Pacific Standard PST. PTSD. PTSD time. Daylight savings. So 2 a.m., 1 a.m., Sunday, the clocks go back. So this is the one that's both of them are double-sided. Yes. Because you get one more hour's sleep.

Tick Great Fantastic Shoulder But you're heading into winter So you lose your sun in the evenings And it starts getting dark Which I don't mind anyway Because I kind of like to get dark as soon as I can

No, because I love like a little sit out Sit out on the deck with a wine And then she's like I couldn't get to bed till like 11 o'clock Yeah I love daylight savings. And then the other one, we have to get up an hour earlier, but it's heading into summer. So, you know, they're both double edged swords.

I was just thinking, I don't think, because I'm one of those monsters that leaves my, and it's weird. I don't know how I do this, but I leave my microwave and my stove just on zero or whatever. So do I, because I switch them off at the wall all the time. And then you have to re, And then they're too hard. But I don't think I've got a single thing in my house, apart from one clock, that I have to manually change. Because everything... Does it on its own. The watch, the phone, the computer.

Yeah, TV, everything. Do you have a clock? Yeah, an old clock. Oh, God, that would drive me insane. It's like Chinese water torture, ticking clocks. Can't do it. Oh, no, you can't hear it. It's this in the kitchen. It's a insane. It's like Chinese water torture, ticking clocks. Can't do it. Oh, no, you can't hear it. It's this in the kitchen.

It's a Rolex. Oh, okay. It's a Rolex. It makes no noise. It's a Roolex. No, they make a big noise. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think it's a Rolex with a CK at the end.

Now, is this the one where you check your smoke alarm? Yes. You check them every time. Every time the clocks change, you check your smoke alarms. Mine get checked every time I make a steak. Oh, my God. I'm just trying to get a bit of char going here. Good to know.

It's so surprising the amount of people that put up with that battery low beep from smoke alarms. It was like, boop. God, it does my head in. We've got new smoke alarms, the ones that last 10 years. Oh, yeah, I've got those too. They're pretty good. The tiny little ones. The little wee ones. Yeah, those are good. Yeah.

Bit more expensive, but then it's they look nicer. You're going to say must be nice. They're smaller and they last way longer. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what I'd be really, and speaking of things in your house that run on batteries, that there's cheap versions of and nicer things of. Dildos. I would, I'm interested

that you went there immediately. Dilly willies. I went there too. I was about to say it. I'm a satisfied pro. I've just got a new one. Is that USBs? Satisfiers? Yeah, USBs.

Chargeable. What do you think? Fresh batteries every time. I thought it was a nine volt. Jesus Christ. Can you imagine landfills? I thought it was a dolphin torch nine volt. Oh, a big, big one.

No, what are those? What are the spring doingers? 12 volters. The big spring ones. It's got a big handle on it. Yeah, yeah. Like a big, big one. No, what are those? With the spring doingers. 12-volters. The big spring ones. It's got a big handle on it. Yeah, yeah. Like a big gym. Do you remember that torch in the 90s called a big gym?

Yes, the red one. And the battery was literally a large part of the body. It was literally a handle with a bulb on it, and you screwed the battery on, and it became like the body of the torch. Yeah. I wasn't, no, I wasn't referring to Energizer. Energizer. They missed the trick, not releasing a vibrator called the torch. Yeah. I wasn't, no, I wasn't referring to Energizer. Energizer.

They have missed the trick not releasing a vibrator called the Energizer buddy. They really have, although it's probably not their family brand, is it?

Yeah. Doesn't matter though? You can have an after dark. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Well, they've got head torches, don't they?

Not the masturbation should be saved for the dark hours. No, do it any time. Any time you want. That's an old trick. No, maybe not. Not any time you want. That's an old trope. No, maybe not. Not any time you want.

Like you're on a bus or you're in public. On a bus. Definitely not on a bus. Definitely not. No. What was I going to talk about? Fly spray squirters. Yes.

Do you have one of those? Yes. One of those ones every nine minutes. Yep. It gives me a fright every time. Why? There must be a better brand one. They're always so cheap.

And the plastic, after a summer's worth of going, psst, every nine minutes, you just need to buy brand new ones. Yeah. Really? It sucks and it feels wasteful because there's just this cheap shit plastic. And they're not like white.

They're like off-white. They don't go with anything. Yeah, there must be a... Someone should do a nice black matte, a matte black one. Oh. Or like a slinky-wee thing. Or just like one that's made of slightly more durable material

than flimsy plastic because all of ours now, we've had them for a couple of summers and the thing that comes down to push the can. Yeah. It's the framing that holds that is just cheap plastic and it means that it doesn't get a full squirt on the. Yeah, it's not going to get a full squirt. Could you just jimmy it up in your ceiling

and just have a hole in the ceiling and it squirts out there? Maybe I could install one when we're redoing our roof as little down whips. Yeah, that'd be good. And just have them automatically in there. And have a giant gas canister in the ceiling or out the back. Yeah, just releasing tiny bits at a time. I, every now

and then, will walk up to our in the ceiling heating unit, the intake from the hallway, and just hold a can of spray in that. And it distributes it to all the bedrooms. Yeah, into the ducting. I don't know if that's something you should be doing. And it distributes it to all the bedrooms.

And if there's any speeders living in the thing, I assume they'll be dead by the end of it too. Yeah. But pshh. You've got to be careful though, because we live a bit bushy, and we get lots of bees Coming in our house Because it's bright green

Well you've got half of them Living in your fucking walls No those are wasps They can die They can die in hell Die in rotten hell Yeah but the bees Sometimes I'll see a bee in

And I know that the thing's About like Like about to get them And I'm like Get out of the house What are dragonflies lately? Dragonflies rule. I am a huge fan.

Do they hang out by your pool? Because you know how they always hover over pool water like that? No, I don't think so. They come inside. They're too erratic for me. Can you take the cover off the pool? I wouldn't mind a swim. And they're giant for their ratio of wing to body.

So rad. Big fat heads. They look like animal helicopters. I'll always usher them out because I don't want them getting sprayed by the spray. Is there any insect you guys don't like? Obviously, I know mine and we don't need to talk about it. Nope. But do you guys have an insect?

Because of my strong dislike for the M-O-T-H, I'm kind of fine with other insects. Wetters. Because do you remember I had the wetter in my umbrella and it ended up smelling like a cheeseburger. It died and it smelled like a cheeseball. It smelled cheesy. Yeah. Beautiful though.

Just getting a fright by an insect. I'm always like, ah! But then I don't mind them. What about a cicada like going psycho? You know when they get like stuck in something like a bag? Oh, no, they don't freak me out or anything. I'm just like, they're annoying because you try to catch them and you're like, I'm trying to help you.

I scream this at insects a lot. I am trying to help you. I scream this at insects a lot. I am trying to help you. Like bumblebees, you open the window and you're trying to push them out and they're like, no, I want to go up here.

You're like, you fucking idiot, go out. I'm trying to help you. Learn English, you stupid insect. Stupid bumblebee. I am trying to help you.

Go out, follow the airflow. Dumb dumbs, eh? Or you're going to die. And then sometimes you leave and you're like, well, I've eh or you're gonna die and then sometimes you leave and you're like well i've tried you're on your own now they've got no chance in your house you've gassed the whole air ducting system yeah you've literally ducted them to death i come from a long
