Packerscomedy.com forward slash live.
Don't forget it's a great pub.
Oh, it's a fantastic pub.
Well, getting touched but in the meantime, enjoy this episode with Tom Bell.
Well, if you've got a problem, I'm calling a problem, if you've got a problem call it
a B, if you've got a problem call it a bee.
If you've got a bee, maybe we can help you
be from the zoning I can be.
Geel's away, I've got the all clear,
she's like, I won't listen to this one
if you want a bee for about me.
I can see how it goes.
Oh, I really like that.
I like it.
We should do a little, a little discrepaniment at the start.
People often sort of send in beefs and they're anonymous
and they say, just in case my neighbors listen,
I think we have to have a code of honor
that we say, listen, if you are the neighbors of,
this person will give the full name of address.
Yeah.
You cannot listen to this episode.
You just gotta skip this one.
Just gotta skip this one.
Do you think, have you got a beef with your partner
that you want to just get out of the way early?
You always say look, just say look,
I'll tell you what, you don't have to,
you have to miss the entire episode.
Just get the first 30 seconds.
You're not all honest to you.
I'm, you know, you're always bits and bobs aren't there.
Yeah.
Why are you like to have that?
You started to go,
in all honesty I'm the one who should,
she should have to do it.
But actually then you were like,
how gonna second?
How gonna second?
There's a few little, if you go,
what, give us a bit, maybe a bar as well.
I've got too much stuff, I'm a hoarder,
so obviously we just get it,
all the stuff sort of mine.
But then it's like, that's okay.
I don't know, I'm like, I'm out to have my stuff.
I do have this problem.
Yeah, I've got this problem.
Oh, the stuff's mine.
And I'm like, yeah, the stuff is mine,
but I do, I want it.
Yeah.
That's why I play stuff, isn't it?
Yeah, it's stuff like, you know,
should you throw away a book
after you finish reading it or pass it on?
And I'm terrible for just keeping everything.
You've been, if I've, I'll never look at it again
or some like little visual memory of that time
I read a book, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
It is quite a proud book.
Or buy a book, don't read it.
But just, yeah.
Exactly, the shelves are full,
but I don't know, don't mind it. But it drives a man. She's just like, you don't read it. Exactly, the shelves are full, but I don't mind it. But it drives a man.
She's just like, you don't need this. Well, we've got a thing in our house where I, my wife reads
quality literature and I read shit, basically. And we had a bit of a bookshelf clear out recently.
And all of my books just ended up in a big pile in the call of the office and all of her books and you know what, completely fair enough
you know because it does make it see it, I mean the only thing is that then I feel guilty
when people come in and go oh look at all your books and I have to go I haven't read
a single one of these but yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah if you want to see there's all
a cragrapies, three or four copies, they're all up there.
I've read, you know, like, basically, that's what I read.
I read books about, you know, I read books about people
who work for Radio One in the 90s.
That's, that's kind of it.
Yeah.
But, you know, there's the books I enjoy.
He bought the original Coke from Whidnail,
and I didn't he, Chris Evans, we then.
He destroyed it on a scooter.
Yeah, he's lived a life, man.
He's like, he's lying to stake.
Or as some kind of top gear stunt.
By mistake, yeah, he kind of,
he was too long and he went on a scooter
and he just went under the wheels apparently.
Now, Tom Bell, an ounce today
with Nell and I, the stage shows,
gonna be his.
Yes.
We're gonna go for it and.
Oh my god.
And the bottom of the set, I wanna hear from people. I wanna hear is going to be, yes. We're going to go for it. Oh my God. And the bottom of this is,
I want to hear from people,
from actors who want to be here.
There's a, there's a,
tell you what,
and I, you've got, you,
you've got to be thinking of sending that email.
I mean, how's your uncle Monty, Tom?
He's feeling.
So.
So.
So.
Sorry.
It's good, it's casted itself this.
Yeah, I am thinking of sending that email.
You've got to do it.
You've absolutely got to do it.
That's another great book as well.
I've got one of it.
I've got with nails, Richie Grant's book.
That's fantastic.
That's up in the office.
Not quite Dostoevsky, you know.
Well, Jill got me, Richie Lee Grant's new book for Christmas and I'm like, well, if
you're not helping yourself here, are you?
Don't buy me stuff.
Yeah.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't give me gifts.
And it's better not to hang onto everything.
There's gotta be some think that she's got more
of the new have.
Yeah, yes.
What's that?
Yeah, that's a true.
It's a true.
It's a true.
It's a true.
It's a true.
It's a true.
It's a true.
In my wife's case, it's taste.
She likes nice things, you know. She's very happy to get rid of the, In my wife's case, it's taste.
She likes nice things, you know.
She's very happy to get rid of the,
let's get rid of this and go,
well that's, when you got that, it's quite new.
She's like, yeah, but it doesn't go with the other things.
And she's right every time.
She's got good taste.
Apart from in men, of course.
So one Achilles heel.
I'm capitalized on it.
But bathroom stuff, we've got a nice, we've got a lot of, the bathroom stuff, but that feels
like I'm being gender specific, but it does, it's how it's worked out.
And shoes, am I right?
Oh, go ahead.
Hand left?
Yeah, I know.
I have so many more shoes than my life.
Do you?
Yeah, I think I've got probably three times the amount of shoes that Jane has.
You're the MLD Markles of Papis, aren't you, Perry?
I know.
Yeah.
I feel sentimental about old trainers and so try to keep them for as long as possible.
Do they get a rotation?
Do they get a run in each of the shoes?
Or are some of them just there to be a sort of
memento of the time you once had a pair of Adidas?
Some of them have got like a glass debris in them.
Oh my God, those are the shoes you've got to get rid of
immediately.
I know.
If you've worn shoes to a festival,
if you've worn shoes into a drop toilet,
then you're chucking a second, you get.
I think it's not even fair to drive home in them.
Well, you use the drop toy that's dropping shoes,
don't you?
That's what I do at the end of Glastonbury,
I just, as ceremonially,
tie the Thomas Shoes together,
hoick up into the sky and poop,
and see how big a splash I can make.
The class, what we tend to do,
and a lot of people do, I think is that sort of area where you go,
okay, well, I'll put it somewhere,
and if I don't use it for a year, then it's gotta go.
So I've got an attic, but what means is my attic's just full of.
Oh yeah.
Because you never go up and clear it out, do you?
You don't clear it out.
I go up to clear it out, and then I'm just
awashin' lovely memories. That's the tricky thing, isn clear it out and then I'm just washing lovely memories.
That's the tricky thing, isn't it?
You can't go back to the box.
You know, my parents will always do this.
They've got various things at theirs and they're like, can you go up and sort through that
and I'm like, no, I haven't needed it for over a year, so throw it.
Yeah, no, of course, just get rid of it.
So you say throw it, that's great.
Because otherwise, if I start looking at it,
I'll be like, oh, I'll keep this, I'll keep that.
What I do is, I'll often go through it.
And I'll have boxes of old tickets from Edinburgh
and stuff, or flyers, and I'll often take a photo
of the flyer and send it to the person who show it was
and go, what about this?
And they'll go, yeah, I don't care.
I'm like, oh, if you don't care,
then I should probably shouldn't carry the,
and straighten the recycling, there it goes.
That was gonna be my ambition was to photograph
all my things that had sent to Intervalu,
and that way then I have them digitally,
and then I can bin them.
Yeah, that's good idea.
That's good idea. That's good idea, the project.
But the time that that takes you really
to just be kind of a single person with no one in your life
and then you can spend three months doing that kind of thing.
What you need to do is employ an archivist.
Yeah.
I love the idea of you employing an archivist
to take photos of all your old shoes.
Yeah.
It's quite
a tough job, you need a strong stomach. Clark, you've got no sense of smell. Yeah, let me
get him up. I'll get him up. Take him up. Take him up.
Take him up. Take him up. Take him up. Take him up.
Yeah. I'm pretty good. Tom, you just hit a three month job. Come on. Oh, yeah. OK, 25. I'm from the starting.
I can beat you.
Shall we try and solve someone else's beat?
Let's get into the place.
Let's get into it.
Tom Perry.
Do you want to start with Ash's beef?
I'm going to tell you now we're in for a cracking beef here.
Oh, yeah.
Mum's cooking beef from Ashley via beef
brothers podcast
at gmail.com.
Do get in touch.
Please do get in touch.
And the email is a fine way to do so.
Look, I know, Tom Baugh was saying,
I tried to besmirch digital's good name.
No, it's still a great thing to do getting in touch.
Email's where it's at, yeah.
Hello, puppies.
I am writing in with a beef concerning my mother's cooking. My mother is a terrible cook.
She doesn't own salt because she doesn't believe in it. She hates chopping anything and didn't own
a peeler until my wife bought her one. She, however, believes she is a great cook,
and me and my stepdad are just fussy eaters. My wife now refuses to eat anything she cooks.
She is notorious for not following recipes, giving her pathway through or substituting
ingredients. Here's some examples. She made a potato bake but didn't have cream,
so substituted it with Greek yogurt. I ate it and felt very ill, do not recommend.
She made a lasagna with whole
pitted olives in it. What? Fun crunchy mouth surprises. All of these meals were
completely unseasoned. Our solution to the bad cooking has been
ordering takeaway whenever we go around, eating out
or offering to cook. The problem being that she started to cotton onto that and knows what
we're doing and has become offended when we avoid eating her food, insisting that she
can cook. Pappies, what can we do? Cheers, ash, and then they follow up with...
P.S. and then they follow up with, PS, Artymato and peanut butter sandwiches weird.
It's one of my mother's recipes that I grew up.
Oh,
I'm a bloop.
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
well, we'll deal with that one first.
I'm a great believer that peanut butter goes
with almost everything,
but I don't know.
At least, you know, I tell you what,
at least it's got a bit of salt in it.
Will you road test it for us tomorrow
across bone report by now?
I'll have a peanut butter and tomato sandwich
and I'll tell you all about it.
It doesn't sound good.
No, it doesn't sound good.
But it doesn't sound terrible.
It doesn't sound, I would prefer that
to the celery with honey and soy sauce.
I prefer anything to that.
Yeah, what are you like as a cook Tom?
I like cooking, yeah, I'm like, I'm cooking,
I like to cook, I'm cooking, I just get on with it.
But I think all cooks think they're good, don't they?
I don't know, it'll be unterrible.
I think I'm good.
Yeah, this is actually an intervention.
I've been eating meat about 15 years ago, a long time ago now.
I think when you decide to do that, you have to get a bit better at cooking and you have
to go like, right, what, let's, so I sort of learnt the ropes a bit.
So I'm good, I enjoy it.
But I mean, that sounds terrible.
So it's in every recipe.
Yeah, you desperately need it.
You see, she doesn't believe in it.
That's not like a conspiracy.
You need it in your diet.
Yeah.
Not just for making things taste at least a bit good.
And everybody likes to think that they've no better than a recipe.
I can see that.
You can like, well, the recipe says this, but I think I can work my way around,
but there's a few things you've just got to go.
Like, you can do creme fresh instead of sour cream, but not...
No, not yoghurt instead of cream.
You can't go on colour alone.
You can't be colouring again.
And sort of vague consistency.
You know, you can't stick yakult in it.
I mean, it's a miracle.
This, by the way, it reminds me
because I use the BBC Good Food website a lot
to cook from, as I'm sure we all do.
But I love the reading the comments underneath
where someone would go, two stars and they go,
I made this for my family and they all hated it.
And then they will say, I didn't have this,
so I substituted this with this, I didn't have that.
So I said, and you're like,
well you didn't make the same thing that did you.
So you can't give it two stars, you know, like,
yeah, we didn't have any lamb,
so I substituted broccoli.
Well, of course, the course is not gonna work, you know.
I topped this with porridge oats,
well, no wonder it tasted vial.
You were lunatic, but this is very much that sort of thing.
I mean, shredding a meal is about that,
that's not a good place to be, is it?
Oh, it's hot, yeah.
That's no.
I know she knows.
What'd you do?
We've got to give some, we've got to give some.
We've got to get actually, we've got to get actually, we've got to speak.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
We've explained that we agree with Ashley, but we've offered no solutions up to this point.
A mother's day present culinary school?
Yeah, but it's very on the nose, isn't it?
Yeah, but if she only thinks she's a good cook, then maybe that's not
it's a bit too, you know. It's time posting it a bit, but I think at some point you've got
to be brutal. You've got to be cruel to be kind. I mean, what else can we do in this
situation? Cooking together. Could you, I mean, is there, could they sneak salt in somehow? Like one of
those rings that people use to have poison in. Yeah, one of those, one of those teeth,
but the fake teeth, it's also a salt, it's also a salt grinder. Yeah. Yeah. It's really big, ostentatious ring.
And then just a sandwich, it's taped under.
Yeah, just a sandwich.
When Ashley goes up to wearing like 15 different rings,
you know, she's got one on her fingers,
she's got one on her toes,
she's got a preco in one of them.
Yeah, she's got that like B, like a B A.
She's got a spiced jewelry.
Oh, a gar now, yeah.
Yeah, she's a solution spiced jewelry.
I think that's certainly a good one.
Yeah, not bad.
You know, gravy in a hat.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
You can.
So you think you're saying top of the morning to you,
but actually you're siphoning off playing with it.
You say gravy on there.
Because gravy, you can cover things.
You know, this thing's like that, I don't know.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, you know, the crawl intentions,
you ask the cross-rounder neck,
there's actually full of cocaine.
Yeah, this is what you wanna, you know,
pop some sweet corn in there
or something that can just, you know,
bring the meal alive.
It's just any other flavors, really.
Is there an argument to get somebody to dinner
whose opinion will count?
You guys. Yeah.
And I am talking about John to road.
Can do any of us have a connection?
Can we get to John to road?
Can we get John to road around Ash's house?
Because if he's in your dinner table and he tells it like it is,
which he would. He wouldn't surely then, you're dinner table and he tells it like it is, which he would.
He wouldn't surely then, you know, you want someone who's going to confirm it for everyone.
So it doesn't feel like a conspiracy or a cruelty.
What if John is so taken by the maverick nature of the meal that actually turns out
yeah, we're dealing with a master chef here.
Yeah, exactly
This is the next generation. This is a once wants an generation talent
Because that's the thing isn't it you know like some sometimes
Sometimes the the wackiest combinations they seem like on paper. They wouldn't work That's why I said to road. We don't want bloomin's where you can't get bloomin's
Oh, no god. No, don't get bloomin's on, don't get blue man. Seeing as some sort of protein. You might have found his kindred spirit,
his next in line, the backspin path.
To Rose, no nonsense.
He can't hide.
He's very, very happy to say,
that the flavor of the Greek yogurt
is ruining the flavor of the potato.
He's happy to do that.
He's always, you know, unfortunately, the gorgeous taste
of the celery has been lost in all this soy sauce, it's swimming in. That's, he's
happy to do it. Yeah. How do we get, or do we get, do we get, you know, because you get
a John Taroad lookalike, if you can't get the actual John Taroad, because you get a
John Taroad lookalike and feed him lines with like a little earpiece?
It's more work, isn't it?
That might be easier.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
And the green of each other.
Yeah, yeah.
Clarke thinks it's Clarke thinks that's easier.
Tommy thinks that's harder.
Yeah.
It's going to be worth trying, isn't it?
I think start with John and then you've got that as a backup.
Slow, yeah.
Absolutely, yeah.
Is it an option?
Like you could also go, oh, we've got loads,
we had a big meal last night, it's those I've left over,
don't want them to go to waste.
Can we bring them around?
And you just, every time you bring, obviously, a full meal.
And you're like, people didn't eat a lot last time.
Last night, is that a thing?
So it's in like you do the cooking ahead of time.
And you just go, I don't want to get waste.
You know, we've got this thing here of, she's caught and gone.
Oh, yeah.
And she becomes offended when we avoid eating her food.
She insists that she can cook.
But then she's going to be aware of all these, all these little maneuvers.
I think we're in a position where Ash has to be in of all these little maneuvers.
I think we're in a position where Ash has to be in the food
or has to get a message through that this woman can't cook
without damaging her relationship with her mom.
I've got a great idea. I've got a great idea.
Here we go. Fake mouths.
That will find it.
There it is.
But a fake mouth, okay. So talk us through it, so you put the food into the mouth, but
it's not going.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's chompin' away.
I'm chomp chomp chomp chomp.
Are you thinking of the Neenaconte style?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe a little big than Neenaconte ones, they're a bit obvious.
You think Neenaconte, you think both select a scale down slightly.
Fake rubber mouth that you all wear around the house.
The food goes like, gets siphoned into like a small rucksack
or something that you're wearing,
or maybe you wear a large pair of parachute pants,
and the food just gets siphoned into the bottom of those.
But this is what, so you go there having eaten
a nice full meal on the way over. You know, you pop into KFC, pop into macchi-dee or something, fill yourself
up, whack on your rubber mouth just to go again and say, oh, is that your famous lasagne
with olives pips in it, send it this way and then, tromp, tromp, tromp, tromp, tromp,
tromp, possibly even, possibly even like some sort of,
you know, those waste disposal units you have in sinks. Oh yeah.
Maybe somewhere in there that could have,
you know, that could be just grinding it up, you know.
It could be a little, a little, a little,
a little pig at the bottom of the bag, pig's eat.
What's that?
A micro pig?
Yeah, this is actually, this is exactly it.
Yeah, you've got, you've got a micro pig
in a bag that is siphoned,
that siphoned the food from a rubber mouth to the pig.
The pig eats it and it sounds like,
you know, the bones are going to be like,
oh my God, the noise is there making,
chopping that stuff in the face.
It's like the squeal of the light.
They can't get enough of it.
They're positively oinking with pleasure.
Oh, I'm going to make my potato make again with an extra
Greek yogurt. I think this is a closer to a solution for that.
Okay, so fake man's micro pigs. Fake man's micro pigs, yeah.
Because the lookalike was outlandish, but now we're there. This is achievable. We've given plenty of different options.
I was happy to say beef solved after the spice rings.
I do still like spice rings.
I think spice jewelry,
to ride guests, fake mao's micro pigs,
take your pick really.
All the bases are covered.
Beef solved. But none all the bases are covered.
Beef solved.
But none of the bases assaulted.
From the sorting I can be!
Beef solved.
Free range chalk beef from Eleanor.
Nice.
High beef brothers and esteemed guests, that's very nice.
For the past couple of years at work,
I've been using liquid chalk pens to decorate a large window
on one of our workstations.
These drawings started out,
officers with silly little scribbles and puns
about our workplace.
In brackets, a particle accelerator.
Yeah, and that's a bit of fun, isn't it?
Ooh, but I've started to get better at making the chalks
a little more decent.
I've attached a couple of examples from my port folio,
and which we've been sent.
Oh yes, she sent some photos over it. You're going to put them on Instagram or something
to be wasted, see them, I'm sure. Yeah. When they're worth seeing. I'll stick one on Instagram,
yeah. This week, I updated the main window, replacing a scene from the classic studio Ghibli. It's
like, Ghibli, hard, I'll let myself down there. I think it's Ghibli, yeah, Ghibli. Yeah, Ghibli. Okay. My name is Totoro, with a slightly tweaked scene from Pixar's Up Exhibit A, albeit unfinished.
My colleagues started helping me with a huge task of coloring in all the balloons, lifting
our building into the sky.
When I came back this morning, I found that one colleague went rogue overnight and started
drawing trees and flowers.
See, exhibit B.
So we've got it before and after. Oh and flowers. See, exhibit B.
So we've got it before and after.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
The question is, is it irrational to be upset
with this edition?
I guess I don't own the concept of drawing on a window,
but it feels like she overstepped by any elements
to a thing I drew without creative direction to do so.
Do I need to let this go or should I erase the trees
under the cover of darkness?
As creative yourselves, you are the best people to provide guidance here.
Cheers everyone by Eleanor.
There we are.
Wow, it's a piece of...
This is a tricky one because you can tell Eleanor is an artist.
She's able to draw, she draws really well.
All of the pictures she sent us are genuinely fantastic
and would brighten up any office space.
And the exhibit A, which is the,
just the building being lifted up with the balloons,
looks great, she's got a real style.
The trees, I would say, are a little bit more.
Children's ward.
Is that any more of, yes, exactly.
No, no, no, I would say children's homework.
Uh, I think there's something a little bit.
Crucially, they've misunderstood the photo as well
because in her version, they're in the sky.
And now the trees have brought them back down to the ground.
That's true.
They're hovering about half a foot above the ground.
Which is not really what, I mean, if that was what up was about,
it would be more about an old man killing loads of people
with his house.
It would be called a long, wouldn't it?
LAUGHTER
It's definitely a style clash.
Eleanor's got sort of the black outline, more like a cartoony,
sort of very clear, and these trees, yeah,
it's a very clearly a late addition.
Much like that fresco that was ruined.
Yeah, it's not saying it's as bad, but it's not far off, is it?
It's not good.
General, I would.
General, I would.
I think this is what would send an even stronger message, is rather than erasing the trees,
obviously inspired by the incident
that Hadrian's war recently.
You should erase down to the stumps
and have a little cartoon character with an axe
and you fail the trees.
I like that a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it feels like it's got a bit more of an edge to it, gentlemen.
It's a little bit more ag, a little less passag.
Well, that's what we need in this situation.
Just you've yes and it, haven't you?
Yeah, you've kind of put it down.
You've yes and it, but also put it down.
Yeah, but I'm a little really clear like, we're not okay with that.
It's playful.
AKA Paris in Pro-style.
Yes, and absolutely not.
Yes, and we are an adentist,
but it's closed and actually we're just gonna go back
to home where the scene started.
Now.
Yeah.
Do we think if the trees have been done brilliantly,
that would be more or less okay?
Well, I think Clarke's right.
I think it's a scene that's not on the ground,
crucially.
It's a real tricky one,
because I was gonna suggest a slightly similar thing
of like trying to develop the photo,
like develop the picture
and take it elsewhere.
Like it's landing in a new spot or something like that.
But I think actually just going for the trees.
To chop the tree down or smash the window.
Yeah, I was gonna, a brick through the window
does feel like the, you know, to send,
well that will send a really definite message.
Won't it?
I'm tied to the brick.
Yeah. Do you think that, I mean, obviously,
it seems like Ellen has been doing this now.
How long should she be doing it for?
A few years.
She's been, yeah.
How long?
Don't know.
And when it finished, she just said,
I didn't start off brilliantly and I've gotten better.
So I suppose this tree, the two of this tree person
is at the start of their journey. Well, is it time to share the window? Is it time
to kind of rotate out? And I know this is not like Eleanor obviously is a fantastic artist
and loves it and cares a lot about it. But do you think there might be slight murmurings
within the office of like not necessarily anti-Eleanor murmurings within the office of like, not necessarily anti-Ellenomeurings,
but pro personal artistic growth murmurings
from the past click accelerator employees.
They might go, I just wish one day I could have a go
on the window.
I could have a go on the window.
Anything we said for one window each
and some sort of, you know, competition.
Window wars.
Yeah.
I think, I mean, they've got,
probably important things to be doing
I mean there's no reason why you couldn't yeah, you couldn't give a window to at least it does feel a little bit like
Let's look at what you know if you've written a great gag or a great sketch or something and as you know
You do it and then after with somebody goes that's great
And they just try to add
a punchline at the end.
It is annoying, isn't it?
Oh, it really is, yeah.
I've completed a piece of art.
No, no, I'm just, no, I think Tom, he's talking about me.
I know, I was thinking more about what used to happen
after gigs where someone would come up and go,
what you should do at the end of that and then you go, are we have worked really hard
on making sure this is,
we've thought, we've had your first thought
that you've just had now, you know,
having watched us with six points in your system,
and we've rejected it.
You should put trees in the sketch.
That's like, person.
Put some trees in it.
It is annoying, because it's the right idea, yeah.
Yeah, why do we think of it?
Sometimes they'll be right.
I think you're right, it might, maybe that's the thing.
It's like, okay, next time I'll seed control,
and what's gonna happen is they'll give it a go,
they'll realize they're not able for it,
and they'll be people we desperate for Ellen
to come back.
Also, if you get to see the picture,
it does look like the part of the accelerator
is sort of leaking in the tree version, which is quite bad, isn't it?
That can't be good.
Yeah, it looks like there are sort of like, or they like sort of goo.
Yeah, some sort of goo is hanging out at the bottom, or roots, or something like that.
It's like a naturally occurring particle accelerator.
I think in the original, it was to show acceleration up, you know, it's sort of like that cartoony we're flying and the person's
misunderstood and just turned into good.
So now you're saying it's become a nuclear incident.
I look like it.
What started as movement has now turned into a Chernobyl.
Yeah, we're in a sort of like a last of us type situation just around the corner. Do you think, but maybe that's a good warning, however, this is a saying,
I don't think we should put this very important technology in the sky.
Yeah. Do you think she walked in and saw it and thought,
ah, right, this is a proposal of what we're going to do with this building?
Maybe I could, listen, this is an idea that needs to be grounded ever so slightly,
and I'll just add that in there.
The tricky thing is, Eleanor asked other people to colour in the balloons.
It's a big old job, right, to colour in all those balloons, but the second you hand a
pen to somebody else, you are relinquishing an element of control.
And I think that is, again, I'm not blaming Eleanor here.
I'm just saying, I understand,
because some people will stay within the lines,
but there's always gonna be a few lunatics out there
who think, no, I know what this needs.
Eleanor has to be fucking good at a job. Ha ha ha not anything else to do with the drawing.
You just, if you could be good at your job, that would be really good.
And you have to be really good at your job to be able to put that much effort into
procrastinating publicly.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Yeah.
Like she's got to be the shit hottest person there.
Otherwise, she needs to stop doing these
for the sake of her career.
Even if she's working late,
then it still doesn't look great if you go,
oh, I saw you work late last time,
what were you working on?
As you go, ta-da!
You see that, you're ghibli,
think about the little kid with
the big weird rabbit that follows around, right? No, you haven't seen it. Oh, it's great,
it's on Netflix. Yeah, you're right. As soon as you start doing anything extracurricular
on office time, yeah, you better have, you know,
you better finish your paperwork.
Because even if she's the security guard,
you still don't want that from,
even though you know your security guards there
on a night shift with hours to kill.
You don't want your security guard going,
by the way, I wore paper,
like you want to like, yeah, check the perimeter.
Yeah, I think a security guard should be able
to see through the windows as well, crucially, I think a security guard should be able to see
through the windows as well, crucially.
I think that's one of the security guard's key jobs.
Freaking out, what's the big rabbit thing?
It's the big rabbit thing of the outfit.
I mean, I'm kind of thinking, I don't know,
but in a particle accelerator, I imagine most windows
are there for good reason.
Just make me a little bit nervous. It's like I couldn't see the neutron melting.
I mean, I know scientists.
Whatever, a new neutron doing.
That particle, well, because of all the coloured balloons.
And it went too fast.
The neutron went too fast.
But is there, again, I don't really know how
Podigless Celerator's work, but could she go back in time?
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Get inside the accelerator.
Yes.
Go back in time.
And you have to be very careful not to obviously let old Eleanor see you, but just sort of sabotage the trees. Maybe, that's maybe
future Eleanor did this. Okay, she went back, I fucked it. If only something could put me off.
I need to stop doing those murals and I would have saved my career.
She pops in the particle accelerator, whips around with the neutrons.
Suddenly she's back, she waits for herself to go home.
She does, let's be honest, dog shit trees that she knows are going to
put ruin her
mural and question whether people actually like her mural, etc, etc.
And then there's now contacting us. We're saying, maybe you've got to think twice about
doing the mural. And then there's going to keep her job, get promoted and probably save the world
by nailing down nuclear vision. Yeah. I'm going to go.
Yeah.
I'm going to go.
Am I allowed to say beef sold or is that you got?
Hey, do you want to take it for a spin?
Give it a go.
Just, if that's not what happened, I'd be very surprised.
Take it for a spin, Tom.
See how it sits.
Well, beef sold.
Sounds good, no. Well, beef's off.
Sounds good, no.
No, sorry. That was good.
That was just, he's come along and he's drawn
a big fucking tray on that pop-up.
That's what I'm talking about.
Future me is coming back and saying, don't say it.
Be from a sorting like a beef's off.
This is from Charlotte, and it is another free range beef,
main character syndrome beef.
And Charlotte sent us in via beefbrotherspodcast
at gmail.com, which is a great way to get in touch
with this podcast, dear MTB and esteemed G.
We have another esteemed guest there.
We have a new colleague who has perhaps the most egregious case of main character syndrome
I've ever known and it's driving us insane
At first it just seemed like a case of eleven a reef
You've been to ten a reef. She's been to eleven a reef. Love me stuff
I enjoyed the allowed of that
Eleven a reef I'm not going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to... I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, by the way, from ash. We were interested in what you and
your partner were having for dinner. Because it was insane. Because it was absolutely insane.
Yeah. So it then mutated into a habit of her interrupting conversations with an,
oh my god, you're never going to believe this, followed by her reading out vast suaths of what
zap chats she and her social group are having, usually about some tiny nightclub in the back of Yorkshire, none else have heard of.
Now it appears to have reached its zenith with the, and everybody there stopped what they
were doing and told me exactly how brilliant I am face.
That's the story of the other day.
Literally consistent of her telling us, she was walking past her hairdresser's in town
and finding herself being chased down the street by two of the stylists telling us she
had the best hair they had ever seen.
It's insisting.
It's insisting she come back with them to the salon so that she could show it to their
clients and her having to flag down a police car because they wouldn't leave her alone.
Oh my God.
This feels very much like, you know,
that account on Twitter didn't happen
of the year or awards.
Didn't happen of the year or what, yeah.
And then everyone in the salon started applauding.
To flag down a police car because the stylist
wouldn't leave her alone.
Because her hair was so good.
Like she's the Beatles in hard days' night.
She's just got a good sleep, you know.
Benny Hillfey in plays and she's running around being chased by stylists.
She's now a constant monologue of stories ending with everyone praising her or
applauding her are quite often falling out with her because they're just so jealous of her life.
The thing is, she is lovely, which is not on broadcast mode and she clearly has
some self-esteem issues which contribute to it. But how do we come together as an office to try and curb this behavior
before everyone, some have already, starts to be mean to her? Please, pop some advice
in my face, Charlotte. Okay, it's a very strong beef.
It's really good. Right now, I would say. Yes, going, Clarky.
I'm no scientist.
But can you get a particle of that?
Sorry.
I don't know.
It's a tough one, this, isn't it?
It's a brilliant one.
I mean tough.
My instinct, my initial instinct is to keep the top
Trumps going.
You know, Charlotte, you seem like you're a switched on girl.
You write a funny email, you can make it.
If she can make up some stories,
you can make up some stories.
I think that's what you've got to do,
is you've got to fight fire with fire.
And if she's got, you know,
you've got to go 12 a reef on her, basically.
You've got to keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.
So if she says that, if she says that, you know, the stylus would chase you down the street,
say, similar thing happened to me and the entire hairdresser's took off as if carried by the loons.
And landed in front of me.
Exactly. I think that's certainly one way
to get. Yeah, that's a good one. I think you need to buy this girl some podcasting equipment
and encourage her to start a podcast. Because that's all she needs. She needs the outlet. Podcasting is the perfect outlet for her. So if there's a birth
they come in up and it's like, oh, like, organise, say there's an office, raffle at Christmas
and then she wins and it's a podcast, it's a home podcasting set, 40 quid, 50 quid,
half things and set up. Sure. And then it's like, 40 quid, 50 quid, half decent set up.
Sure.
You know, and then it's like, oh my God, and everyone goes,
that's amazing because you have so many great stories.
You should definitely start a podcast and then,
she's got somewhere for it to go.
She can be reading out of WhatsApp groups,
she can be telling her tall tales.
I think, let's be honest, she'll probably do well out there.
Yeah, I think, you know what, I think, I think our friend Chaz here should be, should be starting
the podcast with her, because what you need is a bit of back and forth, a bit of RG Badge,
you know, you look at the, you know, you look at the, those podcasts like Shag married
annoyed or my therapist ghosted me, you know, they are, they're, they're born out of
a little bit of, oh, you were always saying this, and that's not what, that kind of,
that sort of tug of love type situation.
Start a podcast together.
You know, you never believe any of her stories.
She insists that it's true.
You know, I think I can see you as a natural podcasting
on odd couple.
But then you take it out of the office.
Yeah.
On to the net.
She's got somewhere for it to go.
It's going to save the office dynamic.
Next thing you know, you're quitting your jobs
because the HALO Fresh Adverts are rolling in.
The Casper mattress advertiser, you know,
you're getting those sponsorship reads.
It's happening for you guys.
Then you put your plateaus, you realize you've kind of reached
the number of patrons you're going to get,
the adverts kind of drop off.
You still commit to your patrons, you like them,
but is it enough?
You might have to give to the podcast,
but you keep doing it, you enjoy doing it,
but you know, and then other podcasts are in the arenas,
and are you going to make it through to the arenas?
You maybe sell out a room blower pub, do a live tour,
see how that goes.
And if you were going to go to the arenas, wouldn't you've already got there?
Being a arena by now.
Oh, do you know, wouldn't you?
You're quite seeing a lot of time.
I mean, it's good.
It's a good, but I mean, have you plateaued?
Those are sort of things you might be thinking, Charlotte.
Yeah, yeah.
Just like three in the morning, I'll just come to your minds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For example, I mean, that's why you should get that girl
podcasted for God's sake.
Another outlet is a good idea though.
And I think in some ways, there's a lot of extra
about that, it sounds like Charlotte's more of an introvert.
I'm, you know, I'm,'s, that's would be me as well.
Main character syndrome.
You're a man who's literally inside his own cupboard right now.
Yeah.
Just hiding from, from the world.
Main character syndrome drives me mad, but, you know, that's what a lot of the internet is, isn't it?
It's just people going, ah, no internal monologue.
I've got to do, you know, and you can, but if you're doing that, you need to commute it and say,
I love that, love that post. That was great.
Hmm. Or just, you know, you just get a blogger going
or a, right, let's write it all down,
let's make a movie out of this, you could say.
I wanna see the movie, don't waste it on us, save it.
Save it for the movie, you kidding me?
Yeah, save it for the book.
Basically yeah, create an agency and sign this,
sign this person because it sounds like they've got.
I was thinking about that main character syndrome thing because the opposite of that is
NPC being used as an insult. Have you heard this, the non-playable character?
If someone calls you an NPC, they're basically saying that you're unimportant.
It's like a sort of...
You're not a real person.
Unimportant.
Well, yeah, basically, yeah, like an unimportant figure.
None of us have heard that.
I don't know.
That's just...
I've got to live in Teldor.
All things I'm playing character syndrome is it's surely understandable because you spend
all your time with that character.
If you're watching the sopranos and you're spending all your time with Tony soprano, then
you can safely say he's the main character.
Sure, sure, I get what you're saying. Like, your story follows you even when you're having a shit, right?
So it's like, if the narrative of the story is even the person who's taking a shit,
that's part of the story.
Then you can kind of understand why people
would imagine that they're the main character
of their own story.
But that's not what's happening here, is it?
What's happening here is she's kicking the door up
and going, come on, everyone, look,
there's amazing shit.
I'm done.
I don't know, I'm just, I'm just,
I'm just, it's like, no, I know it's just a dream.
I do know him, he's quite a funny, tight, or for it really.
Yeah.
I guess it's a lack of understanding
that other people shit.
It is like, you won't believe.
Watch what came out of this.
There you are.
Yeah, but you could, if there's a, you could go like,
well look, this podcast can't wait, these ideas are too good.
They set up a little soundproof room in the office. An hour every day, they just send her in there. You record
that, I'm going to listen to that on the way home, I cannot wait. You can get those booths,
can't you, that I don't like the box around your head on a pole. Top bells in the board,
right there. Yeah. But like, you can fit your shirts in
there. Like these things, it's like a tiny, it is like just a box, it's like a head box
studio, isn't it? One of those, get in there, can't wait. She's just got like a little door that I meet.
Me, Danickedo, you can just,
just wait, save this for the pod.
Just let the door run out for the pod.
Little live like goes on.
This is just to save that part of the drive.
There's an episode of One Foot in the Grave
when a very boring neighbor calls him up on the phone.
Have you ever remember this? And the phone, he just sort of basically goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah calls him up on the phone. Have you remember this?
And the phone, he just sort of basically goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Put the phone down, but it doesn't hang up.
And like every now and then throughout the episode, you just want this up to the phone,
and pick up his, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But to make it out again, I'm going to be like, that's what you've effectively done to
this person.
If you go, you go over there, I'm going to stick a box over your head.

Or you can WhatsApp that number and it will send the message directly to us.
Now, we've had a message in from one of our Patreons to say that they've converted it.
If it's a little tricky to remember the number, 0208, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 7, 2, you can think of it in this way.
Okay, for the hotline number, I've converted it to words using the key letters
on the number pad, so two could be A, B or C.
We all remember, we all had Nokia 30s,
retends back in the day.
The best I can get is O2081, B-Arc.
O2081, B-E-E-A-R-C.
That means that when I eventually dial you,
all I need to remember is 1208-1 and some B's in an arc.
So thank you very much to Ben for that.
What did think up first, you would just say bark really
with Italy?
Don't confuse things, guys.
This is the way we're gonna get people
to call the hotline.
