Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

I think it's a very good thing to do I like to call our show today the BCC Oh yeah Brie, Clint and Claudia Oh yeah yeah Or Big Clitty Club

The Big Clitty Club The Big Clitty Club I listened to it. The big clitty club. I listened to the start of yesterday's After Party, by the way. Oh, that start was the worst bit. Yeah. What was the start? It started shit. We were like, ooh, what are we going to talk about?

What you said was, oh, podcast is going to be a bit late because the person that uploads it isn't here because they're, and then you just started insulting me and you were like, they're at a musical by themselves. And Brie's like, well, obviously it's not me because I've had sex before. Oh, God, I feel so bad. I'm so embarrassed. Brie's always bragging about the sex that she's having. Oh, no.

You guys rubbing that sex in our face. Guys, I've had sex at least three times in my life. But no hard feelings. Once with myself. Only once. Only once. I gay twice. A week.

Yeah, well, you're back now and Ella's not here. So coincidence? I think not. Yeah. And we are very lucky to have you rumours are you two can't be in the same room together at the moment there is an issue of a restraining order but

no I meant like work tension like you guys have yeah we've fallen out yeah you've got your beefing yeah we got beef yeah what was it over you reckon do you pick on her yeah I heard it was about um you felt like she wasn't respecting your authority

and you thought she was overstepping the mark. Yeah, it's because I'm the boss and I need respect in this room. You're just subservient. This actually sounds serious now. When I open my mouth, people need to listen, okay? Yeah. And she was not listening. I don't talk because I like the sound of my own voice.

That's what my mum used to say. Didn't carry over to you. Could have fooled me, mum. I was like, mum, I do talk because I do like the sound of my own voice. That was good from you, Claude. That was quick from you. Clint's like, well, that makes one of us then. That makes one of us, mother.

Yeah, anyway, we're here, okay? We are here. And Ella will be back. We're here. We're queer. Get used to it. Speaking of, there's this content creator that I really like. You know him, Louis, who does the TikToks about his family.

Louis Davis. Louis Davis. And he made a video where he talked about the fact that it's his belief that you should use all of your sick days. You should always use all of your sick days because you're not going to get them back. True. Isn't it that he doesn't have a job? Yep.

Yeah, yeah. But he was talking about when he did have a job. He isn't at a job. He wasn't at a job. He didn't have a job. He hasn't had a job for a while. He said he never used them. Yeah.

And now looking back, he's like, why didn't I do that? Why didn't I use my sick days? I also saw another TikTok video that said, never waste your sick days being sick. That's a great point. Be sick at work. Get paid to be sick. And then use your sick days for fun.

Can I make a confession? Yeah. Something that I forgot about and never told you guys have you done that before have you um earlier this year um i called in sick on i believe a friday yeah and i went to a festival fuck yeah i'm all for it and i didn't tell you guys and ella called me because she had a work question And I was like In the middle of a festival

And I know the background Was like What festival do you remember? It was Splore Did you go to Splore? I did I went to Splore Hey I'm all for it

And she was like Hey how are you feeling Are you okay And I'm trying to like Muffle the thing To be like Don't listen to the beat In the background

But I'm like Oh you know It's not music It's a heart rate monitor I feel like I do remember that I forgot about that Until a week or two ago And then I was like

Oh my god I actually did that That's so naughty of me I rate it I rate it I don't think so If you don't do it All the time

Then who cares Sometimes you don't Become unreliable It's about spacing Your sick days out It's yeah It's a difference of Yeah becoming unreliable I don't mind Lying to the company But I lie to youable. It's about spacing your sick days out. Yeah, it's a difference of becoming unreliable.

I don't mind lying to the company, but I lie to you guys. Yeah, you could have told us. I know, I could have. We would have kept the secret. Because it all swings and roundabouts. It all comes back around. I was so terrified. I was like, I love that.

I think that might be my favorite story you've ever told. I thought you were going to say that funeral you were at last week. Oh, no, that one, unfortunately, was real. Yeah, no, that'd be a bit rough. It was in the morning, though. I probably didn't need the afternoon off, but I was like, excuse. Nah. Nah, you take it.

You take funeral days. You take it, yeah. Because those sit outside your sick days and your holiday days. Those are bereavement days. Bereavement leave. How many do you get? Not a lot. I think it's two.

I think it might be two, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Per year? And then there's alternative leave. How many do you get? Not a lot. I think it's two. I think it might be two, yeah. Per year? And then there's alternative leave. And you're allowed to use your bereavement leave for whatever you want. You can use it for a cat or a dog. Yeah, so you should in my opinion. Like if you, Clint

doesn't think so, but I No, I didn't say that. The look on your face said that. No, I was thinking. I was thinking. Do you think someone should take some days off if they lose a cat or a dog? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Yeah. I don't believe you.

Why have you changed all of a sudden? No, I do believe that. You've never said that before to me. You've always been like, oh, come on. You've never asked. I feel like I've asked. You and I have argued about this over the years for the last like six, seven years. We've always didn't see eye to eye.

I don't think you should get maternity leave when your dog has puppies, but I think you should be able to use – When have we ever had that conversation? I think you should get to use your bereavement leave for a dog. Yeah, I do. You and I have always argued about this, but I'm glad you've finally come around to the good side. I'm trying to agree with you.

You're trying to argue with me. Oh, I'm just saying but I'm glad you finally come around to the good side. I'm trying to agree with you. You're trying to argue with me. Oh, I'm just saying I'm finally glad you've come around. What about fucking Claudia? She took a day off and said she was sick to go to a festival. I also could have been sick at the festival. Yeah, true. You were sick. That's true.

I just think if you've had an animal in your life, like for let's say 15 years. I agree. I agree. But have you disagreed with me in the past um you have haven't i don't think on this detail specifically no i don't think so maybe i feel like you have but then you know maybe it was the thing we've argued on where i used to say that i think it's fine when people call their dogs their kids. If they aren't going to have kids. Oh, no, I'm fine with you calling your dog a kid too.

What the hell is happening? Ever since he's got a dog, his tune has changed. Hey, and I'm glad. I'm glad about it. Yeah. What is it then? I swear that was it. I don't agree with people giving animals

The same status as children in their life Like it's not the same It's not the same But that's different For some people it is the same And I think maybe this is Maybe that's Yeah

I believe for some people Yeah Especially the ones that Aren't able to have kids for whatever reason. Totally. And I'm not trying to diminish that. I'm not. It's the same.

But that's what I think. Maybe that's what it was. It will be something in there. Something like that. Anyway, I feel like all your thoughts and feelings are about to change because you've now got a dog. And I always felt like you weren't completely, what's the word, equipped to comment because you never owned a dog. Yeah, that's fair.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But you wait. You're going to love that dog just as much as you love your kids. But I'm not trying i'm not trying to continue the argument on but by the same argument you're not equipped because you don't have children yeah so but i know how much i love my dog and if my dog could be my child and if i so i've had animals though i've had animals and i've had children yeah and it's it's just fundamentally different but I still won't

agree with you that for some people that is their kids you know and I agree on that yeah I agree on that yeah yeah and and for a lot of people by choice or by necessity it is because you've got because you've got to share your love with something and someone yeah that that animals will fill that space in your life. I absolutely agree with that. Oh, you see what happens when you get a dog? Fuck, why are we going down this dark route? But the death of a child can destroy a person permanently.

A death of an animal cannot do that. I think it almost always will destroy a person. I'm traumatised by the death of a child. That's where the difference is. You will ultimately absolutely get over the death of a dog. I don't think so. Not for some people. Right.

Okay. Well, I've never had a dog. I've only put my cats down. Thanks for bringing it up. Should we go home? I've got to see my cats, dogs, and children, and wife. In that order. That's how he rates them now.

Yeah, yeah. That's the hierarchy. Yeah. Thanks for joining us. See you tomorrow. Thank you, guys. Bye. Bye.

Bye. I like the way you do that right there. Make your lips when you're talking, that make me stir.
