Okay. So yeah, what kids say six, seven. And it's in reference to some song by Scrilla, I believe, is his name.
Oh, you've done your research. Oh, I have. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've really got your finger on the pulse. I like to know what the kids are up to.
Hey, Kate.
Is a red flag. I don't think you should.
No, no, it's not. I think it's pretty cool and definitely normal. No, I only know because he was on the Matt and Shane podcast. Who? Scrilla.
Who is Scrilla? He's the guy. Is that Screthex? No, no, it's not. Is it a white guy?
Scrilla X is a nerdy white guy
Scrilla is very much not a white guy
Oh my goodness
And he had a song called
Doot Doot
Yes, it's as cool as it sounds
And there's some line in it
Where he goes six, seven
And now kids say it
But the whole thing is like
They do it because they know
Adults will be like
What is six seven?
What does that mean kids?
They know all the James Cattons
Of the world like, what are you young
fellas up to there?
But you shouldn't be talking to him
No, I have to talk to them
I have to
It's investigative journalism
I'm like Louis Taru
And six seven
Surely that's not a reference
To my penis size
Because if it is
You're going to be very disappointed
Six seven
So what?
It's six inches
Seven inches girt
Yeah
So it's all a
It's the whole brain Roth thing
But they do
Kids do it because they know
It'll just annoy adults
Because the adults
Don't know what they're talking about
That's why I don't let kids anyone near me.
Okay.
They want to get at me.
I have to lock the door.
They're like, oh, hello, Brian, come out to play.
I'm not falling for that trick.
Because the kids want me to come out to play.
And I'm playing with them.
And the guards pull up and it's like, no officer, they want to me to play.
It's not right kids.
The kids are like, who are you?
I'm like, come on, kids, six, seven.
Like, what do you mean?
Yeah, you'll be doing six or seven years behind bars, pal you nunts.
Get in the party wagon.
it's giving
yeah
anyway
look we got stuff
talk about this episode
right no messing around
okay
stop trying to be
hip with the kids
never
I can't help it
dude I'm just
you know I'm young at heart
you know
not my actual heart
it's uh
I've been told
I have the heart
of an 83 year old smoker
but hey
well look
we got a lot talk
with this episode
all right
oh do we
oh yeah we do yeah
oh someone
what were you good
we just
we were watching
I'll tell you what, I'm kind of flustered.
Could you watch the film Steve there?
Yeah.
And by watch the film, he watched about two minutes of it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I liked it.
You turn it on and walk to the shop and came back.
It's like, well, I'm ready to write my letterbox to review now.
Underwhelming.
You know, it was weird.
I found it hard to follow the story because I wasn't watching it.
And the filmmaker should take that into account.
Well, you know what's weird.
I went to the shop, actually.
Oh, yes.
I walk past Paddy Power.
Yeah.
They're playing Judge Judy.
in there.
Right.
That's what they're watching.
Okay.
And who...
You get to bet on whether she'll go with the black guy or the other black guy.
No, I don't know.
What does that even mean?
It's a free episode.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Judge Judy's racist.
Not me.
And cut.
Okay.
Yeah, all right?
We're going to move on from that, right?
Your awful Judge Judy comments.
Sorry.
Is she still alive?
She is?
A very wealthy woman.
Oh, is she single?
I'm not sure.
Ready to mingle.
I'm not sure.
possibly. Would you be jealous if I was like James?
Imagine you came downstairs
and Judge Judy's there wearing my t-shirt
and nothing else.
I'm like, oh hello James.
Permission to approach the bench,
Your Honor.
Well, that's good, yeah. Let me think of a legal term.
Well, you know,
you know, probably like jury.
This is it. This is the process, folks.
this is the craft
in action this is
how the sausage gets made
so you say approach the bench
yeah all right
so that's like approaching her
you just talk with something else
for a minute
let me just
can I
will I say another one
or maybe without upset you
have you got another one
have you got a few
that's not fair
that shouldn't be allowed
you're not playing by the rules
write some down and pass them over to me
we'll go on see some more then
Permission to treat the witness as hostile, Your Honor?
I don't know.
I don't know if they actually say that.
Anything you say can be held against you?
Uh-huh.
I'll be held against you.
No.
I'll hold you in contempt.
Oh, yeah.
Move on from this.
Yeah, you shouldn't have brought that up, actually.
Sorry, yeah, I didn't.
I didn't, though.
Oh, look, so I watched a very interesting film this week.
I watched House of Dynamite.
Okay.
which is a new Catron Bigelow film
Right
She hasn't done a film in a while
She's not related to Deuce Bigelow
I'm right about that
Is her name Bigelow?
Does I make that up?
She's married to James Cameron
I think it is Catherine Bigelow
So her last film was Detroit
Which no one watched
Oh yeah
Did you watch it?
No
Okay
I heard of it though
Yeah I didn't watch it either
But this film now
It's been released
In cinemas
It'll be on Netflix soon
It's like a Netflix film
All right
Okay
It is very simple
It's basically a nuclear missile
Has been launched
It's going to hit Chicago
Right
You got 18 minutes
What do
Jack off three times
Go
Only three
Hey put a bit of Judge Judy on
I could make it to double digits
I reckon you know
Yeah
So we follow
I got my fit bit going
One last bit of exercise
For the end
A bit of card
before I meet my maker
He died
He died doing what he loved
Yes sir
So we follow different branches
Of the American government
All right
So like the people who are like
The situation room
You know
Right
The people have to go find the president
Like you know there's a guy
Who's got a briefcase
Yes
And his whole job is basically
When things go to shit
We open the briefcase
And we have the plans
For like nuclear war
We follow him
We follow some
regular soldiers
who, like, their job is, like, monitor everything.
We follow, like, people in FEMA,
like, different sections of government, right?
And basically how...
You know, the funny thing is,
it's very real,
which almost makes it feel a bit, like, antiquated now.
Okay.
All right, because it's all very real and professional.
And in your head, you're like,
they wouldn't be that professional.
You know, people would, like, you know,
like you said, to be jerking off,
to be, like, just grabbing tits.
Trump's cabinet, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
It's Linda McMahon and fucking.
RFK Jr.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I think nuclear missiles
actually cause autism.
This might be the cure to autism
actually, now that I think about it.
If you tuck Tylenol,
maybe radiation will cure your autism.
Circumcision causes nuclear war.
And Cheryl Hines, she's so lovely.
She's like, yes, I support my Bobby.
Do you see Cheryl Hines on the view?
No.
Yeah, yeah.
And she was defending him nonstop.
She's a ride or die.
She is right or die.
Yeah.
And when she dies,
she should be dug up.
Yeah.
And he's cheating on her
nonstop.
Of course he is.
Yeah, yeah.
He's R-FK, you know?
Yeah, how can you say no?
Yeah, yeah.
He's like Springsteen.
I'm about to bust.
Oh, fuck.
Wow.
I wonder what he sounds like when he comes.
Normal.
Oh, God.
Hey, finally.
He comes just like a minute of like,
Hey, me, me, me, me, me.
Yeah, baby.
All right.
Thanks for that.
I just busted a nod like.
a motherfucker man,
All right man, I'm a, I'm a holl at you later, girl.
All right, be...
Hello, and, oh, yes, I'm ready to the press conference.
This is gibberish, isn't it?
No, I don't know.
I think my mother talked too much Tylenol,
which was pregnant with me, you know?
And God bless her for it.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, so the missile is coming,
and it's really fun, because it starts off,
it's Jason Clark.
He's, like, the top guy, all right?
He's like, okay, people, so we're getting some issues here on the monitor.
We'll just check it out.
Probably not, and, yeah.
Oh, oh, all right.
So it's a...
Yikes.
Oh, yeah, it's probably just a test we weren't told about.
It's not a tester.
Okay, right.
Well, come on.
We train for this, people.
It's the protocol.
We're going to launch the missile.
It's going to take out the nuclear weapon, and then we'll be okay.
So, yeah, hey, easy is pie.
And, oh, we missed.
All right, okay.
Do we have another one?
no all right we don't have another one really feels like we should have another one that was it we did
on big max that's what we spent the budget on big max and adderall okay geez well oh boy well okay
and the best part of the film is um when the guys come in the security guys like sir we're
going to come with us now and where we go we're going to the bunker all right okay um okay you guys
you know stay calm
I'm going
oh fuck
oh shit
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
there's like a trail of piss
coming down
oh no no no
my god
oh my god
oh my god
I wish I didn't
recognize the state
of Israel
so many times
I'm definitely going to hell
oh fuck
stay stay calm people
it's gonna be fine
so basically
the guys come
and it's so great
it's very subtle
okay
so like sir you're coming with us
now
someone I was like, are we coming too?
It was like, no, you can stay here.
Pulls out the gun.
Why don't you tell me, motherfucker?
You feel like going somewhere right now?
Or you feel like staying where the fuck you are?
Yeah, so they put Rebecca Ferguson in charge.
And she's trying her best to be like, you know, not shitting herself.
Sure.
And then we cut to like FEMA and over there again, it's like the head of the woman in charge.
Okay.
They're like, yes, you're going to come with us now.
Why?
No, just shut up.
right, we have ordered, we will drag you if we have to, all right?
Our job is to bring you and no one else here.
Right.
And the whole time, it's a lot of, like, you know, talking amongst people and they're like, no, no, who did this?
And they're calling up Russia and Russia's like, we didn't do this.
And they have to like, really like, well, you know.
It was on me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you said the nuclear code.
It wasn't me.
You know?
Yeah.
Do they do that?
They don't do that.
A bit of fun.
A bit of liberty, you know.
It wasn't many laughs in this film
It was all very serious
I was like come on
Someone's slipping a banana or something
Yeah
Do a bit of like
You know
Get Groucho Marx there or something
So Russia is kind of
Wasn't us
I'm like well
We have a
There's a nuke we're monitoring
And the nuke's gone now
Seems to be flying towards us
No mistake
All right
Well
If it hits us
We're going to have to
Hit you back
No
If you do
That will shoot you.
Well, you've already shot us.
So it's coming from Russia, then?
They don't know.
Okay.
At the end, we don't get a full answer.
It might be North Korea, it might be Russia.
Russia's annoying anywhere, right?
Okay.
And I didn't, so Idris Elba is the president.
Oh.
President is Dris.
Stringer Bell.
Yeah, Stringer Bell is the president.
And they are like, will we go to the president?
We can't contact him.
What was really funny is,
all this is going on, all right?
Like, you know, it's literally death con.
This is the apocalypse, basically, all right?
The missile is heading to Chicago, all right?
Interesting choice of target.
Yeah, yeah.
What are they going to be Washington, you know?
I don't know, maybe the geography is closer, maybe.
Okay.
Look, I don't know.
I haven't really sat down and looked into, like, a nuclear missile.
I guess I'm the loser in that sense, you know?
Yes, I'd agree with that.
Every growing boy should do that, you know?
It's like playing catch at your dad.
Yeah.
All right.
So, it was really funny as well.
there's a press conference, like,
uh, miss,
you know,
the woman who does the press conferences,
the journalist,
like,
oh, miss,
is it true that there's like
some kind of like,
uh,
issues going on?
Um,
you know,
we're getting reports and some kind of like,
maybe something's heading towards Chicago.
Well,
actually, uh,
and again,
the guy's like,
come and go with us now.
I was like,
oh, Jesus.
Yeah.
Uh,
but they find the president.
Okay,
he's at a charity,
it's like the my pet goat moment.
He's at a charity basketball game with Angel Reese.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's with Angel Reese and a bunch of, like, kids, okay?
And literally the security guys come.
They grab Angel Reese and leave the president there.
You're way more important.
The WNBA is such a great organization, you know.
She had Victoria's Secret.
Did she?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So the guys saw that, like, we need her in the bunker.
Nice.
Yeah.
So they grab, leave all the kids there, be like, goodbye, Mr. President.
He's like, fuck you, kids.
So the president's in the chopper
As he's flying off like
Hey, what do you want to be when you blow up
Sike? And then he flies away
You know?
I don't get the chock, Mr. President.
Oh, give it 20 minutes.
You never will.
So he's in a chopper, right?
And all these guys, all the head security
are all talking to him.
And it's very methodical, which I liked.
Some people thought it was boring.
I liked it.
with the briefcase,
okay,
essentially like,
okay,
Mr.
President,
here's a
color-coded thing
of all the options,
all the options,
option A, B, C, D,
you know,
and here's kind of
list of all,
like option A,
the casualties
with that,
to kind of what will happen
next,
okay,
it's all very organized,
like,
something that's like,
again,
like nuclear apocalypse.
We got lovely,
it's just very,
like,
clinical and non,
like,
emotionless kind of.
Lovely,
look,
It's on comic sands as well.
You know, it's a bit quirky.
It's like, what are we going to do, Mr. President?
And he's like, give me a minute, son.
This is kind of, this is a big deal.
But the guy, I love you.
Again, he's very emotional.
It's like, what are we going to do, sir?
How many people are going to kill now?
Come on.
Yeah, and he's trying to call his wife, the president.
Right.
But he can't really get true to her.
He calls his side pace.
It's like, meet me in the bunker.
No, not the fuck bunker.
No, the actual bunker.
yeah um so the whole thing is he's like panicked doesn't know what to do alright he's like sir sir sir
we need it now we need the option now sir sir you know it's all very tense you know um the one bit
i was like oh it's a bit too movie kind of like schmaltzy spielberg stuff yeah is jared harris
is one of the top guys in the military okay so they got him doing an american accent which
is all like you know i uh i'd rather he'd say a british person you know but anyway it doesn't
I don't think they'd have a British person, like, high up in the U.S.
I know, I know, I know, but I'm just very aware that he's British, all right?
Okay.
Point is, okay, so he's like, yeah, yeah, don't worry.
He's got, one second, he calls his daughter.
He's like, hey, honey, how are you?
Dad, my therapist says, shouldn't talk to you right now.
I'm with my new boyfriend.
You got a boyfriend?
What?
Yeah, I got a boyfriend.
But mom, I'm still upset about when mom died.
Last, you know, it's like, it's like, well, honey,
hope you, hope you have a good time with your boyfriend, you know, hangs up.
She's going to die.
Tell mom I said hello.
What?
Click.
Yeah.
There's only bit, but it ends, kind of a prick tease of an ending where it's like,
Mr. President, what are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
And it cuts to black.
And the final scene is a bunch of people.
Don't stop believe it.
If you don't get that, you can go fuck yourself.
And the final scene is a bunch of people going into a bunker,
essentially, and that's the end.
Yeah.
And I get why you didn't show it, but I do kind of want to see the mushroom clouds.
Sure, yeah.
I want to see the aftermath.
I want to see the bodies, you know, the shadows being burnt into the wall.
Yeah, yeah.
The race of like, you know, ghouls and goblins that are born out of the radiation.
All the monsters look like the monster from Robocop running around the place.
I want to see that kind of shit
but I can understand
why it's going to be serious
but I liked it
it was fun
it's just fun to see
people being stressed
Are we never find out
who launched it?
No
more ambiguous
Yeah
I don't know if I like that
Probably Russia
I mean it's heavily employed
as Russia
Okay
I mean the guy was like
We didn't do it
doing like the
Doctor Evil thing yeah
One million dollars
Okay
we're trying to do
Austin Powers references
but yeah
yeah
I prefer to love guru
well
and that's why
we launched the Duke
I liked it though
like that
before we talk about
Ed Gein
Ed Gein's the big piece
this episode
okay
when I really quickly
talk with some books
I'm reading
because I haven't been
watching too much stuff
apart from
the entire
season three of Tulsa King
apart from that
I'm not watching that much at all
I should mention Tulsa King
You didn't watch season one or two
Just season three
Season three, that's all you need
Because season three has got
Kevin Pollock
And like the idea of Kevin Pollock
And Stallone
Sharing the screen
Oh my God
It's like heat
You know these two heavy weights together
So
I kind of skim through season one and two
Or I get an idea of what it's about
So season one of Tulsa King
Sylvester Stallone is kicked out of New York
because he's too tough
He's so tough and cool
New York can't handle him
The five families are like
You're two punk rocks
And his dick is too big
Uh huh
So he goes to Tulsa and he takes over like
The weed dealer business, all right
Okay
Like selling 10 spots
Tulsa, that's Oklahoma
Yeah, yeah
Right okay
So he takes over Tulsa
Him and Martin Star take over Tulsa
said. Perfect. Like the
Crayet Twins. You can't
tell them apart.
So, season two then
he takes on a billionaire
weed dealer
played by Neil McDonough.
Oh yeah. And Neil McDonough
is also working with the triads.
Right. So it's Martin Starr
and Sylvester Sloan versus the triads.
And they easily defeat the triads.
Of course. And they earn the triads
respect.
Because they're also a great warring
now season
three they've gone
even crazier even bigger
season three they've gotten to
the bourbon game
the bourbon game
yeah they're now selling
bourbon okay
so which is
legal yeah yeah but it's 50
year bourbon so each bottle
costs like a million
dollars huh but here's the thing
uh
Robert Patrick
yeah he's the
bourbon king of Tulsa.
Right. So you can't sell bourbon on
his territory. So now they're
going up against
the bourbon king.
Right. And to make even harder for Stallone,
he's being captured
by the FBI. And the FBI
need his help.
Uh-huh. Because he's so cool and
tough and strong. Yeah. The FBI
swear to God, needs Stallone
to take down an IRA
agent. What? The IRA
are in Tulsa
Oklahoma
up to their old tricks
you know
it makes perfect sense
and the FBI
needs the loan
to take down
the IRA
this is very fucking stupid
no it's not
what you're talking about
so it's all angles
you've got the FBI
to worry about
the Bourbon King
to worry about
and the IRA
all together
and but there's still
time for comedy as well
it's not all drama
like just one bit
all right
very funny
so Martin Star
has to drop a duffel bag
full of money to these gangsters
all right
but it's Martin Star
okay so I'm laughing already
he has a green electric car
a little small mini car
oh yeah
and he runs out of a battery
because he's such a
he's such a nerd
yeah yeah he's still old
and be like yeah he's fucking gay nerds
but that was wrong with a Mustang
Maybe a diesel engine, you know.
What's wrong with you guys?
But then Martin Star has to walk there with duffel bag.
But when he drops duffel bag off, he opens it.
It's actually full of comic books.
Oh.
He got his duffel bags mixed up.
He had a duffel bag full of comic books.
I can see why you related to this so much.
Because that's what nerds do.
We just have duffel bags full of comic book.
The one that looks the exact seems a money one, right?
He's like, oh no.
But at the end, okay, he has a fight.
actually takes a gun and threatens the guy
and he's like a man. He's a badass.
Yeah.
Touch my fucker comic books!
Yeah.
But Stallone and this, all right?
I forgot, he's like 80 years old or
older. Yeah. He's an old man.
But he still,
all the women want him. Of course.
He's still the toughest guy around.
Okay, like he can, like the biggest heavy as possible.
He just like, doesn't you have to like hit them?
He just like, one, touch them with a pinky and they,
uh, and die.
but there's a funny bit in it where
Kevin Pollock has a self-driving car
and he sends it to get Stallone
for a meeting
because they're working under cover
all right
is he in the FBI?
Yeah, Kevin Pollock's the head of the FBI
right, okay.
So it's a self-driving car
so it's a weird thing, it's very funny
I don't know if it's meant to be just funny
all right, but Stallone gets in it,
it and then the doors locked, hey, where is it, where is, what's going on?
And the car starts driving, starts playing gnaws.
And for some reason Sloan hates gnaws.
They, what the fuck is this?
He pulls out a gun and starts shooting the radio.
Ah, hey, I'm west side till I die.
Fuck this is this cause bullshit.
What the fuck.
And so he goes to Kevin Pollock, all right?
And they're driving to do some mission, okay?
But they get stopped by a cop because Kevin Pollock's driving too fast.
and Stallone
charms the cop
so he doesn't give
Kevin Pollock a ticket
Kevin Pollock the head of the FBI
Yeah yeah
And Kevin Paul said oh God I'm going to lose my license
I'm in so much trouble
Oh no
But then all right
Turns out the cop was working for Stallone
And this is all ploy
To kind of
to win over Kevin Pollock
Now I've got blackmail
Yeah, I've got you dead to writes
A traffic ticket
You'll never outlive that shame
Now you'll do what I want to do
Alright
He gets one traffic ticket
He's like writes a note to his family
Like goodbye
He's got the cyanide pill
Ready to go
He does the you know like the
He's playing like the American anthem
You know
And like one's final salute
And then
And then jumps off the ledge
Yeah so it's very silly
And there's lots of very awkward comedy
You know
A lot of it based around Martin Starr
It's almost hateful in a way
Okay
A lot of like you know
Look at the bourbon
There's a thing called the bunghole
The bunghole
Yes the hole in the barrel of bourbon
Okay
You know you can't jam the thing into the bunghole
And pull it out
And it's like Martin Starr be like
Hey it's the bunghole
What do you say bunghole
Look at this guy
But you like the bunghole
you like up the bunghole
You're reaching comic books
While you're getting in the bunghole
Yeah
And then at the end
There's a fight scene
Sloan kicks him up to the ass
I got him in the bunghole
And you'll laugh
And Martin starts like
It's a part of the barrel
Yeah
Fucking
Bunghole head over here
It's a
It's a Taylor Sheridan show
Oh I didn't mention
Stavester Stallone
As somehow
he's defeated all the Mafia in New York.
Right. So now they're all
out of business. Yeah. So all the Mafia
guys work in a coffee shop now.
Oh, right. Frank Grillo is one of them.
Yeah. Like a hipster coffee shop.
It's where to God, okay? It's like
very funny. It's then me like,
hey, I don't go working a coffee shop
now. Gen X, Gen Z, Jen,
what the fuck?
And, uh... Yeah, a lot of Taylor Sherton's
like, all of his stuff
is all about just older
guys who are like, oh,
What, you probably identify as a, you know, a machiato?
Do you want gender fluid in your coffee?
There is actually like a woman who says, I'm lactose intolerant.
Hey, what do it is?
Oh, forget about it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's very, like, painful comedy.
Yeah.
But there's a certain charm to a certain genesis, genesis.
The geneseecois.
Exactly, yeah, yeah.
yeah yeah there's a certain uh-la-la about the whole thing that i i kind of enjoy yeah i hope it keeps
going for another like 10 years i want to see just how far they can push it with stilohan where he's
like in like a wheelchair but everyone else's like whoa don't piss off the king you know yeah yeah
you want me to take you i'll take you all out and after like awkward cuts it's like it's like
12 guys
Sloan's there
and then like
he caught away
like boom boom
biff bamboo
and like
who else do
come on
he just dies
on camera
yeah
but I enjoy
I enjoy it for a silliness
well that's good
and we're getting
the spin-off soon
there's a spin-off coming
yeah Nola King
Nola King
yeah
New Orleans
oh
that's Sam L Jackson
really
yeah
wow
so apparently later on
the season
Sam's gonna come along
it's gonna be like a very
awkward, like, hey, how you doing?
Sam Jackson.
Where are you going? I'm going
to New Orleans. You can call me
the Nola King. I sure
would like to see your fur ventures
on Paramount Plus.
Something like that, you know,
something seamless. Yes, yes.
So I will watch
more. I didn't watch any more
Jimmy Fallon, though. Sorry.
What's Jimmy Fallon doing? Jimmy Fallon's
on brand? Oh, shit. I told you about
just last week and you've forgotten.
I forgot about that.
sorry my bad
yeah
I kind of tried
to forget about it
you know
like a horrible
forget about it
yeah
there you go
all right
what are we doing
here
Jesus Christ
okay I'll move on
something else then
alright
we'll talk about
Ed Geen in the minute
I'm really the saving
Ed Gein
I'll talk about
what I'm reading
so I'm reading
quite a lot actually
I'm really enjoying it
helps us so
because my brain
is just so crazy
and twisted
yeah
I'm just freaking
always
thinking of deep thoughts.
Yes.
So reading helps
to relax me.
Right.
I'm reading real books for once.
Not just like coloring books
and Doctor Who graphic novels.
Yeah, yeah.
So this is all real books.
I'm reading.
One book I'm reading is Long London
by Alan Moore.
Oh, okay.
So Alan Moore, it's annoying.
It's still kind of a graphic novel though,
isn't it, Brian?
I actually wish he did less graphic novels now
because his prose is so good
and so fun.
It's very funny
the novel
that I kind of
wish he
kind of did less
of the graphic
because I think
like if you had more novels
to be more kind of like
well respected
with the kind of
more kind of snobby
side of literary world
the intelligentsia
yeah
people still looked at
oh you do like
what like funny books
do you
like the B no
is that it
I'll tell you
Alan Moore
he's a fucking workhorse
because he hasn't done
that many novels
he'd one novel
I think in the 90s
called Voices of Fire
right
And that, I actually have that, but it's, it's, be honest, it's kind of hard to read, because that is all set in Northampton, where he's from.
Right.
Over like 100 years.
No, way more than that.
It starts off with Cavemen and it goes all the way up to like 2003.
Yeah, that is more than 100 years.
I'm glad you know that.
Well, like 200 years, yeah.
250 blumen years long.
But the first chapter was written in Caveman speak.
So it's kind of hard to get through that, you know?
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you'd be able to speak homo erected.
Hey-oh.
More unerected yet.
No, no, Brian.
You're ruined my punchline.
Fucking asshole.
I had a good punchline.
You came along shit on it.
Story my life.
But he then, his next novel was called Jerusalem.
Oh.
And Jerusalem, he was writing this for years.
It's 1,200 pages.
So it's this huge, big novel, all right?
And it's about ghosts and kind of like,
again, it's over a long time period.
And I think the main premise is ghosts don't experience time like we do.
Okay.
So a ghost from the 18th century can meet a ghost from like 2017.
Uh-huh.
Let's say.
And like it doesn't really affect them the way it does for us, all right?
Right.
So it's like different ghosts meeting different people and then they tell their stories, all right?
I think actually Charlie Chaplin's a character in a young Charlie Chaplin's actually character.
He did this like 1,000 page book.
I was like, geez, that's a lot.
He'll probably take easy after that.
Yeah.
His next thing he's worked on now is called Long London.
It's a five-part series.
Each is, they're all tick books, all right?
So it's a big, long thing.
And it's kind of like, if I had to sell it to you,
let's say you're a Hollywood producer.
Okay.
I've only got a few seconds.
I was like, it's Get Carter meets Harry Potter.
Huh.
Get Potter.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
It's not exactly that, but, no, I'll tell you what,
it's Peaky Blinders.
But we're magical elements.
So it's like 50s, London, all right?
Yeah.
And it's like gangsters,
but there's also kind of a secret world
in London of like wizards and warlocks and stuff.
Yeah, all right.
But it's very kind of like, you know,
there's a Jewish gangster called Jack the Spot.
He's proper like he'll cut you up and stuff like that.
And there's a real world character.
And like Oswald Mosley,
he was the head of the black shirts.
They were like a fascist group.
Oh, right.
That inspired the blue shirts in Ireland.
So, like, there's a lot of real people in it.
It's very, it's very hard not to spend the whole thing on Wikipedia.
Because there's all the, whenever someone's mentioned, you know for a fact that is someone.
Right.
And he's kind of want to, like, lock it up.
Yeah, but we have to, like, and he's stopped, otherwise I won't be able to follow the plot at all.
Yeah, I get you.
Yeah, so it's basically about a young boy who, um, his parents died, I think in the Blitz.
He's called Dennis Knuckleyard.
Dennis Knuckleyard.
Yeah, yeah.
and he's like
no he's like 18 I think
and he lives this old biddy
who's like a mad old woman
all right
and she runs a bookshop
and they live above the bookshop basically
all right
and he's got
he has to go find these books
off a dealer
all right
and he finds one book
that shouldn't exist
it's a fictional book
the Quran
yes
I'm with you now
okay
I'm on
with some dark spooky magic
that destroys London
oh think about it
no so it's a book that's actually
from
some short story
that mentioned a fictional book
and it's the real book
so something's like
it's a book that shouldn't exist
and there's all these gangsters
and stuff after it
because if you get the fictional book
it opens the doorway
into the other London
with all the wizards and goblins and stuff
It sounds a bit silly
But it's treated very seriously
You know, like the violence and stuff
And it's a very funny bit
Actually near the start
Where like
So it's a book shop
It's an old biddy all right
And the young boy, Dennis
He finds a kind of a nudie mag
Oh yeah
It's like oh my goodness
Yeah yeah
So he brings upstairs all right
To do his business
And the next day
The old lady finds it
It's like
Oh you dirty bugger
What are you doing with this?
Yeah
What are you doing with it?
He's like
Oh, I was good
bring it back i swear he's like oh oh i know what you were doing ha ha ha ha well i tell you what enjoy
he's like oh that's very awkward okay but then he goes back to look at the the woman and a nudie
mag all right and it's her yes how'd you get it yeah yeah yeah it's you know pretty obvious i couldn't
i always crashed the car i like to read when i'm driving sure yeah yeah i was like what
and so what she was like a pin-up girl back in the day we find out more than that we find out more
about her. She, she was called, uh, uh, uh, you just called her, she lived a, um, a gangster back in
day. Okay. She was known for burying people alive. Really? Yeah, yeah. So she, she, she, she knewty
girl, she went from nudie girl to actress to gangster. Oh. To bookshop lady. Well, it's kind of like
the Katie Price heart, you know. She probably, I reckon, you know, she gets Harvey to go out in the
dead of night and snuff out all of her enemies, you know, Peter Andre, but her watch is back.
L-O-U country
But I'm enjoying it, all right
I'm liking it a lot
The other thing I'm reading is
La Belle Sauvage
Oh
Yeah, sounds fancier than it is
I'll be honest
Are you familiar with the works of Philip Pullman
Who did the Northern Lights trilogy?
No
Okay, so Northern Lights is basically
Harry Potter for kids who read The Guardian
Wow
It's for smart kids, all right?
Okay
You probably read your Harry Potter's, didn't you?
Oh, wow!
even. What were you reading?
Wasn't reading nothing. I was out
getting ass and pussy
I wasn't a bookworm as a kid.
Really? I feel sorry for you. I was into like
really terrible 80s action movies
and good ones as well. I watched a lot of Stephen
Segal movies when I was a kid. I wouldn't have liked you
when I was a kid. You don't like me now, so that tracks.
I really looked down on you. I were like, oh, you watched that
mindless drivel
I call it the idiot box
so he wrote these books
in the 90s all right
the Northern Lights trilogy
his Dark Materials
trilogy it got turned to a film
in 2007
didn't really do that well
and it got turned to a HBO show
a few years ago with
McAvoy was in it and
Lynn Manuel Miranda Miranda
and stuff like that
yeah so
yeah
don't know how that one passed me by
all my
favorites um so it's basically all right it's set in a parr you want if we spoil this please okay
it's set in a parallel universe to ours where the church runs society basically and uh
all people have a little demon with them okay so when you're born a demon appears that's what
they call it a demon all right right and it's linked to you okay and when your kid the demon can change shape
so you can turn into like a dog, a cat, a robin, whatever, you know, eagle.
But as you grow older, your demon kind of settles, and it kind of represents who you are.
Okay.
So like, for instance, I would probably have something noble, you know, like a, like a little dirty badger.
With one eye.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You probably have like a deer or something like that, like a noble elder.
A deer.
Yeah, well, yeah, something like that.
All right.
You can talk to your demon.
Okay.
So, like, you can, like, have a little chat to your demon, but you can't be separated from your demon, all right?
Right.
So if you, you know, let's say if you got arrested somehow and they took your demon away physically, all right?
Yeah.
You would die.
Oh.
Yeah, you're connected.
And when you die, your demon would die.
Almost like an old, like, you know, an old man with a dog?
Wait, so everyone else can see your demons?
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
I thought it was just like an imaginary friend
kind of thing. No, no, it's there. So like you'd be chatting
to someone, let's say you got like your parrot there
right, that's my demon. Oh, okay.
Okay, yeah. And you might have a little chat like,
what's that? Oh, no, I don't, I think he's all right.
Mm-hmm. No, I don't think he's gay.
You know, like, uh, what's he saying about me?
Yeah. But like, so that's the world.
My demon is just Alan Carr.
On your shoulder.
Oh, what's that?
Yeah, so that's the kind of
world okay
and then as it goes on
we find out
they're doing
experiments to
how do they phrase
it now
basically pierce
the wall
between realities
and that leads
to the second
book is saying
our world
right
and it's about
I think they
travel which is
a knife
they can use
to cut through
reality
it's like a magic
knife all right
and then
like people from
our world
come into
their world
there's a big
battle then
in something
okay
And this is
That's what I'm reading now.
Right.
Yeah.
I read them in primary school, by the way.
Okay.
But this is a new series now,
which is like a sequel series.
And in that,
all the kids are grown up.
So it's like more adult now.
Oh, okay.
So like,
so the kids one were probably PG kind of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like, so now they're,
they're all fucking their own demons.
It's like euphoria now, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The demons in the cook chair.
bed do him over
yeah it's like it's a fucking fox smoking you know and uh and then like it's like it could be anything
you know you have a big polar bears your demon it's all as an animal then
yeah it can't be anything else you can't be like an alien or a cyberman or something
like that you know it has to be uh like a honda civic
or optimist brine they're pretty cool yeah or phone box yeah um oh my god yeah uh actually speaking
of doctor who all right
Wait.
Let me just restart this with some exciting Doctor Who news for everyone.
Oh, good.
Talk, wait.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, I don't know.
I kind of blacked out there.
He was talking about demons and some other shit.
I don't know.
I'm very weird.
I just hog the show.
I'm sorry about that.
We'll talk about Ed Gehan, I promise.
I know you're salivating.
I'm not, you know.
Real quick, just some Doctor Who news.
All right.
There's rumors that the fact.
some missing episodes.
Right.
Now, for you, it doesn't mean much.
No.
For me and my community,
this is very exciting.
Uh-huh.
So the way it works is,
there's, I believe,
91 episodes of Doctor Who
they're missing.
How?
How are they missing?
Because the BBC didn't record stuff
back in the day.
Just tape over everything.
Okay.
So they found a little episodes
because episodes would be sent out
to other parts of the world
to be broadcast,
you know,
everywhere from America to Africa,
wherever,
And then years later, they found those episodes, okay?
Okay.
So they recovered a lot of episodes.
Still 91 episodes that are just gone.
Right.
Lost the time.
But there's always been rumors of secret collectors.
They have episodes and they trade them for big, big money.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So there's a, I think there's a group now called Film is Fabulous.
And they are kind of like hunters and preservers of lost media.
Like Nazi hunters.
but more serious
way more serious
actually important
yeah they got guns and shit
like take out the trash
so there is like people
in the UK and all the world
who've got like
secret dungeons
alright kind of a bit like
nasty memorabilia right
and they have type in the code
and they go down
they got an episode from like
1964
like oh oh yeah
and they like
these this is like the black market
it's like you know that
take on the internet
where you can buy drugs
and prostitutes
and the...
Oh, like the Silk Road.
Yeah, this is like the Silk Road for Doctor Who.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, so the rumor is now that there's a collector with some tapes, sorry,
and they're in the process now trying to negotiate with him.
But it's very serious.
It's like fucking getting the hostages back in Israel.
Why wouldn't he just release them if he's a fan?
Would he not just want to...
No, but they had to sit on it, you know?
I have something you don't.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's like something you'd do.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I would be good.
I'd release to the public
For money
Yeah
I reckon
You know
When your father dies
All of like your
inheritance
Will go towards
Buying lost
Doctor Who
Episodes
You know
Worthed it
This is for you dad
Anyway
Let's talk with something
You won't talk about
Right
I don't
You're making it out
Like this is
My favourite thing
Of all time
Ed Gein
You got your
Homemade
Football Jersey
With Gein
On the back
Gein 69
Oh, that's funny.
So anyway, so you watched Ed Gein first.
Yeah.
And you were sending me some interesting images from the show, so I watched it.
Yeah.
Really bad.
It was terrible.
It's a bad show.
Everything about it.
I'm not defending it at all.
When I first heard Charlie Hunnam was cast as Ed Gein, I was like, oh, this is going to be bad.
Yeah.
And I was right.
He's not good.
No, but the thing is, it's all so bad that he doesn't.
even like it's not like his performance
as stand out as
oh it would all be good if it wasn't for
him yeah yeah the whole thing is terrible
isn't that weird because in all the other
previous seasons you had like you know Richard Jenkins
Evan Peters yeah
the two guys who played the Menendez
twins they were very good
Javier Bardems
yeah they were all very good
no this one is really poor
there's no one good in it
even good people are
are bad in the
show. So, like, what's her name, Metcalf?
Oh, Laurie Metcalf.
Yeah, they don't want to give her much to do, you know.
There's no, I felt
it wasn't a great
showing.
No. You know, you could have a lot more with that character
was the mother's such a big part of the Ed Gein story.
Yeah. Tom Hollander, who played
Alfred Hitchcock.
Oh. He's a great actor, you know,
I like him a lot. I didn't even know that was him.
He couldn't. The head
Yeah. Was crazy.
Very terrible Alfred Hitchcock makeup.
I could not.
believe how bad it is.
Yeah.
We've seen a few Hitchcocks.
Toby Jones played Hitchcock.
Hopkins played Hitchcock.
Yeah.
And in that,
they kind of like let the guys,
you know,
they're both,
you know, just make him fat.
Uh-huh.
Even, like, he would lean in to that.
He'd do the whole profile thing.
Yeah, yeah.
In this,
decided to make Hitchcock,
all the fat's gone to his head.
Mm-hmm.
So he's got a massive fucking alien head,
like Star Trek.
Yeah.
And his body is kind of like skinny.
Yeah, like a mace.
or something.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's very odd.
It was so distra.
I actually almost shit myself and I saw it.
That was the scariest part.
Not in the show is scary.
No.
They're not trying to be scary or tense or anything.
No.
They're going for like, it just, I don't know.
I wouldn't even say they're going for a committe.
I think it's unintentionally funny in a lot of places.
It's very like, we're freaking, oh yeah.
We're pushing it.
They're going for just like the very, uh, what's the word?
just like over the top
grotesque you know
in your face
like you know
it's necrophilia
and it's you know
digging up bodies
and making
it's weird how
lamps from people's skin
isn't it weird though how it all feels
so like I was checking my watch
watching like I'm not a fan
of necrophilia
yeah but you shouldn't be bored
by necrophilia
yeah that's what I mean
yeah yeah like it's an interesting
topic and when you show it
it should be like
inherently, it's like a bank robbery
in a film,
that's inherently kind of like, oh, what the,
you know, get the money, you know?
It should grab your attention.
Yeah, yeah. It's like, but they
actually have them just hump in a dead body
and I'm like, yawn.
Yeah, wake me up with something interesting
happens. Yeah.
It's almost impressive. And
I wouldn't, if it was just dumb trash,
here, I will say one thing, I looked up.
So, Ryan Murphy
did the first two seasons.
This season's not Ryan Murphy.
Okay.
It's another guy called Ian, who's straight.
Huh.
So that's the problem right there.
Right.
So a lot of fun, kind of trashy gay, edge-lowered stuff in the first two seasons is all gone.
Yeah.
And they're trying to be more intelligent now, by maybe you're the problem.
Oh.
Not you personally.
Don't worry, okay?
I just mean, like, they're trying to make some kind of point about, like, oh, you like Texas chainsaw massacre and sloyal lambs.
Are you any worse than Ed Gein?
Think about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're kind of trying to make a point
and it doesn't really work.
It does not work at all.
Also, back to Charlie Hoddle,
like that voice that he does.
He became Irish at one stage.
When he gets older, he gets proper like,
ah, Jesus.
Like, Ed Gein didn't talk like that.
Hello, Mother.
Yes, mother.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's kind of like a weird
Corbett the Frog kind of voice or something.
He's terrible in it.
And to make it worse
in all the interviews he does,
he's like, yeah.
I mean, it makes you think, like, who's the real
monster?
Mm. Yeah.
Like, no, it doesn't.
It was very, like, the whole thing was very
unfocused as well. Like, it was jumping
between timelines, and it was just like,
you know, it shows Hitchcock making
psycho, and then Toby Hooper
making a chainsaw massacre.
Oh, by the way, you mentioned, it's very interrupted
there. All the fantasy sequences
is so fucking, like, you know,
you know, the bit where, we're those, like, Holocaust
uh, victims all running?
Yes, yeah.
That's a pretty bad taste there, right?
Well, because they say that he was obsessed with, what's her name, Ilsa Coke?
Yeah, yeah.
No, I get what they're trying to do.
Yeah.
But it's like, I know these guys are not real.
I've got to sit there and take it.
What, Holocaust victims?
All right, Brian, Jesus Christ.
I've listened to him Nick Funte's reason.
No, a better example, okay, the Toby Hooper bit where Toby Hooper starts killing people.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I am pretty sure
Toby Hooper didn't actually kill people
He didn't take a chainsaw to people
In a shopping mall
But we got to sit there and watch it
And I'm like, I get it, yes
Oh, it's a chainsaw massacre
In Texas
I gotta sit there
And then it cuts him
It was just him thinking it
Yeah
I'm not
Amazed by this
I'm like, whoa
I just like all right
That scene's over now, thank fuck
It seems like when they recreate scenes
It's like
oh, that's a very good
recreation
of like the movies
yeah
although weird
I kind of get
why did it
but so
with let's say
Texas Chains on Massacre again
they recreate that scene
like
pitch perfect
where you're almost like
is that
no it's not
but with the
psycho shower scene
they deliberately made it
so that it's
Charlie Hunum
stabbing the girlfriend
in the shop
yeah yeah they synced up
with that
but like they
even when they're watching it in the cinema
they make it way more extreme
they actually show nudity in blood
well I think that's you know
to kind of reflect that that's how it felt
to those viewers at the time
I get why but
I don't like it
okay yeah
I mean I don't think anyone is really like
I don't think anyone's really saying it's good
people are just sort of watching it out of a morbid curiosity
Paul Schrader said it was good
well okay
did it? He did you
Interesting.
I mean...
So there?
Well...
Checkmate.
I feel like an idiot, no.
And didn't he get accused of something there?
Being awesome.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Of directing light sleeper with David Spade.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, it was just...
It was all bad.
Charlie Hodrum.
But like, you know, any time he's like doing a voice or whatever, it's never good.
Like his...
Not to beat a dead horse, but like him in Greenstreet.
with the terrible Cockney accent, you know?
Yeah.
Now, what about, we should have had a crossover,
Gein Street. Think about that.
Oh, that's very good.
Mother, I'm the top boy in the firm.
It's middle wall away.
They're trying to mug me off, mother.
You know, it's funny, because they're all...
Forever blowing bubbles.
They're all going, yeah, it's fucking habit, yeah.
Well, where are, he's like,
they're fucking a dead body.
Oh, Ed, what are you doing, brava?
How we have to kick the fucking edge in?
I'm blowing bubbles.
Didn't mean nothing by it,
just being friendly as all.
I didn't like, by the way,
he's so good looking,
alright?
Yeah.
Ed Gein didn't look like that.
And they have him like,
you know,
shirtless,
he's like,
you know,
basically naked,
all right.
You know,
Ed Gein,
though,
wasn't a bad-looking fella.
I'll let me just say that
right now.
Is he on your,
what's that,
you know,
like the cheat list?
By a hall pass?
Yeah,
hall pass.
Yeah,
would that be a red flag
if the guy your day
is like,
hey,
look,
you want to fuck,
you know
Travis Kelsey
who
I want to fuck
Ed Gein's
got a problem
with that
dig him up
I will
you know what's crazy
I'll be a
Geener Gooner
a Beiner
no
you know what is
weird
so it's this whole
show
was it eight episodes
by Ed Gein
yeah
they never included
what's I think
the most
interesting thing
is that
I don't know
when
but at some stage
Werner Herzog
got involved
and he actually
recorded stuff
with Ed Gein
did like interviews
with him. Yeah, yeah. And at one stage, you're planning on digging up a body.
Wow. And filming it, all right, to kind of get inside the mind of Ed Guillen. Oh.
Yeah. And then Vernon Herzog was like, fuck it. And narrate it. Like, yes. I am inserting
myself and slowly, uh, fucking it with sad music playing as well. I didn't know that at all.
Yeah, it wouldn't that be way more interesting. But then they take like insane liberty.
like so that like the last episode they do that like mind hunter
thing where like the mind hunter guys come in and interview them and from their
interview it helps them catch ted bundy like all of that's made up like none of that
happened it's like why would you also you know the bit where he goes to hell and meets
charlie manson yeah that sounds like a joke that's yeah like i'm amazed they didn't have
a proper like lindmanuel miranda rap like it seems like that's something
they would do.
Yeah, yeah.
That was like some 80s music.
Yeah.
He's just meeting all the different serial killers that he's inspired.
Oh, and also, like, how, like, the bit where Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill and
Leatherface all scared a kid.
Yeah.
Who, like, it looked like an S&L sketch.
Yeah.
Could you make anything scary?
Like, not instead, there's no, like, build up to anything.
Yeah.
If they just walk out, like, and it's like, hey, ooh, look, I'll change, though.
Yeah.
And that's it, like, it does look like something they had a day to film, and they didn't know, like, blocking or anything.
They didn't know storyboards.
Very lazy.
It feels like it was just like a mishmash of ideas, and they shot it.
They got to the edit as like, well, this doesn't work, but we're not reshooting anything.
so just tie it together
and let's get the fuck out of here.
Oh yeah,
it's coming back to me now.
All the stuff
like Anthony Perkins
Yeah.
It's just
there's interesting stories
and it's almost like
you're wasting them by
like the stuff
for him into conversion therapy
and all that.
Like I would like to see
Anthony Perkins film
at some stage.
Like his story's very interesting.
Yeah.
Like he was working
with fucking Orson Wells
and stuff.
He was very well regarded
and then at near the end
he's doing like, you know,
um,
Psycho 4, I believe
while actively dying of AIDS.
That's the only thing you can get
workers. And his wife's like,
why are you so sick all the time?
Stop asking me questions.
Look after a little goofball, son.
All's good.
The fuck I'm in a hell. I'm not feeling
all's good right now.
Yeah. No, it was a bad show.
Yeah. But what can you say?
But it's one of those things, like, it's almost like
there's so much being thrown at you
it's hard to process it
yeah so
you're sort of inundated with like
and it was just like there seemed to be
no rhyme or reason to the
exactly yeah the jumping back
and forth is just kind of like you know people say
like oh when AI takes over everything
will feel fake and weird
everything feels like that now anyway
because people don't care
it's all I didn't realize this either so
I always heard that like with Netflix
they have very strict rules
about the color of everything
and like how things are framed
they also have their own cameras
Netflix oh really
yeah it's like these are the cameras you use
okay so that they want everything
to look the same
so it's basically like we're getting
it's almost like we're aiming
towards going AI
essentially where it's like we have to make everything
up the same
every kind of like so it has the kind of fake look to it
yeah so that when you eventually do
transition to a fully AI thing
you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.
Exactly, yeah.
Because they're pushing now, what's her name, Lily?
Seeing her.
Who's Lily?
The AI actress.
Oh, yeah, Lily Norwood.
Yeah, that's a, yeah, they're pushing her.
Tilly Norwood or something like that.
Sorry, sorry, Tilly.
Fuck you, Brian, you asshole.
I thought I was in my shot there.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, they're pushing her, and like, there's obviously paid articles in, like, different newspapers.
I've been like, I have to say now, I think Lily's actually great.
Mm-hmm.
And she's the future of Hollywood.
yeah
and then all
the actors are like
this is wrong
yeah
shut the fuck up
it'd be pretty cool
actually
think of this okay
when AI takes
over Hollywood
and then like
you know
we're driving along
it's like
Ralph finds
well you know
we'll watch your car
for money
oh yeah
they're all desperate
oh
all the prostitutes
you go to
well
you can make them
look like
fucking Tom Baker
you know
just big a
big scarf.
Yeah, yeah.
Wrap the scarfer
out by cock.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, real quick, actually, yeah.
That should remind you me there.
I'm still reading those
Rotto Carol Kelly books.
Oh, yeah.
I'm loving him.
They're very funny.
Okay.
And it's kind of like,
I've embraced the world now,
and now I'm getting all the in-jokes
and stuff and the running jokes.
So I've drank the Kool-Aid now.
And the guy, Paul Howard,
is the writer.
He's very good at keeping a joke going.
Yeah.
Where it's not funny at the third time.
but by the 50th time
it's like I can't fucking deny this
you know
so like little things like
he rode his wife's sister
he doesn't know her name
and they're running jokes
he's always just like
oh what's her name
or then someone interrupts
oh like
and it wouldn't be that funny
though but he's been doing it now
for like 20 bucks
it's like I have to admire
yeah just the commitment to the bit
yeah the commitment to the bit
and like what I like is
Ross the main character
there's no
catarsis there's no like
lessen at all he's just
a complete dick
like one book starts off he's got
a half sister
he just goes into start sniffing her underwear
nice he just likes to sniff
he wants to ride his half sister
it's only half incestuous and he's got like a big
bag of his like souvenirs
and it's all the women he's rode he
collects their underwear oh like trophies
yeah trophies and he sticks a little
thing to it like paper clips it on
a thing of like the name and the date
Wow.
Of all his conquests, you know?
He's always cheating.
Like, so at one stage there, his dad's T-shock now, all right, and they've sold everything
to Russia because they've left the EU.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's riding the guy, I think he's a Russian ambassador.
He's riding his wife, all right?
All right.
But then Putin comes around and his dad, so he has to hide behind the couch,
bollock naked for the whole night while his dad and Putin are like drinking.
fucking Russian whiskey
Russian vodka
and then it ends
with like they agree to give
a oh yeah
they give them the book
of Kells
is a present
oh nice
yeah yeah
but then
some girl from Finglis
spills red wine
all over it
man they're so harsh
and Fingless
in the books
yeah
yeah
not harsh enough
literally is like
yeah people from Fingless
after why
get used to the smell
and the thing
you don't
that's the thing
you never do
yeah
like it's obviously
we're in
I can smell
fingles from here
Jesus Christ
That's just me
Yeah
But you know
It's funny
Because I was like
I read the first book
The Miseducation of
Rosso Carl Kelly
That was published
In like 2000
And Fairfocus is a guy
Paul Howard
So he just self-published this
All right
And he had in the back of his car
And he's drive around selling it
Wow
Yeah to all his rugby friends
And the first book
Is very much like
Kind of a
Imagine an American cycle
but it's a rugby college student
no he's actually
he's doing a leave insert in the first book
so it's like a student
who's just riding everyone
and drinking
like Sean Bateman
well yeah
Patrick Bateman's younger brother
oh right okay yeah
sorry I thought making a joke I didn't get
alright yeah I've even read that book
that's the sad thing all right yeah
the shards
mm-hmm yeah
anyway so
and it's just very like up front
he's a complete dickhead
cheats on everyone all right and
but because he plays rugby
he can do anything he wants
so he just he just literally
he'll go in
give the teacher abuse the teacher
you know says heading back he gets the teacher
fired okay because the principal's like
they're rugby boys yeah and the joke is that
the principal's giving them this drink to make them play
better and it makes them very aggressive
okay so it's like stare you know
yeah yeah yeah I don't know if you got that
oh I got it thank you yeah yeah and just to follow
this character from
like leaving sir to he's in his 40s now
it's pretty fun but my point was
the first book is kind of a little bit sinister in a way
because it's not as goofy
and it's just a guy being a dickhead
and you're like is he gonna rape someone
oh yeah and like he's just like
he's a bit where they all play soggy biscuit
and he's bragging about how he won it you know
and it's like let's go take a weird turn you know
and I read a review about the series
and there's a guy talking about
very kind of like you know guardian stuff
of like, you know, it's a grotesquery
of the upper classes, but it reflects
her fear and, you know, late stage
capitalism and all that. I was like,
who wrote this review?
And it was the guy
who wrote the Kevin movie.
We need to talk about Kevin.
Oh. So we need to talk about Kevin's
kind of like a reaction to the Russell Carl Kelly books.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It is basically, but the thing is like,
it's literally, that character,
that is Russell Carol Kelly.
Yeah.
But if you just grew up
to be an asshole the whole time
Yeah, it's kind of interesting
I do like these books now
I probably
If I read all 21 or 22
I might get a little bit bored of them
Yeah, how many have you read?
So I have read
Braywatch
Grand Camino
Normal Sheeple
And
The Miseducation of Russell Carl Kelly
I feel there's another one as well
They all kind of blend together
yeah yeah um what's you don't know what i oh what's the other one tell you i i'll be i will be honest okay
in bray watch he helps he he he becomes a rugby coach for these kids in bray okay secretary
school kids right and he thinks bray is like a bunch of inbred cunts you know right but he's like
you know they're smelly disgusting people uh but he gets this rag tag team to the to the finals and it looks
we're going to lose but at the end
the kid who was a real fuck up
he gets the
final kick and he wins the game
and they're all celebrating and I was like yes
yeah I got really invested in it
yeah
felt like you won
yeah in a way yeah yeah yeah
so I'm enjoying those books as well
I have a book about Sinn Féin
and I haven't read you
why
give you a time
no okay sorry yeah
I tell you what I read the first few pages
though right kind of introduction
A book about Sinn Féin?
The history of Sinn Féin.
Why would you read that?
What?
Why not?
Why would you read that, though?
What are you reading?
I'm reading
History of the Silk Road, actually.
That's all.
It's pretty interesting.
I'm not very good debate, I'm like.
It's all, yeah, Ross,
Allbrock and, like, the FBI
trying to take him down.
But it's just very,
you know the early days of you can enjoy that okay i'll i'll stick to my mary lu macdonald thank you very
all right uh actually doesn't sound good is it physical book no it's the audio book oh all right
can't really share that put burn on cd no how long is it uh it's like 12 hours yeah 12 cd you should do it
yeah yeah come on no i'll just send you voice notes of a minute a minute each yeah just be reading
it out your memory of it yeah yeah yeah showy
selling fucking ash, right,
pills, fucking a bit of
shang up the snout, right,
up the fucking apples and pears.
Yeah.
Lara, you know, Cockney-Ryman slang,
I don't
care for Cockney-Ryman slang.
It kind of irritates me.
Really? Yeah, it's like if somebody put a schizophrenic
and a thesaurus in a blender
and swirled it around
and then poured it into a dyslexic asshole,
that's what comes out.
I don't like it.
Well, you know the reason for it?
No.
It was to be confusing.
It was to stop the pealers from understanding you.
Mm-hmm.
The cops.
Well, I don't find it very appealing at all, Brian.
I know what's interesting, because some people's brains are wired differently.
So, I knew a guy who was very classically intelligent.
You know, I'm intelligent, but in like a Doctor Who trivia kind of way,
but he was intelligent the way, like, you know, he understood words and, like, you know,
like, you know, he knew how many planets there were.
Yeah.
You know, all that kind of stuff, you know.
But he, I was talking to him about Cockney Rhyman slang,
and he was finding it really, almost like, like, nails on a chalkboard, you're right?
He was just like, what, but why would you say, what?
Yeah.
Apples and pears.
And he was, like, overtinking it was like, so is it like, um.
Try and actually make sense of why you would.
He literally was like, some do the letters or, like, number of letters in it as well.
Is that correspond to any?
No, literally it's like, it sounds like stairs.
He's like, that can't be it.
There must be some of the...
It can't be that stupid.
And for me, it makes perfect sense.
Yeah.
I wish all the words were just like that.
Honey and bees and honey.
Yeah, you go over to the shop
with just bees and honey in your pocket.
Here you go, Miss.
You take it to a literal.
Yeah.
I'm...
We're over an hour.
Anyway, there.
Oh, it was a fun one now.
Yeah.
what will I watch next week
I got a wedding next week
gotta go to
oh yeah
yeah so we'll record
the weddings on Friday
what's your schedule next week
yeah I could do
what Thursday
let's do a Friday
let's get you down
oh yeah
anyone got any objections
yes
be quiet for an hour
yeah
cocky rhymed slag
load of shite
is it?
Yeah
is it like a
traditional wedding
or is it one of those
hippy-dippy
Muslim weddings
you know
one of those
bend it like beckham wedding humanist
ceremonies you know i actually don't know
is it like in a catholic church with a priest
i assume so okay
no funny business because
they're becoming less and less common like the last
three or four weddings i've been to
have all been like not in a church
you know where's a fucking shipper
it's in just
where they have the reception it's like
in the hotel
and it's just like a a humanist
ceremony when they call it dead going to
yeah i know
make a fucking
fucking effort, yeah.
What, do you have a priest there?
No, it's some fucking civil servant.
Pretty much, yeah.
Just some book clerk, you know.
Yeah.
Do they make, like, somebody from like the DMV, you know.
Yes, you know, one of those people who works in DMV.
Well, no, I'm just trying to think now.
So it's, let's say, some boring, like, you know, librarian or whatever, I guess.
Do they do like a now forever, you may now kiss the bride?
at all
They do
Yeah, it is like
There's like
All right
It's like
Subsection 9
3, 4, 7 says
that you're now married
Yeah
Do not kiss
No, it's like
Do you consent to kiss this woman
Yeah
Or else it is rape
It's
Sometimes even if she does consent
She might change your mind
Afterwards
So just be sure
To do that to ruin your career
No, it's like
I just ask Patty Jackson
We have
Well, okay
Wow
You're really drinking the rugby
Kooliate there.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, his dad successfully won a libel case there.
His dad did?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So there.
Right.
I always think it's so funny.
Like, like, someone, someone said that he helped his son or something.
Oh, right.
Okay.
No, I think he, like, I think he, I don't know.
I didn't read the article.
Right.
But I always think about Patty Jackson is so funny.
I used to work for Go Power.
I think he said before.
And they did a deal with Patty Jackson.
After?
No, right before.
Oh, right.
And they had all these teeth.
t-shirts
like Patty Jackson
supports Gold Power
and consent
but he was
winking in the picture
he had his fingers
crossed
we didn't think of anything
at the time
we just thought it normal
you know
but I remember literally
the guy
the manager
of Gold Power
was like it's a shame
he should have taught
that before he did it
you know
he made us suck
like right mugs
didn't it
yeah
then he said
we're worse off
than her
you know
we really had us
over a barrel
you know
Anyway, you were going to say something I interrupted you
Oh, just, yeah, those ceremonies
It is like a
Now we have the ring that represents
You know, the eternity
There is no beginning
There is no it
You know, blah, blah
They do a whole spiel
They have a fucking Richard Dawkins book
Yeah
They do like a voodoo dance
You know
Yeah
And we'll end it there
I am conscious of time
All right
We're taking up the living room
you know.
Yeah, yeah.
So next week
I will
I don't know.
You'll figure it out.
Yeah.
I'll watch House of Guinness.
How about that?
Jesus, don't do that.
What else I'm going to do?
What?
Go out there and meet people.
No.
Pull the other one, mate.
Yeah, fair enough.
All right.
