Hello and good morning and welcome or good evening to the Triforce podcast. Sips. Yeah. Hello. Hi. P-Flex. Hello. Hello.

Oh, you've got us. We're here at home, surprisingly. Still. We're doing all right. Still. Is everyone crazy yet or are you all holding on? What crazy things have you done this week? Oh, man.

Sips. Gone. I went to the bathroom a couple of times. I ate. Oh, man. It's crazy times we live in now. Have you been eating more? I've been eating more just because I'm bored.

I just eat like the same. Just, you know. I don't know. I feel like maybe there's like a habit thing, though, because normally I get up in the morning. I make breakfast. I come into the office. I'm in the office all day. And then I get home in the evening and usually eat straight away.

Yeah. And then, you know, I guess I've just used the idea of opening the fridge when I'm on my own and just seeing what's in there. Just when I'm bored, I look in the fridge and eat'm on my own and just seeing what's in there just when i'm bored i look in the fridge yeah it's a really bad habit i need to try and break somehow and i don't know maybe i need like an alarm on the fridge or something like maybe like a hand comes out and slaps me we don't store any of the good stuff in the fridge like all the chocolate and stuff is is stored like in a cupboard so my go-to is like oh what's in that cupboard but there's like nothing in there now so i need i need like i need like um something to stop me doing it i need like to have

to put in a long code or something yeah like a zapper or something electric or not something like to like not something bad but something that makes it's like do i really can i really be asked to get uh another you know pack of you know chocolate popcorn out of here or whatever do you mean just saying because sometimes i don't really want it probably i'm not that bothered yeah but i was the same when i ate three of my kids um uh easter eggs uh i wish there was something that would stop me doing this and you're the you're the trash can though you don't want those to go to waste that's it you know that's that's the dad trash can it's like you know if if if someone doesn't want well I gotta make sure they eat healthy too and they'll never be able to eat healthy if there's that much chocolate in the house so I'm doing everybody a

favor by eating it all yeah well exactly you're sacrificing yourself put yourself on the line like the male leader of the family you are it's like the modern thing you used to go to war yeah and fight for your country and fight for your family but now you're just there scoffing like all of the remains of the pizza that people couldn't eat that's it yeah for the good of to save them from pizza yes when they don't eat their broccoli no i don't you know there's certain things that's what terry's for yeah there's certain things that you'll like take one for the team and and finish what what they haven't sort of thing but then there's other things just like that's going in the garbage it is a team it's a team effort i found that uh

i'm definitely eating more because everybody's here. So everybody's talking about food. Like, oh, what are we going to have for breakfast? And daddy, I haven't had breakfast and everything like that. Normally, I get up and they have breakfast so early that I've just barely drunk my tea. I have no interest in food. Whereas now the kids have no tight schedule. They're sometimes having breakfast at like 10, which is more my kind of time to eat something and then I'll eat as well.

Whereas sometimes, most days, I'll get up, take them to school, come back and I won't eat until lunchtime. And I might just have something to eat. Like I generally eat less when I'm just on my own in the house because it's like, I'm just lazy. I find I eat less when I have something fun I really want to do. Like when I'm like in playing a game that I just can't, sometimes you're playing a game and you need to pee, but you're so into the game, you're like, I'm just gonna, you don't realize you're doing it, but you're like, you don't drink, you don't like, you don't, you just, and then you at a certain point, you're like, okay, I have to stop playing

this now. I know sometimes games get very like good ones get very addicting. I think I know how good a game is based on how much I'm, like, not, how much I'm neglecting my own body to play the game, you know? Like, a bad game, I'll get bored all the time and stop and have to, like, ugh. Like, if I'm watching a bad movie, I'll just have to, I'll find myself just constantly pausing it, tabbing out, doing something else. Yeah. You know, and then coming back to it and being like, oh, I finish this movie off yeah i usually just kind of otherwise you don't even finish those half the time if like if i'm getting to the point where i'm pausing and going like to the bathroom

and coming back i'm like do i really want to watch this i just i just don't i just turn it off yeah i'm not i'm not like proud in that way you know like i don't feel like i have to watch something or you know like if it's if it's no good yeah just switch it off i just i feel like i feel like sometimes i'm in a movie with someone or someone's inviting me to a movie i'm not really into and they'll be like i need to pee and i'll just leave i'm just gonna go for a pee and then just leave a note in the bathroom i went home this sucks i genuinely like feel like i'm just taking my time yeah um and other times I'll be watching something that I really don't want to miss a frame of and so I'll like I'll like plan my p route I'll be like okay if I I'm gonna ask that I'm gonna say this guy this to this guy I'm gonna

be like excuse me I'm gonna walk down here go this way it's like plan the whole thing out of my head and then I'll execute that and there'll be like one guy who's also doing that he's like rushing for a p and we're like one other guy who's also doing that he's like rushing for a pee and we're like one other guy who's like just a step or two behind me the whole way yeah it's almost like a race as well because he left like just a couple of steps behind me so i need to pee finish up wash my hands just slightly faster than he was because you know i don't want it to be weird like i don't want him to think that i've got something wrong with my bladder i was holding it too long or i'm not washing my hands enough you have to like keep pace um there's all these rules that i have in my brain yeah yeah i was gonna say those are um your your rules you've

got lots of lots of your own rules i feel like everybody else is pretty much you know you've got different computers running different operating systems right and that's all the different people right lewis is like some weird piece of technology that no one knows quite how it works that's lewis to me yeah like windows xp no he's just not compatible with any other devices xp has very specific set of drivers and it's just you know i mean it's a good piece of kit don't get me wrong but oh you don't want to get under the hood that's all i'm saying right temple os have you ever heard of that no you can be that there was this there was this i think it was a mormon guy right who made his own operating system it was just madness i really want to use that it was it was apparently just

completely he was just completely off the radar, wacky guy. And he put this weird sort of stuff in it. And it kind of feels slightly demonic in a sense. Because it has prayer. You can use these programs to pray. And it's got loads of Bible story games. The enter key is just an Amen key. That's all the enter key does.

And every time you press it, it says, ah, yeah, yeah, that would be that would be good. I've played a bit of I played a bit of Doom Eternal this week. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Which I really like. And I really like the just all those demonic symbols on everything. And just kind of how how dark it is and also that that meme with the guy who's been trying to blow away coronavirus has been all over the place again um i saw it like a remix of you know the american mega church priest oh yeah looks like the devil right um incarnate asking god to burn right um in karnat asking god to burn the corona i've been playing a dark game in the most devilish way ever sinister symbols in it this week as well it's called um drug dealer simulator oh shit you have to pick up you have to order drugs from the cartel and pick them up in like these cleverly marked areas like vents and stuff and you have to it's a it's like a it

feels like it's like a gary's mod map you live in a city that's completely enclosed by walls and there's you know police walking around everywhere and stuff but you still have to do your hand to hands you gotta do you gotta you have a laptop where people where people place their drug orders and then you've got to go and deliver the drugs to them. What would be your way to do that? Because I saw one place had it where they would put it in the top of a drain pipe and then it would go down the drain pipe. So they never had to interact with the people. And also, if the police got onto them, they could see them coming

and they could get out of that yeah sometimes like out out a window sometimes like the thing is is you would you you need to do it in a way where like there's there's two things that you need to be careful of you need to be careful that you don't get raided by the cops but uh equally you got to make sure that you don't get robbed like you're you're you're by other drug dealers yeah so like the drain pipe thing i guess might might work for a bit or whatever but people catch on to it very quickly oh you have to be mixing up all the time yeah that's it you got to change it around i think like the i think like that the old tried tested and true is is you you get kids to do the dealing for you uh or at least the delivering for you and no the reason is is because if they get picked up they won't go

they can't go to jail because they're minors right yeah so right you don't lose your man force they just get a slap on the wrist or whatever and they're back on the streets in no time well it wouldn't be a man force and then usually the stash is hidden kind of like far away from where they're dealing so like they have these code signs that they could like relay down an alley and then somebody can run over to where the stash is get the stuff run back and this is just all so that you never get caught with a massive amount of drugs on you sort of i was thinking it would be you would want some kind of uh locker system and you have all these lockers that are coded yeah right and then you give somebody a code you never have to interact you never have to interact with people face to face yeah and you would have some kind of system where they pay you online somehow, dark web,

I don't know, whatever. Once the money's there, you text them a code on a burner phone, and that code unlocks one of the lockers. You just say, lockers so and so, this is the code, your drugs are there. So that there's no zero face to face. And any kind of sense of tracing stuff just goes, just snap the phones at the end of the day, done. Because you want to remove yourself from it as much as possible. Obviously, you'd have to put the drugs in the lockers, and the police could just camp the lockers, but you just use different places, different locations. I think a really popular way of doing it in parts of Italy is that you have like somebody who kind of like takes the order relays it back

to a dude who's like behind a wall like they'll find just like a wall that has naturally a hole in it sort of hole or slit in it they can set up behind the hole uh and then just like pass the drugs like through the hole so it's like a glory hole but for drugs yeah pretty much yeah and it's just another way of making sure that you don't get robbed or caught or whatever it's like apart from it's a very very very thin man came one day yeah mr skinny from the uh mr men universe mr skinny lord found one day that he could fit into the drug hole and he stole all of the drugs naughty mr skinny that was one of the less popular mr ben books yeah i was listening i sips heard just before we started recording the theme tune

from the film midnight run which is a robert de niro and charles groden movie from the 80s and it's on netflix at the moment in the uk if you haven't seen midnight run it's it's and it's on Netflix at the moment in the UK if you haven't seen Midnight Run it's it's a it's a great movie it's uh it's very 80s um but Robert De Niro is genuinely excellent in it um and it's it's funny and it's got goofy action sequences in and it's one of those sort of caper movies um and I I love it it's one of my favorites It's got a really good cast and some good performances. And it's just a classic. It's just a classic movie. And it was weird because I often go into this hole where I look at the filmographies of actors. And I do this on Wikipedia quite often. So when I look at Robert De Niro, the movies he's made, some of them are so legendary that they

almost overshadow a bunch of other films that he's made in a way. So people think of Robert De Niro, they think of Deer Hunter, they think of Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, stuff like that. Casino, Heat, really, really top movies. But then he also made Midnight Run. In between Angel Heart and goodfellas he made midnight run which is this kind of goofy movie that you wouldn't have necessarily associated him with um and then straight after that he went and made like cape fear and stuff like that but it's weird because i look at his career and he veers between doing very deeply serious movies

and then doing kind of he'll do a few goofy funny movies and then he'll go back to deeply serious and i wonder if there's a balancing act going on in someone like Robert De Niro's head, where he's like, I don't want to be known as a comedy guy, because he did like, analyze that, Shark Tale, Meet the Fockers, and then he took a two year break, and then he came back with The Good Shepherd, which is a good movie-ish. But he's a very serious character in that and stuff. And I wonder if that's a factor. And then it got me thinking about Bill Murray's film career, because he started off, obviously, on Saturday Night Live, and he made Meatballs, and he made

some really bad movies. He tried to make a film about Hunter S. Thompson, which was a disaster. Then he made Caddyshack, which was a huge hit. Then they made Stripes, which wasn't such a huge shit, but it did okay. And then he kind of stopped making movies for a while. He was in Tootsie as a bit part actor, and then two years later, Ghostbusters. Biggest movie of the 80s, I think. Yeah. Huge. And then he makes four movies that year. Three of them, I guarantee you've never heard of. Nothing Lasts Forever, you ever heard of that? No.

You wouldn't have because it never got a release. BC Rock, which is a French-Belgian cartoon, and The Razor's Edge, which was a very, very, very serious movie that he made that was a disaster. Then he took two years off, came back, bit parts, bit parts. I hope people are making notes of this. No, it's interesting because it's this man's career and it was completely derailed by him.

I think he wanted to be a serious actor. And it's so weird because he's obviously a comedic actor. You can't look at Bill Murray and not laugh. But in the same way that Robert De Niro veers between doing light-hearted movies and then going back to more classic De Niro serious stuff, all Bill Murray wanted was to be a serious actor and his early choices in film show that he wanted to be serious he wanted to be taken seriously

and then it all went wrong for him and he started making some pretty poor movies and then along comes Groundhog Day everybody loves him again and then he gets the serious roles which I thought was interesting. Apparently he doesn't even have an agent or a manager I can imagine it because some of the choices he's made were really bad.

You have to leave messages on his answer phone or whatever and he randomly picks up. He has a voicemail thing that he checks once in a while. And apparently he just missed out on a ton of great opportunities because he didn't check them. But then equally, the times that he did check, he picked up these things that were just like... Because I think around the time of Ghostbusters, Bill Murray was big time. He was at the height because of Saturday Night Live. He was part of that circle of really popular Saturday Night Live comedians. So I think things were just thrown at him sort of thing.

What was that movie? Do you reckon someone left a message on his answer phone that was like, comedians so i think things were just thrown at him sort of thing that movie but then i can like someone left a message on his answer phone that was like hey bill we got a movie and you get to kiss scarlett johansson in it uh you're an old guy and you meet her at a bar and you do some talking and stuff and it's a bit weird but yeah apparently what do you say what do you say bill he's like you had me at scarlett johansson, he said he had fun doing it, but apparently he didn't get along with... Sofia Coppola? Both of them, apparently.

The director? Anyone. I think, yeah, apparently he's just like... No, he seems like that kind of guy. He's notoriously kind of difficult to work with and stuff like that. He's like one of these people, if he likes you, he likes you.

If he doesn't, he's like impossible sort of thing. But it's interesting. He's in a shootload of movies even now. I like that about Bill Murray, though. Like I feel like Bill Murray can pull it off. You know what I mean? Like Bill Murray can just be himself in this like crazy industry that demands you to not to be anything but yourself most of the time. You know what I mean?

Yeah. He can still weather that sort of thing. you to not to be anything but yourself most of the time you know what i mean but yeah still yeah i mean it's just if you look at his um filmography i would say he's been in some absolute shit like he really has yeah but if you he's been in pretty much every wes anderson movie in fact i think he has been in a he's he was in rushmore raw tenenbaums life aquatic he was the main main character in that yeah it's a bit like fantastic character in that. Yeah, it's a bit like... Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom. Yeah, it's a bit like Samuel L. Jackson with Quentin Tarantino.

Like, I think they just get on really well and they just have this like, sort of like unspoken, like, yeah, you know, like you're going to be good for every part that I make sort of thing. And there's just like up for it sort of thing. Yeah, I think it sort of thing yeah yeah I think it's interesting but yeah sorry I was because I then start looking at nominations for awards

so I love you're going on a weird Bill Murray stalking he didn't get nominated for Oscars this was this was like I start looking at old academy, like 1979 or something like that, and I'll look at what won and what was nominated and what didn't make it. See, this is what I did this week. So this week I had a pub quiz on Zoom with my family. Right. I did that on Sunday with a bunch of my friends. Isn't that funny?

And my uncle and auntie did the questions. And they did 70 questions. Okay, guess what my score was? Okay, guess what my score was? 12. Like 10 or something? I got 8. 8?

Oh, right. The questions were like so hard. All right, give us a couple of questions and we'll see what we come up with. Okay, fine. You might just get all of these. What is the capital of Armenia? Armenia?

Of Armenia. They don't have one. It's Yerevan. Yerevan. Yeah. In which Welsh county is Brecon? I didn't know they had counties in Welsh. You need food.

It's in Powys. Which, for example, in which county would you find Leeds Castle? Oh, now that's actually nowhere near Leeds. It's in... Correct. It's not... It's not Berkshire, is it? Is it Norfolk?

Wapping on Stoke. It's not Borough of Hampshire, is it? Is it Norfolk? Wapping on Stoke. It's Kent. See, these are good questions because you kind of half know them. No, I don't even half know these. Well, I'd heard of Yerevan because it was a city-state in Civ and I probably should have known it from Eurovision and all the other shit. Yerevan calling and all this. You know, I've probably fucking, I've been to've probably i've probably fucking i've been to

the break of beacons i've been to pass it's not just down the road it's not like and i used to fucking live in kent for like three years i mean i should have got all these answers but i didn't get any of them and it wasn't his their fault you know they wrote these questions thinking yeah i know this i i want them to be hard but not that hard and right honestly i got like i was it was kind of like he was doing this quiz because we're all on zoom and he was like oh i see a lot of blank faces and i feel like somebody who like makes a quiz uh like could is missing out on an opportunity to like tell like an interesting story about like, their reading habits or maybe how they're feeling or whatever. Like, it'd be funny if, like, all, like, the questions started off really, like, upbeat and chipper and stuff and then sort of descended into this, like, spiral of madness.

Like, how many times have I cried today? What do you think your mother said to me last night how severely do i strangle myself while i'm masturbating uh just like all these like weird fucking oh shit it's like a cry for help it was like oh this round's a bit hard this quiz master definitely needs some help but no it was it was question it was just like a little bit on the side of too hard. And it was just so funny because I got zero in the first two rounds. And he was like, I wonder if I should start giving out hints. And I'm like, no, I wasn't hating it.

I was enjoying it because it was all those questions. I kind of like was, they were almost on the tip of my tongue or brain. They were right there. I knew I should know them but they were like just out of reach and i feel like also in the internet age like certain questions feel i don't know like like i just i feel like i almost deliberately haven't learned stuff because i knew i could look it up instantly jerry like well we my friend my friend lee did one he did he did it on on sunday night we all tuned in for that. And it was slightly

different because I think it was a really smart idea. It was a series of almost like PowerPoint slides. So it was round one. And all the questions come up at once. And they're like, which Lego figure is this meant to be, for example? So there's no talking over each other. There's no, what can you repeat that that kind of thing all the questions are right there and when everyone's finished he's like everybody done okay and then he just clicks a button and all the answers are revealed underneath and we all mark our own and then give our marks at the end of the round it was really smooth and it was good really cool much better than question 83 and everyone's like hang on hang on i haven't done 82 you know it was just

really nice exactly they should do the um you know the insomnia pub quiz um they should do one of those like online like with a big zoom call so that i really hope they don't spunk out their annual wizzo jokes or whatever like uh they just like fill fill the hole every question they definitely did though how fat is wizzo you have to like like, guess that. It was so bad. How fat is Wizzo's mom? How fucking stupid is Wizzo? And fat and ugly and... Fuck you, Wizzo.

Oh, and don't forget, a handbag! Every five minutes, they would run their, a handbag clip. And the garlic bread one, too. They're always playing that from whatever... Yeah, awful, awful. Awful. Awful. I used to hate it. Garlic bread!

Like all the time. The best pub quiz things I think are ones that people can't Google or look up, you know, because it feels like in the pub quiz people are always, it's always a cheat. And so it's, but it's hard to come up with questions that people can't look up. And so you have to, like we always do, like our family always used to do do a quiz at christmas we used to have like a picture round that my nan would cut pictures out of the radio times and they'd be like who's this you know what's like and it's all it's mostly like oh that's clark gable do you don't even know clark gable is what what's come what's happening these days you know but she wouldn't she wouldn't recognize I don't know Lady Gaga Lady Gaga

is she a baby it was ridiculous yeah so it was it was there were questions like one of the questions was how many

London Underground stations are there oh like five I'm gonna say 28 I'm gonna say 130

and so he so I was like how are we supposed to get this and he was like I'll give you a point if you can get within 10. All right, how many is it? It's 270.

Wow. You live in London. You go on the underground all the time. Yeah, but not on 270 stations, though. We're talking about all the ones that go out way east, way west. Black probably has two or three routes that he does. I was thinking of the middle-y bit, but yeah, you're right. His world is confined, you know? I'm not talking about disused ones or whatever old abandoned ones yeah where all the

teenage mutant ninja turtles live they open those up on the open london days sometimes um yeah there's like 40 disused yeah you drive you'll go past them all the time yeah they still got the front the same front and you'll also go past them all the time. Yeah, they're spooky. They've still got the front, the same front. And you'll also go past them on the train sometimes. You'll go and you'll go past a blank station. They're very eerie for some reason. I think anywhere that was meant to be busy and is not busy is inherently a little spooky. I mean, when I go to a garden shed, you don't expect there to be a bunch of people in there. That would be terrifying.

You expect it to be quiet. But when you go somewhere like a shopping mall, it's deserted. It depends on the time of day, I suppose. Yeah, true. There's this one they use for film shoots as well. It's weird because I watched a couple of things this week, and I think I saw that same... There's this Hollywood slummy ramp that looks like it's in a multi-story car park under a road

or something under a main big freeway and you you'll know what i reckon when you see it but it's like a very steep ramp and it always looks like it's quite dark there's always drug dealers there and they drive a van up sometimes and and i i've seen that location i think it's right twice this week and there's this tube station as well where they they just use it for like they use it for james bond they use it for like just again and again for these these like war films where they're like hiding under in this underground station it's like i think new york has certain spots where like they're they're it's easy to to like sort of get it to for filming and and is therefore used like all the goddamn time sort of thing i mean you're gonna find someone you're not gonna hold up traffic like you'll often i mean

i know when they made um midnight cowboy all the street scenes in that were shot they weren't closed streets uh all the time like they tried to close some streets but there's a very famous scene where a cab almost hits dustin hoffman and he bangs a cab and he's like i'm walking here i'm walking that cab had just gone through the the closed road sign and just fucking caned it straight through the chute and they just carried on they you'll often see shots of actors in new york walking around and there's there's like hundreds and hundreds of people going about their day they're clearly not actors no yeah i mean when when i like that when i was last in new york we were we were walking down a street and there was just this big sign it said um please just like keep walking don't look at anything like you're on like a live set or something like that and so you're just like oh okay you just yeah

yeah you just keep walking because like they're just trying to get shots or they're they're you know they're filming some i didn't see anybody filming or anything but i i'm assuming somewhere somebody was filming and they just needed like the background to look as sort of believable as possible or whatever but i i think that happens all the time and i mean you know 28 days later yeah didn't they just film it at like four in the morning or something they shot it just at dawn yeah like just before, and then they adjusted the light to make it brighter and look like daytime. Yeah.

Because if you think about it, if you want to, if you come up with a script and it's a good script and they're like, yeah, we definitely want to do this. Like, okay, one problem, we kind of need London to be deserted. Okay, so we have to wait for a global pandemic. Yeah, then they had to like helicopter 18 tons of of paper and like because you notice how like like in that that movie there's garbage everywhere and stuff too right right imagine you woke up one morning you're like ready to go for your job i love this city it's so beautiful

what the fuck what's all this fucking paper all over the place oh shit you just you get all angry and then you have to have no planes in shot no helicopters in shot nothing yeah like that it's it's a it must take so long and think of the pressure as an actor they're like all right we got five minutes of quiet this has to work this is the way we're out of money if this shot doesn't work and the actors just like flubs their lines or i wonder if there's people out there right now with like without everything that's going on and like everywhere being very quiet nowadays like with this lockdown everything that are going on and like everywhere being very quiet nowadays like with this lockdown everything that are taking advantage of that like getting shots like yeah

like very easily where it would have been hard to before sort of thing because then nowadays you don't need like 20 people to get a shot you can almost do it right but what you could do now is just go out and film that stuff. If you had a good camera, just take loads of shots of empty streets. Yeah. Like film quality and just have them like a library of, Oh, you need a shot of a time square completely deserted. I've got you. Yeah. Yeah. I've got it right here. I've got it in my library. It's under a time square empty. Yeah. There you go. And just sell it. That would be the play. The guy guy to go to for shots of emphasis. For stock shots, yeah. Got a whole library, yeah. Well, I'm sure that exists. I'm sure. One of the other questions was, what was Buzz Aldrin's mother's maiden name?

Fucking hell. Oh, Buzz, Buzzetta. Saw? But it was quite- Buzina. It's a common, like, it's a question that you wouldn't get in a quiz because if you think about the question, you're like, how would I know anyone's mother's maiden name?

Like, do I need to know their pin code as well? Like, what... But it's because if you think about it, what do you think his mother's maiden name might be? Let me think. It was Aldrin. What did he do? Well, he went on the moon.

Oh, her maiden name was Moon. So was her maiden name Moon? Yes. Mama Moon. Not Apollo. Apollo. No. Her maiden name was Apollo 11. Can you believe Her maiden name was Challenger. Oh God. That's a very American name. Yeah. Holy crap. Debbie Challenger. What other questions? Give us others. I love this. I love it. God, I can't remember anymore. They were all a bit hopeless.

Some of them were like... So he did one, because obviously one of the rounds was he got... There was a link. Okay. So they were like 10 of us at the quiz. Right. And each of the answers was one of our first names. Okay. But we didn't realize this until you know we got like going so the first question was like um who shares the surname baker tweedy and another surname exactly there you go so that was So that was like an obvious one. And then it was like, what was the name of the king in the 1991 movie?

Which one? That one movie that came out. An eponymous movie. Right. About? About a king. Yeah, about a king. 1991.

It was an American comedy starring John Goodman, Peter O'Toole. Is it King Dave? Nope, it's King Ralph. Ralph! Oh, right, of course. And that's my brother's name, you see. But I obviously couldn't... I got Cheryl and I was like, oh, that's Quintus, but then I didn't get any of the others,

so I didn't actually make the connection. Did you have to write down your answers in MS Paint so they could see your handwriting and stuff? No, it wasn't like that. Which singer-songwriter from Scotland shares a surname with the second most recent Doctor Who? Lewis? Oh, no, it's Capaldi, isn't it? Yeah, it's Lewis Capaldi. So that was, I didn't get that.

I wouldn't have got that either. One of them was, what name comes from the old meaning God's greatest gift or something like that? And it was my mother's name. It was Janet. Chris Lovers. How do you get these ones? You know what this strikes me as it's one of those quizzes where every answer is on the tip

of your tongue and it's infuriating yeah because i know this ah but if every question is like that it's just fucking annoying it was tiring yeah it was like i'm terrible at quizzes and stuff because i feel under pressure to answer quickly, but my brain needs some time to do some extra processing. Also, this one is processing. What is the fourth most recent UK Prime Minister? What is it? Let me think.

It's got to be whoever it was. It was Gordon Brown. Is it Gordon Brown? It was Gordon Brown, that's right. be whoever it was it was Gordon Brown it was Gordon Brown that's right and I forgot about David Cameron he was Prime Minister for 7 years I was like

it's Blair right you missed a big one how long was Gordon Brown Prime Minister for not very long a year or so anyway there were lots of questions like that and i didn't hate it but and i will do it again but i think i think i i might have to do the questions next time um so i don't know what i'm gonna do i like those ones where it's like

like like the pub quiz format where you have like uh 10 questions in a row where it's like guess this music and it's like video game music or some shit like that you know and like and you have to and you have to write them all down yeah like i like i like themed questions in like chunks you know what i mean not just like so but my friends my friends quiz had a round that was all name the cops like the names in these buddy buddy cop action movies right and the problem was for a lot of these movies i know the movie i know the actors but i'll be damned if i know the names of the characters well like everybody knows riggs and myrtle from riggs and myrtle yeah what were the

names of the cops in um what's that one with jackie chan and uh chris rush hour yeah rush hour what are the names of the characters in that oh Oh, God, who knows? Good Lord, I have no idea. Right. No. It's tough, because you know everything about it, but you don't know their names, because they're not memorable names. A lot of the time, I'm actually watching a TV show or a movie,

and I don't know the name of the character. And I feel like I don't care, either. I'm like, who's Jill? Oh, the main character. Okay, cool. But it's not really necessary a lot of time although i will say uh i recently watched dark on netflix which has been out for like years um but it's like this german um time travel-y sort of show it's not really a spoiler to say that um oh great now

i can't watch it but the problem is it's because But the problem is because it's got a huge cast of people, and it's also got the younger versions of them, if you like, because it's time travel based, in the show. And part of it is revealing who's who. It's like, oh, that guy's actually that guy. And that's obviously helped out by the fact that their young selves look nothing like their old selves, apart from maybe one of them's got a gigantic mole on the face.

Do you know what I mean? But it's like so infuriating because I had to keep like pausing and being like, okay, so who the fuck is... So this guy's... I mean, time travel on its own is a nightmare to like try and, you know, go through in your brain. Watching these time travel movies, you're like, sometimes you'll just, you'll through in your brain yeah watching these time travel movies you're like sometimes you're just you'll feel like your brain just like explodes i mean i had that problem with game of thrones where i didn't know i recognized the actor and the character and i was like oh it's that guy from that other thing but i didn't know his name like i read the i i was

i game of thrones wasn't too bad because I'd read the books so it's I knew everybody from the from reading the books but yeah but yeah it would have been the same if I had not read the books I would have just been like

oh yeah fucking that guy or this like I'm terrible with names by the way if you get bored there are a ton of videos of people just slagging off

the last couple of series of Game of Thrones and going into detail some of them are very funny pointing out stuff at the time I mean I don't want to get into a big game of thrones chat but there's no denying the last last couple of series went no and sometimes i wake up and i'm like sweating he's like in a cold sweat hyperventilating oh the final season of game of thrones could have been so much better they just fucked up so much stuff and it

was honestly embarrassing and i know that they were like yeah we just want to move on to other things i'm like you can't like that's hugely that's hugely insulting to the audience i mean it was a phenomenal show it was a phenomenon everybody watched game of thrones i know people have no interest in fantasy i want to say i called it though i want to say as soon as they ran out of source material yeah that went into the fucking toilet like that's it when you look at things that have a beginning, a middle and an end

like a finished and written story you know I think what they should have done was they should have got an agreement with George R. R. Martin which said we're going to get someone to help you finish these books do you know what I mean we're going to get a professional you finish these books i mean we're gonna get a professional author some professional authors in like brandon sanderson and people who love i think they should

have gotten me in to do the theme music acapella for the last um episode as well i could have done i would have been it would have been great just, just to change it up just a little bit, you know? I mean, but my issue is, there are lots of talented writers out there. It's not that difficult to take what you've already been given and find a nice resolution for it that is coherent. Like they do this with shows all the time, where they're like, these are the characters. We want you to write an episode for us

or write a few episodes and just, you know, stick with the general theme of it. And we want it be consistent like gotcha because they're writers that's what they do they could they were like this character wouldn't really do this i don't think judging by i've watched all the shows and i know what's what but instead they just seem to just sort of fucking i don't know just go what if so and so like yeah cool it doesn't make sense who i feel the worst for it's all those people who went to pubs to watch it in public people and they had to because they were in this environment with other people they weren't sure whether it was just terrible or whether they were supposed to be like wow

with all this dumb shit was such a massive viewership though that you have to assume that about like 80 to 85 percent of the people watching it were okay with the way that it was you know is it the same hype to shit the same thing of the people coming out of those cinemas uh when they watched episode one in 2000 and were interviewed and they were like this is the greatest star wars movie i've ever seen yeah i liked it when george r biggs uh wiggled his arms and screamed he was so funny again though like you know i think the stuff that we read is is not not necessarily like the like the the the the overwhelming popular opinion you know what i mean like like i think like occasionally you'll get a

reviewer that says and this this could have been better or whatever but like i'm i'm sure my parents watched it and I think they liked the whole thing. I don't think they paid attention enough to it. I think a lot of the time I do that. I watch a thing. To know either way. I quite enjoy it.

Because they just wanted to be able to go to fucking the Tupperware Club and say that they'd seen the latest episode of this big hit TV show that everybody else is watching. It was like the water cooler at the office talk of the day and everything, right? So I don't think most people viewed it in a bad way. I think it was the sort of like original core fan base of the books that wasn't like the the the massive um you know popular extension of the what became the fan base through like the tv show that were that were probably a bit vexed

about it because yeah sure it wasn't like as satisfying as it could be and it felt a bit rushed and stuff like that but again like i always think think when anything like this happens, I always think of like my parents who I view as just very run of the mill average North Americans who are probably like the first time they saw Jar Jar Binks, they probably laughed and stuff. You know what I mean? Right, right. Because, you know, there are a lot of people out there who are like that, you know, like whether you want to believe it or not. It's, you know what i mean that's just there's i just think there's a lot more people in the world than the 10 people who complain about stuff on reddit true but i also think that they just they're not really watching like most people don't really sit and watch tv they're just kind of it's on and

it was okay i like that yeah and they look up occasion they see something cool stuff and they're like yeah that's fine the context for a lot of this stuff is like, I really like this. I know all the characters and stuff. So I expect everybody else to feel the same way, which is impossible. I'm sure that my mom watched all of Game of Thrones and I bet you she knew the name

of like maybe three characters. You know what I mean? Like it's just the way that it is. And it's like that with everything. It's not... Anything that becomes, like, popular, right? Like, I was watching... I watched this documentary on, like, the grunge explosion,

the Seattle scene. We watched such different TV. In the 90s. But interestingly, it was filmed at the time. So, like, it's not like a retrospective. It. It was like people who were involved in the scene at the time who knew like all the bands and everything. And again, it's just really interesting that like something that was very sort of close knit, like a scene for that city and just like the way that the bands interacted with each other, like in that city and and just like the the way that the bands uh interacted with each other like in that city and everything just a lot of them just got crowbarred out of there and made into these massive massive popular bands that sort of you know defined a generation or spoke for a generation or whatever but none of them had set out to even do that like they were just quite happy playing these crappy little bars and and venues and and seeing each other occasionally and

competing against each other and stuff and it's you know it's everybody else just went crazy you know like they there was like grunge fashion that you could buy at jc penny you know you could buy like those old fucking plaid shirts and and stuff and it was for the people in the scene that they went to they went to second-hand stores and they bought that stuff because that's all that was available like they lived in logging towns and stuff you know what i mean but for the for like the for the general population this was like the the uniform you had to wear if you wanted everybody to know that you loved grunge and stuff and it's just interesting how people consume things you know yeah totally i think um so i mean i love

those of this of the age documentaries where you get to see you know 90s people talking about 90s things is there is something sort of slightly authentic about it i don't know yeah it's weird yeah it's like i don't know like it it is funny it's funny watching like old old footage in it when you watch it you think like it doesn't seem like that was that long ago but then you know it was it was a long time ago yeah a lot of people that you would tell about to now especially like given what we do we end up we end up like you know somehow trying to like, explain this stuff to people who weren't even born then, you know, like that. This is what you

this is, these are the things that you were into when you were a teenager sort of thing. It's just kind of funny. I worry that when I talk to younger people about stuff that I did growing up, that they're bored to fucking tears. But I was always really interested when people would tell me what life was like back then and how things have changed. Because I've always found that interesting. The idea that when I'm 70 or 80, assuming I get that far, that I'll be able to talk about how much things have changed. Because that's the only real record you've got is personal experience. That's the only... I mean, you can read about these things, but you can't really ask questions of data. But if someone is sitting there and you can say,

what was it like before this or that? I think that's really interesting. So I know I probably come across as boring when I talk about the past, and maybe we all do, but I personally find it fascinating. I hope- Well, yeah, it's a mixture of nostalgia and like you just so you sometimes you you look at where you are now and then you think back to where you were and it and it's just it's it's interesting to you in most cases i think sometimes it comes across as you don't know how good you've got it these days it's gonna be really funny one day to if you know when when when our kids go on to probably have kids i'm i'm guessing and and your grandkids growing up and one day they'll be like well what did you used to do grandpa what was your job like well um pretty much what we're doing

right now so my uncle was very kind to think about what we all are fans of and include questions for those people. Oh, nice. So he would include, so he knows that my brother loves cars. So he did a question about cars. I can't remember. How many wheels on a car? He knows, for He knows that I love greased up oily cocks. I think about them all the time. Well, no, he asked me. I had a Minecraft question.

Oh, nice. Jesus. So it was like, what was the original title given to Minecraft? was it uh order of the stone was it cave game or was it um something i'm gonna go with cave game it was called cave game that's right apparently so i didn't because it's obviously not something else i didn't yeah but i i didn't he gave it some other he called it some other things did you know no i didn't. He gave it some other, he called it some other thing. Did you know? No, I didn't even realise it was called cave game. I've never even heard that question before. Well, then again, I probably have, but I've forgotten it because I'm old and useless.

And then he gave my mum a question about, for some reason, disease. He was like, what is the scientific term for an agent that can cause disease? A germ? A creepy crawly? It's actually a pathogen. Oh, yeah, a pathogen. Oh, yes. Ah, yes.

Of course. Which obviously none of us got. That feels like a very targeted insult. Yeah, was that kind of like when the questions were like relating back to something you were interested in was that kind of like a um like uh like a mercy round like it was just like a guaranteed you're gonna at least get one point because i made like one question really easy for you and maybe not anyone else do you think that was part of it did you say your uncle Set these questions Yeah If everybody else gets a special interest question

And one question from one person is like What do you call A backstabbing bitch who I fucking despise You'd be like Wow this guy's real specific Imagine the question specific to you From your uncle was like Where is my favorite place to hide in your house naked?

Oh, God. All right, we have to stop. All right. Lulu's busy, so we're going to have to cut it short. Thank you very much, everyone. Hope you guys are all doing all right indoors for another week. Yeah, we'll be back. We'll be back.
