Pappy's Flatshare - Series 6, Episode 5 (Wash The Car)

Episode Date: May 1, 2016

Liam Williams and Barry From Watford are present and occasionally correct as the teams battle over who has to wash the car. In the ensuing scramble we learn a lot about some famous Bens, encounter a n...ovel take on two famous novels and try to help a junior doctor who may or may not be breaking the hippocratic oath. We'd love it if you'd help us bring Flatshare Slamdown to the masses, one sector of society at a time. Accordingly, this episode would be a good one to play on loudspeakers through the windows of any novellists, junior doctors or people called Ben you know. Thanks! Hosted on Acast.

One team has one point to that team is Ben and Barry. Ben and Barry of the scores. One team has one point and that team is Ben and Barry. Ben and Barry have one point. Now, so Ben and Barry are creeping out ahead like a Citroen saxo,
Starting point is 00:20:30 but there's still everything to play for. As we make a handbrake turn into round two, it's flat games. Yay! Let's play together. Gaze! Let's play forever. Roll the dice, spin that thing. Put that down.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Who is your toll? Gaze! Let's play forever, roll the dice, spin that thing, put that down Who is your toll? Games, if you lose you get nothing Games, if you win you get gold, gold, gold, gold Listen to that BBC 3, the youth run board That's the sound coming from the streets! That's the sound of an online sensation! That, my friends, is a hashtag. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:21:16 So this week in Black Games, it's pronounced gold. This week we'll play in a version of Pictionary, which we are calling Fictionary. I'm going to give each team a scenario from my heart. I wish it was Dictionary. Oh no, that's not true. That's a word. I mean, go on. I'm so happy. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I tell you what, I'm literally citing a book about words. I'm up for playing it, though, Tom. Basically, I'm going to give you a word beginning with B. You get 20 questions to find out. Here's how we actually play. I'm going to give each of you a scenario from a famous work of fiction, and you have to play that out. But there is a twist.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Every line of the scene must start with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. So I'm going to give points for literary integrity, drama, performance and knowledge of your ABCs. So we're going to start with Tom and Liam. One of you must kick off the scene with a line beginning with a letter A and the other must respond with a line beginning with B and C and so on. All clear? Absolutely. Oh! Happy you started already. Okay, now your scene is from the Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Popular book and film The Lord of the Rings, and it's the scene where Gandalf tells Frodo that he has to take the ring out of the shire. Now, do you want to give you up the part? Who do you think is going to be Gandalf and who's going to be Frodo there? If we're going on a height, then I'm Gandalf. If we're going on a height, then I'm Gandalf. If we're going on wisdom.
Starting point is 00:22:45 LAUGHTER And Tom is Gandalf, yes. You say you're saying you know what a dictionary is. I do think you've got a wise hold. Gandalf. I think I could do Gandalf voices. Yeah, and you've got the beard. You've got the beard. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:03 It's not a compliment, but it's literally a fact. You probably have a beard. Right, so your Gandalf, your son. Your son is from Lord of the Rings and it's Gandalf telling Frodo to take the ring out of the shire off you go. Hello. Blind me! Your wise. Blimey! You're wise! Kukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukuk as a joys.

Starting point is 00:27:27 now I've had enough of this okay fair enough, lovely and Clarky you were slightly cheating there weren't you because Brian and Pregidis is your favorite book and you're always quoting that line no do you know what I'll give it a swerve you're always quoting yeah it's do you know what I'll give it a swirl? You're always quoting, yeah. It's a classic line. That was absolutely wonderful. I'm gonna give Ben a 10 points, but I'm gonna give Barry 15 points now. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Wow. So, Pajuita, I could have listened to that all day. Oh, should we have a bit more? No. Okay. Pajuita, Ben, what are the scores? Oh, top of the name, we've got 26, but Barry and Ben have got 26 and a half! Yes! Very, very, very close. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Starting point is 00:28:40 Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See out for details. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See out for details. Now we turn from the letters of the alphabet to the letter of the law as we play Beat Brothers. Whoa! You've got a problem, I'm calling a problem,
Starting point is 00:28:53 If you've got a problem call it a beat. If you've got a beat, maybe we can help you beat from the zoning I can beat. Yes, it's Beat Brothers, where each week we ask how to... We should release a single. We should release that as a single. People love that tune. Not a day goes by when people don't come up to me in the spoons and say, that is a great song. It's true actually, we are always getting bothered by people in the spoons. That is a great song, but could you please stop singing it or at least buy something? So it is beef brothers this and each month we ask our panelists to sort out a flat-shared based beef and this one comes from Matt who is in the audience.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Matt, are you there? Oh! Matt writes, my flatmate loves her job. It's all she talks about. She's obsessed with it. I don't care. I don't listen. I now try and avoid asking her how her day was just so I don't have to listen to her. We both do the same job.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Whoa! That is a great twist in the tail at the end of that there, Matt. Rugg Paul. That's an absolute Rugg Paul. Now Tom, is it Matt Knight Shiawala? Am I right? Absolutely right, yes, yeah, it's great to hear about him again. This podcast is set in 2006. So Tom and Liam, you're actually on Matt's side, you're on the side of Matt, and Ben and Barry, you're on the side of the flatmate who loves her job so much, but before we begin, like the good people at Citroen before they allow the
Starting point is 00:30:26 Saxo to roll out a four-course of auto-dinoships around the world, let's have a thorough examination. Any questions for Matt? What's the job? Junior Doctor. Very topical. Very topical. So you both keep your turn up. Bloody strike, mate. Yeah. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Come on, finger on the pull for the nation. Yeah, you're a very popular anti-doctor angle. Everyone seems to be into these days. Yeah, it does, mate. Give out your jobs and stuff. And my next one is, can I ask? Can I ask? Yes. How are you? Yes, are you with the
Starting point is 00:31:07 farm? A house special, sort of thing. Yeah, I walk in the hospital, yeah, that's right. No, just try and listen. Who are they letting in through medical school? I'm not letting anybody, apparently anybody. Try and listen, put the black card down with two minutes. Move a teapot to the left, everyone goes on strike. No, the point is, are you in the same hospital as your flatmate? Oh, we are in the same hospital, yes. Would you like to reveal the name of that hospital? I probably shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Go on then. But it's somewhere north, somewhere... Away. ...to the field hospital. Correct. How many hours a week do you work? Two, mate. Nor. It is somewhere... Away. She feels hospital. Shit. Correct. How many hours a week do you work? Two many.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I'm trying... I'm going to be your depends lawyer in the room. You're on your side, mate. Is this why the negotiations with... Still, I'm thinking about. I mean, I could go into it, but I don't think that's very funny. Well, just to see how many hours. So, 50 to 60. That's a lot. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:07 That's a lot. So you come home after a long shift, and then she just bangs on about it all the time. Yes. And how much detail? Like gross detail? Like, she tells me. She tells me all about her patients,
Starting point is 00:32:18 everything that she's done, or the deep thing her supervisor's done, and I just don't care. Mac, can I ask you, though, like from from doctors to doctor does that break the hypocritical if you're talking about it? Because it could actually be a genuine legal situation we're in here brilliant I'm sorry. This is what I've trained for exactly Five years in the making this is basically doing doing a podcast a bit like going to law school. So now officially you are a trained lawyer.
Starting point is 00:32:51 So talk us through, you sat there, you want to watch like a box set or something? I just want to make dinner, but she's there just jabbering on about people dying. I'm just like, I just want to roast some potatoes. Did she try it? Did she try to make dinner with a scalpel? Like that. Did she try and bring the work home? Oh no, she's not a surgeon.
Starting point is 00:33:10 She's a house character, so she's standing there. Like, how's that? Wow. We're into the politics of doctors here. She's not a surgeon. What's a house character? Oh, a cute, lowie guy. He stands there and he's all clever.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh, so he's got like no-o. There's ticks and stuff. She's got like a limp. They come, they come, they come to her with problems and she has to sort it out. That's what doctors are. So that's what doctors are. What is addiction-ry?
Starting point is 00:33:40 We are learning tonight. Tonight's podcast is brought to you by the letter D. Three days. Marry any questions? My question to you is, does she have a fellow or maybe she's trying to get into it with you talk about important things? It's not a talk about a word. You're the one she wants to share things, it's a big thing for me. So there were two points to that. Number one, she has a boyfriend with whom she will be moving in with. Number two, I'm gay. Okay, and she knows that. She knows that, and yet still she jabbers on a bad day.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I'm already told you, I don't want to hear about your work, I'm gay. All right? How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not gay, you are gay. I believe I have to tell you? I'm not in gay, you're in gay. I believe that's enough information. So let's call upon Liam Williams. Now remember Liam, you're on mat side. You have one minute to begin the case for the prosecution and your minute begins now. We all know the intense and immense pressure that our junior doctors are under. And I assume most of us are... Is it...
Starting point is 00:34:44 Is it supposed to be a comedy thing, right? No, you could do it. It's a bit late in the day, it's done. Yeah, changing the nature of the podcast, I tell you. I'm trying to move in a new direction as an artist, and this is a good... This is great. It's a safe space for you to work your part in.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Unless you're Tom and Ben. We see a certain presentation of them in the media and government rhetoric suggest that they're grasping desperate characters who should respect that they've got a job to do and shut up and put up. But we see in Matt's case clear evidence of the way that work always leaks into one's home life. His housemate comes home, he comes home, and somehow there's not enough pastoral care, there's not enough kind of psychological comfort provided during the
Starting point is 00:35:31 working week for them to deal with the immensely difficult things they must see. There's no escape from it, so not only do they have to work 50, 60 hours a week, they have to come home, try and cook a bit of dinner and still somehow psychologically they're confronted with these hardships and these o'r gweithio'r gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn gweithio yn Let them out. Oh nice. Very moving. Very moving. Well, I mean, obviously the courtroom is no place for sentiment, but that was extremely moving. And it's not gone unnoticed. Barry, your minute begins now. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you sat here tonight. Not laugh very much, but you've listened very simply.
Starting point is 00:36:25 To Matt. Now Matt spoke very eloquently, rather loudly if we're honest, but why are you looking at me? About the pressures of a doctor working in, let's call it a hospital north of here. He was unspecific about what he did, but what he did do was bemoan the lot of the junior doctor. He talked about his flatmate, someone who old phone, you know, presumably after someone uproar, something like that. But I got three words for you you kindly bedside Yeah, I can't remember
Starting point is 00:37:17 Manor kindly bedside manner five seconds and I'm telling you that this fella wants to remember the manner In which he speaks to people Very good max let's throw back over to you. How do you think it's going so far? Well I think I have a reasonable bedside banner. Okay so time are you quite straight to the point as a doctor? My kind of doctor just goes it's this babam babam, babam, you're dying. Hella, you're not. It's all you want. I would get airy-fairy stuff. Hemorrhoids. Yeah. Oh, you're these.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Wait, sorry. Can I just ask, who's the airy-fairy doctor in that? No, no, no, no, airy-fairy stuff. He just says hemorrhoid that makes the sound of an explosion. So Tom, you're going to conclude the case for the prosecution. So you'll be started by Liam. Yes. But are you going to be doing it as yourself? No, I'm going to do it in the style of a Southern defence lawyer from a John Grisham novel, okay? Mr. Fanchor Stanton. Mr. Fanchor Stanton, presiding. And indeed providing. Your minute begins. Ladies and gentlemen, after chewy.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Hell, I'm looking at some of you now. You heard some big words there today. New fellas over there, we've dared jog in medicine. Plasters! Inside. We round here, we be simple folk. We're not concerned with dad dad know their hospital talk Junior doctor
Starting point is 00:38:52 Apple doctor, that's what we want Hey walking their little child big shoes And a little blank I'm sorry And a little blank. I'm sorry. Round, then we're gonna get this spatula, but... What? Point is round here. We be hardworking for.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Okay, right now. Yeah. I've seen you there from the bakery day. Johnny Shushack. I ironically works in the butcher's. Let me tell you a little story there. Now, man, couldn't his hair. Could it so short?
Starting point is 00:39:29 Couldn't see his hair really well. Strange fella. When they talk to him about this, man through his head, said, what'd you do for a living? He said, I'm not gonna boy with that. Now I like this style. You know what I'm talking about. No further questions.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Oh my God. Well, that was something else there. I didn't say much. It's a factual right. Tonight. I mean, he's always saying very close to a breakdown, but I think he may have gone mad days to say. On man overboard.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Yeah. So to conclude the case for the fence, Ben, your minute begins now. Now, yes, that's what I said. I'd be the first to say, I don't have a huge amount of experience in this particular field. And by that, I I mean having a job. Or for that matter, doctors. But from what I understand, it is a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And you would want to tell all your friends about it. My main frame of reference there is mainly the TV show Scrubs. It looks like a laugh a minute. Of course, you're going to come home and tell your flatmate about your funny boss, who's cranky, and then the other one who's funny because he does... I'm sure you're thinking about it do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it.

Starting point is 00:41:33 Clarke, you're like a human E4. Very exciting. Yeah, that's what I do in my days. Yeah. So sadly, I'm too preoccupied with my own turbulent personal life to make a decision, so tonight that honour is going to go to our Phoenix audience So if you think that Liam and Fan Shaw and therefore Matt is in the right, applaud now Alright, okay, well if you think that Ben and Barry and therefore Matt's flatmate is in the right applaud now
Starting point is 00:42:03 in the Ben and Barry and therefore Matt's flatmate is in the right, applaud now. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Not even a bright one! Oh! This is like a... This is like the people versus objects. Oh my god. It really was, wasn't it?
