Pickax Hello, everyone, and welcome to the TRIFORs Once again, here once again. Brought to you by AI. That was an AI Lewis song. That's not me. That could have been. being me. No, that was me. Or A1, I should say, brought to you by A1. A1 strikes again. This podcast

is handcrafted, uh, handmade. That's the secret, right? That's the way it is. Everything's going to be human made. It's like your favorite grandma's secret recipe. I was saying I make my podcast. These podcasts do tend. My mother made them this way and her mother made them this way. I will never make a podcast any other way. Exactly. My teeth are made. I saw my teeth. My teeth spell out years ago.

My gums have hardened to take the spot of the teeth. I'm able to chew things just like I used to with teeth, but it's my gums. Just my jawbone. I put some of sugar in the podcast. Good God. Lovely stuff. So this week, it was, in the UK, it was fireworks.

Yeah. Did you guys do anything? I did actually. I went up to Brandon Hill Park, which is just in the middle of Bristol. It's right, sort of a big park behind the uni, and it was, I've never been up there before on Fireworks Night. I don't know why I went. Yeah, he's up there every day scoring.

Smoking weed and chatting to the shootings. What are you studying? Wow. We want to study something in my pets, maybe you're studying with reptiles and snakes, baby, hey? I didn't realize Donald Trump was up there. He didn't sound like that, does he? No, he doesn't say Bibbit. He doesn't say Bibbit.

Bim it. If I want to check out my snake, I'll be on Brandon Hill or whatever it's called. The, I thought it's a good place to get a good view of fireworks on the horizon, you know, across the city. And it was, but there was also a dearth of young people. I love death. Good word. Setting up fireworks in an impromptu manner. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Dirt does not mean there were loads of. That means there were barely any. Sorry, I mean in a negative context, though. Okay. No, but if you say there's a dirth of young people, you mean there are not, there are no young people. There's hardly any. In fact, insufficient.

Give me a word that means a large amount of negative. A surfeit. Negative. A, but that's not negative in its own. A surge. A surge. A surge. A dirge.

No, you meant a dirge. DERD, you know. So there was all these students. Too bar too many students is what you could just say. Well, do you know what? A lot of them were nice and fine and everything, but I think there were a lot of Bristol types there. And they had obviously,

they turned up with fireworks they bought. It was like a kind of bring your own fireworks impromptu free opportunity to just set them off somewhere. I think a lot of people don't have necessarily a green space. Yeah, especially there are students. Student accommodation. They haven't got somewhere to go, yeah. Well, so you're saying it was a bit of a war zone.

It was absolute war zone. It was chaos. We were stood there and, like, there were fireworks going off, like, all around us. They were, like, firing into the crowd. It was, like, you know, it was. I've never experienced anything like it, honestly. It had the classic thing of, like, something would go up and, like, whoop. It would, like, go up, right?

A big fire would go up. Yeah. And then it would go, poot. And, like, everyone would go, oh, because it didn't, you know. It was like, it promised, you know. Yeah. But it didn't deliver. A big bang.

But it did. delivered like a sad little poot. So can I just say that this is something interesting to talk about fireworks? I want to ask you guys a question because I'm intrigued to know your answer. This was when I was streaming last night and the conversation turned to fireworks. And people, some people were saying that the sort of public displays where you go along and everybody stands and ooze and ours and it's like a proper fireworks display, no problem. But people just being able to buy a box of fireworks and shoot them at each other and, you know,

fire them off in the road, in their gardeners, going into other people's gardens, all of this, is kind of mad, and that we shouldn't have it. Now, I'm not... That's all there is over here. There wasn't like a big fireworks. It's just all people with their own. So there's no big fireworks display on Jersey down at the harbour side or whatever. They don't do that. They don't do anything for it. Miserable buggers, aren't they? Well, even little... A lot of people... A lot of people do their own display.

Like, there's a couple of people launching on. I bet you there's a bunch of displays in Jersey. There must be a Jersey. Oh, not that I know of. Not, not... I'm Googling it. Not in the main town, at least. Maybe down in like... Jersey fireworks display.

Starburst fireworks. Fireworks displays in... Oh, that's just fireworks. Yeah. They do... They do a couple in the summer. They usually have a fireworks display for the Battle of Flowers,

which is an August thing. New Year's... Martin's charity bonfire display? Yeah, they have like little, little like bonfires that you can go to that probably have their own fireworks. But it's nothing like, you know, It's not like a big, you know, the town or the city putting it on this is just like a little private bonfires.

So, I mean, obviously, like, you can, yeah, you can absolutely buy your own fireworks. And I remember, you know, back in when I was in Essex, you know, when I was growing up, my friend would always buy big boxes of fireworks. And they would be called things like, you know, they all have these stupid names like Apocalypse Nightmare and Exploding Sunrise and, you know, stuff like that. They've all got names like roller coasters, you know. So what do you think? about the fact that it is kind of mad to think that we just sell explosives over the counter to anyone 18 or over. I think it's 18 over, come by fireworks.

Do you think it's kind of crazy? Do you think that we should do away with them? I don't mind other people doing it. Personally, I wouldn't. But having said that, we do buy the kids sparklers, which is different. Right. But like we had, we did like, we had a barbecue last night and the kids had spark. And then they toasted some marshmallows on the barbecue as well.

That's all we did. Fuck it. I'm going to buy some bloody fireworks. And we're going to have a little. Yeah, why not? Just do, just do, be safe. Get a little. Yeah, just a little one. You just need a little, like a six by four, like a barrel with some earth in it.

And it's like half price now because it's half fireworks night. It ends like buying an old, it's like buying a calendar. So you're saying get an old barrel. I don't have a barrel, but I'll find something. Or half of a barrel. You need something with some earth in it, and then that's your launch pad. And then just make sure everybody is stood way back and enjoy the show. Exactly.

Just give a few little files. It would be fun. I'll tell you what, the dogs don't like Bonfire Night around here. But it's only one, it's only a few days. Every time somebody launches a firework, it's like, all you can hear is about a hundred dogs all starting, like, barking. It is honestly the worst, yeah. I mean, it's really cruel for pets. Well, they're not in charge.

But you can get like dog safe fireworks that don't make the big booms. My guinea pigs didn't notice and neither did it. Because it's the noise that's the issue, right? Yeah. But, you know, my dog gets scared by all kinds of things. This is just one more thing. So I don't see why we should stop fireworks. You can get dog-friendly ones.

And they're not that. They're basically like. The dog-friendly ones are meat-flavored. Mmm, delicious. But so it is kind of mad. The dog run up to the lit one, honestly. It is kind of mad. We're just like, yes, here's your box of explosives and be careful, but there's no this

sort of oversight, is there? Like, you could just fucking set them off all that. It is kind of mad. But I just think it's a bit of chaotic fun. It's one of those things where people would go absolutely nuts if you tried to ban it, you know? Yeah, but it is just one of the few sort of chaotic fun things that people have. Yeah.

Whether we're just allowed to cut loose and fucking blow some shit up. I think it's, I think it's a nice reminder that, you know, we could just fucking blow shit up, but we don't. As long as you just occasionally let us blow some shit. People will really defend their rights to make noise, a lot of noise, right? Yeah, let me make it's a fucking blow shit up. Anything that makes a loud noise, I'm going to be so pissed if you try to take it away from me.

That's me. I make a lot of noise. No, but I'm talking about like explosive noises. I see. So the toilet is guns. Are you guys like the Americans with guns except you're like, you can't take our fireworks? Yeah. So, we are these.

Open carry and all. the things that they hold so dearly. Everyone should have a backpack teeming with rockets at all the time. Absolutely. Like a goblin on World of Warcraft, just like fucking millions of rockets sticking out all angles of the backpack and stuff. Yeah. I think it's one of those things that I'm looking at it now, the idea of fireworks just

being something that we all get to use is kind of like, it's one of those mad things that the fact that exists in society, we all just accept, like, well, it's just one of those things. Like being able to drive a car at 16 or 17 or whatever, just being able to get in a car and drive something that is incredibly dangerous, deadly. You're walking on the pavement two feet from someone who can barely drive, driving at 60 miles an hour if they're an idiot. That's fine. We deal with that. We'll clean up the pieces when all these terrible things happen. But, you know, it's like, well, it'll be worse if people didn't have cars. You've got to have cars. But it is crazy to think that just people, think of all the people out there that are completely.

the idiots. They're behind the wheel of a car, right? Like, their driver just like the good drivers. And we just kind of accept that. So we think it's the same with fireworks. Or there's more utility to cars. We do understand that decent, safe, good-minded people are not going to shoot fireworks and other people's pets. But there will be some dickheads. Or each other. Don't let the dickheads ruin it for everybody. Hey? Come on. So, that's often how things do get ruined, though. All it takes is one or two dickheads. One or two dickheads. Some of the deadliest. Well, okay,

fireworks tonight doesn't normally kill too many people. Fireworks injure a lot of people. I think in 2022, about 2,000 people were taken to A&E with burns. And the NHS website, someone Google, someone looked at the Burns and Scald's advice page every 21 seconds. That's just kids grabbing sparklers. There's a lot of that stuff going on. I don't think it kills a lot of people. A good trick if you were worried about burning your hand on the metal end of a sparkler is put a carrot on there. You can put a carrot on the and hold the carrot and you will not get burned. When you eat the carrot and then the sparklers.

You can eat it or just chuck it into the bonfire. Oh, I like that a lot. That's good. I mean, I remember that there was an advert for fireworks night. It was like one of those public service announcement adverts back in the 80s. A little girl who grabs a sparkler that's just been on. She grabs it by the end and she's like, she screams and it cuts to her with a massive bandage on her hand. That one advert scared my younger sister so much that she wouldn't go near a spot.

for years, like well into adulthood. Sparklers are the most dangerous firework. Yeah, they're stupid, but handing a child to sparkler. It's insane. But they should learn a little bit of safety. Again, it's not like more people die in traffic accidents going to firework displays than actually at firewood displays or setting up fireworks and stuff like this. Like you said, like, you know, I think on these, on these celebratory days, like the 4th of July or New Year or whatever, when people have been out late drinking.

Yeah. I think New Year is one of the most road deaths. Oh, God, yeah. It's terrible. I mean, alcohol, the fact that you can go into town and for a bit of money get absolutely fucking blasted in public and just roll around going, and everybody's like, that's fine, is, you know, it's kind of mad, isn't it? It's just one of those things that we as a society have sort of kind of accepted.

Yeah. Yeah. It's, I guess that's what I noticed last night. It did feel very, my partner felt very unsafe. I felt fine, but my partner was like, we shouldn't be here. just wear goggles because there were just so many you know there was it was like the whole place

stack of weed everyone was drinking thatches you know I mean it was like the most Bristol place you could have nice and they're just like you know there's like guys you know biking not down the hill you know like 100 miles an hour kind of thing it's it was quite quite wild

and fun but it's something different isn't it you know to the quaint display also lovely and warm it was like lovely climate change it was very It was very warm last night. You're right.

It was like 16 degrees. Now, I remember when I was a kid, I was barbecuing in my shorts, uphill both ways. When I went to a kid and went to these firework displays that, you know, or went out and to do fireworks in the garden with my dad, it was fucking freezing. Yeah, but you might have just been a little pussy back then as well. Everyone from... I believe even more a pussy now. Honestly.

Sorry. You know, it was like fucking zero degrees. And I always say this. Like, you know, because my birthday is 22nd of October. When I, the day I was born, it snowed. And, you know, it's hard to think that it would snow on October 22nd. I guess a freak weather. Climate change isn't much about it.

I remember it's snowing. Occasionally on Halloween when I was a kid. But not, not every Halloween. Like, you know, sometimes. So I don't know. It's just, just, just anyway, something to think about. I had a blast and maybe get those fireworks, Peeflex. There'll be, there'll be half price.

I'm thinking, you know, fuck it. But I don't think they're going to be cheaper because a lot of people have fireworks displays either weekend either side of the 5th of November. And, you know, DiVali and stuff is, and generally I think fireworks just, there seem to be some shops that sell them year round and get by. Yeah. I did go to Costco recently and they were selling fireworks. But, of course, being Costco, it was enough, it looked like you were taking ammo to resupply

a rebel army. Like, it was that much explosive. It really looked like, you know, you could imagine. and some fucking Hyundai booting at the round with a box of explosives in the back. I'll tell you what you do see in the news quite often is fireworks factories blowing up. Nothing to see here.

That naked gun bit where the fireworks factory is off fire. That's also in the Simpsons, isn't it? Oh, when are they going to get to the fireworks factory? Yeah, it's like, I don't know. It's exciting, but it's some of the worst fires ever are the ones in fire expatriaries, in the same way that a fire at an arsenal would be bad. Like, if you had a... It does sound hilarious.

I mean, it would be amazing to look up, but they are incredibly dangerous. What about a fire at a fire extinguisher factory, but like the whole thing goes up and can't be put out? The great irony. Yes. Oh, no. Oh, no. We were using petrol at our fire extinguishers. Yeah. I don't know.

I think bonfire night's fine. It was fun. Like, uh, I think Flax is right, though. I think the weekend is, is when. more stuff happens. I don't think. All right. Well,

keep the dog inside. Keep your dog in. You got a dog? Keep your bitch on its leash on the weekend. Woof. Jesus Christ. Guys, this is,

you're allowed to call a dog that. That's, no, it's like an old-timey phrasing, you know, they used to call. It always makes me laugh when, like,

when you deal with real dog people, like dog trainers or dog breeders, they'll refer to a bitch. Where'd you get your bitch? Yeah. The lovely bitch Who bred your bitch It's like damn

Now tell your bitch to heal And then tell your bitch to sit Call your bitch off You're looking between your wife Your bitch is misbehaving My wife can't straight me If I tell her to heal So it's one of the only times

You can actually just say that word And use it to its full potential Like all the time And they really roll it Bitch Tell your bitch to heal Yeah it's like Winston Winston Churchill with a

with a mouthful of marbles talking about dogs. Well, we must never allow our bitches to rather... We will allow the bitches on the beaches. Beaches on the beaches. Bitches on the beaches. Millions of bitches. Bitches for free. Well, of course, the other...

I love it when you can get those delicious pork of brains faggots to eat as well, aren't you? Yeah, you can, yeah. It's wonderful. Yeah. And I always regale them up with the story. You're going to eat mass. It's a meat dish as well in the UK. When you're done eating.

Damn. Oh, I've got something for you. I suppose this is courtesy of a Ben via Instagram. This isn't a mailbag. I thought this was funny. Is this a big up? No, this is not a big up. The Man versus Horse Marathon.

Have you heard of this? No. So this is, it's an annual race. It's 21 miles. It's runners on foot versus people on horse. back on a mixture of roads, trails, and quite mountainous terrain. Right. And it's in the Welsh town of, excuse me, Welsh people, I'll try.

Klanwechted Wells. That's got to be spot on what you just said. Maybe. There are other man versus what are you eating. I've got a sucky sweet because my throat was a little dry. Do you want me to take it out? Why did you put that in right before you said the Welsh thing? He's sucking down a pepper army right now.

Because in order to speak Welsh, you need a lot of phlegm in your throat. He's sucking the skin off. of a pepper army. Klanwethewetwels. Klanwerted Wells. Kenwetted Wells. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, actually, it might be Hlanwirtith-th-th-wels. Sorry, I'll try. How are people supposed to even begin to spell that if they want to look at up? You meant to speak Welsh. I mean, sorry, it's a different language. Maybe we shouldn't have invaded them and told them not to speak their language. Then it would be more widespread.

Right, go. Anyway. I think he's just disconnected. internet went out because you went, Hello? Oh, he's back. Hello? Yeah, sorry.

My internet's going to be a bit funky. I don't know what's going on. It's so nice for me not to be the one having this offer this week. This is what it was like with you. It's so nice. You'd be like, yeah, so okay, listen to this. Yeah. And then the, uh, it was just the time of year, time of year.

Maybe people are at home more so the internet's getting caned. I don't know. Yeah. But they are doing with some works in my area. Spawnfire night, Serge. Everybody's on there trying to get Burns advice from the fireworks. That's why it overloads the internet. So what were you saying about Clenwetted Wells?

It doesn't matter. But from 1980 to 2003, it was horse won every time. It was horse every time. Every time. The man versus horse marathon. It wasn't used to be more by horse. Right. And so who wins these marathons nowadays in the past, like, say five years?

Who has won them? Well, I'll tell you who. In the past five years, it was between 2020, 2021, there were no races because of COVID, even though you're outdoors, whatever. 2022, 2023, humans, 24, horse, 25, human. So humans have won three of the last four. Prior to that, from 2008 to 2019, horse, it was all horse. It was very rare.

People won twice in like 20, 40 years of racing. Maybe it's like passing the torch of a generation, because I feel like an older generation might have been more horse-savvy than a younger generation, you know? I think the horse on its own probably has a good shot of winning, but it really depends on who is commanding the horse, you know? True.

First of all, I would say. It's horse plus human on horse. Yeah, it's not just a horse. No, I know. But the person... And second of all... It's like a jockey. Horse won most of the time.

But Dewey Griffiths won this year, and he was a match. I know. Dewey Griffiths. Dewey. It's not Stuy. He won by 11, 12, 12 minutes. I like this, by the way. On the Wikipedia article for it, it's got the going.

You know that thing in horse rating where it says, oh, the going is good to soft. Yeah, soft to heavy. But they've also got weather. And sometimes it says unknown, which is I love. Because he just didn't record it. In 2020, in 2023, it was the word is sweltering. Yeah, I love that. It's sweltering.

Just a one word description of the way. on the day. Warm to hot. So apparently the thing is it's like quite rocky. Like it's a genuine sort of mountainy path, if you like. So for example, it's not just a straight shot along a road because horses would win. It's going up and down some quite rocky hills and dales, I guess. So humans have an advantage there because we're much more nimble than a horse. I am interested as well that Iola Evans, whoever she is, or whoever they are, won twice

on two different horses, one on Rydol Star and Rheedol Petra. Well, fighting the good fight. Must be related. Trying to ruin the horse supremacy. Maybe she just fucking hates horses. She hates them so much, and she's like, I'm going to train my ass off.

No, no, no, you're right, because the horse isn't aware of the race, effectively, right? And so you can push the horse as much as you want, but you can push the horse, beyond what it's healthy for and injure it, right? No, you can't. No, you can't.

You can't. You can't. You can't. Because there is a vet halfway round, the vet will inspect the horse and if they suspect the horse is tired,

they just stop the race then and there. Okay. You can't push the horse too much. They don't want, they don't want a sudden influx. They don't want a psychopathic killing their horses. Because people are like that

in any competition. But people that love their horses, wouldn't they like that? anything to win. Even a fun man versus horse race. Listen, Ray Jenkins, three-time winner, in a four-year span, 987 to 1990, Ray Jenkins on his horse, the doid, won three times in four years. You don't think Ray Jenkins loved his horse?

Huh? The doid? He probably didn't even know his horse. He probably just turned up on race day and was like, get ready, bitch. Bring me a man. Bring me my bitch. Bring me my bitch. Okay, first of all, Ray Jenkins.

Bray me, my bitch. Ray Jenkins did win on the doid, but he co-won with Bill George on Mando and with Chris Powell on Elki. So he actually had his mates hanging out with him and they had a joint victory. What kind of racist is this? There's like a 25,000 pound winning prize if they win. That's how they've been making all their money. Yeah. That's how they've done it.

They won 25 brand a year for three years. in a row? Well, actually, this was in the 60s, so I don't think the prize was all that. Well, even back then, that was like the price. The price, the be of inflation, you know, winning like 50 million per race nowadays. You could buy a house for that. You can buy a house for a fuck all. You know, it's like, it's crazy.

In the 1960s. Oh, God. My, my, my, uh, my, my, uh, my in-laws bought their three-bedroom house in 1988 for 40 grand. It's unbelievable. Yeah. Like that is unbelievable. Yeah, I'm buying this house.

Three bedroom houses now are like 800,000 pounds over here. Because I'm getting all this info, right, from the old deed and stuff. You know, when you buy a house, you get all this info coming in. And this house, obviously, it's quite old. But I think it was sold for like, I think I saw it, some, you know, some squirrelly, medieval style deed, you know, from about 100 years ago. Well, not even 100 years. I think it was some of the 70s or something, but they just did it more elaborate back

then. And I think it was sold for like $8,000 or something insane. That's insane. And I'm not paying that for that. That's for damn short. I don't think that's going to cover like me getting it cleaned. Holy shit. My mother-in-law was saying, though, that her dad used to earn six pounds a week. He used to work on the dust cart. He used to earn six pounds a week. But that was enough to pay your rent, buy groceries, and have money left over to do all sorts of stuff for the week. It's crazy to think, though. Like, those are back in the days where you could go and buy like an iced bun for like a penny and stuff, you know, like the volume of money was much lower.

I mean, it's crazy. The extent to which costs have risen is wild. It is. Before we go on with this fabulous podcast, let's talk about Aura Frames, our sponsor for today's episode.

No. He was not. This is super niche. He was born in 1882. What do you think he's famous? Around the time of Baron von Munchausen. I feel like he's famous for like some weird industry. Like he made he made like, you know, sheep skin undergarments or, you know, elastics. He made elastics. Believe it or not, you're not that far off in that he is involved in a niche industry. and he was considered very good at it. Right. Now, what do you think that industry is? So, so Victorian era, I'm thinking...

Well, late Victorian area. Pistons. Just pistons. So he came into his own. His work found its most important... Robber domestication. In the early 1900s. So, like, early part of the 20th century, important things are happening,

and Otto Baumbach's work was vital to something that was very important to something that was very famed. Plains. No. The S-Bens for toilets. No, but you're getting it on the right track. Something to do with personal hygiene? No.

Something to do with the with the WC. No, just something that's vaguely there. You said a word that was kind of close. S-bent? Yeah, but what is an S-Bent? It's a pipe. It's a pipe or a tube, perhaps. A tube, yeah.

What? So he made, he made tubes. He made, he was a glass blower. A glass blower. So he would make tubular glass. Yes, but he was so good at it that he made the glass tube that was used in this very famous experiment, the gold foil experiment, which was a landmark discovery about atoms and their nuclei and stuff like that. Right. This was his glass tubes that he blew, like artisanally, handmade glass tubes were vital. He could blow these perfectly, incredibly thin glass tubes. That was his whole thing.

That's also bound back. And now he's forgotten. But he's considered like integral to this experiment. One of the most famous two blowers of our time of modern times. And now he's forgotten. died in 1966. Yeah. We always, I mean, do you know what, though?

This is still the case today. There are some incredibly talented people making components across the world that I used. You know, and they're not realized. Not just components. all sorts of incredibly talented people making all sorts of incredibly talented things like Will Smith eating spaghetti. We just assume that everything's made in a machine and much of it is. Don't get me wrong.

But I think that you always hear that there's like some guy in a shed in fucking Japan somewhere who's the last guy making this component, which is apparently used by, I don't know, invidia or sorry. And it's all like this whole thing is propped up on a man. matchstick and that's that's this one Japanese guy holding up the fucking you know billion dollar AI industry because he's the only person in the world who can you know shave a fucking you know goose feather so thin or whatever because apparently you don't mean some some thing you can shave a cue you can shave a key and it'll be some

component from nature as well it'll be like oh you know this we can't make these at a factory as good as a grown or a spider's wing do I mean it's like oh this fucking thing A spider's wing. There's some nest of flying spiders or some shit, and there's a guy covered in him. And he's like, yeah, I've spent the whole life pulling the wings off flying spiders and turn, you know. That's why you never seen them. It wasn't for me. It wouldn't have your iPhone.

It's always like, there's always like from the Victorian era as well, all of their little luxuries were always things like that too. This intricate doll's house, the curtains on the shower are made of a thousand flyers. wings and stuff like that. It's always like these like stupid little intricate details that everybody's, wow. 60 dead tropical birds we made this to make this small basket, which I have, which I have disposed of after I take a shit in it. Yeah.

It's like, okay. Yeah. Well, I can go down at Smith's toys now and buy PJ Masks, uh, three set for like, uh, two pounds. So fuck you, I guess, you know, um, it's fucking ridiculous. It's crazy. But that's, uh,

That's what it was like back then and still is probably actually like that right now. Yeah, I think for the upper echelons of society, it's still a little bit like that. I tell you what, over here there's a big industry around getting like a low number plate. So you have like over here what you call J plates because it's Jersey. So all of the number plates start with a J. But then the sequences of numbers, I mean, mine is like six digits. Don't tell us your, don't tell us your number plate. But it's six digits.

But you can get J1, for example. You can get J3. You can get J69. Like some of like the low numbers are worth the JIS. Thousands. Oh, oh. Tens of thousands. Have you guys heard of this six, seven, me?

Yeah, we talked about it the other day. Did we? I mentioned it and you said I'd never, you'd never heard of it. No, no, but on Triforce? I think on stream when we were playing arc Raiders, I was talking about it. Oh, yeah. Gosh, no. Because I was saying,

at the time. And somehow still, we've avoided it. My son does not say it. But apparently it's much more American than anything else. It's everywhere. I can't live with TikTok and all these things. It's just, I don't, look, I don't think we're supposed to understand it. But I've just, when they figure out, then they could just be saying six nine instead. I just be looking at the wrong stuff because I've not, I've never heard anybody say that before. I've heard of it, but I've never, I've never watched something where somebody has said that. I've never heard that. Even John Stewart made, said 6-7 on last...

But so immediately that we're aware of it, as in grown-ups, and people on television like John Stewart, it's no longer a thing. Yeah, it's already done. Like, immediately it's done. Yeah. Because the moment parents say things like, oh, oh, Skibbidi-Ris Ohio, kids are like, fuck that, we're moving on. We've got to come up with something else they haven't heard of.

Exactly. And the best way to counter it is to listen to what they're saying, and... be really uncool with it and destroy their brain rot. We've wrought their brain faster that they can rot their brain. We de-rot it. We out-wrot them. That's the key. We have to out-wrot them.

Maybe it's time that my generation, Gen X, started come up with some brain rot of our own and just tried to make out that we were stupider than this young generation. That'd blow their mind. What did we? I mean, most of our slang, the equivalent to what the stuff they're saying now for us, or certainly for me and people I knew and grew up around was everything was gay everything was retarded

like that those were that that was the slang which is I think the slang now it doesn't make sense but at least it's not offensive but our slang is like mega offensive and has aged so so poorly yeah but it was like it wasn't even just kids saying it though adults would say these things on TV

everything like it was why I know we probably talk about it a lot But I still can't believe how just how widespread and common it was for these things to be said. It was on TV. Like people would say it like on the news, everything. It was just, you know, it was it was just acceptable slang back then. Said it on the news. Yeah. Well, it makes your day.

Said something super gay. Yeah, yeah. More at 10 with our reporter Jerry Cole. No, it was those. Thanks, Nick. I'm here on the steps of the White House where the president said something. so gay, I'm so retarded, the Congress decided to tell them an emergency meeting. This is like a South Park.

It is. Honestly. I know. It's like, oh, the deja vu. Yeah. Holy shit. But yeah, I do it. Like, some of the stuff that my son says, like, no cap and whatever, skibity and all the, all this stuff, at least it's, it's nonsensical, but it's not offensive. Yeah. It's not. It's offensive if you don't understand it. And it, and it, and you, and you find it annoying, I guess, but it's not... Yeah, but it's not offensive. Yeah. It's not like there's some skibbitty somewhere going.

Don't say skittity. Anyone in society or anything like that. It's just a word. It's just a dumb word. That doesn't have to make sense. But yeah, a lot of our stuff was just super offensive. But again, acceptable. I don't know if this is something that we've spoken about before, but this made me think of

something that I thought of the other day. I'm probably spoken about this because we did this podcast for so long. I can't fucking remember all of it. I know. It's going to happen. It is going to happen. So I was thinking, right, that the next evolution for actors, in fact, I definitely said this before, but fuck it, is that it's not enough to just be an actor and in a movie. I think that the next stage is that you now also have to have full-on porn-level sex in a mainstream movie and that the audiences will come to expect that. So, for example, let's say the 2016 film Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt,

Would that movie be worse if, at the midpoint when they fall in love, they have full-blown 18-plus porno-level sex for half an hour just to really cement the relationship, and then we just carry on with the movie. I see what you're saying. I'm just saying, I think it would put some bums and seats. I would, you know, they're two very hot properties at that point. I think it would put some cums in seats,

and then most people would leave like two minutes into the movie. No, it's in the midpoint. You've got to put it in the midpoint, right? People are very horny, but they want to do it in private, right? People want to be, and they can't help them. Any game, look at how popular anti-and-adult games are, or even Ballers Gate, anything with a bit of nudity. What's that new game that came out on Steam with the comic book? Dispatch.

Dispatch. It's a little, it does have like some, some potential to be horny. I've only done episode one and it wasn't overly horny. The tags. The tags are choices matter, story rich, sexual content, nudity. They're the four top tags on that theme game. And as a result, like, I think that, but it's a mainstream game. And it's like, oh, I can get my horny fix.

It is actually so well done, though. The dialogue and everything. So I actually think Pete Flax, this has already happened what you're saying in video games. Right, right. And what I'm saying is that the next step is that you have a movie, like in the same way that violence on screen becomes more and more realistic. the people falling in love and having sex on screen becomes more and more realistic

to the point where people will just expect actors to be as good at fucking as they are at acting. Well, here's the thing that's going to happen, Pflex, and I'm going to tell you this right now. There's not going to be time for this transition to happen because AI is going to sweep in and you can just type in this. You can say, degenerate me a sex scene

between these two actors and it will, it's happening. And it's honestly, you know, you can see it. If you know, if you want to, if you want to see that stuff, you can find it on the internet already. Fucking hell. It's, it's, it's, it's genuinely out there. So I could have Robert De Niro and Al Pacino fucking each other. You are 100% can.

You can't, you're talking to me. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on here. He got a great ass. Holy shit. Can you bring your bitch over? Bring your bitch round.

Man, I got to get on to AI after this. Joe Pesci in the cuck seat. That shit, Robert, give it to him right up the fucking ass. Right into the tucous. Do him in his fucking ass. In my cloud, I fucking amuse you. I'm here to watch you fuck. Is that what it is?

Lenny, put on the clown music. I'm fucking. But I'm going to fucking join in. That's it. I'm joining in. Don't join in, Joe. We spoke about this. Whoah!

Oh, my God. That's all the old, all the Chita says is. Oh, wha. He sounds like Danny DeVito in Sunny. Who was? Oh, God. I love that show so much. Anyway, I think for sure, like, you look at Amazon and it's just flooded with AI novels, AI books.

And I think part of it is the desire for people to want a very specific niche thing. Like, you know, they will, and to satisfy their desires. And in many ways, like, that is natural. Like, you know, I read, whenever you read a book or Pfax and Sips, I'm sure you're the same, like, you sort of, you get to a bit in your book and you're like, I wish you'd done this instead. Yeah. You can do that. You know, George O. Martin, we talked about this as well. He's like suing AI for like, you know, rewriting the bad end to Game of Thrones.

Do you mean, like, but you can, that's out there. You know, you can, and it's not going to be long before you can just put your request in almost live. You can be reading a book on your Kindle and be like, I wish this wasn't like this. Can you just rewrite it so it was, so this happened instead? it will fucking happen. That's the world we're living in. And that's, I think, crazy. Yeah, that's crazy.

Do you think there'll be a passenger's AI edit where Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt where he just fucking... I found it while you were talking. Yeah, I'll send it to you after. Rails her in the hyperdeck or whatever. Right in a fucking hyperdeck. Do you see that in Passengers film

with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence and fucks are all over that shit, mate? I'm going to go see that. Oh, man. So, yeah, talking of, like, fireworks, I, I watch a lot of, I watch a lot of, I'm just going to go back to fireworks. I'm just going to rewind. I watch a lot of shit on YouTube, which is like how it's made stuff, like factory stuff, right? I love watching just stuff spinning around and seeing these clever little machines that make stuff.

And like, because you assume, you know, that sparkler is handmade by, you know, or, I don't know, made in some special machine or whatever, or maybe, or maybe you have a picture of how your stuff is made, okay? And the reality is always startlingly different, both, both amazing and horrifying, okay, at the same time. Because a lot of these things I see are some factory making, I don't know, tennis balls or, I did see one making sparklers the other day, actually. But, and often they're just a YouTube short because that's what YouTube is now. And sometimes they're nice, clean Japanese factories. And sometimes they are literally a death trap. You know, you've got like a guy in Crocs, you know, he's covered in fill. He's got his like elbows deep in the sparkler mix, okay?

And he's like mixing it by hand. And then he's doing some very dangerous like forging or something where it's like, he's got like a red hot poker. He's got a cigarette in his mouth, you know, over the top of this firework fucking pool where and then he's standing in a pit of open batteries and stuff and, uh... Yeah, and his wife is there, and she looks just as bad as she's like fucking carrying all these heavy metal rods. And the kids all have like three arms and five eyes and... And exactly, and then they have, they put them all...

You know, you think, oh, she's just going to feed these this up sort of machine. No, no, no, she's like, dips them in one by one or whatever, and I'm like, give me a break. Do you mean? And half the comments are like, really interesting to see how fireworked are made. And it's like, the other half of the comments are like, what the fuck is this? This is like, how is this allowed, you know, the safety of this? And it blows my mind how much of these, how many of these factories are making stuff. And also the quality of it that comes out at the end, because you've got this filthy factory

for the filthy people doing stuff in a terrible way. And the products at the end is this like pristine set. of tennis balls, you know, it looks like, and you're like, how have they, how have they gone from this to this? Do you mean? It is astonishing. But like, like a lot of the stuff that you buy in the, in the store, you know, you just assume because the packaging looks nice and it's, it's presented nicely to you, that, you

know, these things are all being made in these really nice places, you know, state of the art factories or whatever. A hundred percent. That's the juxtaposition for me, really. It's seldom the case because it's, you know, it's. It saves them a lot of money by just getting a dude out in a field with his flip-flops on, risking his life every day to make tennis balls. It costs far less than it would to do it properly.

I just think he's made those tennis balls. More than half of the stuff that you buy comes from that rather than the nice factory. When they're playing tennis on the court, they'll give the tennis balls to the guy. And the player will look at a couple of them and just chuck a couple of them away. Like, nah, that guy's slaved to make. Yeah. You think it breaks his heart every time one is thrown away? He's like, that was my finest work this ball, and you throw it away like nothing. So I saw this thing and they were like, you know, hand-making artisanal olive oil or whatever the fuck, right?

And they had all these, they had this big pot in the middle and it was basically like two guys and they were, you know, filthy and the whole floor is all muddy and everything's filthy, of course. And it's like a main road. It's like, there's like a really busy main road, like right next to where this is happening, okay? And they get like an oxen, okay? An oxen, for real. And he walks in like circles around this thing, okay, for a bit. And then the oxen gets tired because you can see it's like it pans forward and obviously the oxen's tired. So they put him to one side.

And they have this little, what looks like a lawnmower replaced the oxen effectively. And the lawner is like chucky, chucky, chuggy, chugging, it's like vibrating like crazy. And it, you know, continues where the oxen was, grinding this olive oil up into nothing. And again, they get these beautiful, and they look like, mm, hand-made, handcrafted, small batch, olive oil, mm, extra virgin. And it's like, it just does not display the reality of where that came from. No. Well, you wouldn't buy it.

It's got a beautiful picture on it of like a Greek village, Germany with like an old grandma. Of course it does. It's like, oh, my good oil, I squeeze these my head. It's like, you would never buy those products if you knew where they were made or how they were made. Like a vast majority of them. We live like, we live these conditioned lives where it's like, don't ask those questions. Just buy this shit all the time, all these things that you think you need. I think what it's led to me thinking is just generally be horrified about the world that we live in.

But also, you do sometimes see the opposite, which is some absolutely clinically clean Japanese sandwich factory or something making these Japanese workers are creating lunches for the thousands of people in their town and they have this and they can tell that the cameras have been told that they're coming around because they are absolutely

on it. Every single speck and dust in the whole factory is like you know but you know that the in reality that I think every food that's released can have like a maximum of one 10,000th of it can be insect

It does depend on country by country, the amounts, but yes, you have to allow for it. You're allowed a certain amount of insect parts per meal. It's like, okay. And rat feces. You're allowed a tiny, a little, but there's a percentage. You're allowed a little snippet of rat feces. I think in fact, the rules are so stringent, because my partner's celiac, gluten is much more stringent than like rat feces or insect parts. Do you know me?

Yeah, we can all get by. The rules and that are much tight. I mean, I suppose. So they can do it. That's the thing. Make these things, you know, these glue and free factories can make these things with very low amounts of wheat flouring, you know. Yeah. But insect parts are much harder to reduce that amount.

Yeah, but they get in everywhere. I mean, think how big a factory is. It's huge. It's fucking huge. What, every day you're going to say, right, break everything down and check for bugs. No, it's impossible. Some of them are going to get in there. I'm not saying, it's like, it has to be like invidious chip factory.

I'm just saying, like, a little bit of fucking effort. There is effort. They've minimized it. the legal limits of cockroach parts of raties. Yeah, there might just be a couple of bug parts in you. Yeah, just get it down in your neck. We're all still here. It can't be that bad for you. It's, I'm sure, you know, why don't we deal with microplastics before we deal with

micro-bucs? It's extra potting. I don't know what you're moving about. If you don't eat your cockroach buttocks, you'll grow up poor. I'll tell you that. And your hair will fall out. Get some bug parts down your children. In fact, that's the old man I'd like to be at the park berating children, but with nonsense. You should all be eating.

more mosquitoes. I don't know what your parents are doing. Just really lecture them about some nonsense. That would be fun. I'll do that. Yeah. Oh, God. I like when they do a documentary on a, it's always British places that are like this.

You know, they go into like an office or a factory and all of like the workplace safety stuff looks like it's from the 90s and they all have, especially offices. They all have those like airlock doors. Like they have, they probably have like 70% more doors than they need, you know. There's always like there's like a straight. hallway but it'll have about six different airlock doors like going through it and it's got all like the health and safety the circles and the squares and stuff on it it's it's very oh it's all very british isn't it like you know like it's it never seems like like modern or high tech or

pristine it just always seems a little bit sort of like oh it's somebody's birthday so there's there's cakes everywhere and stuff you know like it's just it's always messy and just kind of a bit run down and shitty, but I don't know. I guess that's part of the charm, too. We've been, uh, just to, I just felt the subject had run out. If you want to keep talking about it, I was just going to bring up something else. Oh my God, I got loads more to say about this. No, I'm just joking. Carrie, care. No, no, go. I just, I felt that was a full stop. That is it. Yeah. Sorry, I completely ruined the whole conversation. I was just loading up. I was just loading up the lose news. I was just going to talk about

the fact that, um, we've been trying out. We'd sort of settled into a little groove of cooking, more or less the same things every week. We'd mix it up. We'd maybe do one. We'd maybe do one new thing. But in the last few weeks, we've been doing like four or five new recipes every week. Nice. So we'll get, we're on the New York Times app, which is good for cooking. And so this week, we've done human beef and green bean stir fry, which was really good. Nice. Cheasy baked Nyoki with spicy tomato sauce. That sounds good. Yeah. Butternut squash pasta with bacon and parmesan, which was really nice. And tonight, it'll be a coconut chicken curry. Obviously, you could substitute meat for whatever you want in all of these recipes. And

And we're going one non-meat, one meat, one meat, one meat. So make sure that, you know, we don't just eat meat all the time. Okay. And I think that it's a lot of fun. And I would recommend cooking some more stuff that is different. That's today shout out. Cooking. Porchetta beans recipe, for example.

Caramelized shallot pasta. Great. Red, red curry, red curry levels of sweet potato. Can I tell you something that may surprise you? Yeah. We cut up our old pumpkins and made homemade pumpkin soup with them. A classic Last week

And it was Not a fan of pumpkin soup myself But I do love Oh it was lovely Making making a soup We put big croutons in In the pumpkin soup

And it made all the different Did you make the crout You know Those were store-bought We did not make That's fine They are very easy to make If you ever wanted to

And you can make them massive Yeah Well I think we were just pleased that we actually made the pumpkin soup Because we normally Probably wouldn't But it was fun

Everybody Everybody helped out with three kids. With three kids, yeah. Do you mean? Like, my youngest will make, she will bake. Like, she baked a cake the other day. She just said, can you pick me up some unsalted butter? I need to bake this afternoon.

I was like, come home, give her the stuff. And within a few hours, bam, she's got a cake. She's iced. I need to bake. She's like, I'm baking. I want to bake. She finds it very relaxing. Nice.

Well, fair enough. That's a good skill to have, like you, to be able to bake stuff. The thing is, if you want to eat stuff like that, it's way better to make. it yourself than if you have the time and the inclination to make it yourself then to buy it because all the other crap that is in this stuff normally you know it's better to avoid so if you if you're just making your own cakes or whatever and it's all ingredients that you've seen and touched and you know exactly what's in them and they're all like base ingredients it's got to be a lot better for you right in the long run yeah no e numbers and all that all that crazy

shit that they put in all the uh sweets and cakes and stuff you know preservatives and all that you can't be a you can't beat a fresh cake man like like when they're still like a bit warm after they kind come out of the oven oh yeah oh yeah baby oh it is it's so good though it's the best what about like a fresh banana bread that's just come out of the oven oh like a banana bread right yeah i used I used to make a banana blondie, which was, it was a real fath to make. Stop if, I haven't had breakfast yet. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry, he's getting so hungry.

Let me get through this podcast. All right, Lulu. So, give us your news news. Lou's news today is scientists have discovered a new creature that exists in a third state between life and death. It's me in the morning. Okay, so. It's like a zombie.

Yeah, like, that's me when I wake up. I think it's, it's undead. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, idea that certain cells, when given nutrients, oxygen, electricity, or biochemical signals have a capacity to transform into new organisms, which exhibit new functions. Now, I feel like there's a little bit of this anyway, like with those stupid little sea monkeys and stuff. Stupid little sea monkeys. Well, sea monkeys are like little, like really tiny little shrimps, aren't they? That when you dehydrate them, they kind of dry out. And they're

out, but they are... You're telling me that when you dehydrate the sea monkeys, they dry out? Well, that's crazy. I think maybe it's the eggs, but something could last for long time, because they've, they've kind of evolved to be in a river that might dry out for a while. So, sea monkeys are sold as eggs. Or temporary pools. They're sold as eggs.

They're not just dried up creatures. No, but the eggs could survive for years. I see. Without, you know, dying. I remember, but they used to be in comic books. This is true. The Wikipedia article mentions, You'd read an old Spider-Man, and on one of the pages, they'd send him for your sea monkeys now.

And I was like, sea monkeys. I always blew my mind. And the illustrations of what they might look like were fanciful at best. Wildly lying would be another way of putting it. And I never got them, but what a boring toy to buy some prawn eggs or shrimp eggs and then watch them roll around. I mean, how dull is that? Speaking of toys, did you ever get the barrel of monkeys, they could all hook together?

you can make like a big chain of monkeys. Yeah, of course. I wonder if they'd still do those. It was like buckaroo or something. No, you just made a big chain of monkeys. Like they had, it was monkeys, but they have an arm above their head and an arm below. And you could hook them up and make a chain. You could make like a necklace of monkeys and stuff, yeah.

Yeah, that was the whole toy. We did use some of those in our Games Night Toy Story video actually as part of the set dressings. Because Alex just bought up old shit that he got car boot sales to make the set. You know, I'm honestly, I'm always impressed by how Alex puts together these incredible incredible sets that we have for games night with. He must have such a lot of junk in his house, though. Oh my God. Just like boxes of random crap.

And some sort of, it's almost like a hoarder's mind. He's like, oh, yeah, box a barrel of monkeys. I know exactly where that is. And he's like, you know, runs rummages through and finds these things. So yeah, next up, Google Home. Oh, my God. Actually, did you see I Ben linked me a thing the other day, which freaked me out? There's this like robot helper.

No. No, no planers in my house. Thank you. Um, is this robot helper horrible, horrified. All these robots that you see punch people in the nuts, they freak out when they fall over. Well, here's the thing. This AI robot helper that's, that's pitched as this thing that will help out old folks around their house. Yeah, like killing them.

Actually is, is basically just a, a, a, a robot with a guy with a VR headset on, driving it around from a computer, for real. So it's not a robot at all. It's not even, it's not AI or robot at all. it's basically a guy in a warehouse in probably India, you know, helping, you know, like looking around your parents' house, you know, helping them when they fall over and, you know, putting things away. Oh, that is, I cannot get on with that. That's nuts. Just that idea.

That frightening stuff. Holy shit. Sorry, that was not one of the articles we have. That's cool. Google Home apparently is hallucinating fictional entities. Excellent. So, okay, so a user's nest camera described an activity summary that said, Michael was taking out the trash, even though no one called Michael lives in the house.

When the user asked about it, Google's assistant replied that the nest camera can identify faces, even if you haven't explicitly named them. And it had spotted someone called Michael between October 26th and 27th. Jesus. That is pretty creepy. Here's something else for you. Have you guys got a Google phone? No.

What have you got? I've got an old Nokia. I've got a Samsung. No, but is it Android? Sorry. No, I don't have an Android.

Yes, yes. Okay. It'll work on Apple phone as well. If you click on the camera icon, bring up your gallery. I didn't know you could do this. I didn't know you could do this. And bring up your gallery of photos. And then, you know, when you click on the thing that shows you all the photos and

collections you've got and you can search. there. If you type something in, it will find pictures that match your query. So type in like passport, and it goes through your pictures and auto finds everything. You don't have to have tagged it. It just recognizes these are passports. Yeah, it's like looked at the picture and determine what's in the picture. It comes back with all the pictures I've got of Aggie and any other dogs I've taken pictures of, even videos. It just knows. Isn't that bonkers? Yeah, that's nuts. That is quite frightening. I could just, it's just going through my pictures. and trying to figure out what they are all the time.

Like, it's got that info because I was in the pharmacist the other day. I had to pick something up. The guy needed some ID because I was picking it up for my eldest, not for myself. And he said, do you have a picture of your passport on your phone? I was like, I don't know. I'd have to find it. And he goes, oh, just search passport. I was like, come on, I haven't named the picture.

Because just do it. And I did it. And it popped up. It blew my mind. Not even, not only that, but you can type, like, if you take it a screenshot and you type in like a word, like bank or password, it will show you. every, it will scan the pictures for words that have password on them and it will bring those up. It's crazy. It's nuts. But then he said to me, if you type wife, it'll come up with little

pictures of your wife. I said, what if I type wife and it comes up with different women? And it did. I searched wife and it came up with a bunch of different women that I have pictures of on my phone. Okay, so I just type wife and it said, which one's your wife? And it's come up with three pictures of me. That's the top line. A picture of my current partner. Two, pictures of my previous partner. Head Gwynn took twice. Duncan wants, Boba once. Tommy G., my friend.

Ozy, uh, Ravs, my dad, Duncan again, Spiff, Ozy again, Sarah from the office, Mango, Tommy G, Tommy G's partner. Just put all of them. Just say yes to all.

Just say I'm married to every one of these people. Sparkles. My mum. Ravs, Duncan, me again. This is insane. I love this. Oh, my God. Pedquid's baby is on this list.

Which was your wife? Oh, yes. The one-year-old. Yeah, don't say that. The FBI will turn up to your house like immediately. Holy shit. The list just goes on. My nan.

Who's sadly deceased. So it's just got all these pictures of people and it wants to know which one is your wife. They're out of my way. You're my wife now. It's also come up with some pictures from like Twilight Imperium cards of like the characters. It's like, yes, I'm married to, you know, the fucking queen of the robots. Jesus, anyway, that is the world we live in. It's mad.

We have Iceland apparently now has mosquitoes, which is exciting news for them. They must be so annoyed. Apparently it was one of the only areas in the world that was previously. hadn't got any mosquitoes but now it has got Iceland Iceland Iceland Is that because it's getting warmer there

or someone turned up with a jar of mosquitoes I think both Sir do you have any mosquitoes in your luggage No then they open the luggage Sir why is there 7,000 jars of mosquitoes in your luggage

Who put those there? Those are gnats Oh It's a sex thing God, has anyone got a mosquito fetish? I really hope not. I don't know. I reckon Quentin Tarantino probably has. Anyway, who else we got?

We got We got Waymo, which I don't know what that is. We don't have it here, but they... Waymo? Waymo. They are... Apparently we do have it here because they launched a commercial robo-taxie. Self-driving cars. Fuck off.

In 2026. So that's right. They're going to have robotaxies in London. This time next year, P-Flex, you are going to be talking about how you're Waymo. No. You way-mowed in. I'm going to Waymo over to sea, my friend. I think in previous episode, I might have spoken about the fact that eventually the dream is that nobody has to own a car.

And that you don't need to and there wouldn't be parking. Your road would be completely free of cars. Imagine that. There would be no parked cars along the side of your road. You could have plants growing there. Children could play in the road more readily. That would be wonderful. Fantastic.

When you need a car, you walk to the main road nearby, and you signal, I need a car to take me from here to there. It pulls up, you get in, it drops you off, job done. And it'll be much cheaper than car ownership. There's no need for MOTs and taxes. All take care of these big companies. That was my dream. I thought that would be fantastic. We'll cut down on so much for electric cars.

Traffic is a thing of the past. There's no traffic accidents because these cars are perfect. And then, it turns out, the people who are in charge of making this reality are fucking idiots. Yes. And they don't give a shit about any of the good stuff. They just want to rinse us for money as much as possible. So it's going to be shit. So I'm not looking forward to it anymore.

I was, but not anymore. Well, the thing is like, oh my God, I don't know. Were you talking to me about China last week? I was talking to someone about China last week. China. They just come back from China. It's a very big country. Short name for a big country.

They like rice. And I understand also noodles. We have rice and noodles here. They won't buy our rice or our noodles. We're going to make them buy them. We're going to make the Argentinians. beef into rice, turn it back into a noodle, dress it up as a soybean and fired into space. That's, that's so, so, so, so, so, so apparently everything obviously is controlled through

we chat. I don't know if you've heard of we chat, especially there, whatchat, but also, we do, we do chat. We do. They have, they're, it's basically their bank also their Google Maps and everything. When I went to China for work, we had to install WeChat, there was no other, like, platform. It's like everything. the app. But one of the things that it does, which blew my fucking mind,

was when you, like, plan your route, like, walking through the city, you can press on the app the buttons for the crossings. So when you get to the crossing, it's green. Fuck off. Isn't that inside? That is kind of nuts, yeah. I think it's like... How are people so important these days and in so much of a hurry

that they need to have the traffic crossing free press when they get there? So you turn up somewhere a couple of seconds early, before the walk sign is up and you think you got the whole thing to yourself and then suddenly there's just like this flood of people that turn up because they have timed it perfectly yeah oh so that is so crazy yeah I hate that that's the kind of that's just one example of I was talking to my friend who's just been out there and there's just one example of the kind of shit that they just have got going and it's mental so robotaxis I think are much more like to be taking shape out there than I saw a video of a Robo Taxi that was stuck.

Like, it couldn't figure out where to go. And the people were in the backseat of this thing, and it was just stuck behind a bus or something. No, it was just in the middle of the street holding it up. And you can hear people beeping and honking. People get out of their cars and bang on the hood of the Waymo. Move your fucking car. People like, we can't. We're not in control of it.

It's Waymo. We're on the phone with them now. So you have to call up Home Base and be like, uh, your car is just fucking stuck in the middle of the road. And it's not broken down. It just doesn't know what to do. please help man i saw this morning i saw a trade van trying to enter a parking lot but it had one of those like height restriction uh you know like the flappy bit of metal yeah yeah the flight the the the height restriction but he had a bunch of ladders on the roof of his of his truck so

he he bashed into them uh probably didn't remember that he had them up there or whatever and uh he couldn't get into the car park so there was all these cars behind him and the car directly behind him started honking. They could see what was going on and they started honking. So this guy just gets out of his van and starts walking over to the, to the, it was a land rover behind him. And there's a woman in there was just honking her horn. And he's like, what the fuck do you want me to do?

Like, how are you fucking helping right now? It was so funny. Like he just, he looked like just not even slightly disturbed by the. the fact that somebody was honking. Like, if somebody's honking at me, I'd be like, oh, my God, I'm so fucking stressed out. Somebody's honking at me or whatever. This guy must get honked all the time. He's just, he gets out and he's just like, what?

Like, what the fuck do you want me to do? Like, he was just like, he just didn't give a shit. And then he was just taking his time, getting his ladders off and everything. It was pretty good, actually. That's, uh, I feel like it's a good way of dealing with, uh, with honkers. And finally, in, um, more successful content creator news, Mr. Beast. Yeah. No.

No. Don't know him. He just seems like a cunt. He seems awful. But he's basically taking the next step towards being a billionaire because he is... Wonderful. He's starting his own bank. Right.

Wasn't he already wealthy though before he started? Oh, there's never enough. He needs more. I think he's already a billionaire on paper. But he's... Because I'm sure that he used to... This was the guy before he was known. And he became known for being, for donating, like big amounts of money to people on streams

and stuff like that. And that's kind of how he built up his, you know. Is he really only 27? He has that one smile, right? I know. He just has one, that weird one smile. He's only 27. But you've got to respect that he's joining the game, playing the game, right, with all these other mega-cunts who run the world.

He's becoming one of them. He's setting up like a mobile phone service because Ryan Reynolds has got a phone service called Mint Mobile. Yeah, because they're not rich enough. They need more money. And so the way to do that is to make a business and make even more money.

And then you can become a complete cunt. He's a cunt now. But obviously he's got the ghost restaurants, feastables, the lunchly thing, all of his like TV show stuff. And he's going to make up a fintech bank.

Good on him. But you know what? Take it to the man. Um, you know, I'd rather have Mr. Beast than Jeff Bezos and your mask and he's just another one of them. Wouldn't you? Yeah, he's just, he's just the next in line, really, isn't he? Yeah, it's just like a fucking perception of the, these are the moves he's making.

He's making, he's making, he's just a long line. He's making moves. You know, he looks creepy, but he might be all right. I'm not mad. I don't know. You're hedging your bet in case Mr. Beast gets interested in Jingleger. He does, he does play one of the board games I've played. Right.

There you go. You might have been to him on. This is maybe this is your end. June Imperium. This is you. Maybe this is you're in. I feel like a fan of June Imperium can't be that bad. Really?

Then again, maybe Zuckerberg plays. He might be a Harkona. Yeah, Zuckerberg plays Siv, mate. Isn't he like the best in the world at it? Self-recllaimed? Self-recllaimed. But, you know, that's that's our podcast. Fuck me.

What a time we live in. It's good, isn't it? Great. What a world we live in. Wonderful. That was some podcast. Thank you for joining us, everyone. God, what a great podcast.
