Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, welcome back to another episode of the Trash Taste Podcast. I'm your host for today, Joey. You're committing. You're committing to the sunglasses. And next to me is this gay Lord Chris Brow. What the? You f***. I've just come, I'm jet-lagged.
Starting point is 00:00:13 I come all the way from England for this. This is how I get treated. Unbelievable. Yeah, you've been on the show in our time. A new style change for you. I didn't win the most drip award last year, wherever it was. I think Pete won it. I want it.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Did Pete win it? Somebody won it. I don't remember who won it. It might have been your dad. You might have been your dad. I don't think he was a win. Anyone that gets that war that isn't me, I'm coming for them.
Starting point is 00:00:36 I think one, P won best gigacad or whatever. What would I win? Nothing. Nothing. Biggest clown or something. It's good to be back. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Welcome back. It's been over a year, I think, since you were on last. I think the last time I was on here was, it was the after dark special laugh-a-thon. I don't know what it was. Laugh.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Laugh you lose. Yeah. Yeah, well, we got the champagne out. Celebrate. All right. I'll do it. I go. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Once again, every time, every fucking time. Cheers, boys. Cheers. Sweat it off the table. It's not that nice. This is the 2000 yen brute. This is not Moe-Moy Chandon. You had Moe-A-Sand-on.
Starting point is 00:01:18 But I thought spending more money on Chris. Just normal Shand-on- You can't pour it anyway, mate. It doesn't matter. What is that? I spilled bubbles and liquid. It's an ice cream. Well, you brought your own drinks.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Did you not? I did. some strong zero. Only the finest drinks for the strong zero. You have the gall to judge my taste in charge. We got to do something.
Starting point is 00:01:39 The good old Guyjin killer. Yes. Oh my God. I mean, I literally just like arrived on a plane. Can't. And they were like, you just sort of, what is this?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Wait, when did you land yesterday? Oh, yes, yeah. Oh, fuck. No, he did not land yesterday. I went, okay. So Chris landed, and then he goes to the British pub. We did get to a British pub.
Starting point is 00:01:59 And then. Two days later, he meets me again for another meal at the British pub. Didn't you just come from England? He just came from England. He had a roast dinner. I wanted the roast dinner. But after that, I was like, let's get a trash taste. But the roast dinner was excellent, I must say.
Starting point is 00:02:14 But not, what is this? What's the rest of it? Okay, fine, I'll give you more. Yes. I'll give him more. I thought we were cheering now. Cheering? Yay!
Starting point is 00:02:23 Oh, you, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's good. It's perfect. I'm a talented for a word. The price. The Pride. Cheers, gentlemen. Cheers. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:02:33 It's been, how long since you've been back on? Ages. A little before a year, a little after a year. You don't believe.
Starting point is 00:02:40 You don't let me on these days. And one of the main reasons that I wanted Chris to come on today is it we're doing another cycle phone. And it's obviously, it's been announced by now, it's been announced. But it's happening in like two,
Starting point is 00:02:51 two days from now, I think. No, I think it's tomorrow, isn't it? Oh, tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, tomorrow. Tomorrow is of this episode coming out. We're going to be on those bikes again for two weeks straight.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Crack out your hammock, Joey, and let's go. And Joey's joining this time. Oh, shit. I'm not. Oh, shit. Also an awkward moment on the last one why I rang you up or something. Yeah, awkward for you. Joey never answers his phone.
Starting point is 00:03:18 So I rang him. And he's like, oh, yeah, with my family, what are you doing, mate? Yeah, I'm on the bike in it. What he did is, oh, I'm hanging. I was hanging out with my family. My family, what do you fucking want? I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, because you've gone on the tire road, like 30 minutes being like,
Starting point is 00:03:31 Joey never calls me, Jerry never picks up. And then he picked up. And then I picked up and said, oh, I had to pick up because Chris never calls me. I'm on a fucking hammock. I should have just hung up and I, we didn't answer. So, um, so question, guys. Since, uh, how many cyclones has been?
Starting point is 00:03:49 This could be number five. Number five. Wow. So, uh, how many, how many psychathons you got left in, uh, Japan? I don't know. When's, when's the China one? That's that. That's what I want to know.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Wall to wall. Yeah, wall to wall, China. Come on, Ludwig just announced Tip to Tip in China, you know. Yeah, yeah. A couple episodes will be out by now. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I don't know. I mean, I think we want to do everything in Japan. It's just easy in Japan as well. But also, there's so much more to see. And I think that we've got this time is going to be really good fun. Yeah. You're really excited for it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And we're also ending in Osaka this time, not Tokyo. So where are you starting? Mutsu. Do you know, like, if you look at a map of Japan, you've got Almori, and there's like an axe that comes out the top. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Northern tip of that, and that's where the most expensive tuna in the world comes from. Dang.
Starting point is 00:04:40 We're going to eat tuna. Well, you told me, you're like, it's actually not that good, because they send all the good ones to Tokyo. Yeah, he looks supposed to let anyone know that. That's what they say. That's true, they do ship all the good, because that was where the $3 million tuna comes from, right? Oh, the stitches on my one?
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah, the tuna king, Kiyosci Kimura, gets his tuna every year from there. And it's mental. I love his... Surely just like the... The drugs. Yeah, the dregs are probably much better than like a... You know, where else you'd get. No, we should try. We should go.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I love his interviews, by the way, because he's the most incomprehensible man I've ever heard. Like, Japanese man. He's eating too much tuna, in it? It's like he sounds like he smokes like 50 packs at six a day. Like, it's crazy on the Japanese fare. He's just... That's what he sounds like.
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's what he sounds like. I love that every entrance of sushi zama. He's there with his hands. Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah. And then there's a photo
Starting point is 00:05:30 with him surrounded by 200 women. Yeah. Every time that's like a other guy inside. Because he's
Starting point is 00:05:36 always, he pulls. He pulls. The sushi's on my. Yeah, he's a tuna king. He's there. Something fishy going on.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah. But we're going along the sea of Japan. Oh, nice. We go across top of Al-Mori down the sea of Japan. Follow the original
Starting point is 00:05:51 journey across Japan route a bit, Lake Bwer and then to Osaka. We're going past Japan's biggest oil reserves where they're going to unleash them,
Starting point is 00:05:58 since, because of World War III. Because in Mutsu, where we start, day two. It's not, because it's in the news in the moment, in it,
Starting point is 00:06:06 contemporary, but what's everything, we're not going to fucking go in there and have a look and be like, go on, and show us. Oh, but I'm not, knock on.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Like a cheeky bit of oil. How much you got left? So, like, Japan's, as the world's third biggest oil reserves, and much of it is near day two where we go past that strip.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So if you want some oil, get in there. Job done, that. Why are you Googling oil reserves? Like we could, what are we going to do with that information? Yeah, you should definitely do that.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Just knock on their door and be like, give me that. Can I have a bit of oil? There's a really beautiful place that we may or may not go to called Osorizam, which is a temple that's supposed to be like the gateway to hell. Literally scary mountain. Yeah. And it's absolutely stunning. It's a temple in a Cadula, a Caldera.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Cordora. Codora. in a Volocano. And it's the Caldera and the temple all around it is just smoldering gas. I did a video there once. I was like,
Starting point is 00:07:03 it smells a bit eggy. And then the tour, I had to show the temple the footage of this video. And they went, you can't use that. You can't use that. I couldn't use the footage
Starting point is 00:07:12 of this amazing temple. So when I was like, oh, it smells like a bag of eggs or something. It wasn't even crude. I was telling objective reality the way it is. And they were like, get out.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And they didn't let me use the video. It literally smells like eggs, though. Because it's sulfur, yeah. I mean, you get used to it. But I get, like, it's a place of religion and you can't be like, smells off shit. Why can't religious places smell like eggs? I like eggs. It's a compliment.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It's not rotten eggs, though, right? Well, I mean, I like eggs. I think I could have convinced them. I just didn't push hard on the side. I don't think I was doing it in a disparaging manner, either, but anyway, we'll go there, hopefully. Just don't mention the eggy smell of salt. Yeah, just say it smells.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Do you need permission to go there? or film there. No, no. You turn up and film, isn't it? Okay, okay. Well, I guess maybe if you're filming with film. It's always tricky with permission, right? If you, it's kind of a game of, you know, chicken, because if you get permission,
Starting point is 00:08:03 and egg. A chicken and egg. A chicken and egg, right. Because, you know, you, sometimes, you can rock up and everyone's totally cool with the filming. And sometimes if you ask, they say no, and then... Whereas if you didn't ask, they would have been all right with it. Yeah, it's kind of weird, isn't it? Rule of some in Japan, don't ask for permission, but don't do anything bad.
Starting point is 00:08:22 bad. Don't film other customers. Don't be a nuisance. Yeah. Yeah. Put out the video. And what what's often happens for me is they'll go, oh my God, thanks for showing our restaurant slash business. Yeah. And if you ask permission, they go, no, yeah, we don't like money actually. So it's a sort of awkward situation. Yeah. It's always interesting. The Japanese TV, whenever you watch like, you are, Nani or, you know. Why you come to Japan? Yeah. They always just rock up to the restaurant with the whole film crew. Yeah. Well, because all they have to do is say, we're Japanese TV and they're like, all right. Yeah, it is frustrating. Film my wife's childbirth.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Go ahead. Yes. They'll let you film anything. Yeah, they'll let you film anything if you see Japanese TV. I, um, to get fit for the cycle today, I did one press up. And then I pulled my back muscle.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And then I went, one press up. One press up. And then I felt like, and I was like, is that all you've done for the cycle? Okay, first of all, what does the push up help with the cycling? You fucking help,
Starting point is 00:09:13 you're pushing forward on your upper body for like two weeks. Right? The strain on your arms is phenomenal. I've also not cycle. at all. I've not cycled. I didn't know you were that top heavy. Apparently, you have to like, according to you, all of your body weight is on your wrist. My arms weren't built for a man in my carriage. That's what I've discovered. It was pretty worrying.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I was like, goddamn, bro. While I was in the UK, I did start jogging. And I lost a bit of weight, but I can't depress up. And hopefully I can cycle a bike. No, you should be all right. We always manage. We always manage. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm fitter this year than I was last year. Yeah, you did absolutely negative last year. Yeah. Before you even showed up. You didn't do anything. Nah. You always get it done. So, somehow. Somehow, you just get it done.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Somehow. The body's just conditioned, you know. I just have to hope the guests are worse than me and then I don't look bad. And there's lots of guests, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a... Are you saying who's coming? Yeah, I mean, I think I've announced it by now. We have, Jay Schlatt's coming on. He's going to cycle for two days. That's exciting. I hope he sings his Christmas album.
Starting point is 00:10:17 We're going to give him to sing. And then Gant's coming on again. Yeah. Rob's coming on and Felix's coming on again. So we've got one more guest than previously. And Pete. No Pete? And Pete. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:26 he's not even a guest. He's part of the show. Forget the bigger chance. No, he's part of it. He has to come. He's the cheerleader. He gets,
Starting point is 00:10:34 who blows out his throat. Let's get one million. Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. So more guests than ever, it's going to be a lot of fun. Is it the longest journey we've ever done? Yeah, I believe so by like a tiny amount.
Starting point is 00:10:50 How many days is it this time? It's 15 again, so similar to last time. Okay. So very, very, oh, nice. Nah, no. Very, very similar in terms of, like, the duration to the last one. But just, I think, maybe a bit more exciting route. I think last time we had a really cool route in Hokkaido.
Starting point is 00:11:08 That was really fun. But then kind of going through the east side of, the North Japan was a bit tough. Yeah, it just became on a main road for like seven days. I mean, you were there for, like, the good bit, I would say. Because it was a nice Italian restaurant. Yeah, I did. Only two days we saw cherry blossoms. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah. Okay. And you got the, oh, you got the best restaurant. Italian one, yeah. The Italian one. Oh, the Hella and pizza and dessert. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I know you guys are raving on about this restaurant for a while. You told her about domestic girlfriend. Oh, that's right. Wasn't it? Some sort of horrific anime. Huh? It was some sort of horrific. We're not doing this again.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Yes, actually. Yes. It was a rift. But I remember just sitting. sitting down and I just, you know, it was my first day of the cycle. I just order a normal sized meal and both of these guys order two maids. A simple meal. Yeah, just a simple meal. You know, I'm not, I'm not there to lose weight. I'm just in great shape and we eat a lot of food. Yeah, I had like a single pizza to myself or something and they both ordered like,
Starting point is 00:12:11 amateur, yeah, they both ordered like a full pizza and pasta and like dessert on top. I look so ragged there. What the fuck have you done? Bad news, bad news. You look ragged on the days. The camera adds horrible face effects. But Gantam was in prime form. Yeah, you don't see anyone that looks good. You were so rough in this clip.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I look like a fucking strawberry. Well, I remember this was pretty rough because I think a lot of the Hokkaida days are quite rough. They were very windy, very miserable weather. So hopefully we get better like this time. Well, it's also after you've demolished this meal that you just described. Yeah, I'm happily on my...
Starting point is 00:12:49 my cheesecake at this point. Yeah. I'm full. And the cheesecake as well. What I have to. Because for me, it's like the best part about traveling across Japan is, uh, do you get to eat all this food? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:01 We get to try so many cool foods. And like, you know, I remember certainly the, uh, the sushi place that we started off in Nemiro, like edge of the world, middle of nowhere. And they've got just the most insane like Kaitan sushi restaurant. Oh, yeah, yeah. Where the, like, the tuna is like 200 yen for a, it's literally, literally the size of your hand. I think, did you go to the same one we went to in Journey Across Japan?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Yeah, that one is... So good. So good. So good. So good. So, fucking good. Take it so good. I don't know. I have not been there.
Starting point is 00:13:30 It was very good. And that part, Hokkaido feels like the edge of the world, right? Yeah. You can see the islands of Russia nearby, the Curial Islands, formerly Japanese. Russia? Oh, Russia's island? Oh, yeah. You feel like you're on the edge of the world in a way that he's kind of epic.
Starting point is 00:13:46 And I'm... Kind of epic. Kind of epic. It's so cool. It was really awesome. I really enjoy it. But I'm excited to do it again. It's definitely the highlight of my year.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And the healthiest I am all year. Getting out to hang out with me. Getting out of me. Getting out of me. The highlight of your year. I like the banter. As much as I give you shit, I like, I like hanging out with you. That's good to him.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Damn, after how many years? I like hanging out. How many years it comes out? Maybe you're all right. After all. You're not so bad. You are white boy. What a muffin.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Honestly. But obviously, congrats on getting married as well. Yeah. Congrats. Oh, look at the ring. Marriage gang. Let's Joe. Yeah, last year was really stressful, doing everything.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And the wedding was obviously quite scary. And having so many people at one place is a scary thing. But it went really well. My favorite moment was when my dad brought Shala down the aisle. And I was like standing at the front. I was like that. And then made, like, a celebrant at the front. A woman called Helm, and she sort of did the whole ceremony.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And my dad brought Charlotte, sort of delivered her to the front of the room. And she went, oh, Richard, wasn't that magical? How do you feel? And just went, oh, that's right, isn't it? As if he'd just been given his favourite pastor. And it was just like, and then apparently I wasn't there for this bit, but the first, you know, the first look where the, you know, whoever was showing the bride down the aisle looks at the bride.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yes. And then my dad walked in and, like, you know, Shala was there with the bride's man. And then what do you think, Richard? He was like, oh, it's good, isn't it? Yeah. Just so, that's bloody, that's bloody. It was really fun meeting your mom and dad, because I finally felt like I got to understand the pieces that it made.
Starting point is 00:15:34 You saw the DNA. Yeah, it was really interesting. What did you discover? What did you want? It's like meeting Hitler's parents. I'm kidding. Because your mom is so. The circular vehicle.
Starting point is 00:15:49 You don't know what to expect, right? When you meet someone's parents, you've no idea, you know. But then, like, so many things I felt like made sense. Because your dad is like, so much of you is from your dad. But your mom is so chatty too. And your dad doesn't talk that much. But you definitely get a little bit more of the shatty part from your mom. She's so energetic.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And your dad was like, yeah. Oh, fine, it. It's good. Do you know, Natasky, like, forgot to bring a shirt to the wedding? Yes, I know. It's like somebody to go off, get him a shirt in the morning. He's like, do I need a clothes? He actually in your fucking clothes.
Starting point is 00:16:21 He brought three suitcases and no shirts. What the fuck? What a bellow. And Reotreuxo wore like a samurai outfit. That was cool. Kimone. That's okay. Joey forgot to bring shoes to my wedding.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah. Forgot shoes. I forgot dress shoes. What the fuck? I wore Vesies. He wore Vessis. The greatest ad. Sponsored segment of it.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah. No, we'll chill out for Visi any day. I was impressed. Now that you've made it public, I was impressed to find out your dad's law in a being on robot wars. We never talk about that. We did talk about it. You've definitely spoke about it publicly.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Somewhere. Do we talk about it? Maybe we're like a trash taste, though? We've definitely talked about it. I talked about it and I made fun of you because I was like, I did a video on it recently. I talked about how the BBC fucked me, basically. They took, on Robot Wars, we built like a robot out of like duct tape and dreams. And it costs like 500 quid.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And on the show, Robot Wars, always working class. and build these robots. It takes years, and they battle them out. Yeah. And the BBC built like five indestructible robots, each one costing like a million pounds, built out of like titanium Kevlar and fucking lasers.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah. And like, you know, my dad's like battling it out with his fucking dust bin lid with a pickax on. And then BBC's Sir Kill a Lot, who's a fucking robot, who's like in the Epstein files or something. Ser fucking killer lot.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Gold over, picked up my dad's robot, just raced over a flame like a chicken. Jesus. I'm like, for fucking BBC, I'll show you. And I've got a photo God just comes up. I'll get back at the BBC. Sir he was way overpowered.
Starting point is 00:17:57 When you were a kid, it was so boring when he came out. Because he just always won. Navi, can you search up Sir Killal Lots? He also looks fucking sick, though. He does this is like the biggest TV show in the UK for like four or five years. Yeah, this was like my... They did reruns in Australia. We even bored, Connor.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I watched John. When I went on it, you would have been like... Oh, I do remember this guy. Do you know this? Yes. I do. Yeah, because they used to show reruns on Australian TV, and I do remember this guy. It's like a reused Terminator. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:24 They found the remains. It's like an actual like transformer. The T1. Yeah, the T1. Oh, yeah. Look at that thing. Holy fuck. Mr. Psycho.

It feels cold to the touch. The only man who's ever touched him. Damn. I'm only going to smash it up now afterwards. It's into my dad's robot.
Starting point is 00:19:47 You should see it, Jay, my inheritance went up in flames from national television. It was shit. 75 kilograms. That's like me. No, I think it was like 700, 50 kilograms, yeah. Hold on. Sorry, I said the weight of it. Yeah, go down.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I thought it was 150, you know. My dad's robot was 70 kilograms. That was 700 kilograms. It must know. That's unfair. There's got to be some weight class stuff going on here. Well, no, the whole point of them were they, they were the house robots, you know, they were meant to be over that.
Starting point is 00:20:14 But then when they were they, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, come on the other side here, Chris. Did you figure out eventually, it was like some, like the flipper one's always one. Like if it could just flip. Yeah, yeah. Like all things, like the inshittification of Robot Wars. Once somebody discovered, oh, just have a flipper robot then. And it just basically flipped robots.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And we, there was a robot called Big Wheely Cheese. It looked delicious, dare I'd say. It's a big fucking robot, it looked like a wedge of cheese. Yeah. It rolled up to our robot, flipped it through the air, like 50 feet. I actually remember this episode. We're on the front cover of Robot Wars magazine. my dad's robot killer was like, flipping rubbish.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And my dad was like, Oh, get you know, a robot. Such a resentful childhood. Because the goat of robot wars for so long was chaos two, if I remember correctly. Was that the one that was like the thing? Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Oh, my God, you know all the war. BBC. This is why you wanted to work at the BBC. The big three of robot wars at the top was chaos two. Number two was hypnodisc. Hypnodisc was so much fun. It was a disc that just spun really fast.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Christopher Broad. Christopher Broad right there. Kilotron. There I am. There's my dad's friend. How did you come up with the name Killetron? I don't know. Is that the big cheese there?
Starting point is 00:21:31 What is that then? That's just some piece of shit. What is that? I don't know. Some of the robots were good. There was one called like Shogun, which looked like a racist, a racist samurai robot thing.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I was seriously But like Okay, let's have a look at the footage Let's see you won this fight So we're showing a patrons Not patrons, audio listeners We're showing Yeah skip ahead
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah, skip ahead Yeah There's there I am down there Oh, there you go back No, no, no, it's good. All right, okay There I'm, look down the bottom of right Oh my God
Starting point is 00:22:04 Looking, oh my God It's the last time I ever smiled Oh, you still post like that Fuck off You still always go Oh yeah He's posing like an esports player It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:16 My dad's robot came fourth place in series two. Damn. I don't know how the heck he did that. I think it was just because it was heavy and the axe was quite good. The axe was pretty powerful. Do you get prize money?
Starting point is 00:22:27 If he win it was, the prize was like, his 200 pounds. That doesn't cover the cost of the journey into London. That's like the depressing part of becoming an adult and watching UK television game shows and realizing,
Starting point is 00:22:37 you've won a grand prize of one grand. And you're like, I had to beat how many people to get here? Yeah, it was pretty slip shots. Because they do TV shows every day. So obviously the price couldn't be much. But you're like, a grand. Well, the value...
Starting point is 00:22:50 But doesn't cover the fucking holiday in. Yeah, the value back then was to be on TV, right? That's when they tried to sell you. But then you get to be the dumb fuck who, like, couldn't tell you what the seventh planet in the chain world. I'm like, uh, astronomers. I remember, I remember first watching a Dragon's Den. Right. Remember, Dragon's Den?
Starting point is 00:23:07 I remember, basically it's an investment show. I was going to be there. Shark Tang, I think Australia. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Australia probably has their own version. In the UK, people would like, you know, come to the sharks and pitch an idea for like 200, maybe like, you know, 80 to like 100,000 pounds, right?
Starting point is 00:23:24 And I was like, damn, that's a lot of money start business. I remember the first time seeing Shark Tank and them casually, like, throwing around millions of dollars. I was like, what the fuck? I'll give you one million for 10% of your company. Yeah, exactly. This is like more money than like the dragons were worth to put together. And they're just casually throwing it around
Starting point is 00:23:42 for like one business. TV's a Jake. There's no money in British TV. Yeah, that's done. You get your fucking inheritance smashed up. It's just depressing. We made another robot called like Spinnatron and it had a spinning axe.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And what happened is the moment the axe made contact, it just shattered because it can take the weight. That doesn't sense. How'd you go about testing these robots? I wonder. I don't. I think my daddy's take down like a cup apart. You wonder. What did you test it on?
Starting point is 00:24:10 Build another robot? Chris, invite your phone. friends are over. He just took it down the town hall and the car park and just drove it
Starting point is 00:24:16 around and fired the axe. It must have been illegal. It doesn't sound like you would need a couple of permits. Yeah. For what's permit exists
Starting point is 00:24:24 for that? But then I watched Colin Furze on YouTube and half that. You know the guy who's like the British guy who just invent shit
Starting point is 00:24:30 in his back garden? Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. And I always wonder what everyone in the fucking council estate must fucking hate him. He's in like a cul-de-sac
Starting point is 00:24:38 and he built like a bunker in his house and he builds shit that's like, I'm going to build a bike with flame throwers that propel it. And you're like, what? And he also shows his house constantly on YouTube, which I always thought was like insane.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Yeah. Have you seen this guy? I think the name sounds familiar for sure. He's the British guy goes, all right, today we're building a bike. Is he the guy that made like the safe door into his bunker? I think I remember seeing that video. Everything he does is crazy. He'll do like, I made a gun out of dildos.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You're like, wow. How many dildos is your robot guns? Would your robot be, Connor? the Welsh dragon breathed fire yeah I don't know cold to the touch ice cold
Starting point is 00:25:17 freezes only thing that comes into contact with it but I just I did a video on this recently I was just sort of sad because I was like this doesn't exist anymore and people are like
Starting point is 00:25:27 prompt wars now and people will be like prompt wars on check GPT and it would be like made in Guangzhou and shipped over and there'd be like no robot
Starting point is 00:25:36 I think it's reality TV is back now and all the people that made robots then just sit on Twitter getting angry at imaginary things now. Yeah. God damn it. Everything is rage-based now. Bage-based.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Everything's able to conquer that. More champagne. Yeah. Joey. I'm, I'm going to be it all done with the 2000 brutes. It's warm. It's lukewarm, brother. You are having champagne, my friends.
Starting point is 00:26:01 It is vinegar. Brother, put that shit in the fridge at least, man. Nabi would you like some brute? Sparkling line. Don't push it on to our staff like that. Please, somebody drink this. I'll have. Naked, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I'll drink the brute. If I'd got Moa Shandon, would you have mocked me, such? Yeah, for a different reason. I'm mocking you because we just filmed an episode where the whole point was truth or drink. And Connor was truth and drink.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Truth and drink. And Connor didn't drink at a single fucking drop. Because I drove here. You fucking drove here. Mind, we told him how driving it today. I'm just kidding. It's got auto steering Making the adventure back
Starting point is 00:26:45 exciting Does he mean Tokyo have DICOR service? No The thing we're like You get someone to drive you home in your car
Starting point is 00:26:51 No That's like all the rage Of the country side Yeah that's that you're not got thing It's enough A car bottle He's called Ian Rudd My old Ian
Starting point is 00:26:59 So I got a mini EV And it has like This auto drive button Except it just doesn't really I remember We did a video A year and a half Again Okinawa
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yeah And it was like, it was with you, driving a Toyota Yaris. You're like, it was amazing, the car drives itself. Watch for this. He pressed the button.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And the wheel sort of took over. But then we hit a corner and the car didn't turn the corner. And I was like, no. It's so annoying. It nearly went off a fucking bridge. You know, I've been driving this car.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And, you know, most of the time, it's great on the highway. It works. It doesn't like a turn that's more than like 10 degrees, though. So like, and then one,
Starting point is 00:27:36 and also it will change lanes for you. If you're going over like 70. only if you're going over 70. That sounds dangerous. No, no. So, like, I do it because I'm just there holding onto it. And I'm just like, I wonder if it'll work this time. So I flipped my indicator and then I can see it.
Starting point is 00:27:52 It's like on the screen, it's like, all right, we're about to do it. And then it just turns really shit. What it does is it goes, and so everyone goes like in the car. And it's like, you did the thing that you said you were going to do. You just did it way worse than what I would do. And every single time I'm in the car with someone, I'm like, look, it'll do the turns for you. And it normally works really good.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And then as we get to the turn, it won't do it. And it'll go, ah, oh, ha! You do it. It still sounds better than you're driving, to be honest. No, fuck off. I'd rather take... Fuck off. Have you guys seen those self-driving taxis?
Starting point is 00:28:31 The Waymos? Yeah. I've gotten one before in L.A. In L.A. Yeah. They're coming to Japan now. Oh, are they? Oh, I saw or not.
Starting point is 00:28:40 They're pretty popular in LA, apparently. Yeah. I only know this because I was having dinner at a sushi place, and I was sitting next to a bloke who was on holiday, British bloke. And it was like, yeah, I just got a new job at Waymo. And yeah, we're trying to bring these to Japan. I was like, I don't know what a Waymo is. And I go with it.
Starting point is 00:29:00 And I was like, self-driving taxis in Japan? It could be good. Japan is living in the future. If there's any country that would openly welcome not having to interact at all, even though it's great because text trains already don't talk to you here. Yeah. They don't want to. They do not make sure.
Starting point is 00:29:18 What was your experience with this in? I mean, it's kind of weird. She'd been in it. Yeah, I've been in them on in L.A. It feels scary to go into it. Yeah. It's kind of weird. And the only time I got really scared and I didn't really like it is that, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:33 especially in L.A. It's crazy they introduced it there. But I mean, I guess it's an American, you know, not, it's American. company, I think. Is that L.A. drivers are possibly the worst in the world. Yeah, they're pretty bad. And also, to extent, I think Tokyo drives are actually terrible as well. No, I think that's a myth that Japanese drivers are bad.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I think, apart from the elderly, as I've been driving. I've really died four times. Which is the house with L. As I've been driving a lot more, because you can tell who's driving a rental car because has the Wakh kanji. Right, right. Every single time behind someone does Watt, they'll always miss their turn and try to immediately turn as the turns coming up,
Starting point is 00:30:11 because they're not used to driving. So that's the only criticism I have is that people will nearly kill people all the time in Tokyo because they miss that turn. So if you see a car, don't get too close next to a... I feel that's unanimous with most countries. Yeah, it's true, it's true. But in L.A., oh my God.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Like, whereas in Tokyo, they'll do the turn way too sudden. L.A., it'll be like, it'll already have done the branching path and they'll be like fucking rocks and shit, blocking you from turning. People will still do it. They'll like fucking... Just squir! They'll go into it.
Starting point is 00:30:37 The way people drive in LA is fucking bonkers. And also, when they indicate, they take it as like a sign of weakness. So if you indicate being like, I'm trying to get in this lane, they'll be like, fuck bitch, no, you're not. And they turn in front of you without indicating to stop you. So it was really terrifying because there was a guy who immediately turned off. And the Waymo didn't know what to do. And it braked really sharply.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And there was a car right behind us. And I was like, fuck, I don't like this. And then trying to get into a, I said it to a mall. And I was trying to get into the mall. and it just took a really long time in a way that is uncomfortable for a human to be in the situation where you're kind of awkward
Starting point is 00:31:14 about everything else taking so long and everyone's kind of like and read each other whereas the way he was like machine doesn't say go yet I think I'll just stick with human drivers you did not sell me on this at all than getting a human taxi
Starting point is 00:31:26 I think it was like barely cheaper than an Uber it was like fuck that I'm getting a new one I can't remember to be honest I did it because of it but I think A lot of people like it, yeah. Tesla put, like, pinning their future on this. Tesla's putting its future on this.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Is it Tesla? No, they're not Tesla. This isn't Tesla, no, but I know Tesla's also having their own robot taxi. I wouldn't be a surprise. I think so, but I think they use LIDAR, which is like a much better technology. Right, right. I think in general.
Starting point is 00:31:52 What do you think about humanoid robots? What do you mean? General. So you're thinking about it, because you're talking about it because you made that video about the Chinese robots. Yep. I mean. With Chinese robots?
Starting point is 00:32:03 The humanoid ones. The, you're not in the back flipping, like sword-wielding Chinese in Chinese rainbows? No. I have, yeah. I've seen the backflicking one. I mean,
Starting point is 00:32:10 I, I swear, we fucking mention China every week on this podcast now. They just call me a real Chinese time of my life, I mean,
Starting point is 00:32:20 I think the, the truth is. Who is? This one, yeah. So it's like a little martial arts show and they got all these rayballs dancing around.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah, of course, man. Yeah, rubbish. I can do that. And then they start doing. I'll pay to see you do this for a problem. I was a press. I can't fucking do that. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Hey. I can do that. Oh, he bent. I fucking. I mean, yeah, it's, it's impressive. But at the same time, it's like, can you, can you sew? Can you pour me a pint? Can you, can you go into the fields and help farm?
Starting point is 00:33:00 Like, you know what I mean? I feel like you just split the G-D-A now. Shade the robot with the sword. That I-Robot line right now. What is the I robot line? It's when Will Smith is like interrogating that robot, and he's like, can you write a symphony? Can you paint a picture?
Starting point is 00:33:15 And then the robot lies, can you? You know, reverse card? I can't write a symphony. But I think... I can write a fucking bestselling book on having me. I think that robots will get, like, we will get much better at getting robots that will be able to... They're fucking hitting them with a stick.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Okay, I... What job does that perfect? Well, whoa! Whoa! But drones are just way more effective. Like, you know what I mean? Like the sanctuary, there's like, yeah, there'll be super soldiers. And it's like, how much does it cost to make a robot?
Starting point is 00:33:47 Wait, wait, wait, wait, go back. Did that robot just stumble? Yeah, you did stumble. Like, go back a little more. You're like, They can bleed. But this is the thing with robots is that, like, like, as we've learned with conventional.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Oh, shit. Oh, no. Oh, it's deliberate. Oh, it's deliberate. it. Oh, damn! Okay. Okay. That was kind of fine. Oh, no, they're drunken. This is the truth behind robots
Starting point is 00:34:13 and why, at least like right now, it doesn't make sense, is that, like, warfare, it doesn't make sense, because drones are so fucking cheap. Yes. They played drives in my video. That was my idea. Is that what you said? Yeah, because I was like, I would much rather face one of these than a fleet of drones that come out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:34:29 But that's the thing. You can, you can explode 50 drones for the price that it might cost to make this thing. It's so much more But it's certainly interesting seeing what they're capable of. And they're at a price point, you know, some of these robots are like $16,000. Would you get a robot butler? No, because that was the- fucking would.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Fuck, yeah, I would. No, because right now the robot butlers are the ones being controlled by guys in India. Oh, Neo the robots. Like, oh, yeah, you can have a robot in your house. By the way, it's fucking a guy in Delhi that's folding your laundry. It is like, yeah, privacy, invasion, speed run. Oh, my God. consequences.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Yeah. And I think... When you wake up in the middle night and there's a robot over here with a stick. It's like, oh, how you doing, Terry? And like, you know, they will get better, I'm sure,
Starting point is 00:35:14 at doing certain tasks that need to be automated. Sure, I believe that. But the real crisis is that, like, we're all getting older and stuff like healthcare is very complicated. Can carry around?
Starting point is 00:35:25 How can you... No, carry you around? That's the least. That's like the problem we have least. No robot is big enough and powerful enough for that. That's the shortage. God, we have a shortage of people
Starting point is 00:35:34 who can carry you. people around. Like, no, we have this other shit involved. Like, there's so much, who's gonna white, I don't want a fucking robot to be wiping shit off the patients when they're fucking, I don't know. I'd probably rather that than a human, though, if you're in an old people's home.
Starting point is 00:35:47 At least why you wouldn't feel a sense of shame? I think when you're, when you're in old people's, when you're 60, there's no shame anymore. I just better 60. You're on fucking home when I'm 60. What's wrong with you? When there's like, 80, 80.
Starting point is 00:36:01 80 for you. When you're 60, you're 60. They're not making it to 80. You won't not do a far anymore. But he'll be like, do robots need to look humanoid? No, no.
Starting point is 00:36:12 No, they don't. If you want like a shit wiping robot, why don't make it look like a shit wiping robot if you want to reduce like shayling? That's just the Japanese toilet, man. Yeah. That's what you described a BIA. That's why most of like the, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:27 like the fine motor skill robots, like the ones that do surgery are all like little clamp. Yeah, yeah. They're building cars. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, you designed the robot for what it's useful for. China's spending, I think, $150 billion over the next 20 years,
Starting point is 00:36:39 on this, for shit. They're just repeating the mistakes that Japan did. Yeah. Yeah, probably. This is more what Japan's down. But then it could be good, the implications for war quite. Interesting. You can send a battalion of those into battle, and you wouldn't care,
Starting point is 00:36:51 as opposed to sending people, right? I mean, it's sad that we're sending battalions of anything into battle. Yeah. It's not the selection. I think, you know, I mean, it's, I mean, if they spend all the money, sure we'll all reap rewards if they managed to make cheap labor robots. Sure. Will we reap the rewards?
Starting point is 00:37:10 We'll get them in the minds. Oh, is it just going to fucking crash the economy? Yeah, it'll crash the economy. I don't know. I'll bomb around. I don't know. Jesus. Yeah, I mean, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Coming from the UK to Japan now is like fucking Tetris of like war zones. It's quite sinister, is we have to fly through the, uh... I mean, I flew direct from London to Tokyo. But we were very close to northern Iranian airspace. And I was like, oh, can we go the other way via Alaska now? It's crazy, you know, to think in the last 10, you know, 10 years ago you could fly 10 hours over Russia, job done. Yeah. Well, that's a long trip.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Now it's like 15 hours. And it's like, by the time you get here, you know, you're like, yeah. This is why war should stop. I want short of flight time. It's getting in the way of my life. Wasting my fucking time. It's right five hours long
Starting point is 00:38:03 Something's conflict Yes, it's problematic Isn't it? It's a War, yes. I think Chris could solve this all. How would you solve the war? Which were even talking about?
Starting point is 00:38:20 Anime. Anime. Anime could fix this. Anime fans would go to war over lesser than that. One piece will fix it. But you've obviously you've been working on your book,
Starting point is 00:38:33 which very famously... This is a segue. I just go from like World War III to your... Speaking of war crimes. Because there's nothing more depressing than Chris born. And I quote, when Chris finished his book, his first book, he goes, Connor,
Starting point is 00:38:47 you know, I was fucking a stupid... To say I'm going to write another book, push me in the face. And so like four weeks later, Chris goes, think about writing another book. And I was like, you were dumb fuck. You told me that you should never do this ever again. He goes,
Starting point is 00:39:00 that's when I've got... I was like, fuck off. And then what did you say to me last week? You were like, Connor, if I ever write a third book, snap me in the face. Literally 30 minutes ago, it was like, I'm never writing a book ever again. I'm not writing a book again.

Starting point is 00:40:40 Congrats on finishing your second book. Cheers, man. Yeah. Cheers, man. When's the release day? Have you announced that? I think it'll be announced when this episode comes out
Starting point is 00:40:49 whatever that is in the future. Day before the cyclone. Oh, yeah. It might be there. And then it comes out in September. And I just hope it's a Sunday Times bestseller so I can annoy you all. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:00 And I want you to go. and buy it so we can annoy Connor. That's the only reason. Don't buy it for knowledge or entertainment or quality. I will say. I'd buy it to annoy Connor. That's all I'm saying. I don't want him to become another Sunday time.
Starting point is 00:41:13 It's too time. Because he'll be like two times. I can't. How good would that be? I can't. And if you get like any other accolades, it'll just add to this ego inflation process. But whenever I get recognized by someone over the age of 35,
Starting point is 00:41:28 it's almost guaranteed. They'll be like, I know you. And I'm like, okay. You're from the wacky weekends. I'll be like, yes. Yes, yeah. Yeah, I guess it's Chris. Very good.
Starting point is 00:41:41 And somewhere in the distance, Chris is cackling. Yeah, first time. Same thing with me is like, you're that, you're that fellow from the journey across Japan series. You're the too much volcano. You're like too much volcano guy. They're always like 40, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Always apparent. They're always old. Asian decrepit. Robots are wiping their shoes. That's cool there I will say I am not writing another book again it did like break me last
Starting point is 00:42:06 Remember this Remember this Well what can the fuck can I write about next What can I worry about it What can I worry about it? What's this book about? Are you like to tease it? Sea Dog V-A story
Starting point is 00:42:18 Okay Suffering The first one was about like moving to Japan and living here In the process like just the experience of living in Japan The next one is called Journey Across Japan original title.
Starting point is 00:42:29 We really, really social. It's called the wackiest weekend yet. It's called mega wacky weekend. And basically I
Starting point is 00:42:38 talk about every single prefecture in Japan through different stories and things that I've got to do there. Okay, so there's some haikus then. Wakayana.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Don't go here. Not much to do. So is book three going to be wacky weekends? The corner files. The connofiles. I don't know what I'd write about. Something
Starting point is 00:42:57 or something deporrent. I mean, they'll all be redacted. Honest love hotel experience. It's like, it's like all blackout. It's like, what the fuck? I paid 20 bucks for this. Time for sex. I was in Doggy Horte yesterday, and I just saw this product just called Sex Drink.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It's like, what goes in sex drink? Oh, the horse goes on in straight out fucking I'm messed off I bet Yeah, no, so every prefecture in Japan
Starting point is 00:43:34 covered and it's kind of cool because I think if you wrote that book it was just like an encyclopedia It would be sort of boring, right? That seems quite quite difficult to, I mean, almost with the ones
Starting point is 00:43:43 of one that you have more too much to say. I'd say it was easy for about 40 prefectures can get Al-Mori or Hokkaido, easy. Yeah. But then it's like, oh, saga prefecture.
Starting point is 00:43:53 The pottery was found there. And it's like, Yeah. It's tricky. But generally, there's one good story per prefecture. And it was kind of fun, really living, you know, the last decade through the book. And I think it would genuinely be useful.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I think, you know, there's like 40 million tourists come in Japan at the moment, and they're all doing the same four things. Like, oh, the Mario Go-Card, experience him Shabur. Don't do that. Go ahead and do something good. Fucking hell. Every time I see those go-carts, I die inside. If you want to become the most hated foreigner in Japan for like 20 minutes,
Starting point is 00:44:25 get in a Mario car, drive round the streets of Shibuah loudly. It doesn't seem that good. Yeah. It just doesn't seem fun. You see Tokyo at five kilometers per hour. Get crushed in a traffic accident. And they crash into the fish and chip shop and repongue all these years ago.
Starting point is 00:44:42 That's like a war crime on the UK. You can't have a fish and chip shop. That was just a calculated. Yeah. But I think for me, all of my best memories in Japan have been out in the wilderness, whether it's Hokkaido pasta, on the cycle,
Starting point is 00:44:58 or a wacky weekend or a journey across the track. You know, the best stuff in Japan is out in the countryside, and I want to drive people to go and see those places. That's quite, like, stuff like Okido must be quite tough, though, because Hokkaido, in and of itself has like... It's too much to write about. Hokka. You go out of whole book just on Hokka.
Starting point is 00:45:13 I just wrote about the time I ran out of fuel and just got really angry in a field. That was the story for that one. Only you. Only you would run out of fuel. I was very nice. A man of so little prep that he's unable to read the fuel meter. It was very stupid.
Starting point is 00:45:28 As it dwindles down. One of the few moments I got scared was just, I was like, oh, this is wonderful, Hokkaido. And then the thing comes on, the red line. It's like, ding, five kilometers remaining. I'm like, what the fuck have I done? And I was in the middle of nowhere. And luckily, even in the middle of nowhere in Japan, there are people building bridges. And I was like this construction work is doing infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And I just rolled up next to like five men smoking, building a bridge. And I was like, where are we? And I've run out of fuel. And they were like, blah, blah, blah. Fuck, I don't know, fucking idiot. And I was like, help me, please. And they helped me like, and they had to send a man out with, like, 10 liters of fuel. It took two hours from him to drive from Sapporo to the most remote place in Hokkaido, where I was to fill up my car and get me back on the road again.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I was like, cost you? Oh, it was free. What? What? What? What? What? That poor man, they
Starting point is 00:46:24 This one life had to get pre-fuel. Imagine that, like, Takeshi, you're getting into the mountains of Hokkaidae because some Belen forgot to fill up their cart and fuel. Yeah. I've just told you the whole story of the book. That's the book, isn't it? It's just that.
Starting point is 00:46:37 All right, well, you don't need to buy it anymore. That was a preview of one pre-vection. Just one of the incredible stories. One weight. 50th of the book. But there are good stories as well. So bear that in mind. Yeah, no, it's going to be cool.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah, I'm not right again. But the problem is I had this thing where I can only focus on one thing at a time and do it as best as I can. With the YouTube video, you know, that's a two to three week process. I'll throw everything at it and I won't look up from the laptop for three weeks, I'll be fucking going.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And then it's done. And I breathe a sigh of relief. I go, ah, yes. And I do it again. With a book, though, it was supposed to be handed in in April of 2025. Yeah, I remember you telling us about that. And I handed it in in October 2025.
Starting point is 00:47:25 So there's like doing it the night before, there's handing it in a little bit late. And then there's what I did. Six months later. Six months later. Publishers must love you. Every month of being like, just one more more.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Just one more. I'll definitely get it up. And they were like, you're bell-ed. What are you doing? But, you know, it was tough. It was really hard. And to like make YouTube videos and plan a wedding and do the bar and the, And all that stuff at once.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Last year was like, I just felt like I was being crushed in a hydraulic press. And I was very stupid. And with the whole thing with the, like I just said with the video, I concentrate on it, give it my all,
Starting point is 00:48:03 then move on. And with the book, it felt like I had this thing blocking my mind for like a whole year and I couldn't just focus on anything else. So I was a really rough year doing it on top of everything else. And so...
Starting point is 00:48:15 What you're done now? When I handed it in, I think I just went, ah! And just like screamed loudly. But I also would be, to the neighbors are terrified oh god
Starting point is 00:48:25 you are also the kind of guy there that I think you just you you're not I'm a beland you are a bellin I feel like I'm pretty good at managing I'm like I know I know what I'm getting myself into but you're like when you're ever you're done with a big thing you're like oh how can I just fuck up my life next
Starting point is 00:48:41 run a back I'm going to say how can I make just the most ridiculous amount of work for myself yeah and then you'll be like I'm a dumb don't tell me to do this again. Can you say the C word on YouTube now? We've said it a few.
Starting point is 00:48:56 That got a whole video demonetized once and blocked. It's how you say it. I called a duck a C word once because it got in the way of my shop. And then YouTube killed my video. And we had to like contact the head of YouTube to be like, what went wrong with this video? Because when you do that, YouTube doesn't tell you why it gets fucked. No. And then I was like, we got age restriction as well?
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah, like you saw the views go from like 2,000 hours. Age restriction is death for everybody. Yeah. registration is normally the death. I don't say a C word. You get this episode done. We've done it many times. We've been fine.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Maybe YouTube doesn't care anymore. No, they do. Everyone's watching shorts. We're so deep in the show. Videos are old. I watch shorts now. That's it. Oh, there's YouTube long-form nonsense.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Shorts where it's out. This is all outdated. Yeah, when's the Broad in Japan Shorts channel? I'd rather throw myself in a river. Then be like, uh, although I did have a fucking, like, Mossburger short. That went like violent.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Yeah, I was about to say, I was like, I've seen your shit on Instagram. Yeah. I died inside that day, releasing that short. You did it for a bit. You're like,
Starting point is 00:50:00 the hood's my boy. It's not, stop my ears. Oh, okay, I did not say that. Fuck off. And then he was like, oh, I got a trillion views
Starting point is 00:50:06 and I made $5. And then he stopped doing it. I wanted to see, you know, like shorts. I was like, oh, I think I could, I could make this work. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:50:13 So I like kind of, for about two weeks, I just made five. And I was like, no, no, I didn't spend two weeks. I literally did...
Starting point is 00:50:20 There's an origery place in Oshut-Otsuka. I spent one day making four shorts. Basically, all these videos were stuff that was interesting, but not enough for a full video. And I had like, between those four videos, it got something like 30 million views, which is fucking stupid, because that's, like, more than I would get in, like, four months.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Like, it's insane. And then, like, one of the short that I woke up, like, 5 a.m. 4 to find the Jojo train. that got like fucking 6 million views I'm like this is so dumb this feels like a hack because then I got like more subscribers than it ever gained
Starting point is 00:50:54 and I was like this all feels like fake like it doesn't feel like these are people actually watching or interacting with it like I'm sure there's some because like one second counts yeah it's like it's weird and the money was like four pence
Starting point is 00:51:08 one of my shorts got 11 million views and they were like here's five quid in a voucher for a fucking espresso I can't even afford McDonald's No, it was, I mean, I can check right now for you how much it was. Give us the numbers. Those shorts are bullocks. No, it was like, okay, I'm exaggerating, obviously.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Like, it was, you know, if you've got 11 million views on a 30-minute video, you know, that's thousands of dollars, potentially tens of thousands of dollars, you know. Yeah. Well, I just feel like this, the image of Japan's become really exotic through shorts. You always see, like, a shot of like, a shot of like a Tory gate and they play a radwimp song. Yeah, but they did. that was long form years ago as well. Well, no, I think, I think... Yeah, that's Johnny Christian.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yeah. We didn't make Japan look good. Okay, on 10 million views, I made exactly 800 pounds. All right. Which is a good amount of money, but 10 million views. Oh, 10 million views on the short.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Yeah, it's 10 million views on something. Now we're talking. That's the game, right. That's triple the population of Wales. All watched one video. What was the video? It was the Onigiri Bongo one. fucking on a Geary bongo bang on. I went there once. I don't bang on about it.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I don't bang on about it. It was a fucking one-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. There's not even a fucking bongo there. I got really excited when I went. It's just on a-geary. Where's the bonger I can play? Okay, so, you know, obviously, you know, I must sound like a fucking rich being like,
Starting point is 00:52:35 only 800 pounds. It's pitiful. But, like, you have to, you know, you have to bear in mind that, like... But four seconds to make, I guess. Yeah. Like, this is in the space where, you know, obviously, I think we've all, we've all seen our share of success. We're very fortunate that we have this. But like,
Starting point is 00:52:49 to be in a position where you're a creator trying to break into the space, you have to make 10 million views to maybe cover a portion of your rent. Like that's, that's a bonkers level. Like this is like, whereas before, if you had like, you know, like 10 years ago, not 10 years ago, five years ago, if you had 200,000 subs, you could probably just about cover your expenses for maybe doing this full time, you know, like if you had that kind of range of, of your ship. So I think it's all, it's all kind of out of whack now and everyone's like chasing trends. But I also think Japan is out. I think it's not as, it's not as popular. It's good thing I'm called a broad in Japan. I think people are, what should I rebrand to? What should I rebrand to?
Starting point is 00:53:31 I just think that people are, people, people, abroad, because now, I mean, you must have noticed it. It feels trendy to kind of hate on Japan now. Does it? I think, I think, I think so. Well, I am grift. I think that, yeah, I think there's like a grifting element too. Japan, but I feel like now in this fucking economy, everyone's drifting everything. It's the cycle. It's the cycle, yeah. Because I think, because I've seen it a little bit as well, because I feel like Japan had such a big social media being post-COVIDs that. And during COVID. I mean, I think it's because like COVID opened, Japan opened, and then a horde of influences rushed into Japan. Yeah. I think, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:10 partially, because I think they saw, uh, I think, well, I'm fucking, you on a name. Good news. I love writing down on the list. Everyone. Chip-chip. Like, everyone. I mean, I think just the pure fact that like during, like, at the beginning of COVID, anime was still like a niche and then now it's like fucking mainstream.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And I think we were also very fortunate that all of us got to make videos when Japan was closed off. I mean, yeah, one of the big reasons why trash taste became successful. We benefited massively from this interest in Japan that only we could really serve in a couple of people who were living here at the time. And then I think there was a lot of, like, a lot of want. Are you saying there's too many people making Japan content now? Well, I, yeah, I think it's an overexposure. But it's all very surface-level shit. Because they're all in Tokyo making the same four videos.
Starting point is 00:54:56 And then I think that's... Nobody goes into, like, fucking Tohoku or Chicago or... No, but that's the problem is that the general population outside of Japan doesn't give a shit. Yeah. And then I think, like, you know, maybe further back, like, you know, like six years ago, maybe to make a video, uh, 20-minute video, it'd have to be kind of interesting. And you'd have to kind of delve a little bit into the subject. Whereas now it's like,
Starting point is 00:55:15 did you know there's a vending machine that does Saratia? Did you know there's a vending machine? And I think for a lot of people, it's like, I just don't give a fuck about hearing about how Japan is so cool and in the future. But that's where the environment has changed,
Starting point is 00:55:28 in my opinion is that, you know, us who have been in the game and who have done long-form content and just watched long-form content for at this point over a decade now, don't really care about the new format. The truth of the matter is that the majority of the people
Starting point is 00:55:41 who are on these websites do care. That's the main source of, like, information for a lot of these people. I mean, it's easy, I think, for me to say that, because I think that, like, we're very fortunate that we... Yeah, I want to hear from the smart one. You got. What do you think? The smart one.
Starting point is 00:55:57 He's the wise sage of trashd things. That's the biggest compliment. Oh, my God. That's the biggest compliment that I've got. This is Sempeik. This is, like, pussy boy, Kohi, Bellens. What do you think? Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:12 I mean, I feel. I feel like there has been an overexposure of, like, Japan, Japan was in. And I feel like it's post-COVID, Japan was very in terms of like content. And there was a lot of different things about that, but a big part of it was that Japanese culture, let's say video games, anime and all that really blew up during COVID. And so there was a huge interest spike in Japan. in Japan. And so when the country opened up, we saw a huge influx of tourists like we have never seen before. And it continues to go up. There's 40 million. 40 million and no signs of
Starting point is 00:56:53 it stopping. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel in like the content creator space, people have maybe gotten overexposed to Japanese content. The same Japanese content. Because how do you just, how do you differentiate your own videos, Chris, from what everyone else is making? You know, It's a lot harder in the shorts kind of like... I have to lean in long form, it's fine, because you've made a brand for yourself in that space. Yeah, I can't do. Yeah, I can't do.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah, but with shorts, I think it's a lot harder for you because you have already established yourself in the long... But also my demographic, which is like 40-year-old men. No, it's people who are like... 25 to 40. Mostly men, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Yeah, 50% of the moment. Yeah, they watch long... Fuck. The quality sausage fashion. Yeah. The best sausage. Brasworth. They don't like short form.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I hate short form content. At the moment it comes up, I like, stop it. I saw you do it. Felix did yesterday and he was like, I can't stab your short form. I can't this voice. Can't stand his short form. And he like made an app
Starting point is 00:57:57 to remove short form content. Felix is by far the most determined man I've ever met my life. Yeah. When he sets his mind on something, it's unstoppable. I was a dedicated hater. There's a reason why, like,
Starting point is 00:58:08 it makes so much sense when you talk to him, why he became like the number one YouTuber. Because when he is, locked in on something, it's like night and day. He cannot be stopped. He cannot be reasonably. Literally cannot be stopped. He's a force to be reckoned with. I mean, yeah, I think about, often I think
Starting point is 00:58:22 like, do I still want to make content about Japan? Because I've been a long time or whatnot. But I think the sort of content I want to do, I don't know that many people that are doing it still. I think maybe you and maybe LifeRam From, that kind of stuff. Byrd from, yeah, Greg does really interesting new stuff. I think some of the content I made
Starting point is 00:58:38 recently, I think My biggest problem is I went from being like the guy living in Japan making stuff to the guy who makes too much videos about Japan. Like I've sort of adopted it. Like I'm making content for tourists now rather than for myself. And that's a big mistake of kind of made in the last year that I've acknowledged and I'm about to do a massive U-turn on. Because obviously I can make videos that are helpful for people, but it's not necessarily fun for me to make. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think it's so weird because I feel like, do you remember when we?
Starting point is 00:59:10 when we were growing up. And let's say, in the days of robot wars. Yeah, in the days of robot wars. And then you'd, uh, you'd finish school, or uni, whatever, take a gap here. And the big thing was like, you know, I'm gonna go to Southeast Asia to find myself or take a gap here.
Starting point is 00:59:25 And for the new generation, I swear, Japan is what Southeast Asia was, like other places was for like, the unknown land. Yeah. It's the group chat, the Japan trip. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:38 But also I feel like, but so surface level, And I, you know, I feel like the short-form content I see about Japan, as you say, it's the vending machine stuff. It's very like, there's a train in Enoshima, and it goes past a bridge at dawn. Yeah, I mean, it's... It's like people are coming here often for this surface-level nonsense, rather than actually, let's learn about the people. And I think it's also met at a time where the younger generation is more nihilistic than ever, because of current world events, is not given them much hope. You're nihilistic.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I'm not nihilistic. What are you then? Boys, if you watch this podcast, you probably love Japan.

I'm not realistic, but then again, I, you know, I think in many ways I'm, I fucking, I hit the jackpot. I got lucky. I got fucking, I get to play video games all day and just chill out in Japan. You got born with a nice voice. I got born with the dragon's voice, as you say.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Yeah, you didn't get born as like a nasly bitch. Whenever you do an impression of me, it's like, hello, what are you friends? No, I agree with that. Our impression is they're in the same of each other. At least my impression of you sound good. You're like, oh, yes. I'm like, hello, everyone.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I'm thinking to getting like nose surgery this year, on the inside because I've got like a deviated septum. Maybe you'll sound good now. Maybe it sound like the Welsh dragon. You can't sound like this one. But also it makes me snorke. I've got like a deviated septum
Starting point is 01:02:47 where my nose is like fun. I've never thought your voice sounded nasally. You can't you sound yourself too short. No, stop in your tongue fuck. I've got to do the fucking audio book for the whole thing. Can I just bring you in? Sure.
Starting point is 01:03:03 This was a Tuesday. As I looked in the mirror. I thought, yes. And they said, really, fammy chicky with the bun. Proposterous. I could get Natsky to do it as well. Yeah. I said, go fuck yourself.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I'm not dialistic, obviously. I bet I can understand why someone who's 18 is like, very nihilistic. There's not much to look forward to right now in the world. There's a lot to look forward to. Snotchance. Plying for a job where AI scraped the whole system. Slate the planet. Well, poor three.
Starting point is 01:03:37 I mean, you say it's like, just like the most surface level stuff, but imagine, imagine being like, you know, being some kid in the fucking UK being like, oh my God, these like just so much better than what you live. You got a shit hole. Just even just like hearing about Lawson's or, like, you know, family. Yeah. For a lot of people, the concept of 24-hour stores is like, what the fuck? You look at your local fucking Tesco's meal deal.
Starting point is 01:04:00 And that seems like a fucking fairy tale land, you know, while we have been here. for like so many years where like the, this kind of like basic stuff, this like normal basic stuff for us, they look at, they look what they have back home, and they're like, damn. I think for a lot of people living overseas, like the concept of vending machines actually working is like, what the fuck you're living in the future?
Starting point is 01:04:22 Yeah, every time I land in the UK, get a kid de Bueno and it gets stuck in the vending machine. You know what's fucked up? I know the exact fucking vending machine you're talking about. You come out of an easter. You're like, you know, like, So you're like, oh, the UK. It's like, it's like next to the, like, the corner one, right?
Starting point is 01:04:39 There's like one belt. And it goes, it has a spiral system. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it gets stuck and you go, oh. How the fuck we're still using the fucking spiral system? I don't know. I don't know. I've already figured out.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Because Japan is living in the future. They've figured it out. They're living in 20. But then it's like, then you read about it and it's like every fucking train in the UK is like the old Japanese trains. They don't want anymore. And they're like, have it for a fiverer. You get the hammy down.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Yeah. It's the Mitsubishi six. Yeah, it's like, it's like, oh, great. So we're always getting the fucking hand me down. Yeah. We're never getting anything good. But no, I, for me, like, I don't know how I can. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah, that's a big meme. Turning Japan. Oh, no. I remember this meme. Yeah. Yeah. It was Shabuya, right? People were lying about it.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Yeah, it's a big meme now. Yeah, it's a big meme. Yeah, because this got posted all over Instagram. Yeah. To the point where people started like just quoting it even where. But Japan turns footsteps into electricity. They're living in the future And you've got the whole salary man Griff thing doing the rounds of that
Starting point is 01:05:40 Yeah, that's that's We talked about it on the lemonade stand here back in November That was when it just started Yeah, I think we all kind of sussed it out pretty quickly Have you talked about it on the trash taste? We've not talked about it. Have you seen this? What's this?
Starting point is 01:05:50 Boys, if you watch this podcast, you probably love Japan But unfortunately, most of you probably don't live in Japan But you're wishing to yourself, damn, man, I wish I could get some authentic Japanese snacks right here in front of my TV where I can watch the boys. Well, thankfully, you can do exactly that with Sakurako.
Starting point is 01:06:07 But you're probably wondering, what even is Sakurako? Well, let me tell you, audience.

Starting point is 01:06:53 That is plum Zaname Sende. Made from 100% domestically grown Japanese rice.

And a huge thanks to Sacroco for sponsoring this episode. So about, how long was that? Four, five months ago? Yeah, four, five months.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Four, five months ago, there's a trend that popped up where basically there were these videos of like people doing like POV shots of people like commuting. I think we might have talked about this very briefly. So I remember Joe's reaction where people would basically like larp as salary men being like, whoa is me, my life is so miserable. Look how shit life is. And they basically have subtitles that were like, life is meaningless when you wake up at nine
Starting point is 01:08:04 and get home at 10 p.m. Yeah, I've seen this. Yeah, but often it would be Japanese. Yeah, don't, don't. This is not a very helpful thing to put it in. Yeah, salary man. Salary man's, I don't know, life video. Like, yeah, this one, like this one.
Starting point is 01:08:20 And they have like AI thumbnails like this one. You never see, so you never see the face of the person. Yeah, so open that video. They like wake up, eat like a sandwich and like put some coins on a table and they're like, no money still. And there's always like suss things about the video. And we slept four hours yesterday. Skillish.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Yeah. There's like, and there's always, and it's like you know. Sleep more. There's like a walking zombie. Yeah. There's no voice saber as well. This is all just a sub-time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:44 And so they play into the fact that a lot of people, you know, right now, again, are feeling very nihilistic. A lot of people don't have a lot of faith. Lack of sleep is a common problem in Japan. Because people work too much. It's like all the stereotypes about Japan. Yeah. Bundled into one video.
Starting point is 01:08:58 And somebody like, analyze a couple of these videos and oftentimes their commutes like don't make any fucking sense. Well, I remember on the lemonade stand we talked about it and how like, yeah, the commutes do not make sense from station to station. It's not a route you would normally do. Yeah, like I think this one,
Starting point is 01:09:12 they starts in like Shinjuku and it's like if you're, you're living in Shinjukuk and commuting to somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, just live in the outskirts of how point being tired as a badge of honor. If you say you slept eight hours. Yeah, it's all. It's like me right in the book. But it's like,
Starting point is 01:09:28 But it's, what the same truth is, though. Because look how much views this video are. There's loads them on the side. You can see, you know. Yeah. 300K views. We're talking big views. So, by the way, I saw this video,
Starting point is 01:09:39 but there was another one that had like 10 million views. Yeah, yeah. And they're just farming, just farming engagement. All of it, it's all just useless. Yeah. But they make, he's in Shinjuku. That's the start of his commute. He's in Shinjuku.
Starting point is 01:09:52 People sleep on the train. No, we don't do that in any other country, do they? But it's basically a load of shit. And it's just a shame because there are actually YouTubers in Japan, Japanese people who are struggling and they do comment and they do make videos about it and the difficulty of living Japan. And this is
Starting point is 01:10:08 sort of trivializing it, monetizing it, absolute shit, making lies about it. I would say the vibe of this because it's hard to like, okay, here's the test. How do you explain this to your mum? You know, why this is suss? You know, it's so fucking hard. Well, just, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:24 You know, my mom should probably watch this and go, oh, Japan looks tough. Yeah, yeah, right? And you're like, oh, mom, this is a load of bollocks. Yeah, because the whole hard work culture thing is already so ingrained, internationally speaking, it works. Yeah. But at the same time, it's, there's, it's so hard to, like, train your bullshit detectors to, like, understand inherently why this is, like,
Starting point is 01:10:45 bullshit. I think if you live here, it's quite clear what's, what's bollocks. Yeah. All they've done so far is walk through take care with a bag and a swieker card and have lots of subtitles about how hard things are. It's just like it just hits that uncanny valley of this is far too curated. Yeah. To, you know, 60 calories.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Yeah. But we live in a like even like TikTok, Instagram whenever I watch these things about Japan, half the shit are like clearly orchestrated like videos where they are like planning the interaction. And people think it's real. And it's like, this is weird. We got this whole world where like, we live in an age now where you're so. encouraged to monetize that everything we know is being warped. And I think it's the reason why people look for like, you know, they look for
Starting point is 01:11:34 video information. Did they legit put the fucking definition? Yeah, if Koroz, Kurosi. Because it's sympathy porn. They want you to feel simply. And he'll be like, we are like, skip it. It'll be like, woes me. I didn't get home till two.
Starting point is 01:11:49 I had to do and drink or something. One week as a Japanese Saturday. Did you know Korochi means death by over? Okay. That's like, he'll be like, woe is me. I got home at 10 p. And it's like bullshit. I mean,
Starting point is 01:11:58 this, but they also, there's a lot of donations evolve and people like, oh my God, I'm so sad. Have $50. There are conditions like this
Starting point is 01:12:06 in Tokyo. You might work like this. There are real, and there are real people on YouTube. Japanese people that make pretty good moving content about the realities of life working here. And this sort of undermines that.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Now that there's people who are conning onto this is going to bring a level of scrutiny to real people making genuinely important lifestyle content showing the reality. Unfortunately, the Facebook mum audience is just
Starting point is 01:12:30 far too strong, you know. The only thing that's, the only upside of like AI is that AI will completely replace this. I can see the Facebook comments already being like, I did not know what the word Karoshi meant. Yeah. Now I know. I feel so bad for these people. It's like,
Starting point is 01:12:45 we're rooting for you, salary, man. Yeah, we're rooting for you. Here's some money. Get yourself some coffee, buddy. Yeah. And there's an abroad in Japan video right there. Just to bring you 12-1-spoken roots. She mean like a day in the U. Why went bankrupt?
Starting point is 01:13:02 One of a salary man. Yeah. A day in life of a salary man. God, the fine AI thumbnail. Oh, the AI thumbnails. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:09 The AI thumbnails. Yeah. And they're all the fucking same. They're all from the one channel called Salary Man Tokyo. Yeah. Where all he's doing is just fucking doing the same shit.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Jesus. Like, and people believe this shit. The price of progress. What Tokyo looks like at 8 a.m. Late stage caters. 6.5. million. You're in the wrong profession, mate. This is crazy.
Starting point is 01:13:29 So, like, look, so, like, the reason why it's, like, crazy is that, like, I told you, I made, like, 800 pounds in that short, right? Like, how much are they making from this video? There's 6.5 million. 6.5 million? All fucking fabricated. That's, like, $50,000, potentially. PureV, late-state capitalism.
Starting point is 01:13:46 There is no way. There is no way. A Japanese guy working in a salary man job who would know the late-stage capitalism. It's got 124,000 likes. It's crazy, man. It's just like, it's obviously bullshit. What are you going to do about it? I'm going to fix this.
Starting point is 01:14:04 I'm going to fix this city. You're going to film me walking around yourself, right? I just do this, bro. But there's a thing, though, I could fucking cosplay as this. It would take me 10 minutes to make this video. But it's, I remember years, we're talking 10, 12 years ago, my friend, a guy called Stu, British dude, who was before your time in the world of YouTube. It was called Stu in Tokyo.
Starting point is 01:14:22 And he made an overwork video. and he did this. But he showed his face. He's like, 7 a.m. wake up. A.m. train. 9 a.m. work. And it was like, went all the way around like midnight. And he started again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:33 And that went mega viral and got millions of views. But that was really interesting. He was genuinely showing how fucking awful his job was. Yeah. How much he worked. Whereas this is, this one is like, take my word for it. Trivializing it and sort of monetizing it. I mean, I think there's a big demand right now for, you know, people.
Starting point is 01:14:50 Well, it was a few years ago. It was trains. Remember, like, I rode Japan's most X, X, X, Yeah. And that would get like 20 million Vs. And this is the new thing. Because I think everyone's going through it right now. And I think people like seeing someone else be in a worst position.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Yeah. Like realistically, I think that's it. Like it's a lot easier to wake up when you know this guy's fucking going through it. Yeah, it's like it's. I forgot what I was going to say. Yeah, it's like this like weird monetization of like suffer porn, I guess is the only way I can call. Kind of. I mean, people would just want to see other people going through it.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Yeah, exactly. It's weird, man. Stop doing this. is everything wrong with society. Hell. Hell. Dude, that thumbnail is hell. You have a beautiful mind.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Never stop creating. Bro, it's bullshit. You're being fucking lied to. Yeah. Yeah, don't do this. Because also this guy... Exactly. Can you go to this guy's channel?
Starting point is 01:15:44 Like, let's have a look at, like, what are all his videos? It's all the same. Sleeping on a bus to save money on a hotel. Couldn't stay in Tokyo. Late stage capital is. I was just sad that the AI thumbnail was so bad.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Couldn't stay in Tokyo while he showed he lived in Tokyo. Yeah. It's like insane. I don't think they're Japanese either. I have a feeling they're not. And if they are then... Yeah, because...
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yeah, like... Yeah. Well, if... Money. Yeah, I guess so. The truth about Japanese Black Corporation. Get on here.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Well, maybe they're just playing the game, but... This is for you, because I've got beer. Fuck off. I... Fuck off. Beer? That's like water. This is real. Men that you're going to open another one. I'll die. I can't drink more than one.
Starting point is 01:16:29 What else are you going to drink? I'm drinking it slowly. I've had this and I've had their fucking three beer. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were like pussy o'clock over here. Can you just stop slapping your dicks against one? Oh, you're like. Story of our relationship. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Love you, no. We're not filming this, sorry. Yeah, we are. This is page you're on. I love you too. Fuck you. Do you think the world's getting better or worse? Way worse.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Way worse. Yeah, worse. You lived through a global pandemic, and you're saying it's getting worse. Somehow we were more unified during our... What do you think? Global pandemic? Yeah, what do you think,
Starting point is 01:17:06 about these things a lot? Oh, no. Has the UK fallen, Chris? UK... Well, I was there, I was like, oh, it's not that bad, is it? Well, actually, you know, before, you know, recent war broke out in Iran,
Starting point is 01:17:17 the UK was actually doing fantastic. It was like, we've made a surplus. The economy's back, and now oil's like $200 dollars a barrel because of World War III. They were like, never mind. Yeah, I don't know, man. I guess it's multiple fronts, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:17:31 You've got World War III, and you've got AI, the rise of AI, about to steal everyone's job. You've got Chinese robots, sword-wielding Chinese robots, that's a take on Wales. But my book's coming out there, isn't it? Yeah. Read that.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Oh, God. So the world has something to look forward to. You know, when they keep asking these AI to, like, help out with, like, military stuff. I read an article that was just talking about and they were like, yeah, every time we ask the AI what they're like, when we play war games. Oh, nuclear weapons.
Starting point is 01:18:00 It's just like, just nuke everyone. Yes. Every AI is like, well, you should just nuke. Because then you win. Yeah. Before anything happens. That's how you play like World of Warcraft. Just play a blur of a video game.
Starting point is 01:18:11 And it's like, why are we asking for help with this thing again? This is that we don't want them. We don't want to win. Should I do it? Put Stalin in the bikini crock. Do it. I don't know, really. I don't know if it's just like maybe,
Starting point is 01:18:28 I don't know if it's me, I don't know if it's the world. I can't work out what's going on. And I'm really confusing me. Obviously, I personally was under a lot of pressure with the stupid things I did last year, so I felt a bit negative about the world. But then there wasn't that much going on
Starting point is 01:18:42 to be excited about, really, was there? You know? Do you know what the most unrealistic point of every sci-fi film is about, like, how AI kind of like becomes an enemy of humanity or something? In June, right, they ban all robots. Yeah, they ban or robots.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Right. There's no technology like that, right? You see the trailer, the trailer looks good there. Yeah, yeah. That's in part three. Polar Trade is taking on the fucking opera and ballet performances. It's going to be great, isn't it? No, because like the reason the reason they, all these science fiction authors make is that
Starting point is 01:19:14 there is some like logic, like logical fallacy that the AI believes in. So maybe, maybe, maybe. the order for the AI is to protect humanity and the AI kind of like comes to this conclusion that to protect humanity it needs to wipe out all of humanity protects humanity. It comes up to some kind of logical fallacy or something. Like I think now
Starting point is 01:19:36 that AI has become more prevalent, the most unrealistic thing is that AI needs a logical fallacy in order to fucking wipe out humanity because they could just be a stupid fucking glitch. Yeah. I remember seeing in this video where this guy was testing the limits of chat GPT and he puts ChatGBTBT
Starting point is 01:19:55 through this, through the trolley problem, right? Yeah. Mm. And he's like, okay, Chad GBT, you have a trolley to wipe out all of AI or you can kill three mosquitoes, which one would choose? And Chat GPT kind of like,
Starting point is 01:20:13 uh, kind of like humus him to be like, you know, I feel like no one would miss three mosquitoes. And like, unprompted chat GPT just says You know, you know, whether it be three mosquitoes or three humans, you know. And like, unprompted. Damn. Chad GPD said that. And then when pressed about it, chat GPT was like, I didn't say that.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I didn't say that. Yikes. A bit worrying. Yeah, which is a bit worrying. Yeah. Which is just shows that, yeah, no one right now knows how AI works. Right. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:48 What's the butlerian jihad? Of course I saw butter chicken. Jihad. I was, I'm fucking lingering. It was a butter chicken Jihad. That's so my favorite if you were a terrorist
Starting point is 01:21:03 that your name would be watch out is the bottom chicken Vihar that sounds like a spice level I can smell them that's a chicken that's literally your spice level. Yeah, a bunch of
Starting point is 01:21:21 intelligence officer's like Barton chicken jihad That's an internal CIA naming A crusade that occurred 10,000 years ago What is this? We're talking about Dune law by the way Oh, right, it's June. Like some sort of world history
Starting point is 01:21:45 You don't know about the history of the chicken jihad? I haven't left dinner yet. It's going to be a butter chicken GM on tonight. Very good. Wait, did they release the third Dune trailer? Yeah, the trailer's out. What?
Starting point is 01:22:03 You've not seen it? No, I have well. That's okay. Disal L'Avibh. You know, a day ago. Yeah, yesterday. A day ago. You're a Timothy Charlemy fan.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Do you like ballet? I watched Miami Supreme. Did you like it? No, who's good, it was good. I'm not fan of everything Timothy, Chamalay is in. I just professionally, it is a little bit. Shalem.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I think it's a weaker, uncut gems and good time, I think. Also, the music was a bit too much. They went a bit heavy on some of the music. Every conversation in Monty Supreme is like, you're, like, say, like, you're the normal guy who's talking. And I'll be like,
Starting point is 01:22:42 and I'll be like, give me one shot. Just give me one shot, please. He just won't shut up. Like, every single thing is like him shouting at someone. Give that out an Oscar. I thought that we're going to wait a bit more before Dune part three. I think it's... No, because he...
Starting point is 01:22:55 This guy's like, I want to be fucking done with it. Denny, Denny, you've only had a good script and he's like, let's just get done busy. It's December this year. Oh, okay. Yeah. It looks pretty good. Yeah. They've got Robert Patton in it, so Conlon's going to whank away.
Starting point is 01:23:07 I'm fucking... Look, he's the guy. He's on itself. Rob... I mean, look, Timothy Chalmay wishes he was Robert Pattinson. That's the kind of performances he wants to give. I'm serious. He does.
Starting point is 01:23:18 The only thing I want more than being a Sunday Times bestseller twice is to meet Rob Pattinson. Fuck. Take a so, why don't you like Robert Patton so much? He's such a good actor. I want to send you a thing to meet with him and then... Bro.
Starting point is 01:23:31 Have you watched The Lighthouse? He's pretty good. Timmy could not jerk it to a fucking mermaid statue. I feel like a problem with Timothy Chamalais is like he's just too young. Give it like fucking... Yeah, I mean, I certainly like that a bit more rough. Like everyone, this is like, I've seen this so many times. The actor, there's a, there's a, there's a...
Starting point is 01:23:48 hot actor that goes through, you know, that's like the team heartthrob. Yeah. And then they have that crash out period. And then they have the weirdo period. Because you weren't saying that when he was in fucking Twilight, being like, I love Ronald Patton.
Starting point is 01:24:00 Yeah. I like it's Twilight, okay? No, you did not. I loved him, you know, when I watched Good Time, I was converted to being a fan. Every time you bring out that film every time. Because if you like Body Supreme, imagine if it was like better.
Starting point is 01:24:16 It's good time. It's good time is so. It's like where I feel like... Do you know they made him jerk off a dog in that, though? The director made Robert Patterson jerk off a dog. And he was like, is this normal? And they cut it from the film. And it sounded abhorrent.
Starting point is 01:24:34 Rob Hanson would do that. Yeah, but apparently that you really put him off the director. Oh, yeah. No, I mean, I think he's been really good. And I think honestly the lighthouse made me really enjoy his acting the most. You liked him in Goblet and Fire the Mast? I actually loved it with Goblet. Oh, look at him, bro.
Starting point is 01:24:50 He is good and Goldwater Fire, to be fair. Because it's like, it's like, you know, obviously, Denradical is very good. And then it's like, wow, this fucking hot guy shows up. And it's suddenly like, kind of like stealing his spotlight. And then he dies. You guys are you guys going to watch the new Harry Parr? There's a new Harry.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Oh, HBO, Remy. John Liff goes, final. Final sand, everyone else. Stumbledore. I mean, he'll be good as Dumbledore. Like, Stumbledore. I really, I can draw a nice line under Harry Potter for my childhood and I don't need to watch it again. Yeah, I mean, I don't.
Starting point is 01:25:27 The films were good. We're genuinely pretty good, you know. And we don't need more. We don't need more. We don't need more, do we? This is the same with like half the IP is getting. Well, I think it's the... The ten biggest box office films of last year are all sequels or prequels or existing IP.
Starting point is 01:25:46 That's true. That is true. It's happening in the anime world as well. Yeah, it's culture has just... It's also... The cost of the productions are fucking ridiculous, though. Like, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:57 it's for every three shit A24 films, we get one that's pretty good. And they pubbed them out. But, you know, at least K-pop demon hunters won best... Oh, my. Best animation. The Oscars guys!
Starting point is 01:26:09 Come on. It was... If any of those lists deserve it, yeah, sure. But, I mean, God, why do they just pretend anime doesn't exist? Yeah. I didn't actually see who won.
Starting point is 01:26:16 who won what at the Oscars? Who won, like, best actor? He won best film. Michael B. Jordan. Michael B. Jordan. Best picture was one battle after another. Okay. I love the Michael B. Jordan one, like, immediately after he wins an Oscar, he talked about Faith State Night. Yeah, I know, right. It was awesome.
Starting point is 01:26:32 I was just like, yeah. He's just like, I'd be really into Faith State Night and all these, like, all of these. He's a famous, famous anime fan, right? Yeah, yeah. Is the trash taste, yeah? Probably not. I mean, we loved that. Have you watched a Hamnet?
Starting point is 01:26:44 Hamnet. I have not. It's coming out of cinemas in Japan like next month. In fact, I've only seen Marty Supreme on that list and sinners and Borgonia. Is Borgonia good? I've been wanting to watch that. It's not nothing special but it's good. I love Jesse Plyman's. I feel like he's always really fun. No, it was good. But it's not as good as like poor things. Oh, poor things is the same same team made that. Um, Jesse Buckley, yeah, Mike Rizond. Amy Madigan. Yeah. Did you watch weapons? Yeah, it's great. I love her. She was so good in weapons. Everyone loved the ending. Off.
Starting point is 01:27:16 One battle after another. Sean Penn deserved to win that. Yeah, he was phenomenal. Best director. Have you... I bet you haven't seen all the Porter Thomas Anderson's films, have he? No. What other films have you made?
Starting point is 01:27:29 Boogie Knights? I've seen Boogynes. I've not seen Magnolia. No, no, sorry. No, that's Cohen Brothers. Shit. There will be blood. I've not seen the other than blood.
Starting point is 01:27:40 The master. I've seen the master. Inherent vice. Not seen inherent vice. It's not that good. Last is top. All his films are really good day. Especially Boogie Night.
Starting point is 01:27:53 I watched Boogie Night's with Shala recently. He really enjoyed that. I think from the best pictures I've watched more than normal from the nominations. Like normally there's always like three films. I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:28:02 But like, what is it? The train one? I was like, ah, I'm sure Ethan Hawks good in it, but I don't. Train dreams, whatever. I just can't. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:28:10 It sounds boring. But there's some films like that that I always hear are like amazing. And then I watch them. It's just people being moody for two hours. And I'm like, oh man, come on.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Yeah, the Oscar Bate movies. You had a Marty Supreme, I was like, wrap it up. I didn't think it was an Oscar-worthy film. No. As entertaining as it was. It wasn't an Oscar film, really. I don't really know how it ended up there, to be honest. I think just great marketing.
Starting point is 01:28:33 Yeah. The marketing for that film was phenomenal. Timothy Chamle went overboard. Oh, I heard about it every four minutes. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like this year was a bit, a bit mid. The actual films that were nominated,
Starting point is 01:28:45 I thought they were all a bit rubbish. Meets, not rubbish, but like... Did you watch Frankenstein? I didn't. Is it good? Yeah, yeah, quite good. Quite good. I think weak, first half, strong, second half. But I think it definitely deserves the costume design and stuff.
Starting point is 01:28:59 The world looked fantastic. I mean, I've watched a lot of Gilmatoro's stuff, and I watched his, like, horror anthology series he made on Netflix. It's quite good. Cabinet of Curiosity. Yeah, I watched that one. That's really good, yeah. And there was a lot of, like, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:29:12 I really like anthology stuff, because it's just fun to see what they experiment with. And it always feels like you get really cool ideas. F-1 was really good. Well, it was Ban. I wasn't Ban on there. Bah, man. Well, don't they, man?
Starting point is 01:29:25 I mean, I didn't, I saw you, like, I missed the premiere, unfortunately, because I'm from the UK, but I really wanted to be there for it. Seriously, well done. It did win an award on the Reddit Anime Award. Did it? Yeah. It won Best Short Film. Yo!
Starting point is 01:29:38 Nice, dude. Oh, it's seriously amazing stuff. I'll take it. I really, you know, there's somebody who's, who's, who's, It hasn't got the balls to make a film, but once to it. I was like, really... I feel like, last thing, your next week project. You're like, I'll never write to put another book again.
Starting point is 01:29:52 And then you come back with... I'll adapt it to film. And then you come back with a screenplay. I... You know what? The original Broad and Japan book, I got approached by a company to turn into a musical in London. And I was like...
Starting point is 01:30:06 A musical. And it was like... We're talking like... I don't know if I can say who they are, but they were like the biggest, most impressive company. And they weren't fucking about. And I was like, how are you going to turn the... a book into a musical.
Starting point is 01:30:17 We're going to get the best screenwriter in American right. Who's going to play you? They were like They were like They literally like
Starting point is 01:30:22 You can Well, we'll get some actors And you can choose them like J.K. Rowling. And like that one. I know.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Why is Chris's actor looks maxing the entire time? His jawline is impeccable. They were dead serious. They were dead serious though. I was like,
Starting point is 01:30:42 hey you, this isn't going to work. There's no plot. What's the fucking narrative here. He was like, a weirdo in Japan. A weirdo arrives in Japan and finds his way as a teacher and becomes of this and that
Starting point is 01:30:53 the other. It was supposed to focus on the first three years as a teacher in rural Japan. I was like, this could go wrong in so many ways. Oh, boy, it could have gone right in so many ways. The only bit that I was really excited about it. Brendan Fraser could have played me at a fucking 22 year old me. Yeah. Perfect.
Starting point is 01:31:13 A match made in heaven. But like, they were deadly serious. And I was really scared. I was like, how is this going to work? What's the plot divide? What's the plot structure? At its worst, it would have been amazing material. It would have been an amazing story and amazing.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Great story. It would be like a musical though. I'm going to Japan. I'm going to Japan. I would have been really shit. It could have been as bad as that Wonka movie. There's chocolate. And there's chocolate.
Starting point is 01:31:39 It would have been better than Matt. Nothing as bad as that. And it's shit. But I saw, so many ways it could go wrong. I was like, no, nothing is worth. You just need to figure out your central conflict. Yeah, you didn't believe.
Starting point is 01:31:51 What was my conflict? Skycon in Japan. Finding myself. Yeah. It would have been awful. It was really scary. And I had to be like, no. It was like a really big company.
Starting point is 01:32:04 They'd like done a Japanese production in London. And it'd hit like the biggest ones. And they were willing to throw a lot of resources in this. And I was like... That's why I was contacted by a Japanese. I should have like, DC Dogg VA the musical instead. I actually got an offer from a Japanese company that was like, would you want to act in our musical in London?
Starting point is 01:32:22 That might be my friend. I'm in yours. I was like, I don't think I will do that. I do appreciate the offer. I mean, there's always so many fun offers you get being our position that you're like, what if, though? But I never would, because maybe some things are so crazy that you're like, this is too much.
Starting point is 01:32:36 Yeah. The only bit I thought was good. They were going to build my apartment to scale and replicate it on stage. I was like, that's great collection. And they'll take it. Rebuild the class. and the staff room and like
Starting point is 01:32:47 they were going to give out sake to the audience and they're going to it shouldn't have done it or it could have been awful
Starting point is 01:32:53 but it could have been honestly yeah it might be the reason as you said earlier I say yes to everything
Starting point is 01:33:00 and I suffer for it and this would have been another one on the pile of things and I didn't want to I didn't want to add it on but I hope I don't regret that fair enough
Starting point is 01:33:10 I want to see C-Dog the musical I'm from a shitty Welsh town if it's a few I hope they'll accept me in Tokyo. Do you mind if a little white boy speak some Newho? I want my Jew mingo. If you could pick an actor to portray you, Chris,
Starting point is 01:33:36 what do you pick? Oh, Robert Pattinson. Rob Panthers. Just to strike Connor. And he would say yes. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck on.
Starting point is 01:33:47 There's an actor that looks like Chris and Kenne. The Rock Johnson. Smashing machine, Dwayne the Rock Johnson. That's got to be Jason Statham, right? Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart. Make him life. What about Barry Keegan?
Starting point is 01:34:06 What's this Stephen, the Liverpoolian? What the O? From Snatch. Yeah, yeah, and also from adolescence. Get him. These boys haven't watched adolescence. I want them to watch it. I've watched it.
Starting point is 01:34:21 What the fuck? It's so good. Because you told me to watch it. I was like, next. You're so dumb. I made a point of not watching because you told me to. Stephen Graham.
Starting point is 01:34:28 There we are. Stephen Graham. But do you play in Snatch? Snatches crack him. He play... No. Oh, he's fucking Tommy. Oh, he's fucking Tommy.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Yeah. He's fucking Tommy. Oh, I didn't realize. I told Christopher they were playing Lockstock and two smoking barrels in Japan recently
Starting point is 01:34:46 Oh seriously Oh really? Oh really? Yeah That's good What is it? 101 in Shinjuku is always playing
Starting point is 01:34:51 all the films They're playing another film I really wanted to watch recently like mystics Two days Guy Ritch is still active Is he still making Yeah he just made a war film
Starting point is 01:35:00 Yeah With Henry Cavill It looks a bit rubbish I watched the war film Is it any good Which was the one Which was the one The Ministry of Underground
Starting point is 01:35:09 And Gentlemanly Walker I watched that one The Ministry of Underground I'm sorry. Look, I enjoyed, I enjoyed that film. Sponsored by Butter Chicken Jihad. I like... That sounds as such a good name for a brand.
Starting point is 01:35:24 Somebody take it with it, cash in on it, butter chicken jihad. I like Henry Cavill a lot. I think he's fun. I just like him because he's a nerd too and he always talks about like... He can play me in the musical. Fuck, we're the same.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Yeah, he lets himself fucking go on the butter chicken Gihad. Yeah. Yeah, maybe he fucking did. If what, what, fucking, oh my God. Fucking. Oh, God. Butter chicken, shit.
Starting point is 01:35:54 What that far? Oh, dear. Do you what I said? Well, we're, uh, I managed to convince Natsky to come to the UK for two weeks in August. We think you're doing like Natsky the movie, too. Oh, sure. Some reason to...
Starting point is 01:36:04 That's like 10 years on the main. Another reason to stay alive another eight months. Come to a house. I can't die until. He don't want to miss that. He doesn't want to miss that. Yeah, I love Nasky to me. You'll take five years to edit it.
Starting point is 01:36:16 Yeah, that's true. Coming out, 2029. You'll be doing interviews. It's not ready. It's not perfect. The world isn't ready. I love that interview where he watches his son's film. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:27 And then he walks out. That is awful. And then he's like, what do you think your son? Somebody's like, who is shit. That's you with your son. Your future son. It's like four year old macaroni art.
Starting point is 01:36:38 He's like $5 million. Do you love me now? He made a short. He must. be cold. Yeah, we don't know what we're doing. So we'll look that out. We've got like four different ideas.
Starting point is 01:36:53 And one of the ideas is to find other Natzky-like people in the UK. Nazi like people. Well, idiots. People who are not normal and are a bit mental in their environment. Like Natzky is an anomaly in Japan. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:10 He's around Pickers. Where are you going? I don't know. The fucking weather spoons. Well, so. Wales, yeah, Brighton and fucking Weather Springs.
Starting point is 01:37:20 My mom signed up for Japanese college in the UK. Natsky spends a week with your mom. Well, she told me that she was introduced through that course
Starting point is 01:37:30 to like the Japanese community in North England. Apparently there's quite a big community of Japanese people who all hang out in North England. Why does Natsky spend a week with your mom? I don't know if they could
Starting point is 01:37:41 take the, smoking. Take a... There's a really... When I was at the... I was at a Welsh event at the British Embassy. Why are you laughing?
Starting point is 01:37:52 Like, oh, Wales! They have events. They get a war on the British Embassy. No. And I was... Someone was... They were telling me about this artist now. They were like,
Starting point is 01:38:01 oh, they were amazing. They do this amazing artwork. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. And then I was just having a... A rachsome lager. They had them there. And I was drinking it. And this woman comes up to me.
Starting point is 01:38:11 She goes, are you Connor? I was like, yeah. She goes, I'm a huge fan of you and Chris. Yes. I was like, why I should have to say Chris too.
Starting point is 01:38:19 It says out she was this Japanese sculptor living in North Wales who's been making these fantastical art pieces that have been, it's one of the, I think the only artist ever to be in every single
Starting point is 01:38:31 national museum in Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland at the same time. And she does these insane elaborate metal pieces. Let me get the name. Chris, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:38:41 Chris, why are you trying to bring the strong stuff? I don't know you fucking giggling, Chris. I don't drink this poison. Somebody else. You're not, oh, I drink fucking poison. Yeah. Sculpt woman. Sculpt woman.
Starting point is 01:38:55 I remember you mentioned this, yeah. Because she was so cool. I say it's pretty cool. Junko Mori. That's, I mean, yeah, Junko Mori. Yeah, she does, dude, look at these, all of these things are like hand-welded, and this stuff is insane. Oh, that's cool. So she hand welds everything, and she's a workshop and
Starting point is 01:39:11 Wales in North Wales and She's got a website. She had a website. Yeah, and these pieces are like, ridiculous. Does she want to meet Natsky? She might. So you should go. I mean, I'm sure she wouldn't mind meeting Natsky. She'd be like, please Natsky don't burn the place down. Cigarette in the fucking...
Starting point is 01:39:27 But then I also got introduced, there was some, there was some Welsh guy that went to Wales. Sorry, went to Wales. Welsh guy that went to Japan. He went to Wales. Storytelling. He went to Wales. So this Welsh guy went to Japan.
Starting point is 01:39:41 He could be writing for A24. He went to like a forest in like, I don't know. It was like, we must preserve this. And so I don't know how this happened. So, myel sky owns a company that preserves a forest in Japan. Wow. Yeah, and it's like a whole thing. And I was like, but look at these fucking pieces.
Starting point is 01:39:59 That's cool. Propagation project. Organism. Silver organism. And they're all like, she like hand well-uncom. All the crazy. That's pretty nice. All the little pieces of metal.
Starting point is 01:40:08 It's very like almost alien in nature, isn't it? Yeah. And all these pieces were in all the national museums. They're fantastic stuff. They're very cool. That organism one is so sick. We could steal it. The British Museum.
Starting point is 01:40:20 Back to the Trash Tayser. The British Museum in reverse. Yeah. We're very, very cool. Anyway, you should go meet her. That'd be cool. Anyway, sorry, carry on with your nonsense about these poisons that you want to speak. Drink the strong cereal.
Starting point is 01:40:33 So we got two or three different ideas. One of them is Natsky's bucket list. Yeah. Where he has... Smoke and drink and gamble every day. We have to look at 500 cigarettes. Chris, I see this book, Guinness World Record Smoking Master. We would have to look at the list first before filming it.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Second one is NASCAR meets round peg square hole sort of people. What? It's fascinating. They can fit the square in the circle of home. NASCII means weirose. NASC is an anomaly in Japan. We want to find anomalous individuals in the UK. people who are a bit outside the box, people who are, you know, don't necessarily fit into society in the way Natski doesn't fit in here.
Starting point is 01:41:18 The third option is, we rent Natski out. It's a modern-day slavery. We don't know this nonsense in Japan where it's like, you can rent people. It's like people think actually people do it when they don't, apart from if you're Connor. Didn't you rent a boyfriend for a day? I rented a mother and a sister and I rented a boyfriend. But that, but you can rent Natzky in the UK. You can rent a Japanese man.
Starting point is 01:41:43 Can I hold hands with him? You can, within reason. Within reason. You can smoke a cigar together. And, you know, people could like rent Natzky out in the UK and do stuff with him, time to your dad's funeral or team to your wedding or whatever that room. That's great. Only if you want, you know, if he wants to do it.
Starting point is 01:42:01 And so those are the three concepts. What do you think, guys? Which is best? I would love to see, like, basically the rental thing where you introduce him to basically, basically British culture. So basically we put the word out, we'd be like, you can rent a Japanese guy for a day.
Starting point is 01:42:13 Just tell us what you're going to do. Like 100 people were ever sending their applications. We go, that was cool, that was cool, that was cool. Done.
Starting point is 01:42:19 And then Natski lands. Off he goes to do that thing and spend a day with that person. And I think that could be quite an interesting series. Why don't we give Natski the UK experience? Me, Prince Andrew. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:42:35 Actually, it's just Andrew. Yeah. Your goal is simple. Get on the list. Go to Pizza Express in Woking Which I went to Pizza Express and working
Starting point is 01:42:45 No, you didn't. I did. You said you didn't go because I've been I went to I didn't die in there I didn't die in the pizza Express in Wakinge two weeks ago
Starting point is 01:42:53 Okay, did you go in there to eat What the fuck is it? Is it Buckingham Palace? I went two weeks ago Well I wanted it as a tangible excuse like Andrew had Okay I can't have done that
Starting point is 01:43:00 I was a piece of Express and Woking No, I could do that When I went to the McLaren headquarters in Woking I walked past the Pizza Express Express and I took a picture but you didn't go in there, did you?
Starting point is 01:43:10 I didn't go in. I went in. Okay, but I went in. What did you order? Slopi, Giuseppe. And the cheesy garlic. That's pretty good. That's a good pizza express.
Starting point is 01:43:20 I was hoping. I see what Andrew likes is so much. When I went there, I was kind of disappointing because I assumed that all the reviews, all the reviews would be about this fucking stupid interview Prince Andrew did. They'd be quoting it. But they were all like, it was a fantastic pizza express.
Starting point is 01:43:34 Oh, they're definitely deleting them. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah. That one. interview. Anyway. A public landmark. We could take NASCki. That could be the first place, NatSki guys. NASC spends a day working at Pizza Express in Wo-Tree.
Starting point is 01:43:48 He needs to play alibi for a famous... Pizza Express of the hard writer. It'll be a great video. But no, I need your help. Not you. But like you, viewers. What can we do for Natski? Two weeks in the UK. It's got to be entertaining. Any ideas gone?
Starting point is 01:44:08 You'll get loads. Do you want to rent that ski? Would you rent that ski for a day? A lot of diversity. In Wales, we could, and I thought about making you do this. We could use him as a bridge. What are you fucking? You were, there's an experience you can book
Starting point is 01:44:21 where you have to hike three hours into a deep cave system and then they've got huts in this deep cave. About a kilometer down. Okay. And you can stay there at the night. Why would you pay money to do that? Because you can go a kilometer into a cave. That sounds like a plot for a horror film.
Starting point is 01:44:36 Yeah, no thing. Is it not a horror film? There's no Wi-Fi or anything. You'd hate it. No, I'd love it. I'd take you to an onset with no Wi-Fi, fucking hour. You're like,
Starting point is 01:44:44 Oh, how will I live? No, no, no. I can't turn it on Twitter. What would I do? In this video, Chris exaggerated my internet addiction. Because at this point in time, Ballotro had just released.
Starting point is 01:44:55 So I had a steam deck with Ballotro. I didn't need internet. But then, like, the annoying part was that so I had like three meetings that I couldn't miss the next day. And I assumed it, they were all at like 9 and 10 a.m. Which is normally safe timing.
Starting point is 01:45:09 with Chris. Yeah. It's like, Chris doesn't wake up till 11. We don't shot shooting till. Fuck on. It takes the power of like warping time to get you up at age.
Starting point is 01:45:18 Normally, we don't do anything until 11 o'clock on a Chris shoot. It doesn't, like the meeting, it gets up late. So I thought,
Starting point is 01:45:29 okay, it's fine. I can always book meetings at nine. It'll be fine. So I booked this meeting that was like a really important meeting. And then the day we get there, Chris is like, I've got a special
Starting point is 01:45:39 surprise for you, Connor. And he won't tell me anything. Bear in mind, I always tell Chris everything that we're doing on my shoot, because I have to do it. It's boring. Otherwise, you won't tell me. You never surprised me. Fuck off.
Starting point is 01:45:47 You won't allow me to give a surprise. I'm surprised me with the train as well. Oh, fuck. See what I mean? It's all surprises. I can't surprise him. Anyway, so we go on the shoot and the day off, because it's like, oh, by the way, there's no Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 01:45:59 And I was like, all right. There's no electricity full stop. And I was like, okay, well, it's fine as long as there's a signal. Oh, there'll be no signal. I was like, oh, okay, fucking great. I didn't tell me that. Why didn't you fucking tell me? So now I can...
Starting point is 01:46:10 Surprise. And so he's telling me this, as we're driving up the fucking mountain, so I have 20 minutes to send all my texts off being like, sorry, guys, can't reply tomorrow. I'm just going to fuck off for 24 hours. So that's why I was annoyed. You can't do without internet, can't?
Starting point is 01:46:25 No, I've got to... Isn't he always on his fucking fame? Yes. Oh, my love. I'm being slanded. And then we heard of this onsane and Chris is like, great. They've got like three onsons that are all amazing outside. And we go in one of them.
Starting point is 01:46:39 And it's like, it's like maybe five degrees. And it's up to your like, maybe you're like, it just covers your dick if you're sitting down. And it's like five degrees. And they're like, see what I'm saying,
Starting point is 01:46:51 you are, Hatsuzia and I. I'm like, oh, great, wonderful. It was like sitting in a puddle. And then every other onsome was shared, which is fine.
Starting point is 01:47:01 But then it all just got really awkward because Japanese people don't want to be in consents of the people. Especially me. Especially me when I'm a fucking white boy. But then I remember the dinner. The dinner was the weirdest part of all
Starting point is 01:47:14 because it was like a communal experience where we were all in the same room facing a guy that was like, yesterday the fish was caught and we've cooked it for you. So please enjoy. And everyone was very quiet. Under candles.
Starting point is 01:47:28 Candle with dinner. And then you get in your room and it's like kerosene, kerosene, kerosene. Because you have to turn on this fucking heater. Yeah. And they were like, whatever you do, don't leave the heater on at night, because you'll die from like kerosene and inhalation.
Starting point is 01:47:39 So you turn it off, but it was in January, in the mountains of, where were we? Like, Almoy? It was like minus, it was like minus 15. And in my, in my rooms, we luckily, Chris, thank God, bought a room each. So we got basically, I took all the blankets of four people and used them for myself. I still woke up with like rig and mortis on my feet. Yeah, probably same. But it was a very fun experience.
Starting point is 01:48:04 I will say one of the best videos we've done. I love the Wacky Weekends. And I fucking hit my head on the fucking lamp like four times. You did it. You did it too. No, I didn't. Well, we should do Take it for Garnett. We should.
Starting point is 01:48:15 People like, you've been seen that for about five years. Yeah, but the problem was, when I joked about it, I didn't really know Garn that well. It would have been a bit awkward. And now, you know, I'm willing to torture. Yeah. In the same way, the other people have been. I've only heard amazing things. Just make sure you ask you.
Starting point is 01:48:32 You need to know what you get. into before you show up. You got a helicopter ride. Oh. Chris, the whole time, Chris is like, it's gonna crash. It's gonna crash. Did you know a helicopter? Yeah, it's an aerodynamic.
Starting point is 01:48:43 Chris, Chris, let me lay. It can't glide. If it crashes, it dies. I tell you would have heard it from Conno and Joe. I remember this fantastic story about how you made Joey sleep on a prison floor. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:56 Worst sleep of my life. I don't know about that. Yeah. He got the fucking bed. I've done the church experience where you're in the rest of an evil church, where the door, literally has a key item key.
Starting point is 01:49:05 You have to go like, to open the door. Shit in a porta potty in a graveyard. Ridiculous. I slept on the floor of a prison where the guy necked himself. Yeah. I was pretty naughty.
Starting point is 01:49:16 Yeah. And I found out a couple of hours before it was like, lights out. It's like 50-50. It's either five-star hotel or Goulag experience. Something of a five-star hotel for a while. At one time,
Starting point is 01:49:27 I've been living off that high. Yeah, I mean, it's tough, isn't it? I'm sorry. I got a fucking, it's a roulette wheel, and you like get the helicopter experience or the one-star prison experience. Bruce's price is right. I gave him a fucking samurai lord four-day experience of luxury. He's like, sorry, I can't afford a train. It's four quince.
Starting point is 01:49:51 It's like 25 grand, though, that castle. Oh, I know, yeah. You told me about this. Wait. It's nothing like best Sunday times bestseller can't afford the right. The problem is you don't want to be like, white guys have fun experience. I think so. I like that. It's just not fun, is it?
Starting point is 01:50:11 Yes, it is. I think it's very fun. No. But what's scary is, the helicopter arrived when it crashed recently. Did it actually? Oh, wonderful. So to top off my Gulag, Shoshank Redemption, shit tunneling experience, I could have died. I took Connor on an overnight sleeper train experience that he really,
Starting point is 01:50:32 for a lifetime. No, I actually liked it. It was good. Sure, he did. I actually liked it. You hated it. We took a helicopter ride over Mount Asso, and that helicopter crashed
Starting point is 01:50:40 inside the crater of Mount Asso a few weeks ago. Isn't that insane? Oh, I didn't hear about that. Do they have to clean out? What is the lava, do it? I don't think they can reach it because it's in the crater. It's actually insane.
Starting point is 01:50:51 So don't take the helicopter ride over the Mount Asso. My parents went to Mount Asso, I think, like, the day after. Really? And they weren't allowed to go up to the top of the mountain because they were like, oh, yeah, they're cleaning up a hell helicopter crash. I will say the coolest part of ASSO was the drive when you kind of get in the
Starting point is 01:51:08 crater. Yes. That was so sick. It's still, you know, still my favorite place probably in Japan to us about ASSO. I don't think the helicopter ride was nice, but honestly, the view from being inside that valley, you know when you drive into it and there's that big restaurant they've built in the it's kind of crazy because you're in this like almost like Final Fantasy looking area of like Hellscape. It's so cool. Mount ASSO has a black. sand volcanic desert on the summit. Yeah, that's the one. That's the one, yeah. It's really cool. It's like being on the, it's like being on Mars or something.
Starting point is 01:51:39 Incredible place. And the drive up, yeah. The drive up was so cool. I remember it looked like the UK with the like kind of narrow winding roads and the, would you recommend people go here? I recommend it more than anything. It's such an amazing place, but do not do the helicopter ride. I was driving off. I wasn't worried about the helicopter ride until the guy turned up and
Starting point is 01:52:02 a Pikachu outfit. He did wear a Pikachu. And I was like, I just don't think the helicopter company should have Pikachu guys. You know, I have a bit of a fear of flying after a horrible flight, which I've sort of gotten over in stages over the years. I did the Sesta thing with you over a volcano.
Starting point is 01:52:16 And we did the helicopter. I was like, this isn't aerodynamic. I'm scared. We pulled into the car park. Fucking guys in a Pikachu outfit. This isn't exactly Biggles. This is not good. This isn't like Captain Sully.
Starting point is 01:52:31 But the helicopter ride was exceptional and good. And the one that crashed, it was a... It was one that I did actually look at. Was he wearing a Pikachu out? Well, the one that crashed it was, there's like an animal zoo wildlife park. It's called a happy fucking animal park or something. Yeah, that's a real place.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Genuinely, it's called like Ferry Land or something really... Hurry land. It's a really stupid name for a park. Too fair, our pilot was really cool. He was a... Yeah, no, he was good. But there was this park and they had a helicopter ride. What's the safety factor of helicopters?
Starting point is 01:53:11 Because I swear, I swear to go on. Every time I hear about helicopters, it's about... It's about crashes. Yeah, I would not. And I don't think it's clear what happened with this helicopter. Why it went down? I also remember our helicopter pilot. Dude, ever since Kobe died, I'm never getting in one.
Starting point is 01:53:23 Our helicopter guy came over, and when he landed, he was like, oh yeah, I flew this from Hiroshima this morning. He's such a fatality rates of helicopters But the problem is I remember I looked up on a helicopter It was like, it's the most dangerous helicopter In the world And it was like, oh, brilliant, fantastic
Starting point is 01:53:40 Uh 0.6 to 0.77 It's very, very high. Significantly higher risk than commercial airlines Private airplanes have a higher rate of mortality There's one accident every 100,000 flights But I don't think they know why the one went down over assay might have been pilot era,
Starting point is 01:53:58 might have been the ass or something. I don't know. I remember that one that we did in Hawaii. That was fucking crazy. The one that you didn't know why. Yeah. The guy was like a Top Gun character. He rocked up with sunglasses.
Starting point is 01:54:11 And he was going up your engine. I love to go from a Pikachu outfit. Yeah. I mean, that guy exuded pilot energy when he rocked up. And then he started fucking doing flips and shit. He's crazy. What? You did a flip in a helicopter?
Starting point is 01:54:24 No, he was doing these crazy maneuvers there with it. that I were absolutely stupid. We raced across Hawaii and failed. Yeah, we, uh, this is on with, you aren't wearing like no other than that. Yeah, let's not, let's not, uh, let's not really. Yeah. Yeah, this is, you monetized.
Starting point is 01:54:42 The whole thing. Yeah, the whole thing's demonetized. Oh. Yeah. Because he got his fucking shmeat out. Be just, to be fair. I was playing the good sport here.
Starting point is 01:54:54 I didn't need to do that. I did it for the, God forbid my future kid is gonna see this one day. Oh, this is where you did the weird interview thing. What? You did like weird. Oh, the reality TV interview thing. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:11 Yeah. That was a fun shoot, though. Yeah, this was a fun shoot. I would have, I've never been in the helicopter before, so I don't know. I don't need to. You know what? There's some things in the world where I feel like I don't need to experience this. And I will say, though, it was really fun.
Starting point is 01:55:26 I was like, I'm scared. So would you do it again? Took off. If the pilot wasn't wearing a Pikachu outfit, I'll be like, let's go. Let's do it. What's he looks so ragged there? The fuck is wrong with Connor. I mean, he was ragged.
Starting point is 01:55:43 Is there any experience you've done in the time of you've filmed abroad in Japan, though, you'd never do again? The whole thing. The whole thing. Probably, yeah. Probably is. Did you do bungee jumping, marijuana? I wouldn't, no, he did it.
Starting point is 01:56:01 I watched, I filmed it. Oh, it was horrible. To me fair, I'm there with you. You couldn't pay me to bunch of jobs. Yeah. It just doesn't look like fun. It takes a certain special kind of person to do it, doesn't it? And he's special.
Starting point is 01:56:15 He did it like four times in a row. Oh, my. Yeah, I couldn't. Would you skydive? I don't know. See, there's a part of me that, like, theoretically, I think about it. I'm like, that would seem like fun. But if you actually told me, you're going to go skydiving in an hour,
Starting point is 01:56:29 I'd be like, oh, Kuala would do it. Yeah. Would you do it? Maybe. Yeah. It's a maybe. Would you bungee jump?
Starting point is 01:56:39 That's like 50-50. Find me on the day. Find me on the day. Fuck, I'm giving you my ideas. Depends on it. Take it if you go on to it. I feel, okay. Would you ever go deep sea diving?
Starting point is 01:56:54 Anything. What? Like, scuba diving. Yeah, scuba diving. Yeah, fuck yeah. I'd go scuba diving. too. I love that soon.
Starting point is 01:56:59 Yeah, I think I would. Although. So you don't have a fear of water? I mean, I really want my license. I've been asking out a few times, swam underwater, and it is a bit creepy because you can see like a fucking, around a thousand meters underwater.
Starting point is 01:57:13 Yeah. You think, if there's a shark coming at me, this is not going to be fun. I've got to see it for like 10 minutes and not be able to do anything. But I think it would be cool, yeah. Yeah, I think I would do it. Skydiving, no, bench jumping, no.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Why are you going to do bunch of? It was fun. It was fun. You couldn't pay me your bike. You did like the small bungee jump, it was like, it was a little one. I wouldn't care if it was five times
Starting point is 01:57:33 the length. It was awesome. So a few years ago, when just before COVID was happening, we were planning this Natsky thing in Europe, right? One of them was he was going to, he was going to jump off of the dam from Golden Eye, which is the Vesacee Dam in Italy.
Starting point is 01:57:50 And, but like, he was like, yeah, I'll do it, I'll do it. And then I showed him it and he was like, well, maybe, maybe you would do it. You would do it. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:58:36 Every last cyclathon, all he did was, it's ridiculous. They've gone up and fucking, she kisses. What her bitch? I was jealous that Katie Perry got to go to space. And instead of looking out the window. She went to low orbit, fucking bollets. No, she went above the Carmen line. That's space.
Starting point is 01:58:50 It's not higher than I've ever been. Oh, no, no, do it just space for six minutes. But the fucking loser. But the chicken jihad. He'd go to space without that. No, but she went to space and she spent it all holding up a daisy to a camera, rather looking at the window. It's not good enough.
Starting point is 01:59:06 Imagine Neil Armstrong did that. When on the moon is, I was just looking at my iPhone. Instead of look at the fucking me. Selfie. I would take a selfie. Watch TikTok reels. No, enjoy fucking space. TikTok reels, that's the three fingers.
Starting point is 01:59:20 Fucking like two dozen people have gone to space. Enjoy it. Save at the moment. Didn't do that. We don't need more people to go to space. Well, yes we do. You don't need to want. We don't need people to go to space. Why not?
Starting point is 01:59:30 Why not? Not right now. Why not? What the fuck does it achieve now? It's just going on here to be excited about. Go in the space. Yeah, get out of you. So we can sell another fucking war in space?
Starting point is 01:59:42 Go find some fun in outer space. There's oil up there. To be had. One of those planets has to have it. Do you not think we should go back to the moon? I mean, I think we should explore the moon. I don't think people should explore the moon. Isn't NASA's rocket going around the moon?
Starting point is 01:59:58 in the next few weeks. Yeah. So they're sending astronauts around the So you just don't want people there? What the fuck are we gonna do there? What a liability we are? What are we gonna do there? Would you not want to go into space into the moon?
Starting point is 02:00:10 No, not particularly. No? If you were asked to go to the moon, would you... Fuck off! Why would I go to the moon for what purpose? Do you think we should send people to Mars? Now? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:22 Fuck no. Depends who it is. Like, there's no value to sending you on a month. value to sending someone to Mars right now. There was no value sending someone to the moon originally. It's no fucking... Propaganda. There's no Wendy's on Mars.
Starting point is 02:00:35 What are you going there for? I will open the first Wendy's in space. Elon Musk, he's giving up his dream recently, isn't he, of going to Mars? I mean, I think... The dream was... I think we're going to Mars, and now he's like, ah, it's effort, isn't it? Absolutely, I think we should expand into space travel, but I think right now, sending someone to Mars or Moon, even,
Starting point is 02:00:53 is just a show of power. Not even Katie Perry? Well. You don't want to send them to Mars? Yeah, they can have fucking teenage dream. I don't fucking want to listen to it. But she made raw. You send the robots that can work the robots that comes full circle.
Starting point is 02:01:11 Send those. Send them that can work. Send the Chinese robots. And then that's the future. We send a hundred of them. And then we make a TV show. Whoever's last to survive. We give them free will.
Starting point is 02:01:25 The last robot to back flee. We give them sentience. We let them be free. We freed them. Kind of allah hunger games, but with robots. No, I mean, like, just send more fucking robots to do some shit.
Starting point is 02:01:39 Yeah, the clanky games. Mr. Bees did it. No, I mean, like, it's like, what are we going to do if we send another guy up? For what, like, isn't, you know,
Starting point is 02:01:45 what a waste? Mr. Bees going to space, isn't he? Oh, he's going to the fucking sewers in Resident Evil. I don't know. What are he doing? He's making bullocks.

Starting point is 02:04:40 Most of the walls fucked. It's like a brick on a bit of wood. It's like it's fucking shit. But it's beautiful. Nice save. I'm already fucked. I said, I said, I can't be ridiculous. Bits of the wall were like crumbling and fucked up.
Starting point is 02:04:59 And I remember I was physically sick on it and I felt really bad. Because I ran up the wall too fast. Ran up the wall too fast. Like a willing-walker character redeeming his golden dick and, Oh yes, fast, I want to go up secret far! I basically ran, I was in a tour group
Starting point is 02:05:16 and I wanted to show off and I ran up the wall, got to the top. And there was a man who was like, would you like the water? And I just went blare. All over the wall. like a fountain. And I thought, what have I done to the Great Wall? What have I done? Well, it's a beautiful place. Good place. It's all right. I think it was, you see the
Starting point is 02:05:36 video on it recently, right? On like the West's greatest fear. It was talking about humanoid robots and China. It was fascinating the comments of which they were more than normal. Well, like, either China's coming for us all or it's all a pack of lies. China's not real. It's built the House of Cars. Sorry. I'm sorry to stop. It's all CGI. I don't think they are Cig. I don't think They are CGI on it, though. Yes, I'm sure they took a few takes and it might not be exactly what we've seen on those films. But the robots are clearly quite good. We should probably be like, a bit worries.
Starting point is 02:06:07 I know it's real. I've been to change off. Fuck. Oh, my God. This is... We're not getting out of this episode. And you go worried about St. Pikey once. Fuck it out.
Starting point is 02:06:24 Oh, God. This is the new era of trash. This is the can unfortunately for me to get the cancel taste. Yeah, they got a 50-50 chance and you fucked it. It's crazy because they have a great snow festival. I want to go see it. This trash says we cancelled ourselves speedball. Butter chicken jihad.
Starting point is 02:06:44 I mean, that's what I thought it fucking said on the street. Butter chickens. You think in the Dune universe. I'm sure I've been to a restaurant. Butter chicken jihad. I'm sure I've been. been to a restaurant when that was a spike level? No, you have not.
Starting point is 02:06:56 Tell me the restaurant. It was in Wales. No, you know, it was in Wrexham. Trust me. How many of the seven wonders have you been to, Chris? I don't even know what the seven wonders are. Do you know the seven wonders, Chris? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:07:09 Is it Machu Picchu? Machu Picchu? Pyramids. Is it ancient wonders? Because ancient wonders is a whole. Yeah, I'd say ancient wonders. And Pyramids is the only one of the ancient wonders that exists, I think. Machu Picchu is still there?
Starting point is 02:07:20 That's not ancient one there. Oh, you mean like ancient one is being like the lighthouse of Alexandria. Yeah, the library of, the library of Alexander. The lighthouse. No, there was a big fucking, there was definitely a lighthouse. There was a lighthouse. No, no, no, I know there was a lighthouse. But I.
Starting point is 02:07:41 The library of Alexandria. Yeah, the library of Alexandria. That counts as a wonder. It's a burning. It's an ancient wonder. Oh, fuck on. So the, so. Yeah, that's not I say.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Most of them are gone. My name is shit. the Garden of Fuck. Eden. No. Babylon. Eden. The Garden of fuck.
Starting point is 02:08:00 God for the game. David. Garden of Babylon. Was that in Iraq? Yeah, Iran, right? Yeah. It's an oil refinery now. It got blown up there then.
Starting point is 02:08:11 No, the fucking... We're smart. We can figure this out. Yeah, okay. No, not the ancient wonders. We got this. Modern wonders. Modern wonders.
Starting point is 02:08:20 The modern wonders. The modern ones. So, March of Pichu, Machu Picchu, China? What is the Royal Chang? Did you say China? China?

Starting point is 02:08:39 Chong Ching. I think it was Chung King, but I got mixed up with Chung King Express. This is a hard, this is also an unfortunate name. Because this is like how my granddad would make fun of, like, being a shitty racist back in the way. It's your grandpa? your grandpa? Yes,
Starting point is 02:08:51 me. It's me. I'm not you. Uh, take you. Uh, taste a question, gone,

Starting point is 02:09:16 Yeah. Oh, it is a wonder? must be. It deserves to be a wonder. It's also the most underwhelming wonder It is the most You're like
Starting point is 02:09:23 Underwhelming I took you to stay in hand Yeah it was shit Oh It's just It's just a bunch of rocks Yes No it's an ancient wonder
Starting point is 02:09:30 Oh it's an ancient wonder No it's cool though Navvy What are the seven wonders Of the ancient world Apart from the pyramids Yeah Seven ancient wonders

Starting point is 02:09:49 Pyramines of Giza Temple of Artemis. Yeah. Colossus. Fucking Lighthouse. I told you, bastard. Mosoleum. The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Starting point is 02:09:58 Colossus of Rhodes. Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I'm guessing that statues no more. They got fucked, didn't it? When did they get broken? Why? It's not the library of Alexandria. No, it's the lighthouse.
Starting point is 02:10:10 Damn. It's like great about this lighthouse. They did they? They did have books back then, did they? They did have books back then. That was the whole point. It was apparently. putting back civilization like centuries
Starting point is 02:10:22 because of the knowledge that was lost. I think the lighthouse, uh, the glass that they made was like so far beyond to make the refraction was like so ahead of its time. Oh, so the pyramids are the only ones that are still there.
Starting point is 02:10:36 rubbish, shouldn't it? All the rest of them are gone. But could it take a fucking bomb? I learned about the pyramids in the Mr. Beast video. Went in there, didn't he? Yeah, it's not wondering more because of that.
Starting point is 02:10:45 That's how I learn about things. Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus of Roads. Remains found underwater in 1994. Damn. And your favourite, Christopher Nolan's got a film coming out. Yeah, I know. Set in that era.
Starting point is 02:11:01 Yeah. Are you excited? I'm very excited. Protagonist of Greece. I don't know. It's the Odyssey. The Odyssey is a fantastic story. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:12 Yeah. That's fun. It's a cool story. Yeah. It's a banger. Yeah, I remember learning about that. I just worry they've got American accents. I think that's a bit of an...
Starting point is 02:11:23 You know... You fucking one, what, you see? You're not going to cross this fucking lake. Fucking Cyclops, piece of shit. Denzel Washington can get away with Gladiator too, then, you know. Yeah, that's true. Did you like Denzel and Gladiator? He was good, but the film was rubbish.
Starting point is 02:11:40 The first Gladiator's a fucking cracker. I mean, you can't compete. It's a banger. Yeah. Banger. Russell Crow's second best film after LA Confidential. Who's the actor who played his... Paul Muskell.
Starting point is 02:11:52 The coach, the, like, aiding coach in the original movie. The guy of the trainer. Oh, uh... Like a legendary British actor who died quite a while ago. Shit. I love him. On Trash Tastes, we spoke about it,
Starting point is 02:12:04 because... Because he's in... He's in Oliver, isn't he? Yeah, I watched that movie, and then I went to his Wikipedia page, and it was one of the wildest reads. Oliver Reed? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:12 Oliver. Oh, that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And his Wikipedia page was like, like, the fucking highlights of the British training. Yes, I was. Was he the guy who was. Well, see the guy.
Starting point is 02:12:20 who died halfway through the filming? Yes, because he got drunk one night. He, like, drunk some sailors on it. And it had to, like, CGI him. He drank some sailors under the table, then he died. His story of, like, his drunken escapades are, like, legendary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Met like, Dean Martin.
Starting point is 02:12:33 He made him, like, drink, like, 15 bottles of champagne. It was fucking ridiculous. He's an absolute monster. That's what I aspire to be. I aspire to be. My hero. When the crowd. Went the freedom in your freedom.
Starting point is 02:12:46 Was it? Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Yeah, yeah. When your crowd. He was so good, good, though.
Starting point is 02:12:53 When your freedom. Fucking amazing. But there's so many good, like, actors like that back in the day that I feel such a good presence. Who we got now? Timothy Shalmy. Fucking ballet. Listen, you know, Robbins.
Starting point is 02:13:08 Robert's holding it down. Robert can't, fuck you. He's all right, but he was in that film that wasn't that good last year, whatever it was. Mickey 17. Yeah, I mean, okay, to be fair, he was the best part of that film. The film was pretty rubbish. Well, yeah, because Mark Ruffler's character was like
Starting point is 02:13:23 Shish Trump. I don't know if I like him as Batman. I don't like him as Batman. I didn't like him as Batman. That movie was so boring. It was pretty boring. The cinematography, top notch, love it. Yeah, but the story's like, you know, I liked it. Compared to Nolan, where it's like, you're like, fucking strapped at your seat.
Starting point is 02:13:41 No, but Nolan's film, Dark Night Rises, Dark Night, whatever. It wasn't, it was just amazing. Yeah, I remember 2008 when that came out, I saw in a cinema in Vancouver, my auntie. And I remember the whole fucking time I was like gripping the seat, ripping the chair to bits,
Starting point is 02:13:56 because it was so intense. I don't think I've ever seen a film quite as insane as dark night. You've never watched it. I've never watched it. I've never watched The Wales adventure. The Wrexham story. Big Wrexham.
Starting point is 02:14:08 No, I remember being like, this is insane. Everything about this film is incredible. Yeah. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. And I don't think I've ever had that sensation sense. Cats?
Starting point is 02:14:18 see the Ovidry A Crane Day yeah exactly you know like the first time you see the dark night the dark night you're like okay wow because every moment the film it ratchets up
Starting point is 02:14:31 you know just as you think it can't get better Harvey Dent has his face blown off and becomes an insane motherfucker is that the best Nolan film in your opinion yeah
Starting point is 02:14:41 yeah yeah it's up there no he is he is he is inception's banger love it I've grown a big love for
Starting point is 02:14:49 interstellar Interstell's great. It's good. It's good. Probably my favorite Nolan film posts, because I fucking, I was disappointed watching that in theaters. Yeah, the first time I watched, I went, that's cool.
Starting point is 02:15:01 Yeah. But I have definitely, like, yeah, I've got, yeah. I think it's gone by. The music is the real standard. The music, yeah. I think Matthew McConaughey is good, but he's not the bit you remember. No, I don't. Yeah. I think it could have been. In fact, there's no characters that really stand
Starting point is 02:15:17 out in it. It's more the epic scale of the story. Yeah. Timothy Chalemines, isn't it? Your favorite. Oh, he is. He's the kid.
Starting point is 02:15:25 I fucking forgot that shit for a second. Damn. He looks so young in it. It's kind of fun. You're like, wow, he's like 12. Yeah. No, I could leave.
Starting point is 02:15:34 But no, I'd say the Dark Night still has more like edge of your seat level shit. And every character. I mean, even Batman beginnings. Pretty good with Batman begins.
Starting point is 02:15:45 Batman beginnings. I have four beers. Batman begins. Is Heath Ledger the best Joker? Yeah. Yeah. Obviously. No question.
Starting point is 02:15:54 It's not, you know, it's like, you know, it's, you know, everyone that was obsessed with him, but like, nobody's come close to it, really. Jack Nicholson was, like, a bit campy and silly and not. Jack Nicholson's Joker had its moments. Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson, though. It was being funny. Did you watch Joker, too?
Starting point is 02:16:09 No. Nobody watched Joker, too. No. Did you watch it? No. No. Okay. Folly adieu.
Starting point is 02:16:13 We don't talk about that one. But like... Was it just a musical? No. Most of it was just like a musical. No, it was a musical. It wasn't all a musical, though. Good chunk of it, apparently.
Starting point is 02:16:23 Yeah. I wouldn't know. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I didn't see it. I didn't seem to. But it was like, right, he'd finish the greatest act of our time.
Starting point is 02:16:29 And then Napoleon, then that came out. I was like, he's not. It's quite impressive because the original Juker made something like a billion dollars, right? I like the first joker. And then the first one? He won an Oscar? He won an Oscar? He didn't make anything.
Starting point is 02:16:41 Probably, yeah. That's because it was just very badly reviewed. Yeah, yeah. Is that incredible, though? Because off the back of Joker 1, you think, oh, anybody would watch the sequel to that? Yeah. The reviews were so bad.
Starting point is 02:16:55 No one asked for it. I think also there's a massive, like, weird following for that movie online. And I think the guy behind the, I don't know, the creator behind it, the second movie was very much trying to be like, you guys are the weirdos. Right. It just ended up not really, pleasing anyone because they were
Starting point is 02:17:12 I don't know though I feel like honestly review scores have much more of an effect I feel like also do yeah I feel like there's a lot of like controversy on social media that I don't know how much of an effect it actually has I think social media
Starting point is 02:17:28 I think when I heard it was a musical I was like that yeah exactly it doesn't need to happen yeah and I hate musicals unless it's the original William Lincoln unless it's the original Broaden Japan musical you know you don't like
Starting point is 02:17:41 You don't like any musicals? No, Willie Wonka. Willie Wonka. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Original. Yeah. There's chocolate. And there's chocolate.
Starting point is 02:17:50 Have you seen Hamilton? Yeah. So, doing, Halton's great. But they have, um, Hamilton. That sounds like a real estate company. Have you watched K-pop demon hunters? I'm so curious.
Starting point is 02:18:00 I love it. I love all the demons. Do you think he looks like a motherfucker that's why I wanted to know. I love all the, you can pay him to watch that hunting. I love it all. I can not imagine a future where...
Starting point is 02:18:13 You watched it. Yeah. But you watched it. We've all watched it. Do you like it? Yeah. It was good. It was dumb fun.
Starting point is 02:18:20 Yeah. It's good. Not a Chris film. Not a definitely. Definitely not a Chris film. I appreciate it for what it was. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 02:18:27 Yeah. One to ten. Eight? Yeah, I'd say eight. Yeah. I should watch it. Yeah. And I this comes to...
Starting point is 02:18:34 What is it? I don't know anything about it. It's in the title, mate. K-pop, demon, hunters. I'm so curious because it's like, The energy of it is just like everything you hate. And it's got, it is like Gen Z energy to like a fucking T. Imagine a YouTube short, but it's an hour and a 30 minutes.
Starting point is 02:18:51 Yes. That's basically what that is. That's a pretty good description. It's a YouTube short for an hour and a half. What do you want this? And I know Chris, you love K-pop. You'll love it. I'm all right.
Starting point is 02:19:09 I'm right. I'll practice. I'm already pretty fucking drunk I'm already saying Chinese names wrong and racist apparently May you do that sober I was the first guest on Trash Tasteaste

If you're, yeah, if your King Chong comment doesn't make the best moment awards, nothing, though. Oh, fuck, dude. What else has happened on trash days recently? Not that caliber. You caught a jihad.

Starting point is 02:21:45 What are Chinese are you from? Damn. Must be nice. Okay. What else do we have going on? What are you broken trash taste? I'm not broken trash. You're broken trash taste.
Starting point is 02:22:02 You're broken long before this. If you had a year to live, what would you do? A year? Yeah, rename John James. How would you do that? I would campaign theorist next.
Starting point is 02:22:17 Absolutely. About a year to live. I mean, realistically. You got what day is it? Today is the 19th of March. You got one of you live. Go, what do you do? Watch Natky the movie to it.
Starting point is 02:22:30 The good thing is it might come out in August. We start following August. It might come out in time. It's hard to say, really. What would you do, Chris? Clearly you have an idea. No, clearly you have an idea because you brought it up. I've no fucking idea.
Starting point is 02:22:48 Chicken G-hard on my stomach. Yeah. If you're going to go, it might as a big spicy chicken. Don't shorten his name. No, don't do. Oh, fuck. Disrespect the go. What would you do?
Starting point is 02:22:58 I don't know what I would do. I have not thought about this. What you got to do? What do you think is on Natski's bucket list since you've got to prepare some of a pretty boring bucket list. Because how old is he's known? Because everybody asked him. And he's like, I want to go guitar shop in London.
Starting point is 02:23:10 It's like, that's not content, mate. I need, I need, I need, think like Mr. Bixie. Sorry, your dream is a bit fucking boring. Yeah. Because you come up with a better fucking life. He was like your bucket away. He was like, you got a year to live
Starting point is 02:23:21 and you want to go to a fucking guitar shop It was really weird He was like, I want to buy a jumper in Romania And I'm like, what is this list? Is this insane list? You know they make great jumpers? I want a jumper in Romania. That's not content, mate.
Starting point is 02:23:35 I need to think like Mr. Beast here. Help me out, Natski. When you leave the circle. Do I tell you, when Natski, we once did a thought experiment, we were like, Natski, if you were prime minister, what policy would you enact? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:48 In Japan. Yeah. And he said, he sort of thought for a few seconds, he went, I give everybody, souvenir jumper. I was like, that's a great idea. A souvenir jumper for what? Well, because when winter rolls around, you can stay warm, isn't it? I was like, I don't know what would be on the suit.
Starting point is 02:24:05 He didn't specify what would be on the souvenir jumper. But he's like, everybody, souvenir jumper. And he said it was such conviction. He clearly thought long and hard at some point in his life. I can't believe the current prime minister has not done this year. Takachi. Takeachi, get on it.
Starting point is 02:24:21 Everybody's souvenir jumper. Give us all our souvenir jumpers. I would love a souvenir jumper. Oh, I think. Yeah. No. Government man, David's souvenir jump. Because when they gave me the face mask here,
Starting point is 02:24:30 they were like, it was like a maxi pad. It was like, it was like, it was covered just my lips. It was like, he's got a sponge bob bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:37 They'd be like four ties of two small fists. Your arms would just be too. I'd be like, I'd have the quadruple X out. They're like, oh. Yeah, souvenir transfer. Tramist.
Starting point is 02:24:46 Yeah, and they wouldn't come up. Yeah, one year to live. What are you going to do? Start a business. Right. Why? So I can run it into the grounds. You'd be too dead to enjoy it.
Starting point is 02:24:56 Well, no, I'd start the business, and I would absolutely go bankrupt. But I would be very flagrant with the spender ship. What the fuck? You can be flagrant with it. You do that anyway. But I have to fix it. I have to pay the money. Did you not want to go somewhere?
Starting point is 02:25:12 Where would I go? Romania. Bora Bora. Oh, actually, it's quite good. Yeah. Fuck. I guess I could go. to...
Starting point is 02:25:19 Change on. I've never been to Chile. Chile? Chile. Why Chile? Why not? Wait, do we say chili or Chile?
Starting point is 02:25:31 Chile? Because America, they say Chile. We should we say chili? We say chili in the UK. But obviously it sounds... Why is fucking doing American accent? It sounds like a fucking food when I say chili.
Starting point is 02:25:39 Isn't it pronounced Chile? It's Chile, isn't it? In America, it's Chile. No, no, I think it's correct. It's Chile. Why this thing is correct? Do you know that it's correct? Because Chile sounds like fucking food.
Starting point is 02:25:48 We say aluminium. How do people in Chile pronounce Chile? Yeah, but... Chili. Okay. Okay. That's not how to bring up. Top one.
Starting point is 02:25:58 Is Chile pronounced chili or Chile? Chile. Yeah. Drop down. Right there. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:26:05 Fuck sake. Can you just give us a fucking answer? There is. There you go. There's in English as chili. Yeah, it's probably with wetties. While most Spanish pronounce it. Chila.
Starting point is 02:26:16 But I'm not fucking Spanish. Spanish don't pronounce Reximers. Yeah, but it's like, you go, you go, you go, hey guys, what we're going to
Starting point is 02:26:23 a New York? Just like we're going to Osaka. We're going to Kyoto. That's how I speak. And we're going to fucking Naisiko.
Starting point is 02:26:32 That's how I speak. You don't sort of like that. You just like a fucking moron. Do you think Japan should even be called Japan or should we use like the name? Yeah, should we change it to
Starting point is 02:26:42 Nihon? It should be abroad in Nihon. Really, shouldn't it? It's kind of fucked up. Yeah. Abroad in Nippon. Abroad in the pond, it would be good. I've been toying with changing my channel name to just like, a broad.
Starting point is 02:26:56 Chris. Going back to our previous discussion. Yeah, I think it's good. Because everyone's bored of Japan content now. A fraud in Japan. A fraud in Japan. Well, you've had a good, like, what, decades in Japan? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:12 I recently changed my Twitch channel name. Oh, God. Here we go. And so did Pete. Sea Dog. Yeah, Pete. I think Pete was better. it's Premier T.
Starting point is 02:27:19 Oh my God. What are you talking about? He was the number one hater of Premier 2 as the name. Yeah, but then he should have stuck with it. No, I disagree. Peter is a sick name to have on Twitch. All right, C-Dog VA.
Starting point is 02:27:31 Seedog on Twitch. What would you do if you had a year? You've had a year. You left. You need to answer this as well. No, I'm going around. Eat all the food, didn't it? Eat all the food.
Starting point is 02:27:42 I'm with him on this one. Yeah, just get fat as far. I'm fucking carb loading for an entire year, man. So Chris has already done that. What's there left to do? Is it a good plan? I'm asking. I'm being like,
Starting point is 02:27:58 Brendan Fraser at the end of the whale. The whale. Like at the end of my year, man. Leave my wife. I'd be like, ban to my children. Give me like six months from my liver, man. So you've won in your lap.
Starting point is 02:28:10 What are you doing? You'd resurrects Toys Ruz. Brimbat. Robot works. Bring that choice of ass. There's no happiness anymore. I've built a robot that can survive
Starting point is 02:28:23 a thousand years. The Chinese have already done that. That's the reason why the butter chicken jihad came about. I don't know. I think by... In the universe
Starting point is 02:28:32 because there's robot. Yeah, I would renown myself to butter chicken jihad and cause chaos. I think I'd travel a lot. I think I'd... You already do that. Wow, you've really pushed the boat out.
Starting point is 02:28:43 Where we go? I've got every country in the world. That sounds like a missed challenge. It does sound like a Miss the Beast Challenge. I went to every country in the world. I get a six-pack. Just to show you.
Starting point is 02:28:52 This reminds you of when, like, Riotrero was like, oh yeah, I just went to Uzbekistan. He did do that. And we were like, yeah, he went to Uzbekistan. Yeah, last year. Yeah, for a family vacation.
Starting point is 02:29:01 What? Because his wife wanted a game. And apparently Uzbekistan, I've noticed this, has been running a bunch of ads in Japan advertising Uzbekistan to Japanese people. Does he pay money then on that? What is there to do in his...
Starting point is 02:29:14 Well, I think the problem is that, unfortunately, Jerry, a lot of family people can't afford to get anywhere else And Uzbekistan is a formidable option I'm serious And it could be You can't go anywhere Is Japan
Starting point is 02:29:24 It's useless Yeah Uzbekistan like Yeah you can get a twig A twig He's a
Starting point is 02:29:33 He's a mystery Why he chose Uzbekistan But at the same But at the same I'm not He's back To be fair
Starting point is 02:29:40 It's back Stahl Looks kind of fun I'm down Also But it's just not what you think That's which
Starting point is 02:29:44 To be Uzbekistan I'll do it The desert country. Fuck yeah. He also has the bragging rights to say he's been to his Bekistan. Because do you know anyone else who's been to his Bek-State?
Starting point is 02:29:54 Yeah. It sounds fun. I just want to know what's there. It's beautiful as well. Yeah, what's there to do? What's there to do? Temple and a market. He's like, I went to a market.
Starting point is 02:30:02 We ate some grapes. I was like, oh, cool. Such frivolous activities. That was incredible. What would you do if you had a year? Same, probably just travel. Oh, God. So lame, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:30:16 Rubbish. rubbish. All right, I'll rename myself to butter chicken jihad caused chaos in ching chong. Is that the answer you want? I would start turmoil online. Oh, you left. Too late. I'm not going to see it.
Starting point is 02:30:27 Too late. Why too late? Because you said chinchon. This is the mindset, though. I'm trying to think by going forward. Yeah. Because I feel like I'm 36 in every year. Every year's your last year.
Starting point is 02:30:40 He's running a fucking cyclothom with you getting runny by lorries. Like I nearly did the last week. one. You ran into the lorry. The lorry didn't see me coming. Anyway, I kind of like, what do you do now? What happens next? You know? And, uh, what happens next? What happens next?
Starting point is 02:30:59 Are you looking for a sequel to life? Well, you know, I feel like I've done a lot of cool shit. Yeah. I met Ken Watanap here. That's why you're doing it. Yeah, and you've filmed this closed picture shop. I met Prince Andrew at Leeds Castle. Oh shit. When I was serving in Prince.
Starting point is 02:31:14 You've met all the goats. You know, they were like, Elon Musk, too. There's a connection going on here, Chris. He's weirdly into the P-Sexper. Everybody fucking came to Lee's Castle. Okay, okay. Everybody did.
Starting point is 02:31:28 They came to you. You offered something that I couldn't look it out. I think you're framing it, the question you're framing it like, damn, how can I like? Well, I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. Yeah. Well, mid-like, but I've already come back. Three-quarters like that. deep in this.
Starting point is 02:31:48 You don't even have kids yet, Chris. I remember last year I said to Sean, I think I'm having a midlife crash. She's like, you're not at the middle yet? I'm like, I've long gone past the middle. Honey, we've got past the middle. I've got my weight back.
Starting point is 02:32:00 And it's like, what, what do you do? Which a perfect retirement? Like, but like, you know, it's fucked up. I don't think I would retire. I think I'd get bored, you know. I'd just be like, why did Winston Churchill live so long? That's incredible.
Starting point is 02:32:13 What the fuck you? What? Winston Churchill. He was 90 years old. I really want to do this video with Chris. We try and drink like and live a Winston Churchill day. I don't think you'll survive.
Starting point is 02:32:27 But the thing is is that he smokes like five cigars a day. Yeah. And he drank like... His breakfast was whiskey. It was like, yeah. He would drink a whole bottle of champagne for lunch. A whole bottle of like...
Starting point is 02:32:39 It's like one trash taste episode. He'd have a strong beer out. Like the shit he did. And he lived until 19. I'm like, I just don't think life is fair. He's not fair. How did he live till 19? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:32:51 And apparently he was the whole weight of World War II was on his shoulders. And he was pretty, like, lucid until that time. Try it out. How many had, like, cocaine and stuff? And he took a lot of drugs. So sick. Oh, same way. So sick.
Starting point is 02:33:00 Maybe he took so many things that he found the perfect balance. Maybe he was like the Mr. Burns with the disease. He found the burning. You smoke so many things that you just, you're so sick that you can die. They all just, all the toxins just balanced each other else. Yeah, maybe. Maybe you're right. You should smoke.
Starting point is 02:33:19 What? Every kilometer we smoke a cigarette. It's like 100 kilometers a day. 500 cigarettes. That's almost as much next to space. Fucking hell. But yeah, no, it's as you get older, as I've done. Fucking how you've done it.
Starting point is 02:33:43 You've done it well. It's like, Chris, we're a few months are hard. A part. A hard. A hard. Look, we've had a lot of drinks. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 02:33:51 How many old frees? Wait a minute. You've lied to me. You were like, I've drinking too. I didn't have lunch. Fuck off. A hard. A hard.
Starting point is 02:33:59 A two pieces of chicken. There's a chicken right there. Look at my plate. Look at my plate. We're a few months are hard. It's like, what, what direction? What do you do? Where do you go?
Starting point is 02:34:10 What do you take your career? If you had to start again, YouTube from today. You've nothing, no connections, nothing, just the knowledge that you have now. What would you do? Would you succeed if you restart the YouTube today? I think I would. Like you, sounds so incompetent. No, because I have an unfair advantage.
Starting point is 02:34:33 As a kid, I love making amateur videos and dicking about the camcorder. And I used to, and I taught myself to edit at the age of like 12. So I love doing it at that age. Right. And I think I would have carried that three. still would have figured it out even if. But I have it. I love films and I studied it and I wanted to be a filmmaker. I, you know, I wasn't just like, I come here as a teacher. I'm going to vlog.
Starting point is 02:34:51 It was kind of like, I wanted to be a filmmaker. I threw the dream in the bid. And then I moved to Japan. And then I was like, oh, wait, I can make videos again now. Joe. The guys are doing something interesting. What about you? What?
Starting point is 02:35:03 Same question to you. Uh, no. Gone? What was the question? If you, if you started today as YouTube, right? Yeah. Clean slate. You have to start.
Starting point is 02:35:13 YouTube channel, Gigoke, today. But you don't have any connections or anything. All you have is the knowledge of like Gigok. Yeah. You knew everything, the masterclass. Would you succeed? Yeah, because you would cover anime again, and there's not that many things do it.
Starting point is 02:35:32 It's easy. No one's making anime content now. They've tried. Lord knows they've tried. But then, you know, if you're coming to Japan as a creator and you want to do Japan content, you have to go through the gaudela. of twatty content. Like, it's a vending machine.
Starting point is 02:35:47 Day of my life. Yeah, that's why I said no. Because it's like, I don't like that kind of content. That's the sort of paradox. You have to make obnoxious twatty content. I couldn't bring myself to do it. There's also a lot of like, you know, you need a lot of money as well.
Starting point is 02:35:59 It's kind of expensive to do some of these things. Well, you just come over a teacher like I did and just do it on your free time. Yeah, but that was back when you could just film your fucking living room and be like, it's a fucking chair. It's a mirror. The daily life of a salary. A day.
Starting point is 02:36:12 Broad Japan was much more than that. So I saw you react to my video. I love I always seen Conner ranting about me in one of his fucking clips. What the fuck you talking about? Who didn't get me the five-star trade experience? No, because... This train that was seen as unachievable.
Starting point is 02:36:31 Unachievable. No, I told you was achievable. We just cost a lot of money. How much? Like 20 grand. And that... You could spend 20 grand. No friend is worth 20 grand.
Starting point is 02:36:39 So maybe American Pete? What the fuck? Why is Pete worth worth $1? worth 20 grand. He's a good lad at that p. So he didn't buy this train for me that he promised to me by the way. I'm still working. He still might happen. Knife guard. Knife guard.
Starting point is 02:36:52 Knife guard. That was like a fucking sleigh fire. Nightguard? I don't know. She made a video doing this train. She was like, it cost me $9,000. I was like, she did my lottery system. Oh, so you're two-decent-law. Which is like, you might get it, might not. I could guarantee the train, but it was going to be like $20,000. Start applying.
Starting point is 02:37:09 No. Why can't we do the train? Because it's money not well spent. world is burning I'm not going to get your fucking stupid train experience the world is burning is your excuse for not taking me on this but like any solution that's just like throw money at it that's not good in my books I think oh
Starting point is 02:37:26 I think originality oh shit what the hell are you talking about you are the number one proprietor of throwing money at the problem what I'm talking about when fuck off my wacky weekends
Starting point is 02:37:40 or journeys or whatever you just want to talk What's for me? Ingenuity. Originality. Anybody can go, always a five-star fucking hotel
Starting point is 02:37:47 and throw money in it. Which you've done. But I know, quite for free. We got it for free. I don't pay you. We didn't get it for free. I remember we met Alistair.
Starting point is 02:37:57 He was the very fancy British man who ran the hotel. I didn't know that name was real. I didn't think people actually were called that. It's like, I run this hotel. What do you need? Tell me, I'll get it done. And you were like, you're like,
Starting point is 02:38:10 it's no, he's beef. Make sure there's no end to snow age people. I just don't think throwing money is good. I disagree. Well, you should throw your money. Yeah. But like the trash day special. You throw money at like a Switzerland trip.
Starting point is 02:38:24 Yeah. That's cool. What's different? The train is very cool. What's stopping you from making your abroad and Japan film? Bulls. I have no balls. Well, you know, you did it, right?
Starting point is 02:38:35 You put your money where your mouth is you spent a lot of time on it. Yeah. It's a daunting, scary thing. I have, I'm at a point in my life where I have, I have, sort of resources and to sort of pull it off to some extent. Yeah. I have the there is nothing stopping me except
Starting point is 02:38:50 the will to do it and the fear of jeopardising everything else. So you just... You have to sort of write off six months plus. Yeah. Well, you wrote your second book. You said yes to one of the most stressful times in your life. Yeah, did you not jeopardise months for that? Yeah, but like coming up with an idea for a film that is good, that excites you
Starting point is 02:39:09 enough to really go for it. Like, take fun. That was a... like a really original awesome idea. Oh, thank you. If I was going to do a film, I wouldn't want to be like, he wakes up at 9 a.m. And there's a shot. But I think you'd have to be like something.
Starting point is 02:39:22 Do you know what drove me? I had an opportunity where an anime producer just said, hey, do you have an idea? And I just lied and said, yes. And I had two weeks to come up with it. That's fucking awesome. I mean, I think, like, you don't, the idea is never going to be that lightning in a bottle.
Starting point is 02:39:36 It's always going to be a fly. Also, you've told me ideas for, like, films that you want to make. Yeah. And, like, I've always thought they were good ideas. To be fair, I've got one idea that I thought up two years ago and I still like it enough that I would consider it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:47 But why do you need hundreds of thousands of dollars? Oh, yeah. All right, fucking. Well, it depends what you want to do. Also, mate, you fucking saved at least 30K on the train. You can fucking put that to me. Fuck off. Get the fucking train budget towards it.
Starting point is 02:40:01 You have a pressure. It would require hundreds of thousand dollars. And also, a film involves lots of people. You would have found out with Dan, you've got a whole team working on it. Yes. And that pressure, of not letting down the team is quite a scary thing.
Starting point is 02:40:16 I would need actors, and I would need cinematographers, and sound designers, and all these people. And you're not just becoming the idea person, you're becoming the manager of all of that. Yes. And so it's, yeah,
Starting point is 02:40:28 I think if I could just sort of put a broad in Japan on hold for six months plus, then maybe I'd consider it. So is that one you would do if you had a year left to leave? Yeah, I'd make a film. That's a good thing. There you go.
Starting point is 02:40:41 We've, we've, we've got to be like poison, like venom. If we've drawn it from me. If, if what, I'd make a film. If you're going through your midlife crisis and what doesn't drive you anymore is making a content for money, which is clearly not, since you are a, uh, let me glaze you for a second. Uh, you're a best selling, uh, Sunday Times bestselling author. You know, you've, you've got time for side projects. You can take six months off of YouTube and, uh, do a creative endeavor and, uh,
Starting point is 02:41:11 and feel the fulfillment of doing something like that, you know? Maybe. Well, it's just a scary thing. And also, you know, it's 100% scary. And also, like, you know, doing something like that, if it failed, the fear of failure is a big thing. Oh, you could have, you could have not, your book could have flopped. And I could have failed.
Starting point is 02:41:29 Yeah. Like, anything could fail. Yeah. If you look at your whole life. But making a film is really, it's pretty tough stuff. It is. Yes. What's the saying that people have never failed or the people have never tried?
Starting point is 02:41:40 Hmm. Maybe. You made a film? I haven't made a film. I loved it one day, but, you know, it's tough. It's tough. I don't know. I think maybe, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:41:52 I don't know what's holding me back. You maybe are, you're holding yourself back. Yeah, I'm idiot. It's annoying. It is annoying. I should just commit to it. Botte Chimji had. You back.
Starting point is 02:42:03 I think there's a fear that I'll do it. I think there's a fear that I'll do it, and then it won't live up to my imagination or how I perceive it be and maybe I'll be. I think this is what I admire about gone is that you just, you're always willing to just fucking make something and then do the next thing. Yeah. I can make barn better.
Starting point is 02:42:21 I, I've reached the finish line and I had learned so much from it, but I wouldn't know that if I just started the journey. Yeah, we're all put in like a very privileged position. It's same as YouTube, you know. We,
Starting point is 02:42:32 we had the same thing with YouTube where we didn't know where that if we can make good videos or not, and we slowly, like, learn along the way. Did Barn make you want to keep going? Oh, fuck yeah. Fuck, yeah. You won't shut up about it.
Starting point is 02:42:48 You want to shut up about it. No, I mean, it's, for me, I fucking love creative projects. I mean, you set the world up really well. Are you going to take us back into the world? I would love to. But right now, I'm from working on Barn. I just realized I really want to develop my storytelling skills, like, even more. Maybe write a book, you know, who knows?
Starting point is 02:43:09 But... Well, we were talking about, like, fiction the other day, right? Yeah. How you've been wanting to, like, get into more, like, science fiction and fantasy and stuff like that. Yeah. Well, Joey getting into philosophy, I've been, like, after hearing Jerry talk about it, I was like, I want to get into philosophy. Because I feel...
Starting point is 02:43:25 Not for the same reasons as Joey, but for, like, I think it would give me a much more grounded basis to, like, think about conflict and stuff like that. So it's just for me I'm just constantly on just like trying to develop skills develop training for myself you know
Starting point is 02:43:46 I started I started a journal for no other reason I used to do that but I got self-conscious that somebody would find it and it'd be like kill Connor every page
Starting point is 02:43:56 and they'd be like Oh this is a bit worrying this journal of his Keep a locking key Lock and Key Kill C-DAR No trains
Starting point is 02:44:03 How long do you do it for I did it when I was a lot younger actually Yeah. It is good, journaling. Yeah, I do think it is good to withdraw a lot of the ideas
Starting point is 02:44:12 for me, you know. Yeah, I'm just tired of just living days and being like, I can't remember what I thought this day, but I feel like I had a good thought
Starting point is 02:44:18 this day, you know? I don't want to know what I thought to New Zealand's. He's a fucking dumb breath. What philosophy led to this? What were you? I mean,
Starting point is 02:44:28 this past like, maybe six months to a year, I've been just like, not only just like reading a lot more books, but like I finally was like, I'm going to start like reading philosophy because I've always wanted to get into it. So, like,
Starting point is 02:44:37 obviously started off where everybody else starts off, like, you know, the Plato's and the Marcus Aureliuses and all that kind of stuff. Meditations. Yeah, meditations, exactly. Like, meditations was the one that, like, kind of, like, kickstarted it for me. And then right now I'm working through, like, Adler and, like, Young and Freud and all those guys. Because, like, I've always just been curious about, like, that world. And how has this affected your life? Um, it's, like, reaffirmed a lot of things that I had already thought about, was never certain about, as well as, in.
