Been in London for five years now. Where are you from? Because your accent says you're not from here. I'm not, I'm very northern. So, yeah, I'm from a tiny little town up in the Lake District. So, couldn't be more different to London. Just watch how I become more and more northern as this show goes on.

It happens. It happens to the best of us. I do. I, no, but I'm worse, I'm worse than most people for accents. I will literally start to adopt whoever I'm talking to, I'll start adopting your accent. What's it called? I think the technical term is hedging. Is it?

Apparently, yeah. I think. I might be wrong. Don't quote me. That's quite sexual. It does, isn't it? Or maybe that's edging. Oh, yeah.

Mixing them up. But yeah, no, I do that. I used to work in a call centre. And by the end of the phone, honestly, I'd be like Welsh, Irish. It would be like, okay. All right, then. You have a lovely day.

You're like, what? Take care. Right, okay. Let's get straight into the bit of music because I've got a patch show full of soundtrack. That's what we do, Sophie, every week. I go and find my favourite songs that I'm loving from TV shows, Netflix shows,

old, new, whatever doesn't matter. I'm going a bit old school now. This is an 80s track called Axel F, which has appeared recently on the Netflix Glow, which if you haven't checked that out, it is my favourite thing on Netflix at the moment. It's so good. I finished it.

Yeah. It's brilliant. It's so good. Not going to lie, there are a lot of songs coming up from Glow, so today's going to be very 80s theme. So we're going to kick it off with this one, and I think we should have a little bit of a boogie just because it's Friday, and we'll get warmed up.

Definitely. Do some lunges. Here we go. Oh, it ended. Okay, that's awkward. Awkward when you're singing a song and it just cuts out on you. Cheers. Cheers for music deck.

It's amazing. Okay, dokey, what's going on in film news? Right, so we were literally just talking about this off air, won't we? Baby Driver. Oh, yes. So Edgar Wright is already in talks about a Baby Driver sequel. Is he? Yes, which I'm like, yes!

I mean, it's not really a surprise. It's like smashed the box office. It smashed the reviews. Yeah. It is my favourite. I'm going to go see it again, actually, on Sunday. Are you? Yeah.

Yeah, it's wicked. I just want to see it because we got to go see the premiere, didn't we? We did, indeed. Yeah. Which was all kinds of fun. So if you haven't checked out baby driver at the cinema, really do. And also go to Spotify because they've got the entire soundtrack on there. The soundtrack is amazing.

We were just saying, like, I was listening to it on the underground on the way here. And you're literally a walking with purpose. Like it's a soundtrack to your life. It is. It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. So I'm so excited if that number two is on the cards. I hope it's still got all everyone involved that didn't die.

No spoilers. No, what? So hopefully. Hopefully. because it kind of ends on a I wasn't sure whether the ending was sort of a dream or whether it was the real thing. Was it the end?

Was it the end? Or was it just the beginning? We don't know. Very exciting. If you have seen the film and you would like to win a little bit of merchandise, stay tuned because we've got a baby driver competition we're going to launch on the show today. So you're going to need to be involved in our Twitter for that

at Fubar Radio. Just make sure you're following. All you need to do is retweet when we launched that competition and you can win a whole bundle of a show. official baby driver stuff. Very nice. Very exploited. Oh, you're very generous. I wish you could win baby.

That would be great. A baby? No, not a baby. Babi is, just to clarify, I do not want to win any children. Baby is the name of the lead guy in the film. He's the getaway driver and he's called Baby and I kind of have a crush on him now.

Oh, do you know? I think I do. He was in fault in our stars, wasn't he? He was also the main guy in fault in our stars. So if you didn't have a crush in him on that, you will now. You will now when he's driving a car. car and being all sexy.

Okay, dokey. Now, Emma Stone has said that male co-stars have taken pay cuts to ensure equal pay, because there is a lot of chit-chat. Well, always there's a lot of chit-chat, but especially right now in Hollywood about equal pay, equal right, who gets paid fairly and what-and-what. I think it was, who's the most well-paid? I think it's Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah, it is. I think she's the most well-paid.

And I think the male is Dwayne Johnson, quite possibly. I think like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The Rock. Dwayne the Rock Johnson. But saying that, even though Jennifer Lawrence was the most well paid, she got like less of a fee than, I think, I'm pretty sure she got less of a fee than Chris Pratt for passengers.

Yeah, there's a lot of things, isn't there? It was Wonder Woman. That's another good example. There's a big thing about she got massively underpaid in comparison to anyone that's done sort of another superhero movie. To Superman. Yeah. Yeah, Superman got like millions and she got 300.

Yeah, that was it. It's bad, isn't it? I mean, she has got more now. Now that the film's done really good, I think she's been paid in like sort of sub-jews afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I just made that word up, sub-jews. Royalties.

That's the one. But I'm going to call them sub-jews. I mean, yeah, she's about to star in her next movie, which is called Battle of the Sexes. And she's revealed that male actors that she has worked with have taken a pay cut to match her salary, which is really nice. And I think the Big Bang Theory,

they did this as well. Yes, they did. All the five main members of the Big Bang theory, they took a pay cut so that the other two who played Bernadette and the thing of me Bob's girlfriend, the two girlfriends. Oh, yeah.

They could get pay rises. That was it. So that was quite nice of well. I mean, this film called Battle of Sexes is look quite good, so I thought I'd pop a trailer on so everyone can have a little listen to what. So this is Emma Stone,

new movie Battle of the Sexes. Trailer's out now. Hello? Eureka, Billie Jean. It's Bobby Riggs. I had a great idea. Male sovereign as pig versus hairy-like feminist.

You're still a feminist, right? I'm a tennis player who happens to be a woman. Don't hang up. By the way, I shaved my legs. Billy Jean King, already a champion of women's rights, is now the most successful female player of all time. I am not saying that women don't belong on the court. Who would pick up the balls otherwise?

Oh my God. Paul Bobby. Tell me, telling you. Don't get me wrong. I love women in the bedroom and in the kitchen. Keep talking, Bobby. More nonsense you spell, the worst is going to be when you lose. I'm going to be the best.

That way I can really change things. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to put the show back in show for this. Bobby's a clown. This whole thing is an act for him. 40 million people are watching. The battle you've all been waiting this day. I'm going to talk about. Let's play.

The battle of the sexes. I put the show back in show business. That sounds good. Good. Yeah. Right, right. What else have I got there? Ah, right.

Did you see the movie Creed that came out a couple years ago? No, do you know what? I haven't. It was actually very, very good. Yeah, my fiancé keeps saying, we need to watch it, we need to watch it. I think he's seen it twice, but. I'm like the little casual drop that you've got a fiancé. Do I mention the fiancé?

My fiancé. I still can't get, I've been engaged now for like, ever. And I still can't. 20 years. 24 years. and yeah I still cringe myself out using that word I know it's quite a hard thing you've got a slightly step over it

My fiance My fiance I didn't realize there was two versions of it There's a girl version and the boy version No I did not know that Yeah so if you're a girl it's a fiancé Which is two E's yeah And if it's a guy it's just the oney

I didn't know that So how do you say that? Oh but you say it both the same Fiancé Fiance I guess so This is my fiance My fiance sounds more French that way isn't it?

I don't know. If anyone knows that what's the technical, is there a difference in pronunciation, fiancé, fiancé, let us know. It's that kind of Friday. So Creed, yes, that's where we were. So Creed, too, is coming back, including Michael B. Jordan,

who played the Creed guy, the main guy, who was absolutely gorgeous. So I'm super happy that he's back. And apparently, Sylvester Sloan has dropped on, he dropped on Twitter or Instagram, he dropped a picture of the possible Creed 2. I think they kind of

like Photoshop something together of the possible storyline. But basically it's going to be Creed Jr. is going to be ending up fighting the guy who killed his dad in the original Rocky movie. So it's going to be all like epic showdown with personal parent issues

and stuff. So I'm kind of excited about Creed 2. That would be amazing. And the Fantastic Beast sequels have begun filming finally. And the rumor mill is saying that there's going to be a lot of surprising nods to the original Harry Potter. So there's going to be more Harry Potter references than there was in the other one.

Oh, lovely. We love Harry Potter. We do love Harry Potter. We do love Harry Potter. And the next film is going to be moving to, like, it's going to be set in London and Paris, which I'm really excited about. So they're going back more to Europe, which I think was one of the things that I felt was a bit missing from the Fantastic Beast because it was over the pond. Yeah. It just lost.

Harry Potter's not over the pond. Harry Potter's English. Yeah, you know. It's English. It's us, darn it. Yeah, so I think that it's coming back to film in London, and I think that's going to make it a lot more. It's going to have that quaint Britain.

But that's what the Americans liked as well. They love the fact that it was in England. And we love the fact that it was England. So they've listened to us. They may proceed in making that movie. And I'm just going to end for now on this bit of a viral phenomenon that happened this week. did you hear about the bullied birthday boy called Ollie?

Oh yes I did! Yeah so on Twitter there's a little boy called Ollie who was turning nine this week and his mum tweeted, does anybody know anyone sort of famous who could say happy birthday to Ollie because he's having a really bad time with bullies and particularly bullies that are sort of really having to go at him

for the fact that he doesn't really have anything or he doesn't know anyone and that kind of thing. So it would be really amazing if someone... So what happened was somehow this got pissed picked up on some sort of the way that this does in the internet and uh stormsy ended up retweeting and tweeting back to him to say happy birthday so many celebrities did who else was it um i think even the gladiator guy got in touch russell crawd yeah there was so many celebs jumped on which was just amazing so this little boy got happy birthday from like all of twitter basically and um i think that's

that was amazing because so much of the internet is spreading like so much crap and so much hate It's so much like, oh. Do you know, it's really heartwarming, isn't it? And I think it's really good to show, obviously he's nine. Do you know what I mean? And the amount of, like, crap that goes on, like people use it as a platform too bully now, don't they? Yeah, being online and stuff.

So to see something really positive come from it, I think it's so cool. And the fact that they were saying happy birth, oh yeah, like Zoella and her boyfriend sent video messages in. There was tons. There's the presenters on this morning. All like the CBB's presenters and stuff as well, like, that he watches. I think it's so cute. I think Stormsy was probably a bit cooler than the CBB.

presentness. Probably got a bit more street-cared. Yeah. But that was amazing that they all sort of stood up in the fact that I think what's it? That's actually the Stormsy said.

He said like, don't pay any attention to the bullies. They all end up being the biggest waste man later on. Yeah, yeah. Like, not only did today happy birthday, he also insulted your bullies directly.

Boom. Yeah. Brilliant. Right. Let's get back on track with a little bit of music because I'm feeling that a little bit more.

Another one from the glow. I think we've got to go for another one for the glow. Yeah. This is you make me feel Wesse Vesta and I think you cannot not dance to this song so it's going to be possible so I'm going to get stretching

out. Limbur up let's limber up because this is you make me feel and chill with Janada James on Fubar radio we're back it's time for our first guest I think we've got our first guest

in the studio so a huge round of applause welcome to Maddie Hello welcome girl and we just had a little bit of a mini reunion in the green room because we already know each other. We already know each other.

We played pool for a thing and then we did some sex that got a pool table. No, that sounds wrong. We did. We lay over a pool table. Yeah, we got very sexual on a pool table. It sounds very nice. For a sketch, guys. For a sketch.

Basically, anything goes if you just say it's for a sketch. Yeah. We're just filming a sketch? I shot someone to do, but it was fine. I'm sure they were a sketch. It was for a sketch.

I mean actually this week I did have a little experience of that I dressed up as an old woman Oh my yes Is a Zimmer frame And in the sketch I'm supposed to Like the guy comes over And I go like oh piss off

And they end up getting Going to fight with someone basically And we were trying to film out on the street And every time I fell over On the Zimmer Frame Everyone would come running There was heroes from everywhere I was quite impressed they actually thought

I was an old woman Yeah And then more that there's heroes Because where are they? Exactly I was like, if I just fell over in the street, people would just laugh. Exactly. Exactly.

And we know, yeah, exactly. We know. So now it's catcalling, but don't worry. Get through the catcalling because when we're old, people will help us when we fall on our ass. Exactly. Can you imagine, though, that if you are a hot old lady, you're going to get a mix of both? Oh, yeah. They're going to be like, oh, I'll help your dick.

Oh, look at you. Cougar. Steady hips. So Maddie, you are an actress in your own right. Actress, comedian? Yeah. I think is, I'm more, yeah, character comedian, let's go. I trains as an actress, but hey, look, you've got to focus on one thing.

Look what's happened. Yeah. And so you have a brownie show, which is, it's going to add a run. I think he said a brownie show. I was like, that's great. It's all about brownie. Oh, my God. All you've been kind of brown.

It's not a brand new show that is going to be, except the underbelly. Yeah. Right. I got forwarded. I did actually see that this was on, and I text my other friend and was like, come, go and see this. I think that's really amazing. Yeah, good.

Are you going to be good. I think, yeah, it's my first time there. I'm normally gilded, so I just wanted to do, I basically I'm 30 at the end of the year, and I was like, I need to not give any fucks. I can swear on for you. Yeah. I've been doing so much normal radio that I'm like,

I'm going to give any dark tooths about that. But yeah, no, so I thought, well, this is the year that I'm 30, so this is going to be the year that I have to, like, write the show that I want to write and just not listen to anybody and just do it. So I did. So I did it in December and then in February I did Lester Comedy Festival and it was like the first proper run of it I'd had and as I was on stage I was like that what the like there are so. There's a bit I do where I do like an inner child and I was like, wow shit this is coming

up like how's it going to go? And like there's a whole bit about how we like, you know basically I play my own inner child because I found out about four or five years ago I can do a really good. voice of a five-year-old child. How did you find that out? I don't want to get into that. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. It was for a sketch, okay? It was for a sketch. Oh, my God. Yeah, so then I was like, you know, doing less comedy festival and I was like, this is going to, like, not sure how this is going to go down. Because you were writing for like up to six months by yourself in a room. And you go a bit crazy.

You know, it's an hour show. You're like, I know what I'm doing. So then, but then I got nominated best new show at Leicester. So I was like, great, okay, so I'm on to a good thing. So I've been previewing it since, ever since then, really. So I'm kind of, like, my big one next weekend is I'm playing main stage Lattitude Festival for the first time. Oh, how's that actually? Wow.

Yeah, so I'm going to, I said to myself when that got booked that I'd have a finished show by Lattitude. So I got a week. It's all right. Never, never too late. How do you in, like, a one-woman hour show? because that would like terrify me to go and be on my own.

No, you wouldn't. No, I mean, the thing is, I, like, sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. Like, some, I mean, because I just did a show in Brighton Comedia and I was doing a double bill with Sleeping Trees.

I use a sketch group, sketch, sketch, and the guy was like, yeah, we kind of, like, we don't really know it, but it's fine because, you know, if I'm feeling a bit tired, then he can do it,

and, like, you know, they can kind of share the thing. And I was like, that is it. When you get to, like, the third week of vitamin, that you're like on stage being like oh my god

but then having said that I'm a bit of like a I'm a bit OCD when it comes to like organization and like getting things done and so I kind of feel like when I'm doing one woman at least I know that I'm going to be there for her so like 98% of the time yeah yeah I get that

yeah because you have the control of it yeah I think actually that's one thing because I've gone from actor to kind of online comedian where I make on my own sketches and whatnot and now I've got so used to writing, filming, directing, shooting, editing everything that to then hand that back to someone would be really weird because I feel like

I'm just a control monster now. Yeah, you do and the thing is like, of course, when you get when we, you know, gets that point of having our own sitcom. Of course, like share and share alike, you know, fine, but I think up to that point and you do, like, I've done a few bits

and pieces for TV and when you're writing those, I remember the first one I did and they Like, yeah, yeah, that's cool. So we've just got a team of writers. So just kind of hand it over. And then, you know, they'll get back to you. And I was like, sorry. No, no, I can go in there.

And they're like, no, no, it's cool. You don't need to. Yeah. And I was like, no, but I want to. That's my baby. Yeah. Do you know, things are changing, I think. Especially sort of with online presence and stuff as well.

Like, I'm a trained doctor as well. Hello, guys. But, like, I think you make your own work. Do you know what I mean? I think that's like there's a new way into sort of the industry now, isn't I think it's always been there but it's just now more than ever with like YouTube and all that kind of stuff. Exactly. You kind of

like this is why I started a production company like three months ago and this is why I did it because I you know I do characters and I kind of was ashamed actually the amount of people that were like oh cool so like can we see your character stuff and you know I just didn't have like an online presence and just in terms of like full sketches

or just little bits you know it's kind of stuff you do and working with comedians and I was like if there's a platform for existing and upcoming comedians to work together and create new work and film it and get it out there and pitch it for TV, then I'm going to do it. But I was like, actually, I haven't got any money. So I was like, oh, I need to get some money. So then I've got to do this incredible guy who invested, who is now my business partner, who I was just really, really lucky to find. And so we work together.

He does the business side, which is great because I'm shit at taxes. Yeah. And then I get to the creative stuff. You know, it's still terrifying because you're like, I'm going, I don't want it to get to after Edinburgh and then, you know, the money be run out and then me, that's the end of the company. Like, you know, you've got to keep pushing stuff out and like getting, because where's the money?

Well, it's commissions, really. Yeah. Like, until you get to your point of, like, you know, YouTube stardom, you can't, there's not money for like little odd sketches and stuff. You know, you've got to keep putting it out of there. And what is the, oh, it's called herself. Okay. And as a little bit of a synopsis, for people thinking, okay, like this on this,

where I'm going to go down to other belly, what's it about? Okay, so, my, the thinking behind it was that we're, okay, I want to talk for us as women, we're mental, and when we, yeah, they're both like Anna. Yeah, yeah, continue. So when you're in different situations, right, you interact with people in different ways.

Like, when you're with your boyfriend, you'll speak to one way, like you wouldn't use that same way to speak to your mom and dad, like you wouldn't like can you imagine but you know there's like all these different

and so I kind of came up with this idea that behind every successful woman is herself so it's about every single woman that like lives inside of us so there's I plays multiple personality disorder it's totally that so I play 16 characters

so I play 15 women and one man and there's a little twist at the end which obviously I won't tell you but you find out that well something at the end so it's like there's a nice like big link to you know

for all of the characters that kind of tie together. So it's my way of basically going, what is the way for me to have a platform to do as many characters as I want and do them in little sketches and, you know, have little vignettes, like some of them are 15 seconds and some of them are five minutes and back to back and have it almost in a way that's like, you know, Orange is the New Black. I love Orange is the New Black

because there's just the writing in it is incredible. Yeah, it's amazing. Like in one episode, you've got, you know, 15. story arcs of characters and I just love that so I was like you know I've got an hour here I could conceivably have story arcs in there of characters as well going from beginning to end

so that's what it is it's just a kind of crazy super surreal like like an onion yeah it is I am like an onion thank you I didn't say that because I knew you were going to finish that sentence did you that was weird I set it up for you I'll take it take it

think working if you like orange the New Black, or if anyone listening likes the Orange, the makers of that show have made Glow, which is the new Netflix thing. And it is like, again, that same thing. It's all 14 women who, like, all wannabe actresses who sign up for this

new wrestling women's TV show, and they have no idea how to wrestle or act, really. And it's absolutely, so it's funny, but brilliant, and it's kind of Orange's the New Black esk in that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's my favorite thing at the moment. Yeah. At all. I've got it lined up, but I can't. I think is I'm just worried if I start that, then I'm not

going to stop. It's like orange and new black I did that, I binged that new series in two days and I didn't do any work. So I can't start that yet. I can do it in Edinburgh may, maybe. Yeah, yeah, and there are only 25 minutes per episode, so you can... Oh, yeah. You can just... Did you snip it? Yeah, little snippet. Yeah, it's like a little snap, basically. My last Edinburgh

I was all about, um, stranger things. So when's that? Oh, that must be coming back soon. That must be coming back soon. Because that was then a year. I want to say October. But I don't know. It's been a year. It has been a year. It has been a year. It has because I was watching it in August. Yeah, it's been over a year. It is back soon. She's got really curly hair. 11.

What? She's growing her hair? She's going to have to shave it. No, no, no, it's curly. They've done the pictures. I think they've stopped having to have her head shaved. Because the poor actress is going to have to have a head shave for like the next five years. I mean, no, not the poor actress. No, look at the career.

I do not feel sorry to that. I like her bald. Yeah, man. She lived amazing. I blocked it. Her and Natalie Portman, I've seen literally her as a child. But I've seen them with their head shaved. And for a second, I've gone, should I?

I think, well, shave your own head? Yeah, it's tempted me and then I've gone, no, Johanna,

you do not look like Natalie Polman. I've got a really big head as well. I don't think, I don't think I'd look like an alien or something. Oh, the Strangers thing

season two will arrive Halloween. Ah, yes, I thought I did it. No, that's annoying. Oh. We know summer.

We want summer. Yeah, but it is obvious. Fuck you, Stranger thing. Ofs, obviously the best time is Halloween.

I didn't mean it. Please come about. I love you. Okay. It might be really scary. Right, we're going to pop to a little bit of music, and then we can come back and continue chit-chatting about, you know, comedy and fanies and all of that.

All right, okay. Let's go for a bit Bon Jovi. This is also from Glow. I'm going for all the soundtrack of this series because it's brilliant. We'll be back on Back Rwryantio. The song hasn't quite started yet, so we're going to keep talking. So as I took my headphones off, I was ready. This is like the most incredible intro to Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer that I've ever heard.

We can start that out. Oh, here we go. Here it is. There it is. Let's do a little bit of flexing. A little bit of dancing. It's coming in. Here we go.

There we go. Right, is it actually 1984 in the studio today? You would think by my music choices. Right, we are still talking to Maddie Anhalt, who has got a brand new show called Herself at the Uderbelly Festival, which is South Bank, right? No, Edinburgh Fringe Underbelly. Oh, that's why.

But it's also Sometimes on the South Bank The Underbelly is Yeah So the underbell is the underbelly So there's It's confusing That's why

Yes So there is one So there is one on the South Bank Correct But then it goes up to Edinburgh Which is kind of Same but different Same but different

It's not alright So you've got to be That end of the country Oh I was organising with my friend We would have been turning up Down on the South Bank Like where is it Because I was wondering

That's why I was like Oh you're going to Edinburgh then I was like No No Oh, mate, so if you want to, though, you're going to be on from the third to the 27th of August. Yeah, that's correct. Tell me about it, babe.

Yeah, every day. Is that just one show a day or is that you do in a few? I am doing, so, yeah, it's one main show a day, which is at the Clover Underbelly at 1.30, that's my main show. And then after that, we're doing, like, various, lots of different pieces. So we're doing some radio there. We're doing filming. We're going to do, like, one big mega event that we haven't quite finished planning yet, but it's going to happen. at the very end.

So there's basically like running stuff every single day. Amazing. Wow. So it's one of those ones that you go like I just need to just like because normally I take everyone takes the 15th off. But it makes no difference.

Like you're so screwed anyway. You might as well just keep working. Like it's one of those. Like it's actually worse if you stop. You run on adrenaline. Yeah. Yeah. Because then you just get hammered on the like the night before

and you're like yeah, well, day off tomorrow. And then you take that whole day just to sleep and then you feel even worse. Yeah. So I'm like, screw this. I'm just going to work. I was going to, I did say about two months ago, I was going to do a dry August, but, well, I mean,

I make no promises. But certainly it's going to be like a full-on. And then as soon as I get back, I'm going to Turkey. I'm done. Do you know who you remind me of? There's a comedian called Louisa O'Meil. Oh, God. Yes. Why is she like a rival?

No. No, it's fine. But she smashed Edinburgh. She did. and she smashed Edinburgh with her show what would Beyonce do. Yeah. And that,

it was recently on the BBC. I think it might still be an eye player, but that show really revolutionized like my thinking of comedy and really made me go, I want to get up on stage and do stand-up. Yeah. Yeah, that was amazing.

So if you had those comparisons before? Yeah, once. No, but it is, I mean, the thing is what I, because I got into this, like, a argument once that I did a little thing for Guardian and they were like, something, something, something, stand-up comedian Madian,

and I was like, well, whatever. And it was quite a few years ago. And I got the amount of abuse I got of stand-ups being like, you're a fucking stand-up comedian, you're at this and like shooting them. And I was like, whoa, there is actually a real thing within the world of comedy. Because I am not a stand-up comedian. Yeah, yeah.

Like I, you know, and people don't. But what does it matter? Like, it's comedy. Yeah, so I do. Yeah. And you are standing up. Exactly. Well, I mean, this is my point.

So I do characters. so I do like, I do like character comedy. And so anyway, since then I've just been like, do I really have to be super conscientious about going, I'm not a stand-up? Like I did another interview the other day, and I was like, do I have to take out the word stand-up? Like, it's ridiculous.

Yeah. But then again, I'm not. Like, I'm not, like, I don't go and gig every single night. Like, I don't, you know, to go and do like a 20-pound gig in Aberdeen. Like, I don't do that just because I also I can't, because I need to hide behind something. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think that's where Louisa kind of bridged the gap because she does her stand-up in a character. Yeah. So she's slightly on both. So she's like if one of your characters did an entire show in the one. Exactly.

So that's where I really liked. And also I liked her jokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the thing is I was thinking, then when I was initially writing the show, like my sort of main character that I do is Shazat, aka Shaharazade, is my Persian princess, Persian-Penge princess.

And I was going to do a whole show of her for an hour, And then I was like, if Edinburgh is A so freaking expensive, and like if I'm really, because I wasn't going to do Edinburgh again this year. And then I was like, if I get sponsored, then I'll do it. And then I got sponsored. And I was like, shit. Now I got to do it. Can't want to do it. So then I got sponsored by Moneybox, which is an amazing app.

And then I was like, okay, so now I've got this, like, show. But then I might as well just use it as a bit of a showcase. And I might as well just do all of my characters rather than just doing one. For sure. So just watch. I'm going to tweet you. watch, wait for the reviewer that goes, well, this is just a showcase, watch

because it will happen. And I'm like, what do you expect? Like, what else? Sorry, I was just showcasing my stand-up mic drop. Yeah. That'll piss them off. Oh, wait, that was pretty. Well, I think for the last couple minutes, I want to be, you can be my virgin

interviewee on this new concept here on back pro and chill, which is like the mystery draw of random questions. So I'm going to just pop open this little jar here. Are you engaged? No. Oh no.

Do you know what? I bought my... No, well, I've got rings on both. Okay. I bought myself a vintage ring off eBay because fuck it, I marry myself. Go on, girl, palo. Literally. I was like, well, I really want a nice pretty ring.

I'm not going to wait for a guy to buy it for me. That's nice. Buy it for myself, babe. 40 quid. It's lovely. Right, here we go. I'm wrestling around here. Okay.

I literally have not writ these myself. Rittlies? I'm not Rittneys. I really. I really. I'm just going to pull one out. And here we go. Can I get like two passes

And one pass at least? Come on What is the most useless talent You have? Oh my God Oh I know what it is But it's really bad for radio But it's really bad for radio but worse Oh my God Okay

So I can be Sally Phillips Okay Do you know Sally Phillips from Bridgeto's diary Yes Okay ready Okay it doesn't work on radio But worse So she's like

Okay Kafka Oh my God I see it Kafka Fuck them bridge Like fuck them all Okay It's Sally Phillips. Yeah.

I love her. I don't think that's useless at all. Thanks. Because I love her. I love her. She's brilliant. Yeah. What is your most useless talent, Sophie?

Oh. I'm... My most useless talent. Oh, I can kick my head with my legs. I get my legs around my neck. Oh, wait. Kick your... Yeah, I have to lie on the floor.

Oh, no. Okay, don't know. Okay. But we'll trust you, you can do it. But yeah, I mean, yeah, and it's not, there was one time it was, it was like a really bad thing that happened. I remember I was hanging off my friend at school and she was walking and like, I was hanging off a shoulder on the back and like being dragged along, if you will.

And she fell back and she fell back on me and I just went in half and she winded me. I thought I was dead. I thought I was dead. So now then you've realized since that point you can do it. Oh, no, I've always been able to do it. But I mean, my scores of I hadn't been able to do it. I might have broken my back. No, I just realized you're hyper mobile

Like me, like you, like you, too. So that's probably why you survived that. I thought that, if you, you should say, though, that's the story. That's how you, it's like kind of like a Spider-Man thing. Yeah, yeah. You fell on your back and ever since then you could fold in half backwards. That's brilliant. That's a story.

That's cool that, isn't it? Mine is so lame, but I realised today that my talent in life, my useless talent in life, is I have a talent that all my necklaces will rotate so that the back clasp is on the front at all times. My chocords do it, even. Do what? In all photos or videos or whatever, I've got the back little shitty class bit

at all times. No matter how many times I move it round, I'll look back in the mirror, and my neck just rotates my neck. So one day, when you're super rich and famous, like next week, you'll get, you can employ somebody to be like a class paternal. Exactly, and they can just turn my neck is around at all times.

Maybe you can get like a magnet implanted into your chest. All that. All that. I mean, that's, yeah. Did you see that thing? There's a story going around at the moment about a hamster. Oh my god Oh no sorry it just reminded me

I just have to tell you about it real quick So yeah this girl Her hamster had been like sat by the side of his cage For like three days Hadn't been eating drinking and this stuff So she took it to the vet And it sounds like I'm warming up for a joke doesn't it? She took it to a vet

He took it out And it was fine he was walking around He was great and vet was like there's nothing wrong Like what would he been doing before you know He got ill and she was like oh well he got out And he was under the fridge He was like oh I looked inside his mouth There was a magnet inside the hamster's mouth.

It stored it in its cheek. It got magnetized on the side of the cage for three days. Oh, my God. You poor little thing. Oh, no. Bless him. I know. Can imagine you always check inside your hamster's mouth.

Yeah. Check for magnets. And your children's mouth. Children and hamster's just always open up and have a scoop. You never know what's going to go on there. Thank you so much, Maddie, for coming on. Thank you. And all the best of luck for herself.

All 16 of you? Yes. Yep. Yep. That looks absolutely amazing and we will tweet. We'll tweet about it. We'll make sure you tweet you out. But brilliant, right.

Music-wise, oh, I think I'm going to go, oh, that's a little look. What we're doing? What am I looking for? Let's go head over heels, tears for fears because, you know, like, why not? And chill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio. I always get so excited when I managed to do the, like, music to audio clip transfer correctly. It's a beautiful transition. I done that well.

Right, we are moving on to our second guest, so a huge welcome to David William Bryan. Hello. Welcome to the studio back row and chill. Thanks for having me. We are going to be chit-chatting about your show because you're also going to be Edinburgh. It is the time of the fringe. It is. Everyone's disappearing up there for all this.

La Frans. You literally took the words out of my mouth. Damn it, sorry. I stole that one. But yeah, so your show is called Trashed. It is. Why is it called? Well, a couple of reasons.

It's about a bin man. Okay, that would make good. And he's also an alcoholic. Oh. So it's like the double play. I feel sorry for him on my way to it. Poor guy. It's the double play there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it sort of encompasses everything. That's brilliant. And did you, how did it come about? Oh, so in 2012, I met the writer, Sasha Moore, at a writer's group at the Bush Theatre. Okay.

And because I also write as well. and we kept in touch shared work and then about two years ago she rang me with the idea and then it went back and forth for about two years and we finally finished it and then we did like a work in progress run of it last April and now we're going to the fringe with it. Wow so it's been like quite a long time coming, hasn't it?

Yeah, it's been a very long time coming. It's been good though because we've had time to just like do everything properly. Yeah. Because we knew we were going up to Edinburgh before last Edinburgh. Yeah, okay. So last Edinburgh we went up there and basically did a big

recon mission and just watched everything and did our research. Notepad in hand. Shaky. And so are you excited? Are you ready? Yeah, I'm like half excited, half just terrified. It's a one-man show, right? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Have you done that before? Well, I did the work in progress run of it. So I've done the show like a handful of times. It's scary, but it's very rewarding. Exilarating. Yeah, but it's just so much to organize. It's like you have a to-do list and it just gets longer.

faster than you can do it. I don't think you can be prepared for the fringe. And it says here it's a grimy booze-fueled sucker punch of a play bound to make you laugh until you cry. That's like the best. Yeah, I drink all the way through it. You actually drink all. Oh my gosh, you're going to have such a hangover.

Shipfish Shakespeare. Yeah. They were in last week. Were they? Shitface Shakespeare, yeah. They're a bit lucky though because it's just one of them, isn't it? Whereas I'm doing it every show. So I'm going to be basically drunk for just the

entirety of August. I'm going to drink water tonight instead of vodka. I'm just going to switch them around. Can you not do that? I mean, I could, but I'm cracking cans open, so it's hard to. It makes it better anyway, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah. You sound worried for me.

I'm worried for your liver. Yeah. We're not like the biggest of drinkers. We're not. Do you know what? I had a couple of gins last night, right, thinking I was hardcore. I can't handle, I can't handle drink. It's getting tougher for me as well.

Like I'm 26. Like what's going on? I can't do it. When I was younger I used to get hammered and wake up and be fine and then it got a bit tougher and now it's just horrendous. The end of the show. But the show's in the middle of the day. Oh wow, getting pissed in the middle of the day. And it doesn't really hit you until after you've done it.

Yeah. Because it's all down in drinks for an hour. So when you finish then it kind of hits you. So I reckon I can just like sleep it off in the afternoon. Yeah. You can also do, you could do a cheeky pretence wig. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I definitely cheat it. Like, I don't finish every single can because there's a lot. Before the main monologue. There's a lot of cans going on. Oh my gosh. You must have like a proper budget then for can. Alcohol can. I mean,

they're probably the cheapest thing about taking a show to the fridge. To be fair. Do you know what's really good though? Milk thistle. It's really good for cleansing your liver. Milk thistle. What is that? Yeah,

what is that? I have, no, it's the milk of a thistle. It sounds like something in Norley the Rings. No, you can get it from like, you can get it from all suitable pharmacies and chemists and health shops.

Are you sponsored by milk Fittal? It's a cheesy plug. To cleanse your liver. I think I've heard so forth are in your kidneys and stuff. I'll write it down. Get it down, yeah. Yeah, it sounds like it's from a movie, isn't it?

You need like the feather of the phoenix and the milk fissle. Oil of milk fissile. Don't really like milk or fissile. Can't save you eating a thistle. And so with your rehearsal process, is it you've You and the director? Pretty much. It's just us to producing the whole show and obviously

raising money for Edinburgh is like a nightmare. So we're basically in the park, just doing it in the park because the weather's so nice. It's just me. Getting drunk in the park, basically. Yeah, I don't drink during. There isn't really a director. You're playing it all out meticulously and then get shit-faced and do it.

Yeah. But we just literally get some string and some pegs and mark it out on the floor and that's my stage. and we just get cracking with it. Wow. In true fringe style, yeah. Yeah. And before trashed and sort of,

what, are you thinking much after trashed? At the moment, it's all just about this show. Yeah, I mean, it sort of takes over your life. It's hard to think about what to do after Edinburgh. I mean, we'd love to, like, tour the show, bring, do a proper run in London and things like that. Yeah. At the minute, it's just Edinburgh is so much.

It's quite full on, isn't it? Oh, even no idea. Are you going to go on holiday after it? Yeah, I think I'll just have to lie down for about three months. Yeah. Yeah. And what, what? What is the preview?

That is a lot of what. Where? Remix. Preview. Where did you start with your acting? Did you always know? Oh, no. I went into acting really late.

I did a load of random stuff first. And then at 26, I was like, I'm going to go off and be an actor now. And went off to New York for almost four years. Did it in style? Yeah. I went to drama school there. Right.

And then I came back and started being an actor. What did you do before that? Before. Oh God, all sorts. Were you a bin man? No. Oh, darn. Yeah, just like five years of method.

No. I was a professional rugby player actually first. Oh. And then I went off to uni and got pissed for about four years and got a rubbish third. And then I was in a beatboxing group for a while. And then... As a job? Yeah.

That is so cool. Can you imagine on your car insurance one? What are you? Beatbox then. I mean, it's just been a bit random. My whole life's been a bit random. And then, yeah, just thought I'd give acting a bash that I went off and did a summer course. And then just fell in love with it and then studied for like the whole...

And is theatre your main thing? Or do you like to do more film? I prefer theatre. Like, I like the live thing. Yeah. You know, I like the thrill of the do or die. Especially when it's just you doing a one person. and show. The thing that terrifies me the most is skipping.

Because if you skip, accidentally skip to the end, the show is like five minutes long. That's the only thing that scares me, you know. You'll be fine. I would literally, but don't worry, all you can do then is you can just like do like little rewind and be like, yeah, it probably would become abstract at that point. Yes, I'm like really weird piece where it's like. You start with the end. It isn't linear.

Ooh, what is life? Boom, mic drop out. I feel like no one had noticed in editing for any way. Exactly. Everyone would just be like, great great concept I love it I mean I have shot stuff but it's just you don't

you just if you muck it up you just do it again so it's not much of a thrill yeah no I get that Joe it's a bit slower as well TV and film and stuff isn't it and I think I think each actors like their sort of energy matches a certain medium and I'm always when I'm on camera

they're always like do less do less like bring it down so on stage my life you know whereas some people find it hard to sort of become bigger on stage, you know, so I think this, I just feel more comfortable on stage generally.

I'm, see, I'm stuck, I'm of that party, but I love film. So I keep trying to be on camera and being massive on camera. Yeah. So, whatever. It's fine. But yeah, it's kind of awkward if you're auditioning for like downtown abbey and you're just like, coming into, bursting into the room.

I just try and do nothing basically. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah. It's like that horrible there's like a, there was like a spine line between wooden and completely over the top yeah for me yeah I'm exactly the same and generally

I'm more that side of the spectrum so are you actors then yeah yeah oh okay no hello this is just like uh yeah okay we're actors who and we make uh well we make comedy sketches for like online like a YouTube a Facebooker oh great

I say YouTube even I'm not really on YouTube because that's what people understand what it is but right right people don't really know what you Facebooker is but I have no idea what that is basically we make our own content make our own sketch ideas little mini short scenes films and put them out and there is an audience there and yeah with the goal to get into mainstream right that's what we do I feel like I'm in an interview oh no no this sounds really good at no who's conducting the interview here

we can show our TV maybe we could be your show amazing so if you have just tuned in we're We're talking about trashed, essentially, which is going to be at the Underbelly Festival, not festival, the Underbelly... It's a venue, so it's a venue. A bit like the Underbelly. We're at Cowgate, which is one part of the Underbelly. They are various bits in Edinburgh.

It's at 66 Cowgate, it says here on the PR. Yes. And the show is trashed and it is all about a bin man struggling to deal with the death of his daughter whilst struggling with his thirst for booze. Yep. So it's Keith. It's his real life.

It's a good name, Keith. Yeah, Keith Goody. Goody's his nickname. It's Keith Goodman. Keith Goodman. Goodman. Keith. I can see Keith's being a bin man.

It's set in Yorkshire. It's very working class. Yeah. It's very grimy. Yeah. He's grimy. Everything smells. It's like shameless.

Boo's flying around. Yeah, it's kind of got that sort of raw feel to it. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. I'm loving it. So, guys, check it out. Make sure you go to at Food Bar Radio,

because we're going to be tweeting all about the show as well, so you can go and chase it down. And, Maddie did ask before if you would be up for shout out her show at Edinburgh so she'll shout out yours and you shout out of her because you're going to be performing at the same time

I must have missed her I think she just like ran away didn't she? Yeah I think she but yeah yeah like tweet her and definitely shout out of brilliant yeah love it when everyone collabs together because then you guys can just share your audiences boom boom boom boom boom boom so all the best of luck for Edinburgh thank you so much for having us

that's a right and all the normal problem I'm just having a little look now what we can what we're going to go for. This is called flexing by Roezy. So let's give this a go. It's Back Row and Chill. 24-7, I'll be flexing. Back Row and Chill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio.

Boom, it's gone 5 o'clock. We're into the second half of Back Row and Chill. It's gone quick. Doesn't it? Time flies. When you're having fun. Amazing. We are one, basically.

We are one. We are the same person. I do worry. I think, yeah. we've got our third guest in the studio so a huge welcome to Gabriel Gonzalez

welcome welcome welcome thank you I feel like I need to get like a massive applause button so that it's a little bit more than my it would make me feel better about myself oh sorry we'll about this then we have

Gabriel Gonzalez in the studio is that bit better excellent I can't wait shed it to my mum brilliant brilliant available on IG it genuinely is

after the show. So a huge welcome. We are going to be chit-chatting today about the web series that you have created because it is pretty fucking good. Thank you. So do you want to pitch it?

You say what it's about because you're going to obviously wait a bit of me. Yeah, why not? It's based about the contemporary dating culture of London. We were trying to do an episodic show touching on several

unique and maybe unseen characters and drawing from situations that aren't so typical of that world. And then it all taps into this sort of peculiar fabric and tapestry of what it is to actually date in London and draws in on characters and their dilemmas outside of dating and how that affects them trying to find love, etc. And I feel like we came up with something really sincere and honest on the topic. And it's very, my understanding is it's episodic,

because in each episode sort of follows a... Yeah, it's quite contained. You do bump into or brush into a character from a preceding episode or a preceding episode. So you do see the familiar faces every so often. And, you know, the situations can vary from being quite funny and distressing or embarrassing or awkward, which I think we all find dating too...

Yeah, yeah. So a bit, like, love-actually-esque in the sense that there's like loads of different stories and the characters kind of can cross-contaminate a little bit. Yeah, they operate in the same world. I think the point of doing that was is that because everyone is so, you know, without being, you know, self-centered, everyone is so involved in their own situation.

For sure. And I think to brush into another character in the show is to sort of say, well, we don't really know how much we have realized how much we have in common with the other person. We're not alone. Yeah, exactly. I'd liken it to a show that was on Netflix recently called Easy

It's like a Joe Swamberg show And it was great And when it came out I was like Oh no they've copied our idea But damn it A million times more than ours How dare you Netflix You've defeated me again

But that's a good one to Check out as well If you're into that sort of thing And so how did it come about Because I think it is such a huge achievement nowadays to get any project off the ground and get legs and run with it. So how did you get it

from like, I have an idea to who it is. On to the small screen, yeah. It was, so I'm part of a collective of filmmakers called G59. We're people that met in film and TV industries and advert advertising

when we were sort of in junior positions and some of us are still in junior positions, me myself. And then from then on, that's like, that's five people. So if you think about years of working together and meeting people and meeting like-minded people and coercing them and flirting them into helping you out on a project, you can actually go quite far with what is a skeletal crew and minimal kit. And if you're a bit more daring as well with how you, let's say, access locations. Guerrilla.

I'm all about that. I'm not actually not used to anything but being chucked on a tube and running off it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I shot a feature in London when they got confused with the licensing because there's city of London and then there's like central London and they got the wrong things.

They couldn't, so anyway, we were trying to film and every time the police came we just all run in different directions. Yeah, classic. I've done that a few times. It was a big one. We're filming on an estate. And like literally we got chuked off and we're halfway through a shot

so we had to go on. We had to do a night shoot to re-hoot it on an old abandoned state. There were heroin addicts like coming out. of like the flats and stuff. Hollywood. We had to get security and everything, but, I mean, it ended up being much better

than the one we kept getting choked off, but, well, well done. Scary times. See, like, that's why you need insurance. It's for the art. Yeah. Do it for the ground. But this is, I mean, I haven't seen,

I saw the trailer on Vimeo and I saw like an extended trailer of one of the episodes. Where, if people are like, oh yeah, okay, I'm done for watching this series. Where? Where and how can they? Well, I mean, it's, um,

It's being hosted on Vimeo. You can find links to that on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. We're on all of it for G59 TV. You just type in. We're also on a web series hosting community called Stairable, which is something a bit more specialized in trying to reach out to people who are fans of web series. And I'd recommend if people are looking for short bites of stories

and narratives and series like that, it's a great place to start. But we are pretty widespread. There's five of us constantly plugging it, Okay, so it is available. Are all episodes out? Just the first episode for now. The second episode is out on Tuesday.

Oh, yeah. And that's one where we do, again, very gorilla on the tubes of London and pubs of Camden. It's not quite the estates. We got it done, yeah. And so did you, it says you're the creator.

So did you write? Yeah, I wrote what would eventually become the first series. I did come up with the idea and I said to the crew this would be great I think it fits our voice and what we're trying to say

I feel like we could also get it made quite easily if we tailor the stories in this sense and then we invited a bunch of writers and with the aim of inviting other directors and new actors to sort of expand the network but somehow only my episodes

ended up getting made for the first series so I don't know how I was going to know how that came about Are they based on real life experiences? Oh yeah, is anyone going to see that? They're like, that happened to me. I know him, that happened. Wait a minute.

I went on a date with that guy. Yeah. It's not, like, fortunately, it's not too close to home. I think when writing, it's always good fun to sort of take a departure from your life. It does come from sort of conversations and, you know, chit-chatting with friends and catching up about their experiences. I think there's one episode which you can closely lift. but it didn't end. The one which Ozzy's in, actually,

the first episode, Elias, is like they go on a skate date, where he takes a girl and meets a girl, and he teaches how to skate in the streets of Hampstead. And that was something that happened to me, but it ended quite positively, actually. It was quite a nice experience, whereas Ozzie's or Elias's experience in the episode.

Didn't go way off. Yeah, not a great end to the experience and skate dates. Yeah, did you get hitting the balls as well? No, luckily I'm not as risky as Elias is. It's very much from getting A to B with me on a skateboard. Oh, amazing. Well, I really, and the look of it, I mean, if you did it, I'm not sure what your budget was, but it looks so professional.

Like, you know, when you get kind of like a startup web series, there is an element of your kind of expecting it to be a little bit DIY, but this does not look DIY. Oh, great, thank you. Like, beautifully shot. That means a lot. Thank you. your DIP was like keep employing them.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. We used the host of them and it was a budget of really like sort of less like hundreds. It's like one episode would be for like 50 quid. Wow. What camera did you use? We use a very, like a couple of cameras actually. We use a Sony FS 700 with an external audited recorder which sort of amps up the quality

in that respect for a couple of episodes. We used a 5D, I think, for another. and a Sony AS7 on a tiny little camera, which is quite tricky to tame when you go handheld. But yeah, a variety of cameras and really talented crew. Yeah, wow. I think that this is going to tap in. This particular web series is called All of Them,

if you're just listening in now. So what we're talking about? We're listening about all of them, which is on Vimeo. Vimeo, Facebook. Yeah. It's a web series about the ups and downs and ins and outs of dating in London, which I think is one of the most relatable things. things ever because if you are of a

finding a partner age unless you are someone who is a bit like asexual everybody you have to go through the dating stage if you want to find a partner you got to like try out some people so it's the most relatable thing ever I'd be so terrible dating I am terrible dating how do you like

because I've been with my wife for like four years and they're like the idea of having to find someone like this Tinder thing again oh like the online thing Do people even meet in pubs anymore? Like, what's going on? Well, I, um, and a few years ago,

I came out of a four-year relationship and I was single for the first time. And I was literally like, I don't even know where to start. I do. And I had this, like, solid year of being single. And I actually, um, the experiences that I had were so horrific slash hilarious slash like, I was like, I hate being single.

I need to write this down because this is, This is brilliant. It's a shame it's my life, but it's brilliant. Yeah, and I think that everyone can relate, and that's why it's something that I'm, like, keen to use in more of my own content is my own experiences of, because if you can't, if you can't laugh about it, then what can you do?

But, like, there's a point where I, on dates with, like, people, that I ran, and I was looking for cameras because I thought this is a set up. This can't be real. This can't be real. The one time I ever went, I'll just digress for one in short story, the one time I ever decided to go on a blind, blind date.

So, like, I didn't know the guy from Adam. He approached my Facebook and message me and said, I'd love to take for dinner. I was like, you know what? You don't look like a crazy person, so why not? And then, yeah, met up with him. And, well, I knew the date was going to go badly when I got there and was like, so where are we going? And he was like, I don't know. Where do you want to go?

I was like, you... Always have a plan. Always have a plan. He was like, I'm not from London, so I don't really know anywhere. And I was like, well, I'll show you somewhere then. So then we go And then we're like getting into the dinner And it's one of those people that just

Can't decide anything What do you want? I don't know what you haven't oh my god Oh for God's sake But then Take the reins why don't you I know I was like who's driving

Okay And then he starts to You know midway through sort of A conversation He said oh let's go to Soho Soho might be nice here I had And he went oh no My dad said never go near Soho

I was like why He was like because of the gays And I was like right Okay goodbye Straight away Good night Good night we're dad And then a tranny

And then a tranny walk past at that point and he went and I went I think she looks amazing and then I was like this is not gonna this is not gonna work

but for the fact that I think this might make an amazing blog post slash movie one day I'm gonna like stay so we had some dinner and then through the dinner he braved it wow

yeah because at this point I was like this is a story I was like this is a story this is gonna be like an Oscar as long days but then we were and I nearly spat my wine out

because he he said a racist a racist thing I don't know if I can say it on the radio I think I can anyway he called someone a racist thing and I went

excuse me what and I said you do realize that he started talking about how he didn't like people from Middle East and I said wow and he goes

but I do like the film Four Lions though that's what he said and I was like wait wait forgiven I was like you do understand that Indian people

and Middle East and people are two completely different races because you just used a racial slur for one and then referred to the other I don't think. And then he went, no, no, no, we're going to have an argument here.

They're the same. I was like, oh, okay. Can I have a lot of. And then, so I literally, I ducked out. I was like, good night to you, sir. So he was homophobic, racist and didn't have like any kind of. And was a pansy. What, a complete pansy.

Yeah. He could not have gone worse. Plus, he was not six foot, like his profile said. I'm just saying. Oh, I was at least four inches sort of one than that. So, well. Sorry, you went through that. But great story.

been on a blind date? Not a blind date, but going back to the tall thing, one thing, the first thing I said to sort of, and persons was meeting for the first time when I met them was, I'm sorry, I'm not taller, because she was taller than me.

She found that endearing, but, I don't mind if I've gone out of people who were short with me. It wasn't like I was lying about my height. It was just like a realisation that neither of us fought to check. Well, I'm 5'4, so if they're shorter than me, it'd be like, you'd be like, you can be taller than that.

How old are you? Saying that, I went on a, blind date. Well, it wasn't blind. I'd met him the night before, but I was wasted. And then I ended up going on a date with him the next day because I was single. And I got there. Didn't remember what he looked like, which is really awful. Don't do that, children. And we got there. He had planned everything out and he was like, kidded out in a suit. And I was like, I don't remember you looking like this. I was in my 20s. He was 60. Oh, my word.

I left. I was like, oh my God. Yeah, I did that thing where I pretended somebody had rang. And you're like, they're doing the movies. And you don't think it's something happen and it doesn't happen but I was like oh I'm really sorry I've got to go I'm going to go my kitten needs to be told about I'm sorry come back oh my goodness well anyway so the point is is that dating is one of the most relatable horrific heart wrenching funny things that we all have to do and we all have to also dip back into it we never know when we're gonna because we're in a relationship and you never know quite when that's gonna maybe end or not oh my god be prepared yeah Exactly.

So I would never say, be like, dating games far behind me because you might one day find that you've got to do it again. So all of them. Very positive message there. You have a relationship, but for how long you never know. Realism.

If you watch the show, it might make you think twice about not being in a relationship. I can't be bothered with this. This is crazy, the madness going on. But all of them, which is on Vimeo, first episode up, it was amazing.

I really don't watch anything on, like, terrestrial TV. No, I don't think many people do. It's dying a death. It is dying a death. To be fair. It is. There was a thing saying that subscription things like Netflix and Amazon, they are going to be taking in, by the year 2020, they'll be taking in more

revenue than the film industry. Yeah. I can imagine. It's all going online, baby. So, you know, that's where you've got to put your eggs. I'm putting my eggs. Put them all online. Jokes on me. What if the internet just like becomes extinct in five years?

Let us know what was good. Or what was really shit as well, because I don't want to go and spend my money seeing something that's awful or, you know, or maybe there's something like hidden amongst the whole interface of Netflix that I haven't found yet. Because, you know, it tends to be the same stuff that just comes up,

but there's actually thousands and thousands of titles. Right. And do you know what? Trying to find something to watch on Netflix is a really tricky situation. It's overwhelming, isn't it? There's too much choice. Yeah. So it's like, I'm sat there.

I'm just, oh, you decide, I don't know. And then it'll put some time on like, no, I don't want to watch this. I'm not on the mood for this. I know what I don't want to watch. Yeah. But I don't know what I do want to watch. Totally. Totally.

So we spent about half an hour trying to find something, and then we're like, oh, shoot, just got bad. It's got bed. You just, good night. YouTube, YouTube it. All right, YouTube. It's quicker. Yeah, exonctly.

We've also got, I've got some, I've been doing my research. I like to go away and be a bit nerdy, and I like to go and find my movie trivia of the week. So let's go get Lucy Patterson, and then we'll come back and have a bit of movie trivia slash film review time. This is back, Row and Chill. Food Bar Radio presents.

Access all areas. We have, I would go so far as to say Love Island royalty on the phone now. Callie Jane Beach. And what did you feel of the Zara Holland situation when she got her crowned off? There was a lot that went on behind the scene what people didn't know about. And she knew that if that was to happen, she would have been due crowned.

And this was all in discussion before Zara went in. She knew what was going to happen if she did. But do you feel that sometimes emotions get carried away and you have a drink? Yeah, I suppose a tiny bit, but you don't get much alcohol to get pissed in there. Let's be honest. And they look like a bloody porn set when you're walking. every Thursday access all areas

from 6pm Foo bar radio boom you are listening to Fubar Radio but you're listening to Backrow and Chill at the moment and Lucy Patterson has arrived oh bang on time yeah bang on time brilliant we're going to be doing a little bit of film reviews and chit chat about that

so yeah get involved people as I said tweet us if you want to get involved what have people been seen this week and one of they, thought about it. Well, as I know what you've seen this week, so I didn't bother going to see that. Okay. So I thought, okay, find something that's not massively huge

and everyone's made a big deal about. It came out today. It's called It Comes at Night. It's like a horror, thriller, mystery. Yeah, it's got Joel Edgerton in it, and Riley Keough. And it's basically, what I thought of it when it finished, was like, that was the Walking Dead without zombies.

It's that sort of thing. It's like a post-apocalyptic, which I know you quite like, don't you? I think you could handle this one. It's not like go people's heads being chopped off and all that shit. Okay, I can't do that. It's a real mystery and it's a real, it's a slow burner. Okay.

And the end sort of had me a bit, like, I wish you could see my face. It was literally like, what was that? But it was, like, imagine that noise, like the face that goes with that. But yeah, I really liked it. The performances were amazing. Okay. And it didn't really go down the route you think it's going. to go. Joel Edgerton and his family

are survivors of this, whatever's happening. I don't think they really know. It's only based in their house and in the woods around it. And it's him, his son and his wife. Someone breaks into the house. It turns out it's a younger man and he's got his wife and his child sort of 50 miles away

and he's trying to find food for them. And Joel Edgerton out of the goodness of his heart, after he gives him a really hard time, takes them into his home and says, okay, let's all survive together. And it just turns to shit. But not in the way you think it would and I think that was genius you know like I said it is a slow burner but

if you like a mystery and you like a real thinker and it will make you jump a lot and I was all on my own actually this morning and then just as it started someone else walked here and I was like thank fuck for that I was about to leave but yeah go and see it if you like that sort of thing

if you like being scared just a little bit without being grossed out that it comes at night it comes at night oh gosh when I saw paranormal activity I was at uni I had to get me we are, we all stay in the same room. Yeah. For all of you,

it's like, for all of you need. For every and ever, ever, I'm in. It's like that in the sense that, I don't know about you, but with paranormal activity, I was watching it kind of, this is really boring. And then when she gets dragged off of that bed by her feet,

Duh! Game changer. And it's actually making, you know, it's that sort of thing. All of a sudden, it's just like, shit. Yeah. Oh, no, I didn't, I didn't even approach. I saw, um,

I'm getting really frightened. I know. I saw Cungering 2 by accident. Oh, Johanna. It was a complete accident that I saw that. That's a bad accident because that is the one film that scares the shit out of me. And not a lot scares me. I saw The Cundering 2.

It was a prank played on me by the Wall of Comedy Boys. I remember you saying that. Bastards. Yeah, I thought I was going to see Suicide Squad. And I was already locked in the cinema. And they played Cundering 2. They're so cruel. That is nasty.

The footage is really funny, though. It's me basically making sick noises and doing like ninja movies. Like, no. It's all right. And it ended up weirdly being like a weird sort of first date with my boyfriend. Oh, brilliant. But whatever. I like her.

I was just going to say that. I like her moves. I like this. I like this one. I'll have that. He digged it. It was mine. But what did I see this week?

So, I went to, oh, I know, I've been checking out a lot on Netflix. Have you? Because there's a big huge influx. Netflix stuff that's popped up, including The Circle, which is Tom Hanks and Emma Watson, and I didn't know it was Netflix. I thought it was going to be a cinema, really, so I was waiting for it for the cinema,

and it suddenly popped up on my Netflix, and I went, oh, okay. And I really wanted to like it. The trailer was like, it's kind of parodying, I think, Apple and Google. So it's basically this huge company called The Circle. where basically, and that's where they're

parodying like a kind of Apple, Google thing. And Emma Watson gets a job in the sort of customer services, so she's low level. But she joins the circle, and it's about how it's all seems super, super rosy, but it's more corrupt, the more layered you go in there. And, yeah, so that was

it wasn't really as good as, which is, yeah. Maybe why, you know, I know Netflix originals don't really go down the cinema route, but maybe that's why. I was wondering whether it was a cinema one that kind of didn't take off and then Netflix took it. Because it... Straight to DVD.

It was on Apple trailers ages ago. So it made me think it was a cinema release because I've never seen an Apple trailer for a Netflix original. So I thought maybe there was some sort of deal cut. Maybe. Because it didn't get a distribution. But my problem was Emma Watson's American accent. Yep. I knew you were going to say that.

I was waiting for it. Yeah. And which I was trying not to be bothered about it. But then even my boyfriend went, God, that's awful, isn't it? It gets under your skin, things like that, didn't it? He was like, kind of can't take anymore. And I was like, okay.

Tom Hanks was brilliant. He played the kind of like, yeah. Isn't he just lovely? He played like the Steve Jobs type guy, which was just brilliant. And the concept of the movie was freakishly close to home, especially you saw someone who works in social media.

So the idea of the film is that there is these new cameras that you can get, which you can just kind of clip on. And it makes cameras have got better and smaller and whatever, and it links up to your circle account which links everything, all of your, everything in your life is then in one place.

But it gets scary, like even like you're registering to vote or even your everything, your bills, your medical, everything goes in just one social media account, the circle. And you can wear these cameras and it's called going transparent

where basically you vlog 24 hours a day to show, but basically they were saying crime rates will go down because if you're always being watched, you're always aware. 24 hours a day? Yeah. So like on the toilet and stuff like that?

Well you get three minutes. In the bedroom. Wait, just having to poo. You get three minutes bathroom privacy where it will go out for three minutes. What about you know? Yeah. I think actually you can switch it off when you're asleep.

But there is a scene, there is a thing where they deal with the whole sort of like having sex issue. And it made me think, and so Emma Watson becomes this kind of like global superstar because she's like vlogging every day and she's transparent and she wakes up and she got millions and billions of followers and stuff and and and it's kind of how she gets she starts off as a bit of a rookie and ends up being a little bit taken in I don't see that she has the the personality this is terrible I don't see that she has the personality to be able to play a character like that no she and I feel like she well no exactly exactly I feel like she's just riding on her name

now oh for sure like It's such a shame. What was really annoying was like the role is actually amazing and the story arc would have been really good. For somebody else. But she didn't really, yeah, she didn't really change or go, it was just Emma Watson.

She doesn't. She's so monotone and boring. It was Emma Watson the whole time. Yeah. And I was like, this is, you know, as a storyline you've got like, girl entering a company, being really awkward,

being the awkward loner girl. There was a lot of scope for it. Yeah, and then she ends up becoming the superstar and like it's kind of, yeah, there's kind of, there was so much to play with and yet again, she didn't play with anything. She'll probably get an award for it now.

You didn't enjoy Beauty and the Beast then to do. I did enjoy Beauty and the Beast. I just didn't enjoy it. The auto tune. My problem, my first problem was when she ran up that hill and she was going, I want adventure. You know, the big way the bell comes down and she's like, Spinning, she got her arms up.

She ran to the top of hill and put her arms by her side and went, I want an adventure. I was like, this is wrong. We've said almost exactly that on the show. And we were like, Jehalla just should have done it. Fuck Emma wants it. I was actually in the cinema because I want to be in the cinema

and I want to be in a position where I'm so impressed by the person that I go fucking hell well done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't have done that in a million years with all the training in the world I, you know, bless you. But when I see someone's performance,

I go, I could do that. Like, I shouldn't be feeling. Why am I sitting there? I shouldn't be feeling that at all. And Emma, and I was like, I was wriggling trying to move for her. Like, it's so much. Come on, come on, come on.

Yeah. Maybe if I move a bit more, she'll move a bit more. But he didn't. work like that. And yeah, so I think the circle, it's an interesting concept, but it's not like a brilliant movie and it kind of, it built itself

up to a me, to a me. I saw it on Netflix and saw her face and just went scrolled, scrolls, some serious, serious issues. So have you seen anything Sophie this week that you'd like to review? I finished watching Glow. Yeah.

I still haven't started yet. Have you not? I was just finishing red oaks and something else, so I'm going to do that next. It will change your life. for the week. I love that it's only 25 minutes long each episode. I love ones like that as well. But I did, I binged, like, I binged

it. Excellent. How many episodes? 10. Oh my God, I'll have that done by Monday. Yeah. It's nothing. And I legit, like, Googled spandex wear on eBay because I was inspired. I just wanted some high-rise leitats up. I know. I was just like, everything just needs to go off. I just wear a thong all the time

and let me. It's very cold on me. Yeah. It really is. And I just, I'm in love with, not only the acting, the comedy the story, but also just the design, whoever it's set in like 1984 or whatever. It's spot on, isn't it? Absolutely, they have like spent so much effort

and it's not like an attempt to be 80s or an ode to 80s, it is the 80s. Sometimes you find they just bung a couple of Sergio de Cheney tracksuits on people and go, yes, it's the 80s. And you think really, it's not. That's a poor effort. Everything. Everything. From what I've seen

of the promo shots and things, it looks. Yeah. Really authentic. It's authentic. It's just really fun as well. You've seen orange is the new black. Yeah. But you can, you feel it, don't you? You still feel that that's the same writing. It's the same gritty, like, female, powered.

Like, it's great. I love it. And it's not, it is not, like, because it looked like it could be quite a plasticy show, but it's really gritty. Like, the girls are getting top-less. There's lots of sort of... Yeah, yeah, there's boobs.

In the first episode, within the first... Tits everywhere. Yeah, Alison Brie gets a tits out of her. And, you know, and I think from that moment, you go, okay, I can take this seriously. Yeah, this is not what I thought it was. Yeah, yeah. this isn't a silly show.

Yeah. As soon as you see a tit. There we go. This is raw. This is real. Game change. Yeah. Oscar.

Oscar. But super brilliant show. So I'm kind of want to watch it again. Yeah. I can't wait for series two. They need to make the episodes a bit longer though, I think. I want to sit there more. You know, when it ended, I was like, where's the next episode?

Where is it? I hate that. I hate that. Anger, isn't it? And I was like, that's it. That's it. I had that with Riverdale. I watched the finale not realizing it was a finale

I was like I'll just go to the next No! Yeah, I wish I'd have invested a little bit more time in that. I actually watched like the penultimate one thinking it was the finale. Tweed and everything going What am I supposed to do? My Fridays now, blah blah blah, blah.

Came in here and Johanna went Oh, you know the bit went blah blah blah? And I was like, no. Is this a secret episode? A secret episode. Right. And I'm trying to think of the other series that I was also loving, which was

Is it Netflix as well? No, I'm just for some music, because I've got a little song for them. But I can't remember which show I've got this from now. It's Selena Gomez. So I think it's probably 13 reasons why. No, it's not. I actually think this is also from Baby Driver. Oh, brilliant.

I'm not really surprised that Selena Gomez was on that. You can't correct me anybody if this is wrong. Edgar, if you're listening, correct her. Yes, sorry. Sorry, Mr. Wright. I may have got it wrong. Okay, so this is Same All Love by Selena Gomez. and then we're going to come back because I have got

some more stuff on Netflix that I think you guys should definitely because one of them has changed my life to the point where I have now become a vegetarian so really I'm very excited to hear about this oh you've joined the club welcome we have t-shirts do you have mugs we have mugs we have mugs I will tell you all about why this movie changed my life just after the song Wesleyan the Gamos okay here we go I could sing like Selena Gomez.

Yes. You can. Say my love. She just whispers everything. That's true. Bad liar. Oh my God, we have a... Selena Gomez impersonal in the building, guys.

Sophie Craig. In Sophie Craig on all social media. Right. So before we were just having a bit of a film review and I was saying that I saw a film on Netflix that affected me to a point where it changed something in my life and it was true. I saw the film.

Oakja or Okja It's a very weird title But it should be one of the main things They're pushing at the moment on the top of the Netflix And it's spelled OKJA Like okayja Okay JA Okay Jha

And it's got Tilda Swinton in it It's got Paul Oh my gosh I forgot the second gnome now I forgot the name as well I watched about five minutes of it I think he's called like Paul Dano

Danos Paul Dano Dano that's the one That's the one And it's this really unusual concept story about this fictional super pig that they have made. They've made this genetically modified animal, which is like this huge hippo slash by a pig,

and it's called a super pig. And they made 26 of them. They sent them to different farmers all over the world, and in 10 years' time, they're going to find the best pig, and that that pig is going to be the kind of the show pig for all the world, and they're going to breed these super pigs in the millions and millions, and it's going to be the new cheap meat. to replace other kind of farming

like save agriculture and stuff so that's the concept of the movie but what happens is that this little super pig gets sent to a farmer in Korea who has a little daughter like the same age and they grow up together over those 10 years and when it comes to picking the super pig called Okja they pick her one

and she never understood that it was going to have to go away and be slaughtered I'm glad I didn't finish you and so the movie is the pig being taken and this girl basically not taking no for an answer and she follows the pig to New York

she gets involved with a group of animal activists who are trying to kidnap the pig back and it's all about her trying to save this pig's life and it's just a really good well-made movie Tilda Swindon Swindon is the

owner of the kind of manufacturing company who wants to kill the pigs and package them. She's a good daddy and it was just a really good movie, it's produced by Brad Pitt. Oh, Plan B, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. It's produced by Brad Pitt and it was just a really good film. But the point is, is that it actually made me cry.

Not many films do, like, you know, if you made me cry. And it made my boyfriend cry. Sorry, disclosure. Yeah, you did cry. I saw you. It really affected us because at the end of it, it gets to the point where she's got to save the pig last minute in the slaughterhouse in the abattoir. Wow. I don't think how I want to watch it. So she's like racing through the abattoir to get to her. That sounds horrific.

And, yeah, I just saw the kind of the other side. Even though it was a fictional movie, obviously everything that was in the movie was what kind of goes on in everyday avatars. Every movie's got a message, isn't it? Yeah, so this message was sort of like pigs have feelings too. And a bit like the babe, the babe of the 90s movie. Pigs are as intelligent, if not more intelligent than dogs.

Yeah. And I think people forget that. You know, it's just so lovely. Because they just think, oh, big, because I don't eat dogs. Yeah, exactly. You don't eat dogs, but they, oh, I can't. So I literally, like, kind of, the film ended,

and I was like, oh, my God, that was an amazing film. And then I was like, I literally can't stop thinking about some of the things that I saw. And I was like, oh, it's done a really good job because I emotionally invested in that character. And I sort of saw the side of the oak chair, the pig. It made me translate that into real life. And I actually think, this is where I sit, I realize, that I don't think that we necessarily, should not eat me I think that we are designed

to eat meat but the way that we do it now in this culture is actually not okay so we you know it's not the same as like the Native Americans where you can

you hunt it and then you use every single bit and you're really thankful for it and you can recycle and reuse and whatever but we don't do that they bless it and everything

they thank like the earth for it I think that's why we're designed to sort of be like that but unfortunately now we've got abattoirs and things like that. And it's just massive slaughter. Yeah, and

it's, and I was like, okay, so then I've got a decision of either, I can be in denial about that. Which I think most people are. I think anyone that eats me, you know, if you try to say that to them, I think they do, they get, they're in denial. It's not that they don't want to, it's just a blinder here. I choose, I choose

to ignore it because otherwise I would cry every time I at dinner. But then is that saying something to me? I don't know. I started to listen to that like, oh, but if I looked at it, I get upset and I was like, well, why are you upset? because you know it's wrong. Well, then don't do it. Yeah.

So then I was like, okay, well, I'm going to, so I have a choice and I can support these avatoules or I cannot. Yeah. And I was like, I don't think it sits right with me anymore. I think this film is actually so good as a story, but also the message in it was really powerful. And I'm not saying that if you watch this film, you're going to be a vegetarian because my boyfriend had like a burger straight after.

But for me, it didn't sit with me right. Yeah, it made me think about it for a day. And then the next day, I ended up having a meal and I was given sort of chicken on a stick and I, I struggled to get it down. I struggled with it because like it kind of like something had been clicked in my head and it wasn't just. And I've been vegetarian for a week now. Wow. Well done you.

You know, bar a sweet that I didn't realize. Oh yeah. Obviously. Yeah. It's a lot of gelatin. Because me, I know what's meat, but there's a load of products that I don't even know what are in. So it's made me think a little bit about what I'm eating and where it's coming from. Yeah.

Check the packet because you just. don't know what you're just shoving things in your god most of the time, you don't really know where they're coming from. So I definitely recommend Oakja and the last thing for for Netflix I'm going to recommend this week is a thing called double X so it's like

XX. I'm pleased you've watched that because that was another one that I looked at and then thought okay this list looks good and then got distracted. I was so proud of myself it's four short horrors and you watched them all Johanna. This is amazing, well done. I think, well, actually, I watched three.

Still. From behind a pillow. But they weren't, like, gore horrors. Okay. I can start. It was a more short story with, like, psychological.

Like, was it supernatural? Like, flesher or, yeah. Oh, I got, I love those stories. But they're all different. It's like four different, four different shorts, all sort of weaved together, but even though they each set story

is nothing to do with the other one. And it's just a good little spooky, you can either watch them in episodes or you can just watch the whole thing is like a movie. I think I'm going to watch that. And like the first one was about this sort of woman whose children stop eating. And they can't get to the bottom of why they, children are refusing to eat.

And then the husband decides to go on a, he goes until my children eat, I'm not going to eat. And so it's like, yeah. Oh yeah, don't give it away. They'll die at the end. Yeah, starvation. And then there's, yeah, so there's a completely different little, but it was, they're really well made. Excellent. I was so excited that short film form was becoming like high up on the Netflix.

I thought, oh, this is great. Yeah. Because if you can make... They get buried otherwise, don't know. That's a shame because there are so many hidden gems out there. Of short film. Totally. Even from, you know, years and years ago, things that people haven't been able to see.

And I just think, you know, get on YouTube and have a search. But now I can get on Netflix and have a search. It's amazing. They're coming up the list like you said. I was like, that's what drew me, not the horror thing. It went for short film. Yeah. So I went, ooh, a horror.

I was like, I did like a disclosure with my boyfriend. I was like, right, I'm going to watch horror. Like, it's on you if I can't sleep like. Yeah. Actually, I've got to say, if anyone does struggle with like nightmares and horrors and stuff, because I had a whole life of like having night terrors. And my boyfriend invented this really cool thing, or maybe someone told him. So you wake up and you're like, oh my God, my God.

And he goes, here's a gun, go back in, saw it out. And like hands you like in a little invisible gun. And then you kind of go back in the dream and you go back in with your gun and you literally have the power to go, that is so simple. That's so cute. Yeah. But it's actually, I think it's like a psychological thing. Yeah.

If you owning the thing that just scared you. Make perfect sense, really. Like night terrors and stuff. It's all like psychological stuff in it. So if you're suddenly taking control of the situation, it's like, boom, I'm on it. It's really empowering. Die. You know, it's like, boom.

Yeah. Oh, that's really sweet. That is lovely. Take the gun, go. like, okay, bye. But it kind of revolutionise my sleeping pattern. So yeah, gosh, maybe

we should turn the segment as a show in like, I've got vegetarian. Health life hacks by Johanna James. No, maybe not. The Spider-Man movie is out now. I've only seen the first 20 minutes. I didn't go and see it because I thought I knew you'd gone to the premiere and I thought you'd seen the whole thing.

No, I went up to a screening the other day and I got the wrong. wrong end of the stick or I miss the memo or whatever and it was just a 20 minute screening. Oh no. So I turned up, got comfy, took my shoes off, had a massive toe blower and was like, right, let's do it. But apparently the reviews have been like really amazing. Well, yeah. It's the best Spider-Man film and Tom Holland's great and I want to sign him up for like 57 sequels and stuff. So I've got a little bit of a trailer to play out now. So I'm going to give that a quick little play. And then I think it's going to be the end of the show.

Oh, so I hope you guys have a lovely weekend. We will be back next week with loads more guest, competitions, and of course, film reviews. And me. Every week. Thank you so much, Sophie. You've been amazing today. Thank you very much for having me. I've had a great time. It's been brilliant. Right, this is Spider-Man trailer, and we are over and out. Peter, you coming tonight? I can tonight. I got the Stark internship. What's up, guys?

Mr. Stark, here's my report for tonight. I stopped the Grand The Ficycle. Hey, could you do me in favor? Hold on to them. Is this anybody's bite? Oh, I helped us the old lady, and she bought. me a chiro, so that was nice. These weapons are crazy dangerous. Listen, Peter, there are people who handle this sort of thing. Can't you just be a friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man? What are you hiding, Peter?

I'm just kidding, I don't care. Bye. There's a ton of other subsystems in here, but they're all disabled by the training wheels protocol. I'm sick of Mr. Stark treating me like a kid. But you are a kid. Yeah, a kid who can stop a bus with his bare hand. If you enjoyed this podcast,
