00:00:00:23 – 00:00:28:02
I am. It's been difficult in the house this week. Not difficult, but you know what I'm like. I actually, you're a good person to speak to about this. You know. So you have, you have an open house. Kind of, you know, like, Will would normally have his might come around, come every week. Yeah. I really yeah.

00:00:28:02 – 00:00:52:23
Because at one point I remember you saying you didn't like, you felt like he lived you, and it's fine. Yeah. We got, like, a little Polish boy. He comes and he's like, yeah, he's my little part of Sunday. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. He basically lives of us at the weekends and stuff. Yeah. Right. So my daughter, and as you know, I've been not kicked out of my working from home office, but I've moved out of my office.

00:00:53:00 – 00:01:11:17
Yeah, I'm now in the kitchen. My daughter has the spare room, so obviously she wants to not not kind of show off the spare room, but obviously have people around and stuff like that. And so she had two friends round yesterday. And she and it's half term as well. So, you know, you want to keep them entertained.

00:01:11:17 – 00:01:32:02
You want to keep them happy. Yeah. And, so twice this week there has been a sleepover for my youngest. Now, obviously, her friends are like 12 and 13 girls. The in the house, they're in the front room. They're watching TV, giggling, laughing, listening to music. And I just feel like, you know, you want to set yourself a fire.

00:01:32:04 – 00:01:44:02
Yeah, I feel trapped. Like I'm in the kitchen at the moment. Then my missus walks in and like, oh, I see the the washing still wet and the washing machine. Yeah.

00:01:44:04 – 00:02:08:03
I'm working like this isn't like I'm not. And I'm working. I know I'm home, but I'm working. And then I've got that going on. I've got the kids like I'm just stuck. I don't know what to do. How do you. I know you get to go to the office, but how do you kind of manage your, Are you are you kind of quite.

00:02:08:05 – 00:02:38:22
Picky about private time, wanting to lay on the sofa, hands down your pants? Just watching. The brothers? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, so the kids, when they, they stay in their room, like, basically, I just said, like, you know, if you've got mates over, that's fine. Just get out the front room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's what we said.

00:02:38:22 – 00:02:56:00
And then they like. And we're at the tiniest room. But yeah, he's like he was. He's the longest, longest kids. Oh no no I don't I don't know why. Just obviously because he was the smallest gives the youngest kids. So they, they would even do that or they would go out. But it's slightly different, isn't it, because the point is, is.

00:02:56:00 – 00:03:17:09
Yeah, sometimes. But I kind of made it clear that the front room is not yours. The front room is for us. And adults. If I'm not here, fine. But if I am here, I want the front room. Yeah. So I think that was always clear. I made it clear. Okay. So, and also, Rick, it's just enough for you.

00:03:17:09 – 00:03:31:23
If I'm in the room and stuff, it will pass. And this half term, it will pass. But you. So you take the front room, just say, run me up to your room. Tell your mates. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will. I think I should do that, I need to. That's good. That's good advice. Lay down some if you want.

00:03:31:23 – 00:04:01:23
Yeah. If you, if you want your house in it. So they've got it I guess I just get the fuck out. But the, don't I mean, don't use that that language obviously. No, but I think I've got like a bit of a, a reputation, around, if I just know I, I think it's like I've always been quite strict, so I think there's, like, I wouldn't, you know, strict that.

00:04:02:00 – 00:04:22:10
Yeah. I think Will would consider me strict. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, what do you think strict means strict? To me. Yeah, it's just a line. And if you cross it, then that's that's like, like, so strict for me would be if we are ready to go and you are not ready, and you make us wait.

00:04:22:12 – 00:04:46:24
Yeah. That's bad. That's not acceptable. Because, I mean, you don't care about as disrespectful to us because we are ready and you're not once or twice fired five times in a week. Yeah, yeah. I'm not fine at all. Yeah. Okay. Because but yeah. So, so it's that it's that kind of thing like so for example, on New Year's Eve they had a party and two of them just sounded like they were gonna have a fight in my house.

00:04:47:01 – 00:05:16:02
That is. That's wild. Yeah. They were like, they'd been drinking and they kind of 16. And it was a girl and a boy, and I was. I went, what the fuck are you doing? Get the fuck out! Get out of my house! What are you doing? I was in my pants. Wow. My pants. Yeah, well, hang on, I haven't even considering or raising your voice to the point where you're going to have a fight in my house that is not in anyways, so that went round like wildfire, like blah.

00:05:16:03 – 00:05:35:15
Wait a year. I shut the party down and stuff like that. Like, don't be a knob. It wouldn't have to. Yeah. So so my point is, my point is what? Are we meandering all over the place? Eric? Is that the. Yeah. You should be able to feel relaxed in your own home, but you also need to give a little because there's this newfound excitement to which you've already explained.

00:05:35:17 – 00:06:04:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When are they going to make it? Well I've just well, I mean it's it's like at the moment it's 10:20. Are they. They're recording. No I said look it's £20. Fuck off to MacDonalds. Go walk down the road, go and have McDonald's breakfast. Take your time. When you come back. If it's if it's like half 11 still or whatever, you'll have to go to the park, walk round Tesco's, do whatever but do not come back while I'm recording.

00:06:04:19 – 00:06:30:08
This is business time, right? And good. So yeah, so that's good. But but during the week they'll be at school, get a Coke. Can we just need to rewind? Go on. Right. This house party. So. Yeah. Hot eight. Right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So so so there is, an amount of of kids there, right? Yeah. Like how many kids for 15?

00:06:30:10 – 00:06:56:05
Something like 15. Right. Okay. That's a good number. I can work with this number. And you should, you should. I came down so that. So you were upstairs. It's about 12:30. You were. So you'd gone to bed and you would storm down. Yeah. Because the fight was key. And that's understandable. Yeah. The. I was already annoyed that I was already annoyed.

00:06:56:07 – 00:07:20:01
Right. I was pretty much annoyed all night actually. Yeah, I was I was going to bed last night and I could hear the music, the bloody rap music. So you, you came up you to talk about me being in the pants again, then? Yes. That's what you want. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah. So were you just in pants?

00:07:20:02 – 00:07:38:02
Pants. Fantasia. Not pants, but boxers. I've boxer boxer shorts, but. Oh you had a t shirt on. So boxer shorts and t shirt I wouldn't, I don't have the body confidence to go down there about. So, Yeah, I was going to say that is fucking wild to a group of 15 people that are 16, 15, 16 year old pissed up.

00:07:38:04 – 00:07:57:05
Yeah, probably down there. But did you know what it was like? I was it was I was important. I wanted to make it. I don't want my fucking house to be full of kids getting pissed on a Friday night. I don't want that. Yeah, that's understandable. Right? But it's always it's like, yeah, it's fun. Still fucking don't work.

00:07:57:10 – 00:08:19:03
Because like, women, man, they just relax. Oh. Yeah. I know where it comes from. Volleys that her mum, she wasn't allowed to do anything. She wasn't allowed to, you know. She what? Let's say you have parties, have friends over. Really? Her and her sister just were a bit of a tearaway. Go. And I think it's because it was so strict.

00:08:19:03 – 00:08:38:05
So they used to just. They would go out, get on a bus, go to Swindon, go to a nightclub at like 16, 17. But because I didn't feel like there was anything at home for them that they didn't feel comfortable or they weren't allowed to do anything, there was no freedom at home. So I think she was just that's what she grew up in.

00:08:38:06 – 00:09:00:00
So she sort of backed against it. So she's really children relaxed about it, whereas I'm not I'm going to take a bus to Swindon. We'll say sorry that 40 minutes something. 50 minutes. Oh is it really. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the nearest city, but it's not I don't like the traffic anywhere. So it's like right. But but, I don't know the kids.

00:09:00:03 – 00:09:22:14
Kids in the, in the West Country growing up, that's what I'm talking to my missus is, is that it was nothing to do. There's nothing here. There's not there's there's no youth facilities. There's no there's nothing to do. So you just sit in fields taking acid and drinking cider that I. Yeah, that's that's what the. What else? I'm sorry.

00:09:22:16 – 00:09:40:19
And and, you know, experiment and stuff. So luckily the kids now are not that they're, they're nothing like that. Anyway, I think she thinks I remember what I got up to at their age, this is so much better than what I was doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which I can understand as well. I just don't I don't mind every now and then.

00:09:40:19 – 00:09:55:17
Birthday parties. New year's Eve is a fine time to have a party. It's just. Yeah, we've been in the house ten days. I was super stressed out. Yeah, I went, I went a bit mental, but they can. I know there's a line. They can't fuck around in my house anymore. No, my, my Mrs. as well as she.

00:09:55:17 – 00:10:24:01
So it's quite similar, but my Mrs.. So my mother in law super chilled and my mother in law said something to my Mrs.. And it's obviously struck a chord with my Mrs.. And my mother in law always used to say to my Mrs.. I would rather you and your friends under my roof, where I know where you are, what you getting up to, what you're doing and you're safe.

00:10:24:03 – 00:10:48:15
Then roaming the streets doing XYZ. And then my missus will say, Rick, what would you rather our daughter is to be under our roof in the warmth, safe food, you know, all of that. Or on the streets. And I'm like, it was a tough one. Streets? Yeah, streets. Yeah. Give you my front room back, you bitches. No.

00:10:48:15 – 00:11:06:12
You're within your rights to say that. Sorry. She got a TV in a room. No. Not yet. No. Okay. Oh, well, that's slightly thing. That's a slight. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. What are they going to do? Just sit there, stand on their phones in their. Yeah. Fine. That's. Yeah. But yeah, it'll be all right a couple days.

00:11:06:12 – 00:11:25:03
It's done. Yeah. Set the boundaries somewhere. They have my front room. Right? Yeah. Fuck. Oh my God. Do you know what? By the summer holiday, I, I have a my plans are to be in my loft. Well, you need, you need drone space as well. That's really important part. The reason why I can't, I should because of the money situation.

00:11:25:03 – 00:11:48:24
I should get rid of this and go back and work at home. But the the separation is important. This is my space. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can be here. No distractions. I can do what I want. Not like I can, I can at home, but it's different. It's like, this is like my little I'll shut the door and I'm just alone.

00:11:49:01 – 00:12:15:11
Which is like, you need that, I think. And I'm 100%. I've always liked being alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not always, but I like companionship. And I like, you know, some really important to. I couldn't live properly without having, you know, my partner or the kids. And that's not healthy for me. But ever since I was a kid, I just like shutting the door in my bedroom and being on my own for a bit.

00:12:15:13 – 00:12:46:05
Yeah. Loved it. Yeah. I felt like I created a world. I would read, I would watch TV, and I would just do what I wanted to do. And I think growing up, sorry, the it's because when my, when my mum and dad split up when I was five, they about a year later, maybe a little bit longer, my dad married or got together with Valerie, who had two boys.

00:12:46:07 – 00:13:11:11
One was my my, my age. One was a couple years older. And I had to share my bedroom from having my mum in the house to my mum leaving my dad, but that my mum's been up to having it just be me and my dad to two kids my age coming in. No shit. It was absolutely shit.

00:13:11:13 – 00:13:26:15
And they weren't like, oh, great. Like two new brothers. It was like, no, it wasn't like that. It was like fighting. And I would, fist fights in my bedroom, like, it's fucking fucked. Really. When I think about it, that's. Fuck it. Yeah. And then, like.

00:13:26:17 – 00:13:47:22
I mean, it's like just living with, another 14 year old boy or whatever just coming in and. Well, we were eight. We don't been seven then, but. Yeah, I like eight, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think I fought my stepbrother more than. Well, definitely. He's the person I've had fights with the most in my entire life. I mean, you get to an age, we stop fighting because your dick otherwise, right?

00:13:47:22 – 00:14:15:01
Yeah, yeah, but up to end of school age, fight in physical fights are pretty normal. Yeah, yeah. Like in secondary school. I mean, the mean average in my secondary school was probably about seven fights in five years, like, oh, fucking now really like a championship boxer. Yeah. Yeah. Fight every so 13 months. Yeah. Yeah. It was nice. You owe everyone, two fights with Carl Thompson.

00:14:15:03 – 00:14:35:18
I had about three fights with, Jermaine, Jermaine Edwards, the three fights for the two fights with Carl Thompson didn't. I lost both of those ones. I had a fight with Paulie. Yeah. That was. I shouldn't have had a fight with him. Really? Because he was, like a dork, and, I can't remember what happened, but we ended up scrapping.

00:14:35:18 – 00:14:56:21
But it wasn't. It was bit unfair on him because we little, I had a fight with Jamil, so that's seven. I fight one of my really good mates, Shyam. Yeah. Shyam. Yeah, I remember Shyam. Did I mention. No, I mention him. Yeah, yeah. Seven was with you and Shyam. You had a shared love interest. That's right.

00:14:56:21 – 00:15:13:08
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know flutter never knew about my love interest because Shyam got got him now before him. I like to know. He's like, good lad. Shyam. If he ever. All my mates growing up, he was the best. Do you ever see? You still in contact? Nah, none of them I was. I don't have to, but I've googled a few of them.

00:15:13:10 – 00:15:33:00
But no way a good time. I'm glad. So that was him. Stay away. Well, he was not in person, per. Yeah, exactly. I had a lot. One Ram. Ram from one brand. That's it. Yes, it. I've met few brown mates. I think that brown brown people are generally cool. And I think he said this to me before that you find that you get on with them better.

00:15:33:00 – 00:15:50:11
I'd say so. I'd say like in terms of ratio, of race, of what I get on with base. I think brown people are up top here, definitely. I think I've met 3 or 4 brown people. I could genuinely think, like if we put the work in, we could be really good mates. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. So I don't know.

00:15:50:13 – 00:16:09:16
I mean let's be it for one. Yeah I mean yeah. Fighting. I ain't yet like, two, possibly three at my school. I mean, my school is very tight time. It's not like a fucking that was, it wasn't. It was every day there were fights. Every day. Every day. Yeah. Your school reminds me of, like, dangerous Minds type of school.

00:16:09:18 – 00:16:26:10
Yeah, it wasn't that, you know, but but it was, it was it. Well, it was, it was like it was a normal community school. It went like a school where you just only reprobates, which doesn't sound like a normal community school. I mean, it wasn't it, it was when you were going for it, it felt normal. But when you look back, you think, this is crazy.

00:16:26:10 – 00:16:45:05
Like, once I had, I pretty told you this. I almost never told you this, but I was walking along and there was a stairwell in the bottom of the stairwell. There was an exit from the building that went out into the playground. So the stairwell quite secluded. You couldn't, No, there's no teachers. There's nothing there, though.

00:16:45:05 – 00:17:09:15
CCTV or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the the kids just kid just grabbed me by my my, scruff of my neck. Yeah. Put me against the wall and held a knife to my throat, as is in secondary school. I said, give me what? There's no, no, no, that isn't normal. That's completely abnormal. But at the time, I was like, I don't have any money.

00:17:09:15 – 00:17:27:24
He checked my pockets and then just walked away. At the time, I just shrugged and got on with it, but I think by now that is insane. There was that we had to, we have to say Dangerous Minds. Told you we had. Yeah. Back then as well. You would have looked more like Michelle Phifer. Yeah. What? I was just saying I put long blond hair.

00:17:27:24 – 00:17:54:03
Maybe I was a target. And then, there were, there was one time when some. There was, like, a craze of bringing baby guns into school. So you'd be in lessons, just getting shot in the legs with baby guns. That is fucking, is, I remember, I remember went to I interviewed remember, you know, as confirmed by the footballer.

00:17:54:05 – 00:18:16:14
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Big guy. Yeah. Really went to his house and interviewed him for Bull Street. When I went to Bull Street and we were doing the interview series called The Long Bull Street, where we would sit down with ex pros and just interview them about stuff. So we did, we went to his house in Harlesden and, yeah.

00:18:16:14 – 00:18:33:19
And it was all right. It was fine. It was a bit cold, like it wasn't the best interviewer. And his house is a bit weird. Yeah. And then I said, I went to high school and he was like, rah, you went to Hobby Grove School? What year? And I was like, I was there from 90 to 97. And he was there 93 to 98.

00:18:33:21 – 00:18:42:13
And he's like, cannot I kind of remember him now? Now that is to say, you know, who else who was there when I was there? Joe Swash.

00:18:42:15 – 00:19:05:07
Fuck. Well, both of them were there. Yeah. At the same time when I was there and I, I don't I remember them now that I know they were there. So I remember Joe Swash. It it always run everywhere. Yeah. He was always running around. So it's him Joe Swash. It's for people that knows him. Like, I know what you say.

00:19:05:09 – 00:19:25:22
Minor present. Like a relatively well known in our country, but never. Yeah, he starred in, EastEnders. He was in EastEnders. Yeah, yeah. And that was obviously a professional footballer, so I remember them both. But the minute I mentioned that's actually everything relaxed because he was like, how the fuck did you make it through that school? And I was like, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

00:19:25:24 – 00:19:42:14
So yeah, it was why are we talking about it a fucking do you know what? I literally sat here about five minutes ago and I thought, how have we got onto the schools that rule. And then we were talking about something before, and I was like, how are we even here? And then I was like, we've been talking about 20 minutes.

00:19:42:14 – 00:19:54:12
We need to run that fucking tango. This is fun. Is it, is it 20 minutes? Something like that. All right, all right.

00:19:54:14 – 00:20:22:06
The night I see, like, Band of Brothers playing tunes high is quiet. Midnight waves surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm hit us different ways. Love of music that we played with our tongues in cheek. Band is I, we like to speak and yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers. Hello and welcome to Lads Anonymous.

00:20:22:07 – 00:20:54:13
It's episode 137. I'm Ricky, he's flap two best mates. One main topic. We answer your life dilemmas and confessions in our feature. Something only you know. And everything remains anonymous. Always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the podcast. Flav. I think I've got cancer in my back. Yeah, I think you have to. Yeah. I was in, Well, I mean, I, I maybe I slept awkward or something, but it is fucking I am just, I can feel it.

00:20:54:13 – 00:21:15:10
There's something there. Do you ever get that. Like, if you get if you get a twinge and you just you don't. Do you just actually think, oh, I've slept awkwardly. I'm normally kind of like, go right for the end. I need it banging on the door at the hospital. I need an MRI quickly. So how many days you've had it?

00:21:15:12 – 00:21:20:15
I just woke up this morning. Oh. Just today. All right. Yeah, yeah, it's funny.

00:21:20:17 – 00:21:41:11
You slept funny. You'll be all right. But it's hurting, like, essentially. But for the last, maybe two weeks, on the right hand side, there has been a pain, but that has gone so. So it's shifted now that's starting to happen. Yeah, that's the start of angina. You've got heart disease? Yeah. I've had at least a night. Yeah, yeah.

00:21:41:13 – 00:22:02:02
I know what I mean. You know how complex the body is. How many things in it that can ache? One muscle can another muscle, and, Yeah. Don't laugh at my brother Josie yet. Are you might. I think you might listen to this. I'm not sure. He went in for a hernia op, recently, and they found three hernias.

00:22:02:02 – 00:22:23:19
He didn't know he had three. They say that to fit three hernias, three handles. Yeah. So, like. And he didn't know, like, do you have one in. Knew he had one. Yeah. But you you, you can see them. You can see your hernia. Right. You only really know you've got one when you can see a lump.

00:22:23:21 – 00:22:48:02
Right. So mine was an inguinal hernia which is right next to the cock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So and you can you I've mentioned on this podcast that if you leave it too long it descends into the bollock and your one ginormous bollock. What that is, that's your intestines going into your book bollock. Yeah. It was disgusting. I didn't even think about that for the both the bulges, the intestine going through the muscle wall, there's a weakness in the muscle wall.

00:22:48:04 – 00:23:10:09
And the muscle was supposed to keep everything in. Right. But it doesn't. It comes out. What's super common. Yeah, I still remember. I mean, yeah, my mate had it. Yeah. And. Yeah. And he took a, took a video of it and his, it literally looked like a teapot because his ballocks are absolutely enormous. And then this tiny penis, because of the blows in there, it's fucking fantastic.

00:23:10:10 – 00:23:31:06
Yeah. Well, video you. My brother, my brother had three hernias anyway, so then they fix it. But fuck, you'd probably look at and go, yeah, well, that's definitely a tumor. Oh, God, I couldn't lie. I don't think I could live knowing that something like that is in my body will happen to me. I think I've got another one next to my belly button as well.

00:23:31:08 – 00:23:54:16
You've got another. I can see like a protrusion. But, I think I would genuinely, I think I'd probably get. So the fear would get me. I'd end up killing myself just because I just want to. Everybody has that a little bit, I reckon. You know that. Like the fear, the health anxiety. Yeah, I would say. I would say 90% of people think the worst when they find something out.

00:23:54:18 – 00:24:23:04
Oh do they. I reckon so, yeah. That's I mean that is more comforting to me. Yeah. I mean, know people like our friend Alex. Who are you? Has to book an MRI private to get peace of mind. I don't think it's to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think everybody. Yeah. Thanks a lot. I, I think I think I, I think probably, I suspect I have cancer all the time.

00:24:23:06 – 00:24:42:01
Kind of like you and you, I mean, you've got, because you're going to go you're going to have an early death as early as you feel like, you know, is it late 50s that you that you've. Yeah, I 77. You've got 57. You've got a cancer that you know, the line, the graph where like I think like massive heart attack.

00:24:42:03 – 00:25:03:22
Heart attack. Right. I have no idea. I don't know, it's just weird. You just feel like you won't. But then, you know, the the soldiers that were in the first I will probably felt like they've got months to live. And. Yeah, everyone does. It's I don't know. Yeah, but that's it. That's my mum and I think I think my mum thinks she's gonna live forever tonight.

00:25:03:24 – 00:25:32:14
What are we talking about today? We, talking about favorite films. So have you got any favorite films? That's good. Right. Okay. Well, I mean, can we talk Transformers? Transformers or. We did an episode with John and Transformers. We are going to do an episode. A full episode, bonus episode. I'm, Transformers the Movie. The animation one 1986 robots in disguise.

00:25:32:15 – 00:25:53:05
Yeah, we will do an entire because I'd like genuinely I could I will speak for an hour. An hour and a half an it so it doesn't matter. I've got a fucking Instagram Reels about it. I've seen it, Rick. I've seen it. Right. Okay, but no more. You know what I, I and I saw it. I, let's kick things off.

00:25:53:09 – 00:26:24:12
What films? Oh. Little whistle. Their films. Yeah. What films remind you of your childhood? Oh, American Ninja. What the fuck I think is that I think American Ninja. Yeah. American ninja. It was, an American sort of soldier who, naturally, because everyone was into ninjas in the 80s. Well, it, like, ninjas were like the thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:26:24:12 – 00:26:44:22
Yeah. Super. Well, what's it called? Teenage mutant Ninja turtles? Yeah. In the UK, they change the Hero Turtles because we're so fucking wet. But, yeah, the Ninja Turtles. What is that thing like? I don't know, maybe you need to ChatGPT this because I don't know if it actually did change. Yeah, it did, or if people saw.

00:26:44:23 – 00:27:01:10
It's a syndrome mystery. Yeah. We misremember. Yeah. I can't remember what that's called, but often even, like, bullshit, people have edited it. When. What is that code? Think something.

00:27:01:12 – 00:27:35:06
Ballocks. I love the fact that we're doing this, and I know there's going to be people listening, shouting, Google it. Well, I when I explain what the American Ninja was, so, so so he would basically it was about a G.I. Joe who basically culturally appropriated ninjas and Japanese culture in the event of destroying other ninjas. So he would turn up with his, like, snood on and he would throw stars like ninja stars who would say, I just get you right.

00:27:35:07 – 00:27:55:20
But it was maybe it was like a bit of shit. It was awful. All right, let me do something that people might know, like predator. Lethal Weapon, Die Hard. Yeah. All American action films that were massive back then. Yeah, that sort of stuff. Yeah. Obviously Transformers the movie was. I probably watched that more than anything.

00:27:55:22 – 00:28:19:08
Transformers movie? Yeah. Yeah. But so it's Goonies. Goonies. I watch Goonies now, and I get melancholia so bad. Really? Yeah. I just reminds me, being a little. I, I've watched it, maybe watch it a few times, but it's never been one of those, like the, the nostalgia, being a kid, I know everyone else's are Goonies.

00:28:19:08 – 00:28:45:09
That's, you know, that's that's our film from when we were younger, isn't it? Great? But it's never been style that the sort of synth music sort of sound back soundtrack and Cyndi Lauper I it I it just takes me back every time I see it. I loved it, I love it, really, but the film's great, but it's more the feeling it conjures is why I love Stranger Things so much.

00:28:45:09 – 00:29:09:13
I loved Stranger Things and it reminded me The Goonies. It's like this. Yeah, it's there's definitely nods to it, like the the, the Duffer Brothers of the tapped into that sort of a yeah, yeah, yeah when creating it. So yeah I so I loved it. I that's actually quite surprising, you know that you loved Stranger Things. It was great.

00:29:09:19 – 00:29:26:22
Okay. Yeah. It was. Oh it's fantastic I loved it. Yeah. It's more like I don't know, I felt like it was more catered to to me, rather than knowing what you I know that would get into your, your taste in film and stuff like that. I loved it, I absolutely loved it. I couldn't wait for every episode. So you know what?

00:29:26:22 – 00:29:47:23
I really loved it when it went, started going really dark. Yeah. The people who haven't listened to this turn off for the next 20s. Okay. Right. But so when Vecna started, getting the kids and breaking their bones in the middle, like, hey, I was like, this is fucking wicked. Because before that, before that, you felt like it was for.

00:29:48:00 – 00:30:07:07
It was great writing, brilliant characters, really interesting. But this is aimed at teenage girls, right? Or something like teenagers, right? Yeah. And and probably is still. But when it got dark and violent, super violent, you're like, this is this is great, I love this. Yeah. I really, really love the offer. It's brilliant. Yeah. Yeah, I absolutely loved it.

00:30:07:13 – 00:30:24:04
Yeah, I like the ending. I for the ending was fine, I for absolutely fine. I had no issues with it. I thought he ran off brilliantly. I because I hadn't watched it at that time. Right. Everyone else had I watched a couple of weeks after and, you know, Rotten Tomatoes or whatever, people chatting online. But I didn't do it.

00:30:24:04 – 00:30:42:16
And then I didn't, like, find the story, but I got the general vibe that it didn't finish. Well, it it it's always that, oh, who the fuck are you anyway? I don't know you, Ricky, but you, you do it, then you put fucking ten years of your life into it. If that's the way they want to end it, let amend it that way and just fucking be grateful.

00:30:42:16 – 00:31:07:22
The fact that they've done this, what have you done? Pay the Netflix subscription, you dick. And then I watched it and I was like, this is great. This is this is brilliant. What, what what's going on here? I've said this right, and I'm like sinners. No, I didn't I wasn't having it for good. But 16 Oscar nominations. Are you fucking mad about film?

00:31:07:23 – 00:31:33:20
Oh, yeah. It's like a vampire film set in Deep South, in the kind of period where there was massive racial unrest and. Oh, and technically wrong fucking production values. Incredible looks, great film looks. Looks fantastic. Yeah, but it was. I could it was like a vampire movie where they've just crowbar social commentary into every possible angle they could.

00:31:33:22 – 00:31:53:17
And you like, get it? And I was like, the vampires are like, this isn't everyone knows it's a vampire. But like, they're not, they're like, not they're not vampires, obviously. But the vampires are outside. Yeah. And who are the vampires? Why, Hicks? It's like Klu Klux Klan members, and you're like, you couldn't be more obvious than this. This is like.

00:31:53:19 – 00:32:10:22
It's just I didn't I didn't like it. But my point is, are making Iraqis is who the fuck am I? They spent years putting their life and soul into that film. And because it's really popular, I'm like, no, it shouldn't be that puppet. I should just shut my mouth. Right. Okay, okay. Get. Yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is true.

00:32:10:23 – 00:32:36:05
Well, overrated. Yeah. Don't don't listen to anything. Can I, you my childhood? Yeah. Yeah. Please just go. So obviously Transformers, I'll just play. Well, we'll just put a pin a circle around that. Yeah. Pin in that. And that's pushed over big trouble in little China. Yeah. Hey come on, mate I fugly. Yeah. No. Kurt Russell.

00:32:36:05 – 00:32:55:16
Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell Crowe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I absolutely love that film. And it's so fucking weird. And me and my sister used to sit and watch that film all the time. And when my kids were old enough to watch it, I was like, come home, come sit with daddy. I'll get the popcorn. This is a film I used to love.

00:32:55:16 – 00:33:12:23
And and they're like, thinking they're going to be watching something that's going to be amazing. And they go halfway through it. Not even half way through that. I hated it that this is rubbish. Right? There's a man shooting lasers at his eyes. Not what? Not what? I'm not. Yeah, it's brilliant, isn't it? But they, Yeah, they didn't.

00:33:12:23 – 00:33:37:20
They didn't like it enough. I've kind of, like, not stayed away from trying to force my films onto them. But it's different in it because it's your nostalgia. It's your feelings. Yeah. And what they're not going to, it's not going to hit with them. But what stimulated you when you was a kid? Your the things around you are different to what they are that, you know, getting them to sit down to watch any film is difficult given the the way they absorb media.

00:33:37:20 – 00:34:12:20
Now I find myself sitting on the sofa trying to watch a film and I'm stand looking up, keep looking at my phone. It's sort of put right and looking pissed off of myself from my phone to the other side of the room. Yeah. So I mean, that's the thing that I have to do. One of the reasons and it's a bit of like cop out, but I feel like it's true that I don't watch a lot of films and I don't watch a lot of TV series because I feel like it's a, an investment of my time is 2.5 hours for a film where I could be working or doing something else there,

00:34:12:21 – 00:34:33:03
or whatever it might be, but then I end up putting a film on when I'm just like, right, need to chill out, rig. Let's just have some, you know, time for yourself. And then my hand is just floating towards my pocket to get my phone out. Yeah. And then I'm just like, something's going on and I'm just on Instagram, just scrolling through reels.

00:34:33:03 – 00:34:51:22
I'm like, what is going on? So I have to hide it. Literally hide my phone upstairs. So that temptation. And then I get angry because I'm like, who's the actor? Yeah, where's my fun? Then? I can't get my phone. Then I have a look who the actor is. All the porn in Alabama. All right, we're in Alabama. Oh.

00:34:51:24 – 00:35:16:13
Oh, that that's. And then I'm just down this wormhole on the internet, finding out this person's family, and I'm not even watching the fucking film. Yeah, it is, it is annoying, but you're kind of hard wired to do it. It's like the obsession with information that you can access immediately. It's. I don't know, it's, it's annoying when it's written that has rude.

00:35:16:14 – 00:35:38:21
Maybe, one other film that, again, is me and my sister that we used to, say we used to watch this film. We still fucking watch it if it's on there. Drop dead. Fred. Yeah. When I was younger, I mean, that I don't know which came first. Drop dead for, you know, bottom and drop dead, Fred, but, bottom, bottom first.

00:35:38:21 – 00:36:03:17
I think bottom opened up all the opportunities for Rick Mouth. Yeah, he's one of those kind of, people that I would say he's my, Comedy hero right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember when I was a kid, and I know, sorry, this isn't film. It just fucking sparked him at me for me. So fuck off. Right.

00:36:03:19 – 00:36:34:09
I would have been 13 or 14, and obviously my love for Drop Dead Fred and then Bottom Live, the second one came out and it was 18 plus, right? Yeah. The Christmas, tour back, the wrapping paper staring at me. But, live number 218 plus. And I was like 13, 14. My mum had bought it for me because she was right.

00:36:34:11 – 00:36:52:01
I know, but I know it's cool though. Yeah, I, I was just like, she knew that I love Rick Mayo. And she knew that I love it and I fucking what's that thing back and forth. It was absolutely quality. I must have seen it about four, ten times as well. But of lives, they were brilliant. Yeah. So.

00:36:52:02 – 00:37:12:04
Oh me so good. I that's one of those people like, you know when it's like a loss you know people. Oh someone's died. I off fucking bothered mate. Yeah. That was one of those. What? It, It was so disgusting. The flat they lived in, it was so horrible. Him and Adrian Evans in a flat flat. What was his name?

00:37:12:06 – 00:37:21:18
Well, in. And Eddie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Eddie Hitler, I think his name is Eddie Hitler. Yeah.

00:37:21:20 – 00:37:41:03
Eddie? Yeah, it was just disgusting. But then he kind of took you back to the young ones as well, right? The Young ones was the start for all of them. You ever watch? Yeah, I've. I've watched. I've watched it, but not like these back and forth. Like, feels like, It feels like bomb before. Bomb. Yeah.

00:37:41:05 – 00:37:53:10
Oh, yeah. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. But drop that. Fred was, Yeah. It was quite silly. Yeah. It's just mental. It was, it was,

00:37:53:12 – 00:38:16:22
My last say from my childhood ones is, And they've not. I've, I've mentioned this one before. And this is when I would go round to my dad's house and he would, choose the film for us, but from blockbusters, and most Jean-Claude Van Damme films, definitely of my, my childhood. But once this is one like, Universal Soldier.

00:38:16:24 – 00:38:38:10
You like. I liked Universal Soldier. It wasn't the fact that I liked it. It was the one that had the biggest impact because the guy, the main guy in it would collect, would kill people and collect their ears, and he'd have a necklace of different people's ears around his neck. So yeah, it was. Yeah. Yeah. Like, this is fucking mental.

00:38:38:10 – 00:39:02:23
You know, I don't remember the, Universal Soldier as well as, all these other films. Yeah. Bloodsport to this day is still a great film, in my opinion. Yeah, yeah, but that Bloodsport is hands down Jean-Claude Van Damme's best film, I think. Which one was the one that there was a man promoting? Simon? That might be kickboxer.

00:39:03:00 – 00:39:24:03
Okay, I don't know, it's a banger as well. So this is one where they, he, they go over to Thailand and there is a fighting competition. And Jean-Claude Dandan is out there with, I think it's Johnny Dukes. Is is mate with the Colonel? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he was American. Yeah. He was really? Yeah. And they would fight on this platform.

00:39:24:03 – 00:39:47:17
That would be would be flat in the middle. It'll go up on the sides. And it was up. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. And there was a, the baddy, the sort of the fighter that what was he going to come Lao or something like that. And he was this massive sort of big Japanese guy. He was, just killing everybody in the ring, and, yeah, he has to make his way through this tournament.

00:39:47:17 – 00:40:05:04
And there's all the different fighting styles. That was what was great. It was like the precursor to Street Fight. Yeah, yeah. You know the game Street Fighter. The other is like this, guys, we fight, fought like a monkey and would roll around and jump up and punch people in the heads and then scurry back. I never thought about that, about the Street Fighter connection with that.

00:40:05:05 – 00:40:27:08
It's, I don't know if it was inspired by it, but. Or the film. I don't know what came first, to be honest. I can't remember. But Bloodsport, for me to this day, if it is on, I'll watch it. Yeah. Right. Okay. That is one of the questions as well. What if there is a film? It might be late at night.

00:40:27:10 – 00:40:47:17
It might be first thing in the morning. Whatever. What are the films that you have that when they do come on that the you know, vast majority of them are classics, but what are the films that when they when they come on, you're like, oh my, I can't, I can't leave this. Yeah. I mean, I think you already know, I can't think I, I think I know one of them.

00:40:47:19 – 00:41:20:10
Yeah. And it's a pain in the ass because it's not a short film. Nah, it's a fucking long. Don't get that. Yeah. Braveheart. Braveheart song. I'm watching it. It for sure get 80. Oh, man, it's so good. It's is so many acts, so many parts that that film, it all so blended perfectly. Yeah I am, that's one of the films I have to show my kids, and I just don't know if they're going to, you know, they're just I mean, are young girls going to like Braveheart?

00:41:20:10 – 00:41:42:03
I don't know, but it's such a fucking good film. What what what films are they watching? Just kids now. Like fucking, but they're using, like, K-pop demon hunter. Yeah, that's very popular in it. Yeah, they they love that. But when they've got kids, they'll probably try and show that good K-pop demon hunter. I probably the Transformers.

00:41:42:05 – 00:42:02:17
I will watch Transformers The Movie with me. When he was younger with the animation one. Yeah. With, Michael Bay. No, no no no, I wouldn't I I've never bothered with any of them in this shit. Good, good. What? I tried watching them. You like this is just shit. Yeah, it's what's great about trying. We can't. Right.

00:42:02:19 – 00:42:26:17
We'll put a pin in general. I mean, put a pin it up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think that they. I don't like Chloe's. Sure. Watch lots of series. And she was sort of. Yeah. See, that's what that's what they do. They. Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Not really into films. They will watch some American series or show or whatever it is.

00:42:26:19 – 00:42:51:22
I've got another one gone. Saving Ryan's private, Ryan saving private. Saving private Ryan. I meant. Yeah, that is, when I was younger. Right. And that came on. Yeah. The beginning scene of when they're on those, you know, those kind of like, floating ships where they're carrying transporters onto the beach. Yeah. Transport is. Yeah, onto the beach.

00:42:51:22 – 00:43:14:06
And that, the front back goes down, and then you rush off into the sea and run up the beach. And then where the machine gun is just tuned in as soon as that door opens and everyone's just dying. It was the first time I kind of looked at my mum to say the did this actually happen in real life mum?

00:43:14:08 – 00:43:59:13
Like she was like, yeah, like, this is exactly what happened. And I was like, it was that first moment of dread and fascination and thinking, I can't believe this happens to this scale. And then watching it the whole way through. Saving Private Ryan is in my top five, as well as Braveheart. I mean, it is just. And then, you know, Tom Hanks in it and the whole storyline of trying to find this soldier and their whole journey of going through, the different places the, the mother had lost two sons, and they were just trying to pull him out.

00:43:59:15 – 00:44:28:03
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think two sons had died and they didn't want to have, they didn't want to be sending a third letter. And she's got three sons. They didn't want to, you know, the final son to to die and, to receive that. So that was can you imagine that there was a, there was a a clause called the sole survivor pact in the Second World War.

00:44:28:05 – 00:44:59:13
So it's called the sole survivor policy, rather. Right. And the Sullivan brothers tragedy, where if there was one remaining son, he would be pulled out of service and sent home. Oh, wow. Really? Yeah. It's this. The story of Saving Private Ryan isn't necessarily true, but there would have been elements of it that. Wow. Okay, okay, so the Niland brothers, Edward Preston, Robert and Frederick Fritz in Ireland were four brothers.

00:44:59:13 – 00:45:26:00
When I called Fritz, it was called Fritz, wasn't he? For my brother that Matt Damon's got Matt Damon's character. Okay. Were four brothers born to Michael and August in Ireland in Tonawanda, new NY. However, in New York. Yeah, New York, Tonawanda. New York's got some, yeah. It's not just a city. It's sort. New York is a state.

00:45:26:02 – 00:45:52:24
Yeah. And it's got the city. Yeah. So, Tonawanda, Edward Francis was born on December 22nd, 1912, followed by Preston Thomas on March 5th, 1915, blah, blah, blah. The youngest brother was Frederick William. First born in 1920, April 23rd. All four brothers were saved in the US Army and with deployed overseas, served in the deployed overseas during World War Two.

00:45:53:01 – 00:46:16:21
Preston, Robert and Fritz were part of the D-Day invasion of of Normandy. Ship boy basically all died in the boat. The youngest when they fuck. I didn't know that. No, no, they're not. Anyway, great film. Yeah, yeah. Amazing film. Amazing. So you got Saving Private Ryan? I'm also going to, And, Braveheart. I'm going to add one in there as well.

00:46:16:22 – 00:46:28:10
That, if it is on, I have to stay and watch it. And that is Shawshank Redemption is probably my.

00:46:28:12 – 00:46:47:19
Most favorite film, I think. I think it is. What are you going to say? Come on. You you, You've got that look in your eye. Fucking disgust me. You're going to say something and it's going to be hurtful, and I don't want to hear it. I when I was a kid, I for blood. Wow. Said it. Yeah.

00:46:47:22 – 00:47:09:12
Hey, when I was a kid, I thought this is an incredible film. Yeah. Brilliant. Brilliantly paced, brutally written. So much to it. It's always changing. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, this is great. And then I, I met my wife and I went, I've got redemption. You guys. I've never seen that. And I was like, what you how have you got to 35.

00:47:09:12 – 00:47:28:24
I've never the with them, you lucky bastard. I think it's just all taken acid in fields instead of in. That's what it was. How have you never, never seen that? I was like this. Let's watch it. So. Watched it again.

00:47:29:01 – 00:47:51:24
And it wasn't as good as I remember. In fact, I, I kind of felt like seven out of ten, maybe 7.5. Okay. Being right. Okay. Right. It was a kid. It was ten out of ten. This is the greatest film ever made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what was it that just didn't I? Hey, I think I thought it was grander than it was.

00:47:51:24 – 00:48:16:22
I think I had over the years, I'd kind of built it up to be something like that. It just was never meant to be. And so I just thought that there was this it was this grand, epic story, whereas it was probably more subtle and for that reason, probably better, than I remembered. And so I think I'd built it up in my brain to be something that it wasn't.

00:48:16:24 – 00:48:35:01
It'd been like 20 years since I'd watched it. Right. I think I remembered it as being and and you hear people talk about it for years. And then when I watched, it was underwhelming. So I'd probably more me than that in the film. You can't take anything from it. I don't want to be that guy. Yeah, and that's a really bad job.

00:48:35:02 – 00:48:51:17
And I know I apologize, I don't. Yeah, yeah, I don't I don't want people up. I'll tell you what I don't give a shit about when people are breaking Bad. What a load of shit, man. Honestly, fucking five out of five out of ten, Max. Five out of ten. Max. Five out of ten. Max. Very well. Okay, well, we're on this, right?

00:48:51:18 – 00:49:14:21
What are you watching? The films that you've, That someone has said. Mate, you've got to see this film, and you're like, this is fucking shit, and I hate you for make you make me what? You. I'm going to go first. And it's a film you recommended to me many, many years ago. It was, you and, your ex said, you've got to watch this film.

00:49:14:21 – 00:49:32:11
It's so funny. It's the greatest blah, blah, blah. And I sat down to watch it, and I was like, I am so angry. I want those two hours back in my life, The Big Lebowski. Oh, come on, fuck off me. I love fuck off. I didn't know you was going to say Big Lebowski. What do you think? That's good.

00:49:32:11 – 00:50:00:03
It's like. I couldn't think it. I couldn't think of it. Yeah. I remember being like everyone. There's so many clips and gifs and everything being shared and all Big Lebowski classic, blah blah. Fuck off me. So, I mean, you're an idiot, but I guess it is a type of film, a stylized film that some people might not sit with.

00:50:00:03 – 00:50:25:18
But to say it, you want your time back. Yeah. I just it wasn't we. It wasn't it, man. We in the X were really into the Coen brothers. We love the Coen brothers films. They've made some apps that impeccable films. But it was a time kind of indie film making. Not that they necessarily were in the filmmaking, but there was a time where you could make those films and they'd get out, whereas, yeah, you don't.

00:50:25:20 – 00:50:52:00
Certainly they're not as readily available now as they were then. They were released, and then I just VHS and then The room you'd find out from recommendations, okay, what's the film? And that's how you end up watching films, whereas now it just feels like, you know, ones with the most marketing budget potentially get pushed forward. I don't know what it might be, but yeah, so they had they had the Fargo Barton Fink race in Arizona.

00:50:52:02 – 00:51:08:22
Well say that all these films are fantastic. You saying words to me, brother? Yeah. Yeah. So if you got have you got a film that like that you were deeply disappointed with?

00:51:08:24 – 00:51:31:09
I honestly can't think of any. I can't think of any really. That's. Well, why do you have it? Why do you have a thing? I did want to actually, bring this up on the page. You're a lot more learned about films. You just said the Coen brothers. I wouldn't have a fucking clue who the Coen brothers are.

00:51:31:14 – 00:51:51:10
I wouldn't have a clue about different directors. I wouldn't have a clue about different, I often say in our WhatsApp group, oh, this is a production money for a 20. Yeah, or some shit, like, like, oh, this shit. And I'm not, I'm not, mate, I don't watch film on and I hear the title, but no, what I want to say is, and you've also mentioned in this the production values.

00:51:51:10 – 00:52:13:05
This is great. I have no idea what that fuck. Yes you do. Right. It just means it was made well, right? Right. Yeah. I mean, it means the right decisions were made to, you know, to. Okay. But I've also heard, you know, pacing the script in, in a good film, but the script. Script let it down, that kind of stuff.

00:52:13:05 – 00:52:29:23
Where did you get into film now? Is it always been because you, You always. You've always recommended me films and you're like, I'll watch this up film the other day, Rick, when we're on the phone and you're like, I know you're never going to watch it, but I should. Yeah. And then. And then you tell me, and then I'm like, well, I'll put it on my list.

00:52:30:00 – 00:52:49:23
And then I don't watch it. But, if you've always been into, films. Yeah, of course I we all are. Me to some degree. Yeah. No you don't. You're weird in that you don't watch hardly any films, but. And then you eventually you'll get to it because. Yeah, I think most people love film. I like watching it, certainly.

00:52:49:23 – 00:53:09:18
And I know in terms of, like, pacing, he's like, is there any point in the film where you think, oh, come on, hurry up, or is it perfectly paced to the point where you're you're never thinking that? Or is the intention of the film to draw out periods in order for you to feel something like, there's a guy called Gus Van Sant, right?

00:53:09:18 – 00:53:35:13
And you'll know about him because he directed, he directed fuck. Brilliant film. Matt Damon's first film. They wrote, Boston. You've seen that? Really? Oh, good Will hunting. Yeah. You seen good with Holland? Yes I have, yes. Thank. Right. Yeah, yeah. So good. Good. Will hunting is up there. It's, incredible film. It is a banger of a film.

00:53:35:13 – 00:54:03:03
Yeah. It's so good. So Gus Van Sant also produced a film called Elephant, and he also produced a film called Jerry. An injury. You got Matt Damon, and you got Casey Affleck. I think it's Casey Affleck. And they go into. And the reason why I took speaking about these two films specifically is because the themes between the both are the same and the way of shooting the film was very similar.

00:54:03:05 – 00:54:14:14
So Gus Van Sant took the style across to two films and applied it to it. It happens quite often when you get a look that a director has like,

00:54:14:16 – 00:54:40:00
Yeah. And it aims at the fantastic Mr. Fox and the Grand Budapest Hotel. Anyway, this man, I can't remember the name of the rights of his famous. Yeah, but they have a certain look anyway. In, in in Jerry. Oh, it's so it's that certain look. Is that where there was a trend on social media and everyone taking videos of the certain way in how these films are produced.

00:54:40:02 – 00:55:02:16
What's the guy's name's Wes Anderson? Wes Anderson yeah. So Wes Anderson has a you know, when you're watching a was when a southern film even if you're not where and it's often still you'll have a fixed shot and everything would be very symmetrical and and and each shot would be in a similar fashion. Yeah. Very unique to him.

00:55:02:16 – 00:55:28:03
It's really good. I like yeah, I love that. Yeah. Yeah. The Grand Budapest Hotel, that was what it were. What was I saying? So. So yes. The way this this guy, I guess what I'm saying is he's able to produce an incredible movie or a direct competitor. Incredible movie in good Will hunting that is mainstream. Then produce Jerry like these indie pics of Jerry and elephant.

00:55:28:05 – 00:55:58:12
Elephant is about the a school shooting. It's a sort of nod to a school shooting, and it's about these kids that prepare and walk and go into this school and shoot everybody up, basically because so much money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jerry is about two friends who go for a walk in, desert. They park up at the car park and they go for a walk, and the film's essentially about them going for a walk to the point where they get left, they get lost, and they can't find a car.

00:55:58:14 – 00:56:20:14
Right. And they're walking and walking and walking. Walking and walking and walk. And there'll be a shot that's behind one of the legs, and they'll hold it for five minutes. And you're watching his film and he's just walking. And they might have some dialog. They might speak of it. It's as if you're there and and it's it's like, this is so hard work.

00:56:20:14 – 00:56:48:05
I want to turn this off. Right. Okay. Am I supposed to be like the. Is this a good film? That doesn't sound appealing. Right. So you're a this film is probably about an hour and 20 minutes long, and I would say 80% of it. They're walking, and then they might find a boulder or something. And then they're slowly, slowly becoming more and more desperate.

00:56:48:07 – 00:57:18:13
The starving, they've got no water and they walk okay. They walk and they will get get bad, like pissing in each other's mouths and share. Or it gets to the point where they are so distraught and out of it that one of them has to murder the other one. No. Right. Yeah. And I think is Kate Casey Affleck murders Matt Damon shit.

00:57:18:15 – 00:57:46:05
And it is terrifying. It is. You've you've spent you've spent basically an hour watching these two people walk and slowly, slowly degrade into the point where they would rather be dead than continue. Yeah. And he, Casey Affleck, if the kindest thing you can do here is kill his best friend, it might be his brother I remember. Yeah, it kills him.

00:57:46:05 – 00:58:17:11
It's horrible. It's like really gritty and real. The whole thing where you're real. They go through that process. Casey Affleck gets up, starts walking and walking and walking, and then he finds a road. And then the cars come, you get. And that's the end of the film. If he hadn't killed him, they would all be. They would all got out.

00:58:17:11 – 00:58:41:17
Fight, like, Really. Right. So I'm watching this and I'm like, would I recommend this to anybody? Absolutely not. Would I do I remember this film 20 years after I watched it? Yeah, right. I've seen a thousand films, Rick. Yeah, the most of them. I can't tell you anything about them. I can tell you anything about this film where the majority of it was they're just walking in the desert.

00:58:41:19 – 00:59:07:15
That's great for me. Yeah. Okay, good. Thank you. I was about to say so. Is this a good film? It's great, great fact. But would I ever watch it again? Not in a million years. Yeah, right. Okay. It has that long lasting, you know, impact on you. So I again, a film that you recommend to me, I never know how to pronounce it ex machina.

00:59:07:17 – 00:59:36:14
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Right now we're talking. Now that the concept of that and what happened in that, I think about that regularly. Yes. It's an incredible film and it's like those. So when we're talking about okay, you were saying about production values and this and that exposure whatever, what when I watch that, that's not what I'm watching it for, but that that concept of, robots I how clever is.

00:59:36:17 – 01:00:06:12
Yeah. It's just there's everyday bits in my life where I'll be on Twitter and grok has produced something. I go on ChatGPT and they're saying all of using these new commands, it can fucking do whatever. And you're like, is this like, is this going to happen to me? Like, you know, I mean, like there's every day there's reminders of, are we flying too close to the sun?

01:00:06:12 – 01:00:31:06
And it's all from that watching that film. Yeah, yeah. And feeling that sweet foreboding of shit could get on top of us real quickly. Yeah. If you got that from the Terminator right? Not really. But that's what at the time I was like, terminate. Terminate was great. Soundtrack to. It was great. Yeah. They said guy with like a metal face, but, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

01:00:31:08 – 01:00:50:08
Yeah, but then I, I will destroy us inevitably is the theme, right? Whereas I thought Ex Machina was a little bit more subtle than that. It was. Yeah. I mean, it was it kind of for those that don't want to ruin it. And I really implore anyone who hasn't watched Ex Machina go stop listening to this podcast.

01:00:50:10 – 01:01:14:09
Not right now, but stop listening to that five minutes. So don't need to ruin. I don't want to ruin anything. Ex Machina might be my top three films of all time. Might be right. That's okay. Right? What's bold? Right. Yeah, that's a big statement. Yeah, okay. It is brilliant. It's so, so layered. Right? There's so many things to consider.

01:01:14:11 – 01:01:46:00
And the key part, the most interesting part, it's a it's a thriller, right. There's this underlying tension that something and everything is going to go wrong at any moment. Yeah. It's deeply kind of you kind of creates a, a deeply unsettling atmosphere. The soundtrack, the fact that they're enclosed in this cabin in the middle of nowhere, the fact that there's this domineering male alpha male who is the scientist who, you know, is a bit crazy, but also, kind of charismatic.

01:01:46:02 – 01:02:13:24
There's a size difference between him and the lead character. The the name is cool is it's, something Neeson. Anyway, he there's, you know, he can be overpowered by the scientist. This physically. Yeah. And then the point of him being there is that the scientist needs a subject. He needs someone to test his work on to, which is the robot, which is,

01:02:14:01 – 01:02:44:21
What's the name? Terrible. Calling names. Black Swan actress, Star Wars fog. Why does my mind do this? Because I don't know. Hey, remember he scored in the against Blackburn in 2001, but, yeah. Sorry. Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman plays. Yes, yes, yes, please. The robot and she is behind a he sits down in this room and she is really attractive.

01:02:44:23 – 01:03:09:18
Yeah, right. They they've created her body, in an archetypal way of an attractive woman. So naturally, she is, she has a pretty face. She has big boobs. She has a skinny waist. All of the things that tap into our brains instinctively. Yeah. No. He's beautiful. Right? Yeah. So she has to be created that way. She has to look that way.

01:03:09:20 – 01:03:40:24
Because the point is, can she make him fall in love with her even though he knows it's not real? It's a robot. It's programing. It isn't real, is I? So the point of the, the Turing test is, do you know the Turing test where you. Yeah, they compete and is the the free computer's sending, questions or something along these lines.

01:03:41:01 – 01:03:58:10
And basically the computer would have to beat you. You'd have to not know which one is the computer, but it'd be behind screens. I can't remember exactly how it went. So in this instance, it's the opposite. She's they're showing you she's a robot. So to, to finish what she looks like, she has a face but she has like a robotic head.

01:03:58:16 – 01:04:23:06
She's got a robotic body. You can see physically she is a robot. Yeah, but can the AI can make him create the most, beautiful of human emotion, which is love. Can he make her. Can she make him fall in love with her even though he knows she isn't real? Then what is she? If she isn't, she's real in his vision.

01:04:23:06 – 01:04:47:05
She is real because he feels what he feels is real. So it doesn't matter. She's he's a robot or not, because what she's created in him is a genuine feeling of love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what is real? So if it is, if it is that she can create in him love, then she exists. So what is the the, the scientist created life is created.

01:04:47:07 – 01:05:03:21
He's. God. Effectively he. It's the existence of God in our world. Yeah, yeah. Just not on the level that we want it to be. It's not holy. Create. Yeah. So I've met his. And then. And then on top of that, it all goes fucking mental and, well, scary as well. Like, yeah when he finds the other models and then.

01:05:03:22 – 01:05:28:18
Yeah. So good it is. And like guys we've already said in this that I am not the biggest film buff and watch a lot of films, but I did watch it because black told me to say and it is fucking phenomenal. It is phenomenal. To I just want to rattle through some, some questions just before we go, let me move on to something.

01:05:28:18 – 01:06:02:01
Any, you know, favorite actor? Do you have a is there is there someone that you're like, oh, they're in this. What's this film? Yeah. Your favorite performance could be could be either or. I liked I like Ryan Gosling, I think. Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You do like girls, I didn't. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Heath Ledger's performances, Joker and Batman stands out.

01:06:02:01 – 01:06:31:20
Yeah. Phenomenal. Anything with Philip Seymour Hoffman before he passed away? I don't know that that goes down. Yeah. How's the camp? And, Tommy, you know, have you seen Talented Mr. Ripley? Yes, I have, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, coach. Yeah. It's all saying Boogie Nights as well. Yeah. That, one of my favorite actors under the radar would be Ben Foster.

01:06:31:20 – 01:06:56:03
He's never really. He's never really been given a start, like a, like a starring role, but he's always brilliant. So Ben Foster, I would say check him out every whatever reason, he's great in the Watford goalkeeper. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah. He's you know, he's an extra, Rick do you not like that? Tom Hardy no obvious one really.

01:06:56:05 – 01:07:30:10
Tom Hardy fantastic. He is. I think he's one of the the best actors, modern day actors at the moment. I, I feel like, yeah. My standout performance has to be, Gary Oldman, Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula. That he's he's he's fucking insane. It's so good, man. I love that film so much. So good. But, I tell you what, I wouldn't.

01:07:30:12 – 01:07:55:22
I actively try to avoid watching films in well, not always, but more recent ones. Anything with Al Pacino or, Robert DeNiro. Okay, but what film Scorsese. You wrote the the latest one coming which called again recalling names really difficult, but it's like four hours long and it's just like I've seen a fucking sick of these fucking long.

01:07:55:24 – 01:08:22:15
If I want to watch Robert De Niro or Joe Pesci or Reilly or I'm going to and I really was dead. But it's okay. What's great is films that probably have been made, like Goodfellas, yeah, yeah. Casino. Yeah. I mean, what what is it that turns you off about them now, watching them? Is it because that they've just been brought in because of the name and they're like, I don't want to say spent force base, like more of, yeah, they are a bit of a spent force.

01:08:22:15 – 01:08:55:04
Okay. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Robin Williams. Okay. And if it were Robin Williams in Good Will hunting in Patch Adams. Oh, mate. Mrs. Doubtfire. Mrs. Doubtfire is a good film for the kids. Great film. Yeah, I know it. You know it. There was a film that absolutely crushes me. Crushed me. He's about him, and he's has a, a wife.

01:08:55:06 – 01:09:17:10
His wife. He dies in a car accident with his kids, and his wife is left, and then they're. It's about him trying to get back from the afterlife to his wife. But not. Yeah, but not but not. It ain't like, oh, he's going to come back to life and everything's going to be happier. Isn't that? He's just trying to.

01:09:17:10 – 01:09:45:19
He can see the grief that she's going through and he's just trying to touch her. I mean, I'm welling up just thinking about it. I can't, but it's it's in this fantasy world, so it's it's the afterlife. But there is, Yeah, it's a brilliant film made. I don't want to watch. That sounds that sounds horrible. Oh, I am oh, did you say Robin Williams?

01:09:45:21 – 01:10:04:12
Robin Williams? Yeah. What do you make from what dreams make? That's what it's called. He was. He was in the film as well. Is it called Bicentennial Man? Yeah. I don't remember watching that. And, that that made me well up that one. Really. And. Yeah. Yeah, I made that. Made me Patch Adams and make you well up.

01:10:04:14 – 01:10:29:01
I haven't seen that. So he, I think he creates a hospital or builds a hospital that is about, as much as it is about medicine. It's about bringing joy to kids. And most of the kids are dying of cancer and shit. Oh. Fucking hell. Oh, Jesus. I remember as well I was. I read you up once and I was like, well, I, I, I've got Friday off.

01:10:29:03 – 01:10:47:24
I'm gonna watch some films. Can you recommend me one? And you were like saying, oh, I'll recommend you. This film is really good. But I was crying all the way through or something like that. It's fucking horrible what it's like. Right. Great. What's that? Is it a monster calls me. Oh, I was like, I didn't know what I was thinking.

01:10:48:00 – 01:11:10:07
Transformers go. No, no, they watch it. Rick. What is that about? It's, Man, you you won't watch it if I tell you, so you should just watch it. But it's about, How about a boy and how he copes with.

01:11:10:09 – 01:11:40:01
I can't tell you, because if I. If I tell you, kind of you kind of spoiling. I'm spoiling the premise. It is brilliant. It is truly brilliant. It's fun. It's beautiful to watch. It's a great film. It just hits you like a ton of bricks. Right? Right. Okay. What I'm going to say is from. But when we record the plot next time, next week, I'm going to have watched this film and everyone else that you're listening.

01:11:40:01 – 01:12:00:19
We are all going to watch this film, right? I mean, you can email in and we can also, discuss with plans. I it's a monster calls, a monster calls. And it's about a young man who, he draws pictures of monsters, basically. Okay. And they, stranger things, like, you know. Yeah, yeah. Like, it's like a it's like a fantasy.

01:12:00:19 – 01:12:41:20
It's like a fantasy. Right. Okay. And it's brilliant. And everybody should watch it. Good. I'm going to. I'm going to watch it before we go. Actually, you know, I did send those questions. Okay, I do, you know, I always do send out questions and then I get to on that fucking, yesterday anyway, so. Oh lovely. Well, one of the emails we got in, my dad and I both listened to the pod, and we have both come to the conclusion that good Will hunting is the best film ever made, even though the main character, Will, was one of the smartest kids on the planet, he still needs to realize, intelligence isn't enough

01:12:41:20 – 01:13:04:23
with emotional growth. Yes, it shows that even though people struggle, there is always a way around a tricky situation. No matter where you're from or how educated you are. It is also a classic example of never judging a book by its cover. Great. Pod really helps me and my dad bond when we listen together. Keep up the great work, Pierce.

01:13:05:04 – 01:13:25:11
I think I have the say, Something I wasn't supposed to read that, I think I have the same UDI. Can't wait for Flav to call you out on it tomorrow. Oh, I shouldn't have it. I did, Instagram stories around lads and your. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, because it's a fucking grown man.

01:13:25:11 – 01:13:45:09
What are you doing? I know this is the, This is why I didn't want to read that last bit, and I've made it so you haven't, I? I you know what? I never like when when some of we do a lot of podcasts, we give a record. I it's your turn your camera on and you'll be in a fucking stinking hoodie because what you does, it feels soft on my skin.

01:13:45:11 – 01:14:07:23
Yeah. You talking about saving Private Ryan? Yeah. Well, what do you think? They were walking around annuities when they got home? Nah. Yeah, I kept their boots on. Yeah, like they're just in case and kicks off. Deary me, you know? Right. Okay. We have got a something any of you know, and it's called. I've shat my organs out.

01:14:07:23 – 01:14:32:22
What? I will say something tiny, you know, something and, you know, please send in your stories. We are running low on the stories back now. We have an anonymous form to fill out. You can go on our Linktree. It's on there. You can email, you can DM and ask for it or whatever. We will not be able to tell where it's been sent from.

01:14:33:01 – 01:14:56:21
Your name. There's no email address. There's no trace or anything. No one will notice you. We don't know it's you send it in. Or if you don't give a fuck, just email it to us. That's anon pod at gmail.com and we will read them out. The topic for next week. The topic for next week is Art is a punk.

01:14:56:23 – 01:15:19:11
What is it? A bunch of made up tosh? What is the beauty in the eye of the beholder? From the fresco paintings of the Italian Renaissance period to modern day Banksy, we'll be discussing the arts and its place in modern, society now and how relevant it is. I mean, I'm looking at you flat right this second. What's above your head?

01:15:19:13 – 01:15:42:09
It's a picture of Batman. Had, and that's by, famous artist, isn't it? Sort of famous. Sort of. Kind of renowned in his circle. Yeah. Okay. Tommy Baker. Yeah. It's not a London. Yeah, yeah, it's not like fucking. But you've got a couple of them. Yeah. By Charmaine Baker. Well, I've had to, to,

01:15:42:11 – 01:16:01:22
Sorry, but, one of them, I had to sell when my dog got really ill and had to pay for a vet bill. Oh. Fuck off. Yeah. When you know the half pint one with the pound boy with a pound his head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's when I bought that. That was. I bought it for about £190. It was a birthday present.

01:16:01:24 – 01:16:29:18
And it just went up in value. Ended up selling it for about £2,800. Oh. And then had to sell it to pay for fucking dog. That is, I mean that's put it that. Which dog. What, Frank. No, Rowe's not Frank Franks insured. Right. Just what a fucking scam insurance is, by the way. Right. It's like we all it all insurance is is loan loaning you these loans.

01:16:29:18 – 01:16:50:19
You money, and you have to pay them back. It's like this idea that if. Oh, like Frank had a problem with his I quite difficult thing to solve. And it was expensive. They had. There's a specialist who works in Swindon specifically with eyes in dogs and he had he had basically an ulcer on his eye. Oh, God.

01:16:50:19 – 01:17:10:19
Poor bastard. Yeah. Quite uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable. And so in order to get this, they have to shave the ulcer off with. It's, it's a, a pen has a motor in it, and it has a bull on a stick with a bull on the end with, like, a serrated edge. But it isn't. It hasn't caught the eye or anything.

01:17:10:19 – 01:17:31:22
It's not. Yeah, yeah. It's painful for the dog afterwards, but they put loads of painkiller and numbness in the eyes. So it's not that big a deal. But he has to wear a cone for a week so they don't scratch your eye anyway, the total cost of the treatment was like £1,800. We paid in excess of, like, 400, something like that.

01:17:31:22 – 01:17:53:10
And then. And then the rest was covered by the insurance company. Next quote. We get free insurance. It's gone up. It's gone up £30 a month, something like that. It's already £60 a month. It's gone up. So what we're doing here, all you're doing is loaning me the money. I like you, so. All right. Yeah, we'll pay for this treatment, but we're going to put your premiums up 30 pounds a month.

01:17:53:12 – 01:18:13:20
So. And if he doesn't get ill in the next two years, you've made your money back. So yes, that is loan me the money. Me and another thing. Right. And another thing. Yeah. Right. And another thing. Fucking insurance. I'm going through my content insurance as well. The surveyor came out for a lot. I've got buildings and contents insurance.

01:18:13:23 – 01:18:32:14
Yeah. And it was like er for the, the leak, the, you know, the shower. Yeah. Coming through the ceiling or all that. And he came in and he was like, oh, well, you know, you're covered for, a burst water main, you're covered for the sink falling off. You're covered for this. But not sure if we're covered for that.

01:18:32:16 – 01:18:53:19
May, we I've been with you for three years. He's been paying off my fucking content insurance. That should be covered, right? That should be, I'm in an art. These people are. It's a fucking fit up, I'll tell ya. It's like, you have to do a certain amount of. You have to jump through hoops to try and claim an insurance.

01:18:53:23 – 01:19:12:02
And I get why you have to do that. I'm not stupid. But then, obviously, if people are claiming for an actual reason, you come round and you can fucking see it, right? What is it then? Just sign up. It's a pipe. Yeah. He says, well look, look what's happened. Something's happened so fucking. This is why I pay you in case something happens.

01:19:12:02 – 01:19:34:00
Something's happened. Yeah. And they're like, well, I don't know about that. My no, no fucking just give me the money. Give this to you. Come right. Someone comes in, robs your house, but you've left one of your doors open. Not a void. Not my property. Shouldn't left the door open. Hey, fuck off man. Fuck off. Just quickly remember recommendation of.

01:19:34:01 – 01:19:55:06
Instead of something really heavy. Making it. Making everyone kind of cry. But action film. But I watch whenever it's on, Constantine. Whenever it's on, I'll watch it. It's fucking great. It's, What? It's, What's his name? Fucking. Yeah. Can I read to Audie Reeves? Yes. He's coming. Yes, he's a priest with a gun. Basically. He's fucking.

01:19:55:06 – 01:20:24:02
Well, he is mental. He just fucks things up all the time. And these demons try and get through. He's just blasting them. It's, like, so much fun. And there's another one. There's another film. I recommend Paul Bettany film of a similar ilk again when it's on, Legion and Priest, two really fun films. Okay, if you want to just sit down, on the sofa, on a Friday night.

01:20:24:02 – 01:20:47:20
Don't want to think too much about a tough day. Constantine, Legion and priest. All films from the sort of late Legion and priest. Is that two different guns? Yeah, yeah, that's two different films. Right. Okay. Lovely. Yeah, right. I'm going to fucking have a little bit of a little bit of fun. Bit of fun. Nothing major. Did not like great films, but just like, look, I've a lot of fun to watch.

01:20:47:22 – 01:21:06:18
See, that's what I need. I don't like, I like people of you seen fucking inception is the best fucking thing since sliced bread. I haven't seen it. But then, you know, I have to. I have to dedicate three hours or whatever to it, and I have to sit and watch it, because otherwise I'm not going to get. Yeah, I just want to see a fucking priest of a gun, you know what I mean?

01:21:06:20 – 01:21:41:14
That's right. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Right. Okay. Oh. Yeah. It top it for next week. If you've got any art stuff, lads. And on pod gmail.com, we'll read it out. Now we are going to go onto something only you know. Why something, you know. Do it. Rick. Oh, sorry. I'm sure I've shat my own guns out when I was about 14, 15, maybe 16.

01:21:41:19 – 01:22:08:18
That exact age when you're old enough to drink. But young enough to think consequences are a myth. Me and my mates used to go out with one, go, get unreasonably drunk and cause low level chaos. One night it was me, my mate Charlie and our friend George. George went above and beyond. He drank frosty Jack cider, which is all we know is a less is less a drink and more of a chemical experiment.

01:22:08:22 – 01:22:32:24
Yeah, it's all used to drink white lightning. Sally. So what? What is, is it just fizzy drink made to taste like cider with just alcohol added? I have no idea. It's like drinking paint stripper. But it says cider on it. People. Americans listen to this. Their bottles are really big and thick. A massive. Yeah, yeah, and extremely cheap.

01:22:33:01 – 01:22:54:12
And it gets you fucking paralytic. Like, that's that's what I was drinking when I went to hospital, when I pissed shit and sick to myself. But but it it's not I don't think it's like conventional cider. I think they've just ad created the flavor. Yeah, yeah, but like Coca Cola or Fanta, that's not do. No mean it's just fake.

01:22:54:12 – 01:23:23:19
Yeah yeah, yeah I think that's the same with this. And they've just added alcohol. Yeah. Yeah I think you're right 7.5%. It's fucking mad stuff that which is all we know, probably plus a load of other mystery liquids by the end of the night. George wasn't drunk. He was politically offline. Not surprising. We ended up back at a house party where George collapsed, fully clothed and unconscious.

01:23:23:21 – 01:23:58:00
More important detail. George had a cold and couldn't smell anything. This will matter a lot now mean Charlie being the kind of thoughtful friends the courts warn you about, decided this was the perfect opportunity for a prank. Right in the kitchen. We raided the kitchen cupboards and found two ingredients chocolate digestives and tomato ketchup. We crushed the digestives into crumbs, mixing with ketchup, and created what I can only describe as a deeply convincing reddish brown paste.

01:23:58:02 – 01:24:29:02
Then, like absolute scientists, we shoved it down the back of George's trousers. Right down the pants. Job done. We went to bed laughing ourselves stupid. The next morning, George woke up alone, still half drunk, still unable to smell. He reaches down the back of his trousers and pulls out what looks to him like bloody human waste. In George's mind, there's only one explanation he genuinely believes he shut out his internal organs.

01:24:29:04 – 01:24:59:08
By the time Charlie and I come downstairs, George is sitting bolt upright, pale, shaken and already changed his clothes, looking like a man who has stared into the abyss. And the abyss was in his pants. He quietly tells us he thinks something is seriously wrong then, and this is the best bit. He finds his dad's. He tells his dad in full seriousness, that he believes he shot his organs, and he needs to go to the hospital.

01:24:59:08 – 01:25:21:03
His dad immediately gets in the car to come and get him. At this point, we obviously have to confess before George is wheeled into A&E as a medical mystery. We explain the biscuits that catch up the prank, and that is something only the four of us know. That's great. I mean, I kind of did think that it's horrible when he wakes up.

01:25:21:05 – 01:25:51:07
Yeah. Have you ever done something so wild, like pranking, like, Yeah. I regret it so bad. Well, obviously, these dates have come on something any. You know. Yeah, but they know who I am. Will they be listening to this? Oh, no. No, no, no, I'm saying to people, listen, there's no way up. Okay.

01:25:51:09 – 01:26:12:18
So in in university, you know, this story, I think in university, there was this kid who was horrible, right? Okay. And, he, I can't remember why, but he pissed us off in a big way.

01:26:12:20 – 01:26:40:05
He was just flaunt his money. I can't remember what it was, I can't remember. This is we're talking about literally 25 years ago. Yeah. And, he fell asleep at a house party and we, these girls got their dildos out. Oh. Okay. Good. And then sort of put it in his mouth. Oh, okay. And they took a picture of it and.

01:26:40:07 – 01:27:10:01
What we thought would be funny at the time, I'm like, yeah. Bear in mind, regret this massively. Yeah. Is printing out some pictures of the if him of dildos on it. Yeah. Going around his house while everyone was asleep breaking into his house and putting the pictures all around the house, and then leaving, literally breaking and entering through a window, of dildos of him.

01:27:10:01 – 01:27:37:02
Yeah. Like we committed a crime, not less. A psychological impact on this poor kid, but. But we committed an actual crime of breaking and entering someone's home. You're right. Yeah. The kicker was it was a house we used to live in the year before. So we knew what window we could open to Jimmy. Okay. Yeah. And, you know, there was an investigation.

01:27:37:02 – 01:28:01:15
People like people going to get to getting kicked out of university because of this. No, they didn't know who did it. Obviously, I didn't confess because I didn't want to get kicked out of university to Cambridge. Yeah, I think one person, one person caught copped it, I think not, not on something else, I can't remember. It was a couple of things around his kid that, when I as a kid, he's like fucking early 20s.

01:28:01:15 – 01:28:19:15
But the. Yeah. So that was and like when you think about it, but you didn't think about it like a laugh and it was broken in the house. We put pictures up on the wall. Isn't funny. Yeah. It does in places like stuff. But yeah, but when you think about it, he's over. He's got up in the morning and he's in his home and he's like, there's all these pictures around of him who?

01:28:19:17 – 01:28:39:10
He has no idea who put them up. Yeah. What kind of feeling is that going to create in him? Like with any kind of negative feeling is horrendous. Is it. You know, does he think it's going to create paranoia. He doesn't know who put him up. Is it someone in the house that he lives with? Terrible thing to do.

01:28:39:12 – 01:29:00:20
It is. But sometimes he was a cock is what I would say. Somebody has some. Sometimes people deserve it and it may have gone too far. He went to breaking and entering, may have gone been too far. But at the same time, yeah, boys will be boys in pranks was I think we we would taken mushrooms that evening.

01:29:00:22 – 01:29:24:02
Because I remember I remember drinking mushrooms out of like sirup that made sirup mushroom sort of concoction, you know, right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's. Yeah, that's a good prank email. Okay. It wasn't, it wasn't. I wasn't proud of that. I'll tell you why. For I'd nearly died because of shitting that my organs. Yeah. Cool. I told you about it.

01:29:24:04 – 01:29:45:24
Never eat or be prepared if you eat raw. Well, sorry. Beetroot. Not beetroot from the jar. Beetroot from, You know, when you just buy it as a root vegetable and cook it and prepare it the way you want it fresh, right? Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's not that. Not the vinegar in the jar. No no no no, that does have no impact.

01:29:46:01 – 01:30:09:19
Actually having the fresh root vegetable that you boil up. Yeah. It's lovely. Beautiful. They taste like it's, it's like it's really earthy. Lovely potato. I've never had it like that. No, I don't, I've only had it once, to be fair like that. And this time I learned that what comes out of your ass. Not just that, more crucially, when you have a wee, is bright red.

01:30:09:21 – 01:30:30:12
Oh, God. And I'm like, I've pooped. Yeah, I've done a poo. And I'm looking down as I just read, it's I'm shitting blood. And I'm thinking, oh, God. I'm thinking, that's bad, that's that's bad, that's bad. And then I needed a way and I don't know, I'll have a wee first think about what this is. Yeah. Now, cancer, some kind of diet, bowel cancer as well.

01:30:30:12 – 01:30:50:06
So I was like, oh, I'm not pleased about cancer. And then I started pissing and it was red. And I'm like, that's double whammy. You complaining a piss I'm doing oh yeah, yeah I'm dead. And I remember how the window now. Yeah, I might as well. But it was ground floor, so. And and so I just sat down at the table and I was, like, crestfallen.

01:30:50:06 – 01:31:07:20
Just blood in your piss. Blood in your shit. That's not. Yeah. So bad, isn't it? I thought maybe. Yeah, maybe there are other explanations for why and maybe ain't too bad. But at that time, I was just panicking in a big stage for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think and I think him. But the kids are not up.

01:31:07:22 – 01:31:33:14
And Ollie's and up and I'm like, I tell him, oh, this is when you with Ollie. This is like three years ago. It. This is not three years ago. Makes it more funny. Yeah. And I'm and, you know, and I think Ollie is going to come down. And the first thing she's going to hear is me say I've got, I've got blood in my poo and my and my urine.

01:31:33:16 – 01:31:53:06
How am I going to tell her that like that? I have to tell her. But it's a lawsuit. Yeah. And I've got my head in my hands and I'm looked down and they're still like, we eat in the night before. And I noticed you just left the washing up there. Yeah, yeah. And I've looked down and just seen the beetroot and I'm like fucking now bears the beetroot.

01:31:53:06 – 01:32:14:22
So I opened my computer up and asked about, you know, can raw beetroot get, make your blood and we Brett pink. Yeah. And we. Yes. And 80% of people people can't break down the tannins and so it comes out in your waist. And I was like oh my God. And I'm not I ain't getting yes. So it's like anybody has it and it happens the next day.

01:32:14:22 – 01:32:42:24
Don't panic. The beetroot. Have you ever eaten beetroot since I love beetroot. Yeah yeah I love, I don't think about it because a bit of a pain in the ass to to cook. Yeah, yeah, yeah I've never.
