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.
Starting point is 00:06:50 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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?
Starting point is 00:07:48 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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
Starting point is 00:08:25 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.
Starting point is 00:08:41 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
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:39 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
Starting point is 00:09:55 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,
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:16 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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?
Starting point is 00:10:42 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:02 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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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.
Starting point is 00:11:58 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.
Starting point is 00:12:19 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,
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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
Starting point is 00:14:14 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
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.
Starting point is 00:15:09 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
Starting point is 00:15:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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?
Starting point is 00:17:59 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:24 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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
Starting point is 00:20:26 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,
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:37 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,
Starting point is 00:21:52 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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?
Starting point is 00:24:08 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.
Starting point is 00:24:28 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
Starting point is 00:24:48 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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,
Starting point is 00:26:00 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?
Starting point is 00:26:19 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.
Starting point is 00:26:35 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.
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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,
Starting point is 00:28:04 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
Starting point is 00:28:41 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?
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
Starting point is 00:29:12 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.
Starting point is 00:30:39 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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.
Starting point is 00:31:26 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,
Starting point is 00:31:45 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
Starting point is 00:32:02 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?
Starting point is 00:32:23 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.
Starting point is 00:32:38 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
Starting point is 00:33:09 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.
Starting point is 00:33:22 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?
Starting point is 00:33:47 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
Starting point is 00:34:11 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?
Starting point is 00:34:26 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,
Starting point is 00:34:41 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.
Starting point is 00:35:07 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,
Starting point is 00:35:44 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
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:46 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,
Starting point is 00:37:04 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
Starting point is 00:37:33 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.
Starting point is 00:37:50 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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.
Starting point is 00:38:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:19 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.
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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,
Starting point is 00:40:25 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
Starting point is 00:40:55 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...
Starting point is 00:41:11 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...
Starting point is 00:41:19 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,
Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:33 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.
Starting point is 00:42:51 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
Starting point is 00:43:12 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?
Starting point is 00:43:48 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.
Starting point is 00:44:09 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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,
Starting point is 00:45:23 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.
Starting point is 00:45:41 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.
Starting point is 00:46:10 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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,
Starting point is 00:46:46 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,
Starting point is 00:47:04 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.
Starting point is 00:47:20 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
Starting point is 00:47:38 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.
Starting point is 00:47:59 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:49 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
Starting point is 00:49:22 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?
Starting point is 00:49:50 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.
Starting point is 00:50:04 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
Starting point is 00:50:33 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.
