Starting point is 00:00:00 Greetings, listener dear, I'm Tom. I'm Ben, and I am Matthew and welcome to another exciting episode of Papi's flat share beef brothers cold cuts. Yes, as always, we have an esteemed colleague or guest, and we solve the beef of our listener deers. Can I ask Tom, when you say esteemed colleague or guest, what's the distinction you're making in your mind if there is anything? I hate to pick you up early doors, but I'm really excited to know which category today's person falls into because they're either a guest.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I don't think we, I think this guy is properly comedy royalty. So I think for us to call him a colleague even, we're not a peer, we're not colleagues of his, he is a legend and he is definitely our guest. Yeah, it's Michael Fenton Stevens, the brilliant Michael Fenton Stevens, from Radioactive, from KYTV, from Only Falls and Horses,
Starting point is 00:01:01 he is, he's just such a delightful man, a brilliant, brilliant guy. And if you haven't heard his podcast, my time capsule, it's really brilliant. And we'll leave a link to it in the show notes. And what else is there to say? Oh, just to say, I mean, apologies to people who've been sending us messages now. The Christmas show and the, yeah, apologies to all our colleagues and sending us messages now. The Christmas show. And the yes, yeah, apologies to all our colleagues. And some of our guests, the Christmas show and the show before the Christmas show,
Starting point is 00:01:31 they're all sold out now. If you want to get tickets, I would say the best way to do it is to just watch our Twitter, a Pappy's comedy. If you go to Twitter and look at our Twitter, like around the days leading up to it, because people always say, I can't do it on the day or they get sick or whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:51 So go along to, so we're not at Pappy's comedy on Twitter, we're at Pappy's tweet. Yeah, go to our Twitter, which is at Pappy's tweet, and we will be retweeting anybody who's said that they can't come along, and you can probably sort out tickets that way. That's the way to do it, or to join the waiting list on event bright, which will alert you if anybody can't do it and gets a refund. Oh, get a job at the Phoenix working as bar staff.
Starting point is 00:02:16 That's a really good point. Get a job at the Phoenix. You know what as well, I adore the Phoenix, but a couple more bar staff wouldn't go amiss, especially in the downstairs bar, especially when it's busy. So yeah, get yourself a job at the Phoenix guys. I'm sure they're hiring. Phoenix Camden Dish Square, I think it's, I think it's inquiries at phoenixcamden Dish Square dot codeyuk, but you could look it up yourselves,
Starting point is 00:02:42 get yourself a job down there and join the fun. One of the best seats in the house behind the bar. Oh, it's lovely. It's where the booze is certainly. So that's not bad thing. Yeah, so that's all sold out there and that is pretty much that for flat slams in 2023. What a year it was. What a year.
Starting point is 00:03:03 It's not getting to the end of year. Let's not get into the end of year of year. Let's not get misty-eyed and nostalgic about the year. Let's just look ahead. Sorry. Oh yeah. Let's just look at the finishing line and just thought, God's yeah. My natural broadcasting instincts kicked in.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Just thought, yeah, let's review the year right here right now. You've got to. You've got to. What have been your magic moments? Every episode from October onwards, it's going to be our review of the year. It's a giant cycle switch from to a gal. You're going to do it, Clarky, you're going to do it, mate.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I believe in you. Come on, come on. Any chance I can switch from a guest to a colleague? Come on. Here we go. Let's hear it, Clarky, you're going to do it, mate. I believe in you, come on, come on. Any chance I can fast switch from a guest to a colleague, come on. Yes, here we go. Let's hear it from Clarky. We'll get this. Guys, we're going to get this colleague to a guest. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:54 That was my... I love the year, that was. Thanks for being late. I'm going to tie any 23-year bastard. Fine. Anyway, let's crack on with this beef, brothers, cold cuts episode. Just tighten that up in the edit if we could.
Starting point is 00:04:11 There's a problem with recording the intros after we've recorded the whole episode. We're Nackad, just enjoy the episode. Bye. Well, if you've got a problem, I'm calling a problem, if you've got a problem, call a bee. If you've got a B, maybe we can help you be from the sorting I can be. So Mike, we've got to ask you, before we get into the business of solving other people's
Starting point is 00:04:34 beefs, what sort of a person are you to live with? Well, I think I'm a very good person to live with. I'm quite malleable, which is good, isn't it? I've done that particular about things., which is good, isn't it? I've done that particular about things. That makes a difference, isn't it? If you're one of those people who just goes, no, we have to do it now. I always watch this program and I always watch it in this chair. I'm not the dad from the Royal family who sat there and went, you know, this is what I watch and this is my chair. Now Now I'm very movable in my life. And I'm almost like a piece of furniture.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Very much like a piece of furniture, yes. And almost as interesting. I sort of entertain myself as well actually. I'm quite happy to sort of something my father used to do, sit in the kitchen while my wife watches the television program, she wants to watch. Now you think, get another tele. Yeah. But actually, I'm sort of relieved by the fact that she says, well, I'm watching MasterChef, and I go,
Starting point is 00:05:39 I don't want to watch MasterChef. Why would I want to watch that? Why do you rely on their taste buds? That's what I always say to her. Why would I want to watch that? Why do you rely on their taste buds? That's what I always say to her. Why would you trust their taste buds? If you could taste it, I could understand you watching Master Chef, because you'll get to the end of it. Everybody tastes a bit and goes, they're the best.
Starting point is 00:05:57 But you're not, you're relying on somebody else to taste it and go, well, that is fantastic. Oh, my word. So do you go the kitchen and just taste everything in the kitchen? I just can't. I know my own food. I'm gonna taste, I'm not trusting him. You know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:12 So what I do is I do master beer drinker, the competition. Oh, there's no downsellers to test that out. And make my own bloody decision. So I don't need John Terrode to tell me what to drink. Thank you very much. But now I think I'm all right. I do snore, obviously.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's a lot. My wife has suffered that for many years. Have you been together for a long time, your wife, and yourself? A long, long time. So what are the phases? This is my wife and I in the kind of the first phase of her realizing how bad a snorer I am. And so we're are in the kind of the first phase of her realising how about a snorer I am. And so we're still at the kind of waking up phase where she wakes
Starting point is 00:06:50 me up, cross, and I have to try and defend myself for something I haven't chosen to do. You know, you can defend yourself. You wake up on the back foot being like, I didn't know. I'm just wondering, are there more phases? Like, have you gone through that phase? Yeah, there is a room of, of, fuck off to another room. Right, I've got that to look forward to. I've got that to look forward to. Fuck off back down to the kitchen and have some more beer.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's, it's, it's stop drinking beer and farting and snoring. That's the three favourite things to do. I mean, I think that actually you can't possibly last that long without somebody's, you know, you being able to put up with the faults of the other person because everybody has that, you know, so she does put up with it. But maybe she does because there's not, I have never had a workman come in here and decorate this house. Not in my entire years, years and years we've been married for getting on for 45 years now, my wife and I, and I've always decorated
Starting point is 00:07:56 the house. Is that because you don't just around work, men? I'm not paying someone to move the paintbrush up and down. Surely anybody can do that. And I do it. And I have to say, I did it really, really badly. The only time my wife ever decorated our house was just after we bought our first house. I live in Tumberidge Wells and we were house hunting
Starting point is 00:08:19 in all over London, looking for somebody to live. And with the house prices were ridiculous. I'm going to make you really angry now. I was so ridiculous. I mean, we couldn't afford anything over 30,000. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. It's a positive day. I love it. You know, and so I then we went to visit a friend out near where I live in Tumberidge Wells and he took us to dinner in a house in Tumberidge Wells and we were talking about this quandary and the man we were having dinner with said, well, this house is on the market and we said, how much is it?
Starting point is 00:08:55 And he said 27. No. And my wife said, we'll take it. And I said, don't you think we should look around first? Honestly, genuinely. And so we did look around this house, discovered it had two more floors than we thought. It was a townhouse.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Oh, what? And I... It's been great having you on the podcast. I'm sorry, Mike. Thanks for having my list. It's been a real pleasure. Shall we talk about the other advantages of having been old and... About the fact that my pension is... It's, you know, triple locked. That's triple locked. It's just really make you upset.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Anyway, we did buy it. We bought it for 27.5,000 pounds. Wow. About three weeks later, I did a commercial for Guinness and they paid me 22,000 pounds. So you imagine how much that would be worth now. Unbelievable. And then I went to Australia on tour. And when I came back, my wife, I just
Starting point is 00:09:51 days after we'd moved to this house, all the things were in boxes all over the house. And I said, bye then. And I went to Australia for three months. And when I got back, she'd sorted all the boxes out. It's fantastic and had painted almost the entire house move Wow immediately devaluing it
Starting point is 00:10:13 Making it worth no more than 25 Did she miss here you when you said you may be in and I'll just I'll go to Australia Yeah And I'll just, I'll go to Australia. It is my remnant. I think she did it so that she would never have to decorate again, which has been the case. Why is woman or a kind of blind woman we don't have? No, one or the other. It was a strange house we moved into. These people had this, there was, the person who owned it before was a carnig Carnegie. And I said, a member of the Carnegie family, jokingly, and he went, yeah, yeah, I am actually. I mean, I really was sort of
Starting point is 00:10:53 a minor member. And he went, well, you know, I mean, I've never worked. I'm an artist. I said, right, have you two paint? No, no. Are you an artist? He said, well, have you paint? No, no. Are you an artist? He said, well, sort of, yeah. I mean, I don't like it. I've got a lifestyle. And he showed me one of his paint. He was a terrible painter.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Couldn't paint for a trophy. But every now and again, he would get an inheritance. Wow. Some bitty somewhere in the Carnegie family would pass on. And he'd be left some vases or something and they'd be worth a fortune And that's how he lived when somebody walks through your front door They're walking into what used to be the Carnegie Hall How do you get to the Carnegie Hall?
Starting point is 00:11:38 Practice Or move into one of the people's house Yeah. Or moving to one of the people's houses. From the Sonic I Am Beef! Shall we solve some beef? Shall we start solving some beef? Let's do it. Tom.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Hello. I believe you've got the first one for today. I have indeed. This is a... Oh, hello. This is great title. Domestic Sonic Beef from Charlie. Dear brief brothers and undoubtedly my favourite ever guest.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I don't mind that. Charlie's got a silver tongue. I present you a small niggle of a beef but I hope you can relate. My wife and I share a sonic toothbrush. Oh, um. Before we go any further, eh, yes we're doing pretty well thanks. And b, we have two different toothbrush heads and share the one sonic engine. Now are we imagining that there's two heads that attach at the same time at either end and they just have to brush their teeth with their arms around each other? In a romantic way. The couple that brushes together stays together.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Like the end of Requiem for a Dream only sweet. Oh yes, yeah. My beef is that without fail every night, my wife will try and talk to me about the news and tributes from the day. As soon as I have placed the toothbrush in my mouth, adjusted the settings accordingly and started the brushing process. Now a sonic toothbrush is loud when it is in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Certainly to the point that I can barely hear anything else. So therefore what should be a two minute process, 30 seconds on each quadrant. Takes over five minutes if you have to pause and restart the brush over and over again to listen to and answer each moment all question from the day that you think you have heard over the worrying of the engine. How do I get my wife to realise that these two minutes are no talk zones and that I'm ready to be an excited and engaged husband as soon as this nightly ritual is complete. Yours in beef's charlie. My wife's got the solution, which is fucked up to another room. Pay the toothbrush move.
Starting point is 00:14:04 No, I don, oh my. Go ahead and have a beer. Have you got, so who here has a Sonic toothbrush? Well, I know Michael, you bought a Sonic toothbrush in 1973 for eight pens, didn't you? LAUGHTER It's still that it's a fantastic, increased in value, see?
Starting point is 00:14:19 But Sonic got a lot of research on it. I think everybody over there in the early 60 was given shares in something. I don't know why they just gave it to us as a present. You probably didn't want to. I did on the value yet. I'm sure a little bit. I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Is a Sonic toothbrush? Is that one of those ones that buzzes so fast that it's supposed to knock the plaque off? Is that what a Sonic toothbrush is? Imagine. I don't, I've never heard of a sonic tooth. I think I might have one. I think you've got one.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I think Ben, yeah. Have you? I think Ben's got one and I think my wife has one. I can't use them because they are, they're like those, they're gonna go, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Rocked in like an electric one that goes, go, it's like more of a,
Starting point is 00:15:04 woo, woo, woo, yeah. Rather than like an electric one that goes, it's like more of a woohoo! And there's like an intense tiny vibration to them. Well, clearly, the vibration's so intense, it just rattles the memory of it out of my brain. It's clearly causing you some kind of damage. Is that the kind of toothbrush you have, Clarky? Yeah, that's the vibe. Do you understand what it's like to experience the Charlie in terms of you verify what he says about hearing and the focus that it takes when you're using it?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Well, I will say that actually Megan has like an adversion to people scrubbing the teeth. It goes right through her the sound of it. So she'll be as far away like if it comes out. That's why she fell in love with you. Isn't it? She found out you heard the rumours about your oral hygiene. I thought this is the guy for me. Whereas the halo sound of a So she's been called it's like a siren call Yeah, so she gets as far away from me as possible whenever I'm scoffing my teeth Or whenever I'm talking I do hope that these sim that they've thought of That you get other children's versions of Sonic? There must be surely, with Sonic the Hedgehog. Yeah, you'd think so.
Starting point is 00:16:32 The Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic toothbrush. There must be. I wonder if it's just too, I mean, I don't know what I'm talking about here, but that'll be true for the entire episode. Is it too powerful for a child's mouth? It's not a thing that you can lose all your baby teeth if you put in the kids mouth. You'd have to, you know, you'd have the most expensive day for the tooth fairy ever.
Starting point is 00:16:51 If you stuck it in the child's mouth, I'm sure. It feels like, you shouldn't really be sick in anything Sonic in your head anyway, but especially not if you're a kid. Yeah, you know what I say to you, you know, treasured three year old, come on dialing, approach the Sonic engine and open your mouth.
Starting point is 00:17:04 What? It doesn't feel, it doesn't feel like a responsible But you know, treasured three-year-old, come on, dialing, approach the sonic engine and open your mouth. LAUGHTER Well, it doesn't feel like a responsible parenting sentence, does it? No. Do you think that... So is it a vibration, then, that's cleaning your teeth? I think so. Yeah, at least so. So what it is.
Starting point is 00:17:19 So, in fact, well, they find eventually that this is rather like heading a football or something and brings on early onset dementia and you know Just brain being shaken by this thing. It would explain a lot about bear and action. Yeah Ben I tell you what go and get you're going to Sonic to brush. Let's have a yeah No, I know I mean like this isn't really the beef. This is this is three people Now, I know, I mean, like, this isn't really the beef, this is three people trying to get. This is such a kind of a nutty thing. What's the difference between those two talking about? Charlie's problem isn't, I don't know what my sonny is.
Starting point is 00:17:52 We'll get around to solving the beef in a second. In the meantime, I was surely, there's things to be pointed out to, because I wouldn't have thought that, I mean, I know it's, you know, environmentally maybe it's a good idea to use one toothbrush. But if you are able to afford a sonic toothbrush, then I would suggest you could afford to. And maybe your wife wouldn't have to stand there waiting for her turn while you're using it. That would be the solution, I would say. She had one as well. You both do it, she can't talk to you while she's on the other side of the matter. This is the talk of someone with a triple loctopension though. Yeah, 75 and 75. How many do you want? Come on. Just put some of your Guinness royalties to it. I think we get it with, I mean I think, you know, if we go into boots, because of the boot shares, we all got it.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah. Oh, boom. But that was in the days when you could pick up boot shares for pennies. It went out of it. Oh. Right, Clarky. I don't think it's Sonic, mate.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Actually, this is, this is, I'm looking at that. I'm looking at that. I've had one like that in the past. You have, yeah. This one's Sonic, mate. Actually, this is... No, I'm looking at that. I don't think it's that. I've had one like that in the past. Yeah, you have. This one's normal, V. Pop it up to the mic, doesn't it? You don't grade it from the water.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah. You definitely used to have one that would go with the wind. Yeah. I used to have one, yeah. Definitely that light that. Well, I can get my wife. We need this. So we need this.
Starting point is 00:19:21 If you come back with a vibrator with me. Yeah, we can. I'll be furious. She end, it's... If you come back with a vibrator with him, yeah, he comes up. I'll be serious. She told me, it's a toothbrush. That's a bad eater. We're all going to go. Just got something to tell you that is not
Starting point is 00:19:33 the son of toothbrush. And she's absent using it right now while he's recording. And I found out a fact about Sonic toothbrushes though. Yeah. We know they use sonic technology, but here we go. We've got a sonic toothbrush in from Tom here. Tom, very quickly, before we turn this on, before you've even heard the sonic toothbrush, how many times do you think the brush head moves per minute? How many times do you think the brush head moves per minute. How many times do you think the brush head moves per minute
Starting point is 00:20:07 on a Phillips electric sonic tooth brush? Anyone got any ideas? No, it's... Per minute, how many times? I'll tell you now, it's a while, not. So I'm gonna guess it does, it's 10 a second. So I'm saying 600 times. 600 times a minute.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I'm gonna raise you, I'm to say 1,500. I was going to go for 6,000. Oh, you've been fooled by the advertising and count. Yeah, that's it. Oh my god. They're playing a lot. How do they open their cat? Well, this is, I guess they film it and then slow it right down and have something there with a little ticker. But I can tell you now, Tom, Tom was the closest. Like record breakers. Yeah, I'll tell you the Norris Maguerto with a clipboard.
Starting point is 00:21:06 I can tell you, Tom, you were off to the tune of 90%. It's 62,000 times. I'm in it. And at that stage, you may as well say any number. I mean, no one's checking in that instance. So, oh, the this brush head moves up to 60,000 times per minute. I'm not putting that in my mouth. No way.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Oh, that's good, because my old one used to do 50,000, and it just wasn't quite cutting it, so that... I was just telling you, it's been a thousand times off. Yeah, that's ridiculous. By cutting it, you can cause me cutting straight to your guns with it. Ah, they are horrible. They are horrible. They are horrible. They make... It's gonna...
Starting point is 00:21:49 Oh! Oh! How is your wife feeling about you using it in your own mouth time? She doesn't know, but... She listens to the podcast, so she'll find out when she listens to this episode. Let's just leave her at that. Oh, it's very intense. and it is, can you hear that noise? It's like a lightsaber almost. Yeah. Yeah. And that, yeah. That's an annoying
Starting point is 00:22:16 mosquito isn't it? Yeah exactly, exactly right. So his case does hold up that it's probably too loud to hear what's going on, but I think it's... So we've got to be safe now where we believe him. We talk for about 15 minutes and we now Charlie don't worry, we believe you. That's where we are. So how are we into the podcast and we've... 80% of our listeners going, the fuck they don't know what a sonic tooth is.
Starting point is 00:22:47 So, I've got a suggestion which is, you know, when we had the whole Happy Birthday, what's your hands for Happy Birthday? What if Charlie comes home and says, oh, I heard a good thing on the radio today, it says, you know, to make sure you're brushing your teeth for the right amount of time, you should brush your teeth for the duration of, and then insert one of his favourite songs. Oh, that's good. That's good. Although the problem is not him brushing his teeth, it's her talking while he's brushing his teeth.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Yes, but if he says, I'm going to be listening to that song now whilst I brush my teeth. I can't hear what you're saying, darling. I'm just, I'm just, you're always really fascinating. Yeah, exactly. So it just means, well, you can give me your talk of the day later on. Oh, but only I could listen to you
Starting point is 00:23:37 because I do love listening to you, telling me all the things of the day, but I really need to brush my teeth properly, so I'm gonna have to put these very, very efficient headphones on. Is that what you're saying? She's going to fall for that. She's going to fall for that. 45 years of marriage tells me that she's going to fall for that. OK, I've got another one. No, Tom, can I just drill down into that for a second to use a dentist's parlance? Just blue. The idea that you could say to somebody,
Starting point is 00:24:05 I will listen to you after I finish listening to this song, is absolutely nuts, right? Imagine that outside of the bathroom. Imagine if Jane came over and what a day I've had. You went, oh, give me one second. I just want to listen to tiny dancer. If that's okay, just as soon as time comes over, then I am all ears, but Elton gets
Starting point is 00:24:27 first dibs on this. It's just, yeah. Okay, this is what this is one, then. We've all heard the sound. It's intense. It's unpleasant, right? So what if you start complaining about hearing loss and you start mishearing and saying, sorry, I didn't, and then say, right, I'm gonna go and see a specialist because my hearing isn't what it was. And then you go, you come back and you've printed off a little letter and it says,
Starting point is 00:24:54 oh, the sonic toothbrush is damaging my hearing. I'm gonna have to wear earmuffs while I clean my teeth. Therefor. Because we're dealing with 63,000 movements a second here, or a minute, whatever, whatever, you know, I think it's a minute or still. It may as well be a second. I don't think our schools aren't designed for that amount of movement.
Starting point is 00:25:17 That ratling. So I'm going to have to really focus in on, you know, the little bones in your inner ear must be clad together at some sort. You've got to think of my exact clear. And so I do daily. Where does he live? Look, I'm going to send him something from one of my pensions. Enough for him to buy another sonic toothbrush, because the solution clearly is for the two of them to say, so that we do it properly, let's start together, darling. Let's clean our teeth together. How romantic is that?
Starting point is 00:25:49 And they press the button at the same time, and they go through the whole process of 30 seconds, this side, 30 seconds. Who does that? Eyes locked. Eyes locked. And time. Dreams of this.
Starting point is 00:26:00 With the sound of the tinnitus that they'll eventually have. You've been ordering. LAUGHTER It spends dream to sit there and clean his teeth with his partner, but his partner leaves the house. His swim is on for some end on the bathroom door. A triple lock. Pretend you're having a shit. Hasn't it yet? A really high powered vibrating shit. That's what you need. A really high powered vibrating shit.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Oh my god. That's me straining, it's not too much. My inner anus can move at 63. It's a minute. It's an unrelated point. Could you put it back on to Charlie's wife and perhaps say like make it fun for her say look I love the movie love actually I'm a huge fan of that scene where Andrew Lincoln shows up at the front door step and has the big cards
Starting point is 00:26:58 message of the day just give me cards of the day you know that that's then at least it's a fun you know make you make it into a fun game. Or if that doesn't work, you could say, look, can you speak at a frequency that is higher than the vibration of the Sonic Toothbrush, you know, you can get like a dog whistle that is like at the highest pitch, you know, maybe just say, look, take Elecution Lessons and learn to speak at a higher pitch that's higher than the pitch itself. I don't know, I'm no longer going to listen to it. Listen to me. Can you any of options?
Starting point is 00:27:31 Can any of your updates of the day be more of a dog whistle nature to the updates of your day? Isn't necessarily. I'm not in a GB News sense. C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C- anything, just read my cards. I just want you to say that, today I met a man. He's the man of my dream. I'd like to divorce you. I'm taking the tooth brush. Yeah, to boy me. Another solidthbrush, a new time bastard. The thing that made me fall in love with him, the fact that he was willing to listen to me whilst cleaning his tears.
Starting point is 00:28:32 His name is Michael Fenton Stevens. He's showered me with toothbrushes. He's old, but he's rolling in it. He's old but he's rolling in it. So, yeah, so basically if you don't want this to end in divorce then DM Mike on Twitter and he will send you two Chris Psyfty Pound notes and you can buy yourself a new toothbrush. Beef solved. Be from a soning out your beef solved. I like the idea that all of our beef tonight are going to be solved by Michael to spending this big cap.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Don't worry, I'll send you some lovely food. I'll call Mike, yes, the checkbook out. Checkbook? You think I am. I have not had checkbooks since 1995. It's how you pay for your third house. I do know people with checkbooks though. I think there are some people who still have checkbooks. I found out the other day, somebody
Starting point is 00:29:32 told me that they went, had dinner with Paul McCartney, and at the end of it they said, well no, look, we'll pay, and he went, no, don't be silly, and he wrote a check. And they said, but come on, you pay for everything. He said, yeah, but they won't cash it. Amazing. Isn't that interesting? Wow. Yeah, of course you wouldn't. That's why you think, yeah. And there was a, anybody member John Ottway, John Ottway and Walter Barrett.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, John Ottway had a really free, really free, really free. He was a great, really free. He was a great song. He used to, my favorite song of his was something that meant he had a permanent scab in the center of his for it, because he used to do a song called Give It Ed Butts. I remember giving it, he was saying, I would be down the street, and I saw his boat and I thought, give it Ed Butts and he used to headbutt the microphone.
Starting point is 00:30:20 And that was his song, and he involved him doing it about 30 times a night. So he had this permanent Mark there where the thing is to make him bleed Anyway, he once said to me He I'm got him money Mike. I mean, he said no, do you want to drink? I'll get it actually Oh, I'm going to cash you couldn't cash a check could you and I said I've got some money. He said got 50 quid I went yeah, yeah, sure And I got a 50 quid out. He started
Starting point is 00:30:45 writing this thing. And when he'd had these hits, he'd become a member of Coots Bank. And they had special Coots Bank checks made for him. Well, he wasn't anymore because he didn't have any money. But he still had these checks. And he would write them on there for his deposit account. And it had a coot's bank and then his name underneath it and a photograph of him holding a guitar with his hand in the air with a spot by behind him looking really cool you know and I was about to and I said you don't think I'm going to cash this to you and he went what? I said you this is a trick you do this all the time because the checks cost you a pound and then you get someone
Starting point is 00:31:26 Did give you 50 quid for them and then they keep them and he went ah you busted he worked Really good So um have we sorted his beef I think he he solved, yeah, I think he solved. Would you like to do, would you like to do the beef that I sent to you, Mike? Do you want to just say a beef? Yeah, I'm happy to do that. This beef is called sneak beef, and it's from Ace. It says, dear Papis and guest.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Housemate, let's call her Pixie. I should imagine she is called Pixie. It came home one day having rescued, it inverted commas, and 11 foot Burmese python from a nightclub. The new addition brings the total number of snakes up to 15. The smaller ones regularly escape, and I'm told to keep an eye out. Now, it goes on. This housemate uses a medium instead of a vet to diagnose sickness in the snakes.
Starting point is 00:32:36 My favourite being, when the medium invoked the spirit of Steve Irwin, who told her her snakes are getting ill because she wasn't doing enough yoga. Oh my God. I should say that the place is a squat, but is blankly nodding and generally keeping my mouth shut about all this nonsense really worth not paying rent in London. Yours ace Ventura. If he was a pet detective, he'd have a lot less trouble. He would have that with Solve it, wouldn't it? That was Solve it, if it was Ace Ventura. Now, this very much is what your generation has done to the housing market.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Our generation is forced to live in squats with snakes. Well, you snipe them all the time. I didn't think people were force to live in squats with snakes. Well, you snuck all the gunpots. I didn't think people were allowed to live in squats anymore. I think all of us, second and third homeowners, made sure that that wasn't going to happen. That's a shame. He changed the law, didn't we, so that you couldn't have young people just moving into your London apartment? Yeah, he's not left in a dress.
Starting point is 00:33:40 No. It's a game. A little 11-foot Burmese Puython. What have you done? It's about the truth, isn't it? How are you with snakes? Have you ever worked with any? Yeah, I'm fine with snakes.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I don't mind snakes at all, actually. I'd quite like snakes, I've handled all sorts of snakes. My friend, who I started in this business with Angostitan, has a phobia about snakes. He's never seen Indiana Jones and the first film, he's never seen it because he was told there was a scene where he fell into the pyramid and there were snakes everywhere. He can't, I mean, he can't. Yeah, there's a few, I mean, there's a few, there's one in the third as well, isn't it, when the young River Phoenix falls into the, the, the snowy, I think, yeah, I think he
Starting point is 00:34:31 should watch it because he have a kindred spirit in Indiana Jones, because Indiana Jones has a face. He was down to the last two. He was down to down to the last two. It was, it was a face forward. So It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah.

It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah. It was, yeah Well, he has that really slow delivery, doesn't he? So I'm not sure that was his perfect for delivering the weekly gags. Very true. You know, he just has a really slow way of talking. That's why those films are so long. Could be done in 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:35:23 When he was in his obviously like 30 like, 30s, 40s, that gave him gravitas. But now the old regets... Now it's like... If he feels like he doesn't know how he's going to finish his sentence. But the publicity tour of The Last Ninja Jones film, it was slightly like... But it's obviously his...
Starting point is 00:35:39 It's always been his pace. But now that he's on a certain age, it does have a certain amount of jeopardy to it. He's going to forget where he is, doesn't he? Did I go for my walk? We made another film? What? Oh, OK.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Right. I hope I know bump into my dad. And then you did that in the last one. What? I'm the most worried for gets the gun. Yeah, good. I'm always doing that. And is that, yeah, was that joke?
Starting point is 00:36:17 As I get older, I become more existential. Every time I walk into a room, I think, what am I here for? Very nice. every time I walk into a room I think, what am I here for? LAUGHTER Very nice. Yes. I can't even begin to think how I would give A's advice here because the idea of living with one snake, let alone small snakes that get out.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Get out. The idea of just keeping eye out. Keep an eye out. I can't live. I couldn't live like that. It's not relaxing is it? No. I'm not bad with snakes either but I don't much fancy big in the house. And I don't think you do go into, I don't think you get into the squatting scene for relaxing purposes. I don't think, I think if you're into, if you're into the squatting scene for relaxing purposes, you know, I don't think, I think if you're into the squatting scene, you're not like, oh, this is a lovely cozy squat. And I can imagine
Starting point is 00:37:10 like, you know, the fact that the author's called Ace, you kind of think, there, you know, Ace and the Python's, it all sounds fucking cool, but it's so not for me. Yeah, I'm a beginner broach it. There is a possibility though isn't there that of course that he's that he's missing a trick here because I think I think clearly if you could get pixie if you could sorry I'm thinking this out as I as I say it. That's why I think it's exactly how we do it. Get pixie to go into the main room. This is me pitching from a new TV series. So I've had this idea.
Starting point is 00:37:52 You get Pixie to go and do her yoga in the main room with all the snakes in it. And you compress the air, so you fix all the gaps in the windows and you sort of really pump a lot of air into that room, okay? So creating an atmosphere in there that the snakes find enjoyable because it's full of oxygen. So they all gather, they're all the snakes that have escaped all creep back in again,
Starting point is 00:38:20 come on, and they get fascinated by this yoga, which is almost like a sort of a snake dance, a snake charmer. She's doing her yoga movements. At that point, you block up the door into the thing with all of her yoga equipment and any other luggage that might be happening to be around. That's trapping, although then you open the window suddenly, decompressing the room and all the snakes are flown out, and you sell the whole idea to Samuel L. Jackson. LAUGHTER And call it snakes in a squat. LAUGHTER
Starting point is 00:38:57 It could work. It's good. LAUGHTER Actually, I've just brought you to stun silence. I just... I'm just working out which is the best channel for it because I'm, we're absolutely nicking that idea. I'm going to pitch that to tomorrow morning. I, I, I, I, I think the problem we have with this is that none of us, I mean, I'm sure even, even in your, in your, in your your early acting days I can't imagine you're a
Starting point is 00:39:27 you're a squatter. I was getting 22 grand for the exact number of people. We don't need that. For any less, would you? Yeah, we know, we know. Which property should I buy next? You weren't one of these people doing like in your face theatre, were you doing Guinness Noverts? No, fair enough, and quite right too. Sorry, I just think we're just so out of our depth with this one. What is squat etiquette? Yeah, squat etiquette. What is it? Do you have squat rules? There's gotta be a limit. There's got to be an upward limit of snakes, you know.
Starting point is 00:40:12 In a flat shore, but in a squat, I don't know. Yeah. I think that's it because if, if, for example, it was, you know, you were all paying like a, it's just like a nominal amount of rent, then you could say, look, in the same way that I've got the big bedroom and I'd pay a bit more, you've got 15 snakes, you should pay a bit more, like,
Starting point is 00:40:28 and then at least it kind of like, there's a bit of yin yang to it, it balances out a little bit. But in this instance, no one's paying anything, so you just have to put up, don't you? It's either put up or start paying, or living in a place in London that charges you, which, that's just problem you see. I know, I do, as you know, as a squat,
Starting point is 00:40:46 you can bring any animal in your lake, then I would start buying mongoose. Yes, that's it. Yeah, mongoose or cats are very good with snakes. They're... There we are, you see. Just say, I look, I've got a whole new menagerie of animals that I've brought in.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Barricade yourself in your room with a cat and you'll be fine. You'll never see a snake. Are you sure cats can fight snakes? I don't know, yeah. How often does that get? Have you not looked at YouTube? Yeah, that's it. Cats are incredibly fast.
Starting point is 00:41:19 They can rotate at 62,000 per second. Have you ever watched Cat vs Snake? It's on right after snakes on a squawk. It's really good. It's on as a double bill. Snake's in a squat and then squawked. They do have those on the couch, isn't it? I've never watched them, but somebody told me that you have those, there's a big market for strange creature against strange creature fighting until like scorpion against tarantula and they put them in a thing and thousands of thousands of people watch the results. Watch the truth. Quite per death, that seems a bit for me that.
Starting point is 00:41:58 It's hosted by Craig Charles, it's on Channel 5. It shouldn't really be on, but you know it is. But no one knows it. It's a Bluger whale. It commentated a Bluger whale took out a rock whale last night. It was amazing. Occasionally, it's really unevenly matched. Did you see Young Grizzly Bear vs Stick Insect?
Starting point is 00:42:17 It was such a short bout. And then Bear, Grille, and me. That was one chance sticky pinnacle. Yeah, yeah, got Strape is nostril and that was it. That's the storm. LAUGHTER Craig Charles is nostril. Yeah, he called it up.
Starting point is 00:42:33 He thought it was a Friday. LAUGHTER One of the my concerns is, if you're the guy in the squat who's got a problem with the snakes, are they going to start thinking you're the undercover cop? Janana Meme. Are you the Nark? Are you the narc? Are you the narc? Do you know what I mean? It's like oh it feels like a test of how much how down you are with squat life
Starting point is 00:42:55 Right, maybe what were those police been doing that was an extraordinary period when they used that they actually form relationships with people And they were undercover cops because they thought these people were going to be subversive so they just followed them. They lived, they were people, years with people. Yeah, extraordinary. Mad. Imagine some of them even set up a podcast with them and did like a podcast for like 10 years just to try and you know, they had like a middling successful sketch comedian
Starting point is 00:43:26 breathed like the whole time they were in undercover cop and they never let on. Never let on. Even though they shared a sonic toothbrush. It's amazing. Triple Ender. Right, so is our best suggestion, Mongoose or cat
Starting point is 00:43:46 Which is also another game we're pitching Pitching that to ITV2 tomorrow morning Anton Deck present a member of the public with a barrel They put their hand in and have to guess if it's a cut of Ramongas And it turns out it's it's a great big blade that's swishing round That's the funny part of it. Yeah, it's cat on long braggers or Nutri-Ballets. Yeah It was another sonic engine. I'm afraid. Why does he pick the name pixie though? Why is he chosen pixie as Her nom de bloom
Starting point is 00:44:23 Do you think her real name's gonna be something like elf or something like that? He's just shifted a little bit to the left. I think the chances are, quite often when you've got a pretty nutty posh girl in a squat, she's actually lady something or other. That's how it sounds. She's one of the kind of eating. She's common people. I want to see what common people do. If I do more yoga, I'll charm the steaks.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yes, quite. It's that, it's that old seismic, Conminjusa. Yeah. Well, I don't think we can rule out the fact that all of this scenario is a hallucination and the ace is squatting on his own and he's eating some bad beans. Ace has gone mad at the draft excluders again.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I mean, if you go down enough of an instant wormhole, are we maybe we're just part of ACI's hallucination. That's not scratch at that surface. But ACI's, there is a chance that he might think Pixie is an actual Pixie and that there are no snakes. I'm just saying we can't rule that out. It's squat life, anything goes. Yeah. So you're saying we've been wasting our time on an idiot? LAUGHTER Yeah, but that's just me.
Starting point is 00:45:48 LAUGHTER Sort of the theme of the podcast. Yeah, this is where we are on the podcast now. It's like a lot of the time is working out whether or not we believe the people have written into us. Right. This is what it is. This is what it's become. So, yeah, I think, I think think by a mongoose and beef solved,
Starting point is 00:46:06 indeed, this was a beef at all. Michael sent you 250 pound notes to buy them. Oh yeah, that's right. I will send you a mongoose at the top quality, or even a mink, you know, I mean, I've got, I can afford them. Just go on. I could just imagine, I just imagine Michael's wife,
Starting point is 00:46:24 where you're after darling? I've just got a pop to London. I'm putting a mongoose in a squat Try not to snore darling Beef solved Beef solved, I'm happy. Beef solved. We have a beef in from Honey. This is a honey, writes, dear puppies and lovely guests. My boyfriend has a board line obsessive hatred for flies. So far we have fly nets on the door, but not the windows.
Starting point is 00:47:07 No matter the heat, he won't let me open our windows for fear of a fly. I'm boiling. And this came in this week. So during a heat wave, basically, I'm boiling. And when they do get in, it's my fault. So far, he's hurt a plant and broken a lamp, trying to battle the intruders.
Starting point is 00:47:26 What? How can I get him to fucking chill? That was funny here like that. Thank you, honey. Wow. I like the phrase fucking chill because it suggests that the other person, the person who's saying it is not chill. So fucking chill like me.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Can you be a bit more fucking chill like I am? Good lord. I reckon this one's quite simple actually. You know those, you can get those kind of harmonious. You've seen a harmonious go after a fly. Oh my god. Look at this series too, we're crying John. I know you're completely wrong.
Starting point is 00:48:02 You need to get snakes. You need to contact Pixie. You need to get snakes. You need to contact Pixie. You need to get in touch. Basically you need to get an old woman. She'll swallow the fly. Now, why? I don't know why. I've got a few minutes left.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Just a minute, perhaps you'll die. Well, you know what, in the new version she doesn't die because my kids are starting listening to it and It's one of those, you know in the way that they've like you know sort of taken out the the the bits in in roll dial about people being ugly or fat or any of that Yeah, stuff Um, to sort of pretend to know an old lady who's full of the horse. She's fine And that is her choice is how that right? That solved it. Were we to criticise? Just let people be people, but good yes, sake.
Starting point is 00:48:53 We're all going through our own stuff, okay? You just don't know what's going on inside a person. There could be a horse inside there, so just let people handle it and deal with it in their own way. Okay, be kind of kind of conscious. You know, an old lady who was a vegan, who swallowed a flim, she was so upset, she swallowed some corn. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:17 What, how does it end now, Matthew? I'm trying to think of what the final line is. I think it just goes to static on the video. I'm just panic. Yeah. I've gotten, I've got, I'll find out and we'll stick in the intro the next episode, I'll find out what's happening these days. But you can't be saying people are eating all,
Starting point is 00:49:42 you know, you're not scared kids are horses. I want my daughter to grow up to be a parallel player of course Mike's they're sitting here a bursary I've not I've gone quiet because I'm desperately trying to work out what that last rhyme would be Once you'll set that sort of thing you know I have a brain like that once you say yeah Well I think it must be something that makes and I go go, oh, what animal could it be that rhymes with, got better, or is no longer ill? And I'm trying to think, oh, I've got duck and bill, but I can't think of the rhyme that, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:11 she recovered, there's no animal that's gonna rhyme with that, no. Oh, shit. So, it caught the fly, and she's all right, now, there's gotta be a clean ending, and it's gonna keep keep me awake tonight that. Right, well when you get it, send it to me. I will send it to you.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Record it and send it to me. I'll write it on a £10 note and send it to you. Well, never spend it, you see. It's clever. It's clever, he's clever. He's got the genius ending to the end. He knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he flies, fucking chill, or we've got to get honey to understand her boyfriend's phobia. It is a bit lame, isn't it being scared of flies? Let's be honest, if it was a wasp. I'll tell you, because we have we have we have the the fly thing. We get flies enough flat and I'm not scared of them, but I hate it. But when you say the fly thing, do you mean you've got a filthy flat?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Well this is the thing we've got the fly thing in that we're flat covered in shit. Listen, we've got the shit bucket, yes, but... It's awesome, right? I'm granted it. But then come on, which sitting room doesn't?'t yes and the rotting beef with the maggots Found it everybody's got else you're gonna put your rotting beef So you please please the number of times I've been asked that question Well, so you have a lot of flies clarky. Yeah, we get flies man. We get flies So you have a lot of flies clarky. Yeah, we get flies man. We get flies
Starting point is 00:52:07 And are you fucking chill about it or are you? We go after them pretty hard with the old fly swatter Do you know you can buy now? You can buy a shot a fly shotgun. I Have seen this and you like cock it and then it fires a and you like cock it and then it fires a jet of air that kills the wasp and you can shoot them out of the air or a fly. And so you have, I mean, it's kind of targeted at Americans really, you have all the fun of going out and shooting things
Starting point is 00:52:39 but you get to do it with flies in your own home. Wow, well maybe, you know, then he could learn to love it with flies in your own home. Wow, well, maybe, you know, then he could learn to love a fly coming in. You know, if he enjoys the idea of shooting something out of the air with a stream of air that's so powerful, it kills it. This guy, I know, I know. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:52:57 No, sure, I'm, there are, surely, you were talking about those electric things over there, they go in shops and everything, and they're attracted to them and they just get electrocuted or whatever. That feels... That seems also like an American thing. They love that.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Here, let's go watch the flies get electrocuted. Yeah. Yeah. You've got the part. But what it feels like is you want to get this guy to kind of come to terms with flies, right? Yeah. Yeah. You've got to get him to make his peace with flies because the other thing you could do
Starting point is 00:53:39 is you could get, I mean how is he around spiders? Yeah. Because obviously that's the natural, I mean, now is he around spiders? Because obviously that's the natural, I mean, now I know class. Is this anger stated? We're still asking about it. He doesn't know that, either. Okay, okay, so you are right.
Starting point is 00:53:53 In the end, you know, we've got a Mongoose getting the snakes, we should get the natural solution. This is an environmental solution. We're not spraying the air with aerosols or anything, and trying to kill the fly. We're just saying, well, actually, you actually, let's set up a whole ecosystem whereby fly is coming into your house is a boon. Go for the Venus fly trap. If you don't want it, if you don't want to get the spider, I mean, a Venus fly trap when you're a kid, so exciting. I mean, I haven't seen one in absolute, I'm sure they're still around.
Starting point is 00:54:26 I'm sure they still exist, they've died out. And also, aren't there sort of like much bigger ones? You know, you can buy the little ones in garden centres, but they're like, they're a big ones that look very little shop of horrors. This guy is probably going to be shit scared of a Venus fly trap as well, isn't it? He's scared of flies, you think? The guy is scared of fucking flies, man. He's going to shit himself when he sees a Venus fly trap and what they do.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Is the problem that the girl who's written this in is called Honey. Is that the reason the house is for the fly? I'm sorry, I'm going to fly. You think she is a jar of honey? We accept all this away from her. You've left the door of jar honey. Jarah honey. If in fact this whole thing is, there's nets up apparently, are there? Overall the windows, they put fine nettings over the door.
Starting point is 00:55:24 So she can't open the window, can't get you fresh air, air conditioning unit, that's another solution. I can get more money, throw more money at the problem. I've got several. You get one on the NHS when you're over 65. Is the answer, I don't mean to be brutal about this, but is it a boyfriend with a bit more of a backbone? Oh no, we can't do that. Oh man, it's on. I mean, let's be honest, let's not beat you around the bush here.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Do you think that if you've got one of those guns that fires out a puff of air, it might kill the boyfriend? Do you think that we your turn to say? Is there an immersion therapy type element to this? Where are these? Smear him in shit. That's not what I'm talking about. That's a deep protest.
Starting point is 00:56:18 They came down. Hang in from the ceiling, like one of those sort of sticky tape things that they've used to catch flies. Cover them in fly paper, yeah. Just. I mean, it's just not used to the idea. Open all the windows. I mean, the problem may well be that he won't open the windows and the bloody flies can't get out. I always find the solution with a fly is you if you've got a fly in the house, open the windows and they will come out. They buzz around the way out of your living room
Starting point is 00:56:51 and that's why they head towards the television when it gets dark and I think there it is, a light source, it must be the way out. So open the windows. Has that timber done a deep dive on flies? Because is there an element of if he comes to understand flies and appreciate them, then he might learn to get along with them? Well, he bought a planet.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, he could watch the fly. Yeah. It's a great film about that. A great film. I don't know if that'll give you more of an understanding. It doesn't it? It doesn't come from the fly. I won't with a fly. And it doesn't go great for him, does it for Brundelfly?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Doesn't go blum, spew on his own food and then eat it. Yeah, a lot. And his skin starts peeling off. Yeah, I mean, he kills himself before the end. He's probably a little bit stuck off. You just like the bit early on, when are you just be able to walk up a wall? Yeah, that's good. That's good, I'm not just be able to walk up a wall. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:57:46 That's good. That's what I'm saying and stuff. Fantastic. I read Balda, you should be able to arm wrestling. You can do, isn't there a way of, isn't there a trick that you used to talk about when you're a kid about putting a fly on a piece of string so that you could take it for a walk? That if you get away with it, you could take it for a walk. If you get a... Wait, how did you say that?
Starting point is 00:58:06 You used to talk about this. It was like all the talk in the playground. You put a fly in a jar, you put the jar in the fridge, and then a cold fly goes to sleep. No, you put it in the freezer, don't you? You put it in the freezer. I'm sorry, I was that correct, Tom, you were absolutely... It was all the rage in the back of the 18-E that corrected, you were absolutely right. It was all the rage.
Starting point is 00:58:25 It was like a joke to do. It was like a joke to do it. It was like a bit of a fuckback. Yeah, it tied me a cock to it. And then suddenly you walk around town with a fly on a piece of string. Like, is it worth getting to know one fly and then, you know, going, okay, this fly seems, I I mean I don't know how, our fly is okay?
Starting point is 00:58:47 Do you mean to have a pet fly that he's going to fall in love with? Possibly. Possibly. It could be a start. Yeah. Either that will just go to a fucking gym and get a guy with more backbone, Jon, I'm just kidding. I think I like the idea of him with, you know, with his little pet, Phyllis the fly. Oh, no, he's nice. You know, just buzzing around his head, tied to a piece of cotton. There's a Gerald Dulles book, my family and other animals. There was a man in there, the beagle man, who used to walk around from village to village,
Starting point is 00:59:21 selling flying beetles, which again, he'd attached to pieces of string. So he'd have them buzzing around his head all day long. I think there's something in it. Put that theory to the test, I've put in a fly in the freezer and sticking it on a lead. There you go. We're all going to do that in fact. I'm now looking around the room again. Are there any flies? The quandary of that is he can't catch the flies to get rid of them. So how's he going to catch the fly to put it in a freezer? Yeah, I think honey needs to do it.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Sorry, can I just stop you for one second? My headphone, my both of them have died now. And I'm going to have to go back and see if the other one is charged enough for me to use it for the rest of this recording but When I come back, I've got some absolute gold that wasn't able to say In the meantime of course you can't hear a word we say so anyway, he's a shit Because I'm The guy's a real like oh yeah, he's still set.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Tell you what. We should put him in a freezer. Tie a little rope on him. Oh, he's not big. He's got him. I thought Matthew was going to stop us and say, we finished guys that pretty loud. That's great.
Starting point is 01:00:42 That's good enough for me. He's cute. Hang on, I'm back, I'll say. He's going back to this gold. I've got, you're getting that gold. He's got gold, and we need it, let's face it, you can get any more. We were right.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I've been squeezed like a lemon. It's no more humor coming out of me. Finish on a high note. No. I've done all my anecdotes today, because I've spent the day with Tom Baker. So obviously, you know, that's panic don't happen. You're a husk. I am.
Starting point is 01:01:13 No offense, you know, but you've been an absolute husk tonight. Right. Crossbow. Are you with us? I hack on guys, I'll tell you. But don't you worry about this? I have on, guys, outside. But don't you worry about this. I'm back.

You were talking about the beetleleman and I had dinner with the Beatleman the other day and I offered to pay and then he wrote a check and said, don't worry, they won't cash it.
