should we, I think that was more or less. Really? James, do you need crisp, clean spaces in between the lines or is it all right if we occasionally run into each other? Is that, I feel...

No, you can overlap. All these tracks are separate. Let's do it loose then, Chris. Not loose completely. Don't fuck about. I know, let's just do it loose. No, not loose in your definition. But just ignore the script, really.

Yeah, but how many times are you going to watch Dune 2? Just once.

Honestly, that is spoken, honestly, that is spoken to somebody that clearly hasn't seen Dune 2. I've seen it in the cinema. I might go back to the cinema, but if not, I'm buying it the minute it's on home release. What, on 4K UHD DVD, Blu-ray? Yeah. it's on home release. What, on 4K UHD DVD, Blu-ray? Yeah, and also, I basically have an IMAX screen for television because I thought I got like a 50. I thought I had a 50-inch telly and I'd round it up.

Yeah. So I rounded it up to 65-inch screen. Yeah. Which is basically Weatherspoon's football grade. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it was like,

it's an industrial pub television that I've got. And my mother-in-law won't turn it on when she's in her house like babysitting because it makes her

feel physically sick. Long story short, there's a lot going on for your attention. So the fact that you have listened to us, it just means an awful lot. Thank you very much.

And if you've enjoyed the show and wanted to go the extra mile, we'd love it if you could pop us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Five stars, five star reviews. Anything below five star review, you can just email it to your local MP and he'll deal with it from there.

We don't need to wear that. Our self-esteem is so fragile. We don't need to wear that. Our self-esteem is so fragile. We don't need to wear it. So five star, you can put a bit of a negative criticism, but as long as it maintains the five star rating. Say what you want, as long as the stars are five.

Say what you want, slag us off. As long as you tick all those five stars and we'll definitely read it. Another thing you could do if you wanted to help us was to just share it, please. Put it in your WhatsApp group, email your friend that you went to uni with 20 years ago and say, listen,

I know we haven't spoken a long time. Yeah. Say what's up first. Say what's up. Ask them if they've heard of a podcast and then say, listen, this is all like, this is all, like this is the defining moment in podcasts.

You know, like every time he's judged in before and after Jesus was alive and dead, this will be like the same with podcasts. It's like everything else before this point was just tuning up. Tell them it's a new frontier in podcasting. It's a couple of lads chatting. Yeah. Tell them it's a new frontier in podcasting. It's a couple of lads chatting. Yeah. Tell them. Yeah.

Tell them that and recommend it to them and say, just say to them, say it really picks up from episode 40 and they'll only be able to find free. Tell them nothing. Look them in the eye, drop them the link. All right. Thanks for listening.

Yeah. That's all right isn't it james yeah there's only 10 minutes long you take the editing out do you do you think maybe for just for luck we record one that's slightly more concise no no i don't think you can no because otherwise we're just lying to him aren't we to what to expect i think you can. No, because otherwise we're just lying to them, aren't we, to what to expect. I think you've been very accurate to what to expect from the episodes.

We begged. We begged. Yep. And we told the meandering stories. It's tough for me. I'm listening to the edit, the previews, and i cannot stay on task like i start so many half sentences and then go off on a tangent don't get me wrong it's all gold but i feel that production wise we could tighten it up that is the edited version that is that's it. That's making the best of it.

I just start telling a story about my wife and everyone at home will be like, what's that? Because I go somewhere else. Something to think about. Yes, it is something for you to think about. Yeah, that's fair. Right, we need to record the second one.

Yep.
