But it's all over at the Patreon. Patreon.com, forward slash Pappy's flat share.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And. .co.uk, getting in touch? No, that's not it. I'll say it again, so it's.org. Patreon.com forward slash Pappy's flat share. Right, stuff. And if you'd pledge $5 or above, this is why I have to do all this myself. Forward slash, get into it. No, no forward slash, there's no forward slash to it. Just rack it to the dark web, get into it.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Okay, so get onto the Patreon and you can hear even more of this kind of stuff. So, Harry. So, here we go. Harry, you've got some emails to read out. Pray, silence for the emails. So, Kyle writes, he got in touch via Beathbotherspodcast.gmail.com, get in touch.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Hello, when I was a child, I played baseball with a kid called Wagon Wheel. Yeah, I can't believe this message. So, what's this in response to? This is into new with charity night and, like, you know, when, what was the one we had, when some you lose some, what was, hang on, wind chimes, wind chimes, we had.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Wagon, no, no, no, the kids are those are names. I'll accept charity night, win giants. But no, he's the thing. He's the thing. He's the thing. I'll accept charity night. Absolutely, I'll accept charity night. But wagon is not a first name. Wiggle is not a second name. So when I was a child, I played baseball with a kid called wagon wheel. That's fucking cool, that is. He had loads of freckles and was the worst player on the team. At a boy wagon wheel. Oh no, not wagon wheel. Don't put me on, we can't put wagon wheel on third base.
Starting point is 00:05:07 It's the seven innings stretch. I don't know basketballs. Uh, by the way, I'm an American and I've been a fan of Papi's podcast for a very long time. In fact, I still listen to old bangers and mash-y episodes when I'm feeling a little down. Hahahaha! This is amazing. Especially the one where Tom discusses naming his daughter, Time Slut.
Starting point is 00:05:32 So talking of weird names, do you have any recollection of this? I've got no memory of what sort of, I don't know. I don't have any memory of what we talked about in this episode we're about to play. So you want a Time Slut. Well, because here's the thing, Pary. It's interesting that we mentioned this now, because you are about to have a kid. I mean, now in the cold light of staring
Starting point is 00:05:53 parenthood in the face, I mean, that is stark reading. It really is. I mean, it's going on the list. I mean, it's... I just like to get a girl, whack a wheel if it's a boy. It's not both on the list. I think, didn't it come in the, it must have been the chat about Polly Pary puts out, right?
Starting point is 00:06:10 That must have been the chat. I think so. So I think that was the chat, but Polly Pary, Polly was still on the list, but it's not anymore. Can I ask Kyle? Would a listen back to Old Bangers in Mash, which is something I will never do, but if we were to listen back to old bangers and mash,
Starting point is 00:06:26 would we have to cancel ourselves? We may or not. What's it a different time? Anyway, thank you, Kyle. I think so. I think it probably was. We had another one from, do you want to read this one, Clarkie?
Starting point is 00:06:40 Yeah, sure. Hello, Pod Gang. Long time listener, short time patron, and first time emailer Simon here, from names only. Hello, sure. Hello, Pod Gang. Long time listener, short time patron and first time emailer Simon here from Name's Only. Hello, Simon. Hey, Simon. Simon covered a lot of ground there in a very small amount of time and I respect it. I appreciate it all of it. I like the fact he's been listening to a lot for a long time. I like the fact he's joined the Patreon. I like the fact he's got in touch with us.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I like all of that. It's like that is a dead, that is a dense opening line to a novel. You know, like you're like, oh, I so man. It's like that is a dead, that is a dense opening line to a novel, you know, like you like go, I mean it. I mean it, I've started it now, I'm gonna finish it. Absolutely, it was the best of starts. It was the worst of starts. Whoa, the reviews are in. Sorry Simon, my friend, I've changed my mind.
Starting point is 00:07:17 What, half changed my mind. He's a fickle reader, he's a fickle reader, his crossman. I think my blood sugar is low actually. Anyway, Clarky, carry on. Before I get onto the subject in question, I must apologise to Clarky for calling, causing his genitals to be on absolute fire after the roll call Orgy.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Yes, I'm punchy pariah. Hey, do not be sad about that. That's one of the times Clarky actually rhymed. Yeah. She's a peri-er. Hey, do not be sad about that. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it.
Starting point is 00:07:50 He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved it. He loved so. Well you say that Simon but it's not working out that way I'm afraid. Anywho, I went to school with a girl called Theresa Green.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh a classic. Oh my god. I was punchline. Can this be true? When her name was read out during register we would always say yes they are. Amazing, amazing. That's that's that's everyone by you. That's primary school though isn't it punchy come on you're not doing that secondary school. There's no way. Well I mean punchy pariah really took the heat off her on the register. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's like she was only the second worst named person in the class. Well also told because the teacher was doing a roll call a pap papi style, and had to do a rhyme every time. And I'd always be on my journals, or an absolute fire, punch a briar. Yes, sir! Erm, thank you, punch a briar. You're fired. Great. Well, let's, erm, let's whip crack into this episode, shall we? Let's do it. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I've had a thought. I've got an issue. I've got a question I want to ask you. I want to talk. I want a chat. Okay, let's sit down and chew the fat. Has meeting. What temperature should we set the heat to? Has meeting. Why on earth am I always waiting?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Has meeting. Who went my bed while I was sleeping? This has a has meeting. What's the point? Does life half a meeting. Beating. Beating. What's the point? Does life have a meeting? Half a meeting. Yeah, five. Uh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Hi, hi. Hi, hi. Hi, hi. Contravening the rules. Contravening, we'll stay on the same audio file we said and there, Clark, he starts a brand new audience. Oh, I'm so sorry. One rule.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You have one rule for us. One rule for you. One rule for you. Isn't it dominant Cummings? I'm wondering to rule them all. Peter Jackson. So, so you join us guys. You join us midway through a conversation because we were just about to start recording. We hadn't yet started recording it before we even began. Clarky drops an absolute bombshell which we've got to talk about. It's big, it's big. It's breaking huge. It's another, I believe, another
Starting point is 00:10:13 bento. Now we don't get this early in this, we don't usually get this early in the, in the episode, but here we go, a bento of epic purport. Rare we open with a bento. It's rare, you know, the reasons that will probably become apparent, but let's find out. Tom, I'm glad you said it's rare we open with that because it's always important to tell people when we're breaking with the usual protocol, but let's go for it. Let's go. A classic story from Ben Clark. Ben, the After Dark Clark. I fell over in the park. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:10:41 No, no. No, no. Well, this is a bit of exercise This is breaking news from when you're like seven. I know it was and it was properly one of those I like the The first thing I knew of it was when my knee hit the ground Oh, we went with Megan were you didn't you didn't think you were proposing? Are you sure it wasn't you sure it wasn't your body forcing you into marriage?
Starting point is 00:11:01 I'm sorry. Are you sure it wasn't your body forcing you into marriage? Look at that. What's wrong? What? Oh, I see. You can see it on the screen. Yeah. Did it make you feel young?
Starting point is 00:11:15 It was a bit of a common life. There's two ways to fall can make you feel very young or very old. Well, that's it. And it added a bit of, because I went down like a young person. I've heard that really rebound. I stayed down like an old person. Oh, I don't mind it. Hey!
Starting point is 00:11:33 I like everything about that, actually, yeah. So, Clarky is sexy beast. So, Clarky went down like a young person. Can you talk us through exactly what that means? So, Clarky goes down like a young person and stays down. Takes down like an old person. Can you talk us through exactly what that means? So. Like he goes down like a young person and stays down. Tastes like an old person. A hot bar. That's a Tinder.
Starting point is 00:11:49 That's a Tinder buy I'd love to read. That would get me into, you'd swipe right on that, wouldn't you? Absolutely, if that's the one that says yes. Go for it. Absolutely would. So, Clark, how do you mean you fell down like it like a young person? Um, I just, it was like a real kind of old fashioned tumble of not done one like that.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So it's a young person from the past. AKA an old person. No, me from the past. Oh, right, you found an old person from the past when I was young. It wasn't, so it wasn't like an old fashioned tumble, like you didn't fall off your penny farthing. No, who?
Starting point is 00:12:21 You fell over your spinning top. That's it, yeah. That's I it's called. I was chasing a hoop with a stick. There you go, that's why I said it could be gone actually. Yeah. It's always good to go back in and travel and see these things. The reason though, is that the reason people got a hoop
Starting point is 00:12:41 and cough, was that the reason that you don't see the hoop anymore, the hoop and the stick is because Really people to you it's like tennis elbow. It's an injury you only get from playing with a hoop and a stick I'm guessing not I'm guessing not from the silence I was trying to work out if tennis albos the only way to get tennis albos I think there's I think there may well be other ways to get tennis albo Like I think my friend got tennis elbow from having a baby. But I think.
Starting point is 00:13:09 As in the act of giving birth, or just from picking up the baby a lot. From picking up the baby a lot. Right. Ah. I was confused then. I would speak to your midwife here. That you may have.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Listen, you know what? They often do, I mean, we had the situation, Charlie, I had the situation when Khalil was born, obviously Khalil was in a funny position and she had to come out the sunroof instead, but they never once said, listen, you know, you've had the epidural, how do you feel about Khalil popping out of the elbow. LAUGHTER Seems more pleasant. Anyway, let's... LAUGHTER So, did anyone see you as the big questions, Larky? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Because that, for me, still feels like the first reaction of a fall down is get up and look around. Yeah. Like, I think you're first, it's so weird, but it feels like the first instinct with a fall down is get up and look around. Yeah. Did it? Like I think your first, it's so weird, but it feels like the first instinct with a fall is social. Yes. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:14:10 You don't want to see that. Okay. Carry on and then you see like whenever you see someone get hurt, you kind of go or see someone fall over. Sorry. Like that's the reaction you tend to see is they get up and go. Like I'm fine. I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And then you start to see the injury take a hold and that's when you strike. This was partly I think this was partly why it was an old person I felt old person on the ground because I was less concerned with that. Well I was like that really hurts and then secondly I was like quite angry, but there wasn't a good reason to be angry. Did you stay down basically? That's the old person for. I got up gradually.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Oh, you're on your way, my friends. Yeah, definitely. I mean, yeah, the worst step is someone comes over to help you. Yes, that's also it as well. You've got to step up quickly, brush yourself off, possibly laugh it off, do a little quick fake laugh to be like, this is totally fine because you don't want to be at the stage where people see you, especially if it's like a much younger person, they see you fall over and then they go home and they say, oh you're not going
Starting point is 00:15:19 to believe it. I saw an old fella stack it in the park today. I tell you what I did, I did the reverse Willy Wonka fall you know at the start when it's like he's an old man and he falls to the forward roll and jumps up And he's like ha ha I'm a young dude. Yeah, I went yeah, I went down quick and It's like look at this young buck. Oh, no Older man, so you fell into middle age. That was your, that was your, that was your door. How was the moment? Boss, I mean, we all know the birthdays approaching.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Any, any fans of the genre will know the birthdays approaching. And so maybe this is the genre of Clarkies birthday, yes. And remind me of the genre of this podcast. June the 6th, of course. June the 6th. As if it is reminding, but maybe this is maybe this is the sign that, you know, it's the first year. Maybe middle ages suddenly clapped itself upon you.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Maybe that's what you slipped on. It's the first year we can't give you the bumps. That's what it is. So you're giving yourself the bumps? I gave myself the bumps. Did you work out what caused it? Yeah, there was a ditch. There was like a quite significant dip. And were you trying to really see it?
Starting point is 00:16:30 I couldn't really see it because of the grass. Wait, can I a ditch? Well it was like a dip. So come on Clarky, be honest to yourself it was more a ditch than it was ditch wasn't it? You didn't fall into a ditch in the car. I didn't fall into a ditch. Have you given yourself trench foot? Tennis L, by trench foot, you're falling apart, man. Clarky tripped over a ravine the other day in the park. There I was, from the Grand Canyon. Yeah, I should have heard all the canyon.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I was quite an evil carnival, I love it. No, wonder you were slow getting up. LAUGHTER Brutal, brutal times are bad for. That makes me think about it. It's me and Clark, you've been playing quite a lot of online chess at the moment. Oh, really? Right.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And the best, it's really addictive, really, really addictive. But the best thing about it is at the end of the game, if any listener dears have chest.com they will know. It immediately offers you analysis on the game and it breaks the game down into like five sections which are like Blunder. Every move it says that move was either a Blunder, a mistake and an accuracy, it was good or it was excellent. And it's so satisfying to have that kind of detailed feedback on something that you've just spent a lot of time going with, actually, drumming you thought that was good, in the
Starting point is 00:17:58 long run it turns out it was inaccurate. And it'd be so satisfying if you got that at the end of every day. I don't know if I'd ever seen it again. I don't know if I would ever fall asleep again. If at the end of the day I got a sublunders. So you know there, Clarky, yesterday, there's your blunder. Like you've got a blunder, you fell over in the park, bank, big blunder. But like, I don't think Clarky needs a report sent through to him at 11 p.m. that night to say, by the way, you stack it like an arsehole in the park. That was one of your mistakes
Starting point is 00:18:30 from the day. You must have thought that was. You've got to stop sending those texts, man. I was watching you. I didn't come over to help. Obviously, your blunders are obvious. You know, so it's like like you dropped a glass, you kicked a bin, you said that and it really upset someone. Presumably by accident, not the ones you really mean. Well, yeah, it could be. But the subtleties between inaccuracies, good, excellent. I just think it'd be so exciting What when I when I fell over I felt like I was mere years away from kicking the bin Oh, mate don't say stuff like that. You can make us all sad
Starting point is 00:19:15 It will be a it will be a tough day when you're clocky. You're planning to die on your birthday, aren't you? So people remember the date yeah, yeah, the classic shape. You've got a shape, but you've got a good couple of years in you haven't you, Clarke, surely. I hope so. I keep falling up. If I keep falling down like that. There's something very satisfying about dying on your birthday, do you not think? Well, I don't, I've never done it, no, I've never done it. I've not, it's not. I was, I was walking in a cemetery yesterday, and I was checking out loads of gravestones. Love it.
Starting point is 00:19:50 And like, there is a party that thinks like, wow, like, like complete closure. That would go on the gravestone for me. If I die on my birthday, I want that going on the stone. There's something very neat about it. But does, the date goes on the stone, right? Anyway. No, the death...
Starting point is 00:20:08 I don't think so. Yeah, the death date goes on the stone, yeah. Both dates. You put your dates on the stone. Otherwise, it'll make it seem like they're still kicking about. Otherwise, it'll seem that there's been some sort of terrible... Still going. You go years, don't you?
Starting point is 00:20:20 No, you go dates. I think you go... I think you go, Dave. Yeah, yeah, you go date of birth to date of death I'm like 98% certain that it's Emma can you google some tombstones See if we can see if we can clarify this like I'm I'd be happy for years to go on I don't necessarily want the specifics
Starting point is 00:20:43 Unless it's unless it's unless it's an absolute round yeah. I don't know what the dates come up. You just say just saving on chiseling time. It's it's cost effective isn't it? If you don't put the dates in, if you just put the years, you are saving money if you're paying while the letter on the on the stone. Yeah, I mean like that, like you know, like the like I think like the but I want the, you know, I want the exact kind of all like died 80 years old on the nose or something like that, you know, like nailing. On the button. Yeah. Like, you know, the Shakespeare, it's one of the best things he did.
Starting point is 00:21:24 You think so, really? of the best things he did. You think so, really? The greatest thing Shakespeare ever did, forget all the plays, he managed to die on his own birthday. The thing about dying on your own birthday is you want to die midnight on your birthday, don't you? Oh, no, obviously you, Parry, you'd like to die on this exact same time you were born.
Starting point is 00:21:41 But so, to make it really, yeah. The time goes on the stone, doesn't it? The time goes on the stone by the millisecond. From elbow to the grave. But what you want to do from elbow to asshole. The pen Clark story. Did you die of tennis asshole?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Well here's the thing with Clark, he's arsehole, obviously, creeping up his back. So I keep tennis elbow from knocking my elbow off. No, I can't off your arsehole, exactly. So, what, wait, wait, wait, I've lost my thought. I got distracted by how disappointed Emma Corsham looked at us talking about tennis arsehole. I got distracted by how disappointed Emma Corsham looked at us talking about tennis Real let down expression coming through the zoom chat list in here Emma Do we have any any clarification on whether or not graves have their full dates on they seem to most of them seem to have Yeah, you go have the full dates, but not the not the times so parry I was gonna say if you, if you die, if you
Starting point is 00:22:45 die on your birthday, you want to be, can I just say that's coming through as an inaccuracy for me at the end of the day in the stats. Oh, yeah, you're... It's noted, don't worry. You're going to get that, aren't you? In your... I mean, here's the thing about that, is like, don't you feel like that is part of going to bed anyway, is that often if you don't sort of stop yourself from doing that, your brain will start tossing up. That was an error, that was an inaccuracy.
Starting point is 00:23:11 That went well, but largely my brain doesn't really concern itself with the things that went well at night time. It's more the, you didn't quite get that right, you said the wrong thing there. That feels like your brain's doing that anyway. I don't understand. Your brain might be, my brain, I mean like,
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm not, what is your other way, Ralph? be, my brain. I mean, like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about the other way around? I'm not the kind of guy who listens to his own podcast if you know what I mean. Not like that, like, you know, some people have your thoughts when you're saying. If more people have heard your thoughts, then you have. I dare, I don't look in that rear view mirror, mate.
Starting point is 00:23:39 You know what I mean? Sure. Don't, you know, keep your eyes on the fucking road because the real, look, over the shoulders are horror show. Anyone who says the unexamined life is not worth living has never met Tom Perry. A happy, go lucky fella who doesn't even know he's born, basically, doesn't stop to consider what happened yesterday,
Starting point is 00:23:59 barely even looks towards the future. He's living immediately in the now. My problem is, I don't know when I was born, that means I don't know when I want to die. I mean that's the gunner job. Clark, he obviously never looks over his shoulder because his ass is right there. Yeah, it's funny, man.
Starting point is 00:24:12 The old rucksacks there, bearing down in. Talk about a horror show in the rearview mirror. So I was going to say if you die on your birthday, you want to die at the end of the day. So at least because I think it will be so tough if you died, say it's your 80th birthday, and all of your relatives have thrown you a big party, and you die before the party.
Starting point is 00:24:33 That makes it very sad for your relatives. Whereas if you get the party, that's a little glimmer, they can go, well at least he had his party. At least he enjoyed his cake. At least he had a nice time. At least he had got a job to do. So I'm sorry, I'd be ahead for one final time.'m sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm I I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm I I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm I I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I I'm I I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm that thing where someone goes, I told you not to put on anger, do. Yeah, he got over it, he got over it, so he tried to push pineapple shaker tree, he had
Starting point is 00:25:06 a fucking heart attack, didn't he? I mean, what a way to go, do it. I'm a puff fellow on this edge. What a way to go, doing up, subside the head. I mean, like, it's not, it's not a fashionable way to go, is it? I think if you died during up, subside your head, there's an element of sort of almost weakened, at Bernes to it, that you would probably, yeah. Probably, you're sat there with people sat in between your legs and people would
Starting point is 00:25:28 probably like you know, people would probably be like, oh come on, come on, granddad, you daged old bastard, grab your arms and move it. Someone must have died, someone must have died mid-conquer and traveled at least 30 meters. I bet that happened. I bet someone has been propelled by a conger at least 30 meters. Yeah, I bet that's happened. I bet someone has been propelled by a conger at least 30 meters after their death. You know, like a chicken can still carry going. Yeah, if you're conquering,
Starting point is 00:25:53 actually, Congri can actually add minutes onto your life. But not because you're not going to stay alive just because the part is going to keep going. Oh my god, gotta keep going. That's why someone tanking at the start of a conga not realizing until the end of the person behind thinking Bloody hell this guy's not putting much into it. It's a fucking lead weight. I'm having to do all the heavy I got my fingers in his belt loop. This is unbelievable My god, what a treat the death
Starting point is 00:26:22 Congluck we're going to have hell Death Conga Oh my God, I want a treat. The death congeal. Look, we're going downhill. It's death congear. I'm wondering what it is. That is the way that I finally know the answer of how I want to go. I want to go mid-congear at my 80th, but well, 90th. Let's give myself another 10 years. That's it, isn't it? It's our top 100.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Every, every year. No. No, no, no, no, not 100. No, you know what it's, no. Apologies to any of our listeners who are 100, Every every year every year no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no I mean I wonder how old our oldest listener is. We've talked about youngest listener. Somebody who's 18 got in touch, thank you very much. But we've also, what's our oldest listener? Does Captain Tomlisten? Is he basically just, was he trying to start a conger around his back garden?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Was that what it was? Nobody got involved with this conger, because he's not that friendly with his neighbors. So now he's got a knighthood, but he can't tell anyone actually what I was trying to do was Conquer. I was trying to do it, I was trying to do a social distance Conquer around my back garden. That's it, that's it, that's it, I've worked it the way I want to go. And 90th birthday pre-cake so that no one, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:38 expects the cake, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And if I make sure 90th birthday, though, just to tip you over the edge, I'm poisoning the cake anyway. Thank you. I just don't know. I know you're dear friend. Yeah, as one of your dearest and close friends.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I know, I'm going to poison you. Unfortunately, I won't be there because I'm a fallen into a ditch on the way. Clarke is not making it. Clarke is not making it to, you're not making it to, you're not making it to 40 mate. There's no way. LAUGHTER
Starting point is 00:28:08 What are you going to write your going? He'll be suffocated by his own asks, it'll have traveled over, over his head. The comb over. LAUGHTER The tennis comb over. Clarke died of tennis-ask comb over. LAUGHTER
Starting point is 00:28:23 Well, that get named after him? That's also something to be desired about, I think, is by, you know, if you're going to tank it, be the first to tank it by that way and let it become the power. You've always had a real thing about Lou Gareg. You've always been incredibly jealous of Lou Gareg and Tony Smallpox as well, haven't you? Exactly. Well, that was the first minute space. Yes, that's right. Tony Smallpox, Lou Gehrig and Buzz Aldrin. Who can forget that? Famously. That's going on the family quiz. I've said it once before, but it bears a repeat.

Acast.com For me the worst fall I ever did was an absolute if you're talking about an error or stupidity that would go on your chart at the end of the day. This is one of them. I was walking home one evening. It wasn't even drunk. I was walking home from work and
Starting point is 00:30:24 I clocked across the other side of the road right by the mall in Bromley. I clocked at a band and shopping trolley and I thought, here we go. I'm pushing that down the street. Yeah. Do you not, when you see an abandoned shopping trolley and if you're on your own, you think I'm having a little go on that, and it'll push around. I think, I think, was this before you could drive? Ah, yes, of course it was. Of course it was basically everything
Starting point is 00:30:52 was before I could drive. I only let it drive two years ago, yeah, yeah, that might be that instinct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. I was like, I can't be trusted with a car, but I, shopping trolley, what's the worst that could happen? You've got to learn. And also as well, a little bit like when I found the top of the, when I found the top of
Starting point is 00:31:09 the, the, the, the, my parking meter, I thought I could at least get, you know, put, go around a corner, smash this up with a brick and get a quit out of it. So, you know, of course you want to have a little go on the shopping trolley. So I'm pushing the shopping trolley and, uh, I'm pushing it past the mall and I get cocky. I'm like, I genuinely can't get over the idea. You can't get over the idea. Because if you're a guy pushing an empty shopping trolley down the road, then you're one of those guys who takes a shopping trolley away from a supermarket. I could. Like taking it back. But you're not going to take it back. You're not going to take it back. But, but you're not gonna take it back. I'm not gonna take it back.
Starting point is 00:31:45 You're not gonna take it back. You're one of the guys who took it out in the first place. No, no, I could have found it. I could be a good Samaritan. I did end up pushing it all the way back to St. Petersburg's where I found it. I took it a little bit out my journey, but I did it. But, so I was pushing it and I saw some low ballads
Starting point is 00:32:08 and I thought, here we go. Little assortment. Of course. No, I thought. And so I saw some low ballads on the pavement, just on the edge of the pavement. And so I thought, you're trying to jump them. No, I tried to loop around them like in crafts, like little dog in crafts. Like a chicane. Like a chicane, exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:22 So I was doing the chicane and I did about three and the shopper trolley went up on two wheels and took me with it. And so I stacked it and the shopper trolley fell. And the noise was so great that obviously everyone on the other side of the road who was standing waiting for the bus, they clocked it. And I just remember it, a great, I mean, I should have felt a great sense of shame
Starting point is 00:32:48 before I even saw the shopping trolley, that I saw a shopping trolley and thought, I'm going to push that, but I didn't. And it wasn't until the shopping trolley fell on me that I was like, yeah, I mean, I mean. I mean, chest.com needs to put in something that's above Blunder. I don't think Blunder quite covers that. We need to look into a mega Blunder or a Thunder Blunder. Maybe Thunder Blunder.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Or like, you know, like, or Trolley Foley. I don't know why it has to rhyme. Trolley Foley's too specific. I think your Trolley Foley is a Thunder Blunder. My Trolley, my Trolley, actually. Thank you, mate. And I think that's a Thunder Blunder. What are the top Thunderblunders of life?
Starting point is 00:33:26 And I think that's, especially if you talk about other people clocking it. Like, if it happened, and I was just in the park, and there was no one around, I probably would have felt fine about it. But it was, I was brought out of myself immediately by how silly it was in the first place to try and do the shopping trolley around it.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And actually, what an awful thing to have to happen to me, because I was, you know, I had the, silly it was in the first place to try and do the shopping trolley around it. Exactly. What an awful thing to have to happen to me because I had the carefully joined of a teenager, which is what I was at the time. I was full of the joyous spring. I just worked day at the Music and Video Club and off I went. I tell you what, that's what Thunderblunder is, is the difference between Thunderblunder and Blunder is, if you had knocked into a shopping trolley and what Thunder Blunder is, is the difference between Thunder Blunder and Blunder is, if you had knocked into a shopping trolley
Starting point is 00:34:08 and fell over, Blunder, right? Clarky falling over in the park, Blunder, because of the ditch, but Clarky seeing the ditch and going, oh yeah, I'm going over the ditch! Tripping falling bang, Thunder Blunder. Yes, those things, that's the distinction.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Those things where you cannot see what's so obviously in front of you. Cubress, yeah. Blunder plus Ubris equals Thunder Blunder. Yeah. I once, I once tried to run up a very tall pile of snow and you can't do that. No, you just go through it.
Starting point is 00:34:38 You go straight into it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And did it turn out to be a postbox? Ha, ha, ha, ha.box? It was posted yourself home. Unbelievably, it was another upturned shopping trolley. Couldn't believe it. I wanted an amazing thing to be told. For me to answer this.
Starting point is 00:34:53 But yeah, when you go, oh, I'm a dickhead for that. That's proper, that's proper thick because proper for what? That's pure thunderblunder because what was I expecting to happen? You cannot stat like, if you tread on a snowball, it smashes completely, right? You can't stand on a snowball. You can, you know, even ice, you can barely stand on ice unless you're that polar bear from the Fox's Glacier Minter
Starting point is 00:35:18 Adverts. But basically, and let's be honest, that cuts flaunting it, right? We get it, you can stand on ice, but you don't have to fucking chuck it in our faces okay you know what I mean so yeah the nature of the nature of the thunder blunder is it's it's a lack of thought follows by immediate sort of deep regret immediate it comes before the Thunderblunder.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Exactly, yeah, it's getting cockies, isn't it? But the thing is, you need an element of pride, you need an element of cockiness, you need an element of adventure in life. Well, I mean, that's the, there is, ironically, there are the two ends of the scale, but there is such a thin line between your excellent move and your Thunderblunder move.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And it's like like without the attempt, you're not gonna get to excellent. You're like, oh sure, you're gonna get good, you're gonna get an accuracy, but you're not gonna get to excellent unless you, I mean, like, look, you pull off that chicane with that shopping trolley. Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, you jump onto the wheels,
Starting point is 00:36:21 you go all the way down the hill, straight into St. Jamesbury's car park, you hop off the trolley, it lands into the wheels, you go all the way down the hill, straight into St. Petersburg, you hop off the trolley, it lands into the bay and the pound flies out and lands in your hand. Yes, that's going on excellent, my friend. There's your excellent, ding, ding, ding. You know, we can see that, that's what, there's your attempt, that's gonna get you excellent,
Starting point is 00:36:43 but instead you get the thunder blender, but you gotta attempt these things, because otherwise you're's gonna get you excellent, but instead you get the thunder blender, but you gotta attempt these things because otherwise you're never gonna get to excellent. And sometimes it's the people who are aiming the highest, who fall the furthest. Yes, and I did fall the furthest because I went from utter joy to complete crippling embarrassment.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I'm glad it's all right. What, you couldn't walk afterwards. I was, yeah, I was, you're not going to believe this, don't believe this. The wheels of the shopping trolley fused with my feet. No way. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying your trolley boy. I'm trolley, I was the trolley boy of Bromley. Yeah, I became, I was a cyborg. And you know, for many, one of the, one of the lowest level cyborgs out there when I'd go Conventions and meet the other cyborgs. They would really rinse me because they would be like oh, what's your thing?
Starting point is 00:37:31 I can shoot lasers out my dick. Oh my thing is I've got castes on my feet Yeah, one of them is a little bit wobbly and Fucking hell what you returned. What was that? What's that film like that in the 80s of like mad guys with like fucking wheels on their arms and like, on their baddies in a film? Oh, they're like the wizzing of us thing. Yeah, in the return to us.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Return to us. Yeah, that was, that's the shit out of me. The wheelies when we return to us. Yeah, you were half a wheelie. I was half a, I was half a, I was trying to pop a half a wheelie, yeah. Oh man, actually, you know what? That you know what that now I think about that. I just I'm gonna tell you now folks I just said that as a bit of a laugh, but um
Starting point is 00:38:12 Yeah, sorry, but that really hang on hang on are we dealing with an are we dealing with an inaccuracy here? Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, it's quite inaccuracy. Yeah. Yeah, I guess all I guess all jokes really are inaccuracies, depending on... Unless they're good. Yeah, depending on how well they go. But most of my tend to be inaccuracies or thunderblunders. Yeah. Absolutely. The reviews are in.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yes. There's a reason I could upload it in my stand-up online. A lot of inaccuracies in there. A lot of thunder. I just can't deal with the comments. I can't do it with people correcting me. Can people do reviews of this episode with how many inaccuracies, thunderblunders and good excellent comments? I think we are, but a computer program away. Aren't we? A flat slam computer program. So we like chess.com flat slam and it's like it just immediately pops up at the end
Starting point is 00:39:15 over the end credits. But ding ding ding ding ding. Love that. Well, if anyone is able to computer program a device that goes that goes pudding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, at the end of each episode. You know, we're not technical experts, but I think the pudding, ding, ding, ding, ding, element of it is quite important.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I believe Twitter is basically the pudding, ding, ding, ding, ding, because people get in touch with us on Twitter to say stuff like, you thick bastards, didn't, you know, ducks don't give milk. And you wanna go, you wanna go, hey yeah, it was a joke. But if you say it was a joke, that far after the fact, it means it wasn't a joke. You just look like a crettin.
Starting point is 00:39:56 It was just a thunderblunder. It was an inaccuracy. It was an inaccuracy, it was an inaccuracy. Yeah, no, a thunderblunder, no ducks died. No, like the duck's gonna fucking... If you try to milk a duck and kill it, that would be a thunder blender. If you're there milk in the duck
Starting point is 00:40:11 and then the duck fucking sticks its head up your ass or something, thunder blender, you know? But I don't know how you're trying to milk the duck. Yeah, well, you've got to get the duck between... You've got to get the duck between your knees to milk the duck in the first place. And if you've decided to go tail pointing outwards and head pointing between the legs, then...
Starting point is 00:40:31 Was this exactly why I pushed my ass so far? Well, yeah, Clarky, Clarky, let's say... It's a swan. Yeah, I'm fine. Clarky can... Clarky's not... He's in danger milking the swans, but... He's safe... He's safe milking the ducks. Well, he's in danger of trees and as well, if he's milking the swans. Well, that's in danger of milking the swans, but he's safe milking the ducks. Well, he's in danger of trees and as well, if he's milking the swans.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Well, that's it. Imagine, like that, if you get a swan between your knees, I think obviously killing a swan is trees and, but certainly getting between your knees is a mild tree in a misdemeanor, isn't it? Absolutely. And I'd say what else is a Thunder Blender is, if you're coming along with a shopper trolley and you spot three low mallards And try and weave around those you know because obviously the ducks are gonna get injured. Yeah, yeah, and
Starting point is 00:41:13 As evil as ducks are I've got no prob with them You know if you see it's let's put an end to that rumour by the way. Yeah, I've got no I've got no prob with ducks. I I like to go and feed the ducks in the park You know, I'm what no, I've got no prob with ducks. I, uh, I like to go and feed the ducks in the park. Um, you know, I'm, what, what do you feed them? Uh, well, I've, I've, hear me out now, I feed them small, small, pellets of metal out of a BB gun. Right. Okay. Okay. And, and, and, and how are you delivering those pellets into their mouth?
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yeah. Well, I, I basically, I get them, I get them between my knees. You load them into a gun. Yeah, I load them into it. I load them into a small BB gun. And I put the gun to the back of their head because I don't want to shock them. It goes in like the taste, you know. Right, it goes in via, it goes to this stomach to via the back of their head.
Starting point is 00:41:55 And yeah, that's that. So when you say feeding, you mean shooting. I'm murdering ducks, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, yeah. I'm murdering ducks. Genuinely, what do you feed your ducks with? Bread. Stale. With a stale bread. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you shouldn't feed them bread. But I've also had recently that people have been going, hold on. All the ducks are a really hungry, cause that was feed of the bread anymore.
Starting point is 00:42:28 No, list the deal. We are in prime inaccuracy territory here. I actually thought you, I thought I was laying you up for a good move there on extra, cause this feels like the kind of thing you're, this is your bread and butter, no pun intended. But like this is your realm, you know, of like,
Starting point is 00:42:43 actually, that's what I was waiting for, it was like a clarky, you know, of like, actually, that's what I was waiting for was like a clarky actually. Animal facts. Well, I don't know, basically, I don't know, I've heard, I've heard it's bad for them, I've also heard that it's not so bad for them and you should still feed them bread. So that's our official line everyone, but the statement is it might be bad for them or it might not be bad for them,
Starting point is 00:43:02 so just use your common sense. I think to stay alert guys when you're feeding the ducks. Yeah, yeah. So producer caution seems to have knowledge here as per. What's the, is there an official line on bread and ducks? Preferably bird seed or I think cereal is just going to... It can't be like preferably bird seed or cereal and if not that bread.
Starting point is 00:43:30 That bread can't be the next best thing for the whole base color. No, it's not good for them, but then I think it's a lot... Why is it not good? What does it do to them? What have I been doing to ducks? They're gluten intolerant. Are they? Are they honest? Are they celiacs? Are they cini quacks? I don't think bread's like an actually digestible thing, isn't that the whole problem with bread? It's not really something that's supposed to
Starting point is 00:43:53 You better off giving them the like the wheat that the flowers made for them or something because it's you know it's full of protein goes out. It's not going to sink though. You're going to throw a load of wheat into the water. Yeah, go for it. Why? You can be sure. Throw the wheat in. Oh, why don't throw wheat into the water? That can't be the case, can it? I'm at PET ducts when I was growing up.
Starting point is 00:44:14 And when you had that... Did you? Did you? Oh, this is seed. It was some kind of bird seedy thing we had to do. I think if you're feeding them on the ground, seed is fine. I think that's great. But if you're feeding them on... If you're feeding them on the ground, seed is fine. I think that's great. But if you're feeding them on the water,
Starting point is 00:44:29 then you're going to have to do something to the seed, like for example, attach small edible... Yeah, like a little parachute or something. So it gives the planet a time to see that the seed's coming. Because otherwise it's almost straight in the bottom, like a seeded leaf. They eat things from the bottom of the river do have to die down and eat stuff. No, you can still say they're arse hanging out the back. They don't dive down all the way to the bottom of
Starting point is 00:44:55 the sea. Do they? I mean of the water. I know ducks don't typically swim on the sea. Sometimes when they're on holiday sure exactly exactly We Tom the water Fire I really lost I really lost faith in that because of the Lux I was getting from everyone. I think we were just waiting to see what the next line was going to be rather than Rather than shutting you down.
Starting point is 00:45:25 But, you really went for it, and you're in Thunderblunder territory. But I was always looking on with, I was also in it. I was in excellent territory as well. Exactly. You've got to be, I can't be one without the other. That's it.
Starting point is 00:45:45 What a life lesson we've learned today. From Clarkies tumble in the park, we have learned that unless you're going for a run, you ain't gonna fall, oh no, hang on, there's something in it. Wait, okay. Before you come up with today's lesson, because I think we're almost at it. But I think part of the lesson we learnt from you, their parry, is that the difference between a thunderblunder and excellent is confidence.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Do you know what? If you had carried on, because you were the one who thunderblundered that halfway through, if you had carried on and just pushed through on the rest of your smoke on the water parody We would have gone well he seems to like it, you know, but it's that you shut it down Can I disagree with you there though? I think I think it's confidence plus skill and without the skill Right because yes because you had the confidence to take on those ballards
Starting point is 00:46:42 It with that trolley you didn't have the skill to pull it off sure. I've got the confidence to take on those ballads? It was that trolley, you didn't have the skill to pull it off. Sure, I've got the confidence to launch into wheat on the water. Have I got the skill to live in that second line? Who am I? The noise next door? No! Clarky has got the confidence to take himself into the park and run square across a canyon. Has he got the skill to pull it off?
Starting point is 00:47:01 No, he's not road runner. You know, so it's confidence plus skill equals excellence. Confidence plus something else. Thunderblown. Ecospapis. Coppies. Plus thickness. Ecospapis.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Here end of the lesson. Has Beating. For what belief would you take the beating? Has Beating. Well, well, well. stats are in guys and the episode was Bing-bing-bing excellent and good full of lots of inacres and mistakes The stats on it we'd love the stats to be in for that it was the usual mix Yeah, if you want to get in touch, I tell you what if you think you've got the stats for that episode
Starting point is 00:47:43 Why not leave us an eye to choose review and put the stats in the eye to choose review. So obviously, obviously, obviously five stars will do it, but in the actual review, give us the stats that you think that episode deserved and we'll read them out the next time round. Absolutely right. It's a great way to tell other people about our podcast, Just give us a nice review, we'll always like that. Also, you can get in touch with us at papysflatshare at gmail.com as Chloe did.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Now Chloe's got a message for you, Pary, based on the chat we had about the giddy list a couple of weeks ago. She says, hi, her papys. I'm currently an engineering student at uni. Hope does not make me the youngest dear listener. I'm 22. No, you're not the youngest listener.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Sorry, sorry, Chloe. Anyway, earlier today I was watching one of my online lectures. I have a hydraulics lecturer who tends to go a bit off topic. And while I'd probably be better off just reading the notes, I do find his rambles quite entertaining. Maybe for a similar reason as to why I like your podcast. Yeah, I think we are like sort of three groovy hydraulics lecturers Three rambly lecturers
Starting point is 00:48:50 In today's lecture he pondered what groovy lecturers the groovy lecturers are back. Hey guys In today's lecture he pondered whether the successive engineering projects should be measured by the happiness They bring people rather than the GDP. And on this topic, he spoke about the U curve of happiness, where people tend to be happiest at the start and the end of their lives and miserable in the middle. This is not a great thing to bring up to a lecture of sad young people locked in at home. He essentially told us it's going to be downhill for the next few decades. But below is the slide from the PowerPoint to prove this. And it's a little picture of Ernie from Burton Ernie standing on a U. And it says, happiness
Starting point is 00:49:29 levels follow the U-shaped curve with happiness higher towards the start and at the end of our lives, even as most members will in middle age. To cheer myself up, Chloe writes, I decided to listen to a house meeting, Brackett's duck milk, only to find that Tom confirmed this point and is reluctant to pick up a guitar. Nightmare. I hope you fight against this. Pick up the guitar, tennis racket, paintbrush, etc. and fight the U-curve. I love that fight, the U-curve. I think you curve, guys. Absolutely fight the U-curve. And not to be confused with Clarkie who is fighting the U-bend with his ass half-up is back. So, love the pod. They're really
Starting point is 00:50:04 keeping you getting a lockdown. Thanks, Chloe, that means the world to us, thank you so much. Chloe, although fighting the U curve does feel like, if you fight the U curve, you won't get the upside on the side of the year, you're in. Yeah, you don't want to flip it into an end, do you? Yeah, well, you don't know ending a J, you know, like, if you're in, yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Yeah, so I think though, but that suggests that there is a finite amount of happiness you can have and it's up to you. Yeah, I've done it. Yeah, yeah. So I think though, but that's that suggests that there is a finite amount of happiness you can have. And it's up to you where you put it in your life. Surely there's a way of making yourself happy. You know, you can bring happiness to yourself throughout your life. It's not what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:50:36 So you could also be a happy, you know, happy, happy kid, happy old person, but throw a bit of happiness into the middle with a bit of guitar playing. Surely that's gonna be it, right? What letters that could make it? You can make a W? Yeah, it is, it is more like... Double use a bit more dramatic, isn't it? Yeah, I'm good. Oh yeah! Yeah, he's a bit of a W and unfortunately he's in one of the dips at the most, so I give him...
Starting point is 00:50:58 I need to keep calling him a W. Stop calling those people W. Great, well thanks for getting such Chloe. Yeah, and if you've made it this far, don't forget that we're doing a live flat share slam down on Thursday, the 28th. That is this Thursday.
