Three Bean Salad - Canada

Episode Date: July 20, 2022

George of Canada has drawn inspiration from the fact he’s in Canada and picked the theme of “Canada” for the beans this week. Little could he have imagined he’d prompt a nation-ruining exposé as the beans unveil the gris(zz)ly truth about SBAJ!Join our PATREON for ad-free episodes and a monthly bonus episode: www.patreon.com/threebeansaladLivestream tickets for our show in September: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/online-three-bean-salad/Get in touch:[e-mail]@beansaladpod

Next week, we might be podcasting in a heatwave. I feel like we are now. I know, it's going to get worse though. This is this is much more bearable than what's gonna be like next week. It's going to be get forget frying in a new car. Do you know what I mean? Try laying one. It'll be you're poaching it in the glovebox. You'll be you'll be frying your car on the pavement. The the egg will just be a side dish to flambéed car. Yeah, it's going to get it's going

to get really rough, isn't it? I mean, maybe we should record live from the sea. I fancy that. You know what? I've got a little chapter two of my of the story from a few weeks ago about my neighbor with the outdoor pool. Oh, really? Oh, okay. Do it. Okay. Can I just give an update to this? Since you may have listened to that. So the story was that your next one neighbor's got an outdoor. Is it like a hot tub or is it a paddling pool? It's a deep paddling pool.

Imagine if a swimming pool was circular but then raised out of the ground, but but maintaining its perimeter. I know the time. Yeah. Okay. So it's a very, very massive soft mug with no handle. Full of water and teenagers sort of sports direct mug size. Yeah, exactly. And basically, it was full of teenagers engaging in hijinks. That's right. After bedtime on a school night as well, possibly school night well after bedtime to 3am. I I texted the lady of the house the mother a

day later and dealt with it quite well. You were polite. I put as polite. I shared the text with you guys. You guys approved to mention hijinks. I was very like I was there was a hint of a threat. There was a veiled threat also since I was quite a cool guy. Yeah. Or certainly that you're trying to pretend to be one. There's a strong sense of pretend to be cool. You got it. You got it. I got it. The deal was with the kids. Yeah, exactly.

But anyway, the next day, no, no, sorry, yesterday, she texted me with invitation to visit the actual to get in the mug, to get in the mug. Wow. She said really sorry about the other day. If you guys want to get in the mug at any point, head over. So she thought that your problem really was that you were jealous. Exactly. Or hot. And you were sitting in in bed thinking, God, I wish I was that big, big murky paddling pool next door, big murky, must be half bodily fluids by now. It's

got it's got no irrigation. It's just sitting there in a heat wave week after week, the occasional teenagers passing through. You know, you're not filtered. Are they the contents of these? Absolutely not filtered. It's just leisure mugs. It's a big receptacle. Also teenagers are the very worst people to be sort of because they're exuding oils all the time. There's so many oils. Yeah, they're so sebaceous on these. They're so

sebaceous. And there'll be lots of dead insects. They'll be fag butts. Yeah, sort of half eaten burgers. There we think people are tossed over the wall. Yeah, exactly like that. Jettisoned fuel. Yeah, the flight path of a heat rod. Yeah. One of those frozen pitch shards falling out. Although this weather you'd be you'd be you'd be grateful of one of those. Oh, darling, what the frozen pitch shard? Well, give it a stir. So

you and you invited to get in? Yeah. I said, thank you very much. It was very kind. We'll discuss it. Haven't got back. Was she proposing a specific time or just like any time just coming? No, no, she did. Yeah, she gave me a few time windows. But really, so it's not so super cash. No, it's not super cash. There are time windows. But she also said I could pitch some windows to her. But what she didn't mention was the hot wave, which is Tuesday. I mean, that's the sweet spot. She's not

offering that as far as I can tell. Because it's going to be like 38 or something, isn't it? Yeah, they say it could go above 40, they're saying. Apparently it's 47 in Portugal at the moment. So if you're listening, if you're listening in Portugal, stop listening and get as low as you can on the ground, isn't it? It's effectively the same as what you do in a fire, you get as low as you can on the ground. Get under the bathroom tiles. No, mind on top. If you can, if you

can get under those tiles, hunker down. These are the official Henry Packer heat wave tip. Breathe in a kind of very little make your mouth very small, I think breathe. You don't overdo it. Don't let too much hot air inside. Exactly. Yeah. So in through sort of veiled nostrils. Yeah, wet one. Obviously, the nostrils have an internal veil system that they've got the internal hair filters. But you'd probably add like a sort of a damp, muslin cloth over the nose. Yeah, yeah, that's a good

idea. The sort you might use for straining cheese. Now the other thing is, as we all know, the body is 90% water, but also 90% of the body's heat is lost through the head. And that also works the other way around to 90% of heat goes in through the head. So get yourself in a helmet, or if you've got, for example, a Chewbacca head, part of a costume, a Chewbacca head piece. Yeah, if it's furry, that really helps. So cover the cover your head up as much as you possibly can. Is that right?

We want to stop the heat getting in. You know, it's the same principles going in and out, isn't it heat? It's a revolving door. So kitchen full around the head. Cheesecloth over the nose, wet cheesecloth over the nose, under the bedroom, under the bathroom tiles. Yeah, Bob's your uncle. I think ice lollies are a big part of, you know, by Tuesday, I think I'm going to be on a half hourly ice lolly rotation. Yeah, I've been on one a day, I'd say for the last week. Yeah, you want a lot of

ice lollies. Pretty listen to the Beach Boys if you can. Music that was made in the golden sun. And sync up to the nipples in a sort of deep dish full of freshly dressed misoise salad, probably. Oh, that'd be nice. Yeah, so you want that. It's a mustardy dressing. But it will stomach, but it will stomach nice and oily. There's cold boiled eggs. It's all over your torso. Yeah, they're bobbing around. They're floating. You've got the tuner shards, little flakes of tuna catching on

anything, any irregularity in your body, the catching around nipples around fat folds around navel. I don't think I don't think I nipples are in a regularity. Well, Henry abhors the nipple, doesn't he? It doesn't make any sense. Is it a valve or a nozzle? Pick a side. I mean, yeah, it's kind of neither is on a man. We don't you're right. We don't need them. We don't. They're vestigial, aren't they? What do they say? Are they? Left over means? So that means

Mike, like your appendix sort of was used back in the day, not anymore. Left over from previous era. Yeah, I don't know if you could call it vestigial if the female of the species is still potentially got a new sudden. Yeah, I don't know. But on men, are they on men? Why have we got them? We sort of embryonic remnant? I think someone's bound to get in touch about this going wrong. But you've got an other line, essentially, if you're a mammal. Oh, what?

If you're a I think it's the first time in the history of the pod that me and me and Bennett same time we've gone equally astounded, which suggests I'm edging dangerously into nonsense. But if you're a mammal, my understanding is you embryonically, you have a sort of you have an underline. So if you look at stop saying I have to line Mike, don't say I don't say I don't stop saying I don't line. It's such a horrible sort

of, you know, down, down both sides. If you imagine, if you imagine a female dog, for example, with a series of suckling nipples, and that sort of, you know, that sort of I'm imagining like Romulus and Remus suckling the wolf parallel tracks of nipples that we have that potential, the tracks of my tears, my milky tears. But then early, early on, a lot of those nipples are switched off. But the top tier nipples remain switched on anyway, we've just got that. I mean, we could get

rid of them. But for some reason, genetically, that switch hasn't turned off. But that's why some people end up with an extra nipple. Oh, yeah. You know, because that that third nipple, or sometimes fourth nipple, even, you know, it'll normally be it'll normally be positioned just below, you know, okay, the chest. I have got a very, very, very mini third nipple. Yeah, that's because that that little other line that other line switch didn't quite switch off. I just want to make

it clear. It's not like a full nipple. You wouldn't even notice it really. I think I'd rather if I was to have a third nipple, I'd rather it was a proper nipple. It was big, proud, symmetrically in the center in the middle. Oh, in the middle. You want it in the middle. It's not happening in the middle, mate. Forget it. I don't like these little weird extra ones that like hello. They're on. They're like little withered looking ones. It's not happening in the middle. You can forget all about that. I'm all

this chat about the weather and how hot it is has reminded me that yesterday I left a very ripe banana in the back of my car. Oh, no, you fool. Don't don't don't never go back in that car again. Be careful, though. Because if there's a tarantula egg inside that it's going to be furious by now. It'll be driving it. It'll be driving it by now. Just before the podcast today, I was walking back from the shop and I saw on the road a split gooseberry writhing with flies. Riding with them. There's so

much. You know, if you were into omens, there's so many bad omens everywhere you look these days, you look around, there'll be like a watermelon writhing with rats. Salami writhing with dogs. Yeah. And mango writhing with the former members of the band busted. They will fight over a mango. They always work. If you check around the stage, they'll just go for it. Music would stop. Like Komodo dragons with a goat carcass.

There is something quite portentious, I think about very portentious. Gooseberry writhing with flies. It was really writhing with it was split. I don't know who'd split it if the flights had split from the inside or if it had been split by someone else and they'd come but they were feasting on. How's your sooth saying these days? Have you got any idea? Could you interpret? Well, I did think it bodes ill for today's part. Who is the

flies? Who is the flies? Who is the gooseberry? Yes. And who is the act of writhing? Time shall tell. Golly, well, dear listener, an ill almond podcast episode. So good luck to us all and listen with caution. Okay, this week's theme. Sent in by George from Canada. Thank you, George. Hi, George. George was George. Oh, could be George. Is it kibikwaz? Well, the topic is Canada. Canada. Do you remember those ants? No. What was it for? That was a million

million years ago. That's the 80s. Adverts for Canada. They used to have adverts for Canada. And the advert was Canada. And it was like pictures of very, very beautiful hills covered in trees, mountains, mountains, sort of hills covered in mountains, hills covered in mountains. They've got it all. Mountains covered in hills, trees covered in mountains. They've got it all. They've got it all different ways around. And it was always a beautiful photography of like, very sort of autumnal

is for amazing autumnal vistas of Canada. And just as female voice going Canada. It was really uplifting. It sounds like they pinched the tune from from Pamela by Toto. They done that? I don't know Pamela by Toto. They might have done it was it wasn't easy. I didn't know that song. Pamela. Yeah, I think they did. Yeah. So absolutely classic. Do you sing that to your dog? Why do I play to my dog? Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam. Good girl, Pam. Good girl, Pam. Oh,

Pam. Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam. It's what it's the top it's the top choice of Pam tracks that's that can be found. Canada. If you've ever been to Canada. I've been to Canada twice. Have you? Bloody how? Whereabouts? I've been to Toronto twice. Yeah, but I've not been anywhere else in Canada. It's a it's a good place Canada. I'm I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here when I say that there's a kind of international perception that Canada is kind of very, very nice. But as a result, a little

bit boring. Oh, that's kind of the vibe isn't it? That's the stereotype, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. And I think we'll say it is a stereotype. Ben, can I say, yeah, I don't appreciate you stereotyping with Canadians. And I have literally I have no idea we are talking a boot. Here we go. Come on. Yeah. Can I carry on? No, no, go on. Keep mocking their accent. No, well, no, I just was that's one of the only things I know about about

Canadians is they say a boot. They do. But then you've got real Canada knowledge. So give us some real Canada knowledge. It's like, it's like the progressive America, isn't it? That's the kind of thing. So yeah, like when I was there, it was almost it just felt like this kind of like everyone was on board with this kind of very liberal project. Yeah. And everyone's a little bit self satisfied because they know that

it's it works. And it's nicer than, you know, the town 20 miles over the border where everyone's shooting each other and dying of diabetes. You know, it's they're all just little bits, a kind of smug vibe. So okay, I hear what I'm picturing is in my mind, I'm picturing like, in any city has a kind or some cities have have a certain sort of suburban bit, which is like the perfect mixture of a little bit urban, but a little bit country there's nice pubs, nice lawns, bit green, but there's buses and

there's still this technology, but there's a little bit of kind of perfect sweet spot. That's what I imagine the whole of Canada is. It's never real. It's never really aggressively urban. I mean, you can't get mugged in Canada, surely. Well, give us give us your phone. And not just your phone, I'm also talking about your wallet. Talking about all your money. I want a lot of Jordy's with Sting.

Have you been mugged by Sting in Toronto? Well, there must be a link. There's clearly a link. There'll be there'll be a there'll be a historic link to do with colonies and stuff. There would have been a Jordy outpost there. Presumably that's where the boot comes wrong. But I assume this there's literally there's no crime that no one's ever been murdered or mugged or robbed there. But I was in the center of Toronto, which is quite sort of

city-ish. I mean, it's not all suburban, obviously, because about 95% of it is just barren. Well, that's the bit I'd like to see. Because we don't have that here. Yeah, I mean, I like the proper wilderness, getting on a little skadoo, going out to the Yukon. Yeah. I mean, I kind of imagine I'd survive very long, but I like the idea of it. I went to Britain's most remote pub, which is in Scotland in a place called Neudart. And it's you can't get to it by road, you

have to go by boat. Or you can walk there across the sea, golden eagle infested countryside. Wow. And even though it's the most remote pub in Britain, it's still, you know, it's sky sports. Basically, yeah, it's all got a quiz machine. Yeah, there'll be Wi-Fi, there'll be that day's papers will be sitting there, you're not going to feel you're in a different world, are you? Exactly. So I wonder whether in Canada, you can have that proper experience of like, your skinning an animal.

You literally don't know where the nearest bottle of IOLA is. Because any pub in Britain, that pub in Scotland would have had IOLA, wouldn't it? We've got, if you want, you could have a catch up, you could have had mayor, you could have had IOLA, right? Yeah, I had a venison bird. Yeah. Okay. I could have well put some IOLA on it. But what so what we're talking about here is a hunter's cabin, we're talking about Mike with a beaver hat, possibly even a

live beaver hat. A live beaver hat, a hatchet tucked into my belt, shorts in all seasons, shorts all season boots and long socks, three fresh kills, just lying across the porch at all times. Yeah. So whether that's animal or human, animal or human, any kind of intruder, it'll be mackerel, bear and accountant, or all of the hanging up being smoked, weren't you? Yeah. Oh, because they've got a last they've got a last through the winter. You

see a smoked accountant will get you through the harshest of winter. I don't know. I can't put them in the fridge. Can I? Exactly. So you smoke that kind of I'm going to be nose to tailing that guy. And the smoky essence, you know, you can eat everything you can eat his his his his clothes, his hands, his calculator, his pens, his eyebrows as a garnish on a salad. Not one bit of the accountant goes to waste, which you like to think the accountant himself would have

approved of. But you know, I definitely see you in a remote cabin like that, Mike. That's where I'd be. You presumably Henry, you'd be in, you'd be in Quebec, you'd be in Montreal. No, he'd be in London, Ontario. I'd be in London, Ontario, going to find his London and every other sentence, I'd be saying it's not London. No, is it? I mean, come on. One thing I've heard about in Canada, which I would like to visit is apparently one of the cities gets so cold in the

winter that they then everyone goes down into a kind of undercity that exists underneath it get through through escalators. And essentially, the whole city is kind of replicated underground. And you just walk around like for the whole winter, because if you went above above ground for like five seconds, you'd die. Well, that's Toronto. Is it? Yeah, it's got a big underground bit. It's less

impressive than you'd imagine. No, is it not like an underworld? That's cool. No, it's less like an underworld and more like, you know, sometimes if you sort of walk through a train station, and there's like a W. H. Smiths, and there's a bit of an underpass. And I see. Yeah. Also known as the most amazing things in the world. Underpass with every Smith. Come on.

So it's not a place where you can ask your great-grandfather some questions. Wait, what, you're dead? You're dead grandfather? Who's boiling in hell? Is that what you're saying about my life? I mean, the general sense of the underworld, the mystical, the second plane. Can you talk to your ancestors going back to Adam? You can't know. You can just get a notebook. You can double H Smiths. Yeah, a doughnut. Pick up aggression.

It's all right. It's okay. I've been there in the winter. I've been there in the summer. How cold was it in the winter? It was mine. It was 20. Oh, can I say that's nice for us to talk about because it's so hot. Maybe people will like that. Can you describe that in a visceral way slightly? How cold it was? Minus 20. Bloody hell. Off you go.

Imagine, imagine you're going into a Russian banyan. I have done that in the last year. Yeah, there's a huge hairy Russian bloke. Yeah. Imagine there's 50 of them. Yeah. But they've been shrunk down. So they're like gnome size with it. And they're all violently slapping your skin all over your body. Oh, yeah. It's like that. Oh, bloody hell.

So it's a sting to it. There's a real sting to the air. Yeah, really? Yeah. Were you muffled up in what I would say is classic for me Canadian gear, which is big red puffer jacket type thing, a hat with the two floppy ear bits that come down. Very big furry boots. Sort of John Candy outfit.

John Candy outfit. Yeah, were you wearing that? No, I was wearing a duffle coat from River Island, and I was very cold. Yeah, that's not going to cut it. It's not even going to touch it. Duffle coat from River Island. I don't care if it's a cool brand. It's not going to cut them off, so yeah, sure, you'll look

excellent strolling around the King's Road or down one of the catwalks at London Fashion Week. But in Canada and proper minus 20, are you fucking having a laugh, mate? Yeah, yeah, well, it's all about layers, isn't it? I was just very cold. So presumably they didn't go around complaining about the cold.

I mean, do they say things like, I'm having a, oh, it's so cold today. Yes, it's a boot minus 20. They're a boot, you know what I mean? Are they having those kinds of conversations? The thing was, I think there's a weird thing that British people have, I might be wrong here, that we like to go for a walk around a place.

Get your bearings. And it sort of turns out that like, I don't think other people do this as much. So in Canada, I was like, I'm just going to go for a walk. And they'd just been like, why? It's minus 20. You'll die. Yeah.

You'll just have to be rescued in about three minutes. That's it. So I'd be like, okay, I'm going to go for a walk. And they weren't doing that. They were just staying in their really lovely warm house. What you be going there for? It's like that. He's got it.

He's cracked it. But we've got a boat all the way for us if we could leave right here. What are you going to, are you testing out the Montes? Are you simply going to test out the Montes? I think, I think you gravitated towards like extreme East Coast whaler community, like hasn't been touched by the rest of them.

But I think, you know what, I think I might be hitting those real colonial accents back from those eras back from hundreds of years ago that we could, I think it would have been a metal orange like this, bit of Irish. Yeah, I think, yeah, wait, wait from you. We're getting an authentic trapper. It's all 18th century, newfoundland accents. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, from a simple time when life was just about having a string of beavers, a hot fire and a loaded musket, a loaded musket, to fire the beavers out of, to fire the beavers out of and like as many tubs of whale fat as you can carry. You know that thing about going for walk, that reminds me of a story through my mum, which is years and years and years ago, before I was born, in fact, my parents lived in America briefly in New Jersey, and my dad was working university, my mum was

living in New Jersey, and she in the day she would go for a walk, she would walk with my brother in a pram, and she just, she'd go for a walk, and she'd end up walking up like, I think it was like the New Jersey turnpike or like, there's lots of big, there's like these big roads, these big like mega roads in New Jersey. And she'd be, she'd be walking up and basically constantly people would be pulling up going, are you okay, mom? Can I help you, mom? Are you okay, mom? And she'd just be like, I'm just

going for a walk. Yeah. And well, this would have been in the 70s as well, which was a sort of peak serial killer era in America as well. Yeah, that's true, actually. Yeah. You're going to get worked by the Pockety monster. Yeah, I think it's a thing, although I'm obviously very

wary of making these sort of generalizations, we'll probably get a lot of emails from Americans and Canadians so that they proudly walk everywhere. We've made some swinging generalizations so far, I think just press on. We really have. But I think with this episode, which is about Canada, a place that only one of us has been to, it's going to be a quite

generalization based episode. Is there any other nation where the citizens when traveling will wear the flag on their backpack? You're so right, Mike. With such frequency. They do wear their flag on their backpack. Well, that's a very good point. And I don't think I see that.

Is that just because they get mistaken for Americans or in Henry's case, Jordans? Is that good? They don't want people to get them lovelied. Alan Shearer, of course, another famous Canadian. Or is it just, is there a deep, deep patriotism? What is it? That's a very good point.

Or do people just see a Canadian flag on a backpack and just assume that you're not going to be any trouble? You do relax, don't you, when you find that someone's Canadian? Is it Henry's, like Henry's presumption of zero crime? Just that's all it takes. Maple leaf and then at trouble, on you go. It doesn't have any really toxic negative connotations, particularly, does it?

And also, it's a good flag, isn't it? I don't know if we talked about it in flags. It's probably the best flag. It's a very fine flag. And it's also the best flag. Yeah, that's crazy talks. That's crazy talks. It's a good flag.

It's Premier League, for sure. But it's a pleasing flag. It's not the best flag. No? What flag would you say is better than the Canadian flag? Well, I think we might have covered this in the episode flags. So by all means, go back and have a listen if you want to know the answer to that question. By all means, find out the answer is Bhutan.

Everyone knows it's Bhutan. It's Bhutan. Yeah, it's Bhutan, Bhutan. No, I've got to say, it's a good flag, isn't it? Because it's the only flag, which is also the logo for the national dish, isn't it? Let's, we've been pussy-footing around it. Let's talk about it. Leaf stew.

A nice hot, bubbling bowl, chewy, really hard to digest Canadian autumn leaf stew. Served on a, on a rectangular white plate with two panels of jam on either side. And that plate itself on an oval shaped plate, which is a beaver's tail. It's still attached to the beaver, who is also the metrodee who talks to you today. On a camping table that has been upholstered in a bear hide. I mean, shall we talk about maple syrup? We can talk about maple syrup. Sure.

Fans? Yeah, I'm a big fan of maple syrup. Me too. I feel like it's one of those materials that's soon going to be one of those ones that's, you know, pound for pound, more valuable than gold. Yeah, it feels a bit like that at the moment. There is a dystopian film to be made, isn't there, about a future world where that's that's the currency. Yes.

Canadians sort of rule the world. Do you remember that April Fool's thing about spaghetti trees? They did in the fifties and everyone believed that spaghetti was going on trees in Italy. No. Such a lame fifties joke that. You're aware of this, aren't you? Come on, guys. No.

You're not. So it was on the equivalent of Newsnight or something in the fifties on the BBC. And they said that because I think spaghetti was quite new in the fifties to people in Britain. So what happened? So basically they did like a fake news story about how how spaghetti's harvested from trees. And they just stuck a load of spaghetti to some trees. And it's good. And basically it was, it fooled everyone and it didn't, everyone thought it was real.

Yeah. But it feels to me like when, when you see footage of them sticking a tap in the side of a tree to get the maple syrup out, I was like, no, surely not. You can't put a tap in a tree. You can't put a tap in a tree. It's almost like when they were making up that lie, it's like, maybe the simplest lie will be the most convincing. Have you thought about that?

But like, they've created the tap lie because the truth must be really horrible for them to make up the tap lie. Well, it suggests, doesn't it, that you think they're taking maple trees away from their mothers when they're very young? I don't think it comes from a maple tree, Mike. No. I think you express it from the anal glands of a bear. I think that's true, Ben. And that of a mournful bear. If you, yeah, that's how you get the nice, the sort of complex flavours if they're mournful.

You do use a tap. You just stick it up the arse of a bear. They've just adjusted the footage so that the bear's arse looks like the bark of a tree. Exactly. Well, if you look at it from the right angle, you could think it's coming out of a tree. But if you just, that's the photo they'll take. But if you move your head one foot to the left. Maybe it's obvious.

Maybe we've just convinced ourselves. Maybe if we just simply look again, it's there. Yeah, but we don't want to, we don't want to see it. Sort of hive delusion. And also, you know, when they were coming up with the plan of how to sell this product, you know, ramp it out to the world, which is what they've done. Because originally, of course, it was just called sweet bear anus juice. Exactly.

It was called spadge, sweet bear anus juice. Spadge, it had a catchy name. Had you spadged yet, the bearling? Oh, dad, we're out of spadge. What about going to the shop and getting some more spadge? Pour that spadge all over me, pancake, not just in the middle, all about it. And then pass the bear cub. I've sharpened the top.

I want to put some more spadge on me, my potatoes. Pass the bear spudge and give it a little smudge. You smudge the spudge. You smudge. You smudge the spadge out of the bear cub. You squeeze it in. That's what's called smudging the spadge. And actually, originally, they would have just been passing a mournful cub around the table.

Would have been plonked in the middle on a little dish with the rest of the seasonings. And eventually, they worked out actually a tap would do it a bit easier. And if you look at the Canadian flag again, it looks, to our eyes, looks like a maple leaf. Looks like a maple leaf, but actually in silhouette, if that was to... It's the red inflamed anus of a bear. It's well, it's an overly smudged anus. People disagree. Is it an overly smudged anus, which is now just producing a very narrow trickle of spadge

down the bottom? It's almost a warning. It's saying, if you over smudge your spadge, then the bear will be all spadged out and you'll just get a little thin trickle. It doesn't even reach the bottom of... It doesn't even reach the bottom of... It'll run a bit of the flag. Run a bit of thick.

Run a bit of thick. It doesn't even reach the bottom of the flag. You're going to get the sour bit at the end. It's going to ruin your water. It's not even going to land on your puddin' kick. That's what they say. And of course, the red on either side is the overly smudged cub siblings that have been rolled with a rolling pin to get the last bit of spadge out, don't they?

Yes, it is. Yeah, that is right. But I reckon, because they've managed to sell the world the biggest lights that have been sold. The maple syrup is a nice sweet thing to put on your pancake when it's actually an absolutely fucking revolting thing that shouldn't go anywhere near a human kitchen or face. So what they did was, they came up, I think, with the whole Canadian personality to help sell.

Yes, the trustworthy personality. Nice guy. Would a Canadian, as you believe a Canadian to ever get behind this? So we've got to change the accent. We can't be saying, oh, have you heard about our new spadge? We've got to say, have you heard about our new spadge? Well, our new maple syrup. Well, better, exactly.

But then spadge. Well, rebrand it. And you rebrand it. Which, of course, is an anagram of a boot maple syrup, in fact, has all the all the letters of spadge in it. Does it? Where's the J? Well, the J is just where's the B?

I'm talking about Mabel Surjup. Yeah. Mabel Surjup. Right. Oh, the founding mother of Canada, Mabel Surjup. Mabel Surjup. But actually, the Canadians, they're not nice, homely people wearing puffer jackets. Each puff on that puff is full up of expressed anal juice from bears.

And what is a beaver? It's a spudged out bear. It's a tiny bear with a flat tail. Because it's been spudged out. The tail is actually sort of spadgeroid, isn't it really? It's just... It's a hardened spadgeroid. Canada.

Canada. Oh, Canada. Canada. I'd like two tickets to see Celine Dion at the isarchy in the Cirque du Soleil. Canada. Canada. Oh, Canada. I'd like two tickets to see Celine Dion at the isarchy in the Cirque du Soleil.

Canada. Canada. Canada. Oh, Canada. Canada. Canada. Hey, I'm milking a wolf here. Slides of old, poppers, doves, kosheros, down Craisle's farm, in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Lots of old poppers, Nova Scotia rolls down Chrysler's farm in Regina, Saskatchewan. No one's ever going to be interested in your wide-ranger than using facial expressions. Mr. Carrie? Syrup. Okay, let's read your emails. When you send an email, you must give thanks to the postmasters that came before. Good morning, postmaster. Anything for me?

Just some old shit. When you send an email, this represents progress. Like a robot, shooing a horse. Give me your horse. My beautiful horse! Okay, our first email is on the topic of service stations. After last week's episode about service stations, it's from Neil. The subject title is The Hot Tip for Gloucester Services.

I'm writing with reference to your service station episode, and in particular your astute observations about the cultural differences between north and southbound premises. My daughter Gracie and I live in Brockworth, a stone's throw away from the aforementioned Gloucester Services. For many years, it was our habit to get breakfast there on Saturday mornings. Why wouldn't you? Initially, we assumed the breakfast was the same in both directions, and so we used the southbound one, which was the quickest to get to. However, one Saturday, an egg shortage

in the southbound caused us to loop around to the northbound, where we found that the standard breakfast came with two slices of toast, not the one slice we received heading south. Needless to say, we've rarely been southbound since, but as far as we can tell, the discrepancy remains. Very best regards, Neil and Gracie. The proof is in the pudding. That's very interesting. So there is a cultural difference between the two sides. There's a good life hack. The northbound is the more generous of the two, is it? You're getting two slices on the northbound.

So if you're driving north, it's worth driving past Gloucester Services till you hit the next roundabout, heading back south again. Or is it the other way around? No, no, sorry. So a little life hack. If you're driving south on the M5, from northbound, from northbound, north of Gloucester, to somewhere south of Gloucester, as you pass through Gloucester Services, don't pull off the road there. Go to the next roundabout, drive round again, drive north, and pull into the other surfaces. You get a breakfast with an extra slice of

toast. There might be some other bonuses we don't know about. There might be more urinal cakes than usual in the... In the breakfast. In the breakfasts. There could be all kinds of advantages. And then, as you exit, obviously, you're going to have to drive north, back to where you came from, at the next roundabout, come round again. So now you're heading south, and again, same rules apply. Instead of pulling into Gloucester Services, that time you go down south to the next roundabout, turn round again, head north,

pull into Gloucester Services again. Why are you going back? Pull in and have... Well, I just think it's very hard to break the logic once you're in it, I think. But bear in mind, if you're doing that too much, then eventually in the southbound, they are going to end up with surplus slices of toast because they're not going to be shifting the units. And that's true.

It might actually be the other way where it went to the point where in the southbound, it's probably three slices of toast because they've got to get rid of them. That's a good point. Because they can't keep them forever. And equally, in the northbound services, they'll have run out of toast because you might have double toast to handing out. Yeah. So at that point, they might have no toast or even negative toast with the breakfast

where you have to pay for it in toast or give them some toast. Bring your own toast. Bring your own toast. Another option you then got is next week, you go north, you come round again, you pick up some of that... Pick up some spare toast from the south one. You drive south again, you come back round the roundabout on the way north. You can then set up a stand or stall selling toast at the back of your car, which will

certainly pay for all the petrol you're using by having to infinitely drive round these roundabouts. So the whole thing does become self-financing at that point, if that helps. But that does need to be done between the hours of 7am and 9.30am. Yeah. Yeah. Very good tip there, I think. And I like the way that it demonstrates that nature always finds a balance, doesn't it?

It does, doesn't it? Only in motion. Is it? Hexagons. Hexagons. Great. Let's move on. Oh, and the even spread of beavers across the Canadian landmass.

OK, a final services email, which takes the form of the listener, Bollocking of the Week. Bollocking loaded. This is from Lisa from Bristol. She writes, it is with a heavy heart that I have to raise the spectre of a Bollocking for Messer's Partridge and Wozniak. Ah, good. As a fellow West Country resident, there are several examples of solo defiantly independent services on the M5.

Defiant. So I think this is because we talked about every service has its mirror image on either side of the road. Ah, yes. I love the idea of the WH Smiths person, like arranging the Twix's defiant. Yeah, go on. She writes that a standout example of this is Mike's local columpton services, one of the rarest of beasts, a deeply depressing Muk-Extra McDonald's themed station.

To help Henry picture the true ex-Soviet municipal building atmosphere, in your quest, for examples of opposites, columpton's exact and absolute opposite would be the countryside idyll that is close to services. Oh, wow. OK, I'm very ready to go to that one. Because it's too near to you. That's the thing. You don't know about your local services.

Yeah. Columpton services. So do you get some services which are kind of entirely McDonald's themed, or like... Muk-Extra McDonald's. Yeah, because sometimes they've got Muk-Extra written. I've never known what that means. She says, please take this bollocking as an expression of my belief that we can all grow and open our eyes to the possibility of unique service stations in an increasingly homogenous

world. So is she saying, is she in favour of it? I think she's just saying that we said that there's always an equal and opposite service station. What is it that Newton said? For every service station, there's an equal and opposite service station on the other side of the motorway. She's saying this is the first law of service stations.

Which may or may not appear to have more toast in the fry up, but in an infinite universe, eventually the amounts of toast will equalise over the two, bearing in mind the fact that... Well, we've described it earlier, so just refer back to it. As bollocking as goes, I don't feel particularly admonished, I have to say. Well, no, this is a good point. I'm very happy to accept her point. Well, okay, Mike, you're accepting her point, but are you accepting the bollocking? I don't feel there was a bollocking in there.

Interesting. Do you feel bollocked? No, I feel quite breezy. Yeah. Lisa, I don't think Lisa's quite the tough guy she thinks she is, I think. Was that a false bollock? I think it may have been a false bollock. What's that coming through the mist?

Can it be a false bollock? Lisa, you may have given us our first false bollock. You just made a decent point and delivered it quite nicely. It was actually a sort of pat on the back, if anything. Well, it wasn't that. She was telling us to look up, essentially. Yeah, you know. Look up and smell the services, yeah.

But she did call it a bollocking, so it may be that she was trying to bollock us, but doesn't have it in her, really, to... Yeah, maybe she's just doing that vicious edge. Yeah. What was the point she was trying to make, as well? Well, for that, you just had to listen, Henry. Oh, yeah. Okay, that was actually made very clearly.

That is on me. Now, can I just say, in the interests of fairness, I would like us to now allow clumped-in services to essentially have a voice in this discussion. A right to reply. A right to reply. So, I'm going to read you from their website. Okay. I'm going to read to you their sort of welcome information.

A little bit. So, this is clumped-in services. If you're traveling to or from the West Country, take a break and relax. At extras, clumped-in service area, just off J28 of the M5, accessible to both Northbound and Southbound traffic. So, the bare minimum for any services. But they're... No, it's not the bare minimum for any services.

It's the whole point of what we're talking about, is that most of them are only accessible in one direction. Oh, is that what we're talking about? It's the whole... It's what we're talking about. I thought the point you were making was to do with whether or not they're home-owned. What are you talking about? It's a McDonald's one.

But I think it's quite funny, it's watching what they're coming up with to sell themselves is. You know, this is what they've got. They've had to lean into Northbound and Southbound traffic from the first centre. It's just from J28. And just 15 miles north of Exeter. That is close, isn't it? 15 miles, relatively. It's about 15 miles, isn't it?

Well, it's about 15 miles, isn't it? Can I say the word just in general in the world of marketing and life is overused? Yes. As is the word even. To be like... Okay. We've got sprouts. We've got lemons.

We've even got asparagus. You just stick even. It's a classic marketing trick. If you've got a list, you stick even in front of the last one. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, to make it sound unbelievable that they would have that last one. Yeah, but the fact is, what's so incredible about having asparagus? This just sounds like a standard Greengrocer's, actually.

Do you know what I mean? So you prefer that they said, We've got lemons. We've got salad. And inevitably, we've got asparagus. Exactly. And as surely as night follows day, we've got asparagus. With the grim inevitability of your own death.

Visit our asparagus corner. You know it's coming, and there's nothing you can do about it. And the same goes for just, isn't it? Just 15 miles north of Exeter. Just... Well, yeah. What if you're a ladybird? Is that still just 15 miles?

You'd have to take your 75 lifetimes to get halfway there if you're a ladybird. So I don't think it's just for them, actually, is it? That's true. Yeah. That's true. It may be that this mission statement isn't directed at ladybirds, but that's not for me to say. Yeah.

Well, they've not said anything about that in the FAQs. It might be, Henry, that if you sort of go through that statement with a fine-tooth comb, you'll find a few things that probably aren't that relevant to a ladybird. So it's not ladybird ready. So why the hell is it up and running this website? Okay, so let's carry on. So what I like is when places are desperate to find positives, and there isn't much to work with, and having to strain hard,

Calumpton. So we've got, and just 15 miles north of Exeter, Calumpton is the perfect place to refuel because it's got petrol pumps. Yeah, it's a petrol station. Is that the perfect place to refuel or would any other kind of place be crazy as a place to refuel? It depends where you're running low on fuel, presumably. You've always got to be a bit suspicious of anywhere that celebrates the fact that it's near somewhere else that early on.

That's a good point. It's already happened to invoke Exeter. Marketing. And is it the perfect place to refuel? Or is it just a place to refuel? It's a place to refuel. And as Mike says, it depends on how much petrol you've got on it. So actually, whether or not a place is ideal to refuel or not

is entirely relative to how much petrol you've got on you. Well, no, that's no, because that's like saying, the Harrods food court is only as good as how little you have in your hamper at home. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I do know what you're saying. So let's crack on then. Enjoy something to eat or drink and relax. Why can't I eat and drink?

Yeah. Why is it one of the other monsters? Choose from popular outlets, including McDonald's. Warren's Bakery. Who the fuck are they? Henry, I'm sure Mike has a- It's not a global brand. As a local.

Henry's not interested. I'm sure it's like a local brand that Mike knows very well, Warren's Bakery. Do you know Warren's Bakery? Everyone knows Warren's Bakery around here. Everyone knows Warren. Everyone knows Warren, do they? Yeah. Does everyone's birthday cakes?

Okay, it has- It's warm. I'm warming to it a little bit here. Choose from popular outlets, including McDonald's, Warren's Bakery or Costa. Okay, I mean, I'm listening. I tell you what, Warren's Bakery to have got smuggled in between McDonald's and Costa. That is a huge moment for them.

They've absolutely lucked out there, haven't they? There had been some fist pumping going on back at Warren's house. Well, the Warren is what he calls it. His Labyrinthine Underground home. Yeah, Warren's Warren. As with all extra service areas, you'll find high quality and well-maintained WC and washroom facilities. Backed worth a bit there, aren't we?

It's a services, essentially. It's a services. Well, there we go, Lisa. Thank you. No, the other thing we had a lot of emails about. Can you guess? I'm going to say a lot. I mean, a lot.

Oh, I'm trying to think what kind of assertion Henry might have made during the course of the show. Well, let me read it out. Given that Lisa's bollocking was a false bollocking, is that what we're calling it? A ghost bollocking. Yeah, a ghost bollock, yeah. Then I'll read this one out from Hannah. High beans.

As a long-time listener, I frequently issue bollocings from the safety of my living room, but I've never gone as far as actually sending an email. I'm chair bollocker. I don't know why, but Henry's insane rambling about geese patrolling airports. Geese! Of course. I don't think I'm going to be eating any hats today, Henry, by the sounds of things. Great.

Let's hear it, bro. You got Warren to knock you up a nice Milfay hat, didn't you? For the occasion. Dude, just in case. Okay, go on. Henry's insane rambling about geese patrolling airports turns out to be the thing that finally pushes me over that precipice. I'll say straight away that I'm not any kind of airport expert or insider,

but even the absolute minimum effort of googling, do geese patrol airports, immediately shows that not only do airports not hire geese to patrol their grounds, but in fact some airports have hired other animals, such as dogs and pigs, to patrol their grounds to keep geese away. Oh my God, it's the opposite. They've got security pigs. Yeah, anti-geese pigs. Well, what I like to say is there's a grain of truth in everything I say.

Because geese are involved there somewhere. Exactly. But I think what's happened there is she's replaced it with an even bigger lie. Dogs and pigs. Oh. Well, for one thing. Are you accepting the bollocking? No, I'm not.

Reflecto bollock. There's no way dogs and pigs can work together. They're rivals. They hate each other. You're imagining a sort of kind of like a no man's land, like a sort of minefield strip between two fences, where there's just wild dogs and pigs running around scaring off geese. Also, what stops a goose from flying over the dogs and pigs?

Also, dogs and pigs hate each other and have done for millennia, because they're both domesticated animals, but one of them went down the pet route, and the other one went down the excellent sandwiches, roasts, meals, burgers, barbecue pulled pork. There's a lot of resentment there. There's a lot of resentment. And also, pigs are much more intelligent than dogs.

Everyone knows that. They're highly bright. But what dogs, what do they get? They get nice meaty snacks. They get special dog biscuits. Lots of tummy tickles. What do pigs get? Swill.

Tummy tickles. What does the pig get? Swill and prods. Swills and prods. And they have to live outdoors and feel. So there's a lot of resentment between those two communities. So I don't see them working together for starters. Certainly not patrolling the lower skies around an airport

and a little micro light. Exactly. Right. But also, why would you be trying to get rid of geese? What's the problem? I mean, it just doesn't make it. So they don't fly into the engines? Probably the most catastrophic thing that could happen in an airport.

Is a goose going into the engine? Yeah. It's possible that I've heard that story about security geese and completely inverted it in my mind. Have you been releasing geese? I'm just doing my bit to help, Mike. In how I saw it. Into the perimeter of Facebook.

I don't like to talk about it, but yes, it's something I do, tirelessly. Every other weekend, I'll march a flock of geese up and it's just my bit to help the country, I thought. I think to give Henry a bit of credit, we've had a lot of emails along this road as well. This is from Vic. The consensus, I take it. Yeah.

Well, this is a knotting problem. So Vic writes, this is not a bollocking. In fact, he describes it as a non-bollocking. Okay. An email. An email. Possibly just a gentle nudge in the right direction. Like when you beep someone non-aggressively in the car,

just a little, you haven't seen the lights, but I don't have a problem with it. But come on, mate. I'm London. So Vic writes, when I had my animal rescue centre down in the new forest back in the 90s. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I stick that in a sub-clause?

Where's my animal rescue centre in where? The new forest. In the 90s. Yeah. Ah. I mean, we all had an animal rescue centre in the 90s. Of course we did. And that was when the Shire Horse was king,

because of the, you know, they've effectively got curtains. They've got curtains. Boyband hair. They've got boyband hair and they've got bootcut legs. Haven't they? It's your ideal. What a time to be looking after horses in the new forest in the 90s. Ah.

What a time to be a Shire Horse. What a time to be a Shire Horse. And they were mainly Oasis, weren't they? Yeah, in the Oasis, I think. Yeah, I think a couple of them were drummers, had brief ten years as Oasis drummers. That's right. Replacing the original drummer who was called Knobhead.

Was that the name? No, but, you know, he was called Knobhead. That's it. No, Knobhead was the guitarist, I think. Oh, was he? Oh, okay, I don't know. I don't know. Let the Bollockings roll then.

Anyway, he writes, when I had my animal rescue centre down in the new forest back in the 90s, I actually had guard geese. Come on. Excellent guard birds, constantly furious, noisy and always on the lookout for a fight. Exactly. And they successfully scared off several intruders over the years.

Well, they were 90s lads, weren't they? They were like, oh, come on mate, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a bit of fun. Oh, that's magazine. Lad culture was rife. Lad culture was huge amongst geese. So they were all looking and they've got that twitchy kind of lad energy. Sadly, they weren't always on the lookout for foxes.

I'll leave it there. Okay. Thanks, Vic. So what does he mean by that? Oh, no, we've got to explain. It means that the fox took them to a special farm where they retired. Oh, thank goodness. And they got to play with all the other older geese.

Sounds lovely there. Well, it's all day long. What other kind of stuff did they have there? They had swings, lazy boy chairs. Oh, thank God. Thank goodness. A couple of snooker tables. That is a relief.

And you could watch Top Gun, could they? Movie nights. You could watch Top Gun on a loop in the Top Gun room. Would Ryan Gosling ever come and do a meet and greet? Oh, every Christmas. Oh, okay. Clay goose. Clay goose.

Do you want to play with Clay goose? No. She was an actor in Casualty, I think. Well, see, golly, it's hard picking a stage name, isn't it? You don't always quite get it right. Well, I think the thing is, the way you picture it is, especially back in the 90s was, can you picture it on a huge poster alongside the name Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Clay goose in Revenge Mageddon. Yes, you can. Go for it. Yeah, I can see it now. I can see it. Yeah. Fair play to Clay goose.

So, thank you, Vic. And actually, just want to say, we had a lot of emails from people saying that geese are used as guards. I mean, I knew that at the time. I think you were making it clear that you meant airport specifically. So I think the Bollocking still stands, which you haven't accepted. And I think the thing is, they're like nature's fire alarm, or alarm, because they just make a racket, isn't it?

Is that what happens? Like, when they're on fire, they make a great big noise. Yeah, when they're on fire, they get really, really, really noisy. And you can set them up a bit like those red lasers you get going across the passage in a museum, can't you? But you just have a row of geese. And then if the cat burglar walks and even touches one of them, they go crazy.

And of course, in goose talk, is that what they're saying is blur. Blur, blur, blur, blur. Because they were blur. The char horses were oasis. Blur, blur, blur. Yeah, is that too far? Ben looks tired. Shall we move on?

Yeah, but did it for him, didn't it? It's time to pay the ferryman. Patreon, Patreon, Patreon.com, 4 slash 3 beat salad. Thank you to everyone who signed up and our Patreon. Thank you very much. Thank you. There are three tiers. One tier gets you and free episodes.

One tier gets you bonus episodes, which we make every month. And of course, there's the Sean Bean tier, which gives you access to the mystical, liminal space that is the Sean Bean lounge. And Mike, you were there last night. I was indeed. Big night. It was a huge one, actually, last night.

Was it? Yeah. Which might explain why I'm looking a bit red-eyed. Yeah, you have looked a bit blotchy. I didn't want to say anything. Because, of course, it was the annual celebrity lookalikes catwalk event. Yeah. That's right.

Yes. Yeah. Thank you, Ben. It was, yes. And I've got a report for you right here. Excellent. The annual Sean Bean celebrity lookalike catwalk event was hosted by none other than Sean Bean himself.

Or was it? Gav Merchie hit the runway hard in a faux rubber Russell Crowe mask, swiftly followed by Sheena Lees in a Jesse Plemons one piece. Carl Gregorzek dressed as Russell Crowe impersonating Jesse Plemons. And David Sewell as Jesse Plemons impersonating Russell Crowe impersonating Jesse Plemons doing an impression of Russell Crowe aping Jesse Plemons. Nick Skews, really seen birthmark, won best Russell Crowe grimace. And Oscar Salendon's left big toe took toe that looks most like Jesse Plemons

if Jesse Plemons were a toe. Jesse Plemons exploiting the semantic loophole that the term celebrity lookalikes could be interpreted either way, glided down the catwalk as the spitting image of Chloe Harnett Hargrove. Meaning Chloe Harnett Hargrove was refused entry at the lounge door and taken into custody for identity fraud of herself. That would have sound the mood of the crowd had known about it at the time, but instead they lapped up runway 12s from Conor L. Sebi as Arctic Russell Crowe,

Jack Kearns as Domestic Russell Crowe, Tim Dutton as Crowe Russell Crowe, Griffin G as Box Fresh Russell Crowe, Vyman Sam as Wet Russell Crowe and Cynthia as Liquid Russell Crowe. Owing to a technicality, this celebrity lookalike catwalk grand prize went to the catwalk itself, which was the absolute carbon copy of a young, flat, T-shaped Willie Nelson. Uncanny. Okay, and to play us out, we always use a version of our theme tune made by one of our listeners, and thank you to everyone who sends those in.

If you'd like to send one in, just send it into 3bincelothpod.gmail.com. Now, before we work out which one we're going to listen to this week, now, you'll remember last week we played out a recording of a toy that someone sent in, that they felt sounded like our theme tune. It absolutely did. And we were, of course, worried about a lawsuit. From the toy company, from playing out their music. Casper Emails says,

worry not about the potential of a Mattel lawsuit for the jingle sent in at the end of the service station's episode, because it is Herman Neck's Sikos Post, a 19th century Hungarian classical music piece. Oh, wow. Come on. We knew that. We knew that. Catch up, mate, keep up. Bloody hell.

We're huge fans of Herman Neck, all three of us. Did this email come by Fax? This guy's in there. Well, it looks a little more t-shirt right now. And Henry's wearing the Herman Neck tribute neck. Well, I've had the word Herman tattooed on my neck, so that only people that are aware of Herman Neck get it. It's a joke.

Casper writes, I'd like to say I know that from being a scholarly connoisseur of classical music, but in truth, I only know it because it appeared in the video game Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games as one of the pieces you could select for the Rhythmic Gymnastics event. Wow. Okay. He says, I hope this frees you from any legal concerns,

because I assume that Herman, if it's 19th century, the copyright will have lapsed. Either way, I'm very reassured by any legal advice from anyone, regardless of whether or not they are a qualified legal professional or where they get their knowledge from. I'll take it and I'll relax. And I think it's safe to say that more than 50 years have passed since Herman Neck was rung by one of his lovers. Well, thanks for that, Casper.

Now, let's work out what we're listening to this week instead. Joe emails. Dear Beans, yesterday I decided I was going to learn the tenor saxophone as part of what I can only describe as a midlife crisis. Yep, classic. I was amazed by how naturally I picked it up, having never played a woodwind instrument before in my life. Why didn't I do this sooner?

If only I'd known I had such a God-given talent. What you'll hear is the first tune I ever played. Oh, wow. Which could only have ever been one thing. The three-bean salad theme sheet. Picture the scene. New Orleans, circa 1940. It's night time.

Of course it is. Reigning and everything is in black and white. You're a detective in the middle of a nasty case. A real nasty case. Oh, yeah. You head to a whiskey joint to mull things over. Of course you did. And as you approach the door, you hear the dulcet tones of a saxophone.

It's jazz. You enter the bar and through the smoke you look to the stage. And this is what you hear. Lovely. Thank you, Joe. Let's listen to that now. Thanks to everyone for listening. Goodbye.

Thank you, bye. Bye. Thank you, bye.
