00:00:13.53
Ricky: Sure.

00:00:15.75
Flav: M &S have got a… Off-road at the moment.

00:00:20.14

00:00:37.73
Ricky: Jesus Christ!

00:00:39.51
Flav: Yeah. um Actually saying that. It sounds better than it is. The steak is £13 on its own, so you're paying a pound for some chips and… A bit of sauce. I've been done. anyway I messaged…

00:02:22.56
Ricky: Jesus.

00:02:24.33
Flav: No other changes though. I want you looking as you are. And I went, this is a bit much. And he went, sorry, I got a bit giddy. And I said, why are we like this?

00:05:53.56
Ricky: in America. ah On death row. I think it's like Tennessee or something like that.

00:05:59.97
Flav: yeah

00:06:00.10
Ricky: And ah they… She was going to be executed. Lethal injection. they They dosed her up two times and she still didn't die.

00:06:11.57
Flav: How?

00:06:11.84
Ricky: Shit, I ain't going. Make me go.

00:06:13.72
Flav: Yeah. what What are you going to do?

00:06:15.80
Ricky: What are you gonna do?

00:06:16.73
Flav: ah who What's she on for?

00:06:19.12
Ricky: I think she killed… A class mate. So she's been in there for years.

00:06:25.76
Flav: Uh. Why don't they, if they get death row, they just do it next week, the week after. Why'd they have to stay on death row for years?

00:06:31.21
Ricky: Yeah I know I don't get that either. Maybe it's that's part of the punishment. That you're in the worst conditions for as long as possible. And then. We kill you.

00:06:42.25
Flav: Why do people… stay on def That is…

00:06:48.06
Flav: That's scary mate.

00:06:49.27
Ricky: What?

00:06:50.78
Flav: I just put wider people. And the first thing is, why do people stay on death row for so long?

00:06:55.60
Ricky: Oh god.

00:06:57.34
Flav: I didn't even… That's all I… told That's all I type. Why do people stay on death row for it? Definitely listening.

00:07:05.99
Flav: People spend years or even decades on death row, primarily due to the complex, multi-layered appeals process required to ensure constitutional reliability before an irreversible execution.

00:07:15.75
Ricky: Yeah, I mean, ah and it's where I'm kind of like… If they're going to do it, leave an injection. It's a really terrible way to die.

00:07:24.49
Flav: That's it.

00:07:24.46
Ricky: And like this like like like this lady… itch They've dosed her up twice and she still ain't out. I think she's in intensive care now. Like what's going to happen?

00:07:35.35
Flav: Here's the lethal injection. Painful.

00:07:40.32
Ricky: Electrocution. Like…

00:07:42.02
Flav: That's the way I'd go.

00:07:43.02
Ricky: yeah Yeah, well, I mean, I think probably… If you're going to go and you want it quick. Just… 7, 8, 8.

00:07:52.16
Flav: Fucking hell, man. so Significant evidence and medical reviews indicate that lethal injection can cause… can cause severe pain, physical distress and sense of suffocating.

00:08:01.39
Ricky: oh

00:08:02.12
Flav: Why? What? Is it important? to make them suffer in their death. isn't just not existing enough. ah had Do you agree with a death penalty?

00:08:13.92
Ricky: Well, i yeah on I think I was chatting about this on Quickie Ricky during the week. And. Because we don't last week's.

Flav: Because he gets… and He gets a… He gets… some

00:14:24.25
Flav: He draws a pension down. You're taxed on your pension. That's what it is.

00:14:26.28
Ricky: Yeah.

00:14:27.15
Flav: Um, And he goes, I don't understand why I should be taxed on my pension. It's my pension. I paid into it.

00:14:32.86
Ricky: Yeah.

00:14:33.46
Flav: And the reason why you get taxed on your pension. is when you're creating a pension when you're paying into it. That part isn't taxed. So when you're, you know, when you're… You know when your company goes, right you you put in 200 of your salary and we'll match that.

00:14:46.53
Ricky: Yeah.

00:14:47.58
Flav: with 200.

00:14:48.47
Ricky: Yeah.

00:15:00.95
Ricky: Kindness to the heart.

00:15:09.56
Ricky: Yeah.

00:15:09.77
Flav: Right. So. Every time they match your salary, all they're doing is reducing the corporation tax bill. and sending the money into your pension, which is a good thing.

00:15:18.17
Ricky: Yeah.

00:15:18.67
Flav: but it's see Do you see this there's a tax loss to your government?

Flav: Yeah, ah he just said he's never eaten them. from a takeaway an Indian takeaway so said it doesn't make any sense it's like If you… were Bye-bye. It just doesn't make sense to me.

00:55:34.03
Ricky: yeah I think if I was ordering out takeaway. Indian would be bottom for me.

00:55:39.100
Flav: Is that because you've experienced proper Indian food from your…

00:55:42.64
Ricky: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:44.12
Flav: The only, the only… The only… I agree with you. And the only reason I can do that is because… Um, Bye. for our… anniversary once I took ollie to one of the highest rated indian restaurants in London, it was in Marylebone.

00:55:59.37
Ricky: Oh.

00:55:59.92
Flav: Fucking spendy is well expensive, but…

00:56:02.08
Ricky: Shit.

00:56:03.79
Flav: and the food the food wasn't. what it was different it was It wasn't. I don't even think the word curry appeared on the ah menu. It wasn't.

00:56:12.18
Ricky: Wow. Okay.

00:56:12.83
Flav: nothing like that. It was it was insane.

00:56:13.80
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:56:14.88
Flav: and And a sort of more affordable version of that would be like Dishoom, which is like a hybrid. But that isn't like, you don't get caught calmer at the Shoom, right?

00:56:21.90
Ricky: No.

00:56:21.95
Flav: You don't. So, yeah no, I understand what you mean. is that But that's not what you get from the takeaway, is it?

00:56:28.09
Ricky: No.

00:56:29.55
Flav: I know this show is not about takeaways, but…

00:56:29.52
Ricky: It's like… No, it's it's like a… sweetened Preserve is…

00:56:37.67
Flav: ah Shit.

00:56:37.87
Ricky: ah food coloring. It is.

00:56:40.07
Flav: I'm not bothered.

00:56:41.11
Ricky: Slop.

00:56:42.29
Flav: Yeah, i'd I'd put… I'd probably put… um i' proof it I put… curry. Just above. Chinese.

00:56:50.44
Ricky: ah Yeah, for me, it's ah it is pretty low down. And the thing is, and like I'm not disrespecting. like I'm just more inquisitive. And i feel I feel like this is about Italian food as well.

00:57:00.44
Flav: Mm.

00:57:00.65
Ricky: Um, Like with Indian, you've got Balty. jalfrezi and madras and it's like well what's the difference bolti you don't have garam masala but you have all everything else that jalfrezi has like Can you really taste the difference?

00:57:14.83
Flav: Probably not.

00:57:15.12
Ricky: This one has… ah Two tablespoons of… cumin that one has one but they're different names. Some of what I… don't ah Same with like a…

00:57:23.93
Flav: But you can taste a different…

00:57:24.57
Ricky: attack ta

00:57:25.58
Flav: i think it tastes different from like a passander And a korma. You can taste the difference in there.

00:57:29.40
Ricky: Yeah, you can. But like, I'm just…

00:57:31.56
Flav: All right. I think in terms of the tastiest dish you can get from an Indian. For me. Pasanda is the tastiest. The one I enjoy the taste of most, I think.

00:57:42.22
Ricky: Hmm.

00:57:45.22
Ricky: Yeah.

00:57:46.74
Flav: But… It doesn't have any kind of kick to it. so Yeah. I kind of feel like you… you're not doing it properly unless it has a little bit of a kick

00:57:55.04
Ricky: Yeah, you do need a bit of a…

00:57:56.05
Flav: It's something.

00:57:56.37
Ricky: a punch.

00:57:57.57
Flav: And I think we've talked before, didn't I? I can't eat a madras or I can't eat a vindaloo. I like it. cannot my body work just goes mental I'm like these people that end up shaking on the bed after they've eaten a chilli.

00:58:09.68
Ricky: Yeah.

00:58:09.65
Flav: That would be what would happen to me if I did. So I'm not in any way being macho, but I just think that… It's a waste of time having a Passandra or a Cobra.

00:58:17.80
Ricky: Yeah, it is a bit.

00:58:18.70
Flav: Do you agree?

00:58:18.92
Ricky: Yeah, I mean, that's… for the children.

00:58:21.94
Flav: Yeah. What, what?

00:58:22.39
Ricky: if you're going out and

00:58:23.06
Flav: What's your, did um we might tell what do you what did you choose?

00:58:26.12
Ricky: Well, I mean, I regularly have a madras

00:58:30.40
Flav: Oh, so you like the…

00:58:31.50
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do like… to know that I've eaten a curry. But then again, it's like…

00:58:36.92
Flav: but But how much do you know? how What's the impact?

00:58:40.50
Ricky: I don't want it to be so much that I'm struggling to eat it. But I want to…

00:58:44.23
Flav: Mattresses. What's… but That madrasa's… What, is it second? Did you say it's second to Vindaloo in terms of heat? And then you've got… at all. No, not at all.

00:58:53.54
Ricky: fall.

00:58:54.24
Flav: Fall, that's right.

00:58:54.87
Ricky: Yeah.

00:58:55.74
Flav: Ollie made an incredible doll. Uh… That's all it was. It was it' like a soup. It was like a soup with lentils.

00:59:02.77
Ricky: Yeah.

00:59:04.05
Flav: um when I was really ill on on Monday. And we just sat and ate the dhal and she made… Cheese toasties. We've… Um, onions caramelized in mango in the In the toasty.

00:59:52.90
Flav: Do you know what they called it? It's called Dog Packet. ah

01:00:34.07
Flav: Nobovell.

01:00:34.20
Ricky: again no it's just I remember… like

01:00:37.40
Flav: Mrs. doesn't like it.

01:00:38.46
Ricky: My mum and I, we used to go out. Once a month. to catch up. But we'd had this thing where we'd go out to a restaurant, had to be an independent restaurant in Milton Keynes, surrounding area. And we'd be trying different cuisines and someone's…

01:00:50.59
Flav: That's good. That's a good idea.

01:00:51.87
Ricky: Someone of that died. about four years ago.

01:00:54.50
Flav: Ah.

01:00:55.06
Ricky: Yeah. um But we did go to quite a few places actually, probably went to about 15, 20 places. Got recommended a Thai restaurant, space to be the best. I went there and I was like, I was just angry.

01:01:08.01
Ricky: eating it that's just like why is there peanuts nothing about everywhere like i'm just like i just want a bit of chicken while but why if i want it dry roasted i'll wait till christmas and have it right

01:01:21.72
Ricky: Yeah.

01:01:22.65
Flav: Uh…

01:01:22.74
Ricky: And I think I kind of felt like it was going to be like Chinese or something like that. It's completely different. And obviously I'm an idiot.

01:01:28.94
Flav: Oh, so that's what you was expecting?

01:01:29.08
Ricky: you I'm an idiot. ah Yeah, I'm an idiot. But you know when you've got a preconceived, like, oh, it'll be like sit like noodles, like Chinese or whatever. And it was just. totally different and I wasn't ready for it.

01:01:38.51
Flav: The noodles are sort of flat on me. i really I really like it. like Ty would probably go above. It'd be my top one out a lot so far

01:01:48.90
Ricky: Are you fucking kidding me?

01:01:50.37
Flav: Apart from Italian, which is number one for me. Well, actually, number one, probably. ah

01:02:40.40
Flav: Specifically the burrito.

01:02:42.22
Ricky: Right.

01:02:42.37
Flav: Where everybody… absolutely seems to adore them. And I eat them every time. And and like, obviously I'm not. I'm not the first person to judge because I'm I'm a vegetarian.

01:02:52.56
Ricky: Gee.

01:02:53.08
Flav: but you

01:02:53.32

01:02:57.09
Ricky: Yeah. Um…

01:03:01.51

01:03:09.24
Ricky: Uh, Cheeky eyes?

01:03:11.35
Flav: Yeah, maybe one of those, I don't know.

01:04:17.62
Ricky: Right, okay, yeah, that's good.

Ricky: Hmm.

01:05:13.24
Flav: Middle Eastern food.

01:05:14.17
Ricky: You know.

01:05:17.68
Ricky: He knows bull. Yeah.

01:05:19.45
Flav: And again, that's not even having the delights of the the meats, which is central to all of it.

01:14:39.97
Ricky: I asked what the local cuisine was. fried pig's ear ah was the dish apparently after many years of watching rick stein's food programs i was in the mood to try something new perhaps with a glass of wine.

01:14:47.11
Flav: Okay.

01:14:54.46
Ricky: The dish turned up and it looked as bad as you can imagine. Each sliver of ear had multiple layers of piggy consistency, starting with hair.

01:15:02.64
Flav: Ugh.

01:15:04.00
Ricky: then skin. then fa. Then meet. then gristle and then a sliver of bone in the center of jesus christ imagine a cold soggy smelly wet pork scratching And you're not even close to the horror that entered my mouth. It was quite simply the most disgusting thing I've ever tried. But the wine was fucking delicious.

01:15:27.02
Ricky: I mean…

01:15:29.53
Flav: um

01:15:29.06
Ricky: I'm up for trying stuff.

01:15:30.79

Flav: Fucking waste of time.

01:16:42.46
Ricky: right okay that have you got any more uh anything else food wise that you want to um so we know the champion The champion is…

01:16:50.77
Flav: Middle East.

01:17:00.05
Flav: Yeah.

01:17:00.64
Ricky: Right, we're going to go into something only you know. The topic, there's something only you know, it's called tie dye. The topic for next week. is adulthood.

01:17:11.40
Ricky: The government published major new research on voting at 16. as part of work around extending voting rights to 16, 17 year olds. But we're going to chat.

01:17:22.57
Ricky: When are you actually an adult? Were you trustworthy at 16, 17? What do you think you understood at that age to how you look at it now?

01:17:26.99
Flav: Hmm.

01:17:31.34
Ricky: What makes somebody an adult?

01:17:34.31
Flav: Yeah.

01:17:34.11
Ricky: Age. earning money. Leaving home, becoming a parent. or simply taking responsibility when things go wrong.

01:17:41.91
Flav: 16 year olds shouldn't be able to vote. I don't even think most 18 year olds should be able to vote. They're all morons at eight.

01:17:47.73
Ricky: I have ah picked this topic. With… yourself in mind.

01:17:53.14
Flav: Morons. I've got two of them at home.

01:17:54.45
Ricky: I know.

01:17:57.86
Ricky: But I think.

01:17:58.09
Flav: I know exactly what they are.

01:17:59.21
Ricky: And the thing is as well, when I was 16, 17, like in pubs and stuff, I shouldn't have been able to do stuff at 18, to be fair.

01:18:06.77
Flav: Like they're saying Like you said, oh you can have sex.

01:18:10.77
Ricky: Hmm.

01:18:12.67
Flav: Or you can go to war. i think can you you can't go to war at 16.

01:18:14.35
Ricky: Yeah.

01:18:15.91
Flav: can you join the army at 16. i'm not sure if you can

01:18:17.58
Ricky: ah They'd probably overlook that anyway.

01:18:20.34
Flav: Um.

01:18:20.41
Ricky: Get him in there.

01:18:21.89
Flav: Yeah, that… It would be. Chaos. if not 16 rows. Imagine if all 16 year olds mobilised. and voted.

01:18:32.06
Flav: In fact, we'll have the Green Party in probably.

01:18:32.86
Ricky: Go. Yeah. Or that bin face, because it'd be Bantz.

01:18:38.77
Flav: Yeah.

01:18:39.77
Ricky: Exactly.

01:18:40.77
Flav: What did she do? What have you thought of Andy Burnham so far?

01:18:45.22
Ricky: What, put me personally?

01:18:46.83
Flav: Yeah.

01:18:47.35
Ricky: I like what he's doing. But it's whether it's delivered or not.

01:18:50.54
Flav: Uh, uh…

01:18:51.54
Ricky: I like what you're saying. i like ah I liked Burnham before he even got into power because working at my previous role, he was very much a central figure in Manchester and he wanted ah devolved power.

01:19:07.40
Ricky: as in the money goes into Manchester and they look after their own.

01:19:11.96
Flav: Yeah

01:19:11.100
Ricky: transport system and and everything else. So he really wanted. He really wanted to put the North on the map. And he was so passionate about it. I thought, do you know what? I respect him for that.

01:19:23.08
Ricky: so And that was years ago, so I'm not going to…

01:19:25.94
Flav: No, i've been I've been quietly impressed. by what you say.

01:19:30.02
Ricky: Mmm.

01:19:30.97
Flav: Anyway, let's get on with this.

01:19:31.20
Ricky: Yeah. Right. Okay, ah something only only you know is…

01:19:43.83
Ricky: Tie-dye. This happened in 2012. I was an IT project manager in London and had an important meeting with IBM on the Friday. Unfortunately, I'd had a colonoscopy the day before. After a bowel prep involving no food, liters of water, strong laxatives and about 20 shits.

01:20:02.90
Ricky: The consultant warned me things might take a few days to normalize, but I felt. better on Friday. Halfway through the meeting I needed the toilet. I wanted to check there was no blood.

01:20:15.91
Ricky: So I caught my first bit of business in some toilet paper. Everything looked fine. But as I reach behind to drop it into the pan. I somehow dropped it.

01:20:27.95
Ricky: The turd landed directly on my trousers and my shoes.

01:20:30.53
Flav: ah That's fucking disgusting.

01:20:32.01
Ricky: I panicked, tried to clean it up somehow and made everything worse. Trousers, socks, laces, hands. floor. Thankfully the office was nearly empty so I stripped off in the cubicle, washed everything in the sink and dried it under a hand dryer.

01:20:48.39
Ricky: i thought i'd recovered the situation until i noticed a massive smear of shit across my tie I binned it and returned to the meeting. My boss looked at me and said,

01:20:59.34
Ricky: Why aren't you wearing a tie? I shrugged and carried on. And what happened to me. And my tie on that Friday. is something only I know.

01:21:10.09
Flav: That is disgusting.

01:21:11.05
Ricky: That is disgusting. Like… I don't know about you, but… if you work lot For me, like I've seen a lot of few people that are ah checking if they've got blood in their stool.

01:21:22.43
Ricky: And. Like catching the turd. I'm not… a

01:21:26.41
Flav: No, you don't.

01:21:27.05
Ricky: The…

01:21:27.10
Flav: No one catches the turd, mate.

01:21:28.23
Ricky: No, I've heard heard a few people.

01:21:29.83
Flav: look You just look in the pan.

01:21:31.67
Ricky: I mean, I've got a… ah Because obviously you know about my…

01:21:34.34
Flav: You've been catching the Ted.

01:21:35.16
Ricky: My guts? No, I never… kind You think I can catch my ones? You tried to catch Cowpat. It wouldn't go well. What I do is I have a ah landing pad.

01:21:46.18
Ricky: And so it's toilet paper at the bottom of the pan in the water. So before the turd goes into the water and disappears it lands on the tissue. at the top and you can see whether there's you know any mucus or blood or anything like that so instead of catching the turd Try the landing pads.

01:22:05.41
Flav: You don't have to always worry if you've got blood on the tissue because if you go for a long walk… The arsehole

01:22:12.52
Ricky: Yeah.

01:22:13.78
Flav: goes up and down on and and chafes.

01:22:16.08
Ricky: Yeah. And that's… that's So that the bleeding anus is…

01:22:20.65
Flav: if you're on a long walk.

01:22:20.81
Ricky: Long walks. Okay. That's good.

01:22:24.25
Flav: Hmm.

01:22:24.26
Ricky: I think we'll ah leave the podcast and… on there. And the topic for next week is. Adulthood. Send anything you've got to ladsanon.

01:22:35.29
