Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. Hello everyone and welcome back to the Triforce podcast. It's been a little while.

Has it? I say that when we've had a few weeks off. Yeah, but you, the listener, would not have noticed that at all because we're so ahead of the game. That's right. It's almost like we've been doing this podcast for like 10 years. Although we are recording this podcast on the wrong day because we've ran out of podcasts. And so.

True. But my God, Pflax, world global traveler. He's a globe trotter. Yeah. He's out. He's been around. Dota hosts. Celebrity doing a lecture at York University.

Apparently again. Wait you hear about that? I saw a little article on. it. I see. You're allowed to shout out the things you're doing. Yes. He still keeps in touch with his academic roots.

Are you embarrassed about it? No, I just, I don't know. I don't like self-promotion of any kind. It's a master class lecture, apparently. Although, I don't really think it's a master class at all. But it's just. Don't do yourself down. You've got a lot of things to say about.

Talking about working in esports, yeah. You know a lot of things. You're a font of wisdom in that head. Let me tell you, here, just, just, bear this in mind. Here's the, this is the event details that they listed on the, on the website at York University.

It's on Friday as we record this, so it's at the 6th of March or whatever. And it's going to be, you can watch it online, apparently. And it's on the, they talked about everything. I've done this before.

And York University is lovely. They do a module or they did a module on their degree. Do you guys want to hear the long version of why I do this or the short version? Why you do what exactly? Go to York University. Oh, go to York University. So I thought you were like, I thought it was like in a movie, you know, like, Do you want to know why I do this?

Like that kind of thing. No, sadly not. I'm going to do the modified version because it is quite interesting. So for those of you don't know anything about Dota and the sort of history of it, there was a castor, probably the most famous castor at the time called Toby Wan, who was like the number one castor in Dota. I remember him. And he was then chucked out of the scene in disgrace when Dota had its own sort of

Me Too thing. And we booted out a bunch of bad actors. Obviously, you know, we went through. That was a long time coming. That was a long time ago as well, actually. We knew a lot. We knew he was a creep and that nothing was being done for multiple years. So at the time that that happened was also when, obviously, we and the Yogs were also going

through a similar kind of event, which, you know, it was like a genuinely horrible time. for all involved. And I, you know, was there in the thick of the Dota one. Multiple communities, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was, yeah, like you guys said, it was important that it happened. And Toby one was booted out. But prior to that, he was kind of, how can I put this? He was easily convinced by ne'er-do-well investors to use his Dota fame to push their

bullshit scams. So this was a scheme called, or scam called Tobycoin was what we all in the scene referred to it as. He basically was going to launch a cryptocurrency and he was encouraging all of the people that he needed to work in Dota to get involved and we would each have a coin. So there would be flax coin, Toby coin, there would be slacks coin, Odie pixel coin, and fans of hours would buy our coin, push up the price, and we would then use some of that coin value to put on events. Right. And the problem, of course, comes from that. Why would you invest in something where you actually

just want someone to make events? They're going to take money out and your investment's going to go down. So it's a terrible idea. These things always seem to just turn into big rug pulls, though, anyway, don't they? They say, like, oh, yeah, we're going to spend all the money that we make on doing something fun, but like that never happens. It's just like, holy shit, look at all this money. See ya. Exactly. And also, they never really say who it's going to be fun for. I mean, if the event is selling the coin and going to, you know, some holiday destination on a yacht, sure, I can see that, but anyway. So they launched, he launched this Toby coin thing and in order to promote it,

he invited a bunch of us up to York University because he knew that they had a production house there, like a course, and he could get cheap labor in the form of the students to put on a show. And he was the host of this show. Now, I assume he watched some of those UK panel shows that Jimmy Carr seems to host. You know the ones where they all sort of have a lot of each other. Nine out of ten cats and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. And cat count down.

Eight out of ten cats. Yeah, all that. So Toby tried to do that. Exactly right. So he tried to host that. Yes. But he's not funny at all. And he has no charisma and he opened the show by just insulting us.

Now, when Jimmy Carl were a comedian does it. Right. So when Jimmy Carl were a comedian does it, it's funny. But he was just like, here introducing our next contestant is Pyrrion Flax. He's an old fat, bold cunt, and he's a fucking shit at Dotes and he's a thick-o. You don't have that rapport with them. That hasn't yet been established with the audience either. It's not funny.

I get it. It's like, you can't just launch it to insult me. It's really funny when you do it. Oh my God. He just delivered it to a stony-faced audience who were just like, this is awkward. I was just like,

why is this show? It was like a vaguely video game. I love that. I love the idea of him saying that sentence. And they're just silence. Yeah, that was literally it. So anyway, that was at York University. And they then had a panel afterwards where we went into the auditorium

and there were a bunch of students and faculty people there. And Florian chatted to us. Florian's the head of the course. And he said, so in them. Look at this fucking poindexter with his fucking nerd in the front row with this cump face and a stupid bastard hat on. You've got a question. Shithead.

Yeah, sorry. Am I in the wrong lecture? So the question was, we're going to have an e-sports module. Oh, sorry, we're going to do an esports degree, starting from a couple of years' time. What? People can learn esports production. They went along the line of people and they said, what do you think? And everyone said, great idea.

E-sports is great, fantastic. Comes to me, grumpy, you know, opinionated belligerent bastard. And I was like, I think it's a shit idea and you definitely shouldn't do it. And they were like, again, total silence in the room. And Florian says, hmm, why do you think that? And I said, because there's nothing unique to e-sports production. that you can just learn on a production. It's just normal production.

Exactly. With just a couple of other things to consider, but it's not, it's no different than, you know, producing a TV series versus producing a movie or producing a play or, you know what I mean? Like, each one has its own little nuances, but it's not. 100%. It's not a million miles away. They're not a million miles away from each other. It's just organizing people to do the things that they need to do at the end of the day.

two caveats are the one hand, these universities do require, they do put on some stupid fucking courses. You can do a degree in Pokemon and all this dumb shit. You can do a degree in the dumbest stuff. And part of it also is to promote it to potential students, right? Like you want to sell your course. You know, these universities are in competition to get the best students. Something like this makes it seem like, whoa, these guys are like modern. They know what's going on. They got their finger on the post. So exactly, like you'd be surprised how much marketing goes into selling courses to students, right? So you've got to think of it as that, like, they're, they, the sports component is probably just a production degree with a hook, right? But, but they call it that.

And so I think I completely agree with you. Right, right, right. Oh, yeah, you can see why they might do it. Like, I get it. And this was like, oh, when would this have been? God, I don't know. 2015. What would be the normal class to go to if you were interested in media production like that? What that's exactly, you just described it? Media studies or something. It would be media production, creative technology, something like that.

Okay. So there should just be a module about esports in there. It should have its own thing. That's what I did. They had a module. Yeah, that might be like, I went back a couple of years later and Florian said to me, we listened to your advice, we talked about it, we thought you're probably right. And we just have it as a module now.

And it's like, you know, you can opt to do it. So when I went back there, there was some guys doing to, there was, you know, group of students doing the e-sports module and they did the module and they put on a little tournament. Sure. Brilliant. Job done. Yeah, that's fine. And you've learned about, you know, what are the unique challenges, but it's not a three-year course.

No, I wouldn't have thought. Because if you then go, oh, I've got e-sports production, to someone working in traditional production, they might say, well, doesn't sound like you know anything about traditional production, even though you do. Yeah. But you've labeled it. All the technical stuff after that, it's just, it's just sheer experience that is going to help you with that, right? You just have to get involved in something and understand how it all fits together and how it flows and where you need to be and stuff. But I guess that's the same for a lot of stuff.

Like the tournament stuff, like the actual running the games and all that, you're not going to learn that in a degree anyway. No, of course not. You're not going to learn how to run a Dota tournament. No, you've got to get a sweaty land party. You've got to get a couple of sweaty land parties organized. Got to take your shirt off and you got to get you got to get right in there. Get some quake going or some Doom. Exactly.

Real up-to-date stuff like that. Yeah, get some Duke Nukem 3D in there. One CRT under each arm. So do you get back, invited back every year, P-Flax? Not every year. Not every year. Not every year. Because, first of all, I think Florian,

the guy who runs it, he always feels like he's bothering me when he messages me, and I've always made clear I'm not, but he, I think he thinks I'm much busier and that I have much on. Right, I can easily do it. That's not a bad, that's not a bad way for people to perceive you. Like, I think people think that of me as well, because I don't respond to stuff, but the truth is, I'm just lazy. Lazy and I don't actually have that much to do at all. Sleepy a lot of the time is how I would describe it.

But so they wrote a nice blurb about me. they mentioned you guys. And interestingly, well, they said in this verb for the talk. Yeah, it says he co-hosts the long-running Triforce podcast with Lewis Brindley, full name, and Sips. That's all you get known as. Yeah, I know that. Nobody wants to bust out love us, though.

It just sounds. It's a good name, man. It's too close to the bone, right? Yeah. They think it's like a joke name that they don't want to try to pronounce. Yes, that's true. So they just stick with the easy one. But then they touched at the very end a nice little backhanded compliment.

His career, meaning me, is a masterclass in building a sustainable media presence from authentic personality rather than pro-level play. Proving you don't even be the best of the game to make a living from it. In other words, he's shit at Dota and still somehow has a career. Yeah, I mean, I think that's true of a lot of people. True. Well, obviously not true of pros and stuff. But it's a weird one because some, like, you might have the personality and not the skills,

but then it works the other way too. You might have the skills and no personality at all sort of thing. Exactly. And it's hard to maintain, it's hard to maintain like pro-level gaming skills rather than just maintaining a personality, which is just natural to you anyway, right? So in the long run, I think you probably win. But that's why. I just got chatting to them and I've been up a few times.

They were interested in Dota for a while because they wanted to try and see if someone, like one of the production houses running these events like ESL or whoever it was, would be interested in buying their, like they had this machine learning tool that could look at the data of all these matches and produce cool statistics. And they wanted to try and push that and see if people were interested in that. Like, yeah, I mean, they're just, they're lovely. Like, you go up there and it's just all lovely, smart young people and they've got all questions and stuff.

So that's that. Sounds good. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting. Yeah, it is interesting. On the topic of you being called Sips, I got a message from a journalist at the Jersey evening post yesterday Sips, I'm forwarding on to you. They like to do inverted commas, big read featured interview with an Islander.

Right. And they thought it might be good to interview inverted commas Sips. Oh, man. The thing is, though, I think there's like other, there's some. There's like some old like FIFA YouTubers that are from here that are way bigger that they could probably get a better interview out of.

No, he's this guy's interested in you. So I forwarded an email. So definitely give that reply. I did some stuff with traditional media recently because we've just done the groundbreaking ceremony for the jingle jam building, which is part of the one of the things that we've raised money for in the jingle jam over the years.

Grand Appeal, who are the supporting charity for Bristol Children's Hospital are building this patient hotel, which basically is a place for families to stay when their kids are in hospital. And so they, we finally, you know, started, because there's so many hoops that had to jump through building a building at the city centre. And they finally got permission and they've dug the area out with this huge digger. And the mayor of the west of England came down for the, the mayor of the whole of the

West of England? The mayor of the west of England. That makes no sense. Who is this? Helen Godwin. We had a mayor called Alan Godwin. Marvin Reese or something like a Bristol mayor.

We had a Bristol mayor. And he ran on the idea that he didn't think there should be a mayor anymore. And so when he got to be mayor, he ran a vote to say, do you still want a mayor? And everyone said, no. And so he deleted himself, basically.

He killed himself? That's pretty cool. Well, if he actually killed himself, that's not cool. But I mean, I feel like we need more of that in politics, you know, like people who understand what people want and then give them the ability to vote on the things that they want, right? Instead of just like much of the same, like old all the time. I think that's a neat story. If it's true, I mean, is it a hoax? It is true.

I could have misremembered it. Anyway, we have a mayor of the west of England now. So just to be clear, it's not a very big area. No. It's actually remarkably small. Yeah. The west of England, to me, is a big chunk of the country. Yeah, it's kind of like, it's like all.

It's all the bits underneath Wales, basically, isn't it? No, it's not even that. It's like a tiny cluster. It's like a boil on the right-hand side of Wales. It's not big at all. Yeah. Well, we got mayor anyway, some sort of mayor. Like a skin tag.

Yeah, it's actually a skin tag. It's a skin tag on the chin of Wales. She was really nice. You met her? Yeah, she was there, obviously. Did she tell you she has a tiny penis or a gaping vagina? I don't know. She didn't.

I commented on her nice pink. She wore like some loose fitting. Wait, wait, you told her she had a nice blouse? Nice jacket. Are you fucking Alan Partridge? Listen, we took some photos, we did some press stuff. I did an interview with the... Lovely blouse you've got on, Miss Mayor.

I did an interview with the BBC. I did an interview with ITB. I like females in positions of authority. God, anything else you want to show off about? Okay, like one newspaper wanted to interview me. We don't have to like have like ten rebuttals to that. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

I think more people, more fans might actually see your one. because my BBC and ITV interviews went out on BBC Points West, which is like the local news channel. It was on iPlayer for 24 hours. That's how long it was on there for. And I don't think it's taken down. I don't think a single, because I think that's the only,

that's as long as they leave the news stuff up. No, I think it's a host of complaints were registered within 24 hours. No one in the community saw it as far as I could tell. I was checking the red ear and things like this. No one saw it at all. Man. And the same with the ITV one. I think someone's,

someone's like a local ITV. Like, like, like there's ITV localized like BBC does. Like you got like BBC London. You got BBC West. You got like we, we get BBC West,

but we also have BBC Jersey. And like if BBC Jersey, if it's the weekend and they're not working, we get BBC Southwest. God, yeah. During the week, we get BBC Jersey when they're all back at work.

Yeah. I mean, it's very niche. And, I really, I can't remember who it was, but someone's mom was watching, actually happened to be watching and sent a message to one of the people who was there saying, oh, I saw you on the telly. And I think that was the only thing, you know, so it's the traditional media. It's quite funny, really. I got talking with a couple of the people from the, from some of these traditional media things. And they were just like, they still don't really understand what YouTube is in 2026. It's like, what the hell?

So yeah, it's Do you know, we were watching Have you guys watched all of the IT crowd? Have you watched every episode of it? I enjoyed it less and less as time went on. Yeah, I know. Some of the stories are like a little bit weirder like in the in the like as the series sort of wraps up or whatever.

But I don't know if you remember. I've been watching it because my son likes it. So we've been watching like the whole thing through and we're almost done. But one episode that. made me laugh a bit was the episode where Jen is dating a guy who looks like a magician. Do you remember that? Yes, it's got got got go-tee. Yeah, well, Lewis, I never thought about it, but actually, I think you look like a bit of a magician as well. Like that episode prompted me to think, oh, hang on,

this guy looks a little bit like Lewis and also, come to think of it, I think Lewis looks like a magician. I think there's times in your life, definitely, where you've looked like you could be a real-life magician. Have you ever thought of maybe becoming even just a part-time magician, like on the side or whatever? Because like you have to have a look for it, you know? Like you've got to have like that sleek sort of look, which I think that you do have sometimes. I think you've got like that, that intense gaze sometimes as well, you know, of a magician. Listen, listen. Listen, listen. I think magicians are born in, in, you know, of a magician. Listen, listen to me. magicians are born in young.

Into magic. In the font of magic. That's where they draw their powers from. You have to get into it as a kid, I think. I wouldn't be a good magician, though. I don't have like the, I don't have like the, like the deportment for it, I think.

Or like the personality type. Like I wouldn't be a good magician at all. Because I don't think I'm a very serious person really, you know? Like, they have this ability to be very serious and then that makes you trust them more somehow because there's like a trust component with magicians too, right?

Well, they have to be deeply charismatic, really. They're really extroverted people who are able to, you know, distract people and look people in the eye and really just kind of fuck with people. It's like a confidence thing, right? Yeah, 100%. It really, like, so much of it is.

And an understanding body language. a really good magician. That's all, it made me think, you know, maybe it's based on nothing, but just watching that episode, I just wanted to tell you, I thought about you and I thought that you could look like a magician at times and maybe you'd be a great magician one day. Does it turn out that he is a magician? I can't remember. No, if you don't remember the episode, she goes often because she, uh, because people at the office say he looks like a magician and is he a magician? She's like, no, he's not a magician. He doesn't even look like one. She goes on a date with him,

realizes he does actually fully look like a magician. He does all the hand gestures, many talking like a magician and everything. And then she decides to break up with him. He doesn't want to break up. So as a compromise, he says, I'll learn magic and become a magician. And then he does like this magic show for her to try to win her over and it's terrible. And she's just like, no, it's never going to work. That sounds just not good at magic. Brilliant. Brilliant. Yeah, that's the solution is good yeah so so wow it's a good one yeah i'm glad you should watch um black books next and um oh that's such a good show yeah we've watched like i think the first season of black books i really like yeah it's good i need to watch more i think there's not much of it i think there's only about two seasons

is there only two seasons of maybe three i think i think i think the thing that we're going to watch next um after we're done the i t crowd is that one with on channel four Jonathan Ross where people are handcuffed to each other. It's like last couple standing or something like that. No, it's not my idea. We're just going to, we're apparently, that's what we're watching. We started watching this New Game of Thrones thing, the Hedge Knight thing. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually quite good. No, everyone's saying it's great. Yeah. Like, it's actually a good show. It doesn't feel like just complete whack. Right. Is it an HBO show? They've got the rights to. Yeah, it's the new game of Thrones effect.

but it's based on the adventures of Duncan Egg, who are, it's a one book novel by George Aramarton. Duncan, yes. Not Duncan Egg. Duncan Egg. And egg. Is the reason that the egg thing, because he's bald, right? And you're an egg also. Is that why you enjoying that?

Seeing a bald person on Camden. Yeah, that's it. Do you only watch TV shows with bald people in? I think he gets enough of this from your university. He doesn't expect to turn up to the podcast again as well. I'd love it. If that was the tradition, you came back and everyone just roasted you. Everybody roasts.

Oh, God. Yeah. I didn't even heard of that, actually. I should watch it. Yeah. Well, don't watch it with your son unless he's, you know. No, I know. I know.

There's a new season of industry as well that we want to watch. And we haven't been able to. watch 24 hours in police custody either because my son's still a bit young for that too, I think. Yeah. Well, it's not like gory, though, is it? Maybe it'll scare him straight. Some of it is, son of it is probably, you know, it's wild, wild off the rails. Yeah, he's, wait, which, what's crazy?

He's filled with angst. 24 hours in police custody. Some of the subject matter can be a little bit. I mean, my 14 year old loves that show. Yeah. But we're like, some of the episodes, I'm like, you know, this is going to be a pretty tough watch, love. Yeah, yeah. But I also think, you know, what, geez, when you're 14, what do you, you don't notice everything that's fucking going on?

True. Yeah. Front page news sometimes is crap. Yeah, true. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's like. And when you're walking past a newsstand down on 8th Avenue, happening not notice.

I do miss the newsstand. But you don't get that in movies anymore. When the guy, the cop goes up to the newsstand guy, hey, Jimmy. what's the word on the street, you know, that kind of stuff. They don't really get that anymore. Now you just look it up on the other. For me, I just don't even watch movies anymore. I can't remember the last time I watched a movie. I know that people still watch them, of course, but I just haven't watched any. I haven't. I'm so out of, I'm more out of the loop with movies now than I've ever been in my whole life. When I was younger, I was, I was really into them. I loved watching

movies and older movies and new stuff that was coming out. Well, I got some great movies if you want to Yeah, if you got some good suggestions. Here is, this is my movies I watched last year that you could catch up on this year. So some of them came out in 2024, but I didn't watch until 2025 when they came out on streaming. But it's a little list. September, September 5th, that's a good movie. It's the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre from the perspective of the TV crew covering it. That sounds interesting.

I could watch that. Weapons, which was a really funny. Yeah, I never watched that. It was a lot of fun. I heard weapons was very good, yeah. It's like it's bonkers and there's some stuff in it where you think what the hell is that about. But it's genuinely really entertaining. Heretic, Hugh Grant is a trap to a couple of Mormon girls in his house.

Wow. Okay. Get silly towards the end, but really good. Really good. Very unsettling. The substance, which was stupid, but a lot of fun, totally over the top. Pacing was all over the place. It's about half an hour too long, but genuinely laugh out loud, good fun horror.

And sort of like, oh my God, looking through your fingers, but then also laughing, that kind of horror. 28 years later. 28 years later? Oh, is it actually worth it? Worth a watch. Yeah, it was decent. Yeah, Ray Fines is great in it. I saw 28 days later recently, actually.

It was just, it was on and we just happened to watch it and just stuck through the whole thing and watched it. So the main thing is 28 weeks later, which is the sequel to 28 days later, has one of the best openings of a horror movie. Like, absolutely brilliant. but then it's just downhill for the rest of the hour. Like, it's such a good opening. Brilliant. But then the rest of it's crap. And 20 years later, it's good.

It was enjoyable. I haven't seen Bone Temple yet. That's meant to be pretty good as well. I'll see that. Marty Supreme, I told you guys about that. I missed it because of the toilet incident. One battle after another. One battle after another I have seen.

I saw when I was in Spain. I loved it. Yeah, I thought it was really good. House of Dynamite. I haven't seen that. That's really good. That's about a nuclear launch on America. I did see that, yeah.

And it shows it from all the different perspectives of all the people involved. And it's like, you know, excellent, really, really good. Warfare. Warfare. It was like, okay. I didn't really enjoy that much. It was about a bunch of lads in the Iraq War, the second one. They're pinned down in the house.

Lots of screaming. Yeah. Lots of screaming. I watched it. The documentary, the docus series on the second Iraq War called Once Upon a Time in Iraq's really good. I mentioned it a couple of episodes ago. It's really, really, really sad, but it's interesting. A good, good one.

A complete unknown. That's the Bob Dylan biopic. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Excellent. Excellent. Love this is a real. Mission impossible final reckoning. Mission impossible.

They're still making Mission Impossible. That's the last one in the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible run. When they started it. Yeah, I think he's done. I think that's it. How many movies has there been? There's got to be in about 10. I want to say, now I want to say,

Right. Let's have a look. Mission Impossible film series. So you've got Mission Impossible 1996 that came out. I was not convinced by that one. I was like, it's okay. That was the one that you got that trope in every movie and game known to man now when he's being lowered down with the lasers everywhere.

Yes, exactly. So there was some really good scene, very memorable. But it was just as a storyline. I didn't understand why they established the IMF and then immediately destroy the IMF in the same movie. It was like the leader is introduced and then the whole thing was, but I was like, Jesus. I don't remember the story at all. I think I might have seen Mission Impossible 2 in the theaters, but I don't, it's okay. I don't remember it at all. Doesn't you like ride a missile in that one or something? I can't remember. Fuck me. Yeah. So three is like okay, but then suddenly they get good. Ghost protocol

is really good. Rogue Nation is really good. Fallout is the best one and then Dead Reckoning one and two. like they're okay, but honestly, that Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation fallout, that is a really solid trio of Mission Impossible movies. What was that? I mean, it's like Tom Cruise, one of the last real action sort of stars, a movie star.

What was that movie that Tom Cruise was in? I watched it on a plane on a trip, I think we were going to BlizzCon or something, and I watched it. And I actually kind of liked it in the end. It was that one where... Jack Reacher? No, it's like a, it's like a sci-fi thing.

he's like a soldier and they have like these big like power suits and stuff. But it's like ground hall. It's like like ground. Tomorrow. It's like he. Fuck. I talked about it. It's the same day repeating itself.

And then in the end he kind of realizes that it's happening and he finds all these ways to die and stuff. And then, but then he falls in love with someone. And it's quite. It was it was surprisingly good. But again, I watched it on a plane. I was. Fuck.

It had two names. I can't remember what the hell it was called. Where is his Why can't I just find list of fucking movies? Tomorrow never ends. Tomorrow never comes. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's a fuck of...

Estabstabstery action star. Mission Impossible Night and Day. So, Jack, Rich, I'm in the show. The mummy. It must fallout. Fuck, I can't. Man, do you know what movie I really liked? We went to see it, Lewis.

Remember when we went to see a quiet place? I really liked that, that, the first one. But I don't know if there's been sequels. We saw it since. I don't know. The sequels are no good. They're no good. Edge of tomorrow.

20. Age of tomorrow. I guess the last time we hung out, Sips. So, so, so how are you guys otherwise feeling? You,

you're enjoying, if you, you know, a lot, it's been a long cold winter. You got any more trips away, P-Flex,

you, you, I got good news. Yesterday, yesterday I got the shorts out. And, and today, second day in a row,

I got them on. It's 13 degrees outside right now. It's a little cold here for a short. It's a little cold here for, which is, really nice.

Terry went out yesterday for a bit. My guinea pigs went out for a little bit yesterday. They were loving it. It's not really quite shorts weather here yet. It is 17 on Thursday, but I'm off to York on Thursday. I had a couple of envious dads eyeing up my shorts this morning. I could tell when I was doing the school run.

I could see those looks in their eyes like, oh, shit. This guy's way ahead of the game. He's got shorts on already. Why am I still not wearing my shorts? Oh, wow. So I'm expecting tomorrow for there to be lots of bare legs on show. Yeah, well, you'll rep you for. You'll see the idea of their mind.

I am off to Birmingham on the later this month. I'll be away for 10 days. For my birthday, birthday day is the grand final of this Dota event. Is that the Birmingham Major? I'm away yet again. They don't do majors anymore, but essentially, yes. The Birmingham Major, tell me about this major that you're involved in. Again, not a major.

They stop that whole system. It's just a tournament. But this is actually interesting. This is about qualifying for the Esports World Cup. Right. The Esports World Cup, which is meant to take place in Riyadh in July. And is being produced by an amateur team at the University of York this year. Well, welcome ass-hulls.

He's cutting their teeth. No one's going to want to travel to Riyadh at the moment. No, I suppose not. Yeah, it's going to be an interesting one. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, that is.

I'm working on my new house. I've been moved in for a month and a couple of weeks now. It's a big mess. Oh, one of my colleagues that I just worked within Sweden lives in the same town as you, Lewis. Really? The same village. Amazing. We should get in touch.

There's a little social club. You know, a little gardening club. Nice. I went, this little film club. Is it like a little, is it a little wood paneled pub that you can go to? Yes, there is. Is there a little local pub? Yeah, there is, actually.

Oh, man. You guys got to come over and we'll go down and have a pub launch. It's very, it's very countryified. You know, there's, you know, it smells like the country. What sort of fair do they serve at the pub? Oh, plowments. You can get a jack of potato. You can get.

Oh, come on. Lots of, like a mixed grill or even like a, shut the front door. Sunday roast on Sunday. I love a mixed grill. Come on a Sunday and get yourself. It's a vegan Sunday roast. A roast.

Very good. Just a Rudy roast. So, yeah, I'm working on trying to, I've basically been piling up old crap from around the house that the previous owners left here. And it's amazing to how much. How much stuff did they leave? Well, like, just a lot of broken stuff. It's like a couple of bed frames that are really old and knackered. Are they squatters or owners?

We already had this discussion. Have you not been able to sort this out here? stuff in like cupboards and in the backs of things. It's a vast estate. The previous owner left in a rush. It was Andrew Mountbatten Wiesham. That's why I got a good deal. Actually, this weekend I went to a manor house called Schiffane.

I think that's how it's pronounced manor. It's spelled Schiff, S-E-A-F-E-A-F-H-E-A-F-H-E-A-F-H-A-N-A-N-A. And it's, it's, it's, I went there for a couple of days. You can rent it. No, he went to look at some. I recommend if you get a chance to go down to Devon and rent this manor out. It's like a 16-bedroom country house.

Yeah, any of you listening to this, go and rent out a 16-bedroom luxury house if you got a free weekend. Just a recommendation to all our TriForce listeners. Perhaps you're stacking a shelf in Tesco's or on the bus in to work at the cardboard box factory. But if you do get the chance, it would really be good to rent a 16-4. room. So I went there with a bunch of gamers, board gamers. I think with the 20 of us, I ended up paying 150 pounds, 150 pounds for three nights there. That's pretty good.

I take it back. How much food did you consume and how much did you pay per head each time you ate? They've got this massive kitchen with like a huge, like three ovens, three dishwashers, three fridges, you know. So what are we talking like? sub 10 pound per head per meal or are we like floating closer to like maybe 15 or something? It wasn't much. We bought some like buns and burgers and veggie burgers.

We did a big fry up one night. Right. This is sounding like maybe one or two pounds per head per meal. I think I spent about 20 quid of food as well, yeah, and drink. That's amazing. Holy crap. Big old box of Coke, zero and cracking and all this stuff. Anyways, it's a really nice weekend.

It'll be cheap. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to live like that full time? then it would have been to just buy a house and stuff. I think you could convince all these people that you could be like, what's his face? Athene. Remember when he bought that, yeah,

he has a, maybe he still has it. Oh, Athene. God, I haven't thought about him in a long time. Yeah. Well,

the last time I saw him, he was streaming out of like an old insane asylum that he bought and his whole cult was living there as well. Look, do you know how people can, you can't do this. You can pack up your belongings. who just move around the country and live in Airbnbs and travel lodges and stuff and get on deals because

if you're clever about it and and it's Alan Partridge did for years I I it was just the UK is full of these country houses and massive buildings and amazing properties that are they must cost a fortune to maintain and as a result the family are forced to rent them out um to like an Airbnb you know and hope that the people treat them respectfully which we did obviously but this place was amazing It was like Francis Drake had owned it at one point. What were you guys doing there? There's a huge room in the middle. It looks a little bit like the place where we recorded the Blood and the Clock Tower live stuff, sips,

which we have to get you in next time. Were you in the T-Flax? He wasn't there. I was there. I fucking won. Spoiler. How you didn't even remember that it was there? Was it a bit like when we recorded Yog's Quest, the first one at the pub?

Was it like that? Yes. A little bit like that. Only twice as big or three times as big. Huge room with this long table, you know, huge long table. I was at that one. It looks like something at a Game of Thrones, you know. And we just played loads of different board games all in the same room.

It's super sociable. It was really nice. Just a great weekend. And you had 16 rooms to choose from. So you could sleep in the purple room or you could sleep in like the billiards room. Maybe it was 16 rooms. We had like, I think it was like Clued up. It was like 18 of us in total.

And so there are... A lot of the rooms are double rooms, so they could sleep two or more. It was just so nice. You walk into a room, there's just like five bald dudes blowing each other in there. 11 bedrooms it's got. Okay. Why are they going to be bold?

Well, Lewis said they were all bald. That's why. He said he went to a manor with a bunch of bold men to play games. He said board gamers. Oh, I thought he said bald men. He said board gamers. I thought he said bald gamers. You thought I said bald gamers.

Yeah, that's what I, yeah, I did. Me and 16 bald gamers. So this whole time, I'm just imagining you in like 16 bald men playing. It's like an alien convention. Just having fun, yeah. Yeah. We're not aliens. We're just bald.

Oh, man. Before we continue, starting a new business coming out with a new idea. is exciting, but it's also spooky. You never know if it's quite going to work out.

Oh, so I'm sort of trying to settle into this house. There's just too much. I've become very domestic, though. I'm doing like a lot more cleaning and tidying. Yeah. I never used to do this. Like, at my day. I've done any guttering yet.

Oh, I went up and I did duct tape some of the gus together where it'd fallen apart. I pulled out of muck out of the gutters. God, I shouldn't be... I'm going to die. I'm turning into my dad, you know. I started this... You know, I started...

One of the first things I mentioned in Yugpot or whatever was... I came home to find my dad on the roof, you know, who's... You know, at that point was in his late 70s, I think, you know. Jesus Christ. Why is he doing that? How old is he now? I feel like that's coming full circle. I'm going to be that.

I'm going to be a 70-year-old man on the roof cleaning out the gutters because that's what you have to do. I didn't realize why he was doing it. You don't have to do that. There's people that are willing to do that for money. You can get a person to do it. You can just get it done once a year. It doesn't even cost that much, honestly.

Hire someone and for blood money, they'll go up and clean your guns. You know what they have now? They have these long-reaching hoses with cameras. on them that they use. They don't even need to climb up to the roof anymore. Oh, wow. And they can use the port-lou in my driveway, which I haven't got either, by the way, Sims. I know I was supposed to.

That was your one tip. I'm going to need that. You will need to get. And if you're having any sort of work done for any sort of length of time beyond a day, I would get a port-a-loo for sure. For what it costs to rent one, it's a it's a lifesaver for sure. Yeah. Just a deal.

You don't want all those guys traips in and out all that. the time. Stinking up your toilet. So, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

I'm, I'm, I'm, I've been thrust into this realm of stuff I never thought. I would ever have to necessarily do, like figure out what kind of curtains I would like and what, if I want a carpet or not and what furniture I buy and where do I buy it and what furniture is it?

And is it a, shelf or have to now buy a wheelbarrow and a, and a chest of drawers. And I don't know. There's just too much. A step ladder. It's just too much to do. Everything, have to suddenly...

Try to buy, like, actual furniture and not flat pack stuff. That's another big tip. I'm really kind of being shell-shocked by... I lived in this flat for the last 10 years and pretty much didn't need to do or buy ever anything or think about anything ever. And now I'm like, I'm like, which color paint should this? It's just going to be too dark. It's going to be too light.

I'm like, freaking, I'm losing my freaking mind, you know? Yeah. I'm like, I tried to change a light bulb in the ceiling yesterday, and it's like one of these downlights. And when I pulled the downlight out, and all of this absolute avalanche of brown like shit came out of the light fitting and like covered me. That's not supposed to happen. I know. I don't know why that. I don't think that was a light fitting. The light fitting shouldn't look like the silenced my toilet. And a lot of shit went all over me.

porcelain chair full of water in this room. I've got it up shit. I've got, yeah, so I need to like, I was looking at getting a heat pump because the boiler is like an oil. Boiler, oil-fired boiler. And I'm like, it's time to upgrade this. And I thought, you know, I thought, oh, I'll do that when I move house. I'll just, I'll upgrade the boiler to a, to a heat pump. And I've been looking into it.

And this house is too old and too leaky. and like they won't they won't do it basically there's like no it's like no you need to just entirely reinshulate your entire house um and it's going to cost you know 20 30 000 pounds or whatever and i'm just like oh my god okay do i want to do that do i want to like i don't even but even like trying to get in contact with people don't get the foam stuff don't don't get the spray foam stuff apparently it's a nightmare oh yeah i hear that um i hear that oh i'm just being a dad all of a sudden, except for I haven't got kids. It's like I've got all the responsibility that I never wanted. You could foster some. Do you think having to change a light bulb?

You'd be doing society such a great favor if you did as well. You could adopt them. Now I had to change a light bulb. I've got all this responsibility for light bulbs. I foster 25 children. Yeah, you could stick them in your manor that you bought. I should have bought that manner. I think that man is in better condition than my house, honestly. Did you actually look inside the house? I bought 25 children. I've fostered them. I'm going to to make sure that they're all bald and they become gamers one day. They're aliens. They're also aliens.

They're all going to study at York University on my e-sports course. I'm sending them to York University. You become e-sports production specialists. Did you actually look inside the house before we purchased this? And it was full of stuff. Do you mean? It was fully furnished. So there was stuff everywhere.

Hang on two seconds. I'll be right back. It was one of those situations where you sort of, I got in there and I was like, I'm just going to look at what this could be, you know, rather than what it is. And sometimes that is the wrong thing to do, you know, because a lot of times I'm doing this with other things too with games as well. Like, you know, someone will show me a really early version of the game and they'll tell me like, oh, you've got to look at what this could be in the future.

And I'm like, well, yeah, but it is shit. And I feel like a little bit like that with my house. Like I'm like, yeah, this is, look at what this could be. Do you know what this is? This goes back to your ephasia or whatever it's called, the thing where you can't imagine something in your mind. I can visualize stuff. I can visualize a little bit,

not like full color spinning 3D images. But I think it's hard for you to look at it and see the potential innately. You would have to have someone come and break it down to you in numbers, I think. I think that would help. Or if they literally had a picture of what it could look like, you could fill in the gaps.

Well, I also have this problem of, like order, you know, a lot of the lights are broken, but also the heating, I think, it probably needs to be upgraded in some way, but also all the rooms need redecorating and also all the floors need doing and replaating the carpeting. Everything he's doing, right, which I'm willing to do and find the right people to do it or whatever, but I just don't quite know what the order is. What is most important? Can you walk on the floors? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's, because I've just got to clear, when you say the floors need doing, it's not like are some parts of the house where it's like, don't walk on that bit because it could collapse.

It's literally just these need to be redone because they're in a bad condition. Yeah, some of the carpets are just didn't. So that can all wait. That can all wait. The things you need, imagine what you need. Can you heat the house? Can you cook in the house? Yeah.

Yeah. You know, and can you see where you're going? So you want the plumbing, the electrics, all that, all those basics, double glazing, heating, that all needs to be done. The cosmetic shit can wait. Or, because here's the other thing, whatever work needs to be done, there's no point putting a loving new carpet only to discover we're going to have to take this bit of ceiling out, now there's shit all over your brand new carpet.

Like, just get all the really annoying work where they're going to have to dig in and pull this out, get all that done now, and then do all the cosmetic shit later. I need a real expert, but I guess it's very difficult to find the right people. There's like groups of, there's obviously companies. It's not all just single solo contractors. There are companies of people who do this, you know, but like finding, but even they work often with individuals, you know. Just finding trustworthy people, really, and who are not going to be booked up, booked up

months ahead. It is hard. So I use checker trade. Sometimes checker trade is like quite a useful website. I'm not saying it's 100%. But you can see reviews on there, photos of the work they've done on there. And you can sort by area and by specific. you got that like kids to come around.

No, that was something else. I can't know what that was called. I would not use that again because he was definitely not up to spec. That was funny. Yeah, so I'm just, I'm stressed about it, but I'm also taking it slowly. So it's just, it's a journey. It's replaced my gaming as well, like this just admin, constant stress. It's a lot of shit.

Yeah. I lost my keys. I don't know where they've gone I think I lost them on the way back They're probably at the manor But I've run them up And they didn't have them Which is annoying

I had to like break in When I got back Which is not great So I need to get that fixed It's weird to have to break into your own house I haven't had to do that I remember I did that once when I was a kid You know we would occasionally get locked out

The family wouldn't I have to like Shimmie in through an open window As well We had like a great garage window. I had to shimmy in through it and then because I knew that like the garage door into the house was always unlocked. And that's how I got in. Otherwise, I would have been locked out forever. Sorry, my window cleaner. I had to close all my windows. Oh, okay. Well, good. Don't anyone shimmy in. You're trying to keep him out. Yeah, I didn't want him shimmying in. No, well, I also don't

want all of that water in my house. So yeah, I couldn't believe them. I read an article today that said that chimpanzees are really into crystals. Right. Like what kind of crystal we're talking about here? So if you give a chimp a crystal, she might not give it back. Right. Researchers learned this the hard way. They gave quartz, calcite, and other crystals to chimpanzees in a rehabilitation center.

The H responded with great interest, and the researchers ended up needing to trade large amounts of bananas and yogurt to get back the largest crystal, while others were never retrieved. So they just fucking love crystals. They love them. It's good to know. If you got a bag of crystals on you and you're ever attacked in the wild by chimpanzees, you know what to do. Exactly. You just have to...

They sort of treat it like religious artifacts. They fucking love them. Yeah. I guess they're kind of... They're kind of beautiful, though, crystals, aren't they? Yeah, I guess. I mean, these are unpolished. They're like big lumps.

It looks like a big sort of lump of frosted glass. Yeah. They fucking love them. I've got some news here from... Lose news. Lose news. Whew! That's fine.

Is one of them that chimpanzees are really into crystals? Yeah, and they only take bribes to get the crystals back. Bananas in yoga. Jason Statham has... Is that one of them? You know him. He was in the movies, right? I know him.

He's in his movies. I'm Jason Statham and I've got a tiny penis. He's a huge fan. Don't you've been mugging me off. He's playing himself in the upcoming movie. Jason Statham stopped. my bike. Right.

There's a movie called Jason Statham stole my bike and Jason Statham is going to be playing himself in it. It's got an $80 million budget. Right. Good God. It's got apparently a huge international box office appeal and it's going to be like a comedy action. Yes.

So I guess it would have to be. It's not good. It doesn't seem to be setting itself up as a very serious action movie based on the title. The director of it is going to be. going to be David Leach, who was, who directed Deadpool 2, and The Fall Guy. Oh, no. It's got Remy fucking Malik in it. Oh, lovely Remy Malik.

Well, that's on the list of not going to watch. You've got to watch Stacey's Stapha. No, I will not watch it. It's got Remy Malikin. It's not getting watched. We'll watch it together. Obama, good old Obama, said aliens were real. Do you remember this happened?

It was a big deal. It blew up because he was asking these rapid-fire questions. He had to answer them quick. It's one of these sort of gotchery things, and it blew up because he said aliens were real. And then very quickly kind of said, well, they've kind of pivoted into they must be real, but I don't actually have any evidence that they're real. But obviously, Air 51 isn't. And he sort of had to back a few statements because of all the lunatics out there who were convinced

that aliens are real. But he's lying, obviously, because they're covering up a government conspiracy. Yeah, well, I mean, come on. I think his whole point was, yeah, aliens are real, as in the universe is vast. But in terms of in this galaxy and the fact that they visited us,

I'm saying zero probability, none. No, not unlikely. No chance. Well, how do you explain all those anal probes that I've received, then? That would be the membership that you have to that manna. Anal probing society. You were invited to a manna by a mysterious Bristol resident who urged you to shave your head

and come on down for some quote unquote gaming. Probed you. My ass has never been the same since. Oh man, that was a banging weekend. So. In more ways than one, my friend. McDonald's have announced a trading card game. Right.

Fuck off. Did you guys see the video of the CEO of McDonald's trying to eat? a McDonald's hamburger? Yep, sure did. This is a great product. I promise. What a great product.

I promise. That's like me eating any vegetable. It's the way he went like, num, m m m m m m. That's how he ate it. He didn't actually go like, like the Burger King guy did one way.

He just grabs a burger, takes a huge bite out of it and goes, hmm. And this guy was like, this is a burger. I'm just thinking how to attack it. And then he goes, m m m m m m it's like a tiny corner. And then he's like, oh, I'll eat this for my lunch off camera.

A hundred percent. Ooh, great product. Yes. Fuck it out. It was so corporate, wasn't it? Why do they do these videos? The Disney CEO did one as well, but all these CEOs is such a big ego. They think, I'm the CEO of McDonald's.

Everyone knows who I am. I'm obviously going to be good at this. Put me on camera. I'll sell our product. I'll show you how it's done. Yeah. And it never works. CEOs never stop doing this, please.

Never stop doing this because it's so much more entertaining than anything you could possibly imagine of, watching you flound around trying to do something fundamental like to eat a burger. It's just stop. Just stop. Yeah. They can't. They really want you to like them.

I think that they think because they're so well known within the company. Everyone's like, morning, sir, how's it going, sir? Mr. CEO said that they're like, of course everybody loves me. But they've never left that bubble of the office. They're so they don't honestly understand that nobody knows who the fuck they are. Is just the least appetizing thing you've ever said about a food. Wait, that's not how you order food? Excuse me, good man.

I would like three of the product, please. Three hot meat products. Do you have any of these burgers in pill form so that I can digest them in my anus? I will take these back to my manner with my 16. bald friends and we will probe Sips for the weekend. Oh no, that sounds horrible. There is a team from York University filming us. But no one will believe their footage.

Oh no, Obama has revealed us. We live among you. So yeah, the fucking Ronald McDonald's trading cards are a thing. It's set to launch in the UK March 7th. It's not like the Pokemon tie-in or whatever. This is a TCG that McDonald's are putting out, I guess, to try and avoid having to pay Pokemon for the royalties. And, you know, everyone loves a trading card game.

They've got a lot of weird characters they've made up. For example, the cheeseburger, a sentient chair called the Cheeseburger chair. The hamburger. And there's a character called Fry Girl, who is like a ball of fries. with eyes and he is. They've got a grimace card. I'm sold. Grimmis.

You got Bernie, Grimmis, the hamburger, Ronalds, the multi-mixer. The multi-mixer. There's no other McDonald's. There's no other McDonald's. There's no other McDonald's characters. I want to see the cards. I sent you a link to it in the chat so you can see some of them.

But they are real dumb. I think they're actually kind of, um, kind of, this is fucking great. It's kind of slightly self-aware, actually, in that it's kind of. kind of slightly shit and silly. And I, you know, obviously, you know, if sometimes these old McDonald's collectibles they give away are actually worth money now, a lot of them aren't, though. I'm holding on to these.

I'm holding on to these. Cheeseburger chair. I mean, that's amazing. Look at this. I love these. Fuck, I have to eat a lot of McDonald's. Just nibble at it. Just nibble at your burger.

Save the restaurant. Oh, great product. Can I get a CEO card? Can I get that? That's great. We're wearing his fucking sweater vest and his like pastel colored slacks. Why do they all look the fucking same? Why do they all look like Stewart from Mad TV CEOs?

They always look weird. They always have like a weird makeup on. It's the same thing as the magicians. You know? Yeah. Yeah. They've got a look. Their theory is that if I am as blind and neutral as possible, I will, I won't, nobody

will comment on what I'm wearing. Like, they just want to disappear into the background when it comes to fashion. I honestly think for these guys, the whole, I mean, think about when you see these corporate types, they all want to just wear a suit. And it's like uniformity. We're all on the same team. There's no individuality here. It's all just the company, the company, the company.

But then when they step out of work, they realize that they have lost any sense of individuality to the point where they can't even dress without looking like a guy in a catalog. Yeah. That's it. Yeah, that's true. Man. Next.

Next. That is all he's got. Well, God. That's all he's got. Well, God. I am excited about the McDonald's cards, though. Well, let us know how that goes. I will.

Keep a journey diary on you at all times. When did they come out? Next week. Yes. Oh, my God. It's going to be so hot off the press. It's a UK-only promotion. This is huge.

Finally, we've got something of our own. The one thing I did want to talk about was when the Olympics was going on. Do you remember the penis? Yes, the flap. Yeah, they were doing, they were injecting their penises. to allow for more room in their suit to build more air up in their suit, right? Is this what you're talking about? Yeah, when they were measured for the suit, it has to be skin tight.

Yeah. And it turns out having a flappy bit around the crotch acted like a sail and kept you in the air. Five meters longer, I think they were saying. So they were injecting their penises to make them bigger so that when they were measured, they'd have a bigger suit. And that was an advantage to them. And then their penis would return a normal size. crucially, so that the suit could have more room to fill with air, which made you

float better. Like, think Princess Peach, her floating move in the sky. Exactly, but also Sips, I want to take, you as a Canadian, I would love your take on this. What's with your fucking curling team, mate? What's with that lad? They're not mine. I didn't babysit them or anything. I don't know them.

I'm just curious, what is the tape? What are Canadian saying about us? I don't know. I don't live in Canada. Yeah, but you don't keep up with anyone. from Canada? You just completely Well, I do, but nobody even talked

I mean, even when we're winning at curling, nobody really talks about curling. This is the worst thing to have them to Canada, apart from when they had that Mait and stuff. They make it seem like, oh shit, everybody loves curling in Canada. I don't know a single person

who likes curling. No, but this has destroyed Canada's reputation on the world stage. Has it? This was, yeah, they were cheating. Everyone had Canada down. It was like, is it the one where the guy told them to fuck off?

Yeah, fuck off. Fuck off, eh? Because the Swedes had set up a camera to capture some cheating. And he was like, Well, that's not fair. You're not meant to catch us cheating. When we're on the tour, nobody does this kind of shit, hey?

And it's like, well, hold on, bud, you were cheating. Right. That's why they turned on the camera. And they literally caught you. Yeah. They were double touching the stone. Now I absolutely don't want anything to do with this story. Yeah.

As it passes the line, he was like going, boop and fingering it to give it a little extra nudge. Right. Not meant to do that. And he was like angry at being caught. But he hasn't backed down. He keeps going and going and escalating. It's getting worse and worse and worse.

Man, you know, stuff like this happens and you just think, yeah, maybe Trump's been right all along. Maybe they should just be the first state, you know? Yeah, they definitely improve onto him. Yeah, yeah. Maybe this is, you know, maybe this just proves it. Like, it's a disgraceful country. They can't be trusted. Curling was the one thing they had going for them and they failed at that.

It turned into a bunch of cheats and liars and we're going to invade. They're going to take away their stones and they'll never do. double touch again. That's what I do. The only one who can double touches me. Yeah, no, I didn't realize I'd heard the story about the fuck off, but I didn't realize that it was Canada cheating.

Oh, yes. They've been cheating. God, that is. No touching. I do the touching. Little kids, that's what I touch. That's horrible. That's stones.

I touch children. Just a reminder. Just a reminder. Case you forgot. Good stuff. All right. That's it. That's all we got. I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope you'll tune in for yet another one next week.

Maybe. We release another one. We don't know. And the week after that. We don't know. And the week after that's been going for 10 years and we're going to keep going. We're going to keep going beyond even nobody listening anymore. It'll just be us talking.

What happens if one of us dies? Well, then we'll have a couple of special podcasts. We talk about how much we missed that person and then I guess we'd bring in a third party. Yeah, that's true. Okay, thank you. Is that, okay, cool. No, I'm down for that. Which one of us is going to go first, though?

Probably, maybe, let's be honest. Well, not if I fall off the fucking roof, it's not. I don't know. I had another MRI recently because they think that my prostate is just like... Sipsis prostate's being... You should, we get probed by aliens, you get probed by doctors? Well, they're threatening to do another biopsy, which means blood in my pee and in my...

Oh, God, Sips. Like once again. Jesus. Yeah. Well, we'll see you in May. In May. And they want to do another blood test in May. And if my PSA is still high, then it's the, it's the staple gun in my ass again.

Oh, my God. That sounds lovely. That's what you want. That's awful, isn't it? God. Oh, God. I need a staple gun as well, actually. Right.

On that cheerful note, stay frosty. Go fuck yourselves. And I love you. I love you. I love you. Bye. Thank you, bye. Bye.
