Flav: When was the last time you was able to put products on the hair?

00:03:24.25
Ricky: Right, yeah. I mean.

00:03:26.52
Flav: Because that's where how we start this conversation. So I've come into the studio today and I've got a bit of product in my ear.

00:03:29.73
Ricky: Yeah. we recorded yesterday and your hair didn't look like that and i can't believe how much change you look like a new man with a bit of product in your hair and i was like You should be…

00:03:44.77
Ricky: You should feel grateful. unlucky. That. you're 45 years old. and you can still put products in your hair you still have to go and Go to Superdrug and buy the…

00:03:58.09
Ricky: luminescent Tub of green gel.

00:04:00.64
Flav: No, it's not that anymore

00:04:01.05
Ricky: Strong, super strong.

00:04:02.59
Flav: Those powders, no.

00:04:04.24
Ricky: Pat, what the fuck?

00:04:08.94
Flav: It's powder.

00:04:08.98
Ricky: You got powder in your hair?

00:04:11.19
Flav: Yeah, so it comes in like a little box.

00:04:12.52
Ricky: What? What the fuck?

00:04:14.85
Flav: it's the soft It's designed for men's hair, right? Short hair. And it especially helps if you're thin.

00:04:20.92
Ricky: Yeah.

00:04:21.09
Flav: because it texturizes and gives volume to your hair. But you get this little part, it's like a little… I haven't got any here Um, I'm trying to see if my back is… And you just…

00:04:33.10
Flav: pop it tap it on the hair like that. And it comes out like a… of white dust.

00:04:37.95
Ricky: Sound like you're salting your head.

00:04:39.62
Flav: Yeah, you be you go right to the hair. You just tap it like that. And then you just mess it up and it… keeps hold held and also makes it look like you've got more hair than you have.

00:04:48.00
Ricky: How does that work?

00:04:49.48
Flav: It's like hair fibers, it feels like. But if we ever get sponsored, it'd be great.

00:04:54.30
Ricky: ah Right, a okay.

00:04:54.24
Flav: Not for you, but… Mm.

00:04:56.25
Ricky: and Like, ah so when when I was younger… At school, it was, you know, the super drug. pot of gel That was green.

00:05:02.78
Flav: Gel.

00:05:03.18
Ricky: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it was like it really looked wet yeah it looked like your hair was wet

00:05:03.73
Flav: Green gel.

00:05:06.96
Flav: Yeah, I remember it. You can get it in blue and red and everything.

00:05:09.73
Ricky: Yeah, yeah. yeah

00:05:11.55
Flav: But it was just a little tub. It was about 50p.

00:05:12.76
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah.

00:05:15.02
Flav: and you put your hand in it, and it'd be… soaking wet.

00:05:17.95
Ricky: Yeah.

00:05:18.33
Flav: And it would just. Make your head. hair rock hard in the one direction, innit?

00:05:22.48
Ricky: exactly that my French crop never moved Beautiful. And then as I got older… uh straightened hair longer hair i used what It was more of a putty, but then…

00:05:34.22
Ricky: i could i always misjudged the party so like i just had clumps in my hair But I haven't used a product. since. I was 30. So I'm 43 now So I've saved myself a lot of money, which is, you know.

00:05:50.50
Ricky: A bonus.

00:05:50.72
Flav: ah how did you find going from having hair well you didn't have it it was very gradual process and you held on for way too long.

00:05:57.44
Ricky: Hmm.

00:05:57.13
Flav: so but that was obviously there's some sort of psychology there you wanted hair

00:06:01.59
Ricky: yeah I mean you saying that already, my back's up.

00:06:04.44
Flav: Yeah.

00:06:04.99

00:06:05.94
Flav: was same It was disgusting. yeah

00:06:07.90
Ricky: Yeah.

00:06:11.76
Flav: but By the end, it was disgusting.

00:06:11.61
Ricky: You can't…

00:06:13.54
Flav: like I'd be walking next to him. He's like, you've got to let it go.

00:06:19.07
Ricky: No never. It it stays. but And that it was only when I moved to Network Rail.

00:06:27.19
Flav: Yeah.

00:06:28.19
Ricky: when I was like 29 or 30 and I thought you You can't go. from having long straightened hair. to

00:06:37.38
Flav: Boat.

00:06:38.04
Ricky: bald because everyone's going to be like, oh wow, that's mental.

00:06:41.15

00:06:44.75
Ricky: Bull guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:46.65

00:06:54.90
Ricky: Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.

00:06:56.18
Flav: It was like short. there you look like a looking waiter

00:06:57.72
Ricky: Yeah. E-

00:07:02.83
Ricky: The thing is, I would always go to that ah lady on…

00:07:07.44
Flav: I have one.

00:07:08.19
Ricky: Yeah, Avalon. And I would show her the same haircut, the same printout that I had, the same five images of Niall Gallagher's hair, right? ah

00:07:18.64
Flav: Do this. Just wait.

00:07:20.07
Ricky: can you do this and she'd be like yeah and it'd be different every time

00:07:23.77
Flav: because Because the answer was no.

00:07:26.44
Ricky: No.

00:07:26.61
Flav: She couldn't do it.

00:07:26.61
Ricky: nay

00:07:27.40
Flav: She should have said no.

00:07:28.66
Ricky: Yeah.

00:07:28.62
Flav: Love. you know, It's unfortunate. But… This is never going to happen for you.

00:07:34.21
Ricky: Hmm.

00:07:33.92
Flav: That's what she should have said. Or you could get you could get a hair system. You get that now. I was looking at my hair, like, because I saw one on Twitter the other day, geez are like, they're amazing.

00:07:38.24
Ricky: Yeah.

00:07:41.55
Flav: They look like you've got a full head of hair. They…

00:07:44.53
Ricky: Yeah.

00:07:45.19
Flav: The problem is though is once you've gone bald you can't turn up with hair.

00:07:49.46
Ricky: No.

00:07:49.38
Flav: Because… No.

00:07:50.96
Ricky: you you You can't, like… i mean i don't know if we can say but like let's just say we've got a friend in common

00:08:00.03
Flav: he's not He's not being serious though, is he?

00:08:02.08
Ricky: I don't know, I think he is

00:08:04.44
Flav: So a friend of ours is is planning on… maybe getting a hair system and going from bald to… He was even talking about shoulder length.

00:08:11.52
Ricky: Yeah.

00:08:11.76
Flav: He'd always wanted long hair.

00:08:13.31
Ricky: Yeah, like a man bun. be able to kind of like flick his hair.

00:08:17.49
Flav: Yeah, the problem…

00:08:17.74
Ricky: But… Yeah, go ahead.

00:08:20.48
Flav: I mean the point is

00:08:24.12
Flav: No. I guess. the The point is to make you feel better.

00:08:28.33
Ricky: Mmm.

00:08:28.83
Flav: But the problem is everyone knows what you've done.

00:08:31.89
Ricky: Yeah.

00:08:32.04
Flav: So how but new it's only when you meet new people is it effective?

00:08:35.86
Ricky: Yeah.

00:08:37.03
Flav: How many times do you meet new people do you even care about? so far So rare.

00:08:42.54
Ricky: The thing is, well, you like, I understand where someone is thin thinning on top. they can see patches in their hair or whatever and they decide yeah i'm gonna get a hair system You can't come from a place of having no hair for 15 years.

00:08:58.88
Ricky: And then get in her system.

00:09:00.48
Flav: The only way I think you can do it is if you split up. if You have a massive breakup. and you think i've got to find a new woman or a man or whatever it is you might be interested and then you're like I can start from fresh here. And then eventually you have to tell her you've got a syrup.

00:09:13.25
Ricky: Yeah, but that you've you've got off on a bad foot because you've already, you've begun the relationship and I lie.

00:09:20.86
Flav: Yeah, I know that but you've got to give yourself a chance.

00:09:22.93
Ricky: I don't know.

00:09:23.59
Flav: Because not… Not everyone. In fact, it's actually it's a bit of a myth, but women love bald-headed men, apparently.

00:09:29.65
Ricky: Yeah.

00:09:30.62
Flav: Yeah.

00:09:32.18
Ricky: So what what what? Do you ever…

00:09:33.67
Flav: What's the problem? Who are you doing it for?

00:09:34.50
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah, exactly

00:09:36.73
Flav: Well, you know a friend of ours went to Turkey

00:09:39.20
Ricky: Yeah? Is he happy?

00:09:42.33
Flav: He's so much happier than he was.

00:09:44.04
Ricky: There you go.

00:09:45.71
Flav: Yeah.

00:09:45.78
Ricky: Would you ever do that?

00:09:47.95
Flav: No.

00:09:49.60
Ricky: So you're you're like when it goes you are just I don't think yours is gonna go

00:09:55.68
Flav: my My dad's is gone. It's just strands now I think I'd be like that.

00:10:00.67
Ricky: But he's not bald though, is he?

00:10:02.96
Flav: He's… pretty bold.

00:10:04.27
Ricky: He's got a crowd on his head.

00:10:04.29
Flav: Like… Yeah, he's got a cloud on his head.

00:10:07.48
Ricky: Yeah, yeah.

00:10:07.97
Flav: And he's got like… like He's got hair around the back, but it's still it's getting really thin.

00:10:11.07
Ricky: Hmm.

00:10:13.32
Flav: He should go short. in my opinion, and and shave it off like an e… Good old gentleman.

00:10:18.53
Ricky: What la- Bold, bold.

00:10:20.37
Flav: Yeah, he should. like that's what All granddads should have a big ball day, don't they?

00:13:12.87
Ricky: Because I messaged you at seven. say are we on for recording at half 10 when did you do the thumbs up

00:13:23.84
Ricky: did You too!

00:13:24.66
Flav: Yeah, I stayed in bed.

00:13:25.95
Ricky: Oh, fucking hell.

00:13:27.09
Flav: I've been sleeping so good.

00:13:27.12
Ricky: Why didn't I see that? Oh, is it the the weedy?

00:13:30.59
Flav: Yeah. It used to be the amitriptyline, that would make me sleep quite quite good.

00:13:31.67
Ricky: Okay.

00:13:34.48
Flav: But I looked it up online and it isn't healthy it's not not healthy sleep. it Any sleep's good, right? But it's not natural sleep.

00:13:39.61
Ricky: Yeah. 00:13:40.100 Flav It's sort of… encouraged to leap and it shuts down bits of your brain to allow your brain to rest and kick into gear so you sleep. So the sleep is constant, but apparently not as nourishing as a normal natural sleep, but which is what you get off cannabis oil. You know what I mean? It's like cannabinoids, the amount of health benefits. I'm not just…

00:13:58.80
Flav: From the drug itself, not just like smoking it.

00:14:00.09
Ricky: Mmm.

00:14:01.01
Flav: You know, there's risks involved in just puffing herb. all day. not least things like f throat cancer and that sort of stuff but also psychosis and anxiety brings on a lot right

Ricky: Yeah.

00:14:11.31

Flav: Yeah.

00:18:07.58
Ricky: this person would probably… appreciate a little a voice Switch up here.

00:18:12.22

00:18:13.64
Ricky: Yeah, go on

00:18:15.23
Flav: Bye. that It took them a while to realize I can't be arsed is a valid excuse for not doing something.

00:18:22.44
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:24.24
Flav: Why didn't you do it? I couldn't be asked. Right. Got to lose you there.

Ricky: yeah

00:18:38.55

00:18:43.04
Ricky: Yeah.

00:18:44.10
Flav: You've got to do it if we agree, because then it makes me think your word doesn't mean anything. So the response cannot be. I couldn't be arsed to do it. What if I couldn't be asked to go to work? And then I don't pay i could because I can't be asked to pay the mortgage.

00:18:58.07
Flav: And then. You would have left to be… Not arsed, sitting on the streets.

00:19:02.96
Ricky: that's That is… That is key, actually. Your word means nothing. Because… Same with the girls. You've got… Dinner.

00:19:14.04
Ricky: Half eaten dinner on the plate. Can you take it down, please? I don't want to express you in your room. I'll do it later Two hours later, i come back up. Still sitting there.

00:19:22.76
Flav: Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.

00:19:23.01
Ricky: I'm like, can you take it down? I said I'd do it later. Uh, excuse me?

00:19:27.54
Flav: Yeah.

00:19:27.92

00:19:35.32
Flav: Good.

00:19:36.61
Ricky: Go in the morning. It's still there Just this.

Flav: And it…

00:19:47.93

00:19:52.34
Ricky: Oh, right. Okay.

00:19:53.64

Ricky: Right, I get it. I get it. This is good.

00:19:59.45

Flav: I just can't be off.

00:20:13.53
Ricky: ah

00:20:14.66
Flav: But I get there in the end, Ricky, and now… I mean, it's still like… we we the the most recent thing would be The plates would come down, but they would come down to… the closest bit in the kitchen to the door they had to enter.

00:24:36.16
Ricky: What?

00:24:37.90
Flav: Everywhere there was… I think it might have been in the 50s, 60s, they installed the streetlights, right?

00:24:42.87
Ricky: Mmm.

00:24:43.33
Flav: And instead of LEDs, it didn't exist then. They used sodium lights. and Sodium lights at night. would glow orange. They'd come on.

00:24:49.56
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:51.01
Flav: Yeah, do you remember when they'd they'd… been on and then they went off and they went like purple and then they'd go. Do you remember that?

00:24:58.22
Ricky: Yes, yeah, yeah, I do.

00:24:59.44
Flav: Yeah, because they're sodium lights. But they gave everything this orange glow.

00:25:03.84
Ricky: Yeah.

00:25:04.05
Flav: which I forgot existed. So if you're walking home in the 90s… At night, under a sodium light, everything had this slight orange glow.

00:25:10.85
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:11.95
Flav: God made me so sort of like pine to be back there for a minute. even and wet.

00:25:15.40
Ricky: Right.

00:25:16.80
Flav: London Road like a residential road or my granddad's in Birmingham it reminded me of that And just the orange glow of the lights as you walked home. and and puddles on the floor it's like Oh but God, I've forgotten.

00:25:27.35
Ricky: Yeah.

00:25:28.80
Flav: that even happened

00:25:30.80

Flav: That song is hard to articulate why it…

00:25:45.56
Ricky: Yay.

00:25:46.15
Flav: It's the music that does it to you as well.

00:25:46.77
Ricky: Yeah.

00:25:47.37
Flav: It's like… The distant sound of kids playing in a playground.

00:25:50.98
Ricky: Yeah. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:51.97
Flav: Do you know what I mean? You can hear it.

00:29:25.37
Ricky: doing whatever. and then you've kind of got the like the leisure activity swimming pools and stuff like that But I couldn't do… A week, though. And some people do two weeks there. That's like their you know best a holiday.

00:29:39.37
Flav: Yeah.

00:29:39.84
Ricky: And that's fine. Um… other other families like camping There's someone that I used to work with. And they are like…

00:29:50.71
Ricky: 10 toes into camping. It's almost like they've got… a second home the size of their tent. all the cooking equipment and all that lot. every chance they get every half term and stuff like they're out camping And if you like that sort of thing, that's fine.

00:30:08.46
Ricky: I am. I don't really… I can't really do that type of shit.

00:30:17.07
Flav: No, it's not. I'm not really outdoorsy in that way either. to I wouldn't want to… I'd do it if there's like mushrooms involved probably. Uh… I wouldn't just… I wouldn't want to just like…

00:30:28.99
Flav: you know go out camping for the sake of it like alex and case do

00:30:32.22
Ricky: oh Good lord.

00:30:33.42
Flav: Uh. But is that… was that when When they say the Great British Getaway, it's… not it's it's It's what you do is ah as opposed to going. abroad, right? it

00:30:43.52
Ricky: Yeah.

00:30:43.93
Flav: was choosing to stay in England rather than than… than go abroad because they can't afford it or something like that.

00:30:49.20
Ricky: Yeah.

00:30:49.63
Flav: but If you had a choice, you definitely wouldn't stay in England if you had a choice to go on holiday, would you? No one would. Bless you.

00:30:55.08
Ricky: I don't know.

00:30:55.69
Flav: Too old to travel.

00:30:57.28
Ricky: ah Make me scared of flying. Maybe.

00:31:00.10
Flav: Yeah, we can get a drive it's like it It's about cost and it's about what they've… how how expensive everything's got. but

00:31:08.47
Ricky: So I've got a mate, right? And he is, I would say he's a tight ass. He's got loads of money, but he's a tight ass.

00:31:14.41
Flav: Yeah. Yeah.

00:31:16.69
Ricky: and every holiday every half term that they'll go to like a a nice ah static caravan. where it's got spa and stuff like that. He could easily go away abroad, but he just prefers to stay in England. And I'm like, fuck that. Like.

00:31:33.97
Ricky: um the the reason for this is like but obviously people are starting to have more holidays in England. ah because of the price of going abroad is so expensive. But when I compare the price of his holiday.

00:31:48.16
Ricky: in comparison to mine It's not. that dissimilar. i mean spain is a little bit more expensive but it's not mad expensive.

00:31:58.09
Flav: No, it still did. He's staying anywhere in… Staying anywhere in… um in England if you're staying over and you're not camping or you're staying at a holiday home. It's extortion. It's the same.

00:32:08.44
Flav: You're not really saving any money.

00:32:10.08
Ricky: No.

00:32:09.94
Flav: It's just convenience of it. I haven't holiday. or centre parks in in the UK. In fact, it's cheaper to do it in Europe. But the centre part is where my wife works. is It's… ah Mate, it's extortionate.

00:32:23.23
Flav: It's extortionately private.

00:32:23.39
Ricky: Mate, it's insane

00:32:24.77
Flav: is so overpriced and not worth the money. It's nice being there.

00:32:28.35
Ricky: Yeah.

00:32:28.78
Flav: It looks lovely. You know, you're in the middle of nowhere. You're away from all of like the complications of modern life. There's no cars. You have to get bikes everywhere. it's You're in the middle of… the forest, these incredible red pines.

00:32:38.92
Ricky: Yeah.

00:32:41.97
Flav: um which were hundreds of years old. But. you're paying an absolute fortune just to do it. So. You're probably better off doing an all-inclusive in Benidorm.

00:32:53.89
Flav: If you want me to.

00:32:53.93
Ricky: Yeah.

00:32:54.95

Flav: South of… Middlesbrough I've probably been to at some stage Uh…

00:40:11.35
Ricky: Hmm.

00:40:12.81
Flav: In terms of the rural parts of it, I've all over… Como? Colm was incredible. And if you're getting away in England, you're not going north, really, unless it's Peak District or… or it or its late districts, right?

00:40:23.80
Ricky: Yeah.

00:40:25.65
Flav: you know it's the lake district's beautiful as well to be fair but You're definitely going Southwest. Southwest is best. For sure. So yeah, most of the time. Most of Cornwall lived in churros. lived in Falmouth rather for three years when I was at uni as you know so Yeah, well-travelled in England, I'd say, far and wide.

00:40:43.20
Ricky: you When you were living in a Falmouth, were you living the kind of, how far is Falmouth? Is it next to the, but it is on the coast, right? Like you've got the beach there.

00:40:51.60
Flav: Yeah, if I must… Falmouth's like… South Coast. um It's like, you know, the leg of Britain.

00:40:58.56
Ricky: Mmm.

00:40:59.06
Flav: No very end of it.

00:41:00.83
Ricky: Yeah.

00:41:01.01
Flav: So about a centimeter to the right.

00:41:03.28
Ricky: Oh fuck.

00:41:03.89
Flav: Depends on the scale of your map you're looking at. Yeah, it's not far. It's like it's like then he goes to Truro and the next stop pretty much, the next main station is Penzance, right at the end, which is Land's End.

00:41:13.93
Ricky: Will you? Did you f throw yourself into that beach lifestyle?

00:41:17.62
Flav: Yeah, you know, when you're when you're that kid. Well, you're a kid. You assimilate quite quickly, didn't you? So, yeah, I very much was in baggy trousers and skater gear and beanie hats.

00:41:27.98
Ricky: Fuck.

00:41:28.15
Flav: And i used to go so well not I used to go out on a surfboard. I could never actually surf. Didn't get enough practice. but Yeah, he's quite into all that. Yeah, it's quality.

00:41:36.24
Ricky: Yeah.

00:41:36.31
Flav: The South Coast, South of Cornwall is amazing. like I know people that have moved. moved from London East London to go and live in Falmouth. um you know on the south coast because of just the difference in life and quality of life. and stuff that's available to you. It's amazing. Ready.

00:41:54.37
Ricky: My mum, she is going to Devon. on Sunday, She's going on a holiday there for two weeks.

00:42:01.84
Flav: What's she doing?

00:42:03.20
Ricky: Don't I? it's meaning about

00:42:04.27
Flav: Wait, wait, I mean… Is she staying in the house? or as it holds up.

00:42:07.18
Ricky: I think she's saying Airbnb.

00:42:10.11
Flav: Yeah.

00:42:10.28
Ricky: Um… But i yeah like you, I know a fair few people that have retired out that way. Um… and it might that i mean like there is that that lifestyle of you see a lot of people they go surfing first thing in the morning walk along the beach

00:42:25.27
Flav: Hmm.

00:42:26.87
Ricky: or even just cold water swimming.

00:42:30.34
Flav: we We like going down to Perranporth. We've done that three or four times now, me and the missus and the kids. Which is down in… um Down in Cornwall again.

00:42:40.15
Ricky: Yeah.

00:42:40.57
Flav: but it's this amazing place where it's just sort of cut out i think we talked about this but it's in mines and stuff and it's just it's just it's very is there's not much going on there there's a massive beach surfing and there's a couple of bars and And that's it. So it's like nice to get away down there.

00:42:57.59
Flav: That's like a a decent getaway, but still much rather go to Europe.

00:43:00.91
Ricky: Right, okay.

00:43:02.17
Flav: Yeah.

00:43:02.18
Ricky: That's fair. do I mean, like… Do you think? People are. deciding not to go abroad because going Going away in Europe is just a massive faff now.

00:43:14.69
Ricky: Like with. with ah Obviously the costs. Passports. Like… ah I saw this.

00:43:21.67
Flav: But… um you would You would only go to… but you' The only option you would give yourself is Spain, isn't it?

00:43:28.88
Ricky: Mmm.

00:43:29.92
Flav: Just spank, spank.

00:43:29.95
Ricky: Yeah. Spank.

00:43:31.55
Flav: that's about it

00:43:31.83
Ricky: if it doesn't start with an S I'm not going

00:43:32.34
Flav: So. Yeah, if you… Yeah, but like the question you're asking me is the question you should ask yourself. is like You're the one that chooses never to do this.

00:43:40.68
Ricky: No, no, no. ah So it's… The, oh right, okay, what so if I, it is going abroad. Too much of a faff for me.

00:43:49.39
Flav: Yeah, clearly not.

00:43:51.40
Ricky: It's not. but the I saw a… TikTok. maybe or instagram and it's this it was a poor woman who had been saving and saving and saving for her and her two kiddies to go away to Egypt.

00:44:10.18
Ricky: and she was counting down the days

00:44:12.24
Flav: Oh, saw this. This is so bad.

00:44:13.35
Ricky: Oh, fucking hell.

00:44:14.65
Flav: Go on, explain it, explain it.

00:44:15.93
Ricky: count down the days they're all getting ready all getting happy and then it was holiday day waking them up saying come on we're going on a holiday and then doing the steps going to the airport and stuff And then it cuts to her just.

00:44:29.26
Ricky: you know, mascara down the face, crying. broken hearted. holiday. is no longer And what had happened is. that her daughter's passport had run under three months.

00:44:43.62
Ricky: or something like that so in that there are different places and different countries have different regulations if your passport is about to expire ah for six months.

00:44:54.23
Ricky: you can You can travel up for until it's six months and then renew. but then other places in Europe, like Spain and stuff. is only three months. So I believe she was just shy of the three months.

00:45:07.44
Flav: Yeah, at that and… that That would… Yeah, I mean, that is that's a… Terrible thing. Why why is why is that the case? like why isn't it What's the point of a deadline if it isn't the deadline?

00:45:17.42
Ricky: Exactly.

00:45:18.10
Flav: expiry date. What is it? though What is the reason?

00:45:20.78
Ricky: I don't know.

00:45:22.97
Flav: Assistant.

00:45:23.16
Ricky: Surely should be, like… A month or whatever. Or even when it just expires.

00:45:26.59
Flav: but no it should be the day yeah yeah obviously that otherwise what what is

00:45:27.50
Ricky: Yeah, he did the day. yeah

00:45:31.31
Flav: is the point of the day. I can travel up until that day.

00:45:33.99
Ricky: yeah yeah yeah And… um my passports like mine my missus my kids they all ran out in june So I'm going to be renewing them in January, February.

00:45:47.30

Flav: Well, just…

00:45:48.50
Ricky: Fucking 100 quid each or something like that.

00:45:50.59
Flav: No, it's about £80, I think. uh it depends as well if there's a chat if you If it's if it's kids, they have to update their picture.

00:45:57.87
Ricky: Yeah.

00:45:58.26
Flav: It might be less than that. It might be about 65. It's not too bad. But why are you waiting until then instead of just doing it now? like what Why would you even… But say if there's a massive…

00:46:05.41
Ricky: Okay, sweet.

00:46:07.79
Flav: I don't know. like why Why January? Why this arbitrary date of waiting until January?

00:46:11.92
Ricky: because i mean i don't need to do it until so if it's june six months then december

00:46:17.81
Flav: So you're just putting it off because you don't want to do it.

00:46:19.84
Ricky: Yeah, pretty much.

00:46:20.55
Flav: Alright. Okay, fine.

00:46:21.19
Ricky: Well, I mean, I don't even need to need to do it then. I'm not going to be going and way away anywhere. it Why? Do you think in case I have an emergency holiday and I can't go?

00:46:29.35
Flav: oh no I'd imagine you would go away in August again, right?

00:46:33.37
Ricky: Yeah, yeah

00:46:34.60
Flav: Yeah, so but like what it sounded like you were going to wait until the last possible moment to… with New Year Possible.

00:46:41.19
Ricky: Right, okay, no, i no, no.

00:46:41.85
Flav: why And why not just do it now? like Everyone's the same, is it?

00:46:44.88
Ricky: Yeah, yeah.

00:46:46.06
Flav: you own All your passwords.

00:46:47.78
Ricky: Yeah.

00:46:49.07
Flav: At the same time. Oh, fucking hell, that is going to be quite dear.

00:46:49.85
Ricky: yeah Yeah, it's going to be fucking lumpy, isn't it?

00:46:52.59
Flav: Okay, well, did you all apply for your passports at the same time then?

00:46:54.95
Ricky: I think so.

00:46:55.86
Flav: I suppose the girls make sense, obviously, because you're probably taking them away to together.

00:46:56.30
Ricky: ah I think the girls are a month behind us.

00:47:01.02
Flav: ah Just the way it is.

00:47:01.53
Ricky: And that's just how it's happened.

00:47:03.12
Flav: Yeah.

00:47:03.67
Ricky: But that's the thing. It's like… That's going to cost… A lot of money. And then… travel insurance like when i went to um spain and i know i know this is self-infliction and you're like Who cares, mate?

00:47:18.08
Ricky: because you're or the one that's going on a holiday. But I think it's… part of why people are looking to do narrow boat holidays while they're doing treks in the peak district and the fucking lake district and stuff like that But when I went on holiday…

00:47:35.85
Ricky: ah just i hadn't even flown to spain yet and i'd already spent 250 quid

00:47:41.74
Flav: Yeah.

00:47:42.12
Ricky: Parking. Then we sat down for… Four pizzas, four drinks. 120 quid. good Then we got a couple of donuts.

00:47:49.06
Flav: Yeah.

00:47:51.12
Ricky: A couple of bottles of water. uh Couple of bags of sweets. And I'm not. How the. Fuck, has all of that cost so much? We're not even in Spain yet.

00:48:01.10
Flav: i um Do you think about money when you're on holiday?

00:48:04.39
Ricky: Um… I do. But I tend… to do this thing, any walk of my life, right? I am always thinking about money.

00:48:14.63
Ricky: and i'm like oh god how much i'm gonna call i've got you know working things out When I go on holiday, I try to shut. Turn that part of my brain off. and so we're on holiday Let's just put our card down And and ah just have a nice holiday together.

00:48:31.82
Ricky: and forget about any of that stuff. although it's it is like there are reminders why do you are you every time you're there like when you're putting your card down like is it

00:48:41.06
Flav: No, I'm never like that. That's my problem. i'd never have I never really think about… Yeah. uh running out of money and i do often and not not less so these days but in back in the back you know there'd be times where i'd spend all the money I'd just keep spending it until it was gone and I wouldn't think about any i anything.

00:48:57.82
Flav: And then it'd be gone. I'd be like… All right, when's payday? And then. And then I think about how I survived till payday. Uh, So that's why I don't have that brain. um And certainly not on holiday. I'm typically quiet.

00:49:11.75
Flav: Eat now. We have money put aside. That's how money is suspended as fast as possible.

00:49:16.91
Ricky: As fast as possible. I kind of do this. Where? i like this year airbnb and obviously been staying at my um grandparents' place.

00:49:29.72
Ricky: But it's always been, we're there for two weeks. Let's, you know. Key part. powder dry And if we do. go out for a meal and then we do like two or three.

00:49:43.15
Ricky: home-cooked meals and doing that kind of stuff to try and not spend as much money. But then when I'm out there. Me and my wrist are looking at each other like… Do you want to cook tonight? No, fucking, I'm on holiday.

00:49:53.73
Flav: Yeah. Yeah.

00:49:54.48
Ricky: She's like, do you want to cook? And I'm like, no, I'm on holiday. Right, let's go out. It's just like, fuck it, man. so

00:50:00.63

00:50:03.70
Ricky: Yeah! There is that.

00:50:05.33
Flav: Yeah, don't worry about it anymore. Splash out.

Ricky: We always choose to go away.

00:51:23.56
Flav: it's No, but you want different, don't you? that People go away because they want to change the scenery. They want to do different. they want like They want the process of getting on a plane or traveling.

00:51:30.84
Ricky: Sure.

Flav: they want All of that is a part of the experience of of getting away.

00:51:32.91
Ricky: Yeah.

Ricky: and you And you get really close to it. 00:53:49.100 Flav Hmm.

Flav: Yeah, it's not far

00:53:53.02
Ricky: Yeah, yeah.

00:53:53.53
Flav: Yeah, it's not far. ah um But I've driven past that. probably 500 times it's like But for me, it's just… Some stones.

00:54:01.97
Ricky: just stones.

00:54:03.04
Flav: yeah it's just those that you know how do they do that and then After, you you know, you're never going to know the answer. You're just like, all right. Whereas other people…

00:54:10.00
Ricky: After the second time. just stones

00:54:12.49
Flav: That's what I'm saying.

00:54:13.07
Ricky: Stines.

00:54:13.91
Flav: it's like iconic but

00:54:15.56
Ricky: Yeah.

00:54:16.07
Flav: It's on my doorstep, so…

00:54:18.33
Ricky: Yeah, right, okay. i am Okay, so this is, someone sent this in. about you know, the great British getaway. Okay. So the worst.

00:54:28.88
Ricky: great british getaway without a shadow of a doubt is sailing a canal boat on the Norfolk Broads. I did this for my brother Stag do. To paint the picture he's a bit of a nerd.

00:54:41.05
Ricky: and so are his pals so there is the the this disgusting little East Anglian wet dream. But to be honest, I thought it would be fun. We were going to get boozed and cruise around pub to pub, having a laugh and recreating the music video for.

00:54:56.90
Ricky: I'm on a boat. by Lonely Island. The reality is so different. For a start, it generally rains non-stop in Norfolk, so it's freezing. and you're wet.

00:55:08.56
Ricky: and cold. and stuck in a cabin. Secondly, and nobody tells you this But there are fucking speed limits. on the Norfolk Broads. These boats can go maybe eight miles per hour, I think.

00:55:22.08
Ricky: at top speed but you're not allowed to go faster than five miles per hour or something On the first evening I got told off by the river police twice for speeding and all you want to do is get to the next pub which seems impossible because you could literally wait there quicker.

00:55:39.38
Ricky: It gets so boring so quickly. We spent the first night on the boat trying to sleep and I lay there with my arms folded in a foul mood like Homer Simpson. Let me just put a picture of it. I reckon I got one hour. On the second day, we made it to… the two pubs. And I said, It was so shit and suggested that we abandon ship and go to Colchester or something.

00:56:02.15
Ricky: I persuaded the nerds and one sailed ah sailed it back to the port or wherever. and met us in town. We got the train. Everyone was so unhappy that even that was a struggle. So basically, don't do it. Waste of time. Felt like a torturous pub crawl where you had to walk in quicksand between each relief point. Stag do lasted just over half of the length it was meant to before everyone gave up.

00:56:28.37
Ricky: Don't speak to my brother so often anymore. And that was 15 years ago.

00:56:32.68
Flav: ah

00:56:34.35
Ricky: So. Norfolk Broads. It sounds alright, but I'd probably give it a miss. Okay. im We've got an answer for, we've got actually a reply for a dilemma.

00:56:46.17
Ricky: Something Only You Know is called… Do I know you? The topic for next week. Back in May we covered British serial killers. You guessed it. We're going to have a butchers at our cousins across the pond.

00:57:00.40
Ricky: Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer. John Wayne, is his name Gacy? Randy Stephen Croft, the scorecard killer. Wow

00:57:09.57
Flav: What are we doing, Rick?

00:57:11.35
Ricky: American serial killers.

00:57:12.78
Flav: Haven't we done serial killers?

00:57:14.08
Ricky: No we did British ones.

00:57:15.37
Flav: Oh, right. okay

00:57:16.61
Ricky: So we've got, yeah, we've got Ted Bundy. Jeffrey Dahmer, we didn't do those boys.

00:57:20.40
Flav: Okay.

00:57:21.08
Ricky: And they are like, listen to this.

00:57:22.81
Flav: Better. They're superstars.

00:57:23.28
Ricky: drugged right. tortured, murdered at least 16 young men.

00:57:25.04
Flav: Oh. All right.

00:57:28.24
Ricky: The Superstars.

00:57:28.42
Flav: It's always so awesome. Now compared to ours though.

00:57:29.57
Ricky: ah Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. they These are top tier. These are the real the real deal. I think ours are…

00:57:36.01
Flav: Yeah.

00:57:37.52
Ricky: you know impersonate is in comparison to them

00:57:39.80
Flav: Yeah.

00:57:40.49
Ricky: So if you've got anything that you want to send over for that. Send in to ladsanon .com Hold. at gmail .com and we will read them out.

00:57:48.96
Flav: Okay.

00:57:49.79
Ricky: ah the Do you remember the dilemma from last week?

00:57:52.93
Flav: No.

00:57:54.04
Ricky: So it was a gentleman who's one of the groomsmen. who is in a band and was going to try to sing at the wedding.

00:57:59.32
Flav: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah He won yeah he doesn't doesn't want him to sing, but he's kind of like tone deaf to the situation and he's going to sing and it'll be embarrassing.

00:58:07.05
Ricky: Yes, correct.

00:58:08.26
Flav: Does it happen?

00:58:08.35
Ricky: uh Thanks for the advice and for making me see the funny side of the situation. I've got an update if you're interested. Of course we are. My best man had a word with him and he believes he's now just recording a song for us.

00:58:23.88
Ricky: cringe, but better than a live performance. I still dread that he may try and get the DJ to play it on the night. So if he does, you might be getting a second part from me.

00:58:34.39
Ricky: Loving the pot lads.

00:58:35.72
Flav: Amazing.

00:58:36.69
Ricky: I mean, like if they did play it on. The DJ did sling it on. It just blends in with the rest of the music.

00:58:42.89
Flav: That's what I ended about.

00:58:43.68
Ricky: Not the end of the world.

00:58:44.10
Flav: Yeah.

00:58:44.81
Ricky: It's all right. You've got a a good, happy medium there. so ah

00:58:47.50
Flav: Yeah

00:58:48.16
Ricky: Nice one. Right, we're now going to go into.

00:58:57.43
Ricky: Do I know you? A few years ago one of my close friends announced that he was dating someone new. For the purpose of this story we'll call her Becky. He'd been single for a while so we were all overjoyed for him and excited to meet the new missus.

00:59:13.52
Ricky: I first met her on a double date with my girlfriend. Nothing fancy, just a meal out at the local restaurant. And. Becky was great fun. and immediately got on like a house on fire with both of us.

00:59:26.48
Ricky: For some reason though, I felt like I'd met her before. or at least Seen her somewhere? some subtle questioning into potential areas where we might have already know each other yielded no results so i just assumed she had one of those faces and dropped it A few months later… They are still going strong and I meet her a few more times. going getting on famously then one day i find myself with an afternoon home alone

00:59:55.54
Ricky: We all know what that means, so I open my laptop and decide to delve into my secret folder of filth that I've accumulated over the years. I'm going through the various subfolders taking my time and seeing what takes my fancy when I open one and suddenly freeze.

01:00:11.25
Ricky: is that No. It can't be. I open the photos and sure enough, it's Becky. posing provocatively in some lacy red lingerie. Holy shit.

01:00:25.02
Ricky: I scroll through a few more and although the attire changes In some cases, Disappears. It's definitely her. My mind's racing as I suddenly remember how…

01:00:37.10
Ricky: at the height of lockdown. i'd got into onlyfans and subscribed to a few choice channels including this one My hands were already busy at work and then I remembered there are videos personalized videos I'd commissioned from Becky back then, where she does a lot more than pose in little to no clothes.

01:00:58.61
Ricky: Without thinking I proceeded to spend the rest of the afternoon getting rid of all the poison in my body.

01:01:05.21
Flav: I thought he was going to say getting rid of all of the porn.

01:01:04.97
Ricky: I've never… just No.

01:01:09.09
Flav: No, get rid of Joel.

01:01:09.97
Ricky: This bitch is bashing it out. I've never told my mate or Becky or my now wife of the existence of this now prized folder. It's just my little treat to myself every now and then. so ah

01:01:26.62
Flav: Oh mate.

01:01:26.89
Ricky: Sadly, Becky seems to delete her OF account, so there's no fresh content or trace evidence of how she spent her lockdown. Only what I decided to save back in the day.

01:01:37.76
Ricky: And that. It's something only I know.

01:01:39.86
Flav: That is a bella.

01:01:41.10
Ricky: I mean, like, if you had found Like, I don't know, if you were watching a porn…

Flav: o

Ricky: and you saw your mate's missus, would you tell your mate?

01:01:53.13
Flav: No.

Ricky: Would you continue to… wait Now finding out, finding out it's your mates. Mrs. or wife. Would you continue? wank over her.

01:02:03.55
Flav: No.
