Starting point is 00:00:33 Please play responsibly. Hello and welcome back to a Breathless Triforce podcast. P-Flax has just climbed up the stairs. Yeah. I've got hay fever and Sips is... He's overweight and out of shape. Holding his breath for this third child that is inevitable. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:01:02 It feels like you're carrying the weight of eight months of pregnancy as well. Oh my god, yeah. Every time I look over at my wife who's caught up to me in terms of gut size over the past couple of months. She's always exasperated and stuff. I feel like, you know
Starting point is 00:01:19 what, now you know how it feels to be me all the time. Now you know. Finally parity has been me all the time. Now you know. Finally, parity has been achieved. So yeah. Welcome. Welcome back, everyone. I went on a holiday this week.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I went out into the countryside. Wow. And I spent two nights in a shed in a field. Right. So it's like a... Like a yurt. This is what happens now. Was it a yurt? You know how it used to be? Glamping. He's not going to tell you if it's a y this is what happens now was it a yurt you know that used to be glamping he's not gonna tell you if it's a year apparently he's not yet he's really
Starting point is 00:01:49 not interested in i'd like i'd like to have gone into yeah but i think i'd even be more even more allergic because bloody cloth things you'd be allergic and allergic it was i went to like a it's like a it looks like an old railway or like an old trailer for like um a horse trailer okay but on like railway wheels it looks i don't know it just looks like an ancient old thing like one of those forgotten places that's just all overgrown you know like forgotten america like there's i'm pretty sure there's a subreddit about it they got like those towns that have been abandoned yeah just all like they look a little a little bit like uh like uh priyat i guess like they're just you know all overgrown and people just left them as they were and nobody's been back since they were mainly i think it was things like
Starting point is 00:02:34 mining towns where the stuff that they were mining ran out or they were digging and they unleashed some uh some hideous force of nature yes some well there's always the yeah you when you uh when you uncover an ancient evil that's normally enough for everybody at the mining uh town to uh to move on move on i mean a lot of the movies will have you believe that the town banded together to fight dracula they didn't they just moved on they very wisely moved it's like having a rat infestation you know you're just like i can either deal with this or i could just go pitch up in a new town and start afresh and most people just want to start start fresh you know i'm glad i've run away from my problem and you tend to look
Starting point is 00:03:14 at the town they're leaving behind and you think i'm amazed they lasted this long like that it took a demon to dislodge them is is admirable and most of the time the town is a total shithole that's not even worth defending anyway right that's the town i'd love that if that was the movie yeah if there was like you know pitched as like a horror townspeople band together to combat an ancient evil and they just yeah the ancient evil reveals itself kills steve the baker they have they have a big council meeting about it and everyone unanimously decides it's not worth it what's the plan i vote we leave yep everyone is carried let's go they just leave What's the plan? I vote we leave. Yep, everyone unanimously carried. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Let me just leave everything there and get on a bus. And they're out of there. End of movie. All those who say nay, there's no nays. We're out of here. Let's go. Nay, you should definitely stay. Demons are not allowed to vote.
Starting point is 00:03:59 We do not recognize the chair does not recognize the demon. I move for an amendment to consume you all. No, no, we will not table that amendment. Strike it from the minutes. Sorry, not today, Mr. Demon. We're just not interested. We've decided to just ignore you and move on. No.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Do you wonder if hell is very bureaucratic? Because everybody hates bureaucracy. If hell was kind of a free-for-all, everybody kind of did what they want, I think that might be kind of liberating for some people. Hell has to be a terrible bureaucracy where everything has to be filled out and they come to you and say,
Starting point is 00:04:34 oh, it says here on the work order, I'm meant to disembowel you repeatedly for all eternity, but he hasn't given me the carbon copy that's meant to come with this. I'm going to stamp that and give that to my supervisor. Wait here. And you just have to wait for thousands of years while he goes off to some castle to get it signed. Then he comes back.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Wouldn't you know it? I've been transferred. I'm sorry. Someone will be with you soon. When they get here, give them this form and these two. You'll need to fill this out. And they hand you like a huge booklet you're just filling out forms to have your guts ripped out and and displayed on a big a big metal frame i think um that character is too likable i think in in hell and the bureaucracy everybody you deal with
Starting point is 00:05:17 is just michael gove so like there's a million michael goes down there doing the bureaucracy and telling you to wait for the next one and stuff and your whole, the rest of your eternity is just so infuriating because you have to constantly deal with Michael Gove about everything. Oh my god. Oh my god. Or your like annoying busybody neighbour. Yeah, yeah. I got shouted at this week for like
Starting point is 00:05:38 leaving a bin bag outside my door for like 10 minutes. Wow. I couldn't believe it. Wait, do you mean actually shouting yeah like a livid red-faced fucking jobsworth guy like someone that lived at your building yeah well i was cleaning the flat i put the bin out i was doing all the hoovering and stuff and i was like i'll take the bin down when i'm done i honestly like it had been there less than quarter of an hour right and he was like just you can't leave this here.
Starting point is 00:06:05 What are you doing? I'm reporting you to the housing association. I was just staring at him like, has somebody been here for like 10 minutes? I'm about to take it down. You know what I wish in situations like that? You could just go like Omar on them from the wire and just act like you're about to lift your shirt to grab a gun
Starting point is 00:06:25 and then just like scare them away like and it would work every time i would love that when he get when lewis comes home everyone in the apartment building lewis is coming lewis on the block lewis is coming everybody's scattering he's putting his his garbage outside oh man and wouldn't that be great though like every time that somebody you know like it's it's kind of like uh you're like cracking a nut with the sledgehammer or whatever but i feel like it would just be so effective and yeah and then it would just be like a nice reminder never fuck with me bitch like don't don't come at me with your stupid uh rules and bureaucracies i don't give a fuck that's why i left the bin outside in the
Starting point is 00:07:05 first place i don't give a shit you're you're you're barking up the wrong tree here there was a guy who was driving in bristol um during the protests and he was directed by the police into a bus lane right and along with a lot of other people i'm sure that bus lane obviously has got a camera in it that takes pictures of people who are not supposed to be driving in the bus lane. So he got sent a 60 quid fine and rang him up and said, you know, I was directed into the bus lane by the police. You know, they were like, oh, yeah, well, yeah. Well, in order to file that, to file the dispute, what you have to do is you have to wait till the complaint is elevated to an unpaid complaint. By which point they will have doubled the fine.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Yeah. But you'll, don't worry. But it's like, what is this? So, sorry, I have to wait. I have to deliberately not pay the fine to get it doubled to then have to make a claim, which then might not be. It's ridiculous. Like, give me a break.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Like, that's hell. I had to pay a parking fine last week. Did you? Yeah, I forgot to pay a parking fine last week um did you yeah i forgot to pay for parking i went to town and uh i i use like an app to pay because we have like this old ass system of like scratch cards but i i hate using them so there's an app now that i can use ringo it's not called ringo no uh it's called something else it's definitely definitely not Ringo, though. But anyway, I must have forgotten to pay. And you've forgotten the name.
Starting point is 00:08:27 This is happening. So I forgot to pay. But if you use the app, they don't send you anything. They don't put a ticket on your car or anything like that. So I was completely unaware. And then the first letter they sent me didn't arrive. I never got it. And so they sent me the second like threatening letter saying well you could have paid less but now that you decided not to pay it you have to pay more and i was like
Starting point is 00:08:49 what and like this is the first i've heard of it yeah but in in the end you just have to pay it because it's just like fuck me it's not even worth calling them up and trying to trying to get out of it or whatever it's just it's it's not even worth the time so i just oh my god so i just paid it yeah but i also sealed uh one of my uh logs of shit in the envelope when I sent it back to them. So who gets the last laugh, you know? Who indeed? Yeah. So basically, weirdly, this happened in the week that I also watched Clarkson's Farm on
Starting point is 00:09:19 Hours and Priors. Why did you watch that? You'll never get that time back. Like, it's gone. I thought. I kept getting adverts for it and I don't hate Jeremy Clarkson
Starting point is 00:09:29 Top Gear was some very good TV and I hope he's stuck in it when it's happening as well and so I checked it out I was playing some World of Warcraft, I was playing some other things and I was watching TV in the background and I just thought fuck it I'll i watched castle see what's the several castle
Starting point is 00:09:48 castle dump is that what you called it clarkson's farm it sounded like you said castle dump castle dump with jeremy clarkson some people call this our jump, but it's clearly not because this farm is owned by me. Music, whatever. It has got a little bit of that. Willfully ignorant is how I'd describe him. It's not a car. He's like, I don't know what that is. Oh, what's this?
Starting point is 00:10:19 Farming? Load of rubbish. Because I don't know what it is. I'm going to be rude about it. Jeremy Cunson, fuck off. about it yes no my sentiments exactly uh well he's uh he is uh he is a grade a asshole he's about as big as they come just a gigantic massive gaping asshole watch that right so i mean that's been part of his allure right like that that's why people like it what do they like he is he's literally introduced me to one person who likes them and i will never speak to that person again that's how much strongly i feel about it you've ever looked like people
Starting point is 00:10:54 often post comments on the daily mail website as like uh like there'll be an image of you know there'll be the news story and then these are the comments on the daily mail website he is the personification of that this doesn't affect me i. I don't care about it. Therefore, it's bad and I want it to stop. That's him in a nutshell. I hate everything that isn't something I'm specifically interested in. This is garbage. I love cars and that's it. If it's not a car and I don't know what it is, I'm going to mock it. It's just stupid. It's just awful. And he's hateful. He's a racist fucking fuck off clarkson he's not funny not funny wait so so is it is i'm actually agreeing with all of this he's still doing the car show or is the is that now done like uh because like top gear is still going yeah i think
Starting point is 00:11:35 it's him and his fucking henchmen still roll around occasionally being so i mean look that's whatever you say about him and the guys, they are good TV. And the originals of Top Gear, they're big adventures to places. We're very... Yeah, Lewis, almost everything we've done live in the Oggs cast is inspired directly from Top Gear. Lewis loves it. Oh, for sure. He constantly references it as well. Every time we're doing a live thing, he's like, can we be more like Top Gear?
Starting point is 00:12:05 I love Top Gear. Can you be more like James May? Yes. That's what I say to you. Yeah. And then I do it and you're like, can you also dress like him? And can you speak gently, directly into my ear and blow in my ear a little bit while you're dressed as James May
Starting point is 00:12:21 and pretending to be James May? It's a bit weird, but I go along with it. It's a fetish thing. So they've had, like, the Grand Tour had a bit of a shaky start on Netflix. On Amazon Prime. Because it felt like it was a bit too heavily scripted, right? Originally, Top Gear, it was obviously the scrapes and bumps that they ran into were scripted. But it did still feel authentic.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And I think that the Grand Tour had a bit of a shaky start but apparently is is is good now but the other vehicles that they've had so obviously each of them has tried to make their own show james may's done a cooking thing and he's gone to japan and he's done a lot of different things and richard hammond did a really awful kind of island survival thing he's untalented what tell me what you like about Richard the hamster Hammond what do you like about
Starting point is 00:13:09 no he's like he's no he would be no he would be a bad TV presenter no I agree like I don't like him look Lewis is taking the brunt of our
Starting point is 00:13:20 hatred of these three people and their shitty show like he has to defend them yeah he'd be a mediocre blue peter at best richard hammond he's not he's not the best um he did that total wipeout he hosted total wipeout remember that show like i i tell you i don't i don't i i prefer i prefer him to verdant k or that that um that northern guy who presents stuff or or Adam Deck, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:45 I mean, compared to like most daytime or evening or weekend TV hosts, I think that there's a lot more punchable faces out there than poor old Richard Hammond. Anyway, Clarkson's Farm, it's honestly, like, I didn't think I'd like it, but I really did. It's great TV.
Starting point is 00:14:03 It's not all about Clarkson. He's got this host of different people who basically just do the whole farm for him. And they're very self-aware. You can tell some of them are not fans of Clarkson. It's good to see him get electrocuted and stuff. That actually does sound good. It's actually very funny.
Starting point is 00:14:20 He's sat there having to do this stuff in misery. You're actually selling this. If he's having a shit time and he's unhappy and he's getting electrocuted and stuff, count me in. I'm only happy when he's not on TV and ideally just never gets work on TV again. I don't even want to see him miserable. I just don't want to see him or hear about him. There's this wonderful guy called Caleb who works on the farm.
Starting point is 00:14:49 He's a tractor driver and he's he's like 21 and you know some of the some of his his lines are are brilliant like some of the things he's he's obviously a natural a genuine person you know who's never left this local area of three villages in that he grew up in you know he grew up in the world of farming and a lot of people are really sort of you know when they when they grow up in this this thing they're kind of not not trapped necessarily but they they're happy there um i noticed this when i worked on some farms in the summer one time it felt like it was almost like a different community of people living in in the in the countryside what do you mean um lewis spent a couple of days with the riffraff in the summer one time it's weird though i told i've told this before but it just felt like i'd step through a portal into another world you know i didn't believe that these people still existed because
Starting point is 00:15:36 he has lots of these nicely smoking smoking nicely nicely spoken people that he's obviously found on the internet you know it's like the head of the farmer's union comes down to teach him how to, like, fucking do some horrible thing to a sheep or whatever. And some other woman comes in with a sheepdog and does that. Anyway, it's good. It's genuinely good.
Starting point is 00:15:56 But this guy, Caleb, man, he doesn't take any shit from Clarkson. And it's just, he just, he has some great, great lines. And, oh, man, I really enjoyed it. So I don't know. It's a weird recommendation. But Oh, man, I really enjoyed it. So I don't know. It's a weird recommendation. But then obviously I went to this farm. And I guess farming is this thing now where...
Starting point is 00:16:10 You went to the Clarkson farm. I went to a different farm, which felt similar. Yeah, he was invited, VIP guest. It felt similar because they kind of obviously have everything. They have a bunch of fields where they rotate the sheep between them. You've got to rotate your sheep. To eat the grass. Yeah, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And then they've... Rotate it. And then they've... Spinning sheep. So the government will pay you to sort of keep these grass, you know, keep fields just with grass in. So you use the sheep to cut the grass.
Starting point is 00:16:37 There's a whole thing. Then they had chickens there and they had loads of different crops there. Anyway, one of the fields that they'd obviously... I think the guy who owned the farm, who didn't meet but i met his wife has like this old classic car collection right of morrises right so he had like a barn and it was open you know just um well not even a barn like it looked like i don't know like an animal feed one of those open animal feed feeding buildings you know what i mean right but he'd converted it to have like 20 old morrises
Starting point is 00:17:05 there in various stages of disrepair if you it's like this classic old looking car anyway he obviously collected these i guess that i guess they're like horse trailers or whatever and he'd converted them into basically little sheds where you can visitors can stay it's on airbnb and there's lots of these things actually around the country. It's just a little money spinner for them, right? They just put it on Airbnb, and then people come, and they have to change their towels every time that people change or whatever. It's not very difficult. It's got a little outside loo and shower area for you to-
Starting point is 00:17:39 Like an outhouse. Yeah, for you to wash up and stuff. They use shit in a hall. But man, as soon as I got there, there i was just like the hay fever hit me and i was just like i was just like i guess i've been in the city for the last year and a half so my i'm completely not um resistant to any allergens at all man you know what i've never had hay fever but this year whenever i've gone outside i've had a couple of sneezes a couple of big old sneezes which isn't unusual because there's a fucking pollen everywhere yeah but i can't imagine like i've never had hay fever is it just literally you you eyes are just like swelling up and just everything's
Starting point is 00:18:15 i mean there's like there's various symptoms of it but um i think we've all had it as well and i normally don't get it either i I think it's just been, I think because May was such a write-off, it was cold and nothing was happening. Like there wasn't very much like pollination happening and stuff. And now that the weather is nicer in June. Yeah. Everything has just gone nuts at once because I've never noticed this before.
Starting point is 00:18:43 But this year, man, like we have some, we have some lavender out front of my house like in a little planter and every day i'm not even kidding there's like 50 bees just swarming oh yeah all the time it's fucking insane but we've never i've never noticed it before like uh like to that extent so i think i think they're just like concentrating all on like in this now that it's gotten nicer sort of thing. It feels like everything is just going nuts all of a sudden. There's no there hasn't been like a gradual lead up to it.
Starting point is 00:19:10 So maybe that's partly to do with it. I don't know. I mean, I don't actually know how Hayfever works or I'm not not not even really nature minded. I'm just making all this up is what I'm saying. That's fine. Yeah, I think it's I mean, it's goes well with the podcast really. Yeah. I had a nice time.
Starting point is 00:19:28 It did do a thing. There's not much to do. Good. Good. Glad to hear it. You know, there's not much to do. We walked around into the local village. Of course, like the farm's out in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So as a result, none of the roads to get into the village are big enough for more than one car and certainly don't have a pavement. So there's two of you walking down this fucking road. Suddenly a truck comes down. You're like, fuck me. So they go to the stinging nettles or get like... So you weren't... There was no choice.
Starting point is 00:20:01 You just have to climb into the stinging nettles. You weren't alone on this trip. No, I wasn't. I thought you'd gone off by yourself into the countryside. It was me, my partner, and another couple. Right. Their shed was near ours. They were a little bit more reckless in their nightly activities,
Starting point is 00:20:22 shall we say. It was squeaking. Oh, my goodness. Well, they couldn't really tell. They didn't know when they were in there that it was rocking. Well, you can hear squeaking. When the house is rocking, don't come a-knocking.
Starting point is 00:20:34 That's what they tend to say. When the farmhouse is squeaking, don't go a-peaking. Well, so this other couple, obviously, don't live together. So for lockdown, they've had a fair few moments together and so this was like the first time they've kind of been able to to stay somewhere together like a love hotel yeah a squeaky love carriage right right kind of like i guess it was
Starting point is 00:21:00 like um titanic you know in the back of that car. What happened in Titanic in the back of a car? That's where they made love, old Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Do you remember? Why are they fucking a car when they're on a boat? That's a bit much. It's like two vehicles. Just pick a vehicle. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah, there was a car on the boat. And then that's where they decided to do their hanky-panky. Was the car also on a truck? Was this some kind of challenge? How many vehicles can you fucking sight of at once? Oh, my my god it's like a turducken that's what it's like man oh man well it sounds like a fun trip um and and especially now that a little bit of sexy time was uh mentioned as well even better you know what i mean yeah it was it was an interesting it was a fun trip yeah i'm coming to do another trip as well yeah got on know what i mean yeah it was it was an interesting it was a fun
Starting point is 00:21:45 trip yeah i'm coming to do another trip as well yeah got on the cards yeah that's right to jersey tomorrow yeah that's right wow my uh my my heavily pregnant wife has not been vaccinated and uh lewis is um coming over here to um probably infect her so that's oh well done that's nice yes that'll be fine and so it'll be fine that'll be fine let's move on i've i've received an email from your son yes oh yeah this uh this was this was something else man i i came in after a long day of uh working playing video games all day and um there he was on an ipad and he was like dad dad i'm sending emails. And I was like, good for you, son. And it turns out he was emailing Lewis to say, how are you doing? So, yeah, he sent me an email.
Starting point is 00:22:29 It says, can't wait to see you on Friday. I have planned loads of fun things to do while you are here. Right. So make sure you save up all your energy and don't do anything else until then. Yeah. Love, love. So I replied and said, I'll make sure i don't do any moving around or anything until i'm over there and i'll also eat lots of beans so i'm full of beans yeah
Starting point is 00:22:53 i think that's how it works well it's been a while since you've seen the kids right because of lockdown and everything so you'll notice that uh a they're bigger and b um they like to talk about video games a lot more than they used to. So get ready, because if you don't understand the mechanics of Plants vs. Zombies, Garden Warfare, or whatever other game he's playing, you're going to know all about him in great detail. I'm excited. Yeah, because if he's not playing them, he's talking about them. Yeah, well, he's thinking about them. That's what I'm doing as well.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I'm thinking about games right now. Yeah, me too. I'm playing one right now, actually. I often do when we have this podcast podcast what are you playing right now you you can't you give us like five minutes of your precious no i was saying this yesterday i was talking to some people on discord and um some people were saying like oh you know if i'm on discord and it's just me and one other person i i don't feel like super comfortable like talking to them i'd rather talk to a group of people. And I said, I'm not like that.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Like, I don't mind if it's just one person or 20 people, whatever. Like, I'll talk to whoever's around sort of thing. Like, you know, it's a close-knit discord. So it's not like there's no people that you don't really know or anything like that. Right. So it's fine. But it made me realize that uh throughout all this mostly like throughout the pandemic and stuff a lot of the a lot of the conversations i've been having with
Starting point is 00:24:10 people has has been on the computer like you know over discord or whatever and even before the pandemic it was like that too and um i find that i'm always doing something while i'm talking like i'm always playing a game or i'm watching something or reading something or whatever. I do it so much more so now that if I go out and I have to speak to somebody face to face, I find it boring because I want something to do. You can't do it without playing a game at the same time. Yeah, I know. I need something to do while I'm talking to somebody, you know? Even in my house, we all talk to each other whilst we're doing other things, right? Because, you know, like you got two kids, you're always doing something right you're you're you're cooking something or cleaning something or
Starting point is 00:24:48 whatever and you're just having a conversation at the same time and that's fine but like if you go meet somebody for like a coffee or something you're just sitting there all you have is that person and a coffee right it's not like you can you just bust out like uh you know peggle or whatever it's not playing like so playing so it's kind of weird that's your go to thing I could imagine I played a lot
Starting point is 00:25:10 you sitting there having a chat with me in a coffee shop and just instantly busting out Peggle and now I know that that's actually now you've explained it
Starting point is 00:25:18 I wouldn't be offended but I think if you if you hadn't told me I would have been offended by that you know it's good to it's good to understand each other and take these things into consideration. I guess it does depend on the complexity level of the game.
Starting point is 00:25:34 That's important. It does. But having said that, I'm playing Oxygen Not Included, which is kind of a complicated game. But you've also played that for hundreds of hours, so you're so familiar with it. It's probably complicated anymore it's not well i mean it's there's new stuff in it it's a great game by the way it's really fun it is a top game uh pflex has been this whole time probably watching the football no no that's it too that's it too yeah your twitter
Starting point is 00:26:03 is just a non-stop flow who's playing who's even playing. That's at 2. Yeah. Your Twitter is just a nonstop flow. That's literally... Who's even playing tonight? Who's playing today and tonight? Hold on, let me have a look. Are you enjoying the Euro tournament? Very much. I love it.
Starting point is 00:26:13 I haven't gotten to watch it much. Okay. I've watched every game. Oh, nice. I know you have. I know. It just shows how much fucking free time you have. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:23 That is part of it, for sure. You're welcome. There is Ukraine versus North Macedonia at two. Ukraine versus, sorry, North Macedonia. I didn't know that was country. That's at two. Denmark versus Belgium at five. Netherlands, Austria at eight.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I don't think there are going to be any great games here. I'll be honest with you. I mean, Ukraine are a beast to watch, and they should beat North Macedonia. There should be some goals there. Denmark, Belgium this is denmark coming off the back of what happened to christian erickson i don't know if you guys yeah yeah i heard a cardiac arrest it was terrible so i was i was watching that with my youngest and we were watching the game i was like you're gonna watch some football with me why did i make her watch that game of all the games because it
Starting point is 00:27:02 was genuinely deeply distressing and upsetting i mean we were both crying because it was so shocking i was worried about her and we're watching this guy being given cpr live on television it was horrible at the same time i couldn't take my eyes away because i thought please let him be all right like it was so horrible to see uh so anyway they're playing at five and they've got to somehow come back from that. I mean, honestly, who cares? No one's going to care about how Denmark do at this tournament because as long as Christian Eriksen's all right. But it was dreadful.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It was absolutely dreadful. And it's been a weird tournament other than that. Last night, for the Wales game, the footage was all over the place because it was in Baku, and they had all kinds of problems with the broadcast equipment and the sound. Kip Kutney was terrible. Wales won though, right? Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 00:27:47 And Italy won last night too? Italy won, yeah. So Wales won and they played really, really well. I really want the home nations to do well. And I was really happy to see Wales do well. They were great. Aaron Ramsey was great. They could have scored a legit.
Starting point is 00:28:00 They could have won 4-0 or 5-0 if they had a little bit more composure. But it was such a good game. Italy absolutely trounced Switzerland. And Russia-Finland game was fucking awful. Good God. It's one of those games you just want it to be over, but you're stuck watching. You're watching it.
Starting point is 00:28:14 You're going to see who wins. Oh my God, it was dull. Two really pedestrian, boring teams. Switzerland were awful. Turkey looked awful. So this year for the competition, they've expanded it. So there's more teams expanded it so there's more teams in it than there would normally be so some of these teams wouldn't normally have
Starting point is 00:28:29 qualified they just expanded it yeah i know switzerland don't need to be there no friend switzerland you guys suck like you are boring and shit to watch finland are boring and shit to watch get those teams out we don't need them it's not a celebration if half the games are my kids got the panini sticker books and i noticed that the sticker book is huge. Like, there's a lot of extra pages, yeah. There's a lot of extra teams. Where is it happening? All over Europe.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So the matches are all, rather than just have them in one place, so everybody congregates there, you've got games in, like, Baku, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, London, Rome, like, all over the place. Really? Yeah, so, you know, some teams, yourest, Copenhagen, London, Rome, like all over the place. Really? Yeah. So, you know, some teams, your games like England, our games are at home in the group stage.
Starting point is 00:29:12 If we make it out of the group stage, oddly enough, our next match is in Rome and Italy's next match is in London. So you know, there will be some travel involved, but yeah, it's, I don't know, I guess they've done it that way because of COVID. But it's also some of the groups, it's possible to qualify from the group if you came third. So there's still going to be a shitload of teams in the next stage. So I don't know quite why they've done it that way, but they have.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Are they just, is everyone just, these teams just flying all over the fucking place? Yeah. To play this game. They are, yeah. I mean, I assume they'd be flying like on just the team on a plane sort of thing because sometimes like i've been on a plane and you'll see a team of of athletes flying out somewhere i know mrs f flew when she flew for me she was in ethiopia for work when she flew back
Starting point is 00:29:54 to london half the plane was very skinny guys that looked like they were all and they were all wearing like athletic gear so yeah they were there for they were coming to london for the for the marathon um so yeah i mean sometimes they do fly just regular plane but i think for this i would And they were all wearing like athletic gear. So yeah, they were there for, they were coming to London for the marathon. So yeah, I mean, sometimes they do fly just regular plane, but I think for this, I would assume that they're like charter a plane or something like that. I would assume. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You've watched all the games. There's like, isn't there like six groups? There's like three games per day, right? There's three games a day. There's one at two, one at five and one at eight. There are six groups. So there are a lot of games. Yeah, three games.
Starting point is 00:30:24 So I literally come down to- You've watched like 30 to 30 games no there haven't been that many games yet there have been hold on it slows down once the group stage is done 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 yeah i've watched quite a few games okay yeah fair enough man if you're into it i mean i love it yeah you know it's good good to have something something to get stuck into right it's and it's not like It's going on forever. It's you know, it's good. Yeah, I've watched 24 games so far I think I think that's how many it was supposed to happen last year, but it didn't yeah Yeah, yeah, because it's one of those things that's happening So this does do you think it's been like does it be okay like and like do you think it's bodeswell for the Olympics happening in?
Starting point is 00:31:03 It's been great stuff like it's it's been great there are fans in the stadiums um for the game in uh budapest it was like 60 000 and there was patch because victor orban i think his name is the president of budapest of um uh hungary yeah he's kind of a piece of shit he was just like fuck covid we're just going with whatever yeah we're watching some football yeah so they just jammed him in there you know yeah he's a bit of an oddball to say the least um and he's kind of a piece of shit but uh in fact i think he is a piece of shit but it was it was honestly hype to have a crowd again and people booing and whistling and cheering and everything it was it was great football isn't football when there's no crowd it just it just isn't i don't think any sport is because yeah the atmosphere is lacking yeah you're just thinking what is this for like if there's nobody
Starting point is 00:31:48 there you're thinking what why does why should i care there's like the players don't even look like they care and they're just jogging about and you think what what is this like sport without a crowd it's sort of like is this that important that we have to have it even if nobody's watching it's kind of stupid i mean at least we got tv footage but it's just i don't know it sucks all the life and soul out of it did you guys see the cristiano ronaldo coca-cola snub i did i did see that so he did see that so but coca-cola is one of the sponsors of course ronaldo sits down for his press conference after the portugal game and there's two bottles of coke in front of him and a bottle of water and he picks up the bottles of coke
Starting point is 00:32:25 and he goes Coca-Cola and shakes his head and slides them out of shot and he picks up the bottle of water and he goes Agua
Starting point is 00:32:32 and then carries on that was it it was pretty good it was pretty funny but apparently their share price dropped like 2%
Starting point is 00:32:40 before when he did it Jesus Christ get me a renown as agent on the phone it's like how how is that two percent it's like four billion pounds i mean it'll recover it's just a blip but it's still fucking hilarious to think it is ronaldo moving some bottles of coke can wipe four billion dollars off your your share price we should all do that everybody everybody should just get bottles of coke and slide them out of view and go oh and hold up a bottle of water we'll kill this company oh my god that would be a that would be a
Starting point is 00:33:09 real titan i coke is one of those things that you know like i you're always told that warren buffett invests in because it's one of those things that people are just always going to need for hundreds of years you know it's not going anywhere it's been going for 100 years and it's so massive it's just going to keep going a hundred more like yeah, hi beans and Others you know hides like it's just stuff like that. You know stuff. That's so kind of I should invent ketchup and beans honestly I consume so many of them. It's insane like God It's it's staggered. Yeah, it's like it's it's like they're always gonna to be there. People are going to always want to season their food
Starting point is 00:33:46 with the thing that they've seasoned their food with for their whole life. It is weird how some brands, like Coca-Cola is just a sugary drink, but there is nothing that tastes exactly like Coca-Cola. And whatever they put in it, it is genuinely a unique flavor and other things come close,
Starting point is 00:34:03 but the difference between Diet coke and regular coke is still there like an ice cold can of coke just imagine it now wherever you are if you're hot and someone offers you an ice cold can of coke it's got like the it's got like the dew yeah it's got the build up on the outside of the can and stuff maybe pour it into a glass of ice same thing as mcdonald's with the consistency it's all about the consistency right it's got their their skill is that they manufacture this thing in hundreds of plants across the world, but it all tastes the same. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And it's supposed to. And it's interesting. I read about the Twinkies, right? So they obviously went bankrupt a few years back because... What, Hostess went bankrupt? Yeah, like the whole... No, it was not what Hostess did. No, it did.
Starting point is 00:34:41 The whole thing collapsed for a couple of years. It was formally distributed by Hostess brands. No, it did. The whole thing collapsed for a couple of years. It was formally distributed by Hostess brands. Yes. Yes, it was. And originally, they had some supply line issues. They just sort of didn't. They were making a lot of losses somehow. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:34:56 It was all just terribly out of date. Hostess went bust in 2012, Sips. What? Nearly a decade ago. Oh, my God. Hostess potato chips. That a like a big staple of my childhood i ate a lot of hostess potato chips you know so so what happened was there was this this mania where people were buying up all the boxes because it was going out of business
Starting point is 00:35:17 they were selling for like 100 quid for a box of money ebay it was out of control oh my god um because they're so ingrained in American culture, these cakes. Twinkies, yeah. So what happened was they ended up, like, selling just the rights for the name Twinkies to another company that then relaunched Hostess Brands and relaunched Twinkies.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And now they're, you know, you can buy chocolate once and all sorts of different ones again. I mean, they're terrible for you. They're just sugary. They're massively out of date. But they're so iconic as a brand in people's minds like even we as brits you know understand jokes about twinkies and sort of know what they are yeah um which is which is kind of amazing really the power of the american media and you know it's only from
Starting point is 00:36:00 watching tv and stuff you know it's not like we buy them we all can buy them in shops um it's only from you know the fonz joking about them or whatever oh that's a big twinkie probably movies more than anything right ghostbusters try to imagine a twinkie approximately 35 feet long weighing over 400 the cop the cop in die hard is eating a twinkie in his car right when uh the call comes through for Nakatomi Plaza and all that. I used to love them when I was a kid because it's fucking sugar. We never got them. We had them occasionally but it wasn't like a... In Canada we had Joe Louis
Starting point is 00:36:35 though, right? They're like big wagon wheels. Joe Louis. Like the Canadian state. Pepsis and Joe Louis. That was the combo. I got Cadbury's mini rolls that's what my dad would would would always give us right in our in our lunch box a cadbury mini so here's a question when when you had a packed lunch uh did your mom or dad um who made your partner my mom made mine uh my mom my mom made the sandwich and then i and could just, like, grab other stuff to, like, bulk out the rest of the lunch.
Starting point is 00:37:07 You could tell. She always made my lunch for some reason. Yeah. You could tell who made the sandwich because my dad would make, like, a Marmite one, and I don't like Marmite. Do you know what I mean? He'd be like, oh, yeah, I've got something weird here, which I don't like. My dad must have made it. That's like when Homer makes Bart's pack lunch.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Man, there were no rules at like what my at my kid's school now it's like you can't have anything with nuts in it you can't have anything with sugar in it like there's so many rules but when i went to school there was no rules oh no like people brought pepsis and like fucking chocolate bars and like big bags of like potato chips and stuff for lunch like no problem like nobody what i want to know is that i'm at my kid's school at the primary school there's no peanuts no chocolate there's a couple of other things when did the peanut thing become such a big deal that you can't take peanuts into school it's just it's allergies right like kids right but i could definitely take breaking out in hives and stuff yeah, it can't be that it's a new thing unless everybody's suddenly allergic to peanuts.
Starting point is 00:38:09 No, no. Well, I think there is. There has been, like, an uptick in people who are allergic to peanuts. And I think it's something to do with, like, diet during pregnancy. I might be wrong about that. Like, I just remember hearing something about it how there was this like phenomena recently that people are generally more allergic to certain things than they used to be for whatever reason um but i think back then as well there was just like a lot less awareness about it right it was kind of like i think back in the day the kids who were allergic to peanuts were eating
Starting point is 00:38:39 their lunch in the nurse's office yeah whereas now they're allowed to sit with the other kids and we're trading sandwiches they're just fucking messing around yeah you know i think that i think that back in the day the sickly kids with the peanut allergies had probably already been bumped off by various this was the 80s and 90s they'd like to round in the pool or something everyone remembers that sick kid you know i was the sick everybody everybody in my school's name was it was chad and brad and uh if you had a nut allergy you were you were getting a wedgie for sure like uh there's no way like that your nut allergy was not the worst of your problems like uh you you were you were having you're getting rolled for your chicago bulls jacket that your grandma bought you
Starting point is 00:39:20 and also your lunch money and everything else too it's just you know it's the 80s i mean it's not my fault. Just that's how it was. So apparently they're saying that in infants with a family history of peanut allergy, consuming peanut proteins at 4 to 11 months has been shown to reduce the risk of developing an allergic response by 11 to 25%. Right. So the American Academy of Pediatrics rescinded their recommendation
Starting point is 00:39:41 to delay exposure to peanuts in children. Also stating there's no reason to avoid them during pregnancy or breastfeeding. And they're saying that during pregnancy, they're not sure. They don't know whether peanut exposure or not is a good thing or whatever. So it's weird to me that we're not sure why there's peanut allergies. I mean, presumably it's increased. I mean, I understand asthma increases because of like air quality has gone down in the last few years whereas peanut allergies what have we suddenly got bad peanuts did something happen to the peanuts no i think air quality uh she has been going up like this is one of those things
Starting point is 00:40:13 like uh it's it's it's weird like it is it is it is one of those things where you're supposed to let your kids eat dirt or something when they're young so everything's everything's so clean and and stuff and everyone's wiping everyone down with fucking death hole especially nowadays right but I mean there's a pandemic we're not experts on why this or whether it's even increased at all
Starting point is 00:40:36 but I think it feels like it has or at least maybe there's just awareness of it now because you know I was that kid back then that would have died if I'd eaten a peanut so you know i you know i was i was that kid back then you know that would have died if i'd eaten a peanut so yeah you know it's you know and i and i i was obviously very careful because my mom sort of told me to be careful i had to wear one of those medic alert bracelets you know that if i was having an attack people would be able to look at it and say oh it shows on the back of this did you have like the full like bubble boy like spot like the the the um like the back brace and like the
Starting point is 00:41:06 the you had like the braces like with the big like uh willie wonka had you know with like all like the instrumentation to straighten out your teeth and everything did you have all that too yeah oh i did i had a briefcase of the mouth so it's actually gone down from 1992 the uk annual mean concentration of pm which is bad has gone from 35 percent in 1992 down to 15 percent in 2020 right so it is going down but obviously the kids that were in the middle there still got asthma right and then yeah get better. I think that is definitely there's a correlation between pollution and asthma. But some countries with high pollution have almost no asthma. So it must have some genetic component or another component. I mean, I've definitely met new parents like with their precious firstborn or PFBs who before the kid sits down anywhere, they're wiping surfaces down.
Starting point is 00:42:04 And I'm'm thinking come on like your kid's gotta get some grime on them at some point there's grime and then there's just like you know some of these places you go to yeah i mean you know like the table and the chair is sticky and you just right right right but at the same time you know they're fucking discussed in any way like the yeah you take them to a play group of course kids will happily touch the bottom of their shoe and then put their hand in their mouth two seconds oh of course yeah there's no avoiding that so i don't think there's any point wiping i mean if you put them if you know if you're putting them somewhere disgusting if you're taking them on a
Starting point is 00:42:37 trip down to a shantytown and there's needles everywhere fair enough let's be careful here but i'm just saying you you go to McDonald's, you don't need to fucking wipe everything down. Let me pitch this to you, right? You're making a sausage on a barbecue. Right. I'm picturing it. I can see the sausage. The sausage is cooked,
Starting point is 00:42:54 and it's a slippery sausage. You go to put it in your bun, it slips out, out of your hands, onto the floor. Okay, now let's say the floor is a grass, just a grass, just a field,
Starting point is 00:43:07 like a nice, a farm field of grass where I was at the weekend. Right? Is that okay? Well, so you're dropping it on the grass. Yeah, I'm dropping it on grass. I might think twice about it.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I'd probably eat that. So yeah, this has actually happened to me. I wouldn't eat it. Do you know what? Funnily enough, I would not eat something that fell onto grass
Starting point is 00:43:23 and got covered in dust and grass and stuff. Well, if it's covered in dirt, I would consider the grass to be in all likelihood cleaner than my garden where the dog does her business. Like I would think the grass is probably good. And the chance of an animal peeing exactly where I've dropped my sausage is unlikely. Other than why I dropped my sausage sounds funny. And then, okay, so you would eat that. Yeah, I probably would. Farm grass sausage full.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I probably would, yeah. See what I mean? And then what about like the next stage up though? Like the local park, maybe like a nice big local park or a green space in town yeah maybe in Queen's Square you're in Queen's Square
Starting point is 00:44:08 you've got a barbecue going your sausage just drops off the side of the disposable barbecue you pop it back on too much footfall imagine you're cooking
Starting point is 00:44:15 sausages and you're not necessarily going to eat them but you drop one and you put it back on the barbecue oh that's even worse
Starting point is 00:44:21 is anyone going to notice I am never doing that I'm never doing that if it falls on the floor it goes in the garbage that's for me. Is anyone going to notice? I am never doing that. I'm never doing that. If it falls on the floor, it goes in the garbage. That's for me. I don't pick stuff up. Floor food is not food anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:31 I've watched people do this regularly. People do this and they're fine with it. Who invented this five-second rule? Who invented it? Where did it come from? Because they need to pay for their price. They're long dead now because they got some weird disease from eating crap off the floor. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:44:49 I mean, what do you think? The germs have to notice the sausage? Yeah. And then go, a sausage! And then call it, oh, get on it quickly! Oh, no, it's lifting up! Oh, no, we need more than five seconds to properly latch onto it! So stupid.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I make a judgment call about what it's fallen on. If I drop a Smartie onto my carpet in my lounge, I'll eat that, though. That's sticky, though. They're pretty sticky. No, no. I'm not holding them in my hand and letting them melt like like right out of the box you know like a like a fresh dry smarty out
Starting point is 00:45:32 of the box or an m&m or whatever if that like if it's like candy coated and it falls on my carpet like i'll i'll eat that i'll scoop it up and eat it pretty fast yeah okay so what what if you have a chance because i've done this before where i'm going to cook dinner and a sausage falls on the kitchen floor. Yeah. Anything like that. I will wash the sausage. I'll wash it.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And then I figure it's going into searing hot oil. Yeah. So that should kill it. It's probably not bad. It's probably okay. Anything I'm going to boil as well. If I drop it, I'll give it a wash. And then I'm going to boil it.
Starting point is 00:46:03 That'll kill whatever's on it. I think technically it's fine. But like, I don't know. i've got like a mental block about stuff like a piece of ham you know like you take a like a piece of ham out of a packet and it's like all wet and stuff oh man you drop that somewhere like you know it's just gonna get stuff stuck to it and then it's just that's like a cleaning rag exactly the same about sausages any meat really like meat if it touches the floor i'm just done like it's okay how about this how about this what are those dry vegan sausages that is basically just like a tube of of toilet roll right that's going in the bin regardless mate don't even put it on the barbecue just anything that is meat or even closely resembling meat if it's been on the
Starting point is 00:46:47 floor uh my my brain just like will not process it it's just it's dead to me oh so no i mean if it's a drier thing and not a sticky thing like yeah what what what is you know could you like imagine you've got the gravel it could you drop a sausage on the gravel and gravel is annoying what about what about a a perfectly curved and perfectly shaped uh potato chip if you drop a sausage on the gravel? Gravel is annoying. What about a perfectly curved and perfectly shaped potato chip if you drop that on your carpet? I'd eat that as well. Because it's like barely any of it is even touching the carpet, right? I know, but there will be little carpet fibers
Starting point is 00:47:17 and there's little mites and things in there. I guess they're probably not harmful. A lot of that shit you're ingesting without even realizing anyway. I think the older I've gotten as well, the more tolerant I am to stuff. It needs to be the other way. Actually, when I was a kid, I ate anything. And then when I was a teenager, I ate nothing. And now I eat anything again.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I'll eat a fucking thing. I'll just dust off any old crap and wipe it down. Go for it. I've got stomach acid in there. It's going to deal with it. That'll kill it. My body's got acid. The acid'll kill it. I've watched people on telly. That's going to deal with it. That'll kill it. My body's got acid. The acid will kill it.
Starting point is 00:47:45 I've watched people on telly eat all sorts of dumb shit. I don't think from my point of view I'm worried about actually getting sick from eating something off of the ground. I just find it kind of off-putting. You know what I mean? Like, it feels like the thing that's fallen on the ground is just tainted now. And I just don't want to eat it. Right. It, like, puts me off of the thing i lose my
Starting point is 00:48:06 appetite suddenly when something's touched the ground well here's one for you this didn't need to touch the ground and i was at a park and uh there was an ice cream truck there and we all got lollies for the kids and we got them for the grown-ups as well and i had a cider lolly which i hadn't had in ages do you remember the cider lolly? No, I don't. So it's like a regular lolly. You know, there'll be like raspberry and lemon and whatever, apple. And then there's cider. Cider flavor? Yeah, it's a cider lolly.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Is it got any alcohol? I can't have alcohol in it. Well, that was the thing. When we were kids, we were like, they can't sell you the cider lolly if you're a kid because it's got alcohol in it. So when you buy it, and the guy, of course, sells it to you because it's just
Starting point is 00:48:45 a fucking lolly, you're like, he sold us a cider lolly. We're going to get so pissed. You need this cider lolly. So when I ordered it, she sort of gave me this look like,
Starting point is 00:48:55 the cider lolly? Really? And she sort of fumbled around about there for ages, produces this cider lolly, sort of hands it to me suspiciously. When I unwrapped it,
Starting point is 00:49:03 this thing looked like someone had trodden on it, frozen it again, suspiciously when i unwrapped it this thing looked like someone had trodden on it frozen it again trodden on it frozen it again it was like all the water was leaking out in crystals it was just a really weird shape it was kind of discolored and i was like i can't remember if this is what they're meant to look like maybe it's because there's cider in it it's like you know this is what they look like so i got i thought she was gonna ask you for id when you bought it i got halfway through this lolly and i started feeling like oh oh just spraying shit everywhere i was all right i managed to ride it out but i was like you started getting paranoid about it and that made you feel sick the cider love oh man
Starting point is 00:49:44 that's hilarious I love that she wasn't sure about I love it when you order something from one of these places and they have to lean out of the van to look at the menu as if it's like well we sell that yeah you made the menu and you probably ordered the stock as well
Starting point is 00:49:59 like it's judging by the quality of this cider lull you're not for 10 years is that still on there? she puts an X on it and then hands me the last one Like, it's like... Judging by the quality of this side lolly, not for 10 years, I'd say. Is that still on there? She puts an X on it and then hands me the last one. I'm like, phew. I had a fab recently and...
Starting point is 00:50:12 Oh, that's a good lolly. And yeah, they are good. They got like the hard chocolate inside. Oh, man. It was actually on Sunday. We watched the England match, which I missed half of. I was on my way in to watch it. And I was just I
Starting point is 00:50:27 was taking some washing off the line in my backyard because we we do that. And it was really hot. So everything everything dried off immediately. It was awesome. Anyway, I'm doing that and I'm on my way in and everybody's getting ready to watch the match. And I was like, oh, great. You know, we're going to sit down and just like watch football all afternoon. It's going to be fantastic. And then I just heard this massive, massive bang like from the road just outside my house. And it sounded like somebody had lost something off the roof of their car. Like it sounded like something fell off the roof of their car and then just smashed on the pavement like just outside my house.
Starting point is 00:51:03 So my first instinct was like fuck's sake like who the fuck is doing this like on a sunday like so i went around to look they're rushing to get back for the england match so i went around the went around the corner to look and uh man there's just this this girl wearing like full like biker stuff just on the ground like on my driveway yeah she just like come off of her her moped or bike or whatever like it was like a like a like a motorcycle sort of like um driving school thing that they do like on a sunday all of the like her instructor was there and like a bunch of people had stopped there's like this big convoy of like stopped motorcycles yeah she just like
Starting point is 00:51:39 lost control of her bike well i had to phone the ambulance like the ambulance came the police came everything and um i think she i think she fell off and um like smashed her knee on like the corner of the wall which is like oh i think i'm assuming she's all right like i mean they they the the ambulance guys like stood her up and asked her to like you know uh put pressure on her leg and stuff like run it off just run it off but then yeah they took her away in the ambulance and she was like she was really upset because like oh she's like 16 years old um yeah so it's pretty bad it was uh it was pretty rough so it was it was exciting then i had to do that like that dad thing you know like um i felt for a side of lolly no i
Starting point is 00:52:21 did not but because i because i called the ambulance and this was happening like on my driveway i had to just like stand out there with my arms crossed like you know like a like a like a dad would do sort of thing i felt somehow involved you know every once in a while somebody be like is this your place is this is this your house um did you see anything happen i'm just like uh no and then and then in the end uh it was like really really hot and i just said to the police like um do i need to be out here and he's like oh no no no no you're fine i was like all right peace see you later and just went in but uh it was it was it was pretty uh pretty crazy i hope she's okay too but i'm assuming she is like i i think it was just like a like a nasty biff you
Starting point is 00:53:00 know like but i don't think it was anything serious but luckily she was um she had like all like she was wearing jeans and she had like a leather jacket and all like the you know what i mean it was a hot day like uh when the ambulance guys turned up they were like oh man we were worried that you know when we heard that somebody had had an accident on a bike that it would be like you know shorts and flip-flops sort of thing right because of the weather and the driving instructors like no no no like you know we wouldn't let them out god that is honestly when people when i see people right you don't see it as much now uh in the uk and whenever i go to florida there's people riding around on motorcycles no helmet shorts no
Starting point is 00:53:36 yeah that's wild and you think if you come off that thing like i think uh i think that i there's a like at 40 or 50 miles an hour you lose like an inch of skin and bone for every second that you're in contact with the asphalt traveling at that speed. Oh my God. Wiped away. Yikes. It's so, so bad. I mean, I've come off my bike a couple of times and I think, you know, it's been very painful and I've hurt myself every time. And that's going pretty slow, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:03 So, I mean, God. hurt myself every every time and that's going pretty slow yeah you know so in god it's test i think the other thing is you just you lose perspective right when you're driving or or or on a motorbike it feels like you're playing a game you know you don't you don't treat it like you like you should very quickly because it feels so i don't know like an otherworldly experience almost this is why you know when when when people get in any kind of contretemps in their car they lose their shit like people respond in a way that they never would normally because it's there's something happens to your brain when you're in your car where it's like a an impenetrable bubble is how you've built it up in your head because i think how else can we cope mentally with the idea of
Starting point is 00:54:42 driving on a motorway like you're all driving at like 70 80 miles an hour in these little metal boxes and you're just hoping the guy in front of you doesn't just suddenly wag the wheel to the right and like cause a huge pileup or yeah yeah you know that a fucking tree doesn't just land like you're just trusting that this is fine yeah so i think when it's suddenly not fine people freak the fuck out and they they do not know how to handle it like people losing their shit i'm it's crazy i i don't have like i don't have like any road rage or anything like that like i i'm a pretty like comfortable like confident driver or whatever and like i you know i wouldn't like get mad enough to like honk my horn at anyone or or anything like that but um if you're in a car with
Starting point is 00:55:26 your whole family and you get stuck down a farm lane and you're trying to reverse and everybody's like trying to like talk to you at the same time and stuff that is rage inducing like i've had times where i just have to like blank them i can't even answer them because i'm so furious about the whole situation you know like people not recognize don't read the room or in this case the car i'm trying to fucking concentrate like for me it's in really heavy traffic on the motorway and there's yapping and arguing going on i'm like ready to flip because i just just let me concentrate on this shitty situation yeah yeah get us through it i'm just trying to reverse the car here like i'll you know happily talk to you after this this kind of tricky maneuver is done
Starting point is 00:56:05 but you know what i mean i like they don't do that to pilot you know you don't have them up in the cockpit like you know you're trying to land the the transat flight in the middle of the ocean or whatever they're not in there saying like oh did you hear about debbie's um diaper mishap or what you know what i mean it's like come on yeah come on like i know it's not the same like trying to reverse out of farmland but at the time it's so stressful it feels like it could be you know like you can you can definitely trick yourself into thinking that i just remembered something uh there is a show this is a complete change of subject there's a show on the bbc iplayer at the moment called uh time It's got Sean Bean in and Stephen Gray in.

Starting point is 00:57:01 a level of jugging I had hitherto was not aware of. They put sugar in the kettle so the sugar melts and it gets all sticky and then they jug you. It's grisly. Oh, man.
