00:00:02:05 – 00:00:29:18
May have you. I don't want to go into politics again, but it's so fucking hard not to. When I've just seen this, you said, have you seen this clip of Elon Musk talking in the. Is it called the Oval Office? What is it? Am I just making it up? Or is that what we. These awful presidents? Yeah, yeah, the presidents of the summit.
00:00:29:20 – 00:00:53:23
I don't know, but he's there. And Elon Musk is giving a speech on something. Economy. Whatever the fuck it is. Yeah. And Trump is sitting down, which is all fine and you would expect. But Musk has his young son with him right standing next to him as he's giving this talk. He's as a young kid as you'd expect.
00:00:53:23 – 00:01:19:03
He's picking his nose. He's a bit fidgety. That's fine. That's what children do. But then it looks like. And sounds like Elon Musk. Child turns to Trump and says, you're not the president. You need to shush. And he also says the I can't even remember what it is. He also says something else to Trump now. Well we'll see.
00:01:19:09 – 00:01:40:02
What do you mean? Like is it was Trump standing next to Musk or something because I haven't seen him. He was sitting down behind his desk. The president now was sitting down by the president's desk. I don't know, he can't I don't know what I've got. I'm not I don't think Trump is a good thing. Right? Generally don't think he's a good thing.
00:01:40:02 – 00:02:00:13
Right? I don't think the world is good. Better place for him being leader. I don't know why, I just don't. But I'm not sure it's a good thing for the president to be undermined by a four year old kid. No. And like Musk is, that little kid needs to be front kicked out the window, mate. What's he doing there?
00:02:00:15 – 00:02:22:16
I can't, I mean, why would you even say I won't even reason Musk even bring him? I don't know. And Musk was from memory. Musk was quite dressed down, quite cash for someone that was speaking in the president's office and talking about the economy. Maybe it's this new PR, kind of like I'm a family man and I'm just like you.
00:02:22:17 – 00:02:44:04
There's no man. I wear the clothes Elon Musk that you wear. And I have a I have a child just like you by now. You either like him or you don't like him. No. No one's in the middle with Elon Musk. I do know that once again, I'm not sure about, you know, I mean, he did do the Nazi salute, but yeah, what he did was trying to kind of help paralyzed paraplegic people.
00:02:44:04 – 00:03:05:07
So I'm on the in the middle. Yeah, I mean, you there's a couple of issues, right? Imagine your four year old saying that someone you get clipped around the ear. Wouldn't he be respectful? That's an old man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. And, not. What the fuck is going on over there? Look at the American people listening to this, right?
00:03:05:07 – 00:03:25:18
There will be American people listening to this, and you'll know it's your country. We're not for, you know, English people looking from the outside, looking in. I can understand how irritating that can be, but from the outside looking in, it looks mental. It looks fucking crazy. Like, why is Elon Musk now? It feels like a powerful, most powerful person in your country.
00:03:25:20 – 00:03:50:07
He's not even America. He's not even American. No, he's not even American. He's from South Africa. Like he's come in and he's just taken over. How how we see how people are comfortable with that. The people like pro-Trump, the kind of nationalist American. Are they comfortable with Elon Musk's? I know some people that vote. Lots of people vote Trump, and they're not all racists, sort of Deep South, you know.
00:03:50:07 – 00:04:14:02
Yeah. Yeah, that's and I think that's kind of what the left from our perspective, the left would have you believe that everyone who follows Trump is a racist. And that can't be the case because he's won the election twice and not everyone. That would mean, like, you know, more or less half your nation is a proper racist, which, you know, everyone's a little bit racist, but not that racist, right?
00:04:14:04 – 00:04:33:11
So so if if it means that people are voting for Trump for other reasons as well as racism, and it may be that they just feel like opportunities are not there, that they might be worried about immigration, whatever it might be. But some of them must be well annoyed that an immigrant has come and take over. And he's now the most powerful person in in the country.
00:04:33:13 – 00:04:59:24
Yeah, I do wonder how that fits with, obviously, like you would just say voting for Trump and the right and anti-immigration was he promised Trump money when everyone get out the country. If you're not if you're not American that that type of rhetoric. But then you have Musk is South African and it's just kind of, in a way, running the country.
00:05:00:04 – 00:05:24:04
No, I mean, it just is. But he's got his ear for why. What why is he must become so powerful? Is it because obviously his influence and his money, it's just given Trump what he needs to get in. But you could really see you could genuinely see a world where he becomes the president of America. Oh, 100% Elon Musk.
00:05:24:06 – 00:05:56:15
Yeah, yeah. And the thing is, I did see something that so Musk is going about. So he's his new role is to go through governmental departments to slash the wage bill, cut red tape, save money, all this stuff. But there's also this other, thinking that he has and the team that is working for him have access to all the secret documents, all the stuff that's been buried.
00:05:56:17 – 00:06:36:11
Now, that makes Musk a very dangerous person. If he's got all this information, knowledge is power. Right. So he could he could let something slip about Trump that's been hidden. Trump then gets taken away from being the president. And then who's left standing Elon Musk Elon Musk can't wait.
00:06:36:13 – 00:07:02:16
On the night. Hazy light band of brothers playing tunes. His quiet midnight waves surfing free till daylight breaks rhythm. Here's different ways. Love of music I 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. Promise.
00:07:02:18 – 00:07:40:06
Hello and welcome to lands Anonymous is episode 67 I'm Ricky Haze Flav, two best mates, one main topic we answer your life dilemmas and confessions and I'll feature something only you know. And everything remains anonymous always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the pot Flav as we record. It is Friday the 14th of February. It's Valentine's Day. The air is thick with love and positive vibes and rainbows, all of that stuff.
00:07:40:08 – 00:08:04:24
And everyone hates me in my house. Do what he does. Everyone fucking hates me. There's no love here. Is it because he. What have you done? So I'll tell you and I'll tell you whether or not you deserve this hate. Right. Okay, so my youngest daughter, it was her school disco yesterday. She went along to the school disco.
00:08:05:01 – 00:08:32:20
She was knocking about of her mates, and one of her mates asked her parents if three of these girls could stay over and have a sleepover after the disco school night on a fucking school, and I thank you. Right. So two of the parents said yes. What? And then it went to me to say whether my youngest daughter could go or not.
00:08:32:22 – 00:08:57:21
And I said, babe, it's a school night. And she said, it doesn't matter. Her parents will get a get us all up. We'll go to bed early. I said, I know I wake up every single day at 6:15 to get you girls ready for school and walk you to the bus stop and all that light, right? And we make it by the skin of our teeth every single fucking day.
00:08:58:01 – 00:09:16:22
You are lying in your bed. I can't get you up. I literally have to shake you to get up. These people's parents are going to be doing that with free people, to get them to school on a school night, as I it just, I love you. I know you're going to be disappointed with me and I'll take that.
00:09:16:22 – 00:09:33:22
I'm a parent. I'm not supposed to make easy decisions all the time, but it's a school night and I don't want you staying over there. It's half term next week. Fucking stay around there five days in a row if you want. They stay around there. Whatever. But not on a school night. I ruin the disco for her.
00:09:33:24 – 00:09:57:06
She was upset. She was messaging me. She's angry. She's crying. I've ruined their friendship. I've ruined their life. She's not going to talk to me. So that was number one. Do I deserve. Do I deserve it? No. You did the right thing. Right. Okay. Thank you. Do you know what I was get? I was literally on the cusp of calling you up because I know that you're a well, you and your wife.
00:09:57:07 – 00:10:23:10
You're quite. What's the word I'm looking for without being, disparaging your laid back liberal parents right now? Will can, knock about of his mates and, you know, play PlayStation. And you trust Chloe and. Yeah, we've been I mean them. Yeah, but there's lines. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I have long I was wondering if my line was too tight on the school night.
00:10:23:10 – 00:10:39:14
Absolutely not. Know. No. I wouldn't have been a world where that, that would have happened. No no no no. The problem is, is that it's not. It's what what kind of precedent is it saying that actually, no. It's fine. School nights are not that important. And I know it's a one officer school, a school party. It doesn't matter.
00:10:39:14 – 00:11:04:12
It's a school night. It's like it's it's important to understand the parameters of what's acceptable. And a wow remedy. Who doesn't understand that and cannot understand that and won't? Oh, sorry. I have to see the name. That's fine. Yeah. Like she doesn't understand it. She, She doesn't have to understand it. You're. You're her parent, and therefore,
00:11:04:14 – 00:11:33:07
Did it go on? But, I mean, did you get full support in your decision? I did, but my Mrs., was kind of like, you know, when a teacher asked a question and they're looking around the classroom for someone to answer it, and you try in your brain to not move, not make eye contact so that you've kind of, camouflage.
00:11:33:09 – 00:11:57:03
The teacher won't pick you out. So Donna was just sitting on the sofa and not moving, not doing anything so that she didn't have to try and be like me. I didn't have to engage in it. Well, but then, you know, there is there is a role for the dad, and there's a role for the mom. I believe that, and sometimes that has to it's typically that, that that does it.
00:11:57:03 – 00:12:20:16
Sometimes it isn't that way. There is. But in a parent parental situation, there are. There's a soft and there's a hard. Yeah, sometimes you do need to be backed as well. But I think, I appreciate why she didn't want to get involved and, and and it doesn't maybe it doesn't take to. But if it gets to a stage, she would have to say, oh, I you know, that did the right thing, I think.
00:12:20:18 – 00:12:47:13
Yeah. I think she, she did support I think she was because obviously, Remi was messaging my message and saying, you've got to speak to that. You've got to do something here, ma'am. Right. Because he's, ten now. She is 1111. Nice. I it doesn't your word is final. Yeah. And I kind of like I was saying, I understand the being really.
00:12:47:13 – 00:13:06:12
And I wasn't like, sometimes I am that dad. Are you like, I used to be that dad of all my dad. Whatever I say goes no. No conversation. And that's, you know, that's it doesn't give them a voice. It doesn't give you. No, it doesn't have that. Especially that he's able to. Exactly, exactly. She's a young woman.
00:13:06:12 – 00:13:26:17
She's, like, going through a lot at the moment. So it's. The thing is to give her that space. What what what what what what were the parents thinking of the other? I know you in this situation. Yeah, I want to do this talk. The parents should get together and go. We're thinking about this. How do you feel about it?
00:13:26:22 – 00:13:53:20
And we're like, we are not on a school night, but perhaps tomorrow, 24 hour wait, 24 hours, and then, you know, it's Friday. They can do what they want there. Yeah, that's that's on them as well. I have a they have a similar sort of thing. No, nothing similar at all like that. But there's someone I know and they allowed their kid to do something I would never allow at this at this age.
00:13:53:22 – 00:14:18:18
Well, I can't really say in case because this is so. I can't say specifically any specifics. I thought it just it's really interesting what some parents think is acceptable, what is acceptable in their life and complete. Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone can run their lives how they want to. What I, I was like, it made me kind of wince a little bit because I'm like that.
00:14:18:20 – 00:14:44:13
That's too much. Way too much freedom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because now I worry I wouldn't be able to sit still all night. I'd be so terrified. Oh, for sure. Second with the second one. Yes, I know, I don't think you'd be wrong. The second one, my oldest, she has a drama lesson this morning. Yeah, they were put into groups.
00:14:44:15 – 00:15:18:16
Groups of four, I believe. They were given four pages of Shakespeare in which they had to take on different roles, divvy up between them in their group. What is it? And then, I think it's Macbeth. I like Macbeth, and I can't I can't even remember what what role she had, and and he was in it, but they had to it as their group split to split the roles into for you take on the character, you learn your lines, you do the dramatization of it and do the acting and whatever, and you do it in front of the class.
00:15:18:18 – 00:15:46:08
Yep. And that's all. Knew her group didn't do anything. They just chatted, fucked around, blah blah, blah blah blah. And today is the day I know what you're going to do their performance. And she said, dad, can you please just pull me out? Like just just all going like doctor's appointment then, Dennis anything? Not that I would do anything.
00:15:46:08 – 00:16:05:05
And she was sobbing her heart out because she didn't want to be embarrassed, humiliated, and to see her classmates look on and them to not have anything and stuff. And I said to all your mates are in the same position, you've all fucked up. You've just got to take it on the chin. One of life's lessons you've got to learn.
00:16:05:07 – 00:16:25:20
And this is how people develop and how they grow. If you run away from the situations, you always do that and stuff like that. And then my missus was looking at me with puppy dog eyes and I was like, no, no, no, no. And I and then my eldest misses her nan and said, I will pay you 5 pounds if you get me out of this.
00:16:25:20 – 00:16:42:23
If you get me out of the lesson and I come around, you would do whatever you make it up, and then you drop me off at school. And what the mum? Well done as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well that would work Barbara. No came round yesterday. Yeah. And they floated the idea to me. And I said yeah.
00:16:43:00 – 00:17:11:05
And I said no, I said it's interesting because Emily actually said to me what her plan was, and I said, Emily. And I said, I know it's you're, you're not in. But I couldn't give a shit what you says. I'm your dad and I'm telling you what's going to happen. And you were going to go to school and you're going to take it on the chin because it's just all about learning.
00:17:11:05 – 00:17:30:06
So she hates me now for forcing her to go to school to face up to that. Yeah. No, unfortunately, that this is life. This is what you you didn't put the work in. This is the result. It's not my fault. It's my fault you're in this situation. It's awful. You're in this situation because your you did. You didn't do the work.
00:17:30:06 – 00:17:54:22
And in life, at some stage in life, we're not going to. This is what I would have been saying. And we've had similar sort of things like, a similar sort of thing where something happened. It wasn't to do with work. It's just Chloe got up late. She missed her alarm, and she's incredible, all right? She just can just function on her own.
00:17:54:22 – 00:18:16:14
We don't have to think about. She. She goes, that puts herself to bed. She wakes up on time. We never, never have to go into a room and go, Chloe, you know, hurry up for school. She's just brilliant, right? Yeah. It's it's. And but she's also a young lady. She's 17, so she should be good at it. But she has been like this for about three years.
00:18:16:16 – 00:18:38:08
And it's not easy for a kid to be that mature. So, she so. So she has got credit in the bank. Yeah. And one morning, one morning, she came down and she said she woke up late. She didn't have time to do her makeup, and so she didn't want to go to school. Yeah. And obviously for a young girl it's not important.
00:18:38:09 – 00:18:59:05
She's beautiful. And and you know, she doesn't even need makeup. You know what does it 17 to me in my opinion anyway. And but she it's important to her and she had to make it work. She had to get she's going to school. You can't go not go to school because you didn't have time to do your makeup.
00:18:59:05 – 00:19:18:19
Because if you have a job in the future, they won't care whether you had time to do your makeup. And we won't be here to save you. We won't be happy here to make excuses for the reasons why you can't go to work. So you have to learn and understand that sometimes life doesn't go well. Things happen that get in the way.
00:19:18:21 – 00:19:43:16
And what are you going to do to face up and solve that problem? And the result, the reason, the the correct lesson is you face up to your responsibilities because life forces you to if you don't. So Rick is hard. Is that was you 100% without shadow of a doubt did the right thing. You said that is the right thing to do, right?
00:19:43:17 – 00:20:06:23
So two out of three. I've got the third one. Yeah. Obviously my Mrs. is distraught that both her children are crying and just heartbroken at the decisions of me. Yeah. You know, I don't think she was she's, you know, she's back in me too. But she's also emotional because she's seeing that kids cry, but she doesn't like.
00:20:06:23 – 00:20:33:01
Right. I'll get it. Yeah. Yeah. So the house has just been like World War Three. I've, I've, I'm literally hiding in my office and I'm just thinking, like, should I just go down the pub and just nurse a Guinness or like, what the what do I do in this situation? I remained here and I kind of was still trying to be that, trying to act normal, just trying to act normal.
00:20:33:06 – 00:20:53:18
And Karen, Karen, on about the evening, as I normally would, making jokes and stuff like that. You saw it's so funny that kids, I'm not talking to you, dad. You've ruined my life. You've done this. You've done that, I know that, and then I make a joke, and I know they're coming along with a joke.
00:20:53:18 – 00:21:11:16
And they mention something and they laugh. And then it's like, oh, fuck, I'm supposed to be angry at him? Then she fold their arms and doesn't look at me. So I know this, you know, I understand the situation and it's fine, but you just got to try and move on. So yesterday evening was a fucking tough one, may.
00:21:11:16 – 00:21:31:10
That's part of being a parent in it. It doesn't. It's not always easy and is tough. You just want to be in that situation. Do you want to? Is there any world where you want to upset your two doors? No, obviously not, but you know that sometimes it's the right thing. And making things easy for them isn't going to prepare them for the world.
00:21:31:12 – 00:21:57:12
And you did the right thing, Rick. As hard as it is, and it is difficult to be that part because I feel like I have to do that as well sometimes. I've honestly, I genuinely have moments where I'm thinking about, am I being too hard, especially a wheel like my being, to if I can't get off his back, he's going to fucking hate me if I if I continue to just badger him like, yeah, yeah, homework or about cleaning the room or getting up in the morning.
00:21:57:14 – 00:22:16:24
And weirdly, I feel like something is clicked because he's getting much better at it. I've noticed it, but there's still times where I'm kind of badger name, and I'm thinking it gets to a point where he that he knows, he knows I love him, he knows I've got his best interests at heart, but I must be irritating. I must be because I irritate myself.
00:22:17:01 – 00:22:37:02
I mean, I hear my own voice go and fuck me. I sound like my dad. I do exactly the same thing. Yeah, I don't want to blame. I kind of feel like I don't do it if I let it go now, I don't, because he's such a lovely boy as well. And I wonder if I wonder, like there are other boys around that I've seen.
00:22:37:03 – 00:23:01:17
I've hang around with kids when I'm growing up, but we didn't have, like, didn't have a strong presence at home. And Will's got two. We've got he's he's actual dad and he's got me. He's obviously you spend a lot of time with him and I feel like. But while it can be must be stressful for him and he gets irritated compared to the kids I grew up with, he's a godsend.
00:23:01:17 – 00:23:21:24
He is a godsend lately. Yeah, but he is such a good kid. And. And like what? Like the things he gets in trouble for is, like, not doing his homework. I didn't fucking do any homework. I did buckle at school. I didn't want to be there. I didn't know homework. Why? I was exactly the same as him. Like, fuck homework and fuck.
00:23:21:24 – 00:23:35:11
All the teachers were giving me homework, you know what I mean? I understand if, but he can't. If I feel like if you keep it, then there's going to be a more sort of well-rounded kid who can cope with the world a bit. But that's that's kind of. And that's what you get to do. And that's what you did.
00:23:35:11 – 00:23:52:14
And the fact that you felt awkward, it means that you're you have that part of you, but they'll get over it very quickly. Why don't you just do what I love doing? Rick would like I'm looking to what can you do together? They love doing well. But can you take him out for pizza or something like that? Yeah.
00:23:52:17 – 00:24:16:18
You know what? We we this is going to be an interesting one. What we have got in the habit of doing and which we all enjoy, weirdly enough, all four of us, we go to the driving range. Do you really? Yeah, right. Let's fucking go down the driving range. None of us watch golf. We'll play golf. We've got to go to the gym.
00:24:16:18 – 00:24:36:19
Right. And just because there was an offer around Christmas time beginning of December, it's like, go to this drive in range, we've got X amount for four people, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And we all went there and we all had a great time and we got an extra hour on our session. And now we're just like dipping in and out or just going and going to the driving range.
00:24:36:19 – 00:24:55:18
It's so much fun. Right? So Rick, this is what you do. I don't know if you did today or tomorrow. Go to the driving range. Right. Play on the way home. Spend like not mental but just get a piece or take away and away and go look, I know I've been a tough that this week. I had to do it because I feel that was right.
00:24:55:20 – 00:25:15:17
I understand you're upset with me, but I love you and eat your pizza and that's it. Because ultimately, in the long the grand scheme of things, Rick, looking back, they'll know that you had their best interests at heart. Maybe not the little one, because she's 11 and she's just our brains don't work that way, you know? But as they get out of there, realize what you did, what you didn't.
00:25:15:17 – 00:25:37:18
You did the right thing. Because if it ain't this, what's the next thing or what's the next thing after that? Yeah. And she also said to my missus when she got home and she was obviously, you know, crestfallen and said to said to Donna, I said some really mean things to dad, and he's going to be so angry with me, and he's going to be so upset.
00:25:37:20 – 00:25:59:05
And my Mrs. was like, well, why don't you just go and apologize to him and just say so? Yeah. And she was like, yeah, yeah, well day. And then I didn't get the apology. Well I don't really need no. You know that she feels inside that. That's the thing. Yeah. There's been a couple of times in the past right where I've
00:25:59:07 – 00:26:20:20
Where I've had to use that, like, I've so allowed that this is so stupid now when I think back here. But it kind of felt important at the time. But that said, it would be this thing where you'd, you'd cook dinner I dinner right and will is on is PS5, PS4, PS5 now because I give it to him.
00:26:20:22 – 00:26:41:22
Oh well I had one in the front room and I wasn't using that. I was like, you guys can have that on. Yeah, let's set it all up. Nice. Yeah. And it didn't cost anything that other than what I paid for it years ago. So anyway, he, he would be playing a game online. And, you know, if people play games online, you can't pause it live.
00:26:41:24 – 00:27:02:05
Yeah. So I'd cook dinner and I'd call him, and the dinner would be on the table. And I'm looking at it, and he's not coming down and he's not coming down. And then madness. And he does eventually, like when the game's ended, he'll run down and come get it. But sometimes, like I've, I've spent 25 minutes making this food.
00:27:02:06 – 00:27:20:01
Yeah, I don't want to make this. I don't do any of what I want to do is feed everybody when I get home. Mum's at work. I don't want to do that. I want to sit with my hand on my trousers and watch fucking the Spurs get bad again. That's what I want to do. Yeah, but but but you do that because that's your job.
00:27:20:03 – 00:27:41:06
Yeah. My job is to make sure that they're warm. They clothed their bed and they love it. Right. That's my job. That's what I signed up for. So just coming down when you're cold for your dinner that I've made. Should be pretty straightforward. Anyway, in the end, I said to him, like, I've shouted at them, everything just didn't work.
00:27:41:06 – 00:28:02:04
Well, well, well, you know, when you don't come down after I've called and I thought made you dinner, it feels like you don't respect me. I think it's your. It feels like you're. What's more important to you is the game. Your playing is more important than what I'm trying to do for you. Yeah, and it landed like I tried everything.
00:28:02:04 – 00:28:21:04
And that's the thing that landed that he didn't want. It wasn't an it wasn't an intentional thing. He didn't want to feel like he was being disrespectful even though he was he didn't not intentional. And when he said that he he it landed. And the times when he's been in the game and he feels like he can't go, he goes, I know the game.
00:28:21:04 – 00:28:42:18
I can't believe just a second I'm coming to get dinner. That's enough. Yeah. And then he comes. It's so funny because there's going to be loads of people because everything that you're saying, I'm like, yeah, so, so so say, yeah, especially a fortnight next time if he doesn't come for his dinner straight away, just hide a big mound of salt in there.
00:28:42:18 – 00:29:01:00
Salt him out as he's eating it. He'll fall, trip up, get a spoonful of salt and then he'll know what he's done wrong. Since we got the kittens, you can't leave food anyway because they're like it. Like a fucking rabid little kittens. I don't know what. And they just. Let's just go and eat it. We trying to eat the food?
00:29:01:00 – 00:29:20:04
Yeah. You can't keep an eye. What do you even put on a leash? The kittens, like, everywhere. There's one little bit of the kitchen they can't reach. Our food has to go there. Well, it's. We go in time to do it. I don't have time to do a topic rig. Yeah, well, I mean, like we were supposed to be talking about idols, but I think we can.
00:29:20:04 – 00:29:42:17
Let's just do that next week. We just want to have a parent and stuff. Can we do well? What else is there? What what's else has happened? I'll tell you what. Do you ever worry about your kids going away from you? Because I, Yeah. So, you do worry about it. Yeah, I do worry about that. When my son together as a fact.
00:29:42:17 – 00:30:05:03
Like, as for the time together, when you call and you hang out and stuff. Yeah. My my girls, they're very much, So Emily is of age now. I know I've said, like, I've. I've been on the pod long enough to not mention my kids names for, you know, protection. But I've mentioned it quite a lot, and they say, I'm just going to fucking go over it.
00:30:05:03 – 00:30:22:02
I don't care anymore. And what do you expect to happen? I don't know, I don't know what that is. We used to be on a message board way back. And this is Ricky, quite sensitive to his personal information here on the internet, I think, as you should be. Yeah, but you've always been like this even before. Just guarded here.
00:30:22:02 – 00:30:38:03
Yeah, but there was. This is before. This is before people used the internet to get your personality right. It gets to get your personal information. The way me and Ricky met was on this message board. Remember? Message boards, they still exist, but they were massive back then. The way you communicate with each other on the internet was through messages.
00:30:38:03 – 00:31:00:09
There, wasn't there? It was before you had MSN messenger. I think it was even before then. Maybe might, maybe around the same time. Anyway, this message board got hacked, but do you remember? It would have been just after 911, a few years after 911. So everyone was scared of Muslim terrorists? Certainly. Yeah. Is, Islamic Jihad and all that stuff.
00:31:00:09 – 00:31:21:12
That was like your passwords at the time. And this the message board that we posted out and got hacked and there was loads of sort of, sort of ISIS prop. It was nice, but you imagine the propaganda like, you know, it, you know, it was like black and white, you know, the pirates. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not these big mental swords.
00:31:21:12 – 00:31:40:01
Yeah. It was, I remember they were and they and they were like gifs, the sort of animated sort and, and there was like Arabic on there that you couldn't read. And it was like, this is terrifying. And I was like, that was a bit weird because the bloke who ran the website, Tim, he, he fixed it. I don't know how what you done the other how you fixed it, but.
00:31:40:03 – 00:32:02:02
And then when we come back, everybody got back to normal. And I was like, who? Who's fuck sticks? That's weird because this message boards was quite small. Right? So you kind of it's on as a new bloke. Fox six but it's, this is posted like 15,000 times. Like who is that? And then it was Rishi who changed what he used to see first and surname on the message board.
00:32:02:04 – 00:32:26:01
He's on the generic with the whole thing. Yeah. It's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's named Joe. And then. And then he's changed it to Fox. Things like, why have you changed your name anyway? Because, because because of the the Islamic terrorists hacked the website. You actually get. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't understand. Like, no one really tells you about how you should behave or not, and especially back then.
00:32:26:04 – 00:32:51:12
Yeah. Like I you didn't you don't know your. I didn't know that I was supposed to pick some kind of cool name. And it was just I signed up with my actual name obviously. But then you're also you're not really. We weren't educated back then of what you post and what you say couldn't be used. Obviously now people are posting things online.
00:32:51:12 – 00:33:13:23
Is a screengrab taken? And then it's sent to people whose companies that they work at, and then they are fired or given a written whatever it might be. So back then you it was like the wild West of what you want to say, what you want to do, whoever you want to be. But I was just naive and put my first name and surname.
00:33:13:23 – 00:33:28:16
So obviously I say it was a different world. The internet was it with the kids? It was, like like with the kids. It's I guess it's they they've got to be super careful because they're living online. They living on their phones now, you know, I mean, like with. Yeah, there are schools train them in that and they.
00:33:28:18 – 00:33:54:13
Because I don't know I don't know how much they train them on. But there have been been loads of times where my kids have posted a something on TikTok and I'm like, what's the battery? It's got your school badge in there, it's got your uniform in there. It's got everything that makes you so identifiable of who you are and where you are and what school you go to.
00:33:54:15 – 00:34:20:20
Like you need to delete that video and they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right, you're right. I, I, I understand that. And then when they signed up to Snapchat, whatever it is and they have their surname and they got Snapchat, the Emily has my oldest has. Yeah. My well Remi hasn't the youngest. Yeah. And she always asked me every day dad when can I get Snapchat?
00:34:20:20 – 00:34:50:09
And I'm like, maybe when you're 18. Not sure. But what. Yeah. Is it, it's just different. A different two. Yeah. Two very different, children. And like you saying about Chloe, Emily is very responsible and kind of thinks about her actions. Very mature for her age. And then my youngest, Remi, is. Just don't pay. I don't think it's a maturity thing.
00:34:50:09 – 00:35:09:12
I mean, is is a mature thing, but it's also a personality thing that will, as they as she gets older, she'll form a different personality. And these are the kind of basis these are like the raw materials of her life as she gets older. Because there's definitely something called the second child syndrome, but they just built differently.
00:35:09:14 – 00:35:34:09
That's half year old. They're like, well, I mean, I, I was second child and I'm not I'm not hard, but I'm not I don't mean like you can find I not physically. Yeah. I like resilience. Right. But it was your, your older sister. Was she more academically switched on do you think, was she more studious. Was she more concerned about getting in trouble?
00:35:34:11 – 00:35:59:13
More concerned about getting in trouble? No, I wouldn't say more studious. No no no no no. Yes. Yeah, yeah, I got better grades and I had a boy. Yeah. And and I fucked around all the time. Like there was nothing more than I love doing at school was just to make people laugh. That's all I was concerned about was fucking around.
00:35:59:15 – 00:36:19:16
I don't think you would have made it in this school now. I don't think you could have made it. I don't think you got through to school. Behave in that way, as in going to your school or just in the education system now. Yeah, just to go into the kids school. They're so strict. It's unreal. I can't move without getting in middle school.
00:36:19:16 – 00:36:37:06
You can't move. You can't move without getting attention. It's crazy. And you think, oh, maybe baby's the problem and he's lying to us. And so you called up a couple times to go to school, and I was like, he's got a detention. And he said, it's for listen to this. You will love this. This would have been like base level banner for you.
00:36:37:08 – 00:37:00:17
He flicked his friend with a towel as they were washing up in home economics, which is like cooking. Yeah. So he's just fleet. That's how good. Detention. Detention? Oh, fuck. Oh, man. Come on. Life and where it's come from, it's. I flick them all the time. It's fair game. But they're in the kitchen. I've got, I've got a towel.
00:37:00:18 – 00:37:21:23
They're getting it all. He's getting it. Clothes getting it. Will getting it. Anyone can get. Hey. Right. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. When your house rose. Yeah. If I've gotten a towel. You're getting it. Yeah. So he's just fine. He's just done the same thing at school. Ain't that deep? No, he's gotta go to detention. Fuck me man.
00:37:22:00 – 00:37:45:23
I was like, thinking back to it, like just a knob, really? At school. Like. Like I would do those silly things, like. Like my mates. And they would all vouch for this. Like when they were going to sit down, I would be facing a I'd have a fountain pen or a compass upright. So when they sat down, they sat on a compass or a fountain pen.
00:37:46:02 – 00:38:08:10
And I think it's hilarious that I've just spit their ass and I'd be like, just slapping money, laughing when they go to sit down, putting their chair away, or if they're leaning forward on their chair, kicking the back of it so they smack their face on the desk. Just. I'm as well hiding people's coats, just fucking around. That was all I want to do.
00:38:08:10 – 00:38:43:12
I'm in a work place as well. Yeah, I did work hard and I worked for the cause. And I always, always try and do as best as I can and I care. But equally, I just want to have fun and I'm always just fucking around when I want the ball straight. I was like, this is 37, 38, let's take me aside and just said, just you being these two disruptive, and I'm looking okay, like to say, so what?
00:38:43:14 – 00:39:08:01
Mate, it's embarrassing now, right? But. So there's a guy I love. This man. His name's Adam Bolt. Would. You might have met him. Maybe not. He's now top one of the top in terms of content creation. Top brass at Premier League and meeting him. You knew you know you some people you meet and you go that he's there's something about him not the ain't like we were best mates.
00:39:08:01 – 00:39:26:10
It's not we we might share a couple of points with each other. It's not that. It's just in the workplace. He was good. Yeah. And I never had a boss quite like him. And he was older than. I mean, my buddy. Couple years younger than me, actually. But it just felt like in another world he might be my dad.
00:39:26:10 – 00:39:45:23
It was that he just had this way about him. Yeah. Yeah, that respect was there. He could not have it. It was just if you didn't respect him, then you were the problem. And even a couple of times when I, when I left the company and I went out on my own, I called him for advice, and I felt lost that that's how good he was.
00:39:45:23 – 00:40:06:02
Like, there was 2 or 3 occasions during, lockdown. I didn't know what I was doing with the patron fighting cock. I didn't really feel like the podcast was moving in the way I wanted it to. I lost myself basically inside, doubting everything. Even. Even when even when I was listening to podcast, the idea was on. I just hated everything that was coming out.
00:40:06:02 – 00:40:26:20
My mouth is bad. It was a really weird and I didn't talk about it to anybody really, because I don't know what anybody say. It's a it was a mental issue that I was going through. It was like self-doubt and obviously the pressure of having to make it work otherwise what? So yeah, and I called him and he just gave me five minutes.
00:40:26:22 – 00:40:44:16
After that five minutes, I thought I didn't feel much better, but I thought, let me follow his advice, and I did. And just the way he spoke and he essentially just said, just pull back. Just take a step back. Take a step back. Look at what you're doing. All you doing too much. Often that's the issue. You're doing too much.
00:40:44:19 – 00:41:01:11
Are you having to take a step back? Anyway, whatever it was, it worked. And I got I got past it. So that's the level of respect I have for him, for him to then take me for a coffee, sit me down and go. You're being too talkative in the office. You're being disruptive to the work flow. You know what it.
00:41:01:11 – 00:41:09:17
What? He took you for a coffee and had tea, like. Yeah. May and.
00:41:09:19 – 00:41:27:24
And like, this is like what? Where am I, 43? This is. Yeah. This is like 5 or 6 years ago. And, so and I was like, Adam, I'm so sorry I've put you in this situation where you've had to tell me that that's embarrassing, and I'm sorry you've had to do that. But the bullshit office was the best place on earth at the time.
00:41:28:05 – 00:41:51:21
It was so funny. It was. I was just. Oh, I mean, assuming the vast majority. Lads. Not in that football. The right. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I also like loving when that type of banter. Of all the people I've worked with, I'm still in touch with them boys. Like we sit up and we talk to each other. Yeah. It's not it's not buzzing and popping off.
00:41:51:21 – 00:42:09:19
But every now and then something happened. There'd be a barrage of messages and it will stop. Oh that's nice. I mean, I came to my wedding to I mean, is that that's how. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I don't know what we do. How do we get to that? I just about, I think it's just about, like, being at school.
00:42:09:19 – 00:42:34:17
Like my kid, like my kids at school at the moment. And just how we how disruptive we were when we're at school and how our kids can't really. Dad, my kids go to a Catholic school as well. Oh, so it is really fucking good, you know? I mean, is this proper Catholic? Proper of it? Religious? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, proper Catholic, the Lord's Prayer and all that.
00:42:34:19 – 00:42:56:17
Yeah. Me. Yeah yeah yeah. Send them there because I come in a good school. He's good to a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I pretend to believe that. I believe actually you know, they got faith. They do. They do have faith. Yeah yeah yeah. And that's good I don't I am no, obviously a nun, practicing Catholic you.
00:42:56:22 – 00:43:23:11
But you don't have faith right now, so. But what how do you hide that? You don't want to take it away from me? It's a beautiful thing. And I bet it's like it's going to be for me. It will be like Santa. You find out for yourself, you make your own decision. No, I'm not going to. Yeah, don't I'm not going to say take them aside and say, by the way or or give them the thing of this is what I think.
00:43:23:13 – 00:43:45:22
If they wouldn't believe, let them believe. Let them have hope. Do you know what I, I don't, right. And I won't go too much into it, but I just don't like I, I don't believe in that, you know, the afterlife of how it's painted and stuff like that. I think like a computer, once you press off, nothing else happens, right?
00:43:45:22 – 00:44:17:16
Okay. There are times where I look to the sky magnet. The football. Yeah. And I'm like, if there is anything, any, any, any positive energy, any vibrations, any frequency. Yeah. Someone please help someone doing something so. Well, where are we in the league currently? I think when I was 16. Yeah. There you go. There ain't no good. You know, maybe I was just, like, maybe just someone doing something somewhere.
00:44:17:16 – 00:44:41:10
If you can hear me, if you can feel me taking. Feel what I'm going through. Or if it's like I'm doing the long what and not long drive any fucking flight, those types of things, you just look for those bits in your life where you. You have hope. And I don't want the girls to have fear in. Okay?
00:44:41:10 – 00:45:01:03
I've told them nothing exists. So then if they are in a situation where they're trying to hope for something that they don't have anything to believe in, I want them to believe in something to get them through it. There's always kind of there's also in terms that nothing exists that you're convinced, but you cannot you can't also explain how this all came to be either.
00:45:01:05 – 00:45:30:07
No. Like when when someone says, like the Big Bang and you're like, all right, so the Big Bang happened. Cause a lot of obviously, I don't know, I'm a Stephen Hawkins. I don't know how it all actually happened. Right. But as I understand it, something happened that made all of this possible from the big bang. Like molecules and fucking everything kicking into gear and, and and it was though it was super unlikely.
00:45:30:09 – 00:45:50:00
It was inevitable once the big bang happened that this was going to happen. Right. Fire! You got me right. There's an explanation. If I don't believe in God, I can believe in the Big Bang. Who the fuck made the rocks that bang together to make the Big Bang? I don't know, no one knows. No one knows. No, no one knows.
00:45:50:00 – 00:46:21:20
There's no absolute proof that it isn't all made by someone. Like he made the rocks that bang together. Like, I don't know, there's another one, I swear. Like the universe is always expanding. It's always expanding, right? I'm like, I see these things on like, TikTok or reels, and it's like, here's Earth. We're going to zoom out to what our galaxy is and let me zoom out and like, literally, we're just a fucking die and nothing, right?
00:46:21:24 – 00:46:51:21
Yeah. And it goes on and on and on. And I'm like, but how and why? Like where like how did it all get here? How is it I don't know. Yeah. No. And I and the thing is as well right. What I we're all told right. We're all told that in whenever it was I think it was I don't know if it was Columbus era the world flat, the world is flat and we all believe it.
00:46:51:21 – 00:47:11:07
We all read the Scripture of the earth is flat. We all read these different things. And then one day it's like, do you know what I've actually I found out that the earth isn't flat. It's actually spherical. It that's the closest shape that it is. I know that's what we all believe and that's what we all find out.
00:47:11:12 – 00:47:39:09
Like, now there is things happening a hundred thousand light years away, and they're saying that this black hole is devouring planets and it's doing this. That's a bad. How does anyone know? No, I don't understand what is going on in there. Like they're able to say that the with these calculations that this is definitely happening because five minutes ago the world is flat.
00:47:39:09 – 00:48:00:02
Now, how are you now telling me that? Yeah, yeah. Is this what you believe? Yeah, this is that idea. I think we kind of like in the age of I don't know what the correct term is, but like the age of materialism, right? That doesn't mean going out and buying stuff that you, you like. I mean, you need material evidence to make it scientific fact.
00:48:00:02 – 00:48:25:09
So you need to be able to see it, view it, or touch it in order for it to be considered scientifically viable. So things like telepathy, for example, on there is a big taboo in the scientific world because you cannot see it or measure it in any way. Right. However, there are tests out there that prove that telepathy is possible.
00:48:25:11 – 00:48:54:17
And so if the science if there is an and in scientists that go into proving this is generally kind of regarded as quacks. So if they can prove if you two people can do a scientific, experiment that proves that people can communicate using their minds, but is not that the scientific environment is not willing to the scientific community is not willing to accept it as evidence because it doesn't exist in this material setting.
00:48:54:19 – 00:49:15:09
Then what else are they not willing to say? And I'm someone who genuinely believes there's nothing. And like you say, when the computer goes off, it's gone. That's what I believe too. But you can't just completely close yourself off to everything. So ensure is good. The kids go to a Catholic school. Yeah. I think we'll leave that there.
00:49:15:09 – 00:49:37:02
All right. So next week, I mean, we were supposed to do. It was this week. We just got carried away, and we just, like having a chat. So to us, do it next week. Now, don't do this. Yeah. Next week we are going to do the topic of idols. Who we idols. When you were growing up, when you were a kid, middle life.
00:49:37:04 – 00:50:00:01
Now as a adult, like mine have changed course massively as you as you'd expect. And as you grow, as you grow, you realize your dad was a morons, right? Yeah, pretty much, mate. That's what I was going to say. And the world and how. And when I was younger, I don't think I was aspirational to what I am now of.
00:50:00:03 – 00:50:24:18
I don't have an understanding of the person I want to be in, the person that I want to see back in the mirror, and that is how I'm going to try and focus my energy of who I want to be. So if you have any idols or any kind of revelations or stories that you want to send in, send it in to lads anon pod at gmail.com and we will read them out.
00:50:24:19 – 00:50:51:24
So the dilemma this week is how do I take it up to another gear? Please say something else. And something only you know. A visit from the honeymoon star. Now I want to quickly just say something on. You know, I was sorting all of them out yesterday. I don't know what happened, but the labeling on the emails fucked up.
00:50:52:01 – 00:51:13:02
And the ones that we've done to the ones that we haven't done, they no longer have labels. So we may and I may read out a something on a, you know, that we've already done and I've forgotten, there's going to be a handful that may be going forward, but this is a good reminder that I speak to everybody online.
00:51:13:04 – 00:51:33:14
And all the time you guys are like, our mate, I've got this wicked story from when we went on the stag day. Oh, last week when I went golf. All these stories. One day I'll send it in when I get round to it. This is your time, people. And even the lasses that here as well. I know you've got something only you know.
00:51:33:14 – 00:51:52:13
And you know kind of this. You haven't got a halo around your head. Get it all in. Oh, so I want to. I think next week we should. We meant to do this, but. Right. Women wait right in our attractiveness to different races.
00:51:52:15 – 00:52:11:18
Unless you think we can do that without getting canceled. We give it a go. I just want to ask the question. Oh, we might have to do it next week, but I just, like. Is it okay? To what level? What do you you know, what's your favorite basically. Right. Okay. Yeah, we can certainly go. And the thing is it isn't don't that.
00:52:11:20 – 00:52:28:23
Right. Right. Don't say you. We can certainly do it like it's a sensible I really want to dig down into it. It's it's a bit of like fun right. Okay. We'll do that then. And so no I'm not, I'm not I'm not telling you now the favorite. You can wait till next week for the five months moved around.
00:52:28:23 – 00:52:53:10
Is it. Got old. Read it. I've always had one number one at the a couple of mates who've got a particular interest in certain types of lady. Yeah, I've got my. Yeah I've got a number one. But there is a, there's a, the intrigue for another one which is really high up on the list. Really high. Yeah. I can't say you're.
00:52:53:12 – 00:53:13:04
Yeah. Go on. Blond white blue eyes. So I like is it. I was going to say that doesn't sound like you as Aryan as possible. Not joking. I'm joking. Right. What are we doing? So dilemmas. How do I take it up to another gig? I.
00:53:13:06 – 00:53:39:22
Just, just tired. You got an issue for a tissue? You're a bit sad, cause I will teach you a can in your soul, alone, in your flat. Please talk to Ricky Flanagan. Let that stress off your chest. Well, friend, you deserve to be black. You're safe here to get nice warm between Ricky and then.
00:53:39:24 – 00:54:07:10
Laughs. You're the only two that can help. I need some advice. Quick back story. School crush kept in touch. She moved to a different city for work. We still speak all the time on social. We've been living our own personal lives, but in recent weeks she got a new job in my fucking city. Yes. And boy, so we've been going out quite a bit lately.
00:54:07:13 – 00:54:35:05
Into the cinema, lunch, even some shopping is every time we end up spending 7 to 8 hours together anyway. And it feels effortless. I'm trying not to get friend zone, but I also realize I haven't really made my feelings clear. I don't want to keep overthinking this. I just want to be honest with her. But a few things are holding me back.
00:54:35:07 – 00:55:00:24
She's new to the city, adjusting to a new job, and probably already dealing with a lot. I don't want to add more pressure if she's not ready for it. That said, we genuinely enjoy each other's company. She seems really comfortable around me, just not sure when or how to take the next step. Any advice on how I approach this look?
00:55:00:24 – 00:55:29:00
I did add additional information before we jump in. Our meetups basically happen due to me asking her. She was immediately interested and had no issues here. Should I wait and take a step back and take myself away from texting and making plans, and let her take the initiative just to test out the waters? Or should I lay my cards on the table?
00:55:29:00 – 00:55:45:10
What do I do? You 100% lay your cards on the table. The longer this goes on, the more things, your problems or reasons you'll come up with not to to do it. And.
00:55:45:12 – 00:56:05:02
Yeah, I mean, look, the reason why you haven't done this already isn't because she has all the stresses of moving all that ballocks you've just said, the reason you haven't asked her is because you're worried she'd say no and she'll friendzone you. That's the reason you haven't asked her. Because if you were convinced she was into you, you wouldn't be worried about those things, about her moving to the city.
00:56:05:04 – 00:56:19:08
So I understand that. But the sooner you find out whether she's interested, she been chasing you or not, but the sooner you find out, the better it is for you. Even you can move on, but it's almost like going to the doctor's. If you feel like there's something wrong with you, you don't go cause you don't want the truth.
00:56:19:10 – 00:56:37:10
Yeah, the same time just. I mean, just kind of just let you know what I really fancy. You say that I really fancy, and that's mine. And it's crazy, but I think I really fancy you. And what did she do to go? I don't know. You don't have to make it some big thing you could find out without.
00:56:37:10 – 00:56:57:16
But make it a little. See how well fancy you. Oh, just noticed something the other day. I really find that I care massive bit fucking brass balls there saying it and, saying to kill opening I find is not I think like if you haven't checked and you're having a laugh and you go, do you know what it's, you know, it's I've just realized I really fancy you.
00:56:57:18 – 00:57:01:08
And then and then she goes.
00:57:01:10 – 00:57:21:04
Was saying, don't say that. Really? Well, that was wrong. I do as I fancy, like nothing. I suppose I'm just letting you know. Just letting you know. I stuffed you three fucking hot. Oh, did you know what? You saying that to me? Even though there's nothing there, I'm tied down a little bit and I may as well, but yeah, that is.
00:57:21:04 – 00:57:42:21
That's quite good, actually, I like that. I mean, yeah, I mean, you'll know, you remember the days when I had when I was at the top of my game. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Day at the. Oh boy. I do not know what happened. Right. You know, like, if you are say this, this gentleman does get friends and but he's like, oh fuck, I've just been friends on this.
00:57:42:21 – 00:58:08:02
Yeah. That's because it could be that wouldn't you. What do you do after that? They just stop making stop. Make it stop. Mate, it's difficult because. Yeah, I mean, ultimately is that does probably mean the end of your relationship because, it's difficult. It would be difficult to see her with someone who she never inevitably will go out with someone.
00:58:08:04 – 00:58:26:22
And you probably will hold that light for her for, for a long time. And it will probably, you know. Yeah. So but you have to no one might ever you fancy. Yeah. That's the thing. You know, I know that's this is part of life in it. Unrequited love is a painful thing. But it's been a million songs in a million films and a million books written about it.
00:58:26:22 – 00:58:58:12
It's not new. And if there's anything to take away from this podcast today, that we have no idea how the universe got here and what's going on in it. But you do know that you fancy such a fucking teller. That's one that she says, no, you just can't get a bra space. Yeah, right away. It's, Right. We are going to go on to something only you know.
00:58:58:14 – 00:59:04:24
Why? Something, you you know, you.
00:59:05:01 – 00:59:26:19
A visit from the honeymoon star. A few months back, I was on holiday with my family in Spain. You know, all inclusive or something like that. For a week now, all the hot weather had made me horny. Like the type of horny that had me squirming around with an erection. What could have been 5 minutes or 5 hours.
00:59:26:21 – 00:59:51:04
So while everyone was asleep, I decided to have a cheeky tug at my single bed, being extremely careful not to wake my 12 year old brother who was sleeping in another bed to my left around ten centimeters away. A minute later, I was pretty proud of myself for achieving what I thought was the most fantastic orgasm I had ever had.
00:59:51:06 – 01:00:19:15
You know how it is when the pelvis shakes with joy and whatnot. So I cleaned up the sticky stuff and went to sleep. However, I woke up pretty early in the next morning in a reasonably undignified position to my little brother, who was extremely perplexed. Oh, seeing that he was almost at the point of tears, I asked him what was wrong.
01:00:19:17 – 01:00:47:09
His next sentence will always haunt me. My bed is really sticky. It took every ounce of composure to conceal my fear, but I looked over and sure enough, my load was all over his bed. Oh my God, how it got that far? I have no idea. I still, I cleaned it up, we locked eyes and I whispered, have you ever heard of the honeymoon?
01:00:47:11 – 01:01:20:11
For the next two weeks, my brother had to sleep in my parents room in fear that the honeymoon star would visit me again and fuck him up, made maybe kill him in a merciless and honey like way, whatever the fuck that means. So I could now wank in peace. And that Ricky is something I need. I know to this day belter absolute though I mean, don't I mean, it's also all kinds of wrong as well, but that's a slight is some gene.
01:01:20:11 – 01:01:42:13
I mean, I'd love to if they, If ever you like to have a compilation of all the something I know oh ten podcast to go around, you love the way that everyone to be impossible will. Oh that I mean that that could be something I could, I could do that. I reckon that be a passion project. Yeah, it'd take a lot a lot of passion.
01:01:42:15 – 01:02:06:00
Yeah I know, I know, I've, I've downloaded every single episode. It's like regret and. Yeah that many must about 60. What is it, 67. 67 and I because we've got quickie Ricky's in there.
