Starting point is 00:00:00 Greetings, listener dear, I'm Tom. I'm Ben. And I am Matthew and welcome to an episode. You're very excited about it. Of course you are. You're all chomping at the bit. I don't know what I did there. Are you all right?
Starting point is 00:00:15 What's wrong? I'm Ben. I liked it. I thought it was good. I really, I thought, you know, the thing is it was increasing levels of energy. Well, actually it wasn't. It was like a sort of a hillock in that Tom started, you know, like he warmed us up.
Starting point is 00:00:30 A low rumble. A low rumble from Tom. Then a nice high peak from Ben. And it's all downhill from here. I'm Matthew. Welcome to Flatshare Slamdown. Thank you so much for tuning in. This is a corker of an episode.
Starting point is 00:00:43 And it's hot off the press. We only recorded this last week. Wow. It's one of our flagship episodes, which means we're at the start of yet another month. And this one, so this is where we do a live. Are you telling people that it's, is this our way of announcing that's October? I feel like that's one of our main jobs, I think, is to mark the seasons.
Starting point is 00:01:09 With a pinch, punch of podcasts. Back in the day, we'd just have a bell and we'd walk around and go, autumn now. And then... Yeah, that was lovely. People would be happy with that. Obviously, we've evolved. now we can be much more.
Starting point is 00:01:30 We used to have a bell, now we have a ball, and you'll have a ball listening to this fantastic episode with two wonderful guests. We've got Andrew Maxwell, our dear old mucker from back in the day, Andrew Maxwell, absolutely wonderful, and Erica Eeler as well. I would say two very different energies. Enjoy the yin and the yang, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Absolutely. Enjoy the yin and the yank. Two ends of the spectrum, and that's what's wonderful about comedy, There you is. We're all on the, we're all on the spectrum. We're all on the old TEDx at the moment. And, yeah, really, but it, this is, this was a lot of fun recorded at our beloved Phoenix in London. We can tell you now that the next flat chestland, if you'd like to come along, is at the cheerful, earful comedy festival on the 14th of October. That is just two weeks time. It's so soon. You would think we would have two guests, but, you know, we've got a few, few text messages out.
Starting point is 00:02:28 out there that have definitely been seen. Those, like, I know, I recognize the telltale two blue ticks, but, uh, but we'll, we'll get, we'll get some guests for that. Don't you worry about that? And if not, it is our Halloween special, so we'll just say it's two ghosts. A ghost of James Acasters here. Well, I could ask Acaster to come back. I could do you.
Starting point is 00:02:49 But, yeah, so that's going to be happening on the, on the 13th of October at the cheerful, earful comedy festival at the Bedford Pub in Ballam.

Yes. Because as everybody knows,
Starting point is 00:04:28 it means one thing. It's autumn. Tom, Ben. What is it, Matthew? Yeah, what is it, my little cherub? Well, let me tell you now, our electricity bills are sky high. One of you two needs to install
Starting point is 00:04:47 a solar panel. Either one really big one or 7,000 solar powered calculators. Either way. Well, the funny thing is, actually, Matthew, I used to hate those solar power calculators. Was it because you couldn't say? It's a bit early in the show for this to be your... They were terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:06 They always just used to get my maths wrong. It's not bad, actually. Larky, who's the little cherub now? What about you, Tom? It's not going to be, Matthew. I prefer wind power. I love wind power. But not as much as my neighbour who loves it so much,
Starting point is 00:05:24 She generates her own. She's a massive fan. Who's that for? Who's that for? Oh, everybody here. And the people listening at home. She's a massive fan. It's not bad, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Now you think about it, Tom. You've convinced yourself. Yeah, actually. You've walked yourself around to your own humour. Yeah. He's a massive fan. He's a massive fan. It's a massive fan joke.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Well, there's only one way to settle this. We're going to have to have a Flashers Sandown. Hello and we're not the world. Flat share it with our main. Flat share slam down. Flat share slam down. Hello and welcome to Flat Share Slam Down, the panel show that says,
Starting point is 00:06:05 Now I'm not the world's most passionate guy, but when she squeezed me tide, she almost broke my spine. Her name was Sola. S-O-L-A-R. I'm the host of Landlords, Matthew Crosby. Let's meet two guys with boundless energy
Starting point is 00:06:21 who light up my life every single week. It's Tom Perry and Benedict Claus. Hi, hoi. Now, you cannot install the solar solo. Who have you brought with you this week to tell us which bit is the roof, Tom? Well, Matthew, the jamboree is in danger. No.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But don't worry. I've brought my most renewable friend. It's Erica Riella, everybody. What's up? What's up, Erica? What's up? What's it? We're renewing the catchphrase.
Starting point is 00:06:51 What's it? That's how I answered the phone to my dad. Really? Yeah. He's never said, well, he's never said, well, he's back.
Starting point is 00:07:00 It's going to happen. One day, dad's. And then we'll move on to I love you. You've got to take baby steps, Erica. So anyway, it turns out that's what's up. But, Erica,
Starting point is 00:07:14 what kind of a person are you to live with? So I think I'm a good roommate. Because I will advocate for others. A big beef in the house here I live in is one of our roommates doesn't want to turn on the heat during the winter, which I think is crazy. I think it's nuts. It's also bad for the house. But like the other one is a little bit of a pushover, so I have to be the one who talks for both of us. And I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I don't mind being the bad guy. You're a bad cop, bad cop. You're bad cop to silent cop. Yeah. And why does this person have so much sway over the house? Like surely if someone says we're not turning the heating on and it's winter and it's cold, it doesn't really matter. You just turn it on.
Starting point is 00:07:58 So we do do that. We do turn it on. But the thermostat is right outside his room. So if he sees that it's on, he flicks it off. He also was in the house first. So there's this false sense of ownership around it. Even though we play some random dudes mortgage, none of us own this, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 And is he, like, does he make any concessions to the fact it's absolutely free? Like, is he going around in like 15 dressing gowns, you know, or is he, is he just like an insulated dude? Yeah, is he like one of those people who's, you know, like someone from the north, someone from the northeast. Well, I think, I think it's, I think women are typically colder and we, we, both me and her are on the second floor. And I think our windows are worse. And he lives on the first floor where it's a bit warmer. And he's a dude. So I think he's, I think he just is a warm guy.
Starting point is 00:08:47 By the way, this is a science podcast now. Yeah. Port to you by three warm guys. Very warm guys and a cold lady. It's great to have you on the show. Wait, so he's tall. He's not tall. He's up above everybody.
Starting point is 00:09:02 He's rising. That's your... So it should rise. Yeah, it should rise. But our windows are older, whereas he has newer windows. So the heat, the cold doesn't go in from outside. So he's like, why do these bitches have the heat on? When we're freezing upstairs.
Starting point is 00:09:18 If he's using the B words, then... Well, he's not. I paraphrase. But you know what? That's my kind of advocacy. Okay. Finally, we're talking my language. Well, Erica Ela is here.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Big round of Ports for Erica. Yes. Clark are your goddamn bitch. Who you brought? I bought my dodgiest uncle. It's a June Axler! Oh, yes. Andrew Maxwell, great to have you on the show.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Well, it's a delight to be here. It's a total delight to have you. How warm are you at the moment? Physically? Yeah. Yeah, good. I'd say we're sitting in around 22 in here. Yeah, and how warm are you emotionally?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Emotionally, I am a human furnace. Yeah, you are, actually. That's true. Oh, sorry, I just dig my digger there. I'm absolutely raring to share my love at all times. I don't think that's the same thing Andrew And what kind of person are you to live with Who are you living with?
Starting point is 00:10:24 I live with a wife and four children Four! Is it your wife? Yes. Yes, for now, for now. But these things are all, you know what I mean? So, all up in the air and, you know, it's the 90s now, anything could happen. But as far as am I good to live with,
Starting point is 00:10:43 that's irrelevant. And that's what you tell them every single day. Because they're complaining about the temperature. You're like, listen, this is all irrelevant stuff. I'm here. Well, more importantly, most of my, you know, housemates are my children. Sure. So if they've got any problem with it, like, I can just neglect them.
Starting point is 00:11:05 There's always abuse. No, no, neglect, not abuse. Slow, slow burning. This there could be any visible. you know, there's nothing that can be written up on a form. Talk us through it. What's your favourite form of like mild neglects you're doing on your kids?
Starting point is 00:11:23 I don't know. Come on, what are you doing? What are you doing? No, I don't know. You don't want to give you any secrets away. No, no. I forced my children to watch rugby with me. That's not all day there. That is abuse, actually. That's technically a bit of years. It's more importantly, during the lockdown years where I made even more Maxwell's.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I wanted to watch live Australian Rugby League in the mornings when my small children wanted to watch television but instead of getting to watch kids shows they had to uh watch the rabbitos absolutely fucking spank absolutely spank are we still we still talk about rugby whatever it takes to get through lockdown i guess and how is that like how has that manifested now instead of watching mr tumble they're watching the rabbitos are they hugely aggressive no they just they understand the tactics of of rugby league they're just very young pundits now yeah they're just very young pundits now yeah there's
Starting point is 00:12:15 There's very small girls who unnecessarily know who the ball should be spread out to. Just get the ball out of, you know. I mean, it's not like... It sounds like they do more than you do. Just get the ball out of, you know, out of my house. Throw it around. Spread the ball around.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Spread it around. Well, thank you for spreading your ball around. Flash, yes, Pandora tonight. Andrew Maxwell's here. So we have met our panel, but who is going to be installing the solo one? Let's find out as we play round one. When it's the summer powering your stuff with renewable? It's July, so let's try, is it terrible?
Starting point is 00:13:21 No, it turns on, because it's powered by the sun. Yes, it turns on. Solar power, you're the one. Now it's December, middle of winter, and it's cold and dark. I'm quite scared, feel unprepared, will it even still work? Yes, it turns on, because it's powered by the sun. Of course it turns on. If you don't think renewable energy is the future, then you're a fucking idiot. Beautiful stuff there from Tom and Ben.
Starting point is 00:14:05 This first round is called Do Ray, Me, Fast Solar Panel. It's inspired by the song. That's good stuff, actually. On these, it's quiet by the soul for the sound of music. I'm going to give each panelist the name of a musical. They have to get their teammate to guess the name of that musical using only six syllables. After each syllable, your teammate has a chance to guess. The syllables can be a noise, a word, a note, a moan.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Don't make it a moan. But it must be a single syllable. If your teammate guesses it in one syllable, it's six points, two syllables, it's five points, etc., etc. Down to one point for the full six syllables. So make that first syllable count. By the way, apologies to anyone who's playing the drink every time Matthew says the word syllable game. Must be absolutely syllables. Okay, we're going to start with you. Tom.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yes. Tom, here is your musical. Now, Erica, you are trying to guess which musical. Will it be cabaret or will it be cab for Tom Paray? Spoiler. Spoiler, it's not cabaret. Okay. So, Tom, you've got your musical there.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Okay. Yeah. you know it you recognize it yeah okay let's hear your first syllable please um okay so he's gone that's not it that's not it there's a great there's a great hesitation here okay uh let that be struck from the record yeah yeah that wasn't he don't yeah i'm going to allow that this time but in future no more erroneous syllables okay that's two syllables this is harder than it looks you know that's like that's about 15 syllables that one.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I'm going to go with see oh wait that came out badly see I'm really sorry that's bad
Starting point is 00:15:54 okay so would you like to hear it again or would you like to make a guess all you need to know is Tom wasn't happy with it so I wouldn't necessarily think too much about it
Starting point is 00:16:05 Erica any guesses at this juncture singing in the rain I thought that might be This isn't on you. I'm very sorry about that. That's all right. I thought I'd, you know. Okay, next one.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Greece. Oh. It's not Greece. Imagine. There's a lot of syllables going on here. So, I've changed tack. Let's hear your two syllables.
Starting point is 00:16:30 You've got C and grease. Grease. Because that is a great advert for Greece, really. The phrase C, grease. I didn't say promote a different musical to the one that's written down there I said in six syllables convey the musical, okay?
Starting point is 00:16:52 Okay. Any clues at this day, Erica? Mama Mia. Yes! Oh! Redemption. Amazing. Do you know what, Tom?
Starting point is 00:17:06 You were really lucky you've got one good player on your team. Explain the first bit What was C? I don't want to Okay So that's not how the game works Tom
Starting point is 00:17:18 Explain the first bit You don't get the point It's supposed to be part of dancing queen You don't think of See the dancing Quits Yeah See that girl
Starting point is 00:17:27 So see I thought you're just gonna work your way through That's not Basically what you realise is How short a syllable is Yeah Because I was like See
Starting point is 00:17:35 Oh that's it I think you meant As in the Aegeans Yeah that's I think The actual the C That's not the Green Islander in. I did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:43 That's, that's it. Yes. Because also the lyrics aren't See the Dancing Queen. We all know that, right? Digging the Dancing Queen. Oh, digging. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:53 But that's, crucially, it's two syllables. She could have done it. Why? You start way too early at the chorus for that. It starts at, Frye. See the dance.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Do you not see the dancing queen? You see that girl, you see that girl. Watch that girl. Watch that scene. Digging the dance. dancing in Greece Greece
Starting point is 00:18:12 Grease Eric and I two syllables Why is the the Abba musical set in Greece and not in Sweden
Starting point is 00:18:27 which fantasy Stockholm has many many islands A few oaks and well that's Norway that's Norway And the Autobahn as well. Anyway, let's move in along, guys. We haven't got time all day to play this game.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Right. Anyway, Maxwell, you're up next. You're up next. There's your musical, Ben. Yes. What is the show? Will it be cabaret? Will it be cab?
Starting point is 00:18:59 No way. Spoiler, it's still not going to be cabaret. Okay. All right. Now, there is your musical. Andrew. Can we hear your first syllable, please? It's cross for C, everybody.
Starting point is 00:19:12 We're all hoping it's C. Okay, that's not the syllable, I think. This guy can really sing. Ooh. Beautiful. It's really good. Hauntling. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I immediately think of the Phantom of the Opera. Imagine. There's someone to go, yeah. I did it. wrong. If that's what you got from that, then I've done it wrong. This will be my second go with the same, yeah? Oh, you're going to do this. Oh, you're getting dangerly close to two syllables there. So is that way, was that your second syllable or was that your first syllable to second time? Yeah. I'm gone. Still, still counts as two goals. This is two goes. Okay, so
Starting point is 00:20:07 second go. Yeah, okay. Very fair. Mulligans. I've played, I'm playing golf rules. I got someone's played by some of the rules. Do you think you're talking to one of your daughters? They're rugby fans, not golf fans. I'd never raise a golf daughter. So you've got, you've got a couple of notes there. Has that brought you any closer to the answer?
Starting point is 00:20:33 We can tell you now, you know, it's not Phantom of the Opera. Ooh, ooh. No. Do you want to hazard a guess? Mamma Mia? It is Mamma Mia, guys. I'm not even if I put mumma here for everyone. You're ready for a third one?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yes, please. Oh. It's good. It's good. Oh. Yes. That was the same one. That's the same one.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah, yeah. Can you do the previous one before that as well? So we get the full. Ooh. Yeah. Wait a second. The first one had changed again. Ah, but this is like a fine wine.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Or an ordinary cheese. Either way, they're all affected by time. I would say you don't need to narrow that down to wine and cheese. It's like most things are affected by time. That's true. Like all things. Yeah, like love. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:35 But mostly wine and cheese. Most of wine and cheese. Most of wine and cheese. I'm now thinking was the crow a musical? Oh Brandon Lee It wasn't a musical
Starting point is 00:21:49 And if it were I don't think I would have picked it as one of As one of the four for a guessing game Feels very fringe It does feel very fringe It does it The crow the musical no Oh
Starting point is 00:22:03 Ah Okay Clarkie I don't think it's right but I'm going to go with the Wizard of Oz It's not the Wizard of Oz Let's have another syllable You're on your fourth syllable

Starting point is 00:22:25 What else happens in it There's just a mode of transport That's all I remember Was it? I don't know That's not too much of a giveaway. Yeah, most musicals have modes of transporting. Famously.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And it's not chitty, chitty bang back. Oh, okay. No, I'm fucked. You could see it in his eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was definitely going chitty. He had Van Dyke eyes. They've gone full Van Dyke.
Starting point is 00:22:54 The B-side to Betty Davis eyes, isn't it? Okay, that's stretching. Okay, that's stretching, stretching syllable to breaking point. A lot of syllables. Stretch a symbol to breaking point, but let's be real here.
Starting point is 00:23:12 She's playing against Clarkie. So he's actually playing with Clarkie. He's not even played against him, but it feels like he's playing against Clarkie. Does everyone know what it is? Give us all three. Give us all three. Oh!
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's really good. It's a locative. Yeah. It's really good. Oh, I don't know. I can tell that. From the way you're looking off into distance and sort of sweating yeah all right so my final syllable uh yeah go on that's
Starting point is 00:23:48 cool the final one you realize there's two syllables i think i think well i tell you i think you've got two syllables left i think you've got four syllables so you've got two syllables left if you want to do two at once i will give it yeah that's it let's hear it bowie labyrinth no not david bowie I'll give you one final guess and we'll throw it over as the other team. Throw it over, man. Do you know what it is? Hell no.

Starting point is 00:31:13 so one of them have to take the minutes of the meeting. I don't think they're actually, you know, it's not like a murder of crows. You're not a committee of urgence. Of course, you'd have to do. If only. If I didn't think it form a sort of committee, then maybe they'd do a bit less pickpocketing, you know?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Or a bit more efficiency. That's true. They have more monogrome chafes. Right. Eyes. Yes. Eyes touching. Is it sweet Caroline?

Starting point is 00:34:44 Is it Tom and Erica? Yeah, yeah, that's it. I was struggling to place you there, Tom, for a second. But no, yes, it is Tom and Erica, of course. And you guys are in the lead, and the scores haven't moved. And there's still neither a solar panel nor 7,000 solar powered calculators on my roof.

Starting point is 00:35:28 read them a week Richard Osmond That's the Thursday murder club right there. This week in flat games, we're playing our version of The Sims, which we're calling the hymns. In the words of Clarkie, God. You have to sing about a famous family to the tune of a classic Christian song. One point for a correct guest, ten points for how deep. we feel the spirit of the Lord
Starting point is 00:36:03 flowing through you. Let us pray today. Let's start with Pope Benedict. Start with you. Thank you. Okay. Now, you are kicking things off with Jerusalem, a song that I'm sure you can all agree is in no way problematic. But Andrew, what famous family
Starting point is 00:36:19 has been singing about? Spoiler alert, it's not the Netin' Yahoo's. Pastor Gwynn... It's too edgy from I like it. It's too much for you, isn't it? It's too much. It's too much. You're sweating over there. Pastor Gwynn, show the congregation how you play with your organ. They have a documentary about their bad lives.
Starting point is 00:36:49 They have a documentary about their bad lives. They are a family, I believe. I've never watched it personally. But they all have surgery. And they fight, and that's all I know. But they also have businesses. All about all makeup and clothes and stuff. Wonderful.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Amen. Amen. And thank you, Gwyn. Rousing. It was rousing. Rousing. It was rousing. That's when Christyanti was fucking Christianity.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Absolutely right. When the Lord God could be found on the playing fields of England. Yes, you're right. Right? They ask the question. Because in many ways, who is Jesus? Yeah. He's the nimble scrum half.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Oh, God. This is how you teach your daughters about Jesus, isn't it? Oh, no. That makes sense, actually. At least you didn't say who's the hooker. That's Mary Magdalene. No, come on. That is a great bit of Bible work.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Right there, guys. It's a great thing. bit of Bible work. You're very, very welcome. But Andrew, before I, before I ordain Pope Benedict, what family was he singing about? Well, interesting. Interesting you should say it because this, that's the game. The great connection to obviously the very first Christian kingdom. Oh. Which was Armenia. Because this family is none other. System of a down. I was just really, the other famous... Oh yeah, sorry, sorry, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:03 The other famous Los Angeles, Armenian family, they're Kardashians. It was, of course, the Kardashians. How many points we're going to give Clarkie for Jerusalem, though? I think I'm going to give you... You said seven? Yeah, all right, fair enough. Sure.
Starting point is 00:39:19 So certain over there. Great. It's fair. Sure. Sounds about right, mate. Thank you very much. Any of us on seven? No, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Seven. Okay. Next up, we've got Erica. Erica, here is your, there you go. Here is your hymn. It's all things bright and beautiful. Now, did you, Erica, did you sing this growing up? No.
Starting point is 00:39:51 No, yeah. We didn't do hymns in public school in Canada. We just did, yeah, we were talking earlier. or you just kind of do Christmas songs. That's the only time we all sing. But then because it's public school, they have to catch a wide net and not, like, you know, exclude anyone.
Starting point is 00:40:06 So we did draddle, dradle. We did Kwanza songs, which no one in our school actually celebrated Kwanza. Great airline, though. But, yeah. So you're kind of going in blind on all these bright and beautiful here, aren't you? I listened to it like three times today,
Starting point is 00:40:26 and then I just felt too creepy, listening to it alone in central London. I was like, well, this can't, this is going to fuck up my algorithm. So I'm familiar with it enough, but let's see if it retained. Four times you get into heaven, so it's worth it.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Oh, one more time? So here we go. All the things bright and beautiful, but Tom, what famous family is Erica singing about? Youth Minister Gwynn, take us to church. I work in waste management. I'm from Jersey, Gabagool.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I also have anxiety, and that means me depth as a character. You know, things are beautiful. What else is this family? I know the answer and I'm really good. There's a key detail about his career. He's a cool guy.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Lovely. Thank you. You're really sold by his cover story there. He works in waste management. That's about it. Okay. Fantastic for that career there. It's literally.
Starting point is 00:41:55 we needed, Tom, what's the answer? The Sopranos. It's the correct answer. And I'll tell you, I'll tell you what. It should have been in a hierarchy. That's another radio 4-1 for you. That's an opera gag. But what are we going to give you, Erica, for
Starting point is 00:42:14 for sort of religiosity? I'm going to give you, I'll tell you what, who shouted out seven? Who was that who shouted out seven? gone awful quite It's the most common number in the Bible Seven That's right Very religious this episode
Starting point is 00:42:30 God seven isn't it? It's a very religious episode now Isn't it? Yeah I think well you know There is money in it We've got to move into the old sort of right wing Christian grift
Starting point is 00:42:39 I think that's That's very much By the way we are selling amulets That ward off evil spirits After the show Holy shit I saw Russell Brown selling these fucking amulets
Starting point is 00:42:50 Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah 800 euros sorry 800 US dollars the amulets are meant to protect you from evil and airport Wi-Fi 8 and I thought when I saw that 800 I thought

Well, I trust you almost as much as I trust the good Lord.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Let's hear what you've got up your pastor's sleeve. It's very nice. It's slow. Oh, Bill, I'm away. Well, they're pretty dark. They live with lots of bats. One's got a light bulb in his god. And that's enough about that.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Amen. One them, give them a big hand, because a hand is all. they are and two of them been married long time, but they've been married long time, but they've still got inspirational sexual chemistry. Hey, hey, hey, hey, bye ma'am you listen to the door. Whoa. Whoa. Holy Shemoli.
Starting point is 00:48:40 That was unbelievable. Wow. That was fantastic, Tom. Beautiful. We all got religion there. But Erica, what is the family that Tom was singing about? Is it the Adams family? It's the Adams family!

Starting point is 00:49:10 Now, speaking of the good lord, my old whist partner, Tupac Shakur, once said, only God can judge me. I'm not sure about that, Pac-Man. You've clearly never been called before the contemptuous call. of the Beef Brothers. Well, if you've got a problem,
Starting point is 00:49:23 don't call it a problem, if you've got a problem, call it a beef. If you've got a beef, maybe we can help you. Beef Brothers sorting out your beef. Yes, indeed, it's Beef Brothers, where each week we ask our panellists
Starting point is 00:49:35 to sort out a flat share-based beef. And today's one comes from James. Hello. We didn't do the scores. Ah, it's all right. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, does it? I think we know which teams in the lead.
Starting point is 00:49:48 yeah we know yeah it's what you'd expect yeah it's what you'd expect guys it's what you'd expect from the three of us uh so yes it's beef brothers where each week we ask our panelists to sort out a flat share based beef and today's one comes from james james are you there in the audience hello james how you doing good well james writes the following in the friend group chat the flat share of communications i like that i like that a lot my friend will not stop going on about how they're horse viewings are going. What? Is that a typo?
Starting point is 00:50:25 No, because he's written it all in caps. Won't stop going. We'll not stop going about how their horse viewings are going. They're going to buy a horse for themselves. I really could not care less. And it's a ridiculous choice for what to spend your money on. Yeah. Okay, so that's what's going on.
Starting point is 00:50:46 That's what's going on in James's, his life. I like the cut of his gym. Yeah. Absolutely. It's like, oh, I don't know. What's on a horse? Well, hang on.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Before we start the cross-examination, let's tell you who side you're on. Okay? So, Ben and Andrew, you are on James's side. Absolutely right. Okay, you're on James' side. Erica and Tom, you are on the side of the man and the horse. Okay. Time for a cross-examination.
Starting point is 00:51:09 The first question comes from Andrew Maxwell. James, do you know the answer? No. No. Just a horse to ride around. I don't know. Yeah. A horse to run.
Starting point is 00:51:18 ride around? Where does your friend live? That's the problem. Cardiff. Cardiff. Classic, classic horse riding territory. It has got a wide high street. I'll say that much about Cardiff. Just, just galloping from one abandoned mine to the next. So you've got a friend in Cardiff, always going on about, oh, you can't chat too long on the WhatsApp, I'm off to see another horse. Yeah. This is the, this is the, see, that's the problem. horses shouldn't be you know there's still proper horses
Starting point is 00:51:52 out there that's the most Irish thing I've heard in about 10 years it's too good in that accent proper horses out there and I arrived on one
Starting point is 00:52:03 but these these hobby horses can fuck off oh yeah well is now if James if your friend was purchasing a Shire horse now that's the correct way to bring coal
Starting point is 00:52:18 around the town. You see, Russell Brand sells amulets, but Andrews still sells Shire horses. Don't come talking to me unless you got it in gold and cash.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Jewels, you know what I mean? Filons. As long as you got some brass fillings, like, we're going to shake hands on this horse right now. But they're a big old horse or, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Shire horse. You better be ready to feed them. Thanks. You know what I mean? So, like, how old is this friend, Judge? Yeah, yeah, let's ask some questions. Like, as in, do they go way back? Have you known them for years?
Starting point is 00:52:55 Yeah, yeah, since uni, about 10 years ago. And is this a horse, is this horse phase new? No, this is like their lifetime dream. They're horse people? Yeah, horse person, yeah. Are they, is this their first horse? That they own, yeah. They might have, like, ridden horses, a children, a child or whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:15 That doesn't count as a horse. Yeah, I don't know if they. the horse has, I don't heard, I don't know if that is the kiss. Did you know this person was a horse person? When I started becoming friends. In the stables, yes. No.
Starting point is 00:53:32 How far into your friendship? Because I think horse people identify themselves quite quickly. I think, no, yeah, it was probably a few years. Like, after we finished uni, we were all sort of still living in London at the time. And then they just brought up, oh, I've always wanted to own a horse. Was it? And then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Just in a lulling conversation. And then recently they've, yeah, come into it enough money through a trust fund to buy a horse. Right. So it was the day they left a house in a tweed hoodie. Yeah. Hey, I don't think this guy who's working in a smashburger restaurant needs to work here. James, I've got to ask you, we're talking about a WhatsApp group here. Yeah, it's a friend.
Starting point is 00:54:18 A friend group chat, right? What's the group called? What's the profile picture? It's called the NOMES. Why are you called the NOMES? Because I forget. No, okay, it's a bad reason you can't say it out now. It's okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:35 You forgot and that's okay, yeah. And then it's someone, one of ours is his face as like a Disney villain, really big face over one, someone else's, like, someone's. Sure. Yeah, whatever. Listen. You've painted enough a picture for us to all imagine exactly what the picture looks like. That's all we need to. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:54:53 AI is a fantastic thing. Cool. So, and so it's the no-mees. How many other people in the group? Eight, I think. And has there been a splinter group to discuss horse chat? Like they, we have discussed horse in, all together. But then we've also discussed the ridiculousness away from them.
Starting point is 00:55:15 And how like, that's just a lot of money. How much is it? How much are we talking about for a horse? Like 10, 12 grand. That's an expensive horse. Yeah. I can go to this guy. He'll strike you in,
Starting point is 00:55:27 Jason. They were talking about... I can own quit and it's a shy mate. Yeah, they were talking about like six grand and I was like, that's too much money. No, no, no, no, no. There's no need for that.
Starting point is 00:55:38 All the people were like six grand horses are dodgy. Excuse me. You've got to go more. Listen. You've insulted his culture here. Come on. Four grand horse. and as long as he lives near a roundabout
Starting point is 00:55:50 you'll never have to feed the thing he's cars are you thinking of pigeons no no stick a horse on a roundabout you're in business everybody's happy the council's happy the horse is happy everybody gets joy
Starting point is 00:56:08 past a horse wait so so this guy's lifelong dream is having a horse right do you guys like one of them yeah so do you guys do the other people people in the group chat, like, share their dreams?
Starting point is 00:56:21 No, no one else. I yell hating on him, huh? Because he had a goal, and you guys are rudderless. Yeah. James. Very compelling argument. James, I'm going to ask something maybe. It's a very good point for, but it's a good point you made.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Are you not into sailing? What's your dream? What's my dream? If it was like that kind of money, boats, way more of a better option. I own a boat. You'd go for a boat over horse. over horse every day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Would you? I'll tell you this now. Horses never sank. That's sadly not true. Apart from a never-ending story, of course, remember that. There's a lot of maintenance on a boat. Okay. Yeah, you've got to get it up in the winter months.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That's going to dry dog. You can do that with your horse if you like. Just don't put the video on social media. All I'm telling you is you never have. scrape a barnacle off a horse um yeah or just like buy my own home can i ask this guy do have we worked out who the name is for the person who's buying a horse a cj is cj is cj the wealthiest person in the whatsup group probably yeah right hmm and yet he can't afford names She's going to
Starting point is 00:57:49 1980s TV side kick that's CJ yeah so flying a helicopter around Hawaii
Starting point is 00:57:59 helping help and solve crimes you're doing fuck all CJ is maybe it stands
Starting point is 00:58:05 for cool jockey we just don't know would you so like you've been friends for a long time but do you think now
Starting point is 00:58:12 that this horse has come into it is no longer a stable relationship anyway sorry Let that be struck for the record
Starting point is 00:58:19 How many horses have you seen on this group? It was like daily. Daily horses. Yeah. It's a TikTok channel that. Is he bought a horse? Yeah. What's it called?
Starting point is 00:58:34 Oscar. Oscar, the horse. Yeah. I'm giving it a posh name. Yeah. Okay. Is this friend of yours like, he, everyone else lives in London.
Starting point is 00:58:46 He's, No, I'm the only one that lives... You're only only one to live in one. One of them moves between and everyone else is in Cardiff. Got you. Would you say he's kind of lonely? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Oh, okay. You've got a horse for a fuck sake. Well, yeah, I think that's why he bought. Okay, well, hopefully that is enough information for our teams to make their cases. So without further ado, I'm going to call upon Erica Eland. Now you have a minute to begin the case
Starting point is 00:59:11 for the prosecution. Your minute begins now. I think you guys are haters on this. man's horse you know he had he had direction he got the horse he did it you guys were like oh he he did his goal and you hate him for it um but also like you know you guys got to get your own type of horse you want a boat start you know start moving towards that boat the sea horse is his name yeah also i think it's i think it's nice when like friends are like hey look at look like You know, it's part of community building
Starting point is 00:59:48 is when someone tells you something that they're excited about that you go, even if you don't give a fuck about it, you're like, hey, that's great. It's no skin off your back. You're just being like, you know what you could do? One of these. One of thumbs up.
Starting point is 01:00:00 That's bare minimum. But then, you know, it's also, there's eight of you, so just spread it out. So I think, I think y'all are harsh on this man. He has a horse. He's a dork, obviously, you know? But like, you know, allow him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah. That's it. That's my kid. Okay. Strong opening case from Erica there. Andrew, you're going to open the case for the defence. You have a minute and it starts now. I'm against the horses. Is that right? Oh yeah. Why? Why, CJ, would you spend an innumerable amount of money, which is undoubtedly your family's wealth by the likes of going all the way back to the Battle of Hastings.
Starting point is 01:00:49 This is some Anglo-Norman activity right here. Why on earth would you spend all your money on a horse? When greyhounds exist. They do the same thing. They run around in circles and lose your money in Walthamstone. But on the upside, You can cuddle a dog, not a greyhound.
Starting point is 01:01:18 It's like fucking, it's like hugging a xylophone. It's horrible. Horrible. Horrible. And they're thick as shit. But what you can do is you can, you know, it costs a lot less to drug a greyhound than a horse. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Thank you, Andrew Maxwell, everybody. Andrew Maxwell there. Very compelling. James. All right. How do you think it's going so far? I don't know. No, I don't know either.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Okay, well, Tom, you're up next. Tom, now you are going to conclude the case for the prosecution. Yes. But are you going to do it as yourself? No, I'm going to do it in the style of a deep safe defence lawyer from a John Grisham novel. Although upsettingly, his concluding argument was going to be that it takes a lot less to drug a dog than a horse. He's used that many times before. It's very rare that it's
Starting point is 01:02:17 It's his usual defence Yeah, that's right I'm going to do in the style of that Mr. Fanchor Standen Thank you very much Fanchurendon Protiting and Providing and Providing Your minute
Starting point is 01:02:25 Should you need it begins now Ladies and gentlemen After jury Hell I reckon that some of you there From the town hell Cue him behind you at the bakery Hell What's happened to that place

Starting point is 01:03:11 and it's that verse Do not covet your neighbor's ox. Now, y'all remember the story there of my neighbor Jonathan Farmerdam there. Jonathan Farmerdam, the name that just trips off the tongue. Dutch, I believe, probably introduced the croissants to the bakery. Now, y'all remember the day he arrived with his 10-ton ox? Y'all never seen an ox ten-ton before.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Hell, my nine-ton ox won three medals year before last. He arrives into town with the ten-ton ox. Now, what do I feel? I feel covert. Now, I know you ain't supposed to feel no covered, looking at no ten-ton ox. why do I do do I go

Starting point is 01:05:23 Are you sure you want to go with snail mail if the catch rest tomorrow? Okay, well, Clarkie, you're going to conclude the case for the defense. Yeah, boy. Okay, you remember you are on the side of the side that Tom isn't. Now, you've got a minute,
Starting point is 01:05:40 and your minute begins right now. Well, I mean, come on. Everyone here is thinking the same thing. You don't want a horse. There's nothing good about horses. I mean, yes, their shoes are lucky. They're good if you're really, really hungry. But other than that, I was going to try and like shape my argument about a class thing about, you know, it's like, it's a rich person's thing.
Starting point is 01:06:12 But then you were like, I would buy a boat. It was not great. I was like, you know, normally that's for rich people. Unless, of course, you're deacon blue. So yes. He has a horse named Oscar, but you have a boat named Dignity. Oh, my God. The defence rest.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Wow. really enjoyed that we can't be chucking out deacon blue references surely not it's too up to date it's a bit too new it's going to scare away
Starting point is 01:06:52 all the teenagers now now listen I hot dog jumping frog no no that's a that's pre-fap sprout um
Starting point is 01:07:03 clip it up get it on the TikTok guys I'm afraid, I'm afraid to ask. What a gig and blues thing? They did a ship called dignity. That was, that was the, that was the, that was the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was a moment.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Yeah. Because I didn't know any of that. Tell you what, it's still going on. Right. Now, I can't make the decision myself as I am a horse. So instead, I'm going to ask our live Phoenix audience to decide. So if you think that James and therefore Andrew Maxwell and Ben Clark, are in the right, I would like you to applaud now.
Starting point is 01:07:46 But if you think Erica and Fanshaw... If you think Erica and Fanshaw made the best case, I would like you to applaud now. Is it possible that no one wins? Yes, by one furlough. I'm afraid we're going to have to shoot the horse. That's the end of that. Yeah, nobody wins.
Starting point is 01:08:07 No points in that round. Yes. So, Gwyn, as we didn't do it last time, what are the scores at the end of that round? They're the same as before. Same as before, same as before, okay. So, one more. It's nail-biting stuff at Flat Shetam down tonight.
Starting point is 01:08:27 It's high stakes. One more round to go. It's time for the next round, as we'll be calling it after the edit, round three. One more round before we find out Who will be installing the solar panel? But first can the last one to leave turn out the light?
Starting point is 01:08:45 It's the quickfire round jingle. This is the quick fire round round. It's a round that goes really quickly. Which is why it's all. always quite confusing that it has a long introduction what the heck
Starting point is 01:09:20 a very long introduction in fact it's much too long it would be like if something that was really long had a really really short introduction
Starting point is 01:09:43 that's a great metaphor that would be weird too let's think of a few examples it would be like if Martin Scorsesey's the Irishman had an introduction that just went like this here it is
Starting point is 01:10:10 the Irishman also expecting the axe of something like that mate I haven't seen the film I'm guessing
Starting point is 01:10:25 the film is about someone from Ireland who wants to make their way in the mob and so they
Starting point is 01:10:37 travel to America kind of and joining with the mob anyway all of that would take about
Starting point is 01:10:56 six hours and in the end he'd learn that the mob is a harsh life and actually he should have stayed home Ooh, this makes me want to watch it. And married his sweetheart.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Mary May. Anyway, it's a bit like if that had a short introduction or something cows really, really long like. It's not easy to think of things that are really long. Anyway, you get the gist. It's time to get down to brass tacks. Let's get on with the quick fire round. It's something that's really short.
Starting point is 01:12:01 that has a long introduction and here it is the quick fire round Yes indeed Yes indeed This We'll talk to Andrew about the accent later on But this is the quick fire round And as our show is all about solar panels
Starting point is 01:12:30 I'm going to ask our panellists to make a light switch by switching the first letters of their answers. So if the answer was Flatshare Slamdown, you'd say Slatshare Flamdown. Okay, so instead of buzzers, I'd like you to shout out your full names with the first letters flipped. Ben, let's hear yours.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Neb. No, that's not. You've not. You did your name backwards there. That's not what we're asking for. Your full name with the letters flipped. Oh dear, Clark is going to struggle. Clarkie's going to struggle.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Clarkie, you're really struggling here. Your full name with the first letters flipped around, okay? Who's Anne? I thought I'm switching by then Andrew's name. But again, why would you name be Ann then? Am? Your full name, Clarkie.

Starting point is 01:13:38 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ken Black, yeah. You're not going to win, Clarkie. I'm sorry. I just, I hate to ruin the game for everybody, but there's absolutely no way that Clarkie, when you struggle, it just say your name. Okay.
