Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Triforce podcast. Good morning. Morning. Good afternoon.
Good afternoon. Wherever you are. Yeah. Sips. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are.
Yeah.
Sips.
Yeah.
How are you doing on the island?
Oh, man.
Just great.
How are you doing?
I'm doing fantastic.
Oh.
And P-Flex, fresh out of hospital from having heart surgery.
Holy shit.
How did it go, Flax?
I take it you survived.
I did survive.
Good, good.
It was quite the experience. I haven't you survived. I did survive. Good good. It was uh, it was quite the experience
I haven't right
I haven't the last
Operational procedure that I had of any note was when I have my tonsils out and that was when I was like 13
So I went in to have a mole removed from my back. It took like two minutes
So other than that, I've you know, I've not really had the full
Operator
We could do that with scissors, right?
Right.
I mean, they did.
They just maybe bend over in the waiting room and just snip it up.
In fact, that's the recommended way of doing it.
Yeah.
But this was a whole trial, really.
I headed in at about, I got there for about midday and I got home at about 11 p.m.
So it was only about 11 hours total.
And I got home at about 11 p.m.
So it was only about 11 hours total, but it was a lot of waiting around.
And then about two hours of genuine humiliation, discomfort and pain and at times fear, I would say.
So to give you guys for anyone that maybe is listening to this episode in isolation, I had and have uh something called supraventricular tachycardia which is when your heart races out of control like upward of 180 bpm so mine is 200
to 220 when i have an attack and i had three of these that required an injection of something
called adenosine that stops it you'll have to see previous episodes to find out it's not like
when um you
know something happens like the doorbell rings in the middle of the night or something and your
heart's pounding it's not your greatest fear a house visitor yeah oh my god someone's coming to
my house yeah um yeah no this is this is faster than you could conceivably ever get your heart
through anything really like you know i've done exercise i've had sex uh my heart still
doesn't you have i have at least twice uh in fact just to confirm what's it was twice it's it's
pretty good it's pretty good nice nice nice but uh it's your heart rate you know that this is
would you say anything's anything's better than it than sex or a massive heart rate than
than sex yeah there's loads of things that are as good and maybe even better than sex or a massive heart rate than dead sex yeah there's loads of things that are as good
and maybe even better than sex the older you get i guess definitely like um like for example just
like sitting down and reading a newspaper in silence and really good cup of tea like honestly
just having a cigar you're right there are certain things like like having a drink of water yeah
after a long uh after a long walk on your zimmer frame
yeah after having sex yeah having a having a much needed drink of water i mean i do think
sex gives you a satisfaction level in your bones almost it feels like you know yes like the goal
achieved because it's like that's the whole purpose of us as as living things really is to have sex regardless you know our body doesn't know that uh you know there's not going to be a baby
as a result of this sex our body's just like well job done we can now die happily and you get a deep
sense of calm and peace maybe that's just me i don't know i just feel like i've done my my role
as a no it is absolutely um like hacking your hormones or whatever.
There's this thing, isn't there,
about how you get certain hormones
from cuddling
and certain hormones from exercise
and certain hormones...
Different hormones from
nutting on someone's face.
That's a whole different set of hormones.
But it's also supposed to be
the drugs thing, isn't it?
Like heroin or whatever
is supposed to, you know fuck with that hormone
so it's kind of that's why people get addicted to it because it's very much like this thing that
you can't get from other sources necessarily yeah i think i could be talking shit sounds right yeah
no but you're supposed to yeah a lot of people talk about how they're supposed to try and
hack their hormones do you hear about this like movement
almost no i don't read as widely or as deeply as you do apparently well into the corners of the
internet it's like you know there's like different things that you're supposed to do and try and you
know like keep your body in shape in order to i think there's this like list of like four or five
hormones that you get from different locations you can get them from and you're supposed to try and you know like this is why you should try and do a little bit of exercise
every day and also i don't know hold hands with a dog and just i don't know do stuff like um
that humans should do man i love holding hands with dogs like that's the best yeah
like makes you feel my dog doesn't like it when you hold her paw she sort of looks at your hand
holding her paw and then she looks at you and then she tries to pull it away they don't like it when you hold her paw. She sort of looks at your hand holding her paw and then she looks at you and then she tries to pull it away.
They don't like it.
You have to train them.
You have to train them to like it.
Okay.
I will try that.
It's the same with humans.
You just got to convince them that it's the play.
That's the play.
Wear them down over a long period of time.
That's right.
Break their spirit.
But yeah, so anyway, so I went in and I was there for a couple of hours while they, you know,
they wanted to make sure that I wasn't eating anything, basically,
because the way the procedure goes, you're conscious.
Like they give you local anesthetic.
And so they need to keep you awake.
They need to induce an attack of SVT.
So they want to sort of get your heart racing.
So because this was a procedure called an ablation, which is basically they're going to burn part of your heart.
Right.
So your heart is covered in these tiny nerve clusters and lines and cables and everything.
And that's the route that the electrical signals take from the top part of your heart that spreads
down in a sort of expanding pattern to make it all beat in the right sequence.
And the problem with SVT is that as the electricity goes down your heart,
it sort of hits a circuit breaker and comes back on itself.
So part of your heart is going like crazy,
which is why you start to get lightheaded and you get numbness in your sort of extremities.
And your blood is not pumping properly.
It's a very shallow, inefficient beat.
So to fix it, they rewire your heart a little bit by burning these troublesome nerves and hopefully that it all carries on from
there so the only way to do this is to essentially go in through the veins in your like left and right
of your junk basically the big veins in your groin because they're nice and visible on top there
and there's nothing in the way you can get right in there and then those go straight up to your
heart right so what they do is they cut in a little bit and they put these massive uh cables
up there like they put them all the way up through your veins right and then through those cables
they have very fine metal probes and things like that. And one of them, the big cable, has a little fucking burner on the end.
So they make these and they cut.
The doctor said to me, this should be the only bit that's uncomfortable
is when I'm giving you the local anesthetic in your legs.
So into my thighs, right at the top, right near my junk,
they're going to put these injections.
So I'm wheeled into the operating room. So it all up you can't feel it upper leg yeah because it's honestly that
the holes that they make are quite quite big like they're probably um let me think what they'd be
comparable to geez i don't know they're quite big like a small snake going into like a yes you
could like the the width of a thick earthworm so quite quite it's like the width of a thick earthworm.
So quite, quite, quite. It's like some kind of sci-fi horror, isn't it?
Well, you wait, you wait, because it really does get pretty horrible.
So I'm wheeled in there and they say to me.
I'm already clenching.
I know.
The fact that they're messing around down there.
I know.
Is already like making me clench my butt.
You'd think that they're messing around down there is the worst of it.
They say to me, Edward, we are now going to have to shave quite extensively,
like, you know,
because I'm quite a hairy dude down there.
And they were like,
we're going to have to shave quite extensively your chest.
Jesus Christ.
It's a jungle down here.
Get the shears.
Get the machete.
We need the explorer's hat.
They're shaving my chest,
which I'm used to.
I've had that like three or four times now.
So they shave all patches of that
and they're sticking all these EKG things on.
It's a jungle in here.
It is literally a jungle. I think I've found
some lost treasure. Indiana fucking
Jones is going to pop up. There's a pyramid in here
with a pre-Columbus
civilisation.
Well, the worst part was that
they cover the rest of you with a sheet
but they've got a special sheet with
like a letterbox sized hole
that went right over my penis and testicles so they are just hanging out um visible like a klu klux
klan suit like that but instead of just covering just their eyes show and it's just their their
their cock and balls they'd like so they're just hanging out there in the middle of the operating
theater right sex show it was great and there's like nine people in this room.
And the most awkward part was like,
they keep coming over to see how I am
and to help out with the procedure and everything.
You know, they're all there for a reason.
They're not just spectators.
And every time they come over to talk to me,
they'll sort of talk to me
and then they'll look at my nuts and my balls
and my cock and everything.
And they'll sort of look.
And then they'll look back at me
and then they'll carry on with their work.
I'm like, you don't have to have a fucking look.
You know, imagine you're at the urinal and you know you know you're not
carefully peeking at everybody's junk well it felt like they were a little bit obviously what
they're looking at i am i like to i like to compare i like to see what's out there you know
i want to make sure that nobody is that's good for you you should work in a fucking operating
theater man maybe i should you get to see a lot of dicks in there you can't help looking at you really have to work hard for your eyes not to just pop down there if there was like a
completely nude woman in front of me and i was i would have to work so hard to not just
yeah but bear in mind especially if i was a medical doctor they usually they cover like cover over everything though give you like no it was just there like i
could feel the feel the breeze yeah so it was like the reverse of clothes like honestly in any other
situation i would have clothes on that one part if i could choose one part of my body to have
clothes on it would be my private parts so So, sorry, currently I feel like you are wearing
a cheap Halloween ghost costume
with a letterbox with your cock and balls
and just your head.
Your balls fucking egg at the top.
My head, there's an egg.
If I were to walk into a room, a white room,
all I would see would be a floating egg and a cock and balls.
Yeah.
Partially shaved.
It's a dream.
I assume.
Covered in this, they put this sort of orange uh disinfectant
paint on there uh like they slather that all over there so they've given me this bright orange
crotch and and there i mean to be fair that you know they've also then shoved cables up my my
groin veins do you reckon the orange is like um works doubly as a sort of hat like a
water like you know how road workers have to wear the orange jackets the fluorescent stuff do you
reckon like it keeps them aware of where the cock and balls are at all times frankly you couldn't
miss there's never any chance there's nothing else so the doctor's like he injects the local
and at this point i'm just thinking well whatever i mean you know, geez, I don't care if there's like nine people staring at my junk.
I just want this over with.
And I think this isn't going to be too bad.
And they've got an x-ray machine, which is like a robot.
So no one's like manually controlling it.
They'll just adjust the angle and the whole.
It's like a big arm.
Is it loose?
Is it like talking to you and stuff?
No, thank God.
Morning, Mr. Flags. And then it's like looking down at your balls it loose? Is it like talking to you and stuff? No, thank God. Good morning, Mr. Flags.
And then it's like looking down at your balls occasionally.
It looks back at me.
Mmm, icy.
Yeah, and it sort of...
It's like a jungle down there
that someone sprayed with aged orange.
Open new file, smallest penis on record.
Uploading to Twitter feed.
But it just lurched up and down it just lurches
up and down so sometimes it's coming right at my head and other times it's going like all over the
place right so i was just like well i'll just hold still and there's a big widescreen tv on my left
luckily not showing a giant close-up of my junk but instead showing the x-ray of my heart. And they push these cables,
they're about the thickness of a mouse cable. So the cable on your mouse, slightly thicker than
that, is being pushed up through the veins in your groin all the way to your heart. So when they're
inserting these cables, you can feel it going inside you and bumping past things. And as it's
going past them, you'll feel these weird
sensations like imagine if you kind of needed the loo a little bit and someone pushed on your
kidneys you'd kind of feel like you needed a wee right yeah and if someone pushes in your stomach
you kind of feel that so imagine this cable sort of excuse me just bumping past it feels like it
was really weird and that i'm quite uncomfortable so when it went past
the part it felt like my back hurt because it's obviously bumping against some spinal thing and
then when it went past my my stomach i felt hungry and it was bizarre and then it got up to my heart
and at that point they fed all these cables in and your heartbeat is normally obviously very steady
it start they start basically zapping it with electricity to try and make it go freaky
and see which bit they zap to make it go freaky.
So they want to induce an attack
with electric shocks and chemicals.
Holy fuck.
It's like a rogue American cop is loose
or a normal American cop is loose in your heart,
just tasering everyone.
Literally.
And just for no reason.
At one point they had the current slightly too high.
So other bits of my
torso were like freaking out and like clenching and flexing like they were getting minor electric
shocks and i was like oh and the doctor said are you all right i said well the right side of my
body is just like vibrating and he's like oh the current's too high tom can you bring the current
down a little bit and he was oh yeah sorry so the other guy on the control desk is sort of pulling all these levers
and things he's got like fucking testicles on his arms held up charge the electricals he's alive
i was already alive he's still alive so then they've got the x-ray and i can see all these
cables in my heart in the x-ray.
They've got them lined up, and they start,
and they're like, oh, there it goes,
and my heart suddenly goes like 200 BPM.
And then they're like, right, stop,
and they stop everything.
They're like, right, let's try and do that again,
because they've got to be sure that they found the right bit.
And they do it again, and they're like, right, that's the bit.
And they were like, you're very lucky, Mr. Forsythe.
I was like, why is that? And they were like, well, it has to be, the easiest way to do it again and they're like right that's the bit and they were like you're very lucky mr forsyth i was like why is that and they were like well it has to be if the easiest way to
do it is if the the problem is on the right side of your heart in an easy to reach place otherwise
they have to puncture through your heart to get to the left otherwise i'm gonna have to go to this
other machine and shrink down uh to the size of a of an Exactly. And to drive this little taxi,
which will also be shrunk down,
and I'm going to have a cop with me.
He's going to have a taser,
and he's going to have to come and taser your heart.
So it's very difficult to get to.
I know this sounds complicated,
and you're on a lot of drugs right now,
but don't worry.
It's all perfectly normal.
It felt like that.
But we didn't have to do that bit thank god
um so because that would have been staying in overnight in a special drain because all your
heart bleeds and everything like that so thankfully that didn't happen um and then they drain yeah
they put you in the sewer what kind of hospital is this you go all kind of back alley hospital
i never said it was a hospital you just went to you just went into a back alley
and ats break and break and tire master oh it's the illegal garage down the road
yeah mate we'll rewire your fucking art in no time right back son get his cock out john look at that
yeah paint it orange john paint it orange oh yeah look at that what's this for
oh we just
think it's funny
mate
so then they
send up the
big lad
which is the
ablation tube
and that sort of
goes up
and then
that one was
really uncomfortable
and I can see
the doctor like
straining to like
push it up there
like he's unblocking
a drain
and off it goes
so Christ
sorry sorry
so the taser
tube was a
different tube
to the
burn tube the taser tube was a different tube to the yeah
the taser tube is how they they there's like that's got sensors on and electrical thingies to
make your heart go nuts and then the um ablation thing is like a tiny little burner i don't know
what it looks like i didn't get a look at it i didn't look like a little lighter on something
like that literally and they go up there and then they start burning and then they'll make another
attack i bet you it looks like the fucking cigarette lighter i honestly think it does i Something like that, literally. And they go up there and then they start burning and then they'll make another attack happen.
I bet you it looks like the fucking cigarette lighter.
I honestly think it does.
I think it looks like a miniature one of those.
Yeah, in a car.
A car cigarette lighter.
People will remember those from 30 years ago.
From the 80s, yeah.
So they basically burn a bit
and then they start an attack again,
then they burn a bit,
and then they start an attack to see if they've got it.
And we got very close to this one part of your heart that is like a really important cluster right
and if they burn that then they have to put a pacemaker in and just you have a pacemaker for
the rest of your life and the doctor was like we don't want to go down that route because you're
he said his words you're a young man which i was the highlight of my day wow yesterday to be honest
with you he said you're a young man.
We don't want to give you a pacemaker.
And I was like, oh, doctor, you flatter me.
So they stopped.
Man, oh, man.
So they stopped.
But it's not 100% perfect fix, unfortunately.
He was like, unfortunately, we were still able to induce an episode.
And ideally, when they've done all the burning burning they can't anymore um but they still were
able to get it but it wasn't a full attack they could sort of it was like previously it was like
starting an engine and it goes nuts now it's like revving an engine so it goes like that so my heart
will accelerate up to a very fast rate but then just stop again so he said when your heart heals
like when all the burning and everything is healed,
the ablating, then you might, it might be fine. Uh, we might have to, you might have to be on medication like permanently basically to, to slow it. Uh, or if I start to feel an attack, I could
take beta blockers or something. I don't know, but it shouldn't be hopefully as bad as it was.
Right. And it should be maybe less frequent. so i'm hopeful but yeah it wasn't the
it wasn't a goal we basically we have we have to call in var and we're still waiting for the for
the result we're not sure if it crossed the line but it doesn't look like it did right so
unfortunately uh not not the best but um so now i i've come home and i can't have a shower for
three days uh which isn't ideal because i've got quite a lot of blood on me and i have two very large injuries just to the left and right of me uh me crotch
basically where they went in and a lot of bruising and i feel a bit bit weird right but other than
that yeah did you do you feel like somebody has um like invaded you it felt very violating at the
time because you could feel things wiggly
It was like having snakes in your stomach like wiggling about it was like that
But to anyone out there who needs to have an ablation bear this in mind the the pain
I would say I've had much worse pain at the dentist
The injections if you can handle an injection honestly
That's the worst part of it the rest of it just feels weird
And it's sort of like the pain of like imagine if you were sitting uncomfortably, but weren't
able to move. It's just that kind of pain, not actual sort of like, ah, you know, sort
of pain. And I mean, afterwards, once the local wore off, there's very little pain.
It's a bit stiff, a bit sore. Walking is a bit trickier. You know, you've got to take
it easy, but it's really not that bad.
Nice. So I would say if you are in line for an ablation don't be worried obviously for
dramatic effect i have made it sound worse um and if you have a massive hog uh go for it you know
you can basically everybody has to stare at your massive donger so if that's a thing you'd like go
that sounds perfect for me that sounds i need that We've been on lockdown for so long and stuff.
Like I just need somebody to just stare at my big Johnson.
Like, right.
I'm at that point.
Anyway, I'm glad that you went through the experience of having a chestburster.
You now know what it feels like to have a chestburster from Alien.
Well, again, I don't want to put anybody off the operation or procedure who might be going through it.
But it's not as bad as a chestburster, I'd have to say.
Well, it didn't burst out of the chest, just back out of your balls area.
A ballburster.
A ballburster.
Well, I mean, the other thing, like maybe, you know, a little bit like what it's like to have a baby growing inside you now.
I knew you'd think something ridiculous like that.
What?
Because you feel it like pressing on your organs and stuff.
It's weird.
No.
You know?
What, for like the split second that he had that for
as opposed to like the nine months?
And the fact that it's a living thing that you've created and love and all that.
And then at the end of it gets the joy of passing it through their vajazzle as well.
Yeah, okay.
How about we do this?
How about like they had like an inflatable balloon on a worm and they put that into your gutty works.
And they like just inflated it over the nine months that your wife was pregnant.
So you were both pregnant and you could both experience that joy together except yours was just i'll be honest with you a fart i would really hope
that my wife didn't insist that i also went through the as you put it joy of pregnancy um
because you need somebody you need somebody who's who's physically capable of bending over to pick
things up and uh whose don't swell up.
No, I think you should both be like two massively oversized balls wobbling around hopelessly together to share that experience.
And then finally you're lying there next to each other at the end on separate hospital beds.
You turn to her and say, I know what you went through now and she'd
fucking punch you in the face so hard but you're passing some really painful gas like you're
farting out the experience and she's laughing because it's funny and that releases endorphins
and that helps the pain get relieved i hope you're never put in charge of anything close.
And then you have maybe a robot baby.
You get given a robot baby.
This is a series of awful ideas.
This whole thing is like one of those things that your kids comes up with, eh?
Imagine in Minecraft you get a villager and then you put dirt on him
and then you fly in the sky.
It's just going everywhere. It just going everywhere recounting their dream yeah yeah that's just how i want it to be sorry before we recorded today
mrs f said to me now don't go telling people uh that this is like awful and traumatic and
everything because you i i personally hate it when um and i see this a lot and any ladies
out there who've been pregnant uh might be able to back me up when a woman is pregnant other women
who have had babies insist on telling them their horrific birth stories and how terrifying and
awful it is and like veterans who are coming back from the front and you're one of the replacement
that's a big no no you're not meant to really do that you don't do that and i definitely see women do that and it's awful um so i definitely
did not want to tell people about some awful procedure it really wasn't that bad everyone
was very professional and uh they were all very understanding and helpful and it was it was as
as as discomforting as it was and as sort of in a sense it was a little bit humiliating and uh
dehumanizing well i mean that's the nature of uh operations so you do feel like you feel violated
after because you especially if you've been under anesthetic or whatever you wake up and
you know some like part of your leg has been um shaved and there's like markings on your
right on you and stuff.
You just feel like you've been treated like a piece of meat,
you know,
like,
and you weren't even aware.
Which essentially you are.
You're just,
you're just meat that they want to send home in,
in similar or better condition to the way they received it.
That's pretty much it.
But it's,
it's pretty incredible the day and age.
Oh yeah.
I think they have to have this distance though,
in a sense.
It's part of their training to,
to kind of see your problems
as yeah things that need to be fixed but they also i think especially the nurses like in a way
the doctors especially the the like in the theater they only see you come in they do the operation
you go the nurses are the ones who have to deal with you being scared or anxious or being in pain
afterwards they've got to deal with you pressing the buzzer a few minutes and saying,
I need water, you know, all this kind of crap.
So they need to appear very caring.
They need to be very pleasant right off the bat.
And then they need to forget about you
when you walk out the door
because they can't build up in their head concern
for all these people coming in and everything.
You know, it's very tough.
But they were all incredible. They were incredible, really, all the people that were there. And you know it's it's very tough um but they were all incredible
they were incredible really all the people that were there and you know what else surprised me
um actually it didn't surprise me at all but i think people need to think about this when people
talk about foreigners coming over here and taking their jobs i don't want to get political i i really
don't want to on this podcast because i know people don't like it. I saw out of probably the 30 people
that I dealt with at the hospital yesterday, two people, two who were white and English.
Everybody else was either English and not white or had come from another country.
Wow.
And it was literally all the people in the operating theater, apart from the anesthetist,
in the operating theatre, apart from the anaesthetist, were not white. And I thought, you know, in some people's minds, all these people should be sent back where they came from.
No, no. They're crying out for health service.
We wouldn't have a fucking health service.
We're not producing enough here. They have to reach out abroad to get people who know what
they're doing in its market forces right so for example I know that the Philippines exports if you like a lot of
nurses three of the nurses I saw yesterday were yeah because I think they
have this it's almost like a kind of cultural thing where they have a lot
actually a lot of nursing schools in the Philippines. And you go there and you train as a nurse and you go
away as a temporary or worker to a foreign country and you work there. And it's partly
because there's not many jobs there locally, but also I think relative to income levels,
it pays quite well, even though I'm sure we pay the nurses not very much at all.
But it's this thing where almost the Philippinesilippines is not a country that you think
of in the global stage as this large place yet there are filipino nurses all over the place yeah
and there's something also it's something like i think nail salons are the other thing that is it
vietnamese people like something like all of the nail salons in america or some huge amount like
80 percent of nail salons are runica or some huge amount like 80 percent of
nail salons are run by vietnamese immigrants so it's one of these things where they actually
they have a big culture of it in vietnam and it's something which they've got a big community of
people doing in america so there's a lot of support for it and it's like oh you know i know someone
who's opened a nail salon we could tell you how to do it this is this is exactly like the guide
you need to it's almost like opening a franchise of mcdonald's i guess or something you know um it's it's kind of this strange
phenomenon right so i think you've got to understand that when there are
people willing to come here and work for not very much what's the incentive for us to pay them or
what's the incentive for us to to train up and be be paid not so much you know You know, I think like it is the market that's caused this in a sense.
And it's a strange phenomenon.
But I don't want to criticize what we – I think that we need to pay these people properly and fairly for what they do.
And I sympathize with both sides. I think that teachers and nurses and these kind of jobs for a long time were,
especially before the pandemic, were looked down on a little bit.
Whereas, in fact, I think they're some of the most important jobs in society,
you know, and they are hard jobs too, right?
Oh, yeah.
Like, you know, you can imagine like...
It's a calling.
Teaching every day and nursing every day.
God, that's like a hard job, you know you can imagine like a calling teaching every day and nursing every day god that's like a that's like a hard job you know not like sitting on the fucking like like like spending half an
hour in the photocopier room like smoking like pretending that oh the photocopy is broken you
know just hiding in there you know or browsing your phone it's like it's like in the toilet
where you're you know where your boss is not not there for the day it's like it's like i don't know
it's not it's not the same is it. It's like, I don't know.
It's not the same, is it really?
It's like you can't slack off as a nurse or a teacher.
That's a really important one. It's a tough one.
Okay, so this week's sponsor for the Triforce podcast,
it's ExpressVPN.
Wow.
That's right.
You can get three months free at expressvpn.com slash Triforce.
Lewis, could you perhaps put it in the form of an analogy
that would make sense to me, a humble man?
Yeah, imagine you've got a sheet and it covers everything,
but that sheet has a hole in it,
which anyone can look through and see your...
If you're not using a VPN,
you're basically just flopping your cock and balls...
Brightly painted orange, yeah.
...out of a sheet for everyone to see. You know, why not get a little, you're basically just flopping your cock and balls. Brightly painted orange, yeah. Out of a sheet for everyone to see.
You know, why not get a little
patch, sew it
over there, just to keep it secret
and keep it safe from prying eyes.
But how is my big throbbing cock
then gonna burst out of the
sheet if it's sewn closed, I'm wondering.
Well, you can do that if you want,
but if you wanted to keep your giant
uh, whole safety member private, you can do that if you want, but if you wanted to keep your giant, uh, whole Satan member private,
this is what happens when they let us do our own adverts.
I love it.
So yeah, if you want to stay private online,
you can visit expressvpn.com slash triforce today.
VPN remember stands for visible penis no i like that expressvpn.com slash triforce thank you thank you um we'll carry on
well would you like some uh change of pace news change of pace what's what's next on the list
of things you've done yeah go on give us the Give us the next news. Oh, no, I've done nothing.
This is just something that happened.
Logan Paul bought $2 million worth of Pokemon cards.
Wow.
Sure he did.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's fucking ridiculous, isn't it?
Well, he's rich, though. He's a ridiculous person.
I mean, it's...
But if he wanted to, like...
I just can't think of anything...
Like, it's so many things at once that I hate.
It's Logan Paul.
It's rich people blowing their money on stupid shit just because they can.
And then,
you know,
also telling people that if they're poor,
they need to suck it up.
It's buying fucking Pokemon cards without money,
which is,
which is also ridiculous.
And it's doing it purely for content.
There has to be a cheaper way to create
content than blowing two million dollars on fucking pokemon cards it basically it's all my
all my trigger points in one in one news story so because like when i heard that i thought that
must be a lot of pokemon cards right but no apparently like sometimes there's like one box
it's like half a million dollars yeah it's ridiculous because this has got some really rare
stuff in it it's like fucking i feel like when like 10 years ago i should have gotten into
bitcoin and dogecoin and fucking pokemon cards you know these things they just they i feel like
it's i feel like it's too late now right it's too late but that's what i
thought 10 years ago i thought 10 years ago i thought uh they're making documentaries about
bitcoin it's not gonna go anywhere like jermaine and all these other things and i don't know i
you constantly go through life seeing things that you think oh if only i'd kept my things i was i
was too old for pokemon cards right at school at school when
pokemon cards came out yeah stuff i was in sixth form or whatever so i was kind of like past it at
that point and then i they were never something that i was interested in but i guess logan paul
maybe was secretly he's a nerd or something um and now he's just because he's just so ludicrously rich he can just do that
as an investment and they're not gonna lose value right pokemon cards pokemon's going nowhere
you know don't see pokemon ruining its reputation anyhow do you they're not adding like anything too
weird like a dick pokemon or anything you know it's all gonna stick around forever it's not
gonna offend anyone well maybe some of the old ones will actually but do you mean it's like it's it's pokemons gonna stick around for 20 years they're
gonna keep making pokemon cards people love card games more than ever you can't know that i mean
look at it feels like you can't go wrong though it felt like a huge thing who the fuck cares about
pogs yeah i mean it's it's you're either into it or you're not right like you can't you can't look
back and be like oh i wish i would have like gotten into that or done this or whatever. It just just doesn't serve you in any way. Right. Like you just have to like move forward. No regrets. Do the wait. Wait for the thing that you actually like to, you know, to to pop off, as they say, or not. I mean, like, you know, it doesn't matter who cares exactly people make it people
have bitcoins that are are worth a lot okay cool like if you were if you understood it back then
and you and you invested in it and you got into it and now you you're lucky it's it's it's paid
off for you cool like i mean i'm not at all interested in that i would never bother with
anything like that like it's just you know what i mean like i'm not there's
just other things i want to do like um yeah play minecraft and stuff so i mean also think about
all those people who bought star wars toys when they first came out yeah kept them in the boxes
yeah never touched them they must have been adults at the time who thought if i wait 50 years this
stuff will be worth a fortune sure carefully bought and saved all that stuff, kept it in mint condition.
I mean, it's sucking all the fun out of life.
If you treat everything that you purchase as,
is this going to be an investment?
Is this worth storing in a vault somewhere?
Just do it with regular stuff.
Buy some wine.
I don't like this sort of emphasis on stuff as well.
I try not to like...
The only thing that I have that that like i
would miss if i didn't have it is my computer because i use it all the time but i don't have
anything else valuable like you know that stuff you know i haven't i don't collect anything i
don't have like anything that's overly sentimental you know what i mean like i i'd rather just go
through my whole life not worrying about stuff and just concentrating like on you know maybe people or whatever you know what i mean like
yeah yeah i would never just buy something with a name to like oh this is gonna be worth something
one day i'm gonna sell this like i like for some people i get it that's fun and and and fair play
to you but that it's it's it's not for me and And I would never... I agree with you, but I am slightly different
in that I do hoard things that mean something to me.
So I have a lot of comics and a lot of books
and role-playing stuff and old games and things
that remind me of being younger.
Yeah.
And I hold on to them.
And I also have some fucking DVDs.
Like, I don't know why I still...
And CDs.
Yeah, I mean...
But these CDs I had at university. Yeah. And I i just there's an attachment there for me that you know that i i hate throwing
old things away i haven't added much lately like i don't buy that much in terms of comics and stuff
like that but the stuff that i did have yeah like my old version of car wars and all the old auto
jeweler quarterly magazines i still got loads of that yeah i'm not saying i don't have any of this
stuff i do like right but and and like i'm just as guilty like i wouldn't say i'm a hoarder but like if i
get something it just goes into the a pile like next to my shelf or whatever and you know
occasionally i get angry that it's there because it's like in in the way at certain points or
whatever and it's not stuff that i ever go back and look at again you know what i mean like i'm not going to go back and like organize my dvd collection or anything
like that like right i know i have it i might watch it again at some point or whatever but
the likelihood is there's that that thing is just forgotten and is just occupying space somewhere
yeah but that space is kind of written off anyway because because I'm too lazy to do anything about it.
I wouldn't go out of my way to chuck all of this stuff out.
But at the same time, if I was going to be sort of regretful of anything, I would be
of the mind like, why am I not just chucking this stuff out?
Like why am I so attached to this stuff?
Why do I need it?
I don't ever look at it.
You know what I mean?
Like I don't ever think about it. It's just there, you know? So you're sort of a Marie Kondo-ish, if it doesn't bring me joy,
I'm going to say thank you and get rid of it. Yeah. But that's not like, it's not at the
forefront of my mind sort of thing. I'd say now I'm more like, if we're, if we go to town and
we're, we're shopping or whatever, and my kids are like, can I get this? So can I get that?
My mindset's different. Like, I'll be like, yeah, okay, sure. But for me, it's like, yeah,
I'm going to throw that out in a week, like when they're done with it. Like, this is going to be
fun for them. They want to just like acquire this thing, and that's the fun. And then they'll get
home and play with it for like an hour or whatever. But next week, I'm going to chuck it out.
Well, my mom's way of dealing with that for me i remember very well is anytime
i wanted anything new she would make me chuck something out right right so i would always be
like wrestling with myself because i feel like as a kid i didn't have that much stuff you know
to me it didn't feel like a lot but to her it sort of was a lot of mess and so as a result
i was always wrestling with that i guess like i'm the
same and i guess the extreme end of it is hoarding and never throwing anything away um and you see
those kind of people and you can see the rationale for that right where you think oh well you know
it's horrible to have that feeling that you think oh i really need that thing but i threw it away
but so i i'm the same i don't tend to chuck stuff away i tend to build up stuff and put it in
put it in boxes in case i'm gonna play that board game all that yeah and the other thing is like
actually it feels bad to throw these things away because you want to take them to a charity shop
you know i've got like a whole i've got like three full bags of stuff like old books and yeah
like books and game games and stuff like that if i wasn't going to use them um yeah i would just
give them to like a charity place but like need to take those most of the stuff that i
have is like old wires and stuff like like old like old adapters for like stuff i don't even
use anymore hdmi cables and like i've got boxes full of this shit it's so satisfying to think oh
shit i've got this thing that needs to
charge or whatever and i need a cable for it i wonder if i've got one and you go in your fucking
cable drawer and full it sure it's full of like snakes it never feels good though because you
always feel like you're compromised like i've got this i've got the cable but it's about 10 feet too
short but i'll make it work because i got the cable like rather than just fucking throwing that out and just getting a new one that actually will like you know perfectly cover you for the purpose
yeah or it's gotta go through an adapter or something it's got like two cables into each
other and you're like well maybe this will work i don't know there's like there's a bunch of
things like that but like i i like the idea of separating yourself from like material stuff as much as you
can obviously it's like it's you're i'm not saying like become nature boy and like go and smother
yourself in dirt and have no no belongings whatsoever like i like to have some stuff but
i like the idea that i can be sort of divorced from from stuff generally you know what i mean
like that i think it's not important to me buy
which suddenly gives you lots of stuff is like lego yeah like that's that's the thing where
suddenly you've got this thing that you've spent a lot of time assembling it feels like a pain in
the ass to disassemble it i feel like my kids are the same as me in some ways too because
even with lego i know and i know some people will buy
lego they'll put it together and then they'll display it somewhere or whatever but my son's
not like that with his lego like the the the fun of lego is is building it for him so like he'll
follow the instructions he'll build it he'll play with it a little bit take it apart and like remake
parts of it or something or change things around or whatever and then he's done you know what i mean like it's not like he doesn't have to like set it up on a shelf when it's done
and all this stuff you know like most of it just gets wrecked and then goes into the big bin of
lego where you know there's about 10 different sets worth of mixed lego in there now i wonder
at what age that will change over though and he'll become proud of his creations and not want to take
them apart.
Because that definitely happened to me.
I don't know.
I mean, maybe it'll come, but maybe it won't.
I was never like that.
I was always very much like, I used to build Lego.
I used to play this game with my friend where we would build, we had tons of Lego between us.
We'd build these big elaborate bases.
And then you'd have like a like a power generator like in the middle and
once you built your big base you could build like little vehicles and stuff and we'd like set them
up on opposite ends of the room like against each other and then we'd make like a like a little
brick that was like a ball and throw it like back and forth and try to like break each other's bases
like you had to like hit like the power generator sort of thing it was really fun did you guys did you guys ever play a game called crossbows and catapults um i've heard of that
actually so this was a this was in the 80s i loved this that was the sort of naming convention
for board games right that's sort of it feels like dragons and crossbows and catapults. It feels like the pre... Because if the iPhone SEO was kingdoms of battle and wars...
Throne of games.
Throne of wars.
War of thrones.
Yeah.
It's now...
It used to be blah, blah and blah, blah.
So crossbows and catapults, you had...
It was red versus blue.
And you each had a catapult that was powered
by an elastic band, and a crossbow
that was also powered by an elastic band.
It was generally you had to play it on a smooth floor,
so either a hardwood floor or the kitchen surface
or something like that, or on a very large table.
And you had bricks and little ramparts and stuff,
and you built your little castle, and they built theirs,
and you had to launch these little disks,
little hard plastic disks,
at each other's walls
with the objective of knocking their wall down.
And I think there was a goal,
like a particular standard
or something that you had to knock over to win.
It was a fucking banger of a game.
I loved it.
Nice.
I loved it.
See, I've looked at a picture of it.
The walls are made of basically fake Lego bricks. Yes. And so, I mean looked at a picture of it. The balls are made of basically fake Lego bricks.
Yes.
And so, I mean, as a kid, I'm sure, Sips,
you probably saw adverts for this fucking game on TV or somewhere.
Maybe.
We just did it ourself.
It was just a fun game that we used to play all the time.
Like, if we were just at somebody's house,
and we, like, into our teens as well, sometimes we'd just, we were just at somebody's house like and we like into our
teens as well sometimes we just like be at somebody's house or whatever and we just bust
out lego and just play play that game like it was always like the sort of staple thing that we did
i can imagine it getting quite sort of deeply strategic like the matter but the whole like
lego talk thing came from that because i remember so many times we'd all be just like hanging around
building lego not really concentrating
on what we were saying to each other or like singing dumb songs and not you know like you
have those moments where you're like you know changing the lyrics to a song while you're
building Lego because but you're not paying attention and then suddenly you're like what
did he just fucking say and then you're just like all laughing but you're like deliriously tired
from like building Lego or whatever it was just
lots lots of that like it was good times but um sort of just like reinforcing the point that like
i never built anything in lego for it to you know last and be displayed or whatever it was very much
like you built something no you played it like sort of amongst your friends in sort of a little
gaming yeah yeah it reminds me of ben's story about how
he and his friend used to play learned how to play go and um played that with each other over
the course of like a year and became kind of both of them became what they thought was really really
good and so then one day they went online and they were like together we're gonna go and play
online and see if we can um
you know because together we we'd be unbeaten right because we played this game for ages and
they made like two moves in a go game against this online opponent and he just said have you guys
ever played have you sorry have you ever played the game before you knew they played so they so
weirdly and like badly well yeah but i mean when they didn't even
know like basic yeah i know but when you play a game in isolation like that the there's like your
your meta between you and your friends is so different isn't it to like what the like a larger
you know sampling of people are playing right so like i can see also it's more of um a globally like chess i guess you
have to in order to be good you have to understand what's what strategies have come before you can't
just look at a chess yeah a brand new chess player needs to study a century of chess as it would be
like if you're starting items in dota i mean we we actually like i do the in-houses on it on a
tuesday where we get new players in and they play for our amusement.
And in the last few weeks, we've had brand new players in,
like brand new.
Like there was a guy who had never played a game before
and he bought two magic ones, sorry, two magic sticks.
So that's not a thing.
Like the moment you see that in Dota, you're like,
okay, this person has no idea what they're doing.
Very simple.
One very simple one
very simple thing and you would automatically know yeah or just like what the items they build are
and what region they bought everything and how they level their hero it's the same deal like
there's just a way to play certain games that is it's not even min maxing it's just like it would
be like if your second move in chess was to move your king forward it's like what what like what
are you doing exactly i
would imagine that like ben and his friend had some real insights into the game you know that
they'd learned but it was kind of trumped by the fact that you know century that someone who just
picked up one go book and read it for 10 minutes probably knew basic opening that they didn't know
right imagine like if you were a footballer i'm sure as a footballer there's loads of stuff to read right and you have to study right but it feels like you
could become a footballer and just learn the game figure it out get good at the physical aspects of
it and never have to pick up a book or go through a series of lessons yeah i'm sure the modern game
does require that and probably would benefit from it but it certainly
feels different to how you know the like there's like a raw talent there right whereas i think that
the these these games where you have full information um like chess are it's something
you just have to put such an incredible amount of work into it's because i because i was talking
to various people about chess this week and people are so interested in chess you know it's we talked about it a couple
of weeks ago as well and um i've been trying to i've been playing a couple of games and every time
i'm like i'm so fucking hopeless at this because i i just i just don't see really obvious stuff
that is like i don't even see one move ahead almost like i can't
and i can't like i try and look at it and it's like i i think of myself like beth harman or
whatever from that the netflix show and i'm like i need some kind of drugs to just help me
like pass that what i'm looking at this complexity it's just it's just too much you you you need to
put a lot of work into chess. Like, it's like anything.
But in the same sense as, like, playing StarCraft is frustrating because I feel like there's too much, right?
I feel like at StarCraft, I'm constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough.
And when I'm playing chess, I'm constantly feeling like I'm not smart enough.
I'm not considering everything that I want to try and consider.
Right.
Even, like, to a satisfactory level.
It's like I'm not able to really like like get my head around
anything for me that there is a fundamental difference obviously between chess and starcraft
in one of them if you if you start off playing chess games with a long amount of time to get
the hang of it it would be like um like you give yourself time to think and you just play enough
games and you start to see the same kinds of patterns and stuff like that. I'm not saying I'm a good chess player. I am not a good chess player.
But I play pretty much every day against the computer and I'm playing against the 1200 opponent
and I beat her maybe one time in three.
Just playing against these computer opponents gives you some practice.
Whereas in StarCraft, I'm never going to be good at it because, like you said,
I don't have that level of micro and macro.
I can't click that quickly.
It would be like trying to learn chess by playing just three-minute blitz chess.
And just like, it would be insane.
So you can just step back and play a much slower game.
And that helps.
Try that.
Because it is a really good game.
Also, there's no books.
You can't buy a book on chess and sit down and read StarCraft.
Oh, StarCraft.
Yeah, you can just learn openings and counters and stuff if you really want sorry for being a little low-key today
i was quite heavily sedated no no no no it's fine it's nice to just sort of um have a have a nice
chat i'm i'm like also a bit low-key today i'm just like it's just one of those days tired you
know it's empathy sips it's it's empathy yeah something happens to one corner of the triforce the other corners also feel i'm i'm
like a chameleon like i'm i'm sort of oh i'm reading the room i can detect i don't think of
some low keenness so i am low keying myself having corners i don't think triangle has corners i think
it has like apexes or vertexes or vertices something like that i don't think it has like apexes or vertexes. Vertices. Vertices, yeah. Something like that.
I don't think it has corners.
I wouldn't say like a 60-degree angle is a corner.
I don't think he was aiming for like, for technically being correct.
I think he was just, you know.
You've just actuallyed me about a throwaway comment, but let's figure it out.
I think it is a corner.
Let's talk about the corners.
They've got 25 wickies open, P-flax.
I just wouldn't have used that to i just
don't think of the trifles as having corners i think if you've been i'm thinking if you look at
if you look at a triangle three triangles can fit into the angles like where each of those angles
has a triangle in it like if you look at the triforce you wouldn't say that for instance
if you drew a triangle now and fit three smaller triangles inside it, there'd be a hole in the middle.
That's the power of friendship in the middle there.
And then you've got, I believe, Lewis is the top triangle,
Sips is the bottom left triangle, and I'm the bottom right triangle, right?
So we are tucked into the corners of the inner triangle,
the larger Triforce triangle.
We are the three corners.
So what I mean, because you and Sips and me and you and me and Sips all share a side,
but we don't all share a corner.
Each corner is unique to us.
No, you are absolutely right.
But you're going to tell me why I'm wrong.
No, you're not wrong.
But in my head, for some reason, I only like a corner if it's like a 90 degree angle.
A 90 degree angle.
I like putting a square sofa in a corner or whatever or a square table up against the corner.
So you're thinking more of furniture arrangement rather than...
I don't know.
Maybe.
Well, let us know in the comments what you think.
Not that I give a shit.
I have to respond to some bullshit already.
People listing...
After last week, I said that the British film industry,
I said, give me examples of films made in the last five years
with British money that were basically made for British audiences.
People were listing me films made...
One guy listed Trainspotting.
It was made in the fucking 90s.
In the 90s.
Yeah, it's hard to find more recent examples.
Like for me, particularly,
I just don't watch a lot of film anymore.
Like I tend more to watch TV series and stuff like that.
Of which there's plenty of examples of good British stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
But actual films that get released into theater and stuff like that,
I'm just not into them much anymore.
I don't really sit down and watch full movies anymore.
I'm good for like an hour.
I watch a movie like every day, I'd say.
I love it.
No, I mean, I could probably watch the equivalent of a movie every day
in terms of following TV shows or whatever.
But I just I don't know what's coming out.
I don't know what's come out.
I've missed a whole bunch of stuff.
I feel like being somebody who's not really into it.
I feel like there's so many superhero movies coming out that I'm just not interested in.
I just not I'm not into them at all.
Yeah, I think they peaked like yeah when when when endgame yeah um it feels
like every movie that comes out is some marvel you know wank fest and i just right i get that
people like it what and i'm i'm happy that they do but i i just don't and it just like i'm not
saying that's the sole reason i've been put off movies but that just seems to be what's big right
now you know like yeah that's what's coming out and i'm too stupid
i guess to like find other stuff that's coming out or just not interested enough so i just watch tv
instead i mean if you look at the marvel stuff i think you had all these great i personally really
loved the mcu build-up from like you know when you had like the the new iron man movie came out
and that seemed to change their approach and i think iron man and was such a great character and
robert downey's union was so good and then you had like the captain america movies but yeah yeah their approach. And I think Iron Man was such a great character and Robert Downey Jr.
was so good.
And then you had
the Captain America movies.
Initially, I thought
Captain America,
they'll be boring.
But they were really good
and then the Avengers movies
were really good
and the Thor movies
were really good.
And I thought,
wow, this is really something.
And then they kept adding
stuff like, you know,
new movies like
the Guardians of the Galaxy
and everything.
As a collection of movies,
honestly,
I can't think of a string of blockbusters
with a single theme and coherent characters like that
that was as good or successful or rewatchable.
Like, it was incredible.
But all those actors then got sick of playing those characters
and wanted to go do new things, which is understandable.
And then the supporting cast who replaced them,
essentially, they didn't want to do a reboot.
They didn't want to say,
right, we're going to start again from scratch
with all new characters, because it it's like you can't do that
it's taken 15 years or 20 years or whatever to build up this catalog of films yeah yeah so they
took some of those supporting actors or characters who perhaps weren't that interesting or that
important and made them the start of new new sort of series i'm just like no i don't i'm out like
i'm tapped out i've done it like. You've already done what I thought was
a really good... I mean, these were
blockbuster movies. You can't analyze them as art house
flicks. These were huge, big budget movies
with big name actors and stars and everything.
And the fact that they had this plot that ran
over all these movies and
wrapped up nicely, I was
astounded. I thought it was a really, really impressive
achievement for Hollywood.
But now I'm done. I am finished am done no more superheroes thank you yeah like yeah
i know i i get it like and again and i like i i understand why people like it so much and follow
and stuff but it's just um like i think you i don't hate superheroes i've watched you know like
daredevil i enjoyed that on netflix i think there is a little bit of burnout with it with all of
that stuff i think i think i went through a bit of burnout with it with all of that stuff i
think i think i went through a phase of watching trying to watch the best movies ever you know
and if you watch these highly rated movies they tend to be like they get pretty heavy pretty quick
and it's like you know this movie's about aids this movie's about autism this movie's about a
teenager with cancer this movie's about a dad whose child's being abducted this movie's about
pedophiles this movie's about i don't know do you know i mean suddenly it's like you're in this like
pretty there's not that many kind of comedy movies that aren't just zany and hangover and
wacky kind of throwaway garbage i don't know like most movies are to take themselves a bit
more seriously and i don't know sometimes i don't want that and sometimes also it's a little bit the
same with a book like you read a bad book and it puts you off doing it
for a while you know yeah um and so you have to kind of overcome that but actually there are some
really amazing movies out there coming out all the time oh yeah and i know like independent film and
stuff like i'm sure there's tons but i i i feel like you just sort of have to be into it which
i'm not really it is also more of an effort to actually sit down
and try and watch a movie, you know,
because you tend to have to pay attention.
Yeah.
And as a result, like, you can't just have it on
in the background while you do something else.
I mean, I've been watching, like, The Expanse recently,
which I've enjoyed.
It's fantastic.
Actually, I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed it.
But I, again, with, like, pacing the way that I do,
I don't even watch, like, a full episode. I watch, like, with like pacing the way that I do, I don't even watch like a full episode.
I watch like half an episode and then the next day I'll watch the other half and then sometimes bleed into a new episode or whatever.
Like, but it's just, just, just the way that I have time to do it and the way that I consume stuff, you know.
I feel like TV is like that now though.
But I mean, TV is, TV is more, it didn't, it used to be episodic for reasons you know broadcast but now
it's people just consume it like you do sips i think that's a very and they design that in mind
the episode kind of breaks are more just for yeah you know like i just timed with real stuff you
know like i i just watch stuff when i have a chance to you know like if i'm just you know
putting the kids to bed or whatever and that's fine um i think if they if they it makes sense for everyone to break it into chapters in the same
way that a book's broken into chapters and in the same way that they've always made it in episodes
and different writers can write them and different directors can direct them and as a result you end
up with this you know large production which is a lot bigger group of people working on it rather
than a singular two-hour vision you know which is kind of more of a movie certainly like but i'm constantly being
recommended tv shows i'd never fucking heard of like this week um they were talking about mythic
quest which is um all right the the um like robert mckellery the guy from always sunny did like a tv show with ubisoft yeah that's right
um about a game dev company and apparently it's pretty crap but one of the episodes is really
really good at the middle somewhere which was written by you know someone they're written by
different people and you know it's all that's how it works and some of them are probably better than
others but yeah apparently like that's something which i'm gonna watch because it's certainly interesting to me
um but i didn't even know that it existed until this week and i guess like because there must be
so much stuff out there that we we probably would like but we don't yeah you just need to be
recommended or like i mean like again like i would never watched again, like, I would never have watched. I love Dark, and I would never have watched it had I not been recommended it.
You know, like, I'd browsed past it numerous times, like, looking through Netflix, and it just didn't appeal.
They try and get you by changing the thumbnail.
All the time, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah, they change them constantly to make it look like it's a different show or there's a new season or something.
It's called A-B testing, P-Flex.
A-B testing.
Okay, do you remember when The Boys came out? or there's a new season or something like that. It's called A-B testing, P-Flex. A-B testing.
Okay.
Do you remember when The Boys came out?
And for ages, Amazon had ads running on Twitch that said The Boys, new episodes available now.
For like a year after the first season had come out
and had run its course, they ran the same ads.
It made me go back and check multiple times that
there were new episodes of the boys and there were not there were not right so i think they need to
be more careful with their well yeah i mean maybe they're not reading their your data as much as
they should because quite honestly like i constantly get recommended adverts for shows on amazon prime
i've already watched on amazon prime it's like i've finished all the episodes and it's like new
series of the expanse i'm like i know i've The Expanse. And I'm like, I know.
I've seen this. You don't have to
show me the ad for it again. Fuck's sake.
So read
my SEO better, Internet.
Get my watch history
on boards. Are we asking
for them to take more of our data?
Is that what's happening? You should be
watching me closer, Internet.
Still my data better, you chumps.
Jeez.
I've painted my cock and balls orange.
I've taken a picture of myself
with a white sheet.
Now, make sure you scan that
and understand.
Post it on the internet.
Send it to your girlfriend.
Send some dick and titty pics.
And do it well.
