Full Episode Transcript

00:00:02:19 – 00:00:29:06
You never guess what I'm doing today. But I am going to buy the family Christmas tree. We always. Yeah, buy a real Christmas tree. But the little twist on it is we. Normally we used to go to Ikea because they used to do a shit load of real Christmas trees. Don't do them any more. Then we went to, like, being queue and places like that.

00:00:29:08 – 00:00:47:21
But there's a place that I found near us, probably like a 20 minute half hour drive, and it's fields and fields of Christmas trees that are planted. And you walk around with your family. You pick the one you want and then they get a chainsaw and cut it down for you. Yeah. So stick it in your car. Yeah.

00:00:47:22 – 00:01:07:12
You think that's good? That sounds like a good laugh to me. Good luck to you. Sounds like a lovely thing to do. Rostock. Is it? Every year? Your tree never fits. It's always too big. Take it, take it. Measuring tape. This year I've got videos of Ross trying to get this massive tree up his house. He's got. He lives in a bath townhouse, right?

00:01:07:14 – 00:01:26:15
And they've bought this tree. Looking at you like this is. That's not that's not going to fit. That's not going to fit. But anyway spot anyway. But you're right. There's videos of Ross trying to get this tree up the stairs because their living room is on their first floor. Townhouses. You know, you generally. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, in the middle floor.

00:01:26:17 – 00:01:43:03
He's just trying to get it instead of thing. It's clearly bending, so it's not going to fit in the room. And he's got to make it's too big but it's there. That's your tree. You're not taking the tree back. They just cut it down for you. So so it's it is. It's too big. How tall it is. Too big.

00:01:43:04 – 00:02:02:07
How tall is too big? How what it is. It's just too big. And they did cut it in half and put it improperly. So there's the basic. You've just got a Christmas bush. Crazy. What? What do you have? Do you have a real low, fake? Got a fake one, but not a level one this year?

00:02:02:09 – 00:02:20:15
Oh, he said no, because we've got two kittens. She said they'll pull it down and they'll eat the wires. So we're just not having a tree this year, that is. Yeah. I have made my feelings clear about this, but it's. I feel like you need to make it clearer. I don't know how it clearer than I really, really want a tree.

00:02:20:16 – 00:02:41:08
Why can't we have a tree saying that it directly into her eyes. Then it has to be more clear than that. But she's more concerned that the cancer tree through the wiring electrocute themselves. And I'm like fucking cats. You don't cost anything. You just go. You put it on Facebook saying, we want some cats and they come to you on your monitor at mean, like people at by cats.

00:02:41:08 – 00:02:59:24
What the fuck is wrong with them? Like, people would listen to this and they bought cats. You don't buy cats, you don't cats anyway, so I'm sure of it is we're not having a tree. We're decorating, but not a tree. But my dad, on the other hand, loves the fucking tree. So yeah, yeah, we'll be there by a mile there.

00:03:00:01 – 00:03:20:21
She. But for years we always had real tree. Always had real tree. Fucking loved it. One year she got so pissed off with a previous tree and no, the need was for it. And she was like, right, kids, next year we're going fake. And we were like, okay, I can see, see, you're angry. And by the time we get round the next year.

00:03:20:22 – 00:03:37:12
So she had to change their minds, we would come back to the real one. She got a fake one. We're like, okay, we'll go with it. As soon as it went up, we were all looking at each other. We were just angry with each other. I mean, this is like, this is shit, mum, look what you've done. You've ruined Christmas.

00:03:37:14 – 00:03:58:08
This is rubbish. And she was like, I have ruined Christmas Eve. And then the year after that went back to a real one. That's the. That's the real way. A real one's the nicest. They smell lovely. The smell. Me it's just so. It's so nice. And, one of the trees that we bought from Ikea, I got it back, and I was just about to cut all the netting from it.

00:03:58:13 – 00:04:16:11
And I looked at the trunk, and there were thousands of these, like, lice, insects on the trunk. So I had to get it back in the car and take it back to Ikea, be like, what the fuck is that? And they're like, oh shit. Yeah. Hey, guys, you want this one instead of yesterday? I wouldn't bother to do that.

00:04:16:13 – 00:04:28:17
Well, I'll take you back in the car, wash it. What would you eat that. Just put it up. I wouldn't have said anything. I just put it up.

00:04:28:19 – 00:04:55:15
On them night. Hazy like Band of brothers playing tunes. Highs quiet. Midnight waves. Surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm of different ways. Love of music I we prayed with our tongues in cheek. Band. Banzai. We like to speak and yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Promise.

00:04:55:17 – 00:05:16:03
Hello and welcome to Lads anonymous. It's episode 48, a podcast about two best mates of over 20 years invite to join their safe space where all manner of subjects will be discussed. We'll focus on a specific subject matter first and then answer your questions, dilemmas or need for advice or handled anonymously. So sit back, relax and enjoy the podcast.

00:05:16:05 – 00:05:23:21
How's it going, Flav? I was in the pub last night and we were discussing the slow.

00:05:23:23 – 00:05:53:08
What would you call it? With the slow demise of Devizes Town Carnival? When I first moved there, the floats were incredible. They put so much work, were working on it all year, and you're like, wow, for a small village, that was it. Is this a cream by one or just, it was actually in September, but for some reason we were talking about it again, the Christmas they have a light parade where all these kids from local schools make these little lanterns and carry them around the street.

00:05:53:10 – 00:06:31:23
Hey, yeah, this rubbish is rubbish. We just stayed in the pub. We didn't bother with that, but. But the. But. No, but then we got on to the carnival, right. And when we got in there was a floats that were pre-built and they would exist for the carnival. And it was like there might be a balloon on a float, or there might be a history throw or book float, and it's all like, oh yeah, that would inspire you to go and watch Disney films or read a book or go to your library or, this year, the highlight of the, of the carnival was a flatbed truck and the local transvestite grip on the

00:06:31:23 – 00:07:02:14
back just waving to people. That was number one. That normal bloke, Terry in the front drive in, and then the local, they were transvestites. They're just men. There was. It was drag. Right. Okay. Waving at me like, I don't mind that. There's nothing like they were always there. They were always there in the carnival.

00:07:02:16 – 00:07:20:05
They weren't the highlight of the carnival. The books will highlight the carnival. And I just think, like, well, if this is it, is it is this. This is what we look forward to every September. It didn't even decorate the truck. It was just a normal flatbed truck.

00:07:20:07 – 00:07:48:23
And I think, I mean, it's a huge demographic of these guys in, in devices, I like yeah, there's like, LGBT groups and stuff. They have like, drag shows and stuff like that. Yeah. I mean, they supported and everybody always supported. Like devices was quite small. A small. Yeah. Yeah, it's small, but it's progressive. It's like about as progressive as you'll get in a, in a western West country sort of place.

00:07:48:23 – 00:08:14:22
Like don't get me wrong, they're not voting labor or anything, but they like there are there are yeah LGBT groups here and they are supported and loved so well. What other floats? Well, the point isn't about the transvestites. The point really is just how they've let this carnival goes to pieces. And the carnival and the transvestites, carrying the float on their shoulders.

00:08:14:22 – 00:08:38:19
Currently. Good for them. It's the local council is the problem. Yeah, yeah. So what is the other stuff? I don't know whether it's investment, funding, Covid. I'm not sure what happened, but the only ones are still staying true to it. The LGBT community we've got, we've got a little cream by one here. And it's quite nice because I never know when it's going to happen.

00:08:38:19 – 00:09:03:08
They don't advertise dates. They don't do anything like that. Not that I'm aware of. And sometime in December, in the evening will be watching telly as a family or just chilling out, and then you hear something in the distance. Some like reindeer bells or some music and you think you see the floats here? Fucking everyone get everyone get your coats on.

00:09:03:08 – 00:09:25:01
Everyone come stand outside and we get outside. The little parade comes along. Give a little wave to send a little wave to, you know, the fairies and everyone else that there. It's quite nice. But again, it's it's it's not like they could be. It could be doing a bit more about it, you know, I mean yeah. So there needs to be more effort.

00:09:25:03 – 00:09:44:05
So it's like do it properly or don't do it. Oh yeah. It's like when you have to go and watch your mates run a marathon you like, come on. This is about as exciting as that. Like if you ever run a marathon, I am not going to be there. I'm not going to be there to meet you. The the final, the the line I don't that's fine.

00:09:44:07 – 00:10:13:15
I would never run a marathon. I've watched three of my mates run marathons London Marathon and Milton Keynes Marathon. The last one, one of the owners was running it and I'm out with my other goon and me, and we drove round to the three different parts of it so we could meet him and chairman. We were like that and it's like, at night, maybe 11:00 in the morning, but we bought cans for the journey.

00:10:13:15 – 00:10:31:02
So we were just like drinking and everyone's like, waving, and we're like, vaping and drinking beer. Come on, get your legs covered. But the most unhealthy lads there. You hear them on, mate? Meet us in the pub after you finished and we'll have a chat about it. I think we have a chat about why don't you get on?

00:10:31:02 – 00:10:51:02
It just ran like it's a good, good, good. I wouldn't mind people doing the marathon right if they didn't do the marathon. If you're not allowed to talk about it. And I will support you in my own way. Are you doing the marathon? Are you? You know, many people I know in my life to run a marathon, I'd say about 56.

00:10:51:04 – 00:11:11:12
So now when I'm told the 50 say when you want a 57 person is telling me what you. I'm not going to give you money as well, because I've already supported 57 different charities and you won. And it's definitely not going to resonate with me. So see you in the pub. Could you ever see a world where you run a marathon?

00:11:11:14 – 00:11:18:01
I think that ships out. No it hasn't, it hasn't.

00:11:18:03 – 00:11:45:20
No. Nothing not to do. I like a great, time or anything like that. Just to say I've run a marathon. No, I don't want to say that. Or someone that, you know, works at a charity. A the guy for a tough time. You've got a big platform. They need help. And would you please just turn the vest on and just do the marathon?

00:11:45:20 – 00:12:08:22
No, I'd say get your brother to do the marathon and I'll tell everyone about it on the podcast. I've done my job. I've built the audience up on the hard bit, tell them to train for four months and run around for 26 miles. I can't see a world where I would ever fucking do that. No way. I you know, I've got a hernia rivaling going, no hernia that slowly descending to my right bollock.

00:12:08:22 – 00:12:30:05
Right. I can't think about running 26.2 miles currently. My concern is if I walk too fast down the street, I'll have an enlarged right bollock. That's a genuine concern. That's not something like, oh, let's laugh about it. That could well happen. I could the next time I stand up, this could happen. It probably will happen because that is the only way that they're going to tackle it.

00:12:30:07 – 00:12:50:19
The doctor said to me when I went to see her a year ago, maybe a bit more. It might have been in between one of the lockdowns. It. Covid is hard times as we've since two. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. And I can't tell you exactly when everything happened in the four years of preceded Covid or the part of Covid.

00:12:50:19 – 00:13:15:18
Anyway, the doctor said to me that he's a hernia green. And you know, I know I've had it fixed. I had it fixed in 2018. It lasted six months, popped out again, and I went, can you put it back, please? And he was I know, because it's not significant enough in order for us to risk surgery, because all surgery has come to be at risk of infection, all that sort of stuff.

00:13:15:20 – 00:13:32:20
Yeah, just live with it for a bit until it gets worse, and then we'll look at it again. And I was like in my head I was like, that doesn't make sense. What you the worse it gets, the more complicated it's going to be. The recovery is going to be worse. Nip it in the bad boy. Yeah, it's in the pit, in the pot.

00:13:32:22 – 00:13:50:02
And, And so when I went back because I listened to the doctors and, and now it has got worse and I've rung them up and I said, can I not have put me in with a surgeon? I've got an appointment next Wednesday. But the what's the waiting list? Waiting. It's going to be like on a hernia. It probably four months.

00:13:50:04 – 00:14:03:09
And you know, last four months ain't going to last four months. That is going to be and you're not going to see it. Yeah I'd love to see it. All right. After this.

00:14:03:11 – 00:14:26:21
Video though. Oh okay. That's good. Video is good. I just want to say it. You want to look at it square in the eye. So last week we did two podcasts, one on language, which was the main, and then we had a quickie with Ricky where you said in your words that there was a long list of words that we currently use, no longer use that.

00:14:26:21 – 00:14:48:18
I said to use some words that when I first met you, I. Oh and split and divert blood lover. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you bring them up? Did you? I did bring them up. Yeah. I don't know where it all came from. I don't, I can't say it was I think it West Indian. Y'all know what I, I, I tried many times typing in on Google and I just couldn't get the spelling right.

00:14:48:18 – 00:15:13:23
So nothing came up. Some of them West West Indian brethren from school. But like that's what I was used and spluttered about. Everyone use that as out. Let's out that is. Yes. I've never heard of that. Yes. Yeah. I'm sincere. Like, actually, I told two terrific stories on the quickie with Ricky where I had misunderstood the language.

00:15:14:02 – 00:15:41:11
And what do you mean? People knew that? I didn't know what I was talking about. So there was. So there was one where when I first met Adela, when I moved to London, and he. I didn't know who he was and what he looked like. What was his name? Christian. I remember you mentioning Chris. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, your brother at Costco.

00:15:41:13 – 00:16:03:14
And when I first met him and I was like, I didn't know what he looked like, where where to meet him. And we were coming down the same road, and he was like, oh, you Ricky. And I was like, yeah, yeah, guys. Ricky, what you saying? And I just said, I didn't say anything, mate. And I said, well, and I said, I didn't say anything.

00:16:03:16 – 00:16:23:22
And he was like, nah, that I know. And he was like, laughing, trying to tell me what what what you say means in London. Fuck. What was it that you panicked in the moment or you didn't? It wasn't an expression you have. No, I'm from Milton Keynes. No one says what you're saying. Really know what you're saying? 23.

00:16:23:22 – 00:16:46:09
Free that. So. Yeah. Yeah. What you're saying, Rick, is that I didn't say anything, mate. That's amazing. We say him, we say. Yeah, that he says. And then there was another one where I was when I was working at Moorfields, and the young lads that I worked with, they would say when they'd leave for the day, they say, right, that's Anderson, that's enough man.

00:16:46:10 – 00:17:08:00
Yeah that's innit. Yeah. And so I assumed it's like dust you know, to see me for dust. Like dust. So when I left, I thought I'd hang around with the big boys and I said, say like boys. I'm dusting. And they went, sorry, mate. And I went, I said, I'm going. No, no, no no no, reverse, reverse.

00:17:08:00 – 00:17:33:12
What did you say? And I said, I'm dust in there. Oh geez. I'm dusting. They're all doing this posh voice fucking coaching me off. I was like, no, no, no, they know. So I did tell a few of those stories. And then the new words like raise, skip the low to the bar that people sent in and then was one of your daughters in to explain those things.

00:17:33:12 – 00:17:49:11
That's what you said? Yes I did, I did get a lot of those words from my daughter. I should have got her on the pod. I you reckon I'm might not, but that might be a thing. You know, they get her on the pod and talk to her about what language they use in. Yeah, for sure that we exist on me today.

00:17:49:13 – 00:18:13:21
Yeah. And, someone who listened to last week's dilemma sent in their reply for the dilemma. So if you've listened to a dilemma from this pod, the main pod, and you have some lived experience of it and you can, you know, offer you advice, then email in to the lads anon pod at gmail.com and we'll read out your reply.

00:18:13:21 – 00:18:42:24
Now for Christmas. It's coming up to Christmas. By the time people listen to this, it's going to be December. And for the month of December I would like a free present and this free present. It's just going to be, again, if you meet people and you're talking about podcasts, make sure lads anonymous. In the convo, you may think just telling that one person, your friend about this pod, it's one person.

00:18:42:24 – 00:19:07:21
It doesn't matter. It does because that one person listens. They tell their friend, they engage of our content, the pod grows. Everyone's. So we're not say please. If we chat to anyone about podcasts or what to listen to on a drive, long flight or anything like that, then, you know, for our Christmas present, shout out Latin on Love You buy.

00:19:07:23 – 00:19:38:22
Okay, we're going to jump into today's topic. Now, today's topic is about technology and the way that it's affecting society. So this came in from a lad who was a bit concerned about the impact of technology on his children. How is it affecting their, communication, the social aspects of life when they're doing homework now? It's it's all computerized, all on tablets.

00:19:39:03 – 00:20:08:15
So not even having to use fucking handwriting or anything like that. So I thought we'd just have a conversation about technology and how you feel about it. Now, I'll start off with a biggie because it's the easiest one, and for me it is a problem. It is a problem. Addiction, like being addicted to my dick was related. Well, what is that?

00:20:08:17 – 00:20:33:19
I'm that go to sex assist the poor game. Show me your presence is I'm the best there is about to be the braving the the grading, the breathing, the battery. Your naked and the catch me I like that is necro the sex assist. Oh shit. Oh man. Like really? Remember there's nothing positive about Necro. Sorry. Addiction. Well well well the addiction to technology.

00:20:33:21 – 00:20:52:03
Yeah. I've got another question before we go on addiction to technology that involves Dick. Yeah. With sex robots. Yeah, this is in it. This is in here. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. For that now. Yeah. Fuck it. Why not?

00:20:52:05 – 00:20:55:09
Is it cheating?

00:20:55:11 – 00:21:22:24
Well, at the moment it wouldn't be. But then when does it, when is the crossover like. Because surely even in the year let's just say the year 2060, we'll just say that. And we have robots. This tech. Not that old man by then. No, it's got to be. I said, this isn't five years, okay. Five years in five.

00:21:23:03 – 00:21:57:12
Like a robot rookie. Where by that you're talking and doing commands that it would automatically fulfill or deliver that command. Robot, can you hoover the house? It knows to pick up the haven. Hoover it? Yeah, but then when you're having sex with the robot, would you want it to be able to hug you and say you different kind of words encourage it means go on that you're doing well.

00:21:57:12 – 00:22:20:05
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's the spot, right? Gotcha. I guess ideally you would want the robot to be as close to human like as possible, I guess. I think that's the what? If you're working in technology and you happen to be working in this sector, then your aim would be to make it as human as possible.

00:22:20:05 – 00:22:25:05
That's what they'd be working towards, wouldn't they? Sure. Yeah.

00:22:25:07 – 00:22:55:16
So is, say, using a sex toy? Is that cheating? Sex toy is not cheating. No, it's not, is it? Of course not. Not getting sent in there. Not right. A sex toy that vibrates. No. No sex. So that might move. Or you can maneuver or mold in some way. No, no, no. So why is it if you put arms and legs on the sex toy, did it suddenly become a conscious issue?

00:22:55:18 – 00:23:33:12
That's that's a good point because I thought I saw where you were going and I thought, you know, Fleshlight, no one's got a problem with those. If you stick a flashlight in a robot, then suddenly we've got a problem. Man. Now I'm the freak. Yeah. It's that it's interesting. And it kind of you kind of dipping your toes into the conversation about something much bigger, which is conscious eye and, the idea of eye being to self propagate, read and feel and build and make better itself, and to get to a point where it may be impacted by what you do to it.

00:23:33:12 – 00:24:02:04
Now, if you go to ChatGPT, which seems to be to me, to be one of the most significant steps forward in society and so on, inside, inside, in terms of technological development that, that you're in, you're in a situation where right now, for free, I can open up ChatGPT and I can have a conversation with an AI and it will listen to me.

00:24:02:04 – 00:24:26:16
It will remember my conversations and our relationship will develop and build. It will come see that whatever it is will be called. Will get to know me and I to test this out. The other day I drove about six months ago, I was driving about half an hour conversation. I had a half an hour conversation with a robot with AI on my phone as I was driving.

00:24:26:18 – 00:24:55:11
Did you really? Yeah. Just to see how immersive is this? I wasn't talking about music, talking about film, talking about driving. Me. Oh, I wish you two recorded this. This shit. That would have been fucking call it a. I don't know how I would have recorded it. I suppose you do screen records on your phone. Yeah. You can and and while I say obviously I was always it wasn't a moment where I forgot that I was talking because it's the speed of which it replies is, is is slow.

00:24:55:11 – 00:25:16:10
And yeah, I'm not saying slow is in like five seconds. It's like half a second, but it's a converse and no natural conversation is is it may take half a second, but if you take half a second it's usually deliberate. Whereas in I it's it needs that time to process search and come back to you. Yeah. Still massively quick given what he's doing.

00:25:16:12 – 00:25:42:18
And so so so there's, so, so there's that situation where I was like just just to see. And it was easy. It was, it wasn't like because of how it's programed it, it's built to produce a conversation. It's easier than talking to some adults, I would say, did you do this on ChatGPT? Yeah. And it was, it was via voice that you did this.

00:25:42:18 – 00:25:57:18
Yeah. There's just a little, when you, when you log in, there's a, there's just a little, microphone and it comes up and it's a little spot on the screen. And then when you talk, it moves. When it hit talk, it moves. And when it's listening, it's they still I'm going to fucking I'm going to have a go on that.

00:25:57:20 – 00:26:25:11
I use ChatGPT like daily just typing right stuff. But where if you put that I in that ChatGPT or whatever it is, continue being developed into the sex doll or the sex robot. Yeah. Then at that point it starts to become like for once in a very base. Now question of whether it's cheating that then starts to become problematic, right?

00:26:25:11 – 00:26:39:21
Because yeah, you can develop a relationship that's parasocial with this one piece of AI that's talking to hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, it is talking to that.

00:26:39:23 – 00:26:58:11
That feels like it's cheating. And then if you ask you, you're cheating on your wife with a robot and your robot is cheating on you with masses of people. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And, and if you ask you, how many people are you talking to right now? Which I did, and it said, I'm talking to many, many, many people at this.

00:26:58:13 – 00:27:41:10
It's so cool. Okay. What was that film you recommended to me? Is that what it's called? Yeah, it's the Aqua Phoenix. It's brilliant. It's by Spike Jones. I think the director is amazing as well, but, I think it's Spike Jones, but the the film was is 15 years old. ChatGPT. Although I was a thing then, we still talk about the same film where the guy flies into the mountains, into that compound and there's, I robot know why it's that, I don't know, you recommended me a film, and it was a it was a robot.

00:27:41:14 – 00:28:12:07
This guy, he was kind of like, he wins a competition. He's a developer, and he wins the competition. And he gets flown to this mountainside where the guy who owns this company, he's there, and he invites this guy, but he he. Yeah, I swear, I don't know what that is. I don't know what it is. Is a robot, like, knocking about, and I think he builds a relationship with it.

00:28:12:10 – 00:28:33:17
I don't know about that, but what I can't remember, maybe. But what's more pertinent is, which is about a man who gets his I this to help him, right? And he ends up forming a relationship with the AI and falling in love with a.

00:28:33:19 – 00:28:56:23
I mean, it's. Yeah, this isn't, shit. No, that's not the film I'm thinking about. I that sounds wicked, man. What is wicked is Exo is an excellent, excellent film. So the thing that always gets to me, I have a feeling that this whole podcast is going to be about sex robots, and I'm fucking all right with that.

00:28:57:00 – 00:29:31:24
The thing is, the the it's the touch. It's like, if you're okay. So a primitive robot sex robot, like C-3po, but it's got a fresh light. And you're clambering on a colored bit of metal to rot away. And even though it's like the kind of the key in how it speaks to you, the speed, it's telling you what to do it, it's enjoying it, whatever it is.

00:29:32:01 – 00:29:54:19
And it's that's all fine, but it's the it's the physicality of it, the touch. Do you think would ever get to a point where we must get to a point where the robot actually feels like human flesh? Well, I think more likely it'd be, you know, like these, Well, I can't remember. I don't know what to call it.

00:29:54:19 – 00:30:13:18
I spoke to Lee about this. You know, that the $6 that you can buy, if you're really rich and you've got loads of space to hide them. Yeah, you know what I think? What? Real dolls. Something like that. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like 15 grand. Like, if you're spending 15 grand on a sex toy, you got too much money.

00:30:13:20 – 00:30:32:23
And and then that again is that, is that infidelity? If you buy the sex doll, it's just there. But it's in human form. But it's just an inanimate object and just pumping out. It's not really. It's the same as is weird. They wrong and you wouldn't want to be in a relationship. We were one of those, probably. But if you just asked a binary question, is it cheating?

00:30:33:00 – 00:30:55:06
No. But would your wife be okay with you shagging it, though? Probably not. And the thing is, is, well, it's a it's going to be it's going to be big in it. Like where would you hide it. Where do you hide them I imagine. Right. Ricky is is a quandary for you. Right. And I think this is one that was posed by a friend of ours, a show, Joss, who might be someone else coming up.

00:30:55:06 – 00:31:19:13
But he said, right, so you get a knock at the door, there is a delivery man. Yeah. And he's got a big box for you. Yeah, right. You bring it inside and it's one of these real doors. So people that don't know take a moment to pause. If you're in a safe environment, Google real textiles. They're like, they've come a long way.

00:31:19:19 – 00:31:39:05
I've had to do this. And I'm only saying this because, I've researched this before for the love, the other podcast that I do with Lee. Yeah. So I don't, I don't I don't just know about these things or I've researched forged from right. It's clear. So people listen to this. So this shit man I've just I've just googled it and look at that.

00:31:39:09 – 00:32:10:14
The total size of just of wow, wow, wow. The dicks look good. So said nothing. Yeah. What did you something I just put real sex though. And it's. And then I'm on real dotcom and there is some. Okay. So. So this is real though. I mean this is very good. This is I like seeing all that stuff there.

00:32:10:16 – 00:32:31:19
But what I'm saying is this turns off what you do. Right. So you haven't ordered it yet. This turns up your door. So these a lot of these you you haven't ordered it but it just turns up. It's arrived by mistake okay. Oh my God this one here when I. Robot it says inside his head. I'm not joking.

00:32:31:21 – 00:32:37:06
I mean, they still look so strange.

00:32:37:08 – 00:32:44:12
Your perfect companion. Your perfect companion in the palm of your hands.

00:32:44:14 – 00:33:20:23
It moves. I mean, there's a couple. There's a deluxe half torso here, and it just, you know, if I've come in at 2:00 in the morning, jacked up to McGill's, pissed up, and I sit in there probably to the, Yeah, yeah, they say so. This appears so. The body is like 4,000 pounds. The total cost of the 6000 7,349 pounds dollars, the I you've got, you can set the eyes, the make up style.

00:33:20:23 – 00:33:43:12
You can select the hair and the color. Breast options, one type of breast. So you've got like those ones. And the vaginal style is a send sex Bluetooth insert. Oh you can say what all the different ones are all different. They can play music out the Virgin.

00:33:43:14 – 00:33:54:10
Yeah. For an additional cost. You can, So, this arrives at your house, Ricky. You're like, oh, what's up?

00:33:54:12 – 00:34:04:10
You've got to open up. And it's one of these. Those you're missing is due back in three hours.

00:34:04:12 – 00:34:08:15
What? Are you there? Okay.

00:34:08:17 – 00:34:13:02
I think realistically.

00:34:13:04 – 00:34:26:11
You would you would open it up. You would try and find the label for it, try and find the dress. Try and see. See who is most likely going. Just a label with no labels just says you're welcome.

00:34:26:13 – 00:34:30:19
Would you?

00:34:30:21 – 00:34:49:03
Well, let me just let me let me make this okay. Because if you just say, I would just send it back. It's boring. Yeah. Have to have sex with it. Right? Right. Okay. And see what we got. And then I, what I would do is I would try. How heavy is it? Is it. Hey, I'll tell you.

00:34:49:09 – 00:35:07:14
Bloody heavy is that. Give me two seconds. I'll tell you the fucking way of the thing because I, you know, you can't like if it arrives at my house, I've got a hallway and then it goes into the front room. I can't have a sex door in my front room and try and go there. It weighs 70 pounds.

00:35:07:16 – 00:35:35:23
That's. That's a lot. That's my weight. Up 70 pounds, I think. So this is approximately this is what those, in the term parent are not easy to handle because of their weight of approximately 65 to 70 pounds. Right. So you've got a 68. So let's go on the lighter side. You've got a 65 pound doll. No, no, I'm not 70, 70 pounds I think is five stone.

00:35:35:23 – 00:35:59:14
I've not five. So. Okay. Ricky, so let's let's do something about this place. Right? You've got a five stone doll, right? Your house, your your why. You've had you have to have sex with it, right? Yeah. Right. Then what do you do with it? You're in your house, right? It's five stone, so I can lift that and I can maneuver it.

00:35:59:14 – 00:36:27:02
So we, we have a I added a loft ladder. Okay. So I would get into that loft, drag it upstairs, put it on my hip and walk up the ladder, take it into the loft, into the corner. No one ever goes up there and it's a mess. And I would hide there and I'd probably have a go on it in the cold loft.

00:36:27:04 – 00:36:51:10
That's the only thing you can do. That's the only correct answer, because all to try and get around it quickly, you would at least try it out, but then like, you know, the downstairs cupboard underneath the stairs with whoever is like, could you hide it there? She'd find it. I mean, what would you do? I don't have a loft, so.

00:36:51:12 – 00:37:13:17
My only option would be to dispose of it. But how do you dispose of a life sized doll? What about your little, barn or the chickens? Are my people going there all the time? How long? You can't. They're the only option I have is to dispose of it. The only way I'll be able to get that in the bin is to chop it up.

00:37:13:19 – 00:37:41:13
Imagine, imagine if your wife and the chopped up sex doll in your bin. Well, that's worse than finding the. If. That's worse than finding a hole. Fucking. Oh, yeah. That being a delivery, wouldn't that. I mean, God, that would be horrible. Yeah, but I would, like, I've seen some, like, the what is it called? Animatronics.

00:37:41:15 – 00:38:12:05
But like, with, like in East Asia where they are when they've got their kind of robots and they're able to manipulate and kind of they've programed a face to twitch and, smirk and the texture, the color, the the look of these heads, it's like they they can be real people. I mean, they're not real people, but they look, they look.

00:38:12:07 – 00:38:38:07
He's not there. Yeah. Is it? Yeah it is. Honestly I've seen it. And if that was then put onto a body that worked in the same way, then there's going to be problems for some dark stuff available, isn't there? Because if you can replicate a human body, you can replicate the way it looks and to any dimension. You imagine how many sick people would be doing mental stuff.

00:38:38:09 – 00:38:58:18
He I mean, yeah, you know, like, I've just sort of, you see where there's that fake me, isn't there? That's like grown in, I can't remember school, but yeah, I haven't had any of it yet, but impossible, like true meat or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you could do that. Like grabbing a fake human in a petri dish.

00:38:58:20 – 00:39:28:08
Like for a sex, though. Like it just going down that, like you could they you could, but, I mean, would that become what? That become a normal human then? No. I hope if they're talking about that, you're talking about, like, cloning and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a start with the sex stuff straight away. Like, if we're going to clone a human being, which essentially effectively makes us God the first when he goes, oh, well, fuck it then let me.

00:39:28:10 – 00:40:03:16
We've created life, didn't you? We've created life. And how is it going to help civilization? By, helping doing housework. By helping engineering, building a megastructure, you know. Fuck it. Nah nah nah, this is just. This one's just for sex. This one. Just. Just for the sake. Let's just sex. Talking about, sex and addiction. So with the, with actual technology, I find myself.

00:40:03:18 – 00:40:28:24
And I wouldn't just label it as social. The addiction to tech is for me. I, I feel it, I definitely feel it. There is a lot of people that are probably listening to this and know that the first thing they do when they wake up is look at their phone. Last thing they do is look at their phone when they, like things.

00:40:28:24 – 00:40:55:11
Operate your house. Alexa, turn the lights on. Alexa, turn the heating up. All these different components of tech in your house, how your house runs. Oh, I, I would say I definitely have a phone addiction because the nature what I mean, they I think they do. But is it a phone. Is it an addiction. All right. Or is it you?

00:40:55:11 – 00:41:18:23
This is a part of who we are. It's an extension of ourselves. Now, like you, you wouldn't say you're addicted to using your hand, would you? Trick or you're addicted to using your feet to walk. You need your phone to do everything now. It's an extension of our of the human body. That's why I see it. So there's one this is a couple of things is you can be addicted and and there are unhealthy things.

00:41:18:23 – 00:41:45:07
Like I will open my phone with my father as I've just done, and I'll instantly click WhatsApp without thinking, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah. It's and then eventually probably Tik Tok, right? Yeah. So I'm not using it for something that's functional. I'm using it to distract myself. Yeah. And the more I think that will become more and more of a thing in terms of it's not, it's the your phone is an extension of who you are.

00:41:45:09 – 00:42:03:13
Now, I'm not saying it's is positive. I'm just saying that's how world has become. I can do my job without my phone. I can communicate my family as well. Without my phone, I can't communicate. My friendship groups wouldn't be as strong as they are or as far reaching without my phone. Yeah, so there's always this. Leads say your addiction is a negative thing being addiction, anything.

00:42:03:13 – 00:42:29:09
But also there's lots of positive stuff to come through to phone as well. Yeah for sure. With like and again I kind of see instead of sign addiction and an extension of yourself a phone I also see as is kind of like.

00:42:29:11 – 00:43:00:23
Just trying to think of the the white is is like society society's progressed. So society has progressed and we all use phones and we all use phones to do different things. So it's just like a way of life. Now do you know? I mean it's like in the fucking 30s, like nobody had cars and now Ford Motors or whatever that brought out production where everyone had cars and were using cars.

00:43:00:23 – 00:43:33:04
You wouldn't say people are addicted to cars with G. It'd be like, that's just coming to normal life now. That's that's what we do. So I, I mean, there probably are people that are addicted, but again, for work, I feel like I feel because of the work we do, I feel I would like to use my phone less, and be on social less and be more present in my household, my family, and just the disconnect.

00:43:33:06 – 00:43:58:15
But because I'm on my phone all the time, I do need to check and have, you know, finger on the pulse of what's going on. What kind of content is being pushed, what's viral at the moment. All these different things. And I would like to kind of break free free of that. But you know because of what we do then I don't think we'll ever do that until we, we quit doing this.

00:43:58:17 – 00:44:07:13
But we've, we've not defined because you're online all the time.

00:44:07:15 – 00:44:29:23
Is security an issue? Do you think that, like, you feel threatened online is in cyber security? You're going to get hacked. You're going to get. So it's going to take a day, someone's going to do this. Someone's going to. I'm always told it happens, but it's never happened to me. So I'll just assume that it's all right.

00:44:29:23 – 00:44:54:00
It does. Yeah. I've got I've got VPN, I've got Bitdefender, and I've got Malwarebytes on my phone. On my computer. If it gets for that. Well, I'll tell you what I got. No, I tell you what the fuck. You know, any of that is VPN. What? I'll tell you what I'll tell you. A good example is if right if you get malware Malwarebytes or you get Bitdefender go on any porn site.

00:44:54:02 – 00:45:18:06
Yeah. And then you'll you'll just see warnings picking up. Ping ping ping ping. Yeah yeah, yeah. So so it's like malware or keyloggers going on your computer. So you know that all these, all these websites, if porn websites exist. Yeah. Just shows a ripped content. Yeah. So if you go on one, it's like it's not there because it's doing your favorite look.

00:45:18:09 – 00:45:51:10
It's very important. Is it. It's like they want information from your computer. See if you're if whatever you're using is free, you are the commodity. Yeah. Facebook YouTube. If you're if you if you're not paying for it, then you are the commodity your war how the company make money. I had a it's the first time I've had this actually I think it's since we've been doing the pod and I was doing some I was editing some videos.

00:45:51:12 – 00:46:20:00
And do you remember the gentleman who was bashing one out with the cam go. Yeah. And then and then the screen went black and then it was someone that had the screen recorded him. But that's different. You don't being hacked there. You're, you're you're in you're being honey trapped on you. It's like like NordVPN wouldn't save me from that because I've gone into their chat room and they recorded what I mean, but they record your face while I am recording your face right now.

00:46:20:02 – 00:46:49:13
So I think mine was like, when I do, if, you know, if one was to stumbled upon these sites and needed to, do fluid themselves, then I had this kind of pang of fear that I imagine the camera that they're able to access my camera. And they were they were recording me. Now, I, I would it wouldn't be like my whole body where they would see everything, but they would see my face.

00:46:49:15 – 00:47:06:17
And it's just like, I love that they were just they would just see a face staring at a screen and then like the last 30s like a contorted face. Yeah. And you know, next, next time break. Record yourself. Just send it. Just I don't want to see any like I don't want to see a decorative image of the.

00:47:06:17 – 00:47:09:18
See your head.

00:47:09:20 – 00:47:37:18
I want it set up as, my only fans. That'll be my niche. Just recordings are just off my face. Yeah, I've gone through the whole process. 32 minute videos. Just so I, to people talk a lot about mental health issues with, being online all the time, looking, keeping up with the Joneses, you know, all that type of stuff.

00:47:37:18 – 00:48:28:16
Do you ever get affected or are you kind of like, I in my line? I don't really look at anyone. So you're comparing but comparing your own life to other people's. Yeah. Like the Instagram or just any kind of now even to a lesser degree, like Netflix and stuff like that. So your, our choices of what we're able to consume now and not just social that the tech that's available, that where you're kind of looking at your own life and seeing how other people live like you get quite a lot of for Netflix isn't just high end films anymore, and there's like a bit more lower, lower quality even on YouTube and stuff.

00:48:28:18 – 00:48:50:08
So people get caught up in these rabbit holes of, they're my age. I should be doing that. Oh. Right. So you're you're saying you're watching Netflix and you're thinking you're seeing a program with someone your age and he's doing better than you? Yeah, yeah. Or on social media. Yeah. Not really. I used to when I was, like.

00:48:50:08 – 00:49:10:16
Yes, you, when you were younger and you see other people on Facebook and Instagram leading their life that you're not leading and not or not having as much money. Member for a long time feeling like everyone seems to have so much more money than me. How do they fucking do this? Yeah, but yeah, older, like 43. I'll be 50 in 70 years.

00:49:10:16 – 00:49:29:04
I'm seven years. I'm not. Well, well, well I'm not. I don't even look at Instagram. I like social media. I don't use it in the same way. I'm not watching what other people are doing on Instagram. I'm not scrolling through everyone's pictures. Yeah, I'm posting my own picture and then putting it down, you know? I mean, yeah, that's true.

00:49:29:06 – 00:49:56:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean really do you I yeah, I bet I would say no because I'm more on social watching videos of people sleep over, hurt themselves that my favorite videos absolutely love them. But there will be an occasion where I'm like, where I'm friends with someone that I went to school with and they've got a mega big house, and I'm like, how the fuck they got that?

00:49:56:04 – 00:50:16:04
Like, that's mental, or they've got a really nice car or they're on holiday. That's like the seventh holiday of the year. How are they going on holiday? So much like, what the fuck are they doing? The able to to do that. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. No, no, I know I've got friends of ours. Actually, one of someone would literally listen to this.

00:50:16:06 – 00:50:46:13
We can say her name. Jess. She loves it. Yeah, she loves the company. She's always supported, and she always reaches out. But the funniest thing is, I, like said, I've told this. I've told them about this. I've mentioned this to them, so this will be a surprise. But they love a holiday. And why wouldn't you write the successful people that didn't leave for themselves and then just sing like that every time on Facebook that we're in there in Greece or they're in they're gone down to the West Country or I just love, love holiday.

00:50:46:17 – 00:51:05:13
Now I am I, I follow Jess on Instagram. Yeah, yeah. Can't remember if it is this summer or at the beginning of the summer. She was in Italy for like nine weeks or something like that was they were just like they were just traveling. Everyone was like, yeah. Is this something ever going to end? It's going on.

00:51:05:15 – 00:51:25:11
I would get back to work. Back to work. Because the thing is, is if you don't, you know that I know that just runs their own company. And I know that, they've got a baby and, so they've got the means to do it. But when you were outside, if you didn't know them, you like, you might think that if someone can go on holiday that much, how can I why can't I?

00:51:25:13 – 00:51:42:14
Yeah. No one's got to lay in a much no one. And that's what you got to think of. You got to think of. Yeah. No you can't. Compared to the person who's doing their running their life that way. You got to think about the 99% of the people that aren't aren't I have an idea. But they're not that set them jump in excessive for the point.

00:51:42:14 – 00:52:09:18
But yeah. Some positives on social the the accessing of information and how quickly you can get stuff. Now do you think? Well, I was going to say that, you know, that's a positive. But do you think it's I mean, it's a positive in the fact that I can jump onto any browser or copy and get the information that I need.

00:52:09:20 – 00:52:30:08
But then there's almost 20 years we've been able to do that. I reckon we I mean, that that is but the, the kind of new part of misinformation, so the tech. Yeah that's that. Yeah. Yeah. I watched the video the other day for the first time in my life, and I didn't realize it as I. Really. Yeah.

00:52:30:12 – 00:52:54:03
So most of the time you'd be able to tell you like something I'm not write about it. And you're like, yeah, the stuff that ends up in WhatsApp groups is like stupid, playful stuff. It's, I don't know, Elon Musk. And he's saying how much he wants to kiss Trump. Yeah, or something like that. And you're not. Right.

00:52:54:03 – 00:53:19:15
Okay. It's his face, but it's, you know, but this is something completely unassuming. I saw it was a it was a fisherman saving a baby polar bear. And I'm looking at it and I'm going, this is incredible. And I'm looking again. Surely the polar bear might still, even as a cub, would attack, attack. But it's almost like there's one bit with a polar bear sort of looks up at him.

00:53:19:17 – 00:53:37:13
If he finds him hanging onto the side of the ship. And you look at now I'm describing this, it sounds like, how could anyone believe this? But I'm watching it and I'm like, this looks like real life. He's looking. And I'm like, this is real. I sent it to Charlie. Anyway, the only thing you can tell is if you look at the fingers of the fisherman, they're not quite right.

00:53:37:15 – 00:54:10:18
Yeah, but they will get that. That's one of the only things that everyone says about I, and kind of the pictures is if you look at hands and fingers, you always be able to tell. But like you said, they'll get that. They'll get it, right. Yeah, I know they will. And then what happens then? Because we will be living in a world where we are fully entrenched in our kind of online community, social web forms, whatever it is.

00:54:10:20 – 00:54:41:09
But you never know what's real. Yeah. What what, what world we like at the moment we're sharing stuff of because we've seen a video clip of, that no. Starmer saying something. Starmer in that speech where he said, sausages give us back our sausages or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And and then that gets shared. And there is how do you see that the speech about Starmer.

00:54:41:09 – 00:54:58:16
And he went off on a tangent and was talking about, his favorite dinner is a full English. And he up sausages and then you see that clip and it says give us our sausages. And you're like, oh my God, he loves a full English today. And then you're sharing it's your family. Stuff. Get spread so quickly. Manipulate it I think.

00:54:58:18 – 00:55:20:23
And is scarier than that though right. Because that's just a bit of fun. That is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like what what is going to be used to motivate political situations in the world like that? You could probably use AI to show Russia launching a nuke. Yeah. Right now, the world would believe it. All right. And then the Americans are going, right.

00:55:20:23 – 00:55:48:00
Well, they've launched a nuke. We're going to destroy them. I mean, you're exactly right, because this is the the propaganda that Russia are showing about Ukrainians, what they're doing to soldiers and AI and stuff. And it works both ways on how it's coming across to America, to Britain, wherever. Who is to know what the fuck is going on.

00:55:48:02 – 00:56:22:02
And this is just going to get worse. As as we of get into the future need to be some sort of mechanism put in place that safety net where AI generated content could be caught through AI and I trap if you like. So everything browsers is universal project product that is spread across like, you know, like, what we talk about like virus protection on your on your car or on your phone or on your computer or Bitdefender or whatever it might be.

00:56:22:06 – 00:56:39:01
It's like an AI filter that detects things that are computer generated as opposed to, it's stuff that's made by humans. I don't know how they could do that, but if you imagine you can create a video.

00:56:39:03 – 00:57:01:01
But you cannot, which would fool the human eye, but it's still just numbers, zeros and ones, right? So there would be a program that understands how artificial intelligence is used to create imagery and video. And so you get a marker on your screen that says this is AI generated. I don't know, it's this is fact. It's a it's a fact.

00:57:01:03 – 00:57:14:04
This is one world, one of them things that you can't do anything but don't worry about. Yeah, yeah. Don't we don't worry about it. Just think about it. About the news I don't I don't know. Yeah. Why would you want me to think about it. And then I'll think that nothing changed.

00:57:14:06 – 00:57:43:21
Right. We are going to be moving on to dilemmas. The dilemma is called keep em or spill the beans. And then there's something only you know. Where did that nugget come from? The topic for next week. Right. It's Christmas fluff. And we've been talking about languages, technology only fans because it's Christmas. I want to be a bit loosey goosey, you know.

00:57:43:21 – 00:57:57:01
I want it to be a bit more fun. This one is a topic that was sent in. It simply says sandwiches.

00:57:57:03 – 00:58:37:14
Your favorite sandwich. The most overrated sandwich. You Brits. Yeah, but, yeah. Condiments. The filling, the size. Where's the best place you've ever eaten a sandwich? Where's the worst place you've eaten a sandwich? Actually, we want to see pictures of the establishments and of the sandwiches that you've eaten over the years. So if you've got any stories or any places, any recommendations, any parts on where you're steadfast on how a sandwich should be made, like for mine, it has to be cut into triangles.

00:58:37:16 – 00:59:00:17
Otherwise I don't want to fuck you. No. Absolutely disgusting in any other way. You cut it in four triangles, not four triangles. I'm not a child, but just 1111. Call it a corner. I'm with Gordon. Because if you cut it in half like houses than ever in the sandwich. Don't want it. Disgusting. Send everything into lots. Unknown pot.

00:59:00:19 – 00:59:06:18
Gmail.com. And we're going to go into dilemmas.

00:59:06:20 – 00:59:33:22
So, just tired. You got an issue for a tissue? You're a bit sad, can will taste you? I can, in your soul, alone, in your flat. Please talk to Ricky Flanagan. Let the stress of your chest. Well, friend, you deserve to be relaxed. You're safe here to get nice warm between breaking and.

00:59:33:24 – 00:59:37:02

00:59:37:04 – 01:00:01:00
I've been seeing someone for about six months. Despite a slow start to start, things are starting to feel a bit more real. We've got to the point of introducing each other to our friends. I've met a bunch of hers and she's met a load of mine. Two the trouble is, I've been single for a long time and loads of my friends are women I've met over that time who have ever had one night stands.

01:00:01:00 – 01:00:28:20
We've dated or had friends with, benefits, situations we have with all of them. We've remained friends after the sex has stopped, whether that was just once or after situation. Ships lasted a lot longer. They're all really close friends and I wouldn't want to lose them. My question is, do I tell my girlfriend the ins and outs of how we met upfront and be honest?

01:00:28:20 – 01:00:57:07
Or do I keep it a secret and hope that it never comes up? So this is this person in a relationship. Things are going good. Last six months they've met each of his friends. A lot of his friends are women. And he's. Yeah. Well, I got a friend of mine who, went to his wedding. And at the wedding, there was about six women each act.

01:00:57:09 – 01:01:07:24
Oh, my good lord. Yeah. And it wasn't an issue because she was. He had checked them. He wasn't shagging them.

01:01:08:01 – 01:01:31:07
I mean, that's that's, you know, that's big of the, the wife. I think it's easier because men have a propensity to be more, you know, fling it about a bit, whereas women seem to have a lower body count typically, although this new era of women. But maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe not the case, I don't know, but they're liberated.

01:01:31:07 – 01:01:55:21
This generation of lazy. Yeah, they we would. Yeah. So if if in in if you, if I was at the wedding and there were five men checked my wife, I wouldn't be comfortable with that. Fuck. You would turn up to me. I went in, there'd be a strict policy at my wedding. Lie detectors. Everyone comes saying, you got to take that.

01:01:55:23 – 01:02:20:18
And if you've, If you've had a guy. Really? You, I don't tell her. I don't tell her. This idea of talking through your past. And women seem to be more obsessed with it than men. The past is your past. What happened before you met that person is really none of their business. And unless they want to ask questions that they know they might not like the answer to, you have to answer honestly.

01:02:20:18 – 01:02:34:17
But you have to say to them that this isn't really like, that's like you when you sit down and there's this kind of cute conversation. So how many people have you slept with? You don't want to know the answer to it. I don't want to know the answer to it. Jesus. Want me to tell you what? Everything I did as well.

01:02:34:17 – 01:03:01:02
On top of that, you don't want to know. You're being curious, and then it's going to hurt, and then it's going to become a problem in the future, perhaps in the future. So just don't ask. Don't tell her. If she asks, just say they're just friends. It's not, it's not. She doesn't have to know the information that you have in terms of I that, you know, if there's any risk or if there's any flirting involved, then that's on you.

01:03:01:02 – 01:03:21:20
That's your fault and the damage that may cause is on you. But if they're genuinely, legitimately just friends and you're not, there is no flirting and there is absolutely no risk. Which I actually don't believe. There's no risk that you can hook up again. I think there probably is a risk you can hook up again. If there isn't one though, then just go back.

01:03:21:20 – 01:03:42:16
You go back, you say, just don't, don't, don't bring up. If you play which comes up, it comes up, but it's not I. When I read this, I was going to go in the opposite direction and say, you know, cards on the table don't, don't hide anything. But having listened to what you've just said, that the the meeting before, it has none of, none of her business.

01:03:42:16 – 01:04:04:05
And, you know, it's your life beforehand. I would tend to agree with that actually. And if it does come up, if she does ask questions, then, you know, when she does ask the direct question, then you do have to be honest and say, you know, we do have a past, but there's a reason it was in the past and because of X, Y, Z or whatever.

01:04:04:08 – 01:04:27:01
Yeah. But yeah, maybe not go in. Tend to tell you say, well, what what is it that you just get. You sit down and go, so you know Sarah. Yeah. Check the. Yeah. You know, then, you know, to smash those, you know, Petra. Yep. So. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What were your friends? Especially a lot of cards on the table.

01:04:27:03 – 01:04:53:02
Smash a lot of them. All right, well, how long ago? The last one was about six months out. Right? We may be gone. Look, you essentially, you've it's a slight issue that you've created in maintaining platonic relationships with people you've shagged, like you've chosen to do that. And there will be with that complications in the future. But it's not like people like just because people go out was nice and that you stay in friends of them.

01:04:53:04 – 01:04:58:06
It might be nice, but that doesn't mean it won't cause problems in the future.

01:04:58:08 – 01:05:18:10
Yeah. So what? How good of friends are they? Really? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea if he's got one, if he. So, this young idea. I think you should start a phasing out campaign. Yeah. Phase him out. And also, is it how? Like, if that's. That's not your friendship. Close friendship group. Is it just women that you've sacked?

01:05:18:10 – 01:05:41:16
That can't be right. That's not helpful. That's not healthy. That's it. Just just slowly cutting out your left. That's great advice. We are now going to be moving on to something. Only you know, why? Something, You know.

01:05:41:18 – 01:06:09:15
Where did that nugget come from? About four years ago, I started to date my now girlfriend. Just like most relationships in the beginning, you have a lot of sex. Well, one night we were going at it and it was going great. We both finish. And as I pull out, she defaults a little and we both giggle. We were quite comfortable with each other, but I knew she felt embarrassed.

01:06:09:17 – 01:06:26:18
So I guess to comfort her, I stick my ass in the air and let off a massive fart. That what what? I guess I guess to comfort, whilst lying on top of her.

01:06:26:20 – 01:06:56:21
We both disgustingly giggle and after a few seconds start to make out and go again. After finishing again, I hot. I hop up, look down and there's a nugget of poo. Looking back up at me. She starts to get up as well, so I quickly pick it up and go to the bathroom. She's falling behind me so I panic and shut the door in her face and say, give me a second.

01:06:56:23 – 01:07:27:02
As I walk out, she walks in behind me. I sprint back into the bedroom to see a shit stain on the floor. I quickly grab some tissue and wipe it up before she comes back in. I then wait until she's fast asleep to scrub it properly. I felt so disgusted and embarrassed, but giddy at the same time. To this day, I don't know how she doesn't know and that is something only I know a good one.

01:07:27:04 – 01:07:44:21
That geezer was a stickler for the rules the other day about what it's actually is. Lots of people know about this one. They will like that one. That's disgusting like that. I don't I don't know about two wrongs make a right but sticking your ass. But in terms of, doing, funny for that. Yeah. I mean, you're doing a good job.

01:07:44:23 – 01:08:20:04
That means, like. Yeah, fully turned on, I. Yeah, well, I don't know about them. I don't know why they happen. I thought it's just, in their your hands to happen when this is especially aroused. Really? Yeah. They don't just come out dry I. Well, not. Well, I, I know the God I know, but I mean, the, the I was quite looking forward to seeing your face when the farting whilst, whilst on top of that farting and then I don't understand that.

01:08:20:04 – 01:08:49:18
That's not, that's not helpful. Oh, I let rip in front of my Mrs. all the time and she does to me. But I think whilst in bed, having just made sweet sweet love, I think I would refrain from doing it and certainly whilst on top of her. But that's just us. That's just me, you know, the old romantic not forcing well up on top of or inside by Mrs..

01:08:49:20 – 01:09:14:11
The topic for next week it's going to be sandwiches so I send this in. Anything that you think we should know about something like I love to hear some crazy sandwiches that people put together. And I was in the, in an office the other day and someone said, Rick, I have a sandwich that I want you to taste.

01:09:14:13 – 01:09:35:02
You never have tasted this anywhere else. And I'm like, what? What have you put together? I did it, he cut me off the slice, gave it to me, and I ate it. It was okay, wasn't great. It was okay. It was peanut butter and salad cream.

01:09:35:04 – 01:09:56:19
I mean, do you know I don't hate salad cream? I don't hate silica. I hate salad cream. And it it worked. There was the. So I was a bit it was a bit of mayonnaise and a bit peanut butter and I could, I could get the vibe, but still I don't like it. Yeah. Asuka you can't be doing that.

01:09:56:23 – 01:10:29:24
So I what? We want to hear your maddest sandwiches that you've put together the best sandwich way at the worst, your favorite. The different breads. We want it all, lads. A nun pod at gmail.com to contact us. And we will see you next Monday. Oh. Oh, The night hazy light. Band of brothers playing tunes high as quiet midnight waves.

01:10:30:00 – 01:10:44:23
Surfing through till daylight breaks. Rhythm. Here's different ways. Love of music. We prayed with our tongues in cheek. Band as I we like to speak. And yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Brothers.
