Starting point is 00:02:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been sitting on this. He really has. We have a strange relationship. And I have this with a few people now. Yeah. Where things all happen to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:09 And I don't tell them because I think, well, I can tell them when I've got a microphone. Yeah. Yeah. This is the sum of our friendship now. We only talk to each other on mic. Before this recording. How are you, by the way? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:20 No, no, don't ask that. It's not how do you cope with John Robbins. This is, this is. Oh, he's taking his glasses on. He's putting his glasses back on. So, Tom, let's not forget, Tom. This is still an audio medium. If you're going to do an impersonation, you've got to do a good bit of business, though.
Starting point is 00:03:40 It's a lovely bit of business. I didn't see it, sadly. I'll give you a pair of glasses. You can really do it. As Pacino said to Chris O'Donnell, I didn't see it, son. Tom's taking his glasses off. He's nodding. He's putting his glasses back on.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I love glasses. I'd love glasses. I'd love glasses. Nature's prop. Yeah. You've got so much wheelery. Naturally, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, yeah. Like, I want to, I want them, I don't need them. Like, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:09 but then you can't be going around in clear-framed glasses. What would your top glasses move be? Because I think one way, you stick your hand your ear and wiggle it when someone says something suggestive. Or when a busty lady walks into the room. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Okay. There's a good reason. That's why I'm not allowed glasses. I do need them. I went with the opticians. It was the first thing. I did and they said we're going to have to take those off you, I'm a friend. Oh, well, thank you, Matron.
Starting point is 00:04:39 What year is this, Tom? Up here? Yeah. 78. Which is weird, so I wasn't born there. You weren't around in 78. Yeah. You're an old soul.
Starting point is 00:04:47 A man born out of time, politically. Morally. Morally. And in terms of... And comedy. And your general, but yeah, comedy as well, crucially. Crucially. Yeah, but like, that, that, take them off.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I like the take off and holding the bridge of your nose. That's good. Well, when I'm saying something. Yeah, yeah, that's it. You're wobbling your glasses. I'm taking mine off and holding the bridge of my nose. What about the, what about putting one arm to the mouth? Just to, I'm really thinking.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I'm going to cue the end of my glasses. That's how much I'm thinking. Or I don't, people who wear glasses that I don't like it when they take them off. you do look odd don't you you look I feel like you're angry at me every time I'll take you glass off
Starting point is 00:05:34 because I look a lot more stirred make me to my glasses off but the thing is that if I was angry at you I took my glass off I had no idea where you were you got a great chance to escape you could stack a load of cushions up there
Starting point is 00:05:47 and I'd be ticking you off like Mr Magoo anyway listen I was in hospital oh yes of course let's talk about it so I woke up on Saturday morning, 5 a.m.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Right. It's an excruciating pain. Oh, no. Yeah, excruciating pain. He looks so happy about this. It's because I thought I've got to really tell on the podcast. It didn't even matter. Whatever the outcome.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Don't tell the boys, but I've got something going on. Don't tell my emergency contacts. Speaking of emergency contacts. Was it return of the anal Charlie Horse? No, it wasn't the return of the anal Charlie Horse. Thank you for bringing that. It's been a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:31 It's been a while since we mentioned it. Not asthma. You used to have to sit on a tennis ball, do you remember? I do. Well, I was told to sit on a tennis ball. I did, and it did absolutely nothing, except to send me straight back to A&E. It was like a space hopper for you, though, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:06:45 You got around on it for a while. Off to work on the tennis ball. Absolutely. Tennis ball and two match sticks, and off I go. Ball bearing you. You have to scale down. Ball bearing for you. That's right.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Honestly, though. honestly, if I was feeling too relaxed, that's the last you see that ball bearing. Away he goes. I would just, I would walk into a room and I'd be rattling like a pinball machine. People would be wiggling their glasses.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Lethal if you farted. Yeah. I'd be like a gatling gun. So wasn't the anal Charlie Horse. Do you think there's, because there was an act, you know, a turn back in the day, Mr. Methane, who would, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:26 who was able to fart on command. 78s. the good old days of turns he was able to fart on command yes he could sort of he could suck air up and fire it out again okay that was how and do a tune couldn't he could do a tune
Starting point is 00:07:40 he could fire a dart he could suck up he could suck up so he could I wonder if he could I wonder if you could drink a drink like if he could get out an innocent smoothie not so innocent
Starting point is 00:07:53 not so innocent but yeah anyway there was him do you think I that could be my, you know, the next stage of my performing career could be the human,
Starting point is 00:08:05 we come on stage. The human gatling gang. We put balloons in our mouths. Yeah. You go to the other end of the room. Drop my kex. And off we go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I feel like Benadorm is the place. I mean, for us. By the way, you would fit in very well. Again, politically, morally and comedy. My sunglasses have done a lot of work in Benadon.
Starting point is 00:08:24 You would be great in Benadorn. I feel like if, if we, the three of us, move to Benedorn, with me, with my ass at five
Starting point is 00:08:30 bearings. Matthew Tom and Benadour. Matthew Tom and Benadour. Here we go. Matthew Tom and Benadour. Tomarief. Okay. Hello?
Starting point is 00:08:37 We're back out. Yes. Matthew and Benadorn. Yeah. Croatia. Croatia. Croatia is the name of a place now. Benadorn.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Tomarief. And Croatia. Croatia. Matthew's in Croatia. Why am I Croatia? We're trying to have a good time, mate. Yeah, I know. You keep telling off the cushions.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Croatia. It's Croatia. Crosby's in Croatia. It's going off the first three letters. I mean, you've looked out. I mean, Croatia's beautiful. Yeah. But I don't know if Dabrovnik needs a man with a Gatlin gun for an ass.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I don't think there are many places that do, but I think Dibrovnik is a one of them. Listen. Yes. Anyway, I woke up in excruciating pain. If we were having a word, we'd be doing specials. where we'd be coming live from Beledom next week, wouldn't we? That's what we'd be doing.
Starting point is 00:09:32 If we had the funding behind us, yeah, that's it. The YouTube special, the boys hit Croatia B. I'm really trying to make it work. Yeah, I know,
Starting point is 00:09:44 and it's not. I think it's confusing. It is, yeah. I think the thing, the thing, the thing, I've, I've,
Starting point is 00:09:52 I've, I've been watching a lot of, like, what makes good online content. Oh, really? Oh, wow. Simplicity of idea. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah, and that's always been our problem. We've either got, it's either way too simple, or there's no idea. Or bad of idea. Yes, bad of idea has always been our problem, bad of idea. But anyway, yes, so I'm going to Croatia with Dan and Adam. They don't know about it yet, but I'm sure they'll be up for it. Or is it like we all wake up in Benadorm, Tomarief and Croatia, bro, and we race back to the sofa? It's very top gear.
Starting point is 00:10:27 It's very classic gear. of Top Gear. It's very grand tour. We're all in the shadow of Top Gear, I think, as content creators. Do you think so? Absolutely. Why did you go to the hospital, Matthew? Yeah, because I've got so many questions about we're all in the shadow of top gear, but I don't think I want any answers.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. I'd love it. I'd just like to ask the questions to just a stony wall of silence. Crosby ended up in hospital because he was driving a mini metro through Mount Everest. Crucially, Tom's so in the shadow of it. He's never seen it. It's too intimidated to watch it. Listen, we've all read, we're going on a bear hunt.
Starting point is 00:11:11 If you come across Mount Everest, you can't go through it. Tom. I think around or over are your two options. Yeah, but that's what gives, you know, top gear clerks, and it'll be like, well, I'm going through it. It's not bad clerks, to be fair. Thanks. More the sort of redness of face than anything else.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, more the brain. On the old 78 brain. So, yes. I woke up in excruciating pain. Excruciating pain. Excruciated pain. Talking of redness. One red foot.
Starting point is 00:11:41 What? One red foot, yeah. Go out. Whoa. That's my initial thought. I thought, you can't be a go. It's finally coming for me. And what an absolute, what a, what a kicker.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yeah, we heard it. What a kicker. Yeah. We heard it, Tom. Yep. So what a... Give him the full Tim on the office. Are you all right, Tom?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Are you, are you okay? You're having a breakdown? Check his feet. He's got two black feet. I think you've got gout of the brain. So, go on, go on. But I would say, wouldn't it be bad if I get gout, having stopped. drinking two years ago.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah. And then it finally, like it follows. And no meat either. Bad for the brand. No meats. Yeah, exactly. Or maybe your foot is like the picture of Dorian Gray. It's like,
Starting point is 00:12:36 why you're gesturing to me, mate? Like it's dealing with the sins of all of us kind of thing. Why am I dealing with your sins? My poor foot. But yeah, so you think that like what, like because of the way I lived up until the point when I stopped drinking,
Starting point is 00:12:53 something had to give. and in this case it was my little tone. It's all gone down to your foot. Yeah. Well, anyway, it wasn't gout. I didn't know it wasn't gout at the time though. Where was it read up to? Well, it was read up to about halfway up the foot.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Oh. Okay, about halfway up. And so I went to, I woke Charlie up and I said, I'm going to go and drive myself to the urgent care. Oh, how? Right. Because I did, I did the old, you know, NHS 1-1-1. I checked and they said, like, heart attack. Seek.
Starting point is 00:13:23 They always say heart attack. They always say you're in a heart attack of the foot. Get yourself immediately to the urge to care. Did you have to drive the hospital upside down like Mr. B working the pedals with your hands? I don't think he drives upside down. It's the kind of thing you would do though. Some of you've seen anything. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:13:41 Top Gear was in the shadow of Mr. B. Top Gear saw that and said, hold my beer. Hold my beer. I'm driving to Everest. Hold my Hawkstone beer. Is that what it's called? I don't know. That's not.
Starting point is 00:13:52 So anyway. Right. Did I drive upside down? I asked your question, Tom. Tom, no, I didn't drive upside down like Mr. Bean would do. You've got a bad foot though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:03 We've clarified that. It wasn't so, but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't drive. Okay. It was okay. It wasn't so bad you had to have it out the window all the way to the hospital to keep it cool. What's the sensation, this pain thing? Burning. Burning.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Burning. Burning. And a tightness of skin as well. Is it swollen? It's swollen, yeah, it's red and it's swollen. And so all of the definition in my foot, and you know I've been working out my feet. All of the definition I've been working for. My foot six-pack was invisible.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Oh, no. So that was gone. It was just a big, swollen, red foot. A sign of a bite? No sign of a bite. No sign of a bite. We're all working out. Oh, is that what we're doing?
Starting point is 00:14:43 Is that what you're doing? You're going to webmdee this. We'll get to the diagnosis. Did you go up against the radiator as he slept? No, not up against a radiator. And crucially is the summertime. Had you slept with a tawny on? No.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Again. No. Tom a gay more like. I hadn't. I hadn't been swimming and like, you know, the little thing you get with the key on it. I hadn't had that. Oh, yeah. I didn't keep that around my ankle overnight or something like that.
Starting point is 00:15:07 No. But a memory. No. They're too small for me, though, is at the pool? Really? Mm. Is that what you're saying? Where are you?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah. Yeah. They're like, yeah, I can't get them around my wrist. Is that true? I don't know if they're like people are smaller in Exeter or in the South West. Yeah, yeah, people are a kind of giant who's come down from the Midlands. The Midlands giant, the Wolverhampton Giant. I have to tie it in my, like, wrapped your waist.
Starting point is 00:15:34 You're indicating your waist there now. Tom. Don't want to see. Like a rubber ring. You're giving yourself a gastric band. Tom, what are you doing to yourself? I woke up with an agonising pain, the whole bottom. at the top of my body
Starting point is 00:15:52 and I drowned I have to tie it into my trunks with the top with like the tying cord and just have it there so it doesn't go around your wrist doesn't go around your wrist
Starting point is 00:16:03 doesn't go around my wrist no because it does but it causes some discomfort red hand have like a swimming float

Starting point is 00:20:10 It's a good time to go to urgent care Saturday morning at 5 It's all cleared out There's no one you know No one's around really They've put on Cs BBs, like they're expecting, like, the kids to be up first. So I'm watching CBBs.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I'm sat there with my, with my foot. I get my foot looked at. Anyone else in there? No one else in there. I see a, I see a, I see a kid leaving with his dad. The kid's probably 60 or 17. He's on crutches. So I'm guessing, I don't know, jumped out of a bunk bed or something.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You know, something like that. He's not, there's not a drunken injury. There's no one, you know, no one who's been in a fight. There's none of the argy bargy you get. If I've been there. You had Bupa. It did feel like that, yeah. It was a good, I mean, it was a good service.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I was the only person there. Yeah. The first person seen, naturally, I was the only person there. It would be weird if they were like, anyone, literally anyone else. That looks fucking gross. We'll wait for more people to show up,
Starting point is 00:21:08 and then you can be third or fourth in line. One doctor went outside of broke his wrist just to be seen before you. Come on, they do as a solid. Doctors are injuring themselves, yeah. Shatting his face in a wheelie bin. But yeah, so I, I, um, I get seen by the nurse, about a half an hour later, I get seen by the doctor.
Starting point is 00:21:25 This is embarrassing. It's athlete's foot. What? So I went to the doctors for athletes' foot. He's right. He's like, yeah, it's bad. It's really bad athlete's foot. You've got infection in your athlete's foot, but basically you've got athletes' foot.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Oh, dear. Have some cream. Have some penicillin. Myocotta powder. Oh, I don't know about myocotter powder. What's that? Sounds delicious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:47 That's what we used to have back in the day, I think, my cotter powder. I've not had athletes foot in a long time. Well, I've got it right now, man. It does take you back, doesn't it, Athletes foot? It's like, it's back where there with varucas. Yeah, exactly. But that's what it would be like. You'd be like, oh, have you heard Matthews in hospital with a varuka?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Took yourself to A&A. How weak is he? He has to go to A&E at 5am. Because he's got athletes foot. Athletes. A thing that, yeah, you're right. You should be able to sprinkle some talc into your socks for a few days, and then it's gone. Beauty.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'm on day six of seven days of penicillin. It's still there. Oh, God. Yeah. And you're podcasting? I'm podcasting on a bad foot. And I drove here. Maybe that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Up so down. Pressing the pedals. I was wondering why your handstanded in the room. I was getting loads of people beeping the horn and going, it's Mr. Bean. Our hero. Our comedy hero. Isn't that how Michael Richards got the job of Kramer was doing a handstand? Oh, I thought you meant to have an athlete's foot.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Is that where you get into the room like that, kind of hopping on his good foot? Wasn't that the story? Was that he did a handstand, and that's what, swung it for him. Have I made that up? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Doesn't sound real. But you know what? Print the lie, I say. It's a good story. That's why I think you've got to go with the headlines, haven't you? Well, I didn't do a handstand into the doctor's office.
Starting point is 00:23:12 No. But maybe I should have done. The doctor did want to talk to me, though. He said, about how athletic you are. He said, it's the end of my shift. we can have a nice chat. Did he know you?
Starting point is 00:23:22 No. What? He went, it's the end of my shift. We can have a nice chat now. What'd you think about the rise of AI? No. We sat there for about 15, 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Did you say, is that athlete's infection? It's rising all worth my foot, mate. I think it's more serious than you're giving it credit for. Give me some my cotter powder for the love of God. Where's my hair cutter? It was a blue tin with a white, a white top on it. My cotter powder like a metal tin. I don't remember this at all.
Starting point is 00:23:52 And presumably looked like talc, right? Yeah. But it was medicated talc. Yeah, medicated talc. Did you? It takes me back. Talc's, I mean, you know, it's all gone woke now, isn't it? You're not like to talc, haven't they?
Starting point is 00:24:04 They've banned talc. They've banned talc, yeah, yeah. What's happened there? Yeah, you can still get foot powder. Sure, you can still get foot powder. Oh, wow. But you can't get talc in one. Dangerous for the lungs.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah. We did all right by it, didn't we? We turned out fine. We're going to two or three. Dobs of Talc.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Look at us sitting on our tennis balls and going to hospital with athletes' foot. We're saying it absolutely fine. The pictures of health. Living in the shadow of talc this is a documentary.
Starting point is 00:24:33 It's a good documentary, Tom. I can't wait to see it on your YouTube channel. No clue what talcs, what's going on with talc, what was it made of? Dust. But it's not just any old dust, is it?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Well, this is the advert. This is not just any. This is not your grandma's dust. This is good dust. This is smelly dust. Yeah. It smells, it smells nice because it's not like chalk powder either.
Starting point is 00:24:59 What does talc even stand for? I don't think it's, is it an acronym? Talcum. Talcum. Talcum. So it's made of talcum. It's powdered to talcum, I guess, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:09 But crucially, what's talcum? Shh, no, I can ask. Tom, what's talcum? I don't know. Go down the lens. What's Talcom? What's Talcum? Yeah, but I, so you can't get that anymore anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:25 So you could have asked the doctor that when you were having his chat. I know, but he wanted to talk about AI, mate. He wanted to talk about AI. He was very, very interested in... Did he assume you worked in? What do? He said, what do you do? I said, I'm a writer and he said, oh, you know what the next question's going to be? And I said, the usual question is anything I might have heard of.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Right. And he said, no, no, no. What do you think about the rise of AI? So I think whatever the job would have been. Yeah. He would have had... You know what the next question is going to be. Which I'm interested in AI.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah. How was your day, darling? And then the end... Well, you know what the next question's going to be. Fucking hell. What do you think about the rise of AI? He said, so next time you come to the doctors,
Starting point is 00:26:07 which by the way is going to be tomorrow. Because it hasn't cleared up. He didn't realize. He was going to be back quite so soon. But he said, next time you come to the doctors, there'll be... A robot at the door. That's what he said.
Starting point is 00:26:17 That's what he said. He said, next time you come to the doctors, there'll be a choice between me and a robot. What are you going to choose? No. And I was like, well, obviously, I'm not going to say the robot. The insecure. The insecure doctor. No, it's a good doctor.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Well, I mean, hey, every, every occupation is insecure about AI, really. You know, I mean, unless you're like a, I guess unless you're doing something manual that, you know, AI can't replace. Like, podcasting. Like podcasting. Plumbing. Plumbing or podcasting. The two, the two great recession-proof jobs. Good look.
Starting point is 00:26:48 dying this shit, you know what I mean? Yeah. Fucking right. I think, you know, back in the days, like the early days of AI, that's what this sounds like. Before they'd iron out all the kinks. Keep talking about the shadow of top gear. This can't be right. This is very much the podcasting equivalent of those photos, so someone's got seven fingers, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:14 One big red foot. Or a man stroking. Can't be real. He's got a big red foot. Oh, no, no, that'd be real, bro. But he also said to me, he also said to me, he said draw a line on where the red mark is. Draw a line there to check it's not. And if it grows, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I've done that a fair bit in the past. Well, you start the morning by drawing all over your body, don't you? Not on me, on my wife. Oh, do you? Yeah, she gets bitten a lot. And if a bike gets infected. So it's quite an exciting game, actually. Like, you draw around it in Byro, and then we wait to see which direction it's going.
Starting point is 00:27:48 is the invasion spreading? I feel like you're in a bit of a Hollywood blockbuster. Yeah. I was thinking of, do you remember? The thing or some shit. Do you not seen any media whatsoever?
Starting point is 00:28:01 It's like, it's like, it's like, let's draw a pyro around that bite and see if the alien's going to spread, I guess. Yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:12 That's the summer blockbuster right there. You've been bitten by an alien. It's probably fine. We'll just draw a buyer around to be on the safe. It's quite a. slow movie. It's got real third act problems. They're just watching a bi-ro line.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Actually, actually, actually. I was thinking of melancholia. Do you remember that movie, Melancholia, which is about... End of the world? End of the world, yeah. And he's got that little thing where it goes, if the moon gets bigger, it means it's travelling towards the... He's travelling towards the Earth, and he keeps checking it. They draw a biro around. They draw a birole around the moon.
Starting point is 00:28:44 They get loads of all the barros in the world. They tie them all together. And there they are. There's Kirsten Dunst's just trying to draw a barrow around the moon. Woodwatch. Good movie. Where do you stand on this? I wrote on my daughter's banana in Sharpie.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh yeah. My wife put it in the bin. What? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Five stars. Obviously, you shouldn't stand on a banana skin.
Starting point is 00:29:13 A banana skin can stand a shop. Like Mr. Bean. A banana skin can stand a Sharpie, can't it? I'd say so Does she Think that It's gonna poison the banana Possibly
Starting point is 00:29:24 When in the bin Happy with Byrow Draws a line at Sharpie Ironically She drew around the Sharpie with Byro Draws a permanent line at Sharpie What do you feel about drawing on your own skin? I've always felt uncomfortable with it
Starting point is 00:29:42 From a child Because of the shat Like the specter of ink poisoning Yeah you're always told like but ink poisoning and if you have too much who's them
Starting point is 00:29:53 as a machine gun Kelly gone for like an almost all an almost all black tattoo and he did it too fast and it's causing out and stuff that basically what he's done he made his skin yellow which is like how can you tell
Starting point is 00:30:08 yeah you've covered all your skin up what he's done that's my bit that was my big fear as a seven year old yeah with like if you write too much on your yeah Could you do like a blackout tattoo with my body? A pair of my sacks.
Starting point is 00:30:24 There's a lot of revision. It was like the guy of memento, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. Can't fucking find anywhere. Why is Tom smuggled a mirror into his exams? It's top-topless, I can't tell. But that was always a fear. No, I don't even think, I don't think you can get ink poisoning from writing on your skin.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I would say so. I don't know. Try telling them that's a machine gun. I would say that's taken writing on your skin to an extreme level, isn't it? And that's underneath your skin as well, famous. The thing about that, the thing about that, he must have, someone must have said to him, just by yourself a nice breathable jumper. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Why has he gone the whole long, long sleeve? Long sleeve black t-shirt. Long-sleeve black t-shirt. Much cheaper. And the second you're, gives you an option. The second you're bored of it, yeah. Switch it out with a nice, with a nice blue one or a yellow one. or a yellow one or a pink one.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I mean, yeah, this is what people just say about any tattoo. No, no, but he wanted to cover up his previous tattoos, didn't he? Yeah. It wasn't that he was like, I've got to get myself, I can't be bothered with getting dressed. I guess it's, it wasn't like his, he's like, okay, right, well, you know, Steve Jobs famously had the same outfit every day. But he was even having to think about which one of his black roll necks he was going to wear. I'm going to have it tattooed on my body. It would be a funny tattoo to have.
Starting point is 00:31:44 What's that? Of a shirt and tie. it was like the t-shirt shirt and tie with the pocket and a name tag
Starting point is 00:31:58 and the buttons a name tag yeah yeah and the cuffs I think you're like like a manager of a weather spruce
Starting point is 00:32:04 what why are you wearing a suit with a name tag he's got to go for realistic expectations I was thinking about
Starting point is 00:32:11 um Simon Pegg and Sean of the dead I think oh okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:32:16 that's just going to But like, it's a good tattoo, right? I think he made it too cool by making it Simon Peg and Sean of the Dead. It should just be. Oh, no, it should say Tom. I wouldn't say, wouldn't say, Sean, and the Dead. Wouldn't say Simon Pegg and Sean of the Dead. That'd be weird.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Can I tell you, I think that's a better tattoo. I'm going to get the tattoo that just says Simon Pegg and Shore of the Dead. You're a big fan of that movie? No, not especially. It's good. Not really. Sure. Hey, I like it.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Hey, I like it. Just Simon Peg, big fun of... No, not as best. Oh, okay. Hey, I think he's brilliant, but... No, great DJ. He's a fantastic DJ. Not aware of his act of work.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I saw one of his, I didn't like it. I want to be the guy who like, only thinks Damien Lewis is a musician. One of our best saxophonist. Keith of Sutherland, it's like, favourite musician Keith of Sutherland.
