Oh, hello. Welcome to the mailbag.
Oh,
hello. Hello there.
Oh, it's you. Goodness.
I wasn't ready. You caught him off guard.
He was not ready.
Yeah, it's another mailbag episode. Thank goodness.
Wow, you sound so fucking excited for it. I woke up 20 minutes ago.
I've got an email.
Don't worry. You can have a little nap.
Me and Sips will carry it for a bit. All right.
I can forward you the emails and you can read them. If he's allowed to have a sleep, and I should be too.
I can go back to bed. Did you hear they did their word of the year or whatever?
Yeah, I know what it is.
What is it? Cunch. It's no, even, even, even better.
It's 6'7.

actually henry no no no relationship yet.
Yeah, God.
Let's do the mailbag. All right.
This one, special story about Charlie. All right.
This is how long we've been doing this podcast. It feels like it transcends time.
Charlie said, listen, I listened to the podcast while sleeping, which is why he's emailed us at 4 a.m. in the morning.
Recently, I've caught up and looped back around. In episode seven, that's Zen for you, baby.
May 2016. Yeah.
Lewis made a comment that he greatly enjoys the once-a-week episodic nature of Game of Thrones versus the instant gratification of Netflix binging.
I know that in more recent episodes, he seemed to now have great disdain for weekly releases and prefers the brain mulching.
I understand it's 10 years ago, and now he's a jaded, so things may have changed. But what thought it was interesting how his perspective differs.
So what's the deal?
It was a different time. And I think even, I think still I quite enjoy, I think certain content needs to be broken up and delayed, right? And it's better to have it more gradually.
Whereas other stuff I just want to, I don't know. I'm like, I don't know.
Yeah, do you know what? I have changed. Maybe I've changed.
Maybe I prefer
you're allowed to, by the way, that you know, people do. I think it's good that people change.
Like, you wouldn't want to stay the same all the time.
You're an ever-evolving person who's changing their ideas.
He's changing his mind. If you look through two years of podcasts, he changes.
I do. Contradicted myself.
That's probably we all have many times. Oh, absolutely.
Of course.
Of course, we have. We're human beings who are.
I'm allowed to do that.
In the last 10 years, I think it'd be crazy if you didn't change your mind on a couple of things
and do things.
10 years ago, I would have considered myself a feminist. But now, I fucking hate bitches.
I hate bitches. He hates bitches.
He said it as well.
It's the new generation that are all conservative that are doing this to you, P-Flex. You're just down with the kids if you hate bitches.
That's what I'm saying.
I just, ladies, I'm only joking. I love you all.
We've got some songs here. By the way, here's one thing that the ladies could do that all the fellas are doing this.
Ladies.
Oh, ladies.
So, so-called vagina havers.
Actually, what do you say? Gaping vagina havers.
Where are your songs? I only get lads sending me songs that they've written for the mailbag. I've got three here as an example: Bran, Adam, and Jonah.
Where's Tina? Hmm? Where's Lucy? Where's
Shironda? Where are the songs? Get your songs in.
Here's Bran's. Were you guys ready to play this one? Yeah, actually.
As ready as I'll ever be. Hang on a second.
Yeah. Okay, play it in three, two, one.
Play. Oh, it's the mailbag.
Wow.
Oh,
love it.
10 seconds of
perfect.
I like stuff like that. It's like a little zinger.
I'm just going to play it again.
You're going to play it again. I'll play it again as well.
Three, two, one. Play.
Oh, it's the male.
Oh, it's the male baby. I love that.
Yeah, okay.
I like a song that it starts off with just bop, bop, bop, bop. And then all the instruments are like,
like straight into the chorus. Love that, Brian.
Fantastic. Oh, this is from Adam because it has cowboy energy to it.
It does. It does have an energy.
This also has a country energy.
I don't know what's happening this week. Energy is country.
All right. Are you ready? This is Adam's song.
This is fantastic. Three, two, one, a palette.
My podcast made a podcast about your podcast, and they don't like it too much.
Anyway, I don't have a podcast. This ain't my voice if you have
a tiny penis
or even
a gaping bougain
you sure sunny and look down because i think that you'll find something similar to mine because you're listening to the triforce
male
bioga
Thank you, Brown.
It sounds like Bob Dylan
has done a cameo for us. It was very Dylan-esque.
It starts with a little
low-volume muttering
and then a little plinky guitar. It does sound like he's on a stage in the middle of a big room, and they're all quiet around.
I love songs that start with not music, you know, like you'll hear like a clinking of like glass or like
it sounds sounds like a busy room but it's not that loud and then it'll launch into like like an energy you feel like you're there it's teleportation whoever invented that
is a genius i invented it it really pumps you up big time i'm going to show these to sparkles because we're working on some music at the moment for yoga stuff
i am i'm not kidding i'm i'm an interesting i'm an excellent songwriter get me in i wrote mums in space for christ's sake
i can't believe i've been doing a podcast with the guy who wrote mums in space this whole time okay geez Let's do that.
I'll bring you down, Pre-Flex.
Yeah, I'll write you a fucking song. No, he's going to write you a fucking song.
I'll bring the toast. Don't choose it.
Exactly. All right.
This is from Jonah. Are you ready for this?
I haven't listened. I haven't pre-listened to this one.
I listened to the other two. I haven't pre-listened to this one.
Wanted to surprise myself. If it's just noise, I'm going to be.
We'll be upset.
Jonah, don't let us down. Three, two, one, a palette.
I'm not disappointed.
I love that.
Oh my God, you don't hear banjo players much anymore, you know? Yeah, this guy and Steve Martin, that's basically it. That's basically it.
Penis. Jack and he's played that himself, Jonah.
He sounds like it. Yes, of course he's.
He said to have, yeah. Yeah.
You can tell because his voice isn't close to his phone or whatever he's recorded it on. Yeah.
So he's just like, then he did the little bit of jazz.
All of these, they've got a real theme to them. These have all been really good ones, yeah.
I reckon if we got these three lads in a band, we'd have a fucking band.
Yeah, it'd be like Creedon's Clearwater Revival Revival. Yeah, it would be the revival.
They'd be reviving the previously revived.
Incredible. Oh, Triforce.
Mailboy. Triforce Crap Water Revival.
The Triforce Crap Water Revival. Revival.
Yeah.
Crapwater.
All right. This is from Alex.
This may seem a little egotistical, but I wanted to read this out because I thought it was quite a sweet email. And
I actually remember when this happened.
Just wanted to share a story that's been stuck in my head for a few years.
Back in 2018, my wife and I were on our honeymoon on the Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, the biggest ship in the world at the time. And who do I spot wandering around the deck but Pyrrhum Flax?
As a Triforce listener since day one, I had to say hello, so I nervously walked up and blurted out I have a tiny penis and probably terrified my new wife in the process.
Ted was polite and we spoke briefly, but I was far too starstruck to say much more. Months later, Ted mentioned on the podcast he'd been on the cruise and confirmed that it really had been him.
So yes, Alex, that was me. I do actually remember that quite well.
And I had two feelings. First of all, it was very weird that there happened to be a Triforce fan on the same boat as me.
I thought that that was unusual, but also I realized that I was now trapped at sea with a Triforce fan. So, everywhere you went, you would like go for a jog.
Oh, hey, you again.
Oh, no, like, did you just bump into him like repeatedly? And it's like I'm checking under the bed every time they came in the room in case he was waiting.
Oh, hey, Alex, uh, good to see you under there. What, what are you, what are you doing in my room again? You died tonight.
Yes, thank you. I say that every
I
get it, but I also think that in a sense, that's why you're on a cruise to make new friends, right?
I think that's why people do cruise. Older people definitely, that's why they cruise.
They want to meet new people. I don't think so.
Listen, in a sense, is it worse to make friends with someone a complete stranger or someone who already knows you, right?
And the relationship is obviously very one-sided because you don't know them at all. But, you know,
is that better or worse? Because you know he's going kind of like be nice to you because he, you know, he's a fan.
So, here's the thing: making new friends is
you don't want to make friends who's got time for listeners. You don't think any listeners would be your friend? No, I don't think so.
I've made a few friends from listeners,
I don't think anyone would be my friend. I think that's fine.
I think it's a bit different when you've got like
I feel like, I mean, I know we've said this before, but I feel like when you, when you're married and you have kids, you, you, you're less less inclined to seek out new friendships and stuff because you've got enough going on already, you know?
I mean, but
okay, I think about this from time to time because I remember meeting certain YouTubers and being incredibly awkward or like, um, like I'm a fan. Like, I think
I met Brian Kibbler once, and I was so awkward. Kibble? Brian Kibbler.
Nice man. The magic the gathering and Hearthstone guy, yeah.
Yeah, um, he's, uh, I think he's a bit sick of Hearthstone, to be honest. You can tell.
I think he's
losing the wheel to live playing the new Hearthstone. He's a bit sick of it.
It's been out for so long, you know. It's just
tough. I always sort of, you know, every time I see some, and he and a few others that I've met him over the time and just been a little bit awkward around, I've not cultivated a friendship with them.
But other people have done it very well and have become our friends, such as like the Longest Johns and the No Ross Bard guys, or like
Spiff, or going back further, like UP P Flax, you know, I think we, our interactions when we first met, were not. I wasn't like, oh, I'm a huge fan of your dotor animations, P Flax.
Could I hang out with you? Can I be your friend? Do you want to do a podcast with me? You didn't say that. If I'd done that, did you? That's exactly what he said.
Don't you remember the first time you guys ever said that?
I remember. You know, but I think that there's
basically, if are you saying that this fan that you met on the cruise gave a bad impression? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He didn't want to hang out with him any further. No, no, no.
I just said that was all jokes.
That was not the case. He was.
We invented a joking scenario around a newspaper.
Was he not the kind of guy you'd want to be seen? I don't think Lewis Gillespie. I didn't say any of this.
I don't think you understand what
I mean.
I'm only joking. I think it's because you were on holiday with your family on a cruise, and that's like, you know, you
didn't even enter my mind. It was just a joke.
I had no problem meeting the guy at all.
But I think from my point of view, though, there aren't like no. a job.
No, there's no point of view. There's no two worlds at all.
It was just a joke.
We met a fan on the ship, and I was like, hey, it's lovely to meet you. That was it.
There was no further thought about it. And then he gets pushed overboard.
We just created this
like a Seinfeld situation out of it because it would have been funny. But
I'm sane, though. Met somebody, said, Hi, how are you doing? Nice to meet you.
And that was it. End of.
End of.
It's like when I'm, you know, I went for dinner with my parents and, you know, I'm I'm stood around and it's like, you know, visit at a Chinese restaurant and
if it and, you know, if a fan approaches me in that situation, which has happened, it's much more difficult to,
because it's like my world is being, you know, I was like, oh, no, not now. Do you know what I mean?
But other times when, you know, if I'm at like at the Windrose gig or whatever, you know, and I get recognized, I'll be like, oh, lovely to meet you. Do you know what I mean?
Did the lead singer of windrose recognize you we got a special guest here in the house today
well because sparkles went up and sang on stage sang diggy y'all on stage oh i saw a clip of that incredible um it was did i tell you we did i tell you to talk about this at all going down talk about what about going to windrose uh no on the podcast yeah no i i mean i saw a clip of sparkles on the stage singing i think i talked about it um no you didn't the one thing i remember and one thing I'll take away from it is that you go to any other gig, right?
Yeah. And everyone is very delineated, whereas at a metal gig, everyone looks the same, right?
The manager is wearing the same clothes as the audience is wearing the same clothes as the band. Yeah.
I mean, everyone is like, you can't tell. You know, you'll meet.
It's a lifestyle.
It's a lifestyle. And you're like, is this? Because they all wear like this is like a uniform.
It's like a... metal t-shirt with some unreadable text, long hair, you know,
but no, there's a vibe. And I think, you know, obviously going to like a Justin Bieber gig or whatever, every group is very different and identifiable.
Speaking of gigs, I am going to see the Wu-Tang clan in March, the final chamber tour. They're going to be in London, me and Randy.
They're going to open the final chamber, finally.
They're finally opening the final chamber. Yeah, this is, I think, this is their.
They've got the strength for it. This is their farewell tour.
Yeah. It's quite heavy, but
once in a lifetime.
Yeah, young dirty bastard isn't even young anymore.
He's just dirty bastard. He's become old, yeah.
So it's that's not a great nickname, is it? Well,
he's got a follow in this middle-aged dirty bastard. Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, he's uh yeah, old, old, old dirty bastard now would be even older if he if he wasn't gone. But yeah,
we're excited. It'll be fun.
I don't know who's uh opening for them or anything, but it's at the O2. We're going to see them at the O2 Arena, which is, of course, the Millennium Dome.
We did talk about this. Yeah, we did talk about this.
This is from Noah. Over the last few podcasts, Lewis has mentioned the term friend slop.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Friend slop.
We've been talking about Friend Slop a lot. I'm up on the modern world.
There's lots of Friend Slop. There's the 6ix7 and the Riz and the...
Peak, Repo, and Lethal Company, some examples. And this RV, where RV going, that one.
And RV There Yet probably
are the standout Friend Slop games.
Yeah. Whereas, I think Peak, you can play solo, whereas RV There Yet would be tedious as hell playing solo.
So kind of are only playable really with a couple of funny friends.
Apparently they're only fun if you have funny friends. That's the rules for you.
Yeah.
So let's let's let Noah finish his thought here.
I feel like this term must have been coined by some marketing executive and a triple-A game publisher who was salty that their $400 million game didn't sell as well as these friend slop games made by one to three people in their spare time.
Don't let the man brainwash you into thinking these games are anything less than great. Yoxcast games publish Playt Up, and I feel like that falls safely into the Friend Slop category.
Doesn't mean it isn't a great game. So, first of all, I would say that Playt Up is a fantastic game.
I wouldn't call it Friend Slop because I think it's too well made.
I think some of these Friendslop games are literally quite shabbily made, and that's kind of the jank is part of the fun.
Like, Lethal Company was extremely janky and felt, I think it was one guy that made it, right? It really did feel
like it was just boshed together, which I love.
The same thing with Phasmophobia, the OG, right? Phasmophobia was like,
Jank heaven, but hilarious. That's a great idea.
And I think we are on to season two of these games.
Peak isn't made by like a small team. AgroCrab made a really successful game in Other Crabs Treasure, which is very highly reviewed.
It was in Jiggle Jam. They're great guys.
Landfall's a big company.
You know, they published
tabs and tons of other huge games. So, you know, this isn't a small, this isn't one guy trip.
Peak knew what they were doing to make this. And it's a very conscious decision to stylize these characters
in this way. Yeah.
You know, looking at polished, yeah. You know, talking to other people, you know, like Boba and stuff, you know, Boba's saying to me, she is a person.
That's you want to make a game. You should make a game that looks like Peak.
You should make a game that looks like Little Company or Repo.
Because, you know, that stylized, silly character, multiplayer, you know, everyone doing dumb things, laugh, laughable, clippable moments.
It gets picked up on by the AAAs, and you see it. Like, I mean, Ark Raiders, which you guys have been playing this week, is the evolution of the,
you know, the, the, the Tarkov, which isn't on Steam. It's amazing.
None of these games look janky at all, though. Tarkov and Ark Raiders look phenomenal.
No, but they're the polished versions of
Escape. It's almost like a genre, I think.
Like, all of these games. And I would say games with friends, like casual friend games, like you call, you referred to them as slop, which seems unfair.
I know, it does seem unfair. I agree.
I think it's unfair, but
I don't mind the term to describe a type of game. Like, if somebody says friend slop, I know exactly what games they're talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
I don't mind that. I don't think it takes anything away from those games.
I play a lot of them and enjoy them. I think they are.
They're fun.
Well, I think they were hoping that AI slop would be a kind of term that would catch on and be negative, but it feels like everyone...
I just read the thing on, I know, I know Arc Raiders is a huge thing, but I read the AI description of it today on Steam and it's so cleverly worded. Let me read this to you.
It says, during the development process, we may use procedural and AI-based tools. So it's not just AI, but it's procedural tools.
to assist with content creation.
In all cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team. Wow.
So that basically means we have used AI as much or as little as we liked and there you go but we've done it in a we've spun it in a way that's like you know our our team is on board for using it we haven't replaced people we're using the tools creatively our our team is still creative and we've used them you know i mean and that that is just like a very clever little way that you're going to see on every game from now on apparently apparently a lot of the voice lines flex and because i i'm i say this to flex because i know flex plays it because i played it with him um a lot of the voice lines uh around, you know, when you ping an item, you say, like, I have an egg.
Yeah. I got some
prickly pear. Yeah, yeah.
All of that stuff is
AI generated, apparently. Well, you can understand why.
Well, they probably use a lot of procedural tools because it just means now, in the life cycle of the game, if they're adding more and more items, because there's a new map coming out this month, actually.
And, you know, there might be new areas with new types of loot or whatever. So that means that they can just sort of plug it in and just say, yeah, generate voices for all of these new items.
They don't have to get back into the studio, they don't have to get the recording boot, but that is also true for anything that uses AI for voice.
And it is just basically putting voice actors out of work.
I'm not saying it's a great thing. Oh, listen, I know, but there's just as an example, though, right? There's a game that came up called Mimesis, Mimesis.
Yeah, I know, yeah, I heard
it. Mimosis, mimosis, and it's you remember Lethal Company, there was a mod that recorded you and played you back to other players, like when you got zombified and stuff.
So you'd be like, hello!
And let me record you. And it was notorious when it came out because it was saving all of those WAV files of you shouting and stuff onto your own hard drive.
And so people were having like hundreds of gigs of their own recording blocking up their hard drive. It was very funny and unoptimized.
But that's what you get with mods.
But that mod, obviously, and the Lethal Company and the Friends of Vibe was turned into this horror sort of mimesis game that, again, but it uses AI to record you and copy your voice and your behavior and your the way you speak and then play it back.
And that kind of use of AI is more interesting, I think,
than what
you know, than just replacing people, right? Yeah, I think just
I'm not up for just replacing people just because it's like, oh, we can save a couple of nickels on the on the production costs. And, you know, like, I, I, I don't like that at all.
Um, but I mean, if you're, if you're using these tools like cleverly where it doesn't actually impact
people,
I don't mind that.
I don't really have a problem with that. I agree.
My only concern, if I may, my only concern is that if a game is good or we like a product, we make excuses for its use of AI.
We wouldn't if it was shit. Yeah.
That's the only thing that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would just be another thing to complain about.
And the other thing is, this relies on the goodness of people, right? Like, you know, the.
I've always relied on the goodness of people. It's like the old idea of the nobility being, having a responsibility to look after their people in their village or whatever.
You know, the king, he, he was, he had an equal level of responsibility to, you know,
he was given all these privileges, but, you know, he had a duty. And, and of course, that only goes so far because you could just have a bad king or a king who decides to do nothing.
It relies, it does come down on the morals of that person. Now, it goes for everything on this kind of thing, right?
You've got a guy who's making a game and he's like, well, you know, I'm going to prototype all of my stuff with AI and I'll replace it later once the game's successful.
Of course, you don't have to, right? It's not like these guys, when they make their million, you know, it's like the high earner, not rich yet. What is rich, right, for you?
And that, and what is enough for you to see?
I see this a lot when I reach out. for Jingle Jam, right?
Like a game that's had no success sometimes is willing to just get in Jingle Jam to try and get their game played by people because that's what they want.
But as soon as they cross this sort of imaginary threshold in their mind where where the game is suddenly a source of, you know, their living, they're like, well, this game's now making enough to pay for me to do this amount.
So I can't risk it anymore. And then as soon as it's made a certain amount, they're like, well, this game's made a certain amount.
Now it can make more, right? That like it's worth so much.
And then, you know, you get more people involved. You get like other people involved with the investment and things like this.
And
it changes the dynamic, right? And I think it changes people's mindsets.
This idea of this whole high earner not not rich yet, it's entirely
sometimes nothing is enough, right? For these, for people, you know, sometimes you'll never consider yourself rich. I think it's very hard to do that.
Like, I think I've referred to myself as rich previously because I think I probably am. You know,
I've just, I've basically spent everything I've got on this big new house that I'm going to move to.
Do you actually? What are you going to do for food?
I'm still earning. I'm still doing the Oxcast.
What am I going to do for food? It's like a five-bed.
Five bedrooms.
That's crazy. He's one person.
He needs a five-bedroom house. This is how the other side lives.
He's got one limb in each bedroom. He's got his foot
in one room. His other foot in another room.
What the fuck are you going to do in the five bedroom? Like Stretch Armstrong.
Just sleeping in five bedrooms.
You're going to go.
You're starting your own
cult or something. Cult.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's getting turning all Jared Leto. I can imagine you having a Jared Leto.
He's going all David Koresh. He's going to be signed.
Jesus. What? Yeah.
We're going to fucking live
Lulu's house.
I'm going to get one of the rooms converted to be a sacrificial chamber. Right.
Get like a basic thing. What kind of things are going to sacrifice
in salt and stuff?
Sacrifice.
I mean, some of the bedrooms are influenced, so
it's going to be quite a boxy.
You got a box room or two in there thrown in.
You got a basement? No basement. No.
Could have done a bit of of a fritzel there. I was just going to say, you could have done a fritzel.
Just more poor taste
things, references that we can come up with. We've mentioned David Koresh.
When are we going to mention? You could do a Jeffrey Dahmer in your basement. How about that?
I guess like
keep jars of men's penises down there.
Yeah,
I've been trying to make this game and I've been really resisting using AI art for it.
I was making a board game and I started using AI art and I just felt so bad that it actually sucked all of the energy out of the project for me and I kind of gave up on it. And I've
this this time, the project I'm making, I've only bought assets from the Unity store.
I think I've spent, honestly, like I spent fuck all. Do you know what I mean? I spent like a hundred quid on assets, but I bought so much random shit off like people.
And it feels like at least then I'm giving back. But I think
that could have been a secondhand futon in one of your five new bedrooms.
But no, now it's just assets from the asset store.
Well, but I've even started noticing on the Unity Assets tour that some of these things are made by AI. People are just making fucking stuff on AI and selling it as if it's theirs.
And
it's not great. And so I don't know.
I feel like it's a bit of a pit trap
around every corner at the moment. And
it's a Wild West. It's a Wild West.
Let's read some emails. It's always a Wild West.
That's all I get. That's all I get out of my way.
Remember when YouTube was like, it still is kind of, but like, remember, like early YouTube, like when when we were getting started and stuff, it was really the Wild West, really?
Bang on bingo balls. Reply girls and everything.
It was like the Wild West.
Try Force podcast, Mess Vagina.
I just watched Blue Zephos new video about.
I'm not sure. My melons are out, though.
Admire my melons.
Reply girls. Reply girls.
Good time. Oh, God.
She was crazy, man. I think she was trapped in a Fritzel-style basis.
I think she might have been. One of us, one bedroom of a flyer.
Do more supplies.
Do more supplies. We should have been more responsible about how we, you know, we should have rescued her.
Yeah, could have. Yeah.
Just done a
dead now. Is she actually? No, I got it.
What a terrible thing to say. You're a paw or something.
God damn, Lulu. All right.
She might be bro. We don't know.
Brett says, you guys briefly spoke about poor Rubens' tragic passing. That's Pee Wee Herman.
Yes.
One thing that I think needs to be corrected is the matter of him cranking his hog in a movie theater. Yeah.
There is more to the story, and the way it is usually told is an effort to besmirch him.
Yes. He was not caught in an everyday movie theater.
He was caught in an adult theater. Yeah, of course, aka a place where cranking it a bit might be a bit more acceptable.
And also, you know, you go in there with other hog crankers looking to crank each other's hogs, perhaps. And he was caught by undercover cops.
This is how some hotels are.
He's also caught in Florida, which I don't think.
Yeah, it's like satanic panic and homophobia and all that stuff. I don't think they want to accept that potentially there is a place where
gay men
can gather and just don't down the road or whatever. We're cranking hogs.
Yeah, we're sucking off.
Yeah, I agree. There's a lot.
Don't sit next to me. We'll watch the film.
But don't get too close. It might be a cop and then we're going to jail.
There's more. There's definitely more to that story than I'm cranking pee-wee.
I'm cranking his knob.
Oh, dear. Sorry.
I reckon we could develop that. Yeah.
God, if you're listening.
Brandon. When he comes inside, my boy.
Does anyone recognize that tune? Yeah, it's the littlest hobo. It is the littlest hobo.
I love the littlest hobo. It was about a dog that just traveled around and
down the road. That was the tune.
I'll always be.
And then I go back down the road and I'm home again.
Maybe tomorrow when I want to settle down. That's a great thing.
Maybe tomorrow I'll just keep moving on.
I like the pornographic remix that you did as well. I think that's
what I had.
See, I told you
when you've got the gold right here.
Yeah, just letting it slip through your fingers, everybody. Come on.
All right, so Truro City versus Gateshead. Just listening to the latest mailbag.
Yes, the leagues below the National League, the fifth tier, become regionalized with the National League North and South, which is something I said, they get north and south.
But Truro City of Cornwall were promoted from the NLS to the National League last season and have already played the longest ever trip in English football when they took on Gateshead the other week.
So you had to go from Truro up to Gateshead near Newcastle.
So although they they are absolutely fucking miles it's yeah it's like hundreds of miles that's a long way for a football match um so yeah pretty crazy and i'd said it's not like you've got a team in truro playing a team in carlisle and then literally that happened this season so okay had a few emails about that thank you for for all of them um also
someone explaining we were talking about metal 3d printing do you remember we mentioned this metal 3d printing yeah i met someone who does it in for the french uh military or something right so 3d printing stuff because you know, most 3D printing, it's like plastic, isn't it?
Yeah, it is. You just put in the stuff and it heats it up and then puts it in a filament.
So this does.
It's on a spool and it melts it. Right, right.
It spools it in. So it does the same thing with metal.
The process is called, this is from...
Devin, by the way, it's called direct metal laser sintering. Sintering, which is not a lot of fun.
I love that.
Yeah. Involves microscopic titanium particles so small that we have to wear full respiratory equipment to stop ourselves from breathing in the particles particles and shredding our lungs.
The metal powder is laid out in a print bed layer by layer while a high-powered laser sinters 2D slices of the desired object, slowly building up to a finished 3D titanium heart.
I'm going to look up what the word sinter means now. Wow.
It sounds like a hard, silaceous or calcious deposit precipitated from mineral springs.
Well, I'll say solid material which has been sintered, especially a mixture of iron ore and other materials. So I think it's having a powder and having the powder, heating the powder to it to like
turn it into a liquid and then that it dries as a solid, right? Fascinating. So you, yeah, it's it's, I guess it's, um,
I see, I've seen it be used in some of the new mobile phones because there's this guy who, who shreds them and there's a bit of like, I think they're starting to use it in like titanium to do like the, some of the, some of the layers.
Oh, clever stuff. I guess, you know, that's, that's where you'll see it at that, those, the cutting edge of the money, whatever makes it.
You be careful, PFAX.
They're going to snap you up and plug you into the AI bots to use your user. Your good ideas, yeah.
Your creativity, yeah. They're gonna, they're gonna,
I didn't come up with, I didn't come up with
to take a look at we've enslaved this man to hopefully use him for a little bit of AI here and there under our own creative guidance. And our whole dev team is behind this.
We got a new music generation tool, it's called PFAX. We've taken all his clothes off, we've put him in a tank, and we've hooked him up to tubes.
The whole dev team is behind him.
No problem, he's got tubes going into every hole in his body. Good God.
Do they come out again as well or just in? No, they just go in.
Well, they just go in so they can suck out all the ideas and the other fluids as well. It's like
the ideas out on Wi-Fi, probably. I think they could get the ideas out with one tube that goes up my arse because that's where I talk and think mostly.
Right.
Shooting out my just free-flowing creativity through the tube. Just like a human set of money.
Yeah. Yeah.
Nice. Truro City.
Yeah. How many people live there? Like, like 20,000? No.
That's not very many. 89,000 people.
In Truro. No, I'm only kidding.
It's probably like 10,000. Who is the mayor?
It's not the main
thing.
It's a tiny place. So, Truro,
I reckon the population of Truro is about 15,000. I could be wrong.
Do they have a mayor? Do you need a mayor for 15
years? 23,000.
23,000.
Many crazy.
Maybe you are in. It's like a neighborhood.
It's like a neighbor. Maybe you are in mayor territory at that point.
Truro's nice. I've been there.
I went to university in Plymouth. And so I know Devon and Cornwall, you know, we traveled all over there in our spare time.
Right. Got friends that live down there going holidays down there.
West Country is beautiful. It's beautiful.
It's God's ankle. Yeah.
Speaking of God, my theory on the origin of the Marilyn Manson slash other celebrities rib removal rumor. The origin of the original.
Yeah, this is from Liam with a lovely alliterative rib removal rumor. Hello, Pyrrhon, and associated members of Triforce.
That's you guys. Hi.
I'm from New Zealand. Not relevant.
I thought I would bait you into attempting the accent. It was a bit tricky.
I've always had a weird theory. It is a bit tricky.
On the origin of the high school rumor that Marilyn Manson had a rib removed to suck his own dick.
What you touched on was the fact that different generations believed other celebrities,
Mark Bolin, Prince, etc. Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson. Indeed.
My theory is that this rumor goes all the way back to the creation of life. Genesis.
221 to 22.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof.
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman
brought her up to his ribcage. Holy shit.
To remove excess ribs. And lo, Moses was able to knosh off his horn.
So the Lord looked and said, This is good.
So Adam was able to give him, wasn't it himself? No, allowed Liam to finish. Okay.
Now, I am no biblical scholar or even believer for that matter.
We could speculate that at some point, Eve may have performed the act of fellatio on Adam, in which case, Adam had his rib removed, so he, his rib, could suck him off.
Over time, this rumor was possibly attributed around various celebrities of the day. Cave artists, gladiators, Oscar Wilde, etc.
More likely just started with the rock stars of the 50s and 60s.
But I always found the similarities between the rumor and the story of Adam and Eve uncanny and even weirder. I seem to be the only person who's ever thought of this.
Liam, good luck with your finals exams that I know you're studying for. And thank you for a fantastic email.
Lots to think about.
Liam, that Bible study session we just had was the most fun I've ever had. Man, I wonder who the first person ever to
suck someone off was. Like, it must have been really weird.
How do you even, how did you even develop
the notion to do such a thing? You know, like, it just feels like, I don't know. So it's an odd one to think about.
Yeah.
You're sitting there and you're just like, man, I'm bored. Maybe I can suck that thing.
Like it just, it just seems weird. No, I don't know.
Yeah. I guess.
I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, there is essentially, given that human beings at some point, although obviously maybe our ancestors, maybe those species also sucked each other off.
I mean, geez, there's not much to do all that. I don't know.
Do you like, does the rest of the animal kingdom suck each other off? I think it's monkeys jack off all the time. So I'm assuming they're
they
do they suck each other off though i i don't know maybe if you put a little bit of uh banana down there you know
rub some banana on it the deal of it
this is how you get the girls to suck you off
i see so it's like the dick in the box classic yeah cord trick yeah right it's a it's a classic of the the chimp world the monkey world you uh put a bit of banana down there and bingo bango i love that the email kind of insinuated that Eve was sucking Adam off, like in the in the garden of Eve.
Some people really like it. So, you know, maybe it's like a thing like, you know, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Some people really like it. Some people really like it.
Yeah. No, no.
What are you talking about? Let's move on. Some people really like the thought of Adam and Eve.
Really like getting blowjobs. Are you saying that some people really like giving blowjobs? Are you saying that some people really like thinking of Adam and Eve?
Some people, I don't know why I mentioned Credit Tarantino again, are
with a desire to put feet in their mouths. Yeah, yes, yes.
And some people.
I have known some girls who fucking loved giving blowjobs. Sadly, none of them
marry blowjobs or were married to me, but they loved giving them and they're like open about it. They fucking love it.
Exactly.
So I think that when the first one of them, or it might have been a man, was born who loves, who loves, loves putting cocks in their mouth. That was when it started.
Question answered. Next.
Listen, who was the first one, though? Because, like, you know, like the inventor of the toilet was John Crapper. And,
you know, the
inventor of the telephone was Alexander Graham Bell. So you're saying it was like Michael Suckoff or something.
No, it was like Jenny Gardner.
But all of these things are invented by men. because they stole the credit back then.
So this would probably be when some bloke is claiming the idea of blowjobs, he's invented it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Behind every great man, there's a great woman sucking him off, is what they're saying.
If it was, it was more of a, I guess it would be more of a reach around if she was behind.
Uh, all right, this is uh, although some lads can put their knob like at mad angles, what do you mean? Like buffer on Bill when he tucks
when he does that. Can we just enjoy that sentence?
Some lads can put their knobs at mad angles. I just love that sentence.
It's true.
Some lads can put their knobs at mad angles. That sounds like a great band name.
I have seen it. Or the name of an angle.
I'm just saying, like, for me, it's not that flexible
once it's up. Once it's up.
It's pretty much.
I always thought that it would really hurt if you had to do like a full sprint run whilst fully erect.
you know i'm sure if you tuck it into the waistband of your undies what i'm saying no no you're like okay you're fully naked with a full lobby you're fully erect And putting it at all angles.
Sprint run. I think that would.
I'm sure. Yes, of course.
I mean, I always heard there was like a you can have some surgery to cut like a muscle somewhere that would allow it to go at any angle.
It's those ones that go at like, you know, like set, go slightly. Like they're putting it straight down, straight down.
Like practically between their legs, like
still, you know, doing their business. I'm like, how are you doing? Like a plugin.
They even snap off. They're doing quite artificial.
You bend it too much.
They're like circus performers. They're like freaks.
Speaking of freaks, this is from Cooper, whose aunt Pia Mirinda is a winner. Sorry, Miranda is a winner of the Australian Survivor TV show.
Oh, cool. Apparently, Sips is a big fan.
If you have any questions, ask them. Yeah, I will fire them off.
I'm not a huge Survivor fan as such.
I watched the English one, the British one that was out and enjoyed it and was hoping for more, but I've never really watched any of the American series or any other ones.
But I did like it, and I would be interested in watching more. But
yeah, I don't know. That's not what they've asked.
They don't ask if you've got to watch it. They want to ask if you've got any questions.
Any production questions?
Like, yes, you can ask questions about what it was like winning it, or, you know, what was this happened behind the scenes or that, that, and the other.
If you don't have any questions, we'll just move on.
Yeah, I don't really have any. It's like I'm more into traders.
I would have production questions about the traders
more so than Survivor. You know,
interesting. Sorry.
I apologize
that we haven't watched the australian one no i haven't seen
it but congratulations your mum winning though that's crazy
yeah look hey thanks for the email sorry we don't have any follow-up questions best of luck to you that just happens

All right, this is this one's from Marley, who asks me why I don't like Strongbow. Um, I'm an American, my stepdad is Welsh.
We went to Wales to see his family, stopped by at a pub, and he ordered a pint for me, uh, and it was Strongbow.
Um, listen, Marley, Strongbow is the pits, it's the worst, it is the worst of the ciders, it is lacking in flavor, depth of flavor, it's incredibly acidic,
and it'll fuck you up. It'll fuck you you up.
Sounds like it's fucking you up right now.
Just think about it. Just bring it out.
I think it's almost
the cheapest mass-produced one. And it's a bit bitter as well.
Yeah, it's bitter, acidic piss. Compare it to the monster people.
I would drink it if there was nothing else, though. Like, it doesn't.
I wouldn't.
Even if I was going to die of thirst, I wouldn't drink a fucking. I honestly think Strongwow has done cider a bad disservice.
Yes, it has. Yes.
I think it's made people less likely to drink.
It's dry. I think that is what it's about.
And And it's supposed to be. And some people like that.
But
it's gotten to be way more popular than it should have been, I think. It's just so accessible.
That's why. It's like a porter or something or something.
It's like a specific kind of.
Not everyone likes drinking those kind of weird beers. And that's why lager is more popular.
Do you know what I mean? But I think cider is supposed to be the lager. Almost like the lager of cider.
It's like the Labatt's blue of cider, you know, like it's
very, very run-of-the-mill mainstream cider.
There are better alternatives, but I mean,
that's for everything. That goes the same for everything.
But having said that, there will be some people who just like that, and that's fine too. No, they're scum.
It's not fine.
It's not fine for flax. Flax doesn't like that.
Look,
people get, it's the same thing with tea. Everyone's got their tea type.
I used to be a Fair Trade 99 co-op tea drinker, and now I'm a Yorkshire tea drinker. And
I'm never going to look back because I just put it in the future. I think the flavour is fun.
I bet you they've got periodic. It's got a nicer flavor.
It's got fucking 20 different flavours of Strombo. And I reckon if we did like a taste test here in the office over Jingle Jam, you wouldn't be able to tell the fucking difference.
I absolutely would.
You got me a strombo and a Thatcher's and got me to taste the one and say, Which is the same thing.
What about the Pepsi challenge?
I'm going to prepare.
Can you tell
me? Can you tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke? Yeah. I can as well.
I've drunk so much Coke in my life. I don't drink it anymore, but like at one point I was drinking so many Cokes per day.
I can definitely tell the
classic.
Co-classic. None of the other shit.
I'm saying the actual fucking Coke. Co-classic.
There is nothing else that tastes like it.
We're going to do a Strongbow versus Thatcher's taste test. Easy.
Easy as a challenge. If you drink a lot of cider, you'd be able to pass to ace that one, no problem.
Okay, good. No, I'm excited.
Let's see. Cool.
This is from Harry. This is a flame email directed at me.
I want to have a fucking word with you, Harry.
He says, listening to Mailbag 50, where Pyrrhian got mad at Lewis and the Sips for not caring about my afc bournemouth story just wanted to say they were right for not caring comparing leices premier league title win to bournemouth getting to the premier league is nonsensical to say the least well dear you're incorrect careful you don't want to step on people
first of all i will grant you that leicester city winning the premier league was one of the great football achievements and genuinely incredible and shocking in its time.
Let us not forget that the other teams in the league that year that were in the running to win the Premier League were all absolute shit.
And the only team they had to beat out at the end was Spurs, who are always going to blow it. So congratulations, Leicester.
You had a great season. You absolutely won the top.
You absolutely deserved to win it. But it's not like the other teams around.
It's not like you were having to see off Arsenal and Manu. They were all in the doldrums.
They were playing like wank and Man City terrible that season. Go look at the table.
Look at the results. Almost started the bottom of league two on minus 17.
We had no money.
We weren't allowed to sign any players. We had to get some loanies and free trousers.
We were fucked.
And an ex-player of ours, who'd never coached, retired from the game, came in as a manager, led us up the league to the Premier League, and we currently sit fifth at the table.
So, yes, it is an achievement, and no one talks about it. I'm sick to death of every article talking about Man Yu Stumble.
No, Bournemouth beat Man Yu is the headline, but no, we're the ignored club of the Premier League.
You've set him off. You've set him off.
Listen, well done here.
I think the thing shocked everyone was that if you had to like name, I don't know, 20 British towns and cities, you just Leicester is like the most forgettable place. Do you know what I mean?
There's nothing interesting about it's a fucking dump.
Well, I mean, you can say that about quite a few towns as well.
Oh, dear, you go see Leicester's adorpish lovely. It's good, there's a bit of grass on the outside, and there's a couple of roads, and there's even a Wilkinson's.
You're very vicious when it comes to football, aren't you, P-Flat?
I think it's in the nature of football support.
It's a tribal thing.
All right, got an email for you, Lulu. This is from Katie.
It is not. It's an apology.
I wanted to write in to apologise to Lewis. I'm a volunteer and qualified train guard with Bristol Harbour Railway.
Nice.
A preserved heritage railway running in Bristol city centre. Okay.
Yesterday, Sunday the 26th of October, I was on the platform outside M Shed, making sure no one wandered down into the fenced off area.
It's full of oil, grease, and other debris from the steam locomotive. It's slippery and dirty.
I remember this incident. Whilst I was there, you'll love this bit.
A young man started walking into the platform and I had to shout to him to walk around the other way.
It wasn't until he looked my way, I realized it was Lewis. Maybe it was just because he was mid-flow, but I was worried I'd annoyed him.
This is never my intention when dealing with the public.
I just need to be assertive to keep people safe.
I wanted to immediately quell the tension by proclaiming, I am Dave Exclamation Mark Yognaut, and I have the balls, which is something that people say all the time in their emails.
And I generally just skip over the email because I still don't understand what that means. But decided against it being in a professional environment and all that.
Even though I missed my chance, it was nice to tell my colleagues I'd seen the famous Lewis Brindley, albeit in less favourable circumstances. And generally, apologizes for shouting at you.
And if you want, come on by and you can have a ride on me, says Katie. Brackets, a train ride, that is, not a ride, literally.
Thank you for
Dave Exclamation Mark Yognaut, and I have the balls, because I have seen this. It's like the tiny penis thing, but it's for Simon and Lewis's
Yogpod podcast way back. I see.
I am Dave. It was just a way of letting other people know that you listen to the same thing that they listen to.
Yeah. I am Dave, Exclamation Mark Yogna, and I have the balls.
That's what gets me.
You could say, I am Dave Yognaut, comma, and I have the balls, but it's like, I am Dave, Yognaut, and I have the balls. I don't understand that.
It doesn't scan in my brain.
I think you'll have to listen to the podcast from 15 years ago to understand. Yes, I'm too busy.
He's a little far too busy. It's too exactly.
And
I wouldn't even know. I'm a different person.
He's changed a lot.
I used to enjoy weekly Netflix releases. Well, he's a bingo.
He's a big binger.
Now he's a binger like the rest of us. Lying there in his bed, his little stomach.
Yeah, he's like jabber the hut in his bed. More shows.
We're going to get some more shows to watch.
his partner is actually uh salacious b crumb that little preacher
more shows
i'm going to convert one of my other bedrooms into a ritual chamber um i want to watch the entire box set of the sopranos in bedroom number four
right now
there is um there is a lovely heritage railway that runs up and down uh the harbour in bristol and it's a little bit kind of
I wonder if I've been thinking about this. Is there a trestle bridge? Electric cars are doing a cross-class car.
Is there a trestle? Is there a trestle?
What do you want? Is there a trestle bridge on the line? I find most heritage lines have some sort of trestle bridge, you know? Like,
I don't know. And if there is, it's probably a huge expense to keep it fixed.
Well, I needed to, I needed an answer. That's why I feel like I'm like my four-year-old daughter.
Dad, Dad, Dad, I'm fucking talking right right now. Dad,
Trump parks the car. Let me go for a train.
Oh, fuck.
So, no, I did remember that moment. And I think it's the thing is, I do see that train poodling up and down the line.
And I always wonder, what's the stopping speed on it?
Because there's just people milling, right? There's kids running. There's people.
It's not that loud when it's going along. Yeah.
You know, and if you've got your headphones in, I just wonder how many people are electric cars killing more pedestrians or are they?
They thought at one point that they were yeah but now if you notice most electric cars make these futuristic sounds you know they they sound like they're like
and when they're when they're reversing and stuff they make noise and that's because the the very first electric cars were so silent that yeah people were getting hit by them uh you had no you had no heads up that a car was coming you know you like
like yeah you rely on all the sounds you can hear all these noises of a car you know even taste minutes minutes before that the car is even in view.
Oh, this oil is fresh. So, now electric cars have these sort of artificial sounds that they make just to give you a headset.
They go,
that's the one. Yeah,
from Jim Cherry, dumb and dumber. That's all you hear coming around the corner.
Simon's joined us, everyone. Say hi.
Hello. Simon.
It's Sme the Diggy Dee Hole Man.
This is actually a good question.
question, Flax, about the balls. I have a question for you.
Okay, go ahead. I get people emailing in quite often, Simon, and they say, I am Dave, exclamation mark, Yognaut, and I have the balls.
Can you explain the origin of this, please?
No. Excellent.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
This was so long ago.
It's the same RSS feed as this podcast is on. Yeah.
Back in the day, the days before the Triforce, there was the Yog pod.
and i don't know why the exclamation mark who
knows
this is like almost 20 years ago yeah it's a long time who gives a
true well
none of this is going out right no
hundred percent going out yeah what well
huh
are you looking forward to jingle jam
yeah
yep looking forward to uh yeah i got i've got some uh some writing to do for it and um the important important videos list, I've got to compile that. Oh, God, loud this year.
Can you
actual good video?
It was kind of a bit depressive and weird last year, but this year it's there's bangers. There's a guy fingering a bagel and then literally cream off of it.
Oh, wow. Very good.
Look, can we just look, the Sarah TikTok thing is what upsets me every year because I watch it and I feel so disconnected from whatever reality she lives in that her selection of TikToks and stuff.
I want you to come down harder on that shit.
I'm expecting all of Sarah's TikToks are going to be six, seven memes. Right.
I want you to really go in hard this year, Simon, because
you're like my avatar when I watch that stream. I'm like channeling my energy into you to have a real go at Sarah when she posts this shit.
So please, I want some curse words.
We'll make sure that we'll have like a remote connection to her as we usually do and then bother her and get her to explain herself thank you so much i need that because that's always cringe like trying to explain a joke but also it's someone else's joke yeah but also some of it is so baffling if it's not translated into english i don't know what the is going on and she's killing herself laughing i'm like no no no you've got to tell me why this is funny i don't even understand it i still don't quite know that i got the the chimney falling jimmy fallon thing
god it's just so weird like i think i made that up as like that was the joke, and it was completely unrelated. God, but there was one about Costco as well, something about going to Costco.
I remember that from Leather Last. You're gonna get a hot dog, the Costco hot dog.
I don't even know. So Simon, can I quickly ask you a question before you go about
your thoughts on
World of Warcraft player housing in the year 2025? And are you going to
partake?
World of Warcraft.
When did I last play World of Warcraft? Seven, eight years ago? I don't know.
I feel like this could tempt you back. Don't you want to have your own house? Google Battle for Azeroth.
That's the last time you played. All right, okay.
Wow. When was that? Oh, that was a long time ago.
That was seven years ago. Yeah.
So you missed like three expansions, pretty much. Yeah, yeah.
So I don't really care that much. All right.
You know, I'm having fun. I just wanted I had fun playing Kenshi the other night.
Oh, nice. Okay.
But something was wrong because I think playing it was drawing so much power. My PC was using so much energy to play Kenshi that the power went off not once, but twice.
Like it tripped the circuit breaker just playing this shitty little... Yeah.
You ever played Kenshi? Samurai Robots? Yeah, that's good. It's pretty good.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, I started off being a slave in a cage. Yes.
That's not a sex thing.
It's a difficult game. It's got a steep learning curve.
Yeah. Are you past the steep part of the learning curve or are you still? I don't know.
I escaped. Right.
And I think there was a lot of luck because one of the guards bugged. Right.
Like, I escaped the quarry where we were forced to dig stone.
And the guards caught up with me. There are a bunch of these bone dogs.
Some of them attacked the bone dogs.
And one guy like battered me to the ground and then did first aid on me, went to pick me up, but then kept like dropping me and picking me up, dropping me over and over and over again.
My character's in like a fucking coma. And eventually he just stopped attempting to carry me and just wandered off.
So I escaped. Nice.
That counts. An escape is an escape.
We were wondering who, where the first blowjob came from. I'm sorry?
When was the first blowjob? Who invented the blowjob? Who was the first? I think it was Jesus. Jesus.
Jesus taught in his first Sermon to the Mass.
Jesus, he was a carpenter and one day he was polishing something, but he ran out of polish and so he had to use saliva and it was like this long. It was like...
He was making a knob.
Yeah, he was basically making a doorknob. And he had to like slobber down on it in order to polish it.
Yeah. Well, thank you so much.
And he was like, thank you for for this would be so cool thank you so much for this if a prostitute named the same name as my mother did this to me
all right well it's good to have you on the radio thank you so much is pushing me out of the room thank you simon
thank you bye simon
to have a little cameo from uh the old old faithful old reliable old reliable good old uh good old simon yeah well we're not going to top that so i guess we'll wrap it up we can wrap it up we can wrap it up and like Jesus did, not do.
Thanks so much for listening to another mailbag, Triforce mailbag. The glory hole.
Simon did mention he's a carpenter. He did invent the glory hole.
Is that true?
That is something that Jesus did invent, yeah. Is that where you could go? But you could see God through it.
Even though he's always known for popping holes through
bathroom walls, that was like his
Jesus. Yeah.
Christ.
Exactly. Yes, that one.
I didn't read that.
Which one of the books of the Bible is that in? It's in the Apocrypha. Okay, it's in the appendixes.
Excellent stuff. Yeah, great stuff.
Thank you. You learn something new every day.
Indeed, you do. Fascinating.
All right. Well, we love you.
And that was great. Thank you for writing.
Thank you so much for all the emails. And sorry to the guy about the survivor thing.
I just didn't have any questions, you know? Yeah.
I feel bad. Asked in a few questions.
Do you have any questions? No. I do not.
I don't know. I wish I did, though.
I feel bad. We should, no, but we don't feel bad.
We delivered. You know?
Do you asked if we had any questions? I passed on the information request. Your answer was in the negative.
We move on. Next email.
Yeah, I guess that is how it works. It's taking care of business.
Yeah. All right.
Bye, everyone.
Keep them coming. Thank you so much.
Bye-bye. Oh, and ladies, get your jingles in.
Ladies. Oh, ladies.
Jingles.
That'll get them. That'll get them fired.
I think you've got to get them fired.
Get ready to be flooded.
That'll have definitely done it. Really condescending and sexist.
Women, ladies, get some jingles.
Okay, all right. Bye.
Bye. Bye.
