#85 | Terrifying Situations | What’s The Worst Ways To Go?

00:00:00:14 – 00:00:21:06
I want to talk about Max Nancy's rig. Sure. Because she was, like I said to wrong my computer. Something's gone wrong, right? And I figured it out. But I think I've got a PC. I work with a PC, and for a long time when I worked in the media, when I was in the media in London, I was a maid of I have a mac and grab a mac laptop and I'll.

00:00:21:08 – 00:00:47:22
I'll only work on a mac desktop with a massive screen. Don't be wrong. Beautiful machines. They look incredible to use. A dream, a dream. But the user experience, which is important if you're on them all day, is excellent. I'll give you all that. But it. And it's especially in So obviously I do a lot of social media and the clips and stuff that I need to transfer between my laptop and my face.

00:00:47:23 – 00:01:14:22
Okay. What do you. Well, I my, I'd pay an extra fucking grand to AirDrop. Shit. That is what you doing? That is exactly. Yeah, yeah. You're paying a grand fine. Not fine, Rick, because you don't play that logic to anything else in your life. No. That's true. That is true. I mean, I, I, especially you said it off line, but, you said I was thrifty, and that is that is me to a tee.

00:01:14:24 – 00:01:38:06
Yeah. So I do have a that like Android or that you can do like airdrops on on that. But Amos, it ain't as nice. It doesn't work quite as well. You can try to sell that. I don't want to sell. I don't care what I do care about. Like, what I do care about is people will blindly back in industry and fleeces them.

00:01:38:08 – 00:01:59:19
Like from the minute they they think about getting an Apple product to the end, you'll get in fucking fleeced. Not I don't know. I don't think there's much difference in phones. Right. It sounds the android's right. But in terms of like buying a computer, like a laptop or a, I've got a desktop computer. Yeah. And it's about three years old now, so it needs a little bit of an upgrade in that.

00:01:59:19 – 00:02:19:03
What what what do you mean? You've got a desktop computer, as in, like an old, like, tower type. It's an old tower. What do you mean, an old tower? I do have a tower. Yeah, yeah, that's what they still people set up towers. Well, what do you want? It all built into the screen? Well, no, I just want, like, people work on laptops and it's.

00:02:19:03 – 00:02:39:09
Everything's in a laptop mode. I'm sorry, David, I don't think we're still, I don't really like internet cafes. Well, if I wanted the same power as I get from this because I'm at in and I'm constant, I need processing. All right. That would cost me a fortune as a laptop or as a mac desktop. And that's sort of things.

00:02:39:09 – 00:02:56:19
They want everything to fit into the screen. And what I'm point here is less about the fucking products. Do what you want. But people are weird about their Apple products. They're like evangelical about it. They've bought into it. They've drunk the Kool-Aid. Right? They've gone. I will blindly buy the next apple. It doesn't matter if it's better, doesn't matter.

00:02:56:19 – 00:03:18:22
It's just it has the Apple logo on and it's and and to be fair, probably a user experience that they're used to, but generally it's because they've bought into it like they like people buy into religion. That's my favorite theory. They blindly yeah. They cannot blindly follow religion. Ignoring the plot holes and the failings of that religion and just defend it to the hilt.

00:03:18:23 – 00:03:40:24
Not everyone. I'm just saying some people, evangelicals see you are. That's what I when I look at you, I just ignore Matlab. Yeah that's good and I and I want you to is because I've got an Apple phone Apple laptop I did have to watch, but it was just too much. I didn't get on with it. I got the Samsung watch set up and pay for it to be honest.

00:03:41:01 – 00:04:07:17
With Apple and the and you're talking about. So their product is like luxurious. That's how it's sold. Yeah. So like you are paying obviously the luxurious tax on top of it. So it's, it's it's almost like the way of life is what you're selling rather than their product. I mean, I haven't bought it because of the way of life.

00:04:07:21 – 00:04:29:15
I've bought it because of ease and everything is. Yeah, I think more to give. You paid more that you don't apply your logic to this for the rest of your life. That's that's my observation. That's. Yeah, that's true, that's true. And what I will say is to, counter that and I. Why why don't you take that? What?

00:04:29:16 – 00:04:36:04
Not you particular. What is it about this product that makes people behave irrationally?

00:04:36:06 – 00:05:09:14
I don't know, because it's, Well, I think it's like if you if I was to show up for, for instance, a pair of sunglasses, a handbag, Louis Vuitton, whatever. And it's really expensive. At the end of the day, it's just a fucking handbag, you know? I mean, but this is actually helpful. Yeah, actually, you know, I'm doing my, my job when at my work, if I, I wouldn't see buying a laptop and then it just sitting there because I'm, you know, like if my mum was like, oh I need a laptop, I'll get a mac.

00:05:09:14 – 00:05:34:06
And all she's doing is looking on stuff on Google. You know, I mean, it's like, absolutely does not need that. But, with a mac. Yeah. I can't explain that. Yeah. Just. Well, no it's fine. It's. No, no, my dad, my dad hates computers, but he buys Macs. Really? Yeah. He's got the best slimline MacBook Pro. Doesn't need a MacBook Pro.

00:05:34:08 – 00:05:53:06
He. He's a a is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's past the point where it it matters. It should matter to him because he doesn't know the difference between one computer and another. But he has to buy a mac, and it's. I don't know what what they've done. They've done something incredible. I'm sure there's some stuff on this somewhere.

00:05:53:08 – 00:06:22:19
There must be. But people are crazy about this product. Really. They, And to kind of, the, juxtapose the of spending of money on luxurious items, which I don't and rarely do. The flip side of that, I've been wondering whether to actually ever bring this up on the podcast. And because last night, what I had for dinner, I thought, I'm going to do it.

00:06:22:22 – 00:06:47:04
I'm just going to get it out there and just to see what people think, I know what they're going to think, and I don't care what they think. But basically, I for years, one of my favorite, dinners kebab absolutely love a kebab. Dinner. Is a takeaway your favorite takeaway? Not takeaway. Well, no. If I have, like, some chips and salads and kebab, that's dinner and it.

00:06:47:07 – 00:07:05:05
Yeah, but dinner's like something you plan during the week. Like what? We have dinner tonight. No, guys. Night kebab. They go. We're having a takeaway tonight. What we have in. Oh, we're getting kebab. They don't go. We're having kebab for dinner. They don't say that. Yeah. I, we plan to have this because I make it. It's not like.

00:07:05:07 – 00:07:23:10
Oh, you're not going for the shop. No, I'm talking about the, for you is all right. You're making you make you make. Well, you make when you say kebab them. What? You're making chicken on a chicken on a. Sheesh. This is, mint, mint, mint lamb. So, yeah, I mean, some I'm on the skewers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:23:12 – 00:07:51:13
And then. And then. Oh, yeah. All right. Fair dinner. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Lebanese flatbread as well that they with it and some Jokic on it. You call it. Yeah. Yeah with a cop. Cucumber onion yeah. Oh that in there. Yeah. So and then here comes the bit right. So chili sauce is really important to me. And like boss man kebab chili crab right.

00:07:51:15 – 00:08:08:17
So I what how where do you find that you become. I don't know where they get it from. Is it. Is it a secret? I think it's a secret now. I was so. They ain't hot sauce. People think I would to put some hot sauce. It's not hot sauce. No it's not. Not. Yeah it is. Yeah. You're right, you're right it is.

00:08:08:19 – 00:08:35:12
And I've been looking for years to try and find it. And years ago I found a place that kind of sells it. And on the label it has a kebab on the label. So, you know, you know, you're you're Indian, you know, you're in. So I bought this bottle. And because when I bought it, it came in, I, you know, proper fucking was it, you know, some sort of huge cash and carry type place.

00:08:35:14 – 00:08:54:23
Yeah, I know you saying there's one there, Michael Brooks. And when was getting stuff for the wedding, they had what looked like the sauces that I have and burger vans and stuff. That's, that's, that's that's it. That's that's it. Legitimately, if you found the chili sauce and it tastes very close to it. Not exactly, but very, very close enough.

00:08:54:23 – 00:09:11:23
And I bought that years ago and I still use it on my kebabs every day. But you know, when you haven't got the sauce has been sitting there for years. You bought new how long the sauce been there? It went off in September.

00:09:12:00 – 00:09:32:06
2021. And you use it. I'm not. I'm not getting ready. It's not. I'm not going anywhere. You're going. God, take a picture of. I need to see. Right, I will I posted I used on lots and the top of the ladies up because of the. Oh my God, I can't believe you have to do that. You have to.

00:09:32:06 – 00:09:51:22
You don't get you down to the top. I want to see the label. I want to see the date on it. I want to see how much is left. Right. Okay. Look, whole family in this. No, no, no, they refused. Every time they're like, this is going to be the last time. So you have a strike. Yeah. When you have a strike for eating this, we'll say we told you I would just like to it.

00:09:51:22 – 00:10:19:19
Did you have any behavioral habits of why you might have had a stroke at this age? Well, it was eating this kebab sauce he bought from a cash and carrying in 2017. It went on the 2021. Now he's. You might be that. Yeah, yeah. My, my fucking I don't know, but I'm like.

00:10:19:21 – 00:10:48:13
I see like, dim night hazy like Band of Brothers playing tunes high as quiet midnight waves. Surfing free till daylight breaks. Rhythm of 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. Promise.

00:10:48:15 – 00:11:15:01
Hello and welcome to the lads. Anonymous is episode 85. I'm Ricky Heath flap t best mates. One main topic we answer your life dilemmas and confessions in our feature. Something only you know. And everything remains anonymous always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the pot. Flav. You going out tonight? Yeah. Oh, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey.

00:11:15:03 – 00:11:35:22
Like it's. Yeah. I'm trying to relive my youth. Let's fucking go. Tell me about it. Well. Oh, well. Oh, well, it's changed a bit. The mindset. The mindset has changed a bit because we were like, good. Yeah. Right before it would be, you remember, be like, yeah, let's go out where we may. In fact, no suitcase London. It was just be that.

00:11:35:22 – 00:11:54:12
Yeah. We'll meet in London. The biggest city in the world will be in. We'll just meet in London somewhere now. Yeah. It's like now where we meeting? I don't know, too busy that bit. Well, I sure it's fine. I sure wish they had gone. It's gone years ago. Nothing like what we used to wish I made. Yeah, yeah, it's changed.

00:11:54:12 – 00:12:19:03
So it's not for us anymore. It's for a yet the younger crowd of taken over for sure. It's there's, there's now and so, you know, should we go to Mayfair? That feels like the most quiet, the most expensive, quiet place we can possibly go. So we're meeting for the best pint of Guinness. In in England, apparently.

00:12:19:05 – 00:12:41:10
And just sitting in Mayfair all day. You're going out in Mayfair? That is. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah. Mayfair. Yeah. And then. And then and then there's this horrible little sports bar in Marylebone to watch boxing later. Right. Okay, G, what's the, what's his best Guinness then? It's just like, you know, some places claim to have the best Guinness because it's you.

00:12:41:12 – 00:12:57:07
I've said this before, I think, but, I'm planning to go to Dublin in, in, in July. I've got my plane tickets and all that. And so you all going. Yeah, I'm planning I, I mean, I'm only going when I'm there. Right. So the plan is to go. I am going to go. I've bought the train tickets.

00:12:57:07 – 00:13:18:19
Plane ticket. Yeah. So that's the plan. Well you signed when you bought plane tickets. That's here. You're there you go. Yeah. You've bought plane tickets. So you walk out in. Yeah I'm going, I'm going to Dublin and then and the, the Guinness in Dublin is I know, so cliche but it is and I've said this before and here I think it's, it's different.

00:13:18:19 – 00:13:40:10
It's better. It's, it's like two people who've never don't like Guinness and tasted it like, oh yeah, but it's disgusting. But if you like Guinness then it is different. Like just this morning because he's flying over for the boxing love friendly lives in Ireland. He plays for the British Navy today. Yeah, yeah. I'm seeing him like, night, just for a quick pint.

00:13:40:12 – 00:14:02:10
Just real quick pint. Yeah. In the, he said he sent me a picture of a pint in an in the airport, and it was like, Jesus Christ. Anyway, so the point is, is finding them in London, finding a pub. The Guinness is easy. Finding a really good Guinness in in London is isn't that easy. And you have to go by reputation anyway.

00:14:02:10 – 00:14:27:07
Apparently this one's the best is a tale. So people if people want to know I saw them on Insta. That dude has in his pub. He has a separate Guinness line for his Guinness. Yeah. And? And he reckons that's the reason. And because of that Guinness lying, it's a different temperature to normal lager or some shit like that.

00:14:27:09 – 00:14:49:08
So yeah I don't know I don't know in total why they do it. And I don't want to know. I just want to just fucking drink the shit. But yeah. So, yeah, that's the plan. Just have a few, good few pints of Guinness and then what's the boxing then? Straight to you. But you, Will you be smoking?

00:14:49:12 – 00:15:09:23
Yeah, I will be a bad, bad day for my health. Good day for Sunday. Yeah, yeah, I'm. I'm gonna regret all of it. You know, the one thing I say when I get back to my lovely leafy green Wiltshire. Right? Yeah. And just, just walk into the warm embrace of my wife, after being in London is.

00:15:09:23 – 00:15:30:03
I'm never going back to London ever again, regardless of what the. That's the last time I'm ever going back. But, I'm super excited. I haven't seen my brothers all together in a long, long time. So, Yeah, we're looking forward to it. And, it's going to get messy. It's going to get very messy, right? Those days are days that you kind of, live for.

00:15:30:04 – 00:15:50:12
We used to, we've done that quite a few times when, our beloved football team reached semifinals and and the cup finals, and they were great. Dave and Riddle meet up and be on the National Diet and stuff like that. Doesn't happen anymore, but never mind. But Ryan said is, I feel like it's Christmas Eve. That's what you said last night.

00:15:50:14 – 00:16:08:08
Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking about I reckon this goes into what this podcast is about. Really? Yeah. It's what is it about men? And I'm sure women feel it as well. But I'm also, I don't know what a female the dynamics of a female group is like. But what is it about men who all they're doing, they've done this.

00:16:08:10 – 00:16:19:12
I certainly we have done it a thousand times before we go into a pub to sit with each other and drink. Why is that so exciting?

00:16:19:14 – 00:16:39:15
I don't know, genuinely exciting in it. I mean, because may. Well, I mean, we're like, we're living our lives with our families, doing our jobs and stuff. And even, like, when I meet up with The Goonies, right? And we're just going to our local. Right? We can all of it, like drive to our local in like ten minutes or whatever it is.

00:16:39:17 – 00:17:07:07
But then if it's like in the diary on a Saturday, last game of the season will be like, should we just watch the results come in and go for a, for a beer just to have it on the Saturday or Sunday? So yeah, okay, let's do that all week just thinking about it. Just like watching for it and all I'm doing, I'm just going to be sitting there for eight hours drinking pints that probably get out of a vape or something like that, watching a TV screen.

00:17:07:09 – 00:17:32:21
That's it. That's all I'm going to be doing. But I'll be so happy being there. I wonder what the what is happening on a psychological level. What why why is it a break from your life? Is it a moment to not think? Is it peace? Is it? Yeah, because I would say it's those things, but, I don't have a stressful life in, in as much as, you know, work can be stressful.

00:17:32:21 – 00:17:52:23
And the amount of work and where I've got to go and be is is a stressful thing, relatively speaking. But in my home, life isn't really stressful. I guess there's the normal stresses of existing in this world. But yeah, I would say I'm not. I mean, it's not a break. I would call it. So what is it? Yeah.

00:17:52:23 – 00:18:16:04
You're right, because I'm, I'm completely the same. Like work stresses, life stresses. You get the same for you fucking stupid car that is constantly in the garage. Oh, yeah. Not sure why I sit rep with the, car. The sit rep. Just touching. Touching. But at the moment, yeah, we we drift. We've driven to Caister on Sea, which is 2.5 hours away.

00:18:16:06 – 00:18:41:05
Yeah, and driven back. No engine warning lights, nothing. Are you actually, do you reckon? I don't know, I'm touching, I'm touching. I've got a big cork in front of me that would have let me drive to let me drive to London last Saturday. Yeah, you did. And drove and drove back. No warning lights. So it's part of it I think is no no no no no.

00:18:41:05 – 00:18:58:20
Gotta say it. I think everything's fixed. I think the car is completely fixed. I don't think you'll ever have a warning light ever again. I'll go warning light on the way in. So did you really? Something about gear. Selecting slow lever needs servicing or something, ain't there? Now, are you talking about giving the car back? Telling you about you?

00:18:58:20 – 00:19:30:04
Fuck up, Eddie. Turn those fucking warning lights off. But need to know that every time I get in the car, I need service here. I see you've told me I ain't doing it. I'm not fucking. Yeah, yeah. Talking about that maintenance, it's an important thing in life, isn't it? Because today's topic, we're talking about the most kind of scary things that could possibly happen to us, the most terrifying situations.

00:19:30:06 – 00:19:55:11
And if you don't do maintenance, sometimes, you know, your cable car might fall from the sky. Well, do you know? Yeah. When you're saying that because of the cable car situation, but. Well, you know, I was thinking of maintenance. I've got like half a bush at the moment around the region. Right, right. The old because of the old Henny hand off hand dog.

00:19:55:12 – 00:20:13:11
Yeah, yeah, because of it. Because because we got rid of the home dog and I miss him, I got to say, because it become part of you then I. So this is my buddy. And now that was gone, I finally tucked away behind the muscle wall. Anyway, I, yeah, I'm scared of the. I'm scared of the wound.

00:20:13:11 – 00:20:45:20
I wonder if anybody like, I can understand what giving birth is like now. Any women listening? I get it, and I never did before. And certainly a C-section, I understand that, Oh, nice. Like, I watched my Mrs. give birth, you know, of safe to come out of the and then and but C-sections when you see it on telly and the proper open up lifting flaps, you know, you know, they're having a proper good, rummage around.

00:20:45:23 – 00:21:04:05
Yeah. And there it is. Fucking crazy. Yes. Grim. It is crazy, but there you go. I know now what it is. What it is. Hahahahahahaha. Yeah. And I, I kind of, I think I've felt as the same sort of pain as childbirth as well. So don't. Yeah. Any any females this into this don't come at me guy.

00:21:04:05 – 00:21:23:22
And we all I know what it's like. All right. You know we've all been. But once I was I think I remember it was someone did the old flick at a Tito cook me on my not. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was down for a good eight minutes. I know what pain is. Yeah. All right. But now I'm really scared of the scar.

00:21:23:22 – 00:21:43:11
I'm scared of it. And I was curious, like where people have you people like to have C-section, and my wife has it as well, to be fair, but it's lumps underneath the scar. There's loads of, like, hard scar tissue. It's not just the scar high. It's like it's really weird to touch. So I'm scared of it. And that's why I've only got half a bush.

00:21:43:13 – 00:22:06:13
So you maintain it. But scared of the scar, essentially. Are you? So where you have the scar, is anything growing back over at the moment or it's like slowly a little bit, yeah. It was only like three weeks ago. So that much, you know. Yeah. Three weeks are still quite early, you know. Yeah. Still with the light still has.

00:22:06:15 – 00:22:29:08
And like, if you say on the, on the, the bushy side, is it not bushy. No. That's maintaining it. Okay. Well I didn't know if you did maintain it. Yeah. You have to you have to you have to fucking maintain you know, it gets out of control. Avoid the like that. What do you do it. What? What's your pubic regime?

00:22:29:10 – 00:22:49:06
Would normally I just use, the bay trim of it. Do you use that for your beard as well? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. My buddy it's anybody. Yes. Yeah yeah yeah I my dick, my face I don't care at the monitoring business. Sorry. Cable car. Yeah.

00:22:49:08 – 00:23:12:21
Yeah. Cable car. You were saying you said before the, just before we got into the pod, that you were, interested in a specific topic. What was it? Was it the cable car? So I'm fascinated by the cable car, but that was kind of like last week. There's a new one this week. But, but but every everything, every bit of fear I have when I go into a cable car and I have one.

00:23:12:21 – 00:23:30:12
Like I said, I think I mentioned it on there. We went to Porto and there was a cable car in Porto, and the only way to get up to the top. Anyone been to the city? You will know. What I'm talking about is you go across the river and there's a cable car. It takes you up to the top of this hill, and you can look down on the city, and there's bars up there and it's really nice, but you have to get in these fucking cable cars to get there.

00:23:30:12 – 00:23:50:11
And they're smaller. They're much smaller. But when you were lying on a human being to maintain something, inevitably eventually it will go wrong. Will you get caught in the crossfire? Yeah. So, you know, these mechanics that are supposed to fit your car, fix your car should know how to fix that one in light, right? This is their fucking job.

00:23:50:13 – 00:24:10:08
Bread and butter. Right? They didn't loads them didn't nets a lot of last one. So that fingers crossed. It's is it's like that. But but you're you're putting your life on the line as opposed to just not being able to get to where you need to go. Yeah. So when this cable snapped, snapped. Not like there was a bird strike or something.

00:24:10:08 – 00:24:31:10
You can't control a cable snapped. Yeah. And, yeah. And they fell to their deaths. What a horrible way to go. So when you know what you're saying, the, the cable snapped. Now, are we talking wrapping? Are we talking? So this is you. You got your cable car? Yeah. And you've got the cable from it.

00:24:31:10 – 00:24:53:03
And then it joins to that big long cable where all the up is. Yes. So there's like a little. It's like the. Yeah, it's like attached to the cable that moves it along. Right. Okay. Right now was the cable that it was a cable. The cable that was holding the car onto the onto the bit that moves along that move that just went done.

00:24:53:07 – 00:25:21:02
I'm done with this. I've had to see the people out in these plebs up. It should have been maintained by all these people. Because people and people, people will eventually found it will fuck up. They will. They're like somehow inside airplanes. You're exactly. The thing that worries me is all. You doing your job? Yeah. The humans, they they need to kind of visually have a check of it.

00:25:21:04 – 00:25:41:04
They go for all these kind of checks, and then their mate Kicevo walks past, I think I see how is your holiday in Italy, but blah blah blah, they fucking forgotten about that rope and they. Because it's talking to Kevin. Oh, they're having a bad day. They didn't sleep. The kids kept them up. Yeah. Got a newborn.

00:25:41:04 – 00:26:13:07
Yeah. I think you should, I think if you work in a job that requires maintenance of things that stop people from dying, if you don't have kids, just don't have them. Yeah, if that's your chosen profession. And I get it. Not all of it is highly paid. But you people's lives are in your end. Yeah. Or you make an agreement that you don't have to look after the kids if they wake up during the night and you have a spare room that's insulated from the the wailing sound of a child crying, I don't know what it is, but you're messing with my life.

00:26:13:09 – 00:26:35:13
You're messing with. Yeah, right now. But, Sorry. And and to take it back to, the railway, as you know, I love they had a the they have procedures there where it's zero tolerance on alcohol and drugs and how how does that work? How does that work? What do I have? Random drug tests. Yeah, yeah.

00:26:35:14 – 00:26:56:11
Yes, yes. So. Oh, my. You know, my my dad worked for, he worked for a company that had a contract with London Underground. And he worked for them for years. Decades. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know, now how much money was wasted is unreal. Just as a side note, my dad would get, so he would. They would have to call outs.

00:26:56:13 – 00:27:19:21
Okay. And it's the same thing. The random drug tests. Any any suspicion alcohol was in your system. You're fired. It's not without question, like you said, 000 tolerance. So my dad wouldn't touch alcohol when he was working. And then on a Sunday he couldn't drink before going to work on the sun on on a Monday. So he would, yeah, I remember I remember him saying like like they wouldn't go to the poppy, wouldn't drink.

00:27:19:21 – 00:27:39:13
You wouldn't do anything on the day before we had to work. Because like you say, it's zero and for good reason. Yeah. Good good. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. But most of his job, 99% of each job. Right. Especially if he was doing call outs during an evening. So they would, they would ring him up. It might be 3:00 in the morning and it go.

00:27:39:15 – 00:27:58:02
Mr. Flavell, there is a call out in say, hey, know. Yeah. How you know, it is about far from where we lived as possible through London. You're talking about an hour and a half drive. Oh, God. And then you would go, what is it? And I said, we're not sure you have to get to the station to find out if we get there.

00:27:58:02 – 00:28:16:01
You know, it'd be the pilot light on a boiler blown out that you could do that. Anyone couldn't do that. It was a simple process. He would go there like the pilot light in the boiler. So they had hot water in the tea room, and then he would drive back and go to bed. Obviously you get the next day off, he would be paid eight hours.

00:28:16:06 – 00:28:42:04
And if you got a call out another eight hours, 16 hours pay right for one for going and relighting a pilot light, which anybody could do 16 hours pay. Yeah. And then and then they would that would be charged to London Underground. So if you ever wonder why your fucking prices are through the roof. Yes. Because my dad was cream in the system.

00:28:42:06 – 00:29:03:17
He wasn't really. That's what his contract said. Sort of had to pay him. Yeah. Well exactly I don't they it wasn't that he was, blowing out pilot lights around tube stations and then. On the service, they have a pilot. It's been blown out. You'll get a call about 12:00, a 16 hours pay. But something that did happen, I bet something like that happened.

00:29:03:18 – 00:29:35:13
Oh, yeah. For sure, for sure. Like, Again. Yeah. Network. Right. The contract in there to get different people in to do specialist things. It's fucking the Wild West. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. Mad. Absolutely unbelievable. With the, which call it the Napoli one there has been the helicopter I, I don't because I've tried not to really read about it, but obviously I know there was a family on board that helicopter.

00:29:35:13 – 00:29:52:17
Did you mean you tried not to read about it? What? I want to read. What fucking happened? Oh, I do, I'm all over it like a rash. So I've seen I mean, I've seen about four angles. Yeah. And and we're going to talk about the what's going on in Israel at the moment. Not. Oh yeah. No no no no, don't worry.

00:29:52:17 – 00:30:19:03
Don't turn off now. We're not going to do that. But we're not talking about yeah. We're not talking about Israel in that respect. But something happened in the sea anyway. Anyway. Anyway, what would you say the. Yeah the helicopter. And it just kind of like the on one. You see it and then the tail is gone and then it's just fucking falling into the Hudson River.

00:30:19:05 – 00:30:41:18
So imagine, you know, when you saw these, I think you just put it just did that you got bored and the pilot got bored and he just didn't. Because apparently what happens if you push the joystick? There's no it's called a joystick or whatever it's called. It must be. Yeah, yeah, sounds about right. Joystick. Everyone knows if you push the joystick forward and back and forward and back, and then it cuts the tail of the rotor and it.

00:30:41:20 – 00:31:09:09
There must be someone. You listen to this. You understand how helicopters work? It cuts the tail off of the rotor. The rotor tail. Oh, fuck. Really? Yeah. And then they'll just plummet. I think that's my I think that's what happened. I don't know, I've looked into it, but that's my guess. I can actually find out. I, you know, my second cousin is married to a helicopter pilot.

00:31:09:09 – 00:31:32:04
Find the right people. So, I can find that for you quite easily. Yeah, but stuff like that. Do you think? I mean, that's that's human error, isn't it? You reckon that that's why that's come down? That's scarier than a malfunction. Human error. What's what what's been going on in that bloke's life? It's the same problem. Okay, now I watch.

00:31:32:07 – 00:31:54:16
I remember the footballer who flew from from. I think he was signing for me. It was Cardiff when it was Cardiff. I can't remember the guy's name. Salah. Yeah. Salah. Salah not the seller obviously. Yeah. And he chartered a plane because he had to make it was deadline day. Sign in to Cardiff. Yeah. And his website 7 million pounds or something.

00:31:54:20 – 00:32:14:07
So he chartered this plane and the plane didn't make it across the channel. It fell. And and then with hindsight, they looked at it and it was like it should never have flown. Yeah. Anyway, they got no question people was what I'm saying. You trust in these people. Just assume everything's going to be all right. Okay. Right. I'll see where you're going with that.

00:32:14:07 – 00:32:17:19
I see where you're going with that.

00:32:17:21 – 00:32:35:14
With these, terrifying situations. Right? Coming face to face of a wild predator in the wilderness like the worst. Have you ever come anywhere near something like that?

00:32:35:16 – 00:32:51:19
I haven't left Europe, Rick. I so I'm kind of, you know, I went to a I went to a wedding, in Italy, and I just had to Google, just check that bears. And they do have bears in, like, rural Italy, but not big red scary bears. I just I don't know if they can fuck you up or not.

00:32:51:21 – 00:33:10:05
I saw I saw one on TikTok or a bear in Italy. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was, it was following a young boy, and the boy was walking slowly down this mountain hill, talking to his dad, and his dad is shouting like, just calm him down and saying, don't run. Keep looking at me. Don't do this.

00:33:10:05 – 00:33:23:00
Don't do that. If you've seen these protests in Italy. No, they have like crazy bands. Yeah, they fucking big old boys make cheese. Oh, yeah.

00:33:23:02 – 00:33:41:01
So I was right to Google that. Oh, but I felt like because we were in the wilderness, like we were about as remote a place as you could be in Italy. Where were you? So there's a region. I was at a wedding, so it wasn't that scary, but the. It was John's. It was John's wedding. I think it was even John's wedding.

00:33:41:01 – 00:33:49:18
Or it might know definitely John's, because we spent it. Sure. What John notices, but.

00:33:49:20 – 00:34:10:23
And I was just thinking that these are thinking, I don't know if they I'm not 100% sure are aren't bears in Italy and something to me tell me that tells me that they are. But you're thinking you're not going to run into a fucking brown. But sorry, I don't need to swear there. But a brown bear in Italy.

00:34:11:00 – 00:34:34:13
But yes, I could off and I'm glad I checked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, Where is it? Isn't there some alpine regions, like the mountain? The mountain? Oh, yeah. In the round Trent. Yeah. Lombardy, that area. But they're all down through is through the country is down through the, country as well. Really? Well, I'm.

00:34:34:13 – 00:34:58:03
No, I'm doing I don't I'm, I'm not doing my research on the fly here, but I'm looking at raw spots across the, when this. I mean, this isn't really kind of, Campo woke to the sound of crunching as bear bites his head. 2017 Daily Mallow. But hey, what we have is that.

00:34:58:05 – 00:35:24:08
In Italy. Yeah, yeah. 2017 fuck. You know, debate right now is freed. 800 pound killer bears terrorize Italian villages, right? That's that's the answer. The question is the closest I've ever come to a dangerous animal, I think. What did you see a bear? No, no. Just Google saying. Did you see?

00:35:24:10 – 00:35:42:16
What? I mean, I don't know how these people are in the world who live near dangerous animals like where we are in England. It's not, you know, the most dangerous animal in, in in the UK. Do you know what is I don't I, I guess that's a badger. They are fucking ran over a badger the other night.

00:35:42:16 – 00:36:05:20
Weren't great. No, no. You do know the answer if you think about it, dog. No. All right. Maybe you don't know the answer. It's a cow. 22 people a year are killed by cows in the UK. That's the most deadly animal, a fucking cow. Wow. Okay. Yeah. They get trampled, people get trampled. Yeah, I've seen actually.

00:36:05:22 – 00:36:25:03
Yeah. That's. That is. That's pretty. But you. But how do these people, like, live in, like in New South Wales, mate? It's just like, I don't even know why you like. You should just move and, you know, fuck this man. If I look to the left, there's a crocodile. If I look to my right, there's a great white shot.

00:36:25:08 – 00:36:45:05
If I look straight ahead to me, there's a fucking deadly snake. Can you pull it behind me? There's a deadly spider. Said yes. And only lizards in school. You could just be doing your best, right? Working as hard as you can, treating everyone you meet as kindly as possible. You give money to charity, right? You live. You are a saint.

00:36:45:07 – 00:37:09:24
But if you live in New South Wales, in Australia, at any point you can get fucked up by an animal. Yeah, mate, that's just how good you are. I, I saw it video yesterday. Tick tock. And there was a guy, an electrician had been called out around the house. The fuze board, it kept kept the circuit breaker kept going, and it kept drifting out.

00:37:09:24 – 00:37:34:07
So what the fuck's going on? And then the electrician, he's doing his GoPro and he's like, walking over to it. And as he gets closer to it, he says it smells a bit round it. And I'm like. And then he's I'm not entirely sure what that is. And then as he pulls off the cover, there is a massive rock python lying on top of the fuze board, and it's closed itself around the fuze board.

00:37:34:09 – 00:37:57:07
And why that they're getting power trips. It's like stuck in the electric, so it's dead. It should be so all over the fuze board and it's just been electrocuted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where was that? Somewhere in Australia. It was. We're not supposed to be anybody. Listen, Australia. I'm not. I'm some people living there. Everyone gets proud about the country you live in.

00:37:57:09 – 00:38:21:06
No one's supposed to be there apart from the Aborigines. Yeah, that's true. And they. They would have it. They would have grown and experienced what living in that, you know, they would have been cool with the animals. Right. So everything they know and then we've turned up, we've gone and they've got some murderers here and we don't want them in our prison system.

00:38:21:06 – 00:38:40:07
So overpopulated. Yeah. So we're going to just dump them in Australia, be fairly free. Yeah. I mean, thinking back and in my brain would have been a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. And the money with that. Yeah. You quite like the old,

00:38:40:09 – 00:39:05:07
What's it called? Sending all the immigrants over to Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe? Where was it? Uganda? No. Where the fuck was it? Yeah, that's what I was scrabbling around. No, this is, Rwanda. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Just check it, and I just checking. I can't remember it now. They're not all the same, but. No, I'm not saying that.

00:39:05:07 – 00:39:25:08
You just said that. I'm thinking it because of The Goonies. If they had visit Rwanda on their shirt, didn't it? Because this is the. The president of the country is a big also fan. So I just I want to sponsor is it Rwanda. Anyone looked at anybody that's at that sleeve sponsor Arsenal definitely got Rwanda. Yeah. Yeah I'd say about that.

00:39:25:10 – 00:39:45:06
Yeah. Yeah. No but they know what I don't know what. I just thought of this as well. I always remember thinking back when I was, this is when I was a kid and I was at school, right? So forgive me this, but paydays, I always used to be like, they should just run that for the paydays and stick them on an island like the Shetland Island somewhere where they can just thrive on their own.

00:39:45:08 – 00:40:19:23
Just give them, you know, obviously it's just them, an island in the middle of the ocean inside that solution. Well, that's that was my solution. Yeah. Anyone's that pedo stick them on pedo Island and that's it. You know they can. So there's not that they're all there are versions of that in in the States. Have you ever seen the Louis Theroux documentary where no, sex offenders who violent towards children or targeted children, part of their order is that you're not allowed to live near certain.

00:40:20:00 – 00:40:41:08
You know, the schools and like like I think we have something similar. Yeah, yeah. But one of the solutions was that making this sort of camp, this area where they can live, they have to check in. They're being watched a lot. They have to have counseling sessions and, and then and then Louis Theroux went into one of these clinics and interviewed or order to a pizza.

00:40:41:10 – 00:41:05:02
So wow, that was kind of a way of doing it. And then eventually, when they thought they were no longer a threat, that they would, you could have a relatively normal life. Yeah, I don't I for me, it would be one of those, you've committed that crime, the payday crime. You just going to have to live in Pedo Island for the rest of your life, whether or not you are remorseful or.

00:41:05:02 – 00:41:32:18
And what about this? What about this? If there's some if there was a, there was a a pedo, but he, he, he served his time. Yeah. And but you so you got to get him back into society. But you don't really want him in jobs taking our jobs. Right. Okay. Right. So you make him an abalone diver, right?

00:41:32:19 – 00:41:54:17
You know what I do? Yeah. Yeah, I, I don't know what they have today, but I'm going to guess is this, you know, abalone is is it abalone or abalone? It's sort of like a sea snail, I think. Right. And it's a delicacy. And they cost a fortune and. Wow. Oh yeah, I do know. Yeah, yeah I do.

00:41:54:19 – 00:42:20:08
Yeah. What happens is, is they, they, they dive I think is, is Australia somewhere over there where all manner of things are and they dive in areas that are just riddled with great wise and, and they and the areas, that aren't safe for you to go out and but you can't. There's no way to get these these snails.

00:42:20:08 – 00:42:38:08
I think they're I think they also abalone snails. You can't get them off the mollusks of some sort. You can't get them off the rocks about leap without diving. So they go down in these mobile shark cages that just fit one person, and they operate the shark cage with like, a remote control. So it's like a little mini submarine.

00:42:38:10 – 00:42:57:15
Like like like like a Titan. Kind of like. Yeah, like that. But they're not going. They're not going to look at the Titanic. They're just trying to find snails. And they and eventually, though, they can't access the rock from the cage, so they have to get out of the cage and swim freely in the water. I, I don't know if it's breeding grounds with great whites.

00:42:57:15 – 00:43:12:22
I don't know if it's just a part of their migration. Whatever it is, it's super dangerous. And divers get attacked. Make the place do that. Yeah, but don't pay them.

00:43:12:24 – 00:43:33:13
Because abalone divers will be. Actually, I don't know how they. Because they get paid like 120 grand a year. Abalone private divers. Fuck. You know, that's a bit. So they may be like, they might have to strike. They might have to picket line and picket lines. And look, fucking Peta is coming over here taking our jobs, and and they're not charging.

00:43:33:15 – 00:44:08:01
They're working for free. Go send them somewhere else. Can I talk about what's happening in this round? In. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah, yeah, we bet we we had mentioned that before. We forget. God. So the are this is, this is something I've been following from last week because the footage came out was similar, not as not as clear, but similar to the Russky that got fucked up by a tiger shark in Egypt about three years ago.

00:44:08:03 – 00:44:27:07
Yeah. Which is still one of the most incredible things that crazy things I've ever seen. To clarify, we're talking about a shark attack in Israel. Okay. Yeah. So what's happened this week is, like, a man was killed in an area of, of Israel.

00:44:27:09 – 00:44:50:17
Hadera it is. And, what's happened is it's a bit of a tourist trap, and there are tons of videos of people interacting with these shots at dusky sharks. Right. And there are so many in the area, these dusky sharks, there are way more than there should be. It's why. Well, they know why they there is a power plant power plant nearby.

00:44:50:19 – 00:45:12:20
And the power plant is using uses the sea to call as a calling mechanism. It ends up pumping really warm water into the area which attracts baitfish, which attracts sharks. And so there is an abundance of dusky sharks and sandbar sharks who, the are just in the area because of the abundance of baitfish and the warm waters as well.

00:45:12:20 – 00:45:33:02
Right. So they're like, I could stay here where all the fish and warm water is, or I could go over into the ocean where it's freezing and there's less fish where we're going to stay here and breed. Again, another reason why human beings are responsible for everything, right? Yeah. Because if that power plant didn't exist, there wouldn't be an abundance of dusky sharks.

00:45:33:04 – 00:45:53:07
There wouldn't be tourists attract to this area to see them. And this man wouldn't have felt completely comfortable swimming in the area because dusky sharks, while, aggressive, can be aggressive, typically are okay as long as you don't interfere. And that's why there's tons of videos online of them swimming between kids like they're taught to toddlers. I saw the footage last week.

00:45:53:09 – 00:46:12:16
Yeah. Yeah. So that footage, I don't know when it was recorded, but it came out a similar just a day or two before this man was attacked. And it's the footage is of this shark swimming and the parents going, don't move, don't move, don't move. And the shark, which is about five, six feet long, swims in between these two toddlers.

00:46:12:18 – 00:46:35:17
Now, in the same week, this guy, was swimming out there, and he was attacked by a dusky shark. Not once they think he was tapped by several dusky sharks that maybe checked 3 or 4, and they tore it to pieces. And this is a shark. This considered that what people treat it like. It's not something that needs to be respected because you've seen all the footage.

00:46:35:17 – 00:47:00:12
It's just people fucking about. I've never even heard of a dusky shark. Like you've heard of a whaler. So, yes. So it is a dusky whaler shark. So you've got bronze whalers and dusky whalers shot. Yeah, right to the dusky shark. But it's that same family. Right. Okay. So they're whaler sharks, basically. And where the sharks are, you know, then it's not like fucking about with a tiger shark, but it is.

00:47:00:14 – 00:47:22:13
So he was ripped to pieces by these dusky sharks we see was swimming in an area that has an abundance of them, where it was food. And it took what took one to take a bite measure. If one hasn't fed hungry. And he got ripped to pieces and there's about 4 or 5 different angles of it. And I've seen everyone.

00:47:22:15 – 00:47:42:18
Can't really see much. You can see the blood in the water and you can hear the sea is a bit that's a bit tasty. He can it. Yeah it is. Would you say that's your most terrifying situation you could ever be in? Yes. Being, you know, in deep water with a shark. Yes. Or or saltwater crocodile or something like that.

00:47:42:18 – 00:48:11:13
Yeah. Oh my God, I don't know why. Well, crocodiles really, there's just something about them that. Well, you know, they're aggressive creatures. Yeah, they are, they are. If one king stumbles across you, he's going to go, you know, they're going to go. That they are just so vicious like we're talking about, manmade. Well, man, kind of, like the maintenance of the, cable car and stuff like that.

00:48:11:13 – 00:48:37:18
And then obviously, man in the, power station in the sea, blah, blah, blah. Can I interest you in a terrifying situation of a tsunami, natural earthquakes, tsunami or that today I do love tsunami. I want you to get past the loss of human life. I'm fascinated by tsunami. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Injected into my gills, I, Yeah, yeah.

00:48:37:20 – 00:49:18:20
Do you remember Boxing Day content for days. May I still watch it? Now? If it does pop up, I will watch it. Yeah. I ain't going out looking for 2011 tsunami footage. No, but if it comes up, I'm definitely lingering. I'm lingering. Yeah. This. There is a famous one where it kind of. You just see the waves chopping, chopping, and then it's like, I think maybe there's a siren and someone is filming from a block of flats, and then these waves that breach where they're supposed to, and the water starts spilling out, and then you can see all these boats being swept, and then it just goes into absolute mayhem.

00:49:18:23 – 00:49:44:20
And there's people are so oblivious to it, just so you know, on them, you know, going to work on their push bike, cycling along. Little do they know there is a fucking tsunami on the bay. And that like because you've got obviously this on it happened in Japan and then it, it carried like you saw the effects in Thailand and all over a.

00:49:44:22 – 00:50:13:15
But one thing that really does it, I would love to go to Thailand. I find island hopping, that kind of stuff. You're scared of getting envelope by a tsunami? Absolutely. Sure. Yeah. Well, like, we know when the weather forecast is so good now, it can predict exactly when it's going to start raining hours ahead. And I know there's probably an answer for this, but why can't they just predict when there's going to be a massive fucking tsunami?

00:50:13:17 – 00:50:32:05
I don't know, I know that's an army alarms don't they? Yeah, I, I wouldn't worry about it, Rick. I'm meant what way to go. What way to go. Yeah. Oh family. And I say, you know me like me a lot would fly. The pod would absolutely fly. I think in the back catalog, everyone would listen to everything.

00:50:32:07 – 00:50:59:05
The air. But it's that panic in it. The panic of not knowing, having your kids around. Yeah. Family being swept around and stuff like that. All that stuff would be terrible. And yeah, it's just I'm. I couldn't think about anything worse. When I was doing some, research for this, one of the ones that kept popping up about terrifying situation being buried alive.

00:50:59:07 – 00:51:22:15
Yeah. Are you are you saying I really like that? Yeah. No, I appreciate that. I used that like when I play fight with my brothers when I was little, they would wrap me in a, a, duvet. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't move, I couldn't move, and I used to. I used to hate that not being able to move used to send me insane.

00:51:22:17 – 00:51:43:13
I would panic, I would have I would panic and it wouldn't take two seconds to start panicking as well. I'd. I'd like they'd wrap me up and I wouldn't be able to move. I, I would panic, I would really start screaming and doing everything I can to get out. So the idea about being buried alive, the people don't know this shit, but you don't know what's happening in your kids bedrooms, right?

00:51:43:13 – 00:52:02:13
I'm not saying anything untoward is happening. Yeah, well, what are you going on about? Well, simple play fighting could cause genuine panic in children. Like, I was having panic attacks, and I didn't know what a panic attack was then, because they were wrapping me up in a in a quilt cover, and I couldn't move until they got bored, like that's.

00:52:02:15 – 00:52:06:11
That meant I'm gonna have a drink with them later.

00:52:06:13 – 00:52:32:23
So they they get it, bro. Time right now. Fuck fuck fuck yeah. That is, that is horrible. And like, in, when you call in an avalanche and stuff like that, and the kids, the, the bodies of snow and ice, it moves around you, but it locks into you like concrete, and you like you could be just like a meter underneath the surface.

00:52:33:00 – 00:52:57:09
But the snow is so compressed and compacted around you, concrete, you can't get out. And then the oxygen starts thinning out, and then it's, it's a it's a bad situation. It's a bloody bad situation. Why don't you get. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he had to say to me sooner, Army or avalanche a frog.

00:52:57:11 – 00:53:02:08
I'll go, I'll go. Tsunami.

00:53:02:10 – 00:53:25:03
Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. Do you know what I want? I don't like the cold. I don't want to be like in going to show. You know, one of the things that I did, I didn't anticipate or think about because you ever seen the film The Impossible? No. It's about the. It's about the tsunami. It's got you, you, McGregor and Tom Holland is a child may watch it with a family.

00:53:25:03 – 00:53:48:20
It's it's it's it's sad but it's also like uplifting. It's really it's a Hollywood ification of the tsunamis, the tsunamis, the tsunami. Right. The and it is a really good film and it's easy to watch and it's uplifting, but it's also quite sad and harrowing. It's a perfect film to watch for the family. Yeah. Even if it is quiet, you know, it's sad.

00:53:48:20 – 00:54:16:07
It's about how families separated, during the tsunami and them trying to find each other and get back to each other. But there's footage of the tsunami and how they shot it is insane. You're like, this is mental. So I would genuinely if you've got, like, an afternoon and you want to do something together and you can get the girls off their fucking phones for two minutes, then sit down on that film that you've just mentioned something, and I hadn't thought about this in years.

00:54:16:09 – 00:54:24:12
You recommended a podcast to me years ago.

00:54:24:14 – 00:54:59:22
Is this American Life? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I haven't listened to it in ages. And, one of the first episodes I listened to was that somebody had built a telephone box in their back garden because they had lost their family. And it's an army. Oh, yeah. Fuck. I thought about a so sad second. Yeah, to kind of, I think I grieve they, they would walk out to this telephone box and make phone calls like pretend phone call and just chat about their day to the person they lost in Izanami.

00:54:59:24 – 00:55:19:21
And then loads of other people would go to this telephone box, and it became a kind of a community thing where people would grieve in this telephone. And I'm like 17 minutes into this podcast, crying on my own, walking round the lake like, that's a fucking great recommendation. There was a lot of that. Oh, inside, man, it was fucking harrowing.

00:55:19:23 – 00:55:43:03
It's called a wind phone. And and they have them in Japan. They have them in cemeteries. Not all cemeteries, but they. And you can. Yeah. You pick the phone up and you talk to people that you want to talk to. But I like and it's quite nice that they actually. Yeah. If you Google it you can see this like examples of, of them and they're like little telephone boxes essentially.

00:55:43:05 – 00:56:05:03
And yeah now that was a harrowing episode. You know, it was that, that I found that This American Life, it can be a bit cheesy and very Americanized. And if you if you find sort of American media a bit nauseating, which can be not all American, but like the way they present stuff sometimes in the made in news and how how they show you the produce.

00:56:05:03 – 00:56:27:00
It's very different to what we have in the UK. So, but the storytelling and the journalism in it is amazing at times. Really? Really. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've got a, I've got a list here of other stuff, but just, you know, I'm all right. So, hearing footsteps inside your house when you knowing that you're alone.

00:56:27:03 – 00:56:46:06
Yeah, I had that more. I had that in this flat, this house that I'm in now. I heard someone walking up the stairs. I was walking up the stairs, and, there was no one there. And it was. It was if someone would work. Boots were walking up the stairs. It was so loud, I thought that the kids that, come in and was woken up.

00:56:46:06 – 00:57:02:19
I says for some reason that's how loud it was. And there was no one there. Yeah. No, no, I'm, I'm, I'm moving into a house that was built in the 1860s. That definitely going to be some sort of shit going on for sure. Well and like, you're like, how do you like, now? How do you feel about that?

00:57:02:24 – 00:57:23:21
Because I, if I heard I get, like, genuinely I'd have to move house. I couldn't be in the house if my like my Mrs. guy. Nah, I'm going away for five days. I mean, the girl is gone and I have to stay in the house on my own. I would go to my mom's house. No, I, I, I, I what it's not.

00:57:23:22 – 00:57:48:06
I don't believe in ghosts. So that that can't be the explanation. Right. People go to that explanation because they think, what else can it be? But it can't be that. Right? Because there is irrefutably no proof of the afterlife. No one has been out to prove it exists. No one has be able to catch a ghost on tape that hasn't been doctored or created in some way.

00:57:48:11 – 00:58:04:07
I don't believe any of it. I've seen some good books, some good photographs, and I remember as I was a kid as well, because I used to look at Sharp Books. Now, the ghost of the ghost section in the library. So, so I can visualize some of the same ones as you can, you know, the famous ones in graveyards in that.

00:58:04:09 – 00:58:27:12
But the answer to the you, the answer can't be if you hear something like that in your house, if you're if you consider yourself a man of logic, as you might do it, it can't be that there's just ghosts in the house. There's something else that's making the noise. It's something. It's not gross. How is it? How is it done?

00:58:27:12 – 00:58:47:15
The footsteps. It. They're not footsteps. All they. There's something else. What is it? They don't know. And therefore I say when I say that, I'm definitely not going to go straight to. It's ghosts from the afterlife. Come in. And walking up my stairs. It is. It's an expert workman, right? It doesn't it doesn't scare me and I don't I don't even think about it.

00:58:47:17 – 00:59:04:17
But when I heard it, I says, I, I was weird and then never thought about it again until you said about, right. Today we, we're going to do something a little bit different. You know, we're not going to do a dilemma. We're going to do a question, but we still going to do something only, you know.

00:59:04:17 – 00:59:37:08
And that is called Fast and Furious. The topic for next week. We've had quite a few emails about this recently. I don't know why. British sitcoms, your favorite underrated gems? Maybe like a ranking knock out tournament of them sitcoms that haven't aged well, that there's this. I don't know if you've seen it, but there's some, Gen Z type commentary around friends not being appropriate anymore.

00:59:37:10 – 00:59:58:02
I don't care, don't I don't want to. Inbetweeners. Who cares? Well, yeah. Okay. Who cares? Well, we can talk about it, but you'll just be me getting angry. Yeah. That's good. I mean, we can get angry together. You. But the great thing about it is you can't stop. It is out there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What is in between?

00:59:58:02 – 01:00:22:20
Is misogyny misogynistic? Yes. When when J J Cartwright's talking about fingering birds while fucking another one and refer to variants of the vagina. There's all sorts. Of course, there is an element of misogyny in that. All people looking at JK Rowling and that's what I want to be. Or did I see and being completely fucking ridiculous and taking that's the last person.

01:00:22:20 – 01:00:45:05
Yes. Is comedy. So what? Yeah. If you're offended, good fucking shit. What do I do? I just I just hate it. So don't fucking tell me what to watch or what I find funny, or I will be, we'll be talking about, you know, I, I want to do another episode of the. Oh, right. Friend. Only for, Alan Partridge.

01:00:45:07 – 01:01:15:03
Partridge? Peep show. I might watch some, but I'll peep show. I might have to. Okay, I was going to say condom up. So if you have any British sitcoms that you would like us to discuss, any that you think that we may have not seen or underrated gems, send in to lots and on pod at gmail.com and we will read them out.

01:01:15:03 – 01:01:43:03
Now, I said about the dilemma. We're not going to go into a dilemma. We're going to go into a question, and it's a question for you, fluff. Oh, and and I'll answer it as well. Yeah. How many 100,000 pound grapes would you eat if 1 in 1000 was poisonous? No. I'll ask the question again. How many? 100,000 pound.

01:01:43:03 – 01:02:07:23
Great. 100,000 pound for each grape. Oh, yeah. Each one of them can kill you. How many? 1 in 1000. How many grapes would you eat? Loads of grapes. So you've got ten grapes. You've got a milli. Easily done. Ten. It's 1 in 1 in a 1 in 1000. John and I. And it's not. Yeah, it's not poison where you're, kind of feeling a bit ill.

01:02:07:23 – 01:02:26:12
You got a bad stomachache and I was, so I was, I was like, yeah, you know what? Who is the, the Russian. That was it. The Russian who got poisoned. Yeah. What's his name? I can't remember his name. You got Novichok? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah, yeah. Novichok. All right. Yeah. That's not a great way to go.

01:02:26:14 – 01:02:49:12
No, no. This. Yeah. Uranium in a grape. Yeah. Why are they doing that, dude? Poison. That just got me dead. Why it be cruel and make them fucking die over six weeks? Yeah. All right. It's a witch. Call it. It's a visual message, you know? Yeah, I guess so. You're right, you're right. I'm eating, I'm eating.

01:02:49:14 – 01:03:12:18
What's a 1 in 1000 chance? I'm eating 20 grapes. Oh, yeah? Yeah, mate, it's such a small. So unlikely you're going to get the bad grape like. Yeah. Yeah, unlikely. So unlikely. Yeah, but what if you do get that grape? But it's about it's liver. It's a payoff. It's weighing payoff. Obviously that's the whole thing. So yeah, it's dead.

01:03:12:18 – 01:03:36:15
But you're never gonna get an opportunity like this ever again. So you have to maximize it. You could eat, you know, the likelihood of you could eat 100 grapes and 90% of people would be fine. Yeah. So I, mate, I would definitely have to. I definitely have to hit that meal. I definitely have to have ten. How many?

01:03:36:16 – 01:03:49:11
I mean, when you went back in the heydays when we were much younger, when you're knocking about pills, how many times do you think I'm going to be a little bit? See, I'm going to do a bit. So you didn't you just popped him and went about. Yeah, it's the same thing. You just don't think. Yeah. You don't think about it.

01:03:49:11 – 01:04:12:10
Better think about what a good stuff. This is going to feel great for the next three hours. Yeah. I'm pretty I'm doing I probably I probably 2020 would be super safe, but you could probably do 120 20, you know, you, Right. Let me let me ask you this. If you're, if you're my if you're eating 100 grapes, your your what you're worth, then 10 million.

01:04:12:12 – 01:04:22:12
Yeah. Right. So what I'm saying I'll give you 10 million pounds, but you have a 1 in 10 chance of dying. Would you take that shot?

01:04:22:14 – 01:04:51:10
Oh, that's a great. That's the same thing that. Yeah, I know. So so if you're saying to me, if I'm saying 20 grapes, that's even I don't know, I can't do the maths, the fractions. But I see that's like what was it if you're 20 grapes out of a thousand, it's like, I can't even compute how unlikely it is that you're going to end up with the dodgy grape and I, but if you do that, I just imagine they're all on the table and they've all been shuffled about.

01:04:51:12 – 01:05:08:01
Right. You've done it. Where is it gonna be? You know how many prizes? A thousand. You look like you're looking down at 1000 grapes. You're like, I'm definitely not picking up. What happened to you then? What you did what you say? I think I think, like my sending out. Yeah, yeah, it's sending out 1 million pounds.

01:05:08:01 – 01:05:25:13
Not. I ain't going to change your life. You're going to be taxed on that so you can lose half of it. Yeah, I know, I know, but I don't I don't have it. Guy 20 grapes. Maybe, maybe maybe 15 grapes. And then I'd start to get squeaky bum time if it was Donna, how many grapes would you want it to eat?

01:05:25:14 – 01:05:41:18
That's a different question from me. So if it was my wife doing it, and how much would you encourage her to knowing that she could die? And. Well, it depends. It depends if if she eats the amount of grapes and then she dies. Do I still get any of the money? Like you get no money? Did you lose your wife?

01:05:41:18 – 01:05:56:17
You get no money. Oh, God. I'm going to tell her today. The 15 as well. With both. Day 15. I thought you can go 300 for Donna.

01:05:56:19 – 01:06:11:18
Eat half of the grapes. Done. That's it for the family. Come on. Really? Like, imagine what you could get for the girls. Imagine the holidays there. Maybe I worry about anything ever again. 300 reintegration Prix under. Great.

01:06:11:20 – 01:06:37:05
So we we often do get dilemmas we love hearing about. And I'm trying to help you guys and support you guys with the dilemmas that you get in, but we sometimes don't get them in. And rather than not do anything, I would like to do a more of a we want your questions like this. So would you rather those types of questions they good.

01:06:37:05 – 01:07:08:07
They I mean they've been done to death but I still wouldn't mind I would you rather, anything that's troubling you? It doesn't have to be a dilemma. Just be a that's an a situation at work, whatever it might be. If you, if we, you know, go to. Am I the asshole? If you've got any questions like that and you want to hear a noise, opinion on it, send it in, or just a simple one, you know, should ketchup be stored in the fridge?

01:07:08:09 – 01:07:21:23
Yeah. Close it should. You reckon? What are you. What? You don't even catch up in the fridge. It says on the labels are refrigerated. Well, I mean when you buy it. Is it in the fridge?

01:07:22:00 – 01:07:42:03
No. Is it. No no no no no no no no no no no no it's airtight. You won't release the vacuum like I keep I keep mine in the radiator. It's lovely and it nice and cold and it. We ought to I say this like what about, Eggos? Where are you keeping them? No, not in the fridge.

01:07:42:03 – 01:08:04:08
No, they just live in the. Hey, look, I'm telling you, don't talk to me about eggs, right? I've. I've. I've kept chickens for years. Right? Right. The natural preservation of an egg. I don't know what's the word. She keeps it at one that's unfertilized. Obviously you can have the egg for about 3 to 4 weeks. Fuck. Really? Yeah.

01:08:04:10 – 01:08:29:04
It's not as good. It doesn't taste as good. You can tell the difference, but. Yeah, I mean, it's nothing better than, a chicken laying an egg and, you know, you've eaten it within 30 minutes. I remember at your wedding where in the morning that we were on a farm and there was, like, a chicken coop. Yeah. I need you to lift it up or something about that in my ass.

01:08:29:04 – 01:08:49:22
That's like, this is fucking rain. This is rain. Yeah. My. It was a good wedding. It was a great wedding. So if you've got any questions or anything like that, does a does pineapple belong on a pizza I don't know. We will discuss it send it into lads anon pod at gmail.com and we will go for your questions.

01:08:49:22 – 01:09:00:04
Now it's time for something and only, you know, something. You know.

01:09:00:06 – 01:09:26:23
Fast and furious, love the pod. Listens since the start and haven't missed a single one and patiently waiting for the Patreon. Thank you very much that I'm appealing shortly. So I was a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to losing the old virginity. I was 24, just moved out of my parents and told myself enough is enough, I just need to do this.

01:09:26:23 – 01:09:49:15
So I jumped on Tinder and matched with a girl who just wanted some something casual, and she ended up coming over that night. Okay. No, no. So he was there all along and I one thing led to another, but we ended up doing the deed and oh my God, my mind was blown. I couldn't get enough of it.

01:09:49:17 – 01:10:14:09
She stayed the night and then we ended up fucking all night. It turned into a casual thing. She would come over 4 or 5 times a week and stay every time. It's not a casual thing, is it? You know, that's a relationship, motherfucker. Going good while seeing her. I was still seeking someone for love. I dated a few girls and slept with one.

01:10:14:11 – 01:10:35:13
Then I ended up meeting this girl and fell in love with her almost instantly. After the awkward first date, of course. Went out with her a few times and thought it was. It was best to stop seeing the other girl, but she seemed to want something out of it and had suggested doing something else, which I always had an excuse for.

01:10:35:13 – 01:10:59:14
So what you said about the, you know, the casual thing 4 or 5 times and I think someone, you know, naturally would get attached. Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah, yeah. She ended up coming over and I fixed their car, which I'd already agreed to. We had sweet sex again and she stayed tonight. The next morning we both got up for work driving off.

01:10:59:16 – 01:11:09:07
She was just behind me. She was really tired and all over the place. And in brackets they put from a night full of it.

01:11:09:09 – 01:11:14:04
Full of their.

01:11:14:06 – 01:11:21:12
I got it, not full of it. Yeah. Good. And she ended up crashing the car.

01:11:21:14 – 01:11:49:18
I had a split second decision to make, stay and make sure she was okay on leave, knowing full well what would happen. Why left. We never spoke after that again. Now, all of this happened in the space of three weeks, from the first fuck to the car crash ending and the girl I fell in love with I hadn't even slept with yet.

01:11:49:20 – 01:12:12:20
But we now have been together for seven years and have a child. We get married, okay? Sometimes things just fall into place and that is something I know. I love. The moment that is a great a bellezza might be my favorite one ever. I love the fact that he's driving. He's looking in the window looking at again. I can't believe I've said it there again.

01:12:12:22 – 01:12:33:17
I don't want to do this and oh God, she's catching feelings. Is something wrong? I'll fix the car. But, you know, shake there again, I love fuck. What am I doing? Oh, what's up in there? She's crashing into something and then he's gone. What do I do? Do I drive? Keep driving, keep driving, keep driving. Then by the time decisions made.

01:12:33:19 – 01:12:54:17
Yes, he's made this drive drives off into the back seat of our eyes just to say, crash. Like he'll come here and help me out. Why is it indicating. Oh. Oh, my God, he's he's driving and he's driven away. Yeah. Right now I know. Now I know where. And sometimes you need something like that. I need to be illustrated.

01:12:54:19 – 01:13:16:01
It needs to be illustrated. It is. Yeah, but there is a lesson to anybody else. Listen to this. Is that what people say? And what they actually feel, especially in these instances with women that I've found that casual sex very rarely is just casual sex. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. As women out there enjoy casual sex and and it is normal.

01:13:16:01 – 01:13:35:09
But but it's it's not it. You can catch feelings. Oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah. And especially five times a night and staying over every night. That isn't casual sex. That's a relationship. I very like relationship. But for you getting into that, you're like, I just want I want it to lose my virginity. And then, oh my God, there's sex on tap.

01:13:35:09 – 01:14:00:10
Of course, but sometimes feelings are caught. I think in most cases, whether people like to admit feeling ways because from, from one side to the other, it can't be physically happening. And then things like casual sex is like, if it's just the act of sex, you roll off each other and then you have a fag and there isn't any emotional intimacy.

01:14:00:12 – 01:14:20:01
No. And physical intimacy. Then then that's that. But lying and cuddling afterwards, watching a film together in bed, maybe that's that's that's right. Yeah, yeah. And they taste that stress in the right, the right direction for a lot of people. But you can't do that and expect there to be no impact. I just thought this was just casual sex.

01:14:20:01 – 01:14:47:01
Well then don't do the Catlin mate. Yeah I mean I yeah. No, I totally agree. Totally agree. So next week the topic is going to be British sitcoms. If you if there were any like what I want to know is what I want to hear from people is sitcoms that they don't think other people are saying that they're underrated gems that I would like to, you know, one of the ones I love, they go on going, we've got it, guy.

01:14:47:03 – 01:15:06:19
I think it was cool. It was going so well, let me I want to get the correct name because I Google it. But I watched it about 25 years ago. And I always think about it when you say you're special, I've got to go on. So phone shop. Yeah. Incredible phone shop. Absolutely insane. Yeah. So good. Yeah.

01:15:06:20 – 01:15:28:02
Right. And he's so good. Was top Buzzer. So I'll make this week to watch that together. The week if we used to watch that. Yeah. Smoked up. And what's his all about. Weed as well wouldn't it. Yeah. Yeah that was good. I haven't thought about top buzzer in ages. That was the first thing that I remember. Stephen Graham in as well.
