But she says the I pick out the instruments that no one else would like pick. You know, I'll pick out the drums and it's like, no, no, no.

No. Come on. So excited. Sorry. Excited. Oh. Thank you, baby shambles as well. Shambles. My. Absolutely. Well, it's some of the footage I've seen.

00:01:38:19 – 00:02:04:01
This fucking mental, went off in there. Yeah, it did for my profile went off and. Oh, like, as a near 43 year old man. And I was like, right, lads, we're we're 43. We can stand back. We can have a perfect view. We don't need to get involved in the beer throwing and jumping around and feel like we're going to die.

00:02:04:07 – 00:02:25:13
That will leave that to the kids. Yeah. As soon as we get in there, plow straight to the front. And amongst that fucking mental. Did you see the psychos crowd surfing? Seemed like forever. They just couldn't get him down. Yeah, but eventually the security managed to pinch him. But he was up there for about a. I mean, he kept look like he turned round.

00:02:25:13 – 00:02:51:10
Gonna let me down. No. Let's let me know. Classmate it looked like it reminded me of being young, whereas. What? Yeah. Yeah, completely. We went to, 60s cricket, our friend at least. So. Yeah. So sort this out and, plied us with lots of beaver. All guys. Did you, did you have a garden in the, in the nets to get in the nets?

00:02:51:10 – 00:03:16:15
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my. I'm fucking horrendous. I mean, I'm utterly horrendous. And it doesn't help when you. You're pissed up as well. But. Yeah. And then obviously Nick's, like, plying us with loads of booze. And then we get to Babyshambles and I'm, like, looking at my mates. I'm like, I could easily go home now. I am so drunk, I don't know what's going on.

00:03:16:15 – 00:03:34:06
Know what I'm doing. That's brilliant. And they're exactly the same. And we just have a little, we have to have a little kebab before we went in to try and get some food, you know, was trying to do something to stop this fucking happening. Yeah, we had a little sit down. So you went in there full of beer and kebab?

00:03:34:08 – 00:03:54:18
Yeah. The cities we go on there, we. As soon as we got in there, we got on the, spirits. So that was decent. Say, we could we could carry on drinking over the next day. Oh. Yeah. Fucking out of that two day, yeah. But fucking. That's what it's all about in it. Yeah. It wasn't that bad.

00:03:54:18 – 00:04:17:05
You know, the hangover, it was. I felt rough, but it was. It was bearable. Was it? If I if was it fuck forever that it went mental for. Yeah, yeah it did. Delivery that went mental. Babyshambles over lips. Babyshambles I lips all day. Yeah. Yeah. I was saying that in a controversial take, I think. Yeah it is.

00:04:17:06 – 00:04:43:22
Yeah. Like more bangers, more bangers, better music. My opinion. But I mean they they similar about you just know you're the genius of the band was last. Yeah. Yeah I don't know. I can't imagine many people Barack over dodgy. Oh they know surely. No no no no chance. But so in the Beatles are you just have you learned enough in Beatles to make this cool?

00:04:43:23 – 00:05:25:07
Do you not to. Would you say what I'm asking? Do you listen to the Beatles? If you listen to them a fair amount? I've listened to the best of the Beatles. Oh, right. So it's the, that it's probably Beatles have them. I. But I've told you about the, my, my mates back home where they can't fathom that I am so not Beatles on my favorite band of all time and will be this is at the kitchen afters and start 3:00 in the morning and everyone's playing different music and stuff like that, and someone's a stick the Beatles on, and then it would just pop into someone's head.

00:05:25:09 – 00:05:42:14
Rick, why don't you tell this group of 20 men that you would rather listen to The Rifles than the Beatles? Yeah, I can, I can get genuinely stand by that. And they're all fucking spitting in my face. That was flying and like, it got me. Yeah, but you ever listen to revolver? You ever listen to this? You ever.

00:05:42:19 – 00:06:05:04
And I'm like, oh, mate, when you get up, get your Spotify up. Let me put these tracks in my I don't fucking care. It's madness. I mean, during my day. Let me do my evening. Rick. Tell this a room of 20 men. Yeah. If, if if you had in front of you. The rifles album is voicing the Great Escape in it.

00:06:05:10 – 00:06:25:20
So yes it is. Yeah, yeah yeah. And I don't know revolver was a good example. You would rather listen to reflects ten times than you would the Beatles ones. 100%. Yeah yeah yeah, 100% all day long. Because the Way is your favorite band that you're influenced by and they're massively influenced by the Beatles sound. They sound a lot like them.

00:06:25:22 – 00:06:49:04
In part, yeah, not all of it. Yeah, you can hear them. You can hear the Beatles in Oasis of of Surprise that you wouldn't have. They've delved in. Fair enough that that reminds me, actually, when I was at your wedding, your your brother's wife. Also, I don't know, someone must have told her about the Beatles thing, but she questioned me about it and then started having a go at me because Oasis.

00:06:49:06 – 00:07:12:02
Oasis chords and the tune to the same as the Beatles. How could I not like the Beatles as much as Oasis? Which one was that? Adams wife. Oh, right. Right. Yeah, yeah, that makes complete sense. Yeah. Fucking getting me. I was like, well, I'm on the dance floor. If I gotta get out. No, you will listen. Amazing.

00:07:12:04 – 00:07:34:00
Yeah. It was. I was just going to ask you because it's like, you know, like Peter is. That was the Golden Libertines. Really? Yeah. There was no gold. You couldn't separate Lennon and McCartney. They were completely different, both in their own right. Genius. Yeah. And George Harrison as well. Ringo. We just didn't. We hit the drums very.

00:07:34:02 – 00:08:06:12
Anyway, I read this horrendous story. Oh, good. All right. This is a I have to warn people that this is upsetting. Deeply upsetting. But it fucking really freaked me out. Right. Okay, good. So, So the headline is who is man from fetish website? That Brit woman hoping for violent death allegedly went to meet, the man from a fetish website who said to be allegedly involved in the death of a woman from Portsmouth has been revealed.

00:08:06:14 – 00:08:31:12
Sonia SLB, 32, flew out to the US last month but failed to board a return flight boater for the term flight from Florida to the 13th of October, just three days after arrival. Described as a vulnerable person with mental health issues. Post shared by loved ones following her disappearance. They said they believe she arranged to meet someone there.

00:08:31:14 – 00:08:51:07
As reported by Fox 35, American law enforcement revealed that SLB had was suicidal and posted on a fetish website saying she was looking for someone to kill her violently. Oh my God. Yeah, that, that body was found in a shallow grave last month.

00:08:51:09 – 00:09:15:22
Sandbar? Yeah. No. Not quite. Sandbar off. Not this cloud. Sandbar we got infatuated with. Sandbar. Yeah, I they, What was that woman? I think I went missing and traveling, and they found a body in bath on the sand. Yeah, I think it's in Japan. Yeah, yeah. And every now and then, randomly, you'll get a text message.

00:09:15:24 – 00:09:35:07
Sam? Sam. Yeah, I think she was. I don't know if she was like, that the guy had tried to put acid on her or burn her body or whatever, and then just covered her in a bath and just filled it with sand and left it. I don't know what in. So that would be on some sort of weirdest murder podcast in a couple of years.

00:09:35:09 – 00:10:00:14
And there'd be a documentary on Netflix about it, and women just flocked to that kind of content. I'd love to know. Yeah, right. My my my my my, stepmom Valerie. She sits there watching the Discovery Channel about murders all day. She loves a murder. Yeah, I think a lot of that stuff. And listen to a podcast of the podcast about women being murdered.

00:10:00:16 – 00:10:20:14
What is it like? What is it? It is a thing like. So when women. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For men like violence. And what is it? If anyone, any of you ladies listening to this podcast, please let us know. I'd love to know what it is about your infatuation with with, that is Murder Seed when you think about it.

00:10:20:16 – 00:10:42:15
Because I have seen before that the demographics for these, murder series on Netflix and stuff like that, that it is, you know, that it is predominantly a lot of females watching it. It's like, well, I don't I don't is it the, the, the mystery behind it and how creepy it is, I don't know. Is it the vulnerable being vulnerable?

00:10:42:15 – 00:11:03:04
Is it like watching things that make you scared because it's like, you know, it's like if I watch a shark attack video, is that what, because I'm scared of that. That's what I'm so interested, I don't know. Yeah. So I'm run the drink. All right. Yeah. Go on then.

00:11:03:06 – 00:11:29:19
The night I see, like Band of Brothers playing Jones High as quiet midnight waves. Surfing through till daylight breaks with them. Hit us different ways. Love the music that we played. With our tongues in cheek. Band as I we like to speak. And yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers. Hello and welcome to anonymous.

00:11:29:20 – 00:11:59:00
Is episode 124. I'm Ricky Heath. I have two best mates. One main topic we answer your life dilemmas and confessions and our feature some day 19 I and everything remains anonymous all way. So sit back, relax and enjoy the podcast. How's it going Flav? It's good day. One of the ashes as we record. Do you know what? Before I stepped on to record this, I was like, let me have a little look.

00:11:59:06 – 00:12:19:22
Let's have a look. Because of the, you know, the WhatsApp group is alive with cricket. Yeah, I just I just look to the result and I was just like, what what what does this even mean? Like, look at this. Right. I'm just going to write it because it's going to be on this now. Right. Okay. Oh for fuck's sake.

00:12:19:22 – 00:12:46:05
Where's it gone now? Oh, this is Ballocks. I don't want England cricket team score. Right, here we go, here we go, here we go. Okay. You are England, right? So this is fucking mental Australia, right? Yeah. 123. Yeah. Slash nine. So I take it that they've been that their team have been of nine have been bowled out. I'm like 123 runs.

00:12:46:05 – 00:13:15:23
Yeah. Correct. Right. And then underneath it says like in brackets 39. Yeah. Okay. And then England you know just it just says 172. But, but there's no slash of how many people have been bowled out or anything. Then in brackets it says 32.5. What is 32.5. That's fucking stupid. It's not it's not. It's the time it it's the the amount of overs and balls that have been bowled in order to attain that score.

00:13:15:23 – 00:13:44:05
So we go on. This shows you actually the difference between England is a about the our approach to the match and the way we play cricket. England. I mean you wouldn't say this from a football team, but England are the most exciting cricket team in the in the world. The way we we have something called baseball. It was like it's like handball but in cricket and funnily enough of it has is from New Zealand and obviously Andrew from Australia.

00:13:44:07 – 00:14:07:24
But it's a way of, it's a way of playing in front for attacking style cricket. Don't just wait. And ironically, if you look at, Australia here, given the fact that Ashbourne passed boys from that region, it took them 39 overs to get to 123 runs. It took us 32 overs to get to 172. So you can, you know from that that we've been much more aggressive with the bat.

00:14:08:01 – 00:14:32:02
So that's all it's it's very simple stuff. The thing is though, it's so how many overs like how many times do you get to, how many overs? All the time. It's like, I don't even know what fucking I voice over. Six falls, six balls, six balls. So. And one you have one one bowler per over, and then you swap the bowler for the next over.

00:14:32:04 – 00:14:57:23
Right? So that, so that that 30.5 would be 32.5 times six. Yeah. So this thing right. Yeah. We're not yet 32 times six plus five five balls. Right. Right. Yeah I see I see. Yeah. Yeah. Right. But going into this of the Australians again, we're going to bash them five nil, five nil. They won. They have us all out for under 70, bearing in mind that would been about 4:00 this morning.

00:14:57:23 – 00:15:16:21
So we're going to sleep maybe a bit later. Yeah I woke up and the first thing I see is TS message and I'm like, I want to find out. I don't want to find out from T on fucking WhatsApp. Anyway, because the school is constantly changing. It's not the end of the world. And so you think 172 is not a great school, but you look so this is the other thing, right?

00:15:16:22 – 00:15:34:22
Sometimes it is a good school and sometimes it isn't a good school, depending on the conditions, the bowling conditions and the pitch. Okay. All right. So this kind of performance in Australia we can be brilliant in the UK. But in Australia it's like playing almost like a different sport because the pitches. Yeah. So the home advantage in test cricket is, is massive.

00:15:34:24 – 00:15:48:07
So for us to go to Australia and even win one test match, that would be great. So this test match again for five days, it's five test matches of five days each. It runs for a total of seven weeks.

00:15:48:09 – 00:16:11:24
So and at the end of it, you could draw. So how many games is there in each test? Each test. So one test is a game and it's five tests. Yeah. Right okay. And we've had one test today. No we've had an innings today. So you have one innings is you bat one in the initial bowl and one innings.

00:16:11:24 – 00:16:30:23
You bat. So there's two innings. Basically you have two innings with the bat into into any sort of bowl. I would really love to say so and so. So why don't you go. So the Australian batting innings is is pretty much done. We've got one more. We got one more wicket off our batting innings was won seven seven today.

00:16:31:00 – 00:16:51:09
It's you've got to watch it with more. It's just it's not simple to understand. Like it's not like like in tennis. Like okay. Right. We can have like I'll smack the ball and then if you miss it, that's a one point C okay. So what is that 15ft. Why are we starting at 15. Guess what. We can start.

00:16:51:09 – 00:17:11:23
What the next one at 30 okay. Right I understand we're going up in 15. What's the next. What's the next go 40. We just fucking now. But we, we I have a look on no go and BBC five live sport. Right when you next in the car. Okay. And listen when the ashes are on, listen to it.

00:17:11:23 – 00:17:34:14
It's like they're talking a different language. Some of the stuff. I don't even understand what they're saying. Honestly. I'll get back and I'm like, if I didn't know anything about cricket, this would be like an alien landing. And joy, no understanding. Anyway, so day one to England 100%. That's good then. So no one's been bowled out. We've been brought up, but Australia of nearly been bowled out and they've got less runs.

00:17:34:14 – 00:18:10:13
They're going to go because they've got no good decent batsman left. So I've just got cylinders now, you know you're no good for the bat. They're telling the bowlers right. Okay. Yeah yeah yeah I've heard that term actually there's a podcast island isn't there. Yeah probably my favorite term is a nightwatchman. So this is if you get to the end, if you get to the end of the day and you lose a wicket and you don't want your, your decent batsman to face a ball in the fading light because different times of day, the ball that moves differently in the air or it's more difficult to see they'll send it out.

00:18:10:13 – 00:18:34:03
Taylor. Not just not score, just to knock it out. Right? Yes. Friday night and then into the start of the next day, where, you know, the ball's a bit more roughed up. A and, that's a lot. And as well, I know people say you might not be into cricket listening to this much like myself. When I went into sixes, I know it's completely different.

00:18:34:03 – 00:18:59:09
I. You think the ball just comes at you and you hit it, right? And in a way, you would be right. The different types of balls was fucking mental, the rhythm. And, like. So I know that I was getting, two, two slow, slow bowlers and I was that. Right. So I know where the third one's going.

00:18:59:09 – 00:19:19:19
I'm just going to fucking wallop it. Then the third one absolutely. Bullet comes straight through both now. And I was like, well, I was waiting for the slow one. You can't mix it up. Do you know that? And then another one, they when when it was bouncing, it was bouncing not really far forward. And my mate was like, Rick, you've got got me.

00:19:19:24 – 00:19:33:15
You've got like that's where it's like you've got to go out to me. I was like, but now that the wicket is, I know where it is, mate, you've got to go out and meet it. So I went out a man, I fucking smacked it. I was like, come on, I know what I'm doing now. Next ball bowled out.

00:19:33:15 – 00:20:00:24
It's fucking insane. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. He's good. Yeah. What we talk about tonight are you got to do it. No no no. Do you know what we're talking about? The internet. We are internet party now, before I wanted to go into this, I thought, you know, I'm going to listen to episode 80 internet, part one. And we we spoke about that.

00:20:00:24 – 00:20:26:07
You were, more of an internet guy, and you allow, a what? But, your, understanding of internet culture was superior to mine. Okay. That we we spoke about the great lady. That was my first big viral video that I've, and, yeah, first pieces were then called into the car was a CD rather than an internet, wasn't it?

00:20:26:07 – 00:20:54:14
Yeah, yeah it was. Yeah. But that was when we first started getting tower computers at home. And then we spoke about that, me downloading my first porn. It's so, de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de. Yeah. That was fantastic. Myspace jolly Roger. What was it like a compilation, compilation of cum shots?

00:20:54:16 – 00:21:17:11
There was no build up. Yeah, it was just one after the other was bang, bang, bang. And, as a 14 year old kid, it was like pretty intense, especially with that music as well. I didn't I was so whack. Did you have speakers on the side of your monitors or did you. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. So did you have any earlier phone plug or was it just like a.

00:21:17:13 – 00:21:46:13
Yeah, yeah, I did have a if I was out of control. Yeah. Man. Everyone just getting done. That's fucking brilliant. Headshot after headshot. Yeah. It was brilliant. Yeah I know, Jody Rogers cookbook and me hotwire in a car when I was younger, being caught by the police and other people buying drugs online. But it wasn't really about, meme culture, internet culture, viral videos, stuff like that.

00:21:46:13 – 00:22:07:08
So that is what we're going to talk about today. It's, you know what? I was infatuated with Rick. Yeah. Chat rooms. I love chat, right when I was okay. When I was in my teens. Yeah. Chatting to both on chat rooms. Yeah. Okay. We covered up well, no we didn't. And it's in, Ronnie. No, no, we can go in there, but we'll do it now if you want.

00:22:07:12 – 00:22:38:10
Oh, what do you want? To remind people? A patron or, there'll be a point where I can. All right. Yeah. Yeah. ESL. Yeah. Yeah. So. Answer. Yeah. Age, sex, location. You know, answer it. Ricky. Right. Sorry. 43 male Milton, KS. Where's Milton Keynes and near London. Buckinghamshire? Yeah, but you live near Buckingham Palace.

00:22:38:10 – 00:23:05:05
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, next to the Queen of the, So the first, my first example. So incident. So I used to go when I was I work, but I'm, I've started this story at four different stages and work my way back. I volunteered when I was 15, leaving school or wanting to get into journalism media. And I worked for a youth media organization called exposure.

00:23:05:07 – 00:23:38:22
Now, we didn't have the internet. The internet wasn't alive. It was alive, but it wasn't in everybody's house. It certainly wasn't in my house. And there's two ways of accessing it. Might not even been there yet, but you'd have to go to the library to use computers or and then eventually internet cafes popped up. Yeah, yeah. But the there was this part of this exposure thing every Wednesday there was like an internet club, which all it was, was a room, a computer suite full of computers that, that connected to the internet.

00:23:38:24 – 00:24:06:14
Yeah. And honestly, Rick, that when I first used it, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. I can type anything. And information will come up on the screen. Yeah, yeah. Try it. So I was like. And it was just. And it was really rudimentary stuff. The basic HTML pages. We started to learn how to code websites like do how HTML, you could change the color by putting in HTML slash HMO or whatever it was.

00:24:06:16 – 00:24:25:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But one of the things they talked to us about was I think it's called IRC chat, and it was essentially a client that you would like, like for WhatsApp, you know, if you use WhatsApp on your computer. Yeah, that's essentially it. Client. Right. They had something similar. And then they had all these rooms that you could click into.

00:24:25:21 – 00:24:42:09
And when you clicked on a room, it would open up a discussion that was happening in that room. So it could be Tottenham Hotspur. And then the loads of people chatting about Spurs. But it live, live. Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. And then you could do one like a lan. So it's people in your local local network. So there's people.

00:24:42:09 – 00:25:04:08
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. In the room of chatting to each other but not to each other. And there was this girl called Adele who I had no idea. I had a bit of a shine for me. Yeah, but she was too scared to say it in real life because, you know, it wasn't the idea, was it? We were in Tottenham, actually.

00:25:04:10 – 00:25:36:10
Except you. Know, different color. So I knew that, okay. And she told me in the room on the internet, on these IRC chats. Yeah. She liked me. We never spoke about it again in real life. Only. Only in the chat room. I didn't really fancy. Yeah. So that was part of the problem, right. Okay. Yeah. But then so let us do that.

00:25:36:10 – 00:26:01:16
And then I was off. I met my first girlfriend in inverted commas. Not my first girlfriend, but kind of the one before the one on Capital One chat room. I can't remember her name. Now. You know this story? No, I I've told you before, but you you probably have. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. What? What the fuck were you doing at.

00:26:01:18 – 00:26:24:14
Look, one radio. It's. Remember, Capital One. I okay? It was like radio one for radio one. And you were just in that chat room. Just. Well, I was just getting on the. Because. Because there wasn't. It weren't like you're using the internet now is intuitive, right? You just know if I wouldn't find something, it's there. Whereas you would do a lot of back.

00:26:24:14 – 00:26:45:10
And then in the early days, search engines weren't really as prevalent as they are now. Like Google wasn't a thing. Yeah, as I understand it certainly wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now. I think you had asked Jeeves and things like that, but you do. You would do a lot of surfing, Ricky. So you would go from link to link rather than.

00:26:45:10 – 00:27:08:13
Yes. And you would explore in that way. Yeah. Yeah. You wouldn't like if you went on Myspace, you'd spend fucking hours on Myspace just clicking people links and listening to music in that. Yeah, yeah, there's much more. It was much more clunky. But yeah. So I ended up anyway, for some reason I click the link and I was on Capital One Radio.

00:27:08:15 – 00:27:33:17
And and they said, join the chat. And I was like, I'll yeah, I'll do that. And I started talking to a girl called Katy. Oh yeah. Yeah, she loved Hanson. Bup bup bup. Do pop scoop it up. Yeah. But do you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So that song was actually quite the get you quite, quite there.

00:27:33:19 – 00:27:58:14
They really listen to look at look it up, look it up. Was this the time, this is the period of your life where you looked like one of the Hanson members say, now you're making the connections. Okay, here we go. Let's fucking go. So, like. I look like the main geezer. Hanson. She's like, no, you don't.

00:27:58:16 – 00:28:15:00
I went, I do, and I did, I did, that's okay. I had long blond hair. I was about the same age and that was it. That's what done. It was about a few weeks later, I was on a train down to Hastings. That got me a, That is a lot of dry humping went on that weekend here.

00:28:15:00 – 00:28:41:00
I can tell you every. So you. How did she know? Like, how did you send your a photo? Like, did you like, did you webcam I an email. Yeah. So my first ever email address. So I, I, you know, I haven't even thought about it in years. I wanted to be a graffiti. I, when I was younger, I yeah.

00:28:41:02 – 00:28:58:05
But I never got, I couldn't draw in the same way. I want to play a music musician. I can't play guitar. I tried and I just, I just look at it. I wanted to be a graffiti artist. And so I came up with the tag Festa. For some reason, Festa. I don't know why. I know what it means.

00:28:58:07 – 00:29:26:16
Festa 97. That's what it was. How did you even, like, think about graffiti artist? Like why not? I used to, I used to kill stencils and guns spraying. No, you did you. Did you read it? Yeah, yeah. That's cool. It did. But in Crouch End. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah, they were rubbish. Oh, sorry about, So it was Festa 97 at Hotmail.com.

00:29:26:16 – 00:29:46:17
So I use that email probably to send their images and stuff. And then we'd speak on the phone quite a lot. And then, you, I'd go down to Hastings, who lived in battle. Right. Okay. At that pick up from the train station. Yeah. Well, about what? About what Hastings happened, and. Yeah, we we, we went to was Blair Witch Project.

00:29:46:19 – 00:30:08:23
Okay, this story keeps getting better, and we come home, and I was terrified, and, Yeah, like I say, a lot of, a dry humping and, she said she had a guardian angel, which was like a seven foot Indian man. What did she mean by that? She believed in, like, magic and all that shit. Right.

00:30:08:23 – 00:30:27:10
Okay. Let's. You reckon she had a guardian angel like, looking over her? Yeah, I've searched for her, actually, on the internet. Just a curious to see what she is. But I can never find anything. What lot? So you remember the first name and surname? Yeah. She must be family. I think I do, I think I do. She was.

00:30:27:10 – 00:30:52:07
She was a nice girl. It was just like, obviously it was never going to work. Yeah. How old were you? 16. Maybe. Right. Okay. I mean yeah 16 I, I still for me like 16 years old, getting on a train and going to Hastings to meet someone I never met. And we'd only conversed via email and lived. Do you know what I see in live chats like MSN and stuff like that?

00:30:52:09 – 00:31:13:03
When you were chatting to people? Yeah, it you. It wasn't just like an, an email being sent back and forth. You could get a pretty good connection with someone because it is that live chatting isn't it? Yeah. Not WhatsApp or whatever. Whatever you're talking about, it's pretty much in love within about three hours of, so it's.

00:31:13:05 – 00:31:39:21
Yeah. Mate, I swear I, I haven't thought about this in years since you mentioned that, because I was like, it's fucking hanging around in a in a radio chat chit chat room as well. Funny. Then I remembered I used to hang around in, in the Yahoo chat room. This is where, you know, when you came online and I used to play pool online.

00:31:40:02 – 00:32:03:03
Oh, yeah. The. So Rudimental, where you pull the pool cue back for the power and then let it go and then shoot the booze. And I was chatting to some girl in there, and we became, well, pally. And I think we were still really. I could have sworn that she was on my Facebook at some point, but still not, I don't know, maybe she is.

00:32:03:04 – 00:32:27:24
I need to check after this because I need to fucking car out. What are you doing here? She was American, I believe. I was always fascinated with Americans back in those days because it's so far away and so, you know what? What we grew up with, with Baywatch and, you know, blond hair, beautiful women, beautiful people.

00:32:28:01 – 00:32:48:09
And I was always fascinated by America and people. So I'd always want to chat to Americans. And I just couldn't get it. No, not that I couldn't get it in my head, but it's so strange that they're on a different time zone. Yeah, like when you instantly sharing information. Yeah, yeah. And, we should just show willfully. But apart from that.

00:32:48:09 – 00:33:16:18
Oh yeah. Like, obviously the communities of hanging around in a Tottenham forum. Yeah. I don't even know how I got there. I don't know how it got there. Then it was signed up. But I don't know what happen. But I was just you start being a lurker, okay? I mean, reading stuff and it's funny, the I think that message board was the most form, if an influential thing in my life at that time.

00:33:16:20 – 00:33:40:21
It's one of the most important things in my life. Yeah. Like what you don't realize is you find a community of people. And it was a that was quite a niche community. Like, I would say there's probably about 50 active members and almost everyone was a like and if you didn't like it, you wouldn't stay around. The ones that did like it stayed.

00:33:40:21 – 00:34:08:19
Yeah, yeah. And like we have we met there, Rick. And you know, our mutual friend Jack met there. Yeah. Gio. Tim. Dave. All. Charlie. Charlie Charlie was. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. We're all I mean we don't see each other much anymore. PLU ls yeah. You know it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah I mean I went I've been to Amsterdam Gio like.

00:34:08:19 – 00:34:30:09
Yeah. Yeah. We've been out drinking with them. We've been on holiday. We've been abroad with these people like. And we met on a message board and there was a particular time amount and it was a flash point for the internet. Yeah. Where there were these communities that were building up because we were allowed to access this thing, which was the message board that wasn't available before.

00:34:30:10 – 00:34:59:03
I was aware of message boards, but yeah, this is one we've about we joined there for Spurs but stayed for the people. Yeah. And it was it was fantastic. You met like Baba Iman all these people off as I remember them. But these were mates PLU yeah John Lawless how about that. You had an English teacher from Japan, in Japan, who was a big Spurs fan.

00:34:59:03 – 00:35:27:22
And just be amazed. Japan teach English, history. Anyway, it was it was Scottish Spur. Then there was these are people became really important man people in our lives, isn't it? Willis? Yeah, but is it the Craig and crew? Might be listeners of the reason one people are listening, so we don't know who these people are, but they were like, if you're online, they were like you.

00:35:27:24 – 00:35:49:16
For me, for a long time. They were like my pals. Even though they were on the internet. They were friendly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was it was a strong connection. And when you meet up, it was so exciting. What is it about that kind of, community that is such a pull for people? Because people like the is.

00:35:49:16 – 00:36:18:22
So let me just, fun here. So on communities, there is some mad communities going about right where the fucking have I put that for them. Don't know where it is now. Fantastic. But there's like a lot of people that go into. That people there's a massive community on Reddit of people that right begets right. Right begets. Yeah, they right begets and right begets.

00:36:18:24 – 00:36:47:13
Yeah, yeah. They right begets. So right. Forget no not right. Oh right. Right. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Suddenly there's a whole community on Reddit and they write beget. They just bore out the whole of the middle of the beginning of their day, shagging. It's an anonymous object you can't rape and. So up until the day. Yeah. So they.

00:36:47:15 – 00:37:19:09
Right. Right. Again. So that's their thing. Now there's only so much. Right. And you could probably do. And there's only so much for us talking about Tottenham that you can do. And there's only so much whatever is community that you're in you go there for the writing or for the Tottenham chat. The end up staying for the weird and the wonderful characters and the community that are there now.

00:37:19:11 – 00:37:47:09
Is it because that it's a what's the word I'm looking for? You're just removed from your environment that you're normally in, that you've got your wife, your kids work and stuff like that, and you're in this other community where none of that stuff exists and you can just either be yourself or you can be a bit more silly or whatever it might be.

00:37:47:11 – 00:38:12:06
Or is it that sense of belonging somewhere that wherever you are and whatever you're doing, maybe you don't, but if you don't feel like that, you fit in and these people are quite like minded that you feel like, do you know, they get me, they get my humor, they get my whatever it might be like, what is the big pull of these?

00:38:12:08 – 00:38:39:00
Why do they work? And why are there so many? You know, I mean, it's just well, I think it's the way human beings like to communicate and fit in, belonging to something outside yourself. We're constantly, always seeking to belong to something and make sense of this stuff. And we do that because, you know, being alone and, and isn't sort of conducive to survival in the long run, is it?

00:38:39:05 – 00:39:10:23
So I think what what previously is about belonging to a herd for protection on a very instinctual level is transported to a instinctual need to belong to something above and beyond that. So whatever that is may it be communities. And is that what you're asking? Is that what you're talking about? That's right. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Just that what is it that in us that makes us kind of seek out these communities and where we feel comfortable, where like when we were part of the the Tottenham Forum?

00:39:11:00 – 00:39:41:21
I'm not going to I'm not going to name it just in case this, this parts of it still floating about on the internet somewhere. I've looked for a long while and there isn't this very good. Don't worry, I'm glad. But you. It was. It was a very kind of, cutthroat place. If you, you know, if we step out of line, people said stuff that was a bit like fucking us a bit close to the bone, but it was, you know, your kind of humor, our kind of humor.

00:39:41:23 – 00:40:04:10
And. Yeah, I just kind of, where people seek out this stuff. You don't really mean to seek it out. But then once you find a place where you feel comfortable and that you belong there, you end up staying there like I used to check, like I used to refresh. Like when I go in and see all the friends and none of them, but none of them were orange.

00:40:04:10 – 00:40:22:08
Everything was blue and red. Yeah, I'd be dead. Like, where is everyone? So what are they doing? That was the saddest thing, actually. When that forum started to die and it felt like for a year or two, it was withering away. People weren't posting as often. And then by the end, you might have a post a day.

00:40:22:13 – 00:40:49:11
And it was quite sad, really, to see it. Yeah. Watch something so full of life and so, important. And so it was such a massive part of my life for about 5 or 6 years. That's to see it dwindle. I mean, it was around 2011, bearing in mind we were we were I was on there from 2003 3 to 2000 and, yeah, you joined in 2003 as well, I think.

00:40:49:11 – 00:41:29:22
Did I? Yeah. There about. Yeah. And and it was just. Yeah, it died really. And I, I got accused of killing it because I started to fight in court for them to remember. Yeah. I think that, but but that forum exploded, and it was, it just goes to show that really that board we were on just had its day run its course, and we saw the, the journey from the beginning to the end pretty much, I think, because we were all, young, well, fairly fairly young.

00:41:30:01 – 00:41:52:07
The amount of people spurs fans who would have gone in there just to see like, wonder what they're talking about. Like, Timothy, it's Hubers latest performance. Yeah. And then there's just thread off the thread of surrender stuff that has no relation to football or or Tottenham. Oh, and they're like, what we're doing there. I think it died because we were all fairly young at that time.

00:41:52:07 – 00:42:15:13
And naturally you grow old and you have family and kids like work and but that that formed me, that had a massive impact on how I talked and behaved and felt about things. It really did. It was significant. It's kind of like, remember what you said about, it's like it's socially you understood your place when you went to a pub.

00:42:15:15 – 00:42:37:16
Yeah. That social kind of aspect, like on a forum as well. It, it did teach you like you can't post stuff like that or you can't pull that joke or you can't do that certain thing because that's not kind of the code. Well, you know, I mean, yeah, you would get you would get, there was it didn't take any, there was no free.

00:42:37:18 – 00:42:52:18
What am I trying to say. It there was like in a pub if you overstep the line, some of them. Yeah. Check you. It was like that one there as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. It was, you learned how to sort of not be a knob. And if you are a knob, you wouldn't last very long. No.

00:42:52:20 – 00:43:23:23
Driven out. Yeah. I, when I was doing some, research for this part, I came across because I was looking at memes, and I was like, where do. Where does memes come from? Like, what? Where is it from? And, the word meme was it was coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.

00:43:24:00 – 00:43:54:01
He used it to describe how ideas, behaviors, and cultural trends spread from person to person. Similar to how genes replicate is based on the Greek word may mean mama, meaning something imitated. He showed it to meme to rhyme with Gene. What Dawkins meant a catchphrase, a tune, a fashion trend, a belief, basically any idea that spreads like a virus.

00:43:54:03 – 00:44:19:16
But what I want to show what they look like in that, like 1976. Like I thought it means were part of internet culture. Yeah, I found out what I found, like, well, in Richard Dawkins, I find that, well, what was the first one? Did you say the first meme? Well, he, he just says, it just says that the word meme was coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his book.

00:44:19:18 – 00:44:43:15
In his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene. Yeah. So. And I just thought it was, you know, like, like A's. That's where my mind always like. Or maybe midnight is that someone would have posted something and then somebody said, oh, that's called it a meme. And that's how it's stuck. But from a book in 1976, I just thought that was, interesting.

00:44:43:17 – 00:45:13:03
What is it that people like about memes? Because I, I'm obsessed with them. And it could be that. I mean, like it says here, a catchphrase, a tune, a fashion trend, that belief. Is it because we we love them? Because we see ourselves in it, or because it's just funny? We it's relatable. Like we should. Like we should.

00:45:13:04 – 00:45:34:06
I have to say that I share a lot of, real lives with people and memes and stuff like that. Yeah. Jobs where people don't look at your reels. I was about to say that I get upset when people don't do a thumbs up, a laugh. Don't acknowledge them at all. Isn't that right? Class ones? Yeah. I mean, depends on where you send them, right?

00:45:34:06 – 00:45:54:23
I never check anything like this message inside the app, typically. Okay. No, I wouldn't share them. WhatsApp. I will look them, but the, this, the I am in t is watching. Yeah, I'll send it to someone else, and it's like it does nothing for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's bizarre. And you think of this, and I love this.

00:45:55:01 – 00:46:15:07
There's nothing worse than showing someone. I seen this was seen on the internet. I do it, but, I mean, men, the wife have a similar sense of humor, but on some things, like we just don't marry on at all. Like, she doesn't like Peep Show, for example, which is bizarre to me. She doesn't like anything weird, like Peep Show or she doesn't like Mighty Boosh.

00:46:15:09 – 00:46:36:09
No, I don't either. I know you don't. But but on some things we like, we do anyway, I've stopped showing the stuff because I know she's going to. Is this. There's this awkward bit because at what point do you concede defeat when you go, you're just not going to find it funny and take the phone away. It's like, how long into the video?

00:46:36:14 – 00:47:00:00
And you're like, oh yeah, she's not going to. So that's a bit yeah, yeah it is. And not I often I say mum my Mrs. videos and I'm like oh viewer have you checked Instagram. She's like yeah I checked it today. And I said oh right. You see that realizing it, she's like, yeah, I did. Or did you not like my reaction to it and then find it funny?

00:47:00:02 – 00:47:20:18
It's not. No, no, it was just it's right. How do you not find that funny? It's brilliant. He's fallen off a bike into a lake. Did you, what's your for? Back in the day? The memes, you can remember. Because we didn't even know there were memes. They're just like things that went viral. Early day viral stuff. Yeah, go.

00:47:20:20 – 00:47:49:24
Well, what is that top go. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah. What was it? Ascribe it to me. So it was a lady from East Asia around those parts, and she was in a tub. How do you know she's. And how do you know she was from East Asia? Because her face was pixilated. No, no, no, there are, she said I, maybe.

00:47:49:24 – 00:48:10:04
Actually, I don't know if I just added that bit in, I think. Sorry, I think he's just out of the East Asians. It's a. Yeah, I know you like East Asian. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Okay. And she's on her back, you know, like, if you're doing an air bicycle. Yes yes yes. Yeah yeah yeah. Air bicycle. Yeah, yeah.

00:48:10:06 – 00:48:36:19
And she's doing that but not doing the bicycle but just on like the tops of her shoulders kind of upside down using the bath kind of, edge to prop it back up. And then she, she's shooting diarrhea, shooting diarrhea over her ass, back onto her own face. And, Yeah. Yeah. Tap. Go. Yeah. I'm looking in.

00:48:36:21 – 00:48:39:10
Yeah.

00:48:39:12 – 00:48:56:18
I was going to say, like, anything that we discussed, we'll share it, but we can't. You can't say that, and I can't say I just look it up for yourself. Tuck, go. I'm just on Reddit's know your meme. What is subgoal and why? You should never Google it. You know, the interesting thing about it, right, was why are socks were pulled?

00:48:56:18 – 00:49:22:13
Or like she got dressed to do this and the socks were pulled all the way up. I remember that specifically. Yes. Doesn't like forgetting code, doesn't like shit on her face, but I don't have cold feet. I'm. I'm saying, I'm saying lemon party. Yeah. That is that is a I've used even to this day. I don't even know if it's still a website anymore.

00:49:22:15 – 00:49:51:23
I'll check. Lemon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's party. Oh, they, Yes. Yeah. You still there? C'mon. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. So what's happened? She, take time to open up a terrible website. Oh, no. What was terrible? Now tell me. Describe it. Close it. It look like a virus. Okay. Good. So I've got NordVPN.

00:49:52:00 – 00:50:13:01
Stops it, every time. Like, if something, if a pop up comes up, it looks like a virus. I always I've crossed out of it quickly. It couldn't have done anything. It can't get in the computer. No, no. The amount of times that I'd be talking to different people and I shall wait to see that and I'll be like, oh, I saw it on, this website.

00:50:13:01 – 00:50:38:10
You send it to you. I'm not like lemon pie dot or send it over to them and just wait. Just wait until I got the message back. What the fuck is this? That what you've just sent me to describe to the people what lemon party is? It's free. An elderly gentleman. Yeah. One is East Asian. Oh, really?

00:50:38:12 – 00:51:05:11
Well, once East Asian, it's, Oh, East Asian. What we saying I don't I what's that? South Asian is. Oh, sorry sorry sorry. I'm, I fucking getting mixed up now. You you're freaking me out. East Asian is the, you know, China, Japan. But the thing is, let me say Asia. Everyone thinks that. That's what you're saying anyway.

00:51:05:13 – 00:51:32:02
No. Yeah. No, no. What if I say Asia? If you say I'm a shame. Yeah. You wouldn't say if you were, you wouldn't say if you're describing yourself. I'm from Asia. Yeah. Just say I'm Indian. Yeah, right. But if everyone if you refer to an Asian footballer of the year, you don't think of anything but Korea, Japan or China is not really associated with football.

00:51:32:02 – 00:51:54:22
But it's, you know, I mean, so so yeah. Well Geographic's in you're just confusing it, but I don't think so. If someone says Asian, I think of Indian. I'm telling you, that's how everyone feels. I'm sorry. Let's do a poll. If you say Asian, what are you thinking about? You. So the nations and then. Okay. I'd love to know that.

00:51:54:22 – 00:52:12:01
Actually, it's not, It's definitely when I say to you, you think of Asian, you're thinking about you. Right a second. You're thinking the reason I. I'm thinking of India. I'm not, I'm not. When you say Asian, you know, if I say East Asia, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, but that's only been a thing since the the recent sort of wokeness.

00:52:12:03 – 00:52:31:06
Right. Okay. Yeah. What do you know? What do you know? You know, do you know the other thing? This is a hot potato that I'm not making a comment on. I'm not making a comment. Right. But there is some areas of the world where the word Oriental is deeply offensive. And there are some areas of the world where it isn't.

00:52:31:08 – 00:52:53:23
And there's some people from that area that refer to themselves as Oriental and have no issue of it, but there are white people offended on their behalf. Okay, so you are you would you like to use the word oriental? Is that what you're saying? Do you like the word Oriental? I like the word Orient. Orient express the train.

00:52:53:23 – 00:53:20:01
Yeah, no, not really. But if I accidentally say Oriental, I don't want someone to be offended. But, I said it before, and someone emailed me and said their wife is of East Asian descent. And when they're in America, it's deeply offensive term. Deeply offensive term. So much so I think it's written in law that it's like a, a racist term.

00:53:20:03 – 00:53:40:06
Okay. But a friend of mine whose wife is from Vietnam says she has absolutely no issue with it and in fact uses it herself. But she's in the UK. Yeah, but someone there was a guy. Yeah, like I said, like someone messaged me and said, my wife is from that area and in America it's like a no no.

00:53:40:06 – 00:54:06:09
It's like it's almost like the N-word level. You can't say, oh, fuck, really bad. Yeah. So as I understand it, yeah. Is, Anyway, what was he saying? Lemon party you describe in, the picture. Yeah. So one of the men is from East Asia. Okay. And then there's two whiteys on there. Yeah. And, one where he's getting kissed by the East Asian man, and the other is just sucking him off.

00:54:06:11 – 00:54:31:12

You could have been laughing on Friday with everyone else in the patron. You could have been watching the video of this. You could have been in the discord chat.

01:01:07:14 – 01:01:36:24
Right? But you know, you know, just go and join patron. Anyway, so the topic for next week is pets. Is a dog really a man's best friend? And what the dogs actually give us all cats are all cats, wankers. Your first pet. The pet you said never again. You special memories of pets. The most weird is an interesting pets that you've ever had.

01:01:37:01 – 01:01:55:12
We want to see your pets. Actually, do you know what in the. And this is what inspired this as well. In the discord group, when we're talking about pets, everyone started sharing their pets that they have, all the beautiful dogs that everyone has, the fucking funky names that people give their dogs. When you first tell me about your dog.

01:01:55:17 – 01:02:18:07
And I was like, oh, you got a dog? Yes. That was what we called it, Frank. I immediately started laughing, like calling dogs human names. Terrific stuff to to Ian. Yeah. Ian. That would be. That would be a great a love that would be if I could. Alan. Out of the dog. Right. Names. Okay. If you've got any pet stories.

01:02:18:09 – 01:02:37:24
And you've got photos of your pet, we want to see it. Send it all in to lads. Anon pod at gmail.com. We'll read out your stories. We'll post your photos. Now we're going to go onto. And another thing.

01:02:38:01 – 01:02:43:11
And another thing.

01:02:43:13 – 01:03:00:11
And another thing. Yeah. Christine. Great moment now. Novel thing. And oh. We're also learning everything. Oh, chill. I like.

01:03:00:13 – 01:03:09:01
Have you got the video? Oh, yeah. Sorry. I usually say oh, sorry. Yeah.

01:03:09:03 – 01:03:30:19
I saw I saw you, and then I saw the fucking shit. Yeah, you fucked it up. There we go. Wow. That's my. And another thing is, I live in London and, going down the escalator, first of all, people standing on the left, like, very clear signs. Stand on the right. Everyone else is standing on the right.

01:03:30:21 – 01:03:57:20
Why do you think is special? And then when you get to the bottom, people just stopping at the bottom of the escalator like they're the only people in the world and their actions aren't going to cause a fucking pile up and slow everyone's journey down. And, some old biddy drives me fucking mental. And then similarly, getting off the tube and people pushing on to the tube first I have to figure you all.

01:03:57:20 – 01:04:19:07
It drives me up the fucking wall. And then people not going down into the tube. So by the doors it's jam packed. And then the fucking middle is empty. I think it's just the the consistent factor here. As people say, the world shines out there also, and they don't have to do anything to help other people. So that's mine.

01:04:19:07 – 01:04:44:01
And another thing, cheers is Daniel. I'm with him, mate. I think the general etiquette of people in London is fucking horrendous, and it drives me at all. And part of the reason I don't want to be there anymore is because all this. Yeah. Completely that they there's that that's some great and another things the and for me and another thing is when you get when you're on the cheap right.

01:04:44:01 – 01:05:05:03
And you get down so you get down. The escalator is after you've told everyone to move over to the fucking right, you get down and you get to your platform, and people just stand where the entrance of the platform is. There's an entire fucking platform. Move down. Like, why are you all clustered in that bit where you and, there's a whole fucking length of train move down?

01:05:05:05 – 01:05:32:11
I also love the, How, that gentleman in it cheers. Coins with Daniel and you. Lovely stuff. If you've got an another thing or a dilemma, you know where to send it. Get them in. Now we are going to go into something only you know.

01:05:32:13 – 01:06:04:15
Something, you know. I'm finally off the sniff. Sort of. I know it's weird and gross and I feel awful about it. And now I shouldn't do it. It stresses me out. But then I'll do it again. It's like a tick. I can't control it. I can't stop sniffing other people's clothes. Dirty washing or clean. It's the smell is it's not a sexual thing.

01:06:04:17 – 01:06:27:08
I guess it's the thrill of getting caught or something. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sniffing dirty underwear or anything. Not that it all started when I was at uni. I shared a house with some girls and when I saw a pile of clothes, something deep inside within me told me to pick them up, scrunch them hard into my face and take a really long hard sniff.

01:06:27:10 – 01:06:49:18
I've done it with my mates clothes when they've stayed over. I've even done it with my grandad shirt and jumper for fuck's sake. I'm married now, am I? Sniffing? Days are over when I'm doing the washing, carrying the code to the washing machine. I'll have a quick nuzzle. But other people's clothes are off limits. Is there something wrong with me?

01:06:49:20 – 01:06:58:03
And that is something I need. I know there's a bit,

01:06:58:05 – 01:07:19:02
But it's not a sexual thing. No, I don't, you know, I mean, he he or she. Whoever said that in they may have not disclosed whether it's a sexual thing. It could be a sexual thing. They said it was. It's not a sexual thing. No. They you know, they didn't. Yeah. It didn't sound like that night. Yeah. They said it's not a sexual thing.

01:07:19:02 – 01:07:48:11
It's just that it's not a sexual said the sense of other people. I've just like I've googled it here. Sniffing people's codes is generally a normal human behavior that is inherently sexual, but rather linked to a powerful emotional, psychological, and biological processes. The practice is often about comfort, recognition, or a primal response to scent. So memory and comfort sensor have a hot wired connection to our limbic system, which manages emotions and memory.

01:07:48:11 – 01:08:10:17
Smelling a loved one's clothes can evoke positive feelings of memories, providing comfort, reducing stress, and easing feelings of loneliness. I get that like when I first met Holly, my I would keep her t shirt of hers because we spent a long time apart. Okay. That's that's. Yeah, that's quite a it. And I would, I would often have it in the bed so I could kind of similar before going to bed.

01:08:10:19 – 01:08:41:09
That's nice. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Biological combat compatibility. Humans, like other mammals, use body odor subconsciously to assess genetic compatibility. Largely through a major, major major histocompatibility complex genes. A scent is found appealing may indicate a healthy immune system or genetic diversity beneficial for potential offspring. Right. So what we're saying sniff away, you know, do wrong, not do anything wrong, but don't cross the line.

01:08:41:10 – 01:09:05:14
Thanks. Well, you know, you're not doing anything wrong. People will think you're doing something wrong if they catch you. So yeah, don't get caught. Just look. Don't say it, okay? Right. That's the end of the show today. And next week we are going to be talking about pets. So send in your pet stories to lads. Anon pod at gmail.com.

01:09:05:16 – 01:09:12:04
