Starting point is 00:00:32 Lukey Moore. I saw a film a couple of nights ago that I have very little interest in talking about, I've just realised. Because it was alright. It was the Golden Globes winner, Anatomy of a Fall oh right yeah set in like
Starting point is 00:00:47 the Alps I don't really know where it's set but there's a lot of French German stuff happening and it's it's pretty good
Starting point is 00:00:55 it's about a woman whose husband dies and everyone thinks she's done it right exactly any good yeah it was alright
Starting point is 00:01:00 it was a bit like what was that one about sign language and people being deaf? I think that won the best Oscar last year, didn't it? That was okay. So what's this? Your little section on films that are simply fine? Simply fine, but ones that really
Starting point is 00:01:16 do obviously exceed expectations. What's the best film you've ever seen? Short Circus 2. Nailed it down. The thing is, here's why I asked you this. short circuit too nailed it down nailed it down here's why I asked you this because you won't be
Starting point is 00:01:28 confident enough to answer that properly why? because you just think oh no I've said the wrong thing and people will laugh at me no when have I ever been scared
Starting point is 00:01:37 for people to laugh at me that's a fair point or score dickhead what's the best thing you've ever seen my favourite film is The Jerk
Starting point is 00:01:43 with Steve Martin okay I love it that actually fits your profile quite well right but I think the films I've always
Starting point is 00:01:51 been quite warm Virgin Suicide is always one for me yeah that's right up your street as well I can see why you'd like that it's just dreamy
Starting point is 00:02:00 it's just like a real kind of nice dreamy film it's like great soundtrack you know it's right it's 1999 it's right like a real kind of nice dreamy film it's like great soundtrack you know it's right it's 1999
Starting point is 00:02:08 it's right in the mix of when you were kind of yeah an impressionable age no yeah I mean like it was between that
Starting point is 00:02:16 yeah I used to watch that and Fight Club quite a lot once it got to yeah that was 99 as well I would say mine is probably Jaws I like Jurassic Park
Starting point is 00:02:26 I obviously like Good Will Hunting I think is very good yeah Apocalypse Now and Platoon two of my favourite war films I'd say
Starting point is 00:02:35 but that's what I mean it's whatever you're it's quite hard to sort of quantify like Simon Cardy from the IGN UK podcast he
Starting point is 00:02:42 has got like a kind of a rolling kind of IMDB PsyMDB I believe he calls it list of 100 films and he'll sort of when he sees a new film
Starting point is 00:02:52 that belongs in the top 100 he will go into his database and sort of move them around and stuff but it's hard it's whatever you fancy doing really
Starting point is 00:03:00 I think you can I mean they're all pretty solid films I think his favourite one is like I think it's a mean they're all pretty solid films I think his favourite one is like I think it's a Daniel
Starting point is 00:03:07 Lewis one but yeah well it'll be what there will be blood or something I think it might be
Starting point is 00:03:15 yeah the thing is everyone whacks his lyric about those Peter Anderson movies and I totally get it and
Starting point is 00:03:19 they are amazing in their own way but they're so slow paced yeah I don't think I've seen it to the end of that film I don't think I've seen it to the end of that film well that's are amazing in their own way, but they're so slow-paced. Yeah. I don't think I've seen to the end of that film. I don't think I've seen to the end of that film. Well, that's probably why.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I'd rather watch a two-and-a-half-hour film on this, made by Anderson, rather than an Avengers film. Because they overstay their welcome, as discussed before. They're way too long, and they're way too formulaic. But Peter, I think I mentioned to you a while back, maybe a month or two ago,
Starting point is 00:03:48 I watched Killers of the Flower Moon at the BFI. Right, yes. Good. Four hours? I think it was just over three and a half hours long. Right. And I always think to myself, Die Hard, brilliant.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Perfect film. Gets everything done in two hours. Yeah. And then Scorsese will come up with this stuff where he'll say, oh, yeah, I know, but you've got to commit to it, it's an art form, and all the rest of it, you know, freaking Marvel movies are like a roller coaster
Starting point is 00:04:14 in mind of proper films. I get all that, but it's a long old hop, that. But do you not think that he's sort of saying, all right, if Marvel are getting two and a half hours, I deserve at least three and a half. There's something very obnoxious about the Marvel movies as well. Because if you, what they
Starting point is 00:04:29 also make you do, so if you take Avengers Endgame, for example, that's three hours. I think it's basically three hours on the button. It's a blockbuster fucking entertainment movie, family movie, and it's three hours long. And then what they do is they put a key scene after the credits. So you have to stay to the very end of the credits even so it's like an insane
Starting point is 00:04:50 amount of time to be spending watching a movie of that type because there's not really any character development or anything that you know where it's like a plot twist or anything like that it's all pretty formulaic so i find it very very strange that it has to be quite so long especially given when you take into account they've got so many movies already commissioned and planned and all the rest of it it's not like they have to you know they have to pack it all in because i don't know when the next film's coming we should um have like a really long credits at the end of the podcast where we just say rory producer rory producer rory producer rory for about five minutes and then do a little kind of... What would be the bonus scene though?
Starting point is 00:05:28 I don't know. I don't know what we could possibly bring them that we're not already bringing them to be honest. We're firing on all of our cylinders. I say that we've just picked up recording again because I just turned everything off in my cabin. The apology cabin. The apology cabin. I thought I was turning
Starting point is 00:05:43 off the doorbell. I was I was turning off the doorbell I was actually just turning off My computer, my camera My microphone sound card The doorbell The doorbell did get a turning off And then we had to wait for about 10 minutes For me to come back
Starting point is 00:05:57 Because Windows updates are always waiting for you When you least expect them They are waiting for you And they are going to pounce because they need to be updated, baby. I don't use Windows, baby. Right. Yeah, there is that, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I could get on the Mac train, but I've already invested in graphics cards and big monitors and stuff and I think it would just... The apology cabinet is as perverted as it gets. To clamber out of the PC mind space
Starting point is 00:06:23 and clamber into the Mac mac workflow i just i just think it would work for me to be honest lukey that's a marvel movie isn't it what me leaving the leaving the leaving the pc there's one called to clamber out of the windows workspace the windows workspace anyway all i'm saying is we've said this before i think but it's slightly different way we said there's too many films before which there are but they're also very very long these days. Yeah, they are. I don't mind a 90 minute romp.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I'll take a 90 minute romp. I can fit that in no problem. I mean, no wonder there's a writer's strike. They're writing twice as much as they used to. Yeah. By the way, speaking of tele-visual entertainment,
Starting point is 00:06:57 have you been watching, I'm not going to spoil anyone, Pete's the spoiler guy, not me. Have you been watching Traitors? Not been watching Traitors not been watching Traitors you recommended it last week I think
Starting point is 00:07:07 and I've not I've not been effing with it so to speak but yeah by all accounts you can swear on this show if you want
Starting point is 00:07:13 everyone's either talking about it or they're talking about the new gladiators oh I haven't seen that yet is it good no is it
Starting point is 00:07:19 there's a big giant man who's like 6 foot 5 I think or maybe taller maybe 6'11 or something but he's a big muscle man but he's very'5", I think, or maybe taller. Maybe 6'11", or something, but he's a big muscle man, but he's very, very tall at the same time. Is that how they bill him on the poster? 6'5", or maybe taller?
Starting point is 00:07:31 You never know with wrestling-looking guys. But yeah, he should do wrestling, really, because he's absolutely ginormous and very muscular. But they did a joke where, I think, BBC Derby brought in one of the tall, I think he's called the Giant in the old Gladiators. He's got to be bigger than six foot five. If he's on Gladiators, he's called the Giant. Maybe he's 6'11", then.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Maybe he's 6'11". He's cracking on. He's cracking on, isn't he? But every time he would sign someone an autograph, he'd pass it over the desk, and then the paper would become incredibly large, pretending that we all live in a tiny world it was beautifully done oh so he's glad it apparently he's glad it has apparently got um a um a theme tune to come on to right what the giant are they each have each gladiator oh so it's like um it's like wrestling really isn't it you have your own theme yeah okay
Starting point is 00:08:25 but they're using like I mean oh one of them is Harry Akinzareti he used to be a sprinter for Great Britain right okay
Starting point is 00:08:33 I didn't know that he comes on to The Power by Snap which one's that one I don't know I don't know The Power right okay
Starting point is 00:08:43 nice but I mean like with themes like that, it's quite amusing that when the WWE would choose a theme for, like, WrestleMania, they would choose a theme and then they would have to, when it went on the network or when they released DVDs of it, they had to dub over the music that they originally used because every WrestleMania had a theme.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I think WrestleMania 2 was quite famously um uh easy lover by phil collins and it always makes me laugh whenever i think whenever i hear phil collins easy lover i think wrestlemania 2 um simply because like because it because easy love is about being you know free and easy and and and just like know, quite disposable, I think. Is that fair to say? Easy lover. And it's just basically saying that WrestleMania doesn't matter. It's just a piece of twaddle that'll sort of, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:33 that'll move on somewhere else. I thought it was like, it's like she's an easy lover, right? I thought it was like, yeah, she'll come over. She's very easy to love. No, no, she'll come over, but then she's going to go off with someone else later. Yeah, easy lover, yeah. So basically that's what they're saying about WrestleMania. They're saying that it's... But it's probably just a big hit, wasn't it? no she'll come over but then she's going to go off with someone else later yeah Easy Lover yeah so basically that's what they're saying about Wrestlemania
Starting point is 00:09:47 they're saying that it's it doesn't love you what does it say about WrestleMasaling it's not a tough guy theme is it it's just Easy Lover it's a ridiculous selection and the more and more I learn about Wrestlemania and wrestling back in the day from you guys
Starting point is 00:10:03 it's less surprising to me. But weirdly, Easy Lover came out in November 84 in the US and then February 85 in the UK. It's unimaginable to think of songs doing that now. Yeah. But it sold over a million copies in the US, that single. Did you say it went to the US first or the UK first? Yeah, it went to the US first, yeah. That's cheeky, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah, it's actually not just a Phil Collins song as well. It's apparently listed as a song by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins. Philip Bailey's a guy from Earth, Wind & Fire, isn't he? Oh, right. I didn't know that was the case, though. Phil Collins, is he a terrible guy? I don't think I've heard anything in particular. Tax exile, is he?
Starting point is 00:10:46 I don't know. They always seem to be that kind of thing. They always say that he divorced his wife by fax, yeah. But wouldn't, isn't it like one of those things where the truth is probably like quite, well, I had to serve some papers and she had a fax machine, so that's how you're getting them.
Starting point is 00:11:01 You know what I mean? Like, surely all divorces are done by email. There has to be some legal documentation involved in it, no? I'm reading, like, he's got a whole section on his Wikipedia just listed as criticism. I'll read you a couple of quotes. Historian Martin Strong wrote that Phil Collins' truly polarised opinion from the start
Starting point is 00:11:25 his ubiquitous smugness and increasingly sterile pop making him a favourite target for critics according to Guardian writer Paul Lester he would regularly call music journalists to take issue with negative reviews and over time he came to be personally disliked in the industry oh fantastic
Starting point is 00:11:41 there we go for people who know their music, I think they would respect Ria over a lot of people in his particular sort of genre, you would say. Ria did Drive Us Home for Christmas. He did, yeah, he did. He also did God's Great Banana Skin. You didn't recall that?
Starting point is 00:12:00 It's quite big in the road to hell. I don't know any of his other songs apart from that. God's Great Banana Skin. God's Great Banana Skin. God's Great Banana Skin. I remember it because they'd made a fake, I think, video game, like on Amiga times where Chris Rio would jump on platforms made of bananas
Starting point is 00:12:15 and I remember sort of thinking, well, look, he respects video games and that's all I have to say on that. Is that what it takes for you, is it? That wouldn't be like a bad kind of YouTube. Because basically retro video games are so big at the moment. And the bubble will probably burst pretty soon if it already hasn't on buying really expensive old stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:35 But there are so many creators, and I use creators very liberally on YouTube, where they just talk about forgotten, lost masterpieces from yesteryear back in the sort of 16-bit era. And I don't think I've ever seen anybody on YouTube talking about God's Great Banana Skin by Chris Rea. If you sort of did like a bit of YouTube artwork with the forgotten classic no one's talking about
Starting point is 00:13:01 and your face going, ah! And Chris Rea climbing on like a platform banana i wonder how i wonder how popular it would be and if i had more free time i think it would be surprisingly popular speaking of that the other day i was reading that um it got um revealed or kind of released that um david lynch had been commissioned by some indie game producer studio to make his own video game. Right, yeah. And the result was, as a
Starting point is 00:13:32 concept, was so weird they were like, we're not doing that. Do you believe that? Or was it just so... Well, apparently it was in 1998. It was a company called Synergy Interactive, a Japanese apparently right and he loved
Starting point is 00:13:47 the Japanese loved his stuff loved Lynch loved all of his stuff apparently he approached them right and he loved the game a previous game
Starting point is 00:13:56 that Synergy Interactive had made okay and he said he wanted to make a game with them and the game he came out with was a game called Woodcutters from the Fiery Ships
Starting point is 00:14:04 and the only the only confirmable concept of the thing that's been released is that you started off as a mystery game and you got taken away by wood cutters um and that nothing else was um revealed and then in 1999 synergy interactive announced that it had been cancelled because testing said that gamers found it overwhelmingly confusing and boring There's a guy in Japan who does
Starting point is 00:14:35 a couple of twin peaksy kind of games called Deadly Premonition and Deadly Premonition 2 and he's absolutely loopy as hell, but all of his stuff is basically like Twin Peaks but there's a lot of games that have been inspired by Lynch but yeah I hadn't heard that he'd made a, what was it, Synergy
Starting point is 00:14:51 Interactive and the game was called Woodcutters from the Fiery Ships I have no idea what it's about they're from Shinjuku, what games did they do before this the game that David Lynch apparently liked was called Gadget Invention Travel and Adventure.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I've never heard of that either. Gadget Invention. It was a... Oh, interesting. Oh, it was like a spooky sort of FMV video game, maybe. Yeah, I think so. Ah, interesting. Cool.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Anyway, Peter, let's take a break. When we come back, I want to read an email because our friend Declan in Glasgow has been in touch and he's got a little story for us and I'd like to read it to you. Lovely.

Starting point is 00:15:55 We're back with Luke and Pete's show, and we've got emails to give you. Luke, do you want to smash out a quick email for us? Yeah, I'll read one out for you. From the aforementioned Declan, who plays one of the bad guys in Breaking Bad From the aforementioned Declan, who plays one of the bad guys in Breaking Bad.
Starting point is 00:16:08 He's called Declan, isn't he, if you remember? Declan Donnelly from P.J. Donnelly. I actually saw Declan Donnelly in a pub in Chiswick once.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Oh, that's where he lives? It was the pub that years later, there was a story that broke that a couple of bullies got Ant McPartlin in a headlock in it.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Do you remember that story? Yes, I do remember that. Yeah, Ant McPartlin in a headlock in it. Do you remember that story? Yes. Ant McPartlin had a lot of issues didn't he? Right. One of them was headlocks. Constantly get... He's very troubled. He's constantly... Imagine if that's your thing. He's in a
Starting point is 00:16:40 bit of bother and he needs to... He's just always in a headlock. Just always in a headlock. He's just always in the headlock. He's always the headlock-y, never the headlock-er. He just wants to headlock one person. Oh dear.
Starting point is 00:16:51 He got busted. He, I didn't say he got busted, he had a problem with drinking, I think, to be fair to him. He went to the
Starting point is 00:16:59 police department and all sorts. Get someone in the headlock that can't drink. He pled guilty to drink driving, which is no good. He did. Don't advise that. No. Do you also know that they're single? get someone in a headlock that can't drink he pled guilty to drink driving which is no good no good he did
Starting point is 00:17:05 don't advise that no did you also know that their single Let's Get Ready To Rumble PJ and Duncan aka Ant and Dec
Starting point is 00:17:14 yeah they had to change the name of it right do you know that so it's called Let's Get Ready To Rumble is that Michael Buffer
Starting point is 00:17:21 exactly if you look at the artwork and the name of the song the rumble is spelt with an R-H honestly man that Michael Buffer? Exactly. If you look at the artwork and the name of the song, the rumble is spelt with an R-H. Honestly, man, that guy Buffer is stealing a fucking living. He rocks up at every wrestling event in the 90s, and he must be being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds just to turn up and read off a card.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Honestly, I think there's skill in everything, but Buffer, I just don't get it. What he's done, though, is he's got in there early. Yeah. I think they're skill in everything. But Buffer, I just don't get it. I just don't get it. What he's done, though, is he's got in there early. Yeah. Right? Yeah. He's trademarked Let's Get Ready to Rumble in the mid-'80s.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Got a federal trademark for it. And then basically dedicated his whole career in just saying it better than everyone else. Better. And apparently, he's made like half a billion. Yeah. Do it. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. so for those
Starting point is 00:18:06 that know the story just very quickly anton dangle pj nunkin 1994 released a song called let's get ready to rumble it's probably their most well-known single yeah um they then had to change it to let's get ready to rumble with an rh which they then said they then said oh we wanted to expect like that because it's um it's out of respect for the rumba, the dance, the rumba, which is obviously bullshit. But it turns out later on that it includes a sample of Michael Buffer,
Starting point is 00:18:33 which the record label encountered a lot of copyright problems. So they changed it, and in return for that, I think Buffer said that they could keep it in there. Honestly, I imagine if you, imagine if you imagine if like you are dealing with the anr not even the anr i guess just just you the head of emi whatever whoever revealed releases this this uk-based comedy novelty act um cd and you're faced with that
Starting point is 00:19:00 amount of even three emails would be too much work to get this piece of shit on the shelves. Were they a novelty act, Peter? Yeah, I think so. But they were, yeah, yeah, they were a novelty act. But imagine... 16 top 40 singles? I mean, that's astonishing. 16? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:16 What did they do? From 1993 all the way through to a re-release of Let's Get Ready to Rumble in 2013. Oh, there's a few re-releases in there. Surely they've done Ready to rumble about three times. Twice. Twice. So the top 40, they've had 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Sorry, the 16th single only got to number 62. Right, okay. But I mean, it's bigger than you think. Yeah, yeah. Are you sticking with a novelty act, Monica? Yeah, I would. Because at the end of the day, the thing you're going to create is a single
Starting point is 00:19:49 with PJ and Duncan in it. Like you're going to do Ready to Rumble. If you're getting into legal strife, there's some kids just, you know, chanting along with a backing track. It must be pretty annoying to have to kind of... And also, the UK's so small. How much money are you really making out of that
Starting point is 00:20:05 in the global scale of things? I reckon in the 90s, they would have made a bit of wedge, wouldn't they? Yeah, but not compared to Madonna, is it? What's the point of even trying? Think of all the licences you get just on the Now albums. Exactly, true, true, true, true.
Starting point is 00:20:18 They were huge. I remember taking Now That's What I Call Music, I want to say, 13, into my school disco at junior school because you were allowed to take tapes in and choose a song each. So I took Now That's What I Call Music 13. Ah.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And I can't remember the song I chose off it, but it was, yeah, I would love to remember that, actually. But anyway, we're getting sidetracked. Declan Rice, not a Declan. Anyway, our friend Declan's been in touch. He's emailed. And the email goes as follows.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Hi, gents. Last week, Luke asked Pete about the worst thing he ever did at school, which was, Peter, you punched someone. I tried to attack a boy. He punched me in the fist. So, yeah. That's right. Who was the boy again?
Starting point is 00:21:01 Peter Carley. How long did you think his name was gonna be took a drink of water listen i just filled for about three minutes earlier because you actually turned your computer off so you can suck that one up big boy fuck you now anyway um declan says back in home economics class when i was about 13 we had a recipe that required trimming and discarding the fat from several pieces of bacon right never on your watchdance and you'd be snaffling that i'll be up so i'm a i'm a pig i'm ironically a pig for snaffling uh bits of bacon when people cut off fat from bacon i'm
Starting point is 00:21:37 straight in there i love it yeah he sniffs it out it sniffs it out dexter says being on the bench with my best mate we of course promptly rolled the fat rinds into a ball and began throwing it at each other as hard as we could whenever the teacher's back was turned. After all the fun the fat ball ended up on the floor in the corner of the room thick with dirt and dust from rolling
Starting point is 00:21:58 around the floor. Oh my god you're going to get ants. That's the most disgusting thing. If you want ants you're going to get ants. Come on. Then comes the next class a week later, and against all odds, our bacon ball was still sitting in the corner, looking rather worse for wear. This week, we're cooking a Victoria sponge. Our benchmate, Vegetarian Kathleen,
Starting point is 00:22:19 I don't think that was her full name, wasn't it? She's Kathleen, she's a vegetarian, had just made a beautiful batter, and is approaching her preheated oven, ready to bake a delicious treat to take home to her beaming proud mother. Cue the madness within me and after she opens the oven door, but before
Starting point is 00:22:33 she releases the cake, I toss the bacon ball and watch in slow motions it sails through the air and plops right into her cake tin. She doesn't notice and in goes the bacon fat Victoria sponge and the door shuts. I didn't notice and in goes the bacon fat Victoria sponge and the door shuts. I didn't have the heart to tell her
Starting point is 00:22:48 or to wait around the end of class to see the results. I still feel horrible nearly 20 years later. Keep up the good work. Love the pod. Declan in Glasgow. Declan, that is absolutely one of the most rank emails we've had.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Because like, you wouldn't be able, the fat would melt and you wouldn't be able... The fat would melt, and you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell what the hell had gone on here. Tastes very salty, wouldn't it? You'd be like, how is there so much fat? How is there so much... And dust.
Starting point is 00:23:15 How have they balled up? It tastes like bacon. How is it... I'm just... I had so many questions. Fantastic, Declan. I would love to hear from Kathleen. Yeah, I would too. I want to know about... She sounds
Starting point is 00:23:28 like a bit of a character because she's... Declan's about our age. Yeah. This is probably in the 90s. Yeah. They get as many vegetarians in the 90s. No. And when you're young and you're a vegetarian I think it's always seen as a bit of an affectation. But nobody deserves a bacon ball in their... No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Do you know what it reminds me of? I wonder what your thoughts are on this so there is an episode of ramsay's kitchen nightmares uk right there's always an episode i can relate things to and it's an italian restaurant and obviously it's down it's lark and it's crap and so he goes in to try and sort it out one of the things he does is he makes the owner chef the two other chefs i think are one of the waiters or something all cook a pizza and he says the best pizza as judged by the team will go on the menu tonight right like a little team building thing and he you know gets them doing stuff he then gets people off the street to judge the pizzas um and um one of the people that comes in is a vegetarian. It's made very clear on the show that he's a vegetarian, and he says he's a vegetarian,
Starting point is 00:24:30 and I'll set the scene for you. He's a white man with dreadlocks. Right. Then Ramsay feeds them the pizzas, and they all choose their favorite one, and the vegetarian guy chooses one, and then turns out it's got Parma ham in it right then rams is a great joke of turning it telling the guy that oh actually i have parma ham on it isn't that funny
Starting point is 00:24:50 sorry about that and the guy actually leaves that restaurant he looks quite upset i wonder if you get away with that now uh no i i think i don't think you'd i mean that's a lawsuit surely isn't it is it i mean yeah you can't force feed people what if like what if it's a religious exemption as well like it's a hate crime
Starting point is 00:25:10 I mean you can't be doing that that's wild well he has done it and it's in the show yeah I mean go watch it on all four right now
Starting point is 00:25:16 I mean to be honest if you're up in the court white man with dreadlocks I think the judge has every right to sort of go I'm not listening to any of this
Starting point is 00:25:23 get out I don't think I'm a very sympathetic jury. No, exactly, yeah. Yeah, there's certain, there's a reason why people make you wear like a suit to court. But if you're turning up with white man dreadlocks, I'm sorry. Have you ever been asked
Starting point is 00:25:37 to do jury duty, by the way? No, no. I always think I could do a really cool job of it. It comes up a lot in the US. I think it's because breakers is more crime. Yeah, probably. But I think I could do a really cool job of it. It comes up a lot in the US. I think it's because breakers is more crime. Yeah, probably. But I think... Also because I think civil suits in the US,
Starting point is 00:25:51 I think for the most part also have juries where we don't hear. Could we get out of... Yeah, they do. If there's like really small reasons for people to get in. Would we, as owners of a business, could we just give ourselves...
Starting point is 00:26:04 Could we just start saying we're not doing it because that's I think it's quite nice to do it well every single person that I know just record it there's a podcast
Starting point is 00:26:11 true crime every person I know who's ever done it has worked like for radio and stuff and their boss has just emailed going we literally cannot do without
Starting point is 00:26:21 the man we do without for a month every year because it's a holiday for six days a week absolutely ridiculous yeah I think literally cannot do without the man we do without for a month every year because of holiday. For six days a week. Absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, I think, I see it as, one, your civic duty, one of the cornerstones of a functioning democracy, therefore you should do it. And two, if it was an interesting case, I think I'd like to do it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Massively, the Scranton Strangler, I'd be well up for it. Absolutely. You'd want a juicy case, though, wouldn't you? Yeah. I wouldn't want a kind of, ah, so on and so forth. A boring old car crash. I want proper stuff. It'd be a juicy case, though, wouldn't you? Yeah. I wouldn't want a kind of... A boring old car crash. I want proper stuff. It has to be a criminal thing, though.
Starting point is 00:26:48 So it would be fairly serious by its nature. I suppose it could be quite harrowing if you're not careful. I think my ex did one. A murder case, I seem to recall. It's probably your case, and that's why she's your ex. It was the arse end of our relationship. I forgot about that. It was quite emotional at the time, I seem to recall. Oh, well. Never mind. Anyway, don't recall oh well never mind anyway we've run out of time so let's get out of here let's go out
