Let's get into it.
A little poo nugget came on me, son.
Okay, let's go. Look it came on me son. You do. I do. I do and you do. What is the point of those clothes? All I need are Alpha Flies and pink socks.
You look like an idiot.
I actually think they look quite cool.
Thanks, man.
No, you don't.
I do?
No, you don't.
I do like those glasses.
You think they're cool?
You know what you are?
Luke, you are a hater.
All you do is want to talk negative about everyone.
You're just jealous because you won't have to wear these because these don't come with a prescription.
I'm actually the biggest supporter and lover you'll ever see.
Can you get prescription running
glasses like these?
I've no idea.
You would know
because you're a
nerd who runs.
Well, speaking of
support and love,
thanks everyone for
continuing to subscribe
because now I've got
a better chair.
Yeah, 20,000 subs.
Oh yeah, I know,
finally.
Thanks.
Oh, this is why
we've got new chairs?
Yeah, mate.
Yours is a bit of
the shit chair.
You're really small.
It's comfort.
Don't do that.
Also, guys,
Tom, you might want
to hear this.
Reeve, and I said it in pitch side this morning,
has got pink eye.
Yeah.
You really?
No.
Remember you were saying that I was most likely to get pink eye.
You said I was most likely to get pink eye out of everyone.
Now look at you.
That's karma, dude.
You don't have pink eye.
You do have pink eye.
That's exactly what someone who has pink eye would say.
You said Meg farted on your face last night.
We've had a very similar
weekend
what's Meg doing with you
no no
my arse is just split
why
stitching back up
why
got bummed
by loads of men
is that what it's like
if you got bummed
for the first time?
Would it be like...
No, no, my first time was alright.
That's what they say, isn't it?
Every stag do is a shag do.
Tom, obviously you've just got back from Tenerife.
But before we get on to that,
Lewis has got a big announcement to make, haven't you?
Yeah, congrats, Lou.
You are now a runner.
Oh yeah, it's easy like i saw you video
do you know what's pathetic about that stopping after a kilometer i didn't stop after a quarter
it was the third kilometer oh you didn't stop did you it's a third kilometer what what you went out
and run 5k but you didn't stretch and he said also by the way he said to us adamantly oh yeah
you don't get tired in running you don't i wasn't tired so why did you stop i should have stretched you see didn't i should by the way i i only wanted to do a 20 year 5k
after not running ever that's like no what did you do 28 minutes yeah it's all right i could do
less than that dress like this no no i agree because it's easy because he told us he did a
27 minute no i didn't 5k i didn't yeah 5K. I didn't. Yeah, you did.
No, I didn't.
I'm making things up.
How have you found out what he's actually doing?
I followed him on Strava just to really analyse what he's done
and what he's told us and all the lies he's been actually saying.
Did you stop your watch or your run at any point, Lou?
I don't have a watch because you don't need a watch
and all these gadgets go far wrong.
That's my point.
You don't need all this shit.
No, I was on your side until... He saw a run. That's my point. You don't need all this shit. No, I was on your side until...
He saw you run.
Yeah.
5Ks are completely easy.
I agree with that.
Do you know what the problem was?
Genuinely.
The shit like they do
or like when people are doing marathons.
No, people are confusing my point with that.
You said, oh, don't get tired.
Yeah, so you went out at 4.47
on your first kilometre.
That's pretty good, isn't it?
Your second one was 5.12.
Third one, 5.28. Third one, 5.28.
Fourth one, 6.16.
I had a stretch.
Yeah, but how many times did you stop?
No, I didn't stop.
I had to stop.
I only stopped.
I didn't stop, but I had to stop.
No, no, no.
I only stopped once to actually stretch.
I was like, I fucking should have stretched.
Yeah, that's the only time.
Then at the last kilometre, I just ran.
You actually ran for 30 minutes
and also Luke
why are you hating
on people
wearing sunglasses
when it's sunny
people are so like
sensitive here
it's hate
no you're hating on me
I'm not allowed
to take the piss
out of someone
otherwise I'm a hater
you're not taking the piss
you're not taking the piss
there's a difference
between taking the piss
why do you care
what I say
as a non-runner
oh so you're
you're a jealous
little man
is that what you're saying
I'm jealous of your glasses
they're so defensive of the sport.
And realistically,
the only people who run are nerds.
You're not going to...
You literally went for a run
and couldn't even complete it
in one go.
You're not going to basketball,
so you just go for it,
run around a pond,
and then you put on your high boots.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mo Farah, man.
He's a fucking nerd.
He's shit.
Nothing but all these times
I'm open about it.
They're probably laughing at you
having to stop after two kilometres
to stretch.
They probably are
that's embarrassing
the impression that you get
from them
that's more embarrassing
than anything
they've ever worn
or said or done
he wears a hairband
because it sweats
you stopped after two kilometres
Rafa Nadal wears a headband
because he sweats
you can't compare yourself
to Rafa Nadal
what's the point
are you a fucking
example
to Rafa Nadal
that's not why LeBron James fucking sasshole? That's not why
LeBron James wore
a headband, mate.
It's not even a
headband, it's like
a little shoelace
he has on his head.
Yeah, to stop
the sweat going
in my eye.
You have eyebrows!
Oh my God.
That's what eyebrows
are for.
They stop the sweat
going, that's why
you have eyebrows.
Why are you
wearing a hat, Lou?
That is not true
because I still get
sweat in my eye
sometimes.
Tenerife?
If I sweat, yeah.
Why are you
wearing a hat?
Because I have
shit hair. Why are you wearing a hat because I have shit hair
why are you wearing a hat
same reason I'm guessing
because I haven't showered today
yeah so what is
so what your
my point is
why are you having a go
at someone for wearing something
I'm not I'm just saying
you look
it's like the same way
that you wore the funny
Mr. Krabs socks
the other day
I said you look like shit
it's not really even
a sport thing
you're just dressing up
like a knob
that's the main thing
you can go for a run and enjoy it,
but I can honestly say you look like a right knob.
Some people run normally.
And do you know what?
I sort of tip my hat to people
who are just wearing shorts, a black t-shirt,
and they have none of this shit,
and they go, I'm like, yeah, fair play, mate.
You know about this whole like fashion stuff, yeah?
Why are people not allowed to like
dress fashionably whilst running,
but why in everyday life they can?
You can wear what you want.
So when your boss, Cal Friese,
walks in in shit drip
yeah he does it often as well
but you say
oh mate you look so good today
but if someone wears
a pink t-shirt
to run in
oh god forbid
shoot them
he was walking around
with a hat
with a little light on
I said he looked like
a non-beer on his mate
he does
he had a little flashing light
I'm like what's the purpose of that
he's like just in case
you live in jeans
the sun died
or do you think
you might be the worst dressed person in this building?
So shouldn't surely I know what looks good?
I've challenged Lewis that in one month's time,
if he beats me in a 5K, he'll get something.
But everything I ask for in return, he's refusing because he's scared of all bets.
I already know what I want from him.
Hang on, hang on.
So you're actively racing each other on the day
or is it just time?
Yeah, on the day.
Or if he beats you,
you give him 50 grand.
No, no, no, no.
I want something even better.
I want your Ironman medal.
I want your half Ironman medal.
Give it to me.
If I beat you at five,
I deserve it.
That's fine.
Take the bet.
It's a fucking useless bet.
But if Paul,
not to him,
it's important to him
and that's all that matters.
But if you do a full one,
what do you go?
Well, everything I've asked for he refuses
you haven't asked for anything
no you should
you should take his
you should take his
Ironman medal
that he gets
when he completes
a full Ironman
yeah
he's handing over to me
oh I've had this
but if you beat him
he has to enter an Ironman
that's
that's good
yeah
that's expensive isn't it
how much
we'll pay for it We're paying for it.
We can definitely get some
sponsored for you.
Oh, that's a good idea.
If you're that good at running,
you should do a full Ironman.
Yeah, if it's that easy,
if it's that sissy
and like anyone can do it,
oh yeah.
Lewis did say to me,
by the way,
you know this 5K,
I'm doing this 5K bet with you.
We're doing that in a month.
He said,
I won't even need to train.
I'll just go out and run.
It's not hard.
Easiest sport in the world.
Let's do it.
Absolute light work.
You're going to get to track.
You get so rattled.
Yeah.
Get your headband on.
I could beat your 5k time after a month.
You've got to take the bet.
You've got to take it.
Yeah.
It can be your Ironman medal.
Yeah.
And if you don't beat me.
We put you in for a full Ironman.
But that's like like of course you
beat i'll beat you time but so you're just going to be training for it as well no i'm not allowed
to train for it you're always like yeah i'll just do it i'll just continue as i am yeah and you just
train for your 5k you should do it in jeans yeah yeah it'll still be yeah that's perfect i can't
believe that's actually disgusting I touched on the fact
that Lewis bought
some running shoes
yeah
female running shoes
can I get this up
right
so he put it
I didn't even
was it your story
right
and I didn't even
I was out
I couldn't even hear
what he was saying
but I seen
I seen the picture
on the veil
bright pink
and I'm just going
and you can see
the woman
it's a woman
sat down
with the barber
her head's not on
but you can tell
by her hands
it's a woman
and I just put
women's shoes are crazy
by the way
and he went
wait are they
wait so
they're pink
but surely they don't
fit you though
because like a woman's
ten is not the same
as a men's ten
that is fit
alright
it might be unisex now John's a bit crazy are they women's I feel like ZX Fluxes they don't fit you though because like a woman's 10 is not the same as a men's 10. That is shit. All right.
Might be unisex.
Now,
I'm doing something crazy.
I don't even,
I don't like ZX Fluxes. Okay,
this is my,
by the way,
this is my main thing
with running problems
is like,
everyone is telling me
I need to get this,
like shit,
I need to get a watch
and when I've just started,
like those cost 40 quid
and I was told by Charlie
they aren't running shoes.
It literally has running
in the title.
They're ZX Fluxes, aren't shoes it literally has running in the title they're ZX
you know what I mean
it says running
in the title on here
it says running
and they're like
those aren't even running shoes
I'm like
well what the fuck are they then
it's like the rush out runs
weren't running shoes
they're called running shoes
in the women's aisle
shoes
and then you get through
oh because they're not
150 quid
they're not from this
random stupid company
no no I completely get
what you're saying Lou
but also at the end of the day
you should get a shoe
that is good for you
because otherwise
you actually can get injured
you should just be more
supportive of me really
no we would be
we would be
if you just
bought this on yourself
Lou we would be
supportive of you
if you weren't
such a knob about it
do you know why logic is right
I've always been like this
even with my driving test
so things are
this might sound weird
but things I know
things I know I'm bad at i'll talk shit about and say
it's really easy so then that forces you to be good i did it with me driving test that doesn't
make any sense so in the driving test the guy before he's already talking me down he's like
yeah mate don't worry if you fail and i was going to him nah it's easy nah it's light work blah blah
blah and it sort of forces you to be good i was giving it the big into me mates so all they wanted all them wanted me to fail so that creates motivation to
do well because you know now i've raised the stakes i have to do so well otherwise i'm going
to not maybe it's just a defense mechanism and actually you're really nervous and you're actually
very insecure man no because now now with you now it is i've raised the stakes so much i'm gonna
have to keep myself accountable.
Do you think you're very insecure and actually your autism,
some would say, is actually like a defensive mechanism for your internal thoughts?
You wouldn't let her off there.
You actually can't.
You actually can't.
You can't.
If you let yourself be quiet for a split second
and let your internal thoughts take over,
you actually might decombust.
Yeah.
Is it because if you actually are yourself, you're just nothing of a man? You're just an absolute take over you actually might decombust yeah is it because
if you actually are yourself
you're just nothing of a man
you're just an absolute
are you going to cry
duh
it's the diary of the city
you're wondering
are you actually going to cry
nah yeah
I can't make myself
cry sometimes
how do you do that
I used to do it before school
you have to just think about
about that 5k
yeah if you want to
if you want to be
if you want to be off for school
I used to like just
picture like
everyone dying
or like
I told you
someone specific
I told you before
like I used to think
about like death
as a child
and like sit
and freak myself out
why are your eyes so
what do you mean
what do you mean
think about death
or explain
so you dying
or someone else dying
or seeing someone die
or what do you mean
so picture I'm like
eight year old
looking into the distance no because I remember it so I'm like eight year old. Looking into the distance.
No, because I remember it.
So I was like eight years old and like you're on the end.
I've come close with a Grim Reaper.
I was eight years old.
That'll be on my bed.
And I'm thinking like, one day I'm just going to die.
And that'll be the end forever and ever and ever and ever.
Yeah, you might come back as like a rabbit.
No, in my head, no, no, and ever and ever.
And then I start
relating it to myself
so I'll be like
you'll never have
Rice Krispies again
you'll never
and it's just
darkness forever
and ever
and I'll do that
and I get a feeling
like my chest
goes
and you have a
panic attack
Lewis Pet
it's 7.50
we've got to get you
to school
I love it
I love it
also the fact that
you rate Rice Krispies the best cereal is so criminal by the way
so weird yeah a group without any seasonings whatever what's that
have you not heard about this his mom would cook him chicken but she'd burn it because
she's scared no no no no and then they wouldn't they didn't have salt and pepper
i want to know what kind of seasoning you're chucking on Rice Krispies, mate.
No Coco Pops, for example.
It was just like rice plain, healthy stuff.
Rice plain.
Rice plain?
Rice not plain.
Sorry, man, if you're watching this.
But she used to think if there was juices in the chicken,
that meant it might be undercooked.
So she burned it.
I'm sorry, man.
So dry.
What was your steak, Lloyd?
It was... We couldn't afford the Tory foods.
Like steak.
What a steak from a supermarket.
We'd have chicken.
We'd maybe have...
Then a lot of like corned beef casserole.
You know what?
You were fucking brought up in a third world country.
Your town is the most Tory town I've ever been to in my life.
You do not even remember one thing about my village.
You didn't take us there?
I did.
And I offered you to come to my house
and you said, nah, just shit all, fuck off.
No, that's the crazy thing that happened.
You literally said,
do you want to come near my house?
Yeah, you said you'd like to have the bus.
No, I said, you can come near if you like.
And then you laughed.
And then you said, nah, just fuck off, mate.
It's on video.
That's just a generic then
tom almost died yeah we had a beer yeah you did almost die and you met daddy anyways i predict
that lewis next week will come in in pink socks and gradually over time he'll convert but we are
having that 5k race in a month yeah i guess so it's a bit annoying we'll do it for a backside vlog
yeah yeah do people want to see that like let's do a video let's know who you think will win and
what you think
the forfeits should be
yeah
just cheat and get a
line bike
I'll split the
winnings with you
no because we're
watching you do it
we've got to run
against each other
if we see you on a
line bike we know
that you haven't ran it
you are a clever
clever boy
thank you
it wasn't the only
thing that happened
over the weekend
was it though
you're on about
high up
damn fitness
you're actually
going to keep
those glasses on
it's really bright
I thought we were
segwaying into him
we're saving that one
oh okay
alright
saving the question
ours just isn't as
cool as what Tom's
done so
yeah me and Reeve
did a high rocks
yeah
I don't know if
it was a good time
I don't really know
anything about
we wanted to beat
1 hour 10
and we got 1 hour 8 so it's a good time I don't really know anything about it's what we we wanted to be one hour ten and we got one hour eight
so it's obviously
it's
did you
did you win
to beat everyone
I don't know
I don't know
it worked
we ran our own match
I've seen you
I've seen you celebrating
on your TikTok
so I thought
did you see him
on my hand
I only saw
the photos
poor Reem
we're bringing this up
all the time
Reem
you tried to you tried to hold my hand where's the it's on for your I only saw the photos. Oh, poor Reem, man. We're bringing this up all the time. He rinsed it. No, I'm putting it
He tried to hold my hand.
Wait, where's the...
It's up for your...
We had to go
across the finishing line.
He went to go
hold my hand
and I sort of
just let go.
Oh, pause.
You could have
a cute little moment
when we're across
the line together
but you ruined it.
And then he wipes out
someone doing wall balls.
No, what do we do first?
The ski.
Ski, sled, push, sled, pull.
Ski could have been faster
for me
yeah
but I don't want
to gas out
what was next
like wrestler music
everyone's like
shit
should have
subbed him in
oh yeah you would
be great at skiing
to be fair
there was a little
moment though
we picked up the
farmer carries
like the two kettlebells
yeah
and I just started
running with him
yeah
and he
behind me goes oh me i'm so proud of you i'm not him keep going i love you
and it did give me goosebumps yeah it's a nice moment yeah
honestly i'm about to bleed this but you two are fucking
i find it so funny there
so you went to
Tenerife
where you
obviously did the
infamous skiing session
did you get a photo
to recreate it
no
I barely went on my phone
all weekend to be fair
oh
no risk of any more videos
hey
phones are weird boys
living in the moment
nah it was just more
it just wasn't that
I don't know
a lot of my mates
I don't know they don't
that group they can't work a phone they know they prefer not having things on stories and
that because they've all got missuses and stuff not that now you've done them
one of my mates had a barn in his missus one night because they were i put a story up and
there was he was just sat there and like five yards behind him
walking past was a girl.
And it kind of looked like she was within our group,
but she weren't.
I don't think I spoke to one girl.
Just sat looking,
I've been watching it,
just trying to find something to get angry at.
The only bird I spoke to is the bird who's selling balloons.
Do you know what is funny though?
A lot of girls and girlfriends,
like think all these lads,
when the lads holiday,
they're going to get up to no good
they sit around
talking about football
and beers
it becomes just more
golf holidays
are the best for that now
those are like
the grown up adult
lads holidays
you get pissed
but also play a golf
on the day
I want to hear more
about Tenerife though
there was one shagger
and he went around
a lot of us
no this is actually
quite a fucking good story
so he um oh my god no there was two sagas oh my fucking god i forgot well the shaggy isn't it
the first night right the first night so bear in mind our flight was about seven o'clock in
the morning so we all met up at as you do yeah i work up to my phone and just like there's a story with you drinking at
like 6am already i was like we made up at half three in the morning for a half hour journey to
the airport and our flight was at seven so people had already started drinking and doing other
things on the coach on the way no way no way that is insane i was like they were like do you want a little Fiki Menage
I was like
I think I'm alright

I was front row
because I was in
business class

I reckon I had
10 beers on the plane

wanker
when I got off that plane isn't it like a three hour flight yeah and I was just like I got on the plane I was fucking wanker when I got off that plane
isn't it like a
three hour flight
yeah and I was just like
I got off the plane
I was like

I was like
now we've all had a nap
I was like
oh no this is
what you were drinking
on your own
I was sat on my own
just like this
all this adds up to
you shouldn't really

old couple
who are only from
Alzo and down the road
from me
talking to them oh no you were sat on your own sat next to this old couple who are only from Alzo and down there after me talking to them
oh no

to them
wait so all your mates
are just like a
sleep on the plane
and you're just
chatting to this
old couple
like going through
fucking bits
oh it's gonna be
lovely this isn't it
I'm surprised they
kept serving you
yeah
we get off
no the
flight attendants
love me I'll give them a cuddle as we left then we get off no the flight attendants love me
I'll give them a cuddle
as we left
then we got off
headed straight to
it was only like
a 15 minute journey
to the hotel
get to the hotel
the lads went and
picked up
the goods
the shopping
the shopping
for the room
because we wanted to get
some drinks and food
for the
checking the time
I'm recording
just the bags of shopping
okay anyway
then it gets to about
what
I can't
are you carrying on
drinking it
because surely you'd like
crash a little bit
yeah this is where I'll stop
drinking at this point
so then it gets to about
11 o'clock
and I'm like
no
AM
11 AM
and he's had 15 pints
then it gets to like
8 or 9 8 or 9 o'clock and we've finished around the pool and Then it gets to like eight or nine,
eight or nine o'clock
and we finish around the pool
and everyone goes up
to get changed
and go out.
PM.
You've been drinking
all through the day?
Yes, non-stop.
How many pints do you reckon
you've had up to this point?
20.
When you land,
does the time go back
when you landed?
No, it's the same time
as anyway.
Yeah, it's just like
straight down.
It's hot though,
it's hot.
Yeah, really hot.
I burnt the first day
because obviously we went straight in the pool.
Everyone's just, I don't know, wrestling and touching underneath.
Yeah, so then we all went up to the room to get changed.
And I just remember going into the shower, having a shower.
And I come back out and I was like, right, I'll just have a quick lie down.
And then I just remember waking up about one in the morning.
No, about 12.
Just butt naked by phone.
I got like 40 missed calls.
Everyone's like, where the fuck are you?
Like, everyone's out.
And I'm like, oh, great.
So I'm like, where is everyone?
No one was replying to me.
And then the one lad who stayed in to smoke weed on the balcony.
Oh, my God.
Because you can smoke weed in Tenerife.
So then I go to him and no one's replying.
And by the time people are replying, they're coming home anyway.
So I'm like, oh, we'll just stay on the balcony and drink and whatever.
Two lads come back with two girls, and I swear to God, right,
one of my mates comes in, he's like, look at this fucking bricklayer,
thinking he's taking a piss.
She was actually a bricklayer.
My mate shagged a bricklayer. She's a bricklayer thinking he's taking the piss she was actually a bricklayer my mate shagged a bricklayer
he's a bricklayer and look no no offense to any women who are bricklayers right i could not stop
laughing everyone's going look you know where's the trowels you're gonna put a mix on
while she's shagging him anyway Anyway. She's a bricklayer.
She's a bricklayer.
Then her mate walks in
and we're like,
fuck,
you know,
was she a plumber?
She comes in.
She's a plumber.
No,
she weren't a plumber.
I don't know what,
she was fucking annoying.
Anyway,
the next,
the next day
they come down
and one of the lads
is like,
everyone's like laughing
and I'm like,
what's going on?
He's like, ask, ask.
I'm not going to say his name.
Ask him what happened, right?
Not the bricklayer, the other bird.
Went back with my mate and they were back in his room apparently.
And he was, apparently, he was, he bent her over and was fingering her.
And while she was squirtingirting a little poo nugget
came on his hand
oh god
no no
and then she tried to deny it
apparently he asked that
he asked her
was like what the fuck
she was like well it's not me
and he was like
well it ain't me
who knows
so yeah that was it my mate's taking a bricklayer and then the other mate got shot on I was like, what the fuck? She was like, well, it's not me. And he was like, well, it ain't me. Who is he?
So yeah, that was it.
My mate shagged a bricklayer and then the other mate got shot on.
Wait, what?
Fingered me?
Is he shagged?
But then he still shagged the next night as well.
Dirty bastard.
Third night, also I didn't make it out properly.
You had a great holiday yeah
but do you think
the days were the best
so like the day
sitting on the balcony
with that one guy
who's never left
the entire
French fucking week
he's here again
he wasn't even
on the holiday with us
I'll be honest
I was a fucking
disgrace
my performance
was really bad

yeah but it was a funny weekend
memories for a lifetime eh
yeah and I'm a bit rough today
but we do again don't we

MAGA's class
Zanty
by the way
going back to MAGA

I've only ever been once
I think that was
how old were you
when you went to MAGA
I think we went once
and we went Zanty
then we were looking about
at all these places
they just fucking rip off
so we're like
let's just go back to MAGA
so you must have been
at least 20
how old were you
that's criminal
quite literally how long ago was the second MAGA I can't remember now So you must have been at least 20. How old were you? That's criminal. Quite literally.
How long ago was the second MAGA?
I can't remember now.
Because since then I'm an adult now.
You want to hear something that is criminal?
What?
Is it Chris MD?
Did he go MAGA?
He went to MAGA like last year.
No.
At the age of 27.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's too old.
For a video?
No, for a holiday.
For a holiday
it was him
Arthur and
Arthur and George

adult part of
Magga

that doesn't exist
they went to the
strip man

night out
Magga's class
though man
that's got a
bad reputation
it's actually
clean
it's so much
better than fucking Zanty I hated Magga Magga was better than that's got a bad reputation it's actually so much better than fucking Zante
I hated Magga
Magga was better
than Zante for me
they're all shit old
yeah Zante
no Magga's actually
decent strip
the chicken shop
at the bottom
of the Zante strip
oh my god
the popcorn chicken
is the best thing ever
I've never did Zante
I've only ever done
Magga and Tenerife
I don't want to be that guy
he's talking about food
I went Zante
two days after
I did my knee
because they wouldn't let me have did my knee because they wouldn't
let me have my
whoever not injured
mate they wouldn't
let me
it was too late
to get my money back
so I went in crutches
and a giant cast
that's tragic
yeah I know
but then on the first day
I just took it off
god you're crazy
yeah
like the rock
on Bastion Fury
yeah
it was one of them
velcro
it was a velcro velcro cast guys can you help me get this off ofcro It was a Velcro
Velcro car
Guys can you help me
Get this off of you
It was a Velcro car
Big regret though
I shouldn't have done that
It wasn't a cast
It was a Velcro one
Like a Velcro
Oh like a strapped
Hold it
Yeah it's huge
It's not a cast though is it
I don't know what it's called
Fucking really bad decision
Doing that though
Ripping off plastic
I did like a
Flaming Drambuie
What the fuck He's honest Only you could go So well like that And have a flaming drambuie. What the fuck is...
Only you could go through
another flaming drambuie.
We were 18, man.
We were living it up.
I did forget to blow it out.
Then we had a few...
We had a few porn star martinis.
I went on one of the...
I went on a bit of cray cray.
I didn't meet the GC out there.
A man.
Had a few kettle crisps. The other big slingshot ride. that'd be kettle Christmas
yeah
that'd be a
slingshot ride
did you go on that
Ed Maga
I've seen the videos
I didn't go on any
of the rides
I've never fucking
risked my life
I got to go on the
rides
I fucking hate the
nah I hate the rides
guys come on
let's go on the rides
it's gonna be fun guys
nah we're gonna
fucking
we're gonna sniff gear
and drink Lewis
no come on it'll be fun are we're going to fucking... We're going to sniff gear and drink Lewis. No, come on!
That'll be fun!
Are we going to try and touch some pussy, Lewis?
It's a slingshot, though!
I heard Reeve went on a lad's holiday somewhere.
What?
Didn't you?
When?
In life.
Plenty, yeah.
When?
Where did you go?
Why do you always do these things?
You know what you have a frat.
He doesn't see, he just looks at you.
Come on, spit it out. Where did you go? Why do you always do these things? You know what you have a track. He doesn't see, he just looks at you. Come on,
spit it out.
Well,
where did you go?
Are you mental?
I've been to both,
I've been to all of the destinations.
How was it?
Was it good fun?
Where?
I don't know.
Wherever you went.
There's no way that was your,
that's the,
I was hoping you might have a couple of stories for us.
Clearly you have a story us I went to Zante
with Joel
when he was
pretending to be
19 and 17
at the time
and three nights
out of the five
that were there
he ended up on
the drip
I'm sure we've
seen him in MAGA
but like an IVF drip
yeah
where's he gone
oh he's on the
thing again
you saw JMX
in MAGA
it was either me
or it was the one
I didn't go on
where my mate
had seen him
in Malia
but I think I might have seen him in MAGA once so either I was the one I didn't go on where my mate's seen him in Magga, but I think I might have
seen him in Magga once.
Either I saw him
or I can't see him.
Was it Magga or Magga?
I didn't go to the Magga one.
You said you saw him in Magga.
Someone,
either me or someone
seen,
I knew it was.
Great story.
That was,
they must have been
raking it in around that point.
That was like
strip FIFA time.
You would have been
fucking living it up. That's where we did go. Yeah. That's where we did go. Do you know what? We made a cross pass in around that point that was like strip FIFA time you would be fucking living it off
that's where we did go
yeah
that's where we did go
yeah because
do you know what
we might have crossed paths
in Mugga
that strip FIFA video
is in my bedroom
what year did you go to
Joe's
massive strip FIFA video
is my childhood bedroom
you should get
well you're just in the bed
behind just like
it's in your childhood
at your house
in Leicester
yeah
that's my
what do your parents say
well he came around
and just...
This is my mate.
Yeah.
Cindy Lou.
Where was...
Where's he from?
Buckinghamshire.
Oh.
Sounds very fancy.
Yeah.
What's this about?
You've got something to tell us?
You've learned...
Oh, fucking...
This is classic.
Let me just read the brief.
Lewis has been learning stuff
and he has something class to tell you.
So what I realise is...
Show and tell. What I realise is there's so much stuff I learned has something class to tell you. So what I realise is... Show and tell.
What I realise is there's so much stuff I learn that I then forget.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like everyone, mate.
Yeah, but what if you start writing it down
and then you can read it back what you've learned?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Like revising.
Not revising, just like nuggets of knowledge.
Revising life.
A nugget of knowledge.
More nuggets.
Not another nugget.
I've got a few
But like one's fucking mental
Actually two are fucking mental
It's fucking poo
So an example
This isn't a great one
But sea otters love to eat butter clams
So that's something I learned
What's a butter clam?
A butter clam?
I don't know
It's a clam
But that's something I learned
So the nugget of information you've learned You don't even know It's a clam. But that's something I learned. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So the nugget of information you've learned,
you don't even know what it is.
No, but can I just say- No, but I know sea otters love to eat butter clams.
Yeah, but what does that mean?
Well, what-
Explain it.
Explain it.
Also, why is that-
That doesn't surprise me.
But isn't it interesting that that's something that I learned,
but unlearned.
But you don't know what butter clam is.
So why didn't you google that
it'd be like you
telling me
no because that
goes on too long
that's just a little
nugget of knowledge
I have
but it's not knowledge
is it
yes it is a knowledge
sea otters also
probably eat like
seaweed
no that's probably
you don't know that
I know that sea otters
eat fish
how do you know
you're telling me
every sea otter in the world sea otters love to eat butter clams people say that dogs otters eat fish. How do you know? You're telling me every sea otter in the world
Sea otters love to eat
butter clams.
People say that dogs
love to eat peanut butter
but my dog doesn't like peanut butter.
I can't remember
where I've seen this either.
Even when it's on my car.
Eat chocolate, they die.
That's not true.
That's not technically true.
That's not true.
Pluto's eating so much chocolate.
Also, cats don't actually like milk.
That also isn't true.
Shakespeare's head is missing.
How mental is that?
Well, that's funny because a lot of people think
that Shakespeare wasn't a real person.
I reckon the rest of his body's done for too long.
By the way, that's bollocks.
That's absolutely bollocks.
You know what I found out the other day?
There's no record of Shakespeare ever being alive.
So how do they have his body?
That is the biggest load of shit.
What about all of his fucking bodies?
What about all the plays
there's no record
people think
well Warwick wouldn't exist
without him
who's writing all the plays
there's no
record of
a guy called
William Shakespeare
but who is Shakespeare then
people think that
maybe it's a group
of people
that create stories
and put them down
as William Shakespeare
no no
think about it
he's one of the most famous
sorry it's not Warwick
it's Stratford think about He's one of the most famous... No, sorry, it's not Boric, it's Stratford, isn't it?
Think about it, right?
One of the most famous writers of all time,
but there is no record of him ever being alive
apart from his name.
Well, maybe it's a pen name then.
Maybe it's a fake name, but it's a different person.
Either way, whoever they buried Bickford at him
has no head.
Maybe his birth certificate isn't William Shakespeare,
but his alias is William Shakespeare.
It's like someone said...
Shakespeare's real
name was recorded
as Glamis
Shakespeare at
his baptism in
1564 which is
the Latin word
for William
you prove it
though he called
himself Will in
his sonnets and
most of his
contemporaries
referred to him
as William
Shakespeare
there you go
so it's safe to
say this was his
name
prove it though
yeah but there's
no record of him
that's just hearsay it's just hearsay no it's just there will this was his name. Prove it though. Yeah, but there's no record of him. People just, that's just hearsay.
It's just hearsay.
No, it's just a pen name, isn't it?
No, because there will be like a birth record
or like a dental record or something like that.
In 1564.
There'll be a birth record.
Can we just get the NHS website, please?
Is there a William Shakespeare book?
No, you're mocking me because it's me,
but I'm telling you now.
No, it's because you're being silly.
These fathers' coffin with no head.
No, they didn't.
That's the metal bit. Who do we believe guys?
Why are we fixing on this? One corner we have
a headless William and the
other corner we have no
William.
But is there a metal
like did they bury him without the head
or did someone come in afterwards and steal the head?
It could have been taken off from
his skeleton rather than decapitated. Here we go. But when? Here we go. Why? Here we go afterwards and steal the head? Yeah, but it could have been taken off from his skeleton rather than decapitated.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Why?
Here we go.
Who has his head?
I got it right here, if you don't believe me.
Who?
There is no hard evidence at all that Shakespeare wrote the plays.
What's the website that you're reading from?
Nothing to do with him existing.
Yeah, you said the opposite.
Or existed anywhere.
No, what's that?
What's the website? What's the website?
What's the source?
What is the source?
Williamshakespeare.co.uk.
Also, I can't find anything about Shakespeare's head.
So, no, they did a scan of the coffin.
They did a scan of the coffin and there's no head in there.
Oh, hang on.
After experts.
Oh, my God.
There's no fucking head who.
That's what I'm talking about
they fucking
Nor who
Nor Hedo
oh they reckon
after a high tech
investigation
concluded
the legendary
playwright of school
was probably bummed
was probably taken
by trophy hunters
more than 200 years ago
they took his skull
they would have
taken
you know William Shakespeare he wouldn't have still had skin Shakespeare was actually gay as well it was more than 200 years ago. They took his skull. They would attack him.
You know,
William Shakespeare...
He still had skin.
Oh,
this brings me on the crazy...
Shakespeare was actually gay as well.
Do you know that?
I'm not even joking.
He was gay.
But he didn't exist.
Well,
if he did exist.
Right,
okay.
What?
So,
what?
Well,
think about it.
The group of writers
could all be gay.
It was just
an old school
booming brigade.
No,
it's not gay.
Even Chris, do you know the Vatican, right? They have this thing underground, it was just it was just an old school bumming brigade no it's not okay even crazy this so like
do you know the Vatican
right
they have like
this thing
underground
somewhere I learned
where they like
keep stuff
like children
like a vault
yeah
like little choir boys
so like the things
in there
it could be Shakespeare
it could be Shakespeare's
head in there
for all we know
apparently they have
a time machine
oh yeah
of course they do
yeah
where it's like
I had to go to the artist down there as well.
No, no.
This is not a fact.
I think your brain's down there as well.
You can't include this in the same bracket
as C or Z in fucking clams.
So it was made,
I can't remember the name,
so it was made between like this religious group
and loads of scientists.
Illuminati.
Tom Cruise made it.
That could be.
Illuminati in Italy.
But there are
there are a lot of
instances where it's like
don't look at me like that
what
are you about to talk
about the Simpsons
there's a lot of instances
where it's like
time travel people
have been spotted
right
there's one
there's one
at the Kennedy shooting
someone's on the phone
yeah someone's on the phone
there's one where
there's a video of someone
saving himself
from getting hit by a car
could it not have been a radio
I've seen that sorry sorry to say that okay There's one where there's a video of someone saving himself from getting hit by a car. Could it not have been a radio?
I've seen that.
Sorry.
Sorry to say that again.
It's a video or an image of someone saving themselves from getting hit by a car.
Yeah.
You're the type of guy that thinks those Zach King videos are real.
No, not all of them are real.
Do you think Bigfoot's real?
There's a possibility that they used to exist. Probably extinct now. Loch Ness Monster? Still going? No, that one of them are real, but the... Do you think Bigfoot's real? There's a possibility that they used to exist,
probably is extinct now.
Loch Ness Monster?
Still going?
No, that one's bullshit.
Santa?
No, but no, the one way he saves himself,
I mean, hit by a car, that's pretty fucking mental.
It's on CCTV.
Bigfoot back in the day? Wait, you ever seen The Avengers?
No, no, no.
So it's CCTV of someone, like, just there on his phone,
and a geezer comes walking behind him,
and like, just without doing anything, taps him on his phone and a geezer comes walking behind him and like just
without doing
anything
taps him on the
shoulder and
walks away
and the guy
looks around
and he's like
away from his
phone
sees the car
coming and
gets out the
fucking way
so there's not
a video or a
photo of him
pulling himself
away from a car
he has the
random black on
the shoulder
fucks off
and then they
start walking
down the
street
incognito
because if you
pull him
then he's
going to say
he's like to say he's
like ah
that's me
it's like
superman
doesn't actually
fly it's a movie
it's fake
that's not
that's not
no but that
how do you know
that wasn't just
a random man
they weren't the
same clothes
shut up man
I'll leave you
to find this video
it is mental
it is mental
nah it actually is
have you been to the
two guys with the same clothes
when you've got
right
the same person
wants to
it does make you think
it does make you think
if you were a time traveller
going back
and you're trying to
keep yourself low key
you wouldn't wear the same clothes
as the guy you're saving
if I was time travelling
and I'd go and interact
with my previous self
I probably wouldn't wear
the exact same clothes
I had on before
it's a good
argument against
that one
but it's still
crazy
last one
this one is
fucking mental
and also probably
not a fact
based off the
the only thing
crazy here
is you
you are fucking
you don't know
what's in the
Vatican
you're fucking
doolally mate
and none of this
makes any sense
wait so you're
suggesting that
the Vatican has
loads of shit
this guy that's
time travelled
in the same
clothes presumably what it's like a bishop's gown it's like a wait so you're suggesting the Vatican has loads of shit this guy that's time travelled in the same clothes
presumably what
it's like a
yeah
bishop's gown
it's like a
it's just stood in the street
he's using the Vatican
time travel system
to go and save
his previous
no but if time travel
is possible
there might be like
several that they made
back then
I don't know why
it's hooked in with the religion
but like the Vatican
they might have like
the great Alexandria
books as well
it isn't great library of Alexandria you heard of that yeah but books
books survive longer than humans like you see they burned it down but you know speaking of
that there was a library secret knowledge in rome or wherever it was that got burnt down
and it had all of history's uh what he's on about the great library of alexandria this
conversation is unbelievable are you talking about...
Are you talking about the library...
Have you gone,
yeah, there was this library.
I can't believe people listen to this.
Wait, you're talking about
the library that burnt down in Rome
and it had all the history.
All the history.
The biggest library ever, yeah.
Yeah.
And it burnt down
and they lost all the history.
Yeah.
It could have had the secrets
to how the pyramids were built and that.
Yeah, aliens aliens time machines
can we not
last one
so there is one person
I'm going to give you
a guess of this
if I was to say
the one person
who has destroyed
the world
the most
Genghis Khan
Hitler
Genghis Khan
Hitler
good guesses yeah
God
that was deep
it was actually
Gabriel Princip.
Do you know who he is?
Does he create plastic?
So he is a guy
who was 19 years old
and he destroyed the world
and caused World War I, II
and everything bad
that's happened since.
How?
Explain.
So I haven't got the...
I should have
jotted more details here.
You can't just say
one random name
that's 19
and ruin the world.
Didn't Hitler start World War I?
A real butterfly effect, weird.
Maybe we caused a future war,
which doesn't help this.
No, what I remember is,
he was 19 years old
and didn't like this guy
from another country.
And he fucking murdered him,
like a silly 19-year-old.
And that caused a butterfly effect
between all the countries,
which caused World War I,
which then also caused World War II,
because Hitler was in World War I. And also caused World War II because Hitler was in
World War I
and he was like
this is fucking bullshit
Germany's been done over
by this deal
and then that's caused
World War II
and it's all from
this little 19 year old
that's not technically true
because Hitler wanted
to create a super race
he did do that
but his main anger
was because
after World War I
everyone was sort of there
and they were like
oh
all of us have been
fucked here
no one's getting
out of anything so apparently everyone was like right Germany and they were like oh all of us all of us have been fucked in no one's getting anything out of anything
so apparently everyone was like
right Germany
you're doing all these sanctions
he assassinated
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
that's who you're
oh there's not
so this guy
sorry
sorry
sorry
hang on one second
you've just said
this guy killed this bloke
and it called the world
you're talking about
the guy who assassinated
Franz Ferdinand
yeah yeah
that's who you're talking about yeah yeah are you fucking who assassinated Franz Ferdinand yeah yeah that's who you're talking about
yeah yeah
are you fucking serious
it's Franz Ferdinand
I don't know
oh my god
yeah he started it
he started it
this 19 year old
mate as if you just said
he murdered some guy
I did
it's like saying
the guy who killed JFK
yeah he just
I thought it was the guy
who murdered someone
oh they really
so they really liked the someone otherwise we would have
been
you've talked about
the guy who
assassinated
Franz Ferdinand
who's Franz Ferdinand
then
he used to rule
like Russia or
something
yeah but like a
little 19 year old
off his own back
doing that
was it Russia he
ruled Franz Ferdinand
or was it
that's like me
killing someone
and then me
causing a war over it
no one sent me to do it I just did it because I'm an idiot that's okay but that's like me killing someone and then me causing a war over it. No one sent me to do it.
I just did it because I'm an idiot.
That's okay.
But that's like saying that America caused 9-11 then.
Well, I'm sorry,
but I passed you on some good nuggets there.
You didn't know that before.
None of them are useful.
And also you missed out a huge...
I also have birds have funny names.
I feel more stupid now than I did before you told me.
I have birds have funny names.
What? I think you should never. I have birds have funny names. What?
I think you should never ever, ever do that again.
I've seen some bird names.
And I think in future you should wear a helmet
in public.
I'm trying to find the bird.
Is this come from when I said we should all bring a fact to each?
Sombrette tit.
Dick sissel. Red rum to bush ty Sombra tit. Dick sissel.
Red-rumped bush tyrant.
Blue tit.
Blue-footed booby.
But where's the knowledge?
It's just like the birds.
Do you understand why a lot of them are called tits?
No.
That's funny.
Where do you think the name tit comes from?
Yeah, but booby.
Where does it come from?
Can you think of any other animal?
They have large breasts, don't they?
Is that really genuinely why?
Woodcock?

Okay, next week
we'll give you
one more chance.
I did one,
I did two dreams
this week.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
I just got a dream
and we're going to hear it.
Or I had one the other day
but I can't remember it.
That's why we got
right on down.
Yeah, I know.
The second dream
I don't really want to say
because it's really weird but the first dream
it was about you again
oh my god
it was on Monday night
Reeve wanted to quit High Rocks because he didn't
have enough time to watch videos and podcasts
about it to learn
you were really stressed
about how
you were like no I can't do it
I can't do it
I haven't listened to
enough videos about it
like you were really nervous
that you
you actually do just dream
about stuff that happens
it is just on his life
like this is the most
pointless diary ever
so you were nervous
you wanted to quit
because you didn't do it
no but you were doing
High Rocks
and you do podcasts
you've done High Rocks
you just dream about
it's weird
it's so uncreative
and then the second one
I didn't write down
because I felt weird.
I was eating a cheesecake.
No, I was in like, it must have been like Italy or somewhere.
And we were on a running track.
But at the same time, it was also London.
Like the running track was in London at Mile End.
But we were in Italy.
And I was doing a track session with Will Gouge, William Gouge.
But it just wasn't him.
William Shakespeare?
He's like an ultra marathon runner. But it wasnode yeah but it just wasn't him william shakespeare he's like an ultra marathon runner but it will but it wasn't him so it wasn't him no it was him but it
wasn't him that's like it didn't look like him but it was him that doesn't make sense exactly
