Let's get into it.
Our bodies are the containers.
I risked being different.
With nothing but love.
Stories that heal.
Share yours.
Together, we are unsinkable.
We are unsinkable.com the new Europa League football, and I loved it. And these group of like 16 year olds come over,
just took my balls, just wouldn't give me back.
And they just booted it in the tree.
Character building.
This man has ran a PB in the marathon.
Thank you.
We've got a Q vlog coming up against Wafflin.
He absolutely promised me he'd be good at some of them
because he played basketball.
I was more successful in basketball
than you were in football.
Two levels below international level.
I don't believe that.
That's what I'm...
Or warfare eventually, it'll be just like fought between drones.
What about...
There won't be wars anymore, because if there is a war, someone gets nuked and we all die.
No, we'll be using dinosaurs.
We're all likely to get world peace.
Well, think about it.
Unwoke television programmes.
Yeah, like... Little Britain. Balls of Steel. Correct. Comedy is crap now. Well think about it Unwoke television programs Yeah
Little Britain
Balls of Steel
Correct
Comedy is crap now
I had a near death experience
I'm riding down this thin road
And this car
I swear to god
It was going like
80 miles an hour
It was Dom Toretto
Let's make a promise
To the listener
That we will not
Talk over each other
And thank you for
50,000 subscribers
Lewis has become Everything he hates By the way First of all Dad shoes, Theo. That we will not talk over each other. And thank you for 50,000 subscribers.
Lewis has become everything he hates, by the way.
First of all, he started running.
Second of all, he's now cycling and he's getting Lycra.
You know what's crazy?
Him holding a coffee there is like,
that is prime Theo Baker in a snapshot.
You actually do look like Theo Baker.
It's crazy how much you've moulded into him.
I'm starting to realise.
Well, you do imprint off the people
who you're around the most.
And I'm choosing Theo.
Well, no, you're the average
of the five people
I could have became a shagger,
an athlete,
or...
Speaking of athlete,
who do you think is going to win the Masters?
Because we should put it out there.
Oh!
Rory.
Bafia.
Actually, Batiya.
Batiya, yeah.
He's 50 to 1.
On all that,
I've got Potter Cup coming up
at the end of the month.
How do you know all the odds of the players?
So I'm going to have a bet on it?
On the Potter Cup?
No.
You're not playing golf again.
I am.
I'm playing the Potter Cup at the end of the month.
No, you're not.
I'm doing that bike ride and then I'm doing Potter Cup a week later and then I'm getting surgery. That's the plan. You're not playing golf again. I am. I'm playing a pot of cup at the end of the month. No, you're not. I'm doing that bike
ride and then I'm
doing pot of cup a
week later and then
I'm getting surgery.
That's the plan.
You picked it in?
No.
Wow, you really are
just following in his
footsteps.
Yeah.
This is crazy.
No, but like
obviously we lost
really badly last year.
It's weird, mate.
I copy everything I do.
Doing a bike ride,
a golf,
and then surgery.
Then surgery after
when it's needed.
That's like the...
Weird.
Drinking a cappuccino in my jacket.
Did you say Rory, by the way?
Yeah, I think Rory Dog's got it.
I'm not my golf man.
Rory Dog!
By the way, unlike yous,
I know what it's like to compete
at the highest level of golf.
No, you don't.
I will say, actually,
I'm the only one who's sort of
had experience of playing
in front of a crowd.
What's that got to do with anything?
I mean, in terms of a crowd of people's that got to do with anything? I mean, in terms of like a crowd
of people that don't know you,
yeah,
I suppose so.
I play like actual
competitive golf,
but you know,
it doesn't matter.
What's this got to do
with us predicting
who's winning the Masters?
Yeah,
what does it have to do
with you and Pottercup?
I used to talk about
Masters and golf.
I just brought up Pottercup.
So why is it happening
so early this year,
the Pottercup?
It's actually,
it's more that last year
it happened later.
It's a mixture of,
we have a mate who's like goes travelling and that he's moving off to canada fucking boring so we
have to do it earlier in the year he has to find himself again how are you going to play golf when
you don't have an acl this is what i'm saying you can't play you can't rotate well no this is the
problem i have i have to play because the tournament must be played so i i will not be
playing without you can't you be designated every player play. Lou, why can't you do like,
I'll be the designated putter or the driver?
No, it has to be strict.
It's strict rules, man.
You can't have a stunt double standing.
We've been through this.
You know how important this is.
Do you not have any other friends that can play?
No, not one of the putters, though.
It's kind of a deep law.
Yeah, they're not one of the putters.
Lou, you're not going to hit your driver, are you?
No, I'm thinking I'm going to steal a hybrid
and play really soft on it. I think it's actually going to improve my game Lou, you're not going to hit your driver, are you? No, I'm thinking I'm going to steal a hybrid and play really soft.
And I think it's actually going to improve my game.
I think because normally I'm trying to hit far.
Take a seven iron on every tee shot.
Yeah.
I think play it really slow.
Good shot game.
Don't use the hybrid.
That's a silly,
silly idea.
Yeah.
I'm probably just going to end limp banana.
But like,
if we win the potter cup,
it's fucking beast mode and it's worth it.
You lost it back to back years.
Yeah.
I'm sort of one of the,
of the belief that we're never going to win it ever again.
How many...
You're just going to keep getting
continuously beat by it
when you go,
oh, fuck it, man.
No, we all play every year,
but we've already won once at least.
Hear me out.
You get Reeve
to wear glasses,
Adidas tracksuit.
Do you want to come to Lancashire
at the end of the month?
You're doing it in Lancashire?
I think so.
Why aren't they doing it abroad?
Mate, I think it's just
like money things.
Sorry, you're sending me
to the arse end of Burnley
to pretend I'm here.
I don't know if it's Lancashire.
I don't know where it is.
It's somewhere.
But someone couldn't afford it,
basically.
They fucked up their money.
Let's face it,
they ain't going to notice
there's something new in Lou.
That's true.
Two athletes in their prime.
Well, no, now I'm more you.
You should come.
What are you more nervous for?
The pot or cup or the bike ride?
The bike ride.
I think the bike ride
is one of those things where...
Can we show the video of Lewis
trying out his new bike?
Yeah.
The problem is
with the bike riders,
I've never done anything
on my legs anyways,
never mind fucking me leg.
Why don't they go
just on their phone, by the way?
Sorry, I was just getting rid of...
I'm doing my master's picks.
So it's quite relevant.
You could do that after the show.
You're on a podcast.
I'm responding.
Also, says him, by the way. That're on a podcast. I'm responding. says him by the way.
That's bad from you.
I'm responding to everything
that's been mentioned so far.
No, but as a listener,
if you're not engaged
in the conversation,
they're not engaged.
You just thought your phone
went, yeah.
It's a visual podcast.
Yeah, say sorry.
Ooh, fucking hell.
Terrible phone.
Should we have our discussion?
Yeah, before we're
rudely interrupted by Rhys.
Rudely interrupted by yourself saying that I was on my phone?
That's exactly what happened.
Just because you're replying.
If someone is at dinner,
if I'm having a dinner with Lou,
and he's talking to me,
but he's on his phone half-arsing it,
I think that's rude as hell.
Actually, you're not going to open up as much.
Why didn't no one ask me who my master's pick was then?
Exactly, yeah?
You're fucking rude.
That is true.
Conversation goes both ways.
No one cares.
Yeah, exactly.
We were going to ask you. Actually, I went like this. But you didn't see me. Because you're on your phone lawyer conversation goes both ways no one cares yeah exactly we were going to ask you actually I went like this
but you didn't see me
because you're on your phone
gaslighting again
it was true I was there
right
you had a bike
that was too small for you
and you got gaslit
everyone's telling me
that it's the right size
no it was way too small for you
yeah I mean
and to value your opinions
or Elliot Hackney's
it's like
he doesn't know anything about it
I know
well actually no
he's a former
Olympic
cycler
he used to do
the drone race
and he said he was
in the Olympics
cycler
who?
Elliot
oh he was trying
to get in the Olympics
yeah he used to
ride around the drone
the velodrome
is this a joke?
that's what he told me
that can't be true
that's what I mean
but like
but like he seems
on the Paralympics
no but he seems like calmly
confident about the bike ride so if you listen to this it's basically 60 kilometers bike ride
from burton stadium to stoke um but it should be all right surely that's like uh he's only
legs are too short he's a little bastard to be fair i do think it's probably like it's more like
the the running where it's like it's best off not knowing He's a little bastard to be fair. I do think it's probably like, it's more like the running
where it's like,
it's best off not knowing
how shit it's going to be.
What are you doing again?
It's only 60 kilometers.
Mate, it's 60K.
It won't be that shit.
It'll be a couple hours.
That'll be like running 10K.
5K.
No, it'll be more like 10K.
But is it like running?
Nah, biking's way easier.
I'm more worried about the knee.
Well, no, it isn't.
It would be.
No, because an Olympic triathlon
is 5K run and 20k ride
what
and a sprint
an Olympic is a 10k run
because they're running
13k
they're sending it
but he's
taking all day
to do 60k
don't diminish
what you're trying to do
no no but it's over
no diminish him
I'm an inspiration
he's literally over
the course of the day
he can take as long
as he wants
that is the equivalent
of walking in 5k
he's aspiring
all those out there with no ACLs I am yeah true actually and then I'm going to win the pot of walking in five minutes. He's aspiring all those out there
with no ACLs.
I am.
Yeah, true, actually.
And then I'm going to win
the Potter Cup
and then I'm going to have surgery
and then I'm going to come back
and become champion of misfits
before it collapses.
If it's still around.
Yeah, if it's still around.
I think it's all around.
I think I'm going to put the...
just stop the surgery.
You've now got a new bicycle.
Thanks, Daddy.
Thanks, Daddy Theo.
Give me a bike.
Don't lose it, though.
I said to him,
you'd better not lock that up outside.
It's hard to ride it, isn't it?
How can you lose a bike? Hard to ride it? I miss the line bikes. Just like riding a bike.'t lose it though I said to him you better not lock that up outside it's hard to ride it innit how can you lose a bike
hard to ride it
get stolen
I'm used to line bikes
the last bike I had
that wasn't electrical
oh yeah that's true
if you're used to a line bike
nah he went on my bike
earlier this morning
he was all over the place
I had to teach him
how to use gears
you're not using clips surely
I've only ever had a BMX
I took the clips off this one
I put normal pedals on
you should have
given him the clips to try
with the shoes
and gone right
let's see how you do
and then just watch him
fall over.
No,
I did that once.
It's fucking embarrassing.
Do you know what?
I was going to do that
but I actually thought
I'm going to take him off
because I don't think
his knee will be
able to get out.
Oh yeah,
he can't.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I think if he clips in
he'll be stuck on the bike.
I am quite nervous
because I put it in chat
the other day.
I was on a bike
the other day
on the way home from work and it almost died. You didn the other day. I was on a bike the other day on the way from work
and it almost died.
You didn't nearly die.
I had a near-death experience.
No, you didn't.
I did.
You just weren't there.
They overtook you too close
and you thought you were going to die.
Nah, okay.
So let me properly spell it out for you.
So if I said this story,
they'd all call me dumb boy.
Yeah, no.
Dumb boy.
Nah, nah, nah.
I'm almost died.
So riding home after a stream. I'm almost died. So riding home after a stream.
I'm almost died.
Okay.
We've heard it.
Oh, no, they haven't though, have they?
Yeah.
And it's a little thin road
and I had my headphones in
so I can't hear much.
It doesn't have a hammer.
It's your own fault immediately.
Also, if you're cycling, yeah,
you should only have the one
that's away from traffic.
Or transparency mode.
Yeah, I understand that.
No.
So really.
Oh, don't do that either.
It's kind of self-inflicted, mate.
I like getting in there.
I like pretending I'm in a film.
Can I ask you something, Luke?
Were you wearing a helmet?
What film is it? The Elephant Man? Were you wearing a helmet? What film is it?
The Elephant Man.
Were you wearing a helmet?
No.
My helmets are kind of for losers, I decided, until...
You get 20% off on time as well, actually.
It's not legal.
Yeah, you do, yeah.
Anyways, I'm riding down this thin road,
and this car, I swear to God,
it was going like fucking 80 miles an hour,
fucking bombed by.
You don't have to wear one on a scooter.
No, you don't have to.
It's just encouraged.
Yeah.
And you're more likely
to die if you get hit.
Anyway, he bombs past us
in an 80 mile an hour
and he was close as fuck.
It was like very tight
with double parked
on each side
and I'm just on the left.
Just bombs by.
And luckily,
I didn't shit myself
and wiggle
because I had no idea
he was there
because like a second later
his mate goes bombs by
and they were literally
right up each other's ass.
And then you could see him
brake testing his mate
for the reward,
like joking on like,
I shit myself,
like I almost died.
So where's the bit
that you actually came into
close death experience?
So the problem is,
if I genuinely,
no, genuinely,
when that first one came by,
by the way,
it's as close as me and Tom are together.
That's for an 80 mile an hour car.
If he just nicked me a little bit,
I'm going flying.
So he was going 80 in a 30?. If he just nicked me a little bit, I'm going flying. So he was going
80 in a 30?
Yeah, he's a fucking idiot.
Right.
I immediately
don't believe that.
Nah, mate,
he was going crazy.
No one does 80 in a 30.
These guys.
I reckon,
I reckon he was doing 36.
It was Dom Toretto.
36 max.
Apart from me,
it's bad though.
My instant thought
after almost dying was,
fuck, I wish i was vlogging
that because like i normally have a little video going on my way back i think they were i think
they thought you were cycling mikey but genuinely if i just flinched a little bit off that first one
the other one was so quick like you could have just got me fucking flying you're saying you
survived because of how hard you are you didn't flinch the worst yeah yeah i didn't want to say
myself the worst thing is though the last thing i would have seen is him without a beard and the last person i would have
spoke to was theo that's a scary last i mean scary last image but that that's that's part and
parcel of your normal life anyway like on your travel home that's how you would yeah so if you
do die on the way home that's exactly how you're gonna go right jokes aside obviously it wasn't a
proper near-death experience but I won't say it was.
But I was at home and I was there
and I wasn't shaking up,
but I was thinking,
I was like, that's mad.
If I just died there,
like Theo would be at my funeral.
You could say that about anything.
You'd have to number one recite
the last conversation we had,
which would have been...
Don't die on the way home.
You do realise...
Using my morning family,
watching Theo.
Theo was the last person who spoke to Lewis. What did you
say to him, Theo? I told him to wear a helmet. He said
no, he'd be cool for it.
I wouldn't go to your funeral.
But there's not...
Why are you not invited?
How do you know? You're not inviting
people. You're dead. You're dead?
You know, you're...
Actually, I might go just to make sure you're
definitely dead.
I hate watching this.
You want to hear about a real near-death
experience on a bike? Yeah, go on.
Me and Reeve and Callum, Freezy, were
there. Do you remember that? In Richmond?
Oh, yeah.
On your phone, in the podcast. Wow.
Oh, my God. Wow.
It's podcast prep.
It's podcast prep. It's podcast prep.
Wow.
It's podcast prep.
It's podcast prep.
It's podcast prep.
This is a real need.
This is a real need.
This is a real need.
Oh, if you tell me the plane story though.
So we were going across the dual carriageway.
We went across and we waited at the lights to cross over the next section.
Yeah, we understand what a dual carriageway is.
You know that you were talking about the clips.
If you tried it, it'd fall over.
Well, this is when I was new to the clips.
And as I was waiting at the red light,
I couldn't unclip, fell into the traffic.
Yeah, it did happen.
My head went on the floor and it was a dual carriageway.
And it just so happens there was a car coming on the other side of the road.
But if it was on the inside of the road,
my head would have been splattered into a million pieces.
So he was probably further away than the car was to Lewis.
Yeah, I can't believe he's playing down my wall.
It's like me saying I fell off a bike when I was a kid,
but if a meteor hit me when I fell off,
I would have died.
You did claim that you nearly died
by getting overtaken by two cars, though.
I ate a man on the road without a helmet.
I fell head first in the dual carriageway.
Yeah, but there was no cars there.
On the other side of the road.
Well, then, soon as I...
Sorry, sorry, time out for a second.
Everyone that cycles with cars on the road
can't see the cars coming.
They're behind them.
Or they come the other way, mate,
and you can't see them coming.
No, if a car overtakes you,
it comes from a direction
you're not looking in.
I know, but if they sped this way,
at least I knew they were coming.
I had no hearing
and I couldn't see them.
But you should knock your way
in double head fans.
You're trying to claim it.
It was near death.
It did get me thinking
neither of them were near death.
Which is closer to near death?
Mine or his?
Well, I mean, you actually couldn't move, so yours. You could have... That was like a turtle on its get me thinking neither of them were near death. Genuinely. Which is closer to near death? Mine or his? Well, I mean,
you actually couldn't move,
so yours.
You could have...
That was like a turtle
on its back in the middle of the road.
Have you almost ever died?
Surely.
Surely.
Surely.
1.6am in a kitchen.
Have you ever almost killed?
Yeah.
Oh, when I had my crash with Jack, yeah.
It did get me...
Oh, no, the other one
was when I got stuck in the slide.
That was near death.
I could have died.
I think you've said this before.
It's not near death.
It felt like it.
Is this where your dad was tossing you off in the slide?
Well, I don't remember that bit.
That's what he told us on episode one.
I knew when you did the high rocks.
That was near death.
No, it wasn't.
Okay.
Do you almost die?
Or was it the plane one, your closest one?
Oh, the plane was bad. I never felt that that was near death though um but you're hard as nails no but everyone else around me felt like oh
my god we're really struggling now i'm like chip said goodbye to yeah he actually did you know he
started texting sabine and being like i really love you also the air hostesses were also saying
thank god we're alive yeah it's pretty morbid though when you're on a plane and they all
could just go brace brace yeah and it's like a fucking yeah it's like a whole ritual and you're
like hang on that's my dream yeah and it's all it did finally i was swimming once in like in a
river in france but like to cross it was quite a long swim you told us this yeah i had the shoes
on i thought i was gonna die that was not near death either i felt i felt i got to the end i said oh i've made
it it did get me like no when i go home right i'll sit there and like i was thinking it was
mad like charlie would have been message message and like like what would she do in that and it
got me thinking like what when you're there and you're like nearly dying you have an either
experience it sort of gives you an epiphany. And you just wouldn't stand.
You did that sort of thing I do there.
Did you do that?
What, the entire get-up?
Yeah.
But it got me thinking like,
would everything you...
I've got robbed at knife point.
That's near death.
Have you?
Really?
I've done like year seven, but...
Damn.
Fucking robbing year seven's at knife point.
Yeah, that's on my phone.
I was like, yeah, okay, you can have it.
Yeah, it's like, mate,
no knife is necessary.
If you're seven, you can have it. If you're 30, okay, you can have it. Yeah, it's like, mate, all life is necessary. If you're a seven, you can have it.
If you're 30, you can have it.
Yes, you may have it.
Yes, you may.
I've only got Snake on it.
That was an E900, man.
Oh, man, I was so gutted.
I wonder where that is.
E900.
A Samsung E900.
You've never had one of them?
I might be near, right, actually.
Is that the slidey one?
Oh, man, I was so gutted.
Oh, they were big.
Such a sick phone, man.
I had the Nokia
equivalent though
but I don't know
what the number was
and then my dad
wouldn't let me
he wouldn't buy me
another one for ages
I don't know why
he blamed me
for getting my phone
robbed
from like 15 year olds
I was only like 11
you know that happened
not with the knife
but with me and Gibb
in Ukraine
you got robbed
by monkeys though so not with a knife and but with me and Gib in Ukraine. You got robbed by monkeys, though.
So not with a knife and by a monkey.
Well, no, the monkey was the distraction.
Next thing you know, we were surrounded by all these...
Other monkeys.
Yeah, and guns.
Not guns, and guys.
There was loads of monkeys.
He had a fucking nappy on.
No, no.
We were like, oh, look at this cute monkey with a nappy.
Let's take a photo.
Then he was like, yeah, now pay us for the photo.
Are you sure it weren't him?
They walked us 20 minutes
to a cash point.
For a monkey photo.
Me and Gibb were shitting it.
We were like,
we don't know what's in their pockets.
We went under like an underpass
with them.
Why?
You just said no.
Was there no one else about?
They took us out of the,
it was the Champions League Festival.
They took us out.
Yeah, but just see,
I'm not going to say no say There's loads of people here
There's a lot of witnesses
You're not going to kill me here
When there's like
Seven blokes around you
It is a bit like
Intimidating
Not just to be like
No
No
But you know
It's annoying
It's annoying though
Because when they took us
Just us
When there was no one there
That was quite scary
Yeah that
Because you let everyone
You put yourself in that situation
Yeah we realised that in hindsight
When there's thousands of people around,
I don't think I'd be that intimidated.
They're probably just walking the mall.
Help!
Help!
They're walking the mall thinking,
I can't believe they're following.
The frustrating thing is that when we got to the cash point,
we got money out and they were like,
no, get more out.
Well, yeah, but then they had to buy the mollusks.
Do you know what's worse?
I said, fuck no.
By the way, that's definitely.
And then do you know what happened?
We walked off, they did nothing.
I was like brilliant
I knew death
You got wrong
The worst
Primal wars
Of all time
You don't know
They could have had a gun
Or something
We really thought
The nappy monkey
Would do the trick
You know
That usually works
It was scary
It was scary
Monkey falls out two bananas.
Corporal Willy Wally.
God, he's got a big cock.
Oh, it's a banana.
Just pulls you out, shoves you up your arse.
Sorry.
I started searching up people anyways who like life work,
like accumulated to, what it accumulated to and like,
was it worth it?
And I found the guy who invented the smiley face.
Brilliant.
Was it me?
No, actually, no, it's not you.
Although that's a great clip. But this guy basically spent his whole life perfecting the smiley face brilliant was it me no actually no it's not you but that's a great
clip but this guy basically spent his whole life perfecting the smiley face the emoji no the potato
no no before that just a picture of a smiley face oh no he made the first smiley face how can that
ever be well it's not fucking hard he spent his like life life designing a smiley face. And it ended up going worldwide.
How can you spend your life drawing fucking smiley faces?
Two dots, a half circle, and then a full circle.
Yeah, but there's more to it, isn't there?
It's more like the length of the smile.
Does it have dimples?
Does it not?
That sounds like a guy who has a lot of smiley hands.
The shape of the eyes.
Anyways, it went viral.
It made him hundreds of millions of pounds.
But do you want to see him pause it?
No, it didn't.
No, it didn't.
Do you want to see him?
How did it make him hundreds of millions of pounds but do you want to see him no he didn't do you want to see him how did it make him hundreds of millions of pounds
because he invented
what do you mean
he invented the smiley face
so every time
he would just put
a little TM or R
in the bottom corner
did he copyright
the smiley face
yeah
there's disputes and stuff
but like
he eventually finished it
when he was like 80
and by the time
he finished it
this is a picture of him
with his final smiley face and look how fucking miserable he is isn't it meant so this is like the cheek
thing i've actually seen that so isn't it isn't it mental like that's the creator of the smiley
face he's put all of his energy into the fucking picture if i died that's how you know me that's
how you know like that smiley face
isn't realistic
because he was drawing it
because he's never
fucking smiled in his life.
It's crazy though.
That doesn't look like
a millionaire to me.
That's the,
that's the,
that's the draw,
that's the hero
of the smiley face.
Are you saying right now
that you had a realisation
of that you need to start
living in the moment
and be happy now
instead of stressing
over every minute thing?
Yeah.
Is that what you're saying?
I could copyright
like drawing a cup. You did. That's obviously what I'm a card everything we've said to you over the last year or so
you now believe is to be true perhaps damn you've opened your eyes
pretending i had it all together i need to escape circumstances. I am not a doormat.
Stories that heal.
Share yours.
Together, we are unsinkable.
We are unsinkable.com.
Not too much.
Oh, God.
God, God.
Yeah, man, but that's the guy who drew a smiley face.
Can I genuinely...
What did you show with that?
Did he make money off that picture then?
Yeah, there's loads of copyright disputes,
because people are using it as like,
it's a smiley face, I'll use it.
But he's like, I fucking invented it.
He didn't though.
I can't believe that.
There should be a film about that.
Well, did you not have the same realisation
when you shaved off your beard?
What, about smiling?
About what's life about.
Well, I haven't always thought what's life about it's still that's
life it's just it's weird looking at snow how has it been being a beardless man how's your life
changed i still want to kill myself i feel like we should probably explain to people here because
there's some people who watch no don't no we can't no no context i think people if they're
fucking there's people who watch or they can go watch the other show. There's no way.
I swear down there is.
It's mostly females.
I don't think that's true.
So the crossover of just people that watch here
and not that show is...
If you know about this,
people come up and they're like,
oh, I love Backside
and they don't know what Pitchside is.
No.
She did the half marathon.
Yeah.
That's a good example.
Oh yeah, there was a woman
listening to Backside in the half marathon.
I met her as well. Her views were ahead of me. example. Oh, yeah, there was a woman listening to backside in the halfback. Yeah Well, I met her as well when you were ahead of me. Yeah speaking of
Achievements, I think a round of applause is in order
No, not you don't clap. Oh, why I'll speak that you don't
This man has ran a PB in the marathon
And you're next
Anyways, so how was it
I was
mate
what a day
Brighton
I honestly think
Brighton might be
one of my favourite
cities in the world
why
I don't think
I've ever been to that
why Brighton
why
well he already
started laughing
before I finished
the sentence
did you know
I don't think
I've ever been to that place
you look like
you'd fit in in Brighton
when it's not being sunny
no you'd look like
you'd fit in there
what are you trying to do here
well I think
seeing that looks like
your like area the seaside there. What are you trying to do here? I'm saying that looks like your area.
The seaside views.
Sunny, fair.
Lovely.
Short, nice.
As you said, eccentric.
You know Brighton's the gay capital of the world?
Right.
I didn't know that, no.
Aidan went to Brighton here recently
and he said there was a lot of gooch.
And he bombed a man!
A lot of gooch?
Yeah, a lot of gooch.
But then that confused me
because I was like...
What does that mean?
Yeah, I was like,
for a lot of gooch,
it's just a lot of people without clothes on. No, that would imply that his personal experience was just like he saw a lot of gooch. But then that confused me because I was like... What does that mean? Yeah, I was like, for a lot of gooch, it's just a lot of people
without clothes on.
No, that would imply
that his personal experience
was just like he saw
a lot of gooch.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Why did he see loads of gooch?
I think people just
didn't wear pants,
he was saying.
What's he on about?
Do you realise
where the gooch is?
Yeah, I don't think
he realised.
Is he like going up
on the people?
But I think it was just like
people just like...
That is a bit of a weird
thing to admit anyway.
I don't know.
Is he might be a perv?
Are you sure he wasn't
winding you up?
Maybe.
People wouldn't do that to me.
Oh yeah,
everyone's very serious
with you all the time
because you're a serious guy.
I am.
People take you seriously.
I'm very philosophical.
People do take you seriously.
They don't laugh at you all.
It is marathon season though.
Prodigy's doing one
at the weekend.
Marathon season.
Chip and Cow are doing the London
and then you're the week
after prod.
No.
Cycling.
No, cycling's less No. Cycling. No,
cycling is less boring.
Cycling,
cycling is genuinely
probably one of the best
sports in the world.
Cycling is pretty fun.
You go and see the world
and it basically costs
zero effort to do so.
And also when you're
going downhill,
you don't have to do anything.
That literally isn't true though,
is it?
That's your legs.
My legs are going to be fucked.
As soon as I hit a hill,
I'm going to kill myself.
You've just said cycling
is you can go and see the world
for no effort.
Yeah.
How does that make any sense?
You can bike the entire way.
No, as in go to the countryside
and stuff.
What?
That's seeing the world.
Have you seen the countryside
in the UK?
Yeah.
I imagine he might have once.
He lives where I'm from.
He's got a lot of countryside.
I think we should all go on a group cycle.
Don't change the subject because you said something stupid.
No, I'm doubling down.
Funny you say that.
I'm doubling down.
All right, then.
If I want to go and see Peru.
Stop being so fucking negative.
How do I get there?
Cycle.
Okay.
I'll cycle to Peru, though.
Would you say that, you know, obviously you're getting married
and you've got
a few stag do's
coming up.
Yeah.
Is there anything
you would like to do
on stag do's?
Because viewers
don't know
on Pitchside
we're doing
Come Stag With Me.
That's on this one.
It's tough mate.
Remembering four podcasts
is difficult.
It's on Backside.
Yeah then Hometown's on
Pitchside.
What the fuck would you do
Come Stag With Me on Pitchside?
Yeah, it's good for you.
I don't actually know, you know.
I've finished my
semi-big event for the year
so I remember just getting pissed.
It's quite cool.
You're getting four stag dudes.
You are.
I'm getting more than that.
What?
Because I'm getting my actual ones as well.
Well, yes, three from us.
That's three from us
and then the actual one.
One stag dude.
Oh, I'm probably going to have two though.
Why would you have two stag dudes?
Because I can't take my dad
and stuff onto the one that... No, you're supposed to. Why not? It's a bit too Oh, I'm probably going to have two though. Why would you have two stag do's? Because I can't take my dad and stuff onto the
one that...
No, you're
supposed to.
Why not?
It's a bit too
I'm going to take...
I'm planning to
remade to one.
I'm going to bring
his dad to Bedadon.
I was going to do...
What are you
planning?
What do you think
is happening on
the stag do?
Just a lot of
crazy shit that I
don't want my dad
to do.
Yeah, he wants
to be...
Yeah, he would
love it.
Like what?
He's a very
innocent man.
I don't...
Yeah, well,
we're going to
corrupt him.
No, he's not,
mate.
You're going to
see a different
side on that
stag do.
You haven't seen
his rap sheet? Yeah. Could he have shagged a prost you're gonna see a different side. I reckon you haven't seen his rap sheet
Yeah, could you have shagged a prostitute? He's a pedophile
There's a pedophile so wait you think you're gonna get strippers in that on your stag do I don't know cuz I'm not planning it
But I mean that usually does happen, doesn't it?
I don't think that's correct. Oh, actually, this is probably embarrassing.
I don't think I've been on a stag do with strippers.
I've never been to...
I haven't.
I've never had lap dance.
I've never.
You've never been on a stag do?
Luke, you went to that...
No, I've only went on one stag do.
Yeah, the first half of the...
You mean...
The first half of the statement of prize.
You went on a stag do.
No, we're just coming up to that age now.
Oh, yeah.
What are you talking about?
Where people are getting married.
Is Tom in charge of your stag do?
Me and Freezy.
That was the original plan, right?
Or the winner of Come Stag With Me.
I was setting that up for you guys.
Yeah, whoever wins Come Stag With Me.
That's fine with me.
I'd love to plan your stag do.
If you'd consider me for the role,
I'll be eternally grateful.
Well, you're obviously all considered.
That's the whole point of the show.
Definitely not going to be rigged.
Well, yeah, that's great
because I haven't had a choice
in what I'm doing for my stack do for you.
Wait, he picked yours?
Basically.
I sort of helped.
Oh, Lewis!
Well, there's two viable options.
Because Theo wants to do this
and I want to do that.
All right, I'm going to do it.
The viable option was,
oh, we'll go to the Cube and F1 our kid
on something we're trying to get sponsored and it's that London bit. No, I I was like, do you think? Just choose it for me then. Oh, we'll go to the Cube and F1 Arcade on something we're trying
to get sponsored
and it's that London base.
Don't ruin the thing.
It's supposed to be
a surprise for me.
No, we're not doing it.
That's not going to be big.
My idea was,
because he was like,
yours has got to be a cheap one.
All right, great.
No, it's not.
Yours is the medium price.
Mine's the cheap one.
You told me it's got to be cheap.
It's cheaper than what you wanted.
And then also,
we could have a day in London
just doing different games
like Flight Club, the Cube, F1 Arcade.
Just getting pissed.
Yeah, great.
It's not a good video.
It's boring.
That's what I mean.
I'm a good producer.
I don't care about the video.
Well, I do care about the video.
That's why I...
We're doing it for him.
No, that's the real one.
That's the real one.
Oh, right.
It's a video.
Sorry.
So I'm not getting three good days out.
No, you are.
I'm just fucking turning up and shooting again.
Trust me, mate.
You're going to have the best one. What about me getting shooting again i don't even know what i'm doing for you now
you know what tom you know he's giving you shit for yours here's one i planned
by the way by the way i can't even the message i can't believe the only thing that he's contributed
i challenge you to say one more thing than this is you've asked the people i need the things i
need from them so without me you have none of it no i've came up with the entire concept and everything
all he's done is send a few messages and he's like oh in the intro please you have to say say
thanks to theo in the intro because he texted a few people all he's done yet come up with an idea
your ego is out of control it actually is because I came up with the entire idea. The only person I owe thanks to
is the people next door there
who helped me a little bit.
You had an idea,
and this one made it happen.
You asked the people I need.
This one made it happen.
No, it's not.
Do I get free shout-outs for
proposing to Meg?
No.
No.
Ugh.
Why would you do that?
No, it's a joke,
because obviously
taking credit in the interest
is a bit weird.
Oh, Tom, you should do a
Sten.
What's that?
A Hendo.
A Hendo.
And a Stag.
It's not the only
M.
We've got a Q
blog coming up
against Waffling
as well.
That'll be our
tune after this.
I'm actually very
jealous that I
couldn't partake in
it.
We could have
done with you.
Bantam's a bit dated
though, isn't it?
Bantam's a bit dated.
We could have
done with that.
Theo was corrupted
that whole time. That'll be our tune. Obviously, I don't want to go too far into Waffling. Oh, yeah't it? Bantam's a bit dated. We could have done with that. Theo was corrupted that whole time.
That'll be all soon.
Obviously, I don't want to go too far.
Oh, yeah.
It's pretty fun.
It's pretty fun.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
The fucking blind cheats,
but yeah, it's fun.
Don't ruin the video.
How long are you in the thing for?
Do you know that?
Yeah, but a lot of that was fanning about.
It would be really fun in like a double date vibe.
Yeah.
Really.
Yeah, it would be really fun.
Or just with your mates.
Yeah, or like a 2v2.
Yeah. It's quite good. Yeah. Really? Yeah, it would be really fun. Or just with your mates. Yeah, or like a 2v2. Yeah.
It's quite good.
We argued quite a lot,
but when we cooked,
it was exciting.
It had the adrenaline.
Them two,
it made me realise
how much better Tom is
at sport than Lewis.
Oh, really?
It's embarrassing.
It weren't even sport.
Yeah, you're right.
Basic catching skills.
Yeah, hand-eye coordination.
He absolutely promised me he'd be good at some of them
because he played basketball.
No, no.
No, no, basketball.
Why?
This is the thing.
This is what was happening.
It was point, point, point.
On the basketball, he was actually on his first attempt.
I never claimed I'd be good at that.
You were worse on the first attempt.
I really wasn't.
You missed the first one.
Oh, yeah, you did first.
I got further than he did.
He got that, and it was all laugh, laugh, laugh.
Wait, wait, wait.
No, yeah, I missed the first bucket. Who got further? Yeah, but also you didn't. Who got further? he did. And it was all laugh, laugh, laugh. Wait, wait, wait. No, yeah, I missed the first bucket.
Who got further?
But also you didn't.
Who got further?
It's all right, you can miss the first one.
I still got further.
You didn't claim to be an ex-professional basketball player.
Thank you.
I didn't even want to do that one.
You said you played National League.
Nah, you're a netball player.
I was National League.
And the one where I took control of that one.
We got that.
No, that was the only time we had actual team work.
When's that coming out? When can we tease the viewers? That will be the end of this month. It will be coming out. We got that. That was the only time we had actual team work. When's that coming out?
When can we teach the viewers?
That will be the end of this month.
It will be coming out.
Who played their sport
at the highest level?
Lewis in his basketball,
Elliot in his cycling.
I mean,
they both did it recreationally.
I was more successful in basketball
than you were in football.
I was technically
two levels below England. Which is still was technically two levels below England.
Which is still shit.
Two levels below international level.
I don't believe that.
That's what I was.
Right, right.
Which is still shit.
What's not?
Have you ever been paid to play basketball?
That's irrelevant.
Of course it is.
Of course it's not.
Of course it is.
I've been paid to play football.
Just because you're a D1 superstar, mate,
over in America.
I don't understand how the system works, then,
if you're two levels below England.
Isn't that just a club level?
No, National League.
That's National League.
So you go from being in a county to just being in the country.
Also, you're forgetting Lewis.
I'm not.
National League is I'm going across England.
Also, Lewis, the standard of football is a lot higher
than the standard of basketball in this country.
National League? Yeah. It's a National League. Yeah, so you go from playing a county. National League is I'm going across England. Also, Lewis, the standard of football is a lot higher than the standard of basketball in this country. National League?
Yeah.
It's a national league.
Yeah, so you go from like playing each county.
So it's not a county.
No, you go from...
No, you have teams like...
I was the Durham Wildcats.
And then you have like the Newcastle Eagles
who were like way better than us.
We were shit.
And then there was some teams who were just...
There was one team who just had a geezer
who was like six foot five.
Fucking just a big orf.
Which isn't even that big in basketball.
And all of us were taught.
Yeah, it's pretty average height to be honest.
All of us were only like fucking four foot
because we're kids.
And he was just doing this.
It wasn't even basketball.
No offense to basketball in this country,
but if you're playing at that level.
It's terrible.
The quality was so bad.
No, I promise you.
I'm not going to lie.
If you saw some of the people that was on my team,
you'd be like, that's...
Oh yeah.
I was one of the... You know what's crazy? They say the same thing. Don't say you're one of the best. No, I wasn saw some of the people that was on my team, you'd be like, that's... Oh, yeah. I was one of the...
You know what's crazy?
They say the same thing.
Don't say you're one of the best.
No, I wasn't one of the best,
but I promise you,
I was not the worst.
There's some...
Some what?
Some questionable things.
You were just bigging it up
saying how high of a level you played.
I just wanted to play the game.
Oh, England's really that bad
at basketball?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no.
The good people are good,
but compared to America,
we're shit.
Anywhere in Europe? Well, they're world champions, aren't they? Spain are good. France are good, but compared to America, where's shit? Anywhere in Europe?
They're world champions, aren't they?
Spain are good.
France are good.
Slovenia are good.
Who does Jokic come from?
Croatia?
No, he's not.
Serbia.
Have you seen his brother, by the way?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
He's like the scariest bloke ever.
He's like 6'9". He's like the scariest bloke ever Jokic is did he also play
basketball
he's like 6'9
he's currently the
best player in the
NBA
his brother is
fucking massive
did his brother
play basketball as
well
no no
he looks like
a mafia boss
yeah like a
hitman or something
but he's like
double his size
he's got to be
about 200 kilos
and he's like
7 foot 3 or something
he's sat next to
Jokic and makes Jokic look small.
And he's massive in the NBA as well.
And Jokic is fucking huge.
Yeah.
He's got a big dick as well.
Good God, man.
Something else.
Sorry, before we go on that.
What am I reading here?
No, go away.
It's okay, we'll get there.
I did want to mention something.
Do you remember the other week
when Reeve crashed out
and he was calling us absolute idiots
and why would scientists
possibly make a woolly mouse?
We were ahead of the news curve
because the guy who did it
has not only went on Joe Rogan
talking about it,
but also...
Hang on.
They've actually brought...
That was a crazy crash out.
It was a mental crash out.
Do you get handed so many L's
that whenever you bring a W...
Gaslight.
Gaslight.
I can't handle the L. are you clinging on to it
four weeks later?
Welcome to my world on pitch.
This is all they do.
You need to be a big man here.
You need to be a big man.
Tom is the big man.
On pitch side...
He will.
No, no, no.
He's being sarcastic here.
Look at this.
I promise you...
Do you know what?
Can I go inside and read Psyche?
Can I go inside and read Psyche?
Hang on a second.
Do you know what I like about Tom?
On pitch side, he's accepted his L's recently. He's on a second. Do you know what I like about Tom is that on pitch side,
he's accepted his L's recently.
He's the bigger man.
I'm just,
I've offered a handshake.
And now you,
he doesn't like being wrong,
The amount of L's
you've had recently
is kind of crazy
and you're just in denial.
He hates being wrong.
Do you remember his invention?
It's there.
Look at this fucking shit.
Did I not say
it was shit on the stream?
Say it now.
I admit it was worse than I originally thought. That's not saying it was shit. No, that's not saying it was shit. That's fucking shit. Did I not say it was shit on the stream? Say it now. I admit it was worse than I originally thought.
That's not saying it was shit.
No, that's not saying it was shit.
That's very different.
You originally thought it was amazing.
It's only because you've read the comments, though.
No, it's not.
And replied to all of them.
But anyways, guess what?
The people who are making the woolly mouses
actually have brought back a different extinct animal.
Have you seen this?
Yes, I have.
Genuine.
That's on the list.
Is it the wolf?
The dire wolf? The dire wolf? Yeah. From Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones, yeah. I have. Genuine. That's on the list. Is it the wolf? The dire wolf?
The dire wolf?
Yeah.
From Game of Thrones?
Yeah.
What's a dire wolf?
Giant wolf.
Why?
It's a massive giant.
Why are we bringing that back?
I'd like one personally.
Why?
If they bond to humans, right?
So they're like the catfish.
So they're basically a massive
like arctic living
like huge wolf.
Are we going to keep
an arctic fox?
No, there is
a genuine reason.
I think it's to do with,
help with,
I think he's like the wolf's boss.
So all the wolves
will be protected by the dire wolf.
I'll put it on the cover
of Time magazine.
Oh, that's not as big
as I thought it would be.
They're only six months old.
How do you know how big that is?
It's a magazine.
Not next to anything.
What a comparison to the letters.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Look at the letters. See if all the letters are big. It's the size of a bear isn't it until it rips your throat
out no no the the reason the way i can compare it is in game of thrones they are massive they will
get that big so i've been listening to the pod on this so it's uh they're six months old and about
85 pounds now and they'll they'll grow until they're like one and a half years old so they're
going to get
like big boys
that's the size
compared to a
human and a
normal wolf
but it is
it is
kind of mental
it's double the
size of a
normal wolf
but it's the
size of a
lion
because are we
not going down
the Jurassic Park
route
yeah I just
don't see the
point in this
what are we
gaining from it
the wolf
the wolf
has some
implications with
the wolves
going extinct
they'll help
with that
and the mammoths
help with the environment not extinct. They'll help with that. And the mammoths help with the environment.
Not a mammoth quite yet.
Don't you think humanity is just entering down a really weird slope at the moment?
By the way, all warfare eventually will be just fought between drones.
Or dragons if you breed.
Or remote people that are fighting on the battlefield.
You won't even need to fight.
Oh my god, dragons versus drones. That's why it's scarier than a nuke. What are fighting on the battlefield and you won't even like you won't even need to fight oh my god dragons versus drones
that's why it's scarier
than a nuke
what are you on about
battles
there won't be wars anymore
because if there is a war
someone gets nuked
and we all die
we're all likely to get
world peace
well think about it
if everyone
no one ever thought
of that
hey guys
this sounds crazy
we might have some
world peace
I think the only way
that happens is you
not waking up tomorrow.
Well,
think about it,
right?
Everyone's got a nuke.
Or you actually.
Then no one has.
No one has a nuke.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Think about it.
No,
but then we'd all lie,
wouldn't we?
No,
no,
yeah,
I've got rid of mine.
To go back to that,
if you could bring back
one animal from extinction,
what animal are you
bringing back?
The dodo.
Oh.
The dodos?
That is the one that
they're working on.
You'll be happy to hear.
The saber-toothed tiger.
Why though?
Saber-toothed tiger is a popular one
because they're kind of cool.
They are working on those
but the saber-toothed tiger isn't...
Have we not got enough animals
that could kill us?
Why do we need more?
Brachiosaurus.
What?
Or maybe not one with the long neck.
Yeah, giant lex.
Yeah, I'll bring that back.
Say what you shouldn't bring back
a fucking velociraptor.
That would be shit. Well, he didn't say that wasn't a question though was it so an interesting thing with the saber-toothed tiger that's like there's more than one like there's
just that one from ice age that we all picture and they have like essentially genuinely how they do
it it's quite interesting that they get loads of permafrost versions and find the bones of them
and they intersect all these bits of DNA with other
relatives and sort of
comprise it together.
Yeah.
And that Sabertooth
tiger doesn't have
strong enough DNA but
they do have like a
different Sabertooth
tiger.
This is my argument
about the woolly
mammoth though.
He's going to try and
say it was right.
No I'm just saying
like you're implying
that they would need
to put it into a
relative descendant
right
so there is
there is actually
a moral dilemma
so what we're establishing
is mice
are descendants
of a mammoth
well actually
there is a moral dilemma
of is
say these direwolves
is that a direwolf
well yeah
it's kind of similar
to ship of theseus
is it a direwolf
because it's actually
comprised of maiden lab and it's you know and there's a lot of argument about what is a species yeah don't you
mean like say let's call it a modern direwolf because like how do you even define like a species
so that because there's arguments where like a species is defined when you can't crossbreed like
so these two things that's a different spider but it's also well some people do geography like if
it's in a different area then it's a different species. But it's also, some people do geography, like if it's in a different area,
then it's a different species.
What about dogs?
That doesn't apply to humans,
does it?
You know dogs,
for example,
all dogs can interbreed
with each other.
So aren't you creating
new species there?
No, they're different breeds.
So this is the problem.
Different breeds,
same species.
But a wolf is a dog.
No, a wolf is a wolf.
No, it's not.
A wolf is a wolf.
Dogs came from wolves,
but dogs are a different species.
A lion is a cat. Yes. Big cat. But dogs are a different species. A lion is a cat.
Yes.
Big cat.
But is it a different species
or a different breed?
Different species.
It's a different species.
Different breed of cat, though.
Well, big cats are not the same as...
Big cats are not the same
as house cats, are they?
I see my point.
No, I don't really.
He didn't really answer anything.
Is the dire wolf a wolf?
Hmm.
Yes. because they're
I understand your question
I don't think I'm
clever enough to have an answer
does it matter though
if it's not
well the argument is
from the people
is it real
that's the thing
the argument from the people
making a dire wolf
is it's like right
if I had this perfect genome
of mammoth
but it was pink
and had like silly hair
oh I see
is that in your idea
more still a mammoth
but how can we prove
what a dire wolf
looked like back in the day though?
They know from like
the skeletons and that
but there were theories
where some said
they had red hair.
No, but I'm saying,
yeah, exactly.
So you'd never know
what colour it was
but it could come back
a completely different colour.
So if we brought back
a woolly mammoth
and it turns out
actually woolly mammoths
were like pink anyway.
Or had spikes.
Yeah, we just didn't know back in the day.
I make paintings of wolves, woolly mammoths.
They've got cave paintings of them, don't they?
I don't know, but is that...
Well, that's where the time machine would come in useful, wouldn't it?
Yeah, we should just invent that.
The reason they know about the woolly mammoths, sorry,
is because they do have them in permafrost,
and it's, like, really...
You have, like, live hair.
Right.
But it's, like, really dark because of the mud,
so they actually think it's quite bright and fluffy,
like the woolly mouse.
They think it was that colour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's like my dark because of the mud so they actually think it's quite bright and fluffy like the woolly mouse. They think it was that colour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's like
my trip to Thailand.
Fucking hell, mate.
Let it go.
All the elephants
that cover themselves
in mud and stuff,
they actually look brown.
Yeah.
But they're just grey elephants.
Interestingly,
it's the Asian elephants
that's the closest relative
to a mammoth.
Wow.
Which is bigger,
the Asian elephant
or the African elephant? I don't know. African. Which is bigger, the Asian elephant or the African elephant?
I don't know.
African.
Oh, man, come on, man.
African?
African on math.
A lot.
Yeah, it's just an interesting one,
but it might be five years
down the line
that you say drone warfare,
we might actually just have
fucking dinosaur warfare.
Like, we could have
dragon versus drone.
We wouldn't, no,
because people just nuke
each other.
It's not going to happen.
Well, obviously,
you want to clearly bring back
the dire wolf,
don't you? I'm a big fan of
bringing back a dinosaur
what else would you
bring back though
a t-rex
I'm talking about
the comeback
comeback thing we're doing
is that we're doing
top five comebacks
oh the top five
comebacks
ever
you said that really
nicely this year
he's an idiot
better than usual
and you let him down
sorry my g
I want more comebacks
from your mum's face there's a lot of things that we want to bring back from not just our lives when we're younger
but from our maybe our grandparents or your years and years back oh maybe you want to bring back
torture you know what i mean the death penalty oh i didn't think of that but we've got the top
five things that we need to bring are you saying in british society because those things do exist
in the world still i'm just talking about my life.
Okay, right, fine.
My life.
Who wants to go first?
Should we do one each or just individually?
Oh, yeah, go on.
Let's do that.
Let's do one each.
You start with your number five.
My number five?
Mine's not in order.
My number five is the cane.
I think we have a lot of dickhead children. I don't mind that.
What, you mean hitting people?
I actually don't mind that.
I'm not saying we go around schools and beat all the kids physical discipline i yeah no the
cane at school yeah which is physical discipline but like he's talking about broad scheme i'm saying
i specifically want the cane no he didn't yeah all he said was physical discipline yeah the cane
i actually don't mind that i i used to get smacked around the back of my legs i i used to get a slap
i think it teaches you
a respect for people
who are older than you
because you realise
from a younger age
you could beat me up.
Although you do also get teachers
who like nonce kids
so maybe they'd take it too far.
Yeah.
That is true.
Are we allowed to do
comebacks of things
that were done
back in the day?
You're allowed to do
whatever you want.
He said definitely
torture before we started.
You did guilty pleasures on just pleasures so you can do anything. You're allowed to do whatever you want. Anything you want. Yeah, I mean, he said definitely torture before we started. You did guilty pleasures
on just pleasures,
so you can do anything.
But before,
you're not allowed to like
slap your kid anymore,
are you?
Like not in the face,
but on the ass.
I used to get a slap
on the ass.
Okay, right.
Fair enough, mate.
We don't need to know
what you and your dad
got up to, mate.
Is that not how
you get spanked?
Slap on your,
bend over again, Liv.
It's a bit weird
that you were 18 at the time.
My mum used to do
my back and my legs, man.
I used to run up the stairs.
My mum used to do this
where she'd do that
and then slap her own hand
and I'd cry anyways.
So you didn't get hit?
Yeah, but I thought
I did off the noise.
Because I'm an empath.
Because you're an idiot.
Because I'm an empath.
She knew you were
a fucking idiot
so you thought...
What's yours?
Number five, I've got...
Do you remember
the extra strips?
Oh.
Chewing gum.
Well, they're not.
Oh, like thin.
Really thin like paper, thin like strips.
And you put them on your tongue.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember them.
They're a class.
I thought you were about chewy.
It was either extra or airways.
I'll get a photo.
Do you know what I saw?
I can't remember where I was.
I saw five gum.
Mine actually is more sweeties, number five.
Cadbury snaps. They would be small. Chocolate Pringles. Yeah. Oh, yeah. remember where i was i saw five gum uh mine actually is more sweeties number five uh cabri
snaps they were b small chocolate pringles yeah oh yeah they were good fucking b small that was
b oh do you know i haven't you remember the mini pringles in the little tub i remember them yeah
and you can see how many could you fit in your mouth you still give them no No, I don't remember them. You haven't had them? No. I don't remember them. You've got a little packed lunch food. Packed lunch food, yeah. Mini Pringles, man.
My number five.
Yeah, this is a bit weird,
but you know how we always,
if we play footy now at Fireside,
we'll go to Power League?
Yeah, you mean kick around at the park?
Kick around at the park
using jumpers for goalposts.
People still do that.
They still do that.
When was the last time you did that?
Because you're not nine.
Just nostalgia. Your next football video, go do it. I saw you go through the did that? Because you're not nine. Just nostalgia.
Your next football video,
go do it.
I saw it through the park.
I said,
imagine how fun it would be
if we all just went to the park
and had a kick around
with jumpers for goalposts.
Not now we're 30.
I feel like that's nostalgia
and not actually like bring it back.
I think we should bring it back.
I see that all the park by me.
I always see kids playing
10 streamers in a jumper for goalposts.
Oh, now that's over.
That was over.
That's it, the post.
Or bikes.
They always have bikes or jumpers in it.
Bikes was good.
Then you could actually get a physical post in there.
It was always ideal if you got like two really good trees.
We always had two class trees.
That was just not practical.
That's like an actual goal.
No, no, because the other side had goals,
but these ones we had two greatly spaced trees.
It was an unreal strip.
You could all just sort of agree if it had gone over or hit the post.
Yeah, we definitely didn't agree.
Shit kicked off
if it was close though.
If it was like,
if you just definitely,
yeah, fuck off, mate.
You've been doing it all game, man.
It's been going wild
every time, you little prick.
Would you choose
like which footballer you were?
We used to play.
When I was really young.
David Luiz.
We used to play,
but there was a kid
who was like a bit older than us
and played
but like do you know
when you
did you ever have that
like he would still
come in and play
but like because he's
playing against kids
he would probably think
he was like Lionel Messi
like bullying all these
children
I remember the ones
went down the park
and my dad had just
bought me the new
Europa League football
and I loved it right
I was only about 11
yeah
it was like the
UEFA Cup
whatever it was at the time I got down there and I was playing with 11. Yeah, it was like the U8 for cup, whatever it was at the time.
I got down there,
and I was playing with my mate,
and these group of like six,
16-year-olds come over,
just took my ball,
started playing with it,
and just wouldn't give it to me back.
I just had to sit there for like an hour.
They were like,
and then they just booted it in the tree.
Character building.
And I was just like,
and I couldn't do anything. They were just laughing at me. I was just like... And I couldn't do anything.
He was laughing at me.
I was like...
You know the total 90 aero ball?
I got that first kick in the form bush.
Not the same though, is it?
I mean, you just got bullied for an hour.
You just got...
I missed the target and popped my ball.
I remember sitting there.
I remember texting my sister
being like,
can you help me?
Can you get one of your mates
to come down?
She just didn't reply.
I once went to a sleepover
and I went in my shed.
Oh my God.
And there's a dead body in there.
No, no, this is actually traumatic.
They locked the shed.
So it was like me three minutes outside
and just would not let me out of the shed for entire i stayed there for a week no i swear to
god i was there for i swear i'm not saying this i was there four or five hours in stock
would not let me out the shed are you sure they were your mates yeah yeah like i understand why
it's funny but it was awful yeah you got bullied but it's like it's but it's not like you were
bullied guys it was so funny. Oh, my God.
My mates, they were definitely my mates.
The look on their faces was so funny, man.
They were having a great time, and I was miserable.
And I was crying, but it was just so funny.
As a group, collectively, it's really funny,
but just you're really miserable.
See, that's what we want.
That's not right, isn't it?
You're just crying in a shed while you make some point and laughing.
Oh shit, it was a sleepover, I was as excited as we could be.
Yeah, they were not your mates.
It was the first time I really got invited to their house.
Went for a sleepover and they just locked me in the shed for five hours.
No, I was off the morning after, I locked the guy whose house is in the shed.
I'm like, where are you in now? And he instantly just headbutted the window and stuck his head out.
He's like,
let me out now.
And he just broke his own window.
Hey, you were,
you were some great man.
Can I get my next one?
Because it's in relation
to your sleepover
you just mentioned.
Sleepovers with split screen.
Bring it back.
Ooh,
land pies.
Yeah.
What's that?
Do you ever play like
Call of Duty split screen?
Split screen?
No.
Like one on the top,
one on the bottom.
No. Oh, you go online. I bet you're more FIFA and you don't need Duty split screen? Split screen? No. Like one on the top, one on the bottom? No.
You go online.
I bet you're more FIFA and you don't need a split screen.
I never really played.
You never played Call of Duty?
I did, but not sleepovers.
Oh, Stan used to bring his Xbox around.
We'd have two screens next to each other.
Also, when were you playing Call of Duty?
Like how old?
Year nine?
Yeah, 16, 17.
You were still having sleepovers in year 10?
That's a bit
he watched the
welcome final
in his room mate
we used to just sit
and do like
like for a rate
on facebook
but everyone just
wanted
sorry
he watched the
welcome final
in his room
mine is actually
pretty similar
to what Theo said
remember that
oh mate
that's
no that's normal
though as you say
did you ever do
like for a rate
on sleepovers
I don't understand
what's weird about
watching the game
like for a rate on facebook in the bedroom what's weird about watching the game. Like For Ria on Facebook.
In the bedroom.
That's weird.
Where the TV was.
I'm sorry.
That is not where the only TV was.
Yes, it was.
No.
So weird.
They don't have a TV in their living room.
No.
Lawyer.
Because upstairs, it was like a living room bedroom thing.
It had like a bunk bed and a sofa.
What?
Oh, don't believe this.
Anyway.
I'm lying.
I'm lying there
my number four is
kind of similar to what
Fia said but just
without the split screens
hanging out
but with no obligation
to do anything
just people just
come around your house
and you just sit in there
doing niche whatever
I like that
in London all the time
you have to do something
you don't
I agree with that
just having your mate
around your house
and just being like
alright what are we doing
that's why it's nice
having like when you
have a flatmate and you sort of sat down
and you do it now, because it's fine.
I suppose that kind of happens.
You know when that does happen in the sun?
Yeah, true.
Or we just go here and just do what,
like we did for your birthday.
I know that was your birthday, but like we just-
Yeah, we sat around doing stuff.
I do find it's rare in London though, genuinely.
People always need to be doing something on their fly.
And it's fucking exhausting.
I think going to the pub is doing something.
No, but that's a motive.
Like, you're going in and making short-
See, that's why I disagree.
Me and my mates can just go down,
like, we'd go down to the pub and, like, do fuck all.
Right.
We don't have to play darts,
and we don't have to watch something.
We can just sit around having a pint.
I'd like that.
But then would you class that as-
I'd like friends.
I'd class that as going out and doing something.
I'd be nice to have friends.
That really slipped out there
Lou
I'd love that please
what if sometimes
we have people
around our flat
and just like
watch a game
or the fight
yeah perfect
that's exactly what I mean
that's what you mean
yeah
so if you have real friends
that does happen
yeah
that sounds so great
but what content
would you make from that
yeah good point
where's the financial benefit
my next one is
Kirby oh good gameby i don't
see anyone playing kirby i don't mate there's like my mom and dad's road which is like there's
loads of families up there and it's right by a park and when we mate we'd always be up i'd always
be up that cool he sat playing like rally one two three or kirby you play slam i don't know what
that is you have to smack the ball against the wall
and then the other person
has to hit it.
So it's kind of like squash
but with a footy.
I played that at school though.
Yeah,
but my coolie didn't have a wall
to play that with.
Yeah.
But do you not think
they don't do it
because it's a bit too dangerous
now, isn't it?
Well,
why don't you see my number three?
I had an honorary mention
that's fairly similar,
but I don't know
if you ever used to do it
with your mates,
but do you ever pretend
there was an invisible string to stop
cars and like you
go inside of the
road and you go
like that and the
car just stopped
there and then you
walk off.
I've never had to
believe me.
Did you actually do
that?
No.
I did that yeah.
Yeah I've tried it.
Have you never done
it mate?
It's fucking unreal.
I reckon that would
be pretty funny as a
kid.
Cars coming down
like a 40 and you
go oh my god we
could get them and
then you walk around
and then you pretend to pick it up off the floor
and you go like that.
And then they just stop there and then you walk off.
This day and age.
No, you get fucking, they get out of the car and beat you up.
Do you know what?
Like on that note, like I never get snowballing cars.
I feel like isn't a thing.
Oh my God.
It's unbelievable.
We used to go to the bus when the bus came past.
You guys got snow. We fucking, we were the bus when the bus came past.
It was like, we fucking,
we were waiting for the school bus ride
and we all bombed the fuck out of every car
and that cause we're lads.
But this car goes,
this car goes past, we bomb it and then pulls over.
We shit ourselves.
For some reason, we're all too thick.
We're like deer stuck in headlights.
We just don't move.
And it's someone's dad from the school. He comes up and he starts fucking giving us pelters but
then i feel like he reached the point where he's waiting for us to run away and he just like it
doesn't happen anymore i drove past i drove past my old school not when it snowed last
and i was like oh fuck me i was thinking i'm fucked out you little bastard no one did anything
i was like you do you get a lot of snow days then Abner yeah we used to break into our school
on a
if we had the day off for school
is that
should I make a comeback
break into the field
I really wanted to learn
because
Sam learning
yeah because
we had massive hills
so we'd go sledding
on the school
last time I got bombed
not bombed
was in the car
and like
some genius kids
I was actually so proud
because I haven't been bummed in ages.
Stop saying bummed.
Is there another word possible
that you can just say
hit with snowballs
or something like that?
So there's a big hill going up, right?
And like there was a massive boulder here
and I was like,
what the fuck?
And I drove here
and then when I drove
to the right side of the road,
they all came out.
They put a boulder there
to navigate anyone over.
And I was getting bummed and bummed.
I was so proud.
I was getting bummed.
I mean, bummed.
Okay, what about next one?
I haven't said my fourth yet.
Put me out of the car and bummed.
But then we did take it a bit too far.
Then when we had no snow,
we throw apples at the bus.
That's great.
I put brick on the road once
what the fuck
yeah it was really stupid
but like
do you know when you're kidding
you're an idiot
yeah
you shouldn't have been
obviously I shouldn't
have put a brick on the road
I cut bricks at cars
or again
this is not nice
this is not a good thing
we'd set up a goal
on the park
aiming towards the road
and wait for a car
to come past
and pretend
like the goalie
would like let it in
to just smash
kick a ball
did you ever do that
with your mates
where we get
I didn't mean it man
we used to get
someone to walk
in front of us
when there was like
someone across the road
and you pretend
you're throwing a snowball
at him
but you just
lob it at him
and then like
sorry mate
I was in for it
the disabled kid
in the wheelchair
my mate did that
and he lobbed it
fucking smacked him right at the end it was unreal remember you told me about that you used to throw them at the disabled kid in the wheelchair. He did that and he lobbed it fucking smacked him
right at the end.
It was unreal.
Remember you told me about that?
You used to throw them
at the disabled kid.
He used to steal dust caps.
No.
From cars.
Yeah.
No.
Why would you do that?
Isn't that theft?
No.
Also, why would you...
I mean, it's nothing...
I used to have a fever all the time.
And bikes and stuff.
Oh, poor deflated tyres.
Some cars have cool dust caps
and you put it on your bike.
Allegedly, I didn't do that.
Oh, yeah.
I used to be a right little thief.
Number four.
I have bring back jewels.
What's that?
Do you know in the Wild West
or when they call you
to their awful jewel?
Oh, my God.
What?
As in like fucking pistol jewels?
To bring back more murder.
Just in general.
It doesn't have to be murder,
but it's like, right,
you've overstepped the knell.
I'm challenging you to a jewel.
Yeah.
That does happen. People fight. No, no, no. It's an arranged thing but it's like, right, you've overstepped the note. I'm challenging you to a duel. Yeah. That does happen.
People fight.
No, no, no.
It's an arranged thing.
It's like tomorrow at noon.
Tomorrow at dusk,
we're meeting here.
Like boxing.
No, but it's out in the open.
It's like a duel.
Yeah, but like,
travellers do that.
They're like,
we'll have a fight tomorrow.
I don't.
Maybe no one's dueled me.
Yeah, but did you do that anyway?
No.
I'm saying,
when have you ever dueled?
I'm saying,
bring it back in life,
not me personally.
I've never been around duels.
I just thought it was something mint.
So bring back people...
Dueling.
...rocking up with pistols
and then whoever gets it out first
and shoots you, the guy, wins.
Or trial by combat and stuff.
Lou, you'd die.
What's your number three?
Yeah, let's rattle through these now.
My number three yeah let's rattle through these now my number three is
mom said
no gays allowed
in the house
as crazy as it sounds
my pain
could help someone else
stories that heal
share yours
together
we are unsinkable
we are unsinkable.com
now on this, I don't think bad stuff,
but like really mild,
I guess you have to call them slurs,
but not the bad one.
Yeah, we discussed, yeah.
One of mine is bring back slurs you can say in 2006.
Yeah.
I think all slurs should be allowed back. Like, f***.
Did you really not did you really not
expect this segment
to go exactly like that
like
I caught
don't double down
and keep calling
yeah keep it in
but bleep it
on the same thing
bullying
yeah
it hasn't really
left my life
yeah and look how
well he's turned out
you're doing great
actually he is right
to be fair.
Character building.
It is character building.
On a lighter note,
prizes in cereals.
Oh, great.
Yeah, I don't really...
That's where they have
them still, don't they?
No.
Not like they used to,
mate.
That's unreal.
Oh, do you remember
the Frosties little
football thing?
Exactly.
And Coco Pops.
Yeah.
Kellogg's used to do
sick ones, mate.
No, wait.
I thought you meant
like the cereal bowls you used to get. No. Like the free cereal bowls. Do you remember the little Yeah, or like inside the packets. Yeah. Oh, you used to pick up all the time. Kellogg's used to do sick ones, mate. No, wait. I thought you meant like the cereal bowls
you used to get.
No.
Like the free cereal bowls.
Do you remember the little
Yeah, or like inside the packet.
In Frosted,
they had like a mini football.
Yeah, you...
It was like a little...
You pour your thing out
and then if you got it in the bowl
against your brother or whatnot,
you're like,
I got the prize, you little...
I don't remember that.
Oh, mate, they were the best.
Goated, right?
Why do they not exist?
Don't know.
Health and safety, maybe.
I don't know.
Huh?
Yeah. Good Lord, man. My next one not exist? I don't know. Health and safety, maybe. I don't know. Huh? Yeah.
Good Lord, man.
My next one is Blockbuster or video stores.
Oh, yeah.
Or Borders.
That's a shit one, though.
No, no.
I know it's nostalgia, but go into the video game store in Seaford on a Friday night to
pick out Star Wars Phantom Menace.
You think that's better than Netflix?
Yeah, he's got a point.
No, I don't.
But I'd love to go do it.
So you're just talking complete nostalgia.
You don't actually want it back? Yeah, bring it back. I know your next speech, but I never went to a Blockbuster. Eat the shit, mate. You'd go to go do it. So you're just talking complete nostalgia you don't actually want it back.
Yeah, bring it back.
I know you're an ex-beast
I never went to a blockbuster.
It's shit, mate.
You'd go.
You'd go and window shop
the DVD that you want to watch.
We had it in our local
it was called Billy's
like a carnival.
You could rent a film
or a Blu-ray as well.
Shit, mate.
It was shit.
You'd pay over the odds.
We'd rent a video
for like 24 hours.
It's class.
The difference in convenience now is it takes 10 seconds to choose your film on Netflix
or you go and spend 45 minutes picking your movie.
But how excited were you to go to the video store when you were a kid?
Yeah, but that's because I was a child and that was the only option.
And you could look for all the videos on the VHS and like,
oh, which one am I going to get?
Yeah, but you're just picking memories of when you were a kid.
All right, bring back James Bond on three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon on ITV1.
Athens over Christmas. No, don't. Every week. My next one. memories of when you were a kid. Bring back James Bond on three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon on ITV1.
That happens over Christmas.
No, don't.
I do.
Every week.
My next one.
Original Iron Brew.
Where the fuck has it gone?
I never had that.
Oh, it's so good. Apparently it's unreal.
Honestly,
my favourite drink.
2018,
they changed the recipe.
And they dropped the sugar
content by like 90%.
And it genuinely tastes
apparently if you get
like an old school
iron brew
it's different level
oh mate
it's one of the nicest
drinks possible
they only need to invest
in old school iron brew
yep
who's next
let's start with that
yeah it's really annoying
really loud as well
I just thought of
my one
oh that was it
yeah
my number two
is
I was going to try
and be funny
and put fingering in but I think people still finger don't they Yeah. My number two is... I was going to try and be funny and put fingering in,
but I think people still finger, don't they?
Yeah.
So my number two will be British Bulldog.
Oh, yeah.
Great shout.
That got banned when we were young as well.
Oh, yeah.
I broke my collarbone playing that.
That's why it got banned.
Yeah.
What a fucking game.
I missed the year six disco and everything.
You didn't go?
I broke my collarbone that night.
I was in hospital.
British Bulldog.
Just put a sling on. I'm in hospital. British Bulldog. Just put a sling on.
I'm in hospital.
You're sick.
You don't stay overnight for a broken collarbone.
Football training was at 6.30.
Broke it in the warm-up playing British Bulldog.
Went to...
This disco started at like half seven.
Mate, you felt...
You wouldn't have missed it anyway because you were playing football?
No.
Everyone finished training early to go to disco, obviously.
What, you trained for
half hour?
Yeah,
I can't remember.
Yeah,
I didn't want to
be funny either.
Did you ever
play British
ball though?
Number two
was fingering
for me.
I think
you ever
fingered anyone.
I can't
imagine him
at school
being like,
I fingered
this bird
last night,
lads.
I feel like
this list is Lewis I can't imagine him at school being like, I fingered this bird last night, lads. I feel like... I feel like...
I feel like this list is Lewis
trying to retrospectively show how cool he was as a child.
None of these things have happened back in the day.
I was not partaking.
I'm just saying it's died off.
I can still remember the first girl I fingered
and where it happened.
So can I, actually.
It was in the trees of like... It was on the corner of this road by mine and we were all
like hanging about in the street corner and we went into like this big bushy fern tree
and I was fingering up the street.
It was fucking unreal man.
We live different childhoods man.
I didn't get near that territory for a while.
We used to have them.
We can tell.
Bring it back man, I mean introduce it. I didn't get near that territory for a while. We used to have them. We can tell.
Bring it back, man.
I mean, introduce it.
Introduce it. What's your final one then?
My final one is quite comfortably
unwoke television programs.
Yeah.
Little Britain.
Balls of Steel.
Correct.
And films like Tropic Thunder.
Yes, exactly.
You've still never seen it.
It's too fucking pc
now man i agree so shit you know what comedy is crap now i was actually having this conversation
with like a b and that on the weekend i actually think you would get away with it because so many
people would be like no we find this funny in the woke brigade would actually get it's turning now
it's changing a bit again where's like can you please next episode have watched tropic fun
that i beg you you'd really like it it's i've seen loads of even team america that's on woke
team america's great as well someone's favorite film or not even like ali j or bruno bruno exactly
well i've actually got the best one okay you. You haven't because I have. No, you haven't. I have.
The chicken legend.
Oh, right.
In particular.
Fucking fried chicken sandwich.
Salsa chicken legend.
The spicy meal one was better.
Barbecue.
No, the salsa one was better.
I've never had it.
Salsa one was better.
Why they got rid of that,
I will never know.
But you can get a better fried chicken sandwich
from KFC.
Or Popeyes.
Nah, you can't, mate.
Chicken legend. And you're only saying this because you have an affinity for McDonald's KFC. Or Popeyes. No, you can't, mate. Chicken Legend.
You're only saying this because you have an affinity for McDonald's.
All yours are just nostalgia.
You don't actually want them back.
Chicken Legend is my favourite thing they've ever done.
And what you could do, instead of a Chicken Legend...
What about the breakfast wrap?
Remember the deli?
Remember you have a deli or a wrap?
You get a deli or a wrap.
The deli is a different bread.
Oh, my days.
Well, that's the worst one of all of them.
I was impressed this was
that was the best one
possible.
Chicken Legend, of course.
I don't know if you
know about mine.
If they bring it back,
it will...
What about the breakfast wrap?
Does that still exist?
It's still out there, yeah.
It came back recently.
But the whole point
when they brought
the breakfast wrap back...
Mate, no one gives a fuck.
But the Chicken Legend,
if they bring back
Chicken Legend,
world will end.
My last one is,
I don't know if you know this,
Peter's Bakery.
You ever try that?
No. My hairline. Every village you start one, you get four sausages, my last one is I don't know if you know this Peter's Bakery you ever try that no
my hairline
every village
you start one
you get four sausages
sausage rolls
for a pound
and believe it or not
in my opinion
they were right up there
with Greg's
it was fucking class
okay right mate
very specific
my number one
are power pods
what's that
the little things
for
for crazy
chocolate man
get him a power pod
I don't play football
yeah they don't do them anymore
what are they
kids now have match attacks
power pods
shoot
the little
oh to a better ball
no they weren't
on the bottom
you'd have like their stats
they have like the big head
and like the different celebrations
you get different
oh
yes
you'd get different coloured bases
I remember
trying to get
that's what Mini Marco was
I remember trying to get I remember trying to get
the Henri
but in the away kit
for Arsenal
for so long
2006
and when I finally
no no
this is like 03, 04
when I finally got him
it was the best day
of my life
my dad used to go down
on a Sunday morning
get a paper
bring me back
some power pods
I'd open it
open the chocolate
have the chocolate
I've got thousands
at home I've got thousands at home.
I've got boxes full.
That's reminded me.
Is there anything that you still don't have to this day that you needed?
I took to America with me my gold-based R9, my Gianfranco Zola,
and my Jason Kumas.
That R9 might be worth quite a bit, you know.
Yeah, but I'd never sell it.
It's a gold-based, awake it Brazil Ronaldo.
Would you sell it for 10's a gold base, awake it Brazil, Ronaldo. Would you sell it
for 10 grand?
Shut up,
mate.
Maybe.
There you go,
you sell it.
That just reminded me
of another great thing
that doesn't exist anymore.
Do you remember
game trade-ins?
Yeah.
I bought FIFA Street
for one pound
because I gave in
four of my old games
and it was the original one
with the Ronaldinho
cover on the top.
You can do that in CF.
You can do that in CF. No, with the ronaldinho you can do
that see the problem is now you don't really use this it's like his blockbuster argument
which is a bit hypocritical because i don't agree with that but i agree with going into a game shop
and buying a game that you never knew because like you didn't know what was released and you
trade in and you're like oh i've got 20 quid what am i gonna get yeah so yeah high street high street
video game stores just don't really hit the same.
Or going to Asda with your mom and not being like,
oh, buy me this boxing game.
Yeah, you just get it online now.
What about, this is a very niche,
Call of Duty release day.
Perfect.
When you were at school.
What a day that was.
We got told off.
I didn't really play.
We used to get told off all the time.
We'd be too busy, like,
too excited about Call of Duty Backup 1 coming out.
FIFA dropped the same as well.
No, for FIFA,
did you get half price
at midnight?
Yeah, yeah,
half price.
I only ever got them,
I had to wait
until Christmas.
I know,
but sometimes you'd
find out,
Asda's got it,
£10 cheaper,
run!
Yeah, I think towards
the end,
because when I started
to actually earn my own
money,
I'd put some towards
and then they would
buy me it,
but yeah,
I always had to wait
for Christmas when it was a killer.
Yeah, that's a long time.
Right?
You were a Christmas noob.
That was a good time for us.
Put your top five in the comments.
What?
I said put your top five in the comments
and then there's some finger guns.
What the hell was that?
That was weird.
Problem is we've,
on average,
yeah, we've lived a lot of life
on average compared to,
we are pretty old.
I'd be interested to see their perspective,
you know? Yeah, but theirs would be like four nights season one. to... They're interested to see their perspective, you know?
Yeah, but theirs would be like four nights, season one.
I'd like them to know what they think about the Power Pods, though,
because I do think that is a better experience than a fucking card.
Because I even have the stadium.
You can get the stadium and play with it.
A bit like Subutio.
They're probably too expensive to produce.
And kids don't get to shop for their supporters.
That's the end of the episode.
No, I got fucked, man.
I haven't done Gaz Goblin.
I got fucked as well.
Man helping mom move furniture.
Hang on.
What's the theme?
I want to know the theme.
I struggled this week.
It's just back to normal.
Man helping my mom or mom move?
No.
Mom-ish.
Man helping his mom moving furniture
finds long-lost lottery ticket worth $50,000.
Oh, America.
That'd be out of date, though.
Would it?
Oh, wait.
$50,000 back in there.
Well, you can ask questions.
Hang on.
Time bending, in apostrophes, fog delays hundreds of flights at Denver International Airport.
Time bending.
And finally, Bulgarian club apologise after holding minute silence
for a former player who's still alive.
That's so true.
I can see that happening.
Yeah, man.
What are your first initial thoughts, Lou?
This ticket, when's it from?
So, a Maryland man,, when's it from? So,
a Maryland man,
obviously he's in America,
helping his mom move some furniture,
found a stash of scratch-off lottery tickets.
So I'm guessing like scratch cards,
not lottery tickets.
Evergreen then.
And one turned out to be a $50,000 winner.
The Nottingham man
told Maryland lottery officials
he was helping his mother move
furniture at her house when he came
across the small stack of long forgotten
tickets.
I said, hey mom, I've got
some scratch-offs here. Can I scratch them?
The player recalled.
The man's mother told him
to go ahead, take the tickets home
with the understanding they would split the
winnings
um it turned out a five dollar holiday luck doubler was a fifty thousand dollar winner it's interesting that's chat gbt could be the man kept his agreement and split the prize money with
his mother so she'll actually end up oh no so he's he said he his share will go towards saving
for a house and paying off debts, including money he owes his mother.
So she'll actually end up
getting more,
he said.
Doesn't it,
like,
expire though?
Like,
every year or something
to claim it?
I don't know.
Well,
clearly not.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Why did you call him a player?
Because that's what he says.
Because he's a shark.
Also,
he...
No,
because he was a scratch card player,
wasn't he?
He's a lottery player.
So he's claiming...
He's claiming
that because he found them
he's entitled to the money
even though they're
his mum's scratch cards
no he
he said he was going to
go and take them back
scratch them all off
and if there's any winnings
they'll split them
oh I see
but he owes his mum money
so
could be true
could be true
which one do you want to
what does time bending mean
yeah that's an interesting
kind of phrase
travellers at the Denver International Airport were left baffled Could be true. Which one, John? What does time bending mean? Yeah, that's an interesting kind of phrase.
Travellers at the Denver International Airport
were left baffled
on Monday morning.
This is from April the 7th, 2025.
So it was like...
Yesterday.
Yeah, yesterday.
Silver-coloured fog
rolled onto the tarmac
causing massive delays
and confusing both pilots
and ground crews.
This is... that's bullshit.
Not like, I mean, it doesn't mean like,
according to eyewitness, it's bullshit.
Now, according to eyewitness, what?
No, because it's a long article.
I'm trying to get the best bits.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, it could be.
Airport officials initially attributed the phenomenon
to an unusual atmospheric event,
but they later walked back on their statement
after local meteorologists confirmed
no weather patterns in the area
could explain the fog's sudden appearance
or metallic sheen.
So they went back in time?
What?
No.
I imagine time bending just implies that there was no prerequisite
for there to be fog, and then the fog just appeared.
Yeah, basically.
And the FAA...
You know, we get a weather app that says,
oh, this all this shit's going to happen.
The headline is fog appears.
Yeah, out of nowhere.
But it's not...
No, but it's not every morning.
No, but it's not normal fog.
Open the window.
Oh, it's foggy.
What does it mean?
How is this a news thing?
It's not on the app.
That is not a thing.
Oh, sorry, I've missed a key part.
I think you have, yeah.
According to eyewitness accounts,
several passengers claimed to have experienced missing time.
Again, this is America.
With some stating their watches and phones fell behind by as much as 45 minutes while sitting on the planes.
So that's the bit I missed.
Could that be magnetic something there?
I don't know.
So that's where the time bending fog comes on.
The FAA has launched an investigation, but so far refused to comment publicly.
How do they even investigate that?
Investigate fog.
So basically,
I think,
long story short is,
a weird fog appeared with no predictions or whatever,
in Denver,
and people on the planes ready to go,
had to be delayed because of it.
And then they've experienced their phones and watches going back in time
I know it's possible
at least
I think that might be
I think that's
too weird
like too like
I think that's real
okay
and then the final one was
final one was
oh the Bulgarian
football club
they gave a
what team
they are called
Arda Kazali
if we had better knowledge we should know that true or not I don't I don't think What team? They are called Arda Kazali.
If we had better knowledge, we should know that.
True or not?
I don't.
Are they in the top division?
I don't think so.
A Bulgarian football club have apologised for holding a minute's silence for a former player who's still alive.
Arda Kazali, which is located in the southern Bulgarian town of Kazali.
I'm probably saying that wrong.
And playing the country's top division.
Held the minute silence in honour of Petko Ganchev
before Sunday's game against Levski Sofia.
Okay.
Both teams lined up near the centre circle,
blah, blah, blah, bowing their heads to mourn Ganchev.
Before the match was over,
Arda posted on their Facebook page
saying they'd received the wrong information
that Ganchev was in fact alive.
I just feel like that could be right.
I think the first one is fair.
Yeah, I agree.
I think this might be the most blaringly obvious one we've had so far.
And that was the lottery ticket.
Yeah.
Indeed.
I think there's holes in that story compared to the others,
which appears to be a little...
And you think it would have expired,
so it's not applicable?
It's more like the way in which Tom read it.
It's as if he's like...
Oh, you don't like
the word player.
I think when he's...
It's also when he reads it,
he reads the difference
to the other two
as if he's scanning
through for any...
He's like...
I don't know,
he emphasises words more
on the first one.
I feel like the second one
actually was an article
because he tried
to summarise it for us.
Yeah, I agree, Ken.
Whereas the first...
I'm looking at his
micro-expressions mainly.
And Sophia might have played... And do you know what? Now he's got no beard, it's very'm looking at his micro-expressions mainly. And Sofia might have played...
And do you know what?
Now he's got no beard,
it's very easy to read his micro-expressions.
You know what, lads?
Should we just lock in the first one?
I think it's the first one, Beast Mode time.
Beast Mode lock in.
What do you think?
I'll agree with you.
I'll agree with you.
But do you agree?
What was the first one?
I don't have any standout feelings
towards A, B or C though.
Do you know what I mean?
So I'm very neutral in today.
I feel very strong
about the first one being fake.
I don't like the word player though,
even though he picked up on it.
Play is a bit...
That seems like a robot created...
That's like he forgot
to read that story through.
No one who plays the lottery
a player of the lottery.
Yeah, yeah.
The player admitted...
That is fake.
The player...
Are we guessing the real
or fake headline?
Fake. Lock it in. Lou, Lou. Lock it Yeah, yeah. The player admitted. That is fake. The player. Are we guessing the real or fake headline?
Fake.
Lock it in.
Lou, Lou.
Lock it in, son.
Can you stop doing that?
That is crazy, by the way.
Lock it in.
If they did have a minute of silence
for a guy,
it's still alive.
Are you locking it in?
Are you agreeing?
Yeah, yeah.
A.
Okay, so the football one
is true.
Fuck me, man.
It always comes down
to the last two.
Well, yeah, I'm not going to
reveal it straight away
by the way
you got it wrong
right let's move on
yeah so the
Bulgarian football club
that is completely true
the time bending
fog
is fake
no
and the
lunchie ticket
was a real
study
fuck
no way that's fake that's not real and there's a photo of them together with it And the lottery ticket was a real study. Fuck.
No way that's fake.
That's not real. And there's a photo of them together with it.
The Maryland lottery, 50,000.
But what about the emphasis and the micro-expressions?
I applied you like a fiddle.
Wait, hang on a second.
How is time bending fog?
That makes sense.
Lads, we're actually idiots.
Somehow again.
Obviously time bending fog was fake. Somehow again. Oh, we're fucking idiots. again obviously time bending fog was fake
somehow again
oh we're fucking idiots
do you know what
all of us are
because somehow
fog doesn't appear
meteorologists would tell us
how the fog appeared
somehow we have just said
a mind bending
time bending fog
is true
yet someone finding
an old scratch card
is fake
yeah
we fucked that
it's so fucking obvious
you're an idiot though
don't worry mate
it's season two
Said the watches went back in time. Can we just say can we just rewind five minutes by the way where these two?
Confidently said that's definitely fake big lottery ticket. I
Can't believe how fucking stupid we are we I don't care. He doesn't care. Look at him at least
I didn't I didn't have He doesn't care Look at him At least I didn't have a
Got feeling this time
That's the issue Reeve
Isn't it
Me and Lewis care about that
Yeah
We actually
We care
Sitting on the fence
Not even bothering
It's not even affected you
You can see your face
You can just go on with your life
And feel like nothing ever happened
Me and Lewis
We'll lose sleep tonight
It doesn't affect us
We're gonna lose sleep tonight
He doesn't care
He's mugging us all
I don't think it's as important
As you think it is
Oh it is
What the fuck
Slate him in the comments I'm pretty sure the score Is now 2-1 to you guys He doesn't care. He's mugging us all. I don't think it's as important as you think it is. Oh, it is. What the fuck?
Slate him in the comments.
I'm pretty sure the score is now 2-1 to you guys
for season two.
I think we should just have
an old three.
I think we should have
an old time score forever.
What's an old time score?
I battered you in the first season,
didn't I?
Yeah.
I like the comeback story.
Yeah, old time score
about four back, I think.
Yeah, that's old time for heroes.
Well, thanks for tuning in.
Obviously, I won again.
Hopefully, next episode
I've got my beard back
so you don't have to scream
every time I come onto the camera.
Can you please
reel us five stars, please?
Next week?
Yeah, we're recording Thursday.

with men?
