Starting point is 00:00:00 Pickax When you're flying Emirates Business Class, sipping your favorite cocktail at our onboard lounge, you'll see that your vacation isn't really over until your flight is over. Fly Emirates, fly better. Oh, hello there. Welcome back, y'all.
Starting point is 00:00:36 How are you all doing? Tryfuls, pod. Come on now. Brush the dust off your pants and your boots. Sit down. Rest your weary legs. Here's a mug of cold beer. Here's a packet of Marlboro cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:00:54 For the cowboy in all of us. Oh, yeah. That wasn't a good bit of appetizing. A mandolus looking out on the horizon, smoking a sig. That man. A rugged outdoorsman who had such good skin that he clearly never smoked. Indeed. But that came, the Marlborough man just became like default slang for a real man.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Even though he never had been, he might have been like, oh, hello, I love Marlbras me. Oh, I can't get enough of them. You know, he could have been very camp or he could have been like just a complete nut. He had all the skimdy riz of his day. That was the Riz of its time. He might have even been in Ohio, I don't know. Maybe. Marlboro Man, maybe was.
Starting point is 00:01:35 It's got to be at least close by. Somewhere in there. Mayhap. Mayhap's. Now, what is the epitpity of manhood? Andrew Tate. Donald Trump. Something cool happened.
Starting point is 00:01:53 So healthy. Something crazy happened to me last night. Something crazy happened to me last night. Rather than get into politics, let's talk about this. Someone crashed into my house. No. Yes. You hear about this.
Starting point is 00:02:05 This is like a story that you hear about on the news. Is it on the news? It's not on the news? It's not that cool. But you live in like a sleepy cul-de-sacca. It's wicked. I don't know where you live or what it's like, but I imagine your road is so chock-a-block with cars
Starting point is 00:02:19 that it's basically very difficult to reach your house at any kind of speed. We're end of terrace. Yeah. People often do a sort of turning around. of their car. So I believe that what happened was my neighbor was turning around their car, slipped, hit the accelerator, and it banged into the wall next to my house. So we've sort of got our house, and then we've got a shed, and then a wall,
Starting point is 00:02:42 the sort of my property line. And so they've hit that wall. It's collapsed, smashed our shed to bits, and there's like a huge car-shaped hole, and the fence and everything is all fucked up. It's a mess. So it basically tipped the wall over, did it, which then crushed the fence. Imagine, imagine if you've, obviously, the car is, it's a tall wall. It's like when the Kool-Aid man busts through the wall, Lewis.
Starting point is 00:03:04 It really was. Wow. And there's a Kool-Aid man's shape where he busted through. Yeah. And we don't know what's holding the wall up, but we're pretty sure it's just perfectly poised and just don't touch it and it'll stay there. So we're sort of not going near it. The shed door is jammed so solidly shut that I can't get to my bicycle.
Starting point is 00:03:20 So I'm pretty sure that it's just like the door is part of what's holding up the wall. So the council came out. They walled it off. Oh, fenced it off, I should say, don't go near the wall is what we've been told. And I was like, but now the argument becomes, whose wall is it? Yeah. Because I'm like, I thought it was the council's wall. And now they're like, no, we think it's your wall because it's fucked.
Starting point is 00:03:41 So they don't want to have to deal with it. And who's going to pay for all the repairs? The car insurance. The car insurance. Right. Okay. Yeah. The car insurance of my friend.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I mean, this is all going to be resolved civilly and no problem. Like, there's absolutely no issue. A hundred percent fault, like, there's no doubt. Got witnesses, the whole smear. So it's like, there's no doubt. doubt in my mind. Fucking hell. Imagine, like, just on the off chance, you decided to sleep in your shed last night
Starting point is 00:04:04 and that happened, like, the one time you're like, just going to do a little test here to sleep in my shed. Yeah, squeezing in there amongst the spiders and the jet wash, yeah. You know, Sips lives basically half his life in his dad garage. That's basically just a shed. My dad garage, if somebody ran their car into this bad boy, though, it would be fine, I think. No, it would collapse immediately. It's about 60 years old
Starting point is 00:04:29 It was probably designed for about 20 It's a very firm structure It looks great on the inside since you did it up But the structure of it is looking like It's basically one room Single car garage It's got a cat's got double breeze block cavity It's got really strong roof beams
Starting point is 00:04:47 Like it's not going anywhere Trust me It's like a bunker Are you patting it right now Look at the street Yeah Yeah I just tightened a strap
Starting point is 00:04:54 randomly in here And I've slapped the side of it, and I said, this isn't going anywhere. It's probably not. I feel that confident. I wasn't all that confident before when I was there in there. I didn't feel like it was ruggedized to case. Yeah, okay. I like it.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Now that somebody's driven their car into Flax's backyard, you're scared of everything you've ever done in retrospect. Yours is more close to the road. Oh, I didn't feel very safe that one time. I was in one of the safest structures. Anybody's ever built ever anywhere. I didn't feel safe. The billionaires have got their bug because the Sips has got his dad garage.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Absolutely. Yeah, I'm like a cockroach. I'm going to survive anything in here. And I'm going to come slithering out after it's all done. And where's the Twinkies? You know, they'll be all mutated and shit. It'd be nice. Show it down all them peeps that have made it past the...
Starting point is 00:05:46 I love the noise that you make when you're slurred up. Yeah, I'm doing like the iguana face as well where I've got like all my neck folds sticking out. You're just like Mr. Bean. I see. You're actually going to be eating the cockroaches. I'm going to turn into Mr. I think that's what's going to happen. I'm going to be in my bunker.
Starting point is 00:06:06 The world, as you know it, is going to change dramatically through nuclear war. I will be in here safeguarded by all of the mayhem outside, but the fallout will transform me into Mr. Beam. And then I'll come out of the bunker. just got 100 jars of pickles to live off of running around eating pickles and just getting into all sorts of like scraps hilarious scrapes out there in the wasteland in mr bean yeah it'd be well the chinese will keep you alive then if you're um you know if you're mr bean they love
Starting point is 00:06:42 yeah that's it that's i think that's the best possible outcome you could hope great that's good to hear yeah that's a relief and it's so what is the house okay it's just the shed and the wall just the shed in the wall. Was your neighbor compromised, do you think? Were they like, have they been drinking? No, no, no, no. Not at all. Was it, were they very tired? Are they very old? No, it was literally just a slip. Just a fudge. Have they got a new car? Have they got an old car? It's a pretty it's an electric car. It's quite a new car. I see. So maybe they're not used to. They crashed into the library on the east wing. And now my collection of vintage hustler magazines has been obliterated
Starting point is 00:07:23 No amount of car insurance can cover this Pearson, would you please find out what that was send them away so it would appear there's a car through a wall in your driver
Starting point is 00:07:35 Oh, not that again Which wing? East wing. My hustlers? One's hustlers One's hustlers have been obliterated I apologize
Starting point is 00:07:48 but the hustlers have been completely obliterate My hustlers? Tell me about the collection of big Joggs magazine. Are they still there? Are they still okay? Pearson, tell me the big jugs magazines are it.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Tell me, tell me, and tell me true. Is freaky and over 40 okay? Is the collection okay? So I regret to inform you that not only are they done for, but the reader's wives have been decimated. There's failure an issue left. I do manage to save one issue of razzle. Oh, that's God.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Oh, God. Speaking of Giant Cox, here's something. I was watching The Chair Company. Have you seen this show? Yeah, I've heard it's really good. It's Tim and Eric, right? No, it's just Tim Robinson. Oh, is it Tim Robinson?
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yeah. I think he should leave, you know, the sketch show. He's done a few other things, but this is like, it's kind of bizarre because it's a comedy, but it's also like a mystery in a weird way. It's like a who-done-it sort of sleuth. thing where he's trying to solve this question about he's trying to find this chair company which is why it's called the chair company. At the end of
Starting point is 00:08:56 this week's episode, so it's been to this point just main general Tim Robinson stuff where he yells a lot and it's like weird characters and if you like that kind of stuff it's really funny. I do so it is really funny. We've been watching it with the 13 year old. No problemo right, a little bit of cussing, but there's nothing
Starting point is 00:09:12 funky in it. This episode was 18 and I thought 18, I think you didn't see that very often. Part me to the episode, people are doing cocaine all over this bar. They're doing loads of Coke, and I was like, okay, so that's why it's an 18. Last 30 seconds of the episode, one of the characters is watching some Christmas Carol porn. Okay, so like Scrooge is there with his nightcap on his dressing gown, and the Ghost of Christmas Future takes off their hood, and it's a beautiful young woman, and Scrooge is like, I don't think I'll remember all this, and she goes, I'll make sure you remember it, gets down her knees, opens his pajamas, and the biggest cock you can. seen in your life is right there.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And she starts gnosh it on it and then it cuts to credits. And me and my wife were like screaming, laughing. But in the same time, I look over, my youngest just has her hands clothed over the face. I was like, don't look, don't look at the... But I just honestly, it absolutely came out of nowhere, had no idea that the episode was going to end like that. Could not believe it. Fucking hell, that's funny. So be careful what you watch with your kids, I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:10:19 You see the 18 and you think, oh, they would never put a massive Johnny in the fucking on the telly like that. But they did because apparently if it's fake, the rules don't apply. If it's a real cop, now they've got trouble. Someone said they did the same thing with 28 years later because there's like kids on the set. But as long as all the zombies have prosthetic knobs legally covered. I think industry had a prosthetic knob as well at one point. But I think on the I player, the whole scene is like, is edited anyway. They have got a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:10:52 They used one on the White Lotus as well. There's that scene where like the guy turns around and you can see it like poking down between his legs. He thinks there's something wrong with his balls or something, eh? When he's like, hey, can you come and check out my balls? They feel weird and you can see his knob. It's like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So pretty crazy. Hellarious. Was not expecting that. I need to watch that. I'll put that on the list. It's a really funny show. But that moment was just, it was completely out of nowhere. I just couldn't see it coming.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And because of the drugs, I really thought that's why it was an 18. I don't know if they even put that in just to throw you off the scent, because it was such a surprising ending. My goodness. Oh, dear. I like Tim Robinson. He's very funny, very funny man. He's a, I think you should leave is great as well.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It's so quotable. It's just become like some very funny. So many memes in the office. A little hit and miss at times. It's not all consistently hilarious funny, but when a skit is funny, it is exceptionally funny. You don't know which one's going to hit you either. I think different people like different bits of it as well. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I like that one in season two where the guy's always on his phone. You know, there's like the shit's going down. He's just like super uninterested. He's like all slouched in his chair on his phone. He's like, on my phone all the time. Tim obviously like pitching these to the writer's room and it's basically like so there's some crazy shit going on and there's a guy on his phone
Starting point is 00:12:21 and he's just he's not bothered by the shit and that's the whole premise of the skit right and it's like it is that simple and it's like but like they obviously I can imagine the guys in the writer's room like is that it? Do you want us just to we add some more to it? Lido can we do something different with it? Can we make it funnier?
Starting point is 00:12:38 And he's like nah, no. I think a lot of it's got to be improvised as well and then they just take the, you know, they find the gold in there somewhere. I can't imagine that it's like overly rehearsed. They probably have like a, you know, like a rough idea of what they want to do and then they just sort of, there must be so many like bloopers and outtakes and stuff available. But I'd be interesting to see some of it. It's probably, a lot of it's probably very funny. I mean, we don't see a lot of sketch comedy these days, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It's kind of kind of quieted down. I feel like the Michelin Web, the new Michelin Web, wasn't very well received. I watched a bit of it. It just felt like, I don't know, they kind of ran out of things to be funny about. I feel like sketch comedy a lot of the time, the first season will generally be the best one. It's the same as like for a lot of bands,
Starting point is 00:13:24 their first album will be their best album because they spent the most time working on it. And then when someone is like, hey, do that again, and you have a year to do it, you think, oh, plenty of time. And whilst you could easily write six episodes of half-hour sketches in one year, you're not going to have spent 10 years thinking about them
Starting point is 00:13:41 and honing them like you had the first series or your first album where you've literally been working on these songs and touring them for years while you try to make it and now you made it and now they're like, cool, do that again, but in one year instead of eight. I think a lot of sketch comedy, I don't know about nowadays, but I know back in the day, it was all performed and toured, you know, like kids in the hall, for example, SCTV, all like the old North American. Did they tour? They didn't just have a studio?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah, no, they were like, they were part of like, basically these are like improv clubs, if you like, like, uh, like drama clubs. Right. For adults, you know, people who are who who are aspiring to be in the industry or whatever. Like, uh, if you watch like the Pee Wee Herman documentary, Paul Rubens was the same. He was part of like the, I can't remember what they were called now, but it was in LA, kind of like a comedy club. Um, it was like a group. Phil Hartman was in it. And, uh, you know, they would.
Starting point is 00:14:40 the groundlings. The groundlings, that's it. Yeah. And then they would, um, they would, they would put on shows like every night or every, every week or whatever. And, and, and originally Pee Wee Herman was, uh, like a show on it, like midnight on a Saturday night. Uh, and it grew from there. Like, it developed its following and everything as like a, a little, like sketch comedy stage show and then blew up into this big thing. But kids in the hall were the same, you know, they would, they were part of like a group and they would go out, they would do shows, live shows or whatever, and a lot of it was improv, and then through the improv and through doing the same show over and over, they developed these characters and develop them, develop them. And then when it came time where somebody was like, yeah, I want to put you
Starting point is 00:15:21 guys on TV, I think this would really work. This stuff is just like so fine-tuned, you know, like they're so used to playing the characters. They've got all these other ideas for like progression and stuff like that. And you can see like in kids in the hall that that happened. you know, like you'd see a sketch and then as the some of the seasons went on, some of those characters would like change of it. They'd have like arcs and stuff. It was really, really clever stuff. It was really well done. But I think like, was it like, oh, fucking what's it? Doug, Bob and Doug McKenzie. Hey, hooser, you hoeser, you know, the Canadian guys. That came from. Rick Mormanis. Yeah, Rick Romanus. And I can't remember his name. But that all came from SCTV. That's so that would be like
Starting point is 00:16:03 John Candy Catherine is it Catherine O'Hare the mom in Home Alone Like they all came up through Eugene Levy They all came up through that
Starting point is 00:16:13 And it was the same It was all performed sketch comedy And then they went on To like bigger and better things You know It's interesting But I don't know if it's how it works still
Starting point is 00:16:23 I think the groundlings are still a thing though I think they're still going I don't know like what they do But who knows Maybe something big will come Out of one of those scenes again Or not
Starting point is 00:16:33 I guess it's changed a lot since probably the 80s when all of this stuff was getting really big. I think Monty Python was somewhat similar as well. I think a lot of their stuff, they started at school and they would perform stuff like at school or university or something. Was it Oxford or Cambridge? I mean, the footlights and all that. I feel like, I don't know if we talked about this before, but the origins of these comedy
Starting point is 00:16:55 groups. People always think, I guess, that people are just funny and that's it, but I think the different is that for some people, if you're going to be that kind of comic, whether it's like a sketch comedian or an onstage comedian, not just a stand-up, but someone working with a group, writing sketches, playing characters, you've got to be a bit of a theater kid type. You've got to be a bit of acting, maybe even a bit of sing, like, is it kind of an all-rounder. I think you have to be somebody who can write as well. I think you have to kind of have absolutely. You have to have all of these skills. Like League of Gentlemen, I think, was the same
Starting point is 00:17:30 sort of deal. They were all theater people who were writing and doing all of this creative stuff. And through all the madness came, you know. But you've got to meet other people like that. Yeah, you do. That's it. But so apparently Papa Lazaru is based on the landlord that they had when they were much younger. I mean, it's just, you know, all of these guys you hear about them.
Starting point is 00:17:51 They're like 23, 24 living in Ballam or somewhere like that, you know, in this terrible flat. But that's the thing is they're writing and those coming up with those characters for years. Yes. I guess it would have been the same for like Paul White House and Harry Enfield and when they get older and their world constricts into comfort and money because they're successful, what are they writing sketches about now? They're not relatable anymore. And I think that's the problem is when you've made it, it's very hard to then turn around and be funny because comedy is about laughing in the face of adversity and struggle and horror and everyday embarrassment.
Starting point is 00:18:25 And if you literally live in a mansion, it's very hard to make relatable comedy. and joking about how rich you are is like gonna piss a lot of people off So that's why I think a lot of these sketches Go to shit Isn't that basically what happened to Chris Rock He just like he got he got like mega rich and Then he got slapped and made a tour out
Starting point is 00:18:43 Then he got slap I bought a house Well I haven't paid Well you've closed I've exchanged contracts Oh my god I haven't I haven't completed yet Which is the next stage
Starting point is 00:18:56 Did that just happen So exchange of contracts is when you pay basically you pay the deposit and then the seller gets the deposit and then you're committed to buy regardless of what happens even if it burns down kind of thing. So I've had to get buildings insurance which I was scrabbling around to do yesterday, which was fun. I've never had to, you know, insure my house before. And the list of costs have started to coalesce. It's quite annoying because I'm moving, well, I'm getting the house, I think, in the first week of January, which is a bit of a weird time. But also, it's like literally the worst time to move in because it'll be freezing cold and, you know, terrible weather, middle of winter, like actually peak winter type thing.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Does it have central heating? Yes. Oh, that's good. It does. You'll need that in January. Is it a single candle in the central room? Is that what it is? No, I think it's got an oil.
Starting point is 00:19:49 In the main reception or is that the annex reception? It's in the atrium. I like the candle in the atrium. One candle in the rotunda, please. The eranjury was particularly told this morning. The light a candle, a single candle. The ghost in the veranda has been putting the things up. Bring the candle into my hustler room as well so I can read my collection of hustlers.
Starting point is 00:20:15 That's wax everywhere, you see. It's a white wax. So, yeah, I'm excited and dreading it a bit as well. It's going to be hard work, but it's nice to own. Obviously, this year I was planning on going away for a whole. I haven't had a holiday, like the entire basically. I went away like for a weekend or a day trip, but that's it. And I was hoping to actually go somewhere on holiday in the winter.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I was hoping maybe to go to Australia for a couple of weeks in January or maybe like just somewhere hot. And Ozzy and Duncan are potentially going away. And I was going to go away with them and then mum, Ozzie's mom, which is hilarious. And God, it's such a good time. I really want to do that. But they're going away at, like, exactly the time that I'm getting the house. So I have to be there on that day to pay, basically. So Duncan can't help you move.
Starting point is 00:21:06 And then, oh, it's just, loads of people have volunteered to help you move. Help him move. What is he, George Costanza? Who's going to help him move? Don't help him move. No one wanted to help anyone move. It's just not a fun time. That's how to lose friends. It's almost impossible to return the favor.
Starting point is 00:21:21 It's almost impossible. I'll come over and help you move. If you agree to come over here and help one of my kids move out at some point. I'll be old old and naked by the time that happens. You know, kids stay at home until like 30 these days. Oh, my son's going to be 14 this year, so he'll be 14 in less than a month. I'll be old and naked. I'll be 60, you know, by the time he moves out.
Starting point is 00:21:42 What if he moves out when he's like, you know, freshly 18 years old? What if he decides to move out? He's only four years from now. Is he going to move out to be a homeless guy? Like, there's no way, 18. The only way he's moving out is if you're kicking him out. Then again, I guess he could go to you and yes, but. I do tease the kids constantly that they're ticking down till you move out.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Like when it's their birthday, I'm like, oh, just four years till you move out, just teasing them. But I also always tell them, you could live here for as long as you like, and I don't care. I think it's good that you say that because it probably, this generation is probably going to have to live with their parents for the rest of their lives. Well, this is it. I was talking to someone in the office who's just doing their second year available. I think it's the daughter of one of the fourth floor people here. And she was telling me how she doesn't know what she wants to do, and she's applied to Bristol uni, but she doesn't really want to live at her home.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And I was like, you know, that's the way to avoid like 20 grand of student debt is to live at home, right? Yeah, right. Jesus crazy. And also, I guess, is there a university on Jersey since? No. Because I guess there isn't, right? Just the university of life.
Starting point is 00:22:49 They have to go to the mainland. Which means they're never, your kids aren't going to be coming back home with all their dirty washing and stuff all the time. No. Yeah, if they do, if they, there's a college here. They could, they can learn, they can go to college here if they want. They have a college here that offers like if they want to do trade or something like that. But if they want to go off to university, they will have to go to England.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I think Plymouth is a very popular university for people to go to from Jersey. Don't go to Plymouth. Why? From all the Jersey people that are there? No, because it's a dump. Sorry, it's just a rival. It's a right. It's the Derby, isn't it, Bournemouth and Plymouth, right?
Starting point is 00:23:23 No, no, not at all. No, I went to university there. Oh, don't you? I went to university. And look how you turned out. 95 to 99. You met Mrs. Flax there. No, I didn't meet Mrs. Schwex there.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Maybe it's changed a lot since then. It has not. Where did you meet Mrs. Flax? Have you been recently? Oh. I'm going to have Plymouth University slandered on this podcast, okay? All right. I'll do the slandering.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Did your wife go to Plymouth University? She did, yeah. No, she did. Oh, no, sorry. Mine did, yeah. No. I don't know anybody who's ever been to Plymouth University. Well, no, you do.
Starting point is 00:23:58 We met six months before university at an engagement party for a mutual friend. Right. And we didn't know each other, obviously, until that evening, met, hit it off. And she was like, my God, this man is such a... Based on your shared love for Plymouth University. That's such a nice story. She saw his lovely, luscious head of hair and thought, wow, that virile man. He used to have so much hair.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Like, it was crazy. She was like, gosh. I had real hair back then. And then... She was she obviously, you know, we got married when we were 25. So she was 24, I was 25 in like 2001 and then my hair fell out within five years. So she really got screwed over. Do you think like maybe my wife thought this as well, but do you think like sometimes they
Starting point is 00:24:39 meet somebody and they're like, this little fucker is going to be bald in like five years time? He can't wait for his little fucking head, all his fucking hair to fall out, fucking little bitch that fucking bald. Do you think they have like an internal dialogue where they're like, oh. And they have like an app on their phone where they've, they've taken your pictures and aged them and are like, I'm processing your picture to see how quickly you will be bald and what you're going to look like.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I think women are more thinking about the long term than men, for sure. Oh, for sure. I was just like, oh, man, this girl is so beautiful. And I was instantly in love, like immediately that we met and I kissed her. I was like, that is it. I am in love 100%. Men are very simple like that. She was obviously hedging her bets.
Starting point is 00:25:22 and unfortunately she backed her losing horse there's no other way to put it if you look at pictures of me now compared to pictures of her now and you compare them to like our wedding photos she looks the same she looks exactly the same I you would not recognise me as being that person
Starting point is 00:25:42 well you scrub up nice though P-Flex I've seen you're on stage in a suit you know you look lovely do you ever think by the way that there was some sort of causative event that triggered the hair loss. Being born male, I would suggest. Do you have something to blame for it?
Starting point is 00:25:57 He's got an overload of testosterone. How quickly did it go? Was it like overnight? Like a week coming off? No, no, no. I sort of, I clung to it possibly longer than I should have. Oh, dear. In that when I was about 30, I started to think, oh, probably I'm going to have the
Starting point is 00:26:15 shape. Man, there was no Reddit back then either for you to finally take the step, finally take the plunge. Yeah, that's true. I do. That's fucking Reddit post. Some lad with one hair on top of his head. One room whether he should shave it. Yeah, mate.
Starting point is 00:26:28 I thought it was time. They always look so much better. They always look so much better. It's crazy. Oh, God. It's so funny. It really makes me love. It is cute that you two have such lovely,
Starting point is 00:26:43 so such resounding, retaining, you know, love for your other halves. Despite the fact that they went to, Plymouth University. Yeah. It's the one negative mark on an otherwise perfect scorecard. Do you know who else went to Plymouth University? No, tell me.
Starting point is 00:27:01 At the same time I was there, Mr. Tony Root Vegetable, as I believe he's come to be known. Tony Root Vegetable. Yeah, do you remember? I kept trying to tell a story about a kid I was at school with who had a name that involved a root vegetable. Tony Carrot. Right. See, Tony Carrot.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Tony Potato. Tony Sweet. He was there too. There, too. Right. But he, sorry, is he more famous? Is he more famous than you? No, he was just a triforce reference.
Starting point is 00:27:30 He was the bully, wasn't he? He was the school bully. He was the school bully. And he went to Plymouth University. He went to Plymouth University. Do you know what he studied at Plymouth University? No, I don't think any of us studied much at Plymouth University, honestly. You studied a tithies.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Oh, yeah. I studied the inside of vaginas, man. his wife like it. Jesus Christ. I'm not sending any of my kids to that university now. Thanks very much. We'll find somewhere else. I'm going to post this on Discord.
Starting point is 00:28:00 This is me at about 2930. Okay. Really, I didn't know if there were any pictures from the era of the hair loss because obviously you don't want to remember that time. That is me. I've seen this picture before. That is a good one. That is such a good one.
Starting point is 00:28:19 That is a definite... Honestly, you haven't, like, changed that much. Like, you just look... Disagree. You look just a bit younger, but, like, if you took all the hair off of this picture and added a little bit of facial hair, I mean, you look... Oh, my God. You still look like you.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I think I look a bit like this right now. My hair is literally like yours is. It's like a long and kind of, like, slightly covering the temples that are bald, you know? I've turned into, like, a... thumb in my old age. Yeah, that's what we do. I turned like, I just look like a thumb now. I don't look like a person.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Like, when I was in my teens, I had more sort of like definition, you know. I had like a, you could tell that my neck was, was not part of my head and stuff. But now it's like, it all just like melds in. It's weird, isn't it? Would you use P-Flex if hair transports were available at the time? That's now. I love how you've done the same expression. Yeah, done the same stupid expression.
Starting point is 00:29:19 You look the same. You do look pretty much the same. You are saying that you don't look, your wife looks the same. You obviously look the same. Did you just take that picture right now? Yes, I just took that picture right now. Have you had some dental work? No.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Right. Well, did you not know I had teeth? No, I knew you had teeth, but I just, you know, I was just wondering if you, your teeth look, your teeth look wider and healthier in the new picture than the old. Thank you. Thank you so much. Have you been flossing? Have you been flossing?
Starting point is 00:29:50 Yes, of course. A wig. And I never floss. They've got some great wigs these days. Do you know what? This is funny. Whilst on my, a couple of times ago when I came down to Plymouth,
Starting point is 00:30:00 fucking got Plymouth on the brain, down to Bristol, this conversation came up at the pub where people were telling me to get a wig. Great advances in wigs, you know? You see them all over Reddit. No, I'm not wearing a fucking wig.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I'm only joking. We're only joking. No, but they're asking it seriously. People like, You could. No one would think any less of you. I would. I would very much.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I think for you, it's crazy that you can get away with saying that to somebody, but like you couldn't just say to somebody, you know, they got weight loss injections now that you can try. That would be, you'd get slapped in the face if you said that to somebody. You know, you can get bigger tits if you get the implants in there. Yeah. Yeah. You know, there's really great plastic surgeons out there.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Because you could just get bigger tits. You can get this silicon thing in your knob, which increases this sort of girp. Yeah. It's like a kind of ruler that they sell a tape in there or something. I don't know. Can you send me some details on that? I think my friend is really interested to find out more about that. I'll let you know.

But I guess for you, Perian, like a hair transplant was always like a losing race, right? How so? Well, because you would replace it at the front, but then it retreats back, doesn't it, a bit further? And then you have to sort of put it back there. No, it's always...
Starting point is 00:33:03 I mean, I just got to a certain point and I shaved it off. Like, that's it. There was no... Why wouldn't I? Like, it was just, it was obviously over. Well, obviously Sips had his hair transplant. And I never think of Sips as... But I think in an alternate reality, Sips would have gone balls as well.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I was, yeah. I was like on the verge. But I think I got in at the right time because the guy said, like, if you leave it too long, I mean, this is like years ago. But he said, if you leave it too, too long, it's more difficult. But at the time he was like, oh, you regret it? Or did you, do you like having, still have any hair? Yeah, I think at the time, like, because I was just, like, I was just 30 when I got it pretty much.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And I thought like, man, it's like, I'm too young to like be this bald, you know. So it's like, I'll get it done. And then the actual procedure itself was was not nice. It's like very uncomfortable. And like the recovery time after is really annoying as well. But yeah, no, I've been, I've been pretty happy with it. It's been fine. Like I don't care now, you know, like, because it's of course thinning out because I'm only getting older and stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:11 But I don't mind so much because it's. It's, you know, I'm like 45 years old. So I think it looks like I'm just a 45-year-old person with thinning hair. You know, like, it doesn't bother me so much. But when I was 30, it was like, I don't really want to be bald at 30. You know, like it just felt like I was still like a bit too young to be bald. Did they make you have all the dioxinil on that and stuff? And they give you loads of other things to take as well at the same time, don't they?
Starting point is 00:34:36 It's not just the hair transplant. No, like when I had it, they just basically just, oh, it was like this painstaking process. It took like two full days and they're just transplanting all these follicles from the side of your head. And then they start putting them into like the top of your head. But no, I can't remember having like anything else. Lots of, lots of like lots of local anesthetic, which was annoying because it just like the like, you know, and some of it hurt. Like especially around like, you know, close to like your eyebrow area and stuff like that. But the recovery was it was so annoying.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Lots of, like, itching and scabbing, and it was, like, it had to, like, constantly put, like, aloeira and stuff to stop the itching, and it went on for, like, weeks. Yeah, it was really annoying. Yeah. But now it's fine. Like, it's like, I don't really, like, think about it that much now. Yeah, I think the story that someone in the office told me who'd had a hair transplant basically said that they had to take the monoxidil and the finasteride and all those things as well, right? is almost like as required. And he said to me, the one thing you said to me about it was, it makes your cum all weird.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Oh, right. I think it makes your cum all like more runny or something or more watery or something. Damn. When I had the biopsy on my prostate, tell you what, the worst thing is when you see blood in your cum. Like that, I can't. Oh, God. That is awful.
Starting point is 00:36:08 It is really weird. And it's, well, because, like, you know, they basically assaulted my prostate, like, eight to 13 times with, like, a staple gun, so it's bound to. But, and, I mean, it cleared up, like, fairly quickly, but, like, the first couple of times was pretty rough. Like, I thought, oh, man, maybe, like, I am just dying now. Like, this is it. Like, you don't expect, and blood in your pee as well was, was a really weird one, too.
Starting point is 00:36:35 That's got to be a frightening one. It is frightening, yeah. I mean, every time I eat beetroot, I look around and I think, oh, fuck. I'm like, have I got pensac? Yeah, it's like, you know, like you, it's weird when you get old, like, you know, certain things don't work this, the way they used to or whatever, but that, like, having blood in, uh, in your fluids, like, I, like, I knew that they were going to be there because, like, I was told that they would be for a little while because of the nature of the,
Starting point is 00:37:01 the biopsy, but you still think like, oh, fuck, I really hope that like, uh, you know, I'll be okay after this because it is so weird. Do you think this is Do you ever feel like you're getting older and you'll start you start in your mind thinking well I could just be
Starting point is 00:37:21 I mean you had this P-Flex with this thing where you had your heart problems which were very scary did you ever start thinking fuck it I might be I might just be dead soon so let's do this thing that you've been putting off like was that like
Starting point is 00:37:35 because you've been kind of adventurous you went to Japan you know you've been doing these things that felt like they were things that other people might put off or say, I'll do it later. Isn't that more a case like your kids are a bit older now, so you can kind of, you can venture out a bit further and do different things? First of all, I don't think going to Japan is some wild dangerous thing.
Starting point is 00:37:55 No, no, no. It's incredibly safe place. I just, I'm not, I'm not in your head, but I'm just wondering. I didn't, I didn't do a bucket list and like, oh, that's how much time lived. I mean, all it gave me was massive anxiety, which is what I had at the start of the year that I was medicated for up until about men. And then, you know, it was like, that was my thing, was just the heaps and heaps of anxiety caused by the heart stuff, caused by COVID, caused by all this politics and all this
Starting point is 00:38:21 constant shit just thrown out you all the time to just fuck with your brain. That's what got me was not some sense of joie de vivre and, you know, oh, I've got to go out and do things. No, it just made me incredibly sad, anxious and depressed. That's it. Well, sorry. I'm sorry to hear that. I think that's fine.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I don't know. I don't really like, I'm not, I'm not all in with the, like, the bucket list and stuff. I feel like if you want to, if you want to do something, you have the means of doing something, like you would have done it, right? Like, it's not, you shouldn't, you shouldn't wait until you're basically given, you know, two months to live to finally decide, oh, well, I'm going to do all these things. Like, I just feel like, you should just be doing the stuff you want to do. Right. Regardless. But also, I, I don't have a list of things. I'm like, I always wanted to do some stupid shit. Like, I never, like, I'm not one of those people.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I was like, oh, man, I really wanted to go base jumping. Like, no, I don't want to do bungee jumping. I don't want to do that wingsuit shit. Yeah. I don't do anything remotely dangerous because your life, if you're going to die, the life you have left is even more precious. So why are you wasted it on some mindless shit? I don't want to say like it's easily doable because I know some of the stuff costs a lot of money
Starting point is 00:39:35 to do, but it's more accessible than ever, right? doing like bungee jumping, skydiving. You see people do it all the time. There's a whole company set up to receive people in to do these things. Whereas like maybe 20, 30 years ago, it wasn't so much a thing. So like, yeah, then you had to go and cut the bungee rope yourself with your teeth. Fash it into a cable. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Just guess the length and just yeat yourself. You had to have some military training because the person that was jumping with you expected you to be like a colonel. And, of course, when you hit the ground, you had to be ready to kill. Yeah, oh, God, yeah, you had to do combat roll straight into unsheathed knife and hold it to someone's throat. Can you imagine a worst deployment technique into battle than bungee? Like, dropping lads in behind the lines with parachutes is one thing, but bungeying down. Fuck, even just being like, I'd hate to be dropped in. Just as it starts to come back up, make sure you cut it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I'd hate to be dropped in by parachute because I feel like it's so slow and you're just such a, you know, people see you coming for, miles that even and then at night if you're parachuting you'd be crap in your pants because you can't see anything so but now they do that halo jumping which is high altitude low opening i think where you jump really high up yeah and then you just literally free fall down until the last second you open a parachute so you're not hanging there because i mean in um you know in world war two when they're in operation over the d day and everything the market guard no that was that was a separate operation that was um tegasus bridge right but wasn't that wasn't that airborne thing. Pegasus Bridge was D-Day. That was the night before D-Day was Pegasus Bridge.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Market Garden was the different operation afterwards to accelerate the war. They did a parachute drop all over the Netherlands and Arnhem Bridge and all that. Arnhem Bridge, that's it. Yeah, yeah. So, but Pegasus Bridge was a bridge they had to take on D-Day or the night before because they needed to move shit over this bridge. Yeah. And these lads had to drop and hold it and everything. Yeah, it was crazy. I visited that bridge. It's a cool bridge. I would love to see it. I would love to see it. It's such a cool bridge, yeah. But that was gliders. Gliders are also shit. Yeah. Because if your glider just is on the wrong angle, you're just in a wooden plane with no brakes that slides into a rock and you're all dead. That's mad. You could hit someone's front wall.
Starting point is 00:41:51 You could take out of front wall with that glider, mate. You've got to be careful. It's totally mad, eh. Like the things that people had to do in the in the wars and stuff, like, God, yeah. Just insane. Like, imagine, imagine you're a young man and you're in a fucking wooden glider behind enemy lines. How old are you? 19! I just got my first pub yesterday. What'd you have on your bucket list?
Starting point is 00:42:14 Doing anything before I die. It would have been nice. I always wanted to go in a wooden glider behind enemy lines, and here I am. I'm living my best life, living the dream. Kaboom! And that takes him out. So here's some news for you. There are two baseball players in America in the Major League.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah. Two, like, famous baseball players. well, one of them in particular, Louis Ortiz, who is a pitcher, and Immanuel Clay's, who is also a pitcher, and they have been alleged to be part of a betting ring involving people betting on the pictures that they threw, and they apparently, so here's the thing,
Starting point is 00:42:53 they alleged that they joined into this scheme where you get kickbacks and bribes from betters in exchange for rigging pitches. So you'll go out to throw a pitch, and the bet will be on the fact that it'll be a bullet, rather than a strike or something. It'll be that. And so people have found the examples of the pictures
Starting point is 00:43:11 that are apparently under contention. And I mean, this dude's thrown it in the dirt. Like, he's like chucking it at the dude's feet as hard as he can. So first of all, that is ridiculously stupid. Second of all, one of them didn't even work because the batter swung at it, which makes it technically a strike.
Starting point is 00:43:28 So it didn't work, even though this pitch was in the dirt, he just... He's still swung for it. Yeah, you couldn't allow for the batter doing the stupidest thing ever. swinging at this picture of the dirt. So that lost him that bet. But either way, the amount of money they're getting paid,
Starting point is 00:43:41 like $7,000, $5,000, $10,000. Do you want to know what Emmanuel Clay's contract was? Oh, like tens of millions. So Emmanuel Clay's, who was a closer, I think he was. He was certainly a well-known pitcher. He is only 27. He's with Cleveland. He's with the Cleveland Guardians, I think they're called now.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And his salary was, in this year it was $5 million. And next year it would be 6.4 And then he had another two years at 10 million each that the team could have opted out of by giving him $2 million. And he's doing bets for $7,000. I mean, you've got to be fucking mental. I mean, if he was being paid $7,000,
Starting point is 00:44:21 and they were offering him $2 million, you'd at least think, well, everyone's got a breaking point and this guy was just broke and he wanted the money and you can understand it. This is just, I don't even think it's greed. Something else is at work here. I wondered to what you guys thought it might. It is an addiction, isn't it, gambling?
Starting point is 00:44:37 He's not gambling. They get like a rush from it or whatever. But in his case, he is facilitating the gambling, right? He is the, he is like the purpose of the gambling, right? People are gambling to see what kind of throw he's going to throw. But then he is taking money in a form of a bribe to throw a certain way to benefit, I guess, one person or one person who has told a lot of people that they can make a lot of money this way or something. I don't know, but it seems mad to do that.
Starting point is 00:45:08 That's crazy. I think it's a combination of things. I know that I read a book a while back about match fixing in football. There's a big, there's an NBA match fixing scandal recently too, right? I was going to hit the NFL. It's all sport. And there was this, I saw footage of this guy just giving the ball away, basically. And then people are like, what is he doing?
Starting point is 00:45:29 Like, you know, this is like a top player who doesn't really make that many mistakes. And that is just like, it's such a gaff, like, but... Yeah. But the thing is now with expanded betting is not even, but you don't even need to gamble on we will win or we will lose. You can gamble on which, whether the next pitch will be a ball or a strike. Like, the fact that you can even bet on something that small makes fixing it so much easier. Yeah, of course, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Because if you're like, I reckon they're going to win, you can't just get one guy involved in your betting scheme. Because you need the whole team and the opposition team. least to score. Yeah. So it would be too obvious. It's too hard to rig at that level. So what you can do is say, well, we're going to put money on the fact that they're going to concede in the first 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And then you and the goalkeeper get together and you score a shitty own goal. And then the bet comes through. Or like, I know that there was one in the Premier League where it was the bet on what time the first throw-in would be. Right. Which is this insane thing to be able to gamble on anyway. Yeah. Because it's completely unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah. So the bet was that there would be a throw-in within the first two minutes. or something, and it's kickoff, and the player just kicks the ball straight out of touch, just bam, boots it. And everyone's like, what the fuck was that? And they were like, well, that didn't work out. It did. He clearly had a bet on that.
Starting point is 00:46:45 So it's stuff like that. That's the thing with these gambling markets expand. You're able to bet on whether he's going to scratch his head with his left hand or his right. Guess which hand he's going to scratch his head with, whichever one his mates have told him they put all the money on it. It's so dumb. Yeah, that is really dumb.
Starting point is 00:47:01 And it's crazy, too, because these guys are already getting paid really, really well for, I mean, they are talented. I'm not saying that they're not. He was a good picture. Yeah. And now he could face 65 years in prison. It's, like literally, I don't know why it's that much. I mean, it's, that's a lot of time in prison. Yeah, 65 years, yeah. Yeah, for a nonviolent crime. But with that much money, he probably won't see the inside of a jail anyway, because most people don't. I don't know if that's true. I don't know, dude. The, uh, the former, uh, president of France, Sarkozy, did you? Did see him. He's like, he spent 13 days in jail. He's meant to go to jail for five years for
Starting point is 00:47:40 fraud and all this other shit that he got caught doing. Yes, for 13 days it is enough. Yeah, yeah. He's 20 days in prison and now gets to do the rest of his sentence in, uh, under home, home arrest. Not even two weeks. He couldn't even make it two weeks. Where is Lewis, by the way? I mean, he's here. Just, I'm just, I'm just looking to say something. I'm messaging people, I've got an organiser by day. Um, there's news. Let's begin. I fucking knew it.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Unbelievable. Apology is listeners. He's a home owner now. I don't know. I've got a fucking wall that could fall over at any second. I know, but we've owned our homes for many years now. We're veterans, you know. These fresh meat on the home market.
Starting point is 00:48:21 He's just, he's, I got home stuff. He's wide-eyed. He's going to be moving in. He's going to have to. Lock Labs. I got recording. Just waste until he tackled the garden. As I just hear excuses.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Simon's coming in apparently today. so I've got to have lunch with Boba. I've got a whole lot planned today. Anyway, Stoned Simulator. Have you seen that on Steam? He's going to smash through this section. I haven't seen it, no, but I like the sound of it. Get on with his day.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Tell me more. There's a game called Stone Simulate. You can check it out. It's 2 pound 49. Stoned, stoned simuling. No. Do you remember? I don't know if you saw the movie,
Starting point is 00:48:50 fuck, what was it called? Everwethevenk everywhere or once. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know there's like that universe where everyone's just roared. Yeah, yeah. That's the game. is obviously someone saw the movie they were like oh wouldn't it be funny if there was a game based around
Starting point is 00:49:05 a universe where you are just a rock right and so that's the game it's like an idle game you cannot do anything you are literally a rock set there I'm able to do anything and is it is you can play it with other people they are a rock sat next to you so you can chat to them on your own voice chat obviously not in game because rocks can't talk they don't have lungs
Starting point is 00:49:25 and mouths and voice boxes no the rocks do communicate in everything ever all at once? Yes, but not in this they don't. So basically it's just, it's a meme game. It's very silly. It's like a communal, you can get loads of achievements just by being set. It's like an idol. You're going to love it. Check it out. It's two pounds. Okay, listen, I got another one for you guys to check out. There's a demo for this game. The game is called my wife threw out my card collection, so I bought a dump to find them all. You have to go through a dump and try to find your card collection that your wife threw out. You're kidding me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:01 That sounds fantastic. Oh my god, that is true. There's a demo available. I thought you were making this up. That's a funny, funny name for a game. I'm excited. You know what? You're talking about weed.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I thought something the other day. You know when people make weed their entire identity? Yes. Like they wear the t-shirts with a leaf on it. They just talk about, oh man, I would get there, but I'd be so high. Well, they're just talking about being high. That's all they talk about is weed. Basically, every person that smokes weed is like that.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Right. But those people are really not. no different from those people who say, who have a t-shirt or a poster that says, don't talk to me till I've had my coffee. Like, their coffees, their whole identity. I'm fucking angry until I've had my coffee in the morning. Tuesday, is it? Where's my coffee?
Starting point is 00:50:45 Don't even talk to me. For those people, dude, that's their weed. Don't talk to me between the hours of 12 o'clock and 5 o'clock. I'm because I haven't had, it's between lunch and dinner and I haven't had a snack. Coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee. Monday's here's a cup of coffee with a cat cuddling it on the people that like wine are like that too they talk about it all the time yeah just it's
Starting point is 00:51:09 weird I can't wait to get home and pop open a bottle of Pinot Grasio and whatever else they drink rosé I can't wait to have I can't wait for the rosé to touch my lips wet my lips with the rosé let my whistle my whistle my whistle yeah so it's Steam announced their new hardware last night. Yeah, I saw it. It's three new pieces of hardware. The Steam machine. The Steam machine.
Starting point is 00:51:39 The Steam machine, which is a little cube, which is a PC, yeah. But it's also a gaming console, and it's a whole thing. Kind of, kind of interesting. Is that not just a PC? Because I looked at it, and I thought, so it's a Steam. It's running Steam. It's almost certainly a PC. They just put it in a very little box and called it a Steam machine.
Starting point is 00:52:00 machine. That's it. Yes. Yeah. And then there's the Steam controller, which is the new Steam controller. And then there's a Steam VR headset, which I will probably not buy. No. Because I... You got burned last time.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Oh, wow. They are dangerous. I bought a VR headset every couple of years. I think I had the Vive back ten years ago. There's just no good games for it. No. I think they've stopped, stopped even trying to make games for them now. There's just, I mean, the games have come out for it.
Starting point is 00:52:27 They're all pretty much the same kind of thing. Yeah. Give me a reason. Yeah, like, that's the thing that always been. I feel like still the games that are coming out. A switch was to play Breath of the Wild. The reason I bought, you know, this thing, a PlayStation 5, which I haven't bought, would be if I was that inclined to play Death Stranding 2 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Do I mean, that's what I would. Actually, I mean, I'm tempted to see if I can get a PlayStation 5 to play something. I bought a PlayStation 5 because I had to do a brand thing at the time. Yes, you did. There was a sponsor thing. That's right. And I bought it. So I bought a PlayStation 5, but I figured,
Starting point is 00:53:00 I'll get a PlayStation 5 anyway because I'll use it GTA 6 or whatever is going to come out which is not it's been delayed again by a year but my son uses it
Starting point is 00:53:09 all the time it's like it's in his room he uses it so it's it was actually a really good one I mean we probably I probably just bought him a PlayStation anyway eventually
Starting point is 00:53:17 but he got one like early because I needed it for for work I had to do some work on it so there's a you know how you played
Starting point is 00:53:29 I don't know I play all these games online. I play the New York Times games. I play the... I play the crossword. What's that stupid game you see constantly? Clues by Sam is the other one online. Clues by Sam?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Yeah, if you've ever played that? It's quite... I see it advertised all the time and it's quite fun. How to play Clues by Sam? Anyway, there's a bunch of these things. You can play that later in your own time, P-Flax. But there's loads of them like Worldall and Flaggill. Worldil, Time, Flagg, yeah, there's no way any of those games.
Starting point is 00:53:57 The latest one is called Rule Thule. 30 fordell. Oh my God, no. And you have to, you have to, rule 34dell is basically, you have to guess which franchise has more. Which has more posts. I see. Because Rule 34 is the thing of like, there's always porn of Street Fighter and, you know, Mario. Like, which of the two things has more porn?
Starting point is 00:54:22 Well, obviously, it would be married, right? Yeah. And then you'll go to the next one. I don't know. Street Fighter feels like, like, you got, like, Chun Li in there. you got Delsam, Blanca. I mean, there's... God, damn.
Starting point is 00:54:33 This is all anime. I mean, you'd be amazed how much of this is just anime. But there's Rule 34 here of characters that it doesn't even make sense. Like, fucking Pokemon. What is going on? Yes, specific Pokemon. Like, does this specific Pokemon have more porn than, like, a cat girl from an anime? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:51 It's that. And it'll be, like, Weedle or something. Like, what is going on? There you go. Weble. That's a different thing. Weed or porn. Weedle.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Weedle. Weedle. Weedle. Weedle. He's a guy. I don't even like Pokemon or know much about it. You know who Weedle is. Weedle is a Pokemon.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I met Weibel. I'm going to post a picture of him. Look, there's Weedle. Take this Weedle. Weedle getting shifted by Geo dude. Somebody cores. I'm going to look, weedle porn. I'm Googling it right now.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Images. Oh God, Weedle, no. No! Your 13-year-old daughter's in the room. Weedle, what are you doing? Weedle, that won't fit in there. Weedle. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:55:36 So, I don't know if you saw this news last week, but they, scientists discovered the world's biggest spider web. Yeah, I saw that. I saw that, and it looks fucking really creepy. They were, like, pressing on it. It's like a whole civilization of underground spiders. 110,000. Or something.
Starting point is 00:55:57 So basically it says it's to do, it's made up of, it's 106 square meters, which is quite a large web. But there's two spiders that have worked, two species of spiders that have worked together to build it. Apparently, 69,000 domestic house spiders, also known as the Barn Funnel Weaver. Or, and then 42,000 prinigaroni, I think that's what you take for your hair when it comes out. which is a sheetweaver spider. There you go. I don't think they're particularly nice looking spiders. I got a prigiggeroni from looking at that wheedle porn.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I'll tell you what. Well, I wonder if prigigorogoroni has more porn than a wheedle. That's what you really want to know. I don't want to look up. Someone there has a spider fetish and they could just fuck off. Do not like do that. That's frightening stuff. Finally, Ryanair, there is a man, a hero who put his own life on the life.
Starting point is 00:56:57 line as he confronted the Huntington train attacker. Yes. Did you hear about this? Mr. Crean was scheduled to fly out to Austria on Wednesday as his forest side took on Sturm Graz in the Europa League. Sturm Graz! However, due to the injuries, due to his injuries from his heroic attacks, he missed his flight and Ryanair not only refused to refund him, but in fact.
Starting point is 00:57:27 advised him that if he wanted to get a refund, he should have taken out travel insurance to protect himself against the losses. So there you go, Ryanair. Classy, as always. Perhaps rightly so have not refunded Stephen Crean's. Excellent. Well done. Well done, Ryanair. Do you know what the dumb thing is? As soon as it becomes news, I guarantee they'll be like, oh, so this isn't a company policy, it was an error. Fuck off. This is 100% your policy. And the average person who doesn't have a cool story to back them up just get
Starting point is 00:57:57 fucked over by Ryan F. Fuck Ryan F. I think they do a lot of this shit because it's just free publicity as well. They do this shit because they just think, oh, well, we don't have to pay for advertising because we're just in the paper all the damn time. No, no, no, no, no. People still fly on them all the time. Like, it doesn't matter what they do. Like, they were trying to charge people to take breaths of air at one point on their planes
Starting point is 00:58:18 and people still fly on them. So I don't see how it could get any worse than that. But then I don't even think they really even fucking need to advertise if that's the case. Well, that's it. Like, there's no need, because you go there. You're like, well, I've only got three quid. I mean, to go to Spain. Oh, look at that.
Starting point is 00:58:33 I'll get a Royneur flight for £1.50. Perfect. Cheapest Ryanair flight. You're both right on this. But at the end of the day, I feel like Ryanair probably didn't know, right, that it was this hero when they didn't refund. I think it's just, you know, you miss your flight. You don't have any travel insurance. Just because you're a hero doesn't mean you get it refunded.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And also, how much is it to refund? 25 quid. Has he really, is he really about that much out of pocket? I'm just saying, I'm on both sides of this story. I can get to Spain for 30 quid. Hey, I'm going to Spain tomorrow. Lanzarotti, 30 quid. Not Lanzarotti, though.
Starting point is 00:59:08 I'm going to, I'm going to Madrid for the weekend tomorrow. Oh my God. This is a direct flight from Stansted to Alicante. Four hours? There's no way. Is it really that long? Well, so this man, Stephen Crean, poor man. He was a brave.
Starting point is 00:59:26 he confronted a train attack he was stabbed seven times and you know it was a whole thing it's gonna be a movie about it on Netflix in about six months time he marked my words
Starting point is 00:59:36 and he's gonna be played by like fucking bloody yeah one of them who's gonna fucking you don't even you don't even that David Tennant's gonna play

Starting point is 01:00:32 I don't get it. It's all so bad. I cannot stand anything about his films. I think they're massively over-appreciated for no reason. I think they're just shit. This was shit. Frankenstein was shit. Flankenstein.
