                                         They had this big Empire and they would show up at these cities like Samarkand or whatever and they would just say

                                         What's fucked up?
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's good.
                                         
                                         Well, I mean, the last show of the run
                                         
                                         is always the weirdest one.
                                         
                                         That's my tradition.
                                         
    
                                         No, it's always the case. I always tell people, the last one of the run is always the weirdest one. That's my tradition. It's always the case.
                                         
                                         I always tell people, the last one is always anti-climax.
                                         
                                         Don't expect the last show to be some celebration.
                                         
                                         It'll be disappointing.
                                         
                                         Last show of the tour, last show.
                                         
                                         It's always a disappointment.
                                         
                                         Always an anti-climax.
                                         
                                         I was chatting about this with someone.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe it was Keely when we were hanging out.
                                         
                                         I was talking about that and how that's why in music biopics they have to always edit
                                         
                                         it so the last gig you see them do is the biggest one of their career, but it doesn't
                                         
                                         have the last one.
                                         
                                         So if you watch the Queen biopic, it's like, and they did Live Aid, and then nothing.
                                         
                                         Then I guess he died immediately.
                                         
                                         Just he came off stage to Live Aid and he was dead.
                                         
                                         And you go, no, there was more gigs, like they did a gig in fucking Belgium or something lame
                                         
    
                                         You know it's like what they say in politics every career ends in failure
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, that's that includes entertainment to degree
                                         
                                         There has to be a decline that's why I quite like that movie Stan and Laurel, you know with them. Oh, yeah
                                         
                                         Steve Coogan shows them just kind of like doing a tour around the UK, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah, but like it's a couple of old fucks, you know, yeah, and everyone's like we thought you were dead
                                         
                                         It's like a running joke and they're like, no
                                         
                                         We just need money
                                         
                                         So I quite like that there's a bittersweet quality to it. But yes, it's
                                         
    
                                         good. Yeah, last night, final show on the final Sunday, it was still a good crowd.
                                         
                                         But at one point I said to them, you know, sometimes you say a joke and then
                                         
                                         you just sit and look at the crowd like this, like, come on. I think they were
                                         
                                         just tired. They weren't bad people, like they weren't like grumpy or hating it
                                         
                                         really. But I said a joke
                                         
                                         that's a bit like a bit niche and I just waited and they did that thing that a
                                         
                                         crowd that's too hot or tired does where they go
                                         
                                         it was actually a joke okay now that you made us think about it okay and then I
                                         
    
                                         said I joked I said come on guys it's like there's a carbon monoxide
                                         
                                         leak here, like in between bouts of passing out, you're like, yes, just swimming in fumes,
                                         
                                         you know, and then they laughed a lot at that.
                                         
                                         So it's like, you know, when they laugh at that, they're kind of agreeing, they're going,
                                         
                                         yeah, we're tired.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, they just knocked out of their plays for a bit, aren't they?
                                         
                                         Yeah, give them they just knocked out of their plays for a bit, aren't they? To be made software.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, give them a little shake.
                                         
                                         So you have one last one today?

                                         Three.
                                         
                                         Oh, you're done.
                                         
                                         You're done.
                                         
                                         The Hundred Years War is over.
                                         
                                         We will keep Calais.
                                         
    
                                         Peace in our time.
                                         
                                         We will cede Maine.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Peace in our time.
                                         
                                         Oh, man.
                                         
                                         I am in Bath Bath is Nice.
                                         
                                         I'm here with my folks, my parents.
                                         
                                         After yesterday, I've been traveling a lot, Pierre.
                                         
    
                                         Yesterday I was back in London briefly
                                         
                                         to be on Sunday brunch.
                                         
                                         You were on the SB.
                                         
                                         I was on the SB on Sunday brunch
                                         
                                         to promote
                                         
                                         my upcoming Netflix special, Wang and the Baby,
                                         
                                         that you can go on Netflix now.
                                         
                                         You can go on Netflix now, you can click
                                         
    
                                         remind me on Wang and the Baby, please.
                                         
                                         It helps with the metrics.
                                         
                                         Listeners, there's one thing you need to know
                                         
                                         about comedy and entertainment business these days
                                         
                                         It is run by a robot
                                         
                                         Yeah, robot likes it when you say remind me about Phil for some reason that will make the robot make the thing more of a success
                                         
                                         Because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy that's set up using some some bits of wire And that's what robots are if you go on Netflix and tell the robot to remind you about me, Phil,
                                         
                                         next time I see the robot, the robot might clinkety clank and drop out some extra nuts and bolts on me.
                                         
    
                                         Next time Phil sees the robot, the robot was gonna very slowly

                                         Are you sure are you sure that's not a scam?
                                         
                                         What if they're lying to you?
                                         
                                         What if it's a cruel dream they're selling you?
                                         
                                         So I was on Sunday brunch with my boys, Simon and Tim.
                                         
                                         Good morning, Simon. Good morning, Tim.
                                         
                                         And they spoke to me about,
                                         
    
                                         they played a clip from ButtBod.
                                         
                                         Yes, yes.
                                         
                                         They played the watching sofas clip.
                                         
                                         Because- It's good stuff.
                                         
                                         And then I cut to them sat on a sofa
                                         
                                         looking into the camera.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's fun.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it was fun.
                                         
    
                                         That's funny.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it was good.
                                         
                                         It's good.
                                         
                                         I play Sunday brunch.
                                         
                                         I worried I over egged it.
                                         
                                         Cause when it came back, cause I sat next to them.
                                         
                                         And when it cut back to them on the sofa,
                                         
                                         I was like wagging my finger going, you see, surfers watching surfers.
                                         
    
                                         But they already got the joke.
                                         
                                         They were doing it.
                                         
                                         And I was like, and then later on I was like, ah, fuck, I over egged it.
                                         
                                         Sorry.
                                         
                                         But look, all the hungover people hoovering eggs into their mouth will appreciate the
                                         
                                         extra help.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you're right.
                                         
                                         You're right.
                                         
    
                                         You're right.
                                         
                                         Also, also like Sunday brunches, I feel like these morning shows, a lot of the time people are sort of half watching.
                                         
                                         They're kind of applauding about.
                                         
                                         They're chasing a toddler
                                         
                                         who's running away with a piece of toast.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so you need a little attention grabbers.
                                         
                                         It's chaos.
                                         
                                         But Pierre, also on the show

                                         He has moved to Lisbon.

                                         And at night you strum your guitar in the square
                                         
                                         and sing beautiful ballads. And what a life.

                                         to the Paralympics to present. it was a kind of lineup of a show

                                         Like I was on with Ed Jackson, a former rugby player
                                         
                                         who dove into a shallow pool
                                         
                                         and just broke his fucking back.
                                         
                                         It happens all the time, man.
                                         
                                         People dive into shallow things and break their necks.
                                         
                                         But fortunately, they told him like, he won't be able to move anything under like his shoulders. man people dive into shallow things break their necks but fortunately he
                                         
    
                                         they told him like you won't be able to move anything under like his shoulders
                                         
                                         but then eventually he slowly got he started to move his fingers and his feet
                                         
                                         and now he can he can he's much better than I thought they'd be but he is now
                                         
                                         like there's a charities about to do with so spinal injuries and and and
                                         
                                         recovering from these injuries.
                                         
                                         And he just climbed, he's climbing mountains now.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Yeah, and then next to him was Millie Pickles, the wonderfully named Millie Pickles who...
                                         
    
                                         Millie Pickles?
                                         
                                         Millie Pickles.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         She has quite a large social media following
                                         
                                         because she was walking, like a few years ago,
                                         
                                         she was walking down a street.
                                         
                                         She doesn't know entirely sure what happened.
                                         
                                         She was walking down the street.
                                         
    
                                         And then an electric current somehow went up her leg.
                                         
                                         A really large electric current went up her leg.
                                         
                                         And instead of going, continuing upwards,
                                         
                                         it like arched down the other leg and like basically like
                                         
                                         destroyed one of her feet.
                                         
                                         It just, boom.
                                         
                                         And so she had to have like her left,
                                         
                                         no, her right leg under the knee,
                                         
    
                                         replaced with a prosthetic.
                                         
                                         And like to this day, she's not sure what happened.
                                         
                                         Or what she stood on.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I know, I know, dude.
                                         
                                         These stories are just diving to a swimming pool
                                         
                                         at a barbecue and walking down the street.
                                         
                                         That's what happened.
                                         
    
                                         These are blameless activities, aren't they,
                                         
                                         in the eyes of God?
                                         
                                         I didn't need to know that my foot could explode.
                                         
                                         But then next to the, and now she's like,
                                         
                                         you know, in the Paralympics, and they come to me and they're like Phil

                                         So Phil we're just gonna have you on the couch with
                                         
    
                                         Some sort of real-life superheroes with insane stories that are like superhero origin stories
                                         
                                         and then
                                         
                                         Talk to you about whatever it is. You have a podcast and you do some jokes
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, you got a joke about couch. We have a couch. So I guess we'll just leave with that
                                         
                                         We'll mainly talk about couches
                                         
                                         Have any of your limbs ever exploded due to the wrath of Zeus?
                                         
                                         Fucking hell.
                                         
                                         She just thought doesn't know what happened.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, she's not entirely sure. Yeah.
                                         
                                         What? Yeah. Yeah.
                                         
                                         But that feels like there should be the FBI should investigate where that
                                         
                                         happened. Yeah, that street should be shut. Shut the street.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's very mysterious. Oh my god, man. That pool thing though, I saw a guy, like, you know what I think it is?
                                         
                                         People jump into shallow pools because I think, you know, the signs in the pools are like, swimming pools are like, you know, no diving, it's shallow.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I think people think those signs are for like, you know, no diving, it's shallow. Yeah. I think people think those signs are for like rudeness.
                                         
    
                                         Mm.
                                         
                                         Like, oh, it would be like splashy and a bit like...
                                         
                                         Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         I just think, I think people don't take it seriously.
                                         
                                         And I think like, I don't know.
                                         
                                         I think we also have an idea of water

                                         But you do need, like, I mean, depending on how fast you go
                                         
                                         and you need a few meters, at least one meter,
                                         
                                         and pools can be pretty shallow.
                                         
                                         And this is a musical I went to see
                                         
                                         called The Little Big Things, and it's about,
                                         
                                         what you call, is a quadriplegic and artists Henry Fraser who went on holiday as a teenager with his brothers
                                         
    
                                         to Portugal Portugal and dove into the sea onto the sand that was shallower
                                         
                                         than he thought,
                                         
                                         broke his neck and then couldn't move anything
                                         
                                         below from the neck down.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Became an artist using his mouth and stuff.
                                         
                                         It's still, you know, extremely inspirational.
                                         
                                         But he dove into the sea.
                                         
    
                                         That's what he ate. Just the ocean.
                                         
                                         The ocean. The sand.
                                         
                                         Water and sand.
                                         
                                         Two things you do not think of as like dangerously hard.
                                         
                                         The world is very unfair.
                                         
                                         These stories are like,
                                         
                                         oh God, what's the thing I hate about them?
                                         
                                         And the thing that is so tragic about them is that there's not really anything to be learned.
                                         
    
                                         No, there isn't.
                                         
                                         There is nothing to be learned.
                                         
                                         It's not like, oh, well, of course, you know,
                                         
                                         I lost my hand or whatever, but then I was like, you know, a crazy jungle adventurer and I got bitten by a poisonous
                                         
                                         thing and it had to get chopped off because we had to helicopter too far away from to
                                         
                                         the hospital.
                                         
                                         Like, it's not like that where it's like, oh, okay, well, you were on a crazy adventure.
                                         
                                         You were in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah. It's just like, I'll dive into the ocean. on a crazy adventure you and remote highlands of Papua New Guinea yeah it's

                                         guess what you do learn is what you are then capable of following the incident
                                         
                                         you don't you don't you know there's no yeah clear great you know lesson from
                                         
                                         the incident itself but well that's the reassuring part. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, and I was talking to Ed and
                                         
                                         He was saying, you know the people you expected to
                                         
                                         To process these are kind of incidents
                                         
                                         Well, sometimes really they really don't and the people you expect to fall apart instantly end up being the strongest about it
                                         
    
                                         So, you know, yeah, you can't go know, you can take people in surprising directions.
                                         
                                         But before that, I was in Manchester,
                                         
                                         Pierre filming a movie, a movie.
                                         
                                         A movie.
                                         
                                         A movie.
                                         
                                         And I.
                                         
                                         For cinema.
                                         
                                         Cinema.
                                         
    
                                         I got to hang out in Manchester
                                         
                                         and I put this on my Instagram and I think you really
                                         
                                         found it really funny because I went to Malaysian restaurant.
                                         
                                         Oh man.
                                         
                                         This is great.
                                         
                                         This is like a real life sketch.
                                         
                                         There was like three sweet old Mancunian men sat together having Malaysian food and one
                                         
                                         of them was genuinely dressed like the old man from up.
                                         
    
                                         He literally looked like the old man from Up. He had suspenders in that.
                                         
                                         He says, big suspenders, blue t-shirt?
                                         
                                         And they were talking about music,
                                         
                                         and the Up guy goes, in a thick Manchester accent,
                                         
                                         he goes, you know what's a good song?
                                         
                                         That rapper's delight.
                                         
                                         That rapper's delight.
                                         
                                         You know what's a good song.
                                         
    
                                         You know what's a good song.
                                         
                                         I like the delivery as well.
                                         
                                         Rapper's delight makes it sound like pudding.
                                         
                                         Rapper's delight. Yes, exactly. Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's like angel delight.
                                         
                                         That's so funny.
                                         
                                         I did that. I did do Manchester accent all week. I was playing

                                         Can you say what the film is? Was it secret for now?
                                         
                                         It is a secret for now? Um, it is a secret for now.
                                         
                                         I don't think I'm lost.

                                         Did you do any Manchester things? Did you go on any... Did you go... Everyone who goes to Manchester seems to take that picture outside of
                                         
                                         Salford Lads Club or whatever it is, that Morrissey album cover, you know?
                                         
                                         Oh, no, I didn't really... No, I just went to a couple of Chinese restaurants, really.
                                         
                                         Manchester Art Gallery is a lovely art gallery.
                                         
                                         How's Manchester doing when it comes to Slurpee awards?
                                         
    
                                         Decent.
                                         
                                         I mean, Chinatown is OK.
                                         
                                         It looks like New York's Chinatown.
                                         
                                         I mean, Manchester's a beautiful city.
                                         
                                         It looks quite American.
                                         
                                         It's a bit gritty, and the red brick is so nice.
                                         
                                         For Slurps, Manchester's decent, you know, big Chinese
                                         
                                         community. There was an accent I really would have liked to do for this film, which is the
                                         
    
                                         Chinese Manchester accent.
                                         
                                         Yes, because it's a very old Chinatown, isn't it?
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah. And like Chinese people who grew up in Manchester, they have this
                                         
                                         Pacific Manchester Chinese accent. And I've heard it from Benedict Wong, who is from Salford,
                                         
                                         I think, most famously known as Wong in the Marvel universe. Dr. Strange. I also know from the Chinese Mancunian guy
                                         
                                         who sells me furniture in London.
                                         
                                         He has the same exact same accent.
                                         
                                         And the Chinese gal who took my order in the Chinese restaurant
                                         
    
                                         I ate in Manchester.
                                         
                                         Can you give us a burst?
                                         
                                         I wish I could, because it's quite hard.
                                         
                                         It's so it's so it's of like, it's the Manchester accent, but it's a little slower.
                                         
                                         It's kind of like dreamy.
                                         
                                         It's like, yeah.
                                         
                                         Dreamy.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         It's like that, yeah.
                                         
                                         But then there's a Chinese tw trying to a two which i don't
                                         
                                         know how to layer on top does benedict wong have that accent in 15 stories high or 13 stories high
                                         
                                         or whatever the thing he did with sean lock probably does you know he might be the chinese
                                         
                                         out of it but yeah that's pretty close to his or Or he's a very nice. OK. Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         I signed a book for a guy after a show,
                                         
                                         and I couldn't figure out where he was from.
                                         
                                         His accent was like, and he was South African,
                                         
    
                                         but had grown a kind of 80% very thick, sort of Central
                                         
                                         Belt of Scotland accent.
                                         
                                         Oh, wow.
                                         
                                         So it was, you know, this,
                                         
                                         I don't know how to do that layering.
                                         
                                         I couldn't have guessed in a hundred years
                                         
                                         that it was a combination of Scottish or South African.
                                         
                                         I couldn't hear either ingredient clearly.
                                         
    
                                         It was so strange.
                                         
                                         It was very nice to listen to
                                         
                                         because it was like a little aural puzzle.
                                         
                                         And always nice to meet, say for example, a Polish guy who's only learned English from Scousers.
                                         
                                         Always fun. That's an incredible accent.
                                         
                                         The Japanese comedian Takashi Wakasugi was in Edinburgh this year and I went to see his show.
                                         
                                         He's a lovely guy, great comedian, but he's lived in Australia for years now and he sounds extremely Japanese and he'll go,
                                         
                                         all right, like that. It's fantastic. I love it because it's all like,
                                         
    
                                         you know, Japan, I love sashimi. All right.
                                         
                                         This is very entertaining.
                                         
                                         Just someone doing like a full tea ceremony and then going, oh,
                                         
                                         Bonza.
                                         
                                         Bonza.

                                         Bonza.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Bonza.
                                         
                                         Bonza.

                                         His publicity should be like, you know, those cool kind of sort of swooping samurai helmets.
                                         
                                         That, but with corks on strings.

                                         So, um, dear the artists formerly known as Poo.
                                         
                                         That's good.
                                         
                                         Very good.
                                         
    
                                         Because decolonization is happening.
                                         
                                         Oh it's happening.
                                         
                                         Boy, boy, boy.
                                         
                                         So this next bit of correspondence, this is in reference to Matt the Splat's lovely message
                                         
                                         from 279 about his stem cell transplant and the fact that his match was a mysterious German
                                         
                                         man.
                                         
                                         Ah, yes.
                                         
                                         And the theory was that maybe he has a secret German cousin.
                                         
    
                                         I work at Anthony Nolan, Anthony Nolan, a charity that matches stem cell donors to patients.
                                         
                                         So when stem cell transplants came up in this week's correspondence, I thought I could finally
                                         
                                         contribute.
                                         
                                         I thought I could give it a little go.
                                         
                                         What am I doing?
                                         
                                         Tell you about stem cells.
                                         
                                         Stem cells, is it? Oh don't worry mate, these fell off the back of a fucking lorry.
                                         
                                         The old Graham Bells.
                                         
    
                                         He had to get a transplant of the old... He had to get some new Grahams. They had to give him some donor Grahams.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         I thought I could finally contribute to the decolonization of the pod.
                                         
                                         Eligibility for a stem cell transplant is based on how well certain genes in the major histoc the newly transplanted. He matter. Oh my god.

                                         So Hema I'm okay with which is H-A-E-M-A

                                         Stem cells are the stem cells that can develop into all different types of blood cells.
                                         
                                         They're the different Pokemon. Very poetic. I write poetry. A biggie pardon, you know, poems.
                                         
                                         This means that we test a set of genes within this region when new stem cell register applicants
                                         
                                         send us a spit swab, rather than testing the entire genome.
                                         
                                         It's still not a cakewalk as this part of the human genome is the most polymorphic,
                                         
    
                                         e.g. there are the most possible variations in this area of DNA compared with any other
                                         
                                         part. Polymorphic, e.g. there are the most possible variations in this area of DNA compared with any other part
                                         
                                         so unfortunately It's unlikely that correspondent Matt has a doppelganger roaming around Germany and frankly
                                         
                                         No wonder his nurse thought he was having a fucking stroke
                                         
                                         But interesting nonetheless that they share the same HLA genes quite literally now
                                         
                                         So even if they didn't have the genes before, it's a full
                                         
                                         transplant match, so how cool is that? They've got each other's genes, baby. Keep up the
                                         
                                         good work, boys, and as always, Koji. PS, if any listeners are between the ages of 16
                                         
    
                                         and 30, then do consider joining the Anthony Nolan Stem Cell Register. You could save someone
                                         
                                         like Matt's life.

                                         You guys go for it, but you should go for it. We are too old. We're a couple of old fucks. No German DNA for us, I'm afraid, Philip.
                                         
                                         God damn it.
                                         
    
                                         I have to say, being sort of vaguely hung over and having to try and pronounce Hematopoeia,
                                         
                                         that was quite an experience.
                                         
                                         It was like a cold shower.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's like, it's like one of the tests

                                         that could morph into any blood cell?
                                         
    
                                         It begins with an H.

                                         Hey PNP, been listening since the beginning.
                                         
                                         Although I had to take a short break earlier this year when I had part of my bowel removed as all the poo talk was a bit triggering.
                                         
                                         Gosh, this is quite a common experience among the PodBuds.
                                         
                                         It is. We're attracting the the bowel surgical
                                         
                                         Types we've got we've got them in or we're just hearing more from them
                                         
    
                                         I'm now fully recovered and have resubscribed happily. This has coincided with the decolonization era. Oh, well done Dean
                                         
                                         Yeah, when when I?
                                         
                                         Saw this tat in Ibiza
                                         
                                         Recently wait all of it if Dean had his low intestine removed, then he was decolonized.
                                         
                                         He was decolonized and so are we.
                                         
                                         He was decolonized himself.
                                         
                                         No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
                                         
                                         Coincidence.
                                         
    
                                         So Dean was in Ibiza.
                                         
                                         And as he says, holiday destinations seem to be big on tat.
                                         
                                         I'm sure you've seen this before, but I wondered if Phil could whisper it in the original language.
                                         
                                         Oh god.
                                         
                                         Not a chance.
                                         
                                         But I'll try!
                                         
                                         I don't know, I think maybe it's a s s s possible
                                         
                                         So I
                                         
    
                                         Think because it's in a different language, I'll just say the whole thing right like right
                                         
                                         Because otherwise it's just mad because what you're supposed to guess the Spanish word
                                         
                                         So I'm gonna try and guess the translation
                                         
                                         Yes, I suppose. Yeah, I think that's fair. Yeah
                                         
                                         No, I'm necessarily Google me my needle or sabbitt todo. Oh
                                         
                                         I don't need Google. My wife knows everything
                                         
                                         is correct
                                         
                                         Correct. Oh, what's what's correct? Felipe? It was incorrect
                                         
    
                                         Correct. No bueno. You said your wife. What? It's your husband. Oh,
                                         
                                         Oh, it's your husband.
                                         
                                         Alarm is going. Felipe says an alarm in his house that goes off
                                         
                                         whenever he speaks Spanish.
                                         
                                         My house where I just set the fire low off is fine.
                                         
                                         Pierre and I installed an alarm in Felipe's house.
                                         
                                         It goes off whenever he tries to correct us.
                                         
                                         It's about maintaining discipline.
                                         
    
                                         It's called the know your place alarm.
                                         
                                         It goes off whenever Felipe thinks that he thinks that he said more than we do. But
                                         
                                         you know, the same more than we do. Felipe. I apologize.
                                         
                                         Nosotros espanol es muy bueno. Yes. No. Okay, so it was it
                                         
                                         was husband Marie Doe. That's true. But you did get the
                                         
                                         sentiment right? Yeah, generally correct.
                                         
                                         But yeah, just that.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Marido.
                                         
                                         Okay, nice one.
                                         
                                         The sentiment was right, though.
                                         
                                         I don't need Google.
                                         
                                         My husband knows everything.
                                         
                                         Interesting that in Espanol, it's the noatol husband.
                                         
                                         Is this the machismo culture of Spain?
                                         
                                         The arrogant caballero.
                                         
    
                                         Perhaps, perhaps.
                                         
                                         Perhaps it's a more maternal society. Not maternal, what do I mean?
                                         
                                         Paternal.
                                         
                                         No, I guess maternal.
                                         
                                         Patriarchal what?
                                         
                                         Patriarchal. If the culture sort of makes fun of husbands, then would it not be more
                                         
                                         likely a more matriarchal society?
                                         
                                         Unless that's just a reaction to the lack of power.
                                         
    
                                         You go something like comedy,
                                         
                                         which is the last resort of the powerless,
                                         
                                         as opposed to like actually powerful.
                                         
                                         You go, yeah, well, you might be in charge
                                         
                                         of the whole country,
                                         
                                         but I've made quite the meme about you actually.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, right.
                                         
                                         There's plenty of that.
                                         
    
                                         I wonder, yeah, mi marido.
                                         
                                         Love the book, Pierre, congratulations. Thank you Dean much as gracias and we came to see you at Comedia last November

                                         And regarding the sexy cartoons, we've heard from Victoria.
                                         
                                         Victoria... She'll never bore ya.
                                         
                                         Nice.
                                         
    
                                         What sexy cartoons?
                                         
                                         Oh, cartoon animals we wanna have sex with. Of course.
                                         
                                         Sure, sure, sure. Of course.
                                         
                                         Hello, P.M. Phil. I'm sorry for emailing twice, but I was discussing sexy cartoon characters with my mates.
                                         
                                         That's good.
                                         
                                         Good, good good. This is the kind of conversation we want to be sparking.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that should be like the same as the adverts for talk about your mental health.
                                         
                                         Guys, talk to your friends.
                                         
    
                                         Talk to your friends.
                                         
                                         About which animated animals they'd want to have sex with.
                                         
                                         You never know what people are going through.
                                         
                                         Make sure to ask your friends, your mates, if any of them have been aroused by a drawing
                                         
                                         lately.
                                         
                                         And it's like a montage of people putting their arms around each other and like laughing
                                         
                                         and like in a pub or like nudging each other at a football game or whatever but just on their phones the whole time is just
                                         
                                         Lola Bunny. So I was discussing sexy cartoon characters with my mates and we felt that an
                                         
    
                                         honorable mention should go to the unnamed but immensely cockettish fish.
                                         
                                         immensely cockettish fish. The unnamed but immensely cockettish fish from Disney's Fantasia.
                                         
                                         I didn't remember this was in here at all.
                                         
                                         This was one of my favorite Disney films when I was a kid, but even then I remember wondering
                                         
                                         why this fish had such unnecessary bedroom eyes.
                                         
                                         Oh yeah, I'm looking at her now.
                                         
                                         I have attached a gif for your delectation, but the whole scene from Fantasia is really worth a watch.
                                         
                                         Is that the one you're seeing?
                                         
    
                                         Yes it is, yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, sexy swirling around.
                                         
                                         Yeah, no, she's gorgeous.
                                         
                                         Who is she? She's beautiful.
                                         
                                         Find her! What's her at?
                                         
                                         What's the at of this fish?
                                         
                                         Um, yes, another fish was suggested to me after we posted that from the ladies,
                                         
                                         but which I think, I mean, just my girlfriend. And it's the fish in Finding Nemo with the scar,
                                         
    
                                         who is in the fish tank in the dentist's office.
                                         
                                         What's his name?
                                         
                                         OK.
                                         
                                         Finding Nemo fish tank fish.
                                         
                                         Gil.
                                         
                                         His name's Gil.
                                         
                                         Hang on.
                                         
                                         Finding Nem's Gil. Hang on, finding Nemo, Gil.
                                         
    
                                         And there are like memes on TikToks of like, girls pretending they're getting married.
                                         
                                         And then before just before they say I do, it cuts to just a still image of Gil from
                                         
                                         finding Nemo and they're like, I can't do it.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah. What? Really? Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         He's got a scarred face and he's got like sort of confident, narrowed eyes.
                                         
                                         That's it. That's it. Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's funny.
                                         
                                         Man, the human brain is such a fucking weird little hallucination machine. It's so odd.
                                         
                                         It is. Yeah, it's sick. We're all sick.
                                         
                                         I'm going to make a little movie about how I'm in love with a fish.
                                         
                                         A fish that genuinely, if you could have put a fucking gun to my family's head, I would not have remembered that he was in that film.
                                         
                                         My god, and I didn't know there's a sexy fish in Fantasia. Thank you, Victoria.
                                         
    
                                         I am sort of baffled that that hasn't come up before.
                                         
                                         Good memory.
                                         
                                         It clearly had a big impression on you.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Well look, speaking of big impressions,
                                         
                                         we're about to do an impression of a podcast
                                         
                                         that's over for this week.
                                         
                                         It's a really good impression.
                                         
    
                                         It's really good.
                                         
                                         We've been working on this for a while.
