask.

Speaker 1 Would you meet me and sell me your socks?

Speaker 35 Why?

Speaker 1 That's a very broad question, laughing crying face.

Speaker 4 I'm very unlikely to sell you my socks for whatever reason.

Speaker 19 Is this a society thing?

Speaker 21 Uh, no.

Speaker 27 More of a personal thing.

Speaker 21 Explain?

Speaker 1 Don't worry about it, bro. Ha ha ha.
If you're not down, then you're not down. No point in me embarrassing myself further, crying laughing face.

Speaker 4 Why did you choose to message me? But also, I never said no, just curious.

Speaker 1 Because I thought you looked hot, crying laughing face.

Speaker 4 How much would you pay for my socks?

Speaker 1 It's more of a small but fairly regular thing, cash-wise. Usually do about 30, 40 pound a time.

Speaker 4 Why don't you just buy socks?

Speaker 1 Well, it's not really about the socks, is it, crying laughing face?

Speaker 4 I'm probably going to have to say no, mate. Hopefully you find someone else, though.

Speaker 18 Oh. And that's it.

Speaker 1 Now, that is, in all honesty. First of all, the lad approaching him is trying to be...

Speaker 1 He's trying to save face and make out like it's no big deal, but he clearly has a thing for for using fellas' socks for whatever.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's, you know, he's probably a gay lad who's into feet or smelly feet or socks or whatever. No problemo.

Speaker 1 But just messaging someone out of nowhere, having this awkward conversation, oh my God, you must, you must be so into socks if you're willing to expose yourself in this way.

Speaker 1 That is, I mean, honestly, that's embarrassing.

Speaker 14 Okay, so very funny.

Speaker 4 Is it basically a pair of socks per day?

Speaker 21 Are we talking about that?

Speaker 20 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 13 I don't know if you need a new one every day.

Speaker 14 I mean, an old one. Okay.

Speaker 13 You want like an old. You could probably get away with it for a week or two before the stink

Speaker 13 gets out.

Speaker 29 I don't know.

Speaker 4 Okay, so if he's paying 30 to 40 quid every time for a pair of socks, right? That's insane. Even if that was like, say, three times a week, 120 quid, you can buy close mate women's.

Speaker 4 Oh, sorry, these are women's. Okay, soxy, 12 pairs men's cotton-rich sports socks.

Speaker 9 No, but no, but mate, it's not 12 pairs.

Speaker 4 It's not about the £9.49.

Speaker 1 The profits are insane.

Speaker 13 It's not really about socks. Is it?

Speaker 1 No, he literally says it's not really about the socks. Because that's one of the questions that's asked is why don't you just buy socks?

Speaker 9 It's like it's not about the socks.

Speaker 4 Man, if somebody's saying to me, I will buy your socks for 40 quid, I am saying yes, like immediately.

Speaker 1 That's too good of a deal to pass on.

Speaker 1 I'm not kidding. I think there are quite a few people out there who would pay good money for Sips's socks.

Speaker 17 The only thing

Speaker 17 online stores.

Speaker 4 Okay, so in all of this, the thing that puts me off the most is not so much that somebody wants to be weird with my socks.

Speaker 4 The only thing that would put me off this is the effort I'd have to go to to package them up and then post them.

Speaker 28 That's what's putting you off.

Speaker 24 That's what would

Speaker 18 put me off.

Speaker 4 Like, if I could just put them in a container at the end of my driveway, I'm honestly.

Speaker 19 I'll do it. Let's go.

Speaker 1 I mean, did you put my socks out?

Speaker 36 Did the sock men come today?

Speaker 9 That's a big money maker.

Speaker 19 That's all of our income right now.

Speaker 9 Make sure you don't forget.

Speaker 13 This is like a side business that goes around picking up dirty socks from everyone's houses and selling them online. But here's the thing, right? They want that.
It's the person.

Speaker 29 It's clearly him.

Speaker 26 It's like you're attractive.

Speaker 33 I fancy you.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Therefore, I don't.

Speaker 13 But my weird thing is just, I don't want to have sex with you or anything. I just want to.
look at your Facebook pictures while I smell your stinky socks. Right.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 But I mean, it's also this is a thing with trainers like shoes, sneakers, right? Is that you can you see a lot of those for sale on eBay, and there's always like a biography to go with the sock.

Speaker 26 Exactly.

Speaker 1 It's always like this sock belonged to a young, sort of chavvy lad who would like to go out with his mates and he'd dress like this. And that's like the fetish is the story behind.

Speaker 9 Pee-wee sock. That's really weird.

Speaker 4 Okay, think of somebody, somebody, a celebrity that you find really attractive, okay?

Speaker 4 Like you pee wee herman pee wee herman all right imagine you the girl who pee wee herman fancied in the pee wee herman movies when he looks at her tip in big top peewee when they had that like a diamond when they had that really long kissing scene in big top peewee i'm sure she played ramona in hot shots as well if you remember she was kind of like she was kind of in everything for a little while in the late 80s pee we herman hot woman miss yvon no no miss yvon miss yvon is is in the show

Speaker 1 yeah she was like the 1950s girl next door is Is this in Pee-Wee Herman's Big Top?

Speaker 4 Yeah, Big Top Pee-Wee. She's the love interest in Big Top Pee Wee.

Speaker 9 But she's been in loads of stuff.

Speaker 21 Valeria Galino.

Speaker 4 She's been in loads of stuff.

Speaker 4 She was

Speaker 4 the woman in Hot Shots as well.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. She was so beautiful.
She was just the most beautiful exotic creature.

Speaker 4 So you think she's beautiful and you have a big crush on her and you think

Speaker 4 the next evolution in

Speaker 4 your fascination of this woman is you want to have a pair of her underpants delivered to you so that you can smell them and probably jerk off to them a lot.

Speaker 4 Okay, what if you, you, it arrives in the mail, the parcel arrives, and it's like in like floppy packaging, and you're like, Yeah, I know exactly what this is, and you're getting all revved up.

Speaker 4 You're like, Man, I can't wait. I'm going to open this package up.
You open up the package, and there they are: a pair of underpants in like a Ziploc bag, and you're like, oh, great.

Speaker 4 I can't wait to pop open this Ziploc bag and get started. And you pop open the Ziploc bag, and you're just like, Wow, let's go.

Speaker 40 Oh, my

Speaker 27 God, like it blows your head off.

Speaker 4 It fucking stinks. Like, it just stinks like fucking eggs or like some fucking rotten fish or sh some shit.
Like, you would change your mind immediately, right? Like, there's no way.

Speaker 4 Like, it would be the worst.

Speaker 33 Like, uh, yeah, do you know what?

Speaker 13 That's like you're browsing for like, you know, some big tits or something, and then you accidentally see some really, really big tits and you're like, oh, I don't like this anymore.

Speaker 12 What are you talking about?

Speaker 19 Flex doesn't stop at that point.

Speaker 18 Flax likes them comically large.

Speaker 9 He likes them real big.

Speaker 13 I'm like, oh, those are looking like she's injured herself there. That's not, you know, that must be a real burden to carry those around.
You know, and suddenly it's like, you're out of it, you know?

Speaker 13 And so, yes, it's I imagine it's very similar.

Speaker 4 You could so easily have a really bad experience there. Like, I don't think it's worth the risk, honestly.

Speaker 1 Hey, you can have bad experiences just going to the shop. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 If somebody had a pair of my socks, like, they fucking stink. They must stink.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you wouldn't want my socks. God trust.

Speaker 13 God bless that lad for taking his shot.

Speaker 23 Yeah, man-eating animals.

Speaker 1 Takes his shot right into the sock. I tell you that much.

Speaker 9 Man-eating animals.

Speaker 9 A while ago.

Speaker 22 There's already some in there if you get mine.

Speaker 18 Oh, no.

Speaker 11 Stop it.

Speaker 36 Oh, that's an extra tenner.

Speaker 12 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 A while ago, you discussed the deadliest animals on the Triforce, e.g. mosquitoes killing a million people annually.

Speaker 1 Recently, I was reading about a related topic you might all find interesting, which is the deadliest individual animals. So these are named animals, okay?

Speaker 34 not just

Speaker 1 species but these are these are like this is an animal one animal adolf hitler like adolf but but in animal form animal hitler all right right animal hitler the champowat tiger a tigress that killed about 200 people in nepal before being driven into india where it brought his death toll to 436.

Speaker 4 what are you talking about it was tracked a man no they just tried to drive it off this is just a tiger into another country yeah they drove it into india and then it carried on its spree I'm surprised that didn't cause an international incident.

Speaker 1 Well, it was tracked by a hunter following the trail of blood from its lost victim and killed in 1907, a champ Womack tiger.

Speaker 1 The Tosavo Man-eaters, a famous pair of lions from Uganda that killed dozens of people and inspired the movie The Ghost and the Darkness.

Speaker 30 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 God, that would be

Speaker 4 an awful way to go out.

Speaker 1 Gustave the Crocodile that killed over 100 people in Burundi and is possibly still around. Don't say he's not.
You don't, if you misbehave, Gustave the Crocodile will come and pay you a visit.

Speaker 1 These, okay.

Speaker 34 I'm just

Speaker 1 before you spoil this with logic and facts, just let me read about the beast of Guvoidien, a beast, possibly a large wolf, in 17th century France that killed over a hundred people.

Speaker 1 The king of France and local nobility were involved in raising expeditions to track down and kill the beast. It's not known exactly what the beast was, and it might have been multiple large wolves.

Speaker 1 Despite royal expenditure, they were eventually killed by Marie Jean Valet, the maid of Gevoudouin, who appeared the who speared the beast when it attacked her, and Jean-Castell, a local hunter.

Speaker 4 I feel like a lot of this is maybe

Speaker 4 has maybe gone in towards the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast, you know, like it, it all seems like very beautiful,

Speaker 4 it's very, very French, and like, you know, there's a lot of like hunters and like big macho men involved and stuff.

Speaker 4 Like, it's gotta be, there's gotta be some inspiration for Beauty and the Beast Beast in there somewhere. Maybe.
Wow.

Speaker 1 Don't ruin it, Lewis. All of those things are true and happened.

Speaker 33 Okay. All right.
Yeah.

Speaker 13 This is the world we live in now. Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 33 All right.

Speaker 1 This is from Joseph Morris. He's a, he, this is a metal mailbag.
All right. This is a metal mailbag song.

Speaker 21 I've popped it in.

Speaker 13 It's pretty heavy to carry it around.

Speaker 24 Hey.

Speaker 17 All right.

Speaker 1 We're going to play this. Ready?

Speaker 21 In three, two, one.

Speaker 6 Play. It's the bell bag.

Speaker 6 All right, nice. Oh, we should have opened this.

Speaker 6 the driver's body.

Speaker 4 It almost sounds a bit grungy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's like it's like a like...

Speaker 4 Oh, like the kick pedal kind of makes it sound less so, but

Speaker 4 the first bit sounds like a Melvin song.

Speaker 4 Not the voice so much, though.

Speaker 9 Okay, right.

Speaker 9 Hey, guys.

Speaker 19 Thank you, Joseph.

Speaker 26 Thanks for listening to my song, guys.

Speaker 9 He's Canadian, too.

Speaker 19 He's Canadian too.

Speaker 38 Oh, he's Canadian, too.

Speaker 9 Do you know him?

Speaker 17 Yeah. Did you know him?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I babysat him.

Speaker 4 My wife's running joke is: anytime any Canadian person is on TV, she asks, Did I babysit them? And I always say, Yeah, I did. Yeah, like it's just a long-running joke.

Speaker 4 So, every Canadian person, I have babysat them at one point.

Speaker 20 I know them all.

Speaker 4 Um, yeah, it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 Bear, uh, I've got another tune, uh, and uh, this is uh, I made a quick jingle. Uh, this is a terrible song, apparently, terrible attempt at singing.

Speaker 1 Uh, I listen to your podcast while I'm cleaning at work, and uh, they make the time go by easier. My co-workers often ask why I'm laughing to myself.

Speaker 29 Uh, well, oh, that's good.

Speaker 4 I'm glad that somebody's laughing. Yeah, it's certainly not me, no, we don't.
No, it is, I laugh a lot, actually.

Speaker 6 This is from Live Laughing.

Speaker 1 This is an intro from Tom, aka Toverhang.

Speaker 13 Nine seconds.

Speaker 33 Okay, we're not going to be able to talk over this one.

Speaker 26 Right. Are you ready?

Speaker 17 Three, two, one, play.

Speaker 6 It's the try-for smell back, the trifor smell back, the trifor smell back,

Speaker 6 smell back.

Speaker 4 Very good, very simple.

Speaker 19 In a word,

Speaker 19 dog shit.

Speaker 13 I said it was nine seconds. Actually, it's like three because it's just looped.

Speaker 4 Jeremy.

Speaker 4 I would struggle to. Do you know how hard it is to to strum and sing at the same time? Like, it's difficult.
I would struggle. I don't know.

Speaker 1 A lot of people can do it.

Speaker 13 I actually, that's growing on me.

Speaker 37 Play it again. No,

Speaker 18 no, don't play it.

Speaker 32 You can play it as much as

Speaker 9 right there.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that was really good.

Speaker 33 Try force mailbag.

Speaker 9 Try force mailbag.

Speaker 33 Try force mailbag.

Speaker 1 Dick out. Mailbag.

Speaker 21 This is

Speaker 32 shut up. This is 30 seconds long.

Speaker 1 Brand new jingle.

Speaker 10 Are you ready? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Three, two, one, play.

Speaker 40 Quit your bitching.

Speaker 4 It's the mailbag.

Speaker 4 Yay. This is this is more my style.

Speaker 41 Free dads.

Speaker 4 Here we go.

Speaker 41 Here we go. Here we go.
It's the mailbag. And yeah, we're stacking frags.
Gotta grab your clock and lower the mag. Keep your story short so they don't drag.
Lewis walking around in a door rag.

Speaker 26 Hey.

Speaker 13 That is the worst thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 18 I'm afraid you

Speaker 13 sound like you play League of Legends, my friend.

Speaker 30 You haven't got the voice for. You can't do that.

Speaker 1 My man's got no flow.

Speaker 9 It was funny at all.

Speaker 25 I don't know what that is.

Speaker 24 It was dreadful. No.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's meant to be very in the email here.

Speaker 25 That's hard to do as well.

Speaker 1 This is very serious. This is serious.

Speaker 35 You need to.

Speaker 32 Do you know what?

Speaker 20 I wouldn't be able to do that.

Speaker 13 I've changed my mind. I love it.
I think it's great.

Speaker 20 Do you know how hard it is to rap over a sick beat like that?

Speaker 13 It's when you're playing it as well.

Speaker 13 It's the do-rag, like the whole 90s.

Speaker 20 Spring the initial foo-rag.

Speaker 38 Free dads.

Speaker 13 Free dads sounded like freedom. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 33 I like that. I like that bit at the start.

Speaker 13 It was almost like

Speaker 13 there was something beyond the music, maybe, like a message, you know, of hope in this tropical Spoke directly to my soul.

Speaker 1 This is from Harry called the Old Street Gashman scam. Right.
Right. Which sounds like an album.

Speaker 13 Is this a song?

Speaker 1 No, this is not. This is a real email.

Speaker 4 It sounds like a Bob Dylan record.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it does. The Old Street Gashman scam.

Speaker 9 This guy,

Speaker 1 Old Street is a place in London, and the Gashman, you'll find out, has a scam related to being covered in cuts. When I first moved to London, London, as a country bunker,

Speaker 1 a man approached me who claimed to have just been knocked off his bike. He was bruised and bleeding profusely all over his arms and legs.

Speaker 1 He said he needed cash for a cab to the hospital as an ambulance wouldn't take his bike and it was his only worldly possession. I gave him a tenor and asked a few questions.

Speaker 1 He had semi-plausible answers, but it was, I was suspicious, even as a stupid village yokel.

Speaker 1 I started to hail down a cab, but he said his mum had already booked him one, and this is when the penny dropped that it was definitely a scam.

Speaker 1 I googled and found out a Reddit thread about him and apparently the blood is real, it's not makeup, And he surgically maintains cuts and bruises and opens up a gash when he's short on cash.

Speaker 1 Crazy guy.

Speaker 14 That is insane.

Speaker 1 It's really nutty. Yeah.
The sad part is red on stop for anyone now, even when most are probably just asking for directions. Look, Harry, you move to London, you get hit by a scammer.

Speaker 26 Here's the thing.

Speaker 27 Here's the thing.

Speaker 13 You're just, you're paying for a bit of street theater there, right?

Speaker 31 And that's probably worth it.

Speaker 13 Like, meeting, like, honestly, a man who, this is some sort of circus shit from the 19, the Victorian times.

Speaker 1 What was that circus that was around in the 80s and 90s? It was really extreme. And there were people who would cut themselves and like do all kinds of really extreme shit.

Speaker 20 I can't remember what it was called.

Speaker 4 Ringling Brothers.

Speaker 29 It wasn't Barnum and Bailey.

Speaker 13 Yeah, I can't remember. But

Speaker 13 this is a thing.

Speaker 13 There definitely was more of a freak show type thing where people would do horrible things to each other. But this even seems like more extreme than that, doesn't it? I don't know.

Speaker 13 It's like you could, what I'm saying is, you know, you're lucky that you saw that, right?

Speaker 30 Because, you know,

Speaker 13 to put on a show like that, it would normally be very illegal or frowned upon.

Speaker 1 You'd like to see a bit of human blood flowing for entertainment, don't you?

Speaker 21 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 13 I mean, it's good that this stuff is in the shadows, you know, like the sock industry and all this. I'm wondering, like, oh, God, it's, oh, it's just, it's best not to think about it.
Honestly,

Speaker 1 let's think about some of your bullshit from a previous episode, Courtney Charlie.

Speaker 17 Just call Lewis out on episode number 302.

Speaker 1 He said his dad had a long commute into London, which isn't the case. I live in Brentwood, which is the next town along from Ongar, and the train takes 40 minutes into Liverpool Street Station.

Speaker 1 Ongar would have had a railway station back then when his dad would have commuted to London. Alternatively, he could have driven to Epping Station.
Much love, Charlie.

Speaker 4 Damn, Charlie.

Speaker 26 Oh, there you go, Lewis.

Speaker 28 What do you know

Speaker 9 about that?

Speaker 13 I'm looking it up, and the drive is according to,

Speaker 20 well,

Speaker 13 he worked in two places. He worked in Enfield, which is East London, yeah.
Apparently, that takes

Speaker 1 wait, is he driving or taking the train?

Speaker 24 I think he drove. Oh, well,

Speaker 13 so actually it's look it looks like a 45-minute drive, which isn't as bad as I thought it was. Maybe he was just staying away.

Speaker 11 Can I be real with you?

Speaker 1 I think he just came to avoid you.

Speaker 16 I think he was just

Speaker 14 how late did he used to get home from work?

Speaker 18 Oh, midnight.

Speaker 17 He'd roll in at midnight.

Speaker 9 Oh, what a community.

Speaker 14 He'd be stinking a whiskey lipstick on his coffee.

Speaker 25 Oh, another night there on the tube said, oh, didn't you drive?

Speaker 27 Yeah, well, that's the problem.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I tried to drive onto the tube. but let me tell you, not easily.

Speaker 27 They didn't like it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Question about how the Oxcast grew and took on new members.

Speaker 1 Longer version. I'll try to keep it short.
How have we recruited new members over the years?

Speaker 4 That's when was the last time we recruited a new member?

Speaker 33 Asking who?

Speaker 1 Asking, let's say, Lulu. You started off, how did you acquire new people into the Oxcast? Because

Speaker 1 we've had a bunch of new people in the last couple years.

Speaker 13 It's the same approach I've had.

Speaker 32 In the last 10 years, but

Speaker 4 there hasn't been any new people recently, I would say.

Speaker 13 Exactly.

Speaker 13 I don't know if that's true how recently is recently well like in the last five years i feel like are you serious yeah okay i mean i could be wrong but i think you all believe you are completely wrong i think the people who've joined most recently are probably sophie uh miss cupcakes and when how long ago did she i didn't even realize she joined i just did a thing with her the other night she's not well you know the thing is a brand thing the thing is she's not a live brand thing

Speaker 13 there's no official there's no official yogs cut thing is right yogs cast back in the day, the Yogscast was obviously just me and Simon and

Speaker 13 our friends. And it was very easy for them to...

Speaker 32 But Duncan's been around since the start.

Speaker 4 He used to do like

Speaker 4 a lot of people.

Speaker 15 He used to do like a lot of behind the scenes stuff for you guys.

Speaker 13 Well, exactly. And the idea was that we'd have this sort of more group family approach to it where we could all sort of capitalize.

Speaker 13 Because the thing is, if you, if we, we had a huge audience back in the day because of the way YouTube worked. And it was largely undeserved.

Speaker 13 And a lot of the people were watching us and didn't like it or didn't understand it or we weren't for them or they wanted to watch something else or someone else and that's why having a broader selection of people um like hat films is quite different in their comedy and and their vibe and so is duncan and so is so is sips you know having a broader peak group of people allowed our audience to be retained better right rather than just the you know lewis and simon fans there was there was it it it was a it was a it was beneficial to everyone right whereas i think the yotscast these days is not necessarily attracting new audience and hasn't been a draw for a long time.

Speaker 13 And in a sense, I'm more concerned that it's okay. Think of it like a K-pop band, right?

Speaker 13 Like, you know, these K-pop bands, the way they work is they are very manufactured, but also if someone is to join or leave, it's a big celebration and a big, it's a big, the way they actually do it is they are very careful when people leave because it can be very dramatic.

Speaker 13 It's like, it's like if someone says, I'm leaving the Yolkscast, that sounds so dramatic. It does, does, yeah.
It's like, oh, why did you fall out?

Speaker 13 Like, they can get millions of views from that type of video. Do you see what I mean? Like, almost as if, and it's, it feels very negative, right?

Speaker 13 And so if you have someone saying, oh, I'm leaving a K-pop band, everyone thinks, oh, what did they do? You know, and it's very dramatic.

Speaker 13 So the way these K-pop bands do it is they say, you've graduated. Congratulations.

Speaker 13 You're, you're going on to better things now. We've, we've trained you.
We've had, we've had, you know, you're, you're prepared for your solo career.

Speaker 13 You know, it's like, and we, we're, we've done that for you kind of thing. It's very strange and different.

Speaker 13 And so I've really shied away in the last 10 years from a inviting people to the Yogscast or making a big fuss about people joining the Yogscast or not, partly because we have so many people who are closely associated with us, who do loads of things with us and are in everything and a lot of things we do and are basically like Yolkscast members in all but name or officialdom.

Speaker 13 So

Speaker 1 would you say that I'm in the Yogscast?

Speaker 13 I think that, I think, I think, yes.

Speaker 26 Well, you're like in the

Speaker 4 wider

Speaker 4 friendship group. I think everybody that is

Speaker 4 pretty much, I feel like

Speaker 4 anyone that does stuff with us that we record occasionally with or, you know, stream with occasionally could be considered like, you know, unofficial members.

Speaker 13 There's a lot of people that we are friends with on the fringe, like Potato McWhiske or Spiff or Dan, RT Game,

Speaker 37 or Simon Clark.

Speaker 13 You know, all these people, they contribute to Jingle Jam. They're really close friends of ours.

Speaker 13 We love to see them and they love hanging out with us. You know, I'm personally friends with these people.
Then none of them, I think, would necessarily even want to say they were in the Yogscast.

Speaker 13 Do you see what I mean?

Speaker 20 Yeah, they're officially not.

Speaker 4 They're part of other networks or whatever.

Speaker 13 Exactly. So someone more recent like Sophie, you know, it's hard for me to say you're in the Yogscast, but I think what that means nowadays is that you are

Speaker 4 cooperating with us us on on projects and working more closely with us i think i don't think it means what it used to either i mean like when when during like when when we were all doing tech it and stuff like that which i would say was probably like our our our peak um well certainly the main channels was like uh peak but like all of us really like that was

Speaker 4 those were like the like the bigger the biggest times for us or whatever it probably meant something different right if you were joining the augscast you know like oh i'm officially part of the augscast we because we were much bigger then, but like now, I don't know if it's like that big of a deal to be well.

Speaker 13 This is it. I think SIPS is a great example of this where Sips sort of isn't really part of the Yorkscast anymore.

Speaker 13 Um, I think you, in fact, Pyrrhion, are more closely associated with the Yorkscast than Sips is.

Speaker 26 Oh, am I kicked out?

Speaker 21 What the hell?

Speaker 17 Yeah, you're out, but it's funny, though.

Speaker 13 Like, it is like, it's, it's not that we

Speaker 13 it's changed, yeah.

Speaker 19 Right.

Speaker 13 We don't really, the Yorkscast is really a service company. And if you are part of the Yorkscast, we're usually doing something for you.

Speaker 13 And

Speaker 13 in Sips' case or your case,

Speaker 13 we're not really taking, you're not paying dues. You're not joining an association.

Speaker 13 We don't make anything.

Speaker 4 No, we don't use any of your physical space. We don't use any

Speaker 14 resources, really.

Speaker 13 So there's no real reason for us to get a kickback, which means you're not technically in the Yorkshire.

Speaker 13 So it's like, I don't know, it feels like, but you are because you clearly have been frozen.

Speaker 13 We're like honorary members, I guess, now it's a strange blanket term and even i'm not sure as the person who runs the thing what what the rules are yeah um but i think it doesn't matter uh

Speaker 28 so i think it's all great i think it's always just been a like a a

Speaker 4 a kind of like uh almost like like a friendship community thing right through games like we've always a lot of us have all played games together and not necessarily all of us together at the same time, but there's little groups of people that overlap with each other.

Speaker 4 And, you know, something comes along like, you know, when it wasn't WoW, it was like tons of us played like Marvel Rivals more recently or something.

Speaker 4 You know, there's always something that comes around that gets a bunch of people together again.

Speaker 13 But you, I, I tell you, what do you have these people on hand ready to go?

Speaker 4 You know, like, I could, I can get in touch with Zylus and be like, oh shit, have you seen this? Yeah, yeah, let's play and we'll play. And then like 20 other people play with us for like two weeks.

Speaker 1 So the Yogscast is like a loose association of avant-garde artists

Speaker 1 from around the world who come together to create art using feces,

Speaker 4 urine, and other bodily

Speaker 13 shocks. No, so I think it is a complementary group of social people who want to be friends with each other and want to interact.
And I think that you have to be

Speaker 13 in order to be in the involved, you really have to want to do it. And so someone like Sophie coming in very proactively saying, I love your content.
Can I be in it? I think I could enhance it.

Speaker 13 Here's the ways that I can, here's the things I can do.

Speaker 13 and and just being asking being interested turning up like wanting to do stuff um is is powerful and we do meet new people that we get on with like no roles bard lately you know they're really great people and they've been collaborating with us on mystery quest and and um some of the you know potentially games night you know other overlapping like friends and groups yeah and it's it's not that we're not meeting new people it's just that we're not it's not it's i don't think it's the time to have a clan no uh necessarily it's all it's very i've always found it very organic, though.

Speaker 4 You know, like people that join,

Speaker 4 you're not forced to do anything with anybody. You know, like I've never been

Speaker 4 to sort of say, no, do this with this person or whatever. You know, like

Speaker 4 we,

Speaker 4 people join and you just, you find each other and, you know, you click or whatever. Like, I didn't know Hat Films before they joined.
I had no idea who they were.

Speaker 4 Even after they joined for months, I didn't know who they were. I didn't watch any of their stuff or whatever.

Speaker 4 And then we just met up one day and we just clicked and did a lot of stuff together yeah exactly and you haven't probably seen them in real life for about five years been a while yeah

Speaker 26 we have that report every

Speaker 13 every so often we can just jump in and pick up where we left off and it's like it's a funny friends you know it's good talking about the yog skills more generally i think i always say this like the reason the yog sky is still going is because of jingle jam and like it's a big driver of why i still care about it and and turn up every day and put the effort because it is it is a big annual get-together which is is useful isn't isn't it but but also supporting this and helping this family of smaller creators you know who are struggling to make a living in an increasingly competitive and changing you know industry so it's it's tough for the some of some of our creators and and i like you know if we can we can support them um great we will and i think that that is something we want to do and and i don't know it's it's it's it's about it's about doing good it's about mutual respect and love.

Speaker 13 And sometimes writing words in feces. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Sending.

Speaker 1 Did I tell you guys one time I was on a school, I was on a trip with the Cub Scouts.

Speaker 1 We went up to London for something, probably the Imperial War Museum, because again, like I've said, it's a paramilitary training organization. We all know that.

Speaker 26 Yes. And this is the one that's going to be a Cub Scouts, especially the one for 18 years.

Speaker 32 So you've got to start on young.

Speaker 1 You've got to start on young. So as we're coming up, we stop at a service station.
We all go into the toilet and someone has written shit in shit on the wall.

Speaker 1 And the whole room stank, I'd never seen anything like it.

Speaker 1 And it was genuinely quite scary to know that there were people, adults out there in the world who would write the word shit in their own shit on a wall in a public bathroom. It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 Let's move it on. This is from Jared.

Speaker 1 I was listening to a recent Trifoise, and I think it's great.

Speaker 13 I'm not going to dwell on that moment.

Speaker 1 I think it's great that you're teaching your kids to be street smart and independent in big cities.

Speaker 13 Like you learned. See, that was you learned to be street smart and independent from that moment.

Speaker 13 That opened up your eyes and took off the the the the blinkers of childhood and the innocence it all went away on that trip to the imperial war museum i know it really did you know

Speaker 1 i saw some negative comments that's when you lost your hair about the fact that i i let my my kids go into into town and stuff by themselves um i don't know what you think being a parent is but if you want to follow your kids around forever they will never be able to do anything on their own no ever and there was

Speaker 1 i i mean i assume you're not a parent if you're making that comment uh keep your fucking ignorance to yourself, please.

Speaker 33 How about that?

Speaker 13 This mailback goes both ways. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 22 This is the best way to get it.

Speaker 38 Dear person who wrote to the mailback.

Speaker 9 Fuck you. I don't know.
I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 Let me list the ways you can go fuck yourself.

Speaker 27 Number one.

Speaker 4 I think it's safe to assume that maybe they don't have kids, but on the other hand, there are a lot of insane parents out there with kids and you just think.

Speaker 19 There are.

Speaker 1 This lad is fine. Jared is fine.
All right. I'm just saying.
This other person I saw. Anyway, Jared.

Speaker 1 recommends a book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker, which sounds like a horror novel, but it's not.

Speaker 1 It's about interpreting your body's natural intuition, analyzing threats and managing stressful and high-risk situations.

Speaker 1 And do you remember I was talking about the fact that my daughter went to pick up a parcel? Do you remember? And it was down a shady alleyway.

Speaker 20 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 And every fiber of her being was saying, don't go down the alleyway.

Speaker 1 But because of social norms and the fear of embarrassing herself or the person telling her to go down the alleyway, she went down the alleyway, which she 100% should not have done.

Speaker 1 This, by the way, was on the way home from school, which is not a long walk. And she was with a mate and it was at like a regular shop.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 she ignored her instincts. And I told her very clearly: the next time this happens, listen to your instincts.
They know best. And they will, those hairs go up and you think, oh, something feels wrong.

Speaker 1 Trust that vibe.

Speaker 32 Absolutely. Trust yourself.

Speaker 13 Trust yourself 100%. I think in everything as well.

Speaker 25 If you're wrong, you're wrong.

Speaker 1 And I'll come back with you and we'll pick up the parcel together. It's not a problem.
But don't just think, oh, I don't want to embarrass anybody or I don't want to put him out of it.

Speaker 13 I think end up kicking yourself a lot more if you go against your instincts than if you trust them and are and it and it doesn't work out. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 13 Yeah, so yeah, definitely trust your instincts always.

Speaker 1 I have an optician's appointment soon, so can we do one more email? Yes, yes, I would love to hear your guys' opinions on this. This is just a simple one from Josh.

Speaker 1 Um, we often talk about how lucky we are to be in a position that we're in and the job that we do because obviously it's a lot of fun and everything.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but he wants to he wants to know if there is one downside or struggle that we face in relation to our job other than ripped dicks as he puts it so think of a downside to our job that you're like that's actually the worst part of it uh for me it's more it's more like a self-discipline thing but i just don't exercise as much as i should i should do a little bit at least and i don't because i know insanely it's so easy to become complacent in uh in this situation because if i was if i was unemployed I would just sit around and game all day.

Speaker 4 And now that I can make money sitting around gaming all day, I just sit around and game game all day.

Speaker 17 Uh, yeah,

Speaker 4 very rarely will I force myself to walk further than I absolutely need to.

Speaker 4 Like, I walk my kids to and from school, and I do enough around like the house and stuff like that, but it's not nearly enough, it's not exercise, yeah.

Speaker 1 I really should just be going for a long walk every day, or something, going to the gym, or something, something, but yeah, but here's the thing: I think a lot of people fail to realize that when you love your job and you work from home and it's fun, why would you just like when you go to the office, say, you fucking hate having to go to the office.

Speaker 1 You hate having to go to work. Going to the gym is a way to relieve tension and something to do on the way to or from work that is yours.

Speaker 1 That's like take time that you're saying, no, no, no, I'm not just going to spend my entire day commuting to, working at, and then commuting from somewhere.

Speaker 1 I've also got stuff I do while I'm there for me. And one of those things is I go to the gym and I go maybe with some colleagues or my friends.

Speaker 1 And that's a way to do something that is reclaiming some of that time for yourself.

Speaker 1 I I woke up this morning at 9.57, sat down, recorded this podcast, then I'm going to go to the opticians, then I have nothing to do for the rest of the day.

Speaker 1 And I still know that I'm not going to do the smart thing and do some exercise. I'm just, I'm just, it's just too easy to be lazy.
Yeah. We need, I need a harder life.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm cut off one of my one of my fingers. I'll cut that off.

Speaker 13 Self-discipline is a massive problem. We are exactly the same as many people in this era where we are constantly being entertained all the time.

Speaker 13 And my partner's noticed this and sort of complained about it a bit. In that, I can't, I have to be doing something all the time.
I go on a walk and I have to have a podcast on.

Speaker 13 I go, I'm sitting at home on the sofa, like, and I have to have the telly on, or I have to be on my phone, you know, and she's telling me about a day and suddenly, like, you know, I'm, I don't even realize I'm doing it, but I'm like on my phone.

Speaker 13 And she's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 13 I'm, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 Like, you know, it's like, I've always had this terrible thing with time as well. And I remember he even having this when I was, when I was younger.
I used to play a lot of,

Speaker 4 I used to play a lot of Diablo 2

Speaker 4 when it came out. And around the time it came out, I was just starting college and stuff.

Speaker 4 And I remember I'd wake up in the morning, I'd be like, okay, I have like six hours where I can play Diablo 2 before I have to go.

Speaker 4 But I'd be like, oh, is that enough time?

Speaker 4 This is in my mind. I'm thinking, oh, maybe that's not enough time.
I need some more, whatever. And like, and now as

Speaker 4 like a much older adult, I still have, have thoughts like that, but like, it'll be around stupid stuff. Like, I'll be like,

Speaker 4 you know, oh, I got to pay my social security. Oh, fuck, I'm going to need to take like a whole morning to, to really, like, do that.
And it takes, it takes like two minutes to do.

Speaker 4 Like, it's so stupid. But like in my mind, I'll be like, oh, fuck, it's going to take like forever.
It's going to take way more time or whatever. Cause it's something I don't want to do.

Speaker 4 But then if there's something I want to do, I'm like, I'm like really sort of like precious about the time. Even if I have like tons of time to do it, I'll be like, oh, fuck that.

Speaker 4 Maybe that's not enough time or whatever. I don't know.
Maybe there's like

Speaker 4 it's like a very slight like, I don't know, not not like OCD, but like, I don't know.

Speaker 19 There's got

Speaker 4 some sort of like weird

Speaker 4 anxiety around timings or something like that. 100% in my mind.
I don't know. It's weird.

Speaker 13 We all have a little bit of that, right? And I think as creators, I think there's obviously

Speaker 13 there is obviously, I think it's different for guys and girls. I think girls struggle with the idea more that there's some being famous is

Speaker 13 a peril in itself, right? With creepy people out there.

Speaker 13 And, you know, there's, you're more likely to run into, you know, it's a very low chance that you'll run into any trouble, but you're more likely than just

Speaker 13 an average person off the street. But then again, who knows? Like, you know, if you work in a cafe, maybe you have a stalker.
You know, it's, it's, it's

Speaker 25 different for women, too.

Speaker 13 Like, it's not immune to, yeah, but it's, it's very different for women.

Speaker 13 But I think also like just, there's so so many little

Speaker 13 things about this thing industry that that people know from doing it will will bother them. And it's and it's, I don't know, it's just, um, it's not as we can,

Speaker 13 it's hard to complain about, but yeah, I don't, I don't really have any

Speaker 4 like complaints. It's just, um, you, you, you're, you, you, you're in your, you're, you're in your moment, right? You have your pyramid of needs and stuff.

Speaker 4 So like, I'll, I'll complain about things that other people will say, oh my God, why is he complaining about that?

Speaker 4 But like, you know, my, my, my day-to-day, especially if I don't stop and really think about it.

Speaker 18 My socks didn't arrive.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 4 If I, how am I supposed to jerk off today? You know, if I, if I'm just like in a afternoon ruin.

Speaker 4 If I'm in a flow and I'm not thinking about anything other than what I need to do or my immediate sort of what I'm doing or whatever, then, you know, I probably will complain about really stupid things that other people think are stupid.

Speaker 4 People that, you know, are at different points in their lives or whatever, careers or whatever would complain about different things or whatever.

Speaker 6 Can we just have their own?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I have to go. Sorry,

Speaker 6 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 15 Sorry, go get your eyes tested. Go get your eyes tested.

Speaker 1 We will see you guys next time.

Speaker 13 Thanks so much.

Speaker 6 Thank you, everyone.

Speaker 13 We love you.
