#28 | social clout chasers | the dark arts of social revealed

00:00:00:00 – 00:00:15:08
Are you going to be coughing and spluttering for this entire episode? No, no, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. If you are, I'm not doing it.

00:00:15:10 – 00:00:46:03
The night hazy light. Band of brothers. Playing tunes high is quite midnight. Waves surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm hit us different ways. Love of music. We prayed with our tongues in cheek. Banners. And we like to speak. And yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers. With our tongues in cheek. Banters. How we like to speak.

00:00:46:05 – 00:01:10:01
Are we even trust? Hello and welcome to anonymous. It's episode 28, a podcast with two best mates of over 20 years invite you to join their safe space where all manner of subjects will be discussed. We'll focus on a specific subject matter first and then ask a question. So lemmas or need for advice or handled anonymously. So sit back, relax and enjoy the pod.

00:01:10:02 – 00:01:26:01
Things might be changing somewhat though. We hear it. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Stop bringing in new bits of the podcast. It will always be my. We don't need we don't need to do a dilemma or something. And you know, every week keep them on their toes, shift it up a little bit. So you might have to rewrite the intro.

00:01:26:03 – 00:01:45:13
Never stays the same. Even if if we went to like a rugby podcast or something like that. Same intro. Okay, I like that. Okay. Did you see that shark in the Thames? Yeah, I did stream, so how many times I've seen it? About 400 times. About 400 people of different people sent it to me and the cocaine shark this week at that.

00:01:45:15 – 00:02:03:18
Like, yeah, that's the I like that of the cocaine. What is the deal with that. So cocaine, the cocaine shock. Yeah. It's common. It's actually much more common than people think. It's not the like I like that it sounds like cocaine bear like the cocaine. The sharks are taking cocaine. It's like biting everybody. It's not that obviously. It's.

00:02:03:18 – 00:02:26:04
It's that there is sewage going into the sea, in the ocean and rivers and stuff. Raw sewage. And because of the amount of cocaine that gets done, almost any metropolitan city in the world, copious amounts of cocaine gets done, like there are people out there that think that cocaine is like a niche thing. You know, that my my mum, for example, we think like cocaine.

00:02:26:08 – 00:02:54:17
It's not. It's fucking everywhere. It's everywhere. It's in every pub, every office building everywhere. This drug is everywhere. Don't get that. Isn't there some crazy stat that like 80% of British Bank nine traces of cocaine? I think it's almost all of them. I think they did not. They did like a swap in, Houses of Parliament in the toilets and like X amount of toilets in that had traces of cocaine.

00:02:54:18 – 00:03:21:20
All of them had it all. Yeah. It's everywhere, it's everywhere. Anyway, the point is, and the reason why we know it's everywhere is because through raw sewage and you can imagine how my new to volume of cocaine that makes up raw sewage might be. There's so much of it that it's infecting marine life. So before the sharks, you had crustaceans and shrimp and, you know, crabs, things like that.

00:03:21:22 – 00:03:40:11
They were testing positive for it. Groups of fish. And now it's sharks. And that sharks are more interesting, isn't it? Coke sharks on cocaine is an interesting story, but it's actually quite an old story. I, I don't know why, I because I saw it and I had loads of people send it to me, and I thought I assumed that that's what was going on.

00:03:40:11 – 00:04:05:02
But I also kind of wanted to, you know, when you see, like massive parcels of cocaine that are just washed up on shore and stuff like I wanted. Yeah. I thought like a group of shark was just nuzzling and one of them, that would be better. Unfortunately, it's not as interesting as that. Ricky, if you if you'd found one of them, have you seen, like, we've all seen it in films like there's this package wrapped up package in plastic and say, yeah, yeah.

00:04:05:02 – 00:04:27:04
And you say like, there's like ten kilos of gear. Yeah. What do you do? What? What do you think you would do? I think I would probably take a brick for myself and then report the rest. Would you? Yeah. I think I would, because it's just you can't not take not take some. No, no, you don't want ten kilos either.

00:04:27:06 – 00:04:44:20
Yeah. I'm not saying it's per se. I'm not saying I'm like, I'm just going to do it all myself a brick. What I'm saying is that there's an opportunity and whether or not you do anything with it, just, you know, just have it on standby in the loft. I put that brick in your face. Yeah. Now, what you going to do with it?

00:04:44:22 – 00:05:13:05
What are you going to do with it? That is the, iconic song brick in Your Face by stitches. Nice. Is he still about, is reformed. Completely reformed. I'm okay. No more cocaine, no drugs. He doesn't deal anymore. He's regretful of his past. He's a newborn guy. Oh, I put that in your face. Rick? Yeah? Would you be able to.

00:05:13:11 – 00:05:31:24
What would the plan be? You just keep it in the loft and have a little bit every now and then? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean, I mean, you probably would have to sample to see how pure is it is on the page any, see, who's going there. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Yeah. After any fear that whoever owns it might come and get you.

00:05:32:01 – 00:05:55:06
Look, they would know there's no CCTV on the beach. It's. Sir, they might have been in a boat going to get it. And you're saying you like. I can just imagine that there's a perfect cube of packages and, like, there's 14 out of 15 and the police look at you just say, there's 14, I think, and one that's just been unwrapped in the corner and it's miraculously gone.

00:05:55:06 – 00:06:18:06
Yeah. Where has it gone? Sorry about that. Sorry to tell us. So if you get that bloody plastic for that plastic moment, I just, I, I would legitimately go to try and sell it. Rick. I'd find a way of. I'm sure you'd be the amount of dealers you I want you do like I wouldn't want a kilo of cocaine anywhere near me.

00:06:18:10 – 00:06:39:18
That would be bad for me. Yeah, yeah. Okay. That that would. So let's sell it. How about what's the street value of a kilo? Cocaine. But what I like to the point where you would be cutting it down yourself and, you know, bulk, you just do one kind of PR, give me some good money, and we're off.

00:06:39:20 – 00:07:08:03
Yeah, well, a kilo is worth, it's too complicated. Pure cocaine. I can't find the answer. It's gotta be thousands, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three kilograms worth to €200,000. According to, the Irish Times. The, So. True story. Someone I know. Rick, I think you might know this story or not. When Meow meow was big.

00:07:08:05 – 00:07:26:02
Yeah. Day. Yeah. Those that don't know to American listeners might not know there was a period where we would be a lot of people. Not we would be not me or Rick. We would not partake in this one. The drug called meow meow or m cat. And yet it was 10 pound a gram and it was pure, 100 and pure.

00:07:26:08 – 00:07:43:23
And you order online, it would come to your it's not via door but would come to someone's door and in the shape of plant fertilizer. That's what it was called, plant food. And you do a tiny line and you'd be fly. And it was like exiting. Cocaine was mixed into one and the comedown was one of the worst for they come down.

00:07:43:23 – 00:08:04:12
It was horrendous. It wasn't even worth the high. But yet we do it every week. And anyway, as it was getting, pandemic, it was going to be banned. It became a national story. 4 or 5 people died from taking it, although as it turned out, transpired rather 4 or 5 months later when the toxicity reports come through, they didn't have any inside the system.

00:08:04:14 – 00:08:26:01
Just that the press reported it. Therefore, the, the, the government banned it. And actually the head whoever fronts up the science and testing or I think maybe David Nutt might be remembering this in completely incorrectly, but he resigned on the back of this substance being banned. I might be butchering this, but someone resigned if that, because there was no evidence.

00:08:26:05 – 00:08:45:03
And from their position they were evidence based. Is this dangerous? We don't know because we were unable to test it. The government went no press to mad this moral panic. Let's ban the drug. So someone I know for great. This is an opportunity for me. I'm buying a kilo of the fucking shit. And then as soon as it's banned, I'm going to sell it to a dealer.

00:08:45:03 – 00:09:12:12
And he did it. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's that's some good foresight. I mean, business in business. Yeah. Business news. Is this all right? Did you know on, Spotify that you can now? I mean, you could leave comments before, but we can actually reply to comments. So under each episode you can comment under an episode and we can now reply someone.

00:09:12:14 – 00:09:34:15
The first comment came in, swap out dilemmas for embarrassing stories like yeah, yeah, let me just say it's not the same as of only you know. No, just, because it might be loads of people that know about the embarrassing stories. Okay, so we just go on on what you said. Good mix and match of the pod will do whatever we want.

00:09:34:16 – 00:10:04:24
I've just had a great idea, Ricky. Gone. Right. So we were we were we were going to bring in a question and answer section to the podcast. A bit of a mailbag, but surely Spotify. I like it when people are using and communicating through their platform. I asking questions. Yeah. When you're listening to this, go to Spotify, go to this episode 28 and leave your whatever questions you have for us or anything you want us to talk about.

00:10:05:01 – 00:10:32:10
Leave them in the episode comment section. Yes, we were required to them, but then we will also do it on the pod next week or the week after. Any question, anything you can think of and we'll answer it. Yes. Last episode right. You mentioned something as a topic to cover, and I didn't think there would be that much in coverage.

00:10:32:14 – 00:11:07:06
Interest questions, sharp emails. No. Oh, it was about bomb House and it was about things going in, in coming out and just, just discussing that now, that's the packing situation. I had no idea that this was running through the streets of Britain and America. It's it's it's in vogue. In Vogue? Yeah. Rampant. There was a lot of interest, so I think we will probably stick to a topic on that because there were so many people.

00:11:07:07 – 00:11:24:12
What are you going to title it? Bearing in mind people need to see the title when it's selecting. Is it buttonholes in or out where. Yeah. It were. We'll, we'll come up with with a more catchy, more catchy than that bum inside or out. But we'll, we'll, we get flagged though, if it's called, bum House.

00:11:24:14 – 00:11:58:13
Ooh. Sphincter. Possibly that you might, it might not like it. But we'll think of that later. But, I cannot believe the amount of interest where people have, you know, they come out, they they've literally come out of the bubble closet to to they finally found a safe space to talk about what they enjoy. Go goes in and what they don't enjoy going in and what should just come out.

00:11:58:13 – 00:12:29:22
So there will be a topic on that. And, on the topic of masculinity, someone did actually send in a question that I thought we would try and answer. Okay. Hi, mate. I'm just listening to the latest lads pod, and I thought it would be interesting to get your take on something along the lines of masculinity. We've just had our second child, and part of the deal to have a second is that I take the time off.

00:12:29:24 – 00:12:59:19
So the missus is having nine weeks off and then I'm having seven months off. People's reactions have been mostly shocked. Yeah, even a woman from the NCT group questioned my wife's love for our children. Well that's outrageous. What's your view? That's outrageous. Right. It's no one's business. Exactly. It's absolutely nobody's business. And and it's NCT. Yeah, but for her to make any moral judgment on you is is is crazy.

00:12:59:19 – 00:13:34:23
You should fucking anyway, however, I think is it there is a well-worn path and one that's supremely successful in that children need their mum biologically. Yeah. And there's a reason, you know. I think ideally the baby would be with its mum for the first nine months or for eight months. That that would be my preference if it was my child.

00:13:35:00 – 00:14:03:05
Yeah. Not so the father can't bring a child up. Yeah, but isn't it like there is? It's nature isn't. It's. What is. Yeah. I mean, is there some, like, some parts of nature the man does the upbringing. Seahorses for example, is this man a little seahorses. He, they, they male seahorses do that. They, they, they're impregnated and then.

00:14:03:07 – 00:14:28:24
Well, I don't know how it works, but I know that male seahorses carry the babies. They they. Yeah. And then they shoot them out of a little hole and these tiny little seahorses just get fucking get, yeeted into the sea. I think I quite like, Yeah. I say from, my personal experience when my Mrs. and I, when we had our children, there was, there was two routes basically.

00:14:28:24 – 00:14:56:13
So the, the woman, when she would have had maternity leave, would return back to her job that she was doing, and then the children would go into nursery or childcare and then the other kind of, route you could go was that the mum would be part time work and fit her. I was seeing around children and there would be no childcare and stuff like that.

00:14:56:15 – 00:15:21:24
So basically what you're doing is the the woman would be going to work and the money that she earns actually just go straight into nursery and childcare costs because that's how expensive it is. My, my missus and I, we wanted to have our children at home with us, amongst us, us, you know, teaching them right from wrong and just growing up and being around us a lot more.

00:15:21:24 – 00:15:45:14
So we went down that route with the part time work, less money coming into the house, a lot less money, and it's fucking hard. But we didn't want to have our kids away from us. Now the matey here, he's going to be with his child. I respect that man because his child is going to be grown up with even one of his parents.

00:15:45:14 – 00:16:08:22
That's going to be there all the time. So to follow that, there's some parents who just bugger off and have a nanny or put them in grandparents. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. She's fine as well. Whatever. I mean, so all you got to do is whatever is right for you, whatever feels right. Don't fucking worry about what other people are saying and judging and telling you what to do when acting shocked and do know that.

00:16:08:22 – 00:16:27:03
Fuck them if it's right. If it's right for you. Mrs.. And it's right for you. You do what's right for your family. Pull the shots down and never speak to anyone again. And really, is it going to make much difference? Really. Yeah. The kid growing up is if as long as it's love, they'll be fine. Yeah. Too many people, too many opinions.

00:16:27:03 – 00:16:58:06
That's the problem. Yeah. So before we jump into the topic for today, do you want to mention again British Podcast Awards Listeners Choice Award.

We've got absolutely no chance. Why not. Because we were six weeks late in no. That crappy. So it's just the amount of votes you get. That's what it is I don't know, I think it's just like, what's the point? What we even bothering for? I don't know, it can't be that like, it must be it. There's a certain number of votes someone fucking listens to see if they like it.

00:18:03:13 – 00:18:17:18
It can't just be the people at the most votes. It's not going to do a quality, is it? It's just who's got the biggest audience. Doesn't make any sense. If that's what it is. I don't even want to go now. Okay, well, well, I'm hoping it's, more of what you're saying. Yeah, that somebody will listen to me, like.

00:18:17:18 – 00:19:03:13
Yeah, these, this is the listeners fucking people's podcasts. I if you could do us a favor and do that for us, we're going to jump into today's topic now, which is social clout chasers. Now. So if you're unaware of what a clout chaser is, clout chasing is when somebody is out there hustling on Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, any social media to get attention they're craving recognition for likes, follows video of you, shares whatever, and hope that this will lead to kind of, an aspirational lifestyle style, to become an influencer, to live that certain lifestyle.

00:19:03:18 – 00:19:26:19
Now, I want to, before we get into this, I want to, prefix this is how you say it. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so social media is a game, and the goal is to get your message across no matter how you do it. Right. And Flav and I both have podcasts. What we do is marketing, right.

00:19:26:21 – 00:19:54:14
Social media. It's nothing to do with gaming the system and you know, if Flav is working on the fighting cock and he goes to Arsenal, I af TV and plans to do a fake punch up, then yeah, he's trying to game the system to get likes and clicks and shares. You know what? So that's completely different. But what we want to go into is the kind of industry in social that drives influencer narratives.

00:19:54:15 – 00:20:19:19
Yeah, pretty much who've chosen nefarious ways to gain traction. The I want to go straight in right in there. Paedo hunters. Yeah. You've had a bugbear about it is my I just I don't what's wrong with it. Right. They're getting they're getting PDAs off the streets are they. I mean, it's just like so they're not if you if you want to not.

00:20:19:20 – 00:20:54:09
Okay. So what's happening is there are like vigilante groups that are calling themselves guardians, of communities of where you live, and they are setting up fake profiles and they are talking to people, more than likely men, old men. And they are setting up meets to meet with underage girls. They're pretending to be underage girls. And then they are setting up these old perverts to either meet up, do whatever.

00:20:54:09 – 00:21:14:20
It's like a trap and it is a trap. And then in the end, what happens? They gather all this evidence of the messages, the photos, all of that, and they turn up to their houses, knock on the door and interview them at the door as to say, are you going to do this anymore? Is this you? And get them all on video and get it out there?

00:21:14:22 – 00:21:37:20
Some of them that I've seen is that they find them on the streets and they just walk in time and they get them, and then there's a humiliation element. So they admit to doing all these messages and they say, right, we're not going to go to the police if you eat this till the cat food. Really, if you eat this kind of dog food or they just beat them up.

00:21:37:20 – 00:22:04:21
Now, okay. The, the kind of the service of getting nonce nonces off the street, I totally get that. And they are fucking. No, no one wants a payday living down their street. But I don't know what goes into it. Like are they? I don't know how it works. Are they purposely just messaging loads of people to see what fish will bite?

00:22:04:23 – 00:22:32:00
Yeah, some of them try some. You can imagine what like this wiki. They they've basically set up. So there there's a couple of things you mentioned there. One, there are legitimate groups of people, whether you like them or not, with their sole aim is to protect young people. Yeah. And they set up Facebook groups and then they find, try and find people that were willing to meet, children online and with the hope that they end up having sex with them.

00:22:32:00 – 00:22:51:07
And what they do is like a honey trap system where they, pretending to be 13 year old girls and boys talking to people they know are interested in this, in the event that they can arrange for them to meet up. And when they meet up, they sting them because there's no kid. Obviously, they're talking to adults that entire time.

00:22:51:09 – 00:23:16:22
And they and and often when you've seen some of these videos, they're not that they're not like eat the dog food, beat them up. They are, most somewhat not sympathetic, but like there is there is a human aspect to it. So that's one side of it. The other thing is what you just said, Rick, which is the people that hate them, the PDAs, they love them.

00:23:16:22 – 00:23:35:15
It's almost if like something had happened to them, or maybe they know someone that has been like molested or something, and they're the ones that go after them in that. In that way. The problem you got here, Rick, you know, so we won't go to the police. Because, you know, if you eat this kind of dog food.

00:23:35:17 – 00:24:04:18
Yeah. They can't go to the police. None of them can fly because they haven't committed a crime. They're not talking to a minor. They're talking to an adult. Doesn't matter what they think they are doing what they do, and they they haven't committed any crime. So. So they know they can't go to the police more. Moreover, what they're trying to do is, you know, collect a space, they manage to collect evidence.

00:24:04:18 – 00:24:23:23
And there was like indecent images. That's one thing. But these are having conversations and trying to set them up so they can kibosh them. So it's my understanding that there isn't any, any crime. And then that's why you're seeing some of these influencers. Now, Rick moved down that path only like so. These are not pedo hunters. These are influencers seen an opportunity.

00:24:24:00 – 00:24:48:04
That's right. So there is a so I'm not going to I'm going to try to not be kind of naming influencers and stuff like that. But I put it out there where you can say that I am not sending for people basically like beefing or anything like that. But there is a gentleman called, I think it's Ed Mathews, the Zed Mathews, there's another guy, an American one called Vitale.

00:24:48:06 – 00:25:10:18
Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that one. Yeah. It's like the kind of the first one of the influencers to to do this. So it's that same reading. Find some young kids. But he was taking kids along with him. He was putting kids in the room. And then or men, the boys that weren't kids but look young. There was one that sorry, we're going all over.

00:25:10:20 – 00:25:27:09
This is what they said. This is if you haven't seen this, this is CS up me into into what you were saying is they do the set up. They get this I think it was at a launderette or something. And the man goes in, in this room and there's three boys in there. Oh like they're, they're not boys and children.

00:25:27:09 – 00:25:49:04
They're probably over the age of consent, but they just chosen because they look young and they've all got the tops off, like, and then at that point, then Vitale goes in and stings him, that is. But he's live streaming. He's live streaming this all the time. It's not clipped up netted later. He is live streaming to the internet.

00:25:49:04 – 00:26:09:08
All of this all the time that he three people are watching this live stream. Naturally he's he's big big like he's lots of people like him. No, you're talking like maybe tens of thousands of people are watching him. I'm not saying that they know where he is, Rick. And so he pulls this guy out and he's live streaming saying this guy's opinion about not evidence.

00:26:09:08 – 00:26:29:02
But I mean, it is evidence based because he's got what he's got. But this isn't this is a public court. This is nothing to do with the legal system at all. And lo and behold, a gangster comes out of nowhere like, I don't know what you. Let's forget it. Just someone who's involved, right? Yeah. And he just smashes the guy, just smashes him.

00:26:29:04 – 00:26:58:14
Punches in multi cut. He's fucked. And then Vitale's arrested. Fatalities. Arrested because he's committed a crime. Because I saw one of those, from that Vitale guy and he made some geezer drink piss, like, he, like, pissed in a bottle. Yeah. And made him drink paste. And I was like. Like. I mean, I know that, like, they're they're pros in that scum, but, like, shouldn't the police be dealing with this and and why is it why is it all my time like.

00:26:58:16 – 00:27:20:11
Well what what was it for everyone I don't understand. Well, you could never go to court. He could never go to court. They could never be a they could couldn't find a jury that would be fair and balanced because everyone's seen it. A jury, jurors would have made their mind up before the before the case would even be heard.

00:27:20:13 – 00:27:45:19
There is a police officer that listens to Lads Anonymous. They've emailed in a couple of times. Really? Yeah. And they gave out a massive list. I can't remember what the list is for. Maybe like an episode of drugs or something like that. If you're listening, can you please email us in and explain to us this whole kind of phenomenon and where people stand and what the legality, legality of it?

00:27:45:19 – 00:28:19:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know can people yeah. Can people be actually prosecuted or is it all for show? Now, the gentleman that I spoke about before at at Matthews, I think his name is he hangs around with another TikTok influencer. And basically they're like lads that with the Rolex watches, cars, women, alpha males, those those guys. Right. And I think he tried to he saw that there was an opportunity for social clout doing pedophile hunting.

00:28:20:02 – 00:28:42:22
And he's got involved in it and he got arrested himself because I don't know I don't know if he got involved in there was any violence or anything like that. He got arrested himself. Now, again, we're going to go into this bit further. But he was arrested. It was in he was on hold for like a day or two days.

00:28:42:22 – 00:29:02:21
And then he was released on bail. But I don't know whether any of that was true or whether he arrested. But I don't know, I don't know, it was it was to do with, catch him pedophiles. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was to do it because there's been this outcry of he's doing a public service. Why are you arresting him now?

00:29:02:21 – 00:29:24:01
I don't know if this actually feeds into that, this narrative that they've created for even more clicks. I don't even know if it is real or not. Do you know? I mean, I don't know what's real anymore. Well, they understand. They understand what? So that their what's their job? Their job is to be as relevant in inverted commas as possible all the time.

00:29:24:03 – 00:29:44:07
And you've seen what these influencers do that they, they will they will essentially do anything. They'll make fools of themselves. They'll make content that they don't believe in. They'll break the law. Whatever it is that gets the views and the likes, they're, they're they're psychopathic in their attempt to to create content that just people can't get enough of.

00:29:44:07 – 00:30:03:24
And I say people, I mean everybody, I'm going to select the type of people that, that, that enjoys this type of content, I guess. But he, he would have he would have just seen what what was happening elsewhere. Can I do that? Not knowing that he's breaking laws. You can't stand up at someone's house. He's knocking on people's doors when they're trying to get in their house and stuff.

00:30:03:24 – 00:30:22:05
You. Yeah. You're not a police officer. You don't have a you can't get in just because you think there's a crime committed, and you may be convinced of it. You can't you cannot go into someone's house and do x, Y, and Z and the problem is I. Yeah, got a gun. Well, just like you send people, he's doing a public service.

00:30:22:05 – 00:30:43:12
He's doing a public service. If it if it came from a position where if I genuinely care about this and I want to make this better, then you could be sympathetic to some degree about why he's doing it. I don't agree with paedo hunters or how they go about their business, but for some of them, there was a great episode.

00:30:43:14 – 00:31:09:09
I think it was. It might have been, undercover Stories on by Ladbible if I remember rightly, they talked to someone who was a pedo, Hannah and he he talks about it from behind, you know, as a matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I see so you when you speak to this, as much as he hated pedophiles, he wasn't, he wasn't he was coming from a position of experiencing abuse and wanting to prevent it from happening.

00:31:09:09 – 00:31:27:01
That is an honest place to come from. Even if you disagree with their methods. And then these people can go, oh, no, he's getting scum off the streets. The reason he's doing it. And this is where the this is where the conversation point is, is he's not doing it for the kids. He's doing it merely because people will watch him do it.

00:31:27:03 – 00:31:46:14
Yeah. So in that instance, you don't want people like that fucking all of the good work that some of these people do. Moreover, what the police are doing, you are fucking jeopardizing trials. Yeah, you fucking moron. I mean, you listen to the geezer talk and all of them. Him, all of them, they are. They understand TikTok. They understand it works.

00:31:46:14 – 00:32:06:00
They understand what catches people's attention. Yeah, but you could never fucking put conversation down the pub of him. No. Oh, God. No. Jesus, man. Imagine if if like we saw that opportunity, decided to go around doing that. Like man, you with a clipboard. Look at some of the we think you've been messaging some European what you're going to do.

00:32:06:02 – 00:32:31:13
What are you going to do about it to each other. Yeah. No that one okay. Because the first batch you just got down the pipe. Yeah. Yeah. Stream in seven minutes long. And that's, that's the problem Ricky is, is, is they don't give a shit. They are simply making content. And that's so scary. What? That's one of the, the the kind of bits that you touched on there.

00:32:31:15 – 00:33:13:10
I want to go back to. So it's this understanding of TikTok or Instagram, whatever, and knowing the kind of ingredients that go into it to produce content that gets those clicks and watch, watch times, all of that stuff, pranks, pranks that are hugely staged, you know what's going to happen. But I still find myself watching it because I'm so annoyed that it's such it's so easy to see that it's a prank, but I'm still kind of like watching it.

00:33:13:12 – 00:33:34:11
What do you say? Staged? What? You. Because the ones that irritate me more are the ones that they just approach normal people who, you know, are just trying to get on with their day? Yeah, they do horrendous things to them. Like, yeah, the one with the guy who slaps people's girlfriend's asses. Jesus Christ, I haven't seen that. Yeah.

00:33:34:11 – 00:34:00:11
It's horrible like you. So not only use sexual assault in women, you're also creating a scenario where someone either has to fight because they feel affronted and they want to protect their girlfriend's aura, or where they hate fight and they scared or fired. They're humiliated in front of the girlfriend. For your fucking Twitter account, for your TikTok account, like anyone tries to stop you.

00:34:00:12 – 00:34:27:19
Don't do it. Don't mate. Don't be that content that just that it's that that's wild. Yeah, there's a lot of that stuff that's happening at the moment. You kind of the, the vox pops in the streets. Everyone's chasing that one sentence, you know, the Hulk tour, anything like that? Yeah. It's, the internet is a very strange place at the moment.

00:34:27:21 – 00:34:48:20
Well, I think it always has been. But, like, the pranks that I hate is that, you know, that my kids watch them and they're on YouTube, and it's like they'll look at the camera and do the shushing thing. I mean, oh. I'm going to go on, pop this balloon on this person's head, and then they're behind this person for like 15 minutes doing shushing.

00:34:48:22 – 00:35:16:04
Then they showed the nail. Then they show the balloon. I'm going to pop it over their head. And it's not this would never happen. This is mental. It's got to be a certain amount of minutes at a certain time for them to monetize it. Yeah, exactly. And all of this goes into monetizing watch time. It's just what have we become of as like the the human race of watching this.

00:35:16:04 – 00:35:36:07
And like I admit, I'm scrolling through TikTok. I'm scrolling through reels for half hour watching this type of stuff. It's mad and even like to our our love of sharks, the amount of videos that people send to me about sharks, God knows how many since. Yeah, and they say, I may be seeing this and you're like, that's not real.

00:35:36:09 – 00:35:54:18
Like there's a, there's a famous one of some guy jumping off a pier because he's going to get something. And then the camera dips under the water is great. Right. So there's two versions of that Rick fucking oh man, that's so the first one. There's one when you go in and you can often see there's going to be a white because it bubbles happen.

00:35:54:18 – 00:36:12:19
And what if you see like loads of bubbles. It means that they've wiped off another bit of footage. Right. Right. But there is one. And I don't know if it's real or not where a man jumps in the pier. It may be the same one, but it isn't cut with this image and you see a thick fin in the water, and it's about 20ft away from him, and he's by the pier and he's friends, a guy.

00:36:12:19 – 00:36:37:02
And there's a shot. The shark! Get out! Get to the steps. There's someone who created an edit, and it's, like, insanely tense. It's horrible because you're looking at it from the perspective of, you're in the water with him. It's from his GoPro. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think it's I think it's the same one, but it's it maybe it's been cut with loads of different bits and pieces to maybe there is one that's come up with a great white shark and you can tell it's just not near the pier.

00:36:37:03 – 00:37:01:20
That's that, that one see it. But it's like I'm spending a lot of time watching videos like this. I don't even know what is what's really. No. Yeah. No. Right. What what what he's got like what is going on like that and this. And another thing is, well, that I wanted to chat about is this again what's real?

00:37:01:21 – 00:37:33:19
What's not real? Influencers that stay or rent apartments, rent houses, they all create these content in different rooms and stuff like that. And then they hatch plans so that the there's an influencer crossover, there's an audience crossover where they will create some story and travel down this narrative so that or create something so that they will get even more clicks, views and stuff like that.

00:37:33:19 – 00:37:56:12
So there's a there's a gentleman at the moment, his name is Bevo. And, Bevo is fined on TikTok for, eating food. But what he's most famous for is that he doesn't. People notice he doesn't choose food. He just swallows it like a a whole rice potato. He takes one bite and it swallow it. Yeah. And he sort of looks like he's choking.

00:37:56:14 – 00:38:26:03
Yeah. For a second. Yeah, I got it for the content. But he's come out on his channel to say he wanted to live the influencer life. He started being with certain people online and it's all gone horribly wrong. No one likes him anymore. This, that and the other. He's lost his girlfriend. And then in the next video, he's back to his influencer lifestyle and it's like, has he just made that up?

00:38:26:03 – 00:38:58:11
Like is he was still like, no, I don't understand what's real anymore and what's kind of like that's plotted out. Like I don't I think he. He's he understands TikTok almost as good as anybody else. And he understands how to work it. And as much as he is an influencer, he's more he just understand what works on that platform.

00:38:58:11 – 00:39:18:04
There's a difference between someone who's gained traction because they're an expert in something like, yeah, I don't know. There's other stuff on Tik Tok, which is good, right? Is it Guy? A blond guy is probably the biggest TikTok in the world now. He just does news. He reports on interesting, quirky stuff around the planet. Yeah, no, I'm talking about blond hair and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:18:08 – 00:39:37:21
And he. So he'll find some news that I wouldn't, I wouldn't have found elsewhere. And I want to watch it because it's information I wouldn't have got. And it was interesting. These massive right. So that's talent and hard work and and and he's and he's yeah he's putting the work in to give you something you don't necessarily have already bro is gone.

00:39:37:21 – 00:40:01:04
There's another aspect to Tik Tok where it's like, well this is weird. Let's watch more of him. So Beavis gone like done the weird route and I don't think he has a problem eating food at all. I don't think he chews once, then swallows. He just knew people and think this is odd and then we get traction. They say for people that don't know, millions of people are watching him.

00:40:01:06 – 00:40:27:15
Yeah. One, two. He's food. But he's also realized this isn't going to last forever. I can't just eat a single man. Like, eat my food in the way that I eat forever. People are going to get bored, so just gets more and more weird. Yeah. And, and he's an odd guy that you cannot help but watch. And because he has this sort of smug attitude, you want him to fail.

00:40:27:17 – 00:40:55:02
And I'm, I'm not comparing Bieber to Mayweather, Floyd Mayweather in any way. Right. But in terms of what he is, say to tick TikTok, you want to see him fail. So you keep watching like he you know, it's it's he he understands the system and it's shit. Don't get me wrong. What he produces is garbage. There is absolutely no value for me, the user to his existence.

00:40:55:02 – 00:41:21:10
Asshole. Yeah, but he does know how to make you watch his videos. Do you think, these platforms, the algorithms that people have learned how to hack it, people have learned how to play up to those certain emotions that are going to people. Do you do you think they're responsible? Do you think they should be doing something about it?

00:41:21:10 – 00:41:46:20
So because like I saying, I've just got this thing that I don't know what I'm watching anymore. I don't know what's real, what is a what's fabricated, what's been played out behind some kind of office. And they've planned all these narratives that they're going to do and spin off. So yeah, but I have no understanding of what I'm watching that what's true anymore, I the assumption is that it's all shit.

00:41:47:00 – 00:42:05:16
It's all like there's a thing where he got mugged in the States when he was shop in the States. He got mugged by real. But the portant thing is, Rick, is it? Just as long as you don't care whether it's real or not, it doesn't matter. Okay. Yeah. Wouldn't it? Paedo hunters there maybe even these have be concerned somewhat at what their motives might be.

00:42:05:16 – 00:42:24:09
But what Beaver is doing is just being a knob and, you know, fun. No, you don't care about it. He's all right. But with Ed Matthews is a little bit more like. So he, you know, he's adopted. He's had friends like other influencers, but he often go to make friends with influencers or TikTok personalities is probably better, right?

00:42:24:15 – 00:42:48:17
Yeah. And they might have learning difficulties or cerebral palsy was one of the ones right. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Friended these people. And there's a lot of concern about is he exploiting them. Is he feeding off of it. So there's one guys the he was I can't remember what his name is Scottish lad and he had a stroke and I think he also has cerebral palsy.

00:42:48:19 – 00:43:12:10
And he Ed Matthews drove up to spend two weeks of him, took him out, took him shopping, taught him how to talk to birds, women, bought him trainers, took him to the zoo, that kind of thing. And you watch it, you watch it. Rick. And you think this is actually quite wholesome? It's quite wholesome. Like he's having a good life, he's enjoying.

00:43:12:10 – 00:43:30:19
He's is experiencing things and and hanging out with someone he wouldn't have normally been able to hang out with. But his parents were really concerned. So what are you. Get out of this. Why are you here? And we are. He's the only reason he's Eric is because it's content. They even called him Timmy. He's in a wheelchair. Timmy from South Park.

00:43:30:21 – 00:43:55:05
Timmy? That's what I used to call him. Timmy. Jesus. Yeah. It's. Yeah, I mean, the whole kind of. Again, not. You've just mentioned there with people like, filming it, doing a good deed. Murray, to a homeless person, or they, giving a kid from a, you know, a poor neighborhood. They say, what's your dream? Kind of, present?

00:43:55:05 – 00:44:20:11
And then I'd say, oh, Jordans or something like that. And then they'd go and buy them 100 as a Jordans, and it's like, what? Like what's going on? Like, all this is all for clicks and shares and like, it's just money. It's a crazy. It's a career. Like crazy, crazy, a short lived crazy. Can't love live forever. But what, do you have any?

00:44:20:13 – 00:44:48:18
I wouldn't say like, internet personalities or influencers or accounts that you watch that are that are. Maybe they're not that big, but you just enjoy watching them, sir. Mine. Yeah. There's a guy, he's called the Leek detective. Right? He mainly goes to people swimming pools, and they say my swimming pool is leafy overnight. It's gone down an inch, and he finds where the leak is.

00:44:48:19 – 00:45:05:16
That's because he does own all these tactics and techniques and stuff to find where the leak is. I fucking love it. Love it. Is it coming from the swimming pool like is it coming from the flow pipes? Is it coming out and it's gotta dig up the pavements. I don't know where the league is, but he knows he finds it.

00:45:05:16 – 00:45:24:07
Yeah. So this is good. So this. Do you mean to sort of wholesome, weird TikTok accounts that wouldn't exist without TikTok? Yeah yeah yeah I right so people know this but the bees woman saving the bees. She talks really odd. Again, another way to captivate people on TikTok is it'd be a bit odd. And she just talks a bit like these.

00:45:24:09 – 00:45:52:15
And another great day saving the bees. So do you know what I'm talking about? Notes. Right. You love this, right? So so this is a a, a colony, a is it right? Colony of bees. Yeah. Yeah, they, they sometimes they go, this is great. But then it happens to be, you know, the garage where someone lives and they're like, oh, don't a fucking nester bees or a bassett beehive better call this woman instead of exterminate.

00:45:52:15 – 00:46:10:18
And what she does is goes in with, portable racks. You know, ladies, they like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she, she goes to the thing, she goes to the beehive and she finds the queen. She removed the queen and the bees follow. Wherever the queen is, the bees will follow. She probably releases some sort of pheromones, you'd imagine.

00:46:10:21 – 00:46:35:05
Yeah, yeah. So she finds the bees saving the bees, and she takes the bees back to where she lives. And she puts the bees next. All her other bees. And she says at the end, another great day of saving the bees. But she does fucking saves the bees. It's like, I'm gonna find that man. That sounds like a a very, so very wholesome.

00:46:35:05 – 00:46:59:19
I think we'll leave it there on that whole bit of a tick tock content. I'm gonna find the bees, lady. Now, we have a dilemma, and we have something only you know, before we before we jump into those. The topic for next week is X. We're going to finish it off. Yes, we we spoke about embarrassment. It's embarrassing I think.

00:46:59:19 – 00:47:18:02
I can't even remember what episode was episode 24. And we started talking about X and then we started talking about X. But we knew we were going to run about and we thought, fuck it, let's go back. We'll save it as a whole topic in itself. So next week we're going to be talking about X and what what our X are.

00:47:18:04 – 00:47:33:23
So if you want to share what your x are then send them in to the lads anon pod at gmail.com. Didn't have loads Rick didn't have loads. Did we have loads of people? Said there was a list of. There was a list that we were going to go through. Is that right? There is a list. Yes yes yes yes.

00:47:33:24 – 00:48:01:21
Okay. So if people want to add to that list they can go ahead. Also a little peek behind the the curtain. I am going on holiday season, so we are going to be recording two episodes next week. So the next one is going to be about hobbies, which is our hobbies, things we like doing. And we want to find out any interesting hobbies that you guys do.

00:48:02:01 – 00:48:24:11
Assholes. I want to talk about assholes. Yeah, well, you want to go straight into that. We can do that if you want. I think if I had a choice between sort of talking about Games Workshop or what goes in someone's ass, games workshop, is that not a hobby? But the game I love to. Games workshop is no Warhammer and little model.

00:48:24:13 – 00:48:47:16
Do you know, it's interesting we can do hobbies, actually, right? Because I was on a local Facebook group and someone said, I really want to play Dungeons and Dragons. Oh, yeah. Is there anyone around here who plays Dungeons and Dragons? And everyone knows what Dungeons and Dragons is, isn't it? It's like a board game. I don't they roll dice and you have, like, someone telling a story.

00:48:47:16 – 00:49:07:13
I don't really get it at all, but. But that's what happens. And the people went, yeah, we have a Dungeons Dragons will be every Wednesday in this this place. You're welcome to come around. And that's like there would have been a time when I was a kid like, we were gonna talk plan Dungeons Dragons, but there's like, communities everywhere that have these little groups.

00:49:07:13 – 00:49:27:19
And sometimes you need groups, and, you know, that could save someone's life. That little group doing that. Hobbies. Let's have, Yeah. Yeah, that sounds really nice. Like, do you remember, like, back in the day, hobbies. People used to be stamp collectors. I was like, what the like? What is that about? When I was a kid, right?

00:49:27:21 – 00:49:48:01
Yeah. Do you know what I used to do? You know what I used to collect ring boos. Ring boos from cans. And I had two sacks of them. Y and do you know what it that. No fucking reason. There wasn't a bit where you could look under the cap and look the ring pull and there's a serial number.

00:49:48:01 – 00:50:07:03
I mean. Oh that's made from whatever aluminum. That's, that's a good one or anything like that. It's some I was just collecting rubbish basically. I was collecting rubbish as, as a kid. Why did I do that? I so weird is with this year there was a raid ring pool as a hobby. Well, I don't know what it was.

00:50:07:05 – 00:50:36:17
It was a Weller back then. It it felt like a hobby. You know, you might. Your parents should have stepped in at some stage. Don't fucking leave the ring post home. Leave it. Leave them on the ground. Yeah. Okay. Let's do that. Sounds good. Right. So, ex and hobbies, lads. And on pod at gmail.com. The first dilemma or the only dilemma is going to be called you drive me crazy.

00:50:36:19 – 00:51:10:08
Oh, I'm just, just tired. And you got an issue for a tissue. You're a big fat cat when you aching in your soul, alone in your flat. Please talk to Vicky Flanagan. Let not stress off your chest. Well, friend, you disappear like you're safe to get. Not sure between breaking your and. Right. This dilemma. So this gentleman sent in there a dilemma before.

00:51:10:08 – 00:51:34:09
I don't know if you remember it. Five is mate when I will. And we were saying that to flush out. Well, he resigned to flush out where his mate was, to get around to his dad to see a video beating him up. And that it was saying raises ed above the parapet. And I'm wondering, so this lad has got another dilemma I've sent in.

00:51:34:09 – 00:52:04:18
Okay, now I have a new dilemma. Recently when we go to the pub, Ben has been drinking too much and then driving afterwards while I stop at two pints to ensure I'm safe to drive, Ben often pushes to 3 or 4 pints before heading home. This is especially concerning because he doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, putting himself and others in unnecessary danger.

00:52:04:20 – 00:52:27:18
Sometimes. Ben even drinks before we go to the pub, so he's well over the limit by the time we leave. Lately, he's been switching his last point to a vodka lemonade, which seems pointless if we're heading straight home. Should I address this issue with Ben? It doesn't ruin our time at the pub, but it puts him in danger afterwards.

00:52:27:20 – 00:53:00:14
The tricky part is that Ben doesn't handle criticism of his behavior very well. Should I talk to him or hope he does? He doesn't like this lesson the hard way. Moreover. You should talk to him because he could kill someone. Yeah. So yes, you should absolutely. You should. You should definitely, definitely talk to him. But also, a couple of pints puts you over the limit as well.

00:53:00:16 – 00:53:26:20
Thank you. I, I, I was going to mention that my tolerance to alcohol is very, very. And if I have a single pint and I drive, I wouldn't feel, I would feel my driving is compromised. But, you know, if I say, well, cleanly sober, it doesn't matter. You're still over the limit. Yeah, yeah. So you're better off not drinking at all if you're going to drive the starters.

00:53:26:22 – 00:53:48:07
But like I was saying, the main issue here is like, you know, he could he could be drink, drive in and he could crash his car, right, his car off, or he could do this, that and the other. And that's bad. And that's on him. If he kills another person or run someone over or anything like that, it's just it's, unforgivable.

00:53:48:07 – 00:54:08:18
And you have to speak to a man about how much he's going to take it. And like you saying he doesn't take things well when you criticize his behavior, if you say to him in its best way, as you can, when it's just you to say, you don't make a fool of him, you don't bring extra attention to.

00:54:08:20 – 00:54:32:20
Other people are piling in on his behavior. It's just YouTube having a chat about it. As long as you've done your bit, it's not raised to raise your head to say, look, man, I, I don't mind. I thought it was. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. I had a mate like this personally and he would back in the day, he would drink, drive and we would all jump in the car, but don't think nothing of it because we get free this time.

00:54:32:22 – 00:54:50:13
And it's not that we think that we would think nothing of it, but it was a free time and weird at rather risk it. Your risk of more risk averse on you. And then it got to the stage where they were getting more and more drunk, taking more and more risk. And I was like, I'm just going to get a taxi home.

00:54:50:13 – 00:55:08:05
And it's like, whoa, this is space in the car. And I was like, I don't feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable doing this. And if anything had happened while I was in that car, I would never have given myself and not actually. So I can stand about it. And, you know, other people would still get in the car and it's still going about their way.

00:55:08:05 – 00:55:28:09
But again, I would just have that close chat with him, just you and him, and just explain to him, obviously that, you're concerned about it. So in, in what is there about two, two units of alcohol in a pint of beer.

00:55:28:11 – 00:55:55:11
And the limit is it says here. I'm not sure if this is up to date. It says you know, how many units are over the limit is generally it's made the drink drive limits in England, Wales and Northern Ireland would allow men the equivalent of four units of alcohol. This is around two pints of normal strength beer. However.

00:55:55:13 – 00:56:13:10
Whilst two units of alcohol might keep you under the legal limit limits, should you be breathalyzed on the road, that's not to say you can neck a pint and then immediately hit the road safely. Your liver plays a significant role in dealing with the alcohol in your system, converting it into water and carbon monoxide. At best. Your liver can do one unit per hour.

00:56:13:12 – 00:56:38:23
So in theory, after consuming to limit two units of alcohol in a pint of 3.8%, lager, you'd need to wait at least two hours before driving. To be safe. Wow. Don't drink and drive kids, is what I would say. Yeah, fuck that shit. Now we're going to go on to something only you know.

00:56:39:00 – 00:56:47:02
Why? Something? You know.

00:56:47:04 – 00:57:06:07
So it's about 20 years ago. I was say 19, 20 ish. And I've been seeing this girl for a few months. We'd got to the stage where we'd stay at each other's house over the weekend, and. And in this particular night, I stayed at her apartment. We decided to stay in, have a few drinks and order a curry.

00:57:06:09 – 00:57:27:19
My guts says similar to Ricky's in the way that a five cheese toastie from M&S can pass through me in less than 30 minutes, and curries could always be a bit touch and go. We had a good few drinks at our curry and as the night usually does, led to the bedroom. We did the business and fell asleep naked and drunk.

00:57:27:21 – 00:57:54:19
I woke up about 3 or 4 in the morning and felt wet. I lifted the covers and was blown away by the overwhelming smell of shit. As I peeled the covers back further, I saw that I'd shat the bed. This wasn't a poo. This was a tsunami of foamy brown shit all over the place we'd been sleeping. Asked ass, and I was all over her too.

00:57:54:21 – 00:58:17:17
I panicked and didn't know what to do. I waddled to the bathroom and spent a good 10 to 15 minutes cleaning myself up. And then when I was done, I went through to the living room and switched on the telly. Still a little drunk, I eventually fell asleep. What couch? Another hour or so later, I heard screaming and crying in the bedroom.

00:58:17:19 – 00:58:40:00
I ran through to see what was the matter, knowing full well what it was, and saw her wrapped in the duvet and looking panicked. She wouldn't tell me what the problem was at first, but eventually confessed to having shat the bed. Amazing. I went with it. I told her it was okay and comforted her while she cleaned up the mess and changed the bed covers.

00:58:40:02 – 00:59:06:18
She was initially extremely apologetic, but got upset again about the situation when she said she was worried about it. She went on to explain that she had lost her auntie to bowel cancer. Oh my lord, and that she was worried it was in the family. I now have to admit that I said nothing. Oh my lord, as as my new girlfriend went to several doctor's appointments followed by a colonoscopy.

00:59:06:19 – 00:59:41:06
Oh my god in okay. Whilst I knew in fact that it was me who shat the bed. Not that I'm proud. The relationship eventually flitted, frittered away. And I've never told anyone about this story and that's something only I know. Wow. Oh my God. See? Right. I went well, I just went down and watched telly. I was like, what?

00:59:41:08 – 01:00:01:15
You've just left all that shit festering in the bed. But he had a plan. Yeah, he did have a plan. Let's just wait. Wait out. What do you mean? Buying a sofa, knowing that some studies. You're going to hear you, you Mrs. Scream. And knowing what you're going to be confronted with and then just gone. Yeah. So I don't really understand why it can happen to the best of us.

01:00:01:17 – 01:00:27:07
There are times where I sleep with my Mrs. asked us and my mind, what? Is she out of their mind? Yeah. Yeah, she she is. She'll often say if we all asked. Oh she'll say don't fart because I don't want your fart to go up my Barbie slide. That's exactly how I will work. That exact transfer of gas will go from -€2.

01:00:27:09 – 01:00:50:19
If you have if you haven't pooed the bed. No, I haven't actually. That's one thing I haven't. Boxer shorts. Yes. Jeans. Yes. Lots of other things. But not the bed, which is I guess the plus side, but, Yeah. So you're winning. Well, I want to know. I mean, the guy cleaned himself up. Did he clean himself up with the shower?

01:00:50:21 – 01:01:12:24
Because wouldn't the shower have woken her up, or did he just get tissue and smear it all off and just be done with it? I don't know, but not tell him and then just let her think it was her. I mean, that is like what you do. Do you wear nappy cos not because in the beginning, in the beginning you wouldn't own up to it, but you didn't know about her.

01:01:12:24 – 01:01:36:21
Family's got issues, right. It's outrageous. And then you just trash. He's terrified. But, but he's almost like she's up. She might leave me. I mean, and the longer you leave it, definitely leave. You better off not saying anything. You know, she hasn't got anything wrong with her. She don't know it. But you know the truth. The truth is, there's nothing wrong.

01:01:36:23 – 01:01:57:20
Just wanting to tell her that there's nothing wrong, but because it's out. Because you can't just leave. She's got bobcat. Jesus Christ. Jesus. I think what I would have done with that, he's already gone. I'll meet up with. Spoken to the doctors like, you know, shitting yourself in your sleep is not a sign of breast of bowel cancer.

01:01:57:22 – 01:02:16:18
Yeah, just blame on the car in the alcove. I'll just say it happens to the best of us. Or even lie and say it's happened to me before. I love the fact he's never told anybody that. And now, mate, would you save it for the podcast? No, no, but I love the fact he shared it with us. What I do want to say is dilemmas.

01:02:16:20 – 01:02:35:09

Didn't we say. We said that we didn't have any. So we'll fix that. But yeah. Yeah baby. But yeah. So we've got what we've got.

On them night hazy light band of brothers playing tunes. Hi is quite midnight. Waves surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm hit us different ways. Love of music. We prayed with our tongues in cheek. Band is I, we like to speak and yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers.
