Full Episode Transcript
00:00:00:00 – 00:00:26:04
Rick. I want to see Transformers one. But I'm a grown man. It's a cartoon. Feel like I don't belong there in that cinema. Yeah, I know, exactly the same as you don't want people to think I'm not. Yeah, but I really, really want to watch Transformers one. I was we had radio one on that. Yeah. And some guy was saying that he wasn't into Transformers.
00:00:26:04 – 00:00:43:17
The first time, and he's not really going to get moved by an animated film. He watched it and he said, you have to watch. It is brilliant. And I was on Fox. Like, if it was shit, it would be a problem within what I know. What am I going to do? You know how it was exactly the same thing I said to my daughter in the advert came on the TV.
00:00:43:17 – 00:01:03:06
The other day and I went, we come along with daddy to come and watch Transformers with me and she started cracking up. She went, oh God, you you're being serious? No. And also fucking the amount of times I've gone to the cinema to watch shit with you, man. You can come with me. Yeah, I had to go. I had to sit through fucking fast.
00:01:03:08 – 00:01:20:20
Far too fast. Two furious. That was, you know, that was hard work. That was hard work is one of them ones you're looking at clock. And how long can they stretch this out? It's like three hours long. The thing is, with two fast, two furious, right. You're marquee audience. You don't need to entertain them for three hours through 90 minutes.
00:01:20:22 – 00:01:39:01
The plot made no sense. Anyway. There's one bit where they landed. The car flew off a mountain into a plane, so no one needs. It's not like you need to build anything. It's sort of realistic. It's fucking. And I was sitting there for three hours. I wanted to kill myself. No one's watching it for the cinematography with the kind of story arc of engines and guns.
00:01:39:01 – 00:02:02:00
That's all. It all. And run and driving fast. People that. So it might be some people that listen to this don't know that me and Ricky have a special affinity to Transformers the Movie, which was the 1986 six very good 1986 film, which, both of us watched independently and didn't realize until we met each other.
00:02:02:00 – 00:02:19:20
Obviously, after that, we realized that we both were infatuated with this film, and this feels like Transformers one feels like a bit of a an homage to that. But it's a different story. Yeah. And I just I really want to see it. I might have to wait till it comes home because it was going well. I can't believe you're not just doing it.
00:02:19:22 – 00:02:39:22
You want to go and watch it, so just watch it. I do want to watch it, but I want to concentrate on it and not thinking. They think I'm I want to touch kids. I don't I can't enjoy it if people think that I've made I've come up with my own plan and I think I'm going to watch it at the cinema because I have to, but I'm going to go at like the earliest time.
00:02:39:22 – 00:02:54:04
And I you know, 945 and when no one's around, they're school. Like kids will be around up there with some sick kid playing sick kids go goes on, watch it. And then just you and him in the cinema. I don't so that sounds even worse. It is. It can't be any worse. It's exactly what you think it is.
00:02:54:04 – 00:03:12:21
It's terrible. You can't be in there alone, with children, with you cannot. They will go. There is a strange little brown man in there, and we don't trust him. Then they come up to you, Rick, and then? Then you go and you go. I'm not doing anything. I'm just watching Transformers one. I like Transformers, I grew up with Transformers.
00:03:12:24 – 00:03:30:20
I know more about Transformers. That little dickhead over there. Yeah, there's my film. But, they'll probably eject you if you go in there on your own. On your own. They'll eject you. They'll say, sorry, you're making the children feel uncomfortable. You can have to leave.
00:03:30:22 – 00:03:56:16
And we come up. The plan of that going together. Rick. Yeah. Yes. That's awesome. Rin. Yeah, that makes us a ring. But then it's like, you know, like a, I, I just read basically say. That I was, you know, a problem heart. Is it not a problem shared is a problem halved. Yeah. I don't you know, if I'm the pedo, we're both pedo.
00:03:56:22 – 00:04:10:18
I think I like that, I'm not going to feel the, the real force of it. It's ramping up the problem. If anything, if we join forces. Yeah. Right. Okay. We're just gonna have to wait until it comes out.
00:04:10:20 – 00:04:39:14
On the night, I see, like, Band of Brothers playing tunes high is quite midnight waves. Surfing free till daylight breaks. Rhythm of different ways. Love of music that 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. Promise. Hello and welcome to Lads anonymous.

Have you just had eggs go right?
00:05:00:17 – 00:05:18:18
Yeah. You know, I know it's a predicament. It's a bloody predicament. And I don't want to like, you know, when, like, I never go to the cinema. I never because want it fucking. I don't want to remortgage my house to go to the cinema is so expensive. And you call it. You got a guy for tango Ice Blast.
00:05:18:23 – 00:05:41:18
You go. Yeah. It cost as much as a ticket and all it. Do you remember? Right. I used to get. Really? I used to feel so fucking weirded out. An awkward that when we used to go to the cinema at, like, a young age, say, in the teens, they used to be like this, like little Segway this advert before the film started.
00:05:41:22 – 00:06:02:22
And it's this round silver ball that would swirl around the screen before. And it used to be really loud. And yeah, I could hear the speakers shake. It just made me feel fucking like, just give me the mic is horrible, I don't know. And and that's what I associate going to the cinema. So I don't really like that.
00:06:02:24 – 00:06:26:15
But I at the you mentioned us being a predicament. Philly's in a bit of a predicament. Yeah. I am fascinated by this story. So, like, we we we can't talk about it, can we? I mean, well, you don't know anything, do you? Can know what I know. Just what's what's been. Yeah. You just it's, It's just, he's done a really bad thing.
00:06:26:15 – 00:06:43:17
Well, no, no. Hang on. Whoa, whoa. Oh, shit. No, I mean, I mean, allegedly, I don't know what he's done. I have no idea what he's done. I've no idea what he's done. But you do. So he's been accused of. Of doing really bad things. Will go, Yeah. Yeah, several times. And he's, he's currently being is released on bail.
00:06:43:17 – 00:07:06:15
But you can't leave the city of Perth. That's right. So, if you don't know, young, young Philly is he's a would you call him a YouTuber? He's in social media. He's all over the internet. Yeah, he's an influencer. Yeah, he's an influencer. And he's also brought a couple of music tracks out as well. Yeah. Would you call him a hip hop artist?
00:07:06:18 – 00:07:30:05
I just call him, I think, like artists, but really, I, I would, I would call him, like, so when you reach a certain stage in your, you're of a certain age influence in isn't just about, you know, making TikToks is anything you do. Anything you can is the music. You might do, boxing you might do. Yeah. In all cases that there's a model there, right?
00:07:30:06 – 00:07:55:03
As long as it honors and gains attraction and attention, it's worth worth doing to these people. So it just is massive. Like people don't understand how influential people like Philly in chunks and obviously kind of cyber forum, the hugely influential. And they are like, I can tell you how much Philly and trunk's charge for a day. Right?
00:07:55:05 – 00:08:17:15
Because in in my industry, you sort of come across you meet people like producers and stuff and, and they, they charge and it's you'd be sick how much money they get paid for a shoot? They might do ten shoots of work a week, 20 grand a day. Oh, my God, really? Ten, 20 grand a day? Yeah.
00:08:19:04 – 00:08:46:07
Gee, and you think that's too much? But the value of them and the audience, they bring makes the advertiser so much more money than that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Relative. Really? Anyway, I am, I am, I wouldn't have infatuated, but, I have, a keen interest in this influence. It's weird in, in sphere of, you know, like your B views.
00:08:46:09 – 00:09:01:19
Don't talk to me about beef. I've asked told us about beef. I don't bring him up. If you're not talking about him. All right, so Ricky will say what you want to talk about this weekend. I just tickets, okay. Ricky said, every week I go. Can we talk about Bevo this week? And you're like, no. Or you just ignore me?
00:09:01:24 – 00:09:23:12
And then you just brought him up and I'm like, okay, this is an episode. This is an episode about this world, for sure, 100%. Ed Murphy's my favorite. And, and Bevo, there's there's loads of him. I can't tell you. What do you want to do that next week? Then? I thought we had a plan for next week.
00:09:23:14 – 00:09:42:07
We do, but we, I'm appeasing you. Oh, I would, which I believe is a good idea. I don't need to appease me. I would. Oh, no is a good idea. So why you. Why not? Why are you not batting for me? Because there's a there's a schedule. Oh. That's it. You're stickler for rules, you. Because I'll be a stickler for the rules.
00:09:42:09 – 00:10:01:17
I know you know that. Yeah, but you got prime talent here. You know, if I'm. If I'm passionate about something like Bebo, you got short. Why do you want to work? Always be passionate about it. For those you love. Save. So long as we stick to your schedule. I'm not sure I love Bebo, but I'm infatuated.
00:10:01:19 – 00:10:29:03
Yeah, in a no, actually, that is. That's too. That's true. But I think there too much. That's too much. It's not, it's not. I don't have negative feeling. I don't have a positive feeling about him. I just I'm a I'm just obsessed with by him. He just intrigues me so much. And, and it tells you so much about society and the shift online and how people interpret content and what content is now like.
00:10:29:03 – 00:10:58:05
When I say content back in the day, you know, it would be prime content that attracted adulation and, and, and worth might be a, a 10,000 word dissertation in the times that a journalist has worked as worked months on reporting. Yeah, yeah. In this day and age, it's a young man, a weird looking young man with eyes practically on the side of his head.
00:10:58:07 – 00:11:21:13
He can't swallow a potato properly or move to the point. Can swallow a whole potato. That makes him very, very wealthy. But we've shifted away from quality for quantity, and I just wanna have a conversation about it. And below is the is the conduit. Where 100% we will. And, I could we could start talking about this now, but we're not going to.
00:11:21:15 – 00:11:48:10
So the last episode, mental health. Thank you all for your emails, social and your feedback. Was that the, there was a lot of people that found, where I speaking about where it was kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back about my work situation, the redundancy and everything that came along with that. And there's quite a few people that have gone through that, that are going through that.
00:11:49:07 – 00:12:16:19
That's it struck a chord with them. And the human givens pillars that I've mentioned as well, that you you found it all very useful. And if you didn't know, it's in the episode notes. Okay. So I've put them all there. So if you go back pillars. Yeah. If you go back to episode 38, Mental Health and you look in the episode notes, the, human givens pillars are all in there.
00:12:16:20 – 00:12:44:10
So you can go and check them out. If you don't follow us on any social, then it's fine. What? What are you doing? What are you doing? Right. Where are you at night? Don't listen to Ricky. It's funny. At lats. Unknown pod. We're on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, wherever you get your socials, we're there. Come and have a look.
00:12:44:10 – 00:13:08:10
See what we're doing. Got lots of reels, TikToks, old photos of, Flav and I, the, the Throwback Thursday is that we do that are very well received. So come and give us a follow. We are now going to jump straight into today's topic and that is phobias. Yeah yeah yeah. Oh yeah I wasn't sure what you was going to say then.
00:13:08:18 – 00:13:39:02
Just for a second, what do you think I was going to say? I forgot what we talked about. Okay. Now, I know a phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling, or animal phobias are more pronounced than fears they develop when a person as an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.
00:13:39:04 – 00:13:41:19
So.
00:13:41:21 – 00:14:04:24
I'm just want to draw. Just like from what was made. I think there's mention on the last app. Got any? I don't know. If I do. We'll get into that. And you can you can write it, but you actually do have a genuine phobia. Phobia. Do I try try pop a phobia. Oh I forgot I had that for a second.
00:14:05:01 – 00:14:24:18
I think. No one. I didn't know what you can say. I didn't know what you were going to say. And then as soon as you said that, images filled my head or not, even though I thought, I've told you so, then I actually can't visualize any images. But that feeling involved in it. Just when you said it, I don't say it again because people might.
00:14:24:20 – 00:14:42:03
They weren't like it. Are we able to talk about this? Of course it will be easier. Yeah. Wouldn't be a very good episode if I wasn't willing to talk about it with it. No, we can talk about loads of other phobias now. Let's, It's fine, it's fine. I just caught me unawares, and now I'm prepared. Right. Okay.
00:14:42:05 – 00:15:03:23
Yeah. When did you first know that you had this? So I so I thought about this a lot because I've. I've been aware of it, but I wasn't aware, so I wasn't aware that I had it until I was exposed to, an image on the internet, for example, that made me feel a certain way, but I didn't know there's a name for it.
00:15:03:23 – 00:15:33:00
I didn't know other people felt that way. I just knew that when I looked at it, I made me feel like it's hard to describe the feeling. It it feels like sick. You feel sick? Now I feel now. Right now I feel nauseous. You feel like you you want to destroy it? Like, just. And you feel like.
00:15:33:08 – 00:16:04:06
It's. You want it off, you just want to look away. I think it's hard to articulate in the same way it's, How do you articulate what happiness feels like other than using the word happiness? You can't. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So that's what it is. And, so, so I think when it started was I watched my mum do something, it was she, she, when I was little, with one of my kind of earliest memories I can remember, really.
00:16:04:08 – 00:16:25:10
And there was a carpenter beach. You know what that is like a it's a it's a bee. It's called a carpenter bee. And they live solitary on their own, and they carve holes or dig holes. Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah I don't know. Yeah yeah yeah. Very very particular very neat holes. And I saw my mum go oh
00:16:25:20 – 00:16:53:17
And she, she covered it. And I think that maybe where, where it started has your mum go there. I, I think it was or was it. She was just grossed out that there's like a bee drilling holes in the windows. No, no, it was the hole that she had the issue with. So it's, it's a weird, weird phobia because it's, it's not just one hole with many holes clustered together that which I have.
00:16:53:17 – 00:17:10:19
Yeah. With like a crumpet, but as now I'm talking about it, I feel more comfortable. I can, I can look at a crumpet and eat one another. I don't really have an issue. Whereas when I was younger, I hated that. I hated them. But yeah, I think that's that's where they come and say my dad was spiders.
00:17:10:19 – 00:17:30:16
He has a fear of spiders. Some say he can't touch some, like, his wife has to get spiders out of the thing. But the spirit is very. No way. Really? Yeah, yeah. He's like, you know, he's very sort of old school London bloke. Cockney geezer. Right? But you can't go near a spider. But this morning there was a house spider in the bathtub.
00:17:30:18 – 00:17:49:24
It's cliche. Does that sound? And I picked it up on my hand and got rid of it. So any fear of spiders? Oh, fuck. You know, you what? What? Night? I was in a hurry, so the. My boy wanted his hair washed before for school because he forgot to do it last night, and it was too late, so I was giving him a hand washing his hair.
00:17:50:01 – 00:18:12:19
And there was a, there was a it was either that or flush it down the plug on. I'm gonna do this. Yeah. Well yeah. Straight away. Okay. Well you flush but it's down the plughole. Yeah. My, my, that's that's the that's the one. It's one of the ones that I have. I absolutely cannot stand spiders. The, you know, the there are some spiders that are fine.
00:18:12:20 – 00:18:41:22
You know, the ones with the tiny pin like bodies and the long legs. Yeah. They're like orbs up spiders. I have no idea what they are. They're fine. But we we went to when we went to Longleat with the kids, you know, the spider big a like. Yeah, yeah, he's a bit different. It is different. But at that time as well, my kids, were scared of spiders and I wanted to do that thing that kind of demonstrate that it's not that bad.
00:18:41:22 – 00:19:02:23
And I wanted to take myself out of my comfort zone by holding this big transition. And I'd never done anything like that. It's fucking weird. I don't to this day know why I did it, obviously. I wanted to prove a point to my kids, and I did that, and I felt like the weight of this big spider on my hand, and it was fucking horrible.
00:19:03:00 – 00:19:26:07
But I did it, and I am the chief spider exterminator in our house, so I need spiders. Don't exterminate them. Just put outside my I like literally, I cannot I like I can't do that thing where I have a glass or a container, put over it, slide a bit of paper over it and then walk it outside that I can't.
00:19:26:07 – 00:19:45:10
I wouldn't be able to walk it anywhere in case it came loose and it started crawling on me or something. So I have to get I have to get a tissue and, and, and fucking you. And then it does not happen to me. I guess this is a phobia as well where, where I live. But European hornets are relatively common.
00:19:45:12 – 00:20:05:12
Oh, fuck. Really? Yeah. If you haven't, have you seen one before in the city? I don't know, I've never saw one in my entire life. They're big fucking. No, they they're big and they make a massive racket when they fly. I not like a bee, but much more intense in a bee. Their wings are bigger. And when they land, you know, in the,
00:20:05:14 – 00:20:29:12
What would you say? Like a mantis can move his head independent of his body. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hornets so the head move independent that flies do that as well. Anyway, one come into the house landed on my t shirt and it was so heavy it was pulling my t shirt down. That's how heavy the. Since it was so strong.
00:20:29:14 – 00:20:43:03
Sexually assault. Yeah. I don't know if it was doing that. I just think I'm not sure it was have the mental capacity to understand that. But it was, it was just I felt the weight of this insect on me, and I was like, fuck, that's not what you should do. You shouldn't feel the weight of an insect.
00:20:43:04 – 00:21:04:04
That's that's too much. If you come. Anyway, I started running around the kitchen, Olly. And she was running away from me. And it was just. It was. It was mayhem. Just quickly, though, if you see a European on it, leave it be. Right. They're not aggressive. They're much less aggressive than you. You're a general wasp, but you'll find in in the UK.
00:21:04:04 – 00:21:34:08
And they eat wasps. Good. They're good. I, I like going back to the to the me. I have a couple spiders and holding that tarantula. And then that spurred me on because I was able to do that. And I also hate bees and wasps. So then I went to Ireland and my Mrs. Auntie has. She keeps, bees.
00:21:34:10 – 00:22:01:04
And she offered it out to anyone that wants to kind of come and have a look at them. And I put my hand up to prove in front of my children that bees and wasps aren't scary. And when I got there, I put all the kind of the the netting and the mesh on and all that lot. And as soon as she opened the lid and I saw the amount of bees that were there and they were just all over, my wife and I fucking flipped out.
00:22:01:04 – 00:22:28:23
If you want to see that video, we've posted it on our Instagram, but that was one of those times. But I, you know, we try to keep things under control. Yeah. And try your best not to panic. And they say if X happens never do y. And I did exactly the y because I was just so filled with fear of the amount of bees buzzing around my face and just hearing it vibrate in my head.
00:22:28:23 – 00:22:49:02
It was fucking horrible. So, so so what you tried to do was, you know, cure the fear of. Yeah, your children might have a wasp, but in fact, you increased it. Yeah, because they thought that that was gonna be a stun to death. There. You even you can hear the audio, the video. They're all fucking laughing.
00:22:49:04 – 00:23:16:15
Wax. Funny. But, so with, like, for me, insects. I mean, I don't really enjoy insects a lot, to be fair. And like it is that, you know, when it landed on you that. Oh, did you panic? Yeah, I, I oh yeah. And it was more like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like if you woke up and there was a cockroach sitting on your chest, but, fuck you.
00:23:16:15 – 00:23:42:16
Now that's that. I've, you know, I've never seen a cockroach in real life. I know it did in Spain. I did in Spain. Yeah. Espana. I love it over there, mate. Why do they fucking love it over there? I go there every year and they're like, at my grandparents villa. And they are. They're just everywhere. And obviously I'm the, the, the the cockroach killer.
00:23:42:18 – 00:24:08:05
And why would you stop killing everything, mate? Honestly, honestly. Like, there is no way that you can capture one of these things. They move so quick. They're so heavy, like they're shells. You have to spray them with this chemical and then like, I didn't do it. Fuck off, mate, fuck off. I'm can't even have that conversation. They, they're just horrid.
00:24:08:05 – 00:24:37:01
They are absolutely horrible spiders. I can I could get my way around that. But they made so fast. Cockroaches. They, they're a plague that they're just absolutely disgusting. No, I don't know. Well, God, let's just. Cockroaches can be dangerous to humans. Disease transmission. Cockroaches can carry and spread bacteria, viruses that cause diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid fever, leprosy, plague and polio.
00:24:37:02 – 00:25:04:17
Fair enough. Kill the fucking hahahahahahahaha. They are insane. And I like if you know when, on I'm a Celebrity. Get Me Out of there. One of the challenges they wear. Kind of. It looks like a space man's, helmet. Yes, they sell about, yeah. Glass bottle. They fill them up. If that happened to me with cockroaches, I think I'd have a heart attack.
00:25:04:17 – 00:25:26:08
And I think you'd be able to do one of those Bushtucker trials where you have to eat, you know, dicks and stuff like that. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, I like cow dick or whatever. Cow bollock, all that stuff. Blended insects and down it and all that stuff. Oh, Lord, I'd have a good cut that I'd have the Constitution to keep it down.
00:25:26:10 – 00:25:48:13
I don't know, I didn't say that I'd give it a go. Give it. Think about what should he grub? I don't think we should live. Which should he grab? Yeah, a live one and it pops in your mouth. You would give it a go. I'd give it a go. I don't know how I'd get back. I couldn't, I had a phobia on about the, the spiders and the cockroaches in that helmet thing.
00:25:48:15 – 00:26:09:19
Like, I don't even think they put one in. I have to pull the cord and be like, I'm a celebrity and beat the shit out of an could and dec. Well, Well, what what would you be comfortable with? Because, like, rats, I'm fine with that. In a in a in snakes. That's fine to me. Right. Okay. No, it's the, I've got some I've got some fears.
00:26:09:19 – 00:26:39:15
Here. Let me. Where is it I can't she's not the phobias. Right. Why are they so crazily put together? Fear of snakes is I said I can't even say I fit the oh phobia. Oh 30 phobia. Yes. Yeah, that's that's crazy that the name for snakes. The fear of snakes. And I, you know, snakes are fucking weird.
00:26:39:15 – 00:27:03:19
I wouldn't say I've got a huge fear. But I remember when I was younger, a lad that used to live down my street, he had, he had a python, and I'd want. I want a snake. I'd love a snake. Would you? You scared the snakes. I wouldn't say I'm scared. I am interested. And I do remember holding this python when I was younger.
00:27:04:02 – 00:27:23:07
A smell as well. What? A snake smell was weird. It did smell, and, and I remember when I'd like, in the summertime when it is hot. They had a tree outside the front of the house. They just, like, wrap it around the tree and just like it's Python, it's just chilling there. Yeah, that didn't really scare me.
00:27:23:07 – 00:27:47:13
And I do like snakes. And I like the fact that if they bite you, they can some of some of them can kill you. A lot of them can kill you. But there isn't that same fear as in spiders, like, I just think because they're so prevalent over here, like, you know, just a friendly wolf spider here, they just some of them can grow.
00:27:47:13 – 00:28:20:14
So big. Just horrible. Yeah. I can't get over him. That's just disgusting little things do you suffer from? So this is a list of the top ten phobias in the UK. So arachnophobia is numbers. This is number one. Well, number one yeah I think it's, this is what, 1 to 10. Okay. But, arachnophobia. I was scared of the when I saw that film.
00:28:20:14 – 00:28:42:10
Arachnophobia. Yeah. That fucking dumb as well. They're remaking it. Oh my God, are they really? Yeah. Do you know that only, like, four spiders were killed in that in the whole making of arachnophobia, you've killed more spiders and died in the making of a retina phobia by a long stretch. Oh, easily. Easily. Yes. That. Yeah, that's a sound.
00:28:42:10 – 00:29:09:06
Quite badass. Do the list do less than, acrophobia. Is that. Is that how you pronounce it? These pronunciations get acronyms. Is is it fly? Heights? Heights? Claustrophobia? Yeah. I mean everyone mind space is not Netflix. Shut up. Are you. Well, you can go like. No, I'm not your part. Yeah, yeah. You got, you know, any particular little shit tonight, pie?
00:29:09:08 – 00:29:26:05
I hate you doing that right now, are we? Let me see. Let me see your phone. If you're booking a new party right now. Right. Okay. I'll take that back a day. Take that back. I used to freak out like my luck was play fighting with my brothers when I was a kid. And one of the things was getting a duvet.
00:29:26:07 – 00:29:49:02
And you'd wrap your wrap. I'd get, we don't do it to each other. You'd wrap them up in the duvet so they couldn't move and then sit on you. I hated that I hated it so much, I hated it. So even now, it gives me anxiety thinking about it. Yeah, similar. One is what you know when you take all the cushions off a sofa and you're just like, lying on the spring base, and then some of this cushions on top of you.
00:29:49:05 – 00:30:07:01
Yeah. And then they sit on you like you're the sofa and you don't know where you are. I remember that being done to me did not. Do you remember, do you remember like bundles? You have the bundles when you was a kid? Yeah. Yeah. So you'd find someone and there might be 20 of you in a group and you'd bundle.
00:30:07:01 – 00:30:22:02
And if you were a part of that bundle was hell. Because control how fast you're going to get out. You feel like you're going to be crushed, but also you've got 20 other people with their own individual will above you. You can't control the individual at 20 people. They might want to stay there for a bit. And I'm not ready for to stay there for a bit.
00:30:22:02 – 00:30:53:09
I need out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I call it a meta phobia. Fear of vomiting. Yeah, it's quite a bit harder. If I had that, my girlfriend had that, she couldn't. Oh yeah. She could watch any programs with, with vomiting. We'd have to with, we'd pick a film and we'd have to Google. So there's lots of people online who've chronicled films that have any people vomit in it, and they won't watch it.
00:30:53:12 – 00:31:16:16
It's triggering. I fuck yeah, I didn't know that era. I can't talk about much now. I fear of flying air phobia. Yeah, there you go. Like with that one with me. And like we've discussed this on about did a whole episode of Fear flying and I do we do have a fear of flying. But I wouldn't say I have a phobia.
00:31:16:17 – 00:31:48:05
I just I think because I actually get on planes. Yeah. What is phobia one that you can't control that stops you from doing things. Yeah. That that's what I would say. Yeah yeah yeah yeah I know I've done about six flights in a year last year. Yeah. You know I didn't want to but about did it. But I think if you had a phobia you would be like, I know people that won't fly like that was weirdly, I saw a TikTok this morning and it was Kyle Walker being interviewed and publishing co with a fear of flying.
00:31:48:07 – 00:32:12:05
Publishing goes an obscure Russian forward that played for Tottenham about 12 years ago. Most people who aren't Spurs fans, they won't know who he is, but we flew up to Sunderland for a for a game and the plane went in relatively close contact with another one. And this is, in the words of Kyle Walker, as it may not be exactly right, but yeah, dip and drop really quickly.
00:32:12:07 – 00:32:37:00
And, the pilot did a good job in sorting out anyway, and the publishing co wouldn't get back on the plane. I think he drove back to Russia and never played game. I wouldn't have the same, again at once. The snakes, I can't even pronounce it. That's what else you got there. Social phobia, social anxiety disorder, fear of social situations.
00:32:37:00 – 00:33:01:01
Yeah. I mean, lots of people feel that way. But social anxiety. But phobia would prevent you from going into social situations. Yeah, some people I'd get social anxiety sometimes, but people I don't know, sometimes I'm good. Sometimes I feel comfortable when I'm in my zone. Other times I really clam up. It's weird. I can't like if I'm going to a party and I'm invited, it's just me.
00:33:01:03 – 00:33:19:20
I couldn't go in there on my own and start mingling with other people, saying how I what you do and know that I would rather just not go. Do you know what? If I have a responsibility to make the situation feel, more comfortable, then I'm generally okay in it. So my wife is very she's the opposite in that respect.
00:33:19:20 – 00:33:39:08
She's not. She's introverted and in at times I could be extroverted if I want to be. And so often she'll wheel me along to these things just so I can be the social buffer for her. You've got to be the shield. Yeah. Which I don't want, do I? I don't mind doing that. Don't. I mean, if I'm on my own, there is no purpose to it.
00:33:39:10 – 00:33:58:24
I don't really, I've met enough people now. I feel I don't have to put myself in situations where I need to meet new people. Yeah. We, my friends in that, we went to an event, didn't we, last year? It was at the beginning of this year. Yeah, yeah. So if they're. I do it. But I was all right.
00:33:58:24 – 00:34:18:15
Because you were my social butterfly and you knew few people there. And you've, you know, you've worked with these people. So when we went in, the room opened up, it was very noisy. Everyone in that room, I didn't know anyone a single. So. And I for flats with me, that's for. Oh, shit. You sure he's talking to someone right away?
00:34:18:15 – 00:34:36:00
I'm just stuck here. My. I now pretend I was, I fuck, fuck fuck. So I just kind of, kind of think she was all right. Yeah, yeah, I know I did have a few beers as all right, but, Yeah, but that was that wasn't a relaxing environment. That was work. That. Yeah. Well, when you was in there, it wasn't.
00:34:36:00 – 00:35:17:23
I was, I felt like I'm making an effort here to make sure that this conversation doesn't dry up. Yeah. It wasn't a relaxing conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those ones, there's, saboteur phobia, fear of death and my myself, a phobia. Fear of germs or contamination. We've had some emails in about other people's, phobias. And I just want to say that obviously, phobias are fucking horrible things when the actual real phobias and we've spoken before about different types of therapy.
00:35:18:00 – 00:35:39:09
And if you do suffer a genuine like debilitating phobia, then I would suggest that you go and see someone and try and do some CBT therapy. And what was the one that you mentioned? It was the exposure therapy. Yeah. It's like you just if you're if you're scared of spiders, it's the same with that sort of trip up.
00:35:39:09 – 00:36:01:11
A phobia is that I've seen so much that it doesn't have a as a it massive impact. Right before I didn't know that I had it kind of thing. Right. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard, but you just keep exposing exposing you exposing yourself to it to the point where you're not scared anymore. Yeah. I, I'll send you a photo of me holding a spider.
00:36:01:13 – 00:36:21:14
So I fear blood. This one is quite common. My eldest daughter, she has a fear of blood. Fear of needles. Can't look at bleeding on the TV if she can't run. Going if or not incisions on TV. I can't look at incisions with a scalpel. You know, sometimes in medical or. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, like a vet's program.
00:36:21:16 – 00:36:42:02
The shape of it. I watch supravit genius. Okay. A super vet somehow thinks he does something somewhere. But sometimes you use a scalpel, and I, like, cannot watch incisions. I cannot I cannot look at incisions now, all day, every day that you could gobble that up. Yeah. Broke his bones. No. Oh, no. So if I'm about to watch, I know you do it now.
00:36:42:02 – 00:37:03:02
About to watch a video of someone who's about to break their legs. Yeah, but you look it in. Yeah. This is going to end well. And there's a turn like on, you get sent the videos or you see them on Instagram and there's a look to injury videos that they just have. There's just a similarity between all horrible injury videos.
00:37:03:02 – 00:37:19:08
And you kind of know it's a horrible injury video before you've even watched it. I've got brilliant at that as that. I'm not watching that one, I noticed, but just because just the way it's lit and the way it's shot, it's like this is going to be it's going to be bones exposed. Yeah, I'm the one like, where's your your watch?
00:37:19:08 – 00:37:48:00
It's what? Oh yeah. Yeah yeah. At least at least twice I quite enjoy them. Not my phobia, but I worked with a girl years ago at a fancy golf club. Did all the normal restaurant stuff at the clubhouse. And, come Sunday we have a Sunday carvery. All the trimmings, mint sauce, horseradish and red current jelly. I asked the girl in question if she could go and fill up the sauce, but I was ready for the car.
00:37:48:00 – 00:38:11:17
Every 20 minutes later, I walk into the little prep room to find her crying and shaking as she spooning out the red currant jelly. Every little yelp led to the jelly shaking more and more, which produced more and more crying. I asked her what was wrong as she and as she sobbed. She said she had a phobia of jelly.
00:38:11:19 – 00:38:44:10
A phobia of jelly. Do you remember in the office where. Yeah. Gareth got a phobia. Jelly? Yeah. And, Oh, fucking out with Tim. Hi. Despite stapler in the jelly. And he opened this drawer and it's just wobbling about, so, if you he. So he's also put. Also, my dad has a fear of the hunchback of Notre Dame, which which I mean, that is.
00:38:44:10 – 00:39:10:04
Understand it. Yeah. You can see this one. This is a very interesting one. Since I was a kid, I've had a fear of news flashes. Yes. Those fucking things that very occasionally pop up during an ad break or in the middle of a program. Those are the worst. I think it's because of the very sudden fear of what the fuck is going on in the world, and the anticipation of what I'm about to learn.
00:39:10:06 – 00:39:35:01
I don't like the, the still news flashes pop up, and the look of the news broadcast is straight down. The middle of the lens is horrible. If one pops up on screen, I have to look away or cover my eyes for a few seconds until I learn what's going on. That's mad now is mad so specific. I know, I know it, isn't it?
00:39:35:05 – 00:40:00:16
I'm. What? Have you got any more of these? Three more. Right. They're quite, quite short. Yeah. No, I'm only asking because I've got. I've just googled and I'm not sure if you've done this, but how phobias happen. Why do phobias develop? Yeah. Did you do that? I did, yeah. All right. We'll save it because it's just it it it's that doesn't explain what you've just said.
00:40:00:18 – 00:40:23:21
Why? Well, he's he's got a fear of newsreaders looking down the barrel. And he needs to know what the story is before he can watch. Like, I've read what causes phobias to appear in people, and I don't know how that fits. Right. Okay. So the the what? This one here. I can't even pronounce this fucking thing. The lesser phobia.
00:40:23:21 – 00:40:44:05
Fear of open water. Okay. This one, you said this to me a couple of times, but I don't think it's a phobia. But this person has it as a phobia. They don't know the nightmare. I don't have a name for it, but I fear when driving that my body won't do what my mind says, like a curve in the road.
00:40:44:07 – 00:41:10:11
And it just let me go on steering like you said, that's a couple of slides. I know what that is. That's that's I think it's called video phobia. That's the fear of driving, sheer. Yeah. Especially on motorways. So lots of people have it. My fear is like I'm driving a lot, right? It's an intrusive for.
00:41:10:11 – 00:41:33:03
I'm driving on. I've got if I just turn the wheel, I'm driving a 7080 though. 70 mile an hour. Right. I'm the limit. And I'm like, if I just turn well everyone's that, everyone's that, I'm that probably the other people that there's a truck coming. I just drive into that. Well, why you're putting your trust in so many people not to do that alone.
00:41:33:03 – 00:42:02:01
I mean, the same intrusive force like I'm driving along. What, like in the videos just coming at me from a massive, articulated lorry coming at me like, starving to it or what's going to happen? That I have the, I mean, I could cause a mental in in their own thing. How can something so powerful and travel so fast, like, can't you pass the time you pass driving test 700?
00:42:02:02 – 00:42:27:04
Yeah, yeah. How how how are we making 17 year olds responsible for that fucking thing? And the last one. Sorry. The last crazy, I didn't say crazy because each to their own phobia is the strings on bananas. So when you're eating a banana, the strings that come off, if it goes on their hand, that goes on their body, they, you know, that it.
00:42:27:06 – 00:42:53:10
They're flipping out like that. Was it. Hope to peel them. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same in oranges when you got a lot of. Oh, I remember the name of that white stuff is Piff. Yeah, I've done that. So what you were saying about the. So I've only got bullet points of how people suffer from phobias, genetics and biology.
00:42:53:15 – 00:43:23:03
Yeah. Traumatic experiences, which I obviously get learned behavior, which I have seen that in for firsthand. What a dog. My. Yeah. My daughter's my daughter, my eldest. It was really a knock your thing went round the family friend's house that a young puppy it jumped up. It scratched the leg. At the time, she didn't say the dog has scratched me.
00:43:23:06 – 00:43:48:05
There was no marks on her. She didn't cry. There was no. There was nothing. And then the next time she saw a dog, she freaked out, which then became a learned behavior from my younger two, who was copping the same behavior as my oldest daughter. And it just escalated. And it went to the point it got to the point where they would no longer leave the house, and we couldn't go for a walk in the summer.
00:43:48:11 – 00:44:02:13
We couldn't go to the park. And if we were at the park, they were always on the high kind of upper right. Is that, there in the. It was fucking one. I didn't know it got that bad. Yeah, well, when we came to see you. Yeah. You like you stayed in the car for about six hours. Yeah.
00:44:02:19 – 00:44:24:06
And then when they did want to come out, they just sat on the roof of the car or the trampoline where the dog couldn't come up. And love. Right now that I'm Frankie May I do? I'm a fucking Wiccan because they keep saying for Christmas they want a staff, they want a Frank. Well, let's talk about the cat issue.
00:44:24:08 – 00:44:49:17
Yeah, exactly, exactly. So I keep saying happened. Well, we they wanted to cat. Well, we got a cat. Arthur. Right? He was with us for three weeks, and then, we had to give him away. What did he do with it after? He was just he I we should have got a kitten, but we got a young cat, like, very, adolescent cat.
00:44:49:19 – 00:45:07:03
So he's always playful, running around the house, hiding in places. When you walk in, you jump out and claw you, nipping at you, those kind of things. And young girls don't like that. Well, I didn't even like that when I was fucking walking along. And he just jumps out from the stairs across the back of my leg.
00:45:07:03 – 00:45:27:14
I'm not a fucking fucking cat fucker of animals. They just stayed on top of their bunk beds for the rest of the time, because they didn't want to see the cat. Love it and get rid of the cat. You know, the bed to get rid of the cat. And I don't want to do that with a dog. So I think we're going to we'll put it off for a year.
00:45:27:16 – 00:46:00:22
Environmental factors. Evolutionary theory. I don't know what the fuck that's about. Psychoanalytic theory, conditioning and classical conditioning. I don't know what half of those things are, but what? Flavell. While we finish up this last part of five years, can you do me a favor? And can you search up the name for the phobia of fear of long words?
00:46:00:24 – 00:46:32:17
Can you, tell the listeners what it is, please? So I hope you've enjoyed the phobias, and you've, we've covered all of your phobias. I don't. If. What the fuck are they taking the piss? I, I, like why do that? That's someone taking the piss somewhere. Is that. It's insane, innit? All right, I'll go give it a go.
00:46:32:19 – 00:46:40:21
Go on, my son. Go on. Hang on a second.
00:46:41:11 – 00:47:07:24
Right. It is. Sorry. This is terrible podcast. So the. So the fear of long words is actually one of the longest words you will probably hear or see. It's fucking, mental. I've never seen I've never seen a word as long as this. Not. So. Why have they done that? Someone's just gone. We going to be right?
00:47:07:24 – 00:47:37:19
Assholes. Here. Who gives the names to these things? Like what? Like, er, a phobia makes complete sense. Yeah, right. But this. All right. Okay. I'm going to give it a go. I want to do, hip hop. Hip hop. So monstrosity quip bit deadly of phobia yet. Very good. Let's get it. Poem monstrous. Equip your phobia. Yeah, someone's been a broken other.
00:47:40:05 – 00:48:02:09
That is absolutely madness. There's fear. I've got this fear of long words. What's it called? I don't want to say, but I know this. There's so many. Like. It's like a the word like dyslexic. It's such a hard word. So we can have somebody who is dyslexic. What the fuck? Right. What is the hardest word spelling about?
00:48:02:11 – 00:48:29:08
I've got the hardest. What? Gone. And the diarrhea is a hard word spell. My fucking awful. Why are they done? Right? Do that. Why? That makes sense. Like what? You suppose it. If it doesn't do the job? The word doesn't do the job? No. In my head, in my mind, I'm always like diarrhea, right? Just so, so in my I, my phobias often play out in my dreams.
00:48:29:10 – 00:48:51:21
Oh, God. Yeah. So I will dream about my phobias all the time. So I dream about sharks a lot. When I was a kid, I dreamed about sharks all the time. I used to dream about great whites, but different colors. Sometimes it be a green and white, one blue and white, one brown and white, one. And I dream about plane crashes and being in a plane crash every week.
00:48:51:23 – 00:49:18:06
I had one last night. I had one last night. Oh my God. Really? Yeah. And to the point where I'm not aware, I'm dreaming. I feel like I'm in it all the time, mate. All the time. I a lot and often it's like, I'm in. So we were in a there's last night this was which I was in, I was in a, Easyjet but it was a new one and it was, it was a new jet.
00:49:18:06 – 00:49:34:17
And we were kind of it was all open. And the people that are in there, I kind of knew, but I was sitting backwards so much like where the stewardess would sit. But it was open and there was glass above and behind so you could see outwards. And the pilot just flew it upwards, directly upwards until it stalled.
00:49:34:17 – 00:49:55:03
And I was I was calmly, oh, what's going on here, man? We doing that for. So that's what we get to Spain man. It's what I've holiday anyway. And I woke up. That was that. God, I, I remember when I am, when I used to smoke weed all day, every day, and I'd never have a dream.
00:49:55:03 – 00:50:29:02
And then when I came off of it, I used to dream all the time. And it was fucking mental dreams like that. And thank fuck that has stopped because you'd have a fear of going to sleep after those fucking dreams. God. Yeah, right. We're going to go on to dilemmas and something only you know. So the dilemmas. Well, the dilemma is called nightmare next door neighbor and something only you know, it's called it finally happened.
00:50:29:04 – 00:50:56:22
Now the topic for next week is going to be 80s 90s TV shows. What was your favorite as a kid, teenager or young adult? If you're in our, age range, can you remember any strange ones? I remember there was one on Sky one. I think it was called Monkey Magic, where, a Japanese guy would call clouds from the sky.
00:50:56:23 – 00:51:20:14
Yeah, I remember that. And then he would jump on it and he would just be flying about on it, like, what the fuck was that about? No idea. Yeah, I liked him. Yeah, I like that as well. He's like back think. Yeah, yeah. Remember that thing? Yeah. He had a bulletproof, bat wings. Yeah. And again, like what you're saying at the top of the show, Transformers is the fucking goat of all of these.
00:51:20:14 – 00:51:43:18
Barnum. I also want to talk about Transformers. Good. That's good. So if you've got any that you want to submit and you want to talk about, or you want us to talk about lads anon pod at gmail.com. But red, red shoes, red shoes, diaries. They they called me, they hit that multi one.
00:51:43:20 – 00:52:17:00
They. Yeah they were the days. Right. We're going to go into dilemmas. So just tired. You got an issue for a tissue. You're a bit sad cause I will give you an aching in your soul alone in your flat. Please talk to Vicky Flanagan. Let that stress off your chest. Well, friend, you deserve to play like you're safe here to get nice and warm between Vicky and then.
00:52:20:06 – 00:52:46:24
Nightmare next door neighbor. I have a next door neighbor. He calls me at least once or twice a month and asked me to go around his and chill. We aren't very close. Aside from the odd neighbor niceties, normally those calls come after he's had some relationship issues with his wife, and I can tell he's steaming. In the past, I've seen him get in his car late at night and go for a drive.
00:52:47:01 – 00:53:06:16
I've told him not to do this many times. He called me at lunchtime the other week and I could tell he was pissed on the phone. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was just driving around trying to find something to do because he didn't want to go home to his wife. He's an absolute unit size as well.
00:53:06:18 – 00:53:26:19
I've heard him talk about his friends. We had a falling out wave, and I know that he can be a bit of a psycho sometimes. Couple that with the fact that he's my next door neighbor and I'm hesitant to call the police on him, what the fuck do I do? He's going to damage himself or someone else sooner or later.
00:53:26:24 – 00:53:54:14
But I also don't want to be a grass. I mean, the grass thing isn't you don't concentrate on that. It doesn't matter. Like, you know, fucking a 14 year old boy. No, you know, it's not about Grassing. Don't worry about that. I can understand why you don't want to create an issue for yourself that isn't there already. But imagine how bad you'd feel if he killed someone.
00:53:54:16 – 00:54:22:18
In it or himself now. And it's. Well, like, I don't know if the first thing that came into my head is if I. You don't know if you've, if this gentleman's got kids. But when all these situations always happen, I always put myself in those shoes watching my kids were playing out in the front of the house and he pulls up in the driveway and he's steaming, and he puts his foot on the accelerator, and he power straight into my kids, like, anyone's kids, anyone's pet.
00:54:22:18 – 00:54:45:03
You know, that can't fucking happen. And that cannot happen. What do you do then? Did you call the police when he pulls out and you go, you know, he's been drinking. This is he's you got a game. I think there is a isn't there a police line like a one man one or some shit like that where it's not emergency police, but it's like, would that make you feel better that you're not grassing him up to the proper police?
00:54:45:03 – 00:55:07:11
He just goes to the non-emergency one. Well, I'd ask him what I should do, and at least I would have that, on record to say I've contacted them. And then if they say, actually, you should go to that, you know, police, police, then I'll probably do that. But then I couldn't then go, oh, he's pulling out his driveway now.
00:55:07:11 – 00:55:22:18
It's 10:10. I can see what he's doing and be on the phone and stuff like, it wouldn't get back to you, though, anyway, would it? You know, like the police don't say. Oh, by the way, your next door neighbor told us it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter if they catch him driving. Then they catch him over the limit.
00:55:22:20 – 00:55:51:21
It. You didn't need any more evidence than that. That's enough to convict him. Look, ultimately, you, protecting him, you're protecting a potential victim who could be hit by him. And you probably might even help him getting his drinking in check. He obviously hates his marriage. So being sober might give him some clarity and make the right decision.
00:55:51:21 – 00:56:15:21
He's often drinking, is a way of not having to deal with the difficult things you have to deal with, like a bad relationship or a bad marriage. So often when people are sober, it will be something stressful or, something difficult. The time for you to drink. Because when you've had a everyone knows you've had a few beers, you feel on top of the world.
00:56:15:23 – 00:56:40:03
That problem that you had sort of disappears for a bit. And then the more drunk you get, the problem comes flying back with a vengeance. Mate. You need to get out of his relationship. By the sounds of it, that's not on you. I think, you know, I understand why you're conflicted. I think in this instance, the right thing would be to figure out what's the advice from police in this instance?
00:56:40:05 – 00:57:05:07
Get you talk to him. You told him and it's stop drink driving, stop drink driving. You said it. Some people don't take the hint. Do they say, yeah, I go to the, go to the roses and see what they have to say about it. And, yeah, this something I, you know, is a short but sweet one.
00:57:05:09 – 00:57:35:14
Way. Something, you know. It finally happened to me. First time writing in. So. Hello. Since the first time it's been discussed on the pod, I've been wondering if I could get off while asleep. Two. Being that I'm a woman, I've definitely had sexy dreams before, but never to climax. I can now say it's finally happened to me.
00:57:35:14 – 00:58:04:07
At last I woke up from a sexy dream. I was in the middle of sweet release. I wasn't even doing anything to myself. It was incredible. I haven't even told my boyfriend and it's probably sad to say. My immediate thought upon waking up was, I have to tell Ricky. That something. Oh, he. I know.
00:58:04:09 – 00:58:26:17
I see what you've done, Rick, but I'm but brilliant when I, when I, when I read that, I was like fist pumping on the table. I was like, fuck it. Now what have I done? Jesus Christ, no case was asking me about it. Chris has me up for, you know, the Jack party? Okay. Yeah. Wait. I mean, we could sit.
00:58:26:18 – 00:59:02:14
We could still do what? I mean, like, I it's so. Charlie, this is just thinking aloud here, right? And we we could we. Charlie's got a studio in Shoreditch. Yeah, or somewhere around there. Bricklaying. Something like that. And he's got a space for 80 people. A bar, a closed off room. Like, could we do, like, an eagle, you know, live version of of of of lads.
00:59:02:16 – 00:59:26:11
We, I mean, that would be. Yeah, we could we've got the venue because we've got the venue, but what can we do that was funny. I mean, do you remember the idea about the location? Yeah. We should talk about this. Yeah, we should do that. Would they? That maybe have a Christmas Eve party? Party? Yes. Sydney's a name.
00:59:26:13 – 00:59:46:20
Send us an email or, give us drop us a message on social if that's something that you would be interested in. Yeah. Come up to a lads anonymous Christmas party to a Friday night. We're just a few drinks, nothing massive, just in a room chatting to people in our own safe space. Closed off not to general public.
00:59:46:20 – 01:00:08:00
And then we could go on to a couple of pubs afterwards, maybe. Yeah. Is that something that interests you? If so, contact at lads. None at all. Yeah, well, email if you have to. All ages. Everyone's welcome. Every gender. Yeah. Well you said not if your gender. Is that what you're about to say? No, I was going to say not all ages.
01:00:08:06 – 01:00:18:03
We we, you know, we don't want under eighteens coming because you know, people living with pedophiles again.
01:00:18:05 – 01:00:41:00
Alex, I gotta tell you what I found, I found it, I found a, I found a loophole. Where? Right. Or a loophole? That's a bad one. So you can just be found. I found a way around this problem we've got with Transformers one. Okay, if there are any one of these, like, younger, very young, not very young, but as in, like, I know in your teens, you're into lads.
01:00:41:00 – 01:01:05:00
And on and you're listening to the pod. We could potentially go and watch Transformers one together. So the outside of the group, people don't know that they're there for you and your son or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. That's it. We we would we wouldn't look like predators because, like, because all we want to do is watch, watch the Transformers one.
01:01:05:00 – 01:01:38:16
That's all we want. Yeah, yeah. So hit us up, man. And on that. No, we will see you next Monday. The night I see, like, Band of Brothers playing tunes high is quite midnight. Waves surfing free time, daylight breaks, rhythm hit different ways. Love of music that we prayed with our tongues in cheek. Band is I, we like to speak and yeah, times change.
01:01:38:16 – 01:01:45:03
But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers.
