Is that my throat making that noise? It's the Look-A-Peat Show! Sounding Mongolian! Is that my throat making that noise? Well it's all went crack! I'm constantly worried about my voice going... What, because of your poor lifestyle, bad diet? All of those things, only above in every single section. You might do a Steven Tyler. Yeah, good point actually, yeah. Well, I'd like you to clarify that. Specifically with the Larrins. Thank you very

much, yeah. A lot of rock stars around about their kind of vintage can't really do it anymore because they haven't sort of move their songs down a register to be able to sing. Bob Jovi's been on Blocks for Ages. Has it? Okay, because I remember, do you remember the old Led Zeppelin reunion show? Yeah. It was about 15 years ago now. Right. Did they have to transpose? I didn't go. They only did one show at the O2, I think.

Right. But a couple of people I was working with at the time, I think, did I think they were saying that you know, those notes, some notes are not being hit. Right, okay. Which is fair enough. That is fair enough. I very much, a bit of Corey Feldman, I've seen him recently doing his, you know he's got like a Michael Jackson style sort of display slash show where he ends playing quite a lot of guitar. Right.

He seems to know his way around the guitar. I'm sure he does. But he seems to, I'm saying he embellishes half notes by absolutely axing it at any situation. It's a fascinating character. But I did see one of my favorite viral TikToks slash Instagram posts this week was a woman in a guitar center, right? Who was doing, playing like big riffs, big solos and stuff, but just getting them a little bit wrong, deliberately until a man turns up and starts asking questions. How long did it take? I mean she got through quite a few little runs

before it became quite obvious. So she was deliberately getting the note or two out of the way? She was deliberately getting... I've got a bit of sound here, hang on. Yeah, nice, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Blink 182 there. Yeah. Just getting a little bit wrong.

And then a man comes over and says, are you Chinese? Like, just like, just, just, just starts talking. So like the woman who was practicing her golf swing at a driving range. No. Okay. She's really good, really good golf presumably. Well, she's like a top level pro. And she's basically driving.

She's not doing it on purpose. She's playing. She's filming herself. Just living a life. She's just good at golf, presumably. Well, she's like a top level pro. She's not doing it on purpose. She's filming herself. Just living her life. She's filming herself because I think she wanted to work on some certain aspects of a swing or whatever. And this guy just comes over and is like, oh, if you thought about doing this, thought about doing that. To be fair to her, she's like, thanks, but I'm just working some stuff. I didn't say anything. This guy's like a

basic average Joe right and she's like a top level pro yeah. It went viral a while ago yeah. I know a lot of them are like a um they're casting a net to a certain extent but yeah those kind of videos but I do oh god. But my feeling on it is just a bit like I don't know if it's a generational thing or just the way I am, but why are you getting involved? I know, it's chatting up as well I suppose, it's kind of like an in for people and stuff, but if that's your only salvo. Well they think it's an icebreaker. Yeah, some men do though don't they? They do think that like a bit of advice, a word in the ear is a way of getting into your

heart. Just spend a day with my wife. Just spend a day talking to any woman and you'll find out that's how their life has been lived. I've been married eight years now and I don't think I've ever successfully delivered any piece of advice. No. Good point. Because she doesn't need me. Doesn't need me.

Doesn't need it. She's fine without me. she doesn't need me. Doesn't need me. Doesn't need it. Absolutely fine. She's fine without me. In her life. One of my favourite new TikTok slash YouTube is legitimate linguistic experts taking these polyglots to task these viral polyglots. We talked about this. Yeah.

People claim they can speak loads of language, we don't think they can. What are these guys who are genuinely qualified about it saying? So the guy, like, just snake oil, just absolute snake oil. So this guy, the guy who thinks he can, who purports to be able to speak 100 languages or 50 languages and then like 50 non fluently or whatever, he says it is all utter bullshit. And there's one that went really viral, I think last year or the year before, and there's one that went really viral last year or the year before and he's just been constantly learning new little tricks to trick people. He's a little boy, little cute little boy who basically goes into Chinese restaurants and speaks Cantonese

or Mandarin. But is he actually doing it? He's doing it up to a point. So he knows enough. But I think the actual polyglot, the guy would not even call himself a polyglot, he calls himself a linguistic professor. Yeah, because a lot of people think polyglots can't exist. Yeah, so the list of linguists I've basically gone through and gone, you'll notice that a lot of jump cuts, can't see the mouth a lot of the time, so there might be some reruns there with audio. You

will notice that they railroad to fuck the person they're talking to. Right. In what way? What do you mean? Just keep asking questions. No matter what the other person say, just keep asking questions that you can interpret the answer to quite easily. Do you know what I mean? How long have you lived here? Do you live here? Where do you come from in China? All that stuff. Also, just talking about food, just talking about you being good at the language, learning the language about you, talking about you, where you learnt the language, how you learnt the language, all that stuff. And just real...

Just what are you doing in Japan? And just, no, I just order beers. That's it. But yeah, it's just all that really. And it's just fascinating. I just say sorry all the time. Because a lot of people can speak several languages, right? So Andy, our mate Andy, But yeah, it's just all that really. And it's just fascinating. I just say sorry all the time. Because a lot of people can speak several languages, right? So Andy can speak a few, right? And he can because he's seen it. But the sort of men and women who can actually speak a lot of languages never sort of say,

would never call themselves a polyglot. No, right. And I think a lot of the quote unquote famous polyglots are the 50 language types. They all lived in like medieval England. They're all working as like envoys of the Pope in like the 17th century or something when there was no actual way of checking it. And most of the population didn't have an education. Some of these polyglots as well, they were literally, as soon as like a new language, like sorry, as soon as a language dies with the last remaining speaker of it, they'll sort of go, yeah, I can speak that.

I did that one, yeah. And he sort of made the point, that is so disrespectful to the person who just died. So disrespectful to their culture. It is the worst, it is trampling on their memory and the legacy of their... I won't be disrespectful, but I'll be disrespectful in Aramaic. Don't mind. I had an idea for a TV show similar to this, but it's not language based. Whereas I like, just tell me and people listening will be able to tell me if I've completely forgot that this actually exists. But like, I think a good idea for a TV show and if they've already done it, they should

bring it back, is you get say a handful of people to say like me, you, Bucks and Jim have just done a roundabout to them. Right. Right. And you give them a week to learn something. Yeah. Right. So it's like, say just for ease of reference, being a car mechanic, right. And then once you've had your week, you can spend that week however you want. Um, you then go and do a day, each of you, at a separate car mechanics and the car mechanic company know about it and you work as an employee and the person who doesn't get found out the longest by the customers wins. But you could apply it to anything. Doctor. Probably not doctor. But like, probably not airline pilot. But like, but

you know- But are you getting found out that you can't speak the language or are you getting found out that you're- No, that you can't do the job. Can't do the job. Right, okay. It's not for the doer language. Right, okay. So what I'm saying is, the scenario is, you've been doing this thing for a week, you might

have a few car mechanic kind of skills yourself already. I come to you as a customer and I say, please fix my car. I'm a legitimate customer and we can sort out the recompense later. You get looked after later or whatever. It's just TV. And you have to go as long as you can without being a mechanic. How long do you reckon you could go for? I reckon with the knowledge I've got now as car mechanic, I could clear cords on a car if I had the right tools. So if it comes in with an engine light- So you're already sounding good. I don't even know what that stuff means.

So like, you know when the engine light comes on, that's just sort of going, hey, something's going on, run the code reader, it'll tell you precisely what is wrong with your car. But you can choose to either disconnect the battery and reconnect it, which will probably clear it. Or you can basically tell the computer, the ECU, sort of just ignore those lights for a bit. And if they come back on, it's's an issue but it may just be an aberration or something. Did you think you'd be quite good? No, I could clear the codes, as soon as they get off the forecourt the lights are going to come back on. So in many ways that could just be, and to anyone who doesn't really know cars, and I don't really know cars,

they probably think that that's like fixed, but something else has gone wrong. But my interest in the idea, and you could extrapolate it to say, I don't know, builder or carpenter. I don't know if there's any hiding in carpentry. Someone wants a hot tub put in their garden. Right, plumbing, no hiding there. Water will appear. But what I'm interested in, so plumbing to fix something, fine. Right.

But say a project. Yeah, so probably to fix something, fine. Right. But say, um, a project. Yeah. Hot stuff in the garden, right? The reason I'm interested in this as an idea is because I think there's a really big dynamic at play and the big dynamic at play is that person who turns up that you've called around to do this has got all the power. Yeah. So even someone who's confident like me, outwardly, I'm second guessing what I'm saying when I'm asking questions. And I'm probably, unless it's ridiculous, going to

go along with it. Will Barron I would also say that a lot of those kind of like high value machines, like a car or a, like a boat or even a hot tub, they come with instructions and they come with very detailed manuals about how to deal with certain things and parts have to be ordered so that buys you a bit more time. And so there's a lot of stuff and there's a lot on YouTube as well because cars, if you drive a car into a garage, I'm not, obviously I can't do any of this stuff, but there's a lot of stuff online, but also as a mechanic you won't have seen that specific car and

that might have very specific needs that you need to take into account. So there are car manuals, repair manuals that allow you to sort of fix things properly. That's how it used to work with the Hayes manual. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You don't sort of see them anymore. What about a slight twist then? What about then almost like an apprentice style thing?

They do this in one of the rounds of the apprentice, but they're terrible at it because obviously they're shit. And also the edit is there for entertainment reasons. Say, Tara London, right? You've got a week to slot in as a tour guide. And then at the end of the week, all the customers are going to say you had four tour guides, which one of them isn't real. You can bluff your way through that. I would say no, I could definitely do that. Yeah. I think you could do that. Yeah. I would also sort of say that, um, I don't speak, even when I know about a subject, I don't speak deliberately enough to sound like I know about this. You could do your own medieval thing. Can you do a medieval thing?

I could do my friend, my friend, right? My best friend, I know he listens to this show, so I might as well name him. He wants more of you. Yeah, I know he's mental. He, he, the first. And Sarah listens, I'm like, why do you need more of this? Me, me does not listen.

My friend Duncan, right? We all want to move to London. Yeah. And he, before, basically before we moved to London, he was living at home back on the South Coast where we're from. And he did a history degree. Yeah. And, um, he before, basically before we moved to London, he was living at home back on the South coast where we're from and he did a history degree. Yeah. And he got a job basically as a cosplaying guy at Hampton court. Okay. Nice. Yeah. I could see him as a guard or something. Dressing up and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And, um, he

used to, it was obviously terrible and it was hard and like it's fucking tedious because you have to be in character all the time. But I reckon in the right circumstances, I reckon I could flourish in that role. I reckon I could do that. Obviously Big Henry the Eighth these days. I could do, because the problem is I wouldn't know any of the names of the characters. You've got to learn that shit. You've got to learn that shit. I'd just be making names up. In a way that's kind of a bit like learning the language because they probably speak in

a certain way. And, and it's always English. See my sister, obviously I told you before, my sister was a Disney character for years and, but she was only, I think the only character where she was actually herself was Maleficent, right? Where you're not got a big mask on. Yeah. Yeah. And it's pretty full on. You know, you're certain things you're allowed to do and certain things you can't do. And it's pretty- Oh, I can imagine there's a style guide that you have to- Pretty zero tolerance and stuff, yeah. If you sort of work with any of the IP

of like a big company like Nintendo or Disney, you can, you have so much oversight to everything you do. We're talking like sizes of characters you can put on a magazine or whatever. Right. Like ratios, what that character can be doing. Colors. Colors, yeah, colour reproduction's a big deal as well because, what that character can be doing, what they can't be colour, colour reproduction is a big deal as well because you know these colours are

iconic and they should be the same every time. How to guarantee that? Wow. So big job. Big job. Isn't there a Nintendo World launching in Disney or the University of Shea? Yeah, there's one in LA and I think there's one in, certainly one in Kyoto. They were building one in Florida when I was last there. I think it's... The Nintendo one in Japan is like...

It's impressive but it's quite small. So I imagine they'll probably make it bigger for... The Tokyo Disneyland's supposed to be amazing, isn't it? Yeah. They've got Disney Sea, haven't they? Well, I've sort of... Sometimes you just sort of see depictions of the characters that are like specific to Japan.

You don't see them anywhere else. And like, like Mickey Mouse is all wrong. Like it looks all wrong and weird. It's like, it's just, it doesn't look like Mickey Mouse. They just have, they just have license to sort of mess around a little bit because they probably see like it's a bit of an island nation. And as long as it doesn't sort of go anywhere else, it's a, yeah, it's just really weird. But the, like a hooky ice cream van. Yeah. They just paint, or like a hooky ice cream van. Yeah. They just pay like a traveling

fun fair. Yeah. They just paint representations of things on the side. Yeah. Like that stuff like that. Like wacky Mickey Mouse character. Like you never see that. That's really weird. They're allowed to do that. Yeah. Really weird. License like licensed by Disney, like weird Mickey Mouse merchandise that you only ever see out East. Cubic Mouth Disney, I believe it's called. Cubic Mouth Disney. Yeah, by Satoshi Fumihara. The artist behind the MTV animated series The World of Golden Eggs. On that note, should we have a break and come back and do some batteries? This is Mickey Mouse Vibrator. Oh for fuck's sake. It's a look at page show and every single Thursday we talk about all things batteries.

We've had loads of battery spots kicking around haven't we? Yeah we have. I'm just getting up the email account so I can make sure that we've got the up to date information. Alright. I'll check in on my Deliveroo then. Why do you always order Deliveroo to the office? Because I'm hungry! I'm not going to eat for another three hours if I don't eat soon. But we're working.

I'm going to die Luke! Last time I ordered gonna die Luke. You need to, you need to. Last time I ordered delivery the man just nicked off with it. He did actually didn't he? He did yeah, we were having a meeting and he just nicked off. The problem is you're not doing things at the normal time for meals. I haven't eaten, I've only eaten a banana and I'm a little boy, I need to be a bigger boy. Yeah you're never gonna be a bigger boy.

Never gonna be a bigger boy. Before we get into the main one, can I just offer something up, courtesy of my father-in-law, LC, who sent in, he said, I found these in the torch that we brought home from school. Big decals. He works at a school. Can you look and see if you've had them before? They are School Smart. School Smart. I checked with producer Taylor, who's not here today, and she said to me that they are new players. So if they are, LC's officially got a new player to enter the game and he's got his

place in the battery daddy. LC. I think he has. I can't see him anywhere else. Great work. So congratulations to you. Great man, great work. A fine 3D printerer.

Yes he is. He's got a massive 3D printer now. He did a big Darth Vader helmet on it. Whoa, what? All in pieces presumably. I'm going to show you it right now. Show me your helmet for crying out loud. Let's find it. The amount of 3D printers that are available on Facebook Marketplace that I think about buying,

I've got no cause for it. It's actually a Mandalorian helmet. Oh yeah, that's smooth. Is he sanded that down? And look at the stuff he's printing it on And that one and that one Yeah Do you know what I'd love? What are those big baths of acid? That you can throw any

like Car in and it just takes all the paint off. Yeah. Or one of those hydro painting sort of stations. You know when you like you but you get a bath of water, big bath of water, and if you want to like make something like get like a transfer of a picture onto something that's a bit like metallic or whatever, yeah, like you spray paint it or somehow get it onto the surface of the water and then you just dip it as quick as you can. That's the coolest thing ever. I want to do that. They do that a lot with like paisley pattern and like yeah that kind of stuff.

I feel that looks to me like... It's imprecise. Yeah when you see a video of that... You submerge it and then you shake it. But they must know what they're doing. Yeah, don't have that technique anyway. Yeah, it's not going to work like that if you're doing it. It's not as good as a lot of videos where you see Indian street food places where they're whipping up food so quick and so accurately and they're throwing it between each other and stuff and you're

like, okay, that's cool. That's years and years of... You and I aren't going to be able to bluff our way through that after a week. No, no, true. Other men in India who do street-based lead acid battery repair. Mmm. I don't want to do that. No way. Don't want to do that. Let's do batteries.

All right, Josh's got in touch. Hello, Josh. I recently bought an R2D2 alarm clock off of Vinted for my six-year-old. Vinted is just becoming a big part of everyone's lives. Tell you what, on Monday I'm going to tell you that I sold something else on Facebook Marketplace. Oh lovely. Found these new LIDAR. LIDAR, extra heavy duty within. Interestingly R2D2 takes not only AAA but also has an LR44 button battery which is a frustrating

discovery made by switching out the AAA. Got an extra little lithium battery, I wonder what it was for? Is that for a clock or something or something that remembers something? You know that bubble machine you bought for my son's first birthday? Yes. 10 AA's. What? Cheers for that.

10? 10 AA batteries. What is it powering? How long does it go for? It's a motor. It's not 10. It's 10! 10? The Wi-Fi of Access who It's a motor. It's not ten. It's ten! Ten?

The Wi-Fi of Access to specifically told me to criticise you for it. Ten double A's! It's a very kind present, but it takes ten double A's! It wasn't that big! Ten double A's! Mate. Look at fucking... Trust. Look at fucking Tesla!

Anyway, I fear these are not new players as they sound common, although I can't remember hearing them, but I'm prepared to be chastised by the battery aficionados in search of a further battery. Look, it's a nice email, Josh, thanks for getting in touch. New leader, you're not getting anywhere near it. 27 people have sent those in already, mate. Beautifully displayed though, in the hands of some kind of futuristic sub-aqua sort of digger you've made in Lego. And that's how you've made the cart.

Fan-flipping-tastic. Anyway, Adrian's got in touch. Alright lads, it's been a little while since I last contacted you. I've in fact been out searching the glow for a new player and after months I think I've finally found one. I present to you Coles Advanced Plus Triple A's. Coles Advanced Plus Triple A's. And they've sent a picture and it looks like some kind of Peppa Pig chewed up flip-thorn? Flip-thorn? Yeah, it looks like a Peppa Pig flip-thorn. So I need a reading from you on this Pete, they are on paper a new player, but Coles I believe is a department store.

Ah fuck it, all bets are off now, we're very much into our store bought shop licensed batteries these days. New player, new player, congratulations. Lovely, all right then, let's move on to our final opportunity for battery victory this week. Mike, hi there, look at the P to hope you're well day one listener, long time battery fan, allow me to present to you some submissions that will hopefully go on to be a new player for the Battery Daddy. I bought a pack of four cheap orthometers from China. Upon arrival, none of them lasted any more than 12 days before a

battery replacement was necessary. After a quick trip to Poundland, I returned home with a pack of four Duracell CR2032s. I imagined my surprise when I popped out of the box off these temporary temperature devices to discover three of the original batteries were identical and one was from a different brand. Behold! Nectium. And WinPow's. Possibly WinPow S. Nectium. So basically, producer Taylor's put in there that it's a behold branded battery, which it isn't. Nectium, they're brand new players.

No one's set Nectium in before. What's the other one? What was the last one? Was... Wind Pals? Yeah, yeah. He's also got a Chao Chuan, a button battery, CR163232 from a tire pressure monitoring system sensor from the wheel of my Ford Fiesta. You get little sensors in wheels these days to tell you about

it. It's fascinating. Sensors everywhere in cars. All three of those are brand new players. So, Nectium, WinPow and Chao Chang are all new players. And we are only accepting these new style of sort of button batteries because they were printed in the logo of the company on top of the battery. If this was just a simple kind of, you know, sans serif font, we're not having it, but it did look like there was a bit of artistry to the button battery. So we're playing with the form a little bit, but I think that's absolutely fine.

Do you know what, shall I just squeeze in my Facebook marketplace story? Go on then. Tell us about Facebook marketplace. What have you been up to? What have you been selling? Can I buy it? I managed to sell a buggy on Facebook marketplace. Okay. Um, guess how much I was able to sell it for? How much was the RRP? 900.

Wow. Was this the one you offered to those poor people that you, uh, you got on board with? Yes, it was. Right. In your house. Can you just rephrase that? I didn't offer some poor people. They weren't poor people. There were people who were experiencing a poor relationship with someone who just sold them something. You were the poor seller.

Well, no. Okay. I don't think poor is in paupers. I'm saying poor is in brow-beaten by your sales vernacular. Yes, more accurate. Acceptable. I sold some people a few months ago. Baby, uh, brow beating by your sales, uh, vernacular. Yes. More accurate. Acceptable. Okay. I sold some people a few months ago, a baby beyond baby bouncer. Too many B's. Too many B's.

And they were expecting, they were expecting couple. And I said, just shooting the shit with them. They were, they were kind of no nonsense. That's a baby bouncer. That's the one we wanted. That's the same as a photo. Here's the money. See you later. We got chatting. Yeah. You grabbed the woman's wrist. I said, no, I did not do that. Yeah, cause she was playing like a guitar solo, wrong? No, I said to her, what other stuff are you in the market for?

You must be, how far along the journey of buying all these things you need to buy to become a parent, have you done? And she said, we're looking for a buggy. And I was like, fucking stay there. Run into the house, got the buggy, I said, do you want this one? 900 quid with all the accessories. It's more than that. I'll give, fucking stay there. Run into the house, got the buggy, I said, do you want this one? 900 quid with all the accessories, it's more than that, I'll give it to you 300.

And they said, oh no, we just wanna have a little look around, thanks anyway, we'll let you know kind of thing. I said, I am gonna list it, so let me know, and I didn't hear from them again, fine. Obviously the joke's on me, cause I didn't list it, cause I'm too busy. So I only listed it on Sunday. Did you list it for 300?

I listed it on Sunday for 300. Guess what I only listed it on Sunday. Did you list it for 300? I listed it on Sunday for 300. Right. Guess what I got for it? 290? 300. Really? You just came and you found yourself a little Donaldson. No, I wish I had, but no, but I did the one thing that you will never do. Sold you baby. The one thing you would never do. No, I stood my ground. Right. Okay. So let me tell you the story. They said, isn't the best you can do. I thought, yep, 300. I've got to be careful here because they haven't asked to be on a podcast.

Right. They've not been named, so it's fine. I'm going to find them. They turned up the couple with one of their parents. There's four of them against me. Okay. I know what they're doing. You're sat in the stroller. Four on me. Okay. I know what they're doing. You're sat in the stroller. Four on one is it? I know what you're doing. Yeah. I dressed

as a baby. You're going please take my little stroller. So first of all, textbook negotiation tactic. Right. Go out there with the buggy. Nice to see everything. Smoking a cigar. Wet myself. He's going to do that. What's the baby going to have done to it? So it came with the bassinet, which is great for a newborn. It came with the, I can't really call it, but the one above that, which we would be using for our son now, but we don't use it anymore. Foot muff. Right.

Drinks holder. Yeah. Rain cover. Oh, nice. So you've got a foot muff and a rain cover. Everything's in there. Perfect for the inclement weather. It's also bugaboo. So it's top level. Punchy, yeah. Top level brand. Someone was earning. And, and, well, someone, someone, yeah. We, we, um. Someone was silly. Yeah. We, we, um, I thought, in fact, I think it was a gift. Right. It was a gift from the great LC. You know, push them around in one of those little yellow and red Kettys cars things. No, he's got a travel buggy now. Anyway, so I said to them, they said, oh, can we have a look at it? Of course you can. Yeah. Does it all work? Of course it does.

I'll show you it all. Built it all for them. Showed them how to do it. I've also thrown the manual in there. Oh, you've kept the manual. You're a better man than me. That got straight on the fire. Four other people wanted it. So I went to the person who got in touch first. I thought it was the fairest way of doing it, right? What are you willing to do for it? No, Peter, stop trying to derail this with horrible stuff. What are you willing to do for it?

I've got the position of power here, right? Yeah, yeah. You bought the bugaboo baby bouncer bubba bubba. And I also know that I have got other, um, I have got lover other buyers lined up. Yeah. So that's fine. Yeah. So I said, baby, baby, baby, bububu buyers.

Yeah. I've got baby buyers, baby buggy. Bassinet baby buggy buyers. Bassinet. Um, I said, sure been in it. I, um, I said to them, but I couched it in like a friendly way. I said, if it's not for you, I'm not going to put the hard sell on you. Just so you know, I put it on Facebook marketplace. Loads of people want it. These things don't come up very often. So don't worry too much

about it if you don't want it. But then the mom of the family's like, a little bit faded on top. Right. Okay. Yeah. It's secondhand. Yeah. We've used it. It's secondhand. You're getting it for a third of the price. Let's agree on that. Take the wrap off, get some derail on. Oh, there's a little stain on that. It's machine washable. So you want to put it right there. I've cleaned everything else I can clean. I'm not going to machine wash it because it'll take ages to dry. That's you can take that if you want. Could you do a bit of discount for this? Nope. I just went no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. The cash was handed over. I felt good about it. Yeah. And they should feel good about

it. Because they got a great product at a great price. And we'd been a bit of what, stick it, stick the covers in the washing machine. Couple of days, you'd write it in the rain. And there wasn't even anything wrong with it. No. Like genuinely, it was a good deal. Everyone wins. But the more you say that, the more you sound like it isn't a good deal. Right. Do you know what I mean? Cause you keep pushing it. They say the devil's not turning up to a deal as the devil, is he? Cause no one will do a deal with him. So it looks like you're trying to sell them, but you're not. And it was, it's quite exhilarating. Your Ben comes out, he's got a broken leg.

It's just some stairs. What? I didn't say stairs. What? What? It's funny. I've actually never met that baby. This is my landlord. The, the, the, the feeling, I'll tell you what, something about modern life. Look at your little, you are exhilarating. You're pre-apic with excitement.

I can see why you're into it now. The one thing I won't do is I won't go and buy loads of stuff I don't need off Facebook marketplace. I don't think I'm in the game to buy. I think I put more stuff into the system than I take out. I sold some memory sticks on the ebay. Got a set. How many times do you go about deleting them? Ram chips, it's it's it's really it's it's resident. You know, it's really How can it be read-only memory actually ram doesn't make any sense is it you're on your own here?

Read no, it's not read-only memory. It's it's a rom is read-only memory. Yeah random access. That's it. Of course. Good god But yeah, what I'm saying is you haven't left any information on it. I hope not. hope. I'm sure there is some way of kind of retrieving shadows, but yeah. Who knows? But yeah, sold them. Couldn't find them. Oh, shit. Sold them. They couldn't find them. So how did you get a photo of them if you didn't find them? They were just pretty generic dims to be honest. DDR4. So what did you do after cancer the sale? Yeah, I said, sorry mate, I can come up for the life of me found in my mind I found it very hard to focus on recording so because all I'm thinking about is what I can sell next. Yeah

Is it one for the one of those big Stanley Cup, not Stanley Cup. Yeah Stanley Cup isn't it? No? Yes, basically yes.
