Pickax Pickax Hello friends and welcome back to the Triforce mailbag. I am Pyrion Flax and I am joined today by Lewis Brindley of the Yogscast. Hi. And Sips of the Yogscast. Hi. Are we ready to get crack straight into it with another gym?

I'm cracking. I'm crass. Crack me out. I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be. This is from Dale. You may remember me from such emails as The Isle of White is full of pedophiles. I hope you're all doing well. I thought I'd give a jingle a go. He did this on his phone. So it's a little bit of reverb. It's a minute long, but I think it's not bad. Okay. And we'll listen to it. You ready? In three, two, one play. Oh, nice. I like it. I like it already.

Nice chord change there. Nice chord. Yeah. nice chord progression very nice very nice this sounds it sounds like a like a 90s like an early 90s kind of yeah bell and sebastian yeah bell and sebastian or something yeah Triforce Mailback The Triforce Mailback And it's here once again To gather your friends

And listen to The Triforce Mailbag Mailbag The tune sounds a little familiar actually Like it's like maybe not exactly But like you can almost like You know like you could do this with hip hop sometimes too you can kind of take a track and then you can put like a freestyle over it or you could take

like the like the lyrical part of one track and then put it on top of like a different track like a different beat or whatever i feel like we just listen to like something like that like the song sounds familiar but then obviously the lyrics and stuff were we're totally unique um i'm just oh loads of emotions obviously uh thank you i'm like rivers of tears coming out of And making it on your phone, that is just... Very lo-fi classic. It felt very personal, you know? It felt like we were in the room with you, Dale.

Well, it's because Dale's stuck on the Isla White. He's got now what else to do. Oh, of course, yeah. He's hunting paedophiles. He's hunting them. He's in prisoning on them. He hasn't imprisoned anyone that we know of yet. He could be.

Or he is himself a paedophile currently sentenced to 20 years. I hope that's not the case. I don't want to speculate. I really hope that's not. Dale, if you're sending songs from jail, because you're in there, because you're paedophile. Stop making contact. Please stop emailing us.

Stop making contact with us, if that's the case. If that's Dale from jail, we don't want to know. I would watch a BBC TV show like Dexter style with a guy from the Isle of Wight hunting down pedos and killing him. What would be called? I think Bergerac is kind of like that. I don't think he hunted nonsors. He just solved crimes.

I'm sure there was one or two nonses in there, though. It would have had to have been. I'm tempted to Google Bergerac and Peterfile. Yeah, go on, see. I'm glad that's going to be in your search history. The CIA will come knocking at your door. This is a crossover that cannot exist, Mr. Forsyth. You're coming with me.

We're cuffing, boys. Nope. It says Bergerac reboot. Yeah, there has been a Bergerac reboot. Have you not heard of this? Yeah, but they're filming season two now. 10 years, it ran. I forgot Bergerac was set in Jersey.

My parents watch Birchirac every night when I was grown up. So was it incredible for you when you came to Jersey for the first time and you're like, damn? I mean, I say when I was growing up, I think I was about eight by the time. It would have been once a week. I don't think I ever watched it. That's where Jimbo's bed sit was that he lived in when he was fighting crime all the time. He would only just go back to sleep, though. He was so busy fighting crime.

It's a bit like midsummer murders. Same actor as well. You can't possibly imagine that so many. murders occur in a town of 200 people. But they do. And he's busy. And it's the same in Jersey. Very low crime. But, you know, I guess the cameras are just rolling for when the crimes actually do occur. But you could be fooled into thinking, hang on, there's like nonstop crime over here. Instead of hunting for like tax evasion, is he hunting for people that are actually paying taxes and arresting them? Because it's obviously against the code of Jersey.

The code of Jersey. The principles of Jersey. He's paying his taxes. Get him. He's not doing it, right? Yeah. All right, this is from Mr. Jefferson Coulson. That's the email. I am seeking the mature advice from you and your compatriots for a problem that I'm facing. However, I must first scold you in your most recent mailbag episode, number 59, this email is from August. Yourself and of all people, Lewis, were attempting to think of famous left-handed people,

and nobody mentioned Chris Trott. I had no idea. He was left-handed myself. I didn't know that Chris Trott was left-handed either. As for my issue. I'm at my wits end regarding people telling me how hot my mum is. I grew up in the era of people saying, I'd bang your mum, mate, so I'm used to that.

My issue comes in when people who haven't met my mum get that glazed look and afterwards genuinely rant about how hot my mum is. How lucky I am to get to see her every day. Well, what do I do? Do I thank them as they recount their fantasies with my mum? I mean, yeah. Or do I punch them or say nothing? Well, look, there's a difference between someone to say,

I bang your mom, my whore, to, oh, no, actually, mate, I would bang your mum. But, but being serious, please do you pass on to your... It's a really odd line to cross with somebody socially, though, isn't it? It is. I think you need new friends. I think you do, too. I think as harsh as it sounds, don't waste any time speaking to somebody who's already throwing up red flags like that.

It's only going to get worse. It's not going to get better. If they're throwing up red flags, they should see a doctor as well. I ate a whole bag of red flags. They haven't agreed with me. I'm trying to think if any of my mates had a mum that I fancied. Let me think back to the mums I've known. No, not one.

I grew up in an era where everybody's mom looked like they were in their 60s. And at the time, they would have been in their 30s. I know. I think it's like the 80s or whatever was just a weird time. Everybody looked a lot older than they actually were. If I think back to my parents when I was, say, a teenager, my parents would have been my age now and man they were like they were like they didn't even go to church but they were like church ladies like church people like like like librarians like you know they just they weren't fashionable or

you know they didn't seem to they just looked old and they still do I mean they they are actually old now right and I'm not just not just my parents like other people's parents like it was just I don't know what it was I guess maybe it's just part of the part of the time the era or whatever I don't know, but I just remember everybody looking really old and not being hip or fashionable in any way, you know, like. I mean, I don't know what it was genuinely. I know there's all kinds of speculation about, I mean, if you look at, there's loads of websites that show footballers, and this is from at the peak of their career at like 28 and

they look like a 50-year-old dude. Man, yeah. Like, people just used to be weathered back then. They did. Why, but yeah. I think just move up. I think just move up. Honestly, I think smoking probably did play something.

There's a lot of the hairstyles do a lot of it. It's a whole phenomenon, actually, this thing you're talking about. But it is a thing to do with photographs and how things have changed in lighting and all these other things that make you think of a certain age. There's like a geogess where you can... It's funny. I don't apply that to myself, but I suppose I do wear track shorts a lot. I don't know.

I don't feel like I actually look that. like old, old. I don't feel like I look like too old, but I guess maybe all those people probably thought that as well at the time. Yeah, but here you go. I think if as soon as you were a flat cap on, you look 10 years older, right?

Because people associate it with like an older look. And a mustache. Yeah. There's certain things, certain types of clothing or fabrics of clothing of an era. You know, you can't help but putting like an age on it. Even certain names.

Like I was watching some video the other day and it had an old lady called Enid in it. And I was like, Enid's still around? Do you mean? Is that still an old lady name? Enid was an old lady name 30 years ago. Do you know what I mean? There's a Bare Naked Lady's song called Enid from way back in the day.

I don't know if you're familiar with it. I think it's one of the worst names. You know, imagine your mum's called Enid. She's not hot. No one's saying that their hot mom, Enid. What about Deirdre? What about Dolores? Those are old names.

Deidreary, Enid, Dolores. You know, I knew a kid at my eldest in their year. There was a kid called Enid. A kid called Enid. Oh, my God. My son had a kid called Headley in his year, which is in Hedley Lamar. This is from Jacob. I want you guys, you probably already know this.

You guys are going to do this with me. You can play at home if you're sitting in front of a keyboard. Hold down shift, then control, then alt, then alt, then we. Windows and then press L. Right. I haven't done it. I'm waiting to hear what you've, what has happened. Have you not done it?

It opens LinkedIn. Right. I don't want to open LinkedIn. Isn't that weird that there is a Windows keyboard shortcut for LinkedIn. Does Microsoft own LinkedIn? They might have some, some sort of agreement with them or something. It says, would you like to give Period Flex access to your computer? It says.

And it's clicked yes. and now it's going on to my bank account. Now it's transferring. Sorry, Lewis. What the fuck is going on with your internet? I don't know. Sorry. I don't know.

I'm home. I tried so hard. I tried to pretend it wasn't happening, but it's awful. Pretending. But I don't know what is going on. It's just like, it sounds like an old modem or something. I have no idea.

Oh, me. Is the internet down in your area or something? Well, it's not down. It's dying, maybe. It's dead. Oh, man, oh, man. Sorry. Well, every listener will hear me speaking normally.

No, no, it's really cutting out a lot now. It's very strange. It's just to be more one-sided than normal this podcast. That's what it sounds like. Oh, man, oh man, oh man. He's gone. He's going to fix it. I do not think restarting Discord is going to help, sadly.

No, I think it's like, it must be, it must be like an ISP thing or something. Yeah, it must be, must be. It's really weird in this day and age. I'm just so used to having, man, touch wood, but reliable internet. I have bad, bad internet problems, like routinely. And I also understand that Virgin who I've been with for years and a fucking. shit are upgrading the cables in my area to fiber, proper fiber. And I'm like, that is definitely going to go wrong, and I'm definitely going to be without

internet for like weeks at a time because of this, because they're so incompetent. So I'm very, very, very concerned. Crazy. I would jump ship to another provider instantly if I could. And anyone that's ever watched my stream will know that Virgin Media, we have a bunch of commands. I have contacted everyone imaginable from various onboard men, Virgin Media, my MP, people at the council to try to resolve this issue, because they have a fucking monopoly in the area. Like, the next alternative is so much worse.

Why, what is the next alternative? Be able to do my job? I think it's fucking Sky or someone like that. It's like, it's the internet that they could offer you is so shit. Over here is really weird because we have Jersey Telecom, which is like the main provider. Right. But because it is a monopoly, uh, essentially, uh, they've had to make it seem like there are, competitors in the in the in the market space so we have uh air tel votophone and we have another company called sure and then we had a we had another company called new tell but i don't think it exists as new tell anymore i think it's rebranded but um they rent circuits from jersey

telecom so jersey telecom basically build all the infrastructure and invest in the infrastructure and then they resell some of the unused bits to these other third party providers. So you're still, you're still, you're still basically, you know, paying Jersey Telecom. So you might as well just go straight with Jersey Telecom. Like, you know what I mean? Why bother with a with a middleman? Like when it's just, they're just using their stuff anyway. It doesn't, it doesn't really make any sense, but I think it gives the illusion that there's some competition. And, you know, some people do use these other companies as well. Occasionally they do like a sale or whatever.

it's a little bit cheaper, but I don't know if there's much in it, you know? Fair. Fair. All right, let's do another email. I guess we'll just, Lewis is just going to have to wait. I don't know where he's gone, actually. He just messaged. He said, is he on his way into the office or something?

No, he said, Discord isn't loading now. I'm going to have to restart. Just carry on without me. Okay. Okay. All right. When the cats away, the mice will play. Let's go.

All right. Here's one. I'll post the new stuff. story for you. I'll post a link in here. This is from Wendell. This can't be a real name, but it's a great name. So the story is that a Swedish guy got stuck in his car. He was snowed in. He was trapped for two months. And he lived. Yeah. He survived for two months. Well, I suppose you could because you can get water from all the melting snow on your car. Right. But you're not really meant to go without food for two months. No, but I mean, I guess he had no choice. He had to. Maybe I understand that.

What if he found like a little, like a bag of peanuts or something? There's had to be something in his car. No, there's nothing. There's always food in my car, but I have three messy kids. So, you know, if push came to shove, there'd be like an old raisin or something on the, on the ground under one of their seats. But they're still going to give you a month, is it? It's not.

With this reason, I can survive another month. It's something, at least. It's better than nothing. Yeah, well, he was 45. They thought the car was just a wreck. They dug through to a window, saw movement. And he was in a sleeping bag on the back seat. Jesus.

He was very, very, very, very poor state. He just survived there, survived just eating a little bit of snow to get some water. He hadn't eaten anything since December. Oh, my God. So, yeah, it's pretty incredible. That is incredible, yeah. Yeah, that is nuts. What was it, that magician?

Remember, he sat in a box and didn't eat for like 40 days or something? I bet that's bullshit. I don't know why, but I think it's bullshit. Because his ice thing where he was frozen in an ice, he swapped in and out. He had like a body double. that he'd be like to that guy you don't you ever hear about him anymore I assume he had some Las Vegas residency

Maybe you just fucking hocus pocused himself off the planet And now for my final act I will disappear forever So in September 2020 He was a Las Vegas resident With his David Blaine live show So yeah that went to 2023 And then he went at the win

In 2020 and is still going So yeah he just three days of Three shows on three days a month. He does it. Right. So there you go. He just lives in Vegas. He works for three days a month.

Apparently. Not bad. It's pretty good. Pretty good going. Pretty good gig if you can get it. Yeah. So he doesn't need to tour. I probably gets paid a bunch of money.

Yeah, he probably gets paid loads. Yeah. He got to live in Vegas. He always had that style. He had that style where he go, watch. But I suppose he probably, he probably doesn't even live in Vegas. He probably just flies there for his three nights and then just goes back home. I mean, you could.

I mean, for three nights, you could live anywhere. He probably still lives in the UK. Yeah. I mean, Christ, you don't want to fucking live in Las Vegas. No, I wouldn't have thought so. I mean, I know people that live there and they say it's nice, but I wouldn't want to live there. I don't think. Although, I guess it depends what neighborhood you live in.

True. Hello, I'm back. He's back. I'm back. I had to restart. I don't know. Congratulations. Did you run to the office?

No. No. You should have, man. That would have done. You should have run. Football manager and age. This is from Dan. Right.

Hearing you guys talk about age the other day. reminded me of a similar chat I had with my friends. We're all late 20s. So deep down, we know we are not old at all, but still dreading 30. My friend said he knew he was getting old when he realized he was in an age where he would not sign himself on football manager. Right. I like that a lot. That is definitely something that comes up.

I didn't even have myself in my football manager games. What he's saying is, imagine if you were 30, you wouldn't sign a 30-year-old in football manager. You'd be like, I see too old. I see. He's like, ah, he's a bit old. I thought he created like his own. No, I don't know. He's like, if I was me in the game, if I was a player at my age, I'd be like, I'm not, I'm not signing him. He's over the hill. He's 30. Yeah, no, you want young bucks with good, with good building stats. Exactly. You don't want, I like that. Occasionally, though, you can get like a 30-year-old that's like, kind of like a, almost like a placeholder. You know that they're not going to progress much. you know they're only going to get older and get injured more

but they could still like fill a gap until you know some young buck gets better you know I mean I'll be honest with you there are sometimes the exact player you need is 30 or 32 because their mental stats are really good so you need some wise old head to put in the middle of the park put his foot on the ball look up ping that goalkeepers I find goalies yeah you can get an older goalie who's just got

incredible stats and it can just kind of carry you through part of the season or whatever is great. I never considered adding myself either, like at any point in these football manager. I think I'd just be constantly disappointed by the player. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah, you're just going to agree with me because you can't hear me. Yeah, this is weird. It's like that time, it's like that time period, you recorded your own audio in a sieve game just without us on it. And there was a whole track of you just doing your own

solo commentary and a multiplayer sit-game. Bizarre. I don't remember that. I don't remember that at all. Wait, did I audacity record just myself? Mm-hmm. You would just meet us and talk yourself. You'd be like, I don't know what these guys are talking about.

I'm just going to do my own thing. I'm building a temple. But I'm pretty sure I did that because I was fairly sure that we were meant to record our own audio the way we do for everything else. Yeah, but you don't like... I had to record the other day. I played some TTT with these guys, and I hadn't recorded in years. Like, I just wasn't set up for it at all.

I had to go, I had to do all this stuff. Yeah, it's tough. It is tough. Yeah, you're just like, I never used to use OBS to do any recording though back in the day. I used to use, uh, is it shadow play or something? Yeah, shadow play. Which was a lot easier. You could just mark it with audacity and a way you went sort of thing.

And before that, I used to use, um, fuck, what was the name of that program? There's a couple of, uh, a couple of capture programs that you could use. I can't remember the one that. Fraps. Fraps. That's the one. Fraps. Yeah, Fraps.

Good God. He used to burn like a frame rate into the top corner. So you'd always know it'd have been Fraps. That's it. All right. This is from George. This is a good email. This guy is a narcotics investigator in the US.

He's a cop. He's been doing it for a few years now. He's a plain clothes investigated with a drug unit. His job is to arrest drug users, convince them to purchase drugs from their dealer, who I investigate and build a case. are usually resulting in a search warrant of their home or a dramatic traffic stop after they return from a major city where they resupply their drugs.

So, when somebody is arrested, I lay out their choices. They can either work for me as a snitch and potentially an enough credit to work off their charges, or they can just go to jail. I've found that most of the time, the higher up the drug food chain you go, the more willing people are to work. The only people that say no are low-level dealers and users who still believe that street cred actually means something. Right. guy that was arrested for selling kilos of cocaine and immediately agreed to snitch on one

condition. He wanted to call his drug boss for permission. We agreed. And the man placed a call to Mexico and told his boss, likely a Mexican cartel, what his charges were. The boss hung up, and a few minutes later called back and said, yeah, you can burn this guy, this guy, and this guy only. If you need more, let me know. So they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can turn these three guys in. Because they don't want to lose him. He's too valuable. And it's better for them to know he's turned and who he's burning than for him to just do it of his own volition, I guess. One of my favorite methods to catch them is to use my Hot Girl Facebook account to communicate with known dealers, then agree to meet them to buy drugs. After a few days of

flirting, the horny bastards agree and will show up at the mall or area of my choosing with a bag of drugs. Only instead of meeting with Facebook Hot Girl in her van, they are greeted to buy a van full of plain clothes cups. That's pretty awesome. That is kind of cool, actually. It'd be good. It would be good if that was just like law enforcement just like across the board was just cool like that. Unfortunately, but like I said about the Isle of White guy. I love the idea of flipping the script, you know, having the scammer be the good guy. Yeah. Like the fact that having the catfish be doing it for good. Yeah. It is so juicy because you get to see all of that kind of hacky, scummy, like behaviour, like, you know, sneaking around doing this, like,

naughty thing, but with a, with a good outcome. Not that being a vigilante, like, Dexter is a good outcome. Yeah, yeah, let's not Dexter this. Let's just within the law. Yeah, exactly. Love it. Love to see it. That's, it's a, it's a neat way of doing it, isn't it?

It sounds like a real person with a real job that. I know. It's almost unbelievable that that is from a tri-fors listener. I know. Every time I get emails like this from people and they, they're like, hi there, my job is as follows. And I think that sounds like a responsible job that a grown-up would do. Why are you listening to this?

For a small African country. I just wanted to correct a point you guys made about anusers. Like, what are you talking about? Oh, man. This is insights from an engineer. Okay, so this guy's an engineer. This is Alex. A long-time fan of the podcast here to give you guys yet another email that goes,

I'm an expert. Here's why you guys are big idiot dumb-dums and I'm a big brain. Only joking, you guys are great. On a recent podcast, I found it funny. When you guys complained about how ludicrous it was that ammunition companies had to ask for more than three years to remove lead from their bullets. This was a few months ago now. I was talking about the fact that in the UK, they want to remove lead from bullets because all the shotgun hunters that go out and hunt, the lead goes into the environment and gets into other animals and it's just bad. So they want to replace it with a non-led metal. Yeah. Thinking that it was some way by these companies to try and postpone and

weasel out of the agreement. While I agree that those are factors to a certain extent, I think the request is much more reasonable than you might think. I work at a large train building company as a manufacturing engineer, which means that I'm the guy who takes the designs that the designers come up with on paper, figure out how to build them for real. When you look behind the scenes at a product development and manufacturing, there is a hell of a lot more work involving the respect. If I would suggest that a Single screw on the train be replaced with a size up, it may take a month or two of back-and-forth work before that change actually happens because of how many things are affected and need to be

adjusted for that change. Now compare that tiny change with this request to entirely replace the main component of the bullets. Between material research, design changes, supply chain, factory and infrastructure changes, I could easily see the job taking two to two and a half years. Add in the usual business delays and you start cutting it close to that three-year mark. So adding on a few years just to be safe is not too unbelievable. It's very interesting, Alex.

Thank you. I suppose I'm just ignorant for a change about the complexities of making bullets. I figured it was just like, well, the factory buys in lead pellets. Now they just buy some other ones in and put those in. But yeah, you're right. It's obviously much more complicated. Very cool. Thank you.

A nice email. A good email. A good email. I saw a thing about how I think the new Apple, one of the new Apple iPhones is using like titanium 3D printing like to make some of the components which is kind of

fascinating that that is happening on a, you know, on a scale of millions of things, you know, because I thought it was

a very niche sort of thing like 3D printing stuff out of titanium. Apparently that's, that's just going on. That's crazy. Did they melt the titanium?

Like, is it like a vat of melted titanium or something somehow? No, how does it print it? I have no idea. Is it little beads of titanium? How do they glue it together?

Does it heat it up? Is it welding? Hey, if you know, email in and let us know, please, because we're not going to speculate. Yeah, it's not like an ink jet. This is from a guy called Marco, and I think his last name is Shippost, but it's probably misreading that. Right. In episode 315, you asked, who would be the greatest grave robber? I can't believe we asked that question. That's easy.

The British Museum. Very good, Marco. Very good. Yes. Known grave robbers, the British, of course. Their museums are full of other people's cultural relics and stuff and riches from

ages past, right? Oh, God, yeah. Tons of them. Maybe they should have looked after him about. Here we go. Here we go. Ian Wade's Lewis Reform Brindley. Lewis Farage is on the case.

With a hot take. Lewis Farage. No, I'm fully on the side of giving them back except to the countries that are still currently war zones right

so you think that we're just looking after all the wars have been solved didn't you hear Trump solved like seven wars this year already and he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize and all the other if we are really concerned about like keeping them safe

we should move them somewhere like even safer like New Zealand The moon. The moon is quite saying. One of Zuckerberg's bunkers put him in there. Yeah. He's building a ton of bunkers.

Maybe he can spend some of his wealth buying them off the British Museum. Do you know what? Actually, the bunker thing is wild because if you were incredibly rich as Mark Zuckerberg is, and you were used to living an amazing lifestyle, I'm sure he is, if there was such an apocalypse that you needed to retreat to a bunker, your life is going to suck so much. Wouldn't you just rather die with everyone else? You should see his bunker. It's like, it's like better than any five-star hotel you've ever been to.

Can he go jet skiing in it? I don't want to live in a world where I can't jet ski. Yeah. The man loves to jet ski. He's probably got his own like 3D VR jet ski fucking simulator. It'll be shit. It's like, it's all like self-powered. There's like food and everything.

Yeah, but it's still a bunker. He can't go outside ever again. This is why he's spending so much. money on it. All the ghouls are prepping. The biggest prepper is going. Wouldn't you just rather die? Just kill me. If the world's going to end, I don't want to be around for the

finale where we all peter out into some cannibalistic ghoul existence. Just just kill me. Just kill me with the initial... They're ghouls right now. They are. They're ghouls. Only a few decades ago private citizens used to be largely private

Learned something recently that might interest you and Sips, brackets and bore Lewis, close brackets.

The Jersey Bulls FC play in a Southeast league because the Jersey Bulls is a football team in Jersey. So every away game, they're paying for flights to the mainland. And what's even crazier is that for home games, they pay for the away team to fly to them, along with linesmen, referees, etc. How can a lower division local football club, presumably with a few fans, afford all the transport fees?

And the answer he gives is JTC. What is JTC? Who knows? JTC, let me look it up really quick. JTC, Jersey. JTC is JTC Group, which is providing a wide range of corporate and private client administration services. So just a fucking corporate whank.

Yeah. Does that sound about right? Yeah. It's a global business owned by its people apparently. Yeah, what do they do? I don't know. Oh, private act three, real estate, credit. They're just VC.

They're a bunch of, they're money-wankers. Yeah. So, JTC pays it. Presumably, so he says, presumably they used the club. What did you think the island of Jersey was about Pflats? I know, but I thought maybe this company was something decent, but of course it's not. Zips used to work for money-wankers. That's why he was there in the first place.

That's it. Fair. That's why I came over here. I wanted to get in on the action, you know? The tax dodging action, yeah. So the, apparently JTC are probably using this as a tax dodging. or something like that to try and get a bit of PR

to make themselves not look like cunts. Yeah, probably. But no, well, it is a bit bullshit that they have to pay

to go to the other place but also pay to people to come to them. That's just, that's not on. It should be like one or the other, right?

One. You know? No, if you, if you live on an island by choice and you've asked to join a league which is not on an island,

nobody else is on the island and they're all poor clubs. They're not going to fucking pay every season I have to pay to fly everyone out there. Let me pitch you a different idea. Imagine you join a club and you're in Cornwall, right? And you have to play a game against Newcastle. That's quite a long fucking way.

Doesn't happen because the leagues are regional. What are you talking about? The leagues are regional at the lower leagues. I think Jersey gets lumped into the southwest, I think. Southeast. No, no, southeast. Like you said, yeah, so they're in the southeast. So the point is, if you are from Truro, you don't then have to play a

club in Carlisle, because first of all, the club wouldn't be able to afford it. So I was going to say, they probably fly from True Road to Carly is probably more than it is from True Road to Jersey. Right. At the non-pro level, it's, it's regionalized. Yeah. There's like the north, the south, and lower than that, it's like the south-east. You're not engaging in international matches.

No, you don't have to travel. Yeah, yeah. You normally have like a two-hour drive instead of a flight or whatever. Instead of an eight-hour drive or coach or whatever. But yes, once you get to the professional leagues, you do have to do it. No, I'm sure it's not a logistical nightmare, but it's already tough enough being on an island. Like, let's just do some. It costs a lot to get off of Jersey.

Booking.com flights to Jersey from, let's say, LHR going to Jersey. No, not New York. Jersey Airport, San Hellier, for one adult, travel date, I'm going to say, let's say, November. No, put a whole football team on. No, no, no, I'm just going to want to do 22 adults. Can you imagine, imagine, like, imagine that the sort of like pre-call comes through for that one. Oh, my God, somebody is trying to book 35 seats on the plane. I don't need to bring 22.

I don't need to bring 22 because 11 of the players are already there. That's the team I'm flying to play against. So I need to bring 11 plus 5, 6 substitutes. And they said the linesman and the ref as well. Right. So it's 131 pounds a pop. Yeah. That's not accurate, by the way.

That says if I fly out on the 1st of November from Gatwick at 625 and return. On what flight? On what flight, a one hour direct flight from Gatwick to Jersey? Yeah, what carrier? E. It's just an E easy jet. Right, okay. It's pretty cheap, actually.

For Jersey, that's cheap. That's pretty cheap. So if I did it with B.A. from London Heathrow, it's 181. Yeah. So let's say we're doing that. So we're doing that. They're doing that. I'm getting a calculator.

They're going on BA. They're worth it. You can't go business class because it's only a small flight. You can. There's no business. There is business class, but there's only like 10 seats. So let's say 25 people that allows for the first team, the manager, the kit man. Which one of the 11 do you leave out of first class?

It's four and a half grand to fly there. Four and a half grand for the flights. So JTC can fucking handle that. That's a lot. That's not too bad. It's a lot. A couple of buffet related emails now. This is, uh, uh, uh, Johan says,

Hi, I was standing in line for pancakes at the breakfast buffet when the kid in front of me put her hand into the bowl of rainbow sprinkles, or hundreds and thousands, as they are to many of our listeners, and grabbed a handful. Her mother horrified, took the child by the wrists and proceeded to pick and scrape the sticky sprinkles from her palm back into the sprinkles bowl. Putting them all back for the rest of the queue to enjoy. That is what's all. of these things are like.

They're not little nuggets of gold. You can just wipe them into the, into the bin. It's fine. Like what? Why is, who benefits from those going back in? There's so many of them. Like, that ball of hundreds of thousands is probably the same bowl that's been there for like 10 years.

You can never get through that many hundreds of thousands. There's no way. I was in a garden center the other day and there was a little girl who was just going through putting her fingers in. like all the different dirt of the different pot plant pots and pushing her over and just covered in it

covered in dirt and the parents were just like yeah, just allowing it to happen that's the same girl who's going to be putting her fingers all over those brownies in the garden centre cafe buffet, watch out indeed, good Laura, watch out Nathan has emailed in with what sounds like so it says your dream buffet

is what this is the title of the email is okay, ohoy there flax your talk of germ riddled buffets and mailbag 60 got me thinking I may have encountered your dream buffet scenario, sort of. During COVID, the mining industry was considered essential, but operations were constantly at risk of being quarantined or shut down, so extreme measures were taken to keep everyone healthy.

As a result, our dining experience at my mining camp went a bit like this. We were to wash hands and use sanitizer immediately upon entering the canteen. Those who didn't were warned and repeat offenders were fired. We then donned rubber gloves, which we wore for the duration of the meal. At the buffet, a plate was supposed to be. selected for us, and the chefs would put whatever food we selected onto our plates for us, we were not permitted to touch the plates, the counter, the tongs, or anything. We would then take our plates and sit alone at a table meant for six and quietly attempt

to eat whilst wearing the hand condoms, as he's called. This was the only time we were permitted to remove our masks, and phones were not allowed in the mess hall. It was a rather depressing affair. After the second night, I elected to get takeaway and eat dinner in my room instead. That is fair enough. I'll be honest with you. That does sell up my dream buffet. No other people. Yeah. And just clean.

No one's fucking kid is slapping the chicken before I decide to eat it. Like, it's just perfect. Can you imagine a restaurant except it was like some sort of radiation clean room. Yeah. God. You come in and they hose you down while you're in that suit. It puts the rubber yellow jackets on of the rebreathers. They go in there.

It's if one's like bumping into each other. Because they'll still cram it full of as many people as possible. Man, I used to love the Pizza Hut lunchtime buffet. Oh, man. I could eat so much pizza at Pizza Hut. There's not even one over here anymore. It's gone. You do become immune to the grossness of everything.

And then that, ironically, makes you ill and gives you immunity, I guess, later from all the germs that you consumed. I mean, I'm still sick right now from my getting whatever I have had again. I think it's, I don't know if it's COVID that I can get in. Too many beef injections. I have like this weird cycle of sniffles for like 24 hours. Very sniffly and snuffly. Yeah.

Runny nose. And then I get very hot and cold. And then for like a day or two. And then I get like not a cough, but like a tiny. This is just like a phone call with my mum. Let me throw. It's the same symptoms I get every time. It's so consistent.

Do you have a hot water bottle of an evening? My flat's warm enough at the moment, but I would do if it were winter. Right. And do you have one of those old style like iron cast iron ones or like a ceramic one? Or do you have you gone for the more modern sort of like the rubbery one with a cozy? Fuck, I've got a long worm style one actually. Oh, nice. Like a big hot worm that lives in your bed.

Warm worm, it's called. Warm worm. Yeah, check it out. I don't know if I like the sound of that. It's got a little face on it. This is from Jesse. This is a follow-up email from a couple of years ago. And I've got another follow-up email after that that might just blow your mind a little bit.

A follow-up email from a few years ago. Yeah. So Jesse says, I emailed in a few years back with a list of things that annoyed me. Right. It's been a minute, but this list still haunts me to my core. I'd like to believe in the past of years, I've grown as an individual, and these days, the list of things I'm annoyed by is largely limited to my cats.

Right. So the things that he complained about were Wonderbread trucks, people who use boiling water and wheatobics instead of milk, co-workers wishing you a happy birthday, people confusing venom with poison, lettuce leaves, and six, pharmacists pretending they know better than your doctor. These are Jesse's complaints. Some of those are fairly reasonable. These are all fantastic.

I would like to take the opportunity to apologize. to any pharmacists I offended, and any Australians I misrepresented. These days, I work at a job I love as a console and controller refurbisher, and I have a kid on the way in October, so I have a lot to be thankful for. I appreciate you all having been a formative part of my younger years. Fun fact, there are companies that sell cheese made from dog milk. There you go. Great email, Jesse.

Thank you. Thank you so much for the follow-up. Good to hear from you again. So is he saying he's reformed and are these things that used to annoy him? These things no longer annoy him. He's only annoyed by cats now. That's good to know. That is good to know.

What is annoying? I thought cats were supposed to a sort of, it hurts your life. His cats. His cats. In other words, life has improved. He's not an angry fellow anymore. Right. There's no need to be as angry.

He's passed away from his cats. Because they'll jump on your keyboard or they'll knock cups of tea over. You know, the usual kind of things. What he's saying is... That's what you pay for having for. No, no. Yeah, but that's what he's saying is nowadays the only thing that annoys me is my cats. In other words, occasionally they'll do something silly.

Rather than him getting angry, about pharmacists or Wonderbrick trucks. Do you understand? Yeah. Can I tell you guys this story about what Terry did the other day, please quickly? Oh, I can't wait for this. Right. It's too cold for him to be outside now.

So he's inside and we're just getting him ready to hibernate. But so he's in his little cage with his basking lamp on and stuff. And in the mornings, especially when the light goes on, he's a little bit feisty. So he paces around a bit and he's trying to sort of escape because he wants to go outside. If the sun's out and he goes outside, he's fine. But if he's stuck in his cage, he's a bit pissed off.

So he does this thing now because he's a bit bigger where he can kind of like climb up the cage part of the way. Like, because his front legs are very strong. So he kind of like loops them into the cage railing things and will lift himself up so that his back legs aren't even touching the ground anymore. okay he's like fully suspended in the air and but then this shocks him and he realizes he can't do that and then he just immediately falls backwards in slow motion onto his back and gets stuck and like okay good god it's unbelievable like i don't know why he does it or how he even does it

but he does it and it's crazy well he's definitely a love it's all i can say okay that's how you know he's what are yours right you know i mean he's not we didn't give birth to him though. No, but you've adopted him. He's proven himself one of the family. It's impressive how he does it though. But then when he's on his back, he does this thing where it's almost like he looks like he's

like dabbing, but it's like a very quick dab, you know, like and in like successive quick dabs, you know, because he's trying to like wiggle to get to write himself, but he can't. He's huge. Like if he's on his back, he's just stuck. on his back until one of us flips him over sort of thing um it's funny my daughter thinks it's like the most hilarious thing ever like she just anytime he falls on his back it doesn't even matter where she is she'll just come running from like miles away just to see him because he wants she wants to see him do this like this dab move that he does but it's like very quick you know like

because he's like he's panicking but he's not really panicking he knows like he's going to get flipped over but i think his instinct is just sort of like it's like goes He's flipped over before and he knows that he can figure it. It all works out. He's learned that it does work out. Clearly, these animals have been around an exceedingly long time. Yeah, they kind of know. This reminds me, I think I told this before when I went to the Bristol Zoo and it was still there. And there was a beetle on its back in the insect house. And it had been there so long, it had worked like a little moat around itself where it had just been digging out the sand because it had been waving its little legs for so long that it had moved all the sand away

from herself. And I went and knocked on the door, the officer, the lad that worked in the beat house and said, one of the Beatles is stuck on his back. And he said, well, that speech is a beetle that has existed for like 200 million years. So I think he knows what it's doing. I was like, I'm sorry, I'll leave you to it. Yeah. I guess there is. The same thing with turtles. Yeah. Wow. It's true. This is from Amber. All right. Now, I'm going to tell, I'm going to read you the email and then I'll give you the surprising fact that I thought was worth reading out about. Are you ready for this? Yes. Yeah. Hello, Perian. I'm sorry if you've answered this question in a video before, as I am a new viewer

over from Yog's cast Civ 5 videos. But what is your accent? A friend and I were wondering, and we couldn't quite pinpoint it. Sorry for the trivial question. Thanks, Amber. Hi, Amber. I'm English and was born here, and we have lived here for the last 30 years, but I lived in America until I was eight, so my early accent was an American one. Sometimes it still leaks out a bit. Thanks for your email Pflax. Hi, Perian. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply and answer my silly question. I was very nice of you. I passed on the email to my friend, too.

She'll be glad we finally got that mystery figured out. I have that kind of exchange all the time on email with fans. But my reply email was sent on December the 28th, 2013. Amber thanking me for my reply was spent on September 24th, 2025, a gap of 12 years. Okay. Oh, my God. Wow. What a late reply.

She necroed the hell out of your email. 12 years. Where was Amber? What was she doing for 12 years? It meant that she didn't reply. Was she in prison? She spent 12, she took 12 years to report that on to her friend. Yeah.

Finally cracked it. You know, I mean, what? I really want to know, was this, was her reply email actually lost on a server for 12 years? No way. And someone plugged it in and suddenly started sending all these emails out. No way. What's the deal? No, she probably.

I don't think email. fall down the back of... I think that's what happened. I don't even know how you would have that in your memory, like, even as a trigger activator where it's like, oh shit, I forgot to respond to that email from 12 years ago, right? Like it just like... I tell you what. She must have just been going through correspondence or something.

She might be she started listening again or something and she went through because she wanted to see that reply that she got. She jumped her memory and she typed in and said, I remember writing a letter to P-Flax back in the 12 years ago. Incredible. That's a long time.

I love it. I just don't know how on earth she found that email again to reply. You'd have to get sold by oldest.

But she didn't address it in the reply either. No. She just didn't. So because I follow up was your response took 12 years. How have you been?

Like, I hope you're well. And what the fuck? When did we start and I haven't heard back? When did we start doing stuff with you, Flax?

Well, no, no, no, you'll heal back, P-Flex in 12 years. That's what I'm thinking. In 12 years time, Was it 2013 that we started doing stuff with you? It might have been, it was probably before that.

We've spoken about this before. I started in 2011. Yeah. But I can't remember, like, what the circumstances were for you joining us and stuff. Was it through Dota or something? No, it was not. So there was a video 12 years ago that I did of Guns of Icarus, which is on my channel, and the crew that I had on my ship.

Was that through Polaris at the time? Yeah. The crew was, oh, these are different people. I did another one. I did one with some of the yogs anyway. It was like Simon and Lewis, I think Total Biscuit was on one of the other ships with a bunch of guys. It was like, Crendor was there. And for some reason, they'd pulled me in.

And I think I was on the same ship as Lewis and Simon, and maybe we just had fun hanging out. And maybe Lewis looked on my channel and was like, oh, this guy's not a complete maniac. We could probably work with him or something. I don't know. Yeah, I was a fan. I was a P-Flex fan. He was an O-G-P-Flex fan. Oh, I was a SIG fan as well.

Yeah. I still am. What a lovely guy. What a good guy. Not so much a P-Flex fan. This is, you say that, Lewis, but Jorge. Jorge. Yeah.

And, oh, apparently, sorry, George. George. He's Portuguese, and their Jay sounds like the English one. So, yeah, it's Joche or something, I think. Because, like, you know, people say, José Marini. Jose Marino, I think. Anyway, him and his girlfriend Elim, they have watched peculiar portions.

Could the Yogs survive on a desert island? And I was placed in the B tier. And they asked for my take on that. And interestingly, I watched that segment in order to respond to this email. And Simon said, correctly, didn't P-Flax do some stuff in the cadets when he was at school? And Lewis, with total authority, looked straight to the camera, said no. Even though we've spoken at length, multiple times of this podcast. No, Lewis has like a thing, been in the cadets.

Lewis wants to be the only person who's ever been in the cadets is something I've learned about Lewis over the years. I cannot. You can't, you can't claim to been in the cadets or have any sort of like extra, like a military sort of focused training because Lewis was in the cadets and you're not going to steal that spotlight. I'm assuming you spent longer in the States than you did, though, I always forget. Look, we also, you can't expect me to remember anything we talk about. A's a long time to have lived somewhere, though. Like, my daughter's nine. If we, if we lived, I mean, we've lived here for her whole life and then we move somewhere

else. Like, she's got a, like, you know, full, like British accent, everything. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Where did I put Sips? Um, I can't remember. I didn't, I couldn't see. Probably read it.

The video's very long. I tried to scan through and find the final placement. You had Lydia down and. a very bottom tier, which I actually agree with. Well, you don't think Lydia would be any good on a desert island? Have you ever seen the woman cut a carrot? No? It's like the most dangerous thing I've ever seen.

She cannot use a knife. So I'm thinking that's a basic survival. Well, there's not going to be a knife on a desert island. She's going to have to fashion herself some sort of tool out of stone and wood. She's also got a gammy knee from falling down the stairs and breaking her knee. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, obviously, there's already a scale.

None of us are outdoorsmen, really. Right, but this is the tier list based on what we've got to work. Have you guys ever done a portage before? Exactly. Because I have, yeah. Well, they're, so you were quite high up on the list. I should be a high up. Technically, I should be way up there.

You're in the B tier, actually, yeah. I should be. Duncan was put in S tier because he goes camping. He goes to Glastonbury. Yeah. Annually. I know. I wouldn't say that that's the same thing.

He does like five or six vessels. He does drugs in a field for a week. It's like, he eats those sticky, you know, soil-flavored stink, the sprinkle buffets that kids have, you know, have their fingers in. He's so, he's got such high constitution, does he? You know, he's, whereas I have, like, no constitution, you know, I'll go outside and, like, the wind will, like, make me wheezy, do you know what? Yeah.

Whereas, you know, Hap films as well, they can, they can go off and, you know, Smithy. Absolutely. Smithy of the three is probably, they're a good team. the most outdoors. Dav as well. I think Dav would be loud. He's just, you know, you wake up, he's already chopped three trees down for firewood and everything.

I think him. Dr. Simon Clark. No, I wouldn't trust him. You don't? He's a bookish nerd. Yeah, but he probably would know a thing though, too, about like wild berries. He's a dorky dwee. No, he'd be like, actually, he's a berry of the senator.

She's quite delicate, quite a delicacy in some reasons. I'd fucking kill him with a rock and eat him. I think some of that information would be, would be useful though, no? No, he's a dead man. Dead man walking. Right. Yeah, we did, we, we, we were not sure where to put, we don't want to offend people, but I think, I think everyone knows they'd be pretty hopeless.

You can't offend your friends by tier listing them based on how much you think they'd survive on a desert island. Like, if you were ranking us, based on all the people that you know by how much you like them, okay. Okay. Do that too, this. Duncan. Yeah, do that.

That would be an interesting one. How much do we like our, how much do you like? How much do you like people that you within your sort of immediate sphere of influence, you know? That would be the most controversial, but the funniest fucking video. These are the kind of two lists that I think we should be pushing people to do though. No, you're like, we don't need to know about what your favorite cereal is and not and stuff. Let's get down to the nitty gritty.

Let's start ranking other people on there. Let's get some controversial shit out there. Get all the women associated with the Yogscast and rank them by looks. That would be fine. Yeah, that would be a great tier list to do as well. Yeah. What about, okay, what about ranking all of the guys in the Oggs cast by how big or small you think their cock is as well? Follow the video.

The proof. You could be like naked attraction. You could get, you could get everybody behind a screen where just their cock is hanging out. And then you have to guess whose cock it is as well as a follow-up. We could do like a glory hole video as well. Moving on, this is from Willow, a gaping vagina haveer, while recovering from Superpoising-Relating experience. Seems like such a funny name to have.

You wouldn't associate somebody called Willow with having a big gaping cavernous vagina, would you? Probably not. It sounds like a like a dainty sort of petite name, you know? It does, it does. It'd be like calling a man with like a nine-foot python, pee-wee, you know? Yeah, but that's ironic. You know, it's like Jimmy the hat or whatever.

He doesn't wear a hat. So while Willow was recovering from food poisoning, a friend recommended putting on the talking triangles, that's us, to make me feel better. I've played some bits for the podcast before for her, and here is her impression of you guys. So this is Willow's friend, a non-fan and non-listener, who's only heard bits and bobs of the podcast.

This is their impression of us. Right. Oh, we're guys with clarinets, and we have kids, and we make it our whole personality, Also, we play D&D in the basement, even though we have wives. Also, we hate this thing. That's the impression. I think that's very unfair.

First of all, we don't play clarinets. I don't know where that's coming. I played that's, no, that's spot on it, and I'm relieved that that's all it is, you know. It could be much closer to the truth, which is that we're agri. I love the comment about playing D&D in the basement, even though we have wives. yeah apparently nerd stuff's only for single people sorry sorry d and d fans out there but you fucking virgin they could be fucking their wives but they're playing d and d in the basement it's dead well they're fucking three charisma that's why they're fucking their wives all the time

go fuck your wife nerd oh god i have a good one yeah because you play d and d in the basement like a nerd like a single virgin nerd that's the implication it's unfair yeah it's unfair i mean the reason i'm not is because sometimes i just get tired of all the fucking I'm doing, you know? Like, I just need a break. Yep. This is from Minick. In an old video, Lewis casually mentioned that he had a thing for caravan hooks as a child. Right. Because you please ask him about it. I can't stop thinking about it. Now, explain, what is a caravan hook? A caravan hook is something which you would attach to the back of your car. Yeah, like a trailer hitch. I see. It's like a little knob shaped. It's like a little door knob

thing that's around. It's round. It's like a ball. Oh, yeah. I know the thing you mean. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. In the UK, they attached the back of a car and it looks like a ball kind of thing. And for some reason, either me or my brother, I can't remember which. I think it could have been either me or my brother.

Any time we were like, you know, off, we would walk in anywhere, like through a car park or whatever, we'd have a keep an eye out in case there were any caravan hooks on the backs of cars and we'd have to touch them. That's weird.

I used to work with a guy who used to describe women he thought was attractive by whether or not they would be able to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. Indeed, yeah. Or suck a basketball through a garden hose was another one. There's another tier list for the Yorkshire ladies. Could she suck the chrome off a trailer? Yeah. Yeah, let's do a tier list on people that you've worked with and their misogyny.

That would be a good tier list as well. Some great sayings in there, some really good ones. I don't know. I don't know where it started or why it was like that or what, you know, different time, different time. Next. Do you want some coffee facts or would you like something more interesting? Let's just have a couple of quick coffee facts and then we're done.

I got to go. We'll take whatever. This is from James. Hi, lads. I'm a coffee roaster in Western Australia. And a company I work for gets a wide variety of coffee beans. from around the world. Nice.

Basically, anywhere along the equator can produce coffee from China to Hawaii. Wow. And I'm lucky enough that we have 16 different beans for sale at any given time. Presumably, he means variety of bean, not just 16 beans. And do you ever mix the beans and try to make your own cool brews? That's not part of the email, I'm afraid. Sorry. I thought I'd compile some interesting facts I've learned when researching the origin stories

for some of our coffees. Vietnam is the second largest producer of coffee in the world, after which country? Colombia. Brazil? Brazil. So, Vietnam produces 29,000, 60 kilogram bags last year.

Another way of saying that would be, well, let me think, I don't know, a lot of bags. Carry the three. India's coffee production predates the country's tea production by about 170 years. Wow. It's believed the first coffee seeds were smuggled into India from Yemen by a saint called Baba Bhudan when he was returning from a pilgrimage. Curse that, Baba Bhudan.

Baba Bhudan. The French played a large part in introducing coffee to various parts of the world, notably Mexico and Vietnam, where coffee production has grown into a thriving industry. One of the largest issues facing the coffee industry in Peru is transportation. Growing takes place deep within the Amazon rainforest, where environmental conditions often cause delays in transportation, along with political and civil unrest within the country.

Interesting. Ethiopia is believed to be where coffee originated, and today is an integral part of the world. their economy. There's believed to be about two million households who produce within the country. That's just, that's households. So multiple people within that house. One final thing for gross eating habits, which I didn't want to do again, but since you've given us all these facts, James, a place I work at has a cafe and a build your own bagel system, like Build a Bear, but with a bagel. The worst bagel I've seen is a fruit bagel with Nutella, peanut butter,

double jalapeno cream cheese, normal cream cheese, pickles, salami, and ham. That sounds disgusting. Was the person who ordered that pregnant at the time? That sounds like I'm pregnant and I'm craving all sorts of outlandish food. Yeah. That kind of order. That sounds disgusting, man. So there's way too much going on there. That's impressive.

Also, one quick final email, since that one wasn't funny, this one made me laugh. This is from S. I was talking to my 18-year-old cousin about TV when I mentioned the Breaking Bad, Better Callsaw, Mexico filter, which they apply a sort of yellow filter. and S says it makes everything look like piss and he agreed and then added oh yeah I also hate the grey UK filter I asked him to clarify and he said the filter they put on UK TV shows

to make it look all grey and there is no such thing as the UK filter it's just a very grey place I'm sorry to say that's funny I like that oh that's funny I wish there was just a filter

but no sadly it is literally just very grey it's pretty it's it's quite green and floral in the countryside during the summer for the week of summer that we get. But otherwise, yeah, it's pretty gray and dreary. It's a dreary place. I like it, though. It's kind of comforting at the same time.

It is. Yeah, we're used to the dreary. It's reliably dingy, I'd say. I know that when I first moved here, when I got off the plane, I honestly thought, gosh, I hope the weather gets better than this. And it was just, it was damp. Yes, there's a feeling of damp and cold and grayness in Britain. It's a very, it's a very big island, isn't it?

You are going to get some, some damp. Yeah, we are. Anyway, hey, on that cheerful note about the grayness of our beautiful nation, we're going to have to bid you guys adjure until next time. Thank you for all the emails. Keep them coming. Keep them coming. Keep them coming. Keep them coming. Yeah. And see you next time. Thanks so much. All right. Thank you. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye.
