Do they have Chuckie cheese in the UK, or is it like Charles Gouda? Genuinely don't know what a Chucky cheese is. Also, that was great. Is Chuckie a name? Yeah. That's the giant robotic rat that sings you saw him at the restaurant. I think he's literally the king of your country, King Charles. Yeah.

Ah, yes. I only acknowledge Queen Liz. I'm sorry. Yeah. This is a recurring theme. I mean, it makes sense to just sort of pick a moment for the monarchy to not exist anymore. I was just like, yeah. I was like, she did a great job.

They haven't changed them. money yet. So, like, is he really the game? Oh, God. They're going to have to change the money. That sucks. Does this impact America in any way? Yeah, it impacts America in that, like, I have to deal with Twitter talking about it. And he's

Imagine having a man on your money. It's weird. It's just weird. I have terrible news about America money. It's got every day. so many men. Honestly, this was... When we want to put ladies on our money, everybody gets really mad here.

They do. We have had several attempts. Do you not get like special edition monies? No. We do get like special edition. We got one lady on a coin. We get nice coins. But usually it's like birds, not people. Oh.

Yeah. Well, I'm glad that Canada keeps it whimsical. We had Darwin on one some money at some point. He's always on the other side. You all had a lot of the greatest hits of people. Well, I'm, might not call them the greatest hits. You know what I think of what I think of old-time British people?

Definitely the greatest hits if you made it. Like really representing my current values. Yeah. People don't like take to the streets here over like labor issues or anything, but they would if we put Darwin on money. There would be. Oh, that would not go well now. We got some, we got some Darwin issues still.

It's not great. The turtle? guy? Yeah. The turtle guy? I think that's a good thing called. I think that's John Green, actually. Yeah.

We have not tried to put John on the money yet, but we'll see what happens. So do we have a tiebreaker or what? Is there like a, no. No. No. There's absolutely not. Duboki made a tiebreaker? Yeah, we prepared.

Yeah, we prepared. don't at this point. We've got to ask the science got to question. Okay. I'm sorry, Sam. All right, losers. We get in the boat. We've got to keep making this podcast.

Unfortunately, I've lost the show. Someone's ride is here. Okay. I can read. Sorry, Jess. Wow. Well, I didn't know that.

Do you know what alarm pheromone I release when I sting people? You sting people? Yeah. I don't even know what joke you could be trying to make. I don't know. I sort of lead out over the edge with this one. I'm not sure myself. We're getting dangerously close to, like, minion farts,

and I don't want to think about that in context of my friend. Well, you know, sometimes you fart in a minion comes out. That's concerning you should go to a doctor. What do you think about the minion movie to a home? No, I thought we were just, I thought maybe we could just, no, it's fine. I think the minion movie. You've been a movie fan, man. I am.

I think the first minion movie is. is fantastic. I think it's an incredible exercise in physical comedy and animation form. Everyone should go watch it. That's the first minion movie. Not the rise of group. The origin of the minions, where they take over England. Yes. And also they make it extremely explicitly clear that they had no part in World War II, which I find so funny. They also make it extremely clear that the moon landing was fake. Yes. I just want everybody to know that the moon landing was real and the minions do not have a dog in the time. Hank, do you know there's a whole movie coming out

about how the moon landing's fake? I don't love that. We got to get out ahead of it. Oh, is it flying me to the moon? Yeah. Oh, is it about the moon? I thought it was just like they did a backup recording. Oh, no.

Well, yeah. In case they died on the moon. That's the case, which, you know, that seems harmful as well, right? Did they do that? I don't know. No. I don't know. I thought it was about the song.

I thought it was like, you know, like they do biopics of, um, of, uh, like songs, song people. Oh, like yesterday. And about how the Beatles didn't actually exist. Did you know that's actually where I, where I listened to the Beatles for the first time, was in that movie? This is the biggest lie you've ever told. It's not.

It's a lie. You've heard the Beatles. I listened to. Okay, but consciously, I listened to the songs for the first time and went, I went, oh, yes, these are nice songs. The movie doesn't work if you had never heard the Beatles before. Or it doesn't work extra well. Yeah, I'm like in the world, you know?

I'm like really with the characters. Like, I don't know about the Beatles. This guy's really got it going on. Yeah. Is that movie the one where they're going to, or they want to go to Antarctica to, like, test out flat earth stuff? Oh, that's, sorry, the moon. I was thinking conspiracies because you mentioned that,

and I was thinking about the flat earth anyways, there's something coming out where they want to go to Antarctica to try to prove flat earth. I should probably make a documentary film where I come out as a flat earther. Why? I think it's sort of like a... Have you considered he wants some views?

It would be very lucrative, that's why. Yeah, I'm just, I'm trying to like figure out where my brand goes next. He needs to plan his YouTube. retirement. Yeah. What are the words I can say in what order where it just crashes everything to the ground?

But it also simultaneously makes you enough money that you never have to worry about it ever again. I honestly don't think the flat-earthers are doing that well. I don't think there's a ton of money in it. I think there's enough to keep at it for a few of them, but I'd rather be in my business. Thank you.

Thank you.
